Single-precision floating-point format
Single - precision floating - point format - wikipedia Single - precision floating - point format Jump to : navigation , search Single - precision floating - point format is a computer number format that occupies 4 bytes ( 32 bits ) in computer memory and represents a wide dynamic range of values by using a floating point . In IEEE 754 - 2008 the 32 - bit base - 2 format is officially referred to as binary32 . It was called single in IEEE 754 - 1985 . In older computers , different floating - point formats of 4 bytes were used , e.g. , GW - BASIC 's single - precision data type was the 32 - bit MBF floating - point format . One of the first programming languages to provide single - and double - precision floating - point data types was Fortran . Before the widespread adoption of IEEE 754 - 1985 , the representation and properties of the double float data type depended on the computer manufacturer and computer model . Single - precision binary floating - point is used due to its wider range over fixed point ( of the same bit - width ) , even if at the cost of precision . A signed 32 - bit integer can have a maximum value of 2 − 1 = 2,147,483,647 , whereas the maximum representable IEEE 754 floating - point value is ( 2 − 2 ) × 2 ≈ 3.402823 × 10 . All integers with 6 or fewer significant decimal digits can be converted to an IEEE 754 floating - point value without loss of precision , and any number that can be written as 2 such that n is a whole number from - 126 to 127 can be converted to an IEEE 754 floating - point number without a loss of precision . Single precision is termed REAL in Fortran , SINGLE - FLOAT in Common Lisp , float in C , C++ , C# , Java , Float in Haskell , and Single in Object Pascal ( Delphi ) , Visual Basic , and MATLAB . However , float in Python , Ruby , PHP , and OCaml and single in versions of Octave before 3.2 refer to double - precision numbers . In most implementations of PostScript , the only real precision is single . Floating point precisions IEEE 754 16 - bit : Half ( binary16 ) 32 - bit : Single ( binary32 ) , decimal32 64 - bit : Double ( binary64 ) , decimal64 128 - bit : Quadruple ( binary128 ) , decimal128 256 - bit : Octuple ( binary256 ) Extended precision formats ( 40 - bit or 80 - bit ) Other Minifloat Microsoft Binary Format IBM Floating Point Architecture Arbitrary precision Contents ( hide ) 1 IEEE 754 single - precision binary floating - point format : binary32 1.1 Exponent encoding 1.2 Converting from decimal representation to binary32 format 1.3 Single - precision examples 1.4 Converting from single - precision binary to decimal 1.5 Precision limits on integer values 1.6 Optimizations 2 See also 3 References 4 External links IEEE 754 single - precision binary floating - point format : binary32 ( edit ) The IEEE 754 standard specifies a binary32 as having : Sign bit : 1 bit Exponent width : 8 bits Significand precision : 24 bits ( 23 explicitly stored ) This gives from 6 to 9 significant decimal digits precision . If a decimal string with at most 6 significant digits is converted to IEEE 754 single - precision representation , and then converted back to a decimal string with the same number of digits , the final result should match the original string . If an IEEE 754 single - precision number is converted to a decimal string with at least 9 significant digits , and then converted back to single - precision representation , the final result must match the original number . Sign bit determines the sign of the number , which is the sign of the significand as well . Exponent is either an 8 - bit signed integer from − 128 to 127 ( 2 's complement ) or an 8 - bit unsigned integer from 0 to 255 , which is the accepted biased form in IEEE 754 binary32 definition . If the unsigned integer format is used , the exponent value used in the arithmetic is the exponent shifted by a bias -- for the IEEE 754 binary32 case , an exponent value of 127 represents the actual zero ( i.e. for 2 to be one , e must be 127 ) . Exponents range from − 126 to + 127 because exponents of − 127 ( all 0s ) and + 128 ( all 1s ) are reserved for special numbers . The true significand includes 23 fraction bits to the right of the binary point and an implicit leading bit ( to the left of the binary point ) with value 1 , unless the exponent is stored with all zeros . Thus only 23 fraction bits of the significand appear in the memory format , but the total precision is 24 bits ( equivalent to log ( 2 ) ≈ 7.225 decimal digits ) . The bits are laid out as follows : The real value assumed by a given 32 - bit binary32 data with a given biased sign , exponent e ( the 8 - bit unsigned integer ) , and a 23 - bit fraction is ( − 1 ) b 31 × ( 1 . b 22 b 21 ... b 0 ) 2 × 2 ( b 30 b 29 ... b 23 ) 2 − 127 , ( \ displaystyle ( - 1 ) ^ ( b_ ( 31 ) ) \ times ( 1. b_ ( 22 ) b_ ( 21 ) \ dots b_ ( 0 ) ) _ ( 2 ) \ times 2 ^ ( ( b_ ( 30 ) b_ ( 29 ) \ dots b_ ( 23 ) ) _ ( 2 ) - 127 ) , ) which in decimal yields value = ( − 1 ) sign × ( 1 + ∑ i = 1 23 b 23 − i 2 − i ) × 2 ( e − 127 ) . ( \ displaystyle ( \ text ( value ) ) = ( - 1 ) ^ ( \ text ( sign ) ) \ times \ left ( 1 + \ sum _ ( i = 1 ) ^ ( 23 ) b_ ( 23 - i ) 2 ^ ( - i ) \ right ) \ times 2 ^ ( ( e-127 ) ) . ) In this example : sign = b 31 = 0 ( \ displaystyle ( \ text ( sign ) ) = b_ ( 31 ) = 0 ) , ( − 1 ) sign = ( − 1 ) 0 = + 1 ∈ ( − 1 , + 1 ) ( \ displaystyle ( - 1 ) ^ ( \ text ( sign ) ) = ( - 1 ) ^ ( 0 ) = + 1 \ in \ ( - 1 , + 1 \ ) ) , e = b 30 b 29 ... b 23 = ∑ i = 0 7 b 23 + i 2 + i = 124 ∈ ( 1 , ... , ( 2 8 − 1 ) − 1 ) = ( 1 , ... , 254 ) ( \ displaystyle e = b_ ( 30 ) b_ ( 29 ) \ dots b_ ( 23 ) = \ sum _ ( i = 0 ) ^ ( 7 ) b_ ( 23 + i ) 2 ^ ( + i ) = 124 \ in \ ( 1 , \ ldots , ( 2 ^ ( 8 ) - 1 ) - 1 \ ) = \ ( 1 , \ ldots , 254 \ ) ) , 2 ( e − 127 ) = 2 124 − 127 = 2 − 3 ∈ ( 2 − 126 , ... , 2 127 ) ( \ displaystyle 2 ^ ( ( e-127 ) ) = 2 ^ ( 124 - 127 ) = 2 ^ ( - 3 ) \ in \ ( 2 ^ ( - 126 ) , \ ldots , 2 ^ ( 127 ) \ ) ) , 1 . b 22 b 21 ... b 0 = 1 + ∑ i = 1 23 b 23 − i 2 − i = 1 + 1 ⋅ 2 − 2 = 1.25 ∈ ( 1 , 1 + 2 − 23 , ... , 2 − 2 − 23 ) ⊂ ( 1 ; 2 − 2 − 23 ) ⊂ ( 1 ; 2 ) ( \ displaystyle 1. b_ ( 22 ) b_ ( 21 ) ... b_ ( 0 ) = 1 + \ sum _ ( i = 1 ) ^ ( 23 ) b_ ( 23 - i ) 2 ^ ( - i ) = 1 + 1 \ cdot 2 ^ ( - 2 ) = 1.25 \ in \ ( 1 , 1 + 2 ^ ( - 23 ) , \ ldots , 2 - 2 ^ ( - 23 ) \ ) \ subset ( 1 ; 2 - 2 ^ ( - 23 ) ) \ subset ( 1 ; 2 ) ) . thus : value = ( + 1 ) × 1.25 × 2 − 3 = + 0.15625 ( \ displaystyle ( \ text ( value ) ) = ( + 1 ) \ times 1.25 \ times 2 ^ ( - 3 ) = + 0.15625 ) . Note : 1 + 2 − 23 ≈ 1.000 000 119 ( \ displaystyle 1 + 2 ^ ( - 23 ) \ approx 1.000 \ , 000 \ , 119 ) , 2 − 2 − 23 ≈ 1.999 999 881 ( \ displaystyle 2 - 2 ^ ( - 23 ) \ approx 1.999 \ , 999 \ , 881 ) , 2 − 126 ≈ 1.175 494 35 × 10 − 38 ( \ displaystyle 2 ^ ( - 126 ) \ approx 1.175 \ , 494 \ , 35 \ times 10 ^ ( - 38 ) ) , 2 + 127 ≈ 1.701 411 83 × 10 + 38 ( \ displaystyle 2 ^ ( + 127 ) \ approx 1.701 \ , 411 \ , 83 \ times 10 ^ ( + 38 ) ) . Exponent encoding ( edit ) The single - precision binary floating - point exponent is encoded using an offset - binary representation , with the zero offset being 127 ; also known as exponent bias in the IEEE 754 standard . E = 01 − 7F = − 126 E = FE − 7F = 127 Exponent bias = 7F = 127 Thus , in order to get the true exponent as defined by the offset - binary representation , the offset of 127 has to be subtracted from the stored exponent . The stored exponents 00 and FF are interpreted specially . Exponent Significand zero Significand non-zero Equation 00 zero , − 0 denormal numbers ( − 1 ) × 2 × 0. significandbits 01 , ... , FE normalized value ( − 1 ) × 2 × 1. significandbits FF ± infinity NaN ( quiet , signalling ) The minimum positive normal value is 2 ≈ 1.18 × 10 and the minimum positive ( denormal ) value is 2 ≈ 1.4 × 10 . Converting from decimal representation to binary32 format ( edit ) In general , refer to the IEEE 754 standard itself for the strict conversion ( including the rounding behaviour ) of a real number into its equivalent binary32 format . Here we can show how to convert a base 10 real number into an IEEE 754 binary32 format using the following outline : consider a real number with an integer and a fraction part such as 12.375 convert and normalize the integer part into binary convert the fraction part using the following technique as shown here add the two results and adjust them to produce a proper final conversion Conversion of the fractional part : consider 0.375 , the fractional part of 12.375 . To convert it into a binary fraction , multiply the fraction by 2 , take the integer part and re-multiply new fraction by 2 until a fraction of zero is found or until the precision limit is reached which is 23 fraction digits for IEEE 754 binary32 format . 0.375 x 2 = 0.750 = 0 + 0.750 = > b = 0 , the integer part represents the binary fraction digit . Re-multiply 0.750 by 2 to proceed 0.750 x 2 = 1.500 = 1 + 0.500 = > b = 1 0.500 x 2 = 1.000 = 1 + 0.000 = > b = 1 , fraction = 0.000 , terminate We see that ( 0.375 ) can be exactly represented in binary as ( 0.011 ) . Not all decimal fractions can be represented in a finite digit binary fraction . For example , decimal 0.1 can not be represented in binary exactly . So it is only approximated . Therefore , ( 12.375 ) = ( 12 ) + ( 0.375 ) = ( 1100 ) + ( 0.011 ) = ( 1100.011 ) Since IEEE 754 binary32 format requires real values to be represented in ( 1 . x 1 x 2 ... x 23 ) 2 × 2 e ( \ displaystyle ( 1. x_ ( 1 ) x_ ( 2 ) ... x_ ( 23 ) ) _ ( 2 ) \ times 2 ^ ( e ) ) format ( see Normalized number , Denormalized number ) , 1100.011 is shifted to the right by 3 digits to become ( 1.100011 ) 2 × 2 3 ( \ displaystyle ( 1.100011 ) _ ( 2 ) \ times 2 ^ ( 3 ) ) Finally we can see that : ( 12.375 ) 10 = ( 1.100011 ) 2 × 2 3 ( \ displaystyle ( 12.375 ) _ ( 10 ) = ( 1.100011 ) _ ( 2 ) \ times 2 ^ ( 3 ) ) From which we deduce : The exponent is 3 ( and in the biased form it is therefore 130 = 1000 0010 ) The fraction is 100011 ( looking to the right of the binary point ) From these we can form the resulting 32 bit IEEE 754 binary32 format representation of 12.375 as : 0 - 10000010 - 10001100000000000000000 = 41460000 Note : consider converting 68.123 into IEEE 754 binary32 format : Using the above procedure you expect to get 42883EF9 with the last 4 bits being 1001 . However , due to the default rounding behaviour of IEEE 754 format , what you get is 42883EFA , whose last 4 bits are 1010 . Ex 1 : Consider decimal 1 . We can see that : ( 1 ) 10 = ( 1.0 ) 2 × 2 0 ( \ displaystyle ( 1 ) _ ( 10 ) = ( 1.0 ) _ ( 2 ) \ times 2 ^ ( 0 ) ) From which we deduce : The exponent is 0 ( and in the biased form it is therefore 127 = 0111 1111 ) The fraction is 0 ( looking to the right of the binary point in 1.0 is all 0 = 000 ... 0 ) From these we can form the resulting 32 bit IEEE 754 binary32 format representation of real number 1 as : 0 - 01111111 - 00000000000000000000000 = 3f800000 Ex 2 : Consider a value 0.25 . We can see that : ( 0.25 ) 10 = ( 1.0 ) 2 × 2 − 2 ( \ displaystyle ( 0.25 ) _ ( 10 ) = ( 1.0 ) _ ( 2 ) \ times 2 ^ ( - 2 ) ) From which we deduce : The exponent is − 2 ( and in the biased form it is 127 + ( − 2 ) = 125 = 0111 1101 ) The fraction is 0 ( looking to the right of binary point in 1.0 is all zeros ) From these we can form the resulting 32 bit IEEE 754 binary32 format representation of real number 0.25 as : 0 - 01111101 - 00000000000000000000000 = 3e800000 Ex 3 : Consider a value of 0.375 . We saw that 0.375 = ( 1.1 ) 2 × 2 − 2 ( \ displaystyle 0.375 = ( ( 1.1 ) _ ( 2 ) ) \ times 2 ^ ( - 2 ) ) Hence after determining a representation of 0.375 as ( 1.1 ) 2 × 2 − 2 ( \ displaystyle ( ( 1.1 ) _ ( 2 ) ) \ times 2 ^ ( - 2 ) ) we can proceed as above : The exponent is − 2 ( and in the biased form it is 127 + ( − 2 ) = 125 = 0111 1101 ) The fraction is 1 ( looking to the right of binary point in 1.1 is a single 1 = x ) From these we can form the resulting 32 bit IEEE 754 binary32 format representation of real number 0.375 as : 0 - 01111101 - 10000000000000000000000 = 3ec00000 Single - precision examples ( edit ) These examples are given in bit representation , in hexadecimal and binary , of the floating - point value . This includes the sign , ( biased ) exponent , and significand . 3f80 0000 = 0 01111111 00000000000000000000000 = 1 c000 0000 = 1 10000000 00000000000000000000000 = − 2 7f7f ffff = 0 11111110 11111111111111111111111 = ( 1 − 2 ) × 2 ≈ 3.402823466 × 10 ( max finite positive value in single precision ) 0080 0000 = 0 00000001 00000000000000000000000 = 2 ≈ 1.175494351 × 10 ( min normalized positive value in single precision ) 0000 0000 = 0 00000000 00000000000000000000000 = 0 8000 0000 = 1 00000000 00000000000000000000000 = − 0 7f80 0000 = 0 11111111 00000000000000000000000 = infinity ff80 0000 = 1 11111111 00000000000000000000000 = − infinity 4049 0fdb = 0 10000000 10010010000111111011011 = 3.1415927410 ≈ π ( pi ) 3eaa aaab = 0 01111101 01010101010101010101011 ≈ 1 / 3 By default , 1 / 3 rounds up , instead of down like double precision , because of the even number of bits in the significand . The bits of 1 / 3 beyond the rounding point are 1010 ... which is more than 1 / 2 of a unit in the last place . Converting from single - precision binary to decimal ( edit ) We start with the hexadecimal representation of the value , 41c80000 , in this example , and convert it to binary : 41c8 0000 = 0100 0001 1100 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 then we break it down into three parts : sign bit , exponent , and significand . Sign bit : 0 Exponent : 1000 0011 = 83 = 131 Significand : 100 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 = 480000 We then add the implicit 24th bit to the significand : Significand : 1100 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 = C80000 and decode the exponent value by subtracting 127 : Raw exponent : 83 = 131 Decoded exponent : 131 − 127 = 4 Each of the 24 bits of the significand ( including the implicit 24th bit ) , bit 23 to bit 0 , represents a value , starting at 1 and halves for each bit , as follows : bit 24 = 1 bit 23 = 0.5 bit 22 = 0.25 bit 21 = 0.125 bit 20 = 0.0625 bit 19 = 0.03125 ... bit 0 = 0.00000011920928955078125 The significand in this example has three bits set : bit 23 , bit 22 , and bit 19 . We can now decode the significand by adding the values represented by these bits . Decoded significand : 1 + 0.5 + 0.0625 = 1.5625 = C80000 / 2 Then we need to multiply with the base , 2 , to the power of the exponent , to get the final result : 1.5625 × 2 = 25 Thus 41c8 0000 = 25 This is equivalent to : n = ( − 1 ) s × ( 1 + m ∗ 2 − 23 ) × 2 x − 127 ( \ displaystyle n = ( - 1 ) ^ ( s ) \ times ( 1 + m * 2 ^ ( - 23 ) ) \ times 2 ^ ( x-127 ) ) where s is the sign bit , x is the exponent , and m is the significand . Precision limits on integer values ( edit ) Integers in ( − 16777216 , 16777216 ) ( \ displaystyle ( - 16777216 , 16777216 ) ) can be exactly represented Integers in ( − 33554432 , − 16777217 ) ( \ displaystyle ( - 33554432 , - 16777217 ) ) or in ( 16777217 , 33554432 ) ( \ displaystyle ( 16777217 , 33554432 ) ) round to a multiple of 2 Integers in ( − 2 26 , − 2 25 − 1 ) ( \ displaystyle ( - 2 ^ ( 26 ) , - 2 ^ ( 25 ) - 1 ) ) or in ( 2 25 + 1 , 2 26 ) ( \ displaystyle ( 2 ^ ( 25 ) + 1 , 2 ^ ( 26 ) ) ) round to a multiple of 4 ... Integers in ( − 2 127 , − 2 126 − 1 ) ( \ displaystyle ( - 2 ^ ( 127 ) , - 2 ^ ( 126 ) - 1 ) ) or in ( 2 126 + 1 , 2 127 ) ( \ displaystyle ( 2 ^ ( 126 ) + 1 , 2 ^ ( 127 ) ) ) round to a multiple of 2 103 ( \ displaystyle 2 ^ ( 103 ) ) Integers in ( − 2 128 + 2 104 , − 2 127 − 1 ) ( \ displaystyle ( - 2 ^ ( 128 ) + 2 ^ ( 104 ) , - 2 ^ ( 127 ) - 1 ) ) or in ( 2 127 + 1 , 2 128 − 2 104 ) ( \ displaystyle ( 2 ^ ( 127 ) + 1 , 2 ^ ( 128 ) - 2 ^ ( 104 ) ) ) round to a multiple of 2 127 − 23 ( \ displaystyle 2 ^ ( 127 - 23 ) ) Integers larger than or equal to 2 128 ( \ displaystyle 2 ^ ( 128 ) ) or smaller than or equal to − 2 128 ( \ displaystyle - 2 ^ ( 128 ) ) are rounded to `` infinity '' . Optimizations ( edit ) The design of floating - point format allows various optimisations , resulting from the easy generation of a base - 2 logarithm approximation from an integer view of the raw bit pattern . Integer arithmetic and bit - shifting can yield an approximation to reciprocal square root ( fast inverse square root ) , commonly required in computer graphics ) .

Thymus
Thymus - wikipedia Thymus This article is about a human organ . For culinary use of animal thymus , see Sweetbread . For the plant genus Thymus , see Thymus ( plant ) . For other uses , see Thymus ( disambiguation ) . Thymus Thymus Details System Immune system ( Lymphatic system ) Lymph tracheobronchial , parasternal Identifiers Latin Thymus MeSH D013950 TA A13. 1.02. 001 FMA 9609 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) The thymus is a specialized primary lymphoid organ of the immune system . Within the thymus , T cells mature . T cells are critical to the adaptive immune system , where the body adapts specifically to foreign invaders . The thymus is composed of two identical lobes and is located anatomically in the anterior superior mediastinum , in front of the heart and behind the sternum . Histologically , each lobe of the thymus can be divided into a central medulla and a peripheral cortex which is surrounded by an outer capsule . The cortex and medulla play different roles in the development of T cells . Cells in the thymus can be divided into thymic stromal cells and cells of hematopoietic origin ( derived from bone marrow resident hematopoietic stem cells ) . Developing T cells are referred to as thymocytes and are of hematopoietic origin . Stromal cells include epithelial cells of the thymic cortex and medulla , and dendritic cells . The thymus provides an inductive environment for development of T cells from hematopoietic progenitor cells . In addition , thymic stromal cells allow for the selection of a functional and self - tolerant T cell repertoire . Therefore , one of the most important roles of the thymus is the induction of central tolerance . The thymus is largest and most active during the neonatal and pre-adolescent periods . By the early teens , the thymus begins to atrophy and thymic stroma is mostly replaced by adipose ( fat ) tissue . Nevertheless , residual T lymphopoiesis continues throughout adult life .

At birth it is about 4 -- 6 cm long , 2.5 -- 5 cm wide , and about 1 cm thick . It is made up of two lobes that meet in upper midline , that stretch from below the thyroid in the neck to as low as the cartilage of the fourth rib . It lies beneath the sternum , rests on the pericardium , and is separated from the aortic arch and great vessels by a layer of fascia . The left brachiocephalic vein may even be embedded within the thymus . In the neck , it lies on the front and sides of the trachea , behind the sternohyoidei and sternothyreoidei . The thymus enlarges during childhood , and atrophies at puberty . Unlike many other organs , the thymus is at its largest in childhood . The thymus reaches maximum weight ( 20 to 37 grams ) by the time of puberty . The thymus of older people is scarcely distinguishable from surrounding fatty tissue . With aging the thymus slowly shrinks , eventually degenerating into tiny islands of fatty tissue . By the age of 75 years , the thymus weighs only 6 grams . In children the thymus is grayish - pink in colour and in adults it is yellow . Microanatomy ( edit ) The thymus consists of two lobes , merged in the middle , surrounded by a capsule that extends with blood vessels into the interior . The lobes consists of a dense outer cortex and an inner less dense medulla . The lobes are divided into smaller lobules 0.5 - 2mm diameter , between which extrude radiating insertions from the capsule along ( septa ) . The cortex is mainly made up of thymocytes , supported by a network of finely - branched epithelial reticular cells , which is continuous with a similar network in the medulla . This network forms an adventitia to the blood vessels , which enter the cortex via septa near the junction with the medulla . The cortex is the location of the earliest events in thymocyte development , where T - cell receptor gene rearrangement and positive selection takes place . In the medulla , the network of reticular cells is coarser than in the cortex , the lymphoid cells are relatively fewer in number , and there are concentric , nest - like bodies called Hassall 's corpuscles . These are concentric , layered whorls of epithelial cells that increase in number throughout life . They are the remains of the epithelial tubes , which grow out from the third pharyngeal pouches of the embryo to form the thymus . In the center of the medullary portion there are very few vessels , and they are of minute size . The medulla is the location of the latter events in thymocyte development . Thymocytes that reach the medulla have already successfully undergone T - cell receptor gene rearrangement and positive selection , and have been exposed to a limited degree of negative selection . The medulla is specialized to allow thymocytes to undergo additional rounds of negative selection to remove auto - reactive T cells from the mature repertoire . Transcriptional regulators AIRE and FEZ2 are expressed by the thymic medullary epithelium , and drives the transcription of organ - specific genes such as insulin to allow maturing thymocytes to be exposed to a more complex set of self - antigens than is present in the cortex . Micrograph of the thymus Structure of the thymus . Micrograph showing a Hassall 's corpuscle , found within the medulla of the thymus . Blood and nerve supply ( edit ) The arteries supplying the thymus are branches of the internal thoracic , and inferior thyroid arteries , with branches from the superior thyroid artery sometimes seen . The branches reach the thymus and travel with the septa of the capsule into the area between the cortex and medulla , where they enter the thymus itself . The veins end in the left brachiocephalic vein , internal thoracic vein , and in the inferior thyroid veins . Lymphatic vessels travel only away from the thymus , accompanying the arteries and veins . These drain into the brachiocephalic , tracheobronchial and parasternal l lymph nodes . The nerves supplying the thymus arise from the vagus nerve and the cervical sympathetic chain . Branches from the phrenic nerves reach the investing capsule , but do not enter into the thymus itself . Although present , the exact role of the nerve supply of the thymus is little understood . Variation ( edit ) The two lobes differ slightly in size and may be united or separated . Thymic tissue sometimes be found scattered on or around the gland . Development ( edit ) Scheme showing development of branchial epithelial bodies . I , II , III , IV . Branchial pouches . : Thoracic cavity of foetus The thyomocytes and the epithelium of the thymus have different developmental origins . The epithelium of the thymus develops first , appearing as two flask - shape endodermal diverticula , which arise one on either side , from the third pharyngeal pouch , and extend outward and backward into the surrounding mesoderm and neural crest - derived mesenchyme in front of the ventral aorta . Here the thymocytes and epithelium meet and join with connective tissue . The pharyngeal opening of each diverticulum is soon obliterated , but the neck of the flask persists for some time as a cellular cord . By further proliferation of the cells lining the flask , buds of cells are formed , which become surrounded and isolated by the invading mesoderm . Additional portions of thymus tissue are sometimes developed from the fourth pharyngeal pouch . The epithelium forms fine lobules , and develops into a sponge - like structure . During this stage , hematopoietic bone - marrow precursors migrate into the thymus . Normal development is dependent on the interaction between the epithelium and the hematopoietic thymocytes . Iodine is also necessary for thymus development and activity . Involution ( edit ) Main article : Thymic involution The thymus continues to grow between birth and puberty and then begins to atrophy , called thymic involution . The process accelerates after puberty , thymus decreases both in size and activity , and the tissue of the thymus is primarily replaced with fat ( a phenomenon known as `` organ involution '' ) . The atrophy is due to the increased circulating level of sex hormones , and chemical or physical castration of an adult results in the thymus increasing in size and activity . Fat cells are first visible in the walls between lobules , and then slowly spread throughout the cortex and then medulla . Function ( edit ) In the two lobes , hematopoietic precursors from the bone - marrow , referred to as thymocytes , mature into T cells . Once mature , T cells emigrate from the thymus and make up the peripheral T cells responsible for directing many parts of the adaptive immune system . Loss of the thymus at an early age through genetic mutation ( as in DiGeorge Syndrome ) results in severe immunodeficiency and subsequent high susceptibility to infection . Each T cell attacks a specific substance which it identifies with its receptor . T cells have receptors which are generated by randomly shuffling gene segments . Each T cell attacks a different antigen . T cells that attack the body 's own proteins are eliminated in the thymus . Thymic epithelial cells express major proteins from elsewhere in the body . First , T cells undergo `` Positive Selection '' , whereby the cell comes in contact with self - MHC , expressed by thymic epithelial cells ; those with no interaction die by a lack of stimulatory signal . Second , the T cell undergoes `` Negative Selection '' by interacting with thymic dendritic cells , whereby T cells with a strong interaction with self - MHC and / or self - antigen die by induced apoptosis or are induced to become a regulatory T cell , to avoid autoimmunity . Those with intermediate affinity survive . The stock of T - lymphocytes is built up in early life , so the function of the thymus is diminished in adults . It is largely degenerated in elderly adults and is barely identifiable , consisting mostly of fatty tissue . Involution of the thymus has been linked to loss of immune function in the elderly , susceptibility to infection and to cancer . The ability of T cells to recognize foreign antigens is mediated by the T - cell receptor . The T - cell receptor undergoes genetic rearrangement during thymocyte maturation , resulting in each T cell bearing a unique T - cell receptor , specific to a limited set of peptide : MHC combinations . The random nature of the genetic rearrangement results in a requirement of central tolerance mechanisms to remove or inactivate those T cells which bear a T - cell receptor with the ability to recognise self - peptides . A rare population of hematopoietic progenitor cells enter the thymus from the blood , and expands by cell division to generate a large population of immature thymocytes . Immature thymocytes each make distinct T - cell receptors by a process of gene rearrangement . This process is error - prone , and some thymocytes fail to make functional T - cell receptors , whereas other thymocytes make T - cell receptors that are autoreactive . Immature thymocytes undergo a process of selection , based on the specificity of their T - cell receptors . This involves selection of T cells that are functional ( positive selection ) , and elimination of T cells that are autoreactive ( negative selection ) . The medulla of the thymus is the site of T Cell maturation . type : functional ( positive selection ) autoreactive ( negative selection ) location : cortex medulla In order to be positively - selected , thymocytes will have to interact with several cell surface molecules , MHC / HLA , to ensure reactivity and specificity . Positive selection eliminates ( by apoptosis ) weakly - binding cells and only takes strongly - or medium - binding cells . ( Binding refers to the ability of the T - cell receptors to bind to either MHC class I / II or peptide molecules . ) Negative selection is not 100 % complete . Some autoreactive T cells escape thymic censorship , and are released into the circulation . Additional mechanisms of tolerance active in the periphery exist to silence these cells such as anergy , deletion , and regulatory T cells . If these peripheral tolerance mechanisms also fail , autoimmunity may arise . Cells that pass both levels of selection are released into the bloodstream to perform vital immune functions . The thymus also secretes hormones and cytokines that regulate the maturation of T cells , including thymulin , thymopoietin , and thymosins . Clinical significance ( edit ) The immune system is a multicomponent interactive system . It effectively protects the host from various infections . An improperly functioning immune system can cause discomfort , disease or even death . The type of malfunction falls into one or more of the following major groups : hypersensitivity or allergy , auto - immune disease , or immunodeficiency . Hypersensitivity ( edit ) Allergy results from an inappropriate and excessive immune response to common antigens . Substances that trigger an allergic response are called allergens . Allergies involve mainly IgE , antibodies , and histamine . Mast cells release the histamine . Sometimes an allergen may cause a sudden and severe , possibly fatal reaction in a sensitive individual ; this is called anaphylaxis . Immunodeficiency ( edit ) As the thymus is the organ of T - cell development , any congenital defect in thymic genesis or a defect in thymocyte development can lead to a profound T cell deficiency in primary immunodeficiency disease . Defects that affect both the T cell and B cell lymphocyte lineages result in severe combined immunodeficiency ( SCID ) . Acquired T cell deficiencies can also affect thymocyte development in the thymus . DiGeorge syndrome ( edit ) DiGeorge syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the deletion of a small section of chromosome 22 . This results in a midline congenital defect including thymic aplasia , or congenital deficiency of a thymus . Patients may present with a profound immunodeficiency disease , due to the lack of T cells . No other immune cell lineages are affected by the congenital absence of the thymus . DiGeorge syndrome is the most common congenital cause of thymic aplasia in humans . In mice , the nude mouse strain are congenitally thymic deficient . These mice are an important model of primary T cell deficiency . SCID ( edit ) Severe combined immunodeficiency syndromes ( SCID ) are group of rare congenital genetic diseases that result in combined T lymphocyte and B lymphocyte deficiencies . These syndromes are caused by defective hematopoietic progenitor cells which are the precursors of both B - and T cells . This results in a severe reduction in developing thymocytes in the thymus and consequently thymic atrophy . A number of genetic defects can cause SCID , including IL - 7 receptor deficiency , common gamma chain deficiency , and recombination activating gene deficiency . The gene that codes for the enzyme called ADA ( adenine deaminase ) , is located on chromosomes 20 . HIV / AIDS ( edit ) The HIV virus causes an acquired T - cell immunodeficiency syndrome ( AIDS ) by specifically killing CD4 T cells . Whereas the major effect of the virus is on mature peripheral T cells , HIV can also infect developing thymocytes in the thymus , most of which express CD4 . Autoimmune disease ( edit ) Autoimmune diseases are caused by a hyperactive immune system that instead of attacking pathogens reacts against the host organism ( self ) causing disease . One of the primary functions of the thymus is to prevent autoimmunity through the process of central tolerance , immunologic tolerance to self antigens . APECED ( edit ) Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy - candidiasis - ectodermal dystrophy ( APECED ) is an extremely rare genetic autoimmune syndrome . However , this disease highlights the importance of the thymus in prevention of autoimmunity . This disease is caused by mutations in the Autoimmune Regulator ( AIRE ) gene . AIRE allows for the ectopic expression of tissue - specific proteins in the thymus medulla , such as proteins that would normally only be expressed in the eye or pancreas . This expression in the thymus , allows for the deletion of autoreactive thymocytes by exposing them to self - antigens during their development , a mechanism of central tolerance . Patients with APECED develop an autoimmune disease that affects multiple endocrine tissues . Thymoma - associated multiorgan autoimmunity ( TAMA ) ( edit ) A GVHD - like disease called thymoma - associated multiorgan autoimmunity ( TAMA ) can occur in patients with thymoma . In these patients rather than a donor being a source of pathogenic T cells , the patient 's own malignant thymus produces self - directed T cells . This is because the malignant thymus is incapable of appropriately educating developing thymocytes to eliminate self - reactive T cells . The end result is a disease virtually indistinguishable from GVHD . Myasthenia gravis ( edit ) Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies that block acetylcholine receptors . Myasthenia gravis is often associated with thymic hyperplasia . Thymectomy may be necessary to treat the disease . Patients with the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis commonly ( 70 % ) are found to have thymic hyperplasia or malignancy . Cancer ( edit ) Two primary forms of tumours originate in the thymus . Thymomas ( edit ) Tumours originating from the thymic epithelial cells are called thymomas , and are found in about 10 - 15 % of patients with myasthenia gravis . Symptoms are sometimes confused with bronchitis or a strong cough because the tumour presses on the recurrent laryngeal nerve . All thymomas are potentially cancerous , but they can vary a great deal . Some grow very slowly . Others grow rapidly and can spread to surrounding tissues . Treatment of thymomas often requires surgery to remove the entire thymus . Lymphomas ( edit ) Tumours originating from the thymocytes are called thymic lymphomas . Lymphomas or leukemias of thymocyte origin are classified as Precursor T acute lymphoblastic leukemia / lymphoma ( T - ALL ) . People with an enlarged thymus , particularly children , were treated with intense radiation in the years before 1950 . There is an elevated incidence of thyroid cancer and leukemia in treated individuals . Cervical thymic cyst ( edit ) Cervical thymus is a rare malformation . Thymic tissue containing cysts is rarely described in the literature , ectopic glandular tissue included in the wall of cystic formation can trigger a series of problems similar to those of thymus . Thymic cysts are uncommon lesions , about 150 cases being found . While thymic cyst and ectopic cervical thymus are identified most frequently in childhood , the mean age at which thymoma is diagnosed is 45 years . However , studies have shown the existence of necrotic thymic tissue masses in the neck ( asymptomatic intravital ) more frequently , the incidence reaching nearly 30 % . These observations may mean absence of clinical observation . Surgical removal ( edit ) Thymectomy is the surgical removal of the thymus . The usual reason for a thymectomy is to gain access to the heart for surgery to correct congenital heart defects in the neonatal period . In neonates , but not older children or adults , the relative size of the thymus obstructs surgical access to the heart . Removal of the thymus in infancy results in immunodeficiency by some measures , although T cells develop compensating function and it remains unknown whether disease incidence in later life is significantly greater . This is because sufficient T cells are generated during fetal life prior to birth . These T cells are long - lived and can proliferate by homeostatic proliferation throughout the lifetime of the patient . However , there is evidence of premature immune aging in patients thymectomized during early childhood . Other indications for thymectomy include the removal of thymomas and the treatment of myasthenia gravis . Thymectomy is not indicated for the treatment of primary thymic lymphomas . However , a thymic biopsy may be necessary to make the pathologic diagnosis . Research ( edit ) Thymus transplantation ( edit ) Main article : Thymus transplantation A thymus may be transplanted , however , this approach is problematic due to donor requirements and matching tissue with the patient . Thymus tissue engineering ( edit ) A fully functional thymus derived from reprogrammed mouse embryonic fibroblasts has been grown in the kidney capsule of mice . The newly formed organ resembled a normal thymus histologically and molecularly , and upon transplantation it was able to restore immune function in immunocompromised mice . The mouse embryonic fibroblasts were reprogrammed into thymic epithelial cells ( TECs ) by enforcing the expression of one transcription factor , FOXN1 . Society and culture ( edit ) When used as food for humans , animal thymic tissue is known as ( one of the kinds of ) sweetbread . History ( edit ) The thymus was known to the ancient Greeks , and its name comes from the Greek word θυμός ( thumos ) , meaning `` anger '' , or `` heart , soul , desire , life '' , possibly because of its location in the chest , near where emotions are subjectively felt ; or else the name comes from the herb thyme ( also in Greek θύμος or θυμάρι ) , which became the name for a `` warty excrescence '' , possibly due to its resemblance to a bunch of thyme . Galen was the first to note that the size of the organ changed over the duration of a person 's life . In the nineteenth century , a condition was identified as status thymicolymphaticus defined by an increase in lymphoid tissue and an enlarged thymus . It was thought to be a cause of sudden infant death syndrome but is now an obsolete term . Due to the large numbers of apoptotic lymphocytes , the thymus was originally dismissed as a `` lymphocyte graveyard '' , without functional importance . The importance of the thymus in the immune system was discovered in 1961 by Jacques Miller , by surgically removing the thymus from one day old mice , and observing the subsequent deficiency in a lymphocyte population , subsequently named T cells after the organ of their origin . Recently , advances in immunology have allowed the function of the thymus in T - cell maturation to be more fully understood . Other animals ( edit ) A sheep thymus , several times enlarged , in Peste des petits ruminants The thymus is present in all jawed vertebrates , where it undergoes the same shrinkage with age and plays the same immunological function as in human beings . Recently , a discrete thymus - like lympho - epithelial structure , termed the thymoid , was discovered in the gills of larval lampreys . Hagfish possess a protothymus associated with the pharyngeal velar muscles , which is responsible for a variety of immune responses . Little is known about the immune mechanisms of tunicates or of Amphioxus . The thymus is also present in most vertebrates , with similar structure and function as the human thymus . Some animals have multiple secondary ( smaller ) thymi in the neck ; this phenomenon has been reported for mice and also occurs in 5 out of 6 human fetuses . As in humans , the Guinea pig 's thymus naturally atrophies as the animal reaches adulthood , but the athymic hairless guinea pig ( which arose from a spontaneous laboratory mutation ) possesses no thymic tissue whatsoever , and the organ cavity is replaced with cystic spaces . Additional images ( edit ) Thymus of a fetus On chest X-ray , the thymus appears as a radiodense ( brighter in this image ) mass by the upper lobe of the child 's right ( left in image ) lung .

where is the thymus located on the body
[ "The thymus is a specialized primary lymphoid organ of the immune system. Within the thymus, T cells mature. T cells are critical to the adaptive immune system, where the body adapts specifically to foreign invaders. The thymus is composed of two identical lobes and is located anatomically in the anterior superior mediastinum, in front of the heart and behind the sternum. Histologically, each lobe of the thymus can be divided into a central medulla and a peripheral cortex which is surrounded by an outer capsule. The cortex and medulla play different roles in the development of T cells. Cells in the thymus can be divided into thymic stromal cells and cells of hematopoietic origin (derived from bone marrow resident hematopoietic stem cells). Developing T cells are referred to as thymocytes and are of hematopoietic origin. Stromal cells include epithelial cells of the thymic cortex and medulla, and dendritic cells." ]

The character is a monster which preys upon the children of Derry , Maine , roughly every twenty - seven years , using a variety of powers that include the ability to shapeshift , manipulate , and go unnoticed by adults . King stated in a 2013 interview that he came up with the idea for Pennywise after asking himself what scared children `` more than anything else in the world '' . He felt that the answer was clowns . King has also acknowledged on his website that he originally wanted the title character of It to be a troll like the one in the children 's tale `` Three Billy Goats Gruff '' , but who inhabited the local sewer system rather than just the area beneath one bridge . The character has been described as one of the scariest clowns in popular culture . The character was portrayed by Tim Curry in the 1990 television adaptation and by Bill Skarsgård in the 2017 film adaptation . Contents ( hide ) 1 Appearances 1.1 Literature 1.2 Film and television 2 Reception and legacy 2.1 2016 clown sightings 3 References 4 External links Appearances ( edit ) Literature ( edit ) In the novel , It is an eternal entity . After arriving on Earth , It would sleep for approximately 27 to 30 years at a time , then awaken to wreak chaos and feed ( primarily on children 's fear ) . It is able to take many more forms than the film adaptations depict , including werewolves , bats , leeches , and sharks . It could embody any of a child 's worst fears . It apparently originated in a void containing and surrounding the Universe , a place referred to in the novel as the `` Macroverse '' ( a concept similar to the later established `` Todash Darkness '' of the Dark Tower novels ) . At several points in the novel , It claims its true name is `` Robert Gray '' , and is named `` It '' by the group of children who later confront it . Throughout the book , It is generally referred to as male ; however , late in the book , the children come to believe It may be female ( due to It 's manifestation as a large female spider ) . In addition , upon seeing its true form Audra Denbrough says `` Oh dear Jesus , It is female . '' Despite this , the true form of It is never truly known . The final physical form It takes is that of an enormous spider , but this is the closest the human mind can understand . It 's actual form is not precisely what the children actually see . Instead , the natural form of It exists in an inter-dimensional realm referred to by It as the `` deadlights '' . Bill Denbrough comes dangerously close to seeing the deadlights , but successfully defeats It before this happens . The deadlights are never seen , and their true form outside the physical realm is never revealed , only described as writhing , destroying orange lights . Coming face to face with the deadlights drives any living being instantly insane ( a common Lovecraftian device ) . The only known person to face the deadlights and survive is Bill 's wife Audra Phillips , although she is rendered catatonic by the experience . It 's natural enemy is the `` Turtle '' , another ancient dweller of King 's `` Macroverse '' who , eons ago , created our universe and possibly others . The Turtle shows up again in King 's series The Dark Tower . The book suggests that It , along with the Turtle , are themselves creations of a separate , omnipotent creator referred to as `` The Other '' . The Turtle and It are eternal enemies ( creation versus consumption ) . It may , in fact be either a `` twinner '' of , or the actual one of the six greater demon elementals mentioned by Mia in The Dark Tower VI : Song of Susannah , as the Spider is not one of the Beam Guardians . It arrived in our world during prehistoric times in a massive , cataclysmic event similar to an asteroid impact , in the place that would , in time , become Derry , Maine . Throughout the novel It , some events are described through It 's point of view , through which It describes itself as the `` superior '' being , with the Turtle as someone `` close to his superiority '' and humans as mere `` toys '' . It explains it prefers to kill and devour children , not by nature , but rather because children 's fears are easier to interpret in a physical form and thus children are easier to fill with terror . It says this is akin to `` salting the meat . '' It is continually surprised by the children 's victories over It , and near the end , It begins to question if It is not as superior as It had once thought . However , It never feels that the individual children are strong enough to defeat It , only through `` the Other '' working through them as a group . In the novel , It begins terrorizing a group of children in Derry , Maine , taking the form of a demonic clown called Pennywise . It intends to devour all of them one by one , but the children finally stand up to it and drive it back into its hiding place . It reappears 27 years later to confront the now - grown children , who face It in a final battle that results in It revealing It 's true form : a giant , monstrous spider . In the novel 's climax , the group finally confronts their fears and destroy It . Film and television ( edit ) The 1990 adaptation of the character portrayed by Tim Curry In the 1990 miniseries , Pennywise is portrayed by English actor Tim Curry , whose performance was praised by critics . In the 2017 film adaptation , Pennywise is portrayed by Swedish actor Bill Skarsgård . Will Poulter was originally cast as Pennywise , with Curry describing the role as a `` wonderful part '' and wishing Poulter the best of luck . Poulter later dropped out of the production due to scheduling conflicts , as well as original director Cary Fukunaga leaving the project . On June 3 , 2016 , it was announced the role had been recast with Skarsgård . Spanish actor Javier Botet was cast as the Leper . Two original guises are made for the film : the Headless Boy , a burnt victim of the Kitchener Ironworks incident ( played by Carter Musselman ) , and the Amedeo Modigliani - based painting Judith ( played by Tatum Lee ) . Reception and legacy ( edit ) Several media outlets such as The Guardian have spoken of the character , ranking it as one of the scariest clowns in film or pop culture . The Atlantic said of the character ; `` the scariest thing about Pennywise , though , is how he preys on children 's deepest fears , manifesting the monsters they 're most petrified by ( something J.K. Rowling would later emulate with boggarts ) . '' British scholar Mikita Brottman has also said of Pennywise ; `` one of the most frightening of evil clowns to appear on the small screen '' and that it `` reflects every social and familial horror known to contemporary America '' . Critics such as Mark Dery have drawn connections between the character of Pennywise and serial killer John Wayne Gacy , who would dress up at community children 's parties as `` Pogo the Clown '' ; Dery has stated that the character `` ( embodied ) our primal fears in a sociopathic Ronald McDonald who oozes honeyed guile '' . On his website , however , King makes no mention of Gacy in discussing his inspiration . The American punk rock band Pennywise took its name from the character . 2016 clown sightings ( edit ) `` I suspect it 's a kind of low - level hysteria , like Slender Man , or the so - called Bunny Man , who purportedly lurked in Fairfax County , Virginia , wearing a white hood with long ears and attacking people with a hatchet or an axe . The clown furor will pass , as these things do , but it will come back , because under the right circumstances , clowns really can be terrifying . '' -- Writer Stephen King 's reaction to the recurring clown scare phenomenon . The character has also been cited as a possible inspiration for two separate incidents of people dressing up as creepy clowns in Northampton , England and Staten Island , New York . In 2016 , several reports of random appearances by `` evil clowns '' were reported by the media , including seven people in Alabama charged with `` clown - related activity '' . Several newspaper reports cited the character of Pennywise as an influence for the outbreak , which led to King commenting that people should lower hysteria caused by the sightings and not take his work seriously . The first reported sighting of people dressed as evil clowns was in Greenville , South Carolina , where a small boy spoke to his mother of a pair of clowns that had attempted to lure him away . After such an incident , a number of clowns have since been spotted in various American states including Florida , New York , Wisconsin and Kentucky , and subsequently in other Western countries , from August 2016 . By October 2016 , in the wake of hundreds of `` clown sightings '' across the United States and Canada , the phenomenon had spread from North America to Europe , Australasia and Latin America . Some explanations for the 2016 clown sightings phenomenon hypothesize that at least some of the sightings are part of a viral marketing campaign , possibly for the Rob Zombie film 31 ( 2016 ) . Greenville police chief Ken Miller claimed to reporters that investigators are unsure as to whether the sightings have any connection with Zombie 's 31 , whether it was one or more people looking for `` kicks '' , or something more sinister . A spokesperson for New Line Cinema ( distributor of the 2017 film adaptation ) released a statement claiming that `` New Line is absolutely not involved in the rash of clown sightings .

Grey 's Anatomy is an American medical drama television series that premiered on March 27 , 2005 , on American Broadcasting Company ( ABC ) as a mid-season replacement . The fictional series focuses on the lives of surgical interns , residents , and attending physicians , as they develop into seasoned doctors while trying to maintain personal lives and relationships . The title is a play on Gray 's Anatomy , a classic human anatomy textbook first published in 1858 in London and written by Henry Gray . Shonda Rhimes developed the pilot and continues to write for the series ; she is also one of the executive producers , along with Betsy Beers , Mark Gordon , Krista Vernoff , Rob Corn , Mark Wilding , and Allan Heinberg . Although the series is set in Seattle ( at the fictional Seattle Grace , later known as the Grey - Sloan Memorial Hospital ) , it is filmed primarily in Los Angeles , California . The series was designed to be racially diverse and used color - blind casting . It revolves around the title character , Dr. Meredith Grey , played by Ellen Pompeo , first featured as an intern . The original cast consisted of nine star - billed actors : Pompeo , Sandra Oh , Katherine Heigl , Justin Chambers , T.R. Knight , Chandra Wilson , James Pickens Jr. , Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey . The cast has undergone major changes through the series ' run , with many members leaving and being replaced by others . In its twelfth season , the show had a large ensemble of sixteen actors , including four characters from the original cast ( Meredith Grey , Alex Karev , Miranda Bailey , and Richard Webber ) . On February 10 , 2017 , ABC renewed Grey 's Anatomy for a fourteenth season , which premiered on September 28 , 2017 . The series ' success catapulted such long - running cast members as Pompeo , Dempsey , and Oh to worldwide recognition ; they were among the top five highest - earning television actors in 2013 . While the show 's ratings have fallen over the course of its run ( it was once among the overall top 10 shows in the United States ) , it is still one of the highest - rated shows among the 18 -- 49 demographic , and the No. 3 drama on all of broadcast television . The series was the highest revenue - earning show on television , in terms of advertising , in the 2007 - 08 season ; in 2017 , it was ranked tenth on the list . Grey 's Anatomy ranks as ABC 's highest - rated drama in its fourteenth season . Grey 's Anatomy has been well received by critics throughout much of its run , and has been included in various critics ' year - end top ten lists . Since its inception , the show has been described by the media outlets as a television `` phenomenon '' or a `` juggernaut '' , owing to its longevity and dominant ratings . It is considered to have had a significant effect on popular culture and has received numerous awards , including the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series -- Drama . It has received thirty - eight Primetime Emmy Award nominations , including two for Outstanding Drama Series . The cast members have also received several accolades for their respective performances .

During her time as a resident , Grey works alongside her fellow doctors Cristina Yang ( Sandra Oh ) , Izzie Stevens ( Katherine Heigl ) , Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ) , and George O'Malley ( T.R. Knight ) , who each struggle to balance personal lives with the hectic work and training schedules . They are overseen during their internship by Miranda Bailey ( Chandra Wilson ) , a senior resident who works for attending Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) , the head of neurosurgery and Meredith 's love interest ; Preston Burke ( Isaiah Washington ) , the head of cardio , who becomes Yang 's fiancé ; and Richard Webber ( James Pickens , Jr . ) , the Chief of Surgery and attending general surgeon , and lover of Ellis Grey decades before . In the sixth season , these residents are joined by Jackson Avery ( Jesse Williams ) and April Kepner ( Sarah Drew ) , former Mercy - West residents who join Seattle Grace following an administrative merger .

In addition to Webber , Burke , and Shepherd , the surgical wing is primarily supervised by Addison Montgomery ( Kate Walsh ) , as head of OB / GYN , neonatal , and fetal surgery ; Callie Torres ( Sara Ramirez ) , a resident who later becomes head of orthopedic surgery , who left Seattle at the end of the twelfth season ; Mark Sloan ( Eric Dane ) , as head of plastics ; Owen Hunt ( Kevin McKidd ) , as head of trauma ; Arizona Robbins ( Jessica Capshaw ) , as head of pediatric surgery , and later head of fetal surgery ; Erica Hahn ( Brooke Smith ) , as head of cardio ; Teddy Altman ( Kim Raver ) , as head of cardio ; and Amelia Shepherd ( Caterina Scorsone ) , Derek 's sister , who is hired to replace him as head of neuro .

In Season twelve attending cardio surgeon Nathan Riggs ( Martin Henderson ) joins the show . In season thirteen , the hospital sees a shakeup when attending sports medicine / orthopedic surgeon Eliza Minnick ( Marika Dominczyk ) is hired as an educational consultant to revamp the residency program . She is fired following an explosion at the hospital . Production and development ( edit ) Conception ( edit ) Shonda Rhimes wanted to make a show that she would enjoy watching , and thought it would be interesting to create a show about `` smart women competing against one another '' . When asked how she decided to develop a medical drama , Rhimes responded : `` I was obsessed with the surgery channels . ( ... ) My sisters and I would call each other up and talk about operations we 'd seen on the Discovery Channel . There 's something fascinating about the medical world -- you see things you 'd never imagine , like the fact that doctors talk about their boyfriends or their day while they 're cutting somebody open . So when ABC asked me to write another pilot , the ( operating room ) seemed like the natural setting . '' The series was pitched to ABC Entertainment , who gave the green light . The show was picked up as a mid-season replacement for Boston Legal in the 2005 television season . Francie Calfo , executive vice president of development at ABC Entertainment , commented that ABC was looking for a medical show that was unlike the others airing at the time . She pointed out that `` ( m ) edical shows are hard , and it was hard trying to figure out where ours could be different . But where everybody else is speeding up their medical shows , ( Rhimes ) found a way to slow it down , so you get to know the characters . There 's definitely a strong female appeal to it . '' `` ER is high - speed medicine . The camera flies around , adrenaline is rushing . My show is more personal . The idea for the series began when a doctor told me it was incredibly hard to shave her legs in the hospital shower . At first that seemed like a silly detail . But then I thought about the fact that it was the only time and place this woman might have to shave her legs . That 's how hard the work is . '' -- Rhimes on the creation of Grey 's Anatomy Rhimes initially conceived Grey 's Anatomy as a statement against racism . She worked to create a show featuring a racially diverse cast that allowed viewers to relate to characters regardless of race . While creating characters , as well as writing the first script , the series ' writers had no character descriptions in mind , and hoped to cast the best actor available for each part . Rhimes has said that if the network had not allowed to create characters this way , she would have been hesitant about moving forward with the series . Female roles in particular were developed as multi-faceted characters . Rhimes offered her insight on this , `` I wanted to create a world in which you felt as if you were watching very real women . Most of the women I saw on TV did n't seem like people I actually knew . They felt like ideas of what women are . They never got to be nasty or competitive or hungry or angry . They were often just the loving wife or the nice friend . But who gets to be the bitch ? Who gets to be the three - dimensional woman ? '' The show 's title , Grey 's Anatomy , was devised as a play on words : a reference to both Henry Gray 's classic English medical textbook , Gray 's Anatomy ( first published in 1858 and still in print ) , and the title character Dr. Meredith Grey ( Ellen Pompeo ) . Before the series debuted on March 27 , 2005 , a few early releases were shown to close friends and family of the producers and actors . The show was scheduled to run in the Boston Legal time slot for four weeks . But its high ratings and viewership resulted in ABC keeping it in that slot for the remainder of the season . ABC Entertainment President , Steve McPherson , commented on the scheduling change : `` Ultimately we decided that , without having adequate lead time or marketing dollars to devote to moving either show so late in the season , we 'd continue to let ( Grey 's Anatomy ) build on its tremendous momentum through May . '' Prior to broadcast , it was announced that the show 's title would be changed from Grey 's Anatomy to Complications , although this did not take place . Production team ( edit ) Grey 's Anatomy is produced by ShondaLand , in association with The Mark Gordon Company , and ABC Studios ( formerly Touchstone Television ) . Rhimes , Betsy Beers , Krista Vernoff , Mark Gordon , Rob Corn , and Mark Wilding have all served as executive producers throughout the course of the series . In subsequent seasons , Steve Mulholland , Kent Hodder , Nancy Bordson , James D. Parriott , and Peter Horton have also been executive producers , with Allan Heinberg joining the show in 2006 in this role . As of season eight , the executive producers were Rhimes , Beers , Gordon , Vernoff , Corn , Wilding , and Heinberg . Rhimes is the series head writer , or its most prolific writer . She often promotes the show by answering fan questions on her Twitter account . Other members of the writing staff are Vernoff , Wilding , Peter Nowalk , Stacy McKee , William Harper , Zoanne Clack , Tony Phelan , Joan Rater , and Debora Cahn . From the second through seventh seasons , the writers maintained a blog entitled Grey Matter , where the writer of an episode discussed background of the writing . Directors vary by episode , with Rob Corn directing most frequently , followed by Tom Verica . Horton , Edward Ornelas , and Jessica Yu have also directed a substantial number of episodes . Cast members Chandra Wilson and Kevin McKidd have both directed multiple episodes . Grey 's Anatomy has been edited by Susan Vaill since the show 's inception , and David Greenspan was named an editor in 2006 . Casting directors Linda Lowy and John Brace have been a part of the production team since 2005 . Production design is led by Donald Lee Harris , assisted by art director Brian Harms , and costume design is led by Mimi Melgaard . Working alongside Melgaard , Thomas Houchins supervises costumes , Ellen Vieira is the makeup artist , and Jerilynn Stevens serves as a hair stylist . The Director of Photography is Herbert Davis . The music coordinator is Danny Lux . Karen Lisa Pike , M.D. is the on - set medical consultant , alongside Linda Klein , an RN . The production staff is part of a Grey 's Anatomy softball team that competes against other television shows , such as CSI : Crime Scene Investigation . Casting ( edit ) Main article : List of Grey 's Anatomy cast members `` 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 . '' -- Rhimes on Oh 's audition Grey 's Anatomy used a color - blind casting technique , resulting in a racially diverse ensemble . Each role was cast without the character 's race being pre-determined , keeping Rhimes ' vision of diversity . The production staff began casting with the program 's title character , Meredith Grey , which Rhimes said was a difficult role to cast . `` I kept saying we need a girl like that girl from Moonlight Mile , '' said Rhimes , `` and after a while , they were like , ' We think we can get that girl from Moonlight Mile . '' The next to be cast , Sandra Oh ( Dr. Cristina Yang ) , was initially invited to audition for the character of Bailey , but pressed to read for the role of Cristina instead . Many actors read for the role of Dr. Derek Shepherd , but when Patrick Dempsey read for the part , `` he was just perfect '' , according to Rhimes . The only character developed with a racial description in mind was Dr. Miranda Bailey , who is portrayed by Chandra Wilson . Her character was first described as a tiny blonde with curly hair , but when Wilson began speaking , Rhimes reported : `` ( Wilson ) is exactly who Miranda is . '' James Pickens Jr. was selected to appear as Dr. Richard Webber in the series ' pilot and first season . Katherine Heigl wanted to portray Dr. Izzie Stevens as a brunette , but was requested to retain her natural blonde for the part . Isaiah Washington , who portrayed Dr. Preston Burke , initially read for the role of Shepherd , but was cast as Burke , because the original actor to play Burke had to withdraw . T.R. Knight signed on for the pilot as Dr. George O'Malley , expecting that the role might be short - lived , because he liked that the character was multi-faceted . Rounding out the season one cast was Justin Chambers as Dr. Alex Karev . Eric Dane originally auditioned for the pilot episode of Grey 's Anatomy , but did not receive a role . The second season marked the introduction of attending doctors Mark Sloan ( Eric Dane ) and Callie Torres ( Sara Ramirez ) . They were initially cast as recurring characters , but both were given star billing at the opening of the third season . Ramirez was cast after ABC executives offered her a role in the network show of her choice ; Dane had previously auditioned unsuccessfully for a role in the pilot episode . Dr. Addison Montgomery ( Kate Walsh ) also joined the show in season two , after making a guest appearance in season one . In October 2006 , Washington allegedly insulted Knight with a homophobic slur , during an on - set altercation with Dempsey , and ABC terminated Washington 's contract at the end of the third season . Washington returned for a guest appearance in season 10 . At the conclusion of the third season , Walsh departed the show to pursue the Grey 's Anatomy spin - off , Private Practice , but continues to make guest appearances . Chyler Leigh joined the cast as a main character in the fourth season as Dr. Lexie Grey , Meredith 's half - sister . Leigh had appeared as a guest star in the final two episodes of the third season . On the selection of Leigh for the role of Lexie , Rhimes said : `` Chyler stood out ... It felt like she could be Meredith 's sister , but she had a depth that was very interesting . '' Dr. Erica Hahn ( Brooke Smith ) , who first appeared on Grey 's Anatomy in the second season , returned as a series regular in the fourth season . Shortly after the announcement that Smith would be a regular member of the cast , Entertainment Weekly 's Michael Ausiello , reported that her character , Hahn , would depart from Grey 's Anatomy on November 6 , 2008 . E ! Online 's Kristin Dos Santos asserted that Smith 's dismissal from the show had been forced by the ABC network , as part of an attempt to `` de-gay '' Grey 's Anatomy . Rhimes countered these claims , saying that `` we did not find that the magic and chemistry with Brooke 's character would sustain in the long run '' . Season five introduced actor Kevin McKidd ( Dr. Owen Hunt ) , who was signed as a series regular after originally being cast for a specific story arc . In addition , Jessica Capshaw ( Dr. Arizona Robbins ) was originally introduced for a three - episode arc , but received a contract extension until the end of the season ; and then was made a series regular in the sixth season . Knight departed the show at the conclusion of season five , citing an unhappiness with the development and lack of screen time for his character . Directly following Knight 's departure , Entertainment Weekly reported that Heigl had not returned to the set as scheduled after her maternity leave . It was later confirmed that Heigl would not return to the show at all . Kim Raver , who was cast as recurring character Dr. Teddy Altman in the sixth season , was given star billing later in the season . Sarah Drew ( Dr. April Kepner ) and Jesse Williams ( Dr. Jackson Avery ) , who both made their series debuts as recurring characters in the sixth season , and received star billing in the seventh . The six original actors ' contracts expired after season eight , but in May 2012 , Pompeo , Oh , Dempsey , Chambers , Wilson , and Pickens renewed their contracts with the show for another two years . At the conclusion of the eighth season , Leigh 's character Lexie Grey departed from the show at Leigh 's request , and with Rhimes ' agreement . Raver 's character Teddy Altman was also written out of the show during the season eight finale . Rhimes said that Raver had been offered a contract renewal , but declined . In July 2012 , Dane ( Sloan ) confirmed that he was departing the show to pursue other projects ; he made his final appearances in the first two episodes of the ninth season . With the start of season 10 , Camilla Luddington , Jerrika Hinton , Gaius Charles and Tessa Ferrer were introduced to the show as series regulars . They were first introduced to the show in season 9 as new interns . On August 13 , 2013 , Oh ( Cristina ) announced that the show 's tenth season would be her final one . In March 2014 it was announced that Isaiah Washington , who portrayed Preston Burke in the first three seasons of the show , would make a guest appearance to coincide with the departure of series regular Sandra Oh , his former on - screen love interest . Neither Charles ' nor Ferrer 's contracts were renewed for season 11 . On May 2 , 2014 it was announced that , in addition to Pompeo and Dempsey , all original remaining cast members -- aside from Sandra Oh -- signed two - year deals , extending their contracts through seasons 11 and 12 . Despite joining the series in its second season , Sara Ramirez is on the same negotiation schedule as the first - season cast and also signed a new two - year deal . On Wednesday , January 17 , 2018 , it was announced by ABC that Ellen Pompeo 's contract had been renewed through season 16 . Not only does the contract renewal insure that Pompeo will return as Meredith Grey , but it makes her a producer of Grey 's Anatomy and a co-executive producer of Station 19 . The deal will make Pompeo the highest paid actress currently on a dramatic TV series , with her making $575,000 per episode and over $20 million yearly . Filming locations and technique ( edit ) The Space Needle , in Seattle , is the background to many exterior shots . Rhimes considered setting the medical drama in her hometown , Chicago , but eventually decided to go with Seattle , to distinguish Grey 's Anatomy from the Chicago -- based ER . Fisher Plaza , which is the headquarters building of the former Fisher Communications ( since merged into Sinclair Broadcasting Group ) and SBG 's ABC affiliated KOMO radio and television stations in Seattle , is used for some exterior shots of Grey - Sloan Memorial Hospital . In particular , air ambulances land on the KOMO - TV newscopter 's helipad . This suggests the hospital is close to the Space Needle ( which is directly across the street from Fisher Plaza ) , the Seattle Monorail , and other local landmarks . But , the hospital used for most other exterior and a few interior shots is not in Seattle ; these scenes are shot at the VA Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center in North Hills , California , and occasional shots from an interior walkway above the lobby show dry California mountains in the distance . The exterior of Meredith Grey 's house , also known as the Intern House , is real . In the show , the address of Grey 's home is 613 Harper Lane , but this is not an actual address . The physical house is located at 303 W. Comstock St. , on Queen Anne Hill , Seattle , Washington . Most scenes are taped at Prospect Studios in Los Feliz , just east of Hollywood , where the Grey 's Anatomy set occupies six sound stages . Some outside scenes are shot at the Warren G. Magnuson Park in Seattle . Several props used are working medical equipment , including the MRI machine . When asked about operating room scenes , Sarah Drew offered this : We work with Bovine organs , which is cow 's organs . The smell is repulsive and makes us all gag . And we use an actual soldering tool to solder the organs . It smells like burning flesh . There 's also a lot of silicone and blood matter , red jello mixed with blood and chicken fat . It 's pretty gross . Costumes are used to differentiate between attending surgeons , who wear navy blue scrubs , and residents , who wear light blue scrubs . The series is filmed with a single - camera setup , as are many dramas . Grey 's Anatomy is often filmed using the `` walk and talk '' filming technique , popularized on television by series such as St. Elsewhere , ER , and The West Wing . Series synopsis ( edit ) Overview ( edit ) Title screen Grey 's Anatomy follows the lives of surgical interns and residents at the fictional Grey - Sloan Memorial Hospital ( formerly Seattle Grace Hospital , Season 1 -- 6 , Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital , Season 6 -- 9 , and then Grey - Sloan Memorial Hospital , Season 9 -- present ) , as they gradually develop as seasoned doctors , with the help of their competent attending mentors and chief of surgery . Each installment , typically , begins with a voice - over narrative from Meredith Grey or a season regular , foreshadowing the theme of the episode . Each season tends to represent the physicians ' academic year , with each completed year qualifying the residents at a level higher in the surgical field . The season will always end with a finale , typically related to a dramatic event such as a death or character departure . Most installments revolve around the doctors ' everyday lives as surgeons , but the show also emphasizes their personal , rather than professional , lives . The series sets aside medical ethic concerns to focus on character development and relationships . Although the physicians treat the illnesses of their patients , often through complex surgeries , they display competitive spirit and seek praise . After arriving at the hospital each morning , residents may argue over who gets the challenge of a certain patient who has arrived that day . A hospital superior assigns cases , often generating tension between the residents and their superiors . Within each episode are shifts from the doctors interacting with their patients , to scenes with their co-workers . Once assigned a case , each doctor diagnoses the patient , with the help of his or her attending physician , which usually leads to surgery . The surgeons tend to form personal connections with their patients , with a patient often conveying a message to his or her doctor , which unintentionally relates to the doctor 's private life . The show displays the growth of relationships between the doctors , either friendly or sexual , which may produce conflicts between their personal and professional lives . Emotional scenes are often accompanied by an indie rock background song , something that has become a hallmark of the series . At the conclusion of each episode , one of the characters delivers another voice - over , typically contrasting or following up on the initial one .

The five characters who are first introduced in the series premiere , as surgical interns , are Grey , Karev , O'Malley , Stevens , and Yang . They are initially mentored by Bailey , a senior resident who becomes the hospital 's Chief Resident , and later an attending general surgeon , in season six . The surgical program is initially headed by the Chief of Surgery , Richard Webber , who has a pre-existing personal relationship with Meredith , having had an affair with her mother when Meredith was a child .

The penultimate episode of season three introduces Lexie Grey , Meredith 's half - sister who unexpectedly decides to pursue her internship at Seattle Grace Hospital after her mother 's sudden death , and begins an on - again , off - again relationship with Sloan . Burke and Yang , having been engaged , endeavor to plan their wedding , while Montgomery departs the show at the conclusion of the third season , relocating to California , seeking a new life . The season three finale shows Burke 's exit from the show , after leaving Yang at the altar on their wedding day . The original lead characters of Grey 's Anatomy Grey , Yang , Karev , and Stevens are all promoted to residents , in the season four premiere , while O'Malley is forced to repeat his internship year , following his failing of the intern exam . Subsequently , Torres and O'Malley divorce one another , due to him having a sexual affair with Stevens , initially concealing it from Torres . Early in the fourth season , cardiothoracic surgeon Erica Hahn becomes Torres ' love interest . During the fifth season , Hahn departs from the series , and O'Malley retakes his intern exam , passing , joining his fellow physicians as a resident . Two new characters are introduced , former United States Army trauma surgeon Dr. Owen Hunt , and pediatric surgeon Dr. Arizona Robbins . Hunt becomes a love - interest for Yang , while Robbins becomes a love - interest for Torres . When Stevens is diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma , she and Karev get married at the conclusion of the fifth season . In addition , Meredith and Shepherd marry , with their vows written on a post-it note . O'Malley dies in the premiere of the sixth season , due to injuries sustained from being hit by a bus , and Stevens later departs Seattle after being diagnosed with cancer and following a lack of communication between her then husband Karev following the Seattle Grace merger with Mercy West . Several new characters are introduced as Seattle Grace Hospital merges with Mercy West . Residents April Kepner and Jackson Avery both transfer to Seattle Grace Hospital from Mercy West , and the latter entertains a brief relationship with Lexie Grey , until she reunites with Mark Sloan . Subsequently , Teddy Altman is introduced as the new Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery . In the season six finale , a deceased patient 's grieving husband embarks on a shooting spree at the hospital , injuring Karev , Shepherd , and Hunt , and killing residents Charles Percy and Reed Adamson . In the shooting 's emotional reverberations , Hunt and Yang abruptly marry , not wanting to risk separation . Torres and Robbins eventually wed , officiated by Bailey . In season eight , Webber steps down and allocates his job to Hunt . As the final year of residency for Meredith , Yang , Karev , Avery , and Kepner is coming to a close , the doctors are all planning to relocate to different hospitals to pursue their specialty careers . However , all plans are put on hold when several doctors from Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital are engaged in a plane crash , which kills Lexie and endangers Meredith , Shepherd , Yang , Robbins , and Sloan . At the conclusion of the eighth season , Altman is courteously fired by Hunt as she struggles to decide whether or not to take the job as Chief at the United States Army Medical Command ( MEDCOM ) . In the season nine premiere , Sloan dies due to sustained injuries from the plane crash following a brief relapse of temporary health ( the surge ) and the remaining characters work through their post traumatic stress and Arizona Robbins ' loss of limb by way of suing Seattle Grace Mercy West as the hospital was responsible for putting the surgeons on the plane . The season continues with the struggle of the lawsuit and the animosity that it creates within the hospital , Yang and Hunt eventually divorce in order to help the lawsuit . The doctors who were on the plane won the lawsuit , but the pay out bankrupts the hospital . They all club together and buy Seattle Grace Mercy West , with the help of the Harper Avery Foundation , and they become the Board of Directors , once being called the `` Grey - Sloan 7 '' . One of the changes they implement is renaming the hospital to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital . Robbins cheats on Torres with a visiting facial reconstruction surgeon . Grey 's Anatomy then concluded its 10th season on ABC and saw the departure of one of its major players , Cristina Yang , played by Sandra Oh .

Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) `` Grey 's Anatomy offers a different and perhaps more valuable idea of what it means to be strong : the capacity to suffer terribly , break down completely , and then get up again , confident that you 're bigger than the sum of the tragedies you 've suffered -- because everyone else is , too . The layers of history have grown pretty dense and rich , and the friendships that form around them as the characters suffer and survive is the glue of the series , and what -- despite a few inevitable hit - or - miss patches -- elevates it to something special . '' - Laura Hudson of Wired Grey 's Anatomy has been well received among critics . The show holds an average of 72 % positive score on Rotten Tomatoes . The A.V. Club gave an insight on both the overwhelming success and lows in the quality of the hit medical drama saying , `` The quality arc for the show is all over the place , starting with a steady build in the first season , then skyrocketing into phenomenon in season two , then leveling off and dipping in season three , before having some seriously bumpy moments in seasons four ( interrupted by the writers ' strike ) and five . The climb begins again in season six '' Samantha Highfill of Entertainment Weekly in a review wrote , `` I believe the show 's best season to date is season 2 . Let me make it clear that I 'm not saying seasons 3 through 9 were bad . In my opinion , there have only been a few lulls in the show 's history , and most of them did n't last a full season . '' adding , `` I still enjoy the show , and I 'll honestly never stop watching . By any standards , Grey 's Anatomy has been successful television , ranking highly in the ratings for nine seasons and entering the cultural lexicon via phrases as cloying yet catchy as `` McDreamy . '' , the show has had its periods of being intensely irritating , and it has had its periods when it seems as if Shonda Rhimes has taken leave of her faculties , but it 's also got an amazingly high batting average , particularly with every solid season that passes along in this second act of its run . '' The site lauded the show saying , `` On average , it 's been very good TV , filled with interesting , driven characters who run the gamut of professions within the show 's hospital setting . It 's been , by turns , a good soap , a good romantic comedy , a good medical drama , and a good interpersonal show about an unexpected workplace family . '' The first season received positive reviews which steadily built up , with Gary Levin of USA Today calling Grey 's Anatomy one of the top shows on television . New York Daily News named Grey 's Anatomy a `` winner '' , whereas Newsday expressed a positive opinion by stating `` You simply ca n't stop watching . '' The Washington Post 's Tom Shales was critical of season one , finding it reminiscent of ER and commenting that : `` The show is much more a matter of commercial calculation than an honest attempt to try something fresh and different . '' Shortly after its initial airing , the Chicago Tribune 's Maureen Ryan called Grey 's Anatomy the new Friends ; a concluded National Broadcasting Company ( NBC ) sitcom following the lives of a group of young adults , that all of its ten - year run in the top - five for viewer ratings . The second season received critical acclaim , top critics like Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club called the show a `` phenomenon '' , adding the show was , `` one of the best TV shows around '' , Samantha Highfill of Entertainment Weekly later during the tenth season called the second `` the show 's best season to date '' however , Kevin Carr of 7M Pictures opined that Grey 's Anatomy is a mere combination of Scrubs , ER , Sex and the City , and The Love Boat . It further garnered positive reviews , Christopher Monfette of IGN Entertainment added : `` The second season of this medical drama expertly wove its signature elements of complex relationships , whimsical banter and challenging life - lessons ; all to a montage - fetish , indie - rock soundtrack . '' Todd Gilchrist also from IGN called the season `` terrific '' adding , `` Indeed , one of the best currently on television . While it remains to be seen what the creators do with it , now that it 's become an outright event program , the season demonstrates that Rhimes and co . know what to do with the opportunities presented them . whether you 're male or female , this is the kind of entertainment that small - screen devotees and folks fed up with television need to see . '' Ellen Pompeo has failed to garner a nomination at the Emmy Awards on multiple occasions . The title character of Grey 's Anatomy , Meredith , has received both overwhelmingly positive and weary feedback by critics along the course of the show , with the development of the character garnering praise from majority critics . Earlier reactions for Meredith were mixed ; in a 2006 review , Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times dubbed to her as `` the heroine of Grey 's Anatomy '' . A reviewer for BuddyTV praised the distinct uniqueness in the character calling Meredith an `` unconventional heroine '' adding that the character was , `` Neither black nor white but always ... wait for it ... many shades of grey . The reviewer and to add that even in her lighter moments , she has still been `` dark and twisty . '' The sentiment was shared by Glenn Diaz who remarked , `` You got ta love Mer when she 's gloomy . '' When Pompeo did not receive a nomination 61st Primetime Emmy Awards , for her work as Meredith , Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times suggested that Pompeo , `` has worked very hard ( ... ) to make Meredith Grey an interesting character '' , and should have received a nomination . IGN 's Monfette , less impressed by the character , criticized her storyline as `` some bizarrely under - developed sub-plot about depression and giving Derek a season 's worth of reconsidering to do . '' Robert Rorke of the New York Post was critical of Meredith 's relationship with Derek Shepherd , writing : `` She used to be the queen of the romantic dilemmas , but lately , she 's been a little dopey , what with the endless ' McDreamy ' soliloquies . '' The development of the character has received praise from critics . Reviewing the first part of the eighth season , TV Fanatic wrote : `` this season belongs to Meredith Grey . She is the heart and soul of the show and has been outstanding . This is a character that used to be so dark and twisty and has now grown into a more mature woman . Ellen Pompeo has been at the top of her game this season . '' Rick Porter reviewing the episode How to Save a Life from the eleventh season for Zap2it wrote , `` Without Meredith , and without one of Pompeo 's strongest performances in her long time on the show , `` How to Save a Life '' would have run the risk of coming across as a baldly manipulative death episode , the likes of which the show has done several times before . He added . `` How to Save a Life '' may not be the ideal Emmy - submission episode for Ellen Pompeo , considering Meredith is off screen for more than half of it . But it 's among the best work she 's ever done on the show . '' Janalen Samson of BuddyTV lauded the Meredith 's development throughout the series saying , `` When one considers how this character has grown over eleven seasons , it really is amazing . Kudos to Ellen Pompeo for her fine work . She 's actually done the impossible , because I actually care what happens to Meredith Grey . '' Reviewing the season 12 premiere , `` Sledgehammer '' , critics including Alex Hawkins of the Western Gazette again highlighted Pompeo 's being due for an Emmy Award . The majority of the supporting cast of Grey 's Anatomy have been well received as well , with the New York Post 's Rorke deeming Stevens to be `` the heart and soul '' of Grey 's Anatomy , whereas Eyder Peralta of the Houston Chronicle was critical of her character development , stating : `` ( She 's ) the reason I do n't watch Grey 's Anatomy anymore . '' Kelli Catana of The Huffington Post named Yang `` the best damn character '' and deemed `` the Meredith / Yang relationship the most true friendship on network television . '' Television Without Pity writer Lauren Shotwell claimed Yang is `` the only one of these five ( residents ) that regularly acts like an actual doctor '' . Analyzing Alex Karev , Rachel Simon called him `` underrated '' , and she pointed out that his personal growth never seems to get acknowledged , as `` Alex has evolved , slowly and realistically , into a genuinely good person whose faults do n't miraculously disappear , but take a backseat to much better qualities . '' Robert Bianco of USA Today said Dempsey has a `` seemingly effortless way of humanizing Derek 's ' dreamy ' appeal with ego and vanity '' . His friendship with Mark Sloan has been well received . Victor Balta said `` they 've demonstrated an easy chemistry that makes for some of the great comic relief around Seattle Grace Hospital . '' Addison Montgomery was deemed `` sassy and bright and interesting . '' TV Guide said of Walsh 's stint on Grey 's Anatomy that she `` adds spice to an already hot show . '' Callie Torres , after having previously received mixed views , was praised for her bisexual storyline . Critics added that the character was anchored by stellar performances by Sara Ramirez . Lexie Grey , having initially been criticized , became a critics ' favorite in the series . Keen of The Trades wrote that Chyler Leigh `` does a fantastic job of making the progression feel seamless . Lexie steals the show as one of the best characters on the series . '' With the departure of several cast members throughout the seasons , many new characters were added to the drama 's ensemble . McKidd and Capshaw were referred to as `` fresh additions '' to the series , by Monfette of IGN . Matt Roush of TV Guide commented : `` Hunt / McKidd is the most encouraging thing to happen to Grey 's Anatomy in quite a while . '' Matt Mitovich of TV Guide noted that Robbins `` quickly established herself as a fan favorite '' , describing her as `` a breath of fresh air in the often angsty halls of Seattle Grace . On April Kepner and Jackson Avery Courtney Morrison of TVFanatic wrote , `` April has grown since her character was introduced ... she 's honest . A girl with principles is a girl you want to do well . '' He described her and Avery as `` a couple for whom viewers can root '' . Speaking of the new cast members , in addition to the remaining original ones , Robert Bianco from USA Today called them the show 's `` best ensemble in years '' . Regarding season three , Bill Carter of The New York Times called Grey 's Anatomy `` television 's hottest show '' , adding : `` ( No show ) is expected to challenge Grey 's Anatomy for prime - time pre-eminence . '' Contrasting with Carter 's view , Monfette of IGN said that it speedily found itself `` mired in the annoying and absurd '' , adding : `` This third season may very well represent a case of over-writing a concept that has , perhaps tragically , run bone - dry on narrative fuel . '' At the conclusion of season three , Entertainment Weekly 's Gregory Kirschling said `` the show lacked a defining happy , warm - gooseflesh moment '' , adding that the season `` did n't leave you dying for the ( next ) season premiere '' . Speaking of the fourth season , Laura Burrows of IGN said the series became `` a little more than mediocre , but less than fantastic '' , adding : `` This season proved that even strong chemistry and good acting can not save a show that suffers from the inevitable recycled plot . '' In contrast to the moderately negative feedback the third and fourth seasons received , Alan Sepinwall of The Star - Ledger said of the fifth season : `` Overall , it feels more like the good old days than Grey 's Anatomy has in a long time . '' Misha Davenport from the Chicago Sun - Times said season five `` hits on all the things the show does so well '' , adding : `` There is romance , heartbreak , humor and a few moments that will move fans to tears . '' Brian Lowry of Variety , less impressed , opinionated that the season five displayed the show running out of storylines . Speaking of the sixth season , Bianco of USA Today wrote : `` Grey 's has always loved grand gestures . You like them or you do n't ; the only real question is whether the show pulls them off or it does n't . This year , it did . '' The series has a score of 66 out of 100 on Metacritic , based on five reviews for season seven . In response to the season , Bianco from USA Today commented : `` Happily , it now seems to have landed on solid ground . '' Also of the seventh season , Entertainment Weekly 's Jennifer Armstrong said : `` It 's in the shooting 's emotional reverberations that the show is regenerating after the past few hit - and - miss seasons , '' whereas Verne Gay of Newsday commented : `` Unfortunately , they 've settled on far - too - easy and facile answers for the most part . '' HitFix gave a positive review saying that , `` season 7 overall has been one of the show 's strongest ever . '' and added , `` There was a time when Grey 's Anatomy was this show where I suffered through a lot of stuff that made me cringe to get to those genius melodrama moments it could do so well . Over the last couple of years , it 's evolved into a show that 's much more consistent in tone , where it may not move me as often as it did in the early years but also very rarely makes me question my reasons for watching . '' Speaking of season eight , Entertainment Weekly 's Mandi Bierly called it a `` so - so season '' , and Lesley Goldberg of The Hollywood Reporter called it `` emotional '' . Also acknowledging the fan base Verne Gay of Newsday wrote `` Grey 's has had a good season and has an intensely loyal fan base to prove it . '' regarding the 8th season . The ninth season received more positive reviews , Rob Salem of Toronto Star called it `` a solid return to form . '' Brad Williams writing for What Culture praised the show 's development over the season saying , `` Grey 's Anatomy has developed into a fine example of how a TV show can mature beyond its initial purpose . '' calling it `` something almost anyone can watch and enjoy . '' Praising the friendship between Cristina and Meredith of Entertainment Weekly wrote , `` There 's still one good reason to keep watching : Where else can you find such deep friendships between female co-workers '' . The tenth season was also marked with praise , Annie Barrett for Entertainment Weekly wrote `` There 's true sorrow here along with the passion , which keeps their dynamic so intriguing to me . '' Caroline Siede from The A.V. Club wrote in her review for the 10th season `` At its best , Grey 's Anatomy is about everyday bravery , sacrifice , and courage . At its worst , it 's a melodramatic , moralizing soap opera . Both sides are on display as the show heads confidently into its 10th season . '' Many sources , including Rachel Simon of Bustle and Nicole Pomarico of Wetpaint , claimed that Sandra Oh 's performance during her final season on Grey 's Anatomy is worthy of an Emmy nomination . Bryce Olin of Netflix ranked Grey 's 9th among the 50 Best TV Shows on Netflix stating , `` It 's a tough call , but based on Grey 's casting choices and revolutionary portrayals of female doctors in the series , I 'm willing to argue that Grey 's Anatomy is the best medical drama of all time . Obviously , Shonda Rhimes did n't reinvent the wheel with the series , but there 's no denying its popularity . '' adding , `` I understand its significance in the pop culture sphere . '' He also stated that the show could go higher in the ranks with the upcoming season stating , `` Apparently , Grey 's Anatomy fans are passionate about their show , although it seems like they 've been closeted for the last few years . I 'd love to move Grey 's Anatomy even higher on the ranking , but I 'll have wait until the 11th season comes to Netflix . '' Critics ' top ten lists ( edit ) Critics included Grey 's Anatomy in top ten lists for five of its twelve seasons ; these are listed below in order of rank . ( hide ) 2005 No. 4 USA Today No. 6 The New York Times No. 7 The Boston Globe No. 9 San Jose Mercury News -- Chicago Tribune ( hide ) 2006 No. 2 USA Today No. 2 San Jose Mercury News No. 4 TV Guide No. 9 Orlando Sentinel ( hide ) 2007 No. 6 USA Today ( hide ) 2010 No. 10 Movieline ( hide ) 2015 No. 7 NPR Impact ( edit ) `` Grey 's Anatomy makes an impact on how people 's perception of the world is created . '' -- Brian Quick , University of Illinois Grey 's Anatomy introduced the `` mc - labeling '' surge when it dubbed Patrick Dempsey 's character `` McDreamy '' . Grey 's Anatomy has been considered an impact on culture by Entertainment Weekly 's executive editor , Lori Majewski , with her writing : `` Grey 's Anatomy is n't just a show , it 's a phenomenon . When ( the ) final shows air , every place in New York City is empty . You could get a table at the best restaurants . '' The Daily Beast 's Jace Lacob also considered the show an impact , comparing its success to that of Friends , and calling it a `` cultural phenomenon '' . Steve Sternberg , a media analyst with Magna Global USA explained that the show appeals to a broad audience , writing : `` Roughly 80 percent of households during prime time only have one TV set on . People are looking for shows they can watch with other household members . '' Grey 's Anatomy introduced a `` mc - labeling '' surge , ever since it dubbed Dempsey 's character `` McDreamy '' . Canadian newspaper the National Post considers this trend a `` phenomenon '' . Analyzing the show 's impact on culture , Dessylyn Arnold of Yahoo ! Voices noted that the `` mc - labeling '' trend has been parodied on other shows including ER and Degrassi : The Next Generation . Mark Lawson of The Guardian has credited Grey 's Anatomy with popularizing the `` songtage '' , or musical montage segments . Parodying this , MADtv created a spoof on the show in 2006 , making fun of the series ' emotional scenes including those accompanied by a musical montage . Grey 's has also been credited to helping redefine `` good '' television ; The A.V. Club writes , `` Since The Sopranos burst onto the scene , we 've too often classified a show as `` good '' based on how closely it adhered to the dark , violent , male - centric template set out by that particular show . It 's time for that to end . At its best , Grey 's has been among the very best shows on TV , and at its worst , it 's been at least fascinating to watch . To write it off is to unnecessarily narrow the definition of what good TV can be , to limit what the medium is capable of . TV is at its best when it emotionally connects , and even when it seems to be otherwise merrily hurtling off a cliff , Grey 's Anatomy is nothing but emotional connection , which is more than other , more consistently better shows can say . '' The series placed at No. 66 on Entertainment Weekly 's `` New TV Classics '' list , and was declared the third highest rated show for the first ten years of the Internet Movie Database ( 2002 -- 2012 ) . The show 's premise has inspired the creation of A Corazón Abierto , a Colombian adaptation of Grey 's Anatomy , which in turn spawned a Mexican version of the same name . A study conducted by the University of Western Sydney revealed that 94 % of 400 polled medical students are regular viewers of Grey 's Anatomy . An additional study conducted by Brian Quick of the University of Illinois indicated that the show 's portrayal of doctors being `` smart , good looking , capable , and interesting '' , leads viewers to associating real - world doctors to be that way . Surgical resident Karen Zink , M.D. , deemed the show 's portrayal of interns inaccurate , adding : `` None of ( the characters ) have bags under their eyes . They all leave the hospital dressed cute , with their hair done and makeup on . That is so far away from the reality of interns . You are just dragging your butt , trying to stay alive . You do n't have time to do your hair . You do n't have time to put on makeup . Every surgical intern has bags under their eyes . '' In 2011 , a woman residing in Sheboygan , Wisconsin became unresponsive due to an asthma attack . Unable to wait for an ambulance , her daughter and a friend performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ) on her , which they learned from Grey 's Anatomy . In 2017 an Israeli woman saved her husband by performing cardiac massage she learned from Grey 's Anatomy , The woman performed cardiac massage for 20 minutes before medical personal arrived and transferred the husband to Shaare Zedek Medical Center . The mid-season premiere of the fourteenth season was entitled `` 1 - 800 - 799 - 7233 '' , the National Domestic Violence Hotline ; upon release on January 18 , 2018 , the move was received favourably and viewers variously changed their Twitter usernames to the same and used the platform to bring awareness to both the hotline and the issue of domestic abuse .

