Harold "Hal" Jordan, one of the characters known as Green Lantern, is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created in 1959 by writer John Broome and artist Gil Kane, and first appeared in Showcase #22 (October 1959). Hal Jordan is a reinvention of the previous Green Lantern who appeared in 1940s comic books as the character Alan Scott.
Hal Jordan is a former fighter pilot who works for Ferris Aircraft as a test pilot, a member and occasionally leader of an intergalactic police force called the Green Lantern Corps, as well as a founding member of the Justice League, DC's flagship superhero team, alongside well-known heroes such as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. He fights evil across the universe with a ring that grants him a variety of superpowers, but is usually portrayed as one of the protectors of Sector 2814, which is the sector where Earth resides. His powers derive from his power ring and Green Lantern battery, which in the hands of someone capable of overcoming great fear allows the user to channel their will power into creating all manner of fantastic constructs. Jordan uses this power to fly, even through the vacuum of space; to create shields, swords, and lasers; and to construct his Green Lantern costume, which protects his secret identity in his civilian life on Earth. Jordan and all other Green Lanterns are monitored and empowered by the mysterious Guardians of the Universe, who were developed from an idea editor Julius Schwartz and Broome had originally conceived years prior in a story featuring Captain Comet in Strange Adventures #22 (July 1952) entitled "Guardians of the Clockwork Universe".[1]
During the 1990s, Jordan also appeared as a villain. The story line Emerald Twilight saw a Jordan traumatized by the supervillain Mongul's destruction of Jordan's hometown Coast City, adopt the name "Parallax", and threaten to destroy the universe.[2] In subsequent years, DC Comics rehabilitated the character, first by having Jordan seek redemption for his actions as Parallax, and later by revealing that Parallax was in fact an evil cosmic entity that corrupted Jordan and took control of his actions. Between the character's stint as Parallax and his return to DC Comics as a heroic Green Lantern once more, the character also briefly served as the Spectre, a supernatural character in DC Comics stories who acts as God's wrathful agent on Earth.
Outside of comics, Hal Jordan has appeared in various animated projects, video games and live-action. Jordan's original design in the comics was based on actor Paul Newman,[3] and the character is ranked 7th on IGN's in the Top 100 Comic Book Heroes in 2011.[4] In 2013, Hal Jordan placed 4th on IGN's Top 25 Heroes of DC Comics.[5]
Hal Jordan made his cinematic debut in the 2011 film Green Lantern, played by Ryan Reynolds.
Publication history[edit]
Recreated for the Silver Age[edit]
After achieving great success in 1956 in reviving the Golden Age character The Flash, DC editor Julius Schwartz looked toward recreating the Green Lantern from the Golden Age of Comic Books.[6][7] Drawing from his love for science-fiction,[8][self-published source?] Schwartz intended to show the new Green Lantern in a more modern light, enlisting writer John Broome and artist Gil Kane, who in 1959 would reintroduce Green Lantern to the world in Showcase #22 (October 1959) by creating Hal Jordan.
The character was a success, and it was quickly decided to follow up his three-issue run on Showcase with a self-titled series. Green Lantern #1 began in July–August 1960 and would continue until #89 in April–May 1972.

Starting in issue #17, Gardner Fox joined the book to share writing duties with John Broome. The quartet of Schwartz, Broome, Fox, and Kane remained the core creative team until 1970.
O'Neil/Adams and socially-conscious Green Lantern/Green Arrow[edit]
Starting with issue #76 (April 1970), Dennis O'Neil took over scripting and Neal Adams, who had drawn the cover of issue #63, became the series' artist. O'Neil and Adams had already begun preparation for the classic run in the form of their re-workings of another DC superhero, the archer Green Arrow.[9]
Three panels ushering in the O'Neil/Adams run in Green Lantern #76.
In an introduction to the 1983 reprinting of this O'Neil/Adams run, O'Neil explains that he wondered if he could represent his own political beliefs in comics and take on social issues of the late sixties and early seventies. O'Neil devised the idea of portraying Hal Jordan, effectively an intergalactic law enforcement officer, as an establishment gradualist liberal figure against Oliver Queen (Green Arrow), who O'Neil had characterized as a lusty outspoken anarchist who would stand in for the counter-culture movement.[10] The first of these socially motivated Green Lantern/Green Arrow stories was written with Gil Kane slated to be the artist, but Kane dropped out and was replaced by Neal Adams.[11] The stories tackled questions of power, racism, sexism, and exploitation, and remain viewed in the comics community as the first socially-conscious superhero stories.[12]
Despite the work of Adams and O'Neil, Green Lantern sales had been in a major decline at the time Green Arrow was brought on as co-star, and their stories failed to revive the sales figures.[9] Green Lantern was canceled with issue #89 (April/May 1972), and the climactic story arc of the Green Lantern/Green Arrow series was published as a back-up feature in The Flash #217 through #219. In sharp contrast to the socially relevant tales which preceded it, this story centered on emotional themes, with Green Arrow struggling to deal with the guilt of having killed a man.[9] Green Lantern continued to appear in backup stories of Flash from 1972 until the Green Lantern title was resumed in 1976.
1980s exile[edit]
In Green Lantern #151 (April 1982) through #172 (January 1984), Jordan is exiled into space for a year by the Guardians in order to prove his loyalty to the Green Lantern Corps, having been accused of paying too much attention to Earth when he had an entire "sector" of the cosmos to patrol. When he returns to Earth, he finds himself embroiled in a dispute with Carol Ferris. Faced with a choice between love and the power ring, Jordan resigns from the Corps. The Guardians call Jordan's backup, John Stewart, to regular duty as his replacement.
In 1985, the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" storyline that rebooted much of DC Comics' character continuity saw Jordan again take up the mantle of Green Lantern. The new Corps, with seven members residing on Earth, included several aliens, John Stewart, and Guy Gardner. Jordan becomes romantically involved with an alien Lantern named Arisia, for which he comes under fire due to Arisia being only a teenager. The alien Lanterns take a more direct hand in human affairs, a fact not appreciated by human governments. Eventually, the Earth corps break up, several members returning to their home sectors. The Guardians soon return to this dimension, and Jordan works with them to rebuild the fractured Corps.
1990s[edit]
During this time, the character's origin story is re-told and expanded in two limited series by Keith Giffen, Gerard Jones, and James Owsley, Emerald Dawn and Emerald Dawn II. The first series expanded the role of the Corps in his origin and also provided more details about his childhood and his relationship with his father and brothers, while the sequel detailed the role of Jordan in the downfall of Sinestro.
In the 1992 prestige format graphic novel Green Lantern: Ganthet's Tale, Hal Jordan first encounters Ganthet, one of the Guardians of the Universe. Ganthet asks Hal to help him battle a renegade Guardian who has attempted to use a time machine to change history.

