White arrows indicate normal blood flow . Superior vena cava , inferior vena cava , azygos vein and their tributaries Details Source common iliac vein lumbar veins testicular vein renal vein suprarenal vein hepatic vein Drains to right atrium Artery abdominal aorta Identifiers Latin vena cava inferior Acronym ( s ) IVC MeSH D014682 TA A12. 3.09. 001 FMA 10951 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) The inferior vena cava ( or IVC ) is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower and middle body into the right atrium of the heart . Its walls are rigid and has valves so the blood does not flow down via gravity . It is formed by the joining of the right and the left common iliac veins , usually at the level of the fifth lumbar vertebra . The inferior vena cava is the lower ( `` inferior '' ) of the two venae cavae , the two large veins that carry deoxygenated blood from the body : the inferior vena cava carries blood from the lower half of the body whilst the superior vena cava carries blood from the upper half of the body . It is a large retroperitoneal vein that lies posterior to the abdominal cavity and runs along the right side of the vertebral column . It enters the right atrium at the lower right , back side of the heart . The name derives from Latin : vena , `` vein '' , cavus , `` hollow '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 Tributaries 1.2 Development 1.3 Variation 2 Function 3 Clinical significance 4 Additional images 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Structure ( edit ) The inferior vena cava is formed by the joining of the left and right common iliac veins and brings collected blood into the right atrium of the heart . It also joins with the azygos vein ( which runs on the right side of the vertebral column ) and venous plexuses next to the spinal cord . The inferior vena cava begins as the left and right common iliac veins behind the abdomen unite , at about the level of L5 . It passes through the thoracic diaphragm at the caval opening at the level of T8 . Tributaries ( edit ) The specific levels of the tributaries are as follows : Level Vein T8 hepatic veins , inferior phrenic vein L1 right suprarenal vein , renal veins L2 right gonadal vein L1 -- L5 lumbar veins L5 common iliac veins Because the inferior vena cava is located to the right of the midline , drainage of the tributaries is not always symmetrical . On the right , the gonadal veins and suprarenal veins drain into the inferior vena cava directly . On the left , they drain into the renal vein which in turn drains into the inferior vena cava . By contrast , all the lumbar veins and hepatic veins usually drain directly into the inferior vena cava . Development ( edit ) In the embryo , the inferior vena cava and right atrium are separated by the valve of the inferior vena cava , also known as the Eustachian valve . In the adult , this valve typically has totally regressed or remains as a small fold of endocardium . Variation ( edit ) Rarely , the inferior vena cava may vary in its size and position . In transposition of the great arteries the inferior vena cava may lie on the left . It may be replaced by two vessels beneath the level of the renal veins . Function ( edit ) The inferior vena cava is a vein . It carries deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body to the right atrium of the heart . The corresponding vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body is the superior vena cava . Clinical significance ( edit ) Health problems attributed to the IVC are most often associated with it being compressed ( ruptures are rare because it has a low intraluminal pressure ) . Typical sources of external pressure are an enlarged aorta ( abdominal aortic aneurysm ) , the gravid uterus ( aortocaval compression syndrome ) and abdominal maligancies , such as colorectal cancer , renal cell carcinoma and ovarian cancer . Since the inferior vena cava is primarily a right - sided structure , unconscious pregnant women should be turned on to their left side ( the recovery position ) , to relieve pressure on it and facilitate venous return . In rare cases , straining associated with defecation can lead to restricted blood flow through the IVC and result in syncope ( fainting ) . Blockage of the inferior vena cava is rare , and is treated urgently as a life - threatening condition . It is associated with deep vein thrombosis , IVC filters , liver transplantation and surgical procedures such as the insertion of a catheter in the femoral vein in the groin . Branches of Inferior Vena Cava Trauma to the vena cava is usually fatal as unstoppable excessive blood loss occurs .

Giraffe Temporal range : 11.61 -- 0 Ma PreЄ Є Pg Miocene to Recent Masai giraffe ( G. c. tippelskirchi ) at the Mikumi National Park , Tanzania Conservation status Vulnerable ( IUCN 3.1 ) Scientific classification Kingdom : Animalia Phylum : Chordata Class : Mammalia Order : Artiodactyla Family : Giraffidae Genus : Giraffa Brisson , 1772 Type species Giraffa camelopardalis ( Linnaeus , 1758 ) Species See Taxonomy Range map of extant Giraffa subspecies . The giraffe ( Giraffa ) is a genus of African even - toed ungulate mammals , the tallest living terrestrial animals and the largest ruminants . The genus currently consists of one species , Giraffa camelopardalis , the type species . Seven other species are extinct , prehistoric species known from fossils . Taxonomic classifications of one to eight extant giraffe species have been described , based upon research into the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA , as well as morphological measurements of Giraffa , but the IUCN currently recognises only one species with nine subspecies . The giraffe 's chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs , its horn - like ossicones , and its distinctive coat patterns . It is classified under the family Giraffidae , along with its closest extant relative , the okapi . Its scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south , and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east . Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and woodlands . Their food source is leaves , fruits and flowers of woody plants , primarily acacia species , which they browse at heights most other herbivores can not reach . They may be preyed on by lions , leopards , spotted hyenas and African wild dogs . Giraffes live in herds of related females and their offspring , or bachelor herds of unrelated adult males , but are gregarious and may gather in large aggregations . Males establish social hierarchies through `` necking '' , which are combat bouts where the neck is used as a weapon . Dominant males gain mating access to females , which bear the sole responsibility for raising the young . The giraffe has intrigued various cultures , both ancient and modern , for its peculiar appearance , and has often been featured in paintings , books , and cartoons . It is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as Vulnerable to extinction , and has been extirpated from many parts of its former range . Giraffes are still found in numerous national parks and game reserves but estimations as of 2016 indicate that there are approximately 97,500 members of Giraffa in the wild , with around 1,144 in captivity .

The Arab name is translated as `` fast - walker '' . There were several Middle English spellings , such as jarraf , ziraph , and gerfauntz . The Italian form giraffa arose in the 1590s . The modern English form developed around 1600 from the French girafe . `` Camelopard '' is an archaic English name for the giraffe deriving from the Ancient Greek for camel and leopard , referring to its camel - like shape and its leopard - like colouring . Taxonomy Living giraffes were originally classified as one species by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 . He gave it the binomial name Cervus camelopardalis . Morten Thrane Brünnich classified the genus Giraffa in 1772 . The species name camelopardalis is from Latin . Evolution Ruminantia Tragulina Tragulidae Pecora Antilocapridae Giraffidae Cervidae Bovidae Moschidae Cladogram based on a 2003 study by Hassanin and Douzery . The giraffe is one of only two living genera of the family Giraffidae in the order Artiodactyla , the other being the okapi . The family was once much more extensive , with over 10 fossil genera described . Their closest known relatives are the extinct deer - like climacocerids . They , together with the family Antilocapridae ( whose only extant species is the pronghorn ) , belong to the superfamily Giraffoidea . These animals may have evolved from the extinct family Palaeomerycidae which might also have been the ancestor of deer . The elongation of the neck appears to have started early in the giraffe lineage . Comparisons between giraffes and their ancient relatives suggest that vertebrae close to the skull lengthened earlier , followed by lengthening of vertebrae further down . One early giraffid ancestor was Canthumeryx which has been dated variously to have lived 25 -- 20 million years ago ( mya ) , 17 -- 15 mya or 18 -- 14.3 mya and whose deposits have been found in Libya . This animal was medium - sized , slender and antelope - like . Giraffokeryx appeared 15 mya in the Indian subcontinent and resembled an okapi or a small giraffe , and had a longer neck and similar ossicones . Giraffokeryx may have shared a clade with more massively built giraffids like Sivatherium and Bramatherium . The extinct giraffid Samotherium ( middle ) in comparison with the okapi ( below ) and giraffe . The anatomy of Samotherium appears to have shown a transition to a giraffe - like neck . Giraffids like Palaeotragus , Shansitherium and Samotherium appeared 14 mya and lived throughout Africa and Eurasia . These animals had bare ossicones and small cranial sinuses and were longer with broader skulls . Paleotragus resembled the okapi and may have been its ancestor . Others find that the okapi lineage diverged earlier , before Giraffokeryx . Samotherium was a particularly important transitional fossil in the giraffe lineage as its cervical vertebrae was intermediate in length and structure between a modern giraffe and an okapi , and was more vertical than the okapi 's . Bohlinia , which first appeared in southeastern Europe and lived 9 -- 7 mya was likely a direct ancestor of the giraffe . Bohlinia closely resembled modern giraffes , having a long neck and legs and similar ossicones and dentition . Bohlinia entered China and northern India in response to climate change . From there , the genus Giraffa evolved and , around 7 mya , entered Africa . Further climate changes caused the extinction of the Asian giraffes , while the African giraffes survived and radiated into several new species . Living giraffes appear to have arisen around 1 mya in eastern Africa during the Pleistocene . Some biologists suggest the modern giraffes descended from G. jumae ; others find G. gracilis a more likely candidate . G. jumae was larger and more heavily built while G. gracilis was smaller and more lightly built . The main driver for the evolution of the giraffes is believed to have been the changes from extensive forests to more open habitats , which began 8 mya . During this time , tropical plants disappeared and were replaced by arid C4 plants , and a dry savannah emerged across eastern and northern Africa and western India . Some researchers have hypothesised that this new habitat coupled with a different diet , including acacia species , may have exposed giraffe ancestors to toxins that caused higher mutation rates and a higher rate of evolution . The coat patterns of modern giraffes may also have coincided with these habitat changes . Asian giraffes are hypothesised to have had more okapi - like colourations . In the early 19th century , Jean - Baptiste Lamarck believed the giraffe 's long neck was an `` acquired characteristic '' , developed as generations of ancestral giraffes strove to reach the leaves of tall trees . This theory was eventually rejected , and scientists now believe the giraffe 's neck arose through Darwinian natural selection -- that ancestral giraffes with long necks thereby had a competitive feeding advantage ( competing browsers hypothesis ) that better enabled them to survive and reproduce to pass on their genes . The giraffe genome is around 2.9 billion base pairs in length compared to the 3.3 billion base pairs of the okapi . Of the proteins in giraffe and okapi genes , 19.4 % are identical . The two species are equally distantly related to cattle , suggesting the giraffe 's unique characteristics are not because of faster evolution . The divergence of giraffe and okapi lineages dates to around 11.5 mya . A small group of regulatory genes in the giraffe appear to be responsible for the animal 's stature and associated circulatory adaptations . Species and subspecies `` Approximate geographic ranges , fur patterns , and phylogenetic relationships between some giraffe subspecies based on mitochondrial DNA sequences . Colored dots on the map represent sampling localities . The phylogenetic tree is a maximum - likelihood phylogram based on samples from 266 giraffes . Asterisks along branches correspond to node values of more than 90 % bootstrap support . Stars at branch tips identify paraphyletic haplotypes found in Maasai and reticulated giraffes '' . The IUCN currently recognises only one species of giraffe with nine subspecies . In 2001 , a two - species taxonomy was proposed . A 2007 study on the genetics of Giraffa , suggested they were six species : the West African , Rothschild 's , reticulated , Masai , Angolan , and South African giraffe . The study deduced from genetic differences in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA ) that giraffes from these populations are reproductively isolated and rarely interbreed , though no natural obstacles block their mutual access . This includes adjacent populations of Rothschild 's , reticulated , and Masai giraffes . The Masai giraffe was also suggested to consist of possibly two species separated by the Rift Valley . Reticulated and Masai giraffes have the highest mtDNA diversity , which is consistent with giraffes originating in eastern Africa . Populations further north are more closely related to the former , while those to the south are more related to the latter . Giraffes appear to select mates of the same coat type , which are imprinted on them as calves . The implications of these findings for the conservation of giraffes were summarised by David Brown , lead author of the study , who told BBC News : `` Lumping all giraffes into one species obscures the reality that some kinds of giraffe are on the brink . Some of these populations number only a few hundred individuals and need immediate protection . '' A 2011 study using detailed analyses of the morphology of giraffes , and application of the phylogenetic species concept , described eight species of living giraffes . The eight species are : G. angolensis , G. antiquorum , G. camelopardalis , G. giraffa , G. peralta , G. reticulata , G. thornicrofti , and G. tippelskirchi . A 2016 study also concluded that living giraffes consist of multiple species . The researchers suggested the existence of four species , which have not exchanged genetic information between each other for 1 million to 2 million years . Those four species are the northern giraffe ( G. camelopardalis ) , southern giraffe ( G. giraffa ) , reticulated giraffe ( G. reticulata ) , and Masai giraffe ( G. tippelskirchi ) . Since then , a response to this publication has been published , highlighting seven problems in data interpretation , and concludes `` the conclusions should not be accepted unconditionally '' . There are an estimated 90,000 individuals of Giraffa in the wild , with 1,144 currently in captivity . There are also seven extinct species of giraffe , listed as the following : † Giraffa gracilis † Giraffa jumae † Giraffa priscilla † Giraffa punjabiensis † Giraffa pygmaea † Giraffa sivalensis † Giraffa stillei G. attica , also extinct , was formerly considered part of Giraffa but was reclassified as Bohlinia attica in 1929 . Species and subspecies of giraffe One species taxonomy Four species taxonomy Eight species taxonomy Description Image Giraffe ( G. camelopardalis ) Northern giraffe ( G. camelopardalis ) Kordofan giraffe ( G. antiquorum ) The Kordofan giraffe ( G. c. antiquorum ) has a distribution which includes southern Chad , the Central African Republic , northern Cameroon , and north - eastern DR Congo . Populations in Cameroon were formerly included in G. c. peralta , but this was incorrect . Compared to the Nubian giraffe , this subspecies has smaller and more irregular spotting patterns . Its spots may be found below the hocks and the insides of the legs . A median lump is present in males . Some 2,000 are believed to remain in the wild . Considerable confusion has existed over the status of this species and G. c. peralta in zoos . In 2007 , all alleged G. c. peralta in European zoos were shown to be , in fact , G. c. antiquorum . With this correction , about 65 are kept in zoos . The formerly recognised subspecies G. c. congoesis is now considered part of Kordofan species . Nubian giraffe including Rothschild 's giraffe ( G. camelopardalis ) also known as Baringo giraffe or Ugandan giraffe The Nubian giraffe ( G. c. camelopardalis ) , is found in eastern South Sudan and south - western Ethiopia , in addition to Kenya and Uganda . It has sharply defined chestnut - coloured spots surrounded by mostly white lines , while undersides lack spotting . The median lump is particularly developed in the male . Around 2,150 are thought to remain in the wild , with another 1,500 individuals belonging to the Rothschild ecotype . With the addition of Rothschild 's giraffe to the Nubian subspecies , the Nubian giraffe is very common in captivity , although the original phenotype is rare - a group is kept at Al Ain Zoo in the United Arab Emirates . In 2003 , this group numbered 14 . The Rothschild 's giraffe ( G. c. rothschildi ) may be an ecotype of G. camelopardalis . Its range includes parts of Uganda and Kenya . Its presence in South Sudan is uncertain . This giraffe has large dark patches that usually have complete margins , but may also have sharp edges . The dark spots may also have paler radiating lines or streaks within them . Spotting does not often reach below the hocks and almost never to the hooves . This ecotype may also develop five `` horns '' . Around 1,500 individuals believed to remain in the wild , and more than 450 are kept in zoos . According to genetic analysis circa September 2016 , it is conspecific with the Nubian giraffe ( G. c. camelopardalis ) . West African giraffe ( G. peralta ) , also known as Niger giraffe or Nigerian giraffe The West African giraffe ( G. c. peralta ) is endemic to south - western Niger . This animal has a lighter pelage than other subspecies , with red lobe - shaped blotches that reach below the hocks . The ossicones are more erect than in other subspecies and males have well - developed median lumps . It is the most endangered subspecies within Giraffa , with 400 individuals remaining in the wild . Giraffes in Cameroon were formerly believed to belong to this species , but are actually G. c. antiquorum . This error resulted in some confusion over its status in zoos , but in 2007 , it was established that all `` G. c. peralta '' kept in European zoos actually are G. c. antiquorum . The same 2007 study found that The West African giraffe was more closely related to the Rothchild 's giraffe than the Kordofan and its ancestor may have migrated from eastern to northern Africa and then to its current range with the development of the Sahara Desert . At its largest , Lake Chad may have acted as a barrier between West African and Kordofan giraffes during the Holocene ( before 5000 BC ) . Reticulated giraffe ( G. reticulata ) , also known as Somali giraffe The reticulated giraffe ( G. c. reticulata ) is native to north - eastern Kenya , southern Ethiopia , and Somalia . Its distinctive coat pattern consists of sharp - edged , reddish brown polygonal patches divided by a network of thin white lines . Spots may or may not extend below the hocks , and a median lump is present in males . An estimated 8,660 individuals remain in the wild , and based on International Species Information System records , more than 450 are kept in zoos . Southern giraffe ( G. giraffa ) Angolan giraffe ( G. angolensis ) , also known as Namibian giraffe The Angolan giraffe ( G. c. angolensis ) is found in northern Namibia , south - western Zambia , Botswana , and western Zimbabwe . A 2009 genetic study on this subspecies suggested the northern Namib Desert and Etosha National Park populations form a separate subspecies . This species has large brown blotches with edges that are either somewhat notched or have angular extensions . The spotting pattern extends throughout the legs but not the upper part of the face . The neck and rump patches tend to be fairly small . The species also has a white ear patch . An estimated 13,000 animals are estimated to remain in the wild ; and about 20 are kept in zoos . South African giraffe ( G. giraffa ) also known as Cape giraffe The South African giraffe ( G. c. giraffa ) is found in northern South Africa , southern Botswana , southern Zimbabwe , and south - western Mozambique . It has dark , somewhat rounded patches `` with some fine projections '' on a tawny background colour . The spots extend down the legs and get smaller . The median lump of males is less developed . A maximum of 31,500 are estimated to remain in the wild , and around 45 are kept in zoos . Masai giraffe ( G. tippelskirchi ) Masai giraffe ( G. tippelskirchi ) , also known as Kilimanjaro giraffe The Masai giraffe ( G. c. tippelskirchi ) can be found in central and southern Kenya and in Tanzania . It has distinctive , irregular , jagged , star - like blotches which extend to the hooves . A median lump is usually present in males . A total of 32,550 are thought to remain in the wild , and about 100 are kept in zoos . Thornicroft 's giraffe ( `` G. thornicrofti '' , after Harry Scott Thornicroft ) , also known as Luangwa giraffe , or Rhodesian giraffe The Thornicroft 's giraffe ( G. c. thornicrofti ) is restricted to the Luangwa Valley in eastern Zambia . The patches are notched and somewhat star - shaped , and may or may not extend across the legs . The median lump of males is underdeveloped . No more than 550 remain in the wild , with none kept in zoos . Appearance and anatomy Wikimedia Commons has media related to Giraffa camelopardalis anatomy . Closeup of the head of a giraffe at the Melbourne Zoo Giraffe skeleton on display at the Museum of Osteology , Oklahoma City , Oklahoma Right hind leg of a Masai giraffe at San Diego Zoo Fully grown giraffes stand 4.3 -- 5.7 m ( 14.1 -- 18.7 ft ) tall , with males taller than females . The tallest recorded male was 5.88 m ( 19.3 ft ) and the tallest recorded female was 5.17 m ( 17.0 ft ) tall . The average weight is 1,192 kg ( 2,628 lb ) for an adult male and 828 kg ( 1,825 lb ) for an adult female with maximum weights of 1,930 kg ( 4,250 lb ) and 1,180 kg ( 2,600 lb ) having been recorded for males and females , respectively . Despite its long neck and legs , the giraffe 's body is relatively short . Located at both sides of the head , the giraffe 's large , bulging eyes give it good all - round vision from its great height . Giraffes see in colour and their senses of hearing and smell are also sharp . The animal can close its muscular nostrils to protect against sandstorms and ants . The giraffe 's prehensile tongue is about 45 cm ( 18 in ) long . It is purplish - black in colour , perhaps to protect against sunburn , and is useful for grasping foliage , as well as for grooming and cleaning the animal 's nose . The upper lip of the giraffe is also prehensile and useful when foraging and is covered in hair to protect against thorns . The tongue , and inside of the mouth are covered in papillae . Play media ( video ) A pair of giraffes at Tobu Zoo , in Saitama , Japan The coat has dark blotches or patches ( which can be orange , chestnut , brown , or nearly black in colour ) separated by light hair ( usually white or cream in colour ) . Male giraffes become darker as they age . The coat pattern has been claimed to serve as camouflage in the light and shade patterns of savannah woodlands . While adult giraffes standing among trees and bushes are hard to see at even a few metres ' distance , they actively move into the open to gain the best view of an approaching predator , obviating any benefit that camouflage might bring . Instead , the adults rely on their size and ability to defend themselves . However , camouflage appears to be important for calves , which spend a large part of the day in hiding , away from their mothers ; further , over half of all calves die within a year , so predation is certainly important . It appears , therefore , that the spotted coat of the giraffe functions as camouflage for the young , while adults simply inherit this coloration as a by - product . The skin underneath the dark areas may serve as windows for thermoregulation , being sites for complex blood vessel systems and large sweat glands . Each individual giraffe has a unique coat pattern . The skin of a giraffe is mostly gray . Its thickness allows the animal to run through thorn bush without being punctured . The fur may serve as a chemical defence , as its parasite repellents give the animal a characteristic scent . At least 11 main aromatic chemicals are in the fur , although indole and 3 - methylindole are responsible for most of the smell . Because the males have a stronger odour than the females , the odour may also have sexual function . Along the animal 's neck is a mane made of short , erect hairs . The one - metre ( 3.3 - ft ) tail ends in a long , dark tuft of hair and is used as a defense against insects . Skull and ossicones Both sexes have prominent horn - like structures called ossicones , which are formed from ossified cartilage , covered in skin and fused to the skull at the parietal bones . Being vascularized , the ossicones may have a role in thermoregulation , and are also used in combat between males . Appearance is a reliable guide to the sex or age of a giraffe : the ossicones of females and young are thin and display tufts of hair on top , whereas those of adult males end in knobs and tend to be bald on top . Also , a median lump , which is more prominent in males , emerges at the front of the skull . Males develop calcium deposits that form bumps on their skulls as they age . A giraffe 's skull is lightened by multiple sinuses . However , as males age , their skulls become heavier and more club - like , helping them become more dominant in combat . The upper jaw has a grooved palate and lacks front teeth . The giraffe 's molars have a rough surface . Legs , locomotion and posture The front and back legs of a giraffe are about the same length . The radius and ulna of the front legs are articulated by the carpus , which , while structurally equivalent to the human wrist , functions as a knee . It appears that a suspensory ligament allows the lanky legs to support the animal 's great weight . The foot of the giraffe reaches a diameter of 30 cm ( 12 in ) , and the hoof is 15 cm ( 5.9 in ) high in males and 10 cm ( 3.9 in ) in females . The rear of each hoof is low and the fetlock is close to the ground , allowing the foot to provide additional support to the animal 's weight . Giraffes lack dewclaws and interdigital glands . The giraffe 's pelvis , though relatively short , has an ilium that is outspread at the upper ends . A giraffe has only two gaits : walking and galloping . Walking is done by moving the legs on one side of the body at the same time , then doing the same on the other side . When galloping , the hind legs move around the front legs before the latter move forward , and the tail will curl up . The animal relies on the forward and backward motions of its head and neck to maintain balance and the counter momentum while galloping . The giraffe can reach a sprint speed of up to 60 km / h ( 37 mph ) , and can sustain 50 km / h ( 31 mph ) for several kilometres . A giraffe rests by lying with its body on top of its folded legs . To lie down , the animal kneels on its front legs and then lowers the rest of its body . To get back up , it first gets on its knees and spreads its hind legs to raise its hindquarters . It then straightens its front legs . With each step , the animal swings its head . In captivity , the giraffe sleeps intermittently around 4.6 hours per day , mostly at night . It usually sleeps lying down , however , standing sleeps have been recorded , particularly in older individuals . Intermittent short `` deep sleep '' phases while lying are characterised by the giraffe bending its neck backwards and resting its head on the hip or thigh , a position believed to indicate paradoxical sleep . If the giraffe wants to bend down to drink , it either spreads its front legs or bends its knees . Giraffes would probably not be competent swimmers as their long legs would be highly cumbersome in the water , although they could possibly float . When swimming , the thorax would be weighed down by the front legs , making it difficult for the animal to move its neck and legs in harmony or keep its head above the surface . Neck The giraffe ( right ) and its close relative the okapi ( left ) both have seven cervical vertebrae The giraffe has an extremely elongated neck , which can be up to 2 -- 2.4 m ( 6.6 -- 7.9 ft ) in length , accounting for much of the animal 's vertical height . The long neck results from a disproportionate lengthening of the cervical vertebrae , not from the addition of more vertebrae . Each cervical vertebra is over 28 cm ( 11 in ) long . They comprise 52 -- 54 per cent of the length of the giraffe 's vertebral column , compared with the 27 -- 33 percent typical of similar large ungulates , including the giraffe 's closest living relative , the okapi . This elongation largely takes place after birth , perhaps because giraffe mothers would have a difficult time giving birth to young with the same neck proportions as adults . The giraffe 's head and neck are held up by large muscles and a strengthened nuchal ligament , which are anchored by long dorsal spines on the anterior thoracic vertebrae , giving the animal a hump . Adult male reticulated giraffe feeding high up on an acacia , in Kenya The giraffe 's neck vertebrae have ball and socket joints . In particular , the atlas -- axis joint ( C1 and C2 ) allows the animal to tilt its head vertically and reach more branches with the tongue . The point of articulation between the cervical and thoracic vertebrae of giraffes is shifted to lie between the first and second thoracic vertebrae ( T1 and T2 ) , unlike most other ruminants where the articulation is between the seventh cervical vertebra ( C7 ) and T1 . This allows C7 to contribute directly to increased neck length and has given rise to the suggestion that T1 is actually C8 , and that giraffes have added an extra cervical vertebra . However , this proposition is not generally accepted , as T1 has other morphological features , such as an articulating rib , deemed diagnostic of thoracic vertebrae , and because exceptions to the mammalian limit of seven cervical vertebrae are generally characterised by increased neurological anomalies and maladies . There are several hypotheses regarding the evolutionary origin and maintenance of elongation in giraffe necks . The `` competing browsers hypothesis '' was originally suggested by Charles Darwin and challenged only recently . It suggests that competitive pressure from smaller browsers , such as kudu , steenbok and impala , encouraged the elongation of the neck , as it enabled giraffes to reach food that competitors could not . This advantage is real , as giraffes can and do feed up to 4.5 m ( 15 ft ) high , while even quite large competitors , such as kudu , can feed up to only about 2 m ( 6 ft 7 in ) high . There is also research suggesting that browsing competition is intense at lower levels , and giraffes feed more efficiently ( gaining more leaf biomass with each mouthful ) high in the canopy . However , scientists disagree about just how much time giraffes spend feeding at levels beyond the reach of other browsers , and a 2010 study found that adult giraffes with longer necks actually suffered higher mortality rates under drought conditions than their shorter - necked counterparts . This study suggests that maintaining a longer neck requires more nutrients , which puts longer - necked giraffes at risk during a food shortage . Another theory , the sexual selection hypothesis , proposes that the long necks evolved as a secondary sexual characteristic , giving males an advantage in `` necking '' contests ( see below ) to establish dominance and obtain access to sexually receptive females . In support of this theory , necks are longer and heavier for males than females of the same age , and the former do not employ other forms of combat . However , one objection is that it fails to explain why female giraffes also have long necks . It has also been proposed that the neck serves to give the animal greater vigilance . Internal systems Reticulated giraffe bending down to drink , in Kenya . The circulatory system is adapted to deal with blood flow rushing down its neck . In mammals , the left recurrent laryngeal nerve is longer than the right ; in the giraffe it is over 30 cm ( 12 in ) longer . These nerves are longer in the giraffe than in any other living animal ; the left nerve is over 2 m ( 6 ft 7 in ) long . Each nerve cell in this path begins in the brainstem and passes down the neck along the vagus nerve , then branches off into the recurrent laryngeal nerve which passes back up the neck to the larynx . Thus , these nerve cells have a length of nearly 5 m ( 16 ft ) in the largest giraffes . The structure of a giraffe 's brain resembles that of domestic cattle . It is kept cool by evaporative heat loss in the nasal passages . The shape of the skeleton gives the giraffe a small lung volume relative to its mass . Its long neck gives it a large amount of dead space , in spite of its narrow windpipe . These factors increase the resistance to airflow . Nevertheless , the animal can still supply enough oxygen to its tissues and it can increase its respiratory rate and oxygen diffusion when running . Giraffe 's snout while drinking The circulatory system of the giraffe has several adaptations for its great height . Its heart , which can weigh more than 11 kg ( 25 lb ) and measures about 60 cm ( 2 ft ) long , must generate approximately double the blood pressure required for a human to maintain blood flow to the brain . As such , the wall of the heart can be as thick as 7.5 cm ( 3.0 in ) . Giraffes have unusually high heart rates for their size , at 150 beats per minute . When the animal lowers its head the blood rushes down fairly unopposed and a rete mirabile in the upper neck , with its large cross sectional area , prevents excess blood flow to the brain . When it raises again , the blood vessels constrict and direct blood into the brain so the animal does not faint . The jugular veins contain several ( most commonly seven ) valves to prevent blood flowing back into the head from the inferior vena cava and right atrium while the head is lowered . Conversely , the blood vessels in the lower legs are under great pressure because of the weight of fluid pressing down on them . To solve this problem , the skin of the lower legs is thick and tight ; preventing too much blood from pouring into them . Giraffes have oesophageal muscles that are unusually strong to allow regurgitation of food from the stomach up the neck and into the mouth for rumination . They have four chambered stomachs , as in all ruminants , and the first chamber has adapted to their specialised diet . The intestines of an adult giraffe measure more than 70 m ( 230 ft ) in length and have a relatively small ratio of small to large intestine . The liver of the giraffe is small and compact . A gallbladder is generally present during fetal life , but it may disappear before birth . Behaviour and Ecology. Habitat and feeding A Masai giraffe extending its tongue to feed , in Tanzania . Its tongue , lips and palate are tough enough to deal with sharp thorns in trees . Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and open woodlands . They prefer Acacieae , Commiphora , Combretum and open Terminalia woodlands over denser environments like Brachystegia woodlands . The Angolan giraffe can be found in desert environments . Giraffes browse on the twigs of trees , preferring trees of the subfamily Acacieae and the genera Commiphora and Terminalia , which are important sources of calcium and protein to sustain the giraffe 's growth rate . They also feed on shrubs , grass and fruit . A giraffe eats around 34 kg ( 75 lb ) of foliage daily . When stressed , giraffes may chew the bark off branches . Although herbivorous , the giraffe has been known to visit carcasses and lick dried meat off bones . During the wet season , food is abundant and giraffes are more spread out , while during the dry season , they gather around the remaining evergreen trees and bushes . Mothers tend to feed in open areas , presumably to make it easier to detect predators , although this may reduce their feeding efficiency . As a ruminant , the giraffe first chews its food , then swallows it for processing and then visibly passes the half - digested cud up the neck and back into the mouth to chew again . It is common for a giraffe to salivate while feeding . The giraffe requires less food than many other herbivores because the foliage it eats has more concentrated nutrients and it has a more efficient digestive system . The animal 's faeces come in the form of small pellets . When it has access to water , a giraffe drinks at intervals no longer than three days . Giraffes have a great effect on the trees that they feed on , delaying the growth of young trees for some years and giving `` waistlines '' to trees that are too tall . Feeding is at its highest during the first and last hours of daytime . Between these hours , giraffes mostly stand and ruminate . Rumination is the dominant activity during the night , when it is mostly done lying down . Social life Gathering of female southern giraffes in Tswalu Kalahari Reserve , South Africa . These animals commonly gather in herds . Giraffes are usually found in groups . Traditionally , the composition of these groups has been described as open and ever - changing . Giraffes were thought to have few social bonds and for research purposes , a `` group '' has been defined as `` a collection of individuals that are less than a kilometre apart and moving in the same general direction . '' More recent studies have found that giraffes do have long - term social associations and may form groups or pairs based on kinship , sex or other factors . These groups may regularly associate with one another in larger communities or sub-communities within a fission -- fusion society . The number of giraffes in a group can range up to 44 individuals .

Giraffe bursts Giraffe bursts ogg / Vorbis format Problems playing these files ? See media help . Giraffe groups tend to be sex - segregated although mixed - sex groups made of adult females and young males are known to occur . Particularly stable giraffe groups are those made of mothers and their young , which can last weeks or months . Social cohesion in these groups is maintained by the bonds formed between calves . Female association appears to be based on space - use and individuals may be matrilineally related . In general , females are more selective than males in who they associate with in regards to individuals of the same sex . Young males also form groups and will engage in playfights . However , as they get older males become more solitary but may also associate in pairs or with female groups . Giraffes are not territorial , but they have home ranges . Male giraffes occasionally wander far from areas that they normally frequent . Although generally quiet and non-vocal , giraffes have been heard to communicate using various sounds . During courtship , males emit loud coughs . Females call their young by bellowing . Calves will emit snorts , bleats , mooing and mewing sounds . Giraffes also snore , hiss , moan , grunt and make flute - like sounds , and possibly communicate over long distances using infrasound -- though this is disputed . During nighttime , giraffes appear to hum to each other above the infrasound range for purposes which are unclear . Reproduction and parental care Southern giraffes courting ( above ) and mating in Namibia . Generally , only dominant males are able to mate with females . Reproduction in giraffes is broadly polygamous : a few older males mate with the fertile females . Male giraffes assess female fertility by tasting the female 's urine to detect oestrus , in a multi-step process known as the flehmen response . Males prefer young adult females over juveniles and older adults . Once an oestrous female is detected , the male will attempt to court her . When courting , dominant males will keep subordinate ones at bay . A courting male may lick a female 's tail , rest his head and neck on her body or nudge her with his horns . During copulation , the male stands on his hind legs with his head held up and his front legs resting on the female 's sides . Giraffe gestation lasts 400 -- 460 days , after which a single calf is normally born , although twins occur on rare occasions . The mother gives birth standing up . The calf emerges head and front legs first , having broken through the fetal membranes , and falls to the ground , severing the umbilical cord . The mother then grooms the newborn and helps it stand up . A newborn giraffe is 1.7 -- 2 m ( 5.6 -- 6.6 ft ) tall . Within a few hours of birth , the calf can run around and is almost indistinguishable from a one - week - old . However , for the first 1 -- 3 weeks , it spends most of its time hiding ; its coat pattern providing camouflage . The ossicones , which have lain flat while it was in the womb , become erect within a few days . Mother Masai giraffe and calves feeding in Kenya . It is mostly the females that raise young , and they may gather in nursery herds . Mothers with calves will gather in nursery herds , moving or browsing together . Mothers in such a group may sometimes leave their calves with one female while they forage and drink elsewhere . This is known as a `` calving pool '' . Adult males play almost no role in raising the young , although they appear to have friendly interactions . Calves are at risk of predation , and a mother giraffe will stand over her calf and kick at an approaching predator . Females watching calving pools will only alert their own young if they detect a disturbance , although the others will take notice and follow . The length time in which offspring stay with their mother varies , though it can last until the female 's next calving . Likewise , calves may suckle for only a month or as long as a year . Females become sexually mature when they are four years old , while males become mature at four or five years . Spermatogenesis in male giraffes begins at three to four years of age . Males must wait until they are at least seven years old to gain the opportunity to mate . Necking Here , male southern giraffes engage in low intensity necking to establish dominance , in Ithala Game Reserve , Kwa - Zulu - Natal , South Africa . The more active kind of necking , engaged with here by southern giraffes in Namibia . Male giraffes use their necks as weapons in combat , a behaviour known as `` necking '' . Necking is used to establish dominance and males that win necking bouts have greater reproductive success . This behaviour occurs at low or high intensity . In low intensity necking , the combatants rub and lean against each other . The male that can hold itself more erect wins the bout . In high intensity necking , the combatants will spread their front legs and swing their necks at each other , attempting to land blows with their ossicones . The contestants will try to dodge each other 's blows and then get ready to counter . The power of a blow depends on the weight of the skull and the arc of the swing . A necking duel can last more than half an hour , depending on how well matched the combatants are . Although most fights do not lead to serious injury , there have been records of broken jaws , broken necks , and even deaths . After a duel , it is common for two male giraffes to caress and court each other . Such interactions between males have been found to be more frequent than heterosexual coupling . In one study , up to 94 percent of observed mounting incidents took place between males . The proportion of same - sex activities varied from 30 -- 75 percent . Only one percent of same - sex mounting incidents occurred between females . Mortality and health Lioness seen with an adult Masai giraffe kill Giraffes have high adult survival probability , and an unusually long lifespan compared to other ruminants , up to 25 years in the wild . Because of their size , eyesight and powerful kicks , adult giraffes are usually not subject to predation , aside from lions . Giraffes are the most common prey for the big cats in Kruger National Park . Nile crocodiles can also be a threat to giraffes when they bend down to drink . Calves are much more vulnerable than adults , and are additionally preyed on by leopards , spotted hyenas and wild dogs . A quarter to a half of giraffe calves reach adulthood . Calf survival varies according to the season of birth , with calves born during the dry season having higher survival rates . The local , seasonal presence of large herds of migratory wildebeests and zebras reduces predation pressure on giraffe calves and increases their survival probability . Some parasites feed on giraffes . They are often hosts for ticks , especially in the area around the genitals , which has thinner skin than other areas . Tick species that commonly feed on giraffes are those of genera Hyalomma , Amblyomma and Rhipicephalus . Giraffes may rely on red - billed and yellow - billed oxpeckers to clean them of ticks and alert them to danger . Giraffes host numerous species of internal parasite and are susceptible to various diseases . They were victims of the ( now eradicated ) viral illness rinderpest . Giraffes can also suffer from a skin disorder , which comes in the form of wrinkles , lesions or raw fissures . In Tanzania , it appears to be caused by a nematode , and may be further affected by secondary infections . As much as 79 % of giraffes show signs of the disease in Ruaha National Park , but is less prevalent in areas with fertile soils . Relationship with humans San rock art in Namibia depicting a giraffe Humans have interacted with giraffes for millennia . The San people of southern Africa have medicine dances named after some animals ; the giraffe dance is performed to treat head ailments . How the giraffe got its height has been the subject of various African folktales , including one from eastern Africa which explains that the giraffe grew tall from eating too many magic herbs . Giraffes were depicted in art throughout the African continent , including that of the Kiffians , Egyptians and Meroë Nubians . The Kiffians were responsible for a life - size rock engraving of two giraffes that has been called the `` world 's largest rock art petroglyph '' . The Egyptians gave the giraffe its own hieroglyph , named ' sr ' in Old Egyptian and ' mmy ' in later periods . They also kept giraffes as pets and shipped them around the Mediterranean . Painting of a giraffe imported to China during the Ming dynasty The giraffe was also known to the Greeks and Romans , who believed that it was an unnatural hybrid of a camel and a leopard and called it camelopardalis . The giraffe was among the many animals collected and displayed by the Romans . The first one in Rome was brought in by Julius Caesar in 46 BC and exhibited to the public . With the fall of the Western Roman Empire , the housing of giraffes in Europe declined . During the Middle Ages , giraffes were known to Europeans through contact with the Arabs , who revered the giraffe for its peculiar appearance . Individual captive giraffes were given celebrity status throughout history . In 1414 , a giraffe was shipped from Malindi to Bengal . It was then taken to China by explorer Zheng He and placed in a Ming dynasty zoo . The animal was a source of fascination for the Chinese people , who associated it with the mythical Qilin . The Medici giraffe was a giraffe presented to Lorenzo de ' Medici in 1486 . It caused a great stir on its arrival in Florence . Zarafa , another famous giraffe , was brought from Egypt to Paris in the early 19th century as a gift from Muhammad Ali of Egypt to Charles X of France . A sensation , the giraffe was the subject of numerous memorabilia or `` giraffanalia '' . Giraffes continue to have a presence in modern culture . Salvador Dalí depicted them with burning manes in some of his surrealist paintings . Dali considered the giraffe to be a symbol of masculinity , and a flaming giraffe was meant to be a `` masculine cosmic apocalyptic monster '' . Several children 's books feature the giraffe , including David A. Ufer 's The Giraffe Who Was Afraid of Heights , Giles Andreae 's Giraffes Ca n't Dance and Roald Dahl 's The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me . Giraffes have appeared in animated films , as minor characters in Disney 's The Lion King and Dumbo , and in more prominent roles in The Wild and in the Madagascar films . Sophie the Giraffe has been a popular teether since 1961 . Another famous fictional giraffe is the Toys `` R '' Us mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe . The giraffe has also been used for some scientific experiments and discoveries . Scientists have looked at the properties of giraffe skin when developing suits for astronauts and fighter pilots because the people in these professions are in danger of passing out if blood rushes to their legs . Computer scientists have modeled the coat patterns of several subspecies using reaction -- diffusion mechanisms . The constellation of Camelopardalis , introduced in the seventeenth century , depicts a giraffe . The Tswana people of Botswana traditionally see the constellation Crux as two giraffes -- Acrux and Mimosa forming a male , and Gacrux and Delta Crucis forming the female . Exploitation and Conservation status Masai giraffe killed by tribesmen in German East Africa during the early 20th century Giraffes were probably common targets for hunters throughout Africa . Different parts of their bodies were used for different purposes . Their meat was used for food . The tail hairs served as flyswatters , bracelets , necklaces and thread . Shields , sandals and drums were made using the skin , and the strings of musical instruments were from the tendons . The smoke from burning giraffe skins was used by the medicine men of Buganda to treat nose bleeds . The Humr people of Sudan consume the drink Umm Nyolokh ; which is created from the liver and marrow of giraffes . Umm Nyolokh often contains DMT and other psychoactive substances from plants the giraffes eat such as Acacia ; and is known to cause hallucinations of giraffes , believed to be the giraffes ' ghosts by the Humr . In the 19th century , European explorers began to hunt them for sport . Habitat destruction has hurt the giraffe , too : in the Sahel , the need for firewood and grazing room for livestock has led to deforestation . Normally , giraffes can coexist with livestock , since they do not directly compete with them . In 2017 , severe droughts in northern Kenya have led to increased tensions over land and the killing of wildlife by herders , with giraffe populations being particularly hit . Aerial survey is the most common method of monitoring giraffe population trends in the vast roadless tracts of African landscapes , but aerial methods are known to undercount giraffes . Ground - based survey methods are more accurate and should be used in conjunction with aerial surveys to make accurate estimates of population sizes and trends . In 2010 , giraffes were assessed as Least Concern from a conservation perspective by the International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN ) , but the 2016 assessment categorized giraffes as Vulnerable . Giraffes have been extirpated from much of their historic range including Eritrea , Guinea , Mauritania and Senegal . They may also have disappeared from Angola , Mali , and Nigeria , but have been introduced to Rwanda and Swaziland . Two subspecies , the West African giraffe and the Rothschild giraffe , have been classified as endangered , as wild populations of each of them number in the hundreds . In 1997 , Jonathan Kingdon suggested that the Nubian giraffe was the most threatened of all giraffes ; as of 2010 , it may number fewer than 250 , although this estimate is uncertain . Private game reserves have contributed to the preservation of giraffe populations in southern Africa . Giraffe Manor is a popular hotel in Nairobi that also serves as sanctuary for Rothschild 's giraffes . The giraffe is a protected species in most of its range . It is the national animal of Tanzania , and is protected by law . Unauthorised killing can result in imprisonment . The UN backed Convention of Migratory Species selected giraffes for protection in 2017 . In 1999 , it was estimated that over 140,000 giraffes existed in the wild , estimations as of 2016 indicate that there are approximately 97,500 members of Giraffa in the wild , down from 155,000 in 1985 , with around 1,144 in captivity .

"In 1997, Jonathan Kingdon suggested that the Nubian giraffe was the most threatened of all giraffes;[4] as of 2010[update], it may number fewer than 250, although this estimate is uncertain. Private game reserves have contributed to the preservation of giraffe populations in southern Africa.[46] Giraffe Manor is a popular hotel in Nairobi that also serves as sanctuary for Rothschild's giraffes.[117] The giraffe is a protected species in most of its range. It is the national animal of Tanzania,[118] and is protected by law.[119] Unauthorised killing can result in imprisonment.[120] The UN backed Convention of Migratory Species selected giraffes for protection in 2017.[121] In 1999, it was estimated that over 140,000 giraffes existed in the wild,[34] estimations as of 2016 indicate that there are approximately 97,500 members of Giraffa in the wild, down from 155,000 in 1985, with around 1,144 in captivity.[122][123][full citation needed]"

There are currently four teams that reside in the division : the Buffalo Bills ( based in Orchard Park , New York ) ; the Miami Dolphins ( based in Miami Gardens , Florida ) ; the New England Patriots ( based in Foxborough , Massachusetts ) ; and the New York Jets ( based in East Rutherford , New Jersey ) . Since the division 's enfranchisement in 1960 , with the creation of the American Football League , the division has been represented in nineteen Super Bowls and won eight of them . The most recent appearance in the Super Bowl by an AFC East team was the Patriots in Super Bowl LII . Entering 2017 the Patriots had the most wins in the division 's history , with a record of 476 - 383 - 9 , with a playoff record of 32 - 19 ( 5 - 4 in Super Bowls ) entering the playoffs of that season . The Dolphins were second at 439 - 341 - 4 ( having played 84 fewer games than their division rivals ) with a playoff record of 20 - 21 ( 2 - 3 in Super Bowls ) . The Bills were at 400 - 460 - 8 with a playoff record of 14 - 15 ( with two American Football League titles ) and 0 - 4 in four consecutive Super Bowls . The Jets held a record of 392 - 468 - 8 , with a playoff record of 12 - 13 including victory in Super Bowl III . In 2012 , the Patriots broke a tie with the Dolphins for winning the most division titles ; with subsequent division titles in 2013 , 2014 , 2015 , 2016 , and 2017 the Patriots have won 20 AFL / AFC East division titles to Miami 's 14 . The Bills have won ten division titles , and the Jets have won four . Two teams formerly in the division combined for ten AFL / AFC East titles -- the Houston Oilers ( now the Tennessee Titans ) won four division titles ( and the 1960 and 1961 league titles ) during the AFL era while the Baltimore -- Indianapolis Colts won six division titles ( and Super Bowl V ) in the 32 seasons they were in the division . Contents ( hide ) 1 AFL Eastern Division 2 Division lineups 3 Division champions 4 Wildcard Qualifiers 5 Total playoff berths while in the AFL / AFC East 6 See also 7 References AFL Eastern division ( edit ) The American Football League Eastern Division was formed during the inaugural season of the American Football League in 1960 , as a counterpart to the AFL Western Division . The divisional alignment consisted of the Buffalo Bills , Boston Patriots , New York Titans and Houston Oilers . The Miami Dolphins entered the AFL in 1966 as part of its Eastern division . Locale of the current 4 AFC East teams The division was absorbed nearly intact with the AFL -- NFL merger in 1970 , but Houston was moved to the AFC Central ( formerly the NFL Century Division , now the AFC North ) and replaced by the closer Baltimore Colts ( from the NFL Coastal Division , which became the NFC West ) . Despite relocating to Indianapolis , Indiana in 1984 , the Colts continued to play in the AFC East until NFL expansion from 31 to 32 teams with the addition of the Houston Texans ( successor club in Houston to the Oilers ) and 2002 re-alignment when they were moved to the AFC South ( the successor franchise to the Oilers , the Tennessee Titans , is also in the AFC South ) . Although Miami is farther south than the home cities of the other three teams , all of which are in the Northeast , all four AFC East teams have historical rivalries among them , dating from their years in the AFL during the 1960s . None of the AFC East teams currently plays within the central city of their metropolitan area : The Bills play in Orchard Park , New York . They played in the city of Buffalo from 1960 -- 72 . The Jets play in East Rutherford , New Jersey ( they played in the New York City borough of Manhattan from 1960 -- 63 , and in the borough of Queens from 1964 -- 83 ) The Dolphins play in Miami Gardens , Florida , a suburb of Miami ( Miami Gardens was separated from the city itself and incorporated in 2003 ) The Patriots play in Foxborough , Massachusetts ( they played in Boston , the largest city in New England , until 1970 and adopted their current name in 1971 when they moved into what eventually became known as Foxboro Stadium ) . All of the teams are or were coached by a first or second generation member of the Bill Parcells coaching tree : the Patriots have Bill Belichick ; the Dolphins had Tony Sparano ; the Jets had Eric Mangini ( who served as an assistant with both Belichick and Parcells ) ; and the Bills had Dick Jauron ( fired on November 17 , 2009 ) , who served as an assistant with former Parcells assistant Tom Coughlin . The Jets are now coached by Todd Bowles and the Bills were coached by Rex Ryan for 31 games ( the entire 2015 - 16 season , and he was fired before the last game of the 2016 - 17 season and replaced with interim Head Coach Anthony Lynn ) . Parcells himself coached the Patriots ( 1993 -- 6 ) and the Jets ( 1997 -- 9 ) and was Vice President of Football Operations for the Dolphins until the summer of 2010 . ESPN 's Chris Berman often calls this division the `` AFC Adams '' due to its geographical similarity to the old Adams Division of the NHL , now succeeded by the Atlantic Division . Along with the AFC ( formerly AFL ) West , the AFC East is the oldest NFL division in terms of creation date ( 1960 ) .

9036143649199351238 | Magic 8-Ball | Magic 8 - ball - Wikipedia Magic 8 - ball Jump to : navigation , search Magic 8 - Ball Type Novelty toy Inventor Albert Carter Abe Bookman Company Mattel Availability 1950 -- present Materials Plastic Alcohol Blue dye Official website The Magic 8 - Ball is a toy used for fortune - telling or seeking advice , developed in the 1950s and manufactured by Mattel . It is often used in fiction since the answer can sometimes be accurate , inaccurate , or statistically improbable . Contents ( hide ) 1 Origin 2 Design 3 Possible answers 4 See also 5 References 5.1 Patents 6 External links Origin ( edit ) An 8 - ball was used as a fortune - telling device in the 1940 Three Stooges short , You Nazty Spy ! , and called a `` magic ball '' . While Magic 8 - Ball did not exist in its current form until 1950 , the functional component was invented by Albert C. Carter , inspired by a spirit writing device used by his mother , Mary , a Cincinnati clairvoyant . When Carter approached store owner Max Levinson about stocking the device , Levinson called in his brother - in - law Abe Bookman , a graduate of Ohio Mechanics Institute . In 1944 , Carter filed for a patent for the cylindrical device , assigning it in 1946 to Bookman , Levinson , and another partner in what came to be Alabe Crafts , Inc . ( Albert and Abe ) . Alabe marketed and sold the cylinder as The Syco - Seer . Carter died sometime before the patent was granted in 1948 . Bookman made improvements to The Syco - Seer , and in 1948 , it was encased in an iridescent crystal ball . Though unsuccessful , the revamped product caught the attention of Chicago 's Brunswick Billiards . In 1950 they commissioned Alabe Crafts to make a version in the form of a traditional black - and - white 8 - ball . Design ( edit ) The Magic 8 - Ball is a hollow plastic sphere resembling an oversized , black - and - white 8 - ball . Inside , a cylindrical reservoir contains a white , plastic icosahedron floating in alcohol dyed dark blue . Each of the die 's 20 faces has an affirmative , negative , or non-committal statement printed in raised letters . These messages are read through a window on the ball 's bottom . To use the ball , it must be held with the window initially facing down . After `` asking the ball '' a yes - no question , the user then turns the ball so that the window faces up , setting in motion the liquid and die inside . When the die floats to the top and one face presses against the window , the raised letters displace the blue liquid to reveal the message as white letters on a blue background . Although many users shake the ball before turning it upright , the instructions warn against doing so to avoid white bubbles , which interfere with the performance of the ball itself . Possible answers ( edit ) The 20 answers inside a standard Magic 8 - Ball are : It is certain It is decidedly so Without a doubt Yes definitely You may rely on it As I see it , yes Most likely Outlook good Yep Signs point to yes Reply hazy try again Ask again later Better not tell you now Cannot predict now Concentrate and ask again Do n't count on it My reply is no My sources say no Outlook not so good Very doubtful Ten of the possible answers are affirmative ( ) , while five are non-committal ( ) and five are negative ( ) .

In short , many in those colonies believed that , as they were not directly represented in the distant British Parliament , any laws it passed affecting the colonists ( such as the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act ) were illegal under the Bill of Rights 1689 , and were a denial of their rights as Englishmen . Jonathan Mayhew , Old West Church 's second Congregational pastor , used the phrase , `` No Taxation Without Representation '' in a sermon in 1750 . The phrase revives a sentiment central to the cause of the English Civil War following the refusal of parliamentarian John Hampden to pay ship money tax . `` No Taxation Without Representation , '' in the context of British American Colonial taxation , appeared for the first time in the February 1768 London Magazine headline , on page 89 , in the printing of Lord Camden 's `` Speech on the Declaratory Bill of the Sovereignty of Great Britain over the Colonies .

By the 1760s , the Americans were being deprived of a historic right . The English Bill of Rights 1689 had forbidden the imposition of taxes without the consent of Parliament . Since the colonists had no representation in Parliament , the taxes violated the guaranteed Rights of Englishmen . Parliament initially contended that the colonists had virtual representation , but the idea `` found little support on either side of the Atlantic '' . John Dunmore Lang wrote in 1852 , `` The person who first suggested the idea ( of Parliamentary representation for the colonies ) appears to have been Oldmixon , an American annalist of the era of Queen Anne or George I. It was afterwards put forward with approbation by the celebrated Dr. Adam Smith , and advocated for a time , but afterwards rejected and strongly opposed , by Dr. Benjamin Franklin . '' The eloquent 1768 Petition , Memorial , and Remonstrance objecting to taxation , written by the Virginia House of Burgesses and endorsed by every other Colony , was sent to the British Government , which seems to have ignored it . American Revolution ( edit ) Main article : American Revolution Bronze sculpture of James Otis , Jr stands in front of the Barnstable County Courthouse . The phrase had been used for more than a generation in Ireland . By 1765 , the term was in use in Boston , and local politician James Otis was most famously associated with the phrase , `` taxation without representation is tyranny . '' In the course of the Revolutionary era ( 1750 -- 1783 ) , many arguments were pursued that sought to resolve the dispute surrounding Parliamentary sovereignty , taxation , self - governance and representation . Representative proposals before 1776 ( edit ) In the course of the 1760s and 1770s , William Pitt the Elder , Sir William Pulteney , and George Grenville , amongst other prominent Britons and colonial Americans , such as Joseph Galloway , James Otis Jr. , Benjamin Franklin , John Adams , the London Quaker Thomas Crowley , Royal Governors such as Thomas Pownall M.P. , William Franklin , Sir Francis Bernard , and the Attorney - General of Quebec , Francis Maseres , debated and circulated plans for the creation of colonial seats in London , imperial union with Great Britain , or a federally representative British Parliament with powers of taxation that was to consist of American , West Indian , Irish and British Members of Parliament . Despite the fact that these ideas were considered and discussed seriously on both sides of the Atlantic , it appears that neither the American Congress , nor the colonial Assemblies , nor the British Government in Westminster , at least prior to the Carlisle Peace Commission of 1778 , officially proposed such constitutional developments . It must be noted , however , that Governor Thomas Hutchinson apparently referred to a colonial representational proposal when he wrote that , The Assembly of Massachusetts Bay ... was the first which ever took exception to the right of Parliament to impose Duties or Taxes on the Colonies , whilst they had no representatives in the House of Commons . This they did in a letter to their Agent in the summer of 1764 ... And in this letter they recommend to him a pamphlet , wrote by one of their members , in which there are proposals for admitting representatives from the Colonies to fit in the House of Commons ... an American representation is thrown out as an expedient which might obviate the objections to Taxes upon the Colonies , yet ... it was renounced ... by the Assembly of the Colony which first proposed it , as utterly impracticable . Jared Ingersoll Snr. , colonial agent for Connecticut , wrote to his American colleague , the Royal Governor of Connecticut Thomas Fitch , that following Isaac Barre 's famous Parliamentary speech against the Stamp Act in 1764 , Richard Jackson , M.P. , supported Barre and other pro-American M.P.s by producing before the House copies of earlier Acts of Parliament that had admitted Durham and Chester seats upon their petitions for representation . The argument was put forward in Parliament that America ought to have representatives on these grounds too . Richard Jackson supposed that Parliament had a right to tax America , but he much doubted the expediency of the Stamp act . He said if it was necessary , as ministers claimed , to tax the colonies , the latter should be permitted to elect some part of the Parliament , `` otherwise the liberties of America , I do not say will be lost , but will be in danger . '' The Knox - Burke debates ( edit ) William Knox , an aide of George Grenville , pamphleteer and subsequent Irish Under - Secretary of State for the Colonies , received an appointment in 1756 to the American provinces , and after his return to London in 1761 , he recommended the creation of a colonial aristocracy and colonial representation in the British Parliament . He was shortly afterwards appointed agent for Georgia and East Florida , a post which he forfeited by writing in favour of the Stamp Act . In his Grenville - backed pamphlet of 1769 , The Controversy between Great Britain and her Colonies Reviewed , Knox suggested that colonial representatives might have been offered seats in the British Parliament if they had sought such representation . Knox submitted that , whilst ( the radical colonists ) exclaim against Parliament for taxing them when they are not represented , they candidly declare they will not have representatives ( in Parliament ) lest they should be taxed ... The truth ... is that they are determined to get rid of the jurisdiction of Parliament ... and they therefore refuse to send members to that assembly lest they should preclude themselves of ( the ) plea ( that Parliament 's ) legislative acts ... are done without their consent ; which , it must be confessed , holds equally good against all laws , as against taxes ... The colony advocates ... tell us , that by refusing to accept our offer of representatives they ... mean to avoid giving Parliament a pretence for taxing them . Edmund Burke responded to Knox , who had drawn up The Controversy between Great Britain and her Colonies Reviewed as well as The Present State of the Nation ( 1768 ) under the supervision of George Grenville , by opining in his political tract Observations on a Late State of the Nation ( 1769 ) , NOW comes ( Knox 's ) American representation ... Is not the reader a little astonished at the proposal of an American representation from that quarter ( of Grenville 's ) ? It is proposed merely as a project of speculative improvement ; not from the necessity in the case , not to add any thing to the authority of parliament : but that we may afford a greater attention to the concerns of the Americans , and give them a better opportunity of stating their grievances , and of obtaining redress . I am glad to find the author has at length discovered that we have not given a sufficient attention to their concerns , or a proper redress to their grievances . His great friend ( Grenville ) would once have been exceedingly displeased with any person , who should tell him , that he did not attend sufficiently to those concerns . He thought he did so , when he regulated the colonies over and over again : he thought he did so , when he formed two general systems of revenue ; one of port - duties , and the other of internal taxation . These systems supposed , or ought to suppose , the greatest attention to , and the most detailed information of , all their affairs . However , by contending for the American representation , he seems at last driven virtually to admit , that great caution ought to be used in the exercise of all our legislative rights over an object so remote from our eye , and so little connected with our immediate feelings ; that in prudence we ought not to be quite so ready with our taxes , until we can secure the desired representation in parliament . Perhaps it may be some time before this hopeful scheme can be brought to perfect maturity ; although the author seems to be no wise aware of any obstructions that lie in the way of it . While Knox , Grenville and Burke were not necessarily opposed in principle to direct colonial representation in Parliament , Grenville nonetheless conjectured that Parliament retained a constitutional right to virtually represent the colonial subjects . On the American taxation ( edit ) Burke supported the doctrine of virtual representation in Britain . Yet in his Parliamentary speech of 1774 , entitled On American Taxation , Burke responded to the suggestion that America was virtually represented in Parliament by remarking , What ! does the electric force of virtual representation more easily pass over the Atlantic than pervade Wales , which lies in your neighborhood ? or than Chester and Durham , surrounded by abundance of representation that is actual and palpable ? But , Sir , your ancestors thought this sort of virtual representation , however ample , to be totally insufficient for the freedom of the inhabitants of territories that are so near , and comparatively so inconsiderable . How , then , can I think it sufficient for those which are infinitely greater , and infinitely more remote ? You will now , Sir , perhaps imagine that I am on the point of proposing to you a scheme for a representation of the colonies in Parliament . Perhaps I might be inclined to entertain some such thought ; but a great flood stops me in my course . Opposuit Natura . I can not remove the eternal barriers of the creation . The thing , in that mode , I do not know to be possible . As I meddle with no theory , I do not absolutely assert the impracticability of such a representation ; but I do not see my way to it ; and those who have been more confident have not been more successful ... My resolutions , therefore , mean to establish the equity and justice of a taxation of America by grant , and not by imposition ; to mark the legal competency of the colony assemblies for the support of their government in peace , and for public aids in time of war ; to acknowledge that this legal competency has had a dutiful and beneficial exercise , and that experience has shown the benefit of their grants , and the futility of Parliamentary taxation , as a method of supply . However , Burke apparently qualified such remarks concerning America by stating in the same speech that , The Parliament of Great Britain ... is never to intrude into the place of the ( provincial legislatures ) , whilst they are equal to the common ends of their institution . But in order to enable ( Parliamentary ) ... superintendence , her powers must be boundless . The gentlemen who think the powers of Parliament limited may please themselves to talk of requisitions . But suppose the requisitions are not obeyed ? What ! shall there be no reserved power in the empire , to supply a deficiency which may weaken , divide , and dissipate the whole ? We are engaged in war , -- the Secretary of State calls upon the colonies to contribute , -- some would do it , I think most would cheerfully furnish whatever is demanded , -- one or two , suppose , hang back , and , easing themselves , let the stress of the draft lie on the others , -- surely it is proper that some authority might legally say , `` Tax yourselves for the common Supply , or Parliament will do it for you . '' This backwardness was , as I am told , actually the case of Pennsylvania for some short time towards the beginning of the last war , owing to some internal dissensions in that colony . But whether the fact were so or otherwise , the case is equally to be provided for by a competent sovereign power . But then this ought to be no ordinary power , nor ever used in the first instance . This is what I meant , when I have said , at various times , that I consider the power of taxing in Parliament as an instrument of empire , and not as a means of supply . William Pitt the Elder ( edit ) The views of Knox , Grenville and Burke did not go unchallenged : William Pitt was amongst those who disputed that a Parliamentary right or power existed to levy `` internal '' taxes `` for the purposes of raising a revenue '' without the consent of actual representatives of the `` Commons of America '' . `` It is my opinion , '' Pitt said , `` that this kingdom has no right to lay a tax upon the colonies . '' Colonial spokespersons ( edit ) In 1764 , the Massachusetts politician James Otis , Jr. , said that , When the parliament shall think fit to allow the colonists a representation in the house of commons , the equity of their taxing the colonies , will be as clear as their power is at present of doing it without , if they please ... But if it was thought hard that charter privileges should be taken away by act of parliament , is it not much harder to be in part , or in whole , disfranchised of rights , that have been always thought inherent to a British subject , namely , to be free from all taxes , but what he consents to in person , or by his representative ? This right , if it could be traced no higher than Magna Charta , is part of the common law , part of a British subjects birthright , and as inherent and perpetual , as the duty of allegiance ; both which have been brought to these colonies , and have been hitherto held sacred and inviolable , and I hope and trust ever will . It is humbly conceived , that the British colonists ( except only the conquered , if any ) are , by Magna Charta , as well entitled to have a voice in their taxes , as the subjects within the realm . Are we not as really deprived of that right , by the parliament assessing us before we are represented in the house of commons , as if the King should do it by his prerogative ? Can it be said with any colour of truth or justice , that we are represented in parliament ? -- James Otis , Rights of British Colonies Asserted Otis , Jr. , attended the Continental Congress of 1765 along with other colonial delegates . The resolutions of the Congress stated that the Stamp Act had `` a manifest tendency to subvert the rights and liberties of the colonists '' and that `` the only Representatives of the People of these Colonies , are Persons chosen therein by themselves , and that no Taxes ever have been , or can be Constitutionally imposed on them , but by their respective Legislature . '' Furthermore , it was declared that , `` it is unreasonable and inconsistent with the Principles and Spirit of the British Constitution , for the People of Great - Britain , to grant to his Majesty the Property of the Colonists . '' Daniel Dulany , Jr. , of Maryland , wrote in 1765 that , `` the Impropriety of a Taxation by the British Parliament ... ( is proven by ) the Fact , that not one inhabitant in any Colony is , or can be actually or virtually represented by the British House of Commons . '' Dulany , Jr. , denied that Parliament had a right `` to impose an internal Tax upon the Colonies , without their consent for the single Purpose of Revenue . '' In 1766 , Benjamin Franklin told the House of Commons that , `` an internal tax is forced from the people without their consent if not laid by their own representatives . The Stamp Act says we shall have no commerce , make no exchange of property with each other , neither purchase nor grant , nor recover debts ; we shall neither marry nor make our wills , unless we pay such and such sums ; and thus it is intended to extort our money from us or ruin us by the consequence of refusing to pay it . '' Republicanism ( edit ) For those sympathetic to republicanism , such as James Burgh , Catherine Macauley , and Richard Price , any tax revenue measures that were voted into effect without the direct representation of Americans were `` unconstitutional '' and `` pernicious '' . Burgh felt that virtual representation was `` subversive of liberty '' and `` unjust in its principles '' and that the House of Commons must include colonial representatives when it voted on colonial matters , or operate by using the consent of the colonial Assemblies . Heightening of tensions ( edit ) The Americans rejected the Stamp Act of 1765 brought in by British Prime Minister George Grenville , and violently rejected the remaining tax on tea imports , under the Tea Act passed in May 1773 , at the Boston Tea Party on December 16 , 1773 . The Parliament considered this an illegal act because they believed it undermined the authority of the Crown - in - Parliament . When the British then used the military to enforce laws that the colonists believed Parliament had passed illegally , the colonists responded by forming militias and seized political control of each colony , ousting the royal governors -- with the exception of the American - born Royal Governor of Connecticut , John Trumbull , who was allowed to remain as the new Patriot Governor . The complaint was never officially over the amount of taxation ( the taxes were quite low , though ubiquitous ) , but always on the political decision - making process by which taxes were decided in London , i.e. without representation for the colonists in British Parliament . Patrick Henry 's resolution in the Virginia legislature implied that Americans possessed all the rights of Englishmen , that the principle of no taxation without representation was an essential part of the British Constitution , and that Virginia alone had the right to tax Virginians . Efforts at conciliation ( edit ) Main article : Diplomacy in the American Revolutionary War This offer of actual imperial representation was likewise re-stated to the delegates of the colonies via the colonial agents in 1774 , according to Connecticut - born Reverend Thomas Bradbury Chandler , in his publication A Friendly Address to All Reasonable Americans . In February 1775 , Britain passed the Conciliatory Resolution which ended taxation for any colony which satisfactorily provided for the imperial defence and the upkeep of imperial officers . Representative proposals after 1776 ( edit ) James Macpherson , a colonial secretary of British West Florida , defended the North administration in an officially sponsored polemic in 1776 named The Rights of Great Britain Asserted . This work replied to the Continental Congress ' July 6 , 1775 Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms by proposing that , Had the Americans , instead of flying to arms , submitted the same supposed grievance ( as the taxed though unrepresented Palatine counties in England had ) , in a peaceable and dutiful manner , to the Legislature , I can perceive no reason why their request should be refused . Had they , like the County and City of Chester , represented , that `` for lack of Knights and Burgesses to represent them in the High Court of Parliament , they had been oftentimes TOUCHED and GRIEVED with Acts and Statutes made within the said Court , derogatory to their most ancient jurisdictions , liberties and privileges , and prejudicial to their quietness , rest and peace ; '' this Country ( of Britain ) would , I am persuaded , have no objection to their being represented in her Parliament ... If they are not madly bent on independence , let them propose the conditions on which they wish to continue as subjects ... The Legislature of this Kingdom can not possibly depart from any part of its supremacy over the Colonies ; but it is in the power of the Colonies to share in that supremacy . If they complain of being taxed without having the privilege of sending Members to Parliament , let them be represented . Nay , more : Let their representation increase in proportion to the Revenue they shall furnish . If they wish rather to vote their QUOTA towards the general supply , through their own General Courts and Assemblies , the resolution of Parliament on that subject is still open to their choice . But , as long as they assume the language of a Sovereign State , this Kingdom can enter into no negociation ( sic ) , can meet no compromise . '' The noted economist Adam Smith seconded this view in his famous 1776 publication Wealth of Nations when he recommended the Americans `` to send fifty or sixty new representatives to Parliament '' on the basis of the amount of taxes they would contribute to the Imperial coffers . Writing in October 1776 to Lord North in Strictures upon the Declaration of the Congress of the recent Declaration of Independence , and particularly of James Otis , Jr. 's pamphlet Rights of the British Colonies and its endorsement by the Massachusetts Assembly , Governor Thomas Hutchinson said , The Assembly of Massachusetts Bay , therefore , was the first that took any publick of the ( Sugar ) Act , and the first which ever took exception to the right of Parliament to impose Duties or Taxes on the Colonies , whilst they had no representatives in the House of Commons . This they did in a letter to their Agent in the summer of 1764 , which they took care to print and publish before it was possible for him to receive it . And in this letter they recommend to him a pamphlet , wrote by one of their members , in which there are proposals for admitting representatives from the Colonies to fit in the House of Commons . I have this special reason , my Lord , for taking notice of this Act of the Massachusetts Assembly ; that though an American representation is thrown out as an expedient which might obviate the objections to Taxes upon the Colonies , yet it was only intended to amuse the authority in England ; and as soon as it was known to have its advocates here ( in London ) , it was renounced by the colonies , and even by the Assembly of the Colony which first proposed it , as utterly impracticable . '' Indeed , the resolves of the Continental Congresses of both 1765 and 1774 declared that imperial representation was too impractical on the footing that `` local and other circumstances , can not properly be represented in the British parliament '' . The British Government , similarly , does not appear to have formally requested discussions with the Americans concerning the issue of Parliamentary seats until 1778 . In that year `` the commissioners of the king of Great Britain , '' known as the Carlisle Peace Commission of 1778 , made an offer to the Congress of `` a reciprocal deputation of an agent or agents from the different states , who shall have the privilege of a seat and voice in the parliament of Great Britain '' . Virtual representation ( edit ) Main article : Virtual representation In Britain , representation was highly limited due to unequally distributed voting constituencies and property requirements ; only 3 % of the population could vote and they were often controlled by local gentry . This meant that spurious arguments had come to be employed in Britain to try to explain away and cover up the iniquities in its political life . Therefore the British government tried to argue that the colonists had virtual representation in their interests . In the winter of 1764 -- 65 , George Grenville , and his secretary Thomas Whately , invented the doctrine of ' virtual representation ' in an attempt extend the scope of such unjust arguments to America , and thereby attempt to legitimise the pernicious policies of the Stamp Act . In English history , `` no taxation without representation '' was an old principle and meant that Parliament had to pass all taxes . At first , the `` representation '' was held to be one of land , but , by 1700 , this had shifted to the notion that , in Parliament , all British subjects had a `` virtual representation . '' `` We virtually and implicitly allow the institutions of any government of which we enjoy the benefit and solicit the protection , '' declared Samuel Johnson in his political pamphlet Taxation No Tyranny . He rejected the plea that the colonists , who had no vote , were unrepresented . `` They are represented , '' he said , `` by the same virtual representation as the greater part of England . '' However , the tradition of greater democracy amongst Americans gave impetus to the well - founded charge , voiced by Britons and colonists alike , that virtual representation was `` sophistry '' and `` a mere Cob - web , spread to catch the unwary , and intangle ( sic ) the weak . '' The colonial insistence on direct representation as opposed to virtual representation has thus been seen by later commentators to have `` usher ( ed ) in a profound political and social revolution , which rooted out most of the remaining traces of monarchic rule and feudalism inherited from the only partially complete English bourgeois revolution . The Americans carried through the bourgeois democratic revolution on a scale never before seen in history . '' Colonial reactions ( edit ) Virtual representation was wholly rejected in the colonies , who said the `` virtual '' was a cover for political corruption and was irreconcilable with their belief that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed . In 1765 , the American lawyer and politician James Otis , Jr. , responded to Soame Jenyns ' The Objections to the Taxation of Our American Colonies , by the Legislature of Great Britain , Briefly Considered . Otis ' own publication was entitled Considerations on Behalf of the Colonists , in a Letter to a Noble Lord . He wrote in it , `` To what purpose is it to ring everlasting changes to the colonists on the cases of Manchester , Birmingham and Sheffield , who return no members ? If those now so considerable places are not represented , they ought to be . '' Writing in his 1763 publication The Rights of the British Colonies Asserted and Proved , Otis declared that , Every British subject born on the continent of America , or in any other of the British dominions , is by the law of God and nature , by the common law , and by act of parliament , ( exclusive of all charters from the Crown ) entitled to all the natural , essential , inherent and inseparable rights of our fellow subjects in Great Britain . Among those rights ... which it is humbly conceived no man or body of men , not excepting the parliament , justly , equitably and consistently with their own rights and the constitution , can take away ... ( are that the ) supreme and subordinate powers of the legislation should be free and sacred in the hands where the community have once rightfully placed them ... ( that the ) supreme national legislative can not be altered justly ' till the commonwealth is dissolved , nor a subordinate legislative taken away without forfeiture or other good cause . Nor then can the subjects in the subordinate government be reduced to a state of slavery , and subject to the despotic rule of others ... Even when the subordinate right of legislature is forfeited , and so declared , this can not affect the natural persons either of those who were invested with it , or the inhabitants , so far as to deprive them of the rights of subjects and of men -- The colonists will have an equitable right notwithstanding any such forfeiture of charter , to be represented in Parliament , or to have some new subordinate legislature among themselves . It would be best if they had both ... ( Furthermore , the right of every British subject is that the ) supreme power can not take from any man any part of his property , without his consent in person , or by representation . Otis simultaneously refuted , in The Rights of the British Colonies Asserted and Proved , a contemporary argument that attempted to rationalise virtual representation on the basis of the colonial agents ' alleged influence on British policy . `` As to the colonists being represented by the provincial agents , '' he wrote , I know of no power ever given them but to appear before his Majesty , and his ministry . Sometimes they have been directed to petition the parliament : But they none of them have , and I hope never will have , a power given them , by the colonists , to act as representatives , and to consent to taxes ; and if they should make any concessions to the ministry , especially without order , the provinces could not by that be considered as represented in parliament . Colonists said no man was represented if he were not allowed to vote . Moreover , even `` If every inhabitant of America had the requisite freehold , '' said Daniel Dulany , `` not one could vote , but upon the supposition of his ceasing to become an inhabitant of America , and becoming a resident of Great Britain . '' The colonists and like - minded Britons insisted that representation was achieved only through an assembly of men actually elected by the persons they were intended to represent . The argument between the colonies and Parliament sought to resolve how the British ' commoners ' of the various part of the Empire were represented most constitutionally -- as Daniel Dulaney , an American Loyalist and lawyer , put it `` ( the ) constitutional authority ( of Parliament 's rights to bind American subjects ) depends upon the single question , Whether the Commons of Great - Britain are virtually the representatives of the Commons of America , or not . Pitt and Camden ( edit ) The theory of virtual representation was attacked in Britain by Charles Pratt , 1st Earl Camden , and his ally William Pitt , 1st Earl of Chatham . William Pitt argued in 1766 that the Commons of Britain ought not to tax the ' `` Commons of America '' without gaining consent of their representatives in stating , `` even under former arbitrary reigns , Parliaments were ashamed of taxing a people without their consent , and allowed them representatives . Why did ( Grenville ) confine himself to Chester and Durham ? He might have taken a higher example in Wales -- Wales , that never was taxed by Parliament till it was incorporated . '' He then said , I am no courtier of America . I stand up for this kingdom . I maintain that the Parliament has a right to bind , to restrain America . Our legislative power over the colonies is sovereign and supreme . When it ceases to be sovereign and supreme , I would advise every gentleman to sell his lands , if he can , and embark for that country . When two countries are connected together like England and her colonies , without being incorporated , the one must necessarily govern . The greater must rule the less . But she must so rule it as not to contradict the fundamental principles that are common to both ... let the sovereign authority of this country over the colonies be asserted in as strong terms as can be devised , and be made to extend to every point of legislation whatsoever ; that we may bind their trade , confine their manufactures , and exercise every power whatsoever , except that of taking their money out of their pockets without their consent . '' In his first speeches in Parliament , Lord Camden vigorously attacked the declaratory act which was proposed to mollify the crown on the repeal of the Stamp Tax . After his first affirmation of `` no taxation without representation '' Camden was attacked by British PM Grenville , Chief Justice James Mansfield , Robert Henley , 1st Earl of Northington , and others . He responded : ( T ) he British Parliament have no right to tax the Americans . I shall not consider the Declaratory Bill now lying on your table ; for to what purpose , but loss of time , to consider the particulars of a Bill , the very existence of which is illegal , absolutely illegal , contrary to the fundamental laws of nature , contrary to the fundamental laws of this constitution ? A constitution grounded on the eternal and immutable laws of nature ; a constitution whose foundation and centre is liberty , which sends liberty to every individual who may happen to be within any part of its ample circumference . Nor , my Lords , is the doctrine new , it is as old as the constitution ; it grew up with it ; indeed it is its support ; taxation and representation are inseparably united ; God hath joined them , no British parliament can separate them ; to endeavour to do it , is to stab our very vitals. ... My position is this -- I repeat it -- I will maintain it to my last hour , -- taxation and representation are inseparable ; this position is founded on the laws of nature ; it is more , it is itself an eternal law of nature ; for whatever is a man 's own , is absolutely his own ; no man has a right to take it from him without his consent , either expressed by himself or representative ; whoever attempts to do it , attempts an injury ; whoever does it , commits a robbery ; he throws down and destroys the distinction between liberty and slavery . Taxation and representation are coeval with and essential to the constitution. ... ( T ) here is not a blade of grass growing in the most obscure corner of this kingdom , which is not , which was not ever , represented since the constitution began ; there is not a blade of grass , which when taxed , was not taxed by the consent of the proprietor. ... I can never give my assent to any bill for taxing the American colonies , while they remain unrepresented ; for as to the distinction of a virtual representation , it is so absurd as not to deserve an answer ; I therefore pass it over with contempt . The forefathers of the Americans did not leave their native country , and subject themselves to every danger and distress , to be reduced to a state of slavery : they did not give up their rights ; they looked for protection , and not for chains , from their mother country ; by her they expected to be defended in the possession of their property , and not to be deprived of it : for , should the present power continue , there is nothing which they can call their own ; or , to use the words of Mr. Locke , ' What property have they in that , which another may , by right , take , when he pleases , to himself ? ' '' In an appearance before Parliament in January , 1766 , former Prime Minister William Pitt stated : The idea of a virtual representation of America in this House is the most contemptible that ever entered into the head of a man . It does not deserve a serious refutation . The Commons of America , represented in their several assemblies , have ever been in possession of the exercise of this their constitutional right , of giving and granting their own money . They would have been slaves if they had not enjoyed it . Grenville responded to Pitt , saying the disturbances in America `` border on open rebellion ; and if the doctrine I have heard this day be confirmed , nothing can tend more directly to produce a revolution . '' External and internal taxes are the same , argued Grenville . Modern use in the United States ( edit ) Shimer College student holds `` No tuition without representation '' sign during protest over school governance in 2010 . In the 1860s , suffragette Sarah E. Wall of Worcester , Massachusetts invoked the principle of `` no taxation without representation '' , initiating an anti-tax protest in which she encouraged women not to pay taxes until they were granted the right to vote . Soon after she began this movement , the Worcester city tax collector sued Wall for refusing to pay taxes , and the case reached the Massachusetts Supreme Court in 1863 . In `` Wheeler v. Wall , '' the court ruled against Wall and held that despite not having the right to vote , women are still obligated to meet their tax burden . Even still , Wall refused to cooperate with the collector , and as a result , officers seized and sold her property in order to raise the money necessary to meet her tax obligation . After several years , Wall 's inexorability eventually prevailed , as the collector began to ignore Wall and allow her to abstain from paying taxes . In 1884 , Susan B. Anthony cited Wall 's audacity and willingness to stand up for women 's suffrage , stating , `` for the last twenty - five years , ( she ) has resisted the tax gatherer when he came around . I want you to look at her . She looks very harmless , but she will not pay a dollar of tax . She says when the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will give her the right of representation she will pay her taxes . '' The phrase is also used by other groups in America who pay various types of taxes ( sales , income , property ) but lack the ability to vote , such as felons ( who are , in many states , barred from voting ) , people who work in one state and live in another ( thus having to pay income tax to a state they do n't live in ) , or people under 18 . To become citizens of the United States , immigrants most often must be permanent residents for a period of time ( usually 5 years ) . Permanent residents must pay taxes on their worldwide income and , in most cases , can not vote . However , throughout the 19th century , many states did allow immigrants to vote after they had declared their intention to become citizens . This was primarily because these new states were populated in large part by immigrants who had not yet attained citizenship . Throughout U.S. history , non-citizens have been allowed to vote in 40 U.S. states and territories . As of 2005 , non-citizens are allowed to vote in seven jurisdictions in the United States : Chicago and six towns in Montgomery County , Maryland . In 2009 , the phrase `` taxation without representation '' was also used in the Tea Party protests , where protesters were upset over increased government spending and taxes , and specifically regarding a growing concern amongst the group that the U.S. government is increasingly relying upon a form of taxation without representation through increased regulatory levies and fees which are allegedly passed via unelected government employees who have no direct responsibility to voters and can not be held accountable by the public through elections . A modified version of the phrase , `` no tuition without representation '' , is sometimes used in disputes over governance in higher education in the United States to emphasize student 's rights to a voice in institutional decisions . The term first emerged in a 1977 dispute at Union County College in New Jersey . It has been used more recently in disputes at Dartmouth College , UC Berkeley School of Law , and elsewhere . Washington , D.C. ( edit ) The standard - issue District of Columbia license plate bears the phrase , `` Taxation Without Representation '' . See also : District of Columbia voting rights In the United States , the phrase is used in Washington , D.C. as part of the campaign for a vote in Congress , to publicize the fact that Washington residents pay Federal taxes , but do not have representation in Congress . In November 2000 , the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles began issuing license plates bearing the slogan `` Taxation without representation '' . In a show of support for the city , President Bill Clinton used the `` Taxation Without Representation '' plates on the presidential limousine ; however , President George W. Bush had the tags replaced to those without the motto shortly after taking office . President Barack Obama announced his intention to use the plates with the motto beginning at his second inauguration . President Donald Trump continued usage of the plates with the protest motto after he was elected , though he has stated he has `` no position '' on the issue of granting D.C. statehood . In 2002 , the Council of the District of Columbia authorized adding the slogan to the D.C. flag , but no new flag design was approved . In 2007 , the District of Columbia and United States Territories Quarters program was created based on the successful 50 State Quarters program . DC submitted designs containing the slogan , but they were rejected by the U.S. Mint . Modern use in the United kingdom ( edit ) British Prime Minister John Major used a modified version of the quote , with the order reversed , in October 1995 , when at the United Nations 's 50th Anniversary celebrations he said , `` It is not sustainable for states to enjoy representation without taxation , '' in order to criticize the billion - dollar arrears of the United States ' payments to the UN , echoing a statement made the previous month at the opening session of the UN General Assembly by UK Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind . Modern use in Canada ( edit ) In Canada , Québec politician Gilles Duceppe , former leader of the Bloc Québécois , has repeatedly cited this phrase in defending the presence of his party in Ottawa . The Bloc is a Québec sovereigntist party solely running candidates in Canadian Federal elections in the province of Québec . Duceppe 's evocation of the phrase implies that the proponents of Quebec 's sovereigntist movement have the right to be represented in the body ( which they are ) , the Canadian Parliament , which levies taxes upon them . He will usually cite the sentence in its original English . Use in Australia ( edit ) The first government of South Australia was by a Legislative Council , whose members were chosen by the Crown and from which office - bearers `` Official Members '' were selected by the Governor . John Stephens and his South Australian Register were among those who campaigned for democratic reform . Partial reform took place in 1851 , when a majority of Members of the South Australian Legislative Council , 1851 -- 1855 were elected .

"Jonathan Mayhew, Old West Church's second Congregational pastor, used the phrase, \"No Taxation Without Representation\" in a sermon in 1750.[1] The phrase revives a sentiment central to the cause of the English Civil War following the refusal of parliamentarian John Hampden to pay ship money tax.[2] \"No Taxation Without Representation,\" in the context of British American Colonial taxation, appeared for the first time in the February 1768 London Magazine headline, on page 89, in the printing of Lord Camden’s \"Speech on the Declaratory Bill of the Sovereignty of Great Britain over the Colonies.\"[3]"

732595019434668383 | Atlas (anatomy) | Atlas ( anatomy ) - wikipedia Atlas ( anatomy ) See also : Atlas ( disambiguation ) Atlas ( anatomy ) Position of the atlas ( shown in red ) Details Identifiers Latin Atlas , vertebra cervicalis I TA A02. 2.02. 101 FMA 12519 Anatomical terms of bone ( edit on Wikidata ) In anatomy , the atlas ( C1 ) is the most superior ( first ) cervical vertebra of the spine . It is named for the Atlas of Greek mythology , because it supports the globe of the head . The atlas is the topmost vertebra and with the axis forms the joint connecting the skull and spine . The atlas and axis are specialized to allow a greater range of motion than normal vertebrae . They are responsible for the nodding and rotation movements of the head . The atlanto - occipital joint allows the head to nod up and down on the vertebral column . The dens acts as a pivot that allows the atlas and attached head to rotate on the axis , side to side . The atlas 's chief peculiarity is that it has no body . It is ring - like and consists of an anterior and a posterior arch and two lateral masses . The atlas and axis are important neurologically because the brain stem extends down to the axis . Contents 1 Structure 1.1 Anterior arch 1.2 Posterior arch 1.3 Lateral masses 1.4 Vertebral foramen 1.5 Transverse processes 1.6 Development 2 Function 2.1 Muscular attachments 2.1. 1 Transverse processes 2.1. 2 Posterior tubercle 2.1. 3 Anterior arch 3 Clinical significance 4 Additional images 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Structure ( edit ) Structure of the atlas , the first cervical vertebra Anterior arch ( edit ) The anterior arch forms about one - fifth of the ring : its anterior surface is convex , and presents at its center the anterior tubercle for the attachment of the Longus colli muscles and the anterior longitudinal ligament ; posteriorly it is concave , and marked by a smooth , oval or circular facet ( fovea dentis ) , for articulation with the odontoid process ( dens ) of the axis . The upper and lower borders respectively give attachment to the anterior atlantooccipital membrane and the anterior atlantoaxial ligament ; the former connects it with the occipital bone above , and the latter with the axis below . Posterior arch ( edit ) Median sagittal section through the occipital bone and first three cervical vertebræ , showing ligamentous attachments The posterior arch forms about two - fifths of the circumference of the ring : it ends behind in the posterior tubercle , which is the rudiment of a spinous process and gives origin to the Recti capitis posteriores minores and the ligamentum nuchae . The diminutive size of this process prevents any interference with the movements between the atlas and the skull . The posterior part of the arch presents above and behind a rounded edge for the attachment of the posterior atlantooccipital membrane , while immediately behind each superior articular process is the superior vertebral notch ( sulcus arteriae vertebralis ) . This is a groove that is sometimes converted into a foramen by ossification of the posterior atlantooccipital membrane to create a delicate bony spiculum which arches backward from the posterior end of the superior articular process . This anatomical variant is known as an arcuate foramen . This groove transmits the vertebral artery , which , after ascending through the foramen in the transverse process , winds around the lateral mass in a direction backward and medially to enter the vertebrobasilar circulation through the foramen magnum ; it also transmits the suboccipital nerve ( first spinal nerve ) On the under surface of the posterior arch , behind the inferior articular facets , are two shallow grooves , the inferior vertebral notches . The lower border gives attachment to the posterior atlantoaxial ligament , which connects it with the axis . Lateral masses ( edit ) The lateral masses are the most bulky and solid parts of the atlas , in order to support the weight of the head . Each carries two articular facets , a superior and an inferior . The superior facets are of large size , oval , concave , and approach each other in front , but diverge behind : they are directed upward , medially , and a little backward , each forming a cup for the corresponding condyle of the occipital bone , and are admirably adapted to the nodding movements of the head . Not infrequently they are partially subdivided by indentations which encroach upon their margins . The inferior articular facets are circular in form , flattened or slightly convex and directed downward and medially , articulating with the axis , and permitting the rotatory movements of the head . Vertebral foramen ( edit ) Just below the medial margin of each superior facet is a small tubercle , for the attachment of the transverse atlantal ligament which stretches across the ring of the atlas and divides the vertebral foramen into two unequal parts : the anterior or smaller receiving the odontoid process of the axis the posterior transmitting the spinal cord ( medulla spinalis ) and its membranes This part of the vertebral canal is of considerable size , much greater than is required for the accommodation of the spinal cord . Transverse processes ( edit ) The transverse processes are large ; they project laterally and downward from the lateral masses , and serve for the attachment of muscles which assist in rotating the head . They are long , and their anterior and posterior tubercles are fused into one mass ; the foramen transversarium is directed from below , upward and backward . Development ( edit ) The atlas ossifies from three centers The atlas is usually ossified from three centers . Of these , one appears in each lateral mass about the seventh week of fetal life , and extends backward ; at birth , these portions of bone are separated from one another behind by a narrow interval filled with cartilage . Between the third and fourth years they unite either directly or through the medium of a separate center developed in the cartilage . At birth , the anterior arch consists of cartilage ; in this a separate center appears about the end of the first year after birth , and joins the lateral masses from the sixth to the eighth year . The lines of union extend across the anterior portions of the superior articular facets . Occasionally there is no separate center , the anterior arch being formed by the forward extension and ultimate junction of the two lateral masses ; sometimes this arch is ossified from two centers , one on either side of the middle line . Function ( edit ) Muscular attachments ( edit ) Transverse processes ( edit ) Upper surface : rectus capitis anterior -- occipital bone ( inferior surface of the base ) rectus capitis lateralis -- occipital bone ( beneath the jugular process ) obliquus capitis superior -- occipital bone ( between the superior and inferior nuchal lines ) Interior and dorsal part : obliquus capitis inferior -- spinous process of the axis Lower surface : splenius cervicis ( part ) -- spinous processes of T02 -- T05 levator scapulae ( part ) -- superior part of medial border of the scapula intertransversarius posterior cervicis -- transverse process of the axis ( posterior tubercle ) intertransversarius anterior cervicis -- transverse process of the axis ( anterior turbercle ) Posterior tubercle ( edit ) Upper surface : rectus capitis posterior minor -- occipital bone ( medial part of the interior nuchal line , and the surface between it and the foramen magnum ) Lower surface : interspinalis cervicis -- spinous process of the axis Anterior arch ( edit ) longus colli ( superior oblique ) -- transverse processes of C03 -- C05 . Clinical significance ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( April 2014 ) A break in the first vertebra is referred to as a Jefferson fracture .

Without proper rendering support , you may see question marks , boxes , or other symbols . The United Nations ( UN ) is an intergovernmental organization tasked to promote international cooperation and to create and maintain international order . A replacement for the ineffective League of Nations , the organization was established on 24 October 1945 after World War II with the aim of preventing another such conflict . At its founding , the UN had 51 member states ; there are now 193 . The headquarters of the UN is in Manhattan , New York City , and is subject to extraterritoriality . Further main offices are situated in Geneva , Nairobi , and Vienna . The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states . Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security , promoting human rights , fostering social and economic development , protecting the environment , and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine , natural disaster , and armed conflict . The UN is the largest , most familiar , most internationally represented and most powerful intergovernmental organization in the world . The UN Charter was drafted at a conference between April -- June 1945 in San Francisco , and was signed on 26 June 1945 at the conclusion of the conference ; this charter took effect on 24 October 1945 , and the UN began operation . The UN 's mission to preserve world peace was complicated in its early decades by the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union and their respective allies . The organization participated in major actions in Korea and the Congo , as well as approving the creation of the state of Israel in 1947 . The organization 's membership grew significantly following widespread decolonization in the 1960s , and by the 1970s its budget for economic and social development programmes far outstripped its spending on peacekeeping . After the end of the Cold War , the UN took on major military and peacekeeping missions across the world with varying degrees of success . The UN has six principal organs : the General Assembly ( the main deliberative assembly ) ; the Security Council ( for deciding certain resolutions for peace and security ) ; the Economic and Social Council ( ECOSOC ; for promoting international economic and social co-operation and development ) ; the Secretariat ( for providing studies , information , and facilities needed by the UN ) ; the International Court of Justice ( the primary judicial organ ) ; and the UN Trusteeship Council ( inactive since 1994 ) . UN System agencies include the World Bank Group , the World Health Organization , the World Food Programme , UNESCO , and UNICEF . The UN 's most prominent officer is the Secretary - General , an office held by Portuguese politician and diplomat António Guterres since 2017 . Non-governmental organizations may be granted consultative status with ECOSOC and other agencies to participate in the UN 's work . The organization won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001 , and a number of its officers and agencies have also been awarded the prize . Other evaluations of the UN 's effectiveness have been mixed . Some commentators believe the organization to be an important force for peace and human development , while others have called the organization ineffective , corrupt , or biased .

Background In the century prior to the UN 's creation , several international treaty organizations and conferences had been formed to regulate conflicts between nations , such as the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 . Following the catastrophic loss of life in the First World War , the Paris Peace Conference established the League of Nations to maintain harmony between countries . This organization resolved some territorial disputes and created international structures for areas such as postal mail , aviation , and opium control , some of which would later be absorbed into the UN . However , the League lacked representation for colonial peoples ( then half the world 's population ) and significant participation from several major powers , including the US , USSR , Germany , and Japan ; it failed to act against the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 , the Second Italo - Ethiopian War in 1935 , the Japanese invasion of China in 1937 , and German expansions under Adolf Hitler that culminated in the Second World War . 1942 `` Declaration of United Nations '' by the Allies of World War II Main article : Declaration by United Nations The earliest concrete plan for a new world organization began under the aegis of the US State Department in 1939 . The text of the `` Declaration by United Nations '' was drafted by President Franklin Roosevelt , British Prime Minister Winston Churchill , and Roosevelt aide Harry Hopkins , while meeting at the White House , 29 December 1941 . It incorporated Soviet suggestions , but left no role for France . `` Four Policemen '' was coined to refer to four major Allied countries , United States , United Kingdom , Soviet Union , and Republic of China , which emerged in the Declaration by United Nations . Roosevelt first coined the term United Nations to describe the Allied countries . `` On New Year 's Day 1942 , President Roosevelt , Prime Minister Churchill , Maxim Litvinov , of the USSR , and T.V. Soong , of China , signed a short document which later came to be known as the United Nations Declaration and the next day the representatives of twenty - two other nations added their signatures . '' The term United Nations was first officially used when 26 governments signed this Declaration . One major change from the Atlantic Charter was the addition of a provision for religious freedom , which Stalin approved after Roosevelt insisted . By 1 March 1945 , 21 additional states had signed . A JOINT DECLARATION BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND , THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS , CHINA , AUSTRALIA , BELGIUM , CANADA , COSTA RICA , CUBA , CZECHOSLOVAKIA , DOMINICAN REPUBLIC , EL SALVADOR , GREECE , GUATEMALA , HAITI , HONDURAS , INDIA , LUXEMBOURG , NETHERLANDS , NEW ZEALAND , NICARAGUA , NORWAY , PANAMA , POLAND , SOUTH AFRICA , YUGOSLAVIA The Governments signatory hereto , Having subscribed to a common program of purposes and principles embodied in the Joint Declaration of the President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister of Great Britain dated August 14 , 1941 , known as the Atlantic Charter , Being convinced that complete victory over their enemies is essential to defend life , liberty , independence and religious freedom , and to preserve human rights and justice in their own lands as well as in other lands , and that they are now engaged in a common struggle against savage and brutal forces seeking to subjugate the world , DECLARE : Each Government pledges itself to employ its full resources , military or economic , against those members of the Tripartite Pact and its adherents with which such government is at war . Each Government pledges itself to cooperate with the Governments signatory hereto and not to make a separate armistice or peace with the enemies . The foregoing declaration may be adhered to by other nations which are , or which may be , rendering material assistance and contributions in the struggle for victory over Hitlerism . -- The Washington Conference 1941 -- 1942 During the war , `` the United Nations '' became the official term for the Allies . To join , countries had to sign the Declaration and declare war on the Axis . Founding The UN in 1945 . In light blue , the founding members . In dark blue , protectorates and territories of the founding members . The UN was formulated and negotiated among the delegations from the Allied Big Four ( the United States , the United Kingdom , the Soviet Union and China ) at the Dumbarton Oaks Conference in 1944 . After months of planning , the UN Conference on International Organization opened in San Francisco , 25 April 1945 , attended by 50 governments and a number of non-governmental organizations involved in drafting the UN Charter . `` The heads of the delegations of the sponsoring countries took turns as chairman of the plenary meetings : Anthony Eden , of Britain , Edward Stettinius , of the United States , T.V. Soong , of China , and Vyacheslav Molotov , of the Soviet Union . At the later meetings , Lord Halifax deputized for Mister Eden , Wellington Koo for T.V. Soong , and Mister Gromyko for Mister Molotov . '' The UN officially came into existence 24 October 1945 , upon ratification of the Charter by the five permanent members of the Security Council -- France , the Republic of China , the Soviet Union , the UK and the U.S. -- and by a majority of the other 46 signatories . The first meetings of the General Assembly , with 51 nations represented , and the Security Council took place in London beginning 10 January 1946 . The General Assembly selected New York City as the site for the headquarters of the UN , and the facility was completed in 1952 . Its site -- like UN headquarters buildings in Geneva , Vienna , and Nairobi -- is designated as international territory . The Norwegian Foreign Minister , Trygve Lie , was elected as the first UN Secretary - General . Cold War era Dag Hammarskjöld was a particularly active Secretary - General from 1953 until his death in 1961 . Though the UN 's primary mandate was peacekeeping , the division between the US and USSR often paralysed the organization , generally allowing it to intervene only in conflicts distant from the Cold War . ( A notable exception was a Security Council resolution in 1950 authorizing a US - led coalition to repel the North Korean invasion of South Korea , passed in the absence of the USSR . ) In 1947 , the General Assembly approved a resolution to partition Palestine , approving the creation of the state of Israel . Two years later , Ralph Bunche , a UN official , negotiated an armistice to the resulting conflict . In 1956 , the first UN peacekeeping force was established to end the Suez Crisis ; however , the UN was unable to intervene against the USSR 's simultaneous invasion of Hungary following that country 's revolution . In 1960 , the UN deployed United Nations Operation in the Congo ( UNOC ) , the largest military force of its early decades , to bring order to the breakaway State of Katanga , restoring it to the control of the Democratic Republic of the Congo by 1964 . While travelling to meet rebel leader Moise Tshombe during the conflict , Dag Hammarskjöld , often named as one of the UN 's most effective Secretaries - General , died in a plane crash ; months later he was posthumously awarded the Nobel Peace Prize . In 1964 , Hammarskjöld 's successor , U Thant , deployed the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus , which would become one of the UN 's longest - running peacekeeping missions . With the spread of decolonization in the 1960s , the organization 's membership saw an influx of newly independent nations . In 1960 alone , 17 new states joined the UN , 16 of them from Africa . On 25 October 1971 , with opposition from the United States , but with the support of many Third World nations , the mainland , communist People 's Republic of China was given the Chinese seat on the Security Council in place of the Republic of China that occupied Taiwan ; the vote was widely seen as a sign of waning US influence in the organization . Third World nations organized into the Group of 77 coalition under the leadership of Algeria , which briefly became a dominant power at the UN . In 1975 , a bloc comprising the USSR and Third World nations passed a resolution , over strenuous US and Israeli opposition , declaring Zionism to be racism ; the resolution was repealed in 1991 , shortly after the end of the Cold War . With an increasing Third World presence and the failure of UN mediation in conflicts in the Middle East , Vietnam , and Kashmir , the UN increasingly shifted its attention to its ostensibly secondary goals of economic development and cultural exchange . By the 1970s , the UN budget for social and economic development was far greater than its peacekeeping budget . Post-cold War Kofi Annan , Secretary - General from 1997 to 2006 After the Cold War , the UN saw a radical expansion in its peacekeeping duties , taking on more missions in ten years than it had in the previous four decades . Between 1988 and 2000 , the number of adopted Security Council resolutions more than doubled , and the peacekeeping budget increased more than tenfold . The UN negotiated an end to the Salvadoran Civil War , launched a successful peacekeeping mission in Namibia , and oversaw democratic elections in post-apartheid South Africa and post-Khmer Rouge Cambodia . In 1991 , the UN authorized a US - led coalition that repulsed the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait . Brian Urquhart , Under - Secretary - General from 1971 to 1985 , later described the hopes raised by these successes as a `` false renaissance '' for the organization , given the more troubled missions that followed . Though the UN Charter had been written primarily to prevent aggression by one nation against another , in the early 1990s the UN faced a number of simultaneous , serious crises within nations such as Somalia , Haiti , Mozambique , and the former Yugoslavia . The UN mission in Somalia was widely viewed as a failure after the US withdrawal following casualties in the Battle of Mogadishu , and the UN mission to Bosnia faced `` worldwide ridicule '' for its indecisive and confused mission in the face of ethnic cleansing . In 1994 , the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda failed to intervene in the Rwandan genocide amid indecision in the Security Council . Beginning in the last decades of the Cold War , American and European critics of the UN condemned the organization for perceived mismanagement and corruption . In 1984 , the US President , Ronald Reagan , withdrew his nation 's funding from UNESCO ( the United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization , founded 1946 ) over allegations of mismanagement , followed by Britain and Singapore . Boutros Boutros - Ghali , Secretary - General from 1992 to 1996 , initiated a reform of the Secretariat , reducing the size of the organization somewhat . His successor , Kofi Annan ( 1997 -- 2006 ) , initiated further management reforms in the face of threats from the United States to withhold its UN dues . In the late 1990s and 2000s , international interventions authorized by the UN took a wider variety of forms . The UN mission in the Sierra Leone Civil War of 1991 -- 2002 was supplemented by British Royal Marines , and the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 was overseen by NATO.In 2003 , the United States invaded Iraq despite failing to pass a UN Security Council resolution for authorization , prompting a new round of questioning of the organization 's effectiveness . Under the eighth Secretary - General , Ban Ki - moon , the UN has intervened with peacekeepers in crises including the War in Darfur in Sudan and the Kivu conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo and sent observers and chemical weapons inspectors to the Syrian Civil War . In 2013 , an internal review of UN actions in the final battles of the Sri Lankan Civil War in 2009 concluded that the organization had suffered `` systemic failure '' . One hundred and one UN personnel died in the 2010 Haiti earthquake , the worst loss of life in the organization 's history . The Millennium Summit was held in 2000 to discuss the UN 's role in the 21st century . The three day meeting was the largest gathering of world leaders in history , and culminated in the adoption by all member states of the Millennium Development Goals ( MDGs ) , a commitment to achieve international development in areas such as poverty reduction , gender equality , and public health . Progress towards these goals , which were to be met by 2015 , was ultimately uneven . The 2005 World Summit reaffirmed the UN 's focus on promoting development , peacekeeping , human rights , and global security . The Sustainable Development Goals were launched in 2015 to succeed the Millennium Development Goals . In addition to addressing global challenges , the UN has sought to improve its accountability and democratic legitimacy by engaging more with civil society and fostering a global constituency . In an effort to enhance transparency , in 2016 the organization held its first public debate between candidates for Secretary - General . On January 1 , 2017 , Portuguese diplomat António Guterres , who previously served as UN High Commissioner for Refugees , became the ninth Secretary - General . Guterres has highlighted several key goals for his administration , including an emphasis on diplomacy for preventing conflicts , more effective peacekeeping efforts , and streamlining the organization to be more responsive and versatile to global needs . Structure Main article : United Nations System The UN system is based on five principal organs : the General Assembly , the Security Council , the Economic and Social Council ( ECOSOC ) , the Secretariat , and the International Court of Justice . A sixth principal organ , the Trusteeship Council , suspended operations in 1994 , upon the independence of Palau , the last remaining UN trustee territory . Four of the five principal organs are located at the main UN Headquarters in New York City . The International Court of Justice is located in The Hague , while other major agencies are based in the UN offices at Geneva , Vienna , and Nairobi . Other UN institutions are located throughout the world . The six official languages of the UN , used in intergovernmental meetings and documents , are Arabic , Chinese , English , French , Russian , and Spanish . On the basis of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations , the UN and its agencies are immune from the laws of the countries where they operate , safeguarding the UN 's impartiality with regard to the host and member countries . Below the six organs sit , in the words of the author Linda Fasulo , `` an amazing collection of entities and organizations , some of which are actually older than the UN itself and operate with almost complete independence from it '' . These include specialized agencies , research and training institutions , programmes and funds , and other UN entities . The UN obey the Noblemaire principle , which is binding on any organization that belongs to the UN system . This principle calls for salaries that will draw and keep citizens of countries where salaries are highest , and also calls for equal pay for work of equal value independent of the employee 's nationality . In practice , the ICSC takes reference to the highest - paying national civil service . Staff salaries are subject to an internal tax that is administered by the UN organizations . Principal organs of the United Nations UN General Assembly -- Deliberative assembly of all UN member states -- UN Secretariat -- Administrative organ of the UN -- International Court of Justice -- Universal court for international law -- May resolve non-compulsory recommendations to states or suggestions to the Security Council ( UNSC ) ; Decides on the admission of new members , following proposal by the UNSC ; Adopts the budget ; Elects the non-permanent members of the UNSC ; all members of ECOSOC ; the UN Secretary General ( following his / her proposal by the UNSC ) ; and the fifteen judges of the International Court of Justice ( ICJ ) . Each country has one vote . Supports the other UN bodies administratively ( for example , in the organization of conferences , the writing of reports and studies and the preparation of the budget ) ; Its chairperson -- the UN Secretary General -- is elected by the General Assembly for a five - year mandate and is the UN 's foremost representative . Decides disputes between states that recognize its jurisdiction ; Issues legal opinions ; Renders judgement by relative majority . Its fifteen judges are elected by the UN General Assembly for nine - year terms . UN Security Council -- For international security issues -- UN Economic and Social Council -- For global economical and social affairs -- UN Trusteeship Council -- For administering trust territories ( currently inactive ) -- Responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security ; May adopt compulsory resolutions ; Has fifteen members : five permanent members with veto power and ten elected members . Responsible for co-operation between states as regards economic and social matters ; Co-ordinates co-operation between the UN 's numerous specialized agencies ; Has 54 members , elected by the General Assembly to serve staggered three - year mandates . Was originally designed to manage colonial possessions that were former League of Nations mandates ; Has been inactive since 1994 , when Palau , the last trust territory , attained independence . General Assembly Main article : United Nations General Assembly Mikhail Gorbachev , Soviet general secretary , addresses the UN General Assembly in December 1988 . The General Assembly is the main deliberative assembly of the UN . Composed of all UN member states , the assembly meets in regular yearly sessions , but emergency sessions can also be called . The assembly is led by a president , elected from among the member states on a rotating regional basis , and 21 vice-presidents . The first session convened 10 January 1946 in the Methodist Central Hall in London and included representatives of 51 nations . When the General Assembly votes on important questions , a two - thirds majority of those present and voting is required . Examples of important questions include recommendations on peace and security ; election of members to organs ; admission , suspension , and expulsion of members ; and budgetary matters . All other questions are decided by a majority vote . Each member country has one vote . Apart from approval of budgetary matters , resolutions are not binding on the members . The Assembly may make recommendations on any matters within the scope of the UN , except matters of peace and security that are under consideration by the Security Council . Draft resolutions can be forwarded to the General Assembly by eight committees : General Committee -- a supervisory committee consisting of the assembly 's president , vice-president , and committee heads Credentials Committee -- responsible for determining the credentials of each member nation 's UN representatives First Committee ( Disarmament and International Security ) Second Committee ( Economic and Financial ) Third Committee ( Social , Humanitarian , and Cultural ) Fourth Committee ( Special Political and Decolonization ) Fifth Committee ( Administrative and Budgetary ) Sixth Committee ( Legal ) Security Council Main article : United Nations Security Council Colin Powell , the US Secretary of State , demonstrates a vial with alleged Iraqi chemical weapon probes to the UN Security Council on Iraq war hearings , 5 February 2003 The Security Council is charged with maintaining peace and security among countries . While other organs of the UN can only make `` recommendations '' to member states , the Security Council has the power to make binding decisions that member states have agreed to carry out , under the terms of Charter Article 25 . The decisions of the Council are known as United Nations Security Council resolutions . The Security Council is made up of fifteen member states , consisting of five permanent members -- China , France , Russia , the United Kingdom , and the United States -- and ten non-permanent members elected for two - year terms by the General Assembly ( with end of term date ) -- Bolivia ( term ends 2018 ) , Egypt ( 2017 ) , Ethiopia ( 2018 ) , Italy ( 2018 ) , Japan ( 2017 ) , Kazakhstan ( 2018 ) , Senegal ( 2017 ) , Sweden ( 2018 ) , Ukraine ( 2017 ) , Uruguay ( 2017 ) . The five permanent members hold veto power over UN resolutions , allowing a permanent member to block adoption of a resolution , though not debate . The ten temporary seats are held for two - year terms , with five member states per year voted in by the General Assembly on a regional basis . The presidency of the Security Council rotates alphabetically each month . Secretariat Main articles : United Nations Secretariat and Secretary - General of the United Nations The UN Secretariat is headed by the Secretary - General , assisted by a staff of international civil servants worldwide . It provides studies , information , and facilities needed by UN bodies for their meetings . It also carries out tasks as directed by the Security Council , the General Assembly , the Economic and Social Council , and other UN bodies . The current Secretary - General , António Guterres The Secretary - General acts as the de facto spokesperson and leader of the UN . The position is defined in the UN Charter as the organization 's `` chief administrative officer '' . Article 99 of the charter states that the Secretary - General can bring to the Security Council 's attention `` any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security '' , a phrase that Secretaries - General since Trygve Lie have interpreted as giving the position broad scope for action on the world stage . The office has evolved into a dual role of an administrator of the UN organization and a diplomat and mediator addressing disputes between member states and finding consensus to global issues . The Secretary - General is appointed by the General Assembly , after being recommended by the Security Council , where the permanent members have veto power . There are no specific criteria for the post , but over the years it has become accepted that the post shall be held for one or two terms of five years . The current Secretary - General is António Guterres , who replaced Ban Ki - moon in 2017 . Secretaries - General of the United Nations No .

Established in 1945 by the UN Charter , the Court began work in 1946 as the successor to the Permanent Court of International Justice . The ICJ is composed of 15 judges who serve 9 - year terms and are appointed by the General Assembly ; every sitting judge must be from a different nation . It is based in the Peace Palace in The Hague , sharing the building with the Hague Academy of International Law , a private centre for the study of international law . The ICJ 's primary purpose is to adjudicate disputes among states . The court has heard cases related to war crimes , illegal state interference , ethnic cleansing , and other issues . The ICJ can also be called upon by other UN organs to provide advisory opinions . Economic and social Council Main article : United Nations Economic and Social Council The Economic and Social Council ( ECOSOC ) assists the General Assembly in promoting international economic and social co-operation and development . ECOSOC has 54 members , which are elected by the General Assembly for a three - year term . The president is elected for a one - year term and chosen amongst the small or middle powers represented on ECOSOC . The council has one annual meeting in July , held in either New York or Geneva . Viewed as separate from the specialized bodies it co-ordinates , ECOSOC 's functions include information gathering , advising member nations , and making recommendations . Owing to its broad mandate of co-ordinating many agencies , ECOSOC has at times been criticized as unfocused or irrelevant . ECOSOC 's subsidiary bodies include the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues , which advises UN agencies on issues relating to indigenous peoples ; the United Nations Forum on Forests , which co-ordinates and promotes sustainable forest management ; the United Nations Statistical Commission , which co-ordinates information - gathering efforts between agencies ; and the Commission on Sustainable Development , which co-ordinates efforts between UN agencies and NGOs working towards sustainable development . ECOSOC may also grant consultative status to non-governmental organizations ; by 2004 , more than 2,200 organizations had received this status . Specialized agencies Main article : List of specialized agencies of the United Nations The UN Charter stipulates that each primary organ of the United Nations can establish various specialized agencies to fulfil its duties . Some best - known agencies are the International Atomic Energy Agency , the Food and Agriculture Organization , UNESCO ( United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization ) , the World Bank , and the World Health Organization ( WHO ) . The UN performs most of its humanitarian work through these agencies . Examples include mass vaccination programmes ( through WHO ) , the avoidance of famine and malnutrition ( through the work of the WFP ) , and the protection of vulnerable and displaced people ( for example , by UNHCR ) .

The UN Charter outlines the rules for membership : Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace - loving states that accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and , in the judgment of the Organization , are able and willing to carry out these obligations . The admission of any such state to membership in the United Nations will be effected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council . Chapter II , Article 4 . In addition , there are two non-member observer states of the United Nations General Assembly : the Holy See ( which holds sovereignty over Vatican City ) and the State of Palestine . The Cook Islands and Niue , both states in free association with New Zealand , are full members of several UN specialized agencies and have had their `` full treaty - making capacity '' recognized by the Secretariat . Group of 77 Main article : Group of 77 The Group of 77 at the UN is a loose coalition of developing nations , designed to promote its members ' collective economic interests and create an enhanced joint negotiating capacity in the UN . Seventy - seven nations founded the organization , but by November 2013 the organization had since expanded to 133 member countries . The group was founded 15 June 1964 by the `` Joint Declaration of the Seventy - Seven Countries '' issued at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development ( UNCTAD ) . The group held its first major meeting in Algiers in 1967 , where it adopted the Charter of Algiers and established the basis for permanent institutional structures . Objectives Peacekeeping and Security Main articles : United Nations peacekeeping and List of United Nations peacekeeping missions Bolivian `` Blue Helmet '' at an exercise in Chile , 21 October 2002 The UN , after approval by the Security Council , sends peacekeepers to regions where armed conflict has recently ceased or paused to enforce the terms of peace agreements and to discourage combatants from resuming hostilities . Since the UN does not maintain its own military , peacekeeping forces are voluntarily provided by member states . These soldiers are sometimes nicknamed `` Blue Helmets '' for their distinctive gear . The peacekeeping force as a whole received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1988 . In September 2013 , the UN had peacekeeping soldiers deployed on 15 missions . The largest was the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ( MONUSCO ) , which included 20,688 uniformed personnel . The smallest , United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan ( UNMOGIP ) , included 42 uniformed personnel responsible for monitoring the ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir . UN peacekeepers with the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization ( UNTSO ) have been stationed in the Middle East since 1948 , the longest - running active peacekeeping mission . A study by the RAND Corporation in 2005 found the UN to be successful in two out of three peacekeeping efforts . It compared efforts at nation - building by the UN to those of the United States , and found that seven out of eight UN cases are at peace , as compared with four out of eight US cases at peace . Also in 2005 , the Human Security Report documented a decline in the number of wars , genocides , and human rights abuses since the end of the Cold War , and presented evidence , albeit circumstantial , that international activism -- mostly spearheaded by the UN -- has been the main cause of the decline in armed conflict in that period . Situations in which the UN has not only acted to keep the peace but also intervened include the Korean War ( 1950 -- 53 ) and the authorization of intervention in Iraq after the Gulf War ( 1990 -- 91 ) . UN Buffer Zone in Cyprus was established in 1974 following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus . The UN has also drawn criticism for perceived failures . In many cases , member states have shown reluctance to achieve or enforce Security Council resolutions . Disagreements in the Security Council about military action and intervention are seen as having failed to prevent the Bangladesh genocide in 1971 , the Cambodian genocide in the 1970s , and the Rwandan genocide in 1994 . Similarly , UN inaction is blamed for failing to either prevent the Srebrenica massacre in 1995 or complete the peacekeeping operations in 1992 -- 93 during the Somali Civil War . UN peacekeepers have also been accused of child rape , soliciting prostitutes , and sexual abuse during various peacekeeping missions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo , Haiti , Liberia , Sudan and what is now South Sudan , Burundi , and Ivory Coast . Scientists cited UN peacekeepers from Nepal as the likely source of the 2010 -- 13 Haiti cholera outbreak , which killed more than 8,000 Haitians following the 2010 Haiti earthquake . In addition to peacekeeping , the UN is also active in encouraging disarmament . Regulation of armaments was included in the writing of the UN Charter in 1945 and was envisioned as a way of limiting the use of human and economic resources for their creation . The advent of nuclear weapons came only weeks after the signing of the charter , resulting in the first resolution of the first General Assembly meeting calling for specific proposals for `` the elimination from national armaments of atomic weapons and of all other major weapons adaptable to mass destruction '' . The UN has been involved with arms - limitation treaties , such as the Outer Space Treaty ( 1967 ) , the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons ( 1968 ) , the Seabed Arms Control Treaty ( 1971 ) , the Biological Weapons Convention ( 1972 ) , the Chemical Weapons Convention ( 1992 ) , and the Ottawa Treaty ( 1997 ) , which prohibits landmines . Three UN bodies oversee arms proliferation issues : the International Atomic Energy Agency , the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons , and the Comprehensive Nuclear - Test - Ban Treaty Organization Preparatory Commission . Human rights One of the UN 's primary purposes is `` promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race , sex , language , or religion '' , and member states pledge to undertake `` joint and separate action '' to protect these rights . Eleanor Roosevelt with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Spanish , 1949 In 1948 , the General Assembly adopted a Universal Declaration of Human Rights , drafted by a committee headed by Franklin D. Roosevelt 's widow , Eleanor , and including the French lawyer René Cassin . The document proclaims basic civil , political , and economic rights common to all human beings , though its effectiveness towards achieving these ends has been disputed since its drafting . The Declaration serves as a `` common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations '' rather than a legally binding document , but it has become the basis of two binding treaties , the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and International Covenant on Economic , Social and Cultural Rights . In practice , the UN is unable to take significant action against human rights abuses without a Security Council resolution , though it does substantial work in investigating and reporting abuses . In 1979 , the General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women , followed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989 . With the end of the Cold War , the push for human rights action took on new impetus . The United Nations Commission on Human Rights was formed in 1993 to oversee human rights issues for the UN , following the recommendation of that year 's World Conference on Human Rights . Jacques Fomerand , a scholar of the UN , describes this organization 's mandate as `` broad and vague '' , with only `` meagre '' resources to carry it out . In 2006 , it was replaced by a Human Rights Council consisting of 47 nations . Also in 2006 , the General Assembly passed a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples , and in 2011 it passed its first resolution recognizing the rights of LGBT people . Other UN bodies responsible for women 's rights issues include United Nations Commission on the Status of Women , a commission of ECOSOC founded in 1946 ; the United Nations Development Fund for Women , created in 1976 ; and the United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women , founded in 1979 . The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues , one of three bodies with a mandate to oversee issues related to indigenous peoples , held its first session in 2002 . Economic development and humanitarian assistance Millennium Development Goals Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Achieve universal primary education Promote gender equality and empower women Reduce child mortality Improve maternal health Combat HIV / AIDS , malaria , and other diseases Ensure environmental sustainability Develop a global partnership for development Another primary purpose of the UN is `` to achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic , social , cultural , or humanitarian character '' . Numerous bodies have been created to work towards this goal , primarily under the authority of the General Assembly and ECOSOC . In 2000 , the 192 UN member states agreed to achieve eight Millennium Development Goals by 2015 . The UN Development Programme ( UNDP ) , an organization for grant - based technical assistance founded in 1945 , is one of the leading bodies in the field of international development . The organization also publishes the UN Human Development Index , a comparative measure ranking countries by poverty , literacy , education , life expectancy , and other factors . The Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAO ) , also founded in 1945 , promotes agricultural development and food security . UNICEF ( the United Nations Children 's Fund ) was created in 1946 to aid European children after the Second World War and expanded its mission to provide aid around the world and to uphold the Convention on the Rights of the Child . Three former directors of the Global Smallpox Eradication Programme read the news that smallpox had been globally eradicated , 1980 The World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) are independent , specialized agencies and observers within the UN framework , according to a 1947 agreement . They were initially formed separately from the UN through the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944 . The World Bank provides loans for international development , while the IMF promotes international economic co-operation and gives emergency loans to indebted countries . In Jordan , UNHCR remains responsible for the Syrian refugees and the Zaatari refugee camp The World Health Organization ( WHO ) , which focuses on international health issues and disease eradication , is another of the UN 's largest agencies . In 1980 , the agency announced that the eradication of smallpox had been completed . In subsequent decades , WHO largely eradicated polio , river blindness , and leprosy . The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV / AIDS ( UNAIDS ) , begun in 1996 , co-ordinates the organization 's response to the AIDS epidemic . The UN Population Fund , which also dedicates part of its resources to combating HIV , is the world 's largest source of funding for reproductive health and family planning services . Along with the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement , the UN often takes a leading role in co-ordinating emergency relief . The World Food Programme ( WFP ) , created in 1961 , provides food aid in response to famine , natural disasters , and armed conflict . The organization reports that it feeds an average of 90 million people in 80 nations each year . The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR ) , established in 1950 , works to protect the rights of refugees , asylum seekers , and stateless people . UNHCR and WFP programmes are funded by voluntary contributions from governments , corporations , and individuals , though the UNHCR 's administrative costs are paid for by the UN 's primary budget . Other Since the UN 's creation , over 80 colonies have attained independence . The General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples in 1960 with no votes against but abstentions from all major colonial powers . The UN works towards decolonization through groups including the UN Committee on Decolonization , created in 1962 . The committee lists seventeen remaining `` Non-Self - Governing Territories '' , the largest and most populous of which is Western Sahara . Beginning with the formation of the UN Environmental Programme ( UNEP ) in 1972 , the UN has made environmental issues a prominent part of its agenda . A lack of success in the first two decades of UN work in this area led to the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil , which sought to give new impetus to these efforts . In 1988 , the UNEP and the World Meteorological Organization ( WMO ) , another UN organization , established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , which assesses and reports on research on global warming . The UN-sponsored Kyoto Protocol , signed in 1997 , set legally binding emissions reduction targets for ratifying states . The UN also declares and co-ordinates international observances , periods of time to observe issues of international interest or concern . Examples include World Tuberculosis Day , Earth Day , and the International Year of Deserts and Desertification . Funding Top 25 contributors to the United Nations budget for 2016 Member state Contribution ( % of UN budget ) United States 22.000 Japan 9.680 China 7.921 Germany 6.389 France 4.859 United Kingdom 4.463 Brazil 3.823 Italy 3.748 Russia 3.088 Canada 2.921 Spain 2.443 Australia 2.337 South Korea 2.039 Netherlands 1.482 Mexico 1.435 Saudi Arabia 1.146 Switzerland 1.140 Turkey 1.018 Sweden 0.956 Argentina 0.892 Belgium 0.885 Norway 0.849 Poland 0.841 India 0.737 Other member states 12.908 The UN is financed from assessed and voluntary contributions from member states . The General Assembly approves the regular budget and determines the assessment for each member . This is broadly based on the relative capacity of each country to pay , as measured by its gross national income ( GNI ) , with adjustments for external debt and low per capita income . The two - year budget for 2012 -- 13 was $5.512 billion in total . The Assembly has established the principle that the UN should not be unduly dependent on any one member to finance its operations . Thus , there is a `` ceiling '' rate , setting the maximum amount that any member can be assessed for the regular budget . In December 2000 , the Assembly revised the scale of assessments in response to pressure from the United States . As part of that revision , the regular budget ceiling was reduced from 25 % to 22 % . For the least developed countries ( LDCs ) , a ceiling rate of 0.01 % is applied . In addition to the ceiling rates , the minimum amount assessed to any member nation ( or `` floor '' rate ) is set at 0.001 % of the UN budget ( $55,120 for the two year budget 2013 -- 2014 ) . A large share of the UN 's expenditure addresses its core mission of peace and security , and this budget is assessed separately from the main organizational budget . The peacekeeping budget for the 2015 -- 16 fiscal year was $8.27 billion , supporting 82,318 troops deployed in 15 missions around the world . UN peace operations are funded by assessments , using a formula derived from the regular funding scale that includes a weighted surcharge for the five permanent Security Council members , who must approve all peacekeeping operations . This surcharge serves to offset discounted peacekeeping assessment rates for less developed countries . In 2017 , the top 8 providers of assessed financial contributions to UN peacekeeping operations were the United States ( 28.47 % ) , China ( 10.25 % ) , Japan ( 9.68 % ) , Germany ( 6.39 % ) , France ( 6.28 % ) , United Kingdom ( 5.77 % ) , Russian Federation ( 3.99 % ) and Italy ( 3.75 % ) . Special UN programmes not included in the regular budget , such as UNICEF and the World Food Programme , are financed by voluntary contributions from member governments , corporations , and private individuals . Evaluations , awards , and criticism Main articles : Reform of the United Nations and Reform of the United Nations Security Council See also : Criticism of the United Nations 2001 Nobel Peace Prize to the UN -- diploma in the lobby of the UN Headquarters in New York City A number of agencies and individuals associated with the UN have won the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of their work . Two Secretaries - General , Dag Hammarskjöld and Kofi Annan , were each awarded the prize ( in 1961 and 2001 , respectively ) , as were Ralph Bunche ( 1950 ) , a UN negotiator , René Cassin ( 1968 ) , a contributor to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights , and the US Secretary of State Cordell Hull ( 1945 ) , the latter for his role in the organization 's founding . Lester B. Pearson , the Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs , was awarded the prize in 1957 for his role in organizing the UN 's first peacekeeping force to resolve the Suez Crisis . UNICEF won the prize in 1965 , the International Labour Organization in 1969 , the UN Peace - Keeping Forces in 1988 , the International Atomic Energy Agency ( which reports to the UN ) in 2005 , and the UN-supported Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in 2013 . The UN High Commissioner for Refugees was awarded in 1954 and 1981 , becoming one of only two recipients to win the prize twice . The UN as a whole was awarded the prize in 2001 , sharing it with Annan . To mark the UN 's 70th anniversary -- Budapest , 2015 Since its founding , there have been many calls for reform of the UN but little consensus on how to do so . Some want the UN to play a greater or more effective role in world affairs , while others want its role reduced to humanitarian work . There have also been numerous calls for the UN Security Council 's membership to be increased , for different ways of electing the UN 's Secretary - General , and for a UN Parliamentary Assembly . Jacques Fomerand states the most enduring divide in views of the UN is `` the North -- South split '' between richer Northern nations and developing Southern nations . Southern nations tend to favour a more empowered UN with a stronger General Assembly , allowing them a greater voice in world affairs , while Northern nations prefer an economically laissez - faire UN that focuses on transnational threats such as terrorism . After World War II , the French Committee of National Liberation was late to be recognized by the US as the government of France , and so the country was initially excluded from the conferences that created the new organization . The future French president Charles de Gaulle criticized the UN , famously calling it a machin ( `` contraption '' ) , and was not convinced that a global security alliance would help maintain world peace , preferring direct defence treaties between countries . Throughout the Cold War , both the US and USSR repeatedly accused the UN of favouring the other . In 1953 , the USSR effectively forced the resignation of Trygve Lie , the Secretary - General , through its refusal to deal with him , while in the 1950s and 1960s , a popular US bumper sticker read , `` You ca n't spell communism without U.N. '' In a sometimes - misquoted statement , President George W. Bush stated in February 2003 ( referring to UN uncertainty towards Iraqi provocations under the Saddam Hussein regime ) that `` free nations will not allow the UN to fade into history as an ineffective , irrelevant debating society . '' In contrast , the French President , François Hollande , stated in 2012 that `` France trusts the United Nations . She knows that no state , no matter how powerful , can solve urgent problems , fight for development and bring an end to all crises ... France wants the UN to be the centre of global governance . '' Critics such as Dore Gold , an Israeli diplomat , Robert S. Wistrich , a British scholar , Alan Dershowitz , an American legal scholar , Mark Dreyfus , an Australian politician , and the Anti-Defamation League consider UN attention to Israel 's treatment of Palestinians to be excessive . In September 2015 , Saudi Arabia 's Faisal bin Hassan Trad has been elected Chair of the UN Human Rights Council panel that appoints independent experts , a move criticized by human rights groups . Since 1971 , the Republic of China ( Taiwan ) has been excluded from the UN and since then has always been rejected in new applications . Citizens of this country are also not allowed to enter the buildings of the United Nations with the passport of Taiwan . In this way , critics agree that the UN is failing its own development goals and guidelines . This criticism also brought pressure from the People 's Republic of China , which regards the territories administered by Taiwan as their own territory . Critics have also accused the UN of bureaucratic inefficiency , waste , and corruption . In 1976 , the General Assembly established the Joint Inspection Unit to seek out inefficiencies within the UN system . During the 1990s , the US withheld dues citing inefficiency and only started repayment on the condition that a major reforms initiative was introduced . In 1994 , the Office of Internal Oversight Services ( OIOS ) was established by the General Assembly to serve as an efficiency watchdog . In 1994 , former Special Representative of the Secretary - General of the UN to Somalia Mohamed Sahnoun published `` Somalia : The Missed Opportunities '' , a book in which he analyses the reasons for the failure of the 1992 UN intervention in Somalia , showing that , between the start of the Somali civil war in 1988 and the fall of the Siad Barre regime in January 1991 , the UN missed at least three opportunities to prevent major human tragedies ; when the UN tried to provide humanitarian assistance , they were totally outperformed by NGOs , whose competence and dedication sharply contrasted with the UN 's excessive caution and bureaucratic inefficiencies . If radical reform was not undertaken , warned Mohamed Sahnoun , then the UN would continue to respond to such crisis with inept improvisation . In 2004 , the UN faced accusations that its recently ended Oil - for - Food Programme -- in which Iraq had been allowed to trade oil for basic needs to relieve the pressure of sanctions -- had suffered from widespread corruption , including billions of dollars of kickbacks . An independent inquiry created by the UN found that many of its officials had been involved , as well as raising `` significant '' questions about the role of Kojo Annan , the son of Kofi Annan . In evaluating the UN as a whole , Jacques Fomerand writes that the `` accomplishments of the United Nations in the last 60 years are impressive in their own terms . Progress in human development during the 20th century has been dramatic and the UN and its agencies have certainly helped the world become a more hospitable and livable place for millions . '' Evaluating the first 50 years of the UN 's history , the author Stanley Meisler writes that `` the United Nations never fulfilled the hopes of its founders , but it accomplished a great deal nevertheless '' , citing its role in decolonization and its many successful peacekeeping efforts . The British historian Paul Kennedy states that while the organization has suffered some major setbacks , `` when all its aspects are considered , the UN has brought great benefits to our generation and ... will bring benefits to our children 's and grandchildren 's generations as well .

3120546075915982920 | Mile run world record progression | Mile run world record Progression - wikipedia Mile run world record Progression Jump to : navigation , search The world record in the mile run is the best mark set by a male or female runner in the middle - distance track and field event . The IAAF is the official body which oversees the records . Hicham El Guerrouj is the current men 's record holder with his time of 3 : 43.13 , while Svetlana Masterkova has the women 's record of 4 : 12.56 . Since 1976 , the mile has been the only non-metric distance recognized by the IAAF for record purposes . Accurate times for the mile run ( 1.609344 km ) were not recorded until after 1850 , when the first precisely measured running tracks were built . Foot racing had become popular in England by the 17th century , when footmen would race and their masters would wager on the result . By the 19th century `` pedestrianism '' , as it was called , had become extremely popular and the best times recorded in the period were by professionals . Even after professional foot racing died out , it was not until 1915 that the professional record of 4 : 123⁄4 ( set by Walter George in 1886 ) was surpassed by an amateur . Progression of the mile record accelerated in the 1930s as newsreel coverage greatly popularized the sport , making stars out of milers such as Jules Ladoumègue , Jack Lovelock , and Glenn Cunningham . In the 1940s , Swedes Arne Andersson and Gunder Hägg lowered the record to just over four minutes ( 4 : 01.4 ) while racing was curtailed during World War II in the combatant countries . After the war , John Landy of Australia and Britain 's Roger Bannister vied to be the first to break the fabled four - minute mile barrier . Roger Bannister did it first on May 6 , 1954 , and John Landy followed 46 days later . By the end of the 20th century , the record had been lowered to the time of 3 : 43.13 run by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco in 1999 . On the women 's side , the first sub-5 : 00 mile was achieved by Britain 's Diane Leather 23 days after Bannister 's first sub-4 : 00 mile . However , the International Association of Athletics Federations ( IAAF ) did not recognize women 's records for the distance until 1967 , when Anne Smith of Britain ran 4 : 37.0 . The current women 's world record is 4 : 12.56 by Svetlana Masterkova of Russia , set on August 14 , 1996 .

"The world record in the mile run is the best mark set by a male or female runner in the middle-distance track and field event. The IAAF is the official body which oversees the records. Hicham El Guerrouj is the current men's record holder with his time of 3:43.13, while Svetlana Masterkova has the women's record of 4:12.56.[1] Since 1976, the mile has been the only non-metric distance recognized by the IAAF for record purposes."

7420058878812550273 | Cis–trans isomerism | Cis -- trans isomerism - wikipedia Cis -- trans isomerism Jump to : navigation , search `` Cis - trans '' redirects here . For other uses , see Cis ( disambiguation ) . cis - but - 2 - ene trans - but - 2 - ene Cis -- trans isomerism , also known as geometric isomerism or configurational isomerism , is a term used in organic chemistry . The prefixes `` cis '' and `` trans '' are from Latin . In the context of chemistry , cis indicates that the functional groups are on the same side of the carbon chain while trans conveys that functional groups are on opposing sides of the carbon chain . Cis - trans isomers are stereoisomers , that is , pairs of molecules which have the same formula but whose functional groups are rotated into a different orientation in three - dimensional space . It is not to be confused with E -- Z isomerism , which is an absolute stereochemical description , and only to be used with alkenes . In general , stereoisomers contain double bonds that can not rotate , or they may contain ring structures , where the rotation of bonds is restricted or prevented . Cis and trans isomers occur both in organic molecules and in inorganic coordination complexes . Cis and trans descriptors are not used for cases of conformational isomerism where the two geometric forms easily interconvert , such as most open - chain single - bonded structures ; instead , the terms `` syn '' and `` anti '' would be used . The term `` geometric isomerism '' is considered an obsolete synonym of `` cis -- trans isomerism '' by IUPAC . Contents ( hide ) 1 Organic chemistry 1.1 Comparison of physical properties 1.1. 1 Stability 1.2 E / Z notation 2 Inorganic chemistry 2.1 Diazenes 2.2 Coordination complexes 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Organic Chemistry ( edit ) When the substituent groups are oriented in the same direction , the diastereomer is referred to as cis , whereas , when the substituents are oriented in opposing directions , the diastereomer is referred to as trans . An example of a small hydrocarbon displaying cis -- trans isomerism is but - 2 - ene . Alicyclic compounds can also display cis -- trans isomerism . As an example of a geometric isomer due to a ring structure , consider 1 , 2 - dichlorocyclohexane : trans - 1 , 2 - dichlorocyclohexane cis - 1 , 2 - dichlorocyclohexane Comparison of physical properties ( edit ) Cis and trans isomers often have different physical properties . Differences between isomers , in general , arise from the differences in the shape of the molecule or the overall dipole moment . cis - 2 - pentene trans - 2 - pentene cis - 1 , 2 - dichloroethene trans - 1 , 2 - dichloroethene cis - butenedioic acid ( maleic acid ) trans - butenedioic acid ( fumaric acid ) Oleic acid Elaidic acid These differences can be very small , as in the case of the boiling point of straight - chain alkenes , such as pent - 2 - ene , which is 37 ° C in the cis isomer and 36 ° C in the trans isomer . The differences between cis and trans isomers can be larger if polar bonds are present , as in the 1 , 2 - dichloroethenes . The cis isomer in this case has a boiling point of 60.3 ° C , while the trans isomer has a boiling point of 47.5 ° C. In the cis isomer the two polar C - Cl bond dipole moments combine to give an overall molecular dipole , so that there are intermolecular dipole -- dipole forces ( or Keesom forces ) , which add to the London dispersion forces and raise the boiling point . In the trans isomer on the other hand , this does not occur because the two C − Cl bond moments cancel and the molecule has a net zero dipole ( it does however have a non-zero quadrupole ) . The two isomers of butenedioic acid have such large differences in properties and reactivities that they were actually given completely different names . The cis isomer is called maleic acid and the trans isomer fumaric acid . Polarity is key in determining relative boiling point as it causes increased intermolecular forces , thereby raising the boiling point . In the same manner , symmetry is key in determining relative melting point as it allows for better packing in the solid state , even if it does not alter the polarity of the molecule . One example of this is the relationship between oleic acid and elaidic acid ; oleic acid , the cis isomer , has a melting point of 13.4 ° C , making it a liquid at room temperature , while the trans isomer , elaidic acid , has the much higher melting point of 43 ° C , due to the straighter trans isomer being able to pack more tightly , and is solid at room temperature . Thus , trans alkenes , which are less polar and more symmetrical , have lower boiling points and higher melting points , and cis alkenes , which are generally more polar and less symmetrical , have higher boiling points and lower melting points . In the case of geometric isomers that are a consequence of double bonds , and , in particular , when both substituents are the same , some general trends usually hold . These trends can be attributed to the fact that the dipoles of the substituents in a cis isomer will add up to give an overall molecular dipole . In a trans isomer , the dipoles of the substituents will cancel out due to being on opposite sides of the molecule . Trans isomers also tend to have lower densities than their cis counterparts . As a general trend , trans alkenes tend to have higher melting points and lower solubility in inert solvents , as trans alkenes , in general , are more symmetrical than cis alkenes . Vicinal coupling constants ( J ) , measured by NMR spectroscopy , are larger for trans ( range : 12 -- 18 Hz ; typical : 15 Hz ) than for cis ( range : 0 -- 12 Hz ; typical : 8 Hz ) isomers . Stability ( edit ) Usually for acyclic systems trans isomers are more stable than cis isomers . This is typically due to the increased unfavourable steric interaction of the substituents in the cis isomer . Therefore , trans isomers have a less exothermic heat of combustion , indicating higher thermochemical stability . In the Benson heat of formation group additivity dataset , cis isomers suffer a 1.10 kcal / mol stability penalty . Exceptions to this rule exist , such as 1 , 2 - difluoroethylene , 1 , 2 - difluorodiazene ( FN = NF ) , and several other halogen - and oxygen - substituted ethylenes . In these cases , the cis isomer is more stable than the trans isomer . This phenomenon is called the cis effect . E / Z notation ( edit ) Bromine has a higher CIP priority than chlorine , so this alkene is the Z isomer Main article : E-Z notation The cis -- trans system for naming alkene isomers should generally only be used when there are only two different substituents on the double bond , so there is no confusion about which substituents are being described relative to each other . For more complex cases , the cis / trans designation is generally based on the longest carbon chain as reflected in the root name of the molecule ( i.e. an extension of standard organic nomenclature for the parent structure ) . The IUPAC standard designations E -- Z are unambiguous in all cases , and therefore are especially useful for tri - and tetrasubstituted alkenes to avoid any confusion about which groups are being identified as cis or trans to each other . Z ( from the German zusammen ) means `` together '' . E ( from the German entgegen ) means `` opposed '' in the sense of `` opposite '' . That is , Z has the higher - priority groups cis to each other and E has the higher - priority groups trans to each other . Whether a molecular configuration is designated E or Z is determined by the Cahn - Ingold - Prelog priority rules ; higher atomic numbers are given higher priority . For each of the two atoms in the double bond , it is necessary to determine the priority of each substituent . If both the higher - priority substituents are on the same side , the arrangement is Z ; if on opposite sides , the arrangement is E . Because the cis / trans and E -- Z systems compare different groups on the alkene , it is not strictly true that Z corresponds to cis and E corresponds to trans . For example , trans - 2 - chlorobut - 2 - ene ( the two methyl groups , C1 and C4 , on the but - 2 - ene backbone are trans to each other ) is ( Z ) - 2 - chlorobut - 2 - ene ( the chlorine and C4 are together because C1 and C4 are opposite ) . Inorganic Chemistry ( edit ) Cis -- trans isomerism can also occur in inorganic compounds , most notably in diazenes and coordination compounds . Diazenes ( edit ) Diazenes ( and the related diphosphenes ) can also exhibit cis / trans isomerism . As with organic compounds , the cis isomer is generally the more reactive of the two , being the only isomer that can reduce alkenes and alkynes to alkanes , but for a different reason : the trans isomer can not line its hydrogens up suitably to reduce the alkene , but the cis isomer , being shaped differently , can . trans - diazene cis - diazene Coordination complexes ( edit ) In inorganic coordination complexes with octahedral or square planar geometries , there are also cis isomers in which similar ligands are closer together and trans isomers in which they are further apart . The two isomeric complexes , cisplatin and transplatin For example , there are two isomers of square planar Pt ( NH ) Cl , as explained by Alfred Werner in 1893 . The cis isomer , whose full name is cis - diamminedichloroplatinum ( II ) , was shown in 1969 by Barnett Rosenberg to have antitumor activity , and is now a chemotherapy drug known by the short name cisplatin . In contrast , the trans isomer ( transplatin ) has no useful anticancer activity . Each isomer can be synthesized using the trans effect to control which isomer is produced . cis - ( Co ( NH ) Cl ) and trans - ( Co ( NH ) Cl ) For octahedral complexes of formula MX Y , two isomers also exist . ( Here M is a metal atom , and X and Y are two different types of ligands . ) In the cis isomer , the two Y ligands are adjacent to each other at 90 ° , as is true for the two chlorine atoms shown in green in cis - ( Co ( NH ) Cl ) , at left . In the trans isomer shown at right , the two Cl atoms are on opposite sides of the central Co atom . A related type of isomerism in octahedral MX Y complexes is facial -- meridional ( or fac / mer ) isomerism , in which different numbers of ligands are cis or trans to each other . Metal carbonyl compounds can be characterized as `` fac '' or `` mer '' using infrared spectroscopy .

136079199876308206 | List of highest individual scores in ODIs | List of highest individual scores in ODIs - wikipedia List of highest individual scores in ODIs Jump to : navigation , search One Day International ( ODI ) cricket is played between international cricket teams who are Full Members of the International Cricket Council ( ICC ) as well as the top six Associate and Affiliate members . Unlike Test matches , ODIs consist of one innings per team , having a limit in the number of overs . The limit of overs is currently 50 overs per innings , although in the past this has been 55 or 60 overs . ODI cricket is List - A cricket , so statistics and records set in ODI matches also count toward List - A records . The earliest match now recognized as an ODI was played between England and Australia in January 1971 ; since then there have been over 3,000 ODIs played by 26 teams . The frequency of matches has steadily increased , partly because of the increase in the number of ODI - playing countries , and partly as the cricket boards of those nations seek to maximise their revenue . Before breaking the 200 mark , the highest ODI score was 194 jointly held by Pakistani Saeed Anwar and Zimbabwean Charles Coventry . In One Day Internationals , the first man to score a double century was Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar , who scored 200 not out against South Africa at Captain Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior , India . Rohit Sharma is the only player in history to score 3 double centuries . The following table lists scores of 180 or higher .

It was released as a single the following month , and became a major hit on both the country and pop music charts , reaching number one in both at the start of 1960 . It won the Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording in 1961 , and remains Robbins ' best - known song . It is widely considered a genre classic for its gripping narrative which ends in the death of its protagonist , its shift from past to present tense , haunting harmonies by vocalists Bobby Sykes and Jim Glaser ( of the Glaser Brothers ) and the eloquent and varied Spanish guitar accompaniment by Grady Martin that lends the recording a distinctive Tex - Mex feel . The name of the character Feleena was based upon a schoolmate of Robbins in the fifth grade -- Fidelina Martinez . Members of the Western Writers of America chose El Paso as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time . Contents ( hide ) 1 Song 2 Chart performance 3 Other versions 4 Sequels 4.1 Feleena ( From El Paso ) 4.2 El Paso City 5 References 5.1 Notes 6 External links Song ( edit ) `` El Paso '' was , at 4 minutes and 38 seconds in duration , far longer than most contemporary singles at the time . Robbins ' record company was unsure whether radio stations would play such a long song , and so released two versions of the song on a promo 45 : the full - length version on one side , and an edited version on the other which was nearer to the three - minute mark . The full - length version was overwhelmingly preferred . `` Out in the west Texas town of El Paso , I fell in love with a Mexican girl ... '' The song is a first - person narrative told by a cowboy who is in El Paso , Texas , in the days of the Wild West . He recalls how he fell in love with a young Mexican woman , Feleena , a dancer at `` Rosa 's Cantina '' . When the narrator sees another cowboy sharing a drink with `` wicked Feleena '' he challenges the newcomer to a gunfight . He kills the challenger , then flees El Paso for fear of being hanged for murder or killed in revenge by his victim 's friends . ( The truncated version of the song , often found on compilations , omits a verse in which the narrator expresses shock and remorse over the `` foul evil deed I had done '' before realizing he has to flee . ) In the act of fleeing , he commits the additional and potentially hanging offense of horse theft ( `` I caught a good one , it looked like it could run '' ) , further sealing his fate in El Paso . Exiting El Paso , he hides out in the `` badlands of New Mexico '' . The narrator switches from the past to the present for the remainder of the song , describing the yearning that drives him to return to El Paso : `` It 's been so long since I 've seen the young maiden / My love is stronger than my fear of death . '' Upon entering the town , he is attacked and fatally wounded by a posse . At the end of the song , the cowboy recounts that Feleena has `` found me , '' and he dies in her arms . Chart performance ( edit ) Chart ( 1959 ) Peak position U.S. Billboard Hot C&W Sides US Billboard Hot 100 Coincidentally , `` El Paso '' was followed in the Hot 100 No. 1 position by Johnny Preston 's `` Running Bear '' , another song in which the protagonist of the song dies although the story of Running Bear is not told in the first person . Other versions ( edit ) `` El Paso '' was frequently performed by the Grateful Dead in concert . The song entered the band 's repertoire in 1969 , and remained there until the band 's demise in 1995 ; in total , it was performed 389 times . It was sung by rhythm guitarist Bob Weir , with Jerry Garcia contributing harmony vocals . On the album Ladies and Gentlemen ... The Grateful Dead , Bob Weir introduces the song as the Dead 's `` most requested number '' . The alternative country band Old 97 's have also covered this song but instead of in the traditional 3 / 4 time , they hammered it out in 4 / 4 . Their cover appears on Hit by a Train : The Best of Old 97 's as well as the King of the Hill original TV soundtrack . Grady Martin released an instrumental version in 1965 on his Instrumentally Yours album . El Paso has also been recorded by Max Stalling , Michael Martin Murphey , Tom Russell , The Mills Brothers , and Jason and the Scorchers . After Lolita along with her Western Trio had a hit in the US with Seemann ( Deine Heimat ist das Meer ) she reciprocated by recording a German version of the song which became a hit in the German world and contributed to a long series of bi-national songs such as Wenn der Sommer Kommt and two songs which would top the U.S. country charts thirteen years later as performed by Marie Osmond Lieber Jonny , Komm doch Wieder and Das einsame Haus in Waikiki . A parody version , `` El Pizza '' by H.B. Barnum , was a radio hit in 1960 . It moved the action to Azusa , California , where Rosa 's Cantina became a pizza place where Feleena worked as a waitress . Homer and Jethro also parodied the song ( `` Velvita 's Cafe had standing room only ; wall - to - wall drunks all the way to the door . I looked around for a place I could sit down ; a lady got up , and I grabbed her char ... `` ( not `` chair '' ) . `` I asked her where have you been all my life ; she answered , ' Most of it I was n't born ' . '' Blaine L. Reininger , a founding musician of San Francisco band Tuxedomoon , included this song on his 1989 solo album Book of Hours . In the late 1980s a modified version of `` El Paso '' ( Miners Fight ) became known as the Official Fight song of the University of Texas at El Paso Miners . Sequels ( edit ) Robbins wrote two songs that are explicit sequels to `` El Paso '' , one in 1966 , one in 1976 . ( He also wrote other songs that told Western stories in a similar vein , but they are not sequels to `` El Paso '' , as they involve none of the same characters . ) Feleena ( from El Paso ) ( edit ) In 1966 , Robbins recorded `` Feleena ( From El Paso ) '' , telling the life story of Feleena , the `` Mexican girl '' from `` El Paso '' , in a third - person narrative . This track was over eight minutes long . Robbins wrote most of it in Phoenix , Arizona , but went to El Paso seeking inspiration for the conclusion . Born in a desert shack in New Mexico during a thunderstorm , Feleena runs away from home at 17 , living off her charms for a year in Santa Fe , before moving to the brighter lights of El Paso to become a paid dancer . After another year , the narrator of `` El Paso '' arrives , the first man she did not have contempt for . He spends six weeks romancing her , before shooting another man with whom she was flirting through `` insane jealousy '' in a retelling of the key moment in the original song . Her lover 's return to El Paso comes only a day after his flight ( the original song suggests a longer timeframe before his return ) and as she goes to run to him , the cowboy motions to her to stay out of the line of fire and is shot ; immediately after his dying kiss , Feleena shoots herself with his gun . Their ghosts are heard to this day in the wind blowing around El Paso : `` It 's only the young cowboy showing Feleena the town '' . El Paso City ( edit ) In 1976 Robbins released another reworking , `` El Paso City '' , in which the narrator is on an airplane over El Paso and remembers a song he had heard `` long ago '' , proceeding to summarize the original `` El Paso '' story . `` I do n't recall who sang the song '' , he sings , but he feels a supernatural connection to the story : `` could it be that I could be the cowboy in this mystery '' , he asks , suggesting a past life . This song was a country number one . The arrangement includes riffs and themes from the previous two El Paso songs . Robbins wrote it while flying over El Paso , in - he reported - the same amount of time it takes to sing , four minutes and fourteen seconds . It was only the second time that ever happened to him ; the first time was when he composed the original El Paso as fast as he could write it down . Robbins intended to do one more sequel , `` The Mystery of Old El Paso , '' but he died in late 1982 before he could finish the final song .

The battle consolidated the Company 's presence in Bengal , which later expanded to cover much of India over the next hundred years . The battle took place at Palashi ( Anglicised version : Plassey ) on the banks of the Hooghly River , about 150 kilometres ( 93 mi ) north of Calcutta and south of Murshidabad , then capital of Bengal ( now in Murshidabad district in West Bengal ) . The belligerents were the Nawab Siraj - ud - daulah , the last independent Nawab of Bengal , and the British East India Company . Siraj - ud - daulah had become the Nawab of Bengal the year before , and he ordered the English to stop the extension of their fortification . Robert Clive bribed Mir Jafar , the commander - in - chief of the Nawab 's army , and also promised him to make him Nawab of Bengal . Clive defeated Siraj - ud - daulah at Plassey in 1757 and captured Calcutta . The battle was preceded by an attack on British - controlled Calcutta by Nawab Siraj - ud - daulah and the Black Hole massacre . The British sent reinforcements under Colonel Robert Clive and Admiral Charles Watson from Madras to Bengal and recaptured Calcutta . Clive then seized the initiative to capture the French fort of Chandernagar . Tensions and suspicions between Siraj - ud - daulah and the British culminated in the Battle of Plassey . The battle was waged during the Seven Years ' War ( 1756 -- 1763 ) , and , in a mirror of their European rivalry , the French East India Company ( La Compagnie des Indes Orientales ) sent a small contingent to fight against the British . Siraj - ud - Daulah had a numerically superior force and made his stand at Plassey . The British , worried about being outnumbered , formed a conspiracy with Siraj - ud - Daulah 's demoted army chief Mir Jafar , along with others such as Yar Lutuf Khan , Jagat Seths ( Mahtab Chand and Swarup Chand ) , Umichand and Rai Durlabh . Mir Jafar , Rai Durlabh and Yar Lutuf Khan thus assembled their troops near the battlefield but made no move to actually join the battle . Siraj - ud - Daulah 's army with 50,000 soldiers , 40 cannons and 10 war elephants was defeated by 3,000 soldiers of Col. Robert Clive , owing to the flight of Siraj - ud - daulah from the battlefield and the inactivity of the conspirators . The battle ended in 11 hours . This is judged to be one of the pivotal battles in the control of Indian subcontinent by the colonial powers . The British now wielded enormous influence over the Nawab and consequently acquired significant concessions for previous losses and revenue from trade . The British further used this revenue to increase their military might and push the other European colonial powers such as the Dutch and the French out of South Asia , thus expanding the British Empire .