Spin - offs ( edit ) Private Practice ( edit ) Main article : Private Practice ( TV series ) The cast of Grey 's Anatomy was displeased with the network 's decision to center the spin - off on Kate Walsh 's character . On February 21 , 2007 , The Wall Street Journal reported that ABC was pursuing a spin - off medical drama television series for Grey 's Anatomy featuring Walsh 's character , Addison Montgomery . Subsequent reports confirmed the decision , stating that an expanded two - hour broadcast of Grey 's Anatomy would serve as a backdoor pilot for the proposed spin - off . The cast of Grey 's Anatomy was reportedly unhappy about the decision , as all hoped the spin - off would have been given to them . Pompeo commented that she felt , as the star , she should have been consulted , and Heigl disclosed that she had hoped for a spin - off for Stevens . The backdoor pilot that aired on May 3 , 2007 sees Montgomery take a leave of absence from Seattle Grace Hospital , to visit her best friend from Los Angeles , Naomi Bennett ( Merrin Dungey , later Audra McDonald ) , a reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist . While in Los Angeles , she meets Bennett 's colleagues at the Oceanside Wellness Center . The two - hour broadcast entitled `` The Other Side of This Life '' served as the twenty - second and twenty - third episodes of the third season , and was directed by Michael Grossman , according to Variety . The cast included Amy Brenneman , Paul Adelstein , Tim Daly , Taye Diggs , Chris Lowell , and Merrin Dungey . KaDee Strickland 's character , Charlotte King , who would be introduced in the spin - off 's first - season premiere , did not appear in the backdoor pilot . Her addition to the main cast was announced on July 11 , 2007 , prior to the commencement of the first season . She did not have to audition for the role , but was cast after a meeting with Rhimes . Also not present in the backdoor pilot was McDonald , due to her character , Naomi Bennett , being portrayed by a different actress , Merrin Dungey . However , on June 29 , 2007 , ABC announced that Dungey would be replaced , with no reason given for the change . The drama was titled Private Practice , and its premiere episode followed the second part of the season debut of Dancing with the Stars , and provided a lead - in to fellow freshman series Dirty Sexy Money . Pushing Daisies , a third new series for the evening , rounded out the lineup as a lead - in to Private Practice . The series ended its run in January 2013 after six seasons . Grey 's Anatomy had five crossover storylines with Private Practice . `` In Which We Meet Addison , a Nice Girl From Somewhere Else '' , the series premiere , starts with Addison and Richard talking about her resignation at Seattle Grace Hospital . `` Before and After '' / `` Ex-Life '' / `` An Honest Mistake '' -- Addison 's brother Archer is brought to Seattle Grace for surgery , after which Derek asks for help with a pregnant neuro patient . `` Invasion '' / `` Right Here , Right Now '' -- After Izzie makes a mistake , causing the patient to lose out on a kidney transplant , Bailey travels to Los Angeles with her patient for the transplant . `` Blink '' / `` Another Second Chance '' -- Addison helps Mark perform an operation on his pregnant daughter . `` Have You Seen Me Lately ? '' / `` You Break My Heart '' -- Derek 's sister Amelia asks him to perform a risky gliosarcoma surgery on Erica Warner , the mother of Cooper 's son Mason .

where is the grey's anatomy set located
[ "But, the hospital used for most other exterior and a few interior shots is not in Seattle; these scenes are shot at the VA Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center in North Hills, California, and occasional shots from an interior walkway above the lobby show dry California mountains in the distance.[67] The exterior of Meredith Grey's house, also known as the Intern House, is real. In the show, the address of Grey's home is 613 Harper Lane, but this is not an actual address. The physical house is located at 303 W. Comstock St., on Queen Anne Hill, Seattle, Washington. Most scenes are taped at Prospect Studios in Los Feliz, just east of Hollywood, where the Grey's Anatomy set occupies six sound stages. Some outside scenes are shot at the Warren G. Magnuson Park in Seattle. Several props used are working medical equipment, including the MRI machine.[68]" ]

Engagements American Civil War Commanders Notable commanders George B. McClellan Ambrose Burnside Joseph Hooker George G. Meade The Army of the Potomac was the principal Union Army in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War . It was created in July 1861 shortly after the First Battle of Bull Run and was disbanded in May 1865 following the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in April . Contents 1 History 2 Famous units 2.1 Corps 3 Commanders 4 Major battles and campaigns 5 Casualties breakdown 6 Notes 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External links History ( edit ) The Army of the Potomac was created in 1861 but was then only the size of a corps ( relative to the size of Union armies later in the war ) . Its nucleus was called the Army of Northeastern Virginia , under Brig. Gen. Irvin McDowell , and it was the army that fought ( and lost ) the war 's first major battle , the First Battle of Bull Run . The arrival in Washington , D.C. , of Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan dramatically changed the makeup of that army . McClellan 's original assignment was to command the Division of the Potomac , which included the Department of Northeast Virginia under McDowell and the Department of Washington under Brig. Gen. Joseph K. Mansfield . On July 26 , 1861 , the Department of the Shenandoah , commanded by Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks , was merged with McClellan 's departments and on that day , McClellan formed the Army of the Potomac , which was composed of all military forces in the former Departments of Northeastern Virginia , Washington , Pennsylvania , and the Shenandoah . The men under Banks 's command became an infantry division in the Army of the Potomac . The army started with four corps , but these were divided during the Peninsula Campaign to produce two more . After the Second Battle of Bull Run , the Army of the Potomac absorbed the units that had served under Maj. Gen. John Pope . It is a popular , but mistaken , belief that John Pope commanded the Army of the Potomac in the summer of 1862 after McClellan 's unsuccessful Peninsula Campaign . On the contrary , Pope 's army consisted of different units , and was named the Army of Virginia . During the time that the Army of Virginia existed , the Army of the Potomac was headquartered on the Virginia Peninsula , and then outside Washington , D.C. , with McClellan still in command , although three corps of the Army of the Potomac were sent to northern Virginia and were under Pope 's operational control during the Northern Virginia Campaign . The Army of the Potomac -- Our Outlying Picket in the Woods , 1862 The Army of the Potomac underwent many structural changes during its existence . The army was divided by Ambrose Burnside into three grand divisions of two corps each with a Reserve composed of two more . Hooker abolished the grand divisions . Thereafter the individual corps , seven of which remained in Virginia , reported directly to army headquarters . Hooker also created a Cavalry Corps by combining units that previously had served as smaller formations . In late 1863 , two corps were sent West , and -- in 1864 -- the remaining five corps were recombined into three . Burnside 's IX Corps , which accompanied the army at the start of Ulysses S. Grant 's Overland Campaign , rejoined the army later . For more detail , see the section Corps below . The Army of the Potomac fought in most of the Eastern Theater campaigns , primarily in ( Eastern ) Virginia , Maryland , and Pennsylvania . After the end of the war , it was disbanded on June 28 , 1865 , shortly following its participation in the Grand Review of the Armies . The Army of the Potomac was also the name given to General P.G.T. Beauregard 's Confederate army during the early stages of the war ( namely , First Bull Run ; thus , the losing Union Army ended up adopting the name of the winning Confederate army ) . However , the name was eventually changed to the Army of Northern Virginia , which became famous under General Robert E. Lee . In 1869 the Society of the Army of the Potomac was formed as a veterans association . It had its last reunion in 1929 . Famous units ( edit ) Saint Patrick 's Day celebration in the Army of the Potomac , depicting a steeplechase race among the Irish Brigade , March 17 , 1863 , by Edwin Forbes Because of its proximity to the large cities of the North , such as Washington , D.C. , Philadelphia , and New York City , the Army of the Potomac received more contemporary media coverage than the other Union field armies . Such coverage produced fame for a number of this army 's units . Individual brigades , such as the Irish Brigade , the Philadelphia Brigade , the First New Jersey Brigade , the Vermont Brigade , and the Iron Brigade , all became well known to the general public , both during the Civil War and afterward . Corps ( edit ) Scouts and guides , Army of the Potomac , Mathew Brady The army originally consisted of fourteen divisions commanded by Edwin Sumner , William B. Franklin , Louis Blenker , Nathaniel Banks , Frederick W. Lander , Silas Casey , Irvin McDowell , Fitz - John Porter , Samuel Heintzelman , Erasmus Keyes , William F. Smith , Charles P. Stone ( replaced by John Sedgwick in February 1862 ) , and George McCall . Because this arrangement would be too hard to control in battle , President Lincoln issued an order on March 13 , 1862 , dividing the army into six corps headed by Sumner , Banks ( despite being in the Shenandoah Valley and not part of the main army ) , McDowell , Heintzelman , and Keyes , the highest - ranking officers . McClellan was not happy with this , as he had intended to wait until the army had been tested in battle before judging which generals were suitable for corps command . After the Battle of Williamsburg on May 5 , McClellan requested and obtained permission to create two additions corps ; these became the V Corps , headed by Brig. Gen Fitz - John Porter , and the VI Corps , headed by Brig. Gen William B. Franklin , both personal favorites of his . After the Battle of Kernstown in the Valley on March 23 , the administration became paranoid about `` Stonewall '' Jackson 's activities there and the potential danger they posed to Washington D.C. , and to McClellan 's displeasure , detached Blenker 's division from the II Corps and sent it to West Virginia to serve under John C. Fremont 's command . McDowell 's corps was detached as well and stationed in the Rappahannock area . In June 1862 , George McCall 's division from McDowell 's corps ( the Pennsylvania Reserves Division ) was sent down to the Peninsula and temporarily attached to the V Corps . In the Seven Days Battles , the V Corps was heavily engaged . The Pennsylvania Reserves , in particular , suffered heavy losses including its division commander , who was captured by the Confederates , and two of its three brigadiers ( John F. Reynolds , also captured , and George Meade , who was wounded ) . The III Corps fought at Glendale , however , the rest of the army was not heavily engaged in the week - long fight aside from Slocum 's division of the VI Corps , which was sent to reinforce the V Corps at Gaines Mill . The Army of the Potomac remained on the Virginia Peninsula until August , when it was recalled back to Washington D.C. Keyes and one of the two IV Corps divisions were left behind permanently as part of the newly - created Department of the James , while the other division , commanded by Brig. Gen Darius Couch was attached to the VI Corps . During the Second Battle of Bull Run , the III and V Corps were temporarily attached to Pope 's army ; the former suffered major losses and was sent back to Washington to rest and refit afterward , so it did not participate in the Maryland Campaign . The V Corps attracted controversy during the battle when Fitz - John Porter failed to execute Pope 's orders properly and attack Stonewall Jackson 's flank despite his protests that James Longstreet 's troops were blocking the way . Pope blamed the loss at Second Bull Run on Porter , who was court - martialed and spent much of his life attempting to get himself exonerated . Sigel 's command , now redesignated the XI Corps , also spent the Maryland Campaign in Washington resting and refitting . In the Maryland Campaign , the Army of the Potomac had six corps . These were the I Corps , commanded by Joe Hooker after Irvin McDowell was removed from command , the II Corps , commanded by Edwin Sumner , the V Corps , headed by Fitz - John Porter , the VI Corps , headed by William Franklin , the IX Corps , headed by Ambrose Burnside and formerly the Department of North Carolina , and the XII Corps , headed by Nathaniel Banks until September 12 , and given to Joseph K. Mansfield just two days prior to Antietam , where he was killed in action . At Antietam , the I and XII Corps were the first Union outfits to fight and both corps suffered enormous casualties ( plus the loss of their commanders ) so that they were down to near - division strength and their brigades at regimental strength after the battle was over . The II and IX Corps were also heavily engaged but the V and VI Corps largely stayed out of the battle . When Burnside took over command of the army from McClellan in the fall , he formed the army into four Grand Divisions . The Right Grand Division was commanded by Edwin Sumner and comprised the II and V Corps , the Center Grand Division , commanded by Joe Hooker , comprised the IX and III Corps , and the Left Grand Division , commanded by William Franklin , comprised the VI and I Corps . In addition , the Reserve Grand Division , commanded by Franz Sigel , comprised the XI and XII Corps . At Fredericksburg , the I Corps was commanded by John F. Reynolds , the II Corps by Darius Couch , the III Corps by George Stoneman , the V Corps by Daniel Butterfield , the VI Corps by William F. Smith , and the IX Corps by Orlando Willcox . The XI Corps was commanded by Franz Sigel and the XII Corps by Henry Slocum , however , neither corps was present at Fredericksburg , the former not arriving until after the battle was over , and the latter was stationed at Harper 's Ferry . Following Fredericksburg , Burnside was removed from command of the army and replaced by Joe Hooker . Hooker immediately abolished the Grand Divisions and also for the first time organized the cavalry into a proper corps led by George Stoneman instead of having them ineffectually scattered among infantry divisions . Burnside and his old IX Corps departed out to a command in the Western Theater . The I , II , and XII Corps retained the same commanders they had had during the Fredericksburg campaign , but the other corps got new commanders once again . Daniel Butterfield was chosen by Hooker as his new chief of staff and command of the V Corps went to George Meade . Daniel Sickles received command of the III Corps and Oliver Howard the XI Corps after Franz Sigel had resigned , refusing to serve under Hooker , his junior in rank . William Franklin also left the army for the same reason . Edwin Sumner , who was in his 60s and exhausted from campaigning , departed as well and died a few months later . William F. Smith resigned from command of the VI Corps , which was taken over by John Sedgwick . The I and V Corps were not significantly engaged during the Chancellorsville campaign . During the Gettysburg Campaign , the army 's existing organization was largely retained , but a number of brigades composed of short - term nine - month regiments departed as their enlistment terms expired . Darius Couch resigned from command of the II Corps after Chancellorsville , the corps going to Winfield Hancock . The Pennsylvania Reserves Division , having spent several months in Washington D.C. resting and refitting from the 1862 campaigns , returned to the army , but was added to the V Corps rather than rejoining the I Corps . George Stoneman had been removed from command of the cavalry corps by Hooker after a poor performance during the Chancellorsville campaign and replaced by Alfred Pleasanton . George Meade was suddenly appointed the commander of the army on June 28 , a mere three days before the battle of Gettysburg . At the battle , the I , II , and III Corps suffered such severe losses that they were almost nonfunctional as fighting units at the end . One corps commander ( Reynolds ) was killed , another ( Sickles ) lost a leg and was permanently out of the war , and a third ( Hancock ) was badly wounded and never completely recovered from his injuries . The VI Corps had not been significantly engaged and was mostly used to plug up holes in the line during the battle . For the remainder of the war , corps were added and subtracted from the army . IV Corps was broken up after the Peninsula Campaign , with its headquarters and 2nd Division left behind in Yorktown , while its 1st Division moved north , attached to the VI Corps , in the Maryland Campaign . Those parts of the IV Corps that remained on the Peninsula were reassigned to the Department of Virginia and disbanded on October 1 , 1863 . Those added to the Army of the Potomac were IX Corps , XI Corps ( Sigel 's I Corps in the former Army of Virginia ) , XII Corps ( Banks 's II Corps from the Army of Virginia ) , added in 1862 ; and the Cavalry Corps , created in 1863 . Eight of these corps ( seven infantry , one cavalry ) served in the army during 1863 , but due to attrition and transfers , the army was reorganized in March 1864 with only four corps : II , V , VI , and Cavalry . Of the original eight , I and III Corps were disbanded due to heavy casualties and their units combined into other corps . The XI and XII Corps were ordered to the West in late 1863 to support the Chattanooga Campaign , and while there were combined into the XX Corps , never returning to the East . The IX Corps returned to the army in 1864 , after being assigned to the West in 1863 and then served alongside , but not as part of , the Army of the Potomac from March to May 24 , 1864 . On that latter date , IX Corps was formally added to the Army of the Potomac . Two divisions of the Cavalry Corps have transferred in August 1864 to Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan 's Army of the Shenandoah , and the 2nd Division alone remained under Meade 's command . On March 26 , 1865 , that division was also assigned to Sheridan for the closing campaigns of the war .

Flash-gas (refrigeration)
Flash - gas ( refrigeration ) - wikipedia Flash - gas ( refrigeration ) Not to be confused with Muzzle Flash . In refrigeration , flash - gas is refrigerant in gas form produced spontaneously when the condensed liquid is subjected to boiling . The presence of flash - gas in the liquid lines reduces the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle . It can also lead several expansion systems to work improperly , and increase superheating at the evaporator . This is normally perceived as an unwanted condition caused by dissociation between the volume of the system , and the pressures and temperatures that allow the refrigerant to be liquid . Flash - gas must not be confused with lack of condensation , but special gear such as receivers , internal heat exchangers , insulation , and refrigeration cycle optimizers may improve condensation and avoid gas in the liquid lines . Contents 1 Common Causes 1.1 Heat absorption and pressure loss 1.2 Quality and amount of refrigerant 1.3 Gas production after expansion 2 Detection 3 Prevention 3.1 Effects on the rest of the system 4 Effects of Flash - Gas 5 See also 6 References Common causes ( edit ) Heat absorption and pressure loss ( edit ) A small illustration of some of the most usual causes of the production of flash - gas . The most common causes driving the fluid to change its phase when in the liquid line are the excessive length of the pipeline , the small diameter of the pipelines , and the lack of subcooling . These create low pressure loci that may induce the fluid to begin changing its phase , especially if the pipeline is somehow exposed to heat absorption . If subcooling is not generous enough , the refrigerant remains in thermodynamic conditions close to saturation easing flash - gas appearance . The heat may be absorbed not only from high temperature sources , but from diverse energy sources such as friction in the pipeline . On the other hand , pressure in the liquid line may also be upset by artifacts and conditions including vertically rising pipes that reach too high ; gear too small for the size of the piping ; devices pumping refrigerant through the line , and several other strangling obstructions . Eventually , heat absorption and pressure losses in the liquid line modify the saturation conditions of the refrigerant in such manner that the refrigerant may boil and produce flash - gas . Quality and amount of refrigerant ( edit ) Refrigerant may also explain flash - gas occurrence . When a system lacks refrigerant , or has a leakage , it may exhibit flash - gas as the volume in the piping exceeds the capacity of the refrigerant to fill it as liquid . This may force the refrigerant into a phase change . On the other hand , lack of refrigerant can sometimes also produce the opposite effect : an overall increase on the subcooling ( and superheating ) which will depend on the size and design of the system and its piping . If the system 's refrigerant is degenerate , flash - gas may also be produced , as physical properties of the fluid change . This happens because the piping is designed for a specific refrigerant mixture that allows liquid in the liquid line , given certain thermodynamic conditions . If the refrigerant mixture changes its composition considerably , the original designs will not be adequate . Degenerated refrigerant produced by leakage , chemical decomposition or loading with gas when using a glided refrigerant ; will most likely make the system perform very poorly , alter oil 's circulation or composition , and may eventually render gear inoperative . Gas production after expansion ( edit ) It is also common to find that refrigerant begins to evaporate immediately after the expansion valve , before arriving to the evaporator . This may also be considered as flash - gas but normally does n't produce complications in the refrigeration cycle . Many refrigeration systems have the expansion valve set up inside the room being cooled , consequently generating productive refrigeration if absorbing heat from the room , to produce this kind of flash - gas between the expansion and the evaporator . Besides , the expansion valve deregulates its operation if the fluid arriving to it is boiling . In this case , the boiling occurs after the expansion . Detection ( edit ) Flash - gas may be detected in the system by the observation of bubbles or gas presence in the liquid line , or the foamy aspect of the fluid . Depending on the location of the glass : this may also indicate an overwhelmed condenser , and the nonobservance of these at the glass is n't definite of the nonoccurrence of flash - gas in the liquid line . Considering the saturation table for the refrigerant , if it is possible to confirm that a certain amount of condenser subcooling is being produced , and the glass still exhibits gas in the liquid line , one may identify this with flash - gas being produced between the condenser and the glass . The flash - gas phenomena may create a deceiving temperature drop on the liquid line that can be misinterpreted as subcooling . This is due to the fact that the refrigerant may use part of the heat obtained from lowering its temperature , to finish vaporizing itself to be able to occupy the volume of the pipes at those pressures . Prevention ( edit ) Efforts to prevent flash - gas in the liquid line include a cautious design of the cooling system and its piping , but also the incorporation of gear that might help solve this type of difficulty . The inclusion of a refrigerant receiver is a common , cheap and simple way of decreasing the gas ratio in the liquid line . The incorporation of a subcooling stage after the receiver reduces even more the chances to observe flash gas . This subcooling may be done in a reserved portion of the main condenser , or separately with a heat exchanger . Some receivers may incorporate an internal heat exchanger that draws heat form the subcooled liquid to superheat the gas compressors suction . There are also many kinds of independent subcooling displays and applications such as refrigeration cycle optimizers ; these help avoiding flash - gas in the liquid line by lowering the temperature away from the refrigerant 's saturation curves . Some systems deal with flash - gas by separating it from the refrigerant that goes to the evaporator , as that portion of the refrigerant alrealdy evaporated and will only increase superheating . One key feature when preventing flash - gas is the diameter of the piping . If the pipes are too thin and long , loss of pressure and friction tend to occur . If the evaporator is too high above the receiver , the rising pipes produce a small amount of vacuum at the topmost portion , making the fluid to undergo ebullition and produce flash - gas . On the contrary , a refrigerant column that creates weight and pressure may reduce the chances of finding flash - gas . If the evaporator is a plate exchanger placed below the level of the receiver , the pressure will not allow the refrigerant to boil easily . Insulating the liquid line can be helpful if one can determine that heat is being absorbed throughout the piping . On the contrary , if the liquid in the liquid line is hotter than the air outside , insulating the pipes on that section might increase flash - gas as natural subcooling is partially decreased . Effects on the rest of the system ( edit ) When preventing flash gas , one must take into account all the other features of the system and how they are affected . Increasing the pipeline diameter may have incidence on the oil circulation and affect the gas compressor . A column of refrigerant creating weight pressure in the liquid line can be a solution for flash - gas , but may have incidence in the expansion and evaporation . If the evaporator floods and liquid arrives to the gas compressor , serious complications will show up , most likely destroying the compressor ( especially if the compressor is below the level of the receiver ) . Effects of flash - gas ( edit ) The main effect of the presence flash - gas in the liquid piping is the net loss of refrigeration capacity . In general terms this is produced in two ways . First , the expansion valve usually does n't work properly if injecting a gas - liquid mixture such as refrigerant with flash - gas presence . Second , a portion of the heat required for the refrigerant to flash into gaseous form is drawn from mechanical work such as pressure imbued by the gas compressor that moves the refrigerant . Both , lack of evaporation , and untimed transformations of energy from work to heat : increase the pressures and temperatures along the pipes ; decrease the thermodynamic reversibility of the process , and raise the overall magnitude of entropy produced throughout the whole cycle . This means the refrigeration efficiency of the cycle worsens as it moves away from Carnot 's theoretical ideal efficiency . A loss of performance implies that the system uses more energy to produce less refrigeration . Besides , these kinds of efficiency losses not only underutilize gear , but may end up lowering the operative life of the main components , especially the expansion valve and the gas compressor .

It stars Dan Aykroyd , John Candy , Stephanie Faracy and Annette Bening in her film debut . The film follows two families spending time on vacation in Wisconsin . Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Filming locations 4 Reception 4.1 Box office 5 Soundtrack 6 Reboot 7 References 8 External links Plot ( edit ) Chicagoan Chester `` Chet '' Ripley , his wife , Connie , and their two sons , Buckley `` Buck '' and Ben , are on vacation at a lake resort in Pechoggin , Wisconsin during the summer . All is going as planned until Connie 's sister , Kate , Kate 's investment broker husband , Roman Craig , and their twin daughters , Mara and Cara , crash the vacation . Ghost stories at the family BBQ include one of a man - eating grizzly bear that Chet met face - to - face when he was younger . Chet says that while he and Connie were honeymooning at the same lake , he was attacked by a giant grizzly bear . When he fired at it with a shotgun , the buckshot shaved the hair off the top of the bear 's head and from that day on , it was known as the `` Bald - Headed Bear '' of Claire County . After Roman pulls Chet around the lake on an impromptu water ski ride with his rented speedboat , tensions between the families erupt . Chet is ready to pack up and go home , even as his teenage son Buck tries to romance a local girl , Cammie . The budding romance goes well until Chet is challenged to eat the Old 96'er ( a 96 - ounce steak ) at a family dinner which causes Buck to break their date . Buck tries to apologize to Cammie for being late , but Cammie refuses to speak to him . Connie and Kate bond at a local bar when the conversation drifts to Kate 's challenges of being wealthy . Later , just at the peak of tension between families , it emerges that Roman has made a bad investment and is broke . He has not told Kate and was planning to hit up Chet for the cash . Later , during a thunderstorm , the twins wander off and fall into a mine shaft . Chet and Roman find them , but the claustrophobic Roman is reluctant to descend into the tiny mine shaft . After some encouragement from Chet , Roman summons up all his courage , while Chet goes in search of a rope to pull them out . Upon realizing that the mine is stocked with old dynamite , Roman takes his daughters and climbs out of the shaft on his own . When Chet returns with the rope , he is horrified to discover the `` Bald - Headed Bear '' lurking in the mine . It chases him back to his house , smashes through the door , and rampages through the house . Wally , the cabin owner , bursts in with a loaded shotgun while Roman tries to hold off the animal with a fire poker and an oar . Chet takes the gun and shoots the bear , blowing the fur off its backside . Roaring , the bear runs out of the house . The next morning , the two families part on good terms . Unbeknownst to Chet , Connie has invited Roman 's family to stay with them until they can get back on their feet . Cammie and Buck make up and end their summer romance , as Buck and his family head back to Chicago . Cast ( edit ) Dan Aykroyd as Roman Craig John Candy as Chester `` Chet '' Ripley Stephanie Faracy as Connie Ripley Annette Bening as Kate `` Katie '' Craig Robert Prosky as Wally Chris Young as Buckley `` Buck '' Ripley Ian Giatti as Ben `` Benny '' Ripley Hillary and Rebecca Gordon as Cara and Mara Craig Lucy Deakins as Cammie Filming locations ( edit ) The film was shot on location in Bass Lake , California , a small resort town near Yosemite National Park over three weeks in October 1987 . Ducey 's Bass Lake Lodge , a rustic 1940s resort in Bass Lake , was featured as Wally and Juanita 's Perk 's Pine Lodge .

Visible spectrum
Visible spectrum - wikipedia Visible spectrum Jump to : navigation , search `` Color spectrum '' redirects here . For The Dear Hunter album , see The Color Spectrum . White light is dispersed by a prism into the colors of the visible spectrum . The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye . Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light . A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nm . In terms of frequency , this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 430 -- 770 THz . The spectrum does not , however , contain all the colors that the human eyes and brain can distinguish . Unsaturated colors such as pink , or purple variations such as magenta , are absent , for example , because they can be made only by a mix of multiple wavelengths . Colors containing only one wavelength are also called pure colors or spectral colors . Visible wavelengths pass through the `` optical window '' , the region of the electromagnetic spectrum that allows wavelengths to pass largely unattenuated through the Earth 's atmosphere . An example of this phenomenon is that clean air scatters blue light more than red wavelengths , and so the midday sky appears blue . The optical window is also referred to as the `` visible window '' because it overlaps the human visible response spectrum . The near infrared ( NIR ) window lies just out of the human vision , as well as the Medium Wavelength IR ( MWIR ) window , and the Long Wavelength or Far Infrared ( LWIR or FIR ) window , although other animals may experience them . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Animal color vision 3 Spectral colors 4 Spectroscopy 5 Color display spectrum 6 See also 7 References History ( edit ) Newton 's color circle , from Opticks of 1704 , showing the colors he associated with musical notes . The spectral colors from red to violet are divided by the notes of the musical scale , starting at D . The circle completes a full octave , from D to D. Newton 's circle places red , at one end of the spectrum , next to violet , at the other . This reflects the fact that non-spectral purple colors are observed when red and violet light are mixed . In the 13th century , Roger Bacon theorized that rainbows were produced by a similar process to the passage of light through glass or crystal . In the 17th century , Isaac Newton discovered that prisms could disassemble and reassemble white light , and described the phenomenon in his book Opticks . He was the first to use the word spectrum ( Latin for `` appearance '' or `` apparition '' ) in this sense in print in 1671 in describing his experiments in optics . Newton observed that , when a narrow beam of sunlight strikes the face of a glass prism at an angle , some is reflected and some of the beam passes into and through the glass , emerging as different - colored bands . Newton hypothesized light to be made up of `` corpuscles '' ( particles ) of different colors , with the different colors of light moving at different speeds in transparent matter , red light moving more quickly than violet in glass . The result is that red light is bent ( refracted ) less sharply than violet as it passes through the prism , creating a spectrum of colors . Newton 's observation of prismatic colors ( David Brewster 1855 ) Newton divided the spectrum into seven named colors : red , orange , yellow , green , blue , indigo , and violet . He chose seven colors out of a belief , derived from the ancient Greek sophists , of there being a connection between the colors , the musical notes , the known objects in the solar system , and the days of the week . The human eye is relatively insensitive to indigo 's frequencies , and some people who have otherwise - good vision can not distinguish indigo from blue and violet . For this reason , some later commentators , including Isaac Asimov , have suggested that indigo should not be regarded as a color in its own right but merely as a shade of blue or violet . However , the evidence indicates that what Newton meant by `` indigo '' and `` blue '' does not correspond to the modern meanings of those color words . Comparing Newton 's observation of prismatic colors to a color image of the visible light spectrum shows that `` indigo '' corresponds to what is today called blue , whereas `` blue '' corresponds to cyan . In the 18th century , Goethe wrote about optical spectra in his Theory of Colours . Goethe used the word spectrum ( Spektrum ) to designate a ghostly optical afterimage , as did Schopenhauer in On Vision and Colors . Goethe argued that the continuous spectrum was a compound phenomenon . Where Newton narrowed the beam of light to isolate the phenomenon , Goethe observed that a wider aperture produces not a spectrum but rather reddish - yellow and blue - cyan edges with white between them . The spectrum appears only when these edges are close enough to overlap . In the early 19th century , the concept of the visible spectrum became more definite , as light outside the visible range was discovered and characterized by William Herschel ( infrared ) and Johann Wilhelm Ritter ( ultraviolet ) , Thomas Young , Thomas Johann Seebeck , and others . Young was the first to measure the wavelengths of different colors of light , in 1802 . The connection between the visible spectrum and color vision was explored by Thomas Young and Hermann von Helmholtz in the early 19th century . Their theory of color vision correctly proposed that the eye uses three distinct receptors to perceive color . Animal color vision ( edit ) See also : Color vision § Physiology of color perception Many species can see light within frequencies outside the human `` visible spectrum '' . Bees and many other insects can detect ultraviolet light , which helps them find nectar in flowers . Plant species that depend on insect pollination may owe reproductive success to their appearance in ultraviolet light rather than how colorful they appear to humans . Birds , too , can see into the ultraviolet ( 300 -- 400 nm ) , and some have sex - dependent markings on their plumage that are visible only in the ultraviolet range . Many animals that can see into the ultraviolet range , however , can not see red light or any other reddish wavelengths . Bees ' visible spectrum ends at about 590 nm , just before the orange wavelengths start . Birds , however , can see some red wavelengths , although not as far into the light spectrum as humans . The popular belief that the common goldfish is the only animal that can see both infrared and ultraviolet light is incorrect , because goldfish can not see infrared light . Similarly , dogs are often thought to be color blind but they have been shown to be sensitive to colors , though not as many as humans . Spectral colors ( edit ) Color Wavelength Frequency Photon energy Violet 380 -- 450 nm 668 -- 789 THz 2.75 -- 3.26 eV Blue 450 -- 495 nm 606 -- 668 THz 2.50 -- 2.75 eV Green 495 -- 570 nm 526 -- 606 THz 2.17 -- 2.50 eV Yellow 570 -- 590 nm 508 -- 526 THz 2.10 -- 2.17 eV Orange 590 -- 620 nm 484 -- 508 THz 2.00 -- 2.10 eV Red 620 -- 750 nm 400 -- 484 THz 1.65 -- 2.00 eV Colors that can be produced by visible light of a narrow band of wavelengths ( monochromatic light ) are called pure spectral colors . The various color ranges indicated in the illustration are an approximation : The spectrum is continuous , with no clear boundaries between one color and the next . Spectroscopy ( edit ) Rough plot of Earth 's atmospheric opacity to various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation , including visible light Spectroscopy is the study of objects based on the spectrum of color they emit , absorb or reflect . Spectroscopy is an important investigative tool in astronomy , where scientists use it to analyze the properties of distant objects . Typically , astronomical spectroscopy uses high - dispersion diffraction gratings to observe spectra at very high spectral resolutions . Helium was first detected by analysis of the spectrum of the sun . Chemical elements can be detected in astronomical objects by emission lines and absorption lines . The shifting of spectral lines can be used to measure the Doppler shift ( red shift or blue shift ) of distant objects . Color display spectrum ( edit ) Approximation of spectral colors on a display results in somewhat distorted chromaticity A rendering of the visible spectrum on a gray background produces non-spectral mixtures of pure spectrum with gray , which fit into the sRGB color space . Color displays ( e.g. computer monitors and televisions ) can not reproduce all colors discernible by a human eye . Colors outside the color gamut of the device , such as most spectral colors , can only be approximated . For color - accurate reproduction , a spectrum can be projected onto a uniform gray field . The resulting mixed colors can have all their R , G , B coordinates non-negative , and so can be reproduced without distortion . This accurately simulates looking at a spectrum on a gray background .

On 14 August 1947 , the Transfer of Power took place . Lord Mountbatten , Governor General of India , addressed the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan .

On 15 August 1947 , Quaid - i - Azam was sworn in as the first Governor General of Pakistan . Mian Sir Abdur Rashid , Chief Justice of Pakistan , administered oath of office from him . The Quaid remained in this position till his death i.e. 11 September 1948 . Powers ( edit ) Legislative Process Chart of National Assembly of Pakistan `` ... you are now a sovereign legislative body and you have got all the powers . It , therefore , places on you the gravest responsibility as to how you should take your decisions . '' -- Muhammad Ali Jinnah , in his presidential address to the First Constituent Assembly of Pakistan on August 11 , 1947 The Constitution which was passed unanimously by the National Assembly in April 1973 , provides a federal parliamentary system of government , with the President as the ceremonial head of the State and an elected Prime Minister as the head of the government . Under Article 50 of the Constitution the federal legislature is the bicameral Majlis - e-Shoora ( Parliament ) , which comprises the President and the two Houses , the National Assembly and the Senate . The National Assembly , Pakistan 's sovereign legislative body , makes laws for the federation under powers spelled out in the Federal Legislative List and also for subjects in the Concurrent List , as given in the fourth schedule of the Constitution . Through debates , adjournment motions , question hour , and Standing Committees , the National Assembly keeps a check on the government . It ensures that the government functions within the parameters set out in the Constitution , and does not violate the people 's fundamental rights . The Parliament scrutinizes public spending and exercises control of expenditure incurred by the government through the work of the relevant Standing Committees . The Public Accounts Committee has a special role to review the report of the Auditor General . Senate , the upper house of the Parliament , has equal representation from the federating units balancing the provincial inequality in the National Assembly , where the number of members is based on population of the provinces . The Senate 's role is to promote national cohesion and harmony , and work as a stabilizing factor of the federation . The Senate numbers a total of 104 members who serve six - year terms which are alternated so that half the senators are up for re-election by the electoral college every three years . The National Assembly consists of 342 members . The Constitution does not empower the President to dissolve the National Assembly . The Senate is not subject to dissolution . Only the Parliament can amend the Constitution , by two - thirds majority vote separately in each House . Members of National Assembly ( edit ) See also : List of Pakistan National Assembly Seats Qualifications ( edit ) The Constitution of Pakistan lists a number of requirements for members of the National Assembly in Article 62 . The constitution also details a number of disqualifications in Article 63 , which include mental instability , insolvency , criminal conviction and accepting dual - citizenship or relinquishing their Pakistani nationality , among others . Furthermore , an individual would stand disqualified if he or she is found to have opposed Pakistan 's ideology or worked against the integrity of the country , after its establishment in 1947 . National Assembly Composition ( edit ) The National Assembly has a total of 342 members , including 60 seats reserved for women and 10 for minorities , as per Article 51 . The seats in the National Assembly are allocated to each Province , the Federally Administered Tribal Areas ( FATA ) and the Federal Capital on the basis of population , as officially published in the last preceding census . The present allocation of seats is as under : Punjab Sindh Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Balochistan FATA Federal Capital Total General 141 61 39 16 12 272 Women 32 14 10 - - 60 Non-Muslims - - - - - - 10 Total 173 75 49 20 12 342 Tenure ( edit ) The National Assembly is elected for a five - year term on the basis of adult franchise and one person , one vote . The tenure of a Member of the National Assembly is for the duration of the House , or sooner , in case the Member dies or resigns . The tenure of the National Assembly also comes to an end if dissolved on the advice of the Prime Minister or by the President in his discretion under the Constitution . Under the 1973 Constitution , a member of Parliament may not hold the office of the Prime Minister more than twice . In the 1990s , Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Shareef proposed a bill to amend the 1973 constitution to allow a Member to serve a third term as Prime Minister . Speaker and Deputy Speaker ( edit ) According to The Constitution ( 1 ) After a general election , the National Assembly shall , at its first meeting and to the exclusion of any other business , elect from amongst its members a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker and , so often as the office of Speaker or Deputy Speaker becomes vacant , the Assembly shall elect another member as Speaker or , as the case may be , Deputy Speaker . ( 2 ) Before entering upon office , a member elected as Speaker or Deputy Speaker shall make before the National Assembly oath in the form set out in the Third Schedule . ( 3 ) When the office of Speaker is vacant , or the Speaker is absent or is unable to perform his functions due to any cause , the Deputy Speaker shall act as Speaker , and if , at that time , the Deputy Speaker is also absent or is unable to act as Speaker due to any cause , such member as may be determined by the rules of procedure of the Assembly shall preside at the meeting of the Assembly . ( 4 ) The Speaker or the Deputy Speaker shall not preside at a meeting of the Assembly when a resolution for his removal from office is being considered . ( 5 ) The Speaker may , by writing under his hand addressed to the President , resign his office . ( 6 ) The Deputy Speaker may , by writing under his hand addressed to the Speaker , resign his office . ( 7 ) The office of Speaker or Deputy Speaker shall become vacant if : ( a ) he resigns his office ; ( b ) he ceases to be a member of the Assembly ; ( c ) he is removed from office by a resolution of the Assembly , of which not less than seven days ' notice has been given and which is passed by the votes of the majority of the total membership of the Assembly . ( 8 ) When the National Assembly is dissolved the Speaker shall continue in his office till the person elected to fill the office by the next Assembly enters upon his office . The Speaker of the House is the presiding officer of the National Assembly . The Speaker is assisted by the Deputy Speaker . Both officers are elected from within the ranks of the National Assembly and , by current convention , are usually members of the majority party . The election of the two officers is the first matter an incoming National Assembly deals with , as mandated by the constitution . Apart from presiding over National Assembly debates , the Speaker may also assume the duties of Acting President , if the position is vacant ( in case the President as well as Chairman Senate are not available ) . The current Speaker of the House is Sardar Ayaz Sadiq and the Deputy Speaker is Murtaza Javed Abbasi , both are from the PML - N . Sessions ( edit ) The life of National Assembly is divided into sessions . It had to meet for 130 days before the First Amendment passed on 8 May 1974 in the constitution of 1973 . According to this Amendment , maximum duration between successive sessions was reduced to 90 days from 130 days , and there must be at least three sessions in a year . A session of the National Assembly is summoned by the President of Pakistan under Article 54 ( 1 ) of the Constitution . In the summoning order the President gives the date , time and place ( which is usually the Parliament House ) , for the National Assembly to meet . The date and time for the summoning of the National Assembly is immediately announced over Radio and Television . Generally , a copy of the summon is also sent to the Members at their home address . The National Assembly can also be summoned by the Speaker of National Assembly on a request made by at one - fourth of the total membership of the National Assembly . If the National Assembly is so requisitioned , it must be summoned within 14 days . Procedure ( edit ) Constitutional role ( edit ) Article 50 of the Constitution provides that the Parliament of Pakistan shall consist of President and the two Houses known as the National Assembly and the Senate . The National Assembly has an edge over the Senate by legislating exclusively on money matters . With exception to money Bills , however , both the Houses work together to carryout the basic work of the Parliament , i.e. law making . Legislative procedures ( edit ) The Bill relating to the Federal Legislative List can be originated in either House . If the House passed the Bill through majority vote , it shall be transmitted to the other House . If the other House passes it without amendment , it shall be presented to the President for assent . If the Bill , transmitted to the other House , is not passed within ninety days or rejected , it shall be considered in a joint sitting to be summoned by the President on the request of the House in which the Bill was originated . If the Bill is passed in the joint sitting , with or without amendments , by the votes of majority of the members of the two Houses , it shall be presented to the President for assent . If the Bill is presented to the President for assent , he shall assent to the Bill in not later than ten days. If it is not a Money Bill , the President may return the Bill to the Majlis - e-Shoora with a message requesting that the Bill be reconsidered and that an amendment specified in the message be considered . The Majlis - e-Shoora shall reconsider the Bill in a joint sitting. If the Bill is passed again , with or without amendment , by vote of the majority of the members present and voting , it shall be presented to the President and the President shall give his assent within ten days ; failing which such assent shall be deemed to have been given . Under the Constitution , the Parliament may also legislate for two or more Provinces by consent and request made by those Provinces . If the Federal Government proclaims State of Emergency in any province , the power to legislate about that province is vested in the Parliament . But the Bills passed by the Parliament during the State of Emergency , shall cease to be in force after the expiration of six months from the date Emergency is lifted . Nevertheless , the steps already taken under these Acts shall remain valid . Leaders ( edit ) Leader of the House ( edit ) The Leader of the House is the highest ranking representative of the majority party in National Assembly usually the Prime Minister . List of All The Prime Ministers Leader of the opposition ( edit ) The Leader of the Opposition is the highest ranking representative of the main opposition party .

Hammersmith & City line

Depot ( s ) Hammersmith Rolling stock S7 Stock ( 7 carriages per trainset ) Technical Line length 25.5 km ( 15.8 mi ) Track gauge 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 8 ⁄ in ) standard gauge Transport for London rail lines London Underground Bakerloo Central Circle District Hammersmith & City Jubilee Metropolitan Northern Piccadilly Victoria Waterloo & City Other lines Docklands Light Railway Tramlink Overground TfL Rail The Hammersmith & City line is a London Underground line that runs between Hammersmith in west London and Barking in east London . Coloured pink on the Tube map , it serves 29 stations over 15.8 miles ( 25.5 km ) . Between Farringdon and Aldgate East it skirts the City of London , the capital 's financial heart , hence the line 's name . Its tunnels are just below the surface and are a similar size to those on British main lines . Most of the track and all stations are shared with either the District , Circle or Metropolitan lines , the other parts of London Underground 's sub-surface railway , and over 114 million passenger journeys are made each year on the Hammersmith & City and Circle lines . In 1863 , the Metropolitan Railway began the world 's first underground railway service between Paddington and Farringdon with wooden carriages and steam locomotives . The following year , a railway west from Paddington to Hammersmith was opened and this soon became operated and owned jointly by the Metropolitan and Great Western Railway companies . The line was then extended to the east , in stages , reaching the East London Railway in 1884 . The line was electrified in 1906 , and , in 1936 , after the Metropolitan Railway had been absorbed by the London Passenger Transport Board , some Hammersmith & City line trains were extended over the former District Railway line to Barking . The Hammersmith & City route was shown on the Tube map as part of the Metropolitan line until 1990 , since when it has appeared as a separate line . The track and signalling systems are being upgraded , and the old six - car C Stock trains have been replaced by new seven - car S Stock trains in a programme to increase capacity by 65 per cent by 2019 . The line runs parallel to the Great Western Main Line between Paddington and Westbourne Park , and parallel to the London , Tilbury and Southend Railway between West Ham and Barking .

The line was built mostly under the New Road using the `` cut - and - cover '' method between Paddington and King 's Cross and then in tunnel and cuttings beside Farringdon Road . Supported by the Met and the Great Western Railway ( GWR ) , the Hammersmith & City Railway ( H&CR ) was built from the GWR 's main line a mile west of Paddington station to the developing suburbs of Shepherd 's Bush and Hammersmith . Built on viaduct largely across open fields , the line opened on 13 June 1864 with a GWR service from Farringdon to Hammersmith , services to Addison Road ( now Kensington ( Olympia ) ) on the West London Railway via a link at Latimer Road starting a few weeks later . From 1865 the Met ran trains to Hammersmith and the GWR trains to Addison Road . In 1867 the line became jointly owned by the two companies . In 1871 two additional tracks parallel to the GWR between Westbourne Park and Paddington were brought into use for the H&CR , and in 1878 the flat crossing at Westbourne Park was replaced by a dive - under . A year earlier some services had been extended via London & South Western Railway 's Hammersmith ( Grove Road ) railway station and their line to Richmond . The railway was extended east of Farringdon and a terminus opened at Aldgate on 18 November 1876 . The Met wished to access the South Eastern Railway via the East London Railway ( ELR ) and jointly with the District Railway built lines from their Mansion House station to the Met 's Aldgate station and east from Aldgate to reach the ELR at Whitechapel . In October 1884 the Met extended some Hammersmith services over the ELR to New Cross . In 1902 the Whitechapel & Bow Railway was opened , linking the District Railway at Whitechapel to the London , Tilbury and Southend Railway ( LT&SR ) at an above - ground junction at Bow , to the west of Bromley - by - Bow station , and some District services were extended from Whitechapel to East Ham . When the line was electrified in 1906 services to Richmond were withdrawn and the western termini became Hammersmith and Kensington ( Addison Road ) , and to the east services were diverted from the ELR to Whitechapel , until the ELR was electrified in 1914 and services ran from Hammersmith to New Cross ( SER ) and New Cross ( LB&SCR ) . The 6 - car electric multiple units were jointly owned by the Met and GWR until 1923 when the GWR sold theirs to the Met . London Transport ( edit ) Main article : Metropolitan line ( 1933 -- 88 ) On 1 July 1933 the Metropolitan Railway was amalgamated with other Underground railways , tramway companies and bus operators to form the London Passenger Transport Board . To relieve congestion on the District line east of Whitechapel from 1936 some trains from Hammersmith were diverted from the East London line to Barking . Through trains to New Cross and New Cross Gate were withdrawn in November 1939 , the Hammersmith & City line trains terminating at Whitechapel while the longer 8 - car Uxbridge line trains ran to Barking . However , this caused operational problems and from 1941 Barking was again served by trains from Hammersmith . From 1937 new steel O stock trains , with doors remotely operated by the guard , replaced the wooden - bodied trains dating from 1906 . It had been intended to operate the new trains with four or six cars , but after initial problems with the traction current only six - car formations were used . Services to Kensington ( Olympia ) via the curve at Latimer Road were suspended in 1940 after bomb damage to the West London line and not restarted after the war . When the similar trains running on the Circle line were lengthened to six cars in 1959 and 1960 , the stock of the two lines was integrated with maintenance at Hammersmith depot . Aluminium C Stock trains , with public address systems and originally unpainted , replaced these trains from 1970 . One person operation was proposed in 1972 , but due to conflict with the trade unions was not introduced until 1984 . A separate identity ( edit ) The route between Hammersmith and Barking was shown on the tube map as part of the Metropolitan line , but since 1990 has been shown separately , the Metropolitan line becoming the route from Aldgate to Baker Street and northwards through `` Metro - Land '' to Uxbridge , Watford and Amersham . In 2003 , the infrastructure of the Hammersmith & City line was partly privatised in a public -- private partnership , managed by the Metronet consortium . Metronet went into administration in 2007 and the local government body Transport for London took over responsibilities . The reconstruction of Whitechapel station for the new Crossrail underground line required the reversing platforms to be taken out of use and since December 2009 all services have been extended to Plaistow or Barking . The C Stock trains have been replaced by S7 Stock ; the first new train entered service on the Hammersmith & City line on 6 July 2012 , running a shuttle service between Hammersmith and Moorgate before operating between Hammersmith and Barking on 9 December 2012 . By March 2014 all services were provided by S7 Stock trains . Route ( edit ) The Hammersmith & City line and the London boroughs served The line is 15.8 miles ( 25.5 km ) long with 29 stations . Almost all of its track is shared with the other London Underground sub-surface lines : from Hammersmith to Baker Street with the Circle line , from Baker Street to Aldgate with the Circle and Metropolitan lines , and from Aldgate East station to Barking with the District line . All its stations are shared with other lines . The line is electrified with a four - rail DC system : a central conductor rail is energised at − 210 V and a rail outside the running rails at + 420 V , giving a potential difference of 630 V. Much of the 2 - mile - 35 - chain ( 3.9 km ) double - track railway from the Hammersmith terminus to Westbourne Park station is on a 20 - foot ( 6.1 m ) high brick viaduct . After Westbourne Park the line passes beneath the Great Western main line re-surfacing at Royal Oak station and running alongside the main lines to Paddington station . The line enters a cutting just west of the station and a cut - and - cover tunnel at the end of the platforms . It meets the Circle line from Bayswater at Praed Street Junction before passing through Edgware Road station in a cutting . After King 's Cross St Pancras the line is in cutting , passing under the Ray Street Gridiron that carries the City Widened Lines used for Thameslink services . There are bay platforms at Moorgate . Just before Aldgate the line diverges from the Circle and Metropolitan lines to Aldgate East . The line passes over the London Overground at Whitechapel station continuing on the 2 - mile ( 3.2 km ) former Whitechapel & Bow Railway to Bow Road where it surfaces , and then to Bromley - by - Bow , where it runs alongside the London , Tilbury and Southend line from Fenchurch Street . At the next station , West Ham , there is interchange with the Jubilee line , the Docklands Light Railway and c2c . There is a bay platform at the next station , Plaistow , and the line terminates after two more stations at Barking . Services ( edit ) As of December 2012 off - peak there are six trains per hour , calling at all stations , and requiring 15 trains for the peak - hour service . Together with the Circle line , over 114 million passenger journeys are made each year . The journey from Hammersmith to Barking takes 61 minutes off - peak . The central section from Paddington to Aldgate East is in Fare Zone 1 , to the west to Hammersmith and east to Bromley - by - Bow in Zone 2 . Barking and East Ham are in Zone 4 . Rolling Stock ( edit ) Main article : London Underground S7 and S8 Stock S7 Stock leaving West Ham station Services are provided by seven - car S Stock , part of Bombardier 's Movia family , with air - conditioning as the sub-surface tunnels ( unlike those on the deep - level tube lines ) are able to disperse the exhausted hot air . These trains have regenerative brakes , returning around 20 per cent of their energy to the network . With a top speed of 62 mph ( 100 km / h ) , a 7 - car S Stock train has a capacity of 865 passengers , compared to 739 for the six - car C Stock train it replaced . With a length of 384 feet ( 117 m ) , S Stock trains are 79 feet ( 24 m ) longer than 305 - foot ( 93 m ) long C Stock trains and station platforms have been lengthened . Traction voltage was increased in 2017 , from the present nominal 630 V to 750 V to give better performance and allow the trains to return more energy to the network through their regenerative brakes . Depot ( edit ) The line 's depot is at Hammersmith , close to Hammersmith station , built by the Great Western Railway to be operated by the Metropolitan Railway when the joint railway was electrified in the early 20th century . Sidings at Barking and near High Street Kensington ( Triangle Sidings ) stable trains overnight . Sidings at Farringdon were used during the C stock era ; due to the greater length of the new S stock trains , these are no longer in use . Upgrade programme ( edit ) Together with the introduction of S Stock trains , the track , electrical supply and signalling systems are being upgraded in a programme planned to increase peak - hour capacity on the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines by 65 per cent by the end of 2018 . A single control room for the sub-surface railway opened in Hammersmith on 6 May 2018 and an automatic train control ( ATC ) system will replace signalling equipment installed from the 1940s . The cross-London Crossrail line , planned to open in 2018 , is expected to reduce crowding between Paddington and Whitechapel . Automatic operation was planned by TfL to begin in June 2018 but it is yet to start in public service .

Introduced in the original Star Wars film in 1977 , Leia is princess of the planet Alderaan , a member of the Imperial Senate and an agent of the Rebel Alliance . She thwarts the sinister Sith Lord Darth Vader and helps bring about the destruction of the Empire 's cataclysmic superweapon , the Death Star . In The Empire Strikes Back ( 1980 ) , Leia commands a Rebel base and evades Vader as she falls in love with the smuggler , Han Solo . In Return of the Jedi ( 1983 ) , Leia leads the operation to rescue Han from the crime lord Jabba the Hutt , and is revealed to be Vader 's daughter and the twin sister of Luke Skywalker . The prequel film Revenge of the Sith ( 2005 ) establishes that the twins ' mother is Senator ( and former queen ) Padmé Amidala of Naboo , who dies after childbirth . Leia is adopted by Senator Bail and Queen Breha Organa of Alderaan . In The Force Awakens ( 2015 ) and The Last Jedi ( 2017 ) , Leia is the founder and General of the Resistance against the First Order . She and Han have a son named Ben , who adopted the name Kylo Ren after turning to the dark side of the Force . In the Star Wars Legends series of novels , comics and video games ( 1977 -- 2014 ) , which are set in an alternate continuity , Leia continues her adventures with Han and Luke after Return of the Jedi , fighting Imperial resurgences and new threats to the galaxy . She becomes the Chief of State of the New Republic and a Jedi Master , and is the mother to three children by Han : Jaina , Jacen and Anakin Solo . One of the more popular Star Wars characters , Leia has been called a 1980s icon , a feminist hero and model for other adventure heroines . She has appeared in many derivative works and merchandising , and has been referenced or parodied in several TV shows and films . Her `` cinnamon buns '' hairstyle from Star Wars ( 1977 ) and metal bikini from Return of the Jedi have become cultural icons .

In 1999 , Lucas explained his early development of Leia , Luke and Obi - Wan Kenobi : The first ( version ) talked about a princess and an old general . The second version involved a father , his son , and his daughter ; the daughter was the heroine of the film . Now the daughter has become Luke , Mark Hamill 's character . There was also the story of two brothers where I transformed one of them into a sister . The older brother was imprisoned , and the young sister had to rescue him and bring him back to their dad . Film historian Laurent Bouzereau notes in his 1997 book Star Wars : The Annotated Screenplays that in the rough draft of Star Wars , Leia is the spoiled teenage daughter of King Kayos and Queen Breha of Aquilae , with two brothers , Biggs and Windy ; Biggs returned to the fourth draft as a childhood friend of Luke . According to Skywalking : The Life and Films of George Lucas ( 1999 ) , Luke Skywalker was originally Luke Starkiller and Leia was `` the daughter of Owen Lars and his wife Beru and seems to be Luke 's cousin -- together they visit the grave of his mother , who perished with his father on a planet destroyed by the Death Star . '' J.W. Rinzler explains in The Making of Star Wars : The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film ( 2007 ) that a later story synopsis establishes Leia as `` Leia Antilles '' , the daughter of Bail Antilles from the peaceful world of Organa Major . In the fourth draft it was established that `` Leia Organa '' came instead from Alderaan . Fisher was 19 when she was cast as Princess Leia , with actresses including Amy Irving , Cindy Williams and Jodie Foster also up for the role . In 2014 , InkTank reported that the extended list of `` more than two dozen actresses '' who had auditioned for Leia included Glenn Close , Farrah Fawcett , Jessica Lange , Sissy Spacek , Sigourney Weaver , Cybill Shepherd , Jane Seymour , Anjelica Huston , Kim Basinger , Kathleen Turner , Geena Davis and Meryl Streep . Asked about Streep in 2015 , Fisher said , `` I 've never heard that one . But Jodie Foster was up for it ... that one I knew the most . Amy Irving and Jodie . And I got it . '' The second draft of the Return of the Jedi screenplay contained dialogue in which Obi - Wan tells Luke he has a twin sister . She and their mother were `` sent to the protection of friends in a distant system . The mother died shortly thereafter , and Luke 's sister was adopted by Ben 's friends , the governor of Alderaan and his wife . '' Fisher explained in 1983 : `` Leia 's real father left her mother when she was pregnant , so her mother married this King Organa . I was adopted and grew up set apart from other people because I was a princess . '' Composer John Williams created a musical leitmotif for Leia which recurs throughout the Star Wars saga . `` Princess Leia 's Theme '' was recorded as a concert suite ( 4 : 18 length ) for the score of the 1977 film . Character ( edit ) Anthony Breznican of Entertainment Weekly describes Leia as a `` diplomat , spy , warrior , undercover agent '' . Mark Edlitz calls her `` a smart , feisty , brave diplomat and warrior '' in The Huffington Post . Fisher told Rolling Stone in 1983 : There are a lot of people who do n't like my character in these movies ; they think I 'm some kind of space bitch . She has no friends , no family ; her planet was blown up in seconds ... so all she has is a cause . From the first film ( Star Wars ) , she was just a soldier , front line and center . The only way they knew to make the character strong was to make her angry . In Return of the Jedi , she gets to be more feminine , more supportive , more affectionate . She said in 2014 : I would rather have played Han Solo . When I first read the script I thought that 's the part to be , always wry and sardonic . He 's always that . I feel like a lot of the time Leia 's either worried or pissed or , thank God , sort of snarky . But I 'm much more worried and pissed than Han Solo ever was , and those are n't fun things to play ... I had a lot of fun killing Jabba the Hutt . They asked me on the day if I wanted to have a stunt double kill Jabba . No ! That 's the best time I ever had as an actor . And the only reason to go into acting is if you can kill a giant monster . Appearances ( edit ) Feature films ( edit ) Star Wars ( edit ) Princess Leia 's white gown from Episode IV Introduced in the original 1977 film Star Wars , Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan is a member of the Imperial Senate . She is captured by Darth Vader on board the ship Tantive IV , where she is acting as a spy for the Rebel Alliance . Leia has secretly hidden the blueprints for the Death Star , the Empire 's moon - sized battle station , inside the astromech droid R2 - D2 and has sent it to find one of the last remaining Jedi , Obi - Wan Kenobi , on the nearby planet of Tatooine . Vader arrests Leia and has her tortured , but she resists revealing anything . Death Star commander Grand Moff Tarkin threatens to destroy her home planet Alderaan with the Death Star unless she reveals the location of the hidden Rebel base . She provides the location of an old , abandoned base on the planet Dantooine , but Tarkin orders Alderaan to be destroyed anyway . Leia is rescued by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo , and they escape aboard Han 's ship , the Millennium Falcon . After analyzing the Death Star 's schematics , the Rebels find a tiny weakness in the battle station , which Luke uses to destroy it in his X-wing fighter . In the aftermath of the victory , Leia bestows medals on the heroes at the hidden Rebel base on Yavin 4 . Alyssa Rosenberg of The Washington Post writes of Leia in the film : Leia 's nerves as a revolutionary are clear from the moment she arrives on screen ... She takes shots at the Storm Troopers boarding her ship , gets stunned with a blaster in her hand , then has the audacity to try to make Darth Vader feel ashamed of himself ... She has enough energy left over after a nasty session of torture to insult Grand Moff Tarkin . And while she grieves when her home planet , Alderaan , is destroyed by the Death Star , Leia 's not paralyzed : when her unexpected rescuers show up , she 's ready to go , and to gripe about their operational sloppiness . Rosenberg also notes that , though Han is almost immediately attracted to Leia , they conflict because she insists on asserting command and he automatically resists , even as she proves herself to be worthy of it . And despite her initial disdain for the smuggler , whom she sees as selfish , Leia later acknowledges `` I knew there was more to you than money '' when Han comes through for the Rebellion . Fisher told Rolling Stone in 1980 that in the original script , when Luke and Han come to rescue a captured Leia , `` I was hanging upside down with yellow eyes , like in The Exorcist ... Some form of radar torture was done to me and I was in a beam , bruised and beaten up , suspended in midair . The reason it was cut from the film was because I was unconscious and the Wookiee would have had to carry me for , like , the next fifteen minutes . '' The Empire Strikes Back ( edit ) In The Empire Strikes Back ( 1980 ) , Leia is at the Rebel base on Hoth . She leads its evacuation during an Imperial attack , and then flees with Han , Chewbacca and C - 3PO on Han 's ship , the Millennium Falcon . They dodge pursuing Imperial TIE fighters by flying into an asteroid field when the Falcon 's hyperdrive breaks down , with Leia piloting the ship at one point . Romance blossoms between Leia and Han during their flight from the Empire ; while hiding in the stomach of a space slug , they finally share a kiss . With his ship needing repairs , Han seeks out his old friend Lando Calrissian in Cloud City , the floating city over Bespin . Though he welcomes them graciously , Lando soon turns them over to a newly arrived Darth Vader , who hopes to use them as bait to capture Luke . Leia confesses her love for Han as he is frozen in carbonite and then handed over to bounty hunter Boba Fett , who is charged with bringing him to the crime lord Jabba the Hutt . Lando helps Leia , Chewbacca and the two droids escape . Leia senses that Luke is in trouble , and goes back to save him after he is nearly killed during a lightsaber duel and confrontation with Vader . Rosenberg notes : Yes , it 's slightly ridiculous ... that ( Han ) tries to pry a confession of affection out of her on Hoth , as Leia is trying to manage an evacuation with just an ion cannon for defense . But Han 's not wrong that if Leia does n't figure out that she 's a person with needs , she 's going to burn out ... In a way , it 's an early confession of love : Han 's anxious about the bounty hunters who are still pursuing him ... But he would stay and give his love and support to Leia if she could just acknowledge that she needs him . Return of the Jedi ( edit ) Princess Leia 's Boushh disguise and thermal detonator from Episode VI In Return of the Jedi ( 1983 ) , Leia infiltrates Jabba the Hutt 's palace on Tatooine disguised as the Ubese bounty hunter Boushh , and brings a captive Chewbacca with her as part of the ruse . She frees Han from the carbonite , but they are recaptured by Jabba . Leia is now chained to Jabba as his slave , outfitted in a metal bikini . After Luke arrives and kills Jabba 's Rancor , Jabba sentences Luke , Han and Chewbacca to be fed to the Sarlacc . Lando ( disguised as a guard ) helps them overpower their captors , and Leia seizes the moment to strangle Jabba with her chain . Luke and Leia swing to safety , blowing up Jabba 's barge behind them . Later , the heroes go to the forest moon of Endor to prepare for a battle with the Empire . There , Luke reveals to Leia that she is his twin sister and that Vader is their father . Leia joins Han in leading the Rebels in battle with Imperial troops as the Rebel Fleet attacks the second Death Star . Leia is slightly injured , but the Rebels , with help from the Ewoks , ultimately defeat the forces of the Empire , with the Death Star destroyed once more . Fisher told Rolling Stone in 1983 , `` In Return of the Jedi , ( Leia ) gets to be more feminine , more supportive , more affectionate . But let 's not forget that these movies are basically boys ' fantasies . So the other way they made her more female in this one was to have her take off her clothes . '' Rosenberg writes of Han and Leia : And we know those two crazy kids are locked for life in Return of the Jedi when it turns out that Han has accepted a Generalship in the Rebellion , keeping it a secret from Leia . In A New Hope , Leia was grumbling about the quality of Han as a rescuer ... But when she finds out what Han 's done , accepting a rank he once found insulting and a mission she knows to be dangerous , Leia is the first person to volunteer to join his strike team . In Star Wars , that 's what love looks like : trusting your partner 's commitment to the cause and respecting his strategic and technical judgement . In the film , Leia says that she has vague memories of her real mother , who she describes as `` kind ... but sad '' . Bouzereau quoted Lucas in 1997 : The part that I never really developed is the death of Luke and Leia 's mother . I had a backstory for her in earlier drafts , but it basically did n't survive . When I got to Jedi , I wanted one of the kids to have some kind of memory of her because she will be a key figure in the new episodes I 'm writing . But I really debated whether or not Leia should remember her . Revenge of the Sith ( edit ) In the prequel film Revenge of the Sith ( 2005 ) , Padmé Amidala is pregnant with Anakin Skywalker 's twins near the end of the Clone Wars . After Anakin turns to the dark side of the Force and becomes Darth Vader , Padmé gives birth to Luke and Leia on Polis Massa and then dies . Leia is adopted by Senator Bail Organa and his wife Queen Breha of Alderaan . Film critic Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wrote , `` As we watch Anakin nearly melt in the lava , only to be put together , Frankenstein style , in a lab while Lucas intercuts scenes of Padme giving birth to the twins Luke and Leia , a link to genuine feeling is established at last . '' The Force Awakens ( edit ) Carrie Fisher reprised the role of Leia in Star Wars : The Force Awakens in 2015 . In March 2013 , Fisher confirmed that she would reprise her role as Leia in Star Wars : The Force Awakens . Set 30 years after Return of the Jedi , The Force Awakens reintroduces a Leia who is `` a little more battle weary , a little more broken hearted '' . In November 2015 , director J.J. Abrams said of Leia , `` She 's referred to as General but ... there 's a moment in the movie where a character sort of slips and calls her ' Princess . ' '' Commenting on the story he added , `` The stakes are pretty high in the story for her , so there 's not much goofing around where Leia 's concerned . '' Asked how Leia is handling things in the film , Fisher said , `` Not easily ... ( she is ) solitary . Under a lot of pressure . Committed as ever to her cause , but I would imagine feeling somewhat defeated , tired , and pissed . '' In the film , Leia is the leader of the Resistance , a group formed by the New Republic to fight a proxy war with the First Order ( a group formed by the remnants of the Empire ) and trying to find Luke , who disappeared years earlier . When her forces foil a First Order attack searching for the Resistance astromech droid BB - 8 , Leia is reunited with Han , who has helped the renegade stormtrooper Finn and orphaned scavenger Rey bring the droid this far . Han and Leia have been estranged for many years ; their marriage fell apart after their son , Ben Solo , fell to the dark side and became the First Order commander Kylo Ren . Leia believes Ben can still be brought back to the light side . Han volunteers for a mission to infiltrate the First Order 's Starkiller Base to disable its defensive shields . Confronting Ren , Han tries to convince his son to leave the First Order , but Ren instead impales his father on his lightsaber , although hesitant to do so . Leia senses Han 's death through the Force , and later shares a moment of grief with Rey , who had thought of Han as a mentor . Leia sees Rey , Chewbacca , and R2 - D2 off when they depart to locate Luke , saying , `` may the Force be with you '' . Asked why Leia is not shown to be a Jedi in The Force Awakens ( as she is in the Star Wars expanded universe works ) , Abrams told IGN , `` It was a great question , and one that we talked about quite a bit , even with Carrie ( Fisher ) . Why did she not take advantage of this natural Force strength that this character had . And one of the answers was that it was simply a choice that she made , that her decision to run the Rebellion , and ultimately this Resistance , and consider herself a General , as opposed to a Jedi . It was simply a choice that she took '' . He also added , `` I would like to think that there really is n't much of a ticking clock , and it 's never too late ... clearly we 've seen , and we do again , that she still is Force strong . And it 's something that I think is an intrinsic piece of her character . Fisher was nominated for a 2016 Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal . The Last Jedi ( edit ) In December 2015 , producer Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that Fisher would reprise the role of Leia in the next installment , then known as Star Wars : Episode VIII , but later named Star Wars : The Last Jedi . Fisher died on December 27 , 2016 , after going into cardiac arrest . It was confirmed that she had completed filming her role in the film shortly before her death . In the film , Leia is among those on the bridge of her flagship , the Raddus , who are expelled into space when the ship is attacked by the First Order . Leia uses the Force to pull herself back to the ship . After recovering , she shoots and stuns Poe Dameron , who has mutinied against her successor , Vice Admiral Holdo . From his solitude on Ahch - To , Luke projects himself through the Force to the Resistance stronghold on Crait and reunites with Leia , apologizing for what happened to Ben . Leia replies that she knows her son is gone , but Luke reassures her that `` no one 's ever really gone '' . While Luke distracts Kylo and his attacking First Order troops , Leia is among the remaining Resistance forces who escape from Crait in the Millennium Falcon . Episode IX ( edit ) Following Fisher 's death , Variety reported that she was slated to appear in Star Wars : Episode IX and speculated that Lucasfilm would need to find a way to address her death and what would become of her character . Filming began on August 1 , 2018 . Lucasfilm announced in January 2017 that they had `` no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher 's performance as Princess or General Leia Organa '' . In April 2017 , Fisher 's family granted Disney and Lucasfilm the rights to use recent footage of the late actress in Episode IX . However , Kennedy subsequently said that Fisher would not appear in the film . In July 2018 , it was announced that Fisher will indeed be appearing as Leia in Episode IX , using unseen footage from The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi . Anthology films ( edit ) Rogue one : a Star Wars story ( edit ) Leia makes a brief appearance in the final scene of the 2016 film Rogue One , receiving the plans for the Death Star as a lead - up to the beginning of A New Hope . Since this movie takes place prior to the original Star Wars trilogy , a very young Leia was required . To achieve that effect , a computer - generated image of a young Carrie Fisher was superimposed over Norwegian actress Ingvild Deila 's face ; archival audio of Fisher saying `` Hope '' was used to voice the character . Novels ( edit ) Leia makes her first literary appearance in Star Wars : From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker , the novelization of the original 1977 film Star Wars , which was released six months before the film in November 1976 . Credited to Lucas but ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster , the novel was based on Lucas ' screenplay . Leia later appeared in the novelizations The Empire Strikes Back ( 1980 ) by Donald F. Glut and Return of the Jedi ( 1983 ) by James Kahn . She is also a point of view character in the 2015 novelization of The Force Awakens by Foster . Foster 's 1978 novel Splinter of the Mind 's Eye was commissioned by Lucas as the basis for a potential low - budget sequel to Star Wars should the film prove unsuccessful . In the story , Luke and Leia seek a crystal on a swampy planet and eventually face Vader in combat . Leia also appears in the Journey to Star Wars : The Force Awakens line of novels and comic books , introduced in conjunction with The Force Awakens to connect the film with previous installments . She is the lead character in the young adult novel Moving Target : A Princess Leia Adventure ( 2015 ) by Cecil Castellucci and Jason Fry , which is set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi , and Claudia Gray 's novels Star Wars : Bloodline ( 2016 ) and Leia : Princess of Alderaan ( 2017 ) . The former is set six years before The Force Awakens , while the latter features a 16 - year - old Leia before the events of A New Hope . Comics ( edit ) Leia is the lead character in the five - part comic limited series Star Wars : Princess Leia ( 2015 ) , set between Episode IV : A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back . She is featured prominently in the four - part comic limited series Star Wars : Shattered Empire ( 2015 ) , set immediately after Return of the Jedi . In Princess Leia # 2 and Shattered Empire , Leia is seen using her Force sensitivities to sense the past , and in Star Wars # 12 , she uses a lightsaber as a weapon for the first time canonically . Princess Leia reveals Leia to have had royal training in martial arts and explores her reaction to the destruction of Alderaan , while Shattered Empire also portrays her as a skilled pilot who undertakes a dangerous mission alongside Poe Dameron 's mother . Television ( edit ) Star Wars Holiday Special ( edit ) Leia and C - 3PO in The Star Wars Holiday Special Leia appears briefly in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special TV film as a leader and administrator of the new Rebel Alliance base . She and C - 3PO contact Chewbacca 's wife Mallatobuck for assistance in finding Chewbacca and Han . Leia also appears in the cartoon segment at a different Rebel Base , located in an asteroid field , and at the Life Day ceremony at the end of the film . Fisher also appeared in and hosted the November 18 , 1978 episode of Saturday Night Live that aired one day after the holiday special . The Summer 1983 issue of Rolling Stone magazine poked fun at this appearance . Star Wars Rebels ( edit ) A teenage version of Princess Leia , voiced by Julie Dolan , appears in a 2016 episode of the animated series Star Wars Rebels , which is set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope . In the episode , Leia is sent on a secret mission to assist the titular rebels . Executive producer Dave Filoni said of the appearance : We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader , experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in A New Hope . One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire . She does n't believe in the Empire , but she is acting the part , almost a double agent . Star Wars : forces of Destiny ( edit ) Leia appears in the animated series Star Wars : Forces of Destiny , voiced by Shelby Young . Star Wars Resistance ( edit ) Leia will appear in the animated series Star Wars Resistance , voiced by Rachel Butera . Legends works ( edit ) Main article : Star Wars expanded universe The original three Star Wars films have spawned a large franchise of works that include novels , comic books , video games and animated television series . Leia appears in much of this material . In April 2014 ( with the sequel film The Force Awakens in production ) , Lucasfilm separated the Star Wars expanded universe ( rebranded as Star Wars Legends ) from official Star Wars canon . Novels ( edit ) The 1991 New York Times bestselling novel Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn began what would become a large collection of works set before , between and especially after the original films . Post-return of the Jedi ( edit ) The bestselling Thrawn trilogy ( 1991 -- 93 ) by Timothy Zahn begins five years after the events of Return of the Jedi . In Heir to the Empire ( 1991 ) , Leia is married to Han and three months pregnant with twins . Noghri commandos repeatedly attempt to kidnap her as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn 's plan to restore the Empire and crush the New Republic . In Dark Force Rising ( 1992 ) , Leia realizes that Darth Vader and the Empire deceived the Noghri to secure their allegiance , and by revealing the truth she turns the alien race to the side of the New Republic . In The Last Command ( 1993 ) , Leia gives birth to the twins Jaina and Jacen on Coruscant during Thrawn 's siege . Leia , now the Chief of State of the New Republic , is a minor character in the Jedi Academy trilogy ( 1994 ) by Kevin J. Anderson , set after the Thrawn trilogy . Next in the timeline is the Callista trilogy : Children of the Jedi ( 1995 ) by Barbara Hambly , Darksaber ( 1995 ) by Anderson and Planet of Twilight ( 1997 ) by Hambly . In The Crystal Star ( 1994 ) by Vonda McIntyre , young Jacen , Jaina and their three - year - old brother Anakin are kidnapped in a plot to restore the Empire , but are rescued by Leia and Chewbacca . Leia struggles with the responsibilities of her position in The Black Fleet Crisis trilogy ( 1996 ) by Michael P. Kube - McDowell . In The New Rebellion ( 1996 ) by Kristine Kathryn Rusch , she avoids an assassination attempt and then aids in the defeat of the Dark Jedi Kueller , whom she shoots to death . The Corellian trilogy ( 1995 ) by Roger MacBride Allen finds Han and Leia swept up in a civil war while visiting his homeworld of Corellia with their children . In the two Hand of Thrawn novels by Timothy Zahn ( 1997 's Specter of the Past and 1998 's Vision of the Future ) , Leia tries to hold the New Republic together as Moff Disra conspires for its volatile factions to destroy each other . Leia appears periodically in the Young Jedi Knights series ( 1995 -- 98 ) by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta . The 14 - volume young adult fiction series covers the Jedi training of Jacen and Jaina . In The Truce at Bakura ( 1993 ) by Kathy Tyers , set one day after the ending of Return of the Jedi , Leia establishes New Alderaan , a sanctuary for the destroyed planet 's surviving inhabitants . The spirit of Anakin Skywalker appears to Leia and pleads for her forgiveness , but she angrily banishes him .

In Prophets of the Dark Side ( 1993 ) , Leia looks forward to her wedding to Han and has a vision of their two children . Matthew Stover 's 2008 standalone novel Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor picks up the story soon after , as Luke , Leia and the Rebels fight the Sith Lord Shadowspawn . In The Courtship of Princess Leia ( 1994 ) by Dave Wolverton , set immediately before the Thrawn trilogy , Leia is presented with an advantageous political marriage to Prince Isolder of the planet Hapes . A jealous Han abducts Leia and takes her to the planet Dathomir ; Luke and Isolder follow , and there they all find the hidden forces of the Imperial warlord Zsinj . Defeating him , Han and Leia marry . The 2003 novels A Forest Apart and Tatooine Ghost by Troy Denning are set immediately after The Courtship of Princess Leia . The newly married Leia fears that any children she has may succumb to the dark side like her father . During an adventure on Tatooine in Tatooine Ghost , she discovers the diary of her grandmother Shmi Skywalker and meets some of young Anakin 's childhood friends . When she learns of Anakin 's childhood as a slave and the traumatic death of his mother , Leia learns to forgive her father . Works set between films ( edit ) In Shadows of the Empire ( 1996 ) by Steve Perry , the only Star Wars novel set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi , Leia is searching for Boba Fett to find a captive Han . She is bewitched by the crime lord Prince Xizor using pheromones , but Chewbacca helps her elude the seduction . Allegiance ( 2007 ) and Choices of One ( 2011 ) by Timothy Zahn are set between Star Wars : A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back , and feature Leia and her cohorts seeking new allies for their Rebellion against the Empire . Razor 's Edge ( 2013 ) by Martha Wells and Honor Among Thieves ( 2014 ) by James S.A. Corey take place in the same time period and also chronicle the adventures of Leia and Han . New Jedi Order ( edit ) In the New Jedi Order series ( 1999 -- 2003 ) , Leia resigns as Chief of State , and on the heels of her warnings before the Senate , the alien Yuuzhan Vong invade the galaxy . They destroy system after system and defeat both the Jedi and the New Republic forces in countless battles . Chewbacca dies in Vector Prime ( 1999 ) by R.A. Salvatore , which sends Han into a deep depression that causes a rift between him and Leia . They reunite after Leia is gravely wounded at the Battle of Duro in Kathy Tyers ' Balance Point ( 2000 ) . She is targeted by a deadly Voxyn slayer in Troy Dennings ' Star By Star ( 2001 ) , and though she manages to evade death , her son Anakin is later killed during a mission to prevent more Voxyn from being cloned . The Vong are finally defeated in The Unifying Force ( 2003 ) by James Luceno . In Denning 's The Dark Nest trilogy ( 2005 ) , Leia , Han and several Jedi become involved in an escalating border dispute between the Chiss and the insidious insectoid Killiks , and Leia makes a bitter enemy in the Twi'lek warrior Alema Rar . In The Joiner King ( 2005 ) , Leia asks Saba Sebatyne to train her as a Jedi Knight .

Tenel Ka , Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium , has a daughter , Allana , secretly fathered by Jacen . In The Swarm War ( 2005 ) , Luke and Leia view holoclips of their mother 's death , and Leia is promoted to Jedi Knight . Legacy of the Force ( edit ) The bestselling Legacy of the Force series ( 2006 -- 08 ) chronicles the crossover of Han and Leia 's son Jacen to the dark side of the Force while the Jedi , Solos and Skywalkers fight against his growing power . In Betrayal ( 2006 ) by Aaron Allston , Jacen turns to the dark side , believing that it is the only way to save the galaxy from the chaos brewing among the member systems of the Galactic Alliance . Jacen realizes in Bloodlines ( 2006 ) by Karen Traviss that the Sith discipline will require him to kill one of his loved ones , which he decides is an acceptable sacrifice to save the galaxy . In Troy Denning 's Tempest ( 2006 ) , Han and Leia thwart the assassination of Tenel Ka and Allana , but become caught up in a Corellian conspiracy . They are almost killed when the Millennium Falcon is attacked by a Star Destroyer controlled by an increasingly powerful Jacen -- who knows that his parents are on board . With Han injured , Leia and Lando further investigate the Corellians in Aaron Allston 's Exile ( 2007 ) , but Alema reappears to exact her vengeance on Leia .

