It featured the landmark Twin Towers , which opened on April 4 , 1973 and were destroyed in 2001 during the September 11 attacks . At the time of their completion , the Twin Towers -- the original 1 World Trade Center , at 1,368 feet ( 417 m ) ; and 2 World Trade Center , at 1,362 feet ( 415.1 m ) -- were the tallest buildings in the world . Other buildings in the complex included the Marriott World Trade Center ( 3 WTC ) , 4 WTC , 5 WTC , 6 WTC , and 7 WTC . The complex was located in New York City 's Financial District and contained 13,400,000 square feet ( 1,240,000 m ) of office space . The core of the complex was built between 1975 and 1985 , with a cost of $400 million ( equivalent to $2.27 billion in 2018 ) . The World Trade Center experienced a fire on February 13 , 1975 , a bombing on February 26 , 1993 , and a bank robbery on January 14 , 1998 . In 1998 , the Port Authority decided to privatize the World Trade Center , leasing the buildings to a private company to manage , and awarded the lease to Silverstein Properties in July 2001 . On the morning of September 11 , 2001 , Al - Qaeda - affiliated hijackers flew two Boeing 767 jets into the North and South Towers within minutes of each other ; two hours later , both towers collapsed . The attacks killed 2,606 people in and within the vicinity of the towers , as well as all 157 on board the two aircraft . Falling debris from the towers , combined with fires that the debris initiated in several surrounding buildings , led to the partial or complete collapse of all the buildings in the complex and caused catastrophic damage to ten other large structures in the surrounding area . The cleanup and recovery process at the World Trade Center site took eight months , during which the remains of the other buildings were demolished . The World Trade Center complex was rebuilt over more than a decade . The site is being rebuilt with six new skyscrapers , while a memorial to those killed in the attacks and a new rapid transit hub have both opened . One World Trade Center , the tallest building in the United States , is the lead building for the new complex , reaching more than 100 stories upon completion in November 2014 .

It was on this shoreline close to the intersection of Greenwich and the former Dey Street that Dutch explorer Adriaen Block 's ship , the Tyger , burned to the waterline in November 1613 , stranding Block and his crew and forcing them to overwinter on the island . They built the first European settlement in Manhattan . The remains of the ship were buried under landfill when the shoreline was extended starting in 1797 , and were discovered during excavation work in 1916 . The remains of a second ship from the eighteenth century were discovered in 2010 during excavation work at the site . The ship , believed to be a Hudson River sloop , was found just south of where the Twin Towers used to stand , about 20 feet below the surface . Later , the area became Radio Row . New York City 's Radio Row , which existed from 1921 to 1966 , was a warehouse district on the Lower West Side in the Financial District . Harry Schneck opened City Radio on Cortlandt Street in 1921 , and eventually the area held several blocks of electronics stores , with Cortlandt Street as its central axis . The used radios , war surplus electronics ( e.g. , ARC - 5 radios ) , junk , and parts often piled so high they would spill out onto the street , attracting collectors and scroungers . According to a business writer , it also was the origin of the electronic component distribution business . The idea of establishing a World Trade Center in New York City was first proposed in 1943 . The New York State Legislature passed a bill authorizing New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey to begin developing plans for the project but the plans were put on hold in 1949 . During the late 1940s and 1950s , economic growth in New York City was concentrated in Midtown Manhattan . To help stimulate urban renewal in Lower Manhattan , David Rockefeller suggested that the Port Authority build a World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan . Plans for the use of eminent domain to remove the shops in Radio Row bounded by Vesey , Church , Liberty , and West Streets began in 1961 when the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was deciding to build the world 's first world trade center . They had two choices : the east side of Lower Manhattan , near the South Street Seaport ; and the west side , near the H&M station , Hudson Terminal . Initial plans , made public in 1961 , identified a site along the East River for the World Trade Center . As a bi-state agency , the Port Authority required approval for new projects from the governors of both New York and New Jersey . New Jersey Governor Robert B. Meyner objected to New York getting a $335 million project . Toward the end of 1961 , negotiations with outgoing New Jersey Governor Meyner reached a stalemate . The Radio Row in 1936 , with the Cortlandt Street station in the background , as seen in a photograph by Berenice Abbott At the time , ridership on New Jersey 's Hudson and Manhattan Railroad ( H&M ) had declined substantially from a high of 113 million riders in 1927 to 26 million in 1958 after new automobile tunnels and bridges had opened across the Hudson River . In a December 1961 meeting between Port Authority director Austin J. Tobin and newly elected New Jersey Governor Richard J. Hughes , the Port Authority offered to take over the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad . The Port Authority also decided to move the World Trade Center project to the Hudson Terminal building site on the west side of Lower Manhattan , a more convenient location for New Jersey commuters arriving via PATH . With the new location and Port Authority acquisition of the H&M Railroad , New Jersey agreed to support the World Trade Center project . As part of the deal , the Port Authority renamed the H&M `` Port Authority Trans - Hudson '' , or PATH for short . In compensation for Radio Row business owners ' displacement , the PANYNJ gave each business $3,000 each , without regard to how long the business had been there or how prosperous the business was . After the area had been purchased for the World Trade Center in March 1964 , Radio Row was demolished starting in March 1965 . It was completely demolished by 1966 . Approval was also needed from New York City Mayor John Lindsay and the New York City Council . Disagreements with the city centered on tax issues . On August 3 , 1966 , an agreement was reached that the Port Authority would make annual payments to the City in lieu of taxes for the portion of the World Trade Center leased to private tenants . In subsequent years , the payments would rise as the real estate tax rate increased . Design and construction Main article : Construction of the World Trade Center Design A typical floor layout and elevator arrangement of the WTC towers . Play media ( video ) The World Trade Center in the 1970s , including scenes of its construction . On September 20 , 1962 , the Port Authority announced the selection of Minoru Yamasaki as lead architect and Emery Roth & Sons as associate architects . Yamasaki devised the plan to incorporate twin towers ; Yamasaki 's original plan called for the towers to be 80 stories tall , but to meet the Port Authority 's requirement for 10,000,000 square feet ( 930,000 m ) of office space , the buildings would each have to be 110 stories tall . Yamasaki 's design for the World Trade Center , unveiled to the public on January 18 , 1964 , called for a square plan approximately 208 feet ( 63 m ) in dimension on each side . The buildings were designed with narrow office windows 18 inches ( 46 cm ) wide , which reflected Yamasaki 's fear of heights as well as his desire to make building occupants feel secure . Yamasaki 's design included building facades sheathed in aluminum - alloy . The World Trade Center was one of the most - striking American implementations of the architectural ethic of Le Corbusier , and it was the seminal expression of Yamasaki 's gothic modernist tendencies . A major limiting factor in building height is the issue of elevators ; the taller the building , the more elevators are needed to service the building , requiring more space - consuming elevator banks . Yamasaki and the engineers decided to use a new system with two `` sky lobbies '' -- floors where people could switch from a large - capacity express elevator to a local elevator that goes to each floor in a section . This system , inspired by the local - express train operation that New York City 's subway system used , allowed the design to stack local elevators within the same elevator shaft . Located on the 44th and 78th floors of each tower , the sky lobbies enabled the elevators to be used efficiently , increasing the amount of usable space on each floor from 62 to 75 percent by reducing the number of elevator shafts . Altogether , the World Trade Center had 95 express and local elevators . The structural engineering firm Worthington , Skilling , Helle & Jackson worked to implement Yamasaki 's design , developing the tube - frame structural system used in the twin towers . The Port Authority 's Engineering Department served as foundation engineers , Joseph R. Loring & Associates as electrical engineers , and Jaros , Baum & Bolles ( JB&B ) as mechanical engineers . Tishman Realty & Construction Company was the general contractor on the World Trade Center project . Guy F. Tozzoli , director of the World Trade Department at the Port Authority , and Rino M. Monti , the Port Authority 's Chief Engineer , oversaw the project . As an interstate agency , the Port Authority was not subject to local laws and regulations of the City of New York , including building codes . Nonetheless , the structural engineers of the World Trade Center ended up following draft versions of the new 1968 building codes . The tube - frame design , earlier introduced by Fazlur Khan , was a new approach that allowed more open floor plans than the traditional design that distributed columns throughout the interior to support building loads . The World Trade Center towers used high - strength , load - bearing perimeter steel columns called Vierendeel trusses that were spaced closely together to form a strong , rigid wall structure , supporting virtually all lateral loads such as wind loads , and sharing the gravity load with the core columns . The perimeter structure containing 59 columns per side was constructed with extensive use of prefabricated modular pieces , each consisting of three columns , three stories tall , connected by spandrel plates . The spandrel plates were welded to the columns to create the modular pieces off - site at the fabrication shop . Adjacent modules were bolted together with the splices occurring at mid-span of the columns and spandrels . The spandrel plates were located at each floor , transmitting shear stress between columns , allowing them to work together in resisting lateral loads . The joints between modules were staggered vertically , so that the column splices between adjacent modules were not at the same floor . The core of the towers housed the elevator and utility shafts , restrooms , three stairwells , and other support spaces . The core of each tower was a rectangular area 87 by 135 feet ( 27 by 41 m ) and contained 47 steel columns running from the bedrock to the top of the tower . The large , column - free space between the perimeter and core was bridged by prefabricated floor trusses . The floors supported their own weight as well as live loads , providing lateral stability to the exterior walls and distributing wind loads among the exterior walls . The floors consisted of 4 inches ( 10 cm ) thick lightweight concrete slabs laid on a fluted steel deck . A grid of lightweight bridging trusses and main trusses supported the floors . The trusses connected to the perimeter at alternate columns and were on 6 foot 8 inch ( 2.03 m ) centers . The top chords of the trusses were bolted to seats welded to the spandrels on the exterior side and a channel welded to the core columns on the interior side . The floors were connected to the perimeter spandrel plates with viscoelastic dampers that helped reduce the amount of sway felt by building occupants . Hat trusses ( or `` outrigger truss '' ) located from the 107th floor to the top of the buildings were designed to support a tall communication antenna on top of each building . Only 1 WTC ( north tower ) actually had an antenna fitted ; it was added in 1978 . The truss system consisted of six trusses along the long axis of the core and four along the short axis . This truss system allowed some load redistribution between the perimeter and core columns and supported the transmission tower . The tube frame design , using steel core and perimeter columns protected with sprayed - on fire resistant material , created a relatively lightweight structure that would sway more in response to the wind compared to traditional structures , such as the Empire State Building that have thick , heavy masonry for fireproofing of steel structural elements . During the design process , wind tunnel tests were done to establish design wind pressures that the World Trade Center towers could be subjected to and structural response to those forces . Experiments also were done to evaluate how much sway occupants could comfortably tolerate ; however , many subjects experienced dizziness and other ill effects . One of the chief engineers Leslie Robertson worked with Canadian engineer Alan G. Davenport to develop viscoelastic dampers to absorb some of the sway . These viscoelastic dampers , used throughout the structures at the joints between floor trusses and perimeter columns along with some other structural modifications , reduced the building sway to an acceptable level . Construction World Trade Center under construction in May 1971 In March 1965 , the Port Authority began acquiring property at the World Trade Center site . Demolition work began on March 21 , 1966 , to clear thirteen square blocks of low rise buildings in Radio Row for construction of the World Trade Center . Groundbreaking for the construction of the World Trade Center took place on August 5 , 1966 . The site of the World Trade Center was located on landfill with the bedrock located 65 feet ( 20 m ) below . To construct the World Trade Center , it was necessary to build a `` bathtub '' with a slurry wall around the West Street side of the site , to keep water from the Hudson River out . The slurry method selected by Port Authority 's chief engineer , John M. Kyle , Jr. , involved digging a trench , and as excavation proceeded , filling the space with a `` slurry '' mixture composed of bentonite and water , which plugged holes and kept groundwater out . When the trench was dug out , a steel cage was inserted and concrete was poured in , forcing the `` slurry '' out . It took fourteen months for the slurry wall to be completed . It was necessary before excavation of material from the interior of the site could begin . The 1,200,000 cubic yards ( 920,000 m ) of material excavated were used ( along with other fill and dredge material ) to expand the Manhattan shoreline across West Street to form Battery Park City . In January 1967 , the Port Authority awarded $74 million in contracts to various steel suppliers . Construction work began on the North Tower in August 1968 , and construction on the South Tower was under way by January 1969 . The original Hudson Tubes , which carried PATH trains into Hudson Terminal , remained in service during the construction process until 1971 , when a new station opened . The topping out ceremony of 1 WTC ( North Tower ) took place on December 23 , 1970 , while 2 WTC 's ceremony ( South Tower ) occurred later on July 19 , 1971 . The first tenants moved into the North Tower on December 15 , 1970 , while the South Tower started accepting tenants in January 1972 . When the World Trade Center twin towers were completed , the total costs to the Port Authority had reached $900 million . The ribbon cutting ceremony was on April 4 , 1973 . In addition to the twin towers , the plan for the World Trade Center complex included four other low - rise buildings , which were built in the early 1970s . The 47 - story 7 World Trade Center building was added in the 1980s , to the north of the main complex . Altogether , the main World Trade Center complex occupied a 16 - acre ( 65,000 m ) superblock . Criticism The WTC site building arrangement Plans to build the World Trade Center were controversial . The site for the World Trade Center was the location of Radio Row , home to hundreds of commercial and industrial tenants , property owners , small businesses , and approximately 100 residents , many of whom fiercely resisted forced relocation . A group of affected small businesses sought an injunction challenging the Port Authority 's power of eminent domain . The case made its way through the court system to the United States Supreme Court ; the Court refused to accept the case . Private real estate developers and members of the Real Estate Board of New York , led by Empire State Building owner Lawrence A. Wien , expressed concerns about this much `` subsidized '' office space going on the open market , competing with the private sector when there was already a glut of vacancies . The World Trade Center itself was not rented out completely until after 1979 and then only due to the fact that the complex 's subsidy by the Port Authority made rents charged for its office space relatively cheaper than that of comparable office space in other buildings . Others questioned whether the Port Authority should have taken on a project described by some as a `` mistaken social priority '' . The World Trade Center design brought criticism of its aesthetics from the American Institute of Architects and other groups . Lewis Mumford , author of The City in History and other works on urban planning , criticized the project and described it and other new skyscrapers as `` just glass - and - metal filing cabinets '' . The Twin Towers were described as looking similar to `` the boxes that the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building came in '' . The twin towers ' narrow office windows , only 18 inches ( 46 cm ) wide and framed by pillars that restricted views on each side to narrow slots , were disliked by many . Activist and sociologist Jane Jacobs also criticized plans for the WTC 's construction , arguing that the waterfront should be kept open for New Yorkers to enjoy . The trade center 's `` superblock '' , replacing a more traditional , dense neighborhood , was regarded by some critics as an inhospitable environment that disrupted the complicated traffic network typical of Manhattan . For example , in his book The Pentagon of Power , Lewis Mumford denounced the center as an `` example of the purposeless giantism and technological exhibitionism that are now eviscerating the living tissue of every great city '' . In 1982 , the immense plaza between the twin towers was renamed after the Port Authority 's late chairman , Austin J. Tobin . During the summer , the Port Authority installed a portable stage within Tobin Plaza for performers . For many years , the Austin J. Tobin Plaza was often beset by brisk winds at ground level owing to the Venturi effect between the two towers . In fact , some gusts were so high that pedestrian travel had to be aided by ropes . In 1999 , the outdoor plaza reopened after undergoing $12 million renovations , which involved replacing marble pavers with gray and pink granite stones , adding new benches , planters , new restaurants , food kiosks and outdoor dining areas . Complex On a typical weekday 50,000 people worked in the towers with another 200,000 passing through as visitors . The complex was so large that it had its own zip code : 10048 . The towers offered expansive views from the observation deck atop the South Tower and the Windows on the World restaurant on top of the North Tower . The Twin Towers became known worldwide , appearing in numerous movies and television shows as well as on postcards and other merchandise , and became seen as a New York icon , in the same league as the Empire State Building , Chrysler Building and the Statue of Liberty . The World Trade Center was compared to Rockefeller Center , which David Rockefeller 's brother Nelson had developed in midtown Manhattan . North and South towers Lobby of Tower 1 , looking south along the east side of the building , August 19 , 2000 . One World Trade Center and Two World Trade Center , commonly the Twin Towers , the idea of which was brought up by Minoru Yamasaki , were designed as framed tube structures , which provided tenants with open floor plans , uninterrupted by columns or walls . They were the main buildings of the World Trade Center . The North Tower ( One World Trade Center ) , the tallest building in the world at 1,368 feet ( 417 m ) by the time of its completion , began construction in 1966 with the South Tower ( 2 World Trade Center ) ; extensive use of prefabricated components helped to speed up the construction process , and the first tenants moved into the North Tower in December 1970 , while it was still under construction . When completed in 1973 , the South Tower , Two World Trade Center ( the South Tower ) became the second tallest building in the world at 1,362 feet ( 415 m ) ; the South Tower 's rooftop observation deck was 1,362 ft ( 415 m ) high and its indoor observation deck was 1,310 ft ( 400 m ) high . Each tower stood over 1,350 feet ( 410 m ) high , and occupied about 1 acre ( 4,000 m ) of the total 16 acres ( 65,000 m ) of the site 's land . During a press conference in 1973 , Yamasaki was asked , `` Why two 110 - story buildings ? Why not one 220 - story building ? '' His tongue - in - cheek response was : `` I did n't want to lose the human scale . '' South Tower lobby interior , overlooking the elevator core and red carpet from the balcony , October 1988 . When completed in 1972 , 1 World Trade Center became the tallest building in the world for two years , surpassing the Empire State Building after a 40 - year reign . The North Tower stood 1,368 feet ( 417 m ) tall and featured a telecommunications antenna or mast that was added at the top of the roof in 1978 and stood 362 feet ( 110 m ) tall . With the 362 - foot ( 110 m ) - tall antenna / mast , the highest point of the North Tower reached 1,730 feet ( 530 m ) . Chicago 's Sears Tower , finished in May 1973 , reached 1,450 feet ( 440 m ) at the rooftop . Throughout their existence , the WTC towers had more floors ( at 110 ) than any other building . This number was not surpassed until the advent of the Burj Khalifa , which opened in 2010 . Each tower had a total mass of around 500,000 tons . Top of the World observation deck Visitors on the viewing platform on the South Tower 's roof , looking north toward Midtown Manhattan Although most of the space in the World Trade Center complex was off - limits to the public , the South Tower featured two public viewing areas called Top of the World Trade Center Observatories : an indoor one on the 107th floor and an outdoor one on the roof . Visitors would pass through security checks added after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing , then were sent to the 107th - floor indoor observatory at a height of 1,310 feet ( 400 m ) . The exterior columns on each side of the floor were narrowed to allow 28 inches of window width between them . The Port Authority renovated the observatory in 1995 , then leased it to Ogden Entertainment to operate . Attractions added to the observation deck included a simulated helicopter ride around the city . The 107th - floor food court was designed with a subway car theme and featured Sbarro and Nathan 's Famous Hot Dogs . Weather permitting , visitors could ride two short escalators up from the 107th - floor viewing area to an outdoor platform at a height of 1,377 ft ( 420 m ) . On a clear day , visitors could see up to 50 miles ( 80 km ) . An anti-suicide fence was placed on the roof itself , with the viewing platform set back and elevated above it , requiring only an ordinary railing and leaving the view unobstructed , unlike the observation deck of the Empire State Building . Windows on the World restaurant Main article : Windows on the World Windows on the World restaurant interior , November 4 , 1999 The North Tower had a restaurant on its 106th and 107th floors called Windows on the World , which opened in April 1976 . The restaurant was developed by Joe Baum at a cost of more than $17 million . Aside from the main restaurant , two offshoots were located at the top of the North Tower : `` Hors d'Oeuvrerie '' ( offered a Danish smorgasbord during the day and sushi in the evening ) and `` Cellar in the Sky '' ( a small wine bar ) . Windows on the World also had a wine school program run by Kevin Zraly , who published a book on the course . Windows on the World was closed following the 1993 World Trade Center bombing . Upon reopening in 1996 , Hors d'Oeuvrerie and Cellar in the Sky were replaced with the `` Greatest Bar on Earth '' and `` Wild Blue '' . In 2000 , its last full year of operation , Windows on the World reported revenues of $37 million , making it the highest - grossing restaurant in the United States . The Sky Dive Restaurant , on the 44th floor of the North Tower , was also operated by Windows on the World . In its last iteration , Windows on the World received mixed reviews . Ruth Reichl , a New York Times food critic , said in December 1996 that `` nobody will ever go to Windows on the World just to eat , but even the fussiest food person can now be content dining at one of New York 's favorite tourist destinations . '' She gave the restaurant two out of four stars , signifying a `` very good '' quality rather than `` excellent '' ( three stars ) or `` extraordinary '' ( four stars ) . In his 2009 book Appetite , William Grimes wrote that `` At Windows , New York was the main course . '' In 2014 , Ryan Sutton of Eater.com compared the now - destroyed restaurant 's cuisine to that of its replacement , One World Observatory . He stated , `` Windows helped usher in a new era of captive audience dining in that the restaurant was a destination in itself , rather than a lazy byproduct of the vital institution it resided in . '' Other buildings The World Financial Center and Battery Park City , next to the World Trade Center , were built on reclaimed land . Five smaller buildings stood around the 16 acres ( 65,000 m ) block . One was the 22 - floor hotel , which opened at the southwest corner of the site in 1981 as the Vista Hotel ; in 1995 , it became the Marriott World Trade Center ( 3 WTC ) . Three low - rise buildings ( 4 WTC , 5 WTC , and 6 WTC ) in the same hollow tube design as the towers also stood around the plaza. 6 World Trade Center , at the northwest corner , housed the United States Customs Service and the U.S. Commodities Exchange . 5 World Trade Center was located at the northeast corner above the PATH station and 4 World Trade Center was at the southeast corner . In 1987 , construction was completed on a 47 - floor office building , 7 World Trade Center , located to the north of the superblock . Beneath the World Trade Center complex was an underground shopping mall , which in turn had connections to various mass transit facilities , including the New York City Subway system and the Port Authority 's PATH trains . One of the world 's largest gold depositories was stored underneath the World Trade Center , owned by a group of commercial banks . The 1993 bombing detonated close to the vault . Seven weeks after the September 11 attacks , $230 million in precious metals was removed from basement vaults of 4 WTC , which included 3,800 100 - Troy - ounce 24 carat gold bars and 30,000 1,000 - ounce silver bars . Operating History February 13 , 1975 , fire On February 13 , 1975 , a three - alarm fire broke out on the 11th floor of the North Tower . Fire spread through the tower to the 9th and 14th floors by igniting the insulation of telephone cables in a utility shaft that ran vertically between floors . Areas at the furthest extent of the fire were extinguished almost immediately and the original fire was put out in a few hours . Most of the damage was concentrated on the 11th floor , fueled by cabinets filled with paper , alcohol - based fluid for office machines , and other office equipment . Fireproofing protected the steel and there was no structural damage to the tower . In addition to damage caused by the fire on the 9th -- 14th floors , water from the extinguishing of the fires damaged a few floors below . At that time , the World Trade Center had no fire sprinkler systems . February 26 , 1993 , bombing Main article : 1993 World Trade Center bombing Underground bombing aftermath The first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center occurred on February 26 , 1993 , at 12 : 17 p.m. A Ryder truck filled with 1,500 pounds ( 680 kg ) of explosives , planted by Ramzi Yousef , detonated in the underground garage of the North Tower . The blast opened a 100 - foot ( 30 m ) hole through five sublevels with the greatest damage occurring on levels B1 and B2 and significant structural damage on level B3 . Six people were killed and 1,042 others were injured during escape attempts complicated by smoke infiltration from the base of the building up to the 93rd floor of both towers . Many people inside the North Tower were forced to walk down darkened stairwells that contained no emergency lighting , some taking two hours or more to reach safety . Yousef fled to Pakistan after the bombing but was arrested in Islamabad in February 1995 , and was extradited back to the United States to face trial . Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman was convicted in 1996 for involvement in the bombing and other plots . Yousef and Eyad Ismoil were convicted in November 1997 for their carrying out the bombing . Four others had been convicted in May 1994 for their involvement in the 1993 bombing . According to a presiding judge , the conspirators ' chief aim at the time of the attack was to destabilize the north tower and send it crashing into the south tower , toppling both landmarks . Following the bombing , floors that were blown out needed to be repaired to restore the structural support they provided to columns . The slurry wall was in peril following the bombing and loss of the floor slabs that provided lateral support against pressure from Hudson River water on the other side . The refrigeration plant on sublevel B5 , which provided air conditioning to the entire World Trade Center complex , was heavily damaged . After the bombing , the Port Authority installed photoluminescent markings in the stairwells . The fire alarm system for the entire complex needed to be replaced because critical wiring and signaling in the original system was destroyed . As a memorial to the victims of the bombing of the tower , a reflecting pool was installed with the names of those who had been killed in the blast . However , the memorial was destroyed following the September 11 attacks . Names of the victims of the 1993 bombing are included in the National September 11 Memorial & Museum . January 14 , 1998 , robbery Main article : 1998 Bank of America robbery In January 1998 , Mafia member Ralph Guarino , who had gained maintenance access to the World Trade Center , arranged a three - man crew for a heist that netted over $2 million from a Brinks delivery to the eleventh floor of the World Trade Center . Other events In 1981 , an Aerolineas Argentinas airliner was guided away by air traffic controllers following radar signals that indicated it was on a collision course with the North Tower ( 1 WTC ) . The aircraft was flying at a much lower altitude than regulations recommended , while scheduled to land at nearby Kennedy International Airport . In 1983 , on Memorial Day , high - rise firefighting and rescue advocate Dan Goodwin successfully climbed the outside of the North Tower ( 1 WTC ) . His stunt was meant to call attention to the inability to rescue people potentially trapped in the upper floors of skyscrapers . The 1995 PCA world chess championship was played on the 107th floor of the South Tower . Proposed lease In 1998 , the Port Authority approved plans to privatize the World Trade Center . In 2001 , the Port Authority sought to lease the World Trade Center to a private entity . Bids for the lease came from Vornado Realty Trust , a joint bid between Brookfield Properties Corporation and Boston Properties , and a joint bid by Silverstein Properties and The Westfield Group . By privatizing the World Trade Center , it would be added to the city 's tax rolls and provide funds for other Port Authority projects . On February 15 , 2001 , the Port Authority announced that Vornado Realty Trust had won the lease for the World Trade Center , paying $3.25 billion for the 99 - year lease . Vornado outbid Silverstein by $600 million though Silverstein upped his offer to $3.22 billion . However , Vornado insisted on last minute changes to the deal , including a shorter 39 - year lease , which the Port Authority considered nonnegotiable . Vornado later withdrew and Silverstein 's bid for the lease to the World Trade Center was accepted on April 26 , 2001 , and closed on July 24 , 2001 . Destruction Main article : Collapse of the World Trade Center The scene just after United Airlines Flight 175 hits the South Tower ; a fireball rises high . On September 11 , 2001 , Islamist terrorists hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 and crashed it into the northern façade of the North Tower at 8 : 46 : 40 a.m. , the aircraft striking between the 93rd and 99th floors . Seventeen minutes later , at 9 : 03 : 11 a.m. , a second group crashed the similarly hijacked United Airlines Flight 175 into the southern façade of the South Tower , striking it between the 77th and 85th floors . The damage caused to the North Tower by Flight 11 destroyed any means of escape from above the impact zone , trapping 1,344 people . Flight 175 had a much more off - centered impact compared to Flight 11 , and a single stairwell was left intact ; however , only a few people managed to pass through it successfully before the tower collapsed . Although the South Tower was struck lower than the North Tower , thus affecting more floors , a smaller number , fewer than 700 , were killed instantly or trapped . At 9 : 59 a.m. , the South Tower collapsed after burning for approximately 56 minutes . The fire caused steel structural elements , already weakened from the plane impact , to fail . The North Tower collapsed at 10 : 28 a.m. , after burning for approximately 102 minutes . At 5 : 20 p.m. on September 11 , 2001 , 7 World Trade Center started to collapse with the crumble of the east penthouse , and it collapsed completely at 5 : 21 p.m. owing to uncontrolled fires causing structural failure . World Trade Center site after 9 / 11 attacks , seen from above with original building locations The Marriott World Trade Center , a hotel , was destroyed during the collapse of the two towers . The three remaining buildings in the WTC plaza were extensively damaged by debris and later were demolished . The cleanup and recovery process at the World Trade Center site took eight months . The Deutsche Bank Building across Liberty Street from the World Trade Center complex was later condemned owing to the uninhabitable toxic conditions inside ; it was deconstructed , with work completed in early 2011 . The Borough of Manhattan Community College 's Fiterman Hall at 30 West Broadway was also condemned owing to extensive damage , and it was demolished and completely rebuilt . In the immediate aftermath of the attacks , media reports suggested that tens of thousands might have been killed in the attacks , as over 50,000 people could be inside the World Trade Center , although the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) estimated that approximately 17,400 occupants were in the towers at the time of the attacks . Ultimately , 2,753 death certificates ( excluding those for hijackers ) were filed relating to the 9 / 11 attacks in New York City , including one filed for Felicia Dunn - Jones , who was added to the official death toll in May 2007 ; Dunn - Jones died five months later from a lung condition linked to exposure to dust during the collapse of the World Trade Center . Three other victims were then added to the official death toll by the city medical examiner 's office : Dr. Sneha Anne Philip , who was last seen the day before the attacks ; Leon Heyward , a man who developed lymphoma and subsequently died in 2008 as a result of dust ingestion during the events following the attacks to the Twin Towers ; and Jerry Borg , who died in December 2010 of pulmonary sarcoidosis determined in June 2011 to be the result of dust from the attacks . 2,192 civilians died in and around the World Trade Center , including 658 employees of Cantor Fitzgerald L.P. ( an investment bank on the 101st -- 105th floors of One World Trade Center ) , 295 employees of Marsh & McLennan Companies ( which was located immediately below Cantor Fitzgerald on floors 93 -- 101 , the location of Flight 11 's impact ) , and 175 employees of Aon Corporation . In addition to the civilian deaths , 343 New York City Fire Department ( FDNY ) firefighters were killed in the attacks , as well as 71 law enforcement officers , including 37 members of the Port Authority Police Department ( PAPD ) and 23 members of the New York City Police Department ( NYPD ) . Ten years after the attacks , remains of only 1,629 victims had been identified . Of all the people who were still in the towers when they collapsed , only 20 were pulled out alive . New World Trade Center Main article : World Trade Center ( 2001 -- present ) Rebuilding of the World Trade Center One WTC Construction In popular culture 2 -- 7 WTC 5 7 Other elements Liberty Park National September 11 Memorial & Museum Performing Arts Center Transportation Hub Vehicular Security Center Westfield World Trade Center St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church Over the following years , plans were created for the reconstruction of the World Trade Center . The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation ( LMDC ) , established in November 2001 to oversee the rebuilding process , organized competitions to select a site plan and memorial design . Memory Foundations , designed by Daniel Libeskind , was selected as the master plan ; however , substantial changes were made to the design . The National September 11 Memorial . The reflecting pools are on the site of the Twin Towers . The first new building at the site was 7 WTC , which opened in May 2006 . The memorial section of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum opened on September 11 , 2011 , and the museum opened in May 2014 . 1 WTC opened on November 3 , 2014 ; 4 WTC opened on November 13 , 2013 ; and 3 WTC opened on June 11 , 2018 . As of November 2013 , according to an agreement made with Silverstein Properties Inc. , the new 2 WTC will not be built to its full height until sufficient leasing is established to make the building financially viable . In Summer 2015 , Silverstein Properties revealed plans for a redesigned Tower 2 with News Corp as the core tenant ; the Bjarke Ingels - designed structure was expected to be finished by 2020 . 5 WTC will be developed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey , but above - ground construction was suspended in November 2013 due to a lack of tenants as well as disputes between the Port Authority and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation . Impact On surrounding community The original World Trade Center created a superblock that cut through the area 's street grid , isolating the complex from the rest of the community . The Port Authority had demolished several streets to make way for the towers within the World Trade Center . The project involved combining the twelve - block area bounded by Vesey , Church , Liberty , and West Streets on the north , east , south , and west , respectively . 7 World Trade Center , built on the superblock 's north side in the late 1980s , was built over another block of Greenwich Street . The building acted as a physical barrier separating Tribeca to the north and the Financial District to the south . The underground mall at the World Trade Center also drew shoppers away from surrounding streets . The World Trade Center , as seen from a nearby street in 2000 . The project was seen as being monolithic and overambitious , while not involving public input . By contrast , the rebuilding plans had significant public input , and the public supported rebuilding a street grid through the World Trade Center site . One of the rebuilding proposals included building an enclosed shopping street along the path of Cortlandt Street , one of the streets demolished to make room for the original World Trade Center . However , it was ultimately decided to build Cortlandt , Fulton , and Greenwich Streets , which had been destroyed during the original World Trade Center 's construction . As icon of popular culture Main article : World Trade Center in popular culture Prior to 2001 , the World Trade Center was an icon of New York City , and the Twin Towers were the centerpiece that represented the entire complex . The Twin Towers were used as `` establishing shots '' , standing for New York City as a whole . In 1999 , one writer noted : `` Nearly every guidebook in New York City lists the Twin Towers among the city 's top ten attractions . '' Consequently , several high - profile events that occurred at the World Trade Center . The most notable one occurred in 1974 , French high wire acrobatic performer Philippe Petit walked between the towers on a tightrope , as shown in the documentary film Man on Wire ( 2008 ) and depicted in the feature film The Walk ( 2015 ) . Petit walked between the towers eight times on a steel cable . In 1977 , Brooklyn toymaker George Willig scaled the exterior of the South Tower ( 2 WTC ) . He later said , `` It looked unscalable ; I thought I 'd like to try it . '' The complex was featured in numerous works of popular culture ; one estimate in 2006 noted that the World Trade Center has appeared in some form in 472 films . Several iconic meanings were attributed to the World Trade Center . The film critic David Sterritt , who lived near the complex , stated that the World Trade Center 's appearance in the 1978 film Superman `` summarized a certain kind of American grandeur ( ... ) the grandeur , I would say , of sheer American powerfulness . '' Remarking on the towers ' destruction in the 1996 film Independence Day , Sterritt said , `` The Twin Towers have been destroyed in various disaster movies that were made before 9 / 11 . That became something that you could n't do even retroactively after 9 / 11 . '' Other motifs included romance , depicted in the 1988 film Working Girl , and corporate avarice , depicted in Wall Street ( 1987 ) and The Bonfire of the Vanities ( 1987 ) . Comic books , animated cartoons , television shows , video games , and music videos also used the complex as a setting . After the September 11 attacks , some movies and TV shows deleted scenes or episodes set within the World Trade Center . For example , the Simpsons episode `` The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson '' , which first aired in 1997 , was removed from syndication after the attacks because a scene showed the World Trade Center . Songs that mentioned the World Trade Center were no longer allowed to be aired on the radio , and the release dates of some films , such as Sidewalks of New York , were delayed so producers could remove scenes that included the World Trade Center . Other episodes and films mentioned the attacks directly , or depicted the World Trade Center in alternate contexts . The production of some family - oriented films was also sped up due to a large demand for that genre following the attacks , while demand for horror and action films decreased . Within a short time , however , demand for horror and action films returned to normal . By the first anniversary of the attacks , over sixty `` memorial films '' had been created . Filmmakers were criticized for removing scenes related to the World Trade Center . Rita Kempley of the Washington Post stated that `` if we erase the towers from our art , we erase it ( sic ) from our memories . '' Author Donald Langmead compared the phenomenon to the 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty - Four , where historic mentions of events are retroactively `` rectified '' . Oliver Stone 's film World Trade Center -- the first movie that specifically examined the effects of the attacks on the World Trade Center , as opposed to the effects elsewhere -- was released in 2006 .

"The original World Trade Center was a large complex of seven buildings in Lower Manhattan, New York City, United States. It featured the landmark Twin Towers, which opened on April 4, 1973 and were destroyed in 2001 during the September 11 attacks. At the time of their completion, the Twin Towers — the original 1 World Trade Center, at 1,368 feet (417 m); and 2 World Trade Center, at 1,362 feet (415.1 m) — were the tallest buildings in the world. Other buildings in the complex included the Marriott World Trade Center (3 WTC), 4 WTC, 5 WTC, 6 WTC, and 7 WTC. The complex was located in New York City's Financial District and contained 13,400,000 square feet (1,240,000 m2) of office space.[4][5]\n"

The main combatants were the Canadian Corps , of four divisions , against three divisions of the German Sixth Army . The battle , which took place from 9 to 12 April 1917 , was part of the opening phase of the British - led Battle of Arras , a diversionary attack for the French Nivelle Offensive . The objective of the Canadian Corps was to take control of the German - held high ground along an escarpment at the northernmost end of the Arras Offensive . This would ensure that the southern flank could advance without suffering German enfilade fire . Supported by a creeping barrage , the Canadian Corps captured most of the ridge during the first day of the attack . The village of Thélus fell during the second day of the attack , as did the crest of the ridge , once the Canadian Corps overcame a salient against considerable German resistance . The final objective , a fortified knoll located outside the village of Givenchy - en - Gohelle , fell to the Canadian Corps on 12 April . The German forces then retreated to the Oppy -- Méricourt line . Historians attribute the success of the Canadian Corps in capturing the ridge to a mixture of technical and tactical innovation , meticulous planning , powerful artillery support and extensive training , as well as the failure of the German Sixth Army to properly apply the new German defensive doctrine . The battle was the first occasion when all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force participated in a battle together and it was made a symbol of Canadian national achievement and sacrifice . A 100 - hectare ( 250 - acre ) portion of the former battleground serves as a memorial park and site of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial .

The ridge rises gradually on its western side and drops more quickly on the eastern side . At approximately 7 km ( 4.3 mi ) in length and culminating at an elevation of 145 m ( 476 ft ) or 60 m ( 200 ft ) above the Douai Plains , the ridge provides a natural unobstructed view for tens of kilometres in all directions . The ridge fell under German control in October 1914 during the Race to the Sea as the Franco - British and German forces continually attempted to outflank each other through northeastern France . The French Tenth Army attempted to dislodge the Germans from the region during the Second Battle of Artois in May 1915 by attacking their positions at Vimy Ridge and Notre Dame de Lorette . The French 1st Moroccan Division managed to briefly capture the height of the ridge but was unable to hold it owing to a lack of reinforcements . The French made another attempt during the Third Battle of Artois in September 1915 but only captured the village of Souchez at the western base of the ridge . The Vimy sector calmed following the offensive with both sides taking a largely live and let live approach . In all , the French suffered approximately 150,000 casualties in their attempts to gain control of Vimy Ridge and surrounding territory . The British XVII Corps , commanded by Lieutenant - General Sir Julian Byng , relieved the French Tenth Army in the sector in February 1916 , permitting the French to expand their operations at Verdun . The British soon discovered that German tunnelling companies had taken advantage of the relative calm on the surface to build an extensive network of tunnels and deep mines from which they would attack French positions by setting off explosive charges underneath their trenches . The Royal Engineers immediately deployed specialist tunnelling companies along the front to combat the German mining operations . In response to increased British mining aggression , German artillery and trench mortar fire intensified in early May 1916 . On 21 May 1916 , after shelling both forward trenches and divisional artillery positions from no less than 80 out - of - sight batteries on the reverse slope of the ridge , the German infantry began operation Schleswig Holstein , an attack on the British lines along a 1,800 - metre ( 2,000 yd ) front in an effort to eject them from positions along the ridge . The Germans captured several British - controlled tunnels and mine craters before halting their advance and entrenching their positions . Small counterattacks by units of the 140th and 141st British Brigades took place on 22 May but did not manage to change the situation . The Canadian Corps relieved the British IV Corps stationed along the western slopes of Vimy Ridge in October 1916 . Prelude ( edit ) Strategic planning ( edit ) Byng during the battle On 28 May 1916 , Byng took command of the Canadian Corps from Lieutenant - General Sir Edwin Alderson . Formal discussions for a spring offensive near Arras began following a conference of corps commanders held at British First Army Headquarters on 21 November 1916 . In March 1917 , British First Army headquarters formally presented Byng with orders outlining Vimy Ridge as the corps 's objective for the Arras Offensive . A formal assault plan , adopted in early March 1917 , drew heavily on the briefings of staff officers sent to learn from the experiences of the French Army during the Battle of Verdun . For the first time all four Canadian divisions were assembled to participate in a battle . The nature and size of the planned Canadian Corps assault necessitated support and resources beyond its normal operational capabilities . Consequently , the British 5th Infantry Division and supplementary artillery , engineer and labour units reinforced the four Canadian divisions . This brought the nominal strength of the Canadian Corps to about 170,000 men , of whom 97,184 were Canadian . Tactical plan ( edit ) In January 1917 , three Canadian Corps officers accompanied other British and Dominion officers attending a series of lectures hosted by the French Army regarding their experiences during the Battle of Verdun . The French counter offensive devised by General Robert Nivelle had been one of a number of Allied successes of 1916 . Following extensive rehearsal , eight French divisions had assaulted German positions in two waves along a 9.7 - kilometre ( 6 mi ) front . Supported by extremely strong artillery , the French had recovered lost ground and inflicted heavy casualties on five German divisions . The Canadian Corps plan of attack outlining the four coloured objective lines -- Black , Red , Blue and Brown On their return from the lectures , the Canadian Corps staff officers produced a tactical analysis of the Verdun battles and delivered a series of corps and divisional - level lectures to promote the primacy of artillery and stress the importance of harassing fire and company and platoon flexibility . The report of 1st Canadian Division commander Arthur Currie highlighted the lessons he believed the Canadian Corps could learn from the experiences of the French . The final plan for the assault on Vimy Ridge drew heavily on the experience and tactical analysis of the officers who attended the Verdun lectures . British First Army commander General Henry Horne approved the plan on 5 March 1917 . The plan divided the Canadian Corps advance into four coloured objective lines . The attack would be made on a front of 6,400 m ( 7,000 yd ) , with its centre opposite the village of Vimy , to the east of the ridge . The first objective , represented by the Black Line , was to seize the German forward defensive line . The final objective of the northern flank was the Red Line : taking the highest point on the ridge , the fortified knoll known as the Pimple , the Folie Farm , the Zwischen - Stellung trench and the hamlet of Les Tilleuls . The southern two divisions were to achieve two additional objectives : the Blue Line encompassing the village of Thélus and the woods outside the village of Vimy and the Brown Line , which aimed at capturing the Zwölfer - Graben trench and the German second line . The infantry would proceed close behind a creeping barrage placed down by light field guns , advancing in timed 90 - metre ( 100 yd ) increments . The medium and heavy howitzers would establish a series of standing barrages further ahead of the infantry against known defensive systems . The plan called for units to leapfrog over one another , as the advance progressed , to maintain momentum during the attack . The initial wave would capture and consolidate the Black Line and then push forward to the Red Line . The barrage would pause , to enable reserve units to move up and then move forward with the units pushing beyond the Red Line to the Blue Line . Once the corps secured the Blue Line , advancing units would once again leapfrog established ones and capture the Brown Line . Conducted properly , the plan would leave the German forces little time to exit the security of their deep dugouts and defend their positions against the infantry advance . If the corps maintained its schedule , the troops would advance as much as 3,700 m ( 4,000 yd ) and have the majority of the ridge under control by 1 : 00 pm of the first day . German defences ( edit ) German dispositions at Vimy Ridge on the first day of the battle The experience of the Battle of the Somme led the German command to conclude that the policy of rigidly defending a trench position line was no longer effective against the firepower that the Entente armies had accumulated . Ludendorff published a new defensive doctrine in December 1916 , in which deeper defences were to be built , within which the garrison would have room to manoeuvre , rather than rigidly holding successive lines of trenches . Along Vimy Ridge , the German forces spent two years constructing fortifications designed for rigid defence . Little reconstruction based upon the new defence - in - depth doctrine had been accomplished by April 1917 because the terrain made it impractical . The topography of the Vimy battlefield made defence - in - depth difficult to realize . The ridge was 700 metres ( 2,300 ft ) wide at its narrowest point , with a steep drop on the eastern side , all but eliminating the possibility of counterattacks if the ridge was captured . The Germans were apprehensive about the inherent weakness of the Vimy Ridge defences . The German defensive scheme was to maintain a front line defence of sufficient strength to defend against an initial assault and move operational reserves forward , before the enemy could consolidate their gains or overrun remaining German positions . As a result , the German defence at Vimy Ridge relied largely on machine guns , which acted as force multipliers for the defending infantry . Three line divisions , with seven infantry regiments between them , were responsible for the immediate defence of the ridge . The paper strength of each division was approximately 15,000 men but their actual strengths was significantly fewer . In 1917 , a full - strength German rifle company consisted of 264 men ; at Vimy Ridge , each rifle company contained approximately 150 men . Each German regiment held a zone approximately 1,000 metres ( 1,100 yd ) wide as far back as the rear area . When the Canadian Corps attacked , each German company faced two or more battalions of approximately 1,000 men each . Reserve divisions were kept approximately 24 kilometres ( 15 mi ) back instead of assembling close behind the second line according the defence - in - depth theory . Artillery ( edit ) Map showing rolling artillery barrage for advance The Canadian Corps ' divisional artillery formations , totalling eight field artillery brigades and two heavy artillery groups , were insufficient for the task at hand and were consequently reinforced with outside formations . Four heavy artillery groups , nine field artillery brigades , three divisional artillery groups and the artillery complement of the British 5th Division was attached to the Canadian Corps . In addition , ten heavy artillery groups of the flanking I and XVII Corps were assigned tasks in support of the Canadian Corps . The artillery batteries of I Corps were particularly important because they enfiladed German gun positions behind Vimy Ridge . In total , the British made available to the Canadian Corps twenty - four brigade artillery groups consisting of four hundred and eighty 18 pounder field guns , one hundred thirty - eight 4.5 inch howitzers , ninety - six 2 inch trench mortars , twenty - four 9.45 inch mortars , supported by 245 corps - level siege guns and heavy mortars . This firepower gave a density of one heavy gun for every 20 metres ( 20 yd ) and one field gun for every 10 metres ( 10 yd ) of Canadian Corps frontage , representing a considerable average increase , including three times the heavy guns , over the distribution of artillery at the Battle of the Somme a year earlier . Brigadier - General Edward Morrison developed and subsequently issued a 35 - page multi-phased fire support plan called Canadian Corps Artillery Instruction No. 1 for the Capture of Vimy Ridge to support the efforts of the infantry . For its operations , the Canadian Corps received three times the artillery normally assigned to a corps for regular operations . To manage the logistics associated with the increased artillery , Royal Artillery staff officer Major Alan Brooke developed coordinated communication and transport plans to work in conjunction with the complex barrage plans . A 1.6 million shell allotment allowed the artillery along the Canadian Corps front to maintain a high sustained rate of fire . Improvements in the quality of the shells compared to those used earlier in the war ensured fewer duds . The introduction of the instantaneous No. 106 fuze greatly improved the effectiveness of the artillery since this fuse burst reliably with the slightest of contact , unlike older timed fuses , making it especially effective at cutting barbed wire before the advance . To maintain communications during the battle , particularly with the artillery , field units laid over 1,400 kilometres ( 870 mi ) of telegraph and field telephone cabling , normally at a depth of 2 metres ( 7 ft ) . In addition , the corps conducted coordinated counter-battery initiatives before the battle . The First Army Field Survey Company printed barrage maps for all batteries , produced artillery boards and provided counter-battery support with their flash spotting groups and sound ranging sections . Utilizing flash spotting , sound ranging and aerial reconnaissance from No. 16 Squadron and No. 1 & 2 Balloon Company of the Royal Flying Corps in the week before the battle , the counter battery artillery under command of Lieutenant - Colonel Andrew McNaughton fired 125,900 shells , harassing an estimated 83 % of the German gun positions . Training ( edit ) Large model of German trench lines In February 1917 , the British General Staff released a training pamphlet titled SS 143 Instructions for the Training of Platoons for Offensive Action , espousing the return to the pre-war emphasis on fire and movement tactics and the use of the platoon as a self - contained tactical unit . The short pamphlet noted the importance of dedicated hand grenade , rifle grenade and machine gun sections in suppressing enemy strong points with an appropriate level of fire to permit other military units to advance . Coupled with the observations and suggestions made by Currie in the report he submitted in January 1917 following the Verdun lectures , the Canadian Corps instilled the tactical change with vigour . The corps instilled the tactical doctrine for small units by assigning objectives down to the platoon level . Assaulting infantry battalions used hills behind the lines as full - scale model representations of the battlefield . Taped lines demarcated German trench lines while officers on horseback carried flags to represent the advancing front of the artillery barrage . Recognizing that the men in leadership positions were likely to be wounded or killed , soldiers learned the jobs of those beside and above them . At the British First Army headquarters , a large - scale plasticine model of the Vimy sector was constructed and used to show commissioned and senior non-commissioned officers the topographical features of the battlefield and details of the German trench system . In addition , upwards of 40,000 topographical trench maps were printed and distributed to ensure that even platoon sergeants and section commanders possessed a wider awareness of the battlefield . These measures gave each platoon a clearer picture of how it fitted into the greater battle plan and in so doing , reduced the command and control problems that plagued First World War combat . Underground operations ( edit ) British - dug fighting tunnel in Vimy sector Operations along the Vimy Ridge were accompanied by extensive underground excavations . The Arras -- Vimy sector was conducive to tunnelling owing to the soft , porous yet extremely stable nature of the chalk underground . Underground warfare had been conducted on the Vimy sector since 1915 . Bavarian engineers had blown twenty mines in the sector by March 1915 . By early 1916 , German miners had gained an advantage over their French counterparts . British tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers took over progressively from the French between February and May 1916 . On their arrival , the British began offensive mining against German miners , first stopping the German underground advance and then developing a defensive strategy that prevented the Germans from gaining a tactical advantage by mining . From spring 1916 , the British had deployed five tunnelling companies along the Vimy Ridge and during the first two months of their tenure of the area , 70 mines were fired , mostly by the Germans . Between October 1915 and April 1917 an estimated 150 French , British and German charges were fired in this 7 kilometres ( 4.3 mi ) sector of the Western Front . In May 1916 , Operation Schleswig - Holstein , a German infantry attack , forced the British back 640 metres ( 700 yd ) , to stop British mining by capturing the shaft entrances . From June 1916 , the Germans withdrew many miners to work in coal mines in Germany . In the second half of 1916 , the British constructed strong defensive underground positions and from August 1916 , the Royal Engineers developed a mining scheme for a big infantry attack on the Vimy Ridge proposed for autumn 1916 , although this was postponed . After September 1916 , when the Royal Engineers had completed their network of defensive galleries along most of the front line , offensive mining largely ceased although activities continued until 1917 . The British gallery network beneath Vimy Ridge eventually grew to a length of 12 kilometres ( 7.5 mi ) . The Canadian Corps was posted to the northern part of Vimy Ridge in October 1916 and preparations for an attack were revived in February 1917 . British tunnelling companies created extensive underground networks and fortifications . Twelve subways , up to 1.2 kilometres ( 0.75 mi ) long were excavated at a depth of 10 metres ( 33 ft ) and used to connect reserve lines to front lines , permitting soldiers to advance to the front quickly , securely and unseen . Often incorporated into subways were light rail lines , hospitals , command posts , water reservoirs , ammunition stores , mortar and machine gun posts and communication centres . The Germans dug a number of similar tunnels on the Vimy front , to provide covered routes to the front line and protection for headquarters , resting personnel , equipment and ammunition . The Germans also conducted counter-mining against the British tunnellers and destroyed a number of British attempts to plant mines under or near their lines . Prior to the Battle of Vimy Ridge , the British tunnelling companies also secretly laid 13 mines under German positions to destroy surface fortifications before the assault . To protect some advancing troops from German machine - gun fire , as they crossed no man 's land during the attack , eight smaller Wombat charges were laid at the end of the subways , to allow troops to move more quickly and safely enter the German trench system , by creating an elongated trench - depth crater that spanned the length of no man 's land . At the same time , 19 crater groups existed along this section of the Western Front , each with several large craters . To assess the consequences of infantry having to advance across cratered ground after a mining attack , officers from the Canadian Corps visited La Boisselle and Fricourt where the mines had been blown on the First day of the Somme . Their reports and the experience of the Canadians at The Actions of St Eloi Craters in April 1916 , where mines had so altered and damaged the landscape as to render occupation of the mine craters by the infantry all but impossible , led to the decision to remove offensive mining from the central sector allocated to the Canadian Corps at Vimy Ridge . Further British mines in the area were vetoed following the blowing by the Germans on 23 March 1917 of nine craters along no man 's land as it was probable that the Germans were aiming to restrict an Allied attack to predictable points . The three mines already laid by 172nd Tunnelling Company were also dropped from the British plans . They were left in place after the assault and were only removed in the 1990s . Another mine , prepared by 176th Tunnelling Company against the German strongpoint known as the Pimple , was not completed in time for the attack . The gallery had been pushed silently through the clay , avoiding the sandy and chalky layers of the Vimy Ridge but by 9 April 1917 was still 21 metres ( 70 ft ) short of its target . In the end , two mines were blown before the attack , while three mines and two Wombat charges were fired to support the attack , including those forming a northern flank . Trench raiding ( edit ) For more details on this topic , see Trench raiding . Trench raiding involved making small - scale surprise attacks on enemy positions , often in the middle of the night for reasons of stealth . All belligerents employed trench raiding as a tactic to harass their enemy and gain intelligence . In the Canadian Corps trench raiding developed into a training and leadership - building mechanism . The size of a raid would normally be anything from a few men to an entire company , or more , depending on the size of the mission . The four months before the April attack saw the Canadian Corps execute no fewer than 55 separate trench raids . Competition between units even developed with units competing for the honour of the greatest number of prisoners captured or most destruction wrought . The policy of aggressive trench raiding was not without its cost . A large - scale trench raid on 13 February 1917 , involving 900 men from the 4th Canadian Division , resulted in 150 casualties . An even more ambitious trench raid on 1 March 1917 , once again by the 4th Canadian Division , failed and resulted in 637 casualties including two battalion commanders and a number of company commanders killed . This experience did not lessen the extent to which the Canadian Corps employed trench raiding with raids being conducted nightly between 20 March and the opening of the offensive on 9 April , resulting in approximately 1,400 additional Canadian casualties . The Germans operated an active patrolling policy and although not as large and ambitious as those of the Canadian Corps , they also engaged in trench raiding . As an example , a German trench raid launched by 79 men against the 3rd Canadian Division on 15 March 1917 was successful in capturing prisoners and causing damage . Battle in the air ( edit ) See also : Royal Flying Corps and Luftstreitkräfte An observer of the Royal Flying Corps in a photographic reconnaissance aircraft , showing the camera . The Royal Flying Corps launched a determined effort to gain air superiority over the battlefield in support of the spring offensive . The Canadians considered activities such as artillery - observation and photography of opposing trench systems , troop movements and gun emplacements essential to continue their offensive . The Royal Flying Corps deployed 25 squadrons totalling 365 aircraft along the Arras sector , outnumbering the Luftstreitkräfte ( Imperial German Air Service ) by 2 - to - 1 . Byng was given use of No. 2 Squadron , No. 8 ( Naval ) Squadron , No. 25 Squadron , No. 40 Squadron and No. 43 Squadron , with No. 16 Squadron permanently attached to the Canadian Corps and employed exclusively for reconnaissance and artillery - observation . Aerial reconnaissance was often a hazardous task because of the necessity of flying at slow speeds and at low altitude . The task was made all the more dangerous with the arrival of additional German flying squadrons , including Manfred von Richthofen 's highly experienced and well equipped Jasta 11 , which led to a sharp increase in RFC losses . Although significantly outnumbering the Germans , the RFC lost 131 aircraft during the first week of April ( Bloody April ) . Despite the losses suffered by the RFC , the Luftstreitkräfte failed to prevent the British from carrying out its priority , air support of the army during the Battle of Arras with up - to - date aerial photographs and other reconnaissance information . Battle ( edit ) Belligerents ( edit ) See also : Battle of Vimy Ridge order of battle German Sixth Army commander General Ludwig von Falkenhausen was responsible for the Cambrai -- Lille sector and commanded 20 divisions , plus reserves . Vimy Ridge itself was principally defended by the ad hoc Gruppe Vimy formation based under I Bavarian Reserve Corps commander General der Infanterie Karl von Fasbender . However , a division of Gruppe Souchez , under VIII Reserve Corps General of the Infantry Georg Karl Wichura , was involved in the frontline defence along the northernmost portion of the ridge . Position of the defending and attacking forces before the battle Three divisions were ultimately responsible for manning the frontline defences opposite the Canadian Corps . The 16th Bavarian Infantry Division was located opposite the village of Souchez and responsible for the defence of the northernmost section of the ridge . The division was created in January 1917 through the amalgamation of existing Bavarian formations and had so far only opposed the Canadian Corps . The 79th Reserve Division was responsible for the defence of the vast central section including the highest point of the ridge , Hill 145 . The 79th Reserve Division fought for two years on the Eastern Front before being transferred to the Vimy sector at the end of February 1917 . The 1st Bavarian Reserve Division had been in the Arras area since October 1914 and was holding the villages of Thélus , Bailleul and the southern slope of the ridge . Byng commanded four attacking divisions , one division of reserves and numerous support units . He was supported to the north by the 24th British Division of I Corps , which advanced north of the Souchez river and by the advancing XVII Corps to the south . The 4th Canadian Division was responsible for the northern portion of the advance that included the capture of the highest point of the ridge followed by the heavily defended Pimple just west of the village of Givenchy - en - Gohelle . The 3rd Canadian Division was responsible for the narrow central section of the ridge , including the capture of La Folie Farm . The 2nd Canadian Division , which later included an additional brigade from the 5th British Division , was directly south of 3rd Canadian Division and entrusted with the capture of the village of Thélus . The 1st Canadian Division was responsible for the broad southern sector of the corps advance and expected to make the greatest advance in terms of distance . Byng planned for a healthy reserve for contingencies that included the relief of forward troops , help in consolidating positions and aiding the 4th Canadian Division with the capture of the Pimple . As a result , the 9th Canadian Brigade , 15th British Brigade and 95th British Brigade were kept in corps - level reserve . Preliminary attack ( edit ) 6 - inch ( 150 mm ) gun of the Royal Garrison Artillery firing over Vimy Ridge behind Canadian lines at night German foreign intelligence gathering , large - scale Allied trench raids and observed troop concentrations west of Arras made it clear to the Germans that a spring offensive near Arras was being planned . In February 1917 , a German - born Canadian soldier deserted to the German side and helped confirm many of the suspicions held by the Germans , providing them with a great deal of useful information . By March 1917 , the German forces were aware that a major attack was imminent and would include operations aimed at capturing Vimy Ridge . General of Infantry Ernst August Marx von Bachmeister , commanding the German 79th Reserve Division , reported in late - March that he believed the Canadian Corps was moving into an echelon formation and were preparing for a major attack . The Germans quickly developed plans to launch a pre-emptive operation , following the adage that the best defence is a good offence , intent on capturing the northern section of the Zouave Valley along the northernmost portion of the Canadian front . Heavy Canadian Corps artillery fire ultimately prevented the Germans from executing their pre-emptive attack . The preliminary phase of the Canadian Corps artillery bombardment began on 20 March 1917 , with a systematic two - week bombardment of German batteries , trenches and strong points . The Canadian Corps paid particular attention to eliminating German barbed wire , a task made easier with the introduction of the No. 106 instantaneous fuse . In addition , only half of the available artillery was committed at any one point in time with the intensity of the barrage expressly varied as to confuse the Germans and preserve some level of secrecy . Phase two lasted the entire week beginning 2 April 1917 and employed the entire artillery arsenal at the disposal of the Canadian Corps , massing the equivalent of one heavy gun for every 18 metres ( 20 yd ) and one field gun for every 9.1 metres ( 10 yd ) . The German soldiers came to refer to the week before the attack as ' the week of suffering ' . By the Germans ' own account , their trenches and defensive works were almost completely demolished . Furthermore , German health and morale suffered from the stress of remaining at the ready for eleven straight days under extremely heavy artillery bombardment . Compounding German difficulties was the inability of ration parties to bring food supplies to the front lines . On 3 April , General von Falkenhausen ordered his reserve divisions to prepare to relieve frontline divisions over the course of a long drawn - out defensive battle , in a manner similar to the Battle of the Somme . However , the divisions were kept 24 kilometres ( 15 mi ) from the battlefield to avoid being shelled . Main assault ( edit ) 9 April ( edit ) Artillery - fire on a field of barbed wire at Vimy Ridge The attack was to begin at 5 : 30 am on Easter Monday , 9 April 1917 . The attack was originally planned for the morning of 8 April ( Easter Sunday ) but it was postponed for 24 hours at the request of the French . During the late hours of 8 April and early morning of 9 April the men of the leading and supporting wave of the attack were moved into their forward assembly positions . The weather was cold and later changed to sleet and snow . Although physically discomforting for everyone , the north - westerly storm provided some advantage to the assaulting troops by blowing snow in the faces of the defending troops . Light Canadian and British artillery bombardments continued throughout the prior night but stopped in the few minutes before the attack , as the artillery recalibrated their guns in preparation for the synchronized barrage . At exactly 5 : 30 am , every artillery piece at the disposal of the Canadian Corps began firing . Thirty seconds later , engineers detonated the mine charges laid under no man 's land and the German trench line , destroying a number of German strong points and creating secure communication trenches directly across no man 's land . Light field guns laid down a barrage that advanced in predetermined increments , often 100 yards ( 91 m ) every three minutes , while medium and heavy howitzers established a series of standing barrages further ahead , against known defensive systems . During the early fighting the German divisional artilleries , despite heavy losses , were able to maintain their defensive firing . As the Canadian assault advanced , it overran many of the German guns because there was no means of moving them to the rear on account of many of the horses being killed in the initial gas attack . 2nd Canadian Division soldiers advance behind a tank The 1st , 2nd and 3rd Canadian Divisions reported reaching and capturing their first objective , the Black Line , by 6 : 25 am . The 4th Canadian Division encountered a great deal of trouble during its advance and was unable to complete its first objective until some hours later . After a planned pause , when the 1st , 2nd and 3rd Canadian Divisions consolidated their positions , the advance resumed . Shortly after 7 : 00 am , the 1st Canadian Division captured the left half of its second objective , the Red Line and moved the 1st Canadian Brigade forward to mount an attack on the remainder . The 2nd Canadian Division reported reaching the Red Line and capturing the village of Les Tilleuls at approximately the same time . A mine explosion that killed many German troops of the Reserve Infantry Regiment 262 manning the front line preceded the advance of the 3rd Canadian Division . The remaining German troops could do no more than man temporary lines of resistance until later manning a full defence at the German third line . As a result , the southern section of the 3rd Canadian Division was able to reach the Red Line at the western edge of the Bois de la Folie at around 7 : 30 am . At 9 : 00 am the division learned of its exposed left flank , as the 4th Canadian Division had not yet captured Hill 145 . The 3rd Canadian Division was thus called upon to establish a divisional defensive flank to its north . Although the German commanders were able to maintain open lines of communication and issue operating orders , even with swift staff work the tempo of the assault was such that German decision cycle was unable to react decisively . Machine gunners operating from craters on the plateau above the ridge The only portion of the Canadian assault that did not go as planned was the advance of the 4th Canadian Division , collapsing almost immediately after exiting their trenches . The commanding officer of one of the assaulting battalions requested that the artillery leave a portion of German trench undamaged . Machine - gun nests in the undamaged sections of the German line pinned down , wounded or killed much of the 4th Canadian Division 's right flank . The progress on the left flank was eventually impeded by harassing fire from the Pimple that was made worse when the creeping barrage got too far ahead of the advancing troops . In view of the German defence , the 4th Canadian Division did not attempt a further frontal assault throughout the afternoon . Reserve units from the 4th Canadian Division came forward and once again attacked the German positions on the top of the ridge . Persistent attacks eventually forced the German troops holding the south - western portion of Hill 145 to withdraw but only after they had run out of ammunition , mortar rounds and grenades . Towards midday , the 79th Reserve Division was ordered to recapture the portions of its third line lost during the progression of the Canadian attack . However , it was not until 6 : 00 pm that the force was able to organize and counterattack , clearing the Canadian Corps troops out of the ruined village of Vimy but not recapturing the third line south of the village . By night time , the German forces holding the top of the ridge believed they had overcome the immediate crisis for the mean time . Additional German reinforcements began arriving and by late evening portions of the 111th Infantry Division occupied the third line near Acheville and Arleux , with the remainder of the division arriving the following day . 10 April ( edit ) Front page of the Daily Mail on 10 April 1917 The British moved three fresh brigades up to the Red Line by 9 : 30 am on 10 April to support the advance of the 1st and 2nd Canadian Division , whereupon they were to leapfrog existing units occupying the Red line and advance to the Blue Line . Fresh units including two sections of tanks and the 13th British Brigade were called up from reserve to support the advance of the 2nd Canadian Division . By approximately 11 : 00 am , the Blue Line , including Hill 135 and the village of Thélus , had been captured . To permit the troops time to consolidate the Blue Line , the advance halted and the barrage remained stationary for 90 minutes while machine guns were brought forward . Shortly before 1 : 00 pm , the advance recommenced with both the 1st and 2nd Canadian Divisions reporting their final objective . The tank - supported advance via Farbus and directed at the rear of the 79th Reserve Division , was eventually halted by concentrated German fire short of the village . The Canadian 1st and 2nd Divisions were nonetheless able to secure the Brown Line by approximately 2 : 00 pm . The 4th Canadian Division had made an attempt to capture the northern half of Hill 145 at around 3 : 15 pm , briefly capturing the peak before a German counterattack retook the position . The Germans occupying the small salient on the ridge soon found themselves being attacked along their flanks by continuously reinforced Canadian Corps troops . When it became obvious that the position was completely outflanked and there was no prospect of reinforcement , the German troops pulled back . The German forces were evacuated off the ridge with German artillery batteries moved west of the Vimy -- Bailleul railway embankment or to the Oppy -- Méricourt line . By nightfall of 10 April , the only Canadian objective not yet achieved was the capture of the Pimple . 12 April ( edit ) The 4th Canadian Division faced difficulties at the start of the battle that forced it to delay its assault on the Pimple until 12 April . The Pimple was initially defended by the 16th Bavarian Infantry Division but the Canadian Corps ' preliminary artillery bombardment leading up to the assault on 9 April caused heavy casualties amongst its ranks . On 11 April , the 4th Guards Infantry Division first reinforced and then relieved affected 16th Bavarian Infantry Division units . The night before the attack , artillery harassed German positions while a gas section of Royal Engineers , employing Livens Projectors , fired more than 40 drums of gas directly into the village of Givenchy - en - Gohelle to cause confusion . The defending German troops managed to drive back the initial Canadian assaults at around 4 : 00 am using small arms fire . The 10th Canadian Brigade attacked once again at 5 : 00 am , this time supported by a significant amount of artillery and the 24th British Division of I Corps to the north . The German defensive artillery fire was late and too light to cause the assaulting troops great difficulty , allowing the Canadian Corps to exploit wide gaps and break into the German positions . The 10th Canadian Brigade , assisted by snow and a westerly wind , fought hastily entrained German troops to capture the entire Pimple by 6 : 00 pm . Aftermath ( edit ) Vimy as seen from Vimy Ridge May 1917 By nightfall on 12 April 1917 , the Canadian Corps was in firm control of the ridge . The corps suffered 10,602 casualties : 3,598 killed and 7,004 wounded . The German Sixth Army suffered an unknown number of casualties with approximately 4,000 men becoming prisoners of war . Four members of the Canadian Corps received the Victoria Cross , the highest military decoration awarded to British and Commonwealth forces for valour , for their actions during the battle : Private William Johnstone Milne of the 16th ( Canadian Scottish ) Battalion . Lance - Sergeant Ellis Wellwood Sifton of the 18th ( Western Ontario ) Battalion . Private John George Pattison of the 50th ( Calgary ) Battalion . Captain Thain Wendell MacDowell of the 38th ( Ottawa ) Battalion . At least two Orders Pour le Mérite , the Kingdom of Prussia 's highest military order , were awarded to German commanders for their actions during the battle : Oberstleutnant Wilhelm von Goerne commander of the 261st Prussian Reserve Infantry Regiment , of the German 79th Reserve Division . General of the Infantry Georg Karl Wichura commander of the VIII Reserve Corps and Gruppe Souchez . German soldiers captured during the battle . Following the defeat , the Chief of the German General Staff , Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg , ordered the Supreme Army Command to conduct a court of enquiry into the defensive collapse of the Arras sector . The court concluded that the Sixth Army headquarters had disregarded frontline commander reports , noting a possible imminent attack and as a result , reserve units were kept too far back to execute a timely and effective counterattack . The court concluded that Sixth Army commander General Ludwig von Falkenhausen failed to apply an elastic defence properly as espoused by German defensive doctrine of the time . Instead , the defensive system was a series of unmoving strong points and static lines of resistance , which the Allied artillery ultimately isolated and destroyed . As a result of the inquiry , Hindenburg removed Falkenhausen from his command and transferred him to Belgium where he served the remainder of the war as that country 's Governor General . The Germans did not see the Canadian Corps 's capture of Vimy Ridge as a loss . Contemporary German sources viewed the action , at worst , as a draw , given that no full - scale breakthrough occurred following the attack . The Germans did not attempt to recapture the ridge , even during the Spring Offensive and it remained under British control until the end of the war . The loss of Vimy Ridge forced the Germans to reassess their defensive strategy in the area . Instead of mounting a counterattack , they pursued a scorched earth policy and retreated to the Oppy -- Méricourt line . The complete failure of the French Nivelle Offensive in the week after the Arras Offensive placed pressure on Field Marshal Douglas Haig to keep the Germans occupied in the Arras sector to minimize French losses . The Canadian Corps participated in several of these actions including the Battle of Arleux and the Third Battle of the Scarpe in late April and early May 1917 . After the end of World War I , Byng was raised to the peerage as Baron Byng of Vimy , of Thorpe - le - Soken in the County of Essex , on 7 October 1919 . The next month , he retired from the military and moved to Thorpe Hall . Commemoration ( edit ) Influence on Canada ( edit ) The Battle of Vimy Ridge has considerable significance for Canada . Although the battle is not generally considered the greatest achievement of the Canadian Corps in strategic importance or results obtained , it was the first instance in which all four Canadian divisions , made up of troops drawn from all parts of the country , fought as a cohesive formation . The image of national unity and achievement is what , according to one of many recent patriotic narratives , initially gave the battle importance for Canada . According to Pierce , `` The historical reality of the battle has been reworked and reinterpreted in a conscious attempt to give purpose and meaning to an event that came to symbolize Canada 's coming of age as a nation . '' The idea that Canada 's national identity and nationhood were born out of the battle is an opinion that in the late twentieth century became widely held in military and general histories of Canada . According to McKay and Swift , the theory that Vimy Ridge is a source of Canada 's rise as a nation is highly contested and developed in the latter part of the twentieth century after most of those who experienced the Great War had passed away . Vimy memorial ( edit ) Main article : Canadian National Vimy Memorial Ghosts of Vimy Ridge , painting by Will Longstaff The Canadian National Vimy Memorial is Canada 's largest and principal overseas war memorial . Located on the highest point of the Vimy Ridge , the memorial is dedicated to the commemoration of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and Canadian Expeditionary Force members killed during the First World War . It serves as the place of commemoration for Canadian soldiers killed in France during the First World War with no known grave . France granted Canada perpetual use of a section of land at Vimy Ridge in 1922 for the purpose of a battlefield park and memorial . A 100 - hectare ( 250 - acre ) portion of the former battlefield is preserved as part of the memorial park that surrounds the monument . The grounds of the site are still honeycombed with wartime tunnels , trenches , craters and unexploded munitions and are largely closed off for public safety . A section of preserved trenches and a portion of a tunnel have been made accessible to site visitors . King Edward VIII unveiling the figure Canada Bereft on the Vimy Ridge Memorial The memorial was designed by Toronto architect and sculptor Walter Seymour Allward , who described it as a `` sermon against the futility of war '' . The memorial took eleven years and cost $1.5 million ( $21.16 million in present terms ) to build . The unveiling was conducted on 26 July 1936 , by King Edward VIII accompanied by President Albert Lebrun of France and a crowd of over 50,000 people , including at least 6,200 Canadian veterans and their families . The Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King was absent , it being well understood that he was generally not comfortable around veterans and felt it more appropriate for a war veteran in Cabinet to act as minister in attendance . Edward VIII thanked France , in both English and French , for its generosity and assured those assembled that Canada would never forget its war missing and dead . A restoration project began in 2004 , which included general cleaning and the recarving of many inscribed names . Queen Elizabeth II rededicated the restored monument on 9 April 2007 , during a ceremony commemorating the 90th anniversary of the battle . Veterans Affairs Canada maintains the memorial site . The commemoration at the memorial on 9 April 2017 for the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge was attended by dignitaries including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau , Governor General David Johnston , Charles , Prince of Wales , Prince William , Duke of Cambridge , Prince Harry and President of France François Hollande .

Independence Day Displays of fireworks , such as these over the Washington Monument in 1986 , take place across the United States on Independence Day . Also called The Fourth of July Observed by United States Type National Significance The day in 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress Celebrations Fireworks , family reunions , concerts , barbecues , picnics , parades , baseball games Date July 4 Next time July 4 , 2019 ( 2019 - 07 - 04 ) Frequency annual Independence Day ( colloquial : the Fourth of July ; July Fourth ; the Fourth ) is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4 , 1776 . The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as free and independent states , the United States of America , and were no longer connected to the British Crown . The Congress actually voted to declare independence two days earlier , on July 2 . Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks , parades , barbecues , carnivals , fairs , picnics , concerts , baseball games , family reunions , and political speeches and ceremonies , in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history , government , and traditions of the United States . Independence Day is the National Day of the United States . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Observance 3 Customs 4 Celebration gallery 5 Notable celebrations 6 Other countries 7 See also 8 References 9 Further reading 10 External links Background During the American Revolution , the legal separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain in 1776 actually occurred on July 2 , when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia declaring the United States independent from Great Britain 's rule . After voting for independence , Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence , a statement explaining this decision , which had been prepared by a Committee of Five , with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author . Congress debated and revised the wording of the Declaration , finally approving it two days later on July 4 . A day earlier , John Adams had written to his wife Abigail : The second day of July , 1776 , will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America . I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival . It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance , by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty . It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade , with shows , games , sports , guns , bells , bonfires , and illuminations , from one end of this continent to the other , from this time forward forever more . Adams 's prediction was off by two days . From the outset , Americans celebrated independence on July 4 , the date shown on the much - publicized Declaration of Independence , rather than on July 2 , the date the resolution of independence was approved in a closed session of Congress . Historians have long disputed whether members of Congress signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4 , even though Thomas Jefferson , John Adams , and Benjamin Franklin all later wrote that they had signed it on that day . Most historians have concluded that the Declaration was signed nearly a month after its adoption , on August 2 , 1776 , and not on July 4 as is commonly believed . Coincidentally , both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson , the only signers of the Declaration of Independence later to serve as Presidents of the United States , died on the same day : July 4 , 1826 , which was the 50th anniversary of the Declaration . Although not a signer of the Declaration of Independence , James Monroe , another Founding Father who was elected as President , also died on July 4 , 1831 . He was the third President who died on the anniversary of independence . Calvin Coolidge , the 30th President , was born on July 4 , 1872 ; so far he is the only U.S. President to have been born on Independence Day . Observance In 1777 , thirteen gunshots were fired in salute , once at morning and once again as evening fell , on July 4 in Bristol , Rhode Island . An article in July 18 , 1777 issue of The Virginia Gazette noted a celebration in Philadelphia in a manner a modern American would find familiar : an official dinner for the Continental Congress , toasts , 13 - gun salutes , speeches , prayers , music , parades , troop reviews , and fireworks . Ships in port were decked with red , white , and blue bunting . In 1778 , from his headquarters at Ross Hall , near New Brunswick , New Jersey , General George Washington marked July 4 with a double ration of rum for his soldiers and an artillery salute ( feu de joie ) . Across the Atlantic Ocean , ambassadors John Adams and Benjamin Franklin held a dinner for their fellow Americans in Paris , France . American children of many ethnic backgrounds celebrate noisily in 1902 Puck cartoon In 1779 , July 4 fell on a Sunday . The holiday was celebrated on Monday , July 5 . In 1781 , the Massachusetts General Court became the first state legislature to recognize July 4 as a state celebration . In 1783 , Salem , North Carolina held a celebration with a challenging music program assembled by Johann Friedrich Peter entitled The Psalm of Joy . The town claims to be the first public July 4 event , as it was carefully documented by the Moravian Church , and there are no government records of any earlier celebrations . In 1870 , the U.S. Congress made Independence Day an unpaid holiday for federal employees . In 1938 , Congress changed Independence Day to a paid federal holiday . Customs An 1825 invitation to an Independence Day celebration Fireworks on Independence Day in Goleta , California Independence Day is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays . Similar to other summer - themed events , Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors . According to 5 U.S.C. § 6103 , Independence Day is a federal holiday , so all non-essential federal institutions ( such as the postal service and federal courts ) are closed on that day . Many politicians make it a point on this day to appear at a public event to praise the nation 's heritage , laws , history , society , and people . Families often celebrate Independence Day by hosting or attending a picnic or barbecue ; many take advantage of the day off and , in some years , a long weekend to gather with relatives or friends . Decorations ( e.g. , streamers , balloons , and clothing ) are generally colored red , white , and blue , the colors of the American flag . Parades are often held in the morning , before family get - togethers , while fireworks displays occur in the evening after dark at such places as parks , fairgrounds , or town squares . The night before the Fourth was once the focal point of celebrations , marked by raucous gatherings often incorporating bonfires as their centerpiece . In New England , towns competed to build towering pyramids , assembled from barrels and casks . They were lit at nightfall to usher in the celebration . The highest were in Salem , Massachusetts , with pyramids composed of as many as forty tiers of barrels . These made the tallest bonfires ever recorded . The custom flourished in the 19th and 20th centuries and is still practiced in some New England towns . Independence Day fireworks are often accompanied by patriotic songs such as the national anthem , `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' ; `` God Bless America '' ; `` America the Beautiful '' ; `` My Country , ' Tis of Thee '' ; `` This Land Is Your Land '' ; `` Stars and Stripes Forever '' ; and , regionally , `` Yankee Doodle '' in northeastern states and `` Dixie '' in southern states . Some of the lyrics recall images of the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812 . Independence Day Parade in Washington , D.C. Firework shows are held in many states , and many fireworks are sold for personal use or as an alternative to a public show . Safety concerns have led some states to ban fireworks or limit the sizes and types allowed . In addition , local and regional weather conditions may dictate whether the sale or use of fireworks in an area will be allowed . Some local or regional firework sales are limited or prohibited because of dry weather or other specific concerns . On these occasions the public may be prohibited from purchasing or discharging fireworks , but professional displays ( such as those at sports events ) may still take place , if certain safety precautions have been taken . A salute of one gun for each state in the United States , called a `` salute to the union , '' is fired on Independence Day at noon by any capable military base .

Since 1868 , Seward , Nebraska , has held a celebration on the same town square . In 1979 Seward was designated `` America 's Official Fourth of July City - Small Town USA '' by resolution of Congress . Seward has also been proclaimed `` Nebraska 's Official Fourth of July City '' by Governor James Exon in proclamation . Seward is a town of 6,000 but swells to 40,000 + during the July 4 celebrations . Since 1912 , the Rebild Society , a Danish - American friendship organization , has held a July 4 weekend festival that serves as a homecoming for Danish - Americans in the Rebild Hills of Denmark .

The famous Macy 's fireworks display usually held over the East River in New York City has been televised nationwide on NBC since 1976 .

The Boston Pops Orchestra has hosted a music and fireworks show over the Charles River Esplanade called the `` Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular '' annually since 1973 . The event was broadcast nationally from 1991 until 2002 on A&E , and since 2002 by CBS and its Boston station WBZ - TV . WBZ / 1030 and WBZ - TV broadcast the entire event locally , and from 2002 through 2012 , CBS broadcast the final hour of the concert nationally in primetime . The national broadcast was put on hiatus beginning in 2013 , which Pops executive producer David G. Mugar believed was the result of decreasing viewership caused by NBC 's encore presentation of the Macy 's fireworks . The national broadcast was revived for 2016 , and expanded to two hours . In 2017 , Bloomberg Television took over coverage duty , with WHDH carrying local coverage beginning in 2018 . On the Capitol lawn in Washington , D.C. , A Capitol Fourth , a free concert broadcast live by PBS , NPR and the American Forces Network , precedes the fireworks and attracts over half a million people annually . Other Countries The Philippines celebrates July 4 as its Republic Day to commemorate that day in 1946 when it ceased to be a U.S. territory and the United States officially recognized Philippine Independence . July 4 was intentionally chosen by the United States because it corresponds to its Independence Day , and this day was observed in the Philippines as Independence Day until 1962 . In 1964 , the name of the July 4 holiday was changed to Republic Day . Rebild National Park in Denmark is said to hold the largest July 4 celebrations outside of the United States .

"In 1779, July 4 fell on a Sunday. The holiday was celebrated on Monday, July 5.[18]\nIn 1781, the Massachusetts General Court became the first state legislature to recognize July 4 as a state celebration.[18]\nIn 1783, Salem, North Carolina held a celebration with a challenging music program assembled by Johann Friedrich Peter entitled The Psalm of Joy. The town claims to be the first public July 4 event, as it was carefully documented by the Moravian Church, and there are no government records of any earlier celebrations.[19]\nIn 1870, the U.S. Congress made Independence Day an unpaid holiday for federal employees.[20]\nIn 1938, Congress changed Independence Day to a paid federal holiday.[21]"

Upon her return to London from China , Alice discovers that her ex-fiancé , Hamish Ascot , has married her look - alike and taken over her father 's company and plans to have her sell him her father 's ship , `` the Wonder '' , in exchange for her family home . Unable to make a choice , Alice runs away , and comes across her butterfly friend Absolem , who disappears through a mysterious mirror in one of the upstairs rooms , returning to Wonderland . There , Alice is greeted by Mirana of Marmoreal the White Queen , Nivens McTwisp the White Rabbit , the Tweedles , Mallymkun the Dormouse , Thackery Earwicket the March Hare , Bayard , and the Cheshire Cat . They inform her that Tarrant Hightopp the Mad Hatter is in poor health because his family is missing following the Attack of the Jabberwocky . The attack occurred shortly after his father , Zanik , a hat retailer , seemed to reject Tarrant 's gift of a hat creation . The White Queen persuades Alice to convince Time himself to save the Mad Hatter 's family in the past , believing her to be the only one who can save the Hatter . However , she cautions Alice about Time , and that if her past self sees her future self , everything will be history . As Alice sets out , she ends up in a dreary castle , where Time himself , a demigod that is part - human , part - clock , resides . As Alice tries to consult Time , she finds the Chronosphere , an object that powers all time in Wonderland and will allow her to travel to any time in the past . Alice ignores Time 's warning that the past is unchangeable , and steals the Chronosphere , shortly after finding Iracebeth of Crims , the exiled Red Queen , in the care of Time . Alice accidentally flies to the day of Iracebeth 's coronation , where a younger Mad Hatter mocks the Red Queen when the royal crown does n't fit on her abnormally large head . This causes Iracebeth to melt down , and her father deems her emotionally unqualified to rule and passes the title of queen to her younger sister , the White Queen . Alice learns of an event in Iracebeth 's and Mirana 's past that caused friction between the two and travels back in time again , hoping it will change Iracebeth 's ways and stop the Jabberwocky from killing the Hatter 's family . She learns that the hat that the Mad Hatter thought his father threw away was actually treasured by him . Meanwhile , at the White Queen and Red Queen 's castle , at the time they are children , Mirana steals a tart from her mother and eats it . When confronted by their mother , Mirana lies about eating the tart , and Iracebeth is accused , causing her to run out of the castle . Alice sees that Iracebeth is about to run into a clock , thinking that 's the event that deforms her head and personality . Alice prevents that collision but fails to change the past , as Iracebeth trips and slams her head into a stone wall instead . A weakened Time then confronts Alice after relentless searching , and scolds her for putting all of time in danger . Out of panic , Alice runs into a nearby mirror back in the real world , where she wakes up in a mental hospital , diagnosed with female hysteria . As Dr. Addison Bennett , a psychiatric doctor , tries to inject her with a sedative , with her mother Helen 's encouragement and help , she escapes and returns to Wonderland via the mirror , where she travels to Horevendush Day , when the Hightopp family was killed . Alice discovers that the Mad Hatter 's family was captured by the Red Queen instead and never died . Returning to the present , however , Alice discovers that the Mad Hatter is on the brink of death . Alice , close to tears , says that she believes him , and Tarrant transforms back to his normal self . The Wonderlandians go to the Red Queen 's new organic plant castle , where the Mad Hatter finds his family shrunk and trapped in an ant farm . However , the Red Queen apprehends them and steals the Chronosphere from Alice . Ignoring Time 's warning , she takes her sister back to the day she lied about the tart . By the time the Mad Hatter and Alice get there , the Red Queen and her younger self have seen each other . Time becomes a paradox , and Wonderland begins to freeze in rust . As a powerless Time 's pleas , Alice and the Mad Hatter , with the White Queen and now - frozen Red Queen , use the Chronosphere to race back to the present as the rust proceeds to spread all over the ocean of Time and the castle , where Alice places the Chronosphere in its original place in time . With the Chronosphere stabilized , Wonderland , including those frozen , are reverted to normal . The Mad Hatter reunites with his family , and the White Queen and Red Queen make amends , while Time forgives Alice for the trouble she caused , but forbids her to return . Alice bids farewell to her friends and returns to the real world through another mirror . Alice finds her mother , Helen , about to sign over the Wonder to Hamish and reassures her that it 's only a ship . Helen decides to support her daughter regardless . Hamish seizes the Kingsleigh family home but not the ship . Alice and her mother set out to travel the world together with their own shipping company .

August 2014 The film was announced via Variety in December 2012 . Bobin was first approached about the project while doing post-production work on Muppets Most Wanted , Of being asked , Bobin has said that `` I just could n't pass it up '' , as he has a passion for the works of Lewis Carroll as well as history in general . In July 2013 , it was announced that Johnny Depp would return as the Hatter , with Mia Wasikowska 's return confirmed the following November . In January 2014 Sacha Baron Cohen joined the cast to play Time . In May 2014 , Rhys Ifans joined the cast to play Zanik Hightopp , the Mad Hatter 's father . In developing the character of `` Time '' , Bobin sought to avoid creating a `` straight - up bad guy '' , noting that it would be `` a bit dull '' , and also that the role in that universe already existed in the form of The Red Queen . Instead , Bobin sought to make Time a `` Twit '' , further explaining that `` There 's no one better at playing the confident idiot trope than Sacha Baron Cohen '' , and adding that `` it was very much with Sacha in mind '' . Principal photography began on August 4 , 2014 , at Shepperton Studios .

Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) Alice Through the Looking Glass grossed $77 million in the United States and Canada and $222.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $299.5 million , against a budget of $170 million . North america ( edit ) Alice Through the Looking Glass opened in the United States and Canada on May 27 , 2016 , alongside X-Men : Apocalypse , and was initially projected to gross $55 -- 60 million from 3,763 theaters over its four - day Memorial Day opening weekend , but projections were continuously revised downwards due to poor word of mouth . It had the added benefit of playing in over 3,100 3D theaters , 380 IMAX screens , 77 premium large formats and 79 D - box locations . It made $1.5 million from Thursday previews ( to the first film 's $3.9 million ) and just $9.7 million on its first day , compared to the $41 million opening Friday of its predecessor . Through its opening weekend , it earned $27 million , which when compared to its predecessor 's $116 million opening is down 70 % . While 3D represented 71 % ( $82 million ) of the original film 's opening gross , 3D constituted only 41 % ( $11 million ) for this sequel , with 29 % coming from traditional 3D shows , 11 % from IMAX , and 1 % from premium large formats . It became the studio 's third Memorial Day opening flop following Tomorrowland in 2015 and Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time in 2010 . During its first week , the film grossed $40.1 million . In its second weekend , the film grossed $11.3 million ( a 55.1 % drop ) , finishing 4th at the box office . Other countries ( edit ) The film was released across 43 countries ( 72 % of its total market place ) the same weekend as the US , and was estimated to gross $80 -- 100 million in its opening weekend . It faced competition from Warcraft and X-Men : Apocalypse . It ended up grossing $62.7 million , which is well below the projections of which $4.1 million came from IMAX shows . It had an opening weekend gross in Mexico ( $4.5 million ) , Brazil ( $4.1 million ) , and Russia ( $3.9 million ) . In the United Kingdom and Ireland , it had an unsuccessful opening by grossing just £ 2.23 million ( $3.1 million ) during its opening weekend , a mere 21 % of the first film 's £ 10.56 million ( $15.2 million ) opening from 603 theaters . It debuted in second place behind X-Men : Apocalypse which was on its second weekend of play . In China , it had an opening day of an estimated $7.3 million and went on to score the second biggest Disney live - action ( non-Marvel or Lucasfilm ) opening ever with $26.6 million , behind only The Jungle Book . However , this was down from its $35 -- 45 million projections . It debuted at the No. 1 spot among newly released film in Japan with $5.2 million and $4.1 million on Saturday and Sunday . By comparison , the first film opened with $14 million on its way to a $133.6 million a total . Critical response ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 29 % based on 234 reviews , and an average rating of 4.6 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Alice Through the Looking Glass is just as visually impressive as its predecessor , but that is n't enough to cover for an underwhelming story that fails to live up to its classic characters . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 34 out of 100 based on 42 critics , indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale , the same grade earned by its predecessor . Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote in his review , `` What does all this have to do with Lewis Carroll ? Hardly anything '' and that overall , `` It 's just an excuse on which to hang two trite overbearing fables and one amusing one '' . Ty Burr of The Boston Globe gave the movie 1.5 out of 4 stars and called the film , `` gaudy , loud , complacent , and vulgar . '' Stephen Whitty of New York Daily News called the film `` hugely expensive and extravagantly stupid '' and that , overall , the movie `` is just one more silly Hollywood mashup , an innocent fantasy morphed into a noisy would - be blockbuster '' . Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com was deeply critical of Through the Looking Glass , describing it as `` the most offensive kind of film ... one that spends an enormous amount of money yet seems to have nothing on its mind but money . You give it , they take it . And you get nothing in return but assurances that you 're seeing magic and wonder . The movie keeps repeating it in your ear , and flashing it onscreen in big block letters : MAGIC AND WONDER . MAGIC AND WONDER . But there is no magic , no wonder , just junk rehashed from a movie that was itself a rehash of Lewis Carroll , tricked out with physically unpersuasive characters and landscapes and ' action scenes ' , with blockbuster ' journey movie ' tropes affixed to every set - piece as blatantly as Post-It Notes . '' Kyle Smith of New York Post gave the film a positive review : `` The screenplay ( by Linda Woolverton ) is n't exactly heaving with brilliant ideas , but it works well enough as a blank canvas against which the special - effects team goes bonkers '' . Matthew Lickona of San Diego Reader said that while he found the visual effects to be `` stupidly expensive '' and the story familiar , he called it , `` a solid kids ' movie in the old style '' .

2076647394818662795 | Gun violence in the United States | Gun violence in the United States - wikipedia Gun violence in the United States Jump to : navigation , search Assassination of William McKinley in 1901 ; McKinley died eight days later from his wounds . Gun violence in the United States is a major national concern that results in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries annually . In 2013 , there were 73,505 nonfatal firearm injuries ( 23.2 injuries per 100,000 U.S. citizens ) , and 33,636 deaths due to `` injury by firearms '' ( 10.6 deaths per 100,000 U.S. citizens ) . These deaths consisted of 11,208 homicides , 21,175 suicides , 505 deaths due to accidental or negligent discharge of a firearm , and 281 deaths due to firearms use with `` undetermined intent '' . Of the 2,596,993 total deaths in the US in 2013 , 1.3 % were related to firearms . The ownership and control of guns are among the most widely debated issues in the country . In 2010 , 67 % of all homicides in the U.S. were committed using a firearm . In 2012 , there were 8,855 total firearm - related homicides in the US , with 6,371 of those attributed to handguns . In 2012 , 64 % of all gun - related deaths in the U.S. were suicides . In 2010 , there were 19,392 firearm - related suicides , and 11,078 firearm - related homicides in the U.S. In 2010 , 358 murders were reported involving a rifle while 6,009 were reported involving a handgun ; another 1,939 were reported with an unspecified type of firearm . Firearms were used to kill 13,286 people in the U.S. in 2015 , excluding suicide . Approximately 1.4 million people have been killed using firearms in the U.S. between 1968 and 2011 , equivalent to a top 10 largest U.S. city in 2016 , falling between the populations of San Antonio and Dallas , Texas . Compared to 22 other high - income nations , the U.S. gun - related murder rate is 25 times higher . Although it has half the population of the other 22 nations combined , the U.S. had 82 percent of all gun deaths , 90 percent of all women killed by guns , 91 percent of children under 14 and 92 percent of young people between ages 15 and 24 killed by guns . In 2010 , gun violence cost U.S. taxpayers approximately $516 million in direct hospital costs . Gun violence is most common in poor urban areas and frequently associated with gang violence , often involving male juveniles or young adult males . Although mass shootings have been covered extensively in the media , mass shootings in the US account for a small fraction of gun - related deaths and the frequency of these events steadily declined between 1994 and 2007 , rising between 2007 and 2013 . Legislation at the federal , state , and local levels has attempted to address gun violence through a variety of methods , including restricting firearms purchases by youths and other `` at - risk '' populations , setting waiting periods for firearm purchases , establishing gun buyback programs , law enforcement and policing strategies , stiff sentencing of gun law violators , education programs for parents and children , and community - outreach programs . Despite widespread concern about the impacts of gun violence on public health , Congress has prohibited the Centers for Disease Control ( CDC ) from conducting research that advocates in favor of gun control . The CDC has interpreted this ban to extend to all research on gun violence prevention , and so has not funded any research on this subject since 1996 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Gun ownership 1.1 Self - protection 2 Suicides 3 Homicides 4 Accidental and negligent injuries 5 Violent crime 5.1 U.S. presidential assassinations and attempts 5.2 Other violent crime 6 Offenders 6.1 Vectors 7 Victims 8 Public policy 8.1 Access to firearms 8.2 Firearms market 8.3 Federal legislation 8.4 State legislation 8.4. 1 Right - to - carry 8.4. 2 Child Access Prevention ( CAP ) 8.5 Local restrictions 9 Prevention programs 9.1 Hotline 9.2 Gun safety parent counseling 9.3 Children 9.4 Community programs 10 Intervention programs 10.1 Gun buyback programs 10.2 Operation Ceasefire 10.3 Project Exile 10.4 Project Safe Neighborhoods 10.5 Americans for Responsible Solutions 11 Research limitations 12 See also 13 Notes and references 14 External links Gun ownership ( edit ) The Congressional Research Service in 2009 estimated there were 310 million firearms in the U.S. , not including weapons owned by the military . Of these , 114 million were handguns , 110 million were rifles , and 86 million were shotguns . In that same year , the Census bureau stated the population of people in the U.S. at 306 million . Accurate figures for civilian gun ownership are difficult to determine . While the number of guns in civilian hands has been on the increase , the percentage of Americans and American households who claim to own guns has been in long - term decline , according to the General Social Survey . It found that gun ownership by households has declined steadily from about half , in the late 1970s and early 1980s , down to 32 % in 2015 . The percentage of individual owners declined from 31 % in 1985 to 22 % in 2014 . However , the Gallup organization has been performing similar polls for the same interval , and finds that household ownership of firearms was approximately the same in 2013 as it was in 1970 - 43 % , and individual ownership numbers rose from 27 % in 2000 , to 29 % in 2013 . Pew found that fewer Americans are dying as a result of gun violence : In 1993 , there were seven homicides using firearms for every 100,000 ; by 2013 , that figure had fallen to 3.6 . What the Pew research does not account for though , is that household firearms ownership hit a high again in the 1993 - 1994 timeframe where household gun ownership exceeded 50 % according to Gallup polls . The Gallup polls further show that household firearm ownership currently exceeds 40 % and that the long - term trend is a sharp decline in polling for stricter gun control laws . Lastly , Gallup polling has consistently been over 65 % against , when asking whether there should be bans on possession of handguns . Gun ownership figures are generally estimated via polling , by such organizations as the General Social Survey ( GSS ) , Harris Interactive , and Gallup . There are significant disparities in the results across polls by different organizations , calling into question their reliability . In Gallup 's 1972 survey , 43 % reported having a gun in their home , while GSS 's 1973 survey resulted in 49 % reporting a gun in the home ; in 1993 , Gallup 's poll results were 51 % , while GSS 's 1994 poll showed 43 % . In 2012 , Gallup 's survey showed 47 % of Americans reporting having a gun in their home , while the GSS in 2012 reports 34 % . In 1997 , estimates were approximately 44 million gun owners in the United States . These owners possessed approximately 192 million firearms , of which an estimated 65 million were handguns . A National Survey on Private Ownership and Use of Firearms ( NSPOF ) , conducted in 1994 , indicated that Americans owned 192 million guns : 36 % rifles , 34 % handguns , 26 % shotguns , and 4 % other types of long guns . Most firearm owners owned multiple firearms , with the NSPOF survey indicating 25 % of adults owned firearms . In the U.S. , 11 % of households reported actively being involved in hunting , with the remaining firearm owners having guns for self - protection and other reasons . Throughout the 1970s and much of the 1980s , the rate of gun ownership in the home ranged from 45 - 50 % . Rapid increases in gun purchases characterized by exceptionally large crowds accruing at gun vendors and gun shows is consistently observed due to the possibility of increased gun control following highly publicized mass murders . Gun ownership also varied across geographic regions , ranging from 25 % rates of ownership in the Northeastern United States to 60 % rates of ownership in the East South Central States . A Gallup poll ( 2004 ) indicated that 49 % of men reported gun ownership , compared to 33 % of women , and 44 % of whites owned a gun , compared to only 24 % of nonwhites . More than half of those living in rural areas ( 56 % ) owned a gun , compared with 40 % of suburbanites and 29 % of those in urban areas . More than half ( 53 % ) of Republicans owned guns , compared with 36 % of political independents and 31 % of Democrats . One criticism of the GSS survey and other proxy measures of gun ownership , is that they do not provide adequate macro-level detail to allow conclusions on the relationship between overall firearm ownership and gun violence . Kleck compared various survey and proxy measures and found no correlation between overall firearm ownership and gun violence . In contrast , studies by David Hemenway and his colleagues , which used GSS data and the fraction of suicides committed with a gun as a proxy for gun ownership rates , found a strong positive association between gun ownership and homicide in the United States . Similarly , a 2006 study by Philip J. Cook and Jens Ludwig , which also used the percent of suicides committed with a gun as a proxy , found that gun prevalence increased homicide rates . This study also found that the elasticity of this effect was between + 0.1 and + 0.3 . Self - Protection ( edit ) Main article : Defensive gun use The effectiveness and safety of guns used for personal defense is debated . Studies place the instances of guns used in personal defense as low as 65,000 times per year , and as high as 2.5 million times per year . Under President Clinton , the Department of Justice conducted a survey in 1994 that placed the usage rate of guns used in personal defense at 1.5 million times per year , but noted this was likely to be an overestimate . Between 1987 and 1990 , McDowall et al. found that guns were used in defense during a crime incident 64,615 times annually ( 258,460 times total over the whole period ) . This equated to two times out of 1,000 criminal incidents ( 0.2 % ) that occurred in this period , including criminal incidents where no guns were involved at all . For violent crimes , assault , robbery , and rape , guns were used 0.83 % of the time in self - defense . Of the times that guns were used in self - defense , 71 % of the crimes were committed by strangers , with the rest of the incidents evenly divided between offenders that were acquaintances or persons well known to the victim . In 28 % of incidents where a gun was used for self - defense , victims fired the gun at the offender . In 20 % of the self - defense incidents , the guns were used by police officers . During this same period , 1987 to 1990 , there were 46,319 gun homicides , and the National Crime Victimization Survey estimated that 2,628,532 nonfatal crimes involving guns occurred . McDowall 's study for the American Journal of Public Health contrasted with a 1995 study by Kleck and Gertz , who found that 2.45 million crimes were thwarted each year in the U.S. using guns , and in most cases , the potential victim never fired a shot . The results of the Kleck studies have been cited many times in scholarly and popular media . The methodology of the Kleck and Gertz study has been criticized by some researchers . Suicides ( edit ) See also : Suicide methods § Firearms There were 19,392 firearm - related suicides in the U.S. in 2010 . The U.S. Department of Justice reports that approximately 60 % of all adult firearm deaths are by suicide , 61 % more than deaths by homicide . In the U.S. , firearms remain the most common method of suicide , accounting for 51 % of all suicides committed in 2006 . One study found that military veterans used firearms in about 67 % of suicides in 2014 . Firearms are the most lethal method of suicide , with a lethality rate 2.6 times higher than suffocation ( the second-most lethal method ) . In the United States , access to firearms is associated with an increased risk of completed suicide . A 1992 case - control study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed an association between estimated household firearm ownership and suicide rates , finding that individuals living in a home where firearms are present are more likely to commit suicide than those individuals who do not own firearms , by a factor of 3 or 4 . A 2006 study by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health found a significant association between changes in estimated household gun ownership rates and suicide rates in the United States among men , women , and children . A 2007 study by the same research team found that in the United States , estimated household gun ownership rates were strongly associated with overall suicide rates and gun suicide rates , but not with non-gun suicide rates . A 2013 study reproduced this finding , even after controlling for different underlying rates of suicidal behavior by states . A 2015 study also found a strong association between estimated gun ownership rates in American cities and rates of both overall and gun suicide , but not with non-gun suicide . Correlation studies comparing different countries do not always find a statistically significant effect . A 2016 cross-sectional study showed a strong association between estimated household gun ownership rates and gun - related suicide rates among men and women in the United States . The same study found a strong association between estimated gun ownership rates and overall suicide rates , but only in men . During the 1980s and early 1990s , there was a strong upward trend in adolescent suicides with guns as well as a sharp overall increase in suicides among those age 75 and over . David Hemenway , professor of health policy at Harvard University 's School of Public Health , and director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center and the Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center , stated Differences in overall suicide rates across cities , states and regions in the United States are best explained not by differences in mental health , suicide ideation , or even suicide attempts , but by availability of firearms . Many suicides are impulsive , and the urge to die fades away . Firearms are a swift and lethal method of suicide with a high case - fatality rate . There are over twice as many gun - related suicides than gun - related homicides in the United States . Firearms are the most popular method of suicide due to the lethality of the weapon . 90 % of all suicides attempted using a firearm result in a fatality , as opposed to less than 3 % of suicide attempts involving cutting or drug - use . The risk of someone attempting suicide is also 4.8 times greater if they are exposed to a firearm on a regular basis ; for example , in the home. Kellermann , A.L. , & Reay , D.T. ( 1986 ) . Protection or peril : An analysis of firearm - related deaths in the home . New England Journal of Medicine , 314 , 1557 - 1560 . Homicides ( edit ) Homicides by weapon type , 1976 - 2004 . Homicide offenders by age , 1976 - 2004 Gun and overall homicides in Washington , D.C. are concentrated in crime hot spots located in neighborhoods ( including Shaw , Sursum Corda , Trinidad , Anacostia , and Congress Heights ) with socio - economic disadvantage , while homicide is rare in other neighborhoods . According to the FBI , in 2012 , there were 8,897 total firearm - related homicides in the US , with 6,404 of those attributed to handguns . The Centers for Disease Control reports that there were 11,078 firearm - related homicides in the U.S. in 2010 . The FBI breaks down the gun - related homicides in 2010 by weapon : 6,009 involved a handgun , 358 involved a rifle , and 1,939 involved an unspecified type of firearm . In 2005 , 75 % of the 10,100 homicides committed using firearms in the U.S. were committed using handguns , compared to 4 % with rifles , 5 % with shotguns , and the rest with unspecified firearms . In the United States , states with higher gun ownership rates have higher rates of overall and gun homicides , but not higher rates of non-gun homicides . Higher gun availability is positively associated with homicide rates . There is evidence , however , that gun ownership has less of an effect on rates of gun homicide than it does on gun suicide . In the U.S. in 2011 , 67 percent of homicide victims were killed using a firearm : 66 percent of single - victim homicides and 79 percent of multiple - victim homicides . In the 19th century gun violence played a role in civil disorder such as the Haymarket riot . Homicide rates in cities such as Philadelphia were significantly lower in the 19th century than in modern times . During the 1980s and early 1990s , homicide rates surged in cities across the United States ( see graphs at right ) . Handgun homicides accounted for nearly all of the overall increase in the homicide rate , from 1985 to 1993 , while homicide rates involving other weapons declined during that time frame . The rising trend in homicide rates during the 1980s and early 1990s was most pronounced among lower income and especially unemployed males . Youths and Hispanic and African American males in the U.S. were the most represented , with the injury and death rates tripling for black males aged 13 through 17 and doubling for black males aged 18 through 24 . The rise in crack cocaine use in cities across the U.S. is often cited as a factor for increased gun violence among youths during this time period . Prevalence of homicide and violent crime is higher in statistical metropolitan areas of the U.S. than it is in non-metropolitan counties ; the vast majority of the U.S. population lives in statistical metropolitan areas . In metropolitan areas , the homicide rate in 2013 was 4.7 per 100,000 compared with 3.4 in non-metropolitan counties . More narrowly , the rates of murder and non-negligent manslaughter are identical in metropolitan counties and non-metropolitan counties . In U.S. cities with populations greater than 250,000 , the mean homicide rate was 12.1 per 100,000 . According to FBI statistics , the highest per capita rates of gun - related homicides in 2005 were in D.C. ( 35.4 / 100,000 ) , Puerto Rico ( 19.6 / 100,000 ) , Louisiana ( 9.9 / 100,000 ) , and Maryland ( 9.9 / 100,000 ) . In 2017 , according to the Associated Press , Baltimore broke a record for homicides . In 2005 , the 17 through 24 age group remains significantly over-represented in violent crime statistics , particularly homicides involving firearms . In 2005 , 17 - through 19 - year - olds were 4.3 % of the overall population of the U.S. This same age group accounted for 11.2 % of those killed in firearm homicides . This age group also accounted for 10.6 % of all homicide offenses . The 20 - through 24 - year - old age group accounted for 7.1 % of the population , while accounting for 22.5 % of those killed in firearm homicides . The 20 through 24 age group also accounted for 17.7 % of all homicide offenses . Those under age 17 are not overrepresented in homicide statistics . In 2005 , 13 - through 16 - year - olds accounted for 6 % of the overall population of the U.S. , but only accounted for 3.6 % of firearm homicide victims , and 2.7 % of overall homicide offenses . People with a criminal record were also more likely to die as homicide victims . Between 1990 and 1994 , 75 % of all homicide victims age 21 and younger in the city of Boston had a prior criminal record . In Philadelphia , the percentage of those killed in gun homicides that had prior criminal records increased from 73 % in 1985 to 93 % in 1996 . In Richmond , Virginia , the risk of gunshot injury is 22 times higher for those males involved with crime . The likelihood that a death will result is significantly increased when either the victim or the attacker has a firearm . For example , the mortality rate for gunshot wounds to the heart is 84 % , compared to 30 % for people who sustain stab wounds to the heart . The U.S. is ranked 4th out of 34 developed nations for the highest incidence rate of homicides committed with a firearm , according to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ( OECD ) data . Mexico , Turkey , Estonia are ranked ahead of the U.S. in incidence of homicides . A U.S. male aged 15 -- 24 is 70 times more likely to be killed with a gun than their counterpart in the eight ( G - 8 ) largest industrialized nations in the world ( United Kingdom , France , Germany , Japan , Canada , Italy , Russia ) . In a broader comparison of 218 countries the U.S. is ranked 111 . In 2010 , the U.S. ' homicide rate is 7 times higher than the average for populous developed countries in the OECD , and its firearm - related homicide rate was 25.2 times higher . In 2013 the United States ' firearm - related death rate was 10.64 deaths for every 100,000 inhabitants , a figure very close to Mexico 's 11.17 , although in Mexico firearm deaths are predominantly homicides whereas in the United States they are predominantly suicides . ( Although Mexico has ostensibly strict gun laws , the laws restricting carry are often unenforced , and the laws restricting manufacture and sale are often circumvented by trafficking from the United States and other countries . ) Canada and Switzerland each have much looser gun control regulation than the majority of developed nations , although significantly more than in the United States , and have firearm death rates of 2.22 and 2.91 per 100,000 citizens , respectively . By comparison Australia , which imposed sweeping gun control laws in response to the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 , has a firearm death rate of 0.86 per 100,000 , and in the United Kingdom the rate is 0.26 . In the year of 2014 , thousands of Americans were killed by guns . There was a total of 8,124 gun homicides . In 2015 , there were 372 mass shootings and 33,636 deaths due to firearms in the U.S , while guns were used to kill about 50 people in the U.K. More people are typically killed with guns in the U.S. in a day ( about 85 ) than in the U.K. in a year . Deadly mass shootings have resulted in considerable coverage by the media . These shootings have represented 1 % of all deaths using gun between 1980 and 2008 . Although mass shootings have been covered extensively in the media , mass shootings account for a small fraction of gun - related deaths and the frequency of these events had steadily declined between 1994 and 2007 . Between 2007 and 2013 , the rate of active shooter incidents per year in the US has increased . Handguns figured in the Virginia Tech massacre , Binghamton shootings , 2009 Fort Hood shooting , Oikos University shooting , and 2011 Tucson shooting . The Aurora theater shooting and the Columbine High School massacre were committed by assailants armed with multiple weapons . Some studies have been conducted which suggest that the concept of guns can prime aggressive thoughts and aggressive reactions . In an experiment performed by Berkowitz and LePage in 1967 , this `` weapons effect '' was examined . Ultimately , when study participants were provoked their reaction was substantially more aggressive when a gun was visibly present in the room as opposed to a more benign object like a tennis racket . Other similar experiments like those conducted by Carson , Marcus - Newhall and Miller yield similar results . Such results imply that the presence of a gun in an altercation could illicit an aggressive reaction which may result in the committing of a homicide . However , such a reaction has only been proved in an experimental setting and there is no evidence that suggests this would be true in a practical or realistic setting . Accidental and negligent injuries ( edit ) The perpetrators and victims of accidental and negligent gun discharges may be of any age . Over 120 children 15 years old or younger were killed in gun accidents in 1998 . Accidental injuries are most common in homes where guns are kept for self - defense . The injuries are self - inflicted in half of the cases . On January 16 , 2013 , President Obama issued 23 Executive Orders on Gun Safety , one of which was for the Center for Disease Control ( CDC ) to research causes and possible prevention of gun violence . The five main areas of focus were gun violence , risk factors , prevention / intervention , gun safety and how media and violent video games influence the public . They also researched the area of accidental firearm deaths . According to this study not only have the number of accidental firearm deaths been on the decline over the past century but they now account for less than 1 % of all unintentional deaths , half of which are self - inflicted . Violent crime ( edit ) See also : Gun violence in the United States by state In the United States , areas with higher levels of gun ownership also have higher rates of gun assault and gun robbery . U.S. presidential assassinations and attempts ( edit ) Main article : List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots At least eleven assassination attempts with firearms have been made on U.S. presidents ( over one - fifth of all presidents ) ; four were successful , three with handguns and one with a rifle . Abraham Lincoln survived an earlier attack , but was killed using a . 44 - caliber Derringer pistol fired by John Wilkes Booth . James A. Garfield was shot two times and mortally wounded by Charles J. Guiteau using a . 44 - caliber revolver on July 2 , 1881 . He would die of pneumonia the same year on September 19 . On September 6 , 1901 , William McKinley was fatally wounded by Leon Czolgosz when he fired twice at point - blank range using a . 32 - caliber revolver . Despite only being struck by one of the bullets and receiving immediate surgical treatment , McKinley died 8 days later of gangrene infection . John F. Kennedy was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald with a bolt - action rifle on November 22 , 1963 . Andrew Jackson , Harry S. Truman , and Gerald Ford ( the latter twice ) survived assassination attempts involving firearms unharmed . Ronald Reagan was critically wounded in the March 30 , 1981 assassination attempt by John Hinckley , Jr. with a . 22 - caliber revolver . He remains the only U.S. President to survive being shot while in office . Former president Theodore Roosevelt was shot and wounded right before delivering a speech during his 1912 presidential campaign . Despite bleeding from his chest , Roosevelt refused to go to a hospital until he delivered the speech . On February 15 , 1933 , Giuseppe Zangara attempted to assassinate president - elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt , who was giving a speech from his car in Miami , Florida . Although Roosevelt was unharmed , Chicago mayor Anton Cermak died in that attempt , and several other bystanders received non-fatal injuries . Response to these events has resulted in federal legislation to regulate the public possession of firearms . For example , the attempted assassination of Franklin Roosevelt contributed to passage of the National Firearms Act of 1934 , and the Kennedy assassination ( along with others ) resulted in the Gun Control Act of 1968 . The GCA is a federal law signed by President Lyndon Johnson that broadly regulates the firearms industry and firearms owners . It primarily focuses on regulating interstate commerce in firearms by largely prohibiting interstate firearms transfers except among licensed manufacturers , dealers , and importers . The assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan largely contributed to the passage of the Firearm Owners Protection Act in 1986 . Other violent crime ( edit ) A quarter of robberies of commercial premises in the U.S. are committed with guns . Fatalities are three times as likely in robberies committed with guns than where other , or no , weapons are used , with similar patterns in cases of family violence . Criminologist Philip J. Cook hypothesized that if guns were less available , criminals might commit the same crime , but with less - lethal weapons . He finds that the level of gun ownership in the 50 largest U.S. cities correlates with the rate of robberies committed with guns , but not with overall robbery rates . He also finds that robberies in which the assailant uses a gun are more likely to result in the death of the victim , but less likely to result in injury to the victim . A significant number of homicides are the consequence of an unintended escalation of another crime in which firearms are present , with no initial intent to kill . Overall robbery and assault rates in the U.S. are comparable to those in other developed countries , such as Australia and Finland , with much lower levels of gun ownership . A strong association exists between the availability of illegal guns and violent crime rates , but not between legal gun availability and violent crime rates . See also Assault with a deadly weapon Offenders ( edit ) Considering mass shooting alone ( four people shot dead in a public place ) , nearly all were male . About 47 % were white , 12 % black , and 6 % Asian ( 1982 - 2016 ) . However , this definition of `` mass shooting '' is contested by some . The mass shootings have represented 1 % of all deaths using gun between 1980 and 2008 . Vectors ( edit ) In 2015 , Arizona State University researcher Sherry Towers said `` National news media attention is like a ' vector ' that reaches people who are vulnerable . '' She stated that disaffected people can become infected by the attention given other disturbed people who have become mass killers . Victims ( edit ) African Americans were 55 % of the victims of gun homicide in 2010 , but 13 % of the population . Non-Hispanic whites were 25 % of victims but 65 % of the population in 2010 . Hispanics were 17 % of victims and 16 % of the population in 2010 . According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics , from 1980 to 2008 , 84 % of white homicide victims were killed by white offenders and 93 % of black homicide victims were killed by black offenders . Public Policy ( edit ) Main article : Gun politics in the United States Public policy as related to preventing gun violence is an ongoing political and social debate regarding both the restriction and availability of firearms within the United States . Policy at the Federal level is / has been governed by the Second Amendment , National Firearms Act , Gun Control Act of 1968 , Firearm Owners Protection Act , Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act , Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act , and the Domestic Violence Offender Act . Gun policy in the U.S. has been revised many times with acts such as the Firearm Owners Protection Act , which loosened provisions for gun sales while also strengthening automatic firearms law . At the federal , state and local level gun laws such as handgun bans have been overturned by the Supreme Court in cases such as District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago . These cases hold that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm . Columbia v. Heller only addressed the issue on Federal enclaves , while McDonald v. Chicago addressed the issue as relating to the individual states . March on Washington for Gun Control in January 2013 Gun control proponents often cite the relatively high number of homicides committed with firearms as reason to support stricter gun control laws . Firearm laws are a subject of debate in the U.S. , with firearms used for recreational purposes as well as for personal protection . Gun rights advocates cite the use of firearms for self - protection , and to deter violent crime , as reasons why more guns can reduce crime . Gun rights advocates also say criminals are the least likely to obey firearms laws , and so limiting access to guns by law - abiding people makes them more vulnerable to armed criminals . In an interview with Bill Simmons of HBO , President Obama said that gun control would be the `` dominant '' issue on his agenda in his last year of presidency . In a survey of 41 studies , half of the studies found a connection between gun ownership and homicide but these were usually the least rigorous studies . Only six studies controlled at least six statistically significant confounding variables , and none of them showed a significant positive effect . Eleven macro-level studies showed that crime rates increase gun levels ( not vice versa ) . The reason that there is no opposite effect may be that most owners are noncriminals and that they may use guns to prevent violence . Access to firearms ( edit ) The most common type of gun confiscated by police and traced by the ATF are . 38 special revolvers , such as this Smith & Wesson Model 60 . 38 Special revolver with a 3 - inch barrel U.S. policy aims to maintain the right of most people to own most types of firearms , while restricting access to firearms by people considered to present a higher risk of misuse . Gun dealers in the U.S. are prohibited from selling handguns to those under the age of 21 , and long guns to those under the age of 18 . There are also restrictions on selling guns to people not resident in the state . In 2017 , the National Safety Council released a state ranking on firearms access indicators such as background checks , waiting periods , safe storage , training , and sharing of mental health records with the NICS database to restrict firearm access . Assuming access to guns , the top ten guns involved in crime in the U.S. show a definite trend to favor handguns over long guns . The top ten guns used in crime , as reported by the ATF in 1993 , were the Smith & Wesson . 38 Special and . 357 revolvers ; Raven Arms . 25 caliber , Davis P - 380 . 380 caliber , Ruger . 22 caliber , Lorcin L - 380 . 380 caliber , and Smith & Wesson semi-automatic handguns ; Mossberg and Remington 12 gauge shotguns ; and the Tec DC - 9 9 mm handgun . An earlier 1985 study of 1,800 incarcerated felons showed that criminals preferred revolvers and other non-semi - automatic firearms over semi-automatic firearms . In Pittsburgh a change in preferences towards pistols occurred in the early 1990s , coinciding with the arrival of crack cocaine and the rise of violent youth gangs . Background checks in California from 1998 to 2000 resulted in 1 % of sales being initially denied . The types of guns most often denied included semiautomatic pistols with short barrels and of medium caliber . Among juveniles ( minors under the age of 16 , 17 , or 18 , depending on legal jurisdiction ) serving in correctional facilities , 86 % had owned a gun , with 66 % acquiring their first gun by age 14 . There was also a tendency for juvenile offenders to have owned several firearms , with 65 % owning three or more . Juveniles most often acquired guns illegally from family , friends , drug dealers , and street contacts . Inner city youths cited `` self - protection from enemies '' as the top reason for carrying a gun . In Rochester , New York , 22 % of young males have carried a firearm illegally , most for only a short time . There is little overlap between legal gun ownership and illegal gun carrying among youths . Firearms market ( edit ) Source of firearms possessed by Federal inmates , 1997 ATF inspector at a federally licensed gun dealer Gun rights advocates complain that policy aimed at the supply side of the firearms market is based on limited research . One consideration is that only 60 - 70 % of firearms sales in the U.S. are transacted through federally licensed firearm dealers , with the remainder taking place in the `` secondary market '' , in which previously owned firearms are transferred by non-dealers . Access to secondary markets is generally less convenient to purchasers , and involves such risks as the possibility of the gun having been used previously in a crime . Unlicensed private sellers were permitted by law to sell privately owned guns at gun shows or at private locations in 24 states as of 1998 . Regulations that limit the number of handgun sales in the primary , regulated market to one handgun a month per customer have been shown to be effective at reducing illegal gun trafficking by reducing the supply into the secondary market . Taxes on firearm purchases are another means for government to influence the primary market . Criminals tend to obtain guns through multiple illegal pathways , including gun traffickers , who tend to provide criminals with relatively few guns . Federally licensed firearm dealers in the primary ( new and used gun ) market are regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms , and Explosives ( ATF ) . Firearm manufacturers are required to mark all firearms manufactured with serial numbers . This allows the ATF to trace guns involved in crimes back to their last Federal Firearms License ( FFL ) reported change of ownership transaction , although not past the first private sale involving any particular gun . A report by the ATF released in 1999 found that 0.4 % of federally licensed dealers sold half of the guns used criminally in 1996 and 1997 . This is sometimes done through `` straw purchases . '' State laws , such as those in California , that restrict the number of gun purchases in a month may help stem such `` straw purchases . '' States with gun registration and licensing laws are generally less likely to have guns initially sold there used in crimes . Similarly , crime guns tend to travel from states with weak gun laws to states with strict gun laws . An estimated 500,000 guns are stolen each year , becoming available to prohibited users . During the ATF 's Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative ( YCGII ) , which involved expanded tracing of firearms recovered by law enforcement agencies , only 18 % of guns used criminally that were recovered in 1998 were in possession of the original owner . Guns recovered by police during criminal investigations were often sold by legitimate retail sales outlets to legal owners , and then diverted to criminal use over relatively short times ranging from a few months to a few years , which makes them relatively new compared with firearms in general circulation . Federal legislation ( edit ) Main article : Gun law in the United States The first Federal legislation related to firearms was the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution ratified in 1791 . For 143 years , this was the only major Federal legislation regarding firearms . The next Federal firearm legislation was the National Firearms Act of 1934 , which created regulations for the sale of firearms , established taxes on their sale , and required registration of some types of firearms such as machine guns . In the aftermath of the Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. assassinations , the Gun Control Act of 1968 was enacted . This Act regulated gun commerce , restricting mail order sales , and allowing shipments only to licensed firearm dealers . The Act also prohibited sale of firearms to felons , those under indictment , fugitives , illegal aliens , drug users , those dishonorably discharged from the military , and those in mental institutions . The law also restricted importation of so - called Saturday night specials and other types of guns , and limited the sale of automatic weapons and semi-automatic weapon conversion kits . The Firearm Owners Protection Act , also known as the McClure - Volkmer Act , was passed in 1986 . It changed some restrictions in the 1968 Act , allowing federally licensed gun dealers and individual unlicensed private sellers to sell at gun shows , while continuing to require licensed gun dealers to require background checks . The 1986 Act also restricted the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , and Firearms from conducting repetitive inspections , reduced the amount of record - keeping required of gun dealers , raised the burden of proof for convicting gun law violators , and changed restrictions on convicted felons from owning firearms . In the years following the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968 , people buying guns were required to show identification and sign a statement affirming that they were not in any of the prohibited categories . Many states enacted background check laws that went beyond the federal requirements . The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act passed by Congress in 1993 imposed a waiting period before the purchase of a handgun , giving time for , but not requiring , a background check to be made . The Brady Act also required the establishment of a national system to provide instant criminal background checks , with checks to be done by firearms dealers . The Brady Act only applied to people who bought guns from licensed dealers , whereas felons buy some percentage of their guns from black market sources . Restrictions , such as waiting periods , impose costs and inconveniences on legitimate gun purchasers , such as hunters . Semi-automatic versions of the AK - 47 assault rifle were affected under the 1994 ban The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act , enacted in 1994 , included the Federal Assault Weapons Ban , and was a response to public concern over mass shootings . This provision prohibited the manufacture and importation of some semiautomatic firearms with certain features relevant to military use such as a folding stock , pistol grip , flash suppressor , and magazines holding more than ten rounds . A grandfather clause was included that allowed firearms manufactured before 1994 to remain legal . A short - term evaluation by University of Pennsylvania criminologists Christopher S. Koper and Jeffrey A. Roth did not find any clear impact of this legislation on gun violence . Given the short study time period of the evaluation , the National Academy of Sciences advised caution in drawing any conclusions . In September 2004 , the assault weapon ban expired , with its sunset clause . The Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban , the Lautenberg Amendment , prohibited anyone previously convicted of a misdemeanor or felony crime of domestic violence from shipment , transport , ownership and use of guns or ammunition . This law also prohibited the sale or gift of a firearm or ammunition to such a person . It was passed in 1996 , and became effective in 1997 . The law does not exempt people who use firearms as part of their duties , such as police officers or military personnel with applicable criminal convictions ; they may not carry firearms . In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina , police and National Guard units in New Orleans confiscated firearms from private citizens in an attempt to prevent violence . In reaction , Congress passed the Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006 in the form of an amendment to Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act , 2007 . Section 706 of the Act prohibits federal employees and those receiving federal funds from confiscating legally possessed firearms during a disaster . On Jan. 5 , 2016 , President Obama unveiled his new strategy to curb gun violence in America . His proposals focus on new background check requirements that are intended to enhance the effectiveness of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System ( NICS ) , and greater education and enforcement efforts of existing laws at the state level . In an interview with Bill Simmons of HBO , President Obama also confirmed that gun control will be the `` dominant '' issue on his agenda in his last year of presidency . State legislation ( edit ) Main article : Gun laws in the United States ( by state ) Right - to - carry ( edit ) Main articles : Concealed carry in the United States and Open carry in the United States Visitors at a gun show in Houston All 50 U.S. states allow for the Right - to - carry firearms , with forty - two states generally requiring a state - issued permit in order to carry concealed weapons in public and the remaining eight states generally allowing individuals to carry concealed weapons in public without a permit . Right - to - carry laws expanded in the 1990s as homicide rates from gun violence in the U.S. increased , largely in response to incidents such as the Luby 's shooting of 1991 in Texas which directly resulted in the passage of a carrying concealed weapon , or CCW , law in Texas in 1995 . As Rorie Sherman , staff reporter for the National Law Journal wrote in an article published on April 18 , 1994 , `` It is a time of unparalleled desperation about crime . But the mood is decidedly ' I 'll do it myself ' and ' Do n't get in my way . ' '' The result was laws , or the lack thereof , that permitted persons to carry firearms openly , known as open carry , often without any permit required , in 22 states by 1998 . Laws that permitted persons to carry concealed handguns , sometimes termed a concealed handgun license , CHL , or concealed pistol license , CPL in some jurisdictions instead of CCW , existed in 34 states in the U.S. by 2004 . Since then , the number of states with CCW laws has increased ; as of 2014 , all 50 states have some form of CCW laws on the books . Economist John Lott has argued that right - to - carry laws create a perception that more potential crime victims might be carrying firearms , and thus serve as a deterrent against crime . Lott 's study has been criticized for not adequately controlling for other factors , including other state laws also enacted , such as Florida 's laws requiring background checks and waiting period for handgun buyers . When Lott 's data was re-analyzed by some researchers , the only statistically significant effect of concealed - carry laws found was an increase in assaults , with similar findings by Jens Ludwig . Lott and Mustard 's 1997 study has also been criticized by Paul Rubin and Hashem Dezhbakhsh for inappropriately using a dummy variable ; Rubin and Dezhbakhsh reported in a 2003 study that right - to - carry laws have much smaller and more inconsistent effects than those reported by Lott and Mustard , and that these effects are usually not crime - reducing . Since concealed - carry permits are only given to adults , Philip J. Cook suggested that analysis should focus on the relationship with adult and not juvenile gun incident rates . He found no statistically significant effect . A 2004 National Academy of Science survey of existing literature found that the data available `` are too weak to support unambiguous conclusions '' about the impact of right - to - carry laws on rates of violent crime . NAS suggested that new analytical approaches and datasets at the county or local level are needed to adequately evaluate the impact of right - to - carry laws . A 2014 study found that Arizona 's SB 1108 , which allowed adults in the state to concealed carry without a permit and without passing a training course , was associated with an increase in gun - related fatalities . A 2015 NBER working paper found that the apparent effects of RTC laws on crime rates depend significantly on the assumptions made in the analysis . Child access Prevention ( CAP ) ( edit ) Main article : Child access prevention law Child Access Prevention ( CAP ) laws , enacted by many states , require parents to store firearms safely , to minimize access by children to guns , while maintaining ease of access by adults . CAP laws hold gun owners liable should a child gain access to a loaded gun that is not properly stored . The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) claimed that , on average , one child died every three days in accidental incidents in the U.S. from 2000 to 2005 . In most states , CAP law violations are considered misdemeanors . Florida 's CAP law , enacted in 1989 , permits felony prosecution of violators . Research indicates that CAP laws are correlated with a reduction in unintentional gun deaths by 23 % , and gun suicides among those aged 14 through 17 by 11 % . A study by Lott did not detect a relationship between CAP laws and accidental gun deaths or suicides among those age 19 and under between 1979 and 1996 . However , two studies disputed Lott 's findings . A 2008 National Bureau of Economic Research working paper found that CAP laws are correlated with a reduction of non-fatal gun injuries among both children and adults by 30 - 40 % . In 2016 the American Academy of Pediatrics found that safe gun storage laws were associated with lower overall adolescent suicide rates . Research also indicated that CAP laws were most highly correlated with reductions of non-fatal gun injuries in states where violations were considered felonies , whereas in states that considered violations as misdemeanors , the potential impact of CAP laws was not statistically significant . All of these studies were correlational , and do not account for other potential contributing factors . Local restrictions ( edit ) Some local jurisdictions in the U.S. have more restrictive laws , such as Washington , D.C. 's Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 , which banned residents from owning handguns , and required permitted firearms be disassembled and locked with a trigger lock . On March 9 , 2007 , a U.S. Appeals Court ruled the Washington , D.C. handgun ban unconstitutional . The appeal of that case later led to the Supreme Court 's ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller that D.C. 's ban was unconstitutional under the Second Amendment . Despite New York City 's strict gun control laws , guns are often trafficked in from other parts of the U.S. , particularly the southern states . Results from the ATF 's Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative indicate that the percentage of imported guns involved in crimes is tied to the stringency of local firearm laws . Prevention programs ( edit ) Violence prevention and educational programs have been established in many schools and communities across the United States . These programs aim to change personal behavior of both children and their parents , encouraging children to stay away from guns , ensure parents store guns safely , and encourage children to solve disputes without resorting to violence . Programs aimed at altering behavior range from passive ( requiring no effort on the part of the individual ) to active ( supervising children , or placing a trigger lock on a gun ) . The more effort required of people , the more difficult it is to implement a prevention strategy . Prevention strategies focused on modifying the situational environment and the firearm itself may be more effective . Empirical evaluation of gun violence prevention programs has been limited . Of the evaluations that have been done , results indicate such programs have minimal effectiveness . Hotline ( edit ) SPEAK UP is a national youth violence prevention initiative created by The Center to Prevent Youth Violence , which provides young people with tools to improve the safety of their schools and communities . The SPEAK UP program is an anonymous , national hot - line for young people to report threats of violence in their communities or at school . The hot - line is operated in accordance with a protocol developed in collaboration with national education and law enforcement authorities , including the FBI . Trained counselors , with access to translators for 140 languages , collect information from callers and then report the threat to appropriate school and law enforcement officials . Gun safety parent counseling ( edit ) One of the most widely used parent counseling programs is Steps to Prevent Firearm Injury program ( STOP ) , which was developed in 1994 by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence ( the latter of which was then known as the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence ) . STOP was superseded by STOP 2 in 1998 , which has a broader focus including more communities and health care providers . STOP has been evaluated and found not to have a significant effect on gun ownership or firearm storage practices by inner - city parents . Marjorie S. Hardy suggests further evaluation of STOP is needed , as this evaluation had a limited sample size and lacked a control group . A 1999 study found no statistically significant effect of STOP on rates of gun ownership or better gun storage . Children ( edit ) Prevention programs geared towards children have also not been greatly successful . Many inherent challenges arise when working with children , including their tendency to perceive themselves as invulnerable to injury , limited ability to apply lessons learned , their innate curiosity , and peer pressure . The goal of gun safety programs , usually administered by local firearms dealers and shooting clubs , is to teach older children and adolescents how to handle firearms safely . There has been no systematic evaluation of the effect of these programs on children . For adults , no positive effect on gun storage practices has been found as a result of these programs . Also , researchers have found that gun safety programs for children may likely increase a child 's interest in obtaining and using guns , which they can not be expected to use safely all the time , even with training . One approach taken is gun avoidance , such as when encountering a firearm at a neighbor 's home . The Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program , administered by the National Rifle Association ( NRA ) , is geared towards younger children from pre-kindergarten to sixth grade , and teaches kids that real guns are not toys by emphasizing a `` just say no '' approach . The Eddie Eagle program is based on training children in a four - step action to take when they see a firearm : ( 1 ) Stop ! ( 2 ) Do n't touch ! ( 3 ) Leave the area . ( 4 ) Go tell an adult . Materials , such as coloring books and posters , back the lessons up and provide the repetition necessary in any child - education program . The ineffectiveness of the `` just say no '' approach promoted by the NRA 's Eddie the Eagle program was highlighted in an investigative piece by ABC 's Diane Sawyer in 1999 . Sawyer 's piece was based on academic studies conducted by Dr. Marjorie Hardy , assistant professor of psychology at Muhlenberg College in Allentown , Pennsylvania . Dr. Hardy 's study tracked the behavior of elementary age schoolchildren who spent a day learning the Eddie the Eagle four - step action plan from a uniformed police officer . The children were then placed into a playroom which contained a hidden gun . When the children found the gun , they did not run away from the gun , but rather , they inevitably played with it , pulled the trigger while looking into the barrel , or aimed the gun at a playmate and pulled the trigger . The study concluded that children 's natural curiosity was far more powerful than the parental admonition to `` Just say no '' . Community programs ( edit ) Programs targeted at entire communities , such as community revitalization , after - school programs , and media campaigns , may be more effective in reducing the general level of violence that children are exposed to . Community - based programs that have specifically targeted gun violence include Safe Kids / Healthy Neighborhoods Injury Prevention Program in New York City , and Safe Homes and Havens in Chicago . Evaluation of such community - based programs is difficult , due to many confounding factors and the multifaceted nature of such programs . A Chicago - based program , `` BAM '' ( Becoming a Man ) has produced positive results , according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab , and is expanding to Boston in 2017 . Intervention programs ( edit ) Sociologist James D. Wright suggests that to convince inner - city youths not to carry guns `` requires convincing them that they can survive in their neighborhood without being armed , that they can come and go in peace , that being unarmed will not cause them to be victimized , intimidated , or slain . '' Intervention programs , such as CeaseFire Chicago , Operation Ceasefire in Boston and Project Exile in Richmond , Virginia during the 1990s , have been shown to be effective . Other intervention strategies , such as gun `` buy - back '' programs have been demonstrated to be ineffective . Gun buyback programs ( edit ) Main article : Gun buyback program Gun `` buyback '' programs are a strategy aimed at influencing the firearms market by taking guns `` off the streets '' . Gun `` buyback '' programs have been shown to be effective to prevent suicides , but ineffective to prevent homicides with the National Academy of Sciences citing theory underlying these programs as `` badly flawed . '' Guns surrendered tend to be those least likely to be involved in crime , such as old , malfunctioning guns with little resale value , muzzleloading or other black - powder guns , antiques chambered for obsolete cartridges that are no longer commercially manufactured or sold , or guns that individuals inherit but have little value in possessing . Other limitations of gun buyback programs include the fact that it is relatively easy to obtain gun replacements , often of better guns than were relinquished in the buyback . Also , the number of handguns used in crime ( approximately 7,500 per year ) is very small compared to the approximately 70 million handguns in the U.S.. ( i.e. , 0.011 % ) . `` Gun bounty '' programs launched in several Florida cities have shown more promise . These programs involve cash rewards for anonymous tips about illegal weapons that lead to an arrest and a weapons charge . Since its inception in May 2007 , the Miami program has led to 264 arrests and the confiscation of 432 guns owned illegally and $2.2 million in drugs , and has solved several murder and burglary cases . Operation Ceasefire ( edit ) In 1995 , Operation Ceasefire was established as a strategy for addressing youth gun violence in Boston . Violence was particularly concentrated in poor , inner - city neighborhoods including Roxbury , Dorchester , and Mattapan . There were 22 youths ( under the age of 24 ) killed in Boston in 1987 , with that figure rising to 73 in 1990 . Operation Ceasefire entailed a problem - oriented policing approach , and focused on specific places that were crime hot spots -- two strategies that when combined have been shown to be quite effective . Particular focus was placed on two elements of the gun violence problem , including illicit gun trafficking and gang violence . Within two years of implementing Operation Ceasefire in Boston , the number of youth homicides dropped to ten , with only one handgun - related youth homicide occurring in 1999 and 2000 The Operation Ceasefire strategy has since been replicated in other cities , including Los Angeles . Erica Bridgeford , spearheaded a `` 72 - hour ceasefire '' in August 2017 , but the ceasefire was broken with a homicide . Councilman Brandon Scott , Mayor Catherine Pugh and others talked of community policing models that might work for Baltimore . Project Exile ( edit ) Federally supported gun violence intervention program Project Exile , conducted in Richmond , Virginia during the 1990s , was a coordinated effort involving federal , state , and local officials that targeted gun violence . The strategy entailed prosecution of gun violations in Federal courts , where sentencing guidelines were tougher . Project Exile also involved outreach and education efforts through media campaigns , getting the message out about the crackdown . Research analysts offered different opinions as to the program 's success in reducing gun crime . Authors of a 2003 analysis of the program argued that the decline in gun homicide was part of a `` general regression to the mean '' across U.S. cities with high homicide rates . Authors of a 2005 study disagreed , concluding that Richmond 's gun homicide rate fell more rapidly than the rates in other large U.S. cities with other influences controlled . Project Safe Neighborhoods ( edit ) Project Safe Neighborhoods ( PSN ) is a national strategy for reducing gun violence that builds on the strategies implemented in Operation Ceasefire and Project Exile . PSN was established in 2001 , with support from the Bush administration , channelled through the United States Attorney 's Offices in the United States Department of Justice . The Federal government has spent over US $ 1.5 billion since the program 's inception on the hiring of prosecutors , and providing assistance to state and local jurisdictions in support of training and community outreach efforts . Americans for responsible Solutions ( edit ) Main article : Americans for Responsible Solutions Americans for Responsible Solutions was started in January 2013 as a not - for - profit organization whose mission is to `` encourage elected officials to stand up for solutions to prevent gun violence and protect responsible gun ownership by communicating directly with the constituents that elect them . '' The organization was announced on January 8 , 2013 by Gabrielle `` Gabby '' Giffords , a former Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives for Arizona 's 8th congressional district , and Mark Kelly , a retired American astronaut . In an op - ed published in USA Today , Gifford and Kelly referred to the NRA lobby and sought to counter it by creating a lobby dedicated to responsible gun control measures . Research limitations ( edit ) In the United States , research into firearms and violent crime is fraught with difficulties , associated with limited data on gun ownership and use , firearms markets , and aggregation of crime data . Research studies into gun violence have primarily taken one of two approaches : case - control studies and social ecology . Gun ownership is usually determined through surveys , proxy variables , and sometimes with production and import figures . In statistical analysis of homicides and other types of crime which are rare events , these data tend to have poisson distributions , which also presents methodological challenges to researchers . With data aggregation , it is difficult to make inferences about individual behavior . This problem , known as ecological fallacy , is not always handled properly by researchers ; this leads some to jump to conclusions that their data do not necessarily support . In 1996 the NRA lobbied Congressman Jay Dickey ( R - Ark . ) to include budget provisions that prohibited the Centers for Disease Control ( CDC ) from advocating or promoting gun control and that deleted $2.6 million from the CDC budget , the exact amount the CDC had spent on firearms research the previous year . The ban was later extended to all research funded by the Department of Health and Human Services ( DHHS ) . According to an article in Nature , this made gun research more difficult , reduced the number of studies , and discouraged researchers from even talking about gun violence at medical and scientific conferences . In 2013 , after the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting , President Barack Obama ordered the CDC to resume funding research on gun violence and prevention , and put $10 million in the 2014 budget request for it . Prior to this , U.S. public funding directed towards gun violence prevention was less than $2 million annually , a disproportionately low total compared to public funding totals for other leading public health burdens with respect to potential years of life lost .

8191315791965178010 | Right to Information Act, 2005 | Right to Information Act , 2005 - Wikipedia Right to Information Act , 2005 Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the Indian federal law . For freedom of information in other countries , see Freedom of information legislation . Right to Information Act , 2005 It is an act to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to under control of public authorities , in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority , the constitution of a Central Information Commission and State Information Commissions and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto . Citation Act No. 22 of 2005 Territorial extent Whole of India except Jammu and Kashmir Enacted by Parliament of India Date enacted 15 - June - 2005 Date assented to 22 - June - 2005 Date commenced 12 - October - 2005 Status : In force A receipt for payment of fee for collecting information under RTI act Right to Information ( RTI ) is an Act of the Parliament of India to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens and replaces the erstwhile Freedom of information Act , 2002 . Under the provisions of the Act , any citizen of India may request information from a `` public authority '' ( a body of Government or `` instrumentality of State '' ) which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days . The Act also requires every public authority to computerise their records for wide dissemination and to proactively certain categories of information so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally . This law was passed by Parliament on 15 June 2005 and came fully into force on 12 October 2005 . The first RTI application was filed at a police station in Pune by Shahid Raza Burney . The first RTI application in Delhi was filed to the office of President about article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir . Every day , over 4800 RTI applications are filed . In the first ten years of the commencement of the act over 17,500,000 applications have been filed . Information disclosure in India is restricted by the Official Secrets Act 1923 and various other special laws , which the new RTI Act relaxes . Right to Information codifies a fundamental right of the citizens of India . Contents ( hide ) 1 Scope 1.1 Private bodies 1.2 Political parties 2 Governance and Process 2.1 Fees 3 Controversies 3.1 Digital Right to Information System 3.2 Activism around an efficient Right to Information 3.3 Attacks on RTI Activists and Protection Suggestions 3.4 Intellectual Property Rights 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Scope ( edit ) The Act covers the whole of India except Jammu and Kashmir , where J&K Right to Information Act is in force . It covers all the constitutional authorities , including executive , legislature and judiciary ; any institution or body established or constituted by an act of Parliament or a state legislature . It is also defined in the Act that bodies or authorities established or constituted by order or notification of appropriate government including bodies `` owned , controlled or substantially financed '' by government , or non-Government organizations `` substantially financed , directly or indirectly by funds '' . Private bodies ( edit ) Private bodies are not within the Act 's ambit directly . In a decision of Sarbjit roy vs Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission , the Central Information Commission also reaffirmed that privatised public utility companies fall within the purview of RTI . As of 2014 , private institutions and NGOs receiving over 95 % of their infrastructure funds from the government come under the Act . Political parties ( edit ) The Central Information Commission ( CIC ) held that the political parties are public authorities and are answerable to citizens under the RTI Act . The CIC said that six national parties - Congress , BJP , NCP , CPI ( M ) , CPI and BSP and BJD - has been substantially funded indirectly by the Central Government and have the character of public authorities under the RTI Act as they perform public functions . But in August 2013 the government introduced a Right To Information ( Amendment ) Bill which would remove political parties from the scope of the law . Governance and process ( edit ) The Right to information in India is governed by two major bodies : Central Information Commission ( CIC ) -- Chief Information commissioner who heads all the central departments and ministries - with their own public Information officers ( PIO ) s . CICs are directly under the President of India . State Information Commissions - State Public Information Officers or SPIOs -- Heading over all the state department and ministries the SPIO office is directly under the State Governor . State and Central Information Commissions are independent bodies and Central Information Commission has no jurisdiction over the State Information Commission . Fees ( edit ) A citizen who desires to seek some information from a public authority is required to send , along with the application ( a Postal order or DD ( Demand draft ) or a bankers cheque ) payable to the Accounts Officer of the public authority as fee prescribed for seeking information . If the person is from a disadvantaged community , he / she need not pay . The applicant may also be required to pay further fee towards the cost of providing the information , details of which shall be intimated to the applicant by the PIO as prescribed by the RTI ACT Controversies ( edit ) The Right to information in India has been mired with controversies ranging from their use in political battles , asking for educational degrees of political rivals , or cases of blatant refusals to provide information on high profile projects to allegations of misuse by civil society . Digital Right to Information System ( edit ) A digital portal has been set up , RTI Portal , a gateway to the citizens for quick search of information on the details of first Appellate Authorities , PIOs etc. amongst others , besides access to RTI related information / disclosures published on the web by various Public Authorities under the government of India as well as the State Governments . It is an initiative taken by Department of Personnel and Training , Ministry of Personnel , Public Grievances and Pensions to provide a RTI Portal Gateway to the citizens for quick search of information on the details of first Appellate Authorities , PIOs etc. amongst others , besides access to RTI related information / disclosures published on the web by various Public Authorities under the Government of India as well as the State Governments . Though there are recent efforts on digital governance , Right to Information implementation has seen a digitalisation neglect even after 11 years of its enactment . A recent research on ' BallotBoxIndia ' outlines that though central ministries are covered by a single Digital window to file Right to Information requests with integrated payment gateways and tracking mechanism none of the states have yet came forward to implement their versions or use the existing Right to Information Digital Infrastructure . The research report covering 29 states and union territories also highlights the responses from the SPIOs ( State Public Information Officers ) . Researchers in the study focussed on the Digital implementation and asked about plans or timeline to provide such facility . 64 % State Public Information failed to respond while the rest of the responses merely took cognizance without any hard timelines . The research also covers in details - the difficulty in filing manual Right to Information requests with the states with delays ranging many months of wait time and various follow ups and rejections . Every state in India has different rules and fee structures to file an application through registered post without any tracking mechanism as covered in details in the report . Activism around an efficient Right to Information ( edit ) Researchers and activists have been proposing changes to make the process easier , efficient and meaningful . One of it demands state and central information systems under one Digital System to streamline information flow and provide proactive information backed by streamlined mandatory reporting . Right to Information ( RTI Act 2005 ) - One RTI campaign flyer started by ballotboxIndia researchers after doing a survey with 28 states SPIOs and Central CIC . The Right to information ( RTI Act 2005 ) was touted as one law which would bring in transparency and eradicate corruption by civil society direct involvement . Failure to implement it in a thoroughly and efficiently has led to rough loss estimate of $245 million yearly as per one estimate . India being a federal state has many items in concurrent list and projects have multiple departments working on them , and sometimes projects are moved from one department to another . With Central and State information commissions working in such a disconnect , and manual transfers of the request for information between departments lead to big delays , confusion , and loss of traceability . It not only denies timely information , creates high barriers to information only a few with very strong motivations and means can cross , but puts a common citizen at the risk by exposing them directly to the departments and agencies which they are trying to find information on . Digital RTI Mission was initiated by a policy think tank based in Kochi ( CPPR ) to make Kerala the first RTI digital state in India . Attacks on RTI activists and protection suggestions ( edit ) Main article : Attacks on RTI activists in India Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative ( CHRI ) data points to over 310 cases across India where people were either attacked , murdered , physically or mentally harassed or had their property damaged because of the information they sought under RTI . The data throws up over 50 alleged murders and two suicides that were directly linked with RTI applications filed . There is a consensus felt that there is a need to amend the RTI Act to provide for the protection of those seeking information under the Act . The Asian Centre for Human Rights recommends that a separate chapter , `` Protection of those seeking information under the ( RTI ) Act '' , be inserted into the Act . Protection measures suggested include : Mandatory , immediate registration of complaints of threats or attacks against RTI activists on the First Information Report and placing such FIRs before the magistrate or judge of the area within 24 hours for issuance of directions for protection of those under threats and their family members , and periodic review of such protection measures Conducting inquiry into threats or attacks by a police officer not below the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police / Assistant Commissioner of Police to be concluded within 90 days and we also use RTI and get it 's benefit . Intellectual Property Rights ( edit ) Many civil society members have recently alleged the subversion of the right to information Act by the invocation of Intellectual Property rights argument by the government agencies from time to time . Most notable are : The Right to Information denied by RBI on Demonetization citing Intellectual Property Laws . The Right to Information Denied by Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department after more than 8 months of a wait on under construction Gomti Riverfront Development Project . A group of researchers requested for environment Impact and Project Report on the project which is flagged for negative impacts , tax money wastage by environmental scientists and research reports .

6192641272820938257 | Blood test | Blood test - wikipedia Blood test For the novel by Jonathan Kellerman , see Blood Test ( novel ) . Modern hospital hematology laboratory A blood test is a laboratory analysis performed on a blood sample that is usually extracted from a vein in the arm using a hypodermic needle , or via fingerprick . Multiple tests for specific blood components , such as a glucose test or a cholesterol test , are often grouped together into one test panel called a blood panel or blood work . Blood tests are often used in health care to determine physiological and biochemical states , such as disease , mineral content , pharmaceutical drug effectiveness , and organ function . Typical clinical blood panels include a basic metabolic panel or a complete blood count . Blood tests are also used in drug tests to detect drug abuse . In some of the United States , a blood test is required before marriage . Contents 1 Extraction 2 Types of tests 2.1 Biochemical analysis 2.1. 1 Normal ranges 2.1. 2 Common abbreviations 2.2 Molecular profiles 2.3 Cellular evaluation 3 Future alternatives 3.1 Saliva tests 3.2 Microemulsion 3.3 SIMBAS 4 See also 5 References Extraction ( edit ) A venipuncture performed using a vacutainer Venipuncture is useful as it is a minimally invasive way to obtain cells and extracellular fluid ( plasma ) from the body for analysis . Blood flows throughout the body , acting as a medium which provides oxygen and nutrients to tissues and carries waste products back to the excretory systems for disposal . Consequently , the state of the bloodstream affects , or is affected by , many medical conditions . For these reasons , blood tests are the most commonly performed medical tests . If only a few drops of blood are needed , a fingerstick is performed instead of drawing blood from a vein . Phlebotomists , laboratory practitioners and nurses are those charged with patient blood extraction . However , in special circumstances , and emergency situations , paramedics and physicians sometimes extract blood . Also , respiratory therapists are trained to extract arterial blood to examine arterial blood gases . Types of tests ( edit ) Vacutainer tubes used in the collection of blood . During venipuncture , pressure differences between the vein and the vacuum in the Vacutainer forces blood into the tube . Biochemical analysis ( edit ) A basic metabolic panel measures sodium , potassium , chloride , bicarbonate , blood urea nitrogen ( BUN ) , magnesium , creatinine , glucose , and sometimes calcium . Tests focusing on cholesterol levels can determine LDL and HDL cholesterol levels , as well as triglyceride levels . Some tests , such as those that measure glucose or a lipid profile , require fasting ( or no food consumption ) eight to twelve hours prior to the drawing of the blood sample . For the majority of tests , blood is usually obtained from the patient 's vein . Other specialized tests , such as the arterial blood gas test , require blood extracted from an artery . Blood gas analysis of arterial blood is primarily used to monitor carbon dioxide and oxygen levels related to pulmonary function , but is also used to measure blood pH and bicarbonate levels for certain metabolic conditions . While the regular glucose test is taken at a certain point in time , the glucose tolerance test involves repeated testing to determine the rate at which glucose is processed by the body . Normal ranges ( edit ) Main article : Reference ranges for blood tests Blood tests results should always be interpreted using the ranges provided by the laboratory that performed the test . Example ranges are shown below . Test Low High Unit Comments Sodium ( Na ) 134 145 mmol / L Potassium ( K ) 3.5 5.0 mmol / L Urea 2.5 6.4 mmol / L Blood urea nitrogen Urea 15 40 mg / dL Creatinine - male 62 115 μmol / L Creatinine - female 53 97 μmol / L Creatinine - male 0.7 1.3 mg / dL Creatinine - female 0.6 mg / dL Glucose ( fasting ) 3.9 5.8 mmol / L See also glycated hemoglobin Glucose ( fasting ) 70 120 mg / dL Common abbreviations ( edit ) Upon completion of a blood test analysis , patients may receive a report with blood test abbreviations . Examples of common blood test abbreviations are shown below . Abbreviation Stands for Description HDL High Density Lipoprotein Level of `` good cholesterol '' in the blood ( ratio of HDL : LDL is usually more significant than actual values ) LDL Low Density Lipoprotein Level of `` bad cholesterol '' in the blood ( ratio of HDL : LDL is usually more significant than actual values ) CRP C - Reactive Protein Level of inflammation with the body . If the immune system is fighting an infection or illness , CRP will be higher . CBC ( UK : FBC ) Complete Blood Count ( UK : Full Blood Count ) Analysis of 15 different blood test readings to provide information about overall health . TSH Thyroid - stimulating hormone Thyroid regulates the function of metabolism . Low levels can lead to weight loss , while high levels lead to weight gain . ESR Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Indicates the time it takes for red blood cells to move down a tube . This shows signs of inflammation within a body . INR International Normalized Ratio This is a blood clotting test . LFT Liver Function Test This test reveals the levels of waste products , enzymes and proteins that are processed by the liver . U + E Urea and Electrolytes This test is performed to measure the function of kidney . CMP Comprehensive Metabolic Panel This analysis provides an overall picture of the metabolism and chemical balance of the body . WBC White Blood Cell Count The level of white blood cells . RBC Red Blood Cell Count The level of red blood cells . HBC Hemoglobin Level of hemoglobin molecules . HCT Hematocrit Similar to RBC but in percentage . PLT Platelets Platelets levels in the blood . Molecular profiles ( edit ) Protein electrophoresis ( general technique -- not a specific test ) Western blot ( general technique -- not a specific test ) Liver function tests Polymerase chain reaction ( DNA ) . DNA profiling is today possible with even very small quantities of blood : this is commonly used in forensic science , but is now also part of the diagnostic process of many disorders . Northern blot ( RNA ) Sexually transmitted diseases Cellular evaluation ( edit ) Full blood count ( or `` complete blood count '' ) Hematocrit MCV ( `` mean corpuscular volume '' ) Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration ( MCHC ) Erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR ) Cross-matching . Determination of blood type for blood transfusion or transplants Blood cultures are commonly taken if infection is suspected . Positive cultures and resulting sensitivity results are often useful in guiding medical treatment . Future alternatives ( edit ) Saliva tests ( edit ) In 2008 , scientists announced that the more cost effective saliva testing could eventually replace some blood tests , as saliva contains 20 % of the proteins found in blood . Microemulsion ( edit ) In February 2011 , Canadian researchers at the University of Calgary 's Schulich School of Engineering announced a microchip for blood tests . Dubbed a microemulsion , a droplet of blood captured inside a layer of another substance . It can control the exact size and spacing of the droplets . The new test could improve the efficiency , accuracy and speed of laboratory tests while also doing it cheaply . The microchip costs $25 , whereas the robotic dispensers currently in use cost around $10,000 . SIMBAS ( edit ) March 2011 : A team of researchers from UC Berkeley , DCU and University of Valparaíso have developed lab - on - a-chip that can diagnose diseases within 10 minutes without the use of external tubing and extra components . It is called Self - powered Integrated Microfluidic Blood Analysis System ( SIMBAS ) . It uses tiny trenches to separate blood cells from plasma ( 99 percent of blood cells were captured during experiments ) . Researchers used plastic components , to reduce manufacturing costs .

Blood gas analysis of arterial blood is primarily used to monitor carbon dioxide and oxygen levels related to pulmonary function, but is also used to measure blood pH and bicarbonate levels for certain metabolic conditions.[7]\n"

For information on the franchise in general , see Los Angeles Dodgers . Brooklyn Dodgers Team Photograph , 1913 The Brooklyn Dodgers was an American Major League baseball team , active primarily in the National League from 1884 until 1957 , after which the club moved to Los Angeles , where it continues its history as the Los Angeles Dodgers . The team 's name derived from the reputed skill of Brooklyn residents at evading the city 's trolley streetcar network . The Dodgers played in two stadiums in South Brooklyn , each named Washington Park , and at Eastern Park in the neighborhood of Brownsville before moving to Ebbets Field in the neighborhood of Flatbush in 1913 . The team is noted for signing Jackie Robinson in 1947 as the first black player in the modern major leagues .

Eight of 16 participants in the first convention were from Brooklyn , including the Atlantic , Eckford , and Excelsior clubs that combined to dominate play for most of the 1860s . Brooklyn helped make baseball commercial , as the locale of the first paid admission games , a series of three all star contests matching New York and Brooklyn in 1858 . Brooklyn also featured the first two enclosed baseball grounds , the Union Grounds and the Capitoline Grounds ; enclosed , dedicated ballparks accelerated the evolution from amateurism to professionalism . Despite the early success of Brooklyn clubs in the National Association of Base Ball Players , officially amateur until 1869 , they fielded weak teams in the succeeding National Association of Professional Base Ball Players , the first professional league formed in 1871 . The Excelsiors no longer challenged for the amateur championship after the Civil War and never entered the professional NA . The Eckfords and Atlantics declined to join until 1872 and thereby lost their best players ; the Eckfords survived only one season and the Atlantics four , with losing teams . The National League replaced the NA in 1876 and granted exclusive territories to its eight members , excluding the Atlantics in favor of the New York Mutuals who had shared home grounds with the Atlantics . When the Mutuals were expelled by the league , the Hartford Dark Blues club moved in , changed its name to The Brooklyn Hartfords and played its home games at Union Grounds in 1877 before disbanding . The origin of the Dodgers ( edit ) The team currently known as the Dodgers was formed as the Brooklyn Grays in 1883 by real estate magnate and baseball enthusiast Charles Byrne , who convinced his brother - in - law Joseph Doyle and casino operator Ferdinand Abell to start the team with him . Byrne arranged to build a grandstand on a lot bounded by Third Street , Fourth Avenue , Fifth Street , and Fifth Avenue , and named it Washington Park in honor of George Washington . The Grays played in the minor Inter-State Association of Professional Baseball Clubs that first season . Doyle became the first team manager , and they drew 6,431 fans to their first home game on May 12 , 1883 against the Trenton team . The Grays won the league title after the Camden Merritt club disbanded on July 20 and Brooklyn picked up some of its better players . The Grays were invited to join the American Association for the 1884 season . After winning the American Association league championship in 1889 , the Grays ( by then nicknamed the Bridegrooms ) moved to the National League and won the 1890 NL Championship , the only Major League team to win consecutive championships in both professional `` base ball '' leagues . They lost the 1889 World Series to the New York Giants and tied the 1890 World Series with the Louisville Colonels . Their success during this period was partly attributed to their having absorbed skilled players from the defunct New York Metropolitans and Brooklyn Ward 's Wonders . In 1899 , most of the original Baltimore Orioles stars moved to the Grays ( Bridegrooms ) along with Orioles manager Ned Hanlon who became the club 's new manager under Charles Ebbets , who had by now accumulated an 80 % share of the club . The new combined team was dubbed the `` Superbas '' by the press and would become the champions of the National League in 1899 and again in 1900 . Nicknames ( edit ) Logo of the Brooklyn Dodgers / Superbas from 1910 through 1913 The team name , Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers , was coined in 1895 . The nickname was still new enough in September 1895 that a newspaper could report that `` ' Trolley Dodgers ' is the new name which eastern baseball cranks ( fans ) have given the Brooklyn club . '' In 1895 , Brooklyn played at Eastern Park , bounded by Eastern Parkway ( now Pitkin Avenue ) , Powell Street , Sutter Avenue , Van Sinderen Street , where they had moved early in the 1891 season when the second Washington Park burned down . Some sources erroneously report that the name `` Trolley Dodgers '' referred to pedestrians avoiding fast cars on street car tracks that bordered Eastern Park on two sides . However , Eastern Park was not bordered by street - level trolley lines that had to be `` dodged '' by pedestrians . The name `` Trolley Dodgers '' implied the dangers posed by trolley cars in Brooklyn generally , which in 1892 , began the switch from horse - power to electrical power , which made them much faster , and were hence regarded as more dangerous . The name was later shortened to Brooklyn Dodgers . The `` Trolley Dodgers '' name was later adopted by the team for the 1911 and 1912 seasons , and the `` Dodgers '' name was used in 1913 . Other team names used by the franchise that finally came to be called `` the Dodgers '' were the Atlantics ( 1884 , not directly related to the earlier Brooklyn Atlantics ) , Bridegrooms or Grooms ( 1888 - 1898 ) , Ward 's Wonders , the Superbas ( 1899 - 1910 ) , and the Robins ( 1914 - 1931 ) . All of these nicknames were used by fans and newspaper sports writers to describe the team , often concurrently , but not in any official capacity . The team 's legal name was the Brooklyn Base Ball Club . However , the `` Trolley Dodgers '' nickname was used throughout this period , along with other nicknames , by fans and sports writers of the day . The team did not use the name in a formal sense until 1932 , when the word `` Dodgers '' appeared on team jerseys . The `` conclusive shift '' came in 1933 , when both home and road jerseys for the team bore the name `` Dodgers '' . Examples of how the many popularized names of the team were used interchangeably are available from newspaper articles from the period before 1932 . A New York Times article describing a game the Dodgers played in 1916 starts out by referring to how `` Jimmy Callahan , pilot of the Pirates , did his best to wreck the hopes the Dodgers have of gaining the National League pennant '' , but then goes on to comment , `` the only thing that saved the Superbas from being toppled from first place was that the Phillies lost one of the two games played . '' Most baseball statistics sites and baseball historians generally now refer to the pennant - winning 1916 Brooklyn team as the Robins . A 1918 New York Times article used the nickname Robins in its title `` Buccaneers Take Last From Robins '' , but the subtitle of the article reads `` Subdue The Superbas By 11 To 4 , Making Series An Even Break '' . Another example of the interchangeability of different nicknames is found on the program issued at Ebbets Field for the 1920 World Series , which identifies the matchup in the series as `` Dodgers vs. Indians '' , despite the fact that the Robins nickname had been in consistent usage at this point for around six years . Rivalry with the Giants ( edit ) Main article : Dodgers -- Giants rivalry The historic and heated rivalry between the Dodgers and the Giants is more than a century old . It began when the Dodgers and Giants faced each other in the 1889 World Series , the ancestor of the Subway Series , and both played in separate cities ( the Dodgers in Brooklyn and the Giants in New York City Manhattan ) . When both franchises moved to California after the 1957 season , the rivalry was easily transplanted , as the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco have long been rivals in economics , culture , and politics . `` Uncle Robbie '' and the `` Daffiness Boys '' ( edit ) Manager Wilbert Robinson , another former Oriole , popularly known as `` Uncle Robbie '' , restored the Brooklyn team to respectability . His `` Brooklyn Robins '' reached the 1916 and 1920 World Series , losing both , but contending perennially for several seasons . Charles Ebbets and Ed McKeever died within a week of each other in 1925 , and Robbie was named president while still field manager . Upon assuming the title of president , however , Robinson 's ability to focus on the field declined , and the teams of the late 1920s were often fondly referred to as the `` Daffiness Boys '' for their distracted , error - ridden style of play . Outfielder Babe Herman was the leader both in hitting and in zaniness . The signature Dodger play from this era occurred when three players -- Dazzy Vance , Chick Fewster , and Herman -- ended up at third base at the same time . ( The play is often remembered as Herman `` tripling into a triple play '' , though only two of the three players were declared out and Herman was credited with a double rather than a triple . ) Herman later complained that no one remembered that he drove in the winning run on the play . The incident led to the popular joke : `` The Dodgers have three men on base ! '' `` Oh , yeah ? Which base ? '' After his removal as club president , Robinson returned to managing , and the club 's performance rebounded somewhat . When Robinson retired in 1931 , he was replaced as manager by Max Carey . Although some suggested renaming the `` Robins '' the `` Brooklyn Canaries '' , after Carey , whose last name was originally `` Carnarius '' , the name `` Brooklyn Dodgers '' returned to stay following Robinson 's retirement . It was during this era that Willard Mullin , a noted sports cartoonist , fixed the Brooklyn team with the lovable nickname of `` Dem Bums '' . After hearing his cab driver ask , `` So how did those bums do today ? '' , Mullin decided to sketch an exaggerated version of famed circus clown Emmett Kelly to represent the Dodgers in his much - praised cartoons in the New York World - Telegram . Both image and nickname caught on , so much so that many a Dodger yearbook cover , from 1951 through 1957 , featured a Willard Mullin illustration of the Brooklyn Bum . Perhaps the highlight of the Daffiness Boys era came after Wilbert Robinson left the dugout . In 1934 , Giants player / manager Bill Terry was asked about the Dodgers ' chances in the coming pennant race and cracked infamously , `` Is Brooklyn still in the league ? '' Managed then by Casey Stengel , who played for the Dodgers in the 1910s and went on to greatness managing the New York Yankees , the 1934 Dodgers were determined to make their presence felt . As it happened , the season entered its final games with the Giants tied with the St. Louis Cardinals for the pennant , with the Giants ' remaining games against the Dodgers . Stengel led his Bums to the Polo Grounds for the showdown , and they beat the Giants twice to knock them out of the pennant race . The `` Gashouse Gang '' Cardinals nailed the pennant by beating the Cincinnati Reds those same two days . One key development during this era was the 1938 appointment of Leland `` Larry '' MacPhail as Dodgers ' general manager . MacPhail , who brought night games to Major League Baseball as general manager of the Reds , also started night baseball in Brooklyn and ordered the successful refurbishing of Ebbets Field . He also brought Reds voice Red Barber to Brooklyn as the Dodgers ' lead announcer in 1939 , just after MacPhail broke the New York baseball executives ' agreement to ban live baseball broadcasts , enacted because of the fear of the effect of radio calls on the home teams ' attendance . MacPhail remained with the Dodgers until 1942 , when he returned to the Armed Forces for World War II . He later became one of the Yankees ' co-owners , bidding unsuccessfully for Barber to join him in the Bronx as announcer . The first major - league baseball game to be televised was Brooklyn 's 6 -- 1 victory over Cincinnati at Ebbets Field on August 26 , 1939 . Batting helmets were introduced to Major League Baseball by the Dodgers in 1941 . Breaking the color barrier ( edit ) Jackie Robinson . For most of the first half of the 20th century , no Major League Baseball team employed a black player . A parallel system of Negro Leagues developed , but most of the Negro League players were denied a chance to prove their skill before a national audience . Jackie Robinson became the first African - American to play Major League baseball in the 20th Century when he played his first major league game on April 15 , 1947 as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers . Robinson 's entry into the league was mainly due to General Manager Branch Rickey 's efforts . The deeply religious Rickey 's motivation appears to have been primarily moral , although business considerations were also present . Rickey was a member of the Methodist Church , the antecedent denomination to the United Methodist Church of today , which was a strong advocate for social justice and active later in the Civil Rights Movement . Besides selecting Robinson for his exceptional baseball skills , Rickey also considered Robinson 's outstanding personal character , his UCLA education and rank of captain in the U.S. Army in his decision , since he knew that boos , taunts , and criticism was going to be directed at Robinson , and that Robinson had to be tough enough to withstand abuse without attempting to retaliate . The inclusion of Robinson on the team also led the Dodgers to move its spring training site . Prior to 1946 , the Dodgers held their spring training in Jacksonville , Florida . However , the city 's stadium refused to host an exhibition game with the Montreal Royals -- the Dodgers ' own farm club -- on whose roster Robinson appeared at the time , citing segregation laws . Nearby Sanford similarly declined . Ultimately , City Island Ballpark in Daytona Beach agreed to host the game with Robinson on the field . The team traveled to Havana , Cuba for spring training in 1947 , this time with Robinson on the big club . Although the Dodgers ultimately built Dodgertown and its Holman Stadium further south in Vero Beach , and played there for 61 spring training seasons from 1948 through 2008 , Daytona Beach renamed City Island Ballpark to Jackie Robinson Ballpark in his honor . This event marked the continuation of the integration of professional sports in the United States , with professional football having led the way in 1946 , with the concomitant demise of the Negro Leagues , and is regarded as a key moment in the history of the American civil rights movement . Robinson was an exceptional player , a speedy runner who sparked the team with his intensity . He was the inaugural recipient of the Rookie of the Year award , which is now named the Jackie Robinson award in his honor . The Dodgers ' willingness to integrate , when most other teams refused to , was a key factor in their 1947 -- 1956 success . They won six pennants in those 10 years with the help of Robinson , three - time MVP Roy Campanella , Cy Young Award winner Don Newcombe , Jim Gilliam , and Joe Black . Robinson eventually became the first African - American elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962 . `` Wait ' til next year ! '' ( edit ) After the wilderness years of the 1920s and 1930s , the Dodgers were rebuilt into a contending club first by general manager Larry MacPhail and then the legendary Branch Rickey . Led by Jackie Robinson , Pee Wee Reese , and Gil Hodges in the infield , Duke Snider and Carl Furillo in the outfield , Roy Campanella behind the plate , and Don Newcombe , Carl Erskine , and Preacher Roe on the pitcher 's mound , the Dodgers won pennants in 1941 , 1947 , 1949 , 1952 , and 1953 , only to fall to the New York Yankees in all five of the subsequent World Series . The annual ritual of building excitement , followed in the end by disappointment , became a common pattern to the long suffering fans , and `` Wait ' til next year ! '' became an unofficial Dodger slogan . While the Dodgers generally enjoyed success during this period , in 1951 they fell victim to one of the largest collapses in the history of baseball . On August 11 , 1951 , Brooklyn led the National League by an enormous 131⁄2 games over their archrivals , the Giants . While the Dodgers went 26 -- 22 from that time until the end of the season , the Giants went on an absolute tear , winning an amazing 37 of their last 44 games , including their last seven in a row . At the end of the season the Dodgers and the Giants were tied for first place , forcing a three - game playoff for the pennant . The Giants took Game 1 by a score of 3 -- 1 before being shut out by the Dodgers ' Clem Labine in Game 2 , 10 -- 0 . It all came down to the final game , and Brooklyn seemed to have the pennant locked up , holding a 4 -- 2 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning . Giants outfielder Bobby Thomson , however , hit a stunning three - run walk - off home run off the Dodgers ' Ralph Branca to secure the NL Championship for New York . To this day Thomson 's home run is known as the Shot Heard ' Round The World . In 1955 , by which time the core of the Dodger team was beginning to age , `` next year '' finally came . The fabled `` Boys of Summer '' shot down the `` Bronx Bombers '' in seven games , led by the first - class pitching of young left - hander Johnny Podres , whose key pitch was a changeup known as `` pulling down the lampshade '' because of the arm motion used right when the ball was released . Podres won two Series games , including the deciding seventh . The turning point of Game 7 was a spectacular double play that began with left fielder Sandy Amorós running down Yogi Berra 's long fly ball , then throwing to shortstop Pee Wee Reese , who relayed to first baseman Gil Hodges to double up a surprised Gil McDougald to preserve the Dodger lead . Hank Bauer grounded out and the Dodgers won 2 -- 0 . Although the Dodgers lost the World Series to the Yankees in 1956 during which the Yankees pitcher Don Larsen pitched the only World Series perfect game in baseball history and the only post-season no - hitter for the next 54 years , it hardly seemed to matter . Brooklyn fans had their memory of triumph , and soon that was all they were left with -- a victory that was remembered decades later in the Billy Joel single `` We Did n't Start the Fire '' , which included the line , `` Brooklyn 's got a winning team . '' Move to California ( edit ) Real estate businessman Walter O'Malley had acquired majority ownership of the Dodgers in 1950 , when he bought the shares of team co-owners Branch Rickey and the estate of John L. Smith . Before long , O'Malley was working to buy new land in Brooklyn for a new , more accessible and better ballpark than Ebbets Field . Beloved as it was , Ebbets Field had grown old and was not well served by infrastructure , to the point where the Dodgers could not `` sell out '' the park to maximum capacity even in the heat of a pennant race , despite dominating the league from 1946 to 1957 . New York City Construction Coordinator Robert Moses , however , sought to force O'Malley into using a site in Flushing Meadows , Queens -- the eventual location of Shea Stadium , the home of the future New York Mets . Moses ' vision involved a city - built , city - owned park , which was greatly at odds with O'Malley's real - estate savvy . When O'Malley realized that he was not going to be allowed to buy a suitable parcel of land in Brooklyn , he began thinking of team relocation . O'Malley was free to purchase land of his own choosing but wanted Robert Moses to condemn one parcel of land along the Atlantic Railroad Yards in downtown Brooklyn under Title I authority , after O'Malley had bought the bulk of the land he had in mind . Title I gave the city municipality power to condemn land for the purpose of building what it calls `` public purpose '' projects . Moses ' interpretation of `` public purpose '' included public parks , public housing and public highways and bridges . What O'Malley wanted was for Moses to use Title I authority , rather than to pay market value for the land . With Title I the city via Robert Moses could have sold the land to O'Malley at a below market price . Moses refused to honor O'Malley's request and responded , `` If you want the land so bad , why do n't you purchase it with your own money ? '' Meanwhile , non-stop transcontinental airline travel had become routine during the years since the Second World War , and teams were no longer bound by much slower railroad timetables . Because of civil aviation advances , it became possible to locate teams farther apart -- as far west as California -- while maintaining the same busy game schedules . When Los Angeles officials attended the 1956 World Series looking to entice a team to move there , they were not even thinking of the Dodgers . Their original target had been the Washington Senators franchise , which moved to Bloomington , Minnesota to become the Minnesota Twins in 1961 . At the same time , O'Malley was looking for a contingency in case Moses and other New York politicians refused to let him build the Brooklyn stadium he wanted , and sent word to the Los Angeles officials that he was interested in talking . Los Angeles offered him what New York did not : a chance to buy land suitable for building a ballpark , and own that ballpark , giving him complete control over all its revenue streams . At the same time , the National League was not willing to approve the Dodgers ' move unless O'Malley found a second team to willing to join them out west , largely out of concern for travel costs . Meanwhile , Giants owner Horace Stoneham was having similar difficulty finding a replacement for his team 's antiquated home stadium , the Polo Grounds . Stoneham was considering moving the Giants to Minneapolis , but was persuaded instead to move them to San Francisco , ensuring that the Dodgers had a National League rival closer than St. Louis . So the two arch - rival teams , the Dodgers and Giants , moved out to the West Coast together after the 1957 season . The Brooklyn Dodgers played their final game at Ebbets Field on September 24 , 1957 , which the Dodgers won 2 -- 0 over the Pittsburgh Pirates . On April 18 , 1958 , the Los Angeles Dodgers played their first game in L.A. , defeating the former New York and newly relocated and renamed San Francisco Giants , 6 -- 5 , before 78,672 fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum . Sadly , catcher Roy Campanella , left partially paralyzed in an off - season accident , was never able to play for Los Angeles . A 2007 HBO film , Brooklyn Dodgers : The Ghosts of Flatbush , is a documentary covering the Dodgers history from early days to the beginning of the Los Angeles era . In the film , the story is related that O'Malley was so hated by Brooklyn Dodger fans after the move to California , that it was said , `` If you asked a Brooklyn Dodger fan , if you had a gun with only two bullets in it and were in a room with Hitler , Stalin and O'Malley , who would you shoot ? The answer : O'Malley , twice ! '' References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Jackson , Kenneth T .