Reign of the Supermen, Destruction of Coast City, and transformation into Parallax[edit]
In the 1993 Reign of the Supermen! storyline, the alien tyrant Mongul and his forces destroy Coast City (Jordan's former home), murdering all of its seven million inhabitants, while Jordan was off world. Angered, he flies to Engine City and attacks Mongul, eventually knocking him out with Steel's hammer.[13] This leads into the Emerald Twilight arc, which sees Jordan using his power ring to recreate Coast City as an instrument in the process of overcoming his grief, and talking to ring-created versions of his old girlfriend and parents. After his ring's power expires, a projection of a Guardian appears and admonishes him for using the ring for personal gain and summons him to Oa (the homeworld of the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps) for disciplinary action.[14] Angered at what he sees as the Guardians' ungrateful and callous behavior, Jordan absorbs the energy from the Guardian's projection, goes insane and attacks Oa to seize the full power of the Central Power Battery (the source of power for all Green Lanterns), defeating and severely injuring several members of the Green Lantern Corps in the process, taking their power rings as his own and leaving them to die in space. He arrives on Oa and kills Kilowog, Sinestro, and all the Guardians except for Ganthet, who was protected by the other Guardians and survived without Jordan's knowledge.[15] He then renounces his life as Green Lantern, adopting the name Parallax after absorbing the Power Battery's vast powers.
Ganthet designates Kyle Rayner to replace Jordan as the Green Lantern of Earth when Rayner comes into possession of the last power ring, created from the shattered remains of Jordan's. Guy Gardner has visions of the Green Lantern Corps' destruction and his yellow power ring's energy (being powered by residual Green Lantern's energy) starts to fluctuate. Soon after, Gardner goes to Oa to investigate, bringing Martian Manhunter, Darkstar (Ferrin Colos), The Ray, Wonder Woman, Captain Atom, Alan Scott and Arisia with him. Jordan uses the element of surprise, attacks, and easily defeats them, leaving Guy in a coma. After the battle, Jordan sends them all back to Earth warning them to leave him alone in the future. Not long afterwards, Parallax attempts to rewrite history to his own liking with the help of Extant in the universe-wide event Zero Hour: Crisis in Time. Parallax destroys the Time Trapper and attempts to remake the universe into a perfect, peaceful place, causing time disruptions throughout the universe. Superman, Kyle Rayner and Metron call upon Earth's heroes to stop the mysterious disturbances. Jordan and Extant are eventually defeated when Hal exhausts most of his power from both fighting and manipulating the time stream. Green Arrow then takes advantage of Jordan's drained state and shoots an arrow into a weakened Jordan's chest.
Jordan makes a brief and redemptory appearance as Parallax in the 1996 Final Night miniseries/crossover storyline, apparently sacrificing his life to combat a threat to the solar system.[16]
Transformation into Spectre[edit]

In the 1999 mini-series Day of Judgment, Jordan becomes the newest incarnation of the Spectre, released from Purgatory after a fallen angel attempted to take that power.[17] Soon after assuming this mantle, Jordan chooses to bend his mission from a spirit of vengeance to one of redemption, also making other appearances through some of DC Comics' other story lines, such as advising Superman during the Emperor Joker storyline (where the Joker steals the reality-warping power of Mister Mxyzptlk) and erases all public knowledge of Wally West's identity as the Flash after his terrible first battle with Zoom, which led to his wife miscarrying their twins. He also appeared in a 4-part story arc in the series Legends of the DC Universe (issues #33–36). A new series based on this premise, titled The Spectre (vol. 4), ran for 27 issues from 2001 to 2003. In it, Hal loses his beloved brother, Jack Jordan, to a supernatural assassin. After the series ended, Jordan was forced to return, temporarily, to the Spectre's mission of vengeance, following a confrontation between the new Justice Society of America and the Spirit King, an old foe of the Spectre and Mister Terrific, who had managed to "resurrect" the ghosts of all those the Spectre had damned to Hell when Jordan's attempt to turn the Spectre's mission to redemption weakened his hold on the damned, until Hal 'accepted' his original mission of vengeance.
During the Identity Crisis storyline, Green Arrow visits Jordan at his grave, asking to exact revenge on Sue Dibny's killer. Although Hal admits knowing the culprit's identity (revealed later was Jean Loring), he refused as the Spectre to a higher purpose, and implying to Oliver that the killer would eventually be caught, thus explaining the Spectre's inaction.[18]
In 2004, DC launched the Green Lantern: Rebirth miniseries which brought Hal Jordan back to life and made him a Green Lantern once again, and in a redesigned Corps uniform. Shortly after the conclusion of Rebirth, DC Comics began a new Green Lantern (vol. 4) series, beginning with a new #1 and retconning his past murders as Parallax as the result of an intergalactic fear-driven parasite. The Green Lantern Corps has also been successfully rebuilt. Despite the revelation that Hal's past villainous activity was because of the influence of the parasite Parallax, many of his fellow Corps officers are unwilling to trust him, even Jordan, on some levels, believes the reason that Parallax succeeded in possessing him was because he surrendered to it, and thus acknowledges that he truly has a dark side. Despite being freed from Parallax, his experience also leads him occasionally to have a lack of confidence and self-doubt, making him no longer a daredevil he once was. Jordan also becomes friends with Kyle Rayner after their first battle with Parallax. In the new volume, Jordan moves to the nearly deserted Coast City, which is slowly being rebuilt. Reinstated as a captain in the United States Air Force, Jordan now works in the test pilot program at Edwards Air Force Base. The series introduces new supporting characters for Hal, including a man from his and his late-father's pasts, Air Force General Jonathan "Herc" Stone, who learns his secret identity during a battle with the Manhunters and acts as his ally. He also begins to develop a romantic attraction with his fellow pilot, the beautiful Captain Jillian "Cowgirl" Pearlman.[19][20][21] Returning characters also include Carol Ferris, Tom Kalmaku, and Jordan's younger brother James Jordan with his sister-in-law Susan and their children, Howard and Jane.
In this new title, he faces revamped versions of his Silver Age foes such as Hector Hammond, The Shark and Black Hand.[22][23][24] A new account of Green Lantern's origins is also released as part of this series. In this new origin, Hal Jordan is working as an assistant mechanic under Tom Kalmaku, barred from flying due to his insubordination while in the USAF and his employer's lingering guilt about his father's death in the line of duty. Green Lantern Abin Sur, while fighting the villain Atrocitus, crashes near Coast City. Knowing he is close to death, Sur sends his ring to seek a replacement (as all rings do when their wearer dies), and his ring fetches Jordan. Sur then informs Jordan that he is to replace him as the Green Lantern of Sector 2814.[25][26]
Infinite Crisis[edit]
As part of DC's 2006 event Infinite Crisis, Hal helps briefly with the attack of the OMACs and Brother Eye.[27] He also fights alongside a group of heroes against the Society of Supervillains, defending Metropolis. Guy Gardner leads the Green Lantern Corps attack against Superboy-Prime with Hal appearing in the group.[28]
As part of DC's post-Infinite Crisis retconning of the entire universe, all current stories skipped ahead one year in an event called One Year Later. This brought drastic changes to Hal Jordan's life, as with every other hero in the DC Universe. It is revealed that Jordan spent time as a P.O.W. in an unnamed conflict and has feelings of guilt from his inability to free himself and his fellow captives.[29]
Sinestro Corps War and other Pre-Flashpoint stories[edit]
Hal and the rest of the Green Lantern Corps find themselves at war with Sinestro and his army, the Sinestro Corps during the events of the Sinestro Corps War[30] As a Green Lantern native to Earth, Hal is featured in the Final Crisis mini-series by Grant Morrison.[31]
In the Agent Orange story arc, Jordan is briefly in command of Agent Orange's power battery after he steals it from Agent Orange in a battle. The orange light of avarice converses with Jordan, his costume changes, and he becomes the new Agent Orange. However, Larfleeze quickly takes his power battery back from Jordan.[32]
Jordan is also a character of focus in the new Justice League of America series as a charter member of the revamped JLA. He is also involved in the first plotline of the Brave and the Bold monthly series, teaming up first with Batman and later Supergirl. When teamed with the fledgling Supergirl, Hal is very impressed with her cleverness, although he finds her flirtatious behavior somewhat unnerving.[33]
In the Justice League: Cry for Justice mini-series, Hal leads his own Justice League with Green Arrow, Shazam, Supergirl, Congorilla, Starman, Batwoman, and the Atom in order to avenge the deaths of Martian Manhunter and Batman.[34] Jordan eventually recruits some of the former Titans members for the League's new lineup, including Batman's successor Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, and Starfire.