Leia attempts unsuccessfully to manipulate Jacen in Aaron Allston 's Fury ( 2007 ) so that the Jedi can both thwart him and neutralize Alema . Finally , in Invincible ( 2008 ) by Troy Denning , Jaina kills Jacen in lightsaber duel . At Tenel Ka 's request , Leia and Han adopt Allana , disguised with the name `` Amelia '' to protect her from any future vengeance against Cadeus or the Hapes Consortium . Multiple novels in the series made the New York Times Best Seller list . The nine - volume Fate of the Jedi series ( 2009 -- 12 ) by Aaron Allston , Troy Denning and Christie Golden finds Han and Leia become caught up in the intensifying conflict between the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi . In the wake of Darth Cadeus ' death , the now - peaceful Galactic Alliance harbors a growing mistrust toward the Jedi , and the situation is worsened by a Force - induced psychosis that begins afflicting individual Jedi , sending them on violent rampages . In Millennium Falcon ( 2008 ) by James Luceno , set between Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi , a mysterious device hidden inside the eponymous spacecraft sends Han , Leia and Allana on an adventure to investigate the ship 's past before it came into Han 's possession . Troy Denning 's Crucible ( 2013 ) , set after Fate of the Jedi and the last novel to date in the Star Wars Legends chronology , reunites Leia , Han and Luke with Lando as they aid him to thwart a vast criminal enterprise threatening his asteroid mineral refinery in the Chilean Rift nebula . Comics ( edit ) Dark Empire ( edit ) During the events of the comic series Dark Empire ( 1991 -- 92 ) , Palpatine has been resurrected in a young clone body and seduces Luke to the dark side of the Force as part of his plan to restore the Empire . A captive Leia , resisting Palpatine 's attempts to turn her as well , escapes with an artifact he needs to secure his power , the Jedi Holocron . Luke pursues her , and Leia manages to turn him back . Brother and sister then fight Palpatine with the light side of the Force , turning his own Force - generated storm against him and destroying Palpatine and his Star Destroyer . In Dark Empire II ( 1994 -- 95 ) , Leia gives birth to a third child by Han , whom she names Anakin . Palpatine is reborn in an inferior , rapidly deteriorating clone body in Empire 's End ( 1995 ) , and seeks to possess the body of the infant Anakin . Cultural impact ( edit ) Princess Leia cosplay ( Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim , California , April 2015 ) Princess Leia has been called a 1980s icon , a feminist hero and `` an exemplary personification of female empowerment '' . In 2008 , Leia was selected by Empire magazine as the 89th greatest film character of all time , and IGN listed her as their 8th top Star Wars hero . UGO Networks listed Leia as one of their best heroes of all time in 2010 . The character has been referenced or parodied in several TV shows and films , and celebrated in cosplay . Fisher appeared in the Leia metal bikini on the cover of the Summer 1983 issue of Rolling Stone , and a painting of Leia and other characters surrounding Lucas appeared on the cover of the May 25 , 1983 issue of Time announcing Return of the Jedi . In 2013 , cartoonist Jeffrey Brown published the bestselling Star Wars : Vader 's Little Princess , a comic strip - style book featuring Darth Vader and a young Leia in humorous father - daughter situations . Princess Leia appears on a 2007 US postage stamp and a 2015 UK stamp . Leia has also been used in a wide range of Star Wars merchandise , including statuettes , action figures and other toys , household items and clothing , office supplies , food products , and bubble bath and shampoo in Leia - shaped bottles with her head as the cap . In her one - woman show Wishful Drinking , Fisher called the Princess Leia Pez dispenser one of the `` merchandising horrors '' of the series . In a 2011 interview , Fisher said : I signed away my likeness for free . In those days , there was no such thing as a `` likeness '' ... There was no merchandising tied to movies . No one could have known the extent of the franchise . Not that I do n't think I 'm cute or anything , but when I looked in the mirror , I did n't think I was signing away anything of value . Lately I feel like I 'm Minnie Mouse -- the identity of Princess Leia so eclipses any other identity that I 've ever had . After the 2012 acquisition of LucasFilm by the Walt Disney Company , the Disney Store stated in May 2014 that the company had `` no plans for Leia products '' . After public criticism , Disney told Time in June 2014 that it would be releasing several Leia products . Funko has since produced several versions of Leia ( at least one for each film ) in their POP ! line of 4.5 inch vinyl figures in the Japanese super deformed style . Hasbro is set to release an action figure of Leia as she appears in the Star Wars Rebels animated series . `` Cinnamon buns '' hairstyle ( edit ) Hopi girl with `` squash blossom '' hairdo ( Edward S. Curtis , 1922 ) Lady of Elche Leia 's unique hairdo in 1977 's A New Hope has come to be known as the `` doughnut '' or `` cinnamon buns '' hairstyle , and is iconic of the character and series . A February 1978 cover story for the British teen magazine Jackie included step - by - step instructions on how to replicate Leia 's hair buns . In the 1978 short film parody Hardware Wars , Princess Anne - Droid has actual cinnamon buns on the side of her head . Miss Piggy of The Muppet Show copied the hairdo in a Star Wars - themed episode of the series in February 1980 . In the 1987 Mel Brooks comedy film Spaceballs , Princess Vespa ( Daphne Zuniga ) appears to have the hairstyle , which is soon revealed to in fact be a large pair of headphones . In the parody film Thumb Wars , the role of Leia was filled by a character named Princess Bunhead , who has two cinnamon rolls for hair . In 2015 , Fisher 's daughter Billie Lourd 's character in the horror - comedy TV series Scream Queens , a rich and disaffected sorority girl known as Chanel No. 3 , wears earmuffs in every scene as an homage to Fisher 's iconic Leia hairstyle . Lourd also has a cameo in The Force Awakens ( 2015 ) in which she wears Leia 's distinctive hair buns . Asked about his inspiration for the hairstyle , George Lucas told Time in 2008 , `` In the 1977 film , I was working very hard to create something different that was n't fashion , so I went with a kind of Southwestern Pancho Villa woman revolutionary look , which is what that is . The buns are basically from turn - of - the - century Mexico . '' However , in 2015 Linda Rodriguez McRobbie of Mental Floss recounted research suggesting that while female Mexican revolutionaries of that time did not have such elaborate hairstyles , young marriageable Hopi women did , and their `` squash blossom whorls '' superficially resemble Leia 's hair buns . McRobbie also relates Michael Heilemann 's theory that Leia 's hairstyle was likely also inspired by that of two earlier characters : Queen Fria in the 1939 Flash Gordon comic strip `` The Ice Kingdom of Mongo '' , and scientist Barnes Wallis ' wife Molly ( played by Ursula Jeans ) in the 1955 war film The Dam Busters . Lucas was influenced by the Flash Gordon serials , and the Battle of Yavin in Star Wars is an homage to the penultimate bombing sequence in The Dam Busters . Comparisons have also been made to the 4th century BC Iberian sculpture Lady of Elche , as well as the 1920s `` earphones '' hairstyle . Feminist analysis ( edit ) Leia has been the subject of feminist analysis . Mark Edlitz wrote for The Huffington Post in 2010 that `` Leia is an exemplary personification of female empowerment . '' David Bushman , television curator at the Paley Center for Media , said in 2012 , `` From the male perspective ... Princess Leia was a very creditable character for her time -- not perfect , but certainly defiant , assertive , and strong . '' Alyssa Rosenberg of The Washington Post wrote in 2015 , `` Leia was n't just the first great heroine of science fiction and fantasy to capture my imagination . She was one of the first characters I encountered whose power came from her political conviction and acumen . '' In her 2007 article `` Feminism and the Force : Empowerment and Disillusionment in a Galaxy Far , Far Away '' , Diana Dominguez cited Leia as a welcome change from the previous portrayals of women in film and TV . She wrote : Here was a woman who could play like and with the boys , but who did n't have to become one of the boys and who could , if and when she wanted to , show she liked the boys , a woman who is outspoken , unashamed , and , most importantly , unpunished for being so . She is n't a flirty sex - pot , tossing her hair around seductively to distract the enemy ... She does n't play the role of `` Maternal caretaker '' , although she does display caring and compassion , or `` the sweet innocent damsel '' who stands passively by while the men do all the work , but does step aside to let them do what they 're good at when it is wise to do so ... Leia is a hero without losing her gendered status ; she does not have to play the cute , helpless sex kitten or become sexless and androgynous to get what she wants . She can be strong , sassy , outspoken , bossy , and bitchy , and still be respected and seen as feminine . Rosenberg writes that , though at first Luke is an apolitical innocent in search of adventure and Han is a detached opportunist in search of money , both are `` influenced by Leia 's passion ( and ) take their places as full participants in the Rebellion '' . She notes , `` Everyone else eventually comes around to Leia 's view of the world . '' Leia herself , singularly dedicated to her political movement against the Empire , `` finds a partner in Han , acknowledging that personal happiness can help her sustain her commitment to building a better galactic order '' . Rosenberg cites `` Leia 's willingness to see the best in him , and Han 's desire to live up to her belief in him '' as a foundation of their relationship , also pointing out his attempts to make her recognize that she has needs like anyone else and should acknowledge that she needs him . In their 2012 essay `` Lightsabers , Political Arenas , and Marriages '' , Ray Merlock and Kathy Merlock Jackson cite Leia as the successor of earlier science fiction heroines Wilma Deering of Buck Rogers and Dale Arden of Flash Gordon , and the embodiment of `` a new stage in the ongoing presentation of the fairy - tale princess in jeopardy '' . Writing that `` after Leia , no longer would princesses be passive and salvaged simply with a kiss , '' they note the reflection of the character in later Disney Princess animated films and in woman warriors such as Ellen Ripley from the Alien franchise and Xena of the adventure TV series Xena : Warrior Princess . A.O. Scott of The New York Times described Leia as `` a foremother of Hermione Granger and Katniss Everdeen and of countless latter - day Disney princesses . She also foretold the recent , somewhat belated feminist turn in the Star Wars cycle itself '' . Fisher herself described Leia as a `` huge '' feminist icon , dismissing the suggestion that the character was ever a `` damsel in distress '' . Fisher said of Leia , `` She bossed them around . I do n't know what your idea of distress is , but that was n't it ! And I was n't some babe running through the galaxy with my tits bouncing around . So I was n't threatening to women '' , adding `` I like Princess Leia . I like how she was feisty . I like how she killed Jabba the Hutt '' . Metal bikini ( edit ) Main article : Princess Leia 's bikini Princess Leia 's slave costume from Episode VI Actress Olivia Munn cosplaying in the iconic Princess Leia `` metal bikini '' slave outfit from Return of the Jedi Leia 's slave costume when she is held captive by Jabba the Hutt at the beginning of Return of the Jedi -- made of brass and dubbed Leia 's `` Metal Bikini '' or `` Gold Bikini '' -- immediately made the character ( and Fisher ) a `` generational sex symbol '' celebrated by pin - up posters , and later merchandising and cosplay . The outfit has gained a cult following of its own . Rosenberg noted that `` the costume has become culturally iconic in a way that has slipped loose from the context of the scenes in which Leia wore it and the things she does after she is forced into the outfit . '' Philip Chien of the website Wired wrote in 2006 , `` There 's no doubt that the sight of Carrie Fisher in the gold sci - fi swimsuit was burned into the sweaty subconscious of a generation of fanboys hitting puberty in the spring of 1983 . '' Acknowledging the opinion of some that the `` Slave Leia '' iconography tarnishes the character 's position as `` feminist hero '' , Rosenberg argues : Leia may be captive in these scenes , but she 's not exactly a compliant fantasy . Instead , she 's biding her time for the moment when she can put that fury into action , carrying out a carefully laid plan to rescue her lover . And when that moment comes , the bikini does n't condemn Leia to passivity . She rises , and uses the very chains that bind her to strangle the creature who tried to take away her power by turning her into a sex object . Science fiction filmmaker Letia Clouston concurs , saying `` Sci - fi has had a long history of strong female characters . Yes , Princess Leia was in a gold bikini , but she was also the one who single - handedly killed Jabba . When you take into account movies and TV shows like Terminator , Aliens , Battlestar Galactica , and even video games like Metroid , you can see sci - fi has consistently promoted the strength of women more than any other genre .

when is it revealed that luke and leia are siblings
[ "Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan (also Senator Leia Organa or General Leia Organa) is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, portrayed in films by Carrie Fisher. Introduced in the original Star Wars film in 1977, Leia is princess of the planet Alderaan, a member of the Imperial Senate and an agent of the Rebel Alliance. She thwarts the sinister Sith Lord Darth Vader and helps bring about the destruction of the Empire's cataclysmic superweapon, the Death Star. In The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Leia commands a Rebel base and evades Vader as she falls in love with the smuggler, Han Solo. In Return of the Jedi (1983), Leia leads the operation to rescue Han from the crime lord Jabba the Hutt, and is revealed to be Vader's daughter and the twin sister of Luke Skywalker. The prequel film Revenge of the Sith (2005) establishes that the twins' mother is Senator (and former queen) Padmé Amidala of Naboo, who dies after childbirth. Leia is adopted by Senator Bail and Queen Breha Organa of Alderaan. In The Force Awakens (2015) and The Last Jedi (2017), Leia is the founder and General of the Resistance against the First Order. She and Han have a son named Ben, who adopted the name Kylo Ren after turning to the dark side of the Force.\n" ]

Deaths 59 ( including the perpetrator ) Non-fatal injuries 546 Perpetrator Stephen Paddock On the night of October 1 , 2017 , a gunman opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada , leaving 58 people dead and 546 injured . Between 10 : 05 and 10 : 15 p.m. PDT , 64 - year - old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite , Nevada , fired hundreds of rifle rounds from his suite on the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel . About an hour after Paddock fired his last shot into the crowd , he was found dead in his room from a self - inflicted gunshot wound . His motive is unknown . The incident is the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual and the deadliest mass murder post-9 / 11 in the United States . The shooting reignited the debate about gun laws in the U.S. with attention focused on bump fire stocks , which Paddock used to allow his semi-automatic rifles to fire at a rate similar to that of a fully automatic weapon . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 1.1 Location 1.2 Preparation 2 Shooting 2.1 Misinformation 3 Casualties 4 Perpetrator 5 Aftermath and reactions 5.1 Hoaxes 6 See also 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links Background Location The Las Vegas Strip is a stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard in Clark County , Nevada , immediately south of the City of Las Vegas . It is known for its concentration of casinos and resort hotels , including the 43 - story Mandalay Bay southeast of its intersection with Mandalay Bay Road , in the unincorporated town of Paradise . Diagonally across the intersection to the northeast is Las Vegas Village , a 15 - acre ( 6.1 - hectare ) lot used for outdoor performances . The annual Route 91 Harvest country music festival was held there since 2014 ; 2017 's festival ran from September 29 to October 1 . Preparation Paddock may have researched the possibility of attacking other outdoor concerts . He reserved a room that overlooked the August 2017 Lollapalooza festival in Chicago , but did not use it . He appears to have stayed in Downtown Las Vegas from September 14 until the night of the shooting . Between the 22nd and 24th , he rented rooms at The Ogden , which overlooked the open - air Life Is Beautiful festival . On September 25 , 2017 , Paddock arrived at the Mandalay Bay hotel and booked into a comped room . Three days later , he moved to the 32nd floor suite , which overlooked Las Vegas Village . He placed a `` Do not disturb '' sign on the door , organized the room , and stockpiled an arsenal of weapons . Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Paddock carried more than ten suitcases into his hotel suite during his preparation for the shooting . A bump fire stock , showing how the trigger ( red ) is pulled by the trigger finger when the receiver is moved forward . It is reset when the receiver moves back due to recoil . Twenty - three firearms , a large quantity of ammunition , and numerous high - capacity magazines capable of holding up to 100 rounds apiece were found in the suite . The firearms included four DDM4 rifles , three FN - 15 rifles , one AR - 15 rifle with forward front grip , one . 308 - caliber AR - 10 rifle , one Kalashnikov , and at least one made - to - order LMT rifle and one handgun . Two of the rifles were equipped with telescopic sights and mounted on bipods . Bump fire stocks were found on twelve of the guns , which allowed for recoil to actuate their triggers at a rate of 90 bullets in 10 seconds . The Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives determined that the firearms found in his hotel room , along with more guns found in his homes , were legal and had been legally purchased in the states of Nevada , California , Texas , and Utah . In the month preceding the shooting , he had attempted to purchase a large quantity of tracer ammunition , but the gun dealer he approached did not have the item in stock . Investigators found hidden surveillance cameras that were placed inside and outside the hotel room , presumably so Paddock could monitor the arrival of others . The cameras were not in record mode . Police said a handwritten note found in the room indicated Paddock had been calculating the distance , wind , and trajectory from his 32nd floor hotel suite to the concertgoers he was targeting on the festival lot . At a press conference on October 4 , Sheriff Lombardo stated there was evidence -- which he declined to discuss -- that Paddock intended to escape the scene , and that he may have had assistance from an accomplice . Investigators searched Paddock 's room and found a bulletproof vest and breathing apparatus , which were survival gear that Paddock never used . During subsequent investigations , ammonium nitrate , which is often used in improvised explosive devices , was found in the trunk of his Hyundai Tucson SUV , along with 1,600 rounds of ammunition and 50 pounds ( 23 kg ) of Tannerite , a binary explosive used to make explosive targets for gun ranges . Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said that while Paddock had `` nefarious intent '' with the material , he did not appear to have assembled an explosive device . Shooting Schematic of the shooting scene . Paddock fired 490 yards ( 450 m ) from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel towards the concertgoers at Las Vegas Village . The mass shooting occurred between 10 : 05 and 10 : 15 p.m. PDT on October 1 , 2017 , which was the third and final night of the festival . When the shooting began , country music singer Jason Aldean was giving the closing performance before an audience of about 22,000 . Shortly before 10 p.m. , hotel security guard Jesus Campos was sent to the 32nd floor to investigate an open - door alert . He encountered a barricaded door that prevented him from immediately accessing the floor . After arriving on the floor , he heard drilling from Paddock 's room and went to investigate . At approximately 10 : 05 he was hit in the right thigh by one of about 200 bullets which Paddock fired through his suite 's door . After Campos was hit he immediately informed the hotel by radio and cellphone that he had been shot . At the same time , maintenance worker Stephen Schuck was on the same floor to check out a report about a jammed fire door . Campos , who was already injured , encountered Schuck and told him to take cover . Schuck contacted hotel dispatchers over his radio , informed them of the ongoing shooting , and told them to call the police . Neither Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department nor MGM Resorts International , the Mandalay Bay 's owner , have confirmed when information about the initial shooting was relayed to the police . Paddock 's room at Mandalay Bay Main stage of Route 91 Harvest Airport fuel tanks Paddock used a hammer to break two of his suite 's windows and began shooting through them at 10 : 05 p.m. , ultimately firing hundreds of rifle rounds approximately 490 yards ( 450 m ) into the festival audience . Many people in the crowd initially mistook the gunfire for fireworks . During the shooting , a security fence hindered concertgoers from fleeing the 15 - acre concrete lot . The gunfire continued , with some momentary pauses , over the span of ten minutes and ended by 10 : 15 p.m. Two of the bullets fired by Paddock struck a large aviation fuel tank at McCarran International Airport 2,000 feet ( 600 m ) away . One of the bullets penetrated the tank , but the fuel did not ignite or explode , and was unlikely to have done so . During the shooting , police officers were initially confused whether the shots were coming from the Mandalay Bay , the nearby Luxor hotel , or the festival grounds . There were also multiple false reports of additional shooters at other hotels on the Strip . Officers eventually spotted multiple flashes of gunfire in the middle of the Mandalay Bay , on the northern side , and responded to the hotel . At 10 : 12 p.m. , two officers on the 31st floor reported the sounds of gunfire on the floor above them . When officers arrived on the 32nd floor at 10 : 17 p.m. and encountered Campos a minute later , he directed them to Paddock 's room and helped others evacuate . Campos was then directed to seek medical attention for himself . Between 10 : 26 and 10 : 30 p.m. , an additional eight officers arrived at the 32nd floor . They could no longer hear gunfire and moved systematically down the hallway , searching and clearing each room , using a master key that was provided by Campos . At 10 : 55 p.m. , the officers finished evacuating guests . At 11 : 20 p.m. , police breached Paddock 's room with explosives . Paddock was found dead , having shot himself in the head before the police entered . While entering the hotel suite , an officer accidentally fired off a round from his weapon , which hit no one . At 11 : 27 p.m. , officers announced over the police radio that one suspect was down . Early on October 2 , Sheriff Lombardo identified the suspect as Stephen Paddock . Misinformation There have been several changes in the official account and timeline of Paddock 's shooting of hotel security guard Campos . Police officials described these adjustments as `` minute changes '' that are common in complex investigations . In a first statement about the incident , police officials inaccurately reported that Campos arrived on the scene after Paddock began firing into the crowd . In a second statement , police officials reported , again inaccurately , that Campos was shot six minutes before Paddock began firing into the crowd . That report had been based on a 9 : 59 p.m. notation in a hotel security log , which in a third statement was determined to have been the time when Campos encountered the barricaded door . Sheriff Lombardo dismissed allegations that the changing timeline is the result of some kind of conspiracy between the police department , the FBI , and MGM Resorts International saying `` Nobody is attempting to hide anything in reference to this investigation . The dynamics and the size of this investigation requires us to go through voluminous amounts of information in order to draw an accurate picture . '' Casualties Fifty - eight people ( excluding Paddock ) died as a result of the shooting , most by gunshot wounds . They included 36 women and 22 men . The oldest was 67 , the youngest 20 . Six were from Nevada , 35 from California , 13 from other states , and four from Canada . An additional 546 people were injured . In the aftermath , many victims were sent to area hospitals , which included University Medical Center of Southern Nevada , Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center , and at least one of the six hospitals of Valley Health System . The incident is the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in the United States , surpassing the death toll of the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting , where 49 died , excluding the gunman . Perpetrator Main article : Stephen Paddock Stephen Craig Paddock ( April 9 , 1953 -- October 1 , 2017 ) was a former auditor and real estate businessman , who had been living in a retirement community in Mesquite , Nevada . Paddock was a high - stakes gambler who placed bets at a high enough level to earn valuable comps -- free benefits such as rooms and meals . He was a familiar figure to casino hosts in Las Vegas , but was not well known among other high - stakes gamblers since he mostly played video poker . He reportedly kept to himself and was a heavy drinker . Police said he had made casino transactions in the tens of thousands of dollars prior to the shooting , but did not specify whether these transactions were losses or wins . Sheriff Lombardo said Paddock had lost a significant amount of his wealth over the previous two years , which might have been a `` determining factor '' in the attack , but added that his motive may never truly be understood . Court records show Paddock married and divorced twice . He had no known children . Paddock 's father was Benjamin Hoskins Paddock , a bank robber who was on the FBI 's most - wanted list between 1969 and 1977 , and whose wanted poster stated he had been `` diagnosed as psychopathic '' and reportedly had `` suicidal tendencies '' . Police believe Paddock acted alone and have not determined his motive , despite following more than a thousand leads . His younger brother and others who were in close contact with him described him as having no apparent religious or political affiliation . Police said they had no investigative information or criminal history indicating that he was dangerous . His only recorded interaction with law enforcement was a minor traffic citation years before the shooting , which he settled in court . Aftermath and reactions The Las Vegas sign adorned with flowers on October 9 , 2017 , a week after the shooting Much of Las Vegas Boulevard was closed as police SWAT teams combed the venue and neighboring businesses . McCarran International Airport , adjacent to the shooting site , was shut down for several hours . Approximately 300 people entered the airport property as they fled to safety from the shooting . This prompted officials to shut down all four runways . More than 25 flights were rerouted to ensure that no aircraft would be hit by gunfire , while other flights were canceled before airfield operations resumed at 12 : 40 a.m. on October 2 . At approximately 2 : 45 p.m. PDT on October 2 , a state of emergency was declared in Clark County . The morning after the shooting , lines to donate blood in Las Vegas stretched for blocks . Wait times were as much as six hours or more . Millions of dollars have also been raised to help victims and their families . Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval called the shooting `` a tragic and heinous act of violence that has shaken the Nevada family '' . Jason Aldean , who was performing when the shooting started , posted his condolences on Instagram and noted all of those working with him at the show had survived the attack . At a press conference , President Donald Trump described Paddock as `` a very very sick individual '' , and `` a demented man , ( with ) a lot of problems '' . He added , `` the police department has done such an incredible job , and we 'll be talking about gun laws as time goes by '' . A White House official talking points memo , distributed to Trump allies , opposed tightening gun control since `` new laws wo n't stop a mad man '' , but `` will curtail the freedoms of law abiding citizens '' . On October 2 , Trump issued a proclamation to honor the victims and their families . On October 4 , Trump visited the shooting victims and first responders . On October 7 , Vice President Mike Pence participated in a unity prayer walk and ceremony in Las Vegas in honor of the dead . The terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIS ) claimed that Paddock was their `` soldier '' , and that he had answered Abu Bakr al - Baghdadi 's call to attack coalition countries , but an FBI agent said they had found `` no connection with an international terrorist group . '' ISIS provided no evidence for its claim , and terrorism experts noted that since Mosul liberation in October 2016 , ISIS or Amaq News Agency has on at least two other occasions made false claims of responsibility for attacks with which they had no connection . President Trump meets a Las Vegas shooting victim Stock prices of firearms manufacturers rose the day after the shooting , as has happened after similar incidents . Investors expect gun sales will increase over concerns that such an event could lead to more stringent gun - control legislation and a rush of customers wishing to defend themselves against future attacks . The shooting prompted support in the U.S. Congress for legislation that would ban bump fire stocks . The National Rifle Association ( NRA ) came out in favor of administrative bump fire stock regulations . Some Congressional Republicans have also expressed their support of a prohibition of bump fire stocks . The name `` 1 October '' was declared the official title of the mass shooting for investigators , according to authorities with the Clark County Commissioner . The future of the Las Vegas Village site remains undetermined . Hoaxes In the hours after the shooting , false information about the shooter 's identity and motive went viral on social media . The fake news was circulated in Internet forums such as 4chan . The website The Gateway Pundit misidentified the shooter when they named a different man and described him as a registered Democrat . The 4chan thread on which this misinformation was based was briefly featured in the `` Top Stories '' section of a Google search for the man 's name . The fake news website YourNewsWire spread false information about a second gunman who was shooting from the fourth floor of the hotel . Two of Facebook 's top trending pages were items from Sputnik , a Russian government news agency . These included one story that falsely claimed the FBI had linked the shooter to a terrorist group . The stories were later removed with an apology . Stories linking the shooter to Antifa have also been discredited . Google and Facebook were criticized for displaying such false news stories in some of their search results . The two technology companies were said to have failed in their responsibility of keeping false stories from reaching the public . Facebook later said its algorithms were designed to detect and remove false stories , but failed to work adequately in this instance . An October 2017 article in The Wall Street Journal referenced the shooting and stated , `` After searches on YouTube about the mass shooting this month in Las Vegas surfaced videos peddling conspiracy theories , the site said it was tweaking its search algorithm to promote more authoritative news sources . '' Survivors of the shooting have received death threats on social media , along with accusations of being paid actors .

Nobel Peace Prize
Nobel Peace Prize - wikipedia Nobel Peace Prize Nobel Peace Prize Awarded for Outstanding contributions in peace Location Oslo , Norway Presented by Norwegian Nobel Committee on behalf of the estate of Alfred Nobel Reward ( s ) 9 million SEK ( 2017 ) First awarded 10 December 1901 ; 116 years ago ( 1901 - 12 - 10 ) Currently held by International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons ( 2017 ) Most awards International Committee of the Red Cross ( 3 ) Website Nobelprize.org The Nobel Peace Prize ( Swedish : Nobels fredspris ) is one of the five Nobel Prizes created by the Swedish industrialist , inventor , and armaments manufacturer Alfred Nobel , along with the prizes in Chemistry , Physics , Physiology or Medicine , and Literature . Since March 1901 , it has been awarded annually ( with some exceptions ) to those who have `` done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations , for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses '' . As per Alfred Nobel 's will , the recipient is selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee , a five - member committee appointed by the Parliament of Norway . Since 1990 , the prize is awarded on 10 December in Oslo City Hall each year . The prize was formerly awarded in the Atrium of the University of Oslo Faculty of Law ( 1947 -- 89 ) , the Norwegian Nobel Institute ( 1905 -- 46 ) , and the Parliament ( 1901 -- 04 ) . Due to its political ideology and interferences , the Nobel Peace Prize has , for most of its history , been the subject of controversies . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Nomination and selection 2.1 Nomination 2.2 Selection 3 Awarding the prize 4 Criticism 4.1 Criticism of individual conferments 4.2 Notable omissions 5 List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Background ( edit ) Alfred Nobel According to Nobel 's will , the Peace Prize shall be awarded to the person who in the preceding year `` shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations , for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses '' . Alfred Nobel 's will further specified that the prize be awarded by a committee of five people chosen by the Norwegian Parliament . Nobel died in 1896 and he did not leave an explanation for choosing peace as a prize category . As he was a trained chemical engineer , the categories for chemistry and physics were obvious choices . The reasoning behind the peace prize is less clear . According to the Norwegian Nobel Committee , his friendship with Bertha von Suttner , a peace activist and later recipient of the prize , profoundly influenced his decision to include peace as a category . Some Nobel scholars suggest it was Nobel 's way to compensate for developing destructive forces . His inventions included dynamite and ballistite , both of which were used violently during his lifetime . Ballistite was used in war and the Irish Republican Brotherhood , an Irish nationalist organization , carried out dynamite attacks in the 1880s . Nobel was also instrumental in turning Bofors from an iron and steel producer into an armaments company . It is unclear why Nobel wished the Peace Prize to be administered in Norway , which was ruled in union with Sweden at the time of Nobel 's death . The Norwegian Nobel Committee speculates that Nobel may have considered Norway better suited to awarding the prize , as it did not have the same militaristic traditions as Sweden . It also notes that at the end of the 19th century , the Norwegian parliament had become closely involved in the Inter-Parliamentary Union 's efforts to resolve conflicts through mediation and arbitration . Nomination and selection ( edit ) The Norwegian Nobel Institute in Oslo , Norway The Norwegian Parliament appoints the Norwegian Nobel Committee , which selects the Nobel Peace Prize laureate . Nomination ( edit ) Each year , the Norwegian Nobel Committee specifically invites qualified people to submit nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize . The statutes of the Nobel Foundation specify categories of individuals who are eligible to make nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize . These nominators are : Members of national assemblies and governments and members of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the International Court of Justice at the Hague Members of Institut de Droit International University professors of history , social sciences , philosophy , law , and theology , university presidents , and directors of peace research and international affairs institutes Former recipients , including board members of organizations that have previously received the prize Present and past members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee Former permanent advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Institute The 14th Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu , Nobel Peace Prize laureates Nominations must usually be submitted to the Committee by the beginning of February in the award year . Nominations by committee members can be submitted up to the date of the first Committee meeting after this deadline . In 2009 , a record 205 nominations were received , but the record was broken again in 2010 with 237 nominations ; in 2011 , the record was broken once again with 241 nominations . The statutes of the Nobel Foundation do not allow information about nominations , considerations , or investigations relating to awarding the prize to be made public for at least 50 years after a prize has been awarded . Over time , many individuals have become known as `` Nobel Peace Prize Nominees '' , but this designation has no official standing , and means only that one of the thousands of eligible nominators suggested the person 's name for consideration . Indeed , in 1939 , Adolf Hitler received a satirical nomination from a member of the Swedish parliament , mocking the ( serious but unsuccessful ) nomination of Neville Chamberlain . Nominations from 1901 to 1956 , however , have been released in a database . Selection ( edit ) Nominations are considered by the Nobel Committee at a meeting where a short list of candidates for further review is created . This short list is then considered by permanent advisers to the Nobel institute , which consists of the Institute 's Director and the Research Director and a small number of Norwegian academics with expertise in subject areas relating to the prize . Advisers usually have some months to complete reports , which are then considered by the Committee to select the laureate . The Committee seeks to achieve a unanimous decision , but this is not always possible . The Nobel Committee typically comes to a conclusion in mid-September , but occasionally the final decision has not been made until the last meeting before the official announcement at the beginning of October . Awarding the Prize ( edit ) Obverse of the Nobel Peace Prize Medal presented to Sir Ralph Norman Angell in 1933 ; the Imperial War Museum , London The Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee presents the Nobel Peace Prize in the presence of the King of Norway on 10 December each year ( the anniversary of Nobel 's death ) . The Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize not presented in Stockholm . The Nobel laureate receives a diploma , a medal , and a document confirming the prize amount . As of 2013 , the prize was worth 10 million SEK ( about US $1.5 million ) . Since 1990 , the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony is held at Oslo City Hall . From 1947 to 1989 , the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony was held in the Atrium of the University of Oslo Faculty of Law , a few hundred metres from Oslo City Hall . Between 1905 and 1946 , the ceremony took place at the Norwegian Nobel Institute . From 1901 to 1904 , the ceremony took place in the Storting ( Parliament ) . Criticism ( edit ) It has been expressed that the Peace Prize has been awarded in politically motivated ways for more recent or immediate achievements , or with the intention of encouraging future achievements . Some commentators have suggested that to award a peace prize on the basis of unquantifiable contemporary opinion is unjust or possibly erroneous , especially as many of the judges can not themselves be said to be impartial observers . In 2011 , a feature story in the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten contended that major criticisms of the award were that the Norwegian Nobel Committee ought to recruit members from professional and international backgrounds , rather than retired members of parliament ; that there is too little openness about the criteria that the committee uses when they choose a recipient of the prize ; and that the adherence to Nobel 's will should be more strict . In the article , Norwegian historian Øivind Stenersen argues that Norway has been able to use the prize as an instrument for nation building and furthering Norway 's foreign policy and economic interests . In another 2011 Aftenposten opinion article , the grandson of one of Nobel 's two brothers , Michael Nobel , also criticised what he believed to be the politicisation of the award , claiming that the Nobel Committee has not always acted in accordance with Nobel 's will . Norwegian lawyer Fredrik S. Heffermehl has criticized the management of the Peace Prize . Criticism of individual conferments ( edit ) Main article : Nobel Prize controversies Barack Obama with Thorbjørn Jagland at the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony From left - to - right , Yasser Arafat , Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin receiving the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize following the Oslo Accords Nobel Peace Prize 2001 United Nations - diploma in the lobby of the United Nations Headquarters in New York City The awards given to Mikhail Gorbachev , Yitzhak Rabin , Shimon Peres , Menachem Begin and Yasser Arafat , Lê Đức Thọ , Henry Kissinger , Jimmy Carter , Al Gore , IPCC , Liu Xiaobo , Aung San Suu Kyi Barack Obama , and the European Union have all been the subject of controversy . The awards given to Lê Đức Thọ and Henry Kissinger prompted two dissenting Committee members to resign . Thọ refused to accept the prize , on the grounds that such `` bourgeois sentimentalities '' were not for him and that peace had not actually been achieved in Vietnam . Kissinger donated his prize money to charity , did not attend the award ceremony and would later offer to return his prize medal after the fall of South Vietnam to North Vietnamese forces 18 months later . Notable Omissions ( edit ) Foreign Policy has listed Mahatma Gandhi , Eleanor Roosevelt , U Thant , Václav Havel , Ken Saro - Wiwa , Fazle Hasan Abed , and Corazon Aquino as people who `` never won the prize , but should have '' . Many believe that the prize should have gone to Pope John Paul II , Hélder Câmara , , Zilda Arns and Dorothy Day . Both Eleanor Roosevelt and Dorothy Day were recipients of the Gandhi Peace Award . The omission of Mahatma Gandhi has been particularly widely discussed , including in public statements by various members of the Nobel Committee . The Committee has confirmed that Gandhi was nominated in 1937 , 1938 , 1939 , 1947 , and , finally , a few days before his assassination in January 1948 . The omission has been publicly regretted by later members of the Nobel Committee . Geir Lundestad , Secretary of Norwegian Nobel Committee in 2006 said , `` The greatest omission in our 106 - year history is undoubtedly that Mahatma Gandhi never received the Nobel Peace prize . Gandhi could do without the Nobel Peace prize , whether Nobel committee can do without Gandhi is the question '' . In 1948 , following Gandhi 's death , the Nobel Committee declined to award a prize on the ground that `` there was no suitable living candidate '' that year . Later , when the Dalai Lama was awarded the Peace Prize in 1989 , the chairman of the committee said that this was `` in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi '' . List of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates ( edit ) Main article : List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates As of 2016 , the Peace Prize has been awarded to 104 individuals and 23 organizations . Sixteen women have won the Nobel Peace Prize , more than any other Nobel Prize . Only two recipients have won multiple Prizes : the International Committee of the Red Cross has won three times ( 1917 , 1944 , and 1963 ) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has won twice ( 1954 and 1981 ) . Lê Đức Thọ is the only person who refused to accept the Nobel Peace Prize .

( March 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Alfred Binet Alfred Binet July 8 , 1857 ( 1857 - 07 - 08 ) Nice , France October 18 , 1911 ( 1911 - 10 - 18 ) ( aged 54 ) Paris , France Nationality French Known for Stanford -- Binet Intelligence Scales Binet -- Simon test Spouse ( s ) Laure Balbiani Scientific career Fields Psychology Influences John Stuart Mill Influenced Jean Piaget Alfred Binet ( French : ( binɛ ) ; July 8 , 1857 -- October 18 , 1911 ) was a French psychologist who invented the first practical IQ test , the Binet -- Simon test . In 1904 , the French Ministry of Education asked psychologist Alfred Binet to devise a method that would determine which students did not learn effectively from regular classroom instruction so they could be given remedial work . Along with his collaborator Théodore Simon , Binet published revisions of his test in 1908 and 1911 , the last of which appeared just before his death . Contents ( hide ) 1 Biography 1.1 Education and early career 1.2 Later career and the Binet -- Simon test 1.3 Binet and chess 2 Publications 3 Notes 4 References 5 External links Biography ( edit ) Education and early career ( edit ) Binet attended law school in Paris , and received his degree in 1878 . He also studied physiology at the Sorbonne . His first formal position was as a researcher at a neurological clinic , Salpêtrière Hospital , in Paris from 1883 -- 1889 . From there , Binet went on to being a researcher and associate director of the Laboratory of Experimental Psychology at the Sorbonne from 1891 -- 1894 . In 1894 , he was promoted to being the director of the laboratory until 1911 ( his death ) . Binet also educated himself by reading psychology texts at the National Library in Paris . He soon became fascinated with the ideas of John Stuart Mill , who believed that the operations of intelligence could be explained by the laws of associationism . Binet eventually realized the limitations of this theory , but Mill 's ideas continued to influence his work . In 1883 , years of unaccompanied study ended when Binet was introduced to Charles Féré , who introduced him to Jean - Martin Charcot , the director of a clinic called La Salpêtrière , Paris . Charcot became his mentor and in turn , Binet accepted a job offer at the clinic , working in his neurological laboratory . At the time of Binet 's tenure , Charcot was experimenting with hypnotism . Binet was strongly influenced by Charcot , and published four articles about his work in this area . Unfortunately , Charcot 's conclusions did not hold up under professional scrutiny , and Binet was forced to make an embarrassing public admission that he had been wrong in supporting his teacher . Nevertheless , he had established his name internationally in the field , Morton Prince for example stating in 1904 that `` certain problems in subconscious automatism will always be associated with the names of Breuer and Freud in Germany , Janet and Alfred Binet in France '' . When his involvement with hypnosis waned as a result of failure to establish professional acceptance , he turned to the study of development spurred on by the birth of his two daughters , Marguerite and Armande ( born in 1885 and 1887 , respectively ) , calling Armande a subjectivist and Marguerite an objectivist , and developing the concepts of introspection and externospection in an anticipation of Carl Jung 's psychological types . In the 21 - year period following his shift in career interests , Binet `` published more than 200 books , articles , and reviews in what now would be called experimental , developmental , educational , social , and differential psychology '' ( Siegler , 1992 ) . Bergin and Cizek ( 2001 ) suggest that this work may have influenced Jean Piaget , who later studied with Binet 's collaborator Théodore Simon in 1920 . Binet 's research with his daughters helped him to further refine his developing conception of intelligence , especially the importance of attention span and suggestibility in intellectual development . Despite Binet 's extensive research interests and wide breadth of publications , today he is most widely known for his contributions to intelligence . Wolf ( 1973 ) postulates that this is the result of his not being affiliated with a major university . Because Binet did not have any formalized graduate study in psychology , he did not hold a professorship with a prestigious institution where students and funds would be sure to perpetuate his work ( Siegler , 1992 ) . Additionally , his more progressive theories did not provide the practical utility that his intelligence scale would evoke . Binet and his coworker Fere discovered what they called transfer and they also recognized perceptual and emotional polarization . Binet and Fere thought their findings were a phenomenon and of utmost importance . After investigations by many , the two men were forced to admit that they were wrong about their concepts of transfer and polarization . Basically , their patients had known what was expected , what was supposed to happen , and so they simply assented . Binet had risked everything on his experiment and its results , and this failure took a toll on him . In 1890 , Binet resigned from La Salpêtrière and never mentioned the place or its director again . His interests then turned towards the development of his children , Madeleine and Alice , who were two years apart . This research presages that done by Jean Piaget just a short time later , regarding the development of cognition in children . A job presented itself for Binet in 1891 at the Laboratory of Physiological Psychology at the Sorbonne . He worked for a year without pay and by 1894 , he took over as the director . This was a position that Binet held until his death , and it enabled him to pursue his studies on mental processes . While directing the Laboratory , Theodore Simon applied to do doctoral research under Binet 's supervision . This was the beginning of their long , fruitful collaboration . During this time he also co-founded the French journal of psychology , L'Annee psychologique , serving as the director and editor - in - chief of the journal that was the first scientific journal in this domain . Later career and the Binet -- Simon test ( edit ) In 1899 , Binet was asked to be a member of the Free Society for the Psychological Study of the Child . French education changed greatly during the end of the nineteenth century , because of a law that passed which made it mandatory for children ages six to fourteen to attend school . This group to which Binet became a member hoped to begin studying children in a scientific manner . Binet and many other members of the society were appointed to the Commission for the Retarded . The question became `` What should be the test given to children thought to possibly have learning disabilities , that might place them in a special classroom ? '' Binet made it his problem to establish the differences that separate the normal child from the abnormal , and to measure such differences . L'Etude experimentale de l'intelligence ( Experimental Studies of Intelligence ) was the book he used to describe his methods and it was published in 1903 . Development of more tests and investigations began soon after the book , with the help of a young medical student named Theodore Simon . Simon had nominated himself a few years before as Binet 's research assistant and worked with him on the intelligence tests that Binet is known for , which share Simon 's name as well . In 1905 , a new test for measuring intelligence was introduced and simply called the Binet -- Simon scale . In 1908 , they revised the scale , dropping , modifying , and adding tests and also arranging them according to age levels from three to thirteen . In 1904 a French professional group for child psychology , La Société Libre pour l'Etude Psychologique de l'Enfant , was called upon by the French government to appoint a commission on the education of retarded children . The commission was asked to create a mechanism for identifying students in need of alternative education . Binet , being an active member of this group , found the impetus for the development of his mental scale . Binet and Simon , in creating what historically is known as the Binet - Simon Scale , comprised a variety of tasks they thought were representative of typical children 's abilities at various ages . This task - selection process was based on their many years of observing children in natural settings . They then tested their measurement on a sample of fifty children , ten children per five age groups . The children selected for their study were identified by their school teachers as being average for their age . The purpose of this scale of normal functioning , which would later be revised twice using more stringent standards , was to compare children 's mental abilities relative to those of their normal peers ( Siegler , 1992 ) . The scale consisted of thirty tasks of increasing difficulty . The easier ones could be done by everyone . Some of the simplest test items assessed whether or not a child could follow a beam of light or talk back to the examiner . Slightly harder tasks required children to point to various named body parts , repeat back a series of 2 digits , repeat simple sentences , and define words like house , fork or mama . More difficult test items required children to state the difference between pairs of things , reproduce drawings from memory or to construct sentences from three given words such as `` Paris , river and fortune . '' The hardest test items included asking children to repeat back 7 random digits , find three rhymes for the French word `` obéisance '' and to answer questions such as `` My neighbor has been receiving strange visitors . He has received in turn a doctor , a lawyer , and then a priest . What is taking place ? '' ( Fancher , 1985 ) . Reproduction of an item from the 1908 Binet - Simon intelligence scale , showing three pairs of pictures , about which the tested child was asked , `` Which of these two faces is the prettier ? '' Reproduced from the article `` A Practical Guide for Administering the Binet - Simon Scale for Measuring Intelligence '' by J.W. Wallace Wallin in the March 1911 issue of the journal The Psychological Clinic ( volume 5 number 1 ) , public domain . For the practical use of determining educational placement , the score on the Binet - Simon scale would reveal the child 's mental age . For example , a 6 - year - old child who passed all the tasks usually passed by 6 year - olds -- but nothing beyond -- would have a mental age that exactly matched his chronological age , 6.0 . ( Fancher , 1985 ) . Binet was forthright about the limitations of his scale . He stressed the remarkable diversity of intelligence and the subsequent need to study it using qualitative , as opposed to quantitative , measures . Binet also stressed that intellectual development progressed at variable rates and could be influenced by the environment ; therefore , intelligence was not based solely on genetics , was malleable rather than fixed , and could only be found in children with comparable backgrounds ( Siegler , 1992 ) . Given Binet 's stance that intelligence testing was subject to variability and was not generalizable , it is important to look at the metamorphosis that mental testing took on as it made its way to the U.S. While Binet was developing his mental scale , the business , civic , and educational leaders in the U.S. were facing issues of how to accommodate the needs of a diversifying population , while continuing to meet the demands of society . There arose the call to form a society based on meritocracy ( Siegler , 1992 ) while continuing to underline the ideals of the upper class . In 1908 , H.H. Goddard , a champion of the eugenics movement , found utility in mental testing as a way to evidence the superiority of the white race . After studying abroad , Goddard brought the Binet - Simon Scale to the United States and translated it into English . Following Goddard in the U.S. mental testing movement was Lewis Terman , who took the Simon - Binet Scale and standardized it using a large American sample . The new Stanford - Binet scale was no longer used solely for advocating education for all children , as was Binet 's objective . A new objective of intelligence testing was illustrated in the Stanford - Binet manual with testing ultimately resulting in `` curtailing the reproduction of feeble - mindedness and in the elimination of an enormous amount of crime , pauperism , and industrial inefficiency '' . It follows that we should question why Binet did not speak out concerning the newfound uses of his measure . Siegler ( 1992 ) pointed out that Binet was somewhat of an isolationist in that he never traveled outside France and he barely participated in professional organizations . Additionally , his mental scale was not adopted in his own country during his lifetime and therefore was not subjected to the same fate . Finally , when Binet did become aware of the `` foreign ideas being grafted on his instrument '' he condemned those who with ' brutal pessimism ' and ' deplorable verdicts ' were promoting the concept of intelligence as a single , unitary construct ( White , 2000 ) . He did a lot of studies of children . His experimental subjects ranged from 3 to 18 years old . Binet published the third version of the Binet - Simon scale shortly before his death in 1911 . The Binet - Simon scale was and is hugely popular around the world , mainly because of the vast literature it has fostered , as well as its relative ease of administration . Since his death , many people in many ways have honored Binet , but two of these stand out . In 1917 , the Free Society for the Psychological Study of the Child , of which Binet became a member in 1899 and which prompted his development of the intelligence tests , changed their name to La Société Alfred Binet , in memory of the renowned psychologist . The second honor was not until 1984 , when the journal Science 84 picked the Binet - Simon scale as one of twenty of the century 's most significant developments or discoveries . He studied sexual behavior , coining the term erotic fetishism to describe individuals whose sexual interests in nonhuman objects , such as articles of clothing , and linking this to the after - effects of early impressions in an anticipation of Freud . He also studied abilities of Valentine Dencausse , the most famous chiromancer in Paris in those days . Binet and chess ( edit ) Binet had done a series of experiments to see how well chess players played when blindfolded . He found that only some of the master chess players could play from memory and a few could play multiple games simultaneously without looking at the boards . To remember the positions of the pieces on the boards , some players envisioned exact replicas of specific chess sets , while others envisioned an abstract schema of the game . Binet concluded that extraordinary feats of memory such as blind chess playing could take a variety of mnemonic forms . He recounted his experiments in a book entitled Psychologie des grands calculateurs et joueurs en echec ( Paris : Hachette , 1894 ) .

who is credited with the development of the first intelligence test
[ "Alfred Binet (French: [binɛ]; July 8, 1857 – October 18, 1911) was a French psychologist who invented the first practical IQ test, the Binet–Simon test.[2] In 1904, the French Ministry of Education asked psychologist Alfred Binet to devise a method that would determine which students did not learn effectively from regular classroom instruction so they could be given remedial work. Along with his collaborator Théodore Simon, Binet published revisions of his test in 1908 and 1911, the last of which appeared just before his death." ]

In promotion for the album , Aaliyah embarked on a world tour that lasted from 1994 to 1995 , she toured through the US , Europe , Japan and South Africa Reception ( edit ) Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic Encyclopedia of Popular Music Entertainment Weekly B+ The Rolling Stone Album Guide Slant Magazine Age Ai n't Nothing But a Number received generally favorable reviews from music critics . Some writers noted that Aaliyah 's `` silky vocals '' and `` sultry voice '' blended with Kelly 's new jack swing helped define R&B in the 1990s . Her sound was also compared to that of female quartet En Vogue . Christopher John Farley of Time magazine described the album as a `` beautifully restrained work '' , noting that Aaliyah 's `` girlish , breathy vocals rode calmly on R. Kelly 's rough beats '' . Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic felt that the album had its `` share of filler '' , but described the singles as `` slyly seductive '' . He also claimed that the songs on the album were `` frequently better '' than that of Kelly 's first studio album , 12 Play . The album debuted at number 24 on the Billboard 200 chart , selling 74,000 copies in its first week . The album ultimately peaked at number 18 on the chart . It sold three million copies in the United States and 6 million copies worldwide . In Canada , the album debuted at number 29 , peaked at number 20 and spent 25 weeks at the chart , selling over 50,000 copies and was certified gold by the CRIA . It also peaked at number 44 on the Dutch Albums Chart ; it peaked at number 23 on the UK Albums Chart , where it was certified Gold by the BPI .

Backboard shattering
Backboard shattering - wikipedia Backboard shattering Jump to : navigation , search A backboard shattering is an accident or stunt in basketball . It occurs when a player slam dunks the ball hard enough to break the 1 / 2 '' tempered safety glass of the backboard . The stunt has caused games to be canceled or delayed , serious injuries to occur and expensive costs of cleanup and replacement . Shattering a backboard is extremely dangerous , sending shards of glass flying over the players and fans . In the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) , shattering a backboard during a game is penalized with a non-unsportsmanlike conduct technical foul and a possible fine towards the player . The player may not be ejected , nor shall the foul count towards a player 's total towards either ejection or suspension . Backboard shattering has altered the game in many different ways . In 1967 , the dunk was banned in high school and college basketball . The rule - makers claimed the dunk was outlawed to prevent injury and equipment damage . After multiple issues with the new rule , nine years later they allowed the slam dunk to be legal again due to the invention of the breakaway rim . The NBA began using them after Darryl Dawkins shattered two backboards with his slam dunks during the 1979 -- 80 season . Throughout the history of basketball there have always been athletes with the size and strength to slam dunk the ball through the rim . However , the first NBA player to shatter a backboard , Chuck Connors ( who would become far more famous as an actor ) , did not do so with a dunk . When playing for the Boston Celtics in 1946 , Connors took a set shot during pregame warmups , hitting the front of the rim . Because an arena worker had failed to place a protective piece between the rim and backboard , the backboard shattered . All - star power forward Gus Johnson of the Baltimore Bullets became famous as a backboard breaker in the NBA , shattering three during his career in the 1960s and early 1970s . In the ABA , Charlie Hentz shattered two backboards in the same game on November 6 , 1970 , resulting in the game being cancelled . Darryl Dawkins became famous for shattering backboards , and is credited for being the one person to cause the NBA to introduce `` breakaway rims '' . Shaquille O'Neal slam dunked so hard that he broke the supports holding two backboards during games against the New Jersey Nets and the Phoenix Suns during the 1992 -- 93 NBA season . Chris Morris , a former NBA star with the New Jersey Nets , shattered a backboard during a game in 1993 ; Jerome Lane shattered a backboard during a game in 1988 while playing for the University of Pittsburgh ; Blue Edwards shattered a backboard during a Midnight Madness event while he was playing at East Carolina . Bryant Reeves shattered a backboard during team practice / warm - ups prior to their 1995 NCAA tourney game against UCLA . Following the 1992 -- 93 season the NBA increased steel brace strength and increased stability of the backboard to prevent the hoop from falling down after Shaquille O'Neal broke two goal standards the previous season ( although the glass remained intact , welds in the goal standard failed ) . The aforementioned technical foul was also introduced at the time . During the NCAA tournament in 1996 , Darvin Ham shattered a backboard while playing for Texas Tech against North Carolina . Robert Traylor , while playing for the Michigan Wolverines , shattered a backboard against the Ball State Cardinals in 1996 . In 2012 , during a preseason exhibition game held in Sassari , Italy , Olympiacos starter and former NBA player Joey Dorsey ended up breaking the glass of a backboard against Dinamo Sassari .

List of Shugo Chara! characters
List of Shugo Chara ! Characters - wikipedia List of Shugo Chara ! Characters Jump to : navigation , search Shugo Chara ! is a Japanese shōjo manga created by the manga author duo Peach - Pit . The story centers on elementary schoolgirl Amu Hinamori , whose popular exterior , referred to as `` cool and spicy '' by her classmates , contrasts with her introverted personality . When Amu wishes for the courage to be reborn as her would - be self , she is surprised to find three colorful eggs the next morning , which hatch into three Guardian Characters : Ran , Miki , and Su . Cast of Shugo Chara ! from the first anime series . Peach - Pit uses Amu to explore differences between one 's true self and the self that is presented to others . Like Jun Sakurada in Peach - Pit 's previous work , Rozen Maiden , Amu tackles issues such as alienation and fitting in at school . Unlike most heroines in other magical girl series , Amu is neither the perfect sweetheart nor a complete klutz . Amu gets grumpy and frequently talks back to others in contrast to the polite schoolgirls that fill the genre . Amu 's Guardian Characters -- Ran , Miki , Su , and later Diamond -- aid her in her quest of self - discovery . Each Guardian Character represents an aspect of Amu 's true self . Ran represents Amu 's desire to be more honest and athletic , Miki represents Amu 's desire to be more level headed and artistic , Su represents Amu 's desire to be more caring and improve her domestic skills , while Diamond represents Amu 's desire to shine in front of others and be a good speaker . Moreover , the Guardian Characters are more than mere mascots who help Amu learn about her true self . They can also perform a `` Character Change '' where Amu 's personality is replaced by an entirely different one . However , Amu is not the only one with Guardian Characters . Each of the Guardians -- Tadase Hotori , Nadeshiko Fujisaki , Kukai Soma , and Yaya Yuiki -- have their own Guardian Characters . Amu also encounters Ikuto Tsukiyomi and Utau Hoshina ( Tsukiyomi ) , two siblings who also have Guardian Characters and are employed by the Easter Company to search for the Embryo . Eventually , Nadeshiko Fujisaki and Kukai Soma leave the Guardians and are replaced by Rima Mashiro and Kairi Sanjo , respectively . Kairi later leaves and is replaced by Nagihiko Fujisaki , Nadeshiko 's real identity . Contents ( hide ) 1 Main characters 1.1 Amu Hinamori 1.2 Tadase Hotori 1.3 Ikuto Tsukiyomi 1.4 Utau Hoshina / Tsukiyomi 2 Supporting characters 3 Minor characters 4 References 5 See also Main Characters ( edit ) Amu Hinamori ( edit ) Amu Hinamori ( 日 奈 森 あむ , Hinamori Amu ) , the series ' protagonist , is a student of Seiyo Elementary . Amu 's classmates see her as `` cool and spicy '' Amu can be identified as a Tsundere ( Mean and Cold to opening up to other people ) , but Amu 's true character is shy and timid . Part of the reason for this misunderstanding is the trendy punk goth clothing her mother buys for her as well as the way she expresses her shyness . However , when Amu wishes for the courage to become her would - be self , three colorful eggs appear . When they hatch , they reveal Amu 's Guardian Characters : Ran , Miki , and Su . Amu becomes a member of the Guardians , the school 's student council , and discovers that each member has a Guardian Character . Amu 's position with the Guardians is the Joker . Her task as the Joker is to search for and purify X Eggs and X Characters ( also , in the second season , she purifies Mystery Eggs , the corrupted forms of people 's would - be selves ) . Ran , Miki , and Su help Amu with her task through a process called Character Transformation , which is enabled by the Humpty Lock and grants Amu special abilities depending on the Guardian Character . Later on , Amu also creates a fourth egg , known as Diamond . In the second season , when Amu shows her true potential , the Humpty Lock increases in power . Thus , new transformation scenes are used ... Amu 's main love interests are Tadase Hotori and Tsukiyomi Ikuto . Throughout the first half of the series , Amu had a crush on Tadase and blushed every time she was in his presence . She initially regarded Ikuto as a jerk and pervert , but she grew close to him as he aided her countless times . When Ikuto first confesses his love to her , she thinks he is teasing her and dismisses it . When Tadase asks Amu if it is okay for him to fall in love with her , she is thrilled at the progress in their relationship but soon finds herself drawn to Ikuto . She was saddened when Ikuto decided to leave in search of his father . Because of this , she realizes that she truly loves Ikuto . After he confesses to her and kisses her close to the lips , she refuses to admit her feelings for him , which prompts Ikuto to make a deal with her that he will get her to fall in love with him . In chapter 48 , Amu confesses to Tadase 's older self that she had liked Tadase for his outer character . Although they have a much better relationship than before , Amu remains stubborn about her feelings for Ikuto . In the final chapter of Shugo Chara Encore , she is happy to reunite with him and is seen holding hands with him at Sanjou and Nikaidou 's wedding . Amu 's primary rival is Utau Hoshina , Ikuto 's younger sister , who is jealous that Ikuto shows an interest in Amu instead of her . They soon become good friends after Utau leaves Easter . In the end , she chooses Ikuto in the manga . However , it is heavily implied that she ends up with Tadase in the anime . Amu gains the Dumpty Key from Yoru and uses it to unlock the Humpty Lock . In some of the later chapters , when Amu opens the Humpty Lock with the Dumpty Key , she and Tadase see more of Ikuto 's past . Their journey ends when Amu Character transforms with Diamond , and she and Ikuto fight briefly . Ran , Miki , Su , and Diamond all combine their powers , making Amu Character Transform into Amulet Fortune and Ikuto Character Transforms into Seven Seas Treasure . Amu ventures to the Eggs ' Cradle , a place where unborn and `` lost '' Shugo Chara reside , in order to search for four coloured shards representing each of her Shugo Chara in an attempt to bring Ran , Miki and Su back . In chapter 44 , Diamond tells Amu that Ran , Miki and Su have `` disappeared '' and that she will help Amu find them as her `` navigator '' . Diamond becomes Amu 's guide in the Eggs ' Cradle in Amu 's search for the four coloured shards . She finally comes to terms with the loss of her Guardian Characters at the end of the journey , however as she returns she realizes that she has Ran , Miki , Su and Diamond back in Egg form much to her relief and later joy as they are born again later in Shugo Chara Encore . In the anime television series , Amu is voiced by Kanae Itō . She is portrayed by Yuuka Maeda in the musical . Ran ( ラン ) Ran is the first to hatch from Amu 's eggs and represents Amu 's desire to be more honest , confident and athletic . Ran is frequently cheering Amu on . During Character Change , Amu gains , thus , and increased her athletic abilities . During Character Transformation , Amu becomes Amulet Heart , with a cheerleader inspired outfit . In chapter 38 , Ran undergoes a new Character Transformation , along with Miki , Su , and Diamond ; becoming Amulet Fortune . In chapter 44 , she disappears along with Miki and Su , and later Diamond as well when Amu no longer needs them . In Shugo Chara Encore at the very end of the last chapter , she and Amu 's other Shugo Chara emerge hatch again at Sanjou and Nikaidou 's wedding much to Amu 's joy . In the anime television series , Ran is voiced by Kana Asumi . Miki ( ミキ ) The second Guardian Character to hatch is Miki . Miki represents Amu 's desire to be more sharp , level headed , and artistic . Miki is also the one to help Amu make fashion choices . Reflecting Amu 's love interests , Miki has shown an interest in Tadase 's Guardian Character , Kiseki , Ikuto 's Guardian Character , Yoru , Kukai 's Guardian Character , Daichi , and Nagihiko 's Guardian Character , Rhythm . During Character Change , Amu gains increased artistic abilities . During Character Transformation , Amu becomes Amulet Spade . In chapter 38 , Miki undergoes a new Character Transformation , along with Ran , Su , and Diamond ; becoming Amulet Fortune . In Shugo Chara ! Doki , Miki is the only one out of Amu 's Guardian Characters to be able to sense Mystery Eggs clearly . In chapter 44 , she disappears along with Ran and Su , and later Diamond as well when Amu no longer needs them . In Shugo Chara Encore , she returns along with the others and together catch the wedding bouquet for Amu who accidentally threw it back in the air again . In the anime television series , Miki is voiced by Nanae Katō . Su ( スゥ , Sū ) The third Guardian Character , Su , represents Amu 's desire to be more caring , sensitive and improve her domestic skills . However , Su is prone to silly mistakes . She is very fond of Amu 's teacher , Yuu Nikaidou . Amu gains an improvement in cooking and cleaning skills during Character Change , as well as becoming `` too girly '' . During Character Transformation , Amu becomes Amulet Clover with an outfit just like Su 's . In chapter 38 , Su undergoes a new Character Transformation with Ran , Miki , and Diamond ; becoming Amulet Fortune . In chapter 44 , she disappears along with Miki and Ran , and later Diamond as well when Amu no longer needs them . She and the others make an unexpected return toward the end of the last chapter of Shugo Chara Encore as they appear to be reborn again from Amu 's feelings .

shugo chara who does amu end up with
[ "Amu's main love interests are Tadase Hotori and Tsukiyomi Ikuto. Throughout the first half of the series, Amu had a crush on Tadase and blushed every time she was in his presence. She initially regarded Ikuto as a jerk and pervert, but she grew close to him as he aided her countless times. When Ikuto first confesses his love to her, she thinks he is teasing her and dismisses it. When Tadase asks Amu if it is okay for him to fall in love with her, she is thrilled at the progress in their relationship but soon finds herself drawn to Ikuto. She was saddened when Ikuto decided to leave in search of his father. Because of this, she realizes that she truly loves Ikuto. After he confesses to her and kisses her close to the lips, she refuses to admit her feelings for him, which prompts Ikuto to make a deal with her that he will get her to fall in love with him. In chapter 48, Amu confesses to Tadase's older self that she had liked Tadase for his outer character. Although they have a much better relationship than before, Amu remains stubborn about her feelings for Ikuto. In the final chapter of Shugo Chara Encore, she is happy to reunite with him and is seen holding hands with him at Sanjou and Nikaidou's wedding. Amu's primary rival is Utau Hoshina, Ikuto's younger sister, who is jealous that Ikuto shows an interest in Amu instead of her. They soon become good friends after Utau leaves Easter. In the end, she chooses Ikuto in the manga. However, it is heavily implied that she ends up with Tadase in the anime." ]

Although additional changes to India 's state boundaries have been made since 1956 , the States Reorganisation Act of 1956 remains the single most extensive change in state boundaries since the independence of India in 1947 . The Act came into effect at the same time as the Constitution ( Seventh Amendment ) Act , 1956 , which ( among other things ) restructured the constitutional framework for India 's existing states and the requirements to pass the States Reorganisation Act , 1956 under the provisions of Part I of the Constitution of India , Articles 3 & 4 .

( October 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : Political integration of India Administrative divisions of India in 1951 The British Indian Empire , which included present - day India , Pakistan and Bangladesh , was divided into two types of territories : the Provinces of British India , which were governed directly by British officials responsible to the Governor - General of India ; and the Indian States , under the rule of local hereditary rulers who recognised British suzerainty in return for local autonomy , in most cases as established by treaty . As a result of the reforms of the early 20th century , most of the British provinces had directly elected legislatures as well as governors , although some of the smaller provinces were governed by a chief commissioner appointed by the Governor - General . Major reforms put forward by the British in the 1930s also recognised the principle of federalism , which was carried forward into the governance of independent India . On 15 August 1947 , British India was granted independence as the separate dominions of India and Pakistan . The British dissolved their treaty relations with more than five hundred princely states , who were encouraged to accede to either India or Pakistan , while under no compulsion to do so . Most of the states acceded to India , and a few to Pakistan . Bhutan , Hyderabad and Kashmir opted for independence , although the armed intervention of India conquered Hyderabad and brought it into the Indian Union . South Indian states prior to the States Reorganisation Act Between 1947 and about 1950 , the territories of the princely states were politically integrated into the Indian Union . Most were merged into existing provinces ; others were organised into new provinces , such as Rajputana , Himachal Pradesh , Madhya Bharat , and Vindhya Pradesh , made up of multiple princely states ; a few , including Mysore , Hyderabad , Bhopal , and Bilaspur , became separate provinces . The Government of India Act 1935 remained the constitutional law of India pending adoption of a new Constitution . The new Constitution of India , which came into force on 26 January 1950 , made India a sovereign democratic republic . The new republic was also declared to be a `` Union of States '' . The constitution of 1950 distinguished between three main types of states and a class of territories : Part A states , which were the former governors ' provinces of British India , were ruled by a governor appointed by the president and an elected state legislature . The nine Part A states were Assam , Bihar , Bombay , Madhya Pradesh ( formerly Central Provinces and Berar ) , Madras , Orissa , Punjab ( formerly East Punjab ) , Uttar Pradesh ( formerly the United Provinces ) , and West Bengal . Part B states , which were former princely states or groups of princely states , governed by a rajpramukh , who was usually the ruler of a constituent state , and an elected legislature . The rajpramukh was appointed by the President of India . The eight Part B states were Hyderabad , Jammu and Kashmir , Madhya Bharat , Mysore , Patiala and East Punjab States Union ( PEPSU ) , Rajasthan , Saurashtra , and Travancore - Cochin . Part C states included both the former chief commissioners ' provinces and some princely states , and each was governed by a chief commissioner appointed by the President of India . The ten Part C states were Ajmer , Bhopal , Bilaspur , Coorg , Delhi , Himachal Pradesh , Cutch , Manipur , Tripura , and Vindhya Pradesh . The sole Part D territory was the Andaman and Nicobar Islands , which were administered by a lieutenant governor appointed by the central government . Movement for linguistic states ( edit ) The demand for states to be organised on a linguistic basis was developed even before India achieved independence from British rule . A first - of - its - kind linguistic movement started in 1895 , in what is now Odisha . The movement gained momentum in later years with the demand for a separate Orissa Province to be formed by bifurcating the existing Bihar and Orissa Province . Due to the efforts of Madhusudan Das , the Father of Oriya nationalism , the movement eventually achieved its objective in 1936 , when Orissa Province became the first Indian state ( pre-independence ) to be organised on the basis of common languages . The post-independence period saw the ascent of political movements for the creation of new states developed on linguistic lines . The movement to create a Telugu - speaking state out of the northern portion of Madras State gathered strength in the years after independence , and in 1953 , the sixteen northern Telugu - speaking districts of Madras State became the new State of Andhra . During the 1950 -- 1956 period , other small changes were made to state boundaries : the small state of Bilaspur was merged with Himachal Pradesh on 1 July 1954 ; and Chandernagore , a former enclave of French India , was incorporated into West Bengal in 1955 . However , post-independence , the first state to be created on a linguistic basis was Andhra in 1953 , created out of the Telugu - speaking northern parts of Madras State . States Reorganisation Commission ( edit ) Main article : States Reorganisation Commission The States Reorganisation Commission was preceded by the Linguistic Provinces Commission ( aka Dhar Commission ) , which was set up in June 1948 . Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru appointed the States Reorganisation Commission in December 1953 , with the remit to reorganise the Indian states . The new commission was headed by the retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court , Fazal Ali ; its other two members were H.N. Kunzru and K.M. Panikkar . The efforts of the commission were overseen by Govind Ballabh Pant , who served as the Home Minister from December 1954 . The States Reorganisation Commission submitted a report on September 30 , 1955 , with recommendations for the reorganisation of India 's states , which was then debated by the Indian parliament . Subsequently , bills were passed to make changes to the constitution and to administer the reorganisation of the states . Indian states after the States Reorganisation Act not only thus Related changes by other legislation ( edit ) The States Reorganisation Act was enacted on 31 August 1956 . Before it came into effect on 1 November , an important amendment was made to the Constitution of India . Under the Seventh Amendment , the existing distinction among Part A , Part B , Part C , and Part D states was abolished . The distinction between Part A and Part B states was removed , becoming known simply as `` states '' . A new type of entity , the Union Territory , replaced the classification as a Part C or Part D state . A further Act also came into effect on 1 November , transferring certain territories from Bihar to West Bengal . Effect of the changes ( edit ) The following list sets out the states and union territories of India as reorganised on 1 November 1956 : States ( edit ) Andhra Pradesh : formed by the merger of Andhra State ( 1953 - 56 ) with the Telugu - speaking areas of Hyderabad State ( 1948 -- 56 ) .

Roman aqueduct
Roman aqueduct - wikipedia Roman aqueduct Jump to : navigation , search The multiple arches of the Pont du Gard in Roman Gaul ( modern - day southern France ) . The upper tier encloses an aqueduct that carried water to Nimes in Roman times ; its lower tier was expanded in the 1740s to carry a wide road across the river . Play media Aerial footage of a Roman provincial aqueduct at Mória ( Lesbos ) The Romans constructed numerous aqueducts throughout the Empire to bring water into cities and towns -- often from distant sources . The water supplied public baths , latrines , fountains , and private households . Aqueducts also provided water for mining operations , milling , farms , and gardens . Aqueducts moved water through gravity alone , usually along a slight overall downward gradient within conduits of stone , brick or concrete , but sometimes through steeper gradients . Most conduits were buried beneath the ground , and followed the contours of the terrain ; obstructing peaks were circumvented or , less often , tunneled through . Where valleys or lowlands intervened , the conduit was carried on bridgework , or its contents fed into high - pressure lead , ceramic or stone pipes and siphoned across . Most aqueduct systems included sedimentation tanks , which helped reduce any water - borne debris . Sluices and castella aquae ( distribution tanks ) regulated the supply to individual destinations . The run - off water from aqueducts sometimes drove urban water - mills , and scoured the drains and sewers . Rome 's first aqueduct supplied a water fountain sited at the city 's cattle market . By the 3rd century AD , the city had eleven aqueducts , sustaining a population of over a million in a water - extravagant economy ; most of the water supplied the city 's many public baths . Cities and towns throughout the Roman Empire emulated this model , and funded aqueducts as objects of public interest and civic pride , `` an expensive yet necessary luxury to which all could , and did , aspire '' . Most Roman aqueducts proved reliable , and durable ; some were maintained into the early modern era , and a few are still partly in use . Methods of aqueduct surveying and construction are noted by Vitruvius in his work De Architectura ( 1st century BC ) . The general Frontinus gives more detail in his official report on the problems , uses and abuses of Imperial Rome 's public water supply . Notable examples of aqueduct architecture include the supporting piers of the Aqueduct of Segovia , and the aqueduct - fed cisterns of Constantinople .

'' Dionysius of Halicarnassus , Roman Antiquities Before the development of aqueduct technology , Romans , like most of their contemporaries in the ancient world , relied on local water sources such as springs and streams , supplemented by groundwater from privately or publicly owned wells , and by seasonal rain - water drained from rooftops into storage jars and cisterns . The reliance of ancient communities upon such water resources restricted their potential growth . Rome 's aqueducts were not strictly Roman inventions -- their engineers would have been familiar with the water - management technologies of Rome 's Etruscan and Greek allies -- but they proved conspicuously successful . By the early Imperial era , the city 's aqueducts supported a population of over a million , and an extravagant water supply for public amenities had become a fundamental part of Roman life . The run - off of aqueduct water scoured the sewers of cities and towns . Water from aqueducts was also used to supply villas , ornamental urban and suburban gardens , market gardens , farms and agricultural estates , the latter being the core of Rome 's economy and wealth . Rome 's aqueducts ( edit ) See also : List of aqueducts in the city of Rome Map of Rome 's aqueducts Large scale map showing sources Rome 's Porta Maggiore , formed by a supporting arch of the Aqua Claudia and Rome 's highest elevated aqueduct , the Aqua Anio Novus . Rome had several springs within its perimeter walls but its groundwater was notoriously unpalatable ; water from the river Tiber was badly affected by pollution and waterborne diseases . The city 's demand for water had probably long exceeded its local supplies by 312 BC , when the city 's first aqueduct , the Aqua Appia , was commissioned by the censor Appius Claudius Caecus . The Aqua Appia was one of two major public projects of the time ; the other was a military road between Rome and Capua , the first leg of the so - called Appian Way . Both projects had significant strategic value , as the Third Samnite War had been under way for some thirty years by that point . The road allowed rapid troop movements ; and by design or fortunate coincidence , most of the Aqua Appia ran within a buried conduit , relatively secure from attack . It was fed by a spring 16.4 km from Rome , and dropped 10 metres over its length to discharge approximately 75,500 cubic metres of water each day into a fountain at Rome 's cattle market , the Forum Boarium , one of the city 's lowest - lying public spaces . A second aqueduct , the Aqua Anio Vetus , was commissioned some forty years later , funded by treasures seized from Pyrrhus of Epirus . Its flow was more than twice that of the Aqua Appia , and it entered the city on raised arches , supplying water to higher elevations of the city . By 145 BC , the city had again outgrown its combined supplies . An official commission found the aqueduct conduits decayed , their water depleted by leakage and illegal tapping . The praetor Quintus Marcius Rex restored them , and introduced a third , `` more wholesome '' supply , the Aqua Marcia , Rome 's longest aqueduct and high enough to supply the Capitoline Hill . The works cost 180,000,000 sesterces , and took two years to complete . As demand grew still further , more aqueducts were built ; the Aqua Tepula in 127 BC and the Aqua Julia in 33 BC . Aqueduct - building programmes reached a peak in the Imperial Era . Augustus ' reign saw the building of the Aqua Virgo , and the short Aqua Alsietina that supplied Trastevere 's artificial lake with water for staged sea - fights to entertain the populace . Another short Augustan aqueduct supplemented the Aqua Marcia with water of `` excellent quality '' . The emperor Caligula added or began two aqueducts completed by his successor Claudius ; the 69 km ( 42.8 mile ) Aqua Claudia , which gave good quality water but failed on several occasions ; and the Anio Novus , highest of all Rome 's aqueducts and one of the most reliable but prone to muddy , discoloured waters , particularly after rain , despite its use of settling tanks . Most of Rome 's aqueducts drew on various springs in the valley and highlands of the Anio , the modern river Aniene , east of the Tiber . A complex system of aqueduct junctions , tributary feeds and distribution tanks supplied every part of the city . Trastevere , the city region west of the Tiber , was primarily served by extensions of several of the city 's eastern aqueducts , carried across the river by lead pipes buried in the roadbed of the river bridges , thus forming an inverted siphon . Whenever this cross-river supply had to be shut down for routine repair and maintenance works , the `` positively unwholesome '' waters of the Aqua Alsietina were used to supply Trastevere 's public fountains . The situation was finally ameliorated when the emperor Trajan built the Aqua Traiana in 109 AD , bringing clean water directly to Trastavere from aquifers around Lake Bracciano . By the late 3rd century AD , the city was supplied with water by 11 state - funded aqueducts . Their combined conduit length is estimated between 780 and a little over 800 kilometres , of which approximately 47 km ( 29 mi ) were carried above ground level , on masonry supports . They supplied around 1 million cubic metres ( 300 million gallons ) a day : a capacity 126 % of the current water supply of the city of Bangalore , which has a population of 6 million .

Aqueducts in the Roman Empire ( edit ) See also : List of aqueducts in the Roman Empire `` Galería de los Espejos '' ( Gallery of Mirrors ) , a tunneled part of a 25 km Roman aqueduct built during the 1st century AD near Albarracín ( Spain ) Hundreds of similar aqueducts were built throughout the Roman Empire . Many of them have since collapsed or been destroyed , but a number of intact portions remain . The Zaghouan Aqueduct is 92.5 km ( 57.5 mi ) in length . It was built in the 2nd century to supply Carthage ( in modern Tunisia ) . Surviving aqueduct bridges include the Pont du Gard in France and the Aqueduct of Segovia in Spain . The longest single conduit , at over 240 km , is associated with the Valens Aqueduct of Constantinople ( Mango 1995 ) . `` The known system is at least two and half times the length of the longest recorded Roman aqueducts at Carthage and Cologne , but perhaps more significantly it represents one of the most outstanding surveying achievements of any pre-industrial society '' . Planning , surveying and construction ( edit ) Planning ( edit ) Whether state - funded or privately built , aqueducts were protected and regulated by law . Any proposed aqueduct must be submitted to the scrutiny of civil authorities . Permission ( from the senate or from local authorities ) was only granted if the proposal respected the water rights of other citizens ; on the whole , Roman communities took care to allocate shared water resources according to need . The land on which a state - funded aqueduct was built might be state land ( ager publicus ) or privately owned , but in either case was subject to restrictions on usage and encroachment that might damage the fabric of the aqueduct . To this end , state funded aqueducts reserved a wide corridor of land , up to 15 feet each side of the aqueduct 's outer fabric . Ploughing , planting and building were prohibited within this boundary . Such regulation was necessary to the aqueduct 's long - term integrity and maintenance but was not always readily accepted or easily enforced at a local level , particularly when ager publicus was understood to be common property . Some privately built or smaller municipal aqueducts may have required less stringent and formal arrangements . Sources and surveying ( edit ) Springs were by far the most common sources for aqueduct water ; for example , most of Rome 's supply came from various springs in the Anio valley and its uplands . Spring - water was fed into a stone or concrete springhouse , then entered the aqueduct conduit . Scattered springs would require several branch conduits feeding into a main channel . Some systems drew water from open , purpose - built , dammed reservoirs , such as the two ( still in use ) that supplied the aqueduct at the provincial city of Emerita Augusta . The territory over which the aqueduct ran had to be carefully surveyed to ensure the water would flow at an acceptable gradient for the entire distance . Roman engineers used various surveying tools to plot the course of aqueducts across the landscape . They checked horizontal levels with a chorobates , a flatbedded wooden frame fitted with a water level . They plotted courses and angles could be plotted and checked using a groma , a relatively simple apparatus that was probably displaced by the more sophisticated dioptra , precursor of the modern theodolite . In Book 8 of his De Architectura , Vitruvius describes the need to ensure a constant supply , methods of prospecting , and tests for potable water . Health issues ( edit ) Greek and Roman physicians knew the association between stagnant or tainted waters and water - borne disease . They also knew the adverse health effects of lead on those who mined and processed it , and for this reason , ceramic pipes were preferred over lead . Where lead pipes were used , a continuous water - flow and the inevitable deposition of water - borne minerals within the pipes somewhat reduced the water 's contamination by soluble lead . Nevertheless , the level of lead in this water was 100 times higher than in local spring waters . Conduits and gradients ( edit ) The water conduit of the Tarragona Aqueduct , Spain . Most Roman aqueducts were flat - bottomed , arch - section conduits that ran 0.5 to 1 m beneath the ground surface , with inspection - and - access covers at regular intervals . Conduits above ground level were usually slab - topped . Early conduits were ashlar - built but from around the late Republican era , brick - faced concrete was often used instead . The concrete used for conduit linings was usually waterproof . The flow of water depended on gravity alone . The volume of water transported within the conduit depended on the catchment hydrology -- rainfall , absorption , and runoff -- the cross section of the conduit , and its gradient ; most conduits ran about two - thirds full . The conduit 's cross section was also determined by maintenance requirements ; workmen must be able to enter and access the whole , with minimal disruption to its fabric . Vitruvius recommends a low gradient of not less than 1 in 4800 for the channel , presumably to prevent damage to the structure through erosion and water pressure . This value agrees well with the measured gradients of surviving masonry aqueducts . The gradient of the Pont du Gard is only 34 cm per km , descending only 17 m vertically in its entire length of 50 km ( 31 mi ) : it could transport up to 20,000 cubic metres a day . The gradients of temporary aqueducts used for hydraulic mining could be considerably greater , as at Dolaucothi in Wales ( with a maximum gradient of about 1 : 700 ) and Las Medulas in northern Spain . Where sharp gradients were unavoidable in permanent conduits , the channel could be stepped downwards , widened or discharged into a receiving tank to disperse the flow of water and reduce its abrasive force . The use of stepped cascades and drops also helped re-oxygenate and thus `` freshen '' the water . Bridgework and siphons ( edit ) The arches of an elevated section of the Roman provincial Aqueduct of Segovia , in modern Spain . Some aqueduct conduits were supported across valleys or hollows on arches of masonry , brick or concrete . The Pont du Gard , one of the most impressive surviving examples of a massive masonry multiple - piered conduit , also served as a road - bridge . Where particularly deep or lengthy depressions had to be crossed , inverted siphons could be used ; the conduit fed water into a header tank , which fed it into pipes . The pipes crossed the valley at lower level , supported by a low `` venter '' bridge , then rose to a receiving tank at a slightly lower elevation . This discharged into another conduit ; the overall gradient was maintained . Siphon pipes were usually made of soldered lead , sometimes reinforced by concrete encasements or stone sleeves . Less often , the pipes themselves were stone or ceramic , jointed as male - female and sealed with lead . Vitruvius describes the construction of siphons and the problems of blockage , blow - outs and venting at their lowest levels , where the pressures were greatest . Nonetheless , siphons were versatile and effective if well - built and well - maintained . A horizontal section of high - pressure siphon tubing in the Aqueduct of the Gier was ramped up on bridgework to clear a navigable river , using nine lead pipes in parallel , cased in concrete . Modern hydraulic engineers use similar techniques to enable sewers and water pipes to cross depressions . At Arles , a minor branch of the main aqueduct supplied a local suburb via a lead siphon whose `` belly '' was laid across a riverbed , eliminating any need for supporting bridgework . Inspection and maintenance ( edit ) Catchment basin of the aqueduct of Metz , France . The single arched cover protects two channels ; either one could be closed off , allowing repair while the other continued to provide at least partial supply Roman aqueducts required a comprehensive system of regular maintenance . The `` clear corridors '' created to protect the fabric of underground and overground conduits were regularly patrolled for unlawful ploughing , planting , roadways and buildings . Frontinus describes the penetration of conduits by tree - roots as particularly damaging . Quite apart from this , the aqueducts themselves would have been regularly inspected and maintained by working patrols , to reduce algal fouling , repair accidental breaches , to clear the conduits of gravel and other loose debris , and to remove channel - narrowing accretions of calcium carbonate in systems fed by hard water sources . Inspection and access points were provided at regular intervals on the standard , buried conduits . Accretions within syphons could drastically reduce flow rates , due to the already narrow diameter of their pipes . Some had sealed openings that might have been used as rodding eyes , possibly using a pull - through device . In Rome , where a hard - water supply was the norm , mains pipework was shallowly buried beneath road kerbs , for ease of access ; the accumulation of calcium carbonate in these pipes would have necessitated their frequent replacement . The aqueducts were under the overall care and governance of a water commissioner ( curator aquarum ) . It was a high status and high - profile appointment . In 97 , Frontinus served both as consul and as curator aquarum , under the emperor Nerva. Little is known of the day - to - day business of aqueduct maintenance teams ( aquarii ) . Under the emperor Claudius , Rome 's contingent of imperial aquarii comprised a familia aquarum of 700 persons , both slave and free , funded through a combination of Imperial largesse and water taxes . They were supervised by an Imperial freedman , who held office as procurator aquarium . Theirs was probably a never - ending routine of patrol , inspection and cleaning , punctuated by occasional emergencies . Full closure of any aqueduct for servicing would have been a rare event , kept as brief as possible , with repairs preferably made when water demand was lowest , which was presumably at night . The water supply could be shut off at its aqueduct outlet when small or local repairs were needed , but substantial maintenance and repairs to the aqueduct conduit itself required the complete diversion of water at any point upstream or at the spring - head itself . Regulation ( edit ) Licensed , fee - paying private users would have been registered , along with the bore of pipe that led from the public water supply to their private property -- the wider the pipe , the greater the flow and the higher the fee . Tampering and fraud to avoid or reduce payment were commonplace ; methods included the fitting of unlicensed outlets , additional outlets , and the illegal widening of lead pipes ; any of which might involve the bribery or connivance of unscrupulous aqueduct officials or workers . Official lead pipes carried inscriptions with information on the pipe 's manufacturer , its fitter , and probably on its subscriber and their entitlement . During the Imperial era , lead production became an Imperial monopoly , and the granting of rights to draw water for private use from state - funded aqueducts was made an imperial privilege . Uses ( edit ) Civic and domestic ( edit ) Rome 's first aqueduct ( 312 BC ) discharged at very low pressure and at a more - or-less constant rate in the city 's main trading centre and cattle - market , probably into a low - level , cascaded series of troughs or basins ; the upper for household use , the lower for watering the livestock traded there . Most Romans would have filled buckets and storage jars at the basins , and carried the water to their apartments ; the better off would have sent slaves to perform the same task . The outlet 's elevation was too low to offer any city household or building a direct supply ; the overflow drained into Rome 's main sewer , and from there into the Tiber . At this time , Rome had no public baths . The first were probably built in the next century , based on precursors in neighboring Campania ; a limited number of private baths and small , street - corner public baths would have had a private water supply , but once aqueduct water was brought to the city 's higher elevations , large and well - appointed public baths were built throughout the city , and drinking water was delivered to public fountains at high pressure . Public baths and fountains became distinctive features of Roman civilization , and the baths in particular became important social centres . The majority of urban Romans lived in multi-storeyed blocks of flats ( insulae ) . Some blocks offered water services , but only to tenants on the more expensive , lower floors ; the rest would have drawn their water gratis from public fountains . Farming ( edit ) Between 65 and 90 % of the Roman Empire 's population was involved in some form of agricultural work . Farmers whose villas or estates were near a public aqueduct could draw , under license , a specified quantity of aqueduct water for summer irrigation at a predetermined time ; this was intended to limit the depletion of water supply to users further down the gradient , and help ensure a fair distribution among competitors at the time when water was most needed and scarce . Water was possibly the most important variable in the agricultural economy of the Mediterranean world . Roman Italy 's natural water sources -- springs , streams , rivers and lakes -- were unevenly distributed across the landscape , and water tended to scarcity when most needed , during the warm , dry summer growing season . Columella recommends that any farm should contain a spring , stream or river ; but acknowledges that not every farm did . In summer , rain - fed water sources could fail , and ponds and cisterns grow foul . Farmland without a reliable summer water - source was virtually worthless . It has been estimated that during the growing season , the water demand of a `` modest local '' irrigation system might consume as much water as the city of Rome ; added to this , the livestock whose manure fertilised the fields must be fed and watered all year round . At least some Roman landowners and farmers relied in part or whole on aqueduct water to raise crops as their primary or sole source of income but the fraction of aqueduct water involved can only be guessed at . More certainly , the creation of municipal and city aqueducts brought a growth in the intensive and efficient suburban market - farming of fragile , perishable commodities such as flowers ( for perfumes , and for festival garlands ) , grapes , vegetables and orchard fruits ; and of small livestock such as pigs and chickens , close to the municipal and urban markets . A licensed right to aqueduct water on farmland could lead to increased productivity , an increase in land value and a cash income through the sale of surplus foodstuffs . In the countryside , permissions to draw water from aqueducts for irrigation were particularly hard to get ; the exercise and abuse of such rights were subject to various known legal disputes and judgements , and at least one political campaign ; in the early 2nd century BC Cato tried to block all unlawful rural outlets , especially those owned by the landed elite - `` Look how much he bought the land for , where he is channeling the water ! '' - during his censorship . His attempted reform proved impermanent at best . Though illegal tapping could be punished by seizure of assets , including the illegally watered land and its produce , this law seems never to have been used , and was probably impracticable ; food surpluses kept prices low . Grain shortages in particular could lead to famine and social unrest . Any practical solution must strike a balance between the water - needs of urban populations and grain producers , tax the latter 's profits , and secure sufficient grain at reasonable cost for the Roman poor ( the so - called `` corn dole '' ) and the army . Rather than seek to impose unproductive and probably unenforcable bans , the authorities issued individual water grants ( though seldom in rural areas ) and licenses , and regulated water outlets , with variable success . In the 1st century AD , Pliny the Elder , like Cato , could fulminate against grain producers who continued to wax fat on profits from public water and public land . Some landholders avoided such restrictions and entanglements by buying water access rights to distant springs , not necessarily on their own land . A few , of high wealth and status , built their own aqueducts to transport such water from source to field or villa ; Mumius Niger Valerius Vegetus bought the rights to a spring and its water from his neighbour , and access rights to a corridor of intervening land , then built an aqueduct of just under 10 kilometres , connecting the springhead to his own villa . The senatorial permission for this `` Aqua Vegetiana '' was given only when the project seemed not to impinge on the water rights of other citizens . Industrial ( edit ) Rock - cut aqueduct feeding water to the mining site at Las Médulas Some aqueducts supplied water to industrial sites , usually via an open channel cut into the ground , clay lined or wood - shuttered to reduce water loss . Most such leats were designed to operate at the steep gradients that could deliver the high water volumes needed in mining operations . Water was used in hydraulic mining to strip the overburden and expose the ore by hushing , to fracture and wash away metal - bearing rock already heated and weakened by fire - setting , and to power water - wheel driven stamps and trip - hammers that crushed ore for processing . Evidence of such leats and machines has been found at Dolaucothi in south - west Wales . Mining sites such as Dolaucothi and Las Medulas in northwest Spain show multiple aqueducts that fed water from local rivers to the mine head . The channels may have deteriorated rapidly , or become redundant as the nearby ore was exhausted . Las Medulas shows at least seven such leats , and Dolaucothi at least five . At Dolaucothi , the miners used holding reservoirs as well as hushing tanks , and sluice gates to control flow , as well as drop chutes for diversion of water supplies . The remaining traces ( see palimpsest ) of such channels allows the mining sequence to be inferred . Map of the gold mine at Dolaucothi , showing its aqueducts A number of other sites fed by several aqueducts have not yet been thoroughly explored or excavated , such as those at Longovicium near Lanchester south of Hadrian 's wall , in which the water supplies may have been used to power trip - hammers for forging iron . At Barbegal in Roman Gaul , a reservoir fed an aqueduct that drove a cascaded series of 15 or 16 overshot water mills , grinding flour for the Arles region . Similar arrangements , though on a lesser scale , have been found in Caesarea , Venafrum and Roman - era Athens . Rome 's Aqua Traiana drove a flour - mill at the Janiculum , west of the Tiber . A mill in the basement of the Baths of Caracalla was driven by aqueduct overspill ; this was but one of many city mills driven by aqueduct water , with or without official permission . A law of the 5th century forbade the illicit use of aqueduct water for milling . Decline in use ( edit ) A portion of the Eifel aqueduct , Germany , built in 80 AD . Its channel is narrowed by an accretion of calcium carbonate , accumulated through lack of maintenance . During the fall of the Roman Empire , some aqueducts were deliberately cut by enemies but more fell into disuse because of deteriorating Roman infrastructure and lack of maintenance , such as the Eifel aqueduct ( pictured right ) . Observations made by the Spaniard Pedro Tafur , who visited Rome in 1436 , reveal misunderstandings of the very nature of the Roman aqueducts : Through the middle of the city runs a river , which the Romans brought there with great labour and set in their midst , and this is the Tiber . They made a new bed for the river , so it is said , of lead , and channels at one and the other end of the city for its entrances and exits , both for watering horses and for other services convenient to the people , and anyone entering it at any other spot would be drowned . During the Renaissance , the standing remains of the city 's massive masonry aqueducts inspired architects , engineers and their patrons ; Pope Nicholas V renovated the main channels of the Roman Aqua Virgo in 1453 . Many aqueducts in Rome 's former empire were kept in good repair . The 15th - century rebuilding of aqueduct at Segovia in Spain shows advances on the Pont du Gard by using fewer arches of greater height , and so greater economy in its use of the raw materials . The skill in building aqueducts was not lost , especially of the smaller , more modest channels used to supply water wheels . Most such mills in Britain were developed in the medieval period for bread production , and used similar methods as that developed by the Romans with leats tapping local rivers and streams .