"The Brooklyn Dodgers was an American Major League baseball team, active primarily in the National League from 1884 until 1957, after which the club moved to Los Angeles, where it continues its history as the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team's name derived from the reputed skill of Brooklyn residents at evading the city's trolley streetcar network. The Dodgers played in two stadiums in South Brooklyn, each named Washington Park, and at Eastern Park in the neighborhood of Brownsville before moving to Ebbets Field in the neighborhood of Flatbush in 1913. The team is noted for signing Jackie Robinson in 1947 as the first black player in the modern major leagues.[1]"

5746141140679803068 | Red Desert (Wyoming) | Red Desert ( Wyoming ) - wikipedia Red Desert ( Wyoming ) The Killpecker Sand Dunes of the Red Desert support a wide range of wildlife and vegetation , ranging from elk who use the adjoining sagebrush steppe for shelter to aquatic organisms that thrive in snowmelt ponds . Photo by the Bureau of Land Management . The Red Desert is a high altitude desert and sagebrush steppe located in south central Wyoming , comprising approximately 9,320 square miles ( 24,000 km ) . Among the natural features in the Red Desert region are the Great Divide Basin , a unique endorheic drainage basin formed by a division in the Continental Divide , and the Killpecker Sand Dunes , the largest living dune system in the United States . In the 19th century , the Oregon , California and Mormon Trails crossed the Continental Divide at South Pass , just north of the Red Desert . Today , busy Interstate 80 bisects the desert 's southern region while gas field roads cross the desert . The majority of the Red Desert is public land managed by the Rock Springs and Rawlins field offices of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management ( BLM ) . The region is rich in oil , natural gas , uranium , and coal . An estimated 84 % of the Red Desert has been `` industrialized '' by oil and gas drilling or by mining operations and associated roads . The Red Desert supports an abundance of wildlife , despite its scarcity of water and vegetation . The largest migratory herd of pronghorn in the lower 48 states and a rare desert elk herd , said to be the world 's largest , live in the desert . Ponds fed by summer snow melt attract a wide range of migratory birds such as ducks , trumpeter swans , and white pelicans . Herds of feral horses roam the area in large numbers , despite roundups and population control efforts by the BLM . Bison were also common and their skulls and horns can occasionally be found there . Contents 1 Geography 1.1 Water 1.2 Killpecker Sand Dunes 1.3 Plant and wildlife 1.4 Cultural and economic landscape 2 See also 3 References 4 External links Geography ( edit ) Water ( edit ) Melting snowpack is the primary source of surface water in Wyoming , such as this temporary wetland in the Muddy Creek Watershed of the Red Desert . In a land known for its scarcity of precipitation , water has been a powerful force in shaping the Red Desert . Former rivers from the Paleocene and later epochs , and the ancient Lake Gosiute deposited between 10,000 feet ( 3,000 m ) and 20,000 feet ( 6,100 m ) of sediment in the Red Desert 's geographic basin . Lake Gosiute began to fill the Red Desert for the first time in the early Eocene Epoch . Subsequent climate and tectonic activities during the lake 's lifespan ( four million years ) saw repeated patterns of rising and falling water levels . Gosiute reached its maximum surface area of 15,000 square miles ( 39,000 km ) with its shoreline stretching into Utah . During other times the lake evaporated completely . Lake Gosiute left behind a high concentration of saline materials and a deep primal ooze of organic matter . The former produced today 's highly valued mineral trona , while the latter created coal - bed methane gas , coal , and the world 's largest known oil - shale deposit . Energy sources have made the region the epicenter of today 's natural gas boom in Wyoming . The contemporary Red Desert watershed includes saline lakes and ponds that feature mud flats during wet years and dry lakes in droughts . Intermittent streams , dependent primarily upon snow melt but accelerated by summer thundershowers , cut arroyos throughout the basin . Such small earth moving events , repeated over the eons , combined with the sculpting forces of wind have created the rugged landscape of buttes , pinnacles , gulches , and flats that characterize the Red Desert . Summer rains produce standing water in the desert , which supports wildlife , such as pronghorn , deer , and birds . The Continental Divide branches to the desert 's northwest and rejoins in the southeast , creating the Great Divide Basin , from which no surface water drains . Steamboat Mountain and other desert mesas or buttes provide seeps and springs that serve as water sources for small streams , such as Jack Morrow Creek . While the basin 's interior waters are intermittent , the desert is bounded to the west by the Green River and to the east by the North Platte River . In 2009 , the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers was poised to launch an environmental impact statement regarding a proposed 560 miles ( 900 km ) pipeline to divert water from the Green River to population centers near Denver , Colorado . The $4 billion project targeted a route east from Flaming Gorge Reservoir across the Red Desert to Laramie , Wyoming , and then south to the Colorado Front Range . Killpecker sand dunes ( edit ) Steamboat Mountain , overlooking the Killpecker Sand Dunes , provides habitat for desert elk . The Killpecker Sand Dunes stretch 55 miles ( 89 km ) east from the Green River Basin across the Continental Divide into the Great Divide Basin and encompass approximately 109,000 acres ( 440 km ) . These living dunes , one of North America 's largest fields , owe their presence to two key factors : The Big Sandy and Little Sandy Rivers northeast of Rock Springs , Wyoming where large volumes of sand accumulated on their banks during glacial melting from the Wind River Mountains . Westerly winds that during the past 20,000 years have moved the sand eastward across the continental divide to its present location . A vital function of the dune fields is storing snowmelt and rain which support vegetation and wildlife . Water percolates deep into sand where it is safe from evaporating winds and sun . Such water is stored for access by basin large sagebrush and other vegetation depending upon the dunes ' degree of stabilization . The few plant species that can survive on the active dunes include : Blowout grass , Indian rice grass , needle - and - thread grass , prairie sandweed , rusty lupine , salina wildrye , sand lovegrass , sand muhly , sandhill muhly , and scurfpea . Such plants help stabilize the sand by slightly reducing ground - level wind velocity . Stabilization is a cumulative process . Eventually the dunes may become stable as plant cover increases -- assuming disruptive forces such as drought , fire , livestock and human traffic are not present . Dune beetles and other insects in addition to small mammals such as shrews , white - footed mice and kangaroo rats inhabit the dunes . Their presence attracts owls , eagles , bobcats and other predators . Moreover , an oasis of short - lived summer ponds that occur in swales at the base of the dunes support migratory shore birds and waders , as well as large game animals such as elk . Cattle , sheep , and free roaming wild horses also frequent the ponds . The fresh water also provides a habitat for aquatic organism such as salamanders and freshwater shrimp . Active sand dunes within the 10,500 acres ( 42 km ) of the Killpecker Sand Dunes area are open to off - road vehicles . Motorists are required to avoid the fresh water ponds scattered throughout the dunes . Plant and wildlife ( edit ) Proposed energy development will likely further reduce an already declining pronghorn population in an area that includes the Southern Red Desert , according to a study by National Wildlife Federation . At first glance the Red Desert 's largely dry , barren landscape seems an unlikely location for some 350 wildlife species and more than 1,000 plant species . The sagebrush steppe and bunchgrass habitat support 40,000 to 50,000 pronghorn antelope , the largest migratory herd in the lower forty - eight states , mule deer and the world 's largest desert elk herd . What the desert lacks in concentrated animal habitat , it makes up in expanse . The Red Desert is home to the largest unfenced area in the continental United States . Nearly three - quarters of the area is covered by sagebrush grassland . Sagebrush is a critical habitat for a variety of wildlife ranging from pronghorn which browse it year round to small insects . However , habitat is constrained by oil and gas roads along with drilling and mining . Sagebrush also provides cover for animals such as elk and the pygmy rabbit . Elk depend upon tall brush near Steamboat Mountain for shelter during spring calving season and elsewhere for shade during the heat of summer . Yet the broader impact of sagebrush upon the ecology is its function as a living snow fence . Windblown snow builds up on the lee side of the brush during winter . This effectively stores moisture that is released into the soil in late spring and early summer . Unbranded and unclaimed horses on public lands in the Red Desert are protected by the Wild Free - Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 . The result of the Red Desert 's unique ecology is that wildlife is varied . Predators such as coyotes and the occasional mountain lion , swift fox , and kit fox are attracted by the area 's mammals for feed . Pocket gophers , badgers , sage grouse , sage sparrows , and the sage thrasher are associated with the sagebrush habitat . The Red Desert is home to a range of burrowing animals . The white - tailed prairie dog , Great Basin spadefoot toad , tiger salamander , pygmy rabbits , and sagebrush lizards all go underground for protection from the desert 's extreme weather and predators . Similarly , the burrowing owl nests and roosts underground , typically in burrows dug by prairie dogs . Migratory summer birds such as the white - faced ibis , and white pelican are found at snow - melt ponds on the desert floor and at temporal wetlands . High above the desert floor , the Ferris Mountains and Green Mountains rim the Red Desert to the northeast . The mountains ' boreal environment reaches as high as 10,037 feet ( 3,059 m ) , in the case of Ferris Peak , and supports snowshoe hares , red squirrels , and pockets of big horn sheep . The high elevation with its cooler summer range attracts elk and mule deer . Prairie falcons , northern harriers and other raptors soar along mountain ridges and canyon rims looking for feed such as migratory mountain plovers , a small ground bird . The mountain plover is one of three species protected by the Endangered Species Act present in the Red Desert . The bald eagle and the black - footed ferret are also listed . However , the bald eagle is seldom seen in the desert because of the lack of streams or lakes with accompanying fish . Black - footed ferrets , which feed upon prairie dogs , are also rare . Cultural and economic landscape ( edit ) A truck hauling coal for the Jim Bridger Power Plant near Point of Rocks , Wyo. , dwarfs a nearby wild horse . Scientists trace the story of human presence in the Red Desert back 12,000 years . Striking evidence of early human inhabitants is seen in rock art found at the Boars Tusk , East Flaming Gorge , and Seedskadee areas . Researchers interpret the petroglyphs carved into rock at these sites as biographical , ceremonial , or spiritual expressions . The Red Desert 's Black Art petrogylph is thought to date back 11,500 years , according to anthropologist and cultural historian Russell L. Tanner who says the rock art may be the continent 's oldest . Tanner refers to the Red Desert as a marketplace and crossroads during more recent times of interaction between nomadic Plains Indians , including Blackfeet , Crows , and Shoshone . He writes that rock art of the times , especially along the Green River , sprang from a melding of Indian cultures represented by imagery of the Plains Indian warrior tradition . Other pre-historic evidence include Native American artifacts estimated to be more than 10,000 years old found in the Killpecker Sand Dunes , often in company with bison bones . The Red Desert 's ranching industry includes remote cattle and horse ranches . Generations of American families , beginning in the 1840s , also left their mark upon the desert as they migrated westward along emigrant trails . The environmental impact of an estimated 350,000 pioneers and their wagon trains traveling through Wyoming between 1841 and 1868 is still visible today . In some cases , such as at Guernsey , wagon wheels wore ruts deep into solid sandstone . However , most trail ruts are less dramatic but still evidence of a people 's history worn into the earth . Historic trails used by nineteenth century stagecoaches are also part of the Red Desert 's legacy . Of particular note , the Overland Stage initially followed the Platte River and the Oregon Trail to South Pass , but later shifted to a route across southern Wyoming . Stagecoach ruts in the desert are still visible in a variety of locations including north of Baggs . A short - lived gold rush in the mountains north of the Red Desert beginning in 1867 led to stage and freight service from Point of Rocks on the Union Pacific Railroad north to South Pass City . There are segments of the Oregon , California , Mormon , and Pony Express trails , along with and archeological and fossil artifacts . A westward - looking nation in 1869 united its eastern and western shores with the First Transcontinental Railroad , whose route traversed the Red Desert . University of Wyoming historian Phil Roberts described the notion of building a transcontinental railroad as `` today 's equivalent of the mission to Mars : Big , expensive and impossible '' . The preliminary survey for the railroad produced the first map of the Great Basin and Southern Wyoming , according to author Stephen E. Ambrose . The Red Desert 's lack of water presented a problem for steam locomotives of the time . The Union Pacific Company found reliable water by drilling deep artesian wells in the desert . Some of these railroad wells , such as at Wamsutter continue to supply much needed water today for residents and the influx of oil and gas field workers who live in temporary housing or `` man camps '' . Frontier expansion after the railroad 's completion spurred new trade routes such as the New Fork Wagon Road that ran 80 miles ( 130 km ) from Rock Springs , Wyoming to New Fork . The New Fork Wagon Road connected isolated ranchers and settlements in northern Sweetwater and eastern Sublette Counties . The volume of cargo is evidenced by freighters of the time who were known to hitch as many as 18 horses to haul five freight wagons at once . The Union Pacific Railroad helped launch western towns along its route , like Wamsutter . Beginning in 1913 , the Lincoln Highway connected them . The Lincoln Highway 's coast - to - coast route also cut across the Red Desert as it passed through Wyoming . Interstate 80 , nearly a half century later in 1956 , replaced the Lincoln Highway as America 's premier continental roadway . Today , Interstate 80 carries an estimated 11,000 vehicles across the desert daily . The four - lane highway slices the desert into a north and south Red Desert in terms of wildlife migration . Adobe Town is at the center of conflict between conservationists who want to block the area from natural gas exploration and industry seeking to expand into the region . Other Expansion Era roads branched off from Union Pacific railheads at Point of Rocks , Green River and Bryan . These trade routes linked remote mining , ranching , and military settlements . Signs of these early trade routes , such as stage stations and freighter camps , are still visible in areas such as Freighter 's Gap . Roadways used by modern - day freighters hauling oilfield supplies have created a spider web of dirt and gravel roads that crisscross the far reaches of the desert . BP , an energy company , reports service people associated with the Wamsutter gas field travel 800,000 miles ( 1,300,000 km ) per month , down from 1,000,000 miles ( 1,600,000 km ) . The explosion of natural gas wells drilled during Wyoming 's most recent energy industry boom continues with more than 2,000 projected wells in the Wamsutter gas field to be operational by 2020 . The gas field encompasses an area in the Red Desert about 55 miles ( 89 km ) long and 35 miles ( 56 km ) wide . Advances in drilling technology now allow grouping of multiple wells on a single drilling pad , thus reducing the footprint upon the land . Meanwhile , BLM expects the expansion in energy development to continue in the Red Desert including the Jack Morrow Hills of 600,000 acres ( 2,400 km ) near South Pass . Steve Dudley of Big Horn , Wyoming , shared his excitement on discovering the Red Desert : `` Imagine star gazing into ink black skies where the light of the stars is the most illuminating feature of the nightscape , exploring the micro oases of melting ice layers insulted by shifting sands or climbing the desert 's sand dunes .

In the 19th century, the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails crossed the Continental Divide at South Pass, just north of the Red Desert. Today, busy Interstate 80 bisects the desert's southern region while gas field roads cross the desert.\n"

The Devonian is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic , spanning 60 million years from the end of the Silurian , 419.2 million years ago ( Mya ) , to the beginning of the Carboniferous , 358.9 Mya . It is named after Devon , England , where rocks from this period were first studied . The first significant adaptive radiation of life on dry land occurred during the Devonian . Free - sporing vascular plants began to spread across dry land , forming extensive forests which covered the continents . By the middle of the Devonian , several groups of plants had evolved leaves and true roots , and by the end of the period the first seed - bearing plants appeared . Various terrestrial arthropods also became well - established . Fish reached substantial diversity during this time , leading the Devonian to often be dubbed the `` Age of Fish '' . The first ray - finned and lobe - finned bony fish appeared , while the placoderms began dominating almost every known aquatic environment . The ancestors of all four - limbed vertebrates ( tetrapods ) began adapting to walking on land , as their strong pectoral and pelvic fins gradually evolved into legs . In the oceans , primitive sharks became more numerous than in the Silurian and Late Ordovician . The first ammonites , species of molluscs , appeared . Trilobites , the mollusc - like brachiopods and the great coral reefs , were still common . The Late Devonian extinction which started about 375 million years ago severely affected marine life , killing off all placodermi , and all trilobites , save for a few species of the order Proetida . The palaeogeography was dominated by the supercontinent of Gondwana to the south , the continent of Siberia to the north , and the early formation of the small continent of Euramerica in between .

The period is named after Devon , a county in southwestern England , where a controversial argument in the 1830s over the age and structure of the rocks found distributed throughout the county was eventually resolved by the definition of the Devonian period in the geological timescale . The Great Devonian Controversy was a long period of vigorous argument and counter-argument between the main protagonists of Roderick Murchison with Adam Sedgwick against Henry De la Beche supported by George Bellas Greenough . Murchison and Sedgwick won the debate and named the period they proposed as the Devonian System . While the rock beds that define the start and end of the Devonian period are well identified , the exact dates are uncertain . According to the International Commission on Stratigraphy ( Ogg , 2004 ) , the Devonian extends from the end of the Silurian 419.2 Mya , to the beginning of the Carboniferous 358.9 Mya ( in North America , the beginning of the Mississippian subperiod of the Carboniferous ) . In nineteenth - century texts the Devonian has been called the `` Old Red Age '' , after the red and brown terrestrial deposits known in the United Kingdom as the Old Red Sandstone in which early fossil discoveries were found . Another common term is `` Age of the Fishes '' , referring to the evolution of several major groups of fish that took place during the period . Older literature on the Anglo - Welsh basin divides it into the Downtonian , Dittonian , Breconian and Farlovian stages , the latter three of which are placed in the Devonian . The Devonian has also erroneously been characterised as a `` greenhouse age '' , due to sampling bias : most of the early Devonian - age discoveries came from the strata of western Europe and eastern North America , which at the time straddled the Equator as part of the supercontinent of Euramerica where fossil signatures of widespread reefs indicate tropical climates that were warm and moderately humid but in fact the climate in the Devonian differed greatly during its epochs and between geographic regions . For example , during the Early Devonian , arid conditions were prevalent through much of the world including Siberia , Australia , North America , and China , but Africa and South America had a warm temperate climate . In the Late Devonian , by contrast , arid conditions were less prevalent across the world and temperate climates were more common . Subdivisions ( edit ) The Devonian Period is formally broken into Early , Middle and Late subdivisions . The rocks corresponding to those epochs are referred to as belonging to the Lower , Middle and Upper parts of the Devonian System . Early Devonian The Early Devonian lasted from 419.2 ± 2.8 to 393.3 ± 2.5 and began with the Lochkovian stage , which lasted until the Pragian . It spanned from 410.8 ± 2.8 to 407.6 ± 2.5 , and was followed by the Emsian , which lasted until the Middle Devonian began , 393.3 ± 2.7 million years ago . During this time , the first ammonoids appeared , descending from bactritoid nautiloids . Ammonoids during this time period were simple and differed little from their nautiloid counterparts . These ammonoids belong to the order Agoniatitida , which in later epochs evolved to new ammonoid orders , for example Goniatitida and Clymeniida . This class of cephalopod molluscs would dominate the marine fauna until the beginning of the Mesozoic era . Middle Devonian The Middle Devonian comprised two subdivisions : first the Eifelian , which then gave way to the Givetian 387.7 ± 2.7 million years ago . During this time the jawless agnathan fishes began to decline in diversity in freshwater and marine environments partly due to drastic environmental changes and partly due to the increasing competition , predation and diversity of jawed fishes . The shallow , warm , oxygen - depleted waters of Devonian inland lakes , surrounded by primitive plants , provided the environment necessary for certain early fish to develop such essential characteristics as well developed lungs , and the ability to crawl out of the water and onto the land for short periods of time . Late Devonian Finally , the Late Devonian started with the Frasnian , 382.7 ± 2.8 to 372.2 ± 2.5 , during which the first forests took shape on land . The first tetrapods appeared in the fossil record in the ensuing Famennian subdivision , the beginning and end of which are marked with extinction events . This lasted until the end of the Devonian , 358.9 ± 2.5 million years ago . Climate ( edit ) The Devonian was a relatively warm period , and probably lacked any glaciers . The temperature gradient from the equator to the poles was not as large as it is today . The weather was also very arid , mostly along the equator where it was the driest . Reconstruction of tropical sea surface temperature from conodont apatite implies an average value of 30 ° C ( 86 ° F ) in the Early Devonian . CO levels dropped steeply throughout the Devonian period as the burial of the newly evolved forests drew carbon out of the atmosphere into sediments ; this may be reflected by a Mid-Devonian cooling of around 5 ° C ( 9 ° F ) . The Late Devonian warmed to levels equivalent to the Early Devonian ; while there is no corresponding increase in CO concentrations , continental weathering increases ( as predicted by warmer temperatures ) ; further , a range of evidence , such as plant distribution , points to a Late Devonian warming . The climate would have affected the dominant organisms in reefs ; microbes would have been the main reef - forming organisms in warm periods , with corals and stromatoporoid sponges taking the dominant role in cooler times . The warming at the end of the Devonian may even have contributed to the extinction of the stromatoporoids . Paleogeography ( edit ) The Paleo - Tethys Ocean opened during the Devonian The Devonian period was a time of great tectonic activity , as Euramerica and Gondwana drew closer together . The continent Euramerica ( or Laurussia ) was created in the early Devonian by the collision of Laurentia and Baltica , which rotated into the natural dry zone along the Tropic of Capricorn , which is formed as much in Paleozoic times as nowadays by the convergence of two great air - masses , the Hadley cell and the Ferrel cell . In these near - deserts , the Old Red Sandstone sedimentary beds formed , made red by the oxidised iron ( hematite ) characteristic of drought conditions . Near the equator , the plate of Euramerica and Gondwana were starting to meet , beginning the early stages of the assembling of Pangaea . This activity further raised the northern Appalachian Mountains and formed the Caledonian Mountains in Great Britain and Scandinavia . The west coast of Devonian North America , by contrast , was a passive margin with deep silty embayments , river deltas and estuaries , found today in Idaho and Nevada ; an approaching volcanic island arc reached the steep slope of the continental shelf in Late Devonian times and began to uplift deep water deposits , a collision that was the prelude to the mountain - building episode at the beginning of the Carboniferous called the Antler orogeny . Sea levels were high worldwide , and much of the land lay under shallow seas , where tropical reef organisms lived . The deep , enormous Panthalassa ( the `` universal ocean '' ) covered the rest of the planet . Other minor oceans were the Paleo - Tethys Ocean , Proto - Tethys Ocean , Rheic Ocean , and Ural Ocean ( which was closed during the collision with Siberia and Baltica ) . During the Devonian Chaitenia , an island arc , accreted to Patagonia . Life ( edit ) Marine biota ( edit ) Spindle diagram for the evolution of fish and other vertebrate classes . The diagram is based on Michael Benton , 2005 . See also : Evolution of fish § Devonian : Age of fishes Sea levels in the Devonian were generally high . Marine faunas continued to be dominated by bryozoa , diverse and abundant brachiopods , the enigmatic hederellids , microconchids and corals . Lily - like crinoids ( animals , their resemblance to flowers notwithstanding ) were abundant , and trilobites were still fairly common . Among vertebrates , jawless armored fish ( ostracoderms ) declined in diversity , while the jawed fish ( gnathostomes ) simultaneously increased in both the sea and fresh water . Armored placoderms were numerous during the lower stages of the Devonian Period and became extinct in the Late Devonian , perhaps because of competition for food against the other fish species . Early cartilaginous ( Chondrichthyes ) and bony fishes ( Osteichthyes ) also become diverse and played a large role within the Devonian seas . The first abundant genus of shark , Cladoselache , appeared in the oceans during the Devonian Period . The great diversity of fish around at the time has led to the Devonian being given the name `` The Age of Fish '' in popular culture . The first ammonites also appeared during or slightly before the early Devonian Period around 400 Mya . Reefs ( edit ) A now dry barrier reef , located in present - day Kimberley Basin of northwest Australia , once extended a thousand kilometres , fringing a Devonian continent . Reefs in general are built by various carbonate - secreting organisms that have the ability to erect wave - resistant frameworks close to sea level . The main contributors of the Devonian reefs were unlike modern reefs , which are constructed mainly by corals and calcareous algae . They were composed of calcareous algae and coral - like stromatoporoids , and tabulate and rugose corals , in that order of importance . Dunkleosteus , one of the largest armoured fish ever to roam the planet , lived during the late Devonian Early shark Cladoselache , several lobe - finned fishes , including Eusthenopteron that was an early marine tetrapod , and the placoderm Bothriolepis in a painting from 1905 Enrolled phacopid trilobite from the Devonian of Ohio The common tabulate coral Aulopora from the Middle Devonian of Ohio -- view of colony encrusting a brachiopod valve Tropidoleptus carinatus , an orthid brachiopod from the Middle Devonian of New York .

The moss forests and bacterial and algal mats of the Silurian were joined early in the period by primitive rooted plants that created the first stable soils and harbored arthropods like mites , scorpions , trigonotarbids and myriapods ( although arthropods appeared on land much earlier than in the Early Devonian and the existence of fossils such as Climactichnites suggest that land arthropods may have appeared as early as the Cambrian ) . Also the first possible fossils of insects appeared around 416 Mya in the Early Devonian . Evidence for the earliest tetrapods takes the form of trace fossils in shallow lagoon environments within a marine carbonate platform / shelf during the Middle Devonian , although these traces have been questioned and an interpretation as fish feeding traces ( Piscichnus ) has been advanced . The greening of land ( edit ) The Devonian period marks the beginning of extensive land colonisation by plants . With large land - dwelling herbivores not yet present , large forests grew and shaped the landscape . Many Early Devonian plants did not have true roots or leaves like extant plants although vascular tissue is observed in many of those plants . Some of the early land plants such as Drepanophycus likely spread by vegetative growth and spores . The earliest land plants such as Cooksonia consisted of leafless , dichotomous axes and terminal sporangia and were generally very short - statured , and grew hardly more than a few centimetres tall . By far the largest land organism during this period was the enigmatic Prototaxites , which was possibly the fruiting body of an enormous fungus , rolled liverwort mat , or another organism of uncertain affinities that stood more than 8 metres tall , and towered over the low , carpet - like vegetation . By the Middle Devonian , shrub - like forests of primitive plants existed : lycophytes , horsetails , ferns , and progymnosperms had evolved . Most of these plants had true roots and leaves , and many were quite tall . The earliest - known trees , from the genus Wattieza , appeared in the Late Devonian around 385 Mya . In the Late Devonian , the tree - like ancestral Progymnosperm Archaeopteris which had conifer - like true wood and fern - like foliage and the cladoxylopsids grew . ( See also : lignin . ) These are the oldest - known trees of the world 's first forests . By the end of the Devonian , the first seed - forming plants had appeared . This rapid appearance of so many plant groups and growth forms has been called the `` Devonian Explosion '' . The ' greening ' of the continents acted as a carbon sink , and atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide may have dropped . This may have cooled the climate and led to a massive extinction event . See Late Devonian extinction . Animals and the first soils ( edit ) Primitive arthropods co-evolved with this diversified terrestrial vegetation structure . The evolving co-dependence of insects and seed - plants that characterised a recognisably modern world had its genesis in the Late Devonian period . The development of soils and plant root systems probably led to changes in the speed and pattern of erosion and sediment deposition . The rapid evolution of a terrestrial ecosystem that contained copious animals opened the way for the first vertebrates to seek out a terrestrial living . By the end of the Devonian , arthropods were solidly established on the land . Late Devonian extinction ( edit ) Main article : Late Devonian extinction The Late Devonian is characterised by three episodes of extinction ( `` Late D '' ) A major extinction occurred at the beginning of the last phase of the Devonian period , the Famennian faunal stage ( the Frasnian - Famennian boundary ) , about 372.2 Mya , when all the fossil agnathan fishes , save for the psammosteid heterostraci , suddenly disappeared . A second strong pulse closed the Devonian period . The Late Devonian extinction was one of five major extinction events in the history of the Earth 's biota , and was more drastic than the familiar extinction event that closed the Cretaceous . The Devonian extinction crisis primarily affected the marine community , and selectively affected shallow warm - water organisms rather than cool - water organisms . The most important group to be affected by this extinction event were the reef - builders of the great Devonian reef systems . Amongst the severely affected marine groups were the brachiopods , trilobites , ammonites , conodonts , and acritarchs , as well as jawless fish , and all placoderms . Land plants as well as freshwater species , such as our tetrapod ancestors , were relatively unaffected by the Late Devonian extinction event ( there is a counterargument that the Devonian extinctions nearly wiped out the tetrapods ) . The reasons for the Late Devonian extinctions are still unknown , and all explanations remain speculative . Canadian paleontologist Digby McLaren suggested in 1969 that the Devonian extinction events were caused by an asteroid impact . However , while there were Late Devonian collision events ( see the Alamo bolide impact ) , little evidence supports the existence of a large enough Devonian crater .

"Fish reached substantial diversity during this time, leading the Devonian to often be dubbed the \"Age of Fish\". The first ray-finned and lobe-finned bony fish appeared, while the placoderms began dominating almost every known aquatic environment. The ancestors of all four-limbed vertebrates (tetrapods) began adapting to walking on land, as their strong pectoral and pelvic fins gradually evolved into legs.[10] In the oceans, primitive sharks became more numerous than in the Silurian and Late Ordovician.\n"

The Christian doctrine of the Trinity ( Latin : Trinitas , lit . ' triad ' , from trinus , `` threefold '' ) holds that God is three consubstantial persons or hypostases -- the Father , the Son ( Jesus Christ ) , and the Holy Spirit -- as `` one God in three Divine Persons '' . The three persons are distinct , yet are one `` substance , essence or nature '' ( homoousios ) . In this context , a `` nature '' is what one is , whereas a `` person '' is who one is . The opposing view is referred to as Nontrinitarianism . According to this central mystery of most Christian faiths , there is only one God in three persons : while distinct from one another in their relations of origin ( as the Fourth Council of the Lateran declared , `` it is the Father who generates , the Son who is begotten , and the Holy Spirit who proceeds '' ) ; and in their relations with one another , they are stated to be one in all else , co-equal , co-eternal and consubstantial , and each is God , whole and entire . Accordingly , the whole work of creation and grace in Christianity is seen as a single operation common to all three divine persons , in which each shows forth what is proper to him in the Trinity , so that all things are `` from the Father '' , `` through the Son '' and `` in the Holy Spirit '' . Christian theologians believe that manifestations of the Trinity are made evident from the very beginning of the Bible . Genesis 1 : 1 - 3 posits God , His Spirit and the `` creative word of God '' together in the initial Genesis creation narrative account . While the Fathers of the Church saw Old Testament elements such as the appearance of three men to Abraham in Book of Genesis , chapter 18 , as foreshadowings of the Trinity , it was the New Testament that they saw as a basis for developing the concept of the Trinity . One of the most influential of the New Testament texts seen as implying the teaching of the Trinity was Matthew 28 : 19 , which mandated baptizing `` in the name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Spirit '' . Another New Testament text pointing to the Trinity was John 1 : 1 - 14 , in which the inter-relationships of the Triune God are reflected in the gospel author 's description of `` the Word '' , again showing the elements of the Triune God and their eternal ( always was , always is , and always shall be ) existence . ( Revelation 1 : 8 ) Reflection , proclamation , and dialogue led to the formulation of the doctrine that was felt to correspond to the data in the Bible . The simplest outline of the doctrine was formulated in the 4th century , largely in terms of rejection of what was considered not to be consonant with general Christian belief . Further elaboration continued in the succeeding centuries . Scripture does not contain the word Trinity , yet , an indication of three distinct persons can be found in 1 John 5 : 7 for the validity of which exist a controversy known as Comma Johanneum . Early Christian belief in the deity of Jesus Christ existed since the first century , in the writings of John the Apostle . ( John 1 : 1 ) Jesus is also quoted as claiming to be one with , though not the same as , the Father . ( John 10 : 30 ) Subsequently , in the understanding of Trinitarian Christian theology , Scripture `` bears witness to '' the activity of a God who can only be understood in Trinitarian terms . The doctrine did not take its definitive shape until late in the fourth century . During the intervening period , various tentative solutions , some more and some less satisfactory , were proposed . Trinitarianism contrasts with nontrinitarian positions which include Binitarianism ( one deity in two persons , or two deities ) , Unitarianism ( one deity in one person , analogous to Jewish interpretation of the Shema and Muslim belief in Tawhid ) , Oneness Pentecostalism or Modalism ( one deity manifested in three separate aspects ) . Additionally , the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints believes the Father , the Son , and the Holy Ghost are three separate deities , two of which possess separate bodies of flesh and bones , while the Holy Ghost has only a body of spirit ; and that their unity is not physical , but in purpose .

This abstract noun is formed from the adjective trinus ( three each , threefold , triple ) , as the word unitas is the abstract noun formed from unus ( one ) . The corresponding word in Greek is tριάς , meaning `` a set of three '' or `` the number three '' . The first recorded use of this Greek word in Christian theology was by Theophilus of Antioch in about 170 . He wrote : In like manner also the three days which were before the luminaries , are types of the Trinity ( Τριάδος ) , of God , and His Word , and His wisdom . And the fourth is the type of man , who needs light , that so there may be God , the Word , wisdom , man . Tertullian , a Latin theologian who wrote in the early 3rd century , is credited as being the first to use the Latin words `` Trinity '' , `` person '' and `` substance '' to explain that the Father , Son , and Holy Spirit are `` one in essence -- not one in Person '' . History ( edit ) Further information : Trinitarianism in the Church Fathers The earliest known depiction of the Trinity , Dogmatic Sarcophagus , AD 350 . Vatican Museums The Ante - Nicene Fathers asserted Christ 's deity and spoke of `` Father , Son and Holy Spirit '' , even though their language is not that of the traditional doctrine as formalised in the fourth century . Trinitarians view these as elements of the codified doctrine . Ignatius of Antioch provides early support for the Trinity around 110 , exhorting obedience to `` Christ , and to the Father , and to the Spirit '' . Justin Martyr ( AD 100 -- c. 165 ) also writes , `` in the name of God , the Father and Lord of the universe , and of our Saviour Jesus Christ , and of the Holy Spirit '' . The first of the early church fathers to be recorded using the word `` Trinity '' was Theophilus of Antioch writing in the late 2nd century . He defines the Trinity as God , His Word ( Logos ) and His Wisdom ( Sophia ) in the context of a discussion of the first three days of creation . The first defence of the doctrine of the Trinity was in the early 3rd century by the early church father Tertullian . He explicitly defined the Trinity as Father , Son , and Holy Spirit and defended the Trinitarian theology against the `` Praxean '' heresy . St. Justin and Clement of Alexandra used the Trinity in their doxologies and St. Basil likewise , in the evening lighting of lamps . Another early , and already more philosophic , formulation of the Trinity ( again without usage of that term ) is attributed to the Gnostic teacher Valentinus ( lived c. 100 -- c. 160 ) , who according to the fourth century theologian Marcellus of Ancyra , was `` the first to devise the notion of three subsistent entities ( hypostases ) , in a work that he entitled On the Three Natures . '' The highly allegorical exegesis of the Valentinian school inclined it to interpret the relevant scriptural passages as affirming a Divinity that , in some manner , is threefold . The Valentinian Gospel of Philip , which dates to approximately the time of Tertullian , upholds the Trinitarian formula . Whatever his influence on the later fully formed doctrine may have been , however , Valentinus 's school is rejected as heretical by orthodox Christians . Although there is much debate as to whether the beliefs of the Apostles were merely articulated and explained in the Trinitarian Creeds , or were corrupted and replaced with new beliefs , all scholars recognize that the Creeds themselves were created in reaction to disagreements over the nature of the Father , Son , and Holy Spirit . These controversies took some centuries to be resolved . Of these controversies , the most significant developments were articulated in the first four centuries by the Church Fathers in reaction to Adoptionism , Sabellianism , and Arianism . Adoptionism was the belief that Jesus was an ordinary man , born of Joseph and Mary , who became the Christ and Son of God at his baptism . In 269 , the Synods of Antioch condemned Paul of Samosata for his Adoptionist theology , and also condemned the term homoousios ( ὁμοούσιος , `` of the same being '' ) in the sense he used it . Sabellianism taught that the Father , the Son , and the Holy Spirit are essentially one and the same , the difference being simply verbal , describing different aspects or roles of a single being . For this view Sabellius was excommunicated for heresy in Rome c. 220 . In the fourth century , Arius , as traditionally understood , taught that the Father existed prior to the Son who was not , by nature , God but rather a changeable creature who was granted the dignity of becoming `` Son of God '' . In 325 , the Council of Nicaea adopted the Nicene Creed which described Christ as `` God of God , Light of Light , very God of very God , begotten , not made , being of one substance with the Father '' . The creed used the term homoousios ( of one substance ) to define the relationship between the Father and the Son . After more than fifty years of debate , homoousios was recognised as the hallmark of orthodoxy , and was further developed into the formula of `` three persons , one being '' . The third Council of Sirmium , in 357 , was the high point of Arianism . The Seventh Arian Confession ( Second Sirmium Confession ) held that both homoousios ( of one substance ) and homoiousios ( of similar substance ) were unbiblical and that the Father is greater than the Son . ( This confession was later known as the Blasphemy of Sirmium ) But since many persons are disturbed by questions concerning what is called in Latin substantia , but in Greek ousia , that is , to make it understood more exactly , as to ' coessential , ' or what is called , ' like - in - essence , ' there ought to be no mention of any of these at all , nor exposition of them in the Church , for this reason and for this consideration , that in divine Scripture nothing is written about them , and that they are above men 's knowledge and above men 's understanding ; Athanasius ( 293 -- 373 ) , who was present at the Council as one of the Bishop of Alexandria 's assistants , stated that the bishops were forced to use this terminology , which is not found in Scripture , because the biblical phrases that they would have preferred to use were claimed by the Arians to be capable of being interpreted in what the bishops considered to be a heretical sense . Moreover , the meanings of `` ousia '' and `` hypostasis '' overlapped then , so that `` hypostasis '' for some meant `` essence '' and for others `` person '' . The Confession of the Council of Nicaea said little about the Holy Spirit . The doctrine of the divinity and personality of the Holy Spirit was developed by Athanasius in the last decades of his life . He defended and refined the Nicene formula . By the end of the 4th century , under the leadership of Basil of Caesarea , Gregory of Nyssa , and Gregory of Nazianzus ( the Cappadocian Fathers ) , the doctrine had reached substantially its current form . Gregory of Nazianzus would say of the Trinity , `` No sooner do I conceive of the One than I am illumined by the splendour of the Three ; no sooner do I distinguish Three than I am carried back into the One . When I think of any of the Three , I think of Him as the Whole , and my eyes are filled , and the greater part of what I am thinking escapes me . I can not grasp the greatness of that One so as to attribute a greater greatness to the rest . When I contemplate the Three together , I see but one torch , and can not divide or measure out the undivided light . '' Devotion to the Trinity centered in the French monasteries at Tours and Aniane where Saint Benedict dedicated the abbey church to the Trinity in 872 . Feast Days were not instituted until 1091 at Cluny and 1162 at Canterbury and papal resistance continued until 1331 . Theology ( edit ) Trinitarian baptismal formula ( edit ) The Baptism of Christ , by Piero della Francesca , 15th century Main article : Trinitarian formula In the synoptic Gospels the baptism of Jesus is often interpreted as a manifestation of all three persons of the Trinity : `` And when Jesus was baptized , he went up immediately from the water , and behold , the heavens were opened and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove , and alighting on him ; and lo , a voice from heaven , saying , ' This is my beloved Son , with whom I am well pleased . ' '' Baptism is generally conferred with the Trinitarian formula , `` in the name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Spirit '' . Trinitarians identify this name with the Christian faith into which baptism is an initiation , as seen for example in the statement of Basil the Great ( 330 -- 379 ) : `` We are bound to be baptized in the terms we have received , and to profess faith in the terms in which we have been baptized . '' The First Council of Constantinople ( 381 ) also says , `` This is the Faith of our baptism that teaches us to believe in the Name of the Father , of the Son and of the Holy Spirit . According to this Faith there is one Godhead , Power , and Being of the Father , of the Son , and of the Holy Spirit . '' Matthew 28 : 19 may be taken to indicate that baptism was associated with this formula from the earliest decades of the Church 's existence . Oneness Pentecostals demur from the Trinitarian view of baptism and emphasize baptism ' in the name of Jesus Christ ' as the original apostolic formula . For this reason , they often focus on the baptisms in Acts . Those who place great emphasis on the baptisms in Acts often likewise question the authenticity of Matthew 28 : 19 in its present form . Most scholars of New Testament textual criticism accept the authenticity of the passage , since there are no variant manuscripts regarding the formula , and the extant form of the passage is attested in the Didache and other patristic works of the 1st and 2nd centuries : Ignatius , Tertullian , Hippolytus , Cyprian , and Gregory Thaumaturgus . Commenting on Matthew 28 : 19 , Gerhard Kittel states : This threefold relation ( of Father , Son and Spirit ) soon found fixed expression in the triadic formulae in 2 Cor. 13 : 14 and in 1 Cor. 12 : 4 -- 6 . The form is first found in the baptismal formula in Matthew 28 : 19 ; Did. , 7 . 1 and 3 ... ( I ) t is self - evident that Father , Son and Spirit are here linked in an indissoluble threefold relationship . Fundamental monotheism ( edit ) Main article : Monotheism Christianity , having emerged from Judaism , is a monotheistic religion . Never in the New Testament does the Trinitarian concept become a `` tritheism '' ( three Gods ) nor even two . God is one , and that God is a single being is strongly declared in the Bible : The Shema of the Hebrew Scriptures : `` Hear , O Israel : the LORD our God , the LORD is one . '' The first of the Ten Commandments -- `` Thou shalt have no other gods before me . '' And `` Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel and his redeemer the LORD of hosts : I am the first and I am the last ; and beside me there is no God . '' In the New Testament : `` The LORD our God is one . '' In the Trinitarian view , the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit share the one essence , substance or being . The central and crucial affirmation of Christian faith is that there is one savior , God , and one salvation , manifest in Jesus Christ , to which there is access only because of the Holy Spirit . The God of the Old Testament is still the same as the God of the New . In Christianity , statements about a single God are intended to distinguish the Hebraic understanding from the polytheistic view , which see divine power as shared by several beings , beings which can and do disagree and have conflicts with each other . One God as three persons ( edit ) The Father Son Holy Spirit The `` Shield of the Trinity '' or Scutum Fidei diagram of traditional medieval Western Christian symbolism In Trinitarian doctrine , God exists as three persons or hypostases , but is one being , having a single divine nature . The members of the Trinity are co-equal and co-eternal , one in essence , nature , power , action , and will . As stated in the Athanasian Creed , the Father is uncreated , the Son is uncreated , and the Holy Spirit is uncreated , and all three are eternal without beginning . `` The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit '' are not names for different parts of God , but one name for God because three persons exist in God as one entity . They can not be separate from one another . Each person is understood as having the identical essence or nature , not merely similar natures . For Trinitarians , emphasis in Genesis 1 : 26 is on the plurality in the Deity , and in 1 : 27 on the unity of the divine Essence . A possible interpretation of Genesis 1 : 26 is that God 's relationships in the Trinity are mirrored in man by the ideal relationship between husband and wife , two persons becoming one flesh , as described in Eve 's creation later in the next chapter . Perichoresis ( edit ) Main article : Perichoresis A depiction of the Council of Nicaea in AD 325 , at which the Deity of Christ was declared orthodox and Arianism condemned Perichoresis ( from Greek , `` going around '' , `` envelopment '' ) is a term used by some theologians to describe the relationship among the members of the Trinity . The Latin equivalent for this term is circumincessio . This concept refers for its basis to John 14 -- 17 , where Jesus is instructing the disciples concerning the meaning of his departure . His going to the Father , he says , is for their sake ; so that he might come to them when the `` other comforter '' is given to them . Then , he says , his disciples will dwell in him , as he dwells in the Father , and the Father dwells in him , and the Father will dwell in them . This is so , according to the theory of perichoresis , because the persons of the Trinity `` reciprocally contain one another , so that one permanently envelopes and is permanently enveloped by , the other whom he yet envelopes '' . ( Hilary of Poitiers , Concerning the Trinity 3 : 1 ) . Perichoresis effectively excludes the idea that God has parts , but rather is a simple being . It also harmonizes well with the doctrine that the Christian 's union with the Son in his humanity brings him into union with one who contains in himself , in the Apostle Paul 's words , `` all the fullness of deity '' and not a part . ( See also : Divinization ( Christian ) ) . Perichoresis provides an intuitive figure of what this might mean . The Son , the eternal Word , is from all eternity the dwelling place of God ; he is the `` Father 's house '' , just as the Son dwells in the Father and the Spirit ; so that , when the Spirit is `` given '' , then it happens as Jesus said , `` I will not leave you as orphans ; for I will come to you . '' According to the words of Jesus , married persons are in some sense no longer two but are joined into one . Therefore , Orthodox theologians also see the marriage relationship between a man and a woman to be an example of this sacred union . `` Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother , and shall cleave unto his wife : and they shall be one flesh . '' Gen. 2 : 24 . `` Wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh . What therefore God hath joined together , let no man put asunder . '' Matt . 19 : 6 . Eternal generation and Procession ( edit ) Further information : Filioque Trinitarianism affirms that the Son is `` begotten '' ( or `` generated '' ) of the Father and that the Spirit `` proceeds '' from the Father , but the Father is `` neither begotten nor proceeds '' . The argument over whether the Spirit proceeds from the Father alone , or from the Father and the Son , was one of the catalysts of the Great Schism , in this case concerning the Western addition of the Filioque clause to the Nicene Creed . The Roman Catholic Church teaches that , in the sense of the Latin verb procedere ( which does not have to indicate ultimate origin and is therefore compatible with proceeding through ) , but not in that of the Greek verb ἐκπορεύεσθαι ( which implies ultimate origin ) , the Spirit `` proceeds '' from the Father and the Son , and the Eastern Orthodox Church , which teaches that the Spirit `` proceeds '' from the Father alone , has made no statement on the claim of a difference in meaning between the two words , one Greek and one Latin , both of which are translated as `` proceeds '' . The Eastern Orthodox Churches object to the Filioque clause on ecclesiological and theological grounds , holding that `` from the Father '' means `` from the Father alone '' . This language is often considered difficult because , if used regarding humans or other created things , it would imply time and change ; when used here , no beginning , change in being , or process within time is intended and is excluded . The Son is generated ( `` born '' or `` begotten '' ) , and the Spirit proceeds , eternally . Augustine of Hippo explains , `` Thy years are one day , and Thy day is not daily , but today ; because Thy today yields not to tomorrow , for neither does it follow yesterday . Thy today is eternity ; therefore Thou begat the Co-eternal , to whom Thou saidst , ' This day have I begotten Thee . ' '' Most Protestant groups that use the creed also include the Filioque clause . Its controversial use is addressed in several confessions : the Westminster Confession 2 : 3 , the London Baptist Confession 2 : 3 , and the Lutheran Augsburg Confession 1 : 1 -- 6 . Economic and immanent Trinity ( edit ) The neutrality of this section is disputed . Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page . Please do not remove this message until conditions to do so are met . ( June 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The term `` immanent Trinity '' focuses on who God is ; the term `` economic Trinity '' focuses on what God does . According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church , The Fathers of the Church distinguish between theology ( theologia ) and economy ( oikonomia ) . `` Theology '' refers to the mystery of God 's inmost life within the Blessed Trinity and `` economy '' to all the works by which God reveals himself and communicates his life . Through the oikonomia the theologia is revealed to us ; but conversely , the theologia illuminates the whole oikonomia . God 's works reveal who he is in himself ; the mystery of his inmost being enlightens our understanding of all his works . So it is , analogously , among human persons . A person discloses himself in his actions , and the better we know a person , the better we understand his actions . The ancient Nicene theologians argued that everything the Trinity does is done by Father , Son , and Spirit working in unity with one will . The three persons of the Trinity always work inseparably , for their work is always the work of the one God . The Son 's will can not be different from the Father 's because it is the Father 's . They have but one will as they have but one being . Otherwise they would not be one God . According to Phillip Cary , if there were relations of command and obedience between the Father and the Son , there would be no Trinity at all but rather three gods . On this point St. Basil observes `` When then He says , ' I have not spoken of myself ' , and again , ' As the Father said unto me , so I speak ' , and ' The word which ye hear is not mine , but ( the Father 's ) which sent me ' , and in another place , ' As the Father gave me commandment , even so I do ' , it is not because He lacks deliberate purpose or power of initiation , nor yet because He has to wait for the preconcerted key - note , that he employs language of this kind . His object is to make it plain that His own will is connected in indissoluble union with the Father . Do not then let us understand by what is called a ' commandment ' a peremptory mandate delivered by organs of speech , and giving orders to the Son , as to a subordinate , concerning what He ought to do . Let us rather , in a sense befitting the Godhead , perceive a transmission of will , like the reflexion of an object in a mirror , passing without note of time from Father to Son . '' A Greek fresco of Athanasius of Alexandria , the chief architect of the Nicene Creed , formulated at Nicaea . Athanasius of Alexandria explained that the Son is eternally one in being with the Father , temporally and voluntarily subordinate in his incarnate ministry . Such human traits , he argued , were not to be read back into the eternal Trinity . Likewise , the Cappadocian Fathers also insisted there was no economic inequality present within the Trinity . As Basil wrote : `` We perceive the operation of the Father , Son , and Holy Spirit to be one and the same , in no respect showing differences or variation ; from this identity of operation we necessarily infer the unity of nature . '' The traditional theory of `` appropriation '' consists in attributing certain names , qualities , or operations to one of the Persons of the Trinity , not , however , to the exclusion of the others , but in preference to the others . This theory was established by the Latin Fathers of the fourth and fifth centuries , especially by Hilary of Poitiers , Augustine , and Leo the Great . In the Middle Ages , the theory was systematically taught by the Schoolmen such as Bonaventure . Roger E. Olson says that a number of evangelical theologians hold the view that there is a hierarchy of authority in the Trinity with the Son being subordinate to the Father . `` The Gospel of John makes this clear as Jesus repeatedly mentions that he came to do the Father 's will . '' Olsen cautions , however , that the hierarchy in the `` economic Trinity '' should be distinguished from the `` immanent Trinity '' . He cites the Cappadocian Fathers , `` the Father is the source or `` fount '' of divinity within the Godhead ; the Son and the Spirit derive their deity from the Father eternally ( so there is no question of inequality of being ) . Their favorite analogy was the sun and its light and heat . There is no imagining the sun without its light and heat and yet it is the source of them . '' Benjamin B. Warfield saw a principle of subordination in the `` modes of operation '' of the Trinity , but was also hesitant to ascribe the same to the `` modes of subsistence '' in relation of one to another . While noting that it is natural to see a subordination in function as reflecting a similar subordination in substance , he suggests that this might be the result of `` ... an agreement by Persons of the Trinity -- a `` Covenant '' as it is technically called -- by virtue of which a distinct function in the work of redemption is assumed by each `` . Political aspect ( edit ) Richard E. Rubenstein says that Emperor Constantine and his advisor Hosius of Corduba were aware of the usefulness of having a divinely ordained church in which the church authority , and not the individual , was able to determine individual salvation , and threw their support toward the homoousion Nicene formula . According to Eusebius , Constantine suggested the term homoousios at the Council of Nicaea , though most scholars have doubted that Constantine had such knowledge and have thought that most likely Hosius had suggested the term to him . Constantine later changed his view about the Arians , who opposed the Nicene formula , and supported the bishops who rejected the formula , as did several of his successors , the first emperor to be baptized in the Nicene faith being Theodosius the Great , emperor from 379 to 395 . Biblical background ( edit ) From the Old Testament , the early church retained the conviction that God is one . The New Testament does not use the word Τριάς ( Trinity ) nor explicitly teach the Nicene Trinitarian doctrine , but it contains several passages that use twofold and threefold patterns to speak of God . Binitarian passages include Rom. 8 : 11 , 2 Cor. 4 : 14 , Galatians 1 : 1 , Eph. 1 : 20 , 1 Tim . 1 : 2 , 1 Pet. 1 : 21 , and 2 John 1 : 13 . Passages which refer to the Godhead with a threefold pattern include Matt . 28 : 19 , 1 Cor. 6 : 11 and 12 : 4ff. , Gal. 3 : 11 -- 14 , Heb. 10 : 29 , 1 Pet. 1 : 2 and 1 John 5 : 7 . These passages provided the material with which Christians would develop doctrines of the Trinity . Reflection by early Christians on passages such as the Great Commission : `` Go therefore and make disciples of all nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit '' and Paul the Apostle 's blessing : `` The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all '' , while at the same time the Jewish Shema Yisrael : `` Hear , O Israel : the Lord our God , the Lord is one '' led the early Christians to question how the Father , Son , and Holy Spirit are `` one '' . Later , the diverse references to God , Jesus , and the Spirit found in the New Testament were systematized into a Trinity -- one God subsisting in three persons and one substance -- to combat heretical tendencies of how the three are related and to defend the church against charges of worshiping two or three gods . Some scholars dispute the idea that support for the Trinity can be found in the Bible , and argue that the doctrine is the result of theological interpretations rather than sound exegesis of scripture . The concept was expressed in early writings from the beginning of the 2nd century forward , and other scholars hold that the way the New Testament repeatedly speaks of the Father , the Son , and the Holy Spirit is such as to require one to accept a Trinitarian understanding . The Comma Johanneum , 1 John 5 : 7 , is a disputed text which states : `` For there are three that bear record in heaven , the Father , the Word , and the Holy Ghost : and these three are one . '' However , this passage is not considered to be part of the genuine text , and most scholars agree that the phrase was a gloss . Jesus as God ( edit ) God in the person of the Son confronts Adam and Eve , by Master Bertram ( d.c. 1415 ) The Gospel of John has been seen as especially aimed at emphasizing Jesus ' divinity , presenting Jesus as the Logos , pre-existent and divine , from its first words , `` In the beginning was the Word , and the Word was with God , and the Word was God . '' The Gospel of John ends with Thomas 's declaration that he believed Jesus was God , `` My Lord and my God ! '' There is no significant tendency among modern scholars to deny that John 1 : 1 and John 20 : 28 identify Jesus with God . John also portrays Jesus as the agent of creation of the universe . There are also a few possible biblical supports for the divinity of Jesus found in the Synoptic Gospels . The Gospel of Matthew , for example , quotes Jesus as saying , `` All things have been handed over to me by my Father . '' This is similar to John , who wrote that Jesus said , `` All that the Father has is mine . '' These verses have been quoted to defend the omnipotence of Christ , having all power , as well as the omniscience of Christ , having all wisdom . Expressions also in the Pauline epistles have been interpreted as attributing divinity to Jesus . They include : `` For by him all things were created : things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible , whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities ; all things were created by him and for him '' and `` For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form '' , and in Paul the Apostle 's claim to have been `` sent not from men nor by man , but by Jesus Christ and God the Father '' . Some have suggested that John presents a hierarchy when he quotes Jesus as saying , `` The Father is greater than I '' , a statement which was appealed to by nontrinitarian groups such as Arianism . However , Church Fathers such as Augustine of Hippo argued this statement was to be understood as Jesus speaking in the form of a man . Holy Spirit as God ( edit ) As the Arian controversy was dissipating , the debate moved from the deity of Jesus Christ to the equality of the Holy Spirit with the Father and Son . On one hand , the Pneumatomachi sect declared that the Holy Spirit was an inferior person to the Father and Son . On the other hand , the Cappadocian Fathers argued that the Holy Spirit was an equal person to the Father and Son . Although the main text used in defense of the deity of the Holy Spirit was Matthew 28 : 19 , Cappadocian Fathers such as Basil the Great argued from other verses such as `` But Peter said , ' Ananias , why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land ? While it remained unsold , did it not remain your own ? And after it was sold , was it not at your disposal ? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart ? You have not lied to men but to God . ' '' Another passage the Cappadocian Fathers quoted from was `` By the word of the Lord the heavens were made , and by the breath of his mouth all their host . '' According to their understanding , because `` breath '' and `` spirit '' in Hebrew are both `` רוּחַ '' ( `` ruach '' ) , Psalm 33 : 6 is revealing the roles of the Son and Holy Spirit as co-creators . And since , according to them , because only the holy God can create holy beings such as the angels , the Son and Holy Spirit must be God . Yet another argument from the Cappadocian Fathers to prove that the Holy Spirit is of the same nature as the Father and Son comes from `` For who knows a person 's thoughts except the spirit of that person , which is in him ? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God . '' They reasoned that this passage proves that the Holy Spirit has the same relationship to God as the spirit within us has to us . The Cappadocian Fathers also quoted , `` Do you not know that you are God 's temple and that God 's Spirit dwells in you ? '' and reasoned that it would be blasphemous for an inferior being to take up residence in a temple of God , thus proving that the Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son . They also combined `` the servant does not know what his master is doing '' with 1 Corinthians 2 : 11 in an attempt to show that the Holy Spirit is not the slave of God , and therefore his equal . The Pneumatomachi contradicted the Cappadocian Fathers by quoting , `` Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation ? '' in effect arguing that the Holy Spirit is no different from other created angelic spirits . The Church Fathers disagreed , saying that the Holy Spirit is greater than the angels , since the Holy Spirit is the one who grants the foreknowledge for prophecy so that the angels could announce events to come . The usage of the word `` paraclete '' ( Greek : parakletos ) for the Holy Spirit in John 14 : 16 , which can be translated as advocate , intercessor , counsellor or protector , and the Holy Spirit 's essence and action characterized by truth , as all three persons of the Trinity are linked with truth ( see v. 17 ) , are seen as arguments that he is a divine person ; especially that Jesus calls him another counsellor , in this way expressing that the Holy Spirit is similar to himself in regard to our counsel . Old Testament parallels ( edit ) Russian icon of the Old Testament Trinity by Andrey Rublev , between 1408 and 1425 In addition , the Old Testament has also been interpreted as foreshadowing the Trinity , by referring to God 's word , his spirit , and Wisdom , as well as narratives such as the appearance of the three men to Abraham . However , it is generally agreed among Trinitarian Christian scholars that it would go beyond the intention and spirit of the Old Testament to correlate these notions directly with later Trinitarian doctrine . Some Church Fathers believed that a knowledge of the mystery was granted to the prophets and saints of the Old Testament , and that they identified the divine messenger of Genesis 16 : 7 , 21 : 17 , 31 : 11 , Exodus 3 : 2 and Wisdom of the sapiential books with the Son , and `` the spirit of the Lord '' with the Holy Spirit . Other Church Fathers , such as Gregory Nazianzen , argued in his Orations that the revelation was gradual , claiming that the Father was proclaimed in the Old Testament openly , but the Son only obscurely , because `` it was not safe , when the Godhead of the Father was not yet acknowledged , plainly to proclaim the Son '' . Genesis 18 -- 19 has been interpreted by Christians as a Trinitarian text . The narrative has the Lord appearing to Abraham , who was visited by three men . Then in Genesis 19 , `` the two angels '' visited Lot at Sodom . The interplay between Abraham on the one hand and the Lord / three men / the two angels on the other was an intriguing text for those who believed in a single God in three persons . Justin Martyr , and John Calvin similarly , interpreted it such that Abraham was visited by God , who was accompanied by two angels . Justin supposed that the God who visited Abraham was distinguishable from the God who remains in the heavens , but was nevertheless identified as the ( monotheistic ) God . Justin appropriated the God who visited Abraham to Jesus , the second person of the Trinity . Augustine , in contrast , held that the three visitors to Abraham were the three persons of the Trinity . He saw no indication that the visitors were unequal , as would be the case in Justin 's reading . Then in Genesis 19 , two of the visitors were addressed by Lot in the singular : `` Lot said to them , ' Not so , my lord . ' '' Augustine saw that Lot could address them as one because they had a single substance , despite the plurality of persons . According to Swedenborg , the three angels which appeared to Abraham do represent the Trinity , but a Trinity of one being : the Divine Itself , the Divine Human and the Divine Proceeding . That one being is represented is indicated by the fact that they are referred to in the singular as Jehovah and Lord . The reason why only two of the angels went to visit Sodom and Gomorrah is that they represent the Divine Human and the Divine Proceeding , and to those aspects of the Divine belongs judgment , as Jesus declared that all judgment was entrusted by the Father to the Son . The three angels did indeed appear to Abraham as three men , but they are only a symbolic representation of the Trinity , which should not be taken literally as three distinct persons . In the Old Testament , Swedenborg finds the earliest direct reference to a Trine in the Divinity in the account of Moses ' encounter with the Lord in Exodus which states , `` And Jehovah passed by upon his face , and called , Jehovah , Jehovah , a God merciful and gracious . '' Some Christians interpret the theophanies or appearances of the Angel of the Lord as revelations of a person distinct from God , who is nonetheless called God . This interpretation is found in Christianity as early as Justin Martyr and Melito of Sardis , and reflects ideas that were already present in Philo . The Old Testament theophanies were thus seen as Christophanies , each a `` preincarnate appearance of the Messiah '' . Impact of Stoic philosophy ( edit ) In his Introduction to the 1964 book Meditations , the Anglican priest Maxwell Staniforth discussed the profound influence of Stoic philosophy on Christianity . In particular : Again in the doctrine of the Trinity , the ecclesiastical conception of Father , Word , and Spirit finds its germ in the different Stoic names of the Divine Unity . Thus Seneca , writing of the supreme Power which shapes the universe , states , ' This Power we sometimes call the All - ruling God , sometimes the incorporeal Wisdom , sometimes the holy Spirit , sometimes Destiny . ' The Church had only to reject the last of these terms to arrive at its own acceptable definition of the Divine Nature ; while the further assertion ' these three are One ' , which the modern mind finds paradoxical , was no more than commonplace to those familiar with Stoic notions . Artistic depictions ( edit ) Main article : Trinity in art The Trinity is most commonly seen in Christian art with the Spirit represented by a dove , as specified in the Gospel accounts of the Baptism of Christ ; he is nearly always shown with wings outspread . However depictions using three human figures appear occasionally in most periods of art . The Father and the Son are usually differentiated by age , and later by dress , but this too is not always the case . The usual depiction of the Father as an older man with a white beard may derive from the biblical Ancient of Days , which is often cited in defense of this sometimes controversial representation . However , in Eastern Orthodoxy the Ancient of Days is usually understood to be God the Son , not God the Father ( see below ) -- early Byzantine images show Christ as the Ancient of Days , but this iconography became rare . When the Father is depicted in art , he is sometimes shown with a halo shaped like an equilateral triangle , instead of a circle . The Son is often shown at the Father 's right hand . He may be represented by a symbol -- typically the Lamb ( agnus dei ) or a cross -- or on a crucifix , so that the Father is the only human figure shown at full size . In early medieval art , the Father may be represented by a hand appearing from a cloud in a blessing gesture , for example in scenes of the Baptism of Christ . Later , in the West , the Throne of Mercy ( or `` Throne of Grace '' ) became a common depiction . In this style , the Father ( sometimes seated on a throne ) is shown supporting either a crucifix or , later , a slumped crucified Son , similar to the Pietà ( this type is distinguished in German as the Not Gottes ) in his outstretched arms , while the Dove hovers above or in between them . This subject continued to be popular until the 18th century at least . By the end of the 15th century , larger representations , other than the Throne of Mercy , became effectively standardised , showing an older figure in plain robes for the Father , Christ with his torso partly bare to display the wounds of his Passion , and the dove above or around them . In earlier representations both Father , especially , and Son often wear elaborate robes and crowns . Sometimes the Father alone wears a crown , or even a papal tiara . In the later part of the Christian Era , in Renaissance European iconography , the Eye of Providence began to be used as an explicit image of the Christian Trinity and associated with the concept of Divine Providence . Seventeenth - century depictions of the Eye of Providence sometimes show it surrounded by clouds or sunbursts .

Nontrinitarian views differ widely on the nature of God , Jesus , and the Holy Spirit . Various nontrinitarian views , such as Adoptionism , Monarchianism and Arianism existed prior to the formal definition of the Trinity doctrine in AD 325 , 360 , and 431 , at the Councils of Nicaea , Constantinople , and Ephesus , respectively . Following the final victory of orthodoxy at Constantinople in 381 , Arianism was driven from the Empire , retaining a foothold amongst the Teutonic tribes . When the Franks converted to Catholicism in 496 , however , it gradually faded out . Nontrinitarianism was later renewed in the Gnosticism of the Cathars in the 11th through 13th centuries , in the Age of Enlightenment of the 18th century , and in some groups arising during the Second Great Awakening of the 19th century . Modern nontrinitarian groups or denominations include Christadelphians , Christian Scientists , The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints , Dawn Bible Students , Friends General Conference , Iglesia ni Cristo , Jehovah 's Witnesses , Living Church of God , Members Church of God International , Oneness Pentecostals , the Seventh Day Church of God , Unitarian Universalist Christians , United Church of God , The Shepherd 's Chapel and Spiritism . Islamic views ( edit ) Main articles : Islamic view of the Trinity and Shirk ( Islam ) Islam considers Jesus to be a prophet , but not divine , and Allah to be absolutely indivisible ( a concept known as tawhid ) . Several verses of the Qur'an state that the doctrine of the Trinity is blasphemous . `` Say : He is God , the One and Only ; God , the Eternal , Absolute ; He begetteth not , nor is He begotten ; And there is none like unto Him . -- Qur'an , sura 112 ( Al - Ikhlas ) , ayat 1 -- 4 Certainly they disbelieve who say : Surely Allah is the third ( person ) of the three ; and there is no god but the one Allah , and if they desist not from what they say , a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve . -- Qur'an , sura 5 ( Al - Ma'idah ) , ayat 73 And when Allah will say : O Isa son of Marium ! did you say to men , Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah he will say : Glory be to Thee , it did not befit me that I should say what I had no right to ( say ) ; if I had said it , Thou wouldst indeed have known it ; Thou knowest what is in my mind , and I do not know what is in Thy mind , surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen things . -- Qur'an , sura 5 ( Al - Ma'idah ) , ayat 116 Interpretation of these verses by modern scholars has been varied . Verse 5 : 73 has been interpreted as a potential criticism of Syriac literature that references Jesus as `` the third of three '' and thus an attack on the view that Christ was divine . Edward Hulmes writes : `` The Qur'anic interpretation of trinitarian orthodoxy as belief in the Father , the Son , and the Virgin Mary , may owe less to a misunderstanding of the New Testament itself than to a recognition of the role accorded by local Christians ( see Choloridians ) to Mary as mother in a special sense . '' There is also debate about whether this verse should be taken literally . For example , Thomas states that verse 5 : 116 need not be seen as describing actually professed beliefs , but rather , giving examples of shirk ( claiming divinity for beings other than God ) and a `` warning against excessive devotion to Jesus and extravagant veneration of Mary , a reminder linked to the central theme of the Qur'an that there is only one God and He alone is to be worshipped . '' When read in this light , it can be understood as an admonition , `` Against the divinization of Jesus that is given elsewhere in the Qur'an and a warning against the virtual divinization of Mary in the declaration of the fifth - century church councils that she is ' God - bearer ' . '' Judaism ( edit ) See also : God in Judaism , Judaism 's view of Jesus , and Shituf Judaism traditionally maintains a tradition of monotheism to the exclusion of the possibility of a Trinity . In Judaism , God is understood to be the absolute one , indivisible , and incomparable being who is the ultimate cause of all existence . The idea of God as a duality or trinity is heretical -- it is even considered by some polytheistic .

About Wikipedia | who first held that the trinity is defined as one substance in three persons | [
"The Ante-Nicene Fathers asserted Christ's deity and spoke of \"Father, Son and Holy Spirit\", even though their language is not that of the traditional doctrine as formalised in the fourth century. Trinitarians view these as elements of the codified doctrine.[30] Ignatius of Antioch provides early support for the Trinity around 110,[31] exhorting obedience to \"Christ, and to the Father, and to the Spirit\".[32] Justin Martyr (AD 100–c. 165) also writes, \"in the name of God, the Father and Lord of the universe, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit\".[33] The first of the early church fathers to be recorded using the word \"Trinity\" was Theophilus of Antioch writing in the late 2nd century. He defines the Trinity as God, His Word (Logos) and His Wisdom (Sophia)[34] in the context of a discussion of the first three days of creation. The first defence of the doctrine of the Trinity was in the early 3rd century by the early church father Tertullian. He explicitly defined the Trinity as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and defended the Trinitarian theology against the \"Praxean\" heresy.[35] St. Justin and Clement of Alexandra used the Trinity in their doxologies and St. Basil likewise, in the evening lighting of lamps.[36]"

Having studied the works of August Strindberg , Ruth relies heavily on method acting . One day , she is given an invitation for an audition which turns out to be for the fledgling women 's wrestling promotion Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling ( GLOW ) . Ruth initially has personality conflicts with director Sam Sylvia due to her tendency to overact in the ring . Aside from her acting style , Sam often questions her looks , unsure whether of not he finds her attractive . Making matters worse is her affair with Mark Eagan , the husband of her best friend Debbie . Because of this , she is known by the other women as a `` homewrecker '' . After several weeks of struggling to come up with a character , she creates the in - ring persona of `` Zoya the Destroya '' , a Soviet heel based on the real GLOW wrestler Colonel Ninotchka . Debbie Eagan ( edit ) Debbie Eagan ( Betty Gilpin ) is a former actress and Ruth 's best friend . She is best known for her role as Laura Morgan in the soap opera Paradise Cove until she was written off the series due to her pregnancy . Her friendship with Ruth is severely strained when she discovers that Ruth had an affair with her husband Mark during and after her pregnancy , sparking a cat fight during practice that inspires Sam to cast Debbie as GLOW 's leading lady . While trying to convince her to join GLOW , Sam theorizes that despite her popularity in Paradise Cove , she was being held back by the show 's writers and her character was put in a coma for a whole season as punishment for improvising too many lines . Originally oblivious to the professional wrestling business , Debbie 's mindset changes when she watches a local wrestling show and sees its similarities to soap opera before having a one - night - stand with male wrestler Steel Horse . She later on realizes that wrestling is a liberating experience , as her body is not constrained by Mark or her son Randy in the ring . Debbie 's in - ring persona is `` Liberty Belle '' , a patriotic Southern belle based on the real GLOW wrestlers Americana and The Southern Belles : Scarlet and Tara . Sam Sylvia ( edit ) Sam Sylvia ( Marc Maron ) is an exploitation film director hired to direct GLOW . He had directed eight films in the 1970s and claims that two of them are taught in colleges . In addition , his film Gina the Machina was deemed so controversial that it was banned in 49 states . Sam has a chronic drug and alcohol addiction that has led to one divorce and multiple affairs with other women ; his habits continue in GLOW when he has an affair with wrestler Rhonda Richardson . He often has conflicts with GLOW 's producer Sebastian `` Bash '' Howard over the creative direction of the promotion , with Sam going for a dystopian sci - fi theme and Bash incorporating colorful stereotypes . Sam is loosely based on Matt Cimber , the director of the original GLOW series . Cherry Bang ( edit ) Cherry Bang ( Sydelle Noel ) is a former stuntwoman who becomes GLOW 's head trainer . She previously worked in Sam 's exploitation films in the 1970s and had an affair with him . Prior to GLOW , Cherry had not worked with Sam since 1978 and she had been out of work since 1979 , as the blaxploitation subgenre went on a decline toward the 1980s . She also suffered a miscarriage two years before joining GLOW . Cherry 's in - ring persona is `` Junkchain '' , a female rapper . Carmen Wade ( edit ) Carmen Wade ( Britney Young ) is a 25 - year - old heavy - set woman who is part of a professional wrestling family . Her father , legendary wrestler Goliath Jackson , disapproves of her desire to become a wrestler , as he sees women 's wrestling as a cheap sideshow . While she has wrestling skills and helps Cherry train the other ladies , Carmen suffers from stage fright . Carmen 's in - ring persona is `` Machu Picchu '' , a gentle Peruvian giant loosely based on the real GLOW wrestler Mount Fiji . Recurring characters ( edit ) Melanie Rosen ( edit ) Melanie Danielle `` Melrose '' Rosen ( Jackie Tohn ) is a `` party girl '' and chauffeur who worked as an extra in several films and music videos . She initially is at odds with Cherry Bang , who sees through her as an attention - starved Jewish - American princess who has never had a real job . Melrose introduces herself as `` Melanie Rose , '' even though her real last name is Rosen . Her in - ring personality is based on the real GLOW wrestler Hollywood . Rhonda Richardson ( edit ) Rhonda Richardson ( Kate Nash ) is a British model who takes the in - ring persona of `` Britannica '' , an English genius inspired by the real GLOW wrestlers Zelda the Brain and Godiva . Prior to joining GLOW , she was homeless , living in a car and asking men for money in Santa Monica . Rhonda becomes romantically involved with Sam , but he becomes concerned when she makes their affair obvious in front of the other ladies . Justine Biagi ( edit ) Justine Victoria Biagi ( Britt Baron ) is a punk rock girl who uses the in - ring name `` Scab '' . On the first day of auditions , she claims to be 19 years old . She is a fan of Sam 's exploitation films and has a romantic relationship with pizza boy Billy Offal . Later in the series , Justine reveals herself to be Sam 's illegitimate daughter , as he had a one - night - stand with her mother Rosalie after being kicked out of a Black Panther Party rally in Sacramento nearly two decades ago . Her sole purpose of joining GLOW was to meet him . Tammé Dawson ( edit ) Tammé Dawson ( Kia Stevens ) is a heavy - set black woman who takes the in - ring persona of `` The Welfare Queen '' , an arrogant wrestler who flaunts her wealth from America 's welfare policies and preys on the impoverished . She is initially concerned with her gimmick , as her son is studying at Stanford University . Prior to joining GLOW , Tammé worked as an extra in several TV shows such as Knots Landing and Gimme a Break ! and as an audience coordinator for some game shows such as Family Feud . Sheila the she - wolf ( edit ) Sheila the She - Wolf ( Gayle Rankin ) is an antisocial woman who wears heavy black eye makeup and has a savage personality . She claims to have an acute sense of smell and hearing , hence being a light sleeper . She also says that she is spiritually a wolf and has been using her persona for at least five years . Sheila actually has blond hair underneath her thick black wig , but she refuses to break kayfabe even in everyday life . Aside from wrestling , Sheila is in charge of audio production . She can play the keyboard , but is limited to `` Theme of Exodus '' . Arthie Premkumar ( edit ) Arthie Premkumar ( Sunita Mani ) is an Indo - American pre-med student who takes the in - ring persona of `` Beirut the Mad Bomber '' , a Middle Eastern terrorist based on the real GLOW wrestler Palestina . Jenny Chey ( edit ) Jenny Chey ( Ellen Wong ) is a Cambodian - American woman who takes the in - ring persona of `` Fortune Cookie '' , a stereotypical Chinese martial artist . Aside from wrestling , Jenny is in charge of the wrestlers ' costumes . Dawn and Stacey ( edit ) Dawn Rivecca ( Rebekka Johnson ) and Stacey Beswick ( Kimmy Gatewood ) are hairstylists who pull practical jokes on the other GLOW women . Their in - ring personas are `` Edna and Ethel Rosenblatt : The Beatdown Biddies '' - a geriatric tag team based on the real GLOW wrestlers The Housewives : Arlene and Phyllis . In GLOW 's first show , Dawn are Stacey are put on a bind when they are scheduled to face Cherry and Tammé , as two black women beating up two elderly white women looks bad on all sides . As a compromise , The Beatdown Biddies wear Ku Klux Klan outfits ( somewhat inspired by original GLOW characters The Hicks : Sara and Mabel ) to completely put the match in favor of their opponents . Aside from wrestling , Dawn and Stacey are in charge of the wrestlers ' hair and make - up . Reggie Walsh ( edit ) Reggie Walsh ( Marianna Palka ) is an Olympic medalist . She originally uses the `` Liberty Belle '' gimmick in the persona test , but because of a lack of personality , the gimmick is given to Debbie instead , and Reggie becomes `` Vicky the Viking '' due to her tall , athletic stature and blond hair . Her in - ring persona is loosely based on the real GLOW wrestler Brunhilda . Sebastian Howard ( edit ) Sebastian `` Bash '' Howard ( Chris Lowell ) is the heir to the Howard Foods business empire and producer of GLOW , as well as the promotion 's ring announcer and commentator . He provides the women with an old boxing gym for them to train and The Dusty Spur motel as their sleeping quarters . Bash also coordinates with K - DTV for broadcast rights and Patio Town for sponsorship . However , he is in a bind when his mother freezes his assets after having spent over $600,000 on GLOW .

-4640761631255762633 | Capital punishment in New Zealand | Capital punishment in New Zealand - wikipedia Capital punishment in New Zealand Capital punishment in New Zealand first appeared in a codified form when it became a British territory in 1840 , and was first employed in 1842 . It was last used in 1957 , abolished for murder in 1961 , and abolished altogether , including for treason , in 1989 . During the period that it was in effect , 85 people were executed . Contents 1 Method 2 History 3 Abolition : 1949 -- 1961 4 Abolition and its aftermath : 1961 onwards 5 See also 6 References 7 Bibliography 8 External links Method ( edit ) The method of execution was always by hanging . At first , there were many possible execution sites all around the country , but later , the only two cities where hangings were carried out were Wellington ( the capital ) and Auckland ( now the largest city ) . Initially , there was no professional hangman employed -- the executioner was simply chosen from among any who were deemed qualified . On occasion , convicted criminals were employed as hangmen , often in exchange for reduced sentences or monetary reward . In 1877 , the sheriff of Blenheim recommended that a professional executioner be hired . Tom Long , an Irishman who claimed to have been an executioner in Australia , was hired as the first official hangman . He was the only official hangman to be publicly known ; others remained anonymous . History ( edit ) The first person to be sentenced to death was a Māori youth named Maketu , who was found guilty of murdering a pakeha shepherd . However , he died of dysentery before the sentence could be carried out . The first person to be executed was Wiremu Kingi Maketu , who was found guilty of murdering five people on Motuarohia Island , in the Bay of Islands . The people killed were Thomas Bull , employed by Elisabeth Roberton , who was also murdered along with her son aged eight , her daughter of two , and a girl of nearly three named Isabella Brind , the natural daughter of one Captain Brind by a Maori woman , the daughter of Rewa , chief of Ngapuhi in that area . Mrs Roberton 's husband , Captain John Roberton , had drowned prior in Paroa Bay , just opposite the island . Thomas Bull had a reputation for strength and brutality . He seemed at all times to have made a set at Maketu and had on several occasions struck , thrown , or otherwise maltreated him . Maketu , was unable to defend himself against such an opponent ; nor indeed did it conform with his notions of dignity to do so , he being by virtue of his chiefly rank above combat with one who was a servant and whom he therefore regarded on the same plane as a slave . Maketu , therefore , bided his time for revenge . Maketu then killed Thomas Bull in the night with an axe ; he then brutally murdered Mrs Roberton , who was shouting abuse at him and then went to murder the two girls ( ransacking the house and then burning Mrs Roberton and the two children within it ) . The boy ran up Pa Hill , where Maketu chased him and threw him off the 200 - foot ( 60 m ) cliff . He was sentenced to death by an all - white jury ( his defence had wanted a half - white , half - Māori jury ) in an Auckland court , and executed in March 1842 . All the people executed were men , except Minnie Dean , found guilty of infanticide in 1895 , and all were convicted of murder , except for Hamiora Pere , convicted of treason . However , before Dean 's trial , imprisonment and execution , several other women had been found guilty of Infanticide in nineteenth - century New Zealand , but had had their death sentences commuted to life imprisonment . These were Caroline Whitting ( 1872 ) , Phoebe Veitch ( 1883 ) and Sarah - Jane and Anna Flannagan ( 1891 ) . The last person to be executed was Walter James Bolton , for poisoning his wife , on 18 February 1957 . Abolition : 1949 -- 1961 ( edit ) When the Labour Party formed its first government following the 1935 general election , it commuted all death sentences to life imprisonment . In 1941 , the Crimes Amendment Act changed the penalty for murder from death to life imprisonment with hard labour . The only crimes for which the death penalty still applied were treason and piracy . The Labour Party lost power to the more conservative National Party , which had pledged to reintroduce capital punishment , in 1949 . During that earlier period , support and opposition for capital punishment were clearly delineated on partisan grounds . The National Party supported the restoration and maintenance of the death penalty , while the Labour Party opposed it . During debate over the Capital Punishment Act 1950 , Labour expressed concern about the constitutional implications of the concentration of executive power in this context , while National Party Attorney - General Clifton Webb referred to the alleged `` deterrent '' value of the death penalty as potential threat and punitive severity . However , Webb was relatively sparing in his use of the death penalty , while his successor , Attorney - General Jack Marshall ( 1955 -- 1958 ) , was a hardliner on that issue and the number and pace of executions accelerated , arousing debate . During the time that the National Party was in office ( 1949 -- 1958 ) , 36 people were convicted of murder , and 22 of those were sentenced to death . The final decision on executions rested with Cabinet , and only eight of the condemned were executed . The rest were commuted to life imprisonment . Even then , professional opinion was divided . Film censor Gordon Mirams did not regard spectacles of hanging as appropriate content within crime dramas and western films and excised such content and dialogue on the basis of family propriety . According to Department of Justice historian Pauline Engel , the British Royal Commission on Capital Punishment ( 1953 ) may have heavily influenced the rise of abolitionism , as did the controversies that surrounded the executions of Harry Whiteland and Edward Te Whiu , which raised questions about post-war trauma , intellectual and developmental disability as factors for leniency . Social historian Redmer Yska has argued that such concern arose much earlier . When the National Party restored capital punishment in 1950 , it became an administrative ordeal for civil servants involved , particularly those within correctional facilities like Mount Eden Prison in Auckland , law enforcement and the judiciary . Corrections staff needed to maintain suicide watch for the convicted felon , conduct regular health checks and provide pastoral care for the condemned individual 's relatives , as well as insure prison security during executions . Official requirements mandated the presence of a magistrate , doctor and sheriffs . During the late fifties , Attorney - General Jack Marshall accelerated the pace of executions and post-traumatic stress disorder , alcoholism and duodenal haemorrhaging developed amongst two of the three staff obliged to participate during execution procedures . In cases of political import , prudent reprieves and commuted penalties did occur , as happened when three Niue Islanders were sentenced to death after killing a manifestly brutal and oppressive Resident Commissioner . On that occasion , the Public Questions Committee of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand became involved in strenuously lobbying against the verdict . Class differences were also seen to affect the verdict . Dr. Senga Wintringham was convicted of manslaughter , rather than murder , in February 1955 , after shooting and killing Dr Bill Saunders . Wintringham claimed that she had only meant to intimidate him , rather than kill him . The Peoples Voice , newspaper of the Communist Party of New Zealand , criticised the perceived `` double standard '' in this context , as the courts had just convicted and sentenced nineteen - year - old British migrant and itinerant labourer Frederick Foster to death , despite questions about mental illness and intellectual impairment in his context , as well as appeals from his mother . Foster had shot and killed Sharon Skeffington , his former girlfriend . Although Foster was sentenced to death and executed , defence counsel Dr Martyn Finlay succeeded in raising questions about the limited intellectual capabilities and mental health of the condemned person in this context . Similar questions would arise in the trial , conviction and execution of Albert Webb . The New Zealand Listener editorialised against the death penalty in July 1955 , and received supportive feedback from its letters page correspondents . Eddie Te Whiu was hanged in August 1955 , after he had killed an elderly widow in Ngararatunua , near Kamo , when an attempted burglary went wrong . Abolitionist sentiment grew again , as , with the Foster and Black cases , there was perceptible anxiety about the failure of `` deterrence '' value in the context of violent homicides , and whether Te Whiu should have been convicted of manslaughter instead , due to his dysfunctional family origins and limited intellectual capabilities . As a result , a National Committee for Abolition of the Death Penalty was formed in November 1956 , with branches in Auckland , Wellington , Christchurch and Dunedin . Engel and Maureen Garing have drawn attention to the involvement of Protestant Christian opposition to capital punishment . In 1941 and 1951 , the Christian Social Justice League , Christchurch Anglican Diocesan Synod and Methodist Public Questions Committee supported abolition , as did individual Catholics , although their hierarchy remained neutral in this debate . The New Zealand Theosophical Society also opposed capital punishment , and the Churches of Christ and Baptist Union declared its opposition in the late fifties . As religious opposition grew , it provided opponents of capital punishment with an organisational base that was used to good effect . Redmer Yska notes that clergy often refused to participate in legitimising executions through their presence , of whatever denomination . As a consequence of controversy over the perceived escalation in use of capital punishment , abolitionist petitions started to circulate as well . In 1956 , a proposal for a referendum on capital punishment was put forward by the Minister of Justice , Jack Marshall . This referendum was to be voted on during the 1957 general election , but the proposal was defeated . Meanwhile , Walter James Bolton ( 1888 -- 1957 ) was executed at Mount Eden Prison in Auckland in February 1957 , after he had allegedly poisoned his wife with arsenic . Given that the National Party lost that election , there were to be no further executions within New Zealand . However , while the election saw a short - lived Labour government elected , capital punishment was not debated in Parliament again before the National party regained power after the 1960 election . In 1961 , the National Party reaffirmed its support for the death penalty , although restricted its use to premeditated murders , and those committed during another crime or during an escape from custody . The issue of capital punishment generated intensive debate within the National Party -- the Minister of Justice in the Second National Government , who was responsible for introducing the Crimes Bill 1961 , Ralph Hanan , strongly opposed the death penalty , while Jack Marshall , the Deputy Prime Minister , had condoned its use while serving as Minister of Justice and Attorney General , as noted above . Abolition and its aftermath : 1961 onwards ( edit ) Aware of growing public opposition to capital punishment , the National Party allowed its MPs to exercise a conscience vote in Parliament , and ten National MPs subsequently voted in favour of abolition . The result was a majority of 11 against capital punishment , 41 - 30 . The ten National MPs were Rev. Ernest Aderman , Gordon Grieve , Ralph Hanan , Duncan MacIntyre , Robert Muldoon , Herbert Pickering , Logan Sloane , Brian Talboys , Mrs Esme Tombleson and Bert Walker . The death penalty was therefore abolished for murder , being retained only for treason and other similar acts in theory . In principle , this meant that de facto abolition had occurred from that point onward . These last theoretical vestiges of capital punishment were abolished under the Palmer Labour cabinet in November 1989 with the passage of the Abolition of the Death Penalty Act 1989 , and there were no further executions during the interim period . Passage of the Abolition of the Death Penalty Act ended all capital punishment in New Zealand . The Cook Islands , which based its statutes on New Zealand law , formally retained the death penalty for treason until it was abolished in 2007 . The death penalty was never used in the Cook Islands . Occasional calls to reinstate capital punishment still occur , but no major political party has made capital punishment an element of any of their election manifestos since the 1989 Abolition act . A 2004 1 News Colmar Brunton poll found 28 % were in favour of bringing back the death penalty , 67 % did not want to bring the death penalty back , and 5 % were undecided . In a 2013 Curia poll for TV3 's The Nation , 38 % of New Zealanders were in favour of the death penalty -- a nominal increase from the 28 % in 2004 -- while 55 % were opposed it , and 7 % were undecided . Also in the poll , 35 % of Labour voters favoured the death penalty and National voters ' support polled at 44 % . Least likely to be in favour were Green Party voters at 19 % , but the strongest support came from New Zealand First voters at 84 % .

See media help . `` Let It Be '' is a song by the English rock band the Beatles , released in March 1970 as a single , and ( in an alternate mix ) as the title track of their album Let It Be . At the time , it had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100 , beginning its chart run at number 6 . It was written and sung by Paul McCartney . It was their final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band . Both the Let It Be album and the US single `` The Long and Winding Road '' were released after McCartney 's announced departure from and the subsequent break - up of the group . The alternate mix on their album Let It Be features an additional guitar solo and some minor differences in the orchestral sections . In 1987 , the song was recorded by charity supergroup Ferry Aid ( which included McCartney ) . It reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks and reached the top ten in many other European countries . Paul McCartney 's verse used the original take from The Beatles ' `` Let It Be '' sessions .

According to McCartney , the song 's reference to `` Mother Mary '' was not biblical . The phrase has at times been used as a reference to the Virgin Mary , the mother of Jesus Christ . Nevertheless , McCartney explained that his mother -- who died of cancer when he was fourteen -- was the inspiration for the `` Mother Mary '' lyric . He later said : `` It was great to visit with her again . I felt very blessed to have that dream . So that got me writing ' Let It Be ' . '' He also said in a later interview about the dream that his mother had told him , `` It will be all right , just let it be . '' When asked if the song referred to the Virgin Mary , McCartney has typically answered the question by assuring his fans that they can interpret the song however they like . Recordings ( edit ) The first rehearsal of `` Let It Be '' took place at Twickenham Film Studios on 3 January 1969 , where the group had , the previous day , begun what would become the Let It Be film . During this stage of the film they were only recording on the mono decks used for syncing to the film cameras , and were not making multi-track recordings for release . A single take was recorded , with just McCartney on piano and vocals . The first attempt with the other Beatles was made on 8 January . Work continued on the song throughout the month . Multi-track recordings commenced on 23 January at Apple Studios . The master take was recorded on 31 January 1969 , as part of the `` Apple studio performance '' for the project . McCartney played Blüthner piano , Lennon played six - string electric bass ( replaced by McCartney 's own bass part on the final version at the behest of George Martin ) , George Harrison and Ringo Starr assumed their conventional roles , on guitar and drums respectively , and Billy Preston contributed on organ . This was one of two performances of `` Let It Be '' that day . The first version , designated take 27 - A , would serve as the basis for all officially released versions of the song . The other version , take 27 - B , was performed as part of the `` live studio performance '' , along with `` Two of Us '' and `` The Long and Winding Road '' . This performance , in which Lennon and Harrison harmonised with McCartney 's lead vocal and Harrison contributed a subdued guitar solo , can be seen in the film Let It Be . The film performance of `` Let It Be '' has never been officially released as an audio recording . The lyrics in the two versions differ a little in the last verse . The studio version has mother Mary comes to me ... there will be an answer , whereas the film version has mother Mary comes to me ... there will be no sorrow . In addition , McCartney 's vocal performance is noticeably different in both versions : in the film version , it sounds rough in certain moments since he is not using anti-pop on his mic ; there are also a couple of falsetto vocals performed by him ( extending the vocal ' e ' on the word ' be ' ) , for instance in the ' let it be ' line that precedes the second chorus . Finally , the instrumental progression featured on the middle of the song after the second chorus ( that descends from F to C ) , which is played twice on all released studio versions , is played ( or at least is shown being played ) only once in the film . On 30 April 1969 , Harrison overdubbed a new guitar solo on the best take from 31 January . He overdubbed another solo on 4 January 1970 . The first overdub solo was used for the original single release , and the second overdub solo was used for the original album release . Some fans mistakenly believe that there were two versions of the basic track -- based mostly on the different guitar solos , but also on other differences in overdubs and mixes . Single version ( edit ) The single used the same cover photographs as the Let It Be album , and was originally released on 6 March 1970 , backed by `` You Know My Name ( Look Up the Number ) '' , with a production credit for George Martin . This version includes orchestration and backing vocals overdubbed on 4 January 1970 , under the supervision of Martin and McCartney , with backing vocals that included the only known contribution by Linda McCartney to a Beatles song . It was during this same session that Harrison recorded the second overdubbed guitar solo . The intention at one point was to have the two overdub solos playing together . This idea was dropped for the final mix of the single , and only the 30 April solo was used , although the 4 January overdub can be heard faintly during the final verse . Martin mixed the orchestration very low in this version . The single mix made its album debut on the Beatles ' 1967 -- 1970 compilation album . Original pressings erroneously show the running time of 4 : 01 ( from the Let It Be album ) , and not the single version 's running time of 3 : 52 . This version was also included on 20 Greatest Hits , Past Masters Volume 2 and 1 . Album version ( edit ) On 26 March 1970 , Phil Spector remixed the song for the Let It Be album . This version features the `` more stinging '' 4 January 1970 guitar solo , no backing vocals ( except during the first chorus ) , a delay effect on Starr 's hi - hat , and more prominent orchestration . The final chorus has three `` let it be ... '' lines , as the `` there will be an answer '' line is repeated twice ( instead of once as on the single ) before the `` whisper words of wisdom '' line to close the song . On the album , as the preceding track `` Dig It '' ends , Lennon is heard saying in a falsetto voice , mimicking Gracie Fields : `` That was ' Can You Dig It ' by Georgie Wood , and now we 'd like to do ' Hark , the Angels Come ' . '' Allen Klein brought in Spector to mix the album without telling McCartney or asking for his agreement , because McCartney had not signed Klein 's management contract . Anthology version ( edit ) An early version of the song also appears on Anthology 3 , which was released on 28 October 1996 . This version , take 1 , was recorded on 25 January 1969 . It is a much simpler version , as McCartney had still not written the final verse yet ( `` And when the night is cloudy ... I wake up to the sound of music ... '' ) . Instead , the first verse is repeated . The song also features studio talk between Lennon and McCartney prior to another take : John : Are we supposed to giggle ( or perhaps ' get ( a ) little ' ) in the solo ? Paul : Yeah . John : OK . Paul : This 'll -- this is gon na knock you out , boy . Also , following the end of the recording , Lennon can be heard saying , `` I think that was rather grand . I 'd take one home with me . OK let 's track it . ( Gasps ) You bounder , you cheat ! '' ( This is a reference to the no - overdub policy that the Beatles had adopted for the Get Back project -- `` tracking '' refers to double tracking the vocals on a recording . ) The running time of the Anthology version is 4 : 05 . Let It Be ... Naked version ( edit ) Still another version of the song appeared on the Let It Be ... Naked album in 2003 . This version contains a different piano track than the one on the studio and single version ; it can be noted that in the intro , McCartney plays an extra A bass note during the A minor chord ( very similar to the way he plays the intro in the film version ) and also plays a standard A minor chord in the piano at the first beat of measure two in the last verse ( on the lyric `` mother '' , also like in the film version ) , while the other versions have a different piano harmonisation which can be easily interpreted as an unfixed mistake . The backing vocals in the chorus of this version are similar to those in the single version , but are significantly reduced in volume while still retaining a reverb - heavy , choral effect . Starr disliked Spector 's version where his drumming was augmented by Spector 's `` tape - delay - effect '' to his hi - hats during the song 's second verse and added shakers , so Let It Be ... Naked features his original `` stripped - down - approach '' drumming . Also departed were the tom - tom overdub rolls , heard after the guitar solo during the third verse . The guitar solo used in this version -- similar to the single version -- was taken from the subsequent take as seen in the film `` Let It Be '' . Starr also commented that after the release of Naked , he would now have to listen to McCartney saying , `` I told you so '' , when talking about Spector 's production . The song 's running time on Let It Be ... Naked is 3 : 52 . Unused mixes ( edit ) Glyn Johns mixed the song on 28 May 1969 as he finished the mixing for the Get Back album . This version was never released . He used the same mix on 5 January 1970 , which was an attempt to compile an acceptable version of the LP . Again , this version of the LP was never officially released . Piano theme ( edit ) Main piano theme The piano introduces the song , through a series of chords in the right hand over single notes in the left hand . Critical reception ( edit ) In his review of the single , for the NME , Derek Johnson admired McCartney 's performance and the lyrics ' `` pseudo-religious '' qualities . Although he considered that the melody paled beside some of the band 's previous singles , Johnson added : `` As ever with The Beatles , this is a record to stop you dead in your tracks and compel you to listen attentively . '' John Gabree of High Fidelity magazine found the lyrics `` dangerous politically '' , but viewed the song as possibly `` the best thing musically that McCartney has done '' . In 2010 , Rolling Stone magazine placed `` Let It Be '' at number 8 on the Beatles ' 100 Greatest Songs . Mojo magazine ranked it at number 50 in a similar list , compiled in 2006 . AllMusic said it was one of `` the Beatles ' most popular and finest ballads '' . Ian MacDonald disagreed , writing that the song `` achieved a popularity well out of proportion to its artistic weight '' and that it was `` ' Hey Jude ' , without the musical and emotional release '' . Former Creem critic Richard Riegel included it on his 1996 list of the ten most overrated Beatles tracks , saying that , like Simon & Garfunkel 's `` Bridge over Troubled Water '' , the song `` cater ( ed ) to the lowest - common - denominator emotional stasis of its listeners . ' Let It Be ' left the Beatles no artistic choice but dissolution . '' Lennon also commented disparagingly on `` Let It Be '' . In his Playboy interview in 1980 , he disavowed any involvement with composing the song , saying : `` That 's Paul . What can you say ? Nothing to do with the Beatles . It could 've been Wings . I do n't know what he 's thinking when he writes `` Let It Be '' . '' `` Let It Be '' holds the top spot on `` The Fans ' Top 10 '' poll included in The 100 Best Beatles Songs : An Informed Fan 's Guide by Stephen J. Spignesi and Michael Lewis . The song is ranked third on the 100 Best Beatles Songs list , behind `` A Day in the Life '' and `` Strawberry Fields Forever '' . Live performances ( edit ) Film of the Beatles performance was shown on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 15 , 1970 . Although the song is performed regularly during McCartney 's performances , there are a few notable performances . On 13 July 1985 , McCartney performed `` Let It Be '' as one of the closing acts of the Live Aid charity concert in front of an estimated global television audience exceeding one billion people . It was beset by technical difficulties when his microphone failed for the first two minutes of his piano performance , making it difficult for television viewers and impossible for those in the stadium to hear him . As a result , previous performers David Bowie , Bob Geldof , Alison Moyet and Pete Townshend returned to the stage to back him up . He later joked about changing the lyrics to `` There will be some feedback , let it be '' . He re-recorded his vocals afterwards for future home video releases . Along with a 700 - strong congregation , McCartney , Harrison and Starr sang `` Let It Be '' during a memorial service for Linda McCartney at St Martin - in - the - Fields church in Trafalgar Square , in 1998 . McCartney also led a crowd rousing rendition as part of the finale of the Concert for New York City , a benefit concert he organised , featuring many famous musicians , that took place on 20 October 2001 at Madison Square Garden in New York City in response to the 11 September attacks . In 2003 , before playing his concert in Moscow 's Red Square , McCartney performed a private rendition for Russian president Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin . On 18 July 2008 , McCartney performed `` Let It Be '' with Billy Joel and his band to close the final concert at Shea Stadium in Queens , New York before its demolition . On 4 June 2012 , McCartney performed the song as part of his set during the Concert for the Queen , celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II .

"\"Let It Be\" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, released in March 1970 as a single, and (in an alternate mix) as the title track of their album Let It Be. At the time, it had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning its chart run at number 6. It was written and sung by Paul McCartney. It was their final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band. Both the Let It Be album and the US single \"The Long and Winding Road\" were released after McCartney's announced departure from and the subsequent break-up of the group. The alternate mix on their album Let It Be features an additional guitar solo and some minor differences in the orchestral sections."

The village is 3 km southeast of the town of Artik . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Gallery 3 References 4 Bibliography 5 External links History ( edit ) Harichavank known as one of the most famous monastic centers in Armenia and it was especially renowned for its school and scriptorium . Archaeological excavations of 1966 indicate that Harich was in existence during the 2nd century BC , and was one of the more well known fortress towns in Armenia . The oldest part of this Armenian monastery is the Church of St. Gregory the Enlightener ( Սբ . Գրիգոր Լուսավորիչ ) ; it is a domed structure that is usually placed in the category of so - called `` Mastara - style '' churches ( named after the fifth century church of St. Hovhannes in the village of Mastara , in the southern part of Shirak ) . The founding date of the monastery is unknown , but probably it was built no later than the 7th century , when St. Gregory was erected . The Cathedral of the Holy Mother of God ( Սբ . Աստվածածին ) that dominates the monastic complex was built by the orders of Zakare Zakarian , Amirspasalar ( commander - in - chief ) and Prince who ruled Eastern Armenia in the 13th century together with his brother Ivane Zakarian . Prince Zakare started the Cathedral after he bought Harich from a family representing the Pahlavuni dynasty . Cathedral of the Holy Mother of God , Harichavank Monastery ( 1201 ) The Cathedral is a cruciform church with two - story sacristies in each of the four extensions of the building . The tall 20 - hedral drum of the cupola is of original style . Initially tent - roofed , it acquired triple columns on its facets and large rosettes in the piers which , together with platbands , form an unusual decorative girder around the middle of the drum height . Later , the cupola drum of the Gandzasar Monastery ( 1216 - 1238 ) was decorated in the same way . The eastern facade of the Cathedral features a relief carving depicting the Zakarian brothers holding a model of the Cathedral in their hands . This theme can be found in many other Armenian churches of the time e.g. on the Memorial Cathedral of the Dadivank Monastery in Nagorno Karabakh , as well as on main churches of the Sanahin and Haghartsin monasteries in Armenia . This relief was covered in 1895 with a marble plaque featuring Madonna ; when the plaque was removed , the original carving showed beneath . Haritchavank 's Cathedral belongs to the category of `` Gandzasar - style '' ecclesiastical edifices that were built approximately at the same time in different parts of Armenia , and were endowed with similar compositional and decorative characteristics ( another example -- Cathedral of the Hovhannavank Monastery ) . Those include umbrella - shaped dome , cruciform floor plan , narthex ( often with stalactite - ornamented ceiling ) , and high - relief of a large cross on one of church 's walls . The privileges granted by the princes to the monastery contributed towards its becoming a large cultural and enlightenment center of medieval Armenia . At the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century , two monumental gavits ( narthexes ) were built of big stones , some measuring 3.5 meters . The larger narthex ( gavit ) is adjacent to the western facade of the Cathedral and is linked to the northern apse of the Church of St. Gregory . It is a rectangular building supported by four pillars , with a stalactite carving in the central part of the ceiling . Over 800 years the monastery was repeatedly reconstructed . Damages inflicted on it were repaired and small annexes and chapels were added to it at various times . The largest of these dates back to the second half of the 19th century , when Harich was made the summer audience of the Katholikos of Echmiadzin in 1850 . The monastery grounds expanded northwards and were encircled with walls and towers . New one - and two - storey structures were erected : Katholikos ' offices , a refectory with a kitchen and a bakery , a school , a hostel for monks and disciples , an inn , stores and cattlesheds . Greenery was planted in the yards . South of the monastery , on a steep cliff , stands the Hermitage Chapel . In the cemetery there are ruins of a small single - nave basilica of the fifth century with annexes in the sides of the altar apse and interesting tombstones with ornamented slabs dating from the 5th - 6th centuries ( now at Armenia 's State History Museum in Yerevan ) .

-2640844357815495329 | Blood sugar regulation | Blood sugar regulation - wikipedia Blood sugar regulation Jump to : navigation , search Ball - and - stick model of a glucose molecule Blood sugar regulation is the process by which the levels of blood sugar , primarily glucose , are maintained by the body within a narrow range . This tight regulation is referred to as glucose homeostasis . Insulin , which lowers blood sugar , and glucagon , which raises it , are the most well known of the hormones involved , but more recent discoveries of other glucoregulatory hormones have expanded the understanding of this process . Contents ( hide ) 1 Mechanisms 1.1 Glucagon 1.2 Insulin 2 Hormones that influence blood glucose level 3 Food 4 References Mechanisms ( edit ) Blood sugar regulation the flatline is the level needed the sine wave the fluctuations . Blood sugar levels are regulated by negative feedback in order to keep the body in balance . The levels of glucose in the blood are monitored by many tissues , but the cells in the pancreatic islets are among the most well understood and important . Glucagon ( edit ) If the blood glucose level falls to dangerous levels ( as during very heavy exercise or lack of food for extended periods ) , the alpha cells of the pancreas release glucagon , a hormone whose effects on liver cells act to increase blood glucose levels . They convert glycogen into glucose ( this process is called glycogenolysis ) . The glucose is released into the bloodstream , increasing blood sugar . Hypoglycemia , the state of having low blood sugar , is treated by restoring the blood glucose level to normal by the ingestion or administration of dextrose or carbohydrate foods . It is often self - diagnosed and self - medicated orally by the ingestion of balanced meals . In more severe circumstances , it is treated by injection or infusion of glucagon . Insulin ( edit ) When levels of blood sugar rise , whether as a result of glycogen conversion , or from digestion of a meal , a different hormone is released from beta cells found in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas . This hormone , insulin , causes the liver to convert more glucose into glycogen ( this process is called glycogenesis ) , and to force about 2 / 3 of body cells ( primarily muscle and fat tissue cells ) to take up glucose from the blood through the GLUT4 transporter , thus decreasing blood sugar . When insulin binds to the receptors on the cell surface , vesicles containing the GLUT4 transporters come to the plasma membrane and fuse together by the process of endocytosis , thus enabling a facilitated diffusion of glucose into the cell . As soon as the glucose enters the cell , it is phosphorylated into Glucose - 6 - Phosphate in order to preserve the concentration gradient so glucose will continue to enter the cell . Insulin also provides signals to several other body systems , and is the chief regulator of metabolic control in humans . There are also several other causes for an increase in blood sugar levels . Among them are the ' stress ' hormones such as epinephrine ( also known as adrenaline ) , several of the steroids , infections , trauma , and of course , the ingestion of food . Diabetes mellitus type 1 is caused by insufficient or non-existent production of insulin , while type 2 is primarily due to a decreased response to insulin in the tissues of the body ( insulin resistance ) . Both types of diabetes , if untreated , result in too much glucose remaining in the blood ( hyperglycemia ) and many of the same complications . Also , too much insulin and / or exercise without enough corresponding food intake in diabetics can result in low blood sugar ( hypoglycemia ) . Hormones that influence blood glucose level ( edit ) Hormone Tissue of Origin Metabolic Effect Effect on Blood Glucose Insulin Pancreatic β Cells 1 ) Enhances entry of glucose into cells ; 2 ) Enhances storage of glucose as glycogen , or conversion to fatty acids ; 3 ) Enhances synthesis of fatty acids and proteins ; 4 ) Suppresses breakdown of proteins into amino acids , of adipose tissue into free fatty acids . Lowers Amylin Pancreatic β Cells 1 ) Suppresses glucagon secretion after eating ; 2 ) Slows gastric emptying ; 3 ) Reduces food intake . Lowers GLP - 1 Intestinal L cells 1 ) Enhances glucose - dependent insulin secretion ; 2 ) Suppresses glucagon secretion after eating ; 3 ) Slows gastric emptying ; 4 ) Reduces food intake . ( Only works while food is in the gut ) Lowers Glucagon Pancreatic α Cells 1 ) Enhances release of glucose from glycogen ( glycogenolysis ) ; 2 ) Enhances synthesis of glucose ( gluconeogenesis ) from amino acids or fats . Raises Asprosin White adipose tissue 1 ) Enhances release of liver glucose during fasting . Raises Somatostatin Pancreatic δ Cells 1 ) Suppresses glucagon release from α cells ( acts locally ) ; 2 ) Suppresses release of Insulin , Pituitary tropic hormones , gastrin and secretin . Lowers Epinephrine Adrenal medulla 1 ) Enhances release of glucose from glycogen ; 2 ) Enhances release of fatty acids from adipose tissue . Raises Cortisol Adrenal cortex 1 ) Enhances gluconeogenesis ; 2 ) Antagonizes Insulin . Raises ACTH Anterior pituitary 1 ) Enhances release of cortisol ; 2 ) Enhances release of fatty acids from adipose tissue . Raises Growth Hormone Anterior pituitary Antagonizes Insulin Raises Thyroxine Thyroid 1 ) Enhances release of glucose from glycogen ; 2 ) Enhances absorption of sugars from intestine Raises Food ( edit ) Some edible mushrooms are noted for the ability to lower blood sugar levels including reishi , maitake Agaricus blazei as well as some others . Some minerals play roles in glucose regulation : see Chromium in glucose metabolism for example .

8417129972213965907 | Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo | Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo - wikipedia Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty of Peace , Friendship , Limits , and Settlement between the United States and the Republic of Mexico Cover of the exchange copy of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Signed 2 February 1848 ( 1848 - 02 - 02 ) Location Guadalupe Hidalgo Effective 30 May 1848 Negotiators List ( show ) José Bernardo Couto Miguel de Atristain Luis Gonzaga Cuevas Nicholas Trist Signatories Mexico United States Citations 9 Stat. 922 ; TS 207 ; 9 Bevans 791 See also the military convention of 29 February 1848 ( 5 Miller 407 ; 9 Bevans 807 ) . The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ( Tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo in Spanish ) , officially titled the Treaty of Peace , Friendship , Limits and Settlement between the United States of America and the Mexican Republic , is the peace treaty signed on February 2 , 1848 , in the Villa de Guadalupe Hidalgo ( now a neighborhood of Mexico City ) between the United States and Mexico that ended the Mexican -- American War ( 1846 -- 1848 ) . The treaty came into force on July 4 , 1848 . With the defeat of its army and the fall of its capital , Mexico entered into negotiations to end the war . The treaty called for the U.S. to pay US $ 15 million to Mexico and to pay off the claims of American citizens against Mexico up to US $5 million . It gave the United States the Rio Grande as a boundary for Texas , and gave the U.S. ownership of California and a large area comprising roughly half of New Mexico , most of Arizona , Nevada , and Utah , and parts of Wyoming and Colorado . Mexicans in those annexed areas had the choice of relocating to within Mexico 's new boundaries or receiving American citizenship with full civil rights . The U.S. Senate advised and consented to ratification of the treaty by a vote of 38 -- 14 . The opponents of this treaty were led by the Whigs , who had opposed the war and rejected Manifest destiny in general , and rejected this expansion in particular . The amount of land gained by the United States from Mexico was increased as a result of the Gadsden Purchase of 1853 , which ceded parts of present - day southern Arizona and New Mexico to the United States . Contents 1 Negotiators 2 Terms 2.1 Results 3 Background to the war 4 Conduct of war 4.1 Peace negotiations 4.2 Changes to the treaty and ratification 4.3 Protocol of Querétaro 4.4 Treaty of Mesilla 5 Effects 5.1 Additional issues 6 See also 7 References 7.1 Sources 8 External links Negotiators ( edit ) The peace talks were negotiated by Nicholas Trist , chief clerk of the US State Department , who had accompanied General Winfield Scott as a diplomat and President Polk 's representative . Trist and General Scott , after two previous unsuccessful attempts to negotiate a treaty with General José Joaquín de Herrera , determined that the only way to deal with Mexico was as a conquered enemy . Nicholas Trist negotiated with a special commission representing the collapsed government led by Don José Bernardo Couto , Don Miguel de Atristain , and Don Luis Gonzaga Cuevas of Mexico . Terms ( edit ) `` Mapa de los Estados Unidos de Méjico by John Distrunell , the 1847 map used during the negotiations Although Mexico ceded Alta California and Santa Fe de Nuevo México , the text of the treaty did not list territories to be ceded , and avoided the disputed issues that were causes of war : the validity of the 1836 secession of the Republic of Texas , Texas 's unenforced boundary claims as far as the Rio Grande , and the 1845 annexation of Texas by the United States . Instead , Article V of the treaty simply described the new U.S. -- Mexico border . From east to west , the border consisted of the Rio Grande northwest from its mouth to the point Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico ( roughly 32 degrees north ) , as shown in the Disturnell map , then due west from this point to the 110th meridian west , then north along the 110th Meridian to the Gila River and down the river to its mouth . Unlike the New Mexico segment of the boundary , which depended partly on unknown geography , `` in order to preclude all difficulty in tracing upon the ground the limit separating Upper from Lower California '' , a straight line was drawn from the mouth of the Gila to one marine league south of the southernmost point of the port of San Diego , slightly north of the previous Mexican provincial boundary at Playas de Rosarito . Comparing the boundary in the Adams -- Onís Treaty to the Guadalupe Hidalgo boundary , Mexico conceded about 55 % of its pre-war , pre-Texas territorial claims and now has an area of 1,972,550 km2 ( 761,606 sq mi ) . In the United States , the 1.36 million km2 ( 525,000 square miles ) of the area between the Adams - Onis and Guadalupe Hidalgo boundaries outside the 1,007,935 km ( 389,166 sq mi ) claimed by the Republic of Texas is known as the Mexican Cession . That is to say , the Mexican Cession is construed not to include any territory east of the Rio Grande , while the territorial claims of the Republic of Texas included no territory west of the Rio Grande . The Mexican Cession included essentially the entirety of the former Mexican territory of Alta California , but only the western portion of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico , and includes all of present - day California , Nevada and Utah , most of Arizona , and western portions of New Mexico , Colorado , and Wyoming . Articles VIII and IX ensured safety of existing property rights of Mexican citizens living in the transferred territories . Despite assurances to the contrary , the property rights of Mexican citizens were often not honored by the U.S. in accordance with modifications to and interpretations of the Treaty . The U.S. also agreed to assume $3.25 million ( equivalent to $91.9 million today ) in debts that Mexico owed to United States citizens . The residents had one year to choose whether they wanted American or Mexican citizenship ; Over 90 % chose American citizenship . The others returned to Mexico ( where they received land ) , or in some cases in New Mexico were allowed to remain in place as Mexican citizens . Article XII engaged the United States to pay , `` In consideration of the extension acquired '' , 15 million dollars ( equivalent to $420 million today ) , in annual installments of 3 million dollars . Article XI of the treaty was important to Mexico . It provided that the United States would prevent and punish raids by Indians into Mexico , prohibited Americans from acquiring property , including livestock , taken by the Indians in those raids , and stated that the U.S. would return captives of the Indians to Mexico . Mexicans believed that the United States had encouraged and assisted the Comanche and Apache raids that had devastated northern Mexico in the years before the war . This article promised relief to them . Article XI , however , proved unenforceable . Destructive Indian raids continued despite a heavy U.S. presence near the Mexican border . Mexico filed 366 claims with the U.S. government for damages done by Comanche and Apache raids between 1848 and 1853 . In 1853 , in the Treaty of Mesilla concluding the Gadsden Purchase , Article XI was annulled . Results ( edit ) The land that the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo brought into the United States became , between 1850 and 1912 , all or part of ten states : California ( 1850 ) , Nevada ( 1869 ) , Utah ( 1896 ) , and Arizona ( 1912 ) , as well as , depending upon interpretation , the entire state of Texas ( 1845 ) , which then included part of Kansas ( 1861 ) ; Colorado ( 1876 ) ; Wyoming ( 1890 ) ; Oklahoma ( 1907 ) ; and New Mexico ( 1912 ) . The remainder ( the southern parts ) of New Mexico and Arizona were peacefully purchased under the Gadsden Purchase , which was carried out in 1853 . In this purchase the United States paid an additional $10 million ( equivalent to $290 million today ) , for land intended to accommodate a transcontinental railroad . However , the American Civil War delayed construction of such a route , and it was not until 1881 that the Southern Pacific Railroad finally was completed , fulfilling the purpose of the acquisition . Background to the war ( edit ) Mexico had claimed the area in question since winning its independence from the Spanish Empire in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence . The Spanish Empire had conquered part of the area from the American Indian tribes over the preceding three centuries , but there remained powerful and independent indigenous nations within that northern region of Mexico . Most of that land was too dry ( low rainfall ) and too mountainous to support many people , until the advent of new technology after about 1880 : means for damming and distributing water from the few rivers to irrigated farmland ; the telegraph ; the railroad ; the telephone ; and electrical power . About 80,000 Mexicans inhabited California , New Mexico , Arizona , and Texas during the period 1845 to 1850 , with far fewer in Nevada , southern and western Colorado , and Utah . On 1 March 1845 , U.S. President John Tyler signed legislation to authorize the United States to annex the Republic of Texas , effective on 29 December 1845 . The Mexican government , which had never recognized the Republic of Texas as an independent country , had warned that annexation would be viewed as an act of war . The United Kingdom and France , both of which recognized the independence of the Republic of Texas , repeatedly tried to dissuade Mexico from declaring war against its northern neighbor . British efforts to mediate the quandary proved fruitless , in part because additional political disputes ( particularly the Oregon boundary dispute ) arose between Great Britain ( as the ruler of Canada ) and the United States . On 10 November 1845 , before the outbreak of hostilities , President James K. Polk sent his envoy , John Slidell , to Mexico . Slidell had instructions to offer Mexico around $5 million for the territory of Nuevo México and up to $40 million for Alta California . The Mexican government dismissed Slidell , refusing to even meet with him . Earlier in that year , Mexico had broken off diplomatic relations with the United States , based partly on its interpretation of the Adams -- Onís Treaty of 1819 , under which newly - independent Mexico claimed it had inherited rights . In that agreement , the United States had `` renounced forever '' all claims to Spanish territory . Neither side took any further action to avoid a war . Meanwhile , Polk settled a major territorial dispute with Britain via the Oregon Treaty , which was signed on 15 June 1846 . By avoiding any chance of conflict with Great Britain , the U.S was given a free hand in regard to Mexico . After the Thornton Affair of 25 -- 26 April , when Mexican forces attacked an American unit in the disputed area , with the result that 11 Americans were killed , five wounded and 49 captured , Congress passed declaration of war , which Polk signed on 13 May 1846 . The Mexican Congress responded with its own war declaration on 7 July 1846 . Map o . S. Augustus Mitchell , Philadelphia , 1847 . Alta California shown including Nevada , Utah , Arizona Conduct of war ( edit ) Main article : Mexican -- American War California and New Mexico were quickly occupied by American forces in the summer of 1846 , and fighting there ended on 13 January 1847 with the signing of the `` Capitulation Agreement '' at `` Campo de Cahuenga '' and end of the Taos Revolt . By the middle of September 1847 , U.S. forces had successfully invaded central Mexico and occupied Mexico City . Peace negotiations ( edit ) Some Eastern Democrats called for complete annexation of Mexico and claimed that some Mexican liberals would welcome this , but President Polk 's State of the Union address in December 1847 upheld Mexican independence and argued at length that occupation and any further military operations in Mexico were aimed at securing a treaty ceding California and New Mexico up to approximately the 32nd parallel north and possibly Baja California and transit rights across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec . Despite its lengthy string of military defeats , the Mexican government was reluctant to agree to the loss of California and New Mexico . Even with its capital under enemy occupation , the Mexican government was inclined to consider factors such as the unwillingness of the U.S. administration to annex Mexico outright and what appeared to be deep divisions in domestic U.S. opinion regarding the war and its aims , which gave it reason to conclude that it was actually in a far better negotiating position than the military situation might have suggested . A further consideration was the Mexican government 's opposition to slavery and its awareness of the well - known and growing sectional divide in the U.S. over the issue of slavery . It therefore made sense for Mexico to negotiate with a goal of pandering to Northern U.S. interests at the expense of Southern U.S. interests . The Mexicans proposed peace terms that offered only sale of Alta California north of the 37th parallel north -- north of Santa Cruz , California and Madera , California and the southern boundaries of today 's Utah and Colorado . This territory was already dominated by Anglo - American settlers , but perhaps more importantly from the Mexican point of view , it represented the bulk of pre-war Mexican territory north of the Missouri Compromise line of parallel 36 ° 30 ′ north -- lands that , if annexed by the U.S. , would have been presumed by Northerners to be forever free of slavery . The Mexicans also offered to recognize the U.S. annexation of Texas , but held to its demand of the Nueces River as a boundary . While the Mexican government could not reasonably have expected the Polk Administration to accept such terms , it would have had reason to hope that a rejection of peace terms so favorable to Northern interests might have the potential to provoke sectional conflict in the United States , or perhaps even a civil war that would fatally undermine the U.S. military position in Mexico . Instead , these terms combined with other Mexican demands ( in particular , for various indemnities ) only provoked widespread indignation throughout the U.S. without causing the sectional conflict the Mexicans were hoping for . Jefferson Davis advised Polk that if Mexico appointed commissioners to come to the U.S. , the government that appointed them would probably be overthrown before they completed their mission , and they would likely be shot as traitors on their return ; so that the only hope of peace was to have a U.S. representative in Mexico . Nicholas Trist , chief clerk of the State Department under President Polk , finally negotiated a treaty with the Mexican delegation after ignoring his recall by President Polk in frustration with failure to secure a treaty . Notwithstanding that the treaty had been negotiated against his instructions , given its achievement of the major American aim , President Polk passed it on to the Senate . A section of the original treaty The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed by Nicholas Trist ( on behalf of the U.S. ) and Luis G. Cuevas , Bernardo Couto and Miguel Atristain as plenipotentiary representatives of Mexico on 2 February 1848 , at the main altar of the old Basilica of Guadalupe at Villa Hidalgo ( within the present city limits ) as U.S. troops under the command of Gen. Winfield Scott were occupying Mexico City . Changes to the Treaty and ratification ( edit ) The version of the treaty ratified by the United States Senate eliminated Article X , which stated that the U.S. government would honor and guarantee all land grants awarded in lands ceded to the U.S. to citizens of Spain and Mexico by those respective governments . Article VIII guaranteed that Mexicans who remained more than one year in the ceded lands would automatically become full - fledged United States citizens ( or they could declare their intention of remaining Mexican citizens ) ; however , the Senate modified Article IX , changing the first paragraph and excluding the last two . Among the changes was that Mexican citizens would `` be admitted at the proper time ( to be judged of by the Congress of the United States ) '' instead of `` admitted as soon as possible '' , as negotiated between Trist and the Mexican delegation . An amendment by Jefferson Davis giving the U.S. most of Tamaulipas and Nuevo León , all of Coahuila and a large part of Chihuahua was supported by both senators from Texas ( Sam Houston and Thomas Jefferson Rusk ) , Daniel S. Dickinson of New York , Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois , Edward A. Hannegan of Indiana , and one each from Alabama , Florida , Mississippi , Ohio , Missouri and Tennessee . Most of the leaders of the Democratic party , Thomas Hart Benton , John C. Calhoun , Herschel V. Johnson , Lewis Cass , James Murray Mason of Virginia and Ambrose Hundley Sevier were opposed and the amendment was defeated 44 -- 11 . An amendment by Whig Sen. George Edmund Badger of North Carolina to exclude New Mexico and California lost 35 -- 15 , with three Southern Whigs voting with the Democrats . Daniel Webster was bitter that four New England senators made deciding votes for acquiring the new territories . A motion to insert into the treaty the Wilmot Proviso ( banning slavery from the acquired territories ) failed 15 -- 38 on sectional lines . The treaty was subsequently ratified by the U.S. Senate by a vote of 38 to 14 on 10 March 1848 and by Mexico through a legislative vote of 51 to 34 and a Senate vote of 33 to 4 , on 19 May 1848 . News that New Mexico 's legislative assembly had just passed an act for organization of a U.S. territorial government helped ease Mexican concern about abandoning the people of New Mexico . The treaty was formally proclaimed on 4 July 1848 . Protocol of Querétaro ( edit ) On 30 May 1848 , when the two countries exchanged ratifications of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo , they further negotiated a three - article protocol to explain the amendments . The first article stated that the original Article IX of the treaty , although replaced by Article III of the Treaty of Louisiana , would still confer the rights delineated in Article IX . The second article confirmed the legitimacy of land grants pursuant to Mexican law . The protocol further noted that said explanations had been accepted by the Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs on behalf of the Mexican Government , and was signed in Santiago de Querétaro by A.H. Sevier , Nathan Clifford and Luis de la Rosa . The U.S. would later go on to ignore the protocol on the grounds that the U.S. representatives had over-reached their authority in agreeing to it . Treaty of Mesilla ( edit ) The Treaty of Mesilla , which concluded the Gadsden purchase of 1854 , had significant implications for the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo . Article II of the treaty annulled article XI of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo , and article IV further annulled articles VI and VII of Guadalupe Hidalgo . Article V however reaffirmed the property guarantees of Guadalupe Hidalgo , specifically those contained within articles VIII and IX . Effects ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( January 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Mexican Cession agreed with Mexico ( white ) and the Gadsden Purchase ( brown ) . Part of the area marked as Gadsden Purchase near modern - day Mesilla , New Mexico , was disputed after the Treaty . In addition to the sale of land , the treaty also provided for the recognition of the Rio Grande as the boundary between the state of Texas and Mexico . The land boundaries were established by a survey team of appointed Mexican and American representatives , and published in three volumes as The United States and Mexican Boundary Survey . On 30 December 1853 , the countries by agreement altered the border from the initial one by increasing the number of border markers from 6 to 53 . Most of these markers were simply piles of stones . Two later conventions , in 1882 and 1889 , further clarified the boundaries , as some of the markers had been moved or destroyed . Photographers were brought in to document the location of the markers . These photographs are in Record Group 77 , Records of the Office of the Chief Engineers , in the National Archives . The southern border of California was designated as a line from the junction of the Colorado and Gila rivers westward to the Pacific Ocean , so that it passes one Spanish league south of the southernmost portion of San Diego Bay . This was done to ensure that the United States received San Diego and its excellent natural harbor , without relying on potentially inaccurate designations by latitude . The treaty extended the choice of U.S. citizenship to Mexicans in the newly purchased territories , before many African Americans , Asians and Native Americans were eligible . If they chose to , they had to declare to the U.S. government within a year the Treaty was signed ; otherwise , they could remain Mexican citizens , but they would have to relocate . Between 1850 and 1920 , the U.S. Census counted most Mexicans as racially `` white '' . Nonetheless , racially tinged tensions persisted in the era following annexation , reflected in such things as the Greaser Act in California , as tens of thousands of Mexican nationals suddenly found themselves living within the borders of the United States . Mexican communities remained segregated de facto from and also within other U.S. communities , continuing through the Mexican migration right up to the end of the 20th century throughout the Southwest . Community property rights in California are a legacy of the Mexican era . The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the property rights of Mexican subjects would be kept inviolate . The early Californians felt compelled to continue the community property system regarding the earnings and accumulation of property during a marriage , and it became incorporated into the California constitution . Additional issues ( edit ) Border disputes continued . The U.S. 's desire to expand its territory continued unabated and Mexico 's economic problems persisted , leading to the controversial Gadsden Purchase in 1854 and William Walker 's Republic of Lower California filibustering incident in that same year . The Channel Islands of California and Farallon Islands are not mentioned in the Treaty . The border was routinely crossed by the armed forces of both countries . Mexican and Confederate troops often clashed during the American Civil War , and the U.S. crossed the border during the war of French intervention in Mexico . In March 1916 Pancho Villa led a raid on the U.S. border town of Columbus , New Mexico , which was followed by the Pershing expedition . The shifting of the Rio Grande would much later cause a dispute over the boundary between purchase lands and those of the state of Texas , called the Country Club Dispute . Controversy over community land grant claims in New Mexico persists to this day . Disputes about whether to make all this new territory into free states or slave - holding states contributed heavily to the rise in North - South tensions that led to the American Civil War just over a decade later . The treaty was leaked to John Nugent before the U.S. Senate could approve it . Nugent published his article in the New York Herald and , afterward , was questioned by Senators . Nugent did not reveal his source . The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo led to the establishment in 1889 of the International Boundary and Water Commission to maintain the border , and pursuant to newer treaties to allocate river waters between the two nations , and to provide for flood control and water sanitation . Once viewed as a model of international cooperation , in recent decades the IBWC has been heavily criticized as an institutional anachronism , by - passed by modern social , environmental and political issues .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Genesis 2 Birth 3 Life 4 Death 5 Legacy 6 References 7 External links Genesis Dolly was cloned by Keith Campbell , Ian Wilmut and colleagues at the Roslin Institute , part of the University of Edinburgh , Scotland , and the biotechnology company PPL Therapeutics , based near Edinburgh . The funding for Dolly 's cloning was provided by PPL Therapeutics and the Ministry of Agriculture . She was born on 5 July 1996 and died from a progressive lung disease five months before her seventh birthday . She has been called `` the world 's most famous sheep '' by sources including BBC News and Scientific American . The cell used as the donor for the cloning of Dolly was taken from a mammary gland , and the production of a healthy clone therefore proved that a cell taken from a specific part of the body could recreate a whole individual . On Dolly 's name , Wilmut stated `` Dolly is derived from a mammary gland cell and we could n't think of a more impressive pair of glands than Dolly Parton 's '' . Birth Dolly was born on 5 July 1996 and had three mothers : one provided the egg , another the DNA , and a third carried the cloned embryo to term . She was created using the technique of somatic cell nuclear transfer , where the cell nucleus from an adult cell is transferred into an unfertilized oocyte ( developing egg cell ) that has had its cell nucleus removed . The hybrid cell is then stimulated to divide by an electric shock , and when it develops into a blastocyst it is implanted in a surrogate mother . Dolly was the first clone produced from a cell taken from an adult mammal . The production of Dolly showed that genes in the nucleus of such a mature differentiated somatic cell are still capable of reverting to an embryonic totipotent state , creating a cell that can then go on to develop into any part of an animal . Dolly 's existence was announced to the public on 22 February 1997 . It gained much attention in the media . A commercial with Scottish scientists playing with sheep was aired on TV , and a special report in Time magazine featured Dolly the sheep . Science featured Dolly as the breakthrough of the year . Even though Dolly was not the first animal cloned , she received media attention because she was the first cloned from an adult cell . Life The cloning process that produced Dolly Dolly lived her entire life at the Roslin Institute in Midlothian . There she was bred with a Welsh Mountain ram and produced six lambs in total . Her first lamb , named Bonnie , was born in April 1998 . The next year Dolly produced twin lambs Sally and Rosie , and she gave birth to triplets Lucy , Darcy and Cotton in the year after that . In late 2001 , at the age of four , Dolly developed arthritis and began to walk stiffly . This was treated with anti-inflammatory drugs . Death On 14 February 2003 , Dolly was euthanised because she had a progressive lung disease and severe arthritis . A Finn Dorset such as Dolly has a life expectancy of around 11 to 12 years , but Dolly lived 6.5 years . A post-mortem examination showed she had a form of lung cancer called ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma , also known as Jaagsiekte , which is a fairly common disease of sheep and is caused by the retrovirus JSRV . Roslin scientists stated that they did not think there was a connection with Dolly being a clone , and that other sheep in the same flock had died of the same disease . Such lung diseases are a particular danger for sheep kept indoors , and Dolly had to sleep inside for security reasons . Some in the press speculated that a contributing factor to Dolly 's death was that she could have been born with a genetic age of six years , the same age as the sheep from which she was cloned . One basis for this idea was the finding that Dolly 's telomeres were short , which is typically a result of the aging process . The Roslin Institute stated that intensive health screening did not reveal any abnormalities in Dolly that could have come from advanced aging . In 2016 scientists reported no defects in thirteen cloned sheep , including four from the same cell line as Dolly . The first study to review the long - term health outcomes of cloning , the authors found no evidence of late - onset , non-communicable diseases other than some minor examples of osteoarthritis and concluded `` We could find no evidence , therefore , of a detrimental long - term effect of cloning by SCNT on the health of aged offspring among our cohort . '' Legacy After cloning was successfully demonstrated through the production of Dolly , many other large mammals were cloned , including pigs , deer , horses and bulls . The attempt to clone argali ( mountain sheep ) did not produce viable embryos . The attempt to clone a banteng bull was more successful , as were the attempts to clone mouflon ( a form of wild sheep ) , both resulting in viable offspring . The reprogramming process that cells need to go through during cloning is not perfect and embryos produced by nuclear transfer often show abnormal development . Making cloned mammals was highly inefficient -- in 1996 Dolly was the only lamb that survived to adulthood from 277 attempts . By 2014 Chinese scientists were reported to have 70 -- 80 % success rates cloning pigs and in 2016 , a Korean company , Sooam Biotech , was producing 500 cloned embryos a day . Wilmut , who led the team that created Dolly , announced in 2007 that the nuclear transfer technique may never be sufficiently efficient for use in humans . Cloning may have uses in preserving endangered species and may become a viable tool for reviving extinct species . In January 2009 , scientists from the Centre of Food Technology and Research of Aragon , in northern Spain announced the cloning of the Pyrenean ibex , a form of wild mountain goat , which was officially declared extinct in 2000 . Although the newborn ibex died shortly after birth due to physical defects in its lungs , it is the first time an extinct animal has been cloned , and may open doors for saving endangered and newly extinct species by resurrecting them from frozen tissue . In July 2016 , four identical clones of Dolly ( Daisy , Debbie , Dianna , and Denise ) were alive and healthy at nine years old . Scientific American concluded in 2016 that the main legacy of Dolly the sheep has not been cloning of animals but in advances into stem cell research . After Dolly , researchers realised that ordinary cells could be reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem cells which can be grown into any tissue . The first successful cloning of a primate species using the same method for producing Dolly was reported in January 2018 . Two identical clones of a macaque monkey , Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua , were created by researchers in China and were born in late 2017 .

-5135968555747429572 | List of Ashes series | List of Ashes series - wikipedia List of Ashes series The Ashes urn , which remains at the MCC Museum at Lord 's . A replica urn is presented to the winning captain . The Ashes is a Test cricket series played between England and Australia . The series have varied in length , consisting of between one and seven Test matches , but since 1998 have been consistently five matches . It is one of sport 's most celebrated rivalries and dates back to 1882 . It is generally played biennially , alternating between the United Kingdom and Australia . Australia are the current holders of the Ashes , having clinched the 2017 - 18 series in the third test in Perth . Although the first Test series played between England and Australia was in the 1876 -- 77 season , the Ashes originated from the solitary Test which the two nations contested in 1882 . England lost the match , played at The Oval , and a mock obituary was posted in The Sporting Times , declaring the death of English cricket . It stated that : `` The body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia . '' The Honourable Ivo Bligh adopted the term and , as captain of the English party that travelled to Australia the following winter , promised to bring the `` Ashes '' home . After its loss to Australia in 1882 , England won the next eight series between the two sides , during which time it lost only four of the 22 Tests . Australia won an Ashes series for the first time in 1891 -- 92 , when it beat England 2 -- 1 . The 1932 -- 33 tour was known as the `` Bodyline series '' as , in response to the talented Australian batsman Don Bradman , England developed a tactic of bowling quickly at the body of the batsmen with most of the fielders placed in a close ring on the leg side . England won the series , but the tactic prompted changes to the laws of cricket , and the Australians , buoyed by the batting of Bradman , regained the Ashes during the next series and then held them for six series , spanning nineteen years . It was during this period that the Australians travelled to England in 1948 , and remained unbeaten during the whole tour , gaining the nickname of `` The Invincibles '' . In addition to winning the five match Test series 4 -- 0 , Australia won or drew all of its 29 other matches against county and representative sides . Australia has won more Ashes Tests than England , winning 134 of the 330 matches , compared to England 's 106 victories . Australia also holds the edge in Ashes series won , having won on 33 occasions compared to England 's 32 . There have been five drawn series , and on four of these occasions , Australia has retained the Ashes due to being holders going into the series . England has retained the Ashes after a drawn series once . On only three occasions has a team won all the Tests in an Ashes series ; Australia won all five matches in 1920 -- 21 , then repeated the feat in 2006 -- 07 and in 2013 -- 14 . England 's largest winning margin in an Ashes series was in 1978 -- 79 , when it won 5 -- 1 . Both England and Australia have held the Ashes for eight series in a row , England doing so between 1882 -- 83 and 1890 , while Australia achieved the feat from 1989 to 2002 -- 03 . Since 1882 , a small number of Test series have been played between the two sides that have not been allocated as Ashes series ; those played in 1976 -- 77 , 1979 -- 80 , 1980 and 1987 -- 88 , these series are not listed in the table below .

He has a close and loving family : parents Emily and Jack , and sister Nora , as well as three best friends : Nick and Leah , whom he has known most of his life , and newcomer Abby . One day , Leah informs Simon about an online confession of a closeted gay student at their high school , known only by the pseudonym `` Blue '' . As `` Jacques '' , Simon begins communicating with him via email . The two confide personal details and form a connection . However , their emails are accidentally discovered by another student , Martin , who is infatuated with Abby . After learning his secret , Martin blackmails Simon by threatening to make his emails public unless he agrees to help Martin win over Abby . Simon begins to suspect that his classmate Bram is Blue . At a Halloween party , Simon attempts to connect with Bram but later walks in on him making out with a female student . Simon lies to Nick , telling him that Abby has a boyfriend in college . Leah walks an inebriated Simon home , where she speaks vaguely about how she feels that she is fated to love one person very intensely ; Simon believes she is referring to Nick . Simon meets up with Abby and Martin at a local diner after he convinces them to practice lines together for an upcoming musical . Simon bonds with their server , a classmate named Lyle , and believes that Lyle may be Blue . That night , Simon comes out to Abby and is relieved when she reacts positively . At a school football game , Simon crosses paths with Lyle ; before he can summon the courage to ask if Lyle is Blue , he finds out Lyle is interested in Abby . An upset Simon tells a pestering Martin to either `` go big or go home '' when courting Abby . Martin interrupts the national anthem and publicly declares his feelings for Abby . When Abby admits she does not share his feelings , Martin is humiliated and becomes the subject of intense ridicule . On Christmas Eve , to distract people from his own humiliation , Martin outs Simon by posting his emails on the school gossip site . Simon 's sister Nora tries to comfort Simon but he shuts her out and does not return his friends ' frantic texts . Simon comes out to his parents on Christmas morning , to their surprise but acceptance . After the holidays , Nick and Abby , now a couple , angrily confront Simon about the lies he told and learn that he had tried to keep them apart due to Martin 's blackmail . Leah confesses to Simon that she was in love with him , not Nick , and is upset he came out to Abby first . After being rejected by his friends , Simon receives a final email from Blue , who is upset that their emails have been leaked . Blue tells Simon that they should stop speaking and deletes his email account . Simon is devastated , having lost his friends as well as the mystery pen - pal he has fallen in love with . In the cafeteria , Simon and an openly gay student , Ethan , are mocked by two classmates . Ethan and Simon bond over the difficulties they have faced coming out . After his parents reach out and comfort him , Simon apologizes to Leah . Simon posts a confession on the gossip site apologizing to his friends , seeking out Blue and asking him to meet at the school carnival . After the school musical , Leah , Nick and Abby make amends with Simon and invite him to go to the carnival with them . Waiting for Blue at the carnival , Simon rides the Ferris wheel , drawing a large crowd of peers . When Simon runs out of tickets , Martin , making amends for his behavior , buys him one more ride . Just before the ride begins , Bram sits next to Simon , revealing himself as Blue ; the kiss Simon saw with the female student was a drunken misunderstanding . They ride the Ferris wheel together and kiss as their friends cheer them on . Simon 's life gradually returns to normal and he begins a relationship with Bram . While picking up his friends and boyfriend for school , Simon suggests that they forgo their usual morning routine and instead `` go on a little adventure '' .

Filming officially ended on April 23 , 2017 . Aware of how expensive the cost of the music would be in the film , Berlanti made the decision to end shooting two days early . Of the decision , he said `` I did know that a lot of the film was made in homage to movies that had these great soundtracks that , at my age , you 'd play the cassette tape over and over again until it would wear out . The soundtrack was the thing that kept you feeling the emotions of the movie . So it was always on my wish list to have a soundtrack that was reflective of that . It was very expensive so everyone wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing . I wanted more money to be put into the music .

5533640748462336222 | History of field hockey | History of field hockey - wikipedia History of field hockey Jump to : navigation , search Hockey is a popular game possibly depicted on walls in Egypt . Drawings of what looks to be hockey have been found in an Egyptian tomb that was 4000 years old . Hockey is a popular game in India and Pakistan . It was played for hundreds of years before other countries like England modernised it . Hockey is similar to an ancient game played in Scotland called shinty . Hockey is often played at schools in the UK but its origins are unclear . Later came ice hockey , which developed in Canada . Contents ( hide ) 1 Games similar to hockey outside the West 2 Modern hockey 3 Women 's hockey 4 The synthetic revolution 5 Rules 6 Footnotes 7 External links Games similar to hockey outside the west ( edit ) Stick and ball games with some similarities to field hockey include the Irish game of hurling ( and its Scottish cousin shinty ) . In Inner Mongolia , China , the Daur people have been playing Beikou ( a game similar to modern field hockey ) for about 1,000 years . European settlers in Chile in the 16th century described a hockey - like game of the Araucano Indians called chueca ( or ' the twisted one ' from the twisted end of the stick used by players ) . In Western Australia , early white settlers witnessed Noongar people played a game called dumbung , in which bent sticks were used to hit a ball made of dried sap from the native peartree. ( 1 ) ( The game is believed to be the source of the name of Dumbleyung , a town near where it was played . ) Modern hockey ( edit ) A game called hockey was played in English public schools in the early 19th century . Lord Lytton wrote in 1853 that On the common some young men were playing at hockey . That old - fashioned game , now very uncommon in England , except at schools ... Hockey 's popularity increased with that of other team games . A version of the game played in south - east London was rougher than the modern version , played on a very large field ( 247m by 64m ) , and used a cube of black rubber and rough planed sticks . The modern game was developed on the other side of London by Middlesex cricket clubs , especially Teddington Hockey Club . The members of these clubs were looking for winter exercise , but did not particularly care for football . In 1870 , members of the Teddington cricket club , who had recently moved to play in Bushy Park , were looking for a winter activity . They experimented with a ' stick ' game , based loosely on the rules of association football . Teddington played the game on the smooth outfield of their cricket pitch and used a cricket ball , so allowing smooth and predictable motion . By 1874 they had begun to draw up rules for their game , including banning the raising of the stick above shoulder height and stipulating that a shot at goal must take place within the circle in front of it . An association was formed in 1875 , which dissolved after seven years , but in 1886 the Hockey Association was formed by seven London clubs and representatives from Trinity College , Cambridge . Blackheath were one of the founder members , but refused to accept the rules drawn up by the other clubs and left to found the National Hockey Union . The Union failed , but the Association grew rapidly . They rejected a form of the game that involved a 7oz ( 200g ) rubber cube , catching , marking and scrimmaging , based on rugby football , at the time favoured by the Blackheath club . The Teddington club chose to limit the number per side to eleven , and preferred to play with old cricket balls . They also introduced the idea of the striking circle ( ' the dee ' or ' D ' ) , and they played several games in Bushy Park , in the winter of 1871 . Clubs were also set up in Richmond and Surbiton in 1874 , and inter-club matches were played between them and Teddington . The game grew sporadically , as the clubs did not always agree on the rules ! In the late 19th century , largely due to the British Army , the game spread throughout the British Empire , leading to the first international competition in 1895 ( Ireland 3 , Wales 0 ) . The International Rules Board was founded in 1895 , and hockey first appeared at the Olympic Games as a men 's competition at 1908 Olympic Games in London , with only three teams : England , Ireland and Scotland . Men 's hockey became a permanent fixture at the Olympics at the 1928 Olympic Games , at Amsterdam . The first step towards an international structuring occurred in 1909 , when England and Belgium agreed to recognize each other for international competitions , soon joined in by the French federation . In 1924 , the International Hockey Federation ( FIH , Fédération Internationale de Hockey ) was founded in Paris , under the initiative of the French man , Paul Léautey , as a response to hockey 's omission from the 1924 Paris Game . The founding members were Austria , Belgium , Czechoslovakia , France , Hungary , Spain , and Switzerland . The development of the FIH owes a lot to the work of Réné George Frank , a Belgian , in the years after the Second World War until the 1970s . Men 's hockey united under the FIH in 1970 , when the Hockey Association joined and the International Rules Board became part of the FIH 's structure . The game had been taken to India by British servicemen , and the first clubs formed there in Calcutta in 1885 . The Beighton Cup and the Aga Khan tournament had commenced within ten years . Entering the Olympic Games in 1928 , India won all five of its games without conceding a goal , and went on to win in 1932 until 1956 , and then in 1964 and 1980 . Pakistan won in 1960 , 1968 , and 1984 . Women 's hockey ( edit ) Women 's hockey developed separately from men 's hockey . Women do not seem to have played hockey widely before the modern era . Women 's hockey was first played at British Universities and schools , and the first club , Molesey Ladies Hockey Club , was founded in 1887 . The first national association was the Irish Ladies Hockey Union in 1894 , and though rebuffed by the Hockey Association , women 's hockey grew rapidly around the world . This led to the formation of the International Federation of Women 's Hockey Associations ( IFWHA ) in 1927 , though this did not include initially many continental European countries where women played as sections of men 's associations and were affiliated to the FIH . The IFWHA held conferences every three years , and the tournaments associated with these were the primary IFWHA competitions . These tournaments were non-competitive until 1975 . By the early 1970s there were 22 associations with women 's sections in the FIH and 36 associations in the IFWHA . Discussions were started about a common rule book . The FIH introduced competitive tournaments in 1974 , forcing the acceptance of the principle of competitive hockey by the IFWHA in 1973 . It took until 1982 for the two bodies to merge , but this allowed the introduction of women 's hockey to the 1980 Olympic Games , where , as in the men 's game , Australia , Germany , and the Netherlands have been consistently strong . The synthetic revolution ( edit ) Further information : Field hockey pitch § Playing surface Grass Playing Surface Synthetic turf at Anna Stadium , Trichy In the early 1970s , the `` synthetic grass '' fields began to be used for hockey , with the first Olympic Games on this surface being held at the 1976 Montreal edition . Synthetic pitches are now mandatory for all the international tournaments and for most of the national competitions . While hockey is still played on grass fields at some local levels and lesser national divisions , it has been replaced by synthetic turf almost everywhere in the western world . The game , as well as the material used to play it , has taken a definitive turn with the introduction of the synthetic field , gaining in speed , losing , some would say , in skills . What is clear is that the game has deeply evolved . In order to take into account the specificities of this surface , new tactics , new techniques ( such as the indian dribble ) have been developed and new rules have been settled , often , in order to frame , these new techniques . Regarding the evolution of the hockey player material , the sticks have changed shape , with the bent head at the bottom , which used to be about 15 centimetres long , becoming much stubbier . The extra length was no longer necessary , as the ball travelled much straighter on the flatter synthetic fields . The shorter length made playing the ball with the `` backhand '' ( playing with the head of the stick to the player 's left , with the head rotated 180 degrees from its usual position ) much easier , increasing the speed with which this tactic , often used for evasive manoeuvres , could be used . It also makes trapping the ball by placing the entire stick on the ground , with the point of the head resting on the ground to the player 's left , possible , and this stopping technique is now universal for trapping the ball at penalty corners . The sticks also tend to become more and stiffer as to hit the ball harder . Fibreglass , carbon fibre and kevlar were first applied to the traditional wood core in the early 1970s . Sticks with an aluminium core have been produced but are now prohibited due to the danger they pose when broken . Wooden sticks are less and less common , and players are now playing with sticks entirely made of synthetic composite materials . The goalkeeper equipment has followed the same trend , becoming more and more able to resist to strength of the balls hit by these new generation sticks . Helmets have become compulsory , padding is thicker and of more shock - absorbing ( and reflecting ) foam material and more areas of the body are padded . The new equipment is very expensive and is often a considerable burden for clubs or individual goalkeepers to purchase . The composition of the hockey ball has also changed , from a leather ball with a seam similar to a cricket ball , to a seamless , usually dimpled hard plastic ball . These plastic balls are cheaper , more durable , more consistent in their behaviour , and are unaffected by water ; a key requirement in water - moderated synthetic fields used in elite - level hockey . Ancillary player equipment has also changed . The studded boots for grass fields are banned ( and were in any case very uncomfortable ) on synthetics , and have been replaced with boots specifically designed for synthetic turf . Shin guards have improved padding . Many players have taken to wearing padded gloves , particularly on their left hand , both to protect against contact and allow them to scrape that hand ( while holding the stick ) across the synthetic turf without injury . Finally , the wearing of mouthguards to protect the teeth is now compulsory for safety in many countries . Rules ( edit ) The rules of the game have widely changed . The main issues have been To adapt the game to the new synthetic fields introduced in the 1980s . To enhance comprehension from non-players in order to gain TV coverage Some of these rules changes : The FIH eliminated the offside rule ( similar to offside in football ) in the mid-1990s in order to increase scoring opportunities . Constant modifications of the penalty corner rules in order to minimize its importance in the game and its readability . Limitation of the bow of sticks in order to limit the increasing use and power of drag flicks .

Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( October 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) `` Hills Like White Elephants '' is a short story by Ernest Hemingway . It was first published in August 1927 , in the literary magazine transition , then later in the 1927 short story collection Men Without Women . Contents ( hide ) 1 Synopsis 2 Dialogue 3 References 4 Sources Synopsis ( edit ) The story focuses on a conversation between an American man and a woman at a Spanish train station while waiting for a train to Madrid . The woman compares the nearby hills to white elephants . The pair indirectly discuss an `` operation '' that the man apparently wants the woman to have , which is implied to be an abortion . Dialogue ( edit ) `` They look like white elephants , '' she said . `` I 've never seen one , '' the man drank his beer . `` No , you would n't have . '' `` I might have , '' the man said . `` Just because you say I would n't have does n't prove anything . '' The girl looked at the bead curtain . `` They 've painted something on it , '' she said . `` What does it say ? '' `` Anis del Toro . It 's a drink . '' `` Could we try it ? '' The reader must interpret their dialogue and body language to infer their backgrounds and their attitudes with respect to the situation at hand , and their attitudes toward one another . From the outset of the story , the contentious nature of the couple 's conversation indicates resentment and unease . Some critics have written that the dialogue is a distillation of the contrasts between stereotypical male and female relationship roles : in the excerpt above , for instance , the woman draws the comparison with white elephants , but the hyper - rational male immediately denies it , dissolving the bit of poetry into objective realism with `` I 've never seen one . '' By saying , `` No , you would n't have '' she implies he had n't had a child before , or had n't allowed birth in the past . She also asks his permission to order a drink . Throughout the story , the woman is distant ; the American is rational . There may be more serious problems with the relationship than the purely circumstantial . While most critics have espoused relatively straightforward interpretations of the dialogue , a few have argued for alternate scenarios .

'' Formed in 1945 at the Bretton Woods Conference primarily by the ideas of Harry Dexter White and John Maynard Keynes , it came into formal existence in 1945 with 29 member countries and the goal of reconstructing the international payment system . It now plays a central role in the management of balance of payments difficulties and international financial crises . Countries contribute funds to a pool through a quota system from which countries experiencing balance of payments problems can borrow money . As of 2016 , the fund had SDR 477 billion ( about $666 billion ) . Through the fund , and other activities such as the gathering of statistics and analysis , surveillance of its members ' economies and the demand for particular policies , the IMF works to improve the economies of its member countries . The organisation 's objectives stated in the Articles of Agreement are : to promote international monetary co-operation , international trade , high employment , exchange - rate stability , sustainable economic growth , and making resources available to member countries in financial difficulty .

The rationale for this is that private international capital markets function imperfectly and many countries have limited access to financial markets . Such market imperfections , together with balance - of - payments financing , provide the justification for official financing , without which many countries could only correct large external payment imbalances through measures with adverse economic consequences . The IMF provides alternate sources of financing . Upon the founding of the IMF , its three primary functions were : to oversee the fixed exchange rate arrangements between countries , thus helping national governments manage their exchange rates and allowing these governments to prioritise economic growth , and to provide short - term capital to aid the balance of payments . This assistance was meant to prevent the spread of international economic crises . The IMF was also intended to help mend the pieces of the international economy after the Great Depression and World War II . As well , to provide capital investments for economic growth and projects such as infrastructure . The IMF 's role was fundamentally altered by the floating exchange rates post-1971 . It shifted to examining the economic policies of countries with IMF loan agreements to determine if a shortage of capital was due to economic fluctuations or economic policy . The IMF also researched what types of government policy would ensure economic recovery . A particular concern of the IMF was to prevent financial crisis , such as those in Mexico 1982 , Brazil in 1987 , East Asia in 1997 -- 98 and Russia in 1998 , from spreading and threatening the entire global financial and currency system . The challenge was to promote and implement policy that reduced the frequency of crises among the emerging market countries , especially the middle - income countries which are vulnerable to massive capital outflows . Rather than maintaining a position of oversight of only exchange rates , their function became one of surveillance of the overall macroeconomic performance of member countries . Their role became a lot more active because the IMF now manages economic policy rather than just exchange rates . In addition , the IMF negotiates conditions on lending and loans under their policy of conditionality , which was established in the 1950s . Low - income countries can borrow on concessional terms , which means there is a period of time with no interest rates , through the Extended Credit Facility ( ECF ) , the Standby Credit Facility ( SCF ) and the Rapid Credit Facility ( RCF ) . Nonconcessional loans , which include interest rates , are provided mainly through Stand - By Arrangements ( SBA ) , the Flexible Credit Line ( FCL ) , the Precautionary and Liquidity Line ( PLL ) , and the Extended Fund Facility . The IMF provides emergency assistance via the Rapid Financing Instrument ( RFI ) to members facing urgent balance - of - payments needs . Surveillance of the global economy ( edit ) The IMF is mandated to oversee the international monetary and financial system and monitor the economic and financial policies of its member countries . This activity is known as surveillance and facilitates international co-operation . Since the demise of the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates in the early 1970s , surveillance has evolved largely by way of changes in procedures rather than through the adoption of new obligations . The responsibilities changed from those of guardian to those of overseer of members ' policies . The Fund typically analyses the appropriateness of each member country 's economic and financial policies for achieving orderly economic growth , and assesses the consequences of these policies for other countries and for the global economy . IMF Data Dissemination Systems participants : IMF member using SDDS IMF member using GDDS IMF member , not using any of the DDSystems non-IMF entity using SDDS non-IMF entity using GDDS no interaction with the IMF In 1995 the International Monetary Fund began work on data dissemination standards with the view of guiding IMF member countries to disseminate their economic and financial data to the public . The International Monetary and Financial Committee ( IMFC ) endorsed the guidelines for the dissemination standards and they were split into two tiers : The General Data Dissemination System ( GDDS ) and the Special Data Dissemination Standard ( SDDS ) . The executive board approved the SDDS and GDDS in 1996 and 1997 respectively , and subsequent amendments were published in a revised Guide to the General Data Dissemination System . The system is aimed primarily at statisticians and aims to improve many aspects of statistical systems in a country . It is also part of the World Bank Millennium Development Goals and Poverty Reduction Strategic Papers . The primary objective of the GDDS is to encourage member countries to build a framework to improve data quality and statistical capacity building to evaluate statistical needs , set priorities in improving the timeliness , transparency , reliability and accessibility of financial and economic data . Some countries initially used the GDDS , but later upgraded to SDDS . Some entities that are not themselves IMF members also contribute statistical data to the systems : Palestinian Authority -- GDDS Hong Kong -- SDDS Macau -- GDDS EU institutions : the European Central Bank for the Eurozone -- SDDS Eurostat for the whole EU -- SDDS , thus providing data from Cyprus ( not using any DDSystem on its own ) and Malta ( using only GDDS on its own ) Conditionality of loans ( edit ) IMF conditionality is a set of policies or conditions that the IMF requires in exchange for financial resources . The IMF does require collateral from countries for loans but also requires the government seeking assistance to correct its macroeconomic imbalances in the form of policy reform . If the conditions are not met , the funds are withheld . The concept of conditionality was introduced in a 1952 Executive Board decision and later incorporated into the Articles of Agreement . Conditionality is associated with economic theory as well as an enforcement mechanism for repayment . Stemming primarily from the work of Jacques Polak , the theoretical underpinning of conditionality was the `` monetary approach to the balance of payments '' . Structural Adjustment ( edit ) Further information : Structural adjustment Some of the conditions for structural adjustment can include : Cutting expenditures , also known as austerity . Focusing economic output on direct export and resource extraction , Devaluation of currencies , Trade liberalisation , or lifting import and export restrictions , Increasing the stability of investment ( by supplementing foreign direct investment with the opening of domestic stock markets ) , Balancing budgets and not overspending , Removing price controls and state subsidies , Privatization , or divestiture of all or part of state - owned enterprises , Enhancing the rights of foreign investors vis - a-vis national laws , Improving governance and fighting corruption . These conditions are known as the Washington Consensus . Benefits ( edit ) These loan conditions ensure that the borrowing country will be able to repay the IMF and that the country will not attempt to solve their balance - of - payment problems in a way that would negatively impact the international economy . The incentive problem of moral hazard -- when economic agents maximise their own utility to the detriment of others because they do not bear the full consequences of their actions -- is mitigated through conditions rather than providing collateral ; countries in need of IMF loans do not generally possess internationally valuable collateral anyway . Conditionality also reassures the IMF that the funds lent to them will be used for the purposes defined by the Articles of Agreement and provides safeguards that country will be able to rectify its macroeconomic and structural imbalances . In the judgment of the IMF , the adoption by the member of certain corrective measures or policies will allow it to repay the IMF , thereby ensuring that the resources will be available to support other members . As of 2004 , borrowing countries have had a very good track record for repaying credit extended under the IMF 's regular lending facilities with full interest over the duration of the loan . This indicates that IMF lending does not impose a burden on creditor countries , as lending countries receive market - rate interest on most of their quota subscription , plus any of their own - currency subscriptions that are loaned out by the IMF , plus all of the reserve assets that they provide the IMF . History ( edit ) IMF `` Headquarters 1 '' in Washington , D.C. The IMF was originally laid out as a part of the Bretton Woods system exchange agreement in 1944 . During the Great Depression , countries sharply raised barriers to trade in an attempt to improve their failing economies . This led to the devaluation of national currencies and a decline in world trade . The Gold Room within the Mount Washington Hotel where the Bretton Woods Conference attendees signed the agreements creating the IMF and World Bank This breakdown in international monetary co-operation created a need for oversight . The representatives of 45 governments met at the Bretton Woods Conference in the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods , New Hampshire , in the United States , to discuss a framework for postwar international economic co-operation and how to rebuild Europe . There were two views on the role the IMF should assume as a global economic institution . American delegate Harry Dexter White foresaw an IMF that functioned more like a bank , making sure that borrowing states could repay their debts on time . Most of White 's plan was incorporated into the final acts adopted at Bretton Woods . British economist John Maynard Keynes imagined that the IMF would be a cooperative fund upon which member states could draw to maintain economic activity and employment through periodic crises . This view suggested an IMF that helped governments and to act as the United States government had during the New Deal in response to World War II . First page of the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund , 1 March 1946 . Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs archives The IMF formally came into existence on 27 December 1945 , when the first 29 countries ratified its Articles of Agreement . By the end of 1946 the IMF had grown to 39 members . On 1 March 1947 , the IMF began its financial operations , and on 8 May France became the first country to borrow from it . Plaque Commemorating the Formation of the IMF in July 1944 at the Bretton Woods Conference The IMF was one of the key organisations of the international economic system ; its design allowed the system to balance the rebuilding of international capitalism with the maximisation of national economic sovereignty and human welfare , also known as embedded liberalism . The IMF 's influence in the global economy steadily increased as it accumulated more members . The increase reflected in particular the attainment of political independence by many African countries and more recently the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union because most countries in the Soviet sphere of influence did not join the IMF . The Bretton Woods system prevailed until 1971 , when the United States government suspended the convertibility of the US $ ( and dollar reserves held by other governments ) into gold . This is known as the Nixon Shock . The changes to the IMF articles of agreement reflecting these changes were ratified by the 1976 Jamaica Accords . Since 2000 ( edit ) The IMF provided two major lending packages in the early 2000s to Argentina ( during the 1998 -- 2002 Argentine great depression ) and Uruguay ( after the 2002 Uruguay banking crisis ) . However , by the mid-2000s , IMF lending was at its lowest share of world GDP since the 1970s . In May 2010 , the IMF participated , in 3 : 11 proportion , in the first Greek bailout that totalled € 110 billion , to address the great accumulation of public debt , caused by continuing large public sector deficits . As part of the bailout , the Greek government agreed to adopt austerity measures that would reduce the deficit from 11 % in 2009 to `` well below 3 % '' in 2014 . The bailout did not include debt restructuring measures such as a haircut , to the chagrin of the Swiss , Brazilian , Indian , Russian , and Argentinian Directors of the IMF , with the Greek authorities themselves ( at the time , PM George Papandreou and Finance Minister Giorgos Papakonstantinou ) ruling out a haircut . A second bailout package of more than € 100 billion was agreed over the course of a few months from October 2011 , during which time Papandreou was forced from office . The so - called Troika , of which the IMF is part , are joint managers of this programme , which was approved by the Executive Directors of the IMF on 15 March 2012 for SDR23. 8 billion , and which saw private bondholders take a haircut of upwards of 50 % . In the interval between May 2010 and February 2012 the private banks of Holland , France and Germany reduced exposure to Greek debt from € 122 billion to € 66 billion . As of January 2012 , the largest borrowers from the IMF in order were Greece , Portugal , Ireland , Romania , and Ukraine . On 25 March 2013 , a € 10 billion international bailout of Cyprus was agreed by the Troika , at the cost to the Cypriots of its agreement : to close the country 's second - largest bank ; to impose a one - time bank deposit levy on Bank of Cyprus uninsured deposits . No insured deposit of € 100k or less were to be affected under the terms of a novel bail - in scheme . The topic of sovereign debt restructuring was taken up by the IMF in April 2013 for the first time since 2005 , in a report entitled `` Sovereign Debt Restructuring : Recent Developments and Implications for the Fund 's Legal and Policy Framework '' . The paper , which was discussed by the board on 20 May , summarised the recent experiences in Greece , St Kitts and Nevis , Belize , and Jamaica . An explanatory interview with Deputy Director Hugh Bredenkamp was published a few days later , as was a deconstruction by Matina Stevis of the Wall Street Journal . In the October 2013 Fiscal Monitor publication , the IMF suggested that a capital levy capable of reducing Euro - area government debt ratios to `` end - 2007 levels '' would require a very high tax rate of about 10 % . The Fiscal Affairs department of the IMF , headed at the time by Acting Director Sanjeev Gupta , produced a January 2014 report entitled `` Fiscal Policy and Income Inequality '' that stated that `` Some taxes levied on wealth , especially on immovable property , are also an option for economies seeking more progressive taxation ... Property taxes are equitable and efficient , but underutilized in many economies ... There is considerable scope to exploit this tax more fully , both as a revenue source and as a redistributive instrument . '' At the end of March 2014 , the IMF secured an $18 billion bailout fund for the provisional government of Ukraine in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution . Member countries ( edit ) IMF member states IMF member states not accepting the obligations of Article VIII , Sections 2 , 3 , and 4 Not all member countries of the IMF are sovereign states , and therefore not all `` member countries '' of the IMF are members of the United Nations . Amidst `` member countries '' of the IMF that are not member states of the UN are non-sovereign areas with special jurisdictions that are officially under the sovereignty of full UN member states , such as Aruba , Curaçao , Hong Kong , and Macau , as well as Kosovo . The corporate members appoint ex-officio voting members , who are listed below . All members of the IMF are also International Bank for Reconstruction and Development ( IBRD ) members and vice versa . Former members are Cuba ( which left in 1964 ) , and the Republic of China ( Taiwan ) , which was ejected from the UN in 1980 after losing the support of then United States President Jimmy Carter and was replaced by the People 's Republic of China . However , `` Taiwan Province of China '' is still listed in the official IMF indices . Apart from Cuba , the other UN states that do not belong to the IMF are Andorra , Liechtenstein , Monaco and North Korea . The former Czechoslovakia was expelled in 1954 for `` failing to provide required data '' and was readmitted in 1990 , after the Velvet Revolution . Poland withdrew in 1950 -- allegedly pressured by the Soviet Union -- but returned in 1986 . Qualifications ( edit ) Any country may apply to be a part of the IMF . Post-IMF formation , in the early postwar period , rules for IMF membership were left relatively loose . Members needed to make periodic membership payments towards their quota , to refrain from currency restrictions unless granted IMF permission , to abide by the Code of Conduct in the IMF Articles of Agreement , and to provide national economic information . However , stricter rules were imposed on governments that applied to the IMF for funding . The countries that joined the IMF between 1945 and 1971 agreed to keep their exchange rates secured at rates that could be adjusted only to correct a `` fundamental disequilibrium '' in the balance of payments , and only with the IMF 's agreement . Some members have a very difficult relationship with the IMF and even when they are still members they do not allow themselves to be monitored. ( source ? ) Benefits ( edit ) Member countries of the IMF have access to information on the economic policies of all member countries , the opportunity to influence other members ' economic policies , technical assistance in banking , fiscal affairs , and exchange matters , financial support in times of payment difficulties , and increased opportunities for trade and investment .

( February 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Board of Governors ( edit ) The Board of Governors consists of one governor and one alternate governor for each member country . Each member country appoints its two governors . The Board normally meets once a year and is responsible for electing or appointing executive directors to the Executive Board . While the Board of Governors is officially responsible for approving quota increases , Special Drawing Right allocations , the admittance of new members , compulsory withdrawal of members , and amendments to the Articles of Agreement and By - Laws , in practice it has delegated most of its powers to the IMF 's Executive Board . The Board of Governors is advised by the International Monetary and Financial Committee and the Development Committee . The International Monetary and Financial Committee has 24 members and monitors developments in global liquidity and the transfer of resources to developing countries . The Development Committee has 25 members and advises on critical development issues and on financial resources required to promote economic development in developing countries . They also advise on trade and environmental issues . Executive Board ( edit ) 24 Executive Directors make up Executive Board . The Executive Directors represent all 189 member countries in a geographically based roster . Countries with large economies have their own Executive Director , but most countries are grouped in constituencies representing four or more countries . Following the 2008 Amendment on Voice and Participation which came into effect in March 2011 , eight countries each appoint an Executive Director : the United States , Japan , China , Germany , France , the United Kingdom , Russia , and Saudi Arabia . The remaining 16 Directors represent constituencies consisting of 4 to 22 countries . The Executive Director representing the largest constituency of 22 countries accounts for 1.55 % of the vote . This Board usually meets several times each week . The Board membership and constituency is scheduled for periodic review every eight years .

The managing director is assisted by a First Deputy managing director and three other Deputy Managing Directors . Historically the IMF 's managing director has been European and the president of the World Bank has been from the United States . However , this standard is increasingly being questioned and competition for these two posts may soon open up to include other qualified candidates from any part of the world . In 2011 the world 's largest developing countries , the BRIC nations , issued a statement declaring that the tradition of appointing a European as managing director undermined the legitimacy of the IMF and called for the appointment to be merit - based .

Previous managing director Dominique Strauss - Kahn was arrested in connection with charges of sexually assaulting a New York hotel room attendant and resigned on 18 May . The charges were later dropped . On 28 June 2011 Christine Lagarde was confirmed as managing director of the IMF for a five - year term starting on 5 July 2011 . In 2012 , Lagarde was paid a tax - exempt salary of US $467,940 , and this is automatically increased every year according to inflation . In addition , the director receives an allowance of US $83,760 and additional expenses for entertainment . Voting power ( edit ) Voting power in the IMF is based on a quota system . Each member has a number of basic votes ( each member 's number of basic votes equals 5.502 % of the total votes ) , plus one additional vote for each Special Drawing Right ( SDR ) of 100,000 of a member country 's quota . The Special Drawing Right is the unit of account of the IMF and represents a claim to currency . It is based on a basket of key international currencies . The basic votes generate a slight bias in favour of small countries , but the additional votes determined by SDR outweigh this bias . Changes in the voting shares require approval by a supermajority of 85 % of voting power . The table below shows quota and voting shares for IMF members Rank IMF Member country Quota : millions of SDRs Quota : percentage of the total Governor Alternative Number of votes Percentage out of total votes United States 82,994.2 17.68 Steven Mnuchin Jerome Powell 831,396 16.73 Japan 30,820.5 6.56 Taro Aso Haruhiko Kuroda 309,659 6.23 China 30,482.9 6.49 Zhou Xiaochuan Gang Yi 306,283 6.16 Germany 26,634.4 5.67 Jens Weidmann Wolfgang Schäuble 267,798 5.39 5 France 20,155.1 4.29 Bruno Le Maire François Villeroy de Galhau 203,005 4.09 6 United Kingdom 20,155.1 4.29 Philip Hammond Mark Carney 203,005 4.09 7 Italy 15,070.0 3.21 Pier Carlo Padoan Ignazio Visco 152,154 3.06 8 India 13,114.4 2.79 Piyush Goyal Urjit Patel 132,598 2.67 9 Russia 12,903.7 2.75 Anton Siluanov Elvira S.

Martowardojo Mahendra Siregar 47,938 0.96 In December 2015 , the United States Congress adopted a legislation authorising the 2010 Quota and Governance Reforms . As a result , all 188 members ' quotas will increase from a total of about SDR 238.5 billion to about SDR 477 billion , while the quota shares and voting power of the IMF 's poorest member countries will be protected . more than 6 percent of quota shares will shift to dynamic emerging market and developing countries and also from over-represented to under - represented members . four emerging market countries ( Brazil , China , India , and Russia ) will be among the ten largest members of the IMF . Other top 10 members are the United States , Japan , Germany , France , the United Kingdom and Italy . Effects of the quota system ( edit ) The IMF 's quota system was created to raise funds for loans . Each IMF member country is assigned a quota , or contribution , that reflects the country 's relative size in the global economy . Each member 's quota also determines its relative voting power . Thus , financial contributions from member governments are linked to voting power in the organisation . This system follows the logic of a shareholder - controlled organisation : wealthy countries have more say in the making and revision of rules . Since decision making at the IMF reflects each member 's relative economic position in the world , wealthier countries that provide more money to the IMF have more influence than poorer members that contribute less ; nonetheless , the IMF focuses on redistribution . Inflexibility of voting power ( edit ) Quotas are normally reviewed every five years and can be increased when deemed necessary by the Board of Governors . IMF voting shares are relatively inflexible : countries that grow economically have tended to become under - represented as their voting power lags behind . Currently , reforming the representation of developing countries within the IMF has been suggested . These countries ' economies represent a large portion of the global economic system but this is not reflected in the IMF 's decision making process through the nature of the quota system . Joseph Stiglitz argues , `` There is a need to provide more effective voice and representation for developing countries , which now represent a much larger portion of world economic activity since 1944 , when the IMF was created . '' In 2008 , a number of quota reforms were passed including shifting 6 % of quota shares to dynamic emerging markets and developing countries . Overcoming borrower / creditor divide ( edit ) The IMF 's membership is divided along income lines : certain countries provide the financial resources while others use these resources . Both developed country `` creditors '' and developing country `` borrowers '' are members of the IMF . The developed countries provide the financial resources but rarely enter into IMF loan agreements ; they are the creditors . Conversely , the developing countries use the lending services but contribute little to the pool of money available to lend because their quotas are smaller ; they are the borrowers . Thus , tension is created around governance issues because these two groups , creditors and borrowers , have fundamentally different interests . The criticism is that the system of voting power distribution through a quota system institutionalises borrower subordination and creditor dominance . The resulting division of the IMF 's membership into borrowers and non-borrowers has increased the controversy around conditionality because the borrowers are interested in increasing loan access while creditors want to maintain reassurance that the loans will be repaid . Use ( edit ) A recent source revealed that the average overall use of IMF credit per decade increased , in real terms , by 21 % between the 1970s and 1980s , and increased again by just over 22 % from the 1980s to the 1991 -- 2005 period . Another study has suggested that since 1950 the continent of Africa alone has received $300 billion from the IMF , the World Bank , and affiliate institutions . A study by Bumba Mukherjee found that developing democratic countries benefit more from IMF programs than developing autocratic countries because policy - making , and the process of deciding where loaned money is used , is more transparent within a democracy . One study done by Randall Stone found that although earlier studies found little impact of IMF programs on balance of payments , more recent studies using more sophisticated methods and larger samples `` usually found IMF programs improved the balance of payments '' . Exceptional access Framework -- Sovereign debt ( edit ) The Exceptional Access Framework was created in 2003 when John B. Taylor was Under Secretary of the US Treasury for International Affairs . The new Framework became fully operational in February 2003 and it was applied in the subsequent decisions on Argentina and Brazil . Its purpose was to place some sensible rules and limits on the way the IMF makes loans to support governments with debt problem -- especially in emerging markets -- and thereby move away from the bailout mentality of the 1990s . Such a reform was essential for ending the crisis atmosphere that then existed in emerging markets . The reform was closely related to , and put in place nearly simultaneously with , the actions of several emerging market countries to place collective action clauses in their bond contracts . In 2010 , the framework was abandoned so the IMF could make loans to Greece in an unsustainable and political situation . The topic of sovereign debt restructuring was taken up by IMF staff in April 2013 for the first time since 2005 , in a report entitled `` Sovereign Debt Restructuring : Recent Developments and Implications for the Fund 's Legal and Policy Framework '' . The paper , which was discussed by the board on 20 May , summarised the recent experiences in Greece , St Kitts and Nevis , Belize and Jamaica . An explanatory interview with Deputy Director Hugh Bredenkamp was published a few days later , as was a deconstruction by Matina Stevis of the Wall Street Journal . The staff was directed to formulate an updated policy , which was accomplished on 22 May 2014 with a report entitled `` The Fund 's Lending Framework and Sovereign Debt : Preliminary Considerations '' , and taken up by the Executive Board on 13 June . The staff proposed that `` in circumstances where a ( Sovereign ) member has lost market access and debt is considered sustainable ... the IMF would be able to provide Exceptional Access on the basis of a debt operation that involves an extension of maturities '' , which was labelled a `` reprofiling operation '' . These reprofiling operations would `` generally be less costly to the debtor and creditors -- and thus to the system overall -- relative to either an upfront debt reduction operation or a bail - out that is followed by debt reduction ... ( and ) would be envisaged only when both ( a ) a member has lost market access and ( b ) debt is assessed to be sustainable , but not with high probability ... Creditors will only agree if they understand that such an amendment is necessary to avoid a worse outcome : namely , a default and / or an operation involving debt reduction ... Collective action clauses , which now exist in most -- but not all -- bonds , would be relied upon to address collective action problems . '' IMF and Globalization ( edit ) Globalization encompasses three institutions : global financial markets and transnational companies , national governments linked to each other in economic and military alliances led by the United States , and rising `` global governments '' such as World Trade Organization ( WTO ) , IMF , and World Bank . Charles Derber argues in his book People Before Profit , `` These interacting institutions create a new global power system where sovereignty is globalized , taking power and constitutional authority away from nations and giving it to global markets and international bodies '' . Titus Alexander argues that this system institutionalises global inequality between western countries and the Majority World in a form of global apartheid , in which the IMF is a key pillar . The establishment of globalised economic institutions has been both a symptom of and a stimulus for globalisation . The development of the World Bank , the IMF regional development banks such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ( EBRD ) , and multilateral trade institutions such as the WTO signals a move away from the dominance of the state as the exclusive unit of analysis in international affairs . Globalization has thus been transformative in terms of a reconceptualising of state sovereignty . Following United States President Bill Clinton 's administration 's aggressive financial deregulation campaign in the 1990s , globalisation leaders overturned longstanding restrictions by governments that limited foreign ownership of their banks , deregulated currency exchange , and eliminated restrictions on how quickly money could be withdrawn by foreign investors . Fund report in May 2015 , the world 's governments indirectly subsidise fossil fuel companies with $5.3 tn ( £ 3.4 tn ) a year . Most this is due to polluters not paying the costs imposed on governments by the burning of coal , oil and gas : air pollution , health problems , the floods , droughts and storms driven by climate change . Criticisms ( edit ) Overseas Development Institute ( ODI ) research undertaken in 1980 included criticisms of the IMF which support the analysis that it is a pillar of what activist Titus Alexander calls global apartheid . Developed countries were seen to have a more dominant role and control over less developed countries ( LDCs ) . Secondly , the Fund worked on the incorrect assumption that all payments disequilibria were caused domestically . The Group of 24 ( G - 24 ) , on behalf of LDC members , and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development ( UNCTAD ) complained that the IMF did not distinguish sufficiently between disequilibria with predominantly external as opposed to internal causes . This criticism was voiced in the aftermath of the 1973 oil crisis . Then LDCs found themselves with payments deficits due to adverse changes in their terms of trade , with the Fund prescribing stabilisation programmes similar to those suggested for deficits caused by government over-spending . Faced with long - term , externally generated disequilibria , the G - 24 argued for more time for LDCs to adjust their economies . Some IMF policies may be anti-developmental ; the report said that deflationary effects of IMF programmes quickly led to losses of output and employment in economies where incomes were low and unemployment was high . Moreover , the burden of the deflation is disproportionately borne by the poor . Lastly is the suggestion that the IMF 's policies lack a clear economic rationale . Its policy foundations were theoretical and unclear because of differing opinions and departmental rivalries whilst dealing with countries with widely varying economic circumstances . ODI conclusions were that the IMF 's very nature of promoting market - oriented approaches attracted unavoidable criticism . On the other hand , the IMF could serve as a scapegoat while allowing governments to blame international bankers . The ODI conceded that the IMF was insensitive to political aspirations of LDCs , while its policy conditions were inflexible . Argentina , which had been considered by the IMF to be a model country in its compliance to policy proposals by the Bretton Woods institutions , experienced a catastrophic economic crisis in 2001 , which some believe to have been caused by IMF - induced budget restrictions -- which undercut the government 's ability to sustain national infrastructure even in crucial areas such as health , education , and security -- and privatisation of strategically vital national resources . Others attribute the crisis to Argentina 's misdesigned fiscal federalism , which caused subnational spending to increase rapidly . The crisis added to widespread hatred of this institution in Argentina and other South American countries , with many blaming the IMF for the region 's economic problems . The current -- as of early 2006 -- trend toward moderate left - wing governments in the region and a growing concern with the development of a regional economic policy largely independent of big business pressures has been ascribed to this crisis . In 2006 , a senior ActionAid policy analyst Akanksha Marphatia stated that IMF policies in Africa undermine any possibility of meeting the Millennium Development Goals ( MDGs ) due to imposed restrictions that prevent spending on important sectors , such as education and health . In an interview ( 2008 - 05 - 19 ) , the former Romanian Prime Minister Călin Popescu - Tăriceanu claimed that `` Since 2005 , IMF is constantly making mistakes when it appreciates the country 's economic performances '' . Former Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere , who claimed that debt - ridden African states were ceding sovereignty to the IMF and the World Bank , famously asked , `` Who elected the IMF to be the ministry of finance for every country in the world ? '' Former chief economist of IMF and former Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ) Governor Raghuram Rajan who predicted Financial crisis of 2007 -- 08 criticised IMF for remaining a sideline player to the Developed world . He criticised IMF for praising the monetary policies of the US , which he believed were wreaking havoc in emerging markets . He had been critical of the ultra-loose money policies of the Western nations and IMF . Conditionality ( edit ) The IMF has been criticised for being `` out of touch '' with local economic conditions , cultures , and environments in the countries they are requiring policy reform . The economic advice the IMF gives might not always take into consideration the difference between what spending means on paper and how it is felt by citizens . Jeffrey Sachs argues that the IMF 's `` usual prescription is ' budgetary belt tightening to countries who are much too poor to own belts ' '' . Sachs wrote that the IMF 's role as a generalist institution specialising in macroeconomic issues needs reform . Conditionality has also been criticised because a country can pledge collateral of `` acceptable assets '' to obtain waivers -- if one assumes that all countries are able to provide `` acceptable collateral '' . One view is that conditionality undermines domestic political institutions . The recipient governments are sacrificing policy autonomy in exchange for funds , which can lead to public resentment of the local leadership for accepting and enforcing the IMF conditions . Political instability can result from more leadership turnover as political leaders are replaced in electoral backlashes . IMF conditions are often criticised for reducing government services , thus increasing unemployment . Another criticism is that IMF programs are only designed to address poor governance , excessive government spending , excessive government intervention in markets , and too much state ownership . This assumes that this narrow range of issues represents the only possible problems ; everything is standardised and differing contexts are ignored . A country may also be compelled to accept conditions it would not normally accept had they not been in a financial crisis in need of assistance . On top of that , regardless of what methodologies and data sets used , it comes to same conclusion of exacerbating income inequality . With Gini coefficient , it became clear that countries with IMF programs face increased income inequality . It is claimed that conditionalities retard social stability and hence inhibit the stated goals of the IMF , while Structural Adjustment Programs lead to an increase in poverty in recipient countries . The IMF sometimes advocates `` austerity programmes '' , cutting public spending and increasing taxes even when the economy is weak , to bring budgets closer to a balance , thus reducing budget deficits . Countries are often advised to lower their corporate tax rate . In Globalization and Its Discontents , Joseph E. Stiglitz , former chief economist and senior vice-president at the World Bank , criticises these policies . He argues that by converting to a more monetarist approach , the purpose of the fund is no longer valid , as it was designed to provide funds for countries to carry out Keynesian reflations , and that the IMF `` was not participating in a conspiracy , but it was reflecting the interests and ideology of the Western financial community '' . International politics play an important role in IMF decision making . The clout of member states is roughly proportional to its contribution to IMF finances . The United States has the greatest number of votes and therefore wields the most influence . Domestic politics often come into play , with politicians in developing countries using conditionality to gain leverage over the opposition to influence policy . Reform ( edit ) Function and policies ( edit ) The IMF is only one of many international organisations , and it is a generalist institution that deals only with macroeconomic issues ; its core areas of concern in developing countries are very narrow . One proposed reform is a movement towards close partnership with other specialist agencies such as UNICEF , the Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAO ) , and the United Nations Development Program ( UNDP ) . Jeffrey Sachs argues in The End of Poverty that the IMF and the World Bank have `` the brightest economists and the lead in advising poor countries on how to break out of poverty , but the problem is development economics '' . Development economics needs the reform , not the IMF . He also notes that IMF loan conditions should be paired with other reforms -- e.g. , trade reform in developed nations , debt cancellation , and increased financial assistance for investments in basic infrastructure . IMF loan conditions can not stand alone and produce change ; they need to be partnered with other reforms or other conditions as applicable . US influence and voting reform ( edit ) The scholarly consensus is that IMF decision - making is not simply technocratic , but also guided by political and economic concerns . The United States is the IMF 's most powerful member , and its influence reaches even into decision - making concerning individual loan agreements . The United States has historically been openly opposed to losing what Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew described in 2015 as its `` leadership role '' at the IMF , and the United States ' `` ability to shape international norms and practices '' . Reforms to give more powers to emerging economies were agreed by the G20 in 2010 . The reforms could not pass , however , until they were ratified by the US Congress , since 85 % of the Fund 's voting power was required for the reforms to take effect , and the Americans held more than 16 % of voting power at the time . After repeated criticism , the United States finally ratified the voting reforms at the end of 2015 . The OECD countries maintained their overwhelming majority of voting share , and the United States in particular retained its share at over 16 % . Support of dictatorships ( edit ) The role of the Bretton Woods institutions has been controversial since the late Cold War , because of claims that the IMF policy makers supported military dictatorships friendly to American and European corporations , but also other Anti-communist and Communist regimes ( such as Mobutu 's Zaire and Ceaușescu 's Romania , respectively ) . Critics also claim that the IMF is generally apathetic or hostile to human rights , and labour rights . The controversy has helped spark the anti-globalization movement . An example of IMF 's support for a dictatorship was its ongoing support for Mobutu 's rule in Zaire , although its own envoy , Erwin Blumenthal , provided a sobering report about the entrenched corruption and embezzlement and the inability of the country to pay back any loans . Arguments in favour of the IMF say that economic stability is a precursor to democracy ; however , critics highlight various examples in which democratised countries fell after receiving IMF loans . A 2017 study found no evidence IMF lending programs undermined democracy in borrowing countries . To the contrary , it found `` evidence for modest but definitively positive conditional differences in the democracy scores of participating and non-participating countries . '' Impact on access to food ( edit ) A number of civil society organisations have criticised the IMF 's policies for their impact on access to food , particularly in developing countries . In October 2008 , former United States president Bill Clinton delivered a speech to the United Nations on World Food Day , criticising the World Bank and IMF for their policies on food and agriculture : We need the World Bank , the IMF , all the big foundations , and all the governments to admit that , for 30 years , we all blew it , including me when I was president . We were wrong to believe that food was like some other product in international trade , and we all have to go back to a more responsible and sustainable form of agriculture . -- Former U.S. president Bill Clinton , Speech at United Nations World Food Day , October 16 , 2008 Impact on public health ( edit ) A 2009 study concluded that the strict conditions resulted in thousands of deaths in Eastern Europe by tuberculosis as public health care had to be weakened . In the 21 countries to which the IMF had given loans , tuberculosis deaths rose by 16.6 % . In 2009 , a book by Rick Rowden titled The Deadly Ideas of Neoliberalism : How the IMF has Undermined Public Health and the Fight Against AIDS , claimed that the IMF 's monetarist approach towards prioritising price stability ( low inflation ) and fiscal restraint ( low budget deficits ) was unnecessarily restrictive and has prevented developing countries from scaling up long - term investment in public health infrastructure . The book claimed the consequences have been chronically underfunded public health systems , leading to demoralising working conditions that have fuelled a `` brain drain '' of medical personnel , all of which has undermined public health and the fight against HIV / AIDS in developing countries . In 2016 , the IMF 's research department published a report titled `` Neoliberalism : Oversold ? '' which , while praising some aspects of the `` neoliberal agenda , '' claims that the organisation has been `` overselling '' fiscal austerity policies and financial deregulation , which they claim has exacerbated both financial crises and economic inequality around the world . Impact on environment ( edit ) IMF policies have been repeatedly criticised for making it difficult for indebted countries to say no to environmentally harmful projects that nevertheless generate revenues such as oil , coal , and forest - destroying lumber and agriculture projects . Ecuador , for example , had to defy IMF advice repeatedly to pursue the protection of its rainforests , though paradoxically this need was cited in the IMF argument to provide support to Ecuador . The IMF acknowledged this paradox in the 2010 report that proposed the IMF Green Fund , a mechanism to issue special drawing rights directly to pay for climate harm prevention and potentially other ecological protection as pursued generally by other environmental finance . While the response to these moves was generally positive possibly because ecological protection and energy and infrastructure transformation are more politically neutral than pressures to change social policy . Some experts voiced concern that the IMF was not representative , and that the IMF proposals to generate only US $200 billion a year by 2020 with the SDRs as seed funds , did not go far enough to undo the general incentive to pursue destructive projects inherent in the world commodity trading and banking systems -- criticisms often levelled at the World Trade Organization and large global banking institutions . In the context of the European debt crisis , some observers noted that Spain and California , two troubled economies within Europe and the United States , and also Germany , the primary and politically most fragile supporter of a euro currency bailout would benefit from IMF recognition of their leadership in green technology , and directly from Green Fund -- generated demand for their exports , which could also improve their credit ratings . Scandals ( edit ) Both Lagarde and her two predecessors Strauss - Kahn and Rato have been investigated by the authorities and have either faced trial or are scheduled to go on trial for a variety of offences . Lagarde had been accused of giving preferential treatment to businessman - turned - politician Bernard Tapie as he pursued a legal challenge against the French government . At the time , Lagarde was the French economic minister . Within hours of her conviction , in which she escaped any punishment , the fund 's 24 - member executive board put to rest any speculation that she might have to resign , praising her `` outstanding leadership '' and the `` wide respect '' she commands around the world . Alternatives ( edit ) In March 2011 the Ministers of Economy and Finance of the African Union proposed to establish an African Monetary Fund . At the 6th BRICS summit in July 2014 the BRICS nations ( Brazil , Russia , India , China , and South Africa ) announced the BRICS Contingent Reserve Arrangement ( CRA ) with an initial size of US $100 billion , a framework to provide liquidity through currency swaps in response to actual or potential short - term balance - of - payments pressures . In 2014 , the China - led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank was established . In the media ( edit ) Life and Debt , a documentary film , deals with the IMF 's policies ' influence on Jamaica and its economy from a critical point of view . Debtocracy , a 2011 independent Greek documentary film , also criticises the IMF . Portuguese musician José Mário Branco 's 1982 album FMI is inspired by the IMF 's intervention in Portugal through monitored stabilisation programs in 1977 -- 78 . In the 2015 film , Our Brand Is Crisis , the IMF is mentioned as a point of political contention .