During the Blackest Night event, Hal allies himself with six other Lantern Corps during The War of Light. He finds himself facing many of his deceased allies, enemies, and people he failed to save reanimated as undead Black Lanterns under the control of the Green Lantern Corps' ancient enemy Nekron. Hal finds himself not only teaming up with Barry Allen (otherwise known as The Flash), who is also resurrected from his death, but also must work with his enemies Sinestro, Atrocitus, Larfleeze, and his former lover Carol Ferris.
The New 52[edit]
In 2011, after the universe-altering event Flashpoint, DC Comics relaunched its entire line of stories. In this era, Jordan returns to civilian life on Earth, having been discharged from the United States Air Force. This iteration of the hero, written by Geoff Johns and Robert Venditti, sees him team up with the villain Sinestro as the pair encounter ramifications of the Brightest Day/Blackest Night storylines, as well as a crossover with New Gods characters in Green Lantern: Godhead.
Hal Jordan is featured as a part of Justice League series relaunch as well. The initial issues of the title take place five years prior as Jordan assists Batman against a mysterious threat.[35] It is shown he is already friends with Barry Allen and each know the other's secret identity.[36] Hal also believes with the ring he can overcome anything by himself by sheer force of will. This leads to reckless behavior that almost gets him killed. It is only when Batman reminds him of his mortality by revealing his own identity as Bruce Wayne that Hal reconsiders his approach.[37] Five years after the team forms, Green Lantern resigns from the Justice League in an effort to keep the group functioning after his behavior put the team in peril during their fight with David Graves.[38] Subsequently, he returns to the Justice League to help Jessica Cruz learn how to control her powers.
In the aftermath, Hal gets a new look as he goes rogue from the Green Lantern Corps in order to create a scapegoat for the Corps and be the focus of the universe's blame and distrust for everything that had taken place in recent issues, such as the Third Army's assault or Relic's attack. The Corps itself – unaware of Jordan's intentions to show the universe that the Green Lanterns are not corrupt and will go after one of their own – believes that he has actually betrayed them when he attacks Kilowog. Along the way, Jordan steals a Green Lantern prototype gauntlet and power pack from the armoury, allowing him to continue to operate as a hero without the need for a power ring, although he is sometimes required to fight other Lanterns to maintain the illusion of independence.
DC Rebirth[edit]
In 2016, DC Comics implemented another relaunch of its books called "DC Rebirth", which restored its continuity to a form much as it was prior to "The New 52". Jordan returns to Earth temporarily to assign Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz the task of protecting Earth while he and the rest of the human Green Lanterns are away. He takes their power batteries and fuses them into a single battery to help the two bond as Lantern partners.
Subsequently, in DC Rebirth, Hal returns as Green Lantern again, now equipped with his self-constructed power ring, searching for the rest of the Green Lanterns and hunting down the Sinestro Corps. Hal takes on several Yellow Lanterns before fighting Sinestro and getting injured. He is healed by Soranik, Sinestro's daughter who now is a Yellow Lantern like her father. After being healed, he takes on and defeats Sinestro and saves Guy Gardner, who was being tortured by Sinestro. Hal is now reunited with the Green Lanterns who have entered a war with the Sinestro Corps. The battle leads them to the planet of Green Lantern Tomar-Tu. As they fight, Braniac shrinks the planet with the Lanterns in it. The shrunken planet is given to the Grand Collector which turns out to be Larfleeze, the Orange Lantern. Hal is believed to be dead in the destruction that came with the shrinking of the planet. He has been transported to the Emerald Space, an afterlife for deceased Lanterns. Guardians, Ganthet and Sayd call upon White Lantern Kyle Rayner to rescue Hal. Kyle pulls him out of the Emerald Space and the two meet up with the rest and escape from the shrunken planet and restore it. Larfleeze escapes with his orange construct Lanterns. The Green and Yellow Lanterns form an alliance.
Jordan appears with the Justice League in the Dark Nights: Metal mini-series.
The Green Lantern[edit]
With writer Grant Morrison taking the helm, Jordan returns to interstellar duty after a brief reprieve. Discovering a cosmic conspiracy is afoot, Jordan, under the orders of The Guardians Of The Universe, goes undercover and infiltrates the ranks of the sinister new threat of Controller Mu's Blackstars. There's a double-agent in the Green Lantern force, a traitor who's aiding these new antagonists and the undercover op is undertaken to root out the mole, while Jordan can gather intel and take down the threat. Mu is a lone Controller, with his Blackstars being an extremist separatist sect and a true cult, treating the idea of 'control' as almost a kind of religion. The story seems Jordan dealing with the threat of The Blackstars, while forming a dynamic with their general, Countess Belzebeth. With The Blackstars hunting for 5 mysterious 'components' to change reality, Jordan is faced with tough cases to crack. He arrests a Terravore pretending to be god and busts Volgar Zo's Planet Trafficking Ring, resolving the issue of Grand Theft Planet. He finds his old foe Evil Star's Star-Band stolen by The Blackstars. He dons the persona of 'The Man With No Name' to find intel. He faces the deadly trials and tests of a Blackstar on the Vampire World of Vorr. He then, with the aid of Belzebeth, joins The Blackstars in proper fashion and is dubbed a Knight of O.M.E.N. (Over-Master's Executive Network), the network under which all Blackstars operate. And as is law in the cult, he takes on a new name: Blackstar Parallax. He then faces down his old pal Adam Strange, forced to kill him to prove his loyalty to Mu and wins, while actually sparing and saving Adam's life through deceit. He then teams up with Adam, his wife Alanna and their daughter Alea to save the day. Controller Mu is killed by Alanna after he calls Jordan's bluff and his cover's busted. But Mu's 'death' sets off The U-Bomb to end the universe, which Jordan stops utilizing the power of the all Green Lanterns, mainlining The Central Power Battery. Then he vanishes, savior once more, presumed dead. But he's in truth spared and saved by his ring, which took him inside the universe it contains, where in classic foe Myrwhydden is caged. There he meets the A.I of his ring, Pengowirr (an anagram of Power Ring), and better understands the nature of his bond with his ring. From there onwards, he is able to consistently converse with the ring, as the partnership deepens.
Hal reunites with Green Arrow and goes on an adventure busting up an assassin from a cosmic cartel of Hadea Maxima, while dealing with a drug dealer from Dimension Zero, Glorigold DeGrande. Teaming up with Xeen Arrow and Xeen Lantern, the heroes save the day by shooting a giant cosmic arrow at the assassin Azmomza on Earth's moon. Hal then takes off for R&R on Athmoora, the fantasy world of 2814 and faces the evil wizard Ah-Bah-Nazzur, who turns out to be a Blackstar mind-controlled Green Lantern of Earth-20, Abin Sur. Teaming up with him and The Guardians Of The Multiverse, a team of multiversal Green Lanterns, a cosmic interpol, Hal faces off against The Anti-Man/The Qwa-Man, The Mad Lantern, who is his Anti-Matter counterpart, set loose by Controller Mu and The Blackstars. From there on, he reunites with Uugo, The Conscious Planet, Strong-Woman Of Thronn and joins this team on a rescue operation for The Star Sapphire of Earth-11 on the forbidden universe of Earth-15. Becoming part of The Cosmic Grail Quest, Jordan finds himself in grave danger facing a mysterious Lantern figure.
Powers and abilities[edit]
Main article: Power ring (DC Comics)
As a Green Lantern, Hal Jordan is semi-invulnerable, capable of projecting hard-light constructions, flight, and utilizing various other abilities through his power ring which are only limited by his imagination and willpower. Jordan, as a Green Lantern, has exceptional willpower.
As Parallax, Hal was one of the most powerful beings in all of the DC Universe. In addition to his normal Green Lantern powers, he was able to manipulate and reconfigure time-space to his will, manipulate reality at a large scale, had vast superhuman strength which he demonstrated by being able to knock out Superman with one punch, a higher sense of awareness and enhanced durability. As Parallax, he was still able to be harmed nearly just as easily as a normal Green Lantern but seemed to be able to endure more physical punishment. While Hal Jordan was Parallax, he was never defeated by physical force; all of his very few defeats were of a changed mental state during or after the battle, which was usually the result of dealing with his own conscience, and he would just give up, leave the battle, and hide himself.