what did the ancient romans build to maintain the supply of water in their cities
[ "The Romans constructed numerous aqueducts throughout the Empire to bring water into cities and towns—often from distant sources. The water supplied public baths, latrines, fountains, and private households. Aqueducts also provided water for mining operations, milling, farms, and gardens." ]

Cell signaling
Cell signaling - wikipedia Cell signaling Jump to : navigation , search For the journal , see Cellular Signalling . Cell signaling ( cell signalling in British English ) is part of any communication process that governs basic activities of cells and coordinates all cell actions . The ability of cells to perceive and correctly respond to their microenvironment is the basis of development , tissue repair , and immunity , as well as normal tissue homeostasis . Errors in signaling interactions and cellular information processing are responsible for diseases such as cancer , autoimmunity , and diabetes . By understanding cell signaling , diseases may be treated more effectively and , theoretically , artificial tissues may be created . Traditional work in biology has focused on studying individual parts of cell signaling pathways . Systems biology research helps us to understand the underlying structure of cell signaling networks and how changes in these networks may affect the transmission and flow of information ( signal transduction ) . Such networks are complex systems in their organization and may exhibit a number of emergent properties including bistability and ultrasensitivity . Analysis of cell signaling networks requires a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches including the development and analysis of simulations and modeling . Long - range allostery is often a significant component of cell signaling events . Contents ( hide ) 1 Signaling between cells of one organism and multiple organisms 2 Classification 3 Cell signaling in multicellular organisms 4 Receptors for cell motility and differentiation 5 Signaling pathways 6 Intraspecies and interspecies signaling 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Signaling between cells of one organism and multiple organisms ( edit ) Figure 1 . Example of signaling between bacteria . Salmonella enteritidis uses N - Acyl homoserine lactone for Quorum sensing ( see : Inter-Bacterial Communication ) Cell signaling has been most extensively studied in the context of human diseases and signaling between cells of a single organism . However , cell signaling may also occur between the cells of two different organisms . In many mammals , early embryo cells exchange signals with cells of the uterus . In the human gastrointestinal tract , bacteria exchange signals with each other and with human epithelial and immune system cells . For the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during mating , some cells send a peptide signal ( mating factor pheromones ) into their environment . The mating factor peptide may bind to a cell surface receptor on other yeast cells and induce them to prepare for mating . Classification ( edit ) Main article : Endocrine system Cell signaling can be classified to be mechanical and biochemical based on the type of the signal . Mechanical signals are the forces exerted on the cell and the forces produced by the cell . These forces can both be sensed and responded by the cells . Biochemical signals are the biochemical molecules such as proteins , lipids , ions and gases . These signals can be categorized based on the distance between signaling and responder cells . Signaling within , between , and amongst cells is subdivided into the following classifications : Intracrine signals are produced by the target cell that stay within the target cell . Autocrine signals are produced by the target cell , are secreted , and affect the target cell itself via receptors . Sometimes autocrine cells can target cells close by if they are the same type of cell as the emitting cell . An example of this are immune cells . Juxtacrine signals target adjacent ( touching ) cells . These signals are transmitted along cell membranes via protein or lipid components integral to the membrane and are capable of affecting either the emitting cell or cells immediately adjacent . Paracrine signals target cells in the vicinity of the emitting cell . Neurotransmitters represent an example . Endocrine signals target distant cells . Endocrine cells produce hormones that travel through the blood to reach all parts of the body . Figure 2 . Notch - mediated juxtacrine signal between adjacent cells . Cells communicate with each other via direct contact ( juxtacrine signaling ) , over short distances ( paracrine signaling ) , or over large distances and / or scales ( endocrine signaling ) . Some cell -- cell communication requires direct cell -- cell contact . Some cells can form gap junctions that connect their cytoplasm to the cytoplasm of adjacent cells . In cardiac muscle , gap junctions between adjacent cells allows for action potential propagation from the cardiac pacemaker region of the heart to spread and coordinately cause contraction of the heart . The notch signaling mechanism is an example of juxtacrine signaling ( also known as contact - dependent signaling ) in which two adjacent cells must make physical contact in order to communicate . This requirement for direct contact allows for very precise control of cell differentiation during embryonic development . In the worm Caenorhabditis elegans , two cells of the developing gonad each have an equal chance of terminally differentiating or becoming a uterine precursor cell that continues to divide . The choice of which cell continues to divide is controlled by competition of cell surface signals . One cell will happen to produce more of a cell surface protein that activates the Notch receptor on the adjacent cell . This activates a feedback loop or system that reduces Notch expression in the cell that will differentiate and that increases Notch on the surface of the cell that continues as a stem cell . Many cell signals are carried by molecules that are released by one cell and move to make contact with another cell . Endocrine signals are called hormones . Hormones are produced by endocrine cells and they travel through the blood to reach all parts of the body . Specificity of signaling can be controlled if only some cells can respond to a particular hormone . Paracrine signals such as retinoic acid target only cells in the vicinity of the emitting cell . Neurotransmitters represent another example of a paracrine signal . Some signaling molecules can function as both a hormone and a neurotransmitter . For example , epinephrine and norepinephrine can function as hormones when released from the adrenal gland and are transported to the heart by way of the blood stream . Norepinephrine can also be produced by neurons to function as a neurotransmitter within the brain . Estrogen can be released by the ovary and function as a hormone or act locally via paracrine or autocrine signaling . Active species of oxygen and nitric oxide can also act as cellular messengers . This process is dubbed redox signaling . Cell signaling in multicellular organisms ( edit ) In a multicellular organism , signaling between cells occurs either through release into the extracellular space , divided in paracrine signaling ( over short distances ) and endocrine signaling ( over long distances ) , or by direct contact , known as juxtacrine signaling . Autocrine signaling is a special case of paracrine signaling where the secreting cell has the ability to respond to the secreted signaling molecule . Synaptic signaling is a special case of paracrine signaling ( for chemical synapses ) or juxtacrine signaling ( for electrical synapses ) between neurons and target cells . Signaling molecules interact with a target cell as a ligand to cell surface receptors , and / or by entering into the cell through its membrane or endocytosis for intracrine signaling . This generally results in the activation of second messengers , leading to various physiological effects . A particular molecule is generally used in diverse modes of signaling , and therefore a classification by mode of signaling is not possible . At least three important classes of signaling molecules are widely recognized , although non-exhaustive and with imprecise boundaries , as such membership is non-exclusive and depends on the context : Hormones are the major signaling molecules of the endocrine system , though they often regulate each other 's secretion via local signaling ( e.g. islet of Langerhans cells ) , and most are also expressed in tissues for local purposes ( e.g. angiotensin ) or failing that , structurally related molecules are ( e.g. PTHrP ) . Neurotransmitters are signaling molecules of the nervous system , also including neuropeptides and neuromodulators . Neurotransmitters like the catecholamines are also secreted by the endocrine system into the systemic circulation . Cytokines are signaling molecules of the immune system , with a primary paracrine or juxtacrine role , though they can during significant immune responses have a strong presence in the circulation , with systemic effect ( altering iron metabolism or body temperature ) . Growth factors can be considered as cytokines or a different class . Signaling molecules can belong to several chemical classes : lipids , phospholipids , amino acids , monoamines , proteins , glycoproteins , or gases . Signaling molecules binding surface receptors are generally large and hydrophilic ( e.g. TRH , Vasopressin , Acetylcholine ) , while those entering the cell are generally small and hydrophobic ( e.g. glucocorticoids , thyroid hormones , cholecalciferol , retinoic acid ) , but important exceptions to both are numerous , and a same molecule can act both via surface receptor or in an intracrine manner to different effects . In intracrine signaling , once inside the cell , a signaling molecule can bind to intracellular receptors , other elements , or stimulate enzyme activity ( e.g. gasses ) . The intracrine action of peptide hormones remains a subject of debate . Hydrogen sulfide is produced in small amounts by some cells of the human body and has a number of biological signaling functions . Only two other such gases are currently known to act as signaling molecules in the human body : nitric oxide and carbon monoxide . Receptors for cell motility and differentiation ( edit ) Cells receive information from their neighbors through a class of proteins known as receptors . Notch is a cell surface protein that functions as a receptor . Animals have a small set of genes that code for signaling proteins that interact specifically with Notch receptors and stimulate a response in cells that express Notch on their surface . Molecules that activate ( or , in some cases , inhibit ) receptors can be classified as hormones , neurotransmitters , cytokines , and growth factors , in general called receptor ligands . Ligand receptor interactions such as that of the Notch receptor interaction , are known to be the main interactions responsible for cell signaling mechanisms and communication . As shown in Figure 2 ( above ; left ) , notch acts as a receptor for ligands that are expressed on adjacent cells . While some receptors are cell surface proteins , others are found inside cells . For example , estrogen is a hydrophobic molecule that can pass through the lipid bilayer of the membranes . As part of the endocrine system , intracellular estrogen receptors from a variety of cell types can be activated by estrogen produced in the ovaries . A number of transmembrane receptors for small molecules and peptide hormones , as well as intracellular receptors for steroid hormones exist , giving cells the ability to respond to a great number of hormonal and pharmacological stimuli . In diseases , often , proteins that interact with receptors are aberrantly activated , resulting in constitutively activated downstream signals . For several types of intercellular signaling molecules that are unable to permeate the hydrophobic cell membrane due to their hydrophilic nature , the target receptor is expressed on the membrane . When such a signaling molecule activates its receptor , the signal is carried into the cell usually by means of a second messenger such as cAMP . This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( November 2007 ) Signaling pathways ( edit ) Overview of signal transduction pathways Figure 3 . Key components of a signal transduction pathway ( MAPK / ERK pathway shown ) Further information : List of signalling pathways In some cases , receptor activation caused by ligand binding to a receptor is directly coupled to the cell 's response to the ligand . For example , the neurotransmitter GABA can activate a cell surface receptor that is part of an ion channel . GABA binding to a GABA receptor on a neuron opens a chloride - selective ion channel that is part of the receptor . GABA receptor activation allows negatively charged chloride ions to move into the neuron , which inhibits the ability of the neuron to produce action potentials . However , for many cell surface receptors , ligand - receptor interactions are not directly linked to the cell 's response . The activated receptor must first interact with other proteins inside the cell before the ultimate physiological effect of the ligand on the cell 's behavior is produced . Often , the behavior of a chain of several interacting cell proteins is altered following receptor activation . The entire set of cell changes induced by receptor activation is called a signal transduction mechanism or pathway . In the case of Notch - mediated signaling , the signal transduction mechanism can be relatively simple . As shown in Figure 2 , activation of Notch can cause the Notch protein to be altered by a protease . Part of the Notch protein is released from the cell surface membrane and takes part in gene regulation . Cell signaling research involves studying the spatial and temporal dynamics of both receptors and the components of signaling pathways that are activated by receptors in various cell types . A more complex signal transduction pathway is shown in Figure 3 . This pathway involves changes of protein -- protein interactions inside the cell , induced by an external signal . Many growth factors bind to receptors at the cell surface and stimulate cells to progress through the cell cycle and divide . Several of these receptors are kinases that start to phosphorylate themselves and other proteins when binding to a ligand . This phosphorylation can generate a binding site for a different protein and thus induce protein -- protein interaction . In Figure 3 , the ligand ( called epidermal growth factor ( EGF ) ) binds to the receptor ( called EGFR ) . This activates the receptor to phosphorylate itself . The phosphorylated receptor binds to an adaptor protein ( GRB2 ) , which couples the signal to further downstream signaling processes . For example , one of the signal transduction pathways that are activated is called the mitogen - activated protein kinase ( MAPK ) pathway . The signal transduction component labeled as `` MAPK '' in the pathway was originally called `` ERK , '' so the pathway is called the MAPK / ERK pathway . The MAPK protein is an enzyme , a protein kinase that can attach phosphate to target proteins such as the transcription factor MYC and , thus , alter gene transcription and , ultimately , cell cycle progression . Many cellular proteins are activated downstream of the growth factor receptors ( such as EGFR ) that initiate this signal transduction pathway . Some signaling transduction pathways respond differently , depending on the amount of signaling received by the cell . For instance , the hedgehog protein activates different genes , depending on the amount of hedgehog protein present . Complex multi-component signal transduction pathways provide opportunities for feedback , signal amplification , and interactions inside one cell between multiple signals and signaling pathways . Intraspecies and interspecies signaling ( edit ) Molecular signaling can occur between different organisms , whether unicellular or multicellular . The emitting organism produces the signaling molecule , secretes it into the environment , where it diffuses , and it is sensed or internalized by the receiving organism . In some cases of interspecies signaling , the emitting organism can actually be a host of the receiving organism , or vice versa . Intraspecies signaling occurs especially in bacteria , yeast , social insects , but also many vertebrates . The signaling molecules used by multicellular organisms are often called pheromones . They can have such purposes as alerting against danger , indicating food supply , or assisting in reproduction . In unicellular organisms such as bacteria , signaling can be used to ' activate ' peers from a dormant state , enhance virulence , defend against bacteriophages , etc . In quorum sensing , which is also found in social insects , the multiplicity of individual signals has the potentiality to create a positive feedback loop , generating coordinated response . In this context , the signaling molecules are called autoinducers . This signaling mechanism may have been involved in evolution from unicellular to multicellular organisms . Bacteria also use contact - dependent signaling , notably to limit their growth . Molecular signaling can also occur between individuals of different species . This has been particularly studied in bacteria . Different bacterial species can coordinate to colonize a host and participate in common quorum sensing . Therapeutic strategies to disrupt this phenomenon are being investigated . Interactions mediated through signaling molecules are also thought to occur between the gut flora and their host , as part of their commensal or symbiotic relationship . Gram negative microbes deploy bacterial outer membrane vesicles for intra - and inter-species signaling in natural environments and at the host - pathogen interface . Additionally , interspecies signaling occurs between multicellular organisms . In Vespa mandarinia , individuals release a scent that directs the colony to a food source .

Middle East map of Köppen climate classification . The Middle East is a transcontinental region centered on Western Asia and Egypt in North Africa . The corresponding adjective is Middle - Eastern and the derived noun is Middle - Easterner . The term has come into wider usage as a replacement of the term Near East ( as opposed to the Far East ) beginning in the early 20th century . Arabs , Turks , Persians , Kurds , and Azeris ( excluding Republic of Azerbaijan ) constitute the largest ethnic groups in the region by population . Minorities of the Middle East include Jews , Assyrians and other Arameans , Baloch , Berbers , Coptic Christians , Druze , Lurs , Mandaeans , Samaritans , Shabaks , Tats , and Zazas . In the Middle East , there is also a Romani community . European ethnic groups that form a diaspora in the region include Albanians , Bosniaks , Circassians , Crimean Tatars , Franco - Levantines , and Italo - Levantines . Among other migrant populations are Bengalis as well as other Indians , Chinese , Filipinos , Indonesians , Pakistanis , and Sub-Saharan Africans . The history of the Middle East dates back to ancient times , with the ( geopolitical ) importance of the region being recognized for millennia . Several major religions have their origins in the Middle East , including Judaism , Christianity , and Islam ; the Baha'i faith , Mandaeism , Unitarian Druze , and numerous other belief systems were also established within the region . The Middle East generally has a hot , arid climate , with several major rivers providing irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas such as the Nile Delta in Egypt , the Tigris and Euphrates watersheds of Mesopotamia , and most of what is known as the Fertile Crescent . Most of the countries that border the Persian Gulf have vast reserves of crude oil , with monarchs of the Arabian Peninsula in particular benefiting economically from petroleum exports .

However , it became more widely known when American naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan used the term in 1902 to `` designate the area between Arabia and India '' . During this time the British and Russian Empires were vying for influence in Central Asia , a rivalry which would become known as The Great Game . Mahan realized not only the strategic importance of the region , but also of its center , the Persian Gulf . He labeled the area surrounding the Persian Gulf as the Middle East , and said that after Egypt 's Suez Canal , it was the most important passage for Britain to control in order to keep the Russians from advancing towards British India . Mahan first used the term in his article `` The Persian Gulf and International Relations '' , published in September 1902 in the National Review , a British journal . The Middle East , if I may adopt a term which I have not seen , will some day need its Malta , as well as its Gibraltar ; it does not follow that either will be in the Persian Gulf . Naval force has the quality of mobility which carries with it the privilege of temporary absences ; but it needs to find on every scene of operation established bases of refit , of supply , and in case of disaster , of security . The British Navy should have the facility to concentrate in force if occasion arise , about Aden , India , and the Persian Gulf . Mahan 's article was reprinted in The Times and followed in October by a 20 - article series entitled `` The Middle Eastern Question , '' written by Sir Ignatius Valentine Chirol . During this series , Sir Ignatius expanded the definition of Middle East to include `` those regions of Asia which extend to the borders of India or command the approaches to India . '' After the series ended in 1903 , The Times removed quotation marks from subsequent uses of the term . Until World War II , it was customary to refer to areas centered around Turkey and the eastern shore of the Mediterranean as the `` Near East '' , while the `` Far East '' centered on China , and the Middle East then meant the area from Mesopotamia to Burma , namely the area between the Near East and the Far East . In the late 1930s , the British established the Middle East Command , which was based in Cairo , for its military forces in the region . After that time , the term `` Middle East '' gained broader usage in Europe and the United States , with the Middle East Institute founded in Washington , D.C. in 1946 , among other usage . Criticism and usage Play media 1957 American film about the Middle East The description Middle has also led to some confusion over changing definitions . Before the First World War , `` Near East '' was used in English to refer to the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire , while `` Middle East '' referred to Iran , the Caucasus , Afghanistan , Central Asia , and Turkestan . In contrast , `` Far East '' referred to the countries of East Asia ( e.g. China , Japan , Korea , etc . ) With the disappearance of the Ottoman Empire in 1918 , `` Near East '' largely fell out of common use in English , while `` Middle East '' came to be applied to the re-emerging countries of the Islamic world . However , the usage `` Near East '' was retained by a variety of academic disciplines , including archaeology and ancient history , where it describes an area identical to the term Middle East , which is not used by these disciplines ( see Ancient Near East ) . The first official use of the term `` Middle East '' by the United States government was in the 1957 Eisenhower Doctrine , which pertained to the Suez Crisis . Secretary of State John Foster Dulles defined the Middle East as `` the area lying between and including Libya on the west and Pakistan on the east , Syria and Iraq on the North and the Arabian peninsula to the south , plus the Sudan and Ethiopia . '' In 1958 , the State Department explained that the terms `` Near East '' and `` Middle East '' were interchangeable , and defined the region as including only Egypt , Syria , Israel , Lebanon , Jordan , Iraq , Saudi Arabia , Kuwait , Bahrain , and Qatar . The Associated Press Stylebook says that Near East formerly referred to the farther west countries while Middle East referred to the eastern ones , but that now they are synonymous . It instructs : Use Middle East unless Near East is used by a source in a story . Mideast is also acceptable , but Middle East is preferred . The term Middle East has also been criticised as Eurocentric ( `` based on a British Western perception '' ) by Hanafi ( 1998 ) . Translations There are terms similar to Near East and Middle East in other European languages , but since it is a relative description , the meanings depend on the country and are different from the English terms generally . In German the term Naher Osten ( Near East ) is still in common use ( nowadays the term Mittlerer Osten is more and more common in press texts translated from English sources , albeit having a distinct meaning ) and in Russian Ближний Восток or Blizhniy Vostok , Bulgarian Близкия Изток , Polish Bliski Wschód or Croatian Bliski istok ( meaning Near East in all the four Slavic languages ) remains as the only appropriate term for the region . However , some languages do have `` Middle East '' equivalents , such as the French Moyen - Orient , Swedish Mellanöstern , Spanish Oriente Medio or Medio Oriente , and the Italian Medio Oriente . Perhaps because of the influence of the Western press , the Arabic equivalent of Middle East ( Arabic : الشرق الأوسط ash - Sharq al - Awsaṭ ) , has become standard usage in the mainstream Arabic press , comprehending the same meaning as the term `` Middle East '' in North American and Western European usage . The designation , Mashriq , also from the Arabic root for East , also denotes a variously defined region around the Levant , the eastern part of the Arabic - speaking world ( as opposed to the Maghreb , the western part ) . Even though the term originated in the West , apart from Arabic , other languages of countries of the Middle East also use a translation of it . The Persian equivalent for Middle East is خاورمیانه ( Khāvar - e miyāneh ) , the Hebrew is המזרח התיכון ( hamizrach hatikhon ) and the Turkish is Orta Doğu . Territories and regions Territories and regions usually within the Middle East Traditionally included within the Middle East are Iran ( Persia ) , Asia Minor , Mesopotamia , the Levant , the Arabian Peninsula , and Egypt .

Other definitions of the Middle East Main articles : Near East and Greater Middle East Various concepts are often being paralleled to Middle East , most notably Near East , Fertile Crescent and the Levant . Near East , Levant and Fertile Crescent are geographic concepts , which refer to large sections of the modern defined Middle East , with Near East being the closest to Middle East in its geographic meaning . The countries of the South Caucasus -- Armenia , Azerbaijan , and Georgia -- are occasionally included in definitions of the Middle East . The Greater Middle East was a political term coined by the second Bush administration in the first decade of the 21st century , to denote various countries , pertaining to the Muslim world , specifically Iran , Turkey , Afghanistan and Pakistan . Various Central Asian countries are sometimes also included .

( December 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Western Wall and Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem The Kaaba , located in Mecca , Saudi Arabia The Middle East lies at the juncture of Eurasia and Africa and of the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean . It is the birthplace and spiritual center of religions such as Christianity , Islam , Judaism , Manichaeism , Yezidi , Druze , Yarsan and Mandeanism , and in Iran , Mithraism , Zoroastrianism , Manicheanism , and the Bahá'í Faith . Throughout its history the Middle East has been a major center of world affairs ; a strategically , economically , politically , culturally , and religiously sensitive area . The world 's earliest civilizations , Mesopotamia ( Sumer , Akkad , Assyria and Babylonia ) and ancient Egypt , originated in the Fertile Crescent and Nile Valley regions of the ancient Near East . These were followed by the Hittite , Greek and Urartian civilisations of Asia Minor , Elam in pre-Iranian Persia , as well as the civilizations of the Levant ( such as Ebla , Ugarit , Canaan , Aramea , Phoenicia and Israel ) , Persian and Median civilizations in Iran , North Africa ( Carthage / Phoenicia ) and the Arabian Peninsula ( Magan , Sheba , Ubar ) . The Near East was first largely unified under the Neo Assyrian Empire , then the Achaemenid Empire followed later by the Macedonian Empire and after this to some degree by the Iranian empires ( namely the Parthian and Sassanid Empires ) , the Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire . However , it would be the later Arab Caliphates of the Middle Ages , or Islamic Golden Age which began with the Arab conquest of the region in the 7th century AD , that would first unify the entire Middle East as a distinct region and create the dominant Islamic ethnic identity that largely ( but not exclusively ) persists today . The Mongols , the Kingdom of Armenia , the Seljuks , the Safavids , the Ottoman Empire , and the British Empire also dominated the region . The modern Middle East began after World War I , when the Ottoman Empire , which was allied with the Central Powers , was defeated by the British Empire and their allies and partitioned into a number of separate nations , initially under British and French Mandates . Other defining events in this transformation included the establishment of Israel in 1948 and the eventual departure of European powers , notably Britain and France by the end of the 1960s . They were supplanted in some part by the rising influence of the United States from the 1970s onwards . In the 20th century , the region 's significant stocks of crude oil gave it new strategic and economic importance . Mass production of oil began around 1945 , with Saudi Arabia , Iran , Kuwait , Iraq , and the United Arab Emirates having large quantities of oil . Estimated oil reserves , especially in Saudi Arabia and Iran , are some of the highest in the world , and the international oil cartel OPEC is dominated by Middle Eastern countries . During the Cold War , the Middle East was a theater of ideological struggle between the two superpowers and their allies : NATO and the United States on one side , and the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact on the other , as they competed to influence regional allies . Of course , besides the political reasons there was also the `` ideological conflict '' between the two systems . Moreover , as Louise Fawcett argues , among many important areas of contention , or perhaps more accurately of anxiety , were , first , the desires of the superpowers to gain strategic advantage in the region , second , the fact that the region contained some two thirds of the world 's oil reserves in a context where oil was becoming increasingly vital to the economy of the Western world ( ... ) Within this contextual framework , the United States sought to divert the Arab world from Soviet influence . Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries , the region has experienced both periods of relative peace and tolerance and periods of conflict particularly between Sunnis and Shiites . Demographics See also : Demographics of the Middle East and Largest metropolitan areas of the Middle East Ethnic groups Main article : Ethnic groups in West Asia Arabs constitute the largest ethnic group in the Middle East , followed by Turkic people . Native ethnic groups of the region include , in addition to Arabs , Jews , Arameans , Assyrians , Baloch , Berbers , Copts , Druze , Kurds , Lurs , Mandaeans , Persians , Samaritans , Shabaks , Tats , and Zazas . Migration 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 . ( January 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) `` Migration has always provided an important vent for labor market pressures in the Middle East . For the period between the 1970s and 1990s , the Arab states of the PersianGulf in particular provided a rich source of employment for workers from Egypt , Yemen and the countries of the Levant , while Europe had attracted young workers from North African countries due both to proximity and the legacy of colonial ties between Franceand the majority of North African states . '' According to the International Organization for Migration , there are 13 million first - generation migrants from Arab nations in the world , of which 5.8 reside in other Arab countries . Expatriates from Arab countries contribute to the circulation of financial and human capital in the region and thus significantly promote regional development . In 2009 Arab countries received a total of 35.1 billion USD in remittance in - flows and remittances sent to Jordan , Egypt and Lebanon from other Arab countries are 40 to 190 per cent higher than trade revenues between these and other Arab countries . In Somalia , the Somali Civil War has greatly increased the size of the Somali diaspora , as many of the best educated Somalis left for Europe , North America and other Middle Eastern countries . Non-Arab Middle Eastern countries such as Turkey , Israel and Iran are also subject to important migration dynamics . A fair proportion of those migrating from Arab nations are from ethnic and religious minorities facing racial and or religious persecution and are not necessarily ethnic Arabs , Iranians or Turks . Large numbers of Kurds , Jews , Assyrians , Greeks and Armenians as well as many Mandeans have left nations such as Iraq , Iran , Syria and Turkey for these reasons during the last century . In Iran , many religious minorities such as Christians , Baha'is and Zoroastrians have left since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 . Religions Main article : Religion in the Middle East Islam is the largest religion in the Middle East . Here , Muslim men are prostrating during prayer in a mosque . Lebanese Christians account for roughly 40.5 % of the population in Lebanon , and have made significant contributions to various different sectors of society . The Middle East is very diverse when it comes to religions , many of which originated there . Islam is the largest religion in the Middle East , but other faiths that originated there , such as Judaism and Christianity , are also well represented . Christians represent 40.5 % of Lebanon , where the Lebanese president , half of the cabinet , and half of the parliament follow one of the various Lebanese Christian rites . There are also important minority religions like the Bahá'í Faith , Yarsanism , Yazidism , Zoroastrianism , Mandaeism , Druze , and Shabakism , and in ancient times the region was home to Mesopotamian religions , Canaanite religions , Manichaeism , Mithraism and various monotheist gnostic sects . Languages The five top languages , in terms of numbers of speakers , are Arabic , Persian , Turkish , Kurdish , and Hebrew . Arabic and Hebrew represent the Afro - Asiatic language family . Persian and Kurdish belong to the Indo - European language family . Turkish belongs to Turkic language family . About 20 minority languages are also spoken in the Middle East . Arabic , with all its dialects , are the most widely spoken languages in the Middle East , with Literary Arabic being official in all North African and in most West Asian countries . Arabic dialects are also spoken in some adjacent areas in neighbouring Middle Eastern non-Arab countries . It is a member of the Semitic branch of the Afro - Asiatic languages . Several Modern South Arabian languages such as Mehri and Soqotri are also spoken Yemen and Oman . Another Semitic language such as Aramaic and its dialects are spoken mainly by Assyrians and Mandaeans . There is also a Oasis Berber - speaking community in Egypt where the language is also known as Siwa . It is a non-Semitic Afro - Asiatic language . Persian is the second most spoken language . While it is primarily spoken in Iran and some border areas in neighbouring countries , the country is one of the region 's largest and most populous . It belongs to the Indo - Iranian branch of the family of Indo - European languages . Other Western Iranic languages spoken in the region include Achomi , Daylami , Kurdish dialects , Semmani , Lurish , amongst many others . The third-most widely spoken language , Turkish , is largely confined to Turkey , which is also one of the region 's largest and most populous countries , but it is present in areas in neighboring countries . It is a member of the Turkic languages , which have their origins in Central Asia . Another Turkic language , Azerbaijani , is spoken by Azerbaijanis in Iran . Hebrew is one of the two official languages of Israel , the other being Arabic . Hebrew is spoken and used by over 80 % of Israel 's population , the other 20 % using Arabic . English is commonly taught and used as a second language , especially among the middle and upper classes , in countries such as Egypt , Jordan , Iran , Kurdistan , Iraq , Qatar , Bahrain , United Arab Emirates and Kuwait . It is also a main language in some Emirates of the United Arab Emirates . French is taught and used in many government facilities and media in Lebanon , and is taught in some primary and secondary schools of Egypt and Syria . Maltese , a Semitic language mainly spoken in Europe , is also used by the Franco - Maltese diaspora in Egypt . Armenian and Greek speakers are also to be found in the region . Georgian is spoken by the Georgian diaspora . Russian is spoken by a large portion of the Israeli population , because of emigration in the late 1990s . Russian today is a popular unofficial language in use in Israel ; news , radio and sign boards can be found in Russian around the country after Hebrew and Arabic . Circassian is also spoken by the diaspora in the region and by almost all Circassians in Israel who speak Hebrew and English as well . The largest Romanian - speaking community in the Middle East is found in Israel , where as of 1995 Romanian is spoken by 5 % of the population . Bengali , Hindi and Urdu is widely spoken by migrant communities in many Middle Eastern countries , such as Saudi Arabia ( where 20 -- 25 % of the population is South Asian ) , the United Arab Emirates ( where 50 -- 55 % of the population is South Asian ) , and Qatar , which have large numbers of Pakistani , Bangladeshi and Indian immigrants . Economy This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( December 2016 ) Main articles : Economy of the Middle East and Middle East economic integration Oil and gas pipelines in the Middle - East Middle Eastern economies range from being very poor ( such as Gaza and Yemen ) to extremely wealthy nations ( such as Qatar and UAE ) . Overall , as of 2007 , according to the CIA World Factbook , all nations in the Middle East are maintaining a positive rate of growth . According to the World Bank 's World Development Indicators database published on July 1 , 2009 , the three largest Middle Eastern economies in 2008 were Turkey ( $794,228,000,000 ) , Saudi Arabia ( $467,601,000,000 ) and Iran ( $385,143,000,000 ) in terms of Nominal GDP . Regarding nominal GDP per capita , the highest ranking countries are Qatar ( $93,204 ) , the UAE ( $55,028 ) , Kuwait ( $45,920 ) and Cyprus ( $32,745 ) . Turkey ( $1,028,897,000,000 ) , Iran ( $839,438,000,000 ) and Saudi Arabia ( $589,531,000,000 ) had the largest economies in terms of GDP - PPP . When it comes to per capita ( PPP ) - based income , the highest - ranking countries are Qatar ( $86,008 ) , Kuwait ( $39,915 ) , the UAE ( $38,894 ) , Bahrain ( $34,662 ) and Cyprus ( $29,853 ) . The lowest - ranking country in the Middle East , in terms of per capita income ( PPP ) , is the autonomous Palestinian Authority of Gaza and the West Bank ( $1,100 ) . The economic structure of Middle Eastern nations are different in the sense that while some nations are heavily dependent on export of only oil and oil - related products ( such as Saudi Arabia , the UAE and Kuwait ) , others have a highly diverse economic base ( such as Cyprus , Israel , Turkey and Egypt ) . Industries of the Middle Eastern region include oil and oil - related products , agriculture , cotton , cattle , dairy , textiles , leather products , surgical instruments , defence equipment ( guns , ammunition , tanks , submarines , fighter jets , UAVs , and missiles ) . Banking is also an important sector of the economies , especially in the case of UAE and Bahrain . With the exception of Cyprus , Turkey , Egypt , Lebanon and Israel , tourism has been a relatively undeveloped area of the economy , in part because of the socially conservative nature of the region as well as political turmoil in certain regions of the Middle East . In recent years , however , countries such as the UAE , Bahrain , and Jordan have begun attracting greater number of tourists because of improving tourist facilities and the relaxing of tourism - related restrictive policies . Unemployment is notably high in the Middle East and North Africa region , particularly among young people aged 15 -- 29 , a demographic representing 30 % of the region 's total population . The total regional unemployment rate in 2005 , according to the International Labour Organization , was 13.2 % , and among youth is as high as 25 % , up to 37 % in Morocco and 73 % in Syria .

what is the most common language spoken in the middle east
[ "Arabic, with all its dialects, are the most widely spoken languages in the Middle East, with Literary Arabic being official in all North African and in most West Asian countries. Arabic dialects are also spoken in some adjacent areas in neighbouring Middle Eastern non-Arab countries. It is a member of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic languages. Several Modern South Arabian languages such as Mehri and Soqotri are also spoken Yemen and Oman. Another Semitic language such as Aramaic and its dialects are spoken mainly by Assyrians and Mandaeans. There is also a Oasis Berber-speaking community in Egypt where the language is also known as Siwa. It is a non-Semitic Afro-Asiatic language." ]

Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game
Chick - fil - A Kickoff game - wikipedia Chick - fil - A Kickoff game This article is about the college football kickoff game . For the college football bowl game , see Peach Bowl . Chick - fil - A Kickoff Game Current logo , used since 2016 Stadium Mercedes - Benz Stadium Location Atlanta , Georgia Previous stadiums Georgia Dome Operated 2008 -- present Payout US $ 1,900,000 per team Sponsors Chick - fil - A ( 2008 -- present ) 2018 matchup Auburn vs. Washington 2019 matchup Alabama vs. Duke ( August 31 ) The Chick - fil - A Kickoff Game is an annual college football game played on the opening weekend of the NCAA Division I FBS season in Atlanta , Georgia . The event coincides with Labor Day weekend in the United States . From its inception in 2008 until 2016 , the game was held in the Georgia Dome . The Georgia Dome 's replacement , Mercedes - Benz Stadium , began hosting the game starting in 2017 . Contents 1 History 1.1 Series summary 2 Game results 3 Future games 4 Records 4.1 By team 4.2 By conference 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) Organizers intended for the game to become a national spotlight game , on par with the Kickoff Classic held in the Meadowlands from 1983 -- 2002 , and the Disneyland Pigskin Classic in the 1990s . In 2008 , ESPN 's College Gameday broadcast from Downtown Atlanta , while ESPN corporate sponsors and local Atlanta - based companies featured prominent displays at Fanzones in Atlanta 's Centennial Olympic Park . Payout to each team depends on the amount of revenue gained in excess of the Kickoff 's $5.5 million budget . In 2008 , Clemson and Alabama were both expected to receive more than $2 million . Series summary ( edit ) The first game , known that year as the Chick - fil - A College Kickoff , was played on August 30 , 2008 , the opening Saturday of the 2008 season . Alabama defeated Clemson 34 -- 10 . Alabama returned to the Chick - fil - A Kickoff for the 2009 game , defeating Virginia Tech to begin the 2009 season . Auburn and UCLA were initially slated to play in 2010 , but Auburn officials later backed out of the offer . ABC attempted to replace Auburn with Georgia Tech , but the switch prompted UCLA to opt out entirely because the game would essentially be a home game for the Atlanta - based Yellow Jackets , with no scheduled return trip to Los Angeles . Finally , an agreement was reached in which LSU and North Carolina would match up . The 2010 game also saw the introduction of a trophy awarded to the winner , the Old Leather Helmet . The 2011 edition was the first Chick - fil - A Kickoff to feature a team that was not a member of the ACC or SEC , the two conferences with tie - ins to the Chick - fil - A Bowl . Boise State of the Mountain West Conference , one of the most successful programs from a BCS non-automatic qualifier conference in recent years , defeated Georgia 35 -- 21 . The Chick - fil - A Kickoff consisted of two games in 2012 . Tennessee defeated NC State 35 -- 21 on Friday night prior to Clemson defeating Auburn 26 -- 19 in the headliner on Saturday . The dual - game idea was first mentioned in the Miami Herald in May 2010 , when Gary Stokan , president of the Chick - Fil - A Bowl , told the newspaper that there was the possibility of having Alabama face Miami in a rematch of the 1993 Sugar Bowl . The 2013 edition was a rematch of the 2009 game . Alabama , the two - time defending BCS national champions , once again defeated Virginia Tech , this time by a score of 35 -- 10 . 2014 would again feature two games . Ole Miss defeated Boise State 35 -- 13 in a Thursday night game . Alabama would defeat West Virginia 33 -- 23 in the headliner on Saturday afternoon . It marked the first ever meeting between Alabama and West Virginia in any sport . The 2015 Chick - fil - A Kickoff Game , which moved to CBS that season , returned to a single game with the ACC 's Louisville Cardinals taking on the SEC 's Auburn Tigers . Auburn defeated Louisville , 31 -- 24 . The 2016 Chick - fil - A Kickoff Game , which moved back to ESPN , featured North Carolina and Georgia , both making their second appearances in the kickoff series . The Bulldogs defeated the Tar Heels 33 -- 24 in the final edition of the game played the Georgia Dome . The 2017 event was the third doubleheader in the series . Alabama defeated Florida State on Saturday evening by a score of 24 -- 7 , serving as the Saturday Night Football season opener . Tennessee defeated Georgia Tech 42 -- 41 in double overtime on Monday evening . The two games were the first in the series to be played in the new Mercedes - Benz Stadium in Downtown Atlanta .

When the panelists question the contestants , the two `` impostors '' may lie whereas the `` central character '' must tell the truth . The setup adds the `` impostor '' element to the format of What 's My Line ? and I 've Got a Secret . The show was created by Bob Stewart and originally produced by Mark Goodson -- Bill Todman Productions . It aired , on networks and in syndication , continuously from 1956 to 1978 and intermittently since then , reaching a total of 26 seasons in 2016 . As of 14 June 2016 , it is one of two game shows in the United States to have aired at least one new episode in at least seven consecutive decades , the other being The Price Is Right . Contents 1 Basic rules 2 History 2.1 1956 -- 1968 , CBS 2.2 1969 -- 1978 , syndication 2.3 1980 -- 1981 , syndication 2.4 1990 -- 1991 , NBC 2.5 2000 -- 2002 , syndication 2.6 2016 -- present , ABC 3 Merchandise 4 International versions 5 Notes 6 External links Basic rules ( edit ) Although there have been some variations in the rules over the years ( including the addition of a secondary game in some versions ) , certain basic aspects have remained consistent throughout all versions of To Tell the Truth . Three challengers are introduced , all claiming to be the central character . The announcer typically asks the challengers , who stand side by side , `` What is your name , please ? '' Each challenger then states , `` My name is ( central character 's name ) . '' The celebrity panelists then read along as the host reads aloud a signed affidavit about the central character . The panelists are each given a period of time to question the challengers . Questions are directed to the challengers by number ( Number One , Number Two and Number Three ) , with the central character sworn to give truthful answers , and the impostors permitted to lie and pretend to be the central character . After questioning is complete , each member of the panel votes on which of the challengers they believe to be the central character , either by writing the number on a card or holding up a card with the number of their choice , without consulting the other panelists . Any panelist who knows one of the challengers or has another unfair advantage is required to recuse or disqualify himself or herself which , for scoring purposes , is counted as a `` wrong vote . '' Once the votes are in , the host asks , `` Will the real ( person 's name ) please stand up ? '' The central character then stands , often after some brief playful feinting and false starts among all three challengers . Occasionally , the central character would be asked to do something else related to their story instead of standing up . The two impostors then reveal their real names and their actual occupations . Prize money is awarded and divided among all three of the challengers , based on the number of `` wrong '' votes the impostors draw . History ( edit ) 1956 -- 1968 , CBS ( edit ) To Tell the Truth was to have premiered on Tuesday , December 18 , 1956 , on CBS in prime time as Nothing But The Truth , but the program title was changed to To Tell the Truth the day before the show 's debut . ( There was one pilot episode titled `` Nothing But The Truth '' , and the pilot / planned title , and the eventual title , both derive from the standard English court oath `` to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth . '' ) The series was recorded in New York City ; initially at CBS - TV Studio 52 , moving to Studio 50 late in its run . The existence of an audience ticket for a taping indicates that the show originated in color at the CBS Broadcast Center in late 1966 . Bud Collyer was the show 's host ( Mike Wallace hosted the pilot ) ; recurring panelists by the 1960s included Tom Poston , Peggy Cass , Orson Bean , and Kitty Carlisle . ( Cass and Carlisle stayed on as panelists for most subsequent editions . ) Earlier regular panelists had included Johnny Carson , Polly Bergen , Jayne Meadows , Don Ameche , Hy Gardner , Dick Van Dyke , Faye Emerson , Hildy Parks , John Cameron Swayze , Betty White , and Ralph Bellamy . Bern Bennett , Collyer 's announcer on Beat the Clock , was the inaugural announcer of To Tell the Truth in the 1950s . Upon Bennett 's transfer to CBS 's Los Angeles studios , Johnny Olson , who in time became the best - known of all Goodson -- Todman Productions announcers , joined the show in 1960 and remained through the end of its CBS runs . On the pilot and the prime - time run , three games were played per episode . For the pilot , a wrong vote from each of the four - member panel and one wrong vote derived from the majority vote of the audience ( a total of five votes ) paid $300 , the total prize money divided among the three challengers . The studio audience also voted with the majority vote counting equally with that of one of a celebrity panelist , thus the maximum of five incorrect votes resulted in $1,500 divided among the challengers . If there was a tie for the highest vote from the audience , and for each panelist who was disqualified , a wrong vote was counted . There was no consolation prize for no wrong votes . For the prime - time run there was no audience vote , thus each wrong vote from the four - member panel paid $250 divided among the three challengers , for a possible $1,000 for a complete stump of four wrong answers . For a period in 1967 , stumping the panel won $1,250 . In A consolation prize of $150 was awarded and divided among the three challengers if there were no wrong votes . For each panelist who was disqualified , a wrong vote was counted . A design element in the set for this series was a platform directly above and behind the emcee 's desk . The contestants stood on this platform during their introduction allowing the camera to pan directly down to the host . They then traveled down a curved staircase to the main stage level to play the game . On Monday , June 18 , 1962 , a daytime five - day - per - week edition was introduced , running at 3 p.m. Eastern , and 2 p.m. Central . The daytime show , also hosted by Collyer , featured a separate panel for its first three years , with actress Phyllis Newman as the only regular . The evening panel took over the afternoon show in 1965 ; in early 1968 , Bert Convy replaced Poston in the first chair . The daytime show was reduced to two games to accommodate a five - minute news break towards the half - hour mark . On the CBS daytime run , each wrong vote paid the three challengers $100 for a possible total of $400 divided among the three challengers for a `` complete stump '' of all four wrong votes . If all the votes were correct , the challengers split a consolation prize of $75 . During the show 's final year and a half , the studio audience also voted , with the majority vote counting equally with that of one of the celebrity panelists , thus a maximum of $500 divided among the challengers could be awarded for the maximum five incorrect votes . If there was a tie for the highest vote from the audience , and for each panelist who was disqualified , a wrong vote was counted . The audience vote was utilized on the nighttime show for its final six episodes . The original daytime panel with Bud Collyer . From left : Sam Levenson , Mimi Benzell , and Barry Nelson . The fourth panel member was Sally Ann Howes . One CBS daytime episode featuring Dorothy Kilgallen , best known as a regular panelist on What 's My Line ? , was broadcast on the East Coast on Monday , November 8 , 1965 , as news of her sudden death was circulated by wire services . The breaking news story prompted CBS newscaster Douglas Edwards to announce her death immediately after To Tell the Truth ended . She had videotaped the program six days earlier , according to the New York Herald Tribune . The newspaper added that Kilgallen and Arlene Francis both pretended to be Joan Crawford while sitting next to the real Crawford in a celebrity segment that the daytime series featured regularly starting in 1965 . The episode was one of the large majority of To Tell the Truth daytime episodes that were destroyed because of the common practice of wiping videotape prior to the invention of the videocassette . This was a different half - hour telecast from the 1962 prime - time episode on which Kilgallen can be seen and heard as one of the panelists . GSN repeated that episode decades later . The prime - time show ended on May 22 , 1967 , with the daytime show ending on September 6 , 1968 . The show was replaced by the expansions of Search for Tomorrow and Guiding Light to 30 minutes , in a scheduling shuffle with The Edge of Night , The Secret Storm , and Art Linkletter 's House Party . Metropole Orchestra leader Dolf van der Linden composed the show 's first theme , `` Peter Pan , '' used from 1956 to 1961 . From 1961 to 1967 , the show switched to a Bob Cobert - penned theme with a beat similar to `` Peter Pan '' , and then to a Score Productions tune during its final CBS daytime season . Most episodes of the original nighttime run of the series were preserved on black - and - white kinescope , along with a few color videotape episodes . Only a handful of shows remain from the CBS daytime series ' first three years because of the then - common practice of wiping videotapes and reusing them due to tight storage space and even tighter budgets . Many daytime episodes ( including some in color ) from 1966 to 1968 exist , including the color finale . Reruns of the black - and - white kinescopes were running on the Buzzr channel as of late April 2016 . 1969 -- 1978 , syndication ( edit ) To Tell the Truth returned only a year later , in autumn of 1969 , in first - run syndication . During the early years of its run , the syndicated Truth became a highly rated component of stations 's early - evening schedules after the Federal Communications Commission imposed the Prime Time Access Rule in 1971 , opening up at least a half hour ( a full hour , usually , on Eastern Time Zone stations ) to fill with non-network fare between either the local or network evening newscast and the start of the network 's prime - time schedule for the evening . Other stations found success running the program in place of a daytime network game or soap opera , or in the afternoon `` fringe '' time period between the end of network daytime programming at 4 : 30 / 3 : 30 Central and the evening newscasts . This edition of the show was again based at the New York CBS - TV Studio 50 until 1971 , when it moved to NBC Studio 6 - A in Rockefeller Center . Each wrong vote in this version was worth $50 to the challengers ; `` complete stumps '' of the entire panel won the challengers a total of $500 . There were two `` games '' per episode , and there was often a live demonstration or video to illustrate the central character 's story after many of the games . The show was first released to local stations on September 8 , 1969 . A total of 1,715 episodes of this version were produced , with the series ending on September 7 , 1978 . Some markets that added the series after its 1969 release opted to carry the show for another season or two in order to catch up on the episodes that had not aired in their viewing area . To host the revival series , Goodson and Todman made a call to original host Bud Collyer . But they had mis - timed their request , as Collyer had been suffering from a series of health issues that caused his death shortly thereafter , and he told the producers , `` I 'm just not up to it . '' The next call they made was to Garry Moore , the former host of I 've Got a Secret . Although he had retired from television a few years earlier following the cancellation of his eponymous TV show , Moore decided the time was right to return and he accepted the offer to host the new series . Regular panelists included Orson Bean during the first year , Peggy Cass , Kitty Carlisle and Bill Cullen , who was also the designated substitute host whenever necessary . Many regulars from the original run appeared , including Tom Poston and Bert Convy . In late 1976 , during the eighth season , Moore was diagnosed with throat cancer and left for the remainder of the season to deal with his illness . As he had done numerous times before , Bill Cullen became his replacement . As Cullen 's time as host continued on , Mark Goodson noted how Cullen 's serving as host , rather than as a panelist , hurt the chemistry he had shared with Cass and Carlisle. ) Gil Fates , `` What 's My Line ? '' , 1978 A decision was made to have Cullen return to being a permanent panelist and give semi-regular panelist Joe Garagiola the hosting position . Garagiola stated that he was `` pinch - hitting '' for Moore , who returned to the series for a farewell performance on the ninth - season premiere in 1977 . Moore explained why he had left the program , then after presiding over one last game announced his final retirement from television and handed the host position to Garagiola permanently . To Tell the Truth ended production at the end of the season . Johnny Olson stayed with To Tell the Truth when it moved to syndication . He left in 1972 , when he moved to Los Angeles to announce the Goodson - Todman revivals of The Price Is Right and I 've Got a Secret . NBC staff announcer Bill Wendell replaced Olson from 1972 -- 77 , with Alan Kalter taking over during the final season . Don Pardo , also an NBC staff announcer , served as backup announcer to Wendell and Kalter . To Tell the Truth used three distinctive sets throughout its nine - year syndicated run . The first , designed by Theodore Cooper and dubbed by some as the `` psychedelic '' set , was used for the first two seasons and the first four weeks of the third ; with one man on the door . The second set was a toned - down set , with two additional men added on the door , and it was used from the fifth week of the third season through the first 30 weeks of the fourth . The third -- and longest - lived -- set , which Cooper also designed , was a blue - hued , gold - accented , block - motif set . This set was used for the remainder of the run . The show was the only edition of Truth to feature a theme song with lyrics . The theme was written and composed by Score Productions chief Robert A. Israel and Truth producer Paul Alter , along with veteran theme composer Charles Fox . The bulk of this version is intact . However , the current status of the first season is unknown , and is presumed to be lost to wiping . GSN has never rerun the first season of the show , and had always begun with the second season . One episode from the first season exists in the UCLA Television and Film Archive . 1980 -- 1981 , syndication ( edit ) On September 8 , 1980 , a new To Tell the Truth series premiered in syndication . The new series was recorded at the same studio at NBC 's Rockefeller Center complex that the previous series had , and Canadian TV personality Robin Ward served as the host , with Alan Kalter returning as announcer . A new theme and set were commissioned for this edition of Truth . Even though previous regulars Bill Cullen , Peggy Cass , and Kitty Carlisle made frequent appearances , there was no regular panel for this edition . The new Truth aired for one season in syndication , but it never recaptured the popularity of the original , and aired its final episode on September 11 , 1981 . Two games were played , and each wrong vote paid the challengers $100 ; $500 was paid if the entire panel had been fooled . No consolation prize was given if the entire panel correctly identified the subject . After the second game , a new game called `` One on One '' was played with the four impostors from earlier . One fact had been purposely withheld from the panel about one of the impostors and it was up to the panelists to determine correctly to which of the impostors it applied . One at a time , each panelist would be given twenty seconds to question the impostor sitting directly across from them and would then say whether he / she believed the fact applied to that impostor . Wrong votes still paid $100 with $500 paid if the panel did not correctly determine to whom the fact pertained . The 1980 edition of To Tell the Truth was a rarity in that it was still based in New York while nearly all television game show production had moved to California . Both To Tell the Truth and The $50,000 Pyramid were the last two broadcast television game shows to emanate from New York until Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? came to television for the first time in 1999 and taped at the ABC Television Center in Lincoln Square . Millionaire continued to tape in New York until 2013 . New York tapings for game shows were then used in 2016 for two ABC primetime game show revivals , Match Game and The $100,000 Pyramid . 1990 -- 1991 , NBC ( edit ) To Tell the Truth returned to a major broadcast network for a run that lasted just nine months from September 3 , 1990 to May 31 , 1991 . After spending many years originating from New York , the show originated for the first time from California at NBC 's Burbank studio complex . The show 's theme music was an orchestral remix of the 1969 -- 78 theme ( minus the lyrics ) , and the show utilized the block - letter logo from 1973 -- 78 . All episodes of this series exist and have aired on GSN in reruns . The show 's two pilot episodes were hosted by actor Richard Kline with Charlie O'Donnell as announcer , and one of these was accidentally aired on September 3 , 1990 in the Eastern Time Zone markets . When the show first made it to air , A Current Affair reporter Gordon Elliott hosted it , with Burton Richardson announcing and O'Donnell serving as his substitute . After eight weeks , a dispute with Elliott 's former employers in Australia forced him off American television altogether temporarily , and he was replaced with then - frequent panelist Lynn Swann . Swann , in turn , left due to his own conflicts , as he was a reporter for ABC Sports at the time ( ABC Sports not only was carrying Super Bowl XXV at the end of that season ; but also with the National Football League expanding the playoff field from 10 teams to the current 12 ; ABC would have a doubleheader on Saturdays for the first two wild - card games ) , and Alex Trebek was brought in to be the permanent host . Trebek missed two episodes due to his wife going into labor during a taping and Mark Goodson filled in for him . When Trebek took the position on To Tell the Truth , he was already hosting Classic Concentration on NBC and Jeopardy ! in syndication . The celebrity panelists for To Tell the Truth during this period included several of the ' 70s panel stalwarts , including Kitty Carlisle , who appeared on a majority of the shows , taking the fourth and most upstage seat . The first seat , furthest downstage , saw Ron Masak and Orson Bean alternate on the panel for 34 of the 39 weeks the series was on air . The chair next to that was occupied by rotating guests , although voice actress Dana Hill appeared in the seat most often . The third chair most often featured David Niven Jr. as a panelist , although Masak and Bean would also sit there if both were to appear on the same program . Polly Bergen and Peggy Cass , who began appearing on the original series , would appear from time to time , and other frequent panelists included Vicki Lawrence , Cindy Adams , and Betty White . The panelists were introduced in twos , with the male panelists escorting the female panelists down the staircase , followed by the host . For one week , Monty Hall ( who would later replace Bob Hilton as a permanent guest host on the 1990 version of Let 's Make a Deal ) , sat in the first seat . Two games were played with two sets of impostors . Any incorrect votes up to two paid $1,000 . If three of the panelists had voted incorrectly , the players split $1,500 . On the pilot , each incorrect vote earned $500 . If the panel was fooled entirely , the players split $3,000 . After the second game , a new version of the `` One on One '' game from the 1980 series was played . A seventh civilian player was brought out with two stories , and a member of the studio audience was given an opportunity to win money by trying to figure out which of the two stories was true . Each panelist was given the opportunity to ask the contestant one question for each story , and after both stories had been presented the audience member chose which one he / she thought was the truth . After the choice was made , the contestant revealed the right answer and if the audience member came up with it , he / she won $500 . If the contestant stumped the audience member , that player won $1,000 . Occasionally , celebrities whose faces were not well known would attempt to stump the audience during this part of the game . For example , Hank Ketcham , the creator of Dennis the Menace and a challenger on the original To Tell the Truth in May 1962 , tried during one episode to convince an audience member that he was really the songwriter to `` Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer '' ( Johnny Marks had actually done this ) , but was unsuccessful in doing so . 2000 -- 2002 , syndication ( edit ) The show then had a two - year run in syndication , starting in 2000 , with John O'Hurley hosting , and Burton Richardson returning as the announcer . The series was again produced at NBC Studios in Burbank , California . Gary Stockdale supplied the music for this edition . In most markets , it was paired up with Family Feud , which was then hosted by Louie Anderson ; O'Hurley would eventually host Feud from 2006 to 2010 . Actor Meshach Taylor was the only regular to appear on every episode of this edition , while Paula Poundstone was a regular during the first season . Panelists appearing in at least 6 weeks of episodes included Brooke Burns , Dave Coulier , Brad Sherwood , Traci Bingham , Kim Coles , and Cindy Margolis . The show 's website touted Coles and Burns as regulars for season two in place of Poundstone , though neither panelist was featured in every show that year . Kitty Carlisle appeared as a panelist for one episode in the first season , making her the only panelist to have appeared on all incarnations of this show to that point . It was Carlisle 's final appearance in the franchise , due to her death in 2007 . This edition of To Tell the Truth brought back the audience vote that the original series had last used . Their vote was revealed after the panel had cast their votes , just before O'Hurley asked for the subject to identify themself . Each incorrect vote paid $1,000 , with a maximum of $5,000 available if the challengers managed to completely fool both the panel and the audience . ( A tie in the audience vote or panel disqualification counted as a wrong vote , as they had in previous versions . ) In the first several weeks of shows , a game that resulted in five incorrect votes was worth $10,000 for the challengers . According to Steve Beverly 's tvgameshows.net , this edition of Truth never received a rating higher than 1.8 . It was cancelled on January 28 , 2002 , only 96 episodes into its second season . However , repeats continued to air through March 15 , 2002 . All episodes of this series exist and have aired on GSN in reruns . 2016 -- present , ABC ( edit ) ABC ordered six episodes of the show , hosted by Anthony Anderson , which taped in July 2015 and began airing on ABC on June 14 , 2016 . Anderson is the second African - American host of the franchise ; the first was Lynn Swann in the short - lived NBC daytime version from 1990 . The first season featured three regular panelists : Betty White , NeNe Leakes and Jalen Rose . White would then gain the distinction of appearing on all three broadcast network versions of the show . Guest panelists included Tracee Ellis Ross , Iliza Shlesinger , Mike Tyson , Brooks Wheelan , Yvette Nicole Brown , and Daymond John . The 2016 version also included a house band , Cheche and His Band of Liars , as well as Doris Day Bowman , Anderson 's mother , as the `` scorekeeper . '' The 2016 version of the show departed from prior versions in a number of ways : Episodes lasted 60 minutes rather than 30 minutes . Contestants did not always claim to have the same name ; some introduced themselves solely by claiming the central character 's story . The questioning period was not split distinctly among the panelists , and Anderson and Bowman occasionally participated in the questioning . Once in each episode , the two impostors from a round participated in `` Before You Go , '' a second round in which one was the central character and the other was again an impostor . Many episodes ended with a stunt performed by one of the central characters . The panelists received one point for correctly identifying central characters , except in the final round , for which two points were awarded . While no mention was made of financial compensation for the impostors or the central characters , the losing panelist ( in the event of a tie , Bowman chooses the loser ) was subjected to `` Tweet a Lie , '' in which the host would post an embarrassing tweet to that panelist 's Twitter account , which they could not delete for the next 24 hours . On August 4 , 2016 , ABC announced it had renewed the show for a second season . The second season debuted January 1 , 2017 . The house band and regular panelists was eliminated ( although Rose still made occasional appearances ) ; Bowman still appeared on each episode . The second season resumed , with new episodes , beginning June 21 , 2017 . Starting with the September 11 , 2017 episode , the scoring system changed from 1 / 2 points per round to 10 / 20 , and the losing panelist became the subject of a `` Fake News '' story read by Anderson ( replacing `` Tweet a Lie '' ) . Also starting with this episode , Anderson took over announcing duties and the set was given some updates . ABC announced that the show would air on Sundays in its 2017 fall schedule , but later delayed the show to the summer 2018 schedule . New celebrity panelists included Mel Brooks and 1990 - 91 series host Trebek , who returns to the show as a panelist , the first former host to appear on a subsequent version as a panelist . ( Two former hosts had appeared on the same run of that series as panelists . ) Merchandise ( edit ) A board game was released by Lowell in 1957 . During the run of the 2000 version , a single - player online game was offered by the short - lived website Uproar.com , and promoted by John O'Hurley at the end of each episode . A video slot machine game , based on the 1969 version , was released to American casinos nationwide by Bally Gaming Systems in 2002 .

when did to tell the truth first air
[ "To Tell the Truth was to have premiered on Tuesday, December 18, 1956, on CBS in prime time as Nothing But The Truth, but the program title was changed to To Tell the Truth the day before the show's debut. (There was one pilot episode titled \"Nothing But The Truth\", and the pilot / planned title, and the eventual title, both derive from the standard English court oath \"to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.\")\nThe series was recorded in New York City; initially at CBS-TV Studio 52, moving to Studio 50 late in its run. The existence of an audience ticket for a taping indicates that the show originated in color at the CBS Broadcast Center in late 1966.[3]\n" ]

Spender Affiliated with Colonists Central Intelligence Agency National Security Agency Federal Bureau of Investigation , The X-Files The Syndicate Duration 1993 -- 2000 , 2002 , 2016 , 2018 Films The X-Files Cigarette Smoking Man ( abbreviated CSM or C - Man ; sometimes referred to as Cancer Man or the Smoking Man ) is a fictional character and one of the primary antagonists of the Fox science fiction - supernatural television series The X-Files . He serves as the arch - nemesis of FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder . In the show 's sixth season , his name is said to be C.G.B. Spender , but Dana Scully suggests this is one of `` hundreds of aliases '' ; the show 's characters and fans continue to refer to him by variations of `` the Smoking Man '' because he is almost always seen chain - smoking Morley cigarettes . In the eleventh season , he reveals his full name to be Carl Gerhard Busch . Although he utters only four audible words in the entire first season of the show , the Smoking Man eventually develops into the series ' primary antagonist . In his early appearances he is seen in the offices of Section Chief Scott Blevins and Assistant Director Walter Skinner , Mulder and his partner Dana Scully 's supervisors . An influential man working for the powers that be , he is a key member in a government - conspiracy unit known only as the Syndicate , who are hiding the truth of alien existence and their plan to colonize Earth . His power and influence remained strong , even after most of the Syndicate was destroyed . The Smoking Man is portrayed by Canadian actor William B. Davis . When Davis first received the role , the character was written as an extra for the pilot episode . He returned for small cameo appearances during the first season , making increasingly more appearances in the seasons that followed . Davis never received an award for his portrayal alone , but he was nominated for ensemble awards . TV Guide included him in their 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time .

One possible version of his past is provided during the fourth - season episode `` Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man '' , in which the conspiracy theorists known as The Lone Gunmen claim Smoking Man was first documented in Baton Rouge , Louisiana , on August 20 , 1940 . His father was an ardent communist activist and a spy for the Soviet NKVD who was executed under the Espionage Act of 1917 `` before his boy could walk . '' His mother was a cigarette smoker who died from lung cancer , also when he was an infant . Since he had no surviving family , he became a ward of the state and was sent to various orphanages in the Midwest . He made no friends and spent most of his time reading . The episode portrays the Smoking Man shooting John F. Kennedy after being signaled by the `` Umbrella man '' ( sitting on the right side ) . The same episode reveals that by the early 1960s he was a US Army captain involved in black ops and intelligence , and that he served alongside Fox Mulder 's father , Bill . The Smoking Man was already involved in the arming of anti-Castro rebels in Cuba and the assassinations of Patrice Lumumba and Rafael Trujillo before he was enlisted by a secret cabal to assassinate President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Dallas . The assassination was motivated by Kennedy 's mishandling of the Bay of Pigs Invasion and the subsequent Cuban Missile Crisis . As part of the mission , the Smoking Man told the designated patsy , Lee Harvey Oswald , to bring the curtain rods as a way to frame him for the murder . Incidentally , it was Oswald himself who introduced the Smoking Man to cigarettes . By 1968 , the Smoking Man had progressed enough in the hierarchy to push himself for the assassination of Martin Luther King , concerned that King was `` talking like a Maoist '' and a threat to the American war effort in Vietnam . He did the deed himself because he had `` too much respect for the man , '' and chose to frame a white racist because of his own sympathy for the Civil Rights Movement . At the same time , the Smoking Man was an aspiring writer of espionage ( and later , science - fiction ) novels starring a fictional version of himself , Jack Colquitt , and based on his own secret activities , but all his drafts were rejected or altered by publishers who found them unrealistic and poorly written . This left him no choice but to continue working for the United States government . By 1991 , the Smoking Man 's power was pretty much absolute . He was in direct talks with Saddam Hussein and involved in one way or another on the Anita Hill - Clarence Thomas controversy , moving the Rodney King trial to Simi Valley , keeping the US government from interfering in the independence of Bosnia - Herzegovina , the Academy Awards nominations , keeping the Buffalo Bills from ever winning the Super Bowl , drugging the Soviet goalkeeper Vladislav Tretiak before the Miracle on Ice , and executing extraterrestrials that survived landing on American soil . Nevertheless , X-Files writer Frank Spotnitz , has stated that this version of events is only one possibility and is not accepted canon . `` My Struggle III '' ( edit ) In the eleventh - season episode `` My Struggle III , '' the Cigarette - Smoking Man reveals his name to be Carl Gerhard Busch ( the name of series creator Chris Carter 's grandfather ) . Other episodes ( edit ) In his first appearance in the series , he oversees FBI agent Dana Scully 's ( Gillian Anderson ) briefing and debriefing , and later disposes of evidence Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny ) and Scully had brought back from their investigation of an alien abduction . With the Smoking Man hiding truth from the public , Mulder seeks to reveal it to the public and the truth about the disappearance of his sister , Samantha . This leads to a rivalry that lasts until the end of the series . In later seasons , it is revealed that he is a member of a group known as the Syndicate , a shadowy organization within the United States government . The episode `` Two Fathers '' reveals his birthname or alias as C.G.B. Spender , and that he was formerly married to Cassandra Spender , with whom he had a son , Jeffrey Spender . He recruits FBI Special Agent Diana Fowley to be a subordinate of his because she has a close relationship with Mulder . In `` One Son '' , Jeffrey finds out that his father , the Smoking Man , forced his mother Cassandra to undergo medical treatments that led to several nervous breakdowns during his childhood years . When the Smoking Man finds out , he seemingly kills Jeffrey . Knowing of the colonization plan , the Alien rebels return to Earth to try to persuade the Syndicate to join their side against their war with the Colonists . Not believing in the strength of the Alien rebels , the Syndicate members meet at El Rico Air Base to be transported to a spaceship to survive the colonization . However , the rebels appear instead of the Colonists and kill all remaining chief members of the Syndicate . Together with Fowley , the Smoking Man escapes the destruction of the Syndicate . Later in the sixth season , there is more evidence that suggested that the Smoking Man is Mulder 's biological father . Eventually in `` The Sixth Extinction II : Amor Fati '' , Fowley comes in disagreement with him . Because of his plans to kill Mulder , Fowley helps Scully in her investigation to locate Mulder , which leads to her death . After the destruction of the Syndicate , the Smoking Man starts to operate as he wishes . However , his cancer resurfaces , and he begins using a wheelchair and has a tracheotomy . In the end , Alex Krycek and Marita Covarrubias betray him in the episode `` Requiem '' , throwing him down a flight of stairs , where they presume him to be dead . Until the ninth season episode `` William '' , the Smoking Man is presumed dead . It is learned that his attempted murder of his son failed , which led him to subject his son to terrible experiments . In the series finale , `` The Truth '' , Mulder and Scully travel through remote New Mexico and reach a pueblo where a `` wise man '' reputedly lives : he is , in fact , the Smoking Man . His condition has worsened since his disappearance , and he lives a primitive life in hiding from the `` New '' Syndicate . After taunting Mulder and Scully , he reveals to Scully what Mulder already knew , that the alien re-colonization of Earth is set for December 22 , 2012 . Shortly after , Smoking Man is again apparently killed by a rocket shot from a helicopter ordered by Knowle Rohrer . For the next 14 years , he is presumed dead . However , he appears again alive but seriously burned and disfigured at the end of `` My Struggle '' ( 2016 ) , the first episode of The X-Files miniseries , stating that the X-Files have been reopened . In the season finale , `` My Struggle II '' , the Smoking Man puts into motion the conspiracy he had been working on all these years , releasing chemtrails into the atmosphere which trigger immune system breakdowns throughout the American population , which had been infected by the Spartan virus through mandatory flu vaccinations . Out of fondness for Mulder , he offers him the cure to the disease , but is rebuffed . The United States is thrown into chaos as the Syndicate plan for depopulation gets underway . However in `` My Struggle III '' , this is shown to be a vision experienced by Scully . It is revealed that the Smoking Man is trying to find Scully 's son William in order to fulfill his plans , and that he is in conflict with a group lead by two other surviving Syndicate members , who want the Smoking Man dead in order to carry out their own agenda . The Smoking Man approaches Walter Skinner to make him a deal , and offers him a chance to survive the end of humanity in exchange for Skinner helping him find William . The Smoking Man also reveals he was responsible for the creation of William , as he impregnated Scully with the use of alien technology . In the season 11 finale `` My Struggle IV '' , the Smoking Man and Reyes follow Mulder , Scully and Skinner to an abandoned factory where they are chasing down William . Skinner points a gun at them and shoots Reyes dead , and the Smoking Man runs Skinner over in his car . The Smoking Man confronts `` Mulder '' ( who is actually William in disguise ) by a waterfront , and during the standoff shoots him in the head and causes him to fall into the water . The real Mulder appears and shoots the Smoking Man , who realizes that he has killed William , and he falls off the edge and into the water , with his body then carried away by the currents . Spin - off media ( edit ) Prior to the tenth televised series of The X-Files in 2016 , Chris Carter worked with IDW Publishing in 2013 to produce a comic - book continuation of the show . It hints that the Smoking Man is alive and indirectly feeding information to both Mulder and The Lone Gunmen . Carter later said that the story from these comics would be disregarded in future television productions . A variation of the comic - book continuation was made canonical with The X-Files : Cold Cases , an Audible adaptation of the series set between the events of the ninth and tenth seasons of The X-Files , in which the Smoking Man presented in the series is revealed to be a shape - shifting alien imitating him . Characterization ( edit ) Kim Manners , a director of several X-Files episodes , said that the Smoking Man was the show 's version of Darth Vader . Some X-Files fans have categorized the Smoking Man as evil , making him out to be the villain . Series creator Chris Carter once called him `` the devil '' , producing a mixed reaction among fans . Some fans , along with the portraying actor , see him as a hero , as he is forced to make choices others are not . The Smoking Man is involved in the Syndicate , a shadow organization which includes members of the United States government that exists to hide from the public the fact that aliens are planning to colonize Earth . The Smoking Man often ruthlessly protects the secrets of the conspiracy , and serves as the main antagonist to Mulder , who has an equally consuming devotion to reveal the truth in the first seven seasons . His stated justification is a desire to prevent the alien colonization for as long as possible ; in the episode `` One Breath '' , he tells Mulder that he is in the conspiracy ( which he calls `` the game '' ) because he believes that the secrets he keeps could , if publicly revealed , threaten the social order that preserves society : `` If people were to know of the things that I know ... it would all fall apart '' . He is at times shown working towards that goal , particularly in connection with developing a vaccine to protect people from the `` black oil '' , a parasitic agent which the alien Colonists use to propagate themselves . Development ( edit ) `` I tried to put myself in the character 's shoes and see the world from his point of view . After all , villains do n't think they are villains '' . -- William B. Davis talking about his character . When first cast for the role , portraying actor William B. Davis thought a show about the paranormal would not last for long . Before joining The X-Files cast , Davis had not smoked a cigarette in twenty years . For the first two episodes he appeared in , he smoked `` real '' cigarettes , but later changed to herbal cigarettes , giving the reason that smoking was dangerous for his health . In at least one early script draft from the `` Pilot '' , a Special Agent named Lake Drazen is present at the meeting near the start of the episode , having chosen Scully for an assignment to evaluate the validity of Mulder 's work on the X-Files . The scene was eventually deleted and replaced , and several crew members have hinted that Agent Drazen became the Smoking Man . Kim Manners said that it seemed all the prominent pieces created for The X-Files were created by `` accident '' . According to Manners , Davis was nothing more than an extra leaning on a shelf . At the start , the producers of the show were not sure about making the Smoking Man the main antagonist . Paul Rabwin commented once that he did not know if Davis could handle the role , because he was not sure if he was a `` good enough '' actor for the role . Manners later commented that Davis knew that the Smoking Man had two different characters , the first being the one played by Davis and the second was the cigarettes . He further stated that the cigarette smoke could tell a `` whole story '' by itself , thanks to Davis ' talent . Fans of the series were active in debating if the Smoking Man was actually dead after the events of the season five premiere `` Redux '' . In his first response , Chris Carter said he had left clues in the episode , and he later officially announced that the character would appear in The X-Files movie . In one of his last comments on the matter , he said , `` Not that we have n't brought deceased characters back before , in flashbacks or more paranormal ways . The great thing about The X-Files is that anything can happen . '' The Smoking Man is the only character in the series , in addition to Mulder and Scully , to appear in both the first episode , `` pilot '' and the last , `` The Truth '' of the series . Portraying actor William B. Davis was listed as CIA Agent in the first season episode `` Young at Heart '' , instead of his usual character , the Smoking Man . Actor Chris Owens for a time portrayed the Smoking Man as a young man in flashbacks . He later plays his son , Jeffrey Spender . Young Cigarette Smoking Man was first played by Craig Warkentin , with Davis 's voice dubbed over in `` Apocrypha '' . Reception ( edit ) While not being nominated for any of his work alone on The X-Files , William B. Davis and several other cast members were nominated in the category `` Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series '' by the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 1997 , 1998 and 1999 but did not win . The character was regularly voted `` The Nastiest Villain '' on television polls during the 90s . TV Guide listed Cigarette Smoking Man 20th in their `` 25 Greatest TV Villains '' list . According to the portraying actor , the character had garnered protest from `` pro-smokers '' . Entertainment Weekly writer Jennifer Armstrong cited the character as an example of the old tradition of having only `` bad guys '' smoking on television . Davis was included in Entertainment Weekly 's list of the 50 Biggest Emmy Snubs , the list 's author saying that the presence of the `` Cigarette Smoking Man '' was as important as `` black oil , alien implants , and Scully 's skepticism '' . The Malaysian newspaper the New Straits Times called the Smoking Man one of the most `` intriguing '' characters of the show . However , Christianity Today said that the mystery behind the Smoking Man had evaporated by the late season episodes . Likewise , Ken Tucker from Entertainment Weekly felt that `` the monotonous evil of Cancer Man '' had `` become actively annoying '' in later seasons of the show , being that his lurking presence did not seem as mysterious anymore . Salon reviewer Jeff Stark felt the show was at its best when you `` did n't exactly know the motivations of the Smoking Man '' . References ( edit ) Notes ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Michael W.

This phrase is related to Paul Revere 's midnight ride , of April 18 , 1775 , which preceded the Battles of Lexington and Concord during the American Revolution . The church is a mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts . It is the oldest standing church building in Boston and is a National Historic Landmark . Inside the church is a bust of George Washington , which Gilbert du Motier , Marquis de Lafayette , reportedly remarked was the best likeness of the first president he had ever seen . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 U.S. bicentennial celebration 3 The bells 4 Steeple damage 5 The other `` Old North '' 6 Crypt 7 Today 8 See also 9 References 10 Further reading 11 External links History ( edit ) The Old North Church was built in December , 1723 , and was inspired by the works of Christopher Wren , the British architect who was responsible for rebuilding London after the Great Fire . Timothy Cutler was the founding rector after serving as third rector of Yale College from 1719 to 1722 . In April 1775 , Paul Revere told three Boston patriots to hang two lanterns in the steeple . These men were the church sexton Robert Newman and Captain John Pulling -- the two of whom historian David Hackett Fischer suggests each carried one lantern up to the steeple -- as well as Thomas Bernard , who stood watch for British troops outside the church . The lanterns were displayed to send a warning to Charlestown patriots across the Charles River about the movements of the British Army . Revere and William Dawes would later deliver the same message to Lexington themselves , but this lantern method was a fast way to inform the back - up riders in Charlestown about the movements of the British ; these back - up riders planned to deliver the warning message to Lexington and Concord in case Revere and Dawes were arrested on the way . The lanterns were hung for just under a minute to avoid catching the eyes of the British troops occupying Boston , but this was long enough for the message to be received in Charlestown . The militia waiting across the river had been told to look for the signal lanterns , and were prepared to act as soon as they saw them . The meaning of two lanterns has been memorized by countless American schoolchildren . `` One if by land , and two if by sea '' is from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 's poem `` Paul Revere 's Ride '' . One lantern was to notify Charlestown that the British Army would march over Boston Neck and the Great Bridge , and two were to notify them that the troops were taking boats across the Charles River to land near Phips farm ( the British Army would take the `` sea '' route ; thus , two lanterns were hung ) . After receiving the signal , the Charlestown Patriots sent out a rider to Lexington , but this rider did not reach his destination and his identity has disappeared from history . He was the one who might have been captured by a British patrol . But the warning was delivered miles away to dozens of towns , first by Revere and Dawes on horses , and then by other men on horses and men who rang church bells and town bells , beat drums , and shot off warning guns . ( The current status of the lanterns is not entirely clear ; one is said to be in the hands of a private collector , another broken during a tour , and yet another is on display at the Concord Museum . ) Us Bicentennial celebration ( edit ) This statue of Paul Revere outside the Old North Church commemorates his memorable ride . President Gerald Ford visited Old North Church on April 18 , 1975 . In his nationally televised speech , the President said , in part : Let us pray here in the Old North Church tonight that those who follow 100 years or 200 years from now may look back at us and say : We were a society which combined reason with liberty and hope with freedom . May it be said above all : We kept the faith , freedom flourished , liberty lived . These are the abiding principles of our past and the greatest promise of our future . Following President Ford 's remarks , two lanterns were lit by Robert Newman Ruggles and Robert Newman Sheet , descendants of Robert Newman , who , as sexton of the Old North Church in 1775 , lit the two lanterns which signaled the movement of British troops . The President then lit a third lantern , which hangs in a window of the church today . On July 11 , 1976 , Queen Elizabeth II visited Boston as part of celebrations honoring the United States Bicentennial , and made reference to the aforementioned celebration events in April 1975 that followed President Ford 's speech . She said : `` At the Old North Church last year , your President lit a third lantern dedicated to America 's third century of freedom and to renewed faith in the American ideals . May its light never be dimmed . '' The Queen and Prince Philip attended a Sunday morning service at the Old North Church , sitting in a pew at the right front . The Rev. Robert W. Golledge led the service and later presented the Queen with a replica of a silver chalice made by Paul Revere . The Queen was shown the iconic statue of Paul Revere by Cyrus E. Dallin near the church before departing in a motorcade to attend a function at the Old State House . The bells ( edit ) Steeple of the Old North Church Eight change ringing bells ( tenor : 13 long cwt 3 qr 5 lb ( 1,545 lb or 701 kg ) in F ) at Old North Church were cast by Abel Rudhall ( Rudhall of Gloucester ) in Gloucester , England in 1744 and hung in 1745 . One bell has the inscription : `` We are the first ring of bells cast for the British Empire in North America , A.R. 1744 . '' The bells were restored in 1894 and in 1975 . They are maintained and rung regularly by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Guild of Bellringers . Steeple damage ( edit ) Sketch of the Old North Church c. 1882 , showing the 1807 steeple that was destroyed in 1954 . The original steeple of the Old North Church was destroyed by the 1804 Snow hurricane . A replacement steeple , designed by Charles Bulfinch , was toppled by Hurricane Carol on August 25 , 1954 . The current steeple uses design elements from the original and the Bulfinch version . The church is now 174 feet ( 53 m ) tall . At its tip is the original weather vane . The other `` Old North '' ( edit ) Main article : Second Church , Boston Before the construction of the `` Old North Church '' ( Christ Church , Boston ) , there was another church in Boston called the `` Old North '' ( Meetinghouse ) . This Congregationalist meeting house was founded in North Square , across the street from what is now called `` Paul Revere 's house '' . This church was once pastored by Cotton Mather , the minister now known largely for his involvement in the Salem witch trials . Crypt ( edit ) In 2009 , an archeologist began examining the estimated 1,100 bodies buried in 37 tombs in the basement . The crypt was in use between 1732 and 1860 , and each tomb is sealed with a wooden or slate door , with many doors covered over by plaster as ordered by the city of Boston in the 1850s . Founding Rector Timothy Cutler and his wife were buried under the altar together . Other notable figures buried under the church include British Marine Major John Pitcairn , who died at the Battle of Bunker Hill and was entombed along with many other soldiers killed in this battle . So is Captain Samuel Nicholson of the USS Constitution . A behind the scenes tour run by the church takes tourists down into the crypt , as well as up to the bell - ringing chamber . Today ( edit ) Old North Church is today one of four church sites among the 16 stops on the Freedom Trail .

who said one if by land two if by sea
[ "In April 1775, Paul Revere told three Boston patriots to hang two lanterns in the steeple. These men were the church sexton Robert Newman and Captain John Pulling—the two of whom historian David Hackett Fischer suggests each carried one lantern up to the steeple—as well as Thomas Bernard, who stood watch for British troops outside the church. The lanterns were displayed to send a warning to Charlestown patriots across the Charles River about the movements of the British Army. Revere and William Dawes would later deliver the same message to Lexington themselves, but this lantern method was a fast way to inform the back-up riders in Charlestown about the movements of the British; these back-up riders planned to deliver the warning message to Lexington and Concord in case Revere and Dawes were arrested on the way." ]

A cloud database is a database that runs on a cloud computing platform , and access to it is provided as a service . Managed database services take care of scalability , backup , and high availability of the database . Azure SQL Database is a managed database service which is different from AWS RDS which is a container service . Microsoft Azure SQL Database includes built - in intelligence that learns app patterns and adapts to maximize performance , reliability , and data protection . It was originally announced in 2009 and released in 2010 . Key capabilities include : Continuous learning of your unique app patterns , adaptive performance tuning , and automatic improvements to reliability and data protection Scaling as needed , with virtually no app downtime Management and monitoring of multitenant apps with isolation benefits of one - customer - per - database Leverage open source tools like cheetah , sql - cli , VS Code and Microsoft tools like Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio , Azure Management Portal , PowerShell , and REST APIs Data protection with encryption , authentication , limiting user access to the appropriate subset of the data , continuous monitoring and auditing to help detect potential threats and provide a record of critical events in case of a breach Contents ( hide ) 1 Popular Use Cases 2 Design 3 Timeline 4 Pricing 5 See also 6 References Popular Use Cases ( edit ) Relational data storage for cloud based applications and web sites Business and consumer web and mobile apps Manage databases for multi-tenant apps ( software - as - a-service ) Quickly create dev and test databases to speed up development cycles Scale production business services quickly and at a known cost Containerize data in the cloud for isolation and security Outsource database management in order to focus on value - added services Design ( edit ) Azure SQL Database shares the SQL Server 2016 codebase .

Timeline ( edit ) 2009 -- Service announced 2010 -- Service went live 2014 -- New version announced 2015 -- Elastic Pools announced Pricing ( edit ) Azure SQL Database is offered either as a Standalone database or Elastic database pool , and is priced in three tiers : Basic , Standard and Premium . Each tier offers different performance levels to accommodate a variety of workloads . The resources available for Standalone databases are expressed in terms of Database Transaction Units ( DTUs ) and for elastic pools in terms of elastic DTUs or eDTUs . A DTU is defined as a blended measure of CPU , memory , and data I / O and transaction log I / O in a ratio determined by an OLTP benchmark workload designed to be typical of real - world OLTP workloads . Databases are available as Standalone databases or in database pools which allow multiple databases to share storage and compute resources . Service tier Target workloads Basic Best suited for a small database , supporting typically one single active operation at a given time . Examples include databases used for development or testing , or small - scale infrequently used applications . Standard The go - to option for most cloud applications , supporting multiple concurrent queries . Examples include workgroup or web applications . Premium Designed for high transactional volume , supporting many concurrent users and requiring the highest level of business continuity capabilities . Examples are databases supporting mission critical applications . It is also available as a limited service offering with a trial Web site or Mobile service and eligible for use with an Azure trial subscription .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Books 1.1 The Maze Runner 1.2 The Scorch Trials 1.3 The Death Cure 1.4 The Kill Order 1.5 The Fever Code 1.6 Companion book 1.6. 1 The Maze Runner Files 2 Characters 3 Critical reception 4 Film adaptations 5 References Books ( edit ) The Maze Runner ( edit ) Main article : The Maze Runner The Maze Runner is the first book in the series and was released on October 6th , 2009 . A number of teenagers , who call themselves `` The Gladers '' , are left in a strange place which they call `` The Glade '' . Beyond the walls of the Glade is the ever - changing maze , with its horrifying creatures , the Grievers . Every month a newcomer , or greenie , joins the Gladers , sent by a lift with all past memories ( except language and other common things ) wiped out . The only thing that they really do remember is their name . The ultimate goal of the remaining Gladers , is to find a way out of the Glade . To do so , the runners venture into the maze every day , to map it in an attempt to find a pattern in the maze that would lead them to find an exit . When Thomas , a curious newcomer , arrives at the Glade and ventures into the maze , unusual things begin to happen . The Scorch Trials ( edit ) Main article : The Scorch Trials The Scorch Trials is the second book in the series and was released on September 18 , 2010 . The Gladers thought that getting through the maze was it ; except they did not know that their world was scorched by the sun . The Gladers did not know that they would have to fight for their lives another time . Burning and naked , the earth is a wasteland , its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare . Instead of freedom , the Gladers must face another trial . They must survive the scorch trials to find their happy ending . The Death Cure ( edit ) Main article : The Death Cure The Death Cure is the third book in the series and was released on October 11 , 2011 . Thomas is locked up in solitary confinement for four weeks . He is then released , and Assistant Director Janson ( Rat Man ) reveals to him and the other subjects ( including Group B) that there is no cure for the Flare but that most of the Gladers and Group B are immune . He warns them that many people in the outside world hate them because of their unnatural resistance to the Flare , and that if they escape they will most likely be in more danger . Later , all Gladers and Group B members have memory restoration and escape . Thomas , Newt and Minho refuse . They later escape with Jorge and Brenda . They then go to a city and have WICKED 's devices in their brain disabled . They join forces with Right Arm , an organization against WICKED .