"The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an international organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., consisting of \"189 countries working to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth, and reduce poverty around the world.\"[1] Formed in 1945 at the Bretton Woods Conference primarily by the ideas of Harry Dexter White and John Maynard Keynes,[5] it came into formal existence in 1945 with 29 member countries and the goal of reconstructing the international payment system. It now plays a central role in the management of balance of payments difficulties and international financial crises.[6] Countries contribute funds to a pool through a quota system from which countries experiencing balance of payments problems can borrow money. As of 2016[update], the fund had SDR477 billion (about $666 billion).[7]"

It has more than 1,253 stores operating under the names Shoppers Drug Mart in nine provinces and two territories and Pharmaprix in Quebec . Founded by Murray Koffler , the Koffler family still retains ownership of the Super-Pharm pharmacy which is in Israel , Poland , and China . Super-Pharm uses the same logo as Shoppers Drug Mart , created by the artist Sylvain Liu . It also uses some of the same private - label brands , such as Life Brand and Quo .

History ( edit ) A Shoppers Drug Mart in Markham . A Shoppers Drug Mart location on Dupont Street in Toronto , Ontario . A Shoppers Drug Mart location on Goreway Drive in , ( Westwood Square Mall ) Malton , Ontario . Shoppers Drug Mart in a historic building in downtown Toronto . At the age of twenty , Murray Koffler inherited two Koffler 's Drugs pharmacies in suburban Toronto ( one in the Don Mills Centre shopping mall ) . By 1962 , Koffler 's had grown to a chain of 17 pharmacies , which he renamed `` Shoppers Drug Mart '' in the 1970s . The first store named `` Shoppers Drug Mart '' was at Shoppers World Danforth from which it derived the name . Koffler revamped the concept of the 20th century `` drug store '' in Canada by removing the soda fountain and emphasizing the dispensary , requiring his pharmacists to wear starched white coats as a symbol of their professionalism . In the mid-1950s , he began acquiring other drug stores and organized them around a then - novel franchising concept : pharmacist `` associates '' would own and operate their own stores within the system and share in the profits . In 1968 , Shoppers Drug Mart grew to 52 stores in Ontario by merging with 33 Plaza Drugstores . In 1971 , Shoppers Drug Mart purchased 87 Cunningham Drug Stores in British Columbia and Alberta . The first Pharmaprix store opened in 1972 in Québec . In 1974 , Lord 's Supervalue Pharmacies 26 stores in Atlantic Canada joined the Shoppers Drug Mart family . In 1986 Shoppers Drug Mart bought Super X Drugstores , an Ontario - area chain of 72 stores . In 1992 , the company bought up the Western Canadian chain Pinder 's Drugs , and followed this in 1995 with a chain of 24 Bi-Rite Drug Stores based in western Canada . Also in 1995 , Shoppers Drug Mart acquired 135 Big V Drugstores . In 1996 , the first Shoppers Home Health Care store opened . When Koffler retired in 1986 , he sold the chain to Imasco . That same year , David Bloom , a former Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacist , was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company . Bloom would lead the organization until retiring in 2001 , having devoted a total of 35 years of service to the Company . During David Bloom 's tenure , Shoppers doubled its number of stores , quadrupled its sales and increased profit ten-fold . David Bloom also launched the Shoppers Optimum loyalty program in 2000 which quickly became the largest and most successful loyalty program in Canada . The Optimum program currently boasts over 10 million members in Canada . In 2000 , after Imperial Tobacco had been taken over by BAT Industries ( formerly British American Tobacco ) , Shoppers was sold to a consortium of institutional investors including Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co . ( KKR ) , Bain Capital , Inc. , DLJ Merchant Banking Partners , Charlesbank Capital Partners , Ontario Teachers ' Pension Plan , CIBC Capital Partners , and Shoppers Drug Mart 's senior management and pharmacist / owners . In 2001 , Glenn Murphy was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company . In November of that same year , Shoppers Drug Mart Corporation was publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange . In 2002 , Shoppers Drug Mart introduced its first large format stores , with more space , a sleek and modern look , and a stronger focus on cosmetic products . Typically the cosmetics section faces the entrance , with the pharmacy counter at the back and a convenience food section , called Food Essentials , near the front cash . In most suburban areas , this new format takes the form of new or relocated store , typically stand - alone `` big - box '' locations as opposed to smaller mall or strip - mall locations . In 2003 , Shoppers Drug Mart introduced its first beautyBOUTIQUE , setting a new standard for the industry with its open - sell display and unbiased approach to customer service in prestige cosmetic retailing . Today , there are 364 beautyBOUTIQUES across the country . On April 26 , 2007 , the 1000th Shoppers Drug Mart store opened in Toronto , Ontario . In recent years , the chain has been moving to decrease its reliance on pharmaceutical sales and increase sales of what it calls `` front of store '' items , such as food and cosmetics . The store claims that in 2012 , it increased its market share in food and that 51 % of purchases now come from non-pharmaceutical items . Acquisition by Loblaw Companies ( edit ) On July 15 , 2013 , Loblaw Companies announced that it would acquire Shoppers Drug Mart for $12.4 billion , pending shareholder and regulatory approval . The deal was approved by the Competition Bureau on March 21 , 2014 , and completed March 28 , 2014 . As a result of the merger , the chain began to develop synergies with Loblaw 's grocery stores . Most prominently , Shopper 's Drug Mart locations began to stock products from Loblaw 's President 's Choice store brand ; likewise , Loblaw stores could now stock Shoppers ' Life brand products . Shoppers Optimum ( edit ) Shoppers Optimum is a loyalty card program that is exclusive to Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmaprix stores . Members collect Shoppers Optimum points that may be redeemed on purchases within the store . Shoppers Optimum members receive 10 points for every dollar spent at the store . This excludes the purchase of lottery , tobacco products , transit tickets and passes , prescription items , any products containing codeine , Canada Post products , and gift cards ( except Shoppers gift cards ) . Events for bonus point collecting and / or redemption ( e.g. 20x the points , bonus redemption ) are regularly held . With Loblaw buying Shoppers Drug Mart , there are no planned changes to Shoppers Optimum in favour of PC Plus and PC Points . Advertising ( edit ) `` You 're Gonna Be Happy .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( December 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Field goal percentage in basketball is the ratio of field goals made to field goals attempted . Its abbreviation is FG % . Although three - point field goal percentage is often calculated separately , three - point field goals are included in the general field goal percentage . Instead of using scales of 0 to 100 % , the scale . 000 to 1.000 is commonly used . A higher field goal percentage denotes higher efficiency . In basketball , a FG % of . 500 ( 50 % ) or above is considered a good percentage , although this criterion does not apply equally to all positions . Guards usually have lower FG % than forwards and centers . Field goal percentage does not completely tell the skill of a player , but a low field goal percentage can indicate a poor offensive player or a player who takes many difficult shots . In the NBA , Center Shaquille O'Neal has a high career FG % ( around . 580 ) because he plays near the basket making many high percentage layups and slam dunks . Guard Allen Iverson often had a low FG % ( around . 420 ) because he took the bulk of his team 's shot attempts , even with high difficulty shots . The NBA career record for field goal percentage is held by DeAndre Jordan at 0.677 . The highest field goal percentage for a single season was set by Wilt Chamberlain with 0.727 in the 1972 -- 73 season . Field goal percentages were substantially lower in the NBA until the mid-to - late 1960s . For this reason , many early NBA stars have low field goal percentages , such as Bob Cousy at . 375 , and George Mikan , Bob Pettit , and Bill Russell , whose career field goal percentages of . 404 , . 436 , and . 440 , respectively , are much lower than later post players . Three - point field goal percentage is usually kept as additional statistics . Its abbreviation is 3FG % . A 3FG % of . 400 and above is a very good percentage .

"Field goal percentage in basketball is the ratio of field goals made to field goals attempted. Its abbreviation is FG%. Although three-point field goal percentage is often calculated separately, three-point field goals are included in the general field goal percentage. Instead of using scales of 0 to 100%, the scale .000 to 1.000 is commonly used. A higher field goal percentage denotes higher efficiency. In basketball, a FG% of .500 (50%) or above is considered a good percentage, although this criterion does not apply equally to all positions. Guards usually have lower FG% than forwards and centers. Field goal percentage does not completely tell the skill of a player, but a low field goal percentage can indicate a poor offensive player or a player who takes many difficult shots. In the NBA, Center Shaquille O'Neal has a high career FG% (around .580) because he plays near the basket making many high percentage layups and slam dunks. Guard Allen Iverson often had a low FG% (around .420) because he took the bulk of his team's shot attempts, even with high difficulty shots."

'' Hatch Act of 1887 Long title An Act to establish agricultural experiment stations in connection with the colleges established in the several States under the provisions of an act approved July second , eighteen hundred and sixty - two , and of the acts supplementary thereto .

Legislative history Introduced in the House by William H. Hatch ( D - MO ) Signed into law by President Grover Cleveland on March 2 , 1887 The Hatch Act of 1887 ( ch. 314 , 24 Stat. 440 , enacted 1887 - 03 - 02 , 7 U.S.C. § 361a et seq . ) gave federal funds , initially of $15,000 each , to state land - grant colleges in order to create a series of agricultural experiment stations , as well as pass along new information , especially in the areas of soil minerals and plant growth . The bill was named for Congressman William Hatch , who chaired the House Committee of Agriculture at the time the bill was introduced . State agricultural stations created under this act were usually connected with those land - grant state colleges and universities founded under the Morrill Act of 1862 , with few exceptions . Many stations founded under the Hatch Act later became the foundations for state cooperative extension services under the Smith - Lever Act of 1914 . Congress amended the act in 1955 to add a formula that uses rural and farm population factors to allocate the annual appropriation for agricultural experiment stations among the states . Under the 2002 farm bill ( P.L. 107 - 171 , Sec. 7212 ) , states will continue to be required to provide at least 100 % matching funds ( traditionally , most states have provided more ) . On average , Hatch Act formula funds constitute 10 % of total funding for each experiment station . ( 7 U.S.C. 361a et seq . ) .

Shaw accepts a promotion to colonel commanding the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry , one of the first all - black regiments in the Union Army . He asks his friend , Cabot Forbes , to serve as his second in command , with the rank of major . Their first volunteer is another friend , Thomas Searles , a bookish , free African - American . Other recruits include John Rawlins , Jupiter Sharts , Silas Tripp , and a mute teenage drummer boy . The men learn that , in response to the Emancipation Proclamation , the Confederacy has issued an order that all black soldiers will be returned to slavery . Black soldiers found in a Union uniform will be executed as well as their white officers . They are offered , but turn down , a chance to take an honorable discharge . They undergo rigorous training with Sergeant - Major Mulcahy , which Shaw realizes is to prepare them for the challenges they will face . Tripp goes AWOL and is caught , Shaw orders him flogged in front of the troops . He learns that Tripp left to find shoes to replace his worn ones ; his men are being denied supplies . He confronts the base 's racist quartermaster on their behalf . Shaw also supports them in a pay dispute , as the Federal government pays black soldiers $10 , not the $13 per month white soldiers earn . When the men begin tearing up their pay stubs in protest of the unequal treatment , Shaw tears up his own pay stub in support of their actions . In recognition of his leadership , Shaw promotes Rawlins to the rank of Sergeant - Major . Once the 54th completes its training , they are transferred under the command of General Charles Harker . On the way to South Carolina they are ordered by Colonel James Montgomery to sack and burn Darien , Georgia . Shaw initially refuses to obey an unlawful order , but agrees under threat of having his troops taken away . He continues to lobby his superiors to allow his men to join the fight , as their duties to date have involved manual labor for which they are being mocked . Shaw finally gets the 54th into combat after he confronts Harker and threatens to report the illegal activities he has discovered . In their first battle at James Island , South Carolina , early success is followed by a confrontation with many casualties . The Confederates are defeated and retreat . During the battle , Thomas is wounded but saves Tripp . Shaw offers Tripp the honor of bearing the regimental flag in battle . He declines not believing the war will result in a better life for slaves . General George Strong informs Shaw of a major campaign to secure a foothold at Charleston Harbor . This involves assaulting Morris Island and capturing Fort Wagner , whose only landward approach is a strip of open beach ; a charge is certain to result in heavy casualties . Shaw volunteers the 54th to lead the charge . The night before the battle the black soldiers conduct a religious service , and several make emotional speeches to inspire the troops , and to ask for God 's help . On their way to the attack , the 54th is cheered by the same Union troops who had scorned them earlier . The 54th leads the charge on the fort suffering heavy casualties . At night the bombardment continues , forestalling progress . Attempting to encourage his men , Shaw is killed . Tripp lifts the flag rallying the soldiers to continue the charge . He is shot but holds up the flag until he dies . Forbes takes charge , and the soldiers are able to break through the fort 's outer defenses . However , Charlie Morse is killed and Thomas is wounded . At the end of the battle it is implied that Forbes , Rawlins , Thomas , Jupiter , and the two Color Sergeants were killed by canister shot . The morning after the battle , the beach is littered with bodies of Union soldiers ; the Confederate flag is raised over the fort . The dead Union soldiers are buried in single mass grave , with Shaw and Tripp 's bodies next to each other . Closing text reveals Fort Wagner was never taken by the Union Army . However , the courage demonstrated by the 54th resulted in the Union accepting thousands of black men for combat , and President Abraham Lincoln credited them with helping to turn the tide of the war . Cast ( edit ) Colonel Robert Gould Shaw Actor Matthew Broderick portrayed Shaw in the film .

Sanders as General George Crockett Strong Raymond St. Jacques as Frederick Douglass Richard Riehle as Quartermaster JD Cullum as Henry Sturgis Russell Christian Baskous as Edward L. Pierce Peter Michael Goetz as Francis Shaw Jane Alexander as Sarah Blake Sturgis Shaw ( uncredited ) Production ( edit ) Memorial at Boston Common by Augustus Saint - Gaudens Kevin Jarre 's inspiration for writing the film came from viewing the monument to Colonel Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry ( the first formal unit of the U.S. Army to be made up entirely of African American men ) in Boston Common . His screenplay was based on Colonel Shaw 's letters and on two books , Lincoln Kirstein 's Lay This Laurel and Peter Burchard 's One Gallant Rush . Principal filming took place primarily in Massachusetts and Georgia . Opening passages , meant to portray the Battle of Antietam , show volunteer military reenactors filmed at a major engagement at the Gettysburg battlefield . Zwick did not want to turn Glory `` into a black story with a more commercially convenient white hero '' . Actor Morgan Freeman noted : `` We did n't want this film to fall under that shadow . This is a picture about the 54th Regiment , not Colonel Shaw , but at the same time the two are inseparable . '' Zwick hired the writer Shelby Foote as a technical adviser ; he later became widely known for his contributions to Ken Burns ' popular PBS nine - episode documentary , The Civil War ( 1990 ) . Glory was the first major motion picture to tell the story of African Americans fighting for their freedom in the Civil War . This came as a revelation to millions of Americans who had no knowledge of their participation . The 1965 movie Shenandoah , starring James Stewart , also depicted African Americans fighting for the Union , but suggested that the Federal army was integrated . The movie is cited in the episode Def Poety 's Society of the popular sitcom The Fresh Prince Of Bel - Air by the teacher and great friend of the protagonist of the series Mr. Fellows ( played by actor Jonathan Emerson ) , pointing out that the great co-star of the film , Denzel Washington , was just great with his interpretation and that the South for him makes a very special reaction that only he can understand . Soundtrack ( edit ) Glory : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Film score by James Horner Released November 1 , 1990 Length 43 : 21 Label Virgin The film 's original motion picture soundtrack was released by the Virgin Records label on January 11 , 1990 . The score for the film was orchestrated by James Horner in association with the Boys Choir of Harlem . Jim Henrikson edited the film 's music , while Shawn Murphy mixed the score . Marketing ( edit ) Monograph ( edit ) A nonfiction study of the regiment first appeared in 1965 and was republished , in January 1990 , in paperback by St. Martin 's Press under the title One Gallant Rush : Robert Gould Shaw and His Brave Black Regiment . It dramatizes the events depicted in the film , expanding on how the 54th Massachusetts developed as battle - ready soldiers . The book summarizes the historical events , and the aftermath of the first Union black regiment influencing the outcome of the war . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Vincent Canby , writing in The New York Times , said , `` ( Broderick ) gives his most mature and controlled performance to date ... ( Washington is ) an actor clearly on his way to a major screen career ... The movie unfolds in a succession of often brilliantly realized vignettes tracing the 54th 's organization , training and first experiences below the Mason - Dixon line . The characters ' idiosyncrasies emerge . '' Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun - Times called it `` a strong and valuable film no matter whose eyes it is seen through '' . He believed the production design credited to Norman Garwood and the cinematography of Freddie Francis paid `` enormous attention to period detail '' . Glory is constructed as an inspirational tale , but the inspiration is not forced or false . It is rooted in the characters and the manner in which they overcome obstacles , including , most prominently , their own personal demons . -- James Berardinelli , writing for ReelViews Similarly , Variety staff wrote that the film is `` a stirring and long overdue tribute to the black soldiers who fought for the Union cause in the Civil War '' and that it `` has the sweep and magnificence of a Tolstoy battle tale or a John Ford saga of American history '' . On Broderick 's performance , they felt his `` boyishness becomes a key element of the drama , as the film shows him confiding his inadequacies '' . Desson Howe of The Washington Post , pointed out some flaws including mentioning Broderick as `` an amiable non-presence , creating unintentionally the notion that the 54th earned their stripes despite wimpy leadership '' . The Chicago Reader 's Jonathan Rosenbaum called Glory an `` always interesting period film , well photographed by English cinematographer Freddie Francis '' . The film , however , was not without its detractors . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone was not impressed at all with the overall acting , calling Broderick `` catastrophically miscast as Shaw '' . Alternatively , Richard Schickel of Time described the picture by saying , `` the movie 's often awesome imagery and a bravely soaring choral score by James Horner that transfigure the reality , granting it the status of necessary myth '' . Writing for Entertainment Weekly , Mark Bernardin said the film 's strength `` belongs to the powerhouse supporting cast -- Morgan Freeman , Andre Braugher ( in his first movie role ) , and Denzel Washington '' . He added : `` The magic of Glory comes from the film itself . It speaks of heroism writ large , from people whom history had made small . '' James Berardinelli writing for ReelViews , called the film `` without question , one of the best movies ever made about the American Civil War , '' and noted that it `` has important things to say , yet it does so without becoming pedantic '' . Berardinelli also commented : `` For a motion picture made on a relatively modest budget , Glory looks great . From a technical standpoint , the movie is a masterpiece , and the verisimilitude of the battle scenes is not in question . '' Rating the film with four stars , critic Leonard Maltin wrote that it was `` grand , moving , breathtakingly filmed ( by veteran cinematographer Freddie Francis ) and faultlessly performed '' . He called it `` one of the finest historical dramas ever made '' . Watching `` Glory , '' I had one reccuring ( sic ) problem . I did n't understand why it had to be told so often from the point of view of the 54th 's white commanding officer . Why did we see the black troops through his eyes -- instead of seeing him through theirs ? To put it another way , why does the top billing in this movie go to a white actor ? -- Roger Ebert , writing in the Chicago Sun - Times Chris Hicks of the Deseret News said the film is `` big in scope , powerful in its storytelling drama , yet intimate in its character and relationship development . '' Referring to Broderick , he found he `` does very well as the young officer , and among his troops are two of our finest actors -- Morgan Freeman ... and Denzel Washington '' . The staff of TV Guide said of the film : `` Richly plotted , alternately inspiring and horrifying , Glory is an enlightening and entertaining tribute to heroes too long forgotten . '' On the acting merits , they wrote , `` Glory also contains especially compelling performances by Broderick , Washington , and Freeman . '' Film critic Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film a thumbs up review , saying , `` like Driving Miss Daisy , this is another admirable film that turns out to be surprisingly entertaining '' . He thought the film took on `` some true social significance '' and felt the actors portrayed the characters as `` more than simply black men '' . He explained : `` They 're so different , that they become not merely standard Hollywood blacks , but true individuals . '' American Civil War historian James M. McPherson also lauded the film , saying that it `` accomplished a remarkable feat in sensitizing a lot of today 's black students to the role that their ancestors played in the Civil War in winning their own freedom '' . On Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds an approval rating of 93 % based on 41 reviews , and an average rating of 7.9 / 10 . The site 's consensus reads : `` Bolstered by exceptional cinematography , powerful storytelling , and an Oscar - winning performance by Denzel Washington , Glory remains one of the finest Civil War movies ever made .

6175694874504573953 | Fort Garry | Fort Garry - wikipedia Fort Garry This article is about the former settlement located on the site of present - day downtown Winnipeg . For current Winnipeg district , see Fort Garry , Winnipeg . For other uses , see Fort Garry ( disambiguation ) . Fort Garry At the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers in what is now downtown Winnipeg , Manitoba , Canada Fort Garry in 1884 Type Hudson 's Bay Company trading post Site information Controlled by Hudson 's Bay Company Occupied by the Métis in 1869 - 70 Website UpperFortGarry.com Site history Built 1822 Battles / wars Red River Rebellion National Historic Site of Canada Official name Forts Rouge , Garry , and Gibraltar National Historic Site of Canada Designated 1924 Fort Garry , also known as Upper Fort Garry , was a Hudson 's Bay Company trading post at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers in what is now downtown Winnipeg . It was established in 1822 on or near the site of the North West Company 's Fort Gibraltar . Fort Garry was named after Nicholas Garry , deputy governor of the Hudson 's Bay Company . It served as the centre of fur trade within the Red River Colony . In 1826 , a severe flood destroyed the fort . It was rebuilt in 1835 by the HBC and named Upper Fort Garry to differentiate it from `` the Lower Fort , '' or Lower Fort Garry , 32 km downriver , which was established in 1831 . Throughout the mid-to - late 19th century , Upper Fort Garry played a minor role in the actual trading of furs , but was central to the administration of the HBC and the surrounding settlement . The Council of Assiniboia , the administrative and judicial body of the Red River Colony mainly run by Hudson 's Bay Company officials , met at Upper Fort Garry . In 1869 , the Hudson 's Bay Company agreed to surrender its monopoly in the North - West , including Upper Fort Garry . In late 1869 and early 1870 , the fort was seized by Louis Riel and his Métis followers during the Red River Rebellion . After the Rebellion , the area around the fort continued to grow . In 1873 , the city of Winnipeg was established and the name Fort Garry was no longer used . In 1881 - 1884 the majority of the fort was demolished to straighten Main Street ( it was at Main Street and Assiniboine Avenue ) . Although only the main gate of the fort remains today , the name `` Fort Garry '' lives on through various institutions and businesses . An area or division of Winnipeg running along the Red River south of the original fort is called Fort Garry . The hotel beside the fort is called the Fort Garry Hotel , which was originally constructed for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway company . The two streets on either side of the hotel are Fort Street and Garry Street . Many companies have adopted the name , such as Fort Garry Industries and the Fort Garry Brewing Company . The Fort Garry Horse has been a component of the Winnipeg military garrison throughout the 20th and into the 21st Centuries . Contents 1 National Historic Site 2 Legacy 3 Provincial Heritage Park 4 Gallery 5 See also 6 External links 7 Further reading 8 References National Historic site ( edit ) Fort Garry , along with the sites of nearby Forts Rouge and Gibraltar , were collectively designated a National Historic Site in 1924 , under the name `` Forts Rouge , Garry , and Gibraltar National Historic Site '' . Together , the three sites are illustrative of the evolution of the fur trade in Western Canada , from exploration and expansion westward ( Fort Rouge , established in 1738 by the French ) , to the dominance of the North West Company ( Fort Gibraltar , established in 1807 ) and finally the ascendancy of the Hudson 's Bay Company ( Fort Garry ) . The gate at Fort Garry constitutes the only above - ground remains of this succession of forts . Legacy ( edit ) On 15 June 1938 Canada Post issued ' Fort Garry Gate , Winnipeg ' , a 20 ¢ stamp . G Provincial heritage park ( edit ) Upper Fort Garry Provincial Heritage Park ( 2015 ) Work has begun on a project to establish a heritage park in the area surrounding what remains of the Upper Fort Garry . In the spring of 2010 , a bill passed the House in the Manitoba Legislature , entitled The Upper Fort Garry Heritage Provincial Park Act . In 2007 , a development company , Crystal Developers , sought to build an apartment complex next to the fort 's original `` footprint '' . However , the Friends of Upper Fort Garry , a group dedicated to developing an historical interpretive park at the site , was convened to oppose them . The plan called for an interpretive centre just outside the old fort 's walls , and a large surface parking lot that would have been placed closer to the walls than the apartment itself . After a City of Winnipeg - imposed deadline to raise funds to build a park on the site was nearing , Crystal Developers decided to grant the Friends an additional two years to finish raising the needed funds . Crystal ultimately bowed out of its proposed development plans . Two years later the City of Winnipeg approved the construction by Crystal Developers of a 25 - storey apartment tower just west of the original location , on Assiniboine Ave . Enough funds were raised by the Friends to purchase the buildings already on the site of their proposed heritage park , including a Petro - Canada gas station . The only building that was allowed to stay untouched was the current home of the Manitoba Club , which started as an organization in 1874 , only one year after the incorporation of Winnipeg . The existing Manitoba Club building was completed in 1905 . The historic Fort Garry Hotel across the street was built shortly thereafter , in 1913 . The plans for the future heritage park at the site of Upper Fort Garry were officially unveiled in May 2010 . From the Hansard Records of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba , dated Monday , June 14 , 2010 , it is clear that the boundaries of the proposed Upper Fort Garry Provincial Heritage Park , described in Bill 27 -- The Upper Fort Garry Heritage Provincial Park Act then under consideration , would not include the Manitoba Club building . In the meeting referenced above , Mr. Jerry Gray ( Friends of Upper Fort Garry ) , referring to the future park boundaries , states that the property is `` bordered by Main Street on the east side , Assiniboine on the south side and Fort Street on the west side and then goes up to the back where the gate property is . '' Evidently , the Manitoba Club property on Broadway is excluded from the proposed heritage park , aside from being located on the same city block . According to the records of the Thirty - Ninth Legislature , Bill 27 received Royal Assent on June 17 , 2010 , by Proclamation of the Lieutenant - Governor Philip S. Lee . The park opened to the public on August 6 , 2015 , with development still to come .

"In 1869, the Hudson's Bay Company agreed to surrender its monopoly in the North-West, including Upper Fort Garry. In late 1869 and early 1870, the fort was seized by Louis Riel and his Métis followers during the Red River Rebellion. After the Rebellion, the area around the fort continued to grow. In 1873, the city of Winnipeg was established and the name Fort Garry was no longer used. In 1881-1884 the majority of the fort was demolished to straighten Main Street (it was at Main Street and Assiniboine Avenue[2]).\n"

, the NHL expanded the season to 84 games , and each team played two games at a neutral site . After the 1995 lockout , the neutral site games were eliminated , and the season was reduced to 82 games . The NHL realigned into Eastern and Western conferences prior to the 1993 -- 94 season . Washington was placed in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference . The season was shortened to 48 games because of the 1994 -- 95 NHL lockout . Beginning with the 1999 -- 00 season , teams received one point for losing a regular season game in overtime . The season was canceled because of the 2004 -- 05 NHL lockout . Before the 2005 -- 06 season , the NHL instituted a penalty shootout for regular season games that remained tied after a five - minute overtime period , which prevented ties . The NHL added 4 expansion teams prior to the 1998 -- 99 season and split the Eastern Conference into three divisions : Northeast , Atlantic , and Southeast . Washington was moved into the new Southeast division . The season was shortened to 48 games because of the 2012 -- 13 NHL lockout . The NHL realigned prior to the 2013 -- 14 season . Washington was placed in the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Page 2 Staff . `` Worst Pro Teams of All - time '' . ESPN . Retrieved June 21 , 2010 .

5061560534208301189 | List of largest church buildings | List of largest church buildings - wikipedia List of largest church buildings Jump to : navigation , search It has been suggested that List of tallest church buildings be merged into this article . ( Discuss ) Proposed since July 2017 . St. Peter 's Basilica , the largest church in the world . This article lists the largest church buildings in the world as measured by various criteria . Contents ( hide ) 1 Scope 2 Measurements 3 By height 4 By length 5 See also 6 References Scope ( edit ) The term church is open to interpretation and debate . In this article , it means any building that was built for the primary purpose of Christian worship . The list does include at least one building -- the Hagia Sophia -- that was originally a church but later became a mosque and is now a museum . Measurements ( edit ) Whilst claims are made about the relative size of churches many of these claims are not easily substantiated . `` Largest '' is at best a vague term , which is often not qualified by claimants . Accepted measures of largeness could include area , volume , length , width , height , and / or capacity , although the last is far more subjective . It is important to note therefore that churches may claim to be `` the largest '' based on only one of these measurements ; and thus that there may be several churches that have equal claim to be `` the largest church '' . Since there is no official body governing these claims , there is no generally accepted criterion for being `` the largest church '' . The list below attempts to rank churches by different ( more - or-less ) objective criteria , and thus may generate different orders depending on the measure used . Churches for which claims are made but dimensions can not be found are not included on the below lists . For length , width and height , there is usually a definitive statistic for each church , which can easily be compared . However , for area and volume , the situation is often more complex . It is often possible to find multiple values quoted for the area / volume of a church in references . Many values appear to be estimates or approximations ( especially for volume ) , or may have been calculated by multiplying lengths , widths and heights . In the latter case , the exact dimensions used ( internal vs. external , etc . ) may give very different figures . Therefore , although area and volume are the most common ' largeness ' measures , they are also apt to be the least reliable . This should be borne in mind when comparing church sizes .

-6940349336674168590 | Spinal nerve | Spinal nerve - wikipedia Spinal nerve Jump to : navigation , search Spinal nerve The formation of the spinal nerve from the posterior and anterior roots Details Identifiers Latin nervus spinalis MeSH D013127 TA A14. 2.00. 027 A14. 2.02. 001 FMA 5858 Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy ( edit on Wikidata ) A spinal nerve is a mixed nerve , which carries motor , sensory , and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body . In the human body there are 31 pairs of spinal nerves , one on each side of the vertebral column . These are grouped into the corresponding cervical , thoracic , lumbar , sacral and coccygeal regions of the spine . There are eight pairs of cervical nerves , twelve pairs of thoracic nerves , five pairs of lumbar nerves , five pairs of sacral nerves , and one pair of coccygeal nerves . The spinal nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 2 Regional nerves 2.1 Cervical nerves 2.2 Thoracic nerves 2.3 Lumbar nerves 2.4 Sacral nerves 2.5 Coccygeal nerve 3 Function 4 Clinical significance 5 Additional Images 6 References Structure ( edit ) Spinal nerve Typical spinal nerve location Each spinal nerve is formed from the combination of nerve fibers from its dorsal and ventral roots . The dorsal root is the afferent sensory root and carries sensory information to the brain . The ventral root is the efferent motor root and carries motor information from the brain . The spinal nerve emerges from the spinal column through an opening ( intervertebral foramen ) between adjacent vertebrae . This is true for all spinal nerves except for the first spinal nerve pair ( C1 ) , which emerges between the occipital bone and the atlas ( the first vertebra ) . Thus the cervical nerves are numbered by the vertebra below , except spinal nerve C8 , which exists below vertebra C7 and above vertebra T1 . The thoracic , lumbar , and sacral nerves are then numbered by the vertebra above . In the case of a lumbarized S1 vertebra ( aka L6 ) or a sacralized L5 vertebra , the nerves are typically still counted to L5 and the next nerve is S1 . Scheme showing structure of a typical spinal nerve 1 . Somatic efferent . 2 . Somatic afferent . 3 , 4 , 5 . Sympathetic efferent . 6 , 7 . Sympathetic afferent Outside the vertebral column , the nerve divides into branches . The dorsal ramus contains nerves that serve the posterior portions of the trunk carrying visceral motor , somatic motor , and somatic sensory information to and from the skin and muscles of the back ( epaxial muscles ) . The ventral ramus contains nerves that serve the remaining anterior parts of the trunk and the upper and lower limbs ( hypaxial muscles ) carrying visceral motor , somatic motor , and sensory information to and from the ventrolateral body surface , structures in the body wall , and the limbs . The meningeal branches ( recurrent meningeal or sinuvertebral nerves ) branch from the spinal nerve and re-enter the intervertebral foramen to serve the ligaments , dura , blood vessels , intervertebral discs , facet joints , and periosteum of the vertebrae . The rami communicantes contain autonomic nerves that serve visceral functions carrying visceral motor and sensory information to and from the visceral organs . Some anterior rami merge with adjacent anterior rami to form a nerve plexus , a network of interconnecting nerves . Nerves emerging from a plexus contain fibers from various spinal nerves , which are now carried together to some target location . Major plexuses include the cervical , brachial , lumbar , and sacral plexuses . Regional nerves ( edit ) Further information : Spinal cord § Spinal cord segments Cervical nerves ( edit ) Cervical nerves The cervical nerves are the spinal nerves from the cervical vertebrae in the cervical segment of the spinal cord . Although there are seven cervical vertebrae ( C1 - C7 ) , there are eight cervical nerves C1 -- C8 . All cervical nerves except C8 emerge above their corresponding vertebrae , while the C8 nerve emerges below the C7 vertebra . Elsewhere in the spine , the nerve emerges below the vertebra with the same name . The posterior distribution includes the suboccipital nerve ( C1 ) , the greater occipital nerve ( C2 ) and the third occipital nerve ( C3 ) . The anterior distribution includes the cervical plexus ( C1 - C4 ) and brachial plexus ( C5 - T1 ) . The cervical nerves innervate the sternohyoid , sternothyroid and omohyoid muscles . A loop of nerves called ansa cervicalis is part of the cervical plexus . Thoracic nerves ( edit ) The thoracic nerves are the twelve spinal nerves emerging from the thoracic vertebrae . Each thoracic nerve T1 - T12 originates from below each corresponding thoracic vertebra . Branches also exit the spine and go directly to the paravertebral ganglia of the autonomic nervous system where they are involved in the functions of organs and glands in the head , neck , thorax and abdomen . Anterior divisions : The intercostal nerves come from thoracic nerves T1 - T11 , and run between the ribs . At T2 and T3 , further branches form the intercostobrachial nerve . The subcostal nerve comes from nerve T12 , and runs below the twelfth rib . Posterior divisions : The medial branches ( ramus medialis ) of the posterior branches of the upper six thoracic nerves run between the semispinalis dorsi and multifidus , which they supply ; they then pierce the rhomboid and trapezius muscles , and reach the skin by the sides of the spinous processes . This sensitive branch is called the medial cutaneous ramus . The medial branches of the lower six are distributed chiefly to the multifidus and longissimus dorsi , occasionally they give off filaments to the skin near the middle line . This sensitive branch is called the posterior cutaneous ramus . Lumbar nerves ( edit ) Further information : List of lumbar nerves Lumbar plexus and branches The lumbar nerves are the five spinal nerves emerging from the lumbar vertebrae . They are divided into posterior and anterior divisions . Posterior divisions : The medial branches of the posterior divisions of the lumbar nerves run close to the articular processes of the vertebrae and end in the multifidus muscle . The laterals supply the erector spinae muscles . The upper three give off cutaneous nerves which pierce the aponeurosis of the latissimus dorsi at the lateral border of the erector spinae muscles , and descend across the posterior part of the iliac crest to the skin of the buttock , some of their twigs running as far as the level of the greater trochanter . Anterior divisions : The anterior divisions of the lumbar nerves ( rami anteriores ) increase in size from above downward . They are joined , near their origins , by gray rami communicantes from the lumbar ganglia of the sympathetic trunk . These rami consist of long , slender branches which accompany the lumbar arteries around the sides of the vertebral bodies , beneath the psoas major . Their arrangement is somewhat irregular : one ganglion may give rami to two lumbar nerves , or one lumbar nerve may receive rami from two ganglia . The first and second , and sometimes the third and fourth lumbar nerves are each connected with the lumbar part of the sympathetic trunk by a white ramus communicans . The nerves pass obliquely outward behind the psoas major , or between its fasciculi , distributing filaments to it and the quadratus lumborum . The first three and the greater part of the fourth are connected together in this situation by anastomotic loops , and form the lumbar plexus . The smaller part of the fourth joins with the fifth to form the lumbosacral trunk , which assists in the formation of the sacral plexus . The fourth nerve is named the furcal nerve , from the fact that it is subdivided between the two plexuses . Sacral nerves ( edit ) Plan of sacral and pudendal plexuses The sacral nerves are the five pairs of spinal nerves which exit the sacrum at the lower end of the vertebral column . The roots of these nerves begin inside the vertebral column at the level of the L1 vertebra , where the cauda equina begins , and then descend into the sacrum . There are five paired sacral nerves , half of them arising through the sacrum on the left side and the other half on the right side . Each nerve emerges in two divisions : one division through the anterior sacral foramina and the other division through the posterior sacral foramina . The nerves divide into branches and the branches from different nerves join with one another , some of them also joining with lumbar or coccygeal nerve branches . These anastomoses of nerves form the sacral plexus and the lumbosacral plexus . The branches of these plexus give rise to nerves that supply much of the hip , thigh , leg and foot . The sacral nerves have both afferent and efferent fibers , thus they are responsible for part of the sensory perception and the movements of the lower extremities of the human body . From the S2 , S3 and S4 arise the pudendal nerve and parasympathetic fibers whose electrical potential supply the descending colon and rectum , urinary bladder and genital organs . These pathways have both afferent and efferent fibers and , this way , they are responsible for conduction of sensory information from these pelvic organs to the central nervous system ( CNS ) and motor impulses from the CNS to the pelvis that control the movements of these pelvic organs . Coccygeal nerve ( edit ) The coccygeal nerve is the 31st pair of spinal nerves . It arises from the conus medullaris , and its anterior root helps form the coccygeal plexus . It does not divide into a medial and lateral branch . It is distributed to the skin over the back of the coccyx . Function ( edit ) Areas of distribution of the cutaneous branches of the posterior divisions of the spinal nerves . The areas of the medial branches are in black , those of the lateral in red Actions of the spinal nerves edit Level Motor function C1 -- C6 Neck flexors C1 -- T1 Neck extensors C3 , C4 , C5 Supply diaphragm ( mostly C4 ) C5 , C6 Move shoulder , raise arm ( deltoid ) ; flex elbow ( biceps ) C6 externally rotate ( supinate ) the arm C6 , C7 Extend elbow and wrist ( triceps and wrist extensors ) ; pronate wrist C7 , C8 Flex wrist ; supply small muscles of the hand T1 -- T6 Intercostals and trunk above the waist T7 -- L1 Abdominal muscles L1 -- L4 Flex thigh L2 , L3 , L4 Adduct thigh ; Extend leg at the knee ( quadriceps femoris ) L4 , L5 , S1 abduct thigh ; Flex leg at the knee ( hamstrings ) ; Dorsiflex foot ( tibialis anterior ) ; Extend toes L5 , S1 , S2 Extend leg at the hip ( gluteus maximus ) ; flex foot and flex toes Clinical significance ( edit ) The muscles that one particular spinal root supplies are that nerve 's myotome , and the dermatomes are the areas of sensory innervation on the skin for each spinal nerve . Lesions of one or more nerve roots result in typical patterns of neurologic defects ( muscle weakness , abnormal sensation , changes in reflexes ) that allow localization of the responsible lesion . There are several procedures used in sacral nerve stimulation for the treatment of various related disorders . Sciatica is generally caused by the compression of lumbar nerves L4 , or L5 or sacral nerves S1 , S2 , or S3 , or by compression of the sciatic nerve itself .

One day , Tyrell sends his singer girlfriend Tina Carlyle into Stanley 's bank to record its layout , in preparation to rob the bank . Stanley is attracted to Tina , and she seems to reciprocate . Unable to enter the Coco Bongo to watch Tina perform , Stanley finds a wooden mask near the city 's harbor . Placing it on his face transforms him into a green - faced , zoot - suited , bizarre , wisecracking trickster known as the Mask , who is able to cartoonishly alter himself and his surroundings at will . Stanley exacts revenge on his tormentors and scares off a street gang that attempts to rob him by turning a balloon into a Tommy gun . The next morning , Stanley encounters detective Lieutenant Kellaway and newspaper reporter Peggy Brandt investigating the Mask 's activity of the previous night . To attend Tina 's performance , he again becomes the Mask to raid the bank , inadvertently foiling Tyrell 's plan in the process . At the Coco Bongo , Stanley dances exuberantly with Tina , whom he ends up kissing . Following a confrontation with Tyrell for disrupting the bank robbery , Stanley flees leaving behind a scrap of cloth from his suit that transforms back into his pajamas , while Tyrell and his men are arrested by Kellaway and his partner Doyle . Based on the piece of cloth , Kellaway suspects Stanley to be the bank robber . Stanley later consults a psychiatrist who has recently published a book on masks and is discovered that the object may be a depiction of Loki , the Norse god of darkness and mischief . The same night , Stanley meets Tina at a local park as the Mask , but the meeting is interrupted by Kellaway , who attempts to capture him . Stanley tricks a large group of police officers into joining him in a mass - performance of the Desi Arnaz song `` Cuban Pete '' and flees with Peggy , but she betrays him to Tyrell for a $50,000 bounty . Using the mask , Tyrell becomes a malevolent green - faced monster . Tyrell 's henchmen ends up in the possession of the stolen money after Stanley is forced to reveal its location ; and they turn Stanley in to the police . When Tina visits Stanley in the station , he urges her to flee the city . Tina thanks Stanley for his generosity and tells him that she knew he was the Mask all along . She attempts to leave the city , but is captured by Tyrell 's men and forcibly taken to a charity ball at the Coco Bongo hosted by Niko and attended by the city 's elite , including Mayor Tilton . Upon arrival , the masked Tyrell kills Niko and prepares to destroy both the club and Tina with dynamite . Milo helps Stanley escape from the station , and Stanley brings Kellaway as a cover and hostage in a desperate attempt to stop Tyrell . After locking Kellaway in his car , Stanley enters the club and manages to enlist the help of Charlie , but is soon after discovered and captured . Tina tricks Tyrell into taking off the mask , which is recovered and donned by Milo , who fights Tyrell 's men , while Stanley fights Tyrell , himself . After recovering the mask , Stanley uses its special powers to rescue Tina by swallowing Tyrell 's bomb and flushing Tyrell down the drain of the club 's ornamental fountain . The police arrive and arrest Tyrell 's remaining henchmen and attempt to capture Stanley once again . However , Tilton tells Kellaway to release Stanley because Tyrell was the Mask the whole time and Tilton calls Stanley a hero for his actions . As the sun rises the following day , all charges against Stanley are dropped . To avoid getting involved with the police again , Stanley decides to return the mask back to the harbor . Tina throws the mask into the water , and she and Stanley kiss . Charlie then jumps in the water to retrieve the mask for himself , only to find Milo swimming away with it . Cast ( edit ) Jim Carrey as Stanley Ipkiss / The Mask . Carrey commented that he characterized Stanley after his own father : `` a nice guy , just trying to get by '' . Carrey was paid $450,000 for starring in the film , which was a huge bargain for New Line Cinema at the time . Cameron Diaz as Tina Carlyle , Dorian Tyrell 's girlfriend and lounge singer at the Coco Bongo who later becomes Stanley 's love interest . This role marked the feature film debut for Cameron Diaz . Before Diaz was cast , the studio considered casting Anna Nicole Smith , Vanessa Williams and Kristy Swanson . After Diaz auditioned twelve times for the role , she was finally cast only a week before filming began . Peter Greene as Dorian Tyrell , a mobster who wants to take over the city 's underworld . Greene was cast after the studio 's top choice , Gary Kemp , turned it down . Richard Jeni as Charlie Schumaker , Stanley 's best friend and colleague . Peter Riegert as Lt. Mitch Kellaway , a cynical police detective who hunts the Mask , as well as Tyrell and Niko . Before Riegert was cast , the studio considered Richard Gere for the role . Jim Doughan as Det . Doyle , Lt. Kellaway 's dim - witted partner . Amy Yasbeck as Peggy Brandt , a reporter with a crush on Stanley . In a deleted scene , Peggy is killed by Tyrell shortly after he first puts the mask on . Orestes Matacena as Niko , a Greek mafia boss and Tyrell 's nemesis . Eamonn Roche as Mr. Dickey , the son of the Bank President who is Stanley and Charlie 's superior . Nancy Fish as Mrs. Peenman , Stanley 's grumpy land - lady . Tim Bagley as Irv Ripley , a mechanic who rips off Stanley . Johnny Williams as Burt Ripley , a mechanic and Irv 's brother . Reginald E. Cathey as Freeze ( called The Doctor in the film ) , Dorian Tyrell 's trusted lieutenant and friend whose death , inadvertently caused by The Mask , drives Tyrell into a personal vendetta against Ipkiss . Denis Forest as Sweet Eddy , one of Tyrell 's henchmen . Before Forest was cast , the studio considered Chris Elliott for the role . Nils Allen Stewart as Orlando , another of Tyrell 's henchmen . Ivory Ocean as Mayor Mitchell Tilton , the mayor of Edge City . Joely Fisher as Maggie , another one of Stanley 's colleagues . Ben Stein as Dr. Arthur Neuman , Stanley 's psychologist . He is the only character to appear in both The Mask and its sequel Son of the Mask . Royal Crown Revue as themselves / The Coco Bongo Band Production ( edit ) In 1989 , Mike Richardson and Todd Moyer ( who was Executive Vice President of Dark Horse Comics ) first approached New Line Cinema about adapting the comic The Mask into a film , after having seen other offers . The main character went through several transformations , and the project was stalled a couple of times . One unused `` Mask '' idea , according to Mike Richardson , was to transform the story into one about a mask - maker who took faces off of corpses to put them on teens and turn them into zombies . Initially intended to become a new horror franchise , New Line Cinema offered the job of directing the film to Chuck Russell . However , Russell found the violence of the comic to be off - putting , and wanted the film be less grim and more fun than the source material . Mike Werb says Chuck Russell tapped him after reading his script for Curious George for Imagine . The two decided to turn The Mask into a wild romantic comedy . Mike Werb wrote his first draft of The Mask in less than six weeks , and less than two months later it was green - lit . According to Mike Verheiden , they had a first draft screenplay for a film version done back in 1990 . Verheiden then wrote the second draft in early 1991 , adding more humor , and that ended up being the only work he did on The Mask . After that the film went into development hell . There were a lot of VFX scenes that had to be cut for budget . Visual Effects ( edit ) The Mask 's visual effects were handled by Industrial Light & Magic ( ILM ) and Digital Domain . The sequences in the film which involved computer animation were supervised by ILM animation director Wes Takahashi . Release ( edit ) Box office ( edit ) The film was a box - office success , grossing $119 million domestically and over $350 million worldwide , becoming the second - highest grossing superhero movie at that time , behind Batman . The film also received positive reviews from critics , including Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times , who gave the film 3 out of 4 stars , noting Jim Carrey for his `` joyful performance . '' The Mask is one of three films featuring Carrey ( the others being Ace Ventura : Pet Detective and Dumb and Dumber ) released in 1994 that helped launch the actor to superstardom , though The Mask was the most successful of these three films both critically and commercially . The film is also notable for immediately establishing Diaz -- previously a complete unknown -- as a major star in Hollywood as well . The film is also considered a cult classic . Critical reception ( edit ) It currently holds a 77 % `` Certified Fresh '' rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , with the consensus stating `` It misses perhaps as often as it hits , but Carrey 's manic bombast , Diaz 's blowsy appeal , and the film 's overall cartoony bombast keep The Mask afloat . '' On the television program Siskel & Ebert & the Movies , the critics gave the film `` two thumbs up '' . Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from film critics , gave The Mask a rating score of 56 , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' based on 12 reviews . The film was nominated for Best Visual Effects at the 67th Academy Awards , but lost to Forrest Gump . In addition , Carrey was nominated for a Golden Globe . Conversely , he was also nominated for a Razzie Award for `` Worst New Star '' . The film is also recognized by American Film Institute in these lists : 2005 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Movie Quotes : Stanley Ipkiss : `` Somebody stop me !

The VHS version included an interview between Jim Carrey and Space Ghost , as a promotion for their corporate sibling Cartoon Network 's Space Ghost Coast to Coast after the film . It also had a trailer for Jim Carrey 's then - upcoming film , Dumb and Dumber , and ads for the soundtrack to the film , and for what was then branded as Betty Crocker Pop Secret . It was later released on Blu - ray Disc on December 9 , 2008 . It has an aspect ratio of 1.85 : 1 and is encoded in 1080p / VC - 1 . Its audio is a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD encoded at a 16 bit / 48 kHz sample rate . Special features include additional scenes , production details and two commentary tracks , one by director Chuck Russell and the other by the rest of the production crew . Adaptations ( edit ) An animated television series was made , The Mask : Animated Series , and a video game for the Super Nintendo , The Mask , were both based on the film . Sequel ( edit ) After the success of the original , a sequel was planned , with magazine Nintendo Power offering readers a chance , via sweepstakes , to win a cameo role in the film . However Jim Carrey eventually bailed on the project forcing , amongst other things , for Nintendo Power to give the winner of the contest the equivalent cash value instead . A critically panned sequel , Son of the Mask , not featuring Carrey , was eventually released in 2005 . Possible third film ( edit ) On the possibility of a third film , Mike Richardson has said , `` We 've been talking about reviving The Mask , both in film and in comics . We 've had a couple of false starts . '' References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` The Mask '' . British Board of Film Classification . Retrieved February 22 , 2015 . ^ Jump up to : `` The Mask ( 1994 ) '' .

-299592629213405885 | Wireless access point | Wireless access point - wikipedia Wireless access point Jump to : navigation , search Not to be confused with Wireless Application Protocol . See also : Router ( computing ) This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( June 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In computer networking , a wireless access point ( WAP ) , or more generally just access point ( AP ) , is a networking hardware device that allows a Wi - Fi device to connect to a wired network . The AP usually connects to a router ( via a wired network ) as a standalone device , but it can also be an integral component of the router itself . An AP is differentiated from a hotspot , which is the physical location where Wi - Fi access to a WLAN is available . Contents ( hide ) 1 Introduction 2 Wireless access point vs. ad hoc network 3 Limitations 4 Security 5 See also 6 References Introduction ( edit ) Linksys `` WAP54G '' 802.11 g wireless access point Embedded RouterBoard 112 with U. FL - RSMA pigtail and R52 mini PCI Wi - Fi card widely used by wireless Internet service providers ( WISPs ) across the world Prior to wireless networks , setting up a computer network in a business , home or school often required running many cables through walls and ceilings in order to deliver network access to all of the network - enabled devices in the building . With the creation of the wireless access point , network users were able to add devices that access the network with few or no cables . An AP normally connects directly to a wired Ethernet connection and the AP then provides wireless connections using radio frequency links for other devices to utilize that wired connection . Most APs support the connection of multiple wireless devices to one wired connection . Modern APs are built to support a standard for sending and receiving data using these radio frequencies . Those standards , and the frequencies they use are defined by the IEEE . Wireless access point vs. ad hoc network ( edit ) Some people confuse wireless access points with wireless ad hoc networks . An ad hoc network uses a connection between two or more devices without using a wireless access point : the devices communicate directly when in range . An ad hoc network is used in situations such as a quick data exchange or a multiplayer LAN game because setup is easy and does not require an access point . Due to its peer - to - peer layout , ad hoc Wi - Fi connections are similar to connections available using Bluetooth . But ad hoc connections are generally not recommended for a permanent installation . The reason is that Internet access via ad hoc networks , using features like Windows ' Internet Connection Sharing , may work well with a small number of devices that are close to each other , but ad hoc networks do n't scale well . Internet traffic will converge to the nodes with direct internet connection , potentially congesting these nodes . For internet - enabled nodes , access points have a clear advantage , with the possibility of having a wired LAN . Limitations ( edit ) It is generally recommended that one IEEE 802.11 AP should have , at a maximum , 15 - 25 clients per radio ( most APs having between 1 and 4 radios ) . However , the actual maximum number of clients that can be supported can vary significantly depending on several factors , such as type of APs in use , density of client environment , desired client throughput , etc . The range of communication can also vary significantly , depending on such variables as indoor or outdoor placement , height above ground , nearby obstructions , other electronic devices that might actively interfere with the signal by broadcasting on the same frequency , type of antenna , the current weather , operating radio frequency , and the power output of devices . Network designers can extend the range of APs through the use of repeaters , which amplify a radio signal , and reflectors , which only bounce it . In experimental conditions , wireless networking has operated over distances of several hundred kilometers . Most jurisdictions have only a limited number of frequencies legally available for use by wireless networks . Usually , adjacent APs will use different frequencies ( Channels ) to communicate with their clients in order to avoid interference between the two nearby systems . Wireless devices can `` listen '' for data traffic on other frequencies , and can rapidly switch from one frequency to another to achieve better reception . However , the limited number of frequencies becomes problematic in crowded downtown areas with tall buildings using multiple APs . In such an environment , signal overlap becomes an issue causing interference , which results in signal droppage and data errors . Wireless networking lags wired networking in terms of increasing bandwidth and throughput . While ( as of 2013 ) high - density 256 - QAM ( TurboQAM ) modulation , 3 - antenna wireless devices for the consumer market can reach sustained real - world speeds of some 240 Mbit / s at 13 m behind two standing walls ( NLOS ) depending on their nature or 360 Mbit / s at 10 m line of sight or 380 Mbit / s at 2 m line of sight ( IEEE 802.11 ac ) or 20 to 25 Mbit / s at 2 m line of sight ( IEEE 802.11 g ) , wired hardware of similar cost reaches closer to 1000 Mbit / s up to specified distance of 100 m with twisted - pair cabling in optimal conditions ( Category 5 ( known as Cat - 5 ) or better cabling with Gigabit Ethernet ) . One impediment to increasing the speed of wireless communications comes from Wi - Fi 's use of a shared communications medium : Thus , two stations in infrastructure mode that are communicating with each other even over the same AP must have each and every frame transmitted twice : from the sender to the AP , then from the AP to the receiver . This approximately halves the effective bandwidth , so an AP is only able to use somewhat less than half the actual over-the - air rate for data throughput . Thus a typical 54 Mbit / s wireless connection actually carries TCP / IP data at 20 to 25 Mbit / s . Users of legacy wired networks expect faster speeds , and people using wireless connections keenly want to see the wireless networks catch up . By 2012 , 802.11 n based access points and client devices have already taken a fair share of the marketplace and with the finalization of the 802.11 n standard in 2009 inherent problems integrating products from different vendors are less prevalent . Security ( edit ) Main article : Wireless LAN Security Wireless access has special security considerations . Many wired networks base the security on physical access control , trusting all the users on the local network , but if wireless access points are connected to the network , anybody within range of the AP ( which typically extends farther than the intended area ) can attach to the network . The most common solution is wireless traffic encryption . Modern access points come with built - in encryption . The first generation encryption scheme , WEP , proved easy to crack ; the second and third generation schemes , WPA and WPA2 , are considered secure if a strong enough password or passphrase is used . Some APs support hotspot style authentication using RADIUS and other authentication servers . Opinions about wireless network security vary widely . For example , in a 2008 article for Wired magazine , Bruce Schneier asserted the net benefits of open Wi - Fi without passwords outweigh the risks , a position supported in 2014 by Peter Eckersley of the Electronic Frontier Foundation . The opposite position was taken by Nick Mediati in an article for PC World , in which he takes the position that every wireless access point should be protected with a password .

In 1925 , the Oklahoma A&M program joined the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association . In 1928 , the MVIAA split into the Big Six Conference and the Missouri Valley Conference . A&M was the only large school that joined the smaller MVC . Jim Lookabaugh era ( 1939 -- 1949 ) ( edit ) Jim Lookabaugh led the Aggies for eleven seasons , which included a 9 -- 0 campaign and a national championship in 1945 which followed an 8 -- 1 season the year before . Lookabaugh was an OSU alum who lettered in multiple sports . In October 2016 , Oklahoma State was retroactively awarded the 1945 national championship by the American Football Coaches Association ( AFCA ) . Lookabaugh stepped down after the 1949 season , finishing his tenure with a mark of 58 -- 41 -- 6 . Jennings Whitworth era ( 1950 -- 1954 ) ( edit ) From 1950 to 1954 , Jennings B. Whitworth coached at Oklahoma A&M , and compiled a 22 -- 27 -- 1 record , which included only one winning season , a 7 -- 3 campaign in 1953 . Whitworth departed A&M to accept the head coaching position at Alabama following the 1954 season . In 1951 , Oklahoma A&M players and coaches caused the Johnny Bright incident , a violent on - field assault against an African American player from Drake University , Johnny Bright ; Oklahoma A&M administration would attempt to cover up and deny the incident for over half a century . Cliff Speegle era ( 1955 -- 1962 ) ( edit ) Cliff Speegle took the reins of the Oklahoma A&M Cowboys . Under Speegle 's tutelage , the Cowboys compiled a record of 36 -- 42 -- 3 , which included three winning seasons from 1957 to 1959 . The losing record , combined with an 0 -- 8 mark against rival Oklahoma , resulted in Speegle 's firing following the 1962 season . In 1956 , A&M announced it was joining ( or rejoining , depending on one 's view ) what had become the Big Seven for the 1958 -- 59 academic year . As part of a transition period , the Cowboys went independent for two years . On May 15 , 1957 , Oklahoma A&M changed its name to Oklahoma State University . They officially became a part of the renamed Big Eight Conference in 1958 . Phil Cutchin era ( 1963 -- 1968 ) ( edit ) Longtime Bear Bryant assistant Phil Cutchin led Oklahoma State to its first win over Oklahoma in 20 years , but failed to bring success to Stillwater , compiling a mark of 19 -- 38 -- 2 . Cutchin was replaced by the OSU administration eager to see a winning product on the field . Floyd Gass era ( 1969 -- 1971 ) ( edit ) Oklahoma State continued to struggle under head coach Floyd Gass , an OSU alum , who led the Cowboy football program for three seasons . During his tenure , he led the team to three straight losing seasons . Fan and administration support became increasingly hard to come by as the on - field production slipped . Despite the lack of football success , Gass would serve in multiple capactities at OSU , including athletics director for several years after his resignation as football coach . Dave Smith era ( 1972 ) ( edit ) The Cowboys were finally able to enjoy a winning season -- their first in nine years -- in 1974 under the leadership of head coach Dave Smith . However , Smith would n't stick around , as he departed for the head coaching position at SMU after just one season in Stillwater . Jim Stanley era ( 1973 -- 1978 ) ( edit ) Coach Stanley Jim Stanley , a two - time defensive coordinator at OSU , returned to Stillwater to become the head coach of the Cowboys in 1973 . He coached them from 1973 to 1978 , amassing a career record of 35 -- 31 -- 2 . Stanley 's Cowboys earned a Fiesta Bowl victory in 1974 and his 1976 team ended the season 9 -- 3 finishing as a Big Eight tri-champions on their way to a Tangerine Bowl victory . His success at Oklahoma State earned him many accolades , including being invited to coach three collegiate all - star games : the 1973 East -- West Shrine Game , the 1977 Hula Bowl , and the 1977 Japan Bowl . In 1978 , the Big Eight Conference initiated an investigation into the OSU football program in response to allegations of violations of several NCAA rules and regulations while Stanley was head coach . Stanley successfully filed suit against the conference to require them to provide various due process protections in their final hearing on the charges . Jimmy Johnson era ( 1979 -- 1983 ) ( edit ) In 1979 , Jimmy Johnson got the head coaching job at Oklahoma State . Johnson 's successful rebuilding of the inconsistent Cowboys football program is a hallmark in the long history of Cowboy football . In his final season , he led the Cowboys to an 8 -- 4 record and a 24 -- 14 victory over 20th - ranked Baylor in the Astro - Bluebonnet Bowl . The season included a season opening romp over then # 12 ranked Arizona State in Tempe , and a Bedlam matchup between the # 2 ranked Oklahoma Sooners and the # 3 - ranked Cowboys on November 24 , 1984 . A game in which the Cowboys ultimately lost , 24 -- 14 . In 1984 , when he was offered the head coaching job at Miami , Jimmy Johnson was unsure if he wanted to leave Stillwater . His good friend Larry Lacewell told Johnson that if he wanted to win a national championship and eventually coach in the NFL he had to take the Miami job . Johnson soon after accepted the head coaching job at Miami . Jimmy Johnson left OSU with an overall record of 29 -- 25 -- 3 . Pat Jones era ( 1984 -- 1994 ) ( edit ) Pat Jones was promoted from assistant coach to head coach following Johnson 's departure . He served as head coach of the Oklahoma State Cowboys from 1984 to 1994 after five years as an assistant under Jimmy Johnson . During his 11 years at Oklahoma State , he compiled a 62 -- 60 -- 3 record , including a 3 -- 1 bowl game record . Jones was named Big Eight Coach of the Year in both 1984 and 1992 . From 1984 to 1988 , Jones led the Cowboys to the most successful period in school history at the time . With a talented roster that included running backs Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas , wide receiver Hart Lee Dykes and quarterback Mike Gundy , they went 44 -- 15 over this five - year stretch , including the school 's first three - year stretch of ten - win seasons . Running back Barry Sanders played for the Cowboys from 1986 to 1988 . During his first two seasons at Oklahoma State , he backed up All - American Thurman Thomas . In 1987 , Sanders led the nation in yards per kickoff return ( 31.6 ) , while also rushing for over 600 yards and scoring 8 touchdowns . Thomas moved on to the NFL , and Sanders became the starter for his junior year . In 1988 , in what has been called the greatest individual season in college football history , Sanders led the nation by averaging 7.6 yards per carry and over 200 yards per game , including rushing for over 300 yards in four games . Despite his massive workload of 344 carries , Sanders was still used as the team 's punt and kickoff returner , adding another 516 yards on special teams . He set college football season records with 2,628 yards rushing , 3,248 total yards , 234 points , 39 touchdowns , 37 rushing touchdowns , 5 consecutive 200 yard games , scored at least 2 touchdowns in 11 consecutive games , and 9 times he scored at least 3 touchdowns . Sanders also ran for 222 yards and scored 5 touchdowns in his three quarters of action in the 1988 Holiday Bowl , a game that is not included in the official NCAA season statistics . Sanders learned of his Heisman Trophy win while he was with the team in Tokyo , Japan , preparing to face Texas Tech in the Coca - Cola Classic . He chose to leave Oklahoma State before his senior season to enter the NFL draft . Days after the 1988 season , Oklahoma State and the NCAA released the results of an unusual joint investigation into the football program . The investigation revealed several major violations dating prior to Johnson 's tenure , principally involvement in a `` bidding war '' for Dykes out of high school . The Cowboys were banned from bowl games for three years and from live television for two years , and they were also limited to 20 scholarships from 1989 to 1992 . Jones was not directly implicated in any wrongdoing ; indeed , the investigation found that no violations had taken place in two years . He was unable to put together another winning team due to the sanctions , and left OSU after the 1994 season . In Jones ' last six years , the Cowboys won only seven games in Big Eight play , including three seasons of winless conference records . Oklahoma State would need almost the entire decade of the 1990s to recover ; with only one winning season coming between 1989 and 2001 . Bob. Simmons era ( 1995 -- 2000 ) ( edit ) Bob Simmons came to OSU from his post as defensive line coach at Colorado to replace Jones . Simmons ' teams were largely unsuccessful , and Simmons resigned under pressure following the 2000 season . His final record in Stillwater was 30 -- 38 with just one winning campaign , an 8 -- 4 season in 1997 that culminated in a loss in the Alamo Bowl . In 1996 , OSU joined with the other Big Eight schools and four schools from the old Southwest Conference to form the Big 12 Conference . Les Miles era ( 2001 -- 2004 ) ( edit ) After Simmons ' resignation , a coaching search produced Dirk Koetter as the new head coach . Hours after accepting the job , Koetter reneged on his offer in order to coach at Arizona State . The next two candidates were Les Miles , a former OSU offensive coordinator , and Mike Gundy , a former OSU player and coach . Miles was hired as head coach while Gundy was brought on as offensive coordinator . In his first year as head coach , Miles would achieve a 4 -- 7 record . In the 2001 regular season finale , the underdog Cowboys would defeat the reigning National Champion Oklahoma Sooners in Norman 16 -- 13 . In 2002 , Miles would post a 7 -- 5 regular season record . The Cowboys again defeated the Oklahoma Sooners , this time in Stillwater . The team would go on to three straight bowl games in Miles 's last three years as head coach ( ' 02 , ' 03 , ' 04 ) . Miles left after the 2004 season to take the head coaching position at LSU . Mike Gundy era ( 2005 -- present ) ( edit ) Mike Gundy was promoted from offensive coordinator and named immediately as Miles ' successor and the 22nd head coach at Oklahoma State . Gundy is one of three head football coaches at Oklahoma State to have played for Oklahoma State , along with Jim Lookabaugh and Floyd Gass . Coach Mike Gundy His first season saw the expulsion of eleven players from the team and the Cowboys struggled to a 4 -- 7 record winning only one Big 12 conference game . In his second season , the Cowboy offense began to click and the Cowboys would finish 7 -- 6 including a victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Independence Bowl . In 2007 , the Cowboys again posted a 6 -- 6 regular season record and a bowl win over the Indiana Hoosiers in the Insight Bowl . After their second straight bowl appearance , Gundy was rewarded with a contract extension through the 2013 season . After posting a 9 -- 3 regular season record in 2008 , Coach Gundy received a new seven - year contract worth $15.7 million . The contract , which extends through the 2015 season , was taken into effect on January 1 , 2009 . Gundy 's tenure as head coach of the Cowboys has seen the rise and expansion of not only his football program , but the football facilities as well . The Cowboys began the 2009 season ranked # 9 in the country in the AP Top 25 , but the dreams of a miracle season were crushed when the Pokes lost 45 -- 35 to the unranked Houston Cougars at home the following week , and later finding out that star wide receiver Dez Bryant was ruled ineligible for the remainder of the season , for lying to the NCAA about having contact with 8 - time pro bowler Deion Sanders , which was n't an NCAA violation in the first place . The following year , Oklahoma State hired Offensive Coordinator Dana Holgorsen from the University of Houston . In 2010 coach Gundy recorded the first ever 11 - win season in Oklahoma State history . What was supposed to be a rebuilding year turned into the best in school history . Under Gundy there have been a series of NFL quality wide receivers to come through Boone Pickens Stadium . These include Adarius Bowman , Dez Bryant , and Justin Blackmon . On December 3 , 2011 , the Cowboys won their first Big - 12 Championship in school history with a 44 -- 10 victory over rival Oklahoma in the Bedlam Series . The nationally third - ranked Cowboys eventually went on to win the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl by beating fourth - ranked Stanford in overtime , 41 -- 38 , on January 2 , 2012 . On October 29 , 2016 , Mike Gundy recorded his 100th victory as a head coach with a 37 -- 20 win over # 10 West Virginia . In the process , notching his sixth victory over a top 10 ranked school . Mike Gundy is the only Oklahoma State football coach to record 100 victories , and only the 6th coach to reach such a milestone with his current school . Facilities ( edit ) Oklahoma State plays in Boone Pickens Stadium on Lewis Field in Stillwater , Oklahoma . The original football field was inaugurated in 1913 , and the first stand was built in 1920 . At that time the field was repositioned from a north - south to an east - west configuration to avoid the strong prevailing winds of northern Oklahoma . To this day Boone Pickens Stadium is one of a very few major college football stadiums with an east - west configuration . By 1930 the capacity had risen to 13,000 and increased again in 1947 . Major additions , including the first press box , brought the capacity to 30,000 . In 1950 again seats were added and the total capacity increased to 39,000 . The next renovations came in 1972 and for the next three decades the capacity hovered around 50,000 . In 2003 alumnus T. Boone Pickens made a historic donation to the university for improvements to its athletic facilities , and it was announced that the stadium would be renamed in his honor . The announcement of the renovation came after two consecutive victories over the Oklahoma Sooners in the Bedlam Series . The latest renovation of the football stadium was completed in 2009 , with the current capacity at 60,218 . In 2007 , plans to build the Sherman E. Smith Training Center were unveiled . The 92,000 square foot indoor practice facility was completed in 2013 .

Writers Thayer Evans and George Dohrmann reportedly engaged in a 10 - month - long investigation into wrongdoing throughout the early - mid 2000s of the Oklahoma State football program . The first installment `` The Money '' made allegations of illicit gifts , overzealous boosters , no - show jobs , and a bounty system in place . The second installment , `` The Academics '' alleged academic fraud , steering athletes into easy pass or no - show classes , and grade tampering . The third installment , `` The Drugs '' painted a picture of a drug culture , in which the players were selling drugs , and the school did little to curtail drug usage . The fourth installment , `` The Sex '' was heavily edited by all accounts , considering its late online release time . This installment revealed a hostess program where the head coaches oversaw the application process , and writers implied the hostesses were expected to have sex with recruits . The final installment `` The Fallout '' told the tale of Artrell Woods , who had left school after a horrific accident from which he had recovered . While at first shocking to fans and media , Oklahoma State immediately pledged transparency . Athletic Director Mike Holder held a press conference the day before the release and apologized for the bad publicity , and promised to investigate the claims . OSU then hired independent investigator , Charles Smrt to conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations . ESPN later debunked several of the claims in the story by simply calling OSU 's registrar and obtaining a transcript from Tatum Bell that proved he was not in school during stated timelines . Further controversy began to surround the Sports Illustrated article when Jason Whitlock , a former colleague of Evans , claimed that he was a huge fan of the University of Oklahoma . Dohrmann went on national syndicated radio with Doug Gottlieb and stated that Fath ' Carter had two degrees from OSU . When questioned by ESPN 's Brett McMurphy , the registrars ' office later stated that Fath ' Carter had never graduated . Brandon Weeden also was able to point to unprofessional behavior from Evans displayed during a press conference . DeadSpin also found out that many crucial professors and tutors never were interviewed for the story . In June 2014 , John Talley , a spokesperson for the FCA chapter at Oklahoma State had filed a lawsuit against Dohrmann , Time Inc. , and Evans for false - light accusations which painted him as an overzealous booster . In his lawsuit , Talley is seeking damages of $75,000 . In July 2014 , OSU confirmed that the NCAA had been investigating the allegations . On October 21 , 2014 , the NCAA and The Compliance Group , an independent investigation firm led by Charles Smrt , jointly released a statement that the allegations contained in the Sports Illustrated story were `` fundamentally unfounded '' . The NCAA and the investigator had pored over 50,000 emails and had unfettered access to all areas of the compliance department and re-interviewed those who were quoted in the story . The report stated `` Overall , several interviewees indicated that they reported to SI general information or incidents about college football but that the SI reporter indicated that the incident occurred at OSU . '' During the joint investigation , however , three lesser allegations -- not related to the Sports Illustrated claims , and labeled as Level II violations - were uncovered `` During the period of fall 2007 through the spring of 2013 , approximately 1,572 drug tests occurred of football players . There were 94 positives involving approximately 60 student - athletes per the policy . ( According to the company used by the University to conduct its drug testing program , this positive rate per total number of tests is slightly less than the national average ) . The institution examined the application of the policy in those 94 situations and believes that on four occasions , the applicable penalty per the policy was not applied and reported this information to the Enforcement Staff . '' Also , it was deemed that the Orange Pride spirit program was chartered under the football program , but a recent NCAA policy change in 2007 required spirit clubs to form under the admissions department . Because of these two minor violations , OSU was cited for a failure to monitor in these two instances . The total cost for the independent investigation amounted to $221,055.18 . On January 22 , 2015 , Burns Hargis and other OSU officials visited the NCAA offices in Indianapolis to appeal to the NCAA . Even as Level II allegations , OSU officials considered them harsh and sought to have them reduced further . Hargis stated OSU 's intent on having those Level II allegations reconsidered , possibly as Level III . On April 24 , 2015 , the NCAA announced the sanctions against Oklahoma State would include an $8,500 fine and one - year probation to avoid further citings . The University self - imposed limits on the number of recruiting visits , off - campus evaluations , and the number of evaluation days in the fall and spring recruiting periods all of which will expire in 2016 . The University is also not allowed to use the Orange Pride program to assist with recruiting visits for four years ( 2019 -- 2020 season ) . No scholarships were reduced and no postseason bans were put into place . Logos and uniforms ( edit ) Throughout the 2000s , the Cowboys had four main uniform combinations . For the 2011 football season , it was revealed that Nike had created new uniforms for the Cowboys , offering three different helmet options in either gray , black , or white . New jerseys and pants consisting of black , orange , grey and white also came aboard , allowing for up to 48 different variations . The Cowboys debuted their new gray uniforms for the first game of the 2011 season . In a 2012 home game against Iowa State , the Cowboys debuted the new orange helmets , along with a new Pistol Pete decal . This would bring the different uniform combinations up to 64 . The uniform combinations are chosen before the season by a committee of players and the Cowboys equipment manager , Wes Edwards . A few patterns have evolved since the origination of the multiple uniform era . Thursday night games during 2009 , 2010 , 2011 , and in 2014 have involved black uniforms . Another trend has the Cowboys reverting to the traditional White Helmet / Traditional Brand Logo / Orange Jersey / White Pants for the home opener in 2012 , 2013 , and 2014 . Bowl games for the 2012 Fiesta Bowl , the 2013 Heart of Dallas Bowl , and the high - profile 2014 season opener in the Cowboys Classic featured Oklahoma State wearing all black . During the 2012 season , fans saw the addition of the orange helmet , and the addition of new decals . For the first time since 1979 , the Cowboys took the field in `` All Orange '' against Iowa State for Homecoming . Also during the 2012 season , new carbon fiber gray helmets replaced the matte gray that had been used in 2011 . The Cowboys helmet logos include a Pistol Pete logo , as well as what fans refer to as `` Phantom Pete '' . The `` OSU '' Branded logo was now featured in different variants , to reflect the helmet being worn . During 2013 , OSU began incorporating a stripe down the center of their helmets for different variations . In 2014 , OSU revealed two new helmet choices - a `` classic Aggie '' which paid homage to the bucking Aggie logo used in the 1940s and 1950s when the school was still called Oklahoma A&M Aggies . The other helmet was an Orange - Chrome with an oversized , off - center Pistol Pete . This was worn in a Thursday night victory over Texas Tech . Past uniforms ( edit ) Oklahoma State 's Uniforms for 2010 Season 2011 Season Opener Combination Carbon Fiber Helmet 2014 Bucking Aggie Logo 2014 Orange Chrome Pete 2012 Oklahoma State Uniform 2013 Oklahoma State Uniform Paddle people ( edit ) The student section has a tradition of hitting orange paddles on the sideline wall at home games . This tradition apparently started in the early 1990s , and has since become an official group within the university . The orange paddles have the word `` pokes '' in bold letters written on them . Rivalries ( edit ) Oklahoma ( edit ) Main article : Bedlam Series The first Bedlam game was held at Island Park in Guthrie , Oklahoma . It was a cold , and very windy day with the temperatures well below the freezing mark . At one moment in the game when the Oklahoma A&M Aggies were punting , the wind carried the ball backwards behind the kicker . If the Oklahoma A&M squad recovered the ball it would be a touchback and if the University of Oklahoma squad recovered it , it would be a touchdown . The ball kept going backwards and rolled down a hill into the half - frozen creek . Since a touchdown was at stake , members of both teams dove into the icy waters to recover the ball . A member of the OU team came out with the ball and downed it for a touchdown , eventually winning the game 75 -- 0. ( 2 ) Thus was the beginning of Bedlam . Author Steve Budin , whose father was a New York bookie , has recently publicized the claim that the 1954 `` Bedlam '' game against rival OU was fixed by mobsters in his book Bets , Drugs , and Rock & Roll ( ISBN 1 - 60239 - 099 - 1 ) . Allegedly , the mobsters threatened and paid off a cook to slip laxatives into a soup eaten by many OU Sooner starting players , causing them to fall violently ill in the days leading up to the game . OU was victorious in the end , but their 14 -- 0 win did not cover the 20 - point spread they had in their favor . However , many people involved in the 1954 contest do not recall any incident like the one purported by Budin to have occurred . The University of Oklahoma leads the Bedlam Series in football 86 -- 18 -- 7 after claiming their 10th Big XII Conference Championship 38 -- 20 against Oklahoma State on Dec 3 , 2016 . Tulsa ( edit ) Main article : Oklahoma State - Tulsa football rivalry The Cowboys also have a rivalry with Tulsa . Oklahoma State leads Tulsa in the all - time series 40 -- 27 -- 5 , winning the most recent match up in 2017 , 59 -- 24 . Since 1990 Tulsa is 3 -- 9 versus Oklahoma State with the Cowboys scoring at least 36 points in each of the last four contests . The Cowboys have a twenty - game home winning streak against Tulsa . The last time Tulsa won in Stillwater was 1951 .

-4206045168581807247 | Software asset management | Software asset management - wikipedia Software asset management Jump to : navigation , search Software asset management ( SAM ) is a business practice that involves managing and optimizing the purchase , deployment , maintenance , utilization , and disposal of software applications within an organization . According to the Information Technology Infrastructure Library ( ITIL ) , SAM is defined as `` ... all of the infrastructure and processes necessary for the effective management , control and protection of the software assets ... throughout all stages of their lifecycle . '' Fundamentally intended to be part of an organization 's information technology business strategy , the goals of SAM are to reduce information technology ( IT ) costs and limit business and legal risk related to the ownership and use of software , while maximizing IT responsiveness and end - user productivity . SAM is particularly important for large corporations in regard to redistribution of licenses and managing legal risks associated with software ownership and expiration . SAM technologies track license expiration , thus allowing the company to function ethically and within software compliance regulations . This can be important for both eliminating legal costs associated with license agreement violations and as part of a company 's reputation management strategy . Both are important forms of risk management and are critical for large corporations ' long - term business strategies . SAM is one facet of a broader business discipline known as IT asset management , which includes overseeing both software and hardware that comprise an organization 's computers and network . Contents ( hide ) 1 Role within organizations 2 SAM Technology 3 International Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) 4 Issues with scalability 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Role within organizations ( edit ) SAM can serve many different functions within organizations , depending on their software portfolios , IT infrastructures , resource availability , and business goals . For many organizations , the goal of implementing a SAM program is very tactical in nature , focused specifically on balancing the number of software licenses purchased with the number of actual licenses consumed or used . In addition to balancing the number of licenses purchased with the amount of consumption , an effective SAM program must also ensure that the usage of all installed software is in keeping with the terms and conditions of the specific vendor license agreement . In doing so , organizations can minimize liabilities associated with software piracy in the event of an audit by a software vendor or a third party such as the Business Software Alliance ( BSA ) . SAM , according to this interpretation , involves conducting detailed software inventories on a periodic basis to determine the exact number of software licenses consumed , comparing this information with the number of licenses purchased , reviewing how the software is being used in respect to the terms and conditions and establishing controls to ensure that proper licensing practices are maintained on an ongoing basis . This can be accomplished through a combination of IT processes , purchasing policies and procedures , and technology solutions such as software inventory tools . Counting installations is the most common means of measuring license consumption but some software is licensed by number of users , capital , processors or CPU Cores . More broadly defined , the strategic goals of SAM often include ( but are not limited to ) the following : Reduce software and support costs by negotiating volume contract agreements and eliminating or reallocating underutilized software licenses Enforce compliance with corporate security policies and desktop / server / mobile standards Improve worker productivity by deploying the right kinds of technology more quickly and reliably Limit overhead associated with managing and supporting software by streamlining and / or automating IT processes ( such as inventory tracking , software deployment , issue tracking , and patch management ) Establish ongoing policies and procedures surrounding the acquisition , documentation , deployment , usage and retirement of software in an effort to recognize long - term benefits of SAM SAM technology ( edit ) A number of technologies are available to support key SAM processes : Software inventory tools intelligently `` discover '' software installed across the computer network , and collect software file information such as title , product ID , size , date , path , and version . License manager solutions provide an intelligent repository for license entitlements which can then be reconciled against data provided by Software inventory tools to provide the organization with an ' Effective License Position ' or view of where the organization is under - licensed ( at risk of a compliance audit ) or over-licensed ( wasting money on unnecessary software purchases ) . Software metering tools monitor the utilization of software applications across a network . They can also provide real - time enforcement of compliance for applications licensed based on usage . Application control tools restrict what and by whom particular software can be run on a computer as a means of avoiding security and other risks . Software deployment tools automate and regulate the deployment of new software . Patch management tools automate the deployment of software patches to ensure that computers are up - to - date and meet applicable security and efficiency standards . Request management tools allow employees to place requests for software products using a centralized form and process specifically designed to capture and assess specific license requirements as well as to manage and track the procurement and deployment process . Product catalog tools capture product specific information such as name , edition , version and license agreement types as well as other key top level information for products used within the business . This information normalizes product naming conventions with the organization and allows mapping between other technologies tools used in the composite SAM solution . International organization for Standardization ( ISO ) ( edit ) Main article : ISO 19770 The latest version of the SAM standard from ISO is 19770 - 1 : 2012 . This revised standard is designed to allow the implementation of SAM processes to be `` accomplished in multiple staged increments or tiers . '' Part 1 of the standard details SAM processes including control environment , planning and implementation , inventory , verification and compliance , operations management and life cycle . In 2003 , the International Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) and the International Electrotechnical Commission ( IEC ) began working with the SAM industry to develop a standard of best practices for software asset management programs . Standard ISO / IEC 19770 - 1 : 2006 , Information technology -- software asset management -- Part 1 , was published by the ISO and IEC in May 2006 . ISO / IEC 19770 - 2 : 2015 : Software identification tag ; establishes specifications for tagging software to optimize its identification and management . The current version was published in 2015 and is a revision to the 2009 original Software ID Tag standard . Using software identification tags or SWID tags makes discovery a simpler and more accurate process that can be verified by software vendors if they audit an organisations entire estate . SWID tags are implemented and supported by many vendors including IBM , Microsoft and Adobe . ISO / IEC 19770 - 3 : 2016 : Entitlement Management Schema outlines a technical schema which can be used to encapsulate license details including contract information , entitlements , rights , limitations and details about invoice , PO numbers , etc . This is currently at FDIS ( Final Draft International Standard ) stage and was published in April of 2016 . ISO 55000 : 2014 is the new international standard for asset management and was ratified in January 2014 . It provides an overview of asset management , its principles and terminology , and the expected benefits from adopting a comprehensive asset management strategy . This standardisation is driving increased interest in the whole asset management market , including asset management software , and is particularly interesting to asset - intensive organisations including Utilities , Chemical and Transport companies . 19770 - 1 is aligned with this standard . ISO 55000 : 2014 can be applied to all types of assets and by all types and sizes of organization . It is intended to be used for managing physical assets in particular , but it can also be applied to other asset types . By itself it does not cover many of the requirements for IT and Software Asset Management , such as licensing , and the additional controls which are needed in general for software ( e.g. for access and integrity ) , and for complex control situations such as SaaS and BYOD . These additional requirements are being incorporated in edition 3 of ISO / IEC 19770 - 1 which is based on ISO 55000 : 2014 . Publication is not likely until 2017 . Issues with scalability ( edit ) An example of issues faced when scaling up discovery tools is with Microsoft 's System Centre Configuration Manager ( SCCM ) . Using SCCM Metering Rules to monitor software usage across a small estate or a small number of applications is relatively easy and reliable given the total number of unique executables (. exe files ) and the number of instances of each executable . Turning on Metering Rules for every packaged application and every executable in a large estate quickly makes the volume of data generated unmanageable and expensive to maintain . Most SAM tools which consume SCCM data rely on these Metering Rules to understand usage .

"Software asset management (SAM) is a business practice that involves managing and optimizing the purchase, deployment, maintenance, utilization, and disposal of software applications within an organization. According to the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), SAM is defined as “…all of the infrastructure and processes necessary for the effective management, control and protection of the software assets…throughout all stages of their lifecycle.”[1] Fundamentally intended to be part of an organization’s information technology business strategy, the goals of SAM are to reduce information technology (IT) costs and limit business and legal risk related to the ownership and use of software, while maximizing IT responsiveness and end-user productivity.[2] SAM is particularly important for large corporations in regard to redistribution of licenses and managing legal risks associated with software ownership and expiration. SAM technologies track license expiration, thus allowing the company to function ethically and within software compliance regulations. This can be important for both eliminating legal costs associated with license agreement violations and as part of a company's reputation management strategy. Both are important forms of risk management and are critical for large corporations' long-term business strategies."

During normal prenatal development , cells from the neural crest migrate into the large intestine ( colon ) to form the networks of nerves called the myenteric plexus ( Auerbach plexus ) ( between the smooth muscle layers of the gastrointestinal tract wall ) and the submucosal plexus ( Meissner plexus ) ( within the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract wall ) . In Hirschsprung 's disease , the migration is not complete and part of the colon lacks these nerve bodies that regulate the activity of the colon . The affected segment of the colon can not relax and pass stool through the colon , creating an obstruction . In most affected people , the disorder affects the part of the colon nearest the anus . In rare cases , the lack of nerve bodies involves more of the colon . In 5 % of cases , the entire colon is affected . The stomach and esophagus may be affected , too . Hirschsprung 's disease occurs in about one in 5,000 of live births . It is usually diagnosed in children , and affects boys more often than girls . About 10 % of cases are familial .

Typically , Hirschsprung 's disease is diagnosed shortly after birth , although it may develop well into adulthood , because of the presence of megacolon , or because the baby fails to pass the first stool ( meconium ) within 48 hours of delivery . Normally , 90 % of babies pass their first meconium within 24 hours , and 99 % within 48 hours . Other symptoms include green or brown vomit , explosive stools after a doctor inserts a finger into the rectum , swelling of the abdomen , excessive gas , and bloody diarrhea . Some cases are diagnosed later , into childhood , but usually before age 10 . The child may experience fecal retention , constipation , or abdominal distention . With an incidence of one in 5,000 births , the most cited feature is absence of ganglion cells : notably in males , 75 % have none in the end of the colon ( rectosigmoid ) and 8 % lack ganglion cells in the entire colon . The enlarged section of the bowel is found proximally , while the narrowed , aganglionic section is found distally , closer to the end of the bowel . The absence of ganglion cells results in a persistent overstimulation of nerves in the affected region , resulting in contraction . In some extremely rare cases , the absence of ganglion cells continues to spread after the corrective surgery , resulting in multiple surgeries . Those patients who also have thyroid cancer may be able to digest food properly , but may not be able to use the nutrients properly . Pathophysiology ( edit ) The most accepted theory of the cause of Hirschsprung is a defect in the craniocaudal migration of neuroblasts originating from the neural crest that occurs during the first 12 weeks of gestation . Defects in the differentiation of neuroblasts into ganglion cells and accelerated ganglion cell destruction within the intestine may also contribute to the disorder . This lack of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexus is well documented in Hirschsprung 's disease . With Hirschsprung 's disease , the segment lacking neurons ( aganglionic ) becomes constricted , causing the normal , proximal section of bowel to become distended with feces . This narrowing of the distal colon and the failure of relaxation in the aganglionic segment are thought to be caused by the lack of neurons containing nitric oxide synthase . The equivalent disease in horses is lethal white syndrome . Genetic basis ( edit ) Several genes and specific regions on chromosomes ( loci ) have been shown or suggested to be associated with Hirschsprung 's disease : Type OMIM Gene Locus HSCR1 142623 RET 10q11. 2 HSCR2 600155 EDNRB 13q22 HSCR3 600837 GDNF 5p13. 1 - p12 HSCR4 131242 EDN3 20q13. 2 - q13. 3 HSCR5 600156 ? 21q22 HSCR6 606874 ? 3p21 HSCR7 606875 ? 19q12 HSCR8 608462 ? 16q23 HSCR9 611644 ? 4q31 - 32 -- 602229 SOX10 22q13 -- 600423 ECE1 1p36. 1 -- 602018 NRTN 19p13. 3 -- 602595 SIP1 14q13 - q21 -- 191315 NTRK1 1q23. 1 -- 605802 ZEB2 2q22. 3 Hirschsprung 's disease can also present as part of a multisystem disorder , such as Down syndrome , Bardet -- Biedl syndrome , Waardenburg -- Shah syndrome , Mowat -- Wilson syndrome , Goldberg -- Shprintzen megacolon syndrome , cartilage -- hair hypoplasia , multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 , Smith - Lemli - Opitz syndrome , and congenital central hypoventilation syndrome . The RET proto - oncogene accounts for the highest proportion of both familial and sporadic cases , with a wide range of mutations scattered along its entire coding region . A proto - oncogene is a gene that can cause cancer if it is mutated or over-expressed . Research published in 2002 suggested that Hirschsprung 's may be caused by the interaction between two proteins encoded by two variant genes . The RET proto - oncogene on chromosome 10 was identified as one of the two genes involved . The other protein with which RET must interact to cause Hirschsprung 's disease is termed EDNRB , and is encoded by the gene EDNRB located on chromosome 13 . Hirschsprung 's disease , hypoganglionosis , gut dysmotility , gut transit disorders , and intussusception have been recorded with the dominantly inherited neurovisceral porphyrias ( acute intermittent porphyria , hereditary coproporphyria , variegate porphyria ) . Children may require enzyme or DNA testing for these disorders , as they may not produce or excrete porphyrins before puberty . RET proto - oncogene ( edit ) RET is a gene that codes for proteins that assist cells of the neural crest in their movement through the digestive tract during the development of the embryo . Those neural crest cells eventually form bundles of nerve cells called ganglions . EDNRB codes for proteins that connect these nerve cells to the digestive tract . Thus , mutations in these two genes could directly lead to the absence of certain nerve fibers in the colon . Research suggests that several genes are associated with Hirschsprung 's disease . Also , new research suggests that mutations in genomic sequences involved in regulating EDNRB have a bigger impact on Hirschsprung 's disease than previously thought . RET can mutate in many ways and is associated with Down syndrome . Since Down syndrome is comorbid in 2 % of Hirschsprung 's cases , a likelihood exists that RET is involved heavily in both Hirschsprung 's disease and Down syndrome . RET is also associated with medullary thyroid cancer and neuroblastoma , which is a type of cancer common in children . Both of these disorders are more common in Hirschsprung 's patients than in the general population . One function that RET controls is the travel of the neural crest cells through the intestines in the developing fetus . The earlier the RET mutation occurs in Hirschsprung 's disease , the more severe the disorder becomes . Other genes ( edit ) Common and rare DNA variations in the neuregulin 1 ( NRG1 ) and NRG3 ( NRG3 ) were first shown to be associated with the disease in Chinese patients through a Genome Wide Association Study by the Hong Kong team in 2009 and 2012 , respectively Subsequent studies in both Asian and Caucasian patients confirmed the initial findings by the University of Hong Kong . Both rare and common variants in these two genes have been identified in additional Chinese , Thai , Korean , Indonesian and Spanish patients . These two genes are known to play a role in the formation of the enteric nervous system ; thus , they are likely to be involved in the pathology of Hirschsprung 's disease , at least in some cases . Diagnosis ( edit ) Definitive diagnosis is made by suction biopsy of the distally narrowed segment . A histologic examination of the tissue would show a lack of ganglionic nerve cells . Diagnostic techniques involve anorectal manometry , barium enema , and rectal biopsy . The suction rectal biopsy is considered the current international gold standard in the diagnosis of Hirschsprung 's disease . Radiologic findings may also assist with diagnosis . Cineanography ( fluoroscopy of contrast medium passing anorectal region ) assists in determining the level of the affected intestines . Treatment ( edit ) Treatment of Hirschsprung 's disease consists of surgical removal ( resection ) of the abnormal section of the colon , followed by reanastomosis . Colostomy ( edit ) The first stage of treatment used to be a reversible colostomy . In this approach , the healthy end of the large intestine is cut and attached to an opening created on the front of the abdomen . The contents of the bowel are discharged through the hole in the abdomen and into a bag . Later , when the patient 's weight , age , and condition are right , the `` new '' functional end of the bowel is connected with the anus . The first surgical treatment involving surgical resection followed by reanastomosis without a colostomy occurred as early as 1933 by Doctor Baird in Birmingham on a one - year - old boy . Swenson , Soave , Duhamel , and Boley procedures ( edit ) The Swedish - American surgeon , Orvar Swenson ( 1909 -- 2012 ) , who discovered the cause of Hirschsprung 's , first performed its surgical treatment , the pull - through surgery , in 1948 . The pull - through procedure repairs the colon by connecting the functioning portion of the bowel to the anus . The pull - through procedure is the typical method for treating Hirschsprung 's in younger patients . Swenson devised the original procedure , and the pull - through surgery has been modified many times . Currently , several different surgical approaches are used , which include the Swenson , Soave , Duhamel , and Boley procedures . The Swenson procedure leaves a small portion of the diseased bowel . The Soave procedure , named after the Italian pediatric surgeon , Franco Soave ( 1917 -- 1984 ) , leaves the outer wall of the colon unaltered . The Boley procedure , pioneered by the American surgeon , Scott Boley ( b . 1941 ) , is a small modification of the Soave procedure , so the term `` Soave - Boley '' procedure is sometimes used . The Duhamel procedure , named for the French pediatric surgeon , Bernard Duhamel ( 1917 -- 1996 ) , uses a surgical stapler to connect the good and bad bowel . For the 15 % of children who do not obtain full bowel control , other treatments are available . Constipation may be remedied by laxatives or a high - fiber diet . In those patients , serious dehydration can play a major factor in their lifestyles . A lack of bowel control may be addressed by a stoma , similar to a colostomy . The Malone antegrade colonic enema ( ACE ) is also an option . In a Malone ACE , a tube goes through the abdominal wall to the appendix , or if available , to the colon . The bowel is then flushed daily . Children as young as 6 years of age may administer this daily flush on their own . If the affected portion of the lower intestine is restricted to the lower portion of the rectum , other surgical procedures may be performed , such as a posterior rectal myectomy . The prognosis is good in 70 % of cases . Chronic postoperative constipation is present in 7 to 8 % of the operated cases . Postoperative enterocolitis , a severe manifestation , is present in the 10 -- 20 % of operated patients . Associated syndromes ( edit ) Bardet -- Biedl syndrome Cartilage -- hair hypoplasia Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome MEN2 Mowat -- Wilson syndrome Smith -- Lemli -- Opitz syndrome Trisomy 21 ( Down syndrome ) Waardenburg syndrome Epidemiology ( edit ) According to a 1984 study conducted in Maryland , Hirschsprung 's disease appears in 18.6 per 100,000 live births . In Japan , it occurs at a similar rate of about one in 5,000 births ( 20 per 100,000 ) . It is more common in male than female ( 4.32 : 1 ) and in white rather than nonwhite . Nine percent of the Hirschsprung cases were also diagnosed as having Down syndrome . Most cases are diagnosed before the patient is 10 years of age . History ( edit ) The first report of Hirschsprung 's disease dates to 1691 , when it was described by Dutch anatomist Frederik Ruysch . However , the disease is named after Harald Hirschsprung , the Danish physician who first described two infants who died of this disorder in 1888 . Hirschsprung 's disease is a congenital disorder of the colon in which certain nerve cells , known as ganglion cells , are absent , causing chronic constipation . The lack of ganglion cells is in the myenteric plexus ( Auerbach 's plexus ) , which is responsible for moving food in the intestine . A barium enema is the mainstay of diagnosis of Hirschsprung 's , though a rectal biopsy showing the lack of ganglion cells is the only certain method of diagnosis . The first publication on an important genetic discovery of the disease was from Martucciello Giuseppe et al. in 1992 . The authors described a case of a patient with total colonic aganglionosis associated with a 46 , XX , del 10 ( q11. 21 q21. 2 ) karyotype . The major gene of Hirschsprung disease was identified in this chromosomal 10 region , it was the RET proto - oncogene . The usual treatment is `` pull - through '' surgery where the portion of the colon that does have nerve cells is pulled through and sewn over the part that lacks nerve cells . For a long time , Hirschsprung 's was considered a multifactorial disorder , where a combination of nature and nurture was considered to be the cause . However , in August 1993 , two articles by independent groups in Nature Genetics said that Hirschsprung 's disease could be mapped to a stretch of chromosome 10 . This research also suggested that a single gene was responsible for the disorder . However , the researchers were unable to isolate it .

She receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley , a small coal - mining town in Western Canada which is located just south of Robb , Alberta . There , life is simple -- but often fraught with challenges . Elizabeth charms most everyone in Coal Valley , except Royal North West Mounted Police Constable Jack Thornton ( Daniel Lissing ) . He believes Thatcher 's wealthy father has doomed the lawman 's career by insisting he be assigned in town to protect the shipping magnate 's daughter . The town of Coal Valley was renamed Hope Valley in Episode 2 , Season 2 after the coal mine was closed . Living in this 1910 coal town , Elizabeth must learn the ways of the Canadian frontier movement if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own . Lori Loughlin portrays Abigail Stanton , whose husband , the foreman of the mine , and her only son -- along with 45 other miners -- have recently been killed in an explosion , which turns out to have been a tragic accident waiting to happen -- a result of the mining - company site manager 's irresponsible management and lack of due care in his management of the mine . The newly widowed women find their faith tested when they must go to work in the mine to keep a roof over their heads , food on the table , and compile a wage for the town 's teacher .

The middle daughter of William and Grace Thatcher , Elizabeth has two sisters , older sister Viola and younger sister Julie . Elizabeth finds herself in Coal Valley , a small community on the Canadian frontier in need of a teacher , and quickly discovers it is not an easy place to live , lacking the creature comforts and luxuries of her privileged life with her family . She soon meets the newly appointed and charismatic Mountie Jack Thornton and develops an immediate dislike for him . However , over time they become good friends , and develop an obvious attraction to one another . In the final episode of season 1 , `` Prelude to a Kiss , '' ( also titled as `` Final Adieu '' ) , after overcoming many obstacles throughout the season , Jack tells Elizabeth , `` You 're the one , you 're the only one '' and they share a kiss . Throughout season 2 , Elizabeth 's feelings for Jack are high at times as well as low . Finally , in the season 2 finale , she admits that his job as a Mountie scares her . After being comforted both admitting that they love each other , Jack and Elizabeth kiss . Jack Thornton is a laid back country boy . Jack is the son of Mountie Thomas Thornton and his wife Charlotte Thornton . Jack has a younger brother , Tom ( named after his father ) . As a Mountie and a man of stout character and integrity , he often finds himself protecting and saving people . In season 1 's `` A Telling Silence , '' Jack finds a basset hound whom he names Rip ( after Rip Van Winkle ) and takes home with him . A source of comfort and companion in the small town , Jack often goes to Rip when times in his life are difficult .

Jack and Elizabeth search for him ; in their search , their relationship grows stronger . Upon his first meeting of Elizabeth , he developed an instant dislike and it appeared she irritated him . However , he grew to like and then fall madly and completely in love with her over time . In `` Rules of Engagement '' ( S. 1 ) , it is revealed that Jack was briefly engaged to Rosemary LeVeaux when she comes looking for him . However , they have both changed and realize that they can not have a relationship as they once did ever again . In `` Prelude to a Kiss '' ( S. 1 ) , Jack found out that Elizabeth may be leaving Coal Valley . Taking her on a walk and giving her a framed picture of them that he had sketched , he asks her not to leave Coal Valley and tells her , `` You 're the one , you 're the only one . '' She replied that she was `` not going anywhere '' , Coal Valley was where she belonged before they share a kiss . In season 2 , Elizabeth and Jack share a hot - and - cold relationship until the finale , `` With All My Heart . '' They both admit that they love each other and share another kiss . Jack 's brother , Tom , is introduced season 2 's `` Trials of the Heart , '' and their rocky relationship continues until `` Coming Together , Coming Apart . '' Jack gently reminds his younger brother how their father was so proud of him , but he would n't be proud of the way he was currently living . Both in tears , Jack tells his younger brother that he believes in him and that he can turn his life around . More recently , Jack has become good friends with the sawmill operator , Lee Coulter . In season 3 , Jack begins the new year knowing that Elizabeth only has eyes for him and that her relationship with Charles is over for good . In `` Hearts In Question , '' Jack 's mother Charlotte shows up unexpectedly . She meets Elizabeth and is suspicious of her , but through staying her sees Elizabeth for who she really is : a trustworthy , dedicated teacher . In the season finale , `` Prayers From The Heart , '' Jack is injured in a flood . But he miraculously recovers in time to serve as Lee 's best man at his wedding . Abigail Stanton is a Coal Valley woman who tragically lost her husband and son in the mining accident . Abigail is a very kind woman , and she stands strongly for the things she believes in . She is one of the first women to welcome Elizabeth and the two women quickly become friends . When Elizabeth accidentally burns down the little teacherage , Abigail gladly welcomes her into her home to live . After being complimented on her cooking , Abigail decides to open a cafe in Coal Valley . Together , Abigail and Elizabeth move into the rooms above the cafe . At the end of season 1 , Abigail enjoys the company of Bill Avery , a Mountie , serving as a Forensic Investigator and friend of Jack Thornton 's . In season 2 , Abigail takes in her daughter - in - law , Clara , the wife of her late son Peter whom Abigail sees as the daughter she never had . With Bill 's past being revealed , Abigail ends their friendship and spends more time with the new pastor , Frank Hogan . Also , she is a strong independent woman that is set on doing the things that are right and tries to help Elizabeth . Bill Avery is a mysterious , quiet man . He first appears in season 1 's `` Rules of Engagement , '' in order to help Jack expose Mr. Gowen 's wrongdoings . Bill is immediately attracted to widow Abigail Stanton . Things are going well until Abigail discovers a picture of Bill 's family and his wedding ring . He later tells her that his son died , as well as his wife . However , his wife , Nora , comes to confront him in season 2 's `` Heart 's Desire . '' Henry Gowen is a cold , cynical man who formerly owned the coal mine . After the mine was shut down , Henry became the mayor of Hope Valley and still creates a cold , cynical presence whenever people are around him . Henry is highly disliked and feared in the town . He frequently uses bribery to get what he wants , which is never for the good of the town . Rosemary `` Rosie '' LeVeaux Coulter is a flamboyant , enthusiastic actress from New York . She was briefly engaged to Jack Thornton , but they both realized that it would n't work out . Rosie immediately disliked Elizabeth and viewed her as `` the competition , '' but eventually came to really care about Elizabeth , even if she has a hard time showing it . At the beginning of season 2 , Rosemary began working at the cafe with Abigail and the two quickly became friends . Spending time with Abigail helped tone down some of Rosemary 's enthusiasm and made her a more likable person . Rosemary even came to like Elizabeth , even if only on an acquaintance level . Truthfully , she cares about everyone in Hope Valley , especially Lee , with whom she shares an mutual attraction . When Rosie is not spending time with Lee , talking to Abigail , or dreaming about the glamorous life of an actress , she can often be found somewhere writing her weekly advice column for Hope Valley 's newspaper ! In season 3 , Rosemary 's friendship with Elizabeth deepened . Instead of viewing her as an adversary , she finds a friend in Elizabeth . Throughout season 3 , Rosemary 's relationship with Lee becomes more romantic . In `` Heart Of A Hero , '' seeing that Lee needs to spend more time at the sawmill to help the new settlers find jobs , Rosemary tells Lee that the theatre does n't have to be built . He insists , but she says how important his job is . He smiles and tells her he will one day build her theatre , telling her that she is `` the best part of his life . '' The couple shares in their first kiss . In `` A Gentle Heart , '' Lee is injured . Thinking he is asleep , Rosemary pours out her heart to him , telling how much she loves him . In `` Heartbreak , '' Rosemary is offered a job in Hollywood filming . This has always been Rosemary 's dream , to be an actress . Lee unselfishly tells her to do whatever she feels best , but it is obvious that the thought of her leaving Hope Valley hurts him . Rosemary considers her options and realizes that her place is in Hope Valley , with Lee . Lee then tells her that he has another `` role '' that he thinks would be perfect for her and proposes marriage . She happily accepts . In `` Hearts In Question , '' Rosemary enthusiastically plans for their wedding . The couple weds in the season 3 finale `` Prayers From The Heart , '' with Elizabeth and Abigail as her maids of honor . Leland `` Lee '' Coulter is a kind , laidback , patient man who opens a sawmill in Hope Valley . When timber becomes Coal Valley 's major source of natural resources , the town is renamed Hope Valley . He shares a mutual attraction to Rosemary and proves to be one of the few people who can outwit her . When she declines his romantic intentions , Lee recruits his friend , Molly Sullivan , to make Rosemary jealous ; the ploy succeeds and Rosemary accepts his suit , appreciating Lee 's good qualities . Despite her dramatic and occasionally prickly personality , Lee 's compassion and patience never fails with her . With Rosemary 's help , Lee beat Mr. Gowen at his own game in `` Heart and Home . '' When not at work , Lee enjoys being with friends , including Jack Thornton , who shares Lee 's simple and laidback outlook , allowing the men to discuss their lives and exchange romantic advice . In season 3 , Lee 's mill is unfortunately sabotaged by a man inside . Through Bill and Jack 's investigation , they find the culprit . In season 3 's `` Heart Of A Hero , '' Rosemary unselfishly gives up the theatre that Lee promised to build her . Lee promises that one day , he will build her the theatre at a time when he is n't so involved with the sawmill and finding people jobs . In `` A Gentle Heart , '' Lee is injured . Thinking Lee is asleep , Rosemary pours out her heart to Lee , telling him how afraid she was when she heard he had been injured . He however hears each and every word . She told him how much she loves him and to never leave her . In the episode `` Heartbreak , '' Lee thinks Rosemary may leave Hope Valley when she is offered a movie job in Hollywood . When she gives up the movie , seeing her future in Hope Valley with him , he asks her to marry him . The couple weds in the season 3 finale , `` Prayers From The Heart . '' Jack serves the role of Lee 's best man . Julie Thatcher is Elizabeth 's hopeless romantic younger sister . She often gets herself into sticky situations by falling head over heels for men who are n't quite what they seem . In season 2 she gets involved with Jack 's brother Tom , which causes trouble with her family and for Jack and Elizabeth 's relationship . Cat Montgomery is a kind , encouraging woman in Coal Valley . She is a widow and mother of three : Gabe , Miles , and Emily . Cat was one of the first mothers to show kindness to Elizabeth when she first came . She desperately wants her children to remember the good memories of their father as seen by her self - sacrificing acts in `` Secrets and Lies . '' Possessing a great sense of teamwork and encouragement , Cat supports the women of Coal Valley while working in the mines in `` Cease and Desist . '' She is good friends with Elizabeth and Abigail . In `` These Games , '' she also helps Jack catch a thief . Florence Blakeley is a feisty gossip in Hope Valley . She often has a pessimistic perspective and always seems to find the negative , even in a very positive situation . In `` Heart and Home , '' Abigail told Florence what she really thought about her , which causes Florence to rein in her negativity somewhat , though she remains fairly outspoken . While not always likable , Florence adds spice to life in Hope Valley . Molly Sullivan is a friend of Lee Coulter and Elizabeth Thatcher . Molly 's husband was killed in the mine disaster . She has a daughter Rosaleen . In season 1 's `` A Telling Silence , '' Rosaleen has trouble in school because she misses her father so much . When she runs away , Elizabeth finds her in the mine , feeling guilty that she did n't bring her father his lunch the day of the disaster because she wanted to play with a friend instead . She fears her mother will blame her , but Elizabeth convinces her that Molly will `` say that she loves her more than life itself . '' Molly is reunited with her daughter , to the joy of the town 's people . In season 2 's `` With All My Heart , '' Lee feels it 's time to `` play hard to get '' with Rosemary , so he enlists help from Molly . She pretends to be interested in him romantically . This ploy works and Rosemary admits that she does in fact like him . Molly is a kind woman and was among the first to welcome Elizabeth to town . Clara Stanton is the wife of Abigail 's late son Peter , and is a sweet , quiet , and sensitive young woman . Abigail never knew she had a daughter - in - law until season 2 's `` Trials of the Heart ; '' with Peter having married Clara only three days before he was killed . In `` Heart 's Desire , '' Abigail invites Clara to come live with her in Hope Valley , an offer that Clara accepts . Charles Kensington III is an old friend of Elizabeth with whom she reconnects while in Hamilton . He is interested in her , though her feelings for Jack get in the way of their relationship .

About Wikipedia | rosemary's friend on when calls the heart | [
"Rosemary \"Rosie\" LeVeaux Coulter is a flamboyant, enthusiastic actress from New York. She was briefly engaged to Jack Thornton, but they both realized that it wouldn't work out. Rosie immediately disliked Elizabeth and viewed her as \"the competition,\" but eventually came to really care about Elizabeth, even if she has a hard time showing it. At the beginning of season 2, Rosemary began working at the cafe with Abigail and the two quickly became friends. Spending time with Abigail helped tone down some of Rosemary's enthusiasm and made her a more likable person. Rosemary even came to like Elizabeth, even if only on an acquaintance level. Truthfully, she cares about everyone in Hope Valley, especially Lee, with whom she shares an mutual attraction. When Rosie is not spending time with Lee, talking to Abigail, or dreaming about the glamorous life of an actress, she can often be found somewhere writing her weekly advice column for Hope Valley's newspaper! In season 3, Rosemary's friendship with Elizabeth deepened. Instead of viewing her as an adversary, she finds a friend in Elizabeth. Throughout season 3, Rosemary's relationship with Lee becomes more romantic. In \"Heart Of A Hero,\" seeing that Lee needs to spend more time at the sawmill to help the new settlers find jobs, Rosemary tells Lee that the theatre doesn't have to be built. He insists, but she says how important his job is. He smiles and tells her he will one day build her theatre, telling her that she is \"the best part of his life.\" The couple shares in their first kiss. In \"A Gentle Heart,\" Lee is injured. Thinking he is asleep, Rosemary pours out her heart to him, telling how much she loves him. In \"Heartbreak,\" Rosemary is offered a job in Hollywood filming. This has always been Rosemary's dream, to be an actress. Lee unselfishly tells her to do whatever she feels best, but it is obvious that the thought of her leaving Hope Valley hurts him. Rosemary considers her options and realizes that her place is in Hope Valley, with Lee. Lee then tells her that he has another \"role\" that he thinks would be perfect for her and proposes marriage. She happily accepts. In \"Hearts In Question,\" Rosemary enthusiastically plans for their wedding. The couple weds in the season 3 finale \"Prayers From The Heart,\" with Elizabeth and Abigail as her maids of honor."

The island 's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous centre dominated by the Cuillins , the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country . Although it has been suggested that the Gaelic Sgitheanach describes a winged shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name 's origins . The island has been occupied since the Mesolithic period , and its history includes a time of Norse rule and a long period of domination by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald . The 18th century Jacobite risings led to the breaking up of the clan system and subsequent Clearances that replaced entire communities with sheep farms , some of which also involved forced emigrations to distant lands . Resident numbers declined from over 20,000 in the early 19th century to just under 9,000 by the closing decade of the 20th century . Skye 's population increased by 4 per cent between 1991 and 2001 . About a third of the residents were Gaelic speakers in 2001 , and although their numbers are in decline , this aspect of island culture remains important . The main industries are tourism , agriculture , fishing and forestry . Skye is part of the Highland Council local government area . The island 's largest settlement is Portree , known for its picturesque harbour . There are links to various nearby islands by ferry and , since 1995 , to the mainland by a road bridge . The climate is mild , wet and windy . The abundant wildlife includes the golden eagle , red deer and Atlantic salmon . The local flora are dominated by heather moor , and there are nationally important invertebrate populations on the surrounding sea bed . Skye has provided the locations for various novels and feature films and is celebrated in poetry and song .

One possible derivation comes from skitis , an early Celtic word for winged , which may describe how the island 's peninsulas radiate out from a mountainous centre . Subsequent Gaelic - , Norse - and English - speaking peoples have influenced the history of Skye ; the relationships between their names for the island are not straightforward . Various etymologies have been proposed , such as the `` winged isle '' or `` the notched isle '' but no definitive solution has been found to date ; the place name may be from an earlier , non-Gaelic language . In the Norse sagas Skye is called Skíð , for example in the Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar and a skaldic poem in the Heimskringla from c. 1230 contains a line that translates as `` the hunger battle - birds were filled in Skye with blood of foemen killed '' . The island was also referred to by the Norse as Skuy ( misty isle ) , Skýey or Skuyö ( isle of cloud ) . The traditional Gaelic name is An t - Eilean Sgitheanach ( the island of Skye ) , An t - Eilean Sgiathanach being a more recent and less common spelling . In 1549 Donald Munro , High Dean of the Isles , wrote of `` Sky '' : `` This Ile is callit Ellan Skiannach in Irish , that is to say in Inglish the wyngit Ile , be reason it has mony wyngis and pointis lyand furth fra it , throw the dividing of thir foirsaid Lochis . '' but the meaning of this Gaelic name is unclear . Eilean a ' Cheò , which means island of the mist ( a translation of the Norse name ) , is a poetic Gaelic name for the island . Geography ( edit ) Further information : Geology of Skye Skye and the surrounding islands Bla Bheinn from Loch Slapin Waterfall on the River Rha between Staffin and Uig At 1,656 square kilometres ( 639 sq mi ) , Skye is the second - largest island in Scotland after Lewis and Harris . The coastline of Skye is a series of peninsulas and bays radiating out from a centre dominated by the Cuillin hills ( Gaelic : An Cuiltheann ) . Malcolm Slesser suggested that its shape `` sticks out of the west coast of northern Scotland like a lobster 's claw ready to snap at the fish bone of Harris and Lewis '' and W.H. Murray , commenting on its irregular coastline , stated that `` Skye is sixty miles ( 100 km ) long , but what might be its breadth is beyond the ingenuity of man to state '' . Martin Martin , a native of the island , reported on it at length in a 1703 publication . His geological observations included a note that : There are marcasites black and white , resembling silver ore , near the village Sartle : there are likewise in the same place several stones , which in bigness , shape , &c. , resemble nutmegs , and many rivulets here afford variegated stones of all colours . The Applesglen near Loch - Fallart has agate growing in it of different sizes and colours ; some are green on the outside , some are of a pale sky colour , and they all strike fire as well as flint : I have one of them by me , which for shape and bigness is proper for a sword handle . Stones of a purple colour flow down the rivulets here after great rains . -- Martin Martin , A Description of The Western Islands of Scotland . The vertical west face of the Bastier Tooth ( a top next to Am Basteir ) in the Cuillin , with Sgùrr nan Gillean in the background The Black Cuillin , which are mainly composed of basalt and gabbro , include twelve Munros and provide some of the most dramatic and challenging mountain terrain in Scotland . The ascent of Sgùrr a ' Ghreadaidh is one of the longest rock climbs in Britain and the Inaccessible Pinnacle is the only peak in Scotland that requires technical climbing skills to reach the summit . These hills make demands of the hill walker that exceed any others found in Scotland and a full traverse of the Cuillin ridge may take 15 -- 20 hours . The Red Hills ( Gaelic : Am Binnean Dearg ) to the south are also known as the Red Cuillin . They are mainly composed of granite that has weathered into more rounded hills with many long scree slopes on their flanks . The highest point of these hills is Glamaig , one of only two Corbetts on Skye . The northern peninsula of Trotternish is underlain by basalt , which provides relatively rich soils and a variety of unusual rock features . The Kilt Rock is named after the tartan - like patterns in the 105 metres ( 344 ft ) cliffs . The Quiraing is a spectacular series of rock pinnacles on the eastern side of the main spine of the peninsula and further south is the rock pillar of the Old Man of Storr . Beyond Loch Snizort to the west of Trotternish is the Waternish peninsula , which ends in Ardmore Point 's double rock arch . Duirinish is separated from Waternish by Loch Dunvegan , which contains the island of Isay . The loch is ringed by sea cliffs that reach 295 metres ( 967 ft ) at Waterstein Head . Oolitic loam provides good arable land in the main valley . Lochs Bracadale and Harport and the island of Wiay lie between Duirinish and Minginish , which includes the narrower defiles of Talisker and Glen Brittle and whose beaches are formed from black basaltic sands . Strathaird is a relatively small peninsula close to the Cuillin hills with only a few crofting communities , the island of Soay lies offshore . The bedrock of Sleat in the south is Torridonian sandstone , which produces poor soils and boggy ground , although its lower elevations and relatively sheltered eastern shores enable a lush growth of hedgerows and crops . The islands of Raasay , Rona , Scalpay and Pabay all lie to the north and east between Skye and the mainland . Towns and villages ( edit ) Kilmuir Snizort Duirinish Bracadale Portree Strath Sleat Small Isles Parish Portree , Skye 's largest settlement Portree in the north at the base of Trotternish is the largest settlement ( estimated population 2,264 in 2011 ) and is the main service centre on the island . Broadford , the location of the island 's only airstrip , is on the east side of the island and Dunvegan in the north - west is well known for its castle and the nearby Three Chimneys restaurant . The 18th - century Stein Inn on the Waternish coast is the oldest pub on Skye . Kyleakin is linked to Kyle of Lochalsh on the mainland by the Skye Bridge , which spans the narrows of Loch Alsh . Uig , the port for ferries to the Outer Hebrides , is on the west of the Trotternish peninsula and Edinbane is between Dunvegan and Portree . Much of the rest of the population lives in crofting townships scattered around the coastline . Climate ( edit ) The influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream create a mild oceanic climate . Temperatures are generally cool , averaging 6.5 ° C ( 43.7 ° F ) in January and 15.4 ° C ( 59.7 ° F ) in July at Duntulm in Trotternish . Snow seldom lies at sea level and frosts are less frequent than on the mainland . Winds are a limiting factor for vegetation . South - westerlies are the most common and speeds of 128 km / h ( 80 mph ) have been recorded . High winds are especially likely on the exposed coasts of Trotternish and Waternish . In common with most islands of the west coast of Scotland , rainfall is generally high at 1,500 -- 2,000 mm ( 59 -- 79 in ) per annum and the elevated Cuillin are wetter still . Variations can be considerable , with the north tending to be drier than the south . Broadford , for example , averages more than 2,870 mm ( 113 in ) of rain per annum . Trotternish typically has 200 hours of bright sunshine in May , the sunniest month . On 28 December 2015 , the temperature reached 15 ° C , beating the previous December record of 12.9 ° C , set in 2013 . On 9 May 2016 , a temperature of 26.7 ° C ( 80.1 ° F ) was recorded at Lusa in the south - east of the island . hide Climate data for Duntulm , Skye Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Year Record high ° C ( ° F ) 13.5 ( 56.3 ) 12.5 ( 54.5 ) 16.7 ( 62.1 ) 22.3 ( 72.1 ) 26.7 ( 80.1 ) 24.5 ( 76.1 ) 25.9 ( 78.6 ) 25.6 ( 78.1 ) 22.1 ( 71.8 ) 19.3 ( 66.7 ) 17.3 ( 63.1 ) 15.0 ( 59 ) 26.7 ( 80.1 ) Average high ° C ( ° F ) 6.5 ( 43.7 ) 6.6 ( 43.9 ) 8.1 ( 46.6 ) 9.6 ( 49.3 ) 12.4 ( 54.3 ) 14.3 ( 57.7 ) 15.4 ( 59.7 ) 15.7 ( 60.3 ) 14.2 ( 57.6 ) 11.5 ( 52.7 ) 9.1 ( 48.4 ) 7.6 ( 45.7 ) 10.9 ( 51.6 ) Average low ° C ( ° F ) 2.4 ( 36.3 ) 2.2 ( 36 ) 3.3 ( 37.9 ) 4.3 ( 39.7 ) 6.5 ( 43.7 ) 8.7 ( 47.7 ) 10.4 ( 50.7 ) 10.7 ( 51.3 ) 9.4 ( 48.9 ) 7.2 ( 45 ) 5.1 ( 41.2 ) 3.6 ( 38.5 ) 6.2 ( 43.2 ) Record low ° C ( ° F ) − 4.0 ( 24.8 ) − 3.5 ( 25.7 ) − 4.1 ( 24.6 ) − 3.4 ( 25.9 ) 0.0 ( 32 ) 4.2 ( 39.6 ) 5.2 ( 41.4 ) 4.7 ( 40.5 ) 2.6 ( 36.7 ) 0.3 ( 32.5 ) − 4.5 ( 23.9 ) − 6.5 ( 20.3 ) − 6.5 ( 20.3 ) Average precipitation mm ( inches ) 148.3 ( 5.84 ) 99.8 ( 3.93 ) 82.3 ( 3.24 ) 86.4 ( 3.40 ) 72.9 ( 2.87 ) 85.1 ( 3.35 ) 97.3 ( 3.83 ) 112 ( 4.41 ) 128.3 ( 5.05 ) 152.4 ( 6.00 ) 143 ( 5.63 ) 141.7 ( 5.58 ) 1,349.5 ( 53.13 ) Source # 1 : Cooper ( 1983 ) Source # 2 : Met office for May and December record high , bing weather History ( edit ) Prehistory ( edit ) A Mesolithic hunter - gatherer site dating to the 7th millennium BC at An Corran in Staffin is one of the oldest archaeological sites in Scotland . Its occupation is probably linked to that of the rock shelter at Sand , Applecross , on the mainland coast of Wester Ross where tools made of a mudstone from An Corran have been found . Surveys of the area between the two shores of the Inner Sound and Sound of Raasay have revealed 33 sites with potentially Mesolithic deposits . Finds of bloodstone microliths on the foreshore at Orbost on the west coast of the island near Dunvegan also suggest Mesolithic occupation . These tools probably originate from the nearby island of Rùm . The `` Viking canal '' at Rubha an Dùnain Rubha an Dùnain , an uninhabited peninsula to the south of the Cuillin , has a variety of archaeological sites dating from the Neolithic onwards . There is a 2nd or 3rd millennium BC chambered cairn , an Iron Age promontory fort and the remains of another prehistoric settlement dating from the Bronze Age nearby . Loch na h - Airde on the peninsula is linked to the sea by an artificial `` Viking '' canal that may date from the later period of Norse settlement . Dun Ringill is a ruined Iron Age hill fort on the Strathaird peninsula , which was further fortified in the Middle Ages and may have become the seat of Clan MacKinnon . Early history ( edit ) The late Iron Age inhabitants of the northern and western Hebrides were probably Pictish , although the historical record is sparse . Three Pictish symbol stones have been found on Skye and a fourth on Raasay . More is known of the kingdom of Dál Riata to the south ; Adomnán 's life of Columba , written shortly before 697 , portrays the saint visiting Skye ( where he baptised a pagan leader using an interpreter ) and Adomnán himself is thought to have been familiar with the island . The Irish annals record a number of events on Skye in the later 7th and early 8th centuries -- mainly concerning the struggles between rival dynasties that formed the background to the Old Irish language romance Scéla Cano meic Gartnáin . The Norse held sway throughout the Hebrides from the 9th century until after the Treaty of Perth in 1266 . However , apart from placenames , little remains of their presence on Skye in the written or archaeological record . Apart from the name `` Skye '' itself , all pre-Norse placenames seem to have been obliterated by the Scandinavian settlers . Viking heritage is claimed by Clan MacLeod and Norse tradition is celebrated in the winter fire festival at Dunvegan , during which a replica Viking long boat is set alight . Clans and Scottish rule ( edit ) The most powerful clans on Skye in the post -- Norse period were Clan MacLeod , originally based in Trotternish , and Clan Macdonald of Sleat . Following the disintegration of the Lordship of the Isles , the Mackinnons also emerged as an independent clan , whose substantial landholdings in Skye were centred on Strathaird . Clan MacNeacail also have a long association with Trotternish , and in the 16th century many of the MacInnes clan moved to Sleat . The MacDonalds of South Uist were bitter rivals of the MacLeods , and an attempt by the former to murder church - goers at Trumpan in retaliation for a previous massacre on Eigg , resulted in the Battle of the Spoiling Dyke of 1578 . Skye as shown on Blaeu 's 1654 Atlas of Scotland After the failure of the Jacobite rebellion of 1745 , Flora MacDonald became famous for rescuing Prince Charles Edward Stuart from the Hanoverian troops . Although she was born on South Uist her story is strongly associated with their escape via Skye and she is buried at Kilmuir in Trotternish . Samuel Johnson and James Boswell 's visit to Skye in 1773 and their meeting with Flora MacDonald in Kilmuir is recorded in Boswell 's The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides . Boswell wrote , `` To see Dr Samuel Johnson , the great champion of the English Tories , salute Miss Flora MacDonald in the isle of Sky , ( sic ) was a striking sight ; for though somewhat congenial in their notions , it was very improbable they should meet here '' . Johnson 's words that Flora MacDonald was `` A name that will be mentioned in history , and if courage and fidelity be virtues , mentioned with honour '' are written on her gravestone . After this rebellion the clan system was broken up and Skye became a series of landed estates . Of the island in general , Johnson observed : Dunvegan Castle , looking towards MacLeod 's Tables I never was in any house of the islands , where I did not find books in more languages than one , if I staid long enough to want them , except one from which the family was removed . Literature is not neglected by the higher rank of the Hebrideans . It need not , I suppose , be mentioned , that in countries so little frequented as the islands , there are no houses where travellers are entertained for money . He that wanders about these wilds , either procures recommendations to those whose habitations lie near his way , or , when night and weariness come upon him , takes the chance of general hospitality . If he finds only a cottage he can expect little more than shelter ; for the cottagers have little more for themselves but if his good fortune brings him to the residence of a gentleman , he will be glad of a storm to prolong his stay . There is , however , one inn by the sea - side at Sconsor , in Sky , where the post-office is kept . -- Samuel Johnson , A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland . Skye has a rich heritage of ancient monuments from this period . Dunvegan Castle has been the seat of Clan MacLeod since the 13th century . It contains the Fairy Flag and is reputed to have been inhabited by a single family for longer than any other house in Scotland . The 18th - century Armadale Castle , once home of Clan Donald of Sleat , was abandoned as a residence in 1925 but now hosts the Clan Donald Centre . Nearby are the ruins of two more MacDonald strongholds , Knock Castle , and Dunscaith Castle ( called `` Fortress of Shadows '' ) , the legendary home of warrior woman , martial arts instructor ( and , according to some sources , Queen ) Scáthach . Caisteal Maol , built in the late 15th century near Kyleakin and once a seat of Clan MacKinnon , is another ruin . Clearances ( edit ) Ruins in the cleared landscape of Tusdale , once so populous it was nicknamed `` the capital of Skye '' In the late 18th century the harvesting of kelp became a significant activity but from 1822 on cheap imports led to a collapse of this industry throughout the Hebrides . During the 19th century , the inhabitants of Skye were also devastated by famine and Clearances . Thirty thousand people were evicted between 1840 and 1880 alone , many of them forced to emigrate to the New World . For example , the settlement of Lorgill on the west coast of Duirinish was cleared on 4 August 1830 . Every crofter under the age of seventy was removed and placed on board the Midlothian on threat of imprisonment , with those over that age being sent to the poorhouse . The `` Battle of the Braes '' involved a demonstration against a lack of access to land and the serving of eviction notices . The incident involved numerous crofters and about 50 police officers . This event was instrumental in the creation of the Napier Commission , which reported in 1884 on the situation in the Highlands . Disturbances continued until the passing of the 1886 Crofters ' Act and on one occasion 400 marines were deployed on Skye to maintain order . The ruins of cleared villages can still be seen at Lorgill , Boreraig and Suisnish in Strath Swordale , and Tusdale on Minginish . Overview of population trends ( edit ) Year 1755 1794 1821 1841 1881 1891 1931 1951 1961 1971 1981 1991 2011 Population 11,252 14,470 20,827 23,082 16,889 15,705 9,908 8,537 7,479 7,183 7,276 8,847 9,232 10,008 As with many Scottish islands , Skye 's population peaked in the 19th century and then declined under the impact of the Clearances and the military losses in the First World War . From the 19th century until 1975 Skye was part of the county of Inverness - shire but the crofting economy languished and according to Slesser , `` Generations of UK governments have treated the island people contemptuously . '' a charge that has been levelled at both Labour and Conservative administrations ' policies in the Highlands and Islands . By 1971 the population was less than a third of its peak recorded figure in 1841 . However , the number of residents then grew by over 28 per cent in the thirty years to 2001 . The changing relationship between the residents and the land is evidenced by Robert Carruthers 's remark circa 1852 that , `` There is now a village in Portree containing three hundred inhabitants . '' Even if this estimate is inexact the population of the island 's largest settlement has probably increased sixfold or more since then . During the period the total number of island residents has declined by 50 per cent or more . The island - wide population increase of 4 per cent between 1991 and 2001 occurred against the background of an overall reduction in Scottish island populations of 3 per cent for the same period . By 2011 the population had risen a further 8.4 % to 10,008 with Scottish island populations as a whole growing by 4 % to 103,702 .

In both the 1901 and 1921 censuses , all Skye parishes were more than 75 per cent Gaelic - speaking . By 1971 , only Kilmuir parish had more than three quarters Gaelic speakers while the rest of Skye ranged between 50 and 74 per cent . At that time , Kilmuir was the only area outside the Western Isles that had such a high proportion of Gaelic speakers . In the 2001 census Kilmuir had just under half Gaelic speakers , and overall , Skye had 31 per cent , distributed unevenly . The strongest Gaelic areas were in the north and south - west of the island , including Staffin at 61 per cent . The weakest areas were in the west and east ( e.g. Luib 23 per cent and Kylerhea 19 per cent ) . Other areas on Skye ranged between 48 per cent and 25 per cent . Government and politics ( edit ) Charles Kennedy , Skye 's MP from 1983 to 2015 In terms of local government , from 1975 to 1996 , Skye , along with the neighbouring mainland area of Lochalsh , constituted a local government district within the Highland administrative area . In 1996 the district was included into the unitary Highland Council , ( Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd ) based in Inverness and formed one of the new council 's area committees . Following the 2007 elections , Skye now forms a four - member ward called Eilean a ' Cheò ; it is currently represented by two independents , one Scottish National Party , and one Liberal Democrat councillor . Skye is in the Highlands and Islands electoral region and comprises a part of the Skye , Lochaber and Badenoch constituency of the Scottish Parliament , which elects one member under the first past the post basis to represent it . Kate Forbes is the current MSP for the SNP . In addition , Skye forms part of the wider Ross , Skye and Lochaber constituency , which elects one member to the House of Commons in Westminster . The present MP Member of Parliament is Ian Blackford of the Scottish National Party , who took office after the SNP 's sweep in the General Election of 2015 . Prior to this , Charles Kennedy , a Liberal Democrat , had represented the area since the 1983 general election . Economy ( edit ) Caisteal Maol and fishing boats in Kyleakin harbour The largest employer on the island and its environs is the public sector , which accounts for about a third of the total workforce , principally in administration , education and health . The second largest employer in the area is the distribution , hotels and restaurants sector , highlighting the importance of tourism . Key attractions include Dunvegan Castle , the Clan Donald Visitor Centre , and The Aros Experience arts and exhibition centre in Portree . There are about a dozen large landowners on Skye , the largest being the public sector , with the Scottish Government owning most of the northern part of the island . Glendale is a community - owned estate in Duirinish and the Sleat Community Trust , the local development trust , is active in various regeneration projects . Small firms dominate employment in the private sector . The Talisker Distillery , which produces a single malt whisky , is beside Loch Harport on the west coast of the island . Three other whiskies -- Mac na Mara ( `` son of the sea '' ) , Tè Bheag nan Eilean ( `` wee dram of the isles '' ) and Poit Dhubh ( `` black pot '' ) -- are produced by blender Pràban na Linne ( `` smugglers den by the Sound of Sleat '' ) , based at Eilean Iarmain . These are marketed using predominantly Gaelic - language labels . The blended whisky branded as `` Isle of Skye '' is produced not on the island but by the Glengoyne Distillery at Killearn north of Glasgow , though the website of the owners , Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd. , boasts a `` high proportion of Island malts '' and contains advertisements for tourist businesses in the island . There is also an established software presence on Skye , with Portree - based Sitekit having expanded in recent years . Portree Kyleakin Uig A87 Armadale Sconser Talisker distillery Dunvegan Eilean Iarmain Some of the places important to the economy of Skye Crofting is still important , but although there are about 2,000 crofts on Skye only 100 or so are large enough to enable a crofter to earn a livelihood entirely from the land . Cod and herring stocks have declined but commercial fishing remains important , especially fish farming of salmon and shellfish such as scampi . The west coast of Scotland has a considerable renewable energy potential and the Isle of Skye Renewables Co-op has recently bought a stake in the Ben Aketil wind farm near Dunvegan . There is a thriving arts and crafts sector . The unemployment rate in the area tends to be higher than in the Highlands as a whole , and is seasonal in nature , in part due to the impact of tourism . The population is growing and in common with many other scenic rural areas in Scotland , significant increases are expected in the percentage of the population aged 45 to 64 years . Transport ( edit ) Skye is linked to the mainland by the Skye Bridge , while ferries sail from Armadale on the island to Mallaig , and from Kylerhea to Glenelg . Ferries also run from Uig to Tarbert on Harris and Lochmaddy on North Uist , and from Sconser to Raasay . The Skye Bridge , linking Kyle of Lochalsh to Skye The Skye Bridge opened in 1995 under a private finance initiative and the high tolls charged ( £ 5.70 each way for summer visitors ) met with widespread opposition , spearheaded by the pressure group SKAT ( Skye and Kyle Against Tolls ) . On 21 December 2004 it was announced that the Scottish Executive had purchased the bridge from its owners and the tolls were immediately removed . Bus services run to Inverness and Glasgow , and there are local services on the island , mainly starting from Portree or Broadford . Train services run from Kyle of Lochalsh at the mainland end of the Skye Bridge to Inverness , as well as from Glasgow to Mallaig from where the ferry can be caught to Armadale . The Isle of Skye Airfield at Ashaig , near Broadford , is used by private aircraft and occasionally by NHS Highland and the Scottish Ambulance Service for transferring patients to hospitals on the mainland . The A87 trunk road traverses the island from the Skye Bridge to Uig , linking most of the major settlements . Many of the island 's roads have been widened in the past forty years although there are still substantial sections of single track road . Culture , media and the arts ( edit ) The new college buildings , Sabhal Mòr Ostaig Students of Scottish Gaelic travel from all over the world to attend Sabhal Mòr Ostaig , the Scottish Gaelic college based near Kilmore in Sleat . In addition to members of the Church of Scotland and a smaller number of Roman Catholics many residents of Skye belong to the Free Church of Scotland , known for its strict observance of the Sabbath . Skye has a strong folk music tradition , although in recent years dance and rock music have been growing in popularity on the island . Gaelic folk rock band Runrig started in Skye and former singer Donnie Munro still works on the island . Runrig 's second single and a concert staple is entitled Skye , the lyrics being partly in English and partly in Gaelic and they have released other songs such as `` Nightfall on Marsco '' that were inspired by the island . Celtic fusion band the Peatbog Faeries are based on Skye . Jethro Tull singer Ian Anderson owned an estate at Strathaird on Skye at one time . Several Tull songs are written about Skye , including Dun Ringil , Broadford Bazaar , and Acres Wild ( which contains the lines `` Come with me to the Winged Isle , / Northern father 's western child ... '' in reference to the island itself ) . The Isle of Skye Music Festival featured sets from The Fun Lovin ' Criminals and Sparks , but collapsed in 2007 . Electronic musician Mylo was born on Skye . Loch Coruisk , Isle of Skye painted in 1874 by Sidney Richard Percy The poet Sorley MacLean , a native of the Isle of Raasay , which lies off the island 's east coast , lived much of his life on Skye . The island has been immortalised in the traditional song `` The Skye Boat Song '' and is the notional setting for the novel To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf , although the Skye of the novel bears little relation to the real island . John Buchan 's descriptions of Skye , as featured in his Richard Hannay novel Mr Standfast , are more true to life . I Diari di Rubha Hunis is a 2004 Italian language work of non-fiction by Davide Sapienza . The international bestseller , The Ice Twins , by SK Tremayne , published around the world in 2015 -- 2016 , is set in southern Skye , especially around the settlement and islands of Isleornsay . Rock pinnacles of The Storr , which feature in some of the opening scenes in the film Prometheus Skye has been used as a location for a number of feature films . The Ashaig aerodrome was used for the opening scenes of the 1980 film Flash Gordon . Stardust , released in 2007 and starring Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer , featured scenes near Uig , Loch Coruisk and the Quiraing . Another 2007 film , Seachd : The Inaccessible Pinnacle , was shot almost entirely in various locations on the island . Some of the opening scenes in Ridley Scott 's 2012 feature film Prometheus were shot and set at the Old Man of Storr . In 1973 The Highlands and Islands - a Royal Tour , a documentary about Prince Charles 's visit to the Highlands and Islands , directed by Oscar Marzaroli , was shot partly on Skye . The West Highland Free Press is published at Broadford . This weekly newspaper takes as its motto An Tìr , an Cànan ' s na Daoine ( `` The Land , the Language and the People '' ) , which reflects its radical , campaigning priorities . The Free Press was founded in 1972 and circulates in Skye , Wester Ross and the Outer Hebrides . Shinty is a popular sport played throughout the island and Portree - based Skye Camanachd won the Camanachd Cup in 1990 . Wildlife ( edit ) The Hebrides generally lack the biodiversity of mainland Britain , but like most of the larger islands , Skye still has a wide variety of species . Observing the abundance of game birds Martin wrote : There is plenty of land and water fowl in this isle -- as hawks , eagles of two kinds ( the one grey and of a larger size , the other much less and black , but more destructive to young cattle ) , black cock , heath - hen , plovers , pigeons , wild geese , ptarmigan , and cranes . Of this latter sort I have seen sixty on the shore in a flock together . The sea fowls are malls of all kinds -- coulterneb , guillemot , sea cormorant , &c . The natives observe that the latter , if perfectly black , makes no good broth , nor is its flesh worth eating ; but that a cormorant , which hath any white feathers or down , makes good broth , and the flesh of it is good food ; and the broth is usually drunk by nurses to increase their milk . -- Martin Martin , A Description of The Western Islands of Scotland . Similarly , Samuel Johnson noted that : At the tables where a stranger is received , neither plenty nor delicacy is wanting . A tract of land so thinly inhabited , must have much wild - fowl ; and I scarcely remember to have seen a dinner without them . The moor - game is every where to be had . That the sea abounds with fish , needs not be told , for it supplies a great part of Europe . The Isle of Sky has stags and roebucks , but no hares . They sell very numerous droves of oxen yearly to England , and therefore can not be supposed to want beef at home . Sheep and goats are in great numbers , and they have the common domestic fowls . '' -- Samuel Johnson , A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland . The black guillemot or tystie ( Cepphus grylle ) In the modern era avian life includes the corncrake , red - throated diver , kittiwake , tystie , Atlantic puffin , goldeneye and golden eagle . The eggs of the last breeding pair of white - tailed sea eagle in the UK were taken by an egg collector on Skye in 1916 but the species has recently been re-introduced . The chough last bred on the island in 1900 . Mountain hare ( apparently absent in the 18th century ) and rabbit are now abundant and preyed upon by wild cat and pine marten . The rich fresh water streams contain brown trout , Atlantic salmon and water shrew . Offshore the edible crab and edible oyster are also found , the latter especially in the Sound of Scalpay . There are nationally important horse mussel and brittlestar beds in the sea lochs and in 2012 a bed of 100 million flame shells was found during a survey of Loch Alsh . Grey Seals can be seen off the Southern coast . Heather moor containing ling , bell heather , cross-leaved heath , bog myrtle and fescues is everywhere abundant . The high Black Cuillins weather too slowly to produce a soil that sustains a rich plant life , but each of the main peninsulas has an individual flora . The basalt underpinnings of Trotternish produce a diversity of Arctic and alpine plants including alpine pearlwort and mossy cyphal . The low - lying fields of Waternish contain corn marigold and corn spurry . The sea cliffs of Duirinish boast mountain avens and fir clubmoss . Minginish produces fairy flax , cats - ear and black bog rush . There is a fine example of Brachypodium - rich ash woodland at Tokavaig in Sleat incorporating silver birch , hazel , bird cherry , and hawthorn . The local Biodiversity Action Plan recommends land management measures to control the spread of ragwort and bracken and identifies four non-native , invasive species as threatening native biodiversity : Japanese knotweed , rhododendron , New Zealand flatworm and mink . It also identifies problems of over-grazing resulting in the impoverishment of moorland and upland habitats and a loss of native woodland , caused by the large numbers of red deer and sheep .

( Cheers ) . '' Sir Charles Cameron ( 1886 ) . `` Nationalist MPs and crofters , frustrated by the failure of Westminster politicians to bring Scotland into line with England and other European nations by abolishing feudal structures and regulating land use , are drawing up plans to limit foreign land ownership and introduce environmental codes for all estates .

"Portree in the north at the base of Trotternish is the largest settlement (estimated population 2,264 in 2011)[34] and is the main service centre on the island. Broadford, the location of the island's only airstrip, is on the east side of the island and Dunvegan in the north-west is well known for its castle and the nearby Three Chimneys restaurant. The 18th-century Stein Inn on the Waternish coast is the oldest pub on Skye.[35] Kyleakin is linked to Kyle of Lochalsh on the mainland by the Skye Bridge, which spans the narrows of Loch Alsh. Uig, the port for ferries to the Outer Hebrides, is on the west of the Trotternish peninsula and Edinbane is between Dunvegan and Portree.[16] Much of the rest of the population lives in crofting townships scattered around the coastline.[36]"

During a night - time raid in the Pakistani mountains , the SEALs attempt to infiltrate a bunker stronghold during the middle of a firefight between Abad and Nouri 's men , and learn that Abad had rigged the bunker to explode upon being breached . The SEALs use Nouri 's men to detonate the trap in the following morning , and unsuccessfully attempt to capture Abad , killing him .

With the aid of Davis and Mandy , Jason finds a buried external harddrive hidden by Echo Team leader Steve Porter containing evidence of Xeon 's mining operations .

A page from a skin manuscript of Landnámabók , a primary source on the settlement of Iceland , preserved in the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies in Reykjavík The settlement of Iceland ( Icelandic : landnámsöld ) is generally believed to have begun in the second half of the ninth century , when Norse settlers migrated across the North Atlantic . The reasons for the migration are uncertain : later in the Middle Ages Icelanders themselves tended to cite civil strife brought about by the ambitions of the Norwegian king Harald I of Norway , but modern historians focus on deeper factors , such as a shortage of arable land in Scandinavia . Unlike Britain and Ireland , Iceland was unsettled land and could be claimed without conflict with existing inhabitants . On the basis of Íslendingabók by Ari Þorgilsson , and Landnámabók , histories dating from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and providing a wealth of detail about the settlement , the years 870 and 874 have traditionally been considered the first years of settlement . However , these sources are largely unreliable in the details they provide about the settlement , and recent research focuses more heavily on archaeological and genetic evidence . Traditionally , the Icelandic Age of Settlement is considered to have lasted from 874 to 930 , at which point most of the island had been claimed and Alþingi ( Althingi ) , the assembly of the Icelandic Commonwealth , was founded at Þingvellir ( Thingvellir ) . Contents 1 History of settlement 1.1 Pre-Norse settlement 1.2 Norse settlement 1.3 Age of settlement ends 2 First Norse explorers and settlers according to the written sources 2.1 Naddoddr and Garðar 2.2 Hrafna - Flóki 2.3 Ingólfur Arnarson 3 Environmental effects of settlement 4 See also 5 References 6 Further reading History of settlement ( edit ) Pre-norse settlement ( edit ) Main article : Papar Controversial results of recent carbon dating work , published in the journal Skírnir , suggest that Iceland may have been settled as early as the second half of the seventh century . The Íslendingabók of Ari Thorgilsson claims that the Norse settlers encountered Gaelic monks from a Hiberno - Scottish mission when they arrived in Iceland . There is some archaeological evidence for a monastic settlement from Ireland at Kverkarhellir cave , on the Seljaland farm in southern Iceland . Sediment deposits indicate people lived there around 800 , and crosses consistent with the Hiberno - Scottish style were carved in the wall of a nearby cave . The oldest known source which mentions the name `` Iceland '' is an 11th - century rune carving from Gotland , while the oldest archeological finds indicating settlement date back to the 9th century . There is a possible early mention of Iceland in the book De mensura orbis terrae by the Irish monk Dicuil , dating to 825 . Dicuil claimed to have met some monks who had lived on the island of Thule . They said that darkness reigned during winter but that the summers were bright enough to pick lice from one 's clothing , but the veracity of this source may be questioned . Additionally , Iceland is only about 450 kilometres from the Faroes , which had been visited by Irish monks in the 6th century , and settled by the Norse around 650 . A cabin in Hafnir was abandoned between 770 and 880 , showing that it was built well before the traditional settlement date of 874 . It is thought to have been an outpost only inhabited part of the year , but it is not known whether it was built by people from Scandinavia , Ireland or Scotland . Norse settlement ( edit ) Written sources consider the age of settlement in Iceland to have begun with settlement by Ingólfur Arnason around 874 , for he was the first to sail to Iceland with the purpose of settling the land . Archaeological evidence shows that extensive human settlement of the island indeed began at this time , and `` that the whole country was occupied within a couple of decades towards the end of the 9th century . '' Estimates of the number of people who migrated to the country during the Age of Settlement range between 4,300 and 24,000 , with estimates of the number of initial settlers ranging between 311 and 436 . While the written sources emphasise settlement from Norway , genetic evidence shows that the founder population of Iceland came from Ireland , Scotland , and Scandinavia : studies of mitochondrial DNA and Y - chromosomes indicate that 62 % of Icelanders ' matrilineal ancestry derives from Scotland and Ireland ( with most of the rest being from Scandinavia ) , while 75 % of their patrilineal ancestry derives from Scandinavia ( with most of the rest being from the Irish and British Isles ) . Archaeogenetic evidence suggests that the actual founding population included a higher proportion again of settlers from the Irish and British Isles : one study found that the mean Norse ancestry among Iceland 's settlers was 56 % , whereas in the current population the figure was 70 % . It is thought likely that most of the settlers from Ireland and Scotland came as slaves , and therefore reproduced less successfully than higher - status settlers from Scandinavia , making them ancestors of a smaller proportion of the modern population . A number of reasons have been offered for the settlement of Iceland : Available land would have been attractive to Viking Age Scandinavians , especially given the relatively warm climate in Iceland at the time . The observation of valuable resources , such as walrus ivory , made Iceland attractive to those looking to profit on trade . Greater resistance to Viking incursions in the British isles and continental Europe in the late ninth century pushed Vikings to seek more peaceful opportunities . Medieval written sources emphasize how Harald Finehair 's centralization of Norway and imposition of burdensome taxes on farmers encouraged farmers to migrate to Iceland . The notion that population pressure drove migration to Iceland remains unsupported in the academic literature . Written sources say some settlers took land freely , others bought lands from earlier settlers , some were gifted land by earlier settlers , and that some settlers took lands from others through the use of force or threat of force . Lands were likely not rented during the Age of settlement . Medievalist Hans Kuhn argued that lands were given away or taken freely because earlier settlers had no need for such extensive lands . Historian Gunnar Karlsson notes that it could be rational for earlier settlers to encourage new settlers to settle lands nearby so as to ease maintenance of cattle and slaves , and as insurance in times of crisis . Age of settlement ends ( edit ) 19th - century depiction of a session of Alþingi Ari Thorgilsson claims in Íslendingabók that the country had been `` fully settled '' by 930 . Correspondingly , Landnámabók suggests that within about sixty years , all the usable land had been taken ; it mentions 1,500 farm and place names , and more than 3,500 people , arranged in a geographical fashion . In the periodisation of Icelandic history , therefore , the age of settlement is considered to have ended in the year 930 with the establishment of Alþingi ; at this point the Icelandic Commonwealth period is considered to begin . Archeological evidence shows , however , `` that immigrants continued to arrive in Iceland throughout the 10th century '' . The authors of one study speculate that `` continued immigration may have been needed to sustain the population '' . First Norse explorers and settlers according to the written sources ( edit ) Naddoddr and Garðar ( edit ) Landnámabók claims that the first Norseman to rest his feet on Icelandic soil was a viking by the name of Naddoddr . Naddoddr stayed for only a short period of time , but gave the country a name : Snæland ( Land of Snow ) . He was followed by the Swede Garðar Svavarsson , who was the first to stay over winter . At some time around 860 , a storm pushed his ship far to the north until he reached the eastern coast of Iceland . Garðar approached the island from the east , sailed westward along the coast and then up north , building a house in Húsavík . He completed a full circle , circumnavigating the island and establishing that the landmass in question was indeed an island . He departed the following summer , never to return but not before giving the island a new name -- Garðarshólmur ( literally , Garðar 's Island ) . One of his men , Náttfari , decided to stay behind with two slaves . Náttfari settled in what is now known as Náttfaravík , close to Skjálfandi . Landnámabók maintains that Náttfari was not a permanent settler . Hrafna - Flóki ( edit ) `` There was a man by the name Flóki Vilgerðarson . He was a great Viking . He left to find Garðarshólmur . '' -- Landnámabók The second Norseman to arrive in Iceland was named Flóki Vilgerðarson , but the year of his arrival is not clear . According to the story told in Landnámabók , he took three ravens to help him find his way . Thus , he was nicknamed Raven - Flóki ( Icelandic : Hrafna - Flóki ) . Flóki set his ravens free near the Faroe Islands . The first raven flew back to the Faroes . The second flew up in the air and then returned to the ship . However , the third flew in front of the ship and they followed its direction to Iceland . He landed in Vatnsfjörður in the Westfjords after passing what is now Reykjavík . One of his men , Faxi , remarked that they seemed to have found great land -- the bay facing Reykjavík is therefore known as Faxaflói . A harsh winter caused all of Flóki 's cattle to die -- he cursed this cold country , and when he spotted a drift ice in the fjord he decided to name it `` Ísland '' ( Iceland ) . Despite difficulties in finding food , he and his men stayed another year , this time in Borgarfjörður , but they headed back to Norway the following summer . Flóki would return much later and settle in what is now known as Flókadalur . A map indicating the travels of the first Scandinavians in Iceland during the 9th century Ingólfur Arnarson ( edit ) Ingólfr commands his high - seat pillars to be erected in this painting by Johan Peter Raadsig . `` There was a man of the North ( Norway ) , Ingólfr , who is truly said to be the first to leave it for Iceland , in the time when Haraldr the Fair - Haired was sixteen winters of age ( ... ) , he settled south in Reykjavík . '' -- Íslendingabók Another Norseman , by the name of Ingólfur Arnarson , had instigated a blood feud in his homeland , Norway . He and his foster - brother Hjörleifur went on an exploratory expedition to Iceland , and stayed over winter in what is now Álftafjörður . A few years later they returned to settle the land with their men . When they approached the island , Ingólfur cast his high seat pillars overboard and swore that he would settle where they drifted to shore . He then sent his slaves Vífill and Karli to search for the pillars . They found his foster - brother Hjörleifur murdered , and all his men gone . Ingólfur gave his foster - brother a heathen funeral in the Norse style and slew the murderers , who had fled to the Westman Islands . As winter approached , Ingólfur 's slaves found the pillars by Arnarhvol . When summer came , he built a farmstead in Reykjavík and claimed all the land west of the rivers of Ölfusá , Öxará and Brynjudalsá . His slave Karli did not care for the location , and said to Ingólfur : `` How ill that we should pass good land , to settle in this remote peninsula . '' Environmental effects of settlement ( edit ) Eyjafjallajökull glacier Scholars have argued that the settlers caused soil erosion through extensive deforestation and overgrazing . One study suggests that the primary motive for the deforestation was `` clearance for pastures and home - fields '' , not the `` settlers ' requirements for fuel and building material '' .

He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios in 1928 . An anthropomorphic mouse who typically wears red shorts , large yellow shoes , and white gloves , Mickey is one of the world 's most recognizable characters . Mickey first appeared in the short Plane Crazy , debuting publicly in the short film Steamboat Willie ( 1928 ) , one of the first sound cartoons . He went on to appear in over 130 films , including The Band Concert ( 1935 ) , Brave Little Tailor ( 1938 ) , and Fantasia ( 1940 ) . Mickey appeared primarily in short films , but also occasionally in feature - length films . Ten of Mickey 's cartoons were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film , one of which , Lend a Paw , won the award in 1942 . In 1978 , Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . Beginning in 1930 , Mickey has also been featured extensively as a comic strip character . His self - titled newspaper strip , drawn primarily by Floyd Gottfredson , ran for 45 years . Mickey has also appeared in comic books such as Disney Italy 's Topolino , MM Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine , and Wizards of Mickey , and in television series such as The Mickey Mouse Club ( 1955 -- 1996 ) and others . He also appears in other media such as video games as well as merchandising and is a meetable character at the Disney parks . Mickey generally appears alongside his girlfriend Minnie Mouse , his pet dog Pluto , his friends Donald Duck and Goofy , and his nemesis Pete , among others ( see Mickey Mouse universe ) . Though originally characterized as a mischievous antihero , Mickey was rebranded over time as an everyman , usually seen as a flawed , but adventurous hero . In 2009 , Disney began to rebrand the character again by putting less emphasis on his pleasant , cheerful side and reintroducing the more mischievous and adventurous sides of his personality , beginning with the video game Epic Mickey .

'' -- Walt Disney , Disneyland ; October 27 , 1954 Mickey Mouse was created as a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit , an earlier cartoon character created by the Disney studio for Charles Mintz , a film producer who distributed product through Universal Studios . In the spring of 1928 , with the series going strong , Disney asked Mintz for an increase in the budget . But Mintz instead demanded that Walt take a 20 percent budget cut , and as leverage , he reminded Disney that Universal owned the character , and revealed that he had already signed most of Disney 's current employees to his new contract . Angrily , Disney refused the deal and returned to produce the final Oswald cartoons he contractually owed Mintz . Disney was dismayed at the betrayal by his staff but determined to restart from scratch . The new Disney Studio initially consisted of animator Ub Iwerks and a loyal apprentice artist , Les Clark , who together with Wilfred Jackson were among the few who remained loyal to Walt . One lesson Disney learned from the experience was to thereafter always make sure that he owned all rights to the characters produced by his company . In the spring of 1928 , Disney asked Ub Iwerks to start drawing up new character ideas . Iwerks tried sketches of various animals , such as dogs and cats , but none of these appealed to Disney . A female cow and male horse were also rejected . They would later turn up as Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar . A male frog was also rejected . It would later show up in Iwerks ' own Flip the Frog series . Walt Disney got the inspiration for Mickey Mouse from a tame mouse at his desk at Laugh - O - Gram Studio in Kansas City , Missouri . In 1925 , Hugh Harman drew some sketches of mice around a photograph of Walt Disney . These inspired Ub Iwerks to create a new mouse character for Disney . `` Mortimer Mouse '' had been Disney 's original name for the character before his wife , Lillian , convinced him to change it , and ultimately Mickey Mouse came to be . The actor Mickey Rooney claimed that , during his Mickey McGuire days , he met cartoonist Walt Disney at the Warner Brothers studio , and that Disney was inspired to name Mickey Mouse after him . This claim , however , has been debunked by Disney historian Jim Korkis , since at the time of Mickey Mouse 's development , Disney Studios had been located on Hyperion Avenue for several years , and Walt Disney never kept an office or other working space at Warner Brothers , having no professional relationship with Warner Brothers , as the Alice Comedies and Oswald cartoons were distributed by Universal .

( May 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The silhouette of Mickey Mouse 's head has become an iconic image Throughout the earlier years , Mickey 's design bore heavy resemblance to Oswald , save for the ears , nose , and tail . Ub Iwerks designed Mickey 's body out of circles in order to make the character simple to animate . Disney employees John Hench and Marc Davis believed that this design was part of Mickey 's success as it made him more dynamic and appealing to audiences . Mickey 's circular design is most noticeable in his ears . In animation in the 1940s , Mickey 's ears were animated in a more realistic perspective . Later , they were drawn to always appear circular no matter which way Mickey was facing . This made Mickey easily recognizable to audiences and made his ears an unofficial personal trademark . The circular rule later created a dilemma for toy creators who had to recreate a three - dimensional Mickey . In 1938 , animator Fred Moore redesigned Mickey 's body away from its circular design to a pear - shaped design . Colleague Ward Kimball praised Moore for being the first animator to break from Mickey 's `` rubber hose , round circle '' design . Although Moore himself was nervous at first about changing Mickey , Walt Disney liked the new design and told Moore `` that 's the way I want Mickey to be drawn from now on . '' Each of Mickey 's hands has only three fingers and a thumb . Disney said that this was both an artistic and financial decision , explaining `` Artistically five digits are too many for a mouse . His hand would look like a bunch of bananas . Financially , not having an extra finger in each of 45,000 drawings that make up a six and one - half minute short has saved the Studio millions . '' In the film The Opry House ( 1929 ) , Mickey was first given white gloves as a way of contrasting his naturally black hands against his black body . The use of white gloves would prove to be an influential design for cartoon characters , particularly with later Disney characters , but also with non-Disney characters such as Bugs Bunny , Woody Woodpecker , Mighty Mouse , and Mario . Mickey 's eyes , as drawn in Plane Crazy and The Gallopin ' Gaucho , were large and white with black outlines . In Steamboat Willie , the bottom portion of the black outlines was removed , although the upper edges still contrasted with his head . Mickey 's eyes were later re-imagined as only consisting of the small black dots which were originally his pupils , while what were the upper edges of his eyes became a hairline . This is evident only when Mickey blinks . Fred Moore later redesigned the eyes to be small white eyes with pupils and gave his face a Caucasian skin tone instead of plain white . This new Mickey first appeared in 1938 on the cover of a party program , and in animation the following year with the release of The Pointer . Mickey is sometimes given eyebrows as seen in The Simple Things ( 1953 ) and in the comic strip , although he does not have eyebrows in his most recent appearances . Some of Mickey 's early appearance , particularly the gloves , and facial characteristics , evolved from blackface caricatures used in minstrel shows . Besides Mickey 's gloves and shoes , he typically wears only a pair of shorts with two large buttons in the front . Before Mickey was seen regularly in color animation , Mickey 's shorts were either red or a dull blue - green . With the advent of Mickey 's color films , the shorts were always red . When Mickey is not wearing his red shorts , he is often still wearing red clothing such as a red bandmaster coat ( The Band Concert , The Mickey Mouse Club ) , red overalls ( Clock Cleaners , Boat Builders ) , a red cloak ( Fantasia , Fun and Fancy Free ) , a red coat ( Squatter 's Rights , Mickey 's Christmas Carol ) , or a red shirt ( Mickey Down Under , The Simple Things ) . Animation History See also : Mickey Mouse film series Debut ( 1928 ) Mickey 's first appearance in Steamboat Willie ( 1928 ) . Disney had Ub Iwerks secretly begin animating a new cartoon while still under contract with Universal . The cartoon was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks . Iwerks was the main animator for the short and reportedly spent six weeks working on it . In fact , Iwerks was the main animator for every Disney short released in 1928 and 1929 . Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising also assisted Disney during those years . They had already signed their contracts with Charles Mintz , but he was still in the process of forming his new studio and so for the time being they were still employed by Disney . This short would be the last they animated under this somewhat awkward situation . Mickey was first seen in a test screening of the cartoon short Plane Crazy , on May 15 , 1928 , but it failed to impress the audience and to add insult to injury , Walt could not find a distributor . Though understandably disappointed , Walt went on to produce a second Mickey short , The Gallopin ' Gaucho , which was also not released for lack of a distributor . Steamboat Willie was first released on November 18 , 1928 , in New York . It was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks . Iwerks again served as the head animator , assisted by Johnny Cannon , Les Clark , Wilfred Jackson and Dick Lundy . This short was intended as a parody of Buster Keaton 's Steamboat Bill , Jr. , first released on May 12 of the same year . Although it was the third Mickey cartoon produced , it was the first to find a distributor , and thus is considered by The Disney Company as Mickey 's debut . Willie featured changes to Mickey 's appearance ( in particular , simplifying his eyes to large dots ) that established his look for later cartoons and in numerous Walt Disney films . The cartoon was not the first cartoon to feature a soundtrack connected to the action . Fleischer Studios , headed by brothers Dave and Max Fleischer , had already released a number of sound cartoons using the DeForest system in the mid-1920s . However , these cartoons did not keep the sound synchronized throughout the film . For Willie , Disney had the sound recorded with a click track that kept the musicians on the beat . This precise timing is apparent during the `` Turkey in the Straw '' sequence when Mickey 's actions exactly match the accompanying instruments . Animation historians have long debated who had served as the composer for the film 's original music . This role has been variously attributed to Wilfred Jackson , Carl Stalling and Bert Lewis , but identification remains uncertain . Walt Disney himself was voice actor for both Mickey and Minnie and would remain the source of Mickey 's voice through 1946 for theatrical cartoons . Jimmy MacDonald took over the role in 1946 , but Walt provided Mickey 's voice again from 1955 to 1959 for The Mickey Mouse Club television series on ABC . Audiences at the time of Steamboat Willie 's release were reportedly impressed by the use of sound for comedic purposes . Sound films or `` talkies '' were still considered innovative . The first feature - length movie with dialogue sequences , The Jazz Singer starring Al Jolson , was released on October 6 , 1927 . Within a year of its success , most United States movie theaters had installed sound film equipment . Walt Disney apparently intended to take advantage of this new trend and , arguably , managed to succeed . Most other cartoon studios were still producing silent products and so were unable to effectively act as competition to Disney . As a result , Mickey would soon become the most prominent animated character of the time . Walt Disney soon worked on adding sound to both Plane Crazy and The Gallopin ' Gaucho ( which had originally been silent releases ) and their new release added to Mickey 's success and popularity . A fourth Mickey short , The Barn Dance , was also put into production ; however , Mickey does not actually speak until The Karnival Kid in 1929 when his first spoken words were `` Hot dogs , Hot dogs ! '' After Steamboat Willie was released , Mickey became a close competitor to Felix the Cat , and his popularity would grow as he was continuously featured in sound cartoons . By 1929 , Felix would lose popularity among theater audiences , and Pat Sullivan decided to produce all future Felix cartoons in sound as a result . Unfortunately , audiences did not respond well to Felix 's transition to sound and by 1930 , Felix had faded from the screen . Black and white films ( 1929 -- 1935 ) Mickey with Minnie Mouse in Building a Building ( 1933 ) . In Mickey 's early films he was often characterized not as a hero , but as an ineffective young suitor to Minnie Mouse . The Barn Dance ( March 14 , 1929 ) is the first time in which Mickey is turned down by Minnie in favor of Pete . The Opry House ( March 28 , 1929 ) was the first time in which Mickey wore his white gloves . Mickey wears them in almost all of his subsequent appearances and many other characters followed suit . The three lines on the back of Mickey 's gloves represent darts in the gloves ' fabric extending from between the digits of the hand , typical of glove design of the era . When the Cat 's Away ( April 18 , 1929 ) , essentially a remake of the Alice Comedy , `` Alice Rattled by Rats '' , was an unusual appearance for Mickey . Although Mickey and Minnie still maintained their anthropomorphic characteristics , they were depicted as the size of regular mice and living with a community many other mice as pests in a home . Mickey and Minnie would later appear the size of regular humans in their own setting . In appearances with real humans , Mickey has been shown to be about two to three feet high . The next Mickey short was also unusual . The Barnyard Battle ( April 25 , 1929 ) was the only film to depict Mickey as a soldier and also the first to place him in combat . The Karnival Kid ( 1929 ) was the first time Mickey spoke . Before this he had only whistled , laughed , and grunted . His first words were `` Hot dogs ! Hot dogs ! '' said while trying to sell hot dogs at a carnival . Mickey 's Follies ( 1929 ) introduced the song `` Minnie 's Yoo - Hoo '' which would become the theme song for Mickey Mouse films for the next several years . The `` Minnie 's Yoo - Hoo '' song sequence was also later reused with different background animation as its own special short shown only at the commencement of 1930s theater - based Mickey Mouse Clubs . Mickey 's dog Pluto first appeared as Mickey 's pet in The Moose Hunt ( 1931 ) after previously appearing as Minnie 's dog `` Rover '' in The Picnic ( 1930 ) . The Cactus Kid ( April 11 , 1930 ) was the last film to be animated by Ub Iwerks at Disney . Shortly before the release of the film , Iwerks left to start his own studio , bankrolled by Disney 's then - distributor Pat Powers . Powers and Disney had a falling out over money due Disney from the distribution deal . It was in response to losing the right to distribute Disney 's cartoons that Powers made the deal with Iwerks , who had long harbored a desire to head his own studio . The departure is considered a turning point in Mickey 's career , as well as that of Walt Disney . Walt lost the man who served as his closest colleague and confidant since 1919 . Mickey lost the man responsible for his original design and for the direction or animation of several of the shorts released till this point . Advertising for the early Mickey Mouse cartoons credited them as `` A Walt Disney Comic , drawn by Ub Iwerks '' . Later Disney Company reissues of the early cartoons tend to credit Walt Disney alone . Disney and his remaining staff continued the production of the Mickey series , and he was able to eventually find a number of animators to replace Iwerks . As the Great Depression progressed and Felix the Cat faded from the movie screen , Mickey 's popularity would rise , and by 1932 The Mickey Mouse Club would have one million members . At the 5th Academy Awards in 1932 , Mickey received his first Academy Award nomination , received for Mickey 's Orphans ( 1931 ) . Walt Disney also received an honorary Academy Award for the creation of Mickey Mouse . Despite being eclipsed by the Silly Symphonies short the Three Little Pigs in 1933 , Mickey still maintained great popularity among theater audiences too , until 1935 , when polls showed that Popeye was more popular than Mickey . By 1934 , Mickey merchandise had earned $600,000.00 a year . In 1935 , Disney began to phase out the Mickey Mouse Clubs , due to administration problems . About this time , story artists at Disney were finding it increasingly difficult to write material for Mickey . As he had developed into a role model for children , they were limited in the types of gags they could make . This led to Mickey taking more of a secondary role in some of his next films allowing for more emphasis on other characters . In Orphan 's Benefit ( August 11 , 1934 ) Mickey first appeared with Donald Duck who had been introduced earlier that year in the Silly Symphonies series . The tempestuous duck would provide Disney with seemingly endless story ideas and would remain a recurring character in Mickey 's cartoons . Color films ( 1935 -- 1953 ) Mickey in The Band Concert ( 1935 ) . Mickey first appeared animated in color in Parade of the Award Nominees in 1932 , however , the film strip was created for the 5th Academy Awards ceremony and was not released to the public . Mickey 's official first color film came in 1935 with The Band Concert . The Technicolor film process was used in the film production . Here Mickey conducted the William Tell Overture , but the band is swept up by a tornado . It is said that conductor Arturo Toscanini so loved this short that , upon first seeing it , he asked the projectionist to run it again . In 1994 , The Band Concert was voted the third - greatest cartoon of all time in a poll of animation professionals . By colorizing and partially redesigning Mickey , Walt would put Mickey back on top once again , and Mickey would reach popularity he never reached before as audiences now gave him more appeal . Also in 1935 , Walt would receive a special award from the League of Nations for creating Mickey . However , by 1938 , the more manic Donald Duck would surpass the passive Mickey , resulting in a redesign of the mouse between 1938 and 1940 that put Mickey at the peak of his popularity . The second half of the 1930s saw the character Goofy reintroduced as a series regular . Together , Mickey , Donald Duck , and Goofy would go on several adventures together . Several of the films by the comic trio are some of Mickey 's most critically acclaimed films , including Mickey 's Fire Brigade ( 1935 ) , Moose Hunters ( 1937 ) , Clock Cleaners ( 1937 ) , Lonesome Ghosts ( 1937 ) , Boat Builders ( 1938 ) , and Mickey 's Trailer ( 1938 ) . Also during this era , Mickey would star in Brave Little Tailor ( 1938 ) , an adaptation of The Valiant Little Tailor , which was nominated for an Academy Award . Mickey was redesigned by animator Fred Moore which was first seen in The Pointer ( 1939 ) . Instead of having solid black eyes , Mickey was given white eyes with pupils , a Caucasian skin colored face , and a pear - shaped body . In the 40 's , he changed once more in The Little Whirlwind , where he used his trademark pants for the last time in decades , lost his tail , got more realistic ears that changed with perspective and a different body anatomy . But this change would only last for a short period of time before returning to the one in `` The Pointer '' , with the exception of his pants . In his final theatrical cartoons in the 1950s , he was given eyebrows , which were removed in the more recent cartoons . Mickey in Fantasia ( 1940 ) . In 1940 Mickey appeared in his first feature - length film , Fantasia . His screen role as The Sorcerer 's Apprentice , set to the symphonic poem of the same name by Paul Dukas , is perhaps the most famous segment of the film and one of Mickey 's most iconic roles . The segment features no dialogue at all , only the music . The apprentice ( Mickey ) , not willing to do his chores , puts on the sorcerer 's magic hat after the sorcerer goes to bed and casts a spell on a broom , which causes the broom to come to life and perform the most tiring chore -- filling up a deep well using two buckets of water . When the well eventually overflows , Mickey finds himself unable to control the broom , leading to a near - flood . After the segment ends , Mickey is seen in silhouette shaking hands with Leopold Stokowski , who conducts all the music heard in Fantasia . Mickey has often been pictured in the red robe and blue sorcerer 's hat in merchandising . It was also featured into the climax of Fantasmic ! , an attraction at the Disney theme parks . After 1940 , Mickey 's popularity would decline until his 1955 re-emergence as a daily children 's television personality . Despite this , the character continued to appear regularly in animated shorts until 1943 ( winning his only competitive Academy Award -- with canine companion Pluto -- for a short subject , Lend a Paw ) and again from 1946 to 1952 . The last regular installment of the Mickey Mouse film series came in 1953 with The Simple Things in which Mickey and Pluto go fishing and are pestered by a flock of seagulls . Television and later films In the 1950s , Mickey became more known for his appearances on television , particularly with The Mickey Mouse Club . Many of his theatrical cartoon shorts were rereleased on television series such as Ink & Paint Club , various forms of the Walt Disney anthology television series , and on home video . Mickey returned to theatrical animation in 1983 with Mickey 's Christmas Carol , an adaptation of Charles Dickens ' A Christmas Carol in which Mickey played Bob Cratchit . This was followed up in 1990 with The Prince and the Pauper . Throughout the decades , Mickey Mouse competed with Warner Bros . ' Bugs Bunny for animated popularity . But in 1988 , the two rivals finally shared screen time in the Robert Zemeckis Disney / Amblin film Who Framed Roger Rabbit . Disney and Warner signed an agreement stating that each character had the same amount of screen time in the scene . Similar to his animated inclusion into a live - action film on Roger Rabbit , Mickey made a featured cameo appearance in the 1990 television special The Muppets at Walt Disney World where he met Kermit the Frog . The two are established in the story as having been old friends . The Muppets have otherwise spoofed and referenced Mickey over a dozen times since the 1970s . Eventually , The Muppets were purchased by the Walt Disney Company in 2004 . Mickey in Disney 's House of Mouse ( 2001 -- 2003 ) . His most recent theatrical cartoon short was 2013 's Get a Horse ! which was preceded by 1995 's Runaway Brain , while from 1999 to 2004 , he appeared in direct - to - video features like Mickey 's Once Upon a Christmas , Mickey , Donald , Goofy : The Three Musketeers and the computer - animated Mickey 's Twice Upon a Christmas . Many television series have centered on Mickey , such as the ABC shows Mickey Mouse Works ( 1999 -- 2000 ) , Disney 's House of Mouse ( 2001 -- 2003 ) , Disney Channel 's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse ( 2006 -- 2016 ) , and Mickey and the Roadster Racers ( 2017 -- ) . Prior to all these , Mickey was also featured as an unseen character in the Bonkers episode `` You Oughta Be In Toons '' . Mickey has recently been announced to star in two films . One is being based on the Magic Kingdom theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort , while the other is a film idea pitched by Walt Disney Animation Studios veteran Burny Mattinson centering on Mickey , Donald , and Goofy . Since June 28 , 2013 , Disney Channel has been airing new 3 - minute Mickey Mouse shorts , with animator Paul Rudish at the helm , incorporating elements of Mickey 's late twenties - early thirties look with a contemporary twist . The creative team behind the 2017 DuckTales reboot had hoped to have Mickey Mouse in the series , but this idea was rejected by Disney executives . Voice actors Walt Disney ( 1901 -- 1966 ) , the co-creator of Mickey Mouse and founder of The Walt Disney Company , was the original voice of Mickey . A large part of Mickey 's screen persona is his famously shy , falsetto voice . From 1928 onward , Mickey was voiced by Walt Disney himself , a task in which Disney took great personal pride . However , by 1946 , Disney was becoming too busy with running the studio to do regular voice work which meant he could not do Mickey 's voice on a regular basis anymore . It is also speculated that his cigarette habit had damaged his voice over the years . After recording the Mickey and the Beanstalk section of Fun and Fancy Free , Mickey 's voice was handed over to veteran Disney musician and actor Jimmy MacDonald . MacDonald voiced Mickey in the remainder of the theatrical shorts and for various television and publicity projects up until his retirement in 1977 , although Walt would reprise Mickey 's voice occasionally until his passing in 1966 , such as in the introductions to the original 1955 -- 1959 run of The Mickey Mouse Club TV series , the `` Fourth Anniversary Show '' episode of the Disneyland TV series that aired on September 11 , 1958 and the Disneyland USA at Radio City Music Hall show from 1962 . Composer Carl W. Stalling was the very first person to provide lines for Mickey in the 1929 short The Karnival Kid . Clarence Nash voiced Mickey in the 1934 short The Dognapper since Walt was traveling in Europe at the time and was unavailable to record his lines for Mickey for that short . Along with Disney , J. Donald Wilson and Joe Twerp provided the voice in 1938 broadcasts of The Mickey Mouse Theater of the Air . Stan Freberg voiced Mickey in the Freberg - produced record Mickey Mouse 's Birthday Party . Alan Young voiced Mickey in the Disneyland record album An Adaptation of Dickens ' Christmas Carol , Performed by The Walt Disney Players in 1974 , which would be the first and only time that Alan Young voiced him . The 1983 short film Mickey 's Christmas Carol marked the theatrical debut of Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse , who was the official voice of Mickey from 1977 until his death in 2009 . Allwine once recounted something MacDonald had told him about voicing Mickey : `` The main piece of advice that Jim gave me about Mickey helped me keep things in perspective . He said , ' Just remember kid , you 're only filling in for the boss . ' And that 's the way he treated doing Mickey for years and years . From Walt , and now from Jimmy . '' In 1991 , Allwine married Russi Taylor , the voice of Minnie Mouse since 1986 . Les Perkins did the voice of Mickey in two TV specials , `` Down and Out with Donald Duck '' and `` DTV Valentine '' , in the mid-1980s . Peter Renaday voiced Mickey in the 1980s Disney albums Yankee Doodle Mickey and Mickey Mouse Splashdance . He also provided his voice for The Talking Mickey Mouse toy in 1986 . Quinton Flynn briefly filled in for Allwine as the voice of Mickey in a few episodes of the first season of Mickey Mouse Works whenever Allwine was unavailable to record . Bret Iwan , a former Hallmark greeting card artist , is the current voice of Mickey . Iwan was originally cast as an understudy for Allwine due to the latter 's declining health ; however , Allwine died before Iwan could meet him and Iwan became the new official voice of the character . Iwan 's early recordings in 2009 included work for the Disney Cruise Line , Mickey toys , the Disney theme parks and the Disney on Ice : Celebrations ! ice show . He directly replaced Allwine as Mickey for the Kingdom Hearts video game series and the TV series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse . His first video game voice - over of Mickey Mouse can be heard in Kingdom Hearts : Birth by Sleep . Iwan also became the first voice actor to portray Mickey during Disney 's rebranding of the character , providing the vocal effects of Mickey in Epic Mickey as well as his voice in Epic Mickey 2 : The Power of Two and the remake of Castle of Illusion . Despite Iwan being Mickey 's primary voice actor , the character 's voice is provided by Chris Diamantopoulos in the 2013 animated series , as the producers were looking for a voice closer to Walt Disney 's portrayal of the character in order to match the vintage look of that series . Mickey in comics Main article : Mickey Mouse ( comic book ) Mickey and Horace Horsecollar from the Mickey Mouse daily strip ; created by Floyd Gottfredson and published December 1932 . Mickey first appeared in comics after he had appeared in 15 commercially successful animated shorts and was easily recognized by the public . Walt Disney was approached by King Features Syndicate with the offer to license Mickey and his supporting characters for use in a comic strip . Disney accepted and Mickey made his first comic strip appearance on January 13 , 1930 . The comical plot was credited to Disney himself , art to Ub Iwerks and inking to Win Smith . The first week or so of the strip featured a loose adaptation of `` Plane Crazy '' . Minnie soon became the first addition to the cast . The strips first released between January 13 , 1930 , and March 31 , 1930 , has been occasionally reprinted in comic book form under the collective title `` Lost on a Desert Island '' . Animation historian Jim Korkis notes `` After the eighteenth strip , Iwerks left and his inker , Win Smith , continued drawing the gag - a-day format ... '' In early 1930 , after Iwerks ' departure , Disney was at first content to continue scripting the Mickey Mouse comic strip , assigning the art to Win Smith . However , Disney 's focus had always been in animation and Smith was soon assigned with the scripting as well . Smith was apparently discontent at the prospect of having to script , draw , and ink a series by himself as evidenced by his sudden resignation . Disney then searched for a replacement among the remaining staff of the Studio . He selected Floyd Gottfredson , a recently hired employee . At the time Gottfredson was reportedly eager to work in animation and somewhat reluctant to accept his new assignment . Disney had to assure him the assignment was only temporary and that he would eventually return to animation . Gottfredson accepted and ended up holding this `` temporary '' assignment from May 5 , 1930 , to November 15 , 1975 . Walt Disney 's last script for the strip appeared May 17 , 1930 . Gottfredson 's first task was to finish the storyline Disney had started on April 1 , 1930 . The storyline was completed on September 20 , 1930 , and later reprinted in comic book form as Mickey Mouse in Death Valley . This early adventure expanded the cast of the strip which to this point only included Mickey and Minnie . Among the characters who had their first comic strip appearances in this story were Clarabelle Cow , Horace Horsecollar , and Black Pete as well as the debuts of corrupted lawyer Sylvester Shyster and Minnie 's uncle Mortimer Mouse . The Death Valley narrative was followed by Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers , first printed between September 22 and December 26 , 1930 , which introduced Marcus Mouse and his wife as Minnie 's parents . Starting with these two early comic strip stories , Mickey 's versions in animation and comics are considered to have diverged from each other . While Disney and his cartoon shorts would continue to focus on comedy , the comic strip effectively combined comedy and adventure . This adventurous version of Mickey would continue to appear in comic strips and later comic books throughout the 20th and into the 21st century . Floyd Gottfredson left his mark with stories such as Mickey Mouse Joins the Foreign Legion ( 1936 ) and The Gleam ( 1942 ) . He also created the Phantom Blot , Eega Beeva , Morty and Ferdie , Captain Churchmouse , and Butch . Besides Gottfredson artists for the strip over the years included Roman Arambula , Rick Hoover , Manuel Gonzales , Carson Van Osten , Jim Engel , Bill Wright , Ted Thwailes and Daan Jippes ; writers included Ted Osborne , Merrill De Maris , Bill Walsh , Dick Shaw , Roy Williams , Del Connell , and Floyd Norman . The next artist to leave his mark on the character was Paul Murry in Dell Comics . His first Mickey tale appeared in 1950 but Mickey did not become a specialty until Murry 's first serial for Walt Disney 's Comics and Stories in 1953 ( `` The Last Resort '' ) . In the same period , Romano Scarpa in Italy for the magazine Topolino began to revitalize Mickey in stories that brought back the Phantom Blot and Eega Beeva along with new creations such as the Atomo Bleep - Bleep . While the stories at Western Publishing during the Silver Age emphasized Mickey as a detective in the style of Sherlock Holmes , in the modern era several editors and creators have consciously undertaken to depict a more vigorous Mickey in the mold of the classic Gottfredson adventures . This renaissance has been spearheaded by Byron Erickson , David Gerstein , Noel Van Horn , Michael T. Gilbert and César Ferioli . In Europe , Mickey Mouse became the main attraction of a number of comics magazines , the most famous being Topolino in Italy from 1932 on , Le Journal de Mickey in France from 1934 on , Don Miki in Spain and the Greek Miky Maous . Mickey was the main character for the series MM Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine , published in Italy from 1999 to 2001 . In 2006 , he appeared in the Italian fantasy comic saga Wizards of Mickey . In 1958 , Mickey Mouse was introduced to the Arab world through another comic book called `` Sameer '' . He became very popular in Egypt and got a comic book with his name . Mickey 's comics in Egypt are licensed by Disney and were published since 1959 by `` Dar Al - Hilal '' and they were success , however Dar Al - Hilal stopped the publication in 2003 because of problems with Disney . The comics were re-released by `` Nahdat Masr '' in 2004 and the first issues were sold out in less than 8 hours . Merchandising A 1933 Ingersoll Mickey Mouse wrist watch . Since his early years , Mickey Mouse has been licensed by Disney to appear on many different kinds of merchandise . Mickey was produced as plush toys and figurines , and Mickey 's image has graced almost everything from T - shirts to lunchboxes . Largely responsible for Disney merchandising in the 1930s was Kay Kamen ( 1892 -- 1949 ) who was called a `` stickler for quality . '' Kamen was recognized by The Walt Disney Company as having a significant part in Mickey 's rise to stardom and was named a Disney Legend in 1998 . At the time of his 80th - anniversary celebration in 2008 , Time declared Mickey Mouse one of the world 's most recognized characters , even when compared against Santa Claus . Disney officials have stated that 98 % of children aged 3 -- 11 around the world are at least aware of the character . Mickey was most famously featured on wrist watches and alarm clocks , typically utilizing his hands as the actual hands on the face of the clock . The first Mickey Mouse watches were manufactured in 1933 by the Ingersoll Watch Company . The seconds were indicated by a turning disk below Mickey . The first Mickey watch was sold at the Century of Progress in Chicago , 1933 for $3.75 . Mickey Mouse watches have been sold by other companies and designers throughout the years , including Timex , Elgin , Helbros , Bradley , Lorus , and Gérald Genta The fictional character Robert Langdon from Dan Brown 's novels was said to wear a Mickey Mouse watch as a reminder `` to stay young at heart . '' In 1989 , Milton Bradley released the electronic talking game titled Mickey Says , with three modes featuring Mickey Mouse as its host . Mickey also appeared in other toys and games , including the Worlds of Wonder released The Talking Mickey Mouse . Fisher - Price has recently produced a line of talking animatronic Mickey dolls including `` Dance Star Mickey '' ( 2010 ) and `` Rock Star Mickey '' ( 2011 ) . In total , approximately 40 % of Disney 's revenues for consumer products are derived from Mickey Mouse merchandise , with revenues peaking in 1997 . Mickey at the Disney parks Minnie and Mickey at Hong Kong Disneyland ( left ) and Mickey 's house at Mickey 's Toontown ( right ) As the official Walt Disney mascot , Mickey has played a central role in the Disney parks since the opening of Disneyland in 1955 . As with other characters , Mickey is often portrayed by a non-speaking costumed actor . In this form , he has participated in ceremonies and countless parades . A popular activity with guests is getting to meet and pose for photographs with the mouse . As of the presidency of Barack Obama ( who jokingly referred to him as `` a world leader who has bigger ears than me '' ) Mickey has met every U.S. President since Harry Truman , with the exception of Lyndon B. Johnson . Mickey also features in several specific attractions at the Disney parks . Mickey 's Toontown ( Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland ) is a themed land which is a recreation of Mickey 's neighborhood . Buildings are built in a cartoon style and guests can visit Mickey or Minnie 's houses , Donald Duck 's boat , or Goofy 's garage . This is a common place to meet the characters . Mickey 's PhilharMagic ( Magic Kingdom , Tokyo Disneyland , Hong Kong Disneyland ) is a 4D film which features Mickey in the familiar role of symphony conductor . At Main Street Cinema several of Mickey 's short films are shown on a rotating basis ; the sixth film is always Steamboat Willie . Mickey plays a central role in Fantasmic ! ( Disneyland Resort , Disney 's Hollywood Studios ) a live nighttime show which famously features Mickey in his role as the Sorcerer 's Apprentice . Mickey was also a central character in the now - defunct Mickey Mouse Revue ( Magic Kingdom , Tokyo Disneyland ) which was an indoor show featuring animatronic characters . Mickey 's face currently graces the Mickey 's Fun Wheel at Disney California Adventure Park , where a figure of him also stands on top of Silly Symphony Swings . In addition to Mickey 's overt presence in the parks , numerous images of him are also subtly included in sometimes unexpected places . This phenomenon is known as `` Hidden Mickey '' , involving hidden images in Disney films , theme parks , and merchandise . Mickey in video games Main article : List of Disney video games ( Mickey Mouse Series ) Like many popular characters , Mickey has starred in many video games , including Mickey Mousecapade on the Nintendo Entertainment System , Mickey Mania : The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse , Mickey 's Ultimate Challenge , and Disney 's Magical Quest on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System , Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse on the Mega Drive / Genesis , Mickey Mouse : Magic Wands ! on the Game Boy , and many others . In the 2000s , the Disney 's Magical Quest series were ported to the Game Boy Advance , while Mickey made his sixth generation era debut in Disney 's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse , a Nintendo GameCube title aimed at younger audiences . Mickey plays a major role in the Kingdom Hearts series , as the king of Disney Castle and aide to the protagonist , Sora . King Mickey wields the Keyblade , a weapon in the form of a key that has the power to open any lock and combat darkness . Epic Mickey , featuring a darker version of the Disney universe , was released in 2010 for the Wii . The game is part of an effort by The Walt Disney Company to re-brand the Mickey Mouse character by moving away from his current squeaky clean image and reintroducing the mischievous side of his personality . Awards and honors Mickey 's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . Mickey Mouse has received ten nominations for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film . These are Mickey 's Orphans ( 1931 ) , Building a Building ( 1933 ) , Brave Little Tailor ( 1938 ) , The Pointer ( 1939 ) , Lend a Paw ( 1941 ) , Squatter 's Rights ( 1946 ) , Mickey and the Seal ( 1948 ) , Mickey 's Christmas Carol ( 1983 ) , Runaway Brain ( 1995 ) , and Get a Horse ! ( 2013 ) . Among these , Lend a Paw was the only film to actually win the award . Additionally , in 1932 Walt Disney received an honorary Academy Award in recognition of Mickey 's creation and popularity . In 1994 , four of Mickey 's cartoons were included in the book The 50 Greatest Cartoons which listed the greatest cartoons of all time as voted by members of the animation field . The films were The Band Concert ( # 3 ) , Steamboat Willie ( # 13 ) , Brave Little Tailor ( # 26 ) , and Clock Cleaners ( # 27 ) . On November 18 , 1978 , in honor of his 50th anniversary , Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . The star is located on 6925 Hollywood Blvd . Melbourne ( Australia ) runs the annual Moomba festival street procession and appointed Mickey Mouse as their King of Moomba ( 1977 ) . Although immensely popular with children , there was controversy with the appointment : some Melburnians wanted a ' home - grown ' choice , e.g. Blinky Bill ; when it was revealed that Patricia O'Carroll ( from Disneyland 's Disney on Parade show ) was performing the mouse , Australian newspapers reported `` Mickey Mouse is really a girl ! '' Mickey was the Grand Marshal of the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year 's Day 2005 . He was the first cartoon character to receive the honor and only the second fictional character after Kermit the Frog in 1996 . Social impact Use in politics In the United States , protest votes are often made in order to indicate dissatisfaction with the slate of candidates presented on a particular ballot or to highlight the inadequacies of a particular voting procedure . Since most states ' electoral systems do not provide for blank balloting or a choice of `` None of the Above '' , most protest votes take the form of a clearly non-serious candidate 's name entered as a write - in vote . Mickey Mouse is often selected for this purpose . As an election supervisor in Georgia observed , `` If ( Mickey Mouse ) does n't get votes in our election , it 's a bad election . '' The earliest known mention of Mickey Mouse as a write - in candidate dates back to the 1932 New York City mayoral elections . Mickey Mouse 's name has also been known to appear fraudulently on voter registration lists , such as in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election . Pejorative use of Mickey 's name `` Mickey Mouse '' is a slang expression meaning small - time , amateurish or trivial . In the United Kingdom and Ireland , it also means poor quality or counterfeit . However , in parts of Australia it can mean excellent or very good ( rhyming slang for `` grouse '' ) . Examples of the former two of the three usages include the following : In The Godfather Part II , Fredo 's justification of betraying Michael is that his orders in the family usually were `` Send Fredo off to do this , send Fredo off to do that ! Let Fredo take care of some Mickey Mouse nightclub somewhere ! '' as opposed to more meaningful tasks . In an early episode of the 1978 -- 82 sitcom Mork & Mindy , Mork stated that Pluto was `` a Mickey Mouse planet '' , referring to the future dwarf planet having the same name as Mickey 's pet dog Pluto . Actually , the planet was named shortly before the dog was . In 1984 , just after an ice hockey game in which Wayne Gretzky 's Edmonton Oilers beat the New Jersey Devils 13 -- 4 , Gretzky was quoted as saying to a reporter , `` Well , it 's time they got their act together , they 're ruining the whole league . They had better stop running a Mickey Mouse organization and put somebody on the ice '' . Reacting to Gretzky 's comment , Devils fans wore Mickey Mouse apparel when the Oilers returned to New Jersey . In the 1993 Warner Bros. film Demolition Man , as Sylvester Stallone 's character is fighting the malfunctioning AI of his out - of - control police car , he shouts for the system to `` Brake ! Brake ! Brake now , you Mickey Mouse piece of shit ! '' In the 1996 Warner Bros. film Space Jam , Bugs Bunny derogatorily comments on Daffy Duck 's idea for the name of their basketball team , asking : `` What kind of Mickey Mouse organization would name a team ' The Ducks ? ' '' ( This also referenced the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim , an NHL team that was then owned by Disney , as well as the Disney - made `` The Mighty Ducks '' movie franchise . This was referencing the Disney / Warner Brothers rivalry . ) In the United States armed forces , actions that look good but have little or no practical use ( such as the specific manner of making beds in basic training or the polishing of brass fittings on board ship ) are commonly referred to as `` Mickey Mouse work . '' In schools a `` Mickey Mouse course '' , `` Mickey Mouse major '' , or `` Mickey Mouse degree '' is a class , college major , or degree where very little effort is necessary in order to attain a good grade ( especially an A ) or one where the subject matter of such a class is not of any importance in the labor market . Musicians often refer to a film score that directly follows each action on screen as Mickey Mousing ( also mickey - mousing and mickeymousing ) . Software company Microsoft has been derogatorily called `` Mickeysoft '' . In the beginning of the 1980s , then - British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once called the European Parliament a `` Mickey Mouse parliament '' , meaning a discussion club without influence . In the British sitcom Red Dwarf , in the episode `` Quarantine '' , after the team 's substandard equipment nearly cost them their lives , Lister pointed out , `` We 're a real Mickey Mouse operation , are n't we ? '' The Cat replied , `` Mickey Mouse ? We ai n't even Betty Boop ! '' The combined road course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway used for the F1 U.S. Grand Prix has been described by Jacques Villeneuve and other competitors as `` Mickey Mouse '' due to its slow uninteresting corners , and lack of challenging corners . Parodies and criticism Mickey Mouse 's global fame has made him both a symbol of The Walt Disney Company and of the United States itself . For this reason , Mickey has been used frequently in anti-American satire , such as the infamous underground cartoon `` Mickey Mouse in Vietnam '' ( 1969 ) . There have been numerous parodies of Mickey Mouse , such as the 2 - page parody `` Mickey Rodent '' by Will Elder ( published in Mad # 19 , 1955 ) in which the mouse walks around unshaven and jails Donald Duck out of jealousy over the duck 's larger popularity . The grotesque Rat Fink character was created by Ed `` Big Daddy '' Roth over his hatred of Mickey Mouse . In The Simpsons Movie , Bart Simpson puts a black bra on his head to mimic Mickey Mouse and says : `` I 'm the mascot of an evil corporation ! '' On the Comedy Central series South Park , Mickey is depicted as the sadistic , greedy , foul - mouthed boss of The Walt Disney Company , only interested in money . He also appears briefly with Donald Duck in the comic Squeak the Mouse by the Italian cartoonist Massimo Mattioli . In the 1969 parody novel Bored of the Rings , Mickey Mouse is satirized as Dickey Dragon . Legal issues Like all major Disney characters , Mickey Mouse is not only copyrighted but also trademarked , which lasts in perpetuity as long as it continues to be used commercially by its owner . So , whether or not a particular Disney cartoon goes into the public domain , the characters themselves may not be used as trademarks without authorization . Because of the Copyright Term Extension Act of the United States ( sometimes called the ' Mickey Mouse Protection Act ' because of extensive lobbying by the Disney corporation ) and similar legislation within the European Union and other jurisdictions where copyright terms have been extended , works such as the early Mickey Mouse cartoons will remain under copyright until at least 2023 . However , some copyright scholars argue that Disney 's copyright on the earliest version of the character may be invalid due to ambiguity in the copyright notice for Steamboat Willie . The Walt Disney Company has become well known for protecting its trademark on the Mickey Mouse character -- whose likeness is closely associated with the company -- with particular zeal . In 1989 , Disney threatened legal action against three daycare centers in Florida for having Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters painted on their walls . The characters were removed , and rival Universal Studios replaced them with Universal cartoon characters . Walt Disney Productions v. Air Pirates In 1971 , a group of underground cartoonists calling themselves the Air Pirates , after a group of villains from early Mickey Mouse films , produced a comic called Air Pirates Funnies . In the first issue , cartoonist Dan O'Neill depicted Mickey and Minnie Mouse engaging in explicit sexual behavior and consuming drugs . As O'Neill explained , `` The air pirates were ... some sort of bizarre concept to steal the air , pirate the air , steal the media .... Since we were cartoonists , the logical thing was Disney . '' Rather than change the appearance or name of the character , which O'Neill felt would dilute the parody , the mouse depicted in Air Pirates Funnies looks like and is named `` Mickey Mouse '' . Disney sued for copyright infringement , and after a series of appeals , O'Neill eventually lost and was ordered to pay Disney $1.9 million . The outcome of the case remains controversial among free - speech advocates . New York Law School professor Edward Samuels said , `` ( The Air Pirates ) set parody back twenty years . '' Censorship In 1930 , The German Board of Film Censors prohibited any presentations of the Mickey Mouse cartoon The Barnyard Battle ( 1929 ) . The animated short , which features the mouse as a kepi - wearing soldier fighting cat enemies in German - style helmets , was viewed by censors as a negative portrayal of Germany . It was claimed by the board that the film would `` reawaken the latest anti-German feeling existing abroad since the War '' . The Barnyard Battle incident did not incite wider anti-Mickey sentiment in Germany in 1930 ; however , after Adolf Hitler came to power several years later , the Nazi regime unambiguously propagandized against Disney . A mid-1930s German newspaper article read : `` Mickey Mouse is the most miserable ideal ever revealed ... Healthy emotions tell every independent young man and every honorable youth that the dirty and filth - covered vermin , the greatest bacteria carrier in the animal kingdom , can not be the ideal type of animal ... Away with Jewish brutalization of the people ! Down with Mickey Mouse ! Wear the Swastika Cross ! '' American cartoonist and writer Art Spiegelman would later use this quote on the opening page of the second volume of his graphic novel Maus . In 1935 Romanian authorities also banned Mickey Mouse films from cinemas , purportedly fearing that children would be `` scared to see a ten - foot mouse in the movie theatre '' . In 1938 , based on the Ministry of Popular Culture 's recommendation that a reform was necessary `` to raise children in the firm and imperialist spirit of the Fascist revolution , '' the Italian Government banned foreign children 's literature except Mickey ; Disney characters were exempted from the decree for the `` acknowledged artistic merit '' of Disney 's work . Actually , Mussolini 's children were fond of Mickey Mouse , so they managed to delay his ban as long as possible . In 1942 , after Italy declared war on the United States , fascism immediately forced Italian publishers to stop printing any Disney stories . Mickey 's stories were replaced by the adventures of Tuffolino , a new human character created by Federico Pedrocchi ( script ) and Pier Lorenzo De Vita ( art ) . After the downfall of Italy 's fascist government in 1945 , the ban was removed . Filmography Main article : List of Mickey Mouse films and appearances Mickey has been announced to star in two films .