As with other characters published by DC Comics, many alternative universe versions and analogues of the character have appeared within both the Green Lantern series and other titles.
In Action Comics #856, a Bizarro version of Hal, called Yellow Lantern, is featured. Yellow Lantern possessed a Sinestro Corps ring and used it to inflict fear among Htrae's inhabitants.[39]
The Green Lantern of Earth-5 is shown to be the Hal Jordan of Captain Marvel's world (Earth-5) in the New 52 multiverse. He is killed in Countdown: Arena #2 by Monarch.[40] A Green Lantern named Hal Jordan III, grandson of the original Hal Jordan, from the world of Batman Beyond. He is labelled as Green Lantern of Earth-12. He loses his left arm in battle with Monarch.[40]
The character has also appeared in and been the focus of many Elseworlds titles, including JLA: Age of Wonder,[41] DC: The New Frontier,[42] Superman: Red Son as a former POW turned leader of the Green Lantern Marine Corps.,[43] JLA: The Nail[44] (where he was the leader and most powerful member of the JLA in a world where Superman was never found by the Kents), Green Lantern: Evil's Might[45] and the John Byrne penned Superman & Batman: Generations 2 (this Jordan pursuing a career in politics before he was forced to use the ring against Sinestro)[46] and a part of the Frank Miller Dark Knight universe, appearing in All Star Batman and Robin[47] and Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again.
In The Dark Knight Returns, it is stated that Jordan left Earth years ago when politics forced the heroes to 'retire', while in The Dark Knight Strikes Again, he returned when Batman requested his help to destroy Lex Luthor's weapons satellites.[48] In The Dark Knight III: The Master Race, Hal returns to Earth once again when a group of Kryptonians, led by the ruthless Quar, are released from Kandor. The Kryptonians dismiss him as nothing but a man with a ring and burn his hand off before leaving him to fall to his death,[49] although he is rescued by the Hawks and manages to reclaim his hand and ring later.
In the DC/Marvel Company crossover series Amalgam Comics, there appeared to be two amalgams of Hal. Iron Lantern was the amalgam of Hal Jordan and Tony Stark. His identity was known as Hal Stark. Another unknown amalgam of Hal Jordan appeared in Speed Demon #1, in which the Speed Demon killed "Madman" Jordan, as apparently this Jordan had committed a horrible crime.
Hal Jordan is a character in JLA/Avengers, which featured a crossover between DC and Marvel Comics. Despite the fact that both teams travel to both of their respective universes, this is one of the few comics featuring multiple universes that remains in (DC) continuity. During this story, Hal gets a vision of his future as Parallax in the 'real' universe after a reality is created where the two universes have regularly interacted for years, but nevertheless resolves to restore reality as the heroes cannot choose their lives over the lives of those being affected by the current chronal disruption.
An alternate version of Hal Jordan also appeared in the Pocket Universe Earth created by the Time Trapper. He, along with various other heroes who had no superpowers in this reality, teamed up with a good version of Lex Luthor to stop three evil Kryptonians who had escaped from the Phantom Zone. Hal Jordan piloted an advanced jet craft that was easily destroyed by the Kryptonians.
Though Jordan was never one of the main characters in the award-winning mini-series Kingdom Come, a version of him from the Earth-22 (A post Infinite Crisis alternate universe) made a cameo at the end of the storyline" Thy Kingdom Come" story arc on the issue of Justice Society of America (vol. 3) #22, during Batman's funeral.
A new version of Power Ring, the villainous Green Lantern analogue of the Crime Syndicate of America, appeared and is stated as being the "original" (though previously unseen) iteration of the character. He has been presumed dead years earlier. It is implied that he was reborn in his reality as a direct result of Jordan's resurrection in Green Lantern: Rebirth.[50]
In the alternate timeline of the Flashpoint event, Hal Jordan was reckless as a flying ace. He along with Carol Ferris was on an F-22 Raptor entering Western Europe territory before the Shark attacks. Hal forces the Shark to crash his jet into Carol's jet, and both of them barely got out of the ejection system. Upon their return to America, Hal was about to fly the jet. However, he witnesses a spaceship crash to Earth and was approached by the ship's survivor, Abin Sur, asking for help.[51] However, Abin Sur is subsequently taken into custody by Cyborg and the government to be questioned about his reasons for being on Earth.[52] Later, when Amazonian invisible planes invade over Coast City, Hal and Carol manage to shoot down the invisible planes and the hydra that they dropped. Later, Hal is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission to use a Green Arrow Industries nuclear weapon to bomb Western Europe.[53] Later, Hal is ready to fly on the F-35 with the Green Arrow nuclear weapon attempting to destroy Western Europe at the end of the Atlantean/Amazon war.[54] During the battles on New Themyscira, Hal possesses the remaining nuclear weapon, but his firing mechanism jams. Hal's only option is to fly through New Themyscira on a suicide attack, causing a process which destroys not only New Themyscira's invisible shield, but Hal with it. Afterwards, Thomas Kalmaku gives Carol a note saying that Hal was afraid to say that he had always loved her. Carol sees the engagement ring that he was going to propose to her.[55]