These stations were independent presidencies governed by a president and a council , appointed by the Court of Directors in England . The British adopted a policy of allying themselves with various princes and Nawabs , promising security against usurpers and rebels . The Nawabs often gave them concessions in return for the security . By the 18th century all rivalry had ceased between the British East India Company and the Dutch or Portuguese counterparts . The French had also established an East India Company under Louis XIV and had two important stations in India -- Chandernagar in Bengal and Pondicherry on the Carnatic coast , both governed by the presidency of Pondicherry . The French were a late comer in India trade , but they quickly established themselves in India and were poised to overtake Britain for control . Carnatic wars ( edit ) The War of the Austrian Succession ( 1740 -- 1748 ) marked the beginning of the power struggle between Britain and France and of European military ascendancy and political intervention in the Indian subcontinent . In September 1746 , Mahé de La Bourdonnais landed off Madras with a naval squadron and laid siege to the port city . The defences of Madras were weak and the garrison sustained a bombardment of three days before surrendering . The terms of the surrender agreed by Bourdonnais provided for the settlement to be ransomed back for a cash payment by the British East India Company . However , this concession was opposed by Joseph François Dupleix , the governor general of the Indian possessions of the Compagnie des Indes Orientales . When Bourdonnais left India in October , Dupleix reneged on the agreement . The Nawab of the Carnatic Anwaruddin Muhammed Khan intervened in support of the British and the combined forces advanced to retake Madras , but despite vast superiority in numbers , the army was easily crushed by the French . As retaliation to the loss of Madras , the British , under Major Lawrence and Admiral Boscawen , laid siege to Pondicherry but were forced to raise it after thirty - one days . The Treaty of Aix - la - Chapelle in 1748 forced Dupleix to yield Madras back to the British in return for Louisbourg and Cape Breton Island in North America . The Mughal Empire 's Nawab of Bengal Alivardi Khan adopted strict attitudes towards European mercantile companies in Bengal . The Treaty of Aix - La - Chapelle prevented direct hostilities between the two powers but soon they were involved in indirect hostilities as the auxiliaries of the local princes in their feuds . The feud Dupleix chose was for the succession to the positions of the Nizam of the Deccan and the Nawab of the dependent Carnatic province . The British and the French both nominated their candidates for the two posts . In both cases , Dupleix 's candidates usurped both thrones by manipulation and two assassinations . In mid-1751 , the French candidate for the Nawab 's post , Chanda Sahib , laid siege to the British candidate Mohammed Ali 's last stronghold Trichinopoly , where Ali was holed up with his British reinforcements . He was aided by a French force under Charles , Marquis de Bussy . On 1 September 1751 , 280 Europeans and 300 sepoys under the command of Captain Robert Clive attacked and seized Arcot , the capital of the Carnatic , finding that the garrison had fled the night before . It was hoped that this would force Chanda Sahib to divert some of his troops to wrest the city back from the British . Chanda Sahib sent a force of 4,000 Indians under Raza Sahib and 150 Frenchmen . They besieged the fort and breached the walls in various places after several weeks . Clive sent out a message to Morari Rao , a Maratha chieftain who had received a subsidy to assist Mohammed Ali and was encamped in the Mysore hills . Raza Sahib , learning of the imminent Maratha approach , sent a letter to Clive asking him to surrender in return for a large sum of money but this offer was refused . In the morning of 24 November , Raza Sahib tried to mount a final assault on the fort but was foiled in his attempt when his armoured elephants stampeded due to the British musketry . They tried to enter the fort through the breach several times but always repulsed with loss . The siege was raised the next day and Raza Sahib 's forces fled from the scene , abandoning guns , ammunition and stores . With success at Arcot , Conjeeveram and Trichinopoly , the British secured the Carnatic and Mohammed Ali succeeded to the throne of the Nawab in accordance with a treaty with the new French governor Godeheu . Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar adopted a lenient policy towards the British East India Company . Alwardi Khan ascended to the throne of the Nawab of Bengal after his army attacked and captured the capital of Bengal , Murshidabad . Alivardi 's attitude to the Europeans in Bengal is said to be strict . During his wars with the Marathas , he allowed the strengthening of fortifications by the Europeans and the construction of the Maratha Ditch in Calcutta by the British . On the other hand , he collected large amounts of money from them for the upkeep of his war . He was well - informed of the situation in southern India , where the British and the French had started a proxy war using the local princes and rulers . Alwardi did not wish such a situation to transpire in his province and thus exercised caution in his dealings with the Europeans . However , there was continual friction ; the British always complained that they were prevented from the full enjoyment of the farman of 1717 issued by Farrukhsiyar . The British , however , protected subjects of the Nawab , gave passes to native traders to trade custom - free and levied large duties on goods coming to their districts -- actions which were detrimental to the Nawab 's revenue . In April 1756 , Alwardi Khan died and was succeeded by his twenty - three - year - old grandson , Siraj - ud - daulah . His personality was said to be a combination of a ferocious temper and a feeble understanding . He was particularly suspicious of the large profits made by the European companies in India . When the British and the French started improving their fortifications in anticipation of another war between them , he immediately ordered them to stop such activities as they had been done without permission . When the British refused to cease their constructions , the Nawab led a detachment of 3,000 men to surround the fort and factory of Cossimbazar and took several British officials as prisoners , before moving to Calcutta . The defences of Calcutta were weak and negligible . The garrison consisted of only 180 soldiers , 50 European volunteers , 60 European militia , 150 Armenian and Portuguese militia , 35 European artillery - men and 40 volunteers from ships and was pitted against the Nawab 's force of nearly 50,000 infantry and cavalry . The city was occupied on 16 June by Siraj 's force and the fort surrendered after a brief siege on 20 June . The prisoners who were captured at the siege of Calcutta were transferred by Siraj to the care of the officers of his guard , who confined them to the common dungeon of Fort William known as The Black Hole . This dungeon , 18 by 14 feet ( 5.5 m × 4.3 m ) in size with two small windows , had 146 prisoners thrust into it -- originally employed by the British to hold only six prisoners . On 21 June , the doors of the dungeon were opened and only 23 of the 146 walked out , the rest died of asphyxiation , heat exhaustion and delirium . It appears that the Nawab was unaware of the conditions in which his prisoners were held which resulted in the unfortunate deaths of most of the prisoners . Meanwhile , the Nawab 's army and navy were busy plundering the city of Calcutta and the other British factories in the surrounding areas . When news of the fall of Calcutta broke in Madras on 16 August 1756 , the Council immediately sent out an expeditionary force under Colonel Clive and Admiral Watson . A letter from the Council of Fort St. George , states that `` the object of the expedition was not merely to re-establish the British settlements in Bengal , but also to obtain ample recognition of the Company 's privileges and reparation for its losses '' without the risk of war . It also states that any signs of dissatisfaction and ambition among the Nawab 's subjects must be supported . Clive assumed command of the land forces , consisting of 900 Europeans and 1500 sepoys while Watson commanded a naval squadron . The fleet entered the Hooghly River in December and met with the fugitives of Calcutta and the surrounding areas , including the principal Members of the Council , at the village of Falta on 15 December . The Members of Council formed a Select Committee of direction . On 29 December , the force dislodged the enemy from the fort of Budge Budge . Clive and Watson then moved against Calcutta on 2 January 1757 and the garrison of 500 men surrendered after offering a scanty resistance . With Calcutta recaptured , the Council was reinstated and a plan of action against the Nawab was prepared . The fortifications of Fort William were strengthened and a defensive position was prepared in the north - east of the city . Bengal Campaign ( edit ) Robert Clive ( 1773 ) , by Nathaniel Dance - Holland On 9 January 1757 , a force of 650 men under Captain Coote and Major Kilpatrick stormed and sacked the town of Hooghly , 23 miles ( 37 km ) north of Calcutta . On learning of this attack , the Nawab raised his army and marched on Calcutta , arriving with the main body on 3 February and encamping beyond the Maratha Ditch . Siraj set up his headquarters in Omichund 's garden . A small body of their army attacked the northern suburbs of the town but were beaten back by a detachment under Lieutenant Lebeaume placed there , returning with fifty prisoners . Clive decided to launch a surprise attack on the Nawab 's camp on the morning of 4 February . At midnight , a force of 600 sailors , a battalion of 650 Europeans , 100 artillery - men , 800 sepoys and 6 six - pounders approached the Nawab 's camp . At 6 : 00 , under the cover of a thick fog , the vanguard came upon the Nawab 's advanced guard , who after firing with their matchlocks and rockets , ran away . They continued forward for some distance till they were opposite Omichund 's garden , when they heard the galloping of cavalry on their right . The cavalry came within 30 yards ( 27 m ) of the British force before the line gave fire , killing many and dispersing the rest . The fog hampered visibility beyond walking distance . Hence , the line moved slowly , infantry and artillery firing on either side randomly . Clive had intended to use a narrow raised causeway , south of the garden , to attack the Nawab 's quarters in the garden . The Nawab 's troops had barricaded the passage . At about 9 : 00 , as the fog began to lift , the troops were overwhelmed by the discharge of two pieces of heavy cannon from across the Maratha Ditch by the Nawab 's artillery . The British troops were assailed on all sides by cavalry and musket - fire . The Nawab troops then made for a bridge a mile further on , crossed the Maratha Ditch and reached Calcutta . The total casualties of Clive 's force were 57 killed and 137 wounded . The Nawab 's army lost 22 officers of distinction , 600 common men , 4 elephants , 500 horses , some camels and a great number of bullocks . The attack scared the Nawab into concluding the Treaty of Alinagar with the Company on 5 February , agreeing to restore the Company 's factories , allow the fortification of Calcutta and restoring former privileges . The Nawab withdrew his army back to his capital , Murshidabad . Concerned by the approach of de Bussy to Bengal and the Seven Years ' War in Europe , the Company turned its attention to the French threat in Bengal . Clive planned to capture the French town of Chandernagar , 20 miles ( 32 km ) north of Calcutta . Clive needed to know whose side the Nawab would intervene on if he attacked Chandernagar . The Nawab sent evasive replies and Clive construed this to be assent to the attack . Clive commenced hostilities on the town and fort of Chandernagar on 14 March . The French had set up defences on the roads leading to the fort and had sunk several ships in the river channel to prevent passage of the men of war . The garrison consisted of 600 Europeans and 300 sepoys . The French expected assistance from the Nawab 's forces from Hooghly , but the governor of Hooghly , Nandkumar had been bribed to remain inactive and prevent the Nawab 's reinforcement of Chandernagar . The fort was well - defended , but when Admiral Watson 's squadron forced the blockade in the channel on 23 March , a fierce cannonade ensued with aid from two batteries on the shore . The naval squadron suffered greatly due to musket - fire from the fort . At 9 : 00 on 24 March , a flag of truce was shown by the French and by 15 : 00 , the capitulation concluded . After plundering Chandernagar , Clive decided to ignore his orders to return to Madras and remain in Bengal . He moved his army to the north of the town of Hooghly . Furthermore , Siraj - ud - Daula believed that the British East India Company did not receive any permission from the Mughal Emperor Alamgir II to fortify their positions in the territories of the Nawab of Bengal . Conspiracy ( edit ) Siraj believed that the Mughal Emperor Alamgir II had not given permission to the British East India Company to expand its influence in Bengal . The Nawab was infuriated on learning of the attack on Chandernagar . His former hatred of the British returned , but he now felt the need to strengthen himself by alliances against the British . The Nawab was plagued by fear of attack from the north by the Afghans under Ahmad Shah Durrani and from the west by the Marathas . Therefore , he could not deploy his entire force against the British for fear of being attacked from the flanks . A deep distrust set in between the British and the Nawab . As a result , Siraj started secret negotiations with Jean Law , chief of the French factory at Cossimbazar , and de Bussy . The Nawab also moved a large division of his army under Rai Durlabh to Plassey , on the island of Cossimbazar 30 miles ( 48 km ) south of Murshidabad . Popular discontent against the Nawab flourished in his own court . The Seths , the traders of Bengal , were in perpetual fear for their wealth under the reign of Siraj , contrary to the situation under Alivardi 's reign . They had engaged Yar Lutuf Khan to defend them in case they were threatened in any way . William Watts , the Company representative at the court of Siraj , informed Clive about a conspiracy at the court to overthrow the ruler . The conspirators included Mir Jafar , paymaster of the army , Rai Durlabh , Yar Lutuf Khan and Omichund , a merchant and several officers in the army . When communicated in this regard by Mir Jafar , Clive referred it to the select committee in Calcutta on 1 May . The committee passed a resolution in support of the alliance . A treaty was drawn between the British and Mir Jafar to raise him to the throne of the Nawab in return for support to the British in the field of battle and the bestowal of large sums of money upon them as compensation for the attack on Calcutta . On 2 May , Clive broke up his camp and sent half the troops to Calcutta and the other half to Chandernagar . Mir Jafar and the Seths desired that the confederacy between the British and himself be kept secret from Omichund , but when he found out about it , he threatened to betray the conspiracy if his share was not increased to three million rupees ( £ 300,000 ) . Hearing of this , Clive suggested an expedient to the Committee . He suggested that two treaties be drawn -- the real one on white paper , containing no reference to Omichund and the other on red paper , containing Omichund 's desired stipulation , to deceive him . The Members of the Committee signed on both treaties , but Admiral Watson signed only the real one and his signature had to be counterfeited on the fictitious one . Both treaties and separate articles for donations to the army , navy squadron and committee were signed by Mir Jafar on 4 June . Clive testified and defended himself thus before the House of Commons of Parliament on 10 May 1773 , during the Parliamentary inquiry into his conduct in India : Omichund , his confidential servant , as he thought , told his master of an agreement made between the English and Monsieur Duprée ( may be a mistranscription of Dupleix ) to attack him , and received for that advice a sum of not less than four lacks of rupees . Finding this to be the man in whom the nabob entirely trusted , it soon became our object to consider him as a most material engine in the intended revolution . We therefore made such an agreement as was necessary for the purpose , and entered into a treaty with him to satisfy his demands . When all things were prepared , and the evening of the event was appointed , Omichund informed Mr. Watts , who was at the court of the nabob , that he insisted upon thirty lacks of rupees , and five per cent . upon all the treasure that should be found ; that , unless that was immediately complied with , he would disclose the whole to the nabob ; and that Mr. Watts , and the two other English gentlemen then at the court , should be cut off before the morning . Mr. Watts , immediately on this information , dispatched an express to me at the council . I did not hesitate to find out a stratagem to save the lives of these people , and secure success to the intended event . For this purpose we signed another treaty . The one was called the Red , the other the White treaty . This treaty was signed by every one , except admiral Watson ; and I should have considered myself sufficiently authorised to put his name to it , by the conversation I had with him . As to the person who signed admiral Watson 's name to the treaty , whether he did it in his presence or not , I can not say ; but this I know , that he thought he had sufficient authority for so doing . This treaty was immediately sent to Omichund , who did not suspect the stratagem . The event took place , and success attended it ; and the House , I am fully persuaded , will agree with me , that , when the very existence of the Company was at stake , and the lives of these people so precariously situated , and so certain of being destroyed , it was a matter of true policy and of justice to deceive so great a villain . Approach March ( edit ) Clive 's solitary reflection before the Battle of Plassey On 12 June , Clive was joined by Major Kilpatrick with the rest of the army from Calcutta at Chandernagar . The combined force consisted of 613 Europeans , 171 artillery - men controlling eight field pieces and two howitzers , 91 topasses , 2100 sepoys ( mainly dusadhs ) and 150 sailors . The army set out for Murshidabad on 13 June . Clive sent out the Nawab 's messengers with a letter declaring his intention to march his army to Murshidabad to refer their complaints with regard to the treaty of 9 February with the principal officers of the Nawab 's government . The Indian troops marched on shore while the Europeans with the supplies and artillery were towed up the river in 200 boats . On 14 June , Clive sent a declaration of war to Siraj . On 15 June , after ordering an attack on Mir Jafar 's palace in suspicion of his alliance with the British , Siraj obtained a promise from Mir Jafar to not join the British in the field of battle . He then ordered his entire army to move to Plassey , but the troops refused to quit the city until the arrears of their pay were released . The delay caused the army to reach Plassey only by 21 June . By 16 June , the British force had reached Paltee , 12 miles ( 19 km ) north of which lay the strategically important town and fort of Katwa . It contained large stores of grain and military supplies and was covered by the river Aji . On 17 June , Clive despatched a force of 200 Europeans , 500 sepoys , one field piece and a small howitzer under Major Coote of the 39th Foot to capture the fort . The detachment found the town abandoned when they landed at midnight . At daybreak on 19 June , Major Coote went to the bank of the river and waved a white flag , but was met only by shot and a show of defiance by the governor . Coote split his Anglo - Indian force ; the sepoys crossed the river and fired the ramparts while the Europeans crossed farther up from the fort . When the garrison saw the advancing troops , they gave up their posts and fled north . Hearing of the success , Clive and the rest of the army arrived at Katwa by the evening of 19 June . At this juncture , Clive faced a dilemma . The Nawab had reconciled with Mir Jafar and had posted him on one flank of his army . Mir Jafar had sent messages to Clive , declaring his intention to uphold the treaty between them . Clive decided to refer the problem to his officers and held a council of war on 21 June . The question Clive put before them was whether , under the present circumstances , the army , without other assistance , should immediately cross into the island of Cossimbazar and attack the Nawab or whether they should fortify their position in Katwa and trust to assistance from the Marathas or other Indian powers . Of the twenty officers attending the council , thirteen including Clive were against immediate action , while the rest including Major Coote were in favour citing recent success and the high spirits of the troops . The council broke up and after an hour of deliberation , Clive gave the army orders to cross the Bhagirathi River ( another name for the Hooghly River ) on the morning of 22 June . At 1 : 00 , on 23 June , they reached their destination beyond the village of Plassey . They quickly occupied the adjoining mango grove , called Laksha Bagh , which was 800 yards ( 730 m ) long and 300 yards ( 270 m ) wide and enclosed by a ditch and a mud wall . Its length was angled diagonally to the Bhagirathi River . A little to the north of the grove at the bank of the river stood a hunting lodge enclosed by a masonry wall where Clive took up his quarters . The grove was about a mile from the Nawab 's entrenchments . The Nawab 's army had been in place 26 hours before Clive 's . A French detachment under Jean Law would reach Plassey in two days . Their army lay behind earthen entrenchments running at right angles to the river for 200 yards ( 180 m ) and then turning to the north - eastern direction for 3 miles ( 4.8 km ) . There was a redoubt mounted by cannon at this turning along the entrenchment . There was a small hill covered by trees 300 yards ( 270 m ) east of the redoubt. 800 yards ( 730 m ) towards the British position was a small tank ( reservoir ) and 100 yards ( 91 m ) further south was a larger tank , both surrounded by a large mound of earth .

A large stage , raised six feet from the ground , carrying besides the cannon , all the ammunition belonging to it , and the gunners themselves who managed the cannon , on the stage itself . These machines were drawn by 40 or 50 yoke of white oxen , of the largest size , bred in the country of Purnea ; and behind each cannon walked an elephant , trained to assist at difficult tugs , by shoving with his forehead against the hinder part of the carriage . At daybreak on 23 June , the Nawab 's army emerged from their camp and started advancing towards the grove . Their army consisted of 30,000 infantry of all sorts , armed with matchlocks , swords , pikes and rockets and 20,000 cavalry , armed with swords or long spears , interspersed by 300 pieces of artillery , mostly 32 , 24 and 18 - pounders . The army also included a detachment of about 50 French artillerymen under de St. Frais directing their own field pieces . The French took up positions at the larger tank with four light pieces advanced by two larger pieces , within a mile of the grove . Behind them were a body of 5,000 cavalry and 7,000 infantry commanded by the Nawab 's faithful general Mir madan Khan and Diwan Mohanlal . The rest of the army numbering 45,000 formed an arc from the small hill to a position 800 yards ( 730 m ) east of the southern angle of the grove , threatening to surround Clive 's relatively smaller army . The right arm of their army was commanded by Rai Durlabh , the centre by Yar Lutuf Khan and the left arm closest to the British by Mir Jafar . Clive watched the situation unfolding from the roof of the hunting lodge , anticipating news from Mir Jafar . He ordered his troops to advance from the grove and line up facing the larger tank . His army consisted of 750 European infantry with 100 Topasses , 2100 sepoys ( dusadhs ) and 100 artillery - men assisted by 50 sailors . The artillery consisted of eight 6 - pounders and two howitzers . The Europeans and Topasses were placed in the centre of the line in four divisions , flanked on both sides by three 6 - pounders . The sepoys were placed on the right and left in equal divisions . Clive posted two 6 - pounders and two howitzers behind some brick - kilns 200 yards ( 180 m ) north of the left division of his army to oppose the French fire . Battle begins ( edit ) At 8 : 00 , the French artillery at the larger tank fired the first shot , killing one and wounding another from the grenadier company of the 39th Regiment . This , as a signal , the rest of the Nawab 's artillery started a heavy and continuous fire . The advanced field pieces of the British opposed the French fire , while those with the battalion opposed the rest of the Nawab 's artillery . Their shots did not serve to immobilize the artillery but hit the infantry and cavalry divisions . By 8 : 30 , the British had lost 10 Europeans and 20 sepoys . Leaving the advanced artillery at the brick kilns , Clive ordered the army to retreat back to relative shelter of the grove . The rate of casualties of the British dropped substantially due to the protection of the embankment . Death of Mir Madan Khan ( edit ) Soldier of the 39th Regiment of Foot ( c. 1742 ) At the end of three hours , there was no substantial progress and the positions of both sides had not changed . Clive called a meeting of his staff to discuss the way ahead . It was concluded that the present position would be maintained till after nightfall , and an attack on the Nawab 's camp should be attempted at midnight . Soon after the conference , a heavy rainstorm occurred . The British used tarpaulins to protect their ammunition , while the Nawab 's army took no such precautions . As a result , their gunpowder got drenched and their rate of fire slackened , while Clive 's artillery kept up a continuous fire . As the rain began to subside , Mir Madan Khan , assuming that the British guns were rendered ineffective by the rain , led his cavalry to a charge . However , the British countered the charge with heavy grape shot , mortally wounding Mir Madan Khan and driving back his men . Siraj had remained in his tent throughout the cannonade surrounded by attendants and officers assuring him of victory . When he heard that Mir Madan was mortally wounded , he was deeply disturbed and attempted reconciliation with Mir Jafar , flinging his turban to the ground , entreating him to defend it . Mir Jafar promised his services but immediately sent word of this encounter to Clive , urging him to push forward . Following Mir Jafar 's exit from the Nawab 's tent , Rai Durlabh urged Siraj to withdraw his army behind the entrenchment and advised him to return to Murshidabad leaving the battle to his generals . Siraj complied with this advice and ordered the troops under Mohan Lal to retreat behind the entrenchment . He then mounted a camel and accompanied by 2,000 horsemen set out for Murshidabad . Battlefield manoeuvres ( edit ) A plan of the Battle of Plassey , fought 23 June 1757 by Col. Robert Clive , against the Nawab of Bengal . Depiction of the battlefield , with explanations of troop movements . At about 14 : 00 , the Nawab 's army ceased the cannonade and began turning back north to their entrenchments , leaving St. Frais and his artillery without support . Seeing the Nawab 's forces retiring , Major Kilpatrick , who had been left in charge of the British force while Clive was resting in the hunting lodge , recognised the opportunity to cannonade the retiring enemy if St. Frais ' position could be captured . Sending an officer to Clive to explain his actions , he took two companies of the 39th Regiment and two field pieces and advanced towards St. Frais ' position . When Clive received the message , he hurried to the detachment and reprimanded Kilpatrick for his actions without orders and commanded to bring up the rest of the army from the grove . Clive himself then led the army against St. Frais ' position which was taken at 15 : 00 when the French artillery retreated to the redoubt of the entrenchment , setting up for further action . As the British force moved towards the larger tank , it was observed that the left arm of the Nawab 's army had lingered behind the rest . When the rear of this division reached a point in a line with the northern point of the grove , it turned left and marched towards the grove . Clive , unaware that it was Mir Jafar 's division , supposed that his baggage and stores were the intended target and sent three platoons under Captain Grant and Lieutenant Rumbold and a field piece under John Johnstone , a volunteer , to check their advance . The fire of the field piece halted the advance of the division , which remained isolated from the rest of the Nawab 's army . English guns at The battle of Plassey , June 23 , 1757 Meanwhile , the British field pieces began a cannonade on the Nawab 's camp from the mound of the larger tank . As a result , many of the Nawab 's troops and artillery started coming out of the entrenchment . Clive advanced half of his troops and artillery to the smaller tank and the other half to a rising ground 200 yards ( 180 m ) to the left of it and started bombarding the entrenchment with greater efficiency , throwing the approaching trains into confusion . The Nawab 's troops shot their matchlocks from holes , ditches , hollows and from bushes on the hill east of the redoubt while St. Frais kept up his artillery fire from the redoubt . Cavalry charges were also repulsed by the British field pieces . However , the British force sustained most of its casualties in this phase . At this point , Clive realised that the lingering division was Mir Jafar 's and concentrated his efforts at capturing the redoubt and hill east of it . Clive ordered a three - pronged attack with simultaneous attacks by two detachments on the redoubt and the hill supported by the main force in the centre . Two companies of grenadiers of the 39th Regiment , under Major Coote took the hill at 16 : 30 after the enemy fled without firing a shot . Coote pursued them across the entrenchment . The redoubt was also taken after St. Frais was forced to retreat . By 17 : 00 , the British occupied the entrenchment and the camp left by a dispersing army . The British troops marched on and halted 6 miles ( 9.7 km ) beyond Daudpur at 20 : 00 . The British losses were estimated at 22 killed and 50 wounded . Of the killed , three were of the Madras Artillery , one of the Madras Regiment and one of the Bengal European Regiment . Of the wounded , four were of the 39th Regiment , three of the Madras Regiment , four of the Madras Artillery , two of the Bengal European Regiment , one of the Bengal Artillery and one of the Bombay Regiment . Of the losses by the sepoys , four Madras and nine Bengal sepoys were killed while nineteen Madras and eleven Bengal sepoys were wounded . Clive estimates that the Nawab 's force lost 500 men , including several key officers . Aftermath ( edit ) In the evening of 23 June , Clive received a letter from Mir Jafar asking for a meeting with him . Clive replied that he would meet Mir Jafar at Daudpur the next morning . When Mir Jafar arrived at the British camp at Daudpur in the morning , Clive embraced him and saluted him as the Nawab of Bengal , Bihar and Odisha . He then advised Mir Jafar to hasten to Murshidabad to prevent Siraj 's escape and the plunder of his treasure . Mir Jafar reached Murshidabad with his troops on the evening of 24 June . Clive arrived at Murshidabad on 29 June with a guard of 200 European soldiers and 300 sepoys in the wake of rumours of a possible attempt on his life . Clive was taken to the Nawab 's palace , where he was received by Mir Jafar and his officers . Clive placed Mir Jafar on the throne and acknowledging his position as Nawab , presented him with a plate of gold rupees . Siraj - ud - daulah had reached Murshidabad at midnight on 23 June . He summoned a council where some advised him to surrender to the British , some to continue the war and some to prolong his flight . At 22 : 00 on 24 June , Siraj disguised himself and escaped northwards on a boat with his wife and valuable jewels . His intention was to escape to Patna with aid from Jean Law . At midnight on 24 June , Mir Jafar sent several parties in pursuit of Siraj . On 2 July , Siraj reached Rajmahal and took shelter in a deserted garden but was soon discovered and betrayed to the local military governor , the brother of Mir Jafar , by a man who was previously arrested and punished by Siraj . His fate could not be decided by a council headed by Mir Jafar and was handed over to Mir Jafar 's son , Miran , who had Siraj murdered that night . His remains were paraded on the streets of Murshidabad the next morning and were buried at the tomb of Alivardi Khan . According to the treaty drawn between the British and Mir Jafar , the British acquired all the land within the Maratha Ditch and 600 yards ( 550 m ) beyond it and the zamindari of all the land between Calcutta and the sea . Besides confirming the firman of 1717 , the treaty also required the restitution , including donations to the navy squadron , army and committee , of 22,000,000 rupees ( £ 2,750,000 ) to the British for their losses . However , since the wealth of Siraj - ud - daulah proved to be far less than expected , a council held with the Seths and Rai Durlabh on 29 June decided that one half of the amount was to be paid immediately -- two - thirds in coin and one third in jewels and other valuables . As the council ended , it was revealed to Omichund that he would receive nothing with regard to the treaty , hearing which he went insane . Effects ( edit ) 1744 1767 British territorial possessions in India Political effects ( edit ) As a result of the war of Plassey , the French were no longer a significant force in Bengal . In 1759 , the British defeated a larger French garrison at Masulipatam , securing the Northern Circars . By 1759 , Mir Jafar felt that his position as a subordinate to the British could not be tolerated . He started encouraging the Dutch to advance against the British and eject them from Bengal . In late 1759 , the Dutch sent seven large ships and 1400 men from Java to Bengal under the pretext of reinforcing their Bengal settlement of Chinsura even though Britain and Holland were not officially at war . Clive , however , initiated immediate offensive operations by land and sea and defeated the much larger Dutch force on 25 November 1759 in the Battle of Chinsura . The British then deposed Mir Jafar and installed Mir Qasim as the Nawab of Bengal . The British were now the paramount European power in Bengal . When Clive returned to England due to ill - health , he was rewarded with an Irish peerage , as Lord Clive , Baron of Plassey and also obtained a seat in the British House of Commons . The struggle continued in areas of the Deccan and Hyderabad such as Arcot , Wandewash , Tanjore and Cuddalore , culminating in 1761 when Col. Eyre Coote defeated a French garrison under de Lally , supported by Hyder Ali at Pondicherry . The French were returned Pondicherry in 1763 by way of the Treaty of Paris but they never again regained their former stature in India . The British would , in effect , emerge as rulers of the subcontinent in subsequent years . Economic effects ( edit ) The Battle of Plassey and the resultant victory of the British East India company led to puppet governments instated by them in various states of India . This led to an unleashing of excesses , malpractices and atrocities by the British East India Company in the name of tax collection .

The 12 - acre ( 4.9 ha ) area , built as part of Disney California Adventure Park 's $1.1 billion expansion project , opened on June 15 , 2012 . It contains three rides as well as shops and restaurants , all situated in a replica of Radiator Springs , the fictional town in which most of the first film 's events take place . The area 's main attraction is Radiator Springs Racers , a racing ride that uses the technology of Epcot 's Test Track . Contents 1 History 2 Attractions 2.1 Radiator Springs Racers 2.2 Mater 's Junkyard Jamboree 2.3 Luigi 's Rollickin ' Roadsters 3 Former attractions 4 Restaurants 5 Characters 6 Shopping 7 Layout 8 See also 9 References 10 External links History ( edit ) Most of the present - day site of Cars Land had been used as the `` Timon '' parking lot since 2001 ; the lot had been designated as future growth space for Disney California Adventure when it was originally designed in the 1990s , and was partially built over with The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and the Flik 's Fun Fair section of A Bug 's Land . A small portion of Cars Land was built over the site of the Bountiful Valley Farm , one of the park 's original attractions . Concept art for `` Carland '' appeared in the `` Dreaming '' section of the Walt Disney Company 's 2006 Annual Report , released on December 12 , 2006 , six months after Cars was released in theaters . The concept art depicted a racing simulator ride , but provided no specifics ; Disney CEO Bob Iger stated at the time that the concept art depicted projects at various stages of development , and that some of the projects depicted `` may never be built . '' On October 17 , 2007 , Disney announced a 5 - year , $1.1 billion renovation and expansion plan for Disney California Adventure . The plan included a major overhaul of several existing areas of the park and the addition of Cars Land , an area themed to the 2006 film ; Cars Land would be anchored by Radiator Springs Racers , a Cars version of Test Track , a ride at Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort . Cars Land along with the re-designed entrance plaza , Buena Vista Street , were the last features of the 5 - year project to be completed , and opened on June 15 , 2012 . Attractions ( edit ) Radiator Springs Racers Mater 's Junkyard Jamboree Luigi 's Flying Tires Radiator Springs Racers ( edit ) Radiator Springs Racers -- a slot car dark ride . The attraction takes guests in six - person vehicles through the winding roads up the mountains outside Radiator Springs and by the waterfall scene in the first film . The cars then enter the mountain and take a semi-wild ride through the outskirts of town where they encounter a number of characters . Eventually , they enter Radiator Springs at which point the track splits into two : one goes into Ramone 's while the other into Luigi 's . From here , the cars enter a briefing room where Doc gives guests some advice for the upcoming race . The two tracks come back near one another and two cars stop side - by - side . The race begins as the vehicles accelerate out of the mountain and through hairpin turns and steep banks , ending with a randomized race result and then a brief trip through Tail Light Caverns . The technology used is similar to Test Track at Epcot in Walt Disney World in Florida , and Journey to the Center of the Earth at Tokyo DisneySea . Mater 's Junkyard Jamboree ( edit ) Mater 's Junkyard Jamboree ( renamed Mater 's Graveyard JamBOOree during Halloween and Mater 's Jingle Jamboree during Christmas ) -- an attraction in the style of a whip ride themed to Mater 's Junkyard . Mater is the Master of Ceremonies of the Jamboree . The vehicles are baby tractors which pull trailers attached to them that move around with the music . Luigi 's Rollickin ' Roadsters ( edit ) Luigi 's Rollickin ' Roadsters ( renamed Luigi 's Honkin ' Haul - O - Ween during Halloween and Luigi 's Joy to the Whirl during Christmas ) -- Guests queue in Luigi 's Casa Della Tires shop and ride in vehicles that move and spin around to Italian music . The attraction uses a trackless ride system , similar to Aquatopia at Tokyo DisneySea . The ride vehicles are depicted as being Luigi 's cousins who have come to Radiator Springs for a dance celebration . The attraction , which officially opened March 7 , 2016 , replaced Luigi 's Flying Tires , the original attraction in this location . Former attractions ( edit ) Luigi 's Flying Tires Restaurants ( edit ) Flo 's V8 Cafe at night Cozy Cone Motel Flo 's V8 Cafe Fillmore 's Taste - in Characters ( edit ) Lightning McQueen ( dressed as a superhero during Halloween ) Mater ( dressed as a vampire during Halloween and as Santa Claus during Christmas ) Red ( dressed as a clown during Halloween ) Cruz Ramirez ( dressed as a pirate during Halloween ) DJ ( dressed as a punk rocker during Halloween ) Shopping ( edit ) Ramone 's House of Body Art Sarge 's Surplus Hut Radiator Springs Curios ( renamed Radiator Winter Curios during Christmas ) Layout ( edit ) The layout of Cars Land from the guest 's perspective is one of looking down the main street of Radiator Springs , USA , as seen in the original Cars film . There are references to the events of Cars 2 throughout the land , such as a billboard ( seen when entering from A Bug 's Land ) that gives Mater the title of `` Sir , '' and a signed photo of Finn McMissile with Luigi and Guido in Luigi 's Casa Della Tires , in addition to souvenirs from their World Grand Prix trip in a display case . The main street is Route 66 coming in from the Golden State area , across from the Golden Vine Winery and Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar .

His youngest daughter , Belle ( Léa Seydoux ) is the only one happy with the change . When one of the merchant 's ships is found , the merchant prepares to return to reclaim his assets . While his two older , spoiled daughters give him a long list of expensive things to bring back for them , Belle asks only for a rose . The merchant arrives and learns that the ship and its cargo have been taken to settle his debts . On the way home through the forest , the merchant loses his way , his horse slips and is injured , and they are attacked by wolves . He laments that he has `` not even a weapon to finish off '' the poor horse . The merchant stumbles upon the magical domain of the Beast ( Vincent Cassel ) . In the castle , all of his needs are magically met , including food , the exact items his daughters had asked him to bring , and his horse , magically cured . He packs up and departs with the items . Passing through the garden , he recalls Belle 's request of a rose , and he picks one . He is immediately confronted by the Beast , who thunders at him for taking the rose . As punishment , the Beast demands the merchant return to the castle in one day after saying goodbye to his children . If he fails to return , his family will be killed . The father returns home and tells the story to his children . Learning of her father 's fate , Belle , feeling responsible , takes her father 's horse and returns to the castle to offer herself in the place of her father . At the castle , Belle is accepted as a substitute for her father . She is given luxurious goods , and allowed to roam the grounds , but must return every evening for dinner with the Beast . The Beast asks Belle if she will love him , but she rejects him . At night , Belle has a series of vivid dreams , revealing the backstory of the Prince : he enjoys hunting , but often ignores the Princess ( Yvonne Catterfeld ) who loves him but is lonely . The Prince is after an elusive golden deer , and when the Princess asks him to stop hunting the deer , he promises to do so if she will give him a son . The prince later announces that they will have an heir , but when the princess reminds him of his promise , he seems to have forgotten . Belle makes the Beast a proposal ; she will dance with him , if she is allowed to see her family one last time . The two begin to dance , and the Beast once again asks for Belle 's love . Jarred , Belle demands to see her family as she had bargained . When the Beast refuses , Belle fervently rejects him . The same night , she witnesses the Beast prey upon and devour a hog . In shock , she attempts to escape by running into the enchanted forest , and falls into a frozen lake . The Beast pulls her from the water , and brings her to the castle . Belle has a final dream about how the Prince broke his promise and killed the golden deer . While dying , the deer transformed into the Princess , who revealed that she was the Nymph of the Forest who became human because she wanted to experience love . She begged her father , the god of the forest , to spare the prince from his anger , but he transformed the prince into a beast , changed the hunting dogs into Tadommes and his friends into statues . The god of the forest proclaimed that only the love of a woman would break the Beast 's eternal curse . The Beast agrees to let Belle return home , giving her a small vial of healing water . He tells her return to him in one day or he will `` die '' . Belle arrives home , where her father is bedridden , and seems to be dying . Belle gives him the vial of water , reviving him . Belle 's eldest brother , Maxime ( Nicolas Gob ) finds a jewel on her clothing , positing that the castle may contain further treasures . He wants to find it to settle his debt to gangster Perducas ( Eduardo Noriega ) . He knocks out his youngest brother , Tristan , who tries to stop him , and meets with Perducas and his gang , leading them to the castle . Belle attempts to return to the castle , and discovers that Maxime has taken the horse to meet with Perducas . Tristan takes her to the castle , arriving just as the Beast is about to kill the invaders , including Belle 's brothers . The Beast stops his attack when Belle begs for mercy . Perducas stabs the Beast , mortally wounding him . Belle and her brothers carry the Beast into the castle , and place him into the healing pool of water . Dying , the Beast asks whether Belle could ever love him , and she counters that she already does . The Beast sinks into the water , and comes up transformed back into the Prince . The Tadommes return to dogs , and Perducas is killed by the vines and turned into a human tree . The story is being told by Belle to her two young children . They are living in the same countryside house , surrounded by rose bushes , with Belle 's father , who is now a flower merchant . Belle goes outside to greet her husband , the Prince , and the two kiss and embrace .

Box office ( edit ) The film earned a total of US $49.1 million internationally . In Japan , the film topped the box office on its release , making it the first non-English - language foreign film to top the Japanese box office since Red Cliff II in 2009 , and the first French film to top the Japanese box office since Mathieu Kassovitz 's The Crimson Rivers in 2001 . Critical reception ( edit ) In France , the film received positive reviews . France Télévisions called the film Christophe Gans ' `` greatest success '' . They praised the colours and contrasts of the landscape , which they said recalled the work of American painter Maxfield Parrish , and the visual style , which they compared to films by Mario Bava and Tsui Hark . They also noted that Gans had successfully differentiated the film from the source material and prior adaptations , while keeping the `` spirit '' of the original story . Laurent Pecha of EcranLarge remarked that while the film was `` far from perfect '' , it was `` so ambitious '' compared to the `` doldrums '' of French cinema that Gans won her over . She called the introduction `` spectacular '' and praised Gans for his willingness to make the audience believe the `` incredible and improbable love story '' , praising the `` excellent '' Seydoux and Cassel . Writing for TF1 , Olivier Corriez gave the film 4 stars out of 5 and remarked that it was not easy to offer a modern interpretation of Beauty and the Beast as it had been adapted so many times before , but found Gans ' film `` flamboyant '' but `` accessible to all audiences '' . He said that it `` plays wonderfully on contrasts '' and praised Seydoux for her `` charm and tenderness '' and Cassel for providing `` brutality ( and ) weakness . '' International reviews for the film were mostly negative . Although the visuals and production design were praised , storytelling was criticized . On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film has a rating of 32 % , based on 19 reviews and the average rating is 4.6 / 10 . On Metacritic , which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 , the film has a score of 39 based on 10 reviews , indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews '' . Jessica Kiang of Indiewire thought the film was `` immensely , crushingly boring '' and Seydoux wasted in a role that required her to do little more than `` heave her breasts and fall over things prettily .

( abbreviated WWTBAM and informally known as simply Millionaire ) is an international television game show franchise of British origin , created by David Briggs , Mike Whitehill and Steven Knight . In its format , currently owned and licensed by Sony Pictures Television , contestants tackle a series of multiple - choice questions to win large cash prizes , with the format being a twist on the game show genre -- only one contestant plays at a time , similar to radio quizzes ; contestants are given the question before attempting an answer , and have no time limit to answer questions ; and the amount offered increases as they tackle questions that become increasingly difficult . The maximum cash prize offered in most versions of the format is one million of the local currency . The original British version debuted on 4 September 1998 , and was aired until its final episode on 11 February 2014 ; a revived series of seven episodes to commemorate its 20th anniversary in 2018 , were aired from 5 to 11 May . Since its debut , international variants of the game show have been aired in around 160 countries worldwide .

Tentatively known as Cash Mountain , the show took its finalised title from a song written by Cole Porter for the 1956 film High Society , starring by Frank Sinatra and Celeste Holm . Since the original version launched , several individuals have claimed that they originated the format and that Celador had breached their copyright and took the production company to court , but each claim was later settled out - of - court on an agreement / settlement . In March 2006 , original producer Celador announced that it was seeking to sell the worldwide rights to Millionaire , together with the rest of its British programme library , as the first phase of a sell - off of the company 's format and production divisions . The idea to transform the UK programme into a global franchise was conceived by British television producer Paul Smith . He laid out a series of rules that the international variants in the franchise were to follow : for example , all hosts were required to appear on - screen wearing Armani suits , as Tarrant did in the UK ; producers were forbidden from hiring local composers to create original music , instead using the same music cues used by the British version ; and the lighting system and set design were required to adhere faithfully to the way they were presented on the British version . However , some of Smith 's rules have been slightly relaxed over the years as the franchise 's history has progressed . Millionaire and all of Celador 's other programmes were ultimately acquired by Dutch company 2waytraffic . Two years later , Sony Pictures Entertainment purchased 2waytraffic for £ 137.5 million . The format of the show is currently owned and licensed by Sony Pictures Television ; however , the U.S. version is distributed not by Sony but by the Walt Disney Company 's in - home sales and content distribution firm , Disney -- ABC Domestic Television . Gameplay ( edit ) Rules ( edit ) A group of contestants on each episode play a preliminary round called `` Fastest Finger First '' . All are given a question by the host and four answers which must be placed within a particular order ; in the original version and pre-2003 episodes of the Australian version , contestants have to simply answer a multiple - choice question . If any contestants are visually impaired , the host reads the question and four choices all at once , then repeats the choices after the music for this round begins . The contestant who not only answers correctly , but in the fastest time , goes on to play the main game . In the event that no one gets the question right , another question is given ; if two or more contestants answer correctly but with the same time , they are given a tie - breaker amongst them to determine who will move on . This round is only used when a new contestant is being chosen to play the main round , and can be played more than once in an episode amongst those remaining within the group seeking to play the main game . In celebrity editions , the round is not used ; celebrities automatically take part in the main game . Once a contestant enters the main game , they are asked increasingly difficult general knowledge questions by the host . Each features four possible answers , in which the contestant must give the correct answer . Doing so wins them a certain amount of money , with tackling much tougher questions increasing their prize fund . During their game , the player has a set of lifelines that they may use only once to help them with a question , as well as two `` safety nets '' -- if a contestant gets a question wrong , but had reached a designated cash value during their game , they will leave with that amount as their prize . While the first few questions are generally easy , subsequent ones after them will prompt the host to ask if the answer they gave is their `` final answer '' -- if it is , then it is locked in and can not be changed . If a contestant feels unsure about an answer , and does not wish to play on , they can walk away with the money they have won , to which the host will ask them to confirm this as their final decision ; in such cases , the host will usually ask them to state what answer they would have gone for , and reveal if it would have been correct or incorrect . Original format ( edit ) During the British original , between 1998 and 2007 , the show 's format focused on fifteen questions . The safety nets in this format were set to £ 1,000 and £ 32,000 respectively , with the payout structure being as follows : For the first group of five questions : £ 100 - > £ 200 - > £ 300 - > £ 500 - > £ 1,000 For the second group of five questions : £ 2,000 - > £ 4,000 - > £ 8,000 - > £ 16,000 - > £ 32,000 For the final group of five questions : £ 64,000 - > £ 125,000 - > £ 250,000 - > £ 500,000 - > £ 1,000,000 After 2007 , the format was changed , reducing the number of questions to twelve ; the overall change in format was later incorporated into a number of international versions over a period of four years , including the Arab , Bulgarian , Dutch , French , Polish , Spanish , and Turkish versions . The payout structure , as a whole , was subsequently changed as a result , with the second safety net relocated to £ 50,000 : The first two questions : £ 500 - > £ 1,000 The next five questions : £ 2,000 - > £ 5,000 - > £ 10,000 - > £ 20,000 - > £ 50,000 The final five questions : £ 75,000 - > £ 150,000 - > £ 250,000 - > £ 500,000 - > £ 1,000,000 When the game show was revived for British television in 2018 , the format was changed a second time , reverting to the original arrangement used before 2007 , but with one notable difference , in that the second safety net was made adjustable -- once a contestant reached £ 1,000 , the host would ask them , before giving the next question , if they wish to set the next cash prize amount as the second safety net , with this allowing them to set up as high as £ 500,000 in their game as a result . US format ( edit ) An American syndication of the game show was conceived after the British original proved successful , debuting in 2002 . The only difference between it and the British version was that episodes were halved in length -- 30 minutes , as opposed to the 60 - minute length of the original version . The change meant that the preliminary round of the show was eliminated , and contestants had to pass a more conventional game show qualification test . Exceptions to this arrangement , in which it was used under the name `` Fastest Finger '' included : primetime special editions of the programme ; the 2004 series that was dubbed Super Millionaire , in which the final prize was increased to $10,000,000 ; and for the 10th anniversary special of the US edition , run during August 2009 for eleven episodes . The decision to remove this round would later occur in other international versions , including the British original . In 2008 , the U.S. version changed its format so that contestants were required to answer questions within a set time limit . The limit varied depending on the difficulty of the question : 15 seconds for questions 1 -- 5 30 seconds for question 6 -- 10 45 seconds for question 11 -- 14 Time for each question began counting down immediately after a question was given and its answers revealed , but was temporarily paused when a lifeline was used . If a contestant exceeded the time limit , they were forced to walk away with any prize money they had won up to that point . Any time not used in these questions was banked for use in the final question . This format change was later adopted into other international versions -- the British original , for example , adopted this change for episodes on 3 August 2010 . On 13 September 2010 , the U.S. version adopted a second and more significant change in its format . In this change , the game featured two rounds . The first round consisted of ten questions , in which the cash prize associated to each = , along with the category and difficulty for each question is randomised per game . As such , the difficulty of the question in this round , is ' not ' tied to the value associated to it , and a contestant does not know what amount they won unless they provide a correct answer , or choose to walk away . As part of this format , the amount of money a contestant won in this round was banked , but if they walk away before completing the round , they left with half the amount that had been banked ; if they gave an incorrect answer during this round , they left with just $1,000 . If they answered all ten questions correctly , they then moved onto the second round , which stuck to the standard format of the game show -- the remaining questions are set to general knowledge and feature cash prizes of high , non-cumulative values . The contestant can , at this point , walk away with the total amount banked from the first round ; otherwise , an incorrect answer meant they left with $25,000 . The format was later modified for the fourteenth season of the US version , but retained the same arrangement for the last four questions . In 2015 , the so - called `` shuffle format '' was scrapped and the show returned to a version that closely resembled the original format . Other international formats ( edit ) Other notable formats used in international variations of the show , and used subsequently in other versions , included : In 2007 , the German version modified the show 's format with the inclusion of a feature called `` Risk Mode '' . During the main game , contestants were given the option of choosing this feature , in which if they chose to use it , they gained the used of a fourth lifeline that allowed them to discuss a question with a member of the audience , in exchange for having no second safety net -- if they got any question between the sixth and final cash prize amount wrong , they would leave with the guaranteed amount given for correctly answering five questions . This modified format was subsequently adopted for use in a variety of international versions abroad , including Austria , the Czech Republic , Hungary , the Philippines , Poland , Russia , Switzerland and Venezuela . In November 2008 , the Norwegian version modified the show format under the title of `` Hot Seat '' . In this variation of the game , six contestant took part , with each taking it in turns to answer questions and build up their prize fund . Utilising the time limit format introduced in the US version , this variation on the format granted a contestant the right to pass the question on to another player , who can not pass it on themselves , while eliminating both the option of walking away from a question , and the use of lifelines . If a contestant can not pass on or correctly answer a question , they are eliminated , and the highest cash value they made is removed . The game ends when all contestants are eliminated or the question for the highest cash value is answered -- if a contestant who answers the final question gives a correct answer , they win that prize ; otherwise , the last contestant to be eliminated receives a small prize if they reach the fifth question safety net . This format was later introduced to various markets over the course of a four year - period from 2009 to 2012 , including Italy , Hungary , Spain , Vietnam , Indonesia , Australia , and Chile . In 2017 , Australia 's version was modified to use the Norwegian 's Hot Seat format . As part of this modification , the game Incorporated the use of the Fastest Finger First round , with the winner able to select a lifeline , out of three that the show provided . Lifelines ( edit ) During a standard play of the game , a contestant is given a series of lifelines to aid them with difficult questions . In the standard format , a contestant has access to three lifelines -- the contents can use each only once per game , but can use more than one on a single question . The standard lifelines used in the original format of the game show include Ask the Audience : When selected , each audience member takes up a voting pad , and votes the answer that they believe is correct for the question . Once the vote is tallied , the contestant is shown what the result of it was , displayed in percentages for each answer . 50 : 50 : When selected , the game 's computer selects two wrong answers for the current question and eliminates them , leaving behind the correct answer , and one remaining incorrect answer . Phone a Friend : When selected , a friend of the contestant is rung up , and tasked with providing assistance to them on the question . They are given only 30 seconds to provide input , with the time beginning the moment the contestant begins telling them what the question is , and the four possible answers for it . In the US version , some lifelines used corporate sponsorship . The US version of `` Phone - a-Friend '' was sponsored by the original AT&T throughout the run of the ABC primetime show and in the first season of the syndicated version , and then by the current AT&T for the 2009 primetime episodes . From 2004 to 2006 , the US version of `` Ask the Audience '' was sponsored by AOL , which allowed users of its Instant Messenger to add the screen name MillionaireIM to their contact list and receive an instant message with the question and the four possible answers , to which the users replied with their choices . In some countries which aired live editions of the programme , anyone nominated to be used for `` Phone a Friend '' were informed to be prepared for when they are alerted to their friend playing the game , and required to have their phone free and wait for three rings before answering . On 11 January 2010 , the US version eliminated the use of `` Phone a Friend '' , after it was determined that there was an increasing trend of contestants ' friends using web search engines and other Internet resources to assist them , which unfairly privileged individuals who had computer access over those who did not , and that it was contrary to the original intent of the lifeline , by which friends were supposed to provide assistance based on what they already knew . In the original British version , in the more recent series , a security guy from the production office would be at the friend 's house to make sure that the friend does n't cheat , and in The People Play specials in 2012 and 2013 , the friends are not actually on the phone , they are locked away in a studio backstage instead , and they can not see or hear what 's been going on throughout the show until one of them gets called . When the contestant calls one of their friends , the friend appears onscreen and both the contestant and friend can see and hear each other . Unique lifelines ( edit ) During the course of the game show 's history , there were a number of unique lifeline additions in various versions of the programme : Switch the Question -- Used in the US version between 2004 and 2008 , and in the UK original during celebrity specials between 2002 -- 03 and standard episode between 2010 -- 14 , this lifeline was made available after a contestant answered the tenth question of the game . When used , the computer replaced the current question with another of the same difficulty . However , use of this lifeline came with a risk -- if used , the contestant could not reinstate any lifelines used on the original question . A variation of this lifeline for the US version , called `` Cut the Question '' , was brought into use in 2014 for a week - long run of special episodes that featured child contestants , in which it could only be used within the first ten questions . Double Dip -- One of two lifelines created for the Super Millionaire spin - off of the US version . When used , this lifeline allowed contestants to make two guesses at a question , but forbade them from using any other lifelines they had left or from walking away , however if the contestant chose to use 50 / 50 and then use Double Dip on the same question , it would guarantee them the correct answer , and they would win the amount of money that they are playing for without risking to lose out on an incorrect answer . When the US format incorporated the use of a time limit on questions , the `` 50 / 50 '' lifeline was replaced by this one . This lifeline was also used in the Russian version , however unlike the US version , it did not replace 50 / 50 ( rather it was a fourth lifeline ) , nor did they introduce the clock format . Three Wise Men -- One of two lifelines created for the Super Millionaire spin - off of the US version . When used , the contestant asks a sequestered panel of three people , all chosen by the producers and appearing via face - to - face audio and video feeds , to help them with answering a question . Like `` Phone a Friend '' , this lifeline incorporated a 30 - second time limit for its use . This lifeline was also used in the Russian version between 2006 and 2008 , however unlike the American version it was used only with the participation of ordinary people in the game . Ask the Expert -- Based upon `` Three Wise Men '' , this lifeline provided the contestant with one person , an expert selected for them , to help them with the question . Unlike its predecessor , this lifeline had no time limit on its use , but was only available after the fifth question ; after `` Phone a Friend '' was removed , it was made readily available at anytime in the game . In the US version , the lifeline was sponsored by Skype for its live audio and video feeds . In the Hong Kong edition , it replaced the `` Phone a Friend '' lifeline for one - off special in 2001 and for two celebrity specials in 2018 , though with the celebrity contestants able to ask a panel of experts for help , present in the audience , all of whom had the question and possible answers visible to them . Ask One of the Audience -- Used in the German version of the show , this lifeline was designed for use as part of its `` Risk Mode '' format . When used , the contestant selects someone from the audience , whereupon the host rereads the question and the possible answers and asks them to chose one . If the contestant goes for the answer they chose and it proves correct , the audience member is given a small cash prize in return . This lifeline was implemented as part of the Costa Rican version , but made available after passing the first safety net . Ask Three of the Audience -- Used in the Vietnamese version of the show , this lifeline was designed for use as part of its Original format . When used , the contestant selects three from the audience , whereupon the host rereads the question and the possible answers and asks them to chose one . If the contestant goes for the answer they chose and it proves correct , the audience member is given a small cash prize in return . This lifeline was implemented as part of the Vietnamese version , but made available after passing the 5th question . In the Philippine version , the lifeline is called People Speak , which can be used at any point in the game . Jump the Question -- Used in the US version of the show , as part of the `` Shuffle Format '' , from the start of the ninth season to the end of thirteenth season . When used , prior to giving a final answer , a contestant would skip the current question and move on to the next one , but would earn no money from the question they skipped ; the lifeline could not be used if they have reached the final question . Unlike other lifelines , it could be used twice during a game , except for the thirteenth season -- the introduction of `` Plus One '' led to the lifeline being modified as a result . Crystal Ball -- Used in the US version of the show , as part of specially designated weeks that used the `` Shuffle Format '' . When used during the first round , the contestant is allowed to see the cash amount that is designated to the question they are currently on . + 1 -- Used in the US version of the show from 2015 onwards . Based on `` Ask One of the Audience '' , the lifeline allows a contestant to invite on a friend from the audience to come and help them answer the question . There is no time limit , but after that question has been answered the friend has to return to the audience . Ask the Host -- Used in the 20th anniversary of the British original . When used by the contestant , the host uses their knowledge of a question 's subject , gives their thoughts about the question , and tries to assist them with finding the correct answer out of the choices given . The lifeline features no time limit , and the host reassures all they have no connection to the outside world and receive the question and possible answers for it at the same time as the contestant , and thus have no knowledge of what the correct answer is . Top prize winners ( edit ) Out of all contestants that have played the game , few have been able to win the top prize on any international version of the show . The first was John Carpenter , who won the top prize on the U.S. version on 19 November 1999 . Carpenter did not use a lifeline until the final question , using his Phone - a-Friend not for help but to call his father to tell him he had won the million . Other notable top prize winners include Judith Keppel , the first winner of the UK version ; Kevin Olmstead from the U.S. version , who won a progressive jackpot of $2.18 million ; Martin Flood from the Australian version , who was investigated by producers after suspicions that he had cheated , much like Charles Ingram , but was later cleared ; and Sushil Kumar from the Indian version , who is often referred to in Western media as the `` real - life Slumdog Millionaire '' . Of all the international versions , the Japanese version has produced the most number ( 38 ) of top prize winners , including juniors . The most recent Millionaire winner is Hooman Vojdani in the Austrian version , who won € 1.000. 000 on June 4 , 2018 . Original version ( edit ) Main article : Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? ( UK game show ) Chris Tarrant was host of the original British version , since its debut in September 1998 , until its final episode in February 2014 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? debuted in Britain on 4 September 1998 , with episodes broadcast on the ITV network . When it began airing , the show was hosted by Chris Tarrant , and became an instant hit -- at its peak in 1999 , one edition of the show was watched by over 19 million viewers . While most of the contestants were predominantly members of the general public who had applied to take part , the show later featured special celebrity editions during its later years , often coinciding with holidays and special events . On 22 October 2013 , Tarrant decided to quit the show after hosting it for 15 years . His decision led ITV to subsequently make plans to cancel the programme at the end of his contract , with no further specials being made other than those that were already planned . Tarrant 's final episode was a special clip show entitled `` Chris ' Final Answer '' , which aired on 11 February 2014 . Four years later , ITV revived the programme for a special 7 - episode series , to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the British original . This series of special episodes was hosted by Jeremy Clarkson and aired every evening between 6 May and 11 May 2018 . International versions ( edit ) Main article : International versions of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? Since the British original debuted in 1998 , several different versions of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? have been created across the world , including Australia , the United States , and India . In total over 100 different international variations have been made . Australia ( edit ) On 18 April 1999 , Nine Network launched an Australian version of the game show for its viewers . This version ran until its final episode , aired on 3 April 2006 . After the first version ended , a second version was created , running for six episodes across October and November 2007 , before a third version , entitled Millionaire Hot Seat , made its debut on 20 April 2009 . The original version was hosted Eddie McGuire , until he was forced to sacrifice his on - air commitments upon being made the CEO of the network ; after his resignation from this role , he resumed his duties as host of subsequent versions of the programme . United States ( edit ) On 16 August 1999 , ABC launched an American version of the game show for its primetime viewers . Hosted by Regis Philbin , it proved to be a ratings success , becoming the highest - rated television show during the 1999 -- 2000 season , with its average audience figures reaching approximately 29 million viewers . However , ABC overexposed the series , causing viewers figures to drop . This version was cancelled as a result , with its final episode aired on 27 June 2002 . On 16 September 2002 , Meredith Vieira launched a daily syndicated version of the programme , in which she presided as host for 11 seasons until May 2013 . After her departure , the show was hosted by Cedric the Entertainer in 2013 , and Terry Crews in 2014 , before Chris Harrison took full hosting responsibilities in Autumn 2015 . Russia ( edit ) On 1 October 1999 , NTV launched a Russian version the game show , entitled О , счастливчик ! ( `` Oh , lucky man ! ! ! '' ) . This version ran until its final episode on 28 January 2001 , whereupon a few weeks later it was relaunched under the Russian translation of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? , on Channel One . The relaunched version was hosted by Maxim Galkin until 2008 , when he was replaced as host by Dmitry Dibrov after that . India ( edit ) On 3 July 2000 , an Indian version of the game show was launched . The show was hosted by Amitabh Bachchan in his first appearance on Indian television , and received additional seasons in 2005 -- 06 , 2007 , and then every year since 2010 . Subsequent Indian versions were also made , including one on 9 April 2012 entitled Ningalkkum Aakaam Kodeeshwaran , and hosted by Suresh Gopi . The original Indian version became immortalised in 2008 , within the plot of Danny Boyle 's award - winning drama film Slumdog Millionaire . adapted from the 2005 Indian novel Q & A by Vikas Swarup , Philippines ( edit ) In 2000 , a Filipino version of the game show was launched by the government - sequestered Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation . Hosted by Christopher de Leon , and produced by Viva Television , it ran for two years before being axed . On 23 May 2009 , the show was relaunched on TV5 , with Vic Sotto as the new host . The relaunched version was aired until 7 October 2012 , when it was replaced by the Philippine version of The Million Pound Drop Live , but returned the following year on 15 September 2013 , after the talent show Talentadong Pinoy was dropped by the broadcaster that year . Other versions ( edit ) Other notable versions created in other countries , include the following : In 1999 , a Dutch version of the game show , entitled Lotto Weekend Miljonairs , was launched on SBS 6 . It was hosted by Robert ten Brink . In 2006 , the show was moved to RTL 4 and was hosted by Jeroen van der Boom until it was cancelled in 2008 . The show was later revived in 2011 . On 3 September 1999 , a German version was launched by RTL Television , with Günther Jauch hosting the game show .

In 2001 , a Hong Kong version called Baak Maan Fu Yung was launched by Asia Television . It ran until 2005 , and was hosted by actor Kenneth Chan . In 2007 , a Chinese version was launched , hosted by Lǐ Fán . It ran until the end of 2008 . In 2010 , a Sri Lankan version called Obada Lakshapathi Mamada Lakshapathi was launched on Sirasa TV of Maharaja Network . In 2018 , a Nepalese version of the game was launched under the title of Ko Banchha Crorepati . The show is hosted by superstar Rajesh Hamal on Ap1Hd . On 11 August 2018 , a Mauritian Version has been launched on MBC 1 by the Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation . The show is present by Sandra Mayotte , 14th female host for the franchise `` Qui Veu Gagner Des Millions ? '' . Hallmarks ( edit ) Music ( edit ) The musical score most commonly associated with the franchise was composed by father - and - son duo Keith and Matthew Strachan . The Strachans ' score provides drama and tension , and unlike older game show musical scores , Millionaire 's musical score was created to feature music playing almost throughout the entire show . The Strachans ' main Millionaire theme song takes inspiration from the `` Mars '' movement of Gustav Holst 's The Planets , and their question cues from the £ 2,000 to the £ 32,000 / £ 50,000 level , and then from the £ 64,000 / £ 75,000 level onwards , take the pitch up a semitone for each subsequent question , in order to increase tension as the contestant progressed through the game . On Game Show Network ( GSN ) 's Gameshow Hall of Fame special , the narrator described the Strachan tracks as `` mimicking the sound of a beating heart '' , and stated that as the contestant works their way up the money ladder , the music is `` perfectly in tune with their ever - increasing pulse '' . The Strachans ' Millionaire soundtrack was honoured by the American Society of Composers , Authors and Publishers with numerous awards , the earliest of them awarded in 2000 . The original music cues were given minor rearrangements for the U.S. version 's clock format in 2008 ; for example , the question cues were synced to the `` ticking '' sounds of the game clock . Even later , the Strachan score was removed from the U.S. version altogether for the introduction of the shuffle format in 2010 , in favour of a new musical score with cues written by Jeff Lippencott and Mark T. Williams , co-founders of the Los Angeles - based company Ah2 Music . Set ( edit ) TV studio of ¿ Quién quiere ser millonario ? , the Salvadorian version of the show . The basic set design used in the Millionaire franchise was conceived by British production designer Andy Walmsley , and is the most reproduced scenic design in television history . Unlike older game shows whose sets are or were designed to make the contestant ( s ) feel at ease , Millionaire 's set was designed to make the contestant feel uncomfortable , so that the programme feels more like a movie thriller than a typical quiz show . The floor is made of Plexiglas beneath which lies a huge dish covered in mirror paper . The main game typically has the contestant and host sit in `` Hot Seats '' , which are slightly - modified , 3 foot ( 0.91 m ) - high Pietranera Arco All chairs situated in the centre of the stage ; an LG computer monitor directly facing each seat displays questions and other pertinent information . The lighting system is programmed to darken the set as the contestant progresses further into the game . There are also spotlights situated at the bottom of the set area that zoom down on the contestant when they answer a major question ; to increase the visibility of the light beams emitted by such spotlights , oil is vaporised , creating a haze effect . Media scholar Dr. Robert Thompson , a professor at Syracuse University , stated that the show 's lighting system made the contestant feel as though they were outside a prison while an escape was in progress . When the U.S. Millionaire introduced its shuffle format , the Hot Seats and corresponding monitors were replaced with a single podium and as a result , the contestant and host stand throughout the game and are also able to walk around the stage . According to Vieira , the Hot Seat was removed because it was decided that the seat , which was originally intended to make the contestant feel nervous , actually ended up having contestants feel so comfortable in it that it did not service the production team any longer . Also , two video screens were installed -- one that displays the current question in play , and another that displays the contestant 's cumulative total and progress during the game . In September 2012 , the redesigned set was improved with a modernised look and feel , in order to take into account the show 's transition to high - definition broadcasting , which had just come about the previous year . The two video screens were replaced with two larger ones , having twice as many projectors as the previous screens ; the previous contestant podium was replaced with a new one ; and light - emitting diode ( LED ) technology was integrated into the lighting system to give the lights more vivid colours and the set and gameplay experience a more intimate feel . Catchphrase ( edit ) Millionaire has made catchphrases out of several lines used on the show . The most well - known of these catchphrases is the host 's question `` Is that your final answer ? '' , asked whenever a contestant 's answer needs to be verified . The question is asked because the rules require that the contestants must clearly indicate their choices before they are made official , the nature of the game allowing them to ponder the options before committing to an answer . Regularly on tier - three questions , a dramatic pause occurs between the contestant 's statement of their answer and the host 's acknowledgement of whether or not it is correct . Many parodies of Millionaire have capitalised on the `` final answer '' catchphrase . In the United States , the phrase was popularised by Philbin during his tenure as the host of that country 's version , to the extent that TV Land listed it in its special 100 Greatest TV Quotes and Catchphrases , which aired in 2006 . On the Australian versions , McGuire replaces the phrase with `` Lock it in ? '' ; likewise , the Indian version 's hosts have used varying `` lock '' catchphrases . There are also a number of other non-English versions of Millionaire where the host does not ask `` ( Is that your ) final answer ? '' or a literal translation thereof . Besides the `` final answer '' question , other catchphrases used on the show include the contestants ' requests to use lifelines , such as `` I 'd like to phone a friend '' ; and a line that Tarrant spoke whenever a contestant was struggling with a particular question , `` Some questions are only easy if you know the answer . '' Reception ( edit ) Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? has been credited with single - handedly reviving interest in , and breaking new ground for , the television game show . It revolutionised the look and feel of game shows with its unique lighting system , dramatic music cues , and futuristic set . The show also became one of the most popular game shows in television history , and is credited by some with paving the way for the phenomenon of reality programming . Awards , accolades and honours ( edit ) In 2000 , the British Film Institute honoured the UK version of Millionaire by ranking it number 23 on its `` BFI TV 100 '' list , which compiled what British television industry professionals believed were the greatest programmes to have ever originated from that country . The UK Millionaire also won the 1999 British Academy Television Award for Best Entertainment Programme , and four National Television Awards for Most Popular Quiz Programme from 2002 to 2005 . The original primetime version of the U.S. Millionaire won two Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Game / Audience Participation Show in 2000 and 2001 . Philbin was honoured with a Daytime Emmy in the category of Outstanding Game Show Host in 2001 , while Vieira received one in 2005 and another in 2009 , making her the second woman to win an Emmy Award for hosting a game show , and the first to win multiple times . TV Guide ranked the U.S. Millionaire No. 7 on its 2001 list of the 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time , and later ranked it No. 6 on its 2013 `` 60 Greatest Game Shows '' list . GSN ranked Millionaire No. 5 on its August 2006 list of the 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time , and later honoured the show in January 2007 on its first , and so far only , Gameshow Hall of Fame special . Ingram cheating scandal ( edit ) Charles Ingram became infamous for cheating on the programme with a method that staff had not anticipated Although the show employed many ways of preventing cheating , no one working on the British original was prepared for a unique style employed by one contestant -- British Army Major Charles Ingram . In September 2001 , Ingram took part on the game show for two days , joined by his wife Diana and college lecturer Tecwen Whittock . After his first day , he devised a plan to help him win the £ 1 million cash prize the following day -- for each question he faced , Ingram would read out the answers for a question , whereupon Whittock , who sat amongst the contestants who would play Fastest Finger First , would cough whenever the correct answer was spoken out . As Ingram drew close to the top prize , production staff backstage became suspicious over the amount of back noise Whittock was creating with his coughing . In addition , they also became concerned that Ingram showed no sign of having specialist knowledge on any subject he faced in his questions , in contrast to previous contestants . After the episode had been filmed , an investigation was ordered . Ingram was informed that he was suspected of cheating , and thus was not allowed to take his winnings ; his reaction to this news further justified suspicions he had cheated . When the footage was reviewed , staff began to notice the pattern between Whittock 's coughing and Ingram 's behaviour when he chose an answer . After suspending the broadcast of both episodes Ingram featured in , police were called in to investigate the matter further . In April 2003 , Ingram , Diana , and Whittock , were taken to court on the charge of using fraudulent means to win the top prize on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? . During the trial , the defence claimed that Whittock had simply suffered from allergies during recording of the second episode , but the prosecution refuted this by revealing footage that showed his coughing stopped , upon Ingram leaving the set and Whittock subsequently taking his turn on the main game . The trial concluded with all three being found guilty and receiving suspended sentences . After the trial , ITV aired a documentary about the scandal , along with Ingram 's entire game , complete with Whittock 's coughing sounds . As a joke , Benylin cough syrup paid to have the first commercial shown during the programme 's commercial break . Other Media ( edit ) Merchandise ( edit ) Three board game adaptations of the UK Millionaire were released by Upstarts in 1998 , and a junior edition recommended for younger players was introduced in 2001 . The U.S. version also saw two board games of its own , released by Pressman Toy Corporation in 2000 . Other Millionaire board games have included a game based on the Australian version 's Hot Seat format , which was released by UGames ; a game based on the Italian version released by Hasbro ; and a game based on the French version which was released by TF1 's games division . An electronic tabletop version of the game was released by Tiger Electronics in 2000 . Six different DVD games based on the UK Millionaire , featuring Tarrant 's likeness and voice , were released by Zoo Digital Publishing and Universal Studios Home Entertainment between 2002 and 2008 . In 2008 , Imagination Games released a DVD game based on the U.S. version , based on the 2004 -- 08 format and coming complete with Vieira 's likeness and voice , as well as a quiz book and a 2009 desktop calendar . The UK Millionaire saw five video game adaptations for personal computers and Sony 's PlayStation consoles , produced by Hothouse Creations and Eidos Interactive . Between 1999 and 2001 , Jellyvision produced five games based on the U.S. network version for PCs and the PlayStation , all of them featuring Philbin 's likeness and voice . The first of these adaptations was published by Disney Interactive , while the later four were published by Buena Vista Interactive which had just been spun off from DI when it reestablished itself in attempts to diversify its portfolio . Of the five games , three featured general trivia questions , one was sports - themed , and another was a `` Kids Edition '' featuring easier questions . Two additional U.S. Millionaire games were released by Ludia in conjunction with Ubisoft in 2010 and 2011 ; the first of these was a game for Nintendo 's Wii console and DS handheld system based on the 2008 -- 10 clock format , with the Wii version offered on the show as a consolation prize to audience contestants during the 2010 -- 11 season . The second , for Microsoft 's Xbox 360 , was based on the shuffle format and was offered as a consolation prize during the next season ( 2011 -- 12 ) . Ludia also made a Facebook game based on Millionaire available to players in North America from 2011 to 2016 . This game featured an altered version of the shuffle format , condensing the number of questions to twelve -- eight in round one and four in round two . Contestants competed against eight other Millionaire fans in round one , with the top three playing round two alone . There was no `` final answer '' rule ; the contestant 's responses were automatically locked in . Answering a question correctly earned a contestant the value of that question , multiplied by the number of people who responded incorrectly . Contestants were allowed to use two of their Facebook friends as Jump the Question lifelines in round one , and to use the Ask the Audience lifeline in round two to invite up to 50 such friends of theirs to answer a question for a portion of the prize money of the current question . Disney parks attraction ( edit ) Main article : Who Wants to Be a Millionaire -- Play It ! The building housing the California version after its 2004 closure A theme park attraction based on the show , known as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire -- Play It ! , appeared at Disney 's Hollywood Studios ( when it was known as Disney - MGM Studios ) at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando , Florida and at Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim , California . Both the Florida and California Play It ! attractions opened in 2001 ; the California version closed in 2004 , and the Florida version closed in 2006 and was replaced by Toy Story Midway Mania ! The format in the Play It ! attraction was very similar to that of the television show that inspired it . When a show started , a `` Fastest Finger '' question was given , and the audience was asked to put the four answers in order ; the person with the fastest time was the first contestant in the Hot Seat for that show . However , the main game had some differences : for example , contestants competed for points rather than dollars , the questions were set to time limits , and the Phone - a-Friend lifeline became Phone a Complete Stranger which connected the contestant to a Disney cast member outside the attraction 's theatre who would find a guest to help . After the contestant 's game was over , they were awarded anything from a collectible pin , to clothing , to a Millionaire CD game , to a 3 - night Disney Cruise .

7323139987930030038 | Gall–Peters projection | Gall -- Peters projection - wikipedia Gall -- Peters projection The Gall -- Peters projection of the world map The Gall -- Peters projection is a rectangular map projection that maps all areas such that they have the correct sizes relative to each other . Like any equal - area projection , it achieves this goal by distorting most shapes . The projection is a particular example of the cylindrical equal - area projection with latitudes 45 ° north and south as the regions on the map that have no distortion . The projection is named after James Gall and Arno Peters . Gall is credited with describing the projection in 1855 at a science convention . He published a paper on it in 1885 . Peters brought the projection to a wider audience beginning in the early 1970s by means of the `` Peters World Map '' . The name `` Gall -- Peters projection '' seems to have been used first by Arthur H. Robinson in a pamphlet put out by the American Cartographic Association in 1986 . Maps based on the projection are promoted by UNESCO , and they are also widely used by British schools . In the U.S. state of Massachusetts , Boston Public Schools began phasing in these maps in March 2017 , becoming the first public school district in the United States to adopt Gall -- Peters maps as their standard . The Gall -- Peters projection achieved notoriety in the late 20th century as the centerpiece of a controversy about the political implications of map design .

For longitude given in radians , remove the π / 180 ° factors . Simplified formula ( edit ) Stripping out unit conversion and uniform scaling , the formulae may be written : x = R λ y = 2 R sin φ ( \ displaystyle ( \ begin ( aligned ) x& = R \ lambda \ \ y& = 2R \ sin \ varphi \ end ( aligned ) ) ) where λ is the longitude from the central meridian ( in radians ) , φ is the latitude , and R is the radius of the globe used as the model of the earth for projection . Hence the sphere is mapped onto the vertical cylinder , and the cylinder is stretched to double its length . The stretch factor , 2 in this case , is what distinguishes the variations of cylindric equal - area projection . Discussion ( edit ) The Gall -- Peters cylindrical equal - area projection with Tissot 's indicatrices of deformation The various specializations of the cylindric equal - area projection differ only in the ratio of the vertical to horizontal axis . This ratio determines the standard parallel of the projection , which is the parallel at which there is no distortion and along which distances match the stated scale . There are always two standard parallels on the cylindric equal - area projection , each at the same distance north and south of the equator . The standard parallels of the Gall -- Peters are 45 ° N and 45 ° S. Several other specializations of the equal - area cylindric have been described , promoted , or otherwise named .

He gave it the name `` orthographic '' and formally published his work in 1885 in the Scottish Geographical Magazine . The projection is suggestive of the Orthographic projection in that distances between parallels of the Gall -- Peters are a constant multiple of the distances between the parallels of the orthographic . That constant is √ 2 . The name `` Gall -- Peters projection '' seems to have been used first by Arthur H. Robinson in a pamphlet put out by the American Cartographic Association in 1986 . Before 1973 it had been known , when referred to at all , as the `` Gall orthographic '' or `` Gall 's orthographic . '' Most Peters supporters refer to it only as the `` Peters projection . '' During the years of controversy the cartographic literature tended to mention both attributions , settling on one or the other for the purposes of the article . In recent years `` Gall -- Peters '' seems to dominate . Peters world map ( edit ) The right and left borders of the Peters map are in the Bering Strait , so all of Russia is displayed on the right side . Greenwich great circle Bering Strait great circle ( traversing Florence in Italy , see Florence meridian ) Comparison of the Gall -- Peters projection and some cylindrical equal - area map projections with Tissot indicatrix , standard parallels and aspect ratio In 1967 , Arno Peters , a German filmmaker , devised a map projection identical to Gall 's orthographic projection and presented it in 1973 as a `` new invention '' . He promoted it as a superior alternative to the Mercator projection , which was suited to navigation but also used commonly in world maps . The Mercator projection increasingly inflates the sizes of regions according to their distance from the equator . This inflation results , for example , in a representation of Greenland that is larger than Africa , which has a geographic area 14 times greater than Greenland 's . Since much of the technologically underdeveloped world lies near the equator , these countries appear smaller on a Mercator and therefore , according to Peters , seem less significant . On Peters 's projection , by contrast , areas of equal size on the globe are also equally sized on the map . By using his `` new '' projection , Peters argued that poorer , less powerful nations could be restored to their rightful proportions . This reasoning has been picked up by many educational and religious bodies , leading to adoption of the Gall -- Peters projection among some socially concerned groups , including Oxfam , National Council of Churches , New Internationalist magazine , and the Mennonite Central Committee . However , Peters 's choice of 45 ° N / S for the standard parallels means that the regions displayed with highest accuracy include Europe and the US , and not the tropics . Peters 's original description of the projection for his map contained a geometric error that , taken literally , implies standard parallels of 46 ° 02 ′ N / S. However the text accompanying the description made it clear that he had intended the standard parallels to be 45 ° N / S , making his projection identical to Gall 's orthographic . In any case , the difference is negligible in a world map . Controversy ( edit ) This section 's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia . See Wikipedia 's guide to writing better articles for suggestions . ( January 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Further information : Geography and Imperialism At first , the cartographic community largely ignored Peters 's foray into cartography . The preceding century had already witnessed many campaigns for new projections with little visible result . Just twenty years earlier , for example , Trystan Edwards described and promoted his own eponymous projection , disparaging the Mercator , and recommending his projection as the solution . Peters 's projection differed from Edwards 's only in height - to - width ratio . More problematic , Peters 's projection was identical to one that was already over a century old , though he probably did not realize it . That projection -- Gall 's orthographic -- passed unnoticed when it was announced in 1855 . Beyond the lack of novelty in the projection itself , the claims Peters made about the projection were also familiar to cartographers . Just as in the case of Peters , earlier projections generally were promoted as alternatives to the Mercator . Inappropriate use of the Mercator projection in world maps and the size disparities figuring prominently in Peters 's arguments against the Mercator projection had been remarked upon for centuries and quite commonly in the 20th century . As early as 1943 , Stewart notes this phenomenon and compares the quest for the perfect projection to `` squaring the circle or making pi come out even '' because the mathematics that governs map projections just does not permit development of a map projection that is objectively significantly better than the hundreds already devised . Even Peters 's politicized interpretation of the common use of Mercator was nothing new , with Kelloway 's 1946 text mentioning a similar controversy . Cartographers had long despaired over publishers ' inapt use of the Mercator . A 1943 New York Times editorial stated that `` The time has come to discard ( the Mercator ) for something that represents the continents and directions less deceptively ... Although its usage ... has diminished ... it is still highly popular as a wall map apparently in part because , as a rectangular map , it fills a rectangular wall space with more map , and clearly because its familiarity breeds more popularity . '' Because of the lack of novelty both in the projection Peters devised and in the rhetoric surrounding its promotion , the cartographic community had no reason to think Peters would succeed any more than Edwards or his predecessors had . Peters , however , launched his campaign in a different world from that of Edwards . He announced his map at a time when themes of social justice resonated strongly in academia and politics . Suggesting `` cartographic imperialism '' , Peters found ready audiences . The campaign was bolstered by the claim that the Peters projection was the only `` area - correct '' map . Other claims included `` absolute angle conformality '' , `` no extreme distortions of form '' , and `` totally distance - factual '' . All of those claims were erroneous . Some of the oldest projections are equal - area ( the sinusoidal projection is also known as the `` Mercator equal - area projection '' ) , and hundreds have been described , refuting any implication that Peters 's map is special in that regard . In any case , Mercator was not the pervasive projection Peters made it out to be : a wide variety of projections has always been used in world maps . Peters 's chosen projection suffers extreme distortion in the polar regions , as any cylindrical projection must , and its distortion along the equator is considerable . Several scholars have remarked on the irony of the projection 's undistorted presentation of the mid latitudes , including Peters 's native Germany , at the expense of the low latitudes , which host more of the technologically underdeveloped nations . The claim of distance fidelity is particularly problematic : Peters 's map lacks distance fidelity everywhere except along the 45th parallels north and south , and then only in the direction of those parallels . No world projection is good at preserving distances everywhere ; Peters 's and all other cylindric projections are especially bad in that regard because east - west distances inevitably balloon toward the poles . The cartographic community met Peters 's 1973 press conference with amusement and mild exasperation , but little activity beyond a few articles commenting on the technical aspects of Peters 's claims . In the ensuing years , however , it became clear that Peters and his map were no flash in the pan . By 1980 many cartographers had turned overtly hostile to his claims . In particular , Peters writes in The New Cartography , Philosophers , astronomers , historians , popes and mathematicians have all drawn global maps long before cartographers as such existed . Cartographers appeared in the `` Age of Discovery '' , which developed into the Age of European Conquest and Exploitation and took over the task of making maps . By the authority of their profession they have hindered its development . Since Mercator produced his global map over four hundred years ago for the age of Europeans world domination , cartographers have clung to it despite its having been long outdated by events . They have sought to render it topical by cosmetic corrections . ... The European world concept , as the last expression of a subjective global view of primitive peoples , must give way to an objective global concept . The cartographic profession is , by its retention of old precepts based on the Eurocentric global concept , incapable of developing this egalitarian world map which alone can demonstrate the parity of all peoples of the earth . This attack galled the cartographic community . Their most emphatic refutation of Peters 's assertions was the long list of cartographers who , over the preceding century , had formally expressed frustration at publishers ' overuse of the Mercator , as noted above . Many of those cartographers had already developed projections they explicitly promoted as alternatives to the Mercator , including the most influential American cartographers of the twentieth century : John Paul Goode ( Goode homolosine projection ) , Erwin Raisz ( Armadillo projection ) , and Arthur H. Robinson ( Robinson projection ) . Hence the cartographic community viewed Peters 's narrative as ahistorical and mean - spirited . The two camps never made any real attempts toward reconciliation . The Peters camp largely ignored the protests of the cartographers . Peters maintained there should be `` one map for one world '' -- his -- and did not acknowledge the prior art of Gall until the controversy had largely run its course , late in his life . While Peters likely reinvented the projection independently , his unscholarly conduct and refusal to engage the cartographic community undoubtedly contributed to the polarization and impasse . Frustrated by some very visible successes and mounting publicity stirred up by the industry that had sprung up around the Peters map , the cartographic community began to plan more coordinated efforts to restore balance , as they saw it . The 1980s saw a flurry of literature directed against the Peters phenomenon . Though Peters 's map was not singled out , the controversy motivated the American Cartographic Association ( now Cartography and Geographic Information Society ) to produce a series of booklets ( including Which Map Is Best ) designed to educate the public about map projections and distortion in maps . In 1989 and 1990 , after some internal debate , seven North American geographic organizations adopted the following resolution , which rejected all rectangular world maps , a category that includes both the Mercator and the Gall -- Peters projections : WHEREAS , the earth is round with a coordinate system composed entirely of circles , and WHEREAS , flat world maps are more useful than globe maps , but flattening the globe surface necessarily greatly changes the appearance of Earth 's features and coordinate systems , and WHEREAS , world maps have a powerful and lasting effect on people 's impressions of the shapes and sizes of lands and seas , their arrangement , and the nature of the coordinate system , and WHEREAS , frequently seeing a greatly distorted map tends to make it `` look right '' , THEREFORE , we strongly urge book and map publishers , the media and government agencies to cease using rectangular world maps for general purposes or artistic displays . Such maps promote serious , erroneous conceptions by severely distorting large sections of the world , by showing the round Earth as having straight edges and sharp corners , by representing most distances and direct routes incorrectly , and by portraying the circular coordinate system as a squared grid . The most widely displayed rectangular world map is the Mercator ( in fact a navigational diagram devised for nautical charts ) , but other rectangular world maps proposed as replacements for the Mercator also display a greatly distorted image of the spherical Earth . One map society , the North American Cartographic Information Society ( NACIS ) , declined to endorse the 1989 resolution , although no reasons were given . The geographic and cartographic communities did not unanimously disparage the Peters World Map . Some cartographers , including J. Brian Harley , have credited the Peters phenomenon with demonstrating the social implications of map projections , at the very least . Crampton sees the condemnation from the cartographic community as reactionary and perhaps demonstrative of immaturity in the profession , given that all maps are political . Denis Wood sees the map as one of many useful tools . Lastly , Terry Hardaker of Oxford Cartographers Limited , sympathetic to Peters 's mission , became the map 's official cartographer when Peters , overwhelmed by the technical aspects of cartography , sought to pass on those responsibilities . In popular culture ( edit ) A Gall -- Peters projection as well as a south - up Peters map were featured in the American television show The West Wing ( season 2 , episode 16 ) , in which the ( fictitious ) Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality is given access to the White House Press Secretary due to `` Big Block of Cheese Day '' . Dr. John Fallow ( actor John Billingsley ) explains why the President of the United States should champion the use of this map in schools , because it correctly represents the size of the countries and therefore gives due prominence to countries in less technologically developed parts of the world that are otherwise underrepresented . The map is a favorite of military geostrategist Thomas Barnett , who has included it in his presentations of The Brief , which have aired on C - SPAN in the United States . Webcomic XKCD # 977 pokes fun at the controversy surrounding the Gall -- Peters projection , where it is humorously compared to other map projections .

"The Gall–Peters projection is a rectangular map projection that maps all areas such that they have the correct sizes relative to each other. Like any equal-area projection, it achieves this goal by distorting most shapes. The projection is a particular example of the cylindrical equal-area projection with latitudes 45° north and south as the regions on the map that have no distortion."

The series stars Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges as Arnold and Willis Jackson , two black boys from Harlem who are taken in by a rich white Park Avenue businessman and widower named Phillip Drummond ( Conrad Bain ) and his daughter Kimberly ( Dana Plato ) , for whom their deceased mother previously worked . During the first season and first half of the second season , Charlotte Rae also starred as the Drummonds ' housekeeper , Mrs. Edna Garrett ( who ultimately spun off into her own successful sitcom , The Facts of Life ) . The series made stars out of child actors Gary Coleman , Todd Bridges and Dana Plato and became known for the `` very special episodes '' in which serious issues such as racism , illegal drug use , hitchhiking , kidnapping and child sexual abuse were dramatically explored . The lives of these stars were later plagued by legal troubles and drug addiction , with Plato and Coleman later suffering early deaths .

The series was originally devised as a joint vehicle for Maude co-star Conrad Bain ( after Maude had abruptly finished production in 1978 ) , and child actor Gary Coleman , who had caught producers ' attentions after appearing in a number of commercials . The sitcom starred Coleman as Arnold Jackson and Todd Bridges as his older brother , Willis . They played two children from a poor section of Harlem whose deceased mother previously worked for rich widower Philip Drummond ( Conrad Bain ) , who eventually adopted them . They lived in a penthouse with Drummond , his daughter Kimberly ( Dana Plato ) , and their maid . There were three maids during the sitcom 's run : Edna Garrett ( Charlotte Rae ) , Adelaide Brubaker ( Nedra Volz ) , and Pearl Gallagher ( Mary Jo Catlett ) . They lived in the Penthouse Suite at 697 Park Avenue in New York City . As Arnold , Coleman popularized the catchphrase `` What'chu talkin ' ' bout , Willis ? '' The ending often varied , depending on whom he was addressing . Early episodes addressed typical issues in a family . Later episodes at times though focused on drug abuse , alcoholism , hitchhiking , and crime , among other issues . Seasons 1 -- 4 ( 1978 -- 82 ) ( edit ) In Season 1 , Charlotte Rae appeared in every episode as Edna Garrett , but she departed the show partway through the second season to star in her own spin - off , The Facts of Life . Following Rae 's departure , Nedra Volz took over as the housekeeper , Adelaide Brubaker . Although she was not part of the official main cast and not added to the opening credits , Volz appeared as a frequent semi-regular character . Seasons 5 -- 6 ( 1982 -- 84 ) ( edit ) In Season 5 , Mary Jo Catlett portrayed Pearl Gallagher , the last of the three maids , and joined the cast as a series regular . Pearl appeared in almost every episode until the final season . Midway through Season 6 , Dana Plato became pregnant and approached the producers of the show to include her pregnancy . Initially they agreed to add it , but they later decided not to add the pregnancy , with Plato 's publicized brushes with substance abuse contributing to this decision , resulting in her dismissal from the series . Plato 's character , Kimberly , was written out of the story lines with the explanation that she moved to Paris to study for a couple of years . Plato did not appear as a regular cast member in the final two seasons of the series , but she made several guest appearances . At the same time , ratings were beginning to fall , so new characters were added to open up future storylines . Dixie Carter and Danny Cooksey portrayed recently divorced television aerobics instructor Margaret `` Maggie '' McKinney , and her son , Sam McKinney . Carter was introduced midway into the sixth season ; after she left for California , Drummond and the family took off after her , during a two - part trip in February 1984 , a storyline which also introduced Sam . Phillip proposed to Maggie , and they married . Several past characters attended the wedding ceremony including Dudley , Aunt Sophia , Adelaide and Mrs. Garrett . Season 7 ( 1984 -- 85 ) ( edit ) In the seventh season , Dixie Carter and Danny Cooksey were added to the opening credits ( with Carter getting special `` and '' billing , last in the order ) , and many new areas and ideas were explored in the storylines , as viewers now got to see Philip as a happily married man . Dana Plato was no longer appearing as a main cast member , because of her pregnancy in real life . The producers felt that the pregnancy would n't be acceptable , so she was dropped from the show and returned for the season finale A Special Friend as a guest star . Also , since there was a new fresh - faced kid in the house with Sam , Arnold now had his own little sidekick and was happy to be a `` big brother '' for a change , and with Willis being dropped into the background slightly , this new brotherly duo took center stage for many storylines . In the season , Todd Bridges was continuing the show as a main cast member , but developed absences in several episodes . Additionally , stories focusing on Arnold 's school life ( featured occasionally in many previous seasons ) were delved into much more . The ratings did not improve to NBC 's hopes . Dixie Carter departed at the end of the seventh season and was replaced with Mary Ann Mobley in the eighth season . Season 8 ( 1985 -- 86 ) ( edit ) In the spring of 1985 , NBC canceled the series because of poor ratings . ABC picked up the series for an eighth season , and aired it Friday nights . In this season , Mary Ann Mobley replaced Dixie Carter as Maggie McKinney Drummond . Mobley , who had previously played an unrelated , one - off love interest of Drummond 's in the second - season episode `` Teacher 's Pet '' , was considered for Maggie when the role was created . But she was not initially chosen in part due to age disparity between her and Conrad Bain . ABC canceled the series after 19 episodes , and aired its final episode on March 7 , 1986 . The show returned to ABC 's schedule in June for three months of summer reruns , which ended on August 30 , 1986 . The final season ranked 76th out of 106 shows , and averaged an 11.5 household rating .

Arnold Jackson missed five episodes . Two from the 1981 -- 82 season , `` First Day Blues '' and `` The Team '' . He then missed three episodes from the 1984 -- 85 season , `` The Gymnasts '' , `` Sam Adopts a Grandparent '' and `` Baseball Blues '' . Supporting characters ( edit ) Outside of the Drummond household , there were a large number of supporting characters seen over the years . Phillip 's slightly dotty sister Sophia ( Dody Goodman ) was regularly seen in the fourth season , playing matchmaker for her brother in hopes of getting Philip to marry again . Dudley Johnson ( Shavar Ross ) was Arnold 's new best friend , who , like Arnold , was also adopted , with whom he shared many memorable childhood scrapes . Some of these were important or serious storylines under the `` very special episode '' heading , which Diff'rent Strokes popularized ( see below ) . Ted Ramsey ( Le Tari ) was Dudley 's adoptive father , who turned up occasionally . In the third season , Janet Jackson played Willis ' girlfriend Charlene DuPrey . She was a frequent recurring character until Season 6 , when Charlene and Willis decided to break up , but remain friends . Other classmates and friends of Arnold seen over time included Robbie Jason ( Steven Mond ) and snobby Lisa Hayes ( Nikki Swasey ) , who initially was sweet on Arnold , but later came to despise him , leading to hatred between the pair and many squabbles . Miss Chung ( Rosalind Chao ) was Arnold 's teacher . In the fall of 1985 , when the series moved to ABC , Arnold , Dudley and Lisa entered high school , where they gained a new friend in Charlie ( Jason Hervey ) . An oft - mentioned character , spanning the entire show 's run , was `` The Gooch '' , a notorious bully at Arnold 's school . First mentioned in the first - season episode `` The Fight '' , which revolves around his bullying of Arnold , his name is mentioned in numerous episodes ( and his bullying of Arnold returned as the center of several plots ) , with Arnold 's frequent descriptions of him as a burly , troublesome brute , forever looking for trouble but not very intelligent , but the character never actually appeared on screen . In season 7 , after years of harassing Arnold ( and later Sam ) , the Gooch was finally defeated by Arnold 's neighbor and nemesis Carmella .

Another episode involved a con artist ( played by Whitman Mayo ) posing as a relative of Arnold and Willis in an attempt to get access to the inheritance they were left by a former neighbor . Another episode involved Kimberly 's new boyfriend Roger not allowing his sister to go to their school 's costume ball with Willis because he is African - American . In an episode on the dangers of hitchhiking , Kimberly and Arnold ( who were out in the cold weather and did n't have money for cab or bus fare ) were abducted by a serial kidnapper - rapist ( played by Woody Eney ) , who initially acted as a good Samaritan by giving the two of them a ride , and inviting them to his apartment . After the man 's true nature became known , Arnold escaped to look for help and the man nearly raped Kimberly before the police arrived to arrest him . At the end of the episode , Conrad Bain ( in an out of character PSA ) spoke about what to do if real life situations as the one portrayed on the show were to occur . Two notable episodes dealt with the consequences of alcoholism . In season 5 , Willis moves out of the penthouse to live with a friend who abuses alcohol . In season 7 , Arnold must deal with a classmate whom he catches drinking a thermos of alcohol in the school bathroom . In the final season ( when the sitcom moved from NBC to ABC ) , the one - hour season opener revolved around Sam being kidnapped by a bereaved father ( played by Royce D. Applegate ) hoping to replace his own dead son . In other notable episodes , the family discovered that Kimberly was suffering from bulimia . In another episode , Arnold and Sam met Karen , a street performer . After a performance , she has an epileptic seizure , and Sam is scared thinking she 's dying . The boys then feel uncomfortable around her , and when they begin making jokes about her seizures , they find out that housekeeper Pearl herself has epilepsy , but unlike Karen controls her seizures by taking medication . Spin - off and crossovers ( edit ) The Facts of Life ( 1979 -- 88 ) is a spin - off of Diff'rent Strokes featuring Drummond 's former maid Mrs. Garrett ( Charlotte Rae ) , who had accepted a job as the house - mother for a dormitory at an all - girls private school that Kimberly was attending . In a late first - season episode of Strokes ( which served as the `` backdoor pilot '' of Facts ) , Mrs. Garrett took Kimberly to the school with the intent of helping her sew costumes for a school play . While there , Mrs. Garrett met Kimberly 's classmates and was offered the job as `` dorm mother '' . She declines in this episode , but come fall , clearly had a change of heart . The Diff'rent Strokes cast appeared in the first episode of The Facts of Life ( at one point , Drummond asks Mrs. Garrett `` Are you sure we ca n't change your mind to come back to us ? '' ) . The success of the spin - off led to several Strokes / Facts crossovers in the ensuing years . While not a spin - off , Hello , Larry ( 1979 -- 80 ) had a connection to Strokes as it was established in a crossover episode that Philip Drummond and Larry Alder ( McLean Stevenson ) were old army buddies , and Mr. Drummond had bought the company that owned the radio station Larry worked at as a talk show host . Additionally , Arnold appeared on the Silver Spoons episode `` The Great Computer Caper '' and the Amazing Stories episode `` Remote Control Man '' . Later appearances as the characters ( edit ) In 1994 , Coleman appeared in an episode of Married ... with Children , playing a building code inspector whom Al Bundy called to report an illegal driveway . When Kelly recognizes him , he denies any connection to Arnold Jackson , but utters his catchphrase to Al , `` What'chu talkin ' about , Bundy ? '' . Also , in 1996 , Coleman and Bain reprised their roles for the series finale of The Fresh Prince of Bel - Air entitled `` I , Done Part 2 '' . In their scene , they reference Willis by name before meeting Will Smith 's character , leading to Coleman uttering a variation of his catchphrase , `` What'chu talkin ' about , Will ? '' . Additional catchphrase references and appearances in popular culture ( edit ) In 2004 , Gary Coleman appeared on the second season of The Surreal Life and was pressured to quote his famous catchphrase by Vanilla Ice . He also guest - starred as himself on The Wayans Bros. , The Ben Stiller Show , Drake & Josh , The Jamie Foxx Show , The Parkers , Robot Chicken and The Simpsons . After Diff'rent Strokes ended ( edit ) Following the cancellation of Diff'rent Strokes , Gary Coleman , Todd Bridges and Dana Plato encountered difficulty in obtaining acting jobs . All three experienced various legal problems while Bridges and Plato also struggled with drug addictions , all of which were documented in the press . The press and fans of the series blamed the cast 's personal problems and faltering careers on what was eventually dubbed the `` curse of Diff'rent Strokes '' by various tabloids . Gary Coleman ( edit ) Main article : Gary Coleman Three years after the series ended , Gary Coleman sued his parents and his former manager over misappropriation of his trust fund . Although he was awarded over $1,000,000 in the decision , he filed for bankruptcy in 1999 . In 1998 , Coleman was charged with assault after he punched a woman while working as a security guard at a shopping mall . In 2001 , Coleman ( still working as a security guard ) was videotaped trying to stop a vehicle from entering the mall . The driver ridiculed him , and released the tape to be broadcast on numerous television shows . In 2007 , Coleman was cited for disorderly conduct in Provo , Utah , for having a `` heated discussion '' with a woman . On May 26 , 2010 , Coleman , who had battled health problems since childhood caused by congenital kidney disease , was admitted to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo after falling and hitting his head after suffering a seizure . Coleman was then placed on life support after suffering an intracranial hemorrhage , and died on May 28 , 2010 , from complications of his injury at age 42 . Dana Plato ( edit ) Main article : Dana Plato During Season 6 , Dana Plato became pregnant and her character was written out of the series ( Plato would go on to make guest appearances for the final two seasons ) . In 1984 she married the father of her child , musician Lanny Lambert , but the couple divorced in 1990 . Due to financial difficulties and her growing addiction to drugs and alcohol , Plato relinquished custody of her son , Tyler , to her ex-husband . In an attempt to boost her faltering career , Plato posed for Playboy in June 1989 but her appearance in the magazine did not help her land acting jobs . By 1990 , Plato was living in Las Vegas . Despite having made $25,000 an episode while on the series , she was often broke and was working as a cashier at a dry cleaning store . In February 1991 , she was arrested after robbing a Las Vegas video store armed with a pellet gun . She was arrested the following year for forging prescriptions for Valium . In 1998 , she appeared in a softcore pornographic film entitled Different Strokes : The Story of Jack & Jill ... and Jill , which was intended to capitalize on her Diff'rent Strokes fame . After her arrests , Plato publicly admitted that she struggled with an addiction to drugs and alcohol . She died of a drug overdose in 1999 at age 34 . Her death was ruled a suicide . Her son , Tyler Lambert , would later commit suicide as well . Todd Bridges ( edit ) Main article : Todd Bridges After the series ended , Todd Bridges developed an addiction to cocaine . In February 1988 , he was arrested and charged with the attempted murder of a drug dealer at a crack house in South Central Los Angeles . He was acquitted in November 1989 . Bridges was also arrested on a concealed weapon charge and possession of cocaine . In 1994 , he was arrested after allegedly ramming someone 's car after an argument . After years of battling his drug addiction , Bridges became sober in the early 1990s . He now travels across the United States , touring schools and discussing the dangers of drug use . Bridges has continued acting in films and television . His more high - profile role was as Monk , a shell - shocked Vietnam veteran , conspiracy theorist , and nephew of Chris ' boss Doc on the sitcom Everybody Hates Chris . Docudramas ( edit ) Two unofficial docudramas were produced about the show : In 2000 , Fox broadcast a one - hour television movie , After Diff'rent Strokes : When the Laughter Stopped . This film , which starred unknown actors , focused on Dana Plato 's life after the show , leading to her death . Todd Bridges guest starred in this film as a drug dealer who sold drugs -- to a younger Todd Bridges . On September 4 , 2006 , NBC aired a television drama titled Behind the Camera : The Unauthorized Story of Diff'rent Strokes . The film , which chronicles the rise and decline of the sitcom 's child stars , also features recent interview clips with Coleman and Bridges . The two also star in the movie as themselves ( briefly ) in the final scene , standing by Plato 's grave .

Producer Kevin Feige described the character as `` a bit of a prince , he may even become a bit of a king , but it 's all about how this isolationist country ( of Wakanda ) meets the world . '' Screenwriter Joe Robert Cole added that after the events of Captain America : Civil War and the death of his father , `` ... we 'll be able to see ( T'Challa ) mourning and him starting to take command as king of his own nation . '' Boseman , who called T'Challa an anti-hero , said that he is `` very much aware of the responsibility '' and `` how important his role and his position is '' as the leader of Wakanda . Black Panther 's suit that forms around his body was inspired by a similar design seen in Ta - Nehisi Coates ' Black Panther comic book run . He worked with the same dialect coach he had during Message from the King for the film . Boseman signed a five - film contract with Marvel . Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger : A Wakandan exile who seeks to overthrow T'Challa . Executive producer Nate Moore said Killmonger `` has his own opinion on how Wakanda has been run and should ( be ) run '' , and `` is a voice of a different side of Wakanda '' which `` puts T'Challa in a difficult situation '' . Killmonger 's bumpy , ritualistic tribal markings on his chest and torso resemble the scar tattoos of the Mursi and Surma tribes . Jordan noted the character 's dreadlocks hairstyle was a way `` to stay true to the original character ( 's long hair ) as much as possible and make it as modern as we could . '' Jordan , who had `` been wanting to play a villain for a while , '' likened Killmonger and T'Challa's relationship to the X-Men characters Magneto and Professor X . He added that Killmonger is `` very strategic , thoughtful . He 's very patient . Very well skilled , trained to a T. He works very hard , and he feels what he 's doing is right . '' Corey Calliet once again served as Jordan 's trainer on the film , after doing so on Creed . Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia : T'Challa's former lover and an undercover operative of the Dora Milaje , the all - female special forces of Wakanda who serve as T'Challa's bodyguards . Nyong'o called Nakia a `` departure '' from her comic counterpart , saying she `` is a war dog . She is basically an undercover spy for Wakanda . Her job is to go out into the world and report back on what 's going on . '' Danai Gurira as Okoye : An `` extremely proud '' Wakandan and traditionalist from the Border Tribe , who is the head of the Dora Milaje . When looking to cast Gurira , director Ryan Coogler had not seen The Walking Dead , in which Gurira portrays the popular character Michonne , and instead wanted her for the part because of her performance in Mother of George . Gurira said that the fighting skills she learned playing Michonne complemented the skills of Okoye , but that `` there 's a lot of ways that they 're extremely different ... Okoye is a whole ' nother thing . '' Gurira described the Dora Milaje as `` more like a secret service in a sense that it 's also very much about intel . It 's not just military , '' with Okoye the head of intel . Regarding Okoye 's stoic demeanor , Gurira said , `` She can be serious , but she also has an unexpected sense of humor . She has a heart , but for her country and for her people . She 's not a person who does n't connect to human beings as a result of what she does . '' Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross : A member of the CIA 's Joint Counter Terrorism Center . Freeman said that Ross `` has an uneasy peace with T'Challa '' , and that he `` goes on a strange journey , an enlightening journey to Wakanda . '' Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi : A confidant to T'Challa and his best friend , who is the head of security for the Border Tribe , serving as the first line of defense for Wakanda . Letitia Wright as Shuri : T'Challa's sister and the princess of Wakanda who designs new technology for the country . Wright described her as `` an innovative spirit and an innovative mind '' who `` wants to take Wakanda to a new place ... ( and ) has a great fashion sense '' . Wright also felt Shuri was `` vibrant '' and `` refreshing '' , and was a good role model for young black girls . Winston Duke as M'Baku : A powerful , ruthless warrior who is the leader of Wakanda 's mountain tribe , the Jabari , who are in protest to T'Challa being the new king . Duke describe the Jabari as people who `` strongly believe that to move forward , you have to have a strong adherence and respect for the past . So they have a deep moral conscience '' and that M'Baku `` deeply cares about his people ... ( and ) his country as a whole . '' M'Baku is also the head of the religious minority in Wakanda , who worship the gorilla . Character elements from Christopher Priest 's 1998 - 2003 Black Panther series were adapted for the film . Executive producer Nate Moore noted that M'Baku would not be referred to by his comics alter ego of `` Man - Ape '' , since there were `` a lot of racial implications that do n't sit well '' in having a black character dress up as an ape . This aspect of the character was instead reworked to have the tribe M'Baku is the leader of worship the gorilla gods , with M'Baku still wearing elements of fur on his arms and legs and a chest - plate that hints at the gorilla . Moore continued , `` Man - Ape is a problematic character for a lot of reasons , but the idea behind Man - Ape we thought was really fascinating. ... It 's a line I think we 're walking , and hopefully walking successfully . '' Angela Bassett as Ramonda : T'Challa's mother and Queen Mother of Wakanda . Boseman noted that Ramonda `` is one of the advisors that ( T'Challa ) would look to ... for some of the answers of what his father might want or might do . She may not be exactly right all the time , but she definitely has insights . '' Calliet also served as Bassett 's trainer , working with her before she began filming and while she was on set , by creating high - intensity interval training circuits and helping to craft her diet . Forest Whitaker as Zuri : An elder statesman in Wakanda , and the keeper of the Heart - Shaped Herb . Coogler noted that Zuri was a religious and spiritual figure , and was a way to reference the spirituality within Wakanda from the comics . He also added that Zuri `` is a major tie back '' to T'Chaka for T'Challa , and felt Zuri was `` Black Panther 's version of Obi - Wan Kenobi . '' Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue : A black - market arms dealer , smuggler and gangster working out of South Africa , and allied with Killmonger , who uses a piece of advanced Wakandan mining equipment as a sonic disruptor arm - cannon . Boseman described Klaue as a threat to Wakanda , as one of the few outsiders to enter the country and someone with access to vibranium , comparing him to Osama bin Laden . Serkis added that in addition to his desire for vibranium , Klaue is motivated by a `` personal '' vendetta against T'Challa , and `` to expose what he thinks is the hypocrisy of Wakanda . '' Additionally , Florence Kasumba and John Kani reprise their roles as Ayo and T'Chaka respectively from Captain America : Civil War . Sterling K. Brown plays N'Jobu , a figure from T'Challa's past , Isaach de Bankolé plays the elder of one of the largest tribes in Wakanda , Nabiyah Be portrays the criminal Tilda Johnson , and Sydelle Noel portrays Xoliswa , a member of the Dora Milaje . Atandwa Kani was cast in an undisclosed role . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) In June 1992 , Wesley Snipes announced his intention to make a film about Black Panther , and he had begun work on one by that August . The next July , Snipes planned to begin The Black Panther after starring in Demolition Man , and the next month he expressed interest in making sequels to the film as well . In January 1994 , Snipes entered talks with Columbia Pictures to portray Black Panther , and Stan Lee joined the film by March ; it had entered early development by May . When the film had not progressed in January 1996 , Lee explained that he had not been pleased with the scripts for the project . We have a wide - open field for comic book characters on the big screen and we 've yet to have a major black comic book hero on the screen . Especially the Black Panther , which is such a rich , interesting life . It 's a dream come true to originate something that nobody 's ever seen before . -- Actor Wesley Snipes , who worked on early iterations of Black Panther In July 1997 , Black Panther was listed as part of Marvel Comics ' film slate , and in March 1998 , Marvel hired Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti to work on it . That August , corporate problems at Marvel had put the project on hold , while the next August , Snipes was set to produce , and possibly star , in the film . In May 2000 , Artisan Entertainment announced a deal with Marvel to co-produce , finance , and distribute a film based on Black Panther . In March 2002 , Snipes said he planned to do Blade 3 or Black Panther in 2003 , and reiterated his interest five months later . In July 2004 , Blade 3 director David S. Goyer said this was unlikely , as Snipes was `` already so entrenched as Blade that another Marvel hero might be overkill . '' In September 2005 , Marvel chairman and CEO Avi Arad announced Black Panther as one of the ten Marvel films that would be developed by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures . In June 2006 , Snipes said he hoped to have a director for the project soon . In February 2007 , Kevin Feige , president of production for Marvel Studios , reiterated that Black Panther was on Marvel 's development slate . By July , John Singleton had been approached to direct the film . In March 2009 , Marvel hired writers to help come up with creative ways to launch its lesser - known properties , including Black Panther , with Nate Moore , the head of the writers program , helping to oversee the development of the Black Panther film specifically . In January 2011 , Marvel Studios hired documentary filmmaker Mark Bailey to write a script for Black Panther to be produced by Feige . In October 2013 , Feige said `` I do n't know when it will be exactly , but we certainly have plans to bring ( Black Panther ) to life some day '' , noting that the Marvel Cinematic Universe had already introduced the metal vibranium , which comes from Black Panther 's home nation Wakanda . In October 2014 , Feige announced that Black Panther would be released on November 3 , 2017 , with Chadwick Boseman cast in the title role . Boseman 's hiring `` was n't really an audition process . It was more of a discussion about what they wanted to do and how I saw it and what I wanted to do . '' The actor was set to first portray the character in Captain America : Civil War , before starring in his own film . Feige said that Marvel was considering minority filmmakers for the director and writer , saying `` we 're doing what we always do , which is looking for the best filmmakers , the best writers , the best directors possible . So I 'm not going to say for sure that we 're going to hire from any one demographic , but we 're meeting a lot of people . '' He added that the studio had met with Reginald Hudlin , former writer of the Black Panther comics in the mid-2000s . In January 2015 , Boseman said that the film was going through a `` brainstorming phase '' , explaining , `` I think right now , it 's just going through the possibilities of what he can do ... trying to figure out what it looks like and what it should feel like in certain moments . But just going through ( the material ) , because there 's always a difference from one story to the next of who he is -- trying to find a way to merge those things together . '' The next month , Marvel pushed back the release date to July 6 , 2018 , while in April 2015 , Feige stated that he would be meeting with directors after the release of Avengers : Age of Ultron at the end of the month , and that `` casting is already underway in many ways . Some of which ( is known ) , some of which ( is not ) . '' By May 2015 , Marvel had discussions with Ava DuVernay to direct this film or Captain Marvel . In June , Feige confirmed that he had met with DuVernay alongside a number of other directors and stated he expected a decision to be made by mid - to late 2015 . By early July 2015 , DuVernay had passed on directing the film , explaining that `` Marvel has a certain way of doing things and I think they 're fantastic and a lot of people love what they do . I loved that they reached out to me ... ( but ) we had different ideas about what the story would be ... we just did n't see eye to eye . Better for me to realize that now than cite creative differences later . '' Later in the month , DuVernay expanded , `` For me , it was a process of trying to figure out , are these people I want to go to bed with ? Because it 's really a marriage , and for this it would be three years . It 'd be three years of not doing other things that are important to me . So it was a question of , is this important enough for me to do ? At one point , the answer was yes because I thought there was value in putting that kind of imagery into the culture in a worldwide , huge way , in a certain way : excitement , action , fun , all those things , and yet still be focused on a black man as a hero -- that would be pretty revolutionary . These Marvel films go everywhere from Shanghai to Uganda , and nothing that I probably will make will reach that many people , so I found value in that . That 's how the conversations continued , because that 's what I was interested in . But ... it 's important to me that ( my work ) be true to who I was in this moment . And if there 's too much compromise , it really was n't going to be an Ava DuVernay film . '' By October 2015 , F. Gary Gray and Ryan Coogler had been considered to direct the film , though negotiations with Coogler had cooled , and Gray had chosen to direct Fast & Furious 8 instead . Joe Robert Cole , a member of the Marvel writers program , was in talks to write the screenplay , and Marvel changed the release date once again , moving it to February 16 , 2018 . By December , discussions with Coogler were reignited after the successful opening of his film Creed . Feige described Black Panther as `` a big geopolitical action adventure that focuses on the family and royal struggle of T'Challa in Wakanda , and what it means to be a king '' , while calling the film `` a very important '' link to Avengers : Infinity War and its sequel . He added that the film would be the first Marvel Studios production to feature a `` primarily African - American cast '' . Pre-production ( edit ) What 's so great about Panther is he 's a superhero who , if you grab him and ask him if he 's a superhero , he 'll tell you , ' No . ' He sees himself as a politician , as a leader in his country . It just so happens that the country is a warrior - based nation where the leaders have to be warriors , as well , so sometimes he has to go fight . -- Ryan Coogler , director of Black Panther In January 2016 , Coogler was confirmed as director , and explained that he grew up reading comics , so Black Panther `` is just as personal to me as the last couple of films I was able to make . I feel really fortunate to be able to work on something I 'm this passionate about again . '' In agreeing to direct the film after being `` wooed '' by Feige for months , Coogler insisted that he bring collaborators from his previous films to work on Black Panther to differentiate the film from others in the MCU that are often `` shot , composed , and edited by the same in - house people '' . Coogler wanted to `` put his own personal stamp '' on the film . People he brought back to work with him on the film include Fruitvale Station cinematographer Rachel Morrison , as well as production designer Hannah Beachler and composer Ludwig Göransson , who both worked with Coogler on Fruitvale Station and Creed . Cole , speaking in February , called the film a `` historic opportunity to be a part of something important and special , particularly at a time when African - Americans are affirming their identities while dealing with vilification and dehumanization . The image of a black hero on this scale is just really exciting . '' He added that it was important to approach the themes of the film `` from a perspective that is rooted in the cultures of the ( African ) continent , '' also stating `` we 're thinking about where we are locating Wakanda within the continent , and what the people and history of that region are like ... ( W ) e are going to be engaged with consultants who are experts on the continent and on African history and politics . '' Elaborating on this , Cole noted that there are many African countries , each `` with different histories , mythologies , and cultures ( so ) what we tried to do was hone in on some of the history , some of the cultural influences and then extrapolate out in our technology , extrapolate out in how we see Wakanda and the different parts of the country and the culture of the country as well . So we wanted to root it in reality first and then build out from there , so we 'd feel pretty authentic and grounded . '' Coogler added that they wanted Wakanda to `` feel like a country , as opposed to just one city or town '' by capturing the essence of actual African countries where there are `` several tribes , who speak their own languages , have their own culture , and have distinct food and way of dress . They live amongst each other , and together they make the identity of those countries . '' Costume designer Ruth E. Carter referenced the Maasai , Himba , Dogon , Basotho , and Tuareg people in her designs for Wakanda . Beachler noted her designs were `` about honoring ( the ) comic , then filling in the holes that were n't there . '' Her research concentrated on Sub-Saharan Africa , pulling inspiration from Uganda , Rwanda , Burundi , the Democratic Republic of the Congo , and Ethiopia . Much of the architecture Beachler designed was inspired by `` a lot of the different tribes , traditions , then figuring out a way to really make them technologically advanced , as if it would be very natural . Because we 're also looking at Wakanda as never having been colonized . '' While researching in South Africa , the visuals of mountains looking like rondavels at Blyde River Canyon were incorporated to the tops of Wakanda 's skyscrapers . Coogler compared the rarity of vibranium existing only in Wakanda to the real - life mineral coltan that can almost only be found in Congo . Coogler promoting Black Panther at the 2016 San Diego Comic - Con International In April 2016 , Feige said that Coogler was working on the script with Cole , and that filming would begin at the `` very beginning of next year '' . Feige noted that Civil War laid `` the groundwork '' for T'Challa's morality , and established the `` geopolitical landscape '' that he would have to deal with on returning to Wakanda for Black Panther . Civil War also introduced the Wakandan language , based on the Xhosa language which Boseman was taught by John Kani , who first appeared as T'Challa's father T'Chaka in that film . Lupita Nyong'o entered negotiations to star as T'Challa's love interest the next month , and Michael B. Jordan joined in an undisclosed role , after previously working with Coogler on Fruitvale Station and Creed . Coogler discussed working in with the MCU while still creating `` a Ryan Coogler movie '' , saying , What Marvel 's doing ... is making content that exists in a particular universe , where the characters tie in and crossover , and I think that 's a great creative challenge to me -- to make this movie as personal as possible . It 's going to be my most personal movie to date , which is crazy to say , but it 's completely the case . I 'm obsessed with this character and this story right now , and I think it 's going to be very unique and still fit into the overall narrative that they 're establishing . I grew up as a comic book fan , and the same things used to happen in the comic books . You 'd have Wolverine 's books , and they 'd be so much darker and more brutal than the X-Men books , but they 'd still fit in when you open the pages of the X-Men book . It 's new to movies , but it 's not new to storytelling . Later in May , Moore , now serving as a producer on the film , stated that filming would occur in Atlanta , Georgia , with Marvel `` definitely investigating shooting in Africa '' as well . At San Diego Comic - Con International 2016 , Nyong'o was confirmed for the film , in the role of Nakia , while Jordan 's role was revealed to be Erik Killmonger . Also announced was Danai Gurira as Okoye , while Coogler confirmed that filming would begin in January 2017 . Coogler also noted that he and Cole were inspired by Ta - Nehisi Coates ' run on Black Panther , who was writing the comic at the time , saying `` what he 's doing with Panther is just incredible . You can really see his background as a poet in some of the dialogue . And what Brian Stelfreeze is doing with the visuals in that book . And some of the questions that it 's asking . '' Coogler also indicated that they pulled from `` almost every run '' of Black Panther in the comics , including Jack Kirby , Christopher Priest ( which Coogler felt the most was pulled from ) , Jonathan Hickman , Hudlin , and Coates . On the variety of characters included , Coogler said , `` We kind of picked and pulled the characters we worked best for the story we were trying to tell and I think when people see the film it will be pretty natural , because you ca n't run a country without a good team around you . It 's impossible . It 's kind of like natural that these characters would pop up . '' In September 2016 , Winston Duke was cast as M'Baku , a role that Yahya Abdul - Mateen II also tested for . The following month , Forest Whitaker was cast as Zuri and Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi , with Florence Kasumba revealed to be reprising her role as Ayo from Captain America : Civil War . Letitia Wright was also cast in an unspecified role . Angela Bassett was cast as T'Challa's mother , Ramonda , in November , and by January 2017 , Sterling K. Brown was cast as N'Jobu . At that time , Marvel received permission from the Oakland - based public transit agency AC Transit to use their logo in the film , for a bus that T'Challa rides in a 1990 flashback to commute to Saint Mary 's College High School in Berkeley , California . The setting was chosen due to Coogler 's Oakland roots . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography had begun by January 21 , 2017 , at EUE / Screen Gems Studios and Pinewood Atlanta Studios in the Atlanta metropolitan area , under the working title Motherland . Filming also took place in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood in Atlanta and Atlanta City Hall , the latter serving as a United Nations building . Additional filming also took place in South Korea , with the city of Busan serving as the setting of a car chase scene , involving 150 cars and over 700 people . Filming in Busan began on March 17 , 2017 , with shooting occurring at the Jagalchi Fish Market , and filming taking place by Gwangalli Beach on March 21 . Additional filming locations included Marine City and at the Gwangandaegyo Bridge . The production crew also hired hundreds of local , current , and former film students from local universities as staff or assistant staff during the South Korea filming . Filming in the country wrapped up on March 27 , while a Korean actor was expected to be cast for the film . Shortly after filming started , Kani 's son Atandwa stated that he would appear in the film alongside his father , the latter reprising the role of T'Chaka , while on set photographs revealed that Martin Freeman would reprise his role as Everett K. Ross . Marvel announced the start of production on January 26 , along with confirming the casting of Freeman , Wright , and John Kani , and revealing that Andy Serkis would reprise his role as Ulysses Klaue from Avengers : Age of Ultron . At CinemaCon 2017 , Wright was revealed to be portraying Shuri in the film . Filming concluded on April 19 , 2017 . Post-production ( edit ) At the end of June 2017 , Sydelle Noel revealed she had been cast in the film as Xoliswa , a member of the Dora Milaje . In July 2017 , Moore noted that Black Panther would be a cross between The Godfather and the James Bond films , saying the film was a `` big , operatic family drama centered around a world of international espionage . So hopefully we 're getting the best of both worlds . '' Feige also called the film 's story `` rich in culturally relevant ideas . These are conversations we were having two years ago because that is inherently the story within the comics . Now it 's going to seem like the most highly fluid thing we could have done . '' Boseman also indicated there were parallels to `` pull from '' in the film in relation to Donald Trump becoming President of the United States after Barack Obama . Music ( edit ) Ludwig Göransson was hired to compose the film 's score by April 2017 . Göransson traveled to Senegal and South Africa to record local musicians to form the `` base '' of his soundtrack . Release ( edit ) Black Panther is scheduled to be released in the United Kingdom on February 9 , 2018 , and in the United States on February 16 , 2018 , in IMAX and 3D . The film will have a `` cross-nation release '' in Africa , a first for a Disney film . It was originally scheduled to be released on November 3 , 2017 , the date which Thor : Ragnarok took over , before moving in February 2015 to July 6 , 2018 to accommodate Spider - Man : Homecoming . In October 2015 , it moved again to accommodate Ant - Man and the Wasp . Marketing ( edit ) Marvel debuted early footage and concept art from the film in April 2017 , at a press event for several of their Phase Three films . Kyle Buchanan at Vulture.com praised the cinematography , costume and production design , and focus on dark skinned actors and characters , saying `` Black Panther does n't look like any of the other Marvel movies ... If this is what the future of superhero movies looks like , deal me in . '' Feige believed the screened footage was the first time Marvel had shown raw dailies , a decision made because the company wanted to show off the film 's cast ( which Feige called `` the highest - class cast we 've had on a first movie '' ) and diversity , even though editing for it had not yet begun . A teaser poster was released ahead of the first teaser trailer , which premiered during Game 4 of the 2017 NBA Finals . Fans felt the poster was poorly photoshopped , with tweets mentioning `` poster '' and `` Black Panther '' being 27 percent positive , 27 percent negative , and the rest neutral , according to CNBC 's marketing technology firm Amobee . It was also noted that the poster looked similar to a real - life picture of Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton holding two gun spears . The trailer received a much more positive reception , with Peter Sciretta of / Film saying it was `` nothing like I was expecting this movie to look like and that 's refreshing . '' Ben Pearson , also for / Film , felt the trailer reminded him of a quote from Michael K. Williams ' Omar Little in the television series The Wire : `` You come at the king , you best not miss . '' io9 's Charles Pulliam - Moore called the teaser `` every bit as intense as you were hoping it would be '' and `` epic as hell '' . He also felt the Dora Milaje , who are present many shots of the teaser , stole the trailer . Andrew Husband for Uproxx felt the single teaser `` easily outshines Spider - Man : Homecoming 's big - from - the - beginning marketing campaign . '' Forbes 's Scott Mendelson enjoyed how the teaser showed the film `` playing in the 007 sandbox '' being a `` spy actioner ( which ) is a good way to give it a hard foothold beyond merely being the MCU 's first black - led superhero movies . '' Mendelson also felt that `` Black Panther has the chance to be a seminal event in the same way we 're now seeing with Wonder Woman . '' Graeme McMillian of The Hollywood Reporter also agreed with Mendelson 's comparison of Black Panther to Wonder Woman , noting the `` impeccably timed '' teaser showcased `` the similar spirit of expansion of superhero diversity and audiences , the surprising visual parallels in terms of palette , ( and ) the unexpected narrative threads that connect the two . '' In 24 hours , the trailer was viewed 89 million times , including 19 millions views from those watching Game 4 . The teaser `` dominated the conversation on social media for much of the night '' over Game 4 , being the top - trending item on Twitter . Amobee calculated 109,000 tweets with the hashtag # BlackPanther from 9 p.m. EST until midnight the night the teaser was released , of which 86 % were positive . Additionally , the hashtag # BlackPantherSoLit was used in approximately an additional 15,400 tweets . Amobee 's principal brand analyst Jonathan Cohen noted , `` The real - time reaction to the Black Panther trailer was overwhelmingly positive on social media ; reaffirming what the success of Wonder Woman has already proven -- that fans of Marvel and DC movies are hungry for representation . '' Based on the engagement , Cohen concluded that `` it appears fans have gone from cautiously optimistic about the Black Panther movie to feeling February 2018 ca n't come soon enough . '' The Hollywood Reporter noted that the teaser generated 349,000 Twitter mentions in 24 hours , also more than Game 4 . The amount of mentions were second to the amount the Star Wars : The Last Jedi teaser received . comScore and its PreAct service noted 446,000 new social media conversations for the film after the trailer released , the most for the week . For the week ending on June 18 , comScore and its PreAct service again noted social media conversations for the film , with over 33,000 new ones , the second-most for the week behind Spider - Man : Homecoming . The service also noted Black Panther produced a total of 566,000 conversations to date . Costumes from the film were on display at D23 Expo 2017 and the 2017 San Diego Comic - Con . Also in July , Marvel Studios unveiled a partnership with Lexus , with the 2018 Lexus LC scheduled to be featured in the film . A graphic novel , Black Panther : Soul of the Machine , will be released in December 2017 from writers Fabian Nicieza , Geoffrey Thorne and Chuck Brown , with cover illustrations by Scott `` Rahzzah '' Wilson and Szymon Kudranski , in which Black Panther defeats a villain with the help of the Lexus LC 500 . Nicieza stated `` Lexus wanted ( the comic ) to be much more a story about craftsmanship and the constant search for perfecting the creative process than about car chases . '' The story is `` an exploration of man 's search for the perfect amalgam of biology and technology '' with the villain , Machinesmith , seeking `` Wakanda 's vibranium to jump - start a techno - organic evolution . '' Lexus also unveiled the 2018 LC Inspiration Series production car and a concept coupe dubbed the Black Panther Inspired LC . The 2018 LC will only have 100 cars sold in the U.S. , and `` features a first - of - its - kind paint technique called Structural Blue , '' which was inspired by the morpho butterfly and does not contain any blue pigment . Rather , `` its unique construction reflects blue light and highlights the vehicle 's dynamic design and features to produce a compelling motion effect even when parked . '' The concept coup `` is a celebration of the Black Panther and Wakanda itself -- complete with a powertrain that gets an extra boost from vibranium . '' Coogler , Boseman and other members of the cast presented exclusive footage of the film at the 2017 San Diego Comic - Con , which received a standing ovation from the audience . The footage segued into a trailer - like montage , which featured Kendrick Lamar 's song `` DNA '' . Coogler called the lyrics `` amazing '' and `` actually oddly literal for our trailer 's purposes -- and I think a lot of the cultural things we 're dealing with in Wakanda are in the zeitgeist in the African American community . '' In September 2017 , Coogler , Gurira and Moore participated in a panel at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation 's Annual Legislative Conference , where exclusive footage from the film was also shown . The footage was received positively by the mainly black audience . Richard Loverd , director of Science & Entertainment Exchange at the National Academy of Sciences who also spoke at the panel , felt the film would `` spark interest in science and tech as well as travel to Africa in a whole generation of black Americans '' , similarly to how The Hunger Games films and Brave sparked girls ' interest in archery . On October 16 , 2017 , the film 's trailer was released . Dave Trumbore for Collider felt it was `` a killer trailer . It not only shows off a ton of action sequences , outrageous costume design , and comic book goodies for fans out there , it also brings an unmistakable sense of style that 's all Black Panther 's own . '' MTV 's Crystal Bell noted a line spoken in the trailer by Killmonger ( `` I waited my entire life for this '' ) , saying `` Honestly , I feel the same way after watching this trailer . '' Graeme McMillan of The Hollywood Reporter said the message of the trailer was clear : that `` this is n't like the other Marvel movies , this is something else , '' while also noting the trailer followed a recent model used by The Last Jedi and other big - budget films , where `` a collection of disconnected ( yet appropriately ' cool ' ) scenes ( are featured ) that catch the attention and open space for all kinds of speculative discussion in fandom , but provide very little concrete information beyond that . '' BamSmackPow 's Brendan Day said the trailer `` does everything right '' , showing `` a lot of cool imagery and action scenes without giving us much context or story points '' and having unique music choices , featuring `` BagBak '' by Vince Staples and `` The Revolution Will Not Be Televised '' by Gil Scott - Heron . Writing for Rolling Stone Tre Johnson felt the trailer showed T'Challa as `` someone with the arrogance of ( John ) Shaft , the coolness of ( Barack ) Obama and the hot - headed impulsiveness of Kanye West . '' He continued , `` after decades of trying to nail the modern black superhero , we may finally be getting what we 've asked for -- and getting it right ... Coogler has set out to do something with the modern black superhero that all previous iterations have fallen short of doing : making it respectable , imaginative and powerful . The Afro - punk aesthetic , the unapologetic black swagger , the miniscule appearances from non-black characters -- it 's an important resetting of a standard of what 's possible around creating a mythology for a black superhero . '' A few days later , Marvel Comics published a prelude tie - in comic , which focused on one of T'Challa's first missions as the new Black Panther , after Tony Stark revealed himself as Iron Man .

-6862267747752158204 | Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree | Rockefeller Center Christmas tree - wikipedia Rockefeller Center Christmas tree Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree photographed in December 1987 , a 78 foot ( 24 m ) high Norway Spruce decorated with 18,000 lights . The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a large Christmas tree placed annually in Rockefeller Center , in Midtown Manhattan . The tree is erected in mid November and lit in a public ceremony in late November or early December . Since 1997 , the lighting has been broadcast live , to hundreds of millions , on NBC 's Christmas in Rockefeller Center telecast on a Wednesday after Thanksgiving . The tree lighting ceremony is aired at the end of every broadcast , following live entertainment and the tree is lit by the current Mayor of New York City and special guests . An estimated 125 million people visit the attraction each year . The tree , usually a Norway spruce 69 to 100 feet ( 21 to 30 m ) tall , has been a national tradition each year since 1933 . The 2018 Christmas Tree Lighting takes place on November 28 , 2018 ; the tree will remain on display until January 7 , 2019 . Contents 1 Selection and decoration 2 History 3 Broadcasting 4 Yearly tree details 5 See also 6 References 7 Bibliography 8 Further reading 9 External links Selection and decoration ( edit ) Trees are traditionally donated to Rockefeller Center , which in turn donates the lumber after display . Until his death in 2009 , the late David Murbach , Manager of the Gardens Division of Rockefeller Center , scouted for the desired tree in upstate New York and surrounding states , and even Ottawa , Ontario , Canada . The trees are now scouted by Erik Pauzé , Head Gardener at Rockefeller Center . Pauzé visits nurseries throughout the tri-state area while keeping his eye out for one - of - a-kind backyard trees . Trees may also be submitted for consideration through Rockefeller Center 's web site . Pauzé and his team choose each year 's tree based on its heartiness and `` Christmas tree shape , '' as well as its ability to support the heavy ornaments . Once a tree is selected , a crane supports the tree while it is cut , then moved to a custom telescoping trailer able to transport trees up to 125 feet ( 38 m ) tall , although the width of city streets around Rockefeller Center limits the height of the tree to 100 feet ( 30 m ) . Local business Christmas Tree Brooklyn provides support in delivering the tree safely into the city . On its way to Manhattan , the tree is often dressed in giant red bows or banners extending holiday greetings to witnesses . Trucks , barges , and even a transport plane have all been used to help the tree make the trip . Once at Rockefeller Center , the tree is supported by four guy - wires attached at its midpoint and by a steel spike at its base . Scaffolding is erected around the tree to assist workers in hanging about 50,000 multi-colored LED lights and the star top . The crystal star that has topped the tree since 2004 is 9.5 feet ( 2.9 m ) in diameter and weighs 550 pounds ( 250 kg ) . This `` Swarovski Star , '' containing 25,000 Swarovski crystals , 1 million facets , and LED lights , was created by German artist Michael Hammers . History ( edit ) The first tree at Rockefeller Center , erected by construction workers in 1931 shortly after the site was cleared . Above , the workers line up for pay beside the tree , adorned with garlands made by workers ' families . Although the official Christmas tree tradition at Rockefeller Center began in 1933 ( the year 30 Rockefeller Plaza opened ) , an unofficial tradition began during the Depression - era construction of the Center , when workers decorated a smaller 20 foot ( 6.1 m ) balsam fir with `` strings of cranberries , garlands of paper , and even a few tin cans '' on Christmas Eve ( December 24 , 1931 ) , as recounted by Daniel Okrent in his history of Rockefeller Center . According to Rockefeller Center , workers pooled their money for that unlit tree , with the garlands made by workers ' families . With the lighting of the 50 - foot - tall ( 15 m ) first official tree two years later , the tree became what Rockefeller Center dubbed `` a holiday beacon for New Yorkers and visitors alike . '' A skating rink was opened below the tree in the plaza in 1936 . Rockefeller Center has observed the tree to be `` from the beginning ... a gathering place and reflection of what was happening in the world around it . '' World War II ushered in simple , patriotic decorations , including red , white and blue unlit globes and painted wooden stars . In 1942 , instead of one large tree , three more modest trees were raised , each decorated in one of the flag 's colors . From 1944 until the war 's end in 1945 , the tree went unlit due to blackout regulations . After the war , the year of darkness was left behind , as six ultraviolet light projectors were employed to make it appear as though the tree 's 700 fluorescent globes were glowing in the dark . By the 1950s , workers began using scaffolding to decorate the tree , as larger trees were accommodated . Before the decade was over , the decorating process called for 20 workers and nine days . 1951 marked the first time that NBC televised the tree lighting with a special on The Kate Smith Show . In 1969 , artist Valerie Clarebout 's towering wire herald angels were added to the Channel Gardens in front of the tree near Fifth Avenue . Clarebout created the 12 sculptures using 75 points of metal wire each . The 1971 tree , a 65 - footer from East Montpelier , Vt. , was the first to be mulched and recycled . It was turned into 30 three - bushel bags of mulch for the nature trails of upper Manhattan . Though the tree typically makes its journey on a truck bed , in 1998 it was flown in from Richfield , Ohio on the world 's largest transport plane . The 2016 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree , a 94 foot ( 29 m ) high Norway Spruce from Oneonta , N.Y. , with 50,000 lights . Photographed December 2 , 2016 by Michael Vadon . 1999 saw Rockefeller Center 's tallest tree , a 100 foot ( 30 m ) spruce from Killingworth , Conn . In 2001 , following the events of September 11 , the tree was again decorated in hues of red , white and blue . In 2007 , the tree went `` green '' , converting to energy - efficient lighting with LEDs . The LEDs use 1,200 fewer kilowatts of electricity per day , enough to power a 2,000 - square - foot home for a month . Also since 2007 , each year after display , the tree has been milled into lumber and donated to Habitat for Humanity for use in house construction . The 2016 tree , a Norway Spruce from Oneonta , N.Y. , is at 94 feet high the second tallest ever erected at Rockefeller Center . At 56 feet wide and over 30,000 pounds , the tree is the widest and heaviest to date , according to construction crews . Since 2011 , the tree lighting ceremony has been followed by the singing of Joy to the World . The decorated tree remains on display at Rockefeller Plaza , between West 48th and 51st Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues , at least through January 6 of the new year . More than a half million people pass by the tree each day while it is on display , according to Rockefeller Center . Broadcasting ( edit ) Since 1997 , the lighting ceremony has been broadcast live on NBC in the first hour of primetime , live in the Eastern and Central time zones , and on tape elsewhere . The ceremony is hosted by Today 's Al Roker ( 1997 -- present ) , Savannah Guthrie ( 2012 -- present ) , and Hoda Kotb ( 2017 -- present ) Yearly tree details ( edit ) Year Original location Tree type Height Lighting 2017 State College , PA Norway spruce 75 ft November 29 , 2017 2016 Oneonta , NY Norway spruce 94 ft November 30 , 2016 2015 Gardiner , NY Norway spruce 78 ft December 2 , 2015 2014 Danville , PA Norway spruce 85 ft December 3 , 2014 2013 Shelton , CT Norway spruce 76 ft December 4 , 2013 2012 Flanders , NJ Norway spruce 80 ft November 28 , 2012 2011 Mifflinville , PA Norway spruce 74 ft November 30 , 2011 Mahopac , NY Norway spruce 74 ft November 30 , 2010 2009 Easton , CT Norway spruce 76 ft December 2 , 2009 2008 Hamilton , NJ Norway spruce 72 ft December 3 , 2008 2007 Shelton , CT Norway spruce 84 ft November 28 , 2007 2006 Ridgefield , CT Norway spruce 88 ft November 29 , 2006 2005 Wayne , NJ Norway spruce 74 ft November 30 , 2005 Suffern , NY Norway spruce 71 ft November 30 , 2004 2003 Manchester , CT Norway spruce 79 ft December 3 , 2003 2002 Bloomsbury , NJ Norway spruce 76 ft December 4 , 2002 Wayne , NJ Norway spruce 81 ft November 28 , 2001 2000 Buchanan , NY Norway spruce 80 ft November 29 , 2000 1999 Killingworth , CT Norway spruce 100 ft * December 1 , 1999 1998 Richfield , OH Norway spruce 75 ft December 2 , 1998 Stony Point , NY Norway spruce 70 ft December 2 , 1997 Armonk , NY Norway spruce 90 ft December 3 , 1996 1995 Mendham , NJ Norway spruce 75 ft December 5 , 1995 Ridgefield , CT Norway spruce 85 ft December 2 , 1994 Montebello , NY Norway spruce 70 ft 1986 Nanuet , NY Norway spruce 68 ft 1980 Mahwah , NJ Norway spruce 70 ft 1978 Mahwah , NJ Norway spruce 75 ft 1963 Rockaway , NJ Bruce Fir , Veit 84 ft 1957 Brighton , VT White spruce 67 ft * Tallest Tree on Record See also ( edit ) National Christmas Tree References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Lambert , Bruce ( December 5 , 2008 ) . `` A Christmas Tree That Manhattan 's Can Look Up To '' .

It is located in Varanasi , Uttar Pradesh , India . The temple stands on the western bank of the holy river Ganga , and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas , the holiest of Shiva temples . The main deity is known by the name Vishvanatha or Vishveshvara meaning Ruler of The Universe . Varanasi city is also called Kashi , and hence the temple is popularly called Kashi Vishvanath Temple . The temple has been referred to in Hindu scriptures for a very long time as a central part of worship in the Shaiva philosophy . It has been destroyed and re-constructed a number of times in history . The last structure was demolished by Aurangzeb , the sixth Mughal emperor who constructed the Gyanvapi Mosque on its site . The current structure was built on an adjacent site by the Maratha ruler , Ahilya Bai Holkar of Indore in 1780 . Since 1983 , the temple has been managed by the government of Uttar Pradesh . During the religious occasion of Shivratri , Kashi Naresh ( King of Kashi ) is the chief officiating priest .

The original Vishwanath temple was destroyed by the army of Qutb - ud - din Aibak in 1194 CE , when he defeated the Raja of Kannauj as a commander of Mohammad Ghori . The temple was rebuilt by a Gujarati merchant during the reign of Delhi 's Sultan Iltutmish ( 1211 - 1266 CE ) . It was demolished again during the rule of either Hussain Shah Sharqi ( 1447 - 1458 ) or Sikandar Lodhi ( 1489 - 1517 ) . Raja Man Singh built the temple during Mughal emperor Akbar 's rule , but orthodox Hindus boycotted it as he had let the Mughals marry within his family . Raja Todar Mal further re-built the temple with Akbar 's funding at its original site in 1585 . In 1669 CE , Emperor Aurangzeb destroyed the temple and built the Gyanvapi Mosque in its place . The remains of the erstwhile temple can be seen in the foundation , the columns and at the rear part of the mosque . Gyanvapi Mosque , sketched as Temple of Vishveshvur in 1834 by James Prinsep Plan of the Ancient Temple of Vishveshvur , by James Prinsep Elevation of the present temple structure In 1742 , the Maratha ruler Malhar Rao Holkar made a plan to demolish the mosque and reconstruct Vishweshwar temple at the site . However , his plan did not materialize , partially because of intervention by the Nawabs of Lucknow , who controlled the territory . Around 1750 , the Maharaja of Jaipur commissioned a survey of the land around the site , with the objective of purchasing land to rebuild the Kashi Vishwanath temple . However , his plan to rebuild the temple did not materialize either . In 1780 , Malhar Rao 's daughter - in - law Ahilyabai Holkar constructed the present temple adjacent to the mosque . In 1828 , Baiza Bai , widow of the Maratha ruler Daulat Rao Scindhia of Gwalior State , built a low - roofed colonnade with over 40 pillars in the Gyan Vapi precinct . During 1833 - 1840 CE , the boundary of Gyanvapi Well , the ghats and other nearby temples were constructed. A 7 - feet high stone statue of Nandi bull , gifted by the Raja of Nepal lies to the east of the colonnade . Many noble families from various ancestral kingdoms of Indian subcontinent and their prior establishments make generous contributions for the operations of the temple . In 1841 , the Bhosales of Nagpur donated silver to the temple . In 1835 , Maharaja Ranjit Singh donated 1 tonne of gold for plating the temple 's dome . The temple was managed by a hereditary group of pandas or mahants . After the death of Mahant Devi Dutt , a dispute arose among his successors . In 1900 , his brother - in - law Pandit Visheshwar Dayal Tewari filed a lawsuit , which resulted in him being declared the head priest . Legend ( edit ) As per Shiva Purana , once Brahma ( the Hindu God of creation ) and Vishnu ( the Hindu God of Harmony ) had an argument in terms of supremacy of creation . To test them , Shiva pierced the three worlds as a huge endless pillar of light , the jyotirlinga . Vishnu and Brahma split their ways to downwards and upwards respectively to find the end of the light in either directions . Brahma lied that he found out the end , while Vishnu conceded his defeat . Shiva appeared as a second pillar of light and cursed Brahma that he would have no place in ceremonies while Vishnu would be worshiped till the end of eternity . The jyotirlinga is the supreme partless reality , out of which Shiva partly appears . The jyothirlinga shrines , thus are places where Shiva appeared as a fiery column of light . There are 64 forms of Shiva , not to be confused with Jyotirlingas . Each of the twelve jyothirlinga sites take the name of the presiding deity - each considered different manifestation of Shiva . At all these sites , the primary image is lingam representing the beginningless and endless Stambha pillar , symbolizing the infinite nature of Shiva . The twelve jyothirlinga are Somnath in Gujarat , Mallikarjuna at Srisailam in Andhra Pradesh , Mahakaleswar at Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh , Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh , Kedarnath in Himalayas , Bhimashankar in Maharashtra , Viswanath at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh , Triambakeshwar in Maharashtra , Vaidyanath Jyotirlinga , Deogarh in Deoghar , Jharkhand , Nageswar at Dwarka in Gujarat , Rameshwar at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu and Grishneshwar at Aurangabad in Maharashtra . The Manikarnika Ghat on the banks of Ganges near to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple is considered as a Shakti Peetha , a revered place of worship for the Shaktism sect . The Daksha Yaga , a Shaivite literature is considered as an important literature which is the story about the origin of Shakti Peethas . The temple structure ( edit ) The original holy well -- Gyanvapi in between the temple and Gyanvapi Mosque The temple complex consists of a series of smaller shrines , located in a small lane called the Vishwanatha Galli , near the river . The linga of the main deity at the shrine is 60 cm tall and 90 cm in circumference housed in a silver altar . The main temple is quadrangle and is surrounded by shrines of other gods . There are small temples for Kaalbhairav , Dhandapani , Avimukteshwara , Vishnu , Vinayaka , Sanishwara , Virupaksha and Virupaksh Gauri in the complex . There is a small well in the temple called the Jnana Vapi also spelled as Gyaan vapi ( the wisdom well ) . The Jnana Vapi well sites to the north of the main temple and it is believed that the Jyotirlinga was hidden in the well to protect it at the time of invasion . It is said that the main priest of the temple jumped in the well with the Shiv Ling in order to protect the Jyotirlinga from invaders . According to the structure of the temple , there is a Sabha Griha or Congregation Hall leading to the inner Garbha Griha or Sanctum Sanctorum . The venerable Jyotirlinga is a dark brown colored stone which is enshrined in the Sanctum , placed on a silver platform . Structure of the Mandir is composed of three parts . The first compromises a spire on the Mandir of Lord Vishwanath or Mahadeva . The second is gold dome and the third is the gold spire atop Lord Vishwanath carrying a flag and a trident . The Kashi Vishwanath temple receives around 3,000 visitors every day . On certain occasions the numbers reach 1,000,000 and more . Noteworthy about the temple is 15.5 metre high gold spire and gold dome . There are three domes each made up of pure gold . Importance of the temple ( edit ) Street near temple Located on the banks of the holy Ganges , Varanasi is regarded among the holiest of the Hindu cities . The Kashi Vishwanath temple is widely recognized as one of the most important places of worship in Hindu religion . Inside the Kashi Vishvanath Temple is the Jyotirlinga of Shiva , Vishveshvara or Vishvanath . The Vishveshvara Jyotirlinga has a very special and unique significance in the spiritual history of India . Many leading saints , including Adi Sankaracharya , Ramakrishna Paramhansa , Swami Vivekananda , Bamakhyapa , Goswami Tulsidas , Swami Dayananda Saraswati , Sathya Sai Baba and Gurunanak have visited the site . A visit to the temple and a bath in the river Ganges is one of many methods believed to lead one on a path to Moksha ( liberation ) . Thus , Hindus from all over the world try to visit the place at least once in their lifetime . There is also a tradition that one should give up at least one desire after a pilgrimage the temple , and the pilgrimage would also include a visit to the temple at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu in Southern India , where people take water samples of the Ganges to perform prayer at the temple and bring back sand from near that temple . Because of the immense popularity and holiness of Kashi Vishwanath temple , hundreds of temples across India have been built in the same architectural style . Many legends record that the true devotee achieves freedom from death and saṃsāra by the worship of Shiva , Shiva 's devotees on death being directly taken to his abode on Mount Kailash by his messengers and not to Yama . The superiority of Shiva and his victory over his own nature -- Shiva is himself identified with death -- is also stated .

For the United States constitutional amendments , see United States Bill of Rights . `` Charter of rights '' redirects here . For the Canadian constitutional charter , see Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789 is a fundamental document of the French Revolution and in the history of human rights . Draft of the United States Bill of Rights , also from 1789 A bill of rights , sometimes called a declaration of rights or a charter of rights , is a list of the most important rights to the citizens of a country . The purpose is to protect those rights against infringement from public officials and private citizens . The term `` bill of rights '' originates from England , where it refers to the Bill of Rights 1689 enacted by Parliament following the Glorious Revolution , asserting the supremacy of Parliament over the monarch , and listing a number of fundamental rights and liberties . Bills of rights may be entrenched or unentrenched . An entrenched bill of rights can not be modified or repealed by a country 's legislature through normal procedure , instead requiring a supermajority or referendum ; often it is part of a country 's constitution and therefore subject to special procedures applicable to constitutional amendments . A not entrenched bill of rights is a normal statute law and as such can be modified or repealed by the legislature at will . In practice , not every jurisdiction enforces the protection of the rights articulated in its bill of rights .

In 1973 , Federal Attorney - General Lionel Murphy introduced a human rights Bill into parliament , although it was never passed . In 1984 , Senator Stephen Bunce drafted a Bill of Rights , but it was never introduced into parliament , and in 1985 , Senator Lionel Bowen introduced a bill of rights , which was passed by the House of Representatives , but failed to pass the Senate . Former Australian Prime Minister John Howard has argued against a bill of rights for Australia on the grounds it would transfer power from elected politicians ( populist politics ) to unelected ( constitutional ) judges and bureaucrats . Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory ( ACT ) are the only states and territories to have a human rights Act . However , the principle of legality present in the Australian judicial system , seeks to ensure that legislation is interpreted so as not to interfere with basic human rights , unless legislation expressly intends to interfere .

For Father 's Day as observed throughout the world , see Father 's Day . Father 's Day A man feeds his daughter on Father 's Day Observed by United States Type Commercial Significance Honors fathers and fatherhood Date Third Sunday in June 2016 date June 19 ( 2016 - 06 - 19 ) 2017 date June 18 ( 2017 - 06 - 18 ) 2018 date June 17 ( 2018 - 06 - 17 ) 2019 date June 16 ( 2019 - 06 - 16 ) Frequency annual Related to Mother 's Day Father 's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood , paternal bonds , and the influence of fathers in society . The tradition was said to be started from a memorial service held for a large group of men who died in a mining accident in Monongah , West Virginia in 1907 . It was first proposed by Sonora Dodd of Spokane , Washington in 1909 . It is currently celebrated in the United States annually on the third Sunday in June . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Spelling 3 Dates 4 References 4.1 Sources 5 External links History ( edit ) Father 's Day was inaugurated in the United States in the early 20th century to complement Mother 's Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting . Father 's Day was founded in Spokane , Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd , who was born in Arkansas . Its first celebration was in the Spokane YMCA on June 19 , 1910 . Her father , the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart , was a single parent who raised his six children there . After hearing a sermon about Jarvis ' Mother 's Day at Central Methodist Episcopal Church in 1909 , she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honoring them . Although she initially suggested June 5 , her father 's birthday , the pastors did not have enough time to prepare their sermons , and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June . It did not have much success initially . In the 1920s , Dodd stopped promoting the celebration because she was studying in the Art Institute of Chicago , and it faded into relative obscurity , even in Spokane . In the 1930s Dodd returned to Spokane and started promoting the celebration again , raising awareness at a national level . She had the help of those trade groups that would benefit most from the holiday , for example the manufacturers of ties , tobacco pipes , and any traditional present to fathers . Since 1938 she had the help of the Father 's Day Council , founded by the New York Associated Men 's Wear Retailers to consolidate and systematize the commercial promotion . Americans resisted the holiday during a few decades , perceiving it as just an attempt by merchants to replicate the commercial success of Mother 's Day , and newspapers frequently featured cynical and sarcastic attacks and jokes . But the trade groups did not give up : they kept promoting it and even incorporated the jokes into their adverts , and they eventually succeeded . By the mid-1980s the Father 's Council wrote that `` ( ... ) ( Father 's Day ) has become a Second Christmas for all the men 's gift - oriented industries . '' A bill to accord national recognition of the holiday was introduced in Congress in 1913 . In 1916 , President Woodrow Wilson went to Spokane to speak in a Father 's Day celebration and wanted to make it official , but Congress resisted , fearing that it would become commercialized . US President Calvin Coolidge recommended in 1924 that the day be observed by the nation , but stopped short of issuing a national proclamation . Two earlier attempts to formally recognize the holiday had been defeated by Congress . In 1957 , Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honoring mothers , thus `` ( singling ) out just one of our two parents '' . In 1966 , President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers , designating the third Sunday in June as Father 's Day . Six years later , the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972 . In addition to Father 's Day , International Men 's Day is celebrated in many countries on November 19 for men and boys who are not fathers . A `` Father 's Day '' service was held on July 5 , 1908 , in Fairmont , West Virginia , in the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South , now known as Central United Methodist Church . Grace Golden Clayton was mourning the loss of her father when , on December 1907 , the Monongah Mining Disaster in nearby Monongah killed 361 men , 250 of them fathers , leaving around a thousand fatherless children . Clayton suggested her pastor Robert Thomas Webb to honor all those fathers . Clayton chose the Sunday nearest to the birthday of her father , Methodist minister Fletcher Golden . Clayton 's event did not have repercussions outside of Fairmont for several reasons , among them : the city was overwhelmed by other events , the celebration was never promoted outside of the town itself and no proclamation was made in the City Council . Also two events overshadowed this event : the celebration of Independence Day July 4 , 1908 , with 12,000 attendants and several shows including a hot air balloon event , which took over the headlines in the following days , and the death of a 16 - year - old girl on July 4 . The local church and Council were overwhelmed and they did not even think of promoting the event , and it was not celebrated again for many years . The original sermon was not reproduced in press and it was lost . Finally , Clayton was a quiet person , who never promoted the event or even talked to other persons about it . Clayton also may have been inspired by Anna Jarvis ' crusade to establish Mother 's Day ; two months prior , Jarvis had held a celebration for her dead mother in Grafton , West Virginia , a town about 15 miles ( 24 km ) away from Fairmont . In 1911 , Jane Addams proposed a citywide Father 's Day in Chicago , but she was turned down . In 1912 , there was a Father 's Day celebration in Vancouver , Washington , suggested by Methodist pastor J.J. Berringer of the Irvingtom Methodist Church . They believed mistakenly that they had been the first to celebrate such a day . They followed a 1911 suggestion by the Portland Oregonian . Harry C. Meek , member of Lions Clubs International , claimed that he had first the idea for Father 's Day in 1915 . Meek claimed that the third Sunday of June was chosen because it was his birthday ( it would have been more natural to choose his father 's birthday ) . The Lions Club has named him `` Originator of Father 's Day '' . Meek made many efforts to promote Father 's Day and make it an official holiday . The U.S. Open golf tournament is scheduled to finish on Father 's Day , as was the 2016 NBA Finals . The FireKeepers Casino 400 NASCAR auto race at Michigan International Speedway is sometimes held on Father 's Day . On June 16 , 2017 , Donald Trump proclaimed Father 's Day . Spelling ( edit ) In the United States , Dodd used the `` Fathers ' Day '' spelling on her original petition for the holiday , but the spelling `` Father 's Day '' was already used in 1913 when a bill was introduced to the U.S. Congress as the first attempt to establish the holiday , and it was still spelled the same way when its creator was commended in 2008 by the U.S. Congress .

"Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. The tradition was said to be started from a memorial service held for a large group of men who died in a mining accident in Monongah, West Virginia in 1907.[1] It was first proposed by Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Washington in 1909.[2] It is currently celebrated in the United States annually on the third Sunday in June.[3]"

However , most of the villagers think he is insane for crafting devices believed ridiculous and impossible to construct in reality . During the beginning of the movie , he is working on a machine that automatically chops up firewood . Once it is successfully working , he leaves for the County Fair to display his invention . However , he is unable to make it to the fair due to getting lost in the woods . After going down a path that results in the loss of his horse and cart , and being attacked and nearly killed by a pack of rabid wolves , he winds up at the gate of a dark castle . When he enters the castle to stay for the night , he ends up being locked up by the Beast , the castle 's master . Belle learns of what happened and goes to the castle , attempting to release her father . She then tries to convince the Beast to release him from the castle . She succeeds in convincing the Beast to release him , under the condition that she is to take her father 's place , to Maurice 's protests . Maurice is forcibly taken back to the village . Upon returning to the village , Maurice tries to seek the villagers ' help in trying to rescue Belle , but they do n't believe him , and they consequently throw him out of the tavern . Determined to not give up on Belle , he decides to return to the castle alone . However , it does n't take long before he succumbs to an unknown illness due to the cold weather . Luckily , Belle discovers that her father is in trouble via the Beast 's Magic Mirror and is released by the Beast so she can save him . Shortly after arriving back home , Le Fou has alarmed the villagers of their return . Shortly thereafter , Monsieur D'Arque , the keeper of the Maison de Lunes Insane Asylum , and the other villagers come to take Maurice to the insane asylum in an intricate plan to blackmail Belle into marrying Gaston . Belle reveals that Maurice 's rants are true and that the Beast does exist . Both she and Maurice are locked up by Gaston in the cellar , to stop them from interfering with Gaston 's goal to kill the Beast . Chip has managed to stow away in Belle 's satchel and uses the automated firewood cutter to destroy the door to the cellar . Maurice and Belle leave for the castle to stop Gaston from killing the Beast . He is last seen in the ballroom standing by Mrs. Potts as he happily watches Belle and the Beast ( who is now transformed back into a handsome prince ) dance while he laughs at Chip 's question to his mother whether he still has to ' stay in the cupboard ' . In the 2017 live - action remake , Maurice is played by Kevin Kline . He remains as an inventor , but makes music boxes to help Belle see the world from the comfort of home in the village of Villeneuve . He fled Paris and settled in the provinces with Belle when she was still a baby to protect the both of them from a plague that took the life of Belle 's mother and Maurice 's wife . True to the original story , Maurice is imprisoned by the Beast for taking a rose from his garden instead of being caught trespassing in the castle . Maurice returns to Villeneuve to find help , but only Gaston and LeFou are willing to do so . However , Gaston only wanted to help in order to get Maurice 's blessing for his marriage to Belle . Knowing that Belle has no interest in marrying Gaston , Maurice refuses her hand , prompting Gaston to leave him to die at the hands of the wolves . The Enchantress , disguised as a villager named Agathe , rescues him and takes him back to Villeneuve . Upon his return , Maurice attempts to have Gaston arrested for attempted murder , but Gaston in turn declares him insane and has him committed to an insane asylum . Belle arrives back in time to vindicate Maurice , but both are locked in the asylum wagon while the whole village goes to kill the Beast . After Maurice and Belle make amends regarding Belle now understanding why Maurice was so overly protective of her , thanks to the Beast , Maurice uses his inventor skills to pick the lock on the wagon , allowing Belle to take Phillipe back to the Beast 's castle while Maurice remains behind with the dumbfounded Monsieur D'Arque . At the end of the movie , Maurice is seen painting the ballroom dance as everyone celebrates . He only makes a cameo in Beauty and the Beast : The Enchanted Christmas as one of the people listening to the story Mrs. Potts is telling , and makes his debut appearance in the Kingdom Hearts series in Kingdom Hearts χ .