"Mickey first appeared in the short Plane Crazy, debuting publicly in the short film Steamboat Willie (1928), one of the first sound cartoons. He went on to appear in over 130 films, including The Band Concert (1935), Brave Little Tailor (1938), and Fantasia (1940). Mickey appeared primarily in short films, but also occasionally in feature-length films. Ten of Mickey's cartoons were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, one of which, Lend a Paw, won the award in 1942. In 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame."

Ricketts , Laura Ricketts , Pete Ricketts , Todd Ricketts , Joe Ricketts Manager Joe Maddon General Manager Jed Hoyer President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein The Chicago Cubs are an American professional baseball team based in Chicago , Illinois . The Cubs compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member club of the National League ( NL ) Central division . The team plays its home games at Wrigley Field , located on the city 's North Side . The Cubs are one of two major league teams in Chicago ; the other , the Chicago White Sox , is a member of the American League ( AL ) Central division . The Cubs , first known as the White Stockings , was a founding member of the NL in 1876 , becoming the Chicago Cubs in 1903 . The Cubs have appeared in a total of eleven World Series . The 1906 Cubs won 116 games , finishing 116 -- 36 and posting a modern - era record winning percentage of . 763 , before losing the World Series to the Chicago White Sox ( `` The Hitless Wonders '' ) by four games to two . The Cubs won back - to - back World Series championships in 1907 and 1908 , becoming the first major league team to play in three consecutive World Series , and the first to win it twice . Most recently , the Cubs won the 2016 National League Championship Series and 2016 World Series , which ended a 71 - year National League pennant drought and a 108 - year World Series championship drought , both of which are record droughts in Major League Baseball . The 108 - year drought was also the longest such occurrence in all major North American sports . Since the start of divisional play in 1969 , the Cubs have appeared in the postseason eight times through the 2016 season . The Cubs are known as `` the North Siders '' , a reference to the location of Wrigley Field within the city of Chicago , and in contrast to the White Sox , whose home field ( Guaranteed Rate Field ) is located on the South Side . The Cubs have multiple rivalries . There is a divisional rivalry with the St. Louis Cardinals and also a newer rivalry with the Milwaukee Brewers . There is also an interleague rivalry with the White Sox .

Owner William Hulbert signed multiple star players , such as pitcher Albert Spalding and infielders Ross Barnes , Deacon White , and Adrian `` Cap '' Anson , to join the team prior to the N.L. 's first season . The White Stockings played their home games at West Side Grounds and quickly established themselves as one of the new league 's top teams . Spalding won forty - seven games and Barnes led the league in hitting at . 429 as Chicago won the first ever National League pennant , which at the time was the game 's top prize . After back - to - back pennants in 1880 and 1881 , Hulbert died , and Spalding , who had retired to start Spalding sporting goods , assumed ownership of the club . The White Stockings , with Anson acting as player - manager , captured their third consecutive pennant in 1882 , and Anson established himself as the game 's first true superstar . In 1885 and ' 86 , after winning N.L. pennants , the White Stockings met the champions of the short - lived American Association in that era 's version of a World Series . Both seasons resulted in match ups with the St. Louis Brown Stockings , with the clubs tying in 1885 and with St. Louis winning in 1886 . This was the genesis of what would eventually become one of the greatest rivalries in sports . In all , the Anson - led Chicago Base Ball Club won six National League pennants between 1876 and 1886 . As a result , Chicago 's club nickname transitioned , and by 1890 they had become known as the Chicago Colts , or sometimes `` Anson 's Colts '' , referring to Cap 's influence within the club . Anson was the first player in history credited with collecting 3,000 career hits . After a disappointing record of 59 -- 73 and a ninth - place finish in 1897 , Anson was released by the Cubs as both a player and manager . Due to Anson 's absence from the club after 22 years , local newspaper reporters started to refer to the Cubs as the `` Orphans '' . After the 1900 season , the American Base - Ball League formed as a rival professional league , and incidentally the club 's old White Stockings nickname ( eventually shortened to White Sox ) would be adopted by a new American League neighbor to the south . 1902 -- 1920 : a Cubs dynasty The 1906 Cubs won a record 116 of 154 games . They then won back - to - back World Series titles in 1907 -- 08 In 1902 , Spalding , who by this time had revamped the roster to boast what would soon be one of the best teams of the early century , sold the club to Jim Hart . The franchise was nicknamed the Cubs by the Chicago Daily News in 1902 , although not officially becoming the Chicago Cubs until the 1907 season . During this period , which has become known as baseball 's dead - ball era , Cub infielders Joe Tinker , Johnny Evers , and Frank Chance were made famous as a double - play combination by Franklin P. Adams ' poem Baseball 's Sad Lexicon . The poem first appeared in the July 18 , 1910 edition of the New York Evening Mail . Mordecai `` Three - Finger '' Brown , Jack Taylor , Ed Reulbach , Jack Pfiester , and Orval Overall were several key pitchers for the Cubs during this time period . With Chance acting as player - manager from 1905 to 1912 , the Cubs won four pennants and two World Series titles over a five - year span . Although they fell to the `` Hitless Wonders '' White Sox in the 1906 World Series , the Cubs recorded a record 116 victories and the best winning percentage (. 763 ) in Major League history . With mostly the same roster , Chicago won back - to - back World Series championships in 1907 and 1908 , becoming the first Major League club to play three times in the Fall Classic and the first to win it twice . However , the Cubs would not win another World Series until 2016 ; this remains the longest championship drought in North American professional sports . 1913 Chicago Cubs The next season , veteran catcher Johnny Kling left the team to become a professional pocket billiards player . Some historians think Kling 's absence was significant enough to prevent the Cubs from also winning a third straight title in 1909 , as they finished 6 games out of first place . When Kling returned the next year , the Cubs won the pennant again , but lost to the Philadelphia Athletics in the 1910 World Series . In 1914 , advertising executive Albert Lasker obtained a large block of the club 's shares and before the 1916 season assumed majority ownership of the franchise . Lasker brought in a wealthy partner , Charles Weeghman , the proprietor of a popular chain of lunch counters who had previously owned the Chicago Whales of the short - lived Federal League . As principal owners , the pair moved the club from the West Side Grounds to the much newer Weeghman Park , which had been constructed for the Whales only two years earlier , where they remain to this day . The Cubs responded by winning a pennant in the war - shortened season of 1918 , where they played a part in another team 's curse : the Boston Red Sox defeated Grover Cleveland Alexander 's Cubs four games to two in the 1918 World Series , Boston 's last Series championship until 2004 . Beginning in 1916 , Bill Wrigley of chewing - gum fame acquired an increasing quantity of stock in the Cubs . By 1921 he was the majority owner , maintaining that status into the 1930s . Meanwhile , the year 1919 saw the start of the tenure of Bill Veeck , Sr. as team president . Veeck would hold that post throughout the 1920s and into the 30s . The management team of Wrigley and Veeck came to be known as the `` double - Bills . '' The Wrigley years ( 1921 -- 1981 ) 1929 -- 1938 : every three years Club logo 1927 -- 1936 Near the end of the first decade of the double - Bills ' guidance , the Cubs won the NL pennant in 1929 and then achieved the unusual feat of winning a pennant every three years , following up the 1929 flag with league titles in 1932 , 1935 , and 1938 . Unfortunately , their success did not extend to the Fall Classic , as they fell to their AL rivals each time . The ' 32 series against the Yankees featured Babe Ruth 's `` called shot '' at Wrigley Field in game three . There were some historic moments for the Cubs as well ; In 1930 , Hack Wilson , one of the top home run hitters in the game , had one of the most impressive seasons in MLB history , hitting 56 home runs and establishing the current runs - batted - in record of 191 . That 1930 club , which boasted six eventual hall of fame members ( Wilson , Gabby Hartnett , Rogers Hornsby , George `` High Pockets '' Kelly , Kiki Cuyler and manager Joe McCarthy ) established the current team batting average record of . 309 . In 1935 the Cubs claimed the pennant in thrilling fashion , winning a record 21 games in a row in September . The ' 38 club saw Dizzy Dean lead the team 's pitching staff and provided a historic moment when they won a crucial late - season game at Wrigley Field over the Pittsburgh Pirates with a walk - off home run by Gabby Hartnett , which became known in baseball lore as `` The Homer in the Gloamin ' '' . After the `` double - Bills '' ( Wrigley and Veeck ) died in 1932 and 1933 respectively , P.K. Wrigley , son of Bill Wrigley , took over as majority owner . He was unable to extend his father 's baseball success beyond 1938 , and the Cubs slipped into years of mediocrity , although the Wrigley family would retain control of the team until 1981 . 1945 : curse of the Billy goat Main article : Curse of the Billy Goat The Cubs enjoyed one more pennant at the close of World War II , finishing 98 -- 56 . Due to the wartime travel restrictions , the first three games of the 1945 World Series were played in Detroit , where the Cubs won two games , including a one - hitter by Claude Passeau , and the final four were played at Wrigley . In game four of the series , the Curse of the Billy Goat was allegedly laid upon the Cubs when Wrigley ejected Billy Sianis , who had come to game four with two box seat tickets , one for him and one for his goat . They paraded around for a few innings , but Wrigley demanded the goat leave the park due to its unpleasant odor . Upon his ejection , Sianis uttered , `` The Cubs , they ai n't gon na win no more . '' The Cubs lost game four , lost the series , and did not return until the 2016 World Series . It has also been said by many that Sianis put a curse on the Cubs , apparently preventing the team from playing in the World Series . After losing the 1945 World Series to the Detroit Tigers , the Cubs finished with a respectable 82 - 71 record in the following year , but this was only good enough for third place . In the following two decades after Sianis ' ill will , the Cubs played mostly forgettable baseball , finishing among the worst teams in the National League on an almost annual basis . From 1947 to 1966 , they only notched one winning season . Longtime infielder - manager Phil Cavarretta , who had been a key player during the 1945 season , was fired during spring training in 1954 after admitting the team was unlikely to finish above fifth place . Although shortstop Ernie Banks would become one of the star players in the league during the next decade , finding help for him proved a difficult task , as quality players such as Hank Sauer were few and far between . This , combined with poor ownership decisions such as the College of Coaches , and the ill - fated trade of future Hall of Fame member Lou Brock to the Cardinals for pitcher Ernie Broglio ( who won only seven games over the next three seasons ) , hampered on - field performance . 1969 : Fall of ' 69 Main article : 1969 Chicago Cubs season The late - 1960s brought hope of a renaissance , with third baseman Ron Santo , pitcher Ferguson Jenkins , and outfielder Billy Williams joining Banks . After losing a dismal 103 games in 1966 , the Cubs brought home consecutive winning records in ' 67 and ' 68 , marking the first time a Cub team had accomplished that feat in over two decades . In 1969 the Cubs , managed by Leo Durocher , built a substantial lead in the newly created National League Eastern Division by mid-August . Ken Holtzman pitched a no - hitter on August 19 , and the division lead grew to 8 ⁄ games over the St. Louis Cardinals and by 9 ⁄ games over the New York Mets . After the game of September 2 , the Cubs record was 84 - 52 with the Mets in second place at 77 - 55 . But then a losing streak began just as a Mets winning streak was beginning . The Cubs lost the final game of a series at Cincinnati , then came home to play the resurgent Pittsburgh Pirates ( who would finish in third place ) . After losing the first two games by scores of 9 - 2 and 13 - 4 , the Cubs led going into the ninth inning . A win would be a positive springboard since the Cubs were to play a crucial series with the Mets the next day . But Willie Stargell drilled a two - out , two - strike pitch from the Cubs ' ace reliever , Phil Regan , onto Sheffield Avenue to tie the score in the top of the ninth . The Cubs would lose 7 - 5 in extra innings. ( 6 ) Burdened by a four - game losing streak , the Cubs traveled to Shea Stadium for a short two - game set . The Mets won both games , and the Cubs left New York with a record of 84 - 58 just 1 ⁄ 2 game in front . More of the same followed in Philadelphia , as a 99 loss Phillies team nonetheless defeated the Cubs twice , to extend Chicago 's losing streak to eight games . In a key play in the second game , on September 11 , Cubs starter Dick Selma threw a surprise pickoff attempt to third baseman Ron Santo , who was nowhere near the bag or the ball . Selma 's throwing error opened the gates to a Phillies rally . After that second Philly loss , the Cubs were 84 - 60 and the Mets had pulled ahead at 85 - 57 . The Mets would not look back . The Cubs ' eight - game losing streak finally ended the next day in St. Louis , but the Mets were in the midst of a ten - game winning streak , and the Cubs , wilting from team fatigue , generally deteriorated in all phases of the game. ( 1 ) The Mets ( who had lost a record 120 games 7 years earlier ) , would go on to win the World Series . The Cubs , despite a respectable 92 - 70 record , would be remembered for having lost a remarkable 171⁄2 games in the standings to the Mets in the last quarter of the season . 1977 -- 1979 : June Swoon Main article : 1977 Chicago Cubs season Following the 1969 season , the club posted winning records for the next few seasons , but no playoff action . After the core players of those teams started to move on , the 70s got worse for the team , and they became known as `` the Loveable Losers . '' In 1977 , the team found some life , but ultimately experienced one of its biggest collapses . The Cubs hit a high - water mark on June 28 at 47 -- 22 , boasting an 8 ⁄ game NL East lead , as they were led by Bobby Murcer ( 27 HR / 89 RBI ) , and Rick Reuschel ( 20 -- 10 ) . However , the Philadelphia Phillies cut the lead to two by the All - star break , as the Cubs sat 19 games over . 500 , but they swooned late in the season , going 20 -- 40 after July 31 . The Cubs finished in fourth place at 81 -- 81 , while Philadelphia surged , finishing with 101 wins . The following two seasons also saw the Cubs get off to a fast start , as the team rallied to over 10 games above . 500 well into both seasons , only to again wear down and play poorly later on , and ultimately settling back to mediocrity . This trait became known as the `` June Swoon '' . Again , the Cubs ' unusually high number of day games is often pointed to as one reason for the team 's inconsistent late season play . Wrigley died in 1977 . The Wrigley family sold the team to the Chicago Tribune in 1981 , ending a 65 - year family relationship with the Cubs . Tribune company years ( 1981 -- 2008 ) 1984 : heartbreak Main article : 1984 Chicago Cubs season Ryne Sandberg set numerous league and club records in his career and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2005 . After over a dozen more subpar seasons , in 1981 the Cubs hired GM Dallas Green from Philadelphia to turn around the franchise . Green had managed the 1980 Phillies to the World Series title . One of his early GM moves brought in a young Phillies minor - league 3rd baseman named Ryne Sandberg , along with Larry Bowa for Iván DeJesús . The 1983 Cubs had finished 71 -- 91 under Lee Elia , who was fired before the season ended by Green . Green continued the culture of change and overhauled the Cubs roster , front - office and coaching staff prior to 1984 . Jim Frey was hired to manage the 1984 Cubs , with Don Zimmer coaching 3rd base and Billy Connors serving as pitching coach . Green shored up the 1984 roster with a series of transactions . In December , 1983 Scott Sanderson was acquired from Montreal in a three - team deal with San Diego for Carmelo Martínez . Pinch hitter Richie Hebner (. 333 BA in 1984 ) was signed as a free - agent . In spring training , moves continued : LF Gary Matthews and CF Bobby Dernier came from Philadelphia on March 26 , for Bill Campbell and a minor leaguer . Reliever Tim Stoddard ( 10 -- 6 3.82 , 7 saves ) was acquired the same day for a minor leaguer ; veteran pitcher Ferguson Jenkins was released . The team 's commitment to contend was complete when Green made a midseason deal on June 15 to shore up the starting rotation due to injuries to Rick Reuschel ( 5 -- 5 ) and Sanderson . The deal brought 1979 NL Rookie of the Year pitcher Rick Sutcliffe from the Cleveland Indians . Joe Carter ( who was with the Triple - A Iowa Cubs at the time ) and right fielder Mel Hall were sent to Cleveland for Sutcliffe and back - up catcher Ron Hassey (. 333 with Cubs in 1984 ) . Sutcliffe ( 5 -- 5 with the Indians ) immediately joined Sanderson ( 8 -- 5 3.14 ) , Eckersley ( 10 -- 8 3.03 ) , Steve Trout ( 13 -- 7 3.41 ) and Dick Ruthven ( 6 -- 10 5.04 ) in the starting rotation . Sutcliffe proceeded to go 16 -- 1 for Cubs and capture the Cy Young Award . The Cubs 1984 starting lineup was very strong . It consisted of LF Matthews (. 291 14 -- 82 101 runs 17 SB ) , C Jody Davis (. 256 19 -- 94 ) , RF Keith Moreland (. 279 16 -- 80 ) , SS Larry Bowa (. 223 10 SB ) , 1B Leon `` Bull '' Durham (. 279 23 -- 96 16SB ) , CF Dernier (. 278 45 SB ) , 3B Ron Cey (. 240 25 -- 97 ) , Closer Lee Smith ( 9 -- 7 3.65 33 saves ) and 1984 NL MVP Ryne Sandberg (. 314 19 -- 84 114 runs , 19 triples , 32 SB ) . Reserve players Hebner , Thad Bosley , Henry Cotto , Hassey and Dave Owen produced exciting moments . The bullpen depth of Rich Bordi , George Frazier , Warren Brusstar and Dickie Noles did their job in getting the game to Smith or Stoddard . At the top of the order , Dernier and Sandberg were exciting , aptly coined `` the Daily Double '' by Harry Caray . With strong defense -- Dernier CF and Sandberg 2B , won the NL Gold Glove - solid pitching and clutch hitting , the Cubs were a well balanced team . Following the `` Daily Double '' , Matthews , Durham , Cey , Moreland and Davis gave the Cubs an order with no gaps to pitch around . Sutcliffe anchored a strong top to bottom rotation and Smith was one of the top closers in the game . The shift in the Cubs ' fortunes was characterized June 23 on the `` NBC Saturday Game of the Week '' contest against the St. Louis Cardinals ; it has since been dubbed simply `` The Sandberg Game . '' With the nation watching and Wrigley Field packed , Sandberg emerged as a superstar with not one , but two game - tying home runs against Cardinals closer Bruce Sutter . With his shots in the 9th and 10th innings Wrigley Field erupted and Sandberg set the stage for a comeback win that cemented the Cubs as the team to beat in the East . No one would catch them , except the Padres in the playoffs . In early August the Cubs swept the Mets in a 4 - game home series that further distanced them from the pack . An infamous Keith Moreland - Ed Lynch fight erupted after Lynch hit Moreland with a pitch , perhaps forgetting Moreland was once a linebacker at the University of Texas . It was the second game of a double header and the Cubs had won the first game in part due to a three run home run by Moreland . After the bench - clearing fight the Cubs won the second game , and the sweep put the Cubs at 68 -- 45 . In 1984 , each league had two divisions , East and West . The divisional winners met in a best - of - 5 series to advance to the World Series , in a `` 2 -- 3 '' format , first two games were played at the home of the team who did not have home field advantage . Then the last three games were played at the home of the team , with home field advantage . Thus the first two games were played at Wrigley Field and the next three at the home of their opponents , San Diego . A common and unfounded myth is that since Wrigley Field did not have lights at that time the National League decided to give the home field advantage to the winner of the NL West . In fact , home field advantage had rotated between the winners of the East and West since 1969 when the league expanded . In even numbered years , the NL West had home field advantage . In odd numbered years , the NL East had home field advantage . Since the NL East winners had had home field advantage in 1983 , the NL West winners were entitled to it . The confusion may stem from the fact that Major League Baseball did decide that , should the Cubs make it to the World Series , the American League winner would have home field advantage unless the Cubs hosted home games at an alternate site since the Cubs home field of Wrigley Field did not yet have lights . Rumor was the Cubs could hold home games across town at Comiskey Park , home of the American League 's Chicago White Sox . Rather than hold any games in the cross town rival Sox Park , the Cubs made arrangements with the August A. Busch , owner of the St. Louis Cardinals , to use Busch Stadium in St. Louis as the Cubs `` home field '' for the World Series . This was approved by Major League Baseball and would have enabled the Cubs to host games 1 and 2 , along with games 6 and 7 if necessary . At the time home field advantage was rotated between each league . Odd numbered years the AL had home field advantage . Even numbered years the NL had home field advantage . In the 1982 World Series the St. Louis Cardinals of the NL had home field advantage . In the 1983 World Series the Baltimore Orioles of the AL had home field advantage . In the NLCS , the Cubs easily won the first two games at Wrigley Field against the San Diego Padres . The Padres were the winners of the Western Division with Steve Garvey , Tony Gwynn , Eric Show , Goose Gossage and Alan Wiggins . With wins of 13 -- 0 and 4 -- 2 , the Cubs needed to win only one game of the next three in San Diego to make it to the World Series . After being beaten in Game 3 7 -- 1 , the Cubs lost Game 4 when Smith , with the game tied 5 -- 5 , allowed a game - winning home run to Garvey in the bottom of the ninth inning . In Game 5 the Cubs took a 3 -- 0 lead into the 6th inning , and a 3 -- 2 lead into the seventh with Sutcliffe ( who won the Cy Young Award that year ) still on the mound . Then , Leon Durham had a sharp grounder go under his glove . This critical error helped the Padres win the game 6 -- 3 , with a 4 - run 7th inning and keep Chicago out of the 1984 World Series against the Detroit Tigers . The loss ended a spectacular season for the Cubs , one that brought alive a slumbering franchise and made the Cubs relevant for a whole new generation of Cubs fans . The Padres would be defeated in 5 games by Sparky Anderson 's Tigers in the World Series . Baseball experts felt the Cubs would have better represented the National League and would have won at least two World Series games . Shawon Dunston was the Cubs shortstop for 10 years . The 1985 season brought high hopes . The club started out well , going 35 -- 19 through mid-June , but injuries to Sutcliffe and others in the pitching staff contributed to a 13 - game losing streak that pushed the Cubs out of contention . 1989 : NL East division championship Main article : 1989 Chicago Cubs season In 1989 , the first full season with night baseball at Wrigley Field , Don Zimmer 's Cubs were led by a core group of veterans in Ryne Sandberg , Rick Sutcliffe and Andre Dawson , who were boosted by a crop of youngsters such as Mark Grace , Shawon Dunston , Greg Maddux , Rookie of the Year Jerome Walton , and Rookie of the Year Runner - Up Dwight Smith . The Cubs won the NL East once again that season winning 93 games . This time the Cubs met the San Francisco Giants in the NLCS . After splitting the first two games at home , the Cubs headed to the Bay Area , where despite holding a lead at some point in each of the next three games , bullpen meltdowns and managerial blunders ultimately led to three straight losses . The Cubs could n't overcome the efforts of Will Clark , whose home run off Maddux , just after a managerial visit to the mound , led Maddux to think Clark knew what pitch was coming . Afterward , Maddux would speak into his glove during any mound conversation , beginning what is a norm today . Mark Grace was 11 -- 17 in the series with 8 RBI . Eventually , the Giants lost to the `` Bash Brothers '' and the Oakland A 's in the famous `` Earthquake Series . '' 1998 : Wild Card race and home run chase Sammy Sosa was the captain of the Chicago Cubs during his tenure with the team . Main articles : 1998 Chicago Cubs season and 1998 Major League Baseball home run record chase The 1998 season would begin on a somber note with the death of legendary broadcaster Harry Caray . After the retirement of Sandberg and the trade of Dunston , the Cubs had holes to fill , and the signing of Henry Rodríguez to bat cleanup provided protection for Sammy Sosa in the lineup , as Rodriguez slugged 31 round - trippers in his first season in Chicago . Kevin Tapani led the club with a career high 19 wins while Rod Beck anchored a strong bullpen and Mark Grace turned in one of his best seasons . The Cubs were swamped by media attention in 1998 , and the team 's two biggest headliners were Sosa and rookie flamethrower Kerry Wood . Wood 's signature performance was one - hitting the Houston Astros , a game in which he tied the major league record of 20 strikeouts in nine innings . His torrid strikeout numbers earned Wood the nickname `` Kid K , '' and ultimately earned him the 1998 NL Rookie of the Year award . Sosa caught fire in June , hitting a major league record 20 home runs in the month , and his home run race with Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire transformed the pair into international superstars in a matter of weeks . McGwire finished the season with a new major league record of 70 home runs , but Sosa 's . 308 average and 66 homers earned him the National League MVP Award . After a down - to - the - wire Wild Card chase with the San Francisco Giants , Chicago and San Francisco ended the regular season tied , and thus squared off in a one - game playoff at Wrigley Field . Third baseman Gary Gaetti hit the eventual game winning homer in the playoff game . The win propelled the Cubs into the postseason for the first time since 1989 with a 90 -- 73 regular season record . Unfortunately , the bats went cold in October , as manager Jim Riggleman 's club batted . 183 and scored only four runs en route to being swept by Atlanta in the National League Division Series . The home run chase between Sosa , McGwire and Ken Griffey , Jr. helped professional baseball to bring in a new crop of fans as well as bringing back some fans who had been disillusioned by the 1994 strike . The Cubs retained many players who experienced career years in 1998 , but , after a fast start in 1999 , they collapsed again ( starting with being swept at the hands of the cross-town White Sox in mid-June ) and finished in the bottom of the division for the next two seasons . 2001 : playoff push Main article : 2001 Chicago Cubs season Despite losing fan favorite Grace to free agency and the lack of production from newcomer Todd Hundley , skipper Don Baylor 's Cubs put together a good season in 2001 . The season started with Mack Newton being brought in to preach `` positive thinking . '' One of the biggest stories of the season transpired as the club made a midseason deal for Fred McGriff , which was drawn out for nearly a month as McGriff debated waiving his no - trade clause . The Cubs led the wild card race by 2.5 games in early September , but crumbled when Preston Wilson hit a three run walk off homer off of closer Tom `` Flash '' Gordon , which halted the team 's momentum . The team was unable to make another serious charge , and finished at 88 -- 74 , five games behind both Houston and St. Louis , who tied for first . Sosa had perhaps his finest season and Jon Lieber led the staff with a 20 - win season . 2003 : five more outs Main articles : 2003 Chicago Cubs season and Steve Bartman incident The Cubs had high expectations in 2002 , but the squad played poorly . On July 5 , 2002 , the Cubs promoted assistant general manager and player personnel director Jim Hendry to the General Manager position . The club responded by hiring Dusty Baker and by making some major moves in 2003 . Most notably , they traded with the Pittsburgh Pirates for outfielder Kenny Lofton and third baseman Aramis Ramírez , and rode dominant pitching , led by Kerry Wood and Mark Prior , as the Cubs led the division down the stretch . Mark Prior , along with Kerry Wood , led the Cubs ' rotation in 2003 . Chicago halted St. Louis ' run to the playoffs by taking four of five games from the Cardinals at Wrigley Field in early September , after which they won their first division title in 14 years . They then went on to defeat the Atlanta Braves in a dramatic five - game Division Series , the franchise 's first postseason series win since beating the Detroit Tigers in the 1908 World Series . After losing an extra-inning game in Game 1 , the Cubs rallied and took a three - games - to - one lead over the Wild Card Florida Marlins in the National League Championship Series . Florida shut the Cubs out in Game 5 , but the Cubs returned home to Wrigley Field with young pitcher Mark Prior to lead the Cubs in Game 6 as they took a 3 -- 0 lead into the 8th inning . It was at this point when a now - infamous incident took place . Several spectators attempted to catch a foul ball off the bat of Luis Castillo . A Chicago Cubs fan by the name of Steve Bartman , of Northbrook , Illinois , reached for the ball and deflected it away from the glove of Moisés Alou for the second out of the eighth inning . Alou reacted angrily toward the stands and after the game stated that he would have caught the ball . Alou at one point recanted , saying he would not have been able to make the play , but later said this was just an attempt to make Bartman feel better and believing the whole incident should be forgotten . Interference was not called on the play , as the ball was ruled to be on the spectator side of the wall . Castillo was eventually walked by Prior . Two batters later , and to the chagrin of the packed stadium , Cubs shortstop Alex Gonzalez misplayed an inning - ending double play , loading the bases . The error would lead to eight Florida runs and a Marlin victory . Despite sending Kerry Wood to the mound and holding a lead twice , the Cubs ultimately dropped Game 7 , and failed to reach the World Series . The `` Steve Bartman incident '' was seen as the `` first domino '' in the turning point of the era , and the Cubs did not win a playoff game for the next eleven seasons . 2004 -- 2006 Main articles : 2004 Chicago Cubs season , 2005 Chicago Cubs season , and 2006 Chicago Cubs season In 2004 , the Cubs were a consensus pick by most media outlets to win the World Series . The offseason acquisition of Derek Lee ( who was acquired in a trade with Florida for Hee - seop Choi ) and the return of Greg Maddux only bolstered these expectations . Despite a mid-season deal for Nomar Garciaparra , misfortune struck the Cubs again . They led the Wild Card by 1.5 games over San Francisco and Houston on September 25 . On that day , both teams lost , giving the Cubs a chance at increasing the lead to 2.5 games with only eight games remaining in the season , but reliever LaTroy Hawkins blew a save to the Mets , and the Cubs lost the game in extra innings . The defeat seemingly deflated the team , as they proceeded to drop six of their last eight games as the Astros won the Wild Card . Dempster emerged in 2004 and became the Cubs ' regular closer . Despite the fact that the Cubs had won 89 games , this fallout was decidedly unlovable , as the Cubs traded superstar Sammy Sosa after he had left the season 's final game early and then lied about it publicly . Already a controversial figure in the clubhouse after his corked - bat incident , Sammy 's actions alienated much of his once strong fan base as well as the few teammates still on good terms with him , ( many teammates grew tired of Sosa playing loud salsa music in the locker room ) and possibly tarnished his place in Cubs ' lore for years to come . The disappointing season also saw fans start to become frustrated with the constant injuries to ace pitchers Mark Prior and Kerry Wood . Additionally , the 2004 season led to the departure of popular commentator Steve Stone , who had become increasingly critical of management during broadcasts and was verbally attacked by reliever Kent Mercker . Things were no better in 2005 , despite a career year from first baseman Derrek Lee and the emergence of closer Ryan Dempster . The club struggled and suffered more key injuries , only managing to win 79 games after being picked by many to be a serious contender for the N.L. pennant . In 2006 , bottom fell out as the Cubs finished 66 -- 96 , last in the NL Central . 2007 -- 2008 : back to back division titles Alfonso Soriano signed with the club in 2007 Main articles : 2007 Chicago Cubs season and 2008 Chicago Cubs season After finishing last in the NL Central with 66 wins in 2006 , the Cubs re-tooled and went from `` worst to first '' in 2007 . In the offseason they signed Alfonso Soriano to a contract at eight years for $136 million , and replaced manager Dusty Baker with fiery veteran manager Lou Piniella . After a rough start , which included a brawl between Michael Barrett and Carlos Zambrano , the Cubs overcame the Milwaukee Brewers , who had led the division for most of the season . The Cubs traded Barrett to the Padres , and later acquired catcher Jason Kendall from Oakland . Kendall was highly successful with his management of the pitching rotation and helped at the plate as well . By September , Geovany Soto became the full - time starter behind the plate , replacing the veteran Kendall . Winning streaks in June and July , coupled with a pair of dramatic , late - inning wins against the Reds , led to the Cubs ultimately clinching the NL Central with a record of 85 -- 77 . They met Arizona in the NLDS , but controversy followed as Piniella , in a move that has since come under scrutiny , pulled Carlos Zambrano after the sixth inning of a pitcher 's duel with D - Backs ace Brandon Webb , to `` ... save Zambrano for ( a potential ) Game 4 . '' The Cubs , however , were unable to come through , losing the first game and eventually stranding over 30 baserunners in a three - game Arizona sweep . Carlos Zambrano warming up before a game . The Tribune company , in financial distress , was acquired by real - estate mogul Sam Zell in December 2007 . This acquisition included the Cubs . However , Zell did not take an active part in running the baseball franchise , instead concentrating on putting together a deal to sell it . The Cubs successfully defended their National League Central title in 2008 , going to the postseason in consecutive years for the first time since 1906 -- 08 . The offseason was dominated by three months of unsuccessful trade talks with the Orioles involving 2B Brian Roberts , as well as the signing of Chunichi Dragons star Kosuke Fukudome . The team recorded their 10,000 th win in April , while establishing an early division lead . Reed Johnson and Jim Edmonds were added early on and Rich Harden was acquired from the Oakland Athletics in early July . The Cubs headed into the All - Star break with the N.L. 's best record , and tied the league record with eight representatives to the All - Star game , including catcher Geovany Soto , who was named Rookie of the Year . The Cubs took control of the division by sweeping a four - game series in Milwaukee . On September 14 , in a game moved to Miller Park due to Hurricane Ike , Zambrano pitched a no - hitter against the Astros , and six days later the team clinched by beating St. Louis at Wrigley . The club ended the season with a 97 -- 64 record and met Los Angeles in the NLDS . The heavily favored Cubs took an early lead in Game 1 , but James Loney 's grand slam off Ryan Dempster changed the series ' momentum . Chicago committed numerous critical errors and were outscored 20 -- 6 in a Dodger sweep , which provided yet another sudden ending . The Ricketts era ( 2009 -- present ) The Ricketts family acquired a majority interest in the Cubs in 2009 , ending the Tribune years . Apparently handcuffed by the Tribune 's bankruptcy and the sale of the club to the Ricketts siblings , led by chairman Thomas S. Ricketts , the Cubs ' quest for a NL Central three - peat started with notice that there would be less invested into contracts than in previous years . Chicago engaged St. Louis in a see - saw battle for first place into August 2009 , but the Cardinals played to a torrid 20 -- 6 pace that month , designating their rivals to battle in the Wild Card race , from which they were eliminated in the season 's final week . The Cubs were plagued by injuries in 2009 , and were only able to field their Opening Day starting lineup three times the entire season . Third baseman Aramis Ramírez injured his throwing shoulder in an early May game against the Milwaukee Brewers , sidelining him until early July and forcing journeyman players like Mike Fontenot and Aaron Miles into more prominent roles . Additionally , key players like Derrek Lee ( who still managed to hit . 306 with 35 HR and 111 RBI that season ) , Alfonso Soriano , and Geovany Soto also nursed nagging injuries . The Cubs posted a winning record ( 83 -- 78 ) for the third consecutive season , the first time the club had done so since 1972 , and a new era of ownership under the Ricketts family was approved by MLB owners in early October . 2010 - 2014 : the decline and rebuild Main articles : 2010 Chicago Cubs season , 2011 Chicago Cubs season , 2012 Chicago Cubs season , 2013 Chicago Cubs season , and 2014 Chicago Cubs season Starlin Castro during his 2010 rookie season . Rookie Starlin Castro debuted in early May ( 2010 ) as the starting shortstop . However , the club played poorly in the early season , finding themselves 10 games under . 500 at the end of June . In addition , long - time ace Carlos Zambrano was pulled from a game against the White Sox on June 25 after a tirade and shoving match with Derrek Lee , and was suspended indefinitely by Jim Hendry , who called the conduct `` unacceptable . '' On August 22 , Lou Piniella , who had already announced his retirement at the end of the season , announced that he would leave the Cubs prematurely to take care of his sick mother . Mike Quade took over as the interim manager for the final 37 games of the year . Despite being well out of playoff contention the Cubs went 24 -- 13 under Quade , the best record in baseball during that 37 game stretch , earning Quade the manager position going forward on October 19 . On December 3 , 2010 , Cubs broadcaster and former third baseman , Ron Santo , died due to complications from bladder cancer and diabetes . He spent 13 seasons as a player with the Cubs , and at the time of his death was regarded as one of the greatest players not in the Hall of Fame . He was posthumously elected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 2012 . Despite trading for pitcher Matt Garza and signing free - agent slugger Carlos Peña , the Cubs finished the 2011 season 20 games under . 500 with a record of 71 -- 91 . Weeks after the season came to an end , the club was rejuvenated in the form of a new philosophy , as new owner Tom Ricketts signed Theo Epstein away from the Boston Red Sox , naming him club President and giving him a five - year contract worth over $18 million , and subsequently discharged manager Mike Quade . Epstein , a proponent of sabremetrics and one of the architects of the 2004 and 2007 World Series championships in Boston , brought along Jed Hoyer from the Padres to fill the role of GM and hired Dale Sveum as manager . Although the team had a dismal 2012 season , losing 101 games ( the worst record since 1966 ) , it was largely expected . The youth movement ushered in by Epstein and Hoyer began as longtime fan favorite Kerry Wood retired in May , followed by Ryan Dempster and Geovany Soto being traded to Texas at the All - Star break for a group of minor league prospects headlined by Christian Villanueva , but also included little thought of Kyle Hendricks . The development of Castro , Anthony Rizzo , Darwin Barney , Brett Jackson and pitcher Jeff Samardzija , as well as the replenishing of the minor - league system with prospects such as Javier Baez , Albert Almora , and Jorge Soler became the primary focus of the season , a philosophy which the new management said would carry over at least through the 2013 season . One of two Cubs building blocks , Anthony Rizzo , swinging in the box . The 2013 season resulted in much as the same the year before . Shortly before the trade deadline , the Cubs traded Matt Garza to the Texas Rangers for Mike Olt , Carl Edwards Jr , Neil Ramirez , and Justin Grimm . Three days later , the Cubs sent Alfonso Soriano to the New York Yankees for minor leaguer Corey Black . The mid season fire sale led to another last place finish in the NL Central , finishing with a record of 66 - 96 . Although there was a five - game improvement in the record from the year before , Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro seemed to take steps backward in their development . On September 30 , 2013 , Theo Epstein made the decision to fire manager Dale Sveum after just two seasons at the helm of the Cubs . The regression of several young players was thought to be the main focus point , as the front office said Sveum would not be judged based on wins and losses . In two seasons as skipper , Sveum finished with a record of 127 -- 197 . The 2013 season was also notable as the Cubs drafted future Rookie of the Year and MVP Kris Bryant with the second overall selection . On November 7 , 2013 , the Cubs hired San Diego Padres bench coach Rick Renteria to be the 53rd manager in team history . The Cubs finished the 2014 season in last place with a 73 - 89 record in Rentería 's first and only season as manager . Despite the poor record , the Cubs improved in many areas during 2014 , including rebound years by Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro , ending the season with a winning record at home for the first time since 2009 , and compiling a 33 -- 34 record after the All - Star Break . However , following unexpected availability of Joe Maddon , the Cubs relieved Rentería of his managerial duties on October 31 , 2014 . During the season , the Cubs drafted Kyle Schwarber with the fourth overall selection . Hall of Famer Ernie Banks died of a heart attack on January 23 , 2015 , shortly before his 84th birthday . The 2015 uniform carried a commemorative # 14 patch on both its home and away jerseys in his honor . 2015 : the arrival of Joe Maddon Main article : 2015 Chicago Cubs season On November 2 , 2014 , the Cubs announced that Joe Maddon had signed a five - year contract to be the 54th manager in team history . On December 10 , 2014 , Maddon announced that the team had signed free agent Jon Lester to a six - year , $155 million contract . Many other trades and acquisitions occurred during the off season . The opening day lineup for the Cubs contained five new players including center fielder Dexter Fowler . Rookies Kris Bryant and Addison Russell were in the starting lineup by mid-April , and rookie Kyle Schwarber was added in mid-June . On August 30 , Jake Arrieta threw a no hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers . The Cubs finished the 2015 season in third place in the NL Central , with a record of 97 -- 65 , the third best record in the majors and earned a wild card berth . On October 7 , in the 2015 National League Wild Card Game , Arrieta pitched a complete game shutout and the Cubs defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4 -- 0 . The Cubs defeated the Cardinals in the NLDS three - games - to - one , qualifying for a return to the NLCS for the first time in 12 years , where they faced the New York Mets . This was the first time in franchise history that the Cubs had clinched a playoff series at Wrigley Field . However , they were swept in four games by the Mets and were unable to make it to their first World Series since 1945 . 2016 : World Series champions Main article : 2016 Chicago Cubs season The Cubs celebrate after winning the 2016 World Series Before the season , in an effort to shore up their lineup , free agents Ben Zobrist , Jason Heyward and John Lackey were signed . To make room for the Zobrist signing , Starlin Castro was traded to the Yankees for Adam Warren and Brendan Ryan , the latter of whom was released a week later . 2016 Champions visit the White House in June 2017 In a season that included a no - hitter on April 21 by Jake Arrieta , the Cubs finished with the best record in Major League Baseball and won their first National League Central title since the 2008 season , winning by 17.5 games . The team also reached the 100 - win mark for the first time since 1935 and won 103 total games , the most wins for the franchise since 1910 . The Cubs defeated the San Francisco Giants in the National League Division Series and returned to the National League Championship Series for the second year in a row , where they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games . This was their first NLCS win since the series was created in 1969 . The win earned the Cubs their first World Series appearance since 1945 and a chance for their first World Series win since 1908 . Coming back from a three - games - to - one deficit , the Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in seven games in the 2016 World Series , They were the first team to come back from a three - games - to - one deficit since the Kansas City Royals in 1985 . On November 4 , the city of Chicago held a victory parade and rally for the Cubs that began at Wrigley Field , headed down Lake Shore Drive , and ended in Grant Park . The city estimated that over five million people attended the parade and rally , which made it one of the largest recorded gatherings in history . Ballpark Wrigley Field and Wrigleyville Wrigley Field ( exterior ) -- Game 3 of the 2016 World Series Wrigley Field ( interior ) -- Game 3 of the 2016 World Series Further information : Wrigley Rooftops and Wrigley Field renovations The Cubs have played their home games at Wrigley Field , also known as `` The Friendly Confines '' since 1916 . It was built in 1914 as Weeghman Park for the Chicago Whales , a Federal League baseball team . The Cubs also shared the park with the Chicago Bears of the NFL for 50 years . The ballpark includes a manual scoreboard , ivy - covered brick walls , and relatively small dimensions . Located in Chicago 's Lake View neighborhood , Wrigley Field sits on an irregular block bounded by Clark and Addison Streets and Waveland and Sheffield Avenues . The area surrounding the ballpark is typically referred to as Wrigleyville . There is a dense collection of sports bars and restaurants in the area , most with baseball inspired themes , including Sluggers , Murphy 's Bleachers and The Cubby Bear . Many of the apartment buildings surrounding Wrigley Field on Waveland and Sheffield Avenues have built bleachers on their rooftops for fans to view games and other sell space for advertisement . One building on Sheffield Avenue has a sign atop its roof which says `` Eamus Catuli ! '' which is Latin for `` Let 's Go Cubs ! '' and another chronicles the time since the last Division title , pennant , and World Series championship . The 00 denotes the 2016 NL Central title , NL pennant , and the World Series championship . On game days , many residents rent out their yards and driveways to people looking for parking spots . The uniqueness of the neighborhood itself has ingrained itself into the culture of the Chicago Cubs as well as the Wrigleyville neighborhood , and has led to being used for concerts and other sporting events , such as the 2010 NHL Winter Classic between the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings , as well as a 2010 NCAA men 's football game between the Northwestern Wildcats and Illinois Fighting Illini . In 2013 , Tom Ricketts and team president Crane Kenney unveiled plans for a five - year , $575 million privately funded renovation of Wrigley Field . Called the 1060 Project , the proposed plans included vast improvements to the stadium 's facade , infrastructure , restrooms , concourses , suites , press box , bullpens , and clubhouses , as well as a 6,000 - square - foot ( 560 m ) t jumbotron to be added in the left field bleachers , batting tunnels , a 3,000 - square - foot ( 280 m ) video board in right field , and , eventually , an adjacent hotel , plaza , and office - retail complex . In previously years mostly all efforts to conduct any large - scale renovations to the field had been opposed by the city , former mayor Richard M. Daley ( a staunch White Sox fan ) , and especially the rooftop owners . Months of negotiations between the team , a group of rooftop properties investors , local Alderman Tom Tunney , and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel followed with the eventual endorsements of the city 's Landmarks Commission , the Plan Commission and final approval by the Chicago City Council in July 2013 . The project began at the conclusion of the 2014 season . Bleacher bums The `` Bleacher Bums '' is a name given to fans , many of whom spend much of the day heckling , who sit in the bleacher section at Wrigley Field . Initially , the group was called `` bums '' because it referred to a group of fans who were at most games , and since those games were all day games , it was assumed they did not work . Many of those fans were , and are still , students at Chicago area colleges , such as DePaul University , Loyola , Northwestern University , and Illinois - Chicago . A Broadway play , starring Joe Mantegna , Dennis Farina , Dennis Franz , and James Belushi ran for years and was based on a group of Cub fans who frequented the club 's games . The group was started in 1967 by dedicated fans Ron Grousl , Tom Nall and `` mad bugler '' Mike Murphy , who was a sports radio host during mid days on Chicago - based WSCR AM 670 `` The Score '' . Murphy alleges that Grousl started the Wrigley tradition of throwing back opposing teams ' home run balls . The current group is headed by Derek Schaul ( Derek the Five Dollar Kid ) . Prior to the 2006 season , they were updated , with new shops and private bar ( The Batter 's Eye ) being added , and Bud Light bought naming rights to the bleacher section , dubbing them the Bud Light Bleachers . Bleachers at Wrigley are general admission , except during the playoffs . The bleachers have been referred to as the `` World 's Largest Beer Garden . '' A popular T - shirt ( sold inside the park and licensed by the club ) which says `` Wrigley Bleachers '' on the front and the phrase `` Shut Up and Drink Your Beer '' on the reverse fuels this stereotype . Culture Cubs win flag Cubs Win Flag Cubs Lose Flag Main article : Cubs Win Flag Beginning in the days of P.K. Wrigley and the 1937 bleacher / scoreboard reconstruction , and prior to modern media saturation , a flag with either a `` W '' or an `` L '' has flown from atop the scoreboard masthead , indicating the day 's result ( s ) when baseball was played at Wrigley . In case of a split doubleheader , both the `` W '' and `` L '' flags are flown . Past Cubs media guides show that originally the flags were blue with a white `` W '' and white with a blue `` L '' . In 1978 , consistent with the dominant colors of the flags , blue and white lights were mounted atop the scoreboard , denoting `` win '' and `` loss '' respectively for the benefit of nighttime passers - by . The flags were replaced by 1990 , the first year in which the Cubs media guide reports the switch to the now familiar colors of the flags : White with blue `` W '' and blue with white `` L '' . In addition to needing to replace the worn - out flags , by then the retired numbers of Banks and Williams were flying on the foul poles , as white with blue numbers ; so the `` good '' flag was switched to match that scheme . This long - established tradition has evolved to fans carrying the white - with - blue - W flags to both home and away games , and displaying them after a Cub win . The flags have become more and more popular each season since 1998 , and are now even sold as T - shirts with the same layout . In 2009 , the tradition spilled over to the NHL as Chicago Blackhawks fans adopted a red and black `` W '' flag of their own . During the early and mid-2000s , Chip Caray usually declared that a Cubs win at home meant it was `` White flag time at Wrigley ! '' More recently , the Cubs have promoted the phrase `` Fly the W ! '' among fans and on social media . Mascots Clark ( left ) with the Oriole Bird See also : Clark ( mascot ) The official Cubs team mascot is a young bear cub , named Clark , described by the team 's press release as a young and friendly Cub . Clark made his debut at Advocate Health Care on January 13 , 2014 , the same day as the press release announcing his installation as the club 's first ever official physical mascot . The bear cub itself was used in the clubs since the early 1900s and was the inspiration of the Chicago Staleys changing their team 's name to the Chicago Bears , because the Cubs allowed the football team to play at Wrigley Field in the 1930s . The Cubs had no official physical mascot prior to Clark , though a man in a ' polar bear ' looking outfit , called `` The Bear - man '' ( or Beeman ) , which was mildly popular with the fans , paraded the stands briefly in the early 1990s . There is no record of whether or not he was just a fan in a costume or employed by the club . Through the 2013 season , there were `` Cubbie - bear '' mascots outside of Wrigley on game day , but none were employed by the team . They pose for pictures with fans for tips . The most notable of these was `` Billy Cub '' who worked outside of the stadium for over six years until July 2013 , when the club asked him to stop . Billy Cub , who is played by fan John Paul Weier , had unsuccessfully petitioned the team to become the official mascot . Another unofficial but much more well - known mascot is Ronnie `` Woo Woo '' Wickers who is a longtime fan and local celebrity in the Chicago area . He is known to Wrigley Field visitors for his idiosyncratic cheers at baseball games , generally punctuated with an exclamatory `` Woo ! '' ( e.g. , `` Cubs , woo ! Cubs , woo ! Big - Z , woo ! Zambrano , woo ! Cubs , woo ! '' ) Longtime Cubs announcer Harry Caray dubbed Wickers `` Leather Lungs '' for his ability to shout for hours at a time . He is not employed by the team , although the club has on two separate occasions allowed him into the broadcast booth and allow him some degree of freedom once he purchases or is given a ticket by fans to get into the games . He is largely allowed to roam the park and interact with fans by Wrigley Field security . Music During the summer of 1969 , a Chicago studio group produced a single record called `` Hey Hey ! Holy Mackerel ! ( The Cubs Song ) '' whose title and lyrics incorporated the catch - phrases of the respective TV and radio announcers for the Cubs , Jack Brickhouse and Vince Lloyd . Several members of the Cubs recorded an album called Cub Power which contained a cover of the song . The song received a good deal of local airplay that summer , associating it very strongly with that bittersweet season . It was played much less frequently thereafter , although it remained an unofficial Cubs theme song for some years after . For many years , Cubs radio broadcasts started with `` It 's a Beautiful Day for a Ball Game '' by the Harry Simeone Chorale . In 1979 , Roger Bain released a 45 rpm record of his song `` Thanks Mr. Banks '' , to honor `` Mr. Cub '' Ernie Banks . The song `` Go , Cubs , Go ! '' by Steve Goodman was recorded early in the 1984 season , and was heard frequently during that season . Goodman died in September of that year , four days before the Cubs clinched the National League Eastern Division title , their first title in 39 years . Since 1984 , the song started being played from time to time at Wrigley Field ; since 2007 , the song has been played over the loudspeakers following each Cubs home victory . The Mountain Goats recorded a song entitled `` Cubs in Five '' on its 1995 EP Nine Black Poppies which refers to the seeming impossibility of the Cubs winning a World Series in both its title and Chorus . In 2007 , Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder composed a song dedicated to the team called `` All the Way '' . Vedder , a Chicago native , and lifelong Cubs fan , composed the song at the request of Ernie Banks . Pearl Jam has played this song live multiple times several of which occurring at Wrigley Field . Eddie Vedder has played this song live twice , at his solo shows at the Chicago Auditorium on August 21 and 22 , 2008 . An album entitled Take Me Out to a Cubs Game was released in 2008 . It is a collection of 17 songs and other recordings related to the team , including Harry Caray 's final performance of `` Take Me Out to the Ball Game '' on September 21 , 1997 , the Steve Goodman song mentioned above , and a newly recorded rendition of `` Talkin ' Baseball '' ( subtitled `` Baseball and the Cubs '' ) by Terry Cashman . The album was produced in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Cubs ' 1908 World Series victory and contains sounds and songs of the Cubs and Wrigley Field . Popular culture The 1989 film Back to the Future Part II depicts the Chicago Cubs defeating a baseball team from Miami in the 2015 World Series , ending the longest championship drought in all four of the major North American professional sports leagues . In 2015 , the Miami Marlins failed to make the playoffs but the Cubs were able to make it to the 2015 National League Wild Card round and move on to the 2015 National League Championship Series by October 21 , 2015 , the date where protagonist Marty McFly traveled to the future in the film . However , it was on October 21 that the Cubs were swept by the New York Mets in the NLCS . The 1993 film Rookie of the Year , directed by Daniel Stern , centers on the Cubs as a team going nowhere into August when the team chances upon 12 - year - old Cubs fan Henry Rowengartner ( Thomas Ian Nicholas ) , whose right ( throwing ) arm tendons have healed tightly after a broken arm and granted him the ability to regularly pitch at speeds in excess of 100 mph . Following the Cubs ' win over the Indians in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series , Nicholas , in celebration , tweeted the final shot from the movie : Henry holding his fist up to the camera to show a Cubs World Series ring . Tinker to Evers to Chance `` Baseball 's Sad Lexicon , '' also known as `` Tinker to Evers to Chance '' after its refrain , is a 1910 baseball poem by Franklin Pierce Adams . The poem is presented as a single , rueful stanza from the point of view of a New York Giants fan seeing the talented Chicago Cubs infield of shortstop Joe Tinker , second baseman Johnny Evers , and first baseman Frank Chance complete a double play . The trio began playing together with the Cubs in 1902 , and formed a double play combination that lasted through April 1912 . The Cubs won the pennant four times between 1906 and 1910 , often defeating the Giants en route to the World Series . Joe Tinker , Johnny Evers , and Frank Chance are the three Cubs described in the poem . These are the saddest of possible words : `` Tinker to Evers to Chance . '' Trio of bear cubs , and fleeter than birds , Tinker and Evers and Chance . Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble , Making a Giant hit into a double -- Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble : `` Tinker to Evers to Chance .

Ryne Sandberg managed the Chiefs from 2006 to 2010 . In the period between those associations with the Chiefs the club had affiliations with the Dayton Dragons and Lansing Lugnuts . The Lugnuts were often affectionately referred to by Chip Caray as `` Steve Stone 's favorite team . '' The 2007 developmental contract with the Tennessee Smokies was preceded by Double A affiliations with the Orlando Cubs and West Tenn Diamond Jaxx . On September 16 , 2014 the Cubs announced a move of their top Class A affiliate from Daytona in the Florida State League to Myrtle Beach in the Carolina League for the 2015 season . Two days later , the Cubs signed a four - year player development contract with the South Bend Silver Hawks of the Midwest League , ending their brief relationship with the Kane County Cougars and shortly thereafter renaming the Silver Hawks the South Bend Cubs . Spring training history The Chicago White Stockings , ( today 's Chicago Cubs ) , began spring training in Hot Springs , Arkansas in 1886 . President Albert Spalding ( founder of Spalding Sporting Goods ) and player / manager Cap Anson brought their players to Hot Springs and played at the Hot Springs Baseball Grounds . The concept was for the players to have training and fitness before the start of the regular season , utilizing the bath houses of Hot Springs after practices . After the White Stockings had a successful season in 1886 , winning the National League Pennant , other teams began bringing their players to Hot Springs for `` spring training '' . The Chicago Cubs , St. Louis Browns , New York Yankees , St. Louis Cardinals , Cleveland Spiders , Detroit Tigers , Pittsburgh Pirates , Cincinnati Reds , New York Highlanders , Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Red Sox were among the early squads to arrive . Whittington Park ( 1894 ) and later Majestic Park ( 1909 ) and Fogel Field ( 1912 ) were all built in Hot Springs specifically to host Major League teams . The Cubs ' current spring training facility is located in Sloan Park in Mesa , Arizona , where they play in the Cactus League . The park seats 15,000 , making it Major League baseball 's largest spring training facility by capacity . The Cubs annually sell out most of their games both at home and on the road . Before Sloan Park opened in 2014 , the team played games at HoHoKam Park -- Dwight Patterson Field from 1979 . `` HoHoKam '' is literally translated from Native American as `` those who vanished . '' The North Siders have called Mesa their spring home for most seasons since 1952 . In addition to Mesa , the club has held spring training in Hot Springs , Arkansas ( 1886 , 1896 -- 1900 ) , ( 1909 -- 1910 ) New Orleans ( 1870 , 1907 , 1911 -- 1912 ) ; Champaign , Illinois ( 1901 -- 02 , 1906 ) ; Los Angeles ( 1903 -- 04 , 1948 -- 1949 ) , Santa Monica , California ( 1905 ) ; French Lick , Indiana ( 1908 , 1943 -- 1945 ) ; Tampa , Florida ( 1913 -- 1916 ) ; Pasadena , California ( 1917 -- 1921 ) ; Santa Catalina Island , California ( 1922 -- 1942 , 1946 -- 1947 , 1950 -- 1951 ) ; Rendezvous Park in Mesa ( 1952 -- 1965 ) ; Blair Field in Long Beach , California ( 1966 ) ; and Scottsdale , Arizona ( 1967 -- 1978 ) . The curious location on Catalina Island stemmed from Cubs owner William Wrigley Jr. 's then - majority interest in the island in 1919 . Wrigley constructed a ballpark on the island to house the Cubs in spring training : it was built to the same dimensions as Wrigley Field . The ballpark was called Wrigley Field of Avalon . ( The ballpark is long gone , but a clubhouse built by Wrigley to house the Cubs exists as the Catalina County Club . ) However , by 1951 the team chose to leave Catalina Island and spring training was shifted to Mesa , Arizona . The Cubs ' 30 - year association with Catalina is chronicled in the book , The Cubs on Catalina , by Jim Vitti , which was named International ' Book of the Year ' by The Sporting News . The Cubs left Catalina after some bad weather in 1951 , choosing to move to Mesa , a city where the Wrigleys also had interests . Today , there is an exhibit at the Catalina Museum dedicated to the Cubs ' spring training on the island . The former location in Mesa is actually the second HoHoKam Park ; the first was built in 1976 as the spring - training home of the Oakland Athletics who left the park in 1979 . Apart from HoHoKam Park and Sloan Park the Cubs also have another Mesa training facility called Fitch Park , this complex provides 25,000 square feet ( 2,300 m ) of team facilities , including major league clubhouse , four practice fields , one practice infield , enclosed batting tunnels , batting cages , a maintenance facility , and administrative offices for the Cubs . Media Radio Cubs radio rights are held by CBS Radio ; its acquisition of the radio rights effective 2015 ended the team 's 90 - year association with 720 WGN . During the first season of the contract , Cubs games aired on WBBM , taking over as flagship of the Chicago Cubs Radio Network . On November 11 , 2015 , CBS announced that the Cubs would move to WBBM 's all - sports sister station , WSCR , beginning in the 2016 season . The move was enabled by WSCR 's end of their rights agreement for the White Sox , who moved to WLS . The play - by - play voice of the Cubs is Pat Hughes , who has held the position since 1996 , joined by Ron Coomer . Former Cubs third baseman and fan favorite Ron Santo had been Hughes ' long - time partner until his death in 2010 . Keith Moreland replaced Hall of Fame inductee Santo for three seasons , followed by Coomer for the 2014 season . Print The club also produces its own print media ; the Cubs ' official magazine Vineline , which has 12 annual issues , is in its third decade , and spotlights players and events involving the club . The club also publishes a traditional media guide . Television Main article : List of Chicago Cubs broadcasters As of September 1 , 2016 , Cubs games air locally on the following outlets : Comcast SportsNet Chicago , a cable network owned in part by NBCUniversal and the Ricketts family . It broadcasts all Cubs games not broadcast over-the - air , or nationally by Major League Baseball 's television partners . WGN - TV ( channel 9.1 ) , a Tribune Media - owned over-the - air station that has aired Cubs telecasts since its inception in 1948 ; WGN - TV 's Cubs telecasts are produced by the station 's sports department , WGN Sports . In November 2013 , the team exercised an option to terminate its existing deal with WGN - TV after the 2014 season , requesting a higher - valued contract lasting through the 2019 season ( which would be aligned with the end of its contract with CSN Chicago ) . WGN - TV announced on January 7 , 2015 that it would maintain broadcast rights to 45 Cubs games through the 2019 season within the Chicago market only . WLS - TV ( channel 7.1 ) , an ABC owned - and - operated station . It was announced on December 12 , 2014 that the station would acquire rights to 25 games per season through 2019 . Prior to September 1 , 2016 , when WGN - TV ended their CW affiliation to return to being an independent station , several games in the WGN package since 2015 were sub-licensed to Fox Television Stations - owned MyNetworkTV station WPWR - TV ( channel 50.1 ) , due to CW pre-emption limits which precluded airing on WGN - TV . These games returned full - time to WGN - TV upon that date , when WPWR assumed the market 's CW affiliation and WGN was no longer limited by a network . In previous years , the sublicensed games were carried by WCIU - TV ( channel 26.1 ) under the branding of `` CubsNet '' . WGN 's Cubs games formerly aired nationally on WGN America ; however , prior to the 2015 season , the Cubs , as well as all other Chicago sports programming , was dropped from the channel as part of its re-positioning as a general entertainment cable channel . To compensate , all games carried by over-the - air channels are syndicated to a network of other television stations within the Cubs ' region , which includes Illinois and parts of Indiana and Iowa . All of the team 's current television contracts end after the 2019 season . The Chicago Tribune reported that following the end of these contracts , the team may consider launching its own regional sports network . These goals were confirmed by president of business operations Crane Kenney on November 16 , 2015 in an interview with WSCR radio . Len Kasper has been the Cubs ' television play - by - play announcer since 2005 and was joined by Jim Deshaies in 2013 . Bob Brenly ( analyst , 2005 -- 12 ) , Chip Caray ( play - by - play , 1998 -- 2004 ) , Steve Stone ( analyst , 1983 -- 2000 , 2003 -- 04 ) , Joe Carter ( analyst for WGN - TV games , 2001 -- 02 ) and Dave Otto ( analyst for FSN Chicago games , 2001 -- 02 ) also have spent time broadcasting from the Cubs booth since the death of Harry Caray in 1998 .

Frick Award recipients Affiliation according to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum Bob Elson Jack Brickhouse Harry Caray Milo Hamilton Names in bold received the award based primarily on their work as broadcasters for the Cubs .

"The Cubs have appeared in a total of eleven World Series. The 1906 Cubs won 116 games, finishing 116–36 and posting a modern-era record winning percentage of .763, before losing the World Series to the Chicago White Sox (\"The Hitless Wonders\") by four games to two. The Cubs won back-to-back World Series championships in 1907 and 1908, becoming the first major league team to play in three consecutive World Series, and the first to win it twice. Most recently, the Cubs won the 2016 National League Championship Series and 2016 World Series, which ended a 71-year National League pennant drought and a 108-year World Series championship drought,[3] both of which are record droughts in Major League Baseball.[4][5] The 108-year drought was also the longest such occurrence in all major North American sports. Since the start of divisional play in 1969, the Cubs have appeared in the postseason eight times through the 2016 season.[3][6]"

Ted and The Mother meet at the Farhampton train station following Barney Stinson and Robin Scherbatsky 's wedding ; this scene is shown in `` Last Forever '' , the series finale . The Mother 's death from an unspecified terminal illness in 2024 , also revealed in the series finale , received a mixed reaction from fans . An alternate ending was released in the ninth season DVD . In the alternate ending , Tracy Mosby is still living when Ted is telling the story in 2030 . In the video , future Ted is heard saying , `` ... When I think how lucky I am to wake up next to your mom every morning , I ca n't help but be amazed how easy it all really was ... '' , indirectly stating that The Mother is alive . The video ends right after the train passes at Farhampton station and credits start rolling , implying that Ted never went back to Robin as he lived a successful married life with Tracy Mosby . Contents ( hide ) 1 Casting 2 Character history 2.1 Name 3 Death 4 Notes 5 References Casting ( edit ) During its first eight seasons , the successful sitcom How I Met Your Mother often hinted at the unseen character of The Mother . Well - known actresses often made guest appearances on the show . Many fans expected that another would play one of the most - wanted roles in Hollywood , but creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas wanted an unknown . Using Anne Hathaway and Amy Adams as examples , Thomas said that `` We did n't want it to be a big famous star because we did n't want the wider audience to have associations with whatever actress this would be ... The whole idea is that Ted 's never seen this woman before , so it better feel that way to the audience '' , similar to how Cobie Smulders being cast as Robin Scherbatsky had `` kept the show alive '' when it began . Bays and Thomas also did not want a large casting call . They chose Cristin Milioti after seeing her on 30 Rock and Once ; her musical ability was also helpful , as The Mother had been described as a band member . After competing for the role against at least two others , Milioti filmed her first scene -- for the last episode of season 8 -- having never watched How I Met Your Mother ; she recalled , `` I had ignorance on my side . So I did n't know what it meant . '' Milioti learned of the character 's importance only after binge watching the show during the summer . Character history ( edit ) The Mother was born on September 19 , 1984 . The Mother , joined by her roommate Kelly awaits the arrival of her boyfriend Max only to receive a call informing her of his death . After the funeral service , she returns to the apartment to open Max 's last gift to her -- a ukulele . The Mother spends the next few years grieving the passing of the man she believes was her one true love . In `` Wait for It '' , it is revealed that the short story of how they met involved her yellow umbrella . In `` No Tomorrow '' , Ted finds the umbrella at a club and takes it home after attending a St. Patrick 's Day party which she also attended , as it had been two and a half years since the death of Max , her late boyfriend . She is still grieving , but her roommate Kelly encourages her to go out and date again , bringing her to the same bar where Ted and Barney are celebrating . The two women run into Mitch , her old orchestra instructor ; The Mother offers to give Mitch her cello for his work at a school and they head to her apartment . After they start talking , Mitch encourages her to pursue her dreams . The Mother expresses her desire to end poverty by taking up economics in college . On his first day of teaching as Professor Mosby , as seen in the season 4 finale `` The Leap '' , he is seen in front of the classroom of students , one of which Future Ted says is the titular mother . But in the first episode of season 5 , `` Definitions '' , it is revealed that he was actually in the wrong classroom -- Economics instead of Architecture . At the same time in `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , the Mother sits her first session in Economics 305 and meets another graduate student named Cindy ( Rachel Bilson ) , whom she offers to move in with her as her roommate . They see Ted enter the room , but when he announces the subject , The Mother thinks she is in the wrong room and runs off . She heads back to the room after seeing Ted scramble to his actual classroom . Later , in `` Girls Versus Suits '' , Ted dates Cindy , not knowing that her roommate is his future wife . Throughout the episode , Ted notes that Cindy had spent most of their first date talking jealously about her roommate . When in Cindy and the mother 's apartment he picks up many of The Mother 's belongings , attempting to show how compatible he and Cindy are ( thinking the items are Cindy 's ) and glimpses the mother 's foot as she disappears into her room after taking a shower . Ted finds out at this time that she plays bass guitar in a band . Ted forgets to take the yellow umbrella with him when he goes out and Future Ted mentions , `` this is how your mother got her yellow umbrella back . '' In `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , it is revealed that , after Ted left the apartment , the Mother had discovered the umbrella and , upon going to question Cindy , finds her in a state . As she tried to console her , Cindy said that she was a much better match for Ted , and began to lovingly list all of the reasons that Ted would find the mother attractive , before spontaneously kissing her , revealing that her jealousy towards her roommate was actually a crush . While this incident made Cindy realise that she is a lesbian , it also made the Mother decide to go back into dating , as the kiss was her first in a long time . Some time after this , a man named Darren approaches The Mother and is welcomed into her band named Superfreakonomics . Darren gradually takes over the band . In the season 6 opener `` Big Days '' it is revealed Ted meets his future wife `` the day of '' the wedding at which he is the best man . In the episode `` False Positive '' Robin asks Ted to be her future best man , should she ever get married . In the episode `` Challenge Accepted '' , it is revealed that Ted meets the mother of his children the day of Barney 's wedding . In the last episode of season 7 , `` The Magician 's Code '' it is shown that Barney will marry Robin , and Ted will meet the mother `` the day of '' their wedding . On the premiere of season 8 , Ted 's wife appears after Barney and Robin 's wedding , outside at the `` Farhampton '' station while holding a yellow umbrella and her bass guitar . In the season 8 episode `` Band or DJ ? , '' Ted runs into Cindy on the subway and tells her that the band Barney and Robin hired to play at their wedding cancelled at the last minute . The end result of the encounter is that Cindy 's ( now ex - ) roommate 's band plays at Barney and Robin 's wedding . The Mother is first shown meeting Louis in `` How Your Mother Met Me '' as she is left to carry the band equipment while the now - lead band member Darren talks to his fans . Later at MacLaren 's Pub , she tells him she 's not yet ready to date . Louis asks her to give him a call if she changes her mind and they begin dating not long after . The Mother meets all of Ted 's best friends ( Barney , Lily , Marshall and Robin ) before she meets him . The Mother is responsible for convincing Barney to pursue Robin , as revealed through a flashback in `` Platonish '' . In `` The Locket '' , Tracy meets Lily on a train journey . In `` Bass Player Wanted '' , the Mother picks up a hitchhiking Marshall , carrying his son Marvin , on her way to Farhampton Inn . On their way , it is revealed that the Mother is a bass player in the band , that is scheduled to play at the wedding reception . But the band 's leader , Darren , forced her to quit . The Mother ultimately decides to confront Darren and retake the band . She ends up alone at the bar , and while practicing a speech to give Darren , Darren walks up to her furious the groom 's best man punched him for `` no reason . '' Amused by this , the Mother laughs , and Darren quits the band in anger . In `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , it is shown that after this incident , the Mother returns to Louis ' summer cottage not far from the Farhampton Inn where she has been staying for the duration of the wedding weekend . As she walks in the door , Louis proposes to her , but she goes outside to think about it for a few minutes . She declines Louis ' proposal and leaves his cottage , going to check in at Farhampton Inn . On her room 's balcony , she plays the ukulele and sings `` La Vie en Rose '' . Ted hears her singing from his room next door . In `` Gary Blauman '' , Ted and the Mother are on their first date . Ted picks her up at her New York City apartment and they proceed to walk to a Scottish - Mexican fusion restaurant for dinner . On the way there , Ted is telling her a story when they nearly have a run - in with Louis . She says that she is in the `` weirdest place on earth '' right now and that it is too soon for her to be dating . Ted walks her back to her apartment . They say goodnight and Ted begins to walk away . The Mother then stops him and asks him to finish the story he was telling her . When the story is over , they say goodnight again . The Mother takes a step towards Ted and they kiss for the first time , before deciding to carry on their date . In a flashforward in `` The Lighthouse '' , Ted proposes to the Mother at the top of the lighthouse near Farhampton Inn . She immediately accepts . In another flashfoward in `` Unpause '' , the Mother is revealed to be pregnant with their second child , Luke , in the year 2017 . She goes into labor while she and Ted are staying at Farhampton . Name ( edit ) The Mother 's real name is not revealed until the series finale , `` Last Forever '' . When Ted meets her at the Farhampton train station , she reveals that her name is Tracy McConnell . In the season 1 episode `` Belly Full of Turkey '' , Ted meets a stripper named Tracy and says `` ... that , kids , is the true story of how I met your mother '' . The children react in surprise and appear to believe Ted before he admits he is joking , which led some fans to correctly guess that The Mother 's name is Tracy . Death ( edit ) See also : Last Forever In the series finale , it is revealed that six years prior to Ted telling the story to his children , Tracy died in 2024 from an undisclosed illness . In the finale the characters do not directly state that the mother is dead . Ted says that she `` became sick '' and his children saying that she has been `` gone '' for six years . Many fans expressed considerable disappointment to The Mother 's death . Milioti cried when she learned her character was supposed to die , but came to accept the ending was what the writers had planned from the beginning . Bill Kuchman from Popculturology said that The Mother was `` an amazing character '' and that `` over the course of this final season HIMYM made us care about Tracy . Kuchman said that `` asking fans to drop all of that with a simple line about The Mother getting sick and passing away was a very difficult request '' , that the finale `` advanced too quickly '' and that `` HIMYM was a victim of its own success on this issue '' . A petition was started , aiming to rewrite and reshoot the finale . The petition has over 20,000 signatures and considerable online news coverage . On April 5 , 2014 , Carter Bays announced on Twitter that an alternate ending would be included on the Season 9 DVD . No new material was shot for this scene . In the alternate ending , the mother is still living when Ted is telling the story in 2030 . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ The Mother celebrates her 21st birthday on the day that `` Pilot '' is set .

9181873088787791869 | Timeline of the name "Palestine" | Timeline of the name `` Palestine '' - wikipedia Timeline of the name `` Palestine '' Further information : Time periods in the Palestine region and Names of the Levant § Philistia and Palestine Adriaan Reland 's 1712 Palaestina ex Monumentis Veteribus Illustrata ( Palestine 's Ancient Monuments Illustrated ) contains an early description and timeline of the historical references to the name `` Palestine '' . This article presents a list of notable historical references to the name Palestine as a place name in the Middle East throughout the history of the region , including its cognates such as `` Filastin '' and `` Palaestina '' . The term `` Peleset '' ( transliterated from hieroglyphs as P-r-s-t ) is found in five inscriptions referring to a neighboring people or land starting from circa 1150 BC during the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt . The first known mention is at the temple at Medinet Habu which refers to the Peleset among those who fought with Egypt in Ramesses III 's reign , and the last known is 300 years later on Padiiset 's Statue . The Assyrians called the same region `` Palashtu / Palastu '' or `` Pilistu '' , beginning with Adad - nirari III in the Nimrud Slab in c. 800 BC through to an Esarhaddon treaty more than a century later . Neither the Egyptian nor the Assyrian sources provided clear regional boundaries for the term . The first appearance of the term `` Palestine '' was in 5th century BC Ancient Greece when Herodotus wrote of a `` district of Syria , called Palaistinê '' between Phoenicia and Egypt in The Histories . Herodotus was describing the coastal region , but is also considered to have applied the term to the inland region such as the Judean mountains and the Jordan Rift Valley . Later Greek writers such as Aristotle , Polemon and Pausanias also used the word , which was followed by Roman writers such as Ovid , Tibullus , Pomponius Mela , Pliny the Elder , Dio Chrysostom , Statius , Plutarch as well as Roman Judean writers Philo of Alexandria and Josephus . The word was never used in an official context during the Hellenistic period , and is not found on any Hellenistic coin or inscription , first coming into official use in the early second century AD . It has been contended that in the first century authors still associated the term with the southern coastal region . In 135 AD , the Greek `` Syria Palaestina '' was used in naming a new Roman province from the merger of Roman Syria and Roman Judaea after the Roman authorities crushed the Bar Kokhba Revolt . There is no evidence as to who was responsible for the name change , but circumstantial evidence links Hadrian to it , and the precise date is not certain . The common view that the name change was intended `` sever the connection of the Jews to their historical homeland '' is disputed . During the Byzantine period c. 390 , the imperial province of Syria Palaestina was reorganized into : Palaestina Prima , Palaestina Secunda , and Palaestina Salutaris . Following the Muslim conquest , place names that were in use by the Byzantine administration generally continued to be used in Arabic . The use of the name `` Palestine '' became common in Early Modern English , was used in English and Arabic during the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem . In the 20th century the name was used by the British to refer to `` Mandatory Palestine '' , a mandate from the former Ottoman Empire which had been divided in the Sykes -- Picot Agreement . The term was later used in the eponymous `` State of Palestine '' . Both incorporated geographic regions from the land commonly known as Palestine , into a new state whose territory was named Palestine .

Murray , 1897 ) c. 450 BC : Herodotus , The Histories , First historical reference clearly denoting a wider region than biblical Philistia , referring to a `` district of Syria , called Palaistinê '' ( Book 3 ) : `` The country reaching from the city of Posideium to the borders of Egypt ... paid a tribute of three hundred and fifty talents . All Phoenicia , Palestine Syria , and Cyprus , were herein contained . This was the fifth satrapy . '' ; ( Book 4 ) : `` the region I am describing skirts our sea , stretching from Phoenicia along the coast of Palestine - Syria till it comes to Egypt , where it terminates '' ; ( Book 7 ) : `` ( The Phoenicians and the Syrians of Palestine ) , according to their own account , dwelt anciently upon the Erythraean Sea , but crossing thence , fixed themselves on the seacoast of Syria , where they still inhabit . This part of Syria , and all the region extending from hence to Egypt , is known by the name of Palestine . '' One important reference refers to the practice of male circumcision associated with the Hebrew people : `` the Colchians , the Egyptians , and the Ethiopians , are the only nations who have practised circumcision from the earliest times . The Phoenicians and the Syrians of Palestine themselves confess that they learnt the custom of the Egyptians ... Now these are the only nations who use circumcision '' c. 340 BC : Aristotle , Meteorology , `` Again if , as is fabled , there is a lake in Palestine , such that if you bind a man or beast and throw it in it floats and does not sink , this would bear out what we have said . They say that this lake is so bitter and salt that no fish live in it and that if you soak clothes in it and shake them it cleans them . '' This is understood by scholars to be a reference to the Dead Sea Hellenic kingdoms ( ptolemaic / seleucid / hasmonean ) period c. 150 BC : Polemon of Athens , Greek Histories , quoted by Eusebius of Caesarea in Praeparatio Evangelica : `` In the time ( reign ) of Apis son of Phoroneus a part of the Egyptian army was expelled from Egypt , who took up their abode not far from Arabia in the part of Syria called Palestine '' c. 130 BC : Agatharchides ( 5.87 , quoted in Diodorus Siculus 's Bibliotheca historica ; Strabo 's Geographica , and Photios ' Bibliotheca ) : `` Near ( Tiran ) island is a promontory , which stretches towards the Rock of the Nabataeans and Palestine '' .

This , therefore , is what Herodotus says , that `` the Syrians that are in Palestine are circumcised '' . But there are no inhabitants of Palestine that are circumcised excepting the Jews ; and , therefore , it must be his knowledge of them that enabled him to speak so much concerning them . '' c. 94 : Josephus , Antiquities of the Jews : `` ... these Antiquities contain what hath been delivered down to us from the original creation of man , until the twelfth year of the reign of Nero , as to what hath befallen us Jews , as well is Egypt as in Syria , and in Palestine '' c. 100 : Statius , Silvae , refers to `` liquores Palestini '' and `` Isis , ... gently with thine own hand lead the peerless youth , on whom the Latian prince hath bestowed the standards of the East and the bridling of the cohorts of Palestine , ( i.e. , a command on the Syrian front ) through festal gate and sacred haven and the cities of thy land . '' c. 100 : Plutarch , Parallel Lives : `` Armenia , where Tigranes reigns , king of kings , and holds in his hands a power that has enabled him to keep the Parthians in narrow bounds , to remove Greek cities bodily into Media , to conquer Syria and Palestine , to put to death the kings of the royal line of Seleucus , and carry away their wives and daughters by violence . '' and `` The triumph ( of Pompey ) was so great , that though it was divided into two days , the time was far from being sufficient for displaying what was prepared to be carried in procession ; there remained still enough to adorn another triumph . At the head of the show appeared the titles of the conquered nations ; Pontus Armenia , Cappadocia , Paphlagonia , Media , Colchis , the Iberians , the Albanians , Syria , Cilicia , Mesopotamia , Phoenicia , Palestine , Judea , Arabia , the pirates subdued both by sea and land . '' c. 100 : Achilles Tatius , Leucippe and Cleitophon and other love stories in eight books : `` Your father did not return from his absence in Palestine until two days later ; and he then found a letter had arrived from Leucippe 's father -- it had come the very day after our flight -- betrothing his daughter to you . '' Roman Aelia Capitolina period Palestine in c. 150 AD according to Ptolemy ( map by Claude Reignier Conder of the Palestine Exploration Fund ) `` Syria Palaestin ( a ) '' mentioned in a 139 AD Roman military diploma c. 129 or 135 : Syria Palæstina was a Roman province between 135 and about 390 . It was established by the merge of Roman Syria and Roman Judaea , shortly before or after the Bar Kokhba Revolt . There is only circumstantial evidence linking Hadrian with the name change and the precise date is not certain . The common view that the name change was intended `` sever the connection of the Jews to their historical homeland '' is disputed . Zachary Foster in his Princeton doctoral dissertation wrote that `` Most scholars believe the Roman Emperor Hadrian changed the provincial administrative name of Judaea to Palestine to erase the Jewish presence in the land '' , opining that `` it 's equally likely the name change had little to do with Jew hatred and more to do with Hadrian 's romance with ancient Greece . '' He adds , there is a `` paucity of direct evidence around who made the change , when and under what circumstances '' , and that it may be that Hadrian did not `` rename '' the country but simply `` called the place what it was called '' . Louis Feldman argues prior to change of province name the term was used to refer to the coastal region associated with the Philistines and that first century authors differentiated Judea from Palestine . 139 : A Roman military diploma from Afiq names military units `` in Syria Palaestin ( a ) '' . c. 130 : Pausanias ( geographer ) , Description of Greece : ( 1 ) `` Hard by is a sanctuary of the Heavenly Aphrodite ; the first men to establish her cult were the Assyrians , after the Assyrians the Paphians of Cyprus and the Phoenicians who live at Ascalon in Palestine ; the Phoenicians taught her worship to the people of Cythera .

One other name he uses for the country is the Holy Land , used as frequently as Palestine . No other names , such as Southern Syria , are ever mentioned ... What area did he have in mind when speaking about Palestine ? It stretched from Anaj , a point near al - Arish , to Lajjun , south of the Esdraelon valley .

A diversity of religious systems divides them , as well as all the other nations on the earth , who give too much importance to the spirit of theological dispute .

Sometimes it has governors of its own , who reside at Gaza under the title of Pachas ; but it is usually , as at present , divided into three appanages , or Melkana , viz . Yafa , Loudd , and Gaza . The former belongs to the Walda or sultana mother . The captain Pacha has received the two others as a recompence for his services , and a reward for the head of Daher . He farms them to an aga , who resides at Ramla , and pays him two hundred and fifteen purses for them , viz . one hundred and eighty for Gaza and Ramla , and thirty - five for Loudd .

The corn before it changes colour , is reaped , but concealed in subterraneous caverns . The whole industry of the peasant is limited to a supply of his immediate wants ; and to procure a little bread , a few onions , a wretched blue shirt , and a bit of woollen , much labour is not necessary . 1822 : Conrad Malte - Brun , Universal Geography , Or , a Description of All the Parts of the World , on a New Plan : BOOK XXVII . TURKEY IN ASIA . PART II . Including Armenia Mesopotamia and Irac Arabi . The eastern provinces of the Turkish empire in Asia form three natural divisions : the region of Orontes and Libanus , or Syria and Palestine ; that of the sources of the Euphrates and of the Tigris , or Armenia with Koordistan ; finally , the region of Lower Euphrates , or Al - Djesira with Irac - Arabi , otherwise Mesopotamia , and Babylonia . We shall here connect the two divisions on the Euphrates , without confounding them . Syria will be described in a separate book . ( ... ) Population . It would be vain to expect a near approximation to the truth in any conjectures which we might indulge respecting the population of a state in which registers and a regular census are unknown . Some writers estimate that of European Turkey at twenty - two , while others have reduced it to eight millions ( Bruns . Magas . Géograph . I. cah. 1 . p. 68 -- 74 . compared with Ludeck 's Authentic Account of the Ottoman Empire . Etton 's View and de Tott 's Memoirs . ) , and both assign equally plausible grounds for their opinions . Respecting Asiatic Turkey , the uncertainty , if not still greater , is at least more generally acknowledged . Supposing the houses to be as thinly scattered as in the less populous parts of Spain , the population of all Turkey , in Europe , Asia , and Africa , may amount to 25 or 30 millions , of which one half belongs to Asia . Under the want of any thing like positive evidence , we shall not deviate far from probability in allowing to Anatolia , five millions ; to Armenia , two ; to Koordistan , one ; to the pashâlics of Bagdat , Mosul , and Diarbekir , one and a half ; and to Syria 1,800,000 , or at most two millions . 1822 : James Silk Buckingham , Travels in Palestine , through the countries of Bashan and Gilead , east of the river Jordan : incl . a visit to the cities of Geraza and Gamala , in the Decapolis : St. Jerome conceived it ( Ramla ) to be the Arimathea of the Scriptures ; and Adrichomius , who entertained a similar opinion , traces its various names through all their changes , from Ramathaim and Ramah , as it is called in the Old Testament , to Ramatha or Armatha the seat of Samuel , as Josephus has it , and to the Arimathea of the New Testament , and the Ramla of the present day . The oriental geographers speak of this as the metropolis of Palestine , and every appearance of its ruins even now confirm the opinion of its having been once a considerable city . Its situation , as lying immediately in the high road from Jaffa to Jerusalem , made it necessarily a place of great resort ; and from the fruitfulness of the country around it , it must have been equally important as a military station or a depôt for supplies , and as a magazine for the collection of such articles of commerce as were exported from the coast .

Generally speaking , I think they are disposed to be rather of a plethoric habit ; and the admirers of size and softness in the fair sex , will find as regularly well - built fatties , with double mouldings in the neck and chin , among the fair daughters of Jerusalem , as among the fairer daughters of England . 1823 : Charles Leonard Irby , James Mangles , Travels in Egypt and Nubia , Syria , and Asia Minor ; During the Years 1817 and 1818 : Our attention was the more attracted by this ( Necropolis of Petra ) monument , as it presents , perhaps , the only existing example of pyramids so applied , though we read of them as placed in a similar manner on the summit of the tomb of the Maccabees , and of the Queen of Adiabaene , both in the neighbouring province of Palestine . 1823 : Ernst Friedrich Karl Rosenmüller , `` Geographie von Palästina '' .

The Moslems alone could not hide their sorrow and sullenness ( although they danced with the rest ) , because they had a presentment that Egypt would use its power against them . They felt they could not continue to act as they wished , and that hereafter Jerusalem and all of Palestine would be reformed .

It was our intention , after exploring Palestine ( properly so called ) , to cross the Jordan , and visit Jerash '' 1838 : Humphry Davy , The collected works of Sir Humphry Davy : Palestine , a name supposed to be derived from the ancient Philistine coast , has been applied , from the earliest of modern ages , to the territory anciently assigned as the portion of the twelve tribes . The dimensions of this country do not correspond to its fame : it may be 150 miles in length north and south , and nearly as much in extreme breadth . It is bounded on the west by the Mediterranean ; on the north it ranges along the southern skirts of Libanus ; while on the east and south it passes into the Arabian desert , amid long ranges of rocky hills . Judea is a high country , rising by successive terraces from a shore that is , in many places bold and lofty . Its principal eminences , Carmel , Bashan , Tabor , do not ascend into bleak and rugged heights : they are covered with villages , rich pastures , and luxuriant woods ; on their slopes are copious vineyards , and in the clefts of the rocks numerous bees , feeding on their aromatic plants , deposit their honey . Traces are even found of a cultivation , by artificial terraces , equal to that which prevails in the most improved parts of the East . 1838 : Charles G. Addison , Damascus and Palmyra : a journey to the East : In the commencement of 1834 , insurrections broke out in the mountains of Nablous , on Djebel Khalil , and in various parts of Palestine . Some of them , it is admitted , were promoted by the lawless and the disaffected to all settled government ; others were fostered by the Sheikhs , who were discontented at their exactions from Christian pilgrims being put an end to , and many by the Bedouin Arabs and the mountaineers of Lebanon , who were discontented that the contributions they had been in the habit of imposing upon villages had been stopped . 1840 : Ferdinand de Géramb , A pilgrimage to Palestine , Egypt and Syria : And , once more , that which most contributes to render Palestine a desert is the despotic government under which it groans , and the motto of which is destruction . It can not be too often repeated -- the Porte daily puts up this wretched country to auction : the pacha who offers most becomes its tyrant . Master of the life of the Arab as well as of his camel , of his horse as well as of his tent , he marks his passage by exactions alone . At sight of his satellites coming to levy the tribute , the population of whole villages abandon their ruined dwellings ; and the poor oppressed inhabitants choose rather to die of want , in caverns of the rocks , than to expire under the bastinado of the soldier , who on his part , enraged at seeing his prey escape , revenges himself by cutting down the olive - tree of the fugitive whom he could not overtake . 1840 : George Long , Palestine & Syria , The Penny Cyclopaedia of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge : The modern history of Palestine is more conveniently included under SYRIA . The only portions of it which demand a separate notice have been treated of under Crusades . At present the country forms a part of Syria being included under the pashaliks of Damascus Akka and Tripoli and forming part of the viceroyalty of the pasha of Egypt . ( ... ) In the most usual application of the word , Syria was the district bounded by the range of Amanus on the north , by the Mediterranean on the west , by the Euphrates and the Arabian Desert on the east and south , and by the ' river of Egypt ' probably the river ( El - Arish ) on the south - west . In a still narrower sense it sometimes denoted the same district , with the exception of Phoenicia and Palestine , ( Ptol. , v. 16 . ) Herodotus , in speaking of Palestine , includes it in Syria , as a subordinate division : he calls it ' the Palestine Syria ' ( ? ? ? , ii. 106 ) . 1840 : John Kitto , The Pictorial History of Palestine and The Holy Land including a Complete History Of The Jews , Vol . I. Biblical History . Vol. II . Biblical History , Continued .

'' 1842 : Adriano Balbi , System of universal geography , founded on the works of Malte - Burn and Balbi : Cities , Towns , &c. , in Syria and Palestine . Santa Saba , 8 or 9 miles S.E. of Jerusalem , a monastery remarkable for its situation on a height , which rises precipitously several hundred feet from the deep valley of the brook Kedron . Beside it are numerous grottoes , which are said to have been inhabited by more than 10,000 monks at the epoch when St. Saba introduced the monastic life into Palestine . In continual danger from the wild Arabs , the convent appears like a fortress , with immensely strong and lofty towers . 1843 : Alexander Keith , The Land of Israel , According to the Covenant with Abraham , with Isaac , and with Jacob : Palestine abounding in cultivated and flourishing regions , has several great cities which rival each other in their excellence , viz . Caesarea , Eleutheropolis , Neapolis , Askelon , and Gaza . The region beyond the Jordan , donominated Arabia , is rich in the variety of the merchandise of which it is full ; it has besides other large towns the cities of Bostra , Gerasa , and Philadelphia , which the solidity of their walls renders most secure ( Ammianus Marcellinus , lib . xiv . cap . viii . ) . ( ... ) In Palestine , sesamum abounds , from which they procure oil , and dourra ( a kind of pulse ) as good as that of Egypt . Maize thrives in the light soil of Baalbec ; and even rice is cultivated with success on the borders of the marshy countries of Havula . They have lately begun to cultivate sugar - canes in the gardens of Saide and of Beyrout , equal to those of the Delta . Indigo grows without cultivation on the banks of the Jordan , in the country of Bisan , and needs but care to improve the quality . Tobacco is now cultivated throughout all the mountains . As for trees , the olive of Provence grows at Antioch , and at Ramla , to the height of the beech . In the white mulberry - tree consists the wealth of the whole country of the Druses , by the beautiful silk which it produces ; while the vine , supported by poles , or winding about the oaks , supplies grapes , which afford red and white wines equal to those of Bourdeaux . The water - melons of Jaffa are preferred before the very fine water melons of Broulas . Gaza produces dates like Mecca , and pomegranates like Algiers . Tripoli affords oranges like Malta . Beyrout , figs like Marseilles , and bananas like St Domingo . Aleppo has the ( not ) exclusive advantage of producing pistachios . And Damascus justly boasts of possessing all the fruits known in the provinces : its stony soil suits equally the apples of Normandy , the plums of Touraine , and the peaches of Paris . Twenty sorts of apricots aro enumerated there , the stone of one of which contains a kernel highly valued throughout Turkey . The cochineal plant , which grows on all that coast contains , perhaps , that precious insect in as high perfection as it is found in Mexico and St Domingo ; and if we consider that the mountains of Yemen , which produce such excellent coffee are only a continuation of those of Syria , and that their soil and climate are almost the same , we shall be induced to believe that in Judea particularly , might be easily cultivated this valuable production of Arabia . `` With these advantages of climate and soil , it is not surprising that Syria should always have been reckoned a most delicious country and that the Greeks and Romans esteemed it among the most beautiful of their provinces and equal even to Egypt '' ( Volney 's Trav . vol . i . pp. 316 -- 321 . English translation ) . 1843 : Origen Bacheler , Restoration and Conversion of the Jews : But ever since 1832 , when Mehemet Ali took possession of Syria , there has been a remarkable flocking of the Jews to Palestine . The precise number of them at present in the Holy Land is estimated to amount to about 40,000 . 1843 : Stephen Olin , Travels in Egypt , Arabia Petræa , and the Holy land : European merchants could not live in the East , except under the protection of their own consuls . They never become subjects to the native rulers . If some civilized , Christian power would rescue Palestine , by treaty or force , from Mohammedan rule , and establish an enlightened , equitable , and stable government , then might it become a desirable residence for civilized men ; but on no other condition could a residence there be endured by any but barbarians , content to be poor and tolerant from long habit of oppression and injustice . It fills me with surprise to see some of the best men of England labouring to promote the colonization of Jews in Palestine , and that under existing governments . The Jews are precisely the last people on earth fitted for such an enterprise , as they are a nation of traffickers , and know nothing of agriculture . Besides , the Jews of Europe and America are civilized and wealthy , and would not relish oppression and robbery , even in Palestine . 1843 : Johann Friedrich Röhr , Röhr 's Historico - geographical account of Palestine : Researches in Palestine : Napoleon Bonaparte , in 1799 , gave new importance to Palestine . It was connected with his conquest of Egypt , and was undertaken nominally to repulse the Turkish army under Djezzar ( Or the Butcher , so called by his subjects from his incredible cruelties . He died in 1808 , apparently with a quiet conscience ) , the Pacha of St Jean d'Acre , by which he was threatened , and prevent it obstructing his intentions as to Egypt , but actually to get possession of the vast wealth of this Pacha , treasured up in Acre , and make this the foundation of other extensive projects as to the east . 1844 : J.T. Bannister , A Survey of the Holy Land ... : `` Tacitus compares both the climate and the soil to those of Italy , and particularly specifies the palm and balsam - trees as productions which gave the country an advantage over his own . Justin confirms the account of Tacitus , respecting the exuberant produce of Palestine , its beautiful climate , its palm and fragrant balsam - trees .

It stretched between 31 and 33 ° N. latitude and between 32 and 35 ° degrees E. longitude , an area of about 1300 lieues carrées ( League ( unit ) # France ) . Some zealous writers , to give the land of the Hebrews some political importance , have exaggerated the extent of Palestine ; but we have an authority for us that one can not reject . St. Jerome , who had long traveled in this country , said in his letter to Dardanus ( ep. 129 ) that the northern boundary to that of the southern , was a distance of 160 Roman miles , which is about 55 lieues ( League ( unit ) # France ) . He paid homage to the truth despite his fears , as he said himself , of availing the Promised Land to pagan mockery , `` Pudet dicere latitudinem terrae repromissionis , ne ethnicis occasionem blasphemandi dedisse uideamur '' . 1847 : Walter McLeod , The geography of Palestine : MODERN DIVISIONS. 8 .

The country around was luxuriant with vegetation , and the yellow grain , even as we looked , was falling beneath the sickle . Variegated flint , chalk and limestone , without fossils , cropped out occasionally on the hill sides ; but along the lower slopes , and in the bottom of the valley , were continuous groves , with a verdant carpet beneath them . It was the most rural and the loveliest spot we had seen in Palestine . From among many flowers we gathered a beautiful white one , free from all earthly taint , fit emblem of the purity of the infant Godhead . ⟨ 1850 ⟩ Map of Modern Palestine in 1851 with administrative subdivisions Map showing the `` Quds Al - Sharif Mutasarrifate '' , from an atlas dated 1907 .

The area north of the Negev Desert is labelled `` Filastin '' ( Palestine ) . 1850 : Yehoseph Schwarz , A Descriptive Geography and Brief Historical Sketch of Palestine : In the year 5592 ( 1832 ) , Mahmud Ali , pacha of Alexandria in Egypt , declared himself independent of the Sultan of Constantinople . His son , Abraim Pacha , moved suddenly with a large force towards Palestine , and took without almost any resistance on the part of the adherents of the Sultan , Jaffa , Jerusalem , Nablus , and Chaifa , and placed Egyptian soldiers as garrisons in the same , and appeared next before Akko , which was occupied by Abd Alla Pacha , and besieged it a long time , and took it finally by storm , carrying away the Pacha as prisoner to Egypt . He gradually now occupied all Palestine , Syria , Arabia , and Nubia . 1856 : James Redhouse , An English and Turkish dictionary : Regarded as the original and authoritative Ottoman - English dictionary , translates Holy Land as dari - filastin ( House of Palestine ) 1858 : Josias Leslie Porter , A handbook for travellers in Syria and Palestine : The modern inhabitants of Southern Palestine may be divided into two classes -- the Bedawin , or wandering tribes who dwell in tents , and the Fellahin , who reside in villages . ( ... ) The plain of Akka is one of the richest in Palestine -- producing alike the most luxuriant crops and the rankest weeds in the country .

Bonaparte being apprised that preparations were making in the pashalic of Acre for attacking him in Egypt , resolved , according to his usual tactics , to anticipate the movements of his enemies . He accordingly marched across the desert which divides Egypt from Palestine , and invaded the country at the head of 10,000 troops . After taking several towns , and among the rest Jaffa , where he stained his character by the atrocious massacre of 4000 prisoners .

Notwithstanding all this , Mr. Gibbon remarks , speaking of Phoenicia and Palestine ( Chap . i.p. 21 ) , `` The former of these was a narrow and rocky coast ; the latter was a territory scarcely superior to Wales either in fertility or extent ... M. Guizot supposes he based his remark upon a passage in Strabo ( Bk . xvi. 1104 ) , who speaks only of the country around Jerusalem which he says was unfruitful and arid for sixty stadia ( probably five or six miles ;) in other places giving excellent testimony to the fertility of Palestine . He says , `` About Jericho is a forest of palm - trees , and the country for a hundred stadia is full of springs and well peopled . '' 1860 : Josias Leslie Porter , ed . Thomas Stewart Traill , Syria , Encyclopædia Britannica : The modern inhabitants of Syria and Palestine are a mixed race , made up of the descendants of the ancient Syrians who occupied the country in the early days of Christianity and of the Arabians who came in with the armies of the khalifs and settled in the cities and villages . The number of the latter being comparatively small , the mixture of blood did not visibly change the type of the ancient people . This may be seen by comparing the Christians with the Muslems . The former are undoubtedly of pure Syrian descent , while the latter are more or less mixed , and yet there is no visible distinction between the two save what dress makes .

I. -- Hermits and Pilgrims . ( ... ) II. -- Origin of Monks . The hermits and anchorets , as they were called , were held in high esteem , and thousands of pilgrims , from all parts , sought their cells to obtain the benefit of their prayers . In the fourth century , the ancient lands of Syria and Palestine were full of such `` holy men , '' and soon after they began to form societies and live together , as brethren , under oaths and regulations . This was the origin of religious houses or convents of monks ; and the beginning of that monastic system which afterward extended throughout all Christendom .

This was in 1840 ... England , inspired by Lord Palmerston , had determined , in defiance of France , to put down the Pacha of Egypt , Mohammed Ali , and his equally miscreant son ... I was consequently present at the bombardment of Beirût -- Queen City of Palestine -- at the landing , witnessed the panic - flight of the much - boasted Egyptians at the bare sight of our fellows , and was present at the fall of Acre . I never estimated very highly the glory of that Syrian campaign . What real resistance could a multitude of Egyptian soldiers offer to a well - organized British force ? It signifies little to the wolves how numerous the sheep may be . 1865 : William McClure Thomson , The land of promise : travels in modern Palestine ( from The land and the Book ). : From Samaria to Nablûs is two hours ' easy riding ; first south , over the shoulder of the mountain , and then east ward , up the lovely vale of Nablûs . Nothing in Palestine surpasses it in fertility and natural beauty , and this is mainly due to the fine mill - stream which flows through it . The whole country is thickly studded with villages ; the plains clothed with grass or grain ; and the rounded hills with orchards of olive , fig , pomegranate , and other trees . 1867 : Titus Tobler , Bibliographica Geographica Palaestinae . 1871 : John Tillotson , Palestine Its Holy Sites and Sacred Story 1872 - 1917 : The Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem was commonly referred to at the time as `` Palestine '' .

This name has the authority of the prophet lsaiah , among the sacred writers : and was received by the earliest secular historians . Herodotus calls the Hebrews Syrians of Palestine ; and states that the sea - border of Syria , inhabited , according to him by Phoenicians from the Red Sea , was called Palaestina as far as Egypt ( vii. 89 ) . He elsewhere places Syria Palaestina between Phoenice and Egypt ; Tyre and Sidon in Phoenice : Ascalon , Cadytis Ienysus in Palaestina Syriae ; elsewhere he places Cadytis and Azotus simply in Syria ( iv. 39 , iii. 5 , ii. 116 , 157 , i . 105 , iii. 5 ) . ( ... ) The most valuable contributions to the ancient geography of Palestine are those of Eusebius and his commentator S. Jerome in the Onomasticon , composed by the former , and translated , with important additions and corrections , by the latter who has also interspersed in his commentaries and letters numerous geographical notices of extreme value . They are not , however , of such a character as to be available under this general article , but are fully cited under the names of the towns , &c .

Die Türken theilten Syrien in fünf Gouvernements ( Paschaliks ) : Aleppo , Tripolis , Damascus , Saida ( später Akka ) und Palästina . Diese Eintheilung hat aber im Laufe der Jahrhunderte viele Veränderungen erlitten . Bis vor Kurzem war Syrien nur in zwei Grossgouvernements ( wiläyet ) mit den Hauptstädten Damascus und Aleppo getheilt . In neuester Zeit ist Jerusalem ebenfalls Sitz eines von der Pforte direct abhängigen Centrai - Gouverneurs ( wäli ) geworden und zwar in Folge des Versuches , die turbulenten Stämme jenseit des Jordan auf die Dauer zu pacificiren . 1875 : Isabel Burton , The Inner Life of Syria , Palestine , and the Holy Land : From My Private Journal : We rode to Dayr el Kamar , a large village in the territory of El Manásíf . Then we went to B'teddin , now the palace of Franco Pasha , Governor of the Lebanon ... he meets every case with liberality and civilization ; he was a religious man , and Allah and the Sultan were his only thoughts . Everything he did for the natives ' good , he told them that it came from his Master and theirs , so that `` May Allah prolong the days of our Sultan '' was ever in the people 's mouth .

In January 1875 , being in the 91st year of his age , he resigned his position as President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews , and a testimonial to him having been resolved upon , he requested it might take the form of a scheme for improving the condition of the Jews in Palestine generally , and Jerusalem particularly . About £ 11,000 only has been as yet contributed to the fund , although the amount anticipated was £ 200,000 . The reason of the smallness of the contributions was that a rumour went abroad that the scheme was only to continue idle Jews in idleness . 1879 : Nu'man ibn ' Abdu al - Qasatli : al - Rawda al - Numaniyya in the travelogue to Palestine and some Syrian Towns 1880s : The Ottoman government issues a number of decrees to foreign governments , intended to limit Zionist immigration , land purchases and settlement .

At the same time he thought that if ' Eretz - Israel ' only were used , it might not be regarded by the outside world as a correct rendering of the word ' Palestine ' , and in the case of passports or certificates of nationality , it might perhaps give rise to difficulties , so it was decided to print ' Palestine ' in Hebrew letters and to add after it the letters ' Aleph ' ' Yod ' , which constitute a recognised abbreviation of the Hebrew name . ( Samuel ) still thought that this was a good compromise . Dr. Salem wanted to omit ' Aleph ' ' Yod ' and Mr. Yellin wanted to omit ' Palestine ' . The right solution would be to retain both . '' 1921 : Syrian - Palestinian Congress 1923 : British Mandate for Palestine is ratified 1926 : Permanent Mandates Commission : `` M. Palacios ( Spanish representative ) , returning to the concrete questions of a general character of which the Arabs complained , recalled those concerning the national title , the national hymn and the flag ... As regards the first point , the Arabs claimed that it was not in conformity with Article 22 of the Mandate to print the initials and even the words `` Eretz Israel '' after the name `` Palestine '' while refusing the Arabs the title `` Surial Janonbiah '' ( `` Southern Syria '' ) . The British Government had not accepted the use of this Arab title , but gave the place of honour to the Hebrew word used for 2,000 years and decided that the official name in Hebrew was `` Palestina '' followed by the initials signifying `` Aleph Jod '' , the regular Hebrew name . Was the question still under discussion and could the accredited representative give the Commission any further information ? Colonel Symes explained that the country was described as `` Palestine '' by Europeans and as `` Falestin '' by the Arabs . The Hebrew name for the country was the designation `` Land of Israel '' , and the Government , to meet Jewish wishes , had agreed that the word `` Palestine '' in Hebrew characters should be followed in all official documents by the initials which stood for that designation . As a set - off to this , certain of the Arab politicians suggested that the country should be called `` Southern Syria '' in order to emphasise its close relation with another Arab State . '' 1936 : Peel Commission Report : `` ( Jewish nationalism ) claims , for example , that , though Palestine is not an Arab word and might therefore fairly serve for Jews as well as Arabs , Eretz Israel ( Land of Israel ) should be also accepted as the official translation of `` Palestine '' , and protests that the printing of the Hebrew initials `` E.I. '' after `` Palestine '' on every stamp and coin is not enough . '' Biblical references Map showing the locations of the cities of the `` Five Lords of the Philistines '' Palaistinê ( whence Palaestina , from which Palestine is derived ) is generally accepted to have a correspondence within the Sacred texts of Judaism such that Palaistinê is a translation of the name Peleshet ( פלשת Pəlésheth , usually transliterated as Philistia ) . Peleshet and its derivates are used more than 250 times in Masoretic - derived versions of the Hebrew Bible , of which 10 uses are in the Torah , with undefined boundaries , and almost 200 of the remaining references are in the Book of Judges and the Books of Samuel . The term is rarely used in the Septuagint , who used a transliteration Land of Phylistieim ( Γη των Φυλιστιειμ ) different from the contemporary Greek place name Palaistínē ( Παλαιστίνη ) . The Septuagint instead used the term `` allophuloi '' ( Αλλόφυλοι , `` other nations '' ) throughout the Books of Judges and Samuel , such that the term `` Philistines '' has been interpreted to mean `` non-Israelites of the Promised Land '' when used in the context of Samson , Saul and David , and Rabbinic sources explain that these peoples were different from the Philistines of the Book of Genesis . The Philistines and Philistia are mentioned more than 250 times in the Hebrew Bible . The Hebrew word Peleshet ( פלשת Pəlésheth ) -- usually translated as Philistia in English -- is used in the Bible to denote the southern coastal region that was inhabited by the Philistines ( `` Plištim '' ( פְּלִשְׁתִּים Pəlištîm ) The Philistines first appear in a listing of the Hamitic branch of Noah 's descendants . The word Philistia is generally accepted to be a cognate of the word Palestine . However , the terms for biblical Philistia and geographical Palestine have been different since at least the second century BC . As early as the LXX , thought to have been completed in 132 BC , the biblical term for Philistines in Greek ( Philistieim ) was different from the contemporary Greek name for the region ( Palaistine ) The five books of the Pentateuch / Torah include a total of 10 references , including : Genesis 10 : 14 : ( first reference ) `` And Pathrusim , and Casluhim , ( out of whom came Philistim , ) and Caphtorim . '' Genesis 21 : 32 - 34 : `` Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba : then Abimelech rose up , and Phichol the chief captain of his host , and they returned into the land of the Philistines . And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba , and called there on the name of the LORD , the everlasting God . And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines ' land many days . '' Exodus 13 : 17 : `` And it came to pass , when Pharaoh had let the people go , that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines , although that was near ; for God said , Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war , and they return to Egypt '' Exodus 23 : 31 : `` And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines , and from the desert unto the river : for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand ; and thou shalt drive them out before thee . '' The Historical books ( see Deuteronomistic history ) include over 250 references , almost 200 of which are in the Book of Judges and the Books of Samuel , including : Joshua 13 : 1 - 3 : `` Now Joshua was old and stricken in years ; and the LORD said unto him , Thou art old and stricken in years , and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed . This is the land that yet remaineth : all the borders of the Philistines , and all Geshuri , from Sihor , which is before Egypt , even unto the borders of Ekron northward , which is counted to the Canaanite : five lords of the Philistines ; the Gazathites , and the Ashdothites , the Eshkalonites , the Gittites , and the Ekronites ; also the Avites '' 1Kings 4 : 21 : `` And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines , and unto the border of Egypt : they brought presents , and served Solomon all the days of his life . '' Wisdom books include only 6 references , all in the Psalms , including : Psalm 87 : 4 : `` I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me : behold Philistia , and Tyre , with Ethiopia ; this man was born there . '' Books of the Major prophets and Minor prophets include around 20 references , including : Zephaniah 2 : 5 : `` Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast , the nation of the Cherethites ! the word of the LORD is against you ; O Canaan , the land of the Philistines , I will even destroy thee , that there shall be no inhabitant . '' Amos 9 : 7 : `` Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me , O children of Israel ? saith the LORD . Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt ? and the Philistines from Caphtor , and the Syrians from Kir ? '' Etymological considerations Per Martin Noth , the name likely comes from the Aramaic word for Philistine . Noth also described a strong similarity between the word Palestine and the Greek word `` palaistês '' ( wrestler / rival / adversary ) , which has the same meaning as the word `` Israel '' . This was expanded by David Jacobson to theorize the name being a portmanteau of the word for Philistines with a direct translation of the word Israel into Greek ( in concordance with the Greek penchant for punning on place names .

Although some of Herodotus ' references to Palestine are compatible with a narrow definition of the coastal strip of the Land of Israel , it is clear that Herodotus does call the `` whole land by the name of the coastal strip .

Hence , when Herodotus ( 3.91 ) , the first classical writer to mention Palestine , speaks of the fifth province of the Persians as including Phoenicia and the part of Syria called Palestine and Cyprus ; the part of Syria called Palestine either refers only to the coastal area , so called because it had been inhabited by the Philistines , or he is speaking loosely , since the only part of the area that he had visited was apparently along the coast . Hence he called the whole land by the name of the coastal strip . That Herodotus has in mind the coastal strip may be inferred from the fact that he mentions ( 4.39 ) the peninsula running from Phoenicia beside the sea by the way of Syrian Palestine ( literally Palestinian , that is Philistine , Syria ) . He likewise mentions ( 7.89 ) the Syrians of Palestine ( again , presumably , he is thinking of the people along the coast ) in juxtaposition with the famous seafarers , the Phoenicians , as furnishing no fewer than three hundred ships to the Persians during the second expedition against Greece . If we hear ( 1.105 ) 1 ^ at the Scythians were met in Palestinian Syria by Psammetichus , the Egyptian king , it seems likely that the reference is to the coastal area formerly inhabited by the Philistines , inasmuch as we read immediately thereafter that they withdrew by way of the coastal city of Ascalon , which Herodotus locates in Syria . When Herodotus ( 3.5 ) tells us of a road which runs from Phoenicia as far as the borders of the city of Cadytis ( probably Gaza ) , `` which belongs to the so - called Syrians of Palestine , '' he again seems to be referring to the coastal area of the Philistines . A problem arises in the passage where Herodotus ( 2.104. 3 ) asserts that the Phoenicians and the Syrians of Palestine acknowledge of themselves that they learnt the custom of circumcision from the Egyptians . The reference here can not be to the Philistines , inasmuch as they were uncircumcised ( Judges 14.3 , etc . ) . While it is true that Josephus , half a millennium later ( Antiquities 8.262 and Against Apion 1.168 ff . ) , was convinced that the reference was to Jews on the grounds that they alone of the inhabitants of Syria practiced circumcision , other peoples in the region were likewise circumcised , as Jerome ( Commentary on Jeremiah 9.25 - 26 ) notes ; or , more likely , Herodotus ' information is derived from second - hand sources ( travel inland from the coast was particularly difficult and dangerous in those days ) 6 which confused the Philistines with the Jewish inhabitants of the region . Indeed , the fact that he couples the Syrians of Palestine with the Phoenicians may be a clue to the fact that he is thinking of the peoples who live , as the Phoenicians did , along the coast . ^ Jump up to : The Southern and Eastern Borders of Abar - Nahara Steven S. Tuell Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research , No. 284 ( Nov. , 1991 ) , pp. 51 -- 57 , `` '' Palestinian Syria '' as a Coastal Region in Herodotus '' : `` Herodotus considered Abar - Nahara ( his `` fifth province '' ) a maritime province . That this would be true of Cyprus and Phoenicia is self - evident . However , Herodotus claims the same distinction for Syri he Palaistine kaleomenj ( `` the part of Syria called Palestine , '' or `` Palestinian Syria '' ) . Hence , in both 3.5 and 3.91 , as we have seen , he describes Palestine as a coastal strip . The argument frequently raised , that Herodotus was merely mapping out the Mediterranean coastline , is true so far as it goes . However , Herodotus claims to have been in the country he calls Palestine ( 2.106 ) ; hence , if it had extended inland to any appreciable degree , he would have known and presumably made some comment pertaining to the province 's inland reaches . But in 4.39 , as part of his grand map of the world , Herodotus describes Palestinian Syria and Phoenicia as comprising the coast of his `` second peninsula '' as it passes along the Mediterranean . Finally , in 7.89 , as part of his description of Xerxes ' invasion fleet , Herodotus notes , `` The Phoenicians and Palestinian Syrians furnished 300 ( triremes ) . '' Thus , Herodotus understands Phoenicia and Palestine to be partners , specifically in maritime enterprise . Most compelling for our purposes , however , is 7 : 89 : `` The Phoenicians lived of old , so they say , about the Red Sea , but they came out of there and settled in that part of Syria that is next to the sea . That piece of Syria , and all as far as Egypt , is called Palestine . '' It is intriguing that here Herodotus seems to use Palestine in a sense inclusive of all the coastland from Egypt north through Phoenicia . Elsewhere ( Herodotus 1.105 ; 2.104 ; 3.5 ; 3.91 ; 4.39 ) , he considers Phoenicia and Palestinian Syria as separate provinces . Particularly to be noted , however , is that the piece of Syria in which the Phoenicians are said to have settled , called here Palestine , is also explicitly said to be para thalas san ( `` next to , alongside of , the sea '' ) . Herodotus apparently considered Palestine a coastal region . Hence , his description of the satrapy of Abar Nahara , which consisted largely of Phoenicia and Palestinian Syria , as a strip of coastland is consistent with his view concerning the nature of Palestine expressed elsewhere .

But both Josephus and Philo apply the name to the whole land of the Hebrews ; and Greek and Roman writers employed it in the like extent . '' Jump up ^ Cohen , Getzel M. , ed. ( 2006 ) .

JSTOR 10.1525 / j. ctt1pnd22. 5 . Nevertheless , it is important to note that despite its appearance in various literary texts of and pertaining to the Hellenistic period , the term `` Palestine '' is not found on any extant Hellenistic coin or inscription . In other words , there is no attestation for its use in an official context in the Hellenistic period . Even in the early Roman period its use was not especially widespread . For example , Philo and Josephus generally used `` Judaea '' rather than `` Palestine '' to refer to the area. 48 Furthermore , `` Palestine '' is nowhere attested in the New Testament . `` Palestine '' did not come into official use until the early second century a.d. , when the emperor Hadrian decided to rename the province of Judaea ; for its new name he chose `` Syria Palaestina . '' 49 The new name took hold . It is found thereafter in inscriptions , on coins , and in numerous literary texts. 50 Thus Arrian ( 7.9. 8 , Indica 43.1 ) and Appian ( Syr. 50 ) , who lived in the second century a.d. , and Cassius Dio ( e.g. , 38.38. 4 , 39.56. 6 ) , who lived in the third , referred to the region as `` Palestine . '' And in the rabbinic literature `` Palestine '' was used as the name of the Roman province adjacent to Phoenicia and Arabia ( e.g. , Bereshith Rabbah 90.6 ) Jump up ^ Rosenfeld , Ben - Zion ( 2000 ) . `` Flavius Josephus and His Portrayal of the Coast ( Paralia ) of Contemporary Roman Palestine : Geography and Ideology '' . The Jewish Quarterly Review . 91 ( 1 / 2 ) : 143 -- 183 . doi : 10.2307 / 1454789 . JSTOR 1454789 . Josephus frequently uses the name Judaea . This name sometimes has a political significance in his writings , referring to Provincia Iudaea , created and named by the Roman administration . At other times Judaea signifies those areas of Palestine whose inhabitants are Jews , and it may also signify the area which was the biblical inheritance of Judah . Yet it seems that Josephus also uses the term to signify `` the land of the Jews , '' indicating the territorial area of the country which , according to Josephus ' ideology , belongs to the Jewish state . This sometimes conforms with the biblical utopian vision en compassing all the territory allocated to the Jews - Eretz Israel - and sometimes refers only to a part . I shall use `` Judaea '' to refer to this last option , unless otherwise stated . `` Palestine '' will be used to signify the whole region connected with the land of Israel in Josephus ' time , including the coastal region , although at that time the term was restricted to the southern part of the coastal region . Jump up ^ FELDMAN , LOUIS H. ( 1990 ) . `` Some Observations on the Name of Palestine '' . Hebrew Union College Annual . 61 : 1 -- 23 . JSTOR 23508170 . Jewish writers , notably Philo and Josephus , with few exceptions refer to the land as Judaea , reserving the name Palestine for the coastal area occupied by the Philistines ... Josephus also ( Antiquities 1.136 ) refers to Palestine , but this , too , is in connection with the land of the Philistines , the immediate context being his statement that Phylistinus is the only one of the sons of Mersaeus ( i.e. , Mizraim ) whose country has preserved the name of its founder , that is , Palaistine . ^ Jump up to : Feldman 1990 , p. 19 : `` While it is true that there is no evidence as to precisely who changed the name of Judaea to Palestine and precisely when this was done , circumstantial evidence would seem to point to Hadrian himself , since he is , it would seem , responsible for a number of decrees that sought to crush the national and religious spirit of thejews , whether these decrees were responsible for the uprising or were the result of it . In the first place , he refounded Jerusalem as a Graeco - Roman city under the name of Aelia Capitolina . He also erected on the site of the Temple another temple to Zeus .

However , that Jewish writers such as Philo , in particular , and Josephus , who flourished while Judea was still formally in existence , used the name Palestine for the Land of Israel in their Greek works , suggests that this interpretation of history is mistaken . Hadrian 's choice of Syria Palaestina may be more correctly seen as a rationalization of the name of the new province , in accordance with its area being far larger than geographical Judea .

Retrieved 9 February 2018 . Some of this history is not without controversy . The most infamous incident was the alleged name change from Judaea to Palestine in 135 CE . Most scholars believe the Roman Emperor Hadrian changed the provincial administrative name of Judaea to Palestine to erase the Jewish presence in the land , a point often seized by Israel apologists because it squares nicely with the theory that Jews have faced millennia of uninterrupted persecution . What Israel apologists do n't know is that it 's equally likely the name change had little to do with Jew hatred and more to do with Hadrian 's romance with ancient Greece . It 's also possible Judaea gradually fell from use out of derelict rather than spite . These theories are little known even among scholars because they serve no political agenda . Regrettably , it seems too many historians of Hadrian and the Jews of the Roman Empire have fallen victim to the propaganda ... The Roman Emperor Hadrian is claimed to have replaced the district of Judaea with Palestine to erase the land 's Jewish identity after crushing the Bar - Kokhba revolt in 135 AD , what we might call the erasure hypothesis ... Historians do not believe that Hadrian preserved the administrative boundaries of Judaea and simply rename the province Palestine . Instead , the consensus is that the district was abolished altogether and replaced not with Palaestina , but with Syria - Palaestina . Palaestina , to repeat , was not the name of a Roman administrative province beginning in 135 . Now let 's discuss the evidence in support of the erasure hypothess . Recall that the Romans banned circumcision , hellenized Jerusalem and levied a half - shekel tax on the Jews to pay for it . This inspired rebellion . The leader of the rebellion , Bar Kokhba , took complete control of Judaea ( although not Jerusalem ) in 132 , annihilating Roman troops stationed in Judaea and even a unit sent from Egypt . Bar Kokhba ruled Judaea for more than two years . He inaugurated a new calendar , `` the First Year of the Redemption of Israel '' and issued leases of parcels of land . He probably inspired Jewish insurrection elsewhere in the Empire too . In response , Emperor Hadrian summoned his best generals to quell the revolt . This included Julius Severus from Britain and other units from Syria and the Danube . In total , some 12 or 13 legions participated , an enormous troop deployment for a territory the size of Judaea . Hadrian even made two visits to the front lines himself . His units incurred heavy losses , but managed to crush the rebellion , obliterating 50 major outposts , 1,000 villages and killing tens if not hundreds of thousands of Jews . The Romans dispossessed Jews of their land in Jerusalem after their re-conquest in 135 AD . They destroyed a Samaritan ( Hebrew offshoot ) sanctuary at Mount Gerizim ( near Nablus ) and sold Jewish slaves in Gaza and Hebron for the price of a horse . The Romans outlawed anyone from practicing Mosaic law or owning scrolls . Pagan shrines were built over Jewish ones . The rabbis were traumatized by the gruesome violence , even claiming that `` the gentiles fertilized their vineyards for seven years with the blood of Israel without using manure . '' Hadrian had ample reason to change the name and `` to stamp out the embers '' of `` Jewish nationhood and statehood , '' as Bernard Lewis put it . But there are also some major problems with the erasure hypothesis . It assumes that Palestine was not already the name of a region that included Judaea . If it was , then how could Hadrian have changed the name to Palestine ? ... But Palestine did not emerge forth from Judaea , it had coexisted with it long before it was putatively changed to it . Herodotus ( d. 425 BC ) was the first on record in the Greek world to use the term Palestine . The prevailing theory is that he adopted the term from Aramaic -- both because Aramaic was the closest thing the Near East had at that time to a lingua franca and because Middle Aramaic , a Semitic language related to Hebrew , had a form of that word -- Pi - li - s - ta'in -- closest to Herodotus 's Greek usage ... Others writers ... used the term before 135 CE , and they included Judaea in it . So , Palestine included Judaea a long time before Hadrian said it included Judaea . We have a plausible motive for the change without knowing anything else about Hadrian : he called the place what it was called . Interestingly , Hadrian ... admired Greek aesthetics , art and philosophy and even changed provincial names to Greek ones elsewhere in the Empire as symbolic acts of restoration . This included the city of Antigonea , called that by the Macedonian king Antigonus Doson , which he changed to Mantinea -- its Greek name during the time of Sparta 's prominence ; the city of Sepphoris , which was renamed Diocaesarea in Hadrian 's honor in 130 ; he renamed Jerusalem Aelia Capitolina -- to remind Christian Roman dissenters that it was Aelius Hadrianus -- i.e. himself -- who held power in Jerusalem . It 's plausible he renamed Judaea not because he wanted to give BDS a head start , as Malcolm Hoenlein believed , but rather because he loved the Greeks -- and he thought the Greeks called the place Palestine ... The decision to change the name to Palestine may have been a banal bureaucratic choice . The whole affair might have passed without anyone thinking there was anything vengeful about the change . This seems plausible , especially given the paucity of direct evidence around who made the change , when and under what circumstances . If the administrative reorganization was indeed banal , then we might have expected both names to have persisted after the change , which is exactly what happened . An inscription in modern Austria from after the reported change described someone as the procurator of Judaea ; another from Ephesus , Turkey , identified Sextus Erucius Clarus as governor of Judaea -- and those were official inscriptions . Other Greek and Roman unofficial sources , including Galen , Celsus , Dio Cassius , Festus , Eutropius , Martianus Capella , Orosius and the anonymous author of Epitome de Caesaribus used the term Judaea , often side by side Palestine , as if they were synonyms -- centuries after it had putatively been erased . The 4th century writer Epiphanius , for instance , explicitly claimed `` Palaestina '' is `` Judaea . '' Could all those writers have been so blasphemous against Rome -- reviving the name that Hadrian vengefully erased ? 135 AD might not have been as important a moment as everyone seems to think .

Unique and noteworthy is also the discussion in Pausanias , who mentions four : ( 1 ) the Libyan Sibyl , ( 2 ) the Herophile of Marpessos or Erythrae , i.e. from Asia Minor , who also prophesied in Delphi , ( 3 ) the Demo in Cumae and ( 4 ) the Sabbe of the Hebrews in Palestine , who was also called the Babylonian or Egyptian , i.e. the Oriental .

Brett , Ethnicity and the Bible , BRILL , p. 404 , ISBN 9780391041264 , Rabbinic sources insist that the Philistines of Judges and Samuel were different people altogether from the Philistines of Genesis . ( Midrash Tehillim on Psalm 60 ( Braude : vol. 1 , 513 ) ; the issue here is precisely whether Israel should have been obliged , later , to keep the Genesis treaty . ) This parallels a shift in the Septuagint 's translation of Hebrew pelistim . Before Judges , it uses the neutral transliteration phulistiim , but beginning with Judges it switches to the pejorative allophuloi . ( To be precise , Codex Alexandrinus starts using the new translation at the beginning of Judges and uses it invariably thereafter , Vaticanus likewise switches at the beginning of Judges , but reverts to phulistiim on six occasions later in Judges , the last of which is 14 : 2 . ) Jump up ^ Drews 1998 , p. 49 : `` Our names ' Philistia ' and ' Philistines ' are unfortunate obfuscations , first introduced by the translators of the LXX and made definitive by Jerome 's Vg . When turning a Hebrew text into Greek , the translators of the LXX might simply -- as Josephus was later to do -- have Hellenized the Hebrew פְּלִשְׁתִּים as Παλαιστίνοι , and the toponym פְּלִשְׁתִּ as Παλαιστίνη . Instead , they avoided the toponym altogether , turning it into an ethnonym . As for the ethnonym , they chose sometimes to transliterate it ( incorrectly aspirating the initial letter , perhaps to compensate for their inability to aspirate the sigma ) as φυλιστιιμ , a word that looked exotic rather than familiar , and more often to translate it as άλλόφυλοι . Jerome followed the LXX 's lead in eradicating the names , ' Palestine ' and ' Palestinians ' , from his Old Testament , a practice adopted in most modern translations of the Bible . '' Jump up ^ Drews 1998 , p. 51 : `` The LXX 's regular translation of פְּלִשְׁתִּים into άλλόφυλοι is significant here . Not a proper name at all , allophyloi is a generic term , meaning something like ' people of other stock ' . If we assume , as I think we must , that with their word allophyloi the translators of the LXX tried to convey in Greek what p'lištîm had conveyed in Hebrew , we must conclude that for the worshippers of Yahweh p'lištîm and b'nê yiśrā'ēl were mutually exclusive terms , p'lištîm ( or allophyloi ) being tantamount to ' non-Judaeans of the Promised Land ' when used in a context of the third century BCE , and to ' non-Israelites of the Promised Land ' when used in a context of Samson , Saul and David .

In the earliest Classical literature references to Palestine generally applied to the Land of Israel in the wider sense . A reappraisal of this question has given rise to the proposition that the name Palestine , in its Greek form Palaistine , was both a transliteration of a word used to describe the land of the Philistines and , at the same time , a literal translation of the name Israel . This dual interpretation reconciles apparent contradictions in early definitions of the name Palaistine and is compatible with the Greeks ' penchant for punning , especially on place names .

The song was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 2013 Grammy Awards . It lost to `` Bangarang '' by Skrillex & Sirah . Contents ( hide ) 1 Reception 2 Track listing 3 References 4 External links Reception ( edit ) The song 's nomination for a Grammy Award caused controversy . Philip Sherburne of Spin noted a lack of notability of Walser compared to Avicii , Calvin Harris , Skrillex , and Swedish House Mafia , as they were also nominated for the same award , writing that the song 's `` clunky rock / trance fusion and low - budget video make Rebecca Black 's ' Friday ' sound and look cutting - edge in comparison '' . Bill Freimuth , the vice president of the Recording Academy -- which is responsible for the Grammy Awards -- told MTV Walser `` was a very active marketer of his work , and got his music out to lots and lots of our voting membership , and they chose to vote for it . '' He noted that ballot is audited by Deloitte and said `` they found nothing really anomalous or wrong with the votes surrounding this nomination . '' Speculation surrounding the nomination includes Walser 's membership to the Recording Academy . Walser stated his position as a voter `` was only helpful to the extent that I had access to the other voters , and they could see what I was doing on a regular basis '' . Billboard compared the incident to Linda Chorney , who gained a Grammy Award nomination the previous year through a similar tactic .

She is the eldest daughter and second child born to Clara Marie `` Clary '' ( née Ramey ; 1912 -- 1981 ) and Melvin Theodore `` Ted '' Webb ( 1906 -- 1959 ) . Ted was a coal miner and subsistence farmer . The other Webb children : Melvin Webb , Jr .

Path to stardom ( edit ) On January 10 , 1948 , 15 - year - old Loretta Webb married Oliver `` Doolittle '' a.k.a. `` Mooney '' Lynn ( August 27 , 1926 -- August 22 , 1996 ) , and the two shortly after relocated to northern Washington state where the happiness and heartache of their early marriage inspired her music . In 1953 , Doolittle bought her a $17 Harmony guitar . She taught herself to play the instrument , and over the following three years , she worked to improve her guitar playing . With Doolittle 's encouragement , she started her own band , Loretta and the Trailblazers , with her brother Jay Lee playing lead guitar . She often appeared at Bill 's Tavern in Blaine , Washington , and the Delta Grange Hall in Custer , Washington , with the Pen Brothers ' band and the Westerneers . She cut her first record , `` I 'm a Honky Tonk Girl '' , in February 1960 . She became a part of the country music scene in Nashville in the 1960s . In 1967 she had the first of 16 number - one hits ( out of 70 charted songs as a solo artist and a duet partner ) . Her later hits include `` Do n't Come Home A ' Drinkin ' ( With Lovin ' on Your Mind ) '' , `` You Ai n't Woman Enough '' , `` Fist City '' , and `` Coal Miner 's Daughter '' . Lynn focused on blue - collar women 's issues with themes about philandering husbands and persistent mistresses ; her music was inspired by issues that she faced in her marriage . She pushed boundaries in the conservative genre of country music by singing about birth control ( `` The Pill '' ) , repeated childbirth ( `` One 's on the Way '' ) , double standards for men and women ( `` Rated ' X ' '' ) , and being widowed by the draft during the Vietnam War ( `` Dear Uncle Sam '' ) . Country music radio stations often refused to play her music , banning nine of her songs , but Lynn pushed on to become one of country music 's legendary artists . She and contemporaries like Tammy Wynette provided a template for female artists in country music to follow . Her best - selling 1976 autobiography , Coal Miner 's Daughter , was made into an Academy Award -- winning film of the same title in 1980 , starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones , with Spacek winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Lynn . Her album Van Lear Rose , released in 2004 , was produced by the alternative rock musician Jack White ; Lynn and White were nominated for five Grammys and won two . Lynn has received numerous awards in country and American music . She was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1983 , the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988 , and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2008 , and she was honored in 2010 at the Country Music Awards . She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2013 ( it was also presented to Bill Clinton , Oprah Winfrey , and Bob Dylan ) . Lynn has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since joining on September 25 , 1962 ; her debut appearance on the Grand Ole Opry was on October 15 , 1960 . Lynn has recorded 70 albums , including 54 studio albums , 15 compilation albums , and one tribute album , and over 48 million of her albums have been sold worldwide in her career . Personal life ( edit ) Birth , parents and siblings , and famous relatives ( edit ) Lynn 's childhood home in Butcher Hollow , Kentucky Lynn was born in 1932 and raised in the mining community of Butcher Hollow , Van Lear , Kentucky . Loretta was the second of eight children . She was named after the film star Loretta Young . Ted Webb never got to see his daughter become famous , because he died in 1959 of black lung disease before Loretta 's first single , `` I 'm A Honky Tonk Girl '' , was released the following year . In addition to her famous siblings and children who perform , Lynn is cousins with country singer Patty Loveless ( born Patricia Ramey ) thru her mother 's side . She is also related , on her mother 's side , to Venus Ramey , Miss America of 1944 . Early adulthood ( edit ) Webb was 15 when she married 21 - year - old Oliver Lynn , known variously as `` Doolittle '' , `` Doo '' , or `` Mooney '' , on January 10 , 1948 ; the couple had met only a month earlier . A year later , they left Kentucky and moved to the logging community of Custer , Washington , when Loretta was seven months pregnant with the first of their six children . Children and grandchildren ( edit ) The Lynns had six children together : Betty Sue Lynn ( November 26 , 1948 -- July 29 , 2013 ) Jack Benny Lynn , ( December 7 , 1949 -- July 24 , 1984 ) Clara Marie `` Cissie '' Lynn ( born 1952 ) Ernest Ray `` Ernie '' Lynn ( born 1954 ) Peggy Jean and Patsy Eileen Lynn ( born 1964 ; twin daughters named for Lynn 's sister Peggy Sue Wright and her close friend Patsy Cline ) Lynn has outlived two of her six children . Her second child and eldest son , Jack Benny , died at age 34 on July 22 , 1984 , while trying to ford the Duck River at the family 's ranch in Hurricane Mills , Tennessee . Loretta 's eldest child , daughter Betty Sue , died at age 64 from emphysema in 2013 , near Loretta 's ranch in Hurricane Mills . Lynn became a grandmother at age 34 in 1966 , two years after her twins were born . She has 27 grandchildren and 16 great - grandchildren as of August 2017 . Before her marriage , she regularly sang at churches and in local concerts in Butcher Hollow and sang continually to her younger siblings . After marrying , she temporarily stopped singing in public and focused on family life . She passed her love of music on to her children , often singing to them around the house , singing the hymns her mother taught her such as `` The Great Titanic '' and `` In The Pines '' . Marital problems ( edit ) The Lynns were married for almost 50 years until Doolittle died at age 69 in 1996 . The couple had six children , and the marriage was reportedly rocky . In her 2002 autobiography Still Woman Enough and in an interview with CBS News the same year , she recounted how her husband cheated on her regularly and once left her while she was giving birth . She and her husband fought frequently , but she said that `` he never hit me one time that I did n't hit him back twice '' . Loretta has said that her marriage was `` one of the hardest love stories '' . In one of her autobiographies , she recalled : I married Doo when I was n't but a child , and he was my life from that day on . But as important as my youth and upbringing was , there 's something else that made me stick to Doo . He thought I was something special , more special than anyone else in the world , and never let me forget it . That belief would be hard to shove out the door . Doo was my security , my safety net . And just remember , I 'm explainin ' , not excusin ' ... Doo was a good man and a hard worker . But he was an alcoholic , and it affected our marriage all the way through . Homes ( edit ) Lynn owns a ranch in Hurricane Mills , Tennessee , billed as `` the 7th Largest Attraction in Tennessee '' , featuring a recording studio , museums , lodging , restaurants , western stores , and other attractions . She normally holds three holiday concerts annually at her ranch : Memorial Day Weekend , Fourth of July Weekend , and Labor Day Weekend . The ranch where Lynn and her husband raised their children is open for tourists to visit . Since 1982 , the ranch has hosted Loretta Lynn 's Amateur Motocross National Championship , the world 's largest amateur motocross race , in addition to GNCC Racing events . The centerpiece of the ranch is her large plantation home ; it also features a replica of her parents ' cabin in Butcher Hollow . She no longer lives in the plantation home , but lives nearby in a purpose built house behind the plantation Home . Lynn regularly greets fans who are touring the plantation house . The ranch also hosts the annual Loretta Lynn 's Amateur Championship motocross race . In the 1970s , Lynn purchased a home in Mexico . When she was not touring , she spent time there with her twin daughters , Patsy and Peggy , and her husband . Lynn and her husband also bought a cabin up in Canada and spent a lot of time there during the 1980s after buying the property in the early 1970s as a hunting lodge for Mooney ( Lynn 's husband . ) Health issues ( edit ) In May of 2017 , Lynn had a stroke at her home in Hurricane Mills , Tennessee . She was taken to a Nashville hospital and was forced to cancel all of her upcoming tour dates . Lynn also delayed the release of her new album Would n't It Be Great until 2018 when she would be well enough to promote it . According to her website , she is expected to make a full recovery . On January 1 , 2018 , Loretta fell and broke her hip . Music career ( edit ) 1960 -- 1966 : early Country success ( edit ) Lynn began singing in local clubs in the late 1950s with the help , insistence , and support of her husband . She later formed her own band , the Trailblazers , which included her brother Jay Lee Webb . Lynn won a televised talent contest in Tacoma , Washington , hosted by Buck Owens , for which the prize was a wristwatch that broke 24 hours later . ( Lynn later laughed about it with Owens . ) Lynn 's performance was seen by Canadian Norm Burley of Zero Records , who co-founded the record company after hearing Loretta sing . Zero Records president , Canadian Don Grashey , arranged a recording session in Hollywood , where four of Lynn 's own compositions were recorded : `` I 'm A Honky Tonk Girl '' , `` Whispering Sea '' , `` Heartache Meet Mister Blues '' , and `` New Rainbow '' . Her first release featured `` Whispering Sea '' and `` I 'm a Honky Tonk Girl '' . She signed her first contract on February 2 , 1960 , with Zero ; the material was recorded at United Western Recorders in Hollywood , engineered by Don Blake and produced by Grashey . Musicians backing on the songs were `` the great '' steel guitar player Speedy West , Harold Hensely on fiddle , Roy Lanham on guitar , Al Williams on bass , and Muddy Berry on drums . She commented on the different sound of her first record : `` Well , there is a West Coast sound that is definitely not the same as the Nashville sound ... It was a shuffle with a West Coast beat '' . The Lynns then toured the country to promote the release to country stations , while Grashey and Del Roy took the music to KFOX in Long Beach , California . When the Lynns reached Nashville , the song was a hit , climbing to No. 14 on Billboard 's C & W Chart , and Lynn began cutting demo records for the Wilburn Brothers Publishing Company . Through the Wilburns , she secured a contract with Decca Records . From the onset of her career , fans took notice and rallied behind her all the way , with the first Loretta Lynn Fan Club formed in November 1960 . By the end of the year , Billboard magazine listed Lynn as the No. 4 Most Promising Country Female Artist . Lynn 's relationship with the Wilburn Brothers and her appearances on the Grand Ole Opry , beginning in 1960 , helped Lynn become the number one female recording artist in country music . Her contract with the Wilburn Brothers gave them the publishing rights to her material . She was still fighting to regain these rights 30 years after ending her business relationship with them but was ultimately denied the publishing rights . Lynn stopped writing music in the 1970s because of these contracts . Although Kitty Wells had become the first major female country vocalist during the 1950s , by the time Lynn recorded her first record , only three other women -- Patsy Cline , Skeeter Davis , and Jean Shepard -- had become top stars . Lynn joined The Grand Ole Opry on September 25 , 1962 . By the end of 1962 it was clear that she was on her way to becoming the fourth star . Lynn has credited Cline as her mentor and best friend during those early years . In 2010 , when interviewed for Jimmy Mcdonough 's biography of Tammy Wynette , Tammy Wynette : Tragic Country Queen , Loretta mentioned having best friends in Patsy and Tammy during different times : `` Best friends are like husbands . You only need one at a time . '' Lynn released her first Decca single , `` Success , '' in 1962 , and it went straight to # 6 , beginning a string of Top 10 singles that would run through the rest of the decade and throughout the next . She was a hard honky - tonk singer for the first half of the 1960s and rarely strayed from the genre . During this time , Lynn soon began to regularly hit the Top 10 after 1964 with songs such as `` Before I 'm Over You '' , which peaked at No. 4 , followed by `` Wine , Women and Song , '' which peaked at No. 3 . In late 1964 , she recorded a duet album with Ernest Tubb . Their lead single , `` Mr. and Mrs. Used to Be '' , peaked within the Top 15 . Together , the pair recorded two more albums , `` Singin ' Again '' ( 1967 ) and `` If we Put Our Heads Together '' ( 1969 ) . In 1965 , her solo career continued with three major hits , `` Happy Birthday '' , `` Blue Kentucky Girl '' ( later recorded and made a Top 10 hit in the 1970s by Emmylou Harris ) , and `` The Home You 're Tearing Down '' . Lynn 's label issued two albums that year , `` Songs from My Heart '' and `` Blue Kentucky Girl '' . While most were Top 10 Country hits , none reached # 1 . Lynn 's first self - penned song to crack the Top Ten , 1966 's `` Dear Uncle Sam '' , was among the very first recordings to recount the human costs of the Vietnam War . In the latter half of the decade , although she still worked within the confines of honky tonk , her sound became more personal , varied , and ambitious , particularly lyrically . Beginning with 1966 's Number 1 hit in Cash Box , `` You Ai n't Woman Enough ( To Take My Man ) '' , Lynn began writing songs with a feminist viewpoint , which was unheard of in country music . This song made Lynn the first country female recording artist to pen a No. 1 hit . 1967 -- 1980 : breakthrough success ( edit ) In 1967 Lynn reached No. 1 with `` Do n't Come Home A-Drinkin ' ( With Lovin ' on Your Mind ) '' . `` Do n't Come Home A-Drinkin '' went to No. 1 and became one of the first albums by a female country artist to reach sales of 500,000 copies . Lynn 's next album , Fist City , was released in 1968 . The title track became Lynn 's second No. 1 hit , as a single earlier that year , and the other single from the album , `` What Kind of a Girl ( Do You Think I Am ) '' , peaked within the Top 10 . In 1968 , her next studio album , Your Squaw Is on the Warpath , spawned two Top 5 Country hits : the title track and `` You 've Just Stepped In ( From Stepping Out on Me ) '' . In 1969 , her next single , `` Woman of the World ( Leave My World Alone ) '' , was Lynn 's third chart - topper , followed by a subsequent Top 10 , `` To Make a Man ( Feel Like a Man ) '' . She was reportedly once inspired to write a song about a real woman she suspected was flirting with her husband . The song , `` You Ai n't Woman Enough ( To Take My Man ) '' , was an instant hit and became one of Lynn 's all - time most popular . Her career continued to be successful into the 1970s , especially following the success of her hit `` Coal Miner 's Daughter '' , which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart in 1970 , and the album has sold over 5 million copies worldwide . `` Coal Miner 's Daughter '' tells the story of Lynn 's life growing up in rural Butcher Hollow , Kentucky . The song became her first single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 , peaking at No. 83 . She had a series of singles that charted low on the Hot 100 between 1970 and 1975 . The song `` Coal Miner 's Daughter '' later served as the impetus for the best - selling autobiography ( 1976 ) and the Oscar - winning biopic , both of which share the song 's title . In 1973 Rated `` X '' peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart and was considered one of Lynn 's most controversial hits . The following year , her next single , `` Love Is the Foundation '' , also became a No. 1 country hit from her album of the same name . The second and last single from that album , `` Hey Loretta '' , became a Top 5 hit . Lynn continued to reach the Top 10 until the end of the decade , including 1975 's `` The Pill '' , considered to be the first song to discuss birth control , other than the 1967 French - language song in French , Pilule d'Or , sung by Luc Dominique . As a songwriter , Lynn felt no topic was off limits , as long as it spoke to other women , and many of her songs were autobiographical . In 1976 , she released her autobiography , Coal Miner 's Daughter , with the help of writer George Vecsey . It became a # 1 bestseller , making Lynn the first country music artist to make The New York Times Best Seller list . This opened a flood gate of country artists who followed with books . By the early 1980s Lynn became the first American female recording artist to chart over fifty top ten hits . Professional partnership with Conway Twitty ( edit ) In 1971 Lynn began a professional partnership with Conway Twitty . As a duo , Lynn and Twitty had five consecutive Number 1 hits between 1971 and 1975 : their first release `` After the Fire Is Gone '' ( 1971 ) , which won them a Grammy award ; `` Lead Me On '' ( 1971 ) ; `` Louisiana Woman , Mississippi Man '' ( 1973 ) ; `` As Soon as I Hang Up the Phone '' ( 1974 ) ; and `` Feelins ' '' ( 1974 ) . The hit - streak kick - started what became one of the most successful duos of country history . For four consecutive years ( 1972 -- 1975 ) , Lynn and Twitty were named the `` Vocal Duo of the Year '' by the Country Music Association . The Academy of Country Music named them the `` Best Vocal Duet '' in 1971 , 1974 , 1975 , and 1976 . The American Music awards selected them as the `` Favorite Country Duo '' in 1975 , 1976 and 1977 . The fan - voted Music City News readers voted them the No. 1 duet every year between 1971 and 1981 , inclusive . In addition to their five Number 1 singles , they had seven other Top 10 hits between 1976 and 1981 . Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty are the most successful and most awarded male / female duet teams in country music history . Conway and Loretta , their duo name , released an album in 1977 titled `` Dynamic Duo '' , and they were considered that by their many fans . Loretta Lynn touring in 1975 As a solo artist , Lynn continued to be very successful into 1971 , achieving her fifth No. 1 solo hit , `` One 's on the Way '' , written by poet and songwriter Shel Silverstein . The songs that did n't reach the top spot peaked within the Top 10 during this time : `` I Wanna Be Free '' , `` You 're Lookin ' at Country '' , and 1972 's `` Here I Am Again '' , all released on separate albums . The next year , she became the first country star on the cover of Newsweek . In 1972 , Lynn was the first woman nominated and the first woman to win the prestigious Entertainer Of The Year award at The CMA awards . She won the Female Vocalist Of The Year and Duo Of The Year with Conway Twitty , beating out George Jones and Tammy Wynette and Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton . Tribute album for Patsy Cline ( edit ) In 1977 Lynn recorded I Remember Patsy , an album dedicated to her friend and country pop singer Patsy Cline , who had died in a plane crash in 1963 . The album covered some of Cline 's biggest hits . The two singles Lynn released from the album , `` She 's Got You '' and `` Why Ca n't He Be You '' , became major hits . `` She 's Got You '' , which went to # 1 by Cline in 1962 , went to # 1 again that year by Lynn . `` Why Ca n't He Be You '' peaked at # 7 shortly afterward . Lynn enjoyed enormous success on country radio until the early 1980s , when a more pop - flavored type of country music began to dominate the market . She stayed within the country Top 10 until the mid 1980s ; however , most of her music by the late 1970s had a slick pop sound to it . Lynn had her last No. 1 hit in 1978 with `` Out of My Head and Back in My Bed '' . In 1979 she had two Top 5 hits , `` I Ca n't Feel You Anymore '' and `` I 've Got a Picture of Us on My Mind '' , from separate albums . Lynn would often sit for an hour or more onstage signing autographs to her fans after a performance . Once in Salisbury , Maryland , the town 's newspaper editor interviewed her while she was signing autographs . Editor Mel Toadvine asked her why she took so much time to sign autographs while more than 100 people stood in line all the way to the front of the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center . `` These people are my fans ... I 'll stay here until the very last one wants my autograph . Without these people , I am nobody . I love these people '' , she told Toadvine . In 1979 , she became the spokesperson for Procter & Gamble 's Crisco oil and did TV commercials and print ads for them for a decade , ending in 1989 . Because of her dominant hold on the 1970s , Lynn was named the `` Artist of the Decade '' by the Academy of Country Music . She is the only woman to win this honor . 1980 -- 1989 : continued success ( edit ) On March 5 , 1980 , the film Coal Miner 's Daughter debuted in Nashville and soon became the No. 1 box office hit in the United States . Lynn crossed over from country music superstar to American legend . The film starred Sissy Spacek as Loretta and Tommy Lee Jones as Mooney Lynn . The film received seven Academy Award nominations , winning the Best Actress Oscar for Spacek and a slew of other top honors , including a gold album for the soundtrack album , a Grammy nomination for Spacek 's singing as Lynn , Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music awards , plus several Golden Globe awards . The 1980s featured more hits : ( `` Pregnant Again '' , `` Naked in the Rain '' , and `` Somebody Led Me Away '' ) . Her 1980 and 1981 albums Loretta and Lookin ' Good spawned these hits . Lynn was the first woman in country music to have 50 Top 10 hits . Her last Top 10 record as a soloist was `` I Lie '' in 1982 , but her releases continued to chart until the end of the decade . Lynn continued to have Top 20 hits throughout the 1980s . One of her last solo releases was `` Heart Do n't Do This to Me '' ( 1985 ) , which reached No. 19 -- her last Top 20 hit . In 1993 , Lynn stopped releasing singles and focused more on touring than promoting . As a concert artist , she remained a top draw throughout her career , but by the early 1990s she drastically cut down the number of personal appearances owing to the fragile health of her husband , who died in 1996 . Her 1985 album Just a Woman spawned a Top 40 hit .

Raised in rural Kentucky , she emerged as one of the first successful female country music vocalists in the early 1960s , courageously breaking barriers in an industry long dominated by men . Ms. Lynn 's numerous accolades include the Kennedy Center Honors in 2003 and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010 . '' Lynn received two additional career - acknowledging awards in 2015 .

Bayless , about a wife and mother becoming liberated by the birth - control pill .

In 1971 Lynn was the first solo female country artist to perform at the White House , at the invitation of President Richard Nixon .

At other times , she has questioned both political parties : `` Dear Uncle Sam '' was written in 1966 during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration to `` recount the human costs of the Vietnam War '' , and she made a return to her live sets during the Iraq War under George W. Bush 's presidency .

"Lynn's relationship with the Wilburn Brothers and her appearances on the Grand Ole Opry, beginning in 1960,[18] helped Lynn become the number one female recording artist in country music. Her contract with the Wilburn Brothers gave them the publishing rights to her material. She was still fighting to regain these rights 30 years after ending her business relationship with them but was ultimately denied the publishing rights. Lynn stopped writing music in the 1970s because of these contracts. Although Kitty Wells had become the first major female country vocalist during the 1950s, by the time Lynn recorded her first record, only three other women—Patsy Cline, Skeeter Davis, and Jean Shepard—had become top stars. Lynn joined The Grand Ole Opry on September 25, 1962.[2]\n"

-4143870957517120660 | Tornado records | Tornado records - wikipedia Tornado records Jump to : navigation , search A map of the tornado paths in the 1974 Super Outbreak This article lists various tornado records . The most `` extreme '' tornado in recorded history was the Tri-State Tornado , which spread through parts of Missouri , Illinois , and Indiana on March 18 , 1925 . It is considered an F5 , even though tornadoes were not ranked on any scale in that era . It holds records for longest path length at 219 miles ( 352 km ) , longest duration at about 31⁄2 hours , and fastest forward speed for a significant tornado at 73 mph ( 117 km / h ) anywhere on Earth . In addition , it is the deadliest single tornado in United States history with 695 fatalities . It was also the third - costliest tornado in history at the time , but has been surpassed by several others non-normalized . When costs are normalized for wealth and inflation , it still ranks third today . The deadliest tornado in world history was the Daulatpur -- Saturia tornado in Bangladesh on April 26 , 1989 , which killed approximately 1,300 people . In its history Bangladesh has had at least 19 tornadoes kill more than 100 people , almost half of the total for the rest of the world . For 37 years , the most extensive tornado outbreak on record , in almost every category , was the 1974 Super Outbreak , which affected a large area of the central United States and extreme southern Ontario in Canada on April 3 and April 4 , 1974 . Not only did this outbreak feature 148 tornadoes in only 18 hours , but an unprecedented number of them were violent ; 7 were of F5 intensity and 23 were F4 . During the peak of this outbreak there were 16 tornadoes on the ground at the same time . More than 300 people , possibly as many as 330 , were killed by tornadoes during this outbreak . However , this record was later broken during the 2011 Super Outbreak , which resulted in 360 tornadoes and 324 tornadic fatalities .

It produced 360 tornadoes , with 216 of those in a single 24 - hour period on April 27 , including 11 EF4 and 4 EF5 tornadoes. 348 deaths occurred in that outbreak , of which 324 were tornado related . The outbreak helped smash the record for most tornadoes in the month of April with 770 tornadoes , almost triple the prior record ( 267 in April 1974 ) . The overall record for a single month was 542 in May 2003 , which was also broken . The infamous 1974 Super Outbreak of April 3 -- 4 , 1974 , which spawned 148 confirmed tornadoes across eastern North America , held the record for the most prolific tornado outbreak for many years . Not only did it produce an exceptional number of tornadoes , but it was also an inordinately intense outbreak producing dozens of large , long - track tornadoes , including 7 F5 and 23 F4 tornadoes . More significant tornadoes occurred within 24 hours than any other week in the tornado record . Due to a secular trend in tornado reporting , the 2011 and 1974 tornado counts are not directly comparable . Longest continuous outbreak and largest autumnal outbreak ( edit ) Most tornado outbreaks in North America occur in the spring , but there is a secondary peak of tornado activity in the fall which is less consistent but can include exceptionally large and / or intense outbreaks . In 1992 , an estimated 95 tornadoes broke out in a record 41 hours of continuous tornado activity from November 21 to 23 . This is also among the largest - known outbreaks in areal expanse . Many other very large outbreaks have occurred in autumn , especially in October and November . Greatest number of tornadoes spawned from a hurricane ( edit ) The greatest number of tornadoes spawned from a hurricane is 118 from Hurricane Ivan in 2004 . Caution is advised comparing the raw number of counted tornadoes from recent decades to decades prior to the 1990s since more tornadoes that occur are now recorded than in the past .

Alaska , California , Hawaii , Nevada , Rhode Island and Vermont are excluded from this list because they have no recorded tornadic deaths . Deadliest single tornado in world history ( edit ) On April 26 , 1989 in Bangladesh a massive tornado took at least 1,300 lives . Deadliest single tornado in US history ( edit ) The Tri-State Tornado of March 18 , 1925 killed 695 people in Missouri ( 11 ) , Illinois ( 613 ) , and Indiana ( 71 ) . The outbreak it occurred with was also the deadliest known tornado outbreak , with a combined death toll of 747 across the Mississippi River Valley . Most damaging tornado ( edit ) Similar to fatalities , damage ( and observations ) of a tornado are a coincidence of what character of tornado interacts with certain characteristics of built up areas . That is , destructive tornadoes are in a sense `` accidents '' of a large tornado striking a large population . In addition to population and changes thereof , comparing damage historically is subject to changes in wealth and inflation . The 1896 St. Louis -- East St. Louis tornado on May 27 , incurred the most damages adjusted for wealth and inflation , at an estimated $2.9 billion ( 1997 USD ) . In raw numbers , the Joplin tornado of May 22 , 2011 is considered the costliest tornado in recent history , with damage totals near $2.8 billion ( 2011 USD ) . Until 2011 , the `` Bridge Creek - Moore tornado '' of May 3 , 1999 was the most damaging . Largest and most powerful tornadoes ( edit ) Highest winds observed in a tornado ( edit ) During the F5 1999 Bridge Creek -- Moore tornado on May 3 , 1999 in the southern Oklahoma City metro area , a Doppler on Wheels situated near the tornado measured winds of 302 ± 20 mph ( 486 ± 32 km / h ) momentarily in a small area inside the funnel approximately 100 m ( 330 ft ) above ground level . These are also the highest wind speeds observed on Earth . On May 31 , 2013 , a tornado hit rural areas near El Reno , Oklahoma . The tornado was originally rated as an EF3 based on damage ; however , after mobile radar data analysis was conducted , it was concluded to have been an EF5 due to a measured wind speed of greater than 296 mph ( 476 km / h ) , second only to the Bridge Creek - Moore tornado . Revised RaXPol analysis found winds of 302 mph ( 486 km / h ) well above ground level and ≥ 291 mph ( 468 km / h ) below 10 m ( 33 ft ) with some subvortices moving at 175 mph ( 282 km / h ) . These winds may possibly be as high or higher than the winds recorded on May 3 , 1999 . Despite the recorded windspeed , the El Reno tornado was later downgraded back to EF3 due to the fact that no EF5 damage was found , likely due to the lack of sufficient damage indicators in the largely rural area west of Oklahoma City . Winds were measured at 257 -- 268 mph ( 414 -- 431 km / h ) using portable Doppler radar in the Red Rock , Oklahoma tornado during the April 26 , 1991 tornado outbreak in north - central Oklahoma . Though these winds are possibly indicative of an F5 strength tornado , this particular tornado 's path never encountered any significant structures and caused minimal damage . Thus it was rated an F4 . Longest damage path and duration ( edit ) The longest - known track for a single tornado is the Tri-State Tornado with a path length of 151 to 235 mi ( 243 to 378 km ) . For years there was debate whether the originally recognized path length of 219 mi ( 352 km ) over 3.5 hours was from one tornado or a series . Some very long track ( VLT ) tornadoes were later determined to be successive tornadoes spawned by the same supercell thunderstorm , which are known as a tornado family . The Tri-State Tornado , however , appeared to have no gaps in the damage . A six - year reanalysis study by a team of severe convective storm meteorologists found insufficient evidence to make firm conclusions but does conclude that it is likely that the beginning and ending of the path was resultant of separate tornadoes comprising a tornado family . It also found that the tornado began 15 mi ( 24 km ) to the west and ended 1 mi ( 1.6 km ) farther east than previously known , bringing the total path to 235 mi ( 378 km ) . The 174 mi ( 280 km ) segment from central Madison County , Missouri to Pike County , Indiana is likely one continuous tornado and the 151 mi ( 243 km ) segment from central Bollinger County , Missouri to western Pike County , Indiana is very likely a single continuous tornado . Another significant tornado was found about 65 mi ( 105 km ) east - northeast of the end of aforementioned segment ( s ) of the Tri-State Tornado Family and is likely another member of the family . Its path length of 20 mi ( 32 km ) over about 20 minutes makes the known tornado family path length total to 320 mi ( 510 km ) over about 51⁄2 hours . Grazulis in 2001 wrote that the first 60 mi ( 97 km ) of the ( originally recognized ) track is probably the result of two or more tornadoes and that a path length of 157 mi ( 253 km ) was seemingly continuous . Longest path and duration tornado family ( edit ) What at one time was thought to be the record holder for the longest tornado path is now thought to be the longest tornado family , with a track of at least 293 miles ( 472 km ) on May 26 , 1917 from the Missouri border across Illinois into Indiana . It caused severe damage and mass casualties in Charleston and Mattoon , Illinois . What was probably the longest track supercell thunderstorm tracked 790 miles ( 1,270 km ) across 6 states in 17.5 hours on March 12 , 2006 as part of the March 2006 tornado outbreak sequence . It began in Noble County , Oklahoma and ended in Jackson County , Michigan , producing many tornadoes in Missouri and Illinois . Largest path width ( edit ) Officially , the widest tornado on record is the El Reno , Oklahoma tornado of May 31 , 2013 with a width of 2.6 miles ( 4.2 km ) at its peak . This is the width found by the National Weather Service based on preliminary data from University of Oklahoma RaxPol mobile radar that also sampled winds of 296 mph ( 476 km / h ) which was used to upgrade the tornado to EF5 . However , it was revealed that these winds did not impact any structures , and as a result the tornado was downgraded to EF3 based on damage . However , another possible contender for the widest tornado as measured by radar was the F4 Mulhall tornado in north - central Oklahoma which occurred during the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak . The diameter of the maximum winds ( over 110 mph ( 49 m / s ) ) was over 5,200 feet ( 1,600 m ) as measured by a DOW radar . Although the tornado passed largely over rural terrain , the width of the wind swath capable of producing damage was as wide as 4 mi ( 6.4 km ) . The F4 Hallam , Nebraska tornado during the outbreak of May 22 , 2004 was the previous official record holder for the widest tornado , surveyed at 2.5 miles ( 4.0 km ) wide . A similar size tornado struck Edmonson , Texas on May 31 , 1968 , when a damage path width between 2 to 3 miles ( 3.2 to 4.8 km ) was recorded from an F3 tornado . Highest forward speed ( edit ) The highest forward speed of a tornado on record was 73 miles per hour ( 117 km / h ) from the 1925 Tri-State Tornado ( other weak tornadoes have approached or exceeded this speed , but this is the fastest forward movement observed in a major tornado ) . Greatest pressure drop ( edit ) A pressure deficit of 100 millibars ( 2.95 inHg ) was observed when a violent tornado near Manchester , South Dakota on June 24 , 2003 passed directly over an in - situ probe that storm chasing researcher Tim Samaras deployed . In less than a minute , the pressure dropped to 850 millibars ( 25.10 inHg ) , which are the greatest pressure decline and the lowest pressure ever recorded at the Earth 's surface when adjusted to sea level . On April 21 , 2007 , a 194 - millibar ( 5.73 inHg ) pressure deficit was reported when a tornado struck a storm chasing vehicle in Tulia , Texas . The tornado caused EF2 damage as it passed through Tulia . The reported pressure drop far exceeds that which would be expected based on theoretical calculations . There is a questionable and unofficial citizen 's barometer measurement of a 192 - millibar ( 5.67 inHg ) drop around Minneapolis in 1904 . Early tornadoes ( edit ) Earliest - known tornado in Europe ( edit ) The earliest recorded tornado in Europe struck Rosdalla , near Kilbeggan , Ireland on April 30 , 1054 . The earliest - known British tornado hit central London on October 23 , 1091 and was especially destructive . Earliest - known tornado in the Americas ( edit ) An apparent tornado is recorded to have struck Tlatelolco ( present day Mexico City ) , on August 21 , 1521 , two days before the Aztec capital 's fall to Cortés . Many other tornadoes are documented historically within the Basin of Mexico . First confirmed tornado and first tornado fatality in present - day United States ( edit ) August 1671 - Rehoboth , Massachusetts July 8 , 1680 - Cambridge , Massachusetts - 1 dead Exceptional tornado droughts ( edit ) Longest span without a tornado rated F5 or EF5 ( edit ) Before the Greensburg EF5 tornado on May 4 , 2007 , it had been 8 years and one day since the US had a confirmed F5 or EF5 tornado . The last confirmed F5 or EF5 had hit southern Oklahoma City metro area and surrounding communities during the May 3 , 1999 event . This is the longest interval without an F5 or EF5 tornado since official records began in 1950 . Exceptional survivors ( edit ) Longest distance carried by a tornado ( edit ) Matt Suter of Fordland , Missouri holds the record for the longest - known distance traveled by anyone picked up by a tornado and survive . On March 12 , 2006 he was carried 1,307 feet ( 398 m ) , 13 feet ( 4.0 m ) shy of one - quarter mile ( 400 m ) , according to National Weather Service measurements . Exceptional coincidences ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( June 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Codell , Kansas ( edit ) The small town of Codell , Kansas , was hit by a tornado on the same date ( May 20 ) three consecutive years : 1916 , 1917 , and 1918 . The United States has about 100,000 thunderstorms per year ; less than 1 % produce a tornado . The odds of this coincidence occurring again are extremely small . Tanner / Harvest , Alabama ( edit ) Tanner , a small town in northern Alabama , was hit by an F5 tornado on April 3 , 1974 and was struck again 45 minutes later by a second F5 ( however , the rating is disputed and it may have been high - end F4 ) , demolishing what remained of the town . Thirty - seven years later , on April 27 , 2011 ( the largest and deadliest outbreak since 1974 ) , Tanner was hit yet again by the EF5 2011 Hackleburg -- Phil Campbell , Alabama tornado , which produced high - end EF4 damage in the southern portion of town . The suburban community of Harvest , Alabama , just to the northeast , also sustained major impacts from all three Tanner tornadoes , and was also hit by destructive tornadoes in 1995 and 2012 . Moore , Oklahoma ( edit ) The south Oklahoma City suburb of Moore , Oklahoma was hit by tornadoes in 1973 , 1999 , 2003 , 2010 , 2013 , and 2015 , five of which were of F4 / EF4 strength or greater , although it was determined that the tornado in 2003 caused no F4 damage within Moore itself , but in areas to its northeast . The 1999 and 2013 events were rated F5 and EF5 , respectively . In total , about 23 tornadoes have struck within the immediate vicinity of Moore since 1890 , the most recent of which was an EF2 on March 25 , 2015 . Jackson , Tennessee ( edit ) The city of Jackson , Tennessee has been hit by an F4 / EF4 tornado three separate times , in 1999 , 2003 , and 2008 . Interestingly , all three of these tornadoes occurred after dark and were preceded or followed by a separate F3 / EF3 tornado that caused additional destruction in the Jackson area . Grand Island , Nebraska ( edit ) The Grand Island , Nebraska area was hit by seven tornadoes in 4 hours .