He also stated that he had originally planned to write a prequel for the series , but that the plans did not become official until he had completed the third book in the trilogy . Before WICKED was formed , before the Glade was built , before Thomas entered the Maze , Sun Flares hit the earth and mankind was ravaged by disease . Mark and Trina were there when it happened , and they survived . Now a disease of rage and lunacy races across the eastern United States , and there 's something suspicious about its origin and it 's mutating , and all evidence suggests that it will bring humanity to its knees . Mark and Trina are convinced there 's a way to save those left living from descending into madness .

It is the second prequel in the series and the fifth installment overall , preceded by The Kill Order and followed by The Maze Runner . The book is chronologically set in between the events of The Kill Order and immediately before The Maze Runner . The novel is written from the various points of view of the Gladers . The book primarily focuses on the training that Thomas and the others undergo before being sent into the Maze , however , it also explores the relationships between the Gladers before they underwent the `` Swipe '' , the `` Purge '' that is briefly mentioned in The Death Cure and the lives of the Gladers in Thomas ' absence , as he is working with WICKED at the time .

Critical reception ( edit ) Book retailer Barnes & Noble included The Maze Runner book as part of its showcasing of new writers for the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 . Kirkus Reviews wrote , `` Hard to put down , this is clearly just a first installment , and it will leave readers dying to find out what comes next '' . Jessica Harrison of the Deseret Morning News labeled The Maze Runner as `` a thrilling adventurous book for kids ages 13 + that will get readers ' hearts pumping and leave them asking for more . '' She noted that it `` starts out a bit slow '' but as it matched Thomas 's confusion and picked up pace as he became more accustomed , she wrote that `` it 's almost as if Dashner is easing the reader into what becomes a fast - paced , nonstop action . '' However , she thought the `` only drawback '' was the `` fictionalized slang '' that although it `` feels realistic and fits with his characters , it gets old pretty fast . On the plus side , however , it 's used so often that the reader almost becomes desensitized and learns to ignore it . '' Film adaptations ( edit ) Main article : Maze Runner ( film series ) The Maze Runner : Development for the film began in January 2011 when 20th Century Fox purchased the film rights to Dashner 's novel series . Principal photography began in Baton Rouge , Louisiana in May 2013 and ended in July . It was released on September 19 , 2014 . Maze Runner : The Scorch Trials : Principal photography commenced in Albuquerque , New Mexico in October 2014 and ended in January 2015 . It was released on September 18 , 2015 .

Blood urea nitrogen
Blood urea nitrogen - wikipedia Blood urea nitrogen Jump to : navigation , search `` BUN '' redirects here . For other uses , see Bun ( disambiguation ) . Blood urea nitrogen Medical diagnostics Urea MeSH D001806 LOINC 6299 - 2 , 59570 - 2 , 12961 - 9 , 12963 - 5 , 12962 - 7 ( edit on Wikidata ) Blood urea nitrogen ( BUN ) is a medical test that measures the amount of urea nitrogen found in blood . The liver produces urea in the urea cycle as a waste product of the digestion of protein . Normal human adult blood should contain between 6 and 20 mg of urea nitrogen per 100 ml ( 6 -- 20 mg / dL ) of blood . Individual laboratories will have different reference ranges as the assay used will vary between laboratories . Contents ( hide ) 1 Interpretation 2 Units 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Interpretation ( edit ) Blood urea nitrogen ( BUN ) is an indication of renal ( kidney ) health . The normal range is 1.8 - 7.1 mmol / L or 6 -- 20 mg / dL . Blood urea nitrogen levels can also help identify damage to body systems and diseases of the digestive , circulatory and respiratory systems . The main causes of an increase in BUN are : high protein diet , decrease in glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) ( suggestive of renal failure ) and in blood volume ( hypovolemia ) , congestive heart failure , gastrointestinal hemorrhage , fever and increased catabolism . Hypothyroidism can cause both decreased GFR and hypovolemia , however BUN - to - creatinine ratio has been found to be lowered in hypothyroidism and raised in hyperthyroidism . The main causes of a decrease in BUN are severe liver disease , anabolic state , and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone . Reference ranges for blood tests , comparing urea ( yellow at right ) to other blood constituents . Another rare cause of a decreased BUN is ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency , which is a genetic disorder inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern . OTC Deficiency is also accompanied by hyperammonemia and high orotic acid levels . Units ( edit ) BUN ( urea - N ) is mg / dL in the United States , Mexico , Italy , Austria , and Germany . Elsewhere , the concentration of urea is reported as mmol / L , generally depending on the lab . BUN ( urea - N ) SI unit is mmol / L BUN ( mmol / L ) = BUN ( mg / dL ) * 0.3571 To convert from mg / dL of blood urea nitrogen to mmol / L of urea , multiply by 0.357 ( each molecule of urea having 2 nitrogens , each of molar mass 14g / mol ) ( BUN is the mass of nitrogen within urea / volume , not the mass of urea ) Urea ( mmol / L ) = BUN ( mg / dL of nitrogen ) x 10 ( dL / L ) / 14x2 ( mg N / mmol urea ) ( the mass of nitrogen within urea is used ) convert BUN to urea in mg / dL by using following formula : Urea ( mg / dL ) = BUN ( mg / dL ) * 2.14 ( conversion factor derived by : MW of urea = 60 , MW of urea nitrogen = 14x2 = > 60 / 28 = 2.14 ) factor = 1 for conversions in mmol ( 1 mole N2 = 2 moles N per mole of urea ) : BUN ( mmol / L ) = urea ( mmol / L ) See also ( edit ) BUN - to - creatinine ratio Kt / V Urea reduction ratio ( URR ) Urine urea nitrogen Standardized Kt / V References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Last page of Deepak A.

History of the United Arab Emirates
History of the United Arab Emirates - wikipedia History of the United Arab Emirates Jump to : navigation , search The United Arab Emirates ( UAE ) is a country on the Arabian Peninsula located on the southeastern coast of the Persian Gulf and the northwestern coast of the Gulf of Oman . The UAE consists of seven emirates and was founded on 2 December 1971 as a federation . Six of the seven emirates ( Abu Dhabi , Dubai , Sharjah , Ajman , Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah ) combined on that date . The seventh , Ras Al Khaimah , joined the federation on 10 February 1972 . The seven sheikhdoms were formerly known as the Trucial States , in reference to the treaty relations established with the British in the 19th Century . Artefacts uncovered in the UAE show a long history of human habitation and regional trade including with Mesopotamia . The area was settled by a number of tribes along both the coast and interior and was Islamised in the seventh century . A number of incursions and bloody battles took place along the coast when the Portuguese , under Albuquerque , invaded the area . Conflicts between the maritime communities of the Trucial Coast and the British led to the sacking of Ras Al Khaimah by British forces in 1809 and again in 1819 , which resulted in the first of a number of British treaties with the Trucial Rulers in 1820 . These treaties , including the Treaty of Perpetual Maritime Peace , signed in 1853 , led to peace and prosperity along the coast which lasted until the 1930s , when the pearl trade collapsed , leading to significant hardship among the coastal communities . A British decision , taken in early 1968 , to withdraw from its involvement in the Trucial States , led to the decision to found a Federation . This was agreed between two of the most influential Trucial Rulers , Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi and Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum of Dubai . The two invited other Trucial Rulers to join the Federation . At one stage it seemed likely Bahrain and Qatar would also join the Union , but both eventually decided on independence . Today , the UAE is a modern , oil exporting country with a highly diversified economy , with Dubai in particular developing into a global hub for tourism , retail , and finance , home to the world 's tallest building , and largest man - made seaport .

These tools resemble the types used by early modern humans in East Africa . Through the technique of Thermoluminescence dating the artefacts were placed between 100,000 and 125,000 years old . This is the earliest evidence of modern humans found anywhere outside Africa and implies modern humans left Africa much earlier than previously thought . The site of these discoveries has been preserved alongside finds of later cultures , including tombs and other finds from the Umm Al Nar , Wadi Suq and Islamic periods , at Sharjah 's Mleiha Archaeological Centre . During the glacial maximum period , 68000 to 8000 BC , Eastern Arabia is thought to have been uninhabitable . Finds from the stone age Arabian Bifacial and Ubaid cultures ( including stone arrow and axe heads as well as Ubaid pottery ) show human habitation in the area from 5000 to 3100 BC . The Hafit era , producing distinctive burial sites as well as finds of Jamdat Nasr pottery , stretched from 3100 to 2500 BC . Umm Al - Nar and Wadi Suq cultures ( edit ) Main article : Umm al - Nar Culture Umm al - Nar ( also known as Umm an - Nar ) was a bronze age culture variously defined by archaeologists as existing around 2600 and 2000 BC in the area of the modern - day United Arab Emirates and Oman . The etymology derives from the island of the same name which lies adjacent to Abu Dhabi . The key site is well protected , but its location between a refinery and a sensitive military area means public access is currently restricted . The UAE authorities are working to improve public access to the site , and plan to make this part of the Abu Dhabi cultural locations . One element of the Umm al - Nar culture is circular tombs typically characterized by well fitted stones in the outer wall and multiple human remains within . The Umm al - Nar culture , as indicated from inland 3rd millennium BC , covers around five or six centuries ( 2600 / 2500 - 2000 BC ) . It was followed by the Wadi Suq Culture , which dominated the region from 2000 to 1300 BC . Key archaeological sites pointing to major trading cities extant during both periods exist on both the Western and Eastern coasts of the UAE and in Oman , including Dalma , Umm Al Nar , Sufouh , Ed Dur , Tell Abraq , Shimal and Kalba . The domestication of camels and other animals took place during the Wadi Suq era , leading to increased inland settlement and the cultivation of diverse crops , including the date palm . Increasingly sophisticated metallurgy , pottery and stone carving led to more sophisticated weaponry and other implements even as evidence of strong trading links with the Indus Valley and Mesopotamia dwindled . From 1200 BC to the advent of Islam in Eastern Arabia , through three distinctive iron ages ( Iron age 1 , 1200 - 1000 BC ; Iron age 2 , 1000 - 600 BC and Iron age 3 600 - 300 BC ) and the Mleiha period ( 300 BC onward ) , the area was variously occupied by Archaemenid and other forces and saw the construction of fortified settlements and extensive husbandry thanks to the development of the falaj irrigation system . Advent of Islam ( edit ) Main article : Islam in the United Arab Emirates The arrival of envoys from Muhammad in 632 heralded the conversion of the region to Islam . After Muhammad 's death , one of the major battles of the Ridda Wars was fought at Dibba , in present - day Fujairah . The defeat of the non-Muslims in this battle resulted in the triumph of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula . In 637 , Julfar ( today Ras al - Khaimah ) was used as a staging post for the conquest of Iran . Over many centuries , Julfar became a wealthy port and pearling centre from which dhows travelled throughout the Indian Ocean . Trucial sheikhs ( edit ) See also : Piracy in the Persian Gulf Wikisource has original text related to this article : General Treaty for the Cessation of Plunder and Piracy by Land and Sea Portions of what is now the UAE came under the direct influence of the Ottoman Empire during the 16th century . Portuguese expansion into the Indian Ocean in the early 16th century following Vasco da Gama 's route of exploration resulted in the sacking of many coastal towns by the Portuguese . Thereafter , the region was known to the British as the `` Pirate Coast '' , as raiders based there harassed the shipping industry despite both European and Omani navies patrolling the area from the 17th to 19th centuries . British expeditions to protect the Indian trade from raiders at Ras al - Khaimah led to campaigns against that headquarters and other harbours along the coast in 1819 . The next year , a peace treaty was signed to which all the sheikhs of the coast adhered . Raids continued intermittently until 1835 , when the sheikhs agreed not to engage in hostilities at sea . In 1853 , they signed a treaty with the United Kingdom , under which the sheikhs ( the Trucial Sheikhdoms ) agreed to a `` perpetual maritime truce '' . It was enforced by the United Kingdom , and disputes among sheikhs were referred to the British for settlement . Flag of the Trucial Coast The British era ( edit ) Primarily in reaction to the ambitions of other European countries , the United Kingdom and the Trucial Sheikhdoms established closer bonds in an 1892 treaty , similar to treaties entered into by the UK with other Persian Gulf principalities . The sheikhs agreed not to dispose of any territory except to the United Kingdom and not to enter into relationships with any foreign government other than the United Kingdom without its consent . In return , the British promised to protect the Trucial Coast from all aggression by sea and to help in case of land attack . In her book `` The Judicial System in The Trucial Coast '' , Noora Saqr Al Falahi argues that the 1892 treaty had a profound role in isolating the country for a long time which has impeded development in comparison to other communities in the region at the time . The rise and Fall of the pearling industry ( edit ) A map of the area in 1914 During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries , the pearling industry thrived in the relative calm at sea , providing both income and employment to the people of the Persian Gulf . It began to become a good economic resource for the local people . The First World War had a severe impact on the pearl fishery , but it was the Great Depression of the late 1920s and early 1930s , coupled with the Japanese invention of the cultured pearl , that all but destroyed it . The industry eventually faded away shortly after the Second World War , when the newly independent Government of India imposed heavy taxation on pearls imported from the Arab states of the Persian Gulf . The decline of pearling resulted in a very difficult era , with little opportunity to build any infrastructure . The beginning of the oil era ( edit ) In the 1930s , the first oil company teams carried out preliminary surveys . An onshore concession was granted to Petroleum Development ( Trucial Coast ) in 1939 , and an offshore concession to D'Arcy Exploration Ltd in 1952 . Oil was discovered under an old pearling bed in the Persian Gulf , Umm Shaif , in 1958 , and in the desert at Murban in 1960 . The first cargo of crude was exported from Jabel Dhanna in Abu Dhabi in 1962 . As oil revenues increased , the ruler of Abu Dhabi , Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan , undertook a massive construction program , building schools , housing , hospitals and roads . When Dubai 's oil exports commenced in 1969 , Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum , the ruler of Dubai , was also able to use oil revenues to improve his people 's quality of life . Border disputes ( edit ) In 1955 , the United Kingdom sided with Abu Dhabi in the latter 's dispute with Oman over the Buraimi Oasis , another territory to the south . A 1974 agreement between Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia would have settled the Abu Dhabi -- Saudi border dispute ; however , the agreement has yet to be ratified by the UAE government and is not recognised by the Saudi government . The border with Oman also remains officially unsettled , but the two governments agreed to delineate the border in May 1999 . Sheikh Zayed and the union ( edit ) Al Fahdi Fort in Dubai in the late 1950s In the early 1960s , oil was discovered in Abu Dhabi , an event that led to quick unification calls made by UAE sheikdoms . Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan became ruler of Abu Dhabi in 1966 , and the British started losing their oil investments and contracts to U.S. oil companies . The British had earlier started a development office that helped in some small developments in the emirates . The sheikhs of the emirates then decided to form a council to coordinate matters between them and took over the development office . They formed the Trucial States Council , and appointed Adi Bitar , Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum 's legal advisor , as Secretary General and Legal Advisor to the Council . This council was terminated once the United Arab Emirates was formed . Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Independence ( edit ) By 1966 , the British government had come to the conclusion that it could no longer afford to govern what is now the United Arab Emirates . Much deliberation took place in the British parliament , with a number of MPs arguing that the Royal Navy would not be able to defend the Trucial Sheikhdoms . Denis Healey , who , at the time , was the UK Secretary of State for Defence , reported that the British Armed Forces were severely overextended , and in some respects , dangerously under - equipped to defend the Sheikhdoms . On 24 January 1968 , British Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced the decision to end the treaty relationships with the seven Trucial Sheikhdoms which had been , together with Bahrain and Qatar , under British protection . The British decision to withdraw was reaffirmed in March 1971 by Prime Minister Edward Heath . Days after the announcement Sheikh Zayed , fearing vulnerability , tried to persuade the British to honour the protection treaties by offering to pay in full the costs of keeping the British Armed Forces in the Emirates . The British Labour government rebuffed the offer . Federation of Emirates ( edit ) The first conference on the Gulf federation in Abu Dhabi , 1968 . After Labour MP Goronwy Roberts informed Sheikh Zayed of the news of British withdrawal , the nine Persian Gulf sheikhdoms attempted to form a federation of Arab emirates . The federation was first proposed in February 1968 when the rulers of Abu Dhabi and Dubai met in the desert location of Argoub El Sedirah and agreed on the principle of Union . They announced their intention to form a coalition , extending an invitation to other Persian Gulf states to join . Later that month , in a summit meeting attended by the rulers of Bahrain , Qatar and the Trucial Coast , the government of Qatar proposed the formation of a federation of Arab Emirates to be governed by a higher council composing of nine rulers . This proposal was accepted and a declaration of union was approved . There were , however , several disagreements between the rulers on matters such as the location of the capital , the drafting of the constitution and the distribution of ministries . The proposed federation of Arab emirates . Further political issues surfaced as a result of Bahrain attempting to impose a leading role in the nine - state union , as well as the emergence of a number of differences between the rulers of the Trucial Coast , Bahrain and Qatar , the latter two being in a long - running dispute over the Hawar Islands . While Dubai 's ruler , Sheikh Rashid , had a strong connection to the Qatari ruling family , including the royal intermarriage of his daughter with the son of the Qatari emir , the relationship between Abu Dhabi and Dubai ( also cemented by intermarriage , Rashid 's wife was a member of Abu Dhabi 's ruling family ) was to endure the break - up of the talks with both Bahrain and Qatar . Overall , there were only four meetings between the nine rulers . The last such meeting , which took place in Abu Dhabi , saw Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan elected as the first president of the federation . There were stalemates on numerous issues during the meeting , including the position of vice-president , the defence of the federation , and whether a constitution was required . Shortly after the meeting , the Political Agent in Abu Dhabi revealed the British government 's interests in the outcome of the session , prompting Qatar to withdraw from the federation apparently over what it perceived as foreign interference in internal affairs . The nine - emirate federation was consequently disbanded despite efforts by Saudi Arabia , Kuwait and Britain to reinvigorate discussions . Bahrain became independent in August 1971 , and Qatar in September 1971 . 1971 -- 1972 ( edit ) When the British - Trucial Sheikhdoms treaty expired on December 1 , 1971 , the Trucial States became fully independent sheikhdoms . Four more of the Trucial states ( Ajman , Sharjah , Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah ) , had decided to join Abu Dhabi and Dubai in signing the UAE 's founding treaty , with a draft constitution in place drafted in record time to meet the December 2 , 1971 deadline . On that date , at the Dubai Guesthouse ( now known as Union House ) , the emirates agreed to enter into a union to be called the United Arab Emirates . Ras al - Khaimah joined later , following Iran 's swift annexation of the Tunbs islands , in early 1972 . The move to form a union took place at a time of unprecedented instability in the region , with a border dispute killing 22 in Kalba and a coup in Sharjah in January 1972 . The then emir of Qatar was deposed by his cousin in February 1972 . 1973 - 2003 ( edit ) After the 9 / 11 terrorist attacks on the United States , the UAE was identified as a major financial centre used by Al - Qaeda in transferring money to the hijackers . The nation immediately cooperated with the United States , freezing accounts tied to suspected terrorists and strongly clamping down on money laundering . The country had already signed a military defence agreement with the United States in 1994 and one with France in 1995 . The UAE supports military operations from the United States and other coalition nations engaged in the invasion of Afghanistan ( 2001 ) and Iraq ( 2003 ) as well as operations supporting the Global War on Terrorism for the Horn of Africa at Al Dhafra Air Base , located outside of Abu Dhabi . The air base also supported Allied operations during the 1991 Persian Gulf War and Operation Northern Watch . 2004 - 2008 ( edit ) On 2 November 2004 , the UAE 's first president , Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan , died . His eldest son , Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan , succeeded him as ruler of Abu Dhabi . In accordance with the constitution , the UAE 's Supreme Council of Rulers elected Khalifa as president . Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed Al Nahyan succeeded Khalifa as Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi . In January 2006 , Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum , the prime minister of the UAE and the ruler of Dubai , died , and Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum assumed both roles . In March 2006 , the United States forced the state - owned Dubai Ports World to relinquish control of terminals at six major American ports . Critics of the ports deal feared an increased risk of terrorist attack , saying the UAE had been home to two of the 9 / 11 hijackers . In December 2006 , the UAE prepared for its first election to determine half the members of UAE 's Federal National Council from 450 candidates . However , only 7000 Emirati citizens , less than 1 % of the Emirati population , were given the right to vote in the election . The exact manner of selection was opaque . Notably , women were included in the electorate . 2017 - present ( edit ) In 2011 , the Middle East saw a number of pro-democratic uprisings , popularly known as the Arab Spring . The UAE saw comparatively little unrest , but did face one high - profile case in which five pro-democracy activists were arrested on charges of insulting the president , Sheikh Khalifa , the vice president , Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum , and the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi ( and presumed successor to Sheikh Khalifa ) , Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan . The trial of the UAE Five attracted international publicity and protest from a number of human rights groups , including Amnesty International , which named the five men prisoners of conscience . The defendants were convicted and given two - to three - year prison sentences on 27 November 2011 . However , all five were pardoned without comment by Sheikh Khalifa the following day .

when did the united arab emirates gain independence
[ "By 1966, the British government had come to the conclusion that it could no longer afford to govern what is now the United Arab Emirates. Much deliberation took place in the British parliament, with a number of MPs arguing that the Royal Navy would not be able to defend the Trucial Sheikhdoms. Denis Healey, who, at the time, was the UK Secretary of State for Defence, reported that the British Armed Forces were severely overextended, and in some respects, dangerously under-equipped to defend the Sheikhdoms. On 24 January 1968, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced the decision to end the treaty relationships with the seven Trucial Sheikhdoms which had been, together with Bahrain and Qatar, under British protection. The British decision to withdraw was reaffirmed in March 1971 by Prime Minister Edward Heath.[18]" ]

Its final designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf . E often shortened to Tiger . The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first armoured fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun ( not to be confused with the 8.8 cm Flak 36 ) . 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944 . After August 1944 , production of the Tiger I was phased out in favour of the Tiger II . While the Tiger I has been called an outstanding design for its time , it was over-engineered , using expensive materials and labour - intensive production methods . The Tiger was prone to certain types of track failures and breakdowns , and was limited in range by its high fuel consumption . It was expensive to maintain , but generally mechanically reliable . It was difficult to transport , and vulnerable to immobilisation when mud , ice , and snow froze between its overlapping and interleaved Schachtellaufwerk - pattern road wheels , often jamming them solid . This was a problem on the Eastern Front in the muddy rasputitsa season and during periods of extreme cold . The tank was given its nickname `` Tiger '' by Ferdinand Porsche , and the Roman numeral was added after the later Tiger II entered production . The initial designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H ( ' ' Panzer VI version H ' ' , abbreviated PzKpfw VI Ausf . H ) where ' H ' denoted Henschel as the designer / manufacturer . It was classified with ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 182 . The tank was later re-designated as PzKpfw VI Ausf . E in March 1943 , with ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 181 . Today , only about seven Tiger Is survive in museums and private collections worldwide . The Tiger 131 at the UK 's Tank Museum , which was captured during the North Africa Campaign , is currently the only one restored to running order .

Only one prototype hull was ever built and it was never fitted with a turret . The Durchbruchwagen I 's general shape and suspension resembled the Panzer III , while the turret resembled the early Panzer IV C turret with the short - barrelled 7.5 cm L / 24 cannon . Before Durchbruchwagen I was completed , a request was issued for a heavier 30 - tonne class vehicle with thicker armour ; this was the Durchbruchwagen II , which would have had 50 mm ( 2 in ) of frontal armour and mounted a Panzer IV turret with a short - barrelled 7.5 cm L / 24 gun . Overall weight would have been 36 tonnes . Only one hull was built and no turret was fitted . Further development of the Durchbruchwagen was dropped in 1938 in favour of the larger and better - armoured VK 30.01 ( H ) and VK 36.01 ( H ) designs . Both the Durchbruchwagen I and II prototype hulls were used as test vehicles until 1941 . Another attempt ( edit ) The VK 30.01 ( H ) medium tank and the VK 36.01 ( H ) heavy tank designs pioneered the use of the complex Schachtellaufwerk track suspension system of torsion bar - sprung , overlapped and interleaved main road wheels for tank use . This concept was already common on German half - tracks such as the Sd. Kfz. 7 . The VK 30.01 ( H ) was intended to mount a low - velocity 7.5 cm L / 24 infantry support gun , a 7.5 cm L / 40 dual purpose anti-tank gun , or a 10.5 cm L / 28 field gun in a Krupp turret . Overall weight was to be 33 tonnes . The armour was designed to be 50 mm on frontal surfaces and 30 mm on the side surfaces . Four prototype hulls were completed for testing . Two of these were later modified to build the `` Sturer Emil '' ( 12.8 cm Selbstfahrlafette L / 61 ) self - propelled anti-tank gun . The VK 36.01 ( H ) was intended to weigh 40 tonnes , with 100 mm ( 4 in ) of armour on front surfaces , 80 mm on turret sides and 60 mm on the hull sides . The VK 36.01 ( H ) was intended to carry a 7.5 cm L / 24 , or a 7.5 cm L / 43 , or a 7.5 cm L / 70 , or a 12.8 cm L / 28 cannon in a Krupp turret that looked similar to an enlarged Panzer IV Ausf. C turret . The hull for one prototype was built , followed later by five more . The six turrets built were never fitted and were used as part of the Atlantic Wall . The VK 36.01 ( H ) project was discontinued in early 1942 in favour of the VK 45.01 project . Further improvements ( edit ) Combat experience against the French Somua S35 cavalry tank and Char B1 heavy tank , and the British Matilda II infantry tanks during the Battle of France in June 1940 showed that the German Army needed better armed and armoured tanks . On 26 May 1941 , Henschel and Ferdinand Porsche were asked to submit designs for a 45 - tonne heavy tank , to be ready by June 1942 . Porsche worked on an updated version of their VK 30.01 ( P ) Leopard tank prototype while Henschel worked on an improved VK 36.01 ( H ) tank . Henschel built two prototypes : a VK 45.01 ( H ) H1 with an 8.8 cm L / 56 cannon , and a VK 45.01 ( H ) H2 with a 7.5 cm L / 70 cannon . Final designs ( edit ) On 22 June 1941 , Germany launched Operation Barbarossa , the invasion of the Soviet Union . The Germans were shocked to encounter Soviet T - 34 medium and KV - 1 heavy tanks , and , according to Henschel designer Erwin Aders : `` There was great consternation when it was discovered that the Soviet tanks were superior to anything available to the Heer . '' . An immediate weight increase to 45 tonnes and an increase in gun calibre to 8.8 cm was ordered . The due date for the new prototypes was set for 20 April 1942 , Adolf Hitler 's 53rd birthday . Unlike the Panther tank , the designs did not incorporate sloped armour , an innovation taken from the T - 34 . Model reconstruction of VK 4501 ( P ) Porsche prototype Porsche and Henschel submitted prototype designs , each making use of the Krupp - designed turret . They were demonstrated at Rastenburg in front of Hitler . The Henschel design was accepted , mainly because the Porsche VK 4501 ( P ) prototype design used a troubled gasoline - electric hybrid power unit which needed large quantities of copper for manufacture of its electrical drivetrain components , a strategic war material of which Germany had limited supplies with acceptable electrical properties for such uses . Production of the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf . H began in August 1942 . Expecting an order for his tank , Porsche built 100 chassis . After the contract was awarded to Henschel , they were used for a new turretless , casemate - style tank destroyer ; 91 hulls were converted into the Panzerjäger Tiger ( P ) in early 1943 . The Tiger was still at the prototype stage when it was first hurried into service , and therefore changes both large and small were made throughout the production run . A redesigned turret with a lower cupola was the most significant change . To cut costs , the submersion capability and an external air - filtration system were dropped . Design ( edit ) The Tiger differed from earlier German tanks principally in its design philosophy . Its predecessors balanced mobility , armour and firepower , and were sometimes outgunned by their opponents . While heavy , this tank was not slower than the best of its opponents . However , at over 50 tonnes dead weight , the suspension , gearboxes , and other such items had clearly reached their design limits and breakdowns were frequent if regular maintenance was not undertaken . Although the general design and layout were broadly similar to the previous medium tank , the Panzer IV , the Tiger weighed more than twice as much . This was due to its substantially thicker armour , the larger main gun , greater volume of fuel and ammunition storage , larger engine , and a more solidly built transmission and suspension . Armour ( edit ) The Tiger I 's armour was up to 120 mm on the mantlet . The Tiger I had frontal hull armour 100 mm ( 3.9 in ) thick , frontal turret armour of 100 mm ( 3.9 in ) and a 120 mm ( 4.7 in ) thick gun mantlet . The Tiger had 60 mm ( 2.4 in ) thick hull side plates and 80 mm armour on the side superstructure / sponsons , while turret sides and rear were 80 mm . The top and bottom armour was 25 mm ( 1 in ) thick ; from March 1944 , the turret roof was thickened to 40 mm ( 1.6 in ) . Armour plates were mostly flat , with interlocking construction . The armour joints were of high quality , being stepped and welded rather than riveted and were made of maraging steel . Gun ( edit ) Turmzielfernrohr TZF 9c gun sight Main article : 8.8 cm KwK 36 The 56 - calibre long 8.8 cm KwK 36 was chosen for the Tiger . A combination of a flat trajectory from the high muzzle velocity and precision from Leitz Turmzielfernrohr TZF 9b sight ( later replaced by the monocular TZF 9c ) made it very accurate . In British wartime firing trials , five successive hits were scored on a 410 by 460 mm ( 16 by 18 in ) target at a range of 1,100 metres ( 3,600 ft ) . Compared with the other contemporary German tank guns , the 8.8 cm KwK 36 had superior penetration to the 7.5 cm KwK 40 on the Sturmgeschütz III and Panzer IV but inferior to the 7.5 cm KwK 42 on the Panther tank under ranges of 2,500 metres . At greater ranges , the 8.8 cm KwK 36 was superior in penetration and accuracy . The ammunition for the Tiger had electrically fired primers . Four types of ammunition were available but not all were fully available ; the PzGr 40 shell used tungsten , which was in short supply as the war progressed .

L / 4.5 ( incendiary shrapnel ) Engine and drive ( edit ) Crew working on the engine through the hatch on the rear hull roof The rear of the tank held an engine compartment flanked by two separate rear compartments each containing a fuel tank and radiator . The Germans had not developed an adequate diesel engine , so a petrol ( gasoline ) powerplant had to be used instead . The original engine utilised was a 21.35 - litre ( 1303 cu.in . ) 12 - cylinder Maybach HL 210 P45 developing 485 kW ( 650 hp ) at 3,000 rpm . Although a good engine , it was underpowered for the vehicle . From the 251st Tiger onwards , it was replaced by the upgraded HL 230 P45 , a 23.095 litre ( 1409 cu.in . ) engine developing 521 kW ( 700 hp ) at 3,000 rpm . The main difference between these engines was that the original Maybach HL 210 used an aluminium engine block while the Maybach HL 230 used a cast - iron engine block . The cast - iron block allowed for larger cylinders ( and thus , greater displacement ) which increased the power output to 521 kW ( 700 hp ) . The engine was in V - form , with two cylinder banks set at 60 degrees . An inertia starter was mounted on its right side , driven via chain gears through a port in the rear wall . The engine could be lifted out through a hatch on the rear hull roof . In comparison to other V12 and various vee - form gasoline engines used for tanks , the eventual HL 230 engine was nearly four litres smaller in displacement than the Allied British Rolls - Royce Meteor V12 AFV powerplant , itself adapted from the RR Merlin but de-rated to 448 kW ( 600 hp ) power output ; and the American Ford - designed precursor V12 to its Ford GAA V - 8 AFV engine of 18 litre displacement , which in its original V12 form would have had the same 27 litre displacement as the Meteor . The engine drove the front sprockets through a drivetrain connecting to a transmission in the front portion of the lower hull ; the front sprockets had to be mounted relatively low as a result . The Krupp - designed 11 - tonne turret had a hydraulic motor whose pump was powered by mechanical drive from the engine . A full rotation took about a minute . Another new feature was the Maybach - Olvar hydraulically controlled semi-automatic pre-selector gearbox . The extreme weight of the tank also required a new steering system . Germany 's Argus Motoren , where Hermann Klaue had invented a ring brake in 1940 , supplied them for the Arado Ar 96 and also supplied the 55 cm disc . Klaue acknowledged in the patent application that he had merely improved on existing technology , that can be traced back to British designs dating to 1904 . It is unclear whether Klaue 's patent ring brake was utilised in the Tiger brake design . The clutch - and - brake system , typical for lighter vehicles , was retained only for emergencies . Normally , steering depended on a double differential , Henschel 's development of the British Merritt - Brown system first encountered in the Churchill tank . The vehicle had an eight - speed gearbox , and the steering offered two fixed radii of turns on each gear , thus the Tiger had sixteen different radii of turn . In first gear , at a speed of a few km / h , the minimal turning radius was 3.44 m ( 11 ft 3 in ) . In neutral gear , the tracks could be turned in opposite directions , so the Tiger I pivoted in place . There was a steering wheel instead of either a tiller -- or , as most tanks had at that time , twin braking levers -- making the Tiger I 's steering system easy to use , and ahead of its time . Suspension ( edit ) Clear view of the Tiger I 's Schachtellaufwerk overlapping and interleaved road wheels during production The suspension used sixteen torsion bars , with eight suspension arms per side . To save space , the swing arms were leading on one side and trailing on the other . There were three road wheels ( one of them double , closest to the track 's centre ) on each arm , in a so - called Schachtellaufwerk overlapping and interleaved arrangement , similar to that pioneered on German half - tracked military vehicles of the pre-World War II era , with the Tiger I being the first all - tracked German AFV built in quantity to use such a road wheel arrangement . The wheels had a diameter of 800 mm ( 31 in ) in the Schachtellaufwerk arrangement for the Tiger I 's suspension , providing a high uniform distribution of the load onto the track , at the cost of increased maintenance . Removing an inner wheel that had lost its solid rubber tire ( a common occurrence ) required the removal of up to nine other wheels first . During the rainy period that brought on the autumn rasputitsa mud season and onwards into the winter conditions on the Eastern front , the roadwheels of a Schachtellaufwerk - equipped vehicle could also become packed with mud or snow that could then freeze . Presumably , German engineers , based on the experience of the half tracks , felt that the improvement in off - road performance , track and wheel life , mobility with wheels missing or damaged , plus additional protection from enemy fire was worth the maintenance difficulties of a complex system vulnerable to mud and ice . This approach was carried on , in various forms , to the Panther and the non-interleaved wheel design for the Tiger II . Eventually , a new 80 cm diameter ' steel ' wheel design , closely resembling those on the Tiger II , with an internally sprung steel - rim tire was substituted , and which like the Tiger II , were only overlapped and not interleaved . Tiger at the Henschel plant is loaded onto a special rail car . The outer road wheels have been removed and narrow tracks put in place to decrease vehicle width , allowing it to fit within the loading gauge of the German rail network . To support the considerable weight of the Tiger , the tracks were 725 mm ( 2 ft 4.5 in ) wide . To meet rail - freight size restrictions , the outermost roadwheel on each axle ( 16 total ) could be unbolted from a flange and narrower 520 mm ( 20 in ) wide ' transport ' tracks ( Verladeketten ) installed . The track replacement and wheel removal took 30 minutes for each side of the tank . However , in service , Tigers were frequently transported by rail with their combat tracks fitted , as long as the train crew knew there were no narrow tunnels or other obstructions on the route that would prevent an oversized load from passing , despite this practice being strictly forbidden .

( August 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Tiger tank was too heavy for small bridges , so it was designed to ford bodies of water up to four metres ( 13 feet ) deep . This required unusual mechanisms for ventilation and cooling when underwater . At least 30 minutes of set - up time was required , with the turret and gun being locked in the forward position , and a large snorkel tube raised at the rear . An inflatable doughnut - shaped ring sealed the turret ring . The two rear compartments ( each containing a fuel tank , radiator and fans ) were floodable . Only the first 495 units were fitted with this deep fording system ; all later models were capable of fording water only two metres deep . Crew compartment ( edit ) The internal layout was typical of German tanks . Forward was an open crew compartment , with the driver and radio - operator seated at the front on either side of the gearbox . Behind them the turret floor was surrounded by panels forming a continuous level surface . This helped the loader to retrieve the ammunition , which was mostly stowed above the tracks . Three men were seated in the turret ; the loader to the right of the gun facing to the rear , the gunner to the left of the gun , and the commander behind him . There was also a folding seat on the right for the loader . The turret had a full circular floor and 157 cm headroom . Cost ( edit ) The main problem with the Tiger was that its production required considerable resources in terms of manpower and material , which led to it being expensive : the Tiger I cost over twice as much as a Panzer IV and four times as much as a StuG III assault gun . Partly because of their high cost , only 1,347 Tiger I and 492 Tiger II tanks were produced . The closest counterpart to the Tiger from the United States was the M26 Pershing ( around 200 deployed to the European Theater of Operations ( ETO ) during the war ) and the IS - 2 from the USSR ( about 3,800 built during the conflict ) . Although from a technical point of view it was superior to its contemporaries , the low number produced , shortages in qualified crew and the considerable fuel requirement in a context of ever shrinking resources prevented the Tiger I from having a real impact on the war . Production History ( edit ) Installing the turret Production of the Tiger I began in August 1942 , initially at a rate of 25 per month and peaking in April 1944 at 104 per month . 1,355 had been built by August 1944 , when production ceased . Deployed Tiger I 's peaked at 671 on 1 July 1944 . It took about twice as long to build a Tiger I as another German tank of the period . When the improved Tiger II began production in January 1944 , the Tiger I was soon phased out . In 1943 , Japan bought several specimens of German tank designs for study . A single Tiger I was apparently purchased , along with a Panther and two Panzer IIIs , but only the Panzer IIIs were actually delivered . The undelivered Tiger was loaned to the German Wehrmacht by the Japanese government . Many modifications were introduced during the production run to improve automotive performance , firepower and protection . Simplification of the design was implemented , along with cuts due to raw material shortages . In 1942 alone , at least six revisions were made , starting with the removal of the Vorpanzer ( frontal armour shield ) from the pre-production models in April . In May , mudguards bolted onto the side of the pre-production run were added , while removable mudguards saw full incorporation in September . Smoke discharge canisters , three on each side of the turret , were added in August 1942 . In later years , similar changes and updates were added , such as the addition of Zimmerit ( a non-magnetic anti-mine coating ) , in late 1943 . Due to slow production rates at the factories , incorporation of the new modifications could take several months . The humorous and somewhat racy crew manual , the Tigerfibel , was the first of its kind for the German Army and its success resulted in more unorthodox manuals that attempted to emulate its style . Variants ( 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 . ( May 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Among other variants of the Tiger , a citadel , heavily armoured self - propelled rocket projector , today commonly known as the Sturmtiger , was built . A tank recovery version of the Porsche Tiger I , and one Porsche Tiger I , was issued to the 654th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion , which was equipped with the Ferdinand / Elefant . In Italy , a demolition carrier version of the Tiger I without a main gun was built by maintenance crews in an effort to find a way to clear minefields . It is often misidentified as a BergeTiger recovery vehicle . As many as three may have been built . It carried a demolition charge on a small crane on the turret in place of the main gun . It was to move up to a minefield and drop the charge , back away , and then set the charge off to clear the minefield . There is no verification of any being used in combat . Another variant was the Fahrschulpanzer VI Tiger tanks ( driving school Tiger tanks ) . These tanks were Tigers with modified engines to run on either compressed Towngas gas ( Stadtgas System ) or wood gas ( Holzgas System ) . This was due to shortages in fuel supply . They used a mixture of turreted and turretless hulls . They were used to train Tiger tank crews . They were not used in combat . Designations ( edit ) Tigers under construction .

E , which was the official designation until the end of the war . For common use it was frequently shortened to Tiger . Combat History ( edit ) Gun and armour performance ( edit ) German soldiers inspect a non-penetrating hit to the Tiger 's armour . A report prepared by the Waffenamt - Prüfwesen 1 gave the calculated probability of perforation at range , on which various adversaries would be defeated reliably at a side angle of 30 degrees to the incoming round . The Wa Pruef report estimated that the Tiger 's 88 mm gun would be capable of penetrating the differential case of an American M4 Sherman from 2,100 m ( 1.3 mi ) and the turret front from 1,800 m ( 1.1 mi ) , but the Tiger 's 88 mm gun would not penetrate the upper glacis plate at any range . The M4 Sherman 's 75 mm gun would not penetrate the Tiger frontally at any range , and needed to be within 100 m to achieve a side penetration against the 80 mm upper hull superstructure . The Sherman 's upgraded 76 mm gun would have the possibility to penetrate the Tiger 's driver 's front plate from 600 m , the nose from 400 m and the turret front from 700 m . The M3 90 mm cannon used as a towed anti-aircraft and anti-tank gun , and later mounted in the M36 tank destroyer and finally the late - war M26 Pershing , could penetrate the Tiger 's front plate at a range of 1,000 m using standard ammunition , and from beyond 2,000 m when using HVAP . Soviet ground trial testing conducted in May 1943 determined that the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun could pierce the T - 34 - 76 frontal beam nose of 140 mm thickness from 1500 m , and the front hull from 1500 m . A hit to the driver 's hatch would force it to collapse inward and break apart . According to the WaPrüf , the Soviet T - 34 - 85 's upper glacis and turret front armour would be defeated between 100 and 1,400 m ( 0.062 and 0.870 mi ) , while the T - 34 's 85 mm gun would penetrate the front of a Tiger between 200 and 500 m ( 0.12 and 0.31 mi ) . The 120 mm hull armour of the Soviet IS - 2 model 1943 would be defeated between 100 and 300 m ( 0.062 and 0.186 mi ) at the driver 's front plate and nose . The IS - 2 's 122 mm gun could penetrate the Tiger 's front armour from between 500 and 1,500 m ( 0.31 and 0.93 mi ) . However , according to Steven Zaloga , the IS - 2 and Tiger I could each knock the other out in normal combat distances below 1,000 m . At longer ranges , the performance of each respective tank against each other was dependent on the crew and the combat situation . The British Churchill IV would become vulnerable to the Tiger at between 1,100 and 1,700 m ( 0.68 and 1.06 mi ) , its strongest point being the nose and its weakest the turret . According to an STT document dated April 1944 , it was estimated that the British 17 - pounder , as used on the Sherman Firefly , firing its normal APCBC ammunition , would penetrate the turret front and driver 's visor plate of the Tiger out to 1,900 yards ( 1,700 m ) . When engaging targets , Tiger crews were encouraged to angle the hull position 45 degrees to the Mahlzeit Stellung of 10 1⁄2 or 1 1⁄2 o'clock . This would maximize the effective front hull armour to 180mm and side hull to 140mm , making the Tiger impervious to any Allied gun up to 152 mm . Unlike the lighter Panzer IV and Panther tanks , the Tiger 's thick side armour gave a degree of confidence of immunity from flank attacks . The tank was also immune to Soviet anti-tank rifle fire to the sides and rear . Its large calibre 8.8 cm provided superior fragmentation and high explosive content over the 7.5 cm KwK 42 gun . Therefore , comparing the Tiger with the Panther , for supporting the infantry and destroying fortifications , the Tiger offered superior firepower . It was also key to dealing with towed anti-tank guns ; according to German tank commander Otto Carius : The destruction of an antitank gun was often accepted as nothing special by lay people and soldiers from other branches . Only the destruction of other tanks counted as a success . On the other hand , antitank guns counted twice as much to the experienced tanker . They were much more dangerous to us . The antitank cannon waited in ambush , well camouflaged , and magnificently set up in the terrain . Because of that , it was very difficult to identify . It was also very difficult to hit because of its low height . Usually , we did n't make out the antitank guns until they had fired the first shot . We were often hit right away , if the antitank crew was on top of things , because we had run into a wall of antitank guns . It was then advisable to keep as cool as possible and take care of the enemy , before the second aimed shot was fired . -- Otto Carius ( translated by Robert J Edwards ) , Tigers in the Mud First actions ( edit ) A Tiger I deployed to supplement the Afrika Korps operating in Tunisia , January 1943 Eager to make use of the powerful new weapon , Hitler ordered the vehicle be pressed into service months earlier than had planned . A platoon of four Tigers went into action on 23 September 1942 near Leningrad . Operating in swampy , forested terrain , their movement was largely confined to roads and tracks , making defence against them far easier . Many of these early models were plagued by problems with the transmission , which had difficulty handling the great weight of the vehicle if pushed too hard . It took time for drivers to learn how to avoid overtaxing the engine and transmission , and many broke down . The most significant event from this engagement was that one of the Tigers became stuck in swampy ground and had to be abandoned . Captured largely intact , it enabled the Soviets to study the design and prepare countermeasures . The 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion was deployed to the Don Front in the autumn of 1942 , but arrived too late to participate in Operation Winter Storm , the attempt to relieve Stalingrad . It was subsequently engaged in heavy defensive fighting in the Rostov - on - Don and adjacent sectors in January and February 1943 . In the North African Campaign , the Tiger I first saw action during the Tunisia Campaign on 1 December 1942 east of Tebourba when three Tigers attacked an olive grove 5 km west of Djedeida . The thick olive grove made visibility very limited and enemy tanks were engaged at close range . The Tigers were hit by a number of M3 Lee tanks firing at a range of 80 to 100 metres . Two of the Lees were knocked out in this action . The Tiger tanks proved that they had excellent protection from enemy fire ; this greatly increased the crew 's trust in the quality of the armour . The first loss to an Allied gun was on 20 January 1943 near Robaa , when a battery of the British 72nd Anti-Tank Regiment knocked out a Tiger with their 6 - pounder ( 57 mm ) anti-tank guns . Seven Tigers were immobilised by mines during the failed attack on Béja during Operation Ochsenkopf at the end of February . Mobility and reliability ( edit ) A Tiger undergoing engine repairs The tank 's weight significantly limited its use of bridges . For this reason , the Tiger was built with water tight hatches and a snorkel device that allowed it to ford water obstacles four metres deep . The tank 's weight also made driving through buildings risky , as the presence of a cellar could result in a sudden drop . Another weakness was the slow traverse of the hydraulically operated turret . Due to reliability problems with the Maybach HL 210 TRM P45 , which was delivered within the first production batch of 250 Tigers , performance for its maximum power output at high gear ratio could not be fulfilled . Though the Maybach engines had a maximum of 3,000 rpm , crews were told in the Tigerfibel not to exceed 2,600 rpm . The engine limitation was alleviated only by the adoption of the Maybach HL 230 . A British Army test report showed that the turret on the Tiger E tank turned 360 degrees , at 19o / second , with its power traverse system set at high ratio and with the engine speed at 2,000 revolutions per minute ( rpm ) . The turret could also be traversed manually , but this option was rarely used , except for very small adjustments . Early Tigers had a top speed of about 45 kilometres per hour ( 28 mph ) over optimal terrain . This was not recommended for normal operation , and was discouraged in training . An engine governor was subsequently installed , capping the engine at 2,600 rpm and the Tiger 's maximum speed to about 38 kilometres per hour ( 24 mph ) . Tiger crews report that typical march speed off - road was 10 kilometers per hour ( 6 mph ) . However , medium tanks of the time , such as the Sherman or T - 34 , had on average a top speed of about 45 kilometres per hour ( 28 mph ) . Thus , despite the Tiger being nearly twice as heavy , its speed was comparatively respectable . With the tank 's very wide tracks , a design feature borrowed from the Soviet T - 34 , the Tiger had a lower ground pressure than many smaller tanks , such as the M4 Sherman . Tiger I towed by two Sd. Kfz. 9 Tiger I tanks needed a high degree of support . It required two or sometimes three of the standard German Sd. Kfz. 9 Famo heavy recovery half - track tractors to tow it . Tiger crews often resorted to using another Tiger to tow the damaged vehicle , but this was not recommended as it often caused overheating and engine breakdown . The low - mounted sprocket limited the obstacle clearance height . The tracks also had a tendency to override the rear sprocket , resulting in immobilisation . If a track overrode and jammed , two Tigers were normally needed to tow the tank . The jammed track was also a big problem itself , since due to high tension , it was often impossible to split the track by removing the track pins . The track sometimes had to be blown apart with a small explosive charge . The average reliability of the Tiger tank in the second half of 1943 was similar to that of the Panther , 36 % , compared to the 48 % of the Panzer IV and the 65 % of the StuG III . From May 1944 to March 1945 , the reliability of the Tiger tank was as good as the Panzer IV . With an average of 70 % , the Tiger 's operational availability on the Western Front , was better than compared to 62 % of Panthers . On the Eastern Front , 65 % of Tigers were operationally available , compared to the 71 % of Panzer IVs and 65 % of Panthers .

A few favoured divisions , such as the Grossdeutschland , and the 1st SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler , 2nd SS Das Reich , and 3rd SS Totenkopf Panzergrenadier Divisions at Kursk , had a Tiger company in their tank regiments . The Grossdeutschland Division had its Tiger company increased to a battalion as the III Panzer Battalion of the Panzer Regiment Grossdeutschland . 3rd SS Totenkopf retained its Tiger I company through the entire war . 1st SS and 2nd SS had their Tiger companies taken away and incorporated into the 101st SS Tiger Battalion , which was part of 1st SS Panzer Corps . The Tiger was originally designed to be an offensive breakthrough weapon , but by the time it went into action , the military situation had changed dramatically , and its main use was on the defensive , as a mobile anti-tank and infantry gun support weapon . Tactically , this also meant moving the Tiger units constantly to parry breakthroughs , causing excessive mechanical wear . As a result , there are almost no instances where a Tiger battalion went into combat at anything close to full strength . Against the Soviet and Western Allied production numbers , even a 10 : 1 kill ratio was not sufficient . These numbers must be set against the opportunity cost of the expensive Tiger . Every Tiger cost as much to build as four Sturmgeschütz III assault guns . Allied response ( edit ) British response ( edit ) Tiger I that knocked out the first M26 Pershing in combat . It then backed into a pile of rubble and became stuck , leading to the crew abandoning it . The British had observed the gradual increase in German AFV armour and firepower since 1940 and had anticipated the need for more powerful anti-tank guns . Work on the 76.2 mm calibre Ordnance QF 17 pounder had begun in late 1940 and in 1942 100 early - production guns were rushed to North Africa to help counter the new Tiger threat . The gun carriage had not yet been developed , and the guns were mounted on the carriages of 25 - pounder gun / howitzers and were known by the code name `` Pheasant '' . Efforts were hastened to get cruiser tanks armed with 17 - pounder guns into operation . The A30 Challenger was already at the prototype stage in 1942 , but this tank was relatively unprotected , having a front hull thickness of 64 mm , and in the end was fielded in only limited numbers ( around 200 were ordered in 1943 ) , though crews liked it for its high speed . The Sherman Firefly , armed with the 17 - pounder , was a notable success even though it was only intended to be a stopgap design . Fireflies were successfully used against Tigers ; in one engagement , a single Firefly destroyed three Tigers in 12 minutes with five rounds . Over 2,000 Fireflies were built during the war . Five different 17 - pounder - armed British designs saw combat during the war : the A30 Challenger , the A34 Comet ( using the OQF 77mm HV variant ) , the Sherman Firefly , the 17pdr SP Achilles , and the 17pdr SP Archer self - propelled gun , while one more , the A41 Centurion , was about to enter service as the European war ended . In 1944 the British introduced an APDS round for the 17 - pounder , which increased penetration performance considerably . Soviet response ( edit ) Marshal Georgy Zhukov inspecting a Tiger captured by the Red Army in 1943 Initially , the Soviets responded to the Tiger I by restarting production of the 57 mm ZiS - 2 anti-tank gun ( production was stopped in 1941 in favour of cheaper and more versatile alternatives -- e.g. the ZiS - 3 -- as the gun 's performance was excessive for early German armour ) . The ZiS - 2 had better armour penetration than the 76 mm F - 34 tank gun used by most Red Army tanks , or the ZiS - 3 76 mm divisional cannon , but was still inadequate against Tigers . A small number of T - 34s were again fitted with a tank version of the ZiS - 2 , the ZiS - 4 , but it could not fire an adequate high - explosive round , making it an unsuitable tank gun . Firing trials of the new 85 mm D - 5T also had proved disappointing . Several captured German Tiger I tanks were shipped to Chelyabinsk , where they were subjected to 85 mm fire from various angles . The 85 mm gun could not reliably penetrate the Tiger I 's armour except at ranges within the lethal envelope of the Tiger I 's own 88 mm gun . It was still initially used on the SU - 85 self - propelled gun ( based on a T - 34 chassis ) from August 1943 . The production of KV heavy tanks armed with the 85 mm D - 5T in an IS - 85 turret was also started . There was a short production run of 148 KV - 85 tanks , which were sent to the front beginning in September 1943 with production ending by December 1943 . By early 1944 , the T - 34 / 85 appeared ; this up - gunned T - 34 matched the SU - 85 's firepower , but with the advantage of mounting the gun in a turret . It also matched the firepower of the heavier IS - 85 tank in a more cost effective package resulting in a repeat of the events which heralded the decline of KV - 1 production . The IS was subsequently rearmed with the 122 mm D - 25T , which with BR -- 471 AP rounds was capable of going through the Tiger 's armour from 1,200 m , and with the improved BR -- 471B APHEBC rounds at over 2,000 m . The redundant SU - 85 was replaced by the SU - 100 , mounting a 100 mm D - 10 tank gun , that could penetrate 149 mm of vertical armour plate at 1,000 m . In May 1943 , the Red Army deployed the SU - 152 , replaced in 1944 by the ISU - 152 . These self - propelled guns both mounted the large , 152 mm howitzer - gun . The SU - 152 was intended to be a close - support gun for use against German fortifications rather than armour ; however , it shared among the later fielded ISU - 152 , the nickname Zveroboy ( `` beast killer '' ) , for its rare ability to knock out German heavy tanks . The 152 mm armour - piercing shells weighed over 45 kilograms ( 99 lb ) and could penetrate a Tiger 's frontal armour from about 1,000 metres ( 1,100 yd ) . Its high - explosive rounds were powerful enough to cause significant damage to a tank , occasionally ripping the turret off outright . However , the size and weight of the ammunition meant both vehicles had a low rate of fire , and each could carry only 20 rounds . Us response ( edit ) Tiger 712 being captured by US forces in Tunis , 1943 The US Army hesitated to place 76 mm M1 guns in action even when they were already available , as combat through early 1944 indicated that the 75 mm M3 was more than adequate for handling the German tank threat . This conclusion was partly based on the correct estimate that Tigers would be encountered in relatively small numbers , and on the assumption that anti-tank gun - fire ( as in Tunisia and Sicily ) rather than tanks could knock them out .

Survivors ( edit ) Tiger 131 ( edit ) Main article : Tiger 131 Tiger 131 , Bovington Tank Museum , United Kingdom On 21 April 1943 , a Tiger I of the 504th German heavy tank battalion , with turret number 131 , was captured on a hill called Djebel Djaffa in Tunisia . A 6 - pounder solid shot from a Churchill tank of the British 48th Royal Tank Regiment hit the Tiger 's gun barrel and ricocheted into its turret ring , jamming its traverse and wounding the commander . The crew bailed out and the tank was captured. . After repairs , the tank was sent to England for a thorough inspection . The captured tank was officially handed over to the Bovington Tank Museum by the British Ministry of Supply on 25 September 1951 . In June 1990 , the tank was removed from display at the museum and work began on its restoration . This was carried out both by the museum and the Army Base Repair Organisation and involved an almost complete disassembly of the tank . The Maybach HL230 engine from the museum 's Tiger II was installed ( the Tiger 's original Maybach HL210 had been sectioned for display ) , along with a modern fire - suppressant system in the engine compartment . In December 2003 , Tiger 131 returned to the museum , restored and in running condition . This Tiger was used in the film Fury , the first time an original , fully mechanically operable Tiger I has appeared in a movie since World War II . Others ( edit ) Given the low number of just over 1,300 Tiger I 's produced during World War II , very few survived the war and the post-war scrap drives . Many large components have been salvaged over the years , but the discovery of a ( more or less ) complete vehicle has so far eluded enthusiasts and collectors . In addition to Tiger 131 , six other Tiger tanks survive as of April 2018 , at the following locations : Musée des Blindés in Saumur , France . Indoor exhibit in good condition . Mid 1944 version with overlapping roadwheels adopted from the Tiger II , fitted with narrow transport tracks . This Tiger was part of the 2nd company of the SS Heavy Panzer Battalion 102 , fought in the Cauville sector , and was abandoned by her crew after a mechanical breakdown . She was recommissioned as Colmar with the 2nd squadron of the 6th Cuirassier Regiment , fighting all the way back to Germany . Vimoutiers , Normandy , France . The `` Vimoutiers Tiger tank '' . Abandoned by its crew in August 1944 . Outdoor monument . In bad condition due to the effect of time and the elements . Kubinka Tank Museum , Moscow , Russia , in good condition . Displayed as an indoor exhibit . Military - historical Museum of Lenino - Snegiri , Russia . In very bad condition . As a former firing range target it is badly shot and cut up . Displayed as an outdoor exhibit . Tiger 712 ( 250031 ) of the 501st Heavy Panzer Battalion is part of the United States Army Armor & Cavalry Museum , Fort Benning , Georgia . In good condition . The left side of the hull and turret were cut - away in the late 1940s for interior training and display purposes . German Panzer Museum , Munster , has a Tiger I now on display . This tank was reconstructed by Mr. Hoebig in Germany , using parts found in the Trun scrapyard in Normandy and some parts found in Kurland ( Latvia ) .

By increasing the thickness of the armour and mounting it with a very heavy 122 mm gun , the Soviet IS II became a very difficult tank to deal with .

what production model was the tiger i tank of world war ii

One night , the siblings prepare puttanesca for Olaf 's theatre troupe only for him to demand roast beef upon arriving home .

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 .

Mr. Poe takes the children to a restaurant and prepares to complete the transfer , but allows the siblings to leave after Larry , a waiter secretly a member of their parents ' organization , triggers their allergy to peppermint . After returning to the house , the siblings decipher Josephine 's suicide note and discover she is still alive moments before a hurricane sends the house teetering over the cliff .

Believing that their parents are still alive , the three are shocked to instead find Orwell and her receptionist `` Shirley St. Ives , '' who is a poorly - disguised Olaf .

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 . They try to warn Esmé of Olaf 's scheme , but learn too late that she is in cahoots with him and that they are planning to smuggle the Quagmires out of the city . 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 . Elsewhere , an unknown person recovers the Sugar Bowl from the 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 . 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 10 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 .

On his first night , he met fellow student Alan Gratzer . They held an impromptu jam session in the basement of their Illinois Street Residence Hall dormitory and soon started a rock band . Gratzer had been a drummer since high school , and was playing in a local group on the weekends , while Doughty had learned some Beatles songs on his parents ' piano . Doughty began to follow Gratzer 's band , eventually sitting in on a song or two . The keyboard player was the leader , but several other band members were unhappy with the situation . On the last day of the university 's spring semester , guitarist Joe Matt called the band 's leader and told him that he , drummer Gratzer , and bassist Mike Blair had decided to leave the band to start a new one with Doughty . They made a list of songs to learn over the summer break , and Doughty landed a summer job to buy his first keyboard . On his Farfisa organ , he learned `` Light My Fire '' by The Doors . The members returned to school in the fall of 1967 , and had their first rehearsal before classes started . They named the band REO Speedwagon , from the REO Speed Wagon , a flatbed truck Doughty had studied in transportation history , and the initials are those of its founder Ransom E. Olds . Rather than pronouncing REO as a single word as the motor company did , they chose to spell out the name with the individual letters each pronounced ( `` R-E-O '' ) . An ad in the school newspaper produced their first job , a fraternity party that turned into a food fight . They continued to perform cover songs in campus bars , fraternity parties , and university events . The first lineup consisted of Doughty on keyboards , Gratzer on drums and vocals , Joe Matt on guitar and vocals , Mike Blair on bass and vocals . In early 1968 , Terry Luttrell became lead singer , and Bob Crownover joined as the guitar player , replacing Matt . When Mike Blair left the band in the summer of 1968 , Gregg Philbin replaced Blair , Marty Shepard played trumpet and Joe McCabe played sax until McCabe moved to Southern Illinois University . Crownover played guitar for the group until the summer of 1969 when Bill Fiorio replaced him . Fiorio then departed in late 1969 , eventually assuming the name Duke Tumatoe , and went on to form the All Star Frogs . Steve Scorfina ( who would go on to found progressive rock / album - oriented rock band Pavlov 's Dog ) came aboard for over a year , composing with the band and performing live , before being replaced by Gary Richrath in late 1970 . Richrath was a Peoria , Illinois - based guitarist and prolific songwriter who brought fresh original material to the band . With Richrath on board , the regional popularity of the band grew tremendously . The Midwestern United States was the original REO Speedwagon fan stronghold and is pivotal in this period of the band 's history . The band signed to Epic Records in 1971 . Paul Leka , an East Coast record producer , brought the band to his recording studio in Bridgeport , Connecticut where it recorded original material for its first album . The lineup on the first album consisted of Richrath , Gratzer , Doughty , Philbin , and Luttrell . Debut album ( edit ) With their equipment being hauled to dates in a friend 's station wagon , REO played bars and clubs all over the Midwest . The band 's debut album , R.E.O. Speedwagon , was released on Epic Records in 1971 . The most popular track on this record was `` 157 Riverside Avenue '' . The title refers to the Westport , Connecticut address , where the band stayed while recording in Leka 's studio in Bridgeport and remains an in - concert favorite . Although the rest of the band 's lineup remained stable , REO Speedwagon switched lead vocalists three times for their first three albums . Luttrell left the band in early 1972 , eventually becoming the vocalist for Starcastle . He was replaced by Kevin Cronin . Cronin recorded one album with the band , 1972 's R.E.O. / T.W.O. but left the band during the recording sessions for 1973 's Ridin ' the Storm Out because of internal conflicts . Ridin ' the Storm Out was completed with Michael Bryan Murphy on lead vocal , and featured Neal Doughty 's memorable `` wailing storm siren '' entrance on the title track . Murphy stayed on for two more albums , Lost in a Dream and This Time We Mean It , before Cronin returned to the fold in January 1976 and recorded R.E.O. , which was released that same year . Cronin 's return came after Greg X . Volz turned down the position for lead vocalist after becoming a born - again Christian . In 1977 REO convinced Epic Records that their strength was in their live performances . Epic agreed to let them produce their first live album , Live : You Get What You Play For , which was eventually certified platinum . That same year , the band moved to Los Angeles , California . In 1977 bassist Gregg Philbin left the band . Depending upon which band member is expressing an opinion , it was either because Philbin was disenchanted with the new corporate - structure REO where Cronin and Richrath got bigger slices of the pie instead of the equal credit they once shared as a `` garage band '' , or he was asked to leave over his lifestyle issues affecting the music quality . Philbin was replaced with another Champaign , Illinois musician , Centennial High School alumnus , Bruce Hall , to record You Can Tune a Piano but You Ca n't Tuna Fish . The album was released in 1978 and has received FM radio airplay over the years , thanks to hits like `` Roll with the Changes '' and `` Time for Me to Fly '' . The album was REO 's first to make the Top 40 , peaking at # 29 . The album went on to sell over 2 million copies in the US , ultimately achieving double platinum status . In 1979 the band took a turn back to hard rock with the release of Nine Lives . Mainstream success ( edit ) The stage was now set for the height of the band 's popularity . On November 21 , 1980 , REO Speedwagon released Hi Infidelity , which represented a change in sound , going from hard rock to more pop - oriented material . Hi Infidelity spawned four hit singles written by Richrath and Cronin , including the chart - topping `` Keep On Loving You '' ( Cronin ) , plus `` Take It on the Run '' ( # 5 ) ( Richrath ) , `` In Your Letter '' ( # 20 ) ( Richrath ) , and `` Do n't Let Him Go '' ( # 24 ) ( Cronin ) , and remained on the charts for 65 weeks , 32 of which were spent in the top ten , including 15 weeks atop the Billboard 200 . Hi Infidelity sold over 10 million copies and set the bar for rock bands across the country . The band 's follow - up album , Good Trouble , was released in 1982 . Although it was not as successful as its predecessor , the album performed moderately well commercially , featuring the hit singles `` Keep the Fire Burnin ' '' ( U.S. # 7 ) , `` Sweet Time '' ( U.S. # 26 ) and the Album Rock chart hit `` The Key . '' The band came storming back two years later with Wheels Are Turnin ' , an album that included the # 1 hit single `` Ca n't Fight This Feeling '' plus three more hits : `` I Do ' Wanna Know '' ( U.S. # 29 ) , `` One Lonely Night '' ( U.S. # 19 ) , and `` Live Every Moment '' ( U.S. # 34 ) . REO Speedwagon toured the US in 1985 , including a sold - out concert in Madison , Wisconsin in May . On July 13 , on the way to a show in Milwaukee , the band made a stop in Philadelphia to play at the US leg of Live Aid , which broke a record for number of viewers . They performed `` Ca n't Fight This Feeling '' and `` Roll With the Changes , '' which featured members of the Beach Boys , the band members ' families , and Paul Shaffer on stage for backing vocals . 1987 's Life as We Know It saw a decline in sales , but still managed to provide the band with the top - 20 hits `` That Ai n't Love '' ( U.S. # 16 ) and `` In My Dreams '' ( U.S. # 19 ) . The Hits ( 1988 ) is a compilation album from REO Speedwagon . It contains new tracks `` Here With Me '' and `` I Do n't Want to Lose You . '' `` Here with Me '' cracked the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top ten on the Adult Contemporary chart . They were the last songs recorded with Gary Richrath and Alan Gratzer Changes in the 1990s ( edit ) By the late 1980s , the band 's popularity was starting to decline . Alan Gratzer left in September 1988 after he decided to retire from music to open a restaurant . In early 1989 , Gary Richrath quit after tensions between him and Kevin Cronin boiled over . Cronin had been playing in The Strolling Dudes , a jazz ensemble that included jazz trumpet player Rick Braun ( who had co-written the abovementioned `` Here With Me '' with Cronin ) , Miles Joseph on lead guitar and Graham Lear on drums . Lear had already been invited to join REO in September 1988 as Gratzer 's successor and Joseph was brought in as a temporary stand - in for Richrath . Back up singers Carla Day and Melanie Jackson were also added . This lineup did only one show , on January 7 , 1989 in Viña del Mar , Chile , where it won the award for best group at the city 's annual International Song Festival . After that , Miles Joseph and the back up singers were dropped in favor of former Ted Nugent guitarist Dave Amato ( who was brought aboard in May 1989 ) and keyboardist / songwriter / producer Jesse Harms . The 1990 release The Earth , a Small Man , His Dog and a Chicken , with Bryan Hitt ( formerly of Wang Chung ) on drums , was a commercial disappointment . The album produced only one , and - to date - the band 's last Billboard Hot 100 single , `` Love Is a Rock , '' which peaked at # 65 . Harms , disenchanted by the album 's failure , left the group in early 1991 . Shortly after his departure , Richrath assembled former members of the Midwestern band Vancouver to form a namesake band , Richrath . After touring for several years , the Richrath band released Only the Strong Survive in 1992 on the GNP Crescendo label . Richrath ( the band ) continued to perform for several years before disbanding in the late 1990s . In September 1998 , Gary Richrath briefly joined REO onstage at the County Fair in Los Angeles to play on band 's encore song , `` 157 Riverside Avenue '' . He then joined REO once again in Los Angeles in May 2000 for the same encore but no serious plans for a reunion ever materialized . Having lost their recording contract with Epic , REO Speedwagon ended up releasing Building the Bridge ( 1996 ) on the Priority / Rhythm Safari label . When that label went bankrupt , the album was released on Castle Records , which also experienced financial troubles . REO Speedwagon ultimately self - financed this effort , which failed to chart . The title track did make R&R 's AC Top 30 chart . Revival of the hits ( edit ) The commercial failure of the band 's newer material with its revised lineup demanded a change in marketing strategy . As a consequence , Epic began re-releasing recordings from older albums with updated artwork and design . From 1995 to the present , the label released over a dozen compilation albums featuring greatest hits , including 1999 's The Ballads . In 2000 , REO teamed up with Styx for an appearance at Riverport Amphitheater in St. Louis , which was released as a live concert video Arch Allies : Live at Riverport . The REO portion of the show was released again under three separate titles : Live - Plus ( 2001 ) , Live Plus 3 ( 2001 ) and Extended Versions ( 2001 ) ( which was certified gold by the RIAA on April 26 , 2006 ) . REO once again teamed with Styx in 2003 for the Classic Rock 's Main Event tour which also included another band from their common rock era , Journey . 2000 -- present ( edit ) The band released a self - financed album entitled Find Your Own Way Home in April 2007 . Though it did not chart as an album , it produced two singles which appeared on Billboard 's Adult Contemporary radio chart . REO Speedwagon continues to tour regularly , performing mostly their classic hits . They teamed up with Styx to record a new single entitled `` Ca n't Stop Rockin ' '' , released in March 2009 , as well as for a full tour that included special guest . 38 Special . In November 2009 , REO Speedwagon released a Christmas album , Not So Silent Night ... Christmas with REO Speedwagon . In Summer 2010 , the band -- then touring with Pat Benatar -- announced that it would release a 30th anniversary deluxe edition reissue of Hi Infidelity . On December 2 , 2009 , REO Speedwagon released an online video game , Find Your Own Way Home , produced by digital design agency Curious Sense . The game was the first `` downloadable casual game '' produced with a rock band and was cited by numerous publications including The New York Times as an innovative marketing product for a music act . Main Street in Champaign , named REO Speedwagon Way in honor of the band REO Speedwagon headlined on the M&I Classic Rock Stage at the Milwaukee Summerfest on June 30 , 2011 . On March 11 , 2012 , Kevin Cronin appeared on the Canadian reality TV series Star Académie . He sang a sampling of REO 's hits with the show 's singing finalists . On November 22 , 2013 , they announced a benefit concert with Styx titled `` Rock to the Rescue '' to raise money for the affected families of the tornadoes in central Illinois . The concert was held on December 4 , 2013 in Bloomington , Illinois . Richard Marx joined REO on stage for a joint performance of two of his hit songs . Gary Richrath reunited with REO one final time for a performance of `` Ridin ' the Storm Out '' to end REO 's set at the sold - out concert . Richrath stayed on stage to help with the encore of `` With a Little Help From My Friends '' along with REO , Styx , Richard Marx , and others . Richrath was originally from the town of East Peoria which was damaged during the storm . Families impacted by the storm and first responders sat near the stage for this special REO concert . In early 2014 , it was announced that REO Speedwagon and Chicago would be teaming up for 15 dates throughout 2014 . Gary Richrath died on September 13 , 2015 , due to complications from surgery . In 2016 , the band went on tour with Def Leppard and Tesla . The band performed with Pitbull the song Messin ' Around live on the ABC TV show Greatest Hits in 2016 , that version of the song was also released as a single on iTunes . The band toured the UK arena circuit with Status Quo in December 2016 . The band toured the US with Styx and Don Felder on the `` United We Rock '' tour , debuting June 20 at the Sunlight Supply Amphitheater . In 2017 the Hi Infidelity album received the Diamond Award for official U.S. sales of over ten million copies .

where did the band reo speedwagon get its name
[ "They made a list of songs to learn over the summer break, and Doughty landed a summer job to buy his first keyboard. On his Farfisa organ, he learned \"Light My Fire\" by The Doors. The members returned to school in the fall of 1967, and had their first rehearsal before classes started. They named the band REO Speedwagon, from the REO Speed Wagon, a flatbed truck Doughty had studied in transportation history, and the initials are those of its founder Ransom E. Olds. Rather than pronouncing REO as a single word as the motor company did, they chose to spell out the name with the individual letters each pronounced (\"R-E-O\"). An ad in the school newspaper produced their first job, a fraternity party that turned into a food fight. They continued to perform cover songs in campus bars, fraternity parties, and university events. The first lineup consisted of Doughty on keyboards, Gratzer on drums and vocals, Joe Matt on guitar and vocals, Mike Blair on bass and vocals.\n" ]

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Production 3 Reception 4 References 5 External links Plot ( edit ) Ryan Howard ( B.J. Novak ) returns to the Scranton , Pennsylvania branch of Dunder Mifflin for the first time since his promotion to the corporate headquarters . Although he sports a much more urbane look and attitude , he garners little respect from his former peers . Ryan introduces `` Dunder Mifflin Infinity , '' his initiative to revitalize the company with new technology . Michael Scott ( Steve Carell ) is initially excited about the prospect of getting a BlackBerry , but is warned by Creed Bratton ( Creed Bratton ) that the program is a ploy to get rid of older workers . Creed dyes his hair black with printer ink in an attempt to convince everyone that he is much younger . Michael holds a conference room meeting on the subject of ageism . To show that personal interaction is more effective than new technology , Michael and Dwight Schrute ( Rainn Wilson ) decide to go out and win back the clients they lost in the past year with gift baskets . Each manager they encounter refuses to consider returning to Dunder Mifflin unless the company improves its technology , such as Dunder Mifflin 's website . While driving back to the office , Michael misinterprets his rental car 's GPS map system 's directions and drives into Lake Scranton . He takes this as further proof that new technology is useless because it tried to kill him . After the lake incident , he and Dwight walk back to one of the former clients to awkwardly get back their gift basket , causing a scene . Meanwhile , Pam Beesly ( Jenna Fischer ) and Jim Halpert ( John Krasinski ) are exposed as a couple when Toby Flenderson ( Paul Lieberstein ) circulates a memo about public displays of affection . Jim secretly informs Pam that Dwight and Angela Martin ( Angela Kinsey ) are dating , only to discover that she already knew . Meanwhile , Dwight attempts to make amends for the death of Angela 's cat Sprinkles by giving her a stray cat he found in his barn , named Garbage . Angela rejects the gift . Kelly Kapoor ( Mindy Kaling ) tries to restart her relationship with Ryan , an effort he ignores until she tells him she is pregnant . After going out to dinner , Ryan learns that Kelly 's pregnancy claim was a lie that Kelly used in attempt to get them back together . Back at the office , Ryan asks Pam to create a logo for Dunder Mifflin Infinity . Pam is excited about the opportunity to use her art background , but Ryan uses the logo as an excuse to ask her out , which he does in front of Jim . Pam responds that she is dating Jim , which leaves the new boss thoroughly embarrassed . Production ( edit ) The episode was the first episode of the series directed by Craig Zisk . Zisk had previously directed episodes of Nip / Tuck , Weeds , Scrubs , Smallville , and The Single Guy . `` Dunder Mifflin Infinity '' was written by Michael Schur , who plays Dwight 's Amish cousin Mose . For Ryan 's new appearance this season , the writers originally had B.J. Novak grow a goatee . Show runner and executive producer Greg Daniels decided to have Novak lose the goatee , because according to Novak `` a goatee would make Ryan a flat - out chump . And we wanted it to be more subtle . '' In addition to his five o'clock shadow , Ryan was also seen wearing black clothes . Novak explained that `` We wanted him to dress as obnoxious as possible . As much black as possible . '' `` Dunder Mifflin Infinity '' went along with a website that had been created with the same name . The website was part of a game in which fans of The Office would sign up , and become `` employees '' of different `` branches '' . Members of the site would perform tasks such as design a logo for the company or make Creed look young again . Reception ( edit ) `` Dunder Mifflin Infinity '' received 4.5 / 11 in the ages 18 -- 49 demographic in the Nielsen ratings . This means that 4.5 percent of all households with an 18 - to 49 - year - old living in it watched the episode , and eleven percent had their televisions tuned to the channel at any point . The episode was watched by 8.49 million viewers . `` Dunder Mifflin Infinity '' received mixed reviews from critics , with Michael driving his car into the lake being particularly panned by critics and viewers . Entertainment Weekly 's Christine Fenno commented that she thought `` Michael seemed a bit more focused than usual , even competent at moments . And then he drove into a lake . '' Jack Rodgers , from TV Guide said that his `` favorite thing about this episode was the sly parallel that connects the three love stories '' and `` Michael 's obsession with sticking to his old methods rather than learning to change and embrace technology '' . Will Leitch of New York criticized the episode , saying that Michael driving into the lake felt more like the actions of a `` cartoon character '' , than `` based in reality '' . Leitch did say that if `` we can get Michael out of that lake and back in a conference room with Ryan , we 'll have something .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot synopsis 1.1 Part I 1.2 Part II 2 Reception 2.1 Critical reception 2.2 Ratings 2.3 Awards and nominations 3 References Plot synopsis ( edit ) Part I ( edit ) Early on the morning of December 14 , 1997 , Trudy Monk is discussing with her husband Adrian how hard it is to keep secrets from him , before asking him about the latest police investigation he is assisting on , surrounding the suspicious disappearance of a midwife named Wendy Stroud . As Monk prepares to head to the Palgrove Birthing Center , the birthing clinic that Stroud worked at , to question the clinic 's director , Dr. Malcolm Nash ( Ed Begley , Jr . ) , he notices a small present under their Christmas tree meant for him , but is instructed by Trudy not to open it until Christmas Day . Despite insisting she is fine , Monk notes she appears nervous about something . Later that day , Trudy heads for a meeting with someone at multi-story parking garage , but soon panics when a six fingered man , who had been watching her , emerges from the shadows and follows her . Seeking to escape , Trudy returns to her car , unaware that explosives have been planted in it , which detonate the moment she turns the key in the ignition . At the clinic , Monk and Captain Stottlemeyer learn from Dr. Nash that Strode was the first midwife he hired and had never been late for work . Before they can learn anymore , Stottlemeyer receives a phone call and informs Monk that his wife has been killed . Then Christopher Menendez came into the office . In the present day , 2009 , Monk awakes on his usual side of the bed to find himself seeing a vision of Trudy before him , telling him it is time for him to say goodbye to her and to sleep in the middle of the bed , and that `` it wo n't be much longer '' . When Monk discusses this later that day with his assistant Natalie Teeger , he finds that their latest case is taking them back to the same birthing clinic he had been to 12 years ago , when he first heard the news of Trudy 's death . Although Stottlemeyer offers Monk the chance to sit the case out , he insists he is okay . The pair learn that from the police 's initial investigation that Dr. Nash had been shot dead while he had been digitizing patient records , and that the killer 's gun had a silencer on it , as no - one heard the crime being committed . Monk concludes that the scene the police found had been set up to make it appear that the killer was a drug addict ; in reality , the murder was done by a professional hitman , and the police soon find a partial fingerprint that identifies the suspect as Joey Kazarinski ( John Edward Lee ) . Seeking a warrant for his arrest from Judge Ethan Rickover ( Craig T. Nelson ) , the group overhear Rickover discussing with his wife that he will never move out of his current house , learning that he has been nominated for the State Supreme Court , despite it having not been officially announced by the governor at present . That night , Kazarinski receives a phone call from his employer , who instructs him to kill Monk ; when he questions why he must do so , his employer declares that they had killed Trudy . When attending a dinner the following day at Natalie 's house , with her daughter Julie and Natalie 's boyfriend Steven Albright , Monk starts to see spots and soon runs a high fever . Taken to hospital for a blood test , haemotologist Dr. Matthew Shuler ( D.B. Woodside ) reveals that the results of the test found that Monk has been poisoned with a powerful synthetic toxin based on ricin . As no - one else got sick , the conclusion is that the poison was n't in the food at the dinner , and so the decision is made to test all of the food and other consumables in Natalie 's house , although Shule reveals that they can not create or administer an antidote , without knowing which form of the poison was used . When Stottlemeyer and Lieutenant Disher arrive to check up on Monk , they learn he will die within 2 - 3 days if not treated . After a search of items Monk had purchased fails to turn up anything poisoned , after Natalie identifies Kazarinski as having been at a supermarket that she and Monk had visited , Stottlemeyer gathers an unofficial task force within the SFPD - Disher leads one half to find out who hired the hitman to kill Dr. Nash , while Stottlemeyer leads the other half to find the hitman in order to find out what poison he used on Monk , ordering his group not to use their guns , as Kazarinski must be captured alive in order for them to save Monk . After interrogating a contact of the hitman , the group track down Kazarinski to a train station , only for him to spot an undercover police officer and make a run for it . After a lengthy chase , Kazarinski is hit by a freight train and dies , much to Stottlemeyer 's horror . Learning that the hitman had rented a motel room , the police search it and find the chemicals he used to make the poison , only for Stottlemeyer to learn that the police labs wo n't be able to find the necessary information for the antidote in time . Having learned that none of the food he had bought at the supermarket was found to be poisoned , Monk visits Dr. Neven Bell ( Héctor Elizondo ) to talk about all that has happened in the past few days , and then leaves him dejected when he sets off to cancel his remaining appointments and finalize his affairs before his death . Taking a moment to visit Trudy 's grave with Natalie , Monk returns home and finally decides to open his wife 's small present for him , finding it to be a video tape . Playing it , he finds it be a recording made by Trudy , who addresses him and reveals that she managed to keep a secret from him , a terrible one that occurred years before they had met . Part ii ( edit ) Two hours into the recording , Monk pauses it as he is unable to continue watching the rest . Natalie is forced to do so , despite the visible distraught on Monk 's face when he hears how Trudy had had an affair with Rickover when he had been a law professor at Berkeley . In her confession , she assures Monk that she never knew he was married , but that the affair left her being pregnant with a baby girl , whom she never got to see ; the baby died nine minutes after birth . She then reveals a posthumous conviction to Monk - ten years after the affair , Rickover called her out of the blue in order to arrange a meeting with her at a parking garage , but that she is nervous over this due to the sinister tone in his voice during the phone call , and the fact that Stroud , the woman who had disappeared at the time the call was made , had been involved in delivering the child created by the affair . Trudy suspects that Rickover is covering up the affair 's existence by silencing those involved , thus she has made a video in order to tell Monk the truth if she should meet an untimely end , adding that if he is watching it , her fears came true and she is dead , otherwise , she would have replaced the tape with the digital watch he had wanted that year . Furious and determined not to die yet until he exposes Rickover 's crimes , despite Natalie 's efforts to dissuade him , Monk confronts Rickover during his confirmation hearing for the office of State Supreme Justice , in order to question him . When he does n't confess and soon begins to insult both Monk 's and Trudy 's mental stability , Monk violently attacks him until he is escorted away by guards . Brought back to hospital , Monk is visited by Stottlemyer and Randy , who bring him several files on Rickover , and reveal that phone records had shown several calls between him and Dr. Nash . Before Stottlemyer leaves , Monk has him promise to kill Rickover when he dies , but knows he is lying when he agrees to Monk 's request . As Monk goes over the files , he realizes something is missing , and after hearing a nurse quip that no one bothers to cover up affairs any more , he remembers the conversation between Rickover and his wife over his house , and deduces that a crucial clue is connected to it . At Monk 's apartment , while putting his things into clear plastic bags with her boyfriend , Natalie starts to feel ill and begins seeing spots . She immediately realizes that the poison was planted into Monk 's handwipes that she had used on the bags , and has Albright telephone the hospital with this information so that the antidote can be made . However , after she is treated , Natalie , Stottlemyer and Disher soon learn from a nurse that Monk had sedated the guard protecting him , stolen his gun , and disappeared from the hospital , leading them to realize what he is planning to do . As they arrive at Rickover 's house with uniformed officers and the antidote , the group witness Monk forcing Rickover at gunpoint to dig at a spot before his front yard 's sundial , stating to the group that the remains of the missing midwife are there . As Disher continues digging , Monk reveals to the group that Rickover committed the murders , in order to ensure that nothing stopped him from securing the position of appellate judge that he had worked hard for . Twelve years ago , Wendy Stroud had found religion and told Rickover she intended to tell the press about his affair with Trudy and the child it caused , that she had helped to deliver , forcing him to kill her and bury her in his front yard ; his reason for not wanting to leave his home , even if it meant commuting to Sacramento , was because he did n't want to risk anyone digging up the remains . After killing the midwife , Rickover was forced to kill Trudy , as she was the only person who would be able to connect Stroud 's disappearance to him . Twelve years later , Dr. Nash came across references to the child when digitizing the birthing clinic 's patient records , and thus suspected what had happened to Stroud . Becoming greedy , he attempted to blackmail him , causing Rickover to panic and hire Kazarinski to kill him , before later having him poison Monk upon the detective becoming a serious issue ; he knew the handwipes had been poisoned , as when Monk dropped one when confronting him , Rickover had picked it up with his pen . Upon Disher finding the remains , Rickover steals Monk 's gun as he suffers a coughing fit , shouts `` You take care of her '' , and then commits suicide in order to avoid going to jail . A few days later , Monk , having recovered since being given the antidote , meets with Dr. Bell to discuss Rickover 's final words , and how he feels unhappy that his quest to find Trudy 's murderer had been such a part of his life in the past several years , that now he knows the truth he has begun wondering what he will now do with himself . While packing up Trudy 's things into boxes when he returns home , Monk finds an old newspaper article concerning how Stroud 's disappearance , and discovers that Trudy 's child did not die after birth ; Stroud had secretly taken the child away at Rickover 's request , and put her up for adoption , as the baby 's date of birth matches the date that Trudy gave birth on . Anxious to meet her , he is pleasantly surprised when Stottlemyer tracks her down . Attending the meeting , Monk finally meets with Trudy 's daughter , Molly Evans ( Alona Tal ) , whom he discovers to bear a striking resemblance to Trudy and that she , much like her mother , is a writer , working as a film critic for a local paper in Monterey County . The pair find themselve happy to meet each other and begin to spend time together . While showing off his many pictures of her to the others , Stottlemeyer finds Disher trying to hide away a letter and grabs it , finding that his lieutenant has been offered a position as Chief of Police in Summit , New Jersey , and that his secrecy over his vacation to the east coast had been due to him having been dating Monk 's former nurse and assistant Sharona Fleming . As Monk takes a walk along the beach with Molly , he finds himself asked by her on what he will do , now that he Trudy 's murder is solved , to which replies that he wants to retire and follow Molly around and document her life with scrapbooks of photographs . Molly tells him that he ca n't give up being a detective , advising him to use the gift he has to `` help all the Trudys in the world '' , to which Monk agrees to continue his work as a detective / consultant . As Monk prepares for another day , with his actions , speech and style of clothing implying that his various phobias and obsessions are now under control , he informs Natalie that he will be going to the movies with Molly , before the pair leave to take on another case , with Monk returning to check that the stove is off . In an epilogue made after a montage of clips from the course of the show 's eight seasons : Disher comfortably settles into his new job as Police Chief ; Stottlemeyer is now happily married to T.K. ( Virginia Madsen ) ; and Monk and Natalie arrive at a crime scene to tackle their next case for Stottlemeyer . Reception ( edit ) Critical reception ( edit ) `` Mr. Monk and the End '' has received generally positive reviews . Allison Waldman of TvSquad called the cliffhanger at the end of `` Part 1 '' great and said that she was `` dying to know how ( it would be ) resolved '' . She also praised Tony Shalhoub 's acting in the bed scene in which he talks to Trudy . Waldman called the drama `` tense '' in `` Part 2 '' , and praised Shalhoub and Craig T. Nelson 's acting . Jonah Krakow of IGN had mixed feelings about the finale , saying that Molly 's introduction was a nice way to send the show off , although he felt cheated that the show 's biggest mystery was literally handed to Monk in a box . Like Waldman , he praised Shalhoub 's and Nelson 's acting , and the tension of their scene in which Nelson digs up the midwife 's body . Overall he gave it an 8 out of 10 . The A.V. Club 's Todd VanDerWerff called it `` a surprisingly sweet ending to a show that I have n't watched regularly in a few years '' , and gave it a `` B + '' . Ratings ( edit ) `` Part 1 '' gained 5.8 million viewers . `` Part 2 '' set various records in television history , with 9.4 million viewers . It was the series high ( previously set by the prior season 's finale `` Mr. Monk Fights City Hall '' ) , USA Network 's most - watched scripted television show ( previously set by Burn Notice ) , and basic cable 's most - watched hour - long drama ( previously set by The Closer with 9.2 million viewers ) . Awards and nominations ( edit ) Tony Shalhoub was nominated for the 2010 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for this episode . Additionally , Randy Newman won the 2010 Primetime Emmy Award for Original Outstanding Music and Lyrics for the song `` When I 'm Gone '' .