In the distant future, the Book of Oa shows that Hal will eventually marry Carol and their son would be named Martin Jordan after Hal's father.[56]
In the possible future of Futures End, Hal Jordan had left his role as Corps leader behind, promising to never again leave Earth unprotected after a gruesome war killed thousands of people, including Hal's mother. Living what looks like a bachelor's life in Coast City, Hal learns from his deceased father that Krona has become the new leader of the Black Lantern Corps, which forces Hal to renege on his vow and to take them head on with only the help of a new ally, Relic. The ensuing battle occurs near the Source Wall, which is a miniature Blackest Night version, with Relic giving Hal access to the rest of the emotional spectrum needed to handle his foes. As Hal is quickly overrun, he sacrifices himself to end the Black Lantern threat once and for all. Critically wounded and barely alive, Hal is placed inside the Source Wall, just like Relic was.[57]
In the crossover series Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War, the return of Nekron in a not-too-distant future results in the complete destruction of the DC Universe,[58] with Hal Jordan and the other members of the original 'new Guardians' the only survivors after Ganthet initiates the 'Last Light' protocol, banishing all surviving ring-wielders to the alternate Star Trek universe, where his corpse is collected by the USS Enterprise.[59] After Hal makes contact with the Enterprise and learns of Nekron's return in this universe, he assists the crew in thwarting the new ring-bearers, as well as dealing with the threats of Atrocitus, Sinestro and Larfleeze. With Nekron defeated, Hal joins the Enterprise in their mission of exploration.[60] In the sequel, Hal leads the Enterprise crew in tracking down the Oa of this universe, culminating in Kirk becoming the first Green Lantern native to the Star Trek universe, accompanying Hal as he prepares to search for this world's version of Krypton.
In the in-continuity company-wide story Convergence, the Zero Hour-era Hal Jordan and the people of Metropolis are stolen from that timeline immediately before the reboot event at the end of Zero Hour by Brainiac and stored on the planet Telos along with cities of heroes and villains from other eras and Earths of the DC Comics multiverse.[61] The villain Deimos, also on the planet, steals the power of the Time Masters and attempts to remake the multiverse in his image, only to be killed by Hal Jordan using the power of Parallax and still vengeful over the loss of Coast City. This attack causes the multiverse to begin to unravel, prompting a crisis event from which it will not survive.[62] When Brainiac explains that he can send the heroes home, he is prevented by damage from the original Crisis on Infinite Earths event from restoring the universe to normal. Seeking redemption for his recent actions, Parallax volunteers to go with the pre-Flashpoint era Superman to the time of the original Crisis. Their contribution to that great battle is enough to change the outcome and avert the collapse of the original Multiverse; and thus Parallax saves the Multiverse, and undoes the events of Zero Hour in the process.[63]
In the DC Bombshells series, Hal Jordan is an American pilot attending a Christmas party in London who becomes smitten with Harley Quinn after witnessing her beat up most of the men at the scene. Harley tricks him to take her to the airfield, where she knocks him out and steals his plane.[64]
In the series Green Lantern: Earth One, set in the near future, Hal Jordan is a former astronaut who worked on a joint project between NASA and Monarcha Energy to build Arrowhead, an orbital platform which was intended to be used for deep space exploration, but which Jordan discovered was in fact a space weapon. It is implied that Arrowhead was used in a coup which ushered in an authoritarian regime. Feeling responsible for not speaking up, and disillusioned with humanity, Hal took a job as an asteroid miner with Ferris Galactic in an attempt to leave Earth. Jordan stumbles across one of the few remaining power rings in the galaxy, as the Green Lantern Corps was wiped out by the Manhunters generations ago. Thrust into the wider galaxy, Jordan teams up with Kilowog, a ring-bearer and the descendant of a Green Lantern, and begins searching for allies against the Manhunters. After repeatedly failing to enlist the aid of the few remaining ring-bearers, Jordan is eventually captured while his ring is drained and enslaved by the Manhunters on a planet that is revealed to be Oa. He discovers the presumed destroyed Central Power Battery, and is able to rally the bearers of all surviving power rings to join him in rescuing the Battery and freeing the slaves. With the Battery restored and the power rings' full powers unlocked, the Green Lantern Corps is revived under the leadership of Arisia. Hal returns to Earth and reveals his identity as a Green Lantern to his Captain, Amy Seaton.[65]