It is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington , D.C. , and has been the residence of every U.S. president since John Adams in 1800 . The term White House is often used as a metonym for the president and his advisers , as in `` The White House announced that ... '' . The residence was designed by Irish - born architect James Hoban in the neoclassical style . Construction took place between 1792 and 1800 using Aquia Creek sandstone painted white . When Thomas Jefferson moved into the house in 1801 , he ( with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe ) added low colonnades on each wing that concealed stables and storage . In 1814 , during the War of 1812 , the mansion was set ablaze by the British Army in the Burning of Washington , destroying the interior and charring much of the exterior . Reconstruction began almost immediately , and President James Monroe moved into the partially reconstructed Executive Residence in October 1817 . Exterior construction continued with the addition of the semi-circular South portico in 1824 and the North portico in 1829 . Because of crowding within the executive mansion itself , President Theodore Roosevelt had all work offices relocated to the newly constructed West Wing in 1901 . Eight years later in 1909 , President William Howard Taft expanded the West Wing and created the first Oval Office , which was eventually moved as the section was expanded . In the main mansion , the third - floor attic was converted to living quarters in 1927 by augmenting the existing hip roof with long shed dormers . A newly constructed East Wing was used as a reception area for social events ; Jefferson 's colonnades connected the new wings . East Wing alterations were completed in 1946 , creating additional office space . By 1948 , the residence 's load - bearing exterior walls and internal wood beams were found to be close to failure . Under Harry S. Truman , the interior rooms were completely dismantled and a new internal load - bearing steel frame constructed inside the walls . Once this work was completed , the interior rooms were rebuilt . The modern - day White House complex includes the Executive Residence , West Wing , East Wing , the Eisenhower Executive Office Building -- the former State Department , which now houses offices for the President 's staff and the Vice President -- and Blair House , a guest residence . The Executive Residence is made up of six stories -- the Ground Floor , State Floor , Second Floor , and Third Floor , as well as a two - story basement . The property is a National Heritage Site owned by the National Park Service and is part of the President 's Park . In 2007 , it was ranked second on the American Institute of Architects list of `` America 's Favorite Architecture '' .

In May 1790 , New York began construction of Government House for his official residence , but he never occupied it . The national capital moved to Philadelphia in December 1790 . The July 1790 Residence Act named Philadelphia , Pennsylvania the temporary national capital for a 10 - year period while the Federal City was under construction . The City of Philadelphia rented Robert Morris 's city house at 190 High Street ( now 524 -- 30 Market Street ) for Washington 's presidential residence . The first president occupied the Market Street mansion from November 1790 to March 1797 , and altered it in ways that may have influenced the design of the White House . As part of a futile effort to have Philadelphia named the permanent national capital , Pennsylvania built a much grander presidential mansion several blocks away , but Washington declined to occupy it . President John Adams also occupied the Market Street mansion from March 1797 to May 1800 . On Saturday , November 1 , 1800 , he became the first president to occupy the White House . The President 's House in Philadelphia became a hotel and was demolished in 1832 , while the unused presidential mansion became home to the University of Pennsylvania .

Drawing of Andrea Palladio , Project for Francesco et Lodovico de Trissini , from the book I quattro libri dell'architettura , 1570 The North Portico of the White House compared to Leinster House The Château de Rastignac compared to the South Portico of the White House , ca . 1846 The President 's House was a major feature of Pierre ( Peter ) Charles L'Enfant's ' plan for the newly established federal city , Washington , D.C. ( see : L'Enfant Plan ) . The architect of the White House was chosen in a design competition which received nine proposals , including one submitted anonymously by Thomas Jefferson . President Washington visited Charleston , South Carolina in May 1791 on his `` Southern Tour '' , and saw the under - construction Charleston County Courthouse designed by Irish architect James Hoban . He is reputed to have met with Hoban then . The following year , he summoned the architect to Philadelphia and met with him in June 1792 . On July 16 , 1792 , the President met with the commissioners of the federal city to make his judgment in the architectural competition . His review is recorded as being brief , and he quickly selected Hoban 's submission . Washington was not entirely pleased with the original submission , however ; he found it too small , lacking ornament , and not monumental enough to house the nation 's president . On his recommendation , the house was changed from three stories to two , and was widened from a nine - bay facade to an 11 - bay facade . Hoban 's competition drawings do not survive . Design influences The building has classical inspiration sources , that could be found directly or indirectly in the Roman architect Vitruvius or in Andrea Palladio styles ; Palladio being an Italian architect of the Renaissance which had a considerable influence on the Western architecture ( Palladian architecture ) . The building Hoban designed is verifiably influenced by the upper floors of Leinster House , in Dublin , which later became the seat of the Oireachtas ( the Irish parliament ) . Several other Georgian - era Irish country houses have been suggested as sources of inspiration for the overall floor plan , details like the bow - fronted south front , and interior details like the former niches in the present Blue Room . These influences , though undocumented , are cited in the official White House guide , and in White House Historical Association publications . The first official White House guide , published in 1962 , suggested a link between Hoban 's design for the South Portico and Château de Rastignac , a neoclassical country house located in La Bachellerie in the Dordogne region of France and designed by Mathurin Salat . Construction on the French house was initially started before 1789 , interrupted by the French Revolution for twenty years and then finally built 1812 -- 1817 ( based on Salat 's pre-1789 design ) . The theoretical link between the two houses has been criticized because Hoban did not visit France . Supporters of a connection posit that Thomas Jefferson , during his tour of Bordeaux in 1789 , viewed Salat 's architectural drawings ( which were on - file at the College ) at the École Spéciale d'Architecture ( Bordeaux Architectural College ) . On his return to the U.S. he then shared the influence with Washington , Hoban , Monroe , and Benjamin Henry Latrobe . Construction Construction of the White House began with the laying of the cornerstone on October 13 , 1792 , although there was no formal ceremony . The main residence , as well as foundations of the house , were built largely by enslaved and free African - American laborers , as well as employed Europeans . Much of the other work on the house was performed by immigrants , many not yet with citizenship . The sandstone walls were erected by Scottish immigrants , employed by Hoban , as were the high - relief rose and garland decorations above the north entrance and the `` fish scale '' pattern beneath the pediments of the window hoods . There are conflicting claims as to where the sandstone used in the construction of the White House originated . Some reports suggest sandstone from the Croatian island of Brač ( specifically the Pučišća querry whose stone was used to build the ancient Roman palace of Emperor Diocletian ) was used in the original construction of the building , contrarily researchers believe limestone from the island was used in the 1902 renovations and not the original construction . Others suggest the original sandstone simply came from Aquia Creek in Stafford County , Virginia , as importing the stone would be too costly . The initial construction took place over a period of eight years , at a reported cost of $232,371.83 ( equal to $3,350,711 today ) . Although not yet completed , the White House was ready for occupancy circa November 1 , 1800 . Shortages , including material and labor , forced alterations to the earlier plan developed by French engineer Pierre Charles L'Enfant for a `` palace '' that was five times larger than the house that was eventually built . The finished structure contained only two main floors instead of the planned three , and a less costly brick served as a lining for the stone façades . When construction was finished , the porous sandstone walls were whitewashed with a mixture of lime , rice glue , casein , and lead , giving the house its familiar color and name . As it is a famed structure in America , several replicas of the White House have been constructed . Architectural description The north front is the principal façade of the White House and consists of three floors and eleven bays . The ground floor is hidden by a raised carriage ramp and parapet , thus the façade appears to be of two floors . The central three bays are behind a prostyle portico ( this was a later addition to the house , built circa 1830 ) serving , thanks to the carriage ramp , as a porte cochere . The windows of the four bays flanking the portico , at first - floor level , have alternating pointed and segmented pediments , while at second - floor level the pediments are flat . The principal entrance at the center of the portico is surmounted by a lunette fanlight . Above the entrance is a sculpted floral festoon . The roofline is hidden by a balustraded parapet . The mansion 's southern façade is a combination of the Palladian and neoclassical styles of architecture . It is of three floors , all visible . The ground floor is rusticated in the Palladian fashion . At the center of the façade is a neoclassical projecting bow of three bays . The bow is flanked by five bays , the windows of which , as on the north façade , have alternating segmented and pointed pediments at first - floor level . The bow has a ground floor double staircase leading to an Ionic colonnaded loggia ( with the Truman Balcony at second - floor level ) , known as the south portico . The more modern third floor is hidden by a balustraded parapet and plays no part in the composition of the façade . Naming conventions The building was originally variously referred to as the `` President 's Palace '' , `` Presidential Mansion '' , or `` President 's House '' . The earliest evidence of the public calling it the `` White House '' was recorded in 1811 . A myth emerged that during the rebuilding of the structure after the Burning of Washington , white paint was applied to mask the burn damage it had suffered , giving the building its namesake hue . The name `` Executive Mansion '' was used in official contexts until President Theodore Roosevelt established the formal name by having `` White House -- Washington '' engraved on the stationery in 1901 . The current letterhead wording and arrangement `` The White House '' with the word `` Washington '' centered beneath goes back to the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt . Although the structure was not completed until some years after the presidency of George Washington , there is speculation that the name of the traditional residence of the President of the United States may have derived from Martha Washington 's home , White House Plantation in Virginia , where the nation 's first President had courted the First Lady in the mid-18th century . Evolution of the White House Early use , the 1814 fire , and rebuilding On Saturday , November 1 , 1800 , John Adams became the first president to take residence in the building . During Adams ' second day in the house , he wrote a letter to his wife Abigail , containing a prayer for the house . Adams wrote : I pray Heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this House , and all that shall hereafter inhabit it . May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof . Franklin D. Roosevelt had Adams 's blessing carved into the mantel in the State Dining Room . Adams lived in the house only briefly before Thomas Jefferson moved into the `` pleasant country residence '' in 1801 . Despite his complaints that the house was too big ( `` big enough for two emperors , one pope , and the grand lama in the bargain '' ) , Jefferson considered how the White House might be added to . With Benjamin Henry Latrobe , he helped lay out the design for the East and West Colonnades , small wings that help conceal the domestic operations of laundry , a stable and storage . Today , Jefferson 's colonnades link the residence with the East and West Wings . In 1814 , during the War of 1812 , the White House was set ablaze by British troops during the Burning of Washington , in retaliation for burning Upper Canada 's Parliament Buildings in the Battle of York ; much of Washington was affected by these fires as well . Only the exterior walls remained , and they had to be torn down and mostly reconstructed because of weakening from the fire and subsequent exposure to the elements , except for portions of the south wall . Of the numerous objects taken from the White House when it was ransacked by British troops , only two have been recovered . Employees and slaves rescued a painting of George Washington , and in 1939 , a Canadian man returned a jewelry box to President Franklin D. Roosevelt , claiming that his grandfather had taken it from Washington . Some observers allege that most of these spoils were lost when a convoy of British ships led by HMS Fantome sank en route to Halifax off Prospect during a storm on the night of November 24 , 1814 , even though Fantome had no involvement in that action . After the fire , President James Madison resided in The Octagon House from 1814 to 1815 , and then the Seven Buildings from 1815 to the end of his term . Meanwhile , both architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe and Hoban contributed to the design and oversight of the reconstruction , which lasted from 1815 until 1817 . The south portico was constructed in 1824 during the James Monroe administration ; the north portico was built six years later . Though Latrobe proposed similar porticos before the fire in 1814 , both porticos were built as designed by Hoban . An elliptical portico at Château de Rastignac in La Bachellerie , France with nearly identical curved stairs is speculated as the source of inspiration due to its similarity with the South Portico , although this matter is one of great debate . Italian artisans , brought to Washington to help in constructing the U.S. Capitol , carved the decorative stonework on both porticos . Contrary to speculation , the North Portico was not modeled on a similar portico on another Dublin building , the Viceregal Lodge ( now Áras an Uachtaráin , residence of the President of Ireland ) , for its portico postdates the White House porticos ' design . For the North Portico , a variation on the Ionic Order was devised incorporating a swag of roses between the volutes . This was done to link the new portico with the earlier carved roses above the entrance . The White House as it looked following the conflagration of August 24 , 1814 Jefferson and Latrobe 's West Wing Colonnade , in this nineteenth - century engraved view , is now the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room . Principal story plan for the white house by Benjamin Henry Latrobe , 1807 . Earliest known photograph of the White House , taken c. 1846 by John Plumbe during the administration of James K. Polk . Overcrowding and building the West Wing Entrance Hall in 1882 , showing the new Tiffany glass screen By the time of the American Civil War , the White House had become overcrowded . The location of the White House was questioned , just north of a canal and swampy lands , which provided conditions ripe for malaria and other unhealthy conditions . Brigadier General Nathaniel Michler was tasked to propose solutions to address these concerns . He proposed abandoning the use of the White House as a residence and designed a new estate for the first family at Meridian Hill in Washington , D.C. , but Congress rejected the plan . Proposed additions to the White House , drawn by architect Frederick D. Owen ( 1901 ) . The White House North Lawn in the 1860s , during the Abraham Lincoln administration When Chester Arthur took office in 1881 , he ordered renovations to the White House to take place as soon as the recently widowed Lucretia Garfield moved out . Arthur inspected the work almost nightly and made several suggestions . Louis Comfort Tiffany was asked to send selected designers to assist . Over twenty wagonloads of furniture and household items were removed from the building and sold at a public auction . All that was saved were bust portraits of John Adams and Martin Van Buren . A proposal was made to build a new residence south of the White House , but it failed to gain support . In the fall of 1882 work was done on the main corridor , including tinting the walls pale olive and adding squares of gold leaf , and decorating the ceiling in gold and silver , and colorful traceries woven to spell `` USA '' . The Red Room was painted a dull Pomeranian red , and its ceiling was decorated with gold , silver , and copper stars and stripes of red , white , and blue . A fifty - foot jeweled Tiffany glass screen , supported by imitation marble columns , replaced the glass doors that separated the main corridor from the north vestibule . In 1891 , First Lady Caroline Harrison proposed major extensions to the White House , including a National Wing on the east for a historical art gallery , and a wing on the west for official functions . A plan was devised by Colonel Theodore A. Bingham , which reflected the Harrison proposal . These plans were ultimately rejected . However , in 1902 Theodore Roosevelt hired McKim , Mead & White to carry out expansions and renovations in a neoclassical style suited to the building 's architecture , removing the Tiffany screen and all Victorian additions . Charles McKim himself designed and managed the project , which gave more living space to the President 's large family by removing a staircase in the West Hall and moving executive office staff from the second floor of the residence into the new West Wing . President William Howard Taft enlisted the help of architect Nathan C. Wyeth to add additional space to the West Wing , which included the addition of the Oval Office . In 1925 , Congress enacted legislation allowing the White House to accept gifts of furniture and art for the first time . The West Wing was damaged by fire in 1929 , but rebuilt during the remaining years of the Herbert Hoover presidency . In the 1930s , a second story was added , as well as a larger basement for White House staff , and President Franklin Roosevelt had the Oval Office moved to its present location : adjacent to the Rose Garden . Truman reconstruction Main article : White House Reconstruction Truman reconstruction , 1949 -- 1952 , a steel structure is built within the exterior shell Decades of poor maintenance , the construction of a fourth story attic during the Coolidge administration , and the addition of a second - floor balcony over the south portico for Harry S. Truman took a great toll on the brick and sandstone structure built around a timber frame . By 1948 , the house was declared to be in imminent danger of collapse , forcing President Truman to commission a reconstruction and to live across the street at Blair House from 1949 to 1951 . The work , done by the firm of Philadelphia contractor John McShain , required the complete dismantling of the interior spaces , construction of a new load - bearing internal steel frame and the reconstruction of the original rooms within the new structure . The total cost of the renovations was about $5.7 million ( US $54 million in 2018 ) . Some modifications to the floor plan were made , the largest being the repositioning of the grand staircase to open into the Entrance Hall , rather than the Cross Hall . Central air conditioning was added , as well as two additional sub-basements providing space for workrooms , storage , and a bomb shelter . The Trumans moved back into the White House on March 27 , 1952 . While the house 's structure was kept intact by the Truman reconstruction , much of the new interior finishes were generic , and of little historic value . Much of the original plasterwork , some dating back to the 1814 -- 1816 rebuilding , was too damaged to reinstall , as was the original robust Beaux Arts paneling in the East Room . President Truman had the original timber frame sawed into paneling ; the walls of the Vermeil Room , Library , China Room , and Map Room on the ground floor of the main residence were paneled in wood from the timbers . Jacqueline Kennedy restoration The Red Room as designed by Stéphane Boudin during the administration of John F. Kennedy Jacqueline Kennedy , wife of President John F. Kennedy ( 1961 -- 63 ) , directed a very extensive and historic redecoration of the house . She enlisted the help of Henry Francis du Pont of the Winterthur Museum to assist in collecting artifacts for the mansion , many of which had once been housed there . Other antiques , fine paintings , and improvements of the Kennedy period were donated to the White House by wealthy philanthropists , including the Crowninshield family , Jane Engelhard , Jayne Wrightsman , and the Oppenheimer family . Stéphane Boudin of the House of Jansen , a Paris interior - design firm that had been recognized worldwide , was employed by Mrs. Kennedy to assist with the decoration . Different periods of the early republic and world history were selected as a theme for each room : the Federal style for the Green Room , French Empire for the Blue Room , American Empire for the Red Room , Louis XVI for the Yellow Oval Room , and Victorian for the president 's study , renamed the Treaty Room . Antique furniture was acquired , and decorative fabric and trim based on period documents was produced and installed . The Kennedy restoration resulted in a more authentic White House of grander stature , which recalled the French taste of Madison and Monroe . In the Diplomatic Reception Room , Mrs. Kennedy installed an antique `` Vue de l'Amérique Nord '' wallpaper which Zuber & Cie had designed in 1834 . The wallpaper had hung previously on the walls of another mansion until 1961 when that house was demolished for a grocery store . Just before the demolition , the wallpaper was salvaged and sold to the White House . The first White House guidebook was produced under the direction of curator Lorraine Waxman Pearce with direct supervision from Mrs. Kennedy . Sale of the guidebook helped finance the restoration . Kennedy showed her restoration of the White House to the public in a televised tour of the house on Valentine 's Day in 1962 . The White House since the Kennedy restoration President Kennedy and Vice President Johnson strolling along the Ellipse , outside the South Portico Congress enacted legislation in September 1961 declaring the White House a museum . Furniture , fixtures , and decorative arts could now be declared either historic or of artistic interest by the President . This prevented them from being sold ( as many objects in the executive mansion had been in the past 150 years ) . When not in use or display at the White House , these items were to be turned over to the Smithsonian Institution for preservation , study , storage , or exhibition . The White House retains the right to have these items returned . Out of respect for the historic character of the White House , no substantive architectural changes have been made to the house since the Truman renovation . Since the Kennedy restoration , every presidential family has made some changes to the private quarters of the White House , but the Committee for the Preservation of the White House must approve any modifications to the State Rooms . Charged with maintaining the historical integrity of the White House , the congressionally authorized committee works with each First Family -- usually represented by the First Lady , the White House Curator , and the Chief Usher -- to implement the family 's proposals for altering the house . During the Nixon administration ( 1969 -- 74 ) , First Lady Pat Nixon refurbished the Green Room , Blue Room , and Red Room , working with Clement Conger , the curator appointed by President Richard Nixon . Mrs. Nixon 's efforts brought more than 600 artifacts to the house , the largest acquisition by any administration . Her husband created the modern press briefing room over Franklin Roosevelt 's old swimming pool . Nixon also added a single - lane bowling alley to the White House basement . Computers and the first laser printer were added during the Carter administration , and the use of computer technology was expanded during the Reagan administration . A Carter - era innovation , a set of solar water heating panels that were mounted on the roof of the White House , was removed during Reagan 's presidency . Redecorations were made to the private family quarters and maintenance was made to public areas during the Reagan years . The house was accredited as a museum in 1988 . In the 1990s , Bill and Hillary Clinton refurbished some rooms with the assistance of Arkansas decorator Kaki Hockersmith , including the Oval Office , the East Room , Blue Room , State Dining Room , Lincoln Bedroom , and Lincoln Sitting Room . During the administration of George W. Bush , First Lady Laura Bush refurbished the Lincoln Bedroom in a style contemporary with the Lincoln era ; the Green Room , Cabinet Room , and theater were also refurbished . The White House became one of the first wheelchair - accessible government buildings in Washington when modifications were made during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt , who used a wheelchair because of his paralytic illness . In the 1990s , Hillary Clinton , at the suggestion of Visitors Office Director Melinda N. Bates , approved the addition of a ramp in the East Wing corridor . It allowed easy wheelchair access for the public tours and special events that enter through the secure entrance building on the east side . In 2003 , the Bush administration reinstalled solar thermal heaters . These units are used to heat water for landscape maintenance personnel and for the presidential pool and spa. 167 solar photovoltaic grid tied panels were installed at the same time on the roof of the maintenance facility . The changes were not publicized as a White House spokeswoman said the changes were an internal matter . The story was picked up by industry trade journals . In 2013 , President Barack Obama had a set of solar panels installed on the roof of the White House , making it the first time solar power would be used for the president 's living quarters . The president usually travels to and from the White House grounds via official motorcade or helicopter . The journey by helicopter was inaugurated in the 1950s , when President Dwight D. Eisenhower began traveling on Marine One to and from his official residence . Layout and amenities Today the group of buildings housing the presidency is known as the White House Complex . It includes the central Executive Residence flanked by the East Wing and West Wing . The Chief Usher coordinates day to day household operations . The White House includes : six stories and 55,000 ft ( 5,100 m ) of floor space , 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms , 412 doors , 147 windows , twenty - eight fireplaces , eight staircases , three elevators , five full - time chefs , a tennis court , a ( single - lane ) bowling alley , a movie theater ( officially called the White House Family Theater ) , a jogging track , a swimming pool , and a putting green . It receives up to 30,000 visitors each week . Layout of entire site White House Complex West Wing Ground floor State floor Second floor ( residence ) Executive residence Main article : Executive Residence The original residence is in the center . Two colonnades -- one on the east and one on the west -- designed by Jefferson , now serve to connect the East and West Wings , added later . The Executive Residence houses the president 's dwelling , as well as rooms for ceremonies and official entertaining . The State Floor of the residence building includes the East Room , Green Room , Blue Room , Red Room , State Dining Room , Family Dining Room , Cross Hall , Entrance Hall , and Grand Staircase . The Ground Floor is made up of the Diplomatic Reception Room , Map Room , China Room , Vermeil Room , Library , the main kitchen , and other offices . The second floor family residence includes the Yellow Oval Room , East and West Sitting Halls , the White House Master Bedroom , President 's Dining Room , the Treaty Room , Lincoln Bedroom and Queens ' Bedroom , as well as two additional bedrooms , a smaller kitchen , and a private dressing room . The third floor consists of the White House Solarium , Game Room , Linen Room , a Diet Kitchen , and another sitting room ( previously used as President George W. Bush 's workout room ) . West Wing Main article : West Wing The West Wing houses the President 's office ( the Oval Office ) and offices of his senior staff , with room for about 50 employees . It also includes the Cabinet Room , where the president conducts business meetings and where the Cabinet meets , as well as the White House Situation Room , James S. Brady Press Briefing Room , and Roosevelt Room . In 2007 , work was completed on renovations of the press briefing room , adding fiber optic cables and LCD screens for the display of charts and graphs . The makeover took 11 months and cost of $8 million , out of which news outlets paid $2 million . In September 2010 , a two - year project began on the West Wing , creating a multistory underground structure ; this will be followed with additional renovation of the wing . The Oval Office , Roosevelt Room , and other portions of the West Wing were partially replicated on a sound stage and used as the setting for the popular television show The West Wing . East Wing Main article : East Wing The East Wing , which contains additional office space , was added to the White House in 1942 . Among its uses , the East Wing has intermittently housed the offices and staff of the First Lady , and the White House Social Office . Rosalynn Carter , in 1977 , was the first to place her personal office in the East Wing and to formally call it the `` Office of the First Lady '' . The East Wing was built during World War II in order to hide the construction of an underground bunker to be used in emergencies . The bunker has come to be known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center . Grounds The White House and grounds cover just over 18 acres ( about 7.3 hectares ) . Before the construction of the North Portico , most public events were entered from the South Lawn , which was graded and planted by Thomas Jefferson . Jefferson also drafted a planting plan for the North Lawn that included large trees that would have mostly obscured the house from Pennsylvania Avenue . During the mid-to - late 19th century a series of ever larger greenhouses were built on the west side of the house , where the current West Wing is located . During this period , the North Lawn was planted with ornate carpet - style flowerbeds . The general layout of the White House grounds today is based on the 1935 design by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. of the Olmsted Brothers firm , commissioned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt . During the Kennedy administration , the White House Rose Garden was redesigned by Rachel Lambert Mellon . The Rose Garden borders the West Colonnade . Bordering the East Colonnade is the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden , which was begun by Jacqueline Kennedy but completed after her husband 's assassination . On the weekend of June 23 , 2006 , a century - old American Elm ( Ulmus americana L . ) tree on the north side of the building , came down during one of the many storms amid intense flooding . Among the oldest trees on the grounds are several magnolias ( Magnolia grandiflora ) planted by Andrew Jackson , including the Jackson Magnolia , reportedly grown from a sprout taken from the favorite tree of Jackson 's recently deceased wife , the sprout planted after Jackson moved into the White House . The tree stood for over 200 years ; but in 2017 , having become too weak to stand on its own , it was decided it should be removed and replaced with one of its offspring . Michelle Obama planted the White House 's first organic garden and installed beehives on the South Lawn of the White House , which will supply organic produce and honey to the First Family and for state dinners and other official gatherings . The Cross Hall , connecting the State Dining Room and the East Room on the State Floor Marine One prepares for landing on the South Lawn where State Arrival Ceremonies for visiting heads of state take place . The White House and surrounding grounds The White House with fountain and grounds White House from the north Public access and security See also : White House Visitors Office and List of White House security breaches Historical accessibility Like the English and Irish country houses it was modeled on , the White House was , from the start , open to the public until the early part of the 20th century . President Thomas Jefferson held an open house for his second inaugural in 1805 , and many of the people at his swearing - in ceremony at the Capitol followed him home , where he greeted them in the Blue Room . Those open houses sometimes became rowdy : in 1829 , President Andrew Jackson had to leave for a hotel when roughly 20,000 citizens celebrated his inauguration inside the White House . His aides ultimately had to lure the mob outside with washtubs filled with a potent cocktail of orange juice and whiskey . Even so , the practice continued until 1885 , when newly elected Grover Cleveland arranged for a presidential review of the troops from a grandstand in front of the White House instead of the traditional open house . Jefferson also permitted public tours of his house , which have continued ever since , except during wartime , and began the tradition of annual receptions on New Year 's Day and on the Fourth of July . Those receptions ended in the early 1930s , although President Bill Clinton briefly revived the New Year 's Day open house in his first term . The White House remained accessible in other ways ; President Abraham Lincoln complained that he was constantly beleaguered by job seekers waiting to ask him for political appointments or other favors , or eccentric dispensers of advice like `` General '' Daniel Pratt , as he began the business day . Lincoln put up with the annoyance rather than risk alienating some associate or friend of a powerful politician or opinion maker . Aviation incidents This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( April 2015 ) In February 1974 , a stolen army helicopter landed without authorization on the White House 's grounds . Twenty years later , in 1994 , a light plane flown by Frank Eugene Corder crashed on the White House grounds , and he died instantly . As a result of increased security regarding air traffic in the capital , the White House was evacuated in May 2005 before an unauthorized aircraft could approach the grounds . Closure of Pennsylvania Avenue On May 20 , 1995 , primarily as a response to the Oklahoma City bombing of April 19 , 1995 , the United States Secret Service closed off Pennsylvania Avenue to vehicular traffic in front of the White House from the eastern edge of Lafayette Park to 17th Street . Later , the closure was extended an additional block to the east to 15th Street , and East Executive Avenue , a small street between the White House and the Treasury Building . After September 11 , 2001 , this was made permanent in addition to closing E Street between the South Portico of the White House and the Ellipse . In response to the Boston Marathon bombing the road was closed to the public in its entirety for a period of two days . The Pennsylvania Avenue closing has been opposed by organized civic groups in Washington , D.C. They argue that the closing impedes traffic flow unnecessarily and is inconsistent with the well - conceived historic plan for the city . As for security considerations , they note that the White House is set much farther back from the street than numerous other sensitive federal buildings are . Prior to its inclusion within the fenced compound that now includes the Old Executive Office Building to the west and the Treasury Building to the east , this sidewalk served as a queuing area for the daily public tours of the White House . These tours were suspended in the wake of the September 11 attacks . In September 2003 , they resumed on a limited basis for groups making prior arrangements through their Congressional representatives or embassies in Washington for foreign nationals and submitting to background checks , but the White House remained closed to the public . White House tours were suspended for most of 2013 due to budget constraints after sequestration . The White House reopened to the public in November 2013 . Protection The White House Complex is protected by the United States Secret Service and the United States Park Police . NASAMS ( Norwegian Advanced Surface to Air Missile System ) were used to guard air space over Washington , D.C. during the 2005 presidential inauguration . The same NASAMS units have since been used to protect the president and all air space around the White House , which is strictly prohibited to aircraft . For security reasons , the section of Pennsylvania Avenue on the north side of the White House is closed to all vehicular traffic , except government officials . White House at night North front of the White House on the reverse ( back ) of the U.S. $20 bill .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Single yellow lines 2 Double yellow lines 2.1 Australia 2.2 Canada 2.3 Finland 2.4 Hong Kong 2.5 India 2.6 Ireland 2.7 Lebanon 2.8 Malaysia 2.9 Malta 2.10 Mauritius 2.11 Singapore 2.12 United Kingdom 2.12. 1 History 2.13 United States 3 References 4 See also Single yellow lines ( edit ) Single yellow lines are common along residential streets near to workplaces A single yellow line is a road marking that is present on the side of the carriageway in the United Kingdom . It indicates that parking or waiting at that roadside is prohibited at certain times of day . The exact times vary by area and are indicated by signs at the roadside . Stopping to load and to pick up or set down passengers is generally allowed unless additional restrictions apply . Countries formerly part of the British Empire are likely to retain a modified version of the British laws including the basic principles regarding road safety . In Malta for example , a single yellow line , means no waiting ( i.e. no parking , but alighting of passengers is permitted ) . The sign is applicable all day . In New South Wales , Australia - single yellow lines indicate a clear way , where parking is strictly prohibited during certain times of the day and / or special events . Single yellow lines are also used in areas with high snow fall to mark the far left side of the road . In Malaysia , single yellow line is used in most roads leading to cities or towns or busy areas to mark parking restriction for certain times . In Canada , Japan , Lebanon , and in some areas in the United States a single yellow line is used to separate traffic coming from opposite directions , where passing is allowed but with extreme caution . Double yellow lines ( edit ) Australia ( edit ) Yellow lines in Australia Yellow road lines are used in the centre of the road in areas with large amounts of snow to contrast with the white colour of snow . These lines are white in areas where there is infrequent or no snow . Canada ( edit ) In Canada , a double yellow line in the centre of the road means that it is unsafe for traffic travelling in either direction to pass ( overtake ) . This is usually found on rolling hills or through corners where visibility is limited . In the province of British Columbia , it is against the law to touch or cross solid double yellow line at any time , except to avoid obstructions on the highway , or when a vehicle is entering or exiting the highway , if the vehicle can safely do so without affecting the flow of other vehicles . Finland ( edit ) In Finland , a double yellow line in the center of the road means that it is unsafe for traffic travelling in either direction to pass ( overtake ) . Hong Kong ( edit ) Hong Kong is one of the regions outside the UK using double yellow lines on the side of carriageways . India ( edit ) A double yellow line , in contrast with a double white line , indicates a no - passing restriction . Double white is just a no - passing suggestion . Ireland ( edit ) Double yellow lines on the side of the road have a similar meaning ( no parking at any time ) as in the United Kingdom . Single yellow line adjacent to a kerb means parking is restricted at certain times . A broken yellow line marks the edge of the carriageway . Lebanon ( edit ) In Lebanon , crossing a yellow line means you entered the area where traffic is coming from the opposite direction . A single solid yellow line means that passing is not advised but you may pass , with extreme caution . A single dashed yellow line means passing is allowed . A double solid yellow line means passing is not allowed under any circumstances . A double dashed line means passing is allowed only if there is no cars you can see coming from the opposite direction . Malaysia ( edit ) Malaysia was once part of the British Empire , and today still applies double yellow line to mark parking restriction for all times . This line can be found in major towns or cities like Kuala Lumpur . Malta ( edit ) A double yellow line means no stopping . This means that unloading of goods and alighting of passengers is not permitted . Mauritius ( edit ) Mauritius was once a British colony , and today still applies double yellow lines to mark restricted parking areas at all hours on the sides of carriageways . Singapore ( edit ) Singapore , a former crown colony of the UK , also uses double yellow lines to indicate no parking at the sides . United Kingdom ( edit ) Double yellow lines in the UK indicate that parking is prohibited . Double yellow lines along the edge of the carriageway indicate that waiting restrictions apply to the road ( which includes the carriageway , footway and verge ) . A driver may stop for passengers to board or alight and to load or unload ( unless there are also ' loading restrictions ' - see below ) . The regulation applies to all vehicles . The restriction applies from the centre of the carriageway to the back of the footway . Loading and unloading is allowed on double yellow lines at any time , unless there are additional markings indicating that there are ' loading restrictions ' . Two short yellow stripes at regular intervals across the kerb or edge of the carriageway indicate that loading and unloading is not permitted at any time ( these are not accompanied by sign plates ) . A single short yellow stripe at regular intervals across the kerb or edge of the carriageway indicates that loading and unloading is not permitted at the times shown on accompanying black and white sign plates . Loading / unloading time is restricted to either 20 or 40 minutes depending upon the location ( borough ) if loading is observed . One must not cause an obstruction to traffic or pedestrians . History ( edit ) Double yellow lines mean no waiting at any time , unless there are signs that specifically indicate seasonal restrictions . They were first introduced in the UK by section 51 of the Road Traffic Act 1960 ( repealed in 1972 and replaced by later legislation ) . Countries that were once part of the British Empire are likely to retain a modified version of the British laws including the basic principles regarding road safety . United states ( edit ) A double yellow center line in the United States indicates that passing is prohibited A yellow line ( solid or dashed ) indicates that crossing the line will place a driver in a lane where opposing traffic is coming at the driver . A double yellow line is a painted marking separating two lanes of a road . It consists of two parallel , solid yellow lines , and its presence usually indicates a no - passing restriction or no passing zone , where crossing the line is prohibited . Obvious exceptions to this no - passing restriction include emergency maneuvers or temporary traffic flow changes due to road work . Often the double yellow line has sections where one of the lines becomes dashed ( in which case it is no longer a `` double yellow '' ) , indicating to the drivers traveling on the side closest to the dashed line that they may pass when it is safe . Double - yellow lines may be used to separate lanes of traffic traveling in opposite directions where passing would be dangerous , or to restrict access to lanes traveling in the same direction , such as HOV and express lanes on a highway . Two municipalities in the state of Rhode Island , Bristol and Warwick , replace the double yellow line with red , white , and blue striping along certain routes . In some states , it is not against the law to overtake vehicles in the presence of solid yellow lines if it is safe to do so . For example , Vermont State Law also allows passing across the double yellow line when no traffic is on the opposing side , however , one must pass quickly and return to the proper side . Pennsylvania does permit passing on double yellow lines when not also posted with `` Do Not Pass '' signage . However , this is unusual as most states have a ban on crossing a double yellow line except when turning , when passing pedestrians or bicycles , or if an obstruction in the road makes it necessary . Overtaking another vehicle across a solid yellow line is usually considered a serious traffic violation in most states . Some parts of the US use a doubled set of double yellow lines to demarcate a painted median strip , which vehicles are not permitted to cross . This differs from a single set of double yellow lines , which may be crossed in certain circumstances .

The name Kenya Land and Freedom Army is sometimes heard in connection with Mau Mau . KLFA is not simply another name for Mau Mau : it was the name that Dedan Kimathi used for a coordinating body which he tried to set up for Mau Mau . It was also the name of another militant group that sprang up briefly in the spring of 1960 ; the group was broken up during a brief operation from 26 March to 30 April .

3218824662275196282 | Sword | Sword - wikipedia Sword Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Sword ( disambiguation ) . Swiss longsword , 15th or 16th century A sword is a bladed weapon intended for slashing or thrusting that is longer than a knife or dagger . The precise definition of the term varies with the historical epoch or the geographical region under consideration . A sword consists of a long blade attached to a hilt . The blade can be straight or curved . Thrusting swords have a pointed tip on the blade , and tend to be straighter ; slashing swords have sharpened cutting edge on one or both sides of the blade , and are more likely to be curved . Many swords are designed for both thrusting and slashing . Historically , the sword developed in the Bronze Age , evolving from the dagger ; the earliest specimens date to about 1600 BC . The later Iron Age sword remained fairly short and without a crossguard . The spatha , as it developed in the Late Roman army , became the predecessor of the European sword of the Middle Ages , at first adopted as the Migration period sword , and only in the High Middle Ages , developed into the classical arming sword with crossguard . The word sword continues the Old English , sweord . The use of a sword is known as swordsmanship or ( in an early modern or modern context ) as fencing . In the Early Modern period , western sword design diverged into roughly two forms , the thrusting swords and the sabers . The thrusting swords such as the rapier and eventually the smallsword were designed to impale their targets quickly and inflict deep stab wounds . Their long and straight yet light and well balanced design made them highly maneuverable and deadly in a duel but fairly ineffective when used in a slashing or chopping motion . A well aimed lunge and thrust could end a fight in seconds with just the sword 's point , leading to the development of a fighting style which closely resembles modern fencing . The saber ( sabre ) and similar blades such as the cutlass were built more heavily and were more typically used in warfare . Built for slashing and chopping at multiple enemies , often from horseback , the saber 's long curved blade and slightly forward weight balance gave it a deadly character all its own on the battlefield . Most sabers also had sharp points and double edged blades , making them capable of piercing soldier after soldier in a cavalry charge . Sabers continued to see battlefield use until the early 20th century . The US Navy kept tens of thousands of sturdy cutlasses in their armory well into World War II and many were issued to marines in the Pacific as jungle machetes . Non-European weapons called `` sword '' include single - edged weapons such as the Middle Eastern scimitar , the Chinese dao and the related Japanese katana . The Chinese jian is an example of a non-European double - edged sword , like the European models derived from the double - edged Iron Age sword .

They have been found in Arslantepe , Turkey , are made from arsenical bronze , and are about 60 cm ( 24 in ) long . Some of them are inlaid with silver . Bronze Age ( edit ) Main article : Bronze Age sword Apa - type swords , 17th - century BC . The swords found together with the Nebra skydisk , ca . 1600 BC . The sword developed from the knife or dagger . A knife is unlike a dagger in that a knife has only one cutting surface , while a dagger has two cutting surfaces . when the construction of longer blades became possible , from the late 3rd millennium BC in the Middle East , first in arsenic copper , then in tin - bronze . Blades longer than 60 cm ( 24 in ) were rare and not practical until the late Bronze Age because the tensile strength of bronze is relatively low , and consequently longer blades would bend easily . The development of the sword out of the dagger was gradual ; the first weapons that can be classified as swords without any ambiguity are those found in Minoan Crete , dated to about 1700 BC , reaching a total length of more than 100 cm . These are the `` type A '' swords of the Aegean Bronze Age . One of the most important , and longest - lasting , types swords of the European Bronze Age was the Naue II type ( named for Julius Naue who first described them ) , also known as Griffzungenschwert ( lit . `` grip - tongue sword '' ) . This type first appears in c. the 13th century BC in Northern Italy ( or a general Urnfield background ) , and survives well into the Iron Age , with a life - span of about seven centuries . During its lifetime , metallurgy changed from bronze to iron , but not its basic design . Naue II swords were exported from Europe to the Aegean , and as far afield as Ugarit , beginning about 1200 BC , i.e. just a few decades before the final collapse of the palace cultures in the Bronze Age collapse . Naue II swords could be as long as 85 cm , but most specimens fall into the 60 to 70 cm range . Robert Drews linked the Naue Type II Swords , which spread from Southern Europe into the Mediterranean , with the Bronze Age collapse . Naue II swords , along with Nordic full - hilted swords , were made with functionality and aesthetics in mind . The hilts of these swords were beautifully crafted and often contained false rivets in order to make the sword more visually appealing . Swords coming from northern Denmark and northern Germany usually contained three or more fake rivets in the hilt . Sword production in China is attested from the Bronze Age Shang Dynasty . The technology for bronze swords reached its high point during the Warring States period and Qin Dynasty . Amongst the Warring States period swords , some unique technologies were used , such as casting high tin edges over softer , lower tin cores , or the application of diamond shaped patterns on the blade ( see sword of Goujian ) . Also unique for Chinese bronzes is the consistent use of high tin bronze ( 17 -- 21 % tin ) which is very hard and breaks if stressed too far , whereas other cultures preferred lower tin bronze ( usually 10 % ) , which bends if stressed too far . Although iron swords were made alongside bronze , it was not until the early Han period that iron completely replaced bronze . In South Asia earliest available Bronze age swords of copper were discovered in the Harappan sites , in present - day Pakistan , and date back to 2300 BC . Swords have been recovered in archaeological findings throughout the Ganges - Jamuna Doab region of India , consisting of bronze but more commonly copper . Diverse specimens have been discovered in Fatehgarh , where there are several varieties of hilt . These swords have been variously dated to times between 1700 -- 1400 BC , but were probably used more notably in the opening centuries of the 1st millennium BC . Iron Age ( edit ) Main article : Iron Age sword Hallstatt swords Iron became increasingly common from the 13th century B.C. Before that the use of swords was less frequent . The iron was not quench - hardened although often containing sufficient carbon , but work - hardened like bronze by hammering . This made them comparable or only slightly better in terms of strength and hardness to bronze swords . They could still bend during use rather than spring back into shape . But the easier production , and the better availability of the raw material for the first time permitted the equipment of entire armies with metal weapons , though Bronze Age Egyptian armies were sometimes fully equipped with bronze weapons . Ancient swords are often found at burial sites . The sword was often placed on the right side of the corpse . However , there are exceptions to this . A lot of times the sword was kept over the corpse . In many late Iron Age graves , the sword and the scabbard were bent at 180 degrees . It was known as killing the sword . Thus they might have considered swords as the most potent and powerful object . Greco - Roman Antiquity ( edit ) Further information : Migration period sword By the time of Classical Antiquity and the Parthian and Sassanid Empires in Iran , iron swords were common . The Greek xiphos and the Roman gladius are typical examples of the type , measuring some 60 to 70 cm ( 24 to 28 in ) . The late Roman Empire introduced the longer spatha ( the term for its wielder , spatharius , became a court rank in Constantinople ) , and from this time , the term longsword is applied to swords comparatively long for their respective periods . Swords from the Parthian and Sassanian Empires were quite long , the blades on some late Sassanian swords being just under a metre long . Swords were also used to administer various physical punishments , such as non-surgical amputation or capital punishment by decapitation . The use of a sword , an honourable weapon , was regarded in Europe since Roman times as a privilege reserved for the nobility and the upper classes . The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea mentions swords of Indian iron and steel being exported from India to Greece . Sri Lankan and Indian Blades made of Damascus steel also found their way into Persia . Persian Antiquity ( edit ) In the first millennium BC the Persian armies used a sword that was originally of Scythian design called the akinaka ( acinaces ) . However , the great conquests of the Persians made the sword more famous as a Persian weapon , to the extent that the true nature of the weapon has been lost somewhat as the name Akinaka has been used to refer to whichever form of sword the Persian army favoured at the time . Darius I of Persia holding an acinaces in his lap It is widely believed that the original akinaka was a 14 to 18 inch double - edged sword . The design was not uniform and in fact identification is made more on the nature of the scabbard than the weapon itself ; the scabbard usually has a large , decorative mount allowing it to be suspended from a belt on the wearer 's right side . Because of this , it is assumed that the sword was intended to be drawn with the blade pointing downwards ready for surprise stabbing attacks . In the 12th century , the Seljuq dynasty had introduced the curved shamshir to Persia , and this was in extensive use by the early 16th century . Chinese Antiquity ( edit ) Chinese steel swords made their first appearance in the later part of the Western Zhou Dynasty , but were not widely used until the 3rd century BC Han Dynasty . The Chinese Dao ( 刀 pinyin dāo ) is single - edged , sometimes translated as sabre or broadsword , and the Jian ( 劍 or 剑 pinyin jiàn ) is double - edged . The zhanmadao ( literally `` horse chopping sword '' ) , an extremely long , anti-cavalry sword from the Song dynasty era . Middle Ages ( edit ) Europe ( edit ) Battle scene from the Morgan Bible of Louis IX showing 13th - century swords Further information : Carolingian sword , Romanesque sword , and Longsword Further information : Oakeshott typology During the Middle Ages sword technology improved , and the sword became a very advanced weapon . It was frequently used by men in battle , particularly during an attack . The spatha type remained popular throughout the Migration period and well into the Middle Ages . Vendel Age spathas were decorated with Germanic artwork ( not unlike the Germanic bracteates fashioned after Roman coins ) . The Viking Age saw again a more standardized production , but the basic design remained indebted to the spatha . Around the 10th century , the use of properly quenched hardened and tempered steel started to become much more common than in previous periods . The Frankish ' Ulfberht ' blades ( the name of the maker inlaid in the blade ) were of particularly consistent high quality . Charles the Bald tried to prohibit the export of these swords , as they were used by Vikings in raids against the Franks . Wootz steel which is also known as Damascus steel was a unique and highly prized steel developed on the Indian subcontinent as early as the 5th century BC . Its properties were unique due to the special smelting and reworking of the steel creating networks of iron carbides described as a globular cementite in a matrix of pearlite . The use of Damascus steel in swords became extremely popular in the 16th and 17th centuries . It was only from the 11th century that Norman swords began to develop the crossguard ( quillons ) . During the Crusades of the 12th to 13th century , this cruciform type of arming sword remained essentially stable , with variations mainly concerning the shape of the pommel . These swords were designed as cutting weapons , although effective points were becoming common to counter improvements in armour , especially the 14th - century change from mail to plate armour . It was during the 14th century , with the growing use of more advanced armour , that the hand and a half sword , also known as a `` bastard sword '' , came into being . It had an extended grip that meant it could be used with either one or two hands . Though these swords did not provide a full two - hand grip they allowed their wielders to hold a shield or parrying dagger in their off hand , or to use it as a two - handed sword for a more powerful blow . In the Middle Ages , the sword was often used as a symbol of the word of God . The names given to many swords in mythology , literature , and history reflected the high prestige of the weapon and the wealth of the owner . Greater Middle East ( edit ) The earliest evidence of curved swords , or scimitars ( and other regional variants as the Arabian saif , the Persian shamshir and the Turkic kilij ) is from the 9th century , when it was used among soldiers in the Khurasan region of Persia . Kilij . Shamshir . East Asia ( edit ) A Japanese wakizashi of the 17th century , with its koshirae and shirasaya . Chinese dao and scabbard of the 17th -- 18th century As steel technology improved , single - edged weapons became popular throughout Asia . Derived from the Chinese Jian or dao , the Korean hwandudaedo are known from the early medieval Three Kingdoms . Production of the Japanese tachi , a precursor to the katana , is recorded from ca . 900 AD ( see Japanese sword ) . Japan was famous for the swords it forged in the early 13th century for the class of warrior - nobility known as the Samurai . The types of swords used by the Samurai included the ōdachi ( extra long field sword ) , tachi ( long cavalry sword ) , katana ( long sword ) , and wakizashi ( shorter companion sword for katana ) . Japanese swords that pre-date the rise of the samurai caste include the tsurugi ( straight double - edged blade ) and chokutō ( straight one - edged blade ) . Japanese swordmaking reached the height of its development in the 15th and 16th centuries , when samurai increasingly found a need for a sword to use in closer quarters , leading to the creation of the modern katana . Western historians have said that Japanese katana were among the finest cutting weapons in world military history . Indian subcontinent ( edit ) Khanda is a double - edge straight sword . It is often featured in religious iconography , theatre and art depicting the ancient history of India . Some communities venerate the weapon as a symbol of Shiva . It is a common weapon in the martial arts in the Indian subcontinent . Khanda often appears in Hindu , Buddhist and Sikh scriptures and art . In Sri Lanka , a unique wind furnace was used to produce the high quality steel . This gave the blade a very hard cutting edge and beautiful patterns . For these reasons it became a very popular trading material . A Khanda sword from India . The Urumi : ( Tamil : சுருள் பட்டாக்கத்தி surul pattai , lit . curling blade ; Sinhalese : එතුණු කඩුව ethunu kaduwa ; Hindi : aara ) is a longsword with a flexible whip - like blade from India . Originating in the country 's southern states , it is thought to have existed as far back as the Maurya dynasty ( 322 -- 185 BC ) . The urumi is considered one of the most difficult weapons to master due to the risk of injuring oneself . It is treated as a steel whip , and therefore requires prior knowledge of that weapon . The Firangi ( / fəˈrɪŋɡiː / ; derived from the Arabic term for a Western European a `` Frank '' ) was a sword type which used blades manufactured in Western Europe and imported by the Portuguese , or made locally in imitation of European blades . Because of its length the firangi is usually regarded as primarily a cavalry weapon . The sword has been especially associated with the Marathas , who were famed for their cavalry . However , the firangi was also widely used by Sikhs and Rajputs . The Talwar : ( Hindi : तलवार ) is a type of curved sword from India and other countries of the Indian subcontinent , it was adopted by communities such as Rajputs , Sikhs and Marathas , who favored the sword as their main weapon . It became more widespread in the medieval era . Talwar Pata Firangi Southeast Asia ( edit ) In Indonesia , the images of Indian style swords can be found in Hindu gods statues from ancient Java circa 8th to 10th century . However the native types of blade known as kris , parang , klewang and golok were more popular as weapons . These daggers are shorter than sword but longer than common dagger . Kampilan from the Philippines . In The Philippines , traditional large swords known as the Kampilan and the Panabas were used in combat by the natives . A notable wielder of the kampilan was Lapu - Lapu , the king of Mactan and his warriors who defeated the Spaniards and killed Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan at the Battle of Mactan on 27 April 1521 . Traditional swords in the Philippines were immediately banned , but the training in swordsmanship was later hidden from the occupying Spaniards by practices in dances . But because of the banning , Filipinos were forced to use swords that were disguised as farm tools . Bolos and baliswords were used during the revolutions against the colonialists not only because ammunition for guns was scarce , but also for concealability while walking in crowded streets and homes . Bolos were also used by young boys who joined their parents in the revolution and by young girls and their mothers in defending the town while the men were on the battlefields . During the Philippine -- American War in events such as the Balangiga Massacre , most of an American company was hacked to death or seriously injured by bolo - wielding guerillas in Balangiga , Samar . When the Japanese took control of the country , several American special operations groups stationed in the Philippines were introduced to the Filipino Martial Arts and swordsmanship , leading to this style reaching America despite the fact that natives were reluctant to allow outsiders in on their fighting secrets . Late Middle Ages and Renaissance ( edit ) Main articles : Longsword and Zweihänder From around 1300 to 1500 , in concert with improved armour , innovative sword designs evolved more and more rapidly . The main transition was the lengthening of the grip , allowing two - handed use , and a longer blade . By 1400 , this type of sword , at the time called langes Schwert ( longsword ) or spadone , was common , and a number of 15th - and 16th - century Fechtbücher offering instructions on their use survive . Another variant was the specialized armour - piercing swords of the estoc type . The longsword became popular due to its extreme reach and its cutting and thrusting abilities . 1548 depiction of a Zweihänder used against pikes in the Battle of Kappel Ceremonial sword of the Rector of the Republic of Dubrovnik ( 15th century ) The estoc became popular because of its ability to thrust into the gaps between plates of armour . The grip was sometimes wrapped in wire or coarse animal hide to provide a better grip and to make it harder to knock a sword out of the user 's hand . A number of manuscripts covering longsword combat and techniques dating from the 13th -- 16th centuries exist in German , Italian , and English , providing extensive information on longsword combatives as used throughout this period . Many of these are now readily available online . In the 16th century , the large zweihänder was used by the elite German and Swiss mercenaries known as doppelsöldners . Zweihänder , literally translated , means two - hander . The zweihänder possesses a long blade , as well as a huge guard for protection . It is estimated that some zweihänder swords were over 6 feet ( 1.8 m ) long , with the one ascribed to Frisian warrior Pier Gerlofs Donia being 7 feet ( 2.13 m ) long . The gigantic blade length was perfectly designed for manipulating and pushing away enemy pole - arms , which were major weapons around this time , in both Germany and Eastern Europe . Doppelsöldners also used katzbalgers , which means ' cat - gutter ' . The katzbalger 's S - shaped guard and 2 - foot - long ( 0.61 m ) blade made it perfect for bringing in when the fighting became too close to use a zweihänder . Civilian use of swords became increasingly common during the late Renaissance , with duels being a preferred way to honourably settle disputes . The practice of civilian duelling , with specifically designed civilian swords such as the Italian Cinquedea and Swiss Baselard , became so popular that according to one scholar : `` In France during the reign of Henry IV ( 1589 -- 1610 ) , more than 4,000 French aristocrats were killed in duels in an eighteen - year period ... During the reign of Louis XIII ( 1610 -- 1643 ) ... in a twenty - year period 8,000 pardons were issued for murders associated with duels . '' The side - sword was a type of war sword used by infantry during the Renaissance of Europe . This sword was a direct descendant of the arming sword . Quite popular between the 16th and 17th centuries , they were ideal for handling the mix of armoured and unarmoured opponents of that time . A new technique of placing one 's finger on the ricasso to improve the grip ( a practice that would continue in the rapier ) led to the production of hilts with a guard for the finger . This sword design eventually led to the development of the civilian rapier , but it was not replaced by it , and the side - sword continued to be used during the rapier 's lifetime . As it could be used for both cutting and thrusting , the term cut and thrust sword is sometimes used interchangeably with side - sword . Also of note is that as rapiers became more popular , attempts were made to hybridize the blade , sacrificing the effectiveness found in each unique weapon design . These are still considered side - swords and are sometimes labeled sword rapier or cutting rapier by modern collectors . Also of note , side - swords used in conjunction with bucklers became so popular that it caused the term swashbuckler to be coined . This word stems from the new fighting style of the side - sword and buckler which was filled with much `` swashing and making a noise on the buckler '' . Within the Ottoman Empire , the use of a curved sabre called the Yatagan started in the mid-16th century . It would become the weapon of choice for many in Turkey and the Balkans . The sword in this time period was the most personal weapon , the most prestigious , and the most versatile for close combat , but it came to decline in military use as technology , such as the crossbow and firearms changed warfare . However , it maintained a key role in civilian self - defence . Early modern period ( edit ) Military sword ( edit ) Further information : Basket - hilted sword , Backsword , and Sabre A single - edged type of sidearm used by the Hussites was popularized in 16th - century Germany under its Czech name Dusack , also known as Säbel auf Teutsch gefasst ( `` sabre fitted in the German manner '' ) . A closely related weapon is the schnepf or Swiss sabre used in Early Modern Switzerland . The cut - and - thrust mortuary sword was used after 1625 by cavalry during the English Civil War . This ( usually ) two - edged sword sported a half - basket hilt with a straight blade some 90 -- 105 cm long . Later in the 17th century , the swords used by cavalry became predominantly single - edged . The so - called walloon sword ( épée wallone ) was common in the Thirty Years ' War and Baroque era . Its hilt was ambidextrous with shell - guards and knuckle - bow that inspired 18th century continental hunting hangers . Following their campaign in the Netherlands in 1672 , the French began producing this weapon as their first regulation sword . Weapons of this design were also issued to the Swedish army from the time of Gustavus Adolphus until as late as the 1850s . Duelling sword ( edit ) Further information : Rapier and Smallsword The rapier is believed to have evolved either from the Spanish espada ropera or from the swords of the Italian nobility somewhere in the later part of the 16th century . The rapier differed from most earlier swords in that it was not a military weapon but a primarily civilian sword . Both the rapier and the Italian schiavona developed the crossguard into a basket - shaped guard for hand protection . During the 17th and 18th centuries , the shorter smallsword became an essential fashion accessory in European countries and the New World , though in some places such as the Scottish Highlands large swords as the basket - hilted broadsword were preferred , and most wealthy men and military officers carried one slung from a belt . Both the smallsword and the rapier remained popular dueling swords well into the 18th century . As the wearing of swords fell out of fashion , canes took their place in a gentleman 's wardrobe . This developed to the gentlemen in the Victorian era to use the umbrella . Some examples of canes -- those known as sword canes or swordsticks -- incorporate a concealed blade . The French martial art la canne developed to fight with canes and swordsticks and has now evolved into a sport . The English martial art singlestick is very similar . With the rise of the pistol duel , the duelling sword fell out of fashion long before the practice of duelling itself . By about 1770 , English duelists enthusiastically adopted the pistol , and sword duels dwindled . However , the custom of duelling with epées persisted well into the 20th century in France . Such modern duels were not fought to the death , the duellists ' aim was instead merely to draw blood from the opponent 's sword arm . Modern history ( edit ) Military sidearm ( edit ) Towards the end of its useful life , the sword served more as a weapon of self - defence than for use on the battlefield , and the military importance of swords steadily decreased during the Modern Age . Even as a personal sidearm , the sword began to lose its preeminence in the early 19th century , reflecting the development of reliable handguns . However , swords were still used in combat , especially in Colonial Wars between native populations and Colonial Empires . For example , during the Aceh War the Acehnese Klewangs , a sword similar to the machete , proved very effective in close quarters combat with Dutch troops , leading the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army to adopt a heavy cutlass , also called klewang ( very similar in appearance to the US Navy Model 1917 Cutlass ) to counter it . Mobile troops armed with carbines and klewangs succeeded in suppressing Aceh resistance where traditional infantry with rifle and bayonet had failed . From that time on until the 1950s the Royal Dutch East Indies Army , Royal Dutch Army , Royal Dutch Navy and Dutch police used these cutlasses called Klewang . British Major Jack Churchill ( far right ) leads Commandos during a training exercise , sword in hand , in World War II . Swords continued in general peacetime use by cavalry of most armies during the years prior to World War I . For example , the British Army formally adopted a completely new design of cavalry sword in 1908 , almost the last change in British Army weapons before the outbreak of the war . At the outbreak of World War I infantry officers in all combatant armies still carried swords as part of their field equipment . On mobilization in August 1914 all serving British Army officers were required to have their swords sharpened as the only peacetime use of the weapon had been for saluting on parade . The high visibility and limited practical use of the sword however led to it being abandoned within weeks , although most cavalry continued to carry sabres throughout the War . It was not until the late 1920s and early 1930s that this historic weapon was finally discarded for all but ceremonial purposes by most remaining horse mounted regiments of Europe and the Americas . In China troops used the long anti-cavalry Miao dao well into the Second Sino - Japanese War . The last units of British heavy cavalry switched to using armoured vehicles as late as 1938 . Swords and other dedicated melee weapons were used occasionally by many countries during World War II , but typically as a secondary weapon as they were outclassed by coexisting firearms . Ceremonial use ( edit ) Graphical documentation of the Szczerbiec , a sword that was traditionally used in the coronation ceremony of Polish kings , 12th - 13th century . Further information : Sword of State Swords are commonly worn as a ceremonial item by officers in many military and naval services throughout the world . Occasions to wear swords include any event in dress uniforms where the rank - and - file carry arms : parades , reviews , courts - martial , tattoos , and changes of command . They are also commonly worn for officers ' weddings , and when wearing dress uniforms to church -- although they are rarely actually worn in the church itself . In the British forces they are also worn for any appearance at Court . In the United States , every Naval officer at or above the rank of Lieutenant Commander is required to own a sword , which can be prescribed for any formal outdoor ceremonial occasion ; they are normally worn for changes of command and parades . For some Navy parades , cutlasses are issued to Petty Officers and Chief Petty Officers . In the U.S. Marine Corps every officer must own a sword , which is prescribed for formal parades and other ceremonies where dress uniforms are worn and the rank - and - file are under arms . On these occasions depending on their billet , Marine Staff Non-Commissioned Officers ( E-6 and above ) may also be required to carry swords , which have hilts of a pattern similar to U.S. Naval officers ' swords but are actually sabres . The USMC Model 1859 NCO Sword is the longest continuously - issued edged weapon in the U.S. inventory The Marine officer swords are of the Mameluke pattern which was adopted in 1825 in recognition of the Marines ' key role in the capture of the Tripolitan city of Derna during the First Barbary War . Taken out of issue for approximately 20 years from 1855 until 1875 , it was restored to service in the year of the Corps ' centennial and has remained in issue since . Sword replicas ( edit ) Main article : Sword replica The production of replicas of historical swords originates with 19th - century historicism . Contemporary replicas can range from cheap factory produced look - alikes to exact recreations of individual artifacts , including an approximation of the historical production methods . Some kinds of swords are still commonly used today as weapons , often as a side arm for military infantry . The Japanese katana , wakizashi and tanto are carried by some infantry and officers in Japan and other parts of Asia and the kukri is the official melee weapon for Nepal . Other swords in use today are the sabre , the scimitar , the shortsword and the machete . In the case of a rat - tail tang , the maker welds a thin rod to the end of the blade at the crossguard ; this rod goes through the grip . In traditional construction , Swordsmiths peened such tangs over the end of the pommel , or occasionally welded the hilt furniture to the tang and threaded the end for screwing on a pommel . This style is often referred to as a `` narrow '' or `` hidden '' tang . Modern , less traditional , replicas often feature a threaded pommel or a pommel nut which holds the hilt together and allows dismantling . In a `` full '' tang ( most commonly used in knives and machetes ) , the tang has about the same width as the blade , and is generally the same shape as the grip . In European or Asian swords sold today , many advertised `` full '' tangs may actually involve a forged rat - tail tang . Morphology ( edit ) Further information : Classification of swords The sword consists of the blade and the hilt . The term scabbard applies to the cover for the sword blade when not in use . Blade ( edit ) Main articles : Sword blade and Oakeshott typology There is considerable variation in the detailed design of sword blades . The diagram opposite shows a typical Medieval European sword . Early iron blades have rounded points due to the limited metallurgy of the time . These were still effective for thrusting against lightly armoured opponents . As armour advanced , blades were made narrower , stiffer and sharply pointed to defeat the armour by thrusting . Dedicated cutting blades are wide and thin , and often have grooves known as fullers which lighten the blade at the cost of some of the blade 's stiffness . The edges of a cutting sword are almost parallel . Blades oriented for the thrust have thicker blades , sometimes with a distinct midrib for increased stiffness , with a strong taper and an acute point . The geometry of a cutting sword blade allows for acute edge angles . It should be noted , however , that an edge with an acuter angle is more inclined to degrade quickly in combat situations than an edge with a more obtuse angle . Also , an acute edge angle is not the primary factor of a blade 's sharpness . The part of the blade between the center of percussion ( CoP ) and the point is called the foible ( weak ) of the blade , and that between the center of balance ( CoB ) and the hilt is the forte ( strong ) . The section in between the CoP and the CoB is the middle . The ricasso or shoulder identifies a short section of blade immediately below the guard that is left completely unsharpened . Many swords have no ricasso . On some large weapons , such as the German Zweihänder , a metal cover surrounded the ricasso , and a swordsman might grip it in one hand to wield the weapon more easily in close - quarter combat . The ricasso normally bears the maker 's mark . The tang is the extension of the blade to which the hilt is fitted . On Japanese blades , the maker 's mark appears on the tang under the grip . Hilt ( edit ) Hilt of a rapier . In this case , with a swept hilt Sword of Caliph Umar , with later hilt . The hilt is the collective term for the parts allowing for the handling and control of the blade ; these consist of the grip , the pommel , and a simple or elaborate guard , which in post-Viking Age swords could consist of only a crossguard ( called a cruciform hilt or quillons ) . The pommel was originally designed as a stop to prevent the sword slipping from the hand . From around the 11th century onward it became a counterbalance to the blade , allowing a more fluid style of fighting . It can also be used as a blunt instrument at close range , and its weight affects the centre of percussion . In later times a sword knot or tassel was sometimes added . By the 17th century , with the growing use of firearms and the accompanying decline in the use of armour , many rapiers and dueling swords had developed elaborate basket hilts , which protect the palm of the wielder and rendered the gauntlet obsolete . In late medieval and Renaissance era European swords , a flap of leather called the chappe or rain guard was attached to a sword 's crossguard at the base of the hilt to protect the mouth of the scabbard and prevent water from entering . Sword scabbards and suspension ( edit ) Main article : Scabbard Common accessories to the sword include the scabbard , as well as the sword belt . Scabbard : The scabbard , also known as the sheath , is a protective cover often provided for the sword blade . Over the millennia , scabbards have been made of many materials , including leather , wood , and metals such as brass or steel . The metal fitting where the blade enters the leather or metal scabbard is called the throat , which is often part of a larger scabbard mount , or locket , that bears a carrying ring or stud to facilitate wearing the sword . The blade 's point in leather scabbards is usually protected by a metal tip , or chape , which on both leather and metal scabbards is often given further protection from wear by an extension called a drag , or shoe . Sword belt : A sword belt is a belt with an attachment for the sword 's scabbard , used to carry it when not in use . It is usually fixed to the scabbard of the sword , providing a fast means of drawing the sword in battle . Examples of sword belts include the Balteus used by the Roman legionary . Typology ( edit ) Main articles : Types of swords and Classification of swords Further information : Sword replica Sword typology is based on morphological criteria on one hand ( blade shape ( cross-section , taper , and length ) , shape and size of the hilt and pommel ) and age and place of origin on the other ( Bronze Age , Iron Age , European ( medieval , early modern , modern ) , Asian ) . The relatively comprehensive Oakeshott typology was created by historian and illustrator Ewart Oakeshott as a way to define and catalogue European swords of the medieval period based on physical form , including blade shape and hilt configuration . The typology also focuses on the smaller , and in some cases contemporary , single - handed swords such as the arming sword . Single and double - edged ( edit ) As noted above , the terms longsword , broad sword , great sword , and Gaelic claymore are used relative to the era under consideration , and each term designates a particular type of sword . Jian ( edit ) In most Asian countries , a sword ( jian 劍 , geom ( 검 ) , ken / tsurugi ( 剣 ) , pedang ) is a double - edged straight - bladed weapon , while a knife or saber ( dāo 刀 , do ( 도 ) , to / katana ( 刀 ) , pisau , golok ) refers to a single - edged object . Kirpan ( edit ) In Sikh history , the sword is held in very high esteem . A single - edged sword is called a kirpan , and its double - edged counterpart a khanda or tega . Churika ( edit ) The South Indian churika is a handheld double - edged sword traditionally used in the Malabar region of Kerala . It is also worshipped as the weapon of Vettakkorumakan , the hunter god in Hinduism . Backsword and falchion ( edit ) European terminology does give generic names for single - edged and double - edged blades but refers to specific types with the term ' sword ' covering them all . For example , the backsword may be so called because it is single - edged but the falchion which is also single - edged is given its own specific name . Single vs two - handed use ( edit ) Two - handed sword , Italy , circa 1623 . A replica of a two - handed sword Two - handed ( edit ) See also : Two - handed sword Two - handed sword may be used to refer to any sword that usually requires two hands to wield . However , in its proper sense it should be used only to refer to the very large swords of the 16th century . Throughout history two - handed swords have generally been less common than their one - handed counterparts , one exception being their common use in Japan . Hand and a half sword ( edit ) A Hand and a half sword , colloquially known as a `` bastard sword '' , was a sword with an extended grip and sometimes pommel so that it could be used with either one or two hands . Although these swords may not provide a full two - hand grip , they allowed its wielders to hold a shield or parrying dagger in their off hand , or to use it as a two - handed sword for a more powerful blow . These should not be confused with a longsword , two - handed sword , or Zweihänder , which were always intended to be used with two hands . Fictional types ( edit ) In fantasy , magic swords often appear , based on their use in myth and legend . The science fiction counterpart to these is known as an energy sword ( sometimes also referred to as a `` beam sword '' or `` laser sword '' ) , a sword whose blade consists of , or is augmented by , concentrated energy . A well known example of this type of sword is the lightsaber , primarily shown in the Star Wars franchise .

The article also includes a brief description of pattern - welding as encountered in the Malay keris . Damascus steel is also known as watered steel . Citations Jump up ^ cognate to Old High German swert , Old Norse sverð , from a Proto - Indo - European root * swer - `` to wound , to cut '' . Before about 1500 , the spelling swerd ( e ) was much more common than sword ( e ) . The irregular loss of / w / in English pronunciation also dates to about 1500 , and is found in a small number of other words , such as answer ( c.f. swear ) , conquer ( c.f. query ) .

Latin had ensis , gladius and spatha ; as the term for the sword used by the Late Roman army , spatha became the source of the words for `` sword '' in Romance languages , such as Italian spada , Iberian espada and French epée . Both gladius and spatha are loanwords in Latin ; ensis was the generic term for `` sword '' in Classical Latin , and was again widely used in Renaissance Latin , while Middle Latin mostly used gladius as the generic term .

"A sword is a bladed weapon intended for slashing or thrusting that is longer than a knife or dagger. The precise definition of the term varies with the historical epoch or the geographical region under consideration. A sword consists of a long blade attached to a hilt. The blade can be straight or curved. Thrusting swords have a pointed tip on the blade, and tend to be straighter; slashing swords have sharpened cutting edge on one or both sides of the blade, and are more likely to be curved. Many swords are designed for both thrusting and slashing."

The Bills won two consecutive American Football League titles in 1964 and 1965 , but the club has yet to win a league championship since . Once the AFL -- NFL merger took effect , the Bills became the second NFL team to represent the city ; they followed the Buffalo All - Americans , a charter member of the league . Buffalo had been left out of the league since the All - Americans ( by that point renamed the Bisons ) folded in 1929 ; the Bills were no less than the third professional non-NFL team to compete in the city before the merger , following the Indians / Tigers of the early 1940s and an earlier team named the Bills , originally the Bisons , in the late 1940s in the All - America Football Conference ( AAFC ) . In 1947 a contest was held to rename the Bisons , which was owned by James Breuil of the Frontier Oil Company . The winning entry suggested Bills , reflecting on the famous western frontiersman , Buffalo Bill Cody . Carrying the `` frontier '' theme further , the winning contestant offered the team was being supported by Frontier Oil and was `` opening a new frontier in sports in Western New York . '' When Buffalo joined the new American Football League in 1960 , the name of the city 's earlier pro football entry was adopted . After being pushed to the brink of failure in the mid-1980s , the collapse of the United States Football League and a series of high draft picks allowed the Bills to rebuild into a perennial contender in the late 1980s through the mid-1990s , a period in which the team won four consecutive AFC Championships ; the team nevertheless lost all four subsequent Super Bowls , records in both categories that still stand . The rise of the division rival New England Patriots under Tom Brady , along with numerous failed attempts at rebuilding in the 2000s and 2010s , have prevented the Bills from reaching the playoffs since 1999 , a 17 - year drought that is the longest active playoff drought in all major professional sports . On October 8 , 2014 , Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula received unanimous approval to acquire the Bills during the NFL owners ' meetings , becoming the second ownership group of the team after team founder Ralph Wilson . Logos and uniforms Bills logo , 1962 -- 1973 The Bills ' uniforms in its first two seasons were based on those of the Detroit Lions at the time . The team 's original colors were Honolulu blue , silver and white , and the helmets were silver with no striping . There was no logo on the helmet , which displayed the players ' numbers on each side . In 1962 , the standing red bison was designated as the logo and took its place on a white helmet . In 1962 , the team 's colors also changed to red , white , and blue . The team switched to blue jerseys with red and white `` LSU '' stripes on the shoulders . the helmets were white with a red center stripe . The jerseys again saw a change in 1964 when the shoulder stripes were replaced by a distinctive stripe pattern on the sleeves consisting of four stripes , two thicker inner stripes and two thinner outer stripes all bordered by red piping . By 1965 , red and blue center stripes were put on the helmets . The Bills introduced blue pants worn with the white jerseys in 1973 , the last year of the standing buffalo helmet . The blue pants remained through 1985 . The face mask on the helmet was blue from 1974 through 1986 before changing to white . The standing bison logo was replaced by a blue charging one with a red slanting stripe streaming from its horn . The newer emblem , which is still the primary one used by the franchise , was designed by aerospace designer Stevens Wright in 1974 . In 1984 , the helmet 's background color was changed from white to red , primarily to help Bills quarterback Joe Ferguson distinguish them more readily from three of their division rivals at that time , the Baltimore Colts , the Miami Dolphins , and the New England Patriots , who all also wore white helmets at that point . Ferguson said `` Everyone we played had white helmets at that time . Our new head coach Kay Stephenson just wanted to get more of a contrast on the field that may help spot a receiver down the field . '' ( The Patriots now use a silver helmet , the Colts have since been realigned to the AFC South , and the New York Jets , who switched to green helmets after the 1977 season , have since switched back to white helmets . ) In 2002 , under the direction of general manager Tom Donahoe , the Bills ' uniforms went through radical changes . A darker shade of blue was introduced as the main jersey color , and nickel gray was introduced as an accent color . Both the blue and white jerseys featured red side panels . The white jerseys included a dark blue shoulder yoke and royal blue numbers . The helmet remained primarily red with one navy blue , two nickel , two royal blue , two white stripes , and white face mask . A new logo , a stylized `` B '' consisting of two bullets and a more detailed buffalo head on top , was proposed and had been released ( it can be seen on a few baseball caps that were released for sale ) , but fan backlash led to the team retaining the running bison logo . The helmet logo adopted in 1974 -- a charging royal blue bison , with a red streak , white horn and eyeball -- remained unchanged . In 2005 , the Bills revived the standing bison helmet and uniform of the mid-1960s as a throwback uniform . The Bills usually wore the all - blue combination at home and the all - white combination on the road when not wearing the throwback uniforms . They stopped wearing blue - on - white after 2006 , while the white - on - blue was not worn after 2007 . For the 2011 season , the Bills unveiled a new uniform design , an updated rendition of the 1975 -- 83 design . This change includes a return to the white helmets with `` charging buffalo '' logo , and a return to royal blue instead of navy . Buffalo sporadically wore white at home in the 1980s , but stopped doing so before their Super Bowl years . On November 6 , 2011 , against the New York Jets , the Bills wore white at home for the first time since 1986 . Since 2011 , the Bills have worn white for a home game either with their primary uniform or a throwback set . The Bills ' uniform received minor alterations as part of the league 's new uniform contract with Nike . The new Nike uniform was unveiled on April 3 , 2012 . On November 12 , 2015 , the Bills and the New York Jets became the first two teams to participate in the NFL 's Color Rush uniform initiative , with Buffalo wearing an all - red combination for the first time in team history . A notable use of the Bills ' uniforms outside of football will be in the 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships , when the United States men 's national junior ice hockey team will use Bills uniforms in their outdoor game against Team Canada on December 29 , 2017 . Rivalries The Bills have rivalries with their three AFC East opponents , and also have had occasional or historical rivalries with other teams such as the Baltimore / Indianapolis Colts ( a former divisional rival ) , Kansas City Chiefs , Houston Oilers / Tennessee Titans , Cleveland Browns , and Dallas Cowboys . They also play an annual preseason game against the Detroit Lions . Divisional rivalries Miami Dolphins Main article : Bills -- Dolphins rivalry This is often considered Buffalo 's most famous rivalry . Though the Bills and Dolphins both originated in the American Football League , the Dolphins did not start playing until 1966 as an expansion team while the Bills were one of the original eight teams . The rivalry first gained prominence when the Dolphins won every match - up against the Bills in the 1970s for an NFL - record 20 straight wins against a single opponent . Fortunes changed in the following decades with the rise of Jim Kelly as Buffalo 's franchise quarterback , and though Kelly and Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino shared a competitive rivalry in the 1980s and 1990s , the Bills became dominant in the 1990s . Things have since cooled down after the retirements of Kelly and Marino and the rise of the Belichick / Brady - led Patriots , but Miami remains a fierce rival of the Bills , coming in second place in a recent poll of Buffalo 's primary rival . Miami leads the overall series 60 - 45 - 1 , but Buffalo has the advantage in the playoffs at 3 - 1 . New England Patriots Main article : Bills -- Patriots rivalry The rivalry with the New England Patriots first started when both teams were original franchises in the American Football League prior to the NFL - AFL merger . After the rise of head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady in New England , the Patriots have dominated the AFC East , including the Bills . The Bills - Patriots rivalry in particular has become lopsided as the Patriots are 29 - 5 against the Bills since Belichick became head coach . This has led many fans and players in the 2000s and beyond to replace the Dolphins with the Patriots as Buffalo 's most hated rival . Overall , the Patriots lead the series 70 - 43 - 1 as of 2016 . The rivalry is also notable as numerous players , including Drew Bledsoe , Doug Flutie , Lawyer Milloy , Brandon Spikes , Scott Chandler and Stephon Gilmore have played for both teams at some point in their careers . New York Jets Main article : Bills -- Jets rivalry The Bills and Jets both represent the state of New York , though the Jets actually play their games in East Rutherford , New Jersey . The series started as the Bills and Jets were both original teams in the AFL . Though the rivalry represents the differences between New York City and Upstate New York , it is not as intense as the Bills ' rivalries with the Dolphins and Patriots , and the teams ' fanbases either have begrudging respect or low - key annoyance for each other when not playing one another . Often times the rivalry has become characterized by ugly games and shared mediocrity , but it briefly heated up when former Jets head coach Rex Ryan became head coach of the Bills for two seasons . Buffalo leads the series 61 - 54 as of 2017 , including a playoff win in 1981 . Other rivalries Kansas City Chiefs The Bills and Chiefs were also original teams in the AFL and have had a long history against each other , despite never being in the same division . This rivalry heated up recently as the Bills and Chiefs met in consecutive years from 2008 to 2015 , and will meet again in 2017 . The teams have played three playoff games , including the AFL Championship game that determined the AFL 's ( later AFC ) representative in the first Super Bowl , with Kansas City winning and going on to face the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl . Buffalo currently leads the series 25 - 21 - 1 . Cleveland Browns Though the two teams are in different divisions and did not start playing each other until after 1972 , match - ups between the Bills and the Cleveland Browns occasionally get heated up due to the proximity and similarity between the cities of Buffalo and Cleveland . Like the Bills - Jets rivalry , the Bills and Browns often share bad luck and have had their share of ugly games . However , there have been other occasions when both teams have been competitive such as in the 1980s and most recently in 2007 and 2014 . The rivalry also gained heat when former Bills safety Donte Whitner was with the Browns . The Browns currently lead the series 12 - 9 , including a playoff win in 1990 , though the Bills have outscored the Browns in the series . The Browns shared a rivalry with the Bills ' predecessors in the All - America Football Conference , playing them twice in the AAFC playoffs before becoming one of three AAFC teams to join the NFL . The Bills were not selected to join the NFL and folded with the rest of the AAFC , leaving Buffalo without professional football until the current Bills were formed in 1959 . Dallas Cowboys The Bills briefly developed a rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys as the two teams met in consecutive years in the Super Bowl in the 1990s .

Despite the fact that the Bills have only retired two jersey numbers in franchise history , the team has other numbers no longer issued to any player or in reduced circulation . Unofficially retired : 32 O.J. Simpson , RB , 1969 -- 77 34 Thurman Thomas , RB , 1988 -- 99 ; previously worn by Cookie Gilchrist , RB , 1962 -- 64 Reduced circulation : 44 Elbert Dubenion , WR , 1960 -- 68 66 Billy Shaw , OG , 1961 -- 69 83 Andre Reed , WR , 1985 -- 99 ( Lee Evans III wore # 83 by special permission ) Since the earliest days of the team , the number 31 was not supposed to be issued to any other player . The Bills had stationery and various other team merchandise showing a running player wearing that number , and it was not supposed to represent any specific person , but the ' spirit of the team . ' In the first three decades of the team 's existence , the number 31 was only seen once : in 1969 , when reserve running back Preston Ridlehuber damaged his number 36 jersey during a game , equipment manager Tony Marchitte gave him the number 31 jersey to wear while repairing the number 36 . The number 31 was not issued again until 1990 when first round draft choice James ( J.D. ) Williams wore it for his first two seasons . Number 15 was historically only issued sparingly after the retirement of Jack Kemp , but is apparently now in general circulation ; Brandon Tate currently wears the number . Number 1 has also only rarely been used , for reasons never explained . Kicker Mike Hollis , who played one season for the Bills in 2002 , was the most recent to wear the number . Ralph C.

John Murphy is the team 's current play - by - play announcer ; he was a color commentator alongside , and eventually succeeded , longtime voice Van Miller after Miller 's retirement at the end of the 2003 NFL season . Mark Kelso serves as the color analyst . The Bills radio network has approximately seventeen affiliates in upstate New York and one affiliate , CJCL 590AM ( The Fan ) in Toronto . As of early 2012 , it is composed mostly of WGR , Entercom 's sister stations WCMF ( 96.5 FM ) and WROC - AM 950 in Rochester , and a fleet of independent AM and FM stations across upstate New York from Jamestown east to Albany . Previous flagship Citadel Broadcasting was purchased by Cumulus Media , who in turn ceased carrying Bills games at the end of the 2011 season , leaving the network without affiliates in Syracuse , Binghamton , and Erie . ( The Syracuse affiliations were later picked up by Galaxy Communications . ) Buffalo is one of ten teams contracted with Compass Media Networks to syndicate selected games nationwide . During the preseason , most games are televised on Buffalo 's ABC affiliate , WKBW - TV channel 7 , with several other affiliates in western New York . These games are simulcast on sister stations WTVH in Syracuse , WICU in Erie , WHAM - TV in Rochester , and for a period , CITY - TV in Toronto . CBS analyst and former Bills special teams player Steve Tasker does color commentary on these games ; the play - by - play position is rotated between his CBS partner Andrew Catalon and Rob Stone . WHAM - TV sports anchor Mike Catalana is the sideline reporter . Since 2008 , preseason games have been broadcast in high definition . Beginning in the 2016 season , as per a new rights deal which covers rights to the team as well as its sister NHL franchise , the Buffalo Sabres , most team - related programming , including studio programming and the coach 's show , was re-located to MSG Western New York -- a joint venture of MSG and the team ownership . Preseason games will continue to air in simulcast on WKBW . In the event regular season games are broadcast by ESPN , WKBW - TV will also hold the broadcast rights to that contest , with the station having won back the rights to cable games after WBBZ - TV held the rights for 2012 and 2013 .

The Bills currently do not have cheerleaders . The Bills employed the Buffalo Jills , an independent organization , from 1967 to 2013 ; the Jills suspended operations prior to the 2014 season due to legal actions . The Bills and Jills are currently involved in a legal battle , in which the Jills allege they were employees , not independent contractors , and are seeking back pay . The Bills are one of six teams in the NFL to designate an official marching band or drumline ( the others being the Baltimore Ravens , Washington Redskins , New York Jets , Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks ) . Since the last game of the 2013 season , this position has been served by the Stampede Drumline , known outside of Buffalo as Downbeat Percussion . The Bills have also used the full marching bands from Attica High School , the University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University at home games in recent years . The Bills have several theme songs associated with them . One is a variation of the Isley Brothers hit `` Shout '' , recorded by Scott Kemper , which served as the Bills ' official promotional song from 1987 through 1990s . It was officially replaced circa 2000 with `` The Power of the Bills '' , although `` Shout '' remains in use . The Bills ' unofficial fight song , `` Go Bills '' , was penned by Bills head coach Marv Levy in the mid-1990s on a friendly wager with his players that he will write the song if the team won a particular game . Supporters The Bills Backers are the official fan organization of the Buffalo Bills . It has over 200 chapters across North America , Europe and Oceania . Also notable is the Bills Mafia , a collection of Bills fans organized via Twitter beginning in 2010 ; the phrase `` Bills Mafia '' had by 2017 grown to unofficially represent the broad community surrounding and encompassing the team as a whole , and players who join the Bills often speak of joining the Bills Mafia . Outsiders often treat the Bills ' fan base in derogatory terms , especially since the 2010s , in part because of negative press coverage of select fans ' wilder antics . The Bills are one of the favorite teams of ESPN announcer Chris Berman , who picked the Bills to reach the Super Bowl nearly every year in the 1990s . Berman often uses the catchphrase `` No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills ! '' Berman gave the induction speech for Bills owner Ralph Wilson when Wilson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2009 . The Bills were also the favorite team of late NBC political commentator Tim Russert , a South Buffalo native , who often referred to the Bills on his Sunday morning talk show , Meet the Press . ( His son , Luke , is also a notable fan of the team . ) CNN 's Wolf Blitzer , also a Buffalo native , has proclaimed he is also a fan , as has CBS Evening News lead anchor and Tonawanda native Jeff Glor . ESPN anchor Kevin Connors is also a noted Bills fan , dating to his time attending Ithaca College . Actor Nick Bakay , a Buffalo native , is also a well - known Bills fan ; he has discussed the team in segments of NFL Top 10 . Character actor William Fichtner , raised in Cheektowaga , is a fan , and did a commercial for the team in 2014 . In 2015 , Fichtner also narrated the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on the Bills four Super Bowl appearances , `` Four Falls of Buffalo '' . Former Olympic swimmer Summer Sanders has professed her fandom of the team . Bills fans are particularly well known for their wearing of Zubaz zebra - printed sportswear ; so much is the association between Bills fans and Zubaz that when a revival of the company opened their first brick - and - mortar storefront , it chose Western New York as its first location . In popular culture Buffalo 's rivalry with the Miami Dolphins is referenced on Steve Martin 's 1979 album Comedy Is Not Pretty ! on the track `` How To Meet A Girl . '' On the track , Martin simulates chatter about football at a party , and one `` partier '' expresses disbelief that Buffalo could beat Miami -- at the time of the album 's release , the Dolphins had won 18 straight games over the Bills . In the 1996 X-Files episode `` Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man '' , the titular character , a member of a shadowy government cabal , states that the Buffalo Bills will not win a Super Bowl while he lives . The Buffalo Bills were featured on the direct - to - TV movie Second String , and in the Vincent Gallo drama Buffalo 66 . Actor Dean Cain was briefly a member of the Bills . Because of this , references to the Bills have appeared in the television series Lois & Clark : The New Adventures of Superman , in which Cain played the title character . In the first episode of season four , titled `` Lord of the Flys '' , Clark picks up a blue Buffalo Bills hat with the Charging Buffalo emblem in the center and uses it to help disguise himself . In a later episode , he lets it be known the Metropolis Mammoths are playing the Bills . In an April 2011 episode of the television series 30 Rock , titled `` 100 '' , Alec Baldwin 's character Jack Donaghy discovers that , in an alternate future , he would not only be wealthier and more successful , but he would also be the owner of a `` New York football team . '' He later is disappointed to learn the team is not the New York Giants or New York Jets , but the Buffalo Bills . The Bills are the team that eventually unseats the Orlando Breakers , the fictional NFL team that serves as the focus of the sitcom Coach in later seasons , in the playoffs . In a March 2014 episode of the television series Family Guy entitled `` 3 Acts of God '' , Peter Griffin -- along with his family and friends -- attends a game between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough , Massachusetts , which the Bills win . The episode also features Bills players Mario Williams and C.J. Spiller guest starring as themselves . Several former Buffalo Bills players have earned a name in politics after their playing careers had ended , almost always as members of the Republican Party . The most famous of these was quarterback Jack Kemp , who was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Western New York in 1971 -- two years after his playing career ended and remained there for nearly two decades , serving as the Republican Party nominee for Vice President of the United States under Bob Dole in 1996 . Kemp 's backup , Ed Rutkowski , served as county executive of Erie County from 1979 to 1987 . Former tight end Jay Riemersma , defensive tackle Fred Smerlas and defensive end Phil Hansen have all run for Congress , though all three either lost or withdrew from their respective races . Quarterback Jim Kelly and running back Thurman Thomas have also both been mentioned as potential candidates for political office , although both have declined all requests to date .

Its source is in Triambakeshwar , Maharashtra . It flows east for 1,465 kilometres ( 910 mi ) draining the states of Maharashtra ( 48.6 % ) , Telangana ( 18.8 % ) , Andhra Pradesh ( 4.5 % ) , Chhattisgarh ( 10.9 % ) , Madhya Pradesh ( 10.0 % ) , Odisha ( 5.7 % ) , Karnataka ( 1.4 % ) and Puducherry ( Yanam ) and emptying into Bay of Bengal through its extensive network of tributaries . Measuring up to 312,812 km ( 120,777 sq mi ) , it forms one of the largest river basins in the Indian subcontinent , with only the Ganges and Indus rivers having a larger drainage basin . In terms of length , catchment area and discharge , the Godavari river is the largest in peninsular India , and had been dubbed as the Dakshina Ganga -- Ganges of the South . The river has been revered in Hindu scriptures for many millennia and continues to harbour and nourish a rich cultural heritage . In the past few decades , the river has been barricaded by a number of barrages and dams , restricting its flow . The river delta supports 729 persons / km -- nearly twice the density average for the nation , and has been categorized as having substantial to greater risk of flooding with rising sea levels .

Godavari River delta extending into the Bay of Bengal ( upper river in image ) . Bhadrachalam Temple during 2005 floods The Godavari originates in the Western Ghats of central India near Nashik in Maharashtra , 80 km ( 50 mi ) from the Arabian Sea . It flows for 1,465 km ( 910 mi ) , first eastwards across the Deccan Plateau then turns southeast , entering the West Godavari district and East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh , until it splits into two distributaries that widen into a large river delta and flow into the Bay of Bengal . The Godavari River has a coverage area of 312,812 km ( 120,777 sq mi ) , which is nearly one - tenth of the area of India and is greater than the areas of England and Ireland put together . The river basin is considered to be divided into 3 sections : Upper ( source to confluence with Manjira ) , Middle ( between confluence of Manjira and Pranhita ) and Lower ( Pranhita confluence to mouth ) . These put together account for 24.2 % of the total basin area . The rivers annual average water inflows are nearly 110 billion cubic metres . Nearly 50 % of the water availability is being harnessed . The water allocation from the river among the riparian states are governed by the Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal . The river has highest flood flows in India and experienced recorded flood of 3.6 million cusecs in the year 1986 and annual flood of 1.0 million cusecs is normal . Within Maharashtra ( edit ) In Maharashtra state where it takes origin , the river has an extensive course , the upper basin ( origin to its confluence with Manjira ) of which lies entirely within the state , cumulatively draining an area as large as 152,199 km ( 58,764 sq mi ) -- about half the area of Maharashtra . Within Nashik District the river assumes a north - easterly course till it flows into the Gangapur Reservoir created by a dam of the same name . The reservoir along with the Kashypi Dam provides potable water to Nashik , one of the largest cities located on its banks . The river as it emerges through the dam , some 8 km ( 5.0 mi ) upstream from Nashik , flows on a rocky bed undulated by a series of chasms and rocky ledges , resulting in the formation of two significant waterfalls -- the Gangapur waterfalls and the Someshwar Waterfalls , the latter , located at Someshwar and more popularly known as the Dudhsagar Waterfall About 10 km ( 6.2 mi ) east of Gangapur the river passes the town of Nashik where it collects its effluents in the form of the river Nasardi on its right bank . About 0.5 km ( 0.31 mi ) south direction from Nashik , the river bends sharply to the east , washing the base of a high cliff formerly the site of a Mughal fort , but which is now being eaten away by the action of floods . About 25 km ( 16 mi ) below Nashik is the confluence of the Godavari and one of its tributaries , the Darna river . The stream occupies , for nine months in the year , a small space in a wide and gravelly bed , the greyish banks being 4 to 6 m ( 13 to 20 ft ) high , topped with a deep layer of black soil . A few kilometres after its meeting with the Darna , the Godavari swerves to the north - east , till the Banganga , from the north - west , meets it on the left . The course of the main stream then tends more decidedly south . At Nandur - Madhmeshwar , the Kadva , a second large affluent , brings considerable increase to the waters of the Godavari . The river begins its southeasterly course characteristic of rivers of the Deccan Plateau . The river beyond exits the Niphad Taluka of Nashik and enter the Kopargaon taluka , Ahmednagar District . Within Ahmednagar the river quickly completes its short course , flowing alongside the town of Kopargaon and reaching Puntamba . Beyond this the river has been deployed as a natural boundary between the following districts : Ahmednagar and Aurangabad : Along the boundary here , it receives its first major tributary Pravara River , draining the former district , the confluence located at Pravarasangam . By virtue of a sub-tributary of Pravara -- Mandohol , which originates in Pune District -- the basin impinges the Pune District . The river at Paithan has been impounded by the Jayakwadi Dam forming the NathSagar Reservoir . Kalsubai located in Godavari basin , is the highest peak in Maharashtra . Beed and Jalna Beed and Parbhani : Located along here is its merger with Sindphana , an important tributary which drains a considerably large area within Beed . The sub-tributary river Bindusara forms a landmark at Beed . The river beyond , near the village Sonpeth , flows into Parbhani . Its course is relatively non-significant except for receiving two smaller streams -- Indrayani and Masuli -- merging at its left and right banks respectively . Within the last taluka of the district Parbhani , Purna , the river drains a major tributary of the same name : Purna It then exits into the neighboring district of Nanded where 10 km ( 6.2 mi ) before reaching the town Nanded , is impounded by the Vishnupuri Dam and thus with it , bringing Asia 's largest lift irrigation projects to life . A little downstream from Nanded , the river receives Asna , a small stream , on its left bank.It then runs into the controversial Babli project soon ends its course within Maharashtra , albeit temporarily , at its merger with a major tributary -- Manjira . The river after flowing into Telangana , re-emerges to run as a state boundary separating the Mancherial , Telangana from Gadchiroli , Maharashtra . At the state border , it runs between Sironcha and Somnoor Sangam receiving one tributary at each of those nodal points -- the Pranhita and subsequently the Indravati . Within Telangana ( edit ) Road Bridge over Godavari River at Bhadrachalam Godavari enters into Telangana in Nizamabad district at Kandakurthy where Manjira , Haridra rivers joins Godavari and forms Triveni Sangamam . The river flows along the border between Nirmal and Mancherial districts in the north and Nizamabad , Jagityal , Peddapalli districts to its south . About 12 km ( 7.5 mi ) after entering Telangana it merges with the back waters of the Sriram Sagar Dam . The river after emerging through the dam gates , enjoys a wide river bed , often splitting to encase sandy islands . The river receives a minor but significant tributary Kadam river . It then emerges at its eastern side to act as state border with Maharashtra only to later enter into Bhadradri Kothagudem district . In this district the river flows through an important Hindu pilgrimage town -- Bhadrachalam . The river further swells after receiving a minor tributary Kinnerasani River and exits into Andhra Pradesh . Within Andhra Pradesh ( edit ) The river at Papi Hills in Andhra Pradesh . The river near Yanam . Within the state of Andhra Pradesh , it flows through hilly terrain of the Eastern Ghats known as the Papi hills which explains the narrowing of its bed as it flows through a gorge for a few km , only to re-widen at Polavaram . Before crossing the Papi hills , it receives its last major tributary Sabari River on its left bank . The river upon reaching the plains begins to widen out until it reaches Rajamundry . Arma Konda or Jindhagada Peak ( 1,680 m ( 5,510 ft ) above msl ) located near Paderu is the highest peak in the Godavari river basin as well as in Eastern Ghats . After crossing Rajahmundry , the Godavari splits into two branches which are called Vriddha Gautami ( Gautami Godavari ) and Vasishta Godavari . Again the Gautami branch splits into two branches namely Gautami and Nilarevu . Similarly the Vasishta splits into two branches named Vasishta and Vainateya . These four branches which join the Bay of Bengal at different places , are forming a delta of length 170 km ( 110 mi ) along the coast of the Bay of Bengal and is called the Konaseema region . This delta along with the delta of the Krishna River is called the Rice Granary of South India . Tributaries ( edit ) The major tributaries of the river can be classified as the left bank tributaries which include the Purna , Pranhita , Indravati and Sabari River covering nearly 59.7 % of the total catchment area of the basin and the right bank tributaries Pravara , Manjira , Manair together contributing 16.1 % of the basin . Pranhita is the largest tributary covering about 34 % of its drainage basin . Though the river proper flows only for 113 km ( 70 mi ) , by virtue of its extensive tributaries Wardha , Wainganga , Penganga , the sub-basin drains all of Vidharba region as well as the southern slopes of the Satpura Ranges . Indravati is the 2nd largest tributary , known as the `` lifeline '' of the Kalahandi , Nabarangapur of Odisha & Bastar district of Chhattisgarh . Due to their enormous sub-basins both Indravati and Pranhita are considered rivers in their own right . Manjira is the longest tributary and holds the Nizam Sagar reservoir . Purna is a prime river in the water scarce Marathwada region of Maharashtra .

Amongst the huge numbers of people who have bathed in her waters as a rite of cleansing are said to have been the deity Baladeva 5000 years ago and the saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu 500 years ago . Every twelve years , Pushkaram fair is held on the banks of the river . Sculpture depicting govu vatsa and gowthama legend about birth of Godavari River A legend has it that the sage Gautama lived in the Brahmagiri Hills at Tryambakeshwar with his wife Ahalya . The couple lived the rest of their lives in the then village called Govuru , known as Kovvur ( `` cow '' ) since the British rule . Ahalya lived in a nearby place called Thagami ( now Thogummi ) . The sage , as a reason for the practice of annadanam ( `` giving away food '' to the needy ) , started cultivating rice crops and other crops . Once , the god Ganesha , on the wish of the munis , sent a miraculous cow maaya - dhenu , which resembled a normal cow . It entered the sage 's abode and started spoiling the rice while he was meditating . Since cattle is sacred to Hindus and shall always be treated with respect , he put the dharbha grass on the cow . But , to his surprise , it fell dead . Seeing what happened before their eyes , the munis and their wives cried out , `` We thought that Gautama - maharishi is a righteous man , but he committed bovicide ( killing of a cow or cattle ) ! '' . The sage wished to atone for this grievous sin . Therefore , he went to Nashik and observed tapas to Lord Tryambakeshwara ( a manifestation of the god Shiva ) , on the advice of the munis , praying for atonement and asking Him to make the Ganges flow over the cow . Shiva was pleased with the sage and diverted the Ganges which washed away the cow and gave rise to the Godavari river in Nashik . The water stream flowed past Kovvur and ultimately merged with the Bay of Bengal .

It is about 210 km ( 130 mi ) from state capital Hyderabad and accessible by road and rail ( nearest major station : Nizamabad , although Basar station also exists ) . It is considered that the sage Vyasa wrote the Mahabharata on the banks of Godavari at this location near Harsha house it is the beautiful scenario , and thus the place came to be known as Vyasara . Kandhakurthi - Thriveni sangamam where three rivers join . Godavari , Manjira River and Haridra River . Bhadrachalam -- Hindu Temple of Lord Rama . Dharmapuri , Telangana -- Hindu Temple of Lord Narasimha . Godavari flows from north to south in Dharmapuri , hence the river is locally called ' Dakshina Vahini ' ( South Flowing ) Kaleshwaram -- Sri Kaleswara Mukhteswara swamy Temple is situated here on the banks of Triveni sangamam of rivers godavari and pranahita .

Lambasingi hill station known for snowfall during winter season in Vishakhapatnam district . Deomali peak located in the Godavari basin is the highest peak ( 1672 m msl ) in Odisha state . Mandasa village in Srikakulam district - famous for Sri Vasudev Perumal temple , famous for sweet `` kova '' , near mahendragiri hill ( highest peak in eastern ghats ) . Flora and fauna ( edit ) See also : Wildlife sanctuaries of India , Tiger reserves of India , and List of national parks of India The Krishna Godavari Basin is one of the main nesting sites of the endangered Olive Ridley sea turtle . Godavari is also a home to the endangered fringed - lipped carp ( Labeo fimbriatus ) . The Coringa mangrove forests in the Godavari delta are the second largest mangrove formation in the country . Part of this has been declared as the Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary , renowned for reptiles . They also provide an important habitat to a wide variety of fish and crustaceans . These forests also act as barriers against cyclones , tropical storms , and storm surges , thus protecting the nearby villages . The Jayakwadi Bird Sanctuary is another haven for birds located near the town of Paithan spread across the back waters of the NathSagar Reservoir formed by impounding the Godavari by the massive Jayakwadi Dam . Its 341 km area is dotted by islands within the reservoir which serve as nesting sites for the birds . The Nandurmadmeshwar Bird Sanctuary is located along the back waters of the Godavari river near Nashik at its confluence with Kadva River . It is known as the Bharatpur of Maharashtra for the wide diversity of bird life that it harbours . The following are few other wildlife sanctuaries located in the river basin . Papikonda Wildlife Sanctuary Indravati National Park Kanger Ghati National Park Eturnagaram Wildlife Sanctuary Kawal Wildlife Sanctuary Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary Manjira Wildlife Sanctuary Pocharam Forest & Wildlife Sanctuary Pranahita Wildlife Sanctuary Tadoba Andhari Tiger Project Pench National Park Bor Wildlife Sanctuary Navegaon National Park Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary Gautala Wildlife Sanctuary Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary Painganga Wildlife Sanctuary Waterfalls ( edit ) See also : List of waterfalls of India Duduma Waterfalls is 175 metres ( 574 ft ) high and one of the highest waterfalls in southern India .

Old Godavari Bridge ( also known as Havelock bridge , and named after then Madras governor ) Godavari Bridge ( also known as Rail - cum - road bridge and Kovvur - Rajahmundry Bridge ) Godavari Arch Bridge ( also known as New railway bridge ) Fourth Bridge ( also known as new road bridge ) Old Godavari Bridge Construction of this bridge started in 1876 , and was completed in 1897 . It was constructed under the supervision of F.T. Granville Walton who had constructed the Dufferin Bridge over the Ganges , and Granville Mills , both British engineers . Spanning over 3 km in length , it linked the East Godavari and West Godavari districts . The bridge has been a vital link enabling trains to run between Chennai and Howrah . Trains continued over the bridge for a century until 1997 , when train services over the bridge were suspended after the construction of two additional bridges . Godavari Bridge Construction of this bridge started in 1970 , and was completed in 1974 . It serves as both a railway and a roadway between the East Godavari and West Godavari Districts . Godavari Arch Bridge This bridge was completed in 1997 , was built upstream of the earlier bridges . Fourth Bridge This bridge is the newest . It was opened to public from Godavari Pushkaras 2015 . This is a road connectivity bridge link supposed to ease traffic flow between Rajamundry and Kovvur Dams ( edit ) An upstream view of Jayakwadi Dam . Sriram Sagar Dam . Dowleswaram Dam near Rajahmundry on the river . The main Godavari River up to the confluence with Pranhita tributary is dammed fully to utilize the available water for irrigation . However , its main tributaries Pranhita , Indravati and Sabari which join in the lower reaches of the basin , carry three times more water compared to main Godavari . In 2015 , the water surplus Godavari River is linked to the water deficit Krishna River by commissioning the Polavaram right bank canal with the help of Pattiseema lift scheme to augment water availability to the Prakasam Barrage located in Andhra Pradesh . More dams are constructed in the Godavari River basin than in any other river basin of India . The following are the few dams located in the river basin : Gangapur Dam : This is a large earth fill dam with gross water storage of 215.88 million cubic metres , and located 10 km ( 6.2 mi ) upstream from Nashik city . The reservoir known as the Gangapur Bandh Sagar provides drinking water to the Nashik city and also supplies water to the thermal power station situated downstream at Eklahare . Jayakwadi dam : Located near Paithan , it is one of the largest earthen dams in India . This dam was built to address the dual problems of flooding along the banks , during monsoon months , and that of drought , rest of the year , in the Marathwada region . Two ' left ' and ' right ' canals provide the irrigation to fertile land up to Nanded district . This dam has contributed to industrial development of Aurangabad and Jalna , Maharashtra . Majalgaon Dam is also constructed under Jayakwadi stage 2 to expand the irrigation potential further in Parbhani , Nanded and Beed districts . Vishnupuri barrage : Asia 's Largest Lift Irrigation project , the Vishnupuri Prakalp has been constructed on the river at a distance of 5 km ( 3.1 mi ) from the city Nanded . Ghatghar Dam was built for hydro power generation by diverting the water of Pravara tributary outside Godavari river basin to a west flowing river which joins Arabian sea . Upper Vaitarna reservoir was built across west flowing Vaitarna river merging some part of Godavari river catchment area . Godavari water impounded in this reservoir is diverted outside the river basin for Mumbai city drinking water supply after generating hydro power . Sriram Sagar Dam : This is another multipurpose project on the Godavari River on the borders of Adilabad and Nizamabad District . It is near the town of Pochampad , 60 km away from Nizamabad . It has been described by The Hindu as a `` lifeline for a large part of Telangana '' . It serves the irrigation needs in Karimnagar , Warangal , Adilabad , Nalgonda , and Khammam districts and also generates power . Dowleswaram Barrage was built by Sir Arthur Cotton in 1852 . It got damaged in 1987 floods , and rebuilt as a barrage cum roadway soon after and named after him . The roadway connects Dowleswaram in East Godavari and Vijjeswaram in West Godavari . The irrigation canals of this barrage also form part of National Waterway 4 . Hydro power stations ( edit ) Upper Indiravati power house The Godavari River is one of the rivers whose water energy is least harnessed for generating hydro electricity . The 600 MW capacity Upper Indravati hydro power station is the biggest hydro power station which diverts Godavari River water to the Mahanadi River basin . The following is the list of hydro electric power stations excluding small and medium installations . Hydroelectric power stations on Godavari river Name of the project Rated Power ( in MW ) Upper Indravati 600 Machkund 120 Balimela 510 Upper Sileru 240 Lower Sileru 460 Upper Kolab 320 Pench 160 Ghatghar pumped storage 250 Polavaram 960 Geology and sediment transfer in the Godavari drainage basin ( edit ) Generalized Geological Map of Godavari Drainage Basin The primary / initial catchment of the Godavari drainage basin is largely represented by the basalt of the Deccan Volcanic Province ( ~ 50 % of the total basin area ) . This is followed by the Precambrian granites and gneisses of the eastern Dharwar Craton , sandstones , shales and limestones of the Gondwana Supergroup , various sedimentary units of Cuddapah and Vindhyan basins , charnockites and khondalites of the Proterozoic Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt and the sandstones of the Rajahmundry Formation . The Godavari River carries the largest sediment load among the peninsular rivers and the majority of the mass transfer in Godavari occurs during the monsoon . Mineral magnetic studies of the Godavari River sediments suggest that the floodplains in the entire stretch of the river are characterized by a Deccan basalt source . The bed loads on the other hand are of sourced from local bedrock . Influx of Deccan source in the Godavari River up to the delta regions and possibly in the Bay of Bengal off the Godavari , therefore , can be related to the intensive chemical weathering in the Deccan basalts . Abrupt increase in δ C values and decrease in TOC content accompanied with a significant increase in ferrimagnetic mineral concentration in Bay of Bengal sediments from ~ 3.2 to 3.1 cal . ka BP reflected a shift of organic carbon and sediment source and a severe decline in vegetation coverage . Such phenomena indicate intensified deforestation and soil / rock erosion in the Deccan Plateau producing higher ferrimagnetic mineral inputs , which is in agreement with significant expansion of agricultural activities in the Deccan Chalcolithic cultural period . Mineral deposits ( edit ) See also : List of mines in India Godavari river basin is endowed with rich mineral deposits such as oil & gas , coal , iron , lime stone , manganese , copper , bauxite , granite , laterite , etc . The following are the few noted deposits : Krishna Godavari Basin , oil & gas Godavari Valley Coalfield , coal Wardha Valley Coalfield , coal Pench Kanhan Coalfield , coal Bailadila iron , iron Rowghat Mines , iron Araku hills , bauxite Malanjkhand , copper MOIL , manganese Ecological concerns ( edit ) Dried up Godavari exposing flood basalt river bed as seen from the back of Changdev temple in Puntamba The frequent drying up of the Godavari river in the drier months has been a matter of great concern . Indiscriminate damming along the river has been cited as an obvious reason . Within Maharashtra sugarcane irrigation has been blamed as one of the foremost causes . In 2013 , the river was at its all - time low in the Nizamabad district of Telangana . This had hit the growth of fish , making the life of fishermen miserable. The water - level was so low that people could easily walk into the middle of the river . Shortage in rainfall and closure of the controversial Babli project gates in Maharashtra was thought to have affected the water flow in the river and water availability to the Sriram Sagar Project except during above 20 % excess monsoon ( i.e. one out of four years ) years . A study has found that the delta is at a greater risk as the rate of sediment aggradation ( raising the level of the delta through sediment deposition ) no longer exceeds relative sea - level rise . It further states that the suspended sediment load at the delta has reduced from 150 2 million tons during 1970 -- 1979 to 57 2 million tons by 2000 -- 2006 , which translates into a three-fold decline in the past 4 decades . Impacts of this can be seen in destroyed villages like Uppada in Godavari delta , destruction of Mangrove forests and fragmentation of shoreline -- possibly a fallout of dam construction . Said to further epitomise the insensitivity towards Godavari , is the Polavaram Project which is touted to be gigantic -- both in terms of size and violations . Deemed as being pointless and politically driven , the project raises questions about environmental clearance , displacement of upstream human habitations , loss of forest cover , technicalities in the dam design which are said to play down flood threats and unsafe embankments . High alkalinity water is discharged from the ash dump areas of many coal fired power stations into the river which further increases the alkalinity of the river water whose water is naturally of high alkalinity since the river basin is draining vast area of basalt formations . This problem aggravates during the lean flow months in entire river basin . Already the Godavari basin area in Telangana is suffering from high alkalinity and salinity water problem which is converting soils in to unproductive sodic alkali soils . The following are the few coal fired power stations located in the river basin : Thermal power stations in Godavari river basin Name of Power Station Rated Power ( in MW ) Koradi Thermal Power Station 2,600 Khaparkheda Thermal Power Station 1,340 Tirora Thermal Power Station 3,300 Butibori Power Project 600 RattanIndia Nashik TPS 1,350 Chandrapur STPS 3,340 Mauda Super Thermal Power Station 1,000 Parli Thermal Power Station 1,130 Dhariwal Power Station 300 Nashik Thermal Power Station 910 Wardha Warora Power Plant 540 Pench Thermal Power Plant 1,320 Lanco Vidarbha Thermal Power 1,320 NTPC Ramagundam 2,600 Kothagudem Thermal Power Station 1,720 Kakatiya Thermal Power Station 1,100 Ramagundam B Thermal Power Station 60 Manuguru Heavy water plant 's power station N / A Singareni thermal power station 1,800 Bhadradri Thermal Power Plant 1,080 In popular culture ( edit ) One of the ships of the Indian Navy has been named INS Godavari after the river .

"The Godavari is India's second longest river after the Ganga. Its source is in Triambakeshwar, Maharashtra.[4] It flows east for 1,465 kilometres (910 mi) draining the states of Maharashtra (48.6%), Telangana (18.8%), Andhra Pradesh (4.5%), Chhattisgarh (10.9%), Madhya Pradesh (10.0%), Odisha (5.7%), Karnataka (1.4%) and Puducherry (Yanam) and emptying into Bay of Bengal through its extensive network of tributaries.[5] Measuring up to 312,812 km2 (120,777 sq mi), it forms one of the largest river basins in the Indian subcontinent, with only the Ganges and Indus rivers having a larger drainage basin.[6] In terms of length, catchment area and discharge, the Godavari river is the largest in peninsular India, and had been dubbed as the Dakshina Ganga – Ganges of the South.[7]\n"

-874562339314263479 | List of Olympic Games host cities | List of Olympic Games host cities - wikipedia List of Olympic Games host cities Jump to : navigation , search This is a list of host cities of the Olympic Games , both summer and winter , since the modern Olympics began in 1896 . Since then , summer games have usually -- but not always -- celebrated a four - year period known as an Olympiad . There have been 28 Summer Olympic Games held in 24 cities , and 23 Winter Olympic Games held in 20 cities . In addition , three summer and two winter editions of the Games were scheduled to take place but later cancelled due to war : Berlin ( summer ) in 1916 ; Tokyo / Helsinki ( summer ) and Sapporo / Garmisch - Partenkirchen ( winter ) in 1940 ; and London ( summer ) and Cortina d'Ampezzo , Italy ( winter ) in 1944 . The 1906 Summer Olympics were officially sanctioned and held in Athens . However , in 1949 , the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) , decided to unrecognize the 1906 Games . Four cities have been chosen by the IOC to host upcoming Olympic Games : Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics , Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics , Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics , and Los Angeles for the 2028 Summer Olympics . In 2022 , Beijing will become the only city that has held both the summer and the winter Olympic Games . Nine cities will have hosted the Olympic Games more than once : Athens ( 1896 and 2004 Summer Olympics ) , Paris ( 1900 , 1924 and 2024 Summer Olympics ) , London ( 1908 , 1948 and 2012 Summer Olympics ) , St. Moritz ( 1928 and 1948 Winter Olympics ) , Lake Placid ( 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics ) , Los Angeles ( 1932 , 1984 and 2028 Summer Olympics ) , Innsbruck ( 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics ) , Tokyo ( 1964 and 2020 Summer Olympics ) and Beijing ( 2008 Summer Olympics and 2022 Winter Olympics ) . In addition , Stockholm hosted the 1912 Summer Olympics and the equestrian portion of the 1956 Summer Olympics . London became the first city to have hosted three Games with the 2012 Summer Olympics . Paris will become the second city to do this with the 2024 Summer Olympics , followed by Los Angeles as the third in 2028 . The United States has hosted a total of eight Olympic Games , more than any other country , followed by France with five editions . Canada , Germany , Italy , Japan , and the United Kingdom have each hosted three Games . The Games have primarily been hosted in the continents of Europe ( 36 editions ) and North America ( 12 editions ) ; eight Games have been hosted in Asia and two have been hosted in Oceania . In 2016 , Rio de Janeiro became South America 's first Olympic host city , while the African continent has yet to hold the Games . Other major geographic regions which have never hosted the Olympics include the Middle East , the Indian subcontinent , the Caribbean , and Southeast Asia . Host cities are selected by the IOC membership , usually seven years in advance . The selection process lasts approximately two years . In the first stage , any city in the world may submit an application to become a host city . After 10 months , the Executive Board of the IOC decides which applicant city will become official candidates as based on the recommendation of a working group that reviews the applications . In a second stage , the candidate cities are investigated thoroughly by an Evaluation Commission , which then submits a final short list of cities to be considered for selection . The host city is then chosen by vote of the IOC session , a general meeting of IOC members .

The 1906 Games were sanctioned and treated as an Olympic Games when held , and they were recognized as an Olympic Games by the IOC until 1949 The 1908 Games were originally given to Rome , but were moved to London when Mount Vesuvius erupted . The sailing events in 1920 were held in Ostend , Belgium and in Amsterdam , Netherlands . The 1940 winter games were originally awarded to Sapporo , but were moved to Garmisch - Partenkirchen before being cancelled . The 1940 summer games were originally awarded to Tokyo , but were moved to Helsinki before being cancelled . Equestrian events were held in Stockholm , Sweden . Stockholm had to bid for the equestrian competition separately ; it received its own Olympic flame and had its own formal invitations and opening and closing ceremonies , just like the regular Summer Olympics . Russia / Soviet Union spans the continents of Europe and Asia . However , the Russian National Olympic Committee is part of the European Olympic Committees . Also , Moscow is on the European side of the most commonly recognized boundary between Europe and Asia . ( Sochi is in Asia per the usual geographic boundary , being just south of the Greater Caucasus ' western end ; but political approximations of the continental boundary place it in Europe . ) Equestrian events were held in China 's Hong Kong SAR . Although Hong Kong 's separate NOC conducted the equestrian competition , it was an integral part of the Beijing Games ( unlike the 1956 Stockholm equestrian competition it was not conducted under a separate Hong Kong bid , separate flame , etc . ) .

"This is a list of host cities of the Olympic Games, both summer and winter, since the modern Olympics began in 1896. Since then, summer games have usually – but not always – celebrated a four-year period known as an Olympiad. There have been 28 Summer Olympic Games held in 24 cities, and 23 Winter Olympic Games held in 20 cities. In addition, three summer and two winter editions of the Games were scheduled to take place but later cancelled due to war: Berlin (summer) in 1916; Tokyo/Helsinki (summer) and Sapporo/Garmisch-Partenkirchen (winter) in 1940; and London (summer) and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy (winter) in 1944. The 1906 Summer Olympics were officially sanctioned and held in Athens. However, in 1949, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), decided to unrecognize the 1906 Games.[1] Four cities have been chosen by the IOC to host upcoming Olympic Games: Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics, Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics, Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics, and Los Angeles for the 2028 Summer Olympics."

Season 6 Episode 7 Directed by Chris Bennett Written by Mike Barker Production code 4AJN22 Original air date November 22 , 2009 Guest appearance ( s ) Zach Galifianakis as heavyset man / Norman Jim James as himself Episode chronology ← Previous `` Shallow Vows '' Next → `` G - String Circus '' American Dad ! ( season 6 ) List of American Dad ! episodes `` My Morning Straitjacket '' is the seventh episode of the sixth season and the eighty fourth overall episode of the animated comedy series American Dad ! . It aired on Fox in the United States on November 22 , 2009 , and is written by Mike Barker and directed by Chris Bennett . In the episode , when Stan crashes a My Morning Jacket concert to drag Hayley out of it , he decides that he likes the band so much so that he becomes a groupie and follows them on the road . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Production 3 Reception 4 Music 5 References 6 External links Plot ( edit ) Stan gets angry when Hayley is not at the dinner table because she has gone to a rock concert , which he considers to be a bad influence . Stan decides to scare Hayley straight by dressing up as a spider when she comes home , but Hayley defends herself against Stan and says that she is going to see My Morning Jacket when they play the next evening . Stan swallows Hayley 's ticket , but Francine later retrieves it from Stan 's body using tongs , then reminisces with Hayley about her own concert - going days , remarking on how hard she had to work to get backstage . While Hayley is at the concert Francine has Roger dress up as Hayley . Stan does not notice at first , but the ruse fails when Francine calls Roger by name . Stan races to the concert , only to find himself entranced by the music . Stan becomes obsessed with My Morning Jacket and decides to meet Jim James , believing they are soul mates and that James is writing the music specifically for him . Disguised as a reporter for Rolling Stone ( an allusion to the film Almost Famous ) , Stan follows My Morning Jacket on tour , accompanied by Roger . Roger manages to get Stan backstage at a show and onto the tour bus , but when Stan tells a bogus story about freebasing cocaine with ' Tina Jivestrong ' & ' the black guy from The Beatles ' , they get thrown off the bus . Roger steals a car to get them to the next concert in Albany , New York . However , Stan does not get through the backstage entrance after Roger abandons him . Deciding to help Stan and end his quest , Francine turns up , dressed as a groupie . She effortlessly flirts and flashes her way through numerous security checkpoints , progressing from a simple hair - flip through lifting her shirt to lifting her skirt and finally making out with the last guard , a woman . Stan meets Jim James , who , after being freaked out by Stan , points out the flaws in his logic and tells him that he could not possibly be writing his songs just for him , seeing as how they never knew each other , and that Francine is the one who truly understands him . The episode ends with Francine and Stan rekindling their passion for each other ( still in Jim James 's dressing room ) with the female security guard coming in the room to join them , closing the door behind her . Production ( edit ) In a November 2009 , interview the episode 's writer Mike Barker spoke about how an experience at the 2008 Bonnaroo Music Festival inspired the episode , saying : `` At Bonnaroo , I 'm watching these guys create this lush , intense sound as the rain is washing over them ... and as the sheet of rain attacks the stage , the raindrops are being illuminated by the multi-colored stage lights , and it was just ... biblical . And it was one of those moments -- and by moment I do n't mean during a certain chorus or something , I mean the entire time the guys are playing -- it was one of those moments where everyone in attendance realized they were witnessing something really special . No one 's worried about getting wet , or getting their shoes muddy , or needing to sit down after standing shoulder to shoulder with wet strangers for four straight hours . And I actually remember having the thought , `` If lightning strikes these guys dead , there 's not a thing tragic about that . '' Seriously , can you tell me a better way for a musician to go ? Because I ca n't think of it . But during the show , I start to become aware of how intensely I loved this music , and by extension , these guys for playing it . And I thought to myself , `` What if I try to share this experience through the characters in American Dad ? Is it possible to translate how much I love this music to a large portion of American Dad 's audience that presently has no idea that this band even exists ? '' That would be my way of giving back , I suppose . My Morning Jacket is one of the greatest bands of all time , so why would n't I try to share that fact ? '' American Dad ! co-creator Mike Barker wrote the episode . He also spoke about producing the episode , saying : `` I was definitely conscious of the fact that the band could end up hating this episode and resenting me for not delivering like I had assured them I would . I mean , it 's tricky . Normally when we ( the writers ) make our episodes , our primary rule is that we have to make ourselves laugh . We have to find the episode interesting and funny . Because if we 're laughing , then there 's a good chance our audience is laughing , too . But with this episode ... well , suddenly there 's this entirely new segment of people that will be watching the show , many of them for the first time , and that 's the My Morning Jacket fans . And the fans have certain thoughts and feelings about both the music , as well as the guys making it . The last thing I want is for my episode -- which is really a pretty personal creative experiment -- is for it to somehow reflect negatively back on the band . Jim and the guys were really great at respecting my autonomy throughout the process . This is a story I wanted to tell , and basically they took a big leap of faith by entrusting me , this absolute stranger , with their music , their voices , and ultimately , their image . So perhaps the most important thing for me in regards to the band was to do everything in my power to make sure that the episode did n't suck . Because if it 's bad , or embarrassing , then that leads to questions from the fans like `` Why would MMJ do this ? '' and suddenly this incredibly thoughtful and principled band is on the firing line for selling out or something . '' He also spoke about if the band had any input on their character designs , saying : `` We gave the band customary consultation and they signed off on all of the artwork we ran by them . It 's always tricky animating real people . Because you 're not just animating them to resemble who they are in real life , you also have to make sure they resemble characters that live in the American Dad universe , and that carries with it a whole host of challenging parameters for our animators . But I think our character designers did a great job at capturing Jim and the guys . '' Reception ( edit ) Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club gave the episode a B+ , saying `` Good old reliable American Dad was again the best of the bunch , though I suspect I would have liked this episode a lot more if I had any real knowledge about My Morning Jacket , a band I always mean to get into but never do . The show seems to do a lot of plots where Stan is introduced to some new craze by one of the supporting characters and then he goes nuts for it , but it 's usually funny because Stan is such a straitlaced character . So his obsession with the band , which seemed like it would stop being funny roughly a minute after it was introduced , kept getting weirder and weirder and funnier and funnier . '' The episode was watched by a total of 5.52 million people , this made it the fourth most watched show on Animation Domination that night , losing to The Cleveland Show , The Simpsons and Family Guy with 7.38 million . Music ( edit ) The songs featured in the episode are `` Touch Me I 'm Going to Scream Part 2 '' , `` I 'm Amazed '' , `` Remnants '' , and `` Highly Suspicious '' from the album Evil Urges , and `` Phone Went West '' from At Dawn . The song most prominently featured in the episode is `` Wordless Chorus '' from Z . A live performance of the song taken from the concert film Okonokos plays over the ending credits . References were also made to the songs `` I Will Sing You Songs '' and `` Mahgeetah '' from the album It Still Moves . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` American Dad !

For other uses , see Eye of the Tiger ( disambiguation ) . `` Eye of the Tiger '' Single by Survivor from the album Rocky III and Eye of the Tiger B - side `` Take You on a Saturday '' Released 1982 Format 7 - inch single 12 - inch single ( 45 rpm ) Genre Hard rock Length 4 : 04 ( album version ) 3 : 45 ( single version ) Label EMI Scotti Brothers Songwriter ( s ) Frankie Sullivan Jim Peterik Producer ( s ) Frankie Sullivan Jim Peterik Survivor singles chronology `` Summer Nights '' ( 1982 ) `` Eye of the Tiger '' ( 1982 ) `` American Heartbeat '' ( 1982 ) Audio sample file help Music video Eye of the Tiger on YouTube `` Eye of the Tiger '' is a song composed by American rock band Survivor . It was released as a single from their third album of the same name Eye of the Tiger and was also the theme song for the film Rocky III , which was released a day before the single . The song was written by Survivor guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik , and was recorded at the request of Rocky III star , writer , and director Sylvester Stallone , after Queen denied him permission to use `` Another One Bites the Dust '' , the song Stallone intended as the Rocky III theme . The version of the song that appears in the movie is the demo version of the song . The movie version also contained tiger growls , something that did not appear on the album version . It features original Survivor singer Dave Bickler on lead vocals . It gained tremendous MTV and radio airplay and topped charts worldwide during 1982 . In the United States , it held No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six consecutive weeks and was the No. 2 single of 1982 , behind Olivia Newton - John 's `` Physical '' . It spent fifteen consecutive weeks in the top ten , the second longest run of 1982 , behind `` Hurts So Good '' by John Cougar ( which was prevented from reaching the top of the Hot 100 by `` Eye of the Tiger '' ) . This top ten run is tied with the aforementioned `` Another One Bites the Dust '' as well as `` Physical '' as the longest run in the top ten for a number one song during the entire 1980 's decade . The band won a 1982 Grammy Award for `` Best Rock Performance by Duo or Group With Vocal '' at the 25th Annual Grammy Awards . In September 1982 , it also peaked at No. 1 in the United Kingdom , remaining at the top of the UK Singles Chart for four consecutive weeks . The song is also the title song to the 1986 film of the same name . It was certified platinum in August 1982 by the RIAA , signifying sales of 2 million vinyl copies . The song had sold over 4.1 million in digital downloads in the United States alone by February 2015 . It was voted VH1 's 63rd greatest hard rock song . Combined sales of original vinyl release and digital downloads total over 9 million copies .

At first , we wondered if calling it `` Eye of the Tiger '' was too obvious . The initial draft of the song , we started with `` It 's the eye of the tiger , it 's the thrill of the fight , rising up to the spirit of our rival , and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night , and it all comes down to survival . '' We were going to call the song `` Survival '' . In the rhyme scheme , you can tell we had set up `` rival '' to rhyme with `` survival '' . At the end of the day , we said , `` Are we nuts ? '' That hook is so strong , and `` rival '' does n't have to be a perfect rhyme with the word `` tiger '' . We made the right choice and went with `` Eye of the Tiger '' . Accolades ( edit ) The song was nominated for the 1982 Academy Award for Best Original Song , the only Oscar nomination for Rocky III . It lost to `` Up Where We Belong '' from An Officer and a Gentleman . The song was also nominated for the 1983 Grammy Award for Song of the Year , but lost to the Willie Nelson hit `` Always on My Mind '' . Cover versions ( edit ) Covers ( edit ) Frank Bruno , a British world Heavyweight champion boxer , covered it in 1995 , the year of his championship coronation , reaching number 28 in the British music charts . American metalcore band Devil You Know covered it in the 2015 album They Bleed Red . Parodies ( edit ) `` Theme from Rocky XIII ( The Rye or the Kaiser ) '' , by `` Weird Al '' Yankovic in his 1984 album `` Weird Al '' Yankovic in 3 - D . `` I Have to Die First '' , by ApologetiX . `` Eye of the Potato '' in Sesame Street '' Eye of the Spider '' , by Itsoo1 Lawsuits ( edit ) Newt Gingrich campaign ( edit ) In 2012 , Survivor sued Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich in Illinois federal court for using `` Eye of the Tiger '' without authorization as entrance music at his political rallies going back as far as 2009 . The suit was later settled out of court . The same year Sullivan also demanded that Mitt Romney , also a Republican candidate for president , stop using `` Eye of the Tiger '' at his campaign rallies . Romney agreed to drop the song from the campaign 's playlists . Mike Huckabee 's campaign ( edit ) Frankie Sullivan 's company Rude Music filed a lawsuit in federal court in Chicago , Illinois , on November 18 , 2015 , against the former Governor of Arkansas and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee 's campaign organization for using `` Eye of the Tiger '' at a political rally without permission . The rally took place on September 8 , 2015 , when Kim Davis , a Kentucky county clerk , was released from jail after spending five days there for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same - sex couples in Kentucky . In June 2016 it was reported by CNN that Huckabee had agreed , in a confidential , out - of - court settlement with Sullivan 's Rude Music , to pay $25,000 in compensation .

"\"Eye of the Tiger\" is a song composed by American rock band Survivor. It was released as a single from their third album of the same name Eye of the Tiger and was also the theme song for the film Rocky III, which was released a day before the single. The song was written by Survivor guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik, and was recorded at the request of Rocky III star, writer, and director Sylvester Stallone, after Queen denied him permission to use \"Another One Bites the Dust\", the song Stallone intended as the Rocky III theme.[2] The version of the song that appears in the movie is the demo version of the song. The movie version also contained tiger growls, something that did not appear on the album version. It features original Survivor singer Dave Bickler on lead vocals.[3]\n"

Thailand ( / ˈtaɪlænd / TY - land ) , officially the Kingdom of Thailand and formerly known as Siam , is a country at the center of the Southeast Asian Indochinese peninsula composed of 76 provinces . At 513,120 km ( 198,120 sq mi ) and over 68 million people , Thailand is the world 's 50th largest country by total area and the 21st-most - populous country . The capital and largest city is Bangkok , a special administrative area . Thailand is bordered to the north by Myanmar and Laos , to the east by Laos and Cambodia , to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia , and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Myanmar . Its maritime boundaries include Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand to the southeast , and Indonesia and India on the Andaman Sea to the southwest . Although nominally a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy , the most recent coup in 2014 established a de facto military dictatorship . Tai peoples migrated from southwestern China to mainland Southeast Asia from the 11th century ; the oldest known mention of their presence in the region by the exonym Siamese dates to the 12th century . Various Indianised kingdoms such as the Mon , the Khmer Empire and Malay states ruled the region , competing with Thai states such as Ngoenyang , the Sukhothai Kingdom , Lan Na and the Ayutthaya Kingdom , which rivaled each other . European contact began in 1511 with a Portuguese diplomatic mission to Ayutthaya , one of the great powers in the region . Ayutthaya reached its peak during cosmopolitan Narai 's reign ( 1656 -- 88 ) , gradually declining thereafter until being ultimately destroyed in 1767 in a war with Burma . Taksin quickly reunified the fragmented territory and established the short - lived Thonburi Kingdom . He was succeeded in 1782 by Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke , the first monarch of the Chakri dynasty and founder of the Rattanakosin Kingdom , which lasted into the early 20th century . Through the 18th and 19th centuries , Siam faced pressure from France and the United Kingdom , including forced concessions of territory , but nevertheless it remained the only Southeast Asian country to avoid direct Western rule . Following a bloodless revolution in 1932 , Siam became a constitutional monarchy and changed its official name to `` Thailand '' . While it joined the Allies in World War I , Thailand was an Axis satellite in World War II . In the late 1950s , a military coup revived the monarchy 's historically influential role in politics . Thailand became a major ally of the United States and played a key anti-communist role in the region . Apart from a brief period of parliamentary democracy in the mid 1970s , Thailand has periodically alternated between democracy and military rule . In the 21st century , Thailand endured a political crisis that culminated in two coups and the establishment of its current and 20th constitution by the military junta . Thailand is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy under a military junta . Thailand is a founding member of Association of Southeast Asian Nations and remains a major ally of the US . Despite its comparatively sporadic changes in leadership , it is considered a regional power in Southeast Asia and a middle power in global affairs . With a high level of human development , the second largest economy in Southeast Asia , and the 20th largest by PPP , Thailand is classified as a newly industrialized economy ; manufacturing , agriculture , and tourism are leading sectors of the economy .

Etymology of `` Siam '' The country has always been called Mueang Thai by its citizens . By outsiders prior to 1949 , it was usually known by the exonym Siam ( Thai : สยาม RTGS : Sayam , pronounced ( sajǎːm ) , also spelled Siem , Syâm , or Syâma ) . The word Siam may have originated from Pali ( suvaṇṇabhūmi , `` land of gold '' ) or Sanskrit श्याम ( śyāma , `` dark '' ) or Mon ရာမည ( rhmañña , `` stranger '' ) . The names Shan and A-hom seem to be variants of the same word . The word Śyâma is possibly not its origin , but a learned and artificial distortion . Another theory is the name derives from Chinese : `` Ayutthaya emerged as a dominant centre in the late fourteenth century . The Chinese called this region Xian , which the Portuguese converted into Siam . '' ( Baker and Phongpaichit , A History of Thailand , 8 ) A further possibility is that Mon - speaking peoples migrating south called themselves ' syem ' as do the autochthonous Mon - Khmer - speaking inhabitants of the Malay Peninsula . SPPM Mongkut Rex Siamensium , King Mongkut 's signature The signature of King Mongkut ( r . 1851 -- 1868 ) reads SPPM ( Somdet Phra Poramenthra Maha ) Mongkut King of the Siamese , giving the name `` Siam '' official status until 24 June 1939 when it was changed to Thailand . Thailand was renamed to Siam from 1946 to 1948 , after which it again reverted to Thailand . Etymology of `` Thailand '' According to George Cœdès , the word Thai ( ไทย ) means `` free man '' in the Thai language , `` differentiating the Thai from the natives encompassed in Thai society as serfs '' . A famous Thai scholar argued that Thai ( ไท ) simply means `` people '' or `` human being '' , since his investigation shows that in some rural areas the word `` Thai '' was used instead of the usual Thai word `` khon '' ( คน ) for people . According to Michel Ferlus , the ethnonyms Thai / Tai ( or Thay / Tay ) would have evolved from the etymon * k ( ə ) ri : ' human being ' through the following chain : * kəri : > * kəli : > * kədi : / * kədaj > * di : / * daj > * daj ( Proto - Southwestern Tai ) > thaj ( in Siamese and Lao ) or > taj ( in the other Southwestern and Central Tai languages classified by Li Fangkuei ) . Michel Ferlus ' work is based on some simple rules of phonetic change observable in the Sinosphere and studied for the most part by William H. Baxter ( 1992 ) . While Thai people will often refer to their country using the polite form prathet Thai ( Thai : ประเทศไทย ) , they most commonly use the more colloquial term mueang Thai ( Thai : เมือง ไทย ) or simply Thai ; the word mueang , archaically referring to a city - state , is commonly used to refer to a city or town as the centre of a region . Ratcha Anachak Thai ( Thai : ราช อาณาจักร ไทย ) means `` kingdom of Thailand '' or `` kingdom of Thai '' . Etymologically , its components are : ratcha ( Sanskrit राजन् , rājan , `` king , royal , realm '' ) ; - ana - ( Pali āṇā `` authority , command , power '' , itself from the Sanskrit आज्ञा , ājñā , of the same meaning ) - chak ( from Sanskrit चक्र cakra - `` wheel '' , a symbol of power and rule ) . The Thai National Anthem ( Thai : เพลง ชาติ ) , written by Luang Saranupraphan during the extremely patriotic 1930s , refers to the Thai nation as prathet Thai ( Thai : ประเทศไทย ) . The first line of the national anthem is : prathet thai ruam lueat nuea chat chuea thai ( Thai : ประเทศไทย รวม เลือดเนื้อ ชาติ เชื้อ ไทย ) , `` Thailand is the unity of Thai flesh and blood . '' History Main article : History of Thailand Prehistory. Main articles : Prehistoric Thailand , Early history of Thailand , and Tai peoples Map showing geographic distribution of Tai - Kadai linguistic family . Arrows represent general pattern of the migration of Tai - speaking tribes along the rivers and over the lower passes . There is evidence of continued human habitation in present - day Thailand dated to 20,000 years before present . Earliest evidence of rice growing was dated 2,000 BCE . Bronze appeared during 1,250 -- 1,000 BCE . The site of Ban Chiang in Northeast Thailand currently ranks as the earliest known center of copper and bronze production in Southeast Asia . Iron appeared around 500 BCE . Kingdom of Funan was the first and most powerful South East Asian kingdom at the time ( 2nd century BCE ) . Mon people established principalities of Dvaravati and kingdom of Hariphunchai in the 6th century . Khmer people established Khmer empire centered in Angkor in the 9th century . Tambralinga , a Malay state controlling trade through Malacca Strait , rose in the 10th century . Indochina peninsula was heavily influenced by the culture and religions of India , starting with the Kingdom of Funan to the Khmer Empire . Thai people are in Tai ethnic group , which were characterized by common linguistic roots . Chinese chronicles first mentioned Tai peoples in 6th century BC . While there are many assumptions regarding the origin of Tai peoples , David K. Wyatt , a prominent historian on Thailand , argued that their ancestors which at the present inhabit Laos , Thailand , Myanmar , India and China came from Điện Biên Phủ area around 5th and 8th century . Thai people began migrating into present - day Thailand around 11th century , which Mon and Khmer people occupied at the time . Thus Thai culture was influenced by Indian , Mon and Khmer cultures . According to French historian George Cœdès , `` The Thai first enter history of Farther India in the eleventh century with the mention of Syam slaves or prisoners of war in '' Champa epigraphy , and `` in the twelfth century , the bas - reliefs of Angkor Wat '' where `` a group of warriors '' are described as Syam . Early states Main article : Initial states of Thailand States in the Indochinese peninsula in the late 13th century . After the decline of the Khmer Empire and Kingdom of Pagan in the early 13th century , various states thrived in their place . The domains of Tai people existed from the northeast of present - day India to the north of present - day Laos and to the Malay peninsula . During the 13th century , Tai people have already settled in the core land of Dvaravati and Lavo Kingdom to Nakhon Si Thammarat in the south . There are , however , no records detailing the arrival of the Tais . Around 1240s , Pho Khun Bang Klang Hao , a local Tai ruler , rallied the people to rebel against the Khmer . He later crowned himself the first king of Sukhothai Kingdom in 1238 . Mainstream Thai historians count Sukhothai as the first kingdom of Thai people . Sukhothai expanded furthest during the reign of Ram Khamhaeng ( 1279 -- 98 ) . However , it was mostly a network of local lords who swore fealty to Sukhothai , not directly controlled by it . He is believed to invent Thai script and Thai ceramics was an important export goods in his era . Sukhothai embraced Theravada Buddhism in the reign of Maha Thammaracha I ( 1347 -- 68 ) . To the north , Mangrai who descended from a local ruler linage of Ngoenyang , founded the kingdom of Lan Na in 1292 , centered in Chiang Mai . He unified the surrounding area and his dynasty would rule the kingdom continuously for the next two centuries . He also created a network of alliance through political alliance to the east and north of Mekong . While in the port in Lower Chao Phraya Basin , a federation around Phetchaburi , Suphan Buri , Lopburi and Ayutthaya area was created in the 11th century . Ayutthaya Kingdom Main articles : Ayutthaya Kingdom and Thonburi Kingdom According to the most widely accepted version of its origin , Ayutthaya Kingdom rose from the earlier , nearby Lavo Kingdom and Suvarnabhumi with Uthong as its first king . Ayutthaya was a patchwork of self - governing principalities and tributary provinces owing allegiance to the king of Ayutthaya under mandala system . Its initial expansion is through conquest and political marriage . Before the end of the 15th century , Ayutthaya invaded Khmer Empire twice and sacked its capital Angkor . Ayutthaya then became a regional great power in place of Khmer Empire . Borommatrailokkanat brought about bureaucratic reforms which lasted into the 20th century and created a system of social hierarchy called Sakdina , where common male was conscripted into corvée for six months a year . Ayutthaya was interested in Malay peninsula but failed to conquer Malacca Sultanate which was supported by Chinese Ming Dynasty . Siamese envoys presenting letter to Pope Innocent XI , 1688 European contact and trade started in the early 16th century , with the envoy of Portuguese duke Afonso de Albuquerque in 1511 , followed by the French , Dutch , and English . Ayutthaya then was at war with Burmese Taungoo Dynasty . Multiple wars starting in the 1540s were ultimately ended with capture of the capital in 1570 . Then was a period of brief vassalage to Burma until Naresuan proclaimed independence in 1584 . Ayutthaya was an important trade center which was known to trade with China , India , Persia , and Arab lands . The kingdom especially prospered during cosmopolitan Narai 's reign ( 1656 -- 88 ) . Some European travelers regarded Ayutthaya as Asian great powers alongside China and India . However , growing French influence later in his reign was met with nationalist sentiment and led eventually to the revolution of 1688 . Trade with the West declined afterwards , even though overall relations remain stable with French missionaries still active in preaching Christianity . After that , there was a period of relative peace but the kingdom 's influence gradually waned , partly because of bloody struggles over each succession , until the capital Ayutthaya was utterly destroyed in 1767 by Burma 's new Alaungpaya dynasty . Anarchy followed destruction of the former capital , with its territories split into five different factions , each controlled by a warlord . Taksin rose to power and proclaimed Thonburi as temporary capital in the same year . He also quickly subdued the other warlords . His forces engaged in wars with Burma , Laos , and Cambodia , which successfully drove the Burmese out of Lan Na in 1775 , captured Vientiane in 1778 and tried to install a pro-Thai king in Cambodia in the 1770s . In his final years there was a coup which was caused by his supposedly `` insanity , '' and eventually Taksin and his sons were executed by longtime companion General Chao Phraya Chakri ( future Rama I ) . He was the first king of the ruling Chakri Dynasty and founder of Bangkok ( Rattanakosin Kingdom ) on April 6 , 1782 . Modernization and centralization Main article : Rattanakosin Kingdom Siamese territorial concessions to Britain and France by year Under Rama I , Rattanakosin successfully defended against Burmese attacks and put an end to Burmese invasion . He also created overlordship over large portions of Laos and Cambodia . In 1821 , John Crawfurd was sent on a mission to negotiate a new trade agreement with Siam -- the first sign of an issue which was to dominate 19th - century Siamese politics . Bangkok signed Burney Treaty in 1826 , after the British victory in First Anglo - Burmese War . Anouvong of Vientiane , who misunderstood that Britain was about to attack Bangkok , started the Lao rebellion in 1826 and was defeated . Vientiane was destroyed and a large number of Lao people was relocated to Khorat Plateau as the result . Bangkok also waged multiple wars with Vietnam , where Bangkok successfully regained influence over Cambodia . European pressure mounted and in 1855 , during Mongkut 's reign , a British mission led by Sir John Bowring , Governor of Hong Kong , led to the conclusion of Bowring Treaty , first of many unequal treaties with Western countries . However , Thailand is the only Southeast Asian nation to never have been colonized by any Western power , in part because Britain and France agreed in 1896 to make the Chao Phraya valley their buffer state . Western influence nevertheless led to many reforms in the 19th century . Chulalongkorn introduced the Monthon system , where centralized officials were sent to oversee the entire land , thus effectively ending the power of all local dynasties . He also abolished corvée system and slavery in Siam , his best - known act . There were also major concessions to France and Britain , most notably the loss of a large protectorate territory east of the Mekong composed of present - day Laos and Cambodia and the ceding of four Malay provinces to Britain in Anglo - Siamese Treaty of 1909 . In 1917 , Siam joined the Allies of World War I and is counted as one of the victors of World War I . Constitutional monarchy , World War II , and cold War Main articles : Thailand in World War II and History of Thailand ( 1932 -- 73 ) Phraya Manopakorn Nititada addressing the crowd at Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall after the 1932 revolution . The bloodless revolution took place in 1932 carried out by the Khana Ratsadon group of military and civilian officials resulted in a transition of power , when King Prajadhipok was forced to grant the people of Siam their first constitution , thereby ending centuries of absolute monarchy . His conflicting view with the government led to abdication . The government selected Ananda Mahidol to be the new king . Later that decade , the military wing of Khana Ratsadon came to dominate Siamese politics . Field Marshall Plaek Phibunsongkhram built fascism , and decreed cultural mandates which changed the name of the kingdom to `` Thailand '' and affected many aspects of daily life . After France was conquered by Nazi Germany in June 1940 , Thailand took the opportunity to retake territories conceded to the French many decades earlier , which Thailand won the majority of the battles . The conflict came to an end with Japanese mediation . On December 7 , 1941 , the Empire of Japan launched an invasion of Thailand , and fighting broke out shortly before Phibun ordered an armistice . Japan was granted free passage , and on December 21 , Thailand and Japan signed a military alliance with a secret protocol , wherein Tokyo agreed to help Thailand regain territories lost to the British and French . Subsequently , Thailand declared war on the United States and the United Kingdom on January 25 , 1942 , and while the government undertook to `` assist '' Japan , some people launched an active anti-Japanese Free Thai Movement . After the war , most Allied powers did not recognize Thailand 's declaration of war . Coronation of Bhumibol Adulyadej . In June 1946 , young King Ananda was found dead under mysterious circumstances . His younger brother Bhumibol Adulyadej succeeded the throne . In 1954 , Thailand signed Southeast Asia Treaty Organization ( SEATO ) to became an active ally of the United States . Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat launched a coup in 1957 , which removed Khana Ratsadon from politics . He also revived the monarchy 's role in politics . Military dictatorships at the time were supported by US government , and Thailand joined anti-communist measures in the region alongside the US , most notably participation in the Vietnam War between 1965 and 1971 . The period brought about increasing modernisation and Westernisation . Internal conflict regarding economic difficulties which began in 1968 led to 1973 Thai popular uprising , an important event in Thai modern history . Contemporary History See also : History of Thailand since 1973 United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship , Red Shirts , protest in 2010 Constant unrest and instability , as well as fear of communist takeover after Fall of Saigon , made some ultra-right groups brand increasingly leftist students as communists . This culminated in Thammasat University massacre in October 1976 . A coup d'état on that very day brought Thailand a new ultra-right government , which oppressed many media outlets , officials , and intellectuals , and fueled the Communist insurgency further . Another coup in the following year installed a more moderate government , which offered amnesty to communist fighters in 1978 . The Party abandoned the insurgency by 1983 . Thailand had its first elected Prime Minister in 1988 . Suchinda Kraprayoon , who was the coup leader in 1991 and said he would not seek to become Prime Minister , was nominated as one by majority coalition government after the 1992 general election . This caused a popular demonstration in Bangkok , which ended with a military crackdown . Bhumibol intervened in the event and Suchinda then resigned . The 1997 Asian financial crisis originated in Thailand and forced the country to take an IMF loan with unpopular provisions . The populist Thai Rak Thai party , led by prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra , governed from 2001 until 2006 . A South Thailand insurgency escalated starting from 2004 . The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami hit the country , mostly in the south . Massive protests against Thaksin , led by the People 's Alliance for Democracy ( PAD ) , ended with a coup d'état in 2006 . In 2007 , a civilian government led by the Thaksin - allied People 's Power Party ( PPP ) was elected . Another protest led by PAD ended with the dissolution of PPP , and the Democrat Party led a coalition government in its place . The pro-Thaksin United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship ( UDD ) protested both in 2009 and in 2010 . After the general election of 2011 , the populist Pheu Thai Party won a majority and Yingluck Shinawatra , Thaksin 's younger sister , became Prime Minister . The People 's Democratic Reform Committee organized another anti-Shinawatra protest , which ended with another coup d'état in 2014 . The National Council for Peace and Order , a military junta led by General Prayut Chan - o - cha , has led the country since . The referendum and adoption of Thailand 's current constitution happened under the junta 's rule . In 2016 Bhumibol , the longest reigning Thai king , died , and his son Vajiralongkorn ascended the throne . Politics and government Main articles : Politics of Thailand , Constitutions of Thailand , Law of Thailand , and Government of Thailand Thailand 's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was removed from office on 7 May 2014 by a controversial Constitutional Court decision . Prior to 1932 , all legislative powers were vested in the monarch . This had been the case since the foundation of the Sukhothai Kingdom in the 12th century as the king was seen as a `` Dharmaraja '' or `` king who rules in accordance with Dharma '' , ( the Buddhist law of righteousness ) . Modern absolute monarchy was established by Chulalongkorn when he transformed the decentralized protectorate system into a unitary state . On 24 June 1932 , Khana Ratsadon ( People 's Party ) carried out a bloodless revolution which ended the absolute rule . The politics of Thailand is conducted within the framework of a constitutional monarchy , whereby the Prime Minister is the head of government and a hereditary monarch is head of state . The judiciary is supposed to be independent of the executive and the legislative branches , although judicial rulings are suspected of being based on political considerations rather than on existing law . However , since May 2014 , Thailand has been ruled by a military junta , the National Council for Peace and Order . Bangkok 's Democracy Monument : a representation of the 1932 Constitution sits on top of two golden offering bowls above a turret . Thailand has had 20 constitutions and charters since 1932 , including the latest and current 2017 Constitution . Throughout this time , the form of government has ranged from military dictatorship to electoral democracy , but all governments have acknowledged a hereditary monarch as the head of state . Thailand have had the 4th most coups in the world . `` Uniformed or ex-military men have led Thailand for 55 of the 83 years '' between 1932 and 2009 . The legislative according to 2007 Constitution was the bicameral National Assembly composed of the Senate , the 150 - member upper house , and House of Representatives , the 350 - member lower house . Since 2014 coup , it was replaced by a rubber stamp , unicameral National Legislative Assembly . The current King of Thailand is Vajiralongkorn ( or Rama X ) since October 2016 . Under the constitution the king is given very little power , but remains a figurehead and symbol of the Thai nation . As the head of state , however , he is given some powers and has a role to play in the workings of government . According to the constitution , the king is head of the armed forces . He is required to be Buddhist as well as the defender of all faiths in the country . The king also retained some traditional powers such as the power to appoint his heirs , the power to grant pardons , and the royal assent . The king is aided in his duties by the Privy Council of Thailand . Since the 2000s , two political parties dominated Thai general elections : one was Pheu Thai Party ( which was a successor of People 's Power Party and Thai Rak Thai Party respectively ) and the other was Democrat Party . The political parties which support Thaksin Shinawatra won the most representatives every general election since 2001 . Human Rights See also : Human rights in Thailand and Lèse majesté in Thailand The 2007 constitution was partially abrogated by the military dictatorship that came to power in May 2014 . Thailand 's kings are protected by lèse - majesté laws which allows critics to be jailed for three to fifteen years . After the 2014 Thai coup d'état , Thailand had the highest number of lèse - majesté prisoners in the nation 's history . In 2017 , the military court in Thailand sentenced a man to 35 years in prison for violating the country 's lèse - majesté law . Thailand has been rated not free on the Freedom House Index since 2014 . Geography Main article : Geography of Thailand View of the Luang Prabang Range , which straddles the Thai - Lao border , in Nan Province , Northern Thailand Totalling 513,120 square kilometres ( 198,120 sq mi ) , Thailand is the 50th - largest country by total area . It is slightly smaller than Yemen and slightly larger than Spain . Thailand comprises several distinct geographic regions , partly corresponding to the provincial groups . The north of the country is the mountainous area of the Thai highlands , with the highest point being Doi Inthanon in the Thanon Thong Chai Range at 2,565 metres ( 8,415 ft ) above sea level . The northeast , Isan , consists of the Khorat Plateau , bordered to the east by the Mekong River . The centre of the country is dominated by the predominantly flat Chao Phraya river valley , which runs into the Gulf of Thailand . A typical limestone island in Thailand Southern Thailand consists of the narrow Kra Isthmus that widens into the Malay Peninsula . Politically , there are six geographical regions which differ from the others in population , basic resources , natural features , and level of social and economic development . The diversity of the regions is the most pronounced attribute of Thailand 's physical setting . The Chao Phraya and the Mekong River are the indispensable water courses of rural Thailand . Industrial scale production of crops use both rivers and their tributaries . The Gulf of Thailand covers 320,000 square kilometres ( 124,000 sq mi ) and is fed by the Chao Phraya , Mae Klong , Bang Pakong , and Tapi Rivers . It contributes to the tourism sector owing to its clear shallow waters along the coasts in the southern region and the Kra Isthmus . The eastern shore of the Gulf of Thailand is an industrial centre of Thailand with the kingdom 's premier deepwater port in Sattahip and its busiest commercial port , Laem Chabang . Phi Phi Islands The Andaman Sea is a precious natural resource as it hosts the most popular and luxurious resorts in Asia . Phuket , Krabi , Ranong , Phang Nga and Trang , and their islands , all lay along the coasts of the Andaman Sea and , despite the 2004 tsunami , they remain a tourist magnet for visitors from around the world . Plans have resurfaced for a canal which would connect the Andaman Sea to the Gulf of Thailand , analogous to the Suez and the Panama Canals . The idea has been greeted positively by Thai politicians as it would cut fees charged by the Ports of Singapore , improve ties with China and India , lower shipping times , and eliminate pirate attacks in the Strait of Malacca , and support the Thai government 's policy of being the logistical hub for Southeast Asia . The canal , it is claimed , would improve economic conditions in the south of Thailand , which relies heavily on tourism income , and it would also change the structure of the Thai economy by making it an Asia logistical hub . The canal would be a major engineering project and has an expected cost of US $20 -- 30 billion . Climate Thailand map of Köppen climate classification Thailand 's climate is influenced by monsoon winds that have a seasonal character ( the southwest and northeast monsoon ) . The southwest monsoon , which starts from May until October is characterized by movement of warm , moist air from the Indian Ocean to Thailand , causing abundant rain over most of the country . The northeast monsoon , starting from October until February brings cold and dry air from China over most of Thailand . In southern Thailand , the northeast monsoon brings mild weather and abundant rainfall on the eastern coast of that region . Most of Thailand has a `` tropical wet and dry or savanna climate '' type ( Köppen 's Tropical savanna climate ) . The south and the eastern tip of the east have a tropical monsoon climate . Satellite image of flooding in Thailand , Oct 2011 during the 2011 Thailand floods Thailand is divided into three seasons . The first is the rainy or southwest monsoon season ( mid -- May to mid -- October ) which prevails over most of the country . This season is characterized by abundant rain with August and September being the wettest period of the year . This can occasionally lead to floods . In addition to rainfall caused by the southwest monsoon , the Intertropical Convergence Zone ( ITCZ ) and tropical cyclones also contribute to producing heavy rainfall during the rainy season . Nonetheless , dry spells commonly occur for 1 to 2 weeks from June to early July . This is due to the northward movement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone to southern China . Winter or the northeast monsoon starts from mid -- October until mid -- February . Most of Thailand experiences dry weather during this season with mild temperatures . The exception is the southern parts of Thailand where it receives abundant rainfall , particularly during October to November . Summer or the pre -- monsoon season runs from mid -- February until mid -- May and is characterized by warmer weather . Due to its inland nature and latitude , the north , northeast , central and eastern parts of Thailand experience a long period of warm weather . During the hottest time of the year ( March to May ) , temperatures usually reach up to 40 ° C ( 104 ° F ) or more with the exception of coastal areas where sea breezes moderate afternoon temperatures . In contrast , outbreaks of cold air from China can bring colder temperatures ; in some cases ( particularly the north and northeast ) close to or below 0 ° C ( 32 ° F ) . Southern Thailand is characterized by mild weather year - round with less diurnal and seasonal variations in temperatures due to maritime influences . Most of the country receives a mean annual rainfall of 1,200 to 1,600 mm ( 47 to 63 in ) . However , certain areas on the windward sides of mountains such as Ranong province in the west coast of southern Thailand and eastern parts of Trat Province receive more than 4,500 mm ( 180 in ) of rainfall per year . The driest areas are on the leeward side in the central valleys and northernmost portion of south Thailand where mean annual rainfall is less than 1,200 mm ( 47 in ) . Most of Thailand ( north , northeast , central and east ) is characterized by dry weather during the northeast monsoon and abundant rainfall during the southwest monsoon . In the southern parts of Thailand , abundant rainfall occurs in both the northeast and southwest monsoon seasons with a peak in September for the western coast and a peak in November -- January on the eastern coast . Environment Recently cleared forest land in Chiang Mai Province Thailand has a mediocre but improving performance in the global Environmental Performance Index ( EPI ) with an overall ranking of 91 out of 180 countries in 2016 . This is also a mediocre rank in the Asia Pacific region specifically , but ahead of countries like Indonesia and China . The EPI was established in 2001 by the World Economic Forum as a global gauge to measure how well individual countries perform in implementing the United Nations ' Sustainable Development Goals . The environmental areas where Thailand performs worst ( i.e. highest ranking ) are air quality ( 167 ) , environmental effects of the agricultural industry ( 106 ) and the climate and energy sector ( 93 ) , the later mainly because of a high CO2 emission per KWh produced . Thailand performs best ( i.e. lowest ranking ) in water resource management ( 66 ) , with some major improvements expected for the future too , and sanitation ( 68 ) . Wildlife Main article : List of species native to Thailand The population of Asian elephants in Thailand 's wild has dropped to an estimated 2,000 -- 3,000 . The elephant is Thailand 's national symbol . Although there were 100,000 domesticated elephants in Thailand in 1850 , the population of elephants has dropped to an estimated 2,000 . Poachers have long hunted elephants for ivory and hides , and now increasingly for meat . Young elephants are often captured for use in tourist attractions or as work animals , although their use has declined since the government banned logging in 1989 . There are now more elephants in captivity than in the wild , and environmental activists claim that elephants in captivity are often mistreated . Poaching of protected species remains a major problem . Hunters have decimated the populations of tigers , leopards , and other large cats for their valuable pelts . Many animals ( including tigers , bears , crocodiles , and king cobras ) are farmed or hunted for their meat , which is considered a delicacy , and for their supposed medicinal properties . Although such trade is illegal , the famous Bangkok market Chatuchak is still known for the sale of endangered species . The practice of keeping wild animals as pets threatens several species . Baby animals are typically captured and sold , which often requires killing the mother . Once in captivity and out of their natural habitat , many pets die or fail to reproduce . Affected populations include the Asiatic black bear , Malayan sun bear , white - handed lar , pileated gibbon and binturong . Administrative divisions Main articles : Organization of the government of Thailand and Provinces of Thailand Thailand is divided into 76 provinces ( จังหวัด , changwat ) , which are gathered into five groups of provinces by location . There are also two specially - governed districts : the capital Bangkok ( Krung Thep Maha Nakhon ) and Pattaya . Bangkok is at provincial level and thus often counted as a province . Each province is divided into districts and the districts are further divided into sub-districts ( tambons ) . As of 2017 there were 878 districts ( อําเภอ , amphoe ) and the 50 districts of Bangkok ( เขต , khet ) , which is further divided into 7,255 subdistricts ( ตําบล , tambon ) in the 76 provinces or Bangkok 's subdistricts ( แขวง , khwaeng ) . Some parts of the provinces bordering Bangkok are also referred to as Greater Bangkok ( ปริมณฑล , pari monthon ) . These provinces include Nonthaburi , Pathum Thani , Samut Prakan , Nakhon Pathom and Samut Sakhon . The name of each province 's capital city ( เมือง , mueang ) is the same as that of the province . For example , the capital of Chiang Mai Province ( Changwat Chiang Mai ) is Mueang Chiang Mai or Chiang Mai . A clickable map of Thailand exhibiting its provinces . Regions Thailand four - region division Main article : Regions of Thailand Thai provinces are administrated by regions . The regions that Thailand uses to divide the provinces is the four - region division system . It divides the country into the four regions : Northern Thailand , Northeastern Thailand , Central Thailand and Southern Thailand . Each region has its own different historical background , culture , language and people . In contrast to the administrative divisions of the Provinces of Thailand , Thailand is a Unitary state , the provincial Governors , district chiefs , and district clerks are appointed by the central government . The regions themselves do not have an administrative character , but are used for geographical , statistical , geological , meteorological or touristic purposes . Southern region See also : South Thailand insurgency Southern provinces of Thailand showing the Malay - Muslim majority areas Thailand controlled the Malay Peninsula as far south as Malacca in the 15th century and held much of the peninsula , including Temasek ( Singapore ) , some of the Andaman Islands , and a colony on Java , but eventually contracted when the British used force to guarantee their suzerainty over the sultanate . Mostly the northern states of the Malay Sultanate presented annual gifts to the Thai king in the form of a golden flower -- a gesture of tribute and an acknowledgement of vassalage . The British intervened in the Malay State and with the Anglo - Siamese Treaty tried to build a railway from the south to Bangkok . Thailand relinquished sovereignty over what are now the northern Malay provinces of Kedah , Perlis , Kelantan , and Terengganu to the British . Satun and Pattani Provinces were given to Thailand . The Malay peninsular provinces were occupied by the Japanese during World War II , and infiltrated by the Malayan Communist Party ( CPM ) from 1942 to 2008 , when they sued for peace with the Malaysian and Thai governments after the CPM lost its support from Vietnam and China subsequent to the Cultural Revolution . Recent insurgent uprisings may be a continuation of separatist fighting which started after World War II with Sukarno 's support for the PULO . Most victims since the uprisings have been Buddhist and Muslim bystanders . Foreign relations Main article : Foreign relations of Thailand King Bhumibol Adulyadej in a meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama , 18 November 2012 Royal Thai Embassy in Wellington , New Zealand The foreign relations of Thailand are handled by the Minister of Foreign Affairs . Thailand participates fully in international and regional organisations . It is a major non-NATO ally and Priority Watch List Special 301 Report of the United States . The country remains an active member of ASEAN Association of Southeast Asian Nations . Thailand has developed increasingly close ties with other ASEAN members : Indonesia , Malaysia , the Philippines , Singapore , Brunei , Laos , Cambodia , Myanmar , and Vietnam , whose foreign and economic ministers hold annual meetings . Regional co-operation is progressing in economic , trade , banking , political , and cultural matters . In 2003 , Thailand served as APEC ( Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation ) host . Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi , the former Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand , currently serves as Secretary - General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development ( UNCTAD ) . In 2005 Thailand attended the inaugural East Asia Summit . In recent years , Thailand has taken an increasingly active role on the international stage . When East Timor gained independence from Indonesia , Thailand , for the first time in its history , contributed troops to the international peacekeeping effort . Its troops remain there today as part of a UN peacekeeping force . As part of its effort to increase international ties , Thailand has reached out to such regional organisations as the Organization of American States ( OAS ) and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe ( OSCE ) . Thailand has contributed troops to reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq . Thaksin initiated negotiations for several free trade agreements with China , Australia , Bahrain , India , and the US . The latter especially was criticised , with claims that uncompetitive Thai industries could be wiped out . Thaksin also announced that Thailand would forsake foreign aid , and work with donor countries to assist in the development of neighbours in the Greater Mekong Sub-region . Thaksin sought to position Thailand as a regional leader , initiating various development projects in poorer neighbouring countries like Laos . More controversially , he established close , friendly ties with the Burmese dictatorship . Thailand joined the US - led invasion of Iraq , sending a 423 - strong humanitarian contingent . It withdrew its troops on 10 September 2004 . Two Thai soldiers died in Iraq in an insurgent attack . Abhisit appointed Peoples Alliance for Democracy leader Kasit Piromya as foreign minister . In April 2009 , fighting broke out between Thai and Cambodian troops on territory immediately adjacent to the 900 - year - old ruins of Cambodia 's Preah Vihear Hindu temple near the border . The Cambodian government claimed its army had killed at least four Thais and captured 10 more , although the Thai government denied that any Thai soldiers were killed or injured . Two Cambodian and three Thai soldiers were killed . Both armies blamed the other for firing first and denied entering the other 's territory . Armed forces Main article : Royal Thai Armed Forces The HTMS Chakri Naruebet , an aircraft carrier of the Royal Thai Navy A Royal Thai Air Force F - 16 Fighting Falcon The Royal Thai Armed Forces ( กองทัพ ไทย ; RTGS : Kong Thap Thai ) constitute the military of the Kingdom of Thailand . It consists of the Royal Thai Army ( กองทัพ บก ไทย ) , the Royal Thai Navy ( กองทัพ เรือ ไทย ) , and the Royal Thai Air Force ( กองทัพ อากาศ ไทย ) . It also incorporates various paramilitary forces . The Thai Armed Forces have a combined manpower of 306,000 active duty personnel and another 245,000 active reserve personnel . The head of the Thai Armed Forces ( จอมทัพ ไทย , Chom Thap Thai ) is the king , although this position is only nominal . The armed forces are managed by the Ministry of Defence of Thailand , which is headed by the Minister of Defence ( a member of the cabinet of Thailand ) and commanded by the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters , which in turn is headed by the Chief of Defence Forces of Thailand . In 2011 , Thailand 's known military expenditure totalled approximately US $5.1 billion . Thailand ranked 16th worldwide in the Military Strength Index based on the Credit Suisse report in September 2015 . Royal Thai Army firing M198 howitzer during training According to the constitution , serving in the armed forces is a duty of all Thai citizens . However , only males over the age of 21 , who have not gone through reserve training of the Territorial Defence Student , are given the option of volunteering for the armed forces , or participating in the random draft . The candidates are subjected to varying lengths of training , from six months to two years of full - time service , depending on their education , whether they have partially completed the reserve training course , and whether they volunteered prior to the draft date ( usually 1 April every year ) . Candidates with a recognised bachelor 's degree serve one year of full - time service if they are conscripted , or six months if they volunteer with the military officer at their district office ( สัสดี , satsadi ) . Likewise , the training length is also reduced for those who have partially completed the three - year reserve training course of the Territorial Defence Students ( ร. ด. , ro do ) . A person who completed one year out of three will only have to serve full - time for one year . Those who completed two years of reserve training will only have to do six months of full - time training , while those who complete three years or more of reserve training will be exempted entirely . Royal Thai Armed Forces Day is celebrated on 18 January , commemorating the victory of Naresuan of the Ayutthaya Kingdom in battle against the crown prince of the Taungoo Dynasty in 1593 . Education Main article : Education in Thailand Primary - school students in Thailand In 2014 the literacy rate was 93.5 % . Education is provided by a well - organized school system of kindergartens , primary , lower secondary and upper secondary schools , numerous vocational colleges , and universities . The private sector of education is well developed and significantly contributes to the overall provision of education which the government would not be able to meet with public establishments . Education is compulsory up to and including age 14 , with the government providing free education through to age 17 . Chulalongkorn University , established in 1917 , is the oldest university in Thailand . Teaching relies heavily on rote learning rather than on student - centred methodology . The establishment of reliable and coherent curricula for its primary and secondary schools is subject to such rapid changes that schools and their teachers are not always sure what they are supposed to be teaching , and authors and publishers of textbooks are unable to write and print new editions quickly enough to keep up with the volatility . Issues concerning university entrance has been in constant upheaval for a number of years . Nevertheless , Thai education has seen its greatest progress in the years since 2001 . Most of the present generation of students are computer literate . Thailand was ranked 54th out of 56 countries globally for English proficiency , the second - lowest in Asia . Students in ethnic minority areas score consistently lower in standardised national and international tests . This is likely due to unequal allocation of educational resources , weak teacher training , poverty , and low Thai language skill , the language of the tests . Extensive nationwide IQ tests were administered to 72,780 Thai students from December 2010 to January 2011 . The average IQ was found to be 98.59 , which is higher than previous studies have found . IQ levels were found to be inconsistent throughout the country , with the lowest average of 88.07 found in the southern region of Narathiwat Province and the highest average of 108.91 reported in Nonthaburi Province . The Ministry of Public Health blames the discrepancies on iodine deficiency and steps are being taken to require that iodine be added to table salt , a practice common in many Western countries . In 2013 , the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology announced that 27,231 schools would receive classroom - level access to high - speed internet . Science and Technology Main article : List of Thai inventions and discoveries The National Science and Technology Development Agency is an agency of the government of Thailand which supports research in science and technology and its application in the Thai economy . The Synchrotron Light Research Institute ( SLRI ) is a Thai synchrotron light source for physics , chemistry , material science , and life sciences . It is at the Suranaree University of Technology ( SUT ) , in Nakhon Ratchasima , about 300 kilometres ( 190 miles ) northeast of Bangkok . The institute , financed by the Ministry of Science and Technology ( MOST ) , houses the only large scale synchrotron in Southeast Asia . It was originally built as the SORTEC synchrotron in Japan and later moved to Thailand and modified for 1.2 GeV operation . It provides users with regularly scheduled light . Internet In Bangkok , there are 23,000 free public Wi - Fi Internet hotspots . The Internet in Thailand includes 10 Gbit / s high speed fibre - optic lines that can be leased and ISPs such as KIRZ that provide residential Internet services . The Internet is censored by the Thai government , making some sites unreachable . The organisations responsible are the Royal Thai Police , the Communications Authority of Thailand , and the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology ( MICT ) . Economy Main article : Economy of Thailand Economic indicators Nominal GDP ฿ 14.53 trillion ( 2016 ) GDP growth 3.9 % ( 2017 ) Inflation Headline Core 0.7 % ( 2017 ) 0.6 % ( 2017 ) Employment - to - population ratio 68.0 % ( 2017 ) Unemployment 1.2 % ( 2017 ) Total public debt ฿ 6.37 trillion ( Dec. 2017 ) Poverty 8.61 % ( 2016 ) Net household worth ฿ 20.34 trillion ( 2010 ) Thailand is an emerging economy and is considered a newly industrialised country . Thailand had a 2013 GDP of US $673 billion ( on a purchasing power parity ( PPP ) basis ) . Thailand is the 2nd largest economy in Southeast Asia after Indonesia . Thailand ranks midway in the wealth spread in Southeast Asia as it is the 4th richest nation according to GDP per capita , after Singapore , Brunei , and Malaysia . Thailand functions as an anchor economy for the neighbouring developing economies of Laos , Myanmar , and Cambodia . In the third quarter of 2014 , the unemployment rate in Thailand stood at 0.84 % according to Thailand 's National Economic and Social Development Board ( NESDB ) . Recent economic History The MahaNakhon skyscraper in Bangkok Thailand experienced the world 's highest economic growth rate from 1985 to 1996 -- averaging 12.4 % annually . In 1997 increased pressure on the baht , a year in which the economy contracted by 1.9 % , led to a crisis that uncovered financial sector weaknesses and forced the Chavalit Yongchaiyudh administration to float the currency . Prime Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh was forced to resign after his cabinet came under fire for its slow response to the economic crisis . The baht was pegged at 25 to the US dollar from 1978 to 1997 . The baht reached its lowest point of 56 to the US dollar in January 1998 and the economy contracted by 10.8 % that year , triggering the Asian financial crisis . Thailand 's economy started to recover in 1999 , expanding 4.2 -- 4.4 % in 2000 , thanks largely to strong exports . Growth ( 2.2 % ) was dampened by the softening of the global economy in 2001 , but picked up in the subsequent years owing to strong growth in Asia , a relatively weak baht encouraging exports , and increased domestic spending as a result of several mega projects and incentives of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra , known as Thaksinomics . Growth in 2002 , 2003 , and 2004 was 5 -- 7 % annually . The BTS Skytrain passes through Sathon , the business district of Bangkok , the capital of Thailand and the country 's largest commercial and financial centre . Growth in 2005 , 2006 , and 2007 hovered around 4 -- 5 % . Due both to the weakening of the US dollar and an increasingly strong Thai currency , by March 2008 the dollar was hovering around the 33 baht mark . While Thaksinomics has received criticism , official economic data reveals that between 2001 and 2011 , Isan 's GDP per capita more than doubled to US $1,475 , while , over the same period , GDP in the Bangkok area increased from US $7,900 to nearly US $13,000 . With the instability surrounding major 2010 protests , the GDP growth of Thailand settled at around 4 -- 5 % , from highs of 5 -- 7 % under the previous civilian administration . Political uncertainty was identified as the primary cause of a decline in investor and consumer confidence . The IMF predicted that the Thai economy would rebound strongly from the low 0.1 % GDP growth in 2011 , to 5.5 % in 2012 and then 7.5 % in 2013 , due to the monetary policy of the Bank of Thailand , as well as a package of fiscal stimulus measures introduced by the former Yingluck Shinawatra government . Following the Thai military coup of 22 May 2014 , the AFP global news agency published an article that claimed that the nation was on the verge of recession . The article focused on the departure of nearly 180,000 Cambodians from Thailand due to fears of an immigration clampdown , but concluded with information on the Thai economy 's contraction of 2.1 % quarter - on - quarter , from January to the end of March 2014 . Income , poverty and wealth Thais have median wealth per one adult person of $1,469 in 2016 , increasing from $605 in 2010 . In 2016 , Thailand was ranked 87th in Human Development Index , and 70th in the inequality - adjusted HDI . In 2017 , median household income was ฿ 26,946 per month . Top quintile household had 45.0 % share of all income , while bottom quintile household had 7.1 % . There were 26.9 million persons who had the bottom 40 % of income earning less than ฿ 5,344 per person per month . During 2013 -- 2014 Thai political crisis , a survey found that anti-government PDRC mostly ( 32 % ) had a monthly income of more than ฿ 50,000 , while pro-government UDD mostly ( 27 % ) had between ฿ 10,000 and ฿ 20,000 . In 2014 , Credit Suisse reported that Thailand was the world 's third most unequal country , behind Russia and India . Top 10 % richest held 79 % of the country 's asset . Top 1 % richest held 58 % worth of the economy . Thai 50 richest families had a total net worth accounting to 30 % of GDP . In 2016 , Thailand 's 5.81 million people lived in poverty , or 11.6 million people ( 17.2 % of population ) if `` near poor '' is included . Proportion of the poor relative to total population in each region was 12.96 % in the Northeast , 12.35 % in the South , and 9.83 % in the North . In 2017 , there were 14 million people who applied for social welfare ( yearly income of less than ฿ 100,000 was required ) . At the end of 2017 , Thailand 's total household debt was ฿ 11.76 trillion . In 2010 , 3 % of all household were bankrupt . In 2016 , there were estimated 30,000 homeless persons in the country . Exports and manufacturing A proportional representation of Thailand 's exports The economy of Thailand is heavily export - dependent , with exports accounting for more than two - thirds of gross domestic product ( GDP ) . Thailand exports over US $105 billion worth of goods and services annually . Major exports include cars , computers , electrical appliances , rice , textiles and footwear , fishery products , rubber , and jewellery . Substantial industries include electric appliances , components , computer components , and vehicles . Thailand 's recovery from the 1997 -- 1998 Asian financial crisis depended mainly on exports , among various other factors . As of 2012 , the Thai automotive industry was the largest in Southeast Asia and the 9th largest in the world . The Thailand industry has an annual output of near 1.5 million vehicles , mostly commercial vehicles . Most of the vehicles built in Thailand are developed and licensed by foreign producers , mainly Japanese and South Korean . The Thai car industry takes advantage of the ASEAN Free Trade Area ( AFTA ) to find a market for many of its products . Eight manufacturers , five Japanese , two US , and Tata of India , produce pick - up trucks in Thailand . Thailand is the second largest consumer of pick - up trucks in the world , after the US . In 2014 , pick - ups accounted for 42 % of all new vehicle sales in Thailand . Tourism Further information : Tourism in Thailand Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok An Airbus A380 of the national carrier Thai Airways Tourism makes up about 6 % of the economy . Thailand was the most visited country in Southeast Asia in 2013 , according to the World Tourism Organisation . Estimates of tourism receipts directly contributing to the Thai GDP of 12 trillion baht range from 9 percent ( 1 trillion baht ) ( 2013 ) to 16 percent . When including the indirect effects of tourism , it is said to account for 20.2 percent ( 2.4 trillion baht ) of Thailand 's GDP . The Tourism Authority of Thailand ( TAT ) uses the slogan `` Amazing Thailand '' to promote Thailand internationally . In 2015 , this was supplemented by a `` Discover Thainess '' campaign . Asian tourists primarily visit Thailand for Bangkok and the historical , natural , and cultural sights in its vicinity . Western tourists not only visit Bangkok and surroundings , but in addition many travel to the southern beaches and islands . The north is the chief destination for trekking and adventure travel with its diverse ethnic minority groups and forested mountains . The region hosting the fewest tourists is Isan in the northeast . To accommodate foreign visitors , the Thai government established a separate tourism police with offices in the major tourist areas and its own central emergency telephone number . Thailand 's attractions include diving , sandy beaches , hundreds of tropical islands , nightlife , archaeological sites , museums , hill tribes , flora and bird life , palaces , Buddhist temples and several World Heritage sites . Many tourists follow courses during their stay in Thailand . Popular are classes in Thai cooking , Buddhism and traditional Thai massage . Thai national festivals range from Thai New Year Songkran to Loy Krathong . Many localities in Thailand also have their own festivals . Among the best - known are the `` Elephant Round - up '' in Surin , the `` Rocket Festival '' in Yasothon , Suwannaphum District , Phanom Phrai District both district are located in Roi Et Province and the `` Phi Ta Khon '' festival in Dan Sai . Thai cuisine has become famous worldwide with its enthusiastic use of fresh herbs and spices . Bangkok shopping malls offer a variety of international and local brands . Towards the north of the city , and easily reached by skytrain or underground , is the Chatuchak Weekend Market . It is possibly the largest market in the world , selling everything from household items to live , and sometimes endangered , animals . The `` Pratunam Market '' specialises in fabrics and clothing . The night markets in the Silom area and on Khaosan Road are mainly tourist - oriented , selling items such as T - shirts , handicrafts , counterfeit watches and sunglasses . In the vicinity of Bangkok one can find several floating markets such as the one in Damnoen Saduak . The `` Sunday Evening Walking Street Market '' , held on Rachadamnoen Road inside the old city , is a shopping highlight of a visit to Chiang Mai up in northern Thailand . It attracts many locals as well as foreigners . The `` Night Bazaar '' is Chiang Mai 's more tourist - oriented market , sprawling over several city blocks just east of the old city walls towards the river . Prostitution in Thailand and sex tourism also form a de facto part of the economy . Campaigns promote Thailand as exotic to attract tourists . Cultural milieu combined with poverty and the lure of money have caused prostitution and sex tourism in particular to flourish in Thailand . One estimate published in 2003 placed the trade at US $4.3 billion per year or about 3 % of the Thai economy . According to research by Chulalongkorn University on the Thai illegal economy , prostitution in Thailand in the period between 1993 and 1995 , made up around 2.7 % of the GDP . It is believed that at least 10 % of tourist dollars are spent on the sex trade . Thailand is at the forefront of the growing practice of sex - reassignment surgery ( SRS ) . Statistic taken from 2014 , illustrated the country 's medical tourism industry attracting over 2.5 million visitors per year . In 1985 -- 1990 , only 5 % of foreign transsexual patients visited Thailand for sex - reassignment surgery . In more recent years , 2010 -- 2012 , more than 90 % of the visitors traveled to Thailand for SRS . Agriculture Further information : Agriculture in Thailand Thailand had long been one of the largest rice exporters in the world . Forty - nine percent of Thailand 's labour force is employed in agriculture . Forty - nine per cent of Thailand 's labour force is employed in agriculture . This is down from 70 % in 1980 . Rice is the most important crop in the country and Thailand had long been the world 's leading exporter of rice , until recently falling behind both India and Vietnam . Thailand has the highest percentage of arable land , 27.25 % , of any nation in the Greater Mekong Subregion . About 55 % of the arable land area is used for rice production . Agriculture has been experiencing a transition from labour - intensive and transitional methods to a more industrialised and competitive sector . Between 1962 and 1983 , the agricultural sector grew by 4.1 % per year on average and continued to grow at 2.2 % between 1983 and 2007 . The relative contribution of agriculture to GDP has declined while exports of goods and services have increased . Energy Further information : Energy in Thailand 75 % of Thailand 's electrical generation is powered by natural gas in 2014 . Coal - fired power plants produce an additional 20 % of electricity , with the remainder coming from biomass , hydro , and biogas . Thailand produces roughly one - third of the oil it consumes . It is the second largest importer of oil in SE Asia . Thailand is a large producer of natural gas , with reserves of at least 10 trillion cubic feet . After Indonesia , it is the largest coal producer in SE Asia , but must import additional coal to meet domestic demand . Transportation Main articles : Transport in Thailand and List of airports in Thailand Informal economy Thailand has an diverse and robust informal labor sector -- in 2012 , it was estimated that informal workers comprised 62.6 % of the Thai workforce . The Ministry of Labor defines informal workers to be individuals who work in informal economies and do not have employee status under a given country 's Labor Protection Act ( LPA ) . The informal sector in Thailand has grown significantly over the past 60 years over the course of Thailand 's gradual transition from an agriculture - based economy to becoming more industrialized and service - oriented . Between 1993 -- 1995 , ten percent of the Thai labor force moved from the agricultural sector to urban and industrial jobs , especially in the manufacturing sector . It is estimated that between 1988 -- 1995 , the number of factory workers in the country doubled from two to four million , as Thailand 's GDP tripled . While the Asian Financial Crisis that followed in 1997 hit the Thai economy hard , the industrial sector continued to expand under widespread deregulation , as Thailand was mandated to adopt a range of structural adjustment reforms upon receiving funding from the IMF and World Bank . These reforms implemented an agenda of increased privatization and trade liberalization in the country , and decreased federal subsidization of public goods and utilities , agricultural price supports , and regulations on fair wages and labor conditions . These changes put further pressure on the agricultural sector , and prompted continued migration from the rural countryside to the growing cities . Many migrant farmers found work in Thailand 's growing manufacturing industry , and took jobs in sweatshops and factories with few labor regulations and often exploitative conditions . Those that could not find formal factory work , including illegal migrants and the families of rural Thai migrants that followed their relatives to the urban centers , turned to the informal sector to provide the extra support needed for survival -- under the widespread regulation imposed by the structural adjustment programs , one family member working in a factory or sweatshop made very little . Scholars argue that the economic consequences and social costs of Thailand 's labor reforms in the wake of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis fell on individuals and families rather than the state . This can be described as the `` externalization of market risk '' , meaning that as the country 's labor market became increasingly deregulated , the burden and responsibility of providing an adequate livelihood shifted from employers and the state to the workers themselves , whose families had to find jobs in the informal sector to make up for the losses and subsidize the wages being made by their relatives in the formal sector . The weight of these economic changes hit migrants and the urban poor especially hard , and the informal sector expanded rapidly as a result . Today , informal labor in Thailand is typically broken down into three main groups : subcontracted / self employed / home - based workers , service workers ( including those that are employed in restaurants , as street vendors , masseuses , taxi drivers , and as domestic workers ) , and agricultural workers . Not included in these categories are those that work in entertainment , nightlife , and the sex industry . Individuals employed in these facets of the informal labor sector face additional vulnerabilities , including recruitment into circles of sexual exploitation and human trafficking . In general , education levels are low in the informal sector . A 2012 study found that 64 % of informal workers had not completed education beyond primary school . Many informal workers are also migrants , only some of which have legal status in the country . Education and citizenship are two main barriers to entry for those looking to work in formal industries , and enjoy the labor protections and social security benefits that come along with formal employment . Because the informal labor sector is not recognized under the Labor Protection Act ( LPA ) , informal workers are much more vulnerable labor to exploitation and unsafe working conditions than those employed in more formal and federally recognized industries . While some Thai labor laws provide minimal protections to domestic and agricultural workers , they are often weak and difficult to enforce . Furthermore , Thai social security policies fail to protect against the risks many informal workers face , including workplace accidents and compensation as well as unemployment and retirement insurance . Many informal workers are not legally contracted for their employment , and many do not make a living wage . As a result , labor trafficking is common in the region , affecting children and adults , men and women , and migrants and Thai citizens alike . Demographics Main article : Demographics of Thailand Population pyramid 2016 Population in Thailand Year Million 1950 20.7 2000 62.9 2016 68.9 Thailand had a population of 68,863,514 as of 2016 . Thailand 's population is largely rural , concentrated in the rice - growing areas of the central , northeastern , and northern regions . Thailand had an urban population of 45.7 % as of 2010 , concentrated mostly in and around the Bangkok Metropolitan Area . Thailand 's government - sponsored family planning program resulted in a dramatic decline in population growth from 3.1 % in 1960 to around 0.4 % today . In 1970 , an average of 5.7 people lived in a Thai household . At the time of the 2010 census , the average Thai household size was 3.2 people . Ethnic groups Further information : Ethnic groups in Thailand A procession during the Hae Pha Khuen That festival of Wat Phra Mahathat Hmong people in Thailand Thai nationals make up the majority of Thailand 's population , 95.9 % in 2010 . The remaining 4.1 % of the population are Burmese ( 2.0 % ) , others 1.3 % , and unspecified 0.9 % . According to the Royal Thai Government 's 2011 Country Report to the UN Committee responsible for the International Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination , available from the Department of Rights and Liberties Promotion of the Thai Ministry of Justice , 62 ethnic communities are officially recognised in Thailand . Twenty million Central Thai ( together with approximately 650,000 Khorat Thai ) make up approximately 20,650,000 ( 34.1 percent ) of the nation 's population of 60,544,937 at the time of completion of the Mahidol University Ethnolinguistic Maps of Thailand data ( 1997 ) . The 2011 Thailand Country Report provides population numbers for mountain peoples ( ' hill tribes ' ) and ethnic communities in the Northeast and is explicit about its main reliance on the Mahidol University Ethnolinguistic Maps of Thailand data . Thus , though over 3.288 million people in the Northeast alone could not be categorised , the population and percentages of other ethnic communities circa 1997 are known for all of Thailand and constitute minimum populations . In descending order , the largest ( equal to or greater than 400,000 ) are a ) 15,080,000 Lao ( 24.9 percent ) consisting of the Thai Lao ( 14 million ) and other smaller Lao groups , namely the Thai Loei ( 400 -- 500,000 ) , Lao Lom ( 350,000 ) , Lao Wiang / Klang ( 200,000 ) , Lao Khrang ( 90,000 ) , Lao Ngaew ( 30,000 ) , and Lao Ti ( 10,000 ; b ) six million Khon Muang ( 9.9 percent , also called Northern Thais ) ; c ) 4.5 million Pak Tai ( 7.5 percent , also called Southern Thais ) ; d ) 1.4 million Khmer Leu ( 2.3 percent , also called Northern Khmer ) ; e ) 900,000 Malay ( 1.5 % ) ; f ) 500,000 Ngaw ( 0.8 percent ) ; g ) 470,000 Phu Thai ( 0.8 percent ) ; h ) 400,000 Kuy / Kuay ( also known as Suay ) ( 0.7 percent ) , and i ) 350,000 Karen ( 0.6 percent ) . Thai Chinese , those of significant Chinese heritage , are 14 % of the population , while Thais with partial Chinese ancestry comprise up to 40 % of the population . Thai Malays represent 3 % of the population , with the remainder consisting of Mons , Khmers and various `` hill tribes '' . The country 's official language is Thai and the primary religion is Theravada Buddhism , which is practised by around 95 % of the population . Increasing numbers of migrants from neighbouring Myanmar , Laos , and Cambodia , as well as from Nepal and India , have pushed the total number of non-national residents to around 3.5 million as of 2009 , up from an estimated 2 million in 2008 , and about 1.3 million in 2000 . Some 41,000 Britons live in Thailand . Population centres Further information : List of cities in Thailand Largest municipalities in Thailand See template Rank Name Province Pop .