It was released as the lead single from the album on 21 April 2009 by Virgin Records ( EMI France ) . The song was conceived when Guetta played the instrumental version during one of his DJ sets in summer 2008 ; American recording artist Kelly Rowland , who fell in love with the track , convinced Guetta to allow her to take it so that she could write and record vocals for it . It was co-written by Nervo . According to Rowland , the song inspired her to pursue a more dance - oriented sound for her album Here I Am ( 2011 ) , while Guetta noted `` When Love Takes Over '' for providing the framework for his future musical explorations and inspiring him to experiment with more urban sounds . Guetta and Frédéric Riesterer produced the song with piano riffs and a melodic backing track . Veronica Ferraro mixed the song , focussing primarily on giving Rowland 's vocals a magical and inspiring tone . Critics would later state that Rowland 's vocals on `` When Love Take Over '' helped to establish herself as a solo vocalist . The song 's lyrics carry a message of the euphoria one feels when in love with a significant other , while the production bears some similarities to Coldplay 's 2002 hit single `` Clocks . '' `` When Love Takes Over '' received universal acclaim . Most noted the addition of Rowland 's powerful and emotionally charged vocals which made the single the most memorable song from One Love . The production was praised for its lush production and euphoric sentiments . It achieved worldwide success by topping the charts in ten countries , including in the United Kingdom , Republic of Ireland , Italy and Switzerland . At the time of release , it became Guetta 's highest charting single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Rowland 's second number one single in the United Kingdom . `` When Love Takes Over '' ranked at number one on Billboard 's Best of 2009 Dance Club Songs chart . In 2013 , Billboard named `` When Love Takes Over '' its number one dance - pop collaboration of all time , in addition to noting the lasting cultural impact that the collaboration would have on dance music and its indication of the emerging electronic dance music trend in America at its time of release . In the song 's accompanying music video , Rowland and Guetta reminisce of how the song came together . It follows the duo as they prepare for a party before coming together for the final result . `` When Love Takes Over '' was promoted mainly at award shows , including the MTV Latin Music Video Awards , NRJ Music Awards and the World Music Awards . Guetta and Rowland reunited in late 2009 to perform `` When Love Takes Over '' for the annual Miss Universe competition . The single earned seven Platinum certifications as well as five Gold certificates , selling over 5.5 million copies worldwide . Additionally , it earned Guetta two Grammy Award nominations for `` Best Dance Recording '' and `` Best Non-Classical , Remixed Recording '' , the latter of which Guetta won for his `` Electro Extended Mix '' of `` When Love Takes Over '' .

Rowland has acknowledged on several occasions that although she loved dance music , it was not really the type of music she would record . While in Europe in 2008 , she met Guetta at one of his DJ shows in Southern France and commented that `` Listening to him was just crazy . '' Guetta was playing the instrumental version of `` When Love Takes Over '' . Recalling that it brought tears to her eyes , Rowland remarked , `` I felt so much emotion from the track ; something happened the first time I heard it , and it was just beautiful . And I remember thinking ' Why is this touching me like this ? ' You know , it was like there was a kinda soul - tie to it ! '' Upon meeting Guetta , she asked him for the song so she could write its lyrics . `` So I met David and asked him for the track ... He gave it to me , and I brought it back here to London , UK and wrote the actual song '' . At a writing session in a London hotel room , Rowland and songwriting duo Nervo wrote the lyrics and melody over Guetta 's backing track . Rowland later joined Guetta and Julie Terry Lefèvre - Han in the recording studio to finish off the song . Later in a 2010 interview , The Nervo Twins revealed that Rowland 's record label were not keen on the song despite their and Rowland 's enthusiasm . Consequently , `` When Love Takes Over '' was shelved until Guetta rediscovered the song when compiling his fourth studio album , One Love . The finished song with Rowland 's vocals and Guetta 's production was premiered in March 2009 at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami . A month later on 21 April 2009 , the single was released in Europe , and the United States . In the UK , the single 's release had to be brought forward to 11 June 2009 to combat an `` inferior '' cover version released on 9 May 2009 . Additionally , beginning in July / August 2009 , American TV channel Bravo licensed the song for a two - month period , to use for in - house advertising . Recording and production ( edit ) The recording and mixing of `` When Love Takes Over '' took place in summer and autumn of 2008 . After Rowland heard the instrumental of `` When Love Takes Over '' -- a piano loop - based melody with throbbing percussion -- she asked Guetta if she could take the demo and several other tracks to work on . She wrote the lyrics and recorded the vocals in London , within a day . She was aided by Australian songwriters and producers Miriam and Olivia Nervo ( The Nervo Twins ) . However the song remained unfinished until Guetta rediscovered the track while compiling his One Love album . After getting selected for the album , `` When Love Takes Over '' was given to Frédéric Riesterer who , aside from producing the song with Guetta , was tasked the final audio mixing of the song . However Riesterer decided to give the track to French mixing engineer Veronica Ferraro , who would later go on to say that `` Reisterer was supposed to mix it , but he wanted me to do it and see how it turned out . The first time I heard the track I immediately knew it would be a huge hit . '' The track was mixed in September 2008 , at Ferraro 's Super Sonic Scale studio near Paris , the day after her birthday . Before working on the song 's individual elements , Ferraro converted the recording sessions from a generic digital audio workstation system to her programme of choice , Pro Tools . Following this , she decided that she would focus primarily on Rowland 's vocals . `` Frédéric had the right sounds on the drums and the keyboards , so I did not change very much . I just did some standard things , with EQ and compression and things like that . After that my obsession was to get the vocals to sound as good as possible . When I 'm mixing a track , I want something to happen , something that takes the listener somewhere . You want the right things in the right place , but it 's not a technical issue . It 's actually an artistic issue to have everything in the right place -- the mixing has to be magic . It was not difficult in this case , because I knew the song would be a hit , but I did my best to make the vocal sound magical , like an angel singing , so that the hit quality of the song was immediately obvious . I wanted to make sure that the voice takes you from the beginning to the end and does n't lose you . '' Ferraro told Sound On Sound that she did add a bass drum sample , as she felt that the kick was missing something . `` Rather than equalise it , I added a little bit of my sample to make the BD track sound bigger '' . However she did alter the two piano elements of the song , using the Flex Studio Tool to widen the sound of the piano element without the delay . Additionally , Ferraro used a number of French plug - in software to amplify many of the track 's instruments , including the violin , strings and guitar samples . She then moved on to Rowland 's vocals , which `` were extensively processed '' , including equalization and de-essing . Then upon completion of her work on the song , Ferraro sent `` When Love Takes Over '' to her husband , Bruno Gruel , and his Elektra Mastering Suite which is located in the same building as the Super Sonic Scale Studio . Gruel received the song in a standard Pro Tools format , 24 - bit / 44.1 kHz . He used several pieces of software to realign all of the elements of the song , particularly the bass drums and low synths . Composition ( edit ) David Guetta feat . Kelly Rowland -- `` When Love Takes Over '' ( 2009 ) A 19 - second sample of `` When Love Takes Over '' , where the `` lush piano loop '' and `` throbbing percussion '' lead into Rowland 's `` powerhouse diva vocals '' Problems playing this file ? See media help . `` When Love Takes Over '' is a synthpop and `` uplifting floor - filler '' produced by Guetta and his associate Frédéric Riesterer . Jason Lipshutz from Billboard magazine described it as a `` pop number built around a lush piano loop and throbbing percussion '' with trance elements . According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony / ATV Music Publishing , the song was written in the key of F ♯ major mixolydian with a time signature of common time and a tempo of 130 beats per minute . The final recording and mixing took place at Gum Prod Studios in Paris . Some elements of the song were compared to the riff and piano opener in the song `` Clocks '' by Coldplay . After gaining Guetta 's approval to write vocals for the song , Rowland took the instrumental version to London , where she wrote the bulk of the lyrics with The Nervo Twins ( Miriam and Olivia Nervo ) before sending the song back to Guetta , who added his own contributions with Frédéric Riesterer . Rowland uses a vocal range of F ♯ to D ♯ . Guetta said that `` Kelly ( 's vocals ) had this Whitney Houston vibe and nailed it . '' Critics agreed , noting that often her vocals were `` powerful '' and `` grand '' . Others called them `` a diva masterclass '' and `` emotionally charged '' . Fraser McAlpine from BBC Online compared Rowland 's vocals to those by Madonna in `` Ray of Light '' , for their `` hands - in - the - air pop song '' qualities . Critical reception ( edit ) Critics found the song similar to `` Clocks '' by Coldplay . The song received critical acclaim from music critics for both Guetta 's catchy production and Rowland 's strong vocals . It was called the strongest and most commercial single choice from Guetta 's album , One Love . Critics noted that the song 's opening piano riff was similar to that from Coldplay 's hit single `` Clocks '' ( 2002 ) . David Jefferes of Allmusic gave the song a thumbs up saying , calling `` When Love Takes Over '' one of the strongest songs from One Love and praising the `` ( addition of ) the powerful voice of Kelly Rowland for one grand , uplifting floor - filler . '' Simon Vozick - Levinson of Entertainment Weekly agreed calling the song the `` most memorable from the album '' and recalling `` Clocks '' by Coldplay to make `` a showstopper starring Kelly Rowland . '' Michael Hibbard of MusicOMH was impressed with both the production and vocal work on `` When Love Takes Over '' . He pointed out the rarity in the amount of promotion given to the song , referring to `` When Love Takes Over '' being given `` its own poster on the Tube . '' He also described the song as a `` euphoric masterpiece '' backed by `` at least eight remixes '' and the accompany vocals from `` Destiny 's Child songbird Kelly Rowland on hand for a diva masterclass . '' Also agreeing with these comments was Fraser McAlpine from BBC Online who awarded the song four out of five stars . `` The genius ingredients include a thinly reworked go at the piano riff to ' Clocks ' by Coldplay and handclaps ... And the fairy dust is ... well ... it 's your standard dance - pop production , actually . '' However he noted that the production was `` tastefully done to make sure that the good bits are not spoilt '' . Other elements of the song such as the `` bed of synthistrings , a skippy beat , a breakdown , some riffing glassy electronics and a dramatic , cinematic bottom end drone '' were praised . McAlpine also praised Rowland 's appearance on the track , commenting who she sounded `` entirely unlike herself , so that even SHE is all buffed up and shiny . '' He described the marriage of Rowland 's vocals and Guetta 's production by stating that `` ( Rowland 's ) got a spiralling , sky - scraping melody to sing too . '' Erin Martin of PopMatters said that `` When Love Takes Over '' had euphoric properties . Martin said the song was `` a classic , triumphant dance number , and Rowland 's powerhouse vocals ensure that this song has anthemic potential for years to come . This song just feels good to listen to '' . She also noted that the song was central to the concept and `` love - spreading message ( that ) Guetta delivers on the album as a whole . '' David Balls of Digital Spy agreed with the song 's anthem credentials . `` ( It ) is further evidence that Rowland may no longer be resigned to living in Beyoncé ( Knowles ' ) shadow . Fusing classic dance beats with a heady , emotionally charged vocal , it 's a world away from the mid-tempo R&B numbers with which she started her solo career . In fact , this packs a punch from the very first listen , meaning it could well become one of the summer anthems of 2009 . '' However , Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times was less impressed than the other critics , simply noting the song as `` a cheesy synthpop makeover of Coldplay 's ' Clocks ' . '' Wood did however state that it was among Guetta 's best work and was an example of when the DJ is `` most commercial '' . The song was nominated for the Best Dance Recording award at the 52nd Grammy Awards ceremony . It lost out to `` Poker Face '' by Lady Gaga . The song 's Electro Extended Remix was successful at the ceremony , winning Guetta his first Grammy Award for the Best Remixed Recording , Non-Classical . In 2013 , Billboard named `` When Love Takes Over '' their number one dance - pop collaboration of all time . Chart performance ( edit ) Guetta during a DJ set on his One Love World Tour In Guetta 's native France , `` When Love Takes Over '' debuted on the French Digital Chart at number 14 on 25 April 2009 before subsequently peaking at number three on 18 July 2009 .

In Rowland 's native country of the United States the single was successful , topping both the Hot Dance Airplay and Hot Dance Club Songs charts , as well as reaching number 76 on the Billboard Hot 100 . This became Guetta 's highest Hot 100 chart position at the time .

It gave Rowland her second number one single in Britain , the first being `` Dilemma '' alongside Nelly in October 2002 . `` When Love Takes Over '' was awarded a Platinum certification by the British Phonographic Industry in July 2013 for shipping over 650,000 copies . On The Official Charts Company 's official countdown of the Top 100 British Downloads of all time , `` When Love Takes Over '' ranks at number 58 , marking Rowland 's only entry on the chart . However it is Guetta 's second entry on the chart , behind `` Sexy Bitch '' ( with Akon ) which charted at number 27 . In total , the single has sold over 5.5 million copies worldwide . Music video ( edit ) Background and concept ( edit ) Venice Beach and the Boardwalk , as seen in the music video for `` When Love Takes Over '' The music video was filmed on 19 May 2009 at Venice Beach , Los Angeles , directed by Jonas Åkerlund . Guetta revealed that the video 's story and concept were designed to mimic the story behind the song 's creation . He said , `` you see Kelly doing her thing and then me on the other side doing mine . Eventually we come together just like how we recorded the song . It 's all about sharing the love from this record and making a big party '' . These reflections and more behind the scenes footage were revealed in the video clip `` Making of When Love Takes Over '' which was uploaded to Guetta 's official YouTube channel on 1 June 2009 . The music video itself premiered on 8 June 2009 on Guetta 's YouTube channel . The video premiered after the European and United States digital release but just before the single 's UK digital release on 10 June 2009 . Synopsis and reception ( edit ) The video focuses on Rowland walking through the streets of Venice Beach while Guetta gathers his DJ equipment and pushes it towards the beach . Through the video a number of street performers join the gathering crowd , including a motocross bicycler , a skateboarder , and a BBoy Cloud . The last scene , sees Rowland and Guetta unite on the beach for a late night party which sees the duo performing together . Capital FM described the video as `` lots of shots of people having fun in the sun '' . Melinda Newman from Hitfix praised Rowland 's role in the clip saying that `` ( Rowland ) is fierce throughout and it clearly experiencing a bit of a career resurgence after a dip . ( She ) gives her best Beyoncé - type stares straight into the camera ( but we 're sure that 's just a coincidence ) ... Guetta , who is relegated to a supporting role in his own video , shows up pushing his gear on a cart , looking basically like any other homeless guy hanging out in Venice . '' Some criticism did follow the video . Capital FM radio station felt that Guetta 's appearance in the clip was slightly disappointing . `` Guetta looks a bit like a binman pushing his gear round the streets in some of the earlier shots in the video '' . Newman said that the video 's director , Jonas Åkerlund , had removed something from the song . `` The video could have built on the great beat that builds within the song and the feeling of abandon that falling in love can bring you , but , instead , we get a telegenic couple making out who seem to drop in from nowhere . '' Performances and promotion ( edit ) David Guetta and Kelly Rowland performing at Orange Rockcorps , London Guetta premiered the completed version of `` When Love Takes Over '' on 23 March 2009 at the Ultra Music Festival . Promotion of the single began in the UK with an acoustic performance of the single at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge on 10 May 2009 and then again on UK daytime show , This Morning , on 18 June 2009 . They also appeared at the Miss Universe 2009 contest in the Bahamas , where the duo performed the song live for the `` Evening Gown '' competition . Another major part of the promotion included appearances at the Loop Live 2009 music festival in Sofia , Bulgaria and Rowland 's appeared at the TAO Night Club in Las Vegas , where she hosted celebrations for `` When Love Takes Over '' reaching number one around the world . The duo returned to the UK to perform at Orange Rockcorps at London 's Royal Albert Hall in September 2009 , before performing at the 2009 MTV Latin America Music Video Awards on 15 October 2010 . It was used by US TV channel , Bravo , during an internal advertising campaign . `` When Love Takes Over '' was still being promoted in 2010 when the pair performed at the French NRJ Music Awards on 24 January 2010 and at the 2010 World Music Awards on 5 June , more than one year after the song 's release . Cover versions ( edit ) Airi L version ( edit ) British dance music artist Airi L released a bootleg version of the song 9 May 2009 , several days before the Guetta and Rowland version was due to be released . EMI Music called Airi L 's version `` inferior '' and decided to combat her cover by releasing Guetta 's version on 11 June 2009 in the UK , earlier than originally planned . The cover debuted and peaked at number 22 , selling 12,000 copies whilst Guetta and Rowland 's version debuted at number seven with 25,000 copies . According to Yahoo ! Music 's James Masterton , Rowland 's version would have debuted at a higher place had it not been for the `` bootleg cover '' . He said the single had to be rush released `` when not one but two spoiler ( and indeed near - identical ) cover versions started to race up the iTunes rankings and threatened to have a negatively impact on the ' official ' version . '' The following week Guetta and Rowland 's version would debut at number one . Other cover versions ( edit ) British singer - songwriter , Pixie Lott , covered the song for the re-issue of her debut album , Turn It Up . Then in the second week of October 2010 , the song was covered twice by contestants on The X Factor . Matt Cardle performed his version on the opening show of the seventh series of the UK version , while Hayley Teal sang a version on the second series of the Australian version . Following Cardle 's performance , `` When Love Takes Over '' jumped twelve places on UK Dance Chart , to number seventeen . Baraa Qadoura performed his version on the third live show of the eighth season of the Danish version of X Factor . In 2016 , American gospel singer Yolanda Adams covered the song for the US version of the musical The Passion . Legacy ( edit ) Rowland told MTV that `` working with David is amazing . We have a great relationship , it 's so effortless . He 's such a talented individual . But most importantly he 's such a down to earth , nice guy and I really enjoy working with him . We have good musical chemistry together . '' Guetta told Billboard that `` the track with Kelly has made him experiment with a more American urban influence . Musically , it 's pure pop with a lot of detail . '' Additionally British singer Cheryl Cole ( of Girls Aloud ) credited `` When Love Takes Over '' for inspiring her taste and preference in dance music , which in turn influenced her second solo single `` 3 Words '' ( featuring will.i.am ) . Later in 2010 when recording her third album , Here I Am ( 2011 ) , Rowland credited both Guetta and the song for inspiring her to pursue a new sound . Rowland relates : `` I spent about a year of my life in Europe really listening to a whole bunch of Europeans DJs and hearing dance music a lot on the radio and really loving it . ' When Love Takes Over ' it was my first introduction to dance music ( and ) it was a whole other monster . It 's really a culture and I love it . '' In 2010 , following the success of `` When Love Takes Over '' and the duo 's musical chemistry , Guetta was asked to work on Rowland 's third studio album . He co-produced a couple of the songs including the album 's first single , `` Commander '' . Later in 2013 , Kerri Mason and Zel McCarthy compiled a list of the top - ten dance - pop collaborations of all time for Billboard magazine . In their article , the critics named `` When Love Takes Over '' at the top of the list , saying that the song `` repositioned Kelly Rowland as a solo vocalist with chops on her own . '' The duo also commented that subsequent collaborations between Guetta and Rowland were not as good as `` When Love Takes Over '' , also adding that Rowland 's vocal was firmly part of `` dance music history '' and were an indication of the growing electronic dance music ( EDM ) trend emerging in America at the time .

french dj whose hits include when love takes over
[ "\"When Love Takes Over\" is a song by French DJ-music producer David Guetta with vocals by Kelly Rowland from his fourth studio album, One Love. It was released as the lead single from the album on 21 April 2009 by Virgin Records (EMI France). The song was conceived when Guetta played the instrumental version during one of his DJ sets in summer 2008; American recording artist Kelly Rowland, who fell in love with the track, convinced Guetta to allow her to take it so that she could write and record vocals for it. It was co-written by Nervo.\n" ]

It is the second longest - running West End musical , after Les Misérables , and the third longest - running West End show overall , after The Mousetrap . With total estimated worldwide gross receipts of over $ 5.6 billion and total Broadway gross of $845 million , Phantom was the most financially successful entertainment event until The Lion King surpassed it in 2014 . By 2011 , it had been seen by over 130 million people in 145 cities across 27 countries , and continues to play in London and New York .

He was aiming for a romantic piece , and suggested Gaston Leroux 's book The Phantom of the Opera as a basis . They screened both the 1925 Lon Chaney and the 1943 Claude Rains motion picture versions , but neither saw an effective way to make the leap from film to stage . Later , in New York , Lloyd Webber found a second - hand copy of the original , long - out - of - print Leroux novel , which supplied the necessary inspiration to develop a musical : `` I was actually writing something else at the time , and I realised that the reason I was hung up was because I was trying to write a major romantic story , and I had been trying to do that ever since I started my career . Then with the Phantom , it was there ! '' Lyricists ( edit ) Lloyd Webber first approached Jim Steinman to write the lyrics because of his `` dark obsessive side '' , but he declined in order to fulfill his commitments on a Bonnie Tyler album . Alan Jay Lerner was then recruited , but he became seriously ill after joining the project and was forced to withdraw ; none of his contributions ( mostly involving the song `` Masquerade '' ) are credited in the show . Richard Stilgoe , the lyricist for Starlight Express , wrote most of the original lyrics for the production . Charles Hart , a young and then - relatively unknown lyricist , later rewrote many of the lyrics , along with original lyrics for `` Think of Me '' . Some of Stilgoe 's original contributions are still present in the final version , however . Score ( edit ) Inspired in part by an earlier musical version of the same story by Ken Hill , Lloyd Webber 's score is sometimes operatic in style but maintains the form and structure of a musical throughout . The full - fledged operatic passages are reserved principally for subsidiary characters such as Andre and Firmin , Carlotta , and Piangi . They are also used to provide the content of the fictional `` operas '' that are taking place within the show itself , viz. , Hannibal , Il Muto , and the Phantom 's masterwork , Don Juan Triumphant . `` Here , Lloyd Webber pastiched various styles from the grand operas of Meyerbeer through to Mozart and even Gilbert and Sullivan . '' These pieces are often presented as musical fragments , interrupted by dialogue or action sequences in order to clearly define the musical 's `` show within a show '' format . The musical extracts from the Phantom 's opera , `` Don Juan Triumphant '' , during the latter stages of the show , are dissonant and modern -- `` suggesting , perhaps , that the Phantom is ahead of his time artistically '' . Design , direction , and choreography ( edit ) Maria Björnson designed the sets and over 200 costumes , including the elaborate gowns in the `` Masquerade '' sequence . Her set designs , including the chandelier , subterranean gondola , and sweeping staircase , earned her multiple awards . Hal Prince , director of Cabaret , Candide , Follies , and Lloyd Webber 's Evita , directed the production , while Gillian Lynne , associate director and choreographer of Cats , provided the integral musical staging and choreography . First preview at Sydmonton ( edit ) A preview of the first act was staged at Sydmonton ( Lloyd Webber 's home ) in 1985 , starring Colm Wilkinson ( later the star of the Toronto production ) as the Phantom , Sarah Brightman as Kristin ( later Christine ) , and Clive Carter ( later a member of the London cast ) as Raoul . This very preliminary production used Richard Stilgoe 's original unaltered lyrics , and many songs sported names that were later changed , such as `` What Has Time Done to Me '' ( `` Think of Me '' ) , and `` Papers '' ( `` Notes '' ) . The Phantom 's original mask covered the entire face and remained in place throughout the performance , obscuring the actor 's vision and muffling his voice . Björnson designed the now - iconic half - mask to replace it , and the unmasking sequence was added . Clips of this preview performance were included on the DVD of the 2004 film production . West End ( edit ) Phantom began previews at Her Majesty 's Theatre in London 's West End on 27 September 1986 under the direction of Hal Prince , then opened on 9 October . It was choreographed by Gillian Lynne and the sets were designed by Maria Björnson , with lighting by Andrew Bridge . Michael Crawford starred in the title role with Sarah Brightman as Christine and Steve Barton as Raoul . The production , still playing at Her Majesty 's , celebrated its 10,000 th performance on 23 October 2010 , with Lloyd Webber and the original Phantom , Michael Crawford , in attendance . It is the second longest - running musical in West End ( and world ) history behind Les Misérables , and third overall behind The Mousetrap . A 25th - anniversary stage performance was held in London on 1 and 2 October 2011 at the Royal Albert Hall and was screened live in cinemas worldwide . The production was produced by Cameron Mackintosh , directed by Laurence Connor , musical staging & choreography by Gillian Lynne , set design by Matt Kinley , costume design by Maria Björnson , lighting design by Patrick Woodroffe , and sound design by Mick Potter . The cast included Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom , Sierra Boggess as Christine , Hadley Fraser as Raoul , Wynne Evans as Piangi , Wendy Ferguson as Carlotta , Barry James as Monsieur Firmin , Gareth Snook as Monsieur Andre , Liz Robertson as Madame Giry , and Daisy Maywood as Meg Giry . Lloyd Webber and several original cast members , including Crawford and Brightman , were in attendance . A DVD and Blu - ray of the performance was released in February 2012 , and it began airing in March 2012 on PBS 's `` Great Performances '' television series . In March 2012 , a new production directed by Laurence Connor began a UK and Ireland tour to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the show , beginning at the Theatre Royal Plymouth and travelled to Manchester , Bristol , Dublin , Leeds , Edinburgh , Milton Keynes , Cardiff , and Southampton . John Owen - Jones and Earl Carpenter alternated as the Phantom with Katie Hall and Olivia Brereton as Christine and Simon Bailey as Raoul . Broadway ( edit ) Phantom began Broadway previews at the Majestic Theatre on 9 January 1988 and opened on 26 January . Crawford , Brightman , and Barton reprised their respective roles from the West End . The production continues to play at the Majestic , where it became the first Broadway musical in history to surpass 10,001 performances on 11 February 2012 . On 26 January 2013 , the production celebrated its 25th anniversary with its 10,400 th performance . It is , by over 3,500 performances , the longest - running show in Broadway history . By November 2016 , Phantom had been staged over 12,000 times over 28 years . The 30th anniversary was on January 26 , 2018 with an extra matinee and the regularly scheduled Friday evening performance . The celebration performance was performed on the 24th , with members of the original cast and alumni in attendance along with an invite - only audience . Amateur productions ( edit ) In 2013 , the rights to perform `` Phantom '' were released to non-professional groups . CLOC musical theatre staged the world amateur premiere in May 2013 at the National Theatre in Melbourne , Australia . In June 2013 , Windmill Theatre Company staged the production at the Drum Theatre in Dandenong . Also in June 2013 , Wellington Musical Theatre debuted the New Zealand premiere starring Chris Crowe and Barbara Graham . Synopsis ( edit ) Prologue ( edit ) In 1919 Paris , the Opéra Populaire hosts an auction of old theatrical props . Among the attendees is the Vicomte Raoul de Chagny , who purchases a papier - mâché music box and eyes it sadly , remarking how the details are `` exactly as she said . '' The auctioneer presents `` a chandelier in pieces '' as the next item up for bid , alluding to a connection with `` the Phantom of the Opera '' . As the porters remove the drop cloth covering the fixture , it flickers to life and ascends to the ceiling as the auditorium 's former grandeur is restored ( `` Overture '' ) . Act I ( edit ) It is now 1881 and the cast of a new production , Hannibal , are rehearsing onstage when they learn that new owners , Firmin and André , are taking over the Opéra Populaire . Carlotta , the Opéra 's resident soprano prima donna , begins to perform an aria for the new managers when a backdrop inexplicably falls from the flies , barely missing her and prompting anxious chorus girls to whisper , `` He 's here ! The Phantom of the Opera ! '' . The managers try to downplay the incident , but Carlotta angrily insists that such things happen all the time and she storms out . Madame Giry , the Opéra 's ballet mistress , informs Firmin and André that Christine Daaé , a chorus girl and orphaned daughter of a prominent violinist , has been `` well taught '' and can sing Carlotta 's role . With cancellation of the sold out show being their only other alternative , the managers reluctantly audition Christine and are surprised to discover that she is indeed up to the challenge . As Christine sings the aria during the evening performance , the Opéra 's new patron , Raoul , the Vicomte de Chagny , recognizes her as his childhood friend and playmate ( `` Think of Me '' ) . Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman performing the title song Backstage after her triumphant début , Christine confesses to her best friend Meg ( Madame Giry 's daughter ) that she knows her mysterious teacher only as an invisible `` Angel of Music '' ( `` Angel of Music '' ) . Raoul pays a visit to Christine 's dressing room . The two reminisce about the `` Angel of Music '' stories that her late father used to tell them and Christine confides that the Angel has visited her and taught her to sing ( `` Little Lotte '' ) . Raoul indulges what he assumes are fantasies and insists on taking Christine to dinner . When Raoul leaves to fetch his hat , Christine hears the jealous Phantom 's voice and she entreats him to reveal himself . The Phantom obliges by appearing as a ghostly , partially masked face in her mirror ( `` The Mirror / Angel of Music ( Reprise ) '' ) . Believing him to be the Angel of Music sent by her deceased father , Christine is irresistibly drawn through the mirror to the Phantom , who leads her down into the cellars of the Opéra house . The two then board a small boat and cross a subterranean lake to his secret lair ( `` The Phantom of the Opera '' ) . The Phantom explains that he has chosen Christine to sing his music and serenades her . When he reveals a mirror that reflects an image of her in a wedding dress , the figure in the mirror gestures to Christine and she faints . The Phantom then covers her tenderly with his cloak ( `` The Music of the Night '' ) . As the Phantom is composing music at his organ , Christine awakens to the sound of the monkey music box ( `` I Remember '' ) . Overcome with curiosity , she slips behind the Phantom , lifts his mask , and beholds his grotesquely disfigured face . The Phantom rails at her prying gesture , as Christine hides in fear . He then ruefully expresses his longing to look normal , and to be loved by her ( `` Stranger Than You Dreamt It '' ) . Moved by pity , Christine returns the Phantom 's mask to him and the Phantom shepherds her back above ground . Meanwhile , Joseph Buquet , the Opéra 's chief stagehand , regales the chorus girls with tales of the `` Opéra Ghost '' and his terrible Punjab lasso ( `` Magical Lasso '' ) . Madame Giry arrives and warns Buquet to exercise restraint or face the Phantom 's wrath . In the managers ' office , André and Firman read notes from the Phantom aloud and are interrupted by Raoul , who accuses them of sending him a note saying that he should make no attempt to see Christine again . Carlotta and Piangi then burst into the office , demanding to know who sent Carlotta a note saying that her days at the Opera Populaire are numbered . As André and Firmin try to calm the distressed Carlotta , Madame Giry delivers another note from the Phantom : he demands that Christine replace Carlotta in the new opera , Il Muto , lest they face a `` disaster beyond imagination '' ( `` Notes ... '' ) . Firmin and André dismiss the threat and assure an enraged Carlotta that she will remain their star ( `` Prima Donna '' ) . The première of Il Muto initially goes well , until the voice of the Phantom suddenly cuts through the performance , enraged that Box 5 was not kept empty for him . As Christine whispers that she knows the Phantom is near , Carlotta reminds her that her role is silent , calling her a `` little toad '' . The Phantom states that it is Carlotta who is the toad and reduces Carlotta 's voice to a frog - like croak . Firmin quickly tries to calm the situation by telling the audience that Christine will take over the starring role , moving forward the ballet to keep the audience entertained . Suddenly , the corpse of Joseph Buquet drops from the rafters , hanging from the Punjab lasso . Firmin and André plead for calm as mayhem erupts and the Phantom 's diabolical laughter is heard throughout the auditorium ( `` Poor Fool , He Makes Me Laugh '' ) . In the ensuing chaos , Christine escapes with Raoul to the roof and tells him about her subterranean encounter with the Phantom ( `` Why Have You Brought Me Here ? / Raoul , I 've Been There '' ) . Raoul is skeptical but promises to love and protect her , and Christine reciprocates his vow ( `` All I Ask of You '' ) . The heartbroken Phantom , having overheard their entire conversation , angrily vows revenge before returning to the auditorium and bringing down the chandelier . ( `` All I Ask of You ( Reprise ) '' ) . Act II ( edit ) Steve Barton and Sarah Brightman in the final scene Six months later , in the midst of a masquerade ball , the Phantom makes his first appearance since the chandelier disaster , in costume as the Red Death . He announces that he has written an opera entitled Don Juan Triumphant and demands that it be produced immediately , with Christine ( who is now secretly engaged to Raoul ) in the lead role , and he warns of dire consequences if his demands are not met ( `` Masquerade / Why So Silent ? '' ) . Noticing an engagement ring on a chain around Christine 's neck , the Phantom angrily pulls it from her and vanishes in a blinding flash of light . As the masquerade attendees scatter in fear , Raoul accosts Madame Giry and demands that she reveal what she knows about the Phantom . Giry reluctantly explains that the Phantom is actually a brilliant scholar , magician , architect , inventor , and composer who was born with a terrifyingly deformed face . Feared and reviled by society , he was cruelly exhibited in a cage as part of a travelling fair until he eventually escaped and disappeared . He has since taken refuge beneath the opera house , which has now become his home . During rehearsals , Raoul -- tired of the tyranny with which the Phantom rules the Opera -- thinks to use the première of Don Juan Triumphant as a trap to capture the Phantom and put an end to his reign of terror once and for all . Carlotta falsely accuses Christine of being the mastermind and that it is her plan so she can be the star . Christine angrily defends herself , saying she is not the Phantom 's accomplice , but his victim . Raoul , knowing of the Phantom 's obsession with his fiancée , asserts that the Phantom will be sure to attend the opera 's première , and begs Christine to help him lure the Phantom into the trap ( `` Notes / Twisted Every Way '' ) . Torn between her love for Raoul and her fear of the Phantom , Christine visits her father 's grave , longing for his guidance but understanding that she must move on ( `` Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again '' ) . The Phantom appears atop the mausoleum , again under the guise of the Angel of Music ( `` Wandering Child '' ) , and sings to Christine . Christine , tired and heartbroken , once again accepts her `` Angel '' as a friend , nearly succumbing to the Phantom 's influence , but Raoul arrives to both rescue her and confront The Phantom . The Phantom taunts Raoul , hurling fire balls at him until Christine begs Raoul to leave with her ( `` Bravo Monsieur '' ) . Furious , the Phantom declares war upon them both and causes flames to spring up around the mausoleum . With armed policemen having secured the auditorium and watching for the Phantom , Don Juan Triumphant premieres with Christine and Piangi singing the lead roles . During Don Juan 's and Aminta 's duet , Christine comes to the sudden realization that she is singing not with Piangi , but with the Phantom himself ( `` The Point of No Return '' ) . Mimicking Raoul 's vow of devotion on the rooftop , the Phantom once again expresses love for Christine and forces his ring onto her finger ; Christine rips off his mask , exposing his horrifically deformed face to the shocked audience . The opera house is plunged into chaos . Piangi 's garroted body is revealed backstage , the cast and audience fly into a state of panic , and the Phantom seizes Christine and flees the theatre . An angry mob , vowing vengeance for the murders of Buquet and Piangi , searches the theatre for the Phantom , while Madame Giry tells Raoul how to find the Phantom 's subterranean lair , and warns him to beware his magical lasso . ( `` Down Once More / Track Down This Murderer '' ) . In the lair , Christine is forced to don a wedding dress . Raoul finds the lair and attempts to persuade the Phantom to spare Christine , begging him to show compassion . The Phantom refuses , and captures Raoul with the Punjab lasso . The Phantom tells Christine that he will free Raoul if she agrees to stay with him forever , but if she refuses , Raoul will die . Christine , heartbroken , tells the Phantom that it is his soul that is deformed , not his face . As the Phantom and Raoul both plead to her , Christine mournfully wonders what kind of life the Phantom has known . She tells the Phantom that he is not alone and kisses him , showing him compassion for the first time in his life . The Phantom , having experienced kindness at last , understands that he can not compel Christine to love him , and sets them both free . Raoul hurries Christine out of the lair , but she returns alone to give the Phantom back his ring . The Phantom tells Christine he loves her , before she tearfully exits with Raoul . The weeping Phantom huddles on his throne and covers himself with his cloak . The mob , led by Meg , enters the lair . Meg pulls the Phantom 's cloak from the throne , finding only his mask on the seat . She lifts the mask up into the light and gazes at it in wonder as the curtain falls .

The litigation was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount . In 1990 a Baltimore songwriter named Ray Repp filed a lawsuit alleging that the title song from Phantom was based on a song that he wrote in 1978 called `` Till You '' . After eight years of litigation -- including an unsuccessful countersuit by Lloyd Webber claiming that `` Till You '' was itself a plagiarism of `` Close Every Door '' from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat -- the jury found in Lloyd Webber 's favour . Former Pink Floyd vocalist and bassist Roger Waters has repeatedly claimed in interviews that the signature descending / ascending half - tone chord progression from Phantom 's title song was plagiarised from the bass line of a track on the 1971 Pink Floyd album Meddle called `` Echoes '' . He has never taken any legal action . `` Life 's too long to bother with suing Andrew fucking Lloyd Webber , '' he said . `` I think that might make me really gloomy .

Turkey : The World Tour played in Istanbul at the Zorlu Center PSM from 7 April to 17 May 2015 . United States : Los Angeles ( 1989 -- 1993 ) , San Francisco ( 1993 -- 1999 ) . A US National tour commenced in 1991 in Los Angeles , and closed on 31 October 2010 at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood , California , after nearly two decades . The closing night performance was attended by many former cast and crew members , including Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sarah Brightman . Film version ( edit ) A film version , directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Gerard Butler as the Phantom , Emmy Rossum as Christine , Patrick Wilson as Raoul , Minnie Driver as Carlotta , and Miranda Richardson as Madame Giry , opened on 22 December 2004 in the US . Phantom : the Las Vegas Spectacular ( edit ) An edited production renamed Phantom : The Las Vegas Spectacular opened 24 June 2006 at The Venetian in Las Vegas , Nevada , in a theatre built specifically for the show to resemble the Opéra Garnier in Paris . The production ran 95 minutes with no intermission , and was directed and choreographed by Harold Prince and Gillian Lynne , with scenic designs by David Rockwell . The show featured updated technology and effects , including a re-engineered chandelier capable of reassembling in midair during the overture while the entire interior of the venue ( not merely the stage ) returned to its 1880s halcyon days . Almost 45 minutes ' worth of material was eliminated , such as the Don Juan Triumphant rehearsal . `` Poor Fool , He Makes Me Laugh '' and `` The Point of No Return '' were significantly shortened . Other changes resembled those in the 2004 film , such as staging the chandelier crash at the plot 's climax ( during performance of `` The Point of No Return '' ) rather than mid-story . The Las Vegas production closed on 2 September 2012 . Copyright release ( edit ) In 2011 The Really Useful Group ( copyright owners of Phantom ) released certain rights to the play in celebration of its 25th anniversary . In March 2011 Reed - Custer High School in Braidwood , Illinois , became the first school to perform Phantom under the new rights . Later in 2011 , Stanwell School in Penarth became the first school in the UK to perform the show .

It was loosely adapted from the 1999 novel The Phantom of Manhattan , by Forsyth . Set in 1907 ( a decade after the conclusion of Phantom according to the production 's announcement , but actually 26 years later , as the original show was set in 1881 ) , Christine is invited to perform at Phantasma , a new attraction at Coney Island , by an anonymous impresario . With her husband , Raoul , and son , Gustave , in tow she journeys to Brooklyn , unaware that it is the Phantom who has arranged her appearance at the popular beach resort . The original production was directed by Jack O'Brien and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell with set and costume designs by Bob Crowley , and opened at the Adelphi Theatre in the West End on 9 March 2010 . Though it ran for over 17 months and closed on 27 August 2011 , the production received mixed reviews . A scheduled Broadway opening in November 2010 was postponed until Spring 2011 and later cancelled . A revamped Australian production , starring Ben Lewis and Anna O'Byrne , opened 21 May 2011 at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne to more favourable notices . After the Melbourne run ended on 12 December 2011 the production moved to the Capitol Theatre in Sydney where it played from January to April 2012 .

Cover art by Jack Kirby and Paul Reinman The Black Widow 's first appearances were as a recurring , non-costumed , Russian - spy antagonist in the feature `` Iron Man '' , beginning in Tales of Suspense # 52 ( April 1964 ) . Five issues later , she recruits the besotted costumed archer and later superhero Hawkeye to her cause . Her government later supplies her with her first Black Widow costume and high - tech weaponry , but she eventually defects to the United States after appearing , temporarily brainwashed against the U.S. , in the superhero - team series The Avengers # 29 ( July 1966 ) . The Widow later becomes a recurring ally of the team before officially becoming its sixteenth member many years later . The Black Widow was visually updated in 1970 : The Amazing Spider - Man # 86 ( July 1970 ) reintroduced her with shoulder - length red hair ( instead of her former short black hair ) , a skintight black costume , and wristbands which fired spider threads . This would become the appearance most commonly associated with the character . In short order , The Black Widow starred in her own series in Amazing Adventures # 1 -- 8 ( Aug. 1970 -- Sept. 1971 ) , sharing that split book with the feature Inhumans . The Black Widow feature was dropped after only eight issues ( the Inhumans feature followed soon , ending with issue 10 ) . Immediately after her initial solo feature ended , the Black Widow co-starred in Daredevil # 81 -- 124 ( Nov. 1971 -- Aug. 1975 ) , of which # 93 - 108 were cover titled Daredevil and the Black Widow . Daredevil writer Gerry Conway recounted , `` It was my idea to team up Daredevil and the Black Widow , mainly because I was a fan of Natasha , and thought she and Daredevil would have interesting chemistry . '' Succeeding writers , however , felt that Daredevil worked better as a solo hero , and gradually wrote the Black Widow out of the series . She was immediately recast into the super-team series The Champions as the leader of the titular superhero group , which ran for 17 issues ( Oct. 1975 -- Jan. 1978 ) . Throughout the 1980s and 1990s , the Black Widow appeared frequently as both an Avengers member and a freelance agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. She starred in a serialized feature within the omnibus comic - book series Marvel Fanfare # 10 -- 13 ( Aug. 1983 -- March 1984 ) , written by George Pérez and Ralph Macchio , with art by penciller Perez . These stories were later collected in the oversized one - shot Black Widow : Web of Intrigue # 1 ( June 1999 ) . The Widow guest - starred in issues of Solo Avengers , Force Works , Iron Man , Marvel Team - Up , and other comics . She had made frequent guest appearances in Daredevil since the late 1970s . She starred in a three - issue arc , `` The Fire Next Time '' , by writer Scott Lobdell and penciller Randy Green , in Journey into Mystery # 517 -- 519 ( Feb. -- April 1998 ) . A new ongoing Black Widow comic title debuted in April 2010 . The first story arc was written by Marjorie Liu with art by Daniel Acuna . Beginning with issue # 6 ( Sept. 2010 ) , the title was written by Duane Swierczynski , with artwork by Manuel Garcia and Lorenzo Ruggiero . Black Widow appeared as a regular character throughout the 2010 -- 2013 Secret Avengers series , from issue # 1 ( July 2010 ) through its final issue # 37 ( March 2013 ) . Black Widow appears in the 2013 Secret Avengers series by Nick Spencer and Luke Ross . Black Widow appears in a relaunched ongoing series by writer Nathan Edmondson and artist Phil Noto . The first issue debuted in January 2014 . In October 2015 , it was announced that Mark Waid and Chris Samnee would be launching a new Black Widow series for 2016 as part of Marvel 's post-Secret Wars relaunch . The first issue was released in March 2016 . Limited series and specials ( edit ) Aside from the arcs in Marvel Fanfare and Journey into Mystery , the Black Widow has starred in four limited series and four graphic novels . The three - issue Black Widow ( June - Aug. 1999 ) , under the Marvel Knights imprint , starred Romanova and fully introduced her appointed successor , Captain Yelena Belova , who had briefly appeared in an issue of the 1999 series Inhumans . The writer for the story arc , `` The Itsy - Bitsy Spider '' was Devin K. Grayson while J.G. Jones was the artist . The next three - issue , Marvel Knights mini-series , also titled Black Widow ( Jan . - March 2001 ) featured both Black Widows in the story arc `` Breakdown '' , by writers Devin Grayson and Greg Rucka with painted art by Scott Hampton . Romanova next starred in another solo miniseries titled Black Widow : Homecoming ( Nov. 2004 - April 2005 ) , also under the Marvel Knights imprint and written by science fiction novelist Richard K. Morgan , with art initially by Bill Sienkiewicz and later by Sienkiewicz over Goran Parlov layouts . A six - issue sequel , Black Widow : The Things They Say About Her ( Nov. 2005 -- April 2006 ; officially Black Widow 2 : The Things They Say About Her in the series ' postal indicia ) , by writer Morgan , penciller Sean Phillips , and inker Sienkiewicz , picks up immediately where the previous miniseries left off , continuing the story using many of the same characters . She starred in the solo graphic novel Black Widow : The Coldest War ( April 1990 ) , and co-starred in three more : Punisher / Black Widow : Spinning Doomsday 's Web ( Dec. 1992 ) ; Daredevil / Black Widow : Abattoir ( July 1993 ) ; and Fury / Black Widow : Death Duty ( June 1995 ) , also co-starring Marvel UK 's Night Raven . Black Widow is also featured in the short story Love Is Blindness in I Heart Marvel : Marvel Ai ( 2006 ) # 1 ( April 2006 ) , where she instigates a humorous fight with Elektra over Daredevil 's affections . The comic is stylized to look like Japanese animation and uses images , not words , inside the speech and thought bubbles to convey what the characters are saying / thinking . In 2010 , the year in which the character , called only Natasha Romanoff , made her film debut in Iron Man 2 , the Black Widow received two separate miniseries . Black Widow and the Marvel Girls was an all - ages , four - issue series that chronicled her adventures with various women of the Marvel Universe , including Storm , She - Hulk , the Enchantress , and Spider - Woman . It was written by Paul Tobin , with art by Salvador Espin and Takeshi Miyazawa . The second four - issue miniseries , Black Widow : Deadly Origin , was written by Paul Cornell , and featured art by Tom Raney and John Paul Leon . Fictional character biography ( edit ) Early life ( edit ) First costume ( and bouffant hairdo ) . From The Avengers # 36 ( Jan. 1967 ) , art by Don Heck . Natasha was born in Stalingrad ( now Volgograd ) , Russia . The first and best - known Black Widow is a Russian agent trained as a spy , martial artist , and sniper , and outfitted with an arsenal of high - tech weaponry , including a pair of wrist - mounted energy weapons dubbed her `` Widow 's Bite '' . She wears no costume during her first few appearances but simply evening wear and a veil . Romanova eventually defects to the U.S. for reasons that include her love for the reluctant - criminal turned superhero archer , Hawkeye . First hints to Natasha Romanova 's childhood come by Ivan Petrovich , who is introduced as her middle - aged chauffeur and confidant in the Black Widow 's 1970s Amazing Adventures . The man tells Matt Murdock how he had been given custody of little Natasha by a woman just before her death during the Battle of Stalingrad in autumn 1942 . He had consequently felt committed to raise the orphan as a surrogate father and she had eventually trained as a Soviet spy , being eager to help her homeland . In another flashback , set in the fictional island of Madripoor in 1941 , Petrovich helps Captain America and the mutant Logan , who would later become the Canadian super-agent and costumed hero Wolverine , to rescue Natasha from Nazis . A revised , retconned origin establishes her as being raised from very early childhood by the U.S.S.R. 's `` Black Widow Ops '' program , rather than solely by Ivan Petrovitch . Petrovitch had taken her to Department X , with other young female orphans , where she was brainwashed , and trained in combat and espionage at the covert `` Red Room '' facility . There , she is biotechnologically and psycho - technologically enhanced -- an accounting that provides a rationale for her unusually long and youthful lifespan . During that time she had some training under Winter Soldier , and the pair even had a short romance . Each Black Widow is deployed with false memories to help ensure her loyalty . Romanova eventually discovers this , including the fact that she had never , as she had believed , been a ballerina . She further discovers that the Red Room is still active as `` 2R '' . Natasha was arranged by the KGB to marry the renowned Soviet test pilot Alexei Shostakov . However , when the Soviet government decided to make Alexei into their new operative , the Red Guardian , he is told that he can have no further contact with his wife . Natasha is told that he had died and is trained as a secret agent separately . The Avengers ( edit ) Romanova grew up to serve as a femme fatale . She was assigned to assist Boris Turgenov in the assassination of Professor Anton Vanko for defecting from the Soviet Union , which served as her first mission in the United States . Natasha and Turgenov infiltrated Stark Industries as part of the plan . She attempted to manipulate information from American defense contractor Tony Stark , and inevitably confronted his superhero alter ego , Iron Man . The pair then battled Iron Man , and Turgenov steals and wears the Crimson Dynamo suit . Vanko sacrificed himself to save Iron Man , killing Turgenov in the process , using an unstable experimental laser light pistol . Romanova later meets the criminal archer Hawkeye and sets him against Iron Man , and later helped Hawkeye battle Iron Man . Natasha once more attempted to get Hawkeye to help her destroy Iron Man . The pair almost succeeded , but when Black Widow was injured , Hawkeye retreated to get her to safety . During this period , Romanova was attempting to defect from the Soviet Union and began falling in love with Hawkeye , weakening her loyalty to her country . When her employers learned the truth , the KGB had her gunned down , sending her to a hospital , convincing Hawkeye to go straight and seek membership in the Avengers . The Red Room kidnaps and brainwashes her again , and with the Swordsman and the first Power Man , she battles the Avengers . She eventually breaks free from her psychological conditioning ( with the help of Hawkeye ) , and does successfully defect , having further adventures with Spider - Man , with Hawkeye and with Daredevil . She ultimately joins the Avengers as a costumed heroine herself . S.H.I.E.L.D. and Daredevil ( edit ) Promotional art for Black Widow : The Things They Say About Her # 1 ( Nov. 2005 ) , by Bill Sienkiewicz . Later still , she begins freelancing as an agent of the international espionage group S.H.I.E.L.D. She is sent on a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. mission to China by Nick Fury . There , with the Avengers , she battles Col. Ling , Gen. Brushov , and her ex-husband the Red Guardian . For a time , as writer Les Daniels noted in a contemporaneous study in 1971 , ... her left - wing upbringing was put to better use , and she has lately taken to fighting realistic oppressor - of - the - people types . She helps young Puerto Ricans clean up police corruption and saves young hippies from organized crime ... ( The splash page of Amazing Adventures # 3 ( Nov. 1970 ) ) reflects the recent trend toward involving fantastic characters in contemporary social problems , a move which has gained widespread publicity for Marvel and its competitor , DC . During her romantic involvement with Matt Murdock in San Francisco , she operates as an independent superhero alongside Murdock 's alter ego , Daredevil . There she tries unsuccessfully to find a new career for herself as a fashion designer . Eventually , her relationship with Murdock stagnates , and after briefly working with Avengers finally breaks up with Murdock , fearing that playing `` sidekick '' is sublimating her identity . During a HYDRA attempt to take over S.H.I.E.L.D. , she is tortured to such an extent that she regresses back to an old cover identity of schoolteacher Nancy Rushman , but she is recovered by Spider - Man in time to help Nick Fury and Shang - Chi work out what had happened and restore her memory , with `` Nancy '' developing an attraction to Spider - Man before her memory is restored during the final fight against Madam Viper , Boomerang and the Silver Samurai . She later returns to Matt Murdock 's life to find he is romantically involved with another woman , Heather Glenn , prompting her to leave New York . Natasha ultimately realizes that Matt still only thinks of her in platonic terms , and elects to restrain herself from any advances . The Champions ( edit ) After their breakup , the Widow moves to Los Angeles and becomes leader of the newly created and short - lived super team known as The Champions , consisting of her , Ghost Rider ( Johnny Blaze ) , Hercules ( with whom she has a brief romance ) , and former X-Men Angel and Iceman . Her friends often call her `` Natasha '' , the informal version of `` Natalia '' . She has sometimes chosen the last - name alias `` Romanoff '' -- evidently as a private joke on those who are not aware that Russian family names use different endings for males and females . She has been hinted to be a descendant of the deposed House of Romanov and a relation to Nicholas II of Russia . 21st century ( edit ) This article 's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed . Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( January 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Natasha crosses Daredevil 's ( Matt Murdock ) path again when he attempts to slay an infant he believes to be the Anti-Christ while under the influence of mind - altering drugs . After Daredevil 's one - time love , Karen Page , dies protecting the child , Natasha reconciles with Murdock , revealing she still loves him , but noting that he is too full of anger to commit to a relationship with her . Natasha is challenged by Yelena Belova , a graduate from the training program through which Natasha herself was taught the espionage trade , who is the first to ever surpass Natasha 's marks and considers herself the rightful successor to the `` Black Widow '' mantle . Natasha refers to her as `` little one '' and `` rooskaya ( meaning `` Russian '' ) , and encourages her to discover her individuality rather than live in blind service , asking her `` why be Black Widow , when you can be Yelena Belova ? '' After several confrontations , Natasha subjects Yelena to intense psychological manipulation and suffering in order to teach her the reality of the espionage business , and an angry but disillusioned Yelena eventually returns home and temporarily quits being a spy . Although Matt Murdock is appalled by the cruelty of Natasha 's treatment of Yelena , Nick Fury describes the action as Natasha 's attempt at saving Yelena 's life . After bringing the Avengers and the Thunderbolts together to overcome Count Nefaria , Natasha supported Daredevil 's short - lived efforts to form a new super-team to capture the Punisher , originally believed to be Nick Fury 's murderer . Despite recruitment endeavors , however , this vigilante group folded shortly after she and her teammate Dagger fought an army of renegade S.H.I.E.L.D. androids ; ironically , she soon afterward worked with both Daredevil and Punisher against the European crime syndicate managed by the Brothers Grace . Months later , her pursuit of war criminal Anatoly Krylenko led to a clash with Hawkeye , whose pessimism regarding heroic activities now rivaled her own . Shortly after the Scarlet Witch 's insanity seemingly killed Hawkeye , and again disbanded the Avengers , Natasha , weary of espionage and adventure , travelled to Arizona but was targeted . Natasha discovers that other women had been trained in the Black Widow Program , and all are now being hunted down and killed by the North Institute on behalf of the corporation Gynacon . Natasha 's investigations led her back to Russia , where she was appalled to learn the previously unimagined extent of her past manipulation , and she discovered the Widows were being hunted because Gynacon , having purchased Russian biotechnology from Red Room 's successor agency 2R , wanted all prior users of the technology dead . Natasha finds and kills the mastermind of the Black Widow murders : Ian McMasters , Gynacon 's aging CEO , who intended to use part of their genetic structure to create a new chemical weapon . After killing McMasters , she clashed with operatives of multiple governments to help Sally Anne Carter , a girl Natasha had befriended in her investigations , whom she rescued with help from Daredevil and Yelena Belova . She soon returned the favor for Daredevil by reluctantly working with Elektra Natchios to protect his new wife , Milla Donovan , from the FBI and others , although Yelena proved beyond help when she agreed to be transformed into the new Super-Adaptoid by A.I.M. and HYDRA . Civil War / initiative ( edit ) This article 's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed . Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( January 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) During the Superhero Civil War , Natasha becomes a supporter of the Superhuman Registration Act and a member of the taskforce led by Iron Man . Afterward , the registered Natasha joins the reconstituted Avengers . S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury is presumed killed , and deputy director Maria Hill incapacitated , so Natasha assumes temporary command of S.H.I.E.L.D. as the highest - ranking agent present . Later , Tony Stark assigns Natasha to convey the late Captain America 's shield to a secure location , but is intercepted by her former lover , Bucky Barnes , the Winter Soldier , who steals the shield . Natasha and the Falcon then rescue Barnes from the Red Skull 's minions , and bring him to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier , where Stark convinces Bucky to become the new Captain America . Afterward , Natasha accompanies Bucky as his partner for a brief time until she is called back by S.H.I.E.L.D. She later rejoins him and Falcon for the final confrontation with the Red Skull , helping to rescue Sharon Carter . She and Bucky have restarted their relationship . She later plays an important role in the capture of Hercules . However , due to her respect of the Greek god , she let him go . Soon Natasha , along with the rest of the Avengers , gets involved in the current Skrull invasion . Afterwards , she stayed as Bucky 's partner . She also assists former director Maria Hill in delivering a special form of data to Bucky . Thunderbolts ( edit ) This article 's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed . Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( January 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Norman Osborn discovered Yelena Belova breaking into an abandoned S.H.I.E.L.D. facility , and offered her the position of field leader of the new Thunderbolts . On her first mission , she and Ant - Man take control of Air Force One with the Goblin , Doc Samson , and the new President aboard . It was suggested she faked her apparent death ( as the Adaptoid ) but it is never explained how . A conversation with the Ghost implies that Yelena is working as a mole for someone else and that she may even be someone else disguised as Yelena . She is later seen talking privately through a comm - link to Nick Fury . Osborn orders Yelena to lead the current Thunderbolts to kill former Thunderbolt , Songbird . Fury orders `` Yelena '' to rescue and retrieve Songbird , for the information she might possess about Osborn and his operations . Yelena finds Songbird , and reveals to her that she was really Natasha Romanova in disguise . She tries delivering Songbird to Fury , but the Thunderbolts have also followed them . The trio are captured as Osborn reveals he had been impersonating Fury in messages all along to set Natasha up in order to strengthen the Thunderbolts and lead him to Fury . She and Songbird are brought to be executed but manage to escape when Ant - Man , Headsmen and Paladin turn on the rest of the Thunderbolts and let them go . Heroic Age ( edit ) At the start of the Heroic Age , Natasha is recruited by Steve Rogers into a new black - ops wing of the Avengers , dubbed the Secret Avengers . She travels to Dubai with her new teammate , Valkyrie , where they steal a dangerous artifact which the Beast then studies , noting that it seems like a distant cousin of the Serpent Crown . In the story `` Coppelia '' , she encounters a teenage clone of herself , code named `` Tiny Dancer '' , whom she rescues from an arms dealer . Fear Itself ( edit ) During the Fear Itself storyline , Black Widow and Peregrine are sent on a mission to free hostages being held in a Marseille cathedral by Rapido . He and a group of mercenaries are trying to exploit the panic over the events in Paris to steal France 's nuclear arsenal . Ends of the Earth ( edit ) During the Ends of the Earth storyline , involving one of Doctor Octopus ' schemes , Natasha is one of only three heroes left standing after the Sinister Six defeat the Avengers , joining Silver Sable and Spider - Man to track the Six ( albeit because she was closest to Sable 's cloaked ship after the Avengers were defeated rather than for her prowess ) . She is later contacted by the Titanium Man to warn her and her allies about Doctor Octopus ' attempt to rally other villains against Spider - Man . She is knocked out along with Hawkeye by Iron Man during a battle against the Avengers when they were temporarily under Octavius ' remote control . Secret Wars ( edit ) This article 's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed . Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( January 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) During the incursion event between Earth - 616 and Earth - 1610 , Natasha is involved in the final battle between the Marvel Universe 's superheroes and the Ultimate Universe 's Children of Tomorrow . She pilots a ship holding a handpicked few to restart humanity after the universe ends , copiloted by Jessica Drew . Her ship is shot down during the battle though , and she is killed in the ensuing explosion . As the evacuation of Earth - 616 begins in light of the fact that Earth - 1610 is about to come crashing down as part of the `` Last Days '' storyline , Black Widow is seen standing atop a building with Captain America who gives her a list of people to save and bring aboard the lifeboat . As she tells Sam she ca n't save them all , Sam explains it 's Natasha 's job to assist in the effort to save as many people as possible before Earth as they know it is destroyed . As she leaves , her mind transitions to Cold War Russia , where a young Natasha ( here called Natalia ) speaks with two Russian functionaries in the infamous `` Red Room '' . She is given her first mission : travel to Cuba and locate a family called the Comienzas , who are at risk from Raúl Castro 's regime and who may have information of vital importance to Russia . She is told to rendezvous with another agent , her classmate Marina , and befriend the family under the guise of a Russian businesswoman . Natasha assures them of her competency and leaves . When one of the officers questions her youth , the other assures him , `` she 's a killer . She will not disappoint . '' Natasha meets Marina in Cuba and the two friends catch up before meeting with the Comienzas that night at a local bar . Using her talent for deception , she casually and politely convinces the husband and wife that she 's seeking inside information to help her import various goods into the country . The Comienzas explain they ca n't reveal said information , prompting Natasha to later explain to Marina that the family might need `` a little push '' . Not too soon she effectively began terrorizing the family into desperation . First , she plants an American flag on their doorstep to mimic someone accusing them of defecting to the United States . Later after meeting with one of the Russian officers from the Red Room to report her progress , she detonated a car bomb outside their home when the first attempt did n't make them `` nearly desperate enough '' . Following the car bomb explosion , Natasha declares the family is indeed desperate enough to reproach for information . Before letting Natasha go , the officer announces she has one additional task before her mission is over : Marina has become too much enamored with her civilian guise , and is now a security risk . Natasha will have to eliminate her . Flipping to the present , Black Widow is saving as many people as she can , but she quickly flashback to Havana . Natasha and her then Red Room partner Marina are trying to help a family defect . Natasha 's orders are simple : Kill the parents and make it public . When Natasha asks if she should kill the child too , her boss looks horrified that she would be so OK with that and tells her no . Having no problem following orders she sets up a meet and using a sniper rifle she takes out the pair without blinking . Next she shoots Marina 's boyfriend then Marina herself . Next she shoots Marina 's cat . Flipping back to the present , Black Widow is back saving people from the incursion as the reason that triggered Natasha 's flashback is revealed ... a man she saved is holding his cat . This dark , heartless side of the Black Widow shows why she is trying so hard to do good today . Secret Empire ( edit ) This article 's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed . Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise .

While Hawkeye assembles a strike force of Hercules and Quicksilver to find the Cosmic Cube fragments , Black Widow sets off to kill Rogers herself reasoning that even if Rick 's theory is true , the man Rogers was would prefer to die than be used in this manner . She finds herself followed by the Champions as she establishes her version of the Red Room . While preparing to shoot Captain America with a sniper rifle , she rushes to prevent Miles Morales from killing him as predicted by Ulysses , and is struck by his shield , breaking her neck and killing her .

It was later discovered that Black Widow was actually cloned by the Black Widow Ops Program following her death . It 's member Ursa Major bribed Epsilon Red to let him add her current memories while secretly disposing of the bad programming .

To keep them from interfering , the Black Widow clone locked Winter Soldier and Hawkeye in a safe room within the Red Room . The Black Widow clone rose to the ranks of the Red Room while secretly persuading the recruits to turn against their masters . When Winter Soldier and Hawkeye arrived at the Red Room , the Black Widow clone dropped her cover where she began to kill her superiors , liberate the recruits , and destroy all the clones and Epsilon Red .

She usually wears distinctively shaped bracelets which fire the Widow 's Bite electro - static energy blasts that can deliver charges up to 30,000 volts , as well as `` Widow 's Line '' grappling hooks , tear gas pellets , and a new element introduced during her ongoing series during the `` Kiss or Kill '' arc called the `` Widow 's Kiss '' -- an aerosol instant knock - out gas she has modified . She wears a belt of metallic discs ; some are disc - charges containing plastic explosives , while others have been shown to be compartments for housing other equipment . Her costume consists of synthetic stretch fabric equipped with micro-suction cups on fingers and feet , enabling her to adhere to walls and ceilings . In the 2006 `` Homecoming '' mini-series , she was seen using knives , unarmed combat , and various firearms , but she has since begun using her bracelets again .

Italian Renaissance painting
Italian Renaissance painting - wikipedia Italian Renaissance painting Jump to : navigation , search Raphael , The Betrothal of the Virgin Giovanni Bellini , The San Zaccaria Altarpiece Italian Renaissance painting is the painting of the period beginning in the late 13th century and flourishing from the early 15th to late 16th centuries , occurring in the Italian peninsula , which was at that time divided into many political areas . The painters of Renaissance Italy , although often attached to particular courts and with loyalties to particular towns , nonetheless wandered the length and breadth of Italy , often occupying a diplomatic status and disseminating artistic and philosophical ideas . The city of Florence in Tuscany is renowned as the birthplace of the Renaissance , and in particular of Renaissance painting . A detailed background is given in the companion articles Renaissance and Renaissance architecture . Italian Renaissance painting can be divided into four periods : the Proto - Renaissance ( 1300 -- 1400 ) , the Early Renaissance ( 1400 -- 1475 ) , the High Renaissance ( 1475 -- 1525 ) , and Mannerism ( 1525 -- 1600 ) . These dates are approximations rather than specific points because the lives of individual artists and their personal styles overlapped the different periods . The Proto - Renaissance begins with the professional life of the painter Giotto and includes Taddeo Gaddi , Orcagna and Altichiero . The Early Renaissance was marked by the work of Masaccio , Fra Angelico , Paolo Uccello , Piero della Francesca and Verrocchio . The High Renaissance period was that of Leonardo da Vinci , Michelangelo , Raphael and Titian . The Mannerist period included Andrea del Sarto , Pontormo and Tintoretto . Mannerism is dealt with in a separate article .

Main article : Renaissance Main article : Renaissance architecture The influences upon the development of Renaissance painting in Italy are those that also affected Philosophy , Literature , Architecture , Theology , Science , Government and other aspects of society . The following is a summary of points dealt with more fully in the main articles that are cited above . Philosophy ( edit ) A number of Classical texts , that had been lost to Western European scholars for centuries , became available . These included Philosophy , Poetry , Drama , Science , a thesis on the Arts and Early Christian Theology . The resulting interest in Humanist philosophy meant that man 's relationship with humanity , the universe and with God was no longer the exclusive province of the Church . A revived interest in the Classics brought about the first archaeological study of Roman remains by the architect Brunelleschi and sculptor Donatello . The revival of a style of architecture based on classical precedents inspired a corresponding classicism in painting , which manifested itself as early as the 1420s in the paintings of Masaccio and Paolo Uccello . Science and technology ( edit ) Simultaneous with gaining access to the Classical texts , Europe gained access to advanced mathematics which had its provenance in the works of Byzantine and Islamic scholars . The advent of movable type printing in the 15th century meant that ideas could be disseminated easily , and an increasing number of books were written for a broad public . The development of oil paint and its introduction to Italy had lasting effects on the art of painting . Society ( edit ) The establishment of the Medici Bank and the subsequent trade it generated brought unprecedented wealth to a single Italian city , Florence . Cosimo de ' Medici set a new standard for patronage of the arts , not associated with the church or monarchy . The serendipitous presence within the region of Florence of certain individuals of artistic genius , most notably Giotto , Masaccio , Brunelleschi , Piero della Francesca , Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo , formed an ethos that supported and encouraged many lesser artists to achieve work of extraordinary quality . A similar heritage of artistic achievement occurred in Venice through the talented Bellini family , their influential inlaw Mantegna , Giorgione , Titian and Tintoretto . Themes ( edit ) See also : Themes in Italian Renaissance painting Paolo Uccello , The Battle of San Romano , demonstrates the preoccupation with the development of linear perspective , in a secular subject Sandro Botticelli , Primavera , showing a Classical allegory for a private patron Much painting of the Renaissance period was commissioned by or for the Catholic Church . These works were often of large scale and were frequently cycles painted in fresco of the Life of Christ , the Life of the Virgin or the life of a saint , particularly St. Francis of Assisi . There were also many allegorical paintings on the theme of Salvation and the role of the Church in attaining it . Churches also commissioned altarpieces , which were painted in tempera on panel and later in oil on canvas . Apart from large altarpieces , small devotional pictures were produced in very large numbers , both for churches and for private individuals , the most common theme being the Madonna and Child . Throughout the period , civic commissions were also important . Local government buildings were decorated with frescoes and other works both secular , such as Ambrogio Lorenzetti 's The Allegory of Good and Bad Government , and religious , such as Simone Martini 's fresco of the Maestà , in the Palazzo Pubblico , Siena . Portraiture was uncommon in the 14th and early 15th centuries , mostly limited to civic commemorative pictures such as the equestrian portraits of Guidoriccio da Fogliano by Simone Martini , 1327 , in Siena and , of the early 15th century , John Hawkwood by Uccello in Florence Cathedral and its companion portraying Niccolò da Tolentino by Andrea del Castagno . During the 15th century portraiture became common , initially often formalised profile portraits but increasingly three - quarter face , bust - length portraits . Patrons of art works such as altarpieces and fresco cycles often were included in the scenes , a notable example being the inclusion of the Sassetti and Medici families in Domenico Ghirlandaio 's cycle in the Sassetti Chapel . Portraiture was to become a major subject for High Renaissance painters such as Raphael and Titian and continue into the Mannerist period in works of artists such as Bronzino . With the growth of Humanism , artists turned to Classical themes , particularly to fulfill commissions for the decoration of the homes of wealthy patrons , the best known being Botticelli 's Birth of Venus for the Medici . Increasingly , Classical themes were also seen as providing suitable allegorical material for civic commissions . Humanism also influenced the manner in which religious themes were depicted , notably on Michelangelo 's Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel . Other motifs were drawn from contemporary life , sometimes with allegorical meaning , some sometimes purely decorative . Incidents important to a particular family might be recorded like those in the Camera degli Sposi that Mantegna painted for the Gonzaga family at Mantua . Increasingly , still lifes and decorative scenes from life were painted , such as the Concert by Lorenzo Costa of about 1490 . Important events were often recorded or commemorated in paintings such as Uccello 's Battle of San Romano , as were important local religious festivals . History and historic characters were often depicted in a way that reflected on current events or on the lives of current people . Portraits were often painted of contemporaries in the guise of characters from history or literature . The writings of Dante , Voragine 's Golden Legend and Boccaccio 's Decameron were important sources of themes . In all these subjects , increasingly , and in the works of almost all painters , certain underlying painterly practices were being developed : the observation of nature , the study of anatomy , of light , and perspective . Proto - Renaissance painting ( edit ) Duccio di Buoninsegna : Madonna and Child c. 1280 National Gallery , London , is Byzantine in style . Traditions of 13th - century Tuscan painting ( edit ) The art of the region of Tuscany in the late 13th century was dominated by two masters of the Byzantine style , Cimabue of Florence and Duccio of Siena . Their commissions were mostly religious paintings , several of them being very large altarpieces showing the Madonna and Child . These two painters , with their contemporaries , Guido of Siena , Coppo di Marcovaldo and the mysterious painter upon whose style the school may have been based , the so - called Master of St Bernardino , all worked in a manner that was highly formalised and dependent upon the ancient tradition of icon painting . In these tempera paintings many of the details were rigidly fixed by the subject matter , the precise position of the hands of the Madonna and Christ Child , for example , being dictated by the nature of the blessing that the painting invoked upon the viewer . The angle of the Virgin 's head and shoulders , the folds in her veil , and the lines with which her features were defined had all been repeated in countless such paintings . Cimabue and Duccio took steps in the direction of greater naturalism , as did their contemporary , Pietro Cavallini of Rome . Giotto ( edit ) Giotto : The Lamentation , c. 1305 , Scrovegni Chapel , foreshadows the Renaissance . Giotto , ( 1266 -- 1337 ) , by tradition a shepherd boy from the hills north of Florence , became Cimabue 's apprentice and emerged as the most outstanding painter of his time . Giotto , possibly influenced by Pietro Cavallini and other Roman painters , did not base the figures he painted upon any painterly tradition , but upon the observation of life . Unlike those of his Byzantine contemporaries , Giotto 's figures are solidly three - dimensional ; they stand squarely on the ground , have discernible anatomy and are clothed in garments with weight and structure . But more than anything , what set Giotto 's figures apart from those of his contemporaries are their emotions . In the faces of Giotto 's figures are joy , rage , despair , shame , spite and love . The cycle of frescoes of the Life of Christ and the Life of the Virgin that he painted in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua set a new standard for narrative pictures . His Ognissanti Madonna hangs in the Uffizi Gallery , Florence , in the same room as Cimabue 's Santa Trinita Madonna and Duccio 's Ruccellai Madonna where the stylistic comparisons between the three can easily be made . One of the features apparent in Giotto 's work is his observation of naturalistic perspective . He is regarded as the herald of the Renaissance . Taddeo Gaddi : Annunciation to the Shepherds ( detail ) , Santa Croce Giotto 's contemporaries ( edit ) Giotto had a number of contemporaries who were either trained and influenced by him , or whose observation of nature had led them in a similar direction . Although several of Giotto 's pupils assimilated the direction that his work had taken , none was to become as successful as he . Taddeo Gaddi achieved the first large painting of a night scene in an Annunciation to the Shepherds in the Baroncelli Chapel of the Church of Santa Croce , Florence . The paintings in the Upper Church of the Basilica of St. Francis , Assisi , are examples of naturalistic painting of the period , often ascribed to Giotto himself , but more probably the work of artists surrounding Pietro Cavallini . A late painting by Cimabue in the Lower Church at Assisi , of the Madonna and St. Francis , also clearly shows greater naturalism than his panel paintings and the remains of his earlier frescoes in the upper church . Mortality and redemption ( edit ) Orcagna : The Triumph of Death ( detail ) , c. 1350 , Museum of Santa Croce A common theme in the decoration of Medieval churches was the Last Judgement , which in northern European churches frequently occupies a sculptural space above the west door , but in Italian churches such as Giotto 's Scrovegni Chapel , is painted on the inner west wall . The Black Death of 1348 caused its survivors to focus on the need to approach death in a state of penitence and absolution . The inevitability of death , the rewards for the penitent and the penalties of sin were emphasised in a number of frescoes , remarkable for their grim depictions of suffering and their surreal images of the torments of Hell . These include the Triumph of Death by Giotto 's pupil Orcagna , now in a fragmentary state at the Museum of Santa Croce , and the Triumph of Death in the Camposanto Monumentale at Pisa by an unknown painter , perhaps Francesco Traini or Buonamico Buffalmacco who worked on the other three of a series of frescoes on the subject of Salvation . It is unknown exactly when these frescoes were begun but it is generally presumed they post-date 1348 . Two important fresco painters were active in Padua in the late 14th century , Altichiero and Giusto de ' Menabuoi . Giusto 's masterpiece , the decoration of the Cathedral 's Baptistery , follows the theme of humanity 's Creation , Downfall and Salvation , also having a rare Apocalypse cycle in the small chancel . While the whole work is exceptional for its breadth , quality and intact state , the treatment of human emotion is conservative by comparison with that of Altichiero 's Crucifixion at the Basilica of Sant'Antonio , also in Padua . Giusto 's work relies on formalised gestures , where Altichiero relates the incidents surrounding Christ 's death with great human drama and intensity . Simone Martini : The Annunciation , 1333 , Uffizi , is International Gothic in style . In Florence , at the Spanish Chapel of Santa Maria Novella , Andrea Bonaiuti was commissioned to emphasise the role of the Church in the redemptive process , and that of the Dominican Order in particular . His fresco Allegory of the Active and Triumphant Church is remarkable for its depiction of Florence Cathedral , complete with the dome which was not built until the following century . International Gothic ( edit ) During the later 14th century , International Gothic was the style that dominated Tuscan painting . It can be seen to an extent in the work of Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti , which is marked by a formalized sweetness and grace in the figures , and Late Gothic gracefulness in the draperies . The style is fully developed in the works of Simone Martini and Gentile da Fabriano , which have an elegance and a richness of detail , and an idealised quality not compatible with the starker realities of Giotto 's paintings . In the early 15th century , bridging the gap between International Gothic and the Renaissance are the paintings of Fra Angelico , many of which , being altarpieces in tempera , show the Gothic love of elaboration , gold leaf and brilliant colour . It is in his frescoes at his convent of Sant ' Marco that Fra Angelico shows himself the artistic disciple of Giotto . These devotional paintings , which adorn the cells and corridors inhabited by the friars , represent episodes from the life of Jesus , many of them being scenes of the Crucifixion . They are starkly simple , restrained in colour and intense in mood as the artist sought to make spiritual revelations a visual reality . Early Renaissance painting ( edit ) Ghiberti : competition entry for the Baptistry Doors Ghiberti : The Gates of Paradise Florence , 1401 ( edit ) The earliest truly Renaissance images in Florence date from the first year of the century known in Italian as Quattrocento , synonymous with the Early Renaissance . At that date a competition was held to find an artist to create a pair of bronze doors for the Baptistry of St. John , the oldest remaining church in the city . The Baptistry is a large octagonal building in the Romanesque style , whose origins had been forgotten and which was popularly believed to date from Roman times . The interior of its dome is decorated with an enormous mosaic figure of Christ in Majesty thought to have been designed by Coppo di Marcovaldo . It has three large portals , the central one being filled at that time by a set of doors created by Andrea Pisano eighty years earlier . Pisano 's doors were divided into 28 quatrefoil compartments , containing narratives scenes from the Life of John the Baptist . The competitors , of which there were seven young artists , were each to design a bronze panel of similar shape and size , representing the Sacrifice of Isaac . Two of the panels have survived , that by Lorenzo Ghiberti and that by Brunelleschi . Each panel shows some strongly classicising motifs indicating the direction that art and philosophy were moving , at that time . Ghiberti has used the naked figure of Isaac to create a small sculpture in the Classical style . He kneels on a tomb decorated with acanthus scrolls that are also a reference to the art of Ancient Rome . In Brunelleschi 's panel , one of the additional figures included in the scene is reminiscent of a well - known Roman bronze figure of a boy pulling a thorn from his foot . Brunelleschi 's creation is challenging in its dynamic intensity . Less elegant than Ghiberti 's , it is more about human drama and impending tragedy . Ghiberti won the competition . His first set of Baptistry doors took 27 years to complete , after which he was commissioned to make another . In the total of 50 years that Ghiberti worked on them , the doors provided a training ground for many of the artists of Florence . Being narrative in subject and employing not only skill in arranging figurative compositions but also the burgeoning skill of linear perspective , the doors were to have an enormous influence on the development of Florentine pictorial art . They were a unifying factor , a source of pride and camaraderie for both the city and its artists . Michelangelo was to call them the Gates of Paradise . Masolino : Adam and Eve Masaccio : Adam and Eve Brancacci Chapel ( edit ) Main article : Brancacci Chapel In 1426 two artists commenced painting a fresco cycle of the Life of St. Peter in the chapel of the Brancacci family , at the Carmelite Church in Florence . They both were called by the name of Tommaso and were nicknamed Masaccio and Masolino , Slovenly Tom and Little Tom . More than any other artist , Masaccio recognized the implications in the work of Giotto . He carried forward the practice of painting from nature . His paintings demonstrate an understanding of anatomy , of foreshortening , of linear perspective , of light and the study of drapery . Among his works , the figures of Adam and Eve being expelled from Eden , painted on the side of the arch into the chapel , are renowned for their realistic depiction of the human form and of human emotion . They contrast with the gentle and pretty figures painted by Masolino on the opposite side of Adam and Eve receiving the forbidden fruit . The painting of the Brancacci Chapel was left incomplete when Masaccio died at 26 . The work was later finished by Filippino Lippi . Masaccio 's work became a source of inspiration to many later painters , including Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo . Development of linear perspective ( edit ) Paolo Uccello : The Presentation of the Virgin shows his experiments with perspective and light . During the first half of the 15th century , the achieving of the effect of realistic space in a painting by the employment of linear perspective was a major preoccupation of many painters , as well as the architects Brunelleschi and Alberti who both theorised about the subject . Brunelleschi is known to have done a number of careful studies of the piazza and octagonal baptistery outside Florence Cathedral and it is thought he aided Masaccio in the creation of his famous trompe l'oeil niche around the Holy Trinity he painted at Santa Maria Novella . According to Vasari , Paolo Uccello was so obsessed with perspective that he thought of little else and experimented with it in many paintings , the best known being the three Battle of San Romano pictures which use broken weapons on the ground , and fields on the distant hills to give an impression of perspective . In the 1450s Piero della Francesca , in paintings such as The Flagellation of Christ , demonstrated his mastery over linear perspective and also over the science of light . Another painting exists , a cityscape , by an unknown artist , perhaps Piero della Francesca , that demonstrates the sort of experiment that Brunelleschi had been making . From this time linear perspective was understood and regularly employed , such as by Perugino in his Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter in the Sistine Chapel . Piero della Francesca : The Flagellation demonstrates the artist 's control over both perspective and light . Understanding of light ( edit ) Giotto used tonality to create form . Taddeo Gaddi in his nocturnal scene in the Baroncelli Chapel demonstrated how light could be used to create drama . Paolo Uccello , a hundred years later , experimented with the dramatic effect of light in some of his almost monochrome frescoes . He did a number of these in terra verde or `` green earth '' , enlivening his compositions with touches of vermilion . The best known is his equestrian portrait of John Hawkwood on the wall of Florence Cathedral . Both here and on the four heads of prophets that he painted around the inner clockface in the cathedral , he used strongly contrasting tones , suggesting that each figure was being lit by a natural light source , as if the source was an actual window in the cathedral . Piero della Francesca carried his study of light further . In the Flagellation he demonstrates a knowledge of how light is proportionally disseminated from its point of origin . There are two sources of light in this painting , one internal to a building and the other external . Of the internal source , though the light itself is invisible , its position can be calculated with mathematical certainty . Leonardo da Vinci was to carry forward Piero 's work on light . The Madonna ( edit ) Andrea and Giovanni della Robbia : Madonna and Child Filippo Lippi : Madonna and Child , 1459 The Blessed Virgin Mary , revered by the Catholic Church worldwide , was particularly evoked in Florence , where there was a miraculous image of her on a column in the corn market and where both the Cathedral of `` Our Lady of the Flowers '' and the large Dominican church of Santa Maria Novella were named in her honour . The miraculous image in the corn market was destroyed by fire , but replaced with a new image in the 1330s by Bernardo Daddi , set in an elaborately designed and lavishly wrought canopy by Orcagna . The open lower storey of the building was enclosed and dedicated as Orsanmichele . Depictions of the Madonna and Child were a very popular art form in Florence . They took every shape from small mass - produced terracotta plaques to magnificent altarpieces such as those by Cimabue , Giotto and Masaccio . In the 15th and first half of the 16th centuries , one workshop more than any other dominated the production of Madonnas . They were the della Robbia family , and they were not painters but modellers in clay . Luca della Robbia , famous for his cantoria gallery at the cathedral , was the first sculptor to use glazed terracotta for large sculptures . Many of the durable works of this family have survived . The skill of the della Robbias , particularly Andrea della Robbia , was to give great naturalism to the babies that they modelled as Jesus , and expressions of great piety and sweetness to the Madonna . They were to set a standard to be emulated by other artists of Florence . Among those who painted devotional Madonnas during the Early Renaissance are Fra Angelico , Fra Filippo Lippi , Verrocchio and Davide Ghirlandaio . The custom was continued by Botticelli who produced a series of Madonnas over a period of twenty years for the Medici ; Perugino , whose Madonnas and saints are known for their sweetness and Leonardo da Vinci , for whom a number of small attributed Madonnas such as the Benois Madonna have survived . Even Michelangelo who was primarily a sculptor , was persuaded to paint the Doni Tondo , while for Raphael , they are among his most popular and numerous works . Early Renaissance painting in other parts of Italy ( edit ) Mantegna : The Gonzaga family ( detail ) Andrea Mantegna in Padua and Mantua ( edit ) One of the most influential painters of northern Italy was Andrea Mantegna of Padua , who had the good fortune to be in his teen years at the time in which the great Florentine sculptor Donatello was working there . Donatello created the enormous equestrian bronze , the first since the Roman Empire , of the condotiero Gattemelata , still visible on its plinth in the square outside the Basilica of Sant'Antonio . He also worked on the high altar and created a series of bronze panels in which he achieved a remarkable illusion of depth , with perspective in the architectural settings and apparent roundness of the human form all in very shallow relief . At only 17 years old , Mantegna accepted his first commission , fresco cycles of the Lives of Saints James and Christopher for the Eremitani Chapel , near the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua . Unfortunately the building was mostly destroyed during World War II , and they are only known from photographs which reveal an already highly developed sense of perspective and a knowledge of antiquity , for which the ancient University of Padua had become well known , early in the 15th century . Mantegna 's last work in Padua was a monumental San Zeno altarpiece , created for the abbot of the Basilica of San Zeno , Verona from 1457 to 1459 . This polyptych of which the predella panels are particularly notable for the handling of landscape elements , was to influence the further development of Renaissance art in Northern Italy including artists of the school of Verona , Francesco Morone , Liberale da Verona and Girolamo dai Libri . Mantegna 's most famous work is the interior decoration of the Camera degli Sposi for the Gonzaga family in Mantua , dated about 1470 . The walls are frescoed with scenes of the life of the Gonzaga family , talking , greeting a younger son and his tutor on their return from Rome , preparing for a hunt and other such scenes that make no obvious reference to matters historic , literary , philosophic or religious . They are remarkable for simply being about family life . The one concession is the scattering of jolly winged cherubs who hold up plaques and garlands and clamber on the illusionistic pierced balustrade that surrounds a trompe l'oeil view of the sky that decks the ceiling of the chamber . Cosmè Tura in Ferrara ( edit ) While Mantegna was working for the Gonzagas in Mantua , a very different painter was being employed to design an even more ambitious scheme for the Este family of Ferrara . Cosmè Tura 's painting is highly distinctive , both strangely Gothic yet Classicising at the same time . Tura poses Classical figures as if they were saints , surrounds them with luminous symbolic motifs of surreal perfection and clothes them in garments that appear to be crafted out of intricately folded and enamelled copper . Francesco del Cossa : The Triumph of Venus for the d'Este family Borso d'Este 's family had constructed a large banquetting hall and suite known as the Palazzo Schifanoia . Borso , according to Tura 's personal records , employed him in 1470 to design the decorative scheme for the banquetting hall , to be executed by Francesco del Cossa and Ercole de ' Roberti . The scheme is both symbolically complex and elaborate in execution . The overriding theme is the Cycle of the Year as represented by the signs of the zodiac accompanied by the mysterious Deans each ruling ten days of the month . Above them , seated in a spectacular array of chariots drawn by lions , eagles , unicorns and other such beasts , are twelve Roman deities with their various attributes . In the lower tiers , as in the Camera degli Sposi , are shown the life of the family . For the month of March , for example , the figure of Minerva , Goddess of Wisdom , is represented and in the panel beneath Borso d'Este is administering justice , while in the distance workers are pruning vines . Although areas of the frescoes are very badly damaged to the extent that the subject can no longer be identified , and although there are several different hands apparent in the works , there appears to be a consistency in the design of every remaining scene that shows the overriding eccentric style of Cosmè Tura . Antonello da Messina : St Jerome in his study Gentile Bellini : Madonna and Child Enthroned Antonello da Messina ( edit ) In 1442 Alfonso V of Aragon became ruler of Naples , bringing with him a collection of Flemish paintings and setting up a Humanist Academy . The painter Antonello da Messina seems to have had access to the King 's collection , which may have included the works of Jan van Eyck . He seems to have been exposed to Flemish painting at a date earlier than the Florentines , to have quickly seen the potential of oils as a medium and then painted in nothing else . He carried the technique north to Venice with him , where it was soon adopted by Giovanni Bellini and became the favoured medium of the maritime republic where the art of fresco had never been a great success . Antonello da Messina painted mostly small meticulous portraits in glowing colours . But one of his most famous works also demonstrates his superior ability at handling linear perspective and light . This is the small painting of St. Jerome in His Study , in which the composition is framed by a late Gothic arch , through which is viewed an interior , domestic on one side and ecclesiastic on the other , in the centre of which the saint sits in a wooden corral surrounded by his possessions while his lion prowls in the shadows on the tiled floor . The way the light streams in through every door and window casting both natural light and reflected light across the architecture and all the objects would have excited Piero della Francesca . Antonello 's work influenced both Gentile Bellini , who did a series of paintings of Miracles of Venice for the Scuola di Santa Croce , and his more famous brother , Giovanni , one of the most significant painters of the High Renaissance in Northern Italy . High Renaissance ( edit ) Patronage and Humanism ( edit ) Botticelli : The Birth of Venus for the Medici In Florence , in the later 15th century , most works of art , even those that were done as decoration for churches , were generally commissioned and paid for by private patrons . Much of the patronage came from the Medici family , or those who were closely associated with or related to them , such as the Sassetti , the Ruccellai and the Tornabuoni . In the 1460s Cosimo de ' Medici the Elder had established Marsilio Ficino as his resident Humanist philosopher , and facilitated his translation of Plato and his teaching of Platonic philosophy , which focused on humanity as the centre of the natural universe , on each person 's personal relationship with God , and on fraternal or `` platonic '' love as being the closest that a person could get to emulating or understanding the love of God . In the Medieval period , everything related to the Classical period was perceived as associated with paganism . In the Renaissance it came increasingly to be associated with enlightenment . The figures of Classical mythology began to take on a new symbolic role in Christian art and in particular , the Goddess Venus took on a new discretion . Born fully formed , by a sort of miracle , she was the new Eve , symbol of innocent love , or even , by extension , a symbol of the Virgin Mary herself . We see Venus in both these roles in the two famous tempera paintings that Botticelli did in the 1480s for Cosimo 's nephew , Pierfrancesco Medici , the Primavera and the Birth of Venus . Meanwhile , Domenico Ghirlandaio , a meticulous and accurate draughtsman and one of the finest portrait painters of his age , executed two cycles of frescoes for Medici associates in two of Florence 's larger churches , the Sassetti Chapel at Santa Trinita and the Tornabuoni Chapel at Santa Maria Novella . In these cycles of the Life of St Francis and the Life of the Virgin Mary and Life of John the Baptist there was room for portraits of patrons and of the patrons ' patrons . Thanks to Sassetti 's patronage , there is a portrait of the man himself , with his employer , Lorenzo il Magnifico , and Lorenzo 's three sons with their tutor , the Humanist poet and philosopher , Agnolo Poliziano . In the Tornabuoni Chapel is another portrait of Poliziano , accompanied by the other influential members of the Platonic Academy including Marsilio Ficino . Hugo van der Goes : The Portinari Altarpiece Ghirlandaio : The Sassetti Altarpiece Flemish influence ( edit ) From about 1450 , with the arrival in Italy of the Flemish painter Rogier van der Weyden and possibly earlier , artists were introduced to the medium of oil paint . Whereas both tempera and fresco lent themselves to the depiction of pattern , neither presented a successful way to represent natural textures realistically . The highly flexibly medium of oils , which could be made opaque or transparent , and allowed alteration and additions for days after it had been laid down , opened a new world of possibility to Italian artists . In 1475 a huge altarpiece of the Adoration of the Shepherds arrived in Florence . Painted by Hugo van der Goes at the behest of the Portinari family , it was shipped out from Bruges and installed in the Chapel of Sant ' Egidio at the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova . The altarpiece glows with intense reds and greens , contrasting with the glossy black velvet robes of the Portinari donors . In the foreground is a still life of flowers in contrasting containers , one of glazed pottery and the other of glass . The glass vase alone was enough to excite attention . But the most influential aspect of the triptych was the extremely natural and lifelike quality of the three shepherds with stubbly beards , workworn hands and expressions ranging from adoration to wonder to incomprehension . Domenico Ghirlandaio promptly painted his own version , with a beautiful Italian Madonna in place of the long - faced Flemish one , and himself , gesturing theatrically , as one of the shepherds . Papal commission ( edit ) In 1477 Pope Sixtus IV replaced the derelict old chapel at the Vatican in which many of the papal services were held . The interior of the new chapel , named the Sistine Chapel in his honour , appears to have been planned from the start to have a series of 16 large frescoes between its pilasters on the middle level , with a series of painted portraits of popes above them . In 1480 , a group of artists from Florence was commissioned with the work : Botticelli , Pietro Perugino , Domenico Ghirlandaio and Cosimo Rosselli . This fresco cycle was to depict Stories of the Life of Moses on one side of the chapel , and Stories of the Life of Christ on the other with the frescoes complementing each other in theme . The Nativity of Jesus and the Finding of Moses were adjacent on the wall behind the altar , with an altarpiece of the Assumption of the Virgin between them . These paintings , all by Perugino , were later destroyed to paint Michelangelo 's Last Judgement . Perugino : Christ Giving the Keys to Peter The remaining 12 pictures indicate the virtuosity that these artists had attained , and the obvious cooperation between individuals who normally employed very different styles and skills . The paintings gave full range to their capabilities as they included a great number of figures of men , women and children and characters ranging from guiding angels to enraged Pharaohs and the devil himself . Each painting required a landscape . Because of the scale of the figures that the artists agreed upon , in each picture , the landscape and sky take up the whole upper half of the scene . Sometimes , as in Botticelli 's scene of The Purification of the Leper , there are additional small narratives taking place in the landscape , in this case The Temptations of Christ . Perugino 's scene of Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter is remarkable for the clarity and simplicity of its composition , the beauty of the figurative painting , which includes a self - portrait among the onlookers , and especially the perspective cityscape which includes reference to Peter 's ministry to Rome by the presence of two triumphal arches , and centrally placed an octagonal building that might be a Christian baptistry or a Roman Mausoleum . Leonardo da Vinci ( edit ) Leonardo , because of the scope of his interests and the extraordinary degree of talent that he demonstrated in so many diverse areas , is regarded as the archetypal `` Renaissance man '' . But it was first and foremost as a painter that he was admired within his own time , and as a painter , he drew on the knowledge that he gained from all his other interests . Leonardo da Vinci : The Last Supper Leonardo was a scientific observer . He learned by looking at things . He studied and drew the flowers of the fields , the eddies of the river , the form of the rocks and mountains , the way light reflected from foliage and sparkled in a jewel . In particular , he studied the human form , dissecting thirty or more unclaimed cadavers from a hospital in order to understand muscles and sinews . More than any other artist , he advanced the study of `` atmosphere '' . In his paintings such as the Mona Lisa and Virgin of the Rocks , he used light and shade with such subtlety that , for want of a better word , it became known as Leonardo 's `` sfumato '' or `` smoke '' . Simultaneous to inviting the viewer into a mysterious world of shifting shadows , chaotic mountains and whirling torrents , Leonardo achieved a degree of realism in the expression of human emotion , prefigured by Giotto but unknown since Masaccio 's Adam and Eve . Leonardo 's Last Supper , painted in the refectory of a monastery in Milan , became the benchmark for religious narrative painting for the next half millennium . Many other Renaissance artists painted versions of the Last Supper , but only Leonardo 's was destined to be reproduced countless times in wood , alabaster , plaster , lithograph , tapestry , crochet and table - carpets . Apart from the direct impact of the works themselves , Leonardo 's studies of light , anatomy , landscape , and human expression were disseminated in part through his generosity to a retinue of students . Michelangelo ( edit ) Michelangelo : The Creation of Adam In 1508 Pope Julius II succeeded in getting the sculptor Michelangelo to agree to continue the decorative scheme of the Sistine Chapel . The Sistine Chapel ceiling was constructed in such a way that there were twelve sloping pendentives supporting the vault that formed ideal surfaces on which to paint the Twelve Apostles . Michelangelo , who had yielded to the Pope 's demands with little grace , soon devised an entirely different scheme , far more complex both in design and in iconography . The scale of the work , which he executed single handed except for manual assistance , was titanic and took nearly five years to complete . The Pope 's plan for the Apostles would thematically have formed a pictorial link between the Old Testament and New Testament narratives on the walls , and the popes in the gallery of portraits . It is the twelve apostles , and their leader Peter as first Bishop of Rome , that make that bridge . But Michelangelo 's scheme went the opposite direction . The theme of Michelangelo 's ceiling is not God 's grand plan for humanity 's salvation . The theme is about humanity 's disgrace . It is about why humanity and the faith needed Jesus . Superficially , the ceiling is a Humanist construction . The figures are of superhuman dimension and , in the case of Adam , of such beauty that according to the biographer Vasari , it really looks as if God himself had designed the figure , rather than Michelangelo . But despite the beauty of the individual figures , Michelangelo has not glorified the human state , and he certainly has not presented the Humanist ideal of platonic love . In fact , the ancestors of Christ , which he painted around the upper section of the wall , demonstrate all the worst aspects of family relationships , displaying dysfunction in as many different forms as there are families . Vasari praised Michelangelo 's seemingly infinite powers of invention in creating postures for the figures . Raphael , who was given a preview by Bramante after Michelangelo had downed his brush and stormed off to Bologna in a temper , painted at least two figures in imitation of Michelangelo 's prophets , one at the church of Sant ' Agostino and the other in the Vatican , his portrait of Michelangelo himself in The School of Athens . Raphael ( edit ) With Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo , Raphael 's name is synonymous with the High Renaissance , although he was younger than Michelangelo by 18 years and Leonardo by almost 30 . It can not be said of him that he greatly advanced the state of painting as his two famous contemporaries did . Rather , his work was the culmination of all the developments of the High Renaissance . Raphael : The School of Athens , commissioned by Pope Julius II to decorate a suite now known as the Raphael Rooms in the Vatican Raphael had the good luck to be born the son of a painter , so his career path , unlike that of Michelangelo who was the son of minor nobility , was decided without a quarrel . Some years after his father 's death he worked in the Umbrian workshop of Perugino , an excellent painter and a superb technician . His first signed and dated painting , executed at the age of 21 , is the Betrothal of the Virgin , which immediately reveals its origins in Perugino 's Christ giving the Keys to Peter . Raphael was a carefree character who unashamedly drew on the skills of the renowned painters whose lifespans encompassed his . In his works the individual qualities of numerous different painters are drawn together . The rounded forms and luminous colours of Perugino , the lifelike portraiture of Ghirlandaio , the realism and lighting of Leonardo and the powerful draughtsmanship of Michelangelo became unified in the paintings of Raphael . In his short life he executed a number of large altarpieces , an impressive Classical fresco of the sea nymph , Galatea , outstanding portraits with two popes and a famous writer among them , and , while Michelangelo was painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling , a series of wall frescoes in the Vatican chambers nearby , of which the School of Athens is uniquely significant . This fresco depicts a meeting of all the most learned ancient Athenians , gathered in a grand classical setting around the central figure of Plato , whom Raphael has famously modelled upon Leonardo da Vinci . The brooding figure of Heraclitus who sits by a large block of stone , is a portrait of Michelangelo , and is a reference to the latter 's painting of the Prophet Jeremiah in the Sistine Chapel . His own portrait is to the right , beside his teacher , Perugino . But the main source of Raphael 's popularity was not his major works , but his small Florentine pictures of the Madonna and Christ Child . Over and over he painted the same plump calm - faced blonde woman and her succession of chubby babies , the most famous probably being La Belle Jardinière ( `` The Madonna of the Beautiful Garden '' ) , now in the Louvre . His larger work , the Sistine Madonna , used as a design for countless stained glass windows , has come , in the 21st century , to provide the iconic image of two small cherubs which has been reproduced on everything from paper table napkins to umbrellas . High Renaissance painting in Venice ( edit ) Giovanni Bellini ( edit ) Giovanni Bellini : The Brera Madonna Giovanni Bellini was the exact contemporary of his brother Gentile , his brother - in - law Mantegna and Antonello da Messina . Working most of his life in the studio of his brother , and strongly influenced by the crisp style of Mantegna , he does not appear to have produced an independently signed painting until he was in his late 50s . During the last 30 years of his life he was both extraordinarily productive and influential , having the guidance of both Giorgione and Titian . Bellini , like his much younger contemporary , Raphael , produced numerous small Madonnas in rich glowing colour , usually of more intense tonality than his Florentine counterpart . These Madonnas multiplied prolifically as they were reproduced by other members of the large Bellini studio , one tiny picture , The Circumcision of Christ existing in four or five almost identical versions . Traditionally , in the painting of altarpieces of the Madonna and Child , the enthroned figure of the Virgin is accompanied by saints , who stand in defined spaces , separated physically in the form of a polytych or defined by painted architectural boundaries . Piero della Francesca used the Classical niche as a setting for his enthroned Madonnas , as Masaccio had used it as the setting for his Holy Trinity at Santa Maria Novella . Piero grouped saints around the throne , in the architectural space . Bellini used this same form , known as Sacred conversations , in several of his later altarpieces such as that for the Venetian church of San Zaccaria . It is a masterful composition which extends the real architecture of the building into the illusionistic architecture of the painting , making the niche a sort of loggia opened up to the landscape and to daylight which streams across the figures of the Virgin and Child , the two female saints and the little angel who plays a viola making them brighter than the two elderly male saints who stand to the fore in the picture , Peter deep in thought and Jerome immersed in a book . Giorgione and Titian ( edit ) Giorgione : The Tempest Titian : Europa and the Bull Whilst the style of Giorgione 's painting clearly relates to that of his presumed master , Giovanni Bellini , his subject matter makes him one of the most original and abstruse artists of the Renaissance . One of his paintings , of a landscape known as The Tempest , with a semi-naked woman feeding a baby , a clothed man , some classical columns and a flash of lightning , perhaps represents Adam and Eve in their post-Eden days , or perhaps it does not . Another painting attributed to him and traditionally known as The Three Philosophers , may represent the Magi planning their journey in search of the infant Christ , but this is not certain either . One thing that appears to be certain is that Giorgione painted a female nude , the very first female nude that stands , or rather , lies , as a subject to be portrayed and admired for beauty alone . There are no need for Classical references in this painting , although in later nudes Titian , Velázquez , Veronese , Rembrandt , Rubens and even Manet saw fit to add some . They are the artistic heirs of Giorgione 's nude . On Giorgione 's premature death , Titian completed the painting and went on to paint a great many more naked women , most frequently , as Botticelli did , disguising them as goddesses and surrounding them with sylvan woods and starry skies to make perfect decoration for the walls of rich clientele . But it was as a painter of portraits that Titian excelled , his longevity allowing him to achieve far more , both in the way of production and in stylistic development than either Giorgione or his Florentine contemporary Raphael were able to . Titian gave the world images of Pietro Aretino and Pope Paul III and many other people of his day , perhaps his most powerful portrait being that of Doge Andrea Gritti , ruler of Venice , who looms large in the picture space , one huge hand clasping his heavily buttoned robe in a dynamic Expressionistic gesture . Titian is also renowned for his religious painting , his last work being a turbulent and abstracted Pietà . Influence of Italian Renaissance painting ( edit ) The lives of both Michelangelo and Titian extended well into the second half of the 16th century . Both saw their styles and those of Leonardo , Mantegna , Giovanni Bellini , Antonello da Messina and Raphael adapted by later painters to form a disparate style known as Mannerism , and move steadily towards the great outpouring of imagination and painterly virtuosity of the Baroque period . The artist who most extended the trends in Titian 's large figurative compositions is Tintoretto , although his personal manner was such that he only lasted nine days as Titian 's apprentice . Rembrandt 's knowledge of the works of both Titian and Raphael is apparent in his portraits . The direct influences of Leonardo and Raphael upon their own pupils was to effect generations of artists including Poussin and schools of Classical painters of the 18th and 19th centuries . Antonello da Messina 's work had a direct influence on Albrecht Dürer and Martin Schongauer and through the latter 's engravings , countless artists including the German , Dutch and English schools of stained glass makers extending into the early 20th century . Michelangelo 's Sistine Chapel ceiling and later The Last Judgment had direct influence on the figurative compositions firstly of Raphael and his pupils and then almost every subsequent 16th - century painter who looked for new and interesting ways to depict the human form .