Lumière tries to help Beast become more civil for Belle , and sometimes rebels against the Beast if it suits the other characters ' needs ( like allowing Belle to have dinner despite Beast 's refusal to let them feed her ) . Later , after the Beast rescues Belle from more wolves , and Belle nurses the beast back to health , earning his affections in the process , Lumière , aware of what would impress such a voracious reader , astutely suggests that the Beast give Belle the castle 's immense library as a gift , which has the desired effect . He also tries to help the Beast learn how to do the waltz . He is initially upset that Belle leaves the castle , but he remains optimistic at the same time , since he 's still convinced that she 'll break the spell . When he discovers that the castle is going to be invaded by Gaston 's lynch mob , he plans the battle . He then decides to set up a trap where all of the furniture is in the foyer , and he gives the signal to attack .

He later plays a small role in the final battle against Xaldin . Lumière is played by Scottish actor , Ewan McGregor in the live - action version of Beauty and the Beast . This depiction of Lumiere has him as a charismatic bouteiller who has been transformed into a human - shaped candelabra with a bronze human - like face , arms tipped with candles and legs to walk with as well .

When he reports to the Beast her refusal , he tries desperately to calm him down , as well as keep him calm when trying to get her to join him for dinner . He follows the Beast 's orders to deny her dinner , but he eventually relents , telling them to at least keep the noise down . He is eventually swept up in the boisterous `` Be Our Guest '' number . Later he learns that the Beast let Belle go , much to his dismay . He then tells everyone the bad news , and seems resigned to his fate ( as the rose is nearing the last petal ) . When the residents of the castle learn of the upcoming invasion , he tries to come up with a plan to stop the villagers , but the others leave him before he can finish . He later participates in the battle and saves Lumiere from Le Fou by sliding down the banister and prodding Le Fou 's rear end with a pair of scissors . He , Lumiere and Mrs. Potts rush to aid the Beast who is fighting against Gaston , but arrive after the battle 's end , when the Beast dies from a mortal wound from Gaston , who fell from the West Wing . The spell breaks , however , reviving the Beast and returning Cogsworth and the others to their original forms . In the end , he gets into an argument with Lumiere about who told who about Belle breaking the spell ( it was Lumiere ) . In The Enchanted Christmas , he is initially opposed to the idea of Christmas ( mainly due to his master 's opposition ) , but eventually decides that Christmas in the castle would n't be such a bad idea .

Her stage name supposedly means `` Mistress of the Big Mouth '' in a semi-literal English translation . The Marvel Comics serial for the movie , taking place during the movie , referred to her status as an opera singer that performed even to the king . She later appears in Kingdom Hearts II in her homeworld , Beast 's Castle .

During the attempted wedding , he acts as a conductor to signal the playing of a fast tempo version on `` Here Comes the Bride '' . Later , when Gaston comes up with a plan to arrange for Maurice to be sent to the insane asylum to force Belle to marry him , they head to Belle 's house , but both she and Maurice are gone . Gaston decides to have Le Fou stay near the house and let him know when they return , much to Le Fou 's chagrin . After a while , when Belle brings Maurice home , Le Fou alerts Gaston so he can put his plan into action . After learning that the Beast exists , he accompanies Gaston and the rest of the lynch mob to the castle to kill the Beast singing `` The Mob Song '' with everybody . He picks up Lumière upon entering the castle , and Lumiere 's signal begins the battle . During the battle , Le Fou attempts to kill Lumiere by waving a torch perilously close to Lumiere 's head , but Cogsworth saves him by jabbing scissors hard in Le Fou 's rear end . He is last seen escaping with the rest of the villagers . It is left unknown if he knew Gaston died against the Beast , though it 's possible that Gaston 's absence from then on gave him that message . In the beginning of The Enchanted Christmas , despite the rest of the villagers being invited to the castle for a Christmas party , Le Fou is not present . In the movie , Le Fou was voiced by Venezuelan voice actor Jesse Corti , who also voiced Le Fou in the Spanish - language dub of the film , making Le Fou one of the few characters to share the same voice actor in two different dubs of the movie . In the 2017 live - action adaptation , Le Fou is portrayed by Josh Gad . In the version with Gad , the character is gay , becoming the first homosexual in a Disney film . In one deleted scene , Le Fou helped Gaston to break up the headmaster leading the villagers into destroying Belle 's laundry invention by shooting the gun in the air twice with the second time having a cow accidentally killed . Unlike in the original 1991 animated film during the fight at the Beast 's castle , he saves Mrs. Potts when she falls from the chandelier and switches sides to helping the Beast 's servants after Gaston abandons him while he takes a beating from the servants . One deleted scene had him given a bad encounter with Monsieur Toilette which causes him to run out of the room he was in . In another deleted scene following the spell being broken , Le Fou runs into Monsieur Toilette 's true form which identified from the bathroom smell . At the end of this version , he briefly dances with the ( presumably gay ) Stanley , who was also a friend and minion of Gaston 's . In the 2017 version , Le Fou is thus a rounder character , with complex motivations . Monsieur D'Arque Monsieur D'Arque First appearance Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) Portrayed by Adrian Schiller ( live - action film ) Voiced by Tony Jay Monsieur D'Arque is the owner of the local madhouse or Asylum for Loons . Gaston bribes him to take part in a scheme to blackmail Belle into marrying him in which D'Arque will threaten to have Belle 's rather eccentric father Maurice sent to the madhouse . After Belle returns from the Beast 's castle , Monsieur D'Arque appears to collect Maurice as Gaston Le Fou , and most of the villagers are present . He is only seen in these two scenes , and his fate after the Beast 's existence is revealed is left ambiguous . He also appears in the 2017 version . He only appears after Gaston demands that Maurice be put into the asylum and also tries to lock up both Maurice and Belle on Gaston 's orders while being told to make sure they do n't get out . Monsieur D'Arque is dumbfounded when he discovers that the two had managed to escape . As Belle rides off , Maurice asks Monsieur D'Arque if he has children . The Triplets Claudette , Laurette , and Paulette First appearance Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) Portrayed by Sophie Reid ( Eliana ) Rafaëlle Cohen ( Elise ) Carla Nella ( Eloïse ) Voiced by Kath Soucie ( Paulette ( 1991 film ) ; all characters ( subsequent appearances ) ) Mary Kay Bergman ( Claudette and Laurette ( 1991 film ) ) The Triplets , also known as the `` Bimbettes '' , are a trio of beautiful blonde women who fawn over Gaston . The real names of the girls are Claudette , who wears a red dress , Laurette , who wears yellow dress , and Paulette , who wears a green dress . They think Belle is crazy when they see her refusing Gaston 's advances . They are also upset when Gaston decides to marry Belle , as they are seen crying when he is announcing that he will propose to Belle . They are later seen comforting and fawning over Gaston in the bar . They are not part of the mob who tries to kill the Beast . The end of the Gaston song implies that they acted as waitresses in the tavern due to Paulette being seen with a silver platter . In the beginning of `` The Enchanted Christmas , '' despite the rest of the villagers being invited to the castle for a Christmas party , the Triplets are n't present . The triplets also appear in the Marvel Comics serial for Beauty and the Beast , which was set during Belle 's stay at the castle . They are generally within the B - stories , where they try to sabotage Gaston 's plans to marry Belle , with varying success . In the Musical , their roles are the same , although they are given more dialogue and their role is expanded slightly . They have made regular appearances on `` Disney 's House of Mouse . '' They are now all voiced by Kath Soucie ( who had originally just voiced Paulette ) , due to Mary Kay Bergman 's suicide by the time the show was made . They also appear in the 2017 live - action remake . Although their overall roles were the same , they are in fact among the mob late in the film unlike in the 1991 original . In addition , the triplets were given a significantly different appearance , where they wore similarly - colored pink dresses , and possessed heavy makeup , a beauty spot , and brunette hair , as well as explicitly disliking Belle ( Bill Condon and Rafaëlle Cohen both indicated the triplets ' dislike of Belle dealt with their own mom neglecting them and doting on the latter ) . They are also depicted as being more haughty and vain . Their occupations also changed , acting as seamstresses in the remake . The three of them are among the villagers that accompany Gaston to the Beast 's castle to kill the Beast where they end up fighting the servants . One deleted scene had the Triplets chasing Frou - Frou into the kitchen where Cuisiner throws food on them . It is left unknown if they knew Gaston died against the Beast , though it 's possible that Gaston 's absence from then on gave them that message . Lastly , they were also given significantly different names by their actresses , being Elise ( portrayed by Rafaëlle Cohen ) , Eliana ( portrayed by Sophie Reid ) , and Eloïse ( portrayed by Carla Nella ) , though the names have not currently been officiated . The Baker The Baker First appearance Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) Portrayed by Dale Branston Voiced by Alec Murphy The Baker is the head of a bakery in the village that Belle lived in . He says good morning to Belle and asks where Belle is off to . When Belle states that she is on her way to the bookstore to return a book about a beanstalk and an ogre , the Baker quotes `` That 's nice '' and shouts into the bakery for Marie to hurry up with the baguettes . The Baker later provides the birthday cake for Gaston 's wedding proposal for Belle which does n't go well . After Belle returned from the Beast 's castle , the Baker is among the villagers gathered by Gaston at the time when Gaston as Monsieur D'Arque comes to collect Maurice . After Belle uses the Beast 's mirror to show that the Beast exists , the Baker is among the villagers that accompany Gaston and Le Fou to the Beast 's Castle to kill the Beast only for the villagers to be fended off by the transformed servants . In the live - action film , Belle is seen during the first song buying one of the Baker 's foods and his discussion to Belle was transferred to Jean Potts . The Baker was seen when the Headmaster had roused the villagers into destroying Belle 's laundry invention after the Headmaster caught Belle teaching a girl how to read . Like the animated film , the Baker is among the villagers that accompany Gaston and Le Fou to the Beast 's castle to kill the Beast only for the villagers to be fended off by the transformed servants . The Bookseller The Bookseller First appearance Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) Portrayed by Ray Fearon ( live - action film ) Voiced by Alvin Epstein The Bookseller is the owner of a small bookstore / library in the village that Belle lived in . He is one of a few villagers that are friendly to Belle . When Belle visits his place of work , the Bookseller states that he has n't received any new books yet . He does allow Belle to keep the book that she has borrowed twice . In the live - action film , the Bookseller is replaced with Père Robert who is Villeneuve 's local chaplain . He encourages Belle to borrow the books in the chapel 's meager library . He later helps Belle pick up some laundry when the cruel headmaster had some villagers throw them on the street after he discovered her trying to teach a young girl how to read . When Gaston has Monsieur D'Arque take Maurice to the Asylum after being accused for leaving him for dead , Père Robert insists that Maurice is n't insane and suggests that he be brought to a hospital . As Gaston leads the villagers to the Beast 's castle with an intention to kill the Beast , Père Robert watched in horror as villagers furiously marched toward their destination while he defiantly remains behind and shuns himself from participating . After the spell that was cast by the Enchantress was broken , Père Robert was among those seen attending the ball . The Enchantress The Enchantress First appearance Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) Portrayed by Hattie Morahan ( live - action film ) Voiced by Kath Soucie ( second film ) The Enchantress is an off - screen , minor character , but she is responsible for the events in the story , as revealed in the prologue that it is she who curses Prince Adam as the Beast . She pays a visit to the castle one cold winter night and poses as an ugly , old peddler woman , offering a single rose for shelter . After being turned away by the prince twice , she reveals her true self ( young and beautiful , yet cruel and hypocritical ) and punishes him by transforming him into the Beast , his servants into objects , and his castle into a horrific version of itself laden with ugly gargoyles and grotesque statues . The Enchantress left the Beast with only two items , a magic mirror as the only window to the outside world , and the rose she had tried to give him . It turns out the rose is enchanted , working as an hourglass : it will bloom until his 21st birthday , when its petals will begin to fall . When the last petal falls , the prince will remain a Beast forever . The spell can only be broken if he can learn to love and receives love in return . Her spell is broken at the last second by Belle 's confession of love for the Beast . In The Enchanted Christmas , it is revealed that the Enchantress ' visit that resulted in the curse occurred on Christmas Day , which resulted in Adam 's dislike for the holiday . The Enchantress is voiced by Kath Soucie in the flashback scene of the film . In the live - action version , the Enchantress is played by Hattie Morahan , who also serves as the narrator of the prologue . She came to a debutante ball disguised as a beggar woman ( portrayed by Rita Davies ) and offered a rose as payment for shelter from the storm . The Prince turned her away twice , prompting her to reveal her true self . She not only transformed the prince , his servants , and the castle , but erased the villagers ' memory of the prince . Years later , she reappeared disguised as a hermit named Agathe . A deleted scene during the `` Belle '' song had Belle giving bread and jam to Agathe . She later tended to Maurice when Gaston left him for dead for the latter 's refusal to hand Belle in marriage . Later , she came to the Beast 's chamber while the Beast lay near death and overheard Belle profess her love for him despite it already being too late , as the last petal on the rose had fallen . She turned the rose into enchanted dust which revived the Beast and transformed both him and his servants into humans once again .

In the `` Belle 's Magical World '' segment `` Mrs. Potts ' Party , '' Chef Bouche is instructed by Belle to bake a cake for Mrs. Potts . Even though he ran into difficulty , Chef Bouche succeeded in making the cake as he and the kitchen staff help Belle present it to Mrs. Potts . In the live - action film , Chef Bouche was renamed Cuisiner . In addition to being changed into a stove , he also consists of various pots , pans , and other kitchen utensils as facial features and body parts . Cuisiner is shown preparing a dinner for Belle on Lumiere 's orders without the Beast finding out . A deleted scene has Cuisiner taking part in the battle against the villagers where he throws molasses and feathers all over the Triplets that chased Frou Frou into the kitchen . In the same deleted scene where Le Fou had finished talking with Monsieur Toilette , Cuisiner is shown hugging a villager that he knows as Monsieur Toilette passes them . When the villager reacts to the hotness as a side effect of Cuisiner having been a stove , Cuisiner apologizes to the villager . The villager gives him a forgiveness gesture . Coat Rack Coat Rack First appearance Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) Portrayed by Thomas Padden ( live - action film ) The Coat Rack is an unnamed servant of the Beast who was turned into a coat rack that sports a green hat .

Introduced in Beauty and the Beast : the Enchanted Christmas Forte Forte First appearance Beauty and the Beast : The Enchanted Christmas ( 1997 ) Voiced by Tim Curry Forte is the composer of the castle and serves as the main antagonist of The Enchanted Christmas . When the Enchantress curses the Beast , he is transformed into a pipe organ . Unlike the other cursed denizens , he enjoys the new form that he has for its power , as he feels that he 's more useful to the Beast in this form than as his human form . As such , he intends to sabotage the Beast and Belle 's relationship to ensure that the spell is never broken . He also uses Fife the Piccolo to carry out his plan , promising him his own musical solo when he succeeds ( though he never actually intends to give the solo to him ) . He tries to lure Belle away from the castle to get a Christmas tree in an area beyond a frozen lake . While she 's away , Forte tells the Beast that Belle has abandoned him , thus fueling more anger into the Beast . He then proceeds to tell the Beast to destroy the Enchanted Rose , but the Beast ultimately decides not to when a rose petal lands on the storybook from Belle , thus allowing the Beast to regain his senses . Enraged at this failure , and refusing to `` fade away '' , he decides to destroy the entire castle with his music , as the Beast and Belle ca n't fall in love if they are both dead . He ultimately meets his end when the Beast rips out his keyboard and wrecks it , causing Forte to try to kill the Beast by lunging at him . He ends up being dislodged from the wall causing Forte to crash to the ground . NOTE : When The Enchanted Christmas was originally conceived as a direct sequel to the first film , the character of Forte was written as Avenant , Gaston 's vengeful younger brother who would also be determined to ruin Belle and Adam 's lives before meeting his own end .

"Cogsworth is the Beast's tightly wound and extremely loyal Majordomo, and Lumière's counterpart and rival. When the Enchantress curses the Beast, he is transformed into a pendulum clock. He initially tries to stop the others from allowing Maurice to stay at the castle (as he knows the Beast would not approve), but ultimately gives in. When the Beast arrives, he tries to explain what happened, but the Beast is too angry to hear what happened. He tries to get Belle to come to dinner, but she refuses. When he reports to the Beast her refusal, he tries desperately to calm him down, as well as keep him calm when trying to get her to join him for dinner. He follows the Beast's orders to deny her dinner, but he eventually relents, telling them to at least keep the noise down. He is eventually swept up in the boisterous \"Be Our Guest\" number. Later he learns that the Beast let Belle go, much to his dismay. He then tells everyone the bad news, and seems resigned to his fate (as the rose is nearing the last petal). When the residents of the castle learn of the upcoming invasion, he tries to come up with a plan to stop the villagers, but the others leave him before he can finish. He later participates in the battle and saves Lumiere from Le Fou by sliding down the banister and prodding Le Fou's rear end with a pair of scissors. He, Lumiere and Mrs. Potts rush to aid the Beast who is fighting against Gaston, but arrive after the battle's end, when the Beast dies from a mortal wound from Gaston, who fell from the West Wing. The spell breaks, however, reviving the Beast and returning Cogsworth and the others to their original forms. In the end, he gets into an argument with Lumiere about who told who about Belle breaking the spell (it was Lumiere)."

She is upset because two of her fathers , Harry and Bill , are unable to make it to the reopening and she is having trouble in her relationship with Sky , who is in New York , over her memorializing her mother 's life . In 1979 , a young Donna graduated from Oxford 's New College with Rosie and Tanya , and prepares to travel the world . In Paris , she meets and parties with Harry . They spend the night together , but Donna leaves soon after . She later misses her boat to Kalokairi but is offered a ride by Bill , and along the way , they are able to help a stranded fisherman , Alexio , make it in time to stop the love of his life from marrying another . Unbeknownst to Donna , Harry has followed her to Greece ; but he arrived too late , and sadly watches the boat sailing off in the distance . In the present , Tanya and Rosie arrive to support Sophie with the reopening and it 's revealed that Rosie and Bill have split up . Sophie then visits Sam , who is still grieving over the death of Donna . Back in the past , Donna arrives on the island and while exploring the farmhouse , a sudden storm causes her to discover a spooked horse in the basement . She goes in search of help only to find a young Sam riding his motorcycle and he helps her to save the horse . Back in the present , a storm has caused serious disruption to Sophie 's plans for the grand reopening and prevented media coverage of the event . Back in the past , Donna and Sam are enjoying a whirlwind romance , that ends when Donna discovers a picture of Sam 's fiancée in his drawer . A devastated Donna demands that Sam leave the island . In the present , Sam tells Sophie about her value to her mother . Meanwhile , Harry leaves his business deal in Tokyo to support Sophie , and separately Bill gets the same idea . Bill and Harry meet at the docks but are told there are no boats . However , Alexio gives Bill , Harry and the newly arrived Sky boat passage . In the past , a depressed Donna is heartbroken over Sam but is able to channel her anger into singing with Tanya and Rosie . She meets Bill again and they go out on his boat ; while they are gone , Sam returns , having recently ended his engagement for Donna , but is saddened to hear that she is with another man and leaves the island again . Donna discovers she is pregnant but has no idea which one of her three recent lovers is the father . Sofia , the mother of the owner of the bar where Donna and the Dynamos performed , overhears Donna 's wish to stay on the island and offers to let Donna live at her farmhouse and Donna happily accepts . It is there that she eventually gives birth to Sophie . Back in the present , the guests have arrived at the party and Sophie is reunited with her other two fathers and Sky . Sophie reveals to Sky she is pregnant and has never felt closer to her mother , having now understood what her mother went through . Bill and Rosie reunite over their grief for Donna . Sophie 's estranged grandmother and Donna 's mother , Ruby , arrives despite Sophie having decided not to invite her . She reveals that Sky tracked her down in New York and she wants to build a real relationship with Sophie . Sophie then performs a song with Tanya and Rosie in honor of her mother , with her grandmother tearfully telling her afterward how proud she is of her . It is then revealed that the manager of the hotel , Fernando , is Ruby 's ex-lover from 1959 in Mexico , and the two are joyously reunited . Nine months later , Sophie has given birth to a baby boy named Donny . Everyone has gathered for his christening where Tanya flirts with Fernando 's brother .

528699967035424922 | Shelob | Shelob - wikipedia Shelob Jump to : navigation , search For the song Shelob 's Lair , see Music of The Lord of the Rings film series . Shelob Tolkien 's legendarium character Race Spider Book ( s ) The Two Towers ( 1954 ) Shelob is a fictional giant spider from J.R.R. Tolkien 's Middle - earth legendarium . She appears at the end of the fourth book , second volume ( The Two Towers ) , of The Lord of the Rings . Her lair lies in Cirith Ungol ( `` the pass of the spider '' ) leading into Mordor . Gollum deliberately leads Frodo Baggins there in hopes of recovering the One Ring when Shelob attacks Frodo . The plan is foiled when Samwise Gamgee greatly injures Shelob with Frodo 's Elvish dagger , Sting , and the Phial of Galadriel . Contents ( hide ) 1 Literature 2 Name 3 Adaptations 4 See also 5 References Literature ( edit ) Shelob was an `` evil thing in spider - form ... ( the ) last child of Ungoliant to trouble the unhappy world '' , living high in the Ephel Dúath mountains on the borders of Mordor . There are numerous references to her predating the events of The Lord of the Rings by many ages . Although she resided in Mordor and was unrepentantly evil , she was independent of Sauron and his influence . This creature makes her first appearance in the chapter `` The Stairs of Cirith Ungol '' , though she is formally introduced in the next chapter `` Shelob 's Lair '' where the author says `` But still she was there , who was there before Sauron , and before the first stone of Barad - dûr ; and she served none but herself , drinking the blood of Elves and Men , bloated and grown fat with endless brooding on her feasts , weaving webs of shadow ; for all living things were her food , and her vomit darkness '' . Her descendants include the Giant Spiders defeated by Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit . Shelob 's lair was Torech Ungol , below Cirith Ungol ( `` Pass of the Spider '' ) , along the path that Sam Gamgee and Frodo Baggins took into Mordor , where Shelob had encountered Gollum during his previous trip to Mordor , and he apparently worshipped her . The Orcs of the Tower of Cirith Ungol called her `` Shelob the Great '' and `` Her Ladyship '' , and referred to Gollum as `` Her Sneak '' . Sauron himself was aware of her existence , but left her alone , as a useful guard on the pass , and occasionally fed prisoners to her . In the story , Gollum led the Hobbits into her lair to himself recover the One Ring after she consumed them . She cornered them ; but Frodo used the Phial of Galadriel 's light to drive her off , and used Sting to cut the webs blocking the tunnel . Gollum waylaid the pair and tried to strangle Sam , while Shelob paralysed Frodo ; whereafter Sam fought off Gollum and then wielded Sting against Shelob . Seeking to crush Sam , she instead impaled herself upon Sting ; and was nearly blinded by the Phial of Galadriel ; whereupon she fled . Thinking Frodo dead , Sam took the Ring from his friend and left his body behind , but discovered by listening to a pair of Orcs that Frodo was alive but senseless , under a minor influence of venom . Name ( edit ) As Tolkien admitted in a letter to his son , Shelob `` is of course only ' she + lob ' , '' - lob being an archaic English word for spider , influenced by Old English loppe or `` spider '' . The word is not related to `` cob '' nor `` cobweb '' . Old English attercoppe ( meaning `` spider '' ) is derived from atter meaning `` poison '' and coppe meaning `` head '' ; Tolkien used `` attercop '' as well as `` cob '' and `` lob '' in The Hobbit , where Bilbo Baggins sings songs taunting the giant spiders in Mirkwood : `` Attercop , Attercop , Old Tomnoddy '' and `` Lazy Lob and Crazy Cob '' . Adaptations ( edit ) Shelob fights Sam Gamgee in Peter Jackson 's film adaptation of The Return of the King . In the 1981 BBC Radio adaption of The Lord of the Rings , Shelob is portrayed by BBC Radiophonic Workshop member Jenny Lee via a series of treated vocal effects . As part of the technical crew Lee had contributed sound effects elsewhere in the series , but received an acting credit for her work on Shelob . In Peter Jackson 's film trilogy , Shelob 's appearance is delayed until the middle of the third movie , The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King , wherein Shelob has a retractable venomous wasp - like stinger between the spinnerets , which she uses to paralyze Frodo . She also appears to have a gaping mouth , equipped with four chelicerae and two fangs . Of her eyes , only four are visible . In a DVD commentary , Jackson says Shelob 's appearance is mostly based on the New Zealand tunnel - web spider . In the video game The Return of the King , based on the film , Shelob is one of the bosses and her defeat is required to beat the level `` Shelob 's Lair '' . In The Lord of the Rings : The Battle for Middle - earth II , Shelob is a hireable hero - unit of the Goblin faction . In the video game Lego The Lord of the Rings , she is the enemy of the level The Secret Stairs , briefly , as Frodo and Gollum run away from her . She then appears at the start of the next level , Cirith Ungol , wherein the player ( s ) can use the characters of Samwise Gamgee or the Orc , Shagrat . Shelob is a major character in the video game Middle - earth : Shadow of War , where she serves as both the narrator and an ally to player character Talion . In the game , Shelob uses her Maian shape - shifting ability to assume the form of an attractive human woman . Following criticism of this decision , creative director Michael de Plater explained his interpretation that Gollum and Shelob were `` the unsung heroes of The Lord of the Rings '' , with Shelob sensing Frodo 's weakness and making a pact with Gollum to hasten him to Mount Doom and the confrontation that destroys the ring . De Plater envisioned Shelob as a dark counterpart to Galadriel , noting how both manipulate lesser beings , but that Shelob is more honest .

The U.S. increased the ratio of public and private debt from 152 % GDP in 1980 to peak at 296 % GDP in 2008 , before falling to 279 % GDP by Q2 2011 . The 2009 - 2011 decline was due to foreclosures and increased rates of household saving . There were significant declines in debt to GDP in each sector except the government , which ran large deficits to offset deleveraging or debt reduction in other sectors . As of 2009 , there was $50.7 trillion of debt owed by US households , businesses , and governments , representing more than 3.5 times the annual gross domestic product of the United States . As of the first quarter of 2010 , domestic financial assets totaled $131 trillion and domestic financial liabilities $106 trillion . Tangible assets in 2008 ( such as real estate and equipment ) for selected sectors totaled an additional $56.3 trillion .

Net worth is a valuable measure of creditworthiness and financial health since the calculation includes both financial obligations and the capacity to service those obligations . The net worth of the United States and its economic sectors has remained relatively consistent over time . The total net worth of the United States remained between 4.5 and 6 times GDP from 1960 until the 2000s , when it rose as high as 6.64 times GDP in 2006 , principally due to an increase in the net worth of US households in the midst of the United States housing bubble . The net worth of the United States sharply declined to 5.2 times GDP by the end of 2008 due to declines in the values of US corporate equities and real estate in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis and the global financial crisis . Between 2008 and 2009 , the net worth of US households had recovered from a low of 3.55 times GDP to 3.75 times GDP , while nonfinancial business fell from 1.37 times GDP to 1.22 times GDP . The net worth of American households and non-profits constitutes three - quarters of total United States net worth -- in 2008 , 355 % of GDP . Since 1960 , US households have consistently held this position , followed by nonfinancial business ( 137 % of GDP in 2008 ) and state and local governments ( 50 % of GDP in 2008 ) . The financial sector has hovered around zero net worth since 1960 , reflecting its leverage , while the federal government has fluctuated from a net worth of - 7 % of GDP in 1946 , a high of 6 % of GDP in 1974 , to - 32 % of GDP in 2008 .

As of the first quarter of 2010 , the Federal Reserve estimated that total public and private debt owed by American households , businesses , and government totaled $50 trillion , or roughly $175,000 per American and 3.5 times GDP . Interest payments on debt by US households , businesses , governments , and nonprofits totaled $3.29 trillion in 2008 . The financial sector paid an additional $178.6 billion in interest on deposits . In 1946 , the total US debt - to - GDP ratio was 150 % , with two - thirds of that held by the federal government . Since 1946 , the federal government 's debt - to - GDP ratio has since fallen by nearly half , to 54.8 % of GDP in 2009 . The debt - to - GDP ratio of the financial sector , by contrast , has increased from 1.35 % in 1946 to 109.5 % of GDP in 2009 . The ratio for households has risen nearly as much , from 15.84 % of GDP to 95.4 % of GDP . In April 2011 , International Monetary Fund said that , `` The US lacks a `` credibility strategy '' to stabilise its mounting public debt , posing a small but significant risk of a new global economic crisis . Financial sector ( edit ) In 1946 , the US financial sector owed $3 billion of debt , or 1.35 % of GDP . By 2009 this had increased to $15.6 trillion , or 109.5 % of GDP . Most debt owed by the US financial sector is in the form of federal government sponsored enterprise ( GSE ) issues and agency - backed securities . This refers to securities guaranteed and mediated by federal agencies and GSEs such as Ginnie Mae , Fannie Mae , and Freddie Mac , among others . This group also includes the mortgage pools that are used as collateral in collateralized mortgage obligations . The proportion of financial sector debt owed in the form of GSE and federally related mortgage pools has remained relatively constant -- $863 million or 47 % of total financial sector debt in 1946 was in such instruments ; this has increased to 57 % of financial sector debt in 2009 , although this now represents over $8 trillion . Bonds represent the next largest part of financial sector debt . In 1946 , bonds represented 6 % of financial sector debt , but by 1953 this proportion had risen to 24 % . This remained relatively constant until the late 1970s ; bonds fell to 14 % of financial sector debt in 1981 . This coincided with Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker 's strategy of combating stagflation by raising the federal funds rate ; as a result the prime rate peaked at 21.5 % , making financing through credit markets prohibitively expensive . Bonds recovered in the 1980s , representing approximately 25 % of financial sector debt throughout the 1990s ; however , between 2000 and 2009 , bonds issued by the financial sector had increased to 37 % of financial sector debt , or $5.8 trillion . Bonds and GSE / federal agency - backed issues represent all but 12 % of financial sector debt in 2009 . Households and non-profits ( edit ) In 1946 , US households and non-profits owed $35 billion of debt or 15.8 % of GDP . By 2009 this figure had risen to $13.6 trillion or 95.4 % of GDP . Home mortgage debt in 1946 represented 66.5 % of household debt ; consumer credit represented another 24 % . By 2009 , home mortgage debt had risen to 76 % of household debt and consumer credit had fallen to 18.22 % . According to the McKinsey Global Institute , the 2008 financial crisis was caused by `` unsustainable levels of household debt . '' The ratio of debt to household income rose by about one - third from 2000 to 2007 . The US currently has the twelfth highest debt to GDP ratio among advanced economies . Nonfinancial business ( edit ) In 1946 , US nonfinancial businesses owed $63.9 billion of debt or 28.8 % of GDP . By 2009 this figure had risen to $10.9 trillion or 76.4 % of GDP . State and local governments ( edit ) Public debt percent of GDP In 1946 , US state and local governments owed $12.7 billion of debt or 5.71 % of GDP . By 2009 this figure had risen to $2.4 trillion or 16.5 % of GDP . State and local governments have significant financial assets , totaling $2.7 trillion in 2009 . In 2009 , these included $1.3 trillion in credit market debt ( that is , debt owed by other sectors to state and local governments ) . These figures do not include state and local retirement funds . State and local retirement funds held $2.7 trillion in assets at the end of 2009 . Federal government ( edit ) Main article : United States public debt In 1946 , the federal government owed $251 billion of debt or 102.7 % of GDP . By 2009 this figure had risen to $7.8 trillion , but the federal government 's debt - to - GDP ratio had fallen to 54.75 % . The federal government held $1.4 trillion in assets at the end of 2009 . This is more than double the assets held by the federal government in 2007 ( $686 billion ) , mainly due to the acquisition of corporate equities , credit market debt , and cash . The federal government held $223 billion in corporate equity at the beginning of 2009 ; this had fallen to $67.4 billion at the end of that year . These figures do not include federal government retirement funds . Federal government retirement funds held $1.3 trillion in assets at the end of 2009 . These figures also do not include debt that the federal government owes to federal funds and agencies such as the Social Security Trust Fund . It also does not include `` unfunded liabilities '' to entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare either as debt or accounting liabilities . Negative real interest rates ( edit ) Since 2010 , the U.S. Treasury has been obtaining negative real interest rates on government debt . Such low rates , outpaced by the inflation rate , occur when the market believes that there are no alternatives with sufficiently low risk , or when popular institutional investments such as insurance companies , pensions , or bond , money market , and balanced mutual funds are required or choose to invest sufficiently large sums in Treasury securities to hedge against risk . Lawrence Summers , Matthew Yglesias and other economists state that at such low rates , government debt borrowing saves taxpayer money , and improves creditworthiness . In the late 1940s through the early 1970s , the US and UK both reduced their debt burden by about 30 % to 40 % of GDP per decade by taking advantage of negative real interest rates , but there is no guarantee that government debt rates will continue to stay so low . In January , 2012 , the U.S. Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association unanimously recommended that government debt be allowed to auction even lower , at negative absolute interest rates . Derivatives ( edit ) Derivative contracts outstanding ( 2010 Q1 ) in billions USD Value % GDP Notional value 216,452 1,482 % Market value Receivable Payable Interest rate 3,147 21.5 % - 3,052 - 20.9 % Foreign exchange 347 2.4 % - 345 - 2.4 % Equity 77 0.5 % - 78 - 0.5 % Commodity 41 0.3 % - 40 - 0.3 % Credit 390 2.7 % - 370 - 2.5 % Total market value 4,002 27.4 % - 3,886 - 26.6 % Credit exposure 359 2.5 % Figures of total debt typically do not include other financial obligations such as derivatives . Partly this is due to the complexities of quantifying derivatives -- the United States Comptroller of the Currency reports derivative contracts in terms of notional value , net current credit exposure , and fair value , among others . The number commonly used by the media is notional value , which is a base value used to determine the size of the cash flows exchanged in the contract . Fair value ( or market value ) is the value of the contract either on the open market or as it is appraised by accountants . Fair value can be positive or negative depending on the side of the contract the party is on . Credit exposure is defined as the net loss which holders of derivatives would suffer if their counterparties in those derivatives contracts defaulted . The notional value of derivative contracts held by US financial institutions is $216.5 trillion , or more than 15 times US GDP . The fair value of US - held derivatives contracts in the first quarter of 2010 was $4,002 billion ( 28.1 % of GDP ) for positions with positive values ( known as `` derivatives receivables '' ) , and $3,886 for positions with negative values ( 27.3 % of GDP ) . Interest rate derivatives form by far the largest part of US derivative contracts by all measures , accounting for $3,147 billion or 79 % of derivatives receivables . The measure preferred by the Office of the Comptroller is net current credit exposure ( NCCE ) , which measures the risk to banks and the financial system in derivatives contracts . The net current credit exposure ( NCCE ) of American financial institutions to derivatives in the first quarter of 2010 to $359 billion or 2.5 % of GDP , down from $800 billion at the end of 2008 in the wake of the global financial crisis , when it stood at 5.5 % of GDP . The difference between the market value of US derivatives and the credit exposure to the financial system is due to netting -- financial institutions tend to have many positions with their counterparties that have positive and negative values , resulting in a much smaller exposure than the sum of the market values of their derivative positions . Netting reduces the credit exposure of the US financial system to derivatives by more than 90 % , as compared to 50.6 % at the beginning of 1998 . Derivatives contracts are overwhelmingly held by large financial institutions . The five largest US banks hold 97 % of derivatives by notional value ; the top 25 hold nearly 100 % . Banks currently hold collateral against their derivative exposures amounting to 67 % of their net current credit exposure . Foreign debt , assets , and liabilities ( edit ) Foreign - owned US assets and US - owned foreign assets ( 2010 Q1 ) in billions USD Foreign - owned US assets US - owned foreign assets Debt 7933.9 2084.2 Equity 2774.4 4157.3 FDI 2030.9 3990.2 Other 2086.1 1283.7 Total 15625.3 11515.4 Includes corporate equity plus mutual fund shares Foreign holdings of US assets are concentrated in debt . Americans own more foreign equity and foreign direct investment than foreigners own in the United States , but foreigners hold nearly four times as much US debt as Americans hold in foreign debt . 15.2 % of all US debt is owed to foreigners . Of the $7.9 trillion Americans owe to foreigners , $3.9 trillion is owed by the federal government . 48 % of US treasury securities are held by foreigners . Foreigners hold $1.28 trillion in agency - and government sponsored enterprise - backed securities , and another $2.33 trillion in US corporate bonds . Foreigners hold 24 % of domestic corporate debt and 17 % of domestic corporate equity . Sectoral financial balances ( edit ) Main article : Sectoral financial balances Sectoral financial balances in U.S. economy 1990 - 2012 . By definition , the three balances must net to zero . Since 2009 , the U.S. capital surplus and private sector surplus have driven a government budget deficit . Economist Martin Wolf explained in July 2012 that government fiscal balance is one of three major financial sectoral balances in the U.S. economy , the others being the foreign financial sector and the private financial sector . The sum of the surpluses or deficits across these three sectors must be zero by definition . In the U.S. , a foreign financial surplus ( or capital surplus ) exists because capital is imported ( net ) to fund the trade deficit . Further , there is a private sector financial surplus due to household savings exceeding business investment . By definition , there must therefore exist a government budget deficit so all three net to zero . The government sector includes federal , state and local . For example , the government budget deficit in 2011 was approximately 10 % GDP ( 8.6 % GDP of which was federal ) , offsetting a capital surplus of 4 % GDP and a private sector surplus of 6 % GDP . Wolf argued that the sudden shift in the private sector from deficit to surplus forced the government balance into deficit , writing : `` The financial balance of the private sector shifted towards surplus by the almost unbelievable cumulative total of 11.2 per cent of gross domestic product between the third quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2009 , which was when the financial deficit of US government ( federal and state ) reached its peak ... No fiscal policy changes explain the collapse into massive fiscal deficit between 2007 and 2009 , because there was none of any importance . The collapse is explained by the massive shift of the private sector from financial deficit into surplus or , in other words , from boom to bust . '' Economist Paul Krugman also explained in December 2011 the causes of the sizable shift from private deficit to surplus : `` This huge move into surplus reflects the end of the housing bubble , a sharp rise in household saving , and a slump in business investment due to lack of customers .

The major regulatory objectives of the bank as stated in the CBN Act are to : maintain the external reserves of the country , promote monetary stability and a sound financial environment , and to act as a banker of last resort and financial adviser to the federal government . The central bank 's role as lender of last resort and adviser to the federal government has sometimes pushed it into murky regulatory waters . After the end of imperial rule the desire of the government to become pro-active in the development of the economy became visible especially after the end of the Nigerian civil war , the bank followed the government 's desire and took a determined effort to supplement any short falls in credit allocations to the real sector . The bank soon became involved in lending directly to consumers , contravening its original intention to work through commercial banks in activities involving consumer lending . However , the policy was an offspring of the indigenisation policy at the time . Nevertheless , the government through the central bank has been actively involved in building the nation 's money and equity centers , forming securities regulatory board and introducing treasury instruments into the capital market . Contents ( hide ) 1 History of the CBN 1.1 Authorizing legislation 1.2 Policy implementation and criticism 1.3 Governors 2 Under Charles Chukwuma Soludo 3 Today 4 Advance Fees Fraud ( 419 ) 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 External links History of the CBN ( edit ) Authorizing legislation ( edit ) In 1948 , an inquiry under the leadership of G.D Paton was established by the colonial administration to investigate banking practices in Nigeria . Prior to the inquiry , the banking industry was largely uncontrolled . The G.D Paton report , an offshoot of the inquiry became the cornerstone of the first banking legislation in the country : the banking ordinance of 1952 . The ordinance was designed to prevent non viable banks from mushrooming , and to ensure orderly commercial banking . The banking ordinance triggered a rapid growth in the industry , with growth also came disappointment . By 1958 , a few number of banks had failed . To curtail further failures and to prepare for indigenous control , in 1958 , a bill for the establishment of Central Bank of Nigeria was presented to the House of Representatives of Nigeria . The Act was fully implemented on July 1 , 1959 , when the Central Bank of Nigeria came into full operation . In April 1960 , the Bank issued its first treasury bills . In May 1961 the Bank launched the Lagos Bankers Clearing House , which provided licensed banks a framework in which to exchange and clear checks rapidly . By July 1 , 1961 the Bank had completed issuing all denominations of new Nigerian notes and coins and redeemed all of the West African Currency Board 's previous money . Policy implementation and criticism ( edit ) The CBN 's early functions were mainly to act as the government 's agency for the control and supervision of the banking sector , to monitor the balance of payments according to the demands of the federal government and to tailor monetary policy along the demands of the federal budget . The central bank 's initial lack of financial competence over the finance ministry led to deferment of major economic decisions to the finance ministry . A key instrument of the bank was to initiate credit limit legislation for bank lending . The initiative was geared to make credit available to neglected national areas such as agriculture and manufacturing . By the end of 1979 , most of the banks did not adhere to their credit limits and favored a loose interpretation of CBN 's guidelines . The central bank did not effectively curtail the prevalence of short term loan maturities . Most loans given out by commercial banks were usually set within a year . The major policy to balance this distortion in the credit market was to create a new Bank of Commerce and industry , a universal bank . However , the new bank did not fulfill its mission . Another policy of the bank in concert with the intentions of the government was direct involvement in the affairs of the three major expatriate commercial banks in order to forestall any bias against indigenous borrowers and consumers . By 1976 , the federal government had acquired 40 % of equity in the three largest commercial banks . The bank 's slow reaction to curtail inflation by financing huge deficits of the federal government has been one of the sore points in the history of the central bank . Coupled with its failure to control the burgeoning trade arrears in 1983 , the country was left with huge trade debts totaling $6 billion . Governors ( edit ) Governors of the Central Bank since independence : Governor Previous position Term start Term end Roy Pentelow Fenton 24 July 1958 24 July 1963 Aliyu Mai - Bornu Deputy Governor , CBN 25 July 1963 22 June 1967 Clement Nyong Isong Advisor International Monetary Fund 15 August 1967 22 September 1975 Adamu Ciroma 24 September 1975 28 June 1977 Ola Vincent Deputy Governor , CBN 28 June 1977 28 June 1982 Abdulkadir Ahmed Deputy Governor , CBN 28 June 1982 30 September 1993 Paul Agbai Ogwuma CEO , Union Bank of Nigeria 1 October 1993 29 May 1999 Joseph Oladele Sanusi CEO First Bank of Nigeria 29 May 1999 29 May 2004 Charles Chukwuma Soludo Chief Executive , National Planning Commission 29 May 2004 29 May 2009 Sanusi Lamido Aminu Sanusi CEO , First Bank of Nigeria 3 June 2009 20 February 2014 Sarah Alade Deputy Governor , Central Bank of Nigeria 20 February 2014 3 June 2014 Godwin Emefiele Chief Executive Officer , Zenith Bank 3 June 2014 to date Under charles chukwuma soludo ( edit ) The central bank was instrumental in the growth and financial credibility of Nigerian commercial banks by making sure that all the financial banks operating in the country had a capital base ( required reserves ) . This helped to make sure that bank customers just did not bear losses alone , in the event of bank failures . However , this policy led to the failure of some Nigerian commercial banks ; some banks could not meet up with the new capital base requirements , which was 25,000,000,000.00 Naira at the time . Those banks that could not meet the new capital base requirements had to fold up , while some that could not come up with the money on their own , had to merge with other banks in order to raise the money . This policy helped solidify the commercial banks of Nigeria , and made it impossible for individuals or organizations without financial stability to operate a bank in the country . Today Nigeria has one of the most advanced financial sectors in Africa , with most of its commercial banks having branches in other countries . The Central Bank is active in promoting financial inclusion policy and is a leading member of the Alliance for Financial Inclusion . It is also one of the original 17 regulatory institutions to make specific national commitments to financial inclusion under the Maya Declaration during the 2011 Global Policy Forum held in Mexico . The CBN has ensured all Banks in Nigeria to have a uniform year end . The various commercial bank includes Access Bank Plc , Citibank Nigeria Plc , Diamond Bank Plc , First Bank of Nigeria Plc , Guaranty Trust Bank Plc , Zenith Bank plc , Wema Bank , StanbicIbtc Bank , Fidelity Bank , United Bank for Africa etc . Today ( edit ) Mr. Godwin Emefiele , the former Zenith Bank Plc Chief Executive assumed the mantle as the 11th CBN chief as well as its 10th indigenous governor . Emefiele , who replaced Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi , whose tenure elapsed on June 1 brings to the job over 20 years of banking experience . He has held several strategic positions in his 18 years in the banking industry . Before becoming the Managing Director of Zenith Bank Plc , he had worked in corporate banking , treasury and financial controls . Before that , he was a lecturer in Finance and Insurance at the University of Port Harcourt , as well as his alma mater , University of Nigeria , Nsukka , where he obtained both BSc and MBA degrees in Finance . He is also an alumnus of Executive Education at Stanford University , Harvard University and Wharton Graduate Schools of Business . Emefiele in his maiden press briefing two days after his resumption of office gave a presentation titled `` ENTRENCHING MACROECONOMIC STABILITY AND ENGENDERING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA '' . He acknowledged the excellent work that the Bank had done to achieve financial system stability , low inflation , exchange rate stability , an efficient payment system , and a consistent monetary policy in the last couple of years . He maintained that the vision of the Central Bank of Nigeria is to create a people - centered Central Bank by `` delivering price and financial system stability and promoting sustainable economic development '' . Advance fees fraud ( 419 ) ( edit ) See also : Advance - fee scam The name of the Central Bank of Nigeria has been used in a series of so - called ' Nigerian 419 Scams ' . The fraudster sends an e-mail that appears to come from a Central Bank employee to millions of people saying the Bank has found an excess of money , or a debt owing to , a person or persons who have since died , and they wish to export it . The victim submits his own bank account so that the money may be placed therein , however this information is only used to add credibility to the scam , in order to lure the victim in further . Bank details and other personal information is used to create fake certificate or document that are allegedly from the Bank . Contrary to popular belief , the victim 's bank account can not be emptied in this fashion . And , if money was taken from an account , it could be reimbursed as it can be traced Instead , the fraudster will ask the victim to send money via wire transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram . A wire transfer sent abroad is untraceable and not reversible . The bank is in no way associated with such scams .

Contents 1 Background 2 Content 3 Cover versions 4 References Background ( edit ) `` Mind Your Own Business '' was recorded on March 2 , 1949 , at Castle Studio in Nashville . During the same session , Williams also recorded `` You 're Gonna Change ( Or I 'm Gonna Leave ) '' , `` My Son Calls Another Man Daddy '' , and `` Honky Tonk Blues '' . He is backed by Dale Potter ( fiddle ) , Don Davis ( steel guitar ) , Zeke Turner ( lead guitar ) , Clyde Baum ( mandolin ) , Jack Shook ( rhythm guitar ) , and probably Ernie Newton ( bass ) . Content ( edit ) In the song , the narrator admonishes a local busybody for snooping and gossiping . While the delivery is light and breezy , the song 's lyrics were likely inspired by the singer 's own tempestuous relationship with wife Audrey Williams and the buzz it created . The opening lines seem to reference this : `` If the wife and I are fussin ' , brother that 's our right / ' Cause me and that sweet woman 's got a licence to fight ... '' His delivery is measured , laconic , and dry . The day before , Hank had cut several duets with his wife Audrey , who by all accounts had limited singing talent . Introducing it in October 1949 , he told his radio audience that it was a `` little prophecy in song '' , and indeed it would prove to be . The song is similar in tone and structure to Williams ' first Billboard hit `` Move It on Over '' , with the singer couching his moral indignation in humor , allowing the subject matter to resonate with the public . `` Mind Your Own Business '' went to # 6 on the C&W Best Seller list where it stayed for two weeks . Cover versions ( edit ) In 1964 , Jimmy Dean hit the country charts with his version of the song . His version spent six weeks on the charts and peaked at # 35 . Ernest Tubb included it on his 1968 LP Ernest Tubb Sings Hank Williams . In 1971 , Steve Goodman recorded it on his debut album . In 1975 , Henry McCullough recorded the song , and used it as the title track of his solo album on Dark Horse Records . Moe Bandy recorded it for his 1975 LP Here I Am Drunk Again . Charley Pride recorded it for his 1980 album There 's a Little Bit of Hank in Me . Moe Bandy recorded the song for his 1983 tribute Sings the Songs of Hank Williams . In late 1986 , Hank Williams , Jr. recorded the song along with Reba McEntire , Tom Petty , Reverend Ike , and Willie Nelson . This version was the most successful , going to # 1 on the country chart for two weeks . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Escott , Colin & 2004 332 . ^ Jump up to : Escott , Colin & 2004 106 .

5046952342185109585 | Red blood cell | Red blood cell - wikipedia Red blood cell Red blood cell Scanning electron micrograph of human red blood cells ( ca . 6 -- 8 μm in diameter ) Details Function Oxygen transport Identifiers Acronym ( s ) RBC MeSH D004912 Anatomical terms of microanatomy ( edit on Wikidata ) Red blood cells -- also known as RBCs , red cells , red blood corpuscles , haematids , erythroid cells or erythrocytes ( from Greek erythros for `` red '' and kytos for `` hollow vessel '' , with - cyte translated as `` cell '' in modern usage ) , are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate 's principal means of delivering oxygen ( O ) to the body tissues -- via blood flow through the circulatory system . RBCs take up oxygen in the lungs , or gills of fish , and release it into tissues while squeezing through the body 's capillaries . The cytoplasm of erythrocytes is rich in hemoglobin , an iron - containing biomolecule that can bind oxygen and is responsible for the red color of the cells . The cell membrane is composed of proteins and lipids , and this structure provides properties essential for physiological cell function such as deformability and stability while traversing the circulatory system and specifically the capillary network . In humans , mature red blood cells are flexible and oval biconcave disks . They lack a cell nucleus and most organelles , in order to accommodate maximum space for hemoglobin ; they can be viewed as sacks of hemoglobin , with a plasma membrane as the sack . Approximately 2.4 million new erythrocytes are produced per second in human adults . The cells develop in the bone marrow and circulate for about 100 -- 120 days in the body before their components are recycled by macrophages . Each circulation takes about 60 seconds ( one minute ) . Approximately a quarter of the cells in the human body are red blood cells . Nearly half of the blood 's volume ( 40 % to 45 % ) is red blood cells . Packed red blood cells ( pRBC ) are red blood cells that have been donated , processed , and stored in a blood bank for blood transfusion .

Mammalian red blood cells , which do not contain nuclei , are considerably smaller than those of most other vertebrates . Mature red blood cells of birds have a nucleus , however in the blood of adult females of penguin Pygoscelis papua enucleated red blood cells ( B ) have been observed , but with very low frequency . Almost all vertebrates , including all mammals and humans , have red blood cells . Red blood cells are cells present in blood in order to transport oxygen . The only known vertebrates without red blood cells are the crocodile icefish ( family Channichthyidae ) ; they live in very oxygen - rich cold water and transport oxygen freely dissolved in their blood . While they no longer use hemoglobin , remnants of hemoglobin genes can be found in their genome . Vertebrate red blood cells consist mainly of hemoglobin , a complex metalloprotein containing heme groups whose iron atoms temporarily bind to oxygen molecules ( O ) in the lungs or gills and release them throughout the body . Oxygen can easily diffuse through the red blood cell 's cell membrane . Hemoglobin in the red blood cells also carries some of the waste product carbon dioxide back from the tissues ; most waste carbon dioxide , however , is transported back to the pulmonary capillaries of the lungs as bicarbonate ( HCO ) dissolved in the blood plasma . Myoglobin , a compound related to hemoglobin , acts to store oxygen in muscle cells . The color of red blood cells is due to the heme group of hemoglobin . The blood plasma alone is straw - colored , but the red blood cells change color depending on the state of the hemoglobin : when combined with oxygen the resulting oxyhemoglobin is scarlet , and when oxygen has been released the resulting deoxyhemoglobin is of a dark red burgundy color . However , blood can appear bluish when seen through the vessel wall and skin . Pulse oximetry takes advantage of the hemoglobin color change to directly measure the arterial blood oxygen saturation using colorimetric techniques . Hemoglobin also has a very high affinity for carbon monoxide , forming carboxyhemoglobin which is a very bright red in color . Flushed , confused patients with a saturation reading of 100 % on pulse oximetry are sometimes found to be suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning . Having oxygen - carrying proteins inside specialized cells ( as opposed to oxygen carriers being dissolved in body fluid ) was an important step in the evolution of vertebrates as it allows for less viscous blood , higher concentrations of oxygen , and better diffusion of oxygen from the blood to the tissues . The size of red blood cells varies widely among vertebrate species ; red blood cell width is on average about 25 % larger than capillary diameter , and it has been hypothesized that this improves the oxygen transfer from red blood cells to tissues . Mammals Typical mammalian red blood cells : ( a ) seen from surface ; ( b ) in profile , forming rouleaux ; ( c ) rendered spherical by water ; ( d ) rendered crenate ( shrunken and spiky ) by salt . ( c ) and ( d ) do not normally occur in the body . The last two shapes are due to water being transported into , and out of , the cells , by osmosis . The red blood cells of mammal s are typically shaped as biconcave disks : flattened and depressed in the center , with a dumbbell - shaped cross section , and a torus - shaped rim on the edge of the disk . This distinctive biconcave shape optimises the flow properties of blood in the large vessels , such as maximization of laminar flow and minimization of platelet scatter , which suppresses their atherogenic activity in those large vessels . Moreover , this shape allows for a high surface - area - to - volume ( SA / V ) ratio to facilitate diffusion of gases . However , there are some exceptions concerning shape in the artiodactyl order ( even - toed ungulates including cattle , deer , and their relatives ) , which displays a wide variety of bizarre red blood cell morphologies : small and highly ovaloid cells in llamas and camels ( family Camelidae ) , tiny spherical cells in mouse deer ( family Tragulidae ) , and cells which assume fusiform , lanceolate , crescentic , and irregularly polygonal and other angular forms in red deer and wapiti ( family Cervidae ) . Members of this order have clearly evolved a mode of red blood cell development substantially different from the mammalian norm . Overall , mammalian red blood cells are remarkably flexible and deformable so as to squeeze through tiny capillaries , as well as to maximize their apposing surface by assuming a cigar shape , where they efficiently release their oxygen load . Red blood cells in mammals are unique amongst vertebrates as they do not have nuclei when mature . Red blood cells of mammals cells have nuclei during early phases of erythropoiesis , but extrude them during development as they mature in order to provide more space for hemoglobin . The red blood cells without nuclei , called reticulocytes , go on to lose all other cellular organelles such as their mitochondria , Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum . The spleen acts as a reservoir of red blood cells , but this effect is somewhat limited in humans . In some other mammals such as dogs and horses , the spleen sequesters large numbers of red blood cells which are dumped into the blood during times of exertion stress , yielding a higher oxygen transport capacity . Scanning electron micrograph of blood cells . From left to right : human red blood cell , thrombocyte ( platelet ) , leukocyte . Human Two drops of blood are shown with a bright red oxygenated drop on the left and a deoxygenated drop on the right . Animation of a typical human red blood cell cycle in the circulatory system . This animation occurs at a faster rate ( ~ 20 seconds of the average 60 - second cycle ) and shows the red blood cell deforming as it enters capillaries , as well as the bars changing color as the cell alternates in states of oxygenation along the circulatory system . A typical human red blood cell has a disk diameter of approximately 6.2 -- 8.2 μm and a thickness at the thickest point of 2 -- 2.5 μm and a minimum thickness in the centre of 0.8 -- 1 μm , being much smaller than most other human cells . These cells have an average volume of about 90 fL with a surface of about 136 μm , and can swell up to a sphere shape containing 150 fL , without membrane distension . Adult humans have roughly 20 -- 30 trillion red blood cells at any given time , constituting approximately 70 % of all cells by number . Women have about 4 -- 5 million red blood cells per microliter ( cubic millimeter ) of blood and men about 5 -- 6 million ; people living at high altitudes with low oxygen tension will have more . Red blood cells are thus much more common than the other blood particles : there are about 4,000 -- 11,000 white blood cells and about 150,000 -- 400,000 platelets per microliter . Human red blood cells take on average 60 seconds to complete one cycle of circulation . The blood 's red color is due to the spectral properties of the hemic iron ions in hemoglobin . Each human red blood cell contains approximately 270 million of these hemoglobin molecules . Each hemoglobin molecule carries four heme groups ; hemoglobin constitutes about a third of the total cell volume . Hemoglobin is responsible for the transport of more than 98 % of the oxygen in the body ( the remaining oxygen is carried dissolved in the blood plasma ) . The red blood cells of an average adult human male store collectively about 2.5 grams of iron , representing about 65 % of the total iron contained in the body . Microstructure Nucleus Red blood cells in mammals anucleate when mature , meaning that they lack a cell nucleus . In comparison , the red blood cells of other vertebrates have nuclei ; the only known exceptions are salamanders of the genus Batrachoseps and fish of the genus Maurolicus . The elimination of the nucleus in vertebrate red blood cells has been offered as an explanation for the subsequent accumulation of non-coding DNA in the genome . The argument runs as follows : Efficient gas transport requires red blood cells to pass through very narrow capillaries , and this constrains their size . In the absence of nuclear elimination , the accumulation of repeat sequences is constrained by the volume occupied by the nucleus , which increases with genome size . Nucleated red blood cells in mammals consist of two forms : normoblasts , which are normal erythropoietic precursors to mature red blood cells , and megaloblasts , which are abnormally large precursors that occur in megaloblastic anemias . Membrane composition Red blood cells are deformable , flexible , are able to adhere to other cells , and are able to interface with immune cells . Their membrane plays many roles in this . These functions are highly dependent on the membrane composition . The red blood cell membrane is composed of 3 layers : the glycocalyx on the exterior , which is rich in carbohydrates ; the lipid bilayer which contains many transmembrane proteins , besides its lipidic main constituents ; and the membrane skeleton , a structural network of proteins located on the inner surface of the lipid bilayer . Half of the membrane mass in human and most mammalian red blood cells are proteins . The other half are lipids , namely phospholipids and cholesterol . Membrane lipids The most common red blood cell cell membrane lipids , schematically disposed as they are distributed on the bilayer . Relative abundances are not at scale . The red blood cell cell membrane comprises a typical lipid bilayer , similar to what can be found in virtually all human cells . Simply put , this lipid bilayer is composed of cholesterol and phospholipids in equal proportions by weight . The lipid composition is important as it defines many physical properties such as membrane permeability and fluidity . Additionally , the activity of many membrane proteins is regulated by interactions with lipids in the bilayer . Unlike cholesterol , which is evenly distributed between the inner and outer leaflets , the 5 major phospholipids are asymmetrically disposed , as shown below : Outer monolayer Phosphatidylcholine ( PC ) ; Sphingomyelin ( SM ) . Inner monolayer Phosphatidylethanolamine ( PE ) ; Phosphoinositol ( PI ) ( small amounts ) . Phosphatidylserine ( PS ) ; This asymmetric phospholipid distribution among the bilayer is the result of the function of several energy - dependent and energy - independent phospholipid transport proteins . Proteins called `` Flippases '' move phospholipids from the outer to the inner monolayer , while others called `` floppases '' do the opposite operation , against a concentration gradient in an energy dependent manner . Additionally , there are also `` scramblase '' proteins that move phospholipids in both directions at the same time , down their concentration gradients in an energy independent manner . There is still considerable debate ongoing regarding the identity of these membrane maintenance proteins in the red cell membrane . The maintenance of an asymmetric phospholipid distribution in the bilayer ( such as an exclusive localization of PS and PIs in the inner monolayer ) is critical for the cell integrity and function due to several reasons : Macrophages recognize and phagocytose red cells that expose PS at their outer surface . Thus the confinement of PS in the inner monolayer is essential if the cell is to survive its frequent encounters with macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system , especially in the spleen . Premature destruction of thallassemic and sickle red cells has been linked to disruptions of lipid asymmetry leading to exposure of PS on the outer monolayer . An exposure of PS can potentiate adhesion of red cells to vascular endothelial cells , effectively preventing normal transit through the microvasculature . Thus it is important that PS is maintained only in the inner leaflet of the bilayer to ensure normal blood flow in microcirculation . Both PS and phosphatidylinositol - 4 , 5 - bisphosphate ( PIP2 ) can regulate membrane mechanical function , due to their interactions with skeletal proteins such as spectrin and protein 4.1 R. Recent studies have shown that binding of spectrin to PS promotes membrane mechanical stability . PIP2 enhances the binding of protein band 4.1 R to glycophorin C but decreases its interaction with protein band 3 , and thereby may modulate the linkage of the bilayer to the membrane skeleton . The presence of specialized structures named `` lipid rafts '' in the red blood cell membrane have been described by recent studies . These are structures enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids associated with specific membrane proteins , namely flotillins , stomatins ( band 7 ) , G - proteins , and β - adrenergic receptors . Lipid rafts that have been implicated in cell signaling events in nonerythroid cells have been shown in erythroid cells to mediate β2 - adregenic receptor signaling and increase cAMP levels , and thus regulating entry of malarial parasites into normal red cells . Membrane proteins Red blood cell membrane proteins separated by SDS - PAGE and silverstained The proteins of the membrane skeleton are responsible for the deformability , flexibility and durability of the red blood cell , enabling it to squeeze through capillaries less than half the diameter of the red blood cell ( 7 -- 8 μm ) and recovering the discoid shape as soon as these cells stop receiving compressive forces , in a similar fashion to an object made of rubber . There are currently more than 50 known membrane proteins , which can exist in a few hundred up to a million copies per red blood cell . Approximately 25 of these membrane proteins carry the various blood group antigens , such as the A , B and Rh antigens , among many others . These membrane proteins can perform a wide diversity of functions , such as transporting ions and molecules across the red cell membrane , adhesion and interaction with other cells such as endothelial cells , as signaling receptors , as well as other currently unknown functions . The blood types of humans are due to variations in surface glycoproteins of red blood cells . Disorders of the proteins in these membranes are associated with many disorders , such as hereditary spherocytosis , hereditary elliptocytosis , hereditary stomatocytosis , and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria . The red blood cell membrane proteins organized according to their function : Red blood cell membrane major proteins Transport Band 3 -- Anion transporter , also an important structural component of the red blood cell cell membrane , makes up to 25 % of the cell membrane surface , each red cell contains approximately one million copies . Defines the Diego Blood Group ; Aquaporin 1 -- water transporter , defines the Colton Blood Group ; Glut1 -- glucose and L - dehydroascorbic acid transporter ; Kidd antigen protein -- urea transporter ; RhAG -- gas transporter , probably of carbon dioxide , defines Rh Blood Group and the associated unusual blood group phenotype Rh ; Na / K -- ATPase ; Ca -- ATPase ; Na K 2Cl -- cotransporter ; Na - Cl -- cotransporter ; Na - H exchanger ; K - Cl -- cotransporter ; Gardos Channel . Cell adhesion ICAM - 4 -- interacts with integrins ; BCAM -- a glycoprotein that defines the Lutheran blood group and also known as Lu or laminin - binding protein . Structural role -- The following membrane proteins establish linkages with skeletal proteins and may play an important role in regulating cohesion between the lipid bilayer and membrane skeleton , likely enabling the red cell to maintain its favorable membrane surface area by preventing the membrane from collapsing ( vesiculating ) . Ankyrin - based macromolecular complex -- proteins linking the bilayer to the membrane skeleton through the interaction of their cytoplasmic domains with Ankyrin . Band 3 -- also assembles various glycolytic enzymes , the presumptive CO transporter , and carbonic anhydrase into a macromolecular complex termed a `` metabolon , '' which may play a key role in regulating red cell metabolism and ion and gas transport function ) ; RhAG -- also involved in transport , defines associated unusual blood group phenotype Rh . Protein 4.1 R - based macromolecular complex -- proteins interacting with Protein 4.1 R . Protein 4.1 R -- weak expression of Gerbich antigens ; Glycophorin C and D -- glycoprotein , defines Gerbich Blood Group ; XK -- defines the Kell Blood Group and the Mcleod unusual phenotype ( lack of Kx antigen and greatly reduced expression of Kell antigens ) ; RhD / RhCE -- defines Rh Blood Group and the associated unusual blood group phenotype Rh ; Duffy protein -- has been proposed to be associated with chemokine clearance ; Adducin -- interaction with band 3 ; Dematin - interaction with the Glut1 glucose transporter . Surface electrostatic potential The zeta potential is an electrochemical property of cell surfaces that is determined by the net electrical charge of molecules exposed at the surface of cell membranes of the cell . The normal zeta potential of the red blood cell is − 15.7 milli volts ( mV ) . Much of this potential appears to be contributed by the exposed sialic acid residues in the membrane : their removal results in zeta potential of − 6.06 mV . Function Secondary functions When red blood cells undergo shear stress in constricted vessels , they release ATP , which causes the vessel walls to relax and dilate so as to promote normal blood flow . When their hemoglobin molecules are deoxygenated , red blood cells release S - nitrosothiols , which also act to dilate blood vessels , thus directing more blood to areas of the body depleted of oxygen . Red blood cells can also synthesize nitric oxide enzymatically , using L - arginine as substrate , as do endothelial cells . Exposure of red blood cells to physiological levels of shear stress activates nitric oxide synthase and export of nitric oxide , which may contribute to the regulation of vascular tonus . Red blood cells can also produce hydrogen sulfide , a signalling gas that acts to relax vessel walls . It is believed that the cardioprotective effects of garlic are due to red blood cells converting its sulfur compounds into hydrogen sulfide . Red blood cells also play a part in the body 's immune response : when lysed by pathogens such as bacteria , their hemoglobin releases free radicals , which break down the pathogen 's cell wall and membrane , killing it . Cellular processes As a result of not containing mitochondria , red blood cells use none of the oxygen they transport ; instead they produce the energy carrier ATP by the glycolysis of glucose and lactic acid fermentation on the resulting pyruvate . Furthermore , the pentose phosphate pathway plays an important role in red blood cells ; see glucose - 6 - phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency for more . As red blood cells contain no nucleus , protein biosynthesis is currently assumed to be absent in these cells . Because of the lack of nuclei and organelles , mature red blood cells do not contain DNA and can not synthesize any RNA , and consequently can not divide and have limited repair capabilities . The inability to carry out protein synthesis means that no virus can evolve to target mammalian red blood cells . However , infection with parvoviruses ( such as human parvovirus B19 ) can affect erythroid precursors , as recognized by the presence of giant pronormoblasts with viral particles and inclusion bodies , thus temporarily depleting the blood of reticulocytes and causing anemia . Life cycle Human red blood cells are produced through a process named erythropoiesis , developing from committed stem cells to mature red blood cells in about 7 days . When matured , in a healthy individual these cells live in blood circulation for about 100 to 120 days ( and 80 to 90 days in a full term infant ) . At the end of their lifespan , they are removed from circulation . In many chronic diseases , the lifespan of the red blood cells is reduced . Creation Erythropoiesis is the process by which new red blood cells are produced ; it lasts about 7 days . Through this process red blood cells are continuously produced in the red bone marrow of large bones . ( In the embryo , the liver is the main site of red blood cell production . ) The production can be stimulated by the hormone erythropoietin ( EPO ) , synthesised by the kidney . Just before and after leaving the bone marrow , the developing cells are known as reticulocytes ; these constitute about 1 % of circulating red blood cells . Functional lifetime The functional lifetime of an red blood cell is about 100 -- 120 days , during which time the red blood cells are continually moved by the blood flow push ( in arteries ) , pull ( in veins ) and a combination of the two as they squeeze through microvessels such as capillaries . They are also recycled in the bone marrow . Senescence The aging red blood cell undergoes changes in its plasma membrane , making it susceptible to selective recognition by macrophages and subsequent phagocytosis in the mononuclear phagocyte system ( spleen , liver and lymph nodes ) , thus removing old and defective cells and continually purging the blood . This process is termed eryptosis , red blood cell programmed cell death . This process normally occurs at the same rate of production by erythropoiesis , balancing the total circulating red blood cell count . Eryptosis is increased in a wide variety of diseases including sepsis , haemolytic uremic syndrome , malaria , sickle cell anemia , beta - thalassemia , glucose - 6 - phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency , phosphate depletion , iron deficiency and Wilson 's disease . Eryptosis can be elicited by osmotic shock , oxidative stress , energy depletion as well as a wide variety of endogenous mediators and xenobiotics . Excessive eryptosis is observed in red blood cells lacking the cGMP - dependent protein kinase type I or the AMP - activated protein kinase AMPK . Inhibitors of eryptosis include erythropoietin , nitric oxide , catecholamines and high concentrations of urea . Much of the resulting breakdown products are recirculated in the body . The heme constituent of hemoglobin are broken down into iron ( Fe ) and biliverdin . The biliverdin is reduced to bilirubin , which is released into the plasma and recirculated to the liver bound to albumin . The iron is released into the plasma to be recirculated by a carrier protein called transferrin . Almost all red blood cells are removed in this manner from the circulation before they are old enough to hemolyze . Hemolyzed hemoglobin is bound to a protein in plasma called haptoglobin , which is not excreted by the kidney . Clinical significance Disease Affected by Sickle - cell disease , red blood cells alter shape and threaten to damage internal organs . Blood diseases involving the red blood cells include : Anemias ( or anaemias ) are diseases characterized by low oxygen transport capacity of the blood , because of low red cell count or some abnormality of the red blood cells or the hemoglobin . Iron deficiency anemia is the most common anemia ; it occurs when the dietary intake or absorption of iron is insufficient , and hemoglobin , which contains iron , can not be formed Sickle - cell disease is a genetic disease that results in abnormal hemoglobin molecules . When these release their oxygen load in the tissues , they become insoluble , leading to mis - shaped red blood cells . These sickle shaped red cells are less deformable and viscoelastic meaning that they have become rigid and can cause blood vessel blockage , pain , strokes , and other tissue damage . Thalassemia is a genetic disease that results in the production of an abnormal ratio of hemoglobin subunits . Hereditary spherocytosis syndromes are a group of inherited disorders characterized by defects in the red blood cell 's cell membrane , causing the cells to be small , sphere - shaped , and fragile instead of donut - shaped and flexible . These abnormal red blood cells are destroyed by the spleen . Several other hereditary disorders of the red blood cell membrane are known . Pernicious anemia is an autoimmune disease wherein the body lacks intrinsic factor , required to absorb vitamin B from food . Vitamin B is needed for the production of hemoglobin . Aplastic anemia is caused by the inability of the bone marrow to produce blood cells . Pure red cell aplasia is caused by the inability of the bone marrow to produce only red blood cells . Effect of osmotic pressure on blood cells Micrographs of the effects of osmotic pressure Hemolysis is the general term for excessive breakdown of red blood cells . It can have several causes and can result in hemolytic anemia . The malaria parasite spends part of its life - cycle in red blood cells , feeds on their hemoglobin and then breaks them apart , causing fever . Both sickle - cell disease and thalassemia are more common in malaria areas , because these mutations convey some protection against the parasite . Polycythemias ( or erythrocytoses ) are diseases characterized by a surplus of red blood cells . The increased viscosity of the blood can cause a number of symptoms . In polycythemia vera the increased number of red blood cells results from an abnormality in the bone marrow . Several microangiopathic diseases , including disseminated intravascular coagulation and thrombotic microangiopathies , present with pathognomonic ( diagnostic ) red blood cell fragments called schistocytes . These pathologies generate fibrin strands that sever red blood cells as they try to move past a thrombus . Transfusion Main article : Blood transfusion Red blood cells may be given as part of a blood transfusion . Blood may be donated from another person , or stored by the recipient at an earlier date . Donated blood usually requires screening to ensure that donors do not contain risk factors for the presence of blood - borne diseases , or will not suffer themselves by giving blood . Blood is usually collected and tested for common or serious Blood - borne diseases including Hepatitis B , Hepatitis C and HIV . The blood type ( A , B , AB , or O ) or the blood product is identified . This relates to the presence of antigens on the cell 's surface . After this process , the blood is stored , and within a short duration is used . Blood can be given as a whole product or the red blood cells separated as packed red blood cells . Blood is often transfused when there is known anaemia , active bleeding , or when there is an expectation of serious blood loss , such as prior to an operation . Before blood is given , a small sample of the recipient 's blood is tested with the transfusion in a process known as cross-matching . In addition to the transmission of infection , certain types of transfusion reaction . In 2008 it was reported that human embryonic stem cells had been successfully coaxed into becoming red blood cells in the lab . The difficult step was to induce the cells to eject their nucleus ; this was achieved by growing the cells on stromal cells from the bone marrow . It is hoped that these artificial red blood cells can eventually be used for blood transfusions . Tests Several blood tests involve red blood cells . These include a RBC count ( the number of red blood cells per volume of blood ) , calculation of the hematocrit ( percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells ) , and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate . The blood type needs to be determined to prepare for a blood transfusion or an organ transplantation . Many diseases involving red blood cells are diagnosed with a blood film ( or peripheral blood smear ) , where a thin layer of blood is smeared on a microscope slide . This may reveal abnormalities of red blood cell shape and form . When red blood cells sometimes occur as a stack , flat side next to flat side . This is known as rouleaux formation , and it occurs more often if the levels of certain serum proteins are elevated , as for instance during inflammation . Separation and blood doping Red blood cells can be obtained from whole blood by centrifugation , which separates the cells from the blood plasma in a process known as blood fractionation . Packed red blood cells , which are made in this way from whole blood with the plasma removed , are used in transfusion medicine . During plasma donation , the red blood cells are pumped back into the body right away and only the plasma is collected . Some athletes have tried to improve their performance by blood doping : first about 1 litre of their blood is extracted , then the red blood cells are isolated , frozen and stored , to be reinjected shortly before the competition . ( Red blood cells can be conserved for 5 weeks at − 79 ° C or − 110 ° F ) This practice is hard to detect but may endanger the human cardiovascular system which is not equipped to deal with blood of the resulting higher viscosity . Another method of blood doping involves injection with erythropoietin in order to stimulate production of red blood cells . Both practices are banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency . History The first person to describe red blood cells was the young Dutch biologist Jan Swammerdam , who had used an early microscope in 1658 to study the blood of a frog . Unaware of this work , Anton van Leeuwenhoek provided another microscopic description in 1674 , this time providing a more precise description of red blood cells , even approximating their size , `` 25,000 times smaller than a fine grain of sand '' . In 1901 , Karl Landsteiner published his discovery of the three main blood groups -- A , B , and C ( which he later renamed to O ) . Landsteiner described the regular patterns in which reactions occurred when serum was mixed with red blood cells , thus identifying compatible and conflicting combinations between these blood groups . A year later Alfred von Decastello and Adriano Sturli , two colleagues of Landsteiner , identified a fourth blood group -- AB . In 1959 , by use of X-ray crystallography , Dr. Max Perutz was able to unravel the structure of hemoglobin , the red blood cell protein that carries oxygen . The oldest intact red blood cells ever discovered were found in Ötzi the Iceman , a natural mummy of a man who died around 3255 BCE . These cells were discovered in May 2012 .

"In humans, mature red blood cells are flexible and oval biconcave disks. They lack a cell nucleus and most organelles, in order to accommodate maximum space for hemoglobin; they can be viewed as sacks of hemoglobin, with a plasma membrane as the sack. Approximately 2.4 million new erythrocytes are produced per second in human adults.[3] The cells develop in the bone marrow and circulate for about 100–120 days in the body before their components are recycled by macrophages. Each circulation takes about 60 seconds (one minute).[4] Approximately a quarter of the cells in the human body are red blood cells.[5][6] Nearly half of the blood's volume (40% to 45%) is red blood cells."

In Concert ! tour in Manchester , June 2011 First appearance `` Pilot '' Last appearance `` Sweet Dreams '' ( physically ) `` 2009 '' ( archive footage ) Created by Ryan Murphy Brad Falchuk Ian Brennan Portrayed by Cory Monteith Information Occupation Mechanic student Glee Club Director Family Christopher Hudson ( father , deceased ) Carole Hudson ( mother ) Burt Hummel ( stepfather ) Kurt Hummel ( stepbrother ) Significant other ( s ) Rachel Berry ( ex-fiancée ) Quinn Fabray Santana Lopez Status Deceased Finn Hudson is a fictional character from the Fox musical comedy - drama series Glee . The character was portrayed by Cory Monteith and first appeared on television when Glee initially premiered its pilot episode on Fox on May 19 , 2009 . Finn was developed by Glee creators Ryan Murphy , Brad Falchuk , and Ian Brennan . Glee follows the trials of the New Directions glee club at the fictional William McKinley High School in the town of Lima , Ohio . Finn is initially the quarterback of his high school football team . A popular jock at the top of the school 's social hierarchy , when he finds himself forced to join the school 's glee club , he discovers that he loves it , although he risks alienation from his friends by remaining a member . His storylines see him struggle with his decision to stay in the club , which is at the bottom of the social ladder , while he maintains his popular reputation and the respect of the other jocks . The character has dealt with his attraction to both head cheerleader Quinn Fabray ( Dianna Agron ) and glee club star singer Rachel Berry ( Lea Michele ) , the series ' female lead . Following Monteith 's death on July 13 , 2013 , it was announced that Finn 's own death would occur in the third episode of the fifth season , titled `` The Quarterback '' . Monteith felt that Finn has had to grow up a lot during his time on the show . The actor said , `` Finn started off as the stereotypical dumb jock but as the show has gone on , Finn 's not dumb anymore , really , he 's just a little naïve . '' Early reviews of Finn from television critics were mixed ; Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club said that he and Michele were `` both agreeable and a little desperate for an outlet '' in the pilot episode . Commenting on the fifth episode of the first season , Eric Goldman of IGN wrote , `` We got to see a bit of a darker side to Finn ( ... ) it 's good to see this , because up until now , Finn 's been a bit too straight - laced to totally invest in . '' In the second season 's eighth episode , `` Furt '' , Entertainment Weekly 's Tim Stack said , `` It 's been a while since we 've gotten some Finn focus , and I think I just missed Cory Monteith . But I also forgot what a good , natural actor he can be . '' Monteith as Finn won the 2011 Teen Choice Award for Choice TV : Actor Comedy , and was nominated in the same category in 2010 . Although he was not a singer before being cast as Finn , Monteith sang lead or joint lead on a large number of songs on the show , most of which have charted in the US and abroad . `` Jessie 's Girl '' , which Finn performed as a solo , was certified gold in Australia , one of only three singles to do so from the show 's releases in that country ; he was joint lead on `` Do n't Stop Believin ' '' in the pilot episode , the show 's first single sung by the glee club , which was certified gold and platinum in Australia and the US .

He has also been portrayed as a child by Jerry Phillips in `` Pilot '' and as a preschooler by Jake Vaughn in the episode `` The Substitute '' . When Glee was being cast , Monteith 's Vancouver agent , Elena Kirschner , submitted a video of him drumming with some pencils and Tupperware containers . Series creator ( Ryan Murphy ) took notice of the video , but pointed out that he had to be singing , as auditioning actors for Glee with no theatrical experience were required to prove they could sing and dance as well as act . Monteith submitted a second , musical tape , in which he sang `` a cheesy , ' 80s music - video - style version '' of REO Speedwagon 's `` Ca n't Fight This Feeling '' . He then attended a mass audition in Los Angeles ; his vocal skills were considered weak , but he later performed very well with one of Glee 's casting directors , who said that his audition captured the most elusive quality of Finn 's , his `` naive , but not stupid sweetness '' . Monteith said of his casting process , `` I was like a lot of kids , looking for something to be interested in . Something to be passionate about . All you need is permission . Not only for Glee , but for anything in life . '' In December 2010 , Murphy announced that some members of the cast of Glee would be replaced after the end of the third season in spring 2012 , to coincide with their graduation . Murphy said : `` Every year we 're going to populate a new group . There 's nothing more depressing than a high schooler with a bald spot . '' He added , `` I think you have to be true to the fact that here is a group of people who come and go in these teachers ' lives . '' Although Murphy said in July 2011 that Monteith would be one of the actors leaving at the end of the third season , Falchuk later stated that while Monteith , along with Lea Michele and Chris Colfer , will graduate at the end of the third season , `` because they 're graduating does n't mean they 're leaving the show . '' Falchuk insisted that `` it was never our plan or our intention to let them go ... . They are not done with the show after this season . '' Characterization ( edit ) Finn originated as a character who `` walks a fine line between following his dreams and balancing what other people expect of him . '' Monteith 's former acting coach said : `` You 've got to be incredibly smart to understand how dim Finn can be '' , though Monteith appreciated the fact that Finn is more than `` just a dumb jock '' . He has admitted that he is sometimes frustrated by Finn 's `` convenient dumb - guy writing '' , and commented , `` I think every actor wants to be stretched . But it 's also important to realize that whatever we 're doing works . I realize that this happens to an actor about once every ten lifetimes . To be on a show that 's this good , it 's rarified air . '' Finn has matured during his run on the series -- in January 2011 , Monteith noted that he had `` grown up a little bit '' and become `` a little wiser '' . He later expanded , `` Finn 's not dumb anymore , really , he 's just naive . The opposite of me . I love Finn 's optimism . He 's very idealistic ; he wants a good girl to love him , and he chases after what he wants in life -- that I can relate to . '' The actor hopes that in time his character will be able to grow and mature more . He said in an interview with MTV , `` I think the harder it is for him , the better , you know ? I think Finn has a lot of growing up to do and I think that Finn has a lot of struggle left for him . I think dealing with a lot of his dad stuff , the passing of his father and dealing with the unrequited love all of a sudden from Rachel , I think the more trouble he goes through , the more interesting it is for me as an actor . '' Over the course of his run on the series , Finn 's primary relationship has been with the glee club 's main singer , Rachel . In a meeting with the press at PaleyFest2011 , which occurred when the characters were in the middle of a months - long breakup , Monteith commented : `` That 's a very important central relationship to the show . I think it 's important , and I think they 're endgame , but I ca n't be sure of when . I try not to get too attached to the pairing , so I can focus on storyline that does come my way . '' Falchuk said of the Finn -- Rachel relationship ahead of the third season , `` We 're not interested in breaking them up this year but at the same time the challenge is they are graduating , they are different kinds of people and where does that take you ? '' During the PaleyFest2011 Glee cast interview , Monteith said , `` There are a lot of people who really , really want Finn and Rachel to be together . But at the same time , I think that it 's really interesting when they 're clearly in love with each other but they 're apart . I think it makes for good television . '' He added , `` I think there 's a different dynamic to Finn with Quinn and with Rachel , and single . '' Storylines ( edit ) Season 1 ( edit ) Finn 's storylines have mainly revolved around that of glee club co-captain Rachel Berry ( Lea Michele , pictured ) . Finn is introduced as quarterback of the William McKinley High School football team . He is blackmailed into joining the school glee club , New Directions , by its faculty director Will Schuester ( Matthew Morrison ) . Despite being ostracized by the other football players , including his best friend Puck ( Mark Salling ) , Finn comes to enjoy being in the club . This worries his girlfriend , head cheerleader Quinn Fabray ( Dianna Agron ) , so she joins New Directions to keep an eye on him , afraid that lead singer Rachel Berry 's ( Lea Michele ) interest in Finn may be reciprocated . Quinn discovers that she is pregnant , as she had cheated on Finn with Puck , but tells Finn that the baby is his , though they never actually had intercourse . She subsequently moves in with Finn and his mother Carole ( Romy Rosemont ) after her parents find out about her pregnancy and evict her . When Rachel figures out that Puck is the father and informs Finn , he attacks Puck , breaks up with Quinn , and quits the glee club in a fury ; but after cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester ( Jane Lynch ) sabotages the glee club 's first show choir competition , he is able to set aside his anger and return to lead the club to victory . He and Rachel briefly date , but he ends the relationship to concentrate on his own well - being . By the time Finn realizes that he truly does want to be with Rachel , he is chagrined to discover that she has started dating Jesse St. James ( Jonathan Groff ) , the lead singer of rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline . Cheerleader Santana Lopez ( Naya Rivera ) offers to take Finn 's virginity to improve her social status and his , and he accepts , but afterward he regrets having done so and claims to Rachel that he did not go through with it ; she , in turn , falsely claims to have had sex with Jesse . By the time the club reach the next stage of show choir competitions , Jesse has betrayed Rachel and broken up with her . As Finn and Rachel are about to go onstage , Finn tells her that he loves her ; although they lose the competition , they become a couple and continue dating well into the next school year . Glee club member Kurt Hummel ( Chris Colfer ) , who is gay , has a longstanding crush on Finn , and sets up his father Burt ( Mike O'Malley ) with Finn 's mother Carole in the hopes of spending more time with him . Finn initially opposes the relationship , worried that his mother will forget about his late father , but relents when Burt tells Finn that he loves Carole , though Kurt is dismayed by the deepening rapport between Finn and Burt . Finn and his mother eventually move in with the Hummels , but when Finn , uncomfortable about rooming with Kurt who he knows has a crush on him but will not admit it , uses a homophobic slur against Kurt during an argument , Burt throws him out . Finn is ashamed , and makes amends by standing up for Kurt when he is victimized by bullies . The following fall , the bullying against Kurt has intensified , but Finn refuses to stand up for him this time , concerned that it may jeopardize his position as quarterback . When their parents marry , Finn uses his best man speech as an opportunity to apologize to Kurt , which begins a brotherly bond between the two . In the spring , the two of them team up to arrange the funeral of Sue Sylvester 's sister , Jean ( Robin Trocki ) , when Sue is too upset to do so , after which Sue ends her long - running campaign to destroy the glee club . Season 2 ( edit ) At the beginning of the second season , Finn runs afoul of the new football coach , Shannon Beiste ( Dot - Marie Jones ) , who briefly kicks him off the team , but he is eventually reinstated , and soon becomes quarterback again . Rachel learns the truth about Finn sleeping with Santana . Hurt , she makes out with Puck to get even with Finn ; this betrayal causes Finn to break up with her . The football team clinches a spot in the championship game , but animosity is running high between glee and non-glee members and harming the team 's performance . In `` The Sue Sylvester Shuffle '' , Coach Beiste and Will Schuester force the entire football team to join the glee club for a week to settle their differences and dispel their prejudices . After a promising start , the non-glee members quit the club and are kicked off the team ; at the same time , Sue arranges to have the cheerleading Regionals rescheduled to conflict with the football championship to sabotage both Beiste and Will , whose glee club now has to do the halftime show . With the football team down to half strength and the glee club without its cheerleader members , football players Finn and Puck settle their differences ; Puck convinces the non-glee football players to perform in the halftime show , which will also get them back on the team , while Finn convinces Quinn , Santana , and Brittany ( Heather Morris ) to quit the Cheerios and perform in the halftime show instead . The show is a great success , and the football team wins the championship game . Emboldened by leading the team to the championship , Finn sets his eyes on a new prize : Quinn , who is in a serious relationship with football player and glee club member Sam Evans ( Chord Overstreet ) . After setting up a kissing booth ostensibly to raise money for the glee club , Finn succeeds in kissing Quinn , and they make an assignation . Although Quinn ultimately decides to stay with Sam , he finds out about her cheating on him with Finn , and breaks up with her . Finn and Quinn reunite , campaign together for prom king and queen and go to junior prom together , but Finn is kicked out for fighting with a newly returned Jesse over Rachel , and prom king and queen are won by other students . Finn ultimately breaks up with Quinn again because he realizes how deep his feelings are for Rachel . At Nationals , as the New Directions are about to go on stage , Finn begs Rachel to come back to him , but though she professes her love , she refuses , still torn between her lifelong dream of Broadway stardom and her love for him . At the end of their duet -- `` Pretending '' , written by Finn -- the audience responds with awkward silence as Rachel and Finn actually kiss ; the club consequently fails to place at Nationals . Back in Ohio , Rachel tells Finn she is moving to New York for college and will not be coming back ; he reminds her that they have a whole year until graduation and they kiss , renewing their relationship . Season 3 ( edit ) As the new school year begins , Finn , a senior , has trouble figuring out what he wants to do with his life after graduation . In the fifth episode , `` The First Time '' , Finn is not recruited to play football in college , as he had hoped . He and Rachel decide to have sex together for the first time . In the episode `` Mash Off '' , Santana , who has joined the rival Troubletones , is relentlessly bullying Finn . After a fake apology pushes him to the edge , Finn tells her to just `` come out of the closet '' and accuses her of being a coward for tearing other people down only because she ca n't admit to everyone that she 's in love with Brittany . They are overheard by a girl whose uncle is running against Sue in a congressional campaign , and he uses Santana 's lesbianism -- because she 's Sue 's cheerleading co-captain -- against Sue in a campaign commercial , effectively `` outing '' her . Santana , devastated by this , slaps Finn , but he later claims it was a `` stage slap '' to prevent her from being suspended . In the episode `` Yes / No '' , Finn asks Rachel to marry him . In the episode `` On My Way '' , the wedding is set for after the Regionals competition , which New Directions wins , but it is canceled after Quinn is badly injured in a car crash on her way to the ceremony . They change the wedding date to after graduation , but after Finn fails to get into his New York acting school while she has been accepted by hers and she decides to wait a year , he instead sends her off to New York without him , and tells her that he has enlisted in the army and is `` setting her free '' . Season 4 ( edit ) Finn has not been in touch with Rachel or Kurt all summer and into the fall -- the two friends are now rooming together in Brooklyn while Rachel is attending NYADA -- but he reappears unexpectedly at the end of the third episode . He has been given an early discharge from the army after injuring himself . He finds out she kissed Brody ( Dean Geyer ) , a NYADA junior , and feels that he does n't belong in her world in New York , so he returns to Lima without telling her . She then breaks up with him . In Lima , Finn is working at Burt 's tire shop again , and Artie enlists his help to co-direct the school musical , Grease , which had been Finn 's suggestion . When Rachel comes to see the musical in the `` Glease '' episode , their reunion does not go well , and they agree to refrain from contact when Rachel visits Lima in the future . Will takes a leave of absence from McKinley to be a member of a blue - ribbon panel in Washington , DC , so starting in `` Dynamic Duets '' , Finn becomes the interim director of New Directions . While he has a rocky start in the position , they come to accept him as their leader . At Sectionals , the glee club loses to the Warblers after Marley ( Melissa Benoist ) passes out on stage , interrupting the performance . Afterward , Finn does what he can to keep the club together and finally succeeds despite Sue 's opposition -- she has deprived New Directions of rehearsal space at school . The Warblers are disqualified , and New Directions is again eligible to compete in Regionals ; the choir room is returned to them . Finn enlists Emma , who is deep in wedding preparations in advance of Will 's return , to help him judge a glee club competition for which member is the best diva . When he finds her panicking over the reception arrangements , he kisses her . In `` I Do '' , when Emma flees the church the day of the wedding , Finn blames himself , but Rachel sets him straight , and he and Rachel sleep with each other post-reception . In `` Girls ( and Boys ) On Film '' , Finn teams up with Artie to help find Emma for Will ; he later confesses to Will that he kissed Emma , and Will is unable to forgive him . Since working with Will is untenable , Finn leaves New Directions though he enjoyed directing them ; Marley tells him he 's a good teacher , and he should get a teaching degree . He goes to college , where he shares a dorm room with Puck -- who is n't actually attending the school . Will later asks Finn to return to co-lead New Directions , and he agrees . Meanwhile , Santana has discovered that Brody , who is now living with Rachel , is a gigolo , and tells Finn , who flies to New York and warns Brody away , ultimately beating him up and saying , `` Stay away from my future wife . '' When Rachel finds out and breaks up with Brody , she admits that the relationship never would have worked because she was using it to try to get over her heartache about Finn . Rachel later thanks him for his intervention in `` Sweet Dreams '' when she calls him to get advice for choosing an audition song for the upcoming Broadway revival of Funny Girl . Season 5 ( edit ) `` The Quarterback '' , the third episode of the fifth season , opens three weeks after Finn 's funeral . No cause of death is given . Kurt , in a voiceover , explains that it is not the circumstances of Finn 's death that matters , but how he lived his life . Season 6 ( edit ) In the flash back episode `` 2009 '' , the original Glee club members have second thoughts about Finn being the leader of the new club . After talking about how different Finn is from the other school jocks , they decide to let him stay in the club . The scene moves to the New Directions , with Finn , singing Do n't Stop Believing from the `` Pilot '' episode . In `` A Wedding '' , Burt and Carole tell the reunited Kurt and Blaine that Finn taught them to live the most out of every day . In the series finale `` Dreams Come True '' , U.S. Vice President Sue Sylvester rededicates the McKinley High auditorium to be named in honor of Finn . Musical performances ( edit ) As Finn is the most frequent male lead in New Directions numbers , Monteith features in a great many musical performances which have been released as singles available for digital download and are also featured in the show 's soundtrack albums . He frequently shares vocal leads with the main female singer , Rachel , as in the pilot episode 's closing song , Journey 's `` Do n't Stop Believin ' '' , the single of which has sold over a million copies and been certified platinum in the US and Australia . Like Finn , Monteith was a novice singer when the show started . In an interview with GQ 's Alex Pappademus , he noted that , early on , `` you could hear the Auto - Tune . '' He was not called on to sing much on the first few episodes , as he rapped in `` Push It '' for `` Showmance '' , had a short solo phrase in the song `` I Wanna Sex You Up '' in `` Acafellas '' , and was not featured as a vocal lead in `` Preggers '' . Over the next three episodes , he shares the lead on four group numbers . Three are with Rachel : Queen 's `` Somebody to Love '' , `` No Air '' and `` Keep Holding On '' . The fourth is a boys - only mash - up of Bon Jovi 's `` It 's My Life '' with Usher 's `` Confessions Part II '' , where Finn sings lead on the `` It 's My Life '' sections and Artie on the rest . Excluding a scene from the pilot of him singing a portion of `` Ca n't Fight This Feeling '' in the shower , Finn 's first solo songs are not until the show 's tenth episode , `` Ballad '' . Finn sings `` I 'll Stand By You '' to the unborn child he thinks is his , and later sings `` ( You 're ) Having My Baby '' to Quinn , the mother of the child , in front of her parents , who respond with her mother being forced to watch as her father evicts her from the family home . He has two solo numbers later in the season : `` Hello , I Love You '' by The Doors , characterized by Bobby Hankinson of the Houston Chronicle as `` one of Finn 's best vocal performances to date '' , and `` Jessie 's Girl '' by Rick Springfield ; the latter song charted in the top ten in Australia , Canada and Ireland , and was certified gold in Australia , one of only three singles from Glee to have received gold certification in that country . Finn sings lead more frequently in the second half of the first season , as he is featured in over a dozen songs , including several with Rachel . However , in Glee 's second season , he sings lead in fewer songs than in the first , though he again sings a significant proportion with Rachel , including the duets `` Do n't Go Breaking My Heart '' , `` With You I 'm Born Again '' , `` Last Christmas '' , and the one ostensibly written by Finn at the end of the season , `` Pretending '' . His first solo performance of the second season , in the episode `` Grilled Cheesus '' , is R.E.M. 's `` Losing My Religion '' . Monteith said he and series music producer Adam Anders `` had a bit of a different idea '' about how the song should be performed . While Anders `` always brings the songs in very positive , very upbeat '' , he felt the song `` was expressing a betrayal '' , and with Finn feeling both betrayal and anger , Monteith wanted his performance to reflect that . Anthony Benigno of the Daily News commented positively on the arrangement of Monteith 's song , and graded the performance an `` A '' , but Erica Futterman of Rolling Stone was critical of the arrangement , and said Monteith 's performance was `` more awkward than inspired . '' Finn 's other solo is `` I 've Gotta Be Me '' in the episode `` Born This Way '' . In the episode `` Furt '' , when Finn 's mother marries Kurt 's father and the glee club provides music for the wedding , two of the songs are by Bruno Mars : `` Marry You '' , which is sung by the entire club as a big processional production number , and `` Just the Way You Are '' , which is sung by Finn to Kurt at the reception . Raymund Flandez of The Wall Street Journal characterized the `` two Bruno Mars songs '' as `` brilliant in execution and touching in sentiment '' , and Futterman agreed : `` the Bruno Mars songs gave the show two of its best performances this season '' . While Benigno and Stack also praised `` Just the Way You Are '' , and both gave the song an `` A '' , Jen Harper of BuddyTV thought Monteith 's vocals as Finn `` are n't the strongest '' and AOL TV 's Jean Bentley also wished Finn had not been the soloist . In `` The Sue Sylvester Shuffle '' , Finn led his football teammates , some of whom were performing with the glee club under duress , in The Zombies ' `` She 's Not There '' . VanDerWerff called it `` one of the better numbers of the season '' , and Futterman felt that Monteith 's vocals were a `` perfect fit '' for the song . Finn 's sole duet with Quinn , Fleetwood Mac 's `` I Do n't Want to Know '' from the episode `` Rumours '' , was given an `` A − '' by Entertainment Weekly 's Sandra Gonzalez , and Futterman said it was `` better than Quinn and Sam 's ' Lucky ' '' , which she had called `` charming '' when it was performed in `` Duets '' . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The character of Finn has gotten mixed to positive reviews from television critics . VanDerWerff praised the `` terrific '' cast in the pilot episode , and wrote that Monteith and Michele `` are both agreeable and a little desperate for an outlet as the show choir 's central two singers '' . The Chicago Tribune 's Maureen Ryan opined that `` Cory Monteith gives quarterback Finn Hudson a jock - ish authority mixed with an appealingly square naivete . '' Korbi Ghosh of Zap2it enjoyed Finn 's `` sweet nature '' and observed , `` it 's clear that at Finn 's core , he 's a good person . '' Shawna Malcom of the Los Angeles Times noted a contradiction in his characterization in the episode `` Preggers '' -- she questioned whether the intelligence he demonstrated in striving for a football scholarship was incongruent in a character who believed he had impregnated Quinn by sharing a hot tub with her . Goldman welcomed the emergence of Finn 's `` darker side '' as he manipulated Rachel in `` The Rhodes Not Taken '' , as `` up until now , Finn 's been a bit too straight - laced to totally invest in '' . Denise Martin of the Los Angeles Times added , `` Did anyone not want to kill Finn for coming on to Rachel to get her to come back to the club ? ( Yes , the logic was there . He wants to win a scholarship so he can provide for the baby he thinks is his . But a girl 's heart is a fragile thing , and like Rachel tells him , he could have just tried being honest . ) '' In his review of `` Ballad '' , Goldman commented : `` Finn singing ' I 'll Stand By You ' to the unborn baby he thinks is his was very sweet '' . He found the scene that followed Finn 's revelation of Quinn 's pregnancy to her parents the grimmest on Glee to that point . The intense sequence featuring Finn , Kurt and Burt in `` Theatricality '' garnered praise for Monteith from James Poniewozik of Time , who wrote : `` One thing I love about his performance , here and throughout Glee , is that he plays Finn as a kid , which of course he still is . He 's basically a good kid , but as his ' faggy ' outburst shows , he 's flawed and often overwhelmed . And while he has little to do during Burt 's lecture but react , his reactions are great : he 's scared and defensive , but shows Finn 's guilt at the same time . '' When Finn 's mother marries Kurt 's father in the second season 's eighth episode , `` Furt '' , Stack was pleased to see Finn being featured : `` It 's been a while since we 've gotten some Finn focus , and I think I just missed Cory Monteith . But I also forgot what a good , natural actor he can be . '' While giving `` The Sue Sylvester Shuffle '' episode a `` C '' grade , VanDerWerff wrote as an aside , `` Let 's pause for a moment to give Cory Monteith some praise , though , since he was asked to do a lot of difficult things in this episode , in regards to selling the idea of Finn as a leader , bringing disparate groups together , and he mostly managed that task , much better than he has in past episodes . '' While reviewing `` Funeral '' , the season 's penultimate episode , Gonzalez said , `` I was glad that the writers chose ( ... ) Finn and Kurt to be the ones to connect with Sue because I think they 're two of the most genuine characters on the show . ( ... ) I think they pulled it off well . '' In his review of `` Funeral '' , VanDerVerff noted that Finn was not the best vocalist among the male students : `` the show hits on something very odd in its DNA : Finn continues to be the male lead of the group because he 's the male lead of the show , less because he 's the best singer New Directions has . ( ... ) But because he 's trying to get better , that 's OK '' . At the conclusion of the second season , Poniewozik wrote that he had not found the relationship between Finn and Rachel `` the most compelling story '' of the season , and as such `` did n't enjoy ' New York ' as much as ( he ) might have '' , and VanDerWerff commented that their storyline had `` ceased being too interesting long ago . '' However , the former conceded `` I may not be that invested in Finn / Rachel , but the startling moment where the audience disappeared in the middle of their kiss made me feel like I was '' , and the latter opined that their kiss resonated , despite being unoriginal and `` too neat way of suggesting that Rachel ca n't have both Finn and her Broadway dreams '' . Accolades ( edit ) Monteith won the 2011 Teen Choice Award in the Choice TV : Actor Comedy category for his portrayal of Finn , and was a member of the Glee cast ensemble given the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series award at the 16th Screen Actors Guild Awards . He received several other nominations for the role , including Teen Choice Awards in 2009 for Choice TV : Breakout Star Male and in 2010 for Choice TV : Comedy Actor , and the 17th Screen Actors Guild Awards ensemble nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series .

The Saints defeated the Colts by a score of 31 -- 17 , earning their first Super Bowl win . The game was played at Hard Rock Stadium ( formerly Joe Robbie Stadium ) in Miami Gardens , Florida , for the fifth time ( and in South Florida for the tenth time ) , on February 7 , 2010 , the latest calendar date for a Super Bowl yet . This was the Saints ' first Super Bowl appearance and the fourth for the Colts franchise , their second appearance in four seasons . The Saints entered the game with a 13 -- 3 record for the 2009 regular season , compared to the Colts ' 14 -- 2 record . In the playoff games , both teams placed first in their respective conferences , marking the first time since Super Bowl XXVIII ( 16 years previously ) that both number - one seeds have reached the Super Bowl . The Colts entered the Super Bowl off victories over the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets , while the Saints advanced after defeating the previous year 's runners up the Arizona Cardinals and then overcoming the Minnesota Vikings in the Conference Championship . It was also the first time both teams started with a thirteen - game winning streak . Down 10 -- 6 at halftime of Super Bowl XLIV , in what many consider the turning point of the game , New Orleans recovered a surprise onside kick on the second half kickoff , then took their first lead of the game on Pierre Thomas 's 16 - yard touchdown reception . The Colts responded with Joseph Addai 's 4 - yard touchdown run to regain the lead at 17 -- 13 . The Saints then scored 18 unanswered points , including Tracy Porter 's 74 - yard interception return for a touchdown , to clinch the victory . New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees , who completed 32 of 39 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns , was named the Super Bowl MVP . His 32 completions tied a Super Bowl record set by Tom Brady in Super Bowl XXXVIII . The live broadcast of the game on CBS was watched by an average U.S. audience of 106.5 million viewers , making it then the most - watched Super Bowl . The National Anthem was sung by Carrie Underwood , and the halftime show featured the British rock band The Who . Super Bowl XLIV was the last Bowl to have a uniquely designed logo as its predecessors had : starting with Super Bowl XLV , the logo was permanently settled to bear the Vince Lombardi Trophy superimposed on a model of the stadium hosting the game and Roman numerals denoting the edition of the game . ( The Roman numerals were removed and replaced with Arabic numerals for just Super Bowl 50 . ) Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 1.1 Host selection process 1.2 Pro Bowl changes 1.3 Teams 1.3. 1 New Orleans Saints 1.3. 2 Indianapolis Colts 1.4 Playoffs 2 Broadcasting 2.1 Television 2.1. 1 United States 2.1. 2 Commercials 2.1. 2.1 Notable returnees and absences 2.1. 2.2 What aired 2.1. 2.3 Controversies 2.1. 3 International telecasts 2.2 Radio 3 Entertainment and other ceremonies 3.1 Pregame 3.2 Halftime 3.3 Merchandising 4 Game summary 4.1 First quarter 4.2 Second quarter 4.3 Third quarter 4.4 Fourth quarter 4.5 Box score 4.6 Statistical overview 5 Final statistics 5.1 Statistical comparison 5.2 Individual statistics 5.3 Super Bowl records 6 Starting lineups 7 Aftermath 8 Officials 9 Game time and weather conditions 10 References 11 External links Background ( edit ) Host selection process ( edit ) The then - named Sun Life Stadium , the venue of Super Bowl XLIV The league initially voted on March 23 , 2005 , that New York City host the game , contingent on the completion of the proposed West Side Stadium being built for the New York Jets by 2008 . After New York state government officials declined to approve $400 million for the stadium , the NFL decided to reopen the bidding for the game 's site . The league reconsidered the other , unsuccessful candidates for Super Bowl XLIII : Atlanta , Houston , and Miami . On October 6 , 2006 , the league selected Miami as the host city , with the formerly - named - Joe Robbie Stadium as the venue . This was the tenth time the Super Bowl has been held in the Miami Metro area at the home stadium of the Miami Dolphins : the formerly - named - Joe Robbie Stadium had hosted four previous Super Bowls ( XXIII , XXIX , XXXIII , and XLI ) and five were played in the Dolphins ' now demolished former home , the Miami Orange Bowl ( II , III , V , X , XIII ) . The Colts franchise was playing its fourth Super Bowl , all of which were played in Miami ( two at the Orange Bowl and two at then - named Sun Life Stadium ) . They are the only franchise to play all of its Super Bowls in the same city and the second to play two or more Super Bowls in two different stadiums ( joining the Broncos who played two at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego and two at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans ) . With Tampa as the host of Super Bowl XLIII , Super Bowl XLIV also marked the third time that consecutive Super Bowls have been played in the same state . Super Bowls II and III were both played at the Orange Bowl . Super Bowls XXI and XXII were both played in California : XXI at Pasadena 's Rose Bowl Stadium and XXII at San Diego 's Jack Murphy Stadium . Miami became the first city to host two Super Bowls designated as a National Special Security Event ( NSSE ) . In the wake of the September 11 , 2001 terrorist attacks , every Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXXVI has been designated as an NSSE . Super Bowl XLI was Miami 's first Super Bowl designated as an NSSE . Pro Bowl changes ( edit ) Main article : 2010 Pro Bowl The 2010 Pro Bowl was played on January 31 , during the off - week between the conference championships and the Super Bowl , breaking with the precedent of scheduling the game for the Sunday after the Super Bowl . The game also changed venues from Aloha Stadium in Honolulu , Hawaii , where it had been held since 1979 , to Sun Life Stadium in Miami ( the same city and stadium hosting the Super Bowl itself ) . Fourteen players from the Super Bowl participants , seven from each team , had been selected but were unable to participate due to the change . The new schedule took advantage of the bye week given to the conference champions to rest and prepare for the Super Bowl . The Pro Bowl returned to Honolulu the following season and remained there until 2015 , when it was played in Glendale , AZ , a week before Super Bowl XLIX , also in Glendale . The game returned it to Honolulu in 2016 , and beginning in 2017 is played in Orlando permanently . The move also meant that the Pro Bowl , which was won by the AFC by a score of 41 -- 34 , would avoid competing against the 2010 NBA All - Star Game , the second full day of competition in the 2010 Winter Olympics , and the 52nd running of the Daytona 500 , as would have been the case had the game been played on February 14 per its traditional post-Super Bowl scheduling . Teams ( edit ) New Orleans Saints ( edit ) Main article : 2009 New Orleans Saints season The New Orleans Saints finished the season with an NFC best 13 -- 3 record and went on to advance to the first Super Bowl in their 43 years as an NFL team . After joining the NFL in 1967 , it took them 21 years to record their first winning season and another 13 years after that to win their first playoff game . Five years later , the New Orleans area suffered another setback when the Louisiana Superdome was devastated with the rest of the city by Hurricane Katrina , forcing them to play all of their home games in 2005 elsewhere as they finished with a 3 -- 13 record ( see Effect of Hurricane Katrina on the New Orleans Saints ) . But in the offseason , the team 's fortunes began to turn . First , they signed free agent quarterback Drew Brees , who would go on to throw for more passing yards than any other quarterback over the next four seasons . They also drafted multi-talented Heisman Trophy winning ( since vacated ) running back Reggie Bush , receiver Marques Colston , and guard Jahri Evans , three players who would become major contributors on the Saints ' offense . The following season , New Orleans improved to 10 -- 6 and advanced to the NFC title game for the first time , which they lost to the Chicago Bears . Although they failed to make the playoffs over the next two seasons , they continued to sign new talent , and by 2009 they were ready to make another run at the Super Bowl . The Saints ' offense led the NFL in scoring , averaging just under 32 points per game . Brees finished the season as the NFL 's top rated quarterback ( 109.6 ) , completing an NFL - record 70.6 % of his passes for 4,338 yards and 34 touchdowns , with just 11 interceptions . His top target was Colston , who caught 70 passes for 1,074 yards and 9 touchdowns , but he had plenty of other weapons , such as receivers Devery Henderson ( 51 receptions ) and Robert Meachem ( 45 ) , along with tight ends Jeremy Shockey ( 48 ) and Dave Thomas ( 35 ) . With fullback Heath Evans out of action due to injury for most of the season , Dave Thomas often lined up as a fullback , with tackle Zach Strief serving as an extra blocker on short yardage plays . The ground attack was led by running backs Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell . Thomas rushed for 793 yards and caught 39 passes for 302 , while Bell added 654 yards on the ground . Bush was also a major contributor , rushing for 390 yards ( with a 5.6 yards per carry average ) , catching 47 passes for 335 yards , and adding another 130 yards returning punts . New Orleans also had a strong offensive line with three Pro Bowl selections : guard Jahri Evans , center Jonathan Goodwin , and tackle Jon Stinchcomb . Defensive lineman Will Smith led the team in sacks with 13 . Another big weapon on defense was linebacker Jonathan Vilma , who led the team with 87 tackles and intercepted three passes . The Saints ' secondary was led by 12 - year veteran safety Darren Sharper , who recorded 9 interceptions and set an NFL record by returning them for 376 yards and three touchdowns . Cornerback Tracy Porter was also effective , recording 49 tackles and 4 picks with one touchdown . The Saints started out the season strong , winning their first 13 games . But then they became the first 13 -- 0 team ever to lose their last three games of the year . After losing their 14th game to the Dallas Cowboys 24 -- 17 , they suffered a narrow loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ( 20 -- 17 in overtime ) after Garrett Hartley missed a potential game - winning field goal . With the team 's playoff seed clinched , head coach Sean Payton chose to rest Brees and other starters in the final game of the season , resulting in a 23 -- 10 loss to the Carolina Panthers . The string of defeats cast a cloud over the team 's postseason chances . Still , they clinched the # 1 NFC playoff seed and scored 76 points in their two playoff wins en route to their first ever Super Bowl . Indianapolis Colts ( edit ) Main article : 2009 Indianapolis Colts season Indianapolis had the NFL - best 14 -- 2 record , winning seven games by less than a touchdown , on their way to earning their second Super Bowl appearance in the last four years . Once again , the Colts boasted a powerful offense led by 10 - time Pro Bowl quarterback Peyton Manning , who threw for over 4,500 yards and 33 touchdowns during the season , with only 16 interceptions , earning him a 99.9 passer rating and a league record fourth National Football League Most Valuable Player Award . Under the protection of Pro Bowl center Jeff Saturday and the rest of the line , Manning had been sacked just 13 times during the regular season , the fewest in the NFL . His top targets were veteran receiver Reggie Wayne and tight end Dallas Clark , who both recorded 100 receptions and 10 touchdowns . Wayne led the team with 1,260 yards , while Clark was second with 1,106 . Manning also had other reliable targets , such as recently drafted receivers Austin Collie ( 60 receptions for 676 yards and 7 touchdowns ) and Pierre Garçon ( 47 receptions for 765 yards and 4 touchdowns ) . Running back Joseph Addai led the Colts ' ground game with 821 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns , while also catching 51 passes for another 336 yards and 3 scores . Indianapolis ' defensive line was led by Pro Bowl defensive ends Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney . Freeney led the team with 13.5 sacks , while Mathis added 9.5 sacks and forced 5 fumbles . Behind them , the Colts had a solid corps of linebackers featuring Clint Session and Gary Brackett , who each recorded 80 tackles . Pro Bowl safety Antoine Bethea led the secondary with 70 tackles and four interceptions . Under their new coach Jim Caldwell , the Colts started off the season with 14 consecutive wins before suffering their first loss to the New York Jets , 29 -- 15 , a game in which Caldwell made the controversial decision to rest his starters after the team took a slim lead rather than keep them in to play for a chance at a 16 -- 0 season . Indianapolis finished the season at 14 -- 2 following a loss to the Buffalo Bills , in which they rested their starters and went on to advance to the Super Bowl , making them perfect in all their games in which their starters played all four quarters . Caldwell led the Colts to the Super Bowl the season after Tony Dungy retired , just like in Tampa Bay when Jon Gruden led the Bucs to Super Bowl XXXVII after Dungy was fired . Senior offensive line coach Howard Mudd retired following the game . Playoffs ( edit ) Main article : 2009 -- 10 NFL playoffs New Orleans started off their playoff run with a dominating 45 -- 14 win over the defending NFC champion Arizona Cardinals . Arizona was coming off a 51 -- 45 overtime win over the Green Bay Packers in which they racked up 531 yards against a defense ranked second in the league in total yards allowed . However , although Arizona scored on their first play of the game , New Orleans dominated the Cardinals with 35 points in the first half . First , Lynell Hamilton scored on a 1 - yard run . Then , Sharper recovered a fumble from Arizona , setting up Brees ' touchdown pass to Shockey . Following a punt , Bush scored on a franchise playoff record 46 - yard run . In the second quarter , Brees added two more touchdown passes , one to Henderson on a flea flicker and the other to Colston that was set up by a Will Smith interception , giving them a 35 -- 14 first half lead before adding 10 more points in the second half on a Hartley field goal and Bush 's 83 - yard punt return . Bush racked up 217 all - purpose yards , while Brees threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns . Their opponent in the NFC Championship Game was the Minnesota Vikings , led by 11 - time Pro Bowl quarterback Brett Favre , who had thrown four touchdown passes in their divisional round win over the Dallas Cowboys . Even though the Saints ' offense could only muster 257 total yards , their defense made up for it by forcing five turnovers . Additionally , the Saints outgained the Vikings in punt and kickoff return yards 166 to 50 . The key play of the game occurred late in the fourth quarter with the score tied 28 -- 28 and the Vikings driving for a potential game - winning field goal . With less than a minute left , they reached the Saints 33 - yard line . But after two runs for no gain and a penalty that pushed them back to the 38 , Porter picked off a pass from Favre to send the game into overtime . After New Orleans won the coin toss , Pierre Thomas 's 40 - yard kickoff return set up a 10 - play , 39 - yard drive that ended with a game winning 40 - yard field goal by Hartley , sending the Saints to their first ever Super Bowl . Indianapolis ' first opponent was the Baltimore Ravens , a 9 -- 7 squad that had advanced to the divisional round by defeating the New England Patriots 33 -- 14 , forcing four turnovers from their All - Pro quarterback Tom Brady . Against the Colts , however , all they could manage was a field goal on their opening drive . Indianapolis built up a 17 -- 3 first half lead with a Matt Stover field goal and Manning 's touchdown passes to Wayne and Collie . In the second half , the Colts survived two interceptions from Baltimore safety Ed Reed on one drive , one of which Reed fumbled , and the other which was called back by a penalty . Stover , who spent 18 years with the Modell franchise , finished the drive with his second field goal to make final score 20 -- 3 , as their defense put the game away by forcing two consecutive turnovers . Their next opponent was in the AFC Championship Game against the New York Jets , who had made the playoffs in part due to Caldwell 's decision to bench his starters in their Week 16 meeting . This time , the Colts would have to mount a comeback , as New York built up a 17 -- 6 first half lead . Yet Indianapolis would step up to the challenge , scoring 24 unanswered points . First , Manning completed three passes to Collie for 80 yards , the last one a 16 - yard touchdown completion to cut the score to 17 -- 13 at the end of the half . Manning added two more touchdown passes in the second half , one to Garçon and one to Clark , and Stover added a 21 - yard field goal to close out the scoring . Manning finished the game with 377 passing yards and three touchdowns , while Garçon and Collie had over 100 receiving yards each . This is the first Super Bowl matchup in which both teams had a first - round bye since Super Bowl XXXIX . All four of the Super Bowls in - between had one team that played all three rounds ( two of which were wild - card teams ) , with three of those teams ( including the Colts in Super Bowl XLI ) winning it all . Broadcasting ( edit ) Television ( edit ) United States ( edit ) The game was televised live in the United States on CBS , capping the network 's 50th season of NFL coverage ( 1956 -- 93 ; 1998 -- present ) . This was the 17th Super Bowl telecast for CBS , the largest total among the `` big four '' US television networks . CBS had also broadcast the previous Super Bowl held in South Florida ( XLI ) . Play - by - play announcer Jim Nantz and color commentator Phil Simms were in the broadcast booth , with Steve Tasker and Solomon Wilcots serving as sideline reporters . The game was preceded by The Super Bowl Today , a four - hour pregame show hosted by James Brown and featuring analysts Dan Marino , Boomer Esiason , Shannon Sharpe and Bill Cowher along with several other commentators , which started at 2pm EST . A kickoff show for the game aired from 6pm EST to 6 : 28pm EST . With an average U.S. audience of 106.5 million viewers , this was the third most - watched Super Bowl , trailing only the 111 million viewers for Super Bowl XLV the following year and 111.3 million viewers for Super Bowl XLVI . At the time , it was the most - watched program of any kind in American television history , beating the 27 - year - long record previously held by the final episode of M * A * S * H , `` Goodbye , Farewell and Amen '' , which coincidentally , also aired on CBS , and was watched by 105.97 million viewers . An estimated 153.4 million total viewers watched all or part of the game . The game drew a national Nielsen rating of 45.0 with a 68 share , the highest for a Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXX in 1996 ( 46.0 / 68 ) . The telecast drew a 56.3 rating in New Orleans and a 54.2 rating in Indianapolis , first and fourth respectively among local markets . Commercials ( edit ) Notable returnees and absences ( edit ) Perennial Super Bowl advertisers Anheuser -- Busch InBev and CareerBuilder stated their commitment to advertise in Super Bowl XLIV , showing eight and two different spots during the game , respectively . A 30 - second spot cost US $ 2.8 million with several advertisers getting discounts , down from the previous year 's $3 million . All advertising slots were sold out on February 1 , 2010 , six days before the game . Pepsi - Cola had previously stated their commitment to advertise , but then said they would not be buying any commercial time , marking the first time in 23 years that Pepsi did not run an ad during the Super Bowl itself . FedEx also stated that they would not buy ad time . Both Pepsi and FedEx are official NFL sponsors . Coca - Cola and Dr Pepper Snapple Group capitalized on Pepsi 's absence by buying ads in the game ; Dr Pepper 's ad featured KISS performing `` Calling Dr. Love '' , while one of Coca - Cola 's three ads featured Montgomery Burns ( of FOX 's The Simpsons ) losing everything he owns . Also for the second straight year , one of the Big Three American automobile makers -- General Motors -- did not have a commercial in the game . Ford had one commercial for the Ford Edge featuring Mike Rowe . Chrysler 's Dodge brand did advertise this year for its Dodge Charger , narrated by Michael C. Hall . What aired ( edit ) Frito - Lay 's Doritos brand , in turn owned by PepsiCo , had four consumer - created advertisements scheduled . The first three ads -- running in the first quarter -- featured a sly dog using an anti-bark collar to his advantage to steal a man 's Doritos , a fast - handed boy defending his Doritos and his mother from a potential suitor , and a man faking his death for free Doritos . The fourth ad , featuring an angry gym rat who was overprotective for his Doritos being stolen , aired in the fourth quarter . Had three of the ads topped the USA Today Super Bowl Ad Meter rankings , the commercial 's creators would have won a total of US $5 million ( $1 million for first , $600,000 for second and $400,000 for third , plus a $1 million bonus for each of the three finalists ) . The previous year , Joe and David Herbert 's `` Free Doritos '' ad topped the survey and won $1 million . The United States Census Bureau spent $2.5 million on a 30 - second spot , directed by noted independent filmmaker Christopher Guest , for the 2010 United States Census , which urged Americans to answer its questionnaires that will be sent out in the next few weeks . McDonald 's aired a commercial , updating a famous ad from the early 1990s , in which NBA superstars LeBron James and Dwight Howard ( replacing Michael Jordan and Larry Bird ) play an otherworldly game of H-O-R-S-E , with a McDonald 's lunch going to the winner -- however , they soon look over and see that Bird has helped himself to it . Mars Chocolate returned three years after its controversial Snickers ad that was protested by gay groups with two men kissing one another that was pulled one day following the game ( see Super Bowl XLI : Commercials ) . The commercial -- winner of the annual Ad Meter survey -- featured veteran actors Betty White and Abe Vigoda playing full - contact backyard football . The rest of the Top Five : 2 . The aforementioned Doritos 's amateur ad featuring a dog strapped to an anti-bark collar getting revenge on a teasing man . 3 . A Bud Light ad with a house completely made of beer cans of the sponsor 's product . 4 . A Budweiser ad featuring the relationship between a Clydesdale and a Longhorn steer . 5 . Coca - Cola 's man walking through an African savanna in the middle of the night . The YouTube Top Five of their `` 2010 Ad Blitz '' were : Another Doritos ad that showed a kid slapping his mom 's suitor . E-Trade 's baby with his girlfriend . The Doritos dog collar ad . The Snickers Betty White / Abe Vigoda ad . The Doritos commercial with the gym rat . ADBOWL results reflected the following ranking : Snickers : You 're Not You -- Betty White & Abe Vigoda Doritos : House Rules Volkswagen : `` Punch Dub '' Game Google : Parisian Love Doritos : Underdog Internet domain registrar GoDaddy , which created a racy ad the year after the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy , bought two ads in the Super Bowl for the sixth consecutive year . Advertising Age reported that Paramount Pictures bought a Super Bowl spot for the upcoming films Iron Man 2 and The Last Airbender . A trailer for the HBO miniseries The Pacific was also aired . Other advertisers for 2010 included Homeaway Inc. , paying tribute to National Lampoon 's Vacation with their stars Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo , and Diamond Foods , who returned to promote both its Emerald Nuts brand and Pop Secret popcorn , which they bought from General Mills two years before . Boost Mobile aired a special ad , celebrating the 25th Anniversary of The Super Bowl Shuffle , featuring many of the 1985 Chicago Bears to advertise their US $50 per month service . Also , in a CBS - produced promo for the Late Show with David Letterman , the eponymous host and his longtime talk show rival , Jay Leno , appeared together with Oprah Winfrey . Controversies ( edit ) Three advertisers in particular raised eyebrows with their choice to advertise during the Super Bowl . One new advertiser , Focus on the Family , aired a commercial featuring 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother that elicited criticism from some women 's groups who demanded CBS cancel the ad because they claimed it would be divisive , under the impression that it would mention Tebow 's mother was advised , for health issues , to abort her son Tim , but she chose to give birth to him . In the first quarter , CBS aired the advertisement , which had not been pre-released to the public . Per a statement released earlier , the ad did not mention the topic of abortion explicitly . One proposed sponsor , ManCrunch , a gay dating site that bills itself as a place `` where many many many men come out to play '' , had expressed interest in purchasing a 30 - second advertisement . The ManCrunch advertisement would have depicted a male Green Bay Packers fan and a male Minnesota Vikings fan reaching into the same bowl of potato chips at the same time and , after a brief pause , begin to passionately kiss . ManCrunch 's ad , which has since been released to the public , was initially put on a waiting list before the network outright rejected it due to it violating CBS 's broadcast standards . ManCrunch immediately accused CBS of discrimination . Some observers suspect that their advertisement was an attempt at ambush marketing and free publicity . Another ad that was rejected by CBS for failure to meet standards was for the texting service kgb , which focuses on two men with CGI - enhanced images bent over with their heads in their posteriors , while an actor , Sean Gunn , portraying an agent stated that `` They had their head up their ( backsides ) '' . kgb instead aired an ad with two people who had to find the Japanese word for `` I surrender '' before being run over by a sumo wrestler . Another ad for Bud Light which was rejected showed workers stripping down for a charity clothes drive in exchange for free beer . All of the rejected ads were shown on YouTube . Among other rejected or modified ads were one for Electronic Arts ' Dante 's Inferno , which had to be edited for content ( the closing phrase , originally intended to read `` go to Hell '' , was replaced with `` Hell awaits '' ) , and GoDaddy 's originally planned advertisement . Career Builder 's ad , showing people dressed too casually for `` Casual Friday '' and a Dockers ad to promote a free pair of their pants with men in shirts but sans trousers aired back - to - back early in the second quarter . An E * TRADE advertisement , continuing their theme of talking babies on a Web cam , featured a boyfriend - stealing , `` milkaholic '' baby girl named `` Lindsay . '' Actress Lindsay Lohan , who has a history of alcoholism and was noted for having tried in the early 2000s ( decade ) to date popular young men who were already dating other women , attempted to sue E * TRADE over the advertisement , seeking US $100,000,000 in damages , under the impression that the advertisement defamed her via subliminal messaging and violated her personality rights . E * TRADE denied the allegations and stated the name `` Lindsay '' came from a member of the accounting staff . Lohan and E * TRADE settled the lawsuit in September 2010 ; the terms were confidential .

Entertainment and other ceremonies ( edit ) Pregame ( edit ) Aircraft of the 125th Fighter Wing perform a flyover during the singing of the National Anthem . Barenaked Ladies played the Super Bowl Saturday Night event with O.A.R. and Robert Randolph and the Family Band . Chris Daughtry , Steve Winwood and Queen Latifah performed during the Super Bowl pre-game tailgate party , which started at 2 p.m. Carrie Underwood sang the National Anthem and Queen Latifah sang `` America the Beautiful . '' Underwood 's selection marks the third straight year that an alumnus of American Idol has been chosen to perform `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , joining Jordin Sparks at Super Bowl XLII and Jennifer Hudson a year later . Translation of both songs into American Sign Language was provided by Kinesha Battles , a student at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind . To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the San Francisco 49ers ' fifth Super Bowl victory , which took place at this stadium , Jerry Rice , who had also been MVP of Super Bowl XXIII , another Super Bowl played at this stadium , joined the coin toss ceremonies . Rice had just been named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2010 . The rest of the class -- Rickey Jackson , Dick LeBeau , Floyd Little , Russ Grimm , John Randle , and Emmitt Smith -- were named the day before . The Saints won the coin toss , marking the 13th straight Super Bowl the NFC won the toss ( the Cardinals won the toss in Super Bowl XLIII but elected to defer to the second half , giving the Steelers the ball to open the game ) . Halftime ( edit ) The Who performing during the halftime show The Who performed at the Super Bowl XLIV halftime show . The band played a medley of their hits , consisting of `` Pinball Wizard '' , `` Baba O'Riley '' , `` Who Are You '' , `` See Me , Feel Me '' , and `` Wo n't Get Fooled Again '' . For the first time since the Super Bowl XXXIV halftime show , there was no crowd of fans surrounding the halftime stage . This performance was also released as downloadable content for the Rock Band series , named `` The Who Super Bowl S - mashup '' . Merchandising ( edit ) Retailers had ordered much more New Orleans Saints merchandise prior to the game than they had ordered Colts merchandise . The NFL estimated that US $100 million worth of Super Bowl merchandise would be sold . Game summary ( edit ) Wikinews has related news : Super Bowl XLIV : Saints defeat Colts , 31 -- 17 First quarter ( edit ) The Saints won the coin toss and chose to receive , but their first possession resulted in a punt after going three - and - out . The Colts offense took the field for the first time , with the ball spotted at their own 27 - yard line . The Colts put together a drive that went 53 yards and resulted in a 38 - yard field goal by kicker Matt Stover . At 42 years old , Stover became the oldest person in NFL history to play in a Super Bowl . Following the game 's first score , Courtney Roby returned the ensuing kickoff to the New Orleans 26 - yard line . Approaching the 25 - yard line , Roby swooped into a dive and appeared to fumble the ball , but he was ruled down by contact . This time , the Saints managed to get a first down with a 16 - yard completion from Drew Brees to Reggie Bush , but they were eventually forced to punt again . Punter Thomas Morstead pinned the Colts back at their own 4 - yard line with a 46 - yard kick . Indianapolis responded with a 96 - yard scoring drive , tying the record for the longest drive in Super Bowl history . Joseph Addai rushed three times for 53 yards on the drive , while Manning completed three passes for 35 yards , the last one a 19 - yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Pierre Garçon , increasing the Colts lead to 10 -- 0 . Second quarter ( edit ) The Saints ' next drive carried over from the previous quarter . Brees completed three passes for 36 yards as the Saints advanced to the Colts ' 22 - yard line . But on third down , Brees was sacked for a 7 - yard loss by Dwight Freeney , forcing New Orleans to settle for a 46 - yard field goal from Garrett Hartley . After scoring points on their first 2 drives , the Colts looked to add more , but Garcon dropped a pass on 3rd down . The Colts were forced to punt and the Saints took over driving down into Colt territory . They drove down the field to a 1st - and - goal at the Colts ' 3 - yard line . A false start penalty set them back to the 8 , and after getting a yard away from the end zone , they attempted 3rd and 4th down runs . They failed to convert both times . The Colts ran three straight running plays in an effort to wind down the clock and go to halftime with a seven - point lead , but the Saints kept the Colts from getting another first down . Following Bush 's 4 - yard punt return to the New Orleans 48 , with only one timeout left to use in the half , the Saints got back into field goal territory , and Hartley hit a 44 - yard field goal as time expired , with the Colts still leading 10 -- 6 . This was the first 10 -- 6 halftime score in Super Bowl history . Third quarter ( edit ) The Colts were set to receive the ball to start the second half , but were caught by surprise when the Saints executed an onside kick . This was the first onside kick attempted before the fourth quarter in Super Bowl history , a play the Saints referred to as `` Ambush . '' Thomas Morstead kicked the ball to his left , and after traveling almost 15 yards , the ball bounced off the facemask of the Colts ' Hank Baskett , who failed to make a clean recovery . Several players dove for the loose ball , creating a pile that took over a minute for the officiating crew to separate . When the dust finally cleared , linebacker Jonathan Casillas of New Orleans was officially credited with the recovery on the 42 - yard line , but Casillas and other Saints players insisted that it was actually safety Chris Reis who came up with the football . The Saints ' offense took over and stormed down the field on an effective 58 - yard drive in which they never faced a third down . Brees completed five consecutive passes for 58 yards on the drive and capped it off with a ' check - down ' pass on the right side to Pierre Thomas , who took it 16 yards to the end zone behind blocks from Jonathan Goodwin , Jahri Evans , Devery Henderson , Kyle Eckel , Carl Nicks , and Jeremy Shockey , to give the Saints their first lead of the game at 13 -- 10 . Manning and the Colts answered with their own touchdown drive , moving the ball 76 yards in ten plays . Clark caught 3 passes for 45 yards , while Joseph Addai finished the drive off with a 4 - yard touchdown run to put the Colts back on top 17 -- 13 with 6 : 05 remaining in the quarter . For just the second time in Super Bowl history both teams scored touchdowns on their initial possessions of the second half ; the only other time occurred in Super Bowl XIV . Hartley would bring the Saints to within one point of tying the game at 17 -- 16 , with his third field goal , launched from 47 yards away . In doing so he became the first kicker in Super Bowl history to score three field goals of 40 or more yards in one game . This was the first one - point lead after the third quarter in Super Bowl history and second closest game after three quarters , behind Super Bowl XXXIX which was tied between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles . Fourth quarter ( edit ) Indianapolis responded with a drive to the New Orleans 33 - yard line , only to have Stover miss a 51 - yard field goal attempt , giving the ball back to the Saints with good field position on their 41 - yard line . After that , Brees led the Saints on another touchdown drive featuring seven different players getting the ball . Bush started off the drive with a 12 - yard run , and then Devery Henderson caught a pass on the Colts ' 36 - yard line . Following an 8 - yard catch and run by Bush , Brees completed passes to Colston , Robert Meachem and tight end David Thomas , moving the ball to the 5 - yard line . After a 3 - yard run by Pierre Thomas , Brees threw a 2 - yard touchdown pass to tight end Jeremy Shockey . Rather than settle for a six - point lead , and risk a potential Colts game - winning touchdown , the Saints chanced a two - point conversion . Lance Moore received a pass and attempted to stretch the ball out over the goal line as he fell to the ground and rolled over on his head . The ball was kicked away from his hands by defender Jacob Lacey , and the play was ruled an incomplete pass , prompting a coach 's challenge from Sean Payton . After the review , the ruling on the field was overturned when it was determined that Moore maintained possession of the ball long enough and the ball had crossed the plane of the goal line for a successful conversion , giving the Saints a 24 -- 17 advantage . On the ensuing drive , Manning led the Colts into Saints territory ; however , Tracy Porter intercepted a pass by Manning at the Saints 26 for the first takeaway of the game and returned it 74 yards for a touchdown ; following the successful extra point , the Saints lead grew to 31 -- 17 with 3 : 12 remaining . Porter 's interception return for a touchdown improved teams to 10 -- 0 in Super Bowls when returning an interception for a touchdown , although that record is now 12 - 1 following Super Bowl LI . Now down by two possessions , the Colts needed a touchdown on their next drive to stay alive , though they still had all three of their timeouts to use . They were able to drive to the New Orleans 3 - yard line . When an offensive pass interference penalty on 1st and goal pushed them back 10 yards , the Colts got those 10 yards back on the next play . However , the next three plays saw a tipped pass that went off the goal post and incomplete , a loss of two yards on a rushing play , and a pass that went through the hands of wide receiver Reggie Wayne and incomplete , effectively sealing the win for the Saints . Brees knelt the ball with 0 : 44 left on the clock , ending Super Bowl XLIV and winning the Saints ' first league championship in franchise history .

After the game , Brees said , `` Four years ago , who ever thought this would be happening when 85 percent of the city was under water ? Most people left not knowing if New Orleans would ever come back , or if the organization would ever come back . We just all looked at one another and said , ' We are going to rebuild together . We are going to lean on each other . ' This is the culmination in all that belief .

Indianapolis ' place kicker Matt Stover became the oldest player to participate , as well as to score , in a Super Bowl at 42 years and 11 days of age . New Orleans ' place kicker Garrett Hartley became the first kicker in Super Bowl history to kick three field goals of 40 or more yards . New Orleans ' victory marked the sixth straight win by the team wearing its white jersey . New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees had the second highest completion percentage in Super Bowl history ( Phil Simms in Super Bowl XXI has the highest . ) Brees also tied the mark for most completions in a Super Bowl , with 32 . Drew Brees then broke the record when he made a 33rd pass completion in the game on a two - point conversion pass to Lance Moore in the 4th quarter . This was the first Super Bowl played in the formerly - named - Joe Robbie Stadium not to have a kickoff returned for a touchdown ; because the Colts did not have a return TD , they also became the 1st team ever to lose a Super Bowl at this venue without achieving that . New Orleans became the third team to win the Super Bowl after trailing at halftime AND failing to score a first - half touchdown . The New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII and the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XXVIII are the only other two teams to do so . The Saints ' 25 points in the second half is the fourth highest total in Super Bowl history . The New York Giants scored 30 in Super Bowl XXI while 28 was scored by both the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXIV and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII . The Saints also became the seventh team to win a Super Bowl after trailing to start the fourth quarter . The others to do so were : the Giants in Super Bowl XLII , the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIII , the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XVII , the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowls X and XIV and the Colts in Super Bowl V . Brees and Peyton Manning combined for a Super Bowl record 75 % completion rate ( 63 of 84 ) . They also accounted for the most combined pass completions in a Super Bowl , with 63 . The Colts became just the sixth team to score 10 or more points in the first quarter and lose the game , joining the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI , Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XIX , the Denver Broncos in both Super Bowls XXI and XXII , and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI Having been down 10 points in the first quarter , the Saints tied a record for the biggest comeback win in Super Bowl history , set in Super Bowl XXII when the Washington Redskins faced a 10 - point first quarter deficit of their own . The New England Patriots tied this record in Super Bowl XLIX and broke it in Super Bowl LI when they overcame a 25 - point deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime . The Saints are the 9th team to win the Super Bowl on their first attempt . The others are the Green Bay Packers of Super Bowl I , the New York Jets of Super Bowl III , the Pittsburgh Steelers of Super Bowl IX , the San Francisco 49ers of Super Bowl XVI , the Chicago Bears of Super Bowl XX , the New York Giants of Super Bowl XXI , the Baltimore Ravens of Super Bowl XXXV , and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of Super Bowl XXXVII .

About Super Bowl XLIV , which he ranked the fifth best , he had this to say : `` ... coming as it did five years after New Orleans was flooded in Hurricane Katrina , the Saints ' victory actually mattered . '' The Saints finished the next season with an 11 -- 5 record , but failed to defend their league title after they were eliminated by the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card playoff round . Super Bowl XLIV later became the subject of the wider New Orleans Saints bounty scandal , also known as `` Bountygate '' , in which the NFL alleged in 2012 that several Saints defenders operated a slush fund that was in operation from the 2009 season and Super Bowl XLIV , through 2011 . This alleged slush fund paid out bonuses , or `` bounties '' , for in - game performance in violation of NFL rules , including deliberately injuring or knocking opposing players out of games . The league responded with some of the most severe sanctions in the league 's 92 - year history , and among the most severe punishments for an on - field incident in North American professional sports history . In 2012 , New Orleans failed to make the playoffs for the first time since their Super Bowl win , with the sanctions for Bountygate cited as one of the primary causes . The Saints rebounded in 2013 , but were eliminated in the Divisional playoff round by the eventual Super Bowl XLVIII champion Seahawks , and have returned to the playoffs in 2018 by defeating Carolina Panthers in the Wildcard Round , but lost to Minnesota Vikings in the Divisional Rounds . Thus , New Orleans have not advanced to the Conference Championship Game since Super Bowl XLIV .

8325466604367144439 | England at the FIFA World Cup | England at the FIFA World Cup - wikipedia England at the FIFA World Cup The England national football team has competed at the FIFA World Cup since 1950 . The FIFA World Cup is the premier competitive international football tournament , first played in 1930 , whose finals stage has been held every four years since , except 1942 and 1946 , due to the Second World War . The tournament consists of two parts , the qualification phase and the final phase ( officially called the World Cup Finals ) . The qualification phase , which currently take place over the three years preceding the finals , is used to determine which teams qualify for the finals . The current format of the finals involves thirty - two teams competing for the title , at venues within the host nation ( or nations ) over a period of about a month . The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world , with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 Final . England did not enter the competition until 1950 , but have entered all eighteen subsequent tournaments . They have failed to qualify for the finals on three occasions , 1974 ( West Germany ) , 1978 ( Argentina ) and 1994 ( United States ) , and have failed to advance from the group stages on three occasions ; at the 1950 FIFA World Cup , the 1958 FIFA World Cup and the 2014 FIFA World Cup . Their best ever performance is winning the Cup in the 1966 tournament held in England , whilst they also finished in fourth place in 1990 , in Italy , and in 2018 in Russia . Other than that , the team have reached the quarter - finals on nine occasions , the latest of which were at the 2002 ( South Korea / Japan ) and the 2006 ( Germany ) . England are the only team not representing a sovereign state to win the World Cup , which they did in 1966 when they hosted the finals . They defeated West Germany 4 -- 2 after extra time to win the World Cup title . Since then , they have generally reached the knockout stages of almost every competition they have qualified for , including a fourth - place finish in the 1990 and 2018 World Cups . At the world cup , England have had more goalless draws than any other team .

The series kicked off for England on 15 October 1949 at Ninian Park , Cardiff , against Wales . Stan Mortensen gave England the lead after twenty two minutes , and just seven minutes later , Jackie Milburn doubled the lead . This was the first goal of Milburn 's hat trick , which left England 4 -- 0 up with 20 minutes to play . Mal Griffiths scored a consolation goal for Wales ten minutes from time , but England held on for a comfortable victory . A month later , England welcomed Ireland to Maine Road , and it began well for the home side as Jack Rowley scored inside six minutes . England were already 6 -- 0 up , thanks to Jack Froggatt , two for Stan Pearson , Stan Mortensen and a second from Rowley , by the time Ireland struck back through Samuel Smyth after 55 minutes . Rowley added a third and a fourth to his tally in the three minutes following Smyth 's goal , however , leaving the score at 8 -- 1 at the hour mark . The frantic scoring rate calmed down after that , with only one apeice before the final whistle , with Stan Pearson completing his brace for England 's ninth , and Bobby Brennan scoring for Ireland . It was not until May 1950 that England travelled to Hampden Park to face Scotland , who were also undefeated after their games against Ireland and Wales . With the top two from the group qualifying , both teams were guaranteed progression to the finals , and the game was solely for the honour of winning the British Home Championship , and the seeding advantage to be enjoyed upon reaching Brazil . A solitary goal from Roy Bentley gave England the victory , the title and the top spot in the group . 1950 finals ( edit ) England were seeded in pot one for the finals , which meant they were the favourites to progress from Group 2 , which also contained Spain , Chile and the United States . England 's campaign kicked off against Chile in Rio de Janeiro , and , as was expected , England cruised to a 2 -- 0 victory , courtesy of goals from Stan Mortensen and Wilf Mannion . Main article : United States v England ( 1950 FIFA World Cup ) Their troubles began four days later when they faced the Americans in Belo Horizonte in what has become one of the most famous matches of all time . Joe Gaetjens scored the only goal of the match to give the United States an unlikely victory , which has gone down as one of the World Cup 's greatest upsets . A myth arose that the English newspapers were so confident of an English victory that when the result was telegrammed back , they assumed a misprint and printed the score as 10 -- 1 in England 's favour . However , this has proven to be untrue . This left England in a sticky situation prior to their final match , against Spain in Rio . They needed to win , and for Chile to beat the United States to stand any chance of going through , and even then they would need the goal averages to fall in their favour . As it turned out , no such calculations were necessary , despite Chile 's victory , as Spain 's Zarra scored the only goal of the game , eliminating England from the competition . Switzerland 1954 ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main articles : 1954 FIFA World Cup and 1953 -- 54 British Home Championship As with their first World Cup , England 's qualifying for the 1954 edition also constituted the 1953 -- 54 British Home Championship . They played Wales at Ninian Park as their first match once again , and the 4 -- 1 result was the same . However , unlike four years earlier , it was the home side that went into the lead , after twenty two minutes through Ivor Allchurch . Despite being 1 -- 0 down at half time , England scored four within eight minutes of the restart ; two each for Dennis Wilshaw and Nat Lofthouse . Goodison Park was the venue for England 's home clash against Ireland , who were newly renamed Northern Ireland . Harold Hassall got England off to a good start with a goal after just ten minutes . Eddie McMorran put the Irish back on terms just before the hour mark , but Hassall completed his brace six minutes later . Lofthouse completed a comfortable 3 -- 1 win for England . With the top two in the group qualifying for the finals , the final game between England and Scotland , at Hampden Park , settled nothing except the placings within the group , despite Scotland having dropped a point with a 3 -- 3 draw at home to Wales . Allan Brown put the home side ahead after just seven minutes , but it was all square again thanks to Ivor Broadis just four minutes later . Johnny Nicholls gave England the lead for the first time just after half time , and they began to extend a lead after Ronnie Allen 's 68th - minute goal . Jimmy Mullen made the game all but certain seven minutes from time , and although Willie Ormond scored a consolation for Scotland with just 1 minute to play , England topped the competition for the second time in a row . 1954 finals ( edit ) England were drawn in Group 4 for the finals , with hosts Switzerland , Italy and Belgium . In an odd twist , unique to the 1954 tournament , England and Italy , as the two seeded teams in the group , did not have to play each other . Equally , Switzerland and Belgium did not have to play each other . England 's first game in Switzerland was against Belgium in Basel , and they suffered a shock as Léopold Anoul put the Belgians into the lead after just five minutes . Ivor Broadis put the favourites back on terms just over twenty minutes later , and although Nat Lofthouse gave England the lead 10 minutes later , it was proving to be tougher than they had expected against the Belgians . Broadis scored his second just after the hour , but Henri Coppens hit back four minutes later to keep Belgium in the game at only 3 -- 2 down . Anoul completed his brace another four minutes after that to level the scores again . In another oddity peculiar to this World Cup , drawn matches in the group stage would go to extra time , and as such the teams played on with the score at 3 -- 3 . Just one minute into the added period , Lofthouse added a fourth for England and they seemed to have won it , but Jimmy Dickinson scored an own goal three minutes later to put the score back at 4 -- 4 . It stayed this way until the extra period was up , and as penalty shoot - outs were yet to be invented and replays were not used in the group , the match was recorded as a draw . England 's second and final group game was against the hosts in Bern . This proved to be an easier game for the Three Lions , and they scored one goal in each half ( from Jimmy Mullen and Dennis Wilshaw respectively ) to give them a comfortable win of 2 -- 0 . As Switzerland ( against England ) , Italy ( against Switzerland ) and Belgium ( against Italy ) had all lost one game , England progressed as group winners , along with Switzerland , who won a play - off against Italy . England faced the winners of group three and defending champions Uruguay in the quarter - finals . Carlos Borges gave the South Americans the lead inside 5 minutes , but Lofthouse put England back on terms ten minutes later . England were clearly struggling , but held on until just before half time , when Obdulio Varela gave the lead back Uruguay . Juan Alberto Schiaffino doubled the lead just after the break , but Tom Finney kept England 's foot in the door with his sixty seventh - minute goal . However , it was all over after Javier Ambrois restored the two goal lead with twelve minutes to play . The score remained at 4 -- 2 , and England were eliminated from the cup . Sweden 1958 ( edit ) Main article : 1958 FIFA World Cup For the first time , England had to play against countries other than the Home Nations to reach the Finals in Sweden . They were drawn against the Republic of Ireland and Denmark . In the qualifying round , England won three out of the four games and drew the other . Four months before the World Cup , Roger Byrne , Duncan Edwards , David Pegg and Tommy Taylor all lost their lives in the Munich air disaster while playing for Manchester United . At the finals , which is the only tournament to have seen all Home Nations take part , the Home Nations were all drawn in different groups . England were drawn against the Soviet Union ( 2 -- 2 ) , Brazil ( 0 -- 0 ) and Austria ( 2 -- 2 ) , who finished third in the 1954 World Cup . At the end of the group stage , Soviet Union and England each had three points , and had scored four goals and conceded four goals . This meant there was a play - off to decide the second - placed team in the group , the winner to qualify . England lost the play - off 1 -- 0 and were thus knocked out . The only consolation for England was that they were the only team to play the eventual winners Brazil and not lose . Chile 1962 ( edit ) Main article : 1962 FIFA World Cup The third World Cup which took place in South America , saw England qualify by successfully qualifying from the group , which contained Portugal and Luxembourg , defeating Luxembourg on both occasions , and defeating Portugal at home , and drawing in Lisbon . At the finals , England were drawn in a group with Hungary , Argentina and Bulgaria . England defeated Argentina 3 - 1 , thanks to goals from Ron Flowers , Bobby Charlton and Jimmy Greaves , before playing out a goalless draw with Bulgaria , and a 2 -- 1 defeat to Hungary . England finished in second place behind Hungary and played the winners of group 3 , defending champions Brazil , in the quarter - finals . Brazil scored first through Garrincha , before an equaliser for Gerry Hitchens before half time . However , second - half goals from Garrincha and Vavá meant Brazil won the game 3 -- 1 , and eliminated England from the competition . This defeat was manager Walter Winterbottom 's last game in charge . Winterbottom had led England to four World Cup Finals . From May 1963 , Alf Ramsey became the manager of England . England 1966 ( edit ) Main article : 1966 FIFA World Cup This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( July 2018 ) In the 1966 World Cup Finals , England used their home advantage and , under Ramsey , won their first , and only , World Cup title . England played all their games at Wembley Stadium in London , which became the last time that the hosts were granted this privilege . After drawing 0 -- 0 in the opening game against former champions Uruguay , which started a run of four games all ending goalless . England then beat both France and Mexico 2 -- 0 and qualified for the quarter - finals . The quarter - finals saw England play Argentina , which ended in a 1 -- 0 win to England . This match saw the start of the rivalry between England and Argentina , when Argentinian Antonio Rattín was dismissed by German referee Rudolf Kreitlein in a very fierce game . A 2 -- 1 win against Portugal in the semi-final then followed . Portugal were the first team to score against England in the tournament . The final saw England play West Germany , with the result finishing in a 4 -- 2 win for England , after extra time . Mexico 1970 ( edit ) Main article : 1970 FIFA World Cup 1970 saw the first World Cup finals take place in North America and England qualified automatically for the tournament by winning the 1966 FIFA World Cup . England were drawn in a group with Romania , former world champions Brazil and Czechoslovakia . Each of the matches only saw one goal , with England defeating Romania and Czechoslovakia , and losing to Brazil . The quarter - final saw a repeat of the 1966 final , with England playing West Germany . England were hampered by the fact that first - choice goalkeeper Gordon Banks was ill , and Peter Bonetti played instead . England led 2 -- 0 with goals by Alan Mullery and Martin Peters , but in the 70th minute , Franz Beckenbauer pulled one goal back for West Germany . After Beckenbauer 's goal , Ramsey substituted Bobby Charlton , who overtook Billy Wright as England 's most capped player ever , with caps totalling 106 . Uwe Seeler equalised for the Germans in the eighty first minute , thereby taking the game into extra time . During extra time , Gerd Müller scored the winning goal for West Germany which saw the German side win 3 -- 2 . This turned out to be Charlton 's last game for England . West Germany 1974 ( edit ) Main article : 1974 FIFA World Cup qualification For the first time , England did not qualify for a World Cup . In a group with Olympic champions Poland and Wales , England could not overtake Poland . After only drawing at home to Wales 1 -- 1 and losing the first leg 2 -- 0 to Poland , meant that England had to beat Poland at home , whilst Poland only needed to draw . Poland managed to withstand England 's attacks in the first half , who had Martin Peters playing for them . Poland took the lead in the 57th minute with a goal from Jan Domarski . England equalised six minutes later , with a penalty converted by Allan Clarke . England were unable to score any more goals with goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski keeping England at bay . Brian Clough had previously called Tomaszewski a `` clown '' . The commentator of the game then said `` it 's all over '' . Poland took this good form to the finals and ended in third place . After failing to qualify , Alf Ramsey resigned from his post and after a time , where Ramsey and his predecessor had lasted a total of 29 years , no manager was able to last in the job for longer than eight years . This ended when Bobby Robson became England manager . Argentina 1978 ( edit ) See also : 1978 FIFA World Cup qualification This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) England also did not qualify for the fourth World Cup which took place in South America . This time , England were denied by Italy , who had scored three more goals than England after both teams finished on the same points . Goals scored dictated who qualified after the head - to - head record between the two sides finished the same , following a 2 -- 0 home win for each team . The lower - ranked teams in the group were Finland and Luxembourg , but the size of the wins against them proved to be decisive . Nevertheless , Ron Greenwood was given a second chance in charge of England , after taking the role in 1977 . Spain 1982 ( edit ) Main article : 1982 FIFA World Cup 1982 saw the first time where the European Qualifying Rounds were divided into groups of five teams , where the top two teams qualify for the World Cup . Greenwood used his second chance and took England to Spain by finishing second behind Hungary and above Romania , Switzerland and Norway . At the finals , England won all three group games , defeating France 3 - 1 , with a brace from Bryan Robson , before beating Czechoslovakia 2 -- 0 , with a Jozef Barmos own goal , and World Cup newcomers Kuwait 1 -- 0 , thanks to a Trevor Francis goal . The next round saw a second group stage consisting of three teams , a first time event at the World Cup . England drew with West Germany 0 -- 0 and after the Germans beat Spain 2 -- 1 , England then had to beat Spain with a two - goal difference to progress to the next round . England , however , only managed a 0 -- 0 draw against the Spanish . England remained unbeaten at the end of the tournament . After the World Cup , Ron Greenwood 's time as England manager ended , and he was replaced by Bobby Robson . Mexico 1986 ( edit ) Main article : 1986 FIFA World Cup This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) 1986 saw the second World Cup to take place in Mexico . England qualified for Mexico 1986 by winning four games and drawing four times against Northern Ireland , who qualified in second place , Romania , Finland and Turkey . In Mexico , England lost their opening game to Portugal 1 -- 0 and could only manage a goalless draw against Morocco . The final group game , however , saw England beat Poland 3 -- 0 , which is one of the three highest scores for England at the World Cup , with Gary Lineker scoring a hat - trick . This result took England to second place and finished behind Morocco . England then also beat Paraguay 3 -- 0 in the Round of 16 . In the quarter - finals , England renewed their rivalry with Argentina in a game that has become notorious for the Argentina goals , both scored by Diego Maradona . Maradona 's first goal , known as the Hand of God , was illegal and should not have counted , as he used his hand to punch the ball into the net . However , the referee missed this infringement , and ruled that the goal should stand . Maradona then made the score 2 - 0 , famously dribbling from inside Argentina 's half and around several English players before scoring . Gary Lineker pulled back the score to 2 - 1 , but England ran out of time to equalise , and were eliminated . Nevertheless , Lineker finished with the Golden Boot by scoring six goals and thereby becoming England 's first Golden Boot winner . Italy 1990 ( edit ) Main article : 1990 FIFA World Cup By winning three and drawing three , England qualified for Italia ' 90 , the second World Cup to be held in Italy , scoring ten goals and conceding none . England were unbeaten through qualification , winning three games , and drawing the remaining three , but still finished second to Sweden , whom they drew with twice . England profited from Romania 's 3 -- 1 win over Denmark , who , had they won , would have qualified as the third - best second - placed team . West Germany and England were able to qualify for Italia ' 90 as the best second - placed teams in the groups with four teams . Because a few years previously saw English hooligans at European competition matches , England were forced to play their group games on Sardinia and Sicily . In group F , was the European champions Netherlands , the Republic of Ireland and Egypt and England . After opening the tournament with a 1 -- 1 draw against Ireland and a 0 -- 0 draw against the Dutch , England then beat Egypt 1 -- 0 . This was Egypt 's first appearance since the 1934 World Cup . England won the group with four points . In the next round , England had to play Belgium . The game went to extra time , and in the hundredth and nineteenth minute , David Platt scored the winning goal . England also had to play extra time against Cameroon in the quarter - finals . Cameroon were the first African team to have reached the quarter - finals . England opened the scoring through David Platt , but Cameroon quickly turned around the game to lead 2 - 1 . Lineker subsequently won and scored a penalty in the 83rd minute to ensure the game went to extra time . He then scored a second penalty , to see England reach the semi-finals . In the semi-finals , England met West Germany . There was no separating the two teams after 90 minutes , which made England the first team to have played extra time in three successive World Cup games . There was also no separating the two teams after extra time , thereby taking the game to penalties . Although English goalkeeper Peter Shilton dived the right way for every penalty , he was unable to save any . German goalkeeper Bodo Illgner , having failed to save any of England 's first three penalties , saved England 's fourth penalty , taken by Stuart Pearce . Olaf Thon then scored for Germany , meaning that England 's Chris Waddle would have to score his fifth penalty and hope that Shilton saved the Germans ' fifth penalty . However , Waddle 's penalty missed completely , going high over the crossbar , thereby resulting in England 's being knocked out of the competition . The third - place playoff between England and Italy saw England lose their only game of the tournament in normal time . Even though this was England 's best finish since the 1966 World Cup , Bobby Robson 's time as England manager had come to an end . United States 1994 ( edit ) Main article : 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification For the 1994 World Cup in the United States , under the leadership of new manager Graham Taylor , England surprisingly did not qualify for the tournament . In a group with six teams , England lost to Norway and the Netherlands , finishing third above Poland , Turkey and San Marino . England went into their final game with San Marino knowing they would need a seven - goal victory and for Poland to beat the Netherlands in the other match in order to qualify . In the game against San Marino , Davide Gualtieri scored against England after nine seconds , taking the lead for the outsiders . England went on to win 7 -- 1 , which was too small a goal margin . Additionally , despite the half - time score between the Poles and the Dutch being 1 - 1 , the Dutch went on to win 3 - 1 , meaning that however many goals England scored , they could still not qualify . Taylor 's tenure in charge ended and he was replaced by Terry Venables , who was dismissed after England lost the semi-final of Euro 1996 , hosted in England . France 1998 ( edit ) Main article : 1998 FIFA World Cup After missing out on the World Cup in 1994 , England , managed by Glenn Hoddle , qualified for the World Cup in France . England were drawn in Group 2 of UEFA qualifying with Italy , Poland , Georgia and Moldova . England beat Poland , Georgia and Moldova both home and away , but a home defeat to Italy in their fourth match meant they went into the final qualifier at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome just a point ahead of the Azzurri and only needing a draw to qualify automatically ; defeat would see them have to navigate a play - off to secure qualification . The match finished as a goalless draw and England finished top of the group . At the finals in France , England played in Group G. England defeated Tunisia 2 -- 0 in the first game , with goals from Alan Shearer and Paul Scholes . Their second match saw England lose 2 -- 1 to Romania ; despite an 81st - minute equaliser from Michael Owen , Dan Petrescu scored a winner shortly before injury time . In their final group game , England defeated Colombia 2 -- 0 in the decisive match , thanks to goals from midfielders Darren Anderton and David Beckham . England finished second in Group G , which saw them qualify for the last 16 phase , and play the winner of 1998 FIFA World Cup Group H , Argentina . In a fiery game containing six yellow cards and two penalties , David Beckham was controversially sent off in the 47th minute for what many felt was at most a yellow card offence , knocking over Diego Simeone . Gabriel Batistuta opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the fifth minute of the game , before an equaliser also from the spot by Alan Shearer four minutes later . England took the lead through Owen , in the 16th minute . Argentina drew level through Javier Zanetti in injury time of the first half . The game finished 2 - 2 , and , as neither team were able to find a winner in extra time , penalties were needed to decide the team that qualified to the next round . While David Seaman did save one penalty , Argentine goalkeeper Carlos Roa managed to save two , including the vital one from David Batty , thereby knocking England out of the World Cup . Beckham subsequently received death threats and was sent bullets in the post . South Korea / Japan 2002 ( edit ) Main article : 2002 FIFA World Cup In 2002 the World Cup took place in Asia for the first time . England , under its first ever foreign manager in Swedish Sven - Göran Eriksson , were able to qualify for the tournament . England were drawn in Group 9 , alongside Germany , Finland , Greece and Albania . In the last ever game in the original Wembley Stadium , ( which closed after the match ) England played Germany , losing 1 -- 0 , the only goal scored by Dietmar Hamann . The match was the last under the management of Kevin Keegan , who resigned at the end of the match , and was replaced by Eriksson . By beating Germany 5 -- 1 in Munich , England 's qualifying campaign was revitalised , and they qualified automatically , by drawing 2 -- 2 with Greece . Germany , who could only draw 0 -- 0 with Finland , had to play a play - off game against Ukraine , with England qualifying ahead winning the group . In Japan , England had to play against Eriksson 's homeland , Sweden , and both settled out for a 1 -- 1 draw . England and Beckham gained a measure of revenge for their previous 1998 defeat in defeating Argentina 1 - 0 , thanks to a Beckham penalty . However , England could only manage a disappointing 0 - 0 draw against Nigeria , meaning that although they were able to qualify for the second round , where they played Denmark , they qualified as runners up , which meant that they would meet favourites Brazil in the quarter - finals if they qualified . England played Denmark in the round of 16 defeating Denmark 3 -- 0 , thanks to goals from Micheal Owen , Rio Ferdinand , and Emile Heskey . England played four - time World Cup winners and 1998 runners - up Brazil in the quarter - finals . Despite leading through a Michael Owen goal , a mistake by David Seaman saw England lose 2 -- 1 , and Brazil won their fourth World Cup match against England , and went on to win the tournament . Germany 2006 ( edit ) Main article : 2006 FIFA World Cup England were drawn into Group 6 of European qualifying for the 2006 World Cup . The group featured other home nations in Wales , and Northern Ireland , as well as Poland ( who had eliminated England the last time the World Cup took place in Germany ) , Azerbaijan and Austria . England won eight of the 10 games , and qualified as group winners , in front of Portugal , despite drawing to Austria in Vienna , and losing to Northern Ireland in Belfast . In Germany , however , England were less convincing . England played in Group B , alongside Paraguay , Trinidad and Tobago , and Sweden . England started with a 1 -- 0 win against Paraguay ; which was won due to a 3rd minute own goal . The second game against first time qualifiers Trinidad and Tobago saw England have to wait until the 83rd minute for England to take the lead , with Peter Crouch opened the scoring with a goal many felt was illegal , and the second goal of the game coming in added time from Steven Gerrard . The last group game saw England play against Sweden , where an eventual 2 - 2 draw saw them qualify for the next round as group winners , thereby avoiding playing hosts Germany . In the last 16 stage , a free kick from David Beckham saw England win 1 -- 0 against Ecuador and reach the quarter - finals , where they faced Portugal . The game finished goalless , and England once again were knocked out on penalties and Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo became the first goalkeeper to save three penalties in a penalty shoot - out . Ricardo saved from Frank Lampard , Steven Gerrard , and Jamie Carragher ; the only England player who successfully converted his penalty was Owen Hargreaves . Portugal won the shoot - out 3 - 1 , despite misses from Petit and Hugo Viana . This game was also Erickson 's final match as England manager . South africa 2010 ( edit ) Main article : 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualification for the first African World Cup went successfully for new England manager Fabio Capello , after previous manager Steve McClaren was unable to secure qualification to the Euro 2008 . By winning nine times and only losing to Ukraine , England qualified ahead of Croatia , Belarus , Kazakhstan and Andorra . England 's group was seen as a favourable one , containing comparatively much weaker teams . However , England opened up their campaign with a 1 -- 1 draw against the United States , thanks to a major error by goalkeeper Robert Green . They then drew 0 -- 0 against Algeria and were booed off the field by their own fans , drawing the ire of striker Wayne Rooney . England eventually qualified for the next round by beating Slovenia 1 -- 0 , but only qualified as runners up to the United States , thereby meaning they would draw favourites Germany . In the second round match , Germany took the lead after 20 minutes after goalkeeper Manuel Neuer played the ball down the pitch to Miroslav Klose , who opened the scoring . The score became 2 -- 0 to Germany after 32 minutes . Shortly after , England defender Matthew Upson scored a header . Later , Frank Lampard had a shot at goal which was disallowed despite crossing the line ; which was confirmed on replays . German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer admitted subsequently he knew the ball had crossed the line , but decided to deceive the referee . The German media reported it was `` revenge for Wembley '' , while the English media criticised FIFA 's refusal to implement goal - line technology . Ironically , despite his earlier opposition to goal - line technology , Sepp Blatter said that it should be introduced after a Ukrainian goal against England at Euro 2012 was ruled out . As England tried to equalise , Germany used this to their advantage and scored two more goals . This became Germany 's biggest win against England in a World Cup , winning 4 - 1 . Brazil 2014 ( edit ) Main article : 2014 FIFA World Cup Under Roy Hodgson , who replaced Fabio Capello after Euro 2012 after a disagreement between Capello and The FA , England qualified for the second World Cup to be held in Brazil . Ukraine were again one of the opponents in the qualifying rounds . The other opponents included Montenegro , Poland , Moldova and San Marino . After winning six games and drawing four , England qualified unbeaten . The draw for the finals saw England have to play against Italy and Uruguay , both former world champions , which meant that it was the first ever time three World Champions were drawn in the same group , along with Costa Rica . England lost to Italy and Uruguay , and were thus knocked out after two games . The final match against Costa Rica finished as a goalless draw . This performance was statistically their worst ever performance at a World Cup , ending up with just one point after two losses to Uruguay and Italy and a goalless draw with Costa Rica in the dead rubber match , their lowest points total in the group stage of a world cup . Russia 2018 ( edit ) Main article : 2018 FIFA World Cup England played in UEFA Group F in qualification for the 2018 World Cup , in a group of six with Slovakia , Slovenia , Scotland , Lithuania and Malta , with only the winner of the group guaranteed qualification . England went into the qualification process under manager Sam Allardyce , only for Allardyce to leave the post after just one game due to controversy regarding discussing breaking FIFA rules . Under Allardyce 's replacement , Gareth Southgate , England went undefeated throughout qualification , winning eight matches out of 10 , drawing with Slovenia 0 -- 0 in Ljubljana , and drawing 2 -- 2 with Scotland in Glasgow thanks to a 90th - minute equaliser from Harry Kane . This was the third successive major tournament that England were undefeated , having been undefeated in 2014 World Cup , and Euro 2016 qualifying . 2018 finals ( edit ) England national team at the 2018 World Cup in Russia Under Gareth Southgate , the England team began their tournament in group G against Tunisia . The game started well for England with a goal from Harry Kane in the 11th minute . Tunisia equalised through Sassi from the penalty spot in the 35th minute following a foul by Kyle Walker . Some controversy followed as various potential offences against Harry Kane , inside the penalty area were ignored by the referee and no VAR checks were carried out . England persevered and scored a second goal in the 91st minute , again by Harry Kane , resulting in a 2 -- 1 victory . In the second group stage match , England surpassed their record for goals scored in a World Cup match by beating Panama 6 - 1 . Jesse Lingard scored the third goal , John Stones scored the first and fourth goals and Harry Kane scored a hat - trick with the second , fifth and sixth goals . In the final group stage match , England narrowly lost 1 - 0 to Belgium . Adnan Januzaj scored the sole goal of the game ; but with both teams having fielded reserve teams , with England specificially making 9 changes . Before the game media outlets stating that a loss could potentially become beneficial , as the winner would be in the half of the draw with four of the top seven sides in the world . The result that meant Belgium topped the group and England finished second , setting up a last 16 clash with Group H winners Colombia . England played their last 16 match in the Otkritie Arena , Moscow , with the same team as against Tunisia . Harry Kane scored his sixth goal of the tournament , and the third penalty , after once again being fouled in the box from a corner , similarly as against Panama . The score remained at 1 - 0 , until stoppage time , where a header from Yerry Mina beat Jordan Pickford in goal to bring the game to extra time . Neither team managed to score in extra time , and the match went to penalties , which England won 4 - 3 . As well as being the first knockout match England had won at a major tournament since 2006 ( last defeating Ecuador in the last 16 ) ; it was the first time England won a World Cup penalty shoot - out . The match was notable for the heated atmosphere the game was played in , with a total of eight yellow cards being shown in the match . England played against Sweden in their quarter - final at Cosmos Arena , Samara on 7 July 2018 . They won the match 2 -- 0 , with defender Harry Maguire scoring his first England goal , a header scored from a corner , and Dele Alli a second header from close range . This would send them through to their third World Cup semi-final and their first since 1990 , and third overall . The team played Croatia in the semi-final , resulting in a 2 -- 1 loss after extra time . England would later finish fourth in the competition , the best result since 1990 . England would lose again to Belgium in the 3rd place playoff , thanks to goals from Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard , despite a Eric Dier shot being cleared off the line by Toby Alderweireld . The tournament would see England score nine goals from set - pieces -- the most by a team in a single World Cup tournament since 1966 .

( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Four FIFA World Cup finals were officiated by English referees , more than by any other football association . The first Englishman to officiate a final , George Reader , is also the oldest World Cup referee to date , as he was 53 years and 236 days old at the 1950 decisive match between Uruguay and Brazil . The other final referees are William Ling ( 1954 ) , Jack Taylor ( 1974 ) and Howard Webb ( 2010 ) . Arthur Ellis , who was a linesman at the 1950 final , is part of an elite group of referees who has been called up for three consecutive World Cups ( 1950 -- 1958 ) .

"England did not enter the competition until 1950, but have entered all eighteen subsequent tournaments.[a] They have failed to qualify for the finals on three occasions, 1974 (West Germany), 1978 (Argentina) and 1994 (United States), and have failed to advance from the group stages on three occasions; at the 1950 FIFA World Cup, the 1958 FIFA World Cup and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Their best ever performance is winning the Cup in the 1966 tournament held in England, whilst they also finished in fourth place in 1990, in Italy, and in 2018 in Russia. Other than that, the team have reached the quarter-finals on nine occasions, the latest of which were at the 2002 (South Korea/Japan) and the 2006 (Germany).[b]\n"

Written by Ric Ocasek , the track was sung by bassist Benjamin Orr and produced by Robert John `` Mutt '' Lange with the band . Upon its release , `` Drive '' became The Cars ' highest charting single in the United States , peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart ; on the Adult Contemporary chart , the song went to No. 1 . It reached No. 5 ( No. 4 on re-entry in 1985 ) in the United Kingdom , No. 4 in West Germany , No. 6 in Canada and No. 3 ( No. 5 on re-entry in 1985 ) in Ireland . The song is associated with the July 1985 Live Aid event , where it was performed by Benjamin Orr during the Philadelphia event ; previously , the song was used as the background music to a montage of clips depicting the contemporaneous Ethiopian famine during the London event , which was introduced by English musician David Bowie . Following the concert it was re-released in the UK and peaked at No. 4 in August 1985 . Proceeds from the sales of the re-released song raised nearly £ 160,000 for the Band Aid Trust : Ocasek presented the charity 's trustee Midge Ure with a cheque for the amount while he was in London in November 1986 promoting his solo album This Side of Paradise . In a retrospective review of the single , AllMusic journalist Donald A. Guarisco praised the song for being `` a gorgeous ballad that matches heartfelt songwriting to an alluring electronic soundscape . The music reflects the lyrical tone with a lovely melody that rises and falls in a soothing yet sad fashion .

The video alternates between shots of Orr sitting in a disused nightclub , facing mannequins posed at the bar as customers and bartender , and scenes that depict the breakdown of a relationship between the characters played by Ocasek and Porizkova . Ultimately left alone , the woman cries and laughs hysterically for a time before visiting the nightclub . She looks sadly in through a dirty window at the stage , where tuxedo - clad mannequins of the band members are posed with their instruments as if playing a show , and turns to walk away as the video ends . Hutton later recalled that his directing the video came about because he was living next to Elliot Roberts , the manager of The Cars . They were listening to tracks from the then - unreleased album Heartbeat City and Hutton told Roberts he was particularly impressed by the track `` Drive . '' At that time , everybody was making videos . It was the height of MTV , and when you made a record , you were also thinking about the video . I talked to Elliott about how much I liked that song `` Drive , '' and I started describing all the different ways I thought they could go with it , as far as the video . And he said , `` You know , everything you 're saying sounds really interesting . Do you mind if ... Would you be up for me passing that concept along to Ric Ocasek ? '' I said , `` Sure ! '' So he got back to me the next day and said , `` Ric and I think you should direct the video . We love your idea , your take on it . '' So that 's how that happened . And about a month later , I was in New York at the Astoria Studios over two days , filming the video . Hutton and Ric Ocasek became friends which led to the latter being cast in Made in Heaven .

The album was produced by composer John Williams and distributed by DreamWorks Records . Recorded in Symphony Hall , Boston , Massachusetts , the scores were performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra , with two of the ten compositions featuring vocals from the Tanglewood Festival Chorus . The soundtrack runs for almost an hour , while the film itself lasts over two hours . Throughout the compositions , brass , string , and horn instruments were used to evoke a variety of emotions and tones . The soundtrack received mixed reviews from critics , but was still nominated for several major awards , of which it won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television . Soundtrack opener `` Hymn to the Fallen '' received some radio play , in particular on the United States holidays Veterans Day and Memorial Day . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Reception 3 Track listing 4 Credits 5 Release history 6 References 6.1 Citations 6.2 Bibliography Background ( edit ) Steven Spielberg and John Williams had worked together on fifteen films before Saving Private Ryan ( 1998 ) . The score was recorded at Symphony Hall in Boston , Massachusetts with the assistance of the Boston Symphony Orchestra . After having recorded the re-edited version Close Encounters of the Third Kind ( 1977 ) and some Schindler 's List ( 1993 ) at Symphony Hall previously , this was the third time Spielberg and Williams worked on a soundtrack at this location . Spielberg chose Symphony Hall as the site for the recording because the hall gives `` rich , warm sound off the walls and ceiling '' and allows you to `` hear the air , '' which some soundstages do not allow you to do . Spielberg stated he chose to work with the Boston Symphony Orchestra because the film deals with a `` company of soldiers '' and the orchestra was an `` experienced company of musicians . '' Over the course of a three - day period in February 1998 , the score for the film was recorded at a rate of around $100,000 an hour . Spielberg and Williams both watched a rough cut of the film to determine what scenes would have music . The two decided to leave music out of the fighting sequences , in favor of playing it over long sequences of eight to nine minutes that lack action . The playing of music between fighting sequences gives a moment of reflection for what happened . Tom Hanks came to a portion of the recording session and read the Bixby letter -- which appears in the movie -- to the orchestra at the behest of Williams . This caused the musicians to shuffle their feet in appreciation . Williams chose to use different families and types of instruments to convey and evoke certain tones within the score . String instruments were chosen to provide a warm sound , brass instruments were utilized for `` solemn '' sections of the pieces , and horn instruments were used to give off a pensive tone . Military drums were used largely in the piece entitled `` Hymn to the Fallen . '' The Tanglewood Festival Chorus provided a vocal chorus for `` Hymn to the Fallen '' that served as a memory to those who have fallen in combat . `` Hymn to the Fallen '' and its reprise are the only two tracks that feature any sort of vocals and bookend the album . Spielberg chose to place `` Hymn to the Fallen '' on the closing credits because it will `` stand the test of time and honor forever the fallen of this war and possibly all wars '' and felt it showed Williams ' `` sensitivity and brilliance . '' The album was released on July 21 , 1998 . Reception ( edit ) Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic SoundtrackNet Author Emilio Audissino felt that the music offered no `` perspective '' like Williams ' scores normally do , but were instead rooted in emotion . Classic FM believed that despite the restrictions placed on Williams , he still managed to create a `` moving theme . '' Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic agreed , stating Williams added `` sentiment wherever he could nonetheless . '' Hillel Italie of the Associated Press found the soundtrack to be `` bland '' and `` out of place . '' Richard Harrington of The Washington Post found the soundtrack created by Williams to be `` quietly heroic , full of survivalist determination and pragmatic melancholy . '' In regard to all of Williams ' soundtracks for Spielberg films , Harrington believed that this soundtrack was the most `` subtle . '' Calgary Herald writers felt Williams ' created a `` reflective score '' that `` is sensitive without sensationalizing the subject . '' The Sun 's Ian Black compared the music for Flags of Our Fathers ( 2006 ) with that of Saving Private Ryan stating that it was `` nowhere close '' to the latter . Barbera Vancheri of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote that `` John Williams ' symphonic score soars in the background like church music . '' Edmonton Journal writer Ted Shaw found the `` meditative quality '' of Williams ' score to be a surprise when compared to the intensity of the fighting sequences . He added that the music was an `` elevating '' component of the film . Thomas Doherty also noted that the music `` lacks the bombast of the incoming shells , '' stating that it was `` quietly martial '' with its use of trumpets and mild percussion . In addition to the film itself , the soundtrack received several nominations for various awards . The score won the Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television . In addition , the score was nominated for Academy Award for Best Original Dramatic Score , the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score , and the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music , but failed to win the awards . In 2003 , the Cleveland Institute of Music published a list of uplifting classical music pieces that featured `` Hymn to the Fallen '' and `` Omaha Beach . '' Within the United States , `` Hymn to the Fallen '' received minor radio airplay on Veterans Day and Memorial Day . Classic FM voted the soundtrack to its `` Movie Music Hall of Fame '' that consists of the top 100 movie soundtracks chosen by fan votes . The soundtrack placed sixteenth on the list , two places lower than the previous year . Portions of the score were used in the `` No Casino Gettysburg '' videos that were created in opposition of building a casino on the grounds of Gettysburg , Pennsylvania where the Battle of Gettysburg was fought .

For other uses , see The Night Before Christmas ( disambiguation ) and ' Twas the Night Before Christmas ( disambiguation ) . ' Twas the night before Christmas , when all thro ' the house Not a creature was stirring , not even a mouse ; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care , In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there ; The children were nestled all snug in their beds , While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads And Mama in her ' kerchief , and I in my cap , Had just settled our brains for a long winter 's nap -- When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter , I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter . Away to the window I flew like a flash , Tore open the shutters , and threw up the sash . The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow , Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below ; When , what to my wondering eyes should appear , But a miniature sleigh , and eight tiny reindeer , With a little old driver , so lively and quick , I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick . More rapid than eagles his coursers they came , And he whistled , and shouted , and call 'd them by name : `` Now ! Dasher , now ! Dancer , now ! Prancer and Vixen , `` On ! Comet , on ! Cupid , on ! Dunder and Blixem ; `` To the top of the porch ! To the top of the wall ! `` Now dash away ! Dash away ! Dash away all ! '' As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly , When they meet with an obstacle , mount to the sky ; So up to the house - top the coursers they flew , With the sleigh full of toys -- and St. Nicholas too : And then in a twinkling , I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof . As I drew in my head , and was turning around , Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound : He was dress 'd all in fur , from his head to his foot , And his clothes were all tarnish 'd with ashes and soot ; A bundle of toys was flung on his back , And he look 'd like a peddler just opening his pack : His eyes -- how they twinkled ! His dimples : how merry , His cheeks were like roses , his nose like a cherry ; His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow , And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow ; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth , And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath . He had a broad face , and a little round belly That shook when he laugh 'd , like a bowl full of jelly : He was chubby and plump , a right jolly old elf , And I laugh 'd when I saw him in spite of myself ; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread . He spoke not a word , but went straight to his work , And fill 'd all the stockings ; then turn 'd with a jerk , And laying his finger aside of his nose And giving a nod , up the chimney he rose . He sprung to his sleigh , to his team gave a whistle , And away they all flew , like the down of a thistle : But I heard him exclaim , ere he drove out of sight -- Happy Christmas to all , and to all a good night . `` A Visit from St. Nicholas '' , more commonly known as `` The Night Before Christmas '' and `` ' Twas the Night Before Christmas '' from its first line , is a poem first published anonymously in 1823 and later attributed to Clement Clarke Moore , who claimed authorship in 1837 . Some commentators now believe the poem was written by Henry Livingston Jr ... The poem has been called `` arguably the best - known verses ever written by an American '' and is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today . It has had a massive impact on the history of Christmas gift - giving . Before the poem gained wide popularity , American ideas had varied considerably about Saint Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors . `` A Visit from St. Nicholas '' eventually was set to music and has been recorded by many artists . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Meter 3 Literary history 4 Original copies 5 Authorship controversy 5.1 Evidence in favor of Moore 5.2 Evidence in favor of Livingston 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Plot ( edit ) On Christmas Eve night , while his wife and children sleep , a father awakens to noises outside his house . Looking out the window , he sees Santa Claus ( Saint Nicholas ) in an air - borne sleigh pulled by eight reindeer . After landing his sleigh on the roof , the saint enters the house through the chimney , carrying a sack of toys with him . The father watches Santa filling the children 's Christmas stockings hanging by the fire , and laughs to himself . They share a conspiratorial moment before Santa bounds up the chimney again . As he flies away , Santa wishes everyone a `` Happy Christmas to all , and to all a good night . '' Meter ( edit ) The poem 's meter is anapestic tetrameter ( four feet of unstressed - unstressed - stressed ) . The anapest is the same foot used to construct limericks , and the common metrical modifications that can be observed in the limerick form also can be observed in Moore 's poem . For example , while the first two lines each use full anapests , lines 3 and 4 each drop the first unstressed syllable . Likewise , lines 9 and 10 drop the first unstressed syllable ; they also add an extra unstressed syllable to the end . Literary history ( edit ) Clement Clarke Moore , the author of A Visit from St. Nicholas According to legend , `` A Visit '' was composed by Clement Clarke Moore on a snowy winter 's day during a shopping trip on a sleigh . His inspiration for the character of Saint Nicholas was a local Dutch handyman as well as the historical Saint Nicholas . Moore originated many of the features that are still associated with Santa Claus today while borrowing other aspects , such as the use of reindeer . The poem was first published anonymously in the Troy , New York Sentinel on 23 December 1823 , having been sent there by a friend of Moore , and was reprinted frequently thereafter with no name attached . It was first attributed in print to Moore in 1837 . Moore himself acknowledged authorship when he included it in his own book of poems in 1844 . By then , the original publisher and at least seven others had already acknowledged his authorship . Moore had a reputation as an erudite professor and had not wished at first to be connected with the unscholarly verse . He included it in the anthology at the insistence of his children , for whom he had originally written the piece . Moore 's conception of Saint Nicholas was borrowed from his friend Washington Irving ( see below ) , but Moore portrayed his `` jolly old elf '' as arriving on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day . At the time that Moore wrote the poem , Christmas Day was overtaking New Year 's Day as the preferred genteel family holiday of the season , but some Protestants viewed Christmas as the result of `` Catholic ignorance and deception '' and still had reservations . By having Saint Nicholas arrive the night before , Moore `` deftly shifted the focus away from Christmas Day with its still - problematic religious associations . '' As a result , `` New Yorkers embraced Moore 's child - centered version of Christmas as if they had been doing it all their lives . '' In An American Anthology , 1787 -- 1900 , editor Edmund Clarence Stedman reprinted the Moore version of the poem , including the German spelling of `` Donder and Blitzen '' that he adopted , rather than the earlier Dutch version from 1823 `` Dunder and Blixem . '' Both phrases translate as `` Thunder and Lightning '' in English , though the German word for thunder is `` Donner '' and the words in modern Dutch would be `` Donder en Bliksem . '' Modern printings frequently incorporate alterations that reflect changing linguistic and cultural sensibilities . For example , breast in `` The moon on the breast of the new - fallen snow '' is frequently bowdlerized to crest ; the archaic ere in `` But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight '' is frequently replaced with as . Note that this change implies that Santa Claus made his exclamation during the moment that he disappeared from view , while the exclamation came before his disappearance in the original . `` Happy Christmas to all , and to all a good - night '' is frequently rendered with the traditional English locution `` ' Merry Christmas ' '' and with `` goodnight '' as a single word . Original copies ( edit ) ' Twas the night before Christmas ( credit : New - York Historical Society ) Four hand - written copies of the poem are known to exist and three are in museums , including the New - York Historical Society library . The fourth copy , written out and signed by Clement Clarke Moore as a gift to a friend in 1860 , was sold by one private collector to another in December 2006 . It was purchased for $280,000 by an unnamed `` chief executive officer of a media company '' who resides in New York City , according to Dallas , Texas - based Heritage Auctions which brokered the private sale . Authorship controversy ( edit ) Moore 's connection with the poem has been questioned by Professor Donald Foster , who used textual content analysis and external evidence to argue that Moore could not have been the author . Foster believes that Major Henry Livingston Jr. , a New Yorker with Dutch and Scottish roots , should be considered the chief candidate for authorship , a view long espoused by the Livingston family . Livingston was distantly related to Moore 's wife . Foster 's claim , however , has been countered by document dealer and historian Seth Kaller , who once owned one of Moore 's original manuscripts of the poem . Kaller has offered a point - by - point rebuttal of both Foster 's linguistic analysis and external findings , buttressed by the work of autograph expert James Lowe and Dr. Joe Nickell , author of Pen , Ink and Evidence . Evidence in favor of Moore ( edit ) Moore is credited by his friend Charles Fenno Hoffman as author in the 25 December 1837 Pennsylvania Inquirer and Daily Courier . Further , the Rev. David Butler , who allegedly showed the poem to Sentinel editor Orville L. Holley , was a relative of Moore 's . A letter to Moore from the publisher states , `` I understand from Mr. Holley that he received it from Mrs. Sackett , the wife of Mr. Daniel Sackett who was then a merchant in this city '' . Moore preferred to be known for his more scholarly works , but allowed the poem to be included in his anthology in 1844 at the request of his children . By that time , the original publisher and at least seven others had already acknowledged his authorship . Livingston family lore gives credit to their forebear rather than Moore , but there is no proof that Livingston himself ever claimed authorship , nor has any record ever been found of any printing of the poem with Livingston 's name attached to it , despite more than 40 years of searches . Evidence in favor of Livingston ( edit ) Advocates for Livingston 's authorship argue that Moore `` tried at first to disavow '' the poem . They also posit that Moore falsely claimed to have translated a book . Document dealer and historian Seth Kaller has challenged both claims . Kaller examined the book in question , A Complete Treatise on Merinos and Other Sheep , as well as many letters signed by Moore , and found that the `` signature '' was not penned by Moore , and thus provides no evidence that Moore made any plagiaristic claim . Kaller 's findings were confirmed by autograph expert James Lowe , by Dr. Joe Nickell , the author of Pen , Ink & Evidence , and by others . According to Kaller , Moore 's name was likely written on the book by a New - York Historical Society cataloger to indicate that it had been a gift from Moore to the Society . Some contend that Henry Livingston Jr. , not Moore , was the author of the poem Cover of a 1912 edition of the poem , illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith The Librarian of Congress , Dr. James Billington , reads The Night Before Christmas to the Little Scholars , December 2010 The following points have been advanced in order to credit the poem to Major Henry Livingston Jr. : Livingston also wrote poetry primarily using an anapaestic metrical scheme , and it is claimed that some of the phraseology of A Visit is consistent with other poems by Livingston , and that Livingston 's poetry is more optimistic than Moore 's poetry published in his own name . But Stephen Nissenbaum argues in his Battle for Christmas that the poem could have been a social satire of the Victorianization of Christmas . Furthermore , Kaller claims that Foster cherry - picked only the poems that fit his thesis and that many of Moore 's unpublished works have a tenor , phraseology , and meter similar to A Visit . Moore had even written a letter titled `` From Saint Nicholas '' that may have predated 1823 . Foster also contends that Moore hated tobacco and would , therefore , never have depicted Saint Nicholas with a pipe . However , Kaller notes , the source of evidence for Moore 's supposed disapproval of tobacco is The Wine Drinker , another poem by him . In actuality , that verse contradicts such a claim . Moore 's The Wine Drinker criticizes self - righteous , hypocritical advocates of temperance who secretly indulge in the substances which they publicly oppose , and supports the social use of tobacco in moderation ( as well as wine , and even opium , which was more acceptable in his day than it is now ) . Foster also asserts that Livingston 's mother was Dutch , which accounts for the references to the Dutch Sinteklaes tradition and the use of the Dutch names `` Dunder and Blixem '' . Against this claim , it is suggested by Kaller that Moore -- a friend of writer Washington Irving and member of the same literary society -- may have acquired some of his knowledge of New York Dutch traditions from Irving . Irving had written A History of New York in 1809 under the name of `` Dietrich Knickerbocker . '' It includes several references to legends of Saint Nicholas , including the following that bears a close relationship to the poem : And the sage Oloffe dreamed a dream , -- and lo , the good St. Nicholas came riding over the tops of the trees , in that self - same wagon wherein he brings his yearly presents to children , and he descended hard by where the heroes of Communipaw had made their late repast . And he lit his pipe by the fire , and sat himself down and smoked ; and as he smoked , the smoke from his pipe ascended into the air and spread like a cloud overhead . And Oloffe bethought him , and he hastened and climbed up to the top of one of the tallest trees , and saw that the smoke spread over a great extent of country ; and as he considered it more attentively , he fancied that the great volume of smoke assumed a variety of marvelous forms , where in dim obscurity he saw shadowed out palaces and domes and lofty spires , all of which lasted but a moment , and then faded away , until the whole rolled off , and nothing but the green woods were left . And when St. Nicholas had smoked his pipe , he twisted it in his hatband , and laying his finger beside his nose , gave the astonished Van Kortlandt a very significant look ; then , mounting his wagon , he returned over the tree - tops and disappeared . -- Washington Irving , A History of New York MacDonald P. Jackson , Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Auckland , New Zealand and a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand , has spent his entire academic career analyzing authorship attribution . He has written a book titled Who Wrote `` the Night Before Christmas '' ? : Analyzing the Clement Clarke Moore Vs. Henry Livingston Question , published in 2016 , in which he evaluates the opposing arguments and , for the first time , uses the author - attribution techniques of modern computational stylistics to examine the long - standing controversy . Jackson employs a range of tests and introduces a new one , statistical analysis of phonemes ; he concludes that Livingston is the true author of the classic work .

"On Christmas Eve night, while his wife and children sleep, a father awakens to noises outside his house. Looking out the window, he sees Santa Claus (Saint Nicholas) in an air-borne sleigh pulled by eight reindeer. After landing his sleigh on the roof, the saint enters the house through the chimney, carrying a sack of toys with him. The father watches Santa filling the children's Christmas stockings hanging by the fire, and laughs to himself. They share a conspiratorial moment before Santa bounds up the chimney again. As he flies away, Santa wishes everyone a \"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.\""

Euclid 's method consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms , and deducing many other propositions ( theorems ) from these . Although many of Euclid 's results had been stated by earlier mathematicians , Euclid was the first to show how these propositions could fit into a comprehensive deductive and logical system . The Elements begins with plane geometry , still taught in secondary school as the first axiomatic system and the first examples of formal proof . It goes on to the solid geometry of three dimensions . Much of the Elements states results of what are now called algebra and number theory , explained in geometrical language . For more than two thousand years , the adjective `` Euclidean '' was unnecessary because no other sort of geometry had been conceived . Euclid 's axioms seemed so intuitively obvious ( with the possible exception of the parallel postulate ) that any theorem proved from them was deemed true in an absolute , often metaphysical , sense . Today , however , many other self - consistent non-Euclidean geometries are known , the first ones having been discovered in the early 19th century . An implication of Albert Einstein 's theory of general relativity is that physical space itself is not Euclidean , and Euclidean space is a good approximation for it only where the gravitational field is weak . Euclidean geometry is an example of synthetic geometry , in that it proceeds logically from axioms to propositions without the use of coordinates . This is in contrast to analytic geometry , which uses coordinates .

Its improvement over earlier treatments was rapidly recognized , with the result that there was little interest in preserving the earlier ones , and they are now nearly all lost . There are 13 books in the Elements : Books I -- IV and VI discuss plane geometry . Many results about plane figures are proved , for example `` In any triangle two angles taken together in any manner are less than two right angles . '' ( Book 1 proposition 17 ) and the Pythagorean theorem `` In right angled triangles the square on the side subtending the right angle is equal to the squares on the sides containing the right angle . '' ( Book I , proposition 47 ) Books V and VII -- X deal with number theory , with numbers treated geometrically via their representation as line segments with various lengths . Notions such as prime numbers and rational and irrational numbers are introduced . The infinitude of prime numbers is proved . Books XI -- XIII concern solid geometry . A typical result is the 1 : 3 ratio between the volume of a cone and a cylinder with the same height and base . Axioms ( edit ) The parallel postulate ( Postulate 5 ) : If two lines intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles , then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough . Euclidean geometry is an axiomatic system , in which all theorems ( `` true statements '' ) are derived from a small number of axioms . Near the beginning of the first book of the Elements , Euclid gives five postulates ( axioms ) for plane geometry , stated in terms of constructions ( as translated by Thomas Heath ) : `` Let the following be postulated '' : `` To draw a straight line from any point to any point . '' `` To produce ( extend ) a finite straight line continuously in a straight line . '' `` To describe a circle with any centre and distance ( radius ) . '' `` That all right angles are equal to one another . '' The parallel postulate : `` That , if a straight line falling on two straight lines make the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles , the two straight lines , if produced indefinitely , meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles . '' Although Euclid 's statement of the postulates only explicitly asserts the existence of the constructions , they are also taken to be unique . The Elements also include the following five `` common notions '' : Things that are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another ( formally the Euclidean property of equality , but may be considered a consequence of the transitivity property of equality ) . If equals are added to equals , then the wholes are equal ( Addition property of equality ) . If equals are subtracted from equals , then the remainders are equal ( Subtraction property of equality ) . Things that coincide with one another are equal to one another ( Reflexive Property ) . The whole is greater than the part . Parallel postulate ( edit ) Main article : Parallel postulate To the ancients , the parallel postulate seemed less obvious than the others . They were concerned with creating a system that was absolutely rigorous and to them it seemed as if the parallel line postulate should have been able to be proven rather than simply accepted as a fact . It is now known that such a proof is impossible . Euclid himself seems to have considered it as being qualitatively different from the others , as evidenced by the organization of the Elements : the first 28 propositions he presents are those that can be proved without it . Many alternative axioms can be formulated that have the same logical consequences as the parallel postulate . For example , Playfair 's axiom states : In a plane , through a point not on a given straight line , at most one line can be drawn that never meets the given line . A proof from Euclid 's Elements that , given a line segment , an equilateral triangle exists that includes the segment as one of its sides . The proof is by construction : an equilateral triangle ΑΒΓ is made by drawing circles Δ and Ε centered on the points Α and Β , and taking one intersection of the circles as the third vertex of the triangle . Methods of proof ( edit ) Euclidean Geometry is constructive . Postulates 1 , 2 , 3 , and 5 assert the existence and uniqueness of certain geometric figures , and these assertions are of a constructive nature : that is , we are not only told that certain things exist , but are also given methods for creating them with no more than a compass and an unmarked straightedge . In this sense , Euclidean geometry is more concrete than many modern axiomatic systems such as set theory , which often assert the existence of objects without saying how to construct them , or even assert the existence of objects that can not be constructed within the theory . Strictly speaking , the lines on paper are models of the objects defined within the formal system , rather than instances of those objects . For example , a Euclidean straight line has no width , but any real drawn line will . Though nearly all modern mathematicians consider nonconstructive methods just as sound as constructive ones , Euclid 's constructive proofs often supplanted fallacious nonconstructive ones -- e.g. , some of the Pythagoreans ' proofs that involved irrational numbers , which usually required a statement such as `` Find the greatest common measure of ... '' Euclid often used proof by contradiction . Euclidean geometry also allows the method of superposition , in which a figure is transferred to another point in space . For example , proposition I. 4 , side - angle - side congruence of triangles , is proved by moving one of the two triangles so that one of its sides coincides with the other triangle 's equal side , and then proving that the other sides coincide as well . Some modern treatments add a sixth postulate , the rigidity of the triangle , which can be used as an alternative to superposition . System of measurement and arithmetic ( edit ) Euclidean geometry has two fundamental types of measurements : angle and distance . The angle scale is absolute , and Euclid uses the right angle as his basic unit , so that , e.g. , a 45 - degree angle would be referred to as half of a right angle . The distance scale is relative ; one arbitrarily picks a line segment with a certain nonzero length as the unit , and other distances are expressed in relation to it . Addition of distances is represented by a construction in which one line segment is copied onto the end of another line segment to extend its length , and similarly for subtraction . Measurements of area and volume are derived from distances . For example , a rectangle with a width of 3 and a length of 4 has an area that represents the product , 12 . Because this geometrical interpretation of multiplication was limited to three dimensions , there was no direct way of interpreting the product of four or more numbers , and Euclid avoided such products , although they are implied , e.g. , in the proof of book IX , proposition 20 . An example of congruence . The two figures on the left are congruent , while the third is similar to them . The last figure is neither . Congruences alter some properties , such as location and orientation , but leave others unchanged , like distance and angles . The latter sort of properties are called invariants and studying them is the essence of geometry . Euclid refers to a pair of lines , or a pair of planar or solid figures , as `` equal '' ( ἴσος ) if their lengths , areas , or volumes are equal , and similarly for angles . The stronger term `` congruent '' refers to the idea that an entire figure is the same size and shape as another figure . Alternatively , two figures are congruent if one can be moved on top of the other so that it matches up with it exactly . ( Flipping it over is allowed . ) Thus , for example , a 2x6 rectangle and a 3x4 rectangle are equal but not congruent , and the letter R is congruent to its mirror image . Figures that would be congruent except for their differing sizes are referred to as similar . Corresponding angles in a pair of similar shapes are congruent and corresponding sides are in proportion to each other . Notation and terminology ( edit ) Naming of points and figures ( edit ) Points are customarily named using capital letters of the alphabet . Other figures , such as lines , triangles , or circles , are named by listing a sufficient number of points to pick them out unambiguously from the relevant figure , e.g. , triangle ABC would typically be a triangle with vertices at points A , B , and C . Complementary and supplementary angles ( edit ) Angles whose sum is a right angle are called complementary . Complementary angles are formed when a ray shares the same vertex and is pointed in a direction that is in between the two original rays that form the right angle . The number of rays in between the two original rays is infinite . Angles whose sum is a straight angle are supplementary . Supplementary angles are formed when a ray shares the same vertex and is pointed in a direction that is in between the two original rays that form the straight angle ( 180 degree angle ) . The number of rays in between the two original rays is infinite . Modern versions of Euclid 's notation ( edit ) In modern terminology , angles would normally be measured in degrees or radians . Modern school textbooks often define separate figures called lines ( infinite ) , rays ( semi-infinite ) , and line segments ( of finite length ) . Euclid , rather than discussing a ray as an object that extends to infinity in one direction , would normally use locutions such as `` if the line is extended to a sufficient length , '' although he occasionally referred to `` infinite lines '' . A `` line '' in Euclid could be either straight or curved , and he used the more specific term `` straight line '' when necessary . Some important or well known results ( edit ) The Pons Asinorum or Bridge of Asses theorem states that in an isosceles triangle , α = β and γ = δ . The Triangle Angle Sum theorem states that the sum of the three angles of any triangle , in this case angles α , β , and γ , will always equal 180 degrees . The Pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the areas of the two squares on the legs ( a and b ) of a right triangle equals the area of the square on the hypotenuse ( c ) . Thales ' theorem states that if AC is a diameter , then the angle at B is a right angle . Pons Asinorum ( edit ) The Bridge of Asses ( Pons Asinorum ) states that in isosceles triangles the angles at the base equal one another , and , if the equal straight lines are produced further , then the angles under the base equal one another . Its name may be attributed to its frequent role as the first real test in the Elements of the intelligence of the reader and as a bridge to the harder propositions that followed . It might also be so named because of the geometrical figure 's resemblance to a steep bridge that only a sure - footed donkey could cross . Congruence of triangles ( edit ) Congruence of triangles is determined by specifying two sides and the angle between them ( SAS ) , two angles and the side between them ( ASA ) or two angles and a corresponding adjacent side ( AAS ) . Specifying two sides and an adjacent angle ( SSA ) , however , can yield two distinct possible triangles unless the angle specified is a right angle . Triangles are congruent if they have all three sides equal ( SSS ) , two sides and the angle between them equal ( SAS ) , or two angles and a side equal ( ASA ) ( Book I , propositions 4 , 8 , and 26 ) . Triangles with three equal angles ( AAA ) are similar , but not necessarily congruent . Also , triangles with two equal sides and an adjacent angle are not necessarily equal or congruent . Triangle angle sum ( edit ) The sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to a straight angle ( 180 degrees ) . This causes an equilateral triangle to have three interior angles of 60 degrees . Also , it causes every triangle to have at least two acute angles and up to one obtuse or right angle . Pythagorean theorem ( edit ) The celebrated Pythagorean theorem ( book I , proposition 47 ) states that in any right triangle , the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse ( the side opposite the right angle ) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs ( the two sides that meet at a right angle ) . Thales ' theorem ( edit ) Thales ' theorem , named after Thales of Miletus states that if A , B , and C are points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter of the circle , then the angle ABC is a right angle . Cantor supposed that Thales proved his theorem by means of Euclid Book I , Prop. 32 after the manner of Euclid Book III , Prop. 31 . Scaling of area and volume ( edit ) In modern terminology , the area of a plane figure is proportional to the square of any of its linear dimensions , A ∝ L 2 ( \ displaystyle A \ propto L ^ ( 2 ) ) , and the volume of a solid to the cube , V ∝ L 3 ( \ displaystyle V \ propto L ^ ( 3 ) ) . Euclid proved these results in various special cases such as the area of a circle and the volume of a parallelepipedal solid . Euclid determined some , but not all , of the relevant constants of proportionality . E.g. , it was his successor Archimedes who proved that a sphere has 2 / 3 the volume of the circumscribing cylinder . Applications ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( March 2009 ) Because of Euclidean geometry 's fundamental status in mathematics , it is impractical to give more than a representative sampling of applications here . A surveyor uses a level Sphere packing applies to a stack of oranges . A parabolic mirror brings parallel rays of light to a focus . As suggested by the etymology of the word , one of the earliest reasons for interest in geometry was surveying , and certain practical results from Euclidean geometry , such as the right - angle property of the 3 - 4 - 5 triangle , were used long before they were proved formally . The fundamental types of measurements in Euclidean geometry are distances and angles , both of which can be measured directly by a surveyor . Historically , distances were often measured by chains , such as Gunter 's chain , and angles using graduated circles and , later , the theodolite . An application of Euclidean solid geometry is the determination of packing arrangements , such as the problem of finding the most efficient packing of spheres in n dimensions . This problem has applications in error detection and correction . Geometric optics uses Euclidean geometry to analyze the focusing of light by lenses and mirrors . Geometry is used in art and architecture . The water tower consists of a cone , a cylinder , and a hemisphere . Its volume can be calculated using solid geometry . Geometry can be used to design origami . Geometry is used extensively in architecture . Geometry can be used to design origami . Some classical construction problems of geometry are impossible using compass and straightedge , but can be solved using origami . Quite a lot of CAD ( computer - aided design ) and CAM ( computer - aided manufacturing ) is based on Euclidean geometry . Design geometry typically consists of shapes bounded by planes , cylinders , cones , tori , etc . CAD / CAM is essential in the design of almost everything , nowadays , including cars , airplanes , ships , and your iphone . A few decades ago , sophisticated draftsmen learned some fairly advanced Euclidean geometry , including things like Pascal 's theorem and Brianchon 's theorem . But now they do n't have to , because the geometric constructions are all done by CAD programs . As a description of the structure of space ( edit ) Euclid believed that his axioms were self - evident statements about physical reality . Euclid 's proofs depend upon assumptions perhaps not obvious in Euclid 's fundamental axioms , in particular that certain movements of figures do not change their geometrical properties such as the lengths of sides and interior angles , the so - called Euclidean motions , which include translations , reflections and rotations of figures . Taken as a physical description of space , postulate 2 ( extending a line ) asserts that space does not have holes or boundaries ( in other words , space is homogeneous and unbounded ) ; postulate 4 ( equality of right angles ) says that space is isotropic and figures may be moved to any location while maintaining congruence ; and postulate 5 ( the parallel postulate ) that space is flat ( has no intrinsic curvature ) . As discussed in more detail below , Einstein 's theory of relativity significantly modifies this view . The ambiguous character of the axioms as originally formulated by Euclid makes it possible for different commentators to disagree about some of their other implications for the structure of space , such as whether or not it is infinite ( see below ) and what its topology is . Modern , more rigorous reformulations of the system typically aim for a cleaner separation of these issues . Interpreting Euclid 's axioms in the spirit of this more modern approach , axioms 1 - 4 are consistent with either infinite or finite space ( as in elliptic geometry ) , and all five axioms are consistent with a variety of topologies ( e.g. , a plane , a cylinder , or a torus for two - dimensional Euclidean geometry ) . Later work ( edit ) Archimedes and apollonius ( edit ) A sphere has 2 / 3 the volume and surface area of its circumscribing cylinder . A sphere and cylinder were placed on the tomb of Archimedes at his request . Archimedes ( ca . 287 BCE -- ca . 212 BCE ) , a colorful figure about whom many historical anecdotes are recorded , is remembered along with Euclid as one of the greatest of ancient mathematicians . Although the foundations of his work were put in place by Euclid , his work , unlike Euclid 's , is believed to have been entirely original . He proved equations for the volumes and areas of various figures in two and three dimensions , and enunciated the Archimedean property of finite numbers . Apollonius of Perga ( ca . 262 BCE -- ca . 190 BCE ) is mainly known for his investigation of conic sections . René Descartes . Portrait after Frans Hals , 1648 . 17th century : Descartes ( edit ) René Descartes ( 1596 -- 1650 ) developed analytic geometry , an alternative method for formalizing geometry which focused on turning geometry into algebra . In this approach , a point on a plane is represented by its Cartesian ( x , y ) coordinates , a line is represented by its equation , and so on . In Euclid 's original approach , the Pythagorean theorem follows from Euclid 's axioms . In the Cartesian approach , the axioms are the axioms of algebra , and the equation expressing the Pythagorean theorem is then a definition of one of the terms in Euclid 's axioms , which are now considered theorems . The equation P Q = ( p x − q x ) 2 + ( p y − q y ) 2 ( \ displaystyle PQ = ( \ sqrt ( ( p_ ( x ) - q_ ( x ) ) ^ ( 2 ) + ( p_ ( y ) - q_ ( y ) ) ^ ( 2 ) ) ) \ , ) defining the distance between two points P = ( p , p ) and Q = ( q , q ) is then known as the Euclidean metric , and other metrics define non-Euclidean geometries . In terms of analytic geometry , the restriction of classical geometry to compass and straightedge constructions means a restriction to first - and second - order equations , e.g. , y = 2x + 1 ( a line ) , or x + y = 7 ( a circle ) . Also in the 17th century , Girard Desargues , motivated by the theory of perspective , introduced the concept of idealized points , lines , and planes at infinity . The result can be considered as a type of generalized geometry , projective geometry , but it can also be used to produce proofs in ordinary Euclidean geometry in which the number of special cases is reduced . Squaring the circle : the areas of this square and this circle are equal . In 1882 , it was proven that this figure can not be constructed in a finite number of steps with an idealized compass and straightedge . 18th century ( edit ) Geometers of the 18th century struggled to define the boundaries of the Euclidean system . Many tried in vain to prove the fifth postulate from the first four . By 1763 , at least 28 different proofs had been published , but all were found incorrect . Leading up to this period , geometers also tried to determine what constructions could be accomplished in Euclidean geometry . For example , the problem of trisecting an angle with a compass and straightedge is one that naturally occurs within the theory , since the axioms refer to constructive operations that can be carried out with those tools . However , centuries of efforts failed to find a solution to this problem , until Pierre Wantzel published a proof in 1837 that such a construction was impossible . Other constructions that were proved impossible include doubling the cube and squaring the circle . In the case of doubling the cube , the impossibility of the construction originates from the fact that the compass and straightedge method involve equations whose order is an integral power of two , while doubling a cube requires the solution of a third - order equation . Euler discussed a generalization of Euclidean geometry called affine geometry , which retains the fifth postulate unmodified while weakening postulates three and four in a way that eliminates the notions of angle ( whence right triangles become meaningless ) and of equality of length of line segments in general ( whence circles become meaningless ) while retaining the notions of parallelism as an equivalence relation between lines , and equality of length of parallel line segments ( so line segments continue to have a midpoint ) . 19th century and non-Euclidean geometry ( edit ) In the early 19th century , Carnot and Möbius systematically developed the use of signed angles and line segments as a way of simplifying and unifying results . The century 's most significant development in geometry occurred when , around 1830 , János Bolyai and Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky separately published work on non-Euclidean geometry , in which the parallel postulate is not valid . Since non-Euclidean geometry is provably relatively consistent with Euclidean geometry , the parallel postulate can not be proved from the other postulates . In the 19th century , it was also realized that Euclid 's ten axioms and common notions do not suffice to prove all of the theorems stated in the Elements . For example , Euclid assumed implicitly that any line contains at least two points , but this assumption can not be proved from the other axioms , and therefore must be an axiom itself . The very first geometric proof in the Elements , shown in the figure above , is that any line segment is part of a triangle ; Euclid constructs this in the usual way , by drawing circles around both endpoints and taking their intersection as the third vertex . His axioms , however , do not guarantee that the circles actually intersect , because they do not assert the geometrical property of continuity , which in Cartesian terms is equivalent to the completeness property of the real numbers . Starting with Moritz Pasch in 1882 , many improved axiomatic systems for geometry have been proposed , the best known being those of Hilbert , George Birkhoff , and Tarski . 20th century and general relativity ( edit ) A disproof of Euclidean geometry as a description of physical space . In a 1919 test of the general theory of relativity , stars ( marked with short horizontal lines ) were photographed during a solar eclipse . The rays of starlight were bent by the Sun 's gravity on their way to the earth . This is interpreted as evidence in favor of Einstein 's prediction that gravity would cause deviations from Euclidean geometry . Einstein 's theory of general relativity shows that the true geometry of spacetime is not Euclidean geometry . For example , if a triangle is constructed out of three rays of light , then in general the interior angles do not add up to 180 degrees due to gravity . A relatively weak gravitational field , such as the Earth 's or the sun 's , is represented by a metric that is approximately , but not exactly , Euclidean . Until the 20th century , there was no technology capable of detecting the deviations from Euclidean geometry , but Einstein predicted that such deviations would exist . They were later verified by observations such as the slight bending of starlight by the Sun during a solar eclipse in 1919 , and such considerations are now an integral part of the software that runs the GPS system . It is possible to object to this interpretation of general relativity on the grounds that light rays might be improper physical models of Euclid 's lines , or that relativity could be rephrased so as to avoid the geometrical interpretations . However , one of the consequences of Einstein 's theory is that there is no possible physical test that can distinguish between a beam of light as a model of a geometrical line and any other physical model . Thus , the only logical possibilities are to accept non-Euclidean geometry as physically real , or to reject the entire notion of physical tests of the axioms of geometry , which can then be imagined as a formal system without any intrinsic real - world meaning . Treatment of infinity ( edit ) Infinite objects ( edit ) Euclid sometimes distinguished explicitly between `` finite lines '' ( e.g. , Postulate 2 ) and `` infinite lines '' ( book I , proposition 12 ) . However , he typically did not make such distinctions unless they were necessary . The postulates do not explicitly refer to infinite lines , although for example some commentators interpret postulate 3 , existence of a circle with any radius , as implying that space is infinite . The notion of infinitesimal quantities had previously been discussed extensively by the Eleatic School , but nobody had been able to put them on a firm logical basis , with paradoxes such as Zeno 's paradox occurring that had not been resolved to universal satisfaction . Euclid used the method of exhaustion rather than infinitesimals . Later ancient commentators , such as Proclus ( 410 -- 485 CE ) , treated many questions about infinity as issues demanding proof and , e.g. , Proclus claimed to prove the infinite divisibility of a line , based on a proof by contradiction in which he considered the cases of even and odd numbers of points constituting it . At the turn of the 20th century , Otto Stolz , Paul du Bois - Reymond , Giuseppe Veronese , and others produced controversial work on non-Archimedean models of Euclidean geometry , in which the distance between two points may be infinite or infinitesimal , in the Newton -- Leibniz sense . Fifty years later , Abraham Robinson provided a rigorous logical foundation for Veronese 's work . Infinite processes ( edit ) One reason that the ancients treated the parallel postulate as less certain than the others is that verifying it physically would require us to inspect two lines to check that they never intersected , even at some very distant point , and this inspection could potentially take an infinite amount of time . The modern formulation of proof by induction was not developed until the 17th century , but some later commentators consider it implicit in some of Euclid 's proofs , e.g. , the proof of the infinitude of primes . Supposed paradoxes involving infinite series , such as Zeno 's paradox , predated Euclid . Euclid avoided such discussions , giving , for example , the expression for the partial sums of the geometric series in IX. 35 without commenting on the possibility of letting the number of terms become infinite .

( June 2010 ) See also : Hilbert 's axioms , Axiomatic system , and Real closed field Classical logic ( edit ) Euclid frequently used the method of proof by contradiction , and therefore the traditional presentation of Euclidean geometry assumes classical logic , in which every proposition is either true or false , i.e. , for any proposition P , the proposition `` P or not P '' is automatically true . Modern standards of rigor ( edit ) Placing Euclidean geometry on a solid axiomatic basis was a preoccupation of mathematicians for centuries . The role of primitive notions , or undefined concepts , was clearly put forward by Alessandro Padoa of the Peano delegation at the 1900 Paris conference : ... when we begin to formulate the theory , we can imagine that the undefined symbols are completely devoid of meaning and that the unproved propositions are simply conditions imposed upon the undefined symbols . Then , the system of ideas that we have initially chosen is simply one interpretation of the undefined symbols ; but ... this interpretation can be ignored by the reader , who is free to replace it in his mind by another interpretation ... that satisfies the conditions ... Logical questions thus become completely independent of empirical or psychological questions ... The system of undefined symbols can then be regarded as the abstraction obtained from the specialized theories that result when ... the system of undefined symbols is successively replaced by each of the interpretations ... -- Padoa , Essai d'une théorie algébrique des nombre entiers , avec une Introduction logique à une théorie déductive quelconque That is , mathematics is context - independent knowledge within a hierarchical framework . As said by Bertrand Russell : If our hypothesis is about anything , and not about some one or more particular things , then our deductions constitute mathematics . Thus , mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about , nor whether what we are saying is true . -- Bertrand Russell , Mathematics and the metaphysicians Such foundational approaches range between foundationalism and formalism . Axiomatic formulations ( edit ) Geometry is the science of correct reasoning on incorrect figures . -- George Polyá , How to Solve It , p. 208 Euclid 's axioms : In his dissertation to Trinity College , Cambridge , Bertrand Russell summarized the changing role of Euclid 's geometry in the minds of philosophers up to that time . It was a conflict between certain knowledge , independent of experiment , and empiricism , requiring experimental input . This issue became clear as it was discovered that the parallel postulate was not necessarily valid and its applicability was an empirical matter , deciding whether the applicable geometry was Euclidean or non-Euclidean . Hilbert 's axioms : Hilbert 's axioms had the goal of identifying a simple and complete set of independent axioms from which the most important geometric theorems could be deduced . The outstanding objectives were to make Euclidean geometry rigorous ( avoiding hidden assumptions ) and to make clear the ramifications of the parallel postulate . Birkhoff 's axioms : Birkhoff proposed four postulates for Euclidean geometry that can be confirmed experimentally with scale and protractor . This system relies heavily on the properties of the real numbers . The notions of angle and distance become primitive concepts . Tarski 's axioms : Alfred Tarski ( 1902 -- 1983 ) and his students defined elementary Euclidean geometry as the geometry that can be expressed in first - order logic and does not depend on set theory for its logical basis , in contrast to Hilbert 's axioms , which involve point sets . Tarski proved that his axiomatic formulation of elementary Euclidean geometry is consistent and complete in a certain sense : there is an algorithm that , for every proposition , can be shown either true or false . ( This does n't violate Gödel 's theorem , because Euclidean geometry can not describe a sufficient amount of arithmetic for the theorem to apply . ) This is equivalent to the decidability of real closed fields , of which elementary Euclidean geometry is a model . Constructive approaches and pedagogy ( edit ) The process of abstract axiomatization as exemplified by Hilbert 's axioms reduces geometry to theorem proving or predicate logic . In contrast , the Greeks used construction postulates , and emphasized problem solving . For the Greeks , constructions are more primitive than existence propositions , and can be used to prove existence propositions , but not vice versa . To describe problem solving adequately requires a richer system of logical concepts . The contrast in approach may be summarized : Axiomatic proof : Proofs are deductive derivations of propositions from primitive premises that are ' true ' in some sense . The aim is to justify the proposition . Analytic proof : Proofs are non-deductive derivations of hypotheses from problems . The aim is to find hypotheses capable of giving a solution to the problem . One can argue that Euclid 's axioms were arrived upon in this manner . In particular , it is thought that Euclid felt the parallel postulate was forced upon him , as indicated by his reluctance to make use of it , and his arrival upon it by the method of contradiction . Andrei Nicholaevich Kolmogorov proposed a problem solving basis for geometry . This work was a precursor of a modern formulation in terms of constructive type theory . This development has implications for pedagogy as well . If proof simply follows conviction of truth rather than contributing to its construction and is only experienced as a demonstration of something already known to be true , it is likely to remain meaningless and purposeless in the eyes of students . -- Celia Hoyles , The curricular shaping of students ' approach to proof See also ( edit ) Analytic geometry Birkhoff 's axioms Cartesian coordinate system Hilbert 's axioms Incidence geometry List of interactive geometry software Metric space Non-Euclidean geometry Ordered geometry Parallel postulate Type theory Classical theorems ( edit ) Angle bisector theorem Butterfly theorem Ceva 's theorem Heron 's formula Menelaus ' theorem Nine - point circle Pythagorean theorem Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Eves , vol. 1. , p. 19 Jump up ^ Eves ( 1963 ) , vol. 1 , p. 10 Jump up ^ Eves , p. 19 Jump up ^ Misner , Thorne , and Wheeler ( 1973 ) , p. 47 Jump up ^ The assumptions of Euclid are discussed from a modern perspective in Harold E.

"Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to the Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid, which he described in his textbook on geometry: the Elements. Euclid's method consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and deducing many other propositions (theorems) from these. Although many of Euclid's results had been stated by earlier mathematicians,[1] Euclid was the first to show how these propositions could fit into a comprehensive deductive and logical system.[2] The Elements begins with plane geometry, still taught in secondary school as the first axiomatic system and the first examples of formal proof. It goes on to the solid geometry of three dimensions. Much of the Elements states results of what are now called algebra and number theory, explained in geometrical language.[3]"

Created by writer Peggy Phillips , the role was originated by actress Floy Dean on June 30 , 1966 till October 21 , 1966 . Susan Flannery stepped into the role from November 22 , 1966 to May 27 , 1975 . Susan Oliver briefly stepped into the role from October 10 , 1975 , to June 9 , 1976 , followed by Rosemary Forsyth from August 24 , 1976 , to March 25 , 1980 . Jaime Lyn Bauer assumed the role on November 12 , 1993 , and remained until July 7 , 1999 . Laura briefly returned to Salem in 2003 for her daughter , Jennifer Horton 's , wedding to Jack Deveraux . Laura 's storylines focus on family troubles . She is a member of the series ' Horton family . Laura 's marriage to Mickey Horton was a big part of the characters ' history . She was also married to another Horton , Bill . Laura went through a period where she appeared to be going insane , but was being brainwashed by Vivian Alamain . Bauer 's last episode aired on July 7 , 1999 , but she returned on May 26 to 27 , 2003 , and again from June 15 to 28 , 2010 , and April 10 and 11 , 2013 . In March 2016 , it was revealed that Bauer would be returning to the show for at least three episodes airing in September . Bauer returned on September 2 . She also returned on May 30 2018 for one episode . Storylines ( edit ) Laura Spencer arrives in Salem as a young psychiatric intern at the Salem University Hospital . She immediately catches the eye of Bill Horton , and the two become engaged . Bill calls off the wedding when he learns he ca n't be a surgeon , due to tuberculosis in his hand . Laura briefly dates Marie Horton 's ex fiance , Tony Merrit , however nothing serious develops between the two . Laura is in love with both Bill and Tony . Tony , however , recovers his relationship with Marie and , to cope , Laura dives deep into her work . In the summer of 1967 , Laura is assigned to evaluate Susan Martin 's state of mind for the courts when Susan stands trial for killing her husband , David . In the process , Laura spends many hours with lawyer , Mickey Horton . They fall in love and marry in 1968 . Later that year , Laura is raped by her ex-lover , and Mickey 's brother , Bill Horton . The following day , Bill is unable to remember raping Laura . Soon after , Laura learns she is pregnant and , when her father in law , Tom Horton , discovers a paternity test , things become more complicated . Tom learns that Mickey is sterile and that the baby is Bill 's . Laura gives birth prematurely to a healthy baby boy named , Mike . In 1970 , Laura and Mickey 's marriage begins to fall apart and they separate for a time , but eventually work things out by the end of the year . However , by 1971 , Mickey and Laura again have troubles after his affair with Linda Patterson is made public . Laura and Mickey agree to remain married and try to make things work for Mike 's sake . In 1972 , Bill and Laura begin to fall in love when Laura learns the true reason Bill went to jail . Laura plans to divorce Mickey and marry Bill but , when the two were overheard talking by Mike , he assumes they were having an affair , running out into the street and being hit by a car . Mike survives , and Laura realizes she can not abandon her husband and child . In 1973 , Mickey suffers a heart attack after Mike lashes out at him for the pain he caused Laura by having an affair with his secretary . Mickey is rushed to surgery and survives the operation performed by Bill . Though he survives the operation , Mickey suffers a stroke which erases his memory . Mickey sneaks out of the hospital and leaves Salem . With Mickey out of the way , Laura is free to love Bill , however , her marriage to Mickey is still an obstacle for Mickey can not be declared legally dead for seven years . Fate intervenes and , when Mickey is discovered to be alive , he grants Laura a divorce so he can remain with Maggie Simmons . On December 4 , 1975 , Bill and Laura are married . Two months later , on February 6 , 1976 , Laura gives birth to their daughter , Jennifer Horton . However , Laura falls into a deep depression , but seems to overcome it with the help of Dr. Marlena Evans . Laura remains sick and begins to sink deeper and deeper into depression when she learns Bill had an affair with a co worker , Dr. Kate Winograd . Soon , Laura begins to hear voices and sees visions of her dead mother who had committed suicide . Eventually , Laura succumbs to the mental illness and tries to hang herself . Bill finds Laura in time , but she had already slipped out of reality . Laura is admitted to Lakewood Sanitarium where she spends the next 17 years of her life . In 1993 , Kate Roberts begins to pay Laura visits at Pine Haven Sanitarium , where Laura has been transferred . Laura is very aware of what is going on around her , but remains in an apparent catatonic state because the crooked sanitarium workers are keeping her drugged in order to milk the Horton family of money . When Vivian Alamain is sent to the same sanitarium Laura is in , Vivian takes an interest in her . Laura realizes that Vivian is her ticket out . Laura is released and slowly regains her life as she knew it . During the mid to late 1990 's Laura was mostly known for her close friendship with Marlena , and her dislike for Marlena 's rival Kristen Blake . During John and Kristen 's relationship , Laura tried several times to convince John and Marlena that they belonged together , despite the fact that John was in a relationship with Kristen . In late 1996 , Peter Blake is shot by Jack Deveraux , and Jack is then arrested for Peter 's murder . However , Laura discovers that Peter is alive after seeing him in town , and Laura is then kidnapped by Stefano DiMera . Stefano then performs laser surgery on Laura 's brain in order to erase her short - term memory . The surgery seems to have worked , however , Laura slowly begins to get her memories back and then convinces Marlena that Peter is in fact alive . Laura then , with the help of Marlena and Mike , begin to try and figure out where Peter is in order to exonerate Jack for Peter 's murder . After discovering that Peter is alive , Laura , Mike , and Marlena also discover that it was Stefano and Kristen who kept Peter 's whereabouts a secret . Then in 1997 , Marlena is kidnapped by Kristen and held captive in a `` secret room '' . Laura discovers this , after overhearing Kristen communicate with her via a two - way radio , and tries desperately to convince John , Abe , Mike , and Jennifer that Marlena is being held captive by Kristen in the DiMera mansion . After John , Mike , and Abe attempt numerous searches in and around the DiMera house , they are convinced that Laura 's schizophrenia is returning . Jennifer , along with her brother Mike , try to convince Laura to seek treatment , but Laura is adamant that there 's nothing wrong with her and that Kristen and Stefano are in fact keeping Marlena captive inside the DiMera mansion . Soon after , Kristen gets herself locked in the same `` secret room '' that Marlena 's in by Susan Banks , who had also discovered that Kristen had kidnapped Marlena . Susan , who now has seeming fallen madly in love with John as well , decides not to release Marlena from the secret room , but rather to keep her in there with Kristen . Susan then goes about pretending to be Kristen in order to marry John . On the day of John and Kristen 's wedding , Laura snaps and decides to confront and attack Kristen ( Not knowing that it is actually Susan ) . Whilst attacking `` Kristen '' , Susan 's false teeth falls out and lands in Vivian 's martini , the truth is revealed and everyone , including Laura , realize that it 's Susan pretending to be Kristen . Susan then tells John the truth about where Marlena and Kristen are , and John goes down to the cellar ( to the secret room ) and rescues both Marlena and Kristen . After being rescued , Kristen is adamant that the wedding should continue immediately , but is stopped by Marelna and Laura who expose all of Kristen lies in front of all of the wedding guests . In 1998 , Laura is accused of murdering Kristen . But it was later revealed that the body was actually Susan Banks ' sister Penelope Kent , and the killer was Susan 's husband Edmund Crumb . Laura was then exonerated for the murder , however , her friendship with Marlena is in trouble because Marlena did not believe that Laura was innocent . After some time , Laura and Marlena reconcile , and their friendship is restored . Laura returns in 2003 for the wedding of her daughter and again in June 2010 , along with her ex-husband , Bill Horton , after receiving news that Alice Horton was extremely ill . Along with many other family members , she was reunited with her daughter , Jennifer , and reminisced about the wonderful times they shared with Alice . Laura was not happy when she caught Bill talking to Kate at the Horton house , which showed she was still not over their past together .

The conflicts revolve around : Tess 's upcoming second marriage to Ryan , which Anna is not emotionally ready for due to her father 's death three years before ; Anna 's pop punk / pop rock band , Pink Slip , which Tess hates because according to Anna , she thinks that they are all noise ; Anna 's claims about her archrival , Stacey Hinkhouse , who does not stop tormenting her and has Tess convinced that she and Anna are still best friends like they used to be ; and her sadistic English teacher , Mr. Elton Bates , who gives her an `` F '' on everything she does no matter how hard she tries . Tess also disapproves of Anna 's crush , Jake , an older student . To make matters worse , Anna gets detention twice during the school day . One for backtalking to Mr. Bates in the hallway , and another for hitting Stacey in the head with a volleyball on purpose during physical education after Stacey did it multiple times to her on purpose and got away with it . The Colemans eat out at Pei - Pei 's Chinese restaurant , where Anna begs Tess to let her go on an important audition with her band . However , Tess refuses since the show is on the same Friday as the rehearsal dinner . They begin arguing again until Pei - Pei 's mother interrupts to give them fortune cookies , which contain a body switching spell , causing an earthquake only they felt . The next morning , they wake up in each other 's bodies , figuring that the fortune cookies are responsible for the switch , but can not go directly back to the restaurant as Anna has to go to school and Tess has to see her therapy patients , taking each other 's roles . At school , Tess finds that Anna is not only right about Stacey when she assaults her , but Mr. Bates also gives her an `` F '' on a pop quiz about Hamlet even though she answered everything right . She soon recognizes him as a former classmate who asked her out to the prom , but she turned him down , and he is now taking it out on Anna . She threatens to report him to the school board unless he stops abusing Anna . Before Anna goes to Tess 's office , she gives Tess 's body a makeover , much to her dismay . At Tess 's practice , Anna has some difficulty handling her patients apart from a mother who has concerns over her daughter . At lunchtime , they go back to the restaurant to confront Pei - Pei and her mother , but she explains that only showing selfless love to one another will break the spell . In the afternoon , Anna attends Harry 's parent - teacher conference , where she reads a composition about how much he actually admires her . She sees him in a different light , and vows to treat him nicer . Meanwhile , Tess attempts to make amends with Stacey , but she frames her for cheating . Jake helps her finish the test , which makes her realize that she has misjudged him . Unfortunately , he is no longer enamored with `` Anna '' after Tess sabotages Stacey 's test . Meanwhile , Ryan surprises Anna with an interview on a talk show to discuss Tess 's new psychology book . However , she turns the interview into a wild romp to cover the fact she has not read the book . Tess and Jake catch it on TV and while she is embarrassed , he is impressed . Later , Anna bumps into him at a coffee shop , and they bond over their favorite music . He begins to fall in love with `` Tess '' and attempts to pursue her , much to the real Tess ' horror . At the rehearsal dinner , Anna 's bandmates come to try to convince `` Anna '' to sneak off to the audition , but they are caught by security . Ryan surprises Tess and Anna by giving `` Anna '' permission to go . He explains that he just wants the kids to accept him , and he urges `` Tess '' to go support the band , finally winning her over . Since Tess can not play , Anna unplugs her guitar , and plays while Tess mimes along and enjoys doing so . Jake is in the audience , and he realizes that Anna is the one for him . Tess also realizes how fun music is , and promises to treat Anna 's band with more respect . Back at the rehearsal dinner , Tess tells Anna to ask Ryan to postpone the wedding , so that Anna will not have to go through marrying him in Tess 's body . Instead , she proposes a toast where she finally accepts him because of how happy he makes Tess . This is the final act of selfless love needed to break the spell , and another earthquake has them switch back to their own selves . On the wedding day , Tess and Ryan marry , and she and Anna finally make up after such long conflict by saying `` I love you '' to each other . Also , Anna and Jake start dating with Tess 's approval . Anna 's band also plays at the reception . Pei - Pei 's mother attempts to give Harry and Grandpa Alan the body switching fortune cookies when they argue , but her daughter confiscates them in the nick of time by tackling them to the ground . Cast ( edit ) Jamie Lee Curtis as Dr. Tess Coleman Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman Chad Michael Murray as Jake Mark Harmon as Ryan , Tess 's Love interest Harold Gould as Grandpa Alan Stephen Tobolowsky as Mr. Elton Bates Christina Vidal as Maddie Ryan Malgarini as Harry Coleman Haley Hudson as Peg Rosalind Chao as Pei - Pei Lucille Soong as Pei - Pei 's mother Willie Garson as Evan Dina Waters as Dottie Robertson Julie Gonzalo as Stacey Hinkhouse Cayden Boyd as Harry 's friend Christopher Guest as Mr. Coleman Production ( edit ) The film 's producer Andrew Gunn said he initially hoped Jodie Foster ( who played Annabel in the original 1976 Freaky Friday film ) would be interested in playing the mother in the remake . She declined in order to spend more time with her family and because of concerns that the stunt casting would overshadow the film 's overall merit . Annette Bening was then cast in the role , but dropped out because of family obligations . Jamie Lee Curtis was given the role only four days before filming began . Lindsay Lohan 's character was originally written as a Goth , but she did not think anyone would relate to that , and decided to dress in a preppy style for her audition . The character ended up being rewritten . Marc McClure , who played Boris Harris , Annabel 's love interest in the original film , has a brief cameo as Boris the delivery man . Director Mark Waters also makes a cameo holding a baby at the wedding . In the end scene when Anna is dancing with Jake , there is a woman in the background dancing with an older gentleman , and she looks directly at the camera . That is Lindsay Lohan 's mother , Dina Lohan . Ryan Shuck coached Jamie Lee Curtis to play the guitar solo for the concert scene . Lohan trained for one year to learn to play the guitar before production . The snapshots in the opening credits are photos of Jamie Lee Curtis and her daughter , Annie Guest . Kelly Osbourne was originally set to play Maddie , but dropped out because she did not want to do a children 's movie . She was replaced by Christina Vidal . Principal photography began on October 5 , 2002 and Principal photography ended on December 18 , 2002 Home media ( edit ) The film was released on DVD and VHS on December 16 , 2003 , by Walt Disney Home Video . It is now also available on Blu - Ray disc . Reception ( edit ) Box office ( edit ) In its opening weekend , the film grossed $22.2 million in 2,954 theaters , finishing second at the box office , behind S.W.A.T. ( $37.1 million ) . The film went on to gross $110.2 million in North America and $50.6 million in other territories for a total of $160.8 million . Critical response ( edit ) Freaky Friday received positive reviews from critics . On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 88 % , based on 149 reviews , with an average rating of 7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan charm in Mark Waters ' nicely pitched -- and Disney 's second -- remake of the 1976 hit . '' On Metacritic the film has a score of 70 out of 100 , based on 36 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Jamie Lee Curtis 's performance was singled out for praise by many critics . David Ansen of Newsweek noted that , `` the most startling metamorphosis is Curtis ' transformation from fading horror - flick queen to dazzling comedienne . She goes on a teenage tear -- tormenting Anna 's younger brother ( who wonders why Mom 's acting so weird ) , getting down and dirty on a TV talk show where Tess is supposed to discuss her book on aging -- with fiercely funny conviction . '' Lisa Schwarzbaum from Entertainment Weekly called her performance `` glorious , '' and A.O. Scott from The New York Times contended that she `` does some of her best work ever ( in Freaky Friday ) . '' Nick Davis described her as `` so frisky and pouty and incandescent in Freaky Friday , she made the whole movie feel like something special . '' Her performance was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress -- Motion Picture Musical or Comedy . Lohan 's performance was also praised . Roger Ebert wrote that she `` has that Jodie Foster sort of seriousness and intent focus beneath her teenage persona . '' The film earned her the award for Breakthrough Performance at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards . Some critics , however , objected to the caricatured portrayal of Chinese people in the body switching scene , with Nick Schager of Slant Magazine calling it `` a strange bit of ' Oriental mysticism ' stereotyping that seems at odds with the film 's thematic focus on tolerance and understanding .

They are famous for their dance which is an integral part of their culture . Both men and women in the tribe participate in this activity to celebrate joyful occasions . Contents ( hide ) 1 Kalbelia tribe 2 Kalbeliya Dance 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Kalbelia tribe ( edit ) A Rajasthani folk dance , Kalbelia The Kalbelias were known for their frequent movement from one place to another in ancient times . Their traditional occupation is catching snakes and trading snake venom . Hence , the dance movements and the costumes of their community bear a resemblance to that of the serpents . They are also known as Sapera , Jogira or Jogi . They trace their ancestry from Kanlipar , the 12th disciple of Guru Gorakhnath . The largest number of the population of Kalbelias is in Pali district , then Ajmer , Chittorgarh and Udaipur district . They live a nomadic life and belong to the scheduled tribes . Traditionally , Kalbelia men carried cobras in cane baskets from door to door in villages while their women sang and danced and begged for alms . They revere the cobra and advocate non-killing of the reptile . In the villages , if a snake inadvertently entered a home , then a Kalbelia would be summoned to catch the serpent and to take it away without killing it . Kalbelias have traditionally been a fringe group in society living in spaces outside the village where they reside in makeshift camps called deras . The Kalbelias move their deras from one place to another in a circuitous route repeated over time . Over the generations , the Kalbelias acquired a unique understanding of the local flora and fauna , and are aware of herbal remedies for various diseases which is an alternative source of income for them . Since the enactment of the Wildlife Act of 1972 , the Kalbelias have been pushed out of their traditional profession of snake handling . Today , performing arts are a major source of income for them and these have received widespread recognition within and outside India . However , performance opportunities are sporadic and since the whole community is not involved in it on a regular basis , many members of the community work in the fields , or graze cattle to sustain themselves . Kalbeliya dance ( edit ) The Kalbelia dance , performed to celebrate any joyful moment in the community , is an integral part of Kalbelia culture . Their dances and songs are a matter of pride and a marker of identity for the Kalbelias and they represent the creative adaptation of this community of snake charmers to changing socioeconomic conditions and their own role in rural Rajasthani society . The dancers are women in flowing black skirts who dance and swirl , replicating the movements of a serpent . The upper body cloth is called Angrakhi and a piece of cloth worn on head known as Odhani similarly the lower body cloth is called Lengha . All these cloths are mixed in red and black hues and embroidered in such a way that when these dancers perform these clothes represent a combination of colours soothing to eyes as well as to the atmosphere . The male participants take care of the musical part of the dance . They use the different instruments such as the pungi , a woodwind instrument traditionally played to capture snakes , the dufli , been , the khanjari - a percussion instrument , morchang , khuralio and the dholak to create the rhythm on which the dancers perform . The dancers are tattooed in traditional designs and wear jewelry and garments richly embroidered with small mirrors and silver thread . As the performance progresses , the rhythm becomes faster and faster and so does the dance . Kalbelia songs are based on stories taken from folklore and mythology and special dances are performed during Holi . The Kalbelia have a reputation for composing lyrics spontaneously and improvising songs during performances . These songs and dances are part of an oral tradition that is handed down generations and for which there are neither texts nor training manuals . In 2010 , the Kalbelia folk songs and dances of Rajasthan were declared a part of its Intangible Heritage List by the UNESCO .

They trace their ancestry from Kanlipar, the 12th disciple of Guru Gorakhnath. The largest number of the population of Kalbelias is in Pali district, then Ajmer, Chittorgarh and Udaipur district. They live a nomadic life and belong to the scheduled tribes.[2][3]"

5802109398154653895 | Fortnite | Fortnite - Wikipedia Fortnite Not to be confused with fortnight . Fortnite Genres Various Developer ( s ) Epic Games Publisher ( s ) Epic Games Platforms Microsoft Windows , macOS , Nintendo Switch , PlayStation 4 , Xbox One , iOS , Android Platform of origin Microsoft Windows Year of inception 2017 Fortnite is a 2017 video game developed by Epic Games which has been released as different software packages featuring different game modes that otherwise share the same general gameplay and game engine . The game modes include Fortnite : Save the World , a cooperative shooter - survival game for up to four players to fight off zombie - like husks and defend objects with fortifications they can build , and Fortnite Battle Royale , a free - to - play battle royale game where up to 100 players fight in increasingly - smaller spaces to be the last person standing . Both game modes were released in 2017 as early access titles ; Save the World is available only for Microsoft Windows , macOS , PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One , while Battle Royale has been released for those platforms , Nintendo Switch , and iOS devices with Android support expected in mid-2018 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Game modes 2 Development 2.1 Fortnite : Save the World 2.2 Fortnite Battle Royale 3 Reception 3.1 Awards 4 References 5 External links Game modes Currently , Fortnite is distributed as two different games , though each game uses the same engine and has similar graphics , art assets , and game mechanics . Fortnite : Save the World is designed as player - versus - environment game , featuring four players cooperating towards a common objective on various missions . The game is set after a fluke storm appears across Earth , causing 98 % of the population to disappear and the survivors attacked by zombie - like `` husks '' . The players take the role of commanders of home base shelters , collecting resources , saving survivors , and defending equipment that help to either collect data on the storm or to push back the storm . From missions , players are awarded a number of in - game items , which include hero characters , weapon and trap schematics , and survivors , all which can be leveled up through gained experience to improve their attributes . Fortnite Battle Royale is a player - versus - player battle royale game for up to 100 players , playing alone or in squads of two or four . Players airdrop from a `` Battle Bus '' that crosses the game 's map without any weapons . When they land , they must scavenge for weapons , items , and resources , avoiding being killed while attacking other players . Over the course of a round , the safe area of the map shrinks down in size due to an incoming storm ; players outside that safe area take damage and can be killed . This forces remaining players into tighter spaces and encourages player encounters . The last player or squad alive is the winner . Both game modes give the ability to player to use a pickax to knock down existing structures on the map to collect basic resources ( wood , brick , and steel ) , from then which they can build pieces of fortification , such as walls , floors , and stairs . Such fortification pieces can be edited to include other features such as windows or doors . The materials used have different durability properties and can be updated to stronger variants using more materials of the same type . Within `` Save the World '' this enables players to create defensive fortifications around an objective or trap - filled tunnels to lure husks through . In `` Battle Royale '' , this provides the means to quickly traverse the map , protect oneself from enemy fire , or to delay an advancing foe . Both game modes are set to be free - to - play titles , though presently , `` Save the World '' is in early access and requires purchase to play . Both games are monetized through the use of V - Bucks , in - game currency that can also be earned only through `` Save the World '' . V - bucks in `` Save the World '' can be used to buy pinatas shaped like llamas to gain a random selection of items . In `` Battle Royale '' , V - bucks can be used to buy cosmetic items like character models or the like , or can also be used to purchase the game 's Battle Pass , a tiered progression of customization rewards for gaining experience and completing certain objectives during the course of a `` Battle Royale '' season . Development Fortnite : Save the World Main article : Fortnite : Save the World § Development Fortnite began from an internal game jam at Epic Games following the publishing of Gears of War 3 around 2011 . Though it was not initially one of the developed titles during the jam , the concept of merging the construction game genre , representing games like Minecraft and Terraria , and shooter games arose , leading to the foundation of Fortnite . Development of Fortnite slowed due to several issues , including switching from the Unreal Engine 3 to Unreal 4 , a deeper role - playing game approach to extend the life of the game , and a switch of art style from a dark theme to a more cartoonish style . Further , Epic was looking to get into the games as a service model , and brought in Chinese publisher Tencent to help ; Tencent took a large stake in Epic as part of this , leading to the departure of several executives , including Cliff Bleszinski , who had been a key part of Fortnite 's development . Fortnite 's approach was changed to be Epic 's testbed for games as a service , and further slowed the development . Ultimately , Epic was able to prepare to release Fortnite as a paid early access title in July 2017 , with plans to release it as free - to - play sometime in 2018 while gaining feedback from players to improve the game . With the release of Fortnite Battle Royale , the player - versus - environment mode was distinguished as `` Save the World '' . Fortnite Battle Royale Main article : Fortnite Battle Royale § Development Near the same time that Epic released Fortnite into early access , PlayerUnknown 's Battlegrounds had become a worldwide phenomenon , having sold over 5 million copies three months from its March 2017 release , and drawing strong interest in the battle royale genre . Epic recognized that with the Fortnite base game , they could also do a battle royale mode , and rapidly developed their own version atop Fortnite in about two months ... By September 2017 , Epic was ready to release this as a second mode from `` Save the World '' in the paid - for earlier access , but then later decided to release it as a free game , Fortnite Battle Royale , supported with microtransactions . This version quickly gained players , with over 10 million players during its first two weeks of release , and leading Epic to create separate teams to continue the Fortnite Battle Royale development apart from the `` Save the World '' mode , outside of common engine elements and art assets . This allowed Fortnite Battle Royale to expand to other platforms otherwise not supported by the `` Save the World '' mode , including iOS and Android mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch . Reception The Fortnite Pro-Am event at E3 2018 See also : Fortnite : Save the World § Reception , and Fortnite Battle Royale § Reception With both modes of Fortnite still considered to be early access , journalists have yet to provide comprehensive reviews of either mode . The Save the World mode achieved over one million players by August 2017 , just prior to the release of Battle Royale . Fortnite Battle Royale , on the other hand , became a significant financial success for Epic Games , leading them to separate the teams between Save the World and Battle Royale to provide better support for both modes . Within two weeks of release , over 10 million players had played the mode , and by June 2018 , just after the Nintendo Switch release , had reached 125 million players . Revenue from Fortnite Battle Royale during the first half of 2018 had been estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars per month . Fortnite Battle Royale has also become a cultural online phenomenon , with several celebrities reporting they play the game , and athletes using Fortnite emotes as victory celebrations . A notable streaming event in March 2018 , with streamer Tyler `` Ninja '' Blevins playing Fortnite Battle Royale alongside Drake , Travis Scott , Kim DotCom , and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith - Schuster , broke viewership records for Twitch to date , and led to Epic arranging a Fortnite Battle Royale pro -- am featuring 50 pairs of streamers and professional players matched with celebrities at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2018 in June 2018 . Epic Games is working to develop organized eSports competitions around Fortnite : Battle Royale , including a Fortnite World Cup tournament in 2019 . There has also been growing concern over Fortnite Battle Royale 's draw toward young children , emphasized with the release of the mobile client . Parents and teachers had expressed concern that students are being distracted and drawn away from school work due to playing Fortnite .

-8550985842544923827 | Aquatic respiration | Aquatic respiration - wikipedia Aquatic respiration Jump to : navigation , search Sea slugs breathe through a gill ( or ctenidium ) Aquatic respiration is the process whereby an aquatic animal obtains oxygen from water . Contents ( hide ) 1 Respiratory systems 1.1 Fish 1.2 Molluscs 1.3 Arthropods 1.4 Aquatic reptiles 1.5 Amphibians 1.6 Aquatic birds 2 Gills 3 Control of respiration 4 See also 5 Notes Respiratory systems ( edit ) Fish ( edit ) See also : Fish respiration In most fish respiration takes place through gills . Lungfish , however , possess one or two lungs . The labyrinth fish have developed a special organ that allows them to take advantage of the oxygen of the air , but is not a true lung . Fish use the process known as countercurrent flow , in which water and blood flow in opposite directions across the gills , maximizing the diffusion of oxygen . Molluscs ( edit ) See also : Respiratory system of gastropods Molluscs generally possess gills that allow exchange of oxygen from an aqueous environment into the circulatory system . These animals also possess a heart that pumps blood which contains hemocyaninine as its oxygen - capturing molecule . Therefore , this respiratory system is similar to that of vertebrate fish . The respiratory system of gastropods can include either gills or a lung . Arthropods ( edit ) See also : Gill § Invertebrate gills Aquatic arthropods generally possess some form of gills in which gas exchange takes place by diffusing through the exoskeleton . Others may breathe atmospheric air while remaining submerged , via breathing tubes or trapped air bubbles , though some aquatic insects may remain submerged indefinitely and respire using a plastron . A very few Arachnids have adopted an aquatic life style including the Diving bell spider . In all cases , oxygen is provided from air trapped by hairs around the animals body . Aquatic reptiles ( edit ) All aquatic reptiles breathe air into lungs . The anatomical structure of the lungs is less complex in reptiles than in mammals , with reptiles lacking the very extensive airway tree structure found in mammalian lungs . Gas exchange in reptiles still occurs in alveoli however , reptiles do not possess a diaphragm . Thus , breathing occurs via a change in the volume of the body cavity which is controlled by contraction of intercostal muscles in all reptiles except turtles . In turtles , contraction of specific pairs of flank muscles governs inspiration or expiration . See also reptiles for more detailed descriptions of the respiratory system in these animals . Amphibians ( edit ) See also : Amphibian § Respiratory system Both the lungs and the skin serve as respiratory organs in amphibians . The skin of these animals is highly vascularized and moist , with moisture maintained via secretion of mucus from specialized cells . While the lungs are of primary importance to breathing control , the skin 's unique properties aid rapid gas exchange when amphibians are submerged in oxygen - rich water . Aquatic birds ( edit ) The respiratory system of birds differs significantly from that found in mammals , containing unique anatomical features such as air sacs . The lungs of birds also do not have the capacity to inflate as birds lack a diaphragm and a pleural cavity . Gas exchange in birds occurs between air capillaries and blood capillaries , rather than in alveoli . See Avian respiratory system for a detailed description of these and other features . Gills ( edit ) Posterior view of the gills of a tuna Large aquatic animals have developed gills for respiration which are specifically adapted to their function , for example , they have : A large surface area to allow as much oxygen to enter the gills as possible because more of the gas comes into contact with the membrane Good blood supply to maintain the concentration gradient needed Thin membrane to allow for a short diffusion pathway each gill arch has two rows ( hemibranchs ) of gill filaments each gill filament has many lamellae In osteichthyes , the gills contain 4 gill arches on each side of the head , two on each side for chondrichthyes or 7 gill baskets on each side of the fish 's head in Lampreys . In fish , the long bony cover for the gill ( the operculum ) can be used for pushing water . Some fish pump water using the operculum . Without an operculum , other methods , such as ram ventilation , are required . Some species of sharks use this system . When they swim , water flows into the mouth and across the gills . Because these sharks rely on this technique , they must keep swimming in order to respire . Bony fish use countercurrent flow to maximize the intake of oxygen that can diffuse through the gill . Countercurrent flow occurs when deoxygenated blood moves through the gill in one direction while oxygenated water moves through the gill in the opposite direction . This mechanism maintains the concentration gradient thus increasing the efficiency of the respiration process as well and prevents the oxygen levels from reaching an equilibrium . Cartilaginous fish do not have a countercurrent flow system as they lack bones which are needed to have the opened out gill that bony fish have . Control of respiration ( edit ) Scientists have investigated what part of the body is responsible for maintaining the respiratory rhythm . They found that neurons located in the brainstem of fish are responsible for the genesis of the respiratory rhythm . The position of these neurons is slightly different from the centers of respiratory genesis in mammals but they are located in the same brain compartment , which has caused debates about the homology of respiratory centers between aquatic and terrestrial species . In both aquatic and terrestrial respiration , the exact mechanisms by which neurons can generate this involuntary rhythm are still not completely understood ( see Involuntary control of respiration ) . Another important feature of the respiratory rhythm is that it is modulated to adapt to the oxygen consumption of the body . As observed in mammals , fish `` breathe '' faster and heavier when they do physical exercise . The mechanisms by which these changes occur have been strongly debated over more than 100 years between scientists . The authors can be classified in 2 schools : 1 . Those who think that the major part of the respiratory changes are pre-programmed in the brain , which would imply that neurons from locomotion centers of the brain connect to respiratory centers in anticipation of movements . 2 . Those who think that the major part of the respiratory changes result from the detection of muscle contraction , and that respiration is adapted as a consequence of muscular contraction and oxygen consumption . This would imply that the brain possesses some kind of detection mechanisms that would trigger a respiratory response when muscular contraction occurs . Many now agree that both mechanisms are probably present and complementary , or working alongside a mechanism that can detect changes in oxygen and / or carbon dioxide blood saturation .

Columbia contains the oldest college in the state of New York and is the fifth chartered institution of higher learning in the United States , making it one of nine colonial colleges founded prior to the Declaration of Independence . It was established as King 's College by royal charter of George II of Great Britain and renamed Columbia College in 1784 following the American Revolutionary War . The college has produced numerous distinguished alumni . It has been among the most selective colleges in the United States since its founding . With an undergraduate acceptance rate of 5.8 % , it currently stands as the third most selective college in the United States and the second most selective in the Ivy League . A 1787 charter placed the institution under a private board of trustees before it was renamed Columbia University in 1896 when the campus was moved from Madison Avenue to its current location in Morningside Heights occupying 32 acres ( 13 ha ) of land . Columbia is one of the fourteen founding members of the Association of American Universities and was the first school in the United States to grant the M.D. degree . The university administers the Pulitzer Prize annually . The university is organized into twenty schools , including undergraduate schools such as Columbia College , the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science , and the School of General Studies , as well as graduate schools such as Columbia Law School , Teachers College , Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons , and Columbia Business School . The university also has global research outposts in Amman , Beijing , Istanbul , Paris , Mumbai , Rio de Janeiro , Santiago , Asunción and Nairobi . There are nearby institutions that are affiliated with Columbia including Barnard College , List College , and Union Theological Seminary . Columbia also has joint undergraduate programs available through the Jewish Theological Seminary of America , University College London , Sciences Po , City University of Hong Kong , Trinity College Dublin , and the Juilliard School . The university has graduated many notable alumni . As of 2017 , alumni and affiliates include 5 Founding Fathers of the United States -- amongst these an author of the Declaration of Independence and an author of the United States Constitution ; 10 Justices of the United States Supreme Court ; 95 Nobel laureates ; 20 living billionaires ; 123 Pulitzer Prize winners ; 39 Academy Award winners ; 3 United States Presidents ; 29 heads of state ; 101 National Academy members ; 77 National Medal of Science winners ; and 23 National Humanities Medal recipients .

However , it was not until the founding of the College of New Jersey ( the present Princeton University ) across the Hudson River in New Jersey that the City of New York seriously consider founding a college . In 1746 , an act was passed by the general assembly of New York to raise funds for the foundation of a new college . In 1751 , the assembly appointed a commission of ten New York residents , seven of whom were members of the Church of England , to direct the funds accrued by the state lottery towards the foundation of a college . Classes were initially held in July 1754 and were presided over by the college 's first president , Dr. Samuel Johnson . Dr. Johnson was the only instructor of the college 's first class , which consisted of a mere eight students . Instruction was held in a new schoolhouse adjoining Trinity Church , located on what is now lower Broadway in Manhattan . The college was officially founded on October 31 , 1754 , as King 's College by royal charter of King George II , making it the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of New York and the fifth oldest in the United States . In 1763 , Dr. Johnson was succeeded in the presidency by Myles Cooper , a graduate of The Queen 's College , Oxford , and an ardent Tory . In the charged political climate of the American Revolution , his chief opponent in discussions at the college was an undergraduate of the class of 1777 , Alexander Hamilton . The American Revolutionary War broke out in 1776 , and was catastrophic for the operation of King 's College , which suspended instruction for eight years beginning in 1776 with the arrival of the Continental Army . The suspension continued through the military occupation of New York City by British troops until their departure in 1783 . The college 's library was looted and its sole building requisitioned for use as a military hospital first by American and then British forces . Loyalists were forced to abandon their King 's College in New York , which was seized by the rebels and renamed Columbia College . The Loyalists , led by Bishop Charles Inglis fled to Windsor , Nova Scotia , where they founded King 's Collegiate School . 18th century ( edit ) The Gothic Revival Law School building on the Madison Avenue campus After the Revolution , the college turned to the State of New York in order to restore its vitality , promising to make whatever changes to the school 's charter the state might demand . The Legislature agreed to assist the college , and on May 1 , 1784 , it passed `` an Act for granting certain privileges to the College heretofore called King 's College '' . The Act created a Board of Regents to oversee the resuscitation of King 's College , and , in an effort to demonstrate its support for the new Republic , the Legislature stipulated that `` the College within the City of New York heretofore called King 's College be forever hereafter called and known by the name of Columbia College '' , a reference to Columbia , an alternative name for America . The Regents finally became aware of the college 's defective constitution in February 1787 and appointed a revision committee , which was headed by John Jay and Alexander Hamilton . In April of that same year , a new charter was adopted for the college , still in use today , granting power to a private board of 24 Trustees . On May 21 , 1787 , William Samuel Johnson , the son of Dr. Samuel Johnson , was unanimously elected President of Columbia College . Prior to serving at the university , Johnson had participated in the First Continental Congress and been chosen as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention . For a period in the 1790s , with New York City as the federal and state capital and the country under successive Federalist governments , a revived Columbia thrived under the auspices of Federalists such as Hamilton and Jay . Both President George Washington and Vice President John Adams attended the college 's commencement on May 6 , 1789 , as a tribute of honor to the many alumni of the school who had been involved in the American Revolution . The Library at Columbia University , ca . 1900 19th century to present ( edit ) Low Memorial Library In November 1813 , the College agreed to incorporate its medical school with The College of Physicians and Surgeons , a new school created by the Regents of New York , forming Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons . The college 's enrollment , structure , and academics stagnated for the majority of the 19th century , with many of the college presidents doing little to change the way that the college functioned . In 1857 , the college moved from the King 's College campus at Park Place to a primarily Gothic Revival campus on 49th Street and Madison Avenue , where it remained for the next forty years . During the last half of the 19th century , under the leadership of President F.A.P. Barnard , the president Barnard College is named after , the institution rapidly assumed the shape of a modern university . Barnard College was created in 1889 as a response to the university 's refusal to accept women . By this time , the college 's investments in New York real estate became a primary source of steady income for the school , mainly owing to the city 's expanding population . University president Seth Low moved the campus from 49th Street to its present location , a more spacious campus in the developing neighborhood of Morningside Heights . Under the leadership of Low 's successor , Nicholas Murray Butler , who served for over four decades , Columbia rapidly became the nation 's major institution for research , setting the `` multiversity '' model that later universities would adopt . Prior to becoming the president of Columbia University , Butler founded Teachers College , as a school to prepare home economists and manual art teachers for the children of the poor , with philanthropist Grace Hoadley Dodge . Teachers College came under the aegis of Columbia University in 1893 and became the University 's Graduate School of Education . Research into the atom by faculty members John R. Dunning , I.I. Rabi , Enrico Fermi and Polykarp Kusch placed Columbia 's Physics Department in the international spotlight in the 1940s after the first nuclear pile was built to start what became the Manhattan Project . In 1928 , Seth Low Junior College was established by Columbia University in order to mitigate the number of Jewish applicants to Columbia College . The college was closed in 1938 due to the adverse effects of the Great Depression and its students were subsequently absorbed into University Extension . In 1947 , the program was reorganized as an undergraduate college and designated the School of General Studies in response to the return of GIs after World War II . In 1995 , the School of General Studies was again reorganized as a full - fledged liberal arts college for non-traditional students ( those who have had an academic break of one year or more , or are pursuing dual - degrees ) and was fully integrated into Columbia 's traditional undergraduate curriculum . Within the same year , the Division of Special Programs -- later the School of Continuing Education , and now the School of Professional Studies -- was established to reprise the former role of University Extension . While the School of Professional Studies only offered non-degree programs for lifelong learners and high school students in its earliest stages , it now offers degree programs in a diverse range of professional and inter-disciplinary fields . Alma Mater In the aftermath of World War II , the discipline of international relations became a major scholarly focus of the University , and in response , the School of International and Public Affairs was founded in 1946 , drawing upon the resources of the faculties of political science , economics , and history . During the 1960s Columbia experienced large - scale student activism , which reached a climax in the spring of 1968 when hundreds of students occupied buildings on campus . The incident forced the resignation of Columbia 's President , Grayson Kirk and the establishment of the University Senate . Though several schools within the university had admitted women for years , Columbia College first admitted women in the fall of 1983 , after a decade of failed negotiations with Barnard College , the all - female institution affiliated with the university , to merge the two schools . Barnard College still remains affiliated with Columbia , and all Barnard graduates are issued diplomas authorized by both Columbia University and Barnard College . In the 1970s , Teachers College 's departments ran joint Ph. D programs with the University in the disciplines of psychology , history , and anthropology and all Teachers College diplomas were conferred by Columbia University . Teachers College was soon established as the University 's Faculty of Education and Department of Education . During the late 20th century , the University underwent significant academic , structural , and administrative changes as it developed into a major research university . For much of the 19th century , the University consisted of decentralized and separate faculties specializing in Political Science , Philosophy , and Pure Science . In 1979 , these faculties were merged into the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences . In 1991 , the faculties of Columbia College , the School of General Studies , the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences , the School of the Arts , and the School of Professional Studies were merged into the Faculty of Arts and Sciences , leading to the academic integration and centralized governance of these schools . In 2010 , the School of International and Public Affairs , which was previously a part of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences , became an independent faculty . Campus ( edit ) According to New York , Columbia University is the second largest landowner in New York City , after the Catholic Church . Morningside Heights ( edit ) College Walk The majority of Columbia 's graduate and undergraduate studies are conducted in Morningside Heights on Seth Low 's late - 19th century vision of a university campus where all disciplines could be taught at one location . The campus was designed along Beaux - Arts principles by architects McKim , Mead , and White . Columbia 's main campus occupies more than six city blocks , or 32 acres ( 13 ha ) , in Morningside Heights , New York City , a neighborhood that contains a number of academic institutions . The university owns over 7,800 apartments in Morningside Heights , housing faculty , graduate students , and staff . Almost two dozen undergraduate dormitories ( purpose - built or converted ) are located on campus or in Morningside Heights . Columbia University has an extensive underground tunnel system more than a century old , with the oldest portions predating the present campus . Some of these remain accessible to the public , while others have been cordoned off . Butler Library The Nicholas Murray Butler Library , known simply as Butler Library , is the largest single library in the Columbia University Library System , and is one of the largest buildings on the campus . Proposed as `` South Hall '' by the university 's former President Nicholas Murray Butler as expansion plans for Low Memorial Library stalled , the new library was funded by Edward Harkness , benefactor of Yale 's residential college system , and designed by his favorite architect , James Gamble Rogers . It was completed in 1934 and renamed for Butler in 1946 . The library design is neo-classical in style . Its facade features a row of columns in the Ionic order above which are inscribed the names of great writers , philosophers , and thinkers , most of whom are read by students engaged in the Core Curriculum of Columbia College . As of 2012 , Columbia 's library system includes over 11.9 million volumes , making it the eighth largest library system and fifth largest collegiate library system in the United States . It has also been ranked among the United States ' most beautiful libraries . Teachers College Several buildings on the Morningside Heights campus are listed on the National Register of Historic Places . Low Memorial Library , a National Historic Landmark and the centerpiece of the campus , is listed for its architectural significance . Philosophy Hall is listed as the site of the invention of FM radio . Also listed is Pupin Hall , another National Historic Landmark , which houses the physics and astronomy departments . Here the first experiments on the fission of uranium were conducted by Enrico Fermi . The uranium atom was split there ten days after the world 's first atom - splitting in Copenhagen , Denmark . Union Theological Seminary A statue by sculptor Daniel Chester French called Alma Mater is centered on the front steps of Low Memorial Library . McKim , Mead & White invited French to build the sculpture in order to harmonize with the larger composition of the court and library in the center of the campus . Draped in an academic gown , the female figure of Alma Mater wears a crown of laurels and sits on a throne . The scroll - like arms of the throne end in lamps , representing sapientia and doctrina . A book signifying knowledge , balances on her lap , and an owl , the attribute of wisdom , is hidden in the folds of her gown . Her right hand holds a scepter composed of four sprays of wheat , terminating with a crown of King 's College which refers to Columbia 's origin as a Royalist institution in 1754 . A local actress named Mary Lawton was said to have posed for parts of the sculpture . The statue was dedicated on September 23 , 1903 , as a gift of Mr. & Mrs. Robert Goelet , and was originally covered in golden leaf . During the Columbia University protests of 1968 a bomb damaged the sculpture , but it has since been repaired . The small hidden owl on the sculpture is also the subject of many Columbia legends , the main legend being that the first student in the freshmen class to find the hidden owl on the statue will be valedictorian , and that any subsequent Columbia male who finds it will marry a Barnard student , given that Barnard is a women 's college . `` The Steps '' , alternatively known as `` Low Steps '' or the `` Urban Beach '' , are a popular meeting area for Columbia students . The term refers to the long series of granite steps leading from the lower part of campus ( South Field ) to its upper terrace . With a design inspired by the City Beautiful movement , the steps of Low Library provides Columbia University and Barnard College students , faculty , and staff with a comfortable outdoor platform and space for informal gatherings , events , and ceremonies . McKim 's classical facade epitomizes late 19th century new - classical designs , with its columns and portico marking the entrance to an important structure . On warm days when the weather is favorable , the Low Steps often become a popular gathering place for students to sunbathe , eat lunch , or play frisbee . Panoramic view of the Morningside Heights campus as seen from Butler Library and facing Low Memorial Library Other campuses ( edit ) Lamont Campus entrance in Palisades , New York Medical Center in Washington Heights In April 2007 , the university purchased more than two - thirds of a 17 acres ( 6.9 ha ) site for a new campus in Manhattanville , an industrial neighborhood to the north of the Morningside Heights campus . Stretching from 125th Street to 133rd Street , the new campus will house buildings for Columbia 's Business School , School of International and Public Affairs , and the Jerome L. Greene Center for Mind , Brain , and Behavior , where research will occur on neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson 's and Alzheimer 's . The $7 billion expansion plan includes demolishing all buildings , except three that are historically significant , eliminating the existing light industry and storage warehouses , and relocating tenants in 132 apartments . Replacing these buildings will be 6,800,000 square feet ( 630,000 m ) of space for the university . Community activist groups in West Harlem fought the expansion for reasons ranging from property protection and fair exchange for land , to residents ' rights . Subsequent public hearings drew neighborhood opposition . Most recently ( as of December 2008 ) , the State of New York 's Empire State Development Corporation approved use of eminent domain , which , through declaration of Manhattanville 's `` blighted '' status , gives governmental bodies the right to appropriate private property for public use . On May 20 , 2009 , the New York State Public Authorities Control Board approved the Manhanttanville expansion plan and the first buildings are under construction . New York - Presbyterian Hospital is affiliated with the medical schools of both Columbia University and Cornell University . According to U.S. News & World Report 's `` America 's Best Hospitals 2009 '' , it is ranked sixth overall and third among university hospitals . Columbia 's medical school has a strategic partnership with New York State Psychiatric Institute , and is affiliated with 19 other hospitals in the U.S. and four hospitals overseas . Health - related schools are located at the Columbia University Medical Center , a 20 acres ( 8.1 ha ) campus located in the neighborhood of Washington Heights , fifty blocks uptown . Other teaching hospitals affiliated with Columbia through the New York - Presbyterian network include the Payne Whitney Clinic in Manhattan , and the Payne Whitney Westchester , a psychiatric institute located in White Plains , New York . On the northern tip of Manhattan island ( in the neighborhood of Inwood ) , Columbia owns 26 - acre ( 11 ha ) Baker Field , which includes the Lawrence A. Wien Stadium as well as facilities for field sports , outdoor track , and tennis . There is a third campus on the west bank of the Hudson River , the 157 - acre ( 64 ha ) Lamont - Doherty Earth Observatory and Earth Institute in Palisades , New York . A fourth is the 60 - acre ( 24 ha ) Nevis Laboratories in Irvington , New York for the study of particle and motion physics . A satellite site in Paris , France holds classes at Reid Hall . Sustainability ( edit ) Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library In 2006 , the university established the Office of Environmental Stewardship to initiate , coordinate and implement programs to reduce the university 's environmental footprint . The U.S. Green Building Council selected the university 's Manhattanville plan for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ( LEED ) Neighborhood Design pilot program . The plan commits to incorporating smart growth , new urbanism and `` green '' building design principles . Columbia is one of the 2030 Challenge Partners , a group of nine universities in the city of New York that have pledged to reduce their greenhouse emissions by 30 % within the next ten years . Columbia University adopts LEED standards for all new construction and major renovations . The University requires a minimum of Silver , but through its design and review process seeks to achieve higher levels . This is especially challenging for lab and research buildings with their intensive energy use ; however , the university also uses lab design guidelines that seek to maximize energy efficiency while protecting the safety of researchers . Every Thursday and Sunday of the month , Columbia hosts a greenmarket where local farmers can sell their produce to residents of the city . In addition , from April to November Hodgson 's farm , a local New York gardening center , joins the market bringing a large selection of plants and blooming flowers . The market is one of the many operated at different points throughout the city by the non-profit group GrowNYC . Dining services at Columbia spends 36 percent of its food budget on local products , in addition to serving sustainably harvested seafood and fair trade coffee on campus . Columbia has been rated `` B + '' by the 2011 College Sustainability Report Card for its environmental and sustainability initiatives . Academics ( edit ) Undergraduate Admissions and financial aid ( edit ) Van Am Quad College ( left ) , SEAS ( right ) Columbia University received 36,292 applications for its undergraduate class of 2020 ( entering 2016 ) . In early decision , 620 out of 3,520 applicants were admitted , for an acceptance rate of 17.61 % . In regular decision , 1,573 out of 32,772 applicants were admitted , for an acceptance rate of 4.79 % . For the Class of 2021 , 2,185 out of 37,389 applicants were admitted for an overall acceptance rate of 5.8 % , making Columbia the third most selective college in the United States behind Stanford and Harvard and the second most selective college in the Ivy League . According to the 2012 college selectivity ranking by U.S. News & World Report , which factors admission and yield rates among other criteria , Columbia was tied with Yale , Caltech and MIT as the most selective colleges in the country . Columbia is a racially diverse school , with approximately 52 % of all students identifying themselves as persons of color . Additionally , 50 % of all undergraduates received grants from Columbia . The average grant size awarded to these students is $46,516 . In 2015 -- 2016 , annual undergraduate tuition at Columbia was $50,526 with a total cost of attendance of $65,860 ( including room and board ) . On April 11 , 2007 , Columbia University announced a $400 m to $600 m donation from media billionaire alumnus John Kluge to be used exclusively for undergraduate financial aid . The donation is among the largest single gifts to higher education . Its exact value will depend on the eventual value of Kluge 's estate at the time of his death ; however , the generous donation has helped change financial aid policy at Columbia . Annual gifts , fund - raising , and an increase in spending from the university 's endowment have allowed Columbia to extend generous financial aid packages to qualifying students . As of 2008 , undergraduates from families with incomes as high as $60,000 a year will have the projected cost of attending the university , including room , board , and academic fees , fully paid for by the university . That same year , the university ended loans for incoming and current students who were on financial aid , replacing loans that were traditionally part of aid packages with grants from the university . However , this does not apply to international students , transfer students , visiting students , or students in the School of General Studies . In the fall of 2010 , admission to Columbia 's undergraduate colleges Columbia College and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science ( also known as SEAS or Columbia Engineering ) began accepting the Common Application . The policy change made Columbia one of the last major academic institutions and the last Ivy League university to switch to the Common Application . Scholarships are also given to undergraduate students by the admissions committee . Designations include John W. Kluge Scholars , John Jay Scholars , C. Prescott Davis Scholars , Global Scholars , Egleston Scholars , and Science Research Fellows . Named scholars are selected by the admission committee from first - year applicants . According to Columbia , the first four designated scholars `` distinguish themselves for their remarkable academic and personal achievements , dynamism , intellectual curiosity , the originality and independence of their thinking , and the diversity that stems from their different cultures and their varied educational experiences .

Its official corporate name is `` The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York . '' The university 's first Charter was granted in 1754 by King George II ; however , its modern Charter was first enacted in 1787 and last amended in 1810 by the New York State Legislature . The university is governed by 24 Trustees , customarily including the President , who serves ex officio . The Trustees themselves are responsible for choosing their successors . Six of the 24 are nominated from a pool of candidates recommended by the Columbia Alumni Association . Another six are nominated by the Board in consultation with the Executive Committee of the University Senate . The remaining 12 , including the President , are nominated by the Trustees themselves through their internal processes . The term of office for Trustees is six years . Generally , they serve for no more than two consecutive terms . The Trustees appoint the President and other senior administrative officers of the university , and review and confirm faculty appointments as required . They determine the university 's financial and investment policies , authorize the budget , supervise the endowment , direct the management of the university 's real estate and other assets , and otherwise oversee the administration and management of the university . The University Senate was established by the Trustees after a university - wide referendum in 1969 . It succeeded to the powers of the University Council , which was created in 1890 as a body of faculty , deans , and other administrators to regulate inter-Faculty affairs and consider issues of university - wide concern . The University Senate is a unicameral body consisting of 107 members drawn from all constituencies of the university . These include the president of the university , the Provost , the Deans of Columbia College and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences , all who serve ex officio , and five additional representatives , appointed by the President , from the university 's administration . The President serves as the Senate 's presiding officer . The Senate is charged with reviewing the educational policies , physical development , budget , and external relations of the university . It oversees the welfare and academic freedom of the faculty and the welfare of students . The President of Columbia University , who is selected by the Trustees in consultation with the Executive Committee of the University Senate and who serves at the Trustees ' pleasure , is the chief executive officer of the university . Assisting the President in administering the University are the Provost , the Senior Executive Vice President , the Executive Vice President for Health and Biomedical Sciences , several other vice presidents , the General Counsel , the Secretary of the University , and the deans of the Faculties , all of whom are appointed by the Trustees on the nomination of the President and serve at their pleasure . Lee C. Bollinger became the 19th President of Columbia University on June 1 , 2002 . A prominent advocate of affirmative action , he played a leading role in the twin Supreme Court cases -- Grutter v Bollinger and Gratz v Bollinger -- that upheld and clarified the importance of diversity as a compelling justification for affirmative action in higher education . A leading First Amendment scholar , he is widely published on freedom of speech and press , and serves on the faculty of Columbia Law School . Columbia has three official undergraduate colleges : Columbia College ( CC ) , the liberal arts college offering the Bachelor of Arts degree , the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science ( also known as SEAS or Columbia Engineering ) is the engineering and applied science school offering the Bachelor of Science degree , and The School of General Studies ( GS ) , the liberal arts college offering the Bachelor of Arts degree to non-traditional students undertaking full - or part - time study . The university is affiliated with Teachers College , Barnard College , and Union Theological Seminary , all located nearby in Morningside Heights . Of these , Barnard College and Teachers College are integrated as Faculties of the university . Students from both Teachers College and Barnard College graduate with Columbia University degrees . Furthermore , Teachers College is incorporated as an academic department of Columbia University , serving as the University 's Graduate School of Education and Department of Education . Joint undergraduate programs are available through the Jewish Theological Seminary of America as well as through the Juilliard School .

Many undergraduates are also involved with Barnard 's radio station , WBAR . WKCR , the student run radio station that broadcasts to the Tri-State area , claims to be the oldest FM radio station in the world , owing to the university 's affiliation with Major Edwin Armstrong . The station went operational on July 18 , 1939 , from a 400 - foot antenna tower in Alpine , New Jersey , broadcasting the very first FM transmission in the world . Initially , WKCR was n't a radio station , but an organization concerned with the technology of radio communications . As membership grew , however , the nascent club turned its efforts to broadcasting . Armstrong helped the students in their early efforts , donating a microphone and turntables when they designed their first makeshift studio in a dorm room . The station has its studios on the second floor of Alfred Lerner Hall on the Morningside campus with its main transmitter tower at 4 Times Square in Midtown Manhattan .

CI consists of a dedicated corps of about 950 Columbia University student volunteers participating in 25 community service programs , which serve more than 8,000 people each year . Student activism ( edit ) Protests of 1968 ( edit ) Hamilton Hall was occupied by protesting students in 1968 Main article : Columbia University protests of 1968 Students initiated a major demonstration in 1968 over two main issues . The first was Columbia 's proposed gymnasium in neighboring Morningside Park ; this was seen by the protesters to be an act of aggression aimed at the black residents of neighboring Harlem . A second issue was the Columbia administration 's failure to resign its institutional membership in the Pentagon 's weapons research think - tank , the Institute for Defense Analyses ( IDA ) . Students barricaded themselves inside Low Library , Hamilton Hall , and several other university buildings during the protests , and New York City police were called onto the campus to arrest or forcibly remove the students . The protests achieved two of their stated goals . Columbia disaffiliated from the IDA and scrapped the plans for the controversial gym , building a subterranean physical fitness center under the north end of campus instead . A popular myth states that the gym 's plans were eventually used by Princeton University for the expansion of its athletic facilities , but as Jadwin Gymnasium was already 50 % complete by 1966 ( when the Columbia gym was announced ) this was clearly not correct . At least 30 Columbia students were suspended by the administration as a result of the protests . Many of the Class of ' 68 walked out of their graduation and held a countercommencement on Low Plaza with a picnic following at Morningside Park , the place where the protests began . The protests hurt Columbia financially as many potential students chose to attend other universities and some alumni refused to donate money to the school . Allan Bloom , a professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago , believed that the protest efforts at Columbia were responsible for pushing higher education further toward the liberal left . As a result of the protests , Bloom stated , `` American universities were no longer places of intellectual and academic debate , but rather places of ' political correctness ' and liberalism . '' Protests against racism and apartheid ( edit ) School of Arts Further student protests , including hunger strike and more barricades of Hamilton Hall and the Business School during the late 1970s and early 1980s , were aimed at convincing the university trustees to divest all of the university 's investments in companies that were seen as active or tacit supporters of the apartheid regime in South Africa . A notable upsurge in the protests occurred in 1978 , when following a celebration of the tenth anniversary of the student uprising in 1968 , students marched and rallied in protest of university investments in South Africa . The Committee Against Investment in South Africa ( CAISA ) and numerous student groups including the Socialist Action Committee , the Black Student Organization and the Gay Students group joined together and succeeded in pressing for the first partial divestment of a U.S. university . The initial ( and partial ) Columbia divestment , focused largely on bonds and financial institutions directly involved with the South African regime . It followed a year - long campaign first initiated by students who had worked together to block the appointment of former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to an endowed chair at the university in 1977 . Broadly backed by student groups and many faculty members the Committee Against Investment in South Africa held teach - ins and demonstrations through the year focused on the trustees ties to the corporations doing business with South Africa . Trustee meetings were picketed and interrupted by demonstrations culminating in May 1978 in the takeover of the Graduate School of Business . Ahmadinejad speech controversy ( edit ) Students protest Ahmadinejad 's invitation to speak at Columbia University The School of International and Public Affairs extends invitations to heads of state and heads of government who come to New York City for the opening of the fall session of the United Nations General Assembly . In 2007 , Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was one of those invited to speak on campus . Ahmadinejad accepted his invitation and spoke on September 24 , 2007 , as part of Columbia University 's World Leaders Forum . The invitation proved to be highly controversial . Hundreds of demonstrators swarmed the campus on September 24 and the speech itself was televised worldwide . University President Lee C. Bollinger tried to allay the controversy by letting Ahmadenijad speak , but with a negative introduction ( given personally by Bollinger ) . This did not mollify those who were displeased with the fact that the Iranian leader had been invited onto the campus . Columbia students , though , turned out en masse to listen to the speech on the South Lawn . An estimated 2,500 undergraduates and graduates came out for the historic occasion . During his speech , Ahmadinejad criticized Israel 's policies towards the Palestinians ; called for research on the historical accuracy of the Holocaust ; raised questions as to who initiated the 9 / 11 attacks ; defended Iran 's nuclear power program , criticizing the UN 's policy of sanctions on his country ; and attacked U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East . In response to a question about Iran 's treatment of women and homosexuals , he asserted that women are respected in Iran and that `` In Iran , we do n't have homosexuals like in your country ... In Iran , we do not have this phenomenon . I do n't know who told you this . '' The latter statement drew laughter from the audience . The Manhattan District Attorney 's Office accused Columbia of accepting grant money from the Alavi Foundation to support faculty `` sympathetic '' to Iran 's Islamic republic . ROTC controversy ( edit ) Beginning in 1969 , during the Vietnam War , the university did not allow the U.S. military to have Reserve Officers ' Training Corps ( ROTC ) programs on campus , though Columbia students could participate in ROTC programs at other local colleges and universities . At a forum at the university during the 2008 presidential election campaign , both John McCain and Barack Obama said that the university should consider reinstating ROTC on campus . After the debate , the President of the University , Lee C. Bollinger , stated that he did not favor reinstating Columbia 's ROTC program , because of the military 's anti-gay policies . In November 2008 , Columbia 's undergraduate student body held a referendum on the question of whether or not to invite ROTC back to campus , and the students who voted were almost evenly divided on the issue . ROTC lost the vote ( which would not have been binding on the administration , and did not include graduate students , faculty , or alumni ) by a fraction of a percentage point . In April 2010 during Admiral Mike Mullen 's address at Columbia , President Lee C. Bollinger stated that the ROTC would be readmitted to campus if the admiral 's plans for revoking the do n't ask , do n't tell policy were successful . In February 2011 during one of three town - hall meetings on the ROTC ban , former Army staff sergeant Anthony Maschek , a Purple Heart recipient for injuries sustained during his service in Iraq , was booed and hissed at by some students during his speech promoting the idea of allowing the ROTC on campus . In April 2011 the Columbia University Senate voted to welcome the ROTC program back on campus . Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus and Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger signed an agreement to reinstate Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps ( NROTC ) program at Columbia for the first time in more than 40 years on May 26 , 2011 . The agreement was signed at a ceremony on board the USS Iwo Jima , docked in New York for the Navy 's annual Fleet Week . Divestment from private prisons ( edit ) In February 2014 , after learning that the university had over $10 million invested in the private prison industry , a group of students delivered a letter President Bollinger 's office requesting a meeting and officially launching the Columbia Prison Divest ( CPD ) campaign . As of June 30 , 2013 , Columbia held investments in Corrections Corporation of America , the largest private prison company in the United States , as well as G4s , the largest multinational security firm in the world . Students demanded that the university divest these holdings from the industry and instate a ban on future investments in the private prison industry . Aligning themselves with the growing Movement for Black Lives and in conversation with the heightened attention on race and the system of mass incarceration , CPD student activists hosted events to raise awareness of the issue and worked to involve large numbers of members of the Columbia and West Harlem community in campaign activities . After eighteen months of student driven organizing , the Board of Trustees of Columbia University voted to support the petition for divestment from private prison companies , which was confirmed to student leaders on June 22 , 2015 . The Columbia Prison Divest campaign was the first campaign to successfully get a U.S. university to divest from the private prison industry . Traditions ( edit ) For more details on this topic , see Columbia traditions . Orgo Night ( edit ) From 1975 until 2016 , at midnight on the day of the Organic Chemistry exam -- which is often on the first day of finals -- the Columbia University Marching Band occupied Butler Library to distract students from studying . After about forty - five minutes of jokes and music , the procession would move out to the lawn in front of Hartley , Wallach and John Jay residence halls to entertain the residents there . The band then plays at other locations around Morningside Heights , including the residential quadrangle of Barnard College . The band tends to close their Orgo Night performances at Furnald Hall , where the underclassmen in the band sing a mock - hymn to Columbia and its graduating seniors , composed of quips that poke fun at the stereotypes about the Columbia student body . In December 2016 , University administrators banned the Marching Band from performing its Orgo Night show in its traditional Butler Library location , which resulted in protests and accusations of censorship . Alumni published series of pamphlets addressing the issues in order to try to restore the show . University administration continued to prohibit the traditional Orgo Night performance during the spring semester of 2017 , prompting the Marching Band to again stage the show outside the library on May 4 , 2017 , as objections from alumni persisted . University administrators sent a letter to the alumni in which they said that they were working with current Band leadership concerning the future of Orgo Night , but band leadership stated that they had received no correspondence from the university . For the winter 2017 Orgo Night show , the Marching Band performed in Butler Library despite the University 's ban on the event . Tree - Lighting and Yule log ceremonies ( edit ) Tree - Lighting at College Walk The campus Tree - Lighting Ceremony was inaugurated in 1998 . It celebrates the illumination of the medium - sized trees lining College Walk in front of Kent and Hamilton Halls on the east end and Dodge and Journalism Halls on the west , just before finals week in early December . The lights remain on until February 28 . Students meet at the sun - dial for free hot chocolate , performances by a cappella groups , and speeches by the university president and a guest . Immediately following the College Walk festivities is one of Columbia 's older holiday traditions , the lighting of the Yule Log . The Christmas ceremony dates to a period prior to the American Revolutionary War , but lapsed before being revived by University President Nicholas Murray Butler in the early 20th century . A troop of students dressed as Continental Army soldiers carry the eponymous log from the sun - dial to the lounge of John Jay Hall , where it is lit amid the singing of seasonal carols . The Christmas ceremony is accompanied by a reading of A Visit From St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore and Yes , Virginia , There is a Santa Claus by Francis Pharcellus Church . The Varsity show ( edit ) The Varsity Show is an annual musical written by and for students and was established in 1894 , making it one of Columbia 's oldest traditions .

They are based on the novel The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien . The films are subtitled The Fellowship of the Ring ( 2001 ) , The Two Towers ( 2002 ) and The Return of the King ( 2003 ) . They are a New Zealand - American venture produced by WingNut Films and The Saul Zaentz Company and distributed by New Line Cinema . Considered to be one of the biggest and most ambitious film projects ever undertaken , with an overall budget of $281 million ( some sources say $310 - $330 million ) , the entire project took eight years , with the filming for all three films done simultaneously and entirely in New Zealand , Jackson 's native country . Each film in the series also had special extended editions released on DVD a year after their respective theatrical releases . While the films follow the book 's general storyline , they do omit some of the novel 's plot elements and include some additions to and deviations from the source material . Set in the fictional world of Middle - earth , the films follow the hobbit Frodo Baggins ( Elijah Wood ) as he and the Fellowship embark on a quest to destroy the One Ring , and thus ensure the destruction of its maker , the Dark Lord Sauron . The Fellowship eventually splits up and Frodo continues the quest together with his loyal companion Sam ( Sean Astin ) and the treacherous Gollum ( Andy Serkis ) . Meanwhile , Aragorn ( Viggo Mortensen ) , heir in exile to the throne of Gondor , Legolas , Gimli , Merry , and Pippin , and the wizard Gandalf ( Ian McKellen ) unite to rally the Free Peoples of Middle - earth in the War of the Ring . The series was received with overwhelming praise and was a major financial success , with the films collectively being among the highest - grossing film series of all time . The films were critically acclaimed and heavily awarded , winning 17 out of 30 total Academy Award nominations . The final film in the series , The Return of the King , won all 11 of its Academy Award nominations including Best Picture , which also tied it with Ben - Hur and Titanic for most Academy Awards received for a film . The series received wide praise for its innovative special and visual effects .

Jackson `` enjoyed the film and wanted to know more . '' Afterwards , he read a tie - in edition of the book during a twelve - hour train journey from Wellington to Auckland when he was seventeen . In 1995 , Jackson was finishing The Frighteners and considered The Lord of the Rings as a new project , wondering `` why nobody else seemed to be doing anything about it '' . With the new developments in computer - generated imagery following Jurassic Park , Jackson set about planning a fantasy film that would be relatively serious and feel real . By October , he and his partner Fran Walsh teamed up with Miramax Films boss Harvey Weinstein to negotiate with Saul Zaentz who had held the rights to the book since the early 1970s , pitching an adaptation of The Hobbit and two films based on The Lord of the Rings . Negotiations then stalled when Universal Studios offered Jackson a remake of King Kong . Weinstein was furious , and further problems arose when it turned out Zaentz did not have distribution rights to The Hobbit ; United Artists , which was in the market , did . By April 1996 , the rights question was still not resolved . Jackson decided to move ahead with King Kong before filming The Lord of the Rings , prompting Universal to enter a deal with Miramax to receive foreign earnings from The Lord of the Rings while Miramax received foreign earnings from King Kong . It was also revealed that Jackson originally wanted to finish King Kong before The Lord of the Rings began . But due to location problems , he decided to start with The Lord of the Rings franchise instead . When Universal cancelled King Kong in 1997 , Jackson and Walsh immediately received support from Weinstein and began a six - week process of sorting out the rights . Jackson and Walsh asked Costa Botes to write a synopsis of the book and they began to re-read the book . Two to three months later , they had written their treatment . The first film would have dealt with what would become The Fellowship of the Ring , The Two Towers , and the beginning of The Return of the King , ending with Saruman 's death , and Gandalf and Pippin going to Minas Tirith . In this treatment , Gwaihir and Gandalf visit Edoras after escaping Saruman , Gollum attacks Frodo when the Fellowship is still united , and Farmer Maggot , Glorfindel , Radagast , Elladan and Elrohir are present . Bilbo attends the Council of Elrond , Sam looks into Galadriel 's mirror , Saruman is redeemed before he dies and the Nazgûl just make it into Mount Doom before they fall . They presented their treatment to Harvey and Bob Weinstein , the latter of whom they focused on impressing with their screenwriting as he had not read the book . They agreed upon two films and a total budget of $75 million . During mid-1997 , Jackson and Walsh began writing with Stephen Sinclair . Sinclair 's partner , Philippa Boyens , was a major fan of the book and joined the writing team after reading their treatment . It took 13 -- 14 months to write the two film scripts , which were 147 and 144 pages respectively . Sinclair left the project due to theatrical obligations . Amongst their revisions , Sam is caught eavesdropping and forced to go along with Frodo , instead of Sam , Merry , and Pippin figuring out about the One Ring themselves and voluntarily going along after confronting Frodo about it , as occurs in the original novel . Gandalf 's account of his time at Orthanc was pulled out of flashback and Lothlórien was cut , with Galadriel doing what she does in the story at Rivendell . Denethor attends the Council with his son . Other changes included having Arwen rescue Frodo , and the action sequence involving the cave troll . The writers also considered having Arwen absorb Éowyn 's role entirely by having her kill the Witch - king . Trouble struck when Marty Katz was sent to New Zealand . Spending four months there , he told Miramax that the films were more likely to cost $150 million , and with Miramax unable to finance this , and with $15 million already spent , they decided to merge the two films into one . On 17 June 1998 , Bob Weinstein presented a treatment of a single two - hour film version of the book . He suggested cutting Bree and the Battle of Helm 's Deep , `` losing or using '' Saruman , merging Rohan and Gondor with Éowyn as Boromir 's sister , shortening Rivendell and Moria as well as having Ents prevent the Uruk - hai from kidnapping Merry and Pippin . Upset by the idea of `` cutting out half the good stuff '' Jackson balked , and Miramax declared that any script or work completed by Weta Workshop was theirs . Jackson went around Hollywood for four weeks , showing a thirty - five - minute video of their work , before meeting with New Line Cinema 's Mark Ordesky . At New Line Cinema , Robert Shaye viewed the video , and then asked why they were making two films when the book was published as three volumes ( this was later corrected : New Line only made this choice out of economical reasons ) ; he wanted to make a film trilogy . Now Jackson , Walsh , and Boyens had to write three new scripts . The expansion to three films allowed much more creative freedom , although Jackson , Walsh , and Boyens had to restructure their script accordingly . The three films do not correspond exactly to the trilogy 's three volumes , but rather represent a three - part adaptation . Jackson takes a more chronological approach to the story than did Tolkien . Frodo 's quest is the main focus , and Aragorn is the main sub-plot , and many sequences ( such as Tom Bombadil ) that do not contribute directly to those two plots were left out . Much effort was put into creating satisfactory conclusions and making sure exposition did not bog down the pacing . Amongst new sequences , there are also expansions on elements Tolkien kept ambiguous , such as the battles and the creatures . During shooting , the screenplays continued to evolve , in part due to contributions from cast members looking to further explore their characters . Most notable amongst these rewrites was the character Arwen , who was originally planned as a warrior princess , but reverted to her book counterpart , who remains physically inactive in the story ( though she sends moral and military support ) . To develop fight and sword choreography for the series , the filmmakers employed Hollywood sword - master Bob Anderson . Anderson worked directly with the talent including Viggo Mortensen and Karl Urban to develop the film 's many sword fights and stunts . Bob Anderson 's role in The Lord of the Rings series was highlighted in the film Reclaiming the Blade . This documentary on sword martial arts also featured Weta Workshop and Richard Taylor , The Lord of the Rings illustrator John Howe and actors Viggo Mortensen and Karl Urban . All discussed their roles and work on the series as related to the sword . Production design ( edit ) Alan Lee at Worldcon 2005 in Glasgow , August 2005 . Main article : Production design of The Lord of the Rings film series Jackson began storyboarding the series with Christian Rivers in August 1997 and assigned his crew to begin designing Middle - earth at the same time . Jackson hired long - time collaborator Richard Taylor to lead Weta Workshop on five major design elements : armour , weapons , prosthetics / make - up , creatures , and miniatures . In November 1997 , famed Tolkien illustrators Alan Lee and John Howe joined the project . Most of the imagery in the films is based on their various illustrations . Production designer Grant Major was charged with the task of converting Lee and Howe 's designs into architecture , creating models of the sets , while Dan Hennah worked as art director , scouting locations and organising the building of sets . Jackson 's vision of Middle - earth was described as being `` Ray Harryhausen meets David Lean '' by Randy Cook . Jackson wanted a gritty realism and historical regard for the fantasy , and attempted to make the world rational and believable . For example , the New Zealand Army helped build Hobbiton months before filming began so the plants could really grow . Creatures were designed to be biologically believable , such as the enormous wings of the fell beast to help it fly . In total , 48,000 pieces of armour , 500 bows , and 10,000 arrows were created by Weta Workshop . They also created many prosthetics , such as 1,800 pairs of Hobbit feet for the lead actors , as well as many ears , noses , and heads for the cast , and around 19,000 costumes were woven and aged . Every prop was specially designed by the Art Department , taking the different scales into account . Filming ( edit ) Main article : Principal photography of The Lord of the Rings film series A helmet of the Rohirrim . Principal photography for all three films was conducted concurrently in many locations within New Zealand 's conservation areas and national parks . Filming took place between 11 October 1999 and 22 December 2000 , a period of 438 days . Pick - up shoots were conducted annually from 2001 to 2003 . The series was shot at over 150 different locations , with seven different units shooting , as well as soundstages around Wellington and Queenstown . Along with Jackson directing the whole production , other unit directors included John Mahaffie , Geoff Murphy , Fran Walsh , Barrie Osbourne , Rick Porras , and any other assistant director , producer , or writer available . Jackson monitored these units with live satellite feeds , and with the added pressure of constant script re-writes and the multiple units interpreting his envisioned result , he only got around four hours of sleep a night . Due to the remoteness of some of the locations , the crew would also bring survival kits in case helicopters could not reach the location to bring them home in time . The New Zealand Department of Conservation was criticised for approving the filming within national parks without adequate consideration of the adverse environmental effects and without public notification . The adverse effects of filming battle scenes in Tongariro National Park meant that the park later required restoration work .

Each film had the benefit of a full year of post-production time before its respective December release , often finishing in October -- November , with the crew immediately going to work on the next film . In this period 's later part , Jackson would move to London to supervise the scoring and continue editing , while having a computer feed for discussions to The Dorchester Hotel , and a `` fat pipe '' of Internet connections from Pinewood Studios to look at the special effects . He had a video link and 5.1 surround sound to organise meetings , and listen to new music and sound effects generally wherever he was . The extended editions also had a tight schedule at the start of each year to complete special effects and music . Editing ( edit ) To avoid pressure , Jackson hired a different editor for each film . John Gilbert worked on the first film , Mike Horton and Jabez Olssen on the second and longtime Jackson collaborator Jamie Selkirk and Annie Collins on the third . Daily rushes would often last up to four hours , with scenes being done throughout 1999 -- 2002 for the rough ( 41⁄2 hours ) assemblies of the films . In total , 1828 km ( six million feet ) of film was edited down to the 11 hours and 23 minutes ( 683 minutes ) of Extended running time . This was the final area of shaping of the films , when Jackson realised that sometimes the best scripting could be redundant on screen , as he picked apart scenes every day from multiple takes . The first film 's editing was relatively easygoing , with Jackson coming up with the concept of an Extended Edition later on , although after a screening to New Line they had to re-edit the beginning for a prologue . The Two Towers was always acknowledged by the crew as the most difficult film to make , as `` it had no beginning or end '' , and had the additional problem of inter-cutting storylines appropriately . Jackson even continued editing the film when that part of the schedule officially ended , resulting in some scenes , including the reforging of Andúril , Gollum 's back - story , and Saruman 's demise , being moved to The Return of the King . Later , Saruman 's demise was cut from the theatrical edition ( but included in the Extended edition ) when Jackson felt it was not starting the third film effectively enough . As with all parts of the third film 's post-production , editing was very chaotic . The first time Jackson actually saw the completed film was at the Wellington premiere . Many filmed scenes remain unused , even in the Extended Editions . Promotional material for The Fellowship of the Ring contained an attack by Orcs from Moria on Lothlórien after the Fellowship leaves Moria , replaced with a more suspenseful entrance for the Fellowship . Also cut were scenes from the book , including Frodo seeing more of Middle - earth at Parth Galen and an extended Council of Elrond , and new scenes with an attack upon Frodo and Sam at the river Anduin by an Uruk - hai . The major cut to The Two Towers featured Arwen and Elrond visiting Galadriel at Lothlórien , with Arwen then leading the Elven reinforcements to Helm 's Deep . This scene , and a flashback to Arwen and Aragorn 's first meeting , was cut during a revision of the film 's plot ; the Elves ' appearance was explained with a telepathic communication between Elrond and Galadriel . Éowyn was to have a greater role in defending the refugees in the Glittering Caves from Uruk - hai intruders , while in Osgiliath , Faramir was to have a vision of Frodo becoming like Gollum , with Frodo and Sam having an extended fight sequence . Filmed for The Return of the King were two scenes present in the book ; Sam using the Phial of Galadriel to pass the Watchers at Cirith Ungol , and further epilogue footage , with endings for Legolas and Gimli , Éowyn and Faramir 's wedding and Aragorn 's death and funeral . Sauron was to fight Aragorn at the Black Gate , but with Jackson deciding the scene was inappropriate , a computer - generated Troll was used instead . To give context for Wormtongue killing Saruman , and Legolas in turn killing Wormtongue , it was to be revealed Wormtongue poisoned Théodred . The final scene cut was Aragorn having his armour fitted for the Battle of the Black Gate by the trilogy 's armourers , which was the final scene filmed during principal photography . Peter Jackson has stated that he would like to include some of these unused scenes in a future `` Ultimate Edition '' home video release , also including out - takes . Music ( edit ) Main article : Music of The Lord of the Rings film series Howard Shore composed , orchestrated , conducted , and produced the trilogy 's music . Howard Shore composed , orchestrated , conducted , and produced the trilogy 's music . He was hired in August 2000 and visited the set , and watched the assembly cuts of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King . In the music , Shore included many ( 85 to 110 ) leitmotifs to represent various characters , cultures , and places - the largest catalogue of leitmotives in the history of cinema , surpassing - for comparison - that of the entire Star Wars saga . For example , there are multiple leitmotifs just for the hobbits and the Shire . Although the first film had some of its score recorded in Wellington , virtually all of the trilogy 's score was recorded in Watford Town Hall and mixed at Abbey Road Studios . Jackson planned to advise the score for six weeks each year in London , though for The Two Towers he stayed for twelve . As a Beatles fan , Jackson had a photo tribute done there on the zebra crossing . The score is primarily played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra ( ranging from 93 to 120 players throughout the recording ) , London Voices , London Oratory School Schola boy choir , and many artists such as Ben Del Maestro , Enya , Renée Fleming , James Galway , Annie Lennox and Emilíana Torrini contributed . Even actors Billy Boyd , Viggo Mortensen , Liv Tyler , Miranda Otto ( extended cuts only for the latter two ) , and Peter Jackson ( for a single gong sound in the second film ) contributed to the score . Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens served as librettists , writing lyrics to various music and songs , which David Salo translated into Tolkien 's languages . The third film 's end song , `` Into the West '' , was a tribute to a young filmmaker Jackson and Walsh befriended named Cameron Duncan , who died of cancer in 2003 . Shore composed a main theme for The Fellowship rather than many different character themes , and its strength and weaknesses in volume are depicted at different points in the series . On top of that , individual themes were composed to represent different cultures . Infamously , the amount of music Shore had to write every day for the third film increased dramatically to around seven minutes . The music for the series turned out to be a success and has been voted best movie soundtrack of all time for the six years running , passing up Schindler 's list , Gladiator , Star Wars ( 1977 ) , and Out of Africa respectively . Sound ( edit ) Sound technicians spent the early part of the year trying to find the right sounds . Some , such as animal sounds like those of tigers and walruses , were bought . Human voices were also used . Fran Walsh contributed to the Nazgûl scream and David Farmer the Warg howls . Other sounds were unexpected : the fell beast 's screech is taken from that of a donkey , and the mûmakil 's bellow comes from the beginning and end of a lion 's roar . In addition , ADR was used for most of the dialogue . The technicians worked with New Zealand locals to get many of the sounds . They re-recorded sounds in abandoned tunnels for an echo - like effect in the Moria sequence . 20,000 New Zealand cricket fans provided the sound of the Uruk - hai army in The Two Towers , with Jackson acting as conductor during the innings break of a one - day international cricket match between England and New Zealand at Westpac Stadium . They spent time recording sounds in a graveyard at night , and also had construction workers drop stone blocks for the sounds of boulders firing and landing in The Return of the King . Mixing took place between August and November at `` The Film Mix '' , before Jackson commissioned the building of a new studio in 2003 . The building , however , had not yet been fully completed when they started mixing for The Return of the King . Special effects ( edit ) Main article : Special effects of The Lord of the Rings film series The first film has around 540 effect shots , the second 799 , and the third 1,488 ( 2,730 in total ) . The total increases to 3,420 with the extended editions . 260 visual effect artists began work on the series , and the number doubled by The Two Towers . The crew , led by Jim Rygiel and Randy Cook , worked long hours , often overnight , to produce special effects within a short space of time . Jackson 's active imagination was a driving force . For example , several major shots of Helm 's Deep were produced within the last six weeks of post-production of The Two Towers , and the same happened again within the last six weeks on The Return of the King . Releases ( edit ) Theatrical ( edit ) The trilogy 's online promotional trailer was first released on 27 April 2000 , and set a new record for download hits , registering 1.7 million hits in the first 24 hours of its release . The trailer used a selection from the soundtrack for Braveheart and The Shawshank Redemption among other cuts . In 2001 , 24 minutes of footage from the series , primarily the Moria sequence , was shown at the Cannes Film Festival , and was very well received . The showing also included an area designed to look like Middle - earth . The Fellowship of the Ring was released 19 December 2001 . It grossed $47 million in its U.S. opening weekend and made around $871 million worldwide . A preview of The Two Towers was inserted just before the end credits near the end of the film 's theatrical run . A promotional trailer was later released , containing music re-scored from the film Requiem for a Dream . The Two Towers was released 18 December 2002 . It grossed $62 million in its first U.S. weekend and out - grossed its predecessor with $926 million worldwide . The promotional trailer for The Return of the King was debuted exclusively before the New Line Cinema film Secondhand Lions on 23 September 2003 . Released 17 December 2003 , its first U.S. weekend gross was $72 million , and became the second film ( after Titanic ) to gross over $1 billion worldwide . Home media ( edit ) The first two films were released on standard two - disc edition DVDs containing previews of the next film . The success of the theatrical cuts brought about four - disc Extended Editions , with new editing , added special effects and music . The extended cuts of the films and the included special features were spread over two discs , and a limited collector 's edition was also released . The Fellowship of the Ring was released on 12 November 2002 , containing 30 minutes more footage , an Alan Lee painting of the Fellowship entering Moria , and the Moria Gate on the back of the sleeve ; an Argonath - styled bookend was included with the Collector 's Edition . The Two Towers , released on 18 November 2003 , contained 44 minutes extra footage and a Lee painting of Gandalf the White 's entrance ; the Collector 's Edition contained a Sméagol statue , with a crueller - looking statue of his Gollum persona available by order for a limited time . The Return of the King was released on 14 December 2004 , having 51 minutes more footage , a Lee painting of the Grey Havens and a model of Minas Tirith for the Collector 's Edition , with Minas Morgul available by order for a limited time . The Special Extended DVD Editions also had in - sleeve maps of the Fellowship 's travels . They have also played at cinemas , most notably for a 16 December 2003 marathon screening ( dubbed `` Trilogy Tuesday '' ) culminating in a late afternoon screening of the third film . Attendees of `` Trilogy Tuesday '' were given a limited edition keepsake from Sideshow Collectibles containing one random frame of film from each of the three movies . Both versions were put together in a Limited Edition `` branching '' version , plus a new feature - length documentary by Costa Botes . The complete series was released in a six - disc set on 14 November 2006 . Warner Bros. released the trilogy 's theatrical versions on Blu - ray Disc in a boxed set on 6 April 2010 . An extended edition Blu - ray box set was made available for pre-order from Amazon.com in March 2011 and was released on 28 June 2011 . Each film 's extended Blu - ray version is identical to the extended DVD version ; the total running time is longer due to added credit sequence listing the names of `` Lord of the Rings fan - club members '' who contributed to the project .

Public and critical response ( edit ) Unadjusted for inflation , The Lord of the Rings film series is the highest - grossing film trilogy worldwide of all time , higher even than other film franchises such as the original Star Wars trilogy and The Godfather trilogy . The film series grossed a total of $2.91 billion and also tied a record with Ben - Hur and Titanic for the total number of Academy Awards won for a single film , with The Return of the King receiving eleven Oscars . The majority of critics have also praised the series , with Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times writing that `` the trilogy will not soon , if ever , find its equal '' . Some were critical of the films ' pacing and length : `` It 's a collection of spectacular set pieces without any sense of momentum driving them into one another '' according to Philadelphia Weekly . On Rotten Tomatoes , the films received approval ratings of 91 % , 96 % , and 95 % respectively . Metacritic , based on its ratings for each film ( 92 , 88 , and 94 respectively ) , features the series within the top ten of the best films of the decade . As of July 2016 , every film is placed in the top 200 of Metacritic 's ' Best Movies of all Time ' list . In CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend , cinema audiences gave the films an average grade of A - , A , and A+ respectively on an A+ to F scale . The series appears in the Dallas - Fort Worth Film Critics Association 's Top 10 Films , Time magazine 's All - Time 100 Movies , and James Berardinelli 's Top 100 . In 2007 , USA Today named the series as the most important films of the past 25 years . Entertainment Weekly put it on its end - of - the - decade , `` best - of '' list , saying , `` Bringing a cherished book to the big screen ? No sweat . Peter Jackson 's trilogy -- or , as we like to call it , our preciousssss -- exerted its irresistible pull , on advanced Elvish speakers and neophytes alike . '' Paste Magazine named it one of the 50 Best Movies of the Decade ( 2000 -- 2009 ) , ranking it at No. 4 . In another Time magazine list , the series ranks second in `` Best Movies of the Decade '' . Empire magazine voted the films at # 1 on the ' 32 Greatest Film Trilogies ' . In addition , six characters and their respective actors made the list of ' The 100 Greatest Movie Characters ' , also compiled by Empire , with Viggo Mortensen 's portrayal of Aragorn ranking No. 15 , Ian McKellen 's portrayal of Gandalf ranking No. 30 , Ian Holm 's portrayal of Bilbo Baggins ( shared with Martin Freeman for his portrayal of the same character in The Hobbit films ) ranking No. 61 , Andy Serkis ' portrayal of Gollum ranking No. 66 , Sean Astin 's portrayal of Samwise Gamgee ranking No. 77 , and Orlando Bloom 's portrayal of Legolas ranking No. 94 .

The Fellowship of the Ring earned thirteen nominations , the most of any film at the 74th Academy Awards , winning four . The Return of the King won in every category in which it was nominated , setting the current Oscar record for the highest clean sweep , and its 11 Academy Awards wins ties the record held by Ben - Hur and Titanic ( though both of those films had additional nominations that they ultimately lost ) . The Return of the King became only the second sequel to win the Oscar for Best Picture ( after The Godfather Part II ) and the first and only fantasy film to receive this honor , though this has been widely perceived as an award by proxy for the entire series ( the first two films were also nominated for Best Picture ) . No actors in any of the three films won Oscars , and Ian McKellen was the only actor in the trilogy to receive a nomination , for his work in The Fellowship of the Ring . The Fellowship of the Ring -- Nominations : 13 , Wins : 4 The Two Towers -- Nominations : 6 , Wins : 2 The Return of the King -- Nominations : 11 , Wins : 11 Award Awards Won The Fellowship of the Ring The Two Towers The Return of the King Picture Nominated Nominated Won Director Nominated Won Supporting Actor Nominated Adapted Screenplay Nominated Won Art Direction Nominated Nominated Won Cinematography Won Costume Design Nominated Won Film Editing Nominated Nominated Won Makeup Won Won Original Score Won Won Original Song Nominated Won Sound / Sound Mixing Nominated Nominated Won Sound Editing Won Visual Effects Won Won Won As well as Academy Awards , each film in the series won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation , the MTV Movie Award for Best Movie , and the Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Film . The first and third films also won the BAFTA Award for Best Film . The soundtrack for The Two Towers did not receive a nomination because of a rule prohibiting a soundtrack including music from a previous soundtrack to be eligible for nomination . This rule was changed in time for The Return of the King to receive the Oscar for Best Music Score . The New York Film Critics Circle awarded The Return of the King its Best Picture Award at the 2003 Awards Ceremony , hosted by Andrew Johnston , chair of the organization at that time , who called it `` a masterful piece of filmmaking . '' Reactions to changes in the films from the Books ( edit ) See also : List of original characters in The Lord of the Rings film series The film series provoked both positive and negative reaction from fans and scholars of the novels , and was sometimes seen as changing parts Tolkien felt thematically necessary in terms of characters , themes , events and subtlety . Some fans of the book who disagreed with such changes have released fan edits of the films such as The Lord of the Rings : The Purist Edition , which removed many of the changes to bring them closer to the original . Various changes to characters such as Gandalf , Aragorn , Arwen , Denethor , Faramir , Gimli , and Frodo , when considered together , were seen by some to alter the tone and themes found in the books . Several critics contend that the portrayal of women , especially Arwen , in the films is thematically faithful to ( or compatible with ) Tolkien 's writings despite some differences . Wayne G. Hammond , a Tolkien scholar , said of the first two films that he found them to be `` travesties as adaptations ... faithful only on a basic level of plot '' and that many characters had not been depicted faithfully to their appearance in the novel . Other critics have argued that Tolkien 's characters were weakened and misinterpreted by their portrayal in the films . Changes to events ( such as the Elves participating at the Battle of Helm 's Deep , Faramir taking the hobbits to Osgiliath , and the deletion of the chapter `` The Scouring of the Shire '' ) are also seen as changing Tolkien 's themes . Janet Brennan Croft criticized the films using Tolkien 's own terms `` anticipation '' and `` flattening '' , which she used in critiquing a proposed film script . She contrasts Tolkien 's subtlety with Jackson 's tendency to show `` too much too soon '' . Supporters of the series assert that it is a worthy interpretation of the book and that most of the changes were necessary . Many who worked on the series are fans of the book , including Christopher Lee , who ( alone among the cast ) had actually met Tolkien in person , and Boyens once noted that no matter what , it is simply their interpretation of the book . Jackson once said that to simply summarize the story on screen would be a mess , and in his own words , `` Sure , it 's not really The Lord of the Rings ... but it could still be a pretty damn cool movie . '' Other fans also claim that , despite any changes , the films serve as a tribute to the book , appealing to those who have not yet read it , and even leading some to do so . The Movie Guide for The Encyclopedia of Arda ( an online Tolkien encyclopedia ) states that Jackson 's films were exceptional since filming the whole story of The Lord of the Rings was probably impossible . This notion is partially supported by a review published in 2005 that otherwise criticized a lack of `` faithfulness to Tolkien 's spirit and tone . '' Douglas Kellner argues that the conservative community spirit of Tolkien 's Shire is reflected in Jackson 's films as well as the division of the Fellowship into `` squabbling races '' . In a 2006 review , film theorist Kristin Thompson was critical about the fact that film studies were undertaken by literary researchers and about the frequent denigration of Jackson 's work in the collected essays . Legacy ( edit ) They eviscerated the book by making it an action movie for young people aged 15 to 25 , and it seems that The Hobbit will be the same kind of film . ( ... ) Tolkien has become a monster , devoured by his own popularity and absorbed by the absurdity of our time . The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work , and what it has become , has gone too far for me . Such commercialisation has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of this creation to nothing . There is only one solution for me : turning my head away . `` '' -- Christopher Tolkien , Le Monde , 9 July 2012 The release of the films saw a surge of interest in The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien 's other works , vastly increasing his impact on popular culture . It was rumored that the Tolkien family became split on the series , with Christopher Tolkien and his son Simon Tolkien feuding over whether or not it was a good idea to adapt . Christopher has since denied these claims , saying , `` My own position is that The Lord of the Rings is peculiarly unsuitable to transformation into visual dramatic form . The suggestions that have been made that I ' disapprove ' of the films , even to the extent of thinking ill of those with whom I may differ , are wholly without foundation . '' He added that he had never `` expressed any such feeling '' . In 2012 , however , he described the films as having `` eviscerated '' the book , and criticized the resulting `` commercialisation '' of his father 's work . As a result of the series ' success , Peter Jackson has become a major player in the film business ( sometimes called a mogul ) in the mold of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas , in the process befriending some industry heavyweights like Bryan Singer and Frank Darabont. Jackson has since founded his own film production company , Wingnut Films , as well as Wingnut Interactive , a video game company . He was also finally given a chance to remake King Kong in 2005 . The film was a critical and box office success , although not as successful as The Lord of the Rings series . Jackson has been called a `` favourite son '' of New Zealand . In 2004 , Howard Shore toured with The Lord of the Rings Symphony , playing two hours of the score . Along with the Harry Potter films , the series has renewed interest in the fantasy film genre . Tourism for New Zealand is up , possibly due to its exposure in the series , with the country 's tourism industry waking up to an audience 's familiarity . Air New Zealand painted this Airbus A320 in The Lord of the Rings livery to help promote the films . In December 2002 , The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy : The Exhibition opened at the Te Papa museum in Wellington , New Zealand . As of 2007 , the exhibition has traveled to seven other cities around the world . A musical adaptation of the book was launched in Toronto , Ontario , Canada , in 2006 , but it closed after mostly poor reviews . A shortened version opened in London , United Kingdom , in the summer of 2007 . The success of the films has also spawned numerous video games and many other kinds of merchandise . The legacy of The Lord of the Rings is also that of court cases over profits from the trilogy . Sixteen cast members ( Noel Appleby ( de ) , Jed Brophy , Mark Ferguson , Ray Henwood , Bruce Hopkins , William Johnson , Nathaniel Lees , Sarah McLeod , Ian Mune , Paul Norell , Craig Parker , Robert Pollock , Martyn Sanderson , Peter Tait and Stephan Ure ( de ) ) sued over the lack of revenue from merchandise bearing their appearance . The case was resolved out of court in 2008 . The settlement came too late for Appleby , who died of cancer in 2007 . Saul Zaentz also filed a lawsuit in 2004 claiming he had not been paid all of his royalties . The next year , Jackson himself sued the studio over profits from the first film , slowing development of the prequels until late 2007 . The Tolkien Trust filed a lawsuit in February 2008 , for violating Tolkien 's original deal over the rights that they would earn 7.5 % of the gross from any films based on his works . The Trust sought compensation of $150 million . A judge denied them this option , but allowed them to win compensation from the act of the studio ignoring the contract itself . On 8 September 2009 , a settlement of this dispute between the Trust and New Line was announced , clearing a potential obstacle to the making of a new film based on The Hobbit . Video games ( edit ) Numerous video games have been released to supplement the film series . The releases include : The Two Towers , Pinball , The Return of the King , The Third Age , The Third Age ( GBA ) , Tactics , The Battle for Middle - earth , The Battle for Middle - earth II , The Battle for Middle - earth II : The Rise of the Witch - king , The Lord of the Rings Online , Conquest , Aragorn 's Quest , War in the North , Lego The Lord of the Rings , Guardians of Middle - earth , Lego The Hobbit ( video game ) , Middle - earth : Shadow of Mordor , and Middle - earth : Shadow of War . The Hobbit ( edit ) Main article : The Hobbit ( film series ) Peter Jackson also directed three films based on Tolkien 's earlier 1937 novel The Hobbit . The first film , The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey , was released on 12 December 2012 , the second film , The Hobbit : The Desolation of Smaug , was released on 13 December 2013 , and the third film , The Hobbit : The Battle of the Five Armies , was released on 17 December 2014 . Several actors from The Lord of the Rings , including Ian McKellen , Andy Serkis , Hugo Weaving , Elijah Wood , Ian Holm ( as older Bilbo ) , Christopher Lee , Cate Blanchett and Orlando Bloom reprised their roles .