The official language of Thailand is Thai , a Tai -- Kadai language closely related to Lao , Shan in Myanmar , and numerous smaller languages spoken in an arc from Hainan and Yunnan south to the Chinese border . It is the principal language of education and government and spoken throughout the country . The standard is based on the dialect of the central Thai people , and it is written in the Thai alphabet , an abugida script that evolved from the Khmer alphabet . Sixty - two languages were recognised by the Royal Thai Government in the 2011 Country Report to the UN Committee responsible for the International Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination , which employed an ethnolinguistic approach and is available from the Department of Rights and Liberties Promotion of the Thai Ministry of Justice . Southern Thai is spoken in the southern provinces , and Northern Thai is spoken in the provinces that were formerly part of the independent kingdom of Lan Na . For the purposes of the national census , which does not recognise all 62 languages recognised by the Royal Thai Government in the 2011 Country Report , four dialects of Thai exist ; these partly coincide with regional designations . The largest of Thailand 's minority languages is the Lao dialect of Isan spoken in the northeastern provinces . Although sometimes considered a Thai dialect , it is a Lao dialect , and the region where it is traditionally spoken was historically part of the Lao kingdom of Lan Xang . In the far south , Kelantan - Pattani Malay is the primary language of Malay Muslims . Varieties of Chinese are also spoken by the large Thai Chinese population , with the Teochew dialect best - represented . Numerous tribal languages are also spoken , including many Austroasiatic languages such as Mon , Khmer , Viet , Mlabri and Orang Asli ; Austronesian languages such as Cham and Moken ; Sino - Tibetan languages like Lawa , Akha , and Karen ; and other Tai languages such as Tai Yo , Phu Thai , and Saek . Hmong is a member of the Hmong -- Mien languages , which is now regarded as a language family of its own . English is a mandatory school subject , but the number of fluent speakers remains low , especially outside cities .

Active participation in Buddhism is among the highest in the world . According to the 2000 census , 94.6 % and 93.58 % in 2010 of the country 's population self - identified as Buddhists of the Theravada tradition . Muslims constitute the second largest religious group in Thailand , comprising 4.9 % of the population . Islam is concentrated mostly in the country 's southernmost provinces : Pattani , Yala , Satun , Narathiwat , and part of Songkhla Chumphon , which are predominantly Malay , most of whom are Sunni Muslims . Christians represent 0.9 % ( 2000 ) and 1.17 % ( 2015 ) of the population , with the remaining population consisting of Hindus and Sikhs , who live mostly in the country 's cities . There is also a small but historically significant Jewish community in Thailand dating back to the 17th century .

Health and medical care is overseen by the Ministry of Public Health ( MOPH ) , along with several other non-ministerial government agencies , with total national expenditures on health amounting to 4.3 percent of GDP in 2009 . Non-communicable diseases form the major burden of morbidity and mortality , while infectious diseases including malaria and tuberculosis , as well as traffic accidents , are also important public health issues . The current Minister for Public Health is Prof. Emeritus Piyasakol Sakolsatayadorn , M.D. and the Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Public Health is Jedsada Chokdamrongsuk , M.D. Somsak Chunharas , MD , MPH , was once Deputy Minister for Public Health and is currently a Senior Leadership Fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston . Culture Main article : Culture of Thailand See also : Music of Thailand , Isan , and Cinema of Thailand Theravada Buddhism , highly practised in Thailand Thai culture has been shaped by many influences , including Indian , Lao , Burmese , Cambodian , and Chinese . Its traditions incorporate a great deal of influence from India , China , Cambodia , and the rest of Southeast Asia . Thailand 's national religion , Theravada Buddhism , is central to modern Thai identity . Thai Buddhism has evolved over time to include many regional beliefs originating from Hinduism , animism , as well as ancestor worship . The official calendar in Thailand is based on the Eastern version of the Buddhist Era ( BE ) , which is 543 years ahead of the Gregorian ( Western ) calendar . Thus the year 2015 is 2558 BE in Thailand . Several different ethnic groups , many of which are marginalised , populate Thailand . Some of these groups spill over into Myanmar , Laos , Cambodia and Malaysia and have mediated change between their traditional local culture , national Thai , and global cultural influences . Overseas Chinese also form a significant part of Thai society , particularly in and around Bangkok . Their successful integration into Thai society has allowed for this group to hold positions of economic and political power . Thai Chinese businesses prosper as part of the larger bamboo network , a network of overseas Chinese businesses operating in the markets of Southeast Asia that share common family and cultural ties . Khon show is the most stylised form of Thai performance . The traditional Thai greeting , the wai , is generally offered first by the younger of the two people meeting , with their hands pressed together , fingertips pointing upwards as the head is bowed to touch face to fingertips , usually coinciding with the spoken words `` sawatdi khrap '' for male speakers , and `` sawatdi kha '' for females . The elder may then respond in the same way . Social status and position , such as in government , will also have an influence on who performs the wai first . For example , although one may be considerably older than a provincial governor , when meeting it is usually the visitor who pays respect first . When children leave to go to school , they are taught to wai their parents to indicate their respect . The wai is a sign of respect and reverence for another , similar to the namaste greeting of India and Nepal . As with other Asian cultures , respect towards ancestors is an essential part of Thai spiritual practice . Thais have a strong sense of hospitality and generosity , but also a strong sense of social hierarchy . Seniority is paramount in Thai culture . Elders have by tradition ruled in family decisions or ceremonies . Older siblings have duties to younger ones . Taboos in Thailand include touching someone 's head or pointing with the feet , as the head is considered the most sacred and the foot the lowest part of the body . Cuisine Further information : Cuisine of Thailand The art of vegetable carving is thought to have originated in the Sukhothai Kingdom nearly 700 years ago Thai cuisine blends five fundamental tastes : sweet , spicy , sour , bitter , and salty . Common ingredients used in Thai cuisine include garlic , chillies , lime juice , lemon grass , coriander , galangal , palm sugar , and fish sauce ( nam pla ) . The staple food in Thailand is rice , particularly jasmine variety rice ( also known as `` hom Mali '' rice ) which forms a part of almost every meal . Thailand was long the world 's largest exporter of rice , and Thais domestically consume over 100 kg of milled rice per person per year . Over 5,000 varieties of rice from Thailand are preserved in the rice gene bank of the International Rice Research Institute ( IRRI ) , based in the Philippines . The king of Thailand is the official patron of IRRI . Media Further information : Media of Thailand Thai society has been influenced in recent years by its widely available multi-language press and media . There are some English and numerous Thai and Chinese newspapers in circulation . Most Thai popular magazines use English headlines as a chic glamour factor . Many large businesses in Bangkok operate in English as well as other languages . Thailand is the largest newspaper market in Southeast Asia with an estimated circulation of over 13 million copies daily in 2003 . Even upcountry , out of Bangkok , the media flourish . For example , according to Thailand 's Public Relations Department Media Directory 2003 -- 2004 , the nineteen provinces of Isan , Thailand 's northeastern region , hosted 116 newspapers along with radio , TV , and cable . Since then , another province , Bueng Kan , was incorporated , totalling twenty provinces . In addition , a military coup on 22 May 2014 led to severe state restrictions on all media and forms of expression . Units of measurement Further information : Thai units of measurement Thailand generally uses the metric system , but traditional units of measurement for land area are used , and imperial units of measurement are occasionally used for building materials , such as wood and plumbing fixtures . Years are numbered as B.E. ( Buddhist Era ) in educational settings , civil service , government , contracts , and newspaper datelines . However , in banking , and increasingly in industry and commerce , standard Western year ( Christian or Common Era ) counting is the standard practice . Sports See also : Thailand at the Olympics , Rugby union in Thailand , Golf in Thailand , Football in Thailand , and List of sporting events held in Thailand Muay Thai , Thailand 's signature sport Muay Thai ( Thai : มวยไทย , RTGS : Muai Thai , ( muaj thaj ) , lit . `` Thai boxing '' ) is a native form of kickboxing and Thailand 's signature sport . It incorporates kicks , punches , knees and elbow strikes in a ring with gloves similar to those used in Western boxing and this has led to Thailand gaining medals at the Olympic Games in boxing . Association football has overtaken muay Thai as the most widely followed sport in contemporary Thai society . Thailand national football team has played the AFC Asian Cup six times and reached the semifinals in 1972 . The country has hosted the Asian Cup twice , in 1972 and in 2007 . The 2007 edition was co-hosted together with Indonesia , Malaysia and Vietnam . It is not uncommon to see Thais cheering their favourite English Premier League teams on television and walking around in replica kit . Another widely enjoyed pastime , and once a competitive sport , is kite flying . Rajamangala National Stadium Volleyball is rapidly growing as one of the most popular sports . The women 's team has often participated in the World Championship , World Cup , and World Grand Prix Asian Championship . They have won the Asian Championship twice and Asian Cup once . By the success of the women 's team , the men team has been growing as well . Takraw ( Thai : ตะกร้อ ) is a sport native to Thailand , in which the players hit a rattan ball and are only allowed to use their feet , knees , chest , and head to touch the ball . Sepak takraw is a form of this sport which is similar to volleyball . The players must volley a ball over a net and force it to hit the ground on the opponent 's side . It is also a popular sport in other countries in Southeast Asia . A rather similar game but played only with the feet is buka ball . Snooker has enjoyed increasing popularity in Thailand in recent years , with interest in the game being stimulated by the success of Thai snooker player James Wattana in the 1990s . Other notable players produced by the country include Ratchayothin Yotharuck , Noppon Saengkham and Dechawat Poomjaeng . Rugby is also a growing sport in Thailand with the Thailand national rugby union team rising to be ranked 61st in the world . Thailand became the first country in the world to host an international 80 welterweight rugby tournament in 2005 . The national domestic Thailand Rugby Union ( TRU ) competition includes several universities and services teams such as Chulalongkorn University , Mahasarakham University , Kasetsart University , Prince of Songkla University , Thammasat University , Rangsit University , the Thai Police , the Thai Army , the Thai Navy and the Royal Thai Air Force . Local sports clubs which also compete in the TRU include the British Club of Bangkok , the Southerners Sports Club ( Bangkok ) and the Royal Bangkok Sports Club . Thailand has been called the golf capital of Asia as it is a popular destination for golf . The country attracts a large number of golfers from Japan , Korea , Singapore , South Africa , and Western countries who come to play golf in Thailand every year . The growing popularity of golf , especially among the middle classes and immigrants , is evident as there are more than 200 world - class golf courses nationwide , and some of them are chosen to host PGA and LPGA tournaments , such as Amata Spring Country Club , Alpine Golf and Sports Club , Thai Country Club , and Black Mountain Golf Club . Basketball is a growing sport in Thailand , especially on the professional sports club level . The Chang Thailand Slammers won the 2011 ASEAN Basketball League Championship . The Thailand national basketball team had its most successful year at the 1966 Asian Games where it won the silver medal . Other sports in Thailand are slowly growing as the country develops its sporting infrastructure . The success in sports like weightlifting and taekwondo at the last two summer Olympic Games has demonstrated that boxing is no longer the only medal option for Thailand . Sporting venues Thammasat Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Bangkok . It is currently used mostly for football matches . The stadium holds 25,000 . It is on Thammasat University 's Rangsit campus . It was built for the 1998 Asian Games by construction firm Christiani and Nielsen , the same company that constructed the Democracy Monument in Bangkok . Rajamangala National Stadium is the biggest sporting arena in Thailand . It currently has a capacity of 65,000 . It is in Bang Kapi , Bangkok . The stadium was built in 1998 for the 1998 Asian Games and is the home stadium of the Thailand national football team . The well - known Lumpini Boxing Stadium will host its final Muay Thai boxing matches on 7 February 2014 after the venue first opened in December 1956 . Managed by the Royal Thai Army , the stadium was officially selected for the purpose of muay Thai bouts following a competition that was staged on 15 March 1956 . From 11 February 2014 , the stadium will relocate to Ram Intra Road , due to the new venue 's capacity to accommodate audiences of up to 3,500 .

"Thailand (/ˈtaɪlænd/ TY-land), officially the Kingdom of Thailand and formerly known as Siam, is a country at the center of the Southeast Asian Indochinese peninsula composed of 76 provinces. At 513,120 km2 (198,120 sq mi) and over 68 million people, Thailand is the world's 50th largest country by total area and the 21st-most-populous country. The capital and largest city is Bangkok, a special administrative area. Thailand is bordered to the north by Myanmar and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Myanmar. Its maritime boundaries include Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand to the southeast, and Indonesia and India on the Andaman Sea to the southwest. Although nominally a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy, the most recent coup in 2014 established a de facto military dictatorship.\n"

The United States had dropped the bombs with the consent of the United Kingdom as outlined in the Quebec Agreement . The two bombings killed at least 129,000 people ( most of whom were civilians ) and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in the history of warfare . In the final year of the war , the Allies prepared for what was anticipated to be a very costly invasion of the Japanese mainland . This undertaking was preceded by a U.S. conventional and firebombing campaign that destroyed 67 Japanese cities . The war in Europe had concluded when Germany signed its instrument of surrender on May 8 , 1945 , which was eight days after Adolf Hitler committed suicide . The Japanese were facing the same fate but refused to accept the Allies ' demands for unconditional surrender , and the war in the Pacific Theatre continued . The Allies called for the unconditional surrender of the Imperial Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26 , 1945 -- the alternative being `` prompt and utter destruction '' . The Japanese ignored the ultimatum and the war continued . By August 1945 , the Allies ' Manhattan Project had produced two types of atomic bomb , and the 509th Composite Group of the United States Army Air Forces ( USAAF ) was equipped with the specialized Silverplate version of the Boeing B - 29 Superfortress that could deliver them from Tinian in the Mariana Islands . Orders for atomic bombs to be used on four Japanese cities were issued on July 25 . On August 6 , the U.S. dropped a uranium gun - type ( Little Boy ) bomb on Hiroshima , and American President Harry S. Truman called for Japan 's surrender , warning it to `` expect a rain of ruin from the air , the like of which has never been seen on this earth . '' Three days later , on August 9 , a plutonium implosion - type ( Fat Man ) bomb was dropped on Nagasaki . Within the first two to four months following the bombings , the acute effects of the atomic bombings had killed 90,000 -- 146,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000 -- 80,000 in Nagasaki ; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day . During the following months , large numbers died from the effect of burns , radiation sickness , and other injuries , compounded by illness and malnutrition . In both cities , most of the dead were civilians , although Hiroshima had a sizable military garrison . Japan announced its surrender to the Allies on August 15 , six days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union 's declaration of war . On September 2 , the Japanese government signed the instrument of surrender , effectively ending World War II . The justification for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is still debated to this day .

Japan still had control of all of Manchuria , Korea , Taiwan and Indochina , a large part of China , including most of the main Chinese cities , and much of the Dutch East Indies . In 1945 , the Pacific War between the Empire of Japan and the Allies entered its fourth year . The Japanese fought fiercely , ensuring that the Allied victory would come at an enormous cost . The 1.25 million battle casualties that were incurred by the United States in World War II included both military personnel killed in action and wounded in action . Nearly one million of the casualties occurred during the last year of the war , from June 1944 to June 1945 . In December 1944 , American battle casualties hit an all - time monthly high of 88,000 as a result of the German Ardennes Offensive . In the Pacific , the Allies returned to the Philippines , recaptured Burma , and invaded Borneo . Offensives were undertaken to reduce the Japanese forces remaining in Bougainville , New Guinea and the Philippines . In April 1945 , American forces landed on Okinawa , where heavy fighting continued until June . Along the way , the ratio of Japanese to American casualties dropped from 5 : 1 in the Philippines to 2 : 1 on Okinawa . Although some Japanese soldiers were taken prisoner , most fought until they were killed or committed suicide . Nearly 99 % of the 21,000 defenders of Iwo Jima were killed . Of the 117,000 Okinawan and Japanese troops defending Okinawa in April -- June 1945 , 94 % were killed . American military leaders used these figures to estimate high casualties among American soldiers in the planned invasion of Japan . As the Allies advanced towards Japan , conditions became steadily worse for the Japanese people . Japan 's merchant fleet declined from 5,250,000 gross tons in 1941 to 1,560,000 tons in March 1945 , and 557,000 tons in August 1945 . Lack of raw materials forced the Japanese war economy into a steep decline after the middle of 1944 . The civilian economy , which had slowly deteriorated throughout the war , reached disastrous levels by the middle of 1945 . The loss of shipping also affected the fishing fleet , and the 1945 catch was only 22 % of that in 1941 . The 1945 rice harvest was the worst since 1909 , and hunger and malnutrition became widespread . U.S. industrial production was overwhelmingly superior to Japan 's . By 1943 , the U.S. produced almost 100,000 aircraft a year , compared to Japan 's production of 70,000 for the entire war . By the middle of 1944 , the U.S. had almost a hundred aircraft carriers in the Pacific , far more than Japan 's twenty - five for the entire war . In February 1945 , Prince Fumimaro Konoe advised the Emperor Hirohito that defeat was inevitable , and urged him to abdicate . Preparations to invade Japan Main article : Operation Downfall Even before the surrender of Nazi Germany on May 8 , 1945 , plans were underway for the largest operation of the Pacific War , Operation Downfall , the invasion of Japan . The operation had two parts : Operation Olympic and Operation Coronet . Set to begin in October 1945 , Olympic involved a series of landings by the U.S. Sixth Army intended to capture the southern third of the southernmost main Japanese island , Kyūshū . Operation Olympic was to be followed in March 1946 by Operation Coronet , the capture of the Kantō Plain , near Tokyo on the main Japanese island of Honshū by the U.S. First , Eighth and Tenth Armies , as well as a Commonwealth Corps made up of Australian , British and Canadian divisions . The target date was chosen to allow for Olympic to complete its objectives , for troops to be redeployed from Europe , and the Japanese winter to pass . U.S. Army poster prepares the public for the invasion of Japan after ending war on Germany and Italy Japan 's geography made this invasion plan obvious to the Japanese ; they were able to predict the Allied invasion plans accurately and thus adjust their defensive plan , Operation Ketsugō , accordingly . The Japanese planned an all - out defense of Kyūshū , with little left in reserve for any subsequent defense operations . Four veteran divisions were withdrawn from the Kwantung Army in Manchuria in March 1945 to strengthen the forces in Japan , and 45 new divisions were activated between February and May 1945 . Most were immobile formations for coastal defense , but 16 were high quality mobile divisions . In all , there were 2.3 million Japanese Army troops prepared to defend the home islands , backed by a civilian militia of 28 million men and women . Casualty predictions varied widely , but were extremely high . The Vice Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff , Vice Admiral Takijirō Ōnishi , predicted up to 20 million Japanese deaths . A study from June 15 , 1945 , by the Joint War Plans Committee , who provided planning information to the Joint Chiefs of Staff , estimated that Olympic would result in between 130,000 and 220,000 U.S. casualties , of which U.S. dead would be in the range from 25,000 to 46,000 . Delivered on June 15 , 1945 , after insight gained from the Battle of Okinawa , the study noted Japan 's inadequate defenses due to the very effective sea blockade and the American firebombing campaign . The Chief of Staff of the United States Army , General of the Army George Marshall , and the Army Commander in Chief in the Pacific , General of the Army Douglas MacArthur , signed documents agreeing with the Joint War Plans Committee estimate . The Americans were alarmed by the Japanese buildup , which was accurately tracked through Ultra intelligence . Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson was sufficiently concerned about high American estimates of probable casualties to commission his own study by Quincy Wright and William Shockley . Wright and Shockley spoke with Colonels James McCormack and Dean Rusk , and examined casualty forecasts by Michael E. DeBakey and Gilbert Beebe . Wright and Shockley estimated the invading Allies would suffer between 1.7 and 4 million casualties in such a scenario , of whom between 400,000 and 800,000 would be dead , while Japanese fatalities would have been around 5 to 10 million . Marshall began contemplating the use of a weapon that was `` readily available and which assuredly can decrease the cost in American lives '' : poison gas . Quantities of phosgene , mustard gas , tear gas and cyanogen chloride were moved to Luzon from stockpiles in Australia and New Guinea in preparation for Operation Olympic , and MacArthur ensured that Chemical Warfare Service units were trained in their use . Consideration was also given to using biological weapons against Japan . Air raids on Japan Main article : Air raids on Japan A B - 29 over Osaka on June 1 , 1945 While the United States had developed plans for an air campaign against Japan prior to the Pacific War , the capture of Allied bases in the western Pacific in the first weeks of the conflict meant that this offensive did not begin until mid-1944 when the long - ranged Boeing B - 29 Superfortress became ready for use in combat . Operation Matterhorn involved India - based B - 29s staging through bases around Chengdu in China to make a series of raids on strategic targets in Japan . This effort failed to achieve the strategic objectives that its planners had intended , largely because of logistical problems , the bomber 's mechanical difficulties , the vulnerability of Chinese staging bases , and the extreme range required to reach key Japanese cities . United States Army Air Forces ( USAAF ) Brigadier General Haywood S. Hansell determined that Guam , Tinian , and Saipan in the Mariana Islands would better serve as B - 29 bases , but they were in Japanese hands . Strategies were shifted to accommodate the air war , and the islands were captured between June and August 1944 . Air bases were developed , and B - 29 operations commenced from the Marianas in October 1944 . These bases were easily resupplied by cargo ships . The XXI Bomber Command began missions against Japan on November 18 , 1944 . The early attempts to bomb Japan from the Marianas proved just as ineffective as the China - based B - 29s had been . Hansell continued the practice of conducting so - called high - altitude precision bombing , aimed at key industries and transportation networks , even after these tactics had not produced acceptable results . These efforts proved unsuccessful due to logistical difficulties with the remote location , technical problems with the new and advanced aircraft , unfavorable weather conditions , and enemy action . The Operation Meetinghouse firebombing of Tokyo on the night of March 9 -- 10 , 1945 , was the single deadliest air raid in history ; with a greater area of fire damage and loss of life than either of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima or Nagasaki . Hansell 's successor , Major General Curtis LeMay , assumed command in January 1945 and initially continued to use the same precision bombing tactics , with equally unsatisfactory results . The attacks initially targeted key industrial facilities but much of the Japanese manufacturing process was carried out in small workshops and private homes . Under pressure from USAAF headquarters in Washington , LeMay changed tactics and decided that low - level incendiary raids against Japanese cities were the only way to destroy their production capabilities , shifting from precision bombing to area bombardment with incendiaries . Like most strategic bombing during World War II , the aim of the USAAF offensive against Japan was to destroy the enemy 's war industries , kill or disable civilian employees of these industries , and undermine civilian morale . Civilians who took part in the war effort through such activities as building fortifications and manufacturing munitions and other war materials in factories and workshops were considered combatants in a legal sense and therefore liable to be attacked . Over the next six months , the XXI Bomber Command under LeMay firebombed 67 Japanese cities . The firebombing of Tokyo , codenamed Operation Meetinghouse , on March 9 -- 10 killed an estimated 100,000 people and destroyed 16 square miles ( 41 km ) of the city and 267,000 buildings in a single night . It was the deadliest bombing raid of the war , at a cost of 20 B - 29s shot down by flak and fighters . By May , 75 % of bombs dropped were incendiaries designed to burn down Japan 's `` paper cities '' . By mid-June , Japan 's six largest cities had been devastated . The end of the fighting on Okinawa that month provided airfields even closer to the Japanese mainland , allowing the bombing campaign to be further escalated . Aircraft flying from Allied aircraft carriers and the Ryukyu Islands also regularly struck targets in Japan during 1945 in preparation for Operation Downfall . Firebombing switched to smaller cities , with populations ranging from 60,000 to 350,000 . According to Yuki Tanaka , the U.S. fire - bombed over a hundred Japanese towns and cities . These raids were also devastating . The Japanese military was unable to stop the Allied attacks and the country 's civil defense preparations proved inadequate . Japanese fighters and antiaircraft guns had difficulty engaging bombers flying at high altitude . From April 1945 , the Japanese interceptors also had to face American fighter escorts based on Iwo Jima and Okinawa . That month , the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service and Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service stopped attempting to intercept the air raids in order to preserve fighter aircraft to counter the expected invasion . By mid-1945 the Japanese only occasionally scrambled aircraft to intercept individual B - 29s conducting reconnaissance sorties over the country , in order to conserve supplies of fuel . By July 1945 , the Japanese had stockpiled 1,156,000 US barrels ( 137,800,000 l ; 36,400,000 US gal ; 30,300,000 imp gal ) of avgas for the invasion of Japan . While the Japanese military decided to resume attacks on Allied bombers from late June , by this time there were too few operational fighters available for this change of tactics to hinder the Allied air raids . Atomic bomb development Main article : Manhattan Project The discovery of nuclear fission by German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in 1938 , and its theoretical explanation by Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch , made the development of an atomic bomb a theoretical possibility . Fears that a German atomic bomb project would develop atomic weapons first , especially among scientists who were refugees from Nazi Germany and other fascist countries , were expressed in the Einstein - Szilard letter . This prompted preliminary research in the United States in late 1939 . Progress was slow until the arrival of the British MAUD Committee report in late 1941 , which indicated that only 5 -- 10 kilograms of isotopically enriched uranium - 235 was needed for a bomb instead of tons of un-enriched uranium and a neutron moderator ( e.g. heavy water ) . Working in collaboration with the United Kingdom and Canada , with their respective projects Tube Alloys and Chalk River Laboratories , the Manhattan Project , under the direction of Major General Leslie R. Groves , Jr. , of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers , designed and built the first atomic bombs . Groves appointed J. Robert Oppenheimer to organize and head the project 's Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico , where bomb design work was carried out . Two types of bombs were eventually developed . Little Boy was a gun - type fission weapon that used uranium - 235 , a rare isotope of uranium separated at the Clinton Engineer Works at Oak Ridge , Tennessee . The other , known as a Fat Man device ( both types named by Robert Serber ) , was a more powerful and efficient , but more complicated , implosion - type nuclear weapon that used plutonium created in nuclear reactors at Hanford , Washington . A test implosion weapon , the gadget , was detonated at Trinity Site , on July 16 , 1945 , near Alamogordo , New Mexico . There was a Japanese nuclear weapon program , but it lacked the human , mineral and financial resources of the Manhattan Project , and never made much progress towards developing an atomic bomb . Preparations Organization and training Aircraft of the 509th Composite Group that took part in the Hiroshima bombing . Left to right : Big Stink , The Great Artiste , Enola Gay The 509th Composite Group was constituted on December 9 , 1944 , and activated on December 17 , 1944 , at Wendover Army Air Field , Utah , commanded by Colonel Paul Tibbets . Tibbets was assigned to organize and command a combat group to develop the means of delivering an atomic weapon against targets in Germany and Japan . Because the flying squadrons of the group consisted of both bomber and transport aircraft , the group was designated as a `` composite '' rather than a `` bombardment '' unit . Working with the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos , Tibbets selected Wendover for his training base over Great Bend , Kansas , and Mountain Home , Idaho , because of its remoteness . Each bombardier completed at least 50 practice drops of inert or conventional explosive pumpkin bombs and Tibbets declared his group combat - ready . The `` Tinian Joint Chiefs '' : Captain William S. Parsons ( left ) , Rear Admiral William R. Purnell ( center ) , and Brigadier General Thomas F. Farrell ( right ) The 509th Composite Group had an authorized strength of 225 officers and 1,542 enlisted men , almost all of whom eventually deployed to Tinian . In addition to its authorized strength , the 509th had attached to it on Tinian 51 civilian and military personnel from Project Alberta , known as the 1st Technical Detachment . The 509th Composite Group 's 393d Bombardment Squadron was equipped with 15 Silverplate B - 29s . These aircraft were specially adapted to carry nuclear weapons , and were equipped with fuel - injected engines , Curtiss Electric reversible - pitch propellers , pneumatic actuators for rapid opening and closing of bomb bay doors and other improvements . The ground support echelon of the 509th Composite Group moved by rail on April 26 , 1945 , to its port of embarkation at Seattle , Washington . On May 6 the support elements sailed on the SS Cape Victory for the Marianas , while group materiel was shipped on the SS Emile Berliner . The Cape Victory made brief port calls at Honolulu and Eniwetok but the passengers were not permitted to leave the dock area . An advance party of the air echelon , consisting of 29 officers and 61 enlisted men flew by C - 54 to North Field on Tinian , between May 15 and May 22 . There were also two representatives from Washington , D.C. , Brigadier General Thomas Farrell , the deputy commander of the Manhattan Project , and Rear Admiral William R. Purnell of the Military Policy Committee , who were on hand to decide higher policy matters on the spot . Along with Captain William S. Parsons , the commander of Project Alberta , they became known as the `` Tinian Joint Chiefs '' . Choice of targets The mission runs of August 6 and 9 , with Hiroshima , Nagasaki , and Kokura ( the original target for August 9 ) displayed In April 1945 , Marshall asked Groves to nominate specific targets for bombing for final approval by himself and Stimson . Groves formed a Target Committee , chaired by himself , that included Farrell , Major John A. Derry , Colonel William P. Fisher , Joyce C. Stearns and David M. Dennison from the USAAF ; and scientists John von Neumann , Robert R. Wilson and William Penney from the Manhattan Project . The Target Committee met in Washington on April 27 ; at Los Alamos on May 10 , where it was able to talk to the scientists and technicians there ; and finally in Washington on May 28 , where it was briefed by Tibbets and Commander Frederick Ashworth from Project Alberta , and the Manhattan Project 's scientific advisor , Richard C. Tolman . The Target Committee nominated five targets : Kokura , the site of one of Japan 's largest munitions plants ; Hiroshima , an embarkation port and industrial center that was the site of a major military headquarters ; Yokohama , an urban center for aircraft manufacture , machine tools , docks , electrical equipment and oil refineries ; Niigata , a port with industrial facilities including steel and aluminum plants and an oil refinery ; and Kyoto , a major industrial center . The target selection was subject to the following criteria : The target was larger than 3 mi ( 4.8 km ) in diameter and was an important target in a large city . The blast would create effective damage . The target was unlikely to be attacked by August 1945 . These cities were largely untouched during the nightly bombing raids and the Army Air Forces agreed to leave them off the target list so accurate assessment of the weapon could be made . Hiroshima was described as `` an important army depot and port of embarkation in the middle of an urban industrial area . It is a good radar target and it is such a size that a large part of the city could be extensively damaged . There are adjacent hills which are likely to produce a focusing effect which would considerably increase the blast damage . Due to rivers it is not a good incendiary target . '' The Target Committee stated that `` It was agreed that psychological factors in the target selection were of great importance . Two aspects of this are ( 1 ) obtaining the greatest psychological effect against Japan and ( 2 ) making the initial use sufficiently spectacular for the importance of the weapon to be internationally recognized when publicity on it is released . Kyoto had the advantage of being an important center for military industry , as well an intellectual center and hence a population better able to appreciate the significance of the weapon . The Emperor 's palace in Tokyo has a greater fame than any other target but is of least strategic value . '' Edwin O. Reischauer , a Japan expert for the U.S. Army Intelligence Service , was incorrectly said to have prevented the bombing of Kyoto . In his autobiography , Reischauer specifically refuted this claim : ... the only person deserving credit for saving Kyoto from destruction is Henry L. Stimson , the Secretary of War at the time , who had known and admired Kyoto ever since his honeymoon there several decades earlier . On May 30 , Stimson asked Groves to remove Kyoto from the target list due to its historical , religious and cultural significance , but Groves pointed to its military and industrial significance . Stimson then approached President Harry S. Truman about the matter . Truman agreed with Stimson , and Kyoto was temporarily removed from the target list . Groves attempted to restore Kyoto to the target list in July , but Stimson remained adamant . On July 25 , Nagasaki was put on the target list in place of Kyoto . Proposed demonstration In early May 1945 , the Interim Committee was created by Stimson at the urging of leaders of the Manhattan Project and with the approval of Truman to advise on matters pertaining to nuclear energy . During the meetings on May 31 and June 1 , scientist Ernest Lawrence had suggested giving the Japanese a non-combat demonstration . Arthur Compton later recalled that : It was evident that everyone would suspect trickery . If a bomb were exploded in Japan with previous notice , the Japanese air power was still adequate to give serious interference . An atomic bomb was an intricate device , still in the developmental stage . Its operation would be far from routine . If during the final adjustments of the bomb the Japanese defenders should attack , a faulty move might easily result in some kind of failure . Such an end to an advertised demonstration of power would be much worse than if the attempt had not been made . It was now evident that when the time came for the bombs to be used we should have only one of them available , followed afterwards by others at all - too - long intervals . We could not afford the chance that one of them might be a dud . If the test were made on some neutral territory , it was hard to believe that Japan 's determined and fanatical military men would be impressed . If such an open test were made first and failed to bring surrender , the chance would be gone to give the shock of surprise that proved so effective . On the contrary , it would make the Japanese ready to interfere with an atomic attack if they could . Though the possibility of a demonstration that would not destroy human lives was attractive , no one could suggest a way in which it could be made so convincing that it would be likely to stop the war . The possibility of a demonstration was raised again in the Franck Report issued by physicist James Franck on June 11 and the Scientific Advisory Panel rejected his report on June 16 , saying that `` we can propose no technical demonstration likely to bring an end to the war ; we see no acceptable alternative to direct military use . '' Franck then took the report to Washington , D.C. , where the Interim Committee met on June 21 to re-examine its earlier conclusions ; but it reaffirmed that there was no alternative to the use of the bomb on a military target . Like Compton , many U.S. officials and scientists argued that a demonstration would sacrifice the shock value of the atomic attack , and the Japanese could deny the atomic bomb was lethal , making the mission less likely to produce surrender . Allied prisoners of war might be moved to the demonstration site and be killed by the bomb . They also worried that the bomb might be a dud since the Trinity test was of a stationary device , not an air - dropped bomb . In addition , only two bombs would be available at the start of August , although more were in production , and they cost billions of dollars , so using one for a demonstration would be expensive . Leaflets Various leaflets were dropped on Japan , three versions showing the names of 11 or 12 Japanese cities targeted for destruction by firebombing . The other side contained text stating `` ... we can not promise that only these cities will be among those attacked ... '' For several months , the U.S. had warned civilians of potential air raids by dropping more than 63 million leaflets across Japan . Many Japanese cities suffered terrible damage from aerial bombings ; some were as much as 97 % destroyed . LeMay thought that leaflets would increase the psychological impact of bombing , and reduce the international stigma of area - bombing cities . Even with the warnings , Japanese opposition to the war remained ineffective . In general , the Japanese regarded the leaflet messages as truthful , with many Japanese choosing to leave major cities . The leaflets caused such concern amongst the Empire of Japan that they ordered the arrest of anyone caught in possession of a leaflet . Leaflet texts were prepared by recent Japanese prisoners of war because they were thought to be the best choice `` to appeal to their compatriots '' . In preparation for dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima , the Oppenheimer - led Scientific Panel of the Interim Committee decided against a demonstration bomb and against a special leaflet warning . Those decisions were implemented because of the uncertainty of a successful detonation and also because of the wish to maximize shock in the leadership . No warning was given to Hiroshima that a new and much more destructive bomb was going to be dropped . Various sources gave conflicting information about when the last leaflets were dropped on Hiroshima prior to the atomic bomb . Robert Jay Lifton wrote that it was July 27 , and Theodore H. McNelly wrote that it was July 3 . The USAAF history noted that eleven cities were targeted with leaflets on July 27 , but Hiroshima was not one of them , and there were no leaflet sorties on July 30 . Leaflet sorties were undertaken on August 1 and August 4 . Hiroshima may have been leafleted in late July or early August , as survivor accounts talk about a delivery of leaflets a few days before the atomic bomb was dropped . Three versions were printed of a leaflet listing 11 or 12 cities targeted for firebombing ; a total of 33 cities listed . With the text of this leaflet reading in Japanese `` ... we can not promise that only these cities will be among those attacked ... '' Hiroshima is not listed . Consultation with Britain and Canada General Thomas Handy 's order to General Carl Spaatz authorizing the dropping of the atomic bombs Under the 1943 Quebec Agreement with the United Kingdom , nuclear weapons would not be used against another country without mutual consent . Stimson therefore had to obtain British permission . A meeting of the Combined Policy Committee was held at the Pentagon on July 4 , 1945 . Stimson and Vannevar Bush represented the United States ; Britain was represented by the head of the British Joint Staff Mission , Field Marshal Sir Henry Maitland Wilson ; and Canada by Clarence D. Howe . In addition , Harvey Bundy , Sir James Chadwick , Groves , Lord Halifax , George L. Harrison , and Roger Makins were all present at the meeting by invitation . Wilson announced that the British government concurred with the use of nuclear weapons against Japan , which would be officially recorded as a decision of the Combined Policy Committee . As the release of information to third parties was also controlled by the Quebec Agreement , discussion then turned to what scientific details would be revealed in the press announcement of the bombing . The meeting also considered what Truman could reveal to Joseph Stalin , the leader of the Soviet Union , at the upcoming Potsdam Conference . Orders for the attack were issued to General Carl Spaatz on July 25 under the signature of General Thomas T. Handy , the acting Chief of Staff , since Marshall was at the Potsdam Conference with Truman . That day , Truman noted in his diary that : This weapon is to be used against Japan between now and August 10th . I have told the Sec. of War , Mr. Stimson , to use it so that military objectives and soldiers and sailors are the target and not women and children . Even if the Japs are savages , ruthless , merciless and fanatic , we as the leader of the world for the common welfare can not drop that terrible bomb on the old capital ( Kyoto ) or the new ( Tokyo ) . He and I are in accord . The target will be a purely military one . Potsdam declaration Main article : Potsdam Declaration The July 16 success of the Trinity Test in the New Mexico desert exceeded expectations . On July 26 , Allied leaders issued the Potsdam Declaration , which outlined the terms of surrender for Japan . The declaration was presented as an ultimatum and stated that without a surrender , the Allies would attack Japan , resulting in `` the inevitable and complete destruction of the Japanese armed forces and just as inevitably the utter devastation of the Japanese homeland '' . The atomic bomb was not mentioned in the communiqué . On July 28 , Japanese papers reported that the declaration had been rejected by the Japanese government . That afternoon , Prime Minister Suzuki Kantarō declared at a press conference that the Potsdam Declaration was no more than a rehash ( yakinaoshi ) of the Cairo Declaration and that the government intended to ignore it ( mokusatsu , `` kill by silence '' ) . The statement was taken by both Japanese and foreign papers as a clear rejection of the declaration . Emperor Hirohito , who was waiting for a Soviet reply to non-committal Japanese peace feelers , made no move to change the government position . Japan 's willingness to surrender remained conditional on the preservation of the imperial institution ; that Japan not be occupied ; that the Japanese armed forces be disbanded voluntarily ; and that war criminals be prosecuted by Japanese courts . At Potsdam , Truman agreed to a request from Winston Churchill that Britain be represented when the atomic bomb was dropped . William Penney and Group Captain Leonard Cheshire were sent to Tinian , but found that LeMay would not let them accompany the mission . All they could do was send a strongly worded signal back to Wilson . Bombs The Little Boy bomb , except for the uranium payload , was ready at the beginning of May 1945 . The uranium - 235 projectile was completed on June 15 , and the target insert on July 24 . The target and bomb pre-assemblies ( partly assembled bombs without the fissile components ) left Hunters Point Naval Shipyard , California , on July 16 aboard the cruiser USS Indianapolis , and arrived on Tinian on July 26 . The target inserts followed by air on July 30 . The first plutonium core , along with its polonium - beryllium urchin initiator , was transported in the custody of Project Alberta courier Raemer Schreiber in a magnesium field carrying case designed for the purpose by Philip Morrison . Magnesium was chosen because it does not act as a tamper . The core departed from Kirtland Army Air Field on a C - 54 transport aircraft of the 509th Composite Group 's 320th Troop Carrier Squadron on July 26 , and arrived at North Field July 28 . Three Fat Man high - explosive pre-assemblies , designated F31 , F32 , and F33 , were picked up at Kirtland on July 28 by three B - 29s , two from the 393d Bombardment Squadron plus one from the 216th Army Air Force Base Unit , and transported to North Field , arriving on August 2 . Hiroshima Hiroshima during World War II The Enola Gay dropped the `` Little Boy '' atomic bomb on Hiroshima . In this photograph are five of the aircraft 's ground crew with mission commander Paul Tibbets in the center . At the time of its bombing , Hiroshima was a city of both industrial and military significance . A number of military units were located nearby , the most important of which was the headquarters of Field Marshal Shunroku Hata 's Second General Army , which commanded the defense of all of southern Japan , and was located in Hiroshima Castle . Hata 's command consisted of some 400,000 men , most of whom were on Kyushu where an Allied invasion was correctly anticipated . Also present in Hiroshima were the headquarters of the 59th Army , the 5th Division and the 224th Division , a recently formed mobile unit . The city was defended by five batteries of 7 - cm and 8 - cm ( 2.8 and 3.1 inch ) anti-aircraft guns of the 3rd Anti-Aircraft Division , including units from the 121st and 122nd Anti-Aircraft Regiments and the 22nd and 45th Separate Anti-Aircraft Battalions . In total , an estimated 40,000 Japanese military personnel were stationed in the city . Hiroshima was a minor supply and logistics base for the Japanese military , but it also had large stockpiles of military supplies . The city was also a communications center , a key port for shipping and an assembly area for troops . It was a beehive of war industry , manufacturing parts for planes and boats , for bombs , rifles , and handguns ; children were shown how to construct and hurl gasoline bombs and the wheelchair - bound and bedridden were assembling booby traps to be planted in the beaches of Kyushu . A new slogan appeared on the walls of Hiroshima : `` FORGET SELF ! ALL OUT FOR YOUR COUNTRY ! '' It was also the second largest city in Japan after Kyoto that was still undamaged by air raids , due to the fact that it lacked the aircraft manufacturing industry that was the XXI Bomber Command 's priority target . On July 3 , the Joint Chiefs of Staff placed it off limits to bombers , along with Kokura , Niigata and Kyoto . The center of the city contained several reinforced concrete buildings and lighter structures . Outside the center , the area was congested by a dense collection of small timber - made workshops set among Japanese houses . A few larger industrial plants lay near the outskirts of the city . The houses were constructed of timber with tile roofs , and many of the industrial buildings were also built around timber frames . The city as a whole was highly susceptible to fire damage . The population of Hiroshima had reached a peak of over 381,000 earlier in the war but prior to the atomic bombing , the population had steadily decreased because of a systematic evacuation ordered by the Japanese government . At the time of the attack , the population was approximately 340,000 -- 350,000 . Residents wondered why Hiroshima had been spared destruction by firebombing . Some speculated that the city was to be saved for U.S. occupation headquarters , others thought perhaps their relatives in Hawaii and California had petitioned the U.S. government to avoid bombing Hiroshima . More realistic city officials had ordered buildings torn down to create long , straight firebreaks , beginning in 1944 . Firebreaks continued to be expanded and extended up to the morning of August 6 , 1945 . Bombing of Hiroshima Seizo Yamada 's ground level photo taken approximately 7 km ( 4.3 mi ) northeast of Hiroshima Picture found in Honkawa Elementary School in 2013 of the Hiroshima atom bomb cloud , stated by some books and the Hiroshima Peace Museum as having been taken about 30 minutes after detonation from about 10 km ( 6.2 mi ) east of the hypocenter . However , experience on how quickly such clouds dissipate and comparisons to other photos puts this frame at 2 - 3 minutes after detonation , not 30 minutes . Hiroshima was the primary target of the first nuclear bombing mission on August 6 , with Kokura and Nagasaki as alternative targets . Having been fully briefed under the terms of Operations Order No. 35 , the 393d Bombardment Squadron B - 29 Enola Gay , piloted by Tibbets , took off from North Field , Tinian , about six hours ' flight time from Japan . The Enola Gay ( named after Tibbets ' mother ) was accompanied by two other B - 29s . The Great Artiste , commanded by Major Charles Sweeney , carried instrumentation , and a then - nameless aircraft later called Necessary Evil , commanded by Captain George Marquardt , served as the photography aircraft .

The aircraft arrived over the target in clear visibility at 31,060 feet ( 9,470 m ) . Parsons , who was in command of the mission , armed the bomb during the flight to minimize the risks during takeoff . He had witnessed four B - 29s crash and burn at takeoff , and feared that a nuclear explosion would occur if a B - 29 crashed with an armed Little Boy on board . His assistant , Second Lieutenant Morris R. Jeppson , removed the safety devices 30 minutes before reaching the target area . During the night of August 5 -- 6 , Japanese early warning radar detected the approach of numerous American aircraft headed for the southern part of Japan . Radar detected 65 bombers headed for Saga , 102 bound for Maebashi , 261 en route to Nishinomiya , 111 headed for Ube and 66 bound for Imabari . An alert was given and radio broadcasting stopped in many cities , among them Hiroshima . The all - clear was sounded in Hiroshima at 00 : 05 . About an hour before the bombing , the air raid alert was sounded again , as Straight Flush flew over the city . It broadcast a short message which was picked up by Enola Gay . It read : `` Cloud cover less than 3 / 10th at all altitudes . Advice : bomb primary . '' The all - clear was sounded over Hiroshima again at 07 : 09 . At 08 : 09 , Tibbets started his bomb run and handed control over to his bombardier , Major Thomas Ferebee . The release at 08 : 15 ( Hiroshima time ) went as planned , and the Little Boy containing about 64 kg ( 141 lb ) of uranium - 235 took 44.4 seconds to fall from the aircraft flying at about 31,000 feet ( 9,400 m ) to a detonation height of about 1,900 feet ( 580 m ) above the city . Enola Gay traveled 11.5 mi ( 18.5 km ) before it felt the shock waves from the blast . For decades this `` Hiroshima strike '' photo was misidentified as the mushroom cloud of the bomb that formed at c. 08 : 16 . However , due to its much greater height , the scene was identified by a researcher in March 2016 as the firestorm - cloud that engulfed the city , a fire that reached its peak intensity some three hours after the bomb . The image with the incorrect description featured prominently in the Hiroshima Peace Museum up to 2016 , though not cited , it had much earlier , also been mis - attributed and presented to the public in 1955 by US artists , with the world - touring The Family of Man exhibition . Without knowledge of the photo the output of energy from the fuel in the city , necessary to loft a stratospheric firestorm - cloud , had been estimated as 1000 times the energy of the bomb . Post March estimates using the height of this Hiroshima - cloud also point at the underlying firestorm releasing approximately 1000 times the energy of the bomb . Twenty minutes after detonation , during the formation of this firestorm , soot filled black rain began to fall on survivors . Scientist Alan Robock suggests that 100 of these firestorm - clouds would create a small `` nuclear winter '' , 1 - 2 C of global cooling . Due to crosswind , the bomb missed the aiming point , the Aioi Bridge , by approximately 800 ft ( 240 m ) and detonated directly over Shima Surgical Clinic at 34 ° 23 ′ 41 '' N 132 ° 27 ′ 17 '' E / 34.39468 ° N 132.45462 ° E / 34.39468 ; 132.45462 . It released the equivalent energy of 16 kilotons of TNT ( 67 TJ ) , ± 2 kt . The weapon was considered very inefficient , with only 1.7 % of its material fissioning . The radius of total destruction was about 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) , with resulting fires across 4.4 square miles ( 11 km ) . People on the ground reported seeing a pika ( ピカ ) -- a brilliant flash of light -- followed by a don ( ドン ) -- a loud booming sound . Some 70,000 -- 80,000 people , or around 30 % of the population of Hiroshima , were killed by the blast and resultant firestorm , and another 70,000 injured . Perhaps as many as 20,000 Japanese military personnel were killed . Enola Gay stayed over the target area for two minutes and was ten miles away when the bomb detonated . Only Tibbets , Parsons , and Ferebee knew of the nature of the weapon ; the others on the bomber were only told to expect a blinding flash and given black goggles . `` It was hard to believe what we saw '' , Tibbets told reporters , while Parsons said `` the whole thing was tremendous and awe - inspiring ... the men aboard with me gasped ' My God ' '' . He and Tibbets compared the shockwave to `` a close burst of ack - ack fire '' . Events on the ground Some of the reinforced concrete buildings in Hiroshima had been very strongly constructed because of the earthquake danger in Japan , and their framework did not collapse even though they were fairly close to the blast center . Since the bomb detonated in the air , the blast was directed more downward than sideways , which was largely responsible for the survival of the Prefectural Industrial Promotional Hall , now commonly known as the Genbaku ( A-bomb ) dome . This building was designed and built by the Czech architect Jan Letzel , and was only 150 m ( 490 ft ) from ground zero . The ruin was named Hiroshima Peace Memorial and was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996 over the objections of the United States and China , which expressed reservations on the grounds that other Asian nations were the ones who suffered the greatest loss of life and property , and a focus on Japan lacked historical perspective . The US surveys estimated that 4.7 square miles ( 12 km ) of the city were destroyed . Japanese officials determined that 69 % of Hiroshima 's buildings were destroyed and another 6 -- 7 % damaged . The bombing started fires that spread rapidly through timber and paper homes . As in other Japanese cities , the firebreaks proved ineffective . Hiroshima bombing Hiroshima in the aftermath of the bombing Strike order for the Hiroshima bombing as posted on August 5 , 1945 Injured civilian casualties The Hiroshima Genbaku Dome after the bombing The greater absorption of thermal energy by dark colors resulted in the clothes pattern , in the tight - fitting areas on this survivor , being burnt into the skin . Direct , thermal flash burns . Survivor is standing as the burn is of very shallow depth ; unlike burns from hot convective material , the heat transfer rate from thermal radiation is low . 22 - year old victim Toyoko Kugata being treated at the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital ( October 6 , 1945 ) Eizō Nomura was the closest known survivor , being in the basement of a reinforced concrete building ( it remained as the Rest House after the war ) only 170 metres ( 560 ft ) from ground zero ( the hypocenter ) at the time of the attack . He lived into his 80s . Akiko Takakura was among the closest survivors to the hypocenter of the blast . She had been in the solidly built Bank of Hiroshima only 300 meters ( 980 ft ) from ground - zero at the time of the attack . Over 90 % of the doctors and 93 % of the nurses in Hiroshima were killed or injured -- most had been in the downtown area which received the greatest damage . The hospitals were destroyed or heavily damaged . Only one doctor , Terufumi Sasaki , remained on duty at the Red Cross Hospital . Nonetheless , by early afternoon , the police and volunteers had established evacuation centres at hospitals , schools and tram stations , and a morgue was established in the Asano library . Most elements of the Japanese Second General Army headquarters were at physical training on the grounds of Hiroshima Castle , barely 900 yards ( 820 m ) from the hypocenter . The attack killed 3,243 troops on the parade ground . The communications room of Chugoku Military District Headquarters that was responsible for issuing and lifting air raid warnings was in a semi-basement in the castle . Yoshie Oka , a Hijiyama Girls High School student who had been conscripted / mobilized to serve as a communications officer had just sent a message that the alarm had been issued for Hiroshima and neighboring Yamaguchi , when the bomb exploded . She used a special phone to inform Fukuyama Headquarters ( some 100 km away ) that `` Hiroshima has been attacked by a new type of bomb . The city is in a state of near - total destruction . '' Since Mayor Senkichi Awaya had been killed while eating breakfast with his son and granddaughter at the mayoral residence , Field Marshal Hata , who was only slightly wounded , took over the administration of the city , and coordinated relief efforts . Many of his staff had been killed or fatally wounded , including a Korean prince of the Joseon Dynasty , Yi Wu , who was serving as a lieutenant colonel in the Japanese Army . Hata 's senior surviving staff officer was the wounded Colonel Kumao Imoto , who acted as his chief of staff . Soldiers from the undamaged Hiroshima Ujina Harbor used suicide boats , intended to repel the American invasion , to collect the wounded and take them down the rivers to the military hospital at Ujina . Trucks and trains brought in relief supplies and evacuated survivors from the city . Twelve American airmen were imprisoned at the Chugoku Military Police Headquarters located about 1,300 feet ( 400 m ) from the hypocenter of the blast . Most died instantly , although two were reported to have been executed by their captors , and two prisoners badly injured by the bombing were left next to the Aioi Bridge by the Kempei Tai , where they were stoned to death . Eight U.S. prisoners of war killed as part of the medical experiments program at Kyushu University were falsely reported by Japanese authorities as having been killed in the atomic blast as part of an attempted cover up . Japanese realization of the bombing Hiroshima before the bombing Hiroshima after the bombing and firestorm The Tokyo control operator of the Japan Broadcasting Corporation noticed that the Hiroshima station had gone off the air . He tried to re-establish his program by using another telephone line , but it too had failed . About 20 minutes later the Tokyo railroad telegraph center realized that the main line telegraph had stopped working just north of Hiroshima . From some small railway stops within 16 km ( 10 mi ) of the city came unofficial and confused reports of a terrible explosion in Hiroshima . All these reports were transmitted to the headquarters of the Imperial Japanese Army General Staff . Military bases repeatedly tried to call the Army Control Station in Hiroshima . The complete silence from that city puzzled the General Staff ; they knew that no large enemy raid had occurred and that no sizable store of explosives was in Hiroshima at that time . A young officer was instructed to fly immediately to Hiroshima , to land , survey the damage , and return to Tokyo with reliable information for the staff . It was felt that nothing serious had taken place and that the explosion was just a rumor . The staff officer went to the airport and took off for the southwest . After flying for about three hours , while still nearly 160 km ( 100 mi ) from Hiroshima , he and his pilot saw a great cloud of smoke from the bomb . After circling the city in order to survey the damage they landed south of the city , where the staff officer , after reporting to Tokyo , began to organize relief measures . Tokyo 's first indication that the city had been destroyed by a new type of bomb came from President Truman 's announcement of the strike , sixteen hours later . Events of August 7 -- 9 Truman announcing the bombing of Hiroshima President Truman announces the bombing of Hiroshima . Problems playing this file ? See media help . After the Hiroshima bombing , Truman issued a statement announcing the use of the new weapon . He stated , `` We may be grateful to Providence '' that the German atomic bomb project had failed , and that the United States and its allies had `` spent two billion dollars on the greatest scientific gamble in history -- and won '' . Truman then warned Japan : `` If they do not now accept our terms , they may expect a rain of ruin from the air , the like of which has never been seen on this earth . Behind this air attack will follow sea and land forces in such numbers and power as they have not yet seen and with the fighting skill of which they are already well aware . '' This was a widely broadcast speech picked up by Japanese news agencies . Leaflet AB12 , with information on the Hiroshima bomb and a warning to civilians to petition the Emperor to surrender was dropped over Japan beginning on August 9 , by the 509th Composite Group on the bombing mission . Although it is not identified by them , an AB11 is in the possession of the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum . By August 8 , the 50,000 - watt standard wave station on Saipan the OWI radio station , broadcast a similar message to Japan every 15 minutes about Hiroshima , stating that more Japanese cities would face a similar fate in the absence of immediate acceptance of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration and emphatically urged civilians to evacuate major cities . Radio Japan , which continued to extoll victory for Japan by never surrendering , had informed the Japanese of the destruction of Hiroshima by a single bomb . Prime Minister Suzuki felt compelled to meet the Japanese press , to whom he reiterated his government 's commitment to ignore the Allies ' demands and fight on . The Japanese government did not react . Emperor Hirohito , the government , and the war council considered four conditions for surrender : the preservation of the kokutai ( Imperial institution and national polity ) , assumption by the Imperial Headquarters of responsibility for disarmament and demobilization , no occupation of the Japanese Home Islands , Korea , or Formosa , and delegation of the punishment of war criminals to the Japanese government . Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov informed Tokyo of the Soviet Union 's unilateral abrogation of the Soviet -- Japanese Neutrality Pact on August 5 . At two minutes past midnight on August 9 , Tokyo time , Soviet infantry , armor , and air forces had launched the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation . Four hours later , word reached Tokyo of the Soviet Union 's official declaration of war . The senior leadership of the Japanese Army began preparations to impose martial law on the nation , with the support of Minister of War Korechika Anami , in order to stop anyone attempting to make peace . On August 7 , a day after Hiroshima was destroyed , Dr. Yoshio Nishina and other atomic physicists arrived at the city , and carefully examined the damage . They then went back to Tokyo and told the cabinet that Hiroshima was indeed destroyed by an atomic bomb . Admiral Soemu Toyoda , the Chief of the Naval General Staff , estimated that no more than one or two additional bombs could be readied , so they decided to endure the remaining attacks , acknowledging `` there would be more destruction but the war would go on '' . American Magic codebreakers intercepted the cabinet 's messages . Purnell , Parsons , Tibbets , Spaatz , and LeMay met on Guam that same day to discuss what should be done next . Since there was no indication of Japan surrendering , they decided to proceed with dropping another bomb . Parsons said that Project Alberta would have it ready by August 11 , but Tibbets pointed to weather reports indicating poor flying conditions on that day due to a storm , and asked if the bomb could be readied by August 9 . Parsons agreed to try to do so . Nagasaki Nagasaki during World War II The Bockscar and its crew , who dropped the Fat Man atomic bomb on Nagasaki The city of Nagasaki had been one of the largest seaports in southern Japan , and was of great wartime importance because of its wide - ranging industrial activity , including the production of ordnance , ships , military equipment , and other war materials . The four largest companies in the city were Mitsubishi Shipyards , Electrical Shipyards , Arms Plant , and Steel and Arms Works , which employed about 90 % of the city 's labor force , and accounted for 90 % of the city 's industry . Although an important industrial city , Nagasaki had been spared from firebombing because its geography made it difficult to locate at night with AN / APQ - 13 radar . Unlike the other target cities , Nagasaki had not been placed off limits to bombers by the Joint Chiefs of Staff 's July 3 directive , and was bombed on a small scale five times . During one of these raids on August 1 , a number of conventional high - explosive bombs were dropped on the city . A few hit the shipyards and dock areas in the southwest portion of the city , and several hit the Mitsubishi Steel and Arms Works . By early August , the city was defended by the 134th Anti-Aircraft Regiment of the 4th Anti-Aircraft Division with four batteries of 7 cm ( 2.8 in ) anti-aircraft guns and two searchlight batteries . In contrast to Hiroshima , almost all of the buildings were of old - fashioned Japanese construction , consisting of timber or timber - framed buildings with timber walls ( with or without plaster ) and tile roofs . Many of the smaller industries and business establishments were also situated in buildings of timber or other materials not designed to withstand explosions . Nagasaki had been permitted to grow for many years without conforming to any definite city zoning plan ; residences were erected adjacent to factory buildings and to each other almost as closely as possible throughout the entire industrial valley . On the day of the bombing , an estimated 263,000 people were in Nagasaki , including 240,000 Japanese residents , 10,000 Korean residents , 2,500 conscripted Korean workers , 9,000 Japanese soldiers , 600 conscripted Chinese workers , and 400 Allied prisoners of war in a camp to the north of Nagasaki . Bombing of Nagasaki Responsibility for the timing of the second bombing was delegated to Tibbets . Scheduled for August 11 against Kokura , the raid was moved earlier by two days to avoid a five - day period of bad weather forecast to begin on August 10 . Three bomb pre-assemblies had been transported to Tinian , labeled F - 31 , F - 32 , and F - 33 on their exteriors . On August 8 , a dress rehearsal was conducted off Tinian by Sweeney using Bockscar as the drop airplane . Assembly F - 33 was expended testing the components and F - 31 was designated for the August 9 mission . Special Mission 16 , Secondary target Nagasaki , August 9 , 1945 Aircraft Pilot Call Sign Mission role Enola Gay Captain George W. Marquardt Dimples 82 Weather reconnaissance ( Kokura ) Laggin ' Dragon Captain Charles F. McKnight Dimples 95 Weather reconnaissance ( Nagasaki ) Bockscar Major Charles W. Sweeney Dimples 77 Weapon delivery The Great Artiste Captain Frederick C. Bock Dimples 89 Blast measurement instrumentation Big Stink Major James I. Hopkins , Jr . Dimples 90 Strike observation and photography Full House Major Ralph R. Taylor Dimples 83 Strike spare -- did not complete mission At 03 : 49 on the morning of August 9 , 1945 , Bockscar , flown by Sweeney 's crew , carried Fat Man , with Kokura as the primary target and Nagasaki the secondary target . The mission plan for the second attack was nearly identical to that of the Hiroshima mission , with two B - 29s flying an hour ahead as weather scouts and two additional B - 29s in Sweeney 's flight for instrumentation and photographic support of the mission . Sweeney took off with his weapon already armed but with the electrical safety plugs still engaged . Strike order for the Nagasaki bombing as posted August 8 , 1945 During pre-flight inspection of Bockscar , the flight engineer notified Sweeney that an inoperative fuel transfer pump made it impossible to use 640 US gallons ( 2,400 l ; 530 imp gal ) of fuel carried in a reserve tank . This fuel would still have to be carried all the way to Japan and back , consuming still more fuel . Replacing the pump would take hours ; moving the Fat Man to another aircraft might take just as long and was dangerous as well , as the bomb was live . Tibbets and Sweeney therefore elected to have Bockscar continue the mission . This time Penney and Cheshire were allowed to accompany the mission , flying as observers on the third plane , Big Stink , flown by the group 's operations officer , Major James I. Hopkins , Jr . Observers aboard the weather planes reported both targets clear . When Sweeney 's aircraft arrived at the assembly point for his flight off the coast of Japan , Big Stink failed to make the rendezvous . According to Cheshire , Hopkins was at varying heights including 9,000 feet ( 2,700 m ) higher than he should have been , and was not flying tight circles over Yakushima as previously agreed with Sweeney and Captain Frederick C. Bock , who was piloting the support B - 29 The Great Artiste . Instead , Hopkins was flying 40 - mile ( 64 km ) dogleg patterns . Though ordered not to circle longer than fifteen minutes , Sweeney continued to wait for Big Stink , at the urging of Ashworth , the plane 's weaponeer , who was in command of the mission . After exceeding the original departure time limit by a half - hour , Bockscar , accompanied by The Great Artiste , proceeded to Kokura , thirty minutes away . The delay at the rendezvous had resulted in clouds and drifting smoke over Kokura from fires started by a major firebombing raid by 224 B - 29s on nearby Yahata the previous day . Additionally , the Yawata Steel Works intentionally burned coal tar , to produce black smoke . The clouds and smoke resulted in 70 % of the area over Kokura being covered , obscuring the aiming point . Three bomb runs were made over the next 50 minutes , burning fuel and exposing the aircraft repeatedly to the heavy defenses of Yawata , but the bombardier was unable to drop visually . By the time of the third bomb run , Japanese antiaircraft fire was getting close , and Second Lieutenant Jacob Beser , who was monitoring Japanese communications , reported activity on the Japanese fighter direction radio bands . After three runs over the city , and with fuel running low because of the failed fuel pump , they headed for their secondary target , Nagasaki . Fuel consumption calculations made en route indicated that Bockscar had insufficient fuel to reach Iwo Jima and would be forced to divert to Okinawa , which had become entirely Allied - occupied territory only six weeks earlier . After initially deciding that if Nagasaki were obscured on their arrival the crew would carry the bomb to Okinawa and dispose of it in the ocean if necessary , Ashworth ruled that a radar approach would be used if the target was obscured . At about 07 : 50 Japanese time , an air raid alert was sounded in Nagasaki , but the `` all clear '' signal was given at 08 : 30 . When only two B - 29 Superfortresses were sighted at 10 : 53 , the Japanese apparently assumed that the planes were only on reconnaissance and no further alarm was given . Nagasaki before and after the bombing and the fires had long since burnt out A few minutes later at 11 : 00 , The Great Artiste dropped instruments attached to three parachutes . These instruments also contained an unsigned letter to Professor Ryokichi Sagane , a physicist at the University of Tokyo who studied with three of the scientists responsible for the atomic bomb at the University of California , Berkeley , urging him to tell the public about the danger involved with these weapons of mass destruction . The messages were found by military authorities but not turned over to Sagane until a month later . In 1949 , one of the authors of the letter , Luis Alvarez , met with Sagane and signed the document . At 11 : 01 , a last - minute break in the clouds over Nagasaki allowed Bockscar 's bombardier , Captain Kermit Beahan , to visually sight the target as ordered . The Fat Man weapon , containing a core of about 6.4 kg ( 14 lb ) of plutonium , was dropped over the city 's industrial valley at 32 ° 46 ′ 25 '' N 129 ° 51 ′ 48 '' E / 32.77372 ° N 129.86325 ° E / 32.77372 ; 129.86325 . It exploded 47 seconds later at 1,650 ± 33 ft ( 503 ± 10 m ) , above a tennis court halfway between the Mitsubishi Steel and Arms Works in the south and the Nagasaki Arsenal in the north . This was nearly 3 km ( 1.9 mi ) northwest of the planned hypocenter ; the blast was confined to the Urakami Valley and a major portion of the city was protected by the intervening hills . The resulting explosion released the equivalent energy of 21 ± 2 kt ( 87.9 ± 8.4 TJ ) . The explosion generated temperatures inside the fireball estimated at 3,900 ° C ( 7,050 ° F ) and winds that were estimated at over 1,000 km / h ( 620 mph ) . Big Stink spotted the explosion from a hundred miles away , and flew over to observe . Because of the delays in the mission and the inoperative fuel transfer pump , Bockscar did not have sufficient fuel to reach the emergency landing field at Iwo Jima , so Sweeney and Bock flew to Okinawa . Arriving there , Sweeney circled for 20 minutes trying to contact the control tower for landing clearance , finally concluding that his radio was faulty . Critically low on fuel , Bockscar barely made it to the runway on Okinawa 's Yontan Airfield . With enough fuel for only one landing attempt , Sweeney and Albury brought Bockscar in at 150 miles per hour ( 240 km / h ) instead of the normal 120 miles per hour ( 190 km / h ) , firing distress flares to alert the field of the uncleared landing . The number two engine died from fuel starvation as Bockscar began its final approach . Touching the runway hard , the heavy B - 29 slewed left and towards a row of parked B - 24 bombers before the pilots managed to regain control . The B - 29 's reversible propellers were insufficient to slow the aircraft adequately , and with both pilots standing on the brakes , Bockscar made a swerving 90 - degree turn at the end of the runway to avoid running off it . A second engine died from fuel exhaustion by the time the plane came to a stop . The flight engineer later measured fuel in the tanks and concluded that less than five minutes total remained . Following the mission , there was confusion over the identification of the plane . The first eyewitness account by war correspondent William L. Laurence of The New York Times , who accompanied the mission aboard the aircraft piloted by Bock , reported that Sweeney was leading the mission in The Great Artiste . He also noted its `` Victor '' number as 77 , which was that of Bockscar . Laurence had interviewed Sweeney and his crew , and was aware that they referred to their airplane as The Great Artiste . Except for Enola Gay , none of the 393d 's B - 29s had yet had names painted on the noses , a fact which Laurence himself noted in his account . Unaware of the switch in aircraft , Laurence assumed Victor 77 was The Great Artiste , which was in fact , Victor 89 . Events on the ground A photograph of Sumiteru Taniguchi 's back injuries taken in January 1946 by a U.S. Marine photographer Although the bomb was more powerful than the one used on Hiroshima , the effect was confined by hillsides to the narrow Urakami Valley . Of 7,500 Japanese employees who worked inside the Mitsubishi Munitions plant , including `` mobilized '' / conscripted students and regular workers , 6,200 were killed . Some 17,000 -- 22,000 others who worked in other war plants and factories in the city died as well . Casualty estimates for immediate deaths vary widely , ranging from 22,000 to 75,000 At least 35,000 -- 40,000 people were killed and 60,000 others injured . In the days and months following the explosion , more people died from bomb effects . Because of the presence of undocumented foreign workers , and a number of military personnel in transit , there are great discrepancies in the estimates of total deaths by the end of 1945 ; a range of 39,000 to 80,000 can be found in various studies . Urakami Tenshudo ( Catholic Church in Nagasaki ) destroyed by the bomb , the dome / bell of the church , at right , having toppled off Unlike Hiroshima 's military death toll , only 150 Japanese soldiers were killed instantly , including thirty - six from the 134th AAA Regiment of the 4th AAA Division . At least eight known POWs died from the bombing and as many as 13 may have died , including a British prisoner of war , Royal Air Force Corporal Ronald Shaw , and seven Dutch POWs . One American POW , Joe Kieyoomia , was in Nagasaki at the time of the bombing but survived , reportedly having been shielded from the effects of the bomb by the concrete walls of his cell . There were 24 Australian POWs in Nagasaki , all of whom survived . The radius of total destruction was about 1 mi ( 1.6 km ) , followed by fires across the northern portion of the city to 2 mi ( 3.2 km ) south of the bomb . About 58 % of the Mitsubishi Arms Plant was damaged , and about 78 % of the Mitsubishi Steel Works . The Mitsubishi Electric Works suffered only 10 % structural damage as it was on the border of the main destruction zone . The Nagasaki Arsenal was destroyed in the blast . Although many fires likewise burnt following the bombing , in contrast to Hiroshima where sufficient fuel density was available , no firestorm developed in Nagasaki as the damaged areas did not furnish enough fuel to generate the phenomenon . Instead , the ambient wind at the time pushed the fire spread along the valley . Plans for more Atomic attacks on Japan The Nagasaki Prefecture Report on the bombing characterized Nagasaki as `` like a graveyard with not a tombstone standing '' . Groves expected to have another atomic bomb ready for use on August 19 , with three more in September and a further three in October . On August 10 , he sent a memorandum to Marshall in which he wrote that `` the next bomb ... should be ready for delivery on the first suitable weather after 17 or 18 August . '' On the same day , Marshall endorsed the memo with the comment , `` It is not to be released over Japan without express authority from the President . '' Truman had secretly requested this on August 10 . This modified the previous order that the target cities were to be attacked with atomic bombs `` as made ready '' . There was already discussion in the War Department about conserving the bombs then in production for Operation Downfall . `` The problem now ( August 13 ) is whether or not , assuming the Japanese do not capitulate , to continue dropping them every time one is made and shipped out there or whether to hold them ... and then pour them all on in a reasonably short time . Not all in one day , but over a short period . And that also takes into consideration the target that we are after . In other words , should we not concentrate on targets that will be of the greatest assistance to an invasion rather than industry , morale , psychology , and the like ? Nearer the tactical use rather than other use . '' Two more Fat Man assemblies were readied , and scheduled to leave Kirtland Field for Tinian on August 11 and 14 , and Tibbets was ordered by LeMay to return to Albuquerque , New Mexico , to collect them . At Los Alamos , technicians worked 24 hours straight to cast another plutonium core . Although cast , it still needed to be pressed and coated , which would take until August 16 . Therefore , it could have been ready for use on August 19 . Unable to reach Marshall , Groves ordered on his own authority on August 13 that the core should not be shipped . Surrender of Japan and subsequent occupation Main articles : Surrender of Japan and Occupation of Japan Until August 9 , Japan 's war council still insisted on its four conditions for surrender . On that day Hirohito ordered Kōichi Kido to `` quickly control the situation ... because the Soviet Union has declared war against us . '' He then held an Imperial conference during which he authorized minister Shigenori Tōgō to notify the Allies that Japan would accept their terms on one condition , that the declaration `` does not comprise any demand which prejudices the prerogatives of His Majesty as a Sovereign ruler . '' On August 12 , the Emperor informed the imperial family of his decision to surrender . One of his uncles , Prince Asaka , then asked whether the war would be continued if the kokutai could not be preserved . Hirohito simply replied , `` Of course . '' As the Allied terms seemed to leave intact the principle of the preservation of the Throne , Hirohito recorded on August 14 his capitulation announcement which was broadcast to the Japanese nation the next day despite a short rebellion by militarists opposed to the surrender . In his declaration , Hirohito referred to the atomic bombings : Moreover , the enemy now possesses a new and terrible weapon with the power to destroy many innocent lives and do incalculable damage . Should we continue to fight , not only would it result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation , but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization . Such being the case , how are we to save the millions of our subjects , or to atone ourselves before the hallowed spirits of our imperial ancestors ? This is the reason why we have ordered the acceptance of the provisions of the joint declaration of the powers . In his `` Rescript to the Soldiers and Sailors '' delivered on August 17 , he stressed the impact of the Soviet invasion on his decision to surrender . Hirohito met with General MacArthur on September 27 , saying to him that `` the peace party did not prevail until the bombing of Hiroshima created a situation which could be dramatized '' . Furthermore , the `` Rescript to the Soldiers and Sailors '' speech he told MacArthur about was just personal , not political , and never stated that the Soviet intervention in Manchuria was the main reason for surrender . In fact , a day after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria , Hirohito ordered his advisers , primarily Chief Cabinet Secretary Hisatsune Sakomizu , Kawada Mizuho , and Masahiro Yasuoka , to write up a surrender speech . In Hirohito 's speech , days before announcing it on radio on August 15 , he gave three major reasons for surrender : Tokyo 's defenses would not be complete before the American invasion of Japan , Ise Shrine would be lost to the Americans , and atomic weapons deployed by the Americans would lead to the death of the entire Japanese race . Despite the Soviet intervention , Hirohito did not mention the Soviets as the main factor for surrender . Depiction , public response , and censorship Play media Life among the rubble in Hiroshima in March and April 1946 . Film footage taken by Lieutenant Daniel A. McGovern ( director ) and Harry Mimura ( cameraman ) for a United States Strategic Bombing Survey project . During the war , the British embassy in Washington reported that Americans regarded the Japanese as `` a nameless mass of vermin '' ; caricatures depicting Japanese as less than human , e.g. monkeys , were common . A 1944 opinion poll that asked what should be done with Japan found that 13 % of the U.S. public were in favor of `` killing off '' all Japanese people . After the Hiroshima bomb detonated successfully , Oppenheimer addressed an assembly at Los Alamos `` clasping his hands together like a prize - winning boxer '' . The bombing amazed Otto Hahn and other German atomic scientists the British held at Farm Hall in Operation Epsilon . Hahn stated that he had not believed an atomic weapon `` would be possible for another twenty years '' ; Werner Heisenberg did not believe the news at first . Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker said `` I think it 's dreadful of the Americans to have done it . I think it is madness on their part '' , but Heisenberg replied , `` One could equally well say ' That 's the quickest way of ending the war ' '' . Hahn was grateful that the German project had not succeeded in developing `` such an inhumane weapon '' ; Karl Wirtz observed that even if it had , `` we would have obliterated London but would still not have conquered the world , and then they would have dropped them on us '' . Hahn told the others , `` Once I wanted to suggest that all uranium should be sunk to the bottom of the ocean '' . The Vatican agreed ; L'Osservatore Romano expressed regret that the bomb 's inventors did not destroy the weapon for the benefit of humanity . Rev. Cuthbert Thicknesse , the Dean of St Albans , prohibited using St Albans Abbey for a thanksgiving service for the war 's end , calling the use of atomic weapons `` an act of wholesale , indiscriminate massacre '' . Nonetheless , news of the atomic bombing was greeted enthusiastically in the U.S. ; a poll in Fortune magazine in late 1945 showed a significant minority of Americans ( 22.7 % ) wishing that more atomic bombs could have been dropped on Japan . The initial positive response was supported by the imagery presented to the public ( mainly the powerful images of the mushroom cloud ) and the censorship of photographs that showed corpses and maimed survivors . Such `` censorship '' was however the status - quo at the time , with no major news outlets depicting corpses or maimed survivors as a result from other events , US or otherwise . On August 10 , 1945 , the day after the Nagasaki bombing , Yōsuke Yamahata , correspondent Higashi and artist Yamada arrived in the city with orders to record the destruction for maximum propaganda purposes , Yamahata took scores of photographs and on August 21 they appeared in Mainichi Shimbun , a popular Japanese newspaper . Wilfred Burchett was the first western journalist to visit Hiroshima after the atom bomb was dropped , arriving alone by train from Tokyo on September 2 , the day of the formal surrender aboard the USS Missouri . His Morse code dispatch was printed by the Daily Express newspaper in London on September 5 , 1945 , entitled `` The Atomic Plague '' , the first public report to mention the effects of radiation and nuclear fallout . Burchett 's reporting was unpopular with the U.S. military . The U.S. censors suppressed a supporting story submitted by George Weller of the Chicago Daily News , and accused Burchett of being under the sway of Japanese propaganda . Laurence dismissed the reports on radiation sickness as Japanese efforts to undermine American morale , ignoring his own account of Hiroshima 's radiation sickness published one week earlier . Play media The Hiroshima ruins in March and April 1946 , by Daniel A. McGovern and Harry Mimura A member of the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey , Lieutenant Daniel McGovern , used a film crew to document the results in early 1946 . The film crew 's work resulted in a three - hour documentary entitled The Effects of the Atomic Bombs Against Hiroshima and Nagasaki . The documentary included images from hospitals showing the human effects of the bomb ; it showed burned out buildings and cars , and rows of skulls and bones on the ground . It was classified `` secret '' for the next 22 years . During this time in America , it was a common practice for editors to keep graphic images of death out of films , magazines , and newspapers . The total of 90,000 ft ( 27,000 m ) of film shot by McGovern 's cameramen had not been fully aired as of 2009 . According to Greg Mitchell , with the 2004 documentary film Original Child Bomb , a small part of that footage managed to reach part of the American public `` in the unflinching and powerful form its creators intended '' . Motion picture company Nippon Eigasha started sending cameramen to Nagasaki and Hiroshima in September 1945 . On October 24 , 1945 , a U.S. military policeman stopped a Nippon Eigasha cameraman from continuing to film in Nagasaki . All Nippon Eigasha 's reels were then confiscated by the American authorities . These reels were in turn requested by the Japanese government , declassified , and saved from oblivion . Some black - and - white motion pictures were released and shown for the first time to Japanese and American audiences in the years from 1968 to 1970 . The public release of film footage of the city post-attack , and some research about the human effects of the attack , was restricted during the occupation of Japan , and much of this information was censored until the signing of the San Francisco Peace Treaty in 1951 , restoring control to the Japanese . Only the most politically charged and detailed weapons effects information was censored during this period . The Hiroshima - based magazine , Chugoku Bunka for example , in its first issue published March 10 , 1946 , devotes itself to detailing the damage from the bombing . Similarly , there was no censorship of the factually written witness accounts , the book Hiroshima written by Pulitzer Prize winner John Hersey , which was originally published in article form in the popular magazine The New Yorker , on August 31 , 1946 , is reported to have reached Tokyo in English by January 1947 , and the translated version was released in Japan in 1949 . The book narrates the stories of the lives of six bomb survivors from immediately prior to , and months after , the dropping of the Little Boy bomb . Beginning in 1974 a compilation of drawings and artwork made by the survivors of the bombings began to be compiled , with completion in 1977 and under both book and exhibition format , it was titled The Unforgettable Fire . Post-attack casualties See also : Epidemiology data for low - linear energy transfer radiation Play media Silent film footage taken in Hiroshima in March 1946 showing survivors with severe burns and keloid scars . Although most all survivors with burns also had burns compounded by the conventional fires that were lit after the bombing , this footage was primarily made with the survivors being asked to stand in the orientation they were in at the time of the nuclear thermal / flash , to document and convey the relatively unique line - of - sight nature of flash burns , and to show that , much like a sunburn , thick clothing and fabric offered complete protection in many cases . The sometimes extensive burn scar contracture that is also seen particularly around joints , is not unusual , being common to all 2nd and 3rd degree burns when they cover a large area of skin . The film also features a small number of completely unburnt survivors who were included in the film to show the recovery made by those whose hair had previously fallen out from the effects of acute radiation syndrome but by the time of filming , they had recovered . In the spring of 1948 , the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission ( ABCC ) was established in accordance with a presidential directive from Truman to the National Academy of Sciences -- National Research Council to conduct investigations of the late effects of radiation among the survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki . One of the early studies conducted by the ABCC was on the outcome of pregnancies occurring in Hiroshima and Nagasaki , and in a control city , Kure , located 18 mi ( 29 km ) south of Hiroshima , in order to discern the conditions and outcomes related to radiation exposure . Dr. James V. Neel led the study which found that the number of birth defects was not significantly higher among the children of survivors who were pregnant at the time of the bombings . Neel also studied the longevity of the children who survived the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , reporting that between 90 and 95 percent were still living 50 years later . The National Academy of Sciences questioned Neel 's procedure which did not filter the Kure population for possible radiation exposure . Overall , while a statistically insignificant increase in birth defects occurred directly after the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima , Neel and others noted that in approximately 50 humans who were of an early gestational age at the time of the bombing and who were all within about 1 km from the hypocenter , an increase in microencephaly and anencephaly was observed upon birth , with the incidence of these two particular malformations being nearly 3 times what was to be expected when compared to the control group in Kure . In 1985 , Johns Hopkins University human geneticist James F. Crow examined Neel 's research and confirmed that the number of birth defects was not significantly higher in Hiroshima and Nagasaki . Many members of the ABCC and its successor Radiation Effects Research Foundation ( RERF ) were still looking for possible birth defects or other causes among the survivors decades later , but found no evidence that they were more common among the survivors . Despite the insignificance of birth defects found in Neel 's study and the detailed medical literature , up to 1987 , historians such as Ronald E. Powaski frequently wrote that Hiroshima experienced `` an increase in stillbirths , birth defects , and infant mortality '' following the atomic bomb . As cancers do not immediately emerge after exposure to radiation instead radiation - induced cancer has a minimum latency period of some 5 + years . An epidemiology study by the RERF estimates that from 1950 to 2000 , 46 % of leukemia deaths and 11 % of solid cancers of unspecificed lethality , could be due to radiation from the bombs , with the statistical excess being 200 leukemia deaths and 1,700 solid cancers of undeclared lethality . Both of these statistics being derived from the observation of approximately half of the total survivors , strictly those who took part in the study . Hibakusha Main article : Hibakusha See also : Hibakujumoku The survivors of the bombings are called hibakusha ( 被爆 者 , Japanese pronunciation : ( çibakɯ̥ɕa ) ) , a Japanese word that literally translates to `` explosion - affected people '' . The Japanese government has recognized about 650,000 people as hibakusha . As of March 31 , 2017 , 164,621 are still alive , mostly in Japan . The government of Japan recognizes about 1 % of these as having illnesses caused by radiation . The memorials in Hiroshima and Nagasaki contain lists of the names of the hibakusha who are known to have died since the bombings . Updated annually on the anniversaries of the bombings , as of August 2017 the memorials record the names of almost 485,000 hibakusha ; 308,725 in Hiroshima and 175,743 in Nagasaki . Panoramic view of the monument marking the hypocenter , or ground zero , of the atomic bomb explosion over Nagasaki Hibakusha and their children were ( and still are ) victims of severe discrimination in Japan due to public ignorance about the consequences of radiation sickness , with much of the public believing it to be hereditary or even contagious . This is despite the fact that no statistically demonstrable increase of birth defects or congenital malformations was found among the later conceived children born to survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki . A study of the long - term psychological effects of the bombings on the survivors found that even 17 -- 20 years after the bombings had occurred survivors showed a higher prevalence of anxiety and somatization symptoms . Double survivors On March 24 , 2009 , the Japanese government officially recognized Tsutomu Yamaguchi as a double hibakusha . He was confirmed to be 3 km ( 1.9 mi ) from ground zero in Hiroshima on a business trip when Little Boy was detonated . He was seriously burnt on his left side and spent the night in Hiroshima . He arrived at his home city of Nagasaki on August 8 , the day before Fat Man was dropped , and he was exposed to residual radiation while searching for his relatives . He was the first officially recognized survivor of both bombings . He died on January 4 , 2010 , at the age of 93 , after a battle with stomach cancer . The 2006 documentary Twice Survived : The Doubly Atomic Bombed of Hiroshima and Nagasaki documented 165 nijū hibakusha ( lit . double explosion - affected people ) , and was screened at the United Nations . Korean survivors See also : Anti-Korean sentiment § Japan During the war , Japan brought as many as 670,000 Korean conscripts to Japan to work as forced labor . About 5,000 -- 8,000 Koreans were killed in Hiroshima and another 1,500 -- 2,000 died in Nagasaki . For many years , Korean survivors had a difficult time fighting for the same recognition as Hibakusha as afforded to all Japanese survivors , a situation which resulted in the denial of the free health benefits to them . Most issues were eventually addressed in 2008 through lawsuits . Debate over bombings Main article : Debate over the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Citizens of Hiroshima walk by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial , the closest building to have survived the city 's atomic bombing . The role of the bombings in Japan 's surrender and the U.S. 's ethical justification for them has been the subject of scholarly and popular debate for decades . J. Samuel Walker wrote in an April 2005 overview of recent historiography on the issue , `` the controversy over the use of the bomb seems certain to continue . '' He wrote that `` The fundamental issue that has divided scholars over a period of nearly four decades is whether the use of the bomb was necessary to achieve victory in the war in the Pacific on terms satisfactory to the United States . '' Supporters of the bombings generally assert that they caused the Japanese surrender , preventing casualties on both sides during Operation Downfall . One figure of speech , `` One hundred million ( subjects of the Japanese Empire ) will die for the Emperor and Nation '' , served as a unifying slogan , although that phrase was intended as a figure of speech along the lines of the `` ten thousand years '' phrase . In Truman 's 1955 Memoirs , `` he states that the atomic bomb probably saved half a million U.S. lives -- anticipated casualties in an Allied invasion of Japan planned for November . Stimson subsequently talked of saving one million U.S. casualties , and Churchill of saving one million American and half that number of British lives . '' Scholars have pointed out various alternatives that could have ended the war without an invasion , but these alternatives could have resulted in the deaths of many more Japanese . Supporters also point to an order given by the Japanese War Ministry on August 1 , 1944 , ordering the execution of Allied prisoners of war when the POW camp was in the combat zone . Those who oppose the bombings cite a number of reasons for their view , among them : a belief that atomic bombing is fundamentally immoral , that the bombings counted as war crimes , that they were militarily unnecessary , that they constituted state terrorism , and that they involved racism against and the dehumanization of the Japanese people . The bombings were part of an already fierce conventional bombing campaign . This , together with the naval blockade , could also have eventually led to a Japanese surrender . At the time the United States dropped its atomic bomb on Nagasaki on August 9 , 1945 , the Soviet Union launched a surprise attack with 1.6 million troops against the Kwantung Army in Manchuria . `` The Soviet entry into the war '' , argued Japanese historian Tsuyoshi Hasegawa , `` played a much greater role than the atomic bombs in inducing Japan to surrender because it dashed any hope that Japan could terminate the war through Moscow 's mediation '' . Another popular view among critics of the bombings , originating with Gar Alperovitz in 1965 and becoming the default position in Japanese school history textbooks , is the idea of atomic diplomacy : that the United States used nuclear weapons in order to intimidate the Soviet Union in the early stages of the Cold War .

Los Alamos National Laboratory . Retrieved March 9 , 2014 . describes how various values were recorded for the B - 29 's altitude at the moment of bomb release over Hiroshima . The strike report said 30,200 ft , the official history said 31,600 ft , Commander Parson 's log entry was 32,700 ft , and the navigator 's log was 31,060 ft -- the latter possibly an error transposing two digits . A later calculation using the indicated atmospheric pressure arrived at the figure of 32,200 ft . Similarly , several values have been reported as the altitude of the Little Boy bomb at the moment of detonation . Published sources vary in the range of 1,800 to 2,000 ft ( 550 to 610 m ) above the city . The device was set to explode at 1,885 ft ( 575 m ) , but this was approximate . Malik uses the figure of 1,903 ft ( 580 m ) plus or minus 50 ft ( 15 m ) , determined after data review by Hubbell et al 1969 . Radar returns from the tops of multistory buildings near the hypocenter may have triggered the detonation at a somewhat higher altitude than planned . Kerr et al. ( 2005 ) found that a detonation altitude of 600 m ( 1,968.5 ft ) , plus or minus 20 m ( 65.6 ft ) , gave the best fit for all the measurement discrepancies .

-8358935196705567610 | Mayberry | Mayberry - wikipedia Mayberry This article is about the fictional setting for The Andy Griffith Show . For other uses , see Mayberry ( disambiguation ) . This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( March 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Mayberry , North Carolina is a fictitious community that was the setting for two popular American television sitcoms , The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry R.F.D. Mayberry was also the setting for a 1986 reunion television movie titled Return to Mayberry . Mayberry is said to be based on Andy Griffith 's hometown of Mount Airy , North Carolina . Mount Airy is also known as Mayberry and this town is known by both names to the people who reside there . Contents 1 The name `` Mayberry '' 2 Specific features 3 Mayberrians 4 Archetypal small town 4.1 Real - life models 4.1. 1 Origins and expansion 4.2 Eponymous real life community 5 Town landmarks 5.1 Public buildings 5.1. 1 Houses 5.2 Entertainment venues 5.3 Commercial buildings 5.3. 1 Places to eat 5.3. 1.1 Lodging 5.4 Physical landmarks 6 In popular culture 7 References 8 External links The name `` Mayberry '' ( edit ) According to show episodes , the community of Mayberry was named for fictional founder Lord Mayberry . Historically , the word Mayberry is of Anglo - Saxon origin and is a locational name , a dialectical variant of the placename Maesbury in Shropshire . Purportedly , Andy Griffith himself chose the name of the fictional community . Griffith , however , told Larry King in 2003 that Artie Stander is the person who thought of the name Mayberry ; Stander was one of the show 's creators and writers . Mayberry is a real community in Patrick County , Virginia , located 22 miles northeast of Andy Griffith 's hometown of Mount Airy , North Carolina . The Mayberry Trading Post , home of the Mayberry , Virginia , post office until it closed in 1922 , told local TV station WGHP - TV that Griffith and his father made many trips to the Mayberry Trading Post . Griffith incorporated several community places and names from his childhood home into the show . The term `` Mayberry '' is mentioned many times in television shows such as Cheers , House , M.D. , Criminal Minds , Supernatural , How I Met Your Mother , and Scrubs . According to the episode `` The Battle of Mayberry '' , the town was almost named Taylortown in honor of Colonel Carleton Taylor , who was one of the first settlers in the town . There actually is a Taylortown in North Carolina , but it has nothing to do with the fictional town of Mayberry or the show . Specific features ( edit ) Mayberry had one traffic light and little in the way of indigenous crime with the exception perhaps of moonshining and bootlegging . Out - of - town bank robbers , scam artists , escaped convicts , and vagrants occasionally found their way to Mayberry . The county and the town share the same name and jurisdiction . In episode 44 `` Sheriff Barney '' , the mayor of nearby Greendale relates that Mayberry County has had the lowest crime rate in the state for two years in a row under Sheriff Taylor . The town only had one long - distance telephone line , as referenced in the episode `` Man in a Hurry '' , that two old ladies shared each Sunday preventing others from using the telephone . In the opening scene of season 8 , episode 30 ( the last episode ) , a sign at the railroad station lists the population and elevation of Mayberry : Population : 5,360 Elevation : 671 However , this conflicts with the comment made by choir director John Masters to Andy Taylor , that `` there 's got to be a decent tenor in a town of two - thousand people '' in the episode The Song Festers - season 4 , episode 20 . And , in season 7 , episode 23 ( `` The Statue '' ) , Howard Sprague refers to a population of 1,800 . Mayberrians ( edit ) Andy does his part for the Mayberry town band .

Thompson ) , security guard Archetypal small town ( edit ) Real - life models ( edit ) Many assume Mayberry was loosely based on Andy Griffith 's hometown of Mount Airy , North Carolina , but actually , Griffith has indicated that nearby Pilot Mountain , also in Surry County , North Carolina , inspired him in creating the town . Pilot Mountain likely was the inspiration for the fictional town of `` Mount Pilot '' , a nearby larger town in relation to Mayberry , often referred to and occasionally visited by the characters in The Andy Griffith Show . The county seat of Surry County is in Dobson ; thus , this is the location of the nearest courthouse to Mount Airy . One episode has a fictional nearby location - `` Pierce County '' . Another episode has Barney Fife referring to Sheriff Taylor and himself as `` the law west of Mount Pilot '' . Other place names used in the show refer to actual places in North Carolina , such as Raleigh -- which was also often called `` Capital City '' -- Siler City , Greensboro , Winston - Salem , Chapel Hill , Stokes County , Elm City and Charlotte . One of the stars of the show , Frances Bavier ( who played Aunt Bee ) retired to Siler City in real life . In episode 249 `` A Girl For Goober '' , the towns of Manteo and Toast are mentioned . Andy Griffith owned a home in Manteo ( on North Carolina 's Atlantic coast ) , and Toast is about two miles outside of Mt . Airy in Surry County . Stokes County , which borders Surry County to the east , is mentioned as the location of Myers Lake in episode 140 `` Andy And Helen Have Their Day '' . In episode 62 `` Cousin Virgil '' , the bus picks up Barney 's cousin in Currituck . A Currituck County is located in eastern North Carolina . In episode 17 `` Alcohol And Old Lace '' while looking for moonshine stills , Barney suggests looking into Fancy Gap , Virginia , a town just across the state line from Mt . Airy . In episode 60 `` Bookie Barber '' , Aunt Bee states that Floyd 's Barber Shop has received phone calls from as far away as Morehead City . In episode 136 `` Opie 's Fortune '' , a man from Bannertown lost $50 . Bannertown is a few miles from Mt . Airy in Surry County . In episode 68 `` Barney Mends a Broken Heart '' , the towns of Harnett and Yancey are mentioned . Both a Harnett County and a Yancey County are in North Carolina . In episode 3 `` The Guitar Player '' played by James Best , who later played Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane on The Dukes of Hazzard , Best 's character Jim Lindsey buys his guitar picks in Winston - Salem , which is actually the nearest big city to Mount Airy ( 37 miles ) . Origins and expansion ( edit ) Mayberry originated in an episode of The Danny Thomas Show and was the setting for The Andy Griffith Show , Mayberry RFD , and the 1986 reunion movie Return to Mayberry . Although the county seat of an agricultural county , black people were sometimes seen in the original series , but more often seen on RFD . Eponymous real life community ( edit ) Mayberry is the name of a real community in Patrick County , Virginia ; located 22 miles northeast of Andy Griffith 's hometown of Mount Airy , North Carolina . The Mayberry Trading Post , home of the Mayberry , Virginia post office until it closed in 1922 , told local TV station WGHP - TV that Griffith and his father made many trips to the Mayberry Trading Post . Town landmarks ( edit ) Public buildings ( edit ) The Mayberry Courthouse was where Sheriff Andy Taylor and Deputy Barney Fife maintained law and order . It also contained the county jail -- two cells , a back room , and the mayor 's office upstairs . No inside stairs are seen , although there is an outside fire escape . Aside from Andy Taylor 's home , this was the main setting for The Andy Griffith Show . Mayberry Savings Bank , the town 's only bank , was often subject to robberies . It contains a large vault , and its only security guard is a senile man named Asa , who is constantly sleeping and whose fall - apart dilapidated gun is filled with moldy bullets . An interesting plot hole about the vault : in one episode , the vault combination was lost so an extra door was put in the vault . But in another episode , Barney Fife gets himself locked in the safe and only escapes by breaking the wall between the vault and the next - door beauty parlor . U.S. Post Office -- the town 's only post office Mayberry Union High School -- the high school from which Andy and Barney graduated in 1948 . In the episode `` The Return of Barney Fife '' , which originally aired 01 / 10 / 1966 , Barney and Andy attend their high school reunion . Behind the small orchestra playing during the dance hangs a banner that reads `` Welcome Class of ' 48 '' . However , in the episode `` Class Reunion '' , which originally aired 02 / 04 / 1963 Andy and Barney organize a class reunion in which the banner reads `` Class of ' 45 '' . Houses ( edit ) Taylor House is a humble , yet handsome , two - story frame house at 332 Maple Road ( though once noted by Barney to be on Elm St . ) , a short walk from the courthouse . Notable features include a front porch perfect for conversation and guitar playing , a back porch with an extra refrigerator , and a living room with a high ceiling and rough - hewn ( rusticated ashlar ) stone fireplace . Mrs. Mendalbright 's Rooming House -- Barney Fife boards upstairs and his landlady is Mrs. Mendalbright . Thelma Lou 's House -- the home of Thelma Lou , Barney 's girlfriend Helen Crump 's House -- the home of Helen Crump , Andy 's girlfriend and Opie 's teacher Mrs. Wiley 's House -- the home of Mrs. Wiley , which is frequently subject to parties , two of which were crashed by Ernest T. Bass The Rimshaw House -- the `` haunted '' house of the deceased Old Man Rimshaw where Otis Campbell and Big Jack Anderson were running a still Entertainment venues ( edit ) The Grand Theatre -- The movie theater where Andy and Barney often took their girlfriends ( Helen Crump and Thelma Lou , respectively ) on dates Commercial buildings ( edit ) Walker 's Drug Store -- This was the town drug store and soda shop owned by Fred Walker . His niece Ellie ( Elinor Donahue ) , also a pharmacist , worked there for a while and was Andy 's first girlfriend on the show . In the early episodes , characters often talked about `` going to Walker 's for an ice cream soda . '' Floyd 's Barber Shop -- Run by the scatterbrained Floyd Lawson , it was the main center of action in Mayberry . On any given day , it was not unusual to see many of the town 's important figures , including the mayor and the sheriff , gathered here . Foley 's Grocery -- Run by Mr. Foley , it was where Aunt Bee and her friends shopped . Emmett 's Fix - it Shop -- handyman Emmett Clark 's business replaced Floyd 's when Howard McNear left the show . Weaver 's Department Store -- run by the miserly Ben Weaver Wally 's Filling Station -- The town 's only known gas station , it employed cousins Gomer and Goober Pyle . It also served as the town 's auto repair garage . Places to eat ( edit ) Bluebird Diner -- This was the restaurant where Barney was often seen calling to talk to his secret love , the enigmatic waitress `` Juanita '' . A man named Frank owns the diner . It is located on the outskirts of Mayberry , near Myer 's Lake . Mount Airy has a family - owned restaurant called the Bluebird Diner . Snappy Lunch -- a Mayberry diner named after a real eatery that still serves lunch in Mount Airy , North Carolina . Morelli 's - a more upscale restaurant outside of town . Known for it 's special dinner , the pounded steak supper , `` pounded on the premises . '' Lodging ( edit ) Mayberry Hotel -- Where out - of - towners often stayed , the Mayberry Hotel was also where choir director John Masters was employed . Physical landmarks ( edit ) Myer 's Lake -- As seen in the opening credits of The Andy Griffith Show , it was the place Andy and Opie Taylor went fishing , and where Barney often drove with Thelma Lou for their `` romantic getaways '' . The fictional lake was mentioned on the show as being located in Stokes County , North Carolina . Stokes County is a real county next to Surry County where Andy Griffith was born and raised . Franklin Canyon Park was used for filming . In popular culture ( edit ) Due to the success and fame of the television show , `` Mayberry '' has been used as a term for both idyllic small - town life and for rural simplicity ( for both good and ill ) .

"Mayberry, North Carolina is a fictitious community that was the setting for two popular American television sitcoms, The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry R.F.D. Mayberry was also the setting for a 1986 reunion television movie titled Return to Mayberry. Mayberry is said to be based on Andy Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy, North Carolina. Mount Airy is also known as Mayberry and this town is known by both names to the people who reside there.\n"

For other uses , see Some Enchanted Evening ( disambiguation ) . `` Some Enchanted Evening '' Song from South Pacific Published 1949 Songwriter ( s ) Oscar Hammerstein II Composer ( s ) Richard Rodgers `` Some Enchanted Evening '' is a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific . It is `` the single biggest popular hit to come out of any Rodgers and Hammerstein show . '' It is a three - verse solo for the leading male character , Emile , in which he describes seeing a stranger , knowing that he will see her again , and dreaming of her laughter . He sings that when you find your `` true love '' , you must `` fly to her side , / And make her your own '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 In South Pacific 2 Analysis 3 Selected recorded versions 4 In popular culture 5 Notes 6 References 7 External links In South Pacific ( edit ) The song appears in the first act of the musical . It is sung as a solo by the show 's male lead , Emile de Becque , a middle - aged French expatriate who has become a plantation owner on a South Pacific island during World War II . Emile falls in love with Ensign Nellie Forbush , an optimistic and naive young American navy nurse from Little Rock , Arkansas . The two have known each other for only a few weeks , and each worries that the other may not return his or her love . Emile expresses his romantic feelings for Nellie , recalling how they met at an officers ' club dance and instantly were attracted to each other . He asks her to marry him . In the song , he describes a man seeing a stranger and instantly knowing he will see her again , hearing her laughter and dreaming of it . He says that when you find your `` true love '' , you must `` fly to her side , / And make her your own '' ; otherwise , all your life you will `` dream all alone '' . The song is then reprised several times during the show by Nellie and / or Emile as their relationship experiences setbacks and reconciliations . In the original Broadway production , `` Some Enchanted Evening '' was sung by former Metropolitan Opera bass Ezio Pinza . Pinza won the Tony Award for Best Actor in 1950 for this role , and the song made him a favorite with audiences and listeners who normally did not attend or listen to opera . In the 2001 London revival of the show , Philip Quast won an Olivier Award for Best Actor for his role as Emile , and seven years later , international opera singer Paulo Szot won a Tony for his portrayal in the 2008 New York revival . In the film version of South Pacific , the first and second scenes of the play are switched around . Because of the switch , Emile enters later in the film , and `` Some Enchanted Evening '' is not heard until nearly 45 minutes into the film , while in the original stage version it is heard about 15 minutes after Act I begins . In the film , the song is sung by another Metropolitan Opera bass , Giorgio Tozzi , who dubbed the singing for actor Rossano Brazzi . Tozzi 's version finished at No. 28 on the 2004 American Film Institute list and television special , AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Songs , selecting the top 100 songs in American cinema . Analysis ( edit ) According to Popular Music in America , the song 's `` lush orchestration , expansive form , and above all its soaring melody '' allow the singer and character ( Emile ) to `` linger in the moment '' of immediate infatuation . Gerald Mast 's history of the American musical notes that the song is a climactic moment which reveals that two characters have fallen in love , and it expresses a seize - the - opportunity lyric : `` When you find your true love ... Then fly to her side / And make her your own '' . According to the running commentary on the 2006 Fox DVD release of the 1958 film version of South Pacific , Lehman Engel remembered that Oscar Hammerstein II wanted to write a song based around verbs but waited ten years to do so before he wrote this song , in which the verses are built around the verbs `` see '' , `` hear '' and `` fly '' . Selected recorded versions ( edit ) Many popular singers have recorded and performed `` Some Enchanted Evening '' . Perry Como 's version was a # 1 hit in 1949 , and Frank Sinatra recorded the song several times . Ezio Pinza ( recorded April 18 , 1949 , Original Broadway cast recording of South Pacific ) . His single version reached No. 7 in the Billboard charts in 1949 . Perry Como ( 1949 ) . His single reached No. 1 in 1949 Frank Sinatra ( 1949 ) , ( 1963 ) , ( 1967 ) . The 1949 version reached the No. 6 position in the Billboard charts . Bing Crosby ( 1949 ) , recorded March 10 , 1949 and reached No. 3 in the Billboard charts during a 20 - week stay . Jo Stafford - Autumn in New York ( 1950 ) . Her single version reached No. 4 in the Billboard charts in 1949 . Giorgio Tozzi ( 1958 for the film soundtrack ; 1967 for the Lincoln Center revival cast recording with Florence Henderson ) Jay & The Americans - United Artists 45 ( 1965 ) . The Group 's single version reached No. 13 on the Billboard charts in 1965 . Andy Williams ( from the 1958 album , Andy Williams Sings Rodgers and Hammerstein ) José Carreras ( 1986 ) for a studio cast recording of South Pacific with Kiri Te Kanawa , Mandy Patinkin and Sarah Vaughan Willie Nelson included it on his 1988 album , What a Wonderful World Barbra Streisand ( from her No. 1 1993 album Back to Broadway ) The Temptations ( 1995 , For Lovers Only ) Bryn Terfel -- Something Wonderful : Bryn Terfel Sings Rodgers and Hammerstein ( 1996 ) Philip Quast for the 2002 London revival cast recording of South Pacific Art Garfunkel ( from his 2007 album Some Enchanted Evening ) Paulo Szot -- South Pacific ( The New Broadway Cast ) ( 2008 ) Bob Dylan ( from his No. 1 2015 album Shadows in the Night ) In popular culture ( edit ) The song 's title has been used as the name for albums , such as one by Blue Öyster Cult , one by Art Garfunkel and a cast album and PBS special of the revue `` Some Enchanted Evening '' -- The Songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein . It was used as the name for television episodes in such TV series as The Simpsons , Last of the Summer Wine , Man About the House , and Bless This House . The song has been sung in films and on TV shows , for example by Harrison Ford in the film American Graffiti ( 1978 reissue ) , by an itinerant chanteuse in Crossing Delancey ( 1988 ) , by Jon Bon Jovi on Ally McBeal in the episode `` Homecoming '' ( 2002 ) and by Bert in episode 102 on the Muppet Show ( 1977 ) to Connie Stevens .

-2477693809305952311 | Road surface marking | Road surface marking - wikipedia Road surface marking Jump to : navigation , search It has been suggested that Yellow line ( road marking ) be merged into this article . ( Discuss ) Proposed since December 2016 . The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the English - speaking world and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject . You may improve this article , discuss the issue on the talk page , or create a new article , as appropriate . ( April 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Yellow line road marking Road marking machine working in Kenya , March 2012 . Road marking machine working in Bahrain , December 2012 . Road surface marking is any kind of device or material that is used on a road surface in order to convey official information ; they are commonly placed with road marking machines ( or road marking equipment , pavement marking equipment ) . They can also be applied in other facilities used by vehicles to mark parking spaces or designate areas for other uses . Road surface markings are used on paved roadways to provide guidance and information to drivers and pedestrians . Uniformity of the markings is an important factor in minimizing confusion and uncertainty about their meaning , and efforts exist to standardize such markings across borders . However , countries and areas categorize and specify road surface markings in different ways -- white lines are called white lines mechanical , non-mechanical , or temporary . They can be used to delineate traffic lanes , inform motorists and pedestrians or serve as noise generators when run across a road , or attempt to wake a sleeping driver when installed in the shoulders of a road . Road surface marking can also indicate regulation for parking and stopping . There is continuous effort to improve the road marking system , and technological breakthroughs include adding retroreflectivity , increasing longevity , and lowering installation cost . Today , road markings are used to convey a range of information to the driver spanning navigational , safety and enforcement issues leading to their use in road environment understanding within advanced driver - assistance systems and consideration for future use in autonomous road vehicles .

Most are permanent ; some are movable . Cat 's eye , invented by Percy Shaw in the 1930s , Cat 's eyes equip many major routes in the British Isles . They consist of four reflective lenses mounted in a durable white rubber housing , two facing fore and two facing aft . The housing is mounted within a cast iron shoe , which the rubber housing sinks in to when driven over . This provides protection from snow ploughing and allows the lenses to be self - cleaning -- they pass a rubber blade when depressed . The lenses are available in a variety of different colours , mainly white , yellow / orange , green , red , and blue . Botts ' dots ( low rounded white dots ) , named for the California Caltrans engineer Elbert Botts , who invented the epoxy that keeps them glued down , are one type of a mechanical non-reflective raised marker . Generally they are used to mark the edges of traffic lanes , frequently in conjunction with raised reflective markers . Botts ' dots are also used across a travel lane to draw the drivers attention to the road . They are frequently used in this way to alert drivers to toll booths , school zones or other significant reduction of speed limit . They are normally only used in warm climates since snow plows usually remove them along with the snow . Raised - profile marking machine Rumble strips are commonly used for the same purpose . A rumble strip can be a series of simple troughs ( typically 1 cm deep and 10 cm wide ) that is ground out of the asphalt . Other alternatives , similar to the Botts ' dots , use raised strips , painted or glued to the surface . A specific form of raised strips using thermoplastic is called profile thermoplastic markings . The markings are created by fusing thermoplastic to the pavement and create alternating elevation and recession pattern . This can be done as inverted - profile markings or raised - profile markings . Inverted - profile markings are created by pressing a cog rolling over the markings while they are wet to make them corrugated . Raised - profile markings are created by extruding extra thickness of thermoplastic at a specific interval to create bumps . Raised - profile markings are sometime known as convex traffic lines . Uses of rumble strips can be across the travel direction ( to warn of hazards ahead ) or along the travel direction ( to warn of hazards of not staying within a specific lane ) . Their main way of function is creating a strong vibration when driven over that will alert a driver to various upcoming hazards both by sound and the physical vibration of the vehicle . In some areas in the United States , these rumble strips are located along the side of county , state , and inter state highways . They are oriented so that a driver wandering off the lane of traffic would come in contact with these strips and be forewarned that they are about to leave the roadway . The idea was first started in Atlanta , as a measure to help truck drivers on the bypass after a number of accidents in the late 1980s involved drivers who became distracted or fell asleep and left the road . White raised pavement marker near `` pea - structure '' side - line on highway surface Reflective markers are used as travel lane dividers , to mark the central reservation ( median ) or to mark exit slip - roads . Incorporating a raised retro - reflective element , they are typically more visible at night and in inclement weather than standard road marking lines . The color of markers varies depending on the country of use ; freeways in the United States often use reflectors manufactured to appear white to drivers proceeding in the proper direction of travel , and appear red on the reverse to warn drivers that they are proceeding against the proper direction of travel , creating a danger of a head - on collision . Reflective markers are also referred to as raised pavement markers , road studs , and sometimes ( generically ) in the UK and Ireland as cat 's eye , although this name refers to one particular brand of product . These markers can be used for other purposes such as marking the locations of fire hydrants ( blue ) or at gates of gated communities to indicate that emergency service vehicles have a code or device that allows them to open the gate . In the United Kingdom and elsewhere , raised markers are used to mark crosswalks ( crossings ) to assist the blind in crossing streets . In colder climates , reflective markers may be installed below ground using an elongated narrow triangle , cut into the road surface that allows the device to be installed below the road surface . Newer technology allows these to be placed above ground with snowplough - able rails that attempt to protect the reflective components from the snowplough blade . Confusion with marks left by roadwork ( edit ) Typical dash marks in the middle of the lane after dowel bar retrofit roadwork Sometimes the result of roadwork may leave visible marks on the pavements . An example is the dowel bar retrofit process to reinforce concrete slabs in order to extend the life of older concrete pavements . The completion of the process leaves a symmetrical pattern of dash marks on the roadway , as if there were an associated meaning to the pattern . When there are many of them along the roadway , motorists may interpret the marks as an unknown form of mechanical markers or strange road surface markings . When roads are under construction and the lanes are shifted laterally , those marks may interfere with temporary lane markings . As the marks from the dowel bar retrofit are not intended to be any form of road surface markings , the responsible agencies try to make these marks less visible to the motorists . Non-mechanical markers ( edit ) Paint ( edit ) Paint , sometimes with additives such as retroreflective glass beads , is generally used to mark travel lanes . It is also used to mark spaces in parking lots or special purpose spaces for disabled parking , loading zones , or time - restricted parking areas . Colors for these applications vary by locality . Paint is a low - cost marking and has been in widespread use since approximately the early 1950s . Paint consists of three main components : pigments , resins or binders , and water or solvents . Pigments are finely grounded materials that give out colors or block out the surface beneath it . They may contain other materials such as UV stabilizer , and fillers which bring out the color pigments to the required level . Resins or binders are the glue of the paint to bind pigment and glass beads together to the road surface . The resins for the water - based paints are polyvinyl acetate latex , methyl methacrylate or acrylic resin . The resins for solvent - based paints are linseed or soya oils and alkyd resins . The pigments and resins are mixed with water for water - based paints and solvents for solvent - based paints so that they can be applied onto the road surface . Solvents that are use can be naphtha , toluene , methanol , methylene chloride , and acetone . Due to environmental concerns , some jurisdictions has some restriction on the solvent - based paints . Pigment Yellow 10 is a common yellow colorant used for road marking on U.S. highways . Paint is usually applied right after the road has been paved . The road is marked commonly by a truck called a `` Striper . '' These trucks contain hundreds of gallons of paint stored in huge drums which sit on the bed . The markings are controlled manually or automatically by the controller who sits on the bed . Paint is run through a series of hoses under air pressure and applied to the roadway surface along with the application of glass beads for retroreflectivity . After application , the paint dries fairly quickly . Sometimes the glass beads are mixed in with the paint and applied together , which is not a recommended method . The usual method is to use a separate gun to spray the glass beads on to the wet paint during the application . Painted symbols , such as turn - lane arrows or HOV lane markers , are applied manually using stencils . Painted markings usually last 9 to 36 months . There are some water - based paints that can be applied at double the level of thickness of typical latex paints . This technique can extend the life of the markings . Stones ( edit ) Stone road marking in a pedestrian crossing in Padua , Italy In roads paved with setts ( like belgian blocks or sampietrini ) or cobblestones , markings can be made with white blocks or stones , like marble or other light - colored rocks . This kind of marking is long lasting , but could be slippery in rain or wet conditions unless surfaced with a matte or rough finish . Thermoplastic ( edit ) One of the most common types of road marking based on its balance between cost and performance longevity , thermoplastic binder systems are generally based on one of three core chemistries : hydrocarbons , rosin esters or maleic modified rosin esters ( MMRE ) . Thermoplastic coatings are generally homogeneous dry mixes of binder resins , plasticizers , glass beads ( or other optics ) , pigments , and fillers . Their use has increased over paints mainly due to the performance benefits of increased durability , retro - reflectivity , and a lack of VOC solvents . Thermoplastic markings are applied using specially designed vehicles . Usually thermoplastic marking mode should apply with equipment called a road marking machine to coat traffic lines , and the road paint needs preheating by a device commonly called a preheater . The thermoplastic mix is heated in trucks to about 200 ° C ( 400 ° F ) before being fed to the application apparatus . This is often a screed box or ribbon gun . Immediately after the thermoplastic has been applied , glass beads are laid onto the hot material so that they embed before the plastic hardens . These beads provide initial retroreflection . As the marking wears during use and the initial beads are lost , the beads mixed with the binder are uncovered , providing long term retroreflectivity . These can be made exceptionally thick to produce a rumble strip effect . The Thermoplastic marking coating sets quickly . The melt adhesion of a synthetic resin makes hot - melt paint adhere strongly to the road surface . Additives in the coating paint increases the coating plasticity , improving the anti-settling , anti-pollution , anti-tarnish . Thermoplastic marking paint is most commonly produced in yellow and white . The white marking paint mainly contains titanium white , zinc oxide , lithopone , while the yellow paint is mainly heat - yellowing lead . In warm climate areas , the thermoplastic markings can last 3 to 6 years . However , snowplows can damage the thermoplastics which would limit the usage in the cold climate areas . The filling materials of road paint can affect the mechanical strength , abrasion resistance and hue of the coating film . The particle size of the paint powder influences the flow , sedimentation , and the surface processing . Preformed thermoplastic ( edit ) Preformed thermoplastic markings ready to be applied to the road surface with a blow torch in Brussels , Belgium Preformed thermoplastic pavement markings ( sometime called `` tape '' , but not to be confused with preformed polymer tape ) are thermoplastic cut into the final shapes by the manufacturers and ready to position onto an asphalt or concrete pavement surface . Preformed thermoplastics are put into place on the road surface and applied using a propane heat torch . Some models require heating the road surface prior to the placement of the preformed thermoplastics . These markings are used primarily because of their durability and cost - effective service life . Since the plastics are melted into the surface , they are not easily damaged by the snowplows . Typically , the preformed thermoplastic markings can last 3 to 6 years . The most common applications of preformed thermoplastic pavement markings are found at intersections as transverse markings such as stop lines , legends , crosswalks , arrows , bike lane symbols , and accessibility symbols . Preformed polymer tape ( edit ) Preformed polymer tapes used for crosswalk markings in a street of New York City . Notice a tape failure on the left most stripe . Commonly referred to as tape or cold plastic , this product is heavy - grade material with reflective beads embedded in the plastic . It is commonly used to mark crosswalks , stop bars , and traffic guidance such as turn lanes , HOV lanes , train crossings , pedestrian crossings , taxi lanes , bus lanes , and bike lanes . There are two ways to apply tape : Overlay -- The application being laid over the surface of the pavement . Using industrial - grade rubber cement , once the tape is combined with the pavement , it should last three years . Major obstacles to estimated life are snow - plows , salt , and mis - application . Inlay -- The tape physically becomes part of the asphalt . Using the heat generated in the paving process , road workers lay special tape on the asphalt in the hardening process , and rollers compress the two together . The life of the preformed polymer tapes can vary based on the applications . If applied correctly , they can last between 4 and 8 years . However , there have been cases where tape failures start soon after the installation . Conditions that may contribute to the tapes to peel off are the time of year of the installation that is too close to the winter , surface preparation , and workmanship . A technique that can be used to minimize the tape getting scraped off by snowplows is sandblasting a groove into the surface and fixing the tape onto this groove . This technique diminishes the advantage of low labor cost of the tapes . The preformed polymer tape markings are slippery when wet , especially in large sections such as crosswalks , and caution should be used due to poor wet traction . Epoxy ( edit ) Epoxy contains two parts which are a pigmented resin base and catalyst . The two parts are mixed in a specialized truck for epoxy marking application . The epoxy is then heated prior to spraying onto road surface . Retroreflective glass beads are applied using a separate bead gun behind the epoxy spray gun . Typically , epoxy markings last about 4 years . Epoxy has been in use since the late 1970s and has gained popularity over the 1990s as the technology has become more affordable and reliable . This material competes directly with plastic with respect to usage and cost . Negative impacts to road surface ( edit ) Road surface raveling and potholes found exclusively along pavement markings Non-mechanical markers are found to contribute to the deterioration of asphalt concrete road surface courses . The paint and tape markers can cause the road surface to crack , and in more severe cases , the markers contribute to road surface raveling ( a process in which the aggregate particles are dislodged from the road surface , causing the surface texture to become deeply pitted and very rough ) or potholes . This type of surface damage can be found exclusively underneath the pavement markings such as lane markings and turn - lane arrows . There is no definitive explanation of the relationship between pavement markings and surface deterioration , but there are several hypotheses . One is that water vapor may have been trapped underneath the road surface markings , causing the de-bonding of asphalt binder from the aggregate materials . Another hypothesis is that the reflectivity of the markings may create differences in solar heating and thermal expansion strains between the areas with and without markings . Small flaws caused by differential strains may be combined into longitudinal cracks along the markings . There are certain surface treatments that can make the road surface less susceptible to this type of distresses , such as slurry seals and stone mastic asphalt . Road marking technique ( edit ) Hot melt road marking paint is a solid powder at room temperature . The thermoplastic paint is melted in a specialized machine called a thermoplastic heater - mixer , before being transferred into the paint tank of a marker . Larger marking machines may have internal heater - mixers . The molten coating is introduced into an insulated marking bucket . The market bucket leads to a marking shoe that applies the material . Moving the shoe forward pulls a thin layer of paint onto the road . The thickness of this layer is controlled by the gap between the marking shoe and the road . A specialized attachment can spread an even layer of glass beads onto the paint as it is deposited . Machine marking types ( edit ) Air spray is a method of marking that uses compressed air to spray the paint onto the road surface . The finely atomized paint produces a thin and smooth layer , but the rebounding air flow causes significant paint scattering . This produces somewhat sloppy markings . High - pressure airless spraying uses a high - pressure airless pump to spray the paint . The atomized paint is not so fine and smooth as air spray , but there is no high speed air flow to scatter any rebounding paint . The marked lines are neat . This method can apply paints of high viscosity , and apply relatively thick layers in a single pass . Auxiliary equipment ( edit ) Other equipment is often used with road marking machines . The main auxiliary equipment includes thermoplastic paint pre-heaters , hand - push pre-markers and road marking removers . Thermoplastic paint pre-heater is used to melt the solid powder coating into a viscous liquid , providing a steady supply of paint to the marking machine . Pre-markers are used to draw a field sketch in advance to avoid faulty marking . Road marking removers are used to remove old or incorrect markings . Large self - propelled machines usually do not need any support equipment , as equivalent functionality is built in . Temporary markers ( edit ) Pylons are sometimes used to separate HOV lanes from regular traffic lanes . They are also used in areas where lanes are used at different times for travel in both directions . These pylons have shafts that drop into holes in the road surface . A good example of this type of use was the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco , before they switched to a moveable barrier system . Removable tapes can also be used in road construction sites as temporary markers . The tapes can be placed to shift the lanes and black tapes can be used to temporarily blackout the existing markings . At the end of the constructions or within 6 months , the tapes can be pulled out off the surface without using heat , solvents , or machines . Country specific information ( edit ) The americas ( edit ) Most countries in North and South America have yellow lines separating traffic directions . However , Chile uses white lines . Canada ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( January 2009 ) Generally speaking , Canadian pavement marking standards are consistent with those used throughout the United States . Yellow lines are used to separate traffic moving in opposite directions , and white lines are used to separate traffic moving in the same direction , and on the shoulders of paved roads . On one - directional roads , a yellow line appears on the left shoulder , and a white line on the right shoulder . Passing rules are denoted by dashed lines as in the United States . Orange painted lines are sometimes used when the direction of the road is altered temporarily for construction projects . However , the colour scheme was reversed before 1971 , when white was formerly used to denote the separation of opposing traffic , and yellow lines , when used , to denote the separation of the paved road from the right - hand shoulder . Canada adopted similar road marking standards to conform with those adopted in the USA between 1971 and 1978 . Broken lines that are wider and closer together than regular broken lines are called continuity lines . Continuity lines on the left side of a lane denote that the lane is about to end and that motorists must soon merge left . Continuity lines on the right mean that the lane will continue , but traffic may merge into it ahead . In some areas , reflective markers ( cat 's eyes ) recessed into the pavement are used , especially approaching curves in the road . Ontario has several pavement marking test areas located in various parts of the province . Perhaps the most well - known location is the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 near Belleville . Other test sites are located on the westbound lanes on Highway 417 , east of Ottawa , Highway 60 West of Renfrew , Highway 28 east of Bancroft , Highway 400 North of Honey Harbour and on Highway 37 , South of Tweed . Pavement marking manufacturers from around the world supply a variety of materials for these sites to have their products evaluated and approved for use on provincial highways . United States ( edit ) Dead Man 's Curve along the Marquette -- Negaunee Road in Marquette County , Michigan , shown in 1917 with its hand - painted center line . In the United States , the first documented use of a painted center line was in 1911 along Trenton 's River Road in Wayne County , Michigan . According to the state of Michigan , the idea of using a painted center line was conceived in 1911 by Edward N. Hines , the chairman of the Wayne County , Michigan , Board of Roads , after watching a leaky milk wagon leave a white trail along a road . Hines was the fifth recipient of the George S. Bartlett Award for Highway Progress , and was inducted posthumously in 1972 into the Michigan Transportation Hall of Honor for his innovation , and was honored in 2011 with the first Paul Mijksenaar Design for Function Award . In 1917 , the idea of using painted center lines on rural state highways was conceived and / or put into action in at least three states ( Michigan , Oregon , and California ) , apparently completely independent of one another . At some point in 1917 , a white highway center line was painted along `` Dead Man 's Curve '' on what is now County Road 492 in Marquette County , Michigan , under the direction of Kenneth Ingalls Sawyer , who served as engineer - superintendent of the Marquette County Road Commission . Sawyer was inducted posthumously into the Michigan Transportation Hall of Honor in 1973 . In Oregon in April 1917 , a yellow center line was painted down the center of the Columbia River Highway , between Crown Point and Multnomah Falls , at the direction of Multnomah County Sheriff 's Deputy Peter Rexford . Later in 1917 , the same line was continued west of Crown Point . Rexford first conceived the idea of a yellow center line in early 1917 while riding on a bus from Salem , Oregon on a dark and rainy night , and advocated it as a safety measure on the Columbia River Highway , which Rexford patrolled as a traffic officer . When Multnomah County declined to fund the project , Rexford 's boss , Chief Deputy Martin T. Pratt ( later elected Sheriff ) , paid for the paint out of his own pocket so that the center line could be painted . Rexford later described the April 1917 line as the `` first yellow center line ever painted on pavement '' in the United States . An article published in The Oregonian upon Rexford 's retirement claimed that a contest with a $10,000 reward was once held to determine the originator of the highway center line , but the contest was scrapped when information from Europe revealed that ancient civilizations had used white bricks to mark the center lines of their streets . In the fall of 1917 , Dr. June McCarroll of Indio , California developed the idea of white center lines and began advocating for their use , after she was run off the road by a truck while driving along a highway that would later be incorporated into U.S. Route 99 . Dr. McCarroll soon communicated her idea to the local chamber of commerce and the Riverside County Board of Supervisors , with no success . She then took it upon herself to hand - paint a white stripe down the middle of the road , thus establishing the actual width of the lane to prevent similar accidents . In 2002 , a portion of Interstate 10 was designated and signed as `` The Doctor June McCarroll Memorial Freeway '' in her honor . The question of which color to use for highway center lines in the United States enjoyed considerable debate and changing standards over a period of several decades . By November 1954 , 47 states had adopted white as their standard color for highway centerlines , with Oregon being the last holdout to use yellow . In 1958 , the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads adopted white as the standard color for the new interstate highway system . The 1971 edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices , however , mandated yellow as the standard color of center lines nationwide . The changeover to the 1971 MUTCD standards took place between 1971 and 1975 , with most done by the end of 1973 , so for two years drivers still had to use the old and new . Yellow was adopted because it was already the standard color of warning signs , and because it was easy to teach drivers to associate yellow lines with dividing opposing traffic and white lines with dividing traffic in the same direction . In turn , this simple mnemonic device greatly reduced head - on collisions and improved road traffic safety . The major downside to the MUTCD white - yellow system is that yellow has slightly less contrast than white , especially at night , so for maximum contrast , bright yellow -- and highly toxic -- lead chromate was used to paint yellow lines through the end of the 20th century . As a result , U.S. transportation workers must take special precautions when disturbing or removing yellow lane markings . A typical stretch of Valencia Boulevard in Valencia , California , where the lanes are marked only by Botts ' dots . In the U.S. , the type , placement , and graphic standards of traffic signs , and road surfaces are legally regulated -- the Federal Highway Administration 's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices is the standard , although each state produces its own manual based upon the Federal manual . Generally white lane markings indicate a separation between lanes traveling in the same direction while yellow markings indicate opposing traffic on the other side of the line . In some areas , such as Colorado and Florida , black material is applied on the surface before a shorter white line is painted . This improves the contrast of the marking against `` white '' pavements , such as concrete or faded asphalt . In California , Botts ' dots are commonly used to mark lanes on most freeways . A large number of California cities also use Botts ' dots on some ( or all ) major arterial roads . The notable exception is the city of Los Angeles which only uses paint . In California and Nevada , the reflectors when present are usually the lines , and no paint is used for additional markings . Exceptions include : freeways built from white concrete where painted stripes are added to make the lanes more visible through sun glare , freeways built so wide that the risk of drifting is minimal ( e.g. , Interstate 5 in the Central Valley ) , and freeways in areas where it snows in the winter ( since the snowplows would scrape off the Botts ' dots ) . In general , single broken lines mean passing or lane changing is allowed , single solid white lines mean lane changing is discouraged but not prohibited , and double solid white lines mean it is prohibited , as it often is in tunnels . On two - lane roads , a single broken center line means that passing is allowed in either direction , a double solid center line means passing is prohibited in both directions , and the combination of a solid line with a broken line means that passing is allowed only from the side with the broken line and prohibited from the side with the solid line . The solid white line on the right side is called the Fog Line used to help cars stay in their lane during foggy conditions and help pedestrians stay off the road Marked crosswalks are indicated at a minimum by a pair of white lines . On major boulevards , crosswalks are further highlighted by zebra stripes , which are large white rectangles in the crosswalk perpendicular to traffic . In order to maximize the longevity of zebra crossing stripes , they are usually applied to correspond with the portions of the lane on which the wheels of a car are not usually traveling , thereby reducing wear on the markings themselves . Pavement markings are used in addition to signs in the United States to designate regular and handicap parking spaces . Regular parking spaces are normally marked with white , although other colors are used . Handicap parking spaces are required to be located within a specified distance of an entrance . Blue markings are used to indicate the parking space is reserved for persons with a disabled parking permit . Asia ( edit ) Hong Kong ( edit ) Road markings in Hong Kong is basically identical with the United Kingdom , with longer dashed white lines to indicate lanes of opposing traffic , and shorter dashed white lines for lanes in the same direction . Solid double white lines are used to indicate that drivers are not permitted to change lanes . A solid white line with a broken white line indicates that crossing the line is allowed from the lane closer to the broken line . Double solid white lines are in place in all tunnels and underpasses . As in the UK , solid yellow lines are painted along the kerbside to indicate that no parking is allowed , with double solid yellow lines meaning no parking is allowed at any time . Zig - zag lines are used on both ends of zebra crossings . Road studs are also used as in the UK . Japan ( edit ) In Japan , white always separates traffic in the same direction or indicates traffic in the same direction can use a buffered area that is striped in crosshatch patterns such as at right turns on two - way roads since Japan is a country that has left - side driving . White is also used on divided expressways with a solid raised center divider . Two - lane expressways where poles are the only physical barrier between opposing directions of travel always have yellow either side of the row of poles , and white is between the yellow striping and the poles . White is also used to denote passing allowed on other two - lane roads . Yellow indicates no passing is allowed . On all roads , yellow stripes are always solid . On expressways where there are many sharp turns and curves , seen especially in the largest cities , a yellow line indicates no passing between lanes , as follows : Solid yellow beside solid white : no entry permitted from the lane the stripe is next to , but passing is permitted with caution . Solid yellow beside broken white : passing is permitted from the side with the broken white line , but not from the side with the yellow line . Solid yellow line alone : passing prohibited from either lane , used on very tight curves and in tunnels . Other markings include in the cities , destination and exit names painted in the lanes , which is done due to the very close proximity of exits , where in many cases it would be impractical to put up many overhead signs , although these are often seen approaching exits , a curved or slanted arrow points to the side of the expressway the exit will be on . A straight arrow following characters indicates the destination of the expressway . Where a solid white line appears between lanes , passing is generally allowed but with caution . Europe ( edit ) Even within the European Union every country has its own standards . Here is the same road section with German - style ( at top ) and French - style ( below ) road markings In general European countries follow the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals , which describes what road signs and road markings shall look like . The convention has some flexibility so road markings vary somewhat between the countries . Most European countries reserve white for routine lane markings of any kind . Yellow is used to mark forbidden parking , such as on bus stops . However , for example Norway has yellow markings separating traffic directions . Many countries use yellow , orange , or red to indicate when lanes are being shifted temporarily to make room for construction projects . In the Netherlands , Germany , Sweden , and the UK , so - called `` naked roads '' have been trialed , whereby all visible road markings , kerbs , traffic lights , and signs are removed , on urban roads . When this was tested in Seend , a village in the UK county of Wiltshire in 2005 , the county council reported that accidents fell by a third , with motorists ' speed falling by an average of 5 % . It has been suggested that naked roads force drivers to make eye contact with other road users , and that it is this nonverbal communication that is responsible for the reduction of accidents . Other have suggested that road markings , especially with middle marker , make the road look like a main road , triggering faster and more relaxed driving , while no marking makes the road look like a lower quality road . It is an experience from the introduction of marking , that at least on narrow roads and in curves , middle lines help make drivers stay on their side when meeting , and therefore reducing meeting accidents . Note that the 2005 experiment was on urban roads . In Sweden , local streets generally have no marking . Netherlands ( edit ) In the Netherlands all general lines are white , while yellow lines are used to mark forbidden stopping ( interrupted yellow ) , forbidden parking ( uninterrupted yellow ) and for temporarily lining at construction projects . Shoulder lines are generally interrupted outside built - up area to make the driver be aware the presence of crossing bicycles and pedestrians , driveways and stopping cars . Wider roads sometimes have a single , but in most cases have a double centre line . Interrupted center lines mean overtaking is allowed , a solid line means overtaking is not allowed , depending on which side of a double line is solid . Smaller roads and roads where bycicles are allowed generally do n't have center lines , and many country roads have no lines at all . Sometimes there is a center line only in sharp curves . Shoulder lines on expressways and motorways are solid to imply the general absence of crossing traffic and residential driveways , as well as the disallowance of leaving the road on places other than specified exits . Expressways always have double centre lines . Exit and acceleration lanes are separated by ' block marking ' . Furthermore several traffic signs are painted on the road , such as speed limits and warning sings . Norway ( edit ) In Norway , yellow lines are used to separate traffic moving in opposite directions and on the left shoulders of paved roads , and white lines are used to separate traffic moving in the same direction , and on the right shoulders of paved roads . On roads narrower than six metres ( 20 ft ) , the centerline is removed , and the shoulder lines are broken . Short , broken lines means passing is allowed , long , broken lines means passing is allowed but dangerous , and a double yellow line means passing is forbidden . Roads with speed limits below 60 km / h that indicate that passing is allowed but dangerous , has a very short yellow line instead of a long one . On motorways , the left shoulder is a yellow line , like in the US . Most other European countries use white lines for all these types of lines . United Kingdom ( edit ) A box junction in London , pictured from atop the Monument in 1969 In England , the idea of painting a center white line was first experimented with in 1921 in Sutton Coldfield , Birmingham . Following complaints by residents over reckless driving and several collisions , the Sutton Coldfield Corporation decided to paint the line on Maney Corner in the area of Maney . In 1971 , a correspondent for the Sutton Coldfield News wrote an article in the newspaper recalling the event . The line was put down as an experiment as there were a lot of accidents there , even in the early days of the motor car . The experiment proved to be so successful that the whole country adopted it as a standard road safety device , and later foreign countries paint lines on their roads , as well . During the World War II the Pedestrians Association lobbied for the government to make it safer for pedestrians to walk during the black out . As a result , white lines were painted on the sides of the road and pedestrians were allowed to use a small torch . In the UK , the first `` white line '' road markings appeared on a number of dangerous bends on the London - Folkestone road at Ashford , Kent , in 1914 , and during the 1920s the rise of painted lines on UK roads grew dramatically . In 1926 official guidelines were issued by the Ministry of Transport that defined where and how white lines on roads should be used . A broken white line in the direction of travel , where the gaps are longer than the painted lines , indicates the centre of the road and that there are no hazards specific to the design and layout of the road , i.e. no turnings , sharp bends ahead etc . A broken white line in which the gaps are shorter than the painted lines indicates an upcoming hazard , the proportion of white to black indicates the degree of hazard i.e. more white means more hazard . A double solid white line indicates that the line may not be crossed , overtaking is permitted if it can be performed safely without crossing the line . Solid lines can be crossed in certain specific conditions ( entering premises , overtaking a stationary vehicle , overtaking a vehicle , pedal cycle or horse travelling at less than 10 mph , or when directed to do so by a police officer ) . A solid white line with a broken white line parallel to it indicates that crossing the line is allowed for traffic in one direction ( the side closest to the broken line ) and not the other . Solid white lines are also used to mark the outer edges of a road . A double yellow line ( commonly known as just a `` Double Yellow '' ) next to the kerb means that no parking is allowed at any time , whilst a single yellow line is used in conjunction with signs to denote that parking is restricted at certain times . Double and single red lines mean that stopping is not allowed at any time or between certain times respectively . On many roads in the UK , retro - reflective road studs , including those known as `` cat 's eyes '' when referring to the Halifax type road stud , are placed in the road . These devices reflect the light from a car 's headlights back towards the driver in order to highlight features of the road in poor visibility or at night . The colour of road studs differs according to their location . Those defining the division between lanes are white , red road studs are placed along the hard shoulder of motorways , dual carriageways and other roads to mark the left - hand edge of a running lane ; and orange road studs are placed along the edge of the central reservation . Green road studs denote slip roads at grade - separated junctions and also road - side lay - bys . Comprehensive information about highway markings in the UK can be found in the Highway Code and on the gov.uk website . Oceania ( edit ) In areas with high levels of Snow , such as Snowy Mountains NSW , ( where this picture was taken ) , yellow lines are used to contrast the white snow . The markers on the side of the road are also taller than other markers in NSW and pink , in order to increase visibility in snowy weather Australia ( edit ) In Australia , white lines are generally used both to separate traffic flowing in the same direction and traffic flowing in opposite directions . Double solid white center - lines may not be crossed under any circumstances , unless avoiding an obstruction . Dashed lines may be crossed for overtaking , changing lanes or turning , and also in the case of double - line markings provided the dashed line is on your side of the markings . For this reason dashed lines are usually used to mark multiple lanes traveling in the one direction . Yellow lines along road edges are used nationally to indicate `` No Standing '' areas not otherwise marked by signs . Solid white lines are also used to indicate kerbside parking , pedestrian and bicycle lanes , and other kerbside features . Yellow line markings are also used in areas that receive regular annual snowfall to provide contrast . Double - line markings are used to separate traffic flowing in opposite directions on busy roads . The Bridge over the Thredbo River . One of the points in which the white lines become yellow as the amount of snowfall increases Solid white lines are used to mark an intersection that a driver must stop at before entering whilst obeying all Right of Way laws . Dashed white lines are used to mark an intersection at which a driver must Give Way . Dashed white lines are also commonly used to indicate turns in intersections and to indicate intersections where a diamond turn is possible ( intersections in which two cars traveling in opposite directions turn to the same direction - of - travel as each other without coming into contact ) . Materials used are waterborne paint , thermoplastics , and cold applied plastic ( PMMA ) , all with glass bead . Bead is generally 1mm for longitudinal marking . Currently moving to performance specified contracts with the primary performance indicator being retro - reflectivity measured with 30 metre geometry instruments . Intervention levels vary generally from 100 - 150 mcd / lux / m2 . New Zealand ( edit ) Although New Zealand follows the convention of a solid yellow line to indicate no passing on roads with two - way traffic , it uses long dashed white lines to indicate when passing against opposing traffic is allowed on two - lane roads and shorter ones to separate lanes going in the same direction . The New Zealand convention followed the USA MUTCD convention common between 1961 and the early seventies .

Invasions of the Roman Empire Invasions Time AD 375 -- 568 Migration Period also AD 100 - 500 Invasions of the Roman Empire AD 409 - 910 Period of the Barbarian kingdoms Place Europe and Northern Africa Event Tribes invading the declining Roman Empire The Migration Period was a time of widespread migrations of peoples , notably the Germanic tribes and the Huns , within or into Europe in the middle of the first millennium AD . It has also been termed in English by the German loanword Völkerwanderung and -- from the Roman and Greek perspective -- the Barbarian Invasions . Many of the migrations were movements of Germanic , Hunnic , Slavic , and other peoples into the territory of the then Roman Empire with or without accompanying invasions or war . Scientific consensus established time frames for the Migration Period as beginning with the invasion of Europe by the Huns in 375 , and ending with the conquest of Italy by the Lombards in 568 . Various factors contributed to this phenomenon as role and significance of each one is still very much discussed among experts on the subject . Starting in 382 , the Roman Empire and individual tribes made treaties regarding their settlement in its territory . The Franks , a Germanic tribe which would later found Francia -- a predecessor of modern France and Germany -- settled in the Roman Empire and were given a task of securing the northeastern Gaul border . Western Roman rule was first violated with the Crossing of the Rhine and the following invasions of the Vandals and Suebi . With wars ensuing between various tribes , as well as local populations in the Western Roman Empire , more and more power was transferred to Germanic and Roman militaries . There are contradicting opinions whether the fall of the Western Roman Empire was a result or cause of tribes getting on the move . The Eastern Roman Empire was less affected by migrations and survived until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 . In the modern period , the Migration Period was increasingly described with a rather negative connotation and tribes ' contribution to the fall of Rome was more and more underlined . In place of the fallen Western Rome , Barbarian kingdoms arose in 5th and 6th centuries and came to decisively shape European culture of the upcoming Middle Ages . The migrants comprised war bands or tribes of 10,000 to 20,000 people , but in the course of 100 years , they numbered not more than 750,000 in total , compared to an average 39.9 million population of the Roman Empire at that time . Although immigration was common throughout the time of the Roman Empire , the period in question was , in the 19th century , often defined as running from about the 5th to 8th centuries AD . The first migrations of peoples were made by Germanic tribes such as the Goths ( including the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths ) , the Vandals , the Anglo - Saxons , the Lombards , the Suebi , the Frisii , the Jutes , the Burgundians , the Alamanni , the Scirii and Franks ; they were later pushed westward by the Huns , the Avars , the Slavs and the Bulgars . Later invasions -- such as the Viking , the Norman , the Hungarian , the Moorish , the Turkic , and the Mongol -- also had significant effects ( especially in North Africa , the Iberian Peninsula , Anatolia and Central and Eastern Europe ) ; however , they are usually considered outside the scope of the Migration Period .

The runic inscription includes the religious term alu . Origins of Germanic tribes ( edit ) Further information : Proto - Germanic , Pre-Roman Iron Age ( Northern Europe ) , and Marcomannic Wars Germanic peoples moved out of southern Scandinavia and northern Germany to the adjacent lands between the Elbe and Oder after 1000 BC . The first wave moved westward and southward ( pushing the resident Celts west to the Rhine by about 200 BC ) , moving into southern Germany up to the Roman provinces of Gaul and Cisalpine Gaul by 100 BC , where they were stopped by Gaius Marius and Julius Caesar . It is this western group which was described by the Roman historian Tacitus ( 56 -- 117 AD ) and Julius Caesar ( 100 -- 44 BC ) . A later wave of Germanic tribes migrated eastward and southward from Scandinavia between 600 and 300 BC to the opposite coast of the Baltic Sea , moving up the Vistula near the Carpathians . During Tacitus ' era they included lesser known tribes such as the Tencteri , Cherusci , Hermunduri and Chatti ; however , a period of federation and intermarriage resulted in the familiar groups known as the Alemanni , Franks , Saxons , Frisians and Thuringians . First phase ( edit ) Further information : Roman Iron Age ( Northern Europe ) The Barbarian Invasions may be divided into two phases . The first phase , occurring between AD 300 and 500 , is partly documented by Greek and Latin historians but difficult to verify archaeologically . It puts Germanic peoples in control of most areas of what was then the Western Roman Empire . The Tervingi entered Roman territory ( after a clash with the Huns ) in 376 . Some time thereafter in Marcianopolis , the escort to Fritigern ( their leader ) was killed while meeting with Lupicinus . The Tervingi rebelled , and the Visigoths , a group derived either from the Tervingi or from a fusion of mainly Gothic groups , eventually invaded Italy and sacked Rome in 410 , before settling in Gaul , and then , 50 years later , in Iberia , founding a kingdom that lasted for 250 years . They were followed into Roman territory first by a confederation of Herulian , Rugian , and Scirian warriors , under Odoacer , that deposed Romulus Augustulus on 4 September 476 , and later by the Ostrogoths , led by Theodoric the Great , who settled in Italy . In Gaul , the Franks ( a fusion of western Germanic tribes whose leaders had been aligned with Rome since the third century AD ) entered Roman lands gradually during the fifth century , and after consolidating power under Childeric and his son Clovis 's decisive victory over Syagrius in 486 , established themselves as rulers of northern Roman Gaul . Fending off challenges from the Allemanni , Burgundians , and Visigoths , the Frankish kingdom became the nucleus of what would later become France and Germany . The initial Anglo - Saxon settlement of Britain occurred during the fifth century , when Roman control of Britain had come to an end . The Burgundians settled in North Western Italy , Switzerland and Eastern France in the fifth century . Second phase ( edit ) Further information : Germanic Iron Age and Early Slavs The second phase took place between 500 and 700 and saw Slavic tribes settling in central and eastern Europe ( notably in eastern Magna Germania ) , gradually making it predominantly Slavic . Additionally , Turkic tribes such as the Avars became involved in this phase . In 567 , the Avars and the Lombards destroyed much of the Gepid Kingdom . The Lombards , a Germanic people , settled in Italy with their Herulian , Suebian , Gepid , Thuringian , Bulgarian , Sarmatian and Saxon allies in the 6th century . They were later followed by the Bavarians and the Franks , who conquered and ruled most of Italy . The Bulgars , originally a nomadic group from Central Asia , had occupied the Pontic steppe north of Caucasus since the second century , but after , pushed by the Khazars , the majority of them migrated west and dominated Byzantine territories along the lower Danube in the seventh century . From this time and onward the demographic picture of the Balkans changed permanently becoming predominantly Slavic , while pockets of native people survived in the mountains of southwest Balkans , Albania and Greece . During the early Byzantine -- Arab Wars , Arab armies attempted to invade southeast Europe via Asia Minor during the late seventh and early eighth centuries , but were defeated at the siege of Constantinople ( 717 -- 718 ) by the joint forces of Byzantium and the Bulgars . During the Khazar -- Arab Wars , the Khazars stopped the Arab expansion into Europe across the Caucasus ( 7th and 8th centuries ) . At the same time , the Moors ( consisting of Arabs and Berbers ) invaded Europe via Gibraltar ( conquering Hispania -- the Iberian Peninsula -- from the Visigothic Kingdom in 711 ) , before being halted . These battles broadly demarcated the frontiers between Christendom and Islam for the next millennium . The following centuries saw the Muslims successful in conquering most of Sicily from the Christians by 902 . The Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin from around 895 , and the Viking expansion from the late 8th century conventionally mark the last large movements of the period . Christianity gradually converted the non-Islamic newcomers and integrated them into the medieval Christian order . Climatic factors ( edit ) A number of contemporary historical references worldwide refer to an extended period of extreme weather during 535 -- 536 . Evidence of this cold period is also found in dendrochronology and ice cores . The consequences of this cold period are debated . Further information : Bond event Discussions ( edit ) Barbarian identity ( edit ) Analysis of barbarian identity and how it was created and expressed during the Barbarian Invasions has elicited discussion among scholars . Herwig Wolfram , a historian of the Goths , in discussing the equation of migratio gentium with Völkerwanderung , observes that Michael Schmidt introduced the equation in his 1778 history of the Germans . Wolfram observed that the significance of gens as a biological community was shifting , even during the early Middle Ages and that `` to complicate matters , we have no way of devising a terminology that is not derived from the concept of nationhood created during the French Revolution '' . The `` primordialistic '' paradigm prevailed during the 19th century . Scholars , such as German linguist Johann Gottfried Herder , viewed tribes as coherent biological ( racial ) entities , using the term to refer to discrete ethnic groups . He also believed that the Volk were an organic whole , with a core identity and spirit evident in art , literature and language . These characteristics were seen as intrinsic , unaffected by external influences , even conquest . Language , in particular , was seen as the most important expression of ethnicity . They argued that groups sharing the same ( or similar ) language possessed a common identity and ancestry . This was the Romantic ideal that there once had been a single German , Celtic or Slavic people who originated from a common homeland and spoke a common tongue , helping to provide a conceptual framework for political movements of the 18th and 19th centuries such as Pan-Germanism and Pan-Slavism . From the 1960s , a reinterpretation of archaeological and historic evidence prompted scholars , such as Goffart and Todd , to propose new models for explaining the construction of barbarian identity . They maintained that no sense of shared identity was perceived by the Germani ; a similar theory having been proposed for Celtic and Slavic groups . A theory states that the primordialist mode of thinking was encouraged by a prima facie interpretation of Graeco - Roman sources , which grouped together many tribes under such labels as Germani , Keltoi or Sclavenoi , thus encouraging their perception as distinct peoples . Modernists argue that the uniqueness perceived by specific groups was based on common political and economic interests rather than biological or racial distinctions . The role of language in constructing and maintaining group identity can be ephemeral since large - scale language shifts occur commonly in history . Modernists propose the idea of `` imagined communities '' ; the barbarian polities in late antiquity were social constructs rather than unchanging lines of blood kinship . The process of forming tribal units was called `` ethnogenesis '' , a term coined by Soviet scholar Yulian Bromley . The Austrian school ( led by Reinhard Wenskus ) popularized this idea , which influenced medievalists such as Herwig Wolfram , Walter Pohl and Patrick Geary . It argues that the stimulus for forming tribal polities was perpetuated by a small nucleus of people , known as the Traditionskern ( `` kernel of tradition '' ) , who were a military or aristocratic elite . This core group formed a standard for larger units , gathering adherents by employing amalgamative metaphors such as kinship and aboriginal commonality and claiming that they perpetuated an ancient , divinely - sanctioned lineage . The common , track - filled map of the Völkerwanderung may illustrate such ( a ) course of events , but it misleads . Unfolded over long periods of time , the changes of position that took place were necessarily irregular ... ( with ) periods of emphatic discontinuity . For decades and possibly centuries , the tradition bearers idled , and the tradition itself hibernated . There was ample time for forgetfulness to do its work . Viewpoints ( edit ) Historians have postulated several explanations for the appearance of `` barbarians '' on the Roman frontier : weather and crops , population pressure , a `` primeval urge '' to push into the Mediterranean or the `` domino effect '' of the Huns falling upon the Goths who , in turn , pushed other Germanic tribes before them . Entire barbarian tribes ( or nations ) flooded into Roman provinces , ending classical urbanism and beginning new types of rural settlements . In general , French and Italian scholars have tended to view this as a catastrophic event , the destruction of a civilization and the beginning of a `` Dark Age '' that set Europe back a millennium . In contrast , German and English historians have tended to see Roman / Barbarian interaction as the replacement of a `` tired , effete and decadent Mediterranean civilization '' with a `` more virile , martial , Nordic one '' . Rather than `` invasion '' , German and Slavic scholars speak of `` migration '' ( German : Völkerwanderung , Czech : Stěhování národů , Swedish : folkvandring and Hungarian : népvándorlás ) , aspiring to the idea of a dynamic and `` wandering Indo - Germanic people '' . The scholar Guy Halsall has seen the barbarian movement as the result of the fall of the Roman Empire , not its cause . Archaeological finds have confirmed that Germanic and Slavic tribes were settled agriculturalists who were probably merely `` drawn into the politics of an empire already falling apart for quite a few other causes '' . The Crisis of the Third Century caused significant changes within the Roman Empire in both its western and its eastern portions . In particular , economic fragmentation removed many of the political , cultural and economic forces that had held the empire together . The rural population in Roman provinces became distanced from the metropolis , and there was little to differentiate them from other peasants across the Roman frontier . In addition , Rome increasingly used foreign mercenaries to defend itself . That `` barbarisation '' parallelled changes within barbaricum . For example , the Roman Empire played a vital role in building up barbarian groups along its frontier . Propped up with imperial support and gifts , the armies of allied barbarian chieftains served as buffers against other , hostile , barbarian groups . The disintegration of Roman economic power weakened groups that had come to depend on Roman gifts for the maintenance of their own power . The arrival of the Huns helped prompt many groups to invade the provinces for economic reasons . The nature of the barbarian takeover of former Roman provinces varied from region to region . For example , in Aquitaine , the provincial administration was largely self - reliant . Halsall has argued that local rulers simply `` handed over '' military rule to the Ostrogoths , acquiring the identity of the newcomers . In Gaul , the collapse of imperial rule resulted in anarchy : the Franks and Alemanni were pulled into the ensuing `` power vacuum '' , resulting in conflict . In Spain , local aristocrats maintained independent rule for some time , raising their own armies against the Vandals . Meanwhile , the Roman withdrawal from Lowland England resulted in conflict between Saxons and the Brythonic chieftains ( whose centres of power retreated westward as a result ) . The Eastern Roman Empire attempted to maintain control of the Balkan provinces despite a thinly - spread imperial army relying mainly on local militias and an extensive effort to refortify the Danubian limes . The ambitious fortification efforts collapsed , worsening the impoverished conditions of the local populace and resulting in colonization by Slavic warriors and their families . Halsall and Noble have argued that such changes stemmed from the breakdown in Roman political control , which exposed the weakness of local Roman rule . Instead of large - scale migrations , there were military takeovers by small groups of warriors and their families , who usually numbered only in the tens of thousands . The process involved active , conscious decision - making by Roman provincial populations . The collapse of centralized control severely weakened the sense of Roman identity in the provinces , which may explain why the provinces then underwent dramatic cultural changes even though few barbarians settled in them . Ultimately , the Germanic groups in the Western Roman Empire were accommodated without `` dispossessing or overturning indigenous society '' , and they maintained a structured and hierarchical ( but attenuated ) form of Roman administration . Ironically , they lost their unique identity as a result of such an accommodation and were absorbed into Latinhood . In contrast , in the east , Slavic tribes maintained a more `` spartan and egalitarian '' existence bound to the land `` even in times when they took their part in plundering Roman provinces '' . Their organizational models were not Roman , and their leaders were not normally dependent on Roman gold for success . Thus they arguably had a greater effect on their region than the Goths , the Franks or the Saxons had on theirs . Ethnicity ( edit ) Based on the belief that particular types of artifacts , elements of personal adornment generally found in a funerary context , are thought to indicate the race and / or ethnicity of the person buried , the `` Culture - History '' school of archaeology assumed that archaeological cultures represent the Urheimat ( homeland ) of tribal polities named in historical sources . As a consequence , the shifting extensions of material cultures were interpreted as the expansion of peoples . Influenced by constructionism , process - driven archaeologists rejected the Culture - Historical doctrine and marginalized the discussion of ethnicity altogether and focused on the intragroup dynamics that generated such material remains . Moreover , they argued that adoption of new cultures could occur through trade or internal political developments rather than only military takeovers .

To mark the celebration of the 500th anniversary of Cabot 's expedition , both the Canadian and British governments elected Cape Bonavista , Newfoundland , as Cabot 's first landing site . However , alternative locations have also been proposed .

The non-Italian forms are derived from how his name was recorded in related 15th - century documents . In Venice he signed his names as `` Zuan Chabotto '' , Zuan being a form of John typical to Venice . He continued to use this form in England , at least among Italians . He was referred to by his Italian banker in London as ' Giovanni Chabbote ' , in the only known contemporary document to use this version of his first name . He was born in Italy , the son of Giulio Caboto and his wife ; he had a brother Piero . Gaeta ( in the Province of Latina ) and Castiglione Chiavarese ( in the Province of Genoa ) have both been proposed as birthplaces . The main evidence for Gaeta are records of a Caboto family residing there until the mid-15th century , but ceasing to be traceable after 1443 . Pedro de Ayala , the Spanish envoy and Cabot 's contemporary in London , described him in a letter to the Spanish Crown in 1498 as `` another Genoese like Columbus '' . John Cabot 's son , Sebastian , said his father originally came from Genoa . In 1476 Cabot was made a citizen of the Republic of Venice , which required a minimum of fifteen years ' residency in the city ; thus he must have lived in Venice since at least 1461 . Early life ( edit ) Giovanni Caboto house in Venice He may have been born slightly earlier than 1450 , which is the approximate date most commonly given for his birth . In 1471 Caboto was accepted into the religious confraternity of St John the Evangelist . Since this was one of the city 's prestigious confraternities , his acceptance suggests that he was already a respected member of the community . Following his gaining full Venetian citizenship in 1476 , Caboto would have been eligible to engage in maritime trade , including the trade to the eastern Mediterranean that was the source of much of Venice 's wealth . He presumably entered this trade shortly thereafter . A 1483 document refers to his selling a slave in Crete whom he had acquired while in the territories of the Sultan of Egypt , which then comprised most of what is now Israel , Syria and Lebanon . This is not sufficient to prove Cabot 's later assertion that he had visited Mecca , which he said in 1497 to the Milanese ambassador in London . In this Mediterranean trade , he may have acquired better knowledge of the origins of the oriental ( West Asian ) merchandise he would have been dealing in ( such as spices and silks ) than most Europeans at that time . `` Zuan Cabotto '' ( i.e. John Cabot ) is mentioned in a variety of Venetian records of the 1480s . These indicate that by 1484 he was married to Mattea and already had at least two sons . Cabot 's sons are Ludovico , Sebastian , and Sancto . The Venetian sources contain references to Cabot 's being involved in house building in the city . He may have relied on this experience when seeking work later in Spain as a civil engineer . Cabot 's travels around Europe , 1488 -- 95 , following his escape from Venice Cabot appears to have got into financial trouble in the late 1480s and left Venice as an insolvent debtor by 5 November 1488 . He moved to Valencia , Spain , where his creditors attempted to have him arrested by sending a lettera di raccomandazione a giustizia ( `` a letter of recommendation to justice '' ) to the authorities . While in Valencia , `` John Cabot Montecalunya '' ( as he is referred to in local documents ) proposed plans for improvements to the harbour . These proposals were rejected , however . Early in 1494 he moved on to Seville , where he proposed , was contracted to build and , for five months , worked on the construction of a stone bridge over the Guadalquivir river . This project was abandoned following a decision of the City Council on 24 December 1494 . After this Cabot appears to have sought support in Seville and Lisbon for an Atlantic expedition , before moving to London to seek funding and political support . He likely reached England in mid-1495 . Sponsorship ( edit ) Like other Italian explorers , including Christopher Columbus , Cabot led an expedition on commission to another European nation , in his case , England . Cabot planned to depart to the west from a northerly latitude where the longitudes are much closer together , and where , as a result , the voyage would be much shorter . He still had an expectation of finding an alternative route to China . Historians had thought that , on arrival in England , Cabot went to Bristol , a major maritime center , to seek financial backers . This was the only English city to have had a history of undertaking exploratory expeditions into the Atlantic . Cabot 's royal patent ( issued by the Crown in 1496 ) stated that all expeditions should be undertaken from Bristol , so his primary financial supporters likely were based in that city . In any case , it also stipulated that the commerce resulting from any discoveries must be conducted with England alone . In the late 20th century , British historian Alwyn Ruddock claimed to have found documentation that Cabot went first to London , where he received some financial backing from its Italian community . She suggested one patron was Father Giovanni Antonio de Carbonariis , an Augustinian friar who was also the deputy to Adriano Castellesi , the papal tax collector . Ruddock suggested that Carbonariis accompanied Cabot 's 1498 expedition . She also suggested that the friar , on good terms with the King , introduced the explorer to King Henry VII . Beyond this , Ruddock claimed that Cabot received a loan from an Italian banking house in London . As Ruddock ordered the destruction of all her research notes on her death in 2005 , scholars have had to duplicate her research and rediscover documents . The Cabot Project was formed at the University of Bristol in 2009 to research Cabot and the Bristol expeditions . Francesco Guidi Bruscoli ( University of Florence ) found some of Ruddock 's documentation , confirming that Cabot received money in March 1496 from the Bardi family banking firm of Florence . The bankers located in London provided fifty nobles ( £ 16 13s . 4d . ) to support Cabot 's expedition to `` go and find the new land '' . This payment from the Florentine merchants would have represented a substantial contribution , although it was not enough to completely finance the expedition . On 5 March 1496 Henry VII gave Cabot and his three sons letters patent with the following charge for exploration : ... free authority , faculty and power to sail to all parts , regions and coasts of the eastern , western and northern sea , under our banners , flags and ensigns , with five ships or vessels of whatsoever burden and quality they may be , and with so many and with such mariners and men as they may wish to take with them in the said ships , at their own proper costs and charges , to find , discover and investigate whatsoever islands , countries , regions or provinces of heathens and infidels , in whatsoever part of the world placed , which before this time were unknown to all Christians . Those who received such patents had the right to assign them to third parties for execution . His sons are believed to have still been minors . Expeditions ( edit ) John Cabot plaque : John Cabot departing Bristol , England for Atlantic Canada ( 1497 ) , installed at Sir Sandford Fleming Park , Halifax , Nova Scotia Cabot went to Bristol to arrange preparations for his voyage . Bristol was the second - largest seaport in England . From 1480 onward it had supplied several expeditions to look for Hy - Brazil . According to Celtic legend , this island lay somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean . There was widespread belief among merchants in the port that Bristol men had discovered the island at earlier date but then lost track of it . Note : Ruddock had contended in a private 1988 letter to a colleague , Quinn , that she had found evidence in Italian archives that Bristol men had discovered North America pre-1470 . As the island was believed to be a source of brazilwood ( from which a valuable red dye could be obtained ) , merchants had economic incentive to find it . First voyage ( edit ) Cabot 's first voyage was little recorded . A winter 1497 / 98 letter from John Day ( a Bristol merchant ) to an addressee believed to be Christopher Columbus refers briefly to it , but writes mostly about the second , 1497 voyage . He notes , `` Since your Lordship wants information relating to the first voyage , here is what happened : he went with one ship , his crew confused him , he was short of supplies and ran into bad weather , and he decided to turn back . '' Since Cabot received his royal patent in March 1496 , it is believed that he made his first voyage that summer . Second voyage ( edit ) Information about the 1497 voyage comes mostly from four short letters and an entry in a 1565 chronicle of the city of Bristol . The chronicle entry for 1496 / 7 says in full : `` This year , on St. John the Baptist 's Day ( 24 June 1497 ) , the land of America was found by the Merchants of Bristow in a shippe of Bristowe , called the Mathew ; the which said the ship departed from the port of Bristowe , the second day of May , and came home again the 6th of August next following . '' -- G.E. Weare , Cabot 's Discovery of North America , ( London , 1897 ) , p. 116 What is known as the `` John Day letter '' provides considerable information about Cabot 's second voyage . It was written during the winter of 1497 / 8 by Bristol merchant John Day ( alias Hugh Say of London ) to a man who is likely Christopher Columbus . Day is believed to have been familiar with the key figures of the expedition and thus able to report on it . If the lands Cabot had discovered lay west of the meridian laid down in the Treaty of Tordesillas , or if he intended to sail further west , Columbus would likely have believed that these voyages challenged his monopoly rights for westward exploration . In addition to these letters , Dr Alwyn Ruddock claimed to have found another , written on 10 August 1497 by the London - based bankers of Fr . Giovanni Antonio de Carbonariis . This letter has yet to be found . From various written comments made by Ruddock , the letter did not appear to contain a detailed account of the voyage . Ruddock said the letter contained `` new evidence supporting the claim that seamen of Bristol had already discovered land across the ocean before John Cabot 's arrival in England . '' She contended that Bristol seamen had reached North America two decades before Cabot 's expedition . A statue of John Cabot gazing across Bonavista Bay The known sources do not concur on all aspects of the events , and none can be assumed to be entirely reliable . Cabot was described as having one `` little ship '' , of 50 tons burden , called the Matthew of Bristol ( according to the 1565 chronicle ) . It was said to be laden with sufficient supplies for `` seven or eight months '' . The ship departed in May with a crew of 18 to 20 men . They included an unnamed Burgundian ( modern - day Netherlands ) and a Genoese barber , who presumably accompanied the expedition as the ship 's surgeon . It is likely that two ranking Bristol merchants were part of the expedition . One was probably William Weston , who had not been identified as part of Cabot 's expedition before the find of a new document in the late 20th century . His participation was confirmed by a document found in the early 21st century noting his reward from the King in January 1498 after the ship returned . More importantly , in 2009 historian Evan Jones confirmed that Weston had undertaken an independent voyage to the New Found Land in 1499 , probably under Cabot 's patent , as the first Englishman to lead an expedition to North America . Leaving Bristol , the expedition sailed past Ireland and across the Atlantic , making landfall somewhere on the coast of North America on 24 June 1497 . The exact location of the landfall has long been disputed , with different communities vying for the honor . Historians have proposed Cape Bonavista and St. John 's ( present - day Newfoundland ) ; Cape Breton Island ( Nova Scotia ) ; as well as Labrador ( Canada ) and Maine ( United States ) as possibilities . Since the discovery of the `` John Day letter '' in the 1950s , it seems most likely that the initial landfall was either on Newfoundland or Cape Breton Island . This is because Day 's letter implies that the coastline explored in 1497 lay between the latitudes of the Bordeaux River in France and Dursey Head in southern Ireland . The initial landfall seems to have taken place close to the southern latitude , with the expedition returning home after reaching the northern one . Route of 1497 voyage posited by Jones and Condon . For the 500th - anniversary celebrations , the governments of Canada and the United Kingdom designated Cape Bonavista in Newfoundland as the `` official '' landing place . Here in 1997 Queen Elizabeth II , along with members of the Italian and Canadian governments , greeted the replica Matthew of Bristol , following its celebratory crossing of the Atlantic . Cabot 's expedition is believed to be the first by Europeans to mainland North America since the Vikings five hundred years before . Cabot is reported to have landed only once during the expedition and did not advance `` beyond the shooting distance of a crossbow '' . Pasqualigo and Day both state that the expedition made no contact with any native people ; crew found the remains of a fire , a human trail , nets and a wooden tool . The crew appeared to have remained on land just long enough to take on fresh water ; they also raised the Venetian and Papal banners , claiming the land for the King of England and recognising the religious authority of the Roman Catholic Church . After this landing , Cabot spent some weeks `` discovering the coast , '' with most `` discovered after turning back . '' Final voyage ( edit ) A replica of the Matthew in Bristol On return to Bristol , Cabot rode to London to report to the King . On 10 August 1497 , he was given a reward of £ 10 -- equivalent to about two years ' pay for an ordinary labourer or craftsman . The explorer was feted ; Soncino wrote on 23 August that Cabot `` is called the Great Admiral ( note : as Christopher Columbus had been ) and vast honour is paid to him and he goes dressed in silk , and these English run after him like mad '' . Such adulation was short - lived , for over the next few months the King 's attention was occupied by the Second Cornish Uprising of 1497 , led by Perkin Warbeck . Once Henry 's throne was secure , he gave more thought to Cabot . On 26 September , just a few days after the collapse of the revolt , the King made an award of £ 2 to Cabot . In December 1497 the explorer was awarded a pension of £ 20 per year . On February 3 , 1498 he was given new letters patent covering the voyage and to help him prepare a second expedition . In March and April , the King also advanced a number of loans to Lancelot Thirkill of London , Thomas Bradley and John Cair , who were to accompany Cabot 's new expedition . The Great Chronicle of London ( 1189 -- 1512 ) reports that Cabot departed with a fleet of five ships from Bristol at the beginning of May 1498 , one of which had been prepared by the King . Some of the ships were said to be carrying merchandise , including cloth , caps , lace points and other `` trifles '' . This suggests that Cabot intended to engage in trade on this expedition . The Spanish envoy in London reported in July that one of the ships had been caught in a storm and been forced to land in Ireland , but that Cabot and the other four ships had continued on . For centuries no other records were found ( or at least published ) that relate to this expedition ; it was long believed that Cabot and his fleet were lost at sea . But at least one of the men scheduled to accompany the expedition , Lancelot Thirkill of London , is recorded as living in London in 1501 . Juan de La Cosa 's map of the North Atlantic , 1500 The historian Alwyn Ruddock worked on Cabot and his era for 35 years . She suggested that Cabot and his expedition successfully returned to England in the spring of 1500 . She claimed their return followed an epic two - year exploration of the east coast of North America , south into the Chesapeake Bay area and perhaps as far as the Spanish territories in the Caribbean . Her evidence included the well - known world map of the Spanish cartographer Juan de la Cosa . His chart included the North American coast and seas ' discovered by the English ' between 1497 and 1500 . Ruddock suggested Fr . Giovanni Antonio de Carbonariis and the other friars who accompanied the 1498 expedition had stayed in Newfoundland and founded a mission . If Carbonariis founded a settlement in North America , it would have been the first Christian settlement on the continent , and may have included a church , the only medieval church to have been built there . The Cabot Project at the University of Bristol was organized in 2009 to search for the evidence on which Ruddock 's claims rest , as well as to undertake related studies of Cabot and his expeditions . The lead researchers on the project , Evan Jones and Margaret Condon , claim to have found further evidence to support aspects of Ruddock 's case , including some of the information she intended to use to argue for a successful return of the 1498 expedition to Bristol . These appear to place John Cabot in London by May 1500 , albeit Jones and Condon have yet to publish their documentation . The Project is collaborating on an archaeological excavation at the community of Carbonear , Newfoundland , located at Conception Bay and believed the likely location for Carbonariis ' mission settlement . The Archaeology of Historic Carbonear Project , carried out by Memorial University of Newfoundland , has conducted summer fieldwork each season since 2011 . So far , it has found evidence of planter habitation since the late 17th century and of trade with Spain through Bilbao , including a Spanish coin minted in Peru . Death ( edit ) The circumstances of Cabot 's death appear obscure and contradictory . He was last mentioned as a member of an expedition led by his son Sebastian in 1508 - 1509 . Nothing is known about Cabot after that ; perhaps he died during the journey , or more likely shortly after returning . Additional English Voyages ( edit ) Ruddock claimed that William Weston of Bristol , a supporter of Cabot , undertook an independent expedition to North America in 1499 , sailing north from Newfoundland up to the Hudson Strait . If correct , this was probably the first North West Passage expedition . In 2009 , Jones confirmed that William Weston ( who was not previously known to have been involved ) led an expedition from Bristol ( with royal support ) to the `` new found land '' in 1499 or 1500 , making him the first Englishman to lead exploration of North America . This find has changed the understanding of English roles in exploration of that continent . King Henry VII continued to support exploration from Bristol . The king granted Hugh Eliot , Robert Thorne and his son a bounty of ₤ 20 in January 1502 for purchasing the Gabriel , a ship for an expedition voyage that summer . Later in 1502 or early 1503 he paid Eliot a reward of ₤ 100 for a voyage , or voyages , in `` 2 ships to the Isle of new finding , '' as Newfoundland was called . This amount was larger than any previously accounted for in royal support of the explorations . Sebastian Cabot 's Voyages ( edit ) Main article : Sebastian Cabot ( explorer ) Sebastian Cabot , one of John 's sons , also became an explorer , later making at least one voyage to North America . In 1508 he was searching for the Northwest Passage . Nearly two decades later , he sailed to South America for Spain to repeat Ferdinand Magellan 's voyage around the world . He became diverted by searching for silver along the Río de la Plata ( 1525 -- 8 ) in Argentina .