[ "The Proto-Renaissance begins with the professional life of the painter Giotto and includes Taddeo Gaddi, Orcagna and Altichiero. The Early Renaissance was marked by the work of Masaccio, Fra Angelico, Paolo Uccello, Piero della Francesca and Verrocchio. The High Renaissance period was that of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian. The Mannerist period included Andrea del Sarto, Pontormo and Tintoretto. Mannerism is dealt with in a separate article." ]

Until the network 's closure in 2013 , Soapnet rebroadcast episodes of Days on a same - day basis each weeknight at 8 : 00 and 10 : 00 ( Eastern and Pacific Time ) . The series was created by husband - and - wife team Ted Corday and Betty Corday . Irna Phillips was a story editor for Days of Our Lives and many of the show 's earliest storylines were written by William J. Bell . Due to the series ' success , it was expanded from 30 minutes to 60 minutes on April 21 , 1975 . The series focuses on its core families , the Hortons and the Bradys . Several other families have been added to the cast , and many of them still appear on the show .

Front Row : Frances Reid ( Alice ) , Macdonald Carey ( Tom ) , Patricia Barry ( Addie ) . The Cordays and Bell combined the `` hospital soap '' idea with the tradition of centering a series on a family , by making the show about a family of doctors , including one who worked in a mental hospital . Storylines in the show follow the lives of middle - and upper - class professionals in Salem , a middle - America town , with the usual threads of love , marriage , divorce , and family life , plus the medical story lines and character studies of individuals with psychological problems . Former executive producer Al Rabin took pride in the characters ' passion , saying that the characters were not shy about `` sharing what 's in their gut . '' Critics originally praised the show for its non-reliance on nostalgia ( in contrast to shows such as As the World Turns ) and its portrayal of `` real American contemporary families . '' By the 1970s , critics deemed Days of Our Lives to be the most daring daytime drama , leading the way in using themes other shows of the period would not dare touch , such as artificial insemination and interracial romance . The January 12 , 1976 cover of Time magazine featured Days of Our Lives ' Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth Hayes , the only daytime actors ever to appear on its cover . The Hayeses themselves were a couple whose on - screen and real - life romance ( they met on the series in 1970 and married in 1974 ) was widely covered by both the soap opera magazines and the mainstream press . In the 1990s , the show branched out into supernatural story lines , which critics immediately panned , as it was seen as a departure from more realistic storylines for which the show had originally become known . However , these storylines did have the desired effect , making Days of Our Lives the most - watched daytime soap among young and middle - aged women , also becoming one of NBC 's five most profitable shows in any time slot . In 2006 , when asked about his character , Jack Deveraux , `` coming back from the dead '' -- for the third time -- actor Matthew Ashford responded , `` It is hard to play that because at a certain point it becomes too unreal ... actors look at that and think , ' What is this -- the Cartoon Network ' ? '' In addition to receiving critical acclaim in print journalism , the series has won a number of awards , including a Daytime Emmy for Best Drama in 1978 and 2013 and a Writers Guild of America , East Award for Best Drama in 2000 and 2013 . Days of Our lives actors have also won awards : Macdonald Carey ( Dr. Tom Horton ) won Best Actor in 1974 and 1975 . Susan Flannery ( Laura Horton ) and Eileen Davidson ( Kristen DiMera ) won Best Actress in 1975 and 2014 , respectively . Suzanne Rogers ( Maggie Horton ) , Leann Hunley ( Anna DiMera ) , and Tamara Braun ( Ava Vitali ) won Best Supporting Actress for , respectively , 1979 , 1986 , and 2009 and Billy Warlock ( Frankie Brady ) won Best Younger Actor for 1988 . In 2009 , Darin Brooks ( Max Brady ) took home the Emmy for Best Younger Actor `` , and Tamara Braun ( Ava Vitali ) won for Best Supporting Actress , the show 's first acting victories in over 21 and 23 years , respectively As with all other network programming , Days of Our Lives ' ratings have declined somewhat since the 1990s . In January 2007 it was suggested by NBC that the show `` is unlikely to continue ( on NBC ) past 2009 . '' In November 2008 , in an eleventh - hour decision , it was announced the show had been renewed through September 2010 . The 18 - month renewal was down from its previous renewal , which was for five years . The show made somewhat of a comeback in 2009 , with ratings increasing as the year progressed . In March 2010 , the show was renewed once again through September 2011 ; then again on November 8 , 2010 , its 45th anniversary , the show was renewed for two more years through September 2013 , with an option for an additional year which would keep the soap on through 2014 , its 49th year on the air . The series received a two - year renewal in January 2014 that is set to last until September 2016 . Beginning on November 8 , 2010 , which marked Days of Our Lives ' 45th anniversary , the show began airing in high definition . The show was officially `` rebooted '' on September 26 , 2011 , in an effort to gain back its lapsed audience , appeal to long - term loyal fans , begin new stories , and boost ratings . Former fan favorite characters were reintroduced as part of the reboot . These included Jack Deveraux ( Matthew Ashford ) , Carrie Brady ( Christie Clark ) , and Austin Reed ( Patrick Muldoon ) . All three , including actress Sarah Brown , were fired from the show in an effort to lower production costs . The reboot was met with mixed reviews from critics . Head writers hired to handle the reboot , Marlene McPherson , and Darrell Ray Thomas Junior were subsequently fired due to declining ratings . Chris Whitesell , and former Days executive producer Gary Tomlin were rehired after being fired as part of the show 's revamp . Daytime Emmy award winner Lorraine Broderick was hired as a member of the breakdown writing team in April 2012 . Days of Our Lives is noted as the fourth longest running soap opera in the United States . On November 30 , 2014 , NBC launched a new logo for Days of Our Lives at the 2014 Hollywood Christmas Parade , in celebration of the series ' fiftieth anniversary On February 11 , 2016 , NBC renewed Days of Our Lives for one - year , with the option of an additional year . In January 2017 , while discussion the potential of a renewal for the soap , NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt stated : `` We do n't make a decision for another couple months . ( ... ) But I do n't think it 's over yet . '' In February 2017 , NBC officially renewed Days of Our Lives for an additional year . Jennifer Salke , President of NBC Entertainment , said in a statement : `` We feel so privileged to be able to continue the remarkable legacy of Days of our Lives . ( ... ) We thank ( exec producer ) Ken Corday and his team for their incredible accomplishments and look forward to all the stories from Salem that will continue to unfold . '' In March 2018 , NBC announced their decision to renewal Days of Our Lives through fall 2019 . Storyline ( edit ) Long - time actors Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn , who portray Marlena Evans and John Black , are known for being featured in some of the show 's most famous storylines . When Days of Our Lives premiered in 1965 , the show revolved around the tragedies and triumphs of the suburban Horton family . Over time , additional families were brought to the show to interact with the Hortons and serve as springboards for more dramatic storylines . Originally led by patriarch Dr. Tom Horton and his wife , homemaker Alice , the Hortons remain a prominent fixture in current continuity . One of the longest - running story lines involved the rape of Mickey Horton 's wife Laura by Mickey 's brother Bill . Laura confides in her father - in - law Dr. Tom , and the two agree that her husband Mickey should never know . The secret , involving the true parentage of Michael Horton ( a product of the rape ) and Mickey 's subsequent health issues as a result of the revelation , spanned episodes from 1968 to 1975 . This plotline was made even more complex with the presence of Linda Patterson ( originally Margaret Mason for many years , later Elaine Princi ) who claimed that her daughter Melissa had been fathered by Mickey . When Mickey married the lovely Maggie Simmons ( Suzanne Rogers ) , Linda became even more involved in the story line as the show 's main villainess , marrying the wealthy Bob Anderson ( Mark Tapscott ) and taking over the running of Anderson Manufacturing when he became ill . The story line involving Mickey , Laura and Bill was the first to bring the show to prominence , and put it near the top of the Nielsen daytime ratings . Another love triangle , between lounge singer Doug Williams , Tom and Alice 's daughter Addie , and Addie 's own daughter , Julie , proved to be very popular around the same time . The storyline culminated in the death of Addie in 1974 and the marriage of Doug and Julie in 1976 . In the early 1980s , the Brady and DiMera families were introduced , and their rivalry quickly cemented their places as core families in Salem beside the Hortons . Around the same time , with the help of head writers Sheri Anderson , Thom Racina , and Leah Laiman , action / adventure story lines and supercouples such as Bo and Hope , Shane and Kimberly , and Patch and Kayla reinvigorated the show , previously focused primarily on the domestic troubles of the Hortons . Since the 1990s , with the introduction of writer James E. Reilly , Days of Our Lives has moved from traditional plots to some supernatural and science - fiction - themed stories , in conjunction with the rivalry of good vs. evil , in a Hatfield / McCoy feud style the Bradys versus the DiMeras . Under the tenure of Reilly , ratings rose to number two , and stayed there until he left in 1999 to start his own creation of Passions . Despite the introduction of new head writer Hogan Sheffer in 2006 , ratings failed to revive , which led the show 's producers to hire a few past fan favorites to stop the ratings hemorrhage . Best - remembered stories ( edit ) In addition to the love triangles of Bill / Laura / Mickey and Addie / Doug / Julie , other memorable storylines include the 1968 story of amnesiac Tom Horton , Jr. , who returns from Korea believing he is someone else and then proceeds to romance his younger sister Marie ; the 20 - year tragic love triangle when John Black has an affair with Marlena Brady , who is married to Roman ; the 1982 `` Salem Strangler '' ( Jake Kositchek , who was nicknamed `` Jake the Ripper '' ) who stalks and murders women ; the 1984 Gone with the Wind story line in which Hope Williams Brady and Bo Brady hide out on a Southern plantation and dress up as Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler ( devised to keep viewers tuned in while rival network ABC 's soaps were preempted due to the 1984 Summer Olympics ) ; and `` The Cruise of Deception '' in 1990 , when madman Ernesto Toscano invites all his enemies aboard a ship , the S.S. Loretta , and holds them captive . In 1992 , the show received a reboot with additions such as refurbished sets , the debut of the Brady Pub , the addition of new characters such as Vivian Alamain , Lisanne Gardner , Billie Reed , and Kate Roberts . Later that same year , Days of Our Lives introduced its highly popular teen scene with new characters such as a SORASed Sami Brady , played by Alison Sweeney , Carrie Brady , played by Tracy Middendorf , and then back to Christie Clark again , Austin Reed portrayed by Patrick Muldoon , Lucas Roberts played by Bryan Dattilo , Abe Carver 's younger brother Jonah Carver , played by Thyme Lewis , Jamie Caldwell , played by Miriam Parish , and Wendy Reardon played by Tammy Townsend to appeal to younger viewers . However , by 1997 , the characters of Jonah , Jamie , and Wendy had been written out or faded into the background , proving to be unsuccessful and the Carrie / Austin / Sami / Mike love triangle and the Will Horton paternity issue / custody battle storyline had now been taking most of the series ' air time . The shocking and ratings - grabbing 1993 plot when Vivian Alamain buried Dr. Carly Manning alive ( the first controversial storyline from head writer Reilly ) ; and the 1994 -- 1995 story line in which the town 's Christmas tree burns down and Marlena becomes possessed in Exorcist fashion . Also from 1993 to 1998 , the soap saw a lot of actress Eileen Davidson . Her character , Kristen DiMera suffers a miscarriage in secret , and in a panic to keep John Black away from Marlena , pretends to still be pregnant with John 's child . Stefano hires a doppelganger , Susan Banks to conceive and bear a child for her ( which resulted in the birth of EJ DiMera ) . Eileen Davidson portrayed the entire Banks family clan , four in total ( including one male ) , as well as her main character . 2000 saw the departures of front - and - center cast members , Louise Sorel as Vivian Alamain and Jensen Ackles as Eric Brady . Ackles and the character of Eric had been one of the main focus of the series for the past three years prior , in which the void would be hard to fill . Ken Corday and NBC announced plans to re-introduced a SORAS Brady Black , immediately following the conclusion of Eric 's storyline . That spring , Kyle Lowder was cast as the new Brady Black , whom would now be aged to his early 20 's , first appearing on August 21 , 2000 , a month following Eric 's exit . Lowder 's Brady did prove to win over the majority of viewers , as his pairing with Chloe Lane proved highly popular . The pair married and left town in 2005 when Lowder 's contract was not renewed . 2003 -- 2004 's `` Melaswen '' , saw several characters purportedly die at the hands of a masked psychopath ; they are later revealed to have been kidnapped to the secret island of Melaswen ( New Salem spelled backwards ) . 2007 's `` Bradys and DiMeras : The Reveal '' , told the story regarding how the Brady / DiMera feud started . Past characters returned in June 2010 to honor the passing of matriarch Alice Horton , whose character died on June 23 , 2010 . On June 23 , 2011 , Days of Our Lives introduced Sonny Kiriakis , the show 's first contract gay character onto the canvas to be featured in the show 's first gay story line . Freddie Smith ( Sonny ) said in an interview , `` He 's very confident and mature , he 's traveled the world and is very open - minded . I 'm very excited to portray him . '' Subsequent to Sonny 's arrival , Will Horton investigates his own sexuality , and reveals himself to be gay . He later starts a romantic relationship with Sonny . They eventually marry . On January 26 , 2012 , episode 11765 was a tribute to soldiers who have served in Afghanistan and previous wars with a PTSD therapy group for Jack Deveraux to talk over his time held captive there . This was also when the inline ' ' Next On ' ' promos were discontinued in favor of an external weekly promo .

In mid 2013 , the show debuted new characters such as JJ Deveraux and Theresa Donovan to appeal to younger viewers . In celebration of the soap 's fiftieth anniversary in 2015 , several cast members returned to the soap , including Peter Reckell , Stephen Nichols and Penghlis . Executive producing and head writing team ( edit ) Main article : Days of Our Lives producers and writers The co-creator and original executive producer , Ted Corday , was only at the helm for eight months before dying of cancer in 1966 . His widow , Betty , was named executive producer upon his death . She continued in that role , with the help of H. Wesley Kenney and Al Rabin as supervising producers , before she semi-retired in 1985 . When Mrs. Corday semi-retired in 1985 , and later died in 1987 , her son , Ken , became executive producer and took over the full - time , day - to - day running of the show , a title he still holds today . The series ' current co-executive producers are Greg Meng and Lisa de Cazotte . In March 2015 , it was reported that de Cazotte would no longer serve as a co-executive producer for the series . Albert Alarr was announced as de Cazotte 's replacement as a co-executive producer . The first long - term head writer , William J. Bell , started writing for Days of Our Lives in 1966 and continued until 1975 , a few years after he had created his own successful soap , The Young and the Restless . He stayed with the show as a story line consultant until 1978 . During the late 1970s and early 1980s , many writing changes occurred . In the early 1980s , Margaret DePriest helped stabilize the show with her serial killer story line . Later head writers , such as Sheri Anderson , Thom Racina , and Leah Laiman , built on that stability and crafted story lines of their own , temporarily bringing up ratings . Many writing changes occurred after Laiman left the series in 1989 and would not become stable again until James E. Reilly started with the show in 1993 . His tenure , which lasted for four - and - a-half years , was credited with bringing ratings up to the second place spot in the Nielsens . Other writers who succeeded him , such as Sally Sussman Morina and Tom Langan , failed to keep the ratings success , and another writer turnover continued until Reilly returned to the series in 2003 . Five - time Daytime Emmy winner Hogan Sheffer was named head writer with great fanfare in October 2006 , but lasted less than 16 months with the show , with his last episode airing in January 2008 . Former head writer Dena Higley 's first episode aired on April 23 , 2008 . Her co-head writer was Christopher Whitesell until February 2011 . On May 18 , 2011 , Dena Higley was fired . The new head writers were Marlene McPherson and Darrell Ray Thomas Jr . In April 2012 , it was confirmed that McPherson and Thomas Jr. were fired from their positions as co-head writers . Gary Tomlin and Christopher Whitesell were hired for the position . It was later confirmed that former All My Children headwriter Lorraine Broderick would join Tomlin and Whitesell as a breakdown writer on the series . In February 2015 , Soap Opera Digest confirmed that both Tomlin and Whitesell had been ousted in their roles as head - writers ; they further confirmed that former head writer Higley would return , alongside former The Young and the Restless head writer Josh Griffith . The change took effect on February 16 , 2015 . In August 2015 , reports stated that Higley would be taking a leave of absence from the show . In her place , Sony would be sending a writer from The Young and the Restless to help Griffith with the transition . The writer was later revealed to be former head writer Beth Milstein . In February 2016 , several days after the show was renewed for another year , Soap Opera Digest exclusively reported that Griffith has departed the show as head writer with Higley remaining ; they further revealed that script writer Ryan Quan has been promoted to replace Griffith . On January 23 , 2017 , Soap Opera Digest broke news that both Higley and Quan had been let go from their positions as co-head writers . According to the report , Quan was given a new title of Creative Consultant , while Higley was let go all - together . Former One Life to Live and General Hospital head writer Ron Carlivati was named as Higley 's replacement , `` effective immediately '' . In addition to Carlivati 's appointment , it was also announced that Anderson would return to the soap , sharing the role of Creative Consultant with Quan . Carlivati will receive his first episodic credit as head writer on July 19 , 2017 . Days of Our Lives won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Writing Team in June , 2012 and April , 2018 . It also won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series in June , 2013 and April , 2018 . Domestic broadcast ( edit ) According to Variety , Days of Our Lives is the most widely distributed soap opera in the United States , with episodes not just broadcast via NBC , but also via cable ( SOAPnet ) , and as of June 2007 , episodes are offered via iTunes . For the first three years on the air , Days of Our Lives was near the bottom of the Nielsen ratings , and close to cancellation . However , its ascent to the top was rapid ; as the 1969 TV season ended , it became an effective tool of NBC , which attempted to dethrone daytime leader CBS . By 1973 the show , pitted against CBS ' popular Guiding Light and ABC 's The Newlywed Game at 2 p.m. ( ET ) / 1 p.m. ( CT ) , had matched the first - place ratings of As the World Turns and sister NBC soap Another World . Due to the success of the program , it expanded from a half - hour to one hour on April 21 , 1975 . This expansion had followed the lead of Another World , which became TV 's first - ever hour - long soap on January 6 , three - and - a-half months earlier . Further , Days of Our Lives ' new starting time of 1 : 30 p.m. / 12 : 30 finally solved a scheduling problem that began in 1968 when NBC lost the game Let 's Make a Deal to ABC , and in its wake , eight different shows were placed into the slot ( Hidden Faces , You 're Putting Me On , Life with Linkletter , Words & Music , Memory Game , Three on a Match , Jeopardy ! , and How to Survive a Marriage ) . However , this first golden period for NBC daytime proved to be short - lived , as Days of Our Lives ' ratings began to decline in 1977 . Much of the decline was due to ABC 's expansion of its increasingly popular soap All My Children to a full hour , the last half of which overlapped with the first half of Days of Our Lives By January 1979 , the network , in a mode of desperation more than anything else , decided to jump headlong against AMC and moved the show ahead to the same 1 : 00 p.m. / 12 Noon time slot . In exchange to its affiliates for taking away the old half - hour access slot at 1 : 00 / Noon , NBC gave them the 4 p.m. / 3 slot , which many ( if not most ) stations had been preempting for years anyway . By 1986 , ABC and CBS followed suit , under the intense pressure of lucrative ( and cheap ) syndicated programming offered to affiliates . By 1980 , Days of Our Lives had displaced Another World as NBC 's highest - rated soap . However , the entire NBC soap lineup was in ratings trouble . In fact , by 1982 , all of its shows were rated above only one ABC soap ( The Edge of Night ) and below all four CBS soaps . The `` supercouple '' era of the 1980s , however , helped bring about a ratings revival , and the 1983 -- 1984 season saw Days of Our Lives experience a surge in ratings . It held onto its strong numbers for most of the 1980s , only to decline again by 1990 , eventually falling back into eighth place . In the mid-1990s , however , the show experienced a resurgence in popularity and the show reached number two in the ratings , where it remained for several years before experiencing another ratings decline beginning in 1999 , the year that Days of Our Lives became NBC 's longest - running daytime program ( upon the cancellation of Another World ) . Throughout the 2000s ( decade ) , Days of Our Lives and all the other remaining network daytime serials have witnessed a steady erosion of viewers , mainly due to vastly altered viewing habits induced by cable networks and alternative genres such as reality and talk shows on minor network affiliates . On January 17 , 2007 , NBC Universal Television president Jeff Zucker remarked that Days of Our Lives would most likely not `` continue past 2009 . '' This contributed to an immediate ratings decline for Days of Our Lives . The show was averaging a 2.4 rating prior to the announcement , dropped to a 2.2 average household rating in the months after . In an April 2007 interview with Soap Opera Digest , executive producer Ken Corday commented on the ratings decline of the previous months , `` If I do n't pay attention to the ratings and what the viewers are saying , I 'm an ostrich . I have not seen a decline in the ratings on the show this precipitous -- ever . I 've never seen this much of a percentage decline . '' Days of Our Lives had finished the 2008 - 2009 television season with a substantial increase in viewers ( 3.0 million vs. 2.8 million ) and had risen to the # 3 spot behind The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful , respectively . It was the # 2 daytime program behind The Young and the Restless in the much coveted 18 - 49 demographic . During the first few months of the 2009 - 2010 season , Days of Our Lives increased its average household rating to 2.4 , and averaged consistently over 3,000,000 viewers . It was only one point behind the # 2 daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful , and has beat that soap on several days during the season . In 2010 , Days of Our Lives continued to increase viewership , reaching as high as 3.6 million viewers on several days . A substantial increase in viewership such as Days of Our Lives has had lately also bucks the viewership trend in daytime dramas , which had declined since the 1990s for all other daytime drama series . Days of Our Lives was the only daytime drama series to increase in viewers between 2008 and 2010 and had reduced its operating budget , making it a profitable asset to NBC 's broadcast line - up . However starting in 2011 , Days of Our Lives started to lose ground significantly to the point that it sometimes occupied the last position among all soaps for both total viewership and the 18 - 49 women demographic . The cancellation of All My Children on ABC combined with the return of several cast members allowed a brief resurgence of Days of Our Lives in October 2011 , but ratings soon declined again . In December 2011 before the cancellation of One Life to Live , Days of Our Lives recorded three consecutive weeks of new lows in the 18 - 49 women key demo category , and again another consecutive three weeks of low ratings in the same demographic during March -- April 2012 . As of 2012 , Days of Our Lives generally ranks # 3 among the four daytime soap operas on the air when it comes to the total number of viewers ( surpassing only General Hospital ) . However , Days of Our Lives is last among all soap operas for the numbers of viewers in the targeted demographic of women aged between 18 and 49 years old . Local scheduling variations ( edit ) Since January 1993 after the cancellation of Santa Barbara , WPXI - TV in Pittsburgh airs Days weekdays during its 3 : 00 p.m. time slot while some stations such as WJAC - TV in Johnstown , Pennsylvania air the program during the 2 : 00 p.m. timeslot , but most stations continue to air Days at its 1 p.m. time slot . Some Central Time Zone affiliates carry it at noon with the main Eastern feed , such as Green Bay , Wisconsin 's WGBA - TV , which uses it as an alternative to programming what would likely be a low - rated local newscast against long - established local competition . However , the program received schedule and station shifts with the start of the 2013 - 14 television season . One NBC station , KSNV - DT in Las Vegas , stopped carrying the show on August 19 , 2013 due to a long - term move to an all - news schedule outside of network news and primetime programming ; the program moved to the market 's CW affiliate KVCW , where it aired at its traditional 1 : 00 p.m. time slot until an ownership change saw the show return to KSNV in late December 2014 as part of a change in the all - news plans . With the cancellation of Passions , Days is now NBC 's last remaining daytime soap opera , as well as the network 's last remaining daytime program . Salt Lake City 's KSL - TV moved the show to the late night 1 : 05 a.m. slot three weeks later on September 9 for unknown reasons , though a romantic plot line between two gay characters was theorized as a reason for the move ; the station is owned by the broadcasting arm of the LDS Church .

Oceania ( edit ) See also : Screening of soap operas in Australia In Australia , Days of Our Lives was initially broadcast on the Nine Network from March 25 , 1968 , until April 26 , 2013 , when the network axed the show based on a commercial decision . During its run on the Nine Network in the early 2000s , episodes ended up being nearly five years behind the United States , due to the network 's coverage of cricket each summer . In an attempt to get viewers up to date with the US , Nine aired a one - hour special on September 13 , 2004 , titled , Days of Our Lives : A New Day , which summarized four years of storylines and caused mixed feelings among regular viewers . This special was followed by episodes airing at the same pace as the US . However , the show ended up being behind the US again , and by April 2013 , episodes were airing at a delay of 16 months . On June 17 , 2013 , Days of Our Lives resumed to Australian viewers free and on - demand through Sony 's Crackle service , as well as across Crackle 's web apps on mobile devices , connected TVs and game consoles . Crackle picked up where the Nine Network left off with 10 new episodes in its first week and seven new episodes every Monday thereafter . From January 20 , 2014 , Crackle began releasing five episodes each week . Days of Our Lives is currently six years behind the US . Days of Our Lives returned to Australian television on Foxtel 's channel Arena in April 2014 . It airs weekdays before The Young and the Restless at 12 : 00 pm AEST . In order to bring TV viewers up to date , Arena screened ten catch up episodes , each presented by Days of Our Lives cast members , from April 1 to April 14 , 2014 , featuring key story lines missed during the 11 - month Australian television hiatus . Then on April 15 , 2014 , Arena began airing episodes at the same pace as the US . Arena also re-airs the last five aired episodes shown as an omnibus catch up edition each Sunday around 7 : 00 am AEST . New Zealand has aired Days of Our Lives along with The Young and the Restless since 1975 , debuting on Television New Zealand ( TVNZ ) . Originally airing weekdays on TV2 was shifted to TV One in 2003 , where it was put in a 2pm time slot . The soap was approximately five seasons behind the NBC season due to being preempted by holiday and sporting programming . During October 2009 , TVNZ announced that they were ending their exclusive contract with Sony Pictures . Despite a national petition from fans Days of Our Lives ended on May 19 , 2010 . On February 27 , 2013 , nearly three years the series ' final broadcast on TVNZ , ChoiceTV announced their decision to pick up the series ; the series began broadcasting on March 11 , 2013 , weekdays at 1 : 30pm . Broadcasting began with the series ' 46th season ( 2011 -- 12 ) , meaning the show would be only 18 months behind the current NBC season in the US . ChoiceTV also re-airs the last five aired episodes shown as an omnibus catch up edition each Sunday , beginning at 9 AM NZST , when due to government broadcasting restrictions are shown without advertisements . By December 20 , 2013 , ChoiceTV had removed the show from their schedule for summer hiatus . However , the series resumed airing on February 10 , 2014 from episode 11,880 . As of April 25 , 2014 , New Zealand viewers are up to episode 11,933 , as ChoiceTV decides on if they will renew the show . Europe ( edit ) Channel 5 aired episodes of Days of our Lives in the United Kingdom from March 2000 to April 2001 , eventually pulling it off the air ; network executives deemed its audience of 200,000 viewers as too low a figure . Days had previously aired in the United Kingdom and Ireland on the Sky Soap channel between 1994 and 1999 ; episodes were three years behind U.S. telecasts . Days of Our Lives became available to viewers again in the United Kingdom in 2007 - 2010 ; CBS Drama ended the run after relegating the show from daytime to 1.00 am . African / Eastern ( edit ) In South Africa , the soap aired on SABC 1 for ten years , from 1996 until March 2006 , weekdays at 17 : 10 to 18 : 00 local standard time . As of April 2005 , the soap airs on SABC 3 , each weekday from 17 : 00 to 17 : 50 . Beginning September 4 , 2017 , the show moves to ETV at 17 : 30pm according to promos posted online . Opening title sequences and theme song ( edit ) Original main title ; the registered trademark next to the title was later removed . Almost unmodified since the show 's debut in 1965 , the title sequence of Days of Our Lives features an hourglass , with sand slowly trickling to the bottom against the backdrop of a partly cloudy sky , as well as the trademark voiceover , `` Like sands through the hourglass , so are the Days of Our Lives . '' From the show 's debut in 1965 until March 1966 , announcer Ed Prentiss spoke the phrase , adding `` Days of Our Lives , a new dramatic serial starring Macdonald Carey . '' Since April 1966 , the voice has been that of Macdonald Carey , who played Dr. Thomas Horton from the show 's premiere until the actor 's 1994 death from lung cancer . From 1966 to 1994 , he would add `` This is Macdonald Carey , and these are the Days of Our Lives . '' After Carey 's death in 1994 , this second part was removed out of respect for Carey and his family . At intermission ( between 1975 and 2011 ) , his voice would also say `` We will return for the second half of Days of Our Lives in just a moment '' . Days of Our Lives opening theme ( 1973 ) Narrated by Macdonald Carey Problems playing this file ? See media help . The only major visual change to the title sequence was in 1993 when the show began using a CGI animated hourglass and backdrop . The theme that regularly accompanies each sequence was composed by Charles Albertine , Tommy Boyce , and Bobby Hart . The theme has only been modified a few times since Days of Our Lives premiered : in 1972 ; in 1993 , when the opening titles were changed to computerized visuals ( designed by Wayne Fitzgerald and Judy Loren ) ; in 2004 , with an orchestral arrangement that was only used in eight episodes , after which time the theme was reverted to the 1993 arrangement ; and in 2009 , when the theme was edited for time and shortened . Beginning with the November 8 , 2010 episode , there were slight changes to the coloring of the sky background in the sequence now being displayed in 16 : 9 widescreen . However , there was very little change in the sequence 's appearance from the 1993 version . Parodies ( edit ) SCTV had a recurring soap opera sketch called `` Days of the Week '' which featured Martin Short and Andrea Martin . Days of Our Lives was somewhat satirized ( or perhaps merely referenced ) on the hit NBC sitcom Friends when series regular Joey Tribbiani ( Matt LeBlanc ) was cast as `` Dr. Drake Ramoray '' on the show , despite Joey living in New York when Days of Our Lives is shot in California . Subsequent episodes featured pseudo-Days of Our Lives storylines invented for the sitcom , and included some guest appearances by real - life cast members from the soap opera . Joey 's stint on the show ended when he angered the show 's writers ; his character was killed after falling down an elevator shaft . Later , his character was brought back to life thanks to a brain transplant from the character Jessica Lockhart , played by Susan Sarandon . Alison Sweeney ( Sami Brady ) appeared on Friends as faux Days character `` Jessica Lockhart '' , Kristian Alfonso as Hope Brady , and Roark Critchlow as Mike Horton . In an episode in which Joey hosts a `` soap opera party '' on the roof , Matthew Ashford and Kyle Lowder make appearances as his co-stars . In the spin - off sitcom Joey , Joey is nominated for `` best death scene '' after his character is stabbed while performing surgery . The show was also parodied as `` Light of Our Love '' , or `` LOOL '' , in the Nancy Drew video game Stay Tuned for Danger . The Simpsons episode `` Pygmoelian '' features a fictional soap opera , `` It Never Ends '' , based on Days of Our Lives . Days of our Mornings is a long - running radio parody , broadcast weekday mornings on 5FM in South Africa . The Fairly OddParents episode `` Add a Dad '' features a parody name as `` Dads of our Lives '' . Totally Spies ! episode `` Starstruck '' features a television set of a parody show `` Days of Our Spies '' . House episode `` Gut Check '' features House hiring a kid who plays a fictional character of the fictionalized version of the show . Blue Collar TV featured a sketch as a parody of the show called `` White Trash Days of Our Lives '' with the opening epitaph slightly changed . `` Like beer through a redneck , so flows the white trash days of our lives . '' Gilmore Girls : Just after Emily goes to walk after her and Richard 's fight , Lorelai says Like sands through the hourglass , so are the Gilmores of Our Lives . This happened at season 2 in episode 10 ( `` The Bracebridge Dinner '' ) . Fans ( edit ) The show has had many high - profile fans . In 1976 , TIME magazine reported that then - Justice of the Supreme Court Thurgood Marshall would call a recess around the 1 p.m. hour to watch Days of Our Lives . Actress Julia Roberts admitted at the 2002 People 's Choice Awards that she was a fan of Days of Our Lives , asked to be seated near the cast , and upon winning her award stated , `` I 'm very nervous because the cast of Days of Our Lives is here . '' In 2004 , during the show 's Melaswen storyline , Roberts ' interest was considered notable enough that Entertainment Weekly quoted her saying that `` the show has gotten a little wacko . '' A 1998 TIME article mentioned that Monica Lewinsky was a passionate fan of Days of Our Lives , so much so that she wrote a poem about the series in her high school yearbook . The article compared her whirlwind experiences in the White House to a story on Days of Our Lives . Best - selling novelist Brian Keene has stated in interviews that he has watched the show since 1983 , and pauses from writing each day during the hour it is on .

Some years later , Ella 's father remarries Lady Tremaine , the widow of an old acquaintance , who has two daughters of her own , Drisella and Anastasia . Ella welcomes her new stepfamily , despite the stepsisters ' unpleasant attitudes . When Ella 's father goes abroad for business , Lady Tremaine slowly reveals her cruel and jealous nature , as she pushes Ella to give up her bedroom to the stepsisters for the attic . When her father dies during the trip , Lady Tremaine dismisses the household to save money and forces all of the chores on Ella . One morning , when her stepfamily see Ella 's face covered in cinders due to her sleeping by the fireplace for warmth , they mock Ella as `` Cinderella '' and forbid her from eating with them . Crushed by their cruelty , Ella rides off into the woods , where she meets Kit , the crown prince , posing as a palace apprentice , along with his hunting party . Though Ella is unaware of Kit 's true identity , they both take a liking to each other . The two part without Kit learning Ella 's name . The King , upon learning he has little time left to live , urges Kit that , for the advantage of the kingdom , he should take a princess for his bride at the upcoming royal ball . Kit persuades his father to also invite every eligible maiden in the kingdom to the ball , in hope of seeing Ella . Upon receiving notice of the ball , Ella finds a gown that belongs to her mother and decides to refashion it for the ball . On the night of the ball , Ella tries to join her stepfamily , but Lady Tremaine and her daughters ridicule and tear up Ella 's dress , leaving without her . Ella runs into the garden in tears and meets an old beggar woman , who reveals herself to be Ella 's Fairy Godmother . To help Ella attend the ball , her Fairy Godmother magically transforms a pumpkin into a golden carriage , her four mice into white horses , two lizards into footmen , and a goose into the coachman . She transforms Ella 's ripped dress into a gorgeous blue gown , complete with a pair of magical glass slippers . As Ella leaves for the Ball , the Fairy Godmother warns her the spell will break at the last stroke of midnight . Finally , she casts a spell to keep Ella 's stepfamily from recognizing her . At the ball , the entire court is entranced by Ella when she appears . Ella and Kit proceed to have their first dance . This irritates the Grand Duke , who has promised Kit to Princess Chelina of Zaragoza , a comment which Lady Tremaine overhears . While surprised at Kit 's true identity , Ella nonetheless continues to bond with him , touring the palace grounds . As Ella is about to tell Kit her name , Ella hears the clock start to chime midnight and flees . As she leaves the castle , one of her slippers falls off . After being pursued by the Grand Duke and his men , Ella manages to escape home before the final stroke of midnight chimes , causing the spell to wear off . After returning home , Ella hides the remaining glass slipper left behind under the floorboards of her bedroom . The King passes away soon after , but not before giving his son permission to marry Ella . Now King , Kit issues a royal proclamation ordering every maiden in the kingdom to try on the slipper in an effort to find the girl . Ella hurries to retrieve the glass slipper to prove her identity , only to find her stepmother holding it . Having deduced that Ella is the mystery princess , Lady Tremaine demands to be made head of the royal household and with respectable husbands for the stepsisters , as a condition of giving Ella 's hand in marriage to Kit . When Ella refuses to meet her demands , Lady Tremaine smashes the slipper and locks Ella in the attic . Lady Tremaine then takes the remaining glass slipper to the Grand Duke , and has him agree to make her a countess and securing marriages for her daughters , in exchange for keeping Ella hidden . The Grand Duke and the Captain of the Guards lead the mission to find the mystery princess , but the magical slipper refuses to fit any other maiden . When they arrive at the Tremaine estate , the shoe fits neither of the stepsisters . As they turn to leave , Ella 's singing of Lavender 's Blue is heard . The Grand Duke tries to ignore this , but Kit , disguised as a guard , commands the Captain to investigate . Dismissing Lady Tremaine 's attempts to stop her , Ella is reunited with Kit . They leave the house as Ella offers forgiveness to her stepmother . Afterward , the Fairy Godmother states that Ella 's stepfamily and the Grand Duke left the kingdom never to return . Ella and Kit marry and eventually grow to become the land 's most beloved monarchs , ruling with the same courage and kindness that Ella has promised her mother , living happily ever after . Cast ( edit ) As shown in the credits , some names differ in dialogues . Cate Blanchett as Stepmother , also known as Lady Tremaine Lily James as Cinderella , also known as Ella Eloise Webb as a young Ella Richard Madden as Prince , also known as Kit Helena Bonham Carter as Fairy Godmother Nonso Anozie as Captain Stellan Skarsgård as Grand Duke Sophie McShera as Drisella Holliday Grainger as Anastasia Derek Jacobi as King Ben Chaplin as Ella 's father Hayley Atwell as Ella 's mother Rob Brydon as Master Phineus Jana Perez as Princess Chelina of Zaragosa Alex Macqueen as Royal Crier Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) In May 2010 , following the box office success of Tim Burton 's Alice in Wonderland , which was the second - highest - grossing film of 2010 and earned over $1 billion at the box office worldwide , Walt Disney Pictures began developing a new film adaptation of Cinderella , commissioning a live - action reimagining based on a script by Aline Brosh McKenna and produced by Simon Kinberg . In August 2011 , Mark Romanek was brought on to direct . On February 29 , 2012 , it was announced that Chris Weitz would revise McKenna 's script . In January 2013 , Romanek left the project due to creative differences , as he was developing a version that was darker than Disney wanted . Later that month , Disney negotiated with Kenneth Branagh to take over as director . Cate Blanchett was the first actor to sign on , when it was announced in November 2012 that she would be playing Lady Tremaine , Cinderella 's evil stepmother . In March 2013 , Emma Watson was in talks to portray Cinderella , but a deal could not be worked out . Gabriella Wilde , Saoirse Ronan , Alicia Vikander , Bella Heathcote and Margot Robbie were also considered for the part , but deals could not be worked out due to scheduling and other conflicts . On April 30 , 2013 , Lily James was cast as the title character . A week later , Richard Madden was cast as Prince Charming , who was named Kit in the film . In June 2013 , it was reported that Holliday Grainger and Sophie McShera joined the film as Cinderella 's two evil stepsisters , Anastasia and Drisella . Later that month , Helena Bonham Carter was cast as the Fairy Godmother . In August 2013 , Hayley Atwell and Ben Chaplin joined the cast to play Cinderella 's mother and Cinderella 's father . In September 2013 , Stellan Skarsgård 's role as the Grand Duke was confirmed . On September 23 , 2013 , it was announced that Derek Jacobi was cast as the King , Prince Kit 's father , and Nonso Anozie as the Captain , a loyal friend to the Prince . According to Walt Disney Pictures president of production Sean Bailey , studio chairman Alan F. Horn wished to make the film the `` definitive Cinderella for generations to come , '' and told him that `` if you need to spend a little more , spend it , to make sure it 's one for the time capsule . '' Costumes ( edit ) Three - time Oscar - winning costume designer Sandy Powell was in charge of the costumes for the film . Powell began working on concepts for the characters ' looks almost two years before principal photography began in the summer of 2013 . Powell said she was aiming for the look of `` a nineteenth - century period film made in the 1940s or 1950s . '' For the stepmother and stepsisters , Powell had a very clear idea about the look ; `` They are meant to be totally ridiculous on the outside -- a bit too much and overdone -- and ugly on the inside . '' The silhouette of the prince came from the original animation , however she created a more fitted look and less masculine colors . Some of the prince costumes were dyed to accentuate Madden 's eyes . The ball gown was inspired by the Disney animated film in its color and shape ; `` The gown had to look lovely when she dances and runs away from the ball . I wanted her to look like she was floating , like a watercolor painting . '' The dress was made with more than a dozen fine layers of fabric , a corset and a petticoat . Nine versions of the Cinderella gown were designed , each with more than 270 yards of fabric and 10,000 crystals . It took 18 tailors and 500 hours to make each dress . The wedding dress was another difficult project . `` Creating the wedding dress was a challenge . Rather than try to make something even better than the ball gown , I had to do something completely different and simple ... I wanted the whole effect to be ephemeral and fine , so we went with an extreme - lined shaped bodice with a long train '' , said Powell . It took 16 people and 550 hours to complete the silk - organza , hand painted dress . While the crew photographed James in the gown , the actress stood too close to an electric heater and the dress caught on fire ; the top layer of the dress had to be redone because only one wedding dress was created due to time and budget constraints . For the glass slipper , Powell took inspiration from a 1950s shoe she saw in a museum . Since glass does not sparkle , they decided to use crystal instead . Swarovski partnered with Disney to make the famous shoe . Powell went directly to Swarovski headquarters in Austria to meet the product developers . It took 6 digital renderings of the shoes until they found the right one for the film . Swarovski made eight pairs of crystal shoes for the film , though none were actually wearable . Consequently , the leather shoes James wore on set had to be digitally altered into crystal . Alongside the slipper , Swarovski provided more than 7 million crystals that were used in costumes and 100 tiaras for the ball scene . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography on Cinderella began on September 23 , 2013 .

On February 10 , 2015 , IMAX Corporation and Disney announced plans to digitally re-master the film into the IMAX format and release it in IMAX theaters globally on the scheduled release date . The first official presentation of the film occurred at Disney 's three - day D23 Expo in August 2013 . The film was previewed at CinemaCon in Las Vegas , Nevada , in March 2014 , with a teaser showing Cinderella hearing about her father 's death , meeting the prince while riding through the forest , her mother 's ball gown being torn apart by her step - family , and a comedic bit where the Fairy Godmother transforms a pumpkin into a carriage . The first official trailer debuted on May 15 , 2014 . In the minute - long teaser , which does n't include any footage from the film , a sparkling glass slipper is slowly revealed over a black background . The second official trailer , two - and - a-half minutes long and containing footage from the film , debuted on Good Morning America on November 19 , 2014 , with a 15 - second trailer preview released two days prior . In its first 24 hours of release , the trailer was viewed 4.2 million times on YouTube and 33 million times on Facebook , the highest views among all Disney films in history , except for Marvel Studios releases . The movie 's official poster was also released on November 19 , featuring James as Cinderella and photographed by Annie Leibovitz . Disney released an international trailer on December 16 , 2014 . A new trailer was released on January 1 , 2015 . On February 11 , 2015 , Disney released a final trailer for the film . In October 2014 , a licensing agreement between Disney and Turner Broadcasting was announced , in which Cinderella would premiere across Turner 's cable network portfolio ( including TBS and TNT ) in the Spring of 2017 .

Five deleted scenes with an introduction by Kenneth Branagh are included exclusively on `` Disney Movies Anywhere '' . The film debuted in second place on the home media sales charts behind Furious 7 . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) Cinderella grossed $201.2 million in the US and Canada , and $342.4 million in other countries , for a worldwide total of $543.5 million against a budget of $95 million . It is the twelfth highest - grossing film of 2015 in any genre . The film had a worldwide opening of $132.45 million , and an IMAX opening of $9 million . Deadline.com calculated the net profit of the film to be $164.77 million , when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film . In the U.S. and Canada , Cinderella opened on Friday , March 13 , 2015 , across 3,845 theaters , and earned $23 million . The film 's Friday gross included a $2.3 million late night run . It topped the box office during its opening weekend as projected , earning $67.9 million , including a record $5 million from 358 IMAX theaters , and became Disney 's biggest 2D PG - rated opening of all time . It is director Kenneth Branagh 's biggest opening of his career ( breaking 2011 's Thor record ) , the fourth - highest Disney opening in March , and was the seventh - highest opening in March overall ( not counting for inflation ) . Audiences during its opening weekend comprised 66 % female , 66 % families , 26 % adults , 8 % teenagers , 31 % under the age of 12 and 9 % 50 years and older . Cinderella finished its first week at the box office with $87.55 million , which was very high end of the film 's lofty pre-release expectations . In its second weekend , the film declined 49 % to $35 million and was surpassed by The Divergent Series : Insurgent , dropping to # 2 . The drop was in between two of Disney 's previous live - action fantasy films , Oz the Great and Powerful ( 48 % ) and Maleficent ( 51 % ) . In North America , Cinderella is the ninth highest - grossing 2015 film , but lost to Furious 7 1 month later . Outside North America , box office analysts predicted as much as $60 million opening . The film made its debut outside of North America on the same weekend as its wide North American release and earned an estimated $62.4 million from 31 countries , including $4 million from IMAX theaters . It topped the box office for two non-consecutive weekends . It opened in China with $25 million , the biggest March opening in the country , and Russia with $7.3 million . The opening in these two countries were considered impressive given that both the countries are famous for their keenness for 3D films rather than 2D . Other high openings occurred in the UK , Ireland and Malta ( $5.6 million ) , Mexico ( $5 million ) , Japan ( $4.8 million ) , France ( $3.3 million ) , and Brazil ( $3.7 million ) . In Australia , where the release date was coinciding with the Cricket World Cup finale , it managed to open with $3.4 million . Italy opened with $4.6 million and topped the box office for three consecutive weekends . It also topped the Japanese box office for five consecutive weekends . It became the second - highest grossing Disney live - action film in China , behind Pirates of the Caribbean : On Stranger Tides and in the Philippines , behind Maleficent . In total earnings , its largest markets outside of the US and Canada are China ( $71.1 million ) , Japan ( $46 million ) and the UK , Ireland and Malta ( $29.2 million ) . Critical response ( edit ) Cinderella received mostly positive reviews from critics with particular praise going to the cast , notably Blanchett , James , and Bonham Carter , Patrick Doyle 's musical score , faithfulness to the original animated film , and Sandy Powell 's costume designs . On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds an 84 % approval rating , based on 219 reviews , with a rating average of 7.1 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Refreshingly traditional in a revisionist era , Kenneth Branagh 's Cinderella proves Disney has n't lost any of its old - fashioned magic . '' Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 67 out of 100 , based on 47 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . According to CinemaScore , audiences gave the film a grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale . David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter reviewed the film at the Berlin Film Festival and praised the special effects , the screenplay , and Blanchett 's performance and said that `` anyone nostalgic for childhood dreams of transformation will find something to enjoy in an uplifting movie that invests warm sentiment in universal themes of loss and resilience , experience and maturity . '' Peter Debruge of Variety said , `` It 's all a bit square , big on charm , but lacking the crackle of Enchanted or The Princess Bride . But though this Cinderella could never replace Disney 's animated classic , it 's no ugly stepsister either , but a deserving companion . '' Guy Lodge of The Guardian gave the film three stars out of five and said , `` While it might have been nice to see the new - model Cinderella follow Frozen 's progressive , quasi-feminist lead , the film 's naff , preserved - in - amber romanticism is its very charm . '' Scott Mendelson of Forbes admired the film 's visual effects , production design , and called the costume design as Oscar - worthy , adding , `` with an emphasis on empathy and empowerment , Walt Disney 's Cinderella is the best film yet in their ' turn our animated classics into live - action blockbuster ' subgenre . '' Richard Corliss of Time magazine said that Branagh 's Cinderella successfully updates and revitalizes Disney 's `` ill - conceived '' animated film , and praised the empowered Ella , the visuals , and Blanchett 's performance . Katy Waldman of Slate similarly deemed the film a commendable and authentic upgrade that does not undermine its heroine while maintaining its classic splendor and charm . Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal commended James ' and Blanchett 's performances , the sets , costumes and minimal digital effects , as well as Branagh 's direction , stating he `` set a tone of lushly sustainable fantasy that 's often affecting , frequently witty , seldom cloying , nearly free of self - comment and entirely free of irony . '' Likewise , Claudia Puig of USA Today complimented the performances along with Branagh and screenwriter Chris Weitz for `` ground ( ing ) this romantic tale with sincerity amid the dazzle . '' Los Angeles Times ' Betsy Sharkey praised Blanchett 's and James ' performances and considered the film a `` poetically , if not prophetically , imagined storybook fable '' that succeeds because of its earnestness , humor , its lack of modern - day pretenses , and Branagh 's `` singular focus '' . Lawrence Toppman of The Charlotte Observer proclaimed , `` This version has more psychological depth than usual and answers questions we may always have had . Branagh 's ' Cinderella ' does something extraordinarily rare among fairy - tale adaptations : It leaves out nothing we want and adds nothing we do n't . '' Noting the religious themes and symbols of the film , cultural commentator Fr . Robert Barron writes that due to Branagh 's traditional telling of the story , `` he actually allows the spiritual -- indeed specifically Christian -- character of the tale to emerge .

The clause , which took effect in 1868 , provides `` nor shall any State ( ... ) deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws '' . A primary motivation for this clause was to validate the equality provisions contained in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 , which guaranteed that all citizens would have the guaranteed right to equal protection by law . As a whole , the Fourteenth Amendment marked a large shift in American constitutionalism , by applying substantially more constitutional restrictions against the states than had applied before the Civil War . The meaning of the Equal Protection Clause has been the subject of much debate , and inspired the well - known phrase `` Equal Justice Under Law '' . This clause was the basis for Brown v. Board of Education ( 1954 ) , the Supreme Court decision that helped to dismantle racial segregation , and also the basis for many other decisions rejecting discrimination against , and bigotry towards , people belonging to various groups . While the Equal Protection Clause itself applies only to state and local governments , the Supreme Court held in Bolling v. Sharpe ( 1954 ) that the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment nonetheless imposes various equal protection requirements on the federal government .

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States ; nor shall any State deprive any person of life , liberty , or property , without due process of law ; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws . ( emphasis added ) Background ( edit ) Congressman John Bingham of Ohio was the principal framer of the Equal Protection Clause . Before and during the Civil War , the Southern states violated the rights of free speech of pro-Union citizens , anti-slavery advocates , and northerners in general . During the Civil War , the Southern states stripped many white citizens of their state citizenship and banished them from the states , effectively confiscating their property . Shortly after the Union victory in the American Civil War , the Thirteenth Amendment was proposed by Congress and ratified by the states in 1865 , abolishing slavery . Many ex-Confederate states then adopted Black Codes following the war . These laws severely restricted the rights of blacks to hold property , including real property ( such as real estate ) and many forms of personal property , and to form legally enforceable contracts . These codes also created harsher criminal penalties for blacks than for whites . Because of the inequality these Black Codes imposed , Congress enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1866 . This Act provided that all those born in the United States were citizens ( contrary to the Supreme Court 's 1857 decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford ) , and required that `` citizens of every race and color ... ( have ) full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of person and property , as is enjoyed by white citizens . '' President Andrew Johnson vetoed the Civil Rights bill of 1866 amid concerns ( among other things ) that Congress did not have the constitutional authority to pass such a law . Such doubts were one factor that led Congress to begin to draft and debate what would become the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment . Moreover , Congress wanted to protect white Unionists who were under personal and legal attack in the former Confederacy . The effort was led by the Radical Republicans of both houses of Congress , including John Bingham , Charles Sumner , and Thaddeus Stevens . The most important among these , however , was Bingham , a Congressman from Ohio , who drafted the language of the Equal Protection Clause . The Southern states were opposed to the Civil Rights Act , but in 1865 Congress , exercising its power under Article I , section 5 , clause 1 of the Constitution , to `` be the Judge of the ... Qualifications of its own Members '' , had excluded Southerners from Congress , declaring that their states , having rebelled against the Union , could therefore not elect members to Congress . It was this fact -- the fact that the Fourteenth Amendment was enacted by a `` rump '' Congress -- that allowed the Equal Protection Clause to be passed by Congress and proposed to the states . Its ratification by the former Confederate states was made a condition of their reacceptance into the Union . During the debate in Congress , more than one version of the clause was considered . Here is the first version : `` The Congress shall have power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper to secure ... to all persons in the several states equal protection in the rights of life , liberty , and property . '' Bingham said about this version : `` It confers upon Congress power to see to it that the protection given by the laws of the States shall be equal in respect to life and liberty and property to all persons . '' The main opponent of the first version was Congressman Robert S. Hale of New York , despite Bingham 's public assurances that `` under no possible interpretation can it ever be made to operate in the State of New York while she occupies her present proud position . '' Hale ended up voting for the final version , however . When Senator Jacob Howard introduced that final version , he said : It prohibits the hanging of a black man for a crime for which the white man is not to be hanged . It protects the black man in his fundamental rights as a citizen with the same shield which it throws over the white man . Ought not the time to be now passed when one measure of justice is to be meted out to a member of one caste while another and a different measure is meted out to the member of another caste , both castes being alike citizens of the United States , both bound to obey the same laws , to sustain the burdens of the same Government , and both equally responsible to justice and to God for the deeds done in the body ? The 39th United States Congress proposed the Fourteenth Amendment on June 13 , 1866 . A difference between the initial and final versions of the clause was that the final version spoke not just of `` equal protection '' but of `` the equal protection of the laws '' . John Bingham said in January 1867 : `` no State may deny to any person the equal protection of the laws , including all the limitations for personal protection of every article and section of the Constitution ... '' By July 9 , 1868 , three - fourths of the states ( 28 of 37 ) ratified the amendment , and that is when the Equal Protection Clause became law . Early History following ratification ( edit ) Bingham said in a speech on March 31 , 1871 that the clause meant no State could deny to any one `` the equal protection of the Constitution of the United States ... ( or ) any of the rights which it guarantees to all men '' , nor deny to anyone `` any right secured to him either by the laws and treaties of the United States or of such State . '' At that time , the meaning of equality varied from one state to another . Four of the original thirteen states never passed any laws barring interracial marriage , and the other states were divided on the issue in the Reconstruction era . In 1872 , the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that the state 's ban on mixed - race marriage violated the `` cardinal principle '' of the 1866 Civil Rights Act and of the Equal Protection Clause . Almost a hundred years would pass before the U.S. Supreme Court followed that Alabama case ( Burns v. State ) in the case of Loving v. Virginia . In Burns , the Alabama Supreme Court said : Marriage is a civil contract , and in that character alone is dealt with by the municipal law . The same right to make a contract as is enjoyed by white citizens , means the right to make any contract which a white citizen may make . The law intended to destroy the distinctions of race and color in respect to the rights secured by it . As for public schooling , no states during this era of Reconstruction actually required separate schools for blacks . However , some states ( e.g. New York ) gave local districts discretion to set up schools that were deemed separate but equal . In contrast , Iowa and Massachusetts flatly prohibited segregated schools ever since the 1850s . Likewise , some states were more favorable to women 's legal status than others ; New York , for example , had been giving women full property , parental , and widow 's rights since 1860 , but not the right to vote . No state or territory allowed women 's suffrage when the Equal Protection Clause took effect in 1868 . In contrast , African American men had full voting rights in five states , at that time . Gilded Age interpretation and the Plessy decision ( edit ) In the United States , the year 1877 marked the end of Reconstruction and the start of the Gilded Age . The first truly landmark equal protection decision by the Supreme Court was Strauder v. West Virginia ( 1880 ) . A black man convicted of murder by an all - white jury challenged a West Virginia statute excluding blacks from serving on juries . Exclusion of blacks from juries , the Court concluded , was a denial of equal protection to black defendants , since the jury had been `` drawn from a panel from which the State has expressly excluded every man of ( the defendant 's ) race . '' At the same time , the Court explicitly allowed sexism and other types of discrimination , saying that states `` may confine the selection to males , to freeholders , to citizens , to persons within certain ages , or to persons having educational qualifications . We do not believe the Fourteenth Amendment was ever intended to prohibit this ... Its aim was against discrimination because of race or color . '' The Court that decided Plessy The next important postwar case was the Civil Rights Cases ( 1883 ) , in which the constitutionality of the Civil Rights Act of 1875 was at issue . The Act provided that all persons should have `` full and equal enjoyment of ... inns , public conveyances on land or water , theatres , and other places of public amusement . '' In its opinion , the Court explicated what has since become known as the `` state action doctrine '' , according to which the guarantees of the Equal Protection Clause apply only to acts done or otherwise `` sanctioned in some way '' by the state . Prohibiting blacks from attending plays or staying in inns was `` simply a private wrong '' . Justice John Marshall Harlan dissented alone , saying , `` I can not resist the conclusion that the substance and spirit of the recent amendments of the Constitution have been sacrificed by a subtle and ingenious verbal criticism . '' Harlan went on to argue that because ( 1 ) `` public conveyances on land and water '' use the public highways , and ( 2 ) innkeepers engage in what is `` a quasi-public employment '' , and ( 3 ) `` places of public amusement '' are licensed under the laws of the states , excluding blacks from using these services was an act sanctioned by the state . A few years later , Justice Stanley Matthews wrote the Court 's opinion in Yick Wo v. Hopkins ( 1886 ) . In it the word `` person '' from the 14th Amendment 's section has been given the broadest possible meaning by the U.S. Supreme Court : These provisions are universal in their application to all persons within the territorial jurisdiction , without regard to any differences of race , of color , or of nationality , and the equal protection of the laws is a pledge of the protection of equal laws . Thus , the Clause would not be limited to discrimination against African Americans , but would extend to other races , colors , and nationalities such as ( in this case ) legal aliens in the United States who are Chinese citizens . In its most contentious Gilded Age interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause , Plessy v. Ferguson ( 1896 ) , the Supreme Court upheld a Louisiana Jim Crow law that required the segregation of blacks and whites on railroads and mandated separate railway cars for members of the two races . The Court , speaking through Justice Henry B. Brown , ruled that the Equal Protection Clause had been intended to defend equality in civil rights , not equality in social arrangements . All that was therefore required of the law was reasonableness , and Louisiana 's railway law amply met that requirement , being based on `` the established usages , customs and traditions of the people . '' Justice Harlan again dissented . `` Every one knows , '' he wrote , that the statute in question had its origin in the purpose , not so much to exclude white persons from railroad cars occupied by blacks , as to exclude colored people from coaches occupied by or assigned to white persons ... ( I ) n view of the Constitution , in the eye of the law , there is in this country no superior , dominant , ruling class of citizens . There is no caste here . Our Constitution is color - blind , and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens . Such `` arbitrary separation '' by race , Harlan concluded , was `` a badge of servitude wholly inconsistent with the civil freedom and the equality before the law established by the Constitution . '' Harlan 's philosophy of constitutional colorblindness would eventually become more widely accepted , especially after World War II . It was also in the Gilded Age that a ruling by the Supreme Court included headnotes written by John C. Bancroft , a former railway company president . Bancroft , acting as court reporter , indicated in the headnotes that corporations were `` persons '' , while the actual court decision itself avoided specific statements regarding the Equal Protection Clause as applied to corporations . However , the legal concept of corporate personhood predates the Fourteenth Amendment . In the late 19th and early 20th centuries , the Clause was used to strike down numerous statutes applying to corporations . Since the New Deal , however , such invalidations have been rare . Between Plessy and Brown ( edit ) The U.S. Supreme Court Building opened in 1935 , inscribed with the words `` Equal Justice Under Law '' which were inspired by the Equal Protection Clause . The Plessy decision was not all bad for civil rights . For example , in Missouri ex rel . Gaines v. Canada ( 1938 ) , Lloyd Gaines was a black student at Lincoln University of Missouri , one of the historically black colleges in Missouri . He applied for admission to the law school at the all - white University of Missouri , since Lincoln did not have a law school , but was denied admission due solely to his race . The Supreme Court , applying the separate - but - equal principle of Plessy , held that a State offering a legal education to whites but not to blacks violated the Equal Protection Clause . In Shelley v. Kraemer ( 1948 ) , the Court showed increased willingness to find racial discrimination illegal . The Shelley case concerned a privately made contract that prohibited `` people of the Negro or Mongolian race '' from living on a particular piece of land . Seeming to go against the spirit , if not the exact letter , of The Civil Rights Cases , the Court found that , although a discriminatory private contract could not violate the Equal Protection Clause , the courts ' enforcement of such a contract could ; after all , the Supreme Court reasoned , courts were part of the state . The companion cases Sweatt v. Painter and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents , both decided in 1950 , paved the way for a series of school integration cases . In McLaurin , the University of Oklahoma had admitted McLaurin , an African - American , but had restricted his activities there : he had to sit apart from the rest of the students in the classrooms and library , and could eat in the cafeteria only at a designated table . A unanimous Court , through Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson , said that Oklahoma had deprived McLaurin of the equal protection of the laws : There is a vast difference -- a Constitutional difference -- between restrictions imposed by the state which prohibit the intellectual commingling of students , and the refusal of individuals to commingle where the state presents no such bar . The present situation , Vinson said , was the former . In Sweatt , the Court considered the constitutionality of Texas 's state system of law schools , which educated blacks and whites at separate institutions . The Court ( again through Chief Justice Vinson , and again with no dissenters ) invalidated the school system -- not because it separated students , but rather because the separate facilities were not equal . They lacked `` substantial equality in the educational opportunities '' offered to their students . All of these cases , as well as the upcoming Brown case , were litigated by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People . It was Charles Hamilton Houston , a Harvard Law School graduate and law professor at Howard University , who in the 1930s first began to challenge racial discrimination in the federal courts . Thurgood Marshall , a former student of Houston 's and the future Solicitor General and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court , joined him . Both men were extraordinarily skilled appellate advocates , but part of their shrewdness lay in their careful choice of which cases to litigate , selecting the best legal proving grounds for their cause . Brown and its consequences ( edit ) See also : Brown v. Board of Education When Earl Warren became Chief Justice in 1953 , Brown had already come before the Court . While Vinson was still Chief Justice , there had been a preliminary vote on the case at a conference of all nine justices . At that time , the Court had split , with a majority of the justices voting that school segregation did not violate the Equal Protection Clause . Warren , however , through persuasion and good - natured cajoling -- he had been an extremely successful Republican politician before joining the Court -- was able to convince all eight associate justices to join his opinion declaring school segregation unconstitutional . In that opinion , Warren wrote : To separate ( children in grade and high schools ) from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone ... We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of `` separate but equal '' has no place . Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal . Warren discouraged other justices , such as Robert H. Jackson , from publishing any concurring opinion ; Jackson 's draft , which emerged much later ( in 1988 ) , included this statement : `` Constitutions are easier amended than social customs , and even the North never fully conformed its racial practices to its professions '' . The Court set the case for re-argument on the question of how to implement the decision . In Brown II , decided in 1954 , it was concluded that since the problems identified in the previous opinion were local , the solutions needed to be so as well . Thus the court devolved authority to local school boards and to the trial courts that had originally heard the cases . ( Brown was actually a consolidation of four different cases from four different states . ) The trial courts and localities were told to desegregate with `` all deliberate speed '' . The Court that decided Brown Partly because of that enigmatic phrase , but mostly because of self - declared `` massive resistance '' in the South to the desegregation decision , integration did not begin in any significant way until the mid-1960s and then only to a small degree . In fact , much of the integration in the 1960s happened in response not to Brown but to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . The Supreme Court intervened a handful of times in the late 1950s and early 1960s , but its next major desegregation decision was not until Green v. School Board of New Kent County ( 1968 ) , in which Justice William J. Brennan , writing for a unanimous Court , rejected a `` freedom - of - choice '' school plan as inadequate . This was a significant decision ; freedom - of - choice plans had been very common responses to Brown . Under these plans , parents could choose to send their children to either a formerly white or a formerly black school . Whites almost never opted to attend black - identified schools , however , and blacks rarely attended white - identified schools . In response to Green , many Southern districts replaced freedom - of - choice with geographically based schooling plans ; because residential segregation was widespread , little integration was accomplished . In 1971 , the Court in Swann v. Charlotte - Mecklenburg Board of Education approved busing as a remedy to segregation ; three years later , though , in the case of Milliken v. Bradley ( 1974 ) , it set aside a lower court order that had required the busing of students between districts , instead of merely within a district . Milliken basically ended the Supreme Court 's major involvement in school desegregation ; however , up through the 1990s many federal trial courts remained involved in school desegregation cases , many of which had begun in the 1950s and 1960s . The curtailment of busing in Milliken v. Bradley is one of several reasons that have been cited to explain why equalized educational opportunity in the United States has fallen short of completion . In the view of various liberal scholars , the election of Richard Nixon in 1968 meant that the executive branch was no longer behind the Court 's constitutional commitments . Also , the Court itself decided in San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez ( 1973 ) that the Equal Protection Clause allows -- but does not require -- a state to provide equal educational funding to all students within the state . Moreover , the Court 's decision in Pierce v. Society of Sisters ( 1925 ) allowed families to opt out of public schools , despite `` inequality in economic resources that made the option of private schools available to some and not to others '' , as Martha Minow has put it . American public school systems , especially in large metropolitan areas , to a large extent are still de facto segregated . Whether due to Brown , or due to Congressional action , or due to societal change , the percentage of black students attending majority - black school districts decreased somewhat until the early 1980s , at which point that percentage began to increase . By the late 1990s , the percentage of black students in mostly minority school districts had returned to about what it was in the late 1960s . In Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 ( 2007 ) , the Court held that , if a school system became racially imbalanced due to social factors other than governmental racism , then the state is not as free to integrate schools as if the state had been at fault for the racial imbalance . This is especially evident in the charter school system where parents of students can pick which schools their children attend based on the amenities provided by that school and the needs of the child . It seems that race is a factor in the choice of charter school . Application to federal government ( edit ) By its terms , the clause restrains only state governments . However , the Fifth Amendment 's due process guarantee , beginning with Bolling v. Sharpe ( 1954 ) , has been interpreted as imposing some of the same restrictions on the federal government : `` Though the Fifth Amendment does not contain an equal protection clause , as does the Fourteenth Amendment which applies only to the States , the concepts of equal protection and due process are not mutually exclusive . '' In Lawrence v. Texas ( 2003 ) the Supreme Court added : `` Equality of treatment and the due process right to demand respect for conduct protected by the substantive guarantee of liberty are linked in important respects , and a decision on the latter point advances both interests '' Some scholars have argued that the Court 's decision in Bolling should have been reached on other grounds . For example , Michael W. McConnell has written that Congress never `` required that the schools of the District of Columbia be segregated . '' According to that rationale , the segregation of schools in Washington D.C. was unauthorized and therefore illegal . Tiered scrutiny ( edit ) Despite the undoubted importance of Brown , much of modern equal protection jurisprudence originated in other cases , though not everyone agrees about which other cases . Some scholars assert that the opinion of Justice Harlan Stone in United States v. Carolene Products Co. ( 1938 ) contained a footnote that was a critical turning point for equal protection jurisprudence , but that assertion is disputed . Whatever its precise origins , the basic idea of the modern approach is that more judicial scrutiny is triggered by purported discrimination that involves `` fundamental rights '' ( such as the right to procreation ) , and similarly more judicial scrutiny is also triggered if the purported victim of discrimination has been targeted because he or she belongs to a `` suspect classification '' ( such as a single racial group ) . This modern doctrine was pioneered in Skinner v. Oklahoma ( 1942 ) , which involved depriving certain criminals of the fundamental right to procreate : When the law lays an unequal hand on those who have committed intrinsically the same quality of offense and sterilizes one and not the other , it has made as invidious a discrimination as if it had selected a particular race or nationality for oppressive treatment . Until 1976 , the Supreme Court usually ended up dealing with discrimination by using one of two possible levels of scrutiny : what has come to be called `` strict scrutiny '' ( when a suspect class or fundamental right is involved ) , or instead the more lenient `` rational basis review '' . Strict scrutiny means that a challenged statute must be `` narrowly tailored '' to serve a `` compelling '' government interest , and must not have a `` less restrictive '' alternative . In contrast , rational basis scrutiny merely requires that a challenged statute be `` reasonably related '' to a `` legitimate '' government interest . However , in the 1976 case of Craig v. Boren , the Court added another tier of scrutiny , called `` intermediate scrutiny '' , regarding gender discrimination . The Court may have added other tiers too , such as `` enhanced rational basis '' scrutiny , and `` exceedingly persuasive basis '' scrutiny . All of this is known as `` tiered '' scrutiny , and it has had many critics , including Justice Thurgood Marshall who argued for a `` spectrum of standards in reviewing discrimination '' , instead of discrete tiers . Justice John Paul Stevens argued for only one level of scrutiny , given that `` there is only one Equal Protection Clause '' . The whole tiered strategy developed by the Court is meant to reconcile the principle of equal protection with the reality that most laws necessarily discriminate in some way . Choosing the standard of scrutiny can determine the outcome of a case , and the strict scrutiny standard is often described as `` strict in theory and fatal in fact '' . In order to select the correct level of scrutiny , Justice Antonin Scalia urged the Court to identify rights as `` fundamental '' or identify classes as `` suspect '' by analyzing what was understood when the Equal Protection Clause was adopted , instead of based upon more subjective factors . Discriminatory intent and disparate impact ( edit ) Main article : Disparate impact Because inequalities can be caused either intentionally or unintentionally , the Supreme Court has decided that the Equal Protection Clause itself does not forbid governmental policies that unintentionally lead to racial disparities , though Congress may have some power under other clauses of the Constitution to address unintentional disparate impacts . This subject was addressed in the seminal case of Arlington Heights v. Metropolitan Housing Corp. ( 1977 ) . In that case , the plaintiff , a housing developer , sued a city in the suburbs of Chicago that had refused to re-zone a plot of land on which the plaintiff intended to build low - income , racially integrated housing . On the face , there was no clear evidence of racially discriminatory intent on the part of Arlington Heights 's planning commission . The result was racially disparate , however , since the refusal supposedly prevented mostly African - Americans and Hispanics from moving in . Justice Lewis Powell , writing for the Court , stated , `` Proof of racially discriminatory intent or purpose is required to show a violation of the Equal Protection Clause . '' Disparate impact merely has an evidentiary value ; absent a `` stark '' pattern , `` impact is not determinative . '' The result in Arlington Heights was similar to that in Washington v. Davis ( 1976 ) , and has been defended on the basis that the Equal Protection Clause was not designed to guarantee equal outcomes , but rather equal opportunities ; if a legislature wants to correct unintentional but racially disparate effects , it may be able to do so through further legislation . It is possible for a discriminating state to hide its true intention , and one possible solution is for disparate impact to be considered as stronger evidence of discriminatory intent . This debate , though , is currently academic , since the Supreme Court has not changed its basic approach as outlined in Arlington Heights . For an example of how this rule limits the Court 's powers under the Equal Protection Clause , see McClesky v. Kemp ( 1987 ) . In that case a black man was convicted of murdering a white police officer and sentenced to death in the state of Georgia . A study found that killers of whites were more likely to be sentenced to death than were killers of blacks . The Court found that the defense had failed to prove that such data demonstrated the requisite discriminatory intent by the Georgia legislature and executive branch . Voting rights ( edit ) Justice John Marshall Harlan II sought to interpret the Equal Protection Clause in the context of Section 2 of the same amendment The Supreme Court ruled in Nixon v. Herndon ( 1927 ) that the Fourteenth Amendment prohibited denial of the vote based on race . The first modern application of the Equal Protection Clause to voting law came in Baker v. Carr ( 1962 ) , where the Court ruled that the districts that sent representatives to the Tennessee state legislature were so malapportioned ( with some legislators representing ten times the number of residents as others ) that they violated the Equal Protection Clause . It may seem counterintuitive that the Equal Protection Clause should provide for equal voting rights ; after all , it would seem to make the Fifteenth Amendment and the Nineteenth Amendment redundant . Indeed , it was on this argument , as well as on the legislative history of the Fourteenth Amendment , that Justice John M. Harlan ( the grandson of the earlier Justice Harlan ) relied in his dissent from Reynolds . Harlan quoted the congressional debates of 1866 to show that the framers did not intend for the Equal Protection Clause to extend to voting rights , and in reference to the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments , he said : If constitutional amendment was the only means by which all men and , later , women , could be guaranteed the right to vote at all , even for federal officers , how can it be that the far less obvious right to a particular kind of apportionment of state legislatures ... can be conferred by judicial construction of the Fourteenth Amendment ? ( Emphasis in the original . ) Harlan also relied on the fact that Section Two of the Fourteenth Amendment `` expressly recognizes the States ' power to deny ' or in any way ' abridge the right of their inhabitants to vote for ' the members of the ( state ) Legislature . ' '' Section Two of the Fourteenth Amendment provides a specific federal response to such actions by a state : reduction of a state 's representation in Congress . However , the Supreme Court has instead responded that voting is a `` fundamental right '' on the same plane as marriage ( Loving v. Virginia ) ; for any discrimination in fundamental rights to be constitutional , the Court requires the legislation to pass strict scrutiny . Under this theory , equal protection jurisprudence has been applied to voting rights . A recent use of equal protection doctrine came in Bush v. Gore ( 2000 ) . At issue was the controversial recount in Florida in the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election . There , the Supreme Court held that the different standards of counting ballots across Florida violated the equal protection clause . It was not this holding that proved especially controversial among commentators , and indeed , the proposition gained seven out of nine votes ; Justices Souter and Breyer joined the majority of five -- but only , it should be emphasized , for the finding that there was an Equal Protection violation . Much more controversial was the remedy that the Court chose , namely , the cessation of a statewide recount . Sex , disability , and sexual orientation ( edit ) Originally , the Fourteenth Amendment did not forbid sex discrimination to the same extent as other forms of discrimination . On the one hand , Section Two of the amendment specifically discouraged states from interfering with the voting rights of `` males '' , which made the amendment anathema to many women when it was proposed in 1866 . On the other hand , as feminists like Victoria Woodhull pointed out , the word `` person '' in the Equal Protection Clause was apparently chosen deliberately , instead of a masculine term that could have easily been used instead . In 1971 , the U.S. Supreme Court decided Reed v. Reed , extending the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to protect women from sex discrimination , in situations where there is no rational basis for the discrimination . That level of scrutiny was boosted to an intermediate level in Craig v. Boren ( 1976 ) . Each state can guarantee more equality than does the Equal Protection Clause . For example , the state of Wyoming granted women the right to vote even before the Nineteenth Amendment required it . The Supreme Court has been disinclined to extend full `` suspect classification '' status ( thus making a law that categorizes on that basis subject to greater judicial scrutiny ) for groups other than racial minorities and religious groups . In City of Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Center , Inc. ( 1985 ) , the Court refused to make the developmentally disabled a suspect class . Many commentators have noted , however -- and Justice Thurgood Marshall so notes in his partial concurrence -- that the Court did appear to examine the City of Cleburne 's denial of a permit to a group home for intellectually disabled people with a significantly higher degree of scrutiny than is typically associated with the rational - basis test . The Court 's decision in Romer v. Evans ( 1996 ) struck down a Colorado constitutional amendment aimed at denying homosexuals `` minority status , quota preferences , protected status or ( a ) claim of discrimination . '' The Court rejected as `` implausible '' the dissent 's argument that the amendment would not deprive homosexuals of general protections provided to everyone else but rather would merely prevent `` special treatment of homosexuals . '' Much as in City of Cleburne , the Romer decision seemed to employ a markedly higher level of scrutiny than the nominally applied rational - basis test . In Lawrence v. Texas ( 2003 ) , the Court struck down a Texas statute prohibiting homosexual sodomy on substantive due process grounds . In Justice Sandra Day O'Connor 's opinion concurring in the judgment , however , she argued that by prohibiting only homosexual sodomy , and not heterosexual sodomy as well , Texas 's statute did not meet rational - basis review under the Equal Protection Clause ; her opinion prominently cited City of Cleburne , and also relied in part on Romer . Notably , O'Connor's opinion did not claim to apply a higher level of scrutiny than mere rational basis , and the Court has not extended suspect - class status to sexual orientation . While the courts have applied rational - basis scrutiny to classifications based on sexual orientation , it has been argued that discrimination based on sex should be interpreted to include discrimination based on sexual orientation , in which case intermediate scrutiny could apply to gay rights cases . Other scholars disagree , arguing that `` homophobia '' is distinct from sexism , in a sociological sense , and so treating it as such would be an unacceptable judicial shortcut . In 2013 , the Court struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act , in United States v. Windsor . No state statute was in question , and therefore the Equal Protection Clause did not apply . The Court did employ similar principles , however , in combination with federalism principles . The Court did not purport to use any level of scrutiny more demanding than rational basis review , according to law professor Erwin Chemerinsky . The four dissenting justices argued that the authors of the statute were rational . In 2015 , the Supreme Court held in a 5 -- 4 decision that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same - sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and required all states to issue marriage licenses to same - sex couples and to recognize same - sex marriages validly performed in other jurisdictions . Affirmative action ( edit ) See also : Affirmative action in the United States Affirmative action is the consideration of race , gender , or other factors , to benefit an underrepresented group or to address past injustices done to that group . Individuals who belong to the group are preferred over those who do not belong to the group , for example in educational admissions , hiring , promotions , awarding of contracts , and the like . Such action may be used as a `` tie - breaker '' if all other factors are inconclusive , or may be achieved through quotas , which allot a certain number of benefits to each group . During Reconstruction , Congress enacted race - conscious programs primarily to assist newly freed slaves who had personally been denied many advantages earlier in their lives . Such legislation was enacted by many of the same people who framed the Equal Protection Clause , though that clause did not apply to such federal legislation , and instead only applied to state legislation . Likewise , the Equal Protection Clause does not apply to private universities and other private businesses , which are free to practice affirmative action unless prohibited by federal statute or state law . Several important affirmative action cases to reach the Supreme Court have concerned government contractors -- for instance , Adarand Constructors v. Peña ( 1995 ) and City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co. ( 1989 ) . But the most famous cases have dealt with affirmative action as practiced by public universities : Regents of the University of California v. Bakke ( 1978 ) , and two companion cases decided by the Supreme Court in 2003 , Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger . In Bakke , the Court held that racial quotas are unconstitutional , but that educational institutions could legally use race as one of many factors to consider in their admissions process . In Grutter and Gratz , the Court upheld both Bakke as a precedent and the admissions policy of the University of Michigan Law School . In dicta , however , Justice O'Connor , writing for the Court , said she expected that in 25 years , racial preferences would no longer be necessary . In Gratz , the Court invalidated Michigan 's undergraduate admissions policy , on the grounds that unlike the law school 's policy , which treated race as one of many factors in an admissions process that looked to the individual applicant , the undergraduate policy used a point system that was excessively mechanistic . In these affirmative action cases , the Supreme Court has employed , or has said it employed , strict scrutiny , since the affirmative action policies challenged by the plaintiffs categorized by race . The policy in Grutter , and a Harvard College admissions policy praised by Justice Powell 's opinion in Bakke , passed muster because the Court deemed that they were narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling interest in diversity . On one side , critics have argued -- including Justice Clarence Thomas in his dissent to Grutter -- that the scrutiny the Court has applied in some cases is much less searching than true strict scrutiny , and that the Court has acted not as a principled legal institution but as a biased political one . On the other side , it is argued that the purpose of the Equal Protection Clause is to prevent the socio - political subordination of some groups by others , not to prevent classification ; since this is so , non-invidious classifications , such as those used by affirmative action programs , should not be subjected to heightened scrutiny .