"Considered to be one of the biggest and most ambitious film projects ever undertaken, with an overall budget of $281 million (some sources say $310-$330 million),[2] the entire project took eight years, with the filming for all three films done simultaneously and entirely in New Zealand, Jackson's native country.[3] Each film in the series also had special extended editions released on DVD a year after their respective theatrical releases. While the films follow the book's general storyline, they do omit some of the novel's plot elements and include some additions to and deviations from the source material."

-2545004465198977073 | African Footballer of the Year | African Footballer of the Year - wikipedia African Footballer of the Year Jump to : navigation , search The African Footballer of the Year award , presented to the best African footballer each year , has been conferred by the Confederation of African Football ( CAF ) since 1992 . An earlier African Footballer of the Year Golden Ball award was given out between 1970 and 1994 by France Football magazine . The changes resulted in parallel Golden Ball awards given out to Abedi Pele and George Weah in 1993 and 1994 by the magazine although the CAF sponsored awards for those years were won respectively by Rashidi Yekini and Emmanuel Amuneke , as well as two awards given to Abedi Pelé in 1992 . France Football discontinued the election from 1995 after the European Ballon d'Or -- also awarded by the magazine -- had been opened to all players in the European leagues . On 2 February 2008 , Sevilla 's Frédéric Kanouté was named the 2007 African Footballer of the Year . Kanouté , who was born in France , is the first European - born player to win the award ( he plays for his father 's native country of Mali ) .

Lakhdar Belloumi , winner of the award in 1981 . Mahmoud El Khatib was the first player from Egypt to win the award in 1983 . The award by France Football magazine was awarded to the best African footballer between 1970 and 1994 . The award was discontinued in 1995 after the European Footballer of the Year ( Ballon d'Or ) was opened to players of non-European nationality , the award being given to George Weah that year .

The film was released in the United States on May 11 , 2018 . It grossed $51 million and received mixed reviews , with critics praising Union 's performance but describing the film as having `` thinly sketched characters and a slapdash plot . '' Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Reception 4.1 Box office 4.2 Critical response 5 References 6 External links Plot ( edit ) After her father Isaac 's murder , Shaun Russell travels to the house she grew up in with her two children , daughter Jasmine and son Glover . Shaun intends to settle her father 's estate and sell the remotely - located house , which has multiple security features , including a hand - held remote monitor . The security system is off - line at their arrival , but is soon reactivated by Jasmine . Unknown to the family , four criminals -- Peter , Sam , Duncan , and their leader Eddie -- are already in the house . Jasmine and Glover are taken hostage while Shaun is outside . Peter chases Shaun into the woods , where she manages to knock him unconscious . She leaves him bound and gagged , and uses the intercom to call the house . Eddie tells her they only came for the safe and the $4 million they believe is inside ; Isaac was under investigation and Sam had learned that he liquidated his assets . The crew has only 90 minutes from when they cut the phone line before the security company will contact police , so they want to find it and leave quickly . Concealed in the trees , Shaun sees Maggie , the realtor , arrive with paperwork for the house sale . Eddie greets her at the door , explaining Shaun had gone into town briefly , and invites her in . Maggie notices Shaun 's purse on the table behind Eddie and declines . As Maggie is leaving , Duncan attacks and slits her throat , which upsets Eddie , as it means Shaun wo n't be as controllable . Shaun eventually finds her way into the house , and gives instructions to Jasmine . When Eddie and Duncan next threaten the children , Jasmine leads them to the safe , which Shaun believes only Peter knows how to open . Shaun returns with Peter , a knife at his throat , demanding her family 's release . Eddie shoots Peter dead , and Shaun flees back to the woods . Peter had a flash drive containing computer code on a necklace , which is all they needed to unlock the safe . With the money in a bag , Eddie now intends to burn the house with the children in it to cover their escape , which Sam is uncomfortable with . Duncan and Sam find Shaun on the roof during another rescue attempt . She jumps , pushing Sam off to his death , saving herself with the rope she had tied to the roof . Meanwhile Jasmine frees herself and Glover , having cut through their bonds with a shard of glass from a broken lamp . The children escape the house and join their mother with Eddie in pursuit , but they have Sam 's truck keys . Shaun runs over Duncan as they try to drive away , but Eddie shoots at the truck and causes it to crash . Shaun and the kids lock themselves in the house , thinking it 's all over , until they discover the bag of money is also inside . Shaun 's husband Justin arrives unexpectedly ; Eddie attacks him and convinces Shaun to unlock the door . He finds Shaun with the money bag , doused in gasoline , and holding a lighter ; if he kills her , the lighter will ignite the bag and he loses . He unloads his gun and Shaun lets him take the bag . However , Duncan appears and stabs Eddie to death . He goes after Shaun and threatens to rape her and Jasmine . Jasmine arrives to help her mom , but Duncan overpowers her . Shaun swipes Duncan 's knife and stabs him dead . As the sun rises and police approach , Shaun goes outside to hold Justin and her kids close .

1770059236239908688 | Wreck of the RMS Titanic | Wreck of the RMS Titanic - wikipedia Wreck of the RMS Titanic This is the latest accepted revision , reviewed on 11 October 2017 . Jump to : navigation , search Wreck of the RMS Titanic Bow of the RMS Titanic , photographed in 2004 Event Shipwreck of RMS Titanic Cause Struck an iceberg while on maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City Location 370 miles ( 600 km ) south - southeast of Newfoundland , North Atlantic Ocean Operator White Star Line ( now merged with Cunard Line ) The wreck of the RMS Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet ( 3,800 m ) ( 2.37 miles ( 3.81 km ) ) , about 370 miles ( 600 km ) south - southeast off the coast of Newfoundland . It lies in two main pieces about a third of a mile ( 600 m ) apart . The bow is still largely recognizable with many preserved interiors , despite its deterioration and the damage it sustained hitting the sea floor . In contrast , the stern is completely ruined . A debris field around the wreck contains hundreds of thousands of items spilled from the ship as she sank . The bodies of the passengers and crew would have also been distributed across the sea bed , but have been consumed by other organisms . Titanic sank in 1912 , when she collided with an iceberg during her maiden voyage . The wreck could not be located at the time and was not discovered until 1985 . Numerous expeditions tried using sonar to map the sea bed in the hope of spotting it , but were unsuccessful . The wreck was finally located by a joint French - American expedition led by Jean - Louis Michel of IFREMER and Robert Ballard of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution . The wreck has been the focus of intense interest since its discovery and has been visited by numerous expeditions , including salvage operations which have controversially recovered thousands of items which have been conserved and put on public display . Over the years after her sinking , many impractical , expensive and often physically impossible schemes have been put forward to raise Titanic from her resting place . They have included ideas such as filling the wreck with ping - pong balls , injecting it with 180,000 tons of Vaseline , or using half a million tons of liquid nitrogen to encase it inside a giant iceberg that would float back to the surface . However , the wreck is far too fragile to be raised and is now protected by a UNESCO convention .

Almost immediately after Titanic sank on 15 April 1912 , proposals were advanced to salvage her from her resting place in the North Atlantic Ocean , despite her exact location and condition being unknown . The families of several wealthy victims of the disaster -- the Guggenheims , Astors , and Wideners -- formed a consortium and contracted the Merritt and Chapman Derrick and Wrecking Company to raise Titanic . The project was soon abandoned as impractical as the divers could not even reach a significant fraction of the necessary depth , where the pressure is over 6,000 pounds per square inch ( 410 bar ) . The lack of submarine technology at the time as well as the outbreak of World War I also put off such a project . The company considered dropping dynamite on the wreck to dislodge bodies which would float to the surface , but finally gave up after oceanographers suggested that the extreme pressure would have compressed the bodies into gelatinous lumps . ( In fact , this was incorrect . Whale falls , a phenomenon not discovered until 1987 -- coincidentally , by the same submersible used for the first manned expedition to Titanic the year before -- demonstrate that water - filled corpses , in this case cetaceans , can sink to the bottom essentially intact . The high pressure and cold temperature of the water would have prevented significant quantities of gas forming during decomposition , preventing the bodies of Titanic victims from rising back to the surface . ) In later years , numerous proposals were put forward to salvage Titanic . However , all fell afoul of practical and technological difficulties , a lack of funding and , in many cases , a lack of understanding of the physical conditions at the wreck site . Charles Smith , an architect from Denver , proposed in March 1914 to attach electromagnets to a submarine which would be irresistibly drawn to the wreck 's steel hull . Having found its exact position , more electromagnets would be sent down from a fleet of barges which would winch Titanic to the surface . An estimated cost of $1.5 million ( £ 35,451,827 today ) and its impracticality meant that the idea was not put into practice . Another proposal involved raising Titanic by means of attaching balloons to her hull using electromagnets . Once enough balloons had been attached , the ship would float gently to the surface . Again , the idea got no further than the drawing board . Salvage proposals in the 1960s and 1970s ( edit ) Titanic surfacing in the film Raise the Titanic In the mid-1960s , a hosiery worker from Baldock named Douglas Woolley devised a plan to find Titanic using a bathyscaphe ( like Trieste , used to reach the bottom of the Mariana Trench in 1960 ) and raise the wreck by inflating nylon balloons that would be attached to her hull . The declared objective was to `` bring the wreck into Liverpool and convert it to a floating museum . '' The Titanic Salvage Company was established to manage the scheme and a group of businessmen from West Berlin set up an entity called Titanic - Tresor to support it financially . It fell apart when its proponents found they could not overcome the problem of how the balloons would be inflated in the first place . Calculations showed that it could take ten years to generate enough gas to overcome the water pressure . A variety of audacious but equally impractical schemes were put forward during the 1970s . One proposal called for 180,000 tons of molten wax ( or alternatively , Vaseline ) to be pumped into Titanic , lifting her to the surface . Another proposal involved filling Titanic with ping - pong balls , but overlooked the fact that the balls would be crushed by the pressure long before reaching the depth of the wreck . A similar idea involving the use of Benthos glass spheres , which could survive the pressure , was scuppered when the cost of the number of spheres required was put at over $238 million . An unemployed haulage contractor from Walsall named Arthur Hickey proposed to turn Titanic into an iceberg , freezing the water around the wreck to encase it in a buoyant jacket of ice . This , being lighter than liquid water , would float to the surface and could be towed to shore . The BOC Group calculated that this would require half a million tons of liquid nitrogen to be pumped down to the sea bed . In his 1976 thriller Raise the Titanic ! , author Clive Cussler 's hero Dirk Pitt repairs the holes in Titanic 's hull , pumps it full of compressed air and succeeds in making it `` leap out of the waves like a modern submarine blowing its ballast tanks '' , a scene depicted on the posters of the subsequent film of the book . Although this was an `` artistically stimulating '' highlight of the film , made using a 55 ft ( 17 m ) model of Titanic , it would not have been physically possible . At the time of the book 's writing , it was still believed that she sank in one piece . Robert Ballard of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution had long been interested in finding Titanic . Despite early negotiations with possible backers being abandoned when it emerged that they wanted to turn the wreck into souvenir paperweights , more sympathetic backers joined Ballard to form a company named Seasonics International Ltd. as a vehicle for rediscovering and exploring Titanic . In October 1977 he made his first attempt to find the ship with the aid of the Alcoa Corporation 's deep sea salvage vessel Seaprobe . This was essentially a drillship with sonar equipment and cameras attached to the end of the drilling pipe . It could lift objects from the seabed using a remote - controlled mechanical claw . The expedition ended in failure when the drilling pipe broke , sending 3,000 feet ( 910 m ) of pipe and $600,000 worth of electronics plunging to the sea bed . In 1978 , The Walt Disney Company and National Geographic magazine considered mounting a joint expedition to find Titanic , using the aluminium submersible Aluminaut . Titanic would have been well within the submersible 's depth limits , but the plans were abandoned for financial reasons . The following year , the British billionaire financier and tycoon Sir James Goldsmith set up Seawise & Titanic Salvage Ltd. with the involvement of underwater diving and photographic experts . His aim was to use the publicity of finding Titanic to promote his newly established magazine , NOW ! . An expedition to the North Atlantic was scheduled for 1980 but was cancelled due to financial difficulties . A year later , NOW ! folded after 84 issues with Goldsmith incurring huge financial losses . Fred Koehler , an electronics repairman from Coral Gables , Florida , sold his electronics shop to finance the completion of a two - man deep - sea submersible called Seacopter . He planned to dive to Titanic , enter the hull and retrieve a fabulous collection of diamonds rumored to be contained in the purser 's safe . However , he was unable to obtain financial backing for his planned expedition . Another proposal involved using a semi-submersible platform mounted with cranes , resting on two watertight supertankers , that would winch the wreck off the seabed and carry it to shore . A proponent was quoted as saying , `` It 's like the Great Wall of China -- given enough time and money and people , you can do anything . '' Time , money and people were not forthcoming and the proposal got no further than any of its predecessors . Jack Grimm 's expeditions , 1980 -- 1983 ( edit ) On 17 July 1980 , an expedition sponsored by Texan oilman Jack Grimm set off from Port Everglades , Florida , in the research vessel H.J.W. Fay. Grimm had previously sponsored expeditions to find Noah 's Ark , the Loch Ness Monster , Bigfoot , and the giant hole in the North Pole predicted by the pseudoscientific Hollow Earth hypothesis . To raise funds for his Titanic expedition , he obtained sponsorship from friends with whom he played poker , sold media rights through the William Morris Agency , commissioned a book , and obtained the services of Orson Welles to narrate a documentary . He acquired scientific support from Columbia University by donating $330,000 to the Lamont -- Doherty Geological Observatory for the purchase of a wide - sweep sonar , in exchange for five years ' use of the equipment and the services of technicians to support it . Drs . William B. Ryan of Columbia University and Fred Spiess of Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California joined the expedition as consultants . They nearly stayed ashore when Grimm introduced them to a new consultant -- a monkey called Titan , which was trained to point at a spot on the map to supposedly indicate where Titanic was . The scientists issued an ultimatum : `` It 's either us or the monkey . '' Grimm preferred the monkey , but was prevailed upon to leave it behind and bring the scientists instead . The results were inconclusive , as three weeks of surveying in almost continuous bad weather during July and August 1980 failed to find Titanic . The problem was exacerbated by technological limitations ; the Sea MARC sonar used by the expedition had a relatively low resolution and was a new and untested piece of equipment . It was nearly lost only 36 hours after it was first deployed when the tail was ripped off during a sharp turn , destroying the magnetometer , which would have been vital for detecting Titanic 's hull . Nonetheless it managed to survey an area of some 500 square nautical miles and identified 14 possible targets . Grimm mounted a second expedition in June 1981 aboard the research vessel Gyre , with Spiess and Ryan again joining the expedition . To increase their chances of finding the wreck , the team employed a much more capable sonar device , the Scripps Deep Tow . The weather was again very poor , but all 14 of the targets were successfully covered and found to be natural features . On the last day of the expedition , an object that looked like a propeller was found . Grimm announced on his return to Boston that Titanic had been found , but the scientists declined to endorse his identification . In July 1983 , Grimm went back a third time with Ryan aboard the research vessel Robert D. Conrad to have another look at the `` propeller '' . This time nothing was found and very bad weather brought an early end to the expedition . It later turned out that Sea MARC had actually passed over Titanic but had failed to detect it , while Deep Tow passed within 1.5 miles ( 2.4 km ) of the wreck . Discovery ( edit ) Dr. Robert D. Ballard , the discoverer of the wreck of Titanic in September 1985 D. Michael Harris and Jack Grimm had failed to find Titanic but their expeditions did succeed in producing fairly detailed mapping of the area in which the ship had sunk . It was clear that the position given in Titanic 's distress signals was inaccurate , which was a major expedition difficulty because it increased the search area 's already - massive size . Despite the failure of his 1977 expedition , Robert Ballard had not given up hope and devised new technologies and a new search strategy to tackle the problem . The new technology was a system called Argo / Jason . This consisted of a remotely controlled deep - sea vehicle called Argo , equipped with sonar and cameras and towed behind a ship , with a robot called Jason tethered to it that could roam the sea floor , take close - up images and gather specimens . The images from the system would be transmitted back to a control room on the towing vessel where they could be assessed immediately . Although it was designed for scientific purposes , it also had important military applications and the United States Navy agreed to sponsor the system 's development , on condition that it was to be used to carry out a number of programmes -- many still classified -- for the Navy . The Navy commissioned Ballard and his team to carry out a month - long expedition every year for four years , to keep Argo / Jason in good working condition . It agreed to Ballard 's proposal to use some of the time to search for Titanic once the Navy 's objectives had been met ; the search would provide an ideal opportunity to test Argo / Jason . In 1984 the Navy sent Ballard and Argo to map the wrecks of the sunken nuclear submarines USS Thresher and USS Scorpion , lost in the North Atlantic at depths of up to 9,800 feet ( 3,000 m ) . The expedition found the submarines and made an important discovery . As Thresher and Scorpion sank , debris spilled out from them across a wide area of the seabed and was sorted by the currents , so that light debris drifted furthest away from the site of the sinking . This `` debris field '' was far larger than the wrecks themselves . By following the comet - like trail of debris , the main pieces of wreckage could be found . A second expedition to map the wreck of Scorpion was mounted in 1985 . Only twelve days of search time would be left at the end of the expedition to look for Titanic . As Harris / Grimm 's unsuccessful efforts had taken more than forty days , Ballard decided that extra help would be needed . He approached the French national oceanographic agency , IFREMER , with which Woods Hole had previously collaborated . The agency had recently developed a high - resolution side - scan sonar called SAR and agreed to send a research vessel , Le Suroît , to survey the sea bed in the area where Titanic was believed to lie . The idea was for the French to use the sonar to find likely targets , and then for the Americans to use Argo to check out the targets and hopefully confirm whether they were in fact the wreck . The French team spent five weeks , from 5 July to 12 August 1985 , `` mowing the lawn '' -- sailing back and forth across the 150 - square - mile ( 390 km ) target area to scan the sea bed in a series of stripes . However , they found nothing , though it turned out that they had passed within a few hundred yards of Titanic in their first run . Ballard realized that looking for the wreck itself using sonar was unlikely to be successful and adopted a different tactic , drawing on the experience of the surveys of Thresher and Scorpion ; he would look for the debris field instead , using Argo 's cameras rather than sonar . Whereas sonar could not distinguish man - made debris on the sea bed from natural objects , cameras could . The debris field would also be a far bigger target , stretching a mile ( 1.6 km ) or longer , whereas Titanic itself was only 90 feet ( 27 m ) wide . The search required round - the - clock towing of Argo back and forth above the sea bed , with shifts of watchers aboard the research vessel Knorr looking at the camera pictures for any sign of debris . After a week of fruitless searching , at 12.48 am on Sunday 1 September 1985 pieces of debris began to appear on Knorr 's screens . One of them was identified as a boiler , identical to those shown in pictures from 1911 . The following day , the main part of the wreck was found and Argo sent back the first pictures of Titanic since her sinking 73 years before . The discovery made headlines around the world . Subsequent expeditions ( edit ) 1986 -- 1998 ( edit ) DSV Alvin , used in 1986 to mount the first manned expedition to the wreck of Titanic Following his discovery of the wreck site , Ballard returned to Titanic in July 1986 aboard the research vessel RV Atlantis II . Now the deep - diving submersible DSV Alvin could take people back to Titanic for the first time since her sinking , and the remotely operated vehicle ( ROV ) Jason Jr. would allow the explorers to investigate the interior of the wreck . Another system , ANGUS , was used to carry out photo surveys of the debris field . Jason Jr. descended the ruined Grand Staircase as far as B Deck , and photographed remarkably well preserved interiors , including some chandeliers still hanging from the ceilings . Between 25 July and 10 September 1987 , an expedition mounted by IFREMER and a consortium of American investors which included George Tulloch , G. Michael Harris , D. Michael Harris and Ralph White made 32 dives to Titanic using the submersible Nautile . Controversially , they salvaged and brought ashore more than 1,800 objects . A joint Russian - Canadian - American expedition took place in 1991 using the research vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh and its two MIR submersibles . Sponsored by Stephen Low and IMAX , CBS , National Geographic and others , the expedition carried out extensive scientific research with a crew of 130 scientists and engineers . The MIRs carried out 17 dives , spending over 140 hours at the bottom , shooting 40,000 feet ( 12,000 m ) of IMAX film . This was used to create the 1995 documentary film Titanica , which was later released in the US on DVD in a re-edited version narrated by Leonard Nimoy . IFREMER and RMS Titanic Inc. , the successors to the sponsors of the 1987 expedition , returned to the wreck with Nautile and the ROV Robin in June 1993 . Over the course of fifteen days , Nautile made fifteen dives lasting between eight and twelve hours . Another 800 artefacts were recovered during the expedition including a two - tonne piece of a reciprocating engine , a lifeboat davit and the steam whistle from the ship 's forward funnel . In 1993 , 1994 , 1996 , 1998 and 2000 , RMS Titanic Inc. carried out an intensive series of dives that led to the recovery of over 4,000 items in the first two expeditions alone . The 1996 expedition controversially attempted to raise a section of Titanic itself , a section of the outer hull that originally comprised part of the wall of two First Class cabins on C Deck , extending down to D Deck . It weighed 20 tons , measured 15 by 25 feet ( 4.6 m × 7.6 m ) and had four portholes in it , three of which still had glass in them . The section had come loose either during the sinking or as a result of the impact with the sea bed . Its recovery using diesel - filled floatation bags was turned into something of an entertainment event with two cruise ships accompanying the expedition to the wreck site . Passengers were offered the chance , at $5,000 per person , to watch the recovery on television screens in their cabins while enjoying luxury accommodation , Las Vegas - style shows and casino gambling aboard the ships . Various celebrities were recruited to enliven the proceedings , including Burt Reynolds , Debbie Reynolds and Buzz Aldrin , and `` Grand Receptions '' for VIPs were scheduled on - shore where the hull section would be displayed . However , the lift ended disastrously when rough weather caused the ropes supporting the bags to snap . At the moment the ropes broke , the hull section had been lifted to within only 200 feet ( 61 m ) of the surface . It hurtled 12,000 feet ( 3,700 m ) back down , embedding itself upright on the sea floor . Although the attempt was strongly criticised by marine archaeologists , scientists and historians as a money - making publicity stunt , a second , successful attempt to lift the fragment was carried out in 1998 . The so - called `` Big Piece '' was conserved in a laboratory in Santa Fe for two years before being put on display at the Luxor Las Vegas hotel and casino . In 1995 , Canadian director James Cameron chartered the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh and the MIRs to make 12 dives to Titanic . He used the resulting footage to considerable effect in his blockbuster 1997 film Titanic . The discovery of the wreck in 1985 and a National Geographic documentary of Ballard 's 1986 expedition had inspired Cameron to write a synopsis in 1987 of what eventually became the film Titanic : `` Do story with bookends of present day scene of wreck using submersibles intercut with memories of a survivor and re-created scenes of the night of the sinking . A crucible of human values under stress . '' Cameron 's expedition did not salvage anything from the ship . 2000 -- present ( edit ) The partly collapsed bathroom of Captain Edward Smith , with the bathtub now filled with rusticles The 2000 expedition by RMS Titanic Inc. carried out 28 dives during which over 800 artefacts were recovered , including the ship 's engine telegraphs , perfume vials and watertight door gears . In 2001 , an American couple -- David Leibowitz and Kimberly Miller -- caused controversy when they were married aboard a submersible that had set down on the bow of Titanic , in a deliberate echo of a famous scene from James Cameron 's 1997 film . The wedding was essentially a publicity stunt , sponsored by a British company called SubSea Explorer which had offered a free dive to Titanic that Leibowitz had won . He asked whether his fiancée could come too and was told that she could -- but only if she agreed to get married during the trip . The same company also brought along Philip Littlejohn , the grandson of one of Titanic 's surviving crew members , who became the first relative of a Titanic passenger or crew member to visit the wreck . Cameron himself also returned to Titanic in 2001 to carry out filming for Walt Disney Pictures ' Ghosts of the Abyss , filmed in 3D . In 2003 and 2004 , the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration carried out two expeditions to Titanic . The first , carried out between 22 June and 2 July 2003 , performed four dives in two days . Its key aims were to assess the current condition of the wreck site and carry out scientific observations to support ongoing research . The stern section , which had previously received relatively little attention from explorers , was specifically targeted for analysis . The microbial colonies aboard Titanic were also a key focus of investigation . The second expedition , from 27 May -- 12 June 2004 , saw the return of Robert Ballard to Titanic nearly 20 years after he discovered it . The expedition spent 11 days on the wreck , carrying out high - resolution mapping using video and stereoscopic still images . 2005 saw two expeditions to the Titanic . James Cameron returned for the third and last time to film Last Mysteries of the Titanic . Another expedition searched for previously unseen pieces of wreckage , and led to the documentary Titanic 's Final Moments : Missing Pieces . RMS Titanic Inc. mounted further expeditions to Titanic in 2004 and 2010 , when the first comprehensive map of the entire debris field was produced . Two autonomous underwater vehicles -- torpedo - shaped robots -- repeatedly ran backwards and forwards across the 3 by 5 miles ( 4.8 km × 8.0 km ) debris field , taking sonar scans and over 130,000 high - resolution images . This enabled a detailed photomosaic of the debris field to be created for the first time , giving scientists a much clearer view of the dynamics of the ship 's sinking . The expedition encountered difficulties : several hurricanes passed over the wreck site , and the Remora ROV was caught in a piece of wreckage . This same year saw the discovery of the new bacteria living in the rusticles on the Titanic , Halomonas titanicae . Tourist and scientific visits to Titanic are still continuing ; by April 2012 , 100 years since the disaster and nearly 25 since the discovery of the wreck , around 140 people had visited . On 14 April 2012 ( the 100th anniversary of the ship 's sinking ) , the wreck of the Titanic became eligible for protection under the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage . In the same month , Robert Ballard , the wreck 's discoverer , announced a plan to preserve the wreck of the Titanic by using deep - sea robots to paint the wreck with anti-fouling paint , to help keep the wreck in its current state for all time . The proposed plan that Ballard announced has been outlined in a documentary made to time with the Titanic 's 100th sinking anniversary called Save the Titanic With Bob Ballard where Ballard himself talks about how this proposed paint job on the wreck will work . Ballard says that he proposed to robotically clean and repaint the Titanic with a colour scheme mimicking rusticles because he saw `` original anti-fouling paint on the ship 's hull , which was still working even after 74 years on the seabed '' when he visited the Titanic in 1986 . Description of the wreck ( edit ) The position of the wreck is a considerable distance from the location transmitted by the ship 's wireless operators before she went down . The initial location was given as 41 ° 44 ′ N 50 ° 24 ′ W / 41.733 ° N 50.400 ° W / 41.733 ; - 50.400 ( RMS Titanic 's initial reported position ) , 20.8 miles ( 33.5 km ) from the wreck . A corrected location was later transmitted as 41 ° 46 ′ N 50 ° 14 ′ W / 41.767 ° N 50.233 ° W / 41.767 ; - 50.233 ( RMS Titanic 's corrected reported position ) , but this too was inaccurate , by 13.2 miles ( 21.2 km ) . Titanic is in two main pieces 370 miles ( 600 km ) south - east of Mistaken Point , Newfoundland . The bow is located at 41 ° 43 ′ 57 '' N 49 ° 56 ′ 49 '' W / 41.73250 ° N 49.94694 ° W / 41.73250 ; - 49.94694 ( Position of RMS Titanic 's bow section ) Coordinates : 41 ° 43 ′ 57 '' N 49 ° 56 ′ 49 '' W / 41.73250 ° N 49.94694 ° W / 41.73250 ; - 49.94694 ( Position of RMS Titanic 's bow section ) and the stern is about 1,970 feet ( 600 m ) to the south at 41 ° 43 ′ 35 '' N 49 ° 56 ′ 54 '' W / 41.72639 ° N 49.94833 ° W / 41.72639 ; - 49.94833 ( Position of RMS Titanic 's stern section ) . The boilers found by Argo , which mark the point at which the ship went down , are about 600 feet ( 180 m ) east of the stern at 41 ° 43 ′ 32 '' N 49 ° 56 ′ 49 '' W / 41.72556 ° N 49.94694 ° W / 41.72556 ; - 49.94694 ( Position of RMS Titanic boilers located by Argo ) . The two main parts of the wreck of Titanic present a striking contrast . Although fourteen survivors testified that the ship had broken apart as she sank , this testimony was discounted by the official inquiries , and it was supposed that the ship had sunk intact . It is now clear that the stresses on Titanic caused the ship to split apart between the second and third funnels at or just below the surface . Bow section ( edit ) The bow section , which measures about 470 feet ( 140 m ) long , is thought to have descended at an angle of about 45 ° . Its distance from the stern was caused by its planing forward horizontally by about 1 foot ( 0.30 m ) for every 6 feet ( 1.8 m ) of its descent . During the descent to the sea bed , the funnels were swept away , taking with them the rigging and large lengths of cables . These dragged along the boat deck , tearing away many of the davits and much of the other deck equipment . The foremast was also torn down , falling onto the port bridge area . The ship 's wheelhouse was swept away , possibly after being hit by the falling foremast . The bow hit the bottom at a speed of about 20 knots ( 23 mph ; 37 km / h ) , digging about 60 feet ( 18 m ) deep into the mud , up to the base of the anchors . The impact bent the hull in two places and caused it to buckle downwards by about 10 ° under the forward well deck cranes and by about 4 ° under the forward expansion joint . When the bow section hit the sea bed , the weakened decks at the rear , where the ship had broken apart , collapsed on top of each other . The forward hatch cover was also blown off and landed a couple of hundred feet in front of the bow , possibly due to the force of water being pushed out as the bow impacted the bottom . The area around the bridge is particularly badly damaged ; as Robert Ballard has put it , it looks `` as if it had been squashed by a giant 's fist '' . The roof of the officers ' quarters and the sides of the gymnasium appear pushed in , railings were bent outwards and vertical steel columns supporting the decks were bent into a C - shape . Charles R. Pellegrino has proposed that this was the result of a `` down - blast '' of water , caused by a slipstream that had followed the bow section as it fell towards the sea bed . According to Pellegrino 's hypothesis , when the bow came to an abrupt halt the inertia of the slipstream caused a rapidly moving column of water weighing thousands of tons to strike the top of the wreck , striking it near the bridge . This , argues Pellegrino , caused large parts of the bow 's interior to be demolished by surges of water and violent eddies kicked up by the wreck 's sudden halt . The damage caused by the collision with the iceberg is not visible at the bow as it is buried under mud . Interiors ( edit ) See also : First class facilities of the RMS Titanic Despite the exterior devastation caused by the bow 's descent and collision with the ocean floor , there are parts of the interior in reasonably good condition . The bow 's slow flooding and its relatively smooth descent to the sea floor mitigated interior damage . The stairwell of the First - Class Grand Staircase between the Boat Deck and E Deck is an empty chasm within the wreck , providing a convenient point of access for ROVs . Dense rusticles hanging from the steel decking combined with the deep layers of silt that have accumulated in the interior make navigating the wreck disorienting . Passenger staterooms have largely deteriorated because they were framed in perishable softwoods like teak and pine , leaving a warren of hanging electrical wire , light fixtures and debris interspersed with more durable items like brass bed frames , light fixtures , and marble - topped washstands . Woodwork with attachments like doorknobs , drawer - pulls or push - plates survive in better condition because of the small electric charge emitted by metal which repels fish and other harmful organisms . On the whole hardwoods like mahogany , the material for most stateroom furnishings , is more resistant to decay . Lavatories and bathrooms within the passenger quarters survive because they were framed in steel . The only intact public rooms remaining in either the stern or bow sections are the First - Class Reception Room and Dining Saloon , both on D - Deck . Most of the Dining Saloon has collapsed because of its proximity to the break - up point midships , but the very forward part is accessible and the rectangular leaded glass windows , table bases , and ceiling lamps are noticeably preserved . The Reception Room with its leaded glass windows and mahogany paneling remains remarkably intact , although the ceiling is sagging and there is a deep layer of silt obstructing the floor . The Turkish Baths on F - Deck were found to be in excellent condition during their rediscovery in 2005 , preserving the blue - green tiles , carved teak woodwork , bronze lamps , and inlaid furniture . The Grand Staircase was very likely destroyed during the sinking , but the surrounding First - Class foyers and elevator entrances preserve many of the ormolu and crystal lamps , oak timbers , and oak - framed stanchions . In addition to the passenger areas , crew areas like the Firemen 's Mess , dormitories , parts of `` Scotland Road '' on E-Deck and the cargo holds on the Orlop Deck have also been explored . The Ghosts of the Abyss expedition in 2001 attempted to locate the famed Renault automobile belonging to William Carter , but the cargo was indistinguishable beneath the silt and rusticles . Stern section ( edit ) The stern section , which measures about 350 feet ( 110 m ) long , was catastrophically damaged during the descent and in landing on the sea bed . It had not fully filled with water when it sank and the increasing water pressure caused trapped air pockets to implode , tearing apart the hull . Data from a sonar map made during a 2010 expedition showed that the stern section rotated like a helicopter blade as it sank . The rudder appears to have swung over to an angle of about 30 -- 45 ° during the stern 's descent , causing the section to follow a tight spiral to the bottom . It probably struck rudder - first , burying most of the rudder in the mud up to a depth of 50 feet ( 15 m ) . The decks pancaked on top of each other and the hull plating splayed out to the sides of the shattered section . The pancaking is so severe that the combined height of the decks , which are piled up on top of the reciprocating engines , is now generally not more than about 12 to 15 feet ( 3.7 to 4.6 m ) high . No individual deck is more than about 1 foot ( 30 cm ) high . Large sections of the hull plating seem to have fallen off well before the wreck hit the bottom . One such section , thought to have been from the galleys , separated from the stern in one piece and landed nearby . The force of the water tore up the poop deck and folded it back on itself . The center propeller is totally buried , while the force of the impact caused the two wing propellers and shafts to be bent upwards by an angle of about 20 ° . A large V - shaped section of the ship just aft of midships , running from the keel upwards through Number 1 Boiler Room and upwards to cover the area under the third and fourth funnels , was believed to have disintegrated entirely when the ship broke up . This was one of the weakest parts of the ship as a result of the presence of two large open spaces -- the forward end of the engine room and the aft First Class passenger staircase . The rest of this part of the ship are scattered across the seabed at distances of 130 to 260 feet ( 40 to 79 m ) from the main part of the stern . During the 2010 expedition to map the wreck site , a major chunk of the deck house ( the base of the third funnel ) along with pieces of the third funnel was found . This showed that instead of simply disintegrating into a mass of debris , large sections of the ship broke off in chunks and that the ship broke in half between the second and third funnels , not the third and fourth funnels . Five of the boilers from Number 1 Boiler Room came loose during its disintegration and landed in the debris field around the stern . Experts believe that this tight cluster of the boilers marks the hypocenter of where the ship broke up 12,000 feet above . The rest of the boilers are still presumably located in the bow section . Debris fields ( edit ) As Titanic broke apart , many objects and pieces of hull were scattered across the sea bed . There are two debris fields in the vicinity of the wreck , each between 2,000 -- 2,600 ft ( 610 -- 790 m ) long , trailing in a south - westerly direction from the bow and stern . They cover an area of about 2 square miles ( 5.2 km ) . Most of the debris is concentrated near the stern section of Titanic . It consists of thousands of objects from the interior of the ship , ranging from tons of coal spilled from ruptured bunkers to suitcases , clothes , corked wine bottles ( many still intact despite the pressure ) , bathtubs , windows , washbasins , jugs , bowls , hand mirrors and numerous other personal effects . The debris field also includes numerous pieces of the ship itself , with the largest pieces of debris in the vicinity of the partially disintegrated stern section . Condition and deterioration of the wreck ( edit ) A rattail or grenadier fish , typical of the deep - sea fauna around Titanic Prior to the discovery of Titanic 's wreck , in addition to the common assumption that she had sunk in one piece , it had been widely believed that conditions at 12,000 feet down would preserve the ship virtually intact . The water is bitterly cold at only about 1 -- 2 ° C ( 34 -- 36 ° F ) , there is no light and the high pressure was thought to be likely to lower oxygen and salinity levels to the point that organisms would not be able to gain a foothold on the wreck . Titanic would effectively be in a deep freeze . The reality has turned out to be very different , and the ship has increasingly deteriorated since she sank in April 1912 . Her gradual decay is due to a number of different processes -- physical , chemical and biological . She is situated on an undulating , gently sloping area of seabed in Titanic Canyon which is swept by the Western Boundary Current . Eddies from the current flow constantly across the wreck , scouring the sea bed and keeping sediment from building up over the hull . The current is strong and often changeable , gradually opening up holes in the ship 's hull . Salt corrosion eats away at the hull and it is also affected by galvanic corrosion . The most dramatic deterioration has been caused by biological factors . It used to be thought that the depths of the ocean were a lifeless desert , but research carried out since the mid-1980s has found that the ocean floor is teeming with life and may rival the tropical rainforests for biodiversity . During the 1991 IMAX expedition , scientists were surprised by the variety of organisms that they found in and around Titanic . A total of 28 species were observed , including sea anemones , crabs , shrimp , starfish , and rattail fish up to a yard ( 1 m ) long . Much larger creatures have been glimpsed by explorers . Some of Titanic 's fauna has never been seen anywhere else ; James Cameron 's 2001 expedition discovered a previously unknown type of sea cucumber , lavender with a glowing row of phosphorescent `` portholes '' along its side . A newly discovered species of rust - eating bacterium found on the ship has been named Halomonas titanicae , which has been found to cause rapid decay of the wreck . Henrietta Mann , who discovered the bacteria , has estimated that the Titanic will completely collapse possibly as soon as 2025 . The Canadian geophysicist Steve Blasco has commented that the wreck `` has become an oasis , a thriving ecosystem sitting in a vast desert . '' In mid 2016 , using an imaging technique neutron radiation , the facilities of the Institut Laue - Langevin demonstrate that a molecule called ectoine is used by Halomonas titanicae to survive the osmotic pressure that causes salt water on their membranes . Analysis by Henrietta Mann and Bhavleen Kaur , both of Dalhousie University in Halifax , Nova Scotia , in conjunction with other scientists and researchers of the University of Seville in Spain , has determined that the wreck of Titanic will not exist by 2037 and that preservation of Titanic is impossible . `` Unfortunately , because Titanic is 2.3 miles down , it is very difficult or impossible to preserve . It is film which will preserve it for history now , '' says Mann . `` It has already lasted for 100 years , but eventually there will be nothing left but a rust stain on the bottom of the Atlantic ... I think Titanic has maybe 15 or 20 years left . I do n't think it will have too much longer than that . '' Other scientists have estimated that Titanic will last no longer than 14 years , as of 2017 . The soft organic material aboard and dispersed onto the seabed around the hull would have been the first to disappear , rapidly devoured by fish and crustaceans . Wood - boring molluscs such as Teredo colonized the ship 's decks and interior in huge numbers , eating away the wooden decking and other wooden objects such as furniture , paneling , doors and staircase banisters . When their food ran out they died , leaving behind calcareous tubes . The question of the victims ' bodies is one that has often troubled explorers of the wreck site . When the debris field was surveyed in Robert Ballard 's 1986 expedition , pairs of shoes were observed lying next to each other on the sea bed . The flesh , bones , and clothes had long since been consumed but the tannin in the shoes ' leather had apparently resisted the bacteria , leaving the shoes as the only markers of where a body had once lain . Ballard has suggested that skeletons may remain deep within Titanic 's hull , such as in the engine rooms or third - class cabins . This has been disputed by scientists , who have estimated that the bodies would have completely disappeared by the early 1940s at the latest . In any event , the molluscs and scavengers did not consume everything organic . Some of the wooden objects on the ship and in the debris field have not been consumed , particularly those made of teak , a dense wood that seems to have resisted the borers . The First Class reception area off the ship 's Grand Staircase is still remarkably intact and furniture is still visible among the debris on the floor . Although most of the corridors have lost their walls , furniture is still in place in many cabins ; in one , a mattress is still on the bed , with an intact and undamaged dresser behind it . Robert Ballard has suggested that areas within the ship or buried under debris , where scavengers may not have been able to reach , may still contain human remains . According to Charles Pellegrino , who dived on Titanic in 2001 , a finger bone encircled by the partial remains of a wedding ring was found concreted to the bottom of a soup tureen that was retrieved from the debris field . It was returned to the sea bed on the next dive . Part of the Titanic wreck in 2003 with rusticles hanging from the hull The longest - lasting inhabitants of Titanic are likely to be bacteria and archaea which have colonized the metal hull of the ship . They have produced `` reddish - brown stalactites of rust ( hanging ) down as much as several feet , looking like long needle - like icicles '' , as Robert Ballard has put it . The formations , which Ballard dubbed `` rusticles '' , are extremely fragile and disintegrate in a cloud of particles if touched . The bacteria consume the iron in the hull , oxidizing it and leaving rust particles behind as a waste product . To protect themselves from the seawater , they secrete an acidic viscous slime that flows where gravity takes it , carrying ferric oxides and hydroxides . These form the rusticles . When scientists were able to retrieve a rusticle , it was discovered that it was far more complex than had been imagined , with complex systems of roots infiltrating the metal , interior channels , bundles of fibers , pores and other structures . Charles Pellegrino comments that they seem more akin to `` levels of tissue organization found in sponges or mosses and other members of the animal or plant kingdoms . '' The bacteria are estimated to be consuming Titanic 's hull at the rate of 400 pounds ( 180 kg ) per day , which is about 17 pounds ( 7.7 kg ) per hour or 4.4 ounces ( 120 grams ) per minute . Roy Collimore , a microbiologist , estimates that the bow alone now supports some 650 tons of rusticles and that they will have devoured fifty per cent of the hull within 200 years . Since Titanic 's wreck was discovered in 1985 , radical changes have been observed in the marine ecosystem around the ship . The 1996 expedition recorded 75 per cent more brittle stars and sea cucumbers than Ballard 's 1985 expedition , while crinoids and sea squirts had taken root all over the sea bed . Red krill had appeared and an unknown organism had built numerous nests across the seabed from black pebbles . The amount of rusticles on the ship had increased greatly . Curiously , the same thing had happened over about the same timescale to the wreck of the German battleship Bismarck , sunk at a depth of 4,791 metres ( 15,719 ft ) on the other side of the Atlantic . The mud around the ship was found to contain hundreds of different species of animals . The sudden explosion of life around Titanic may be a result of an increased amount of nutrients falling from the surface , possibly a result of human overfishing eliminating fish that would otherwise have consumed the nutrients . Many scientists , including Robert Ballard , are concerned that visits by tourists in submersibles and the recovery of artifacts are causing the wreck to decay faster . Underwater bacteria have been eating away at Titanic 's steel and transformed it into rust since the ship sank , but because of the extra damage caused by visitors , the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimates that `` the hull and structure of the ship may collapse to the ocean floor within the next 50 years . '' The promenade deck has deteriorated significantly in recent years , partly because of damage caused by submersibles landing on the ship . The mast has almost completely deteriorated and has been stripped of its bell and brass light . Other damage includes a gash on the bow section where block letters once spelled Titanic , part of the brass telemotor which once held the ship 's wooden wheel is now twisted and the crow 's nest has completely deteriorated . The Canadian director James Cameron is responsible for some of the more significant damage during his expedition to the ship in 1995 to acquire footage for his film Titanic two years later . One of the MIR submersibles used on the expedition collided with the hull , damaging both and leaving fragments of the submersible 's propeller shroud scattered around the superstructure . Captain Smith 's quarters were heavily damaged by the collapse of the external bulkhead , which exposed the cabin 's interior . Ownership ( edit ) Titanic 's discovery in 1985 sparked a debate over the ownership of the wreck and the valuable items inside and on the sea bed around it . Ballard and his crew did not bring up any artifacts from the wreck , considering such an act to be tantamount to grave robbing . Ballard has since argued strongly `` that it be left unmolested by treasure seekers '' . As Ballard has put it , the development of deep - sea submersibles has made `` the great pyramids of the deep ... accessible to man . He can either plunder them like the grave robbers of Egypt or protect them for the countless generations which will follow ours . '' However , within only two weeks of the discovery , a British insurance company claimed that it owned the wreck , and several more schemes to raise it were announced . A Belgian entrepreneur offered trips to Titanic for $25,000 a head . Spurred by Ballard 's appeals for the wreck to be left alone , North Carolina Congressman Walter B. Jones , Jr. introduced the RMS Titanic Maritime Memorial Act in the United States House of Representatives in 1986 . It called for strict scientific guidelines to be introduced to govern the exploration and salvage of Titanic and urged the United States Secretary of State to lobby Canada , the United Kingdom and France to pass similar legislation . It passed the House and Senate by an overwhelming majority and was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on 21 October 1986 . However , the law has been ineffective as the wreck lies outside United States waters , and the Act was set aside by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia , Norfolk Division , in 1998 . Although negotiations among the four countries were carried out between 1997 and 2000 , the resulting `` Agreement Concerning the Shipwrecked Vessel R.M.S. Titanic '' has been ratified by only the US and the UK . Litigation and controversy ( edit ) Telly Savalas presenting the much - criticized Return to Titanic Live show on 28 October 1987 Only a few days after Ballard 's discovery of the wreck , Jack Grimm -- the author of the unsuccessful early 1980s attempts to find Titanic -- claimed ownership of it on the grounds that he had allegedly been the first to find it . He announced that he intended to begin salvaging the wreck . He said that he `` ( could n't ) see them just lie there and be absorbed by the ocean floor . What possible harm can ( salvage ) do to this mass of twisted steel ? '' Titanic Ventures Inc. , a Connecticut - based consortium , co-sponsored a survey and salvage operation in 1987 with the French oceanographic agency IFREMER . The expedition produced an outcry , not least because of the damage that it caused to the wreck . When the crow 's nest bell was pulled from the mast , the crow 's nest itself , where the lookouts first saw the iceberg , collapsed . A Titanic survivor , Eva Hart , was outspoken in her condemnation of what many saw as the looting of a mass grave : `` To bring up those things from a mass sea grave just to make a few thousand pounds shows a dreadful insensitivity and greed . The grave should be left alone . They 're simply going to do it as fortune hunters , vultures , pirates ! '' Public misgivings were increased when , on 28 October 1987 , a glitzy television program titled Return to the Titanic Live was broadcast from the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris with Telly Savalas hosting . In front of a live TV audience , a valise recovered from the sea bed was opened , revealing a number of personal items apparently belonging to Richard L. Beckwith of New York , who survived the sinking . A safe was also opened , revealing a few items of memorabilia and some soggy banknotes . The tone of the event has been described by one commentator as `` unsympathetic , lack ( ing ) dignity and finesse , and ( with ) all the superficial qualities of a ' media event ' . '' The TV critic of The New York Times , John Corry , called the event `` a combination of the sacred and profane and sometimes the downright silly . '' Paul Heyer comments that it was `` presented as a kind of deep sea striptease '' and that Savalas `` seemed haggard , missed several cues and at one point almost tripped over a chair '' . Controversy persisted after the broadcast when claims were made that the safe had been opened beforehand and that the show had effectively been a fraud . In the meantime , Marex - Titanic Inc. was formed in 1992 to launch an expedition to the Titanic . Marex - Titanic 's CEO was James Kollar . The company was a subsidiary of Marex International , an international marine salvage firm located in Memphis , Tennessee . In 1992 Marex made a bid to seize control of the artefacts and the wreck itself by suing Titanic Ventures , arguing that the latter had abandoned its claim by not returning to the wreck since the 1987 expedition . It claimed a superior right of salvage based on a `` pill bottle '' and hull fragment that were said to have been retrieved by Marex . Marex simultaneously sent a vessel , the Sea Mussel , to carry out its own salvage operation . However , the Marex artefacts were alleged to have been illegally retrieved by the 1991 Russian - American - Canadian expedition and Marex was issued with a temporary injunction preventing it from carrying out its plans . In October 1992 the injunction was made permanent and the salvage claims of Titanic Ventures were upheld . The decision was later reversed by an appeals court but Marex 's claims were not renewed . Even so , Titanic Ventures ' control of the artefacts recovered in 1987 remained in question until 1993 when a French administrator in the Office of Maritime Affairs of the Ministry of Equipment , Transportation , and Tourism awarded the company title to the artefacts . In May 1993 Titanic Ventures sold its interests in the salvage operations and artefacts to RMS Titanic Inc. , a subsidiary of Premier Exhibitions Inc. headed by George Tulloch and Arnie Geller . It had to go through a laborious legal process of having itself legally recognised as the sole and exclusive salvager of the wreck . Its claim was opposed for a while by the Liverpool and London Steamship Protection and Indemnity Association , Titanic 's former insurer , but was eventually settled . It was awarded ownership and salvaging rights by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on 7 June 1994 in a ruling that declared the company to be the `` salvor in possession '' of the wreck . Litigation has continued over the artefacts in recent years . In a motion filed on 12 February 2004 , RMS Titanic Inc. requested that the United States district court enter an order awarding it `` title to all the artifacts ( including portions of the hull ) which are the subject of this action pursuant to the Law of Finds '' or , in the alternative , a salvage award in the amount of $225 million . RMS Titanic Inc. excluded from its motion any claim for an award of title to the objects recovered in 1987 , but it did request that the district court declare that , based on the French administrative action , `` the artifacts raised during the 1987 expedition are independently owned by RMST . '' Following a hearing , the district court entered an order dated 2 July 2004 , in which it refused to grant comity or recognise the 1993 decision of the French administrator , and rejected RMS Titanic Inc. 's claim that it should be awarded title to the items recovered since 1993 under the Maritime Law of Finds . RMS Titanic Inc. appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit . In its decision of 31 January 2006 the court recognised `` explicitly the appropriateness of applying maritime salvage law to historic wrecks such as that of Titanic '' and denied the application of the Maritime Law of Finds . The court also ruled that the district court lacked jurisdiction over the `` 1987 artifacts '' , and therefore vacated that part of the court 's 2 July 2004 order . In other words , according to this decision , RMS Titanic Inc. has ownership title to the objects awarded in the French decision ( valued $16.5 million earlier ) and continues to be salvor - in - possession of the Titanic wreck . The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court to determine the salvage award ( $225 million requested by RMS Titanic Inc . ) . On 24 March 2009 , it was revealed that the fate of 5,900 artefacts retrieved from the wreck would rest with a U.S. District Judge 's decision . The ruling was later issued in two decisions on 12 August 2010 and 15 August 2011 . As announced in 2009 , the judge ruled that RMS Titanic Inc. owned the artefacts and her decision dealt with the status of the wreck as well as establishing a monitoring system to check future activity upon the wreck site . On 12 August 2010 , Judge Rebecca Beach Smith granted RMS Titanic , Inc. fair market value for the artefacts but deferred ruling on their ownership and the conditions for their preservation , possible disposition and exhibition until a further decision could be reached . On 15 August 2011 , Judge Smith granted title to thousands of artefacts from the Titanic , that RMS Titanic Inc. did not already own under a French court decision concerning the first group of salvaged artefacts , to RMS Titanic Inc. subject to a detailed list of conditions concerning preservation and disposition of the items . The artefacts can be sold only to a company that would abide by the lengthy list of conditions and restrictions . RMS Titanic Inc. can profit from the artefacts through exhibiting them . RMS Titanic Inc. has also attempted to secure exclusive physical access to the wreck site . In 1996 , it obtained a court order finding that it had `` the exclusive right to take any and all types of photographic images of the Titanic wreck and wreck site . '' It obtained another order in 1998 against Deep Ocean Expeditions and Chris Haver , a British Virgin Islands corporation that aimed to run tourist trips to Titanic at a cost of $32,000 per person ( it now charges $60,000 ) . This was overturned in March 1999 by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit , which ruled that the law of salvage did not extend to obtaining exclusive rights to view , visit and photograph a wreck . The court pointed out that Titanic is `` located in a public place '' in international waters , rather than in a private or controllable location to which access could be restricted by the owner . Granting such a right would also create a perverse incentive ; since the aim of salvage is to carry out a salvage operation , leaving property in place so that it could be photographed would run counter to this objective . Conservation issues ( edit ) One of the pieces of coal retrieved from Titanic and controversially sold by RMS Titanic Inc . RMS Titanic Inc. has attracted considerable controversy for its approach to Titanic . Two rival camps have formed following the wreck 's discovery : the `` conservationists '' , championed by RMS Titanic Inc. 's George Tulloch ( who died in 2004 ) , and the `` protectionists '' , whose most prominent advocate is Robert Ballard . The first camp has argued that artefacts from around the wreck should be recovered and conserved , while the latter camp argues that the entire wreck site should have been left undisturbed as a mass grave . Both camps agree that the wreck itself should not be salvaged -- though RMS Titanic Inc. did not stick to its proclaimed `` hands - off '' policy when it managed to demolish Titanic 's crow 's nest in the course of retrieving the bell . Its predecessor Titanic Ventures agreed with IFREMER that it would not sell any of the artefacts but would put them on public display , for which it could charge an entry fee . Tulloch 's approach has undoubtedly resulted in outcomes that would not have been possible otherwise . In 1991 , he presented Edith Brown Haisman , a 96 - year - old survivor of the disaster , with her father 's pocket watch which had been retrieved from the sea bed . She had last seen it on 15 April 1912 when he waved goodbye to his wife and daughter as they left aboard lifeboat 14 . They never saw him again and he presumably went down with the ship . The watch was loaned to Haisman `` for life '' ; when she died four years later it was reclaimed by RMS Titanic Inc . On another occasion , a steamer trunk spotted in the debris field was found to contain three musical instruments , a deck of playing cards , a diary belonging to one Howard Irwin , and a bundle of letters from his girlfriend Pearl Shuttle . It was first thought that Irwin , a musician and professional gambler , had boarded the ship under a false identity . There was no record of him being among the passengers , even though a ticket had been purchased for him . It turned out that he had stayed ashore but his trunk had been brought aboard the ship by his friend Henry Sutehall , who was among the victims of the disaster . The fragile contents of the trunk were preserved due to the interior being starved of oxygen , which prevented bacteria from consuming the paper . Very few other shipwrecks have yielded readable paper . On the other hand , the heavily commercialised approach of RMS Titanic Inc. has caused repeated controversy and many have argued that salvaging Titanic is an inherently disrespectful act . The wreck site has been called a `` tomb and a reliquary '' , a `` gravestone for the 1,500 people who died '' and `` hallowed ground '' . Titanic historians John Eaton and Charles Haas argue that the salvagers are little more than `` plunderers and armchair salvage experts '' and others have characterised them as `` grave robbers '' . The Return to Titanic ... Live ! television show in 1987 was widely condemned as a `` circus '' , though the 1987 expedition 's scientific and financial leaders had no control over the show . In a particularly controversial episode , RMS Titanic Inc. sold some 80,000 lumps of coal retrieved from the debris field in order to fund the rumoured $17 million cost of lifting the `` Big Piece '' of the ship 's hull . It attempted to get around the no - sale agreement with IFREMER by charging the new owners a $25 `` fee '' to act as `` conservators '' , in order to claim that the coal lumps had not actually been sold . This attracted strong criticism from all sides . Nonetheless , in 1999 Tulloch was ousted by the company 's shareholders and was replaced by Arnie Geller , who promised a more aggressive approach to making a profit . The company declared that it had an `` absolute right '' to sell recovered gold , coins and currency . It was prevented from doing this by a court order in the United States and IFREMER withdrew its cooperation and its submersibles , threatening a lawsuit . Exhibitions of Titanic artifacts ( edit ) Pocket watch retrieved from an unknown victim of the disaster . It had stopped at 02 : 28 , a few minutes after its owner went into the water . Objects from Titanic have been exhibited for many years , though only a few were retrieved before the discovery of the wreck in 1985 . The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax , Nova Scotia has a collection of wooden fragments and an intact deckchair plucked from the sea by the Canadian search vessels that recovered the victims ' bodies . Various other museums , including the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and the SeaCity Museum in Southampton , have objects donated by survivors and relatives of victims , including some items that were retrieved from the bodies of victims . More donated Titanic artifacts are to be found in the Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool and the Titanic Historical Society 's museum in Indian Orchard , Springfield , Massachusetts . The latter 's collection includes items such as the life jacket of Madeleine Astor , the wife of millionaire Titanic victim John Jacob Astor IV , a rivet which was removed from the hull before Titanic went to sea , an ice warning which never reached the bridge , a restaurant menu and a sample square of carpet from a First Class stateroom . RMS Titanic Inc. organizes large - scale exhibitions around the world of artifacts retrieved from the wreck site . After minor exhibitions were held in Paris and Scandinavia , the first major exhibition of recovered artifacts was held at the National Maritime Museum in 1994 -- 95 . It was hugely popular , drawing an average of 21,000 visitors a week during the year - long exhibition . Since then , RMS Titanic Inc. has established a large - scale permanent exhibition of Titanic artifacts at the Luxor hotel and casino in Las Vegas , Nevada . The 25,000 square feet ( 2,300 m ) exhibit is the home of the `` Big Piece '' of the hull retrieved in 1998 and features conserved items including luggage , Titanic 's whistles , floor tiles and an unopened bottle of champagne . The exhibit includes a full - scale replica of the ship 's Grand Staircase and part of the Promenade Deck , and even a mock - up of the iceberg . It also runs a traveling exhibition called Titanic : The Artifact Exhibition which has opened in various cities around the world and has been seen by over 20 million people . The exhibition typically runs for six to nine months featuring a combination of artifacts , reconstructions and displays of the ship , her passengers and crew and the disaster itself . In a similar fashion to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington , D.C. , visitors are given a `` boarding pass '' in the name of an individual passenger at the start of the exhibition . They do not discover the fate of their assigned passenger until the end .

"The wreck of the RMS Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3,800 m) (2.37 miles (3.81 km)), about 370 miles (600 km) south-southeast off the coast of Newfoundland. It lies in two main pieces about a third of a mile (600 m) apart. The bow is still largely recognizable with many preserved interiors, despite its deterioration and the damage it sustained hitting the sea floor. In contrast, the stern is completely ruined. A debris field around the wreck contains hundreds of thousands of items spilled from the ship as she sank. The bodies of the passengers and crew would have also been distributed across the sea bed, but have been consumed by other organisms."

The four arrive at a movie theatre , where Monty deciphers a code sent for him through the subtitles of the film , using a spyglass identical to Klaus ' .

They are also shocked to find out that Josephine was once fierce and formidable , and developed her phobias after the death of her husband . Olaf , who has followed the Baudelaires , disguises himself as a sailor named Captain Sham before pretending to fall in love with Josephine .

The school 's only redeeming qualities are its friendly librarian , Olivia Caliban , and the surviving Quagmire triplets , Duncan and Isadora . During a lunch break , Klaus and Isadora discover that they are holding two halves of the same spyglass . The newfound friends quickly realize that they must track down a book on secret organizations to find the answers they seek -- a book Jacquelyn sent Larry to give them , but which he carelessly misplaced . Meanwhile , Count Olaf and his troupe lurk around the grounds of the school , unable to enter the front doors due to an advanced computer system programmed by Nero to detect Olaf 's presence . However , with Carmelita 's help , Olaf finally gains entry and locks Larry in the cafeteria 's walk - in refrigerator . He then dons his latest disguise : the school 's new turban - wearing gym teacher . 10 `` The Austere Academy : Part 2 '' Barry Sonnenfeld Joe Tracz March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) Olaf is able to convince Nero to put the Baudelaires under a grueling exercise program , making the siblings run endless laps at night to prevent them from scheming against him , while also causing them to perform poorly in class from lack of sleep . Due to their slumping grades , Nero threatens to expel the Baudelaires if they fail a comprehensive exam to be given in front of the entire school , but because they must still exercise under Olaf 's program , they know they will likely fail . The Quagmires offer to help , and that night take their place during exercises ; however , their identity is discovered , and while hiding in the library , they find the copy of the book on secret organizations and read up on the purpose of the spyglass before they are caught by the Hook - Handed Man . The next day , with Mr. Poe in attendance , the Baudelaires readily pass the exam , and through it reveal Olaf 's identity . Olaf and his gang then escape with the Quagmires , who try to shout the initials `` V.F.D. '' from the backseat of Olaf 's car . Meanwhile , Larry is rescued from the refrigerator with the help of Lemony 's brother , Jacques , while Olivia walks off with the book on secret organizations that the Quagmires left behind . 11 `` The Ersatz Elevator : Part 1 '' Bo Welch Daniel Handler March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) While a citywide manhunt for Count Olaf is underway , Mr. Poe takes the Baudelaires to the penthouse of Jerome Squalor and his trendy financial advisor wife Esmé . While being introduced to the Squalors , they find Olaf has already arrived , posing as a foreign auctioneer named Gunther . The Baudelaires theorize that Olaf is trying to kill Jerome so that he can marry Esmé and become their legal guardian again . They search the penthouse for the Quagmires to no avail , but Klaus becomes suspicious of an extra elevator that only seems to serve the penthouse . Meanwhile , Olivia tries to convince Mr. Poe about Olaf 's scheme , which leads Jacquelyn to contact Jacques , who enlists her into their society . Esmé suggests they go out for lunch at a fashionable salmon - themed restaurant Cafe Salmonella , where Larry works to prolong their visit , giving Jacques and Olivia time to search the Squalor 's building for the Quagmires . When the Baudelaires manage to sneak away and examine the second elevator , they learn that it is merely an empty shaft . With a makeshift parachute , they descend it to find the Quagmires locked in a cage at its bottom . 12 `` The Ersatz Elevator : Part 2 '' Bo Welch Daniel Handler March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) The Baudelaires do not have the tools to free the Quagmires , so they ascend the shaft by turning the parachute into a hot - air balloon .

Esmé pushes them down the elevator shaft , where they are caught in a net midway down . Sunny helps them to escape safely , and afterwards they find a secret passage that leads to the ashen ruins of their home . At the auction in Veblen Hall , the Baudelaires start a bidding war on a box labeled `` V.F.D. '' , which they believe contains the Quagmires . Though they win the item , they find the box contains only doilies . In the aftermath , Olaf and his troupe escape with the Quagmires , who are hidden inside a red herring statue . The Baudelaires ask Jerome to help track down Olaf , but he is far too timid to do so , and gives up his guardianship of them . Mr. Poe tells the children that a village with the initials `` V.F.D. '' is willing to raise them . 13 5 `` The Vile Village : Part 1 '' Barry Sonnenfeld Sigrid Gilmer March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) Mr. Poe drops the Baudelaires off at the Village of Fowl Devotees , where the whole community will care for them collectively . The Baudelaires take up residence with Hector , a kindly handyman prone to fainting spells who is secretly building a self - sustaining hot - air mobile home , and soon begin finding clues written by the Quagmires themselves . Olaf , Esmé , and the troupe also arrive at the village , with Esmé disguising herself as the town 's new chief of police . Jacques and Olivia also arrive and detain Olaf at the local jailhouse ; the next day , the villagers learn of Olaf 's capture and hold a town hall meeting , where Olaf appears in the disguise of Detective Dupin , tricking everyone into believing Jacques is Olaf . Jacques is sentenced to death , but Olivia convinces Esmé to free her and Jacques in exchange for the location of the Sugar Bowl , an object with ties to Esmé 's past . Jacques stays behind to confront Olaf ; however , the villain is unfazed by Jacques ' offer of a truce , and he and Esmé incapacitate and kill him . The next morning , as the Baudelaires try to break into the jail to rescue Jacques , they are informed that `` Olaf '' has been murdered . 14 6 `` The Vile Village : Part 2 '' Barry Sonnenfeld Sigrid Gilmer March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) The disguised Olaf and Esmé quickly convince Mr. Poe and the town that the Baudelaires murdered Jacques / `` Olaf , '' and they are promptly condemned to be burned at the stake . While in jail , the children instruct Hector to prepare his hot - air mobile home to help them escape . While Violet creates a battering ram to weaken the jail wall , Klaus deduces from their clues that the Quagmires are hidden inside a crow fountain in the village square . Larry and Jacquelyn arrive on the scene to distract the villagers long enough for the children to escape via a fire truck and follow Hector . The Baudelaires cover for the Quagmires as they use the truck 's ladder to climb aboard the mobile home . As they do so , Olaf , Esmé , and the villagers arrive , and Esmé begins damaging Hector 's home with a harpoon gun . Realizing their danger , the Baudelaires tell Hector to escape with the Quagmires . In thanks , the Quagmires try to throw their friends their notes about the secrets of V.F.D. , but Esmé shoots them with a harpoon , scattering the pages and harming a crow . While the villagers accost the disguised villains over the injured bird , the Baudelaires collect as many of the ruined pages as they can and make their escape . 15 7 `` The Hostile Hospital : Part 1 '' Alan Arkush Joshua Conkel March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) The Baudelaires hitch a ride with volunteer singing candy stripers heading to Heimlich Hospital . They learn that there is a Library of Records that collects and stores esoterica . After sneaking past the hospital 's administrator Babs , they meet Hal , the man who runs the library . He welcomes their help , but forbids them to read material in storage . While Hal shows them the ropes , a film reel labeled `` Snicket '' arrives and catches the children 's attention . Meanwhile , believing the Sugar Bowl to be in the hospital , Olaf and his troupe infiltrate the building . Desperate for answers , the children are forced to steal Hal 's keys to access the library , where they find the film . It contains a debriefing of Jacques by a V.F.D. volunteer , with Jacques informing the interviewer that someone has survived a fire , which may or may not be the one that killed the Baudelaire 's parents . However , before they can watch any further , they are interrupted by Esmé ; as they try to escape , the library is ruined . Violet is captured by Olaf while Klaus and Sunny hide in a chute , in possession of the film . 16 8 `` The Hostile Hospital : Part 2 '' Alan Arkush Joshua Conkel March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) Olaf and Esmé hide Violet under a false name ; to find her , Klaus disguises himself as `` Dr. Faustus , '' with Sunny hidden in a sling underneath his coat . They eventually deduce which room Violet is in , but this is a trap laid by Olaf , who forces Klaus to operate on Violet inside an operating theater . Esmé promises to call off the scheme if Klaus can give her what he stole from the Library of Records , and he does so -- only , it 's not the Sugar Bowl that she has been searching for . Olaf , however , is interested in the Snicket film , and dashes off to watch it to learn its secret . Furious at its revelations , he burns the film , which also starts a fire in the hospital . The Baudelaires successfully evacuate the hospital and realize that their only chance to escape safely is in the trunk of Olaf 's car . Hal is left depressed over the loss of the Library of Records . Elsewhere , an unknown person recovers the Sugar Bowl from the burning hospital . 17 9 `` Carnivorous Carnival : Part 1 '' Loni Peristere Joe Tracz March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) A flashback to a masked ball at the V.F.D. headquarters shows Lemony trying to warn Beatrice about Olaf . In the present , Olaf and his troupe arrive at the Caligari Carnival to speak with its fortune - teller , Madame Lulu , about the fire 's survivor . Lulu , who is really Olivia in disguise , tells them to wait for the answer in the morning . The Baudelaires overhear this , and hoping to speak to Lulu as well , assume the identities of circus freaks , with Violet and Klaus as a two - headed person and Sunny as a wolf child . After calling V.F.D. , Olivia is able to tell Olaf the next day that one of the Baudelaire parents did indeed survive the fire . Olaf then presents a freak show that proves disastrous , so he sets off to find a pack of roaming lions to help attract a larger crowd . This gives an opportunity for the children to sneak into Lulu 's tent , where they discover films , books , and disguises belonging to the Volunteer Fire Department -- the secret organization their parents and guardians belonged to . Olivia then appears and reveals her true identity to them . 18 10 `` Carnivorous Carnival : Part 2 '' Loni Peristere Joe Tracz March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) Olivia explains to the Baudelaires that `` Madame Lulu '' is an alias used by V.F.D. agents to gather information . While Olivia admits she had to lie to Olaf about one of the children 's parents surviving the fire , Jacques had asserted that there was a survivor , and they should head to the V.F.D. headquarters in the Mortmain Mountains to find them . Meanwhile , Olaf plans to throw one of the freaks into a pit filled with the hungry lions he has corralled , while Esmé connives to have Lulu killed . The next day , Olaf selects Violet and Klaus for the pit . When Olivia is told to push the children to the lions , she instead pushes them to safety , and is sent tumbling into the pit by Olaf for her troubles . As the children try to collect the V.F.D. materials from Lulu 's tent , Olaf arrives and forces them to burn the tent down . Then , after placing Violet and Klaus in a towed caravan and taking Sunny in his car , Olaf has the other freaks cut the towing rope on a steep mountain path . At the same time , the last operative to pose as Madame Lulu arrives at the burning carnival as Lemony Snicket claims that she is someone he knows . Season 3 ( edit ) The third season will adapt the final four books of the novel series in seven episodes : The Slippery Slope , The Grim Grotto and The Penultimate Peril will be adapted into two episodes each , and The End will conclude the series with a longer single episode . Barry Sonnenfeld will direct the episodes for The Penultimate Peril . Liza Johnson and Jonathan Teplitzky will also direct episodes in the season . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) The thirteen A Series of Unfortunate Events novels , written by Daniel Handler under the pen name Lemony Snicket from 1999 to 2006 , achieved success in young adult fiction around the same time as the Harry Potter novels . As such , the Snicket books had been optioned to be filmed before they were published . This led to the development of a 2004 feature film , Lemony Snicket 's A Series of Unfortunate Events , which covered the narratives of the first three novels in the series . Barry Sonnenfeld , who has expressed his love for the series , was originally slated to direct the feature film , and had hired Handler to write the screenplay . About 10 months into production , shortly after the casting of Jim Carrey as Olaf , there was a `` big crisis '' , according to Handler , which caused producer Scott Rudin to walk away and Sonnenfeld left the production under unclear terms . With the film 's completion in flux , its producing studios Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks fired Handler . While the film was eventually completed and released , sequels which would adapt the other novels in the series became unlikely due to `` corporate shakeups '' within DreamWorks , according to Handler , and the child actors that portrayed the Baudelaire children grew too old to star in a sequel . In November 2014 , Netflix , in association with Paramount Television , announced its plans to adapt the novels into an original television series , with the author of the series , Daniel Handler , serving as executive producer . In September 2015 , it was announced that Barry Sonnenfeld and Mark Hudis had agreed to helm the series . Hudis would serve as showrunner , Sonnenfeld as director , and both as executive producers , with Handler writing some of the scripts along with working with the series ' writing team . However , in January 2016 , Netflix announced that Hudis had left the project , with a replacement showrunner not named at the time . The first season consists of eight episodes , with two episodes adapting each of the first four books of the series . Handler considered this more in line with how he had written the books in the manner of a serialized melodrama , citing The Perils of Pauline as one of his influences in writing the book series . In January 2017 , Handler revealed that he was writing the series ' second season , to consist of ten episodes adapting the fifth through ninth books of the series . A third season would adapt the remaining novels of the series , which Handler hoped `` to get the go - ahead to do '' since `` given how quickly young actors age and change , we 're trying to film everything as quickly as possible . '' In March 2017 , Netflix revealed the series had been renewed for a second season by releasing a video on their social media pointing to a viral marketing website , where a letter written by Snicket revealed the decision . A month later , the series was `` quietly '' renewed for a third season , which Harris confirmed would be the final one for the series . Casting ( edit ) Neil Patrick Harris portrays Count Olaf in the series and serves as a producer . On December 3 , 2015 , an open casting call was announced for the roles of Violet and Klaus Baudelaire . In January 2016 , Netflix announced that Neil Patrick Harris had been cast as Count Olaf and Malina Weissman and Louis Hynes were cast as Violet and Klaus . Handler had first considered Harris for the role of Olaf after seeing him perform the opening number `` It 's Not Just for Gays Anymore '' , at the 65th Tony Awards in 2011 , noting `` I just immediately saw someone who could pull off a million things at once '' as was necessary for the character of Olaf , who utilizes various disguises and accents in his quest to steal the Baudelaire fortune . In March 2016 , K. Todd Freeman was cast as Mr. Poe , followed shortly after by the casting of Patrick Warburton as Lemony Snicket , and Aasif Mandvi as Uncle Monty . In September 2016 , it was revealed that Dylan Kingwell and Avi Lake were cast as the Quagmire siblings , Duncan and Isadora , respectively . In November 2016 , Handler revealed Catherine O'Hara , Don Johnson , and Alfre Woodard had been cast as Dr. Georgina Orwell , Sir , and Aunt Josephine , respectively ; O'Hara had previously portrayed Justice Strauss in the 2004 film adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events . It was also revealed that Presley Smith would play Sunny Baudelaire , whose quasi-nonsensical lines are voiced by Tara Strong , and Rhys Darby would play Charles , Sir 's partner . Filming ( edit ) Production began in May 2016 in Vancouver , British Columbia , and in August 2016 several cast members expressed through social media that filming had finished . Filming for the second season began in April 2017 . The third season began filming on January 5 , 2018 . One aspect of the series of books that the production team wanted to be captured in the series was the notion of a lack of specific time period or geography for the settings ; Handler stated that he wrote enough for establishing set pieces , but purposely left more specific details vague `` in order for young readers to fill in the blanks themselves . '' Sonnenfeld wanted to capture that same sense of ambiguous time and place , and he and his team worked to try to define a set of subjective rules of what elements could be included . Sonnenfeld brought on Bo Welch , production designer for Edward Scissorhands , which Handler considered to capture the same sense of a `` familiar but completely imaginary '' suburban setting he had in mind for his books . While the production team used computer - generated imagery where needed , they attempted to avoid this use where possible , such as by using large painted backdrops , by key scenic artist John E. Wilcox , rather than employing green screen filming . Music ( edit ) In April 2016 , Nick Urata was initially reported to be composing music for the series . Once the first season was released , it was revealed that Urata collaborated with Daniel Handler to compose the main title theme , `` Look Away '' , as well as various original songs that appear throughout the series , with Handler contributing the lyrics . The first season 's original score was composed by James Newton Howard , with his frequent collaborators Sven Faulconer and Chris Bacon filling in to score certain episodes . In the second season , Jim Dooley joined the production as composer and subsequently wrote the music for all ten episodes . `` Look Away '' , the theme song for the opening titles of the series , is performed by Neil Patrick Harris . In keeping with the tone of the book series , the song warns the viewer against continuing to watch the unpleasant story any further . The lyrics of one verse of the song change for each pair of episodes , comprising a brief synopsis of those episodes ' premise . Visual effects ( edit ) Zoic Studios created visual effects for the series , including the effects for many of Sunny Baudelaire 's actions . Tippett Studio also did work on the series , including the effects for the destruction of Josephine 's house , landscape shots of Lake Lachrymose and some of the more movement heavy Sunny Baudelaire shots . Release ( edit ) All eight episodes of the first season of A Series of Unfortunate Events were released worldwide on Netflix on January 13 , 2017 , in Ultra HD 4K . The second season was released on March 30 , 2018 . Marketing ( edit ) On July 5 , 2015 a video titled `` An Unfortunate Teaser '' was uploaded to YouTube by a user named `` Eleanora Poe '' . Netflix quickly released a statement saying `` This was not released from Netflix . '' Media outlets were almost unanimous in agreement that the trailer was fan - made . However , Caitlin Petrakovitz of CNET argued that the trailer may be real and that Netflix 's carefully worded denial was a marketing campaign , noting the user name `` Eleanora Poe '' being the same as a character from the series , and that a vinyl record seen in the trailer was of The Gothic Archies , a band who provided the theme music for the audio books of A Series of Unfortunate Events . The trailer was later revealed to be a spec promo , similar to a spec script , by an independent commercial director , whom Netflix contracted to make a title sequence for the series after the video 's popularity , though they did not go ahead with the concept . In October 2016 , Netflix released the first teaser trailer for A Series of Unfortunate Events , where Warburton narrates the events of the series as Lemony Snicket . A trailer , featuring footage from the series and Neil Patrick Harris 's character , Count Olaf , was released by Netflix in November 2016 , followed shortly by the first full trailer . The second trailer was released in December 2016 , followed by a `` holiday - themed '' trailer from Count Olaf leading fans to a viral marketing website for the fictional Valorous Farms Dairy , which featured four holiday e-cards for download . Reception ( edit ) Audience viewership ( edit ) As Netflix does not reveal subscriber viewership numbers for any of their original series , Symphony Technology Group compiled data for the first season based on people using software on their devices that measure television viewing by detecting a program 's sound . According to Symphony , 3.755 million viewers age 18 - 49 were watching an episode of A Series of Unfortunate Events over the average minute in its first weekend of release . Critical response ( edit ) Season 1 ( edit ) The first season of A Series of Unfortunate Events received critical acclaim . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the season an approval rating of 94 % based on 62 reviews , with an average rating of 8.1 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Enjoyably dark , A Series of Unfortunate Events matches the source material 's narrative as well as its tone , leaving viewers with a wonderfully weird , dry , gothic comedy . '' On Metacritic the season has a score of 81 out of 100 , based on 23 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Erik Adams of The A.V. Club awarded the season a B and praised it for treating `` mature themes like grief , loss , and disappointment with sardonic honesty . '' Adams compared the program positively to the Adam West Batman series , calling it `` kids stuff with adult sophistication , driven by two - part stories , outrageous visuals , and the scenery - chewing of big - name guest stars '' . Ben Travers of Indiewire gave the series an A - , saying that it `` proves as inspirational and endearing as it claims to be forlorn and heartbreaking '' . Brian Lowry of CNN praised the showrunners for `` infusing the show with a lemony - fresh feel , conjuring a series similar to the fantastical tone of Pushing Daisies '' . Lowry wrote that `` the show proves a good deal of fun '' and that `` Harris dives into his over-the - top character with considerable gusto . '' He also argued that the series improved upon the 2004 film . Several critics praised the television series as a better adaptation of the books than the 2004 feature film , which starred Jim Carrey as Count Olaf . Kelly Lawler of USA Today felt the television format gave the stories more room to develop , the addition of Warburton as the fourth wall - breaking Snicket helped to convey some of the wordplay humor used in the books , and Harris 's portrayal of Olaf was `` much more dynamic , and creepier '' than Carrey 's version . The Verge 's Chaim Gartenburg said that the show follows the books much more faithfully than the film , and `` nails down the tone that made the stories so special '' . Los Angeles Times writer Robert Lloyd felt that the backgrounds of Sonnenfeld and Welch made them `` the right people for this job , set in a milieu that is hard to fix in time , except to say it is not now '' , in capturing the tones of the book compared to the feature film . Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com , on the other hand , gave the series a negative review , calling it `` an unfunny parody of sadness '' that is `` never as clever as it wants to be '' and would only appeal to fans of the books . Caroline Framke of Vox Media praised the series for its unique and weird visuals , but found the show 's tone , pacing and performances to be haphazard and considered the show to be `` literally , a series of unfortunate events '' . Season 2 ( edit ) As with the first season , the second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events received critical acclaim . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the second season an approval rating of 100 % based on 13 reviews , with an average rating of 7.8 / 10 . Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent praised the show as one that `` essentially deals with thoughtful , intelligent young people battling to speak up against an illogical world . '' While observing that the `` show may revel in the miserable '' , she opined `` that the purpose of its own morbidity is to offer the assurance that hope lives in even the darkest of places . '' Loughrey also credited the show 's expanded storyline for the Baudelaires ' adult allies for `` plumping up '' the episodes ' narrative arcs and deepening the show 's emotional impact . Tristram Fane Saunders of The Telegraph awarded the second season four out of five stars . He described the show as a `` gothic treat ( that ) also offers a wicked line in absurdist humour , and the most gorgeously toybox - like set designs you 'll find anywhere outside a Wes Anderson film . '' Radio Times reviewer Huw Fullerton praised the series for its faithfulness to the original novels . While praising the improved CGI used to make Presley Smith 's character Sunny Baudelaire react better to situations , he criticized the addition of supporting `` good '' characters such as Nathan Fillion 's Jacques Snicket and Sara Canning 's Jacquelyn for `` undercutting the bleakness and loneliness that characterized the novels . '' Rohan Naahar of the Hindustan Times described A Series of Unfortunate Events as `` one of the most lavish originals in Netflix 's bottomless catalogue , created by fans , for fans . '' He also praised Neil Patrick Harris ' performance as Count Olaf . The Den of Geek reviewer Michael Ahr praised tortoise - shell ' amphibiophones ' and stone marimbas score for giving the television series its primal sound . IGN reviewer Jonathon Dornbush criticized the second season 's formulaic plot structure and lack of the insightful observations compared to the first season . He also praised several of the second season 's episodes particularly `` The Ersatz Elevator '' , `` The Hostile Hospital '' , and `` The Carnivorous Carnival '' for smartly twisting the story formula and deepening the novel series ' mythology . Dornbush also praised the performance of guest stars such as Lucy Punch and Patrick Warburton and awarded the second season 7.2 stars .

-182593187857899055 | Educational attainment in the United States | Educational attainment in the United States - Wikipedia Educational attainment in the United States This article needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( May 2015 ) This graph shows the educational attainment since 1940 . Map of states percentage of population 25 years old with Advanced Degree in 2009 . Map of states percentage of population 25 years old with bachelor 's degree or higher in 2009 . High school graduation rate per state in 2017 90.0 -- 90.4 % 85.0 -- 89.9 % 80.0 -- 84.9 % 69.9 -- 79.9 % 2008 - 2012 Bachelor 's Degree or Higher ( 5 - year estimate ) by County ( percent ) The educational attainment of the U.S. population is similar to that of many other industrialized countries with the vast majority of the population having completed secondary education and a rising number of college graduates that outnumber high school dropouts . As a whole , the population of the United States is spending more years in formal educational programs . As with income , levels differ by race , age , household configuration and geography . Overall , the households and demographics featuring the highest educational attainment in the United States are also among those with the highest household income and wealth . Thus , while the population as a whole is proceeding further in formal educational programs , income and educational attainment remain highly correlated . Contents 1 General attainment of degrees / diplomas 2 Gender 2.1 Gender gap in literacy 2.2 Graduation rates 3 Ethnicity and race 3.1 Foreign born and immigrants 4 Income 5 Occupation 6 Geography 7 Social class and education 8 Educational attainment in social theory 8.1 Bourdieu and cultural capital 8.2 Lareau and concerted cultivation 8.3 Collins and credentialism 9 See also 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links General attainment of degrees / diplomas ( edit ) Educational attainment in the United States ( 2014 ) Education Age 25 and over Age 25 - 29 High school diploma or GED 88.31 % 90.83 % Some college 58.57 % 64.31 % Associate and / or bachelor 's degree 41.89 % 44.08 % Bachelor 's degree 31.96 % 34.04 % Master 's and / or doctorate and / or professional degree 11.77 % 7.57 % Doctorate and / or professional degree 3.27 % 1.70 % Doctorate 1.77 % 0.89 % In 2003 , over four - fifths ( 85 percent ) of all adults 25 years or older reported they had completed at least high school , or obtained a GED / high school equivalency certificate . Over one in four adults ( 27 percent ) had attained at least a bachelor 's degree . Both of these measures are all time highs . In 2003 , the percentage of the adult population who had completed high school or had not completed high school but obtained a GED increased for the first time since 2000 , when it was 84 percent . This increase follows a general trend that the Current Population Survey has shown since educational attainment was first measured in 1947 . In 2015 , among adults aged 65 and older , 84 percent had either completed high school or more education , or had failed to complete high school but obtained at least a GED certification , compared to 91 percent of adults aged 25 to 34 and 89 percent of adults aged 35 to 44 years or 45 to 64 years . In addition , 27 percent of the population aged 65 and older reported a bachelor 's degree or more education compared to 36 percent of adults 25 to 34 years old and 32 percent of adults aged 45 to 64 years . Since 1983 the percentage of people either graduating from high school or failing to complete high school but getting a GED certification has increased from 85 % to 88 % . The greatest increases in educational attainment were documented in the 1950s , 60s and 70s . In the 1950s and much of the 1960s high school graduates constituted about 50 % of those considered adults ( 25 and above ) . For young adults aged between 25 and 29 , the percentage of either high school graduates or GED obtainers was roughly 50 % in 1950 versus 90 % today . Gender ( edit ) For the past fifty years , there has been a gap in the educational achievement of males and females in the United States , but which gender has been disadvantaged has fluctuated over the years . In the 1970s and 1980s , data showed girls trailing behind boys in a variety of academic performance measures , specifically in test scores in math and science . Achievement gaps between boys and girls in the United States are more pronounced in reading and writing than in math and science . Data in the last twenty years shows the general trend of girls outperforming boys in academic achievement in terms of class grades across all subjects and college graduation rates , but boys scoring higher on standardized tests and being better represented in the higher - paying and more prestigious STEM fields ( science , technology , engineering , and math ) . Gender gap in literacy ( edit ) Traditionally , girls have outperformed boys in reading and writing . Although this gap may be minimal in kindergarten , it grows as students continue their education . According to the 2004 National Reading Assessment measured by the US Department of Education , the gap between boys and girls , only slightly noticeable in 4th grade , left boys 14 points behind girls during their 12th grade year . On the 2008 test , female students continued to have higher average reading scores than male students at all three ages . The gap between male and female 4th graders was 7 points in 2008 . By 12th grade , there was an 11 - point gap between males and females . On the 2002 National Writing Assessment , boys scored on average 17 points lower than girls in 4th grade . The average gap increased to 21 points by 8th grade and widened to 24 points by senior year in high school . In the more recent 2007 National Assessment of Writing Skills , female students continued to score higher than male students , though margins closed slightly from previous assessments . The average score for female eighth - graders was 20 points higher than males , down 1 point from the 2002 score . For twelfth - graders , females outscored males by 18 points as opposed to 24 points in 2002 . All of these assessments were conducted on a 100 - point scale . Graduation rates ( edit ) Overall , women have surpassed men in terms of completing secondary and post-secondary education with the gender gap almost completely reversed . In 2006 , 10.3 % of males and 8.3 % of females dropped out of high school . In 2005 / 2006 , women earned 62 % of associate degrees , 58 % of bachelor 's degrees , 60.0 % of master 's degrees , and 48.9 % of Doctorates . According to recent data , 55 percent of college students are females and 45 percent are males . From 1995 until 2005 , the number of males enrolled in college increased by 18 percent , while the number of female students rose by 27 percent . Males are enrolling in college in greater numbers than ever before , yet fewer than two - thirds of them are graduating with a bachelor 's degree . The numbers of both men and women receiving a bachelor 's degree have increased significantly , but the increasing rate of female college graduates exceeds the increasing rate for males . In 2007 , the United States Census Bureau estimated that 18,423,000 males over the age of 18 held a bachelor 's degree , while 20,501,000 females over the age 18 held one . In addition , fewer males held master 's degrees : 6,472,000 males compared to 7,283,000 females . However , more men held professional and doctoral degrees than women . 2,033,000 males held professional degrees compared to 1,079,000 , and 1,678,000 males had received a doctoral degree compared to 817,000 females . In 2015 , the United States Census Bureau estimated that 36.1 % of individuals between the ages of 25 to 34 had a bachelor 's degree , with 36.3 % in individuals aged 35 to 44 , 32 % in individuals 45 to 64 , and 26.7 % in individuals 65 and older . In 2016 / 2017 , women are projected to earn 64.2 % of associate degrees , 59.9 % of bachelor 's degrees , 62.9 % of master 's degrees , and 55.5 % of Doctorates . Ethnicity and race ( edit ) Further information : Racial achievement gap in the United States While the educational attainment of all races increased during the 1990s , with the gap between African Americans and non-Hispanic whites decreasing , differences between the races remain , especially among those with a bachelor 's degree or higher . Asian Americans had the highest educational attainment of any race , followed by whites who had a higher percentage of high school graduates but a lower percentage of college graduates . Persons identifying as Hispanic or Latino , without regard to race , had the lowest educational attainment . The gap was the largest between foreign - born Asian Americans , over half ( 50.1 % ) of whom had a bachelor 's degree or higher and foreign - born Hispanics , 9.8 % of whom had a four - year college degree . Hispanics and Latinos also trailed far behind in terms of graduating from high school ; it was the only major group for which high school graduates constituted less than 80 % of the population . This large inequality might partially be explained by the influx of uneducated foreign - born Hispanic Americans who had not been offered the chance to complete secondary education in their home country and who had not completed secondary education in the United States . Overall , nearly half ( 49.8 % ) of Asian Americans , nearly a third ( 30 % ) of non-Hispanic Whites , 17.3 % of non-Hispanic Blacks , and just over a tenth ( 11.4 % ) of Hispanics or Latinos had a four - year college degree . The same differences decrease significantly at the high school level with 89.4 % of non-Hispanic whites , 87.6 % of Asian Americans , 80.0 % of African Americans , and 57 % of Hispanics or Latinos having graduated from high school . The Racial achievement gap in the United States refers to these educational disparities between minority students and Caucasian students . Evidence of the racial achievement gap remains present today because not all groups of students are advancing at the same rates . The racial achievement gap has many individual and economic implications and there have been many efforts in education reform to narrow this gap . Foreign born and immigrants ( edit ) The difference among races and cultures , both native and foreign born , in regard to those who have earned a bachelor 's degree or higher . A trend becomes visible when comparing the foreign - born to the native - born populace of some races . Foreign - born Asian , European , and African immigrants had a higher educational attainment in terms of having earned a four - year college degree than their native - born counterparts . According to the U.S census about 43.8 percent of African immigrants achieved the most college degrees , compared to 42.5 percent of Asian - Americans , 28.9 percent for immigrants from Europe , Russia and Canada and 23.1 percent of the U.S. population as a whole . The opposite is true on the high school level and among Hispanics , where the dramatically lower educational attainment of the foreign - born population decreased the educational attainment of the general Hispanophone populace , statistically . The percentage of the foreign born with a high school diploma ( 67 percent ) was dramatically lower than that of the native population ( 88 percent ) , but paradoxically , the percentage with a bachelor 's degree was the same ( 27 percent ) ... At the bachelor 's level , foreign born Blacks and non-Hispanic Whites fared better than their native counterparts . Foreign - born Hispanics , in contrast , had a smaller proportion with a bachelor 's degree than the native population ... The low educational attainment of foreign - born Hispanics , who compose more than 50 percent of the Hispanic population , contributes to the low attainment levels of the entire Hispanic population . -- US Census Bureau , 2003 Only among Hispanics and Latinos was the proportion of college graduates larger among the native born population . In the general population the proportion of persons with a bachelor 's degree or higher was the same among the foreign - born and native - born population ( 27.2 % ) . As stated above fewer foreign born Americans completed high school than native born Americans . Overall , 87.5 % of the native born population had graduated from high school , versus 67.2 % . Among whites the difference was three percentage points , the same as for African Americans . Among Asian Americans the difference was five percentage points . It was thirty percentage points among Hispanics or Latinos . African immigrants have been among the more highly educated group in the United States since the 1990s . This phenomenon is related to the large `` brain drain '' in Africa . Income ( edit ) Chart of unemployment and salary based on education attainment Data are for persons age 25 and over . Earnings are for full - time wage and salary workers Educational attainment is strongly correlated with income in the United States . Although the incomes of both men and women are associated with higher educational attainment ( higher incomes for higher educational attainment ) , large income gaps linked to race and gender remained at each educational level . In 2003 , average incomes ranged from $13,459 for a male high - school dropout to $90,761 for a male with an advanced degree . The most significant average income difference was between those who had some college education or an Associates degree and those who had a Bachelor 's degree . While those with some college averaged $31,046 , those with a bachelor 's degree averaged $51,194 , over $20,000 ( 64.9 % ) a year more . The second most dramatic difference in average income was between those with a Bachelor 's degree with $51,940 and those with an advanced degree who made $72,824 , roughly $21,000 ( 42.2 % ) more . The least significant difference was between those who had graduated from high school and those who had either some college or an Associates degree . Here the difference was a mere $3,766 or 13.8 % . The difference between those with a high school diploma ( $30,000 ) and those who did not complete high school ( $18,826 ) was $8,454 or 45 % . Overall , the income in the United States for all sexes , races and levels of educational attainment was $36,308 annually . Even though African immigrants are claimed to have higher educational attainment rates than any other group , they were the hardest hit during the most recent recession beginning in 2007 . This shows that race and / or ethnicity may play a role in income levels and job selection . Criteria Overall Less than 9th grade High school drop - out High school graduate Some college Associates degree Bachelor 's degree Bachelor 's degree or more Master 's degree Professional degree Doctorate degree Median individual income Male , age 25 + $33,517 $15,461 $18,990 $28,763 $35,073 $39,015 $50,916 $55,751 $61,698 $88,530 $73,853 Female , age 25 + $19,679 $9,296 $10,786 $15,962 $21,007 $24,808 $31,309 $35,125 $41,334 $48,536 $53,003 Median household income $45,016 $18,787 $22,718 $36,835 $45,854 $51,970 $68,728 $73,446 $78,541 $100,000 $96,830 SOURCE : US Census Bureau , 2003 This graph shows the median household income in 2003 dollars according to educational attainment . Income by education and gender . The change in median personal and household income since 1991 also varied greatly with educational attainment . While both the overall median personal and household income increased since 1991 , this increase did not take place on all levels of educational attainment . The overall income increased over the course of the 1990s , reaching its high in 1999 , but has been decreasing ever since . In 1991 the median household income in the US was $40,873 in 2003 dollars , while the median household income in 2003 was $45,016 . In 1999 , however , the median household income was $46,236 , 2.7 % higher than today . While this trend held true for all levels of educational attainment the extent of chorinical fluctuations in income were greatly influenced by educational attainment . Overall , the median household and personal income decreased for those with more than a 9th grade education but less than a four - year college degree since 1991 . In other words , the median household income decreased for households and individuals at the high school drop - outs and graduate , some - college , and an Associates degree level . Income did , however , increase for those with a Bachelor 's degree or more . The following table shows the median household income according to the educational attainment of the householder . All data is in 2003 dollars and only applies to householders whose householder is aged twenty - five or older . The highest and lowest points of the median household income are presented in bold face .

Income by education and race . Among the races , educational attainment retains its dramatic effect on average income which varies significantly at each educational level . European Americans ( White Americans ) had the highest average income at every level of educational attainment . However , the proportion of those having college degrees is greater among Asian Americans than among non-Hispanic whites , and the overall highest average income is found among Asians . All races except Whites ranked last on at least one level with African Americans ranking last on the non-high school , high school and advanced degree level . Asians were second highest on the college graduate level and had the highest overall income among the general population . They also had the lowest average annual income for those with some college education or an Associates degree . Racial income difference were also significant at every level of educational attainment with the largest racial inequality being between European and African Americans who did not complete high school and those with advanced college degrees . Overall , European Americans with an advanced degree had the highest average annual income with $74,122 . Asian Americans had the second highest with $72,852 . Hispanics and African Americans had the lowest annual incomes among those with advanced degrees averaging $67,679 and $59,944 annually . The largest racial inequity was between European Americans with a Bachelor 's degree who made $53,185 and Hispanics who made $12,263 or 29.9 % less with an average annual income of $40,949 . However , Asian Americans as a whole earn more than any other race due to a greater percentage of them being educated overall , an example of Simpson 's paradox . Occupation ( edit ) The educational attainment of employed civilians age 25 to 64 according to occupational field . The educational attainment varied significantly among the different types of occupations . The highest occupational attainment was among those in the Professional and related fields followed by those Business , Management and financial related occupations . The professional / managerial fields were the only two occupational fields where college graduates with a Bachelor 's degree or higher represented the majority . Among professional occupations , 99.1 % of the population graduated from high school , 90.2 % had some college education or an Associates degree and over two thirds , 68.2 % had a Bachelor 's degree or higher . Business and managerial occupations were second with 97.8 % having graduated from high school , 79.5 % having some college or an associates degree and just over half , 53.4 % having a Bachelor 's degree or higher . While nearly all employment fields feature a population where over 80 % had graduated from high school with over a third having some college education or an Associates degree , the fields relating to agriculture , construction , manufacturing , and transportation did not . These , often described as blue collar , fields featured a labor force where less than a tenth of the population had a Bachelor 's degree or higher , less than half had some college or an Associates , and less than 80 % had graduated from high school . Overall , the least educated occupational field was agriculture , ranking last on all educational levels . Here 55.4 % had graduated from high school , roughly one fifth ( 20.8 % ) had some college education or an Associates degree and 6.8 % had a Bachelor 's degree or higher . While the largest occupational field , that consisting of professionals and relating occupations was also the largest field , the fields with lower educational attainment combined were larger than the professional and managerial fields combined . Overall , 38.02 % were employed in the professional and managerial fields while 61.89 % were employed in the other white and blue collar fields were those with a bachelor 's degree or higher constituted less than a third of the work force . The percent of the labor force in the Professional / Managerial and relating occupations , white collar occupations and blue collar occupations . Geography ( edit ) Educational attainment among the population aged 25 and above varied rather slightly with geography region . The population of the Northeastern United States , which had the smallest population of any region with thirty - six million residents , had the highest percentage of high - school and college graduates . The western United States had the highest percentage of those with some college or an Associates degree and ranked second for college graduates . The South which had by far the largest population with roughly sixty - six million people had the lowest educational attainment at every level . The proportion of high school graduates was the largest in the Midwest while the proportion of those with some college or an Associates degree was the second and that of those with a Bachelor 's degree or higher was the third largest of any region . Social class and education ( edit ) Educational attainment is one of the primary indicators of social class in the United States . While the American social class system is a vaguely defined concept with many contradicting theories , educational attainment emerges as one of the top assessments of social class . Not only is a high educational attainment a status symbol by itself , but it is also very closely related to the other two main indicators of social class : occupation and income . A graduate degree and the roughly seven to eight years of post-secondary education serve as the main requirement for entering the `` professions '' and becoming part of the professional middle class . Education is a major key in becoming a more privileged member of the American middle class . Overall , educational attainment is the main entrance barrier into more privileged parts of the middle class as it is not only of high value but is also the requirement for becoming a professional and earning the corresponding income . This corresponding income is typically significantly higher than that of someone without this higher level of educational attainment in the United States . Exceptions include some entrepreneurs who can rank anywhere in the class system but are usually not referred to as professional middle class unless they are of the professions . In the United States , it is also important to differentiate between the statistical middle class , often defined as consisting of those who are neither rich nor poor , and the professional middle class . Recent research has shown that not only is the statistical middle of society ( those with income roughly 80 % to 120 % of the national median or members of the mid-quintile ) no longer able to afford the lifestyle indicative of the middle class , but there also seems to be a widening income gap in between those who may be described as being middle class . Education is not only the main requirement for becoming a member of the professional middle class , it is also key to a comfortable lifestyle and economic security . Those in the statistical middle may have to fear lay - offs and cost - cutting downsizing as well as out - sourcing , while some of those in the professional middle class are less subject to economic fluctuations and are more likely to enjoy upper - middle range incomes even in the face of recessions . Increasingly however even the professional middle class is facing lay - offs and job elimination due to downsizing and replacement of full - time workers with part - time workers -- this is particularly evident in colleges and universities where , by 2009 , half of the faculty were part - time ; another 25 % were full - time but with short - term contracts , thus showing that advanced education is not necessarily associated with high salaries and economic stability .

Bourdieu and cultural capital ( edit ) Many scholars have studied educational attainment in the US as a form of social reproduction and stratification . In 1977 , Pierre Bourdieu presented the idea that education leads to social reproduction and a stratified society by honoring the cultural capital of elite classes . Students who possess the valued cultural capital , according to Bourdieu , are rewarded with high academic achievement . When elite class members enter the workforce , they are channeled into high paying jobs and powerful positions within society , while those who did not achieve the same level of academic success fall into subordinate occupations and status levels . By rewarding the desired cultural capital with high academic achievement , upper classes are able and prepared to reach higher levels of educational attainment . Members of the working class , on the other hand , are not rewarded for their cultural capital in schools , and are instead socialized for working class jobs . Lareau and concerted cultivation ( edit ) Annette Lareau also addresses the factors that lead to social stratification in educational attainment . Lareau 's idea of concerted cultivation refers to an active involvement of parents in a child 's learning and development experiences by creating and controlling organized activities for their children . According to Lareau , middle - class parents engage in concerted cultivation to teach their children , while lower - and working - class parents do not . Laureau further explains that schools firmly encourage and expect parents to use concerted cultivation as a child - rearing strategy . The child - rearing practices of lower - and working - class families thus do not comply with the standards of educational institutions . As a result , lower - and working - class students develop a sense of `` distance , distrust , and constraint '' in educational institutions , while children of middle - class families gain a sense of entitlement . These differences in child - rearing practices lead to children of lower - and working - class families to lack the necessary life skills that the children of the middle class possess , further isolating them from educational opportunities . In the United States , education attainment typically is viewed as a sign of social status . Collins and credentialism ( edit ) Randall Collins contributed the idea of credentialism to the study of class - based differences in educational attainment . Collins maintains that public schools are socializing institutions that teach and reward middle - class values of competition and achievement . In this view , elites are selectively separated from other students and placed into prestigious schools and colleges , where they are trained to hold positions of power . By teaching middle - class culture through the public education system , the elite class ensures a monopoly over positions of power , while others acquire the credentials to compete in a subordinate job market and economy . In this way , schools of medicine , law , and elite institutions have remained closed to members of lower classes .

( September 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) An appellate court , commonly called an appeals court , court of appeals ( American English ) , appeal court ( British English ) , court of second instance or second instance court , is any court of law that is empowered to hear an appeal of a trial court or other lower tribunal . In most jurisdictions , the court system is divided into at least three levels : the trial court , which initially hears cases and reviews evidence and testimony to determine the facts of the case ; at least one intermediate appellate court ; and a supreme court ( or court of last resort ) which primarily reviews the decisions of the intermediate courts . A jurisdiction 's supreme court is that jurisdiction 's highest appellate court . Appellate courts nationwide can operate under varying rules . The authority of appellate courts to review the decisions of lower courts varies widely from one jurisdiction to another . In some areas , the appellate court has limited powers of review . Generally , an appellate court 's judgment provides the final directive of the appeals courts as to the matter appealed , setting out with specificity the court 's determination that the action appealed from should be affirmed , reversed , remanded or modified . Contents ( hide ) 1 New Zealand 2 Sri Lanka 3 United States 3.1 Institutional titles 4 See also 5 References New Zealand ( edit ) Main article : Court of Appeal of New Zealand The Court of Appeal of New Zealand , located in Wellington , is New Zealand 's principal intermediate appellate court . In practice , most appeals are resolved at this intermediate appellate level , rather than in the Supreme Court . Sri Lanka ( edit ) Main article : Court of Appeal of Sri Lanka The Court of Appeal of Sri Lanka , located in Colombo , is the second senior court in the Sri Lankan legal system . United States ( edit ) Main articles : United States Supreme Court and United States courts of appeals In the United States , both state and federal appellate courts are usually restricted to examining whether the lower court made the correct legal determinations , rather than hearing direct evidence and determining what the facts of the case were . Furthermore , U.S. appellate courts are usually restricted to hearing appeals based on matters that were originally brought up before the trial court . Hence , such an appellate court will not consider an appellant 's argument if it is based on a theory that is raised for the first time in the appeal . In most U.S. states , and in U.S. federal courts , parties before the court are allowed one appeal as of right . This means that a party who is unsatisfied with the outcome of a trial may bring an appeal to contest that outcome . However , appeals may be costly , and the appellate court must find an error on the part of the court below that justifies upsetting the verdict . Therefore , only a small proportion of trial court decisions result in appeals . Some appellate courts , particularly supreme courts , have the power of discretionary review , meaning that they can decide whether they will hear an appeal brought in a particular case . Institutional titles ( edit ) Many U.S. jurisdictions title their appellate court an court of appeal or court of appeals . Historically , others have titled their appellate court a court of errors ( or court of errors and appeals ) , on the premise that it was intended to correct errors made by lower courts . Examples of such courts include the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals ( which existed from 1844 to 1947 ) , the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors ( which has been renamed the Connecticut Supreme Court ) , the Kentucky Court of Errors ( renamed the Kentucky Supreme Court ) , and the Mississippi High Court of Errors and Appeals ( since renamed the Supreme Court of Mississippi ) . In some jurisdictions , a court able to hear appeals is known as an appellate division . The phrase `` court of appeals '' most often refers to intermediate appellate courts . However , the Maryland and New York systems are different . The Maryland Court of Appeals and the New York Court of Appeals are the highest appellate courts in those states . The New York Supreme Court is a trial court of general jurisdiction . Depending on the system , certain courts may serve as both trial courts and appellate courts , hearing appeals of decisions made by courts with more limited jurisdiction . Some jurisdictions have specialized appellate courts , such as the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals , which only hears appeals raised in criminal cases , and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit , which has general jurisdiction but derives most of its caseload from patent cases , on one hand , and appeals from the Court of Federal Claims on the other .

Blue is PNS ; yellow is CNS . Identifiers Acronym ( s ) PNS TA A14. 2.00. 001 FMA 9903 Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy ( edit on Wikidata ) The peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) is one of the two components of the nervous system , the other part is the central nervous system ( CNS ) . The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord . The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs , essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body . Unlike the CNS , the PNS is not protected by the vertebral column and skull , or by the blood -- brain barrier , which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries . The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system . In the somatic nervous system , the cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of the optic nerve ( cranial nerve II ) , along with the retina . The second cranial nerve is not a true peripheral nerve but a tract of the diencephalon . Cranial nerve ganglia originated in the CNS . However , the remaining ten cranial nerve axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of the PNS . The autonomic nervous system is an involuntary control of smooth muscle and glands . The connection between CNS and organs allows the system to be in two different functional states : sympathetic and parasympathetic .

The somatic nervous system is under voluntary control , and transmits signals from the brain to end organs such as muscle s . The sensory nervous system is part of the somatic nervous system and transmits signals from senses such as taste and touch ( including fine touch and gross touch ) to the spinal cord and brain . The autonomic nervous system is a ' self - regulating ' system which influences the function of organs outside voluntary control , such as the heart rate , or the functions of the digestive system . Somatic nervous system ( edit ) See also : List of nerves of the human body The somatic system includes the sensory nervous system and the somatosensory system and consists of sensory nerves and somatic nerves , and many nerves which hold both functions . In the head and neck , cranial nerve s carry somatosensory data . There are twelve cranial nerves , ten of which originate from the brainstem , and mainly control the functions of the anatomic structures of the head with some exceptions . The nuclei of the olfactory nerve and the optic nerve s lie in the forebrain and thalamus , respectively , and are thus not considered to be true cranial nerves . One unique cranial nerve is the vagus nerve , which receives sensory information from organs in the thorax and abdomen . The accessory nerve is responsible for innervating the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles , neither of which being exclusively in the head . For the rest of the body , spinal nerves are responsible for somatosensory information . These arise from the spinal cord . Usually these arise as a web ( `` plexus '' ) of interconnected nerves roots that arrange to form single nerves . These nerves control the functions of the rest of the body . In humans , there are 31 pairs of spinal nerves : 8 cervical , 12 thoracic , 5 lumbar , 5 sacral and 1 coccygeal . These nerve roots are named according to the spinal vertebrata which they are adjacent to . In the cervical region , the spinal nerve roots come out above the corresponding vertebrae ( i.e. , nerve root between the skull and 1st cervical vertebrae is called spinal nerve C1 ) . From the thoracic region to the coccygeal region , the spinal nerve roots come out below the corresponding vertebrae . It is important to note that this method creates a problem when naming the spinal nerve root between C7 and T1 ( so it is called spinal nerve root C8 ) . In the lumbar and sacral region , the spinal nerve roots travel within the dural sac and they travel below the level of L2 as the cauda equina . Cervical spinal nerves ( C1 -- C4 ) ( edit ) Further information : Cervical plexus The first 4 cervical spinal nerves , C1 through C4 , split and recombine to produce a variety of nerves that serve the neck and back of head . Spinal nerve C1 is called the suboccipital nerve , which provides motor innervation to muscles at the base of the skull . C2 and C3 form many of the nerves of the neck , providing both sensory and motor control . These include the greater occipital nerve , which provides sensation to the back of the head , the lesser occipital nerve , which provides sensation to the area behind the ears , the greater auricular nerve and the lesser auricular nerve . The phrenic nerve is a nerve essential for our survival which arises from nerve roots C3 , C4 and C5 . It supplies the thoracic diaphragm , enabling breathing . If the spinal cord is transected above C3 , then spontaneous breathing is not possible . Brachial plexus ( C5 -- T1 ) ( edit ) Further information : Brachial plexus The last four cervical spinal nerves , C5 through C8 , and the first thoracic spinal nerve , T1 , combine to form the brachial plexus , or plexus brachialis , a tangled array of nerves , splitting , combining and recombining , to form the nerves that subserve the upper - limb and upper back . Although the brachial plexus may appear tangled , it is highly organized and predictable , with little variation between people . See brachial plexus injuries . Lumbosacral plexus ( l1 -- co1 ) ( edit ) The anterior divisions of the lumbar nerves , sacral nerves , and coccygeal nerve form the lumbosacral plexus , the first lumbar nerve being frequently joined by a branch from the twelfth thoracic . For descriptive purposes this plexus is usually divided into three parts : lumbar plexus sacral plexus pudendal plexus Autonomic nervous system ( edit ) The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary responses to regulate physiological functions . The brain and spinal cord from the central nervous system are connected with organs that have smooth muscle , such as the heart , bladder , and other cardiac , exocrine , and endocrine related organs , by ganglionic neurons . The most notable physiological effects from autonomic activity are pupil constriction and dilation , and salivation of saliva . The autonomic nervous system is always activated , but is either in the sympathetic or parasympathetic state . Depending on the situation , one state can overshadow the other , resulting in a release of different kinds of neurotransmitters . There is a lesser known division of the autonomic nervous system known as the enteric nervous system . Located only around the digestive tract , this system allows for local control without input from the sympathetic or the parasympathetic branches , though it can still receive and respond to signals from the rest of the body . The enteric system is responsible for various functions related to gastrointestinal system . Sympathetic nervous system ( edit ) The sympathetic system is activated during a `` fight or flight '' situation in which great mental stress or physical danger is encountered . Neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine , and epinephrine are released , which increases heart rate and blood flow in certain areas like muscle , while simultaneously decreasing activities of non-critical functions for survival , like digestion . The systems are independent to each other , which allows activation of certain parts of the body , while others remain rested . Parasympathetic nervous system ( edit ) Primarily using the neurotransmitter acetylcholine ( ACh ) as a mediator , the parasympathetic system allows the body to function in a `` rest and digest '' state . Consequently , when the parasympathetic system dominates the body , there are increases in salivation and activities in digestion , while heart rate and other sympathetic response decrease . Unlike the sympathetic system , humans have some voluntary controls in the parasympathetic system . The most prominent examples of this control are urination and defecation . Disease ( edit ) Main article : Peripheral neuropathy Diseases of the peripheral nervous system can be specific to one or more nerves , or affect the system as a whole . Any peripheral nerve or nerve root can be damaged , called a mononeuropathy . Such injuries can be because of injury or trauma , or compression . Compression of nerves can occur because of a tumour mass or injury . Alternatively , if a nerve is in an area with a fixed size it may be trapped if the other components increase in size , such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tarsal tunnel syndrome . Common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include pain and numbness in the thumb , index and middle finger . In peripheral neuropathy , the function one or more nerves are damaged through a variety of means . Toxic damage may occur because of diabetes ( diabetic neuropathy ) , alcohol , heavy metals or other toxins ; some infections ; autoimmune and inflammatory conditions such as amyloidosis and sarcoidosis . Peripheral neuropathy is associated with a sensory loss in a `` glove and stocking '' distribution that begins at the peripheral and slowly progresses upwards , and may also be associated with acute and chronic pain . Peripheral neuropathy is not just limited to the somatosensory nerves , but the autonomic nervous system too ( autonomic neuropathy ) .

"The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is one of the two components of the nervous system, the other part is the central nervous system (CNS). The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord.[1] The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs, essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body.[2] Unlike the CNS, the PNS is not protected by the vertebral column and skull, or by the blood–brain barrier, which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries. The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. In the somatic nervous system, the cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of the optic nerve (cranial nerve II), along with the retina.

It was presented every year by the Minister of Railways , representing the Ministry of Railways , in the Parliament . The Railway Budget was presented every year , a few days before the Union budget , till 2016 . Modi government on 21 September 2016 approved merger of the Rail and General budgets from next year , ending a 92 - year - old practice of a separate budget for the nation 's largest transporter . Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu said that his merger proposal was in the long term interest of railways as well as the country 's economy .

After that in 1924 the budget was announced , a practice that continued till 2016 . John Mathai presented the first Railway Budget for independent India in November 1947 . The first live telecast took place on 24 March 1994 . Lalu Prasad Yadav , who remained Railways Minister from 2004 to May 2009 , presented the railway budget 6 times in a row . In 2009 , under his tenure a ₹ 108 billion ( US $1.7 billion ) budget was passed . In the year 2000 , Mamata Banerjee ( later Chief Minister of West Bengal ) became the first female Railway Minister . In 2002 , she became the first female to present the Railway budget and is the only woman to do so for two different governing coalitions ( NDA and UPA ) . In 2014 budget , Railway Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda announced the first bullet train and 9 High - Speed Rail routes . The last Railway Budget was presented on 25 February 2016 by Mr. Suresh Prabhu . Also , according to Mid-day , a mumbai centric local tabloid newspaper , railway minister Piyush Goyal is planning to introduce 210 air - conditioned suburban local trains and convert the existing fleet into closed - door , cool trains at the cost of R16 , 3809 crore in the Rail Budget of 2018 which is to be presented on 1st February 2018 .

-5925501023563976945 | List of Test cricket triple centuries | List of Test cricket triple centuries - wikipedia List of Test cricket triple centuries Australian Donald Bradman is one of only four players in Test cricket to have scored 300 or more runs in a single innings on more than one occasion . The others are Brian Lara and Chris Gayle ( both West Indies ) , and Virender Sehwag ( India ) . A triple century ( an individual score of 300 or more ) in Test cricket has been scored on 30 occasions by 26 different batsmen from eight of the twelve Test - cricket playing nations . No player from Bangladesh or Zimbabwe has scored 300 . The first Test triple century was achieved by Andy Sandham of England against the West Indies in 1930 in the first Test series hosted in the West Indies . The frequency of a batsman scoring a Test triple century is slightly less than that of a bowler taking a Test hat - trick ( 30 triple centuries versus 43 hat - tricks as of July 2017 ) . The quickest Test triple - century was scored in 4 hours 48 minutes , by Wally Hammond for England against New Zealand at Auckland in 1932 -- 33 . The fastest Test triple - century by number of balls faced , where that figure is recorded , is Virender Sehwag 's 278 - ball triple century for India against South Africa in the first Test of the Future Cup in Chennai in 2008 . Brian Lara and Chris Gayle of the West Indies , Donald Bradman of Australia and Virender Sehwag of India are the only batsmen to reach 300 more than once . Lara 's 400 not out against England in 2004 , his second Test triple - century , is the highest score in Test cricket and the only instance of a Test quadruple century ; Lara is also the only player to have surpassed 350 twice . Bradman also scored 299 not out against South Africa in 1932 . Sehwag also scored 293 off 254 balls in the third Test between Sri Lanka and India in December 2009 . The two cricket grounds with the most triple centuries scored at them are Headingley in Leeds , England , and the Antigua Recreation Ground in St. John 's , Antigua and Barbuda , which have both had three triple centuries scored at them . The most triple centuries from one country is seven , by Australia .

West Indies replied with 286 , but England did not enforce the follow - on , setting West Indies a target of 835 to win . After bad weather prevented any play on the match 's eighth day , a draw was agreed with West Indies at 408 for 5 , George Headley having scored 223 . It was the first triple hundred in Tests . Sandham was 39 years and 275 days old , and playing his last Test match : he is Test cricket 's oldest triple - centurion . ^ Bradman came in to bat after Australia had lost Archie Jackson off the eleventh ball of the match . He shared stands of 192 with Bill Woodfull ( 50 ) for the second wicket and 229 with Alan Kippax ( 77 ) for the third wicket , and helped Australia to a total of 566 . Bradman was 105 * at lunch , 220 * at tea and 309 * at the close of the first day 's play . It is the only instance in Tests of a batsman scoring 300 in a day . Bradman scored 200 in 214 minutes . England scored 391 in reply , including a century from Wally Hammond ( 113 ) . Forced to follow on , they salvaged a draw . ^ Batting second , in a three - day match , Hammond shared a stand of 149 with Eddie Paynter ( 36 ) for the third wicket , on the way to an England total of 548 for 7 declared . New Zealand had batted first , scoring 158 . Hammond reached 300 in 287 minutes , going between 200 and 300 in 48 minutes . It has been estimated that he received about 355 balls to get there . Hammond hit 10 sixes in his innings , three off them off consecutive balls from Jack Newman . The third day was affected by rain , and the match was drawn . Hammond made 227 in his previous innings against New Zealand and finished the two - match series with a batting average of 563 . ^ Batting second , Bradman shared a stand of 388 with Bill Ponsford ( 181 ) for the fourth wicket on the way to an Australian total of 584 , in reply to England 's 200 all out . Bradman came in to join Ponsford after Australia had lost their first three wickets for 39 . England salvaged a draw . This was Bradman 's second successive triple century in matches at Headingley , in only his second match at the ground . Shortly before his dismissal his average in Test matches at Headingley stood at 638 . ^ Batting first , Hutton shared stands of 382 with Maurice Leyland ( 187 ) for the second wicket , 135 with Wally Hammond ( 59 ) for the third wicket , and 215 with Joe Hardstaff junior ( 169 * ) for the sixth wicket , on the way to an England total of 903 for 7 declared , the first time a Test team scored over 900 . Hutton was dismissed with the score at 770 , the greatest number of runs added during one batsman 's Test innings . Don Bradman and Jack Fingleton were both unable to bat in either Australia innings , and England won by a Test record margin of an innings and 579 runs . ^ Hanif shared stands of 152 with Imtiaz Ahmed ( 97 ) for the first wicket , 112 with Alimuddin ( 37 ) for the second wicket , 154 with Saeed Ahmed ( 65 ) for the third wicket , and 121 with Wazir Mohammad ( 35 ) for the fourth wicket , on the way to a Pakistan score of 657 for 8 declared .

It is the first film in the series not to be directed by Gore Verbinski , being replaced by Rob Marshall . Jerry Bruckheimer again served as producer . The film is technically a stand - alone sequel to the previous installments . In the film , which draws its plot loosely from the novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers , Captain Jack Sparrow ( Johnny Depp ) is joined by Angelica ( Penélope Cruz ) in his search for the Fountain of Youth , confronting the infamous pirate Blackbeard ( Ian McShane ) . The film was produced by Walt Disney Pictures and released in the United States on May 20 , 2011 . It was the first film in the series to be released in the Disney Digital 3 - D and IMAX 3D formats . Writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio first learned of Powers ' novel On Stranger Tides during the back - to - back production of Dead Man 's Chest ( 2006 ) and At World 's End , and considered it a good starting point for a new movie in the series . Pre-production started after the end of the 2007 -- 2008 Writers Guild of America strike , with Depp collaborating with the writers on the story design . Principal photography rolled for 106 days between June and November 2010 , with locations in Hawaii , the United Kingdom , Puerto Rico and California . Filming employed 3D cameras similar to those used in the production of the 2009 film Avatar , and ten companies were involved with the film 's visual effects . Following inflated production costs it is currently noted as the most expensive film ever made with a net budget of $379 million . On Stranger Tides broke many box office records upon release , and it stands as the 23rd - highest - grossing film of all time worldwide when not adjusting for inflation . Critical reviews were mixed , with the film receiving criticism over its writing , directing , excessiveness and lack of originality ; positive mentions were given on the acting , action sequences , music , visuals and the running time for being much shorter than the previous two films . A sequel , titled Dead Men Tell No Tales , was released in 2017 .

The king wants Jack to guide an expedition to the Fountain of Youth before King Ferdinand and the Spanish Navy can locate it . Jack 's old nemesis , Captain Hector Barbossa , now a privateer in service to the British Navy after losing his leg and ship , the Black Pearl , which he says was sunk , is heading the expedition . Jack refuses the offer and escapes . He meets up with his father , Captain Teague , who warns Jack about the Fountain 's rituals . Jack learns someone is impersonating him to recruit a crew to find the Fountain . The impostor is Angelica , Jack 's former lover , and the daughter of the ruthless pirate Blackbeard , who practices voodoo magic and wields the mythical `` Sword of Triton '' that controls his ship , the Queen Anne 's Revenge . While Jack is shanghaied aboard Blackbeard 's ship , Gibbs escapes execution by memorizing and destroying Jack 's map showing the Fountain 's location , forcing Barbossa to take him along . Meanwhile , after a failed mutiny aboard the Queen Anne 's Revenge , Jack is forced to guide the crew to the Fountain . Blackbeard seeks the Fountain 's power to circumvent his predestined fatal encounter with a `` one - legged man '' , who happened to be Barbossa . Jack must find two silver chalices aboard Juan Ponce de León 's missing flagship , the Santiago . The Fountain 's water must simultaneously be drunk by two people from the chalices . Drinking from one chalice containing a mermaid 's tear will extend life ; the second person dies , their remaining years of life transferred to the other drinker . Jack also discovers that the Black Pearl was captured and shrunk before being added to Blackbeard 's collection of other shrunken ships in bottles . The Queen Anne 's Revenge heads for Whitecap Bay to find and harvest mermaid tears . After managing to lure in a mermaid named Tamara , she summons other mermaids to attack the crew before Jack causes an explosion that scares them away . A mermaid named Syrena is caught , but Philip Swift , a captive missionary , falls in love with her . Reaching Ponce de León 's ship on an uncharted island , Angelica and Blackbeard coerce Jack into retrieving both chalices . Jack locates the grounded , decaying vessel , only to find Barbossa there . Both guess that the Spanish have taken the chalices , after they are nowhere to be found on the vessel . Jack and Barbossa team up to sneak into the Spanish camp and steal the chalices . Barbossa reveals he only wants revenge against Blackbeard for attacking the Black Pearl , and his leg being amputated . Jack and Barbossa escape with the chalices . Meanwhile , Syrena , reciprocating Philip 's love , is tricked into shedding a tear . Blackbeard collects it , leaving her to die of dehydration while Philip is forced to go with them . Jack returns with the chalices and bargains with Blackbeard for Angelica 's safety , Jack 's confiscated magical compass ( which they took from him before sending him to get the chalices ) , and Gibbs ' release . In return , Jack vows to give Blackbeard the chalices and lead him to the Fountain ; Blackbeard agrees , and Gibbs is set free with the compass . At the Fountain , Blackbeard 's crew is confronted by Barbossa and his men and they battle while Barbossa and Blackbeard fight . The Spanish suddenly arrive , intending to destroy the Fountain , believing its power an abomination against God . They crush the chalices and throw them in the swamp . When Barbossa stabs Blackbeard with a poisoned sword , Angelica pulls it out but is cut and poisoned . Jack notices Angelica is poisoned and begins frantically searching the swamp for the chalices . Barbossa obtains Blackbeard 's magic sword and gains control of the Queen Anne 's Revenge and her crew . Despite resistance from Blackbeard 's crew , the Spanish successfully pull down a pillar , crushing the Fountain of Youth . The Spanish army leaves once the fountain is in ruins . Philip is mortally wounded , but he returns to free Syrena . She helps Jack retrieve the missing chalices and gives them to him , telling him not to waste her tear . Syrena goes back to the dying Philip . She says she can save him if he asks her to . When he asks for her forgiveness , she kisses him and takes him underwater . With Blackbeard and Angelica both nearing death , Jack retrieves the last remaining drops of water from the destroyed fountain and puts the tear in one of them . Knowing that one of them must be sacrificed , he wants Angelica to drink from the chalice containing the tear . Instead , Blackbeard drinks it , asking his daughter to save him . Angelica agrees and drinks from the second chalice . Jack is upset to lose Angelica , but reveals that he made a mistake about which chalice contained the tear . Neither of the two are happy , and they both believe Jack deliberately tricked them . Angelica 's wounds are healed as the Fountain fatally consumes Blackbeard 's body . Eventually , Jack and Angelica admit their love for each other , yet he distrusts her intentions ( aware that she may try to avenge her father ) and strands her on a cay . Now wielding Blackbeard 's magical sword , Barbossa captains the Queen Anne 's Revenge and returns to piracy . Jack finds Gibbs , who had used the compass to locate the Revenge . He reclaims the shrunken Black Pearl and the other conquered ships in bottles , carrying them in a gunny sack . The two leave , hoping to revert the Black Pearl to its original size and continue living the pirates life . In a post-credits scene , a voodoo doll of Jack crafted by Blackbeard washes ashore and is found by Angelica , who then smiles .

After the film 's successful opening weekend , Dick Cook , then Chairman of the Walt Disney Studios , said he was interested in a fourth installment . Los Angeles Times also reported that rights to a book were bought . Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio had started working on a script in 2007 , but they were interrupted by the 2007 -- 2008 Writers Guild of America strike , and only resumed in mid-2008 . In June 2009 , Bruckheimer indicated Disney would prefer the fourth installment of Pirates to be released before The Lone Ranger film , which he , Johnny Depp , Ted Elliott , and Terry Rossio had been working on for release on May 20 , 2011 . He hoped Gore Verbinski would return to direct the fourth film , as his BioShock film adaptation had been put on hold . As Verbinski was unavailable due to his commitment with Rango the same year , Bruckheimer suggested Rob Marshall , who he considered a `` premiere filmmaker '' , stating that `` Every film ( Marshall ) made I thought was unique and different . '' On July 21 , 2009 , Marshall accepted the job , because of the `` whole new story line and set of characters . It felt new , and that was important to me . '' Marshall said the film provided him a long - awaited opportunity to work with Depp , and that his directing was helped by his experience as a choreographer -- `` the action sequences felt like big production numbers . '' On September 11 , 2009 , at Disney 's D23 convention during a Disney event , Cook and Johnny Depp , in full Captain Jack Sparrow costume , announced that a fourth Pirates film was in development . The title was announced as Pirates of the Caribbean : On Stranger Tides . Marshall visited the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland for inspiration , eventually paying homage with a skeleton holding a magnifying glass in Ponce de León 's ship . An appearance of `` Old Bill '' , the pirate who tries to share his rum with a cat , was also filmed but cut . Pintel and Ragetti were originally supposed to make an appearance , but director Rob Marshall opted out of the idea as he feared their roles would be cut . Cook resigned in September 2009 after working for Disney for over 38 years . Depp 's faith in Pirates of the Caribbean : On Stranger Tides was somewhat shaken after the resignation , with Depp explaining that `` There 's a fissure , a crack in my enthusiasm at the moment . It was all born in that office '' . Depp also explained Cook was one of the few who accepted his portrayal of Jack Sparrow : `` When things went a little sideways on the first Pirates movie and others at the studio were less than enthusiastic about my interpretation of the character , Dick was there from the first moment . He trusted me '' . Writing ( edit ) During production of Dead Man 's Chest and At World 's End , writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio discovered Tim Powers ' 1987 novel On Stranger Tides , which they considered a good foundation on which to base `` a new chapter '' in the Pirates series . Disney bought the rights to the novel in April 2007 . Rossio stated that he and Elliot had considered using Blackbeard and the Fountain of Youth in the story before reading the book , `` but whenever you say those words , Powers ' novel comes to mind . There was no way we could work in that field without going into territory Tim had explored . '' However , they denied that it would be a straight version of the novel : `` Blackbeard came from the book , and in the book there is a daughter character , too . But Jack Sparrow is not in the book , nor is Barbossa . So I would n't call this an adaptation . '' Rossio declared the script was written to be a standalone film , `` kind of a James Bond sort of thing '' , instead of the `` designed to be a trilogy '' structure of the previous installments . They hoped to `` design a story that would support new characters , '' as characters such as Will Turner would not return . Bruckheimer added that there was a decision to `` streamline the story a little bit , make it a little simpler and not have as many characters to follow '' , as the number of characters and subplots in At World 's End caused the film to have an unwieldy length . The duo decided to employ another sea myth alluded in the previous episodes : mermaids , which are briefly referenced in the book . The mermaids ' role expanded in the script , which included a vast attack sequence . Depp was deeply involved with the story design , frequently meeting the writers to show what he was interested in doing , and in the words of Rossio , being `` involved in coming up with story lines , connecting characters , creating moments that we would then fashion , shape and then go back . '' Among Depp 's suggestions were turning Phillip into a missionary and having a Spanish contingent following the protagonists . Afterwards , Rob Marshall and executive producer John DeLuca met Rossio and Elliot , and did alterations of their own , including building the female lead . Casting ( edit ) Top to bottom : Johnny Depp , Geoffrey Rush , and Kevin McNally who reprised their roles from the previous films as Captain Jack Sparrow , Captain Hector Barbossa , and Joshamee Gibbs respectively . Depp signed on to return as Captain Jack Sparrow in September 2008 , saying that he would come back if the script was good . Almost a year later , Disney announced that Depp would be paid $55.5 million for his role , realizing that without him the franchise would be `` dead and buried . '' Geoffrey Rush expressed interest in returning to his role as Barbossa , and Bruckheimer later confirmed his presence . Rush was positive on Barbossa having lost a leg , as he considered the disability made him `` angrier , more forceful and resilient as a character '' , and had to work with the stunt team for an accurate portrayal of the limp and usage of crutch , particularly during sword fighting scenes . While the production team considered a prop pegleg to be put over Rush 's leg , the tight schedule caused it to be replaced with a blue sock that was replaced digitally , with a knob on the shoe to give Rush a reference for his walk . Three other actors from the previous films returned , Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs , Greg Ellis as Lt. Theodore Groves , and Damian O'Hare as Lt. Gilette . Keith Richards also had a cameo , reprising his role as Captain Teague from At World 's End ; he and Depp tried to persuade Mick Jagger to audition for the part of a pirate elder . Previous cast members Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley stated that they would not reprise their roles , as they wanted to be involved in different films . They both thought the storyline involving their characters had gone as far as it could . On August 1 , 2009 , Bill Nighy expressed his desire to return as Davy Jones , who died in the previous film , saying the possibility to resurrect the character , but at the end , his inclusion was scrapped . On February 5 , 2010 , Mackenzie Crook also announced he would not be reprising his role of Ragetti , stating , `` They have n't asked me . But actually I do n't mind that at all . I 'm a fan of the first one especially and I think the trilogy we 've made is great . I 'd almost like them to leave it there . '' New cast members include Ian McShane , who plays the notorious pirate and primary antagonist of the film , Blackbeard , and Penélope Cruz , who plays Angelica , Jack Sparrow 's love interest . According to Marshall , McShane was chosen because `` he can play something evil but there 's always humor behind it as well '' and the actor accepted the job due to both the `` very funny and charming '' script and the opportunity to work with Marshall . The beard took one hour and a half to get applied , and McShane likened the character 's costume to `` a real biker pirate -- it 's all black leather . '' Marshall said Cruz was the only actress considered for the role , as she fit the description as `` an actress who could not only go toe to toe with Johnny and match him , but also needed to be all the things that Jack Sparrow is in a way . She needed to be funny and clever and smart and crafty and beautiful '' , and invited her for the role as they wrapped the production of Nine . The actress spent two months working out and learning fencing for the role . During filming , Cruz discovered she was pregnant , leading the costume department to redesign her wardrobe to be more elastic , and the producers to hire her sister Mónica Cruz to double for Penélope in risky scenes . Depp recommended Stephen Graham , who worked with him in Public Enemies , to play Scrum , a Machiavellian pirate and sidekick to Jack Sparrow , and Richard Griffiths for the role of King George II , as Depp was a fan of Griffiths ' work on Withnail and I. Sam Claflin , a recent drama school graduate with television experience , was chosen to play the missionary Philip , and British actor Paul Bazely also joined the cast . Spanish news website El Pais reported that the film had four Spanish actors : Cruz , Bergès - Frisbey , Óscar Jaenada , and Juan Carlos Vellido . Jaenada was picked for both his work in The Losers and a recommendation by Cruz . Casting for mermaids required the actresses to have natural breasts -- no implants . As Bruckheimer explained to EW , `` I do n't think they had breast augmentation in the 1700s , ( ... ) So it 's natural for casting people to say , ' We want real people . ' '' Marshall invited Spanish - French actress Àstrid Bergès - Frisbey to play Syrena after seeing her in a French magazine article on up - and - coming actresses . Bergès - Frisbey had to take lessons of English , swimming and breath control for the role . The rest of the mermaid portrayers , such as Australian supermodel Gemma Ward , were chosen for having `` exotic sense , an otherworldly sensibility , but also under those layers a deadly quality '' , according to Marshall , and had to take swimming lessons to learn movements such as the dolphin and eggbeater kicks . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography began on June 14 , 2010 , in Hawaii . Filming was moved to California in August 2010 , primarily at the Long Beach shore and a recreation of Whitecap Bay done in the Universal Studios backlot , as the original Hawaiian location on Halona Cove was plagued with strong tides . After a brief shoot in Puerto Rico , with locations in both Palomino Island and the Fort of San Cristóbal in San Juan , production moved to the United Kingdom in September , where principal photography wrapped on November 18 after 106 days of shooting . Locations included Hampton Court Palace in London , Knole House in Kent , and Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich . Interiors were shot at London 's Pinewood Studios , and a replica of an 18th - century London street was built on the backlot alongside the soundstages . The producers also considered using New Orleans as a location . In October , security was breached at the UK site when a celebrity impersonator gained access to filming at the Old Royal Naval College by dressing up as Captain Jack . After the joint production of Dead Man 's Chest and At World 's End cost over $300 million , Disney decided to give a lower budget to the fourth installment . Many costs had to be cut , including moving primary production to Hawaii and London , where tax credits are more favorable , and having a shorter shooting schedule and fewer scenes featuring special effects compared to At World 's End . The tighter schedule -- according to Bruckheimer , `` We had a 22 - week post , and for a picture like this , with almost 1,200 visual effects shots , it 's usually 40 weeks '' -- meant that Marshall supervised editing of sequences during filming . The British financial statements of the film revealed total expenditures of £ 240.7 million ( $410.6 million ) by 2013 , with Disney receiving a rebate of $32.1 million from the British government , making Pirates of the Caribbean : On Stranger Tides the most expensive film ever made to date . Bruckheimer said the decision to film in 3D was made due to its being `` immersive filmmaking ; I think it makes you part of the actual filming because you 're part of the screen . '' Bruckheimer described it as the first major `` exterior movie '' to be shot in 3D , as Avatar was mostly done in sound stages . At first Marshall was not much interested in 3D , but the director eventually considered it a film that could benefit from the format . `` You are on an adventure and with the 3D experience you are inside that adventure . '' While the original plan was to add 3D effects during post-production , the decision was made to shoot digitally with 3D cameras . Only one sequence was shot conventionally and needed a 3D conversion . The cameras were improved versions of the ones James Cameron developed for Avatar , which were made more compact for extra mobility . This meant the cameras could be brought into locations such as the Hawaiian jungle . The Queen Anne 's Revenge was built atop the Sunset , the same ship used to depict the Black Pearl in previous installments . On February 2010 , the Sunset was sailed from Long Beach to a shipyard in Hawaii for the reforms , where a big concern was to make it imposing , with three stories , without sacrificing actual seakeeping . Given Blackbeard was meant to be the meanest pirate to appear in the series , the look for the Queen Anne 's Revenge was ominous , with sails dyed blood red , various elements on fire , and a decoration based on skulls and bones ( drawing inspiration from the Sedlec Ossuary in Czech Republic ) . Damage from cannon fire was also added to show that `` not only Blackbeard was a dying man , but his ship is also a dying ship '' . The ship 's figurehead also drew inspiration from Blackbeard 's pirate flag . The replica ship HMS Surprise was used for Barbossa 's ship , the HMS Providence , and all the scenes aboard the Providence were shot on the Long Beach shore as the Surprise could not be sailed to Hawaii . Over 50 designs were considered for the Fountain of Youth , with the final one representing a temple built by an ancient civilization around the Fountain , which itself was located in a round rocky structure to represent `` the circle of life '' . The locations leading up to the Fountain were shot in the Hawaiian islands of Kauai and Oahu , but the Fountain itself was built at the 007 Stage on Pinewood . Effects ( edit ) On Stranger Tides employed 1,112 shots of computer - generated imagery , which were done by ten visual effects companies . Cinesite visual effects supervisor Simon Stanley - Clamp claimed that the most difficult part was doing the effects in 3D : `` Rotoscoping is tricky . Cleaning up plates is double the work , and tracking has to be spot on . '' The lead companies , with over 300 effects each , were Industrial Light & Magic -- responsible for , among others , the mermaids and most water effects -- and Moving Picture Company , who created digital ships and environment extensions , such as changing weather and designing cliffs and waterfalls . Filming the mermaids involved eight model - actresses , who portrayed them outside the water , as well as 22 synchronized swimming athletes and a group of stuntwomen , both of whom wore motion capture suits to be later replaced by digital mermaids . Mermaid corpses were depicted by plaster models . The design tried to avoid the traditional representations of mermaids in paintings and literature , instead going for a scaly body with a translucent membrane inspired by both jellyfish and the fabric employed in ballet tutus . To make the mermaids more menacing underwater , the faces of the actresses had some digital touch - ups on the underwater scenes , adding sharper teeth and a shimmery fish scale quality on the skin . ILM also handled Blackbeard 's death , where Ian McShane 's actual performance was covered by digital doubles which turned him into a `` boiling mass of blood and clothing '' , and a hurricane - like formation that represented `` the waters of the Fountain taking his life '' . Cinesite handled the recreation of London and Barbossa 's peg leg , CIS Hollywood did 3D corrections and minor shots , and Method Studios created matte paintings . Music ( edit ) Main article : Pirates of the Caribbean : On Stranger Tides ( soundtrack ) The film 's score was written by Hans Zimmer , who had worked in all of the previous entries in the franchise ; being the main composer for the second and third installments . Zimmer said that he tried to incorporate a rock n ' roll sound , as he felt `` pirates were the rock ' n ' rollers of many , many years ago '' , and Spanish elements , which led to a collaboration with Mexican guitarists Rodrigo y Gabriela and a tango song written by Penélope Cruz 's brother Eduardo . American composer Eric Whitacre contributed several choir - based cues , as well as regular assistant Geoff Zanelli . Release ( edit ) Penélope Cruz and Johnny Depp promoting the film at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival . On January 6 , 2010 , Disney announced that the film would be released in the United States and Canada on May 20 , 2011 , following Columbia Pictures ' announcement of a delay in the Spider - Man reboot and Paramount Pictures slating Thor for May 6 , 2011 . The film was released in IMAX 3D , as well as traditional 2D and IMAX format , with Dolby 7.1 surround sound . This film was also the first film to be released in the 4DX motion theaters in Mexico and in the Western Hemisphere , featuring strobe lights , tilting seats , blowing wind and fog and odor effects . It is available exclusively at select Cinépolis cinemas . The world premiere of On Stranger Tides was on May 7 , 2011 , at a premium ticket screening at Disneyland in Anaheim , California , home of the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride that inspired the film series . Many of the film 's stars were in attendance . Two other early screenings followed , one in Moscow on May 11 , and another during the Cannes International Film Festival on May 14 . The international release dates fell within May 18 and 20 , with opening dates in the United Kingdom on May 18 , in Australia on May 19 , and in North America on May 20 . The film was released on a then - record 402 IMAX screens , 257 screens in North America , and 139 in other territories . The total number of theaters was 4,155 in North America and 18,210 worldwide . Promotion ( edit ) Disney 's marketing president , MT Carney , said that the film 's advertising campaign was intended `` to remind people of why they fell in love with Jack Sparrow in the first place and also introduce new elements in a way that was elegant '' . Sony Pictures ' former marketing president , Valerie Van Galder , was hired as a consultant . The first footage from the film appeared on Entertainment Tonight on December 4 , 2010 . Three trailers were released , one in December , which had a 3D version included with the release of Tron : Legacy and broadcast by ESPN 3D ; a Super Bowl XLV spot on February 2011 , which was later released online in an extended version ; and a final trailer in March that focused more on the plot than the previous trailer and commercials . Promotional tie - ins included Lego Pirates of the Caribbean toy sets and a related video game , a cell phone app by Verizon Wireless , a special edition of Pirate 's Booty , lines of nail polish by OPI , clothing from Hot Topic , and jewelry from Swarovski . Goldline International produced replicas of the `` Pieces of Eight '' coins from the movies and gold Mexican Escudo coins , which were given in sweepstakes at the El Capitan Theatre . At Disney California Adventure Park , the Pirates of the Caribbean segment of the World of Color show was extended to include visual clips and music from On Stranger Tides . Home media ( edit ) The film was released on DVD and Blu - Ray on September 12 , 2011 in the UK , topping both the Blu - ray and DVD sales charts during its first two weeks . The film had its high - definition home release on October 18 , 2011 in the United States and Canada . Three different physical packages were made available : a 2 - disc combo pack ( Blu - ray and DVD ) , a 5 - disc combo pack ( 2 - disc Blu - ray , 1 - disc Blu - ray 3D , 1 - disc DVD , and 1 - disc Digital Copy ) , and a 15 - disc collection featuring all four Pirates movies . On Stranger Tides was also released as a movie download in both high definition and 3D . The regular DVD edition came out on December 6 . In its first week of release , it sold 1.71 million Blu - ray units and generated $48.50 million , topping the weekly Blu - ray chart . However these results were quite skewed due to the one - month delay of its DVD - only release . It sold 3.20 million Blu - ray units ( $83.46 million ) after 11 weeks . It has also sold 1.12 million DVD units ( $19.32 million ) . Upon its television premiere on December 29 , 2013 in the UK on BBC One , it was watched by a total of 5.4 million viewers , making it the third-most watched program that night , according to overnight figures .

Critical reception ( edit ) Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 33 % based on 259 reviews , with an average rating of 5 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` It 's shorter and leaner than the previous sequel , but this Pirates runs aground on a disjointed plot and a non-stop barrage of noisy action sequences . '' Metacritic , which assigns a weighted average rating to reviews , gives the film an average score of 45 out of 100 , based on 39 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . CinemaScore polls reported that the average grade moviegoers gave the film was a `` B + '' on an A+ to F scale . Roger Ebert gave On Stranger Tides two out of four stars , saying that although the removal of Knightley and Bloom as well as the addition of Cruz were positive aspects , the film in general was `` too much of a muchness '' for him . Tom Long of The Detroit News gave a D+ , saying that Jack Sparrow had `` worn out his welcome '' . Despite the more linear plot , `` the movie is still ridiculous '' . He found On Stranger Tides to be `` precisely what you 'd expect of the fourth installment of a movie based on an amusement park ride : a whole lot of noise , plenty of stunts and complete silliness . '' British film critic Mark Kermode gave the film an overwhelmingly negative review on his 5 Live show , saying `` it 's not as staggeringly misjudged as the third part , because it is just nothing , it is just a big empty nothing , whereas part three I think was an active atrocity , it 's just nothing at all '' . As with the previous films , the plot was criticized as incoherent and confusing . The Arizona Republic critic Bill Goodykoontz rated the film two out of five , stating that `` the movie is a series of distractions tossed together in the hopes that they will come together in a coherent story . That never really happens . '' Online reviewer James Berardinelli considered the script `` little more than a clothesline from which to dangle all of the obligatory set pieces '' , and USA Today 's Claudia Puig found On Stranger Tides `` familiar and predictable ... often incoherent and crammed with pointless details . '' Mike Scott from The Times - Picayune mentions that `` while this latest chapter is n't quite sharp enough to restore the sense of discovery that made that first outing so darn exciting , it 's enough to make up for most of the missteps that made the third one so darn arrgh - inducing . '' Writing for The A.V. Club , Tasha Robinson described On Stranger Tides as `` a smaller film than past installments , by design and necessity '' , and felt that `` the series has needed this streamlining '' as the film `` feels lightweight , but that 's still better than bloated . '' On Stranger Tides also had positive reviews ; some critics found the film to be entertaining and well - made . Richard Roeper gave the film a B+ , describing it as `` the most fun installment since the first '' , calling the story `` pure cartoon , but a lot easier to follow than the other sequels '' , and summing as `` the franchise is getting tired , but Penelope energizes it . '' Along the same lines , Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post gave the film three out of four stars , writing that it `` feels as fresh and bracingly exhilarating as the day Jack Sparrow first swashed his buckle , infusing new reckless energy into a franchise that shows no signs of furling its sails '' . She said that Marshall `` swiftly and without fuss delivers the action set pieces and eye - popping escapism '' and praised Depp , Cruz , and McShane 's performances . Ray Bennett from The Hollywood Reporter considered that Marshall `` shows terrific flair with all the usual chases and sword fights , and he handles the 3D well '' , and welcomed Penélope Cruz 's character , saying she `` brings her Oscar - winning vivacity '' and had `` lively sexual tension '' with Depp . Writing for The Globe and Mail , Rick Groen found the action scenes to range from `` merely competent to tritely cluttered '' , but he was pleased with the overall result , calling McShane a `` fresh villain '' whose `` stentorian tones are welcome anywhere '' . Variety 's Andrew Barker considered the film derivative , but accessible . `` It has nary an original idea and still does n't make much sense , but it 's lost all pretensions that it should '' . He praised Geoffrey Rush , stating that he `` not only gets the funniest lines and reaction shots , but also starts to siphon away much of the roguish charm that used to be Depp 's stock and trade .

Fixed and adjustable aperture sights incorporated onto later variants . The Lee -- Enfield is a bolt - action , magazine - fed , repeating rifle that was the main firearm used by the military forces of the British Empire and Commonwealth during the first half of the 20th century . It was the British Army 's standard rifle from its official adoption in 1895 until 1957 . It is often referred to as the `` SMLE , '' which is short for the common `` Short Magazine Lee - Enfield '' variant . A redesign of the Lee -- Metford ( adopted by the British Army in 1888 ) , the Lee -- Enfield superseded the earlier Martini -- Henry , Martini -- Enfield , and Lee -- Metford rifles . It featured a ten - round box magazine which was loaded with the . 303 British cartridge manually from the top , either one round at a time or by means of five - round chargers . The Lee -- Enfield was the standard issue weapon to rifle companies of the British Army and other Commonwealth nations in both the First and Second World Wars ( these Commonwealth nations included Australia , New Zealand , Canada , India and South Africa , among others ) . Although officially replaced in the UK with the L1A1 SLR in 1957 , it remained in widespread British service until the early / mid-1960s and the 7.62 mm L42 sniper variant remained in service until the 1990s . As a standard - issue infantry rifle , it is still found in service in the armed forces of some Commonwealth nations , notably with the Bangladesh Police , which makes it the second longest - serving military bolt - action rifle still in official service , after the Mosin -- Nagant . The Canadian Rangers unit still use Enfield rifles , with plans to replace the weapons sometime in 2017 -- 2018 with the new Sako - designed Colt C - 19 . Total production of all Lee -- Enfields is estimated at over 17 million rifles . The Lee -- Enfield takes its name from the designer of the rifle 's bolt system -- James Paris Lee -- and the factory in which it was designed -- the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield . In Australia , Canada , New Zealand , Southern Africa and India the rifle became known simply as the `` three - oh - three '' Contents ( hide ) 1 Design and history 1.1 Models / marks of Lee -- Enfield Rifle and service periods 2 Magazine Lee -- Enfield 3 Short Magazine Lee -- Enfield Mk I 4 Short Magazine Lee -- Enfield Mk III 4.1 Pattern 1913 Enfield 5 Pattern 1914 / US M1917 6 Inter-war period 7 Lee -- Enfield No. 1 Mk V 8 Rifle No. 4 9 Rifle No. 5 Mk I -- the `` Jungle Carbine '' 10 Lee -- Enfield conversions and training models 10.1 Sniper rifles 10.2 . 22 Training Rifles 10.3 Muskets and Shotguns 10.4 Civilian conversions and variants 10.5 L59A1 Drill Rifle 11 Special Service Lee -- Enfields : Commando and Automatic models 11.1 Charlton Automatic Rifles 11.2 De Lisle Commando carbine 11.3 Ekins Automatic Rifle 11.4 Howard Francis carbine 11.5 Howell Automatic Rifle 11.6 Rieder Automatic Rifle 12 Conversion to 7.62 × 51mm NATO 12.1 Ishapore 2A / 2A1 13 Production and manufacturers 13.1 List of manufacturers 13.1. 1 Australian International Arms No. 4 Mk IV 13.2 Khyber Pass Copies 13.3 Armalon 14 The Lee -- Enfield in military / police use today 15 The Lee -- Enfield in civilian use 16 Users 17 See also 18 Notes 19 References 20 External links Design and History ( edit ) The Lee -- Enfield rifle was derived from the earlier Lee -- Metford , a mechanically similar black - powder rifle , which combined James Paris Lee 's rear - locking bolt system with a barrel featuring rifling designed by William Ellis Metford . The Lee action cocked the striker on the closing stroke of the bolt , making the initial opening much faster and easier compared to the `` cock on opening '' ( i.e. , the firing pin cocks upon opening the bolt ) of the Mauser Gewehr 98 design . The bolt has a relatively short bolt throw and features rear - mounted lugs and the bolt operating handle places the bolt knob just rearwards of the trigger at a favorable ergonomic position close to the operator 's hand . The action features helical locking surfaces ( the technical term is interrupted threading ) . This means that final head space is not achieved until the bolt handle is turned down all the way . The British probably used helical locking lugs to allow for chambering imperfect or dirty ammunition and that the closing cam action is distributed over the entire mating faces of both bolt and receiver lugs . This is one reason the bolt closure feels smooth . The rifle was also equipped with a detachable sheet - steel , 10 - round , double - column magazine , a very modern development in its day . Originally , the concept of a detachable magazine was opposed in some British Army circles , as some feared that the private soldier might be likely to lose the magazine during field campaigns . Early models of the Lee -- Metford and Lee -- Enfield even used a short length of chain to secure the magazine to the rifle . To further facilitate rapid aimed fire the rifle can be cycled by most rifleman without loss of sight picture . These design features facilitate rapid cycling and fire compared to other bolt - action designs like the Mauser . The Lee bolt - action and 10 - round magazine capacity enabled a well - trained rifleman to perform the `` mad minute '' firing 20 to 30 aimed rounds in 60 seconds , making the Lee -- Enfield the fastest military bolt - action rifle of the day . The current world record for aimed bolt - action fire was set in 1914 by a musketry instructor in the British Army -- Sergeant Instructor Snoxall -- who placed 38 rounds into a 12 - inch - wide ( 300 mm ) target at 300 yards ( 270 m ) in one minute . Some straight - pull bolt - action rifles were thought faster , but lacked the simplicity , reliability , and generous magazine capacity of the Lee -- Enfield . Several First World War accounts tell of British troops repelling German attackers who subsequently reported that they had encountered machine guns , when in fact it was simply a group of well - trained riflemen armed with SMLE Mk III rifles . Standard Mk VII . 303 inch cartridge for Lee -- Enfield rifle The Lee -- Enfield was adapted to fire the . 303 British service cartridge , a rimmed , high - powered rifle round . Experiments with smokeless powder in the existing Lee -- Metford cartridge seemed at first to be a simple upgrade , but the greater heat and pressure generated by the new smokeless powder wore away the shallow , rounded , Metford rifling after approximately 6000 rounds . Replacing this with a new square - shaped rifling system designed at the Royal Small Arms Factory ( RSAF ) Enfield solved the problem , and the Lee -- Enfield was born .