When writing a research paper, the writer must consider a number of elements to make sure his paper is comprehensive and effective. Aside from ensuring that the writer discusses an interesting research paper topics, small details such as research paper foot notes and research paper cover page must also be kept in mind.

A research paper outline is one of the useful tools when writing a research paper. The parts of an outline include the research paper introduction, body and research paper conclusion, among others. These parts are similar to the research paper itself – hence, it serves as the basis of a writer when composing his paper. In order to write an effective research paper outline, it is best to gather all your researched materials first. Doing so will also help you identify whether the materials you have gathered is already sufficient or not. The introduction is the first part of the research paper where you will write the thesis statement.
You can give the reason why you have chosen the research paper topic and what the discipline can benefit from your paper. Next is the body where you will write all the findings of your study, together with the literature review. The last part of the outline is the research paper outline conclusion. Aside from enlisting your inference in this section, you can also make suggestions on what further studies will be most helpful. Need further research paper help? ProfEssays.com helps you by writing you the custom research paper that you need. Buy research paper from us and have a stress free way of dealing with your deadline.
In many cases, a university student will be required to come up with a research paper proposal before he can move on with writing the research paper itself. Writing a research paper proposal should go beyond research paper topic suggestions. In reality, proposal should be thought of as a mini-research paper because it already incorporates the key elements of a research paper. Introduction, literature review, methodologies, bibliography and research proposal conclusion are some of these. Though a seemingly taxing and redundant job, writing a research paper proposal must not be taken lightly.
Truth is, proposals can provide sufficient benefits to the student more than the academe or the professor. A proposal can help you identify whether you have sufficient and relevant reference materials. Moreover, the time you would devote in writing your proposal will allow you to identify if you are really interested with the topic that you have chosen. Finally, a well written research paper proposal will allow you to devote a smaller amount of time when you write the research paper because majority of the work would have been done initially. Looking for a place to buy research paper? ProfEssays.com provides you the custom research paper that you need for an affordable price.

Cruise Ship to Visit the Great Lakes in 2022
Who doesn't Love being on a beautiful cruise ship? I've been on two cruise ships and had the time of my life. I've been on a Carnival cruise and a Norwegian cruise.
But instead of flying to Miami, Florida to board a cruise ship, why not board a cruise ship on one of our Great Lakes?
A cruise ship currently being built in Norway is scheduled to visit the Great Lakes including a stop at Traverse City in northern Michigan eight times in 2022.
About a year ago, the Discovery Center and Pier announced plans to transform a former Michigan coal dock into a site that ships could use to land passengers, in efforts to attract more cruise ship traffic to Grand Traverse Bay.
The 665 foot long Viking Octantis is offering four different itineraries, starting in January 2022.
The cruise itinerary that includes dates in Traverse City, called Niagara & the Great Lakes, will shuttle between Toronto and Milwaukee, with stops at Niagara Falls, Point Pelee on Lake Erie in Ontario, Detroit, Alpena and Mackinac Island. Here's more from wxyz.com.

Sony PS5 DualShock 5 Controller Patent Leak Hints At Biofeedback Tracking
Fancy new features could be headed to next-generation game controllers. As it pertains to the DualShock 5 for the Sony's upcoming PlayStation 5 console, biofeedback could be part of the package, allowing the controller to detect the player's heartbeat and even if their level of sweat. For what purpose? Increased immersion, of course.
A supposed patent viewed by Respawn First outlines the biofeedback mechanisms. Assuming it's real, Sony describes having sensors on one or both grips of a controller (potentially the DualShock 5) to track electrodermal activity, or sweat secretion, and a user's heart rate. That information could then be relayed to the PS5 so that changes in gameplay could be made accordingly.
How exactly this might work is not known, though it has our minds racing at the possibilities. Perhaps the most logical implementation would be a dynamic difficulty level in a particular game. If a player is having a hard time beating a level or conquering a boss and is getting frustrated, the game could adjust the difficulty, depending on the player's perceived stress level.
Hopefully this would be something the user could choose to turn on or off, rather than having dynamic difficulty settings force upon them. Of course, there could be other ways to leverage biofeedback as well, depending on how creative developers get.
Source: Respawn First
"There is a desire in computer gaming to provide an immersive and highly interactive experience for players, so as to enhance the enjoyment of the player. This has become of particular interest with the increasing availability of head-mounted displays," the patent states.
The patent also discusses using images of the user captured with with the PlayStation Camera. It's not clear how it would work in conjunction with the biofeedback sensors on the controller, though.
It will be interesting to see how the DualShock 5 comes together. Previous patent leaks have pointed to it potentially having adaptive triggers and other features. It's also worth nothing that PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan previously indicated there are "bigger differences" coming to the PS5 that have not yet been announced.
Barring any hiccups between now and then, the PS5 is scheduled to launch at the end of the year.

The more bikes in a row, the less likely it is that your specific one will be stolen.
Friday means a sweaty day of biking to work, but Saturday is all about a party at the Black Cat ($10, 9 p.m.-midnight). The Washington Area Bicyclist Association will be setting up extra mike racks outside the venue -- which means no, you don't actually get to dance with your bike. We know you're just crushed.
Console yourself with DJs spinning all night long, raffle prizes -- e.g., a SWOBO Folsom bike -- and a photo booth (remember, if an event these days doesn't have one, it's not worth your time). Plus, Bike Prom King and Queen will be crowned before the night's out.
The theme of Bike Prom this year is "Wheeling Through Time," which means they actually want you to dress in clothes from your fave time period. Ehh, just hit up American Apparel and say your favorite year was 1983. Problem solved.


Today's jigsaw returns us to the Duchy of the Coeurs, which we featured on this week's Designing Worlds – and it's very appropriate to feature a carriage as the Coeurs has one of the best transport systems in all Second Life both for residents and visitors.
If you are a visitor, you will find frequent carriage stops throughout the regions. When you summon a carriage, instead of – somewhat unrealistically – rezzing before your eyes, the horse and carriage come along the road and pause at the stop for you to embark. You are offered a wide choice of destinations too, based not upon region names (which might not mean too much to the visitor, but on themes instead such as romance, or shopping.
If you are a resident in the Duchy, you can actually summon a carriage to come to your door and take you where you wish …. and again it will come up as though from the stable or, indeed, a nearby inn.
But before you pay a visit, let's do a jigsaw!
One of my all-time favorite group of sims. It is huge and the owners (who are great) are constantly tweaking things. The carriages are fun and as for the boats—there are some great cave canals.