"John Cabot (Italian: Giovanni Caboto, Venetian: Zuan Chabotto; c. 1450 – c. 1500) was a Venetian navigator and explorer whose 1497 discovery of the coast of North America under the commission of Henry VII of England was the first European exploration of the mainland of North America since the Norse visits to Vinland in the eleventh century. To mark the celebration of the 500th anniversary of Cabot's expedition, both the Canadian and British governments elected Cape Bonavista, Newfoundland, as Cabot's first landing site. However, alternative locations have also been proposed."

It was included on their 1982 album Toto IV , and released as a single on September 30 , 1982 . It reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 5 , 1983 ( the band 's only number one there ) , and number three on the UK Singles Chart the same month . The song was written by the band 's keyboardist / vocalist David Paich and drummer Jeff Porcaro . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Music video 3 Reception 4 Personnel 4.1 Guest musicians 5 Charts and certifications 5.1 Weekly charts 5.2 Year - end charts 5.3 Sales and certifications 6 Samples 7 Covers 8 Notable uses in popular culture 9 See also 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links Background ( edit ) The initial idea and words for the song came from David Paich . Jeff Porcaro explains the idea behind the song : `` a white boy is trying to write a song on Africa , but since he 's never been there , he can only tell what he 's seen on TV or remembers in the past . '' Songwriter David Paich said : At the beginning of the ' 80s I watched a late night documentary on TV about all the terrible death and suffering of the people in Africa . It both moved and appalled me , and the pictures just would n't leave my head . I tried to imagine how I 'd feel about if I was there and what I 'd do . In 2015 Paich explained the song is about a man 's love of a continent : Africa , rather than just a personal romance . Musically , the song took quite some time to assemble , as Paich and Porcaro explain : On `` Africa '' you hear a combination of marimba with GS 1 . The kalimba is all done with the GS 1 ; it 's six tracks of GS 1 playing different rhythms . I wrote the song on CS - 80 , so that plays the main part of the entire tune . So when we were doing `` Africa '' I set up a bass drum , snare drum and a hi - hat , and Lenny Castro set up right in front of me with a conga . We looked at each other and just started playing the basic groove ... The backbeat is on 3 , so it 's a half - time feel , and it 's 16th notes on the hi - hat . Lenny started playing a conga pattern . We played for five minutes on tape , no click , no nothing . We just played . And I was singing the bass line for ' Africa ' in my mind , so we had a relative tempo . Lenny and I went into the booth and listened back to the five minutes of that same boring pattern . We picked out the best two bars that we thought were grooving , and we marked those two bars on tape ... Maybe it would have taken two minutes to program that in the Linn , and it took about half an hour to do this . But a Linn machine does n't feel like that ! Porcaro also acknowledged that he was influenced by the sounds created by fellow Los Angeles session musicians Milt Holland and Emil Richards in addition to the New York World 's Fair and a National Geographic Special . Music video ( edit ) The music video was directed by Steve Barron . In the video , a researcher in a library ( portrayed by band member David Paich ) tries to match a scrap of a picture of a shield to the book from which it was torn out . As he continues his search , a librarian ( Jenny Douglas - McRae ) working at a desk takes occasional notice of him , while natives in the surrounding jungle begin to close in on the library . When the researcher finds a book entitled Africa , the native throws a spear ( the shield the native carries is the same as the one in the picture ) , toppling stacks of books . Africa falls open to the page from which the scrap was torn , but a lantern lands on it and sets it on fire , after which the librarian 's eyeglasses are shown falling to the floor . The scenes are intercut with shots of a spinning globe and the band performing atop a stack of giant hardcover books , in which Africa is the topmost . This video also features Mike Porcaro on bass , replacing David Hungate , who had already left the band before the video was made . Reception ( edit ) In 2012 , `` Africa '' was listed by music magazine NME in 32nd place on its list of `` 50 Most Explosive Choruses '' .

Gradually , other territories , colonies , and provinces that were part of British North America would be added to Canada . The Royal Proclamation of 1763 enlarged the colony of Canada under the name of the Province of Quebec , which with the Constitutional Act 1791 became known as The Canadas . With the Act of Union 1840 Upper and Lower Canada were joined to become the United Province of Canada . Later , with Confederation in 1867 , the British maritime colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were joined with the British colony of Canada to form the Dominion of Canada , which was subsequently divided into four provinces , Ontario , Quebec , New Brunswick , and Nova Scotia . A number of other British colonies , such as Newfoundland and British Columbia , and large territories such as Rupert 's Land initially remained outside of the newly formed federation . Over time , the remaining colonies and territories within British North America came under the control of Canada until the current geographic extent of the country was reached when Newfoundland and Labrador joined Canada in 1949 . Although confederation in 1867 led to an enlarged Dominion with increased autonomy over domestic affairs , Canada still remained a colony within the British Empire and was thus subordinate to the British Parliament until the enactment of the Statute of Westminster in 1931 . This statute recognized Canada as an independent peer coequal with the United Kingdom , and thus provided the Parliament of Canada with legislative sovereignty over all federal matters except the power to change the constitutional laws of Canada which remained under the purview of the Parliament of the United Kingdom . Canada 's final vestige of legal dependence on the United Kingdom was terminated in 1982 with the enactment of the Canada Act , subsequently providing Canada with full legal sovereignty completely independent of the United Kingdom .

In North America , the Seven Years ' War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on February 10 , 1763 . As part of the treaty , France ceded all North American lands to Britain ( of which the French colony of Canada was a part ) , except Louisiana ( which had been instead ceded to Spain ) , and two islands off the shores of Newfoundland ( Saint - Pierre and Miquelon ) . St. Lawrence valley ( edit ) Main article : Canada ( New France ) With the ceding of Canada to the British Empire , Britain gained control of a strip of territory along the St. Lawrence River with a population of at least 70,000 francophone Roman Catholics , which was expanded and renamed as the Province of Quebec under the Quebec Act . Although many British people ( including the American colonies to the south ) hoped the French Canadians would be assimilated this was not the case as distinct rules of governance for Quebec were set out in the Quebec Act such as allowing the French Canadians to retain their Catholic religion and their French system of civil law . The Quebec Act became one of the Intolerable Acts that infuriated the thirteen British colonies in what would become the United States of America . Atlantic coast ( edit ) The island colony of Newfoundland had been dominated by the British for a long time before the French finally abandoned their legal claims to the area , and thus an anglophone society had already taken shape prior to the legal transfer of ownership . In Acadia , the British had expelled French - speaking populations in 1755 from Acadia to Louisiana , creating the Cajun population , but this would not be repeated in 1763 . In the former French territory of Acadia , the British were confronted by a relatively large and well - established Catholic Mi'kmaq and Wabanaki Confederacy . The British Conquest of Acadia ( which included Nova Scotia peninsula , while present - day New Brunswick remained in dispute ) happened in 1710 , much earlier than in what would become the rest of modern - day Canada . The Mi'kmaq never ceded land to either France or England . The first immigration of Protestants happened in the province with the founding of Halifax . The establishment of Halifax sparked Father Le Loutre 's War , which , in turn , led to the British expelling the Acadians from the region during the French and Indian War . As they later captured Cape Breton Island and Prince Edward Island , the policy of expulsion was extended there as well . The few Acadians who managed to return to the area have created the contemporary Acadian society . Once the land was emptied , other settlements were formed by New England Planters . American Revolution ( edit ) See also : Invasion of Canada ( 1775 ) In 1775 , American revolutionaries ( Patriots ) attempted to push their insurrection into Quebec . Support for the Patriot cause was mixed ; the clergy and landowners were generally opposed to it , while English - speaking merchants and migrants from the Thirteen Colonies were generally supportive of it . The habitants were divided ; in some areas ( notably the region between Montreal and Saint - Jean ) , there was significant support , and militia companies were raised in support of the Patriots by James Livingston . Patriot attack on Quebec : routes of the Arnold and Montgomery expeditions The Patriots laid siege to Fort Saint - Jean , capturing it and Montreal in November 1775 . They then marched on Quebec City , where an attempt to take the city on December 31 , 1775 , failed . Following an ineffectual siege , the arrival of British troops in May 1776 sent the Patriots into retreat back toward Montreal . An attempt against British troops at Trois - Rivières failed , and the Patriots were driven from the province in June . Leaving with the rebel army were about 250 Québécois in two regiments : James Livingston 's 1st Canadian Regiment , and Moses Hazen 's 2nd Canadian Regiment . Quebeckers living in the forts of the Great Lakes region also massively sided with the Patriots and were instrumental in the taking of the fort by the Patriots . Major Clément Gosselin , Pierre Ayotte , Antoine Paulin , Louis Gosselin , Germain Dionne , Pierre Douville , Edward Antill and Moses Hazen and 747 Quebec militiamen were all in Quebec when they joined the Patriots and defeated the British at Yorktown in 1781 . In a key act leading up to the Siege of Yorktown , Louis - Philippe de Vaudreuil , the French - born nephew of Canada 's last French governor , the Marquis de Vaudreuil , assisted Bougainville and de Grasse in preventing the British Navy from resupplying or relieving Cornwallis ' army in the Battle of the Chesapeake . In Nova Scotia there was some agitation against British rule , largely instigated by Jonathan Eddy and John Allan , migrants from Massachusetts who had settled in the Chignecto Isthmus area near Fort Cumberland ( formerly Fort Beauséjour ) . The only major event of their resistance was the Battle of Fort Cumberland , when Eddy and a combined force of Massachusetts Patriots , Acadians , and Indians , besieged the fort in November 1776 . The siege was broken and Eddy 's forces were scattered when British reinforcements arrived . Eddy and Allan continued to make trouble on the frontier between what are now Maine and New Brunswick from a base in Machias for several years . The Maritime provinces were also affected by privateering , and raids on settlements by privateers in violation of their letters of marque . In notable instances , Charlottetown , Prince Edward Island and Lunenburg , Nova Scotia were subjected to these raids . During and after the Revolution , approximately 70,000 United Empire Loyalists fled the United States . Of these , roughly 50,000 Loyalists settled in the British North American colonies , which then consisted of Newfoundland , Nova Scotia , Quebec , and Prince Edward Island ( created 1769 ) . The Loyalists who settled in western Nova Scotia wanted political freedom from Halifax , so Britain split off the colony of New Brunswick in 1784 . Quebec was also divided into Lower Canada and Upper Canada under the Constitutional Act of 1791 , permitting the 8,000 Loyalists who settled in southwestern Quebec ( which became Upper Canada ) to have a province in which British laws and institutions could be established . A number of Loyalists that came north after the American Revolution were of African descent including former slaves who had been freed as a result of service to the British and over 2,000 African slaves . In 1793 Upper Canada became the first British jurisdiction to enact legislation to suppress slavery , with the Act Against Slavery being passed allowing for its gradual abolition . The War of 1812 ( edit ) Main article : War of 1812 Loyalist Laura Secord warns British of an impending American attack at Beaver Dams . In the War of 1812 , the Canadas were once again a battleground , this time between the British and the relatively young United States . During the war , unsuccessful attempts were made by the Americans to invade Upper Canada , after overestimating the amount of support they would receive from Canadian colonists . Many of the inhabitants of Upper Canada ( now southern Ontario ) were Americans who had very recently arrived in the colony , and some of them did support the invading force ; however , the rest of the population was made up of the descendants of Loyalists or the original French colonists , who did not want to be part of the United States . The first American invasion came in October 1812 , but they were defeated by General Isaac Brock at the Battle of Queenston Heights . The Americans invaded again in 1813 , capturing Fort York ( now Toronto ) . Later in the year , the Americans took control of the Great Lakes after the Battle of Lake Erie and the Battle of the Thames , but they had much less success in Lower Canada , where they were defeated at the Battle of Châteauguay and the Battle of Crysler 's Farm . The Americans were driven out of Upper Canada in 1814 after the Battle of Lundy 's Lane , although they still controlled the Great Lakes and defeated the British at the Battle of Lake Champlain . In English Canada , it is seen as a victory against American invasions , with heroic legends surrounding many of the participants ( such as Isaac Brock and Laura Secord ) and battles ( especially those in the Niagara Peninsula ) . Fur trade ( edit ) Further information : North American fur trade For centuries one of the most important economic ventures in North America was the fur trade . This trade , which had been pioneered by the French , came to be dominated by the British as they gained increasing territory on the continent . The main British fur trading posts were located inside of what became the United States ( the British were forced to relocate northward as borders were established with the new nation ) . First Nations were central to the trade as they were the primary fur trappers . The role gave the peoples of many of the First Nations a political voice as , though they were viewed as an underclass , they were too important to simply be ignored . The American Revolution led to intense competition between the British and the U.S. By the 1830s changing fashions in Europe had begun a steep decline in fur prices and an overall collapse in the market . Apart from the economic losses to whites involved in the fur trade , many of the First Nations were devastated , both in terms of economic loss and in terms of loss of influence in local politics . Timber trade ( edit ) Main article : Economic history of Canada § Timber See also : Ottawa River timber trade Timber booms on the Ottawa River , Canada , 1872 . As the fur trade declined in importance , the timber trade became Canada 's most important commodity . The industry became concentrated in three main regions . The first to be exploited was the Saint John River system . Trees in the still almost deserted hinterland of New Brunswick were cut and transported to Saint John where they were shipped to England . This area soon could not keep up with demand , and the trade moved to the St. Lawrence River where logs were shipped to Quebec City before being sent on to Europe . This area also became insufficient , and the trade expanded westward , most notably to the Ottawa River system , which by 1845 provided three quarters of the timber shipped from Quebec City . The timber trade became a massive business . In one summer 1200 ships were loaded with timber at Quebec City alone . `` Responsible government '' and the rebellions of 1837 - 38 ( edit ) Main article : Rebellions of 1837 The Papineau Rebellion of 1837 . After the War of 1812 , the first half of the 19th century saw the growth of political reform movements in both Upper and Lower Canada , largely influenced by American and French republicanism . The colonial legislatures set out by the Constitutional Act had become dominated by wealthy elites , the Family Compact in Upper Canada and the Château Clique in Lower Canada . The moderate reformers , such as Robert Baldwin and Louis - Hippolyte Lafontaine , argued for a more representational form of government which they called `` responsible government '' . By `` responsible , '' the reformers meant that such a government would be ultimately responsible to the will of the subjects of the colonies , not to the British legislature or monarchy . The radical reformers , such as William Lyon Mackenzie and Louis - Joseph Papineau demanded equality or a complete break from British rule and the establishment of a republic . Louis - Joseph Papineau was elected speaker of the colonial assembly in 1815 . His attempts at reform were ignored by the British , and in 1834 , the assembly passed The Ninety - Two Resolutions , outlining its grievances against the legislative council . Papineau organized boycotts and civil disobedience . The colonial government illegally ordered the arrest of Papineau . The Patriotes resorted to armed resistance and planned the Lower Canada Rebellion in the fall of 1837 . British troops in the colony quickly put down the rebellion and forced Papineau to flee to the United States . A second rebellion by the Frères chasseurs of Robert Nelson broke out one year later , but the British put it down as well , with much loss of life and destruction of property . William Lyon Mackenzie , a Scottish immigrant and reformist mayor of York ( Toronto ) , organized the Upper Canada Rebellion in December 1837 after the Patriotes rebellion had begun . Upper Canadians had similar grievances ; they were annoyed at the undemocratic governance of the colony , and especially by the corrupt and inefficient Bank of Upper Canada and the Canada Company . On December 4 , the rebels assembled near Montgomery 's Tavern , where the British troops stationed in the city met them on December 7 . The rebels were hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned , and were defeated in less than an hour . Mackenzie escaped to the United States . Also in December , a group of Irish immigrants attempted to seize southwestern Ontario by force in the Patriot War . They were defeated by government troops at Windsor . Lord Durham 's Report ( edit ) Main article : Report on the Affairs of British North America Lord Durham was appointed Governor General of Canada in 1838 . He was assigned to investigate the causes of the Rebellions , and concluded that the problem was essentially animosity between the British and French inhabitants of Canada . His Report on the Affairs of British North America contains the famous description of `` two nations warring in the bosom of a single state . '' For Durham , the French Canadians were culturally backwards , and he was convinced that only a union of French and English Canada would allow the colony to progress in the interest of Great Britain . A political union would , he hoped , cause the French - speakers to be assimilated by English - speaking settlements , solving the problem of French Canadian nationalism once and for all . Act of Union ( 1840 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Act of Union 1840 and United Province of Canada Lord Durham was succeeded by Lord Sydenham who was responsible for implementing Durham 's recommendations in the Act of Union 1840 passed on July 23 , 1840 , by the Parliament of the United Kingdom and proclaimed February 10 , 1841 . Upper and Lower Canada became , respectively , Canada West and Canada East , both with 42 seats in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada despite Lower Canada being more populated . The official language of the province became English and French was explicitly banned in the Parliament and in the courts . The Burning of the Parliament Buildings in Montreal -- 1849 , Joseph Légaré , c. 1849 The moderate reformers Louis - Hippolyte Lafontaine and Robert Baldwin fought two successive governors general Sir Charles Bagot and Sir Charles Metcalfe to secure what became known as responsible government . Metcalfe fought to preserve the prerogatives of the Crown and the governor 's control over the administration and patronage . He nonetheless had to make some concessions to win support , and the most notable of these was persuading the Colonial Office to grant amnesty to the rebels of 1837 - 38 , and to abandon forced anglicization of the French - speaking population . Lafontaine and Baldwin reintroduced French as an official language alongside English in the Assembly , the Courts and other governmental bodies . Under the progressive Governor General James Bruce ( Lord Elgin ) , a bill was passed to allow the leaders of former Patriote movement to return to their homeland ; Papineau returned and for a short time re-entered Canadian politics . A similar bill was passed for the former Upper Canadian rebels . Elgin also implemented the practice of responsible government in 1848 , several months after it had already been granted to the colony of Nova Scotia . The parliament of United Canada in Montreal was set on fire by a mob of Tories in 1849 after the passing of an indemnity bill for the people who suffered losses during the rebellions of Lower Canada . One noted achievement of the Union was the Canadian -- American Reciprocity Treaty of 1855 which sanctioned free trade in resources . However , the achievement must be seen in the wider politics of British North America which had seen the major boundary disputes with the United States settled ( except the boundary with Alaska ) ( see Rush -- Bagot Treaty , Treaty of 1818 , Webster -- Ashburton Treaty , Oregon Treaty ) , thus easing tensions which for most of the first half of the 19th century had Americans threatening war or retaliation . The Union Act of 1840 was ultimately unsuccessful , and led to calls for a greater political union in the 1850s and 1860s . Support for independence was strengthened by events such as the Battle of Ridgeway , a 1866 invasion into Ontario by some 1500 Irish nationalists which was repulsed largely by local militia . British colonies on the northwest coast ( edit ) Main article : History of British Columbia Sir James Douglas , governor of the Colonies of British Columbia and Vancouver Island Although Spain had taken the lead in the exploration of the northwest Pacific Coast , with the voyages of Juan José Pérez Hernández in 1774 and 1775 , by the time the Spanish determined to build a fort on Vancouver Island , the British navigator James Cook had himself visited Nootka Sound and charted the coast as far as Alaska , while British and American traders had begun settling the coast to develop resources for trade with Europe and Asia . In 1793 Alexander Mackenzie . a Scottish born Canadian working for the North West Company crossed the continent and with his aboriginal guides , French - Canadian voyageurs and another Scot , reached the mouth of the Bella Coola River , completing the first continental crossing of North America north of Mexico , missing George Vancouver 's charting expedition to the region by only a few weeks . The competing imperial claims between Russia , Spain and Britain were compounded by treaties between the former two powers and the United States , which pressed for annexation of most of what is now British Columbia . With the signing of the Oregon Treaty in 1846 , the United States agreed to establish its northern border with western British North America along the 49th parallel . By 1857 , Americans and British were beginning to respond to rumours of gold in the Fraser River area . Almost overnight , some ten to twenty thousand men moved into the region around present - day Yale , British Columbia , sparking the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush . Governor James Douglas was suddenly faced with having to exert British authority over a largely alien population . In order to normalize its jurisdiction , and undercut any Hudsons 's Bay Company claims to the resource wealth of the mainland , the Crown colony of British Columbia was established August 2 , 1858 . In 1866 , it was united with the Colony of Vancouver Island into the United Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia . By the mid-1850s , politicians in the Province of Canada began to contemplate western expansion . They questioned the Hudson 's Bay Company 's tenure of Rupert 's Land and the Arctic territories , and launched a series of exploring expeditions to familiarize themselves and the Canadian population with the geography and climate of the region . Trade with the United States ( edit ) In 1854 , the Governor General of British North America , Lord Elgin , signed a significant trade agreement with the United States on behalf of the colonies . This agreement endured for ten years until the American government abrogated it in 1865 . Confederation ( edit ) Main article : Canadian Confederation John A. Macdonald became the first prime minister of Canada . Effective governance of the United Province of Canada after 1840 required a careful balancing of the interests of French and English - speaking populations ; and between Catholics and Protestants . John A. Macdonald emerged in the 1850s as a personality who could manage that task . A political conservative , MacDonald forged political relationships and coalitions with George - Étienne Cartier , the leader of powerful French Canadian bleus and George Brown of the more stridently reformist English - Canadian and anti-French `` Grits '' , MacDonald came to realize that Canada 's likeliest hope of resisting absorption into the United States was to reform itself into a workable federation . A delegation from the Canadas made its way to a conference being held in Charlottetown in 1864 by representatives from the Maritimes who had intended hold discussions regarding a federation of Nova Scotia , New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island . This conference was followed by a subsequent conference in Quebec City . The Seventy - Two Resolutions from the 1864 Quebec Conference laid out the framework for uniting British colonies in North America into a federation . They were adopted by the majority of the provinces of Canada and became the basis for the London Conference of 1866 , which led to the formation of the Dominion of Canada on July 1 , 1867 . Federation emerged from multiple impulses : the British wanted Canada to defend itself ; the Maritimes needed railroad connections , which were promised in 1867 ; British - Canadian nationalism sought to unite the lands into one country , dominated by the English language and British culture ; many French - Canadians saw an opportunity to exert political control within a new largely French - speaking Quebec . Finally , but by no means least significant , were fears of possible U.S. expansion northward in the wake of the end of the United States Civil War . On a political level , there was a desire for the expansion of responsible government and elimination of the legislative deadlock between Upper and Lower Canada , and their replacement with provincial legislatures in a federation . This was especially pushed by the liberal Reform movement of Upper Canada and the French - Canadian rouges in Lower Canada who favoured a decentralized union in comparison to the Upper Canadian Conservative party and to some degree the French - Canadian bleus which favoured a centralized union . Even Queen Victoria was supportive , noting `` ... the impossibility of our being able to hold Canada , but we must struggle for it ; and by far the best solution would be to let it go as an independent kingdom under an English prince . '' In the end Canada went as a Dominion under the Crown of the United Kingdom itself . It was a fresh start , but not one that was greeted with universal joy . While some envisaged Confederation for the British North American colonies as a way forward together , La Minerve , a newspaper in the new Province of Quebec endorsed the federation because it provided `` la seule voie qui nous soit offerte pour arriver à l'indépendance politique . '' ( `` the only way offered to us to achieve political independence '' ) . A change of heart toward Confederation was evident in Halifax , Nova Scotia , where the Morning Chronicle newspaper announced on the front page of its July 1 , 1867 , edition the death of `` the free and enlightened Province of Nova Scotia '' .

"Canada first came under British rule with the Treaty of Paris (1763) which ceded New France, of which Canada was a part, to the British Empire. Gradually, other territories, colonies, and provinces that were part of British North America would be added to Canada. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 enlarged the colony of Canada under the name of the Province of Quebec, which with the Constitutional Act 1791 became known as The Canadas. With the Act of Union 1840 Upper and Lower Canada were joined to become the United Province of Canada. Later, with Confederation in 1867, the British maritime colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were joined with the British colony of Canada to form the Dominion of Canada, which was subsequently divided into four provinces, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. A number of other British colonies, such as Newfoundland and British Columbia, and large territories such as Rupert's Land initially remained outside of the newly formed federation. Over time, the remaining colonies and territories within British North America came under the control of Canada until the current geographic extent of the country was reached when Newfoundland and Labrador joined Canada in 1949.[1][2] Although confederation in 1867 led to an enlarged Dominion with increased autonomy over domestic affairs, Canada still remained a colony within the British Empire and was thus subordinate to the British Parliament until the enactment of the Statute of Westminster in 1931. This statute recognized Canada as an independent peer coequal with the United Kingdom, and thus provided the Parliament of Canada with legislative sovereignty over all federal matters except the power to change the constitutional laws of Canada which remained under the purview of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Canada's final vestige of legal dependence on the United Kingdom was terminated in 1982 with the enactment of the Canada Act, subsequently providing Canada with full legal sovereignty completely independent of the United Kingdom."

The Memphis Belle , a Boeing - built B - 17F - 10 - BO , manufacturer 's serial number 3470 , USAAC Serial No. 41 - 24485 , was added to the USAAF inventory on 15 July 1942 , and delivered in September 1942 to the 91st Bombardment Group at Dow Field , Bangor , Maine . She deployed to Prestwick , Scotland , on 30 September 1942 , moving to a temporary base at RAF Kimbolton on 1 October , and then finally to her permanent base at RAF Bassingbourn , England , on 14 October . Each side of the fuselage bore the unit and aircraft identification markings of a B - 17 of the 324th Bomb Squadron ( Heavy ) ; the squadron code `` DF '' and individual aircraft letter `` A . '' Captain Robert K. Morgan 's crew flew 29 combat missions with the 324th Bomb Squadron , all but four in the Memphis Belle . The aircraft 's 25 combat missions , which included eight German aircraft shot down by her crew , were : 7 November 1942 -- Brest , France 9 November 1942 -- St. Nazaire , France 17 November 1942 -- St. Nazaire , France 6 December 1942 -- Lille , France 20 December 1942 * -- Romilly - sur - Seine , France 30 December 1942 -- Lorient , France ( flown by Lt.

Morgan 's crew completed the following missions in B - 17s other than the Memphis Belle : 4 February 1943 -- Emden , Germany ( in B - 17 DF - H 41 - 24515 Jersey Bounce ) 26 February 1943 -- Wilhelmshaven , Germany ( in B - 17 41 - 24515 ) 5 April 1943 -- Antwerp , Belgium ( in B - 17 41 - 24480 Bad Penny ) 4 May 1943 -- Antwerp , Belgium ( in B - 17 41 - 24527 , The Great Speckled Bird ) The aircraft was then flown back to the United States on 8 June 1943 , by a composite crew chosen by the Eighth Air Force from those who had flown combat aboard , led by Capt . Morgan , for a 31 - city war bond tour . Morgan 's original co-pilot was Capt . James A. Verinis , who himself piloted the Memphis Belle for one mission . Verinis was promoted to aircraft commander of another B - 17 for his final 16 missions and finished his tour on 13 May . He rejoined Morgan 's crew as co-pilot for the flight back to the United States . The B - 17 Hell 's Angels ( 41 - 24577 ) of the 303rd Bomb Group completed 25 combat missions on 13 May 1943 , becoming the first B - 17 to complete the feat , one week before the Memphis Belle . Source of the name ( edit ) The aircraft was named after pilot Robert K Morgan 's sweetheart , Margaret Polk , a resident of Memphis , Tennessee . Morgan originally intended to call the aircraft Little One , which was his pet name for her , but after Morgan and copilot Jim Verinis saw the movie Lady for a Night , in which the leading character owns a riverboat named the Memphis Belle , he proposed that name to his crew . Morgan then contacted George Petty at the offices of Esquire magazine and asked him for a pinup drawing to go with the name , which Petty supplied from the magazine 's April 1941 issue . The 91st 's group artist , Corporal Tony Starcer , copied the Petty girl as art on both sides of the forward fuselage , depicting her suit in blue on the aircraft 's port side and in red on the starboard . The nose art later included 25 bomb shapes , one for each mission credit , and eight swastika designs , one for each German aircraft claimed shot down by the crew . Station and crew names were stenciled below station windows on the aircraft after her tour of duty was completed . Post-War history ( edit ) In his memoirs , Morgan claimed that during his publicity tour he flew the B - 17 between the Buncombe County Courthouse and the City Hall of Asheville , North Carolina , his home town . Morgan wrote that after leaving a local airport he decided to buzz the town , telling his copilot , Captain Verinis , `` I think we 'll just drive up over the city and give them a little goodbye salute . '' Morgan turned the bomber down Patton Avenue , a main thoroughfare , toward downtown Asheville . When he observed the courthouse and the city hall ( two tall buildings that are only about 50 ft ( 20 m ) apart ) dead ahead , he lowered his left wing in a 60 degree bank and flew between the structures . He wrote that the city hall housed an AAF weather detachment whose commanding officer allegedly complained immediately to the Pentagon , but was advised by a duty officer that `` Major Morgan ... has been given permission to buzz by General Henry `` Hap '' Arnold .

( March 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) After the war , the Memphis Belle was saved from reclamation at Altus Air Force Base , Oklahoma where she had been consigned since 1 August 1945 , by the efforts of the mayor of Memphis , Walter Chandler . The city of Memphis bought the B - 17 for US $350 ( equivalent to $4,758 in 2017 ) . She was flown to Memphis in July 1946 and stored until the summer of 1949 when she was placed on display at the National Guard armory near the city 's fairgrounds . She sat out - of - doors into the 1980s , slowly deteriorating from weather and vandalism . Souvenir hunters removed almost all of the interior components . Eventually no instruments were left in the cockpit , and virtually every removable piece of the aircraft 's interior had been scavenged , often severing the aircraft 's wiring and control cables in the process . The Memphis Belle on a War Bond campaign at Patterson Field during World War II . In the early 1970s , another mayor had donated the historic aircraft back to the Air Force , but they allowed her to remain in Memphis contingent on her being maintained . Efforts by the locally organized Memphis Belle Memorial Association , Inc . ( MBMA ) saw the aircraft moved to Mud Island in the Mississippi River in 1987 for display in a new pavilion with large tarp cover . She was still open to the elements , however , and prone to weathering . Pigeons would also nest inside the tarp and droppings were constantly needing removal from the B - 17 . Dissatisfaction with the site led to efforts to create a new museum facility in Shelby County . In the summer of 2003 the Belle was disassembled and moved to a restoration facility at the former Naval Air Station Memphis in Millington , Tennessee for work . In September 2004 , however , the National Museum of the United States Air Force , apparently tiring of the ups and downs of the city 's attempts to preserve the aircraft , indicated that they wanted her back for restoration and eventual display at the museum at Wright - Patterson AFB near Dayton , Ohio . The Memphis Belle - The Final Chapter in Memphis , a documentary film by Ken Axmaker , Jr. , focuses on the history of the Belle in Memphis and emphasizes the final days and the volunteers who tried to keep one of the most famous aircraft in the world and another Memphis icon from disappearing . Move to Dayton ( edit ) Memphis Belle during refurbishment in 2011 . Memphis Belle after refurbishment was completed in 2018 . On 30 August 2005 , the MBMA announced that a consultant that they hired determined that the MBMA would not be able to raise enough money to restore the Belle and otherwise fulfill the Air Force 's requirements to keep possession of the aircraft . They announced plans to return the aircraft to the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright - Patterson AFB near Dayton , Ohio , after a final exhibition at an airshow in Millington , Tennessee from 30 September -- 2 October 2005 . The Belle arrived safely at the museum in mid-October 2005 and was placed in one of the Museum 's restoration hangars . The Museum placed restoration of Memphis Belle near the top of its priorities . In the magazine Friends Journal of the museum 's foundation , Major General Charles D. Metcalf , USAF ( Ret ) , then the director of the museum , stated that it might take eight to 10 years to fully restore the aircraft . By the spring of 2009 , considerable preparatory work had been accomplished , but the fuselage and wings were still disassembled . After stripping the paint from the aft fuselage of the aircraft , hundreds of names and personal messages were found scratched in the aluminum skin . It turned out that , during the aircraft 's war bond tour , people were allowed to leave their mark there . In May 2017 the museum announced the goal of completing the restoration and putting the Memphis Belle on display by May 17 , 2018 , the 75th anniversary of the plane 's 25th mission . On March 19 , 2018 the Memphis Belle was moved into the WWII Gallery at the National Museum of the United States Air Force , and was officially unveiled May 17 , 2018 . Memphis Belle film ( 1990 ) ( edit ) Main article : Memphis Belle ( film ) The B - 17 that portrayed Memphis Belle in the 1990 film at the Joint Service Open House at Andrews Air Force Base in 2008 . Five airworthy B - 17s were used in the filming of the 1990 British - American war drama film Memphis Belle , two from the US ( N - 17W -- now on display in Seattle and Movie Memphis Belle 44 - 83546 ) , B - 17G Sally B from the UK and two French geographic survey B - 17Gs , one of which crashed on take - off near the end of filming . The B - 17Gs had some sections converted into a B - 17F configuration for the film . A former civilian firebomber , B - 17G - 85 - DL , AAC Serial No. 44 - 83546 , FAA registered N3703G , was converted by installing a Sperry top turret , early - style tail gunner 's compartment and waist gunner 's positions , and omitting the chin turret . After appearing in the film , this plane continues to make air show appearances as Movie Memphis Belle in that configuration . Originally painted with the Warner Brothers movie version of the nose art and markings , the B - 17 ( owned by restaurateur David Tallichet until his death in 2007 ) now carries the historic markings found on the actual Memphis Belle . That aircraft is currently leased by the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo , New York and provides historical flight experiences to the public . The Sally B , used in film , is the last airworthy B - 17 in the United Kingdom and is based at the Imperial War Museum , Duxford . She is part of the USAAC World War II Memorial Flight and makes dozens of appearances across the United Kingdom and Northern Europe . She is maintained and run by volunteers , relying solely upon donations . In addition to the airworthy B - 17s , others were used as planes visible at the airbase in the film , but not as the Memphis Belle . One example , B - 17F - 70 - BO , Serial number 42 - 29782 , is located at the Museum of Flight , Seattle , WA . Boeing Bee has been completely restored and is potentially airworthy once again . Other aircraft named Memphis Belle ( edit ) A Republic F - 105D Thunderchief ( AF Ser . No. 60 - 0504 ) from 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing based at Takhli Royal Thai Air Base during the Vietnam War was named Memphis Belle II in honor of the original B - 17F . The aircraft claimed two MiG - 17 kills in addition to numerous bombing missions , and was the last F - 105 to fly . It is currently preserved at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright - Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton , Ohio . She was donated in April 1990 . A Rockwell B - 1B Lancer ( AF Ser . No. 86 - 0133 ) was named Memphis Belle . In 1996 , Colonel Robert K. Morgan , pilot of the original Memphis Belle , received the opportunity to fly in this aircraft , while she served with the Georgia Air National Guard 's 116th Bomb Wing at Robins AFB , Georgia . A General Dynamics FB - 111A Aardvark ( AF Ser . No. 68 - 0267 ) was also nicknamed Memphis Belle II for a period during the 1980s . She is currently located at the Strategic Air Command Museum , located in Ashland , Nebraska . Two Boeing B - 52 Stratofortresses have carried the name Memphis Belle B - 52G ( AF Ser . No. 59 - 2594 ) was named Memphis Belle III and took part in the 1991 Gulf War . That aircraft was retired from active service as the B - 52G was phased out of USAF service and sent to the AMARC at Davis - Monthan AFB , Arizona in October , 1992 . The first B - 52H ( AF Ser . No. 60 - 0001 ) was named Memphis Belle IV and is currently assigned to the 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base , Louisiana , having seen action in both Iraq and Afghanistan in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom . A McDonnell Douglas F - 15E ( AF Ser . No 89 - 0485 ) from the 336th Fighter Squadron , 4th Fighter Wing , flew with the nose art `` Memphis Belle III '' during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 . A Lockheed C - 141 Starlifter ( AF Ser . No 67 - 0024 ) became the Memphis Belle V. She was transferred to the AMARC inventory upon the retirement of all C - 141s from active service in the U.S. Air Force , to include the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard . A Lockheed C - 5 Galaxy ( AF Ser . No. 69 - 0025 ) was named the Memphis Belle X was assigned to the 164th Airlift Wing of the Tennessee Air National Guard at Memphis Air National Guard Base . A Boeing C - 17 Globemaster III ( AF Ser . No. 93 - 0600 ) is named the Memphis Belle XI assigned currently to the 164th Airlift Wing of the Tennessee Air National Guard at Memphis Air National Guard Base . Pinnacle Airlines ' first Bombardier CRJ ( N8390A ) is named Spirit of Memphis Belle .

"Memphis Belle is a Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress used during the Second World War that inspired the making of two motion pictures: a 1944 documentary film, Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress, and a 1990 Hollywood feature film, Memphis Belle. The aircraft was one of the first United States Army Air Forces B-17 heavy bombers to complete 25 combat missions. The aircraft and crew then returned to the United States to sell war bonds.[2] In 2005, restoration began on the aircraft at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio where, from May 2018, it is on display.[3][4]\n"

-3950506216714528080 | Big Five personality traits | Big Five personality traits - wikipedia Big Five personality traits Jump to : navigation , search The relationship between the big five personality traits The Big Five personality traits , also known as the five factor model ( FFM ) , is a model based on common language descriptors of personality . When factor analysis ( a statistical technique ) is applied to personality survey data , some words used to describe aspects of personality are often applied to the same person . For example , someone described as conscientious is more likely to be described as `` always prepared '' rather than `` messy '' . This theory is based therefore on the association between words but not on neuropsychological experiments . This theory uses descriptors of common language and therefore suggests five broad dimensions commonly used to describe the human personality and psyche . The five factors have been defined as openness to experience , conscientiousness , extraversion , agreeableness , and neuroticism , often represented by the acronyms OCEAN or CANOE . Beneath each proposed global factor , there are a number of correlated and more specific primary factors . For example , extraversion is said to include such related qualities as gregariousness , assertiveness , excitement seeking , warmth , activity , and positive emotions . That these underlying factors can be found is consistent with the lexical hypothesis : personality characteristics that are most important in peoples ' lives will eventually become a part of their language and , secondly , that more important personality characteristics are more likely to be encoded into language as a single word . The five factors are : Openness to experience ( inventive / curious vs. consistent / cautious ) . Appreciation for art , emotion , adventure , unusual ideas , curiosity , and variety of experience . Openness reflects the degree of intellectual curiosity , creativity and a preference for novelty and variety a person has . It is also described as the extent to which a person is imaginative or independent and depicts a personal preference for a variety of activities over a strict routine . High openness can be perceived as unpredictability or lack of focus , and more likely to engage in risky behaviour or drug taking . Also , individuals that have high openness tend to lean towards being artists or writers in regards to being creative and appreciate the significance of the intellectual and artistic pursuits . Moreover , individuals with high openness are said to pursue self - actualization specifically by seeking out intense , euphoric experiences . Conversely , those with low openness seek to gain fulfillment through perseverance and are characterized as pragmatic and data - driven -- sometimes even perceived to be dogmatic and closed - minded . Some disagreement remains about how to interpret and contextualize the openness factor . Conscientiousness ( efficient / organized vs. easy - going / careless ) . A tendency to be organized and dependable , show self - discipline , act dutifully , aim for achievement , and prefer planned rather than spontaneous behavior . High conscientiousness is often perceived as stubbornness and obsession . Low conscientiousness is associated with flexibility and spontaneity , but can also appear as sloppiness and lack of reliability . Extraversion ( outgoing / energetic vs. solitary / reserved ) . Energy , positive emotions , surgency , assertiveness , sociability and the tendency to seek stimulation in the company of others , and talkativeness . High extraversion is often perceived as attention - seeking , and domineering . Low extraversion causes a reserved , reflective personality , which can be perceived as aloof or self - absorbed . Extroverted people tend to be more dominant in social settings , opposed to introverted people who may act more shy and reserved in this setting . Agreeableness ( friendly / compassionate vs. challenging / detached ) . A tendency to be compassionate and cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic towards others . It is also a measure of one 's trusting and helpful nature , and whether a person is generally well - tempered or not . High agreeableness is often seen as naive or submissive . Low agreeableness personalities are often competitive or challenging people , which can be seen as argumentativeness or untrustworthiness . Neuroticism ( sensitive / nervous vs. secure / confident ) . Neuroticism identifies certain people who are more prone to psychological stress . The tendency to experience unpleasant emotions easily , such as anger , anxiety , depression , and vulnerability . Neuroticism also refers to the degree of emotional stability and impulse control and is sometimes referred to by its low pole , `` emotional stability '' . A high stability manifests itself as a stable and calm personality , but can be seen as uninspiring and unconcerned . A low stability expresses as a reactive and excitable personality , often very dynamic individuals , but they can be perceived as unstable or insecure . It has also been researched that individuals with higher levels of tested neuroticism , tend to have worse psychological well being . People who do n't exhibit a clear tendency towards specific characteristics chosen from the above - mentioned related pairs in all five dimensions are considered adaptable , moderate and reasonable personalities , but can be perceived as unprincipled , inscrutable and calculating . The Big five personality traits was the model to comprehend the relationship between personality and academic behaviors . This model was defined by several independent sets of researchers . These researchers began by studying relationships between a large number of known personality traits . They reduced the lists of these traits ( arbitrarily ) by 5 -- 10 fold and then used factor analysis to group the remaining traits ( using data mostly based upon people 's estimations , in self - report questionnaire and peer ratings ) in order to find the underlying factors of personality . The initial model was advanced by Ernest Tupes and Raymond Christal in 1961 , but failed to reach an academic audience until the 1980s . In 1990 , J.M. Digman advanced his five - factor model of personality , which Lewis Goldberg extended to the highest level of organization . These five overarching domains have been found to contain and subsume most known personality traits and are assumed to represent the basic structure behind all personality traits . At least four sets of researchers have worked independently for decades on this problem and have identified generally the same five factors : Tupes and Christal were first , followed by Goldberg at the Oregon Research Institute , Cattell at the University of Illinois , and Costa and McCrae at the National Institutes of Health . These four sets of researchers used somewhat different methods in finding the five traits , and thus each set of five factors has somewhat different names and definitions . However , all have been found to be highly inter-correlated and factor - analytically aligned . Studies indicate that the Big Five traits are not nearly as powerful in predicting and explaining actual behavior as are the more numerous facets or primary traits . Each of the Big Five personality traits contains two separate , but correlated , aspects reflecting a level of personality below the broad domains but above the many facet scales that are also part of the Big Five . The aspects are labeled as follows : Volatility and Withdrawal for Neuroticism ; Enthusiasm and Assertiveness for Extraversion ; Intellect and Openness for Openness to Experience ; Industriousness and Orderliness for Conscientiousness ; and Compassion and Politeness for Agreeableness .

People who are open to experience are intellectually curious , open to emotion , sensitive to beauty and willing to try new things . They tend to be , when compared to closed people , more creative and more aware of their feelings . They are also more likely to hold unconventional beliefs . A particular individual , however , may have a high overall openness score and be interested in learning and exploring new cultures but have no great interest in art or poetry . Sample items ( edit ) I have excellent ideas . I am quick to understand things . I use difficult words . I am full of ideas . I am not interested in abstractions . ( reversed ) I do not have a good imagination . ( reversed ) I have difficulty understanding abstract ideas . ( reversed ) Conscientiousness ( edit ) Conscientiousness is a tendency to display self - discipline , act dutifully , and strive for achievement against measures or outside expectations . It is related to the way in which people control , regulate , and direct their impulses . High scores on conscientiousness indicate a preference for planned rather than spontaneous behavior . The average level of conscientiousness rises among young adults and then declines among older adults . Sample items ( edit ) I am always prepared . I pay attention to details . I get chores done right away . I like order . I follow a schedule . I am exacted in my work . I leave my belongings around . ( reversed ) I make a mess of things . ( reversed ) I often forget to put things back in their proper place . ( reversed ) I shirk my duties . ( reversed ) Extraversion ( edit ) Extraversion is characterized by breadth of activities ( as opposed to depth ) , surgency from external activity / situations , and energy creation from external means . The trait is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world . Extraverts enjoy interacting with people , and are often perceived as full of energy . They tend to be enthusiastic , action - oriented individuals . They possess high group visibility , like to talk , and assert themselves . Introverts have lower social engagement and energy levels than extraverts . They tend to seem quiet , low - key , deliberate , and less involved in the social world . Their lack of social involvement should not be interpreted as shyness or depression ; instead they are more independent of their social world than extraverts . Introverts need less stimulation than extraverts and more time alone . This does not mean that they are unfriendly or antisocial ; rather , they are reserved in social situations . Generally , people are a combination of extraversion and introversion , with personality psychologist Eysenck suggesting that these traits are connected somehow to our central nervous system Sample items ( edit ) I am the life of the party . I do n't mind being the center of attention . I feel comfortable around people . I start conversations . I talk to a lot of different people at parties . I do n't talk a lot . ( reversed ) I think a lot before I speak or act . ( reversed ) I do n't like to draw attention to myself . ( reversed ) I am quiet around strangers . ( reversed ) I have no intention of talking in large crowds . ( reversed ) Agreeableness ( edit ) The agreeableness trait reflects individual differences in general concern for social harmony . Agreeable individuals value getting along with others . They are generally considerate , kind , generous , trusting and trustworthy , helpful , and willing to compromise their interests with others . Agreeable people also have an optimistic view of human nature . Disagreeable individuals place self - interest above getting along with others . They are generally unconcerned with others ' well - being , and are less likely to extend themselves for other people . Sometimes their skepticism about others ' motives causes them to be suspicious , unfriendly , and uncooperative . Because agreeableness is a social trait , research has shown that one 's agreeableness positively correlates with the quality of relationships with one 's team members . Agreeableness also positively predicts transformational leadership skills . In a study conducted among 169 participants in leadership positions in a variety of professions , individuals were asked to take a personality test and have two evaluations completed by directly supervised subordinates . Leaders with high levels of agreeableness were more likely to be considered transformational rather than transactional . Although the relationship was not strong , ( r = 0.32 , β = 0.28 , p < 0.01 ) it was the strongest of the Big Five traits . However , the same study showed no predictive power of leadership effectiveness as evaluated by the leader 's direct supervisor . Agreeableness , however , has been found to be negatively related to transactional leadership in the military . A study of Asian military units showed leaders with a high level of agreeableness to be more likely to receive a low rating for transformational leadership skills . Therefore , with further research organizations may be able to determine an individual 's potential for performance based on their personality traits . Sample items ( edit ) I am interested in people . I sympathize with others ' feelings . I have a soft heart . I take time out for others . I feel others ' emotions . I make people feel at ease . I am not really interested in others . ( reversed ) I insult people . ( reversed ) I am not interested in other people 's problems . ( reversed ) I feel little concern for others . ( reversed ) Neuroticism ( edit ) Neuroticism is the tendency to experience negative emotions , such as anger , anxiety , or depression . It is sometimes called emotional instability , or is reversed and referred to as emotional stability . According to Eysenck 's ( 1967 ) theory of personality , neuroticism is interlinked with low tolerance for stress or aversive stimuli . Neuroticism is a classic temperament trait that has been studied in temperament research for decades , before it was adapted by the FFM . Since main properties of temperament traits are stability in life time and its neurophysiological basis , the FFM researchers used these properties of Neuroticism to support their model . Those who score high in neuroticism are emotionally reactive and vulnerable to stress , they also tend to be flippant in the way they express emotion . They are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening , and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult . Their negative emotional reactions tend to persist for unusually long periods of time , which means they are often in a bad mood . For instance , neuroticism is connected to a pessimistic approach toward work , confidence that work impedes personal relationships , and apparent anxiety linked with work . Furthermore , those who score high on neuroticism may display more skin - conductance reactivity than those who score low on neuroticism . These problems in emotional regulation can diminish the ability of a person scoring high on neuroticism to think clearly , make decisions , and cope effectively with stress . Lacking contentment in one 's life achievements can correlate with high neuroticism scores and increase one 's likelihood of falling into clinical depression . Moreover , individuals high in neuroticism tend to experience more negative life events , but neuroticism also changes in response to positive and negative life experiences . At the other end of the scale , individuals who score low in neuroticism are less easily upset and are less emotionally reactive . They tend to be calm , emotionally stable , and free from persistent negative feelings . Freedom from negative feelings does not mean that low - scorers experience a lot of positive feelings . Neuroticism is similar but not identical to being neurotic in the Freudian sense ( i.e. , neurosis . ) Some psychologists prefer to call neuroticism by the term emotional instability to differentiate it from the term neurotic in a career test .

I am relaxed most of the time . ( reversed ) I seldom feel blue . ( reversed ) History ( edit ) Early trait research ( edit ) In 1884 , Sir Francis Galton was the first person who is known to have investigated the hypothesis that it is possible to derive a comprehensive taxonomy of human personality traits by sampling language : the lexical hypothesis . In 1936 , Gordon Allport and S. Odbert put Sir Francis Galton 's hypothesis into practice by extracting 4,504 adjectives which they believed were descriptive of observable and relatively permanent traits from the dictionaries at that time . In 1940 , Raymond Cattell retained the adjectives , and eliminated synonyms to reduce the total to 171 . He constructed a self - report instrument for the clusters of personality traits he found from the adjectives , which he called the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire . Based on a subset of only 20 of the 36 dimensions that Cattell had originally discovered , Ernest Tupes and Raymond Christal claimed to have found just five broad factors which they labeled : `` surgency '' , `` agreeableness '' , `` dependability '' , `` emotional stability '' , and `` culture '' . Warren Norman subsequently relabeled `` dependability '' as `` conscientiousness '' . Hiatus in research ( edit ) For the next two decades , the changing zeitgeist made publication of personality research difficult . In his 1968 book Personality and Assessment , Walter Mischel asserted that personality instruments could not predict behavior with a correlation of more than 0.3 . Social psychologists like Mischel argued that attitudes and behavior were not stable , but varied with the situation . Predicting behavior from personality instruments was claimed to be impossible . However , it has subsequently been demonstrated empirically that the magnitude of the predictive correlations with real - life criteria can increase significantly under stressful emotional conditions ( as opposed to the typical administration of personality measures under neutral emotional conditions ) , thereby accounting for a significantly greater proportion of the predictive variance . In addition , emerging methodologies challenged this point of view during the 1980s . Instead of trying to predict single instances of behavior , which was unreliable , researchers found that they could predict patterns of behavior by aggregating large numbers of observations . As a result , correlations between personality and behavior increased substantially , and it was clear that `` personality '' did in fact exist . Personality and social psychologists now generally agree that both personal and situational variables are needed to account for human behavior . Trait theories became justified , and there was a resurgence of interest in this area . In the 1980s , Lewis Goldberg started his own lexical project , emphasizing five broad factors once again . He later coined the term `` Big Five '' as a label for the factors . Renewed attention ( edit ) In a 1980 symposium in Honolulu , four prominent researchers , Lewis Goldberg , Naomi Takemoto - Chock , Andrew Comrey , and John M. Digman , reviewed the available personality instruments of the day . This event was followed by widespread acceptance of the five - factor model among personality researchers during the 1980s . Peter Saville and his team included the five - factor `` Pentagon '' model with the original OPQ in 1984 . Pentagon was closely followed by the NEO five - factor personality inventory , published by Costa and McCrae in 1985 . However , the methodology employed in constructing the NEO instrument has been subjected to critical scrutiny ( see section below ) . Biological and developmental factors ( edit ) Temperament vs. personality ( edit ) There are debates between researchers of temperament and researchers of personality as to whether or not biologically - based differences define a concept of temperament or a part of personality . The presence of such differences in pre-cultural individuals ( such as animals or young infants ) suggests that they belong to temperament since personality is a socio - cultural concept . For this reason developmental psychologists generally interpret individual differences in children as an expression of temperament rather than personality . Some researchers argue that temperaments and personality traits are age - specific manifestations of virtually the same latent qualities . Some believe that early childhood temperaments may become adolescent and adult personality traits as individuals ' basic genetic characteristics actively , reactively , and passively interact with their changing environments . Researchers of adult temperament point out that , similarly to sex , age and mental illness , temperament is based on biochemical systems whereas personality is a product of socialization of an individual possessing these four types of features . Temperament interacts with social - cultural factors , but still can not be controlled or easily changed by these factors . Therefore , it is suggested that temperament should be kept as an independent concept for further studies and not be conflated with personality . Moreover , temperament refers to dynamical features of behaviour ( energetic , tempo , sensitivity and emotionality - related ) , whereas personality is to be considered a psycho - social construct comprising the content characteristics of human behavior ( such as values , attitudes , habits , preferences , personal history , self - image ) . Temperament researchers point out that the lack of attention to extant temperament research by the developers of the Big Five model lead to an overlap between its dimensions and dimensions described in multiple temperament models much earlier . For example , neuroticism reflects the traditional temperament dimension of emotionality , extraversion the temperament dimension of `` energy '' or `` activity '' , and openness to experience the temperament dimension of sensation - seeking . Heritability ( edit ) Personality research conducted on twin subjects suggests that both heritable and environmental factors contribute to the Big Five personality traits . Genetically informative research , including twin studies , suggest that heritability and environmental factors both influence all five factors to the same degree . Among four recent twin studies , the mean percentage for heritability was calculated for each personality and it was concluded that heritability influenced the five factors broadly . The self - report measures were as follows : openness to experience was estimated to have a 57 % genetic influence , extraversion 54 % , conscientiousness 49 % , neuroticism 48 % , and agreeableness 42 % . Non-humans ( edit ) The Big 5 personality traits can be seen in chimpanzees . The Big Five personality traits have been assessed in some non-human species but methodology is debatable . In one series of studies , human ratings of chimpanzees using the Hominoid Personality Questionnaire , revealed factors of extraversion , conscientiousness and agreeableness -- as well as an additional factor of dominance -- across hundreds of chimpanzees in zoological parks , a large naturalistic sanctuary , and a research laboratory . Neuroticism and openness factors were found in an original zoo sample , but were not replicated in a new zoo sample or in other settings ( perhaps reflecting the design of the CPQ ) . A study review found that markers for the three dimensions extraversion , neuroticism , and agreeableness were found most consistently across different species , followed by openness ; only chimpanzees showed markers for conscientious behavior . Development during childhood and adolescence ( edit ) Research on the Big Five , and personality in general , has focused primarily on individual differences in adulthood , rather than in childhood and adolescence , and often include temperament traits . Yet , recent studies have begun to explore the developmental origins and trajectories of the Big Five among children and adolescents , especially those that relate to temperament . Contrary to some researchers who question whether children have stable personality traits , Big Five or otherwise , most researchers contend that there are significant psychological differences between children that are associated with relatively stable , distinct , and salient behavior patterns . Some of these differences are evident at , if not before , birth . For example , both parents and researchers recognize that some newborn infants are peaceful and easily soothed while others are comparatively fussy and hard to calm . The structure , manifestations , and development of the Big Five in childhood and adolescence has been studied using a variety of methods , including parent - and teacher - ratings , preadolescent and adolescent self - and peer - ratings , and observations of parent - child interactions . Results from these studies support the relative stability of personality traits across the human lifespan , at least from preschool age through adulthood . More specifically , research suggests that four of the Big Five -- namely Extraversion , Neuroticism , Conscientiousness , and Agreeableness - reliably describe personality differences in childhood , adolescence , and adulthood . However , some evidence suggests that Openness may not be a fundamental , stable part of childhood personality . Although some researchers have found that Openness in children and adolescents relates to attributes such as creativity , curiosity , imagination , and intellect , many researchers have failed to find distinct individual differences in Openness in childhood and early adolescence . Potentially , Openness may ( a ) manifest in unique , currently unknown ways in childhood or ( b ) may only manifest as children develop socially and cognitively . Other studies have found evidence for all of the Big Five traits in childhood and adolescence as well as two other child - specific traits : Irritability and Activity . Despite these specific differences , the majority of findings suggest that personality traits -- particularly Extraversion , Neuroticism , Conscientiousness , and Agreeableness - are evident in childhood and adolescence and are associated with distinct social - emotional patterns of behavior that are largely consistent with adult manifestations of those same personality traits . Extraversion / positive emotionality ( edit ) In Big Five studies , extraversion has been associated with surgency . Children with high Extraversion are energetic , talkative , social , and dominant with children and adults ; whereas , children with low Extraversion tend to be quiet , calm , inhibited , and submissive to other children and adults . Individual differences in Extraversion first manifest in infancy as varying levels of positive emotionality . These differences in turn predict social and physical activity during later childhood and may represent , or be associated with , the behavioral activation system . In children , Extraversion / Positive Emotionality includes four sub-traits : three traits that are similar to the previously described traits of temperament -- activity , sociability , shyness , and the trait of dominance . Activity : Similarly to findings in temperament research , children with high activity tend to have high energy levels and more intense and frequent motor activity compared to their peers . Salient differences in activity reliably manifest in infancy , persist through adolescence , and fade as motor activity decreases in adulthood or potentially develops into talkativeness . Dominance : Children with high dominance tend to influence the behavior of others , particularly their peers , to obtain desirable rewards or outcomes . Such children are generally skilled at organizing activities and games and deceiving others by controlling their nonverbal behavior . Shyness : Children with high shyness are generally socially withdrawn , nervous , and inhibited around strangers . In time , such children may become fearful even around `` known others '' , especially if their peers reject them . Similar pattern was described in temperament longitudinal studies of shyness Sociability : Children with high sociability generally prefer to be with others rather than alone . During middle childhood , the distinction between low sociability and high shyness becomes more pronounced , particularly as children gain greater control over how and where they spend their time . Development throughout adulthood ( edit ) Many studies of longitudinal data , which correlate people 's test scores over time , and cross-sectional data , which compare personality levels across different age groups , show a high degree of stability in personality traits during adulthood , especially Neuroticism trait that is often regarded as a temperament trait similarly to longitudinal research in temperament for the same traits . It is shown that the personality stabilizes for working - age individuals within about four years after starting working . There is also little evidence that adverse life events can have any significant impact on the personality of individuals . More recent research and meta - analyses of previous studies , however , indicate that change occurs in all five traits at various points in the lifespan . The new research shows evidence for a maturation effect . On average , levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness typically increase with time , whereas extraversion , neuroticism , and openness tend to decrease . Research has also demonstrated that changes in Big Five personality traits depend on the individual 's current stage of development . For example , levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness demonstrate a negative trend during childhood and early adolescence before trending upwards during late adolescence and into adulthood . In addition to these group effects , there are individual differences : different people demonstrate unique patterns of change at all stages of life . In addition , some research ( Fleeson , 2001 ) suggests that the Big Five should not be conceived of as dichotomies ( such as extraversion vs. introversion ) but as continua . Each individual has the capacity to move along each dimension as circumstances ( social or temporal ) change . He is or she is therefore not simply on one end of each trait dichotomy but is a blend of both , exhibiting some characteristics more often than others : Research regarding personality with growing age has suggested that as individuals enter their elder years ( 79 -- 86 ) , those with lower IQ see a raise in extraversion , but a decline in conscientiousness and physical well being . Research by Cobb - Clark and Schurer indicates that personality traits are generally stable among adult workers . The research done on personality also mirrors previous results on locus of control . Group differences ( edit ) Gender differences ( edit ) Cross-cultural research has shown some patterns of gender differences on responses to the NEO-PI - R and the Big Five Inventory . For example , women consistently report higher Neuroticism , Agreeableness , warmth ( an extraversion facet ) and openness to feelings , and men often report higher assertiveness ( a facet of extraversion ) and openness to ideas as assessed by the NEO-PI - R . A study of gender differences in 55 nations using the Big Five Inventory found that women tended to be somewhat higher than men in neuroticism , extraversion , agreeableness , and conscientiousness . The difference in neuroticism was the most prominent and consistent , with significant differences found in 49 of the 55 nations surveyed . Gender differences in personality traits are largest in prosperous , healthy , and more gender - egalitarian cultures . A plausible explanation for this is that acts by women in individualistic , egalitarian countries are more likely to be attributed to their personality , rather than being attributed to ascribed gender roles within collectivist , traditional countries . Differences in the magnitude of sex differences between more or less developed world regions were due to differences between men , not women , in these respective regions . That is , men in highly developed world regions were less neurotic , extraverted , conscientious and agreeable compared to men in less developed world regions . Women , on the other hand tended not to differ in personality traits across regions . The most simple explanation for this gender data is that women remain relatively resource - poor , regardless of the circumstances of males within a first - world country . However , the authors of this study speculated that resource - poor environments ( that is , countries with low levels of development ) may inhibit the development of gender differences , whereas resource - rich environments facilitate them . This may be because males require more resources than females in order to reach their full developmental potential . The authors also argued that due to different evolutionary pressures , men may have evolved to be more risk taking and socially dominant , whereas women evolved to be more cautious and nurturing . Ancient hunter - gatherer societies may have been more egalitarian than later agriculturally oriented societies . Hence , the development of gender inequalities may have acted to constrain the development of gender differences in personality that originally evolved in hunter - gatherer societies . As modern societies have become more egalitarian , again , it may be that innate sex differences are no longer constrained and hence manifest more fully than in less - developed cultures . Currently , this hypothesis remains untested , as gender differences in modern societies have not been compared with those in hunter - gatherer societies . Birth - order differences ( edit ) Main article : Birth order Frank Sulloway argues that firstborns are more conscientious , more socially dominant , less agreeable , and less open to new ideas compared to laterborns . Large - scale studies using random samples and self - report personality tests , however , have found milder effects than Sulloway claimed , or no significant effects of birth order on personality . In 2002 , the journal of psychology posted a Big Five Personality Trait Difference ; Researchers explored relationship between the five factor model and the Universal - Diverse Orientation ( UDO ) in councillor trainees. ( Thompson , R. , Brossart , D. , and Mivielle , A. , 2002 ) UDO is known as one social attitude that produces a strong awareness and / or acceptance towards the similaralities and difference among individuals . ( Miville , M. , Romas , J. , Johnson , J. , and Lon , R. 2002 ) The study has shown the councillor trainees that are more open to the idea of creative expressions among individuals are more likely to work with a diverse group of clients , and feel comfortable in their role . ( Thompson , R. et al. 2002 ) Cultural differences ( edit ) Main article : Big Five personality traits and culture The Big Five have been pursued in a variety of languages and cultures , such as German , Chinese , Indian , etc . For example , Thompson has claimed to find the Big Five structure across several cultures using an international English language scale . Cheung , van de Vijver , and Leong ( 2011 ) suggest , however , that the Openness factor is particularly unsupported in Asian countries and that a different fifth factor is identified . Recent work has found relationships between Geert Hofstede 's cultural factors , Individualism , Power Distance , Masculinity , and Uncertainty Avoidance , with the average Big Five scores in a country . For instance , the degree to which a country values individualism correlates with its average extraversion , whereas people living in cultures which are accepting of large inequalities in their power structures tend to score somewhat higher on conscientiousness . Attempts to replicate the Big Five in other countries with local dictionaries have succeeded in some countries but not in others . Apparently , for instance , Hungarians do not appear to have a single agreeableness factor . Other researchers have found evidence for agreeableness but not for other factors . It is important to recognize that individual differences in traits are relevant in a specific cultural context , and that the traits do not have their effects outside of that context Relationships ( edit ) Personality disorders ( edit ) Main article : Personality disorders As of 2002 , there were over fifty published studies relating the FFM to personality disorders . Since that time , quite a number of additional studies have expanded on this research base and provided further empirical support for understanding the DSM personality disorders in terms of the FFM domains . In her review of the personality disorder literature published in 2007 , Lee Anna Clark asserted that `` the five - factor model of personality is widely accepted as representing the higher - order structure of both normal and abnormal personality traits '' . However , other researches disagree that this model is widely accepted ( see the section Critique below ) and suggest that it simply replicates early temperament research . Noticeably , FFM publications never compare their findings to temperament models even though temperament and mental disorders ( especially personality disorders ) are thought to be based on the same neurotransmitter imbalances , just to varying degrees . The five - factor model was claimed to significantly predict all ten personality disorder symptoms and outperform the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory ( MMPI ) in the prediction of borderline , avoidant , and dependent personality disorder symptoms . However , most predictions related to an increase in Neuroticism and a decrease in Agreeableness , and therefore did not differentiate between the disorders very well . Common mental disorders ( edit ) Average deviation of five factor personality profile of heroin users from the population mean . N stands for Neuroticism , E for Extraversion , O for Openness to experience , A for Agreeableness and C for Conscientiousness . Converging evidence from several nationally representative studies has established three classes of mental disorders which are especially common in the general population : Depressive disorders ( e.g. , major depressive disorder ( MDD ) , dysthymic disorder ) , anxiety disorders ( e.g. , generalized anxiety disorder ( GAD ) , post-traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ) , panic disorder , agoraphobia , specific phobia , and social phobia ) , and substance use disorders ( SUDs ) . These common mental disorders ( CMDs ) have been empirically linked to the Big Five personality traits , neuroticism in particular . Numerous studies have found that having high scores of neuroticism significantly increases one 's risk for developing a CMD . A large - scale meta - analysis ( n > 75,000 ) examining the relationship between all of the Big Five personality traits and CMDs found that low conscientiousness yielded consistently strong effects for each CMD examined ( i.e. , MDD , dysthymic disorder , GAD , PTSD , panic disorder , agoraphobia , social phobia , specific phobia , and SUD ) . This finding parallels research on physical health , which has established that conscientiousness is the strongest personality predictor of mortality and is highly correlated with making poor health choices . In regards to the other personality domains , the meta - analysis found that all CMDs examined were defined by high neuroticism , most exhibited low extraversion , only SUD was linked to agreeableness ( negatively ) , and no disorders were associated with Openness . A meta - analysis of 59 longitudinal studies showed that high neuroticism predicted the development of anxiety , depression , substance abuse , psychosis , schizophrenia , and non-specific mental distress , also after adjustment for baseline symptoms and psychiatric history . The personality - psychopathology models ( edit ) Five major models have been posed to explain the nature of the relationship between personality and mental illness . There is currently no single `` best model '' , as each of them has received at least some empirical support . It is also important to note that these models are not mutually exclusive -- more than one may be operating for a particular individual and various mental disorders may be explained by different models . The Vulnerability / Risk Model : According to this model , personality contributes to the onset or etiology of various common mental disorders . In other words , pre-existing personality traits either cause the development of CMDs directly or enhance the impact of causal risk factors . There is strong support for neuroticism being a robust vulnerability factor . The Pathoplasty Model : This model proposes that premorbid personality traits impact the expression , course , severity , and / or treatment response of a mental disorder . An example of this relationship would be a heightened likelihood of committing suicide for a depressed individual who also has low levels of constraint . The Common Cause Model : According to the common cause model , personality traits are predictive of CMDs because personality and psychopathology have shared genetic and environmental determinants which result in non-causal associations between the two constructs . The Spectrum Model : This model proposes that associations between personality and psychopathology are found because these two constructs both occupy a single domain or spectrum and psychopathology is simply a display of the extremes of normal personality function . Support for this model is provided by an issue of criterion overlap . For instance , two of the primary facet scales of neuroticism in the NEO-PI - R are `` depression '' and `` anxiety '' . Thus the fact that diagnostic criteria for depression , anxiety , and neuroticism assess the same content increases the correlations between these domains . The Scar Model : According to the scar model , episodes of a mental disorder ' scar ' an individual 's personality , changing it in significant ways from premorbid functioning . An example of a scar effect would be a decrease in openness to experience following an episode of PTSD . Health ( edit ) Being highly conscientious may add as much as five years to one 's life . The Big Five personality traits also predict positive health outcomes . In an elderly Japanese sample , conscientiousness , extraversion , and openness were related to lower risk of mortality . Education ( edit ) Academic achievement ( edit ) Personality plays an important role that affects academic achievement . A study conducted with 308 undergraduates who completed the Five Factor Inventory Processes and offered their GPA suggested that conscientiousness and agreeableness have a positive relationship with all types of learning styles ( synthesis analysis , methodical study , fact retention , and elaborative processing ) , whereas neuroticism has an inverse relationship with them all . Moreover , extraversion and openness were proportional to elaborative processing . The Big Five personality traits accounted for 14 % of the variance in GPA , suggesting that personality traits make some contributions to academic performance . Furthermore , reflective learning styles ( synthesis - analysis and elaborative processing ) were able to mediate the relationship between openness and GPA . These results indicate that intellectual curiousness has significant enhancement in academic performance if students can combine their scholarly interest with thoughtful information processing .

While not a measure of the Big Five , gifted students also reported less state anxiety than students not in the gifted program . Specific Big Five personality traits predict learning styles in addition to academic success . GPA and exam performance are both predicted by conscientiousness neuroticism is negatively related to academic success openness predicts utilizing synthesis - analysis and elaborative - processing learning styles neuroticism negatively correlates with learning styles in general openness and extraversion both predict all four learning styles . Studies conducted on college students have concluded that hope , which is linked to agreeableness , has a positive effect on psychological well being . Individuals high in neurotic tendencies are less likely to display hopeful tendencies and are negatively associated with well - being . Personality can sometimes be flexible and measuring the big five personality for individuals as they enter certain stages of life may predict their educational identity . Recent studies have suggested the likelihood of an individual 's personality affecting their educational identity . Learning styles ( edit ) Learning styles have been described as `` enduring ways of thinking and processing information '' . Although there is no evidence that personality determines thinking styles , they may be intertwined in ways that link thinking styles to the Big Five personality traits . There is no general consensus on the number or specifications of particular learning styles , but there have been many different proposals . Smeck , Ribicj , and Ramanaih ( 1997 ) defined four types of learning styles : synthesis analysis methodical study fact retention elaborative processing When all four facets are implicated within the classroom , they will each likely improve academic achievement . This model asserts that students develop either agentic / shallow processing or reflective / deep processing . Deep processors are more often than not found to be more conscientious , intellectually open , and extraverted when compared to shallow processors . Deep processing is associated with appropriate study methods ( methodical study ) and a stronger ability to analyze information ( synthesis analysis ) , whereas shallow processors prefer structured fact retention learning styles and are better suited for elaborative processing . The main functions of these four specific learning styles are as follows : Name Function Synthesis analysis : processing information , forming categories , and organizing them into hierarchies . This is the only one of the learning styles that has explained a significant impact on academic performance . Methodical study : methodical behavior while completing academic assignments Fact retention : focusing on the actual result instead of understanding the logic behind something Elaborative processing : connecting and applying new ideas to existing knowledge Openness has been linked to learning styles that often lead to academic success and higher grades like synthesis analysis and methodical study . Because conscientiousness and openness have been shown to predict all four learning styles , it suggests that individuals who possess characteristics like discipline , determination , and curiosity are more likely to engage in all of the above learning styles . According to the research carried out by Komarraju , Karau , Schmeck & Avdic ( 2011 ) , conscientiousness and agreeableness are positively related with all four learning styles , whereas neuroticism was negatively related with those four . Furthermore , extraversion and openness were only positively related to elaborative processing , and openness itself correlated with higher academic achievement . Besides openness , all Big Five personality traits helped predict the educational identity of students . Based on these findings , scientists are beginning to see that there might be a large influence of the Big Five traits on academic motivation that then leads to predicting a student 's academic performance . Some authors suggested that Big Five personality traits combined with learning styles can help predict some variations in the academic performance and the academic motivation of an individual which can then influence their academic achievements . This may be seen because individual differences in personality represent stable approaches to information processing . For instance , conscientiousness has consistently emerged as a stable predictor of success in exam performance , largely because conscientious students experience fewer study delays . The reason conscientiousness shows a positive association with the four learning styles is because students with high levels of conscientiousness develop focused learning strategies and appear to be more disciplined and achievement - oriented . The Association for Psychological Science ( APS ) , however , recently commissioned a report whose conclusion indicates that no significant evidence exists to make the conclusion that learning - style assessments should be included in the education system . The APS also suggested in their report that all existing learning styles have not been exhausted and that there could exist learning styles that have the potential to be worthy of being included in educational practices . Thus it is premature , at best , to conclude that the evidence linking the Big Five to `` learning styles '' , or `` learning styles '' to learning itself , is valid . Work success ( edit ) Controversy exists as to whether or not the Big 5 personality traits are correlated with success in the workplace . Within organizational communication , personality is taken into account of how a person carries themselves in the workplace . The five factor personality theory encompasses five different personalities which are as follows : openness , conscientiousness , extraversion , agreeableness , and neuroticism . Openness is being original and having imagination . Conscientiousness is being goal oriented with a willingness to achieve . Extraversion is being sociable and being an emotionally positive person . Agreeableness is being able to adapt and as a leader make necessary accommodations . The last personality trait was neuroticism which is usually when a leader tends to be negative emotionally and having a need for stability . It is believed that the Big Five traits are predictors of future performance outcomes . Job outcome measures include job and training proficiency and personnel data . However , research demonstrating such prediction has been criticized , in part because of the apparently low correlation coefficients characterizing the relationship between personality and job performance . In a 2007 article co-authored by six current or former editors of psychological journals , Dr. Kevin Murphy , Professor of Psychology at Pennsylvania State University and Editor of the Journal of Applied Psychology ( 1996 -- 2002 ) , states : The problem with personality tests is ... that the validity of personality measures as predictors of job performance is often disappointingly low . The argument for using personality tests to predict performance does not strike me as convincing in the first place . Such criticisms were put forward by Walter Mischel , whose publication caused a two - decades ' long crisis in personality psychometrics . However , later work demonstrated ( 1 ) that the correlations obtained by psychometric personality researchers were actually very respectable by comparative standards , and ( 2 ) that the economic value of even incremental increases in prediction accuracy was exceptionally large , given the vast difference in performance by those who occupy complex job positions . There have been studies that link national innovation to openness to experience and conscientiousness . Those who express these traits have showed leadership and beneficial ideas towards the country of origin . Some businesses , organizations , and interviewers assess individuals based on the Big Five personality traits . Research has suggested that individuals who are considered leaders typically exhibit lower amounts of neurotic traits , maintain higher levels of openness ( envisioning success ) , balanced levels of conscientiousness ( well - organized ) , and balanced levels of extraversion ( outgoing , but not excessive ) . Further studies have linked professional burnout to neuroticism , and extraversion to enduring positive work experience . When it comes to making money , research has suggested that those who are high in agreeableness ( especially men ) are not as successful in accumulating income . Some research suggests that vocational outcomes are correlated to Big Five personality traits . Conscientiousness predicts job performance in general . In addition , research has demonstrated that Agreeableness is negatively related to salary . Those high in Agreeableness make less , on average , than those low in the same trait . Neuroticism is also negatively related to salary while Conscientiousness and Extraversion are positive predictors of salary . Occupational self - efficacy has also been shown to be positively correlated with conscientiousness and negatively correlated with neuroticism . Significant predictors of career - advancement goals are : extraversion , conscientiousness , and agreeableness . Research designed to investigate the individual effects of Big Five personality traits on work performance via worker completed surveys and supervisor ratings of work performance has implicated individual traits in several different work roles performances . A `` work role '' is defined as the responsibilities an individual has while they are working . Nine work roles have been identified , which can be classified in three broader categories : proficiency ( the ability of a worker to effectively perform their work duties ) , adaptivity ( a workers ability to change working strategies in response to changing work environments ) , and proactivity ( extent to which a worker will spontaneously put forth effort to change the work environment ) . These three categories of behavior can then be directed towards three different levels : either the individual , team , or organizational level leading to the nine different work role performance possibilities . Openness is positively related to proactivity at the individual and the organizational levels and is negatively related to team and organizational proficiency . These effects were found to be completely independent of one another . Agreeableness is negatively related to individual task proactivity . Extraversion is negatively related to individual task proficiency . Conscientiousness is positively related to all forms of work role performance . Neuroticism is negatively related to all forms of work role performance . Two theories have been integrated in an attempt to account for these differences in work role performance . Trait activation theory posits that within a person trait levels predict future behavior , that trait levels differ between people , and that work - related cues activate traits which leads to work relevant behaviors . Role theory suggests that role senders provide cues to elicit desired behaviors . In this context , role senders ( i.e. : supervisors , managers , et cetera ) provide workers with cues for expected behaviors , which in turn activates personality traits and work relevant behaviors . In essence , expectations of the role sender lead to different behavioral outcomes depending on the trait levels of individual workers and because people differ in trait levels , responses to these cues will not be universal . Romantic relationships ( edit ) The Big Five model of personality was used for attempts to predict satisfaction in romantic relationships , relationship quality in dating , engaged , and married couples . Dating couples Self - reported relationship quality is negatively related to partner - reported neuroticism and positively related to both self and partner - reported conscientiousness Engaged couples Self - reported relationship quality was higher among those high in partner - reported openness , agreeableness and conscientiousness . Self - reported relationship quality was higher among those high in self - reported extraversion and agreeableness . Self - reported relationship quality is negatively related to both self and partner - reported neuroticism Observers rated the relationship quality higher if the participating partner 's self - reported extraversion was high Married couples High self - reported neuroticism , extraversion , and agreeableness are related to high levels of self - reported relationship quality Partner - reported agreeableness is related to observed relationship quality . These reports are , however , rare and not conclusive . Limitation of the predictive power of personality traits ( edit ) The predictive effects of the Big Five personality traits relate mostly to social functioning and rules - driven behavior and are not very specific for prediction of particular aspects of behavior . For example , it was noted that high neuroticism precedes the development of all common mental disorders. , and this trait does not even always attributed to personality by temperament researchers . Further evidence is required to fully uncover the nature and differences between personality traits , temperament and life outcomes . Social and contextual parameters also play a role in outcomes and the interaction between the two is not yet fully understood . Measurements ( edit ) Several measures of the Big Five exist : International Personality Item Pool ( IPIP ) NEO-PI - R The Ten - Item Personality Inventory ( TIPI ) and the Five Item Personality Inventory ( FIPI ) are very abbreviated rating forms of the Big Five personality traits . Self - descriptive sentence questionnaires Lexical questionnaires Self - report questionnaires Relative - scored Big 5 measure The most frequently used measures of the Big Five comprise either items that are self - descriptive sentences or , in the case of lexical measures , items that are single adjectives . Due to the length of sentence - based and some lexical measures , short forms have been developed and validated for use in applied research settings where questionnaire space and respondent time are limited , such as the 40 - item balanced International English Big - Five Mini-Markers or a very brief ( 10 item ) measure of the Big Five domains . Research has suggested that some methodologies in administering personality tests are inadequate in length and provide insufficient detail to truly evaluate personality . Usually , longer , more detailed questions will give a more accurate portrayal of personality . The five factor structure has been replicated in peer reports . However , many of the substantive findings rely on self - reports . Much of the evidence on the measures of the Big 5 relies on self - report questionnaires , which makes self - report bias and falsification of responses difficult to deal with and account for . It has been argued that the Big Five tests do not create an accurate personality profile because the responses given on these tests are not true in all cases . For example , questionnaires are answered by potential employees who might choose answers that paint them in the best light . Research suggests that a relative - scored Big Five measure in which respondents had to make repeated choices between equally desirable personality descriptors may be a potential alternative to traditional Big Five measures in accurately assessing personality traits , especially when lying or biased responding is present . When compared with a traditional Big Five measure for its ability to predict GPA and creative achievement under both normal and `` fake good '' - bias response conditions , the relative - scored measure significantly and consistently predicted these outcomes under both conditions ; however , the Likert questionnaire lost its predictive ability in the faking condition . Thus , the relative - scored measure proved to be less affected by biased responding than the Likert measure of the Big Five . Andrew H. Schwartz analyzed 700 million words , phrases , and topic instances collected from the Facebook messages of 75,000 volunteers , who also took standard personality tests , and found striking variations in language with personality , gender , and age . Critique ( edit ) The proposed Big Five model has been subjected to considerable critical scrutiny and defense for the model . Subsequent critical replies by Jack Block at the University of California Berkeley followed . It has been argued that there are limitations to the scope of the Big Five model as an explanatory or predictive theory . It has also been argued that measures of the Big Five account for only 56 % of the normal personality trait sphere alone ( not even considering the abnormal personality trait sphere ) . Also , the static Big Five is not theory - driven , it is merely a statistically - driven investigation of certain descriptors that tend to cluster together often based on less than optimal factor analytic procedures . Measures of the Big Five constructs appear to show some consistency in interviews , self - descriptions and observations , and this static five - factor structure seems to be found across a wide range of participants of different ages and cultures . However , while genotypic temperament trait dimensions might appear across different cultures , the phenotypic expression of personality traits differs profoundly across different cultures as a function of the different socio - cultural conditioning and experiential learning that takes place within different cultural settings . Moreover , the fact that the Big Five model was based on lexical hypothesis , ( i.e. on the verbal descriptors of individual differences ) indicated strong methodological flaws in this model , especially related to its main factors , Extraversion and Neuroticism . First , there is a natural pro-social bias of language in people 's verbal evaluations . After all , language is an invention of group dynamics that was developed to facilitate socialization , the exchange of information and to synchronize group activity . This social function of language therefore creates a sociability bias in verbal descriptors of human behaviour : there are more words related to social than physical or even mental aspects of behavior . The sheer number of such descriptors will cause them to group into a largest factor in any language , and such grouping has nothing to do with the way that core systems of individual differences are set up . Second , there is also a negativity bias in emotionality ( i.e. most emotions have negative affectivity ) , and there are more words in language to describe negative rather than positive emotions . Such asymmetry in emotional valence creates another bias in language . Experiments using the lexical hypothesis approach indeed demonstrated that the use of lexical material skews the resulting dimensionality according to a sociability bias of language and a negativity bias of emotionality , grouping all evaluations around these two dimensions . This means that the two largest dimensions in the Big Five model might be just an artifact of the lexical approach that this model employed . Limited scope ( edit ) One common criticism is that the Big Five does not explain all of human personality . Some psychologists have dissented from the model precisely because they feel it neglects other domains of personality , such as religiosity , manipulativeness / machiavellianism , honesty , sexiness / seductiveness , thriftiness , conservativeness , masculinity / femininity , snobbishness / egotism , sense of humour , and risk - taking / thrill - seeking . Dan P. McAdams has called the Big Five a `` psychology of the stranger '' , because they refer to traits that are relatively easy to observe in a stranger ; other aspects of personality that are more privately held or more context - dependent are excluded from the Big Five . In many studies , the five factors are not fully orthogonal to one another ; that is , the five factors are not independent . Orthogonality is viewed as desirable by some researchers because it minimizes redundancy between the dimensions . This is particularly important when the goal of a study is to provide a comprehensive description of personality with as few variables as possible . Methodological issues ( edit ) Factor analysis , the statistical method used to identify the dimensional structure of observed variables , lacks a universally recognized basis for choosing among solutions with different numbers of factors . A five factor solution depends on some degree of interpretation by the analyst . A larger number of factors may underlie these five factors . This has led to disputes about the `` true '' number of factors . Big Five proponents have responded that although other solutions may be viable in a single dataset , only the five factor structure consistently replicates across different studies . Moreover , the factor analysis that this model is based on is a linear method incapable of capturing nonlinear , feedback and contingent relationships between core systems of individual differences . Theoretical status ( edit ) A frequent criticism is that the Big Five is not based on any underlying theory ; it is merely an empirical finding that certain descriptors cluster together under factor analysis . Although this does not mean that these five factors do not exist , the underlying causes behind them are unknown . Jack Block 's final published work before his death in January 2010 drew together his lifetime perspective on the five - factor model . He summarized his critique of the model in terms of : the atheoretical nature of the five - factors . their `` cloudy '' measurement . the model 's inappropriateness for studying early childhood . the use of factor analysis as the exclusive paradigm for conceptualizing personality . the continuing non-consensual understandings of the five - factors . the existence of unrecognized but successful efforts to specify aspects of character not subsumed by the five - factors . He went on to suggest that repeatedly observed higher order factors hierarchically above the proclaimed Big Five personality traits may promise deeper biological understanding of the origins and implications of these superfactors . Marks & Schutte have essayed a theoretical explanation of the Big Five based upon the three biogenic amines of the brain - stem and the emergence of the Berger rhythm in the EEG with the advent of self - consciousness . Essentially , they surmise that CANOE ( the Big Five ) comprise N , O and E due to Nature and C and A due to Nurture , which corresponds to the 60 -- 40 % nature - nurture split held to describe the heritability of personality . Evidence for six factors rather than Five ( edit ) It has been noted that even though early lexical studies in the English language indicated five large groups of personality traits , more recent , and more comprehensive , cross-language studies have provided evidence for six large groups rather than five . These six groups forms the basis of the HEXACO model of personality structure . Based on these findings it has been suggested that the Big Five system should be replaced by HEXACO , or revised to better align with lexical evidence .

"The Big Five personality traits, also known as the five factor model (FFM), is a model based on common language descriptors of personality. When factor analysis (a statistical technique) is applied to personality survey data, some words used to describe aspects of personality are often applied to the same person. For example, someone described as conscientious is more likely to be described as \"always prepared\" rather than \"messy\". This theory is based therefore on the association between words but not on neuropsychological experiments. This theory uses descriptors of common language and therefore suggests five broad dimensions commonly used to describe the human personality and psyche.[1][2] The five factors have been defined as openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism, often represented by the acronyms OCEAN or CANOE. Beneath each proposed global factor, there are a number of correlated and more specific primary factors. For example, extraversion is said to include such related qualities as gregariousness, assertiveness, excitement seeking, warmth, activity, and positive emotions.[3]"

It took place on June 18 , 2017 , at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis , Missouri . It was the eighth event under the Money in the Bank chronology and the first to feature a Women 's Money in the Bank ladder match . Seven matches were contested at the event , including one on the pre-show , and the main card featured two bouts that were the titular match type . The male ladder match , which was the main event , was won by Baron Corbin , who earned a contract for a WWE Championship match , and Carmella controversially won the first - ever women 's ladder match to earn a SmackDown Women 's Championship match contract . In another prominent match , Jinder Mahal defeated Randy Orton to retain the WWE Championship . The event was also notable for the televised in - ring debut of Lana , who lost her SmackDown Women 's Championship match to Naomi , the return of Maria Kanellis , who had last performed in WWE in 2010 , and the WWE debut appearance of her husband Mike Kanellis .

The winner is guaranteed a match for a world championship at a time of their choosing within the next year ; the 2017 match was specifically for a WWE Championship match since the 2017 event was a SmackDown branded pay - per - view . For the first time in the event 's history , the 2017 event featured a Women 's Money in the Bank ladder match with a contract for a SmackDown Women 's Championship match . Storylines ( edit ) See also : Professional wrestling The card included seven matches that resulted from scripted storylines and had results predetermined by WWE on the SmackDown brand . Storylines were produced on WWE 's weekly television show SmackDown Live . At Backlash , Jinder Mahal defeated Randy Orton to win his first WWE Championship with help from The Singh Brothers ( Samir and Sunil Singh ) . On the following episode of SmackDown , Mahal held a Punjabi style celebration , while Commissioner Shane McMahon announced that Orton invoked his championship rematch for Money in the Bank . The following week , Orton declared that he would become a fourteen - time world champion in his hometown at Money in the Bank before he was interrupted by Mahal on the TitanTron . The following week , after Mahal defeated Mojo Rawley , he taunted Orton , who later responded that he had received supportive phone calls from Ric Flair , Harley Race , and his father `` Cowboy '' Bob Orton . On the final SmackDown before Money in the Bank , Mahal with The Singh Brothers came out and berated Orton . As Orton 's music played , The Singh Brothers went to the ramp to stop him , but Orton snuck up from behind Mahal and executed an RKO before retreating into the crowd . On the May 23 episode of SmackDown , Commissioner Shane McMahon introduced AJ Styles , Shinsuke Nakamura , Dolph Ziggler , Sami Zayn , and Baron Corbin as the 2017 participants of the titular Money in the Bank ladder match . United States Champion Kevin Owens argued that he deserved to be in the match since he retained his title against Styles at Backlash . Shane agreed and added Owens to the match . Zayn then defeated Corbin in a rematch from Backlash , while Styles and Nakamura teamed up and defeated Owens and Ziggler . The following week , Owens and Corbin attacked Nakamura , who had been a guest on Owens ' Highlight Reel segment , until Zayn came to the rescue . In the resulting tag team match , Nakamura and Zayn defeated Owens and Corbin . Later in the show , Ziggler defeated Styles , but lost a rematch a week later . On the same show , Corbin first attacked Zayn backstage and later assaulted Nakamura , who had just won a match against Owens . Mojo Rawley also had the opportunity to be added to the ladder match if he could defeat former rival and WWE Champion Jinder Mahal , but failed to do so . On the final SmackDown before Money in the Bank , Styles , Nakamura , and Zayn teamed up and defeated Owens , Ziggler , and Corbin . After the match , a brawl broke out between all six men that ended with Nakamura standing tall atop the ladder with the Money in the Bank briefcase . At Backlash , The Welcoming Committee ( Natalya , Carmella , and Tamina ) defeated the team of Charlotte Flair , Becky Lynch , and SmackDown Women 's Champion Naomi in a six - woman tag team match . On the following episode of SmackDown , Natalya asked Commissioner Shane McMahon for a SmackDown Women 's Championship match , followed by Carmella , Flair , Tamina , and Lynch , who each demanded title opportunities as well . A fatal - five - way elimination match , scheduled for the following week to decide who would face Naomi at Money in the Bank , ended before it could begin when all five attacked each other before the match . Shane then scheduled the first - ever Women 's Money in the Bank ladder match between the five , with the winner receiving a contract for a SmackDown Women 's Championship match . The following week , Lana made her first appearance since moving to the brand during the Superstar Shake - up and demanded to be added to the ladder match . Commissioner Shane McMahon refused her , saying that she would have to earn her opportunity . Lana then turned her attention to the champion and said she could beat her , but Shane again denied her and reiterated what he had previously said . Later that night , Naomi , Lynch , and Flair faced Natalya , Carmella , and Tamina in a rematch from Backlash . Lana interfered in the match , causing Naomi to be pinned by Tamina . After this , Naomi demanded a match against Lana and offered to defend her title , and Shane made the match official for Money in the Bank . The following week , after Naomi defeated Tamina , Lana attacked Naomi and posed with the title belt . At Backlash , The Usos ( Jey and Jimmy Uso ) retained the SmackDown Tag Team Championship against Breezango ( Fandango and Tyler Breeze ) and again in a rematch on the following episode of SmackDown . On the May 30 episode , The Usos declared that no team could defeat them . They were then interrupted by The New Day ( Big E , Kofi Kingston , and Xavier Woods ) , making their first appearance on SmackDown since they were moved to the brand during the Superstar Shake - up . A match was then scheduled between the two teams for the titles at Money in the Bank . The following week , after The New Day defeated The Colóns ( Primo and Epico ) , The Usos came out and taunted them , calling The New Day old news . The New Day and Breezango then teamed up and defeated The Usos and The Colóns on the final SmackDown before Money in the Bank . On the December 13 , 2016 , episode of SmackDown , The Hype Bros ( Mojo Rawley and Zack Ryder ) won a battle royal to become the number one contenders for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship , but a knee injury sustained during the match took Ryder out for an estimated six to nine months . On the June 13 episode of SmackDown , Ryder appeared backstage and was greeted by Rawley where the two declared that The Hype Bros were back . Afterwards on Talking Smack , the two said that they felt that they should still be the number one contenders for the tag titles since they won that spot , but never got to have their championship match . Three days later , the two were scheduled to face The Colóns ( Primo and Epico ) on the Money in the Bank pre-show .

Preliminary matches ( edit ) Due to Carmella controversially winning the first Women 's Money in the Bank ladder match , a rematch was scheduled for the June 27 episode of SmackDown Live with James Ellsworth banned from the arena ; Carmella won the rematch by retrieving the briefcase herself and definitively earned a SmackDown Women 's Championship match contract The actual pay per - view opened with the first - ever Women 's Money in the Bank ladder match . In the climax , as Becky Lynch attempted to retrieve the briefcase , Carmella 's manager James Ellsworth pushed the ladder over . With Carmella down , Ellsworth retrieved the briefcase for Carmella and dropped it to her , thus Carmella won the match . Two of the three referees did not agree with the decision and General Manager Daniel Bryan said that the controversy would be dealt with on the following episode of SmackDown . Next , The Usos defended the SmackDown Tag Team Championship against The New Day 's Big E and Kofi Kingston . In the end , Big E and Kingston performed the Midnight Hour on Jey . Kingston pinned Jey , only for Jimmy to pull Jey out of the ring to void the pinfall and the two were intentionally counted out . Thus , The New Day won , but The Usos retained the titles . After that , Naomi defended the SmackDown Women 's Championship against Lana in her in - ring televised debut . In the climax , Carmella came out and teased cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase . This distracted Lana enough for Naomi to force Lana to submit to the Slay - O - Mission to retain the title . Carmella again teased cashing in her briefcase , but decided not to . Afterwards , Maria Kanellis made her return to WWE , her last appearance being in 2010 , along with her husband Mike Kanellis , who made his debut appearance for WWE . The two cut a promo about the `` power of love '' and shared a kiss before departing backstage . Next , Jinder Mahal defended the WWE Championship against Randy Orton . Orton executed an RKO on Mahal , however , Sunil placed Mahal 's foot on the rope , voiding the pinfall at a two count . The referee then evicted The Singh Brothers from ringside . Before they left , they attempted to attack WWE Hall of Famer and Orton 's father , `` Cowboy '' Bob Orton , however Orton attacked the two , ending the attack with an RKO outside the ring on Sunil and an RKO through the announce table on Samir . After Orton returned to the ring , Mahal executed the Khallas on Orton to retain the title . After that , Breezango ( Fandango and Tyler Breeze ) made their entrance to the ring . Earlier backstage , they received a video of two unidentifiable people who claimed credit for attacking Breeze on SmackDown . They told Breezango to come to the ring to find out who they were , which was revealed to be The Ascension ( Konnor and Viktor ) . Breezango won the impromptu match after Fandango pinned Viktor with a small package . Main event ( edit ) Baron Corbin , the 2017 Money in the Bank ladder match winner , who earned a contract for a WWE Championship match The main event was the Money in the Bank ladder match between Baron Corbin , United States Champion Kevin Owens , Sami Zayn , AJ Styles , Shinsuke Nakamura , and Dolph Ziggler . As Nakamura made his entrance , Corbin attacked him with a ladder , taking Nakamura out for a majority of the match . In the end , after Nakamura returned , he and Styles fought atop the ladder . Corbin pushed the ladder over and retrieved the briefcase to win the match . Aftermath ( edit ) The finish of the first - ever Women 's Money in the Bank ladder match was heavily criticized by fans . On the post-Money in the Bank episode of SmackDown , Carmella and James Ellsworth addressed the controversy surrounding her becoming the first - ever Ms. Money in the Bank . She said that there were no rules in the match and she cited how some previous winners won with outside help . Natalya , Charlotte Flair , Becky Lynch , and Tamina each urged General Manager Daniel Bryan to do strip Carmella of the contract . Later in the show , Bryan addressed the five participants in the ring . He said that Carmella had good points , but no one had ever won the match by having someone else retrieve the briefcase for them . He then forced her to relinquish the briefcase and scheduled a second Women 's Money in the Bank ladder match between the five for the following week , with Ellsworth banned from ringside . Before the rematch , Bryan decided to ban Ellsworth from the arena . Despite this , Ellsworth returned , but was taken out by Becky . Carmella then attacked Becky and retrieved the briefcase to definitively become Ms. Money in the Bank . The following week , Bryan again banned Ellsworth from the arena , fined him $10,000 USD , suspended him for 30 days , and said that if Ellsworth were to break these rules , Carmella would be stripped of the briefcase again . SmackDown Women 's Champion Naomi said it was a disappointment that Ellsworth won the ladder match for Carmella at Money in the Bank , but she said she was ready for any challenge . Lana interrupted and wanted a rematch . Naomi , citing herself as a fighting champion , agreed to the rematch for the following week , where she quickly defeated Lana again . Lana received one more rematch on the July 4 episode , but failed to defeat Naomi . In a sit - down interview , Randy Orton said that he lost focus when he saw that The Singh Brothers were going to attack his father . He said he was no longer concerned about becoming a fourteen - time world champion , he just wanted to hurt Jinder Mahal . Later in the show after Mahal defeated Luke Harper , Orton came out , attacked The Singh Brothers , and then Mahal , but Mahal managed to escape into the crowd . The following week , Commissioner Shane McMahon granted Orton a rematch for the title at Battleground , but allowed Mahal to choose the stipulation , and he chose a Punjabi Prison match . United States Champion Kevin Owens felt that the other five participants of the Money in the Bank ladder match conspired against him , and that was why he did not win . He then issued a U.S. Championship open challenge to any local competitor . AJ Styles came out to accept the challenge , but Owens denied him since Styles was not from Dayton , Ohio . American Alpha 's Chad Gable then answered the challenge , saying that he had moved to Dayton `` ( that ) morning '' , but Owens retained in the ensuing match . Also on the show , Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Dolph Ziggler , Baron Corbin teased cashing in his Money in the Bank contract during WWE Champion Jinder Mahal 's non-title match against Luke Harper , and General Manager Daniel Bryan , who praised Sami Zayn 's efforts in the ladder match , scheduled Zayn to face Corbin the following week , where Corbin won . Corbin cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on the August 15 episode of SmackDown , but as soon as the match started , he attacked John Cena instead , allowing Mahal to roll - up for the victory , making Corbin the third wrestler to fail to win a title upon cash - in . The New Day addressed how The Usos backed out of their championship match . Big E then defeated Jimmy Uso in a singles match . Also in the tag team division , The Hype Bros convinced General Manager Daniel Bryan to give them an opportunity at the SmackDown Tag Team Championship . Bryan said that if they could defeat The Usos in a non-title match the following week , they would become the number one contenders . The Hype Bros failed to defeat The Usos , after which , The New Day challenged The Usos to another title match at Battleground and they accepted . In the weeks following Money in the Bank , Mike and Maria Kanellis began a feud with Sami Zayn , and Mike defeated Zayn in his WWE debut match on the July 18 episode of SmackDown .

"Seven matches were contested at the event, including one on the pre-show, and the main card featured two bouts that were the titular match type. The male ladder match, which was the main event, was won by Baron Corbin, who earned a contract for a WWE Championship match, and Carmella controversially won the first-ever women's ladder match to earn a SmackDown Women's Championship match contract. In another prominent match, Jinder Mahal defeated Randy Orton to retain the WWE Championship. The event was also notable for the televised in-ring debut of Lana, who lost her SmackDown Women's Championship match to Naomi, the return of Maria Kanellis, who had last performed in WWE in 2010, and the WWE debut appearance of her husband Mike Kanellis."

In Congress , it was passed by the Senate on April 8 , 1864 , and by the House on January 31 , 1865 . The amendment was ratified by the required number of states on December 6 , 1865 . On December 18 , 1865 , Secretary of State William H. Seward proclaimed its adoption . It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War . Since the American Revolution , states had divided into states that allowed and states that prohibited slavery . Slavery was implicitly permitted in the original Constitution through provisions such as Article I , Section 2 , Clause 3 , commonly known as the Three - Fifths Compromise , which detailed how each slave state 's enslaved population would be factored into its total population count for the purposes of apportioning seats in the United States House of Representatives and direct taxes among the states . Though many slaves had been declared free by President Abraham Lincoln 's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation , their post-war status was uncertain . On April 8 , 1864 , the Senate passed an amendment to abolish slavery . After one unsuccessful vote and extensive legislative maneuvering by the Lincoln administration , the House followed suit on January 31 , 1865 . The measure was swiftly ratified by nearly all Northern states , along with a sufficient number of border and `` reconstructed '' Southern states , to cause it to be adopted before the end of the year . Though the amendment formally abolished slavery throughout the United States , factors such as Black Codes , white supremacist violence , and selective enforcement of statutes continued to subject some black Americans to involuntary labor , particularly in the South . In contrast to the other Reconstruction Amendments , the Thirteenth Amendment was rarely cited in later case law , but has been used to strike down peonage and some race - based discrimination as `` badges and incidents of slavery '' . The Thirteenth Amendment applies to the actions of private citizens , while the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments apply only to state actors . The amendment also enables Congress to pass laws against sex trafficking and other modern forms of slavery .

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude , except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted , shall exist within the United States , or any place subject to their jurisdiction . Section 2 . Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation . Slavery in the United states Main article : Slavery in the United States Abolitionist imagery focused on atrocities against slaves ( 1863 photo of Gordon ) The institution of slavery existed in all of the original thirteen British North American colonies . Prior to the Thirteenth Amendment , the United States Constitution ( adopted in 1789 ) did not expressly use the words slave or slavery but included several provisions about unfree persons . The Three - Fifths Compromise ( in Article I , Section 2 , Clause 3 ) allocated Congressional representation based `` on the whole Number of free Persons '' and `` three fifths of all other Persons '' . This clause was a compromise between Southerners who wished slaves to be counted as ' persons ' for congressional representation and northerners rejecting these out of concern of too much power for the South , because representation in the new Congress would be based on population in contrast to the one - vote - for - one - state principle in the earlier Continental Congress . Under the Fugitive Slave Clause ( Article IV , Section 2 , Clause 3 ) , `` No person held to Service or Labour in one State '' would be freed by escaping to another . Article I , Section 9 , Clause 1 allowed Congress to pass legislation outlawing the `` Importation of Persons '' , but not until 1808 . However , for purposes of the Fifth Amendment -- which states that , `` No person shall ... be deprived of life , liberty , or property , without due process of law '' -- slaves were understood as property . Although abolitionists used the Fifth Amendment to argue against slavery , it became part of the legal basis in Dred Scott v. Sandford ( 1857 ) for treating slaves as property . Stimulated by the philosophy of the Declaration of Independence between 1777 and 1804 , every Northern state provided for the immediate or gradual abolition of slavery . Most of the slaves involved were household servants . No Southern state did so , and the slave population of the South continued to grow , peaking at almost 4 million people in 1861 . An abolitionist movement headed by such figures as William Lloyd Garrison grew in strength in the North , calling for the end of slavery nationwide and exacerbating tensions between North and South . The American Colonization Society , an alliance between abolitionists who felt the races should be kept separated and slaveholders who feared the presence of freed blacks would encourage slave rebellions , called for the emigration and colonization of both free blacks and slaves to Africa . Its views were endorsed by politicians such as Henry Clay , who feared that the main abolitionist movement would provoke a civil war . Proposals to eliminate slavery by constitutional amendment were introduced by Representative Arthur Livermore in 1818 and by John Quincy Adams in 1839 , but failed to gain significant traction . As the country continued to expand , the issue of slavery in its new territories became the dominant national issue . The Southern position was that slaves were property and therefore could be moved to the territories like all other forms of property . The 1820 Missouri Compromise provided for the admission of Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state , preserving the Senate 's equality between the regions . In 1846 , the Wilmot Proviso was introduced to a war appropriations bill to ban slavery in all territories acquired in the Mexican -- American War ; the Proviso repeatedly passed the House , but not the Senate . The Compromise of 1850 temporarily defused the issue by admitting California as a free state , instituting a stronger Fugitive Slave Act , banning the slave trade in Washington , D.C. , and allowing New Mexico and Utah self - determination on the slavery issue . Despite the compromise , tensions between North and South continued to rise over the subsequent decade , inflamed by , amongst other things , the publication of the 1852 anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom 's Cabin ; fighting between pro-slavery and abolitionist forces in Kansas , beginning in 1854 ; the 1857 Dred Scott decision , which struck down provisions of the Compromise of 1850 ; abolitionist John Brown 's 1859 attempt to start a slave revolt at Harpers Ferry and the 1860 election of slavery critic Abraham Lincoln to the presidency . The Southern states seceded from the Union in the months following Lincoln 's election , forming the Confederate States of America , and beginning the American Civil War . Proposal and ratification Crafting the Amendment Representative James Mitchell Ashley proposed an amendment abolishing slavery in 1863 . Acting under presidential war powers , Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1 , 1863 , which proclaimed the freedom of slaves in the ten states that were still in rebellion . However , it did not affect the status of slaves in the border states that had remained loyal to the Union . That December , Lincoln again used his war powers and issued a `` Proclamation for Amnesty and Reconstruction '' , which offered Southern states a chance to peacefully rejoin the Union if they abolished slavery and collected loyalty oaths from 10 % of their voting population . Southern states did not readily accept the deal , and the status of slavery remained uncertain . In the final years of the Civil War , Union lawmakers debated various proposals for Reconstruction . Some of these called for a constitutional amendment to abolish slavery nationally and permanently . On December 14 , 1863 , a bill proposing such an amendment was introduced by Representative James Mitchell Ashley of Ohio . Representative James F. Wilson of Iowa soon followed with a similar proposal . On January 11 , 1864 , Senator John B. Henderson of Missouri submitted a joint resolution for a constitutional amendment abolishing slavery . The Senate Judiciary Committee , chaired by Lyman Trumbull of Illinois , became involved in merging different proposals for an amendment . Radical Republicans led by Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner and Pennsylvania Representative Thaddeus Stevens sought a more expansive version of the amendment . On February 8 , 1864 , Sumner submitted a constitutional amendment stating : All persons are equal before the law , so that no person can hold another as a slave ; and the Congress shall have power to make all laws necessary and proper to carry this declaration into effect everywhere in the United States . Sumner tried to promote his own more expansive wording by circumventing the Trumbull - controlled Judiciary Committee , but failed . On February 10 , the Senate Judiciary Committee presented the Senate with an amendment proposal based on drafts of Ashley , Wilson and Henderson . The Committee 's version used text from the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 , which stipulates , `` There shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the said territory , otherwise than in the punishment of crimes whereof the party shall have been duly convicted . '' Though using Henderson 's proposed amendment as the basis for its new draft , the Judiciary Committee removed language that would have allowed a constitutional amendment to be adopted with only a majority vote in each House of Congress and ratification by two - thirds of the states ( instead of two - thirds and three - fourths , respectively ) . Passage by Congress Further information : 38th United States Congress The Senate passed the amendment on April 8 , 1864 , by a vote of 38 to 6 ; two Democrats , Reverdy Johnson of Maryland and James Nesmith of Oregon voted `` aye . '' However , just over two months later on June 15 , the House failed to do so , with 93 in favor and 65 against , thirteen votes short of the two - thirds vote needed for passage ; the vote split largely along party lines , with Republicans supporting and Democrats opposing . In the 1864 presidential race , former Free Soil Party candidate John C. Frémont threatened a third - party run opposing Lincoln , this time on a platform endorsing an anti-slavery amendment . The Republican Party platform had , as yet , failed to include a similar plank , though Lincoln endorsed the amendment in a letter accepting his nomination . Fremont withdrew from the race on September 22 , 1864 and endorsed Lincoln . With no Southern states represented , few members of Congress pushed moral and religious arguments in favor of slavery . Democrats who opposed the amendment generally made arguments based on federalism and states ' rights . Some argued that the proposed change so violated the spirit of the Constitution that it would not be a valid `` amendment '' but would instead constitute `` revolution '' . Representative White , among other opponents , warned that the amendment would lead to full citizenship for blacks . Republicans portrayed slavery as uncivilized and argued for abolition as a necessary step in national progress . Amendment supporters also argued that the slave system had negative effects on white people . These included the lower wages resulting from competition with forced labor , as well as repression of abolitionist whites in the South . Advocates said ending slavery would restore the First Amendment and other constitutional rights violated by censorship and intimidation in slave states . White , Northern Republicans and some Democrats became excited about an abolition amendment , holding meetings and issuing resolutions . Many blacks though , particularly in the South , focused more on land ownership and education as the key to liberation . As slavery began to seem politically untenable , an array of Northern Democrats successively announced their support for the amendment , including Representative James Brooks , Senator Reverdy Johnson , and Tammany Hall , a powerful New York political machine . Celebration erupts after the amendment is passed by the House of Representatives . President Lincoln had had concerns that the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 might be reversed or found invalid after the war . He saw constitutional amendment as a more permanent solution . He had remained outwardly neutral on the amendment because he considered it politically too dangerous . Nonetheless , Lincoln 's 1864 party platform resolved to abolish slavery by constitutional amendment . After winning reelection in the election of 1864 , Lincoln made the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment his top legislative priority , beginning with his efforts in Congress during its `` lame duck '' session . Popular support for the amendment mounted and Lincoln urged Congress on in his December 6 , 1864 State of the Union Address : `` there is only a question of time as to when the proposed amendment will go to the States for their action . And as it is to so go , at all events , may we not agree that the sooner the better ? '' Lincoln instructed Secretary of State William H. Seward , Representative John B. Alley and others to procure votes by any means necessary , and they promised government posts and campaign contributions to outgoing Democrats willing to switch sides . Seward had a large fund for direct bribes . Ashley , who reintroduced the measure into the House , also lobbied several Democrats to vote in favor of the measure . Representative Thaddeus Stevens later commented that `` the greatest measure of the nineteenth century was passed by corruption aided and abetted by the purest man in America '' ; however , Lincoln 's precise role in making deals for votes remains unknown . Republicans in Congress claimed a mandate for abolition , having gained in the elections for Senate and House . The 1864 Democratic vice-presidential nominee , Representative George H. Pendleton , led opposition to the measure . Republicans toned down their language of radical equality in order to broaden the amendment 's coalition of supporters . In order to reassure critics worried that the amendment would tear apart the social fabric , some Republicans explicitly promised that the amendment would leave patriarchy intact . In mid-January 1865 , Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax estimated the amendment to be five votes short of passage . Ashley postponed the vote . At this point , Lincoln intensified his push for the amendment , making direct emotional appeals to particular members of Congress . On January 31 , 1865 , the House called another vote on the amendment , with neither side being certain of the outcome . With 183 House members present , 122 would have to vote `` aye '' to secure passage of the resolution ; however eight members abstained , reducing the number to 117 . Every Republican supported the measure , as well as 16 Democrats , almost all of them lame ducks . The amendment finally passed by a vote of 119 to 56 , narrowly reaching the required two - thirds majority . The House exploded into celebration , with some members openly weeping . Black onlookers , who had only been allowed to attend Congressional sessions since the previous year , cheered from the galleries . While under the Constitution , the President plays no formal role in the amendment process , the joint resolution was sent to Lincoln for his signature . Under the usual signatures of the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate , President Lincoln wrote the word `` Approved '' and added his signature to the joint resolution on February 1 , 1865 . On February 7 , Congress passed a resolution affirming that the Presidential signature was unnecessary . The Thirteenth Amendment is the only ratified amendment signed by a President , although James Buchanan had signed the Corwin Amendment that the 36th Congress had adopted and sent to the states in March 1861 . Ratification by the states Ratified amendment , 1865 Ratified amendment post-enactment , 1865 -- 1870 Ratified amendment after first rejecting amendment , 1866 -- 1995 Territories of the United States in 1865 , not yet states When the Thirteenth Amendment was submitted to the states on February 1 , 1865 , it was quickly taken up by several legislatures . By the end of the month it had been ratified by eighteen states . Among them were the ex-Confederate states of Virginia and Louisiana , where ratifications were submitted by Reconstruction governments . These , along with subsequent ratifications from Arkansas and Tennessee raised the issues of how many seceded states had legally valid legislatures ; and if there were fewer legislatures than states , if Article V required ratification by three - fourths of the states or three - fourths of the legally valid state legislatures . President Lincoln in his last speech , on April 11 , 1865 , called the question about whether the Southern states were in or out of the Union a `` pernicious abstraction . '' Obviously , he declared , they were not `` in their proper practical relation with the Union '' ; whence everyone 's object should be to restore that relation . Lincoln was assassinated three days later . With Congress out of session , the new President , Andrew Johnson , began a period known as `` Presidential Reconstruction '' , in which he personally oversaw the creation of new state governments throughout the South . He oversaw the convening of state political conventions populated by delegates whom he deemed to be loyal . Three leading issues came before the conventions : secession itself , the abolition of slavery , and the Confederate war debt . Alabama , Florida , Georgia , Mississippi , North Carolina , and South Carolina held conventions in 1865 , while Texas ' convention did not organize until March 1866 . Johnson hoped to prevent deliberation over whether to re-admit the Southern states by accomplishing full ratification before Congress reconvened in December . He believed he could silence those who wished to deny the Southern states their place in the Union by pointing to how essential their assent had been to the successful ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment .

As the summer wore on , administration officials began including assurances of the measure 's limited scope with their demands for ratification . Johnson himself suggested directly to the governors of Mississippi and North Carolina that they could proactively control the allocation of rights to freedmen . Though Johnson obviously expected the freed people to enjoy at least some civil rights , including , as he specified , the right to testify in court , he wanted state lawmakers to know that the power to confer such rights would remain with the states . When South Carolina provisional governor Benjamin Franklin Perry objected to the scope of the amendment 's enforcement clause , Secretary of State Seward responded by telegraph that in fact the second clause `` is really restraining in its effect , instead of enlarging the powers of Congress '' . White politicians throughout the South were concerned that Congress might cite the amendment 's enforcement powers as a way to authorize black suffrage . When South Carolina ratified the amendment in November 1865 , it issued its own interpretive declaration that `` any attempt by Congress toward legislating upon the political status of former slaves , or their civil relations , would be contrary to the Constitution of the United States '' . Alabama and Louisiana also declared that their ratification did not imply federal power to legislate on the status of former slaves . During the first week of December , North Carolina and Georgia gave the amendment the final votes needed for it to become part of the Constitution . The Thirteenth Amendment became part of the Constitution on December 6 , 1865 , based on the following ratifications : Illinois -- February 1 , 1865 Rhode Island -- February 2 , 1865 Michigan -- February 3 , 1865 Maryland -- February 3 , 1865 New York -- February 3 , 1865 Pennsylvania -- February 3 , 1865 West Virginia -- February 3 , 1865 Missouri -- February 6 , 1865 Maine -- February 7 , 1865 Kansas -- February 7 , 1865 Massachusetts -- February 7 , 1865 Virginia -- February 9 , 1865 Ohio -- February 10 , 1865 Indiana -- February 13 , 1865 Nevada -- February 16 , 1865 Louisiana -- February 17 , 1865 Minnesota -- February 23 , 1865 Wisconsin -- February 24 , 1865 Vermont -- March 9 , 1865 Tennessee -- April 7 , 1865 Arkansas -- April 14 , 1865 Connecticut -- May 4 , 1865 New Hampshire -- July 1 , 1865 South Carolina -- November 13 , 1865 Alabama -- December 2 , 1865 North Carolina -- December 4 , 1865 Georgia -- December 6 , 1865 Having been ratified by the legislatures of three - fourths of the several states ( 27 of the 36 states , including those that had been in rebellion ) , Secretary of State Seward , on December 18 , 1865 , certified that the Thirteenth Amendment had become valid , to all intents and purposes , as a part of the Constitution . Included on the enrolled list of ratifying states were the three ex-Confederate states that had given their assent , but with strings attached . Seward accepted their affirmative votes and brushed aside their interpretive declarations without comment , challenge or acknowledgment . The Thirteenth Amendment was subsequently ratified by : Oregon -- December 8 , 1865 California -- December 19 , 1865 Florida -- December 28 , 1865 ( reaffirmed -- June 9 , 1868 ) Iowa -- January 15 , 1866 New Jersey -- January 23 , 1866 ( after rejection -- March 16 , 1865 ) Texas -- February 18 , 1870 Delaware -- February 12 , 1901 ( after rejection -- February 8 , 1865 ) Kentucky -- March 18 , 1976 ( after rejection -- February 24 , 1865 ) Mississippi -- March 16 , 1995 ; Certified -- February 7 , 2013 ( after rejection -- December 5 , 1865 ) The Thirteenth Amendment became part of the Constitution 61 years after the Twelfth Amendment . This is the longest interval between constitutional amendments . Effects Amendment XIII in the National Archives , bearing the signature of Abraham Lincoln The impact of the abolition of slavery was felt quickly . When the Thirteenth Amendment became operational , the scope of Lincoln 's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation was widened to include the entire nation . Although the majority of Kentucky 's slaves had been emancipated , 65,000 -- 100,000 people remained to be legally freed when the Amendment went into effect on December 18 . In Delaware , where a large number of slaves had escaped during the war , nine hundred people became legally free . In addition to abolishing slavery and prohibiting involuntary servitude , except as a punishment for crime , the Thirteenth Amendment also nullified the Fugitive Slave Clause and the Three - Fifths Compromise . The population of a state originally included ( for congressional apportionment purposes ) all `` free persons '' , three - fifths of `` other persons '' ( i.e. , slaves ) and excluded untaxed Native Americans . The Three - Fifths Compromise was a provision in the Constitution that required three - fifths of the population of slaves be counted for purposes of apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives and taxes among the states . This compromise had the effect of increasing the political power of slave - holding states by increasing their share of seats in the House of Representatives , and consequently their share in the Electoral College ( where a state 's influence over the election of the President is tied to the size of its congressional delegation ) . Even as the Thirteenth Amendment was working its way through the ratification process , Republicans in Congress grew increasingly concerned about the potential for there to be a large increase in the congressional representation of the Democratic - dominated Southern states . Because the full population of freed slaves would be counted rather than three - fifths , the Southern states would dramatically increase their power in the population - based House of Representatives . Republicans hoped to offset this advantage by attracting and protecting votes of the newly enfranchised black population . Political and economic change in the South Southern culture remained deeply racist , and those blacks who remained faced a dangerous situation . J.J. Gries reported to the Joint Committee on Reconstruction : `` There is a kind of innate feeling , a lingering hope among many in the South that slavery will be regalvanized in some shape or other . They tried by their laws to make a worse slavery than there was before , for the freedman has not the protection which the master from interest gave him before . '' W.E.B. Du Bois wrote in 1935 : Slavery was not abolished even after the Thirteenth Amendment . There were four million freedmen and most of them on the same plantation , doing the same work that they did before emancipation , except as their work had been interrupted and changed by the upheaval of war . Moreover , they were getting about the same wages and apparently were going to be subject to slave codes modified only in name . There were among them thousands of fugitives in the camps of the soldiers or on the streets of the cities , homeless , sick , and impoverished . They had been freed practically with no land nor money , and , save in exceptional cases , without legal status , and without protection . Official emancipation did not substantially alter the economic situation of most blacks who remained in the south . As the amendment still permitted labor as punishment for convicted criminals , Southern states responded with what historian Douglas A. Blackmon called `` an array of interlocking laws essentially intended to criminalize black life '' . These laws , passed or updated after emancipation , were known as Black Codes . Mississippi was the first state to pass such codes , with an 1865 law titled `` An Act to confer Civil Rights on Freedmen '' . The Mississippi law required black workers to contract with white farmers by January 1 of each year or face punishment for vagrancy . Blacks could be sentenced to forced labor for crimes including petty theft , using obscene language , or selling cotton after sunset . States passed new , strict vagrancy laws that were selectively enforced against blacks without white protectors . The labor of these convicts was then sold to farms , factories , lumber camps , quarries , and mines . After its ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in November 1865 , the South Carolina legislature immediately began to legislate Black Codes . The Black Codes created a separate set of laws , punishments , and acceptable behaviors for anyone with more than one black great - grandparent . Under these Codes , Blacks could only work as farmers or servants and had few Constitutional rights . Restrictions on black land ownership threatened to make economic subservience permanent . Some states mandated indefinitely long periods of child `` apprenticeship '' . Some laws did not target Blacks specifically , but instead affected farm workers , most of whom were Black . At the same time , many states passed laws to actively prevent Blacks from acquiring property . Congressional and executive enforcement As its first enforcement legislation , Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 , guaranteeing black Americans citizenship and equal protection of the law , though not the right to vote . The amendment was also used as authorizing several Freedmen 's Bureau bills . President Andrew Johnson vetoed these bills , but Congress overrode his vetoes to pass the Civil Rights Act and the Second Freedmen 's Bureau Bill . Proponents of the Act , including Trumbull and Wilson , argued that Section 2 of the Thirteenth Amendment authorized the federal government to legislate civil rights for the States . Others disagreed , maintaining that inequality conditions were distinct from slavery . Seeking more substantial justification , and fearing that future opponents would again seek to overturn the legislation , Congress and the states added additional protections to the Constitution : the Fourteenth Amendment ( 1868 ) defining citizenship and mandating equal protection under the law , and the Fifteenth Amendment ( 1870 ) banning racial voting restrictions . The Freedmen 's Bureau enforced the amendment locally , providing a degree of support for people subject to the Black Codes . Reciprocally , the Thirteenth Amendment established the Bureau 's legal basis to operate in Kentucky . The Civil Rights Act circumvented racism in local jurisdictions by allowing blacks access to the federal courts . The Enforcement Acts of 1870 -- 1871 and the Civil Rights Act of 1875 , in combating the violence and intimidation of white supremacy , were also part of the effort to end slave conditions for Southern blacks . However , the effect of these laws waned as political will diminished and the federal government lost authority in the South , particularly after the Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction in exchange for a Republican presidency . Peonage Law Southern business owners sought to reproduce the profitable arrangement of slavery with a system called peonage , in which disproportionately black workers were entrapped by loans and compelled to work indefinitely because of their debt . Peonage continued well through Reconstruction and ensnared a large proportion of black workers in the South . These workers remained destitute and persecuted , forced to work dangerous jobs and further confined legally by the racist Jim Crow laws that governed the South . Peonage differed from chattel slavery because it was not strictly hereditary and did not allow the sale of people in exactly the same fashion . However , a person 's debt -- and by extension a person -- could still be sold , and the system resembled antebellum slavery in many ways . With the Peonage Act of 1867 , Congress abolished `` the holding of any person to service or labor under the system known as peonage '' , specifically banning `` the voluntary or involuntary service or labor of any persons as peons , in liquidation of any debt or obligation , or otherwise . '' In 1939 , the Department of Justice created the Civil Rights Section , which focused primarily on First Amendment and labor rights . The increasing scrutiny of totalitarianism in the lead - up to World War II brought increased attention to issues of slavery and involuntary servitude , abroad and at home . The U.S. sought to counter foreign propaganda and increase its credibility on the race issue by combatting the Southern peonage system . Under the leadership of Attorney General Francis Biddle , the Civil Rights Section invoked the constitutional amendments and legislation of the Reconstruction Era as the basis for its actions . In 1947 , the DOJ successfully prosecuted Elizabeth Ingalls for keeping domestic servant Dora L. Jones in conditions of slavery . The court found that Jones `` was a person wholly subject to the will of defendant ; that she was one who had no freedom of action and whose person and services were wholly under the control of defendant and who was in a state of enforced compulsory service to the defendant . '' The Thirteenth Amendment enjoyed a swell of attention during this period , but from Brown v. Board of Education ( 1954 ) until Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co. ( 1968 ) it was again eclipsed by the Fourteenth Amendment . Penal labor exemption See also : Penal labor in the United States and Convict lease The Thirteenth Amendment exempts penal labor from its prohibition of forced labor . This allows prisoners who have been convicted of crimes ( not those merely awaiting trial ) to be required to perform labor or else face punishment while in custody . Few records of the committee 's deliberations during the drafting of the Thirteenth Amendment survived , and the debate in both Congress and the state legislatures that followed featured almost no discussion of this provision . It was apparently considered noncontroversial at the time , or at least legislators gave it little thought . There does exist records of the reason for this exemption , albeit more removed in time ; the drafters based the amendment 's phrasing on the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 , which features an identical exception . Thomas Jefferson authored an early version of that ordinance 's anti-slavery clause , including the exception of punishment for a crime , and also sought to prohibit slavery in general after 1800 . Jefferson was an admirer of the works of Italian criminologist Cesare Beccaria . Beccaria 's On Crimes and Punishments suggested that the death penalty should be abolished and replaced with a lifetime of enslavement for the worst criminals ; Jefferson likely included the clause due to his agreement with Beccaria . Beccaria , while attempting to reduce `` legal barbarism '' of the 1700s , considered forced labor one of the few harsh punishments acceptable ; for example , he advocated slave labor as a just punishment for robbery , so that the thief 's labor could be used to pay recompense to their victims and to society . Penal `` hard labor '' has ancient origins , and was adopted early in American history ( as in Europe ) often as a substitute for capital or corporal punishment . Since ratification , various commentators have accused states of abusing this provision to re-establish systems similar to slavery , or of otherwise exploiting such labor in a manner unfair to local labor . The Black Codes in the South criminalized `` vagrancy '' , which was largely enforced against freed slaves . Later , convict lease programs in the South allowed local plantations to rent inexpensive prisoner labor . While many of these programs have been phased out ( leasing of convicts was forbidden by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1941 ) , prison labor continues in America under a variety of justifications . Prison labor programs vary widely ; some are uncompensated prison maintenance tasks , some are for local government maintenance tasks , some are for local businesses , and others are closer to internships . Modern rationales for prison labor programs often include reduction of recidivism and re-acclimation to society ; the idea is that such labor programs will make it easier for the prisoner upon release to find gainful employment rather than relapse to criminality . However , this topic is not well - studied , and much of the work offered is so menial as to be unlikely to improve employment prospects . As of 2017 , most prison labor programs do compensate prisoners , but generally with very low wages . What wages they do earn are often heavily garnished , with as much as 80 % of a prisoner 's paycheck withheld in the harshest cases . Judicial interpretation In contrast to the other `` Reconstruction Amendments '' , the Thirteenth Amendment was rarely cited in later case law . As historian Amy Dru Stanley summarizes , `` beyond a handful of landmark rulings striking down debt peonage , flagrant involuntary servitude , and some instances of race - based violence and discrimination , the Thirteenth Amendment has never been a potent source of rights claims '' . Black slaves and their descendants U.S. v. Rhodes ( 1866 ) , one of the first Thirteenth Amendment cases , tested the Constitutionality of provisions in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 that granted blacks redress in the federal courts . Kentucky law prohibited blacks from testifying against whites -- an arrangement which compromised the ability of Nancy Talbot ( `` a citizen of the United States of the African race '' ) to reach justice against a white person accused of robbing her . After Talbot attempted to try the case in federal court , the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled this federal option unconstitutional . Noah Swayne ( a Supreme Court justice sitting on the Kentucky Circuit Court ) overturned the Kentucky decision , holding that without the material enforcement provided by the Civil Rights Act , slavery would not truly be abolished . With In Re Turner ( 1867 ) , Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase ordered freedom for Elizabeth Turner , a former slave in Maryland who became indentured to her former master . In Blyew v. U.S. , ( 1872 ) the Supreme Court heard another Civil Rights Act case relating to federal courts in Kentucky . John Blyew and George Kennard were white men visiting the cabin of a black family , the Fosters . Blyew apparently became angry with sixteen - year - old Richard Foster and hit him twice in the head with an ax . Blyew and Kennard killed Richard 's parents , Sallie and Jack Foster , and his blind grandmother , Lucy Armstrong . They severely wounded the Fosters ' two young daughters . Kentucky courts would not allow the Foster children to testify against Blyew and Kennard . But federal courts , authorized by the Civil Rights Act , found Blyew and Kennard guilty of murder . When the Supreme Court took the case , they ruled ( 5 -- 2 ) that the Foster children did not have standing in federal courts because only living people could take advantage of the Act . In doing so , the Courts effectively ruled that Thirteenth Amendment did not permit a federal remedy in murder cases . Swayne and Joseph P. Bradley dissented , maintaining that in order to have meaningful effects , the Thirteenth Amendment would have to address systemic racial oppression . Though based on a technicality , the Blyew case set a precedent in state and federal courts that led to the erosion of Congress 's Thirteenth Amendment powers . The Supreme Court continued along this path in the Slaughter - House Cases ( 1873 ) , which upheld a state - sanctioned monopoly of white butchers . In United States v. Cruikshank ( 1876 ) , the Court ignored Thirteenth Amendment dicta from a circuit court decision to exonerate perpetrators of the Colfax massacre and invalidate the Enforcement Act of 1870 . John Marshall Harlan became known as `` The Great Dissenter '' for his minority opinions favoring powerful Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments . The Thirteenth Amendment was not solely a ban on chattel slavery , but also covers a much broader array of labor arrangements and social deprivations . As the U.S. Supreme Court explicated in the Slaughter - House Cases ( 1873 ) with respect to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment and the Thirteenth Amendment in special : Undoubtedly while negro slavery alone was in the mind of the Congress which proposed the thirteenth article , it forbids any other kind of slavery , now or hereafter . If Mexican peonage or the Chinese coolie labor system shall develop slavery of the Mexican or Chinese race within our territory , this amendment may safely be trusted to make it void . And so if other rights are assailed by the States which properly and necessarily fall within the protection of these articles , that protection will apply , though the party interested may not be of African descent . But what we do say , and what we wish to be understood is , that in any fair and just construction of any section or phrase of these amendments , it is necessary to look to the purpose which we have said was the pervading spirit of them all , the evil which they were designed to remedy , and the process of continued addition to the Constitution , until that purpose was supposed to be accomplished , as far as constitutional law can accomplish it . In the Civil Rights Cases ( 1883 ) , the Supreme Court reviewed five consolidated cases dealing with the Civil Rights Act of 1875 , which outlawed racial discrimination at `` inns , public conveyances on land or water , theaters , and other places of public amusement '' . The Court ruled that the Thirteenth Amendment did not ban most forms of racial discrimination by non-government actors . In the majority decision , Bradley wrote ( again in non-binding dicta ) that the Thirteenth Amendment empowered Congress to attack `` badges and incidents of slavery '' . However , he distinguished between `` fundamental rights '' of citizenship , protected by the Thirteenth Amendment , and the `` social rights of men and races in the community '' . The majority opinion held that `` it would be running the slavery argument into the ground to make it apply to every act of discrimination which a person may see fit to make as to guests he will entertain , or as to the people he will take into his coach or cab or car ; or admit to his concert or theatre , or deal with in other matters of intercourse or business . '' In his solitary dissent , John Marshall Harlan ( a Kentucky lawyer who changed his mind about civil rights law after witnessing organized racist violence ) argued that `` such discrimination practiced by corporations and individuals in the exercise of their public or quasi-public functions is a badge of servitude , the imposition of which congress may prevent under its power . '' The Court in the Civil Rights Cases also held that appropriate legislation under the amendment could go beyond nullifying state laws establishing or upholding slavery , because the amendment `` has a reflex character also , establishing and decreeing universal civil and political freedom throughout the United States '' and thus Congress was empowered `` to pass all laws necessary and proper for abolishing all badges and incidents of slavery in the United States . '' The Court stated about the scope the amendment : This amendment , as well as the Fourteenth , is undoubtedly self - executing , without any ancillary legislation , so far as its terms are applicable to any existing state of circumstances . By its own unaided force and effect , it abolished slavery and established universal freedom . Still , legislation may be necessary and proper to meet all the various cases and circumstances to be affected by it , and to prescribe proper modes of redress for its violation in letter or spirit . And such legislation may be primary and direct in its character , for the amendment is not a mere prohibition of State laws establishing or upholding slavery , but an absolute declaration that slavery or involuntary servitude shall not exist in any part of the United States . Attorneys in Plessy v. Ferguson ( 1896 ) argued that racial segregation involved `` observances of a servile character coincident with the incidents of slavery '' , in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment . In their brief to the Supreme Court , Plessy 's lawyers wrote that `` distinction of race and caste '' was inherently unconstitutional . The Supreme Court rejected this reasoning and upheld state laws enforcing segregation under the `` separate but equal '' doctrine . In the ( 7 -- 1 ) majority decision , the Court found that `` a statute which implies merely a legal distinction between the white and colored races -- a distinction which is founded on the color of the two races and which must always exist so long as white men are distinguished from the other race by color -- has no tendency to destroy the legal equality of the two races , or reestablish a state of involuntary servitude . '' Harlan dissented , writing : `` The thin disguise of ' equal ' accommodations for passengers in railroad coaches will not mislead any one , nor , atone for the wrong this day done . '' In Hodges v. United States ( 1906 ) , the Court struck down a federal statute providing for the punishment of two or more people who `` conspire to injure , oppress , threaten or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States '' . A group of white men in Arkansas conspired to violently prevent eight black workers from performing their jobs at a lumber mill ; the group was convicted by a federal grand jury . The Supreme Court ruled that the federal statute , which outlawed conspiracies to deprive citizens of their liberty , was not authorized by the Thirteenth Amendment . It held that `` no mere personal assault or trespass or appropriation operates to reduce the individual to a condition of slavery '' . Harlan dissented , maintaining his opinion that the Thirteenth Amendment should protect freedom beyond `` physical restraint '' . Corrigan v. Buckley ( 1922 ) reaffirmed the interpretation from Hodges , finding that the amendment does not apply to restrictive covenants . Enforcement of federal civil rights law in the South created numerous peonage cases , which slowly traveled up through the judiciary . The Supreme Court ruled in Clyatt v. United States ( 1905 ) that peonage was involuntary servitude . It held that although employers sometimes described their workers ' entry into contract as voluntary , the servitude of peonage was always ( by definition ) involuntary . In Bailey v. Alabama the U.S. Supreme Court again reaffirmed its holding that Thirteenth Amendment was not solely a ban on chattel slavery , but also covers a much broader array of labor arrangements and social deprivations In addition to the aforesaid the Court also ruled on Congress enforcement power under the Thirteenth Amendment . The Court said : The plain intention ( of the amendment ) was to abolish slavery of whatever name and form and all its badges and incidents ; to render impossible any state of bondage ; to make labor free , by prohibiting that control by which the personal service of one man is disposed of or coerced for another 's benefit , which is the essence of involuntary servitude . While the Amendment was self - executing , so far as its terms were applicable to any existing condition , Congress was authorized to secure its complete enforcement by appropriate legislation . Jones and beyond Legal histories cite Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co. ( 1968 ) as a turning point of Thirteen Amendment jurisprudence . The Supreme Court confirmed in Jones that Congress may act `` rationally '' to prevent private actors from imposing `` badges and incidents of servitude '' . The Joneses were a black couple in St. Louis County , Missouri who sued a real estate company for refusing to sell them a house . The Court held : Congress has the power under the Thirteenth Amendment rationally to determine what are the badges and the incidents of slavery , and the authority to translate that determination into effective legislation ... this Court recognized long ago that , whatever else they may have encompassed , the badges and incidents of slavery -- its `` burdens and disabilities '' -- included restraints upon `` those fundamental rights which are the essence of civil freedom , namely , the same right ... to inherit , purchase , lease , sell and convey property , as is enjoyed by white citizens . '' Civil Rights Cases , 109 U.S. 3 , 109 U.S. 22 . Just as the Black Codes , enacted after the Civil War to restrict the free exercise of those rights , were substitutes for the slave system , so the exclusion of Negroes from white communities became a substitute for the Black Codes . And when racial discrimination herds men into ghettos and makes their ability to buy property turn on the color of their skin , then it too is a relic of slavery . Negro citizens , North and South , who saw in the Thirteenth Amendment a promise of freedom -- freedom to `` go and come at pleasure '' and to `` buy and sell when they please '' -- would be left with `` a mere paper guarantee '' if Congress were powerless to assure that a dollar in the hands of a Negro will purchase the same thing as a dollar in the hands of a white man . At the very least , the freedom that Congress is empowered to secure under the Thirteenth Amendment includes the freedom to buy whatever a white man can buy , the right to live wherever a white man can live . If Congress can not say that being a free man means at least this much , then the Thirteenth Amendment made a promise the Nation can not keep . The Court in Jones reopened the issue of linking racism in contemporary society to the history of slavery in the United States . The Jones precedent has been used to justify Congressional action to protect migrant workers and target sex trafficking . The direct enforcement power found in the Thirteenth Amendment contrasts with that of the Fourteenth , which allows only responses to institutional discrimination of state actors . Other cases of involuntary servitude The Supreme Court has taken an especially narrow view of involuntary servitude claims made by people not descended from black ( African ) slaves . In Robertson v. Baldwin ( 1897 ) , a group of merchant seamen challenged federal statutes which criminalized a seaman 's failure to complete their contractual term of service . The Court ruled that seamen 's contracts had been considered unique from time immemorial , and that `` the amendment was not intended to introduce any novel doctrine with respect to certain descriptions of service which have always been treated as exceptional '' . In this case , as in numerous `` badges and incidents '' cases , Justice Harlan authored a dissent favoring broader Thirteenth Amendment protections . In Selective Draft Law Cases , the Supreme Court ruled that the military draft was not `` involuntary servitude '' . In United States v. Kozminski , the Supreme Court ruled that the Thirteenth Amendment did not prohibit compulsion of servitude through psychological coercion . Kozminski defined involuntary servitude for purposes of criminal prosecution as `` a condition of servitude in which the victim is forced to work for the defendant by the use or threat of physical restraint or physical injury or by the use or threat of coercion through law or the legal process . This definition encompasses cases in which the defendant holds the victim in servitude by placing him or her in fear of such physical restraint or injury or legal coercion . '' The U.S. Courts of Appeals , in Immediato v. Rye Neck School District , Herndon v. Chapel Hill , and Steirer v. Bethlehem School District , have ruled that the use of community service as a high school graduation requirement did not violate the Thirteenth Amendment . Prior proposed Thirteenth Amendments During the six decades following the 1804 ratification of the Twelfth Amendment two proposals to amend the Constitution were adopted by Congress and sent to the states for ratification . Neither has been ratified by the number of states necessary to become part of the Constitution . Commonly known as the Titles of Nobility Amendment and the Corwin Amendment , both are referred to as Article Thirteen , as was the successful Thirteenth Amendment , in the joint resolution passed by Congress . The Titles of Nobility Amendment ( pending before the states since May 1 , 1810 ) would , if ratified , strip citizenship from any United States citizen who accepts a title of nobility or honor from a foreign country without the consent of Congress . The Corwin Amendment ( pending before the states since March 2 , 1861 ) would , if ratified , shield `` domestic institutions '' of the states ( in 1861 this was a common euphemism for slavery ) from the constitutional amendment process and from abolition or interference by Congress .

'' Footnote 78 : `` ( W ) e note that the entire Court ( in the Civil Rights Cases ; content added ) agreed upon at least one proposition : the Thirteenth Amendment authorizes Congress not only to outlaw all forms of slavery and involuntary servitude , but also to eradicate the last vestiges and incidents of a society half slave and half free by securing to all citizens , of every race and color , the same right to make and enforce contracts , to sue , be parties , give evidence , and to inherit , purchase , lease , sell and convey property , as is enjoyed by white citizens ... The conclusion of the majority in Hodges rested upon a concept of congressional power under the Thirteenth Amendment irreconcilable with the position taken by every member of this Court in the Civil Rights Cases and incompatible with the history and purpose of the Amendment itself .

The report marked a pivotal moment in the controversy that has come to be known as the Stolen Generations . The inquiry was established by the federal Attorney - General , Michael Lavarch , on 11 May 1995 , in response to efforts made by key Indigenous agencies and communities concerned that the general public 's ignorance of the history of forcible removal was hindering the recognition of the needs of its victims and their families and the provision of services . The 680 - page report was tabled in Federal Parliament on 26 May 1997 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Commissioners 3 Hearings and submissions 4 Report summary 5 Recommendations 6 Government apologies 6.1 Federal 6.2 Western Australia 6.3 South Australia 6.4 Australian Capital Territory 6.5 New South Wales 6.6 Tasmania 6.7 Victoria 6.8 Queensland 6.9 Northern Territory 7 Criticisms 8 References 9 External links Background ( edit ) Aboriginal organisations pushed for a national inquiry as early as 1990 . The Secretariat of the National Aboriginal and Islander Child Care ( SNAICC ) resolved at its national conference in 1992 to demand a national inquiry . Other state Aboriginal organisations were also active during this period . In 1994 , the Aboriginal Legal Service of Western Australia ( ALSWA ) began soliciting statements from Aboriginal people who had been removed from their families as children or who were parents of removed children . The service interviewed over 600 people during this time and produced a report titled Telling our Story . Commissioners ( edit ) The inquiry was primarily conducted by Sir Ronald Wilson , President of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission , and Mick Dodson , the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner . Indigenous women , appointed as co-commissioners , provided support to the people who gave evidence in each region the inquiry visited . The co-commissioners were : Annette Peardon , Marjorie Thorpe , Dr Maryanne Bin Salik , Sadie Canning , Olive Knight , Kathy Mills , Anne Louis , Laurel Williams , Jackie Huggins , Josephine Ptero - David and Professor Marcia Langton . The co-commissioners also assisted in the development of the report and its recommendations . The inquiry also appointed an Indigenous Advisory Council made up of members from all the major regions of Australia . Members of the Council were : Annette Peardon , Brian Butler , Yami Lester , Irene Stainton , Floyd Chermside , Barbara Cummings , Grant Dradge , Carol Kendall , Lola McNaughton , Isabel Coe , Peter Rotimah , Nigel D'Souza , Maureen Abbott , Margaret Ah Kee , Bill Lowah , Matilda House and Jim Wright . Hearings and submissions ( edit ) The inquiry undertook an extensive programme of hearings in every capital city and in many regional and smaller centres . New South Wales Redfern , Campbelltown , Nowra , Sydney , Grafton , Dubbo , Broken Hill and Wilcannia . Australian Capital Territory Canberra . Victoria Melbourne , Lake Tyers , Bairnsdale , Morwell , Ballarat , Geelong , Framlingham , Portland , Mildura , Swan Hill and Echuca . Queensland Brisbane , Rockhampton , Palm Island , Townsville , Cairns and Thursday Island . South Australia Mount Gambier , Port Augusta and Berri . Western Australia Perth , Halls Creek , Broome , Bunbury , and Katanning . Northern Territory Darwin and Alice Springs . Tasmania Hobart , Flinders Island , Cape Barren Island , Wybalenna , Launceston and Burnie . The first hearings took place on 4 December 1995 on Flinders Island with the last round of hearings ending on 3 October 1996 in Sydney . During the course of the inquiry 777 submissions were received , which included 535 Indigenous individual and group submissions , 49 church submissions and 7 government submissions . 500 of the submissions were made confidentially . Report summary ( edit ) Main article : Stolen Generation Two reports were produced : Formal , 700 - page report Bringing them Home and subtitled Report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families Less formal and shorter community guide called Bringing them Home -- Community Guide and subtitled `` A guide to the findings and recommendations of the National Inquiry into the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families '' . The Community Guide summarised the report 's conclusions that `` indigenous families and communities have endured gross violations of their human rights . These violations continue to affect indigenous people 's daily lives . They were an act of genocide , aimed at wiping out indigenous families , communities , and cultures , vital to the precious and inalienable heritage of Australia '' . Recommendations ( edit ) The report made many recommendations , including that : Funding be made available to Indigenous agencies to allow Indigenous people affected by the forcible removal policies to record their history Reparations be made to people forcibly removed from their families , and that the van Boven principles guide reparation measures Australian Parliaments offer official apologies and acknowledge the responsibility of their predecessors for the laws , policies , and practices of forcible removal Government apologies ( edit ) Formal apologies have been tabled and passed by the Commonwealth Government , as well as the state parliaments of Victoria , South Australia , New South Wales , and Tasmania and the territory parliament of the Northern Territory . It may be that all states have done this because Senator Aden Ridgeway was quoted in 1999 as saying that `` every State Parliament has passed an apology '' . Former Prime Minister John Howard issued a statement of regret but resolutely refused to issue a formal apology . He has been quoted many times as refusing to take a black armband view of history . Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd , who succeeded Mr. Howard , tabled a formal apology on 13 February 2008 , which was passed unanimously . Federal ( edit ) On Thursday 26 August 1999 , the Australian Prime Minister , John Howard , moved a Motion of Reconciliation , which included an expression of `` deep and sincere regret that indigenous Australians suffered injustices under the practices of past generations , and for the hurt and trauma that many indigenous people continue to feel as a consequence of those practices '' . The opposition leader Kim Beazley moved to replace Howard 's motion of regret with an unreserved apology , but was unsuccessful . On 11 December 2007 , the newly elected government of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced that an official apology would be made to Indigenous Australians . The wording of the apology would be decided in consultation with Indigenous leaders . On 13 February 2008 , at 9 : 00am ( AEDT ) , Rudd tabled the following apology as the first order of business at the opening of Australia 's Parliament in 2008 ; it was passed unanimously by the members of the lower house at 9 : 57 a.m. : I move that : Today we honour the Indigenous peoples of this land , the oldest continuing cultures in human history . We reflect on their past mistreatment . We reflect in particular on the mistreatment of those who were Stolen Generations -- this blemished chapter in our national history . The time has now come for the nation to turn a new page ; a new page in Australia 's history by righting the wrongs of the past and so moving forward with confidence to the future . We apologise for the laws and policies of successive Parliaments and governments , that have inflicted profound grief , suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians . We apologise especially for the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families , their communities and their country . For the pain , suffering , and hurt of these Stolen Generations , their descendants and for their families left behind , we say sorry . To the mothers and the fathers , the brothers and the sisters , for the breaking up of families and communities , we say sorry . And for the indignity and degradation thus inflicted on a proud people and a proud culture , we say sorry . We the Parliament of Australia respectfully request that this apology be received in the spirit in which it is offered as part of the healing of the nation . For the future we take heart ; resolving that this new page in the history of our great continent can now be written . We today take this first step by acknowledging the past and laying claim to a future that embraces all Australians . A future where this Parliament resolves that the injustices of the past must never , never happen again . A future where we harness the determination of all Australians , Indigenous and non-Indigenous , to close the gap that lies between us in life expectancy , educational achievement , and economic opportunity . A future where we embrace the possibility of new solutions to enduring problems where old approaches have failed . A future based on mutual respect , mutual resolve and mutual responsibility . A future where all Australians , whatever their origins , are truly equal partners , with equal opportunities and with an equal stake in shaping the next chapter in the history of this great country , Australia . -- Kevin Rudd , Prime Minister of Australia , 13 February 2008 , at a sitting of the Parliament of Australia . Western Australia ( edit ) On 27 May 1997 , the Western Australian Premier , Richard Court , issued a parliamentary statement using the words : `` It is appropriate that this House show respect for Aboriginal families that have been forcibly separated as a consequence of government policy in the past , by observing a period of silence '' . Members stood for one minute silence . The next day the leader of the Western Australian opposition moved : `` that this House apologises to the Aboriginal people on behalf of all Western Australians for the past policies under which Aboriginal children were removed from their families and expresses deep regret at the hurt and distress that this caused '' . South Australia ( edit ) On 28 May 1997 , the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs , Dean Brown , issued a parliamentary apology on behalf of the people of South Australia , saying that the `` South Australian Parliament expresses its deep and sincere regret at the forced separation of some Aboriginal children from their families and homes which occurred prior to 1964 , apologises to these Aboriginal people for these past actions and reaffirms its support for reconciliation between all Australians '' . Australian capital Territory ( edit ) On 17 June 1997 , the Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory , Kate Carnell , moved a motion in the Territory Assembly that included the words : `` that this Assembly apologises to the Ngunnawal people and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the ACT for the hurt and distress inflicted upon any people as a result of the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families '' . New South Wales ( edit ) On 18 June 1997 , Bob Carr , Premier of New South Wales , issued an apology on behalf of the people of NSW that included the words : `` apologises unreservedly to the Aboriginal people of Australia for the systematic separation of generations of Aboriginal children from their parents , families , and communities '' . Tasmania ( edit ) On 13 August 1997 , the Tasmanian Premier , Tony Rundle , moved a parliamentary motion that included the words : `` That this Parliament , on behalf of all Tasmanians , expresses its deep and sincere regrets at the hurt and distress caused by past policies under which Aboriginal children were removed from their families and homes , apologises to the Aboriginal people for those past actions and reaffirms its support for reconciliation between all Australians '' . Victoria ( edit ) On 17 September 1997 , the Premier of Victoria , Jeff Kennett , moved a parliamentary motion that included the words : `` That this House apologises to the Aboriginal people on behalf of all Victorians for the past policies under which Aboriginal children were removed from their families and expresses deep regret at the hurt and distress this has caused and reaffirms its support for reconciliation between all Australians '' . Queensland ( edit ) On 26 May 1999 , the Queensland Premier , Peter Beattie , issued a parliamentary statement that included the following words : `` This house recognises the critical importance to Indigenous Australians and the wider community of a continuing reconciliation process , based on an understanding of , and frank apologies for , what has gone wrong in the past and total commitment to equal respect in the future . '' Northern Territory ( edit ) On 24 October 2001 , the Northern Territory Chief Minister , Clare Martin , moved that the Northern Territory legislative assembly `` apologises to Territorians who were removed from their families under the authority of the Commonwealth Aboriginals Ordinance and placed in institutional or foster care '' and `` calls upon the Commonwealth government to make a formal and specific apology to all those persons removed pursuant to the Aboriginals Ordinance , acknowledging that the Commonwealth failed in discharging its moral obligations towards them '' . Criticisms ( edit ) The National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families sought to provide an opportunity to discover the experiences of people removed from their families . It was anticipated that given the trauma witnesses had experienced that they would be at risk of further trauma if they were to be cross examined on their testimony and their evidence challenged . Acting on this judgment the Report , Bringing them Home was written on the evidence presented . Among a number of criticisms of the report , also reflected in the arguments of those arguing the impact of the events described were exaggerated or minimising or denying their occurrence this `` failure '' to `` prove the evidence '' was considered critical , a number of other criticisms were made , chief among the critics were John Herron and Ron Brunton . A number of responses , some critical , responded to the points raised Herron and Brunton . Many of these arguments continue into the present around the formal apology to the Stolen Generations of 13 February 2008 .

According to supply - side economics , consumers will then benefit from a greater supply of goods and services at lower prices and employment will increase . It was started by economist Robert Mundell during the Ronald Reagan administration . The Laffer curve is one of the main theoretical constructs of supply - side economics , the idea that lower tax rates when tax level is too high will actually boost government revenue because of higher economic growth . The term `` supply - side economics '' was thought for some time to have been coined by journalist Jude Wanniski in 1975 , but according to Robert D. Atkinson the term `` supply side '' was first used in 1976 by Herbert Stein ( a former economic adviser to President Richard Nixon ) and only later that year was this term repeated by Jude Wanniski . Its use connotes the ideas of economists Robert Mundell and Arthur Laffer . Critics prefer the term `` trickle - down economics '' .

It drew on a range of non-Keynesian economic thought , including the Chicago School and New Classical School . Bruce Bartlett , an advocate of supply - side economics , traced the school of thought 's intellectual descent from the philosophers Ibn Khaldun and David Hume , satirist Jonathan Swift , political economist Adam Smith and even United States ' Founding Father ' Alexander Hamilton . However , what most separates supply - side economics as a modern phenomenon is its argument in favor of low tax rates primarily for collective and notably working - class reasons , rather than traditional ideological ones . Classical liberals opposed taxes because they opposed government , taxation being the latter 's most obvious form . Their claim was that each man had a right to himself and his property and therefore taxation was immoral and of questionable legal grounding . On the other hand , supply - side economists argued that the alleged collective benefit ( i.e. increased economic output and efficiency ) provided the main impetus for tax cuts . As in classical economics , supply - side economics proposed that production or supply is the key to economic prosperity and that consumption or demand is merely a secondary consequence . Early on , this idea had been summarized in Say 's Law of economics , which states : `` A product is no sooner created , than it , from that instant , affords a market for other products to the full extent of its own value '' . John Maynard Keynes , the founder of Keynesianism , summarized Say 's law as `` supply creates its own demand '' . He turned Say 's law on its head in the 1930s by declaring that demand creates its own supply . In 1978 , Jude Wanniski published The Way the World Works , in which he laid out the central thesis of supply - side economics and detailed the failure of high tax rate progressive income tax systems and U.S. monetary policy under Nixon and Carter in the 1970s . Wanniski advocated lower tax rates and a return to some kind of gold standard , similar to the 1944 -- 1971 Bretton Woods System that Nixon abandoned . Laffer curve ( edit ) Three different Laffer curves : t * represents the rate of taxation at which maximal revenue is generated and the curve need not be single - peaked nor symmetrical The Laffer curve embodies a postulate of supply - side economics : that tax rates and tax revenues are distinct , with government tax revenues the same at a 100 % tax rate as they are at a 0 % tax rate and maximum revenue somewhere in between these two values . Supply - siders argued that in a high tax rate environment , lowering tax rates would result in either increased revenues or smaller revenue losses than one would expect relying on only static estimates of the previous tax base . This led supply - siders to advocate large reductions in marginal income and capital gains tax rates to encourage greater investment , which would produce more supply . Jude Wanniski and many others advocate a zero capital gains rate . The increased aggregate supply would result in increased aggregate demand , hence the term `` supply - side economics '' . Fiscal policy theory ( edit ) Historical data from 1930 to 2015 shows a slight positive correlation between higher top marginal tax rates and GDP growth rate ( red line ) Supply - side economics holds that increased taxation steadily reduces economic activity within a nation and discourages investment . Taxes act as a type of trade barrier or tariff that causes economic participants to revert to less efficient means of satisfying their needs . As such , higher taxation leads to lower levels of specialization and lower economic efficiency . The idea is said to be illustrated by the Laffer curve . Supply - side economists have less to say on the effects of deficits and sometimes cite Robert Barro 's work that states that rational economic actors will buy bonds in sufficient quantities to reduce long - term interest rates . Effect on tax revenues ( edit ) Many early proponents argued that the size of the economic growth would be significant enough that the increased government revenue from a faster - growing economy would be sufficient to compensate completely for the short - term costs of a tax cut and that tax cuts could in fact cause overall revenue to increase . Some hold this was borne out during the 1980s when advocates of supply - side economics claim tax cuts ultimately led to an overall increase in government revenue due to stronger economic growth . However , some economists dispute this assertion pointing to the fact that revenue as a percentage of GDP declined during Reagan 's term in office . The fact that tax receipts as a percentage of GDP fell following the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 shows a decrease in tax burden as share of GDP and a corresponding increase in the deficit because spending did not fall relative to GDP . Total tax revenue from income tax receipts increased during Reagan 's two terms , with the exception of 1982 -- 1983 . The Treasury Department also studied the Reagan tax cuts and concluded they significantly reduced tax revenues relative to a baseline without them . Some contemporary economists do not consider supply - side economics a tenable economic theory , with Alan Blinder calling it an `` ill - fated '' and perhaps `` silly '' school on the pages of a 2006 textbook . Greg Mankiw , former chairman of President George W. Bush 's Council of Economic Advisors , offered similarly sharp criticism of the school in the early editions of his introductory economics textbook . Mankiw wrote in June 2017 : Tax cuts rarely pay for themselves . My reading of the academic literature leads me to believe that about one - third of the cost of a typical tax cut is recouped with faster economic growth . In a 1992 article for the Harvard International Review , James Tobin wrote : ( The ) idea that tax cuts would actually increase revenues turned out to deserve the ridicule ... The extreme promises of supply - side economics did not materialize . President Reagan argued that because of the effect depicted in the Laffer curve , the government could maintain expenditures , cut tax rates , and balance the budget . This was not the case . Government revenues fell sharply from levels that would have been realized without the tax cuts . -- Karl Case and Ray Fair , Principles of Economics ( 2007 ) , p. 695 Supply side proponents Trabandt and Uhlig argue that `` static scoring overestimates the revenue loss for labor and capital tax cuts '' and that `` dynamic scoring '' is a better predictor for the effects of tax cuts . To address these criticisms , in 2003 the Congressional Budget Office conducted a dynamic scoring analysis of tax cuts advocated by supply advocates . Two of the nine models used in the study predicted a large improvement in the deficit over the next ten years resulting from tax cuts and the other seven models did not . Effect on income inequality ( edit ) Main article : Income inequality in the United States Income inequality can be measured both pre - and after - tax . There is no consensus on the effects of income tax cuts on pre-tax income inequality , although one 2013 study indicated a strong correlation between how much top marginal tax rates were cut and greater pre-tax inequality across many countries . However , an important side effect of income tax cuts in the U.S. is an increase in after - tax income inequality ( other things equal ) , meaning the top earners receive a greater share of the after - tax income . This is due to several tax policy factors : Federal income taxes are progressive , meaning that higher income tax rates are levied on higher levels of income . For example , in 2017 married couples filing jointly pay a 25 % tax rate on their income between $75,900 and $153,100 , but 39.6 % for income above $470,700 . This progressive policy meant the top 1 % of income earners paid roughly 45 % of the income taxes despite earning 17 % of the pre-tax income in 2014 . So cutting income tax rates means relatively less is paid by higher - income households , leaving them with a greater share of the after - tax income . Approximately 40 - 50 % of U.S. households do not pay federal income taxes , either because they do not earn sufficient income to pay federal income taxes or qualify for exclusions ( e.g. many elderly households do not pay income taxes on their Social Security benefits ) . The percent of households paying income taxes by age tends to rise into the prime working years ( peaking at about 80 % around age 50 ) and falls upon retirement . Income taxes are distinct from payroll taxes , which all workers pay . In other words , a paycheck will have withdrawal amounts for payroll taxes ( e.g. Social Security and Medicare ) along with withdrawals for federal income taxes ; some of the latter may be refunded when the annual tax return is filed . Payroll taxes are flat taxes ( the same rate is levied ) for salary and wage income up to a specific threshold ( $127,400 in 2017 ) . For example , the Tax Policy Center evaluated a detailed supply - side tax cut proposal from presidential candidate Jeb Bush in 2015 . Their conclusion was that the proposal would both increase deficits dramatically and worsen after - tax income inequality . The combination of market forces driving pre-tax inequality combined with a reduction in marginal tax rates after 1979 resulted in the share of after - tax income received by the top 1 % increasing from 7.4 % to a peak of 16.7 % in 2007 before falling to 12.4 % in 2013 . The tax increases effective in 2013 due to the expiration of the Bush tax cuts for income over $400,000 ( $450,000 for couples filing jointly ) along with other tax increases on high incomes related to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ( Obamacare ) contributed to the decline in after - tax inequality , although they were not sufficient to offset the rise in inequality since 1979 . U.S. monetary and fiscal experience ( edit ) Supply - side economists seek a cause and effect relationship between lowering marginal tax rates and economic expansion . The supply - side history of economics since the early 1900s hinges on the following key turning points : The 1920s ( edit ) After World War I , the highest tax bracket , which was for those earning over $100,000 a year ( worth at least $1 million a year now ) , was over 70 percent . The revenue acts of 1921 , 1924 and 1926 reduced this tax rate to less than 25 percent , yet tax revenues actually went up significantly . Gene Smiley at the Foundation for Economic Education explains : `` The share of income taxes paid by the higher net income tax classes fell as tax rates were raised . With the reduction in rates in the twenties , higher - income taxpayers reduced their sheltering of income and the number of returns and share of income taxes paid by higher - income taxpayers rose '' . The 1960s ( edit ) Democratic President John F. Kennedy advocated a drastic tax - rate cut in 1963 when the top income tax rate was 91 % , arguing that `` ( t ) ax rates are too high today and tax revenues too low , and the soundest way to raise revenues in the long run is to cut rates now '' . The Revenue Act of 1964 emerged from Congress and was signed by Kennedy 's successor Lyndon Johnson on February 26 , 1964 . The stated goals of the tax cuts were to raise personal incomes , increase consumption and increase capital investment . Reaganomics ( edit ) Main article : Reaganomics Ronald Reagan gives a televised address from the Oval Office , outlining his plan for tax reductions in July 1981 In the United States , commentators frequently equate supply - side economics with Reaganomics . The fiscal policies of Ronald Reagan were largely based on supply - side economics . Reagan made supply - side economics a household phrase and promised an across - the - board reduction in income tax rates and an even larger reduction in capital gains tax rates . During Reagan 's 1980 presidential campaign , the key economic concern was double digit inflation , which Reagan described as `` ( t ) oo many dollars chasing too few goods '' , but rather than the usual dose of tight money , recession and layoffs , with their consequent loss of production and wealth , he promised a gradual and painless way to fight inflation by `` producing our way out of it '' . Switching from an earlier monetarist policy , Federal Reserve chair Paul Volcker began a policy of tighter monetary policies such as lower money supply growth to break the inflationary psychology and squeeze inflationary expectations out of the economic system . Therefore , supply - side supporters argue , `` Reaganomics '' was only partially based on supply - side economics . However , the Congress under Reagan passed a plan that would slash taxes by $749 billion over five years . Critics claim that the tax cuts increased budget deficits while Reagan supporters credit them with helping the 1980s economic expansion that eventually lowered the deficits and argued that the budget deficit would have decreased if not for massive increases in military spending . As a result , Jason Hymowitz cited Reagan -- along with Jack Kemp -- as a great advocate for supply - side economics in politics and repeatedly praised his leadership . Critics of `` Reaganomics '' claim it failed to produce much of the exaggerated gains some supply - siders had promised . Paul Krugman later summarized the situation : When Ronald Reagan was elected , the supply - siders got a chance to try out their ideas . Unfortunately , they failed . Although he credited supply - side economics for being more successful than monetarism which he claimed `` left the economy in ruins '' , he stated that supply - side economics produced results which fell `` so far short of what it promised '' , describing the supply - side theory as `` free lunches '' . Income tax revenues in constant dollars decreased by $2.77 billion in that year . FICA tax revenue increased because in 1983 FICA tax rates were increased from 6.7 % to 7 % and the ceiling was raised by $2,100 . For the self - employed , the FICA tax rate went from 9.35 % to 14 % . The FICA tax rate increased throughout Reagan 's term and rose to 7.51 % in 1988 and the ceiling was raised by 61 % through Reagan 's two terms . Those tax hikes on wage earners , along with inflation , were the source of revenue gains in the early 1980s . It has been contended by some supply - side critics that the argument to lower taxes to increase revenues was a smokescreen for `` starving '' the government of revenues in the hope that the tax cuts would lead to a corresponding drop in government spending , but this did not turn out to be the case . Paul Samuelson called this notion `` the tape worm theory -- the idea that the way to get rid of a tape worm is ( to ) stab your patient in the stomach '' . There is frequent confusion on the meaning of the term `` supply - side economics '' between the related ideas of the existence of the Laffer Curve and the belief that decreasing tax rates can increase tax revenues . Many supply - side economists doubt the latter claim while still supporting the general policy of tax cuts . Economist Gregory Mankiw used the term `` fad economics '' to describe the notion of tax rate cuts increasing revenue in the third edition of his Principles of Macroeconomics textbook in a section entitled `` Charlatans and Cranks '' : An example of fad economics occurred in 1980 , when a small group of economists advised Presidential candidate , Ronald Reagan , that an across - the - board cut in income tax rates would raise tax revenue . They argued that if people could keep a higher fraction of their income , people would work harder to earn more income . Even though tax rates would be lower , income would rise by so much , they claimed , that tax revenues would rise . Almost all professional economists , including most of those who supported Reagan 's proposal to cut taxes , viewed this outcome as far too optimistic . Lower tax rates might encourage people to work harder and this extra effort would offset the direct effects of lower tax rates to some extent , but there was no credible evidence that work effort would rise by enough to cause tax revenues to rise in the face of lower tax rates. ... People on fad diets put their health at risk but rarely achieve the permanent weight loss they desire . Similarly , when politicians rely on the advice of charlatans and cranks , they rarely get the desirable results they anticipate . After Reagan 's election , Congress passed the cut in tax rates that Reagan advocated , but the tax cut did not cause tax revenues to rise . When vying for the Republican Party presidential nomination for the 1980 election , George H.W. Bush derided Reagan 's supply - side policies as `` voodoo economics '' . However , to secure the Republican nomination in 1988 he later seemed to give lip service to these policies and is speculated by some to have lost his re-election bid in 1992 by allowing tax increases . Clinton years ( edit ) Waterfall chart shows cause of change from deficit in 1994 to surplus in 2001 , measured as a % GDP . Income tax revenues rose as a % GDP following higher taxes for high income earners , while defense spending and interest fell relative to GDP Main article : Economic policy of the Bill Clinton administration The Bill Clinton years represent a counter-example to supply side economics as tax increases coincided with record job creation . President Clinton presided over the budgets for fiscal years 1994 - 2001 . From 1998 to 2001 , the budget was in a surplus for the first time since 1969 . Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 into law , which raised income taxes rates on incomes above $115,000 , created additional higher tax brackets for corporate income over $335,000 , removed the cap on Medicare taxes , raised fuel taxes and increased the portion of Social Security income subject to tax , among other tax increases . Income tax revenues nearly doubled in dollar terms , from $510 B in 1993 ( 7.5 % GDP ) to $994 B in 2001 ( 9.4 % GDP ) . More jobs were created during the Clinton era than the Reagan era in both relative and absolute terms and the rate of GDP growth was higher . Defense spending was held roughly flat in dollar terms at $282 B in 1994 ( 3.9 % GDP ) and ending at $306 B in 2001 ( 2.9 % GDP ) . Likewise , non-defense discretionary spending fell from 3.6 % of GDP in 1994 to 3.2 % of GDP in 2001 . The combination of increasing tax revenues and falling spending relative to GDP moved the budget from a 2.8 % GDP deficit in 1994 to a 1.2 % GDP surplus in 2001 . Research since 2000 ( edit ) Supply - side economics proposes that lower taxes lead to employment growth , but historical state data from the United States shows a heterogeneous result In 2003 , Alan Murray , who at the time was Washington bureau chief for CNBC and a co-host of the television program Capital Report , declared the debate over supply - side economics to have ended `` with a whimper '' after extensive modeling performed by the Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) predicted that the revenue generating effects of the specific tax cuts examined would be , in his words , `` relatively small '' . Murray also suggested that Dan Crippen may have lost his chance at reappointment as head of the CBO over the dynamic scoring issue . Tax decreases on high income earners ( top 10 % ) are not correlated with employment growth , but tax decreases on lower income earners ( bottom 90 % ) are correlated with employment growth Before President George W. Bush signed the 2003 tax cuts , the Economic Policy Institute ( EPI ) released a statement signed by ten Nobel prize laureates entitled `` Economists ' statement opposing the Bush tax cuts '' , which states : Passing these tax cuts will worsen the long - term budget outlook , adding to the nation 's projected chronic deficits . This fiscal deterioration will reduce the capacity of the government to finance Social Security and Medicare benefits as well as investments in schools , health , infrastructure , and basic research . Moreover , the proposed tax cuts will generate further inequalities in after - tax income . Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman agreed the tax cuts would reduce tax revenues and result in intolerable deficits , though he supported them as a means to restrain federal spending . Friedman characterized the reduced government tax revenue as `` cutting their allowance '' . Bush tax cuts ( edit ) Main article : Bush tax cuts U.S. Federal budget deficit as % GDP assuming continuation of certain policies 2011 -- 2021 : CBO projected that extending the Bush tax cuts beyond their scheduled expiration in 2010 would significantly increase budget deficits thereafter CBO data -- Federal individual income tax revenue trends from 2000 - 2009 ( dollars and % GDP ) In 2001 , President Bush signed the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 . Rather than wait for the start of the new fiscal year , income tax rate reductions started on July 1 , 2001 . In addition , rebate checks were sent to everyone who filed a 2000 income tax return before October 1 , the start of the new federal fiscal year . Federal revenues in FY2001 were $1.946 trillion , $79 billion lower than in FY2000 . More of the 2001 tax cut took effect at the start of FY2002 , including cuts in the estate tax , retirement and educational savings . Federal revenues in FY2002 were $1.777 trillion , $247 billion lower than in FY2000 . In 2003 , President Bush signed the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 . Income tax rates were immediately reduced and rebate checks issued ( without waiting for the new fiscal year ) . Federal revenues in FY2003 were $1.665 trillion , $360 billion lower than in FY2000 . Federal revenues in FY2004 were $1.707 trillion , $318 billion lower than in FY2000 . Federal revenues in FY2005 were $1.888 trillion , $137 billion lower than in FY2000 , but by 2006 revenue had completely recovered in inflation adjusted dollars with receipts at $2.037 trillion , $12 billion higher than 2000 . The cumulative total of federal revenues less than in FY2000 for the fiscal years 2001 -- 2005 was $1.142 trillion , with that amount expected to be recovered by 2011 , with 2012 expected to produce an additional $400 billion in excess revenue over 2000 . Later analysis of the Bush tax cuts by the EPI claims that the Bush tax cuts have failed to promote growth since all macroeconomic growth indicators were well below average for the 2001 -- 2005 business cycle . These critics argue the Bush tax cuts have done little more than deprive the government of revenue necessary keep a balanced budget . In 2007 , the Bush administration pointed to the long period of sustained growth , both in GDP and in overall job numbers as well as increases in personal income and decreases in the government deficit . However , the claims by the Bush administration were made prior to the onset of the 2008 financial crisis . In terms of deficit impact , the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) has consistently reported that the Bush tax cuts did not pay for themselves and represented a sizable decline in revenue for the Treasury relative to baselines without the cuts : The CBO estimated in June 2012 that the Bush tax cuts of 2001 ( EGTRRA ) and 2003 ( JGTRRA ) added approximately $1.5 trillion total to the debt over the 2002 -- 2011 decade , excluding interest . The CBO estimated in January 2009 that the Bush tax cuts would add approximately $3.0 trillion to the debt over the 2010 -- 2019 decade if fully extended at all income levels , including interest . The CBO estimated in January 2009 that extending the Bush tax cuts at all income levels over the 2011 -- 2019 period would increase the annual deficit by an average of 1.7 % GDP , reaching 2.0 % GDP in 2018 and 2019 . Prior to the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 ( ATRA ) , CBO estimated that allowing the expiration of just the upper - income portion of the Bush tax cuts would raise $823 billion in revenue over the next 10 years relative to current policy , saving $950 billion ( 0.5 percent of GDP ) when accounting for debt service . ATRA permanently extended the Bush tax cuts for households earning less than $400,000 . In 2006 , the CBO released a study titled `` A Dynamic Analysis of Permanent Extension of the President 's Tax Relief '' . This study found that under the best possible scenario making tax cuts permanent would increase the economy `` over the long run '' by 0.7 % . Since the `` long run '' is not defined , some commentators have suggested that 20 years should be used , making the annual best case GDP growth equal to 0.04 % . When compared with the cost of the tax cuts , the best case growth scenario is still not sufficient to pay for the tax cuts . Previous official CBO estimates had identified the tax cuts as costing an amount equal to 1.4 % of GDP . According to the study , if the best case growth scenario is applied , the tax cuts would still cost an amount equal to 1.27 % of GDP . This study was criticized by many economists , including Harvard Economics Professor Greg Mankiw , who pointed out that the CBO used a very low value for the earnings - weighted compensated labor supply elasticity of 0.14 . In a paper published in the Journal of Public Economics , Mankiw and Matthew Weinzierl noted that the current economics research would place an appropriate value for labor supply elasticity at around 0.5 . A 2008 working paper sponsored by the International Monetary Fund showed `` that the Laffer curve can arise even with very small changes in labor supply effects '' , but that `` labor supply changes do not cause the Laffer effect '' . This is contrary to the supply - side explanation of the Laffer curve , in which the increases in tax revenue are held to be the result of an increase in labor supply . Instead their proposed mechanism for the Laffer effect was that `` tax rate cuts can increase revenues by improving tax compliance '' . The study examined in particular the case of Russia which has comparatively high rates of tax evasion . In that case , their tax compliance model did yield significant revenue increases : To illustrate the potential effects of tax rate cuts on tax revenues consider the example of Russia . Russia introduced a flat 13 percent personal income tax rate , replacing the three tiered , 12 , 20 and 30 percent previous rates ( as detailed in Ivanova , Keen and Klemm , 2005 ) . The tax exempt income was also increased , further decreasing the tax burden . Considering social tax reforms enacted at the same time , tax rates were cut substantially for most taxpayers . However , personal income tax ( PIT ) revenues have increased significantly : 46 percent in nominal and 26 percent real terms during the next year . Even more interesting PIT revenues have increased from 2.4 percent to 2.9 percent of GDP -- a more than 20 percent increase relative to GDP . PIT revenues continued to increase to 3.3 percent during the next year , representing a further 14 percent gain relative to GDP . In 2003 , a Congressional Budget Office study was conducted to forecast whether currently proposed tax cuts would increase revenues . The study used dynamic scoring models as supply side advocates had wanted and was conducted by a supply side advocate . The majority of the models applied predicted that the proposed tax cuts would not increase revenues . Criticism ( edit ) Supply side economics has been criticised for benefiting high income earners , as graph shows the change in top 1 % income share against the change in top income tax rate from 1975 -- 1979 to 2004 -- 2008 for 18 OECD countries : the correlation between increasing income inequality and decreasing top tax rates is very strong Critics of supply - side policies emphasize the growing federal deficits , increased income inequality and lack of growth . They argue that the Laffer curve only measures the rate of taxation , not tax incidence , which may be a stronger predictor of whether a tax code change is stimulative or dampening . In addition , some studies have shown that in the past several decades , tax cuts in the U.S. seldom recoup revenue losses and have minimal impact on GDP growth . David Harper claims that some economists dismiss the theory as offering `` nothing particularly new or controversial as an updated view of classical economics '' . In a 2012 survey , when asked whether a `` cut in federal income tax rates in the US right now would raise taxable income enough so that the annual total tax revenue would be higher within five years than without the tax cut '' , none of the economists surveyed by the University of Chicago agreed . 35 % agreed with the statement `` a cut in federal income tax rates in the US right now would lead to higher GDP within five years than without the tax cut '' . The Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) has estimated that extending the Bush tax cuts beyond their 2010 expiration would increase the deficit by $1.8 trillion over 10 years . The CBO also completed a study in 2005 analyzing a hypothetical 10 % income tax cut and concluded that under various scenarios there would be minimal offsets to the loss of revenue . In other words , deficits would increase by nearly the same amount as the tax cut in the first five years with limited feedback revenue thereafter . Cutting marginal tax rates can also be perceived as primarily beneficial to the wealthy , which some see as politically rather than economically motivated . The specific set of foolish ideas that has laid claim to the name `` supply side economics '' is a crank doctrine that would have had little influence if it did not appeal to the prejudices of editors and wealthy men . -- Paul Krugman Mr. David Stockman has said that supply - side economics was merely a cover for the trickle - down approach to economic policy -- what an older and less elegant generation called the horse - and - sparrow theory : If you feed the horse enough oats , some will pass through to the road for the sparrows . -- John Kenneth Galbraith See also ( edit ) Demand - side economics Fiscal conservatism Gold standard Mellonomics Monetarism Thatcherism Trickle - down economics Reaganomics Notes and references ( edit ) Jump up ^ Neva Goodwin ; Jonathan M.

"Supply-side economics is a macroeconomic theory arguing that economic growth can be most effectively created by lowering taxes and decreasing regulation.[1][2] According to supply-side economics, consumers will then benefit from a greater supply of goods and services at lower prices and employment will increase.[3] It was started by economist Robert Mundell during the Ronald Reagan administration."

A declaration of war is a formal act by which one nation goes to war against another . The declaration is usually an act of delivering a performative speech ( not to be confused with a mere speech ) or the presentation of a signed document by an authorized party of a national government in order to create a state of war between two or more sovereign states . The official international protocol for declaring war was defined in The Hague Peace Conference of 1907 ( or Hague II ) . For the diplomatic maneuvering behind these events , which led to hostilities between nations during World War II , see the article entitled Diplomatic history of World War II . List of war declarations ( edit ) Below is a table showing the Outbreaks of Wars between Nations which occurred during World War II . Indicated are the dates ( during the immediate build - up to , or during the course of , World War II ) , from which a de facto state of war existed between nations . The table shows both the `` Initiator Nation ( s ) '' and the nation at which the aggression was aimed , or `` Targeted Nation ( s ) '' . Events listed include those in which there were simple diplomatic breaking of relations that did not involve any physical attack , as well as those involving overt declarations or acts of aggression .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( November 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The first Rugby World Cup was held in 1987 , hosted by Australia and New Zealand who pushed for the tournament to be approved . Since the first tournament , 7 others have been held at four - year intervals . The 2015 tournament was won by New Zealand , the cup was held from 19 September 2015 till 31 October 2015 . It was held in England and Wales . Contents 1 International competition prior to the World Cup 2 Early attempts 3 Early 1980s 4 The first tournament 5 1990s 6 2000 -- present 7 Overview 8 Overall team performance records 8.1 Defending champions 8.2 Knockout statistics 9 See also 10 References 11 External links International competition prior to the World Cup ( edit ) Apart from regular test matches and touring sides , tournaments that resembled a world cup format -- albeit not of its scale , but in terms of international nations competing , are competitions such as the Summer Olympics and the Home Nations Championship / Five Nations Championship . Rugby union was played at the Summer Olympics on four occasions , 1900 , 1908 , 1920 and 1924 Although these competitions did not involve full national sides , and usually only had three or four participating nations at any individual event . The International Championship / Five Nations has been played since 1883 . It is one of the oldest international rugby tournaments , involving only European nations . Early attempts ( edit ) There are several stories that depict suggestions of staging a rugby union world cup before the 1980s . One of the earliest known pioneers was Harold Tolhurst , an Australian player who would later become a referee . It has been said that Tolhurst brought up the idea of such a tournament as early as the late 1950s . It has been said that in 1968 , the International Rugby Board made it known that it did not want its unions to be a part of such a competition that resembled a world cup . Similar ideas arose during the last years of the pre-WC era . Bill McLaughlin , who was the president of the Australian Rugby Union in 1979 , suggested the idea of staging a World Cup in 1988 , as the event would coincide with Australia 's bicentenary celebrations . Early 1980s ( edit ) In 1982 , Neil Durden - Smith suggested that the world cup should be held in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s . The IRB discussed the proposal in March 1983 , but the concept did not go ahead . Another meeting was held in June 1983 , where Australia put forth a proposal that would see them host the first event -- if it should happen . New Zealand joined the campaign , putting forth their own proposal in March of the next year . The IRB went on to conduct a feasibility study -- Australia and New Zealand joined forces to bid for the hosting of an inaugural World Cup . The match day programme / poster for the 1987 final between France and the All Blacks . A subsequent IRFB meeting was held in Paris in March 1985 . It is known that originally , all four home nations were opposed to the idea , and the most vocal supporters were Australia , New Zealand and France . It is believed that South Africa 's decision to vote in favour of the event was the turning point in the voting . South Africa voted in favour of the tournament going ahead , though they knew they would not be competing due to the sports boycott at the time . South Africa 's vote saw England , followed by Wales , change to be in favour as well . The first tournament ( edit ) The 1987 Rugby World Cup was hosted by both Australia and New Zealand . 32 matches were played from over a period of 22 May to 20 June . The tournament featured one African nation , three American nations , one Asian nation , seven European nations and four Oceanic nations . One notable omission was the Springboks who were not competing due to the international sports boycott . Seven places were automatically filled by the IRFB members , with invitations being sent out to fill remaining places . In total there were 16 nations in the competition . France played Australia in one of the semi-finals with New Zealand playing Wales in the other . New Zealand became the first ever Rugby World Cup Champions , defeating France 29 points to 9 at Eden Park in Auckland . 1990s ( edit ) Millennium Stadium The 1991 Rugby World Cup was hosted by Great Britain , Ireland and France , with the tournament final to be played at the home of English rugby , Twickenham . For the first time , a qualifying tournament replaced the previously used invitation format . The qualifying tournament involved 32 teams . England qualified for the final by defeating Scotland at Murrayfield , with Australia joining them by defeating New Zealand the day after . Australia won the final , defeating England 12 -- 6 , and became the first nation to win the cup away from home . The 1995 Rugby World Cup was hosted by South Africa , and was the first time that all matches would be played in just a single country . It was the first time that South Africa participated in the tournament following the end of their international sports boycott due to the apartheid regime . South Africa won the tournament , defeating New Zealand 15 -- 12 in the final . Joel Stransky kicked a drop - goal in extra time to grab the victory for South Africa . The All Blacks were mysteriously struck down with food poisoning just days before the final with many All Blacks still affected on the day of the final . Nelson Mandela , wearing a Springbok jersey and matching cap , famously presented the Webb Ellis Cup to South African captain Francois Pienaar . The tournament also saw the emergence of rugby 's first global superstar , All Blacks winger Jonah Lomu . He and Marc Ellis finished the tournament as the top try scorers . The 1999 Rugby World Cup was hosted by Wales with matches played in England , France , Scotland and Ireland . There were further changes to the rules of automatic qualification for this tournament , where only the top three places from 1995 , along with the host nation , automatically qualified . Sixty - five rugby nations participated in qualifying competitions for the 1999 tournament , and the participating nations increased from 16 to 20 . France 's shock 43 -- 31 semifinal win over the All Blacks is regarded as one of the biggest upsets and also one of the best games in the history of the World Cup . Australia defeated France in the final 35 -- 12 . They therefore became the first nation to win the World Cup twice . 2000 -- present ( edit ) England celebrates in London . The 2003 World Cup was hosted by Australia . It was originally to be co-hosted with New Zealand , but disagreements over scheduling and signage at venues led to Australia going it alone . England won the tournament , defeating Australia in the final 20 points to 17 . With 21 seconds left before sudden death England 's Jonny Wilkinson landed a drop goal to win the match . England became the first northern hemisphere nation to win a Rugby World Cup . Upon returning home , the English side was greeted by an estimated 750,000 people at a street parade celebrating their victory . The 2007 World Cup was held in France , with matches also played in Wales and Scotland . The tournament was won by South Africa , who defeated England 15 -- 6 in the final to become World Champions for the second time . Blowouts in scores in pool matches against minnow nations changed into a finals series dominated by defence . This tournament was notable for Argentina becoming the first team from outside the Six Nations and Tri-Nations to reach the semifinals . They ended up coming third in the tournament , which was the first time the top 3 slots were n't dominated by either New Zealand , Australia , England , South Africa , France or Wales . This tournament was the first time that both Australia and New Zealand did not progress past the Quarter Finals . The 2011 tournament was hosted by New Zealand : it saw a repeat of the 1987 World Cup finale standings , as Australia took on Wales in the Bronze final and won 21 - 18 , while New Zealand , by defeating France 8 - 7 in the final , became the first nation to win on home soil twice . This tournament was notable for the fact that France lost twice in the pool stages , to NZ and Tonga , and yet somehow managed to progress all the way to the Final to face off with NZ one more time . This represented the first time any team had played each other twice in a world cup and was also the first time the winner and runner - up of the same pool progressed through to the Finals . The 2015 tournament was hosted by England . The tournament was won by New Zealand , who defeated Australia 34 - 17 to become the first nation to successfully defend their World Champion title and the first nation to win the tournament three times . This was the first time New Zealand had successfully won the cup away from home . This tournament is notable for the Pool of Death that occurred which saw Australia , England and Wales fight to get a place in the Quarter Finals . England became the first Host nation , and top tier rugby nation , to not make it out of the Pools . This also became the first Rugby World Cup to have all Northern Hemisphere competition knocked out in the Quarter Finals , with Argentina , South Africa , Australia and New Zealand progressing through to the Semi-Finals . This world cup will also be remembered for the biggest upset ever when Japan beat South Africa 34 - 23 in the pool stages and came very close to making their first Quarter Finals . The 2019 tournament will be hosted in Japan , with the Yokohoma Stadium holding the final . On November 15 , 2017 France was announced as host of the 2023 Rugby World Cup .