Rifle No. 4 Mk 2 1949 -- present Rifle 7.62 mm 2A 1964 -- present Rifle 7.62 mm 2A1 1965 -- present Magazine Lee -- Enfield ( edit ) The Lee -- Enfield rifle was introduced in November 1895 as the . 303 calibre , Rifle , Magazine , Lee -- Enfield , or more commonly Magazine Lee -- Enfield , or MLE ( sometimes spoken as `` emily '' instead of M , L , E ) . The next year , a shorter version was introduced as the Lee -- Enfield Cavalry Carbine Mk I , or LEC , with a 21.2 - inch ( 540 mm ) barrel as opposed to the 30.2 - inch ( 770 mm ) one in the `` long '' version . Both underwent a minor upgrade series in 1899 ( the omission of the cleaning / clearing rod ) , becoming the Mk I * . Many LECs ( and LMCs in smaller numbers ) were converted to special patterns , namely the New Zealand Carbine and the Royal Irish Constabulary Carbine , or NZ and RIC carbines , respectively . Some of the MLEs ( and MLMs ) were converted to load from chargers , and designated Charger Loading Lee -- Enfields , or CLLEs . Short magazine Lee -- Enfield Mk I ( edit ) A shorter and lighter version of the original MLE -- the famous Rifle , Short , Magazine , Lee -- Enfield , or SMLE ( sometimes spoken as `` Smelly '' , rather than S , M , L , E ) -- was introduced on 1 January 1904 . The barrel was now halfway in length between the original long rifle and the carbine , at 25.2 inches ( 640 mm ) . The SMLE 's visual trademark was its blunt nose , with only the bayonet boss protruding a small fraction of an inch beyond the nosecap , being modeled on the Swedish Model 1894 Cavalry Carbine . The new rifle also incorporated a charger loading system , another innovation borrowed from the Mauser rifle ' and is notably different from the fixed `` bridge '' that later became the standard , being a charger clip ( stripper clip ) guide on the face of the bolt head . The shorter length was controversial at the time : many Rifle Association members and gunsmiths were concerned that the shorter barrel would not be as accurate as the longer MLE barrels , that the recoil would be much greater , and the sighting radius would be too short . Short magazine Lee -- Enfield Mk III ( edit ) Short Magazine Lee -- Enfield No. 1 Mk . III Israeli female soldiers equipped with the SMLE Mk III during the 1948 Arab Israeli War . Magazine Cut - Off on an SMLE Mk III rifle -- this feature was removed on the Mk III * rifle . The iconic Lee -- Enfield rifle , the SMLE Mk III , was introduced on 26 January 1907 , along with a Pattern 1907 ( P'07 ) sword bayonet and featured a simplified rear sight arrangement and a fixed , rather than a bolt - head - mounted sliding , charger guide . The design of the handguards and the magazine were also improved , and the chamber was adapted to fire the new Mk VII High Velocity spitzer . 303 ammunition . Many early model rifles , of Magazine Lee -- Enfield ( MLE ) , Magazine Lee -- Metford ( MLM ) , and SMLE type , were upgraded to the Mk III standard . These are designated Mk IV Cond. , with various asterisks denoting subtypes . During the First World War , the SMLE Mk III was found to be too complicated to manufacture ( an SMLE Mk III rifle cost the British Government £ 3 / 15 / - ) and demand was outstripping supply , so in late 1915 the Mk III * was introduced , which incorporated several changes , the most prominent of which were the deletion of the magazine cut - off mechanism , which when engaged permits the feeding and extraction of single cartridges only while keeping the cartridges in the magazine in reserve , and the long - range volley sights . The windage adjustment of the rear sight was also dispensed with , and the cocking piece was changed from a round knob to a serrated slab . Rifles with some or all of these features present are found , as the changes were implemented at different times in different factories and as stocks of existing parts were used . The magazine cut - off was reinstated after the First World War ended and not entirely dispensed with until 1942 . The inability of the principal manufacturers ( RSAF Enfield , The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited and London Small Arms Co. Ltd ) to meet military production demands , led to the development of the `` peddled scheme '' , which contracted out the production of whole rifles and rifle components to several shell companies . The SMLE Mk III * ( renamed Rifle No. 1 Mk III * in 1926 ) saw extensive service throughout the Second World War as well , especially in the North African , Italian , Pacific and Burmese theatres in the hands of British and Commonwealth forces . Australia and India retained and manufactured the SMLE Mk III * as their standard - issue rifle during the conflict and the rifle remained in Australian military service through the Korean War , until it was replaced by the L1A1 SLR in the late 1950s . The Lithgow Small Arms Factory finally ceased production of the SMLE Mk III * in 1953 . The Rifle Factory at Ishapore , West Bengal , India produced the MkIII * in . 303 British and then upgraded the manufactured strength by heat treatment of the receiver and bolt to fire 7.62 × 51mm NATO ammunition , the model 2A , which retained the 2000 yard rear sight as the metric conversion of distance was very close to the flatter trajectory of the new ammunition nature , then changed the rear sight to 800m with a re-designation to model 2A1 . Manufactured until at least the 1980s and continues to produce a sporting rifle based on the MkIII * action . Pattern 1913 Enfield ( edit ) Main article : Pattern 1913 Enfield Due to the poor performance of the . 303 British cartridge during the Second Boer War from 1899 -- 1902 , the British attempted to replace the round and the Lee -- Enfield rifle that fired it . The main deficiency of the rounds at the time was that they used heavy , round - nosed bullets that had low muzzle velocities and poor ballistic performance . The 7mm Mauser rounds fired from the Mauser Model 1895 rifle had a higher velocity , flatter trajectory and longer range , making them superior on the open country of the South African plains . Work on a long - range replacement cartridge began in 1910 and resulted in the . 276 Enfield in 1912 . A new rifle based on the Mauser design was created to fire the round , called the Pattern 1913 Enfield . Although the . 276 Enfield had better ballistics , troop trials in 1913 revealed problems including excessive recoil , muzzle flash , barrel wear and overheating . Attempts were made to find a cooler - burning propellant but further trials were halted in 1914 by the onset of World War I . This proved fortunate for the Lee -- Enfield , as wartime demand and the improved Mk VII loading of the . 303 round , caused it to be retained for service . Pattern 1914 / US M1917 ( edit ) Main articles : Pattern 1914 Enfield and M1917 Enfield The Pattern 1914 Enfield and M1917 Enfield rifles are based on the Enfield - designed P1913 , itself a Mauser 98 derivative and not based on the Lee action , and are not part of the Lee -- Enfield family of rifles , although they are frequently assumed to be . Inter-war period ( edit ) Lee -- Enfield No. 4 Mk I Longbranch aperture sights In 1926 , the British Army changed their nomenclature ; the SMLE became known as the Rifle No. 1 Mk III or III * , with the original MLE and LEC becoming obsolete along with the earlier SMLE models . Many Mk III and III * rifles were converted to . 22 rimfire calibre training rifles , and designated Rifle No. 2 , of varying marks . ( The Pattern 1914 became the Rifle No. 3 . ) The SMLE design was a relatively expensive long arm to manufacture , because of the many forging and machining operations required . In the 1920s , a series of experiments resulting in design changes were carried out to help with these problems , reducing the number of complex parts and refining manufacturing processes . The SMLE Mk V ( later Rifle No. 1 Mk V ) , adopted a new receiver - mounted aperture sighting system , which moved the rear sight from its former position on the barrel . The increased gap resulted in an improved sighting radius , improving sighting accuracy and the aperture improved speed of sighting over various distances . In the stowed position , a fixed distance aperture battle sight calibrated for 300 yd ( 274 m ) protruded saving further precious seconds when laying the sight to a target . An alternative developed during this period was to be used on the No. 4 variant , a `` battle sight '' was developed that allowed for two set distances of 300 yards and 600 yards to be quickly deployed and was cheaper to produce than the `` ladder sight '' . The magazine cutoff was also reintroduced and an additional band was added near the muzzle for additional strength during bayonet use . The design was found to be even more complicated and expensive to manufacture than the Mk III and was not developed or issued , beyond a trial production of about 20,000 rifles between 1922 and 1924 at RSAF Enfield . The No. 1 Mk VI also introduced a heavier `` floating barrel '' that was independent of the forearm , allowing the barrel to expand and contract without contacting the forearm and interfering with the ' zero ' , the correlation between the alignment of the barrel and the sights . The floating barrel increased the accuracy of the rifle by allowing it to vibrate freely and consistently , whereas wooden forends in contact with barrels , if not properly fitted , affected the harmonic vibrations of the barrel . The receiver - mounted rear sights and magazine cutoff were also present and 1,025 units were produced between 1930 and 1933 . Lee -- Enfield No. 1 Mk V ( edit ) Long before the No. 4 Mk I , Britain had obviously settled on the rear aperture sight prior to WWI , with modifications to the SMLE being tested as early as 1911 , as well as later on the No. 1 Mk III pattern rifle . These unusual rifles have something of a mysterious service history , but represent a missing link in SMLE development . The primary distinguishing feature of the No. 1 Mk V is the rear aperture sight . Like the No. 1 Mk III * it lacked a volley sight and had the wire loop in place of the sling swivel at the front of magazine well along with the simplified cocking piece . The Mk V did retain a magazine cut - off , but without a spotting hole , the piling swivel was kept attached to a forward barrel band , which was wrapped over and attached to the rear of the nose cap to reinforce the rifle for use with the standard Pattern 1907 bayonet . Other distinctive features include a nose cap screw was slotted for the width of a coin for easy removal , a safety lever on the left side of the receiver was slightly modified with a unique angular groove pattern , and the two - piece hand guard being extended from the nose cap to the receiver , omitting the barrel mounted leaf sight . No. 1 Mk V rifles were manufactured solely by R.S.A.F. Enfield from 1922 -- 1924 , with a total production of roughly 20,000 rifles , all of which marked with a `` V '' . Rifle No. 4 ( edit ) Lee -- Enfield No. 4 Mk I Lee -- Enfield No. 4 Mk 2 with the ladder aperture sight flipped up and 5 - round charger By the late 1930s , the need for new rifles grew and the Rifle , No. 4 Mk I was officially adopted in 1941 . The No. 4 action was similar to the Mk VI , but stronger and most importantly , easier to mass - produce . Unlike the SMLE , that had a nose cap , the No 4 Lee -- Enfield barrel protruded from the end of the forestock . The charger bridge was no longer rounded for easier machining . The iron sight line was redesigned and featured a rear receiver aperture battle sight calibrated for 300 yd ( 274 m ) with an additional ladder aperture sight that could be flipped up and was calibrated for 200 -- 1,300 yd ( 183 -- 1,189 m ) in 100 yd ( 91 m ) increments . This sight line like other aperture sight lines proved to be faster and more accurate than the typical mid-barrel rear sight elements sight lines offered by Mauser , previous Lee -- Enfields or the Buffington battle sight of the 1903 Springfield . The No. 4 rifle was heavier than the No. 1 Mk . III , largely due to its heavier barrel and a new bayonet was designed to go with the rifle : a spike bayonet , which was essentially a steel rod with a sharp point and was nicknamed `` pigsticker '' by soldiers . Towards the end of the Second World War , a bladed bayonet was developed , originally intended for use with the Sten gun -- but sharing the same mount as the No. 4 's spike bayonet -- and subsequently the No. 7 and No. 9 blade bayonets were issued for use with the No. 4 rifle as well . However , in McAuslan in the Rough , George MacDonald Fraser alleges that the Pattern 1907 bladed bayonet used with the SMLE was also compatible with the No. 4 rifle . During the course of the Second World War , the No. 4 rifle was further simplified for mass - production with the creation of the No. 4 Mk I * in 1942 , with the bolt release catch replaced by a simpler notch on the bolt track of the rifle 's receiver . It was produced only in North America , by Long Branch Arsenal in Canada and Savage - Stevens Firearms in the USA . The No. 4 Mk I rifle was primarily produced for the United Kingdom . In the years after the Second World War , the British produced the No. 4 Mk 2 ( Arabic numerals replaced Roman numerals for official designations in 1944 ) rifle , a refined and improved No. 4 rifle with the trigger hung forward from the butt collar and not from the trigger guard , beech wood stocks ( with the original reinforcing strap and centre piece of wood in the rear of the forestock on the No. 4 Mk I / Mk I * being removed in favour of a tie screw and nut ) and brass buttplates ( during World War II , the British replaced the brass buttplates on the No. 4 rifles with zinc alloy ( Zamak ) ones to reduce costs and to speed up rifle production ) . With the introduction of the No. 4 Mk 2 rifle , the British refurbished many of their existing stocks of No. 4 rifles and brought them up to the same standard as the No. 4 Mk 2 . No. 4 Mk 1 rifles so upgraded were re-designated No. 4 Mk I / 2 , whilst No. 4 Mk I * rifles that were brought up to Mk 2 standard were re-designated No. 4 Mk I / 3 . Rifle No. 5 Mk I -- the `` Jungle Carbine '' ( edit ) Main article : Jungle Carbine Later in the war , the need for a shorter , lighter rifle forced the development of the Rifle , No. 5 Mk I ( the `` Jungle Carbine '' ) . With a cut - down stock , a prominent flash hider , and a `` lightening - cut '' receiver machined to remove all unnecessary metal , reduced barrel length of 18.8 in ( 478 mm ) the No. 5 was shorter and 2 lb ( 0.9 kg ) lighter . Despite a rubber butt - pad , the . 303 round produced excessive recoil due to the shorter barrel . It was unsuitable for general issue and production ceased in 1947 , due to an `` inherent fault in the design '' , often claimed to be a `` wandering zero '' and accuracy problems . The No. 5 iron sight line was similar to the No. 4 marks and featured a rear receiver aperture battle sight calibrated for 300 yd ( 274 m ) with an additional ladder aperture sight that could be flipped up and was calibrated for 200 -- 800 yd ( 183 -- 732 m ) in 100 yd ( 91 m ) increments . The No. 5 Mk I was popular with soldiers owing to its light weight , portability and shorter length than a standard Lee -- Enfield rifle . The No. 5 was first issued to the British 1st Airborne Division and used during their liberation of Denmark and Norway in 1945 . BSA - Shirley , Birmingham produced 81329 rifles and ROF Fazakerley , Liverpool 169807 rifles . An Australian experimental version of the No. 5 Mk I , designated Rifle , No. 6 , Mk I was also developed , using an SMLE MK III * as a starting point ( as opposed to the No. 4 Mk I used to develop the No. 5 Mk I ) . The Australian military were not permitted to manufacture the No. 4 Mk I , because the Lithgow Small Arms Factory was producing the SMLE Mk III . The No. 6 Mk I never entered full production and examples are rare and valuable to collectors . A `` Shortened and Lightened '' version of the SMLE Mk III * rifle was also tested by the Australian military and a very small number were manufactured at SAF Lithgow during the course of the Second World War . The term `` Jungle Carbine '' was popularised in the 1950s by the Santa Fe Arms Corporation , a U.S. importer who refurbished many surplus rifles , converting many of the No. 4 marks , in the hope of increasing sales of a rifle that had little U.S. market penetration . It was never an official military designation but British and Commonwealth troops serving in the Burmese and Pacific theatres during World War II had been known to unofficially refer to the No. 5 Mk I as a `` Jungle Carbine '' . The No. 4 and No. 5 rifles served in Korea ( as did the No. 1 Mk III * SMLE and sniper ' T ' variants , mostly with Australian troops ) . Lee -- Enfield conversions and Training models ( edit ) Sniper rifles ( edit ) Canadian sniper Sergeant Harold Marshall carries a No. 4 Mk . I ( T ) chambered in . 303 British . L42A1 sniper rifle chambered in 7.62 × 51mm NATO . During both World Wars and the Korean War , a number of Lee -- Enfield rifles were modified for use as sniper rifles . The Australian Army modified 1,612 Lithgow SMLE No. 1 Mk . III * rifles by adding a heavy target barrel , cheek - piece , and a World War I era Pattern 1918 telescope , creating the SMLE No. 1 Mk . III * ( HT ) . ( HT standing for `` Heavy Barrel , Telescopic Sight ) , which saw service in the Second World War , Korea , and Malaya and was used for Sniper Training through to the late 1970s . There is evidence that some SMLE No. 1 Mk . III * ( HT ) sniper rifles were used by Australian forces during the later stages of the Vietnam War . During the Second World War , standard No. 4 rifles , selected for their accuracy during factory tests , were modified by the addition of a wooden cheek - piece , and telescopic sight mounts designed to accept a No. 32 3.5 × telescopic sight . The accuracy requirement was ability to place 7 of 7 shots in a 5 inches ( 12.7 cm ) circle at 200 yards ( 183 m ) . The wooden cheek - piece was attached with two screws . The rear `` battle sight '' was ground off to make room to attach the No. 32 telescope sight to the left side of the receiver . Each No. 32 and its bracket ( mount ) were matched and serial numbered to a specific rifle . This particular sight progressed through three marks with the Mk. 1 introduced in 1942 , the Mk. 2 in 1943 and finally the Mk. 3 in 1944 . Many Mk . 3s and Mk. 2 / 1s ( Mk . 2s Modified to Mk. 3 standard ) were later modified for use with the 7.62 × 51mm NATO L42A1 Sniper Rifle . They were known by the designation Telescope Straight , Sighting L1A1 . Initial production was 1,403 conversions of 1931 -- 1933 troop trials No. 4 Mk . I rifles at RSAF Enfield and a few others including Stevens - Savage No. 4s . These were converted in late 1941 and into the later part of 1942 . Then , the work was assigned to Holland & Holland , the famous British sporting gun manufacturers , which converted about 23,000 No. 4 Mk . I ( T ) and No. 4 Mk . I * ( T ) sniper rifles . The H&H conversions usually have the contractor code `` S51 '' on the buttstock . BSA Shirley undertook 100 conversions to . 22 `` . James Purdey and Sons fitted special buttstocks later in the war . About 3,000 rifles , mostly Stevens - Savage , appear to have been partially converted by Holland & Holland , but never received brackets , scopes of the final `` T '' mark . Canada converted about 1,588 rifles at Small Arms Limited ( to the end of 1945 ) and , in 1946 , at Canadian Arsenals Limited . Both were located at Long Branch , Ontario . Most of the Canadian made No. 4 Mk. I * ( T ) sniper equipments went into British service . The No. 4 ( T ) rifles were extensively employed in various conflicts until the late 1960s . The British military switched over to the 7.62 × 51mm NATO round in the 1950s ; starting in 1970 , many of the No. 4 Mk I ( T ) sniper rifles were converted to this new calibre and designated L42A1 . The L42A1 sniper rifle continued as the British Army 's standard sniper weapon being phased out by 1993 , and replaced by Accuracy International 's L96 . . 22 Training rifles ( edit ) Numbers of Lee -- Enfield rifles were converted to . 22 calibre training rifles , in order to teach cadets and new recruits the various aspects of shooting , firearms safety , and marksmanship at a markedly reduced cost per round . Initially , rifles were converted from obsolete Magazine Lee -- Metford and Magazine Lee -- Enfield rifles but from the First World War onwards SMLE rifles were used instead . These were known as . 22 Pattern 1914 Short Rifles during The First World War and Rifle , No. 2 Mk. IV from 1921 onwards . They were generally single - shot affairs , originally using Morris tubes chambered for cheap . 22L cartridge and some larger types , circa 1907 . Some were later modified with special adaptors to enable magazine loading . In 1914 , Enfield produced complete . 22 barrels and bolts specifically for converting . 303 units , and these soon became the most common conversion . A five - round . 22 cal ' Parker - Hiscock ' magazine was also developed and in service for a relatively short period during the later period of the First World War , but was subsequently withdrawn from issue due to reliability problems with its quite complicated loading and feeding mechanism . No. 2 Mk. IV rifles are externally identical to a . 303 calibre SMLE Mk III * rifle , the only difference being the . 22 calibre barrel , empty magazine case , bolthead and extractor which have been modified to fire . 22 calibre rimfire cartridges . After the Second World War , the Rifle , No. 7 , Rifle , No. 8 and Rifle , No. 9 , all . 22 rimfire trainers and / or target rifles based on the Lee action , were adopted or in use with Cadet units and target shooters throughout the Commonwealth , the No. 8 as of 2017 has been replaced among cadet forces due to obsolescence . In Britain , a . 22RF version of the No. 5 Rifle was prototyped by BSA and trialled with a view to it becoming the British Service training rifle when the . 303 `` CF No. 5 was initially mooted as being a potential replacement for the No. 4 Rifle . The C No. 7 22 '' MK. I rifle is a . 22 single shot , manually fed , training version of the No. 4 Mk I * rifle manufactured at Long Branch . Muskets and shotguns ( edit ) Conversion of rifles to smoothbored guns was carried out in several locations , at various times , for varying reasons . SAF Lithgow , in Australia , produced shotguns based on the MkIII action under the `` Slazenger '' name , chambering the common commercial . 410 shotgun shell . Commercial gunsmiths in Australia and Britain converted both MkIII and No4 rifles to . 410 shotguns . These conversions were prompted by firearms legislation that made possession of a rifle chambered in a military cartridge both difficult and expensive . Smoothbored shotguns could be legally held with far less trouble . RFI , in India , converted a large number of MkIII rifles to single shot muskets , chambered for the . 410 Indian Musket cartridge . These conversions were for issue to police and prison guards , to provide a firearm with a much - reduced power and range in comparison to the . 303 cartridge . A further likely consideration was the difficulty of obtaining replacement ammunition in the event of the rifle 's theft or the carrier 's desertion . While British and Australian conversions were to the standard commercially available . 410 shotgun cartridge ( though of varying chamber lengths ) the Indian conversions have been the source of considerable confusion . The Indian conversions were originally chambered for the . 410 Indian Musket cartridge , which is based on the . 303 British cartridge , and will not chamber the common . 410 shotgun cartridge . Many of these muskets were rechambered , after being sold as surplus , and can now be used with commercially available ammunition . Unmodified muskets require handloading of ammunition , as the . 410 Indian Musket cartridge was not commercially distributed and does not appear to have been manufactured since the 1950s . Numerous attempts have been made to convert the various single - shot . 410 shotgun models to a bolt - action repeating model by removing the wooden magazine plug and replacing it with a standard 10 - round SMLE magazine . None of these is known to have been successful , though some owners have adapted 3 - round magazines for Savage and Stevens shotguns to function in a converted SMLE shotgun , or even placing such a magazine inside a gutted SMLE magazine . Civilian conversions and variants ( edit ) From the late 1940s , legislation in New South Wales , Australia , heavily restricted . 303 British calibre ( and other `` military calibre '' ) rifles , so large numbers of SMLEs were converted to `` wildcat '' calibres such as . 303 / 25 , . 303 / 22 , . 303 / 270 and the popular 7.7 × 54mm round . 303 / 25 calibre sporterised SMLEs are very common in Australia today , although ammunition for them has been very scarce since the 1980s . The restrictions placed on `` military calibre '' rifles in New South Wales were lifted in 1975 , and many people who had converted their Lee -- Enfields to the `` wildcat '' rounds converted their rifles back to . 303 British . Post-Second World War , SAF Lithgow converted a number of SMLE rifles to commercial sporting rifles - notably the . 22 Hornet model - under the `` Slazenger '' brand . In the early 1950s Essential Agencies Ltd . ( E.A.L. ) , of Toronto , Ontario , produced a run of several thousand survival rifles based on the No. 4 action , but lightened and shortened , chambered in . 303 British . Serial numbers below 6000 were for civilian sale , serial numbers 6000 and higher were built under contract to the Canadian government . The Royal Canadian Air Force also used these as a survival rifle in the remote parts of Canada . L59A1 Drill rifle ( 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 L59A1 was a conversion of the No4 Rifle ( all Marks ) to a Drill Purpose Rifle that was incapable of being restored to a firing configuration . It was introduced in service in the 1970s . A conversion specification of No. 1 rifles to L59A2 Drill Purpose was also prepared but was abandoned due to the greater difficulty of machining involved and the negligible numbers still in the hands of cadet units . The L59A1 arose from British government concerns over the vulnerability of Army Cadet Force and school Combined Cadet Forces ' ( CCF ) stocks of small arms to theft by terrorists , in particular the Irish Republican Army following raids on CCF armouries in the 1950s and 1960s . Previous conversions to Drill Purpose ( DP ) of otherwise serviceable rifles were not considered to be sufficiently incapable of restoration to fireable state and were a potential source of reconversion spares . L59A1 Drill Rifles were rendered incapable of being fired , and of being restored to a fireable form , by extensive modifications that included the welding of the barrel to the receiver , modifications to the receiver that removed the supporting structures for the bolt 's locking lugs and blocking the installation of an unaltered bolt , the removal of the striker 's tip , the blocking of the striker 's hole in the bolt head and the removal of most of the bolt body 's locking lugs . Most bolts were copper plated for identification . A plug was welded in place forward of the chamber , and a window was cut in the side of the barrel . The stock and fore end was marked with broad white painted bands and the letters `` DP '' for easy identification . Special service Lee -- Enfields : Commando and Automatic models ( edit ) Charlton Automatic rifles ( edit ) Main article : Charlton Automatic Rifle Charlton Automatic Rifle . Small numbers of Lee -- Enfield rifles were built as , or converted to , experimental automatic loading systems , such as the British Howell and South African Rieder and the best - known of which was the Charlton Automatic Rifle , designed by a New Zealander , Philip Charlton in 1941 to act as a substitute for the Bren and Lewis gun light machine guns which were in chronically short supply at the time . During the Second World War , the majority of New Zealand 's land forces were deployed in North Africa . When Japan entered the war in 1941 , New Zealand found itself lacking the light machine guns that would be required for local defence should Japan choose to invade , and so the New Zealand Government funded the development of self - loading conversions for the Lee -- Enfield rifle . The end result was the Charlton Automatic Rifle ( based on the obsolete MLE ) , which was issued to Home Guard units in NZ from 1942 . Over 1,500 conversions were made , including a handful by Electrolux using Lithgow SMLE Mk III * rifles . The two Charlton designs differed markedly in external appearance ( amongst other things , the New Zealand Charlton had a forward pistol grip and bipod , whilst the Australian one did not ) , but shared the same operating mechanism . Most of the Charlton Automatic Rifles were destroyed in a fire after the Second World War , but a few examples survive in museums and private collections . De Lisle Commando Carbine ( edit ) Main article : De Lisle carbine The initial wooden - stocked De Lisle with a fitted suppressor . The Commando units of the British military requested a suppressed rifle for killing sentries , guard dogs and other clandestine operational uses during the Second World War . The resulting weapon , designed by W.G. De Lisle , was effectively an SMLE Mk III * receiver redesigned to take a . 45 ACP cartridge and associated magazine , with a barrel from a Thompson submachine gun and an integral suppressor . It was produced in very limited numbers and an experimental folding stock version was made . Ekins Automatic rifle ( edit ) The Ekins Automatic Rifle was one of the numerous attempts to convert a Lee -- Enfield SMLE to an automatic rifle . Similar developments were the South African Rieder and Charlton of Australian / New Zealand origin . Howard Francis Carbine ( edit ) Howard Francis Self - Loading Carbine Type Carbine Place of origin United Kingdom Production history Designer Howard Francis Specifications Weight 3.7 kg ( 8.2 lb ) Length 812 mm ( 32.0 in ) Barrel length 324 mm ( 12.8 in ) Cartridge 7.63 × 25mm Mauser Rate of fire Semi-automatic Feed system 12 - round box magazine Sights Iron sights The Howard Francis Self - Loading Carbine was a conversion of a No. 1 Mk III to the 7.63 × 25mm Mauser pistol cartridge . It fired in semi-automatic only and suffered some feeding and extraction problems and , despite meeting accuracy and soundness of design concept , never made it past the prototype stage . Howell Automatic rifle ( edit ) Main article : Howell Automatic Rifle The Howell Automatic Rifle was the first attempt to convert the Lee -- Enfield SMLE into a semi-automatic rifle . The weapon was reliable but unergonomic for the user as the force of the recoiling bolt interfered with handling . The Howell Automatic Rifle was used by the British Home Guard as an anti-aircraft weapon . Rieder Automatic rifle ( edit ) Main article : Rieder Automatic Rifle The Rieder Automatic Rifle was an automatic ( full automatic only ) Lee -- Enfield SMLE rifle of South African origin . The Rieder device could be installed straight away without the use of tools . Conversion to 7.62 × 51mm NATO ( edit ) During the 1960s , the British Government and the Ministry of Defence converted a number of Lee -- Enfield No. 4 rifles to 7.62 × 51mm NATO as part of a programme to retain the Lee -- Enfield as a reserve weapon . The Lee -- Enfield No. 4 series rifles that were converted to 7.62 × 51mm NATO were re-designated as the L8 series of rifles with the rifles being refitted with 7.62 × 51mm NATO barrels , new bolt faces and extractor claws , new rear sights and new 10 - round 7.62 × 51mm NATO magazines that were produced by RSAF Enfield to replace the old 10 - round . 303 British magazines . The appearance of the L8 series rifles were no different from the original No. 4 rifles , except for the new barrel ( which still retained the original No. 4 rifle bayonet lugs ) and magazine . The L8 series of rifles consisted of L8A1 rifles ( converted No. 4 Mk2 rifles ) , L8A2 rifles ( converted No. 4 Mk1 / 2 rifles ) , L8A3 rifles ( converted No. 4 Mk1 / 3 rifles ) , L8A4 rifles ( converted No. 4 Mk1 rifles ) , and L8A5 rifles ( converted No. 4 Mk1 * rifles ) . Sterling Armaments of Dagenham , Essex produced a conversion kit comprising a new 7.62 mm barrel , magazine , extractor and ejector for commercial sale . The main difference between the two conversions was in the cartridge ejection arrangement ; the Enfield magazine carried a hardened steel projection that struck the rim of the extracted case to eject it , the Sterling system employed a spring - loaded plunger inserted into the receiver wall . The results of the trials that were conducted on the L8 series rifles were mixed and the British Government and the Ministry of Defence decided not to convert their existing stocks of Lee -- Enfield No. 4 rifles to 7.62 × 51mm NATO . Despite this , the British learned from the results of the L8 test program and used them in successfully converting their stocks of No. 4 ( T ) sniper rifles to 7.62 × 51mm NATO , which led to the creation of the L42A1 series sniper rifles . In the late 1960s , RSAF Enfield entered the commercial market by producing No. 4 - based 7.62 × 51mm rifles for sale . The products were marketed under alliterative names e.g. Enfield Envoy , a rifle intended for civilian competition target shooting and Enfield Enforcer , a rifle fitted with a Pecar telescopic sight to suit the requirements of police firearms teams . Ishapore 2A / 2A1 ( edit ) Main article : Ishapore 2A1 rifle Ishapore 2A1 . At some point just after the Sino - Indian War of 1962 , the Ishapore Rifle Factory in India began producing a new type of rifle known as the Rifle 7.62 mm 2A , which was based on the SMLE Mk III * and was slightly redesigned to use the 7.62 × 51mm NATO round . Externally the new rifle is very similar to the classic Mk III * , with the exception of the buttplate ( the buttplate from the 1A SLR is fitted ) and magazine , which is more `` square '' than the SMLE magazine , and usually carries twelve rounds instead of ten , although a number of 2A1s have been noted with 10 - round magazines . Ishapore 2A and Ishapore 2A1 receivers are made with improved ( EN ) steel ( to handle the increased pressures of the 7.62 × 51mm round ) and the extractor is redesigned to suit the rimless cartridge . From 1965 -- 1975 ( when production is believed to have been discontinued ) , the sight ranging graduations were changed from 2000 to 800 , and the rifle re-designated Rifle 7.62 mm 2A1 . The original 2,000 yards ( 1,800 m ) rear sight arm was found to be suitable for the ballistics of the 7.62 × 51mm , which is around 10 % more powerful and equates to a flatter trajectory than that of the . 303 British MkVII ammunition , so it was a simple matter to think of the ' 2000 ' as representing metres rather than yards . It was then decided that the limit of the effective range was a more realistic proposition at 800 m . The Ishapore 2A and 2A1 rifles are often incorrectly described as ``. 308 conversions '' . The 2A / 2A1 rifles are not conversions of . 303 calibre SMLE Mk III * rifles . Rather , they are newly manufactured firearms and are not technically chambered for commercial . 308 Winchester ammunition . However , many 2A / 2A1 owners shoot such ammunition in their rifles with no problems , although it should be noted that some factory loaded . 308 Winchester cartridges may appear to generate higher pressures than 7.62 × 51mm NATO , even though the rounds are otherwise interchangeable -- this is due to the different systems of pressure measurement used for NATO and commercial cartridges . Production and manufacturers ( edit ) In total , over 16 million Lee -- Enfields had been produced in several factories on different continents when production in Britain shut down in 1956 , at the Royal Ordnance Factory ROF Fazakerley in Liverpool after that factory had been plagued with industrial unrest . The machinery from ROF Fazakerley was sold to Pakistan Ordnance Factories ( POF ) in Rawalpindi where production and repair of the No. 4 rifle was continued . Also contributing to the total was the Rifle Factory Ishapore ( RFI ) at Ishapore in India , which continued to produce the SMLE in both . 303 and 7.62 × 51mm NATO until the 1980s , and is still manufacturing a sporting rifle based on the SMLE Mk III action , chambered for a . 315 calibre cartridge the Birmingham Small Arms Company factory at Shirley near Birmingham , and SAF Lithgow in Australia , who finally discontinued production of the SMLE Mk III * with a final ' machinery proving ' batch of 1000 rifles in early 1956 , using 1953 - dated receivers . During the First World War alone , 3.8 million SMLE rifles were produced in the UK by RSAF Enfield , BSA , and LSA . The wristguard markings on a 1918 - dated Short Magazine Lee -- Enfield Mk III * rifle manufactured by the London Small Arms Co. Ltd . The `` G.R. '' under the crown stands for `` George Rex '' and refers to the reigning monarch at the time the rifle was manufactured . List of manufacturers ( edit ) The manufacturer 's names found on the MLE , CLLE , and SMLE Mk I -- Mk III * rifles and variants are : Marking Manufacturer Country Enfield Royal Small Arms Factory Enfield United Kingdom Sparkbrook Royal Small Arms Factory Sparkbrook United Kingdom BSA Co The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited United Kingdom LSA Co London Small Arms Co. Ltd United Kingdom Lithgow Lithgow Small Arms Factory Australia GRI Ishapore Rifle Factory British India RFI Ishapore Rifle Factory India ( Post-Independence ) Note 1 : `` SSA '' and `` NRF '' markings are sometimes encountered on First World War - dated SMLE Mk III * rifles . These stand for `` Standard Small Arms '' and `` National Rifle Factory '' , respectively . Rifles so marked were assembled using parts from various other manufacturers , as part of a scheme during the First World War to boost rifle production in the UK . Only SMLE Mk III * rifles are known to have been assembled under this program . Note 2 : GRI stands for `` Georgius Rex , Imperator '' ( Latin for `` King George , Emperor ( of India ) '' , denoting a rifle made during the British Raj . RFI stands for `` Rifle Factory , Ishapore '' , denoting a rifle made after the Partition of India in 1947 .

For example , BSA Shirley is denoted by M47C , ROF ( M ) is often simply stamped `` M '' , and BSA is simply stamped `` B '' . Note 2 : Savage - made Lee -- Enfield No. 4 Mk I and No. 4 Mk I * rifles are all stamped `` US PROPERTY '' . They were supplied to the UK under the Lend - Lease programme during the Second World War . No Savage Lee -- Enfields were ever issued to the US military ; the markings existed solely to maintain the pretence that American equipment was being lent to the UK rather than permanently sold to them . Australian International Arms No. 4 Mk IV ( edit ) AIA M10 - B2 Match Rifle The Brisbane - based Australian International Arms also manufactured a modern reproduction of the No. 4 Mk II rifle , which they marketed as the AIA No. 4 Mk IV . The rifles were manufactured by parts outsourcing and were assembled and finished in Australia , chambered in 7.62 × 51mm NATO and fed from modified M14 magazines . The No. 4 Mk IV was designed with the modern shooter in mind , and has the ability to mount a telescopic sight without drilling and tapping the receiver . AIA also offered the AIA M10 - A1 rifle , a Jungle Carbine - styled version chambered in 7.62 × 39mm Russian , which uses AK - 47 magazines . Magazine supply / importation ( M14 and AK 10 single stack mag ) whilst legal in Australia , it has been spasmodically curtailed by Australian Federal Customs ( for more information , see Gun politics in Australia ) . It is possible to obtain a 10 - round ( the maximum allowed by law ) M14 magazines for the M10 - B2 match rifles in particular , provided an import permit from the appropriate Licensing Services Division can be obtained in some States , yet Australian Federal Customs may still refuse importation on no valid grounds . Khyber Pass Copies ( edit ) A number of British Service Rifles , predominantly the Martini -- Henry and Martini -- Enfield , but also the various Lee -- Enfield rifles , have been produced by small manufacturers in the Khyber Pass region of the Pakistani / Afghan border . `` Khyber Pass Copies '' , as they are known , tend to be copied exactly from a `` master '' rifle , which may itself be a Khyber Pass Copy , markings and all , which is why it 's not uncommon to see Khyber Pass rifles with the `` N '' in `` Enfield '' reversed , amongst other things . The quality on such rifles varies from `` as good as a factory - produced example '' to `` dangerously unsafe '' , tending towards the latter end of the scale . Khyber Pass Copy rifles can not generally stand up to the pressures generated by modern commercial ammunition , and are generally considered unsafe to fire under any circumstances . Khyber Pass Copies can be recognised by a number of factors , notably : Spelling errors in the markings ; as noted the most common of which is a reversed `` N '' in `` Enfield '' ) V.R. ( Victoria Regina ) cyphers dated after 1901 ; Queen Victoria died in 1901 , so any rifles made after 1901 should be stamped `` E.R '' ( Edwardius Rex -- King Edward VII or King Edward VIII ) or `` G.R '' ( Georgius Rex -- King George V or King George VI ) . Generally inferior workmanship , including weak / soft metal , poorly finished wood , and badly struck markings . Armalon ( edit ) British company Armalon Ltd developed a number of rifles based on the Lee Enfield No 4 . The PC Gallery Rifle is a carbine in pistol and revolver calibres , the AL42 a 5.56 mm rifle and the AL30C , a carbine in . 30 Carbine . The Lee -- Enfield in military / Police use today ( edit ) An Afghan mujahid carries a Lee -- Enfield in August 1985 Canadian Rangers , photographed in Nunavut , June 2011 The Lee -- Enfield family of rifles is the second oldest bolt - action rifle design still in official service , after the Mosin -- Nagant. Lee -- Enfield rifles are used by reserve forces and police forces in many Commonwealth countries , including Malawi . In Canada the . 303 '' and . 22 '' models are being phased out ( 2016 ) . Indian police officers carrying SMLE Mk III * and Ishapore 2A1 rifles were a familiar sight throughout railway stations in India after Mumbai train bombings of 2006 and the November 2008 Mumbai attacks . They are also still seen in the hands of Pakistani and Bangladeshi second - line and police units . However , the Lee -- Enfield was mainly replaced in main - line service in the Pakistani Police in the mid-1980s by the AK 47 , in response to increasing proliferation of the Kalashnikov in the black market and civilian use . In Jordan , the Lee -- Enfield was in use with the Police and Gendarmerie until 1971 , and with the Armed Forces until 1965 . In Iraq and Egypt , the Lee -- Enfield was replaced by the Kalashnikov as the standard issue rifle in the Armed Forces by the late 1950s , and in Police Forces by the late 1970s . In the UK , the single - shot . 22 calibre Rifle No. 8 is in regular use with UK Cadet Forces as a light target rifle . Enfields continue to be used as drill weapons by the National Ceremonial Guard of the South African National Defence Force ( SANDF ) . Many Afghan participants in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan were armed with Lee -- Enfields . The CIA 's Operation Cyclone provided hundreds of thousands of Enfields to the Mujahideen , funneling them through Pakistan 's ISI . CIA officer Gust Avrakotos later arranged for the Egyptian Ministry of Defence to set up production lines of Enfield . 303 ammunition specifically for the conflict . Later on when Avrakotos asked Michael Vickers to revamp their strategy , he stopped the Enfield system and , with the large amounts of money available thanks to Charlie Wilson , replaced them with a mix of modern weapons like AK - 47s and mortars . An SMLE owned by Maoist rebels in Nepal , 2005 . Khyber Pass Copies patterned after the Lee -- Enfield are still manufactured in the Khyber Pass region , as bolt - action rifles remain effective weapons in desert and mountain environments where long - range accuracy is more important than rate of fire . Lee -- Enfield rifles are still popular in the region , despite the presence and ready availability of more modern weapons such as the SKS - 45 , the AKM , the Chinese Type 56 assault rifle , and the AK - 74 . As of 2012 , Lee -- Enfield rifles ( along with Mosin -- Nagants ) are still being used by the Taliban insurgents against NATO / Allied forces in Afghanistan . Photos from the recent civil war in Nepal showed that the government troops were being issued SMLE Mk III / III * rifles to fight the Maoist rebels , and that the Maoists were also armed with SMLE rifles , amongst other weapons . Police in Kathmandu may also be seen equipped with SMLE rifles . Lee -- Enfield rifles have also been seen in the hands of both the Naxalites and the Indian police in the ongoing Maoist insurgency in rural India . Police forces in both the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu continue to operate and maintain stocks of SMLE Mk IVs . The Tongan security forces also retain a substantial number of Mk IVs donated from New Zealand 's reserve stocks . The Lee -- Enfield in civilian use ( edit ) Lee -- Enfields are very popular as hunting rifles and target shooting rifles . Many surplus Lee -- Enfield rifles were sold in Australia , Canada , New Zealand , South Africa , the United Kingdom and the United States after the Second World War , and a fair number have been ' sporterised ' , having had the front furniture reduced or removed and a scope fitted so that they resemble a bolt - action sporting rifle . Top - notch accuracy is difficult to achieve with the Lee -- Enfield design , as it was intended to be a battle rifle rather than a sharpshooter 's weapon , and thus the Enfield is nowadays overshadowed by derivatives of Paul Mauser 's design as a target shooting arm . They did , however , continue to be used at Bisley up into the 1970s with some success , and continue to perform extremely well at Military Service Rifle Competitions throughout the world . Many people still hunt with as - issued Lee -- Enfield rifles , with commercial . 303 British ammunition proving especially effective on medium - sized game . Soft - point . 303 ammunition is widely available for hunting purposes , though the Mark 7 military cartridge design often proves adequate because its tail - heavy design makes the bullet yaw violently and deform after hitting the target . The Lee -- Enfield rifle is a popular gun for historic rifle enthusiasts and those who find the 10 - round magazine , loading by charger clips , and the rapid bolt - action useful for Practical Rifle events . Since formation in 1998 , organisations such as the Lee Enfield Rifle Association have assisted in not just preserving rifles in shooting condition ( many Lee -- Enfields are being deactivated and sold as `` wall - hangers '' to collectors who do not hold a Firearms Licence in countries where they are required ) , but holding events and competitions. Lee -- Enfields are also popular with competitors in service rifle competitions in many Commonwealth countries . The Lee -- Enfield series is very popular for service rifle shooting competitions in the UK and Australia due to the prohibitions on the legal ownership of semi-automatic centrefire rifles in Great Britain and restrictions on the legal ownership of semi-automatic centrefire rifles in Australia . ( For more information see Gun politics in the United Kingdom and Gun politics in Australia . ) Rhineland Arms produces . 45 ACP conversion kits for the Lee -- Enfield action using M1911 pistol magazines . The Lee - Speed Sporter was a higher quality British made version of the Lee -- Enfield . Users ( edit ) Turkish 8 × 57mm conversion of a Lee -- Enfield captured during World War I .

"A redesign of the Lee–Metford (adopted by the British Army in 1888), the Lee–Enfield superseded the earlier Martini–Henry, Martini–Enfield, and Lee–Metford rifles. It featured a ten-round box magazine which was loaded with the .303 British cartridge manually from the top, either one round at a time or by means of five-round chargers. The Lee–Enfield was the standard issue weapon to rifle companies of the British Army and other Commonwealth nations in both the First and Second World Wars (these Commonwealth nations included Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India and South Africa, among others).[5] Although officially replaced in the UK with the L1A1 SLR in 1957, it remained in widespread British service until the early/mid-1960s and the 7.62 mm L42 sniper variant remained in service until the 1990s. As a standard-issue infantry rifle, it is still found in service in the armed forces of some Commonwealth nations,[6] notably with the Bangladesh Police, which makes it the second longest-serving military bolt-action rifle still in official service, after the Mosin–Nagant.[7] The Canadian Rangers unit still use Enfield rifles, with plans to replace the weapons sometime in 2017–2018 with the new Sako-designed Colt C-19.[8] Total production of all Lee–Enfields is estimated at over 17 million rifles.[1]"

But Elliot has new emotions about his marriage and feels reluctant to marry Giselle . Mr. Weenie ( Cody Cameron ) finds a dog biscuit trail that his previous owners left behind and uncontrollably follows it . At the climax of the wedding , Elliot witnesses Mr. Weenie being taken away by his old owners , Bob and Bobbie ( Georgia Engel ) .

1911817556477207574 | Appointment and confirmation to the Supreme Court of the United States | Appointment and confirmation to the Supreme Court of the United States - wikipedia Appointment and confirmation to the Supreme Court of the United States Jump to : navigation , search The appointment and confirmation of Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States involves several steps set forth by the United States Constitution , which have been further refined and developed by decades of tradition . Candidates are nominated by the President of the United States and must face a series of hearings in which both the nominee and other witnesses make statements and answer questions before the Senate Judiciary Committee , which can vote to send the nomination to the full United States Senate . Confirmation by the Senate allows the President to formally appoint the candidate to the court . Contents ( hide ) 1 Nomination 2 Confirmation 3 Recess appointments 4 Tenure and vacancies 5 References Nomination ( edit ) Article Two of the United States Constitution requires the President of the United States to nominate Supreme Court Justices and , with Senate confirmation , requires Justices to be appointed . This was for the division of power between the President and Senate by the founders , who wrote : he shall nominate , and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate , shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court ... Upon the election of a new President , incoming White House staff prepare profiles of possible candidates for the Supreme Court , considering not only judges but also politicians and other individuals whom they consider appropriate for the role . Besides considering national figures whose views are well - known , they consider others who are less recognized . They go through published rulings , articles , speeches , and other background material to get an idea of candidates ' values and views on constitutional issues . Age , health , race , gender , and likelihood of confirmation are also factored into considerations . Once a Supreme Court vacancy opens , the President discusses the candidates with advisors . Senators also call the President with suggestions . After a first choice is decided , the candidate is contacted and called on by the President to serve on the highest court . Staffers send a vetting form for the candidate to fill out . They visit the candidate to go over tax records and payments to domestic help . Candidates whom the President has never met are interviewed by White House officials before being sent to the White House to be interviewed in person by the President . After making a final decision , the President calls the candidate , who is told to prepare a statement for an appearance in front of the national press for the President 's formal announcement . Most Presidents nominate individuals who broadly share their ideological views . In many cases , however , a Justice 's decisions may be contrary to what the nominating President anticipated . A famous instance was Chief Justice Earl Warren ; President Dwight D. Eisenhower expected him to be a conservative judge , but his decisions are arguably among the most liberal in the Court 's history . Eisenhower later called the appointment `` the biggest damn fool mistake I ever made '' . Another Justice whose decisions ran contrary to what was believed to be his ideology was David Souter , who was nominated to the high court in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush . Many pundits and politicians at the time expected Souter to be a conservative ; however , after becoming a Justice , his opinions generally fell on the liberal side of the political spectrum . Because the Constitution does not set any qualifications for service as a Justice , the President may nominate any individual to serve on the Court . However , that person must receive the confirmation of the Senate . Confirmation ( edit ) In modern times , the confirmation process has attracted considerable attention from special - interest groups , many of which lobby senators to confirm or to reject a nominee , depending on whether the nominee 's track record aligns with the group 's views . The Senate Judiciary Committee conducts hearings , questioning nominees to determine their suitability . By convention , nominees avoid revealing too much about their views on potential cases that may come before the Court . At the close of confirmation hearings , the Committee votes on whether the nomination should go to the full Senate with a positive , negative or neutral report . The Roberts Court ( April 2017 - present ) . Front row ( left to right ) : Ruth Bader Ginsburg , Anthony Kennedy , John Roberts ( Chief Justice ) , Clarence Thomas , and Stephen Breyer . Back row ( left to right ) : Elena Kagan , Samuel A. Alito , Sonia Sotomayor , and Neil Gorsuch . The Committee 's practice of personally interviewing nominees is relatively recent , beginning with Harlan Fiske Stone in 1925 . Some western senators were concerned with his links to Wall Street and expressed their opposition when Stone was nominated . Stone proposed what was then the novelty of appearing before the Judiciary Committee to answer questions ; his testimony helped secure a confirmation vote with very little opposition . The second nominee to appear before the Committee was Felix Frankfurter , who only addressed ( at the Committee 's request ) what he considered to be slanderous allegations against him . The modern practice of the Committee questioning nominees on their judicial views began with the nomination of John Marshall Harlan II in 1955 ; the nomination came shortly after the Court handed down the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision , and several Southern senators attempted to block Harlan 's confirmation , hence the decision to testify . Once the Committee reports out the nomination , the whole Senate considers it . A simple majority vote is required to confirm or to reject a nominee . Prior to 2017 , a successful filibuster threat could add the requirement of a supermajority of 60 needed in favor of cloture , which would allow debate to end and force a final vote on confirmation . Rejections are relatively uncommon ; the Senate has explicitly rejected twelve Supreme Court nominees in its history . The most recent rejection of a nominee by vote of the full Senate came in 1987 , when the Senate refused to confirm Robert Bork . Not everyone nominated by the President has received a floor vote in the Senate . Prior to 2017 a nominee could be filibustered once debate on the nomination had begun in the full Senate . A filibuster indefinitely prolongs the debate , preventing a final vote on the nominee . President Lyndon Johnson 's nomination of sitting Associate Justice Abe Fortas to succeed Earl Warren as Chief Justice in 1968 was the first successful filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee . It included both Republican and Democratic senators concerned with Fortas 's ethics . President Donald Trump 's nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the seat vacated by Antonin Scalia was the second . Unlike the Fortas filibuster , however , only Democratic Senators voted against cloture on the Gorsuch nomination , citing his perceived conservative judicial philosophy , and the Republican majority 's prior refusal to take up Obama 's nomination of Merrick Garland to fill the vacancy . This led the Republican majority to change the rules and eliminate the filibuster for Supreme Court nominations . Not every Supreme Court nominee has received a floor vote in the Senate . A president may withdraw a nomination before an actual confirmation vote occurs , typically because it is clear that the Senate will reject the nominee ; this occurred most recently with the nomination of Harriet Miers in 2006 before Committee hearings had begun , citing concerns about Senate requests during her confirmation process for access to internal Executive Branch documents resulting from her position as White House Counsel . In 1987 , President Ronald Reagan withdrew the nomination of Douglas H. Ginsburg because of news reports containing marijuana use allegations . The Senate may also fail to act on the nomination , which expires at the end of the session . For example , President Dwight Eisenhower 's first nomination of John Marshall Harlan II in November 1954 was not acted on by the Senate ; Eisenhower re-nominated Harlan in January 1955 , and Harlan was confirmed two months later . Most recently , the Senate failed to act on President Barack Obama 's nomination of Merrick Garland in March 2016 to fill the vacancy left by the death of Antonin Scalia ; the nomination expired in January 2017 , and the vacancy was later filled by President Trump 's appointment of Neil Gorsuch . Before 1981 the approval process of Justices was usually rapid . From the Truman through Nixon administrations , Justices were typically approved within one month . From the Reagan administration to the present , however , the process has taken much longer . According to the Congressional Research Service , the average number of days from nomination to final Senate vote since 1975 is 67 days ( 2.2 months ) , while the median is 71 days ( or 2.3 months ) . Some believe this is because Congress sees Justices as playing a more political role than in the past . The perceived politicization of the process has drawn criticism . For example , columnist George F. Will termed the defeat of Robert Bork 's nomination `` unjust '' and , more generally , that the nomination process does `` not delve deeply into the nominee 's jurisprudential thinking . '' Supreme Court nominations have caused media speculation about whether the judge leans to the left , middle , or right . One indication of the politicized selection process is how much time each nominee spends being questioned under the glare of media coverage ; before 1925 , nominees were never questioned ; after 1955 , every nominee has been required to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee and answer questions ; and the hours spent being grilled have lengthened from single digits ( before 1980 ) to double digits today . Another example of the politicization of the process was the Merrick Garland Supreme Court nomination , which remained before the Senate far longer than any other nominee . Following is a table of the approximate number of hours that media sources estimate were spent on the questioning of Supreme Court nominees since 1925 : Year Nominee # Hours 1925 Harlan Fiske Stone 7000500000000000000 ♠ 5 1938 Felix Frankfurter -- 1955 John Marshall Harlan II -- 1957 William J.

The President then prepares and signs a commission , and causes the Seal of the United States Department of Justice to be affixed to the document before the new Justice can take office . The date of commission determines a Justice 's seniority . A ceremony is held in which the Justice must take the Constitutional Oath , which is used for every federal and state officeholder below the President , and the Judicial Oath used for federal judges before entering into the execution of their office . Recess appointments ( edit ) Potter Stewart , appointed by President Dwight Eisenhower , was the last Supreme Court Justice initially placed on the Court through a recess appointment . Article II , Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution provides that : The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate , by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session . Thus , when the Senate is in recess , the President may make a temporary appointment to any office requiring Senate approval , including filling vacancies on the Supreme Court , without the Senate 's advice and consent . Such a recess appointee to the Supreme Court holds office only until the end of the next Senate session ( always less than two years ) . To continue to serve thereafter and be compensated for his or her service , the nominee must be formally nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate . Of the ten Justices who have received recess appointments - two Chief Justices and eight Associate Justices - only Chief Justice John Rutledge was not subsequently confirmed for a regular appointment . No president since Dwight Eisenhower ( who made three such appointments ) has made a recess appointment to the Supreme Court and the practice has become highly controversial even when applied to lower federal courts . During the 110th Congress , the Democratic leadership of the Senate specifically blocked Republican President George W. Bush from making any recess appointments with the use of pro forma sessions . In 1960 the Senate passed a resolution stating that it was the sense of the Senate that recess appointments to the Supreme Court should not be made except under unusual circumstances . Being a resolution , it has no legally binding effect , but was intended as an expression of the position of the Senate and as a guide to executive actions . The resolution passed by a vote of 48 to 37 , mainly along party lines .

The Constitution provides that justices `` shall hold their offices during good behavior '' ( unless appointed during a Senate recess ) . The term `` good behavior '' is well understood to mean Justices may serve for the remainder of their lives , although they can voluntarily resign or retire . A Justice can also be removed by Congressional impeachment and conviction . However , only one Justice has been impeached by the House ( Samuel Chase , in 1805 ) and he was acquitted in the Senate . Moves to impeach sitting justices have occurred more recently ( for example , William O. Douglas was the subject of hearings twice , once in 1953 and again in 1970 ) , but they have not reached a vote in the House . No mechanism presently exists for removing a Justice who is permanently incapacitated by illness or injury , both unable to resign and unable to resume service . Because Justices have indefinite tenure , it is impossible to know when a vacancy will next occur . Sometimes vacancies arise in quick succession , as in the early 1970s when Lewis Franklin Powell , Jr. and William H. Rehnquist were nominated to replace Hugo Black and John Marshall Harlan II , who retired within a week of each other . Sometimes a great length of time passes between nominations such as the eleven years between Stephen Breyer 's nomination in 1994 and the departures of Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor ( by death and retirement , respectively ) in 2005 and 2006 . It is also theoretically possible for Congress to create additional vacancies by expanding the Court itself . The United States Constitution does not specify the size of the Supreme Court , but in Article III it authorizes the Congress to fix the number of justices . The Judiciary Act of 1789 called for the appointment of six justices . As the country grew geographically , Congress increased the number of justices to correspond with the growing number of judicial circuits . In 1807 , the court was expanded to seven members , allowing Thomas Jefferson to appoint Thomas Todd as a new Justice . The expansion to nine members in 1837 allowed Andrew Jackson to appoint John Catron , and Martin Van Buren to appoint John McKinley ; and the addition of a tenth seat in 1863 allowed Abraham Lincoln to name Stephen Johnson Field to the Court . However , at the request of Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase , Congress passed the Judicial Circuits Act ( 1866 ) which provided that the next three justices to retire would not be replaced ; thus , the size of the Court should have eventually reached seven by attrition . Consequently , one seat was removed in 1866 and a second in 1867 . However , this law did not play out to completion , for in the Judiciary Act of 1869 , also known as the Circuit Judges Act , the number of justices was again set at nine , where it has since remained . The new seat created in 1869 was filled the following year by Ulysses S. Grant 's appointment of Joseph P. Bradley - the last justice to be appointed to a newly created seat on the Court . President Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to expand the Court in 1937 , seeking to appoint an additional justice for each incumbent justice who reached the age of 70 years 6 months and refused retirement ; under Roosevelt 's proposal , such appointments would continue until the Court reached a maximum size of 15 justices . Ostensibly , the proposal was made to ease the burdens of the docket on the elderly judges , but the President 's actual purpose was to pack the Court with justices who would support New Deal policies and legislation . This plan , usually called the `` Court - packing Plan '' , failed in Congress and proved a political disaster for Roosevelt . The balance of the Court shifted with the retirement of Willis Van Devanter and the confirmation of Hugo Black in August 1937 . By the end of 1941 , Roosevelt had appointed seven Supreme Court justices and elevated Harlan Fiske Stone to Chief Justice . Despite the variability , nearly all Presidents so far have been able to appoint at least one Justice . The four exceptions are William Henry Harrison , Zachary Taylor , Andrew Johnson , and Jimmy Carter . Harrison died a month after taking office , though his successor ( John Tyler ) made an appointment during that presidential term . Taylor likewise died early in his presidential term , although his successor ( Millard Fillmore ) also made a Supreme Court nomination before the end of that term . Johnson was denied the opportunity to appoint a Justice by a contraction in the size of the Supreme Court , which Congress may dictate . Jimmy Carter is the only President who completed at least one full term in office without making a nomination to the Court during his presidency .

"The appointment and confirmation of Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States involves several steps set forth by the United States Constitution, which have been further refined and developed by decades of tradition. Candidates are nominated by the President of the United States and must face a series of hearings in which both the nominee and other witnesses make statements and answer questions before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which can vote to send the nomination to the full United States Senate. Confirmation by the Senate allows the President to formally appoint the candidate to the court."

Rickman trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London , and was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company , performing in modern and classical theatre productions . His first big television part came in 1982 , but his big break was as the Vicomte de Valmont in the stage production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 1985 , for which he was nominated for a Tony Award . Rickman gained wider notice for his film performances as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Severus Snape in the Harry Potter film series . Rickman 's other film roles included the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves , for which he received the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role , Jamie in Truly , Madly , Deeply , Colonel Brandon in Ang Lee 's Sense and Sensibility , the title character in Rasputin : Dark Servant of Destiny , which won him a Golden Globe , an Emmy and a Screen Actors Guild Award , Harry in Love Actually , P.L.

Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Career 3 In the media 4 Personal life 5 Illness and death 6 Filmography 7 Awards and nominations 8 References 9 External links Early Life ( edit ) Rickman was born in West London on 21 February 1946 , to a working - class family , the son of Margaret Doreen Rose ( née Bartlett ) , a housewife , and Bernard William Rickman . Rickman 's father was a factory worker , house painter and decorator , and former World War II aircraft fitter . His ancestry was English , Irish and Welsh ; his father was Catholic and his mother a Methodist . Rickman 's family also included brothers David and Michael , and sister Sheila . When he was eight years old , Rickman 's father died of lung cancer , leaving his mother to raise him and his three siblings mostly alone . According to Paton , the family was `` rehoused by the council and moved to an Acton estate to the west of Wormwood Scrubs Prison , where his mother struggled to bring up four children on her own by working for the Post Office . '' She married again in 1960 , but divorced Rickman 's stepfather after three years . Before he met Rima Horton at 19 , he stated that his first crush was at 10 years old to a girl named Amanda `` at sports day . '' As a child , he excelled at calligraphy and watercolour painting . Rickman attended Derwentwater Primary School in Acton , a school that followed the Montessori method of education , and then Latymer Upper School in London through the Direct Grant system , where he became involved in drama . After leaving Latymer , he attended Chelsea College of Art and Design and then the Royal College of Art . This education allowed him to work as a graphic designer for the Royal College of Art 's in - house magazine , ARK and the Notting Hill Herald , which Rickman considered a more stable occupation than acting : `` Drama school was n't considered the sensible thing to do at 18 '' . After graduation , Rickman and several friends opened a graphic design studio called Graphiti , but after three years of successful business , he decided that he was going to pursue acting professionally . He wrote to request an audition with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art ( RADA ) , which he attended from 1972 until 1974 . While there , he supported himself by working as a dresser for Sir Nigel Hawthorne and Sir Ralph Richardson . Career ( edit ) Rickman in December 2009 After graduating from RADA , Rickman worked extensively with British repertory and experimental theatre groups in productions including Chekhov 's The Seagull and Snoo Wilson 's The Grass Widow at the Royal Court Theatre , and appeared three times at the Edinburgh International Festival . In 1978 , he performed with the Court Drama Group , gaining parts in Romeo and Juliet and A View from the Bridge , among other plays . While working with the Royal Shakespeare Company ( RSC ) , he was cast in As You Like It . He appeared in The Barchester Chronicles ( 1982 ) , the BBC 's adaptation of Trollope 's first two Barchester novels , as the Reverend Obadiah Slope . Rickman was given the male lead , the Vicomte de Valmont , in the 1985 Royal Shakespeare Company production of Christopher Hampton 's adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses , directed by Howard Davies . After the RSC production transferred to Broadway in 1987 , Rickman received both a Tony Award nomination and a Drama Desk Award nomination for his performance . Rickman 's played a wide range of roles . He played romantic leads including Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility ( 1995 ) and Jamie in Truly , Madly , Deeply ( 1991 ) ; numerous villains in Hollywood big - budget films , including German criminal Hans Gruber in Die Hard ( 1988 ) , Australian Elliot Marston opposite Tom Selleck in Quigley Down Under ( 1990 ) and the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves ( 1991 ) ; and the occasional television role such as Dr. Alfred Blalock in HBO 's Something the Lord Made and the `` mad monk '' Rasputin in the HBO biopic Rasputin : Dark Servant of Destiny ( 1996 ) , for which he won a Golden Globe and an Emmy . Rickman 's role as Hans Gruber in Die Hard earned him a spot on the AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Heroes & Villains list as the 46th best villain in film history , though he revealed he almost did not take the role as he did not think Die Hard was the kind of film he wanted to make . His performance as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves also earned him praise as one of the best actors to portray a villain in films . Rickman took issue with being typecast as a villain , even though he was known for playing `` unsympathetic characters '' . His portrayal of Severus Snape , the potions master in the Harry Potter series ( 2001 -- 2011 ) , was dark , but the character 's motivations were not clear early on . During his career Rickman played comedic roles , including as Sir Alexander Dane / Dr. Lazarus in the science fiction parody Galaxy Quest ( 1999 ) , the angel Metatron , the voice of God , in Dogma ( also 1999 ) , Emma Thompson 's foolish husband Harry in the British Christmas - themed romantic comedy Love Actually ( 2003 ) , providing the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android in The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy ( 2005 ) and playing the egotistical , Nobel Prize - winning father in Nobel Son ( 2007 ) . Rickman at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival Rickman was nominated for an Emmy for his work as Dr. Alfred Blalock in HBO 's Something the Lord Made ( 2004 ) . He also starred in the independent film Snow Cake ( 2006 ) with Sigourney Weaver and Carrie - Anne Moss , and Perfume : The Story of a Murderer ( also 2006 ) , directed by Tom Tykwer . He appeared as Judge Turpin in the critically acclaimed Tim Burton film Sweeney Todd : The Demon Barber of Fleet Street ( 2007 ) alongside Harry Potter co-stars Helena Bonham Carter and Timothy Spall . He provided the voice of Absolem the Caterpillar in Burton 's film Alice in Wonderland ( 2010 ) . Rickman performed onstage in Noël Coward 's romantic comedy Private Lives , which transferred to Broadway after its successful run in London at the Albery Theatre and ended in September 2002 ; he reunited with his Les Liaisons Dangereuses co-star Lindsay Duncan and director Howard Davies in the Tony Award - winning production . Rickman 's previous stage performance was in Antony and Cleopatra in 1998 as Mark Antony , with Helen Mirren as Cleopatra , in the Royal National Theatre 's production at the Olivier Theatre in London , which ran from October to December 1998 . Rickman appeared in Victoria Wood with All The Trimmings ( 2000 ) , a Christmas special with Victoria Wood , playing an aged colonel in the battle of Waterloo who is forced to break off his engagement to Honeysuckle Weeks ' character . Rickman directed The Winter Guest at London 's Almeida Theatre in 1995 and the film version of the same play , released in 1997 , starring Emma Thompson and her real - life mother Phyllida Law . With Katharine Viner , he compiled the play My Name Is Rachel Corrie and directed the premiere production at the Royal Court Theatre , which opened in April 2005 . He won the Theatre Goers ' Choice Awards for Best Director . Rickman befriended the Corrie family and earned their trust , and the show was warmly received . But the next year , its original New York production was `` postponed '' over the possibility of boycotts and protests from those who saw it as `` anti-Israeli agit - prop '' . Rickman denounced `` censorship born out of fear '' . Tony Kushner , Harold Pinter and Vanessa Redgrave , among others , criticised the decision to indefinitely delay the show . The one - woman play was put on later that year at another theatre to mixed reviews , and has since been staged at venues around the world . In 2009 , Rickman was awarded the James Joyce Award by University College Dublin 's Literary and Historical Society . In October and November 2010 , Rickman starred in the eponymous role in Henrik Ibsen 's John Gabriel Borkman at the Abbey Theatre , Dublin alongside Lindsay Duncan and Fiona Shaw . The Irish Independent called Rickman 's performance breathtaking . Rickman and Kate Winslet at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival Rickman again appeared as Severus Snape in the final instalment in the Harry Potter series , Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 ( 2011 ) . Throughout the series , his portrayal of Snape garnered widespread critical acclaim . Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said Rickman `` as always , makes the most lasting impression , '' while Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine called Rickman `` sublime at giving us a glimpse at last into the secret nurturing heart that ... Snape masks with a sneer . '' Media coverage characterised Rickman 's performance as worthy of nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor . His first award nominations for his role as Snape came at the 2011 Alliance of Women Film Journalists Awards , 2011 Saturn Awards , 2011 Scream Awards and 2011 St. Louis Gateway Film Critics Association Awards in the Best Supporting Actor category . In November 2011 , Rickman opened in Seminar , a new play by Theresa Rebeck , at the John Golden Theatre on Broadway . Rickman , who left the production in April , won the Broadway.com Audience Choice Award for Favorite Actor in a Play and was nominated for a Drama League Award . Rickman starred with Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz in Gambit ( 2012 ) by Michael Hoffman , a remake of the 1966 film . In 2013 , he played Hilly Kristal , the founder of the East Village punk - rock club CBGB , in the CBGB film with Rupert Grint . In the media ( edit ) Rickman posing for a fan after a performance of John Gabriel Borkman in 2011 Rickman was chosen by Empire as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history ( No. 34 ) in 1995 and ranked No. 59 in Empire 's `` The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time '' list in October 1997 . In 2009 and 2010 , Rickman was ranked once again as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars by Empire , both times placing No. 8 out of the 50 actors chosen . Rickman was elected to the Council of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art ( RADA ) in 1993 ; he was subsequently RADA 's vice-chairman and a member of its Artistic Advisory and Training committees and Development Board . Rickman was voted No. 19 in Empire magazine 's Greatest Living Movie Stars over the age of 50 and was twice nominated for Broadway 's Tony Award as Best Actor ( Play ) : in 1987 for Les Liaisons Dangereuses , and in 2002 for a revival of Noël Coward 's Private Lives . The Guardian named Rickman as an `` honourable mention '' in a list of the best actors never to have received an Academy Award nomination . Two researchers , a linguist and a sound engineer , found `` the perfect ( male ) voice '' to be a combination of Rickman 's and Jeremy Irons 's voices based on a sample of 50 voices . Rickman featured in several musical works , including a song composed by Adam Leonard entitled `` Not Alan Rickman '' . Credited as ' A Strolling Player ' in the sleeve notes , the actor played a `` Master of Ceremonies '' part , announcing the various instruments at the end of the first part of Mike Oldfield 's Tubular Bells II ( 1992 ) on the track `` The Bell '' . Rickman was one of the many artists who recited Shakespearian sonnets on the album When Love Speaks ( 2002 ) , and also featured prominently in a music video by Texas entitled `` In Demand '' , which premiered on Europe MTV in August 2000 . Personal Life ( edit ) In 1965 , at the age of 19 , Rickman met 18 - year - old Rima Horton , who became his girlfriend and would later be a Labour Party councillor on the Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council ( 1986 -- 2006 ) and an economics lecturer at the nearby Kingston University . In 2015 , Rickman confirmed that they had married in a private ceremony in New York City in 2012 . They lived together from 1977 to 2016 , the year Rickman died . The two had no children . Rickman was an active patron of the research foundation Saving Faces ; and honorary president of the International Performers ' Aid Trust , a charity that works to fight poverty amongst performing artists all over the world . When discussing politics , Rickman said he `` was born a card - carrying member of the Labour Party '' . Rickman was the godfather of fellow actor Tom Burke . Illness and death ( edit ) In August 2015 , Rickman suffered a minor stroke , which led to the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer . He concealed the fact that he had terminal cancer from all but his closest confidants . On 14 January 2016 , Rickman died in London at the age of 69 . Soon after , his fans created a memorial underneath the `` Platform 93⁄4 '' sign at London King 's Cross railway station . His death has been compared to that of David Bowie , a fellow English cultural figure who died at the same age as Rickman four days earlier , also due to an existing cancer that had been kept private . Tributes from Rickman 's co-stars and contemporaries appeared on social media following the announcement ; since his cancer was not publicly known , some -- like Ralph Fiennes , who `` can not believe he is gone '' , and Jason Isaacs , who was `` sidestepped by the awful news '' -- expressed their surprise . Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling called Rickman `` a magnificent actor and a wonderful man '' . Emma Watson wrote , `` I feel so lucky to have worked and spent time with such a special man and actor . I 'll really miss our conversations . '' Daniel Radcliffe appreciated his loyalty and support : `` I 'm pretty sure he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in Britain and America . He did n't have to do that . '' Evanna Lynch said it was scary to bump into Rickman in character as Snape , but `` he was so kind and generous in the moments he was n't Snaping about . '' Rupert Grint said , `` even though he has gone I will always hear his voice . '' Kate Winslet , who gave a tearful tribute at the London Film Critics ' Circle Awards , remembered Rickman as warm and generous , adding , `` And that voice ! Oh , that voice . '' Dame Helen Mirren said his voice `` could suggest honey or a hidden stiletto blade . '' Emma Thompson remembered `` the intransigence which made him the great artist he was -- his ineffable and cynical wit , the clarity with which he saw most things , including me ... I learned a lot from him . '' Colin Firth told The Hollywood Reporter that , as an actor , Rickman had been a mentor . John McTiernan , director of Die Hard , said Rickman was the antithesis of the villainous roles for which he was most famous on screen . Sir Ian McKellen wrote , `` behind ( Rickman 's ) mournful face , which was just as beautiful when wracked with mirth , there was a super-active spirit , questing and achieving , a super-hero , unassuming but deadly effective . '' Writer / Director Kevin Smith told a tearful 10 minute story about Rickman on his Hollywood Babble On podcast . Rickman 's family offered their thanks `` for the messages of condolence '' .

"Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman (21 February 1946 – 14 January 2016) was an English actor and director known for playing a variety of roles on stage and on screen. Rickman trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, performing in modern and classical theatre productions. His first big television part came in 1982, but his big break was as the Vicomte de Valmont in the stage production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 1985, for which he was nominated for a Tony Award. Rickman gained wider notice for his film performances as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Severus Snape in the Harry Potter film series.[1]"

-8160662786082328812 | Turtle Bay Resort | Turtle Bay resort - wikipedia Turtle Bay resort Jump to : navigation , search The neutrality of this article is disputed . Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page . Please do not remove this message until conditions to do so are met . ( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) View of resort from helicopter View from room 501 The Turtle Bay Resort is the major hotel on the North Shore of Oahu island in Hawaii . Contents ( hide ) 1 Description 2 History 3 Activities 4 References 5 External links Description ( edit ) The resort is about a 50 - minute drive from Honolulu , between Kahuku , Hawaii to the east and Kawela Bay , Hawaii to the west . The resort owns 858 acres ( 3.47 km2 ) of land with five miles of ocean front at Turtle Bay , and features 410 hotel rooms and suites , including the Premier Rooms on the 6th Floor ; 42 Beach Cottages that were refreshed in 2015 ; and manages numerous Ocean Villas , which are larger 2 - BR to 4 - BR units . The hotel recently unveiled a $45 million resort - wide , eco-sensitive renovation enhancing food and beverage operations , event staging and guest experiences . The hotel was built with three wings on a small peninsula which provides every room with an ocean view . The resort has a variety of restaurants , including Surfer The Bar , a partnership with Surfer Magazine , and The Point Sunset and Pool Bar . The resort also features The Guide Post , a new concept on the traditional hotel concierge , but more interactive and a key component of the Turtle Bay 's positioning as an experiential resort . Turtle Bay Resort sits just north of the Kuilima Estates condominium complexes along both of its golf courses , at 21 ° 42 ′ 19 '' N 157 ° 59 ′ 55 '' W . History ( edit ) Turtle Bay Resort opened in May 1972 as Del Webb 's Kuilima Resort Hotel and Country Club . In the Hawaiian language kui lima means `` joining hands '' . It was built by casino developer Del Webb ( 1899 -- 1974 ) to be the first casino on the island ; a gaming initiative was on the ballot in the mid-1970s but it did not pass . Hyatt took over the property until August 1983 when Hilton Hotels & Resorts took over . It was renamed `` Turtle Bay Golf and Tennis Resort '' -- early advertisements had to include a guide to pronunciation . A potential development deal with Starwood Hotels fell through in July 2007 . Although much expansion had been approved in 1985 , local opposition had developed against the plans . Governor Linda Lingle suggested the state buy the property in 2008 . The Trust for Public Land also tried to raise funds for the preservation effort . Two offers were made by the state in August and November 2008 that would have included surrounding open space , but they were not accepted . After a threat of foreclosure of investor Oaktree Capital Management from Credit Suisse , a new consortium of investors took over the resort in February 2010 . As of 2010 it was managed and operated by Benchmark Hospitality International . In December 2013 , the management of the resort was split between Replay Resorts , based in Vancouver , British Columbia and Benchmark Hospitality International . After four years of court battles , the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled in July 2010 that a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement must be filed for new development . The Resort , represented by Replay Resorts , released its Draft Supplemental Impact Statement on November 23 , 2012 with the Public Comment Period extended until January 18 , 2013 . Activities ( edit ) The resort is several miles away from surf spots including Waimea Bay , the Banzai Pipeline , and Sunset Beach . The two golf courses are named after designers Arnold Palmer and George Fazio . The Palmer Course was the site of the Turtle Bay Championship , a PGA Champions Tour Event held from 2001 through 2008 , and the Fazio Course has hosted the LPGA Tour 's Hawaiian Open . The runways of the World War II era Kahuku Army Airfield have been absorbed into the fairways of the golf courses . The James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge preserves a small pond adjacent to a golf course . In 1999 , the resort hosted the final Big Mele , a rock festival that had been held for the previous six years at Kualoa Ranch . Films and TV shows have been filmed on or near the Turtle Bay Resort . The hotel has been the setting for episodes of Hawaii 5 - 0 , Magnum P.I. , Full House , Cougar Town and the short - lived Fox TV series North Shore . The resort featured as the setting for the reunion - movie Baywatch : Hawaiian Wedding and for the 2008 film Forgetting Sarah Marshall . Preserving the undeveloped setting for film locations was one reason given by opponents to the expansion . The Hills cast have filmed at the Turtle Bay resort in Season 5 .

It came into being on 31 May 1910 with the unification of four previously separate British colonies : the Cape , Natal , Transvaal and Orange River colonies . It included the territories formerly part of the Boer republics annexed in 1902 , the South African Republic and the Orange Free State . Following the First World War , the Union of South Africa was granted the administration of South West Africa ( formerly a German colony and today the sovereign state of Namibia ) as a League of Nations mandate , which became treated in most respects as if it were another province of the Union , but never was formally annexed . The Union of South Africa was a dominion of the British Empire , and became sovereign on 11 December 1931 . It was governed under a form of constitutional monarchy , with the Crown represented by a governor - general . The Union came to an end with the enactment of a new constitution on 31 May 1961 , by which it became a republic and left the Commonwealth , under the new name Republic of South Africa .

A bicameral parliament was created , consisting of a House of Assembly and Senate , and its members were elected mostly by the country 's white minority . During the course of the Union the franchise changed on several occasions always to suit the needs of the government of the day . Parliamentary supremacy was a convention of the constitution , inherited from the United Kingdom ; save for procedural safeguards in respect of the entrenched sections of franchise and language , the courts were unable to intervene in Parliament 's decisions . Capitals ( edit ) Owing to disagreements over where the Union 's capital should be , a compromise was reached in which every province would be dealt a share of the benefits of the capital : the administration would be seated in Pretoria ( Transvaal ) , Parliament would be in Cape Town ( Cape Province ) , the Appellate Division would be in Bloemfontein ( Orange Free State ) . Bloemfontein and Pietermaritzburg ( Natal ) were given financial compensation . Relationship to the Crown ( edit ) The Union initially remained under the British Crown as a self - governing dominion of the British Empire . With the passage of the Statute of Westminster in 1931 , the Union and other dominions became equal in status to the United Kingdom and it could no longer legislate on behalf of them . The Monarch was represented in South Africa by a Governor - General , while effective power was exercised by the Executive Council , headed by the Prime Minister . Louis Botha , formerly a Boer general , was appointed first Prime Minister of the Union , heading a coalition representing the white Afrikaner and English - speaking British diaspora communities . Prosecutions before courts were instituted in the name of the Crown ( cited in the format Rex v Accused ) and government officials served in the name of the Crown .

Final days of the South Africa Act and legacy ( 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 . ( May 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Most English - speaking whites in South Africa supported the United Party of Jan Smuts , which favoured close relations with the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth , rather than the Afrikaans - speaking Nationalists , many of whom held anti-British sentiments , and were opposed to South Africa 's entry into the Second World War . Some extremist Nationalist organisations , like the Ossewa Brandwag , openly supported Nazi Germany during the Second World War . Many opposed moves to make the country a republic , voting `` no '' in the 5 October 1960 referendum , but due to the much larger number of Afrikaans - speaking voters , the referendum passed , leading to the establishment of a republic in 1961 . The Afrikaner - dominated Government consequently withdrew South Africa from the Commonwealth . Natal , which had an English - speaking majority , voted against . Following the referendum result , some whites in Natal even called for secession from the Union . Five years earlier , some 33,000 Natalians had signed the Natal Covenant in opposition to the plans for a republic . Subsequently , the National Party Government passed a Constitution that repealed the South Africa Act . The features of the Union were carried over with very little change to the newly formed Republic . The decision to transform from a Union to Republic was narrowly decided in the referendum . The decision together with the Government 's insistence on adhering to its policy of apartheid resulted in South Africa 's de facto expulsion from the Commonwealth of Nations ; South Africa left the association when it was resolved that it would not be permitted to remain on the terms it wished . Segregation ( edit ) The South Africa Act dealt with race in two specific provisions . First it entrenched the liberal Cape Qualified Franchise system of the Cape Colony which operated free of any racial considerations ( although due to socio - economic restrictions no real political expression of non-whites was possible . ) The Cape Prime Minister at the time , John X . Merriman , fought hard , but ultimately unsuccessfully , to extend this system of multi-racial franchise to the rest of South Africa . Second it made `` native affairs '' a matter for the national government . The practice therefore was to establish a Minister of Native Affairs . According to Stephen Howe , colonialism in some cases -- most obviously among white minorities in South Africa -- meant mainly that these violent settlers wanted to maintain more racial inequalities than the colonial empire found just . Previous attempts at unification ( edit ) Several previous unsuccessful attempts to unite the colonies were made , with proposed political models ranging from unitary , to loosely federal . Early unification attempt under Sir George Grey ( 1850s ) ( edit ) Sir George Grey , the Governor of Cape Colony from 1854 to 1861 , decided that unifying the states of southern Africa would be mutually beneficial . The stated reasons were that he believed that political divisions between the white - controlled states `` weakened them against the natives '' , threatened an ethnic divide between British and Boer , and left the Cape vulnerable to interference from other European powers . He believed that a united `` South African Federation '' , under British control , would resolve all three of these concerns . His idea was greeted with cautious optimism in southern Africa ; the Orange Free State agreed to the idea in principle and the Transvaal may also eventually have agreed . However , he was overruled by the British Colonial Office which ordered him to desist from his plans . His refusal to abandon the idea eventually led to him being recalled . The imposition of Confederation ( 1870s ) ( edit ) In the 1870s , the London Colonial Office , under Secretary for the Colonies Lord Carnarvon , decided to apply a system of Confederation onto southern Africa . On this occasion however , it was largely rejected by southern Africans , primarily due to its very bad timing . The various component states of southern Africa were still simmering after the last bout of British expansion , and inter-state tensions were high . The Orange Free State this time refused to even discuss the idea , and Prime Minister John Molteno of the Cape Colony called the idea badly informed and irresponsible . In addition , many local leaders resented the way it was imposed from outside without understanding of local issues . The Confederation model was also correctly seen as unsuitable for the disparate entities of southern Africa , with their wildly different sizes , economies and political systems . The Molteno Unification Plan ( 1877 ) , put forward by the Cape government as a more feasible unitary alternative to confederation , largely anticipated the final act of Union in 1909 . A crucial difference was that the Cape 's liberal constitution and multiracial franchise were to be extended to the other states of the union . These smaller states would gradually accede to the much larger Cape Colony through a system of treaties , whilst simultaneously gaining elected seats in the Cape parliament . The entire process would be locally driven , with Britain 's role restricted to policing any set - backs . While subsequently acknowledged to be more viable , this model was rejected at the time by London . At the other extreme , another powerful Cape politician at the time , Saul Solomon , proposed an extremely loose system of federation , with the component states preserving their very different constitutions and systems of franchise . Lord Carnarvon rejected the ( more informed ) local plans for unification , as he wished to have the process brought to a conclusion before the end of his tenure and , having little experience of southern Africa , he preferred to enforce the more familiar model of confederation used in Canada . He pushed ahead with his Confederation plan , which unraveled as predicted , leaving a string of destructive wars across southern Africa . These conflicts eventually fed into the first and second Anglo - Boer Wars , with far - reaching consequences for the subcontinent . Second Boer War 1899 - 1902 ( edit ) Main article : Second Boer War After gold was discovered in the 1880s , thousands of British men flocked to the gold mines of the South African Republic ( Transvaal ) and the Orange Free State . The newly arrived miners were needed for the mines but were distrusted by the politically dominant Afrikaners , who called them `` uitlanders '' and imposed heavy taxes and very limited civil rights , with no right to vote . The British , jealous of the gold and diamond mines and highly protective of its people , demanded reforms , which were rejected . A small - scale private British effort to overthrow Transvaal 's President Paul Kruger , the Jameson Raid of 1895 , was a fiasco , and presaged full - scale conflict as diplomatic efforts all failed . War started on 11 October 1899 and ended on 31 May 1902 as Great Britain was aided by its Cape Colony , Colony of Natal and some native African allies . The British war effort was further supported by volunteers from across the Empire . All other nations were neutral , but public opinion in them was largely hostile to Britain . Inside Britain and its Empire there also was a significant Opposition to the Second Boer War because of the atrocities and military failures . The British were overconfident and under prepared . Prime Minister Salisbury and his top officials , especially colonial secretary Joseph Chamberlain , ignored the repeated warnings of military advisors that the Boers were well prepared , well armed , and fighting for their homes in a very difficult terrain . The Boers struck first , besieging Ladysmith , Kimberly , and Mafeking in early 1900 , and winning important battles at Colenso , Magersfontein and Stormberg . Staggered , the British fought back , relieved its besieged cities , and prepared to invade first the Orange Free State , and then Transvaal in late 1900 . The Boers refused to surrender or negotiate , and reverted to guerrilla warfare . After two years of hard fighting , Britain , using over 400,000 soldiers systematically destroyed the resistance , raising worldwide complaints about brutality . The Boers were fighting for their homes and families , who provided them with food and hiding places . The British solution was to forcefully relocate all the Boer civilians into heavily guarded concentration camps , where about 28,000 died of disease . Then it systematically blocked off and tracked down the highly mobile Boer combat units . The battles were small operations ; most of the dead were victims of disease . The war ended in victory for the British and the annexation of both republics , which became the Transvaal Colony and the Orange River Colony . Reasons for unification ( edit ) The first Union cabinet At the close of the Anglo - Boer War in 1902 , the four colonies were for the first time under a common flag , and the most significant obstacle which had prevented previous plans at unification had been removed . Hence the long - standing desire of many colonial administrators to establish a unified structure became feasible . South African customs Union and trade tariffs ( edit ) The matter of trade tariffs had been a long - standing source of conflict between the various political units of Southern Africa . Essentially at the heart of the crisis lay the fact that the Transvaal was a landlocked economic hub that resented its dependence on its neighbours , as well as the costs it was incurring through rail and harbour customs . The Cape Colony was heavily dependent upon customs as a source of tax revenue and subsequently was directly competing with both Natal and Portuguese East Africa ( Mozambique ) . At the time of unification the bulk of cargo destined for the Witwatersrand area entered through Lourenço Marques ( now Maputo in Mozambique ) owing largely to the relative distance and the ZARs policy of reducing its dependence on the British Empire . The South African Customs Union came into existence in 1906 , but various problems existed with the arrangements particularly because the Transvaal was insistent on dominating the Union . After Unification the South African Customs Union continued to exist including the other British territories ( the Protectorates and Rhodesia ) . Union of South Africa and southern Rhodesia ( edit ) In 1922 the colony of Southern Rhodesia had a chance ( ultimately rejected ) to join the Union through a referendum . The referendum resulted from the fact that by 1920 British South Africa Company rule in Southern Rhodesia was no longer practical with many favouring some form of ' responsible government ' . Some favoured responsible government within Southern Rhodesia while others ( especially in Matabeleland ) favoured membership in the Union of South Africa . Politician Sir Charles Coghlan claimed that such membership with the Union would make Southern Rhodesia the `` Ulster of South Africa '' . Prior to the referendum , representatives of Southern Rhodesia visited Cape Town where the Prime Minister of South Africa , Jan Smuts , eventually offered terms he considered reasonable and which the United Kingdom government found acceptable . Although opinion among the United Kingdom government , the South African government and the British South Africa Company favoured the union option ( and none tried to interfere in the referendum ) , when the referendum was held the results saw 59.4 % in favour of responsible government for a separate colony and 40.6 % in favour of joining the Union of South Africa . Union of South Africa and South West Africa ( edit ) Background ( edit ) Main article : Palgrave Commission The inhospitable coast of what is now the Republic of Namibia remained uncolonised up until the end of the 19th century . From 1874 , the leaders of several indigenous peoples , notably Maharero of the Herero nation , approached the Cape Parliament to the south . Anticipating invasion by a European power and already suffering Portuguese encroachment from the north and Afrikaner encroachment from the south , these leaders approached the Cape Colony government to discuss the possibility of accession and the political representation it would entail . Accession to the Cape Colony , a self - governing state with a system of multi-racial franchise and legal protection for traditional land rights , was at the time considered marginally preferable to annexation by Portugal or Germany . In response , the Cape Parliament appointed a special Commission under William Palgrave , to travel to the territory between the Orange and Cunene rivers and to confer with these leaders regarding accession to the Cape . In the negotiations with the Palgrave Commission , some indigenous nations such as the Damara and the Herero responded positively ( Oct 1876 ) , other reactions were mixed . Discussions regarding the magisterial structure for the area 's political integration into the Cape dragged on until , from 1876 , it was blocked by Britain . Britain relented , insofar as allowing the Cape to incorporate Walvis Bay , which was brought under the magisterial district of Cape Town , but when the Germans established a protectorate over the area in 1884 , South West Africa was predominantly autonomous . Thereafter , South West Africa became a German colony , except for Walvis Bay and the Offshore Islands which remained part of the Cape , outside of German control . South African occupation ( edit ) South West Africa stamp : Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret on the 1947 Royal Tour of South Africa Following the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 the Union of South Africa occupied and annexed the German colony of German South West Africa . With the establishment of the League of Nations and cessation of the war , South Africa obtained a Class C Mandate to administer South West Africa `` under the laws of the mandatory ( South Africa ) as integral portions of its territory '' . Subsequently , the Union of South Africa generally regarded South West Africa as a fifth province , although this was never an official status . With the creation of the United Nations , the Union applied for the incorporation of South West Africa , but its application was rejected by the U.N. , which invited South Africa to prepare a Trusteeship agreement instead . This invitation was in turn rejected by the Union , which subsequently did not modify the administration of South West Africa and continued to adhere to the original mandate . This caused a complex set of legal wranglings that were not finalised when the Union was replaced with the Republic of South Africa . In 1949 , the Union passed a law bringing South West Africa into closer association with it including giving South West Africa representation in the South African parliament . Walvis Bay , which is now in Namibia , was originally a part of the Union of South Africa as it was a part of the Cape Colony at the time of Unification . In 1921 Walvis Bay was integrated with the Class C Mandate over South West Africa for the rest of the Union 's duration and for part of the Republic era . Namibian independence ( edit ) In 1990 South West Africa gained independence as Namibia , but Walvis Bay remained under South African sovereignty . At midnight on 28 February 1994 South Africa formally transferred sovereignty over Walvis Bay and the Penguin Islands to Namibia . Statute of Westminster ( edit ) The Statute of Westminster passed by the Imperial Parliament in December 1931 , which repealed the Colonial Laws Validity Act and implemented the Balfour Declaration 1926 , had a profound impact on the constitutional structure and status of the Union . The most notable effect was that the South African Parliament was released from many restrictions concerning the handling of the so - called `` native question '' . However the repeal was not sufficient to enable the South African Parliament to ignore the entrenched clauses of its constitution ( the South Africa Act ) which led to the coloured - vote constitutional crisis of the 1950s wherein the right of coloureds to vote in the main South African Parliament was removed and replaced with a separate , segregated , and largely powerless assembly .

"The Union of South Africa (Dutch: Unie van Zuid-Afrika, Afrikaans: Unie van Suid-Afrika) is the historic predecessor to the present-day republic of South Africa. It came into being on 31 May 1910 with the unification of four previously separate British colonies: the Cape, Natal, Transvaal and Orange River colonies. It included the territories formerly part of the Boer republics annexed in 1902, the South African Republic and the Orange Free State."

8625372740501257545 | You're So Vain | You 're So Vain - wikipedia You 're So Vain Jump to : navigation , search `` You 're So Vain '' Single by Carly Simon from the album No Secrets B - side `` His Friends Are More Than Fond of Robin '' Released November 8 , 1972 Format 7 '' single Recorded 1972 , Trident Studios Genre Pop , soft rock Length 4 : 19 Label Elektra Songwriter ( s ) Carly Simon Producer ( s ) Frank Flipetti Carly Simon singles chronology `` Legend in Your Own Time '' ( 1971 ) `` You 're So Vain '' ( 1972 ) `` The Right Thing to Do '' ( 1973 ) `` Legend in Your Own Time '' ( 1971 ) `` You 're So Vain '' ( 1972 ) `` The Right Thing to Do '' ( 1973 ) `` You 're So Vain '' is a song written and performed by Carly Simon and released in November 1972 . The song is a critical profile of a self - absorbed lover about whom Simon asserts `` You 're so vain , you probably think this song is about you . '' The title subject 's identity has long been a matter of speculation , with Simon stating that the song refers to three men , only one of whom she has named publicly , actor Warren Beatty . The song is ranked at # 82 on Billboard 's Greatest Songs of All - Time . `` You 're So Vain '' was voted # 216 in RIAA 's Songs of the Century , and in August 2014 , the UK 's Official Charts Company crowned it the ultimate song of the 1970s . The distinctive bass guitar intro is played by Klaus Voormann and the strings were arranged by Simon and orchestrated by Paul Buckmaster . Simon plays piano on the track . Contents ( hide ) 1 Subject of the song 2 References in the song 3 Later versions and adaptations 4 Chart performance 4.1 Weekly charts 4.2 Year - end charts 5 Awards 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Subject of the song ( edit ) Before the song became a hit single in 1972 , Simon told an interviewer that the song was about `` men , '' not a specific `` man '' . In 1983 , she said it is not about Mick Jagger , who contributed uncredited backing vocals to the song . In a 1993 book , Angie Bowie claimed to be the `` wife of a close friend '' mentioned in `` You 're So Vain '' , and that Jagger , for a time , had been `` obsessed '' with her . Simon made another comment about the subject 's identity as a guest artist on Janet Jackson 's 2001 single , `` Son of a Gun ( I Betcha Think This Song Is About You ) '' , which sampled `` You 're So Vain '' . Simon said about the song , `` The apricot scarf was worn by Nick ( Delbanco ) . Nothing in the words referred to Mick . '' In a 2007 interview Warren Beatty said , `` Let 's be honest . That song was about me . '' Simon had said in 1983 that Beatty `` certainly thought it was about him -- he called me and said thanks for the song ... '' In an interview for the 1978 / 1982 version of The History of Rock & Roll radio series , producer Richard Perry acknowledges that Simon was essentially referring to Beatty while also referencing other men in her life . Over the years Simon has divulged `` letter clues '' and has claimed that the subject 's name contains the letters A , E , and R . Shortly before the writing of the song , Simon was married to James Taylor ; she has said that he was `` definitely not '' the subject of the song . David Bowie , David Cassidy and Cat Stevens have all been cited by the press as speculative candidates . In August 2003 Simon agreed to reveal the name of the song 's subject to the highest bidder of the Martha 's Vineyard Possible Dreams charity auction . With the top bid of $50,000 , Dick Ebersol , president of NBC Sports and a friend of Simon , won the right to know the name of the subject of `` You 're So Vain '' . A condition of the prize was that Ebersol not reveal the name . Ebersol said Simon allowed him to divulge a clue about the person 's name : `` Carly told me that I could offer up to the entire world a clue as to what she 'll tell me when we have this night in about two weeks . And the clue is : The letter ' E ' is in the person 's name . '' In 2004 Simon told Regis Philbin , `` If I tell it , it 's going to come out in dribs and drabs . And I 've given out two letters already , an ' A ' and an ' E . ' But I 'm going to add one to it . I 'm going to add an ' R , ' in honor of you . '' In 2005 Simon 's ex-husband Jim Hart said he was sure that the song was not about anyone famous . On June 19 , 2008 , Howard Stern stated that Simon had privately revealed to him about whom the song was written after her interview on his popular radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio . Stern commented , `` There is an odd aspect to it ... he 's not that vain . '' On March 17 , 2009 , Stern stated that she had said it was a `` composite of three people . '' Stern repeated this on May 5 , 2014 , stating , `` She takes me aside , pulls me close , whispers in my ear ... three names . She goes , it was n't one person , it was three people . '' Simon herself confirmed that Stern was among `` a few people '' that she had given the names to . In her 2008 book Girls Like Us , author Sheila Weller includes a detailed account of Simon 's love affair with musician Dan Armstrong , and suggests that he was the inspiration for `` You 're So Vain . '' Her heartbreak over eventually losing him inspired the song `` Dan , My Fling , '' which appears on her first album . Armstrong 's full name , Daniel Kent Armstrong , contains all three letters of Simon 's clue . On November 4 , 2009 , Simon said she had hidden the name of the subject in a certain version of the song . The next day , the program 's crew revealed the name concealed in a back - played whisper : David . Simon denied that the whisper was `` David , '' saying she had spoken `` Ovid '' both forwards and backwards , and that sounded like David . In February 2010 , Simon reiterated that the name of the subject was whispered in a re-recording of `` You 're So Vain '' : `` There 's a little whisper -- and it 's the answer to the puzzle . '' A representative for Simon confirmed that the name whispered during the song is `` David '' . Multiple media outlets then speculated that the subject was Simon 's former boss at Elektra , David Geffen , The following day Jim Hart , Simon 's ex-husband and close friend , denied that the song was about Geffen . Simon said that when she wrote the song in 1971 , she had not yet met Geffen . Simon 's publicist also confirmed the song was not about Geffen , but that there was indeed `` a David who is connected to the song in some way , shape , or form , '' Vanity Fair noted that in addition to `` David '' , `` Warren '' and an unintelligible name are whispered during the recording . After her live performance of the song with Simon in July 2013 , Taylor Swift stated that Simon had revealed the identity of the song 's subject to her in confidence . In November 2015 , Simon , promoting her about - to - be-published memoir , said , `` I have confirmed that the second verse is Warren ( Beatty ) '' and added that while `` Warren thinks the whole thing is about him , '' he is the subject of that verse only , with the remainder of the song referring to two other , still unnamed men . References in the song ( edit ) Gavotte -- used in the line `` You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte '' -- is a French dance . In this context it can be taken to mean moving in a pretentious manner . Simon said the line `` clouds in my coffee '' came `` from an airplane flight that I took with Billy Mernit , who was my friend and piano player at the time . As I got my coffee , there were clouds outside the window of the airplane and you could see the reflection in the cup of coffee . Billy said to me , ' Look at the clouds in your coffee ' . '' The line `` I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won '' refers to the Saratoga Race Course horse - racing season held in late July , August , and early September in Saratoga Springs , New York . The season is frequented by the rich and famous of New York and other East Coast cities . Two solar eclipses ( `` Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun '' ) were visible from Nova Scotia in the early 1970s , on March 7 , 1970 , and July 10 , 1972 . Simon said she wrote the song in 1971 , but the 1972 eclipse ( which could only be seen in Nova Scotia as opposed to the 1970 eclipse which traversed the entire East Coast , and also happened during the Saratoga racing season ) better fits the narrative . Later versions and adaptations ( edit ) The song has been recorded by Chocolate Starfish , The Mountain Goats , David Axelrod , John Barrowman , Liza Minnelli , Jack Klugman and Tony Randall ( as `` The Odd Couple '' ) , Chimira , Venice , The Feeling , Jann Arden , Janet Jackson ( who sampled the song in `` Son of a Gun ( I Betcha Think This Song Is About You ) '' , with Simon providing featured vocals ) , Trey Songz ( who sampled from Janet Jackson in his single `` About You ) , '' Anna Waronker , Faster Pussycat , Dres , Daryll - Ann , Smokie , Queens of the Stone Age , Sally Seltmann , Asaro and Wolcott , Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs , Marilyn Manson ( featuring Johnny Depp ) , and Italian pop star Mina in her 1985 album Finalmente ho conosciuto il conte Dracula ... Foo Fighters performed the song live at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in 2008 . On July 27 , 2013 , Simon performed `` You 're So Vain '' with Taylor Swift on her Red Tour . The song `` Starfuckers , Inc . '' by Nine Inch Nails , released in 2000 , references `` You 're So Vain '' , by quoting the chorus . Supporters of English football team Everton F.C. sang the song to player Leighton Baines at the 2009 football matches . On their 2009 album Felony , New York City metalcore band Emmure had a song titled `` R2Deepthroat '' where vocalist Frankie says `` You 're so vain , I bet you think this song is about you , do n't you ? '' In the lead - up to the 2016 US presidential election , Simon authorized the use of the song in an ad against Donald Trump . In a piece posted by BBC News on May 5 , 2017 , Simon sings a previously unreleased fourth verse to the song , which she states had been written on a pad some time ago but never made it into the song . It references a man , married multiple times , who `` called her once to ask her things she could n't quite divine '' . Chart performance ( edit ) The song was a number - one hit in the US , Canada and Australia and reached number four in Ireland and South Africa . Bowing at # 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 2 December 1972 , the song took only five more weeks to rocket to the top of the chart , where it stayed for the first three weeks of 1973 , also spending two weeks at the top of the Easy Listening chart in early 1973 , her first number one on either chart . `` You 're So Vain '' was Simon 's breakthrough hit in the United Kingdom , reaching number three on the UK chart on its original release in 1973 . The song was re-released in the UK in 1991 to cash in on its inclusion in a commercial for Dunlop Tyres , peaking at number 41 .

"\"You're So Vain\" is a song written and performed by Carly Simon and released in November 1972. The song is a critical profile of a self-absorbed lover about whom Simon asserts \"You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.\" The title subject's identity has long been a matter of speculation, with Simon stating that the song refers to three men, only one of whom she has named publicly, actor Warren Beatty.[2] The song is ranked at #82 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of All-Time.[3] \"You're So Vain\" was voted #216 in RIAA's Songs of the Century, and in August 2014, the UK's Official Charts Company crowned it the ultimate song of the 1970s.[4]"

A patchwork of state laws provided varying degrees of protection against unethical sales practices , such as misrepresenting the ingredients of food products or therapeutic substances . The history of the FDA can be traced to the latter part of the 19th century and the U.S. Department of Agriculture 's Division of Chemistry ( later Bureau of Chemistry ) . Under Harvey Washington Wiley , appointed chief chemist in 1883 , the Division began conducting research into the adulteration and misbranding of food and drugs on the American market . Although they had no regulatory powers , the Division published its findings from 1887 to 1902 in a ten - part series entitled Foods and Food Adulterants . Wiley used these findings , and alliances with diverse organizations such as state regulators , the General Federation of Women 's Clubs , and national associations of physicians and pharmacists , to lobby for a new federal law to set uniform standards for food and drugs to enter into interstate commerce . Wiley 's advocacy came at a time when the public had become aroused to hazards in the marketplace by muckraking journalists like Upton Sinclair , and became part of a general trend for increased federal regulations in matters pertinent to public safety during the Progressive Era . The 1902 Biologics Control Act was put in place after diphtheria antitoxin was collected from a horse named Jim who contracted tetanus , resulting in several deaths . Much credit is given to the deaths of many people in the 1930s , including Eben Byers in 1932 from the ingestion of radithor and many women , some known as The Radium Girls , to making the FDA into the much more powerful organization we know today . The 1906 Food and drug Act and creation of the FDA ( edit ) In June 1906 , President Theodore Roosevelt signed into law the Food and Drug Act , also known as the `` Wiley Act '' after its chief advocate . The Act prohibited , under penalty of seizure of goods , the interstate transport of food which had been `` adulterated , '' with that term referring to the addition of fillers of reduced `` quality or strength , '' coloring to conceal `` damage or inferiority , '' formulation with additives `` injurious to health , '' or the use of `` filthy , decomposed , or putrid '' substances . The act applied similar penalties to the interstate marketing of `` adulterated '' drugs , in which the `` standard of strength , quality , or purity '' of the active ingredient was not either stated clearly on the label or listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia or the National Formulary . The act also banned `` misbranding '' of food and drugs . The responsibility for examining food and drugs for such `` adulteration '' or `` misbranding '' was given to Wiley 's USDA Bureau of Chemistry . Wiley used these new regulatory powers to pursue an aggressive campaign against the manufacturers of foods with chemical additives , but the Chemistry Bureau 's authority was soon checked by judicial decisions , as well as by the creation of the Board of Food and Drug Inspection and the Referee Board of Consulting Scientific Experts as separate organizations within the USDA in 1907 and 1908 respectively . A 1911 Supreme Court decision ruled that the 1906 act did not apply to false claims of therapeutic efficacy , in response to which a 1912 amendment added `` false and fraudulent '' claims of `` curative or therapeutic effect '' to the Act 's definition of `` misbranded . '' However , these powers continued to be narrowly defined by the courts , which set high standards for proof of fraudulent intent . In 1927 , the Bureau of Chemistry 's regulatory powers were reorganized under a new USDA body , the Food , Drug , and Insecticide organization . This name was shortened to the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) three years later . The 1938 Food , drug , and Cosmetic Act ( edit ) By the 1930s , muckraking journalists , consumer protection organizations , and federal regulators began mounting a campaign for stronger regulatory authority by publicizing a list of injurious products which had been ruled permissible under the 1906 law , including radioactive beverages , the mascara Lash lure , which caused blindness , and worthless `` cures '' for diabetes and tuberculosis . The resulting proposed law was unable to get through the Congress of the United States for five years , but was rapidly enacted into law following the public outcry over the 1937 Elixir Sulfanilamide tragedy , in which over 100 people died after using a drug formulated with a toxic , untested solvent . The only way that the FDA could even seize the product was due to a misbranding problem : an `` Elixir '' was defined as a medication dissolved in ethanol , not the diethylene glycol used in the Elixir Sulfanilamide . Had it been labeled a `` solution '' instead , it is argued , the agency could have done nothing to track down and confiscate what medication remained in the public 's hands . President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the new Food , Drug , and Cosmetic Act ( FD&C Act ) into law on June 24 , 1938 . The new law significantly increased federal regulatory authority over drugs by mandating a pre-market review of the safety of all new drugs , as well as banning false therapeutic claims in drug labeling without requiring that the FDA prove fraudulent intent . The law also authorized factory inspections and expanded enforcement powers , set new regulatory standards for foods , and brought cosmetics and therapeutic devices under federal regulatory authority . This law , though extensively amended in subsequent years , remains the central foundation of FDA regulatory authority to the present day . Regulation of human drugs and medical devices after 1938 ( edit ) Early FD&C Act amendments : 1938 -- 1958 ( edit ) Soon after passage of the 1938 Act , the FDA began to designate certain drugs as safe for use only under the supervision of a medical professional , and the category of `` prescription - only '' drugs was securely codified into law by the 1951 Durham - Humphrey Amendment . While pre-market testing of drug efficacy was not authorized under the 1938 FD&C Act , subsequent amendments such as the Insulin Amendment and Penicillin Amendment did mandate potency testing for formulations of specific lifesaving pharmaceuticals . The FDA began enforcing its new powers against drug manufacturers who could not substantiate the efficacy claims made for their drugs , and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruling in Alberty Food Products Co. v. United States ( 1950 ) found that drug manufacturers could not evade the `` false therapeutic claims '' provision of the 1938 act by simply omitting the intended use of a drug from the drug 's label . These developments confirmed extensive powers for the FDA to enforce post-marketing recalls of ineffective drugs . Much of the FDA 's regulatory attentions in this era were directed towards abuse of amphetamines and barbiturates , but the agency also reviewed some 13,000 new drug applications between 1938 and 1962 . While the science of toxicology was in its infancy at the start of this era , rapid advances in experimental assays for food additive and drug safety testing were made during this period by FDA regulators and others . Expansion of pre-market approval process : 1959 -- 1985 ( edit ) In 1959 , Senator Estes Kefauver began holding congressional hearings into concerns about pharmaceutical industry practices , such as the perceived high cost and uncertain efficacy of many drugs promoted by manufacturers . There was significant opposition , however , to calls for a new law expanding the FDA 's authority . This climate was rapidly changed by the thalidomide tragedy , in which thousands of European babies were born deformed after their mothers took that drug - marketed for treatment of nausea - during their pregnancies . Thalidomide had not been approved for use in the U.S. due to the concerns of an FDA reviewer , Frances Oldham Kelsey , about thyroid toxicity . However , thousands of `` trial samples '' had been sent to American doctors during the `` clinical investigation '' phase of the drug 's development , which at the time was entirely unregulated by the FDA . Individual members of Congress cited the thalidomide incident in lending their support to expansion of FDA authority . The 1962 Kefauver - Harris Amendment to the FD&C act represented a `` revolution '' in FDA regulatory authority . The most important change was the requirement that all new drug applications demonstrate `` substantial evidence '' of the drug 's efficacy for a marketed indication , in addition to the existing requirement for pre-marketing demonstration of safety . This marked the start of the FDA approval process in its modern form . Drugs approved between 1938 and 1962 were also subject to FDA review of their efficacy , and to potential withdrawal from the market . Other important provisions of the 1962 amendments included the requirement that drug companies use the `` established '' or `` generic '' name of a drug along with the trade name , the restriction of drug advertising to FDA - approved indications , and expansion of FDA powers to inspect drug manufacturing facilities . These reforms had the effect of increasing the time required to bring a drug to market . In the mid-1970s , 13 of the 14 drugs the FDA saw as most important to approve were on the market in other countries before the United States . One of the most important statutes in establishing the modern American pharmaceutical market was the 1984 Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act , more commonly known as the `` Hatch - Waxman Act '' after its chief sponsors . This act was intended to correct two unfortunate interactions between the new regulations mandated by the 1962 amendments , and existing patent law ( which is not regulated or enforced by the FDA , but rather by the United States Patent and Trademark Office ) . Because the additional clinical trials mandated by the 1962 amendments significantly delayed the marketing of new drugs , without extending the duration of the manufacturer 's patent , `` pioneer '' drug manufacturers experienced a decreased period of lucrative market exclusivity . On the other hand , the new regulations could be interpreted to require complete safety and efficacy testing for generic copies of approved drugs , and `` pioneer '' manufacturers obtained court decisions which prevented generic manufacturers from even beginning the clinical trial process while a drug was still under patent . The Hatch - Waxman Act was intended as a compromise between the `` pioneer '' and generic drug manufacturers which would reduce the overall cost of bringing generics to market and thus , it was hoped , reduce the long - term price of the drug , while preserving the overall profitability of developing new drugs . The act extended the patent exclusivity terms of new drugs , and importantly tied those extensions , in part , to the length of the FDA approval process for each individual drug . For generic manufacturers , the Act created a new approval mechanism , the Abbreviated New Drug Application ( ANDA ) , in which the generic drug manufacturer need only demonstrate that their generic formulation has the same active ingredient , route of administration , dosage form , strength , and pharmacokinetic properties ( `` bioequivalence '' ) as the corresponding brand - name drug . This act has been credited with essentially creating the modern generic drug industry . FDA reforms in the AIDS era ( edit ) Concerns about the length of the drug approval process were brought to the fore early in the AIDS epidemic . In the mid - and late 1980s , ACT - UP and other HIV activist organizations accused the FDA of unnecessarily delaying the approval of medications to fight HIV and opportunistic infections , and staged large protests , such as a confrontational October 11 , 1988 action at the FDA campus which resulted in nearly 180 arrests . In August 1990 , Dr. Louis Lasagna , then chairman of a presidential advisory panel on drug approval , estimated that thousands of lives were lost each year due to delays in approval and marketing of drugs for cancer and AIDS . Partly in response to these criticisms , the FDA issued new rules to expedite approval of drugs for life - threatening diseases , and expanded pre-approval access to drugs for patients with limited treatment options . The first of these new rules was the `` IND exemption '' or `` treatment IND '' rule , which allowed expanded access to a drug undergoing phase II or III trials ( or in extraordinary cases even earlier ) if it potentially represented a safer or better alternative to treatments currently available for terminal or serious illness . A second new rule , the `` parallel track policy '' , allowed a drug company to set up a mechanism for access to a new potentially lifesaving drug by patients who for various reasons would be unable to participate in ongoing clinical trials . The `` parallel track '' designation could be made at the time of IND submission . The accelerated approval rules were further expanded and codified in 1992 . All of the initial drugs approved for the treatment of HIV / AIDS were approved through accelerated approval mechanisms . For example , a `` treatment IND '' was issued for the first HIV drug , AZT , in 1985 , and approval was granted just two years later in 1987 . Three of the first five drugs targeting HIV were approved in the United States before they were approved in any other country . Challenges to FDA authority by States ( edit ) In two instances , state governments have sought to legalize drugs which have not been approved by the FDA . Because federal law passed pursuant to Constitutional authority overrules conflicting state laws , federal authorities still claim the authority to seize , arrest , and prosecute for possession and sales of these substances , even in states where they are legal under state law . The first wave was the legalization by 27 states of laetrile in the late 1970s . This drug was used as a treatment for cancer , but scientific studies both before and after this legislative trend found it to be ineffective . Federal law enforcement prevented interstate shipment , making the drug infeasible to manufacture and sell . Further studies based on a Mexican formulation also showed no effectiveness in treating cancer , but did find that some patients experienced symptoms of cyanide poisoning . Though the political movement died out in the 1980s , FDA enforcement actions against laetrile purveyors continued into the 2000s . The second wave concerned medical marijuana in the 1990s and 2000s . Though Virginia passed a law with limited effect in 1979 , a more widespread trend began in California in 1996 . In 2009 , the Obama Administration de-prioritized enforcement of federal law against patients using the drug in compliance with state law , but reversed this policy in 2011 . Recreational marijuana remains illegal ( but not necessarily criminal ) in all states and at the federal level , as of 2009 . Further information : Medical cannabis in the United States Regulation of living organisms ( edit ) With acceptance of premarket notification 510 ( k ) k033391 in January 2004 , the FDA granted Dr. Ronald Sherman permission to produce and market medical maggots for use in humans or other animals as a prescription medical device . Medical maggots represent the first living organism allowed by the Food and Drug Administration for production and marketing as a prescription medical device . In June 2004 , the FDA cleared Hirudo medicinalis ( medicinal leeches ) as the second living organism to be used as a medical devices . Timeline of Food and drug legislation ( edit ) Most federal laws concerning the FDA are part of the Food , Drug and Cosmetic Act , ( first passed in 1938 and extensively amended since ) and are codified in Title 21 , Chapter 9 of the United States Code . Other significant laws enforced by the FDA include the Public Health Service Act , parts of the Controlled Substances Act , the Federal Anti-Tampering Act , as well as many others . In many cases these responsibilities are shared with other federal agencies .

"Wiley used these new regulatory powers to pursue an aggressive campaign against the manufacturers of foods with chemical additives, but the Chemistry Bureau's authority was soon checked by judicial decisions, as well as by the creation of the Board of Food and Drug Inspection and the Referee Board of Consulting Scientific Experts as separate organizations within the USDA in 1907 and 1908 respectively. A 1911 Supreme Court decision ruled that the 1906 act did not apply to false claims of therapeutic efficacy,[7] in response to which a 1912 amendment added \"false and fraudulent\" claims of \"curative or therapeutic effect\" to the Act's definition of \"misbranded.\" However, these powers continued to be narrowly defined by the courts, which set high standards for proof of fraudulent intent.[1] In 1927, the Bureau of Chemistry's regulatory powers were reorganized under a new USDA body, the Food, Drug, and Insecticide organization. This name was shortened to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) three years later.[8]"

7167468043652661815 | Boroughs of New York City | Boroughs of New York City - wikipedia Boroughs of New York City Jump to : navigation , search 1 . Manhattan 2 . Brooklyn 3 . Queens 4 . The Bronx 5 . Staten Island New York City encompasses five different county - level administrative divisions called boroughs : Manhattan , the Bronx , Queens , Brooklyn , and Staten Island . All boroughs are part of New York City , and each of the boroughs is coextensive with a respective county , the primary administrative subdivision within New York State . The Bronx and Queens are concurrent with the counties of the same name , while Manhattan , Brooklyn , and Staten Island correspond to New York , Kings , and Richmond Counties respectively . Boroughs have existed since the consolidation of the city in 1898 , when the city and each borough assumed their current boundaries . However , the boroughs have not always been coextensive with their respective counties . Before 1914 , the borough of The Bronx had been earlier in the southern part of Westchester County which had then been annexed to New York County in two stages in 1874 and 1895 -- finally , in 1914 the county was created to match the borough . Before 1899 , the County of Queens included an eastern part , which was split - off during the consolidation to become Nassau County . Contents ( hide ) 1 Terminology 2 Background 2.1 Changes after 1898 3 Description of the boroughs 4 Governance 5 Sixth borough 6 See also 7 References Terminology ( edit ) The term borough was adopted to describe a form of governmental administration for each of the five fundamental constituent parts of the newly consolidated city in 1898 . Under the 1898 City Charter adopted by the New York State Legislature , a `` borough '' is a municipal corporation that is created when a county is merged with populated areas within it . The limited powers of the borough governments are inferior to the authority of the Government of New York City , contrasting significantly with other borough administrations of government used in Connecticut , New Jersey , and Pennsylvania , where a borough is an independent level of government , as well as borough forms used in other states and in Greater London . Background ( edit ) New York City 's five boroughs Jurisdiction Population Land area Density Borough County Estimate ( 2016 ) square miles square km persons / sq. mi persons / sq. km Manhattan New York 1,643,734 22.83 59.1 72,033 27,826 The Bronx Bronx 1,455,720 42 110 34,653 13,231 Brooklyn Kings 2,629,150 71 180 37,137 14,649 Queens Queens 2,333,054 109 280 21,460 8,354 Staten Island Richmond 476,015 58.5 152 8,112 3,132 City of New York 8,537,673 303.33 781.1 28,188 10,947 State of New York 19,745,289 47,214 122,284 416.4 159 Sources : see individual borough articles The borough of Manhattan is the economic , cultural , and administrative center of New York City . New York City is often referred to collectively as the five boroughs ; the term is used to refer to New York City as a whole unambiguously , avoiding confusion with any particular borough or with the Greater New York metropolitan area . The term is also used by politicians to counter a frequent focus on Manhattan and thereby to place all five boroughs on equal footing . In the same vein , the term outer boroughs refers to all of the boroughs excluding Manhattan , even though the geographic center of the city is along the Brooklyn -- Queens border . All five boroughs were created in 1898 during consolidation , when the city 's current boundaries were established . Changes after 1898 ( edit ) The Bronx originally included parts of New York County outside of Manhattan that had previously been ceded by neighboring Westchester County in two stages ; in 1874 and then following a referendum in 1894 . Ultimately in 1914 , the present - day separate Bronx County became the last county to be created in the State of New York . The borough of Queens consists of what formerly was only the western part of a then - larger Queens County . In 1899 , the three eastern towns of Queens County that had not joined the city the year before -- the towns of Hempstead , North Hempstead , and Oyster Bay -- formally seceded from Queens County to form the new Nassau County . The borough of Staten Island , concurrent with Richmond County , was officially the borough of Richmond until the name was changed in 1975 to reflect its common appellation , while leaving the name of the county unchanged . Description of the boroughs ( edit ) Chinatown in Manhattan , the most densely populated borough of New York City , with a higher density than any individual American city . Landmark 19th - century brownstones in the Greenpoint Historic District of Brooklyn , New York City 's most populous borough . The Unisphere in Queens , the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world . Borough Hall in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island , the most suburban borough of New York City . The Bronx , the northernmost borough of New York City and the only borough situated on the United States mainland . Further information : Neighborhoods in New York City and List of parks in New York City There are hundreds of distinct neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs of New York City , many with a definable history and character to call their own . Manhattan ( New York County ) is the geographically smallest and most densely populated borough ; is the symbol of New York City , as home to most of the city 's skyscrapers and prominent landmarks , including Times Square and Central Park ; and may be locally known simply as The City . Manhattan 's ( New York County 's ) population density of 72,033 people per square mile ( 27,812 / km ) in 2015 makes it the highest of any county in the United States and higher than the density of any individual U.S. city . Manhattan is the cultural , administrative , and financial center of New York City and contains the headquarters of many major multinational corporations , the United Nations Headquarters , Wall Street , and a number of important universities . Manhattan is often described as the cultural , financial , media , and entertainment capital of the world . Most of the borough is situated on Manhattan Island , at the mouth of the Hudson River . Several small islands are also part of the borough of Manhattan , including Randall 's Island , Wards Island , and Roosevelt Island in the East River , and Governors Island to the south in New York Harbor ; Liberty Island , on which the Statue of Liberty stands , is a Manhattan exclave . Manhattan Island is loosely divided into Lower , Midtown , and Uptown regions . Uptown Manhattan is divided by Central Park into the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side , and above the park is Harlem . The borough also includes a small neighborhood on the United States mainland , called Marble Hill . Marble Hill was originally part of Manhattan Island , but is now contiguous with the Bronx after having been severed from Manhattan Island by the construction of the Harlem River Ship Canal south of the neighborhood , and having been connected to the mainland by the subsequent filling in of the Harlem River 's original path to the neighborhood 's north . New York City 's remaining four boroughs are collectively referred to as the outer boroughs . Brooklyn ( Kings County ) , on the western tip of Long Island , is the city 's most populous borough . Brooklyn is known for its cultural , social , and ethnic diversity , an independent art scene , distinct neighborhoods , and a distinctive architectural heritage . Downtown Brooklyn is the largest central core neighborhood in the outer boroughs . The borough has a long beachfront shoreline including Coney Island , established in the 1870s as one of the earliest amusement grounds in the country . Marine Park and Prospect Park are the two largest parks in Brooklyn . Since 2010 , Brooklyn has evolved into a thriving hub of entrepreneurship and high technology startup firms , and of postmodern art and design . Queens ( Queens County ) , on Long Island north and east of Brooklyn , is geographically the largest borough , the most ethnically diverse county in the United States , as well as the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world . Historically a collection of small towns and villages founded by the Dutch , the borough has since developed both commercial and residential prominence . Downtown Flushing has become one of the busiest central core neighborhoods in the outer boroughs . Queens is the site of Citi Field , the baseball stadium of the New York Mets , and hosts the annual U.S. Open tennis tournament at Flushing Meadows - Corona Park . Additionally , two of the three busiest airports serving the New York metropolitan area , John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport , are located in Queens . ( The third is Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark , New Jersey . ) The Bronx ( Bronx County ) is New York City 's northernmost borough and the only New York City borough that is part of the United States mainland . It is the location of Yankee Stadium , the baseball stadium of the New York Yankees , and home to the largest cooperatively owned housing complex in the United States , Co-op City . It is also home to the Bronx Zoo , the world 's largest metropolitan zoo , which covers 265 acres ( 107 ha ) and houses over 6,000 animals . Directly to the zoo 's north is the New York Botanical Garden , a botanical garden and National Historic Landmark . Pelham Bay Park is the largest park in New York City , at 2,772 acres ( 1,122 ha ) . Staten Island ( Richmond County ) is the most suburban in character of the five boroughs . Staten Island is connected to Brooklyn by the Verrazano - Narrows Bridge and to Manhattan by way of the Staten Island Ferry , a free commuter ferry and popular tourist attraction which provides unobstructed views of the Statue of Liberty , Ellis Island , and Lower Manhattan . In central Staten Island , the Staten Island Greenbelt spans approximately 2,500 acres ( 10 km ) , including 28 miles ( 45 km ) of walking trails and one of the last undisturbed forests in the city . Designated in 1984 to protect the island 's natural lands , the Greenbelt comprises seven city parks . Governance ( edit ) The percentage of New York City population residing in each borough ( from bottom to top ) : 1 . Manhattan , 2 . Brooklyn , 3 . Queens , 4 . The Bronx , and 5 . Staten Island . ( Populations before 1898 are for the areas now enclosed in the present boroughs . ) Main article : Borough president Since 1914 , each of New York City 's five boroughs has been coextensive with a county of New York State -- unlike most U.S. cities , which lie within a single county or extend partially into another county , constitute a county in themselves , or are completely separate and independent of any county . Each borough is represented by a borough president . Brooklyn , Queens , and Staten Island each have a Borough Hall with limited administrative functions . The Manhattan Borough President 's office is situated in the Manhattan Municipal Building . The Bronx Borough President 's office used to be in its own Bronx Borough Hall but has been in the Bronx County Courthouse for decades . Since the abolition of the Board of Estimate in 1990 ( due to a 1989 ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court ) , the borough presidents have minimal executive powers , and there is no legislative function within a borough . Executive functions in New York City are the responsibility of the Mayor of New York City , while legislative functions reside with the New York City Council . The borough presidents primarily act as spokesmen , advocates , and ceremonial leaders for their boroughs , have budgets from which they can allocate relatively modest sums of money to community organizations and projects , and appoint the members of the 59 largely advisory community boards in the city 's various neighborhoods . The Brooklyn and Queens borough presidents also appoint trustees to the local public library systems in those boroughs . Being coextensive with an individual county , each borough also elects a district attorney , as does every other county of New York State . While the district attorneys of Manhattan , Brooklyn , and Staten Island are popularly referred to as such by the media ( e.g. , `` Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance , Jr . '' , or `` Brooklyn D.A. Kenneth P. Thompson '' ) , they are technically and legally the district attorneys of New York County , Kings County and Richmond County , respectively . There is no such distinction made for the district attorneys of the other two counties , Queens and the Bronx , since these boroughs share the respective counties ' names . Because the five district attorneys are , technically speaking , state officials ( since the counties are considered to be arms of the state government ) , rather than officials of the city government , they are not subject to the term limitations that govern other New York City officials such as the mayor , the New York City Public Advocate , members of the city council , or the borough presidents . Some civil court judges also are elected on a borough - wide basis , although they generally are eligible to serve throughout the city . Sixth borough ( edit ) Main article : Sixth borough The term sixth borough is used to describe any of a number of places that have been metaphorically called a part of New York City because of their geographic location , demographics ( they include large numbers of former New Yorkers ) , special affiliation , or cosmopolitan character . They have included adjacent cities and counties in the New York metropolitan area as well as in other states , U.S. territories , and foreign countries . In 2011 , New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg referred to the city 's waterfront and waterways as a composite sixth borough during presentations of planned rehabilitation projects along the city 's shoreline , including Governor 's Island in the Upper New York Bay . The Hudson Waterfront in the U.S. state of New Jersey lies opposite Manhattan on the Hudson River , and during the Dutch colonial era , was under the jurisdiction of New Amsterdam and known as Bergen . Jersey City and Hoboken in Hudson County , New Jersey , are sometimes referred to as the sixth borough , given their proximity and connections by rapid transit PATH trains . Fort Lee , New Jersey , in Bergen County , opposite Upper Manhattan and connected by the George Washington Bridge , has also been called the sixth borough . Miami and nearby areas in Florida , Philadelphia and China are locales entirely outside the city 's metropolitan area which have been called New York City 's sixth borough .

' ' Suspicions ' ' ; also known as Death on the Staircase ) is a 2004 French television miniseries by Jean - Xavier de Lestrade documenting the trial of Michael Peterson , convicted of murdering his wife , Kathleen Peterson . Following from de Lestrade 's Oscar - winning Murder on a Sunday Morning , filming began soon after Peterson 's indictment . Camera crews were given access to the accused 's extended family , the defense attorneys , and the courtroom . The film features a brief appearance by Mike Nifong , a future figure in the Duke lacrosse case , working with the team prosecuting Peterson . An abbreviated version was broadcast as special two - hour presentation of American news show Primetime Thursday on July 22 , 2004 . The miniseries was completed in September 2004 , and premiered in October on Canal+ , from January 10 -- 14 , 2005 , on BBC Four ( as part of its Storyville documentary series ) , and from April 4 -- 25 on Sundance Channel . The BBC featured an interview with Lestrade in 2005 . Contents 1 Plot 2 Reception 3 Sequels 4 Legacy 5 References 6 External links Plot ( edit ) In December 2001 , novelist Michael Peterson called to report that his wife Kathleen had fallen down a set of stairs in their Forest Hills mansion and died . The authorities disbelieved Peterson 's story that Kathleen had fallen while drunk and concluded instead that he had bludgeoned her to death , most likely with a fireplace poker which was discovered missing from the house . Peterson was soon charged with murder . The film details the ensuing case from the point of view of Peterson and his defense team , led by David Rudolf . During the trial it is discovered that while Peterson was living in Germany , a family friend died from an intra-cerebral haemorrhage , followed by the body falling down stairs after collapsing , which resulted in similar head injuries to those sustained by Peterson 's wife . An investigation by German police and US military authorities concluded that the death was accidental , and Peterson ended up adopting the woman 's two daughters . The prosecution introduce this death into the trial as an incident giving Peterson the idea of how to `` fake '' Kathleen 's accident . During the trial , Peterson 's daughters stand steadfastly by their father . The prosecution argues that Kathleen had discovered that Michael was bisexual and had been having affairs with men , which led to an argument in which he bludgeoned her to death . Peterson claimed that his wife knew about his sexuality and that they had an open marriage . He claims to have been outside by their pool when Kathleen fell down the stairs and injured herself . A defense team recreation shows that it would have been possible for Peterson to have missed his wife 's cries for help had he been by the pool . The jury ultimately convicts Peterson . Reception ( edit ) Reviews for The Staircase were generally positive . The film received an `` exceptional quality '' rating ( 8.5 out of 10 ) from Documentary-Review.com based on 9 reviews .

On November 23 , 2015 , Lestrade announced a second follow - up film at the IDFA Forum .

It is part of the Kiwanis Ski Club and hosts annual FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup competitions . `` Pine Mountain Slide is known throughout the world as one of the better jumping hills . '' Annually in February , it `` hosts jumpers from around the world at the best tournament in the United States . '' Top - rated foreign jumpers compete . Currently ( excluding ski flying hills ) Pine Mountain holds the U.S. records for the longest jump in World Cup competition at 140m ( 459 feet ) , as well as the overall distance record at 143.5 m ( 471 feet ) . The facility also includes two smaller ski jumping hills that are built into the hill northwest of the large hill . Attendance is about 20,000 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Specifications 2 History 3 Jump Records 4 List of Events Held 5 Getting there 6 References 7 External links Specifications ( edit ) Scaffold height : 176 feet ( 54 m ) Scaffold length : 117m Length of underhill ( end of take - off to outrun ) : 632 feet ( 193 m ) Length of underhill ( end of scaffold to end of outrun ) : 1,032 feet ( 315 m ) Critical point ( K - point ) of landing hill : 394 feet ( 120 m ) Hill Size ( HS ) : 133m Pitch of landing hill : 39 ° Estimated speed of skiers at takeoff ( variable depending on wind and other factors ) : 55 -- 65 mph ( 89 -- 105 km / h ) History ( edit ) Construction of the jump began in 1937 and was completed in 1938 . At the time it was 156 feet ( 48 m ) high . It hosted its first competition in 1939 . In 1948 , the outrun was dug out , and in 1977 the inrun tower was made larger ( to the current 176 feet ( 54 m ) ) after a fire . There have been numerous other renovations over the years . In 1996 and 2000 the hill hosted the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup , bringing in 20,000 spectators . However , it has not hosted one since , and now hosts annual FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup competitions . Locally known as `` Giant Pine Mountain , '' it is reputed worldwide to be one of the best ski jumping facilities . The ski jumping fans are said to be friendly . It is also considered by most jumpers as the most challenging jump on the Continental Cup circuit and in the world . This partly is due to the fact that the top of the jump is nearly 600 feet above all of the surrounding landscape giving the jumpers the same view that they would have if they were standing on top of a 60 story skyscraper . Also , because of the jump and hill 's high rise above the surrounding landscape there is a significant wind factor for jumpers making it more challenging . Excluding ski flying hills , the Pine Mountain Ski Jump is the largest ski jump in the United States and it is between the 3rd and 8th tallest man - made ski jump in the world ( depending on how height is measured ) . There are two other ski jumps in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan : Copper Peak is the only Ski flying venue in the western hemisphere , located near Ironwood , Michigan ( and has been called `` Suicide hill '' ) , as well as the pre-existing Suicide Hill Ski Jump located at Ishpeming , Michigan , which is near the National Ski Hall of Fame .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Synopsis 2 Characters 2.1 Main characters 2.2 Recurring characters 3 Production 4 Episodes 5 Comic 6 Reception 6.1 Ratings 6.2 Critical reviews 7 References 8 External links Synopsis ( edit ) The series follows a group of park rangers as they work through their daily lives in the fictional Brickleberry National Park near Hazlehurst in the Driftless Region of Illinois . Characters ( edit ) Main characters ( edit ) Steve Williams ( voiced by David Herman ) -- Steve is an overconfident , bumbling park ranger who takes himself and his job way too seriously . Even though he has been `` Ranger of the Month '' at Brickleberry for several years , he does not appear to display good skills or even common sense . Steve 's `` Ranger of the Month '' title means everything to him and he will do anything to keep it . Despite his extreme lack of intelligence , he knows the Brickleberry park very well because his father was also a Brickleberry ranger , so Steve was raised in the park . He dreamed of working at Brickleberry since he was a child in order to follow in his father 's footsteps . He is shown to have a man crush on Viggo Mortensen . Woodrow `` Woody '' Johnson ( voiced by Tom Kenny ) -- Woody is a 55 - year - old , abrasive ranger with a military background . In the `` Crippleberry '' episode , he mentions to Steve that he is technically a war criminal . He worked his way up to head ranger over his 30 - year career at Brickleberry . He worked alongside Steve 's father , but never searched for him when Jonah went missing . He always has the park 's best interest in mind and struggles to boost the dwindling tourism numbers by any means . In `` 2 Weeks Notice '' , he accidentally confesses to Malloy that when his mother died , his father forced him to dress up in her lingerie , implying that he may have been sexually abused by his father . It is also revealed in season 2 that Woody was a former porn star named Rex Erection . Ethel Anderson ( voiced by Kaitlin Olson in season 1 , Natasha Leggero in season 2 and 3 ) -- Ethel is an attractive , 25 - year - old female ranger . She was the top ranger at Yellowstone and was transferred to Brickleberry in an effort to get the park back on track ( and because she was fired from Yellowstone for being drunk on the job ) . She is passionate for animals and nature and does her best to treat her co-workers kindly . Steve sees Ethel as a threat to his Ranger of the Month title , while Ethel sees Steve as a bumbling idiot . Ethel possesses extraordinary ranger skills , but is much more humble than Steve . Denzel Jackson ( voiced by Jerry Minor ) -- Denzel is a black ranger who is horrible at his job , but ca n't be fired because he works for a government agency . Denzel is a gerontophile , which occasionally gets him into hot water . Denzel finds his job challenging because he 's afraid of bugs , snakes , and pretty much anything else that inhabits the woods . It was revealed in the first season that his father and father 's father and grandfather 's father were undercover cops , but Denzel has no interest in following in their footsteps . For the rest of the series it is not mentioned again . Connie Cunaman ( voiced by Roger Black ) -- Connie is a lesbian female ranger who has a large body , immense strength , and a deep voice that is often mistaken for a male . In `` Gay Bomb '' , Connie admits she is a lesbian and it is revealed to the viewers that her strength is dubbed by her as `` lesbian strength '' . Connie is capable of lifting massive objects , such as trees , bears , and even a real bomb . She is obsessed with Ethel and was turned away by her Evangelical parents for being a homosexual . On a side note , when Connie gets excited , her vagina makes growling noises similar to that of a stomach , requiring her to talk it down like a wild animal . Malloy ( voiced by Daniel Tosh ) -- Malloy is the last surviving member of his species Ursus loquacious that Woody has taken in and spoiled after Steve accidentally ran over and shot his parents , telling him a tourist did it . Woody lets him play video games all day and eat junk food . Malloy is very crude , racist , sexist , has a superiority complex , and in some ways is a narcissist . He openly hates the rangers and in addition , he enjoys putting them down and messing with them on a daily basis , especially Steve . Recurring characters ( edit ) Bobby Possumcods ( voiced by Waco O'Guin ) -- Bobby is a redneck that lives in the park . He `` loves '' animals a bit too much and Malloy got a taste of this first hand in the season one premiere . O'Guin has been portraying the live action version of Possumcods for years in O'Guin and Black 's underground comedy called `` The DAMN ! Show '' . Bodean ( voiced by Roger Black ) -- Bodean is Bobby 's sidekick and best friend . He is known to speak very fast and sometimes for a long time . Firecracker Jim ( voiced by Roger Black ) -- A local redneck who sells illegal fireworks . He has stumps since he blew off his arms and legs a while ago , and rolls around everywhere as a result . Dr. Kuzniak ( voiced by Tom Kenny ) -- Brickleberry 's personal doctor . He has a strange fetish of medical malpractice . He also has some shady criminal intents such as medical waste dumping and dealings with the `` Chinese Black Market '' . Jorge ( voiced by David Herman ) -- A foreign man who owns the local strip club . He seems to be very clueless and gullible . Production ( edit ) The support of comedian Daniel Tosh was integral in getting the series picked up . The series ' creators , Waco O'Guin and Roger Black , met at the University of Georgia in 1999 . The series ' origin came from O'Guin's father - in - law , a retired park ranger who took his job very seriously . He and Black found his seriousness hilarious , and began first envisioning the show in 2003 . The two began pitching Brickleberry as a live - action program after the cancellation of their sketch comedy show Stankervision on MTV2 . It was adapted for animation because of budget concerns . Fox Broadcasting Company ordered a pilot episode in 2007 , but passed on the series , finding it too offensive . The duo 's agent at William Morris Agency connected them with comedian Daniel Tosh , then growing in popularity due to his Comedy Central series Tosh. 0 . Tosh had been looking for other projects outside of his program and put his support behind the show , which they pitched to Comedy Central . The network wanted them to develop another pilot pitch , which they refused , taking it to Adult Swim , who were prepared to order 10 episodes of the comedy . Comedy Central then relented and purchased the show , ordering a 10 - episode first season in 2011 . In commenting on the series ' humor , O'Guin felt that all targets are `` fair game '' : `` If you 're clever and do n't just try to shock for shock sake , you can make most anything funny . '' Anticipating concerns that the show would be too similar to Family Guy , the show 's writing imposed a rule of fewer pop culture references , in order to differentiate the two . Episodes ( edit ) Main article : List of Brickleberry episodes Season Episodes Originally aired First aired Last aired 10 September 25 , 2012 ( 2012 - 09 - 25 ) December 4 , 2012 ( 2012 - 12 - 04 ) 13 September 3 , 2013 ( 2013 - 09 - 03 ) November 26 , 2013 ( 2013 - 11 - 26 ) 13 September 16 , 2014 ( 2014 - 09 - 16 ) April 14 , 2015 ( 2015 - 04 - 14 ) Comic ( edit ) In 2016 , a 4 - issue comic miniseries , published by Dynamite Entertainment , was released , written by co-creators , Waco O'Guin and Roger Black and illustrated by Timothy Hopkins . The comic featured the storyline , `` ArMOOgeddon '' , which takes place in the future , with Steve as the last remaining park ranger after an Alien Cow invasion , but , with the help of Dr. Kuzniak , he travels back in time to 2015 to kill Woody , whose actions led to the invasion and the destruction of all humanity . The Bovine Overlord though sends Bobby back in time to thwart Future Steve 's plans , but Malloy teams up with Future Steve to help him kill Woody . When his plan fails , Future Steve returns to the future to rally the remaining park rangers to overthrow the Bovine Overlord . Reception ( edit ) Ratings ( edit ) The series followed the Tosh. 0 fall seasons on Tuesday nights . In its first season , the series averaged 1.9 total million viewers each week , doing particularly well with male demographics , ages 18 -- 24 . In its second season , the show averaged 1.6 million viewers , and was number one in all of television in its time slot with men , ages 18 -- 24 . The series ' third season saw ratings fall to 1.2 million viewers per episode , while remaining strong with younger demographics . Critical reviews ( edit ) The show arrived to mixed reviews from critics . Dylan P. Gadino of Laugh Spin called Brickleberry `` fast - paced and hilarious . '' Ray Rahman of Entertainment Weekly said the show `` tends to rise above your average adult - animation fare . '' Brickleberry raises the offensive comedy stakes so high that it leaves a viewer waiting in expectation for the next tasteless joke . Because the show ca n't sustain such jokes constantly , there 's a lot of down time between the outrageous . During these valleys , Brickleberry grows dull . `` '' Rob Owen , Pittsburgh Post-Gazette However , some found the show more offensive than humorous . Dennis Perkins of The A.V. Club commented that `` Brickleberry hails from the ' deliberately provocative ' school of comedy , where obviously offensive things are tossed out for shock value and if you do n't laugh , you 're a tight - ass who does n't get the other levels to the jokes . '' Ross Bonaime of Paste gave the show a 0.5 out 10 , writing that `` Brickleberry is poorly constructed , horribly executed and groan - worthy rather than funny in any way . It 's a show that 's actually painful to watch , because it keeps finding new depths of tasteless jokes without any punchline that are worse than the ones that preceded them . '' Many reviewers compared the show unfavorably to Family Guy and South Park . Brian Lowry of Variety lamented the show 's eagerness to offend : Yes , South Park has long since established animation is a fine place to skewer sacred cows , but Brickleberry has nothing more on its mind than seeing how far it can push the boundaries of dick and handicapped jokes . As a consequence , the premise ( a second - rate national park ) is purely incidental . IGN 's Jesse Schedeen felt the show did not live up to Comedy Central 's past animated efforts , deeming it `` a slap to the face of that legacy ( ... In South Park ) , there 's always an underlying sense of humanity to offset the humor . Brickleberry lacks that . '' The series creators acknowledged the influence , saying : `` Family Guy and South Park paved the way for us .

"Ethel Anderson (voiced by Kaitlin Olson in season 1, Natasha Leggero in season 2 and 3) – Ethel is an attractive, 25-year-old female ranger. She was the top ranger at Yellowstone and was transferred to Brickleberry in an effort to get the park back on track (and because she was fired from Yellowstone for being drunk on the job). She is passionate for animals and nature and does her best to treat her co-workers kindly. Steve sees Ethel as a threat to his Ranger of the Month title, while Ethel sees Steve as a bumbling idiot. Ethel possesses extraordinary ranger skills, but is much more humble than Steve."

1053201389016738752 | Hurricane Charley | Hurricane Charley - wikipedia Hurricane Charley Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the Atlantic hurricane of 2004 . For other storms of the same name , see Hurricane Charley ( disambiguation ) . Hurricane Charley Category 4 major hurricane ( SSHWS / NWS ) Hurricane Charley near peak intensity shortly before landfall in Florida on August 13 Formed August 9 , 2004 Dissipated August 15 , 2004 ( Extratropical after August 14 ) Highest winds 1 - minute sustained : 150 mph ( 240 km / h ) Lowest pressure 941 mbar ( hPa ) ; 27.79 inHg Fatalities 15 direct , 20 indirect Damage $16.3 billion ( 2004 USD ) Areas affected Jamaica , Cayman Islands , Cuba , Florida , South Carolina , North Carolina Part of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season Hurricane Charley was the third named storm , the second hurricane , and the second major hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season . Charley lasted from August 9 to August 15 , and at its peak intensity it attained 150 mph ( 240 km / h ) winds , making it a strong Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir - Simpson Hurricane Scale . It made landfall in southwestern Florida at maximum strength , making it the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Hurricane Andrew struck Florida in 1992 . After moving slowly through the Caribbean Sea , Charley crossed Cuba on Friday , August 13 as a Category 3 hurricane , causing heavy damage and four deaths . That same day , it crossed over the Dry Tortugas , just 22 hours after Tropical Storm Bonnie had struck northwestern Florida . It was the first time in history that two tropical cyclones struck the same state in a 24 - hour period . At its peak intensity of 150 mph ( 240 km / h ) , Hurricane Charley struck the northern tip of Captiva Island and the southern tip of North Captiva Island , before crossing over Bokeelia causing severe damage . Charley , the strongest hurricane to hit southwest Florida since Hurricane Donna in 1960 , then continued to produce severe damage as it made landfall on the peninsula in Punta Gorda . It continued to the north - northeast along the Peace River corridor , devastating Punta Gorda , Port Charlotte , Cleveland , Fort Ogden , Nocatee , Arcadia , Zolfo Springs , Sebring , and Wauchula . Zolfo Springs was isolated for nearly two days as masses of large trees , power poles , power lines , transformers , and debris filled the streets . Wauchula sustained gusts to 147 mph ( 237 km / h ) ; buildings in the downtown areas caved onto Main Street . Ultimately , the storm passed through the central and eastern parts of the Orlando metropolitan area , still carrying winds gusting up to 106 mph ( 171 km / h ) . The city of Winter Park , north of Orlando , also sustained considerable damage since its many old , large oak trees had not experienced high winds . Falling trees tore down power utilities and smashed cars , and their huge roots lifted underground water and sewer utilities . The storm slowed as it exited the state over Ormond Beach just north of Daytona Beach . The storm was ultimately absorbed by a front in the Atlantic Ocean shortly after sunrise on August 15 , near southeastern Massachusetts . Damage in the state totaled to over $13 billion ( 2004 USD ) . Charley initially was expected to hit further north in Tampa , and caught many Floridians off - guard due to a sudden change in the storm 's track as it approached the state . Throughout the United States , Charley caused 10 deaths and $15.4 billion in damage to insured residential property , making it the second costliest hurricane in United States history at the time ( it has since dropped to ninth ) . Charley was a compact , fast - moving storm , which limited the scope and severity of the damage . Contents ( hide ) 1 Meteorological history 2 Preparations 3 Impact 3.1 Caribbean Sea 3.2 Florida 3.3 Rest of United States 4 Aftermath 4.1 Retirement 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 External links Meteorological history ( edit ) Map plotting the track and intensity of the storm , according to the Saffir -- Simpson scale Charley began as a tropical wave that moved off the west coast of Africa on August 4 . It moved quickly westward and steadily organized over the open Atlantic Ocean , with convection developing in curved bands . The wave continued to develop as it approached the Lesser Antilles , and became Tropical Depression Three on August 9 while 115 mi ( 185 km ) south - southeast of Barbados , near the island of Grenada , however , the threat to Barbados was short - lived . Low upper - level wind shear and well - defined outflow contributed to further intensification , and the depression strengthened on August 10 , despite being located in the eastern Caribbean Sea , which is an area not particularly suited to tropical cyclogenesis . At this time , the National Hurricane Center in Miami designated the name `` Charley . '' Hurricane Charley approaching Cuba on August 12 A strong ridge of high pressure to the system 's north forced Charley to change track quickly to the west - northwest . It continued to strengthen and became a Category 1 hurricane on August 11 , while 90 mi ( 140 km ) south of Kingston , Jamaica . The storm was being steered around the periphery of the high pressure area , and as a result , Charley changed direction toward the northwest . The following day , the core passed 40 mi ( 64 km ) southwest of Jamaica , affecting the island on August 11 and 12 . The storm then passed 15 mi ( 24 km ) northeast of Grand Cayman , reaching Category 2 status just after passing the island . The hurricane continued to strengthen as it turned to the northwest and rounded the southwest portion of the subtropical ridge , becoming a major hurricane -- a storm classified as a Category 3 hurricane or higher -- just before making landfall on southern Cuba . Charley came ashore near Punta Cayamas with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph ( 190 km / h ) and gusts of up to 133 mph ( 214 km / h ) , at about 0430 UTC on August 13 . It weakened while crossing the island , passing about 15 mi ( 24 km ) west of downtown Havana before weakening to 110 mph ( 180 km / h ) . After crossing Cuba near Menelao Mora , Hurricane Charley accelerated to the north - northeast , toward the southwest coast of Florida in response to the approach of an unseasonal mid-tropospheric trough . Charley passed over the Dry Tortugas at 1200 UTC on August 13 , with maximum winds of about 110 mph ( 180 km / h ) . The strike occurred only 22 hours after Tropical Storm Bonnie made landfall on St. Vincent Island , marking the first time two tropical cyclones hit the same state within a 24 - hour period . Then Charley rapidly intensified , strengthening from a 110 mph ( 180 km / h ) hurricane with a minimum central barometric pressure of 965 mbar ( hPa ; 28.50 inHg ) to a 145 mph ( 233 km / h ) hurricane with a pressure of 947 mbar ( hPa ; 27.96 inHg ) in just three hours . It continued to strengthen as it turned more to the northeast , and made landfall near the island of Cayo Costa , Florida as a 150 mph ( 240 km / h ) Category 4 hurricane with a pressure of 941 mbar ( hPa ; 27.79 inHg ) at approximately 1945 UTC on August 13 . An hour later , the hurricane struck Punta Gorda as a 145 mph ( 233 km / h ) storm and then passed up through Port Charlotte . However , the eye had shrunk before landfall , limiting the most powerful winds to an area within 7 mi ( 11 km ) of the center . Charley weakened considerably due to its passage over land , but still retained sustained winds of about 85 mph ( 137 km / h ) as it passed directly over Orlando between 0020 and 0140 UTC August 14 , ; gusts of up to 106 mph ( 171 km / h ) were recorded at Orlando International Airport . It cut a swath of destruction across Florida , also passing near Kissimmee . The hurricane reemerged into the Atlantic Ocean after crossing directly over New Smyrna Beach as a Category 1 hurricane , but restrengthened slightly over open waters . Continuing to move rapidly to the north - northeast , Charley struck near Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge , South Carolina as an 80 mph ( 130 km / h ) hurricane , moved offshore briefly , and made its final landfall near North Myrtle Beach as a minimal hurricane , with winds of 75 mph ( 121 km / h ) . Charley then began interacting with an approaching frontal boundary , becoming a tropical storm over southeastern North Carolina . After moving back into the Atlantic Ocean near Virginia Beach on August 15 , the storm became extratropical and became embedded in the frontal zone . The extratropical storm continued to move rapidly to the northeast , and was completely absorbed by the front shortly after sunrise on August 15 , near southeastern Massachusetts . Preparations ( edit ) NEXRAD image of Hurricane Charley over Punta Gorda , Florida just after landfall . On August 10 , two days before the hurricane passed near the island , Jamaican officials issued a tropical storm warning , which was upgraded to a hurricane warning a day later . In Jamaica , the threat of the storm forced the country 's two airports to close , and also forced two cruise ships to reroute . The Cayman Islands issued a hurricane warning on August 11 , a day before the hurricane passed near the archipelago . Cuban government officials issued a hurricane watch for the southern coastline on August 11 , two days before the hurricane struck the island . This was upgraded to a hurricane warning on the 12th , 13 1⁄2 hours before Charley made landfall . Because of the threat , the government issued a mandatory evacuation for 235,000 citizens and 159,000 animals in the area of the expected impact . An additional 3,800 residents were evacuated from offshore islands , while 47,000 in Havana were transported from old , unsafe buildings to safer areas . The people were transported to shelters provisioned with supplies . In addition , the power grid in southern Cuba was turned off to avoid accidents . On August 11 , Florida governor Jeb Bush issued a state of emergency declaration due to the impending threat Charley presented to the state while the storm was still located south of Jamaica . The National Hurricane Center issued hurricane warnings for the Florida Keys and from Cape Sable to the mouth of the Suwannee River a day prior to Charley 's passage through the state , while tropical storm warnings were issued elsewhere throughout Florida . Because of the threat , 1.9 million people along the Florida west coast were urged to evacuate , including 380,000 residents in the Tampa Bay area , and 11,000 in the Florida Keys . It was the largest evacuation order for Pinellas County history , and the largest evacuation request in Florida since Hurricane Floyd five years before . Many Floridians remained despite the evacuation order , as authorities estimated that up to a million people would not go to shelters ; instead , these residents boarded up their homes and bought supplies to ride out the storm . However , about 1.42 million people evacuated their homes in Florida , and approximately 50,000 residents were placed in shelters throughout the state . Power companies mobilized workers to prepare for the expected widespread power outages . MacDill Air Force Base , home of U.S. Central Command ( USCENTCOM ) and the U.S. military center for the Iraq War , severely limited its staff on base , shifting most of its operations to its forward headquarters in Doha , Qatar . Similarly , Kennedy Space Center , which usually counts with 13,000 on - site personnel , reduced its staff to only 200 people in preparation for the hurricane , and secured all Space Shuttles by sealing them in their hangars . Many amusement parks in the Orlando area closed early , and Walt Disney World 's Animal Kingdom remained closed . This was only the second time in history that a Disney park was closed due to a hurricane , with the other occurrence being after Hurricane Floyd . The approaching hurricane also forced several cruise ships to reroute their paths , and forced rail service between Miami and New York to shut down . Charley making landfall on August 13 , 2004 . The rapid strengthening of Charley in the eastern Gulf of Mexico caught many by surprise . Around five hours before its Florida landfall , Charley was a strong Category 2 hurricane predicted to strengthen its strongest winds to 115 mph ( 185 km / h ) upon its landfall in the Tampa - Saint Petersburg area . About two hours before landfall , the National Hurricane Center issued a special advisory , notifying the public that Charley had become a 145 mph ( 233 km / h ) Category 4 hurricane , with a predicted landfall location in the Port Charlotte area . As a result of this change in forecast , numerous people in the Charlotte County area were unprepared for the hurricane , despite the fact that the new track prediction was well within the previous forecast 's margin of error . National Hurricane Center forecasting intern Robbie Berg publicly blamed the media for misleading residents into believing that a Tampa landfall was inevitable . In addition , he also stated that residents of Port Charlotte had ample warning , as a hurricane warning had been issued for the landfall area 23 hours before , and a hurricane watch had existed for 35 hours . Several local meteorologists , however , did depart from the official predictions of a Tampa Bay landfall as early as the morning of August 13 . Jim Farrell of WINK , Robert Van Winkle WBBH , Steve Jerve of WFLA in Tampa , Jim Reif of WZVN in Fort Myers , and Tom Terry of WFTV in Orlando , all broke with their national news forecasts and stated at around 1500 UTC that Charley was going to turn early , striking around Charlotte Harbor and traveling over Orlando , as would prove to be the case . Following the Florida landfall , Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue declared a state of emergency as a precaution against a 4 -- 7 ft ( 1.2 -- 2.1 m ) storm surge and price gouging . In South Carolina , Governor Mark Sanford declared a state of emergency as Charley approached its final landfall . Two coastal counties were forced to evacuate , with state troopers redirecting traffic further inland from Myrtle Beach . In all , 138,000 evacuated from the Grand Strand area . Impact ( edit ) Storm deaths by region Region Direct Indirect Total Jamaica 0 Cuba 0 Florida 9 20 29 Rhode Island 0 Total 15 20 35 One death in Jamaica , four deaths in Cuba , and ten deaths in the United States were directly attributed to Charley . Numerous injuries were reported , as well as 25 indirect deaths in the U.S. Property damage from Charley in the United States was estimated by the NHC to be $15.0 billion . At the time , this figure made Charley the second costliest hurricane in United States history , behind 1992 's Hurricane Andrew 's $43.7 billion . However , Charley has since dropped to ninth costliest , due to the damage caused by Hurricane Ivan later in the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season , Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Wilma in 2005 , Hurricane Ike in 2008 , Hurricane Irene in 2011 , Hurricane Sandy in 2012 , and Hurricane Harvey in 2017 . Caribbean Sea ( edit ) See also : Effects of Hurricane Charley in Jamaica Powerline in Cuba damaged by Hurricane Charley On Jamaica , strong winds caused moderate damage to the agricultural sector , with crop and livestock damage totaling to $1.44 million . As the storm traveled along the southwest coast of Jamaica , it caused heavy wind and rain damage . Damage was heaviest in Saint Elizabeth Parish , where 100 people had to be housed in six shelters . Strong winds downed trees and power lines , causing power outages and blocking roads . Throughout the country , Charley caused $4.1 million in damage and one fatality . In spite of the close approach that Charley made on the Cayman Islands , the islands were mostly spared , and were subjected to little damage . Rainfall was light , peaking at 0.9 inches ( 23 mm ) in Grand Cayman , while Cayman Brac reported tropical storm force winds .