A Generall Chart from England to Cape Bona...
William Mount & Thomas Page
A Generall Chart from England to Cape Bona Espranca With the Coast of Brasile Sold by Willm. Mount and Thos. Page on Tower Hill London.
London / 1702 circa
Fine sea chart of the Southern Atlantic Ocean, first published in London by John Thornton.
The general map from Thornton's English Pilot The Third Book, concentrating on oriental navigation, showing the first half of the route to the Far East. The chart also shows the Atlantic west to Newfoundland and Brazil.
Engraved in the style of Portolan Charts, with a singular interest in coastal features, most notably the area west of the coast of Africa marked with lines leaded E and A, which demarcates the area where the winds were safest for navigation, known as the Waage Weg.
Waage Weg or Karrepad
The Waage Weg is intended to illustrate the best navigable route through the area known as the Doldrums, north of the Equator. The system was referred to as Karrepad or Wagenweg. The following explanation of the Waage Weg annotation was provided by Hans Kok.
The letters A through G derive from the Sailing instructions in use by the Dutch East Indian Company (VOC) and were used on most Dutch sea charts and sometimes also taken up by foreign charts. The marks were primarily used on an official basis after 1741 officially, but some earlier charts attempt to utlize this system of navigation near the equator.
The system is called the Karrepad or Wagenweg in Dutch, translating into Waggonpath or Waggon trail The name originates from a horse-drawn waggon, where the wheels cut two parallel tracks in the road The idea was that all ships should transit the doldrum/equator area within these tracks in order to avoid long delays which might otherwise occur outside of the "Waage Weg". This area is now called the intertropical convergence zone. The Karrepad starts at 11° 30 North and runs to the equator, sometimes it starts at 12° 00 North.
The area around the equator is heated most by the sun, causing hot air to rise up to the tropopause (c.40.000 feet), where it spreads out and comes down again around the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The descending air spreads out at the earth surface, pushing to the north and south. The air masses going towards the equator meet there, come to a standstill and rise again when heated up. As a result the colliding air masses cause large areas of calm winds, known as the doldrums. In this area the sailing ships may have no useful winds for weeks and will thus be subject to currents in the ocean that will transport them west (when west of the Karrepad) or east (when east of the Karrepad) as these are the prevailing currents there.
The chart is scarce on the market. This is the first example we have offered for sale.

Although most of you would agree that any language is made up with - well, words, I encounter endless numbers of students that have a difficult time integrating vocabulary learning in their Swedish studies. Although some of them have made a conscious efforts not to learn words (planning to save that project for later), most of them struggle because of poor technique. As I mostly work with intermediate and advanced Swedish, vocabulary acquisition, integration and implementation are inevitable and necessary measures for progress.
Five or ten minutes of revision on a daily basis is much more effective and efficient than three hours the night before your class. It takes three weeks to get into a good habit, it is worth the effort.
A common mistake is to revise vocabulary through reading, or merely looking. This is not a particularly effective technique, unless you have an extraordinary photographic memory. Just like lifting weights (rather than looking at them) will help you build muscles, making an effort when learning new words will make them stick.
Reading out aloud will involve many more parts of your brain than reading silently. This way, you can also rely on muscle memory.
Writing and re-writing words and phrases serves the same purpose, with more focus on orthography than pronunciation, of course..
Testing yourself is not only a great idea to see how much you already know, but also to make your brain make that extra effort of - exactly, relying on memory. Flash-cards, folding pages in your notebooks, asking a friend to test you.
Actually, remembering words of their context makes it much more difficult. You know the textbook you use for your studies. Read the dialogues or the texts aloud, copy important phrases in writing. When you put a word in a context, it will become much more meaningful and you are more likely to remember it. You probably agree that it would be much easier to memorise a song than a full page from a phonebook (when these still existed).
When reading a text, write down similar phrases that relate to your own life. If you are learning, say, personal attributes, write a short text describing a person you know well rather than an imaginary, abstract figure. If you are learning the clock and times of the day, make a schedule where you specify what you normally do at these hours.
What about the gender of nouns?
This, apparently, is what most prospective of students fear. En or ett? Many of them tell me of how they fail at this before they even start.
There is a curious mistake here, that a majority of my students make. They memorise the noun by itself, and then somehow 'tag' it, as belonging to one of the two categories.
A few years ago, I started asking my students why so many of stick to this technique, although it does not work. To my surprise, they all gave me the same answer. They believe they 'save memory' by doing this, that is, that the unit hus somehow 'takes less space in their brains' than ett hus or huset. Whereas this may be a good method for efficiency for digital devices, our brains seem to work the opposite. In fact, it is much easier to memorise and remember a phrase such as huset, or even better, huset är gammalt och stort rather than hus - #ett, despite it being longer and more complex. This again, relates back to what I said about creating contexts rather than approaching vocabulary through abstract systems. Another advantage with learning phrases like this, rather than the smallest possible units, is that you will reinforce your knowledge of grammar.
And what about the verbs?
In your dictionary, paper or digital, verbs are traditionally presented in the infinitive form. In many languages, such as French, this is very useful, because you know from the infinitive how to conjugate them. In some languages, such as English, it does not even matter.
But just looking at the imperative (stäng!, öppna!, dansa!, läs!), or the present tense (stänger, öppnar, dansar, läser), more clues are immediately available, as you will know whether you are dealing with an -ar verb (group 1) or an -er verb (groups 2a and 2b). Therefore, I strongly recommend you to revise and memorise verbs in the imperative or the present tense, and derive other tenses (and the infinitive) from there.

There has been a "breakdown" in the structure of the U.S. stock market that regulators need to address in order to shore up investor confidence and long-term prospects for the economy, Steven Einhorn of hedge fund Omega Advisors said.
Omega's vice chairman pointed to the volatility on Aug. 24 when the markets opened dramatically lower, with the Dow Jones industrial average briefly slumping more than 1,000 points — its most dramatic intraday trading range ever — following an earlier selloff in China.
"It happened because of a breakdown in market structure," he said at the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit in New York.
The wild price swings in August as a result of lower liquidity and higher volatility may have scared some individual investors away from the stock market, which at times may have looked more like a casino, he said.
"And that's detrimental to the long-term growth of the U.S. because the equity market is a source of capital for companies to grow and there has to be something that re-instills confidence on the part of investors that we are not in a casino."
Einhorn said one big change in recent years has been that trillions of dollars that are now run through electronic, algorithmic and quantitative investing strategies that react to signals in the market and provide catalysts for selling.
One solution might be for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to reintroduce the so-called "up-tick" rule, which until 2007 prevented investors from shorting a stock at a price less than the last trade, he said. This kept short-sellers from creating a snowball effect when a stock was already in steep decline.
"The SEC has a responsibility to delve into it so we can better understand the sources of this unusual volatility because there is a cost to it, — people leave the equity market and they have less confidence and faith in it as a place to save."