For example , the Chicago White Stockings won the National League 's first pennant in 1876 with a 52 -- 14 record (. 788 ) , and won the 1880 NL pennant with a 67 -- 17 record (. 798 ) , which stands as the overall percentage record between the National or the American League . The White Stockings ' 1880 record would project to a record of 129 -- 33 under the modern schedule of 162 games , while Pythagorean expectation based on the White Stockings ' results ( 538 runs scored , 317 runs allowed ) and a 162 - game schedule would translate to a record of 120 -- 42 . The all - time best single season record belongs to the Cincinnati Red Stockings , who posted baseball 's only perfect record at 67 -- 0 ( 57 -- 0 against National Association of Base Ball Players clubs ) in 1869 . Their record would stretch to 81 -- 0 across the 1870 season before losing 8 -- 7 in eleven innings to the Brooklyn Atlantics in Brooklyn on June 14 . The second - best record belongs to the 1875 Boston Red Stockings of the National Association , who finished with a record of 71 -- 8 (. 899 ) , but the status of the National Association as a major league has long been disputed . The Red Stockings record would project to 146 -- 16 under the modern schedule of 162 games , while Pythagorean expectation based on the Red Stockings results ( 831 runs scored , 343 runs allowed ) and the modern 162 - game schedule would translate to a record of 138 -- 24 . The National Association folded at the end of 1875 , and the Red Stockings , who had won the last four pennants , joined the National League for 1876 , being renamed the Red Caps . The team went 39 -- 31 for a fourth - place finish in 1876 before winning the 1877 and 1878 pennants with records of 42 -- 18 and 41 -- 19 . The third - best record belongs to the St. Louis Maroons of the 1884 Union Association , who finished with a record of 94 -- 19 (. 832 ) , but the Union Association was quite lopsided in talent distribution ( team owner Henry Lucas was also league president , an obvious conflict - of - interest situation which is now banned , and bought all the best available players for his franchise ) , generally disorganized ( six teams played close to full schedules , another four teams folded and one relocated during the course of the season ) , and poorly scheduled . The Maroons ' record would project to 135 -- 27 under the modern schedule of 162 games , while Pythagorean expectation based on the Maroons ' results ( 887 runs scored , 429 runs allowed ) and a 162 - game schedule would translate to a record of 131 -- 31 , but these results are of questionable merit . The Union Association folded at the end of 1884 , and the Maroons joined the National League for 1885 . Playing against stiffer competition , they went 36 -- 72 in 1885 , and 43 -- 79 in 1886 , finishing in last and sixth in both seasons . In 1887 , the Maroons relocated to Indianapolis and became the Indianapolis Hoosiers , playing three more seasons below . 500 before folding .

Its name is of Siouan derivation from the language of the Osage denoting their related kin , the Quapaw Indians . The state 's diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozark and the Ouachita Mountains , which make up the U.S. Interior Highlands , to the densely forested land in the south known as the Arkansas Timberlands , to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River and the Arkansas Delta . Arkansas is the 29th largest by area and the 33rd most populous of the 50 United States . The capital and most populous city is Little Rock , located in the central portion of the state , a hub for transportation , business , culture , and government . The northwestern corner of the state , such as the Fayetteville -- Springdale -- Rogers Metropolitan Area and Fort Smith metropolitan area , is a population , education , and economic center . The largest city in the state 's eastern part is Jonesboro . The largest city in the state 's southeastern part is Pine Bluff . The Territory of Arkansas was admitted to the Union as the 25th state on June 15 , 1836 . In 1861 Arkansas withdrew from the United States and joined the Confederate States of America during the Civil War . On returning to the Union in 1868 , the state continued to suffer due to its earlier reliance on slavery and the plantation economy , causing the state to fall behind economically and socially . White rural interests continued to dominate the state 's politics until the Civil Rights Movement . Arkansas began to diversify its economy following World War II and relies on its service industry , aircraft , poultry , steel , tourism , cotton , and rice . The culture of Arkansas is observable in museums , theaters , novels , television shows , restaurants , and athletic venues across the state . Arkansas 's enduring image has earned the state `` a special place in the American consciousness '' . People such as politician and educational advocate William Fulbright ; former President Bill Clinton who served as the 40th and 42nd Governor of Arkansas ; his wife , former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton ; former NATO Supreme Allied Commander General Wesley Clark , Walmart magnate Sam Walton ; singer - songwriters Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell ; the poet C.D. Wright ; and physicist William L. McMillan , who was a pioneer in superconductor research ; have all lived in Arkansas .

The Kansa tribe of Native Americans are closely associated with the Sioux tribes of the Great Plains . The word `` Arkansas '' itself is a French pronunciation ( `` Arcansas '' ) of a Quapaw ( a related `` Kaw '' tribe ) word , akakaze , meaning `` land of downriver people '' or the Sioux word akakaze meaning `` people of the south wind '' . In 1881 , the pronunciation of Arkansas with the final `` s '' being silent was made official by an act of the state legislature after a dispute arose between Arkansas 's two U.S. senators as one favored the pronunciation as / ˈɑːrkənsɔː / AR - kən - saw while the other favored / ɑːr ˈkænzəs / ar - KAN - zəs . In 2007 , the state legislature passed a non-binding resolution declaring that the possessive form of the state 's name is Arkansas 's , which has been followed increasingly by the state government . Geography Main article : Geography of Arkansas View from the Ozark Highlands Scenic Byway in Boxley Valley The Ozarks : bend in the Buffalo River from an overlook on the Buffalo River Trail near Steel Creek The flat terrain and rich soils of the Arkansas Delta near Arkansas City are in stark contrast to the northwestern part of the state . Cedar Falls in Petit Jean State Park Boundaries Arkansas borders Louisiana to the south , Texas to the southwest , Oklahoma to the west , Missouri to the north , as well as Tennessee and Mississippi on the east . The United States Census Bureau classifies Arkansas as a southern state , sub-categorized among the West South Central States . The Mississippi River forms most of Arkansas 's eastern border , except in Clay and Greene , counties where the St. Francis River forms the western boundary of the Missouri Bootheel , and in many places where the channel of the Mississippi has meandered ( or been straightened by man ) from its original 1836 course . Terrain Arkansas can generally be split into two halves , the highlands in the northwest half and the lowlands of the southeastern half . The highlands are part of the Southern Interior Highlands , including The Ozarks and the Ouachita Mountains . The southern lowlands include the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Arkansas Delta . This dual split can yield to general regions named northwest , southwest , northeast , southeast , or central Arkansas . These directionally named regions are broad and not defined along county lines . Arkansas has seven distinct natural regions : the Ozark Mountains , Ouachita Mountains , Arkansas River Valley , Gulf Coastal Plain , Crowley 's Ridge , and the Arkansas Delta , with Central Arkansas sometimes included as a blend of multiple regions . The southeastern part of Arkansas along the Mississippi Alluvial Plain is sometimes called the Arkansas Delta . This region is a flat landscape of rich alluvial soils formed by repeated flooding of the adjacent Mississippi . Farther away from the river , in the southeast portion of the state , the Grand Prairie consists of a more undulating landscape . Both are fertile agricultural areas . The Delta region is bisected by a geological formation known as Crowley 's Ridge . A narrow band of rolling hills , Crowley 's Ridge rises from 250 to 500 feet ( 76 to 152 m ) above the surrounding alluvial plain and underlies many of the major towns of eastern Arkansas . Northwest Arkansas is part of the Ozark Plateau including the Ozark Mountains , to the south are the Ouachita Mountains , and these regions are divided by the Arkansas River ; the southern and eastern parts of Arkansas are called the Lowlands . These mountain ranges are part of the U.S. Interior Highlands region , the only major mountainous region between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains . The highest point in the state is Mount Magazine in the Ouachita Mountains , which rises to 2,753 feet ( 839 m ) above sea level . Hydrology The Buffalo National River is one of many attractions that give the state its nickname , The Natural State . Arkansas has many rivers , lakes , and reservoirs within or along its borders . Major tributaries of the Mississippi River include the Arkansas River , the White River , and the St. Francis River . The Arkansas is fed by the Mulberry River and the Fourche LaFave River in the Arkansas River Valley , which is also home to Lake Dardanelle . The Buffalo River , Little Red River , Black River and Cache River all serve as tributaries to the White River , which also empties into the Mississippi . The Saline River , Little Missouri River , Bayou Bartholomew , and the Caddo River all serve as tributaries to the Ouachita River in south Arkansas , which eventually empties into the Mississippi in Louisiana . The Red River briefly serves as the state 's boundary with Texas . Arkansas has few natural lakes and many reservoirs , such as Bull Shoals Lake , Lake Ouachita , Greers Ferry Lake , Millwood Lake , Beaver Lake , Norfork Lake , DeGray Lake , and Lake Conway . Arkansas is home to many caves , such as Blanchard Springs Caverns . More than 43,000 Native American living , hunting and tool making sites , many of them Pre-Columbian burial mounds and rock shelters , have been cataloged by the State Archeologist . Crater of Diamonds State Park near Murfreesboro is the world 's only diamond - bearing site accessible to the public for digging . Arkansas is home to a dozen Wilderness Areas totaling 158,444 acres ( 641.20 km ) . These areas are set aside for outdoor recreation and are open to hunting , fishing , hiking , and primitive camping . No mechanized vehicles nor developed campgrounds are allowed in these areas . Flora and fauna The White River in eastern Arkansas Arkansas is divided into three broad ecoregions , the Ozark , Ouachita - Appalachian Forests , Mississippi Alluvial and Southeast USA Coastal Plains , and the Southeastern USA Plainsand two biomes , the subtropical coniferous forest and the temperate deciduous forest . The state is further divided into seven subregions : the Arkansas Valley , Boston Mountains , Mississippi Alluvial Plain , Mississippi Valley Loess Plain , Ozark Highlands , Ouachita Mountains , and the South Central Plains . A 2010 United States Forest Service survey determined 18,720,000 acres ( 7,580,000 ha ) of Arkansas 's land is forestland , or 56 % of the state 's total area . Dominant species in Arkansas 's forests include Quercus ( oak ) , Carya ( hickory ) , Pinus echinata ( shortleaf pine ) and Pinus taeda ( loblolly pine ) . Arkansas 's plant life varies with its climate and elevation . The pine belt stretching from the Arkansas delta to Texas consists of dense oak - hickory - pine growth . Lumbering and paper milling activity is active throughout the region . In eastern Arkansas , one can find Taxodium ( cypress ) , Quercus nigra ( water oaks ) , and hickories with their roots submerged in the Mississippi Valley bayous indicative of the deep south . Nearby Crowley 's Ridge is only home of the tulip tree in the state , and generally hosts more northeastern plant life such as the beech tree . The northwestern highlands are covered in an oak - hickory mixture , with Ozark white cedars , cornus ( dogwoods ) , and Cercis canadensis ( redbuds ) also present . The higher peaks in the Arkansas River Valley play host to scores of ferns , including the Woodsia scopulina and Adiantum ( maidenhair fern ) on Mount Magazine . Climate Devil 's Den State Park is a state park in Washington County for enjoying autumn foliage . Winter at Historic Washington State Park , Arkansas Arkansas generally has a humid subtropical climate . While not bordering the Gulf of Mexico , Arkansas is still close enough to this warm , large body of water for it to influence the weather in the state . Generally , Arkansas has hot , humid summers and slightly drier , mild to cool winters . In Little Rock , the daily high temperatures average around 93 ° F ( 34 ° C ) with lows around 73 ° F ( 23 ° C ) in July . In January highs average around 51 ° F ( 11 ° C ) and lows around 32 ° F ( 0 ° C ) . In Siloam Springs in the northwest part of the state , the average high and low temperatures in July are 89 and 67 ° F ( 32 and 19 ° C ) and in January the average high and lows are 44 and 23 ° F ( 7 and − 5 ° C ) . Annual precipitation throughout the state averages between about 40 and 60 inches ( 1,000 and 1,500 mm ) ; somewhat wetter in the south and drier in the northern part of the state . Snowfall is infrequent but most common in the northern half of the state . The half of the state south of Little Rock is more apt to see ice storms . Arkansas 's all - time record high is 120 ° F ( 49 ° C ) at Ozark on August 10 , 1936 ; the all - time record low is − 29 ° F ( − 34 ° C ) at Gravette , on February 13 , 1905 . Arkansas is known for extreme weather and frequent storms . A typical year brings thunderstorms , tornadoes , hail , snow and ice storms . Between both the Great Plains and the Gulf States , Arkansas receives around 60 days of thunderstorms . Arkansas is located in Tornado Alley , and as a result , a few of the most destructive tornadoes in U.S. history have struck the state . While sufficiently far from the coast to avoid a direct hit from a hurricane , Arkansas can often get the remnants of a tropical system , which dumps tremendous amounts of rain in a short time and often spawns smaller tornadoes .

Before European settlement of North America , Arkansas was inhabited by indigenous peoples for thousands of years . The Caddo , Osage , and Quapaw peoples encountered European explorers . The first of these Europeans was Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1541 , who crossed the Mississippi and marched across central Arkansas , the Ozark Mountains , and all the way to Texas . Around McArthur , Arkansas , he led a Spanish raid against the Quigualtam tribe , slaying men , women and children without mercy . De Soto died there the next day , in May 1542 , opting for a watery burial to hide from the Natives that he was not a deity . While he was dumped into the Mississippi River , the once rich De Soto 's will listed : `` four Indian slaves , three horses and 700 hogs . '' Later explorers included the French Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet in 1673 , and Frenchmen Robert La Salle and Henri de Tonti in 1681 . De Tonti established Arkansas Post at a Quapaw village in 1686 , making it the first European settlement in the territory . The early Spanish or French explorers of the state gave it its name , which is probably a phonetic spelling of the Illinois tribe 's name for the Quapaw people , who lived downriver from them . The name Arkansas has been pronounced and spelled in a variety of fashions . The region was organized as the Territory of Arkansaw on July 4 , 1819 , with the territory admitted to the United States as the state of Arkansas on June 15 , 1836 . The name was historically / ˈɑːrkənsɔː / , / ɑːr ˈkænzəs / , and several other variants . Historically and modernly , the people of Arkansas call themselves either `` Arkansans '' or `` Arkansawyers '' . In 1881 , the Arkansas General Assembly passed Arkansas Code 1 - 4 - 105 ( official text ) : Whereas , confusion of practice has arisen in the pronunciation of the name of our state and it is deemed important that the true pronunciation should be determined for use in oral official proceedings . And , whereas , the matter has been thoroughly investigated by the State Historical Society and the Eclectic Society of Little Rock , which have agreed upon the correct pronunciation as derived from history , and the early usage of the American immigrants . Be it therefore resolved by both houses of the General Assembly , that the only true pronunciation of the name of the state , in the opinion of this body , is that received by the French from the native Indians and committed to writing in the French word representing the sound . It should be pronounced in three ( 3 ) syllables , with the final `` s '' silent , the `` a '' in each syllable with the Italian sound , and the accent on the first and last syllables . The pronunciation with the accent on the second syllable with the sound of `` a '' in `` man '' and the sounding of the terminal `` s '' is an innovation to be discouraged . Citizens of the state of Kansas often pronounce the Arkansas River as / ɑːr ˈkænzəs ˈrɪvər / , in a manner similar to the common pronunciation of the name of their state . Settlers , such as fur trappers , moved to Arkansas in the early 18th century . These people used Arkansas Post as a home base and entrepôt . During the colonial period , Arkansas changed hands between France and Spain following the Seven Years ' War , although neither showed interest in the remote settlement of Arkansas Post . In April 1783 , Arkansas saw its only battle of the American Revolutionary War , a brief siege of the post by British Captain James Colbert with the assistance of the Choctaw and Chickasaw . Evolution from the Territory of Arkansaw to State of Arkansas , 1819 -- 1836 Napoleon Bonaparte sold French Louisiana to the United States in 1803 , including all of Arkansas , in a transaction known today as the Louisiana Purchase . French soldiers remained as a garrison at Arkansas Post . Following the purchase , the balanced give - and - take relationship between settlers and Native Americans began to change all along the frontier , including in Arkansas . Following a controversy over allowing slavery in the territory , the Territory of Arkansas was organized on July 4 , 1819 . Gradual emancipation in Arkansas was struck down by one vote , the Speaker of the House Henry Clay , allowing Arkansas to organize as a slave territory . Slavery became a wedge issue in Arkansas , forming a geographic divide that remained for decades . Owners and operators of the cotton plantation economy in southeast Arkansas firmly supported slavery , as they perceived slave labor as the best or `` only '' economically viable method of harvesting their commodity crops . The `` hill country '' of northwest Arkansas was unable to grow cotton and relied on a cash - scarce , subsistence farming economy . As European Americans settled throughout the East Coast and into the Midwest , in the 1830s the United States government forced the removal of many Native American tribes to Arkansas and Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River . Additional Native American removals began in earnest during the territorial period , with final Quapaw removal complete by 1833 as they were pushed into Indian Territory . The capital was relocated from Arkansas Post to Little Rock in 1821 , during the territorial period . Statehood , Civil War and Reconstruction Lakeport Plantation , c. 1859 and built south of Lake Village , is the only remaining antebellum plantation house on the Mississippi River in Arkansas . Many planters became wealthy from the cotton industry in southern Arkansas . When Arkansas applied for statehood , the slavery issue was again raised in Washington , D.C. . Congress eventually approved the Arkansas Constitution after a 25 - hour session , admitting Arkansas on June 15 , 1836 as the 25th state and the 13th slave state , having a population of about 60,000 . Arkansas struggled with taxation to support its new state government , a problem made worse by a state banking scandal and worse yet by the Panic of 1837 . In early antebellum Arkansas , the southeast Arkansas slave based economy developed rapidly . On the eve of the Civil War in 1860 , enslaved African Americans numbered 111,115 people , just over 25 % of the state 's population . Plantation agriculture set the state and region behind the nation for decades . The wealth developed among planters of southeast Arkansas caused a political rift to form between the northwest and southeast . Many politicians were elected to office from the Family , the Southern rights political force in antebellum Arkansas . Residents generally wanted to avoid a civil war . When the Gulf states seceded in early 1861 , Arkansas voted to remain in the Union . Arkansas did not secede until Abraham Lincoln demanded Arkansas troops be sent to Fort Sumter to quell the rebellion there . The following month a state convention voted to terminate Arkansas 's membership in the Union and join the Confederate States of America . Arkansas held a very important position for the Rebels , maintaining control of the Mississippi River and surrounding Southern states . The bloody Battle of Wilson 's Creek just across the border in Missouri shocked many Arkansans who thought the war would be a quick and decisive Southern victory . Battles early in the war took place in northwest Arkansas , including the Battle of Cane Hill , Battle of Pea Ridge , and Battle of Prairie Grove . Union General Samuel Curtis swept across the state to Helena in the Delta in 1862 . Little Rock was captured the following year . The government shifted the state Confederate capital to Hot Springs , and then again to Washington from 1863 -- 1865 , for the remainder of the war . Throughout the state , guerrilla warfare ravaged the countryside and destroyed cities . Passion for the Confederate cause waned after implementation of programs such as the draft , high taxes , and martial law . Under the Military Reconstruction Act , Congress declared Arkansas restored to the Union in June 1868 , after the Legislature accepted the 14th Amendment . The Republican - controlled reconstruction legislature established universal male suffrage ( though temporarily disfranchising former Confederate Army officers , who were all Democrats ) , a public education system for blacks and whites , and passed general issues to improve the state and help more of the population . The State soon came under control of the Radical Republicans and Unionists , and led by Governor Powell Clayton , they presided over a time of great upheaval as Confederate sympathizers and the Ku Klux Klan fought the new developments , particularly voting rights for African Americans . In 1874 , the Brooks - Baxter War , a political struggle between factions of the Republican Party shook Little Rock and the state governorship . It was settled only when President Ulysses S. Grant ordered Joseph Brooks to disperse his militant supporters . Following the Brooks - Baxter War , a new state constitution was ratified , re-enfranchising former Confederates . In 1881 , the Arkansas state legislature enacted a bill that adopted an official pronunciation of the state 's name , to combat a controversy then simmering . ( See Law and Government below . ) After Reconstruction , the state began to receive more immigrants and migrants . Chinese , Italian , and Syrian men were recruited for farm labor in the developing Delta region . None of these nationalities stayed long at farm labor ; the Chinese especially quickly became small merchants in towns around the Delta . Many Chinese became such successful merchants in small towns that they were able to educate their children at college . Some early 20th - century immigration included people from eastern Europe . Together , these immigrants made the Delta more diverse than the rest of the state . In the same years , some black migrants moved into the area because of opportunities to develop the bottomlands and own their own property . Wife and children of a sharecropper in Washington County , Arkansas , c. 1935 Construction of railroads enabled more farmers to get their products to market . It also brought new development into different parts of the state , including the Ozarks , where some areas were developed as resorts . In a few years at the end of the 19th century , for instance , Eureka Springs in Carroll County grew to 10,000 people , rapidly becoming a tourist destination and the fourth - largest city of the state . It featured newly constructed , elegant resort hotels and spas planned around its natural springs , considered to have healthful properties . The town 's attractions included horse racing and other entertainment . It appealed to a wide variety of classes , becoming almost as popular as Hot Springs . In the late 1880s , the worsening agricultural depression catalyzed Populist and third party movements , leading to interracial coalitions . Struggling to stay in power , in the 1890s the Democrats in Arkansas followed other Southern states in passing legislation and constitutional amendments that disfranchised blacks and poor whites . Democrats wanted to prevent their alliance . In 1891 state legislators passed a requirement for a literacy test , knowing that it would exclude many blacks and whites . At the time when more than 25 % of the population could neither read nor write . In 1892 , they amended the state constitution to require a poll tax and more complex residency requirements , both of which adversely affected poor people and sharecroppers , forcing most blacks and many poor whites from voter rolls . By 1900 the Democratic Party expanded use of the white primary in county and state elections , further denying blacks a part in the political process . Only in the primary was there any competition among candidates , as Democrats held all the power . The state was a Democratic one - party state for decades , until after passage of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 to enforce constitutional rights . Between 1905 and 1911 , Arkansas began to receive a small immigration of German , Slovak , and Scots - Irish from Europe . The German and Slovak peoples settled in the eastern part of the state known as the Prairie , and the Irish founded small communities in the southeast part of the state . The Germans were mostly Lutheran and the Slovaks were primarily Catholic . The Irish were mostly Protestant from Ulster , of Scots and Northern Borders descent . Based on the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt given shortly after Imperial Japan 's attack on Pearl Harbor , nearly 16,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from the West Coast of the United States and incarcerated in two internment camp located in the Arkansas Delta . The Rohwer Camp in Desha County operated from September 1942 to November 1945 and its peak interned 8,475 prisoners . The Jerome War Relocation Center in Drew County operated from October 1942 to June 1944 and held c. 8,000 prisoners . After the Supreme Court 's decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka , Kansas in 1954 that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional , some students worked to integrate schools in the state . The Little Rock Nine brought Arkansas to national attention in 1957 when the Federal government had to intervene to protect African - American students trying to integrate a high school in the Arkansas capital . Governor Orval Faubus had ordered the Arkansas National Guard to aid segregationists in preventing nine African - American students from enrolling at Little Rock 's Central High School . After attempting three times to contact Faubus , President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent 1000 troops from the active - duty 101st Airborne Division to escort and protect the African - American students as they entered school on September 25 , 1957 . In defiance of federal court orders to integrate , the governor and city of Little Rock decided to close the high schools for the remainder of the school year . By the fall of 1959 , the Little Rock high schools were completely integrated . Bill Clinton , the 42nd President of the United States , was born in Hope , Arkansas . Before his presidency , Clinton served as the 40th and 42nd Governor of Arkansas , a total of nearly 12 years . Cities and towns Cleveland County Courthouse in Rison See also : List of cities and towns in Arkansas , Arkansas metropolitan areas , and List of townships in Arkansas Little Rock has been Arkansas 's capital city since 1821 when it replaced Arkansas Post as the capital of the Territory of Arkansas . The state capitol was moved to Hot Springs and later Washington during the Civil War when the Union armies threatened the city in 1862 , and state government did not return to Little Rock until after the war ended . Today , the Little Rock -- North Little Rock -- Conway metropolitan area is the largest in the state , with a population of 724,385 in 2013 . The Fayetteville -- Springdale -- Rogers Metropolitan Area is the second - largest metropolitan area in Arkansas , growing at the fastest rate due to the influx of businesses and the growth of the University of Arkansas and Walmart . The state has eight cities with populations above 50,000 ( based on 2010 census ) . In descending order of size , they are : Little Rock , Fort Smith , Fayetteville , Springdale , Jonesboro , North Little Rock , Conway , and Rogers . Of these , only Fort Smith and Jonesboro are outside the two largest metropolitan areas . Other cities are located in Arkansas such as Pine Bluff , Crossett , Bryant , Lake Village , Hot Springs , Bentonville , Texarkana , Sherwood , Jacksonville , Russellville , Bella Vista , West Memphis , Paragould , Cabot , Searcy , Van Buren , El Dorado , Blytheville , Harrison , Dumas , Rison , Warren , and Mountain Home .

Main article : Demographics of Arkansas The United States Census Bureau estimates that the population of Arkansas was 2,978,204 on July 1 , 2015 , a 2.14 % increase since the 2010 United States Census . As of 2015 , Arkansas has an estimated population of 2,978,204 . From fewer than 15,000 in 1820 , Arkansas 's population grew to 52,240 during a special census in 1835 , far exceeding the 40,000 required to apply for statehood . Following statehood in 1836 , the population doubled each decade until the 1870 Census conducted following the Civil War . The state recorded growth in each successive decade , although it gradually slowed in the 20th century . It recorded population losses in the 1950 and 1960 Censuses . This outmigration was a result of multiple factors , including farm mechanization , decreasing labor demand , and young educated people leaving the state due to a lack of non-farming industry in the state . Arkansas again began to grow , recording positive growth rates ever since and exceeding the 2 million mark during the 1980 Census . Arkansas 's rate of change , age distributions , and gender distributions mirror national averages . Minority group data also approximates national averages . There are fewer people in Arkansas of Hispanic or Latino origin than the national average . The center of population of Arkansas for 2000 was located in Perry County , near Nogal .

African Americans live mainly in the southern and eastern parts of the state . Arkansans of Irish , English and German ancestry are mostly found in the far northwestern Ozarks near the Missouri border . Ancestors of the Irish in the Ozarks were chiefly Scots - Irish , Protestants from Northern Ireland , the Scottish lowlands and northern England part of the largest group of immigrants from Great Britain and Ireland before the American Revolution . English and Scots - Irish immigrants settled throughout the backcountry of the South and in the more mountainous areas . Americans of English stock are found throughout the state . A 2010 survey of the principal ancestries of Arkansas 's residents revealed the following : 15.5 % African American 12.3 % Irish 11.5 % German 11.0 % American 10.1 % English 4.7 % Mexican 2.1 % French 1.7 % Scottish 1.7 % Dutch 1.6 % Italian 1.4 % Scots - Irish Most of the people identifying as American are of English descent and / or Scots - Irish descent . Their families have been in the state so long , in many cases since before statehood , that they choose to identify simply as having American ancestry or do not in fact know their own ancestry . Their ancestry primarily goes back to the original 13 colonies and for this reason many of them today simply claim American ancestry . Many people who identify themselves as Irish descent are in fact of Scots - Irish descent . According to the 2006 -- 2008 American Community Survey , 93.8 % of Arkansas 's population ( over the age of five ) spoke only English at home .

The state 's culture also includes distinct cuisine , dialect , and traditional festivals . Sports are also very important to the culture of Arkansas , ranging from football , baseball , and basketball to hunting and fishing . Perhaps the best - known piece of Arkansas 's culture is the stereotype of its citizens as shiftless hillbillies . The reputation began when the state was characterized by early explorers as a savage wilderness full of outlaws and thieves . The most enduring icon of Arkansas 's hillbilly reputation is The Arkansas Traveller , a painted depiction of a folk tale from the 1840s . Although intended to represent the divide between rich southeastern plantation Arkansas planters and the poor northwestern hill country , the meaning was twisted to represent a Northerner lost in the Ozarks on a white horse asking a backwoods Arkansan for directions . The state also suffers from the racial stigma common to former Confederate states , with historical events such as the Little Rock Nine adding to Arkansas 's enduring image . Art and history museums display pieces of cultural value for Arkansans and tourists to enjoy . Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville was visited by 604,000 people in 2012 , its first year . The museum includes walking trails and educational opportunities in addition to displaying over 450 works covering five centuries of American art . Several historic town sites have been restored as Arkansas state parks , including Historic Washington State Park , Powhatan Historic State Park , and Davidsonville Historic State Park . Arkansas features a variety of native music across the state , ranging from the blues heritage of West Memphis , Pine Bluff , Helena - West Helena to rockabilly , bluegrass , and folk music from the Ozarks . Festivals such as the King Biscuit Blues Festival and Bikes , Blues , and BBQ pay homage to the history of blues in the state . The Ozark Folk Festival in Mountain View is a celebration of Ozark culture and often features folk and bluegrass musicians . Literature set in Arkansas such as I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and A Painted House by John Grisham describe the culture at various time periods . Sports and recreation The flooded forested bottomlands of east Arkansas attract wintering waterfowl ( Wapanocca National Wildlife Refuge ) . Sports have become an integral part of the culture of Arkansas , and her residents enjoy participating in and spectating various events throughout the year . Team sports and especially collegiate football have been important to Arkansans . College football in Arkansas began from humble beginnings . The University of Arkansas first fielded a team in 1894 when football was a very dangerous game . Recent studies of the damage to team members from the concussions common in football make it clear that the danger persists . `` Calling the Hogs '' is a cheer that shows support for the Razorbacks , one of the two NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision ( FBS ) teams in the state . High school football also began to grow in Arkansas in the early 20th century . Over the years , many Arkansans have looked to the Razorbacks football team as the public image of the state . Following the Little Rock Nine integration crisis at Little Rock Central High School , Arkansans looked to the successful Razorback teams in the following years to repair the state 's reputation . Although the University of Arkansas is based in Fayetteville , the Razorbacks have always played at least one game per season at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock in an effort to keep fan support in central and south Arkansas . Arkansas State University joined the University of Arkansas in FBS ( then known as Division I-A ) in 1992 after playing in lower divisions for nearly two decades . The two schools have never played each other , due to the University of Arkansas 's policy of not playing intrastate games . Two other campuses of the University of Arkansas System are Division I members . The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff is a member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference , a league whose members all play football in the second - level Football Championship Subdivision ( FCS ) . The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is a member of the FBS Sun Belt Conference , but is one of two conference schools that has no football program . The state 's other Division I member is the University of Central Arkansas , which is a full member ( including football ) of the FCS Southland Conference . Seven of Arkansas 's smaller colleges play in NCAA Division II , with six in the Great American Conference and one in the Heartland Conference . Two other small Arkansas colleges compete in NCAA Division III , in which athletic scholarships are prohibited . Baseball runs deep in Arkansas and has been popular before the state hosted Major League Baseball ( MLB ) spring training in Hot Springs from 1886 - 1920s . Two minor league teams are based in the state . The Arkansas Travelers play at Dickey - Stephens Park in North Little Rock , and the Northwest Arkansas Naturals play in Arvest Ballpark in Springdale . Both teams compete in the Texas League . Related to the state 's frontier past , hunting continues in the state . The state created the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission in 1915 to regulate hunting and enforce those regulations . Today a significant portion of Arkansas 's population participates in hunting duck in the Mississippi flyway and deer across the state . Millions of acres of public land are available for both bow and modern gun hunters . Fishing has always been popular in Arkansas , and the sport and the state have benefited from the creation of reservoirs across the state . Following the completion of Norfork Dam , the Norfork Tailwater and the White River have become a destination for trout fishers . Several smaller retirement communities such as Bull Shoals , Hot Springs Village , and Fairfield Bay have flourished due to their position on a fishing lake . The Buffalo National River has been preserved in its natural state by the National Park Service and is frequented by fly fishers annually . Health UAMS Medical Center , Little Rock See also : List of hospitals in Arkansas Arkansas , as with many Southern states , have a high incidence of premature death , infant mortality , cardiovascular deaths , and occupational fatalities compared to the rest of the United States . The state is tied for 43rd with New York in percentage of adults who regularly exercise . Arkansas is usually ranked as one of the least healthy states due to high obesity , smoking , and sedentary lifestyle rates . In contrast though a Gallup poll demonstrates that Arkansas made the most immediate progress in reducing its number of uninsured residents following the passage of the Affordable Care Act . The percentage of uninsured in Arkansas dropped from 22.5 percent in 2013 to 12.4 percent in August 2014 . The Arkansas Clean Indoor Air Act went into effect in 2006 , a statewide smoking ban excluding bars and some restaurants . Healthcare in Arkansas is provided by a network of hospitals as members of the Arkansas Hospital Association . Major institutions with multiple branches include Baptist Health , Community Health Systems , and HealthSouth . The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences ( UAMS ) in Little Rock operates the UAMS Medical Center , a teaching hospital ranked as high performing nationally in cancer and nephrology . The pediatric division of UAMS Medical Center is known as Arkansas Children 's Hospital , nationally ranked in pediatric cardiology and heart surgery . Together , these two institutions are the state 's only Level I trauma centers . Education See also : List of colleges and universities in Arkansas , List of high schools in Arkansas , and List of school districts in Arkansas Arkansas has 1,064 state - funded kindergartens , elementary , junior - and senior high schools . The state supports a network of public universities and colleges , including two major university systems : Arkansas State University System and University of Arkansas System . The University of Arkansas , flagship campus of the University of Arkansas System in Fayetteville was ranked # 63 among public schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report . Other public institutions include University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff , Arkansas Tech University , Henderson State University , Southern Arkansas University , and University of Central Arkansas across the state . It is also home to 11 private colleges and universities including Hendrix College , one of the nation 's top 100 liberal arts colleges , according to U.S. News & World Report . In the 1920s the state required all children to attend public schools . The school year was set at 131 days , although some areas were unable to meet that requirement . Although unusual in the West , school corporal punishment is not uncommon in Arkansas , with 20,083 public school students paddled at least one time , according to government data for the 2011 -- 2012 school year . The rate of corporal punishment in public schools is higher only in Mississippi . Educational attainment Arkansas is one of the most under - educated states in the Union . It ranks near the bottom in terms of percentage of the population with either a high school or college degree . The state 's educational system has a history of under - funding , low teachers ' salaries and political meddling in the curriculum . Educational statistics during these early days are fragmentary and unreliable . Many counties did not submit full reports to the Secretary of State who did double - duty as Commissioner of Common Schools . However , the percentage of Whites over twenty years of age who were illiterate was given as : 1840 21 % 1850 25 % 1860 17 % In 2010 Arkansas students earned an average score of 20.3 on the ACT exam , just below the national average of 21 . These results were expected due to the large increase in the number of students taking the exam since the establishment of the Academic Challenge Scholarship . Top high schools receiving recognition from the U.S. News & World Report are spread across the state , including Haas Hall Academy in Fayetteville , KIPP Delta Collegiate in Helena - West Helena , Bentonville , Rogers , Rogers Heritage , Valley Springs , Searcy , and McCrory . A total of 81 Arkansas high schools were ranked by the U.S. News & World Report in 2012 . Old Main , part of the Campus Historic District at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville Arkansas ranks as the 32nd smartest state on the Morgan Quitno Smartest State Award , 44th in percentage of residents with at least a high school diploma , and 48th in percentage of bachelor 's degree attainment . Arkansas has been making strides in education reform . Education Week has praised the state , ranking Arkansas in the top 10 of their Quality Counts Education Rankings every year since 2009 while scoring it in the top 5 during 2012 and 2013 . Arkansas specifically received an A in Transition and Policy Making for progress in this area consisting of early - childhood education , college readiness , and career readiness . Governor Mike Beebe has made improving education a major issue through his attempts to spend more on education . Through reforms , the state is a leader in requiring curricula designed to prepare students for postsecondary education , rewarding teachers for student achievement , and providing incentives for principals who work in lower - tier schools . Funding As an organized territory , and later in the early days of statehood , education was funded by the sales of Federally - controlled public lands . This system was inadequate and prone to local graft . In an 1854 message to the Legislature , Governor Elias N. Conway said , `` We have a common - school law intended as a system to establish common schools in all part of the state ; but for the want of adequate means there are very few in operation under this law . '' At this time , only about a quarter of children were enrolled in school . By the beginning of the American Civil War , the state had only twenty - five publicly - funded common schools . In 1867 , the state legislature was still controlled by ex-Confederates . It passed a Common Schools Law that allowed public funded but limited schools to White children . The 1868 legislature banned former Confederates and passed a more wide - ranging law detailing funding and administrative issues and allowing Black children to attend school . In furtherance of this , the postwar 1868 state constitution was the first to permit a personal - property tax to fund the lands and buildings for public schools . With the 1868 elections , the first county school commissioners took office . In 2014 , the state spent $9,616 per student , compared with a national average of about $11,000 putting Arkansas in nineteenth place . Timeline 1829 Territorial legislature permits townships to establish schools . 1868 State law required racial segregation of schools . 1871 University of Arkansas established . 1873 University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff established as a school to train Black teachers . 1877 Philander Smith College established as a school for Black students . 1890 Henderson State University established as a private school . The state assumed responsibility for it in 1929 as Henderson State Teachers College . 1885 Arkansas School for the Deaf and Arkansas School for the Blind established . 1909 Arkansas Tech University , Southern Arkansas University , University of Arkansas at Monticello and Arkansas State University established as schools offering high school diplomas and vocational training . c. 1920 Schooling made compulsory . 1925 University of Central Arkansas established as Arkansas State Normal School established . 1948 University of Arkansas School of Law admits a Black student 1957 Governor Orval Faubus used National Guard troops to oppose racial integration of Little Rock Central High School . 1958 In Cooper v. Aaron the United States Supreme Court ruled the state was bound to integrate school despite the opposition of the governor and legislature . 1983 The Arkansas State Supreme Court ruled the state 's funding of education was Constitutionally deficient . Transportation Main articles : Transportation in Arkansas , List of Arkansas railroads , and Aviation in Arkansas The Greenville Bridge over the Mississippi River , August 2009 The Missouri and Northern Arkansas Railroad Transportation in Arkansas is overseen by the Arkansas Department of Transportation ( ArDOT ) , headquartered in Little Rock . Several main corridors pass through Little Rock , including Interstate 30 ( I - 30 ) and I - 40 ( the nation 's 3rd - busiest trucking corridor ) . In northeast Arkansas , I - 55 travels north from Memphis to Missouri , with a new spur to Jonesboro ( I - 555 ) . Northwest Arkansas is served by I - 540 from Fort Smith to Bella Vista , which is a segment of future I - 49 . The state also has the 13th largest state highway system in the nation . Arkansas is served by 2,750 miles ( 4,430 km ) of railroad track divided among twenty - six railroad companies including three Class I railroads . Freight railroads are concentrated in southeast Arkansas to serve the industries in the region . The Texas Eagle , an Amtrak passenger train , serves five stations in the state Walnut Ridge , Little Rock , Malvern , Arkadelphia , and Texarkana . Arkansas also benefits from the use of its rivers for commerce . The Mississippi River and Arkansas River are both major rivers . The United States Army Corps of Engineers maintains the McClellan - Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System , allowing barge traffic up the Arkansas River to the Port of Catoosa in Tulsa , Oklahoma . There are four airports with commercial service : Clinton National Airport , Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport , Fort Smith Regional Airport , and Texarkana Regional Airport , with dozens of smaller airports in the state . Public transit and community transport services for the elderly or those with developmental disabilities are provided by agencies such as the Central Arkansas Transit Authority and the Ozark Regional Transit , organizations that are part of the Arkansas Transit Association . Law and government Main article : Politics and government of Arkansas As with the federal government of the United States , political power in Arkansas is divided into three branches : executive , legislative , and judicial . Each officer 's term is four years long . Office holders are term - limited to two full terms plus any partial terms before the first full term . Executive Main article : Governor of Arkansas See also : List of Governors of Arkansas The Governor of Arkansas is Asa Hutchinson , a Republican , who was inaugurated on January 13 , 2015 . The six other elected executive positions in Arkansas are lieutenant governor , secretary of state , attorney general , treasurer , auditor , and land commissioner . The governor also appoints qualified individuals to lead various state boards , committees , and departments . Arkansas governors served two - year terms until a referendum lengthened the term to four years , effective with the 1986 general election . In Arkansas , the lieutenant governor is elected separately from the governor and thus can be from a different political party . Legislative Main article : Arkansas General Assembly The Arkansas General Assembly is the state 's bicameral bodies of legislators , composed of the Senate and House of Representatives . The Senate contains 35 members from districts of approximately equal population . These districts are redrawn decennially with each US census , and in election years ending in `` 2 '' , the entire body is put up for reelection . Following the election , half of the seats are designated as two - year seats and are up for reelection again in two years , these `` half - terms '' do not count against a legislator 's term limits . The remaining half serve a full four - year term . This staggers elections such that half the body is up for re-election every two years and allows for complete body turnover following redistricting . Arkansas voters selected a 21 -- 14 Republican majority in the Senate in 2012 . Arkansas House members can serve a maximum of three two - year terms . House districts are redistricted by the Arkansas Board of Apportionment . Following the 2012 elections , Republicans gained a 51 -- 49 majority in the House of Representatives . The Republican Party majority status in the Arkansas State House of Representatives following the 2012 elections is the party 's first since 1874 . Arkansas was the last state of the old Confederacy to never have Republicans control either chamber of its house since the Civil War . Following the term limits changes , studies have shown that lobbyists have become less influential in state politics . Legislative staff , not subject to term limits , have acquired additional power and influence due to the high rate of elected official turnover . Judicial Main article : Courts of Arkansas Arkansas 's judicial branch has five court systems : Arkansas Supreme Court , Arkansas Court of Appeals , Circuit Courts , District Courts and City Courts . Most cases begin in district court , which is subdivided into state district court and local district court . State district courts exercise district - wide jurisdiction over the districts created by the General Assembly , and local district courts are presided over by part - time judges who may privately practice law . 25 state district court judges preside over 15 districts , with more districts created in 2013 and 2017 . There are 28 judicial circuits of Circuit Court , with each contains five subdivisions : criminal , civil , probate , domestic relations , and juvenile court . The jurisdiction of the Arkansas Court of Appeals is determined by the Arkansas Supreme Court , and there is no right of appeal from the Court of Appeals to the high court . The Arkansas Supreme Court can review Court of Appeals cases upon application by either a party to the litigation , upon request by the Court of Appeals , or if the Arkansas Supreme Court feels the case should have been initially assigned to it . The twelve judges of the Arkansas Court of Appeals are elected from judicial districts to renewable six - year terms . The Arkansas Supreme Court is the court of last resort in the state , composed of seven justices elected to eight - year terms . Established by the Arkansas Constitution in 1836 , the court 's decisions can be appealed to only the Supreme Court of the United States . Federal Both of Arkansas 's U.S. Senators , John Boozman and Tom Cotton , are Republicans . The state has four seats in U.S. House of Representatives . All four seats are held by Republicans : Rick Crawford ( 1st district ) , French Hill ( 2nd district ) , Steve Womack ( 3rd district ) , and Bruce Westerman ( 4th district ) . Politics Main article : Politics and government of Arkansas Presidential elections results Year Republican Democratic 2016 60.57 % 684,872 33.65 % 380,494 2012 60.57 % 647,744 36.88 % 394,409 2008 58.72 % 638,017 38.86 % 422,310 54.31 % 572,898 44.55 % 469,953 2000 51.31 % 472,940 45.86 % 422,768 36.80 % 325,416 53.74 % 475,171 35.48 % 337,324 53.21 % 505,823 56.37 % 466,578 42.19 % 349,237 1984 60.47 % 534,774 38.29 % 338,646 1980 48.13 % 403,164 47.52 % 398,041 1976 34.93 % 268,753 64.94 % 499,614 1972 68.82 % 445,751 30.71 % 198,899 Treemap of the popular vote by county , 2016 presidential election . Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton brought national attention to the state with a long speech at the 1988 Democratic National Convention endorsing Michael Dukakis . Some journalist suggested the speech was a threat to his ambitions , Clinton defined it `` a comedy of error , just one of those fluky things '' . Clinton won the Democratic nomination for President the following cycle . Presenting himself as a `` New Democrat '' and using incumbent George H.W. Bush 's broken promise against him , Clinton won the 1992 presidential election ( 43.0 % of the vote ) against Republican Bush ( 37.4 % of the vote ) and billionaire populist Ross Perot , who ran as an independent ( 18.9 % of the vote ) . Most Republican strength traditionally lied mainly in the northwestern part of the state , particularly Fort Smith and Bentonville , as well as North Central Arkansas around the Mountain Home area . In the latter area , Republicans have been known to get 90 percent or more of the vote , while the rest of the state was more Democratic . After 2010 , Republican strength expanded further to the Northeast and Southwest and into the Little Rock suburbs . The Democrats are mostly concentrated to central Little Rock , the Mississippi Delta , the Pine Bluff area , and the areas around the southern border with Louisiana . Arkansas has only elected three Republicans to the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction , Tim Hutchinson , who was defeated after one term by Mark Pryor ; John Boozman , who defeated incumbent Blanche Lincoln ; and Tom Cotton , who defeated Mark Pryor in the 2014 elections . Before 2013 , the General Assembly had not been controlled by the Republican Party since Reconstruction , with the GOP holding a 51 - seat majority in the state House and a 21 - seat ( of 35 ) in the state Senate following victories in 2012 . Arkansas was one of just three states among the states of the former Confederacy that sent two Democrats to the U.S. Senate ( the others being Florida and Virginia ) for any period during the first decade of the 21st century . In 2010 , Republicans captured three of the state 's four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives . In 2012 , Republicans won election for all four House seats . Arkansas held the distinction of having a U.S. House delegation composed entirely of military veterans ( Rick Crawford -- Army ; Tim Griffin -- Army Reserve ; Steve Womack -- Army National Guard , Tom Cotton - Army ) . In 2014 , the last Democrat in Arkansas 's Congressional Delegation , Mark Pryor , was defeated in campaign to win a third term in the U.S. Senate , leaving the entire congressional delegation in GOP hands for the first time since Reconstruction . Reflecting the state 's large evangelical population , the state has a strong social conservative bent . Under the Arkansas Constitution Arkansas is a right to work state , its voters passed a ban on same - sex marriage with 75 % voting yes , and the state is one of a handful with legislation on its books banning abortion in the event Roe v. Wade is ever overturned . Attractions Blanchard Springs Caverns in Stone County is a tourist destination . Arkansas is home to many areas protected by the National Park System . These include : Arkansas Post National Memorial at Gillett Blanchard Springs Caverns Buffalo National River Fort Smith National Historic Site Hot Springs National Park Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site Pea Ridge National Military Park President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site Arkansas State Capitol Building List of Arkansas state parks See also Arkansas portal Outline of Arkansas -- organized list of topics about Arkansas Index of Arkansas - related articles List of people from Arkansas LGBT rights in Arkansas USS Arkansas Notes ^ Jump up to : Elevation adjusted to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 . Jump up ^ The Geographic Names Index System ( GNIS ) of the United States Geological Survey ( USGS ) indicates that the official name of this feature is Magazine Mountain , not `` Mount Magazine '' . Although not a hard and fast rule , generally `` Mount X '' is used for a peak and `` X Mountain '' is more frequently used for ridges , which better describes this feature . Magazine Mountain appears in the GNIS as a ridge , with Signal Hill identified as its summit . `` Mount Magazine '' is the name used by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism , which follows what the locals have used since the area was first settled . ^ Jump up to : The name Arkansas has been pronounced and spelled in a variety of fashions . The region was organized as the Territory of Arkansaw on July 4 , 1819 , but the territory was admitted to the United States as the state of Arkansas on June 15 , 1836 . The name was historically / ˈɑːrkənsɔː / , / ɑːr ˈkænzəs / , and several other variants . Historically and modernly , the people of Arkansas call themselves either `` Arkansans '' or `` Arkansawyers '' . In 1881 , the Arkansas General Assembly passed the following concurrent resolution , now Arkansas Code 1 April 105 : Whereas , confusion of practice has arisen in the pronunciation of the name of our state and it is deemed important that the true pronunciation should be determined for use in oral official proceedings . And , whereas , the matter has been thoroughly investigated by the State Historical Society and the Eclectic Society of Little Rock , which have agreed upon the correct pronunciation as derived from history , and the early usage of the American immigrants ... Be it therefore resolved by both houses of the General Assembly , that the only true pronunciation of the name of the state , in the opinion of this body , is that received by the French from the native Indians and committed to writing in the French word representing the sound . It should be pronounced in three ( 3 ) syllables , with the final `` s '' silent , the `` a '' in each syllable with the Italian sound , and the accent on the first and last syllables . The pronunciation with the accent on the second syllable with the sound of `` a '' in `` man '' and the sounding of the terminal `` s '' is discouraged by Arkansans . Despite this , the state 's name is still frequently mispronounced , especially by non-Americans ; in fact , it is spelled in Cyrillic with the ar - KAN - zəs pronunciation . Citizens of the state of Kansas often pronounce the Arkansas River as / ɑːr ˈkænzəs ˈrɪvər / , in a manner similar to the common pronunciation of the name of their state .

A continuation of Stephen King 's novel series of the same name , the film stars Idris Elba as Roland Deschain , a gunslinger on a quest to protect the Dark Tower -- a mythical structure which supports all realities -- while Matthew McConaughey plays his nemesis , Walter Padick , the Man in Black , and Tom Taylor stars as Jake Chambers , a New York boy who becomes Roland 's apprentice . Intended to launch a film and television franchise , the first installment combines elements from several novels in the eight - volume series , and takes place in both modern - day New York City and in Mid-World , Roland 's Old West - style parallel universe . The film also serves as a canonical sequel to the novel series , which concludes with the revelation that Roland 's quest is a cyclical time loop ; the presence of the Horn of Eld , which Roland carries in the film , indicates that this is the next cycle . The Dark Tower premiered at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on July 31 , 2017 , and was theatrically released in the United States on August 4 , 2017 by Columbia Pictures . It has grossed $107 million worldwide against production budget of $60 million , and received generally negative reviews , with critics calling it `` a dull disappointment without any set audience : incomprehensible to newbies , and wildly unfaithful and simplistic to fans of King 's books '' , though Elba 's performance earned some praise .

Jake 's mother , stepfather , and psychiatrists dismiss these as dreams resulting from the trauma of his father 's death the previous year . At his apartment home in New York City , a group of workers from an alleged psychiatric facility offer to rehabilitate Jake ; recognizing them from his visions as monsters wearing human skin , he flees . Jake tracks down an abandoned house from one of his visions , discovers a high - tech portal , and travels to a post-apocalyptic world called Mid-World . In Mid-World , Jake encounters the last Gunslinger , Roland Deschain who emerged in his visions . Roland is pursuing Walter Padick , the Man in Black who had also appeared in his dreams across a desert , seeking to kill him in revenge for the murder of his father , Steven . He explains that Walter has been abducting psychic children , and is attempting to use their powers to destroy the Dark Tower , a fabled structure located at the center of the universe ; this will allow monsters from the darkness outside to invade and destroy reality . Roland takes Jake to a village to have his visions interpreted by a seer . Learning of Jake 's escape and journey to Mid-World , Walter investigates , and realizes that Jake has enough psychic potential to destroy the Tower single - handedly . He kills Jake 's stepfather , then interrogates his mother about his visions and kills her . In Mid-World , the seer explains that Roland can find Walter 's base of operations in New York . Walter 's minions , the Taheen , attack the village , but Roland kills them . Roland and Jake return to Earth . When Jake returns home to check in on his parents , he finds their remains and breaks down . Roland vows to avenge them and comforts Jake by teaching him the Gunslinger 's creed and the basics of gun fighting . While Roland re-arms himself at a gun store , Walter captures Jake . At his base , he straps Jake to a machine , intending for him to destroy the Tower . Jake uses his psychic powers to alert Roland to his location , and Roland battles his way through Walter 's henchmen . Walter confronts Roland , wounding him . After Jake reminds him of the Gunslinger 's creed , Roland recovers and kills Walter with a trick shot after a brief fight . Roland destroys the machine , saving the Tower , Jake and the other children . Afterwards , Roland says that he must return to his own world . He offers Jake a place by his side as his companion , which Jake accepts . The two depart for Mid-World . Cast ( edit ) Idris Elba as Roland Deschain The last of the Gunslingers . On the choice of Elba , director and co-writer Nikolaj Arcel stated , `` For me , it just clicked . He 's such a formidable man . '' He added that he had been an admirer of Elba 's since The Wire , and stated , `` I had to go to Idris and tell him my vision for the entire journey with Roland and the ka - tet . We discussed , who is this character ? What 's he about ? What 's his quest ? What 's his psychology ? We tried to figure out if we saw the same guy . And we absolutely had all the same ideas and thoughts . He had a unique vision for who Roland would be . '' Stephen King himself spoke highly of Elba , stating : `` I love it . I think he 's a terrific actor , one of the best working in the business now . '' On the character of Roland , King noted : `` For me the character is still the character . It 's almost a Sergio Leone character , like the Man with No Name , '' while remarking , `` He can be white or black , it makes no difference to me . I think it opens all kind of exciting possibilities for the backstory . '' Matthew McConaughey as Walter Padick , the Man in Black A ruthless ageless deceiver and sorcerer who seeks to reach the tower and rule over its seemingly infinite kingdoms . On the choice of McConaughey , Arcel stated , `` Matthew is an incredible actor who can do anything . That 's how I feel about ( Walter ) . He could do anything . '' About the character of Padick , Arcel added , `` He is this timeless sorcerer , and being a Stephen King fan , I 've read and experienced Walter in various iterations , '' making reference to The Stand and The Eyes of the Dragon . `` He has a very interesting way of seeing the world . He sees it with a sort of delight , even though he is obviously on the wrong side of the light - and - dark spectrum . He 's someone I 've been having a lot of fun with . '' King made mention of him never having a clear image of the character 's face , to which he explained : `` I never really thought of him . But ( in the movie ) he becomes a character who is n't just a mirage that Roland is chasing . The way things are set up , he 's right there . '' Tom Taylor as Jake Chambers A young boy whom Roland must call upon to complete his journey , and a son - like figure to Deschain . Taylor won the role after an international search . Claudia Kim as Arra Champignon Fran Kranz as Pimli Abbey Lee as Tirana Jackie Earle Haley as Sayre Katheryn Winnick as Laurie Chambers Dennis Haysbert as Steven Deschain , Roland 's father . Michael Barbieri as Timmy José Zúñiga as Dr. Hotchkiss Alex McGregor as Susan Delgado Nicholas Hamilton as Lucas Hanson De-Wet Nagel as Taheen Tech Development history ( edit ) The Dark Tower 's protagonist Roland as depicted in the opening credits of another Stephen King adaptation , The Mist ( 2007 ) Efforts to adapt The Dark Tower series for the screen have been ongoing since 2007 , with periodic reports and official announcements . The project was shelved , before the rights were transitioned to a different production company . Development experienced starts and stops with various filmmakers and studios at different times , including Universal Films , Paramount , Columbia - Tristar Entertainment , and Lionsgate Entertainment . The adaptation went through three major phases of planning : with J.J. Abrams from 2007 to 2009 , Ron Howard from 2010 to 2015 , and finally , the current iteration , announced in March 2015 , produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Media Rights Capital , with Nikolaj Arcel directing and Howard remaining in a producing role . J.J. Abrams ( 2007 -- 2009 ) ( edit ) By early February 2007 , a film adaptation of The Dark Tower series was in the works . J.J. Abrams , co-creator of the television series Lost , was said to be attached to produce and direct . Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof , who co-created Lost with Abrams , optioned The Dark Tower from King for a reported amount of $19 , a number that mysteriously recurs throughout the series . According to issue # 923 of Entertainment Weekly , King `` is an ardent supporter of ( Lost ) and trusts Abrams to translate his vision '' into a film franchise , with Lindelof being `` the leading candidate to write the screenplay for the first installment . '' It was around this time that Marvel Comics launched their graphic novel adaptation of The Dark Tower with The Dark Tower : The Gunslinger Born . Later , in March 2007 , Abrams noted in an interview with Wired that the project is `` something that we are just now talking about with Stephen , so it 's too early for me to say that we 're even officially doing it yet just because the thing is in the early stages of discussion . '' A year later , in February 2008 , Abrams reiterated that The Dark Tower adaptation was in the early stages of development , when interviewed by Reelz Channel . When interviewed by AMC in September 2008 , Abrams admitted that the project needs time he does not have because of Lost , especially since he would like to see a seven - film series ( the eighth novel was published in 2012 ) . However , in May 2009 , Abrams stated to IGN that he and Lindelof were planning on beginning work on The Dark Tower as soon as Lost finished its run . Speaking to MTV News around the same time , Lindelof revealed some apprehension regarding the project , noting that his `` reverence for Stephen King is now getting in the way of what any good writer would do first when they 're adapting a book , which is take creative license . '' In a July 2009 interview with C21 Media , Lindelof revealed that he and Cuse had indeed optioned the rights for The Dark Tower , but said he was wary about committing to such an ambitious project : `` The idea of taking on something that massive again after having done six seasons of Lost is intimidating and slightly frightening , to say the least . '' With these reservations being voiced by the producers , this initial phase of the project came to an end at the end of 2009 after three years , since this was a three - year option . In an interview with USA Today in October 2009 , Damon Lindelof stated : `` You 'll be hard - pressed to find a huger fan of The Dark Tower than me , but that 's probably the reason that I should n't be the one to adapt it . After working six years on Lost , the last thing I want to do is spend the next seven years adapting one of my favorite books of all time . I 'm such a massive Stephen King fan that I 'm terrified of screwing it up . I 'd do anything to see those movies written by someone else . My guess is they will get made because they 're so incredible . But not by me . '' Finally , in November 2009 , Abrams stated that he would not be adapting the series . During an interview with MTV News , Abrams made the following comments : `` The Dark Tower thing is tricky . The truth is that Damon and I are not looking at that right now . '' Ron Howard ( 2010 -- 2015 ) ( edit ) In April 2010 , five months after Abrams revealed he would no longer pursue his adaptation of The Dark Tower , Universal Pictures was set to produce trilogy of feature films , alternating with two seasons of a television series to bridge gaps between the films . The involved parties included Akiva Goldsman writing the script , Ron Howard directing , and also producing with Brian Grazer and Stephen King . The report was made official by NBC Universal five months later via a press release dated September 8 , 2010 . In an interview with Entertainment Weekly following the announcement , King stated that `` I always thought it would take more than a single movie , but I did n't see this solution coming -- i.e. , several movies and TV series . It was Ron ( Howard ) and Akiva ( Goldsman ) 's idea . Once it was raised , I thought at once it was the solution . '' A month later , the first Dark Tower film was scheduled to open on May 17 , 2013 . In December 2010 , Howard offered the following in regards to the project 's progress : `` It is going well , and it has been incredibly stimulating to work on . I really ca n't stop thinking about it . We 've been meeting and talking and I 've been reading and researching and just kind of living with it . I hope it goes great . I hope it goes the way we think it will . It never does , really . But sometimes it goes better . '' Despite Howard 's enthusiasm , Universal had not yet greenlit the project at that point . By the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 , New York Post was reporting that Javier Bardem and Viggo Mortensen were in line to play the lead character of Roland Deschain , and Naomie Harris was being considered for the character of Susannah Dean . Speaking on The Howard Stern Show in January 2011 and qualifying his words with the phrase `` I do n't know if it 's going to happen or not '' , Howard said that after the first film , which would be more action - oriented , a six - episode television miniseries would follow , focusing more on character - driven drama . For his part , Brian Grazer stated around the same time that a casting announcement could be made `` within a week . '' By April 2011 , Mark Verheiden was joining the television portion of the project as executive producer and Akiva Goldsman 's co-writer . The same month , Javier Bardem was cast in the role of Roland . However , just a month later , a report in Variety revealed that Universal may seek another studio 's help , as the project 's budget appeared to be more than they were willing to handle . The Hollywood Reporter wrote later that the project was on the verge of turnaround , and Warner Bros. or Columbia Pictures could potentially take the project on , revealing that Universal had paid $5 million for the rights . Shortly after that , Universal committed to a lower budget for the project and Goldsman began rewriting the script to reflect these changes . Originally , production was slated to begin in September 2011 , but in May 2011 it was being pushed back to February 2012 or early spring . The project was still not greenlit by the studio , which had to happen by July 2011 . Then on July 18 , 2011 , Universal decided to cancel development of the entire project due to budgetary concerns . Despite this , Stephen King was confident Howard would see the project through , stating that he was `` sorry Universal passed , but not really surprised . I bear them no ill will , and trust Ron Howard to get Roland and his friends before the camera somewhere else . He 's very committed to the project . '' In August 2011 , Howard stated that they were `` trying to get outside financing to make it , and distribute it through a major ( studio ) '' , including the fact that Netflix might be an outlet . Later , in October 2011 , Howard confirmed the adaptation is still on track , noting that HBO would now carry the television portion of the project . By March 2012 , Warner Bros. was expressing interested in taking on the project . Several months later , Goldsman delivered a new script for the first film to Warner Bros. , and the studio had to make a decision in August 2012 whether to go ahead with the project . As well , Russell Crowe was being talked about as the lead character . On August 20 , 2012 , Warner Bros. officially passed . At the same time , Media Rights Capital ( MRC ) was in talks to take over the project from Warner . In January 2014 , Aaron Paul stated that he had a conversation with Howard and was possibly being considered to play Eddie Dean ( earlier , in October 2012 , Paul had tweeted that the role of Eddie Dean was a `` huge dream '' of his ) . Following that , a rumor appeared that Liam Neeson was interested in the part of Roland . Nikolaj Arcel ( 2015 -- 2017 ) ( edit ) On April 10 , 2015 , it was announced that Sony Pictures Entertainment with MRC were fast - tracking the project , now with a completely reworked script by Goldsman and Jeff Pinkner . King appeared optimistic , saying : `` I 'm excited that The Dark Tower is finally going to appear on the screen . '' Howard appeared to be out as director , but would remain in a producing capacity . By June 2 , 2015 , Sony was looking to Nikolaj Arcel to direct . Arcel officially signed on July 10 , 2015 , with him and Anders Thomas Jensen rewriting the script . On August 5 , 2015 , Sony Pictures Entertainment set the film for a release of January 13 , 2017 . By November 2015 , Matthew McConaughey had been offered the role of the Man in Black ( also known as Randall Flagg from The Stand , another role McConaughey had been offered in an upcoming adaptation ) . In January 2016 , it was officially announced that Idris Elba has been cast to play Roland Deschain . By February 18 , 2016 , Abbey Lee had been offered the female lead role of Tirana . On March 1 , 2016 , Entertainment Weekly confirmed the casting of Idris Elba as Roland and Matthew McConaughey as The Man in Black , with shooting set to begin in South Africa in April . On March 5 , Sony announced that the film would move back on the schedule from January 13 to February 17 . By March 10 , 2016 , Tom Taylor had been cast as Jake Chambers . Filming began on April 12 , 2016 . Abbey Lee , Jackie Earle Haley , and Fran Kranz were added to the cast when filming commenced , while Katheryn Winnick and Michael Barbieri joined the film at the end of April 2016 , and Claudia Kim was cast as Arra Champignon in May 2016 . After poor initial test screenings , Sony contemplated replacing Arcel with `` a more experienced filmmaker , '' but instead producers Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman advised Arcel on cleaning up the music and narrative of the film . Production ( edit ) The Dark Tower began filming in South Africa in April 2016 . The film also shot scenes in New York . In October 2016 , the film was screened to test audiences with negative results , with many labeling it confusing and messy . In response , Sony and MRC spent $6 million on reshoots to provide Deschain 's backstory . Release ( edit ) At one point , the film was scheduled to be released on February 17 , 2017 . In November 2016 , the film was pushed back to July 28 , 2017 , after the studio 's Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle was moved from that date . In late March 2017 , the film was pushed back again to August 4 , 2017 , switching places with Sony Pictures Animation 's The Emoji Movie . Promotion ( edit ) An unfinished rough cut of the first trailer leaked online on October 10 , 2016 , but was later taken down almost all over the internet . On May 3 , 2017 , a full length trailer was released . A one - minute television spot titled Connected KINGdom featured Easter eggs of other Stephen King stories through the inter-dimensional setting of the titular location , the Dark Tower . Various references included The Shining ( 1980 ) , Christine ( 1983 ) , Cujo ( 1983 ) , Misery ( 1990 ) , The Shawshank Redemption ( 1994 ) , Carrie , and It . Reception ( edit ) Box office ( edit ) As of September 14 , 2017 , The Dark Tower has grossed $49.1 million in the United States and Canada and $58 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $107.1 million , against a production budget of $60 million . In North America , The Dark Tower was released alongside the opening of Kidnap , as well as the wide expansion of Detroit , and was projected to gross around $20 million from 3,451 theaters in its opening weekend . It made $1.8 million from Thursday previews at 2,770 theaters , with screenings beginning at 7 : 19 p.m. as an ode to the 19 : 19 of Stephen King lore present in the book series , and $7.7 million on its first day . The film went on to debut to $19.5 million , dethroning two - time defender Dunkirk as the top film at the box office , although it was the second lowest gross for a film to finish number one in all of 2017 . In its second weekend the film dropped 58.9 % to $7.9 million , finishing 4th at the box office . Critical response ( edit ) Critics called The Dark Tower `` boring and flavorless '' and `` incomprehensible to newbies and wildly unfaithful and simplistic to fans of King 's books . '' On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 16 % based on 187 reviews , with an average rating of 4 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Go then , there are other Stephen King adaptations than these . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 34 out of 100 , based on 46 critics , indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B '' on an A+ to F scale . TheWrap 's Dan Callahan was critical of the film 's sloppiness and poor editing , saying , `` The 95 - minute culmination of years - long efforts to bring The Dark Tower to the big screen is a complete disaster , a limp , barely coherent shell of a movie . '' Mike Ryan of Uproxx also criticized the incoherent plot , writing , `` I 've been told that The Dark Tower books are jam - packed with dense plot , wonderful characters , and a sprawling mythology -- which is what made the movie so hard to make for all these years . Well , the solution seems to have been to just scrap all that and release a shockingly short 95 - minute movie that just kind of glosses over everything to the point that has any meaning or purpose . '' Eric Vespe of Ai n't It Cool News praised Elba 's performance , but said the actor was let down by the decision to make Roland a supporting character : `` That puts us in a weird position because Elba 's a good Roland in a movie that does n't allow him to actually embody the character in any meaningful way . He 's undercut at every turn . The strongest stuff in the film is when Roland and Jake are bonding , but that relationship is so accelerated that there 's no room for an arc . '' Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club maintained that the film was `` ultimately done in by professionalism ; it 's a movie that does n't seem to love itself , sidestepping its innate strangeness . ( ... ) If you 're making a movie about weaponized psychic kids , Luciferian wizards , and gun - nut knight - cowboys from another dimension , and your only goal is to get from act one to act three as efficiently as possible , what 's the point ? '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone described the film as a `` major misfire '' and an `` unholy mess that should n't happen to a King , much less a paying customer '' . Writing for the Chicago Sun - Times , Richard Roeper panned the film with its criticism on the cinematography , special effects and dialogue , referring it as `` dull '' , `` mediocre '' , and `` stilted '' while calling Matthew McConaughey 's performance as the lead villain `` terrible '' and calling it `` the film 's unfortunate elements '' . Vox 's Aja Romano wrote that the film 's disjointed narrative structure , favouring fast - paced action over exposition and backstory , gave it a `` basic , wondrous glee '' that made it `` feel more like a Stephen King film than any other Stephen King film since Stand By Me '' , and applauded its faithfulness to King 's fictional multiverse , an idea usually discarded by adaptations . Future ( edit ) Television series ( edit ) By September 2016 , a television series was scheduled to be released in 2018 , with Glen Mazzara as showrunner . Elba and Taylor are set to reprise their roles as Roland and Jake respectively . The series has been confirmed to fill in the backstory to the film , being based on King 's The Dark Tower IV : Wizard and Glass , The Dark Tower : The Wind Through the Keyhole and elements of The Dark Tower : The Gunslinger , with a new actor playing young Roland , and Haysbert attached to return as Steven Deschain . Mazzara said that the series will explore `` how Walter became the Man in Black , and how their rivalry cost Roland everything and everyone he ever loved '' , though Mcconaughey 's involvement is not locked in . Sequel ( edit ) In an interview with Collider , King expressed hope for a sequel film in addition to the television series , suggesting that it should be R - rated , have Roland wearing a hat , and include the `` lobstrosities '' from The Dark Tower II : The Drawing of the Three . In an interview with ComingSoon.net , Arcel confirmed that The Drawing of the Three would form the basis for the sequel , and that Eddie and Susannah would appear alongside Elba , McConaughey , Taylor and Haley reprising their roles as Roland , Walter , Jake and Sayre respectively .

With elements of hard rock , psychedelia , and pop , it is one of Cream 's best known and most popular songs . Cream bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce based it on a distinctive bass riff , or repeated musical phrase , he developed after attending a Jimi Hendrix concert . Guitarist Eric Clapton and lyricist Pete Brown later contributed to the song . Recording engineer Tom Dowd suggested the rhythm arrangement in which drummer Ginger Baker plays a distinctive tom - tom drum rhythm , although Baker has claimed it was his idea . The song was included on Cream 's second album Disraeli Gears in November 1967 , which was a best seller . Atco Records , the group 's American label , was initially unsure of the song 's potential . After recommendations by other label - affiliated artists , it released an edited single version in December 1967 . The song became Cream 's first and highest charting American single and one of the most popular singles of 1968 . In September 1968 , it became a modest chart hit after being released in the UK . Cream performed `` Sunshine of Your Love '' regularly in concert and several live recordings have been issued , including on the Royal Albert Hall London May 2 - 3 - 5 - 6 , 2005 reunion album and video . Hendrix performed faster instrumental versions of the song , which he often dedicated to Cream . Several rock journals have placed the song on their greatest song lists , such as Rolling Stone , Q magazine , and VH1 . The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included it on its list of the `` 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll '' .

See media help . In early 1967 , Cream were writing and rehearsing songs for their second album . Their December 1966 debut album , Fresh Cream , was a mix of updated blues numbers and pop - oriented rock songs . Inspired by recent developments in rock music , they began pursuing a more overtly psychedelic direction . `` Sunshine of Your Love '' began as a bass phrase or riff developed by Cream bassist Jack Bruce . Cream attended a concert on 29 January 1967 by the Jimi Hendrix Experience at the Saville Theatre in London . Cream guitarist Eric Clapton elaborated in a 1988 Rolling Stone magazine interview : He ( Hendrix ) played this gig that was blinding . I do n't think Jack ( Bruce ) had really taken him in before ... and when he did see it that night , after the gig he went home and came up with the riff . It was strictly a dedication to Jimi . And then we wrote a song on top of it . Music writers Covach and Boone describe the riff as blues - derived , which uses a minor blues pentatonic scale with an added flattened fifth note ( or common blues scale ) . The song follows a blues chord progression ( I -- IV -- I ) during the first eight bars . Brown had a difficult time writing lyrics that fit the riff . After an all - night session , Bruce played it on a standup bass while lyricist Pete Brown was staring out the window . Slowly , he started to write `` It 's getting near dawn and lights close their tired eyes '' , which is used in the first verse . Later , to break up the rhythm , Clapton wrote a refrain which also yielded the song 's title . It consists of eight - bar sections using three chords , when the key shifts to the V chord ( I = V ) : I ♭ III -- ♭ VII ♭ III -- ♭ VII ♭ III -- ♭ VII A bootleg recording from the Ricky - Tick club in London before Cream recorded the song in the studio , shows `` Sunshine of Your Love '' with a beat common to rock for the period . Cream drummer Ginger Baker compared it to the uptempo `` Hey Now , Princess '' , another Bruce / Brown composition Cream recorded in March . He has said that he advised Bruce to slow it down and came up with the distinctive drum pattern which emphasises beats one and three ( typical rock drumming favours beats two and four and is known as the backbeat ) . However , Bruce and recording engineer Tom Dowd dispute Baker 's claim , which they say he only made much later . Dowd later explained Where all the other songs that they ( Cream ) played were prepared , ( but ) this one song , they never found a pocket , they were never comfortable ... I said , ' You know , have you ever seen any American Westerns ( films that have ) the Indian beat , where the downbeat is the beat ? ' ... And when he ( Ginger ) started playing it that way , all of the parts came together and right away they were elated . Recording ( edit ) Cream performed their first American concerts in New York City in 1967 . Robert Stigwood , the group 's manager , booked them for a Murray the K package show at the RKO Manhattan Theatre from 25 March to 2 April 1967 . When it was finished , Stigwood arranged for a recording session with Ahmet Ertegun at Atlantic Studios . Bruce and Brown had a number of new songs in various stages of development and entered the studio on 3 April . Initially , Ertegun assigned Dowd to work with the trio . Dowd had worked with many of the biggest jazz and rhythm and blues musicians in the 1950s and 1960s . However , Cream was his first exposure to extreme volume levels . The group arrived at Atlantic with their concert setup of multiple Marshall amplifiers ( each 100 watts ) . Dowd was surprised by the amount of equipment accompanying the trio : `` They recorded at ear - shattering level ... Everyone I 'd worked with before was using Fender Deluxes ( about 20 watts ) or Twins ( about 80 watts ) -- six - and seven - piece bands that did n't play as loud as this three piece did . '' Ertegun brought in producer Felix Pappalardi , who he believed could work as a go - between with the group and Dowd . They began with `` Strange Brew '' , `` Tales of Brave Ulysses '' , and `` Sunshine of Your Love '' . Ertegun previewed the demos and was unhappy , expecting more blues - based material that was found on Fresh Cream . Jerry Wexler , Ertegun 's Atlantic Records partner , reportedly went as far as to call it `` psychedelic hogwash '' . However , Booker T. Jones ( producer and keyboardist of Booker T. & the M.G. 's ) and Otis Redding ( both whose Stax recordings at the time were distributed by Atco parent Atlantic ) gave `` Sunshine of Your Love '' their wholehearted approval . Differences were smoothed over by the time Cream returned in May 1967 to finish recording the songs for Disraeli Gears . With Pappalardi and Dowd , work continued on `` Sunshine of Your Love '' . For his guitar solo , Clapton used a sound known as the `` woman tone '' on his 1964 Gibson SG Standard . Author Mitch Gallagher describes it as a `` smooth , dark , singing , sustaining sound '' . It is one of the best - known examples of the woman tone and quotes the melody from the perennial pop standard `` Blue Moon '' . By using the song 's major pentatonic scale , Clapton provides a contrast with the riff 's blues scale . A writer for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes this as `` creating a balance between the sun and the moon '' . Baker plays much of the song on the tom - toms , described as sounding African ( Schumacher ) and Native American ( Shapiro ) . Covach and Boone note he `` concentrates on the lower tom sounds and uses an articulation and sound reminiscent of the jazz drumming in the Woody Herman or Benny Goodman bands '' . Releases and charts ( edit ) `` Sunshine of Your Love '' was included as the second track on Disraeli Gears , which was released in November 1967 by Reaction Records in the UK and Atco Records in the US . At first , Atco did not see the song as a single ( `` Strange Brew '' , backed with `` Tales of Brave Ulysses '' had been released as a single in June 1967 ) . However , in December 1967 , the label issued an edited version of the song as the second single from the album , backed with `` SWLABR '' ( the running time was trimmed from 4 : 08 to 3 : 03 ) . It entered Billboard magazine 's Hot 100 chart on 13 January 1968 , reaching number 36 during its initial 14 - week run . The record re-entered the chart on 6 July 1968 and reached number five on 31 August 1968 . In the UK , the single was not released until September 1968 , after Cream had announced their impending breakup . Polydor Records issued the UK single , which reached number 25 in the charts .

In the US , it became one of the best selling singles of 1968 and one of the best - selling at the time for the Atlantic group of labels . 1968 Year - end Charts Position Canada RPM Top Singles 21 US Billboard Top 10 Singles 6 As one of Cream 's most popular songs , several of the group 's compilation albums include the full - length studio recording , such as Best of Cream , Heavy Cream , The Very Best of Cream , and the boxed set Those Were the Days . Recognition and influence ( edit ) In 2004 , the song ranked number 65 on Rolling Stone magazine 's list of the `` 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' . In March 2005 , Q magazine placed `` Sunshine of Your Love '' at number 19 on its list of the `` 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks Ever ! '' In 2009 , VH1 included it at number 44 on its list of the `` Top 100 Hard Rock Songs '' . The song is on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 's list of the `` 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll '' . Ertegun later admitted that , while his tastes ran more to Robert Johnson ( Clapton had recorded Johnson 's `` Ramblin ' on My Mind '' with John Mayall , `` Crossroads '' with the Powerhouse , and `` Four Until Late '' with Cream ) , Cream 's and Pappalardi 's vision resulted in songs which had a much larger impact on the rock audiences of the time . Covach and Boone have identified `` Sunshine of Your Love '' as foreshadowing future trends in rock : ' Sunshine of Your Love ' , Cream 's best - known song , is a culmination of the British adaptation of blues into rock and also the direct precursor of Led Zeppelin and heavy metal , where this type of blues - based motivic riff and harmonic motions like A -- C -- G or E -- G -- A ( as in `` Whole Lotta Love '' ) serve as the basis for a seemingly endless number of songs . Other recordings ( edit ) Several live recordings of `` Sunshine of Your Love '' have been issued on Cream albums . These include a 24 October 1967 recording by the BBC ( BBC Sessions ) , 9 March 1968 at the Winterland Ballroom ( Live Cream Volume II ) , and 26 November 1968 at the Royal Albert Hall ( Cream 's Farewell Concert ) . A recording from Cream 's reunion show on 3 May 2005 is included on Royal Albert Hall London May 2 - 3 - 5 - 6 , 2005 . During their post-Cream careers , Clapton and Bruce have recorded several live performances of the song . A variety of musicians have recorded `` Sunshine of Your Love '' . After Cream announced their breakup , Hendrix often performed it in concert as a tribute to the group , apparently unaware that they had dedicated the song to him . He played it as an instrumental and sometimes as part of a medley . A performance by the Experience on 4 January 1969 is one of the best - known . During the live broadcast of A Happening for Lulu , a music variety show hosted by pop singer Lulu on BBC Television , the Experience suddenly broke with the programme . Hendrix announced , `` We 'd like to stop playing this rubbish ( '' Hey Joe `` ) and dedicate a song to the Cream , regardless of what kind of group they may be in -- dedicate this to Eric Clapton , Ginger Baker , and Jack Bruce '' . As their performance of `` Sunshine of Your Love '' ran into the time allotted for Lulu 's closing number , the show 's producer and staff were frantically signalling for the Experience to stop . However , they continued playing and the show ended on a fade . Hendrix later apologised to Lulu , who thought the performance made for a great television moment .

The current statehood is the result of the 1909 appanage from Sharjah . Its name could be taken to mean `` headland of the small huts '' , which can be attributed to the indigenous buildings that existed along the coast . The emirate is in the northern part of the UAE , bordering Oman 's exclave of Musandam . It covers an area of 1,684 km ( 650 sq mi ) . The capital city and home of most residents is also called Ras Al Khaimah . The emirate had a population of 210,063 at the 2005 Census , of which 41.82 percent or 87,848 were Emirati citizens . Latest estimates put the total population at between 250,000 and 300,000 . Locals accounted for 97,529 in the population estimate for 2010 . The city has two main sections , Old Ras Al Khaimah and Nakheel , on either side of a creek . It is served by the Ras Al Khaimah International Airport . It consists of a northern part ( where the city of Ras al - Khaimah is situated ) , and a large inland exclave in the south ( near Hatta ) , and a few small islands in the Persian Gulf . Ras al - Khaimah has the most fertile soil in the country , due to a larger share in rainfall and underground water streams from Omani mountains .

Ancient graves were found in the Emirate in October 2012 . The city was historically known as Julfar . According to Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al - Qasimi , current ruler of Sharjah Emirate , the city of Ras al - Khaimah ( which before was the capital of the state that is now Sharjah ) was historically known as Julfar and was founded by Armenians who escaped Persia during the Mongol invasion . Further , archaeological evidence has demonstrated that the settlement known as Julfar shifted location over time as harbour channels silted up . Excavations of a sizable tell , which revealed remnants of a Sassanid era fortification , indicate that early Julfar was located in the north of Ras Al - Khaimah , not far from other sites of historical / archaeological interest such as ' Sheba 's Palace ' and the largest Umm an - Nar tombs found on the Arabian Peninsula . Sources say that Julfar was inhabited by the Azd ( a branch of the Kahlan tribe ) during the eighth and ninth centuries AD , and that the houses of the Azd were built of wood . There is considerable debate locally regarding the 18th - century charge of maritime piracy , attracting the British label ' The Pirate Coast ' to the Eastern Gulf before a series of treaties in 1820 , 1853 and , in 1892 , the Perpetual Maritime Truce led to it being known as the ' Trucial Coast ' . In the early 18th century , the Al Qasimi dynasty established itself in Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah on the Arabian Peninsula , growing to become a significant maritime force with holdings on both the Persian and Arabian coasts . In 1819 , a British naval force was sent from Bombay in order to suppress alleged piracy - actions of the Al Qasimi fleet against British flagged shipping that affected trade routes in the Strait of Hormuz , along the Persian Gulf coast , and the Indian Ocean . In the Battle of Ras Al Khaimah of 1809 , the Al Qasimi fleet was largely destroyed . The British operation continued to Linga on the Persian coast which was , like the Greater and Lesser Tunbs islands , administered by the Al Qasimi . The attack on Ras Al Khaimah resulted in the destruction of the tower of the 16th century Dhayah Fort whose remains can be seen at Rams in northern Ras Al Khaimah . In January 1820 , the British imposed the General Maritime Treaty of 1820 signed by Sheikh Sultan Bin Saqr Al Qasimi who was reinstated by the British in Ras Al Khaimah after the deposition of Hasan Bin Rahma . The treaty stipulated the end of piracy and slavery , and laid the foundation for the British protectorate over the Trucial States that lasted until 1971 . In 1869 , Ras Al Khaimah became fully independent from neighbouring Sharjah . However , from September 1900 to 7 July 1921 , it was re-incorporated into Sharjah ; the last governor became its next independent ruler . On 10 February 1972 , Ras al - Khaimah , under the leadership of Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al - Qasimi , joined the United Arab Emirates .

Five times every day , Muslims are called to prayer from the minarets of mosques which are scattered around the country . Since 2006 , the weekend has been Friday - Saturday , as a compromise between Friday 's holiness to Muslims and the Western weekend of Saturday - Sunday .

Ras al - Khaimah is connected to the other emirates by taxis and buses which embark from the Bus Station located at RAK Transport Authority Headquarters near the new Ras al - Khaimah Police Headquarters and opposite the Cove Rotana hotel . Three dual - carriageways link Ras al - Khaimah with the other emirates and beyond . One follows the coast with beaches on one side and stretches of desert on the other ; the other , a new route , runs out towards the airport in the direction of Khatt , Masafi , Fujairah , Dhaid , and eventually Oman . The Emirates Road ( E311 Highway ) traverses the emirates of Umm Al Quwain , Ajman ( for 60 km ( 37 mi ) of its length ) and Sharjah ( for 71 km ( 44 mi ) of its length ) to finally end up in Dubai ( for 87 km ( 54 mi ) of its length ) . The highway allows journeys from Ras al - Khaimah to Dubai in under 45 minutes . The highway is being extended further till Saqr Port to allow direct flow of traffic from the southern emirates , the extension was scheduled to be completed by 2014 . In spring 2013 work on the 32 - kilometre ( 20 mi ) RAK Ring Road which will bypass the city and connect the quarries and factories of the north coast with the 311 motorway was held up by a three - month rescue excavation after the discovery of megalithic tombs dating to the Wadi Suq period , from 2000 to 1600 BC . Saqr Port , located in the industrial area of Khawr Khuwayr , is the emirate 's main port , providing bulk and container services . It has eight deep - water berths , each 200 m ( 660 ft ) long , is dredged to 12.2 m ( 40 ft ) and has two `` ro - ro '' ramps plus specialised berths for handling bulk cement and aggregate .

Rugby union was played at the Summer Olympics on four occasions , 1900 , 1908 , 1920 and 1924 Although these competitions did not involve full national sides , and usually only had three or four participating nations at any individual event . The International Championship / Five Nations has been played since 1883 . It is one of the oldest international rugby tournaments , involving only European nations . Early attempts ( edit ) There are several stories that depict suggestions of staging a rugby union world cup before the 1980s . One of the earliest known pioneers was Harold Tolhurst , an Australian player who would later become a referee . It has been said that Tolhurst brought up the idea of such a tournament as early as the late 1950s . It has been said that in 1968 , the International Rugby Board made it known that it did not want its unions to be a part of such a competition that resembled a world cup . Similar ideas arose during the last years of the pre-WC era . Bill McLaughlin , who was the president of the Australian Rugby Union in 1979 , suggested the idea of staging a World Cup in 1988 , as the event would coincide with Australia 's bicentenary celebrations . Early 1980s ( edit ) In 1982 , Neil Durden - Smith suggested that the world cup should be held in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s . The IRB discussed the proposal in March 1983 , but the concept did not go ahead . Another meeting was held in June 1983 , where Australia put forth a proposal that would see them host the first event -- if it should happen . New Zealand joined the campaign , putting forth their own proposal in March of the next year . The IRB went on to conduct a feasibility study -- Australia and New Zealand joined forces to bid for the hosting of an inaugural World Cup . The match day programme / poster for the 1987 final between France and the All Blacks . A subsequent IRFB meeting was held in Paris in March 1985 . It is known that originally , all four home nations were opposed to the idea , and the most vocal supporters were Australia , New Zealand and France . It is believed that South Africa 's decision to vote in favour of the event was the turning point in the voting . South Africa voted in favour of the tournament going ahead , though they knew they would not be competing due to the sports boycott at the time . South Africa 's vote saw England , followed by Wales , change to be in favour as well . The first tournament ( edit ) The 1987 Rugby World Cup was hosted by both Australia and New Zealand . 32 matches were played from over a period of 22 May to 20 June . The tournament featured one African nation , three American nations , one Asian nation , seven European nations and four Oceanic nations . One notable omission was the Springboks who were not competing due to the international sports boycott . Seven places were automatically filled by the IRFB members , with invitations being sent out to fill remaining places . In total there were 16 nations in the competition . France played Australia in one of the semi-finals with New Zealand playing Wales in the other . New Zealand became the first ever Rugby World Cup Champions , defeating France 29 points to 9 at Eden Park in Auckland . 1990s ( edit ) Millennium Stadium The 1991 Rugby World Cup was hosted by Great Britain , Ireland and France , with the tournament final to be played at the home of English rugby , Twickenham . For the first time , a qualifying tournament replaced the previously used invitation format . The qualifying tournament involved 32 teams . England qualified for the final by defeating Scotland at Murrayfield , with Australia joining them by defeating New Zealand the day after . Australia won the final , defeating England 12 -- 6 , and became the first nation to win the cup away from home . The 1995 Rugby World Cup was hosted by South Africa , and was the first time that all matches would be played in just a single country . It was the first time that South Africa participated in the tournament following the end of their international sports boycott due to the apartheid regime . South Africa won the tournament , defeating New Zealand 15 -- 12 in the final . Joel Stransky kicked a drop - goal in extra time to grab the victory for South Africa . The All Blacks were mysteriously struck down with food poisoning just days before the final with many All Blacks still affected on the day of the final . Nelson Mandela , wearing a Springbok jersey and matching cap , famously presented the Webb Ellis Cup to South African captain Francois Pienaar . The tournament also saw the emergence of rugby 's first global superstar , All Blacks winger Jonah Lomu . He and Marc Ellis finished the tournament as the top try scorers . The 1999 Rugby World Cup was hosted by Wales with matches played in England , France , Scotland and Ireland . There were further changes to the rules of automatic qualification for this tournament , where only the top three places from 1995 , along with the host nation , automatically qualified . Sixty - five rugby nations participated in qualifying competitions for the 1999 tournament , and the participating nations increased from 16 to 20 . France 's shock 43 -- 31 semifinal win over the All Blacks is regarded as one of the biggest upsets and also one of the best games in the history of the World Cup . Australia defeated France in the final 35 -- 12 . They therefore became the first nation to win the World Cup twice . 2000 -- present ( edit ) England celebrates in London . The 2003 World Cup was hosted by Australia . It was originally to be co-hosted with New Zealand , but disagreements over scheduling and signage at venues led to Australia going it alone . England won the tournament , defeating Australia in the final 20 points to 17 . With 21 seconds left before sudden death England 's Jonny Wilkinson landed a drop goal to win the match . England became the first northern hemisphere nation to win a Rugby World Cup . Upon returning home , the English side was greeted by an estimated 750,000 people at a street parade celebrating their victory . The 2007 World Cup was held in France , with matches also played in Wales and Scotland . The tournament was won by South Africa , who defeated England 15 -- 6 in the final to become World Champions for the second time . Blowouts in scores in pool matches against minnow nations changed into a finals series dominated by defence . This tournament was notable for Argentina becoming the first team from outside the Six Nations and Tri-Nations to reach the semifinals . They ended up coming third in the tournament , which was the first time the top 3 slots were n't dominated by either New Zealand , Australia , England , South Africa , France or Wales . This tournament was the first time that both Australia and New Zealand did not progress past the Quarter Finals . The 2011 tournament was hosted by New Zealand : it saw a repeat of the 1987 World Cup finale standings , as Australia took on Wales in the Bronze final and won 21 - 18 , while New Zealand , by defeating France 8 - 7 in the final , became the first nation to win on home soil twice . This tournament was notable for the fact that France lost twice in the pool stages , to NZ and Tonga , and yet somehow managed to progress all the way to the Final to face off with NZ one more time . This represented the first time any team had played each other twice in a world cup and was also the first time the winner and runner - up of the same pool progressed through to the Finals . The 2015 tournament was hosted by England . The tournament was won by New Zealand , who defeated Australia 34 - 17 to become the first nation to successfully defend their World Champion title and the first nation to win the tournament three times . This was the first time New Zealand had successfully won the cup away from home . This tournament is notable for the Pool of Death that occurred which saw Australia , England and Wales fight to get a place in the Quarter Finals . England became the first Host nation , and top tier rugby nation , to not make it out of the Pools . This also became the first Rugby World Cup to have all Northern Hemisphere competition knocked out in the Quarter Finals , with Argentina , South Africa , Australia and New Zealand progressing through to the Semi-Finals . This world cup will also be remembered for the biggest upset ever when Japan beat South Africa 34 - 23 in the pool stages and came very close to making their first Quarter Finals . The 2019 tournament will be hosted in Japan , with the Yokohoma Stadium holding the final . On November 15 , 2017 France was announced as host of the 2023 Rugby World Cup .

5373697552354982940 | Gothic fiction | Gothic fiction - wikipedia Gothic fiction Jump to : navigation , search `` Gothic literature '' redirects here . It may also refer to texts in the extinct Gothic language . For fiction associated with the goth scene , see Goth subculture § Books and magazines . This article possibly contains original research . Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( July 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Gothic fiction , which is largely known by the subgenre of Gothic horror , is a genre or mode of literature and film that combines fiction and horror , death , and at times romance . Its origin is attributed to English author Horace Walpole , with his 1764 novel The Castle of Otranto , subtitled ( in its second edition ) `` A Gothic Story '' . The effect of Gothic fiction feeds on a pleasing sort of terror , an extension of Romantic literary pleasures that were relatively new at the time of Walpole 's novel . It originated in England in the second half of the 18th century where , following Walpole , it was further developed by Clara Reeve , Ann Radcliffe , William Thomas Beckford and Matthew Lewis . The genre had much success in the 19th century , as witnessed in prose by Mary Shelley 's Frankenstein and the works of Edgar Allan Poe as well as Charles Dickens with his novella , A Christmas Carol , and in poetry in the work of Samuel Taylor Coleridge , Lord Byron and Poe . Another well known novel in this genre , dating from the late Victorian era , is Bram Stoker 's Dracula . The name Gothic refers to the ( pseudo ) - medieval buildings , emulating Gothic architecture , in which many of these stories take place . This extreme form of romanticism was very popular in England and Germany . The English Gothic novel also led to new novel types such as the German Schauerroman and the French Georgia .

The aesthetics of the book have shaped modern - day gothic books , films , art , music and the goth subculture . The novel usually regarded as the first Gothic novel is The Castle of Otranto by English author Horace Walpole , which was first published in 1764 . Walpole 's declared aim was to combine elements of the medieval romance , which he deemed too fanciful , and the modern novel , which he considered to be too confined to strict realism . The basic plot created many other staple Gothic generic traits , including a threatening mystery and an ancestral curse , as well as countless trappings such as hidden passages and oft - fainting heroines . Walpole published the first edition disguised as a medieval romance from Italy discovered and republished by a fictitious translator . When Walpole admitted to his authorship in the second edition , its originally favourable reception by literary reviewers changed into rejection . The reviewers ' rejection reflected a larger cultural bias : the romance was usually held in contempt by the educated as a tawdry and debased kind of writing ; the genre had gained some respectability only through the works of Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding . A romance with superstitious elements , and moreover void of didactical intention , was considered a setback and not acceptable . Walpole 's forgery , together with the blend of history and fiction , contravened the principles of the Enlightenment and associated the Gothic novel with fake documentation . Clara Reeve ( edit ) Clara Reeve , best known for her work The Old English Baron ( 1778 ) , set out to take Walpole 's plot and adapt it to the demands of the time by balancing fantastic elements with 18th - century realism . In her preface , Reeve wrote : `` This Story is the literary offspring of The Castle of Otranto , written upon the same plan , with a design to unite the most attractive and interesting circumstances of the ancient Romance and modern Novel . '' The question now arose whether supernatural events that were not as evidently absurd as Walpole 's would not lead the simpler minds to believe them possible . Ann Radcliffe ( edit ) Ann Radcliffe developed the technique of the explained supernatural in which every seemingly supernatural intrusion is eventually traced back to natural causes . Radcliffe has been called both `` the Great Enchantress '' and `` Mother Radcliffe '' due to her influence on both gothic literature and the female gothic . Radcliffe 's use of visual elements and their effects constitutes an innovative strategy for reading the world through `` linguistic visual patterns '' and developing an `` ethical gaze '' , allowing for readers to visualize the events through words , understand the situations , and feel the terror which the characters themselves are experiencing . Her success attracted many imitators . Among other elements , Ann Radcliffe introduced the brooding figure of the Gothic villain ( A Sicilian Romance in 1790 ) , a literary device that would come to be defined as the Byronic hero . Radcliffe 's novels , above all The Mysteries of Udolpho ( 1794 ) , were best - sellers . However , along with most novels at the time , they were looked down upon by many well - educated people as sensationalist nonsense . Radcliffe also inspired the emerging idea of `` gothic feminism '' , which she expressed through the ideology of ' female power through pretended and staged weakness ' . The establishment of this idea began the movement of the female gothic to be `` challenging ... the concept of gender itself '' . Radcliffe also provided an aesthetic for the genre in an influential article `` On the Supernatural in Poetry '' , examining the distinction and correlation between horror and terror in Gothic fiction , utilizing the uncertainties of terror in her works to produce a model of the uncanny . Combining experiences of terror and wonder with visual description was a technique that pleased readers and set Radcliffe apart from other Gothic writers . Developments in continental Europe and the Monk ( edit ) Romantic literary movements developed in continental Europe concurrent with the development of the Gothic novel . The roman noir ( `` black novel '' ) appeared in France , by such writers as François Guillaume Ducray - Duminil , Baculard d'Arnaud and Madame de Genlis . In Germany , the Schauerroman ( `` shudder novel '' ) gained traction with writers as Friedrich Schiller , with novels like The Ghost - Seer ( 1789 ) , and Christian Heinrich Spiess , with novels like Das Petermännchen ( 1791 / 92 ) . These works were often more horrific and violent than the English Gothic novel . Matthew Lewis ' lurid tale of monastic debauchery , black magic and diabolism entitled The Monk ( 1796 ) offered the first continental novel to follow the conventions of the Gothic novel . Though Lewis 's novel could be read as a pastiche of the emerging genre , self - parody had been a constituent part of the Gothic from the time of the genre 's inception with Walpole 's Otranto . Lewis 's portrayal of depraved monks , sadistic inquisitors and spectral nuns -- and his scurrilous view of the Catholic Church -- appalled some readers , but The Monk was important in the genre 's development . The Monk also influenced Ann Radcliffe in her last novel , The Italian ( 1797 ) . In this book , the hapless protagonists are ensnared in a web of deceit by a malignant monk called Schedoni and eventually dragged before the tribunals of the Inquisition in Rome , leading one contemporary to remark that if Radcliffe wished to transcend the horror of these scenes , she would have to visit hell itself . The Marquis de Sade used a subgothic framework for some of his fiction , notably The Misfortunes of Virtue and Eugenie de Franval , though the Marquis himself never thought of his like this . Sade critiqued the genre in the preface of his Reflections on the novel ( 1800 ) stating that the Gothic is `` the inevitable product of the revolutionary shock with which the whole of Europe resounded '' . Contemporary critics of the genre also noted the correlation between the French revolutionary Terror and the `` terrorist school '' of writing represented by Radcliffe and Lewis . Sade considered The Monk to be superior to the work of Ann Radcliffe . Germany ( edit ) German gothic fiction is usually described by the term Schauerroman ( `` shudder novel '' ) . However , genres of Gespensterroman / Geisterroman ( `` ghost novel '' ) , Räuberroman ( `` robber novel '' ) , and Ritterroman ( `` chivalry novel '' ) also frequently share plot and motifs with the British `` gothic novel '' . As its name suggests , the Räuberroman focuses on the life and deeds of outlaws , influenced by Friedrich von Schiller 's drama The Robbers ( 1781 ) . Heinrich Zschokke 's Abällino , der grosse Bandit ( 1793 ) was translated into English by M.G. Lewis as The Bravo of Venice in 1804 . The Ritterroman focuses on the life and deeds of the knights and soldiers , but features many elements found in the gothic novel , such as magic , secret tribunals , and medieval setting . Benedikte Naubert 's novel Hermann of Unna ( 1788 ) is seen as being very close to the Schauerroman genre . While the term Schauerroman is sometimes equated with the term `` Gothic novel '' , this is only partially true . Both genres are based on the terrifying side of the Middle Ages , and both frequently feature the same elements ( castles , ghost , monster , etc . ) . However , Schauerroman 's key elements are necromancy and secret societies and it is remarkably more pessimistic than the British Gothic novel . All those elements are the basis for Friedrich von Schiller 's unfinished novel The Ghost - Seer ( 1786 -- 1789 ) . The motive of secret societies is also present in the Karl Grosse 's Horrid Mysteries ( 1791 -- 1794 ) and Christian August Vulpius 's Rinaldo Rinaldini , the Robber Captain ( 1797 ) . Other early authors and works included Christian Heinrich Spiess , with his works Das Petermännchen ( 1793 ) , Der alte Überall und Nirgends ( 1792 ) , Die Löwenritter ( 1794 ) , and Hans Heiling , vierter und letzter Regent der Erd - Luft - Feuer - und Wasser - Geister ( 1798 ) ; Heinrich von Kleist 's short story `` Das Bettelweib von Locarno '' ( 1797 ) ; and Ludwig Tieck 's Der blonde Eckbert ( 1797 ) and Der Runenberg ( 1804 ) . Early examples of female - authored Gothic include Sophie Albrecht 's Das höfliche Gespenst ( 1797 ) and Graumännchen oder die Burg Rabenbühl : eine Geistergeschichte altteutschen Ursprungs ( 1799 ) . During the next two decades , the most famous author of Gothic literature in Germany was polymath E.T.A. Hoffmann . His novel The Devil 's Elixirs ( 1815 ) was influenced by Lewis 's novel The Monk , and even mentions it during the book . The novel also explores the motive of doppelgänger , the term coined by another German author ( and supporter of Hoffmann ) , Jean Paul in his humorous novel Siebenkäs ( 1796 -- 1797 ) . He also wrote an opera based on the Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué 's Gothic story Undine , with de la Motte Fouqué himself writing the libretto . Aside from Hoffmann and de la Motte Fouqué , three other important authors from the era were Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff ( The Marble Statue , 1819 ) , Ludwig Achim von Arnim ( Die Majoratsherren , 1819 ) , and Adelbert von Chamisso ( Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte , 1814 ) . After them , Wilhelm Meinhold wrote The Amber Witch ( 1838 ) and Sidonia von Bork ( 1847 ) . Also writing in the German language , Jeremias Gotthelf wrote The Black Spider ( 1842 ) , an allegorical work that used Gothic themes . The last work from German writer Theodor Storm , The Rider on the White Horse ( 1888 ) , also uses Gothic motives and themes . In the beginning of the 20th century , many German authors wrote works influenced by Schauerroman , including Hanns Heinz Ewers . Russian Empire ( edit ) Russian Gothic was not , until recently , viewed as a critical label by Russian critics . If used , the word `` gothic '' was used to describe ( mostly early ) works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky . Most critics simply used the tags such as `` Romanticism '' and `` fantastique '' . Even in relatively new story collection translated as Russian 19th - Century Gothic Tales ( from 1984 ) , the editor used the name Фантастический мир русской романтической повести ( The Fantastic World of Russian Romanticism Short Story / Novella ) . However , since the mid-1980s , Russian gothic fiction was discussed in books like The Gothic - Fantastic in Nineteenth - Century Russian Literature , European Gothic : A Spirited Exchange 1760 -- 1960 , The Russian Gothic novel and its British antecedents and Goticheskiy roman v Rossii ( Gothic Novel in Russia ) . The first Russian author whose work can be described as gothic fiction is considered to be Nikolay Mikhailovich Karamzin . Although many of his works feature gothic elements , the first one which is considered to belong purely in the `` gothic fiction '' label is Ostrov Borngolm ( Island of Bornholm ) from 1793 . The next important early Russian author is Nikolay Ivanovich Gnedich with his novel Don Corrado de Gerrera from 1803 , which is set in Spain during the reign of Philip II . The term `` gothic '' is sometimes also used to describe the ballads of Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky ( particularly `` Ludmila '' ( 1808 ) and `` Svetlana '' ( 1813 ) ) . Also , the following poems are considered to belong in the gothic genre : Meshchevskiy 's `` Lila '' , Katenin 's `` Olga '' , Pushkhin 's `` The Bridegroom '' , Pletnev 's `` The Gravedigger '' and Lermontov 's `` Demon '' . The other authors from the romanticism era include : Antony Pogorelsky ( penname of Alexey Alexeyevich Perovsky ) , Orest Somov , Oleksa Storozhenko , Alexandr Pushkin , Nikolai Alekseevich Polevoy , Mikhail Lermontov ( his work Stuss ) and Alexander Bestuzhev - Marlinsky . Pushkin is particularly important , as his short story `` The Queen of Spades '' ( 1833 ) was adapted into operas and movies by both Russian and foreign artists . Some parts of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov 's `` A Hero of Our Time '' ( 1840 ) are also considered to belong in the gothic genre , but they lack the supernatural elements of the other Russian gothic stories . Viy , lord of the underworld , from the story of the same name by Gogol The key author of the transition from romanticism to realism , Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol , is also one of the most important authors of the romanticism , and has produced a number of works which qualify as gothic fiction . His works include three short story collections , of which each one features a number of stories in the gothic genre , as well as many stories with gothic elements . The collections are : Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka ( 1831 -- 1832 ) with the stories `` St John 's Eve '' and `` A Terrible Vengeance '' ; Arabesques ( 1835 ) , with the story `` The Portrait '' ; and Mirgorod ( 1835 ) , with the story `` Viy '' . The last story is probably the most famous , having inspired at least eight movie adaptations ( two of which are now considered to be lost ) , one animated movie , two documentaries , and a video game . Gogol 's work is very different from western European gothic fiction , as he is influenced by Ukrainian folklore , Cossack lifestyle and , being a very religious man , Orthodox Christianity . Other authors of Gogol 's era included Vladimir Fyodorovich Odoevsky ( The Living Corpse , written 1838 , published 1844 ; The Ghost ; The Sylphide ; and other stories ) , Count Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy ( The Family of the Vourdalak , 1839 , and The Vampire , 1841 ) , Mikhail Zagoskin ( Unexpected Guests ) , Józef Sękowski / Osip Senkovsky ( Antar ) , and Yevgeny Baratynsky ( The Ring ) . After Gogol , the Russian literature saw the rise of the realism , but many authors wrote stories belonging to the gothic fiction territory . Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev , one of the world 's most celebrated realists , wrote Faust ( 1856 ) , Phantoms ( 1864 ) , Song of the Triumphant Love ( 1881 ) , and Clara Milich ( 1883 ) . Another Russian realist classic , Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky , incorporated gothic elements in many of his works , although none of his novels are seen as purely gothic . Grigory Petrovich Danilevsky , who wrote historical and early science fiction novels and stories , wrote Mertvec - ubiytsa ( Dead Murderer ) in 1879 . Also , Grigori Alexandrovich Machtet wrote the story `` Zaklyatiy kazak '' . During the last years of the Russian Empire , in the early 20th century , many authors continued to write in the gothic fiction genre . These include historian and historical fiction writer Alexander Valentinovich Amfiteatrov ; Leonid Nikolaievich Andreyev , who developed psychological characterization ; symbolist Valery Yakovlevich Bryusov ; Alexander Grin ; Anton Pavlovich Chekhov ; and Aleksandr Ivanovich Kuprin . Nobel Prize winner Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin wrote Dry Valley ( 1912 ) , which is considered to be influenced by gothic literature . In her monograph on the subject , Muireann Maguire writes , `` The centrality of the Gothic - fantastic to Russian fiction is almost impossible to exaggerate , and certainly exceptional in the context of world literature . '' Romantics ( edit ) Mary Shelley 's Frankenstein ; or , the Modern Prometheus ( 1818 ) has come to define Gothic fiction in the Romantic period . Frontispiece to 1831 edition shown . Further contributions to the Gothic genre were seen in the work of the Romantic poets . Prominent examples include Samuel Taylor Coleridge 's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Christabel as well as John Keats ' La Belle Dame sans Merci ( 1819 ) and Isabella , or the Pot of Basil ( 1820 ) which feature mysteriously fey ladies . In the latter poem the names of the characters , the dream visions and the macabre physical details are influenced by the novels of premiere Gothicist Ann Radcliffe . Percy Bysshe Shelley 's first published work was the Gothic novel Zastrozzi ( 1810 ) , about an outlaw obsessed with revenge against his father and half - brother . Shelley published a second Gothic novel in 1811 , St. Irvyne ; or , The Rosicrucian , about an alchemist who seeks to impart the secret of immortality . The poetry , romantic adventures , and character of Lord Byron -- characterised by his spurned lover Lady Caroline Lamb as `` mad , bad and dangerous to know '' -- were another inspiration for the Gothic , providing the archetype of the Byronic hero . Byron features , under the codename of `` Lord Ruthven '' , in Lady Caroline 's own Gothic novel : Glenarvon ( 1816 ) . Byron was also the host of the celebrated ghost - story competition involving himself , Percy Bysshe Shelley , Mary Shelley , and John William Polidori at the Villa Diodati on the banks of Lake Geneva in the summer of 1816 . This occasion was productive of both Mary Shelley 's Frankenstein ( 1818 ) and Polidori 's The Vampyre ( 1819 ) . This latter story revives Lamb 's Byronic `` Lord Ruthven '' , but this time as a vampire . The Vampyre has been accounted by cultural critic Christopher Frayling as one of the most influential works of fiction ever written and spawned a craze for vampire fiction and theatre ( and latterly film ) which has not ceased to this day . Mary Shelley 's novel , though clearly influenced by the Gothic tradition , is often considered the first science fiction novel , despite the omission in the novel of any scientific explanation of the monster 's animation and the focus instead on the moral issues and consequences of such a creation . A late example of traditional Gothic is Melmoth the Wanderer ( 1820 ) by Charles Maturin , which combines themes of anti-Catholicism with an outcast Byronic hero . Victorian Gothic ( edit ) Cover of a Varney the Vampire publication ( 1845 ) By the Victorian era , Gothic had ceased to be the dominant genre , and was dismissed by most critics . ( Indeed , the form 's popularity as an established genre had already begun to erode with the success of the historical romance popularised by Sir Walter Scott . ) However , in many ways , it was now entering its most creative phase . Recently readers and critics have begun to reconsider a number of previously overlooked Penny Blood or `` penny dreadful '' serial fictions by such authors as G.W.M. Reynolds who wrote a trilogy of Gothic horror novels : Faust ( 1846 ) , Wagner the Wehr - wolf ( 1847 ) and The Necromancer ( 1857 ) . Reynolds was also responsible for The Mysteries of London which has been accorded an important place in the development of the urban as a particularly Victorian Gothic setting , an area within which interesting links can be made with established readings of the work of Dickens and others . Another famous penny dreadful of this era was the anonymously authored Varney the Vampire ( 1847 ) . Varney is the tale of the vampire Sir Francis Varney , and introduced many of the tropes present in vampire fiction recognizable to modern audiences -- it was the first story to refer to sharpened teeth for a vampire . The formal relationship between these fictions , serialised for predominantly working class audiences , and the roughly contemporaneous sensation fictions serialised in middle class periodicals is also an area worthy of inquiry . Edgar Allan Poe was an important reinterpreter of Gothic fiction . An important and innovative reinterpreter of the Gothic in this period was Edgar Allan Poe . Poe focused less on the traditional elements of gothic stories and more on the psychology of his characters as they often descended into madness . Poe 's critics complained about his `` German '' tales , to which he replied , ' that terror is not of Germany , but of the soul ' . Poe , a critic himself , believed that terror was a legitimate literary subject . His story `` The Fall of the House of Usher '' ( 1839 ) explores these ' terrors of the soul ' while revisiting classic Gothic tropes of aristocratic decay , death , and madness . The legendary villainy of the Spanish Inquisition , previously explored by Gothicists Radcliffe , Lewis , and Maturin , is based on a true account of a survivor in `` The Pit and the Pendulum '' ( 1842 ) . The influence of Ann Radcliffe is also detectable in Poe 's `` The Oval Portrait '' ( 1842 ) , including an honorary mention of her name in the text of the story . The influence of Byronic Romanticism evident in Poe is also apparent in the work of the Brontë sisters . Emily Brontë 's Wuthering Heights ( 1847 ) transports the Gothic to the forbidding Yorkshire Moors and features ghostly apparitions and a Byronic hero in the person of the demonic Heathcliff . The Brontës ' fiction is seen by some feminist critics as prime examples of Female Gothic , exploring woman 's entrapment within domestic space and subjection to patriarchal authority and the transgressive and dangerous attempts to subvert and escape such restriction . Emily 's Cathy and Charlotte Brontë 's Jane Eyre are both examples of female protagonists in such a role . Louisa May Alcott 's Gothic potboiler , A Long Fatal Love Chase ( written in 1866 , but published in 1995 ) is also an interesting specimen of this subgenre . Elizabeth Gaskell 's tales `` The Doom of the Griffiths '' ( 1858 ) `` Lois the Witch '' , and `` The Grey Woman '' all employ one of the most common themes of Gothic fiction , the power of ancestral sins to curse future generations , or the fear that they will . Bram Stoker , author of Dracula The gloomy villain , forbidding mansion , and persecuted heroine of Sheridan Le Fanu 's Uncle Silas ( 1864 ) shows the direct influence of both Walpole 's Otranto and Radcliffe 's Udolpho . Le Fanu 's short story collection In a Glass Darkly ( 1872 ) includes the superlative vampire tale Carmilla , which provided fresh blood for that particular strand of the Gothic and influenced Bram Stoker 's vampire novel Dracula ( 1897 ) . According to literary critic Terry Eagleton , Le Fanu , together with his predecessor Maturin and his successor Stoker , form a subgenre of Irish Gothic , whose stories , featuring castles set in a barren landscape , with a cast of remote aristocrats dominating an atavistic peasantry , represent in allegorical form the political plight of colonial Ireland subjected to the Protestant Ascendancy . The genre was also a heavy influence on more mainstream writers , such as Charles Dickens , who read Gothic novels as a teenager and incorporated their gloomy atmosphere and melodrama into his own works , shifting them to a more modern period and an urban setting , including Oliver Twist ( 1837 -- 8 ) , Bleak House ( 1854 ) ( Mighall 2003 ) and Great Expectations ( 1860 -- 61 ) . These pointed to the juxtaposition of wealthy , ordered and affluent civilisation next to the disorder and barbarity of the poor within the same metropolis . Bleak House in particular is credited with seeing the introduction of urban fog to the novel , which would become a frequent characteristic of urban Gothic literature and film ( Mighall 2007 ) . His most explicitly Gothic work is his last novel , The Mystery of Edwin Drood , which he did not live to complete and which was published in unfinished state upon his death in 1870 . The mood and themes of the Gothic novel held a particular fascination for the Victorians , with their morbid obsession with mourning rituals , mementos , and mortality in general . Robert Louis Stevenson 's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde ( 1886 ) was a classic Gothic work of the 1880s , seeing many stage adaptations . The 1880s saw the revival of the Gothic as a powerful literary form allied to fin de siecle , which fictionalized contemporary fears like ethical degeneration and questioned the social structures of the time . Classic works of this Urban Gothic include Robert Louis Stevenson 's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde ( 1886 ) , Oscar Wilde 's The Picture of Dorian Gray ( 1891 ) , George du Maurier 's Trilby ( 1894 ) , Richard Marsh 's The Beetle : A Mystery ( 1897 ) , Henry James ' The Turn of the Screw ( 1898 ) , and the stories of Arthur Machen . Some of the works of Canadian writer Gilbert Parker also fall into the genre , including the stories in The Lane that Had No Turning ( 1900 ) . The most famous Gothic villain ever , Count Dracula , was created by Bram Stoker in his novel Dracula ( 1897 ) . Stoker 's book also established Transylvania and Eastern Europe as the locus classicus of the Gothic . Gaston Leroux 's serialized novel The Phantom of the Opera ( 1909 -- 1910 ) is another well - known example of gothic fiction from the early 20th century . In America , two notable writers of the end of the 19th century , in the Gothic tradition , were Ambrose Bierce and Robert W. Chambers . Bierce 's short stories were in the horrific and pessimistic tradition of Poe . Chambers , though , indulged in the decadent style of Wilde and Machen , even to the extent of his inclusion of a character named ' Wilde ' in his The King in Yellow . Precursors ( edit ) The conventions of Gothic literature did not spring from nowhere into the mind of Horace Walpole . The components that would eventually combine into Gothic literature had a rich history by the time Walpole perpetrated his literary hoax in 1764 . Mysterious imagination ( edit ) Gothic literature is often described with words such as `` wonder '' and `` terror . '' This sense of wonder and terror , which provides the suspension of disbelief so important to the Gothic -- which , except for when it is parodied , even for all its occasional melodrama , is typically played straight , in a self - serious manner -- requires the imagination of the reader to be willing to accept the idea that there might be something `` beyond that which is immediately in front of us . '' The mysterious imagination necessary for Gothic literature to have gained any traction had been growing for some time before the advent of the Gothic . The necessity for this came as the known world was beginning to become more explored , reducing the inherent geographical mysteries of the world . The edges of the map were being filled in , and no one was finding any dragons . The human mind required a replacement . Clive Bloom theorizes that this void in the collective imagination was critical in the development of the cultural possibility for the rise of the Gothic tradition . Medievalism ( edit ) The setting of most early Gothic works was a medieval one , but this had been a common theme long before Walpole . In Britain especially , there was a desire to reclaim a shared past . This obsession frequently led to extravagant architectural displays , and sometimes mock tournaments were held . It was not merely in literature that a medieval revival made itself felt , and this too contributed to a culture ready to accept a perceived medieval work in 1764 . Macabre and morbid ( edit ) The Gothic often uses scenery of decay , death , and morbidity to achieve its effects ( especially in the Italian Horror school of Gothic ) . However , Gothic literature was not the origin of this tradition ; indeed it was far older . The corpses , skeletons , and churchyards so commonly associated with the early Gothic were popularized by the Graveyard Poets , and were also present in novels such as Daniel Defoe 's Journal of the Plague Year , which contains comical scenes of plague carts and piles of plague corpses . Even earlier , poets like Edmund Spenser evoked a dreary and sorrowful mood in such poems as Epithalamion . Emotional aesthetic ( edit ) All of the aspects of pre-Gothic literature mentioned above occur to some degree in the Gothic , but even taken together , they still fall short of true Gothic . What was lacking was an aesthetic , which would serve to tie the elements together . Bloom notes that this aesthetic must take the form of a theoretical or philosophical core , which is necessary to `` sav ( e ) the best tales from becoming mere anecdote or incoherent sensationalism . '' In this particular case , the aesthetic needed to be an emotional one , which was finally provided by Edmund Burke 's 1757 work , A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and the Beautiful , which `` finally codif ( ied ) the gothic emotional experience . '' Specifically , Burke 's thoughts on the Sublime , Terror , and Obscurity were most applicable . These sections can be summarized thus : the Sublime is that which is or produces the `` strongest emotion which the mind is capable of feeling , '' ; the Sublime is most often evoked by Terror ; and to cause Terror we need some amount of Obscurity -- we ca n't know everything about that which is inducing Terror -- or else `` a great deal of the apprehension vanishes '' ; Obscurity is necessary in order to experience the Terror of the unknown . Bloom asserts that Burke 's descriptive vocabulary was essential to the Romantic works that eventually informed the Gothic . Political influences ( edit ) The birth of the Gothic was also probably influenced by political upheaval beginning with the English Civil War and culminating in a Jacobite rebellion ( 1745 ) more recent to the first Gothic novel ( 1764 ) . A collective political memory and any deep cultural fears associated with it likely contributed to early Gothic villain characters as literary representatives of defeated Tory barons or Royalists `` rising '' from their political graves in the pages of the early Gothic to terrorize the bourgeois reader of late eighteenth - century England . Parody ( edit ) The excesses , stereotypes , and frequent absurdities of the traditional Gothic made it rich territory for satire . The most famous parody of the Gothic is Jane Austen 's novel Northanger Abbey ( 1818 ) in which the naive protagonist , after reading too much Gothic fiction , conceives herself a heroine of a Radcliffian romance and imagines murder and villainy on every side , though the truth turns out to be much more prosaic . Jane Austen 's novel is valuable for including a list of early Gothic works since known as the Northanger Horrid Novels . These books , with their lurid titles , were once thought to be the creations of Jane Austen 's imagination , though later research by Michael Sadleir and Montague Summers confirmed that they did actually exist and stimulated renewed interest in the Gothic . They are currently all being reprinted . Another example of Gothic parody in a similar vein is The Heroine by Eaton Stannard Barrett ( 1813 ) . Cherry Wilkinson , a fatuous female protagonist with a history of novel - reading , fancies herself as the heroine of a Gothic romance . She perceives and models reality according to the stereotypes and typical plot structures of the Gothic novel , leading to a series of absurd events culminating in catastrophe . After her downfall , her affectations and excessive imaginations become eventually subdued by the voice of reason in the form of Stuart , a paternal figure , under whose guidance the protagonist receives a sound education and correction of her misguided taste . Post-victorian legacy ( edit ) Pulp ( edit ) Pulp magazines such as Weird Tales reprinted and popularized Gothic horror from the prior century . See also : Pulp magazine Notable English 20th - century writers in the Gothic tradition include Algernon Blackwood , William Hope Hodgson , M.R. James , Hugh Walpole , and Marjorie Bowen . In America pulp magazines such as Weird Tales reprinted classic Gothic horror tales from the previous century , by such authors as Poe , Arthur Conan Doyle , and Edward Bulwer - Lytton and printed new stories by modern authors featuring both traditional and new horrors . The most significant of these was H.P. Lovecraft who also wrote a conspectus of the Gothic and supernatural horror tradition in his Supernatural Horror in Literature ( 1936 ) as well as developing a Mythos that would influence Gothic and contemporary horror well into the 21st century . Lovecraft 's protégé , Robert Bloch , contributed to Weird Tales and penned Psycho ( 1959 ) , which drew on the classic interests of the genre . From these , the Gothic genre per se gave way to modern horror fiction , regarded by some literary critics as a branch of the Gothic although others use the term to cover the entire genre . New Gothic romances ( edit ) Gothic Romances of this description became popular during the 1950s , 1960s , and 1970s , with authors such as Phyllis A. Whitney , Joan Aiken , Dorothy Eden , Victoria Holt , Barbara Michaels , Mary Stewart , and Jill Tattersall . Many featured covers depicting a terror - stricken woman in diaphanous attire in front of a gloomy castle , often with a single lit window . Many were published under the Paperback Library Gothic imprint and were marketed to a female audience . Though the authors were mostly women , some men wrote Gothic romances under female pseudonyms . For instance the prolific Clarissa Ross and Marilyn Ross were pseudonyms for the male writer Dan Ross , and Frank Belknap Long published Gothics under his wife 's name , Lyda Belknap Long . Another example is British writer Peter O'Donnell , who wrote under the pseudonym Madeleine Brent . Outside of companies like Lovespell , who carry Colleen Shannon , very few books seem to be published using the term today . Southern Gothic ( edit ) Main article : Southern Gothic The genre also influenced American writing to create the Southern Gothic genre , which combines some Gothic sensibilities ( such as the grotesque ) with the setting and style of the Southern United States . Examples include William Faulkner , Eudora Welty , Truman Capote , Flannery O'Connor , Davis Grubb , Anne Rice and Harper Lee . Other contemporary Gothic ( edit ) Contemporary American writers in this tradition include Joyce Carol Oates , in such novels as Bellefleur and A Bloodsmoor Romance and short story collections such as Night - Side ( Skarda 1986b ) and Raymond Kennedy in his novel Lulu Incognito . The Southern Ontario Gothic applies a similar sensibility to a Canadian cultural context . Robertson Davies , Alice Munro , Barbara Gowdy , Timothy Findley and Margaret Atwood have all produced works that are notable exemplars of this form . Another writer in this tradition was Henry Farrell , whose best - known work was the 1960 Hollywood horror novel What Ever Happened To Baby Jane ? Farrell 's novels spawned a subgenre of `` Grande Dame Guignol '' in the cinema , represented by such films as the 1962 film based on Farrell 's novel , which starred Bette Davis versus Joan Crawford ; this subgenre of films was dubbed the `` psycho - biddy '' genre . Modern horror ( edit ) Many modern writers of horror ( or indeed other types of fiction ) exhibit considerable Gothic sensibilities -- examples include the works of Anne Rice , Stella Coulson , Susan Hill , Poppy Z . Brite and Neil Gaiman as well as some of the sensationalist works of Stephen King Thomas M. Disch 's novel The Priest ( 1994 ) was subtitled A Gothic Romance , and was partly modelled on Matthew Lewis ' The Monk . Many of these writers , such as Poppy Z . Brite , Stephen King and particularly Clive Barker have focused on the surface of the body and the visuality of blood . The Romantic strand of Gothic was taken up in Daphne du Maurier 's Rebecca ( 1938 ) which is considered by some to be influenced by Charlotte Brontë 's Jane Eyre . Other books by du Maurier , such as Jamaica Inn ( 1936 ) , also display Gothic tendencies . Du Maurier 's work inspired a substantial body of `` female Gothics '' , concerning heroines alternately swooning over or being terrified by scowling Byronic men in possession of acres of prime real estate and the appertaining droit du seigneur . For modern horror associated with the goth scene , see Goth subculture § Books and magazines . In education ( edit ) Educators in literary , cultural , and architectural studies appreciate the Gothic as an area that facilitates the investigation of the beginnings of scientific certainty . As Carol Senf has stated , `` the Gothic was ( ... ) a counterbalance produced by writers and thinkers who felt limited by such a confident worldview and recognized that the power of the past , the irrational , and the violent continue to hold sway in the world . '' As such , the Gothic helps students better understand their own doubts about the self - assurance of today 's scientists . Scotland is the location of what was probably the world _́ s first postgraduate program to exclusively consider the genre : the MLitt in the Gothic Imagination at the University of Stirling , which first recruited in 1996 . Other media ( edit ) The themes of the literary Gothic have been translated into other media . The early 1970s saw a Gothic Romance comic book mini-trend with such titles as DC Comics ' The Dark Mansion Of Forbidden Love and The Sinister House of Secret Love , Charlton Comics ' Haunted Love , Curtis Magazines ' Gothic Tales of Love , and Atlas / Seaboard Comics ' one - shot magazine Gothic Romances . There was a notable revival in 20th - century Gothic horror films such the classic Universal monsters films of the 1930s , Hammer Horror films , and Roger Corman 's Poe cycle . In Hindi cinema , the Gothic tradition was combined with aspects of Indian culture , particularly reincarnation , to give rise to an `` Indian Gothic '' genre , beginning with the films Mahal ( 1949 ) and Madhumati ( 1958 ) . Modern Gothic horror films include Sleepy Hollow , Interview with the Vampire , Underworld , The Wolfman , From Hell , Dorian Gray , Let The Right One In , The Woman in Black , and Crimson Peak . The 1960s Gothic television series Dark Shadows borrowed liberally from the Gothic tradition and featured elements such as haunted mansions , vampires , witches , doomed romances , werewolves , obsession , and madness . The Showtime TV series Penny Dreadful brings many classic gothic characters together in a psychological thriller that takes place in the dark corners of Victorian London ( 2014 debut ) . 20th - century rock music also had its Gothic side . Black Sabbath 's 1969 debut album created a dark sound different from other bands at the time and has been called the first ever `` Goth - rock '' record . Themes from Gothic writers such as H.P. Lovecraft were also used among gothic rock and heavy metal bands , especially in black metal , thrash metal ( Metallica 's The Call of Ktulu ) , death metal , and gothic metal . For example , heavy metal musician King Diamond delights in telling stories full of horror , theatricality , satanism and anti-Catholicism in his compositions . Various video games feature Gothic horror themes and plots . For example , the Castlevania series typically involves a hero of the Belmont lineage exploring a dark , old castle , fighting vampires , werewolves , Frankenstein 's monster , and other Gothic monster staples , culminating in a battle against Dracula himself . Others , such as Ghosts'n Goblins feature a campier parody of Gothic fiction . In role - playing games , the pioneering 1983 Dungeons & Dragons adventure Ravenloft instructs the players to defeat the vampire Strahd von Zarovich , who pines for his dead lover . It has been acclaimed as one of the best role - playing adventures of all time , and even inspired an entire fictional world of the same name . `` World of Darkness '' is another rpg set in the real world , with the added element of the existence of a multitude of supernatural creatures such as the Werewolf , Vampire , and others . It contains sub-games , allowing you to play as a human , or as one of the inhuman creatures in the setting . Elements of Gothic fiction ( edit ) Virginal maiden -- young , beautiful , pure , innocent , kind , virtuous and sensitive . Usually starts out with a mysterious past and it is later revealed that she is the daughter of an aristocratic or noble family . Matilda in The Castle of Otranto -- She is determined to give up Theodore , the love of her life , for her cousin 's sake . Matilda always puts others first before herself , and always believes the best in others . Adeline in The Romance of the Forest -- `` Her wicked Marquis , having secretly immured Number One ( his first wife ) , has now a new and beautiful wife , whose character , alas ! Does not bear inspection . '' As this review states , the virginal maiden character is above inspection because her personality is flawless . Hers is a virtuous character whose piety and unflinching optimism cause all to fall in love with her . Older , foolish woman Hippolita in The Castle of Otranto -- Hippolita is depicted as the obedient wife of her tyrant husband who `` would not only acquiesce with patience to divorce , but would obey , if it was his pleasure , in endeavouring to persuade Isabelle to give him her hand '' . This shows how weak women are portrayed as they are completely submissive , and in Hippolita 's case , even support polygamy at the expense of her own marriage . Madame LaMotte in The Romance of the Forest -- naively assumes that her husband is having an affair with Adeline . Instead of addressing the situation directly , she foolishly lets her ignorance turn into pettiness and mistreatment of Adeline . Hero Theodore in The Castle of Otranto -- he is witty , and successfully challenges the tyrant , saves the virginal maid without expectations Theodore in The Romance of the Forest -- saves Adeline multiple times , is virtuous , courageous and brave , self - sacrificial Tyrant / villain Manfred in The Castle of Otranto -- unjustly accuses Theodore of murdering Conrad . Tries to put his blame onto others . Lies about his motives for attempting to divorce his wife and marry his late son 's fiancé . The Marquis in The Romance of the Forest -- attempts to get with Adeline even though he is already married , attempts to rape Adeline , blackmails Monsieur LaMotte . Vathek -- Ninth Caliph of the Abassides , who ascended to the throne at an early age . His figure was pleasing and majestic , but when angry , his eyes became so terrible that `` the wretch on whom it was fixed instantly fell backwards and sometimes expired '' . He was addicted to women and pleasures of the flesh , so he ordered five palaces to be built : the five palaces of the senses . Although he was an eccentric man , learned in the ways of science , physics , and astrology , he loved his people . His main greed , however , was thirst for knowledge . He wanted to know everything . This is what led him on the road to damnation . '' Bandits / ruffians They appear in several Gothic novels including The Romance of the Forest in which they kidnap Adeline from her father . Clergy -- always weak , usually evil Father Jerome in The Castle of Otranto -- Jerome , though not evil , is certainly weak as he gives up his son when he is born and leaves his lover . Ambrosio in The Monk -- Evil and weak , this character stoops to the lowest levels of corruption including rape and incest . Mother Superior in The Romance of the Forest -- Adeline fled from this convent because the sisters were n't allowed to see sunlight . Highly oppressive environment . The setting The plot is usually set in a castle , an abbey , a monastery , or some other , usually religious edifice , and it is acknowledged that this building has secrets of its own . This gloomy and frightening scenery sets the scene for what the audience has already come to expect . The importance of setting is noted in a London review of the Castle of Otranto , `` He describes the country towards Otranto as desolate and bare , extensive downs covered with thyme , with occasionally the dwarf holly , the rosa marina , and lavender , stretch around like wild moorlands ( ... ) Mr. Williams describes the celebrated Castle of Otranto as ' an imposing object of considerable size ( ... ) has a dignified and chivalric air ' ( ... ) A fitter scene for his romance he probably could not have chosen . '' Similarly , De Vore states , `` The setting is greatly influential in Gothic novels . It not only evokes the atmosphere of horror and dread , but also portrays the deterioration of its world . The decaying , ruined scenery implies that at one time there was a thriving world . At one time the abbey , castle , or landscape was something treasured and appreciated . Now , all that lasts is the decaying shell of a once thriving dwelling . '' Thus , without the decrepit backdrop to initiate the events , the Gothic novel would not exist . Elements found especially in American Gothic fiction include : Night journeys are a common element seen throughout Gothic literature . They can occur in almost any setting , but in American literature are more commonly seen in the wilderness , forest or any other area that is devoid of people . Evil characters are also seen in Gothic literature and especially American Gothic . Depending on either the setting or the period from which the work came , the evil characters could be Native Americans , trappers , gold miners etc . American Gothic novels also tend to deal with a `` madness '' in one or more of the characters and carry that theme throughout the novel . In his novel Edgar Huntly or Memoirs of a Sleepwalker , Charles Brockden Brown writes about two characters who slowly become more and more deranged as the novel progresses . Miraculous survivals are elements within American Gothic literature in which a character or characters will somehow manage to survive some feat that should have led to their demise . In American Gothic novels it is also typical that one or more of the characters will have some sort of supernatural powers . In Brown 's Edgar Huntly or Memoirs of a Sleepwalker , the main character , Huntly , is able to face and kill not one , but two panthers . An element of fear is another characteristic of American Gothic literature . This is typically connected to the unknown and is generally seen throughout the course of the entire novel . This can also be connected to the feeling of despair that characters within the novel are overcome by . This element can lead characters to commit heinous crimes . In the case of Brown 's character Edgar Huntly , he experiences this element when he contemplates eating himself , eats an uncooked panther , and drinks his own sweat . The element of fear in female gothic is commonly portrayed through terror and supernatural fears , while the male gothic uses horror and physical fear and gore to create feelings of fear in the reader . Psychological overlay is an element that is connected to how characters within an American Gothic novel are affected by things like the night and their surroundings . An example of this would be if a character was in a maze - like area and a connection was made to the maze that their minds represented . Role of architecture and setting in the Gothic novel ( edit ) Strawberry Hill , an English villa in the `` Gothic revival '' style , built by Gothic writer Horace Walpole Gothic literature is intimately associated with the Gothic Revival architecture of the same era . In a way similar to the Gothic revivalists ' rejection of the clarity and rationalism of the neoclassical style of the Enlightened Establishment , the literary Gothic embodies an appreciation of the joys of extreme emotion , the thrills of fearfulness and awe inherent in the sublime , and a quest for atmosphere . The ruins of Gothic buildings gave rise to multiple linked emotions by representing the inevitable decay and collapse of human creations -- thus the urge to add fake ruins as eyecatchers in English landscape parks . English Gothic writers often associated medieval buildings with what they saw as a dark and terrifying period , characterized by harsh laws enforced by torture , and with mysterious , fantastic , and superstitious rituals . In literature such Anti-Catholicism had a European dimension featuring Roman Catholic institutions such as the Inquisition ( in southern European countries such as Italy and Spain ) . Just as elements of Gothic architecture were borrowed during the Gothic Revival period in architecture , ideas about the Gothic period and Gothic period architecture were often used by Gothic novelists . Architecture itself played a role in the naming of Gothic novels , with many titles referring to castles or other common Gothic buildings . This naming was followed up with many Gothic novels often set in Gothic buildings , with the action taking place in castles , abbeys , convents and monasteries , many of them in ruins , evoking `` feelings of fear , surprise , confinement '' . This setting of the novel , a castle or religious building , often one fallen into disrepair , was an essential element of the Gothic novel . Placing a story in a Gothic building served several purposes . It drew on feelings of awe , it implied the story was set in the past , it gave an impression of isolation or being cut off from the rest of the world and it drew on the religious associations of the Gothic style . This trend of using Gothic architecture began with The Castle of Otranto and was to become a major element of the genre from that point forward . Besides using Gothic architecture as a setting , with the aim of eliciting certain associations from the reader , there was an equally close association between the use of setting and the storylines of Gothic novels , with the architecture often serving as a mirror for the characters and the plot lines of the story . The buildings in the Castle of Otranto , for example , are riddled with underground tunnels , which the characters use to move back and forth in secret . This secret movement mirrors one of the plots of the story , specifically the secrets surrounding Manfred 's possession of the castle and how it came into his family . The setting of the novel in a Gothic castle was meant to imply not only a story set in the past but one shrouded in darkness . In William Thomas Beckford 's The History of the Caliph Vathek , architecture was used to both illustrate certain elements of Vathek 's character and also warn about the dangers of over-reaching . Vathek 's hedonism and devotion to the pursuit of pleasure are reflected in the pleasure wings he adds on to his castle , each with the express purpose of satisfying a different sense . He also builds a tall tower in order to further his quest for knowledge . This tower represents Vathek 's pride and his desire for a power that is beyond the reach of humans . He is later warned that he must destroy the tower and return to Islam or else risk dire consequences . Vathek 's pride wins out and , in the end , his quest for power and knowledge ends with him confined to Hell . In the Castle of Wolfenbach the castle that Matilda seeks refuge at while on the run is believed to be haunted . Matilda discovers it is not ghosts but the Countess of Wolfenbach who lives on the upper floors and who has been forced into hiding by her husband , the Count . Matilda 's discovery of the Countess and her subsequent informing others of the Countess 's presence destroys the Count 's secret . Shortly after Matilda meets the Countess the Castle of Wolfenbach itself is destroyed in a fire , mirroring the destruction of the Count 's attempts to keep his wife a secret and how his plots throughout the story eventually lead to his own destruction . The picturesque and evocative ruin is a common theme in Gothic literature . This image shows the ruins of Kenilworth Castle . The major part of the action in the Romance of the Forest is set in an abandoned and ruined abbey and the building itself served as a moral lesson , as well as a major setting for and mirror of the action in the novel . The setting of the action in a ruined abbey , drawing on Burke 's aesthetic theory of the sublime and the beautiful established the location as a place of terror and of safety . Burke argued the sublime was a source of awe or fear brought about by strong emotions such as terror or mental pain . On the other end of the spectrum was the beautiful , which were those things that brought pleasure and safety . Burke argued that the sublime was the more preferred to the two . Related to the concepts of the sublime and the beautiful is the idea of the picturesque , introduced by William Gilpin , which was thought to exist between the two other extremes . The picturesque was that which continued elements of both the sublime and the beautiful and can be thought of as a natural or uncultivated beauty , such as a beautiful ruin or a partially overgrown building . In Romance of the Forest Adeline and the La Mottes live in constant fear of discovery by either the police or Adeline 's father and , at times , certain characters believe the castle to be haunted . On the other hand , the abbey also serves as a comfort , as it provides shelter and safety to the characters . Finally , it is picturesque , in that it was a ruin and serves as a combination of both the natural and the human . By setting the story in the ruined abbey , Radcliffe was able to use architecture to draw on the aesthetic theories of the time and set the tone of the story in the minds of the reader . As with many of the buildings in Gothic novels , the abbey also has a series of tunnels . These tunnels serve as both a hiding place for the characters and as a place of secrets . This was mirrored later in the novel with Adeline hiding from the Marquis de Montalt and the secrets of the Marquis , which would eventually lead to his downfall and Adeline 's salvation . Architecture served as an additional character in many Gothic novels , bringing with it associations to the past and to secrets and , in many cases , moving the action along and foretelling future events in the story . Female Gothic and the supernatural explained ( edit ) Characterized by its castles , dungeons , gloomy forests and hidden passages , from the Gothic novel genre emerged the Female Gothic . Guided by the works of authors such as Ann Radcliffe , Mary Shelley and Charlotte Brontë , the Female Gothic permitted the introduction of feminine societal and sexual desires into Gothic texts . Female gothic differs from the male gothic through differences in narrative technique , plot , assumptions of the supernatural , and the use of terror and horror . Female Gothic narratives focus on topics of the persecuted heroine in flight from a villainous father and in search of an absent mother , while male writers tended towards a plot of masculine transgression of social taboos . The emergence of the ghost story gave female writers something to write about besides the common marriage plot , allowing them to offer a more radical critique of male power , violence and predatory sexuality . It has been said that medieval society , on which some Gothic texts are based , granted women writers the opportunity to attribute `` features of the mode ( of Gothicism ) as the result of the suppression of female sexuality , or else as a challenge to the gender hierarchy and values of a male - dominated culture '' . Significantly , with the development of the Female Gothic came the literary technique of explaining the supernatural . The Supernatural Explained -- as this technique was aptly named -- is a recurring plot device in Radcliffe 's The Romance of the Forest . The novel , published in 1791 , is among Radcliffe 's earlier works . The novel sets up suspense for horrific events , which all have natural explanations . However , the omission of any possible explanation based in reality is what instills a feeling of anxiety and terror in both character and reader . An 18th - century response to the novel from the Monthly Review reads : `` We must hear no more of enchanted forests and castles , giants , dragons , walls of fire and other ' monstrous and prodigious things ; ' -- yet still forests and castles remain , and it is still within the province of fiction , without overstepping the limits of nature , to make use of them for the purpose of creating surprise . '' Radcliffe 's use of Supernatural Explained is characteristic of the Gothic author . The female protagonists pursued in these texts are often caught in an unfamiliar and terrifying landscape , delivering higher degrees of terror . The end result , however , is the explained supernatural , rather than terrors familiar to women such as rape or incest , or the expected ghosts or haunted castles . The female gothic also discusses women 's dissatisfactions with patriarchal society , addressing the problematic and dissatisfying maternal position and role within that society . Women 's fears of entrapment within such elements as the domestic , the female body , marriage , childbirth , and domestic abuse are commonly portrayed through the female gothic . The female gothic formula is said to be `` a plot that resists an unhappy or ambiguous closure and explains the supernatural '' . In Radcliffe 's The Romance of the Forest , one may follow the female protagonist , Adeline , through the forest , hidden passages and abbey dungeons , `` without exclaiming , ' How these antique towers and vacant courts / chill the suspended soul , till expectation wears the cast of fear ! '' The decision of Female Gothic writers to supplement true supernatural horrors with explained cause and effect transforms romantic plots and Gothic tales into common life and writing . Rather than establish the romantic plot in impossible events Radcliffe strays away from writing `` merely fables , which no stretch of fancy could realize . '' English scholar Chloe Chard 's published introduction to The Romance of the Forest refers to the `` promised effect of terror '' . The outcome , however , `` may prove less horrific than the novel has originally suggested '' . Radcliffe sets up suspense throughout the course of the novel , insinuating a supernatural or superstitious cause to the mysterious and horrific occurrences of the plot . However , the suspense is relieved with the Supernatural Explained . For example , Adeline is reading the illegible manuscripts she found in her bedchamber 's secret passage in the abbey when she hears a chilling noise from beyond her doorway . She goes to sleep unsettled , only to awake and learn that what she assumed to be haunting spirits were actually the domestic voices of the servant , Peter . La Motte , her caretaker in the abbey , recognizes the heights to which her imagination reached after reading the autobiographical manuscripts of a past murdered man in the abbey . `` ' I do not wonder , that after you had suffered its terrors to impress your imagination , you fancied you saw specters , and heard wondrous noises . ' La Motte said . ' God bless you ! Ma'amselle , ' said Peter . ' I 'm sorry I frightened you so last night . ' ' Frightened me , ' said Adeline ; ' how was you concerned in that ? ' He then informed her , that when he thought Monsieur and Madame La Motte were asleep , he had stolen to her chamber door ( ... ) that he had called several times as loudly as he dared , but receiving no answer , he believed she was asleep ( ... ) This account of the voice she had heard relieved Adeline 's spirits ; she was even surprised she did not know it , till remembering the perturbation of her mind for some time preceding , this surprise disappeared . '' While Adeline is alone in her characteristically Gothic chamber , she detects something supernatural , or mysterious about the setting . However , the `` actual sounds that she hears are accounted for by the efforts of the faithful servant to communicate with her , there is still a hint of supernatural in her dream , inspired , it would be seem , by the fact that she is on the spot of her father 's murder and that his unburied skeleton is concealed in the room next hers '' . The supernatural here is indefinitely explained , but what remains is the `` tendency in the human mind to reach out beyond the tangible and the visible ; and it is in depicting this mood of vague and half - defined emotion that Mrs. Radcliffe excels '' . Transmuting the Gothic novel into a comprehensible tale for the imaginative 18th - century woman was useful for the Female Gothic writers of the time . Novels were an experience for these women who had no outlet for a thrilling excursion . Sexual encounters and superstitious fantasies were idle elements of the imagination . However , the use of Female Gothic and Supernatural Explained , are a `` good example of how the formula ( Gothic novel ) changes to suit the interests and needs of its current readers '' . In many respects , the novel 's `` current reader '' of the time was the woman who , even as she enjoyed such novels , would feel that she had to `` ( lay ) down her book with affected indifference , or momentary shame , '' according to Jane Austen , author of Northanger Abbey . The Gothic novel shaped its form for female readers to `` turn to Gothic romances to find support for their own mixed feelings '' . Following the characteristic Gothic Bildungsroman - like plot sequence , the Female Gothic allowed its readers to graduate from `` adolescence to maturity , '' in the face of the realized impossibilities of the supernatural . As female protagonists in novels like Adeline in The Romance of the Forest learn that their superstitious fantasies and terrors are replaced with natural cause and reasonable doubt , the reader may understand the true position of the heroine in the novel : `` The heroine possesses the romantic temperament that perceives strangeness where others see none . Her sensibility , therefore , prevents her from knowing that her true plight is her condition , the disability of being female . '' Another text in which the heroine of the Gothic novel encounters the Supernatural Explained is The Castle of Wolfenbach ( 1793 ) by Gothic author Eliza Parsons . This Female Gothic text by Parsons is listed as one of Catherine Morland 's Gothic texts in Austen 's Northanger Abbey . The heroine in The Castle of Wolfenbach , Matilda , seeks refuge after overhearing a conversation in which her Uncle Weimar speaks of plans to rape her . Matilda finds asylum in the Castle of Wolfenbach : a castle inhabited by old married caretakers who claim that the second floor is haunted . Matilda , being the courageous heroine , decides to explore the mysterious wing of the Castle . Bertha , wife of Joseph , ( caretakers of the castle ) tells Matilda of the `` other wing '' : `` Now for goodness sake , dear madam , do n't go no farther , for as sure as you are alive , here the ghosts live , for Joseph says he often sees lights and hears strange things . '' However , as Matilda ventures through the castle , she finds that the wing is not haunted by ghosts and rattling chains , but rather , the Countess of Wolfenbach . The supernatural is explained , in this case , ten pages into the novel , and the natural cause of the superstitious noises is a Countess in distress . Characteristic of the Female Gothic , the natural cause of terror is not the supernatural , but rather female disability and societal horrors : rape , incest and the threatening control of the male antagonist .

"Gothic fiction, which is largely known by the subgenre of Gothic horror, is a genre or mode of literature and film that combines fiction and horror, death, and at times romance. Its origin is attributed to English author Horace Walpole, with his 1764 novel The Castle of Otranto, subtitled (in its second edition) \"A Gothic Story\". The effect of Gothic fiction feeds on a pleasing sort of terror, an extension of Romantic literary pleasures that were relatively new at the time of Walpole's novel. It originated in England in the second half of the 18th century where, following Walpole, it was further developed by Clara Reeve, Ann Radcliffe, William Thomas Beckford and Matthew Lewis. The genre had much success in the 19th century, as witnessed in prose by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the works of Edgar Allan Poe as well as Charles Dickens with his novella, A Christmas Carol, and in poetry in the work of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron and Poe. Another well known novel in this genre, dating from the late Victorian era, is Bram Stoker's Dracula. The name Gothic refers to the (pseudo)-medieval buildings, emulating Gothic architecture, in which many of these stories take place. This extreme form of romanticism was very popular in England and Germany. The English Gothic novel also led to new novel types such as the German Schauerroman and the French Georgia."

Signing of the United States Declaration of Independence John Trumbull 's painting Declaration of Independence , depicting the five - man drafting committee of the Declaration of Independence presenting their work to the Second Continental Congress Date August 2 , 1776 ( 1776 - 08 - 02 ) Venue Independence Hall Location Philadelphia , Pennsylvania Coordinates 39 ° 56 ′ 56 '' N 75 ° 09 ′ 00 '' W / 39.948889 ° N 75.15 ° W / 39.948889 ; - 75.15 Coordinates : 39 ° 56 ′ 56 '' N 75 ° 09 ′ 00 '' W / 39.948889 ° N 75.15 ° W / 39.948889 ; - 75.15 Participants Delegates to the Second Continental Congress The signatures on the Declaration of Independence The signing of the United States Declaration of Independence occurred primarily on August 2 , 1776 at the Pennsylvania State House , Independence Hall in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . The 56 delegates to the Second Continental Congress represented the 13 former colonies which had declared themselves the `` United States of America , '' and they endorsed the Declaration of Independence which the Congress had approved on July 4 , 1776 . The Declaration proclaimed that the former Thirteen Colonies then at war with Great Britain were now a sovereign , independent nation and thus no longer a part of the British Empire . The signers ' names are grouped by state , with the exception of President of the Continental Congress John Hancock ; the states are arranged geographically from north to south . The final draft of the Declaration was approved by the Continental Congress on July 4 , although the date of its signing has long been disputed . Most historians have concluded that it was signed on August 2 , 1776 , nearly a month after its adoption , and not on July 4 as is commonly believed . Contents 1 Date of signing 2 List of signers 3 Signer details 4 Stories and legends 5 References 5.1 Citations 5.2 Sources Date of signing ( edit ) The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America by Armand - Dumaresq ( c. 1873 ) has been hanging in the White House since the late 1980s The Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4 , 1776 , with 12 of the 13 colonies voting in favor and New York abstaining . The date that the Declaration was signed has long been the subject of debate . Thomas Jefferson , Benjamin Franklin , and John Adams all wrote that it was signed by Congress on the day when it was adopted on July 4 , 1776 . That assertion is seemingly confirmed by the signed copy of the Declaration , which is dated July 4 . Additional support for the July 4 date is provided by the Journals of Congress , the official public record of the Continental Congress . The proceedings for 1776 were first published in 1777 , and the entry for July 4 states that the Declaration was engrossed and signed on that date ( the official copy was handwritten ) . In 1796 , signer Thomas McKean disputed that the Declaration had been signed on July 4 , pointing out that some signers were not present , including several who were not even elected to Congress until after that date . `` No person signed it on that day nor for many days after '' , he wrote . His claim gained support when the Secret Journals of Congress were published in 1821 . The Secret Journals contained two previously unpublished entries about the Declaration . On July 15 , New York 's delegates got permission from their convention to agree to the Declaration . The Secret Journals entry for July 19 reads : Resolved That the Declaration passed on the 4th be fairly engrossed on parchment with the title and stile of `` The unanimous declaration of the thirteen united states of America '' & that the same when engrossed be signed by every member of Congress . The entry for August 2 states : The declaration of Independence being engrossed & compared at the table was signed by the Members . In 1884 , historian Mellen Chamberlain argued that these entries indicated that the famous signed version of the Declaration had been created following the July 19 resolution , and had not been signed by Congress until August 2 . Subsequent research has confirmed that many of the signers had not been present in Congress on July 4 , and that some delegates may have added their signatures even after August 2 . Neither Jefferson nor Adams ever wavered from their belief that the signing ceremony took place on July 4 , yet most historians have accepted the argument which David McCullough articulates in his biography of John Adams : `` No such scene , with all the delegates present , ever occurred at Philadelphia . '' The Syng inkstand was used during the signing of the Declaration and the 1787 signing of the U.S. Constitution Legal historian Wilfred Ritz concluded in 1986 that about 34 delegates signed the Declaration on July 4 , and that the others signed on or after August 2 . Ritz argues that the engrossed copy of the Declaration was signed by Congress on July 4 , as Jefferson , Adams , and Franklin had stated , and that it was implausible that all three men had been mistaken . He believes that McKean 's testimony was questionable , and that historians had misinterpreted the July 19 resolution . According to Ritz , this resolution did not call for a new document to be created , but rather for the existing one to be given a new title , which was necessary after New York had joined the other 12 states in declaring independence . He reasons that the phrase `` signed by every member of Congress '' in the July 19 resolution meant that delegates who had not signed the Declaration on the 4th were now required to do so . List of signers ( edit ) Fifty - six delegates eventually signed the Declaration of Independence : President of Congress 1 . John Hancock ( Massachusetts Bay ) New Hampshire 2 . Josiah Bartlett 3 . William Whipple 4 . Matthew Thornton Massachusetts Bay 5 . Samuel Adams 6 . John Adams 7 . Robert Treat Paine 8 . Elbridge Gerry Rhode Island and Providence Plantations 9 . Stephen Hopkins 10 .

George Walton Signer details ( edit ) Eight delegates never signed the Declaration , out of about 50 who are thought to have been present in Congress during the voting on independence in early July 1776 : John Alsop , George Clinton , John Dickinson , Charles Humphreys , Robert R. Livingston , John Rogers , Thomas Willing , and Henry Wisner . Clinton , Livingston , and Wisner were attending to duties away from Congress when the signing took place . Willing and Humphreys voted against the resolution of independence and were replaced in the Pennsylvania delegation before the August 2 signing . Rogers had voted for the resolution of independence but was no longer a delegate on August 2 . Alsop favored reconciliation with Great Britain and so resigned rather than add his name to the document . Dickinson refused to sign , believing the Declaration premature , but he remained in Congress . George Read had voted against the resolution of independence , and Robert Morris had abstained -- yet they both signed the Declaration . The most famous signature on the engrossed copy is that of John Hancock , who presumably signed first as President of Congress . Hancock 's large , flamboyant signature became iconic , and John Hancock emerged in the United States as an informal synonym for `` signature '' . Future presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were among the signatories . Edward Rutledge ( age 26 ) was the youngest signer and Benjamin Franklin ( age 70 ) the oldest . John Hancock 's now - iconic signature on the Declaration is nearly 5 inches ( 13 cm ) long . Some delegates were away on business when the Declaration was debated , including William Hooper and Samuel Chase , but they were back in Congress to sign on August 2 . Other delegates were present when the Declaration was debated but added their names after August 2 , including Lewis Morris , Oliver Wolcott , Thomas McKean , and possibly Elbridge Gerry . Richard Henry Lee and George Wythe were in Virginia during July and August , but returned to Congress and signed the Declaration probably in September and October , respectively . New delegates joining the Congress were also allowed to sign . Eight men signed the Declaration who did not take seats in Congress until after July 4 : Matthew Thornton , William Williams , Benjamin Rush , George Clymer , James Smith , George Taylor , George Ross , and Charles Carroll of Carrollton . Matthew Thornton did not take a seat in Congress until November . By the time that he signed it , there was n't any space for his name next to the other New Hampshire delegates , so he placed his signature at the end of the document . The first published version of the Declaration was the Dunlap broadside . The only names on that version were Congress President John Hancock and Secretary Charles Thomson , and those names were printed rather than signatures . The public did not learn who had signed the engrossed copy until January 18 , 1777 , when the Congress ordered that an `` authenticated copy '' be sent to each of the 13 states , including the names of the signers . This copy is called the Goddard Broadside ; it was the first to list all the signers except for Thomas McKean , who may not have signed the Declaration until after the Goddard Broadside was published . Congress Secretary Charles Thomson did not sign the engrossed copy of the Declaration , and his name does n't appear on the Goddard Broadside , even though it does appear on the Dunlap broadside . Stories and legends ( edit ) Various legends emerged years later concerning the signing of the Declaration , when the document had become an important national symbol . In one famous story , John Hancock supposedly said that Congress , having signed the Declaration , must now `` all hang together '' , and Benjamin Franklin replied : `` Yes , we must indeed all hang together , or most assuredly we shall all hang separately . '' The quotation did not appear in print until more than 50 years after Franklin 's death .

"The final draft of the Declaration was approved by the Continental Congress on July 4, although the date of its signing has long been disputed. Most historians have concluded that it was signed on August 2, 1776, nearly a month after its adoption, and not on July 4 as is commonly believed.\n"

-5532861072064550375 | Plastic shopping bag | Plastic shopping bag - wikipedia Plastic shopping bag Jump to : navigation , search A German plastic shopping bag , freshly folded ( left ) and used ( right ) Plastic shopping bags , carrier bags , or plastic grocery bags are a type of plastic bag used as shopping bags and made from various kinds of plastic . In use by consumers worldwide since the 1960s , these bags are sometimes called single - use bags , referring to carrying items from a store to a home . However , reuse for storage or trash is common , and modern plastic shopping bags are increasingly recyclable or biodegradable . In recent decades , numerous countries have introduced legislation restricting the sale of plastic bags , in a bid to reduce littering and plastic pollution . Some reusable shopping bags are made of plastic film , fibers , or fabric . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Production 3 Manufacture and composition 3.1 Biodegradable materials 4 Biodegradable plastic carrier bags and manufacture 5 Environmental concerns 5.1 Reduction , reuse and recycling 5.2 Bag legislation 6 See also 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External links History ( edit ) American and European patent applications relating to the production of plastic shopping bags can be found dating back to the early 1950s , but these refer to composite constructions with handles fixed to the bag in a secondary manufacturing process . The modern lightweight shopping bag is the invention of Swedish engineer Sten Gustaf Thulin . In the early 1960s , Thulin developed a method of forming a simple one - piece bag by folding , welding and die - cutting a flat tube of plastic for the packaging company Celloplast of Norrköping , Sweden . Thulin 's design produced a simple , strong bag with a high load - carrying capacity , and was patented worldwide by Celloplast in 1965 . Celloplast was a well - established producer of cellulose film and a pioneer in plastics processing . The company 's patent position gave it a virtual monopoly on plastic shopping bag production , and the company set up manufacturing plants across Europe and in the US . However , other companies saw the attraction of the bag , too , and the US petrochemicals group Mobil overturned Celloplast 's US patent in 1977 . The Dixie Bag Company of College Park , Georgia , owned and operated by Jack W. McBride , was one of the first companies to exploit this new opportunity to bring convenient products to all major shopping stores . The Dixie Bag Company , along with similar firms such as Houston Poly Bag and Capitol Poly , was instrumental in the manufacturing , marketing and perfecting of plastic bags in the 1980s . Kroger , a Cincinnati - based grocery chain , began to replace its paper shopping bags with plastic bags in 1982 , and was soon followed by its rival , Safeway . Without its plastic bag monopoly , Celloplast 's business went into decline , and the company was split up during the 1990s . The Norrköping site remains a plastics production site , however , and is now the headquarters of Miljösäck , a manufacturer of waste sacks manufactured from recycled polyethylene . From the mid-1980s onwards , plastic bags became common for carrying daily groceries from the store to vehicles and homes throughout the developed world . As plastic bags increasingly replaced paper bags , and as other plastic materials and products replaced glass , metal , stone , timber and other materials , a packaging materials war erupted , with plastic shopping bags at the center of highly publicized disputes . In 1992 , Sonoco Products Company of Hartsville , SC patented the `` self - opening polyethylene bag stack '' . The main innovation of this redesign is that the removal of a bag from the rack opens the next bag in the stack . This team was headed by Wade D. Fletcher and Harry Wilfong . Production ( edit ) Although few peer - reviewed studies or government surveys have provided estimates for global plastic bag use , environmental activists estimate that between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are used each year worldwide . In 2009 , the United States International Trade Commission reported that 102 billion plastic bags are used annually in the United States alone . Manufacture and composition ( edit ) Traditional plastic bags are usually made from polyethylene , which consists of long chains of ethylene monomers . Ethylene is derived from natural gas and petroleum . The polyethylene used in most plastic shopping bags is either low - density ( resin identification code 4 ) or , more often , high - density ( resin identification code 2 ) . Color concentrates and other additives are often used to add tint to the plastic . Plastic shopping bags are commonly manufactured by blown film extrusion . Biodegradable materials ( edit ) Main article : Biodegradable bags Some modern bags are made of vegetable - based bioplastics , which can decay organically and prevent a build - up of toxic plastic bags in landfills and the natural environment . Bags can also be made from degradable polyethylene film or from polylactic acid ( PLA ) , a biodegradable polymer derived from lactic acid . However , most degradable bags do not readily decompose in a sealed landfill , and represent a possible contaminant to plastic recycling operations . In general , biodegradable plastic bags need to be kept separate from conventional plastic recycling systems . Biodegradable plastic carrier bags and manufacture ( edit ) Biodegradable plastics are plastics that are decomposed by the action of living organisms , usually bacteria . Two basic classes of biodegradable plastics exist : Bioplastics , whose components are derived from renewable raw materials , and plastics made from petrochemicals containing biodegradable additives which enhance biodegradation . Environmental concerns ( edit ) See also : Great Pacific garbage patch In some countries like the USA an excess of plastic bags is used for shopping . Because plastic bags are so durable , this makes them a concern for the environment . They will not break down easily and as a result may be harmful to wildlife . Each year millions of discarded plastic shopping bags end up as plastic waste litter in the environment when improperly disposed of . The same properties that have made plastic bags so commercially successful and ubiquitous -- namely their low weight and resistance to degradation -- have also contributed to their proliferation in the environment . Due to their durability , plastic bags can take centuries to decompose . According to The Outline , it can take between 500 - 1,000 years for a plastic shopping bag to break down . The use lifespan of a bag is approximately 12 minutes of use . On land , plastic bags are one of the most prevalent types of litter in inhabited areas . Large buildups of plastic bags can clog drainage systems and contribute to flooding , as occurred in Bangladesh in 1988 and 1998 and almost annually in Manila . Littering is often a serious problem in developing countries , where trash collection infrastructure is less developed than in wealthier nations . Plastic bags were found to constitute a significant portion of the floating marine debris in the waters around southern Chile in a study conducted between 2002 and 2005 . If washed out to sea , plastic bags can be carried long distances by ocean currents , and can strangle marine animals . Reduction , reuse and recycling ( edit ) Plastic shopping bags are in most cases not accepted by standard curbside recycling programs ; though their composition is often identical to other accepted plastics , they pose problems for the single - stream recycling process , as most of the sorting equipment is designed for rigid plastics such as bottles , so plastic bags often end up clogging wheels or belts , or being confused as paper and contaminating the pulp produced later in the stream . Some large store chains have banned plastic shopping bags such as Whole Foods in the U.S. and IKEA in the U.S. and the U.K. Heavy - duty plastic shopping bags are suitable for reuse as reusable shopping bags . Lighter weight bags are often reused as trash bags or to pick up pet feces . All types of plastic shopping bag can be recycled into new bags where effective collection schemes exist . By the mid-1900s , the expansion of recycling infrastructure in the United States yielded a 7 % annual rate of plastic bag recycling . This corresponded to more than 800,000,000 pounds ( 360,000 tonnes ) of bags and plastic film being recycled in 2007 alone . Each ton of recycled plastic bags saves the energy equivalent of 11 barrels of oil , although most bags are produced from natural - gas - derived stock . In light of a 2002 Australian study showing that more than 60 % of bags are reused as bin liners and for other purposes , the 7 % recycling rate accounts for 17.5 % of the plastic bags available for recycling . According to the UK 's Environment Agency , 76 % of British carrier bags are reused . A survey by the American Plastics Counsel found that 90 % of Americans answer yes to the question `` Do you or does anyone in your household ever reuse plastic shopping bags ? '' UK Environment Agency published a review of supermarket carrier bags and compares energy usage of current styles of bag . Bag legislation ( edit ) Main article : Phase - out of lightweight plastic bags Several countries , regions , and cities have enacted legislation to ban or severely reduce the use of disposable plastic shopping bags . Outright bans have been introduced in some countries , notably China , which banned very thin plastic bags nationwide in 2008 . Several other countries impose a tax at the point of sale .

Today he is known for his philanthropy , his ownership of the Atlanta Falcons in the National Football League , and Atlanta United in Major League Soccer . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Sports ownership 3 Personal life 4 Honors 5 References 6 External links Early life ( edit ) Arthur Blank was born to a Jewish family in Flushing , New York . His father , Max Blank , was a pharmacist and his mother , Molly Blank , was a full - time mother of two sons , Arthur and his older brother Michael . Blank graduated from Stuyvesant High School in New York City and attended Babson College , where he graduated in three years in 1963 with a B.S. degree in business administration and accounting . He also received an honorary degree from Comton University Business career . Blank in 2009 After graduating from Babson College , Blank was hired by Arthur Young and Company , where he was a senior accountant . He later joined the Daylin Corporation , where he rose to become president of Elliott 's Drug Stores / Stripe Discount Stores , a division of Daylin . When Daylin decided to sell off that division , Blank moved to another division , Handy Dan Home Improvement Centers . Bernard Marcus was CEO of Handy Dan and Blank was vice president of finance when both were fired in 1978 as part of an internal power struggle . In 1978 , Blank co-founded Home Depot with Marcus . New York investment banker Ken Langone assembled the initial group of investors and merchandising guru Patrick Farrah helped founders realize their vision of one - stop shopping for the do - it - yourselfer . The store revolutionized the home improvement business with its warehouse concept and Blank and Marcus became billionaires as a result . Blank spent 19 years as the company 's president before succeeding Marcus as CEO . Blank retired from the company in 2001 as co-chairman . Today , Blank is the Chairman , President , and CEO of AMB Group LLC , parent company of the Falcons and Atlanta United . He is also chairman of The Arthur Blank Family Foundation . He serves on the Board of Trustees of Emory University and the board of Staples . Sports ownership ( edit ) In February 2002 , Blank purchased the Atlanta Falcons franchise in the National Football League from owner Taylor Smith , the son of team founder Rankin M. Smith Sr ... In September 2004 , he bought the Arena Football League franchise , the Georgia Force ; he moved the team back to the city of Atlanta after it had spent several years in suburban Gwinnett County . Blank has expressed serious interest in purchasing other franchises . In early 2006 , he temporarily withdrew from contention as a potential buyer of the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball . Some months later , Blank re-entered serious talks with Time Warner and a report indicated that a sale was imminent . However , in February 2007 , the Braves completed the sale of the team to Liberty Media . Blank has also founded an expansion Major League Soccer franchise named Atlanta United FC that began play in 2017 . The club shares Mercedes - Benz Stadium with the Falcons . Personal life ( edit ) Blank has been married three times and divorced twice . He has three children with his first wife , Diana J. Blank ( born 1942 ) : Kenny Blank , Dena Blank Kimball , and Danielle Blank ; they divorced in 1993 . In 1995 , he married Stephanie V. Blank ( born 1968 ) , a Blowing Rock , North Carolina native and Appalachian State University graduate he met when she worked as a designer at a Home Depot store in Atlanta . They had three children - Joshua Blank , Max Blank , and Kylie Blank - before being divorced . Blank is married to Angela Macuga ( born 1968 ) , who has three children from a previous marriage . Blank also owns Mountain Sky Guest Ranch in Emigrant , Montana ; and PGA TOUR Superstores . Blank is a signatory of The Giving Pledge committing himself to give away at least 50 % of his wealth to charitable causes . On February 9 , 2016 , Blank revealed he had very treatable prostate cancer . On March 17 , 2016 , Blank announced that he is cancer - free following treatment . Honors ( edit ) In 2011 , Blank was the recipient of the Freeing Voices , Changing Lives award from the American Institute for Stuttering . Blank was inducted into the Junior Achievement U.S. Business Hall of Fame in 2006 , and in 2005 he was named National Entrepreneur Of The Year by Ernst & Young LLP . In 2003 , for the second time in three years , Blank was named Georgia 's Most Respected CEO by Georgia Trend magazine . In 2014 , he was inducted as a Georgia Trustee , an honor given by the Georgia Historical Society in conjunction with the Governor of Georgia to individuals whose accomplishments and community service reflect the ideals of the founding body of Trustees , which governed the Georgia colony from 1732 to 1752 .

1552687632654093707 | Ladder logic | Ladder logic - wikipedia Ladder logic Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the programming language . For the FIRST competition , see Ladder Logic . This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Ladder logic was originally a written method to document the design and construction of relay racks as used in manufacturing and process control . Each device in the relay rack would be represented by a symbol on the ladder diagram with connections between those devices shown . In addition , other items external to the relay rack such as pumps , heaters , and so forth would also be shown on the ladder diagram . See relay logic . Ladder logic has evolved into a programming language that represents a program by a graphical diagram based on the circuit diagrams of relay logic hardware . Ladder logic is used to develop software for programmable logic controllers ( PLCs ) used in industrial control applications . The name is based on the observation that programs in this language resemble ladders , with two vertical rails and a series of horizontal rungs between them . While ladder diagrams were once the only available notation for recording programmable controller programs , today other forms are standardized in IEC 61131 - 3 ( For example , as an alternative to the graphical ladder logic form , there is also a more assembly language like format called Instruction list within the IEC 61131 - 3 standard . ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 Example of a simple ladder logic program 2.1 Logical AND 2.2 Logical AND with NOT 2.3 Logical OR 2.4 Industrial STOP / START 2.5 Complex logic 2.6 Additional functionality 3 Limitations and successor languages 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Overview ( edit ) Part of a ladder diagram , including contacts and coils , compares , timers and monostable multivibrators Ladder logic is widely used to program PLCs , where sequential control of a process or manufacturing operation is required . Ladder logic is useful for simple but critical control systems or for reworking old hardwired relay circuits . As programmable logic controllers became more sophisticated it has also been used in very complex automation systems . Often the ladder logic program is used in conjunction with an HMI program operating on a computer workstation . The motivation for representing sequential control logic in a ladder diagram was to allow factory engineers and technicians to develop software without additional training to learn a language such as FORTRAN or other general purpose computer language . Development , and maintenance , was simplified because of the resemblance to familiar relay hardware systems . Implementations of ladder logic have characteristics , such as sequential execution and support for control flow features , that make the analogy to hardware somewhat inaccurate . This argument has become less relevant given that most ladder logic programmers have a software background in more conventional programming languages . Ladder logic can be thought of as a rule - based language rather than a procedural language . A `` rung '' in the ladder represents a rule . When implemented with relays and other electromechanical devices , the various rules `` execute '' simultaneously and immediately . When implemented in a programmable logic controller , the rules are typically executed sequentially by software , in a continuous loop ( scan ) . By executing the loop fast enough , typically many times per second , the effect of simultaneous and immediate execution is achieved , if considering intervals greater than the `` scan time '' required to execute all the rungs of the program . Proper use of programmable controllers requires understanding the limitations of the execution order of rungs . Example of a simple ladder logic program ( edit ) The language itself can be seen as a set of connections between logical checkers ( contacts ) and actuators ( coils ) . If a path can be traced between the left side of the rung and the output , through asserted ( true or `` closed '' ) contacts , the rung is true and the output coil storage bit is asserted ( 1 ) or true . If no path can be traced , then the output is false ( 0 ) and the `` coil '' by analogy to electromechanical relays is considered `` de-energized '' . The analogy between logical propositions and relay contact status is due to Claude Shannon . Ladder logic has contacts that make or break circuits to control coils . Each coil or contact corresponds to the status of a single bit in the programmable controller 's memory . Unlike electromechanical relays , a ladder program can refer any number of times to the status of a single bit , equivalent to a relay with an indefinitely large number of contacts . So - called `` contacts '' may refer to physical ( `` hard '' ) inputs to the programmable controller from physical devices such as pushbuttons and limit switches via an integrated or external input module , or may represent the status of internal storage bits which may be generated elsewhere in the program . Each rung of ladder language typically has one coil at the far right . Some manufacturers may allow more than one output coil on a rung . Rung Input : Checkers ( contacts ) -- ( ) -- Normally open contact , closed whenever its corresponding coil or an input which controls it is energized . ( Open contact at rest ) -- ( \ ) -- Normally closed ( `` not '' ) contact , closed whenever its corresponding coil or an input which controls it is not energized . ( Closed contact at rest ) Rung Output : Actuators ( coils ) -- ( ) -- Normally inactive coil , energized whenever its rung is closed . ( Inactive at rest ) -- ( \ ) -- Normally active ( `` not '' ) coil , energized whenever its rung is open . ( Active at rest ) The `` coil '' ( output of a rung ) may represent a physical output which operates some device connected to the programmable controller , or may represent an internal storage bit for use elsewhere in the program . A way to recall these is to imagine the checkers ( contacts ) as a push button input , and the actuators ( coils ) as a light bulb output . The presence of a slash within the checkers or actuators would indicate the default state of the device at rest . Logical and ( edit ) -- -- -- ( ) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ( ) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ( ) Key Switch 1 Key Switch 2 Door Motor The above realizes the function : Door Motor = Key Switch 1 AND Key Switch 2 This circuit shows two key switches that security guards might use to activate an electric motor on a bank vault door . When the normally open contacts of both switches close , electricity is able to flow to the motor which opens the door . Logical and with NOT ( edit ) -- -- -- ( ) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ( \ ) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ( ) Close Door Obstruction Door Motor The above realizes the function : Door Motor = Close door AND NOT ( Obstruction ) . This circuit shows a push button that closes a door , and an obstruction detector that senses if something is in the way of the closing door . When the normally open push button contact closes and the normally closed obstruction detector is closed ( no obstruction detected ) , electricity is able to flow to the motor which closes the door .

The remote receiver is always powered . The unlock solenoid gets power when either set of contacts is closed . Industrial stop / start ( edit ) In common industrial latching start / stop logic we have a `` start '' button to turn on a motor contactor , and a `` stop '' button to turn off the contactor . When the `` start '' button is pushed the input goes true , via the `` stop '' button NC contact . When the `` run '' input becomes true the seal - in `` run '' NO contact in parallel with the `` start '' NO contact will close maintaining the input logic true ( latched or sealed - in ) . After the circuit is latched the `` stop '' button may be pushed causing its NC contact to open and consequently the input to go false . The `` run '' NO contact then opens and the circuit logic returns to its inactive state . -- + -- -- ( ) -- + -- -- ( \ ) -- -- ( ) start stop run + -- -- ( ) -- + run -- -- -- - ( ) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ( ) run motor The above realizes the function : run = ( start OR run ) AND ( NOT stop ) Note the use of parenthesis to group the logical OR function before evaluating the logical AND function ( which has a higher order of operation priority ) . Also note the use of NOT to represent the `` stop '' NC contact logic . This latch configuration is a common idiom in ladder logic . In ladder logic it is referred to as seal - in logic . The key to understanding the latch is in recognizing that `` start '' switch is a momentary switch ( once the user releases the button , the switch is open again ) . As soon as the `` run '' solenoid engages , it closes the `` run '' NO contact , which latches the solenoid on . The `` start '' switch opening up then has no effect . For safety reasons , an Emergency - Stop and / or Stop should be hardwired in series with the Start switch , and the relay logic should reflect this . -- ( \ ) -- -- ( \ ) -- -- + -- ( ) -- + -- -- -- -- - ( ) ES Stop Start Motor + -- ( ) -- + Run Complex logic ( edit ) Here is an example of what two rungs in a ladder logic program might look like . In real world applications , there may be hundreds or thousands of rungs . Typically , complex ladder logic is ' read ' left to right and top to bottom . As each of the lines ( or rungs ) are evaluated the output coil of a rung may feed into the next stage of the ladder as an input . In a complex system there will be many `` rungs '' on a ladder , which are numbered in order of evaluation . 1 . -- -- ( ) -- -- -- -- - + -- -- ( ) -- -- - + -- -- ( ) Switch HiTemp A / C + -- -- ( ) -- -- - + Humid 2 . -- -- ( ) -- -- ( \ ) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ( ) A / C Heat Cooling Line 1 realizes the function : A / C = Switch AND ( HiTemp OR Humid ) Line 2 realizes the function : Cooling = A / C AND ( NOT Heat ) This represents a slightly more complex system for rung 2 . After the first line has been evaluated , the output coil `` A / C '' is fed into rung 2 , which is then evaluated and the output coil `` Cooling '' could be fed into an output device `` Compressor '' or into rung 3 on the ladder . This system allows very complex logic designs to be broken down and evaluated . Additional functionality ( edit ) Additional functionality can be added to a ladder logic implementation by the PLC manufacturer as a special block . When the special block is powered , it executes code on predetermined arguments . These arguments may be displayed within the special block . + -- -- -- - + -- -- - ( ) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + A + -- -- Remote Unlock + -- -- -- - + Remote Counter + -- -- -- - + -- -- - ( ) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + B + -- -- interior unlock + -- -- -- - + Interior counter + -- -- -- -- + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + A + B + -- -- -- -- -- - into C + -- -- -- -- + Adder In this example , the system will count the number of times that the interior and remote unlock buttons are pressed . This information will be stored in memory locations A and B. Memory location C will hold the total number of times that the door has been unlocked electronically . PLCs have many types of special blocks . They include timers , arithmetic operators and comparisons , table lookups , text processing , PID control , and filtering functions . More powerful PLCs can operate on a group of internal memory locations and execute an operation on a range of addresses , for example , to simulate a physical sequential drum controller or a finite state machine . In some cases , users can define their own special blocks , which effectively are subroutines or macros . The large library of special blocks along with high speed execution has allowed use of PLCs to implement very complex automation systems . Limitations and successor languages ( edit ) Ladder notation is best suited to control problems where only binary variables are required and where interlocking and sequencing of binary is the primary control problem . Like all parallel programming languages , the sequential order of operations may be undefined or obscure ; logic race conditions are possible which may produce unexpected results . Complex rungs are best broken into several simpler steps to avoid this problem . Some manufacturers avoid this problem by explicitly and completely defining the execution order of a rung , however programmers may still have problems fully grasping the resulting complex semantics . Analog quantities and arithmetical operations are clumsy to express in ladder logic and each manufacturer has different ways of extending the notation for these problems . There is usually limited support for arrays and loops , often resulting in duplication of code to express cases which in other languages would call for use of indexed variables . As microprocessors have become more powerful , notations such as sequential function charts and function block diagrams can replace ladder logic for some limited applications . Some newer PLCs may have all or part of the programming carried out in a dialect that resembles BASIC , C , or other programming language with bindings appropriate for a real - time application environment .

"Ladder logic has evolved into a programming language that represents a program by a graphical diagram based on the circuit diagrams of relay logic hardware. Ladder logic is used to develop software for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) used in industrial control applications. The name is based on the observation that programs in this language resemble ladders, with two vertical rails and a series of horizontal rungs between them. While ladder diagrams were once the only available notation for recording programmable controller programs, today other forms are standardized in IEC 61131-3 (For example, as an alternative to the graphical ladder logic form, there is also a more assembly language like format called Instruction list within the IEC 61131-3 standard.)."