In post-hurricane - season analysis , Charley was determined to have struck southern Cuba as a 120 mph ( 190 km / h ) hurricane ; the original estimate was revised based on a report of a 118 mph ( 190 km / h ) sustained wind measurement in Playa Baracoa , and meant that Charley was a major hurricane at landfall . The hurricane produced a storm surge of up to 13.1 ft ( 4.0 m ) in Playa Cajio ; on the other hand , Charley 's quick passage caused precipitation amounts to be small , with the largest total , 5.87 inches ( 149 mm ) occurring in Mariel . Strong wind gusts downed nearly 1,500 power lines and knocked over 28 large high tension wire towers at a power plant in Mariel . As a result , more than half of the electricity customers in Havana Province were left without power for 12 days after the storm , and all of Pinar del Río Province was without power for over 11 days . Blackouts continued in areas where power returned . The power outages resulted in lack of drinking water for numerous people , including no potable water in the city of Havana for four days . As a result , the Cuban government sent water tanks to satisfy the short term need . Similarly , there was a lack of gas for cooking for over a week . However , one Cuban government official stated that it could take up to two months for basic utilities to be returned to many isolated villages . Near its landfall location , Charley destroyed 290 of the 300 houses in the village , while over 70,000 homes in Havana were either damaged or destroyed . Numerous hotels reported damage , potentially impacting the important tourism industry in the country . Agricultural damage was heavy , with the hurricane damaging more than 3,000 agricultural institutions . Citrus officials estimated a loss of 15,000 metric tons of grapefruit on the Isle of Youth , while strong winds ruined 66,000 metric tons of citrus trees in the Havana area . Charley also destroyed around 57,000 acres ( 230 km2 ) of fruit trees in the Havana area . Approximately 95 % of the sugar cane , bean , and banana crops were affected in Cuban territory . In all , Charley was directly responsible for four deaths in Cuba , and was responsible for $923 million in property damage , primarily from agricultural losses . Florida ( edit ) Hurricane Charley severely affected the state of Florida . There were nine direct fatalities , 20 indirect fatalities , and numerous injuries attributed to the storm . Property damage was estimated at $5.4 billion , and approximately $285 million in agricultural damage . However , due to Charley 's speed ( it crossed the Florida peninsula in approximately seven hours ) and small size , rainfall along the eyewall was mostly limited to 4 -- 6 inches ( 10 -- 15 centimetres ) . While moving northward to the west of the Florida Keys , Charley produced moderate winds of 48 mph ( 77 km / h ) with gusts to 60 mph ( 97 km / h ) in Key West . The winds toppled a few trees , power lines , and unreinforced signs . A boat , knocked loose by strong waves , struck a power transmission line , causing widespread power outages from Marathon to Key West . On Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas , the hurricane produced an estimated storm surge of up to 6 ft ( 1.8 m ) . The surge , combined with incoming waves , caused extensive flooding in the park and damaged numerous docks . In spite of this , property damage was minimal in the area , totaling $160,000 . Damage in Captiva Island Hurricane Charley passed directly over Captiva Island near Cayo Costa with peak winds of 150 mph ( 240 km / h ) . The Category 4 hurricane produced an estimated storm surge of up to 6.5 ft ( 2.0 m ) on the island , which is lower than expected for a storm of its intensity . The decrease in the height of the surge was due to the hurricane 's small size and its rapid intensification just prior to landfall . Furthermore , the storm surge , combined with the strong pressure gradient , produced a 1⁄4 mi ( 450 m ) inlet on North Captiva Island , known as Charley 's Cut . Strong waves and storm surge caused severe beach erosion and dune damage at various locations . The storm severely damaged five houses , lightly damaged many others , and downed many trees on Gasparilla Island . At least half of the 300 homes on North Captiva Island were substantially damaged , including ten that were destroyed . On Captiva Island , the strong winds severely damaged most houses , as well as several recreational buildings . The city of Arcadia in DeSoto County saw extreme damage , in spite of being relatively further inland . About 95 % of the buildings in the downtown area saw some sort of damage . The only shelter in the town had its roof torn open by the wind , leaving 3,500 evacuees inside unprotected from the onslaught of the storm . Damage caused to a gas station by Hurricane Charley in Kissimmee , Florida . Hardee County saw property damage estimated at $750 million , along with six injuries , but no deaths were reported . Charley caused blackouts in the entire county , as well as damage to 3,600 homes and the destruction of 1,400 . A radio tower near Sebring was toppled , along with numerous trees and power poles along the north and east side of Highlands County . Additionally , there were several reports of severely damaged homes in Polk County near Babson Park and Avon Park . In Lake Wales , Florida , a sand mine lake encroached into State Road 60 due to wave action and swallowed a car . Additionally , Lake Wales saw 23,000 buildings damaged , as well as the destruction of 739 structures . Seven deaths were reported in the county , one of them determined to be direct . Throughout the rest of the islands in Sarasota , Charlotte , Lee , and Collier counties , strong winds from Hurricane Charley caused severe damage to hundreds of buildings and trees . Lee County also endured an 8 - foot ( 2.4 m ) storm surge . These counties were exposed to Charley 's eyewall , so they saw the most damage . Due to its small size , the area of most intense damage was located within a 10 - mi ( 16 - km ) band centered on Charley 's track , with additional heavy damage forming an outer band extending 7.5 mi ( 12.1 km ) to each side of the inner swath of damage . In Charlotte County , 80 % of buildings were damaged . President George W. Bush , aboard Marine One , surveys hurricane damage at a mobile home park in Fort Myers , Florida . On mainland Florida , Charley produced a peak storm surge of 10 -- 13 feet ( 3.0 -- 4.0 metres ) at Vanderbilt Beach near Naples , along with a much lower surge at its Punta Gorda landfall . The hurricane dropped generally light rainfall across Florida , with the maximum amount of 9.88 inches ( 251 mm ) occurring in Bud Slough in Sarasota County . In Punta Gorda 's airport , where the hurricane made landfall , wind speeds of up to 90 mph ( 140 km / h ) were measured , alongside gusts of up to 111 mph ( 179 km / h ) , before the instrument was blown apart , along with most of the planes and the airport itself . The Charlotte Regional Medical Center recorded an unofficial peak wind gust of 172 mph ( 277 km / h ) . Port Charlotte 's Saint Joseph 's Hospital had its roof blown away by Charley 's strong winds . Due to the compact nature of the hurricane , the storm 's radius of maximum sustained winds only extended a short distance from its center . In comparison , Fort Myers , which is only 25 mi ( 40 km ) from where Charley made landfall , experienced sustained winds of only 61 mph ( 98 km / h ) with gusts of 78 mph ( 126 km / h ) . In South Florida , Charley spawned several tornadoes , including a long - lived F2 that struck Clewiston , and five weak tornadoes near the point where the hurricane made landfall . Aerial image of destroyed homes in Punta Gorda The most severe damage from Hurricane Charley occurred in Charlotte County . In Boca Grande , numerous houses sustained extensive roof damage , while thousands of trees and power lines were uprooted or snapped . In Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda , many buildings , RVs , and mobile homes were completely destroyed , while other buildings were uproofed due to the powerful winds . Charley devastated Southwest Florida , causing $14.6 billion in property damage on the peninsula of Florida alone . Many towns such as Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte were leveled by the hurricane . Trees were downed and trailer parks were obliterated as far as Ormond Beach . Charley also caused considerable damage in the central and eastern parts of the state . Several possible tornadoes occurred , with severe thunderstorms during the duration of the storm . Winds were estimated to be at 80 mph ( 130 km / h ) sustained near , and to the north of Okeechobee , while winds at Orlando International Airport topped out at 105 mph ( 169 km / h ) in a gust . The storm caused 2 million customers to lose electricity in Florida . In some areas , power was not restored for weeks : 136,000 residents had no electricity a week after Charley 's landfall , and 22,000 customers , primarily from cooperatives , were still waiting for their service to be restored on August 26 . Citizens in Daytona Beach , New Smyrna Beach , and Port Orange in Southeastern Volusia County also dealt with storm surge from the St. Johns River and Halifax River , and Intracoastal Waterway as Charley passed over before re-emerging into the Atlantic Ocean . Further inland , Seminole County experienced some of the highest winds ever recorded from a hurricane in the area , with a gust of 97 mph ( 156 km / h ) in Longwood at 0407 UTC on August 14 and 101 mph ( 163 km / h ) in Altamonte Springs . Power was out in these areas for up to 12 days after the storm in some locations . Empty railroad hopper cars toppled over as a result of high winds from Hurricane Charley in Fort Meade Public schools in some counties in the path of the hurricane were scheduled to be closed for two weeks . In some areas this was necessary because the school buildings were damaged or destroyed : all 59 of Osceola County 's schools were damaged , and one - third of Charlotte County 's were destroyed by Charley 's impact . DeSoto County schools saw $6 million in damage , while Orange County Public Schools saw $9 million in damage to their educational infrastructure . Agricultural losses were heavy . In Florida , the second - largest producer of oranges in the world , damage to the citrus crop was estimated at $200 million , and caused a 50 % increase in the price of grapefruit juice . Charley , along with the other storms that hit Florida during 2004 , caused a total agricultural loss of $2.2 billion . Other crops , nurseries , buildings , and agricultural equipment also suffered . Rest of United States ( edit ) Main articles : Effects of Hurricane Charley in North Carolina and Effects of Hurricane Charley in South Carolina Hurricane Charley , just after its third US landfall in South Carolina Upon making landfall on northeastern South Carolina , Charley produced a storm tide that was unofficially measured to up to 7.19 ft ( 2.19 m ) in Myrtle Beach . Wind gusts were moderate , peaking at 60 mph ( 97 km / h ) in North Myrtle Beach , though there were several unofficial records of hurricane - force gusts . Charley produced moderate rainfall along its path , peaking at over 7 in ( 178 mm ) . Moderate winds knocked down numerous trees . Flash flooding occurred in Charleston County , causing drainage problems . Damage in South Carolina totaled to $20 million . In North Carolina , Charley produced an estimated storm surge of 2 -- 3 ft ( 0.61 -- 0.91 m ) , along with waves of up to 8 ft ( 2.4 m ) in height . This produced minor beach erosion along the coastline . Winds gusted from 60 to 70 mph ( 97 to 113 km / h ) , causing minor wind damage . Rainfall amounts in the state were moderate , ranging from 4 to 6 in ( 100 to 150 mm ) , but still caused flooding across seven North Carolina counties . The hurricane spawned five weak tornadoes across the state , including an F1 in Nags Head that damaged twenty structures . Charley destroyed 40 houses and damaged 2,231 , 231 severely , including 221 damaged beach homes in Sunset Beach . Damage was the greatest in Brunswick County , where wind gusts peaked at 85 mph ( 137 km / h ) . Crop damage was also heavy in Brunswick County , with 50 % of the tobacco crop lost and 30 % of the corn and vegetable fields destroyed . Strong winds downed trees and power lines , leaving 65,000 without power . Damage in North Carolina totaled to $25 million . Tropical Storm Charley produced wind gusts of up to 72 mph ( 116 km / h ) at Chesapeake Light in Virginia , causing scattered power outages . Rainfall was light , ranging from 2 to 3.7 in ( 51 to 94 mm ) . Charley produced one tornado in Chesapeake and one in Virginia Beach . In Rhode Island , one man drowned in a rip current . Aftermath ( edit ) Port Charlotte , September 16 , 2004 . Congressman Mark Foley ( right ) checks out the travel trailers that FEMA provides as temporary housing President George W. Bush declared Florida a federal disaster area . He later reflected on the government response to Charley : `` ... the job of the federal government and the state government is to surge resources as quickly as possible to disaster areas . And that 's exactly what 's happening now . We choppered over and saw the devastation of this area . A lot of people 's lives are turned upside down . We 've got ice and water moving in , trailers for people ... are moving in . The state is providing security ... There 's a lot of compassion moving in the area , the Red Cross is here . '' '' U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson released $11 million in additional aid and other assistance to Florida , with $10 million to be earmarked to Head Start facilities that need repair or new supplies , another $1 million was provided to the DeSoto Memorial Hospital in Arcadia and Osceola Regional Medical Center in Kissimmee , and $200,000 would be spent to provide services to senior citizens . Across Florida , 114 food service operations and eight comfort stations were set up . FEMA opened four disaster recovery centers . Retirement ( edit ) See also : List of retired Atlantic hurricane names Because of its effects in the United States , the name Charley was retired from the rotating lists of tropical cyclone names in the spring of 2005 by the World Meteorological Organization . As a result , the name will never again be used for a North Atlantic hurricane . The name was replaced with Colin for the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season .

"Hurricane Charley was the third named storm, the second hurricane, and the second major hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season. Charley lasted from August 9 to August 15, and at its peak intensity it attained 150 mph (240 km/h) winds, making it a strong Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. It made landfall in southwestern Florida at maximum strength, making it the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Hurricane Andrew struck Florida in 1992."

8118498099125524757 | Gram-negative bacteria | Gram - negative bacteria - wikipedia Gram - negative bacteria Jump to : navigation , search Microscopic image of gram - negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria ( pink - red rods ) Gram - negative bacteria are a group of bacteria that do not retain the crystal violet stain used in the gram - staining method of bacterial differentiation . They are characterized by their cell envelopes , which are composed of a thin peptidoglycan cell wall sandwiched between an inner cytoplasmic cell membrane and a bacterial outer membrane . Gram - negative bacteria are found everywhere , in virtually all environments on Earth that support life . The gram - negative bacteria include the model organism Escherichia coli , as well as many pathogenic bacteria , such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Neisseria gonorrhoeae , Chlamydia trachomatis , and Yersinia pestis . They are an important medical challenge , as their outer membrane protects them from many antibiotics ( including penicillin ) ; detergents that would normally damage the peptidoglycans of the ( inner ) cell membrane ; and lysozyme , an antimicrobial enzyme produced by animals that forms part of the innate immune system . Additionally , the outer leaflet of this membrane comprises a complex lipopolysaccharide ( LPS ) whose lipid A component can cause a toxic reaction when these bacteria are lysed by immune cells . This toxic reaction can include fever , an increased respiratory rate , and low blood pressure -- a life - threatening condition known as septic shock . Several classes of antibiotics have been designed to target gram - negative bacteria specifically , including aminoglycosides and carbapenems .

Historically , the kingdom Monera was divided into four divisions based on gram - staining : Firmacutes ( + ) , Gracillicutes ( − ) , Mollicutes ( 0 ) and Mendocutes ( var . ) . Since 1987 , the monophyly of the gram - negative bacteria has been disproven with molecular studies . However some authors , such as Cavalier - Smith still treat them as a monophyletic taxon ( though not a clade ; his definition of monophyly requires a single common ancestor but does not require holophyly , the property that all descendents be encompassed by the taxon ) and refer to the group as a subkingdom `` Negibacteria '' . Taxonomy ( edit ) This section may be too technical for most readers to understand . Please help improve it to make it understandable to non-experts , without removing the technical details . The talk page may contain suggestions . ( March 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Bacteria are traditionally divided into the two groups : gram - positive and gram - negative , based on their gram - staining response . Gram - positive bacteria are also referred to as monoderms having one membrane , and gram - negative bacteria are also referred to as diderms , having two membranes . These groups are often thought of as lineages , with gram - negative bacteria more closely related to one another than to gram - positive bacteria . While this is often true , the classification system breaks down in some cases . A given bacteria 's staining result , bacterial membrane organization , and lineage groupings do not always match up . Thus , gram - staining can not be reliably used to assess familial relationships of bacteria . However , staining often gives reliable information about the composition of the cell membrane , distinguishing between the presence or absence of an outer lipid membrane . Of these two structurally distinct groups of prokaryotic organisms , monoderm prokaryotes are indicated to be ancestral . Based upon a number of different observations including that the gram - positive bacteria are the major reactors to antibiotics and that gram - negative bacteria are , in general , resistant to them , it has been proposed that the outer cell membrane in gram - negative bacteria ( diderms ) evolved as a protective mechanism against antibiotic selection pressure . Some bacteria such as Deinococcus , which stain gram - positive due to the presence of a thick peptidoglycan layer , but also possess an outer cell membrane are suggested as intermediates in the transition between monoderm ( gram - positive ) and diderm ( gram - negative ) bacteria . The diderm bacteria can also be further differentiated between simple diderms lacking lipopolysaccharide ; the archetypical diderm bacteria , in which the outer cell membrane contains lipopolysaccharide ; and the diderm bacteria , in which the outer cell membrane is made up of mycolic acid ( e.g. Mycobacterium ) . In addition , a number of bacterial taxa ( including Negativicutes , Fusobacteria , Synergistetes , and Elusimicrobia ) that are either part of the phylum Firmicutes or branches in its proximity are also found to possess a diderm cell structure . However , a conserved signature indel ( CSI ) in the HSP60 ( GroEL ) protein distinguishes all traditional phyla of gram - negative bacteria ( e.g. , Proteobacteria , Aquificae , Chlamydiae , Bacteroidetes , Chlorobi , Cyanobacteria , Fibrobacteres , Verrucomicrobia , Planctomycetes , Spirochetes , Acidobacteria ) from these other atypical diderm bacteria as well as other phyla of monoderm bacteria ( e.g. , Actinobacteria , Firmicutes , Thermotogae , Chloroflexi ) . The presence of this CSI in all sequenced species of conventional lipopolysaccharide - containing gram - negative bacterial phyla provides evidence that these phyla of bacteria form a monophyletic clade and that no loss of the outer membrane from any species from this group has occurred . Example species ( edit ) The proteobacteria are a major phylum of gram - negative bacteria , including Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) , Salmonella , Shigella , and other Enterobacteriaceae , Pseudomonas , Moraxella , Helicobacter , Stenotrophomonas , Bdellovibrio , acetic acid bacteria , Legionella etc . Other notable groups of gram - negative bacteria include the cyanobacteria , spirochaetes , green sulfur , and green non-sulfur bacteria . Medically relevant gram - negative cocci include the four types that cause a sexually transmitted disease ( Neisseria gonorrhoeae ) , a meningitis ( Neisseria meningitidis ) , and respiratory symptoms ( Moraxella catarrhalis , Haemophilus influenzae ) . Medically relevant gram - negative bacilli include a multitude of species . Some of them cause primarily respiratory problems ( Klebsiella pneumoniae , Legionella pneumophila , Pseudomonas aeruginosa ) , primarily urinary problems ( Escherichia coli , Proteus mirabilis , Enterobacter cloacae , Serratia marcescens ) , and primarily gastrointestinal problems ( Helicobacter pylori , Salmonella enteritidis , Salmonella typhi ) . Gram - negative bacteria associated with hospital - acquired infections include Acinetobacter baumannii , which cause bacteremia , secondary meningitis , and ventilator - associated pneumonia in hospital intensive - care units . Bacterial transformation ( edit ) Transformation is one of three processes for horizontal gene transfer , in which exogenous genetic material passes from bacterium to another , the other two being conjugation ( transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells in direct contact ) and transduction ( injection of foreign DNA by a bacteriophage virus into the host bacterium ) . In transformation , the genetic material passes through the intervening medium , and uptake is completely dependent on the recipient bacterium . As of 2014 about 80 species of bacteria were known to be capable of transformation , about evenly divided between Gram - positive and Gram - negative bacteria ; the number might be an overestimate since several of the reports are supported by single papers . Transformation has been studied in medically important Gram - negative bacteria species such as Helicobacter pylori , Legionella pneumophila , Neisseria meningitidis , Neisseria gonorrhoeae , Haemophilus influenzae and Vibrio cholerae . It has also been studied in gram - negative species found in soil such as Pseudomonas stutzeri , Acinetobacter baylyi , and gram - negative plant pathogens such as Ralstonia solanacearum and Xylella fastidiosa . Medical treatment ( 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 . ( April 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) One of the several unique characteristics of gram - negative bacteria is the structure of the bacterial outer membrane . The outer leaflet of this membrane comprises a complex lipopolysaccharide ( LPS ) whose lipid portion acts as an endotoxin . If gram - negative bacteria enter the circulatory system , the liposaccharide can cause a toxic reaction . This results in fever , an increased respiratory rate , and low blood pressure . This may lead to life - threatening septic shock . The outer membrane protects the bacteria from several antibiotics , dyes , and detergents that would normally damage either the inner membrane or the cell wall ( made of peptidoglycan ) . The outer membrane provides these bacteria with resistance to lysozyme and penicillin . However , alternative medicinal treatments such as lysozyme with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid ( EDTA ) and the antibiotic ampicillin have been developed to combat the protective outer membrane of some pathogenic gram - negative organisms . Other drugs can also be used , significant ones being chloramphenicol , streptomycin , and nalidixic acid . Chloramphenicol is rarely used in the EU due to the association with drug induced pancytopenia . The pathogenic capability of gram - negative bacteria is often associated with certain components of their membrane , in particular , the LPS . In humans , the presence of LPS triggers an innate immune response , activating the immune system and producing cytokines ( hormonal regulators ) . Inflammation is a common reaction to cytokine production , which can also produce host toxicity . The innate immune response to LPS , however , is not synonymous with pathogenicity , or the ability to cause disease . Orthographic note ( edit ) The adjectives Gram - positive and Gram - negative derive from the surname of Hans Christian Gram ; as eponymous adjectives , their initial letter can be either capital G or lower - case g , depending on which style guide ( e.g. , that of the CDC ) , if any , governs the document being written .

-4746205020272235515 | Good-bye, My Lady | Good - Bye , My Lady - wikipedia Good - Bye , My Lady Jump to : navigation , search Good - bye , My Lady First edition Author James H. Street Country United States Language English Publisher J.B. Lippincott & Co . Publication date June 1954 Media type Print ( hardback & paperback ) Pages 222 pp Good - bye , My Lady is a novel by James H. Street about a boy and his dog . It was published by J.B. Lippincott Company in June 1954 and reprinted in paperback by Pocket Books in February 1978 . It is based on Street 's short story `` Weep No More , My Lady '' , which was published in the 6 December 1941 issue of The Saturday Evening Post . The novel was made into a film of the same name in 1956 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot summary 2 Major themes 3 Inspiration and 1942 sequel 4 1956 film 5 Footnotes Plot summary ( edit ) Skeeter is a 14 - year - old orphan who lives with his uncle Jesse in a one - room shack in the swamps of the Pascagoula River in Mississippi . He has heard the sound of a strange animal in the swamp near their shack , and one summer evening he convinces his uncle to help him go out and find it . When they do , they see it is a small animal with short red and white fur that makes a chuckling yodel sound and cleans itself like a cat . Jesse is unsure what the animal is , but Skeeter is convinced it is a dog . The next day , Jesse 's friend Alpheus `` Cash '' Evans , owner of the general store in the nearby village of Lystra , comes to help Skeeter and Jesse track down the animal . With Evans is his tracking dog Gabe and two vicious hog dogs named Bark and Bellow whom he keeps leashed . Evans releases Gabe at the spot where Skeeter and Jesse saw the animal , and Gabe eventually picks up its scent and starts tracking it . As they listen to Gabe tracking the animal it becomes clear that it is outrunning Gabe . It bursts into the clearing , and Evans releases Bark and Bellow . When the animal stands its ground and fights back against the hog dogs , Evans calls them off and allows it to escape . He acknowledges that Skeeter was right - the animal is a dog . The following day , Skeeter sets out to tame the dog . He is able to locate it , and it proves to be a friendly female who allows him to leash her and bring her with him to the shack . Jesse convinces Skeeter to let her off her leash , and she remains with them . Skeeter decides to name the dog Lady . Skeeter and Jesse take Lady out with them , and when Lady flushes a covey of quail Skeeter becomes determined to train her as a bird dog . However , Lady 's behavior makes it clear that she is someone else 's dog , and Skeeter fears that Evans will discover who her real owner is . Skeeter is horrified when Lady chases and kills a water rat , something no true bird dog will stoop to . He ties the half - eaten rat around her neck , and brings her back to the shack . There , he find Evans visiting with an English Setter he has just purchased . Evans had planned to give his new dog to Jesse and Skeeter to train ( for which he intended to pay them three dollars a week ) , but seeing Lady with her rat causes him to change his mind . When Skeeter apologizes afterwards , Jesse shrugs it off and tells him to concentrate on training Lady . Within a few months , Skeeter has trained Lady to cast and point like a proper bird dog . A visiting Evans sees Lady pointing at a clump of sage fifty yards away and refuses to believe she has detected birds from so far away . Jesse wagers the cost of a sawblade Evans had given him on credit that Lady is indeed pointing birds . Skeeter is privately dubious , but Jesse wins his bet when a covey of quail break from the sage . Evans is impressed , and he spreads the word about Skeeter 's remarkable dog . In time , Evans hears from a traveling salesman out of Mobile , Alabama that a kennel in Connecticut lost a Basenji near Pascagoula . The description of the lost dog , named Isis of the Blue Nile , matches Lady . A sorrowful Evans tells Jesse , who passes the word on to Skeeter . When Lady responds to the name Isis , Skeeter knows he has the lost Basenji , and decides to return her to her rightful owner . A wire is sent to the kennel , and a man named Walden Grover flies down from Connecticut to take possession of Lady . Skeeter himself must put Lady in the crate in Grover 's pickup truck , then watch as Grover drives off with her . Evans then asks Skeeter to finish training his English Setter , and the boy accepts . With the $100 reward Grover gave him , the boy buys his toothless uncle a set of false teeth , and puts a down payment on a 20 gauge shotgun for himself . Major themes ( edit ) Good - Bye , My Lady is a coming of age story . When Skeeter tames Lady , Jesse acknowledges the boy 's right to keep her , and defers to Skeeter in all matters concerning Lady . Skeeter 's growing maturity is also marked by his uncle 's willingness to allow him to drink coffee , which is regarded as an adult beverage . As the novel opens , Skeeter is not permitted to drink coffee . After he tames Lady , his uncle allows him heavily creamed coffee , and after he allows Grover to take Lady away , Jesse tells Evans that Skeeter ( whom he now refers to by his given name , Claude ) drinks his coffee black . James Street , a native of Mississippi , was politically liberal , and his fiction often involved an attempt to reconcile his heritage with his liberal views on race . Good - Bye , My Lady includes an African - American family , the Watsons , who own a 60 - acre ( 240,000 m ) farm across the river from Jesse and Skeeter . The Watsons ' eldest son , Gates , is a college graduate . Towards the end of the novel Skeeter learns that Gates Watson knew all along where Lady came from , and also about the reward for her return , but remained silent out of friendship for Skeeter . Inspiration and 1942 sequel ( edit ) English Basenji breeder Veronica Tudor - Williams tells of a letter she received from Street in 1942 saying that he first got the idea of writing about a Basenji after seeing a photograph of Veronica Tudor - Williams with some Basenjis in an American magazine . He also wrote that the reader reaction from his first story was so strong that he wrote a sequel , `` Please Come Home , My Lady '' , reuniting Skeeter with Lady . `` Please Come Home , My Lady '' appeared in the 11 April 1942 issue of The Saturday Evening Post . 1956 film ( edit ) After Street 's death , Warner Bros. pictures began production of a film version of the novel , starring Brandon deWilde as Skeeter , Walter Brennan as Uncle Jesse , Phil Harris as Cash Evans , and Sidney Poitier as Gates Watson . The film was produced by John Wayne 's Batjac Productions , directed by William A. Wellman , and the screenplay was written by Albert Sidney Fleishman . Veronica Tudor - Williams provided the Basenji , named My Lady of the Congo , who played Lady in the film , and also provided four additional dogs to serve as `` doubles '' for My Lady . After filming ended , My Lady was adopted by deWilde , and the other dogs were adopted by various members of the film crew . The film version was released on 12 May 1956 .

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 . ( November 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A roll of toilet paper . Toilet paper and toilet paper holder . Toilet paper is a tissue paper product people primarily use to clean the anus and surrounding area of fecal material after defecation and to clean the perineal area of urine after urination and other bodily fluid releases . It also acts as a layer of protection for the hands during these processes . It is sold as a long strip of perforated paper wrapped around a paperboard core for storage in a dispenser near a toilet . Most modern toilet paper in the developed world is designed to decompose in septic tanks , whereas some other bathroom and facial tissues are not . Toilet paper comes in various numbers of plies ( layers of thickness ) , from one - ply all the way up to six - ply , with more back - to - back plies granting greater strength and absorbency . The use of paper for hygiene has been recorded in China in the 6th century AD , with specifically manufactured toilet paper being mass - produced in the 14th century . Modern commercial toilet paper originated in the 19th century , with a patent for roll - based dispensers being made in 1883 .

The modern rolls in the background are for size comparison . Although paper had been known as a wrapping and padding material in China since the 2nd century BC , the first documented use of toilet paper in human history dates back to the 6th century AD , in early medieval China . In 589 AD the scholar - official Yan Zhitui ( 531 -- 591 ) wrote about the use of toilet paper : Paper on which there are quotations or commentaries from the Five Classics or the names of sages , I dare not use for toilet purposes . During the later Tang dynasty ( 618 -- 907 AD ) , an Arab traveller to China in the year 851 AD remarked : ... they ( the Chinese ) do not wash themselves with water when they have done their necessities ; but they only wipe themselves with paper . During the early 14th century , it was recorded that in modern - day Zhejiang province alone there was an annual manufacturing of toilet paper amounting to ten million packages of 1,000 to 10,000 sheets of toilet paper each . During the Ming dynasty ( 1368 -- 1644 AD ) , it was recorded in 1393 that an annual supply of 720,000 sheets of toilet paper ( two by three feet in size ) were produced for the general use of the imperial court at the capital of Nanjing . From the records of the Imperial Bureau of Supplies of that same year , it was also recorded that for the Hongwu Emperor 's imperial family alone , there were 15,000 sheets of special soft - fabric toilet paper made , and each sheet of toilet paper was even perfumed . Elsewhere , wealthy people wiped themselves with wool , lace or hemp , while less wealthy people used their hand when defecating into rivers , or cleaned themselves with various materials such as rags , wood shavings , leaves , grass , hay , stones , sand , moss , water , snow , ferns , plant husks , fruit skins , seashells , or corncobs , depending upon the country and weather conditions or social customs . In Ancient Rome , a sponge on a stick was commonly used , and , after use , placed back in a pail of vinegar . Several talmudic sources indicating ancient Jewish practice refer to the use of small pebbles , often carried in a special bag , and also to the use of dry grass and of the smooth edges of broken pottery jugs ( e.g. , Shabbat 81a , 82a , Yevamot 59b ) . These are all cited in the classic Biblical and Talmudic Medicine by the German physician Julius Preuss ( Eng . trans . Sanhedrin Press , 1978 ) . A print by William Hogarth entitled A Just View of the British Stage from 1724 depicting Robert Wilks , Colley Cibber , and Barton Booth rehearsing a pantomime play with puppets enacting a prison break down a privy . The `` play '' is composed of nothing but toilet paper , and the scripts for Hamlet , inter al. , are toilet paper . The 16th - century French satirical writer François Rabelais , in Chapter XIII of Book 1 of his novel sequence Gargantua and Pantagruel , has his character Gargantua investigate a great number of ways of cleansing oneself after defecating . Gargantua dismisses the use of paper as ineffective , rhyming that : `` Who his foul tail with paper wipes , Shall at his ballocks leave some chips . '' ( Sir Thomas Urquhart 's 1653 English translation ) . He concludes that `` the neck of a goose , that is well downed '' provides an optimum cleansing medium . The rise of publishing by the eighteenth century led to the use of newspapers and cheap editions of popular books for cleansing . Lord Chesterfield , in a letter to his son in 1747 , told of a man who purchased a common edition of Horace , of which he tore off gradually a couple of pages , carried them with him to that necessary place , read them first , and then sent them down as a sacrifice to Cloacina ; thus was so much time fairly gained ... In many parts of the world , especially where toilet paper or the necessary plumbing for disposal may be unavailable or unaffordable , toilet paper is not used . Also , in many parts of the world such as India , people consider using water a much cleaner and more sanitary practice than using paper . Cleansing is then performed with other methods or materials , such as water , for example using a bidet , a lota , rags , sand , leaves ( including seaweed ) , corn cobs , animal furs , sticks or hands ; afterwards , hands are washed with water and possibly soap . As a commodity `` Le Troubadour '' ( French ) -- 1960s package of toilet paper Joseph Gayetty is widely credited with being the inventor of modern commercially available toilet paper in the United States . Gayetty 's paper , first introduced in 1857 , was available as late as the 1920s . Gayetty 's Medicated Paper was sold in packages of flat sheets , watermarked with the inventor 's name . Original advertisements for the product used the tagline `` The greatest necessity of the age ! Gayetty 's medicated paper for the water - closet . '' Seth Wheeler of Albany , New York , obtained the earliest United States patents for toilet paper and dispensers , the types of which eventually were in common use in that country , in 1883 . The manufacturing of this product had a long period of refinement , considering that as late as the 1930s , a selling point of the Northern Tissue company was that their toilet paper was `` splinter free '' . Moist toilet paper , called wet wipes , was first introduced in the United Kingdom by Andrex in the 1990s , and in the United States by Kimberly - Clark in 2001 . It has been promoted as being a better method of cleaning than dry toilet paper after defecation , and may be useful for women during menstruation . It was promoted as a flushable product but it has been implicated in the creation of fatbergs . By 2016 , some municipalities had begun education campaigns advising people not to flush used wet wipes . More than seven billion rolls of toilet paper are sold yearly in the U.S. alone . Americans use an average of 23.6 rolls per capita per year . Description Toilet paper is available in several types of paper , a variety of patterns , decorations , and textures , and it may be moistened or perfumed , although fragrances sometimes cause problems for users who are allergic to perfumes . The average measures of a modern roll of toilet paper is c. 10 cm ( 315 / 16 in . ) wide , and 12 cm ( 423 / 32 in . ) in diameter , and weighs about 227 grams ( 8 oz . ) . An alternative method of packing the sheets uses interleaved sheets in boxes , or in bulk for use in dispensers . `` Hard '' single ply paper has been used as well as soft multi-ply . Size Manufactured toilet paper sheet in the United States was sized 41 / 2 '' × 41 / 2 `` . Since 1999 the size of a sheet has been shrinking ; Kimberly - Clark reduced the length of a sheet to 4.1 '' . Scott , in 2006 , reduced the length of their product to 3.7 `` . The width of sheets was later reduced giving a general sheet size of 3.7 '' long and 4.1 '' wide . Larger sizes remain available . This variability in size has resulted in some issues with toilet paper dispensers . Materials Toilet paper products vary greatly in the distinguishing technical factors , such as size , weight , roughness , softness , chemical residues , `` finger - breakthrough '' resistance , water - absorption , etc . The larger companies have very detailed , scientific market surveys to determine which marketing sectors require or demand which of the many technical qualities . Modern toilet paper may have a light coating of aloe or lotion or wax worked into the paper to reduce roughness . Quality is usually determined by the number of plies ( stacked sheets ) , coarseness , and durability . Low grade institutional toilet paper is typically of the lowest grade of paper , has only one or two plies , is very coarse and sometimes contains small amounts of embedded unbleached / unpulped paper . Mid-grade two ply is somewhat textured to provide some softness and is somewhat stronger . Premium toilet paper may have lotion and wax and has two to four plies of very finely pulped paper . If it is marketed as `` luxury '' , it may be quilted or rippled ( embossed ) , perfumed , colored or patterned , medicated ( with anti-bacterial chemicals ) , or treated with aloe or other perfumes . In order to advance decomposition of the paper in septic tanks or drainage , the paper used has shorter fibres than facial tissue or writing paper . The manufacturer tries to reach an optimal balance between rapid decomposition ( which requires shorter fibres ) and sturdiness ( which requires longer fibres ) . Compaction of toilet paper in drain lines , such as in a clog , prevents fiber dispersion and largely halts the breakdown process . A German quip says that the toilet paper of Nazi Germany was so rough and scratchy that it was almost unusable , so many people used old issues of the Völkischer Beobachter instead , because the paper was softer . Color and design Colored toilet paper in colors such as pink , lavender , light blue , light green , purple , green , and light yellow ( so that one could choose a color of toilet paper that matched or complemented the color of one 's bathroom ) was commonly sold in the United States from the 1960s . Up until 2004 , Scott was one of the last remaining U.S. manufacturers to still produce toilet paper in beige , blue , and pink . However , the company has since cut production of colored paper altogether . Today , in the United States , plain unpatterned colored toilet paper has been mostly replaced by patterned toilet paper , normally white , with embossed decorative patterns or designs in various colors and different sizes depending on the brand . Colored toilet paper remains commonly available in some European countries . An unintended problem with the design of the laminated construction of the sheets in a roll is that , on occasion whilst un-rolling , separation occurs between laminations rather than at the intended interface . Perforations then become misaligned and sheets can not be torn off cleanly . The problem is resolved by careful un-winding of one or more laminations until the perforations re-align . Installation Toilet paper is also used for spreading on seat before sitting Dispensers Main article : Toilet roll holder A toilet roll holder , also known as a toilet paper dispenser , is an item that holds a roll of toilet paper . There are at least seven types of holders : A horizontal piece of wire mounted on a hinge , hanging from a door or wall . A horizontal axle recessed in the wall . A vertical axle recessed in the wall A horizontal axle mounted on a freestanding frame . A freestanding vertical pole on a base . A wall mounted dispensing unit , usually containing more than one roll . This is used in the commercial / away - from - home marketplace . A wall mounted dispensing unit with tissue interfolded in a `` S '' type leave so the user can extract the tissue one sheet at a time . Some commercial or institutional toilet paper is wrapped around a cylinder to many times the thickness of a standard toilet paper roll . Orientation Main article : Toilet paper orientation There are two choices of orientation when using a holder with a horizontal axle parallel to the wall : the toilet paper may hang over or under the roll . The choice is largely a matter of personal preference , dictated by habit . In surveys of American consumers and of bath and kitchen specialists , 60 - 70 % of respondents prefer over . Decoration Main article : Hotel toilet paper folding Toilegami refers to toilet paper origami . Like table napkins , some fancy Japanese hotels fold the first squares of toilet paper on its dispenser to be presented in a fashionable way . Recreational use Main article : Toilet papering In the United States , toilet paper has been the primary tool in a prank known as `` TP - ing '' ( pronounced Teepeeing ) . TP - ing , or `` toilet papering '' , is often favored by adolescents and teenagers and is the act of throwing rolls of toilet paper over cars , trees , houses and gardens , causing the toilet paper to unfurl and cover the property , creating an inconvenient mess . `` spitballing '' or `` wet TP - ing '' . is where you wad up a handful of toilet paper , soaking it in water or any other liquid and throwing it at a target , usually the ceiling . The wad of toilet paper is usually adhesive due to its moist state , which causes it to stick to the target for maximum inconvenience . If left to dry it will be difficult to remove , especially in hard to reach areas , like the ceiling of a school bathroom . Children and cats have taken to unrolling an entire roll of toilet paper by spinning it until it completely unravels on the floor , or as a game by children wadding up one end , putting it in the toilet bowl without tearing and then using the flushing of the toilet to pull new paper into the toilet . The game being if you can keep flushing the entire roll down the toilet section at a time before the toilet paper breaks . Special toilet paper insert holder with an oblong shape were invented to prevent continuous unrolling without tearing to discourage this practice . Toilet paper pranks include musical toilet paper holders and inserts that are activated by the unrolling of the toilet paper and will loudly play an embarrassing song calling attention to the person defecating . Other gags include custom toilet paper printed with jokes , stories or politician 's images . Mechanics Alexander Balankin and coauthors have studied the behavior of toilet paper under tensile stress and during wetting and burning . Toilet paper has been used in physics education to demonstrate the concepts of torque , moment of inertia , and angular momentum ; and the conservation of momentum and energy . Environmental considerations Further information : environmental impact of paper One tree produces about 100 pounds ( 45 kg ) of toilet paper and about 83 million rolls are produced per day . Global toilet paper production consumes 27,000 trees daily . More than seven billion rolls of toilet paper are sold yearly in the United States alone . Americans use an average of 23.6 rolls per capita a year . The average American uses 50 pounds ( 23 kg ) of tissue paper per year which is 50 % more than the average of other Western countries or Japan . The higher use in the United States may be explained by the fact that other countries people use bidets or spray hoses to clean themselves . Millions of trees are harvested in North and South America leaving ecological footprint concerns . Citizens of many Western countries sometimes use toilet paper for industrial purposes such as oil filters , which may distort the use statistics . As of 2009 , between 22 % and 48 % of the toilet paper used in the United States comes from tree farms in the U.S. and South America , with most of the rest coming from second growth forests , and only a small percentage coming from virgin forests .

Part of a series of articles on John in the Bible Johannine literature Gospel Epistles First Second Third Revelation Events Authorship Apostle Beloved disciple Evangelist Patmos Presbyter Related literature Apocryphon Acts Signs Gospel See also Johannine Christianity Logos Holy Spirit in Johannine literature John 's vision of the Son of Man New Testament people named John Books of the New Testament Gospels Matthew Mark Luke John Acts Acts of the Apostles Epistles Romans 1 Corinthians 2 Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 1 Timothy 2 Timothy Titus Philemon Hebrews James 1 Peter 2 Peter 1 John 2 John 3 John Jude Apocalypse Revelation New Testament manuscripts The Gospel According to John ( Greek : Τὸ κατὰ Ἰωάννην εὐαγγέλιον , translit . Tò katà Iōánnēn euangélion ; also called the Gospel of John , the Fourth Gospel , or simply John ) is one of the four canonical gospels in the New Testament . It traditionally appears fourth , after the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew , Mark , and Luke . Although the Gospel of John is anonymous , Christian tradition historically has attributed it to John the Apostle , son of Zebedee and one of Jesus ' Twelve Apostles . The gospel is so closely related in style and content to the three surviving Johannine epistles that commentators treat the four books , along with the Book of Revelation , as a single corpus of Johannine literature , albeit not necessarily written by the same author . C.K. Barrett , and later Raymond E. Brown , suggested that a tradition developed around the `` Johannine Community '' , and that this tradition gave rise to the gospel . The discovery of a large number of papyrus fragments of manuscripts with Johannine themes has led more scholars to recognize that the texts were among the most influential in the early Church . The discourses contained in this gospel seem to be concerned with issues of the church -- synagogue debate at the time of composition . It is notable that in John , the community appears to define itself primarily in contrast to Judaism , rather than as part of a wider Christian community . Though Christianity started as a movement within Judaism , it gradually separated from Judaism because of mutual opposition between the two religions .

The structure is highly schematic : there are seven `` signs '' culminating in the raising of Lazarus ( foreshadowing the resurrection of Jesus ) , and seven `` I am '' sayings and discourses , culminating in Thomas 's proclamation of Jesus as `` my Lord and my God '' -- the same title ( dominus et deus ) claimed by Roman Emperor Domitian . Prologue ( edit ) Main article : Prologue to John Jesus is placed in his cosmic setting as the Logos made flesh who reveals God and gives salvation to believers ; John the Baptist , Andrew , and Nathanael bear witness to him as the Lamb of God , the Son of God , and the Christ . Book of signs ( edit ) Main article : Book of Signs The narrative of Jesus ' public ministry , beginning with the introduction of the first disciples of Jesus . It consists of seven miracles , or `` signs '' , interspersed with long dialogues , discourses , `` Amen , amen '' sayings , and `` I Am '' sayings , culminating with the raising of Lazarus from the dead . In John it is this , and not the cleansing of the Temple , that prompts the authorities to have Jesus executed . The seven signs consist of Jesus ' miracle at the wedding at Cana , his healing the royal official 's son , his healing the paralytic at Bethesda , his feeding the 5,000 , his walking on water , his healing the man born blind , and his raising Lazarus from the dead . Other incidents recounted in this segment of the gospel include the cleansing of the Temple ; Jesus ' conversation with the Pharisee Nicodemus , wherein he explains the importance of spiritual rebirth ; his conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well , wherein he gives the Water of Life Discourse ; the Bread of Life Discourse , which prompted many of his disciples to leave ; the Woman Taken in Adultery ; Jesus ' claims to be the Light of the World ; Jesus ' answer to Pilate ; the Good Shepherd pericope ; Jesus ' rejection by the Jews ; the Jesus wept ; the plot to kill Jesus ; the anointing of Jesus ; Jesus ' triumphal entry into Jerusalem ; the prediction of the glorification of the Son of Man ; and the prediction of the Last Judgment . Book of Glory ( edit ) Jesus giving the Farewell Discourse to his 11 remaining disciples , from the Maestà of Duccio , 1308 -- 1311 . The narrative of Jesus ' Passion , Resurrection , and post-Resurrection appearances . The Passion narrative opens with an account of the Last Supper that differs significantly from that found in the Synoptics , with Jesus washing the disciples ' feet instead of ushering in a new covenant of his body and blood . This is followed by Jesus ' Farewell Discourse , an account of his betrayal , arrest , trial , death , burial , post-Resurrection appearances , and final commission for his followers . It also includes Peter 's denial , the institution of the New Commandment and the New Covenant , the promise of the Paraclete , the allegory of the True Vine , the High Priestly Prayer , the ut omnes unum sint , the What is truth ? , Jesus ' mocking and crowning with thorns , the Ecce homo , the discovery of the empty tomb , the noli me tangere , the Great Commission , and the incredulity of Thomas . The section ends with a conclusion on the purpose of the gospel : `` that ( the reader ) may believe that Jesus is the Christ , the Son of God , and that believing you may have life in his name . '' Epilogue ( edit ) Main article : John 21 The narrative of Jesus ' post-Resurrection appearance to his disciples by the lake , the miraculous catch of fish , the prophecy of the crucifixion of Peter , the restoration of Peter , and the fate of the Beloved Disciple . A majority of modern scholars believes this chapter not to be integral to the original gospel . Composition and setting ( edit ) Authorship , date , and origin ( edit ) Main article : Authorship of the Johannine works A Syriac Christian rendition of St. John the Evangelist , from the Rabbula Gospels . Most scholars consider the Gospel of John to be anonymous . According to a Church tradition dating from the 2nd century , first attested by Irenaeus , the author was `` the Disciple whom Jesus loved '' mentioned in John 21 : 24 , who is understood to be John son of Zebedee , one of Jesus ' Twelve Apostles . These identifications , however , are rejected by many modern biblical scholars . Nevertheless , the author of the fourth Gospel is sometimes called John the Evangelist , often out of convenience since the definitive name of the author is still debated . John is usually dated to AD 90 -- 110 . It arose in a Jewish Christian community in the process of breaking from the Jewish synagogue . Scholars believe that the text went through two to three redactions , or `` editions '' , before reaching its current form . John , which regularly describes Jesus ' opponents simply as `` the Jews '' , is more consistently hostile to `` the Jews '' than any other body of New Testament writing . Historian and former Roman Catholic priest James Carroll states : `` The climax of this movement comes in chapter 8 of John , when Jesus is portrayed as denouncing ' the Jews ' who were gathered at the Temple as the offspring of Satan . '' In John 8 : 44 Jesus tells the Jews : `` You are of your father the devil , and the desires of your father you will do . He was a murderer from the beginning , and he stood not in the truth ; because truth is not in him . '' In 8 : 38 and 11 : 53 , `` the Jews '' are depicted as wishing to kill Jesus . However , Carroll cautions that this and similar statements in the Gospel of Matthew and the 1 Thessalonians should be viewed as `` evidence not of Jew hatred but of sectarian conflicts among Jews '' in the early years of the Christian church . As noted by New Testament scholar Obrey M. Hendricks , Jr. : `` Although its scathing portrayal of the Jews has opened John to charges of anti-Semitism , a careful reading reveals ' the Jews ' to be a class designation , not a religious or ethnic grouping ; rather than denoting adherents to Judaism in general , the term primarily refers to the hereditary Temple religious authorities . '' In later centuries , John was used to support anti-Semitic polemics , but the author of the gospel regarded himself as a Jew , championed Jesus and his followers as Jews , and probably wrote for a largely Jewish community . Sources ( edit ) Rudolf Bultmann , in a seminal work published in 1941 , argued that John 's sources were a hypothetical `` Signs Gospel '' listing Christ 's miracles , a revelation discourse , and a passion narrative . Bultmann 's work , combined with that of other scholars ( the work of Raymond E. Brown was particularly influential in the English - speaking world ) , led to a scholarly consensus in the second half of the 20th century that the Gospel of John was independent of Matthew , Mark , and Luke , known as the `` Synoptic Gospels . '' This agreement broke down in the last decade of the century , and there are now many scholars who believe that John did know the Synoptics , especially Mark , while the hypothesis of a `` signs '' source has been increasingly undermined . But theories of either complete independence or complete dependence on the Synoptics are largely rejected in current scholarship : on the one hand , elements such as distinctive Johannine language , the lengthy discourses , and the prologue on the Logos , are clearly unique to John ; on the other , John clearly shares a multitude of episodes with the other three . The most important sources used by the evangelist were the Jewish scriptures ( the Tanakh , more or less identical with the Christian Old Testament ) , probably in the Greek translation . John quotes from them directly , references important figures from them , and uses narratives from them as the basis for several of the discourses . But the author was also familiar with non-Jewish sources : the Logos of the prologue ( the Word that is with God from the beginning of creation ) derives from both the Jewish concept of Lady Wisdom and from the Greek philosophers , while John 6 alludes not only to the exodus but also to Greco - Roman mystery cults , while John 4 alludes to Samaritan messianic beliefs . Historical Reliability ( edit ) Further information : Historicity of the Bible Chapters 19 and 21 of John hint that `` the Disciple whom Jesus loved '' , or `` the Beloved Disciple '' , was an eyewitness to Jesus ' ministry , but the majority of scholars are cautious of accepting this at face value . With the exception of the `` Johannine Thunderbolt '' passages , the teachings of Jesus found in the synoptic gospels are very different from those recorded in John , and since the 19th century some scholars have argued that these discourses in Johannine style are less likely to be historical , and more likely to have been written for theological purposes . Scholars usually agree that John is not entirely without historical value . It has become generally accepted that certain sayings in John are as old or older than their synoptic counterparts . His representation of the topography around Jerusalem is often superior to that of the Synoptics , his testimony that Jesus was executed before , rather than on , Passover , might well be more accurate , and his presentation of Jesus in the garden and the prior meeting held by the Jewish authorities are possibly more historically plausible than their synoptic parallels . Textual History and position in the New Testament ( edit ) Further information : Biblical manuscript The Rylands Papyrus is perhaps the earliest New Testament fragment ; dated from its handwriting to about 125 . Rylands Library Papyrus P52 , a Greek papyrus fragment with John 18 : 31 -- 33 on one side and 18 : 37 -- 38 on the other , commonly dated to the first half of the 2nd century , is the oldest New Testament manuscript known . A substantially complete text of John exists from the beginning of the 3rd century at the latest , so that the textual evidence for this gospel is commonly accepted as both earlier and more reliable than that for any other . John stands fourth in the standard ordering of the gospels , after Matthew , Mark and Luke . Theology ( edit ) Christology ( edit ) Further information : Christology The Gospel of John presents a `` high Christology , '' depicting Jesus as divine , and yet subordinate to the one God . John gives more focus to the relationship of the Son to the Father than the Synoptics , as seen in chapter 17 of the gospel . In the Synoptics , Jesus speaks often about the Kingdom of God while his own divine role is obscured ( see Messianic Secret ) , but in John , Jesus talks openly about his divine role , echoing the Jewish God 's own statement of identity `` I Am that I Am '' with several `` I Am '' declarations that also identify him with symbols of major significance . He says `` I am '' : `` the bread of life '' `` the light of the world '' `` the gate for the sheep '' `` the good shepherd '' `` the resurrection and the life '' `` the way and the truth and the life '' and `` the true vine '' Logos ( edit ) Main article : Logos ( Christianity ) In the prologue , John identifies Jesus as the Logos ( Word ) . In Ancient Greek philosophy , the term logos meant the principle of cosmic reason . In this sense , it was similar to the Hebrew concept of Wisdom , God 's companion and intimate helper in creation . The Hellenistic Jewish philosopher Philo merged these two themes when he described the Logos as God 's creator of and mediator with the material world . The evangelist adapted Philo 's description of the Logos , applying it to Jesus , the incarnation of the Logos . The opening verse of John is translated as `` the Word was with God and the Word was God '' in all `` orthodox '' English Bibles . There are alternative views . The Jehovah 's Witnesses ' New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures renders the verse as `` The Word was with God , and the Word was a god . '' The Scholars Version of the gospel , developed by the Jesus Seminar , loosely translates the phrase as `` The Logos was what God was , '' offered as a better representation of the original meaning of the evangelist . Cross ( edit ) The portrayal of Jesus ' death in John is unique among the four Gospels . It does not appear to rely on the kinds of atonement theology indicative of vicarious sacrifice ( cf . Mk 10 : 45 , Rom 3 : 25 ) but rather presents the death of Jesus as his glorification and return to the father . Likewise , the three `` passion predictions '' of the Synoptic Gospels ( Mk 8 : 31 , 9 : 31 , 10 : 33 -- 34 and pars . ) are replaced instead in John with three instances of Jesus explaining how he will be exalted or `` lifted up '' ( Jn 3 : 14 , 8 : 28 , 12 : 32 ) . The verb for `` lifted up '' reflects the double entendre at work in John 's theology of the cross , for Jesus is both physically elevated from the earth at the crucifixion but also , at the same time , exalted and glorified . Sacraments ( edit ) Further information : Sacrament Among the most controversial areas of interpretation of John is its sacramental theology . Scholars ' views have fallen along a wide spectrum ranging from anti-sacramental and non-sacramental , to sacramental , to ultra-sacramental and hyper - sacramental . Scholars disagree both on whether and how frequently John refers to the sacraments at all , and on the degree of importance he places upon them . Individual scholars ' answers to one of these questions do not always correspond to their answer to the other . Frequency of allusion ( edit ) According to Rudolf Bultmann , there are three sacramental allusions : one to baptism ( 3 : 5 ) , one to the Eucharist ( 6 : 51 -- 58 ) , and one to both ( 19 : 34 ) . He believed these passages to be later interpolations , though most scholars now reject this assessment . Some scholars on the weaker - sacramental side of the spectrum deny that there are any sacramental allusions in these passages or in the gospel as a whole , while others see sacramental symbolism applied to other subjects in these and other passages . Oscar Cullmann and Bruce Vawter , a Protestant and a Catholic respectively , and both on the stronger - sacramental end of the spectrum , have found sacramental allusions in most chapters . Cullmann found references to baptism and the Eucharist throughout the gospel , and Vawter found additional references to matrimony in 2 : 1 -- 11 , anointing of the sick in 12 : 1 -- 11 , and penance in 20 : 22 -- 23 . Towards the center of the spectrum , Raymond Brown is more cautious than Cullmann and Vawter but more lenient than Bultmann and his school , identifying several passages as containing sacramental allusions and rating them according to his assessment of their degree of certainty . Importance to the evangelist ( edit ) Most scholars on the stronger - sacramental end of the spectrum assess the sacraments as being of great importance to the evangelist . However , perhaps counterintuitively , some scholars who find fewer sacramental references , such as Udo Schnelle , view the references that they find as highly important as well . Schnelle in particular views John 's sacramentalism as a counter to Docetist anti-sacramentalism . On the other hand , though he agrees that there are anti-Docetic passages , James Dunn views the absence of a Eucharistic institution narrative as evidence for an anti-sacramentalism in John , meant to warn against a conception of eternal life as dependent on physical ritual . Individualism ( edit ) In comparison to the synoptic gospels , the Fourth Gospel is markedly individualistic , in the sense that it places emphasis more on the individual 's relation to Jesus than on the corporate nature of the Church . This is largely accomplished through the consistently singular grammatical structure of various aphoristic sayings of Jesus throughout the gospel . According to Richard Bauckham , emphasis on believers coming into a new group upon their conversion is conspicuously absent from John . There is also a theme of `` personal coinherence '' , that is , the intimate personal relationship between the believer and Jesus in which the believer `` abides '' in Jesus and Jesus in the believer . According to C.F.D. Moule , the individualistic tendencies of the Fourth Gospel could potentially give rise to a realized eschatology achieved on the level of the individual believer ; this realized eschatology is not , however , to replace `` orthodox '' , futurist eschatological expectations , but is to be `` only ( their ) correlative . '' Some have argued that the Beloved Disciple is meant to be all followers of Jesus , inviting all into such a personal relationship with Christ . Beyond this , the emphasis on the individual 's relationship with Jesus in the Gospel has suggested its usefulness for contemplation on the life of Christ . John the Baptist ( edit ) Further information : John the Baptist John 's account of the Baptist is different from that of the synoptic gospels . In this gospel , John is not called `` the Baptist . '' The Baptist 's ministry overlaps with that of Jesus ; his baptism of Jesus is not explicitly mentioned , but his witness to Jesus is unambiguous . The evangelist almost certainly knew the story of John 's baptism of Jesus and he makes a vital theological use of it . He subordinates the Baptist to Jesus , perhaps in response to members of the Baptist 's sect who regarded the Jesus movement as an offshoot of their movement . In John 's gospel , Jesus and his disciples go to Judea early in Jesus ' ministry before John the Baptist was imprisoned and executed by Herod . He leads a ministry of baptism larger than John 's own . The Jesus Seminar rated this account as black , containing no historically accurate information . According to the biblical historians at the Jesus Seminar , John likely had a larger presence in the public mind than Jesus . Gnostic elements ( edit ) Further information : Christian Gnosticism Although not commonly understood as Gnostic , many scholars , including Bultmann , have forcefully argued that the Gospel of John has elements in common with Gnosticism . Christian Gnosticism did not fully develop until the mid-2nd century , and so 2nd - century Proto - Orthodox Christians concentrated much effort in examining and refuting it . To say John 's gospel contained elements of Gnosticism is to assume that Gnosticism had developed to a level that required the author to respond to it . Bultmann , for example , argued that the opening theme of the Gospel of John , the pre-existing Logos , was actually a Gnostic theme . Other scholars , e.g. Raymond E. Brown have argued that the pre-existing Logos theme arises from the more ancient Jewish writings in the eighth chapter of the Book of Proverbs , and was fully developed as a theme in Hellenistic Judaism by Philo Judaeus . Comparisons to Gnosticism are based not in what the author says , but in the language he uses to say it , notably , use of the concepts of Logos and Light . Other scholars , e.g. Raymond E. Brown , have argued that the ancient Jewish Qumran community also used the concept of Light versus Darkness . The arguments of Bultmann and his school were seriously compromised by the mid-20th - century discoveries of the Nag Hammadi library of genuine Gnostic writings ( which are dissimilar to the Gospel of John ) as well as the Qumran library of Jewish writings ( which are often similar to the Gospel of John ) . Gnostics read John but interpreted it differently from the way non-Gnostics did . Gnosticism taught that salvation came from gnosis , secret knowledge , and Gnostics did not see Jesus as a savior but a revealer of knowledge . Barnabas Lindars asserts that the gospel teaches that salvation can only be achieved through revealed wisdom , specifically belief in ( literally belief into ) Jesus . Raymond Brown contends that `` The Johannine picture of a savior who came from an alien world above , who said that neither he nor those who accepted him were of this world , and who promised to return to take them to a heavenly dwelling could be fitted into the gnostic world picture ( even if God 's love for the world in 3 : 16 could not ) . '' It has been suggested that similarities between John 's gospel and Gnosticism may spring from common roots in Jewish Apocalyptic literature . Comparison with the Synoptics ( edit ) The Gospel of John is significantly different from the synoptic gospels , with major variations in material , theological emphasis , chronology , and literary style . There are also some discrepancies between John and the Synoptics , some amounting to contradictions . Material ( edit ) John lacks scenes from the Synoptics such as Jesus ' baptism , the calling of the Twelve , exorcisms , parables , the Transfiguration , and the Last Supper . Conversely , it includes scenes not found in the Synoptics , including Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding at Cana , the resurrection of Lazarus , Jesus washing the feet of his disciples , and multiple visits to Jerusalem . In the fourth gospel , Jesus ' mother Mary , while frequently mentioned , is never identified by name . John does assert that Jesus was known as the `` son of Joseph '' in 6 : 42 . For John , Jesus ' town of origin is irrelevant , for he comes from beyond this world , from God the Father . While John makes no direct mention of Jesus ' baptism , he does quote John the Baptist 's description of the descent of the Holy Spirit as a dove , as happens at Jesus ' baptism in the Synoptics . Major synoptic speeches of Jesus are absent , including the Sermon on the Mount and the Olivet Discourse , and the exorcisms of demons are never mentioned as in the Synoptics . John never lists all of the Twelve Disciples and names at least one disciple , Nathanael , whose name is not found in the Synoptics . Thomas is given a personality beyond a mere name , described as `` Doubting Thomas '' . Theological emphasis ( edit ) Jesus is identified with the Word ( `` Logos '' ) , and the Word is identified with theos ( `` god '' in Greek ) ; no such identification is made in the Synoptics . In Mark , Jesus urges his disciples to keep his divinity secret , but in John he is very open in discussing it , even referring to himself as `` I AM '' , the title God gives himself in Exodus at his self - revelation to Moses . In the Synoptics , the chief theme is the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven ( the latter specifically in Matthew ) , while John 's theme is Jesus as the source of eternal life and the Kingdom is only mentioned twice . In contrast to the synoptic expectation of the Kingdom ( using the term parousia , meaning `` coming '' ) , John presents a more individualistic , realized eschatology . Chronology ( edit ) In the Synoptics , the ministry of Jesus takes a single year , but in John it takes three , as evidenced by references to three Passovers . Events are not all in the same order : the date of the crucifixion is different , as is the time of Jesus ' anointing in Bethany and the cleansing of the temple occurs in the beginning of Jesus ' ministry rather than near its end . Literary style ( edit ) In the Synoptics , quotations from Jesus are usually in the form of short , pithy sayings ; in John , longer quotations are often given . The vocabulary is also different , and filled with theological import : in John , Jesus does not work `` miracles '' ( Greek : δῠνάμεις , translit . dynámeis , sing . δύνᾰμῐς , dýnamis ) , but `` signs '' ( Greek : σημεῖᾰ , translit . sēmeia , sing . σημεῖον , sēmeion ) which unveil his divine identity . Most scholars consider John not to contain any parables . Rather it contains metaphorical stories or allegories , such as those of the Good Shepherd and of the True Vine , in which each individual element corresponds to a specific person , group , or thing . Some scholars , however , find some such parables as the short story of the childbearing woman ( 16 : 21 ) or the dying grain ( 12 : 24 ) . Discrepancies ( edit ) According to the Synoptics , the arrest of Jesus was a reaction to the cleansing of the temple , while according to John it was triggered by the raising of Lazarus . The Pharisees , portrayed as more uniformly legalistic and opposed to Jesus in the synoptic gospels , are instead portrayed as sharply divided ; they debate frequently in John 's accounts . Some , such as Nicodemus , even go so far as to be at least partially sympathetic to Jesus . This is believed to be a more accurate historical depiction of the Pharisees , who made debate one of the tenets of their system of belief . Representations ( edit ) Bede translating the Gospel of John on his deathbed , by James Doyle Penrose , 1902 . The gospel has been depicted in live narrations and dramatized in productions , skits , plays , and Passion Plays , as well as in film . The most recent such portrayal is the 2014 film ' The Gospel of John ' , directed by David Batty and narrated by David Harewood and Brian Cox , with Selva Rasalingam as Jesus . The 2003 film The Gospel of John , was directed by Philip Saville , narrated by Christopher Plummer , with Henry Ian Cusick as Jesus . Parts of the gospel have been set to music . One such setting is Steve Warner 's power anthem `` Come and See '' , written for the 20th anniversary of the Alliance for Catholic Education and including lyrical fragments taken from the Book of Signs . Additionally , some composers have made settings of the Passion as portrayed in the gospel , most notably the one composed by Johann Sebastian Bach , although some verses are borrowed from Matthew .

"John is usually dated to AD 90–110.[18][Notes 6] It arose in a Jewish Christian community in the process of breaking from the Jewish synagogue.[19] Scholars believe that the text went through two to three redactions, or \"editions\", before reaching its current form.[20][21]"

Sunday , May 6 , 2001 Queensland 34 -- 16 New South Wales Darren Lockyer ( 14 - 1t , 5g ) Darren Smith ( 4 - 1t ) John Buttigieg ( 4 - 1t ) John Doyle ( 4 - 1t ) Carl Webb ( 4 - 1t ) Chis Walker ( 4 - 1t ) ( Report ) ( 4 - 2g ) Michael De Vere ( 4 - 1t ) Matthew Gidley ( 4 - 1t ) Brad Fittler ( 4 - 1t ) Trent Barrett Suncorp Stadium , Brisbane Attendance : 38,909 Referee : Bill Harrigan Man of the Match : Gorden Tallis In game I Queensland blooded no less than ten new players and Wayne Bennett gambled on the likes of Brisbane Broncos forward Carl Webb and North Queensland Cowboys John Buttigieg and John Doyle who were relative unknowns . But they each announced their representative arrival in dramatic style with a try each in the first game , won 34 - 16 by the Maroons in the last match played at the `` old '' Suncorp Stadium . The most spectacular was Webb 's two minutes before half - time when he brushed off three defenders before powering his way across the line . Game ii ( edit ) Queensland went into game 2 without captain Gorden Tallis who was out with a neck injury . Sunday , June 10 , 2001 New South Wales 26 -- 8 Queensland Brad Fittler ( 8 - 2t ) Ryan Girdler ( 6 - 3g ) Jamie Ainscough ( 4 - 1t ) Trent Barrett ( 4 - 1t ) Luke Ricketson ( 4 - 1t ) ( Report ) ( 4 - 2g ) Darren Lockyer ( 4 - 1t ) Chris Walker Telstra Stadium , Sydney Attendance : 70,249 Referee : Bill Harrigan Man of the Match : Trent Barrett Played before 70,000 at Telstra Stadium , Blues skipper Brad Fittler scored two tries in what was to be his last match for NSW on home soil and inspired his side to a 26 - 8 victory . Man of the match was Trent Barrett playing halfback for the first time due to injuries to Brett Kimmorley and Andrew Johns . Debutante Mark O'Meley was particularly impressive , setting up Fittler 's first try after 53 minutes with a smashing run that sent defenders skittling . Game III ( edit ) The lead up to Game III was dominated by emotion regarding Brad Fittler 's pending retirement from representative football after 29 Origin appearances . But with the series tied at one game apiece Queensland needed some special emotion of their own to avoid a loss . Without inspirational captain Tallis and an established halves pairing , coach Bennett undertook furtive negotiations with Maroon 's veteran Allan Langer , then in his second English season and captain of the Warrington Wolves , and the rumours were only confirmed after Langer had boarded a plane ( under a false name ) for the flight home , bound for his 31st career Origin appearance . At almost 35 years of age , Langer was named in his famous No. 7 jersey for the first time since leaving Australia part - way through the 1999 NRL season . Sunday , 1 July , 2001 Queensland 40 -- 14 New South Wales Darren Lockyer ( 16 - 2t , 4g ) Chris Walker ( 8 - 2t ) Paul Bowman ( 8 - 2t ) Allan Langer ( 4 - 1t ) Dane Carlaw ( 4 - 1t ) ( Report ) ( 14 - 2t , 3g ) Ryan Girdler ANZ Stadium , Brisbane Attendance : 49,441 Referee : Bill Harrigan Man of the Match : Darren Lockyer Despite NSW centre Ryan Girdler scoring the fastest try in Origin history after 39 seconds , Queensland took a 28 - 8 lead into the break with Langer heavily involved in three of the Maroons ' first half tries . Alongside Darren Lockyer who created his own form of havoc , Langer tore New South Wales to shreds and capped his comeback in the 54th minute when he scored a trademark solo try from close range to sentence the Blues to a series - deciding loss and Fittler to his own bittersweet representative farewell ( although he would make a comeback three years later and help his state to a victory in his final year before retirement ) . Sydney 's The Daily Telegraph reacted to the New South Wales team 's Origin loss with this headline on the front of its paper on July 2 , 2001 : `` BLOODY ALF '' .

The character was created by series producer Shonda Rhimes , and is portrayed by actress Sandra Oh .

Knight ) , Izzie Stevens ( Katherine Heigl ) , and Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ) formed a focal point of the series . Yang earlier in the series got engaged to Preston Burke ( Isaiah Washington ) , in the past had a relationship with renowned surgeon and mentor Colin Marlow , and wed but later divorced Owen Hunt ( Kevin McKidd ) . Oh originally auditioned for the role of Miranda Bailey , although Chandra Wilson was ultimately cast in the part . Oh has received generally positive reviews for her portrayal , with Mark Perigard of the Boston Herald considering her friendship with Meredith to be `` the secret core of Grey 's '' . Oh has also garnered numerous awards and nominations for her role as Yang , including Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award wins in 2006 .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Storylines and Character 2 Development 2.1 Casting and creation 2.2 Characterization 3 Reception 3.1 Reviews 3.2 Awards 4 References 5 External links Storylines and character ( edit ) Cristina Yang is introduced as a graduate from Smith College and a fellow surgical intern to Meredith Grey ( Ellen Pompeo ) , Izzie Stevens ( Katherine Heigl ) , George O'Malley ( T.R. Knight ) , and Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ) ; the five of them working under Miranda Bailey ( Chandra Wilson ) . An atheistic competitive intern of Korean - American ancestry , she first desired to become a doctor after a childhood car accident which killed her biological father . Yang also suffers from dyslexia , and was raised in Beverly Hills , California by her mother and supportive Jewish stepfather . She has BA from Smith College , an MD from Stanford University and a PhD from University of California , Berkeley , making her a `` double doctor '' . While her emotional pragmatism , competitive perfectionism , and logical nature lead many to view her as a cutthroat `` robot '' , Cristina hits it off with Meredith on their first day and the pair soon become best friends and each other 's `` person '' , sharing the same `` dark and twisty '' sense of humor . During her internship , Cristina has an on - off relationship with the chief of cardiothoracic surgery Preston Burke ( Isaiah Washington ) that leads to an accidental pregnancy . Yang schedules an abortion without telling him about the pregnancy due to Burke 's behavior towards their lack of relationship status . However , Yang experiences an ectopic pregnancy and Burke discovers the pregnancy after Yang collapses from a burst fallopian tube . Burke and Yang begin a relationship in the aftermath of her miscarriage . After Burke is shot in the arm and develops a hand tremor , Yang helps him cover it up by developing a covert partnership wherein she performs most of his surgeries . Yang initially denies involvement during a confrontation , but then confesses everything to Richard Webber ( James Pickens , Jr . ) , the chief of surgery . Yang 's actions jeopardize Burke 's chances of becoming chief , which he sees as a huge betrayal . After a short breakup , Yang breaks the silence and Burke proposes marriage , which Yang accepts after eight days of hesitation . Burke calls off the wedding , leaving Yang at the altar . She goes on her honeymoon to Hawaii with Meredith to recover , returning to discover that Burke has disappeared from her life and transferred to a different hospital . Burke is replaced by Erica Hahn ( Brooke Smith ) , who immediately dislikes Yang for her trend of having affairs with famous surgeons , such as Burke , going so far as refusing to let her scrub in on cardiac surgeries . Eventually , Callie Torres ( Sara Ramirez ) moves in with Yang , and she still tries to earn Hahn 's approval . Hahn reveals that she dislikes Yang because she reminds her of an early version of herself and continues to cut Yang out of cardio surgeries and neglects to teach her , before eventually quitting the hospital and leaving Seattle Grace without a head of cardio . Without a teacher , Yang begins to seriously doubt the purpose of remaining in her place at Seattle Grace when the program falls to twelfth on a list of the best teaching hospitals , and Burke wins the Harper - Avery award without mentioning her at all , despite her saving his career . Yang tells the Chief that her current existence in the hospital is `` unbearable '' and that she has turned into a ghost . Yang meets Owen Hunt ( Kevin McKidd ) , an army trauma surgeon , when he patches her up from being stabbed in the stomach by a falling icicle . The pair are immediately attracted to each other and share a brief kiss . After Owen Hunt is honorably discharged , he is hired as Seattle Grace 's chief of trauma surgery and he and Yang begin a flirtation . Yang grows emotionally when she decides to support Meredith in her relationship with Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) , despite her logical misgivings about their staying power , and begins to be more emotionally open towards Hunt . However , Hunt has repressed memories of his time in Iraq and PTSD which causes Hunt to behave erratically , and attack and strangle her while asleep . Yang attempts to be emotionally supportive , but ends their relationship as she is afraid of sleeping next to him . Cristina loses her shot at being the first resident to perform a solo surgery despite being unanimously chosen by the attending surgeons , having been disciplined from failing to report the irresponsible behavior of the new interns . Meredith and Cristina have a fight during the intern scandal , and Cristina chooses Alex to be her replacement . They eventually reconcile . When Izzie Stevens discovers her life - threatening cancer , Yang is the one she confides in over her other friends due to Yang 's ability to remain emotionally distant . Yang saves Izzie 's life by coming up with a treatment plan and forcing Izzie to tell their friends of her diagnosis . Hunt begins seeing a therapist , and Yang confesses her love for him . The pair begin a tentative relationship , hampered by Hunt 's therapeutic progress and his hot and cold professional behavior , wherein he frequently ignores or penalizes Yang to avoid the appearance of favoritism . Hunt hires ex-colleague from the Army , Teddy Altman ( Kim Raver ) , to become the chief of cardio - thoracic surgery as a `` gift '' for Yang , after she breaks down over having no new head of cardio . Yang is unimpressed with Altman , neither published nor famous , but her calm proficiency and belief in Yang 's skills win her over . A conflict arises in the trio due to Altman and Hunt 's repressed feelings for each other . Altman chooses to resign her place as temporary head of cardio because of her feelings for Hunt . Devastated by the blow to her education and the depressing potential of returning to her previous directionless state , Yang begs Altman to stay and teach her , offering Hunt to Altman in exchange . Altman intellectually understands Yang choosing her gift over a man and their relationship is repaired , but Hunt is very hurt that Yang would trade him away . Hunt subconsciously tries to sabotage Yang 's education and the two break up again after Hunt is unable to decide between the two women . Cristina saves Derek 's life with a gun to her head after he is shot by Gary Clarke , a grieving widow who commits mass murder at the hospital . Hunt is injured by the same shooter after he chooses to return for Yang over Altman , and Grey treats him as Yang saves Grey 's husband . Following the attack on the hospital , Hunt and Yang impulsively decide to get married . Yang is suffering from severe PTSD and is unable to bear being alone , making marriage to Hunt , who understands what she 's going through , attractive . Yang spends the early days of her marriage in shock and hiding at Meredith 's . Due to having severe PTSD and being unable to do her job correctly anymore , Cristina quits and begins bartending and eventually throws a housewarming party . Derek helps Cristina emotionally and she ultimately decides to go to work after helping the victim of a school shooting . Yang discovers she is pregnant with Hunt 's child , and decides to get an abortion . Though Hunt accompanies her to the abortion , he is extremely angry with her decision . Yang then operates on Henry Burton ( Scott Foley ) , Altman 's husband , unknown of his identity . When the surgery fails and he dies , Yang is guilt stricken upon learning of her patient 's identity . Altman forgives Yang and forces Yang to realize that she did everything possible . Altman 's mentorship of Yang is punishing at times , and Altman brutally emphasizes that Yang must learn patience , compassion , and the basics over the flashy surgeries Yang prefers . Altman 's tutelage is successful , and Yang evolves into an aware and well - rounded surgeon because of it . Altman allows Yang to come up with a wish list of dream surgeries to fulfill before Altman resigns and moves on . Yang and Hunt distance themselves from each other as they keep fighting over the abortion , despite attending marriage counselling . Hunt has a one - night stand with a patient 's friend , leaving Yang heartbroken . She decides to move on , unsure of her future with him . As the end of the fifth year of residency is near , the surgical residents , including Yang , prepare for their medical boards and for the different fellowships they plan on joining . After she passes her exams , Yang reconciles with Hunt and tells him she is leaving Seattle for the Mayo Clinic , Minnesota . Afterward , Yang , Meredith , Shepherd , Arizona Robbins ( Jessica Capshaw ) , Mark Sloan ( Eric Dane ) , and Lexie Grey ( Chyler Leigh ) are involved in an aviation accident while on the way to Boise , Idaho to perform surgery on conjoined twins . Lexie dies , and Mark later succumbs to his injuries after they are rescued and dies . Following their rescue , Yang , traumatized , suffers from brief reactive psychosis which provokes violent outbursts and makes her unresponsive . Yang leaves Seattle to become a cardiothoracic surgical fellow and goes , as planned , to the Mayo Clinic , but has difficulties adapting to her new colleagues ' way of working . While in Minnesota , Yang develops a friendship with a near - retirement cardio surgeon , Craig Thomas ( William Daniels ) . She mainly teases him with comments regarding his old age . She also begins an affair with the head of surgery Dr. Parker ( Steven Culp ) who has issues with Thomas . After Thomas dies from a heart attack , Yang returns to Seattle . Cristina is re-hired and Owen asks for a divorce once Cristina wants to reconcile . Shocked , Cristina agrees , but later finds out that the potential conflict of interest regarding the plane crash lawsuit was a key motive behind Owen 's request and confronts him . Owen tells her that he ' feels responsible ' and was worried as he thought she was dead . They have a sexual relationship after divorcing . The hospital is sued and found guilty of negligence . The surviving doctors , including Yang , must receive $15 million of compensation each , which leads the hospital to a near bankruptcy as the insurers refuse to pay . Yang , Callie Torres ( Sara Ramirez ) , and the other surviving doctors buy the hospital with the help of the Harper - Avery Foundation to prevent it from closing , and each become members of the new directing board . After buying the hospital , Yang realizes that she was made for the O.R. and breaks things off with Owen because he still wants kids and she still does n't . After breaking up with Owen , Cristina continues to excel at surgery and becomes de facto chief of cardio . Although supportive of Meredith 's choice to become a mother , Cristina points out the fact that it has hurt Meredith 's career and clinical judgement . This causes a wedge in their friendship . Grey attempts to catch up professionally with a research trial , but the divide widens when Cristina 's trial overshadows Grey 's and steals Grey 's resources . When Dr. Shane Ross , a second - year resident , stands up to Meredith for her , Cristina gives Shane a kiss . Later , she begins sleeping with him , as well as becoming his mentor and passing on the skills learned from Altman . Cristina 's project is immensely successful and she is informed that she could be considered for the Harper Avery award from her 3 - D printing of a heart conduit . Grey and Yang reconcile when Grey acknowledges that Yang is correct , she has surpassed Grey , and that Grey is jealous of Yang 's professional freedom and success , while her own is hampered by her family . Cristina is nominated for the Harper Avery award and is a strong candidate , however she is passed over due to her relationship with the Harper - Avery Foundation that co-owns the hospital . Cristina goes to speak at a hospital in Zurich , Switzerland , orchestrated by Preston Burke who built his own hospital following his winning of the Harper Avery . He offers Cristina his job as the head of the hospital so that he can spend more time with his wife and kids . Cristina accepts the offer and interviews candidates for her replacement position at the hospital , including Maggie Pierce for new chief of cardio . Cristina transfers her hospital shares to Alex Karev and recommends he take over her seat on the board . At the end of season 10 , she says goodbye to her fellow co-workers she has come to know and love including Owen and Meredith . Cristina and Meredith share special moments together reminiscing about all the horrors they went through and dancing it out one last time . Cristina leaves for Zurich with surgical intern Shane Ross , who chooses to leave in order to study under her abroad . Development ( edit ) Casting and creation ( edit ) Sandra Oh 's character was not supposed to be of Asian descent On the creation of Yang , Shonda Rhimes said the character contained `` a little bit of ( her ) personality '' . Speaking with talk show host Oprah Winfrey , Rhimes said : `` Cristina was second , simply because she 's the kind of woman I know really well , and I like her . There 's something interesting about a person who is that driven , a little bit emotionally disconnected but still a caring , sweet , and smart individual you could be friends with . '' Sandra Oh , initially auditioned for the character of Bailey , adding : `` Thank God I did not get that part '' , explaining the show would not be the same without fellow cast member , Wilson . Discussing casting Oh as Yang , Rhimes said : `` She brought this energy that felt very fresh . From the beginning , I 've been shaping Cristina around Sandra a little bit . One of my favorite things to do is take as much of her dialogue out of a scene as possible because she does so much nonverbally . Then I just watch what she manages to do without having a word to say . '' The character of Yang was not originally supposed to be of Asian descent . Oh said her character was `` a pert little blonde and the thing is the woman who runs the show , Shonda Rhimes , is a black woman , which makes a big ( expletive ) difference . '' In 2009 , when asked why Oh signed on for Grey 's Anatomy , Oh said : `` I 'm very proud of this show and I think it came along at the right time for me . It 's a changing time on television because five or ten years ago you would n't have a major network show where half of the cast were not white . '' Oh 's original contract with the show expired after season eight , however , E ! Online reported in May 2012 , that Oh , as well as all original cast members , had signed on for two more years . Characterization ( edit ) The American Broadcasting Company ( ABC ) characterized Yang as `` competitive '' , `` ambitious '' , and `` intelligent '' , while also noting her weaknesses : `` bossy '' , `` aggressive '' , and `` tactless '' . Oh said of her character : `` I 've always tried to play Cristina with a tremendous amount of focus and ambition -- which is the reality for a female surgeon . I mean , in real life there are n't many of them . But the ones you encounter are at the very top of their game . You have to have a kind of ascetic personality to survive . '' James Pickens , Jr. who portrays Dr. Webber said : `` That character itself set a bar in terms of how we look at millennial women : independent yet vulnerable , seriously competitive yet caring . '' Rhimes referred to Yang 's relationship with Burke by the portmanteau `` Burktina '' , citing `` Losing My Religion '' as one of her favorite episodes featuring them because it shows their evolution from the beginning of the second season to its end . Kevin McKidd 's character was introduced as a love interest for Yang . Rhimes commented , `` ( We see ) her struggle to suppress all of her humanity in pursuit of perfection . And in my mind , what we realize is that she is not cold . She is terrified . Scared that if she lets her emotions out , they will overtake her and she will be hurt . And you ca n't hate her . Because it 's so incredibly human and understandable . '' Yang 's friendship with Meredith has been looked upon as `` sisterhood '' , and Yang has repeatedly referred to the former as `` her person '' . This led to the two being dubbed `` the twisted sisters '' . At the conclusion of season three , the duo went on a `` honeymoon '' together , and Rhimes called it her favorite detail of the finale . New York magazine wrote of the character : `` There 's probably no woman on TV right now more single - mindedly dedicated to her career than Cristina . It has long been her defining characteristic . If it occasionally makes her into a caricature , it has also unquestionably established that she would have an abortion in this circumstance . '' Talking about Yang 's abortion in the eighth season , Rhimes explained she intended Yang to have an abortion already in the second season but changed it with an ectopic pregnancy at the suggestion of one of her writers because `` that was so much more interesting , story-wise '' . As for the abortion in the eighth season , Rhimes commented : `` I really wanted Cristina Yang to stay true to who Cristina Yang is . And I feel like that is a character who has never really wanted to be a mother . The idea that this woman would have a child that she did not want and resented for ruining her career and resented Owen for making her have ( it ) would have been hideous . ( The abortion ) made sense for the character . '' Discussing his onscreen relationship with Yang , McKidd said : `` It 's not going to be easy for them . What I read when I read the season premiere , and this is just my take on it , is that it was very much two very analytical people , Owen and Cristina . They 're very similar in a way , I think , as people . Two analytical people see each other over a crowded ER room and their eyes meet . '' On the topic of Yang 's triumphs and challenges in the eighth season , Oh said : `` It has been an extremely challenging year that has had a lot of ups and downs , both challenging and exhilarating . We would shoot all our scenes for a day or two straight , and that was extremely challenging because emotionally and physically it becomes really exhausting . '' Oh said of Yang 's expressions of emotions during season eight : `` You see her express her emotions with only two people : her best friend Meredith and her husband Owen . To see someone being pulled apart so intensely , which honestly most everyone goes through in their life in some ways , if you 're lucky you 're completely pulled apart and then you have to pull yourself together , which hopefully will be the exploration within hopefully the next season . '' Although the characters ' marriage is tested , McKidd reported to The Hollywood Reporter : `` I think they 're meant for each other . I hold out faith in Cristina and Owen , even though they go to the darkest places out of all the couples on the show . It 's going to get worse but it 's going to get better soon . '' Reception ( edit ) Reviews ( edit ) Isaiah Washington 's character 's relationship with Yang was positively received . The character was well received by the critics at the time of its inception and as the series went on the reviews became increasingly positive and Cristina went on the become an iconic character not just for Grey 's but for television itself . Kelli Catana of The Huffington Post named Yang `` the best damn character '' of the series . Yang appeared in Comcast 's list of TV 's Most Intriguing Characters , with the website commenting that she is `` an engaging yet comedic factor for the prime - time soap Grey 's Anatomy . '' Philadelphia Magazine included Yang in its list of the `` 10 Best Doctors on Television '' . However , the same periodical listed her as one of `` The 12 Most Annoying Women on TV '' . Mark Perigard of the Boston Herald considers her friendship with Meredith to be `` the secret core of Grey 's and perhaps creator Shonda Rhimes ' greatest contribution to prime time . '' The Huffington Post 's writer Kelli Catana agreed , saying : `` the Meredith / Yang relationship is probably the most true friendship on network television . '' Their friendship was listed in AOL TV 's `` Top 20 : TV 's Best BFFs '' and in Entertainment Weekly 's `` 30 Best TV Bromances / Gal Pals '' . Yahoo ! Voices also put Yang on their list of `` The Most Loyal TV Best Friends of All Time '' . Television Without Pity writer Lauren Shotwell claimed Yang is `` the only one of these five ( residents ) that regularly acts like an actual doctor '' . Yang 's relationship with Burke was positively received ; it was considered as `` one of the most interesting relationships on the show '' . Similarly , The Orange County Register wrote that their romance became `` one of the most touching and funny attractions of Grey 's Anatomy . '' Christopher Monfette of IGN was critical of their wedding planning in the third season , saying : `` The will - they 's and wo n't - they 's fly and fall like hobbled pigeons until the season finale when the show solves both its personal and professional problems in the most obvious and least compelling of ways . '' UGO.com placed their break - up on its list of the most horrible TV breakups . In 2009 , Monfette said of Yang 's relationship with Owen : `` ( Hunt 's ) interactions with Cristina were perfectly balanced for optimum drama , never together and never apart for so long that the back - and - forth became frustrating . Viewers could clearly see a softening of the typically hard - edged Cristina , a pleasant change for what had become something of a one - note character . '' Jennifer Armstrong of Entertainment Weekly also praised the pairing , especially in `` Elevator Love Letter '' , saying : `` As good as they 've been at amping up the romance crackling between Owen and Cristina , Kevin McKidd and Sandra Oh brought the Emmy consideration tonight from scene 1 . '' She also added : `` I loved seeing Cristina at least try to stand by her man . '' Of Yang and Owen 's wedding , Armstrong said : `` Glad we made a clean disposal of the Teddy - Owen - Cristina love triangle , though , when he quipped to Teddy , `` I heard there 's a guy , '' and she said she was happy for him . '' She also praised Owen 's proposal scene , giving it an `` A '' . Later , she praised their marriage , saying : `` I am absolutely loving the stronger - than - ever lady - bond between these two this season . Is it because they 're both married now ? Just growing up ? Whatever , it 's the opposite of Blair and Serena 's annoyingly fickle frenemy status on Gossip Girl , and I ca n't get enough . '' New York Magazine praised the abortion storyline , saying that the show `` was brave enough to do what almost no other series will : show this one particular , totally legal medical procedure on TV '' and that the abortion was `` the only plausible resolution '' for Yang 's pregnancy . Tanner Stransky , also of Entertainment Weekly , said of Yang 's actions after Owen 's affair : `` It alternately seems silly and not silly , when you really think about it . '' Robert Bianco of USA Today praised Yang 's storylines in the eighth season , saying : `` Their stories are effectively tied into that of a patient whose ability to move forward is complicated by a complex response to a hideous past . '' HitFix writer Liane Bonin Starr applauded Yang 's brief departure from Seattle Grace to Mayo Clinic in the ninth season , which was `` interesting '' as `` it showed us a new side of her -- and after so many seasons , that was some welcome insight . '' The relation between Meredith and Cristina has been acclaimed and been a highlight of the show . Mark Perigard of the Boston Herald considered the friendship to be `` the secret core of Grey 's '' . Aisha Harris of Slate called their relation The Best Female Friendship on TV adding that `` With those two characters , showrunner Shonda Rhimes and her team of writers created one of the most nuanced and realistic portrayals of female friendship on television . '' Samantha Highfill of Entertainment Weekly called Cristina and Meredith the best female friends on TV because `` they do n't try to be '' . There 's nothing fake about them , which is a rarity in how female friends are portrayed on television . She further went on to call them ' soulmates ' , `` And even though they 'd never dare get sappy enough to say it , they 're soul mates . Margaret Lyons of Vulture ( magazine ) called the friendship `` dream BFF relationship . '' and the primary focus of the show , `` One of the series ' calling cards has been its depiction of female friendship and particularly the primacy that friendship enjoyed over romantic relationships . '' E ! at the time of Sandra Oh 's exit wrote , `` In Grey 's Anatomy 's 10 - year history , the doctor duo has been through a lot together : weddings , deaths , plane crashes , bomb threats , shooting , you name it , they 've lived ( and danced ) through it . '' and added , `` And with the three words , `` You 're my person . '' Cristina Yang and Meredith Grey solidified their status as the small screen 's best best friends ever .

"Oh originally auditioned for the role of Miranda Bailey, although Chandra Wilson was ultimately cast in the part. Oh has received generally positive reviews for her portrayal, with Mark Perigard of the Boston Herald considering her friendship with Meredith to be \"the secret core of Grey's\". Oh has also garnered numerous awards and nominations for her role as Yang, including Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award wins in 2006. She was additionally nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series each year, from 2005 to 2009. Characterizing the character, ABC noted her competitiveness, ambition, and intelligence as her main traits, while her aggressive, and tactless attitude was highlighted as her main weakness. In May 2012, E! Online reported that Oh had signed on for two more years, along with her fellow cast members. Oh left the show after season 10, and her character Cristina Yang was written out of the storyline as a main cast member.[1]"

It was the first newspaper printed in Asia , and was published for two years , before the East India Company seized the newspaper 's types and printing press . Founded by James Augustus Hicky , a highly eccentric Irishman who had previously spent two years in jail for debt , the newspaper was a strong critic of the administration of the Governor General Warren Hastings . The newspaper was important for its provocative journalism well before its time and its fight for free expression in India . Contents ( hide ) 1 Newspaper history 2 Editorial Policy 3 Contemporary views 4 Legacy 5 Surviving Copies 6 References 7 External links Newspaper history ( edit ) Hicky began publication of Hicky 's Bengal Gazette on January 29 , 1780 , having first printed a prospectus announcing that he would begin printing a newspaper . The idea of printing a newspaper in India had been first floated twelve years earlier by the Dutch Adventurer William Bolts , but Hicky was to execute the concept . Hicky first maintained a neutral editing policy ( his slogan was `` Open to all Parties , but Influenced by None '' ) but after he learned that competitors with ties to the East India Company were intending to launch a rival newspaper , The India Gazette , he changed his editorial stance . Hicky accused an East India Company employee , Simeon Droz , of supporting the India Gazette as punishment for Hicky 's refusal to pay a bribe to Droz and Marian Hastings , Warren Hastings ' wife . In retaliation for Hicky 's accusation , Hastings ' Supreme Council forbid Hicky from mailing his newspaper through the post office . Hicky claimed Hastings ' order violated his right to free expression , and accused Hastings of corruption , tyranny , and even erectile dysfunction . Hicky also accused other British leaders in Calcutta of corruption , including the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William , Elijah Impey of taking bribes , and the leader of the Protestant Mission , Johann Zacharias Kiernander of stealing from an orphaned children 's fund . Hicky 's editorial independence was short lived as Hastings and Kiernander sued him for libel . After four dramatic trials in June 1781 , the Supreme Court found Hicky guilty and sentenced him to jail . Hicky continued to print his newspaper from jail , and continued to accuse Hastings and others of corruption . He was finally suppressed when Hastings instituted fresh law suits against him . Hicky 's Bengal Gazette ceased publication on March 23 , 1782 when its types were seized by an order of the Supreme Court . Editorial policy ( edit ) Hicky 's Bengal Gazette was known for its sarcastic and provocative writing style . Unlike many newspapers of its time , the newspaper discussed taboo topics like female masturbation , and proto - class consciousness , arguing for the rights of the poor and the right to taxation with representation . It was strongly anti-war and anti-colonial and routinely ridiculed East India Company leadership for their expansionist and imperialist objectives . Contemporary views ( edit ) The memoirist William Hickey ( who , confusingly , was not in fact related to the paper 's founder ) describes its establishment shortly after he had succeeded ( in his capacity as an attorney - at - law ) in having James Hicky released from debtor 's jail : `` At the time I first saw Hicky he had been about seven years in India . During his confinement he met with a treatise upon printing , from which he collected sufficient information to commence ( as a ) printer , there never having been a press in Calcutta ... it occurred to Hicky that great benefit might arise from setting on foot a public newspaper , nothing of that kind ever having appeared . Upon his types &c. , therefore reaching him , he issued proposals for printing a weekly paper , which , meeting with extraordinary encouragement , he speedily issued his first work . As a novelty every person read it , and was delighted . Possessing a fund of low wit , his paper abounded with proof of that talent . He had also a happy knack at applying appropriate nicknames and relating satirical anecdotes '' . Hicky benefited little from the paper , as William Hickey further tells us that he allowed it `` to become the channel of personal invective , and the most scurrilous abuse of individuals of all ranks , high and low , rich and poor , many were attacked in the most wanton and cruel manner ... His utter ruin was the consequence '' . Legacy ( edit ) Hicky 's Bengal Gazette was the first English - language newspaper , and indeed the first printed newspaper , to be published in both the Indian sub-continent and Asia as a whole . The newspaper became very famous not only among the British soldiers posted in India at that time but also inspired the Indians to write newspapers of their own .

-6763261468264584976 | List of goaltenders who have scored a goal in an NHL game | List of goaltenders who have scored a goal in an NHL game - wikipedia List of goaltenders who have scored a goal in an NHL game Jump to : navigation , search This article is about ice hockey goaltenders who have scored a goal in an NHL game . For the similar feat in association football , see List of goalscoring goalkeepers . Martin Brodeur is the only goaltender to be credited with three goals , two goals in the regular season and another one in the playoffs . After a seven - year lull , Chris Osgood was the first goaltender to score a goal since Ron Hextall did so in the 1989 playoffs . Jose Theodore , then playing for the Montreal Canadiens , scored a goal and shutout in a 3 -- 0 game against the New York Islanders . Evgeni Nabokov was the first non-North American goaltender to score a goal . Chris Mason was credited with a goal in 2006 . Cam Ward , pictured here with Frantisek Kaberle in 2008 , was credited with a goal in 2011 . Eleven goaltenders have scored a total of fourteen goals in National Hockey League ( NHL ) games . A goalkeeper can score by either shooting the puck into the net , or being awarded the goal as the last player on his team to touch the puck when an opponent scored an own goal . A goal scored by shooting the puck is particularly challenging as the goaltender has to aim for a six - foot - wide net that is close to 180 feet away , while avoiding opposing defencemen ; in the case of own goals , the combined circumstance of the own goal itself in addition to the goaltender being the last player to touch the puck makes it a very rare occurrence . Of the fourteen goals , seven were scored by shooting the puck and seven were the result of own goals . Goaltenders have participated in the offence , albeit in a limited way , since the earliest days of the sport . Before the creation of the NHL in 1917 , there were some instances recorded of goaltenders rushing down the ice to participate in the play , occasionally scoring a goal . This practice has since been outlawed ( goalies are not allowed to cross the centre red line to play the puck ) after the Toronto Maple Leafs ' Gary Smith was injured on such a rush in the 1966 -- 67 NHL season . During the history of the league , there had been some near - misses by goaltenders , including attempts by Chuck Rayner by aiming at the empty net , or joining the attack . In 1977 , Rogatien Vachon briefly became the first goaltender to score a goal after being credited following an own goal by the opponent , before it was given instead to a teammate by later video review . Billy Smith of the New York Islanders became the first goaltender to score an NHL goal on November 28 , 1979 , when he was given credit following an own goal . Ron Hextall of the Philadelphia Flyers became the second goalkeeper to score , and the first to score by taking a shot . Martin Brodeur has scored the most NHL goals by a goaltender , with two in the regular season and one in the playoffs . The most recent goal credited to a goaltender was awarded to Mike Smith of the Phoenix Coyotes on October 19 , 2013 , scored via a shot on goal . Contents ( hide ) 1 Technique 2 History 3 Scorers 4 See also 5 Bibliography 6 References Technique ( edit ) Under modern rules , the only realistic chance for the goaltender to score exists when the opposing goaltender is pulled for an extra attacker , leaving the six - foot - wide net at the other end of the rink empty . It is assumed that the opposing goaltender , if in net , would not commit a blunder . Furthermore , the goaltender is prohibited from travelling to the other side of rink ; specifically , he is not allowed to cross the centre red line in order to participate in a play , where the position of the puck is prescribed as the `` determining factor '' by Rule 27 of the Official NHL Rule Book . The result is that the goaltender can not participate in play in the opponent 's zone , and must take a shot from his side of the rink . Coaches generally discourage any player from shooting at an empty net from their own side of the red line because if the shot goes wide , it results in an icing infraction . This brings the face off back in the defensive zone and prohibits the offending team from making any substitutions . In practice , a shot from the goaltender is taken from the side of his net , because further travel risks turning the puck over . Due to the distance between the two nets , the puck has to be shot with a trajectory and speed that prevents the opposing team from stopping it while it travels . All NHL goaltenders who have scored a goal by shooting the puck have done so with an empty net ; the goals credited to goaltenders that did not shoot the puck were all the result of own goals by the opposing team who had their crease vacated . Rule 27.7 was instituted in the 1966 -- 67 season , after the Toronto Maple Leafs ' Gary Smith had been knocked out by Montreal Canadiens defenceman J.C. Tremblay 's bodycheck as the former was crossing the centre red line carrying the puck . Prior to the institution of the rule , the only recorded instances of goaltenders scoring goals involved them rushing to the other end of the rink , and they occurred generally in the early days of ice hockey , around 1900 . Furthermore , prior to 1931 , empty - net situations did not arise as it was not customary to pull the goaltender late in the game for an extra attacker in an effort to tie the game up . This technique is credited to Art Ross , coach of the Boston Bruins , who pulled Tiny Thompson in game two of the semifinals playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens . An instance of an attempted empty - net goal was recorded in 1947 , when New York Rangers goaltender Chuck Rayner missed the net `` by a whisper '' which was vacated when the Toronto Maple Leafs had pulled Turk Broda . History ( edit ) Billy Smith of the New York Islanders , in the 1979 -- 80 season , was the first goaltender to be credited with a goal in the NHL when Rob Ramage of the Colorado Rockies put the puck into his own empty net . Smith was the last Islander to have touched the puck , and by NHL rule 78.4 , an unassisted goal is awarded to the last player on the scoring team who had contacted the puck , in the event of an own goal . However , the participation of goaltenders in offence began long before Billy Smith 's goal . The first recorded goal in competitive play , scored by a goaltender , was in 1905 . According to a Montreal Star report , poor officiating resulted in only the goaltenders left on the ice in a February 18 game between the Montreal Westmounts and Quebec Bulldogs of Canadian Amateur Hockey League ( CAHL ) . Fred Brophy ( Montreal ) and Hall of Famer Paddy Moran ( Quebec ) exchanged scoring attempts , before Brophy beat Moran , while the latter and most of the spectators `` convulsed in laughter '' . Brophy repeated the feat a year later on March 7 , 1906 , by skating the length of the ice to score on goaltender Nathan Frye of the Montreal Victorias of the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association ( ECAHA ) . The first goaltender credited with an assist in the NHL was Georges Vezina in the 1917 -- 18 season , after a puck rebounded off his leg pad to a teammate who skated the length of the ice to score . In the 1935 -- 36 season , Tiny Thompson became the first goaltender to gain an assist after making an intentional pass . During the Second World War , while playing for the All - Star Canadian Army team , goaltender Chuck Rayner carried the puck down the ice and beat the opposing goaltender , Art Jones . In the NHL , he made numerous unsuccessful attempts to duplicate this feat ; as a member of the New York Rangers , Rayner attempted to score both by aiming at an empty net and by rushing down the rink . There are at least two recorded instances of him skating to the other side of the ice after making a save , and he was experimentally used on the point during power - plays in late 1940s . In the 1976 -- 77 season , Los Angeles Kings goaltender Rogie Vachon briefly became the first goaltender to be credited with a goal when the opposing New York Islanders scored on themselves during a delayed penalty ; however , after video review , the goal was given to Vic Venasky as it was determined that he was the last Kings player to touch the puck before it went in the net . A similar case occurred in 1987 when the Islanders ' Brent Sutter scored on his own net during a delayed penalty ; the cross-town rival Rangers ' Bob Froese was credited with the goal , briefly becoming the second goaltender to have been credited with an NHL goal . Later video review concluded that Froese had not touched the puck at all , and the goal was awarded to David Shaw . The first goaltender to score a goal by intentionally shooting the puck into the opponent 's net was the Philadelphia Flyers ' Ron Hextall , who on December 8 , 1987 , scored on an empty net after Boston pulled their goaltender , Rejean Lemelin , for a sixth attacker late in the third period . The most recent goaltender to have scored a goal by deliberately shooting the puck into his opponents ' net was Mike Smith , in 2013 . Of the fourteen goals scored by NHL goaltenders , seven were shot into the opposing team 's net by the goaltender . Two goaltenders have scored a goal and earned a shutout in the same game . Damian Rhodes , playing for the Ottawa Senators , was credited with a goal in a 6 -- 0 win over the New Jersey Devils on January 2 , 1999 , and Jose Theodore , playing for the Montreal Canadiens , shot the puck into the New York Islanders ' empty net in a 3 -- 0 victory on January 2 , 2001 , exactly two years later . Theodore 's shot was the only backhand of the seven . In addition to being the first goaltender to be credited with a goal , Billy Smith was the only goaltender to have scored in a game that he lost . Chris Mason and Damian Rhodes are the only goalies to be credited with a goal in both the AHL and the NHL . Of the 14 goals , the New Jersey Devils franchise has been involved in six of them , three goals for ( highest total ) and three goals against ( highest total ) , including the first ever goaltender goal when scored on in their previous incarnation as the Colorado Rockies . While both Ron Hextall and Martin Brodeur have scored more than one goal , Hextall is the only goaltender to score twice by directly shooting the puck into the opponent 's net . Brodeur 's second and third goals were own goals by the other team , where Brodeur received credit for touching the puck last . Brodeur 's second goal is the only game - winning goal scored by a goaltender . Hextall and Brodeur both scored in a playoff game as well as a regular season game . Hextall 's second goal is the only goal scored by a goaltender while his team was short handed , and Evgeni Nabokov and Martin Brodeur are the only goalies who scored on a power play . Martin Brodeur is the only goalie to score against another goalie , when he scored against Dan Ellis , although Ellis was on his way to the bench for an extra attacker on a delayed penalty call and failed to make it back to the net in time to prevent the puck from entering the goal . Brodeur is also the only goalie who has both scored an empty net goal while the opposing goalie was on the bench , as well as having been the goalie on the bench when another goalie was credited with a goal . Mike Smith was the latest goaltender to score a goal in the NHL , which he managed to do in a 5 -- 2 victory of the Phoenix Coyotes over the Detroit Red Wings on October 19 , 2013 . He scored the goal with only 1 / 10 of a second left in the third period . He is also the only goaltender to be credited with a goal in both the NHL and the ECHL , having scored a goal as a member of the Lexington Men O ' War on October 26 , 2002 , against the Dayton Bombers .

"Eleven goaltenders have scored a total of fourteen goals in National Hockey League (NHL) games. A goalkeeper can score by either shooting the puck into the net, or being awarded the goal as the last player on his team to touch the puck when an opponent scored an own goal. A goal scored by shooting the puck is particularly challenging as the goaltender has to aim for a six-foot-wide net that is close to 180 feet away, while avoiding opposing defencemen; in the case of own goals, the combined circumstance of the own goal itself in addition to the goaltender being the last player to touch the puck makes it a very rare occurrence. Of the fourteen goals, seven were scored by shooting the puck and seven were the result of own goals."

Contested by 20 clubs , it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League ( EFL ) . The Premier League is a corporation in which the member clubs act as shareholders . Seasons run from August to May with each team playing 38 matches ( playing each other home and away ) . Most games are played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons . It is often known outside England as the English Premier League ( EPL ) . The competition was formed as the FA Premier League on 20 February 1992 following the decision of clubs in the Football League First Division to break away from the Football League , founded in 1888 , and take advantage of a lucrative television rights deal . The deal was worth £ 1 billion a year domestically as of 2013 -- 14 , with BSkyB and BT Group securing the domestic rights to broadcast 116 and 38 games respectively . The league generates € 2.2 billion per year in domestic and international television rights . In 2014 -- 15 , teams were apportioned revenues of £ 1.6 billion , rising sharply to £ 2.4 billion in 2016 -- 17 . The Premier League is the most - watched sports league in the world , broadcast in 212 territories to 643 million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7 billion people . In the 2014 -- 15 season , the average Premier League match attendance exceeded 36,000 , second highest of any professional football league behind the Bundesliga 's 43,500 . Most stadium occupancies are near capacity . The Premier League ranks third in the UEFA coefficients of leagues based on performances in European competitions over the past five seasons , as of 2016 . Forty - nine clubs have competed since the inception of the Premier League in 1992 . Six of them have won the title : Manchester United ( 13 ) , Chelsea ( 5 ) , Arsenal ( 3 ) , Manchester City ( 3 ) , Blackburn Rovers ( 1 ) and Leicester City ( 1 ) .

Stadiums were crumbling , supporters endured poor facilities , hooliganism was rife , and English clubs were banned from European competition for five years following the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985 . The Football League First Division , the top level of English football since 1888 , was behind leagues such as Italy 's Serie A and Spain 's La Liga in attendances and revenues , and several top English players had moved abroad . By the turn of the 1990s the downward trend was starting to reverse : at the 1990 FIFA World Cup , England reached the semi-finals ; UEFA , European football 's governing body , lifted the five - year ban on English clubs playing in European competitions in 1990 , resulting in Manchester United lifting the UEFA Cup Winners ' Cup in 1991 , and the Taylor Report on stadium safety standards , which proposed expensive upgrades to create all - seater stadiums in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster , was published in January of that year . The 1980s also saw the major English clubs , led by the likes of Martin Edwards of Manchester United , Irving Scholar of Tottenham Hotspur and David Dein of Arsenal , beginning to be transformed into business ventures that applied commercial principles to the running of the clubs , which led to the increasing power of the elite clubs . By threatening to break away , the top clubs from Division One managed to increase their voting power , and took 50 % share all television and sponsorship income in 1986 . Revenue from television also became more important : the Football League received £ 6.3 million for a two - year agreement in 1986 , but by 1988 , in a deal agreed with ITV , the price rose to £ 44 million over four years with the leading clubs taking 75 % of the cash . The 1988 negotiations were conducted under the threat of ten clubs leaving to form a `` super league '' , but were eventually persuaded to stay with the top clubs taking the lion share of the deal . As stadiums improved and match attendance and revenues rose , the country 's top teams again considered leaving the Football League in order to capitalise on the influx of money into the sport . Foundation See also : Foundation of the Premier League In 1990 , the managing director of London Weekend Television ( LWT ) , Greg Dyke , met with the representatives of the `` big five '' football clubs in England ( Manchester United , Liverpool , Tottenham , Everton and Arsenal ) over a dinner . The meeting was to pave the way for a break away from The Football League . Dyke believed that it would be more lucrative for LWT if only the larger clubs in the country were featured on national television and wanted to establish whether the clubs would be interested in a larger share of television rights money . The five clubs decided it was a good idea and decided to press ahead with it ; however , the league would have no credibility without the backing of The Football Association and so David Dein of Arsenal held talks to see whether the FA were receptive to the idea . The FA did not enjoy an amicable relationship with the Football League at the time and considered it as a way to weaken the Football League 's position . At the close of the 1991 season , a proposal was tabled for the establishment of a new league that would bring more money into the game overall . The Founder Members Agreement , signed on 17 July 1991 by the game 's top - flight clubs , established the basic principles for setting up the FA Premier League . The newly formed top division would have commercial independence from The Football Association and the Football League , giving the FA Premier League licence to negotiate its own broadcast and sponsorship agreements . The argument given at the time was that the extra income would allow English clubs to compete with teams across Europe . Although Dyke played a significant role in the creation of the Premier League , Dyke and ITV would lose out in the bidding for broadcast rights as BSkyB won with a bid of £ 304 million over five years with the BBC awarded the highlights package broadcast on Match of the Day . In 1992 , the First Division clubs resigned from the Football League en masse and on 27 May 1992 the FA Premier League was formed as a limited company working out of an office at the Football Association 's then headquarters in Lancaster Gate . This meant a break - up of the 104 - year - old Football League that had operated until then with four divisions ; the Premier League would operate with a single division and the Football League with three . There was no change in competition format ; the same number of teams competed in the top flight , and promotion and relegation between the Premier League and the new First Division remained the same as the old First and Second Divisions with three teams relegated from the league and three promoted . The league held its first season in 1992 -- 93 . It was composed of 22 clubs for that season . The first Premier League goal was scored by Brian Deane of Sheffield United in a 2 -- 1 win against Manchester United . The 22 inaugural members of the new Premier League were Arsenal , Aston Villa , Blackburn Rovers , Chelsea , Coventry City , Crystal Palace , Everton , Ipswich Town , Leeds United , Liverpool , Manchester City , Manchester United , Middlesbrough , Norwich City , Nottingham Forest , Oldham Athletic , Queens Park Rangers , Sheffield United , Sheffield Wednesday , Southampton , Tottenham Hotspur , and Wimbledon . Luton Town , Notts County , and West Ham United were the three teams relegated from the old first division at the end of the 1991 -- 92 season , and did not take part in the inaugural Premier League season .

During this decade , they dominated the top four spots , which came with UEFA Champions League qualification , taking all top - four places in 5 out of 6 seasons from 2003 -- 04 to 2008 -- 09 inclusive , while every season during the 2000s saw the `` Big Four '' always qualifying for European competition . Arsenal went as far as winning the league without losing a single game in 2003 -- 04 , the only time it has ever happened in the Premier League . During the 2000s , only four sides outside the `` Top Four '' managed to qualify for the Champions League : Leeds United ( 1999 -- 2000 ) , Newcastle United ( 2001 -- 02 and 2002 -- 03 ) , Everton ( 2004 -- 05 ) and Tottenham Hotspur ( 2009 -- 10 ) - each occupying the final Champions League spot , with the exception of Newcastle in the 2002 -- 03 season , who finished third . In May 2008 Kevin Keegan stated that `` Top Four '' dominance threatened the division , `` This league is in danger of becoming one of the most boring but great leagues in the world . '' Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said in defence : `` There are a lot of different tussles that go on in the Premier League depending on whether you 're at the top , in the middle or at the bottom that make it interesting . '' Between 2005 and 2011 , there was a Premier League representative in seven of the eight Champions League finals , with only `` Top Four '' clubs reaching that stage . Liverpool ( 2005 ) , Manchester United ( 2008 ) and Chelsea ( 2012 ) won the competition during this period , with Arsenal ( 2006 ) , Liverpool ( 2007 ) , Chelsea ( 2008 ) and Manchester United ( 2009 and 2011 ) all losing Champions League finals . Leeds United were the only non - `` Top Four '' side to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League , in the 2000 -- 01 season . No Premier League side has reached the final since Chelsea 's victory in 2012 - with only two reaching the semi-finals . Additionally , between the 1999 - 2000 and 2009 - 10 seasons , four Premier League sides reached UEFA Cup or Europa League finals , with only Liverpool managing to win the competition in 2001 . Arsenal ( 2000 ) , Middlesbrough ( 2006 ) and Fulham ( 2010 ) all lost their finals . The years following 2009 marked a shift in the structure of the `` Top Four '' with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City both breaking into the top four places on a regular basis . In the 2009 -- 10 season , Tottenham finished fourth and became the first team to break the top four since Everton five years prior . Criticism of the gap between an elite group of `` super clubs '' and the majority of the Premier League has continued , nevertheless , due to their increasing ability to spend more than the other Premier League clubs . Since the continued presence of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at the top end of the table , no side has won consecutive Premier League titles . By the end of the 2009 -- 10 season , each of the `` Top Four '' clubs had revenues in excess of € 200 million , while Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur had revenues of roughly € 150 million according to the Deloitte Football Money League . Manchester United had the largest revenue stream in the Premier League at € 349.8 million , while Aston Villa were the closest club to the new `` Big Six '' with revenues of € 109.4 million . Results of the ' Big Six ' during the 2010s Season ARS CHE LIV MCI MUN TOT 2010 -- 11 6 5 2011 -- 12 6 8 2012 -- 13 7 5 2013 -- 14 7 6 2014 -- 15 6 5 2015 -- 16 10 8 5 2016 -- 17 5 6 Top four 6 5 7 Top six 7 6 7 6 7 out of 7 League champions Champions League group stage Champions League play - off round Europa League Emergence of the `` Big Six '' ( 2010s ) Manchester City won the title in the 2011 -- 12 season , becoming the first club outside the `` Big Four '' to win since Blackburn Rovers in the 1994 -- 95 season . That season also saw two of the `` Big Four '' ( Chelsea and Liverpool ) finish outside the top four places for the first time since that season . The arrival of Manchester City as a new force in English football combined with Tottenham Hotspur finishing third and then second in the 2015 -- 16 and 2016 -- 17 seasons respectively meant that many viewed the `` Big Four '' as proliferating into the `` Big Six '' . With only four UEFA Champions League qualifying places available in the league , greater competition for qualification now exists , albeit from a narrow base of six clubs . In the following five seasons after the 2011 -- 12 campaign , Manchester United and Liverpool both found themselves outside of the top four three times while Chelsea finished 10th in the 2015 -- 16 season . Arsenal finished 5th in 2016 -- 17 , ending their record of 20 consecutive top - four finishes . In the 2015 -- 16 season , the top four was breached by a non `` Big Six '' side for the first time since Everton in 2005 . Leicester City were the surprise winners of the league , qualifying for the Champions League as a result . However , they were unable to follow up their title winning season with another strong season - finishing twelfth . Off the pitch , the `` Big Six '' wield financial power and influence , with these clubs arguing that they should be entitled to a greater share of revenue due to the greater stature of their clubs globally and the attractive football they aim to play . Objectors argue that the egalitarian revenue structure in the Premier League helps to maintain a competitive league which is vital for its future success . The 2016 -- 17 Deloitte Football Money League report showed the financial disparity between the `` Big Six '' and the rest of the division . All of the `` Big Six '' had revenues greater than € 350 million , with Manchester United having the largest revenue in the league at € 676.3 million . Leicester City were the closest club to the `` Big Six '' in terms of revenue , recording a figure of € 271.1 million for that season -- helped by participation in the Champions League . The eighth largest revenue generator West Ham , who did n't play in European competition , had revenues of € 213.3 million , nearly half of the fifth largest club , Liverpool ( € 424.2 million ) . Development See also : List of Premier League seasons Due to insistence by the International Federation of Association Football ( FIFA ) , the international governing body of football , that domestic leagues reduce the number of games clubs played , the number of clubs was reduced to 20 , down from 22 , in 1995 when four teams were relegated from the league and only two teams promoted . The top flight had only been expanded to 22 teams at the start of the 1991 -- 92 season - the year prior to the formation of the Premier League . On 8 June 2006 , FIFA requested that all major European leagues , including Italy 's Serie A and Spain 's La Liga , be reduced to 18 teams by the start of the 2007 -- 08 season . The Premier League responded by announcing their intention to resist such a reduction . Ultimately , the 2007 -- 08 season kicked off again with 20 teams , as did the other major European leagues with 20 teams . The league changed its name from the FA Premier League to simply the Premier League in 2007 . Corporate structure The Football Association Premier League Ltd ( FAPL ) is operated as a corporation and is owned by the 20 member clubs . Each club is a shareholder , with one vote each on issues such as rule changes and contracts . The clubs elect a chairman , chief executive , and board of directors to oversee the daily operations of the league . The current chairman is Sir Dave Richards , who was appointed in April 1999 , and the chief executive is Richard Scudamore , appointed in November 1999 . The former chairman and chief executive , John Quinton and Peter Leaver , were forced to resign in March 1999 after awarding consultancy contracts to former Sky executives Sam Chisholm and David Chance . The Football Association is not directly involved in the day - to - day operations of the Premier League , but has veto power as a special shareholder during the election of the chairman and chief executive and when new rules are adopted by the league . The Premier League sends representatives to UEFA 's European Club Association , the number of clubs and the clubs themselves chosen according to UEFA coefficients . For the 2012 -- 13 season the Premier League has 10 representatives in the Association : Arsenal , Aston Villa , Chelsea , Everton , Fulham , Liverpool , Manchester City , Manchester United , Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur . The European Club Association is responsible for electing three members to UEFA 's Club Competitions Committee , which is involved in the operations of UEFA competitions such as the Champions League and UEFA Europa League . Competition format Competition There are 20 clubs in the Premier League . During the course of a season ( from August to May ) each club plays the others twice ( a double round - robin system ) , once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents ' , for a total of 38 games . Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw . No points are awarded for a loss . Teams are ranked by total points , then goal difference , and then goals scored . If still equal , teams are deemed to occupy the same position . If there is a tie for the championship , for relegation , or for qualification to other competitions , a play - off match at a neutral venue decides rank . The three lowest placed teams are relegated into the EFL Championship , and the top two teams from the Championship , together with the winner of play - offs involving the third to sixth placed Championship clubs , are promoted in their place . Qualification for European competitions Arsenal against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League in 2011 As of the 2009 -- 10 season qualification for the UEFA Champions League changed , the top four teams in the Premier League qualify for the UEFA Champions League , with the top three teams directly entering the group stage . Previously only the top two teams qualified automatically . The fourth - placed team enters the Champions League at the play - off round for non-champions and must win a two - legged knockout tie in order to enter the group stage . The team placed fifth in the Premier League automatically qualifies for the UEFA Europa League , and the sixth and seventh - placed teams can also qualify , depending on the winners of the two domestic cup competitions i.e. the FA Cup and the EFL Cup . Two Europa League places are reserved for the winners of each tournament ; if the winner of either the FA Cup or EFL Cup qualifies for the Champions League , then that place will go to the next - best placed finisher in the Premier League . An exception to the usual European qualification system happened in 2005 , after Liverpool won the Champions League the year before , but did not finish in a Champions League qualification place in the Premier League that season . UEFA gave special dispensation for Liverpool to enter the Champions League , giving England five qualifiers . UEFA subsequently ruled that the defending champions qualify for the competition the following year regardless of their domestic league placing . However , for those leagues with four entrants in the Champions League , this meant that if the Champions League winner finished outside the top four in its domestic league , it would qualify at the expense of the fourth - placed team in the league . At that time , no association could have more than four entrants in the Champions League . This occurred in 2012 , when Chelsea -- who had won the Champions League that summer , but finished sixth in the league -- qualified for the Champions League in place of Tottenham Hotspur , who went into the Europa League . Starting with the 2015 -- 16 season , the Europa League champion automatically qualifies for the following season 's Champions League , and the maximum number of Champions League places for any single association has increased to five . An association with four Champions League places , such as The FA , will only earn a fifth place if a club from that association that does not qualify for the Champions League through its league wins either the Champions League or Europa League . In 2007 , the Premier League became the highest ranking European League based on the performances of English teams in European competitions over a five - year period . This broke the eight - year dominance of the Spanish league , La Liga . Premier League clubs in international competition Main article : Premier League clubs in international performance Between the 1992 -- 93 and the 2016 -- 17 seasons , Premier League clubs won the UEFA Champions League four times ( and had five runners - up ) , behind Spain 's La Liga with ten wins , and Italy 's Serie A with five wins ; ahead of , among others , Germany 's Bundesliga with three wins . The FIFA Club World Cup ( originally called the FIFA Club World Championship ) has been won once by a Premier League club ( Manchester United in 2008 ) , with two runners - up ( Liverpool in 2005 , Chelsea in 2012 ) , behind Spain 's La Liga with five wins , Brazil 's Brasileirão with four wins , and Italy 's Serie A with two wins ( see table here ) . Promotion and relegation A system of promotion and relegation exists between the Premier League and the EFL Championship . The three lowest placed teams in the Premier League are relegated to the Championship , and the top two teams from the Championship promoted to the Premier League , with an additional team promoted after a series of play - offs involving the third , fourth , fifth and sixth placed clubs . The Premier League had 22 teams when it began in 1992 , but this was reduced to the present 20 - team format in 1995 .

AFC Bournemouth , Stoke City , and Swansea City are the only clubs to have remained in the Premier League since their first promotion , having played 3 , 10 and 7 seasons ( out of 26 ) respectively .

The first Premier League match to be played outside England was Swansea City 's home match at the Liberty Stadium against Wigan Athletic on 20 August 2011 . In 2012 -- 13 , Swansea qualified for the Europa League by winning the League Cup . The number of Welsh clubs in the Premier League increased to two for the first time in 2013 -- 14 , as Cardiff City gained promotion , but they were relegated after their maiden season . Because they are members of the Football Association of Wales ( FAW ) , the question of whether clubs like Swansea should represent England or Wales in European competitions has caused long - running discussions in UEFA . Swansea took one of England 's three available places in the Europa League in 2013 -- 14 by winning the League Cup in 2012 -- 13 . The right of Welsh clubs to take up such English places was in doubt until UEFA clarified the matter in March 2012 , allowing them to participate . Scotland and Ireland Participation in the Premier League by some Scottish or Irish clubs has sometimes been discussed , but without result . The idea came closest to reality in 1998 , when Wimbledon received Premier League approval to relocate to Dublin , Ireland , but the move was blocked by the Football Association of Ireland . Additionally , the media occasionally discusses the idea that Scotland 's two biggest teams , Celtic and Rangers , should or will take part in the Premier League , but nothing has come of these discussions . Sponsorship See also : English football sponsorship From 1993 to 2016 , the Premier League had title sponsorship rights sold to two companies , which were Carling Brewery and Barclays Bank PLC ; Barclays was the most recent title sponsor , having sponsored the Premier League from 2001 through 2016 ( until 2004 , the title sponsorship was held through its Barclaycard brand before shifting to its main banking brand in 2004 ) . Period Sponsor Name 1992 -- 1993 No sponsor FA Premier League 1993 -- 2001 Carling FA Carling Premiership 2001 -- 2004 Barclaycard FA Barclaycard Premiership 2004 -- 2007 Barclays FA Barclays Premiership 2008 -- 2016 Barclays Premier League 2016 -- No Sponsor Premier League Barclays ' deal with the Premier League expired at the end of the 2015 -- 16 season . The FA announced on 4 June 2015 that it would not pursue any further title sponsorship deals for the Premier League , arguing that they wanted to build a `` clean '' brand for the competition more in line with those of major U.S. sports leagues . As well as sponsorship for the league itself , the Premier League has a number of official partners and suppliers . The official ball supplier for the league is Nike who have had the contract since the 2000 -- 01 season when they took over from Mitre . Finances See also : List of Premier League football club owners The Premier League has the highest revenue of any football league in the world , with total club revenues of € 2.48 billion in 2009 -- 10 . In 2013 -- 14 , due to improved television revenues and cost controls , the Premier League had net profits in excess of £ 78 million , exceeding all other football leagues . In 2010 the Premier League was awarded the Queen 's Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category for its outstanding contribution to international trade and the value it brings to English football and the United Kingdom 's broadcasting industry . The Premier League includes some of the richest football clubs in the world . Deloitte 's `` Football Money League '' listed seven Premier League clubs in the top 20 for the 2009 -- 10 season , and all 20 clubs were in the top 40 globally by the end of the 2013 -- 14 season , largely as a result of increased broadcasting revenue . From 2013 , the league generates € 2.2 billion per year in domestic and international television rights . Premier League clubs agreed in principle in December 2012 , to radical new cost controls . The two proposals consist of a break - even rule and a cap on the amount clubs can increase their wage bill by each season . With the new television deals on the horizon , momentum has been growing to find ways of preventing the majority of the cash going straight to players and agents . Central payments for the 2016 -- 17 season amounted to £ 2,398,515,773 across the 20 clubs , with each team receiving a flat participation fee of £ 35,301,989 and additional payments for TV broadcasts ( £ 1,016,690 for general UK rights to match highlights , £ 1,136,083 for each live UK broadcast of their games and £ 39,090,596 for all overseas rights ) , commercial rights ( a flat fee of £ 4,759,404 ) and a notional measure of `` merit '' which was based upon final league position . The merit component was a nominal sum of £ 1,941,609 multiplied by each finishing place , counted from the foot of the table ( e.g. , Burnley finished 16th in May 2017 , five places counting upwards , and received 5 × £ 1,941,609 = £ 9,708,045 merit payment ) .

Television has played a major role in the history of the Premier League . The League 's decision to assign broadcasting rights to BSkyB in 1992 was at the time a radical decision , but one that has paid off . At the time pay television was an almost untested proposition in the UK market , as was charging fans to watch live televised football . However , a combination of Sky 's strategy , the quality of Premier League football and the public 's appetite for the game has seen the value of the Premier League 's TV rights soar . The Premier League sells its television rights on a collective basis . This is in contrast to some other European Leagues , including La Liga , in which each club sells its rights individually , leading to a much higher share of the total income going to the top few clubs . The money is divided into three parts : half is divided equally between the clubs ; one quarter is awarded on a merit basis based on final league position , the top club getting twenty times as much as the bottom club , and equal steps all the way down the table ; the final quarter is paid out as facilities fees for games that are shown on television , with the top clubs generally receiving the largest shares of this . The income from overseas rights is divided equally between the twenty clubs . The first Sky television rights agreement was worth £ 304 million over five seasons . The next contract , negotiated to start from the 1997 -- 98 season , rose to £ 670 million over four seasons . The third contract was a £ 1.024 billion deal with BSkyB for the three seasons from 2001 -- 02 to 2003 -- 04 . The league brought in £ 320 million from the sale of its international rights for the three - year period from 2004 -- 05 to 2006 -- 07 . It sold the rights itself on a territory - by - territory basis . Sky 's monopoly was broken from August 2006 when Setanta Sports was awarded rights to show two out of the six packages of matches available . This occurred following an insistence by the European Commission that exclusive rights should not be sold to one television company . Sky and Setanta paid a total of £ 1.7 billion , a two - thirds increase which took many commentators by surprise as it had been widely assumed that the value of the rights had levelled off following many years of rapid growth . Setanta also hold rights to a live 3 pm match solely for Irish viewers . The BBC has retained the rights to show highlights for the same three seasons ( on Match of the Day ) for £ 171.6 million , a 63 per cent increase on the £ 105 million it paid for the previous three - year period . Sky and BT have agreed to jointly pay £ 84.3 million for delayed television rights to 242 games ( that is the right to broadcast them in full on television and over the internet ) in most cases for a period of 50 hours after 10 pm on matchday . Overseas television rights fetched £ 625 million , nearly double the previous contract . The total raised from these deals is more than £ 2.7 billion , giving Premier League clubs an average media income from league games of around £ 40 million - a-year from 2007 to 2010 . Cristiano Ronaldo preparing to take a free kick in a 2009 match between Manchester United and Liverpool . The TV rights agreement between the Premier League and Sky has faced accusations of being a cartel , and a number of court cases have arisen as a result . An investigation by the Office of Fair Trading in 2002 found BSkyB to be dominant within the pay TV sports market , but concluded that there were insufficient grounds for the claim that BSkyB had abused its dominant position . In July 1999 the Premier League 's method of selling rights collectively for all member clubs was investigated by the UK Restrictive Practices Court , who concluded that the agreement was not contrary to the public interest . The BBC 's highlights package on Saturday and Sunday nights , as well as other evenings when fixtures justify , will run until 2016 . Television rights alone for the period 2010 to 2013 have been purchased for £ 1.782 billion . On 22 June 2009 , due to troubles encountered by Setanta Sports after it failed to meet a final deadline over a £ 30 million payment to the Premier League , ESPN was awarded two packages of UK rights containing a total of 46 matches that were available for the 2009 -- 10 season as well as a package of 23 matches per season from 2010 -- 11 to 2012 -- 13 . On 13 June 2012 , the Premier League announced that BT had been awarded 38 games a season for the 2013 -- 14 through 2015 -- 16 seasons at £ 246 million - a-year . The remaining 116 games were retained by Sky who paid £ 760 million - a-year . The total domestic rights have raised £ 3.018 billion , an increase of 70.2 % over the 2010 -- 11 to 2012 -- 13 rights . The value of the licensing deal rose by another 70.2 % in 2015 , when Sky and BT paid a total of £ 5.136 billion to renew their contracts with the Premier League for another three years up to the 2018 -- 19 season . UK highlights Highlights programme Duration Channel Match of the Day 1992 -- 2001 , 2004 -- present BBC The Premiership 2001 -- 2004 ITV Between the 1998 -- 99 season and the 2012 -- 13 season , RTÉ broadcast highlights on Premier Soccer Saturday and occasionally Premier Soccer Sunday . During then between the 2004 -- 05 season and the 2006 -- 07 season , RTÉ broadcast 15 live matches on a Saturday afternoon with each match being called Premiership Live . In August 2016 , it was announced that the BBC would be creating a new magazine - style show for the Premier League entitled The Premier League Show . Worldwide The Premier League is the most - watched football league in the world , broadcast in 212 territories to 643 million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7 billion people , . The Premier League 's production arm , Premier League Productions , is operated by IMG Productions and produces all content for its international television partners . The Premier League is particularly popular in Asia , where it is the most widely distributed sports programme . In Australia , Optus telecommunications holds exclusive rights to the Premier League , providing live broadcasts and online access ( Fox Sports formerly held rights ) . In India , the matches are broadcast live on STAR Sports . In China , the broadcast rights were awarded to Super Sports in a six - year agreement that began in the 2013 -- 14 season . As of the 2013 -- 14 season , Canadian broadcast rights to the Premier League are jointly owned by Sportsnet and TSN , with both rival networks holding rights to 190 matches per season . The Premier League is broadcast in the United States through NBC Sports . Premier League viewership has increased rapidly , with NBC and NBCSN averaging a record 479,000 viewers in the 2014 -- 15 season , up 118 % from 2012 -- 13 when coverage still aired on Fox Soccer and ESPN / ESPN2 ( 220,000 viewers ) , and NBC Sports has been widely praised for its coverage . NBC Sports reached a six - year extension with the Premier League in 2015 to broadcast the league through the 2021 -- 22 season in a deal valued at $1 billion ( £ 640 million ) . Widening gap with lower leagues See also : Premier League -- Football League gulf There has been an increasing gulf between the Premier League and the Football League . Since its split with the Football League , many established clubs in the Premier League have managed to distance themselves from their counterparts in lower leagues . Owing in large part to the disparity in revenue from television rights between the leagues , many newly promoted teams have found it difficult to avoid relegation in their first season in the Premier League . In every season except 2001 -- 02 and 2011 -- 12 , at least one Premier League newcomer has been relegated back to the Football League . In 1997 -- 98 all three promoted clubs were relegated at the end of the season . The Premier League distributes a portion of its television revenue to clubs that are relegated from the league in the form of `` parachute payments '' . Starting with the 2013 -- 14 season , these payments are in excess of £ 60 million over four seasons . Though designed to help teams adjust to the loss of television revenues ( the average Premier League team receives £ 55 million while the average Football League Championship club receives £ 2 million ) , critics maintain that the payments actually widen the gap between teams that have reached the Premier League and those that have not , leading to the common occurrence of teams `` bouncing back '' soon after their relegation . For some clubs who have failed to win immediate promotion back to the Premier League , financial problems , including in some cases administration or even liquidation have followed . Further relegations down the footballing ladder have ensued for several clubs unable to cope with the gap . Stadiums Main article : List of Premier League stadiums As of the 2017 -- 18 season , Premier League football has been played in 58 stadiums since the formation of the division . The Hillsborough disaster in 1989 and the subsequent Taylor Report saw a recommendation that standing terraces should be abolished ; as a result all stadiums in the Premier League are all - seater . Since the formation of the Premier League , football grounds in England have seen constant improvements to capacity and facilities , with some clubs moving to new - build stadiums . Nine stadiums that have seen Premier League football have now been demolished . The stadiums for the 2017 -- 18 season show a large disparity in capacity : Wembley Stadium , the temporary home of Tottenham Hotspur , has a capacity of 90,000 with Dean Court , the home of Bournemouth , having a capacity of 11,360 . The combined total capacity of the Premier League in the 2017 -- 18 season is 806,033 with an average capacity of 40,302 . Stadium attendances are a significant source of regular income for Premier League clubs . For the 2016 -- 17 season , average attendances across the league clubs were 35,838 for Premier League matches with a total aggregate attendance figure of 13,618,596 . This represents an increase of 14,712 from the average attendance of 21,126 recorded in the league 's first season ( 1992 -- 93 ) . However , during the 1992 -- 93 season the capacities of most stadiums were reduced as clubs replaced terraces with seats in order to meet the Taylor Report 's 1994 -- 95 deadline for all - seater stadiums . The Premier League 's record average attendance of 36,144 was set during the 2007 -- 08 season . This record was then beaten in the 2013 -- 14 season recording an average attendance of 36,695 with a total attendance of just under 14 million , the highest average in England 's top flight since 1950 . Managers See also : List of Premier League managers Managers in the Premier League are involved in the day - to - day running of the team , including the training , team selection , and player acquisition . Their influence varies from club - to - club and is related to the ownership of the club and the relationship of the manager with fans . Managers are required to have a UEFA Pro Licence which is the final coaching qualification available , and follows the completion of the UEFA ' B ' and ' A ' Licences . The UEFA Pro Licence is required by every person who wishes to manage a club in the Premier League on a permanent basis ( i.e. more than 12 weeks -- the amount of time an unqualified caretaker manager is allowed to take control ) . Caretaker appointments are managers that fill the gap between a managerial departure and a new appointment . Several caretaker managers have gone on to secure a permanent managerial post after performing well as a caretaker ; examples include Paul Hart at Portsmouth and David Pleat at Tottenham Hotspur . The league 's longest - serving manager was Alex Ferguson , who was in charge of Manchester United from November 1986 until his retirement at the end of the 2012 -- 13 season , meaning that he was manager for all of the first 21 seasons of the Premier League . Arsène Wenger is the league 's longest - serving current manager , having been in charge of Arsenal in the Premier League since 1996 . As of the 22nd game - week of the 2017 / 2018 season , 7 managers have been sacked , the most recent being Mark Hughes of Stoke City . There have been several studies into the reasoning behind , and effects of , managerial sackings . Most famously , Professor Sue Bridgewater of the University of Liverpool and Dr. Bas ter Weel of the University of Amsterdam , performed two separate studies which helped to explain the statistics behind managerial sackings . Bridgewater 's study found that clubs generally sack their managers upon dropping below an average of 1 point - per - game .

Italicised players still playing professional football . Bolded players still playing in Premier League . Foreign players and transfer Regulations See also : List of foreign Premier League players and List of foreign Premier League goalscorers At the inception of the Premier League in 1992 -- 93 , just eleven players named in the starting line - ups for the first round of matches hailed from outside of the United Kingdom or Ireland . By 2000 -- 01 , the number of foreign players participating in the Premier League was 36 per cent of the total . In the 2004 -- 05 season the figure had increased to 45 per cent . On 26 December 1999 , Chelsea became the first Premier League side to field an entirely foreign starting line - up , and on 14 February 2005 Arsenal were the first to name a completely foreign 16 - man squad for a match . By 2009 , under 40 % of the players in the Premier League were English . In response to concerns that clubs were increasingly passing over young English players in favour of foreign players , in 1999 , the Home Office tightened its rules for granting work permits to players from countries outside of the European Union . A non-EU player applying for the permit must have played for his country in at least 75 per cent of its competitive ' A ' team matches for which he was available for selection during the previous two years , and his country must have averaged at least 70th place in the official FIFA world rankings over the previous two years . If a player does not meet those criteria , the club wishing to sign him may appeal . Players may only be transferred during transfer windows that are set by the Football Association . The two transfer windows run from the last day of the season to 31 August and from 31 December to 31 January . Player registrations can not be exchanged outside these windows except under specific licence from the FA , usually on an emergency basis . As of the 2010 -- 11 season , the Premier League introduced new rules mandating that each club must register a maximum 25 - man squad of players aged over 21 , with the squad list only allowed to be changed in transfer windows or in exceptional circumstances . This was to enable the ' home grown ' rule to be enacted , whereby the League would also from 2010 require at least 8 of the named 25 man squad to be made up of ' home - grown players ' . Player wages and transfer fees See also : Progression of British football transfer fee record There is no team or individual salary cap in the Premier League . As a result of the increasingly lucrative television deals , player wages rose sharply following the formation of the Premier League when the average player wage was £ 75,000 per year . The average salary stands at £ 1.1 million as of the 2008 -- 09 season . As of 2015 , average salaries in the Premier League are higher than for any other football league in the world . The record transfer fee for a Premier League player has risen steadily over the lifetime of the competition . Prior to the start of the first Premier League season Alan Shearer became the first British player to command a transfer fee of more than £ 3 million . The record rose steadily in the Premier League 's first few seasons , until Alan Shearer made a record breaking £ 15 million move to Newcastle United in 1996 . All three of the most expensive transfers in the sport 's history had a Premier League club on the selling or buying end , with Juventus selling Paul Pogba to Manchester United in August 2016 for a fee of £ 89 million , Tottenham Hotspur selling Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for £ 85 million in 2013 , Manchester United 's sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid for £ 80 million in 2009 , and Liverpool selling Luis Suárez to Barcelona for £ 75 million in 2014 .

The Golden Boot is awarded to the top Premier League scorer at the end of each season . Former Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer holds the record for most Premier League goals with 260 . Twenty - five players have reached the 100 - goal mark . Since the first Premier League season in 1992 -- 93 , 14 different players from 10 different clubs have won or shared the top scorers title . Thierry Henry won his fourth overall scoring title by scoring 27 goals in the 2005 -- 06 season . Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer hold the record for most goals in a season ( 34 ) -- for Newcastle and Blackburn respectively . Ryan Giggs of Manchester United holds the record for scoring goals in consecutive seasons , having scored in the first 21 seasons of the league . Awards Trophy The Premier League trophy The gold Premier League trophy awarded to Arsenal for winning the 2003 -- 04 title without defeat The Premier League maintains two trophies -- the genuine trophy ( held by the reigning champions ) and a spare replica . Two trophies are held in the event that two different clubs could win the League on the final day of the season . In the rare event that more than two clubs are vying for the title on the final day of the season -- then a replica won by a previous club is used . The current Premier League trophy was created by Royal Jewellers Asprey of London . It consists of a trophy with a golden crown and a malachite plinth base . The plinth weighs 33 pounds ( 15 kg ) and the trophy weighs 22 pounds ( 10.0 kg ) . The trophy and plinth are 76 cm ( 30 in ) tall , 43 cm ( 17 in ) wide and 25 cm ( 9.8 in ) deep . Its main body is solid sterling silver and silver gilt , while its plinth is made of malachite , a semi-precious stone . The plinth has a silver band around its circumference , upon which the names of the title - winning clubs are listed . Malachite 's green colour is also representative of the green field of play . The design of the trophy is based on the heraldry of Three Lions that is associated with English football . Two of the lions are found above the handles on either side of the trophy -- the third is symbolised by the captain of the title - winning team as he raises the trophy , and its gold crown , above his head at the end of the season . The ribbons that drape the handles are presented in the team colours of the league champions that year . In 2004 , a special gold version of the trophy was commissioned to commemorate Arsenal winning the title without a single defeat . Player and manager awards In addition to the winner 's trophy and the individual winner 's medals awarded to players , the Premier League also awards the monthly Manager of the Month , Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards , as well as annual awards for Manager of the Season , Player of the Season , Golden Boot and the Golden Glove awards. . From the 2017 / 18 season , players also receive a milestone award for 100 appearances and every century there after and also players who score 50 goals and multiples thereof . Each player to reach these milestones will receive a presentation box from the Premier League containing a special medallion and a plaque commemorating their achievement . 20 seasons awards Further information : Premier League 20 Seasons Awards and Premier League 10 Seasons Awards In 2012 , the Premier League celebrated its second decade by holding the 20 Seasons Awards : Fantasy Team of the 20 Seasons Panel Choice : Peter Schmeichel , Gary Neville , Tony Adams , Rio Ferdinand , Ashley Cole , Cristiano Ronaldo , Roy Keane , Paul Scholes , Ryan Giggs , Thierry Henry , Alan Shearer Public Vote : Peter Schmeichel , Gary Neville , Tony Adams , Nemanja Vidić , Ashley Cole , Cristiano Ronaldo , Steven Gerrard , Paul Scholes , Ryan Giggs , Thierry Henry , Alan Shearer Best Manager : Sir Alex Ferguson Best Player : Ryan Giggs Most Appearances : Gareth Barry ( 652 ) Top Goalscorer : Alan Shearer ( 260 ) Most Clean Sheets : David James ( 173 ) 500 Club : Steven Gerrard , Jamie Carragher , Gareth Barry , Ryan Giggs , David James , Gary Speed , Frank Lampard , Emile Heskey , and Sol Campbell .

In addition to the shootings , the complex and highly planned attack involved a fire bomb to divert firefighters , propane tanks converted to bombs placed in the cafeteria , 99 explosive devices , and carbombs . The perpetrators , senior students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold , murdered 12 students and one teacher . They injured 21 additional people , and three more were injured while attempting to escape the school . The pair subsequently committed suicide . Although their precise motives remain unclear , the personal journals of the perpetrators document that they wished their actions to rival the Oklahoma City bombing and other deadly incidents in the United States in the 1990s . The attack has been referred to by USA Today as a `` suicidal attack ( that was ) planned as a grand -- if badly implemented -- terrorist bombing . '' The massacre has been reported as `` the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history . '' The massacre sparked debate over gun control laws , high school cliques , subcultures , and bullying . It resulted in an increased emphasis on school security with zero tolerance policies , and a moral panic over goth culture , gun culture , social outcasts ( even though the perpetrators were not outcasts ) , the use of pharmaceutical anti-depressants by teenagers , teenage Internet use , and violence in video games .

In 1996 , Eric Harris created a private website on America Online . Harris initially created the site to host gaming levels he and his friend , Dylan Klebold , created for use in the video game Doom , primarily for friends . On this site , Harris began a blog , which included jokes and short journal entries with thoughts on parents , school , and friends . By the end of the year , the site contained instructions on how to cause mischief , as well as instructions on how to make explosives , and blogs in which he described the trouble he and Klebold were causing . Beginning in early 1997 , the blog postings began to show the first signs of Harris 's ever - growing anger against society . Harris 's site attracted few visitors , and caused no concern until March 1998 . Klebold gave the web address to Brooks Brown , a former friend of Harris . Brown 's mother had filed numerous complaints with the Jefferson County Sheriff 's office concerning Harris , as she thought he was dangerous . The website contained numerous death threats directed against Brown : Klebold knew that if Brooks accessed the address , he would discover the content and inform his parents , and likely the authorities would be notified . After Brown 's parents viewed the site , they contacted the Jefferson County Sheriff 's Office . The investigator Michael Guerra was told about the website . When he accessed it , Guerra discovered numerous violent threats directed against the students and teachers of Columbine High School . Other material included blurbs that Harris had written about his general hatred of society , and his desire to kill those who annoyed him . Harris had noted on his site that he had made pipe bombs , in addition to a hit list of individuals ( he did not post any plan on how he intended to attack targets ) . As Harris had posted on his website that he possessed explosives , Guerra wrote a draft affidavit , requesting a search warrant of the Harris household . The affidavit also mentioned a suspicion of Harris being involved in an unsolved pipe bomb case in February 1998 . The affidavit was never filed . It was concealed by the Jefferson County Sheriff 's Office and not revealed until September 2001 , resulting from an investigation by the TV show 60 Minutes . After the revelation about the affidavit , a series of grand jury investigations were begun into the cover - up activities of Jefferson County officials . The investigation revealed that high - ranking county officials had met a few days after the massacre to discuss the release of the affidavit to the public . It was decided that because the affidavit 's contents lacked the necessary probable cause to have supported the issuance of a search warrant for the Harris household by a judge , it would be best not to disclose the affidavit 's existence at an upcoming press conference , although the actual conversations and points of discussion were never revealed to anyone other than the grand jury members . Following the press conference , the original Guerra documents disappeared . In September 1999 , a Jefferson County investigator failed to find the documents during a secret search of the county 's computer system . A second attempt in late 2000 found copies of the document within the Jefferson County archives . The documents were reconstructed and released to the public in September 2001 , but the original documents are still missing . The final grand jury investigation was released in September 2004 . On January 30 , 1998 , Harris and Klebold stole tools and other equipment from a van parked near the city of Littleton . Both youths were arrested and subsequently attended a joint court hearing , where they pleaded guilty to the felony theft . The judge sentenced the duo to attend a juvenile diversion program . There , both boys attended mandated classes and talked with diversion officers . One of their classes taught anger management . Harris also began attending therapy classes with a psychologist . Klebold had a history of drinking and had failed a dilute urine test , but neither he nor Harris attended any substance abuse classes . Harris and Klebold were eventually released from diversion several weeks early because of positive actions in the program ; they were both on probation . Shortly after Harris ' and Klebold 's court hearing , Harris 's online blog disappeared . His website was reverted to its original purpose of posting user - created levels of Doom . Harris began to write in a journal , in which he recorded his thoughts and plans . In April 1998 , as part of his diversion program , Harris wrote a letter of apology to the owner of the van . However , around the same time , he furiously derided him in his journal , stating that he believed himself to have the right to steal something if he wanted to . Harris continued his scheduled meetings with his psychologist until a few months before he and Klebold committed the Columbine High School massacre . Harris dedicated a section of his website to posting content regarding his and Klebold 's progress in their collection of guns and building of bombs ( they subsequently used both in attacking students at their school ) . After the website was made public , AOL permanently deleted it from its servers . Medication In one scheduled meeting with his appointed psychiatrist , Harris had complained of depression , anger , and suicidal thoughts . As a result , he was prescribed the anti-depressant Zoloft . He complained of feeling restless and having trouble concentrating ; in April , his doctor switched him to Luvox , a similar anti-depressant drug . Journals and videos Harris and Klebold both began keeping journals soon after their 1998 arrests . In these journals , the pair documented their arsenal with video tapes they kept secret . Their journals documented their plan for a major bombing to rival that of the Oklahoma City bombing . Their entries contained blurbs about ways to escape to Mexico , hijacking an aircraft at Denver International Airport and crashing it into a building in New York City ( foreshadowing the September 11 attacks by two years ) , and details about the planned attack . The pair hoped that , after detonating their home - made explosives in the cafeteria at the busiest time of day , killing hundreds of students , they would shoot survivors fleeing from the school . Then , as police vehicles , ambulances , fire trucks , and reporters came to the school , bombs set in the boys ' cars would detonate , killing these emergency and other personnel . That did not happen , since these explosives did not detonate . The pair kept videos that documented the explosives , ammunition , and weapons they had obtained illegally . They revealed the ways they hid their arsenals in their homes , as well as how they deceived their parents about their activities . The pair shot videos of doing target practice in nearby foothills , as well as areas of the high school they planned to attack . On April 20 , approximately thirty minutes before the attack , they made a final video saying goodbye and apologizing to their friends and families . Firearms In the months prior to the attacks , Harris and Klebold acquired two 9 mm firearms and two 12 - gauge shotguns . Their friend , Robyn Anderson , had inadvertently bought a rifle and the two shotguns used in the massacre at the Tanner Gun Show in December 1998 . Through Philip Duran , another friend , Harris and Klebold later bought a handgun from Mark Manes for $500 . Using instructions obtained via the Internet , Harris and Klebold constructed a total of 99 improvised explosive devices of various designs and sizes . They sawed the barrels and butts off their shotguns to make them easier to conceal . On the day of the massacre , Harris was equipped with a 12 - gauge Savage - Springfield 67H pump - action shotgun ( which he discharged a total of 25 times ) and a Hi - Point 995 Carbine 9 mm carbine with thirteen 10 - round magazines ( which he fired a total of 96 times ) . Klebold was equipped with a 9 × 19mm Intratec TEC - 9 semi-automatic handgun with one 52 - , one 32 - , and one 28 - round magazine and a 12 - gauge Stevens 311D double - barreled sawed - off shotgun . Klebold primarily fired the TEC - 9 handgun for a total of 55 times , while he discharged a total of 12 rounds from his double - barreled shotgun . April 20 , 1999 : the massacre Prior to the massacre On the morning of Tuesday , April 20 , 1999 , Harris and Klebold placed a small fire bomb in a field about three miles south of Columbine High School , and two miles south of the fire station . Set to explode at 11 : 14 a.m. , the bomb was intended as a diversion to draw firefighters and emergency personnel away from the school ( it partially detonated and caused a small fire , which was quickly extinguished by the fire department ) . At 11 : 10 a.m. , Harris and Klebold arrived separately at Columbine High School . Harris parked his vehicle in the junior student parking lot , by the south entrance , and Klebold parked in the adjoining senior student parking lot , by the west entrance . The school cafeteria , their primary bomb target , with its long outside window - wall and ground - level doors , was between their parking spots . After parking their cars -- each containing concealed bombs timed to detonate at 12 : 00 -- the duo met near Harris ' car and armed two 20 pound ( 9 kg ) propane bombs before entering the cafeteria a few minutes prior to the beginning of the `` A '' lunch shift . The youths placed the duffel bags containing the bombs -- set to explode at approximately 11 : 17 a.m. -- inside the cafeteria before returning to their separate vehicles to await the explosion and shoot survivors fleeing the building . Had these bombs exploded with full power , they would have killed or severely wounded all 488 students in the cafeteria and possibly collapsed the ceiling , dropping part of the library into the cafeteria . A Jefferson County Sheriff 's Deputy , Neil Gardner , was assigned to the high school as a full - time uniformed and armed school resource officer . Gardner usually ate lunch with students in the cafeteria , but on April 20 he was eating lunch in his patrol car at the northwest corner of the campus , watching students in the Smokers ' Pit in Clement Park . The security staff at Columbine did not observe the bombs being placed in the cafeteria , since a custodian was replacing the school security video tape as it happened . The bags holding the bombs were first visible on the fresh security tape , but they were not identified as suspicious items . No witness recalled seeing the duffel bags being added to the 400 or so backpacks already in the cafeteria . As the two youths returned to their vehicles , Harris encountered Brooks Brown , a friend and classmate with whom he had recently patched up a longstanding series of disagreements . Brown , who was in the parking lot smoking a cigarette , was surprised to see Harris , whom he had earlier noted had been absent from an important class test . Harris seemed unconcerned when reminded of this fact by Brown , commenting , `` It does n't matter anymore . '' Harris then elaborated : `` Brooks , I like you now . Get out of here . Go home . '' Brown , feeling uneasy , walked away . Several minutes later , students departing Columbine for their lunch break observed Brown heading down South Pierce Street away from the school . Meanwhile , Harris and Klebold armed themselves by their vehicles and waited for the bombs to explode . 11 : 19 a.m. : shooting begins When the cafeteria bombs failed to explode , Harris and Klebold convened and walked toward the school . Both armed , they climbed to the top of the outdoor west entrance steps , placing them on a level with the athletic fields west of the building and the library inside the west entrance , directly above the cafeteria . From this vantage point , the cafeteria 's west entrance was located at the bottom of the staircase , next to the senior parking lot . Injuries and deaths in initial incident 1 . Rachel Scott , age 17 . Killed by shots to the head , torso , and leg alongside the west entrance of the school . 2 . Richard Castaldo , age 17 . Shot in the arm , chest , back , and abdomen alongside the west entrance to the school . 3 . Daniel Rohrbough , age 15 . Fatally injured by shots to the abdomen and leg on the west staircase , shot through the upper chest at the base of the same staircase . 4 . Sean Graves , age 15 . Shot in the back , foot , and abdomen on the west staircase . 5 . Lance Kirklin , age 16 . Critically injured by shots to the leg , neck , and jaw on the west staircase . 6 . Michael Johnson , age 15 . Shot in the face , arm , and leg to the west of the staircase . 7 . Mark Taylor , age 16 . Shot in the chest , arms , and leg to the west of the staircase . 8 . Anne - Marie Hochhalter , age 17 . Shot in the chest , arm , abdomen , back , and left leg near the cafeteria 's entrance . 9 . Brian Anderson , age 17 . Injured near the west entrance by flying glass . 10 . Patti Nielson , age 35 . Hit in the shoulder by shrapnel near the west entrance . 11 . Stephanie Munson , age 17 . Shot in the ankle inside the North Hallway . 12 . William David Sanders , age 47 . Died of blood loss after being shot in the neck and back inside the South Hallway . At 11 : 19 a.m. , 17 - year - old Rachel Scott was having lunch with friend Richard Castaldo while sitting on the grass next to the west entrance of the school . Castaldo said he saw one of the boys throw a pipe bomb , which only partially detonated . Thinking the bomb was no more than a crude senior prank , Castaldo did not take it seriously . At that moment , a witness heard Eric Harris yell , `` Go ! Go ! '' The two gunmen pulled their guns from beneath their trench coats and began shooting at Castaldo and Scott . Scott was hit four times and killed instantly . Castaldo was shot eight times in the chest , arm , and abdomen and paralyzed below the chest , falling into unconsciousness . It is unknown who fired first ; however , Harris was the one who shot and killed Scott , and Castaldo reported that Scott was hit before he was . After the first two shootings , Harris removed his trench coat and aimed his 9 mm carbine down the west staircase toward three youths : 15 - year - olds Daniel Rohrbough and Sean Graves and 16 - year - old Lance Kirklin . The three friends had been ascending the staircase directly below the shooters . Kirklin later reported seeing Klebold and Harris standing at the top of the staircase , before the pair opened fire . All three youths were shot and wounded . Inside the school , some of the students had believed that they were bearing witness to a senior prank by the two seniors . But in the cafeteria , Dave Sanders , a computer and business teacher as well as a varsity coach , quickly realized it was not a prank but a deliberate attack on the school . Harris and Klebold turned and began shooting west in the direction of five students sitting on the grassy hillside adjacent to the steps and opposite the west entrance of the school . 15 - year - old Michael Johnson was hit in the face , leg , and arm , but ran and escaped ; 16 - year - old Mark Taylor was shot in the chest , arms , and leg and fell to the ground , where he feigned death . The other three escaped uninjured . Klebold walked down the steps toward the cafeteria . He came up to Kirklin , who was already wounded and lying on the ground , weakly calling for help . Klebold said , `` Sure . I 'll help you , '' then shot Kirklin in the face , critically wounding him . Daniel Rohrbough and Sean Graves had descended the staircase when Klebold and Harris ' attention was diverted by the students on the grass ; Graves -- paralyzed beneath the waist -- had crawled into the doorway of the cafeteria 's west entrance and collapsed . Klebold shot Rohrbough , who was already fatally wounded by the shots previously fired by Harris , at close range through the upper left chest and then stepped over the injured Sean Graves to enter the cafeteria . Officials speculated that Klebold went to the cafeteria to check on the propane bombs . Harris shot down the steps at several students sitting near the cafeteria 's entrance , severely wounding and partially paralyzing 17 - year - old Anne - Marie Hochhalter as she tried to flee . Klebold came out of the cafeteria and went back up the stairs to join Harris . They shot toward students standing close to a soccer field , but did not hit anyone . They walked toward the west entrance , throwing pipe bombs , very few of which detonated . Meanwhile , inside the school , Patti Nielson , an art teacher , had noticed the commotion and walked toward the west entrance with a 17 - year - old student , Brian Anderson . She had intended to walk outside to tell the two students to `` Knock it off , '' thinking Klebold and Harris were either filming a video or pulling a student prank . As Anderson opened the first set of double doors , Harris and Klebold shot out the windows , injuring him with flying glass and hitting Nielson in the shoulder with shrapnel . Nielson stood and ran back down the hall into the library , alerting the students inside to the danger and telling them to get under desks and keep silent . Nielson dialed 9 - 1 - 1 and hid under the library 's administrative counter . Anderson remained behind , caught between the exterior and interior doors . 11 : 22 a.m. : police response At 11 : 22 , the custodian called Deputy Neil Gardner , the assigned Student Resource Officer to Columbine , on the school radio , requesting assistance in the senior parking lot . The only paved route took him around the school to the east and south on Pierce Street , where , at 11 : 23 he heard on his police radio that a female was down , and assumed she had been struck by a car . While exiting his patrol car in the Senior lot at 11 : 24 , he heard another call on the school radio , `` Neil , there 's a shooter in the school '' . Harris , at the west entrance , immediately turned and fired ten shots from his carbine at Gardner , who was sixty yards away . As Harris reloaded his carbine , Gardner leaned over the top of his car and fired four rounds at Harris from his service pistol . Harris ducked back behind the building , and Gardner momentarily believed that he had hit him . Harris then reemerged and fired at least four more rounds at Gardner ( which missed and struck two parked cars ) , before retreating into the building . No one was hit during the exchange of gunfire . Gardner was not wearing his prescription eyeglasses , and was unable to hit the shooters . Thus , five minutes after the shooting started , and two minutes after the first radio call , Gardner had engaged in a gunfight with one of the student shooters . There were already two students dead and ten wounded . Gardner reported on his police radio , `` Shots in the building . I need someone in the south lot with me . '' The gunfight distracted Harris and Klebold from the injured Brian Anderson . Anderson escaped to the library and hid inside an open staff break room . Back in the school , the duo moved along the main North Hallway , throwing pipe bombs and shooting at anyone they encountered . Klebold shot Stephanie Munson in the ankle , although she was able to walk out of the school . The pair then shot out the windows to the East Entrance of the school . After proceeding through the hall several times and shooting toward -- and missing -- any students they saw , Harris and Klebold went toward the west entrance and turned into the Library Hallway . Deputy Paul Smoker , a motorcycle patrolman for the Jefferson County Sheriff 's Office , was writing a traffic ticket north of the school when the `` female down '' call came in at 11 : 23 , most likely referring to the already dead Rachel Scott . Taking the shortest route , he drove his motorcycle over grass between the athletic fields and headed toward the west entrance . When he saw Deputy Scott Taborsky following him in a patrol car , he abandoned his motorcycle for the safety of the car . The two deputies had begun to rescue two wounded students near the ball fields when another gunfight broke out at 11 : 26 , as Harris returned to the double doors and again began shooting at Deputy Gardner , who returned fire . From the hilltop , Deputy Smoker fired three rounds from his pistol at Harris , who again retreated into the building . As before , no one was hit . Inside the school , teacher Dave Sanders had successfully evacuated students from the cafeteria ; where some of them went up a staircase leading to the second floor of the school . The stairs were located around the corner from the Library Hallway in the main South Hallway . By now , Harris and Klebold were inside the main hallway . Sanders and another student were down at the end of the hallway still trying to secure as much of the school as they could . As they ran , they encountered Harris and Klebold , who were approaching from the corner of the North Hallway . Sanders and the student turned and ran in the opposite direction . Harris and Klebold shot at them both , with Harris hitting Sanders twice in the chest but missing the student . The latter ran into a science classroom and warned everyone to hide . Klebold walked over towards Sanders , who had collapsed , to look for the student but returned to Harris up the North Hallway . Sanders struggled toward the science area , and a teacher took him into a classroom where 30 students were located . They placed a sign in the window : `` 1 bleeding to death , '' in order to alert police and medical personnel of Sanders ' location . Due to his knowledge of first aid , student Aaron Hancey was brought to the classroom from another by teachers despite the unfolding commotion . With the assistance of a fellow student named Kevin Starkey , and teacher Teresa Miller , Hancey administered first aid to Sanders for three hours ; attempting to stem the blood loss using shirts from students in the room . Using a phone in the room , Miller and several students maintained contact with police outside the school . All the students in this room were evacuated safely . 11 : 29 a.m. -- 11 : 36 a.m. : library massacre 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 . ( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) As the shooting unfolded , Patti Nielson talked on the phone with emergency services , telling her story and urging students to take cover beneath desks . According to transcripts , her call was received by a 9 - 1 - 1 operator at 11 : 25 : 05 a.m. The time between the call being answered and the shooters entering the library was four minutes and ten seconds . Before entering , the shooters threw two bombs into the cafeteria , both of which exploded . They then threw another bomb into the Library Hallway ; it exploded and damaged several lockers . At 11 : 29 a.m. , Harris and Klebold entered the library , where a total of 52 students , two teachers and two librarians had concealed themselves . Harris yelled , `` Get up ! '' so loudly that he can be heard on Patti Nielson 's 9 - 1 - 1 recording at 11 : 29 : 18 . Staff and students hiding in the library exterior rooms later said they also heard the gunmen say : `` All jocks stand up ! We 'll get the guys in white hats ! '' ( Wearing a white baseball cap at Columbine was a tradition among sports team members , typically jocks . ) When no one stood up in response , Harris said , `` Fine , I 'll start shooting anyway ! '' He fired his shotgun twice at a desk , not knowing that a student named Evan Todd was hiding beneath it . Todd was hit by wood splinters but was not seriously injured . The shooters walked to the opposite side of the library , to two rows of computers . Todd hid behind the administrative counter . Kyle Velasquez , 16 , was sitting at the north row of computers ; police later said he had not hidden underneath the desk when Klebold and Harris had first entered the library , but had curled up under the computer table . Klebold shot and killed Velasquez , hitting him in the head and back . Klebold and Harris put down their ammunition - filled duffel bags at the south -- or lower -- row of computers and reloaded their weapons . They walked back toward the windows facing the outside staircase . Noticing police evacuating students outside the school , Harris said : `` Let 's go kill some cops . '' He and Klebold began to shoot out the windows in the direction of the police . Officers returned fire , and Harris and Klebold retreated from the windows ; no one was injured . Injuries and deaths in the library 13 . Evan Todd , age 15 . Sustained minor injuries from the splintering of a desk he was hiding under . 14 . Kyle Velasquez , age 16 .