Music Degree
Music Degree - Online and Campus Programs
A career in the music industry can be difficult--long periods of unemployment, unpredictable hours, low salaries, and frequent bouts of rejection. But for those with talent and passion for music, the trials and tribulations are worth it.
What Are My Career Options in Music?
Not all music industry professionals are singers or musicians. Other jobs include:
Composers, who create original music for symphonies or media
Music directors or conductors, who direct, plan, and conduct performances by symphonies, choirs, or musical troupes
Arrangers, who adapt pieces of music for particular uses
Music teachers, who instruct others in vocal or instrumental performance, or in understanding and appreciating music in general
Producers, who identify musical talent and may record their work, distribute, and market it.
Do I Need a Music Degree?
Most musicians would agree that talent is more important than formal training. However, honing that talent through formal voice or instrument training programs is crucial for your career. Such music programs also enable budding musicians to get practice performing. If you want to work in the business of music, you need formal business training in addition to musical skills. And, of course, if your interests lie in teaching, you need at least a bachelor's degree, and likely a master's degree.
What Can I Expect From a Music Career?
The future of music careers isn't likely to change much in the coming years, which is why the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts average growth of about 8 percent through 2018. And although it's possible to make a lot of money in music, it's extremely rare; the median hourly salary for musicians in 2008 was $21.24.

Pink gets her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
All her dreams have finally come true - by Sarah Michaud
Get the Hollywood Walk of Fame party started!
On Tuesday afternoon, Pink (née Alecia Moore) brought her kids — son, Jameson Moon, 2, and daughter, Willow Sage, 7 — and her husband, former motocross star Carey Hart, to accept one of the biggest honors for any pop, movie or TV star: receiving her own star on the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. Pink's star sits next to Jackie Chan's and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's, according to Variety.
"This is surreal. It has been a trip lately thinking back over the course of this career I've somehow managed to have. I signed my first record deal 23 years ago … and I'm only 23½ so that's crazy," the singer-songwriter, 39, joked as she accepted the award.
"It's been two decades and it's been meaningful and it's been awesome. Today for me is a celebration of something that my dad taught me. And that is 'to thine own self be true' … There is a power in believing in yourself — you may not be the best that ever did it, you may not be the prettiest or the tallest of the funniest or the most talented … if you're stubborn and you don't give up and you work really hard — no one else can ever be you. Today is an absolute honor. Today proves that."
She added: "Thank you to my fans — you guys make it matter. Thank you for coming. My husband — he's so cute. He's my muse and if he didn't piss me off all the time I'd have not much to say. I wouldn't be standing up here if it wasn't for you. Never change. My children — you guys are my stars and I would never shine without you."
Ellen DeGeneres, who uses a Pink song as the theme of her eponymous daytime talk show, supported the singer with a speech. The musician won an Emmy in 2016 for the song, titled "Today's the Day." Pal Kerri Kenney-Silver also spoke highly of her friend, saying, ""She shows up — in the biggest way imaginable."

Ahead of Tuesday's ceremony, Pink shared that her mother had traveled to Los Angeles especially for her big day. She posted a selfie of the pair on Instagram, writing, "My mama is here and ready to party on Hollywood Blvd and Highland Blvd tomorrow at 11:30 am. They're giving me a ⭐ come join us x."
In an interview with Variety published Tuesday, the singer revealed that, during to the ceremony, a dream she'd had since the beginning of her career would finally be coming true.
"I moved to Venice Beach when I was 19 and I didn't know anybody — or anything," Pink told the magazine. "I came out here by myself and I used to go to Hollywood Boulevard to buy stripper heels. I just remember seeing all those stars and thinking: 'God, I hope this happens for me.' And here we are."
After receiving her star, Grammy winner will head out in March for an extended North American leg of her "Beautiful Trauma" tour, which will include 37 shows in two countries over three months, Variety reports. It's named after her latest album, which clinched her 20th Grammy nomination, this one for best pop vocal album.
On the tour — just like on Tuesday — Pink's kids are coming with her, even though she's previously spoken about how challenging bringing them can be.
"Going on tour with children is really tricky. It's exhausting. It's the hardest thing I've ever done," Pink told fellow mum Reese Witherspoon in an interview aired in 2018. "But I'm very, very fortunate that I get to bring my kids with me and that I kind of get to integrate them into my [work] life."
She's also previously said that her kids will ultimately decide when she permanently parks her tour bus.
"When touring stops working for the kids, if they decide they just want to be home and have a normal life, whatever that means, I'll stop because they are by far the priority," Pink told Redbook magazine in its May 2018 issue.
"I think it's cool that they get to see their mom be the boss and work really freaking hard to realize a dream," she added. "I'd say it's 95 percent positive."
She then revisited her first tour as a mom for the outlet.
"When I left [for the Truth About Love Tour], Willow was 14 months, and I would come offstage and breastfeed her. That was our bonding time and some of my favorite moments," she recalled, adding, "Jameson is now doing the same thing."
And Pink wouldn't want it any other way.
"If I had nannies raising my kids and just wanted to be a rock star and party all the time, I wouldn't be successful and I wouldn't be happy," she admitted. "I've never juggled so many damn plates in my life, but it's because I want to. I enjoy it."

Yep, Saturday morning hit...and with it the absolute feeling of lethargy......which means that I slept in a bit and didn't get up to exercise. I'm not too overly concerned. I only work until noon. And then at that point I am going to run home, eat a quick lunch and then run over to the other house to work. I'll be painting, climbing ladders, squating to dip brushes/rollers, etc etc etc. for a couple hours, so at least I'll be somewhat active today. I should be able to have at least 4-5 hours over there to work today. On one hand, I'm dreading going over there and working...I'll be by myself and I really do get tired of painting. In fact, its already starting to wear thin. But on the other hand, I'm so excited about getting it done that I just want to be over there constantly to get it done as quickly as possible.
My weightw as down to 181.6 this morning...so at least I'm going downward....slowly!