Corey DePooter , age 17 . Killed by shots to the chest and neck . After firing through the windows at evacuating students and the police , Klebold fired his shotgun at a nearby table , injuring three students : Patrick Ireland , Daniel Steepleton , and Makai Hall . He removed his trench coat . As Klebold fired at the three , Harris grabbed his shotgun and walked toward the lower row of computer desks , firing a single shot under the first desk without looking . He hit 14 - year - old Steven Curnow with a mortal wound to the neck . Harris then shot under the adjacent computer desk , injuring 17 - year - old Kacey Ruegsegger with a shot which passed completely through her right shoulder and hand , also grazing her neck and severing a major artery . When she started gasping in pain , Harris tersely stated , `` Quit your bitching . '' Harris walked over to the table across from the lower computer row , slapped the surface twice and knelt , saying `` Peek - a-boo '' to 17 - year - old Cassie Bernall before shooting her once in the head , killing her instantly . Harris had been holding the shotgun with one hand at this point and the weapon hit his face in recoil , breaking his nose . Initial reports suggest that Harris asked Bernall `` Do you believe in God ? '' , to which she replied yes , before getting killed . However , three students who witnessed Bernall 's death , including Emily Wyant , who had been hiding beneath the table with her , have testified that Bernall did not exchange words with Harris after his initial taunt , although Wyant stated Bernall had been praying prior to her murder . After fatally shooting Bernall , Harris turned toward the next table , where Bree Pasquale sat next to the table rather than under it . Harris asked Pasquale if she wanted to die , and she responded with a plea for her life . Witnesses later reported that Harris seemed disoriented -- possibly from the heavily bleeding wound to his nose . As Harris taunted Pasquale , Klebold noted Ireland trying to provide aid to Hall , who had suffered a wound to his knee . As Ireland tried to help Hall , his head rose above the table ; Klebold shot him a second time , hitting him twice in the head and once in the foot . Ireland was knocked unconscious , but survived . Klebold walked toward another set of tables , where he discovered 18 - year - old Isaiah Shoels , 16 - year - old Matthew Kechter and 16 - year - old Craig Scott ( the younger brother of Rachel Scott ) , hiding under one table . All three were popular athletes . Klebold tried to pull Shoels out from under the table . He called to Harris , referring to him by his online identity and shouting , `` REB ! There 's a nigger over here ! '' Harris left Pasquale and joined him . According to witnesses , Klebold and Harris taunted Shoels for a few seconds , making derogatory racial comments . Harris knelt down and shot Shoels once in the chest at close range , killing him instantly . Klebold also knelt down and opened fire , hitting and killing Kechter . Harris then yelled ; `` Who 's ready to die next ? '' . Meanwhile , Scott was uninjured ; he lay in the blood of his friends , feigning death . Harris turned and threw a CO bomb at the table where Hall , Steepleton , and Ireland were located . It landed on Steepleton 's thigh , and Hall quickly threw it away . Harris walked toward the bookcases between the west and center section of tables in the library . He jumped on one and shook it , then shot in an unknown direction within that general area . Klebold walked through the main area , past the first set of bookcases , the central desk area and a second set of bookcases into the east area . Harris walked from the bookcase he had shot from , past the central area to meet Klebold . The latter shot at a display case located next to the door , then turned and shot toward the closest table , hitting and injuring 17 - year - old Mark Kintgen in the head and shoulder . He then turned toward the table to his left and fired , injuring 18 - year - olds Lisa Kreutz and Valeen Schnurr with the same shotgun blast . Klebold then moved toward the same table and fired with the TEC - 9 , killing 18 - year - old Lauren Townsend . At this point , the seriously injured Valeen Schnurr began screaming , `` Oh my God , oh my God ! '' In response , Klebold asked Schnurr if she believed in the existence of God ; when Schnurr replied she did , Klebold simply asked `` Why ? '' before walking from the table . Harris approached another table where two girls were hiding . He bent down to look at them and dismissed them as `` pathetic '' . Harris then moved to another table where he fired twice , injuring 16 - year - olds Nicole Nowlen and John Tomlin . When Tomlin attempted to move away from the table , Klebold kicked him . Harris then taunted Tomlin 's attempt at escape before Klebold shot the youth repeatedly , killing him . Harris then walked back over to the other side of the table where Lauren Townsend lay dead . Behind the table , a 16 - year - old girl named Kelly Fleming had , like Bree Pasquale , sat next to the table rather than beneath it due to a lack of space . Harris shot Fleming with his shotgun , hitting her in the back and killing her instantly . He shot at the table behind Fleming , hitting Townsend and Kreutz again , and wounding 18 - year - old Jeanna Park . An autopsy later revealed that Townsend died from the earlier gunshots inflicted by Klebold . The shooters moved to the center of the library , where they continued to reload their weapons at a table there . Harris noticed a student hiding nearby and asked him to identify himself . It was John Savage , an acquaintance of Klebold 's , who had come to the library to study for a history test . Savage said his name , believing they were targeting only jocks ( which he himself was not ) , in an attempt to save his life ; he then asked Klebold what they were doing , to which he answered , `` Oh , just killing people . '' Savage asked if they were going to kill him . Possibly because of a fire alarm , Klebold said , `` What ? '' Savage asked again whether they were going to kill him . Klebold hesitated , then told him to leave . Savage fled immediately , and escaped through the library 's main entrance . After Savage had left , Harris turned and fired his carbine at the table directly north of where they had been , grazing the ear of 15 - year - old Daniel Mauser . When Mauser fought back , shoving a chair at Harris , Harris fired again and hit Mauser in the face at close range , killing him . Both shooters moved south and fired randomly under another table , critically injuring two 17 - year - olds , Jennifer Doyle and Austin Eubanks , and fatally wounding 17 - year - old Corey DePooter . DePooter , the last to die in the massacre , at 11 : 35 , was later credited with having kept his friends calm during the ordeal . There were no further injuries after 11 : 35 a.m. They had killed 10 people in the library and wounded 12 . Of the 56 library hostages , 34 remained unharmed . Investigators would later find that the shooters had enough ammunition to have killed them all . At this point , several witnesses later said they heard Harris and Klebold comment that they no longer found a thrill in shooting their victims . Klebold was quoted as saying , `` Maybe we should start knifing people , that might be more fun . '' ( Both youths were equipped with knives . ) They moved away from the table and went toward the library 's main counter . Harris threw a Molotov cocktail toward the southwestern end of the library , but it failed to explode . Harris went around the east side of the counter and Klebold joined him from the west ; they converged close to where Todd had moved after having been wounded . Harris and Klebold mocked Todd , who was wearing a white hat . When the shooters demanded to see his face , Todd partly lifted his hat so his face would remain obscured . When Klebold asked Todd to give him one reason why he should not kill him , Todd said : `` I do n't want trouble . '' Klebold said , `` You ( Todd ) used to call me a fag . Who 's a fag now ? ! '' The shooters continued to taunt Todd and debated killing him , but they eventually walked away . Harris 's nose was bleeding heavily , which may have caused him to decide to leave the library . Klebold turned and fired a single shot into an open library staff break room , hitting a small television . Before they left , Klebold slammed a chair down on top of the computer terminal and several books on the library counter , directly above the bureau where Patti Nielson had hidden . An FBI diagram of the library at Columbine High School , depicting the location of the fatalities The two walked out of the library at 11 : 36 a.m. , ending the hostage situation there . Cautiously , fearing the shooters ' return , 34 uninjured and 10 injured survivors began to evacuate the library through the north door , which led to the sidewalk adjacent to the west entrance . Kacey Ruegsegger was evacuated from the library by Craig Scott . Had she not been evacuated at this point , Ruegsegger would likely have bled to death from her injuries . Patrick Ireland , unconscious , and Lisa Kreutz , unable to move , remained in the building . Patti Nielson joined Brian Anderson and the three library staff in the exterior break room , into which Klebold had earlier fired shots . They locked themselves in and remained there until they were freed , at approximately 3 : 30 p.m. 12 : 08 p.m. : suicide of the perpetrators After leaving the library , Harris and Klebold entered the science area , where they threw a small fire bomb into an empty storage closet . It caused a fire , which was put out by a teacher hidden in an adjacent room . The duo proceeded toward the south hallway , where they shot into an empty science room . At approximately 11 : 44 a.m. , Harris and Klebold were captured on the school security cameras as they re-entered the cafeteria . The recording shows Harris kneeling on the landing and firing a single shot toward one of the propane bombs he and Klebold had earlier left in the cafeteria , in an unsuccessful attempt to detonate it . He took a sip from one of the drinks left behind as Klebold approached the propane bomb and examined it . Klebold lit a Molotov cocktail and threw it at the propane bomb . As the two left the cafeteria , the Molotov cocktail exploded , partially detonating one of the propane bombs at 11 : 46 a.m. Two minutes later , approximately one gallon of fuel ignited in the same vicinity , causing a fire that was extinguished by the fire sprinklers . After leaving the cafeteria , the duo returned to the main north and south hallways of the school , shooting aimlessly . Harris and Klebold walked through the south hallway into the main office before returning to the north hallway . On several occasions , the pair looked through the windows of classroom doors , making eye contact with students hidden inside , but neither Harris nor Klebold tried to enter any of the rooms . They even reloaded their firearms close by the room that Dave Sanders was in . After leaving the main office , Harris and Klebold walked toward a bathroom , where they taunted students hidden inside , making such comments as : `` We know you 're in there '' and `` Let 's kill anyone we find in here . '' Neither attempted to enter the bathroom . At 11 : 55 a.m. , the two returned to the cafeteria , where they briefly entered the school kitchen . They returned up the staircase and into the south hallway at 11 : 58 a.m. Suicide of perpetrators 35 . Eric Harris , age 18 . Committed suicide by a single shot to the mouth . 36 . Dylan Klebold , age 17 . Committed suicide by a single shot to the head . At 12 : 02 p.m. , Harris and Klebold reentered the library , which was empty of surviving students except for the unconscious Patrick Ireland and the injured Lisa Kreutz . Once inside , they shot through the west windows at police , who returned fire . No individual was injured in this exchange . At approximately 12 : 08 p.m. , 32 minutes after they left the library , Dylan and Eric died next to each other . Both had committed suicide : Harris by firing his shotgun through the roof of his mouth ; Klebold by shooting himself in the left temple with his TEC - 9 semi-automatic handgun . It is widely believed that Patti Nielson overheard Harris and Klebold suddenly shout `` One ! Two ! Three ! '' in unison , just before a loud boom , due to an article by The Rocky Mountain News . However , Patti Nielson has stated that she at no time has ever spoken with either of the writers of the article . Patrick Ireland had regained and lost consciousness several times after being shot by Klebold . He crawled to the library windows where , at 2 : 38 p.m. , he stretched out the window , intending to fall into the arms of two SWAT team members standing on the roof of an emergency vehicle , but instead falling directly onto the vehicle 's roof in a pool of blood . They were later criticized for allowing Ireland to drop more than seven feet to the ground while doing nothing to try to ensure he could be lowered to the ground safely or break his fall . Eighteen - year - old Lisa Kreutz , shot in the shoulder , arms , hand , and thigh , remained in the library . In a subsequent interview , she recalled hearing a comment such as , `` You in the library , '' around the time of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold 's suicides . Kreutz lay in the library , keeping track of time by the sound of the school 's bells until police arrived . She had tried to move but became light - headed . She was finally evacuated at 3 : 22 p.m. , along with Patti Nielson , Brian Anderson and the three library staff who had hidden in the break room . Crisis Ends By noon , SWAT teams were stationed outside the school , and ambulances started taking the wounded to local hospitals . Meanwhile , families of students and staff were asked to gather at nearby Leawood Elementary School to await information . A call for additional ammunition for police officers in case of a shootout came at 12 : 20 p.m. The killers had ceased shooting just minutes earlier . Authorities reported pipe bombs by 1 : 00 p.m. , and two SWAT teams entered the school at 1 : 09 p.m. , moving from classroom to classroom , discovering hidden students and faculty . All students , teachers , and school employees were taken away , questioned , and offered medical care in small holding areas before being bussed to meet with their family members at Leawood Elementary . By 3 : 00 p.m. , Dave Sanders had died of his injuries before SWAT officers could take him to get medical care . He was the only teacher to die in the shooting . Officials found the bodies in the library by 3 : 30 p.m. By 4 : 00 p.m. , the sheriff made an initial estimate of 25 dead students and teachers . The estimate was ten over the true count , but close to the total count of wounded students . He said that police officers were searching the bodies of Harris and Klebold . At 4 : 30 p.m. the school was declared safe . At 5 : 30 p.m. , additional officers were called in , as more explosives were found in the parking lot and on the roof . By 6 : 15 p.m. , officials had found a bomb in Klebold 's car in the parking lot . The sheriff decided to mark the entire school as a crime scene ; thirteen of the dead , including the shooters , were still inside the school at the time . At 10 : 40 p.m. , a member of the bomb squad , who was attempting to dispose of an un-detonated pipe bomb , accidentally lit a striking match attached to the bomb by brushing it against the wall of the ordnance disposal trailer . The bomb detonated inside the trailer but no one was injured . The total count of deaths was 12 students and one teacher ; 20 students and one teacher were injured as a result of the shootings . Three more victims were injured indirectly as they tried to escape the school . Harris and Klebold are thought to have committed suicide about 49 minutes after they started the massacre . A total of 188 rounds of ammunition were fired by the perpetrators during the massacre ( 67 by Klebold and 121 by Harris ) . Additionally , law enforcement officers fired a total of 141 rounds during exchanges of gunfire with the shooters . Immediate Aftermath On April 21 , bomb squads combed the high school . At 10 : 00 a.m. , the bomb squad declared the building safe for officials to enter . By 11 : 30 a.m. , a spokesman of the sheriff declared the investigation underway . Thirteen of the bodies were still inside the high school as investigators photographed the building . At 2 : 30 p.m. , a press conference was held by Jefferson County District Attorney David Thomas and Sheriff John Stone , at which they said that they suspected others had helped plan the shooting . Formal identification of the dead had not yet taken place , but families of the children thought to have been killed had been notified . Throughout the late afternoon and early evening , the bodies were gradually removed from the school and taken to the Jefferson County Coroner 's Office to be identified and autopsied . By 5 : 00 p.m. , the names of many of the dead were known . An official statement was released , saying there were 15 confirmed deaths and 27 injuries related to the massacre . On April 30 , high - ranking officials of Jefferson County and the Jefferson County Sheriff 's Office met to decide if they should reveal that Michael Guerra , a Sheriff 's Office detective , had drafted an affidavit for a search warrant of Harris 's residence more than a year before the shootings , based on his previous investigation of Harris 's website and activities . They decided not to disclose this information at a press conference held on April 30 , nor did they mention it in any other way . Over the next two years , Guerra 's original draft and investigative file documents were lost . Their loss was termed `` troubling '' by a grand jury convened after the file 's existence was reported in April 2001 . In the months following the shooting , considerable media attention focused upon Cassie Bernall , who had been killed by Harris in the library and who Harris was reported to have asked , `` Do you believe in God ? '' immediately prior to her murder . Bernall was reported to have responded `` Yes '' to this question before her murder . Emily Wyant , the closest living witness to Bernall 's death , denied that Bernall and Harris had such an exchange . Survivor Valeen Schnurr claims that she was the one questioned as to her belief in God by Harris . Joshua Lapp thought Bernall had been queried about her belief , but was unable to correctly point out where Bernall was located , and was closer to Schnurr during the shootings . Another witness , Craig Scott , whose sister Rachel Scott was also portrayed as a Christian martyr , claimed that the discussion was with Bernall . When asked to indicate where the conversation had been coming from , he pointed to where Schnurr was shot . Nevertheless , Bernall and Rachel Scott came to be regarded as Christian martyrs by Evangelical Christians . Rationale In the aftermath , speculation occurred about the killers ' motivation and whether the murders could have been prevented . Unlike many previous school shootings , both shooters committed suicide , which made the massacre particularly difficult to assess . In their investigation into how Harris and Klebold had acquired their firearms , police learned they had acquired one through a friend , Mark Manes . He and Philip Duran , who had introduced the duo to him , were eventually prosecuted for their roles in supplying guns to Harris and Klebold . Each was charged with supplying a handgun to a minor and possession of a sawed - off shotgun . Manes and Duran were sentenced to a total of six years and four - and - a-half years in prison , respectively . Bullying The link between bullying and school violence has attracted increasing attention since the 1999 attack at Columbine High School . Both of the shooters were classified as gifted children who had allegedly been victims of bullying for four years . According to Brooks Brown , Klebold and Harris were the most ostracized students in the entire school , and even many of those close to them regarded the two as `` the losers of the losers '' . Klebold is known to have remarked to his father of his hatred of the jock culture at Columbine , adding that Harris in particular had been victimized by this social group . In this remark , Klebold had stated , `` They sure give Eric hell . '' On another occasion just weeks before the massacre , both Harris and Klebold had been confronted by a group of youths at the school -- all members of the football team -- who had sprayed them with ketchup and mustard while referring to the pair as `` faggots '' and `` queers '' . A year after the massacre , an analysis by officials at the U.S. Secret Service of 37 premeditated school shootings found that bullying , which some of the shooters described `` in terms that approached torment '' , played the major role in more than two - thirds of the attacks . A similar theory was expounded by Brooks Brown in his book on the massacre ; he noted that teachers commonly looked the other way when confronted with bullying , and that whenever Klebold and Harris were the recipients of such incidents from the jocks at Columbine , they would make statements such as : `` Do n't worry , man . It happens all the time ! '' if anyone expressed shock or surprise . Early stories following the shootings charged that school administrators and teachers at Columbine had long condoned a climate of bullying by the so - called jocks or athletes , allowing an atmosphere of intimidation and resentment to fester . Critics said this could have contributed to triggering the perpetrators ' extreme violence . Reportedly , homophobic remarks were directed at Klebold and Harris . One author has strongly disputed the theory of `` revenge for bullying '' as a motivation for the actions of Harris and Klebold . David Cullen , author of the 2009 book Columbine , while acknowledging the pervasiveness of bullying in high schools including Columbine , has claimed that the two were not victims of bullying . Cullen said that Harris was more often the perpetrator than victim of bullying . Psychopathy and depression In July 1999 , the FBI convened a major summit on school shooters in Leesburg , Virginia . Attending were psychologists , psychiatrists , and representatives from recent school shootings , including a large Columbine contingent . Attorney General Janet Reno attended . The FBI eventually published a major report on school shooters , though it did not pinpoint the causes of any individual case . On the fifth anniversary of Columbine , the FBI 's lead Columbine investigator and several psychiatrists published their conclusions in a news article . These conclusions stated Harris was a clinical psychopath , whereas Klebold was depressive . Harris had been the mastermind , having a messianic - level superiority complex , and had hoped to demonstrate his superiority to the world , whereas Klebold , having repeatedly documented his desires to commit suicide in his diaries -- particularly due to his lack of success with women -- had primarily participated in the massacre as a means to simply end his life . Dr. Dwayne Fuselier , the supervisor in charge of the Columbine investigation , would later remark : `` I believe Eric went to the school to kill and did n't care if he died , while Dylan wanted to die and did n't care if others died as well . '' Klebold 's final remark in the videotape he and Harris made shortly before their attack upon Columbine High School is a resigned statement made as he glances away from the camera : `` Just know I 'm going to a better place . I did n't like life too much . '' The attack was the culmination of more than a year of planning , firearms acquisition , and bomb building . Harris 's journals , in particular , show methodical preparation over a long period of time , including several experimental bomb detonations . By comparison , the journals Klebold populated initially contained few references to violence ( although from January 1999 onward references to violence would become more frequent ) . By far the most prevalent theme in Klebold 's journals is his private despair at his lack of success with women , which he refers to as an `` infinite sadness '' . For prior behavioral issues , Harris had been prescribed the SSRI antidepressant Fluvoxamine ; toxicology reports confirmed that Harris had Fluvoxamine in his bloodstream at the time of the shootings . Klebold had no medications in his system . Video games Main article : Video game controversies Both Harris and Klebold were fans of video games such as Doom , Wolfenstein 3D , and Duke Nukem . Harris often created levels for Doom that were widely distributed ; these can still be found on the Internet as the Harris levels . Rumors that the layout of these levels resembled that of Columbine High School circulated , but appear to be untrue . Harris spent a great deal of time creating another large mod , named Tier , calling it his `` life 's work . '' The mod was uploaded to the Columbine school computer and to AOL shortly before the attack , but appears to have been lost . One researcher argued that it is almost certain the Tier mod included a mock - up of Columbine High School . Parents of some of the victims filed several unsuccessful lawsuits against video game manufacturers . Harris and Klebold were fans of the movie Natural Born Killers , and used the film 's acronym , NBK , as a code in their home videos and journals . See also : List of alleged Natural Born Killers copycat crimes § Columbine High School massacre Other factors explored Social climate During and after the initial investigations , social cliques within high schools were widely discussed . One perception formed was that both Klebold and Harris had been isolated from their classmates , prompting feelings of helplessness , insecurity , and depression , as well as a strong need for attention . This concept has been questioned , as both Harris and Klebold had a close circle of friends and a wider informal social group . Goth subculture In the weeks following the Columbine shootings , media reports about Harris and Klebold portrayed them as part of a gothic cult . An increased suspicion of goth subculture subsequently manifested . Harris and Klebold had initially been thought to be members of `` The Trenchcoat Mafia ; '' an informal club within Columbine High School . Later , such characterizations were considered incorrect . Music Blame for the shootings was directed on a number of metal or ' dark music ' bands such as KMFDM and Rammstein . The majority of that blame was directed at Marilyn Manson and his eponymous band . After being linked by news outlets and pundits with sensationalist headlines such as `` Killers Worshipped Rock Freak Manson '' and `` Devil - Worshipping Maniac Told Kids To Kill '' , many came to believe that Manson 's music and imagery were , indeed , Harris and Klebold 's sole motivation , despite later reports that the two were not fans . In the immediate aftermath , the band canceled the remaining North American dates of their Rock Is Dead Tour out of respect for the victims , while steadfastly maintaining that music , movies , books or video games were not to blame . Manson stated : `` The ( news ) media has unfairly scapegoated the music industry and so - called Goth kids and has speculated , with no basis in truth , that artists like myself are in some way to blame . This tragedy was a product of ignorance , hatred and an access to guns . I hope the ( news ) media 's irresponsible finger - pointing does n't create more discrimination against kids who look different . '' On May 1 , 1999 , Manson expanded his rebuttal to the accusations leveled at him and his band in his Rolling Stone magazine op - ed piece , `` Columbine : Whose Fault Is It ? '' He castigated the ensuing hysteria and moral panic and criticized the news media for their irresponsible coverage ; he chastised America 's habit of hanging blame on scapegoats to escape responsibility . Columbine and America 's fixation on a culture of guns , blame , and `` celebrity by death '' was further explored in the group 's 2000 album Holy Wood . In 2002 , Manson appeared in Michael Moore 's documentary , Bowling for Columbine ; his appearance was filmed during the band 's first show in Denver since the shooting . When Moore asked Manson what he would have said to the students at Columbine , he replied , `` I would n't say a single word to them . I would listen to what they have to say and that 's what no one did . '' Sascha Konietzko of KMFDM said their music denounced `` war , oppression , fascism and violence against others . '' Harris and Klebold as modern revolutionaries Nick Turse ascribed a revolutionary motive to the actions of Harris and Klebold . He wrote , `` Who would not concede that terrorizing the American machine , at the very site where it exerts its most powerful influence , is a truly revolutionary task ? To be inarticulate about your goals , even to not understand them , does not negate their existence . Approve or disapprove of their methods , vilify them as miscreants , but do n't dare disregard these modern radicals as anything less than the latest incarnation of disaffected insurgents waging the ongoing American revolution . '' Historian David Farber of Temple University wrote that Turse 's assertion `` only makes sense in an academic culture in which transgression is by definition political and in which any rage against society can be considered radical . '' Impact on school policies Secret Service Report on school shootings A United States Secret Service study concluded that schools were placing false hope in physical security , when they should be paying more attention to the pre-attack behaviors of students . Zero - tolerance policies and metal detectors `` are unlikely to be helpful , '' the Secret Service researchers found . The researchers focused on questions concerning the reliance on SWAT teams when most attacks are over before police arrive , profiling of students who show warning signs in the absence of a definitive profile , expulsion of students for minor infractions when expulsion is the spark that push some to return to school with a gun , buying software not based on school shooting studies to evaluate threats although killers rarely make direct threats , and reliance on metal detectors and police officers in schools when the shooters often make no effort to conceal their weapons . In May 2002 , the Secret Service published a report that examined 37 U.S. school shootings . They had the following findings : Incidents of targeted violence at school were rarely sudden , impulsive acts . Prior to most incidents , other people knew about the attacker 's idea and / or plan to attack . Most attackers did not threaten their targets directly prior to advancing the attack . There is no accurate or useful profile of students who engaged in targeted school violence . Most attackers engaged in some behavior prior to the incident that caused others concern or indicated a need for help . Most attackers had difficulty coping with significant losses or personal failures . Moreover , many had considered or attempted suicide . Many attackers felt bullied , persecuted , or injured by others prior to the attack . Most attackers had access to and had used weapons prior to the attack . In many cases , other students were involved in some capacity . Despite prompt law enforcement responses , most shooting incidents were stopped by means other than law enforcement intervention . School security Following the Columbine shooting , schools across the United States instituted new security measures such as see - through backpacks , metal detectors , school uniforms , and security guards . Some schools implemented school door numbering to improve public safety response . Several schools throughout the country resorted to requiring students to wear computer - generated IDs . At the same time , police departments reassessed their tactics and now train for Columbine - like situations after criticism over the slow response and progress of the SWAT teams during the shooting . Anti-bullying policies In response to expressed concerns over the causes of the Columbine High School massacre and other school shootings , some schools have renewed existing anti-bullying policies , in addition to adopting a zero tolerance approach to possession of weapons and threatening behavior by students . Despite the Columbine incident , several social science experts feel the zero tolerance approach adopted in schools has been implemented too harshly , with unintended consequences creating other problems . Long - term results Police tactics One significant change to police tactics following Columbine is the introduction of the Immediate Action Rapid Deployment tactic , used in situations with an active shooter . Police followed the traditional tactic at Columbine : surround the building , set up a perimeter , contain the damage . That approach has been replaced by a tactic that takes into account the presence of an active shooter whose interest is to kill , not to take hostages . This tactic calls for a four - person team to advance into the site of any ongoing shooting , optimally a diamond - shaped wedge , but even with just a single officer if more are not available . Police officers using this tactic are trained to move toward the sound of gunfire and neutralize the shooter as quickly as possible . Their goal is to stop the shooter at all costs ; they are to walk past wounded victims , as the aim is to prevent the shooter from killing or wounding more . David Cullen , author of Columbine , has stated : `` The active protocol has proved successful at numerous shootings during the past decade . At Virginia Tech alone , it probably saved dozens of lives . '' Gun control The HOPE Columbine Memorial Library that replaced the library where most of the massacre took place The shooting resulted in calls for more gun control measures . In 2000 federal and state legislation was introduced that would require safety locks on firearms as well as ban the importation of high - capacity ammunition magazines . Though laws were passed that made it a crime to buy guns for criminals and minors , there was considerable controversy over legislation pertaining to background checks at gun shows . There was concern in the gun lobby over restrictions on Second Amendment rights in the US . In 2001 , K - Mart , which had sold ammunition to the shooters , announced it would no longer sell handgun ammunition . This action was encouraged by the award - winning 2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine , written and directed by Michael Moore . Memorials In 2000 , youth advocate Melissa Helmbrecht organized a remembrance event in Denver featuring two surviving students , called the `` Day of Hope . '' A permanent memorial `` to honor and remember the victims of the April 20 , 1999 shootings at Columbine High School '' was dedicated on September 21 , 2007 , in Clement Park , a meadow adjacent to the school where impromptu memorials were held in the days following the shooting . The memorial fund raised $1.5 million in donations over eight years of planning . The Columbine memorial Becoming part of the vernacular Since the shooting , `` Columbine '' or `` the Columbine incident '' has become a euphemism for a school shooting . Charles Andrew Williams , the Santana High School shooter , reportedly told his friends that he was going to `` pull a Columbine , '' though none of them took him seriously . Many foiled school shooting plots mentioned Columbine and the desire to `` outdo Harris and Klebold . '' Convicted students Brian Draper and Torey Adamcik of Pocatello High School in Idaho , who murdered their classmate Cassie Jo Stoddart , mentioned Harris and Klebold in their homemade videos , and were reportedly planning a `` Columbine - like '' shooting . In a self - made video recording posted by Seung - Hui Cho to the news media immediately prior to his committing the Virginia Tech shootings , Cho referred the Columbine massacre in an apparent reference to his motivation for his own acts . In the recording , he also referred to Harris and Klebold as being `` martyrs . '' Fandom Since the advent of online social media , a fandom for shooters Harris and Klebold has had a documented presence on social media sites , especially Tumblr . The fans call themselves `` Columbiners . '' The group gained widespread media attention in February 2015 after three of its members conspired to commit a mass shooting at a Halifax mall on Valentine 's Day . An article published in 2015 in the Journal of Transformative Works , a scholarly journal which focuses on the sociology of fandoms , noted that Columbiners were not fundamentally functionally different from more mainstream fandoms . Columbiners create fan art and fan fiction , as well as having a scholarly interest in the shooting . Influence on subsequent school shootings The Columbine shootings influenced subsequent school shootings . In 2009 sociologist Ralph Larkin of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at City University of New York wrote that Harris and Klebold established a script for subsequent school shootings . Larkin examined the twelve major school shootings in the U.S. in the eight years after Columbine and found that in eight of those `` the shooters made explicit reference to Harris and Klebold . '' Larkin concluded : Harris and Klebold committed their rampage shooting as an overtly political act in the name of oppressed students victimized by their peers . Numerous post-Columbine rampage shooters referred directly to Columbine as their inspiration ; others attempted to supersede the Columbine shootings in body count ... The Columbine shootings redefined such acts not merely as revenge but as a means of protest of bullying , intimidation , social isolation , and public rituals of humiliation . In 2012 sociologist Nathalie E. Paton of the National Center for Scientific Research in Paris analyzed the online videos created by post-Columbine school shooting perpetrators . A recurring set of motifs was found , including self - portraits with firearms in which the perpetrator points his gun `` at the camera , then at his own temple , and then spreads his arms wide with a gun in each hand ; the closeup '' and `` the wave goodbye at the end , '' as well as explicit statements of admiration and identification with previous perpetrators . Paton said the videos serve the perpetrators by distinguishing themselves from their classmates and associating themselves with the previous perpetrators . A 2014 investigation by ABC News identified `` at least 17 attacks and another 36 alleged plots or serious threats against schools since the assault on Columbine High School that can be tied to the 1999 massacre . '' Ties identified by ABC News included online research by the perpetrators into the Columbine shooting , clipping news coverage and images of Columbine , explicit statements of admiration of Harris and Klebold , such as writings in journals and on social media , in video posts , and in police interviews , timing planned to an anniversary of Columbine , plans to exceed the Columbine victim counts , and other ties . A 2015 investigation by CNN identified `` more than 40 people ... charged with Columbine - style plots . '' According to psychiatrist E. Fuller Torrey of the Treatment Advocacy Center , a legacy of the Columbine shootings is its `` allure to disaffected youth . '' In 2015 journalist Malcolm Gladwell writing in The New Yorker magazine proposed a threshold model of school shootings in which Harris and Klebold were the triggering actors in `` a slow - motion , ever - evolving riot , in which each new participant 's action makes sense in reaction to and in combination with those who came before . '' Lawsuits against state agencies and families of perpetrators After the massacre , many survivors and relatives of deceased victims filed lawsuits . Under Colorado state law at the time , the maximum a family could receive in a lawsuit against a government agency was $600,000 . Most cases against the Jefferson County police department and school district were dismissed by the federal court on the grounds of government immunity . However , the case against the sheriff 's office regarding the death of teacher Dave Sanders was not dismissed due to the police preventing paramedics from going to his aid for hours after they knew Harris and Klebold were dead . The case was settled out of court in August 2002 for $1,500,000 . In April 2001 , the families of more than 30 victims received a $2,538,000 settlement in their case against the families of Eric Harris , Dylan Klebold , Mark Manes , and Phillip Duran . Under the terms of the settlement , the Harrises and the Klebolds contributed $1,568,000 through their homeowners ' policies , with another $32,000 set aside for future claims ; the Manes contributed $720,000 , with another $80,000 set aside for future claims ; and the Durans contributed $250,000 , with an additional $50,000 available for future claims . The family of Isaiah Shoels , the only African - American victim , rejected this settlement , but in June 2003 were ordered by a judge to accept a $366,000 settlement in their $250 - million lawsuit against the shooters ' families . In August 2003 , the families of victims Daniel Rohrbough , Kelly Fleming , Matt Kechter , Lauren Townsend , and Kyle Velasquez received undisclosed settlements in a wrongful death suit against the Harrises and Klebolds .

Interactive Entertainment Director ( s ) Mike de Plater Producer ( s ) Michael Aigner Programmer ( s ) Matthew Rice Artist ( s ) Phillip Straub Writer ( s ) Tony Elias Composer ( s ) Garry Schyman Nathan Grigg Engine Firebird Platform ( s ) Microsoft Windows PlayStation 4 Xbox One Release October 10 , 2017 Genre ( s ) Action role - playing Mode ( s ) Single - player , multiplayer Middle - earth : Shadow of War is an action role - playing video game developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment . It is the sequel to 2014 's Middle - earth : Shadow of Mordor , and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows , PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One on October 10 , 2017 . Shadow of War continues the previous game 's narrative , which is based on J.R.R. Tolkien 's legendarium and set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings . Like its predecessor , the game also takes heavy inspiration from director Peter Jackson 's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings film adaptations . The player continues the story of the ranger Talion and the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor , who shares Talion 's body , as they forge a new Ring of Power to amass an army to fight against Sauron . The game builds upon the `` Nemesis System '' introduced in Shadow of Mordor , allowing Talion to gain followers from several races of Middle - earth , including Uruks and Ologs , and plan out complex strategies using these to complete missions . Shadow of War had a generally positive reaction from critics , albeit more mixed than its predecessor ; praise was aimed towards the gameplay and an improved nemesis system , although story elements and changes made to established characters received some negative reactions , as well as the inclusion of microtransactions and loot boxes . A free - to - play companion game for iOS and Android devices was also released . In July 2018 , Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment removed all microtransactions from the console / PC versions of Shadow of War . Contents 1 Gameplay 1.1 Mobile versions 2 Plot 2.1 Blade of Galadriel 2.2 Desolation of Mordor 3 Development 3.1 Death of Michael Forgey 4 Release 5 Reception 5.1 Critical response 5.2 Accolades 6 References 7 External links Gameplay ( edit ) See also : Middle - earth : Shadow of Mordor § Gameplay Middle - earth : Shadow of War is an action role - playing game set in an open world environment and played from a third - person perspective , following from its predecessor . The player controls the game 's protagonist Talion , who has several natural athletic and combat abilities as a ranger of Gondor , but also has unique abilities provided by the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor , with whom he shares his body . The player uses their combined abilities to complete various missions , typically aimed to disrupt the armies of Sauron . The game includes main quests that drive the game 's narrative , and numerous optional quests that can help the player boost Talion 's abilities and Followers via the game 's `` Nemesis System '' . In contrast to the previous game , which was more of a hack and slash , the game has an action role - playing approach , creating a more personalized experience for each player . It also features a dynamic weather system as well as day - night cycle which affects the gameplay and enemy behavior . The Nemesis System expands upon its introduction in Shadow of Mordor to apply to a larger part of the world , including other characters called Followers that have behavior guided by how the player - character has interacted with them . The player is able to transfer their top Nemesis and their most loyal follower from Shadow of Mordor into Shadow of War . It also includes a garrison from which the player can access their Followers that has either been obtained from multiplayer , relocated with a reassignment order or through opening ' War chests ' prior to the game 's July update , it also contains loot boxes that players have already obtained , players ' unused loot boxes that have been obtained prior to the removal of the market still remains . The Garrison also contains training orders that are purchaseable with Mirian , it 's in - game currency . `` Spoils of War '' and `` XP '' boosts are still available and can be activated but not obtainable as of the July 17th patch , although , players ' boosts prior to the update are still available . The game 's multiplayer features a `` Social Conquest mode '' , in which players are able to invade other players ' fortresses and attempt to conquer them . This mode has two settings : friendly and ranked . Friendly allows the player to invade someone 's fortress , without the risk of losing your army . Ranked , on the other hand , allows the player to invade , but with a risk of losing some of their Orc Followers permanently . Mobile versions ( edit ) The mobile companion versions of Shadow of War are played as a real - time strategy role - playing game from a top - down perspective , where players can recruit characters from not only the console / PC versions of the game itself , but also characters from its 2014 predecessor Shadow of Mordor and even The Lord of the Rings film trilogy to fight Sauron 's forces in small - scale , action - packed battles . Like the console / PC versions of the game , players can make use of the Nemesis system to gain extra advantages in battle , as well as make optional in - game purchases . Plot ( edit ) Shadow of War continues the narrative from Shadow of Mordor , following Talion who is still infused with the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor . Talion and Celebrimbor travel to Mt . Doom , where they forge a new Ring of Power free of Sauron 's corruption . However , once the Ring is complete , Celebrimbor is abducted and held hostage by Shelob , who asks Talion to hand over the Ring in exchange for Celebrimbor . Talion reluctantly agrees and gives the Ring to Shelob , who claims they have a common enemy in Sauron . She uses the Ring to see into the future and directs Talion to the last Gondorian stronghold in Mordor , Minas Ithil , which is under siege by Sauron 's forces due to the city 's possession of a valuable Palantir . The Palantir would allow whoever possesses it to see anything they wish , making it a valuable tool for Celebrimbor and a dangerous weapon for Sauron . Talion travels to Minas Ithil and quickly comes to odds with Celebrimbor . Talion wants to help his fellow Gondorians , while Celebrimbor believes the city is already lost and the retrieval of the Palantir must take priority . Talion reasons that protecting Minas Ithil will also protect the Palantir and he meets up with the city 's defenders : General Castamir , his daughter Idril , and his lieutenant Baranor . Together , they sabotage Orcish efforts to break into the city until Castamir betrays them , allowing the Orcs to breach the gates and handing over the Palantir to the Witch King of Angmar in return for sparing Idril . Castamir is killed by the Witch King and Talion is barely able to escape thanks to the help of Eltariel , an Elven assassin working on Galadriel 's behalf . The Witch King seizes Minas Ithil , renaming it Minas Morgul . With the Palantir , Sauron realizes that Shelob is holding Celebrimbor 's Ring and sends the Nazgûl to attack her . Talion is able to save Shelob , who returns the Ring to him and tells him that the fate of Middle - earth is in his hands . With the Ring back in his possession , Talion begins to use its power to dominate Orcs and build his army . During this time , he assists Idril and Baranor in rescuing Gondorian survivors , helps Carnan defeat the Balrog Tar Goroth and the necromancer Zog , is betrayed by one of his followers , and hunts the Nazgûl alongside Eltariel . Eventually , Talion builds up enough strength to assault Sauron 's fortress directly . During the battle , Talion faces Isildur , now corrupted into a Nazgûl . Talion manages to defeat Isildur , but upon seeing his memories of how he was corrupted by the One Ring , decides to destroy Isildur and release his spirit rather than dominate him . Celebrimbor remarks angrily that Isildur would have been a valuable asset to their cause , leading Talion to realize that Celebrimbor wishes to replace Sauron by dominating him rather than destroying him . Talion refuses to follow Celebrimbor 's orders any more , causing the wraith to abandon him and possess Eltariel instead . Without Celebrimbor or the ring , Talion begins to die , but is visited by Shelob in a vision . Shelob informs him that if Talion had gone on to fight Sauron , they would have succeeded and Celebrimbor would have enslaved Sauron and marched on the rest of Middle - earth . She implores Talion to continue to fight to contain the darkness within Mordor . Deciding to put his fate in his own hands , Talion picks up the Ring of Power Isildur was wearing to preserve his own life . He then uses the power of Isildur 's Ring to assault and seize Minas Morgul , defeating the Witch King in the process . Talion then takes possession of the Palantir and observes Celebrimbor and Eltariel making their assault on Sauron . The two manage to gain the upper hand and Celebrimbor attempts to dominate Sauron , only for Sauron to cut off two of Eltariel 's fingers , one of which is adorned with the Ring of Power , and merge himself with Celebrimbor . As a result , Sauron and Celebrimbor remain trapped in Sauron 's tower in the form of a flaming eye as their spirits continue to battle for dominance . Talion decides to use Minas Morgul as a fortress to keep Sauron 's forces contained in Mordor . Decades later , Talion succumbs to the corruption of Isildur 's Ring , and joins Sauron 's forces as a Nazgûl , where he goes with the others to hunt Frodo and the One Ring . However , with the destruction of Sauron and the One Ring , Talion dies with the rest of the Nazgûl and his spirit is freed . He is last seen in the afterlife discarding his weapons and armor as he walks off into the west . Blade of Galadriel ( edit ) Following the final battle between Celebrimbor and Sauron , Eltariel recovers Celebrimbor 's Ring , and receives orders from Galadriel to continue hunting the remaining Nazgûl , including Talion . Eltariel reluctantly confronts Talion , who manages to convince her that by working together , they can keep Sauron 's influence contained within Mordor . However , he informs her that a new warchief is leading a massive army and has attacked many of his fortresses . Talion tasks Eltariel with defending one of his remaining forts while he goes to defend another fort in Seregost . Eltarial manages to recruit several new tribes of orcs to fight for her and she successfully defends her fort from enemy attack , though Seregost falls . A pair of rogue Nazgûl arrive , revealing they are the ones leading the new orc army as they plan to take advantage of Sauron and the Witch - King 's weakness to take over Middle - earth . After rendering Seregost uninhabitable with poison gas , Eltariel and Talion pursue the Nazgûl twins to their stronghold , where Eltariel is able to defeat both of them . Despite their defeat , Talion begins to succumb to the temptation of Isildur 's Ring , forcing Eltariel to battle him . Though Eltariel is victorious , Talion tells her that he will inevitably be resurrected by Sauron . Afterwards , Eltariel continues to battle the forces of Mordor until she witnesses the destruction of the One Ring . Upon seeing Celebrimbor 's spirit freed from Sauron , Eltariel decides to go track him down . Desolation of Mordor ( edit ) After the fall of Minas Ithil , Baranor journeys through Mordor seeking to hire mercenaries to help him seize the fortress of Shindram . On the way , he is attacked by wyrms and rescued by the dwarf Torvin , who helps develop gadgets for Baranor such as a grappling hook and parachute . Baranor continues to the Vanishing Sons mercenary camp , where he discovers they are led by his older brother Jagai , who now goes by the name of Serka . Serka reluctantly agrees to help Baranor take Shindram in return for all of the loot stored inside . However , another mercenary , Zhoja , betrays Serka and hands him over to the orcs . Baranor rescues Serka , who reasserts control over the Vanishing Sons and executes Zhoja . After repelling an orc attack , Baranor and Serka lead their army and seize Shindram . However , rather than hold the fortress , they leave a trap for the orcs sent to retake it . Baranor and Serka then leave to seize more fortresses , deciding that Gorgoroth will be their next target . Development ( edit ) Creative Director Michael de Plater said that the development of Shadow of Mordor was a learning study for Monolith in how to make open world games , and the development team limited themselves in the scope of what they could deliver for that game . With those lessons learned , de Plater said that Monolith was able to take a bolder step forward for Shadow of War , saying `` ( t ) his was our ambition to do the big , blockbuster version of the ideas we 'd begun to explore in the first game . It 's kind of our Terminator 2 to Terminator . '' Monolith wanted to move the game from the more solitary player experience to one that captured the epic battles shown in The Lord of the Rings films . They created battle systems that enable large - scale battles where parts of the battle would be managed by the various Followers that the player has recruited , thus allowing the player to still focus on the violence and brutality of close - quarter combat . Recognizing the violence inherent with the Middle - earth setting , Monolith aimed to include light humorous elements that play off the thirst for violence that the orcs have , so that the game would not `` wallow in it , or feel sadistic '' . The console / PC versions were later confirmed to be rated Mature by the ESRB , like their predecessor , although the mobile versions are less violent and were given the milder Teen rating . Death of Michael Forgey ( edit ) On March 3 , 2016 , Monolith 's Executive Producer , Michael David Forgey , died of cancer . To commemorate the loss of Shadow of War 's Executive Producer , Monolith and Warner Bros announced a DLC named `` Forthog Orc - Slayer '' . Originally selling for $5 , Warner Brothers promised to donate $3.50 of the proceeds from each sale of the DLC made from any of the majority of the U.S. states to the Forgey family through December 31 , 2019 . Warner Brothers was criticized for attempting to cash in on Michael Forgey 's death . Following public backlash , on September 27 , 2017 , the DLC was made free to all who purchased the game and all proceeds were refunded to those who purchased it beforehand , in favor of Warner Bros making a lump sum donation to the Forgey family . Release ( edit ) Shadow of War was released for Microsoft Windows , PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One . The Play Anywhere feature extends to Microsoft 's premium console , the Xbox One X . The title was originally scheduled to be released in August 2017 , but in June of that year , Warner Bros. Interactive announced that the release would be put off for two months , until October 10 , 2017 , to make sure the game meets `` the highest quality experience '' for players . Despite this delay , the mobile companion versions of Shadow of War were released on September 28 , 2017 , ahead of the console / PC versions .

You can help by adding to it . ( October 2017 ) Middle - earth : Shadow of War received `` generally favorable '' reviews from critics , according to review aggregator Metacritic . IGN gave a positive review stating that the game was `` bigger and more ambitious in scope than Shadow of Mordor , with great results '' especially praising the nemesis system , the battles and the multiplayer . However , GameSpot gave a more critical review , `` It tries to be larger than its predecessor , there are more abilities , more weapons , more Orcs , yet it leaves you wanting less . '' It specifically criticized `` the storefront and the menus and loot system '' but summed up `` at its core , it 's a fun experience with brilliant moments '' . Another unfavorable review came from The Independent , publishing a review titled `` A Disappointing Sequel '' . Critic Jack Shepherd criticized the uninvolving story , stating that `` by the end , you only care about rival Orcs and not the story . A shame considering the Lord of the Rings has , and remains , one of the greatest tales ever told .

"Shadow of War continues the previous game's narrative, which is based on J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium and set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Like its predecessor, the game also takes heavy inspiration from director Peter Jackson's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings film adaptations. The player continues the story of the ranger Talion and the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor, who shares Talion's body, as they forge a new Ring of Power to amass an army to fight against Sauron. The game builds upon the \"Nemesis System\" introduced in Shadow of Mordor, allowing Talion to gain followers from several races of Middle-earth, including Uruks and Ologs, and plan out complex strategies using these to complete missions.\n"

Randyll , renowned as one of Westeros ' finest military commanders , tried to groom Sam as a worthy heir when he was young , but Sam 's complete lack of martial abilities and his interest in scholarly pursuits ultimately forced Randyll to raise Sam 's younger brother Dickon to take Sam 's place instead . Randyll refused to let Sam join the Citadel to become a maester , but instead forced him to join the Night 's Watch , implying that he would have Sam killed and his death staged as a hunting accident if he refused . Sam agreed to join the Night 's Watch . Creation and overview ( edit ) Samwell Tarly is a background character in the first two novels of the series , and his actions and thoughts are interpreted by others point of view characters , like Jon Snow . He then becomes a point of view character in the novels , as of third novel , A Storm of Swords . George R.R. Martin has said that the character Samwell Tarly is the closest to himself of all the characters he has written . Asked why , Martin said in a 2014 interview because he 's `` the fat kid who likes to read books and does n't like to go up a lot of stairs . '' Storylines ( edit ) Coat of arms of the Night 's Watch In the books ( edit ) A Game of Thrones ( edit ) Upon arriving at the Wall , Sam is soon bullied by Ser Alliser Thorne and the fellow recruits for his weight , shyness and clumsiness in training . Jon Snow takes pity on Sam and defends him in arms training . Later on , Sam confesses his life story to Jon , who sympathizes with Sam and secretly uses his influence among the recruits ( making violent threats when necessary ) to protect Sam from harm . When Sam fails to progress in fight training and is not deemed worthy to join the Night 's Watch , Jon persuades Maester Aemon take in Sam as a personal steward assigned to help Aemon in the rookery and library . Sam is the first person to notice something strange about the corpse of rangers Othor and Jafer Flowers ( who are actually wights sent to assassinate Lord Commander Jeor Mormont ) . When Jon tries to abandon the Night 's Watch to join Robb Stark 's army and avenge the death of his father Eddard Stark , Sam alerts their fellow recruits , who catch up to Jon and convince to not break his vows to the Night 's Watch . A Clash of Kings ( edit ) Sam takes part in the Great Ranging beyond the Wall , to take care of the ravens as Lord Commander Jeor Mormont 's aide . While stopping at Craster 's Keep , Sam befriends one of Craster 's daughter - wives , Gilly . Gilly is pregnant and fears that , if her child is a boy , Craster will sacrifice him to the Others . Sam is horrified , but unable to help . Later , at camp at the Fist of the First Men , Sam and Jon 's direwolf Ghost discover a cache of dragonglass daggers buried underground . A Storm of Swords ( edit ) The Night 's Watch 's camp at the Fist of the First Men comes under attack and is overwhelmed by an army of wights sent by the Others , with Sam one of the survivors who manage to break out . The survivors then flee to Craster 's Keep , but Sam and two other brothers , Small Paul and Grenn , become separated from the group . They are attacked by an Other that kills Paul before Sam stabs it with a dragonglass dagger in desperation , killing it instantly . Sam and Grenn then regroup with the other survivors at Craster 's Keep , where Gilly gives birth to a son . Soon after , a mutiny breaks out , and Mormont and Craster are among those killed in the fight . Sam flees with Gilly and her son , and are accosted by wights before being rescued by a mysterious man , Coldhands , who looks like a wight but is friendly and supposedly a fellow black brother . Coldhands takes them to the Nightfort and asks them to escort Bran Stark and his party through the Wall . Sam and Gilly then encounter a group of black brothers led by Denys Mallister and Bowen Marsh and join them on the march to Castle Black . They arrive to find that Stannis Baratheon has defeated the Wildlings besieging Castle Black . Due to Lord Commander Mormont 's death , the Night 's Watch undergoes an election for a new leader . Mallister and Cotter Pyke are the leading candidates , but Janos Slynt , who Sam thinks will be a disastrous leader , is gaining popularity . When Stannis threatens to appoint a leader himself if the Watch can not decide on a leader within a few days , Sam approaches Mallister and Pyke ( who despise each other ) independently , claiming that Stannis plans to name the other as Lord Commander , and suggesting that they both support Jon as middle - ground candidate instead . Thanks to Sam 's machinations , Jon is elected Lord Commander with overwhelming majority vote . A Feast for Crows ( edit ) Jon sends Sam to Oldtown to become a Maester , accompanied by another brother , Dareon ( who is appointed as a recruiter ) , Maester Aemon ( who Jon fears will be sacrificed by Melisandre for his royal blood ) and Gilly and her baby . During the voyage to Braavos , Gilly grows despondent , and Sam realises that Jon had swapped Gilly 's baby with Mance Rayder 's newborn son lest he be sacrificed as well . Aemon falls ill during the voyage and they are forced to spend their money on a healer and lodging in Braavos . In Braavos , Sam also encounters Arya Stark , though he does not realise her identity . Aemon hears of his great - grandniece Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons , and comes to believe that she fulfills the prophecy of a `` prince that was promised '' , asking them to inform the Citadel . Dareon decides to desert and Sam fights him , before being thrown into a canal . He is rescued by a Summer Islander , Xhondo , who offers Sam and Gilly passage to Oldtown . Aemon ultimately passes away early in the journey , and Sam and Gilly briefly become lovers in their grief . Sam plans to have Gilly sent to Horn Hill , with the baby passed off as Sam 's bastard . Meanwhile , Sam arrives at Oldtown to meet with Archmaester Marwyn , telling him of Aemon 's request . Marwyn resolves to travel to Slaver 's Bay to meet with Daenerys , ordering Sam to keep his story secret from the other maesters . In the show ( edit ) Season 1 ( edit ) Sam is quickly identified as being soft and weak by Castle Black 's master - at - arms Ser Alliser Thorne and suffers in sword - training until Jon Snow convinces the other new recruits to go easy on him . Sam is assigned to the order of stewards , to serve Maester Aemon . When Jon tries to abandon the Night 's Watch , Sam follows with Pyp and Grenn and convinces Jon to remain loyal to the Night 's Watch . Season 2 ( edit ) Sam joins the Night 's Watch in the Great Ranging . Along the journey the party rests at Craster 's Keep , where Sam encounters and falls in love with Craster 's pregnant daughter - wife Gilly . While camping at the Fist of the First Men , Sam discovers a cache of weapons made from dragonglass . While Sam is out collecting dung for fires , the White Walkers march on the Fist of the First Men . Sam is unable to outrun the army of the dead , but for unknown reasons their leader spares Sam . Season 3 ( edit ) Sam and the survivors of the resulting massacre flee back to Craster 's Keep . Sam witnesses Gilly give birth to a baby boy , with Gilly and Sam realising that they must keep the birth secret to stop Craster giving the baby to the White Walkers . A brawl later breaks out among Craster and the Night 's Watch , and Sam flees with Gilly and the baby . They are followed by a White Walker who tries to take the baby , but Sam kills it by stabbing it with a dragonglass dagger . Sam and Gilly pass through the Wall at the Nightfort , where they discover Jon 's half - brother Bran Stark and his party , headed beyond the Wall . Sam is unable to dissuade them to come to Castle Black , but promises not to tell Jon of their destination . Arriving back at Castle Black , Sam warns Aemon of the advancing White Walkers and Aemon has Sam send the warning throughout the Seven Kingdoms . Later , Jon returns to Castle Black , gravely wounded and disguised as a Wildling . Sam recognises Jon and orders him to be attended to . Season 4 ( edit ) Sam reveals to Jon that Bran is alive and headed beyond the Wall . Sam decides to send Gilly to Mole 's Town to work as a maid in the brothel , as he fears for her safety at Castle Black . Mole 's Town is attacked by the Wildlings , who slaughter the entire populace of the town ; Sam is distraught , unaware that Gilly and her baby had been spared by Ygritte . Gilly later makes it to Castle Black moments before the Wildlings attack . Sam participates in the battle , and manages to kill the Thenn Warg . Season 5 ( edit ) When the Night 's Watch convenes to choose their new Lord Commander , Sam speaks up to nominate Jon , who is ultimately elected . Sam spends his time researching the weaknesses of the White Walkers and tending to a dying Maester Aemon , and comforts Aemon in his final moments as he dies of old age . Later , Sam is beaten while defending Gilly from two black brothers who attempt to rape her , but they are saved by Jon 's direwolf Ghost . Gilly tends to his wounds , and the two finally consummate their relationship . After Jon returns from Hardhome , Sam entreats Jon to send him to the Citadel in Oldtown in order to train as a Maester , while also taking Gilly and her baby to safety . Season 6 ( edit ) As women are banned from the Citadel , Sam intends to leave Gilly and Little Sam at the Tarly seat of Horn Hill , though he warns Gilly to hide her Wildling heritage due to his father 's bigotry towards the Wildlings . At dinner with the members of House Tarly , Randyll insults Sam 's lack of fighting prowess . Gilly defends Sam by revealing that he killed a White Walker , in doing so accidentally revealing that she is a Wildling . Though disgusted , Randyll acquiesces to Gilly staying at Horn Hill as a servant , but forbids Sam from ever returning to Horn Hill . Sam decides to take Gilly and Little Sam with him to the Citadel , also stealing House Tarly 's Valyrian steel sword Heartsbane . They travel on to Oldtown , where Sam is scheduled to explain events at Castle Black to the Archmaester . While he waits , Sam is permitted to peruse the Citadel 's library , and is awestruck by the library 's expanse . Season 7 ( edit ) Sam 's early days in Oldtown are frustrating , as he is assigned to menial tasks in the Citadel . The only person who believes his account of the White Walkers ' return is Archmaester Ebrose ; however , Ebrose refuses to let Sam access forbidden textbooks to learn more about the White Walkers , as he does not consider them a threat serious enough to break with protocol . Sam steals a key to take the books back to his and Gilly 's quarters . He discovers the location of a large deposit of dragonglass in a map of Dragonstone , and sends word to Jon ( now King in the North ) of its existence . Sam encounters Jeor 's son Jorah , who is infected by the terminal disease greyscale . Sam discovers a cure for greyscale in an old medical text . Although Ebrose forbids him from attempting it , Sam treats Jorah anyway , out of gratitude for Jeor 's saving his life . Sam is successful in curing Jorah , who is discharged from the Citadel . Ebrose is grudgingly impressed , but reassigns Sam to transcribe papers in danger of decomposing . Sam overhears Ebrose and several other maesters discussing a warning sent by Bran about the White Walkers ' march on the Wall , and is dismayed when the maesters are skeptical . While transcribing the papers in his quarters , Gilly discovers from a recently - deceased High Septon 's journal that Rhaegar Targaryen had his marriage to Elia Martell annulled and married another woman ( Lyanna Stark ) in secret , but Sam does not realize the significance of this information due to Gilly having mispronounced Rhaegar as ' Ragger ' . Annoyed at being unable to help in the battle against the White Walkers from the Citadel , Sam steals scrolls pertaining to the White Walkers and leaves Oldtown with Gilly and Little Sam . Sam and his family arrive at Winterfell in the season finale , where Sam is reunited with Bran . When Bran tells Sam that Jon is actually the bastard son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark , Sam is reminded of the record detailing Rhaegar receiving an annulment to marry another woman and tells Bran of his discovery . Bran then uses his greenseeing abilities to witness the wedding , and deduces that Jon is a trueborn Targaryen and the actual heir to the Iron Throne . Family tree of House Tarly ( edit ) Randyll Melessa Florent Samwell Talla Daughter Daughter Dickon Eleanor Mooton Tv adaptation ( edit ) John Bradley West plays the role of Samwell Tarly in the television series . Samwell Tarly is played by John Bradley in the television adaption of the series of books . Samwell Tarly appeared for the first time in the fourth episode of first season , as new recruit of the Night 's Watch and a self - described coward . It was John Bradley 's first professional appearance after graduating from the Manchester Metropolitan School of Theatre . The scene used in the auditions belonged to `` Cripples , Bastards , and Broken Things , '' with Sam explaining to Jon how his father forced him to take the black . According to author and executive producer George R.R. Martin , Bradley delivered `` a heartbreaking performance . '' When asked which character he personally would be on the show , Martin said of Samwell Tarly , `` I love Sam , too . He 's a great character - Tyrion might be who I want to be , but Sam is probably closer to who I actually am . The fat kid who likes to read books and does n't like to go up a lot of stairs . '' Remarking on the character 's sex life with Gilly : I think Sam would just happily accept more of the same . He 's not one of the people that tries to inject exotica into his sex life , - Sam thinks about sex the way that most people think about space . It goes on . He has nothing to do with it . He 's fascinated by it in a childlike way . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Game of Thrones Viewer 's Guide '' .

Contents 1 History 2 Barron 's Restaurant 3 Cougar Grounds 4 Hilton University of Houston 5 Hospitality Hall of Honor 6 Student organizations 7 References 8 External links History ( edit ) Hilton College was founded in 1969 , when James C. Taylor , who would become the first dean , presented Eric and Barron Hilton -- sons of Conrad Hilton -- with plans to build a hospitality school at the University of Houston . When they presented the plans to their father , Conrad Hilton contributed $1.5 million for the completion of the project . Classes began at Hilton College on Sept. 16 , 1969 , with 39 students and three professors . Taylor was named the first dean . The first class -- consisting of eight students , most of whom began their hospitality studies elsewhere at UH -- graduated from Hilton College in 1971 . In 1975 , a new Hilton College facility opened , which included the Hilton University of Houston Hotel and Conference Center . In 1983 , the Hilton Foundation gave the college a $21.3 - million grant to expand its facilities and increase endowment and operation support . That gift led to the construction of the South Wing , which opened in 1989 and added 94,000 square feet of education and meeting space to Hilton College . In 2010 , the Hilton University of Houston completed a $12.5 - million renovation to upgrade its facilities and create an enhanced experiential - learning environment for the students of Hilton College . It was the first major renovation to the hotel since it opened in 1975 . Hilton College houses four hospitality - related research institutes , the Hospitality Hall of Honor , the Massad Family Library Research Center and the Hospitality Industry Archives . Barron 's Restaurant ( edit ) Barron 's Restaurant , named for Barron Hilton , is the student - run restaurant at Hilton College . It was created as part of the College 's focus on experiential learning . It is open for lunch , Monday - Friday , during the fall and spring semesters and is staffed entirely by students , from the managers , to the cooks , to the servers . Barron 's serves as a lab for two Hilton College courses : Food & Beverage Service and Advanced Food & Beverage Management . Students in the Barron 's courses are expected to learn foodservice and hospitality industry standards in the lecture portion of their studies , and then apply those teachings in their weekly lab shifts . In the fall of 2012 , Barron 's debuted a new , Bistro - inspired menu . Hilton College students work in the kitchen of Barron 's Restaurant . Cougar Grounds ( edit ) In January 2009 , the College opened the Cougar Grounds coffee shop , the first university coffee house in the U.S. to be run by students as part of a corollary education class . Cougar Grounds serves as the laboratory for an entrepreneurship class , in which students learn about small - business operations , including marketing and sales , price - setting , payroll , cost control , supply management and new product development . Hilton University of Houston ( edit ) The Hilton University of Houston , a full - service Hilton hotel located in the Wheeler District of the university campus , and serves as the primary teaching facility for the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management . It was first built in 1975 and underwent a $12.5 million renovation in 2010 . The hotel has 86 guest rooms and 25,000 square feet of banquet space . Student interns rotate through many of the positions at the hotel , including jobs in guest services , hotel operations and banquet services . The UH campus and downtown Houston are seen from a room at the Hilton University of Houston Hotel & Conference Center . Hospitality Hall of Honor ( edit ) Hilton College houses the Hospitality Hall of Honor , which was established in 1995 to recognize leaders in the hospitality industry . Each year since 1996 , a small group of honorees has been inducted into the Hall . The induction ceremony includes a formal reception and dinner , which are held at the Hilton University of Houston and planned by a team of student leaders . The week of the ceremony , Hilton College hosts a series of industry - related Think Tanks for students . Student organizations ( edit ) Students get the chance to network with hospitality - industry recruiters twice a year at Hilton College 's spring and fall career fairs . There are 16 student organizations at Hilton College , each of which has its own faculty mentor .

Founded in 1882 as a charter member of the American Association ( AA ) , the team was originally named the Brown Stockings before it was shortened to Browns the next season . The team moved to the National League in 1892 when the AA folded . The club changed its name to the Perfectos for one season in 1899 and adopted the Cardinals name in 1900 . The St. Louis Cardinals are tied with the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates as the third - oldest continuously - operated baseball team . In that time , the team has won 19 National League pennants and 11 World Series championships ( most in the National League and second only to the New York Yankees , who have won 27 ) . They also won four American Association pennants and one pre-World Series championship that Major League Baseball does not consider official . The Cardinals had six periods of continued success during their history . The first period occurred during the 1880s when the team won four consecutive American Association pennants from 1885 -- 1888 while known as the Browns . The Cardinals next found success from 1926 -- 1934 when they played in five World Series , winning three . During World War II the Cardinals won four NL pennants in five years from 1942 -- 1946 , including three World Series championships . During the 1960s the Cardinals won two World Series and played in another . In the 1980s the Cardinals played in three World Series , winning in 1982 . Most recently , the Cardinals have made the playoffs nine times , winning seven NL Central titles and qualifying as a wild - card entrant in 2001 , 2011 and 2012 , winning the World Series in 2006 and 2011 . The only extended period of failure the Cardinals have experienced began when they joined the National League in 1892 . The Cardinals played only five winning seasons in 30 years while finishing last seven times from their entrance to the NL until 1921 . However , the Cardinals have remarkably avoided such failure since then as they have not finished in last place in the National League since 1918 , by far the longest streak in the NL . The Cardinals failed to reach the World Series in the 1950s , 1970s , and 1990s , but were regularly a competitive team in each of these decades .

Footnotes ( edit ) The current variations of the Cardinals , Reds , and Pirates all began playing in 1882 . The two older clubs are the Atlanta Braves who were founded in 1871 in Boston and the Chicago Cubs who have played continuously since 1874 . The Cardinals did finish in last place of the NL East in 1990 , however the Atlanta Braves of the NL West had a worse record . The next longest streak is by the Cincinnati Reds who most recently finished in last place of the NL in 1982 . The similar streak in the American League is held by the Boston Red Sox who last finished in last place of the AL in 1932 . For lists of all National League pennant winners see National League pennant winners 1876 -- 1900 , National League pennant winners 1901 - 68 , and National League Championship Series . The Finish , Wins , and Losses columns list regular season results and exclude any postseason play . Regular and postseason records are combined only at the bottom of the list . The GB column lists `` Games Back '' from the team that finished in first place that season . It is determined by finding the difference in wins plus the difference in losses divided by two . The dispute in 1885 concerned Game 2 , which was forfeited by St. Louis when they pulled their team off the field protesting an umpiring decision . The managers , Cap Anson and Charles Comiskey , initially agreed to disregard the game . When St. Louis won the final game and an apparent 3 -- 2 Series championship , Chicago White Stockings owner Albert Spalding overruled his manager and declared that he wanted the forfeit counted . The result of a tied Series was that neither team got the prize money that had been posted by the owners before the Series ( and was returned to them after they both agreed it was a tie ) . The Cardinals moved from their original home , Sportsman 's Park , to a new field called New Sportsman 's Park where they played until 1920 . The ballpark would later be named League Park and then Robision Field under different Cardinals ownership . During the season the Cardinals moved from Robison Field , where they had played since 1893 , to become tenants of the St. Louis Browns at Sportsman 's Park . The Cardinals had originally played at Sportsman 's Park from 1882 -- 1892 . The 1944 World Series was nicknamed the `` Streetcar Series '' and featured the NL Cardinals against the AL St. Louis Browns . Every game during the series was played at Sportsman 's Park in St. Louis . The Cardinals finished the 1946 regular season tied for first place in the National League with the Brooklyn Dodgers , however the Cardinals claimed the pennant by winning the first two games in a best - of - three playoff series . The 1946 World Series is best remembered for Enos Slaughter 's Mad Dash to score the go - ahead run in the 8th inning of Game 7 . In 1953 the Cardinals were bought by Anheuser - Busch and Gussie Busch became team president , which he would remain until his death in 1989 . Busch then purchased Sportsman 's Park from the rival St. Louis Browns and renamed it Busch Stadium . The Browns would leave St. Louis after the season for Baltimore , Maryland . In 1962 the National League increased the schedule from 154 games , which had been established since 1904 , to 162 games , where it remains today . During the season the Cardinals moved from Busch Stadium I , where they had played since 1920 to Busch Memorial Stadium . In 1969 MLB expanded by 4 teams to 12 in each league and split each league into an East and West division , the Cardinals were placed in the National League East . The 1972 Major League Baseball strike forced the cancellation of the first seven games ( thirteen game - days ) of the season . The 1981 season was shortened by a player 's strike . MLB decided to split the season into two halves with the division winner of each half playing in a Divisional Round of the playoffs . The Cardinals finished with the best overall record in the NL East at 59 -- 43 , but they finished in second place in both halves of the season and did not make the playoffs . The 1985 World Series , nicknamed the `` Show - Me Series '' or `` I - 70 Series '' because it featured two Missouri teams in St. Louis and the Kansas City Royals , is most remembered for The Call in Game 6 . With the Cardinals leading the series 3 -- 2 and Game 6 1 -- 0 , they took the field in the 9th inning to claim the championship . Pitcher Todd Worrell faced the Royals Jorge Orta first , Orta hit a slow ground ball to first baseman Jack Clark , who flipped the ball to Worrell at first for the apparent out , however umpire Don Denkinger called Orta safe and the Cardinals unraveled to lose Game 6 and got blown out in Game 7 . The 1994 -- 95 Major League Baseball strike ended the season on August 11 and caused the entire postseason to be cancelled . In 1994 MLB split each league into 3 divisions . The Cardinals were placed in the newly created National League Central . In 2001 the Cardinals and the Houston Astros tied for first place in the NL Central . Since both teams were assured of a place in the playoffs , MLB declared it a shared championship . Houston was granted the NL Central 's position in the playoff bracket by way of a better head - to - head record and St. Louis was given the Wild Card spot . The Cardinals began play in the new Busch Stadium in 2006 after 40 years at Busch Memorial Stadium . They became the first team since the 1923 New York Yankees to win the World Series in their first season in a ballpark . Major League Baseball considers this to be the Cardinals ' official all - time record . MLB does not count the years played in the American Association or post-season games towards the official record .

"The only extended period of failure the Cardinals have experienced began when they joined the National League in 1892. The Cardinals played only five winning seasons in 30 years while finishing last seven times from their entrance to the NL until 1921. However, the Cardinals have remarkably avoided such failure since then as they have not finished in last place in the National League since 1918, by far the longest streak in the NL.[b] The Cardinals failed to reach the World Series in the 1950s, 1970s, and 1990s, but were regularly a competitive team in each of these decades."

The program was created and produced by Stefan Hatos and Monty Hall , the latter serving as its host for many years . The format of Let 's Make a Deal involves selected members of the studio audience , referred to as `` traders , '' making deals with the host . In most cases , a trader will be offered something of value and given a choice of whether to keep it or exchange it for a different item . The program 's defining game mechanism is that the other item is hidden from the trader until that choice is made . The trader thus does not know if he or she is getting something of greater value or a prize that is referred to as a `` zonk , '' an item purposely chosen to be of little or no value to the trader . Let 's Make a Deal is also known for audience members who dress up in outrageous or crazy costumes in order to increase their chances of being selected as a trader . The most recent edition of Let 's Make a Deal has been airing on CBS since October 5 , 2009 , when it took over the spot on the network 's daytime schedule vacated by the long running soap opera Guiding Light . Wayne Brady is the host of the current series , with Jonathan Mangum as his announcer / assistant . Tiffany Coyne is the current model , joining in 2010 , with musician Cat Gray in 2011 .

The show moved to ABC in 1968 , where it remained until 1976 ; and on two separate occasions the show was given a weekly nighttime spot on those networks . The first syndicated edition of Let 's Make a Deal premiered in 1971 . Distributed by ABC Films , and then by its successor Worldvision Enterprises once the fin - syn rules were enacted , the series ran until 1977 and aired weekly . A revival of the series based in Hall 's native Canada was launched in 1980 and aired in syndication on American and Canadian stations for one season . This series was produced by Catalena Productions and distributed in America by Rhodes Productions , Catalena 's partner company . In the fall of 1984 , the series returned for a third run in syndication as The All - New Let 's Make a Deal . Running for two seasons until 1986 , this series was distributed by Telepictures . NBC revived Let 's Make a Deal twice in a thirteen - year span . The first was a daytime series in 1990 that was the first to not be produced or hosted by Monty Hall . Instead , the show was a production of Ron Greenberg and Dick Clark , and featured Bob Hilton ( best known for announcing other game shows ) as host ( although Hall would eventually return as host for special episodes ) . A primetime edition was launched in 2003 but drew poor ratings and was cancelled after three of its intended five episodes had aired . This version had CNN reporter Billy Bush as host , and had a significantly larger budget . A partial remake called Big Deal , hosted by Mark DeCarlo , was broadcast on Fox in 1996 . In 1998 and 1999 , Buena Vista Television ( now Disney -- ABC Domestic Television ) was in talks with Stone - Stanley ( the producers of Big Deal ) to create a revival hosted by Gordon Elliott , but it was never picked up . The show was one of several used as part of the summer series Gameshow Marathon on CBS in 2006 , hosted by Ricki Lake . Alison Fiori models one of the CBS version 's zonk prizes , a live llama As noted above , CBS revived Let 's Make a Deal in 2009 . The revival premiered on October 5 , 2009 , and CBS airs the show daily at 10 : 00 am and 3 : 00 pm Eastern time ( 9 : 00 am and 2 : 00 pm in other time zones ) . Like the program that it replaced , the long - running soap opera Guiding Light , affiliates can choose to air it in either time slot ; most affiliates , however , prefer the early slot in order to pair the two CBS daytime game shows together . From September 20 to October 15 , 2010 , Let 's Make a Deal and The Price Is Right aired two episodes a day on alternating weeks . CBS did this to fill a gap between the final episode of As the World Turns , which ended a fifty - four - year run on September 17 , 2010 , and the debut of The Talk . The double - run games aired at 2 : 00 pm Eastern . Although the current version of the show debuted in September 2009 , long after The Price Is Right ( which made the switch in September 2008 ) and the two Sony Pictures Television daytime dramas had made the switch to high definition , Let 's Make a Deal was , along with Big Brother , one of only two programs across the five major networks that was still being actively produced in standard definition . For the start of production for its 2014 -- 15 season in June 2014 , Let 's Make a Deal began being produced in high definition , with Big Brother 16 making the switch later in June . Let 's Make a Deal was the last remaining CBS program to make the switch by air date , with the first HD episode airing on September 22 , 2014 .

( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Monty Hall hosted the original daytime network series for its entire run ( with the exception of a short time in early 1972 when Hall fell ill and early television pioneer Dennis James substituted in his stead ) ; Hall also hosted its accompanying primetime and syndicated series as well as the two 1980s syndicated efforts , and he served as consultant for the current version until his death . Game show announcer Bob Hilton became the new host for the NBC 1990 series ; however , due to low ratings , Hilton was fired from the show and in October 1990 , Hall returned to the show ( but was announced as `` guest host '' ) and remained as host until the series was canceled in January 1991 . Access Hollywood host Billy Bush emceed the 2003 series , with Hall making a cameo appearance in one episode . Each Let 's Make a Deal announcer also served as a de facto assistant host , as many times the announcer would be called upon to carry props across the trading floor . The original announcer for the series was Wendell Niles , who was replaced by Jay Stewart in 1964 . Stewart remained with Let 's Make a Deal until the end of the syndicated series in 1977 . The 1980 Canadian - produced syndicated series was announced by Chuck Chandler . The 1984 syndicated series employed voice actor Brian Cummings in the announcer / assistant role for its first season , with disc jockey Dean Goss taking the position for the following season . The 1990 NBC revival series was announced by Dean Miuccio , with the 2003 edition featuring Vance DeGeneres in that role . The longest tenured prize model on Let 's Make a Deal was Carol Merrill , who stayed with the series from its debut until 1977 . The models on the 1980s series were Maggie Brown , Julie Hall ( 1980 ) , Karen LaPierre , and Melanie Vincz ( 1984 ) . For the 1990 series , the show featured Georgia Satelle and identical twins Elaine and Diane Klimaszewski , who later gained fame as the Coors Light Twins . Hall ( 2010 and 2013 ) and Merrill ( 2013 ) both appeared on the current Brady version , each making one - week appearances each . The 2013 celebration of the franchise 's 50th anniversary was Hall 's last official appearance on the show prior to his death , but Hall also appeared in 2017 CBS publicity shots with Brady as part of a CBS Daytime publicity photo celebrating the network 's daytime ratings . When the current version debuted in 2009 at Las Vegas , Alison Fiori was the show 's original model , lasting for much of the first season in Las Vegas before the show moved to Los Angeles . During the 2013 - 14 season , Danielle Demski was the show 's model for most of the season while Tiffany Coyne was on maternity leave . Production locations ( edit ) The original daytime series was recorded at NBC Studios in Burbank , California and then at ABC Television Center in Los Angeles once the program switched networks in 1968 . The weekly syndicated series also taped at ABC Television Center , doing so for its first five seasons . After ABC cancelled the daytime series in 1976 , production of the syndicated series ceased there as well and the sixth and final season was recorded in the ballroom of the Las Vegas Hilton hotel in Las Vegas , Nevada . The 1980 Canadian series taped at Panorama Studios in Vancouver , BC , which production company Catalena Productions used as its base of operations . The All - New Let 's Make a Deal taped its first season of episodes in Burbank at NBC Studios , then moved to Hollywood Center Studios in Hollywood , California for the second and final season . The 1990 NBC daytime series was recorded at Disney - MGM Studios on the grounds of Walt Disney World in Orlando , Florida . The 2003 revival returned production to Burbank . The current edition of the series originally emanated from the Tropicana in Las Vegas . The show returned to Hollywood in 2010 , first at Sunset Bronson Studios and later at Raleigh Studios .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Game play ( edit ) Jay Stewart and Monty Hall on the original version of the show Each episode of Let 's Make a Deal consists of several `` deals '' between the host and a member ( or members , generally a married couple ) of the audience , referred to as `` traders . '' Audience members are picked at the host 's whim as the show moves along , and couples are often selected to play together as traders . The deals are mini-games within the show that take several formats . In the simplest format , a trader is given a prize of medium value ( such as a television set or a few hundred dollars in cash ) , and the host offers them the opportunity to trade for another prize . However , the offered prize is unknown . It might be concealed on the stage behind one of three curtains , or behind `` boxes '' onstage ( large panels painted to look like boxes ) , within smaller boxes brought out to the audience , or occasionally in other formats . The initial prize given to the trader may also be concealed , such as in a box , wallet or purse , or the trader might be initially given a box , envelope or curtain . The format varies widely . Technically , traders are supposed to bring something to trade in , but this rule has seldom been enforced . On several occasions , a trader is actually asked to trade in an item such as their shoes or purse , only to receive the item back at the end of the deal as a `` prize '' . On at least one occasion , the purse was taken backstage and a high - valued prize was placed inside of it . Prizes generally are either a legitimate prize , such as a trip , electronics , furniture , appliances , or a car . Certain contestants also win cash , or a junked booby prize called the `` zonk '' ( e.g. , live animals , large amounts of food , fake money , fake trips , junked cars , etc. or something outlandish such as a giant article of clothing , a room full of junked furniture , etc . ) . Sometimes zonks are legitimate prizes but of a low value ( e.g. , Matchbox cars , wheelbarrows , T - shirts , groceries , etc . ) . On rare occasions , a trader appears to get zonked , but the zonk is a cover - up for a legitimate prize . Also on rare occasions , a contestant who is zonked is given an opportunity to play for the Big Deal of the Day ; usually , this happens only if there are very few or no big winners during the show . Though usually considered joke prizes , traders legally win the zonks . However , after the taping of the show , any trader who had been zonked is offered a consolation prize ( currently $100 ) instead of having to take home the actual zonk . This is partly because some of the zonks are impractical or physically impossible to receive or deliver to the traders ( such as live animals or the guy in an animal costume ) , or the props are owned by the studio . A disclaimer at the end of the credits of later 1970s episodes read `` Some traders accept reasonable duplicates of zonk prizes . '' Starting in the 2012 -- 13 season , CBS invited viewers to provide zonk ideas to producers . At the end of the season , the zonk declared the most creative was worth $2,500 to the winner , and other viewers ' zonk ideas were also used . For every viewer - developed zonk , the host announced the viewer who provided the zonk . The contest has been continued throughout the past several seasons after its 2012 introduction . Quickie deals ( edit ) As the end credits of the show roll , it is typical for the host to ask random members of the studio audience to participate in fast deals . In the current Wayne Brady version , these are often referred to as `` quickie deals '' , and are conducted by the host , announcer , and model each . CBS will post information on the show 's Twitter address ( @ LetsMakeADeal ) days before taping to encourage audience members to carry certain items in their pockets in order to win an additional $500 cash , when one of the hosts approaches them at the end of the show and asks to see such items . The deals are usually in the form of the following : Offering cash to a person for possessing a certain item . Paying a small cash amount for each instance of a certain item ( coins , paperclips , etc . ) that a person can produce . Offering cash for each instance of a particular digit in the serial number on a dollar bill , driver 's license , etc . Offering to pay the last check in the person 's checkbook , if they had one , up to a certain limit ( usually $500 or $1,000 ) . Offering cash to one person if they can correctly guess how much the Big Deal of the Day was worth exactly , or the name of the contestant who played for it . Offering cash to one person if they can correctly choose which one of two photos appeared on the show 's Instagram account . Offering cash to one person if they can correctly answer a question relating to their costume . Offering cash to one person if they can correctly guess how much money ( $100 , $200 , or $300 ) was in the announcer 's hand . Other Deal formats ( edit ) Deals were often more complicated than the basic format described above . Additionally , some deals took the form of games of chance , and others in the form of pricing games . Trading deals ( edit ) Choosing an envelope , purse , wallet , etc. , which conceal dollar bills . One of them conceals a pre-announced value ( usually $1 or $5 ) , which awards a car or trip . The other envelopes contain a larger amount of money as a consolation prize . The trader must decide whether to keep their choice or trade . In some playings it is possible for more than one trader to win the grand prize . Making decisions for another person , such as a spouse or a series of unrelated traders . Sometimes after several offers , the teams are broken up to make an individual decision . Being presented with a large grocery item ( e.g. , a box of candy bars ) -- almost always containing a hidden cash amount -- or a `` claim check '' at the start of the show . Throughout the show , the trader is given several chances to trade the item and / or give it to another trader in exchange for a different box or curtain . The final trader in possession of the item prior to the Big Deal is usually offered first choice of the three doors in exchange for giving up the item . The contents of the item are only revealed after the Big Deal is awarded ( or prior to the Big Deal if the last trader with the item elected to choose one of the three doors ) . A variation included a cash box with at various points the host inserting packets of money inside , with the trader allowed to give it to another trader in exchange for a curtain or box . As with the above deal , the host revealed the contents only after the last trader with the box goes for the Big Deal ( again , he / she is given first choice of the doors ) or after the Big Deal segment and before the closing credits . Games of chance ( edit ) A wide variety of chance - based games have been used on the show . Examples : Collecting a certain amount of money hidden inside wallets , envelopes , etc. , or by pressing unlabeled buttons on a cash register , in order to reach a pre-stated `` selling price '' for a larger prize , such as a car , trip or larger amount of cash . Typically , there may also be one or more zonk items hidden which end the game immediately if found . In the cash register game , if the zonk button -- the one that rings up `` No Sale '' -- is found , the trader was offered a chance to find the second `` No Sale '' sign to win the grand prize , otherwise the trader won whatever amount was rang up , often double the amount . In the current CBS version , a board with thirteen cash amounts and two zonks is used . Choosing one from among several items ( e.g. , one of three keys that unlocks a safe , one of three diamond rings that is genuine , one of three eggs that is raw , etc . ) in order to win money or a prize . Sometimes , two or perhaps all three of the items would pay off with the stated prize , especially if multiple traders played . Games involving a deck of cards in which a trader must find matching cards , draw cards that reach a cumulative total within a certain number of draws , draw a certain number of cards from a certain suit to win a designated prize ( with one suit always designated as going toward a `` zonk , '' which ends the game with nothing won ) , etc. to win a prize or additional money . Receiving clues about an unknown prize ( such as a partial spelling of the prize or clues in the form or rap , rhyme , etc . ) and deciding whether to take the unknown prize or a cash prize . Receiving money in the form of a long strip of bills dispensed one at a time from a machine . The trader can end the game at any time and keep the accumulated money , but he / she forfeits it if a blank sheet appears . Updated versions of the game involve an ATM . Depositing a card withdraws cash , but if the ATM displays `` overdrawn '' on the screen the trader loses everything . Being given a choice between a cash prize or one spin of a wheel that can award larger / smaller amounts , a zonk , or a car . Rolling dice to receive cash based upon the roll or achieving a cumulative score within a certain number of rolls to win a larger prize . Depending on the game , the trader is given the opportunity to stop the game at various points and take a `` sure thing '' deal or cash / prizes already accumulated or continue on and risk possibly losing . Pricing games ( edit ) Other deals related to pricing merchandise are featured in order to win a larger prize or cash amounts . Sometimes traders are required to price individual items ( either grocery products or smaller prizes generally valued less than $100 ) within a certain range to win successively larger prizes or a car . Other times traders must choose an item that a pre-announced price , order grocery items or small prizes from least to most expensive , or two items with prices that total a certain amount to win a larger prize . These games are not used on the CBS version because of their similarities to The Price is Right . Quiz games ( edit ) On the CBS version , due to the similarities of the pricing game concept with The Price is Right , quiz games are used instead . These deals involve products in the form of when they were introduced to the market , general knowledge quizzes , currency exchange rates ( at the time of taping ) , or knowledge of geography of trips to certain locales used as prizes . Big Deal ( edit ) The Big Deal serves as the final segment of the show and offers a chance at a significantly larger prize for a lucky trader . Before the round , the value of the day 's Big Deal is announced to the audience . The process for choosing traders was the same for every series through the 2003 NBC primetime series . Monty Hall ( or his successors ) would begin asking the day 's traders , starting with the highest winner , if they wanted to give back what they had managed to win earlier in the show for a chance to choose one of three numbered doors on the stage . The process continued until two traders agreed to play , and the biggest winner of the two got first choice of Door # 1 , Door # 2 , or Door # 3 . The other trader then chose from the remaining two doors . Since the 2009 series , the Big Deal has been played with just one trader . Each of the doors conceals either a prize package of some sort , or a cash award hidden inside a prop such as `` Monty 's Piggy Bank '' or the `` Let 's Make a Deal Vault . '' On occasion , a door containing an all - cash prize is opened before the traders make their choices , but the amount of the prize is not revealed . Most often , the value of the `` Low '' Door ( the lowest - valued door ) is less than the value of the player 's original winnings , while the `` Medium '' Door 's value is at least $1,000 more than the player 's traded winnings . When the Big Deal is not behind the selected door , one of the non-Big Deal doors is opened first , then the chosen door , with the Big Deal revealed last . If the Big Deal door IS selected , the other two doors are usually revealed first , although on rare occasions , the Big Deal door has been revealed second , after one of the other two doors ( usually the `` Medium '' door ) is revealed . The Big Deal prize is usually the most extravagant on each episode , and is often a car or a vacation with first - class accommodations . On occasion , the Big Deal consists of one of the all - cash prizes mentioned above ; at other times , a cash bonus is added to the prizes in the Big Deal to bring the total up to the announced value . On other occasions , the Big Deal is revealed to include `` Everything in the Big Deal '' , meaning the prizes behind all 3 doors are won if the player chose the Big Deal . The Big Deal is the one time in the show where a trader is guaranteed to not walk away with a Zonk . Super Deal ( edit ) During the 1975 -- 76 syndicated season , winners of the Big Deal were offered a chance to win the `` Super Deal '' . At this point , Big Deals were limited to a range of $8,000 to $10,000 . The trader could risk their Big Deal winnings on a shot at adding a $20,000 cash prize , which was hidden behind only one of three mini-doors onstage . The other two doors contained cash amounts of $1,000 or $2,000 ; however , the $1,000 value was later replaced with a `` mystery '' amount between $1,000 and $9,000 . A trader who decided to play risked their Big Deal winnings and selected one of the mini-doors . If the $20,000 prize was behind the door , the trader kept the Big Deal and added the $20,000 prize , for a potential maximum total of $30,000 . However , if a trader selected one of the other two doors , he or she forfeited the Big Deal prizes but kept the cash amount behind the door . The Super Deal was discontinued when the show permanently moved to Las Vegas for the final season ( 1976 -- 77 ) , and Big Deal values returned to the previous range of $10,000 to $15,000 . From 2012 to 2016 of the Brady version , the Super Deal was offered as a limited event ( usually for a week of shows promoted as `` Super Deal Week '' ) and was not played regularly . The show designated one or two weeks of episodes , typically airing during a special event ( e.g. , the 500th episode , 50th anniversary of franchise , etc . ) . In this version , the top cash prize was $50,000 while the other two cash prizes were $1,000 and $2,000 . In addition , instead of using mini-doors , the cash amounts were hidden in three large colored envelopes of red , green , and purple , respectively referred by Brady as ruby , emerald , and sapphire . Mega-Deal week ( edit ) For season premiere weeks in 2015 and 2016 of the Brady version , Big Deal of the Day winners had an opportunity to win every non-zonk , non-cash prize from that day 's episode as a `` Mega-Deal '' . Prior to the start of the Big Deal , the contestant picked both a Big Deal curtain and one of seven Mega Deal cards ( reduced by one for each day that the Mega Deal was not won that week ) . Unlike the Super Deal , the contestant does not risk their winnings in the Mega Deal . Only if the contestant won the Big Deal would the contestant 's card be revealed . If the card was the Mega Deal , they won every non-zonk , non-cash prize on the show that day . Regardless , at the end of the Big Deal , whichever door was chosen was the contestant 's to keep . Mash - up week ( edit ) The week of May 9 , 2016 was designated Mash - Up Week . During each of the five broadcast days , Deal and The Price Is Right each featured one game from the other 's lineup . The games were slightly modified to reflect the nature of the shows on which they were played ; those on TPIR required contestants to price items , while those on Deal used random draws and the offer of cash / prize deals to stop a game early . Reception ( edit ) Upon the original Let 's Make a Deal 's debut , journalist Charles Witbeck was skeptical of the show 's chances of success , noting that the previous four NBC programs to compete with CBS 's Password had failed . Some critics described the show as `` mindless '' and `` demeaning to traders and audiences alike '' . By 1974 , however , the show had spent more than a decade at or near the top of daytime ratings , and became the highest - rated syndicated primetime program . At the time , the show held the world 's record for the longest waiting list for tickets in show - business history -- there were 350 seats available for each show , and a wait time of two - to - three years after requesting a ticket . In 2001 , Let 's Make a Deal was ranked as # 18 on TV Guide 's list of `` The 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time '' . In 2006 , GSN aired a series of specials counting down its own list of the `` 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time '' , on which Let 's Make a Deal was # 7 . In 2014 , the American series won a Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Song for `` 30,000 Reasons to Love Me '' , composed by Cat Gray and sung by Wayne Brady . Episode status ( edit ) ABC Daytime : A clip from the ABC daytime premiere was used on Monty Hall 's `` Biography '' , which aired during Game Show Week on A&E . Another episode from 1969 was found , which features a gaffe that Hall himself rated as his most embarrassing moment on Let 's Make a Deal -- at the end of the show , he attempted to make a deal with a woman carrying a baby 's bottle . Noting that it had a removable rubber nipple , he offered the woman $100 if she could show him another nipple ( she did n't ) . Episodes substitute - hosted by Dennis James exist in his personal library ; a portion of one such episode is widely circulated as part of a pitch film for James 's version of The Price Is Right . ABC Nighttime / 1971 -- 77 Syndicated : Episodes have been seen on GSN in the past . The CBN Cable Network reran the syndicated series in the 1980s and its successor , The Family Channel , from June 7 , 1993 to March 29 , 1996 . The 1980 - 81 version continued to air in reruns on Canada 's Global Television Network through the late 1980s . The 1984 -- 86 syndicated version has been seen on GSN in the past . Reruns previously aired on the USA Network from December 29 , 1986 to December 30 , 1988 and The Family Channel from August 30 , 1993 to March 29 , 1996 . Buzzr began airing episodes from 1985 on June 1 , 2016 . GAMETV in Canada has been airing this version since June 2018 as part of their Gameshow RETRO block . The 1990s NBC version has not been seen since its cancellation . The 2003 NBC prime time version only aired three of the five episodes produced , with no rebroadcasts since . International versions ( edit ) RTL Group holds international ( and as of February 2009 , American ) rights to the show , and has licensed the show to 14 countries .

In 2013 , Aristocrat Technology did an all - new video slot machine game based on the Wayne Brady version . The Monty Hall problem ( edit ) Main article : Monty Hall problem The Monty Hall Problem , also called the Monty Hall paradox , is a veridical paradox because the result appears impossible but is demonstrably true . The Monty Hall problem , in its usual interpretation , is mathematically equivalent to the earlier Three Prisoners problem , and both bear some similarity to the much older Bertrand 's box paradox . The problem examines the counterintuitive effect of switching one 's choice of doors , one of which hides a `` prize '' . The problem has been analyzed many times , in books , articles and online . In an interview with The New York Times reporter John Tierney in 1991 , Hall gave an explanation of the solution to that problem , stating that he played on the psychology of the trader , and why the solution did not apply to the case of the actual show .

In 2007 , Knight 's co-star Isaiah Washington ( Preston Burke ) insulted him with a homophobic slur , which resulted in the termination of Washington 's Grey 's Anatomy contract . In 2009 , after the conclusion of the fifth season , it was confirmed that Knight would not be returning for the show 's sixth season . The actor stated the reason for his departure was due to a `` breakdown in communication '' with Rhimes , his character 's lack of screen time , as well as his decision to come out as openly gay . Knight received generally positive reviews for his performance as O'Malley , and garnered a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards . Despite this , his death received mixed feedback . Contents ( hide ) 1 Storylines 2 Development 2.1 Casting and creation 2.2 Characterization 3 Reception 4 References 5 External links Storylines ( edit ) George O'Malley is introduced as a fellow surgical intern to Meredith Grey ( Ellen Pompeo ) , Cristina Yang ( Sandra Oh ) , Izzie Stevens ( Katherine Heigl ) and Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ) ; the five of them working under Miranda Bailey ( Chandra Wilson ) . O'Malley and Stevens move in with Meredith , for whom he has romantic feelings but did not express them due to his fear of rejection and the fact that she and one of the attendings Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) had a mutual interest in one another . On the first day of internship , O'Malley is selected by chief of cardiothoracic surgery Preston Burke ( Isaiah Washington ) as the first intern to perform surgery . He freezes in the operating room , and is mocked by his peers , and earns the nickname `` 007 '' because of almost killing a patient in such a simple operation ( referring to James Bond 's `` licence to kill '' ) . O'Malley dates nurse Olivia Harper ( Sarah Utterback ) , breaking up with her when he contracts syphilis from her , which she in turn contracted from Karev . His friendship with Karev is further strained when the two become trapped in an elevator with a patient who begins to bleed out . Karev freezes , and O'Malley is able to save the patient single - handedly . He goes on to admit his feelings to Meredith , and the two have a one - night stand . When Meredith tells him that sleeping together was a mistake , O'Malley begins avoiding her and starts dating orthopedic surgeon Callie Torres ( Sara Ramirez ) . During a camping trip , O'Malley learns that Torres has slept with chief of plastic surgery Mark Sloan ( Eric Dane ) , and also discovers that Burke is experiencing tremors in his hand . When O'Malley's father is diagnosed with esophageal cancer and a leaking aortic valve , he refuses to allow Burke to operate on him , instead contacting Erica Hahn ( Brooke Smith ) , Burke 's medical school rival . His relationship with Torres is strained when he confronts her about sleeping with Sloan , but he allows her to support him through his father 's deteriorating health . Complications from his father 's surgery leave him in multi-system organ failure , and his life support is turned off . In an attempt to overcome his grief , O'Malley elopes with Callie to Las Vegas . He later begins to feel that he was mistaken to marry her , and sleeps with Stevens while intoxicated . Stevens confesses that she is in love with him , so O'Malley considers transferring to a different hospital so he can be faithful to his wife . However , he is ineligible to transfer after failing the intern exams . O'Malley decides to repeat his intern year , and confesses to Torres that he slept with Stevens , leading the two to separate . O'Malley and Stevens embark on a short - lived relationship , only to discover there is no real chemistry between them . O'Malley moves in with new intern Lexie Grey ( Chyler Leigh ) , Meredith 's half - sister . Lexie and O'Malley discover that he only failed his exam by a single point , leading him to confront Richard Webber ( James Pickens , Jr . ) , the chief of surgery , to ask for a chance to retake the exam . He passes the second attempt , and begins to distance himself from Lexie , who has fallen in love with him . O'Malley supports Stevens when she discovers she has melanoma , and walks her down the aisle as she marries Karev . O'Malley begins to display a talent for trauma surgery , and is told by the chief of trauma surgery Owen Hunt ( Kevin McKidd ) that it is definitely his specialty . He then abruptly and inexplicably decides to join the U.S. Army . While his friends at the hospital prepare an intervention to convince O'Malley to stay , they all work on a severely disfigured John Doe , brought in after a horrible bus accident , in which he pushed a woman out of the way and saved her life . When Meredith goes to check on John Doe , he seems to recognize her and will not let go of her hand . After several attempts at trying , he succeeds in tracing `` 007 '' on Meredith 's hand . Shocked , she realizes `` John Doe '' is in fact O'Malley . She informs the other surgeons and they rush him to surgery . However , he flatlines and is ultimately declared braindead . His organs are donated after Stevens confirms that is what O'Malley would have wanted , and he is buried a week later . Development ( edit ) Casting and creation ( edit ) T.R. Knight expected a short career with Grey 's Anatomy . T.R. Knight signed on for the pilot as O'Malley , expecting that the role might be short - lived , because he liked that the character was multi-faceted . In October 2006 , news reports surfaced that Washington had insulted Knight with a homophobic slur , during an argument with Patrick Dempsey ( Derek Shepherd ) . Shortly after , the details of the argument became public , and Knight later disclosed that the slur made him come out as gay . `` I was under no delusions , '' Knight said at the time . `` My friends on the set knew . We talked about it . Publicly it 's not my thing to call up People magazine and be like , ' Hey , you want to know something about me ? ' ... I could 've just let it slide and not said anything , but it became important . It became important to make the statement . '' The situation seemed somewhat resolved when Washington issued a statement , apologizing for his `` unfortunate use of words during the recent incident on - set '' . Isaiah Washington insulted T.R. Knight with a homophobic slur . At the 64th Golden Globe Awards , while being interviewed on the red carpet , Washington joked , `` I love gay . I wanted to be gay . Please let me be gay . '' Later , Washington claimed he never used the slur , labeling it `` vile '' . In June 2007 , it was reported that the American Broadcasting Company ( ABC ) and Shonda Rhimes had chosen not to renew Washington 's contract with the show , not immediately specifying a reason . In a subsequent interview , Washington claimed that `` they fired the wrong guy '' ( referring to Knight ) , and said he was considering filing a lawsuit as a result . He accused Knight of using the controversy to bolster his own career and increase his salary on Grey 's Anatomy . On July 2 , 2007 , Washington appeared on Larry King Live , to present his side of the controversy . According to Washington , he never used the `` F Word '' in reference to Knight , but rather blurted it out in an unrelated context in the course of an argument `` provoked '' by Dempsey , who he felt was treating him like a `` B - word '' , a `` P - word '' , and the `` F - word '' , which Washington said conveyed `` somebody who is being weak and afraid to fight back '' . In 2009 , Rhimes told Entertainment Weekly that she may not have handled the incident correctly , stating : `` I was n't interested in what anybody thought publicly . I was interested in what was going on right here on the ground ... with the people I work with every day . Did I do it perfectly ? Of course not . This is my first television show . It was a learning experience . '' Knight said that Rhimes was among those for discouraging him to come out , however Rhimes said : `` I remember saying ( to fellow executive producer ) , ' This is our proudest day here . T.R. got to come out and I got to say to him that it would n't affect his character ' because he was concerned he was going to come out and George would suddenly be gay . ( ... ) The idea that a gay actor ca n't play a straight man is insulting . '' In December 2008 , reports speculated that Knight requested to be released from his contract and that `` they were working out the details '' at that time . In June 2009 , after the conclusion of the fifth season of Grey 's Anatomy , it was confirmed that Knight would not be returning for the show 's sixth season . The actor stated the reason for his departure was due to a `` breakdown in communication '' with Rhimes , O'Malley's lack of screen time , as well as his decision to be openly gay . Prior to the official announcement of his departure , there was speculation that the role of O'Malley would be recast , but Rhimes labeled it as a `` hilarious , ridiculous rumor '' . After the confirmation of his exit , Knight told TV Guide : `` Leaving Grey 's Anatomy was not an easy decision for me to make . I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to play this character and will miss my fellow cast and crew very much . I continue to wish them the very best , and wholeheartedly thank all of the fans who have supported me and the show with such passion and enthusiasm . '' In a statement confirming Knight 's departure , Rhimes said : `` I think I speak for the entire Grey 's Anatomy family when I say we wish T.R. Knight the best in his future endeavors . He is an incredibly talented actor and a person whose strength of character is admired by all of us . '' `` There are ebbs and flows . And every season is shaped differently . With George , I really wanted you to not notice that he was n't there for most of this episode . I do n't think anybody noticed because of the way we laid it out this season . And , actually , he was really lovely and elegant about lying there in all that very painful makeup and prosthetics for much of the episode with no words . That moment where he grabs Meredith 's hand is one of the most affecting moments of the episode , and it was without words . '' -- Rhimes on Knight 's lack of screen time in season five In an interview with Entertainment Weekly , Rhimes said she tried to talk him out of quitting , explaining : `` I looked in his face and he was really sure . It felt like the right thing for him . '' However , in another interview , Knight said of his exit : `` My five - year experience proved to me that I could not trust any answer that was given ( about O'Malley ) . '' Knight was `` at peace '' with his departure , saying : `` There just comes a time when it 's so clear that moving on is the best decision . '' However , Heigl tried to talk Knight out of leaving , saying : `` I did n't think it was the right decision . I felt like some of the problems could be worked through . But by the time it came to fruition , I was ( glad ) for him because he was ready to go . '' On the topic of losing a US $14 million contract , Knight commented : `` From an outsider 's perspective , I get the ( impression that ) ' He 's just a spoiled actor , he does n't know how good he has it . ' There are a lot of people who would like to be in my position . But in the end , I need to be fulfilled in my work . '' Characterization ( edit ) O'Malley was characterized a `` hapless naif '' . On the topic of O'Malley's longtime crush on Meredith in the second season , Knight said : `` What 's going to be very interesting to see is what he 's going to do with Meredith . It 's getting close to time . Whatever he chooses to do will inform who he is the rest of his life . '' After their sexual encounter occurred onscreen , Knight said in an interview with Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune : `` George was n't really paying full attention . He was letting his own feelings override his respect for Meredith . A person really clued in would get that there was n't anything coming back , but he was so in his head about it and caught up in his own feelings that he was n't listening . It 's not just that he loves her ... it 's a kind of selfish love he had for her . '' He also added that , `` I think George has a lot of growing up to do . Part of that is making horrible , stupid mistakes . He 's been pretty sheltered . '' Katherine Heigl 's ( left ) and Ellen Pompeo 's ( right ) characters both have short - lived relationships with O'Malley . Series writer Stacy McKee said of the sexual encounter : `` There 's no turning back . There 's nothing George and Meredith can do . The damage is done -- things will never be the same . They 've just changed something important in their lives forever . '' When asked if O'Malley was becoming more assertive , Knight said : `` I think that 's very true , especially since the elevator scene . The first time we saw George , he failed at an appendectomy , he failed very publicly . In the elevator scene , if he had n't been in that elevator , if they had been in any other place , he would have let someone else step in and deal with it . The fact that it was only George and Alex forced him to act , it was either that or let this man die . He stepped up because he had to . '' Knight also commented that the character does not appreciate himself and his positive traits . On the topic of O'Malley performing open heart surgery in an elevator , Knight said : `` It 's a slow change but he 's starting to realize , ' The way I have been doing things is not working . ' The big thing about the open - heart surgery in the elevator was he was forced into it . He needs to be kind of kicked in the ( butt ) to do these things . '' Knight felt a parallel to George in that his `` confidence is n't always at its absolute highest '' , but overall he sees more differences than similarities . However , when the actor starts to think he is so different from O'Malley , an awkward move can suggest otherwise . `` I was walking , doing a scene with Katherine Heigl . I finished my line with her , and then I walked straight into the light stand . '' Critical of her affair with O'Malley , Knight 's co-star Heigl explained : `` They really hurt somebody , and they did n't seem to be taking a lot of responsibility for it . I have a really hard time with that kind of thing . I 'm maybe a little too black and white about it . '' Speaking of O'Malley's relationship with Lexie , Rhimes offered her insight : `` I love them as friends . They make good friends . We all have that friend we met in school or the gym or somewhere -- we just hit it off right away . And right away there was no pretense or airs . Just pure honesty . That 's Lexie and George . They 're really good friends and I can see the friendship evolving into something even greater . '' When asked what his `` favorite George moment '' was , Knight said his relationships with Stevens and Bailey . Reception ( edit ) Callie Torres ' relationship with O'Malley was initially criticized . Fans were `` widely against '' O'Malley's affair with Meredith in the second season , however certain fans who supported their relationship were critical when Torres was introduced as a love interest for him . Fans and critics were also against O'Malley's relationship with Stevens in the fourth season ; Maclean 's said : `` George must die . He 's slept with virtually everyone except the male cast and has been in love with virtually everyone except the male cast . And he 's not that great of a doctor . Evolve or die . '' Christopher Monfette of IGN said O'Malley and Stevens were a `` mismatch '' , adding : `` Unfortunately , while it 's refreshing to see a plotline driven by activity versus apathy , the idea of these two ever - affable , best - friend characters suddenly discovering their potential , out - of - nowhere love for each other quickly feels both force - fed and emotionally - incorrect . '' Similarly , DVD Verdict stated that George and Izzie were `` one of the strongest ' best friend ' vibes on television '' for the first three seasons , explaining `` they were perfect as friends ( while ) George and Callie made a good couple . '' UGO.com put the two on their list of `` Character Couples Who Should Have Never Happened '' . Jennifer Armstrong of Entertainment Weekly said that when O'Malley told Torres about his affair with Stevens , the scene was too `` melodramatic '' . Laura Burrows , also of IGN , said that the fourth - season premiere `` introduced a new side of George '' . Armstrong said of O'Malley and Stevens ' reconciliation : `` George and Izzie are finally on the old Grey 's Anatomy road to ruin . And I admit this is a good lesson in Grey 's viewing as well as life : Sit tight if you hate something , as nothing is permanent . '' Armstrong also commented that the `` sparkling '' friendship development between Lexie and O'Malley `` won her over '' . The following year , Monfette observed of O'Malley's lack of screen time : `` His growing interest in trauma surgery at the side of Owen leads to an interesting development in the finale , but the character is virtually side - lined this season . '' Carina MacKenzie of the Los Angeles Times said of the character 's death : `` The time - lapse episode was an interesting choice , and though we sped through six weeks of mourning in two hours , it did n't feel rushed to me . I 'm not sure the show could have held my attention for another season of crippling sadness . '' The Huffington Post 's Michael Pascua commented that O'Malley's funeral did not live up to his expectations , writing that it `` was n't as sad as ( he ) thought it would be '' . In 2006 , Knight and the other cast of Grey 's Anatomy were nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series , at the 12th Screen Actors Guild Awards . Also in 2006 , the cast won the award for Best Cast -- Television Series at the 11th Satellite Awards . The cast won the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series at the 13th Screen Actors Guild Awards , and were nominated again the following year . Knight 's performance in season three earned him a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards . References ( edit ) Specific Jump up ^ T.R.

"Knight auditioned for the show, expecting a one-season run. In 2007, Knight's co-star Isaiah Washington (Preston Burke) insulted him with a homophobic slur, which resulted in the termination of Washington's Grey's Anatomy contract. In 2009, after the conclusion of the fifth season, it was confirmed that Knight would not be returning for the show's sixth season. The actor stated the reason for his departure was due to a \"breakdown in communication\" with Rhimes, his character's lack of screen time, as well as his decision to come out as openly gay. Knight received generally positive reviews for his performance as O'Malley, and garnered a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards. Despite this, his death received mixed feedback."

Players can also directly manipulate any body part including the abdomen , chest , legs , arms and feet . In previous Sims games only the fitness and fatness can be manipulated on a Sims body . However , fitness and fatness levels may still be adjusted in The Sims 4 with sliders as in previous games . The base games comes with over 40 hairstyles for both men and women . There are up to 18 hair colour options per hairstyle . Selections of premade designs of Sims are available to choose from , ranging from different body shapes to ethnicities . Seven life stages are available including baby , toddler , child , teenager , young adult , adult and elder . The baby life stage is accessible only through the birth of a Sim and not available in Create A Sim . Toddlers were initially absent from the original game release , but were added in the January 2017 patch . Traits have returned with each Sim having three traits and an aspiration containing its own hidden trait . Compared to previous Sims games where everyday , formal , sleepwear , athletic , party and swimwear wardrobes were restricted to having their own clothing options , all clothing options are now available across all forms of wardrobe and players are allowed up to 5 outfits per category . There is also a filter panel where clothing options can be sorted by color , material , outfit category , fashion choice , style , content and packs . In a Summer 2016 update , gender options were expanded in the game , allowing any gender expression . Now all the haircuts and outfits can be worn by any Sim of any gender , and pregnancy can become a possibility regardless of the gender . Buy / build mode ( edit ) In The Sims 4 , build and buy modes have been combined and is now treated as a single feature . A detailed build - and - buy system is present along with neighborhoods and landscaping . Some locked buy mode items may be unlocked through the progression of career levels . Entire buildings and rooms can now be moved across the lot . Wall heights can also now be adjusted . There is also a pool tool feature , with a custom version and triangular , square and octagonal pool tools too . There are build mode cheats such as `` motherlode '' , which enables the player to automatically gain § 50,000 ( simoleons ) to buy things with . There is now a search option to search for build and buy mode options . When building a house for your sim you can buy already made rooms which can help but costs a lot of money depending on the style of the room . The Gallery ( edit ) The Sims 4 includes social features , such as importing Sims and houses other people have made from The Gallery into the player 's game . This impacts the world around the player 's Sims . Players may publish their creations into the Gallery for other players to download into their game instantly . On January 9 , 2015 , EA released a version of The Gallery for iOS and Android devices . Worlds ( edit ) The Sims 4 base game originally shipped with two worlds : Willow Creek and Oasis Springs . Both worlds contain five neighborhoods and a total of 21 lots . With the release of Outdoor Retreat , the world Granite Falls was available for visiting on outdoor vacations . Newcrest became available with a free update , having three neighborhoods with five empty lots in each , for a total of 15 lots . Magnolia Promenade came with the Get to Work Expansion Pack , and Windenburg was introduced in the Get Together Expansion Pack . The City Living Expansion Pack , released in November 2016 , introduced the new bustling city of San Myshuno . The Vampires Game Pack added the neighborhood Forgotten Hollow . Development ( edit ) The Sims 4 was developed by The Sims Studio , a division of the Electronic Arts subsidiary Maxis , and was distributed by Electronic Arts . This is similar yet different to the development of The Sims 3 , which was developed by The Sims Studio standalone from the ( at the time ) diminished Maxis . The Sims 4 is a single - player game , and does not require a constant Internet connection to play . Players will however need an Origin account and Internet access during the initial installation process for game activation . Ilan Eshkeri serves as the composer for the game 's orchestral soundtrack , which was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and performed by the London Metropolitan Orchestra . On April 25 , 2013 , several screenshots from mock - up flash videos of the user interface were leaked online . On May 3 , 2013 , Electronic Arts sent out an e-mail to several fansites stating that there would be a big announcement on May 6 , 2013 , which many speculated would be The Sims 4 . On August 20 , 2013 , The Sims 4 was revealed via gameplay demo and release trailer at Gamescom . Previews of the building and character creation systems debuted earlier in 2014 . Additional game footage and the release date were revealed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo on June 9 , 2014 . Gameplay was unveiled during Gamescom 2013 , held at the Koelnmesse in Cologne , Germany . Unveiled features focused on the improved Create - a-Sim with an all - new click - and - drag feature omitting the use of sliders and the addition of emotion - based gameplay . Select players called Yibsims who mostly manage fan sites and YouTube videos were invited to Sims Camp to see the game before the public and press , consequently the game received minimal coverage outside fansites . Maxis stated the game would run better on lower - end PCs than The Sims 3 , which was plagued with performance issues on low - end and high - end PCs . It was suspected that The Sims 4 was scheduled to be released in early 2014 , but it was later revealed it would in fact be released September 2 , 2014 . On May 14 , 2014 , producer Ryan Vaughan unveiled another Create - a-Sim trailer on the official The Sims YouTube channel . This included a preview of what the premade Sims Bella Goth and Mortimer Goth would look like in The Sims 4 . The development team unveiled another trailer on May 28 , 2014 that showcased the new Build Mode features . Players will now be able to choose between three different wall heights and adjust the location of a window on a wall , as well as be able to move an entire room from one position to another . EA unveiled another gameplay trailer including more gameplay footage and announced the release date of the game , September 2 , 2014 , during a press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo on June 9 , 2014 . The Sims 4 was released on September 2 for North America and September 4 for EU , Australia and Brazil . On June 28 , 2014 , a video was released showing the `` originality '' of each sim and their emotions . In January 2015 , Maxis announced Outdoor Retreat , the first paid DLC for The Sims 4 . The DLC focuses on outdoor activities in the national park . Until mid-2017 , there were no plans for a console release . However , versions of the game for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were officially confirmed for release on 17 November 2017 . Mac development ( edit ) Upon first announcement , EA stated that The Sims 4 was in development for both for Mac and Windows , both to be released in 2014 . However , closer to release date , the company stated that they were `` focused ( on ) Windows '' and had `` no updates on the Mac at this time '' . In October 2014 further information was disclosed suggesting the future release of a Mac version . Vaughn told International Business Times that the team was `` working on a Mac version right now . '' On January 13 , 2015 , EA confirmed the release of the Mac version as being February 2015 . On February 2 , they announced via the official The Sims Twitter feed that the Mac version of The Sims 4 would be released on February 17 . Features controversy ( edit ) On June 25 , 2014 , EA and Maxis announced the omission of several gameplay features in The Sims 4 that had been included in previous games . These omitted features include swimming pools , swimming wear , and the `` toddler '' life stage ; this announcement also noted the lack of an open - world found in The Sims 3 , stating neighborhood gameplay would be separated by loading screens . Earlier in the development process , a fan - site interview with a producer had revealed Create - a-Style ( CAS ) , a customization feature introduced in the previous Sims game , would not be added to The Sims 4 in lieu of other features . The developers then announced through a series of tweets that the game would ship with a ' stripped - down ' version of story - progression ( a gameplay mechanic controlling neighborhood autonomy ) , and that basements , grocery stores , and school and work locations would not be featured in the game . While careers and schools would still be featured , they would be represented differently from The Sims 3 , more akin to the way they were featured in The Sims 2 . These announcements sparked unrest among many fans who speculated that the exclusion of arguably core features were intended by the developers or parent company to be left out for later paid content , or in order to make rushed deadlines . A petition was launched by some fans to have the features restored for the initial release , even if the release date were to be pushed back . Maxis contended that it was not possible to include every feature in the new game that had been added over time in the six years The Sims 3 was in development , and that these could always be added at a later date , although they did not confirm exactly how this would be done , or whether it would be free or at a cost . Some have speculated that many new features would be released through paid expansion packs , but others speculated that some of the more `` basic , core '' content ( i.e. pools , toddlers ) may be released as free patch updates , similar to how some new features were patched free into The Sims 3 , such as basement features . Questioned as to why some features , such as a cupcake machine , were implemented over what many viewed as key gameplay , Maxis and The Sims producer Graham Nardone attributed the sacrifice to time constraints , the workload and distribution of developers ( and the comparative lack of available developers to some areas of production to other areas ) , as well as risk factors : You ca n't weigh features by how much you want them in the game , you have to consider how many development resources it takes to create them . The tram ? A couple of days from one of our FX guys and it 's finished ... very low risk , very low complexity ( using entirely existing tech ) , and adds a nice visual punch to the neighborhood . I ca n't recall ever scoping against FX ... they always have time to be adding more stuff . Our FX folks submitted their own long list of things they wanted to work on because there was n't enough for them to do . Now , you ca n't take the FX team and ask them to add pools to the game . They do n't have the work skills to do it ; neither do I. Pools , toddlers ... they 're extremely complex features that require months of man hours of work across multiple disciplines and introduce significant risk . If we were to have added one of those to the game , there would have been two choices for us ... cut many small features , or cut one other significantly large feature . Maxis and The Sims producer Rachel Rubin Franklin later elaborated in an official blog post , acknowledging the concerns of fans , and explained the issue on the developer 's focus on The Sims 4 's new core game engine technologies , and that the sacrifices the team had to make were a `` hard pill to swallow '' : It begins with new technology and systems that we built for this new base game for The Sims ... the vision for The Sims 4 is a new experience ... to do that , our technology base needed a major upgrade . ... when we sat down and looked at everything we wanted to do for this game , all the new tech we wanted to build into it , the fact was that there would be trade - offs , and these would disappoint some of our fans . Hard pill to swallow , believe me , but delivering on the vision set out for The Sims 4 required focus . Franklin stated new features such as Sim emotions , advanced Sim animation , interaction and behaviours , as well as the new Create - a-Sim and build mode tools as a large part of the reason that detracted focus from features such as swimming pools and the toddler life stage . However , on October 1 , 2014 , Maxis confirmed that one of its missing features , swimming pools , along with other new updates and features , would be added into the game for free in November , and this happened in the form of a game patch . Other features like basements have later been added in subsequent patches , and the missing `` toddler '' life stage was eventually added for free in a patch released on January 12 , 2017 . Significant features added via game patches Patch release date Significant features added October 1 , 2014 Added Ghost , a new type of sim that is an optional addition to the game , the Deathflower plant , and the `` Ambrosia '' cooking recipe ; Star Wars costumes : Yoda , Princess Leia , Luke Skywalker , and Darth Vader .

A demo was released to the public displaying the new Create a Sim partition of the game in which is supplied , free of charge to anyone . TV spots were also produced narrated by actor Charlie Day . Ratings ( edit ) On May 9 , 2014 , it was reported that The Sims 4 has been rated `` 18 + ( Prohibited for children ) '' by Russia . This decision was based on the game 's portrayal of same - sex relationships contravening the Russian LGBT propaganda law that prohibits portrayal `` of non-traditional sexual relationships '' to children ( see also LGBT rights in Russia ) . Previous entries in The Sims series have routinely been rated as suitable for lower ages ; for instance , The Sims 3 was considered suitable for ages 6 and up in Germany , The Sims 4 is suitable for ages 6 and up in Germany as well .

Reception ( edit ) Reviews Aggregate scores Aggregator Score GameRankings 69 % Metacritic 70 / 100 Review scores Publication Score Eurogamer 7 / 10 Game Informer 6.75 / 10 Game Revolution GameSpot 6 / 10 GamesRadar GameTrailers 6.5 / 10 IGN 7.5 / 10 Joystiq Maximum PC 8 / 10 PC Gamer ( US ) 79 / 100 Polygon 6.5 / 10 Hardcore Gamer 2.5 / 5 EA did not provide review copies of the game until September 1 , meaning that critics were unable to review the game before release . In the absence of initial reviews it was indicated that players were generally dissatisfied with the game , especially the ones who were familiar with the previous games in the franchise . At the aggregator site Metacritic , The Sims 4 received a score of 70 based on 74 reviews , indicating `` mixed or average '' reception . Hardcore Gamer gave The Sims 4 a 2.5 score out of 5 and commented `` it 's a half - hearted experience wrapped in a neat and pretty package that beams a potential to both fulfill and crush your inner - Sims ' dreams . '' They criticized the game for the lack of content and having many bugs . Jim Sterling of The Escapist , in a mixed review of the game , found there to be an `` overall lack of engagement . '' Although noting some positive changes he was critical of the game in comparison to previous entries in the series , declaring that `` The Sims 4 is basically The Sims 3 , but shrunken and sterile , '' and recommending that game be played instead . He also complained of being `` harassed '' by tutorial messages . His final score for the game was 2.5 out of 5 stars . ABCNews.com 's reviewer Derrik J. Lang praised the game for being `` remarkably more intuitive at the start , '' stating that the Sims are now smarter than before , have emotions that affect their moods , and are able to multi-task . Despite the praise , Lang awarded the game with two stars stating that he encountered annoying glitches and that he misses content from previous games , like dishwashers . Kevin VanOrd of GameSpot gave this game a 6 out of 10 . Despite praising the visuals , audio , and the new multi-tasking and moods system , he states that he misses the two main features of The Sims 3 : `` Create - a-Style '' and the open world . His conclusion is : `` The Sims 4 's biggest problem is that The Sims 3 exists '' . Other reviews were more favorable . CraveOnline.co.uk mentioned in an article that `` the awful user reviews indicate a strong backlash . '' However , the website added that `` Sims fans who have n't paid much attention to the ongoing controversy surrounding the game may look at those Amazon review scores and , without knowing that many are immediately dismissing the game due to its cut content , decide that they wo n't purchase it . '' Kallie Plagge of IGN gave The Sims 4 a 7.5 out of 10 . She was disappointed by the lack of content from previous games , and the lack of `` cool '' objects that could adequately replace them ; and the too frequent , albeit short , loading screens . The score she gave is relatively high , though , because `` The Sims 4 does succeed in being a deep and complex game when it comes to Sim interactions , with lots of entertaining emotional potential ( ... ) Plus , excellent building tools make architecture more fun than ever '' . Her conclusion is that `` it 's a good start to what may eventually be expanded into a great Sims game , but it 's not there yet '' . The Independent 's Jack Fleming praised the game for `` The Gallery '' feature that allows users to showcase their creations easily , the new multitasking system , the visual design , the personalities and emotions , the unusual careers ( that , for example , allow the sim to travel into space ) , and the new build mode . On the other hand , he voiced his frustration with the loading screens , the new camera controls ( while noting they can be reverted to The Sims 3 style ) , and noted the lack of content from previous installments ( such as swimming pools and toddlers ) made many fans upset . In conclusion he writes : `` The Sims 4 is an easy game to get into ( though the constant tutorial - ising at the start can actually get a bit frustrating ) and the reasons that people love this series are still present . The game 's creators have tried to make the appeal as diverse as possible and have in most ways succeeded . However , I could n't help but wish I could actually go to space and drive that spaceship around ... '' Nick Tan of Game Revolution states that the game is a case study for loss aversion . He explains that the reason for Sims fans expressing so much anger and dissatisfaction with it is because people `` strongly prefer avoiding losses than acquiring gains '' . That , combined with the hatred for Electronic Arts that greatly intensified after the release of the latest SimCity game , resulted in such a backlash . Tan gave The Sims 4 a 3.5 / 5 , calling it `` woefully incomplete , despite being unexpectedly solid and entertaining in its current state '' . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Jackson , Leah B.

"The game has the same concept as its predecessor, The Sims 3; players control their Sims in various activities and can form relationships. The game, like most of the series, does not have a defined final goal; gameplay is nonlinear. The Create-a-Sim and Build Mode tools have been redesigned to allow more versatility when creating game content. Emotional state plays a larger role in game play than in previous games in the series, with effects on social interaction, user interface, and personality.[6][7] To date EA has released three expansion packs, with the most recent (City Living) being released in November 2016. There have also been several \"game packs\" released, including Parenthood which allows the players to shape the characters' children and teenagers as they go through life, as well as free updates that include major changes such as the addition of a toddler life stage."

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Reception 3.1 Box office 3.2 Critical response 3.3 Accolades 4 Release 4.1 Home media 5 Soundtrack 6 Video games 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links Plot ( edit ) While scavenging for food , RJ the raccoon enters the cave of Vincent the bear , who has a wagon full of human food taken from a nearby rest stop . RJ accidentally wakes Vincent from his hibernation , and in a race to escape , causes the stash to roll out onto the nearby highway and get run over by a large truck . To avoid being eaten himself , RJ promises Vincent that he will completely replace the stash within the week . RJ heads towards a recently built suburban housing development in Chesterton , Indiana , separated from a forest glade by a large hedge . There he discovers a pack of animals recently awoken from their hibernation , led by Verne the turtle ; the others include squirrel Hammy , skunk Stella , porcupines Penny and Lou , along with their triplet sons , Spike , Bucky and Quillo ; and opossum Ozzie and his daughter Heather . The animals are scared , as the development had been built during their hibernation and they fear they will be unable to forage for food in the small glade . RJ shows them the amount of food humans consume and waste and suggests they forage from the humans . Verne is hesitant but the other animals acquiesce . They make bold attempts to steal food directly from the humans , with RJ secretly guiding them to help collect the food he needs to replace Vincent 's stash . When the animals raid the trash cans of the homeowners - association chairwoman Gladys Sharp , she calls an animal exterminator named Dwayne LaFontant , who offers to install in her backyard an illegal , lethal trap called the `` Depelter Turbo '' . Verne sees this and tries to warn the others , but RJ insists they will be okay . Fearing for the safety of the pack , Verne attempts to return what they stole ; he and RJ argue , causing a small rampage through the development and destroying the stash RJ had collected for Vincent . After a brief argument , RJ and Verne make up and RJ rallies the others to raid Gladys ' home directly on the night before a large party . With Stella disguised as a cat to distract Gladys ' own cat , Tiger , the others enter Gladys ' home and collect all the food . RJ inadvertently reveals his duplicity to the animals , just as they are discovered by Gladys who calls Dwayne . RJ escapes with the food for Vincent but leaves the other animals to be captured by Dwayne . As RJ returns the food to Vincent , he sees Dwayne 's truck drive by and , consumed by remorse , uses the food to knock the truck off the road , enraging Vincent . Dwayne is knocked out while the animals get free , and Spike , Bucky and Quillo use skills they learned from a videogame to drive the truck back to the development . RJ pleads to be let in the truck as Vincent tries to catch him , but the others , angry at his treachery , refuse . Verne convinces the group to forgive RJ since he came back to save them . They return the truck to the development , crashing through Gladys ' home , and the animals flee into the hedge . Gladys and Dwayne converge on the animals from one side with a String trimmer and a Cattle prod respectively , while Vincent tries to swipe at them from the other . To escape , RJ gives Hammy a caffeinated beverage , allowing the hyperactive squirrel to move incredibly fast . Hammy is able to manipulate Dwayne into capturing Vincent , causing Vincent , Gladys , and Dwayne to be trapped by the Depelter Turbo while the animals escape . The police and animal control arrive , and Vincent is sent to the Rocky Mountains while Gladys is arrested for using the Turbo . Dwayne escapes when Gladys gets arrested only to get bitten by Nugent . RJ and Verne apologize to each other , and RJ is brought into the group , as is Tiger , who became infatuated with Stella even after learning she was a skunk . Verne realizes they have not had a chance to forage for food until Hammy reveals that while sped up , he had been able to collect enough nuts for them all to last the year . Cast ( edit ) Bruce Willis at the film 's premiere at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival Bruce Willis as RJ , a raccoon who is duplicitous , selfish , and extremely intelligent . Despite his hard outer shell , he is revealed to have a sensitive personality , developing feelings of guilt over using his new - found companions to his own ends . Garry Shandling as Verne , a naturally cynical ornate box turtle , the leader of the foragers . He has his own ways of doing the daily tasks , but his world is turned upside - down when RJ introduces his free - spirited lifestyle into the mix . Though Verne genuinely cares for his family , he tends to condescend to them . A couple of running gags throughout the film are everyone calling him an amphibian and him correcting them with reptile ( though Dwayne already knew he was a reptile , but first mistook him as an amphibian ) , as well as his shell constantly falling off . Steve Carell as Hammy , a hyperactive American red squirrel , whose mouth moves as fast as his feet and loves cookies . He is naive and childish in nature , with an extremely short attention span . The double entendre of Hammy 's constantly trying to find his nuts is a third running gag in the film . Wanda Sykes as Stella , a short - tempered , sassy striped skunk who is constantly being told by the other foragers that she needs a man in her life . Eugene Levy as Lou , a North American porcupine father and family patriarch with an overly friendly and optimistic attitude . Catherine O'Hara as Penny , the porcupine family mother and matriarch ; she serves as a ground between their family and the other animals . Shane Baumel , Sami Kirkpatrick , and Madison Davenport as Spike , Bucky and Quillo , Lou and Penny ′ s three identical children . They 're big on video games and are the most enthusiastic about exploring the world beyond the hedge . Avril Lavigne at the film 's premiere at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival William Shatner and Avril Lavigne as Ozzie and Heather , a Virginia opossum father and daughter who see the world from different points of view ; Ozzie often embarrasses Heather when he feigns death to get away from danger . Omid Djalili as Tiger , a Persian cat whose sense of smell has faded to nothing after years of his `` beautiful '' evolution , and his full Persian name is `` Prince Tigerius Mahmoud Shabazz . '' He falls in love with Stella , who 's disguised as a cat for distracting him while the group steals food from Gladys ' house , and comes to live with her at the end of the film . Nick Nolte as Vincent , an American black bear whom RJ owes food and whose barbaric behavior intimidates him . He used to be friends with RJ until he had tried to steal his food and then losing it in traffic . He makes a cameo in Bee Movie . Allison Janney as Gladys Sharp , a human and president of the Camelot Estates Home Owners Association . She is disgusted by animals and is strict on H.O.A. rules . At the end , Gladys is arrested for using an illegal animal trap called a Depelter Turbo . Thomas Haden Church as Dwayne LaFontant , an over-zealous human pest exterminator hired by Gladys . He is often fooled by plastic garden flamingos , but has an innate sense of the animals surrounding him by sniffing and then killing them . Through this , he can detect the species of any animal that has recently been in the area . He spoofs the Terminator . Brian Stepanek as Nugent , a playful Rottweiler whose only intelligible word is `` Play ! '' , other than barking . Two minor human characters , appearing during the dog chase scene , were voiced by Lee Bienstock and Sean Yazbeck , two participants on The Apprentice 5 as part of a reward for winning a task . In July 2002 , Jim Carrey announced he would co-star with Shandling in Over the Hedge . In October 2004 , however , he left the project and was replaced with Willis . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) On opening weekend , the film was in second place to The DaVinci Code , but its gross of $38,457,003 did not quite live up to DreamWorks Animation 's other titles released over the past few years .

In its second weekend , the film dropped 30 % to $27,063,774 for a $6,612 average from an expanded 4,093 theaters and finishing third , behind X-Men : The Last Stand and The DaVinci Code . Since it was Memorial Day Weekend , the film grossed a total of $35,322,115 over the four - day weekend , resulting in only an 8 % slide . In its third weekend , the film held well with a 24 % drop to $20,647,284 and once again placing in third behind The Break - Up and X-Men : The Last Stand , for a $5,170 average from 3,993 theaters . The film closed on September 4 , 2006 after 112 days of release , grossing $155,019,340 in the United States and Canada , along with $180,983,656 overseas for a worldwide total of $336,002,996 .

Critical response ( edit ) On the film - critics aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has received 75 % positive reviews , based on 168 reviews with an average of 6.8 / 10 . The site 's consensus states : `` Even if it 's not an animation classic , Over the Hedge is clever and fun , and the jokes cater to family members of all ages . '' On another aggregator , Metacritic , the film has a rating of 67 / 100 , indicating `` generally favorable . '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale . Critic Frank Lovece of Film Journal International found that , `` DreamWorks ' slapstick animated adaptation of the philosophically satiric comic strip ... is a lot of laughs and boasts a much tighter story than most animated features . '' Ken Fox of TVGuide.com called it `` a sly satire of American ' enough is never enough ' consumerism and blind progress at the expense of the environment . It 's also very funny , and the little woodland critters that make up the cast are a kiddie - pleasing bunch '' .

The film is produced by Michael Bay 's company , Platinum Dunes , which is also run by Andrew Form and Bradley Fuller . Scott Beck and Bryan Woods began working on the story in 2014 , and Paramount Pictures bought their spec script in 2017 . Krasinski then joined as a director and wrote a new draft of the script . Principal photography took place later in the year in upstate New York . In A Quiet Place , a family must live life in silence while hiding from creatures which hunt exclusively by sound . A Quiet Place premiered at South by Southwest on March 9 , 2018 , and was released in the United States on April 6 , 2018 , by Paramount Pictures . It has become a major box office hit , grossing over $312 million worldwide and received acclaim from critics , who called it a `` smart , wickedly frightening good time .

The Abbott family -- husband Lee , wife Evelyn , congenitally deaf daughter Regan , and sons Marcus and Beau -- silently scavenge for supplies in a deserted town . Though skilled in American Sign Language , the family must nonetheless be vigilant lest they make accidental noise . Four - year - old Beau is drawn to a battery - operated space shuttle toy , but his father takes it away . Regan returns the toy to Beau , who unbeknownst to her has also taken the batteries his father removed . Beau activates the shuttle when the family is walking home through the woods , near a bridge . Its noise makes him an instant target for a nearby creature , and he is swiftly killed . A year later , Regan still struggles with guilt over her brother 's death , Evelyn is in the final stages of pregnancy , and Lee is fruitlessly trying to make radio contact with the outside world . Lee attempts to upgrade Regan 's cochlear implant to apparently restore her hearing , but the device fails . Later , Lee takes Marcus to a nearby river to teach him to fish while Regan visits Beau 's grave . Lee explains to Marcus that they will always be safe from the creatures so long as louder sounds mask their audible movements . Alone at the house , Evelyn goes into labor . While making her way to their specially modified soundproof basement , she steps on a large nail . In pain , she accidentally drops a glass picture frame and alerts a nearby creature . Evelyn flips a switch that changes the exterior house lights to red as a danger signal to the others , and struggles to remain silent during her contractions . Arriving at the farm and seeing the lights , Lee instructs Marcus to set off fireworks as a diversion . He finds Evelyn hiding in the bathroom with their newborn son . The baby starts crying , attracting a creature , and they narrowly avoid another attack on the way to the basement . Lee leaves to find the other children , after promising Evelyn he will protect them . Evelyn falls asleep but wakes to discover that the basement is flooded with water from a broken pipe and that a creature is stalking her . Regan hurries back to the farm . She and Marcus take refuge atop a grain silo , lighting a fire to alert their father to their whereabouts . However , they run out of lighter fluid and the fire dies down , causing Lee to assume that they are n't there . A hatch door gives way and Marcus falls into the silo . He sinks into the corn and nearly suffocates , but Regan jumps in and saves him . They avoid further danger by clinging to the fallen silo door and survive a subsequent creature attack by hiding under it . Regan 's repaired cochlear implant reacts to the proximity of the creature by emitting a piercingly - loud high - frequency sound that drives the creature away . The children escape from the silo and reunite with Lee . The creature returns and Lee attacks it with a ranger 's axe called a Pulaski , while Marcus and Regan hide in a pickup truck . Lee is wounded and Marcus shouts , attracting the creature to the truck . Lee uses sign language to tell Regan and Marcus that he loves them before sacrificing himself by yelling to draw the creature away from his children . Regan and Marcus roll the truck down a hill to escape and reunite with Evelyn and the baby at the farmhouse . Regan , who was not allowed in the basement previously , sees her father 's notes on the creatures and on his experimentation with several different implants . When the creature returns to invade the basement , Regan places the boosted implant on a nearby microphone , magnifying the feedback to ward off the creature . Painfully disoriented , the creature exposes the flesh beneath its armored head , and Evelyn shoots the creature in the head with a shotgun , killing it and destroying its head . The family views a CCTV monitor , showing two creatures attracted by the noise of the shotgun blast approaching the house . With their newly acquired knowledge of the creatures ' weakness , the members of the family arm themselves and prepare to fight back . Cast ( edit ) Emily Blunt as Evelyn Abbott , wife of Lee , and the mother to their three children , Regan , Marcus , and Beau . She is a doctor and is pregnant with their fourth child at the start of the film . Krasinski describes her character as wanting to ensure that their children `` be fully - formed , fully - thinking people . '' John Krasinski , as Lee Abbott , an engineer , husband of Evelyn , and the father of Regan , Marcus , and Beau . Krasinski described his character as a survivalist who focuses on getting his family through each day . Millicent Simmonds as Regan Abbott , Lee and Evelyn 's deaf daughter , and Marcus and Beau 's sister . Krasinski said he sought a deaf actress , `` ... for many reasons , I did n't want a non-deaf actress pretending to be deaf . Most importantly though , because a deaf actress would help my knowledge and my understanding of the situations tenfold . I wanted someone who lives it and who could teach me about it on set . '' Noah Jupe as Marcus Abbott , the oldest son of Lee and Evelyn , and Regan and Beau 's brother . Krasinski noticed Jupe in the 2016 miniseries The Night Manager and later saw an early screening of the 2017 film Suburbicon to evaluate Jupe 's performance . Cade Woodward as Beau Abbott , the younger son of Lee and Evelyn . Production ( edit ) Development and writing ( edit ) A Quiet Place is a production of Sunday Night and Platinum Dunes ; it was produced on a budget of $17 million . Krasinski wrote the screenplay with story co-writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods . Beck and Woods grew up together in the US state of Iowa , and had watched numerous silent films in college . By 2013 , they began working on the story that would lead to the film . They used their experience growing up close to farmland as the basis , including a grain silo setting as a place considered dangerous in their upbringing . They initiated their approach with a 15 - page proof of concept . Initially , the writers had considered developing the film into a Cloverfield installment , but after pitching their ideas to the studio collectively , all of those involved decided to keep the film its own entity . In January 2016 , Beck and Woods began writing A Quiet Place in earnest . Krasinski read their spec script the following July . The concept of parents protecting their children appealed to him , especially as his second child with actress Emily Blunt had just been born . Blunt encouraged him to direct the film . By March 2017 , Paramount had bought Beck and Woods 's spec script . The studio hired Krasinski to rewrite the script and direct the film , which was his third directorial credit and his first for a major studio . Krasinski cited cinematic influences including Alien ( 1979 ) , No Country for Old Men ( 2007 ) , and In the Bedroom ( 2001 ) when writing a new draft . Initially , Blunt did n't want to be cast in the film but after reading it on the plane , she immediately told her husband `` I need to do it , '' . He agreed , and they were both cast in the starring roles of the film . Filming ( edit ) The Springtown Truss Bridge on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail , used as a location in the film Production took place from May to November 2017 in Dutchess and Ulster counties in upstate New York . Filmmakers spent their budget locally , including a purchase of 20 tons of corn , which they hired local farmers to grow . Some filming took place on a soundstage in the town of Pawling in Dutchess County , as well as on - location in the county 's city of Beacon . Filming also took place on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail in New Paltz of Ulster County , using the Springtown Truss Bridge . Outside Dutchess and Ulster counties , filming took place on Main Street in Little Falls in Herkimer County , New York . Sound and music ( edit ) During filming , the crew avoided making noise so diegetic synchronized sounds ( e.g. , the sound of rolling dice on a game board ) could be recorded ; the sounds were amplified in post-production . A traditional musical score was also added , which Krasinski justified in wanting audiences to remain familiar with watching a mainstream film , and not feel like part of a `` silence experiment . '' Supervising sound editors Erik Aadahl and Ethan Van der Ryn worked on A Quiet Place . For scenes from the perspective of the deaf daughter , sound was removed to put greater focus on the visual . They also advised on organizing shots to reflect the creatures ' perspective , like showing them notice a sound , then showing what was causing the sound . Composer Marco Beltrami provided the sound editors music to work with in a way that would not interfere with the sound design throughout the film . In the film , creatures are blind and communicate through clicking sounds . Aadahl and Van der Ryn said they were inspired by animal echolocation , such as that employed by bats . The sound of feedback , normally avoided by sound editors , was woven into the story at a loudness level that would not bother audiences too much . Use of sign language ( edit ) Since the characters communicate in American Sign Language to avoid making sound , filmmakers hired deaf mentor Douglas Ridloff to teach ASL to the actors and to be available to make corrections . The filmmakers also hired an ASL interpreter for deaf actress Simmonds , so that spoken and signed language could be interpreted back and forth on set . Simmonds , who grew up with ASL , helped teach her fellow actors to sign . She said of the need to practice ASL , `` In the movie , we 've been signing together for years and years . So it should look fluent . '' She observed that the way the others used their sign language reflected their characters ' motivations ; the father had short and brief signs that showed his survival mentality , while the mother had more expressive signs as part of her wanting her children to experience more than survival . Krasinski said Simmonds 's character was `` a little bit of the warrior princess , the black sheep in the family , '' and that she used `` signing that 's very defiant , it 's very teenage defiant . '' Simmonds said that for a scene in which her character fights with her father in sign language , she suggested for the daughter to rebel rather than cower as in the script . She also said that at the end of the film , the script originally had the father sign to his daughter `` I love you , '' but she suggested for him to follow with `` I 've always loved you '' to make up for their arguing earlier in the film . The producers Andrew Form and Bradley Fuller said they initially planned not to provide on - screen subtitles for sign - language dialogue with `` context clues , '' but realized that for the scene in which the deaf daughter and her hearing father argue about the modified hearing aid , subtitles were necessary . The producers subsequently added subtitles for all sign - language dialogue in the film . Producer Brad Fuller said , `` And I think once you put one subtitle in , you subtitle the whole movie . You do n't take liberties like , ' Oh they probably know what I love you is , but we do n't subtitle it . ' It 's just gon na live everywhere and that 's the world we live by . '' Creature design ( edit ) Production designer Jeffrey Beecroft headed the creature design , and special effects supervisor Scott Farrar created the creatures . The director wanted the creatures to look like they had evolved to no longer need eyes , and to be `` somewhat humanoid '' in nature . Farrar said the initial creature design showed them with rhinoceros - like horns out of their faces , later redesigned . Vanity Fair reported , `` The team immediately set about pulling references ; prehistoric fish , black snakes , and bats , particularly their movement patterns . Inspiration was also drawn from bog people : cadavers that have been mummified in peat , turning the skin black and giving it a sagging , leathery look . '' Marketing ( edit ) Paramount Pictures released the first trailer for A Quiet Place in November 2017 . It aired a 30 - second commercial for the film during the US football playoff Super Bowl LII on February 4 , 2018 . Of the seven trailers that aired during the playoff , A Quiet Place and Red Sparrow were shown during the pregame and had the lowest views and social conversations . A Quiet Place had 149,000 views on YouTube , 275,000 videos on Facebook , and 2,900 social conversations . On February 12 , 2018 , Krasinski appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to present the full trailer for A Quiet Place . Release ( edit ) A Quiet Place premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival as the opening - night film on March 9 , 2018 . It was selected from 2,458 submissions , and earned `` raves '' from critics , according to IndieWire . Following its premiere , the film experienced social media growth to under 52 million views across multiple platforms , outpacing Get Out ( 2017 ) , which had 46.9 million views . Box Office forecast ( edit ) The Tracking Board reported on March 14 , `` The stellar reviews out of SXSW , coupled with the fact that there is n't anything like it in the marketplace , should help it stand out among its bigger - budget competition . '' Deadline Hollywood said on March 15 that the film was projected to gross around $20 million in its opening weekend . Variety reported on March 27 that the film `` is tracking to open between '' $16 million and $30 million , which reached a basement of low - $20 million by the week of its release . BoxOffice initially estimated on February 9 , 2018 that A Quiet Place would gross $17 million in its opening weekend , and that it would gross a total of $60 million in the United States . By March 30 , it increased its estimate to an opening weekend gross of $27.5 million and a US total gross of $85 million . The magazine said the film 's trailer was well - received online and that it appeared frequently in previews for Star Wars : The Last Jedi . BoxOffice wrote , `` The horror genre has also shown a knack for over-performing against expectations at the box office in recent years , setting this release up for potential success . '' It added that A Quiet Place would have to compete against another horror film , Truth or Dare , which would be released the following weekend . The magazine 's staff drew `` very favorable '' comparisons between A Quiet Place and the 2016 films 10 Cloverfield Lane and Do n't Breathe . Theatrical run ( edit ) A Quiet Place was first commercially released in theaters in the first week of April 2018 in multiple territories , including North America . As of May 28 , 2018 , A Quiet Place has grossed $180.8 million in the United States and Canada , and $131.7 million in other territories , for a worldwide total of $312.5 million . Paramount Pictures released the film in 3,508 theaters in the United States and Canada on April 6 , 2018 , alongside Blockers , Chappaquiddick , and The Miracle Season . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B + '' on an A+ to F scale , while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it an 81 % overall positive score and a 63 % `` definite recommend . '' The film made $19 million on its first day ( including $4.3 million from Thursday night previews at 2,750 theaters ) , increasing weekend projections to $47 million . Unlike most horror films , which are front - loaded on Friday and suffer drops the rest of the weekend , A Quiet Place made $19.1 million on Saturday . It went on to debut to $50.2 million , topping the box office and marking the biggest opening for a Paramount film since Star Trek Beyond in July 2016 . To that point , it was second biggest domestic debut of 2018 , behind Black Panther . The film made $32.9 million in its second weekend , dropping 34 % ( better than the 50 + % that horror films normally see ) and finishing second at the box office , behind newcomer Rampage ( $35.7 million ) . The hold represented the second - best - ever second weekend for a scary movie behind It . The film regained the top spot the following week , grossing $20.9 million ( a 36 % drop ) , but dropped back down to second place the following weekend behind newcomer Avengers : Infinity War with $10.7 million . Through its first two weeks of international release , the film had made $51.7 million , with its top markets being the United Kingdom ( $9.2 million ) , Mexico ( $5.1 million ) , Australia ( $4.6 million ) , Brazil ( $3.9 million ) , Indonesia ( $3.4 million ) and Taiwan ( $1.9 million ) . It also debuted to $2.2 million in Russia , the biggest - ever opening for a Paramount horror film in the country . In its third weekend overseas , it dip only 37 % for a $15 million from 57 markets . In its fourth weekend in international markets , it grossed $6.6 million . As of May 20 , 2018 , the film 's largest markets were United Kingdom ( $16.3 million ) , Australia ( $9.3 million ) , Mexico ( $7.5 million ) and Brazil ( $6.9 million ) . The film was released in China on May 18 and made $17.7 million from 8,731 screens in its opening weekend . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds an approval rating of 95 % based on 264 reviews , and an average rating of 8.2 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` A Quiet Place artfully plays on elemental fears with a ruthlessly intelligent creature feature that 's as original as it is scary -- and establishes director John Krasinski as a rising talent . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 82 out of 100 , based on 55 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim . '' Writing for Rolling Stone , Peter Travers gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars , saying , `` The question Krasinski tackles is what defines a family and what 's needed to preserve it ? ' Who are we , ' asks Mom , ' if we ca n't protect our children ? ' The answers are worked out with satisfying complexity and genuine feeling , proving indeed that home is where family is . This new horror classic will fry your nerves to a frazzle . '' The Hollywood Reporter 's John DeFore described the film as `` a terrifying thriller with a surprisingly warm heart '' and said , `` You might have to go back to Jeff Nichols ' 2011 Take Shelter to find a film that has used the fantastic this well to convey the combination of fear and responsibility a good parent feels . '' Variety 's Owen Gleiberman said , `` A Quiet Place is a tautly original genre - bending exercise , technically sleek and accomplished , with some vivid , scary moments , though it 's a little too in love with the stoned logic of its own premise . '' Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars and said , `` My favorite moment , an encounter between Regan and one of the monsters in a cornfield , plays with sound and image and tension , creatively . Other bits are more shameless ... I do n't know if I 'd call A Quiet Place enjoyable ; it 's more grueling than cathartic . '' Horror author Stephen King praised the film in a post on Twitter , `` A QUIET PLACE is an extraordinary piece of work . Terrific acting , but the main thing is the SILENCE , and how it makes the camera 's eye open wide in a way few movies manage . '' Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com called A Quiet Place `` Krasinski 's breakthrough as a triple - threat entertainer , but it 's been a long time coming ... By no accident , he 's tackled the horror genre while relying on the unique strength that can be seen throughout his acting work , and one that has made him relatable as an everyman across TV and film -- expressive silence . '' Commentary and themes ( edit ) Speaking of the political and social commentary the film encouraged , Krasinski said , `` The best compliment you can get on any movie is that it starts a conversation . The fact that people are leaving and talking about anything is really fun -- but certainly about deep stuff like that , is awesome . '' Krasinski , who did not grow up with horror films , said that prior films of the genre such as Do n't Breathe ( 2016 ) and Get Out ( 2017 ) that had societal commentary were part of his research . In addition to considering his film a metaphor for parenthood , he compared the premise to US politics in 2018 , `` I think in our political situation , that 's what 's going on now : You can close your eyes and stick your head in the sand , or you can try to participate in whatever 's going on . '' He cited Jaws ( 1975 ) as an influence , with how the protagonist police officer moved from New York to an island to avoid frightening situations , and was forced to encounter one in his new location with shark attacks . Matthew Monagle of Film School Rejects said A Quiet Place seemed to be `` the early frontrunner for the sparsely intellectual horror movie of the year , '' like previous films The Babadook ( 2014 ) and The Witch ( 2015 ) . Monagle said Krasinski , who had directed two previous films , was `` making an unusual pivot into a genre typically reserved for newcomers , '' and considered it to be part of a movement toward horror films layered `` in storytelling , ( with ) character beats not typically found in a horror movie . '' Tatiana Tenreyro , writing for Bustle , said while A Quiet Place was not a silent film , `` It is the first of its kind within the modern horror genre for how little spoken dialogue it actually has . '' She said the rare moments of spoken dialogue `` give depth to this horror movie , showing how the narrative defies the genre 's traditional films even further . '' Bishop Robert Barron was surprised by strikingly religious themes in the film . He likened the family 's primitive , agrarian life of silence to monasticism , and commends their self - giving love . Barron noted the pervasive pro-life themes , especially in the choices of the parents , as Mrs. Abbott risks everything to give birth to a child , and her husband lays down his own life so that the children can live : what Barron sees as the ultimate expression of parental love . Sonny Bunch of the Washington Post also commented and expanded on a pro-life message . Krasinski , who had recently become a new father , said in a conference interview `` I was already in a state of terror about whether or not I was a good enough father , '' and added that the meaning of parenthood had been elevated for him by imagining being a father in a nightmare world , struggling to simply keep his children alive . Jonathan Hetterly , writing in Shrinktank , see the film 's whole premise as a commentary on modern American paranoid parenting , saying that Krasinski `` viewed the premise as a metaphor for a parent 's worst fears . '' Krasinski himself has told CBS News `` The scares were secondary to how powerful this could be as an allegory or metaphor for parenthood . For me , this is all about parenthood . '' Sequel ( edit ) In April 2018 , Paramount chairman and CEO Jim Gianopulos said a sequel to the film was `` in the works '' . Screenwriters Woods and Beck had previously stated that they already begun thinking of ideas and set pieces for a possible second film .

"Supervising sound editors Erik Aadahl and Ethan Van der Ryn worked on A Quiet Place. For scenes from the perspective of the deaf daughter, sound was removed to put greater focus on the visual. They also advised on organizing shots to reflect the creatures' perspective, like showing them notice a sound, then showing what was causing the sound. Composer Marco Beltrami provided the sound editors music to work with in a way that would not interfere with the sound design throughout the film.[19]"