Its strong advocacy for the establishment of a separate Muslim - majority nation - state , Pakistan , successfully led to the partition of British India in 1947 by the British Empire . The party arose out of a literary movement begun at The Aligarh Muslim University in which Syed Ahmad Khan was a central figure . Sir Syed had founded , in 1886 , the Muhammadan Educational Conference , but a self - imposed ban prevented it from discussing politics . In December 1906 conference in Dhaka , attended by 3,000 delegates , the conference removed the ban and adopted a resolution to form an All Indian Muslim League political party . Its original political goal was to define and advance the Indian Muslim 's civil rights and to provide protection to the upper and gentry class of Indian Muslims . It remained an elitist organisation until 1937 , when the leadership began mobilising the Muslim masses and the League then became a popular organisation . Following in the 1930s , the idea of a separate nation - state and influential philosopher Sir Muhammad Iqbal 's vision of uniting the four provinces in North - West British India further supported the rationale of two - nation theory . Constitutional struggle of Jinnah and political struggle of founding fathers , the Muslim League played a decisive role in World War II in the 1940s and as the driving force behind the division of India along religious lines and the creation of Pakistan as a Muslim state in 1947 . The events leading the World War II , the Congress effective protest against the United Kingdom unilaterally involving India in the war without consulting with the Indian people ; the Muslim League went on to support the British war efforts , and later agitated against the Congress with the cry of `` Islam in Danger '' . After the partition and subsequent establishment of Pakistan , the Muslim League continued as a minor party in India where it was often part of the government . In Bangladesh , the Muslim League was revived in 1976 but it was reduced , rendering it insignificant in the political arena . In India Indian Union Muslim League and in Pakistan , the Pakisthan Muslim League became the original successors of the All - India Muslim League . Under the leadership Of Qaede millath Muhammad Ismail Sahib Muslim league is reconstituted in India. The founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah ( and after Jinnah 's death by Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan ) , but suffered with ill - fate following the military intervention in 1958 . One of its faction remained to supportive of President Ayub Khan until 1962 when the all factions decided to reform into the Pakistan Muslim League led by Nurul Amin supporting Fatima Jinnah in the presidential elections in 1965 . Furthermore , it was the only party to have received votes from both East and West Pakistan during the elections held in 1970 . During the successive periods of Pakistan , the Muslim League continued to be a ruling party in the different periods of Pakistan . Since 1985 , the Pakistan Muslim League split into various factions ; all factions which had little ideological connection with the original Muslim League . However , the PML - N remains to be influential faction than others , and has been in power during the elections held in 1990 and in the 1997 . As of current of 2013 elections , the PML - N remains to be a ruling party of Pakistan .

The All - India Muslim League ( AIML ) was formed with the help from the reformist Syed Ahmad Khan . His strong advocacy for British education and political activism had inspired Subhan Muslims to support the cause for the AIML . Originally hosting the All - India Muhammadan Educational Conference in 1886 in a vision to uplift the cause for the British education especially science and literature , among India 's Muslims . The conference , in addition to generating funds for Sir Syed 's Aligarh Muslim University ( AMU ) , motivated Muslim upper class to propose expansion of educational uplift elsewhere , known as the Aligarh Movement . In turn this new awareness of Muslim needs helped stimulate a political consciousness among Muslim elites that went on to form the AIML . The formation of a Subhan political party on national level was seen as essential by 1901 . The first stage of its formation was the meeting held at Lucknow in September 1906 , with participation of representatives from all over India . The decision for re-consideration to form the all Indian Muslim political party was taken and further proceedings were adjourned until the next meeting of All India Muhammadan Educational Conference . The Simla Deputation reconsidered the issue in October 1906 and decided to frame the objectives of the party on the occasion of the annual meeting of Educational Conference ; that was later , scheduled to be held at Dhaka . Meanwhile , Nawab Salimullah Khan published a detailed scheme through which he suggested the party to be named All - India Muslim Confederacy . Pursuant upon the decisions taken earlier in Lucknow meeting and later in Simla ; the annual meeting of the All - India Muhammadan Educational Conference was held at Dhaka that continued from 27 December , until 30 December 1906 . that was headed by both Nawab Waqar - ul - Mulk and Nawab Muhasan - ul - Mulk ( the Secretary of the Muhammaden Educational Conference ) ; in which he explained its objectives and stressed the unity of the Muslims under the banner of an association . It was formally proposed by Nawab Salimullah Khan and supported by Hakim Ajmal Khan , Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar , Zafar Ali Khan , Syed Nabiullah Bar at Law Lucknow and Syed Zahur Ahmad an eminent lawyer and several others . The political party was established at the end of the conference . The Founding meeting was hosted by Nawab Sir Khwaja Salimullah and attended by three thousand delegates , while Ameer Ali , Sir Mian Muhammad Shafi were also the founding fathers who attended this meeting . The name `` All - India Muslim League '' was proposed by Sir Mian Muhammad Shafi . Sir Agha Khan III was appointed its first president . Fifty eight delegates from all over the Subcontinent were the founding members of League . The League 's constitution was framed in 1907 in Karachi . In 1910 , Nawaab Syed Shamsul Huda selected as the president of the party . Early years ( edit ) Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah ( Aga Khan III ) was appointed the first Honorary President of the Muslim League . The headquarters were established at Lucknow . There were also six vice-presidents , a secretary and two joint secretaries initially appointed for a three - years term , proportionately from different provinces . The principles of the League were espoused in the `` Green Book , '' which included the organisation 's constitution , written by Maulana Mohammad Ali . Its goals at this stage did not include establishing an independent Muslim state , but rather concentrated on protecting Muslim liberties and rights , promoting understanding between the Muslim community and other Indians , educating the Muslim and Indian community at large on the actions of the government , and discouraging violence . Aga Khan III ( 1877 -- 1957 ) played a leading role in founding AIML ; his goal was the advancement of Muslim agendas and protection of Muslim rights in India . He shared Ahmad Khan 's belief that Muslims should first build up their social capital through advanced education before engaging in politics . Agha Khan boldly told the British Raj that Muslims must be considered a separate nation within India . Even after he resigned as president of the AIML in 1912 , he still exerted major influence on its policies and agendas . in 1913 Mohammed Ali Jinnah joined the Muslim league . Intellectual support and a cadre of young activists emerged from Aligarh Muslim University . Hasan reports that in the early 20th century , this Muslim institution , designed to prepare students for service to the British Raj , exploded into political activity . Until 1939 , the faculty and students supported an all - India nationalist movement . After 1939 , however , sentiment shifted dramatically toward a Muslim separatist movement , as students and faculty mobilised behind Jinnah and the Muslim League . Communalism grows ( edit ) Politically there was a degree of unity between Muslim and Hindu leaders after World War I , as typified by the Khilafat Movement . Relationships cooled sharply after that campaign ended in 1922 . Communalism grew rapidly , forcing the two groups apart . Major riots broke out in numerous cities , including 91 in U.P. alone . At the leadership level , the proportion of Muslims among delegates to Congress fell sharply , from 11 % in 1921 to under 4 % in 1924 . Muhammad Ali Jinnah became disillusioned with politics after the failure of his attempt to form a Hindu - Muslim alliance , and he spent most of the 1920s in Britain . The leadership of the League was taken over by , Sir Muhammad Iqbal , who in 1930 first put forward the demand for a separate Muslim state in India . The `` Two - Nation Theory '' , the belief that Hindus and Muslims were two different nations who could not live in one country , gained popularity among Muslims . The two - state solution was rejected by the Congress leaders , who favoured a united India based on composite national identity . Congress at all times rejected `` communalism '' -- that is , basing politics on religious identity . Iqbal 's policy of uniting the North - West Frontier Province , Baluchistan , Punjab , and Sindh into a new Muslim majority state became part of the League 's political platform . The League rejected the Committee report ( the Nehru Report ) , arguing that it gave too little representation ( only one quarter ) to Muslims , established Devanagari as the official language of the colony , and demanded that India turn into a de facto unitary state , with residuary powers resting at the centre -- the League had demanded at least one - third representation in the legislature and sizeable autonomy for the Muslim provinces . Jinnah reported a `` parting of the ways '' after his requests for minor amendments to the proposal were denied outright , and relations between the Congress and the League began to sour . Conception of Pakistan ( edit ) Main articles : Pakistan Movement and Allahabad Address On 29 December 1930 Sir Muhammad Iqbal delivered his monumental presidential address to the All India Muslim League annual session . He said : I would like to see Punjab , North - West Frontier Province ( now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ) , Sindh and Balochistan amalgamated into a single state . Self - government within the British Empire or without the British Empire , the formation of a consolidated North - West Indian Muslim state appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims , at least of North - West India . Sir Muhammad Iqbal did not use the word `` Pakistan '' in his address . According to some scholars , Iqbal had not presented the idea of a separate Muslim State ; rather he wanted a large Muslim province by amalgamating Punjab , Sindh , NWFP and Baluchistan into a big North - Western province within India . They argued that `` Iqbal never pleaded for any kind of partition of the country . Rather he was an ardent proponent of a ' true ' federal setup for India ... , and wanted a consolidated Muslim majority within the Indian Federation '' . Another Indian historian , Tara Chand , also held that Iqbal was not thinking in terms of partition of India , but in terms of a federation of autonomous states within India . Dr. Safdar Mehmood also asserted in a series of articles that in the Allahabad address Iqbal proposed a Muslim majority province within an Indian federation and not an independent state outside an Indian Federation . On 28 January 1933 , Choudhary Rahmat Ali , founder of the Pakistan National Movement , voiced his ideas in the pamphlet entitled `` Now or Never ; Are We to Live or Perish Forever ? '' In a subsequent book Rehmat Ali discussed the etymology in further detail . `` Pakistan ' is both a Persian and an Urdu word . It is composed of letters taken from the names of all our South Asia homelands ; that is , Punjab , Afghania , Kashmir , Sindh and Balochistan . It means the land of the Pure '' . The British and the Indian Press vehemently criticised these two different schemes and created a confusion about the authorship of the word `` Pakistan '' to such an extent that even Jawaharlal Nehru had to write : Iqbal was one of the early advocates of Pakistan and yet he appears to have realised its inherent danger and absurdity . Edward Thompson has written that in the course of conversation , Iqbal told him that he had advocated Pakistan because of his position as President of Muslim League session , but he felt sure that it would be injurious to India as a whole and to Muslims especially . Campaign for Pakistan ( edit ) Main article : Pakistan Movement Muslim League Working Committee at the Lahore session Chaudhry Khaliquzzaman seconding the Resolution with Jinnah and Liaquat presiding the session . Until 1937 the Muslim League had remained an organisation of elite Indian Muslims . The Muslim League leadership then began mass mobilisation and the League then became a popular party with the Muslim masses in the 1940s , especially after the Lahore Resolution . Under Jinnah 's leadership its membership grew to over two million and became more religious and even separatist in its outlook . The Muslim League 's earliest base was the United Provinces . The Muslim League successfully mobilised the religious community in the United Provinces in the late 1930s . Jinnah worked closely with local politicians . However , there was a lack of uniform political voice by the League during the 1938 -- 1939 Madhe Sahaba riots of Lucknow . From 1937 onwards , the Muslim League and Jinnah attracted large crowds throughout India in its processions and strikes . At a League conference in Lahore in 1940 , Jinnah said : Hindus and the Muslims belong to two different religions , philosophies , social customs and literature ... It is quite clear that Hindus and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history . They have different epics , different heroes and different episodes ... To yoke together two such nations under a single state , one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority , must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be so built up for the government of such a state . In response to Jinnah 's speech , the All - India Jamhur Muslim League ( AIJML ) was formed to counter the move of Jinnah on his support for Sir Syed 's two - nation theory and to oppose the creation of Pakistan . The Raja of Mahmoodabad was elected its president and Maghfoor Ahmad Ajazi was its first general secretary . Perhaps it was the first split of Muslim League on ideological ground . This party however merged with Indian Congress latter on to strengthen its views on partition . At Lahore the Muslim League formally recommitted itself to creating an independent Muslim state , including Sindh , Punjab , Baluchistan , the North West Frontier Province and Bengal , that would be `` wholly autonomous and sovereign '' . The resolution guaranteed protection for non-Muslim religions . The Lahore Resolution , moved by the sitting Chief Minister of Bengal A.K. Fazlul Huq , was adopted on 23 March 1940 , and its principles formed the foundation for Pakistan 's first constitution . Talks between Jinnah and Gandhi in 1944 in Bombay failed to achieve agreement . This was the last attempt to reach a single - state solution . First Session of All India Jamhur Muslim League In the 1940s , Jinnah emerged as a leader of the Indian Muslims and was popularly known as Quaid - e-Azam ( lit . Great Leader ) . In the Constituent Assembly of India 's elections of 1946 , the Muslim League won 425 out of 476 seats reserved for Muslims ( and about 89.2 % of Muslim votes ) on a policy of creating an independent state of Pakistan , and with an implied threat of secession if this was not granted . Congress , led by Gandhi and Nehru remained adamantly opposed to dividing India . However , 1947 saw violent and bloody battles caused due to the communal clashes between the two communities in India . Millions of people migrated from India to Pakistan and vice versa . The situation continued to be tense even after the governments of the two nations were formed . The partition seems to have been inevitable after all , one of the examples being Lord Mountbatten 's statement on Jinnah : `` There was no argument that could move him from his consuming determination to realize the impossible dream of Pakistan . '' Impact on the future courses of Subcontinent ( edit ) Pakistan ( edit ) Main articles : Politics in Pakistan and Pakistan Muslim League After the partition of British Indian Empire , the Muslim League played a major role in giving the birth of modern conservatism and the introduction of the democratic process in the country . From 1947 -- 51 , Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan spearheaded the Muslim League 's government until 1955 when Awami League came to power with Huseyn Suhrawardy becoming the Prime Minister . After Jinnah and Ali Khan , Nazimuddin struggled to lead the party , primarily due to lack of its social programmes . During this time , the Republican Party , led by Iskander Mirza , had taken over the credibility and prestige of Muslim League in all over the country . In 1958 , the Muslim League nearly lost its influence when General Ayub Khan , army chief at that time , imposed martial law to with the support of Republican President Iskander Mirza against Prime Minister Feroz Khan Noon , a leader of Muslim League . The Federative constitution allowed the ailing Muslim League to be reformed itself as the Pakistan Muslim League ( PML ) and endorsed for Fatima Jinnah for the presidential bid in 1965 . However , one of its convention actively supported President Ayub Khan . India ( edit ) Main article : Indian Union Muslim League With the partition of British Indian Empire , the Muslim League lost all influence in the United Provinces and Indian states with significant Muslim population . In 1948 , the Indian Muslim League was formed as breakaway faction of the Muslim League by those members who did not migrate to Pakistan . During its successive periods , the Indian Muslim League remained a part of the Kerala government ; nonetheless , the Indian Muslim League disintegrated after the general elections of 1980 . Many of its leaders later joined Congress and some migrated to Pakistan . The party has still has a stronghold in northern Kerala and is the second largest party within the present ruling coalition in the state . Bangladesh ( edit ) Main article : Awami League The Muslim League formed its government in East Bengal immediately after partition of Bengal , with Nurul Amin becoming the first Chief Minister . Problems in East Pakistan for Muslim League began rise following the issue of Constitution . Furthermore , the language movement proved to be a last event that led the Muslim League to lose its mandate in the East Bengal . Muslim League 's national conservatism program also faced several set back and resistance from the Communist Party of Pakistan . In an interview given to print media , Nurul Amin stated that the communists had played an integral and major role in staging the massive protests , mass demonstration , and strikes for the Bengali Language Movement . All over the country , the political parties had favoured the general elections in Pakistan with the exception of Muslim League . In 1954 , the legislative elections were to be held for the Parliament . Unlike in West , not all of the Hindu population migrated to India , instead a large number of Hindu population was in fact presented in the state . The communist influence deepened and was finally realised in the elections . The United Front , Communist Party and the Awami League returned to power , inflicting a severe defeat to Muslim League . Out of 309 , the Muslim League only won 10 seats , whereas the communist party had 4 seats of the ten contested . The communists working with other parties had secured 22 additional seats , totalling 26 seats . The right - wing Jamaat - e-Islami had completely failed in the elections . In 1955 , the United Front named Abu Hussain Sarkar as the Chief minister of the State who ruled the state in two non-consecutive terms until 1958 when the martial law was imposed . The Muslim League remained to be a minor party in East Pakistan but participated with full rigour during the general elections in 1970 . It had won 10 seats from East Pakistan and 7 seats from other parts of Pakistan . After the independence of Bangladesh , the Muslim League was revived in 1976 but it was reduced , rendering it insignificant in the political arena . United Kingdom ( edit ) During the 1940s , the Muslim League had a United Kingdom section active in the British politics . After the establishment of Pakistan , the Pakistani community 's leaders took over the UK branch , making Zubeida Habib Rahimtoola as president of party to continue to serve its purpose in the United Kingdom . As of current , the Muslim League 's UK branch is taken over by the PML - N , with Zubair Gull its president , and Nawaz Sharif serving its patron - in - chief . Historical versions ( edit ) Historically , Pakistan Muslim League can also refer to any of the following political parties in Pakistan : Muslim League , the original successor of All - India Muslim League , which was disbanded on first martial law . Convention Muslim League , a political platform created by General Ayub Khan in 1962 when he became the president . Council Muslim League , a party created by political leaders who opposed General Ayub Khan . Muslim League , a party created by Khan Abdul Qayyum Khan when he split with the Council Muslim League to run for the 1970 general elections .

who presided over the first session of muslim league at dhaka
[ "The formation of a Subhan political party on national level was seen as essential by 1901. The first stage of its formation was the meeting held at Lucknow in September 1906, with participation of representatives from all over India. The decision for re-consideration to form the all Indian Muslim political party was taken and further proceedings were adjourned until the next meeting of All India Muhammadan Educational Conference. The Simla Deputation reconsidered the issue in October 1906 and decided to frame the objectives of the party on the occasion of the annual meeting of Educational Conference; that was later, scheduled to be held at Dhaka. Meanwhile, Nawab Salimullah Khan published a detailed scheme through which he suggested the party to be named All-India Muslim Confederacy. Pursuant upon the decisions taken earlier in Lucknow meeting and later in Simla; the annual meeting of the All-India Muhammadan Educational Conference was held at Dhaka that continued from 27 December, until 30 December 1906. that was headed by both Nawab Waqar-ul-Mulk and Nawab Muhasan-ul-Mulk (the Secretary of the Muhammaden Educational Conference); in which he explained its objectives and stressed the unity of the Muslims under the banner of an association.[12] It was formally proposed by Nawab Salimullah Khan and supported by Hakim Ajmal Khan, Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar, Zafar Ali Khan, Syed Nabiullah Bar at Law Lucknow and Syed Zahur Ahmad an eminent lawyer and several others. The political party was established at the end of the conference.[1] The Founding meeting was hosted by Nawab Sir Khwaja Salimullah and attended by three thousand delegates, while Ameer Ali, Sir Mian Muhammad Shafi were also the founding fathers who attended this meeting. The name \"All-India Muslim League\" was proposed by Sir Mian Muhammad Shafi. Sir Agha Khan III was appointed its first president. Fifty eight delegates from all over the Subcontinent were the founding members of League.[13] The League's constitution was framed in 1907 in Karachi. In 1910, Nawaab Syed Shamsul Huda selected as the president of the party.[14]\n" ]

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of Matthew - wikipedia Gospel of Matthew For the film , see The Gospel According to St. Matthew ( film ) . 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 Matthew ( Greek : Τὸ κατὰ Ματθαῖον εὐαγγέλιον , translit . Tò katà Matthaīon euangélion ; also called the Gospel of Matthew or simply , Matthew ) is the first book of the New Testament and one of the three synoptic gospels . It tells how the Messiah , Jesus , rejected by Israel , finally sends the disciples to preach the gospel to the whole world . Most scholars believe it was composed between AD 80 and 90 , with a range of possibility between AD 70 to 110 ( a pre-70 date remains a minority view ) . The anonymous author was probably a male Jew , standing on the margin between traditional and non-traditional Jewish values , and familiar with technical legal aspects of scripture being debated in his time . Writing in a polished Semitic `` synagogue Greek '' , he drew on three main sources : the Gospel of Mark , the hypothetical collection of sayings known as the Q source , and material unique to his own community , called the M source or `` Special Matthew '' . The divine nature of Jesus was a major issue for the Matthaean community , the crucial element separating the early Christians from their Jewish neighbors ; while Mark begins with Jesus ' baptism and temptations , Matthew goes back to Jesus ' origins , showing him as the Son of God from his birth , the fulfillment of Old Testament messianic prophecies . The title Son of David identifies Jesus as the healing and miracle - working Messiah of Israel ( it is used exclusively in relation to miracles ) , sent to Israel alone . As Son of Man he will return to judge the world , an expectation which his disciples recognise but of which his enemies are unaware . As Son of God he is God revealing himself through his son , and Jesus proving his sonship through his obedience and example . The gospel reflects the struggles and conflicts between the evangelist 's community and the other Jews , particularly with its sharp criticism of the scribes and Pharisees . Prior to the Crucifixion the Jews are called Israelites , the honorific title of God 's chosen people ; after it , they are called `` Ioudaioi '' , Jews , a sign that through their rejection of the Christ the `` Kingdom of Heaven '' has been taken away from them and given instead to the church .

Dated to late 2nd or early 3rd century , it is the earliest manuscript title for Matthew P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) , a 3rd - century papyrus of Matthew 26 Manuscripts ( edit ) The oldest relatively complete manuscripts of the Bible are the Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus , which date from the 4th century . Besides these , there exist manuscript fragments ranging from a few verses to whole chapters . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) and P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) are notable fragments of Matthew . These are copies of copies . In the process of recopying , variations slipped in , different regional manuscript traditions emerged , and corrections and adjustments were made . Modern textual scholars collate all major surviving manuscripts , as well as citations in the works of the Church Fathers , in order to produce a text which most likely approximates to the lost autographs . Authorship and sources ( edit ) The gospel itself does not specify an author , but he was probably a male Jew , standing on the margin between traditional and non-traditional Jewish values , and familiar with technical legal aspects of scripture being debated in his time . The majority of modern scholars believe that Mark was the first gospel to be composed and that Matthew ( who includes some 600 of Mark 's 661 verses ) and Luke both drew upon it as a major source for their works . The author of Matthew did not , however , simply copy Mark , but used it as a base , emphasising Jesus ' place in the Jewish tradition and including other details not covered in Mark . An additional 220 ( approximately ) verses , shared by Matthew and Luke but not found in Mark , from a second source , a hypothetical collection of sayings to which scholars give the name `` Quelle '' ( `` source '' in the German language ) , or the Q source . This view , known as the Two - source hypothesis ( Mark and Q ) , allows for a further body of tradition known as `` Special Matthew '' , or the M source , meaning material unique to Matthew ; this may represent a separate source , or it may come from the author 's church , or he may have composed these verses himself . The author also had the Greek scriptures at his disposal , both as book - scrolls ( Greek translations of Isaiah , the Psalms etc . ) and in the form of `` testimony collections '' ( collections of excerpts ) , and , if Papias is correct , probably oral stories of his community . These sources were predominantly in Greek , but mostly not from any known version of the Septuagint ; although a few scholars hold that some of them may have been Greek translations of older Hebrew or Aramaic sources . Setting and date ( edit ) The majority view among scholars is that Matthew was a product of the last quarter of the 1st century . This makes it a work of the second generation of Christians , for whom the defining event was the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Romans in AD 70 in the course of the First Jewish -- Roman War ( AD 66 -- 73 ) ; from this point on , what had begun with Jesus of Nazareth as a Jewish messianic movement became an increasingly Gentile phenomenon evolving in time into a separate religion . The Christian community to which Matthew belonged , like many 1st - century Christians , was still part of the larger Jewish community : hence the designation Jewish Christian to describe them . The relationship of Matthew to this wider world of Judaism remains a subject of study and contention , the principal question being to what extent , if any , Matthew 's community had cut itself off from its Jewish roots . Certainly there was conflict between Matthew 's group and other Jewish groups , and it is generally agreed that the root of the conflict was the Matthew community 's belief in Jesus as the Messiah and authoritative interpreter of the law , as one risen from the dead and uniquely endowed with divine authority . The author of Matthew wrote for a community of Greek - speaking Jewish Christians located probably in Syria ( Antioch , the largest city in Roman Syria and the third - largest in the empire , is often mentioned ) . Unlike Mark , Matthew never bothers to explain Jewish customs , since his intended audience was a Jewish one ; unlike Luke , who traces Jesus ' ancestry back to Adam , father of the human race , he traces it only to Abraham , father of the Jews ; of his three presumed sources only `` M '' , the material from his own community , refers to a `` church '' ( ecclesia ) , an organised group with rules for keeping order ; and the content of `` M '' suggests that this community was strict in keeping the Jewish law , holding that they must exceed the scribes and the Pharisees in `` righteousness '' ( adherence to Jewish law ) . Writing from within a Jewish - Christian community growing increasingly distant from other Jews and becoming increasingly Gentile in its membership and outlook , Matthew put down in his gospel his vision `` of an assembly or church in which both Jew and Gentile would flourish together '' .

'' ( see Five Discourses of Matthew ) . Some scholars see in this a deliberate plan to create a parallel to the first five books of the Old Testament ; others see a three - part structure based around the idea of Jesus as Messiah ; or a set of weekly readings spread out over the year ; or no plan at all . Davies and Allison , in their widely used commentary , draw attention to the use of `` triads '' ( the gospel groups things in threes ) , and R.T. France , in another influential commentary , notes the geographic movement from Galilee to Jerusalem and back , with the post-resurrection appearances in Galilee as the culmination of the whole story . Prologue : genealogy , nativity and infancy ( edit ) Main articles : Genealogy of Jesus and Nativity of Jesus The Gospel of Matthew begins with the words `` The Book of Genealogy ( in Greek , `` Genesis '' ) of Jesus Christ `` , deliberately echoing the words of Genesis 2 : 4 in the Old Testament in Greek . The genealogy tells of Jesus ' descent from Abraham and King David and the miraculous events surrounding his virgin birth , and the infancy narrative tells of the massacre of the innocents , the flight into Egypt , and eventual journey to Nazareth . First narrative and discourse ( edit ) Main articles : Baptism of Jesus and Sermon on the Mount The first narrative section begins . John baptizes Jesus , and the Holy Spirit descends upon him . Jesus prays and meditates in the wilderness for forty days , and is tempted by Satan . His early ministry by word and deed in Galilee meets with much success , and leads to the Sermon on the Mount , the first of the discourses . The sermon presents the ethics of the kingdom of God , introduced by the Beatitudes ( `` Blessed are ... '' ) . It concludes with a reminder that the response to the kingdom will have eternal consequences , and the crowd 's amazed response leads into the next narrative block . Second narrative and discourse ( edit ) From the authoritative words of Jesus the gospel turns to three sets of three miracles interwoven with two sets of two discipleship stories ( the second narrative ) , followed by a discourse on mission and suffering . Jesus commissions the Twelve Disciples and sends them to preach to the Jews , perform miracles , and prophesy the imminent coming of the Kingdom , commanding them to travel lightly , without staff or sandals . Third narrative and discourse ( edit ) Opposition to Jesus comes to a head with accusations that his deeds are done through the power of Satan ; Jesus in turn accuses his opponents of blaspheming the Holy Spirit . The discourse is a set of parables emphasising the sovereignty of God , and concluding with a challenge to the disciples to understand the teachings as scribes of the kingdom of heaven . ( Matthew avoids using the holy word God in the expression `` Kingdom of God '' ; instead he prefers the term `` Kingdom of Heaven '' , reflecting the Jewish tradition of not speaking the name of God ) . Fourth narrative and discourse ( edit ) Main article : Confession of Peter The fourth narrative section reveals that the increasing opposition to Jesus will result in his crucifixion in Jerusalem , and that his disciples must therefore prepare for his absence . The instructions for the post-crucifixion church emphasize responsibility and humility . ( This section contains Matthew 16 : 13 -- 19 , in which Simon , newly renamed Peter , ( πέτρος , petros , meaning `` stone '' ) , calls Jesus `` the Christ , the son of the living God '' , and Jesus states that on this `` bedrock '' ( πέτρα , petra ) he will build his church : this passage forms the foundation for the papacy 's claim of authority ) . Fifth narrative and discourse ( edit ) Main article : Second Coming Jesus travels toward Jerusalem , and the opposition intensifies : he is tested by Pharisees as soon as he begins to move towards the city , and when he arrives he is soon in conflict with the Temple 's traders and religious leaders . He teaches in the Temple , debating with the chief priests and religious leaders and speaking in parables about the Kingdom of God and the failings of the chief priests and the Pharisees . The Herodian caucus also become involved in a scheme to entangle Jesus ( Matthew 22 : 15 -- 16 ) , but Jesus ' careful response to their enquiry , `` Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar 's , and to God the things that are God 's '' ( Matthew 22 : 21 ) , leaves them marveling at his words ( Matthew 22 : 22 ) . The disciples ask about the future , and in his final discourse ( the Olivet Discourse ) Jesus speaks of the coming end . There will be false Messiahs , earthquakes , and persecutions , the sun , moon , and stars will fail , but `` this generation '' will not pass away before all the prophecies are fulfilled . The disciples must steel themselves for ministry to all the nations . At the end of the discourse , Matthew notes that Jesus has finished all his words , and attention turns to the crucifixion . Conclusion : passion , resurrection and Great Commission ( edit ) The events of Jesus ' last week occupy a third of the content of all four gospels . Jesus enters Jerusalem in triumph and drives the money changers from the temple , holds a last supper , prays to be spared the coming agony ( but concludes `` if this cup may not pass away from me , except I drink it , thy will be done '' ) , and is betrayed . He is tried by the Jewish leaders ( the Sanhedrin ) and before Pontius Pilate , and Pilate washes his hands to indicate that he does not assume responsibility . Jesus is crucified as king of the Jews , mocked by all . On his death there is an earthquake , the veil of the Temple is rent , and saints rise from their tombs . Mary Magdalene and another Mary discover the empty tomb , guarded by an angel , and Jesus himself tells them to tell the disciples to meet him in Galilee . After the resurrection the remaining disciples return to Galilee , `` to the mountain that Jesus had appointed '' , where he comes to them and tells them that he has been given `` all authority in heaven and on Earth . '' He gives the Great Commission : `` Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit , teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you '' . Jesus will be with them `` to the very end of the age '' . Theology ( edit ) Woodcut from Anton Koberger 's Bible ( Nuremberg , 1483 ) : The angelically inspired Saint Matthew musters the Old Testament figures , led by Abraham and David Christology ( edit ) Christology is the theological doctrine of Christ , `` the affirmations and definitions of Christ 's humanity and deity '' . There is a variety of Christologies in the New Testament , albeit with a single centre -- Jesus is the figure in whom God has acted for mankind 's salvation . Matthew has taken over his key Christological texts from Mark , but sometimes he has changed the stories he found in Mark , giving evidence of his own concerns . The title Son of David identifies Jesus as the healing and miracle - working Messiah of Israel ( it is used exclusively in relation to miracles ) , and the Jewish messiah is sent to Israel alone . As Son of Man he will return to judge the world , a fact his disciples recognise but of which his enemies are unaware . As Son of God he is named Immanuel ( God with us ) ( Matthew 1 : 23 ) , God revealing himself through his son , and Jesus proving his sonship through his obedience and example . Relationship with the Jews ( edit ) Matthew 's prime concern was that the Jewish tradition should not be lost in a church that was increasingly becoming gentile . This concern lies behind the frequent citations of Jewish scripture , the evocation of Jesus as the new Moses along with other events from Jewish history , and the concern to present Jesus as fulfilling , not destroying , the Law . Matthew must have been aware of the tendency to distort Paul 's teaching of the law no longer having power over the New Testament Christian into antinomianism , and addressed Christ 's fulfilling of what the Israelites expected from the `` Law and the Prophets '' in an eschatological sense , in that he was all that the Old Testament had predicted in the Messiah . The gospel has been interpreted as reflecting the struggles and conflicts between the evangelist 's community and the other Jews , particularly with its sharp criticism of the scribes and Pharisees . Prior to the Crucifixion the Jews are called Israelites , the honorific title of God 's chosen people ; after it , they are called `` Ioudaioi '' , Jews , a sign that through their rejection of the Christ the `` Kingdom of Heaven '' has been taken away from them and given instead to the church . Comparison with other Writings ( edit ) Christological development ( edit ) The divine nature of Jesus was a major issue for the community of Matthew , the crucial element marking them from their Jewish neighbors . Early understandings of this nature grew as the gospels were being written . Before the gospels , that understanding was focused on the revelation of Jesus as God in his resurrection , but the gospels reflect a broadened focus extended backwards in time . The gospel of Mark recounts prior revelations in Jesus ' lifetime on earth , at his baptism and transfiguration . Matthew and Luke go back further still , showing Jesus as the Son of God from his birth . Matthew more than all the other gospels identifies how his coming to earth was the fulfillment of many Old Testament prophecies . Finally John calls God the Word ( Jesus ) pre-existent before creation , and thus before all time . Matthew is a creative reinterpretation of Mark , stressing Jesus ' teachings as much as his acts , and making subtle changes in order to stress his divine nature : for example , Mark 's `` young man '' who appears at Jesus ' tomb becomes `` a radiant angel '' in Matthew . The miracle stories in Mark do not demonstrate the divinity of Jesus , but rather confirm his status as an emissary of God ( which was Mark 's understanding of the Messiah ) . Chronology ( edit ) There is a broad disagreement over chronology between Matthew , Mark and Luke on one hand and John on the other : all four agree that Jesus ' public ministry began with an encounter with John the Baptist , but Matthew , Mark and Luke follow this with an account of teaching and healing in Galilee , then a trip to Jerusalem where there is an incident in the Temple , climaxing with the crucifixion on the day of the Passover holiday . John , by contrast , puts the Temple incident very early in Jesus ' ministry , has several trips to Jerusalem , and puts the crucifixion immediately before the Passover holiday , on the day when the lambs for the Passover meal were being sacrificed in Temple .

who is generally accepted to be the author of the gospel of matthew
[ "The Gospel According to Matthew (Greek: Τὸ κατὰ Ματθαῖον εὐαγγέλιον, translit. Tò katà Matthaīon euangélion; also called the Gospel of Matthew or simply, Matthew) is the first book of the New Testament and one of the three synoptic gospels. It tells how the Messiah, Jesus, rejected by Israel, finally sends the disciples to preach the gospel to the whole world.[1] Most scholars believe it was composed between AD 80 and 90, with a range of possibility between AD 70 to 110 (a pre-70 date remains a minority view).[2][3] The anonymous author was probably a male Jew, standing on the margin between traditional and non-traditional Jewish values, and familiar with technical legal aspects of scripture being debated in his time.[4] Writing in a polished Semitic \"synagogue Greek\", he drew on three main sources: the Gospel of Mark, the hypothetical collection of sayings known as the Q source, and material unique to his own community, called the M source or \"Special Matthew\".[5][6]\n" ]

Catechism of a Revolutionary
Catechism of a revolutionary - wikipedia Catechism of a revolutionary Anarchist and nihilist revolutionary Sergey Nechayev ( 1847 -- 1882 ) The Catechism of a Revolutionary refers to a manifesto written by Russian revolutionary Sergey Nechayev between April and August 1869 . Contents 1 The Manifesto 2 Criticism 3 See also 4 Footnotes 5 References 6 External links The manifesto ( edit ) The manifesto is a manual for the formation of secret societies . It is debated how much input Mikhail Bakunin had or if it is solely the work of Nechayev . The work called for total devotion to a revolutionary lifestyle . Its publication in the Government Herald in July 1871 as the manifesto of the Narodnaya Rasprava secret society ( `` Общество народной расправы '' ) was one of the most dramatic events of Nechayev 's revolutionary life , through its words and the actions it inspired establishing Nechayev 's importance for the Nihilist movement . The Catechism is divided into two sections ; General Rules of the Organisation and Rules of Conduct of Revolutionaries , 22 and 26 paragraphs long respectively ; abridged versions were published as excerpts in the anarchist periodicals Freiheit and The Alarm . The most radical document of its age , the Catechism outlined the authors ' revolutionary Jacobin program of organisation and discipline , a program that became the backbone of the radical movement in Russia . The revolutionary is portrayed in the Catechism as an amoral avenging angel , an expendable resource in the service of the revolution , committed to any crime or treachery necessary to effect the downfall of the prevailing order . The revolutionary is a doomed man . He has no private interests , no affairs , sentiments , ties , property nor even a name of his own . His entire being is devoured by one purpose , one thought , one passion - the revolution . Heart and soul , not merely by word but by deed , he has severed every link with the social order and with the entire civilized world ; with the laws , good manners , conventions , and morality of that world . He is its merciless enemy and continues to inhabit it with only one purpose - to destroy it . -- -- Catechism of a Revolutionary , opening lines . Criticism ( edit ) Critics of anarchism argue that the Catechism reflects the innately violent and nihilistic nature of the philosophy . Scholar Michael Allen Gillespie has hailed the Catechism as `` a pre-eminent expression of the doctrine of freedom and negation '' that arose in the Fichtean notion of the `` Absolute I '' that had been concealed in Left Hegelianism . Prominent Black Panther of the 20th century Eldridge Cleaver adopted the Catechism as a `` revolutionary bible '' , incorporating it into his daily life to the extent that he employed , in his words , `` tactics of ruthlessness in my dealings with everyone with whom I came into contact '' . The ideas and sentiments in the work had been in part previously aired by Zaichnevsky and Nikolai Ishutin in Russia , and by Carbonari and Young Italy in the West . The journal Cahiers du monde russe et soviétique published a letter from Bakunin to Nechayev , in which Bakunin wrote , `` You remember how you were angry with me , when I called you abrek and called your Catechism the Catechism of abreks ? '' See also ( edit ) Russian nihilist movement Anarchism and violence Professional revolutionaries The Demons , an 1872 novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky influenced by the events surrounding the publication of the Catechism .

It underwent a major revision in 2002 . In 2004 , the test 's percentile rank scoring system was renormalized , to ensure that a score of 50 % really did represent doing better than exactly 50 % of the test takers . Categories ( edit ) Current ( edit ) The ASVAB currently contains 10 sections ( except the written test , which contains 9 sections ) . The duration of each test varies from as low as ten minutes up to 36 minutes for Arithmetic Reasoning ; the entire ASVAB is three hours long . The test is typically administered in a computerized format at Military Entrance Processing Stations , known as MEPS , or at a satellite location called a Military Entrance Test ( MET ) site . The ASVAB is administered by computer at the MEPS , while a written version is given at most MET sites . Testing procedures vary depending on the mode of administration . Computerized test format ( edit ) General Science ( GS ) -- 16 questions in 8 minutes Arithmetic Reasoning ( AR ) -- 16 questions in 39 minutes Word Knowledge ( WK ) -- 16 questions in 8 minutes Paragraph Comprehension ( PC ) -- 11 questions in 22 minutes Mathematics Knowledge ( MK ) -- 16 questions in 20 minutes Electronics Information ( EI ) -- 16 questions in 8 minutes Automotive and Shop Information ( AS ) -- 11 questions in 7 minutes Mechanical Comprehension ( MC ) -- 16 questions in 20 minutes Assembling Objects ( AO ) -- 30 questions in 40 minutes Verbal Expression ( VE ) = ( WK ) + ( PC ) Written test format ( edit ) General Science ( GS ) -- 45 questions in 20 minutes Arithmetic Reasoning ( AR ) -- 30 questions in 36 minutes Word Knowledge ( WK ) -- 35 questions in 11 minutes Paragraph Comprehension ( PC ) -- 15 questions in 13 minutes Mathematics Knowledge ( MK ) -- 25 questions in 24 minutes Electronics Information ( EI ) -- 20 questions in 9 minutes Automotive and Shop Information ( AS ) -- 25 questions in 11 minutes Mechanical Comprehension ( MC ) -- 25 questions in 19 minutes Assembling Objects ( AO ) -- 25 questions in 15 minutes Verbal Expression ( VE ) = ( WK ) + ( PC ) Navy applicants also complete a Coding Speed ( CS ) test . Previous ( edit ) `` Numerical Operations '' ( NO ) `` Space Perception '' ( SP ) `` Tool Knowledge '' ( TK ) `` General Information '' ( GI ) `` Attention to Detail '' ( AD ) `` Coding Speed '' ( CS ) Armed Forces qualification test ( edit ) An Armed Forces Qualification Test ( AFQT ) score is used to determine basic qualification for enlistment . AFQT Scores are divided into the following categories Category I : 93 -- 99 Category II : 65 -- 92 Category III A : 50 -- 64 Category III B : 31 -- 49 Category IV A : 21 -- 30 Category IV B : 16 -- 20 Category IV C : 10 -- 15 Category V : 0 -- 9 The formula for computing an AFQT score is : AR + MK + ( 2 x VE ) . The VE ( verbal ) score is determined by adding the raw scores from the PC and WK tests and using a table to get the VE score from that combined PC and WK raw score . AFQT scores are not raw scores , but rather percentile scores indicating how each examinee performed compared with all other examinees . Thus , someone who receives an AFQT of 55 scored better than 55 percent of all other examinees . The highest possible percentile is 99 . The minimum score for enlistment varies according to branch of service and whether the enlistee has a high school diploma . Minimum AFQT Tier I Tier II Branch ≥ HS Diploma = GED Army 31 50 Marines 32 50 Air Force 36 65 Navy 35 50 Coast Guard 40 50 with 15 college credits * Army National Guard 50 50 * Air National Guard 50 50 GED holders who earn 15 college credits 100 level or greater are considered equivalent with those holding high school diplomas , so that they need only the Tier I score to enlist . Eligibility is not determined by score alone . Certain recruiting goal practices may require an applicant to achieve a higher score than the required minimum AFQT score in order to be considered for enlistment . Rules and regulations are subject to change ; applicants should call their local recruiting center for up to date qualification information . Law prohibits applicants in Category V from enlisting . In addition , there are constraints placed on Category IV recruits ; recruits in Category IV must be high school diploma graduates but can not be denied enlistment solely on this criteria if the recruit is needed to satisfy established strength requirements . Furthermore , the law constrains the percentage of accessions who can fall between Categories IV - V ( currently , the limit is 20 % of all persons originally enlisted in a given armed force in a given fiscal year ) .

( March 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In addition to the ASVAB 's AFQT , each branch has military occupational specialty , or MOS , scores . Combinations of scores from the nine tests are used to determine qualification for a MOS . These combinations are called `` aptitude area scores '' , `` composite scores '' , or `` line scores '' . Each of the five armed services has its own aptitude area scores and sets its own minimum composite scores for each MOS .

Because of the test 's significance both inside and outside military settings , it is important to examine what the test measures , i.e. to evaluate the construct validity of the AFQT . Kaufman 's 2010 review stated that David Marks ( 2010 ) scanned the literature for datasets containing test estimates for populations or groups taking both the AFQT and tests of literacy . One study on nine groups of soldiers differing in job and reading ability found a correlation of . 96 between the AFQT and reading achievement ( Sticht , Caylor , Kern , & Fox , 1972 ) . Another study showed significant improvements among Black and Hispanic populations in their AFQT scores between 1980 and 1992 while Whites only showed a slight decrement ( Kilburn , Hanser , & Klerman , 1998 ) . Another study obtained reading scores for 17 - year olds for those same ethnic groups and dates ( Campbell et al. , 2000 ) and found a correlation of . 997 between reading scores and AFQT scores . This nearly perfect correlation was based on six pairs of data points from six independent population samples evaluated by two separate groups of investigators . According to Marks , `` On the basis of the studies summarized here , there can be little doubt that the Armed Forces Qualifications Test is a measure of literacy . '' However , it is important to note that AFQT has been shown to correlate more highly with classic IQ tests than they do with one another , and that the `` crystallized '' intelligence measured by AFQT is measured very similarly by Wechsler , in particular .

The character was created by series ' producer Shonda Rhimes , and is portrayed by Sara Ramirez . She was introduced in season two , as a senior orthopedic resident , as a love interest for intern George O'Malley ( T.R. Knight ) . Eventually becoming an attending orthopedic surgeon , the character was originally contracted to appear on a recurring basis , but received star billing in the third season . Torres was initially conceived as a love interest , and eventual wife , for O'Malley , and was created to be disliked by her colleagues . Further storylines include relationships between her and plastic surgeon , Mark Sloan ( Eric Dane ) , cardiothoracic surgeon Erica Hahn ( Brooke Smith ) , as well as a marriage to pediatric surgeon Arizona Robbins ( Jessica Capshaw ) . The character 's bisexual storyline with Hahn and Robbins , and her development later in the series has garnered much acclaim . She is also the longest running LGBT character in television history , appearing in 11 seasons and 239 episodes . Ramirez 's portrayal of Torres has been widely praised by television critics and the character gained significant popularity as the series progressed . Ramirez was nominated for several awards for her portrayal of Torres , including the Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series , and the ALMA Award for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Television Series . The character was ranked at no . 7 by AfterEllen.com in the list of `` Top 50 Favorite Female TV Characters . '' At the end of the show 's twelfth season , Ramirez departed the show after ten years , desiring to take a break . Contents 1 Storylines 2 Development 2.1 Casting and creation 2.2 Characterization 3 Reception 4 References 5 External links Storylines ( edit ) Callie Torres is introduced as an orthopedic surgery resident with a crush on intern George O'Malley ( T.R. Knight ) . The two start a relationship and Torres moves into Meredith 's house ( Meredith and Izzie Stevens lived there as well ) . Uneased at the way their relationship is progressing , O'Malley confronts her , which results in her moving into a hotel . In the aftermath of the breakup , she meets and has a one - night stand with plastic surgeon Mark Sloan ( Eric Dane ) , who becomes her friend . Torres and O'Malley subsequently reconcile , and the two marry in Las Vegas on the spur of the moment . Confused , O'Malley confides to fellow intern Izzie Stevens ( Katherine Heigl ) , about his relationship woes over alcohol , leading to a drunken sexual encounter between the two . Torres remains unaware of his sexual encounter , but becomes increasingly suspicious , and announces her desire to conceive a child . Shortly thereafter , however , she discovers that O'Malley has been unfaithful , ending their marriage . Though her personal life is troubled , Torres thrives professionally when she is appointed as the hospital 's Chief Resident . However , she soon begins struggling to cope in the role , and is demoted soon thereafter . Torres forms a friendship with Erica Hahn ( Brooke Smith ) , the hospital 's new chief of cardiothoracic surgery . The two embark on a relationship when Hahn jokingly kisses Torres in an elevator to tease Sloan . Neither has been with another woman before , and Torres struggles with her bisexuality , and cheats on her with Sloan . She is initially forgiven , but after an argument about work , Hahn resigns from Seattle Grace , ending their relationship . New pediatric surgeon Arizona Robbins ( Jessica Capshaw ) kisses her , and they begin dating . Their relationship is tested when Torres comes out to her father , Carlos , who disowns her , cutting her off both financially and emotionally . When she is not granted a position as an attending , she publicly berates the chief , Richard Webber ( James Pickens , Jr . ) , and resigns from her post . She begins working at the neighboring Mercy West hospital , and when the two hospitals merge , she is promoted to an attending surgeon . Torres ' father returns yet again , to condemn her , but ultimately accepts her sexuality . When Torres explains her desire to bear children , Robbins expresses disappointment , and their differing stances on the matter lead them to break up . Soon thereafter , a gunman commits mass murder at the hospital , and , relieved to have survived , Torres and Robbins reconcile , with Robbins agreeing that they should have children together . When Robbins wins a prestigious grant to help treat children in Malawi , a disgruntled Torres agrees to move there with her , as the position will last for three years ; however , her lack of enthusiasm causes Robbins to end their relationship and go without her . A heartbroken Torres moves in with Sloan , and they have a one - night stand . Robbins returns for Torres , apologizing and hoping for forgiveness , but Torres initially rebuffs her , and later reveals that she is pregnant with Sloan 's baby . Robbins agrees to raise the child with her , but dislikes that Sloan will be a permanent part of their lives . En route a weekend getaway , Robbins proposes to Torres , but before Torres can reply , the two are in a head - on collision with a truck , leaving Torres severely injured . In an attempt to save her life , obstetrician - gynecologist Addison Montgomery ( Kate Walsh ) , delivers Torres 's premature baby . Torres survives , and agrees to marry Robbins . After twelve weeks of recovery , both Torres and baby Sofia are discharged and allowed to leave the hospital . Torres recovers from her surgery , but deals with the backlash from her mother ( Gina Gallego ) 's attitude toward the wedding and her granddaughter . Torres and Robbins marry in a garden after the minister 's wife falls ill , with general surgeon Miranda Bailey ( Chandra Wilson ) , officiating the ceremony . In the aftermath of a plane accident that killed Sloan and Lexie Grey ( Chyler Leigh ) , Torres is forced to make the decision to have Alex Karev amputate Robbins 's left leg to keep her alive , which puts strains on their relationship . The hospital is sued and eventually found guilty of negligence . Each victim , including Robbins , Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) , Meredith Grey ( Ellen Pompeo ) , and Cristina Yang ( Sandra Oh ) must receive $15 million of compensation , which leads the hospital to a near bankruptcy as the insurances refuse to pay . These doctors and Torres 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 . Everything seems to go well for Arizona and Callie , until a big storm hits the hospital now named after Mark Sloan and Lexie Grey . In the last episode of the ninth season , Arizona cheats on Callie with Dr. Lauren Boswell ( Hilarie Burton ) . Callie soon discovers Arizona 's infidelity by seeing her wedding ring pinned to Dr. Boswell 's scrub top . In the aftermath of discovery , both Callie and Arizona share their feelings and it is revealed that Arizona does not forgive Callie for making the call to amputate her leg . Callie is heartbroken and Arizona states that Callie lost nothing in the crash , to which Callie responds that she , apparently , lost Arizona . Callie takes Sofia to live with Meredith and Derek , Zola , and Baby Bailey for a while before kicking Arizona out of their apartment and celebrates by dancing in her underwear . Callie also left Arizona at therapy , telling her that she was the only one that needed to go . After being hit by a lawsuit , her father , Carlos , visits and tells Callie that he cheated on her mother but she took him back and Callie would n't be here if her mother did n't give Carlos a second chance . Callie goes to Arizona 's apartment and invites her to come back home . Callie finds out during surgery that Arizona was sleeping with Leah , a second year resident , while separated . Although angry at Arizona , Callie still agrees to work things out . After April 's failed wedding to Matthew , Callie and Arizona bought a house together , a fresh start , away from the memories of their apartment . They later decided to try again for a second child . However , a trip to the OB / GYN led to the discovery that Callie had developed adhesions in her uterus in the years since Sofia 's birth , meaning she could not carry any more babies . After talking about it , the couple agreed to postpone their dream to have another baby until they 're on more solid footing as a couple . At the beginning of the eleventh season , Callie and Arizona gave therapy another chance in order to help mend their marriage . They were made to go 30 days living separate lives in the same house with no sexual activity with others or each other . They come close to breaking that rule and had to start over and before the 30 days was up they eventually gave in and connected sexually again . At the end of the 30 days at the final therapy session Arizona realized she could n't live without Callie ; however Callie did n't feel the same and stated she felt suffocated and eventually walked out of therapy , ending their marriage . Callie then goes on to date Penny , who was the resident in charge of Derek Shepard 's case . She comes to a dinner party hosted by Meredith , who recognizes her . It is then discovered that Penny is going to be working at Grey Sloan Memorial . When everyone , including Callie , finds out who Penny actually is , they protest and try to get her off of the Grey Sloan Memorial residency line . She manages to stay on the line despite all the others ' pleads and wishes . After Callie discloses her desire to move to New York with Penny and take her and Arizona 's daughter , Sofia , with her , Arizona takes Callie to court for sole parental custody . Callie loses custody of her daughter to Arizona and Penny moves to New York . After Arizona decides that both Sofia 's moms deserve to be happy , Arizona presents Callie with plane tickets and offers a custody agreement that keeps Sofia in Seattle for the summer and then sharing her every other school year and Christmas . Callie is referenced occasionally by Arizona and Sofia after her departure from the show . At the conclusion of season 14 , Arizona departs the show to move to New York and it is implied that the two will ultimately reconcile after Callie and Penny are mentioned to have broken up . Development ( edit ) Casting and creation ( edit ) `` As a Latin person , I was really proud to see the ethnic people on the show . I thought , Wow , there are no color limits . Nobody 's making comments about how there are African - Americans on the show and an Asian on the show . However , I did think , Where 's the Latin person ? '' Ramirez on Grey 's Anatomy Ramirez was seen by ABC executives , in her Broadway performance of Spamalot , which garnered their attention . Due to their admiration , the network offered Ramirez a role on any ABC television series , of her choice , and she chose Grey 's Anatomy . Ramirez further explained that at her initial audition , the producers liked her , and had intentions to add her to the show , but did not know who to cast her as . She also said she was in awe of how the executives said , `` Pick a show , any show '' , explaining that it is rare . Shonda Rhimes said : `` I was looking for a girlfriend for George , but it was in the infancy stages , so I had no idea what I was looking for . '' Rhimes built the character around Ramirez after she met her . Ramirez 's character was initially given recurring status in the second season and received star billing in the third season , alongside fellow cast member Dane , who portrayed Mark Sloan . Ramirez discusses maintaining relationships with co-stars : `` The weird thing about working in television is that you only see the people that you 're in scenes with . It 's not like you 're all running around the set together . So if you 're going to hang out together , you kind of have to make an effort . And I think people have families , people have lives . '' Characterization ( edit ) While we are disheartened that the burgeoning relationship between Callie and Erica has come to an end , the character of Callie , who has now been identified as a lesbian by show creator Shonda Rhimes , remains and her journey continues . Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation on Torres ' bisexual storyline The American Broadcasting Company ( ABC ) characterized Torres as `` driven '' , `` determined '' , and `` outgoing '' , while also noting her weaknesses : `` defensive '' and `` impulsive '' . Ramirez described her character as someone who `` appears to be a certain way , but has some very complex issues going on behind the scenes . She seems to be a very strong personality , someone who really believes in herself and has worked very hard to get where she is . She 's very competitive but does have a sense of self , so she does n't need to win all the time . '' At Torres ' initial appearance on the show , she was disliked by fans , due to her getting in the way of O'Malley and Meredith Grey ( Ellen Pompeo ) 's relationship . When asked of this , Ramirez said : `` You do run across a lot of people who are extremely invested in that story line . Obviously , I 've heard some negative stuff . '' The end of the show 's fourth season saw Torres grow closer to cardiothoracic surgeon Erica Hahn , in a relationship referred to by the portmanteau `` Eri - Cal '' and later `` Callica '' by Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly . Rhimes stated that : `` Callie and Erica have an undeniable chemistry , and watching the story unfold is something the writers are looking forward to . I wanted to illuminate their relationship in the same way we do all relationships on the show -- it will be funny , sweet , honest , and a little bit dirty . '' Torres served as the primary vocalist in the show 's musical episode , `` Song Beneath the Song '' , being described as `` amazing '' by fellow cast member , Kevin McKidd . She explained that in developing the relationship between the two : `` we wanted it to be real -- not some stunt to get people talking . We wanted to see what would happen if a woman suddenly had feelings for another woman . '' The two characters shared a kiss at the end of the season four finale , with which D. Williams of After Ellen noted : `` Callie and Erica became the only regular lesbian / bisexual female characters currently on network television . This is also the first time that two regular characters on a network show have begun a lesbian romance , as opposed to one becoming involved with a new lesbian character introduced expressly for that relationship . '' Before continuing with the storyline , the show 's producers consulted with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation to ensure they maintained realism throughout . Trish Doolan , star of April 's Shower was invited to consult in the workshop sessions which took place , and surmised that ; `` They were really wanting to be truthful to the two characters they 're focusing on in the woman - woman relationship '' , with Nikki Weiss , who also consulted , adding : `` they did n't want to stereotype anything either , and write from a place where they did n't understand it . ( ... ) I do n't think they did it as a stunt to get people back to watching after the strike . I really think that they wanted to develop these two characters , and that you could see a closeness with them way before they ever decided any kind of -- I think they just have a chemistry together , as actresses , too . You could tell that in the room . They definitely have a chemistry . '' In the show 's fifth season , Torres embarked on a relationship with Arizona Robbins ( Capshaw ) . The relationship between the two is referred to by the portmanteau `` Calzona '' . Rhimes praised the chemistry between Arizona and Callie in contrast , comparing it to that between the show 's primary couple Grey and Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) , and stating : `` They have that little thing that makes you want to watch them . '' In `` An Honest Mistake '' , Torres was initially rejected by Robbins , with Robbins citing Torres ' `` inexperience '' as a factor . Series writer Peter Nowalk offered the insight : `` I totally understand why Arizona would n't want to date a newborn . It 's like getting a Freshman as your Physics lab partner even though you 're a Senior who not only knows the Laws of Motion but has mastered them in ways that would rock that Freshman 's world . Which is not to say the Freshman wo n't grow to be really good at Physics , or that Callie wo n't catch up to Arizona on the lesbian front , it 's simply that Arizona might not have the patience to wait that long . '' The couple ultimately decided to begin a relationship , however , the two experience difficulties , but eventually reunite . Rhimes commented on their reconciliation : `` I love ( Callie ) with Arizona . ( ... ) I like that they make me feel hopeful about love . '' Rhimes has mentioned of their relationship in the sixth season : `` I would like to see Callie happily in a long - term relationship . We have so much to explore with them , because we barely know anything about ( Arizona ) . '' Callie and Arizona have a five - year relationship , ultimately marrying in the seventh season and divorcing in the eleventh season . Callie starts a new relationship with Penny Blake and leaves to go to New York with her in the twelfth - season finale . Shonda Rhimes spoke on Ramirez 's abrupt departure , saying , `` This one was different because it was n't a big planned thing . I had a different plan going and when Sara came in and said , ' I really need to take this break , ' I was lucky that we 'd shot the end of the season with her going to New York . '' Reception ( edit ) `` What was truly revolutionary about Callie is that she was never defined by any single aspect of herself . She was curvy , Latina , and bisexual , and she was also a funny , frustrating , and lovable doctor with an amazing career and strong friendships . Callie was never expected to be perfect . She was allowed to be as messy as every other character on Grey 's Anatomy , and , for everyone who identified with her as a whole or in part , it was a huge relief to see this woman who represented so many perspectives be allowed to just be awesome . '' -- Sabienna Bowmna of Bustle Maureen Ryan from the Chicago Tribune was critical about the character 's initial development . Reviewing the third season 's premiere , she wrote the writers should give up on Callie explaining they have made her `` far too obviously the `` weird girl , '' but there 's nothing underneath her brusque persona . '' Her marriage to O'Malley was well received ; Staci Krause of IGN wrote : `` Their relationship has been a roller coaster and it was nice to see this turn of events , as she really is a perfect contrast to George . '' Discussing the character in terms of her relationship with Hahn , Williams was largely positive , assessing that : `` The story line offered both the drama Grey 's is known for and a truthfulness network television has rarely achieved when it comes to lesbian relationships . '' Trish Doolan and Nikki Weiss , invited by GLAAD to consult with Grey 's Anatomy producers on the storyline , praised the effort put into researching the issue by the writers and actors involved , though were more negative on the scene which saw Hahn kiss Callie in an elevator in front of Mark Sloan . Weiss commented : `` I just felt like , if they really cared about each other , I do n't think they would do that as a stunt . That seemed a little , I do n't know , forced . ( ... ) ( It ) was more like a conquest , like he could have ( Hahn ) too or something . '' LGBT website AfterEllen.com agreed with this view , criticizing the way the scene was edited so as to keep cutting to Sloan 's point of view , as though `` privileging the male gaze . '' AfterEllen.com included Torres in their list of the Top 50 Lesbian and Bisexual Characters , ranking her at No. 6 and in their Top 50 Favorite Female TV Characters . The character was also listed in Wetpaint 's `` 10 Hottest TV Doctors on TV '' . Commenting on Hahn 's abrupt departure from the show , Dorothy Snarker , writing for AfterEllen.com , observed of Torres and Robbins ' relationship : `` I ( ... ) ca n't help but be wary of how the Grey 's writers will handle this relationship . Jessica has proven lovely and likable in her brief screen time so far . But it 's not how the romance starts , but what happens next that really matters . '' Speaking of the musical episode , Nicole Golden of TV Fanatic called Ramirez 's rendition of `` Chasing Cars '' `` amazing '' and referred to her performance in Kate Havnevik 's `` Grace '' as `` beautiful '' . Margaret Lyons of New York Magazine was happy with the evolution of Bailey and Torres ' friendship in the first half of the ninth season , calling it `` the one bright spot '' : `` They joke , they tease each other , they offer sage love advice to one another , now that they 're both on their second marriages . '' Ramirez was nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Television Series at the Alma Awards , in 2007 and 2008 . Also in 2007 , at the 13th Screen Actors Guild Awards , Ramirez and the cast of Grey 's Anatomy , were the recipients of the Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series . She and the cast were nominated for the same award , in 2008 . In 2011 , at the 42nd NAACP Image Awards , Ramirez was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series . She was ranked at no . 7 in AfterEllen.com 's list of `` Top 50 Favorite Female TV Characters '' References ( edit ) Specific ^ Jump up to : Yuan , Jada ( September 18 , 2006 ) . `` Belle Curves : Sara Ramirez '' .

Milky Way
Milky Way - wikipedia Milky Way Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the galaxy . For other uses , see Milky Way ( disambiguation ) . Milky Way Galaxy The Milky Way 's Galactic Center in the night sky above Paranal Observatory ( the laser creates a guide - star for the telescope ) .

The descriptive `` milky '' is derived from the appearance from Earth of the galaxy -- a band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that can not be individually distinguished by the naked eye . The term Milky Way is a translation of the Latin via lactea , from the Greek γαλαξίας κύκλος ( galaxías kýklos , `` milky circle '' ) . From Earth , the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk - shaped structure is viewed from within . Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610 . Until the early 1920s , most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe . Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis , observations by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies . The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with a diameter between 100,000 and 180,000 light - years . The Milky Way is estimated to contain 100 -- 400 billion stars . There are probably at least 100 billion planets in the Milky Way . The Solar System is located within the disk , about 26,000 light - years from the Galactic Center , on the inner edge of one of the spiral - shaped concentrations of gas and dust called the Orion Arm . The stars in the inner ≈ 10,000 light - years form a bulge and one or more bars that radiate from the bulge . The very center is marked by an intense radio source , named Sagittarius A * , which is likely to be a supermassive black hole . Stars and gases at a wide range of distances from the Galactic Center orbit at approximately 220 kilometers per second . The constant rotation speed contradicts the laws of Keplerian dynamics and suggests that much of the mass of the Milky Way does not emit or absorb electromagnetic radiation . This mass has been termed `` dark matter '' . The rotational period is about 240 million years at the position of the Sun . The Milky Way as a whole is moving at a velocity of approximately 600 km per second with respect to extragalactic frames of reference . The oldest stars in the Milky Way are nearly as old as the Universe itself and thus probably formed shortly after the Dark Ages of the Big Bang . The Milky Way has several satellite galaxies and is part of the Local Group of galaxies , which is a component of the Virgo Supercluster , which is itself a component of the Laniakea Supercluster .

The bright object on the right is Jupiter , just above Antares . Play media This time - lapse video captures the Milky Way circling over ALMA . The `` Milky Way '' can be seen as a hazy band of white light some 30 degrees wide arcing across the sky . Although all the individual naked - eye stars in the entire sky are part of the Milky Way , the light in this band originates from the accumulation of unresolved stars and other material located in the direction of the galactic plane . Dark regions within the band , such as the Great Rift and the Coalsack , are areas where light from distant stars is blocked by interstellar dust . The area of the sky obscured by the Milky Way is called the Zone of Avoidance . The Milky Way has a relatively low surface brightness . Its visibility can be greatly reduced by background light such as light pollution or stray light from the Moon . The sky needs to be darker than about 20.2 magnitude per square arcsecond in order for the Milky Way to be seen . It should be visible when the limiting magnitude is approximately + 5.1 or better and shows a great deal of detail at + 6.1 . This makes the Milky Way difficult to see from any brightly lit urban or suburban location , but very prominent when viewed from a rural area when the Moon is below the horizon . The new world atlas of artificial night sky brightness shows that more than one - third of Earth 's population can not see the Milky Way from their homes due to light pollution . As viewed from Earth , the visible region of the Milky Way 's Galactic plane occupies an area of the sky that includes 30 constellations . The center of the Galaxy lies in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius ; it is here that the Milky Way is brightest . From Sagittarius , the hazy band of white light appears to pass around to the Galactic anticenter in Auriga . The band then continues the rest of the way around the sky , back to Sagittarius . The band divides the night sky into two roughly equal hemispheres . The Galactic plane is inclined by about 60 degrees to the ecliptic ( the plane of Earth 's orbit ) . Relative to the celestial equator , it passes as far north as the constellation of Cassiopeia and as far south as the constellation of Crux , indicating the high inclination of Earth 's equatorial plane and the plane of the ecliptic , relative to the Galactic plane . The north Galactic pole is situated at right ascension 12 49 , declination + 27.4 ° ( B1950 ) near β Comae Berenices , and the south Galactic pole is near α Sculptoris . Because of this high inclination , depending on the time of night and year , the arc of the Milky Way may appear relatively low or relatively high in the sky . For observers from approximately 65 degrees north to 65 degrees south on Earth 's surface , the Milky Way passes directly overhead twice a day . The Milky Way arching at a high inclination across the night sky ( fish - eye mosaic shot at Paranal , Chile ) . The bright object is Jupiter in the constellation Sagittarius , and the Magellanic Clouds can be seen on the left . Galactic north is downwards . Size and mass A photograph of galaxy UGC 12158 , which is thought to resemble the Milky Way in appearance . The Milky Way is the second - largest galaxy in the Local Group , with its stellar disk approximately 100,000 ly ( 30 kpc ) in diameter , and , on average , approximately 1,000 ly ( 0.3 kpc ) thick . As a guide to the relative physical scale of the Milky Way , if the Solar System out to Neptune were the size of a US quarter ( 24.3 mm ( 0.955 in ) ) , the Milky Way would be approximately the size of the continental United States . A ring - like filament of stars wrapping around the Milky Way may belong to the Milky Way itself , rippling above and below the relatively flat galactic plane . If so , that would mean a diameter of 150,000 -- 180,000 light - years ( 46 -- 55 kpc ) . Schematic profile of the Milky Way . Estimates of the mass of the Milky Way vary , depending upon the method and data used . At the low end of the estimate range , the mass of the Milky Way is 5.8 × 10 solar masses ( M ) , somewhat less than that of the Andromeda Galaxy . Measurements using the Very Long Baseline Array in 2009 found velocities as large as 254 km / s ( 570,000 mph ) for stars at the outer edge of the Milky Way . Because the orbital velocity depends on the total mass inside the orbital radius , this suggests that the Milky Way is more massive , roughly equaling the mass of Andromeda Galaxy at 7 × 10 M within 160,000 ly ( 49 kpc ) of its center . In 2010 , a measurement of the radial velocity of halo stars found that the mass enclosed within 80 kilo parsecs is 7 × 10 M. According to a study published in 2014 , the mass of the entire Milky Way is estimated to be 8.5 × 10 M , which is about half the mass of the Andromeda Galaxy . Much of the mass of the Milky Way appears to be dark matter , an unknown and invisible form of matter that interacts gravitationally with ordinary matter . A dark matter halo is spread out relatively uniformly to a distance beyond one hundred kiloparsecs from the Galactic Center . Mathematical models of the Milky Way suggest that the mass of dark matter is 1 -- 1.5 × 10 M. Recent studies indicate a range in mass , as large as 4.5 × 10 M and as small as 8 × 10 M . The total mass of all the stars in the Milky Way is estimated to be between 4.6 × 10 M and 6.43 × 10 M. In addition to the stars , there is also interstellar gas , comprising 90 % hydrogen and 10 % helium by mass , with two thirds of the hydrogen found in the atomic form and the remaining one - third as molecular hydrogen . The mass of this gas is equal to between 10 % and 15 % of the total mass of the galaxy 's stars . Interstellar dust accounts for an additional 1 % of the total mass of the gas . Contents Further information : Exoplanet The Milky Way contains between 200 and 400 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets . The exact figure depends on the number of very - low - mass stars , which are hard to detect , especially at distances of more than 300 ly ( 90 pc ) from the Sun . As a comparison , the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy contains an estimated one trillion ( 10 ) stars . Filling the space between the stars is a disk of gas and dust called the interstellar medium . This disk has at least a comparable extent in radius to the stars , whereas the thickness of the gas layer ranges from hundreds of light years for the colder gas to thousands of light years for warmer gas . The disk of stars in the Milky Way does not have a sharp edge beyond which there are no stars . Rather , the concentration of stars decreases with distance from the center of the Milky Way . For reasons that are not understood , beyond a radius of roughly 40,000 ly ( 13 kpc ) from the center , the number of stars per cubic parsec drops much faster with radius . Surrounding the galactic disk is a spherical Galactic Halo of stars and globular clusters that extends further outward but is limited in size by the orbits of two Milky Way satellites , the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds , whose closest approach to the Galactic Center is about 180,000 ly ( 55 kpc ) . At this distance or beyond , the orbits of most halo objects would be disrupted by the Magellanic Clouds . Hence , such objects would probably be ejected from the vicinity of the Milky Way . The integrated absolute visual magnitude of the Milky Way is estimated to be around − 20.9 . Both gravitational microlensing and planetary transit observations indicate that there may be at least as many planets bound to stars as there are stars in the Milky Way , and microlensing measurements indicate that there are more rogue planets not bound to host stars than there are stars . The Milky Way contains at least one planet per star , resulting in 100 -- 400 billion planets , according to a January 2013 study of the five - planet star system Kepler - 32 with the Kepler space observatory . A different January 2013 analysis of Kepler data estimated that at least 17 billion Earth - sized exoplanets reside in the Milky Way . On November 4 , 2013 , astronomers reported , based on Kepler space mission data , that there could be as many as 40 billion Earth - sized planets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun - like stars and red dwarfs within the Milky Way . 11 billion of these estimated planets may be orbiting Sun - like stars . The nearest such planet may be 4.2 light - years away , according to a 2016 study . Such Earth - sized planets may be more numerous than gas giants . Besides exoplanets , `` exocomets '' , comets beyond the Solar System , have also been detected and may be common in the Milky Way . 360 - degree panorama view of the Milky Way ( an assembled mosaic of photographs ) by ESO . The galactic centre is in the middle of the view , with galactic north up . Structure Play media An artist 's impression that shows how the Milky Way would look from very different perspectives than from Earth . From some angles , the central bulge shows up as a peanut - shaped glowing ball of stars , and from above , the central narrow bar appears clearly . The many spiral arms and their associated dust clouds are also clearly seen . Artist 's conception of the spiral structure of the Milky Way with two major stellar arms and a bar Spitzer reveals what can not be seen in visible light : cooler stars ( blue ) , heated dust ( reddish hue ) , and Sgr A * as bright white spot in the middle . Bright X-ray flares from Sagittarius A * , location of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way . The Milky Way consists of a bar - shaped core region surrounded by a disk of gas , dust and stars . The mass distribution within the Milky Way closely resembles the type Sbc in the Hubble classification , which represents spiral galaxies with relatively loosely wound arms . Astronomers began to suspect that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy , rather than an ordinary spiral galaxy , in the 1990s . Their suspicions were confirmed by the Spitzer Space Telescope observations in 2005 that showed the Milky Way 's central bar to be larger than previously thought . Galactic quadrants Main article : Galactic quadrant A galactic quadrant , or quadrant of the Milky Way , refers to one of four circular sectors in the division of the Milky Way . In actual astronomical practice , the delineation of the galactic quadrants is based upon the galactic coordinate system , which places the Sun as the origin of the mapping system . Quadrants are described using ordinals -- for example , `` 1st galactic quadrant '' , `` second galactic quadrant '' , or `` third quadrant of the Milky Way '' . Viewing from the north galactic pole with 0 degrees ( ° ) as the ray that runs starting from the Sun and through the Galactic Center , the quadrants are as follows : 1st galactic quadrant -- 0 ° ≤ longitude ( l ) ≤ 90 ° 2nd galactic quadrant -- 90 ° ≤ l ≤ 180 ° 3rd galactic quadrant -- 180 ° ≤ l ≤ 270 ° 4th galactic quadrant -- 270 ° ≤ l ≤ 360 ° ( 0 ° ) Galactic Center Main article : Galactic Center The Sun is 25,000 -- 28,000 ly ( 7.7 -- 8.6 kpc ) from the Galactic Center . This value is estimated using geometric - based methods or by measuring selected astronomical objects that serve as standard candles , with different techniques yielding various values within this approximate range . In the inner few kpc ( around 10,000 light - years radius ) is a dense concentration of mostly old stars in a roughly spheroidal shape called the bulge . It has been proposed that the Milky Way lacks a bulge formed due to a collision and merger between previous galaxies , and that instead it has a pseudobulge formed by its central bar . The Galactic Center is marked by an intense radio source named Sagittarius A * ( pronounced Sagittarius A-star ) . The motion of material around the center indicates that Sagittarius A * harbors a massive , compact object . This concentration of mass is best explained as a supermassive black hole ( SMBH ) with an estimated mass of 4.1 -- 4.5 million times the mass of the Sun . The rate of accretion of the SMBH is consistent with an inactive galactic nucleus , being estimated at around 6995100000000000000 ♠ 1 × 10 M y . Observations indicate that there are SMBH located near the center of most normal galaxies . The nature of the Milky Way 's bar is actively debated , with estimates for its half - length and orientation spanning from 1 to 5 kpc ( 3,000 -- 16,000 ly ) and 10 -- 50 degrees relative to the line of sight from Earth to the Galactic Center . Certain authors advocate that the Milky Way features two distinct bars , one nestled within the other . However , RR Lyrae variables do not trace a prominent Galactic bar . The bar may be surrounded by a ring called the `` 5 - kpc ring '' that contains a large fraction of the molecular hydrogen present in the Milky Way , as well as most of the Milky Way 's star formation activity . Viewed from the Andromeda Galaxy , it would be the brightest feature of the Milky Way . X-ray emission from the core is aligned with the massive stars surrounding the central bar and the Galactic ridge . Illustration of the two gigantic X-ray / gamma - ray bubbles ( blue - violet ) of the Milky Way ( center ) In 2010 , two gigantic spherical bubbles of high energy emission were detected to the north and the south of the Milky Way core , using data from the Fermi Gamma - ray Space Telescope . The diameter of each of the bubbles is about 25,000 light - years ( 7.7 kpc ) ; they stretch up to Grus and to Virgo on the night - sky of the southern hemisphere . Subsequently , observations with the Parkes Telescope at radio frequencies identified polarized emission that is associated with the Fermi bubbles . These observations are best interpreted as a magnetized outflow driven by star formation in the central 640 ly ( 200 pc ) of the Milky Way . Later , on January 5 , 2015 , NASA reported observing an X-ray flare 400 times brighter than usual , a record - breaker , from Sagittarius A * . The unusual event may have been caused by the breaking apart of an asteroid falling into the black hole or by the entanglement of magnetic field lines within gas flowing into Sagittarius A * . Spiral arms For more details on this topic , see Spiral galaxy . Outside the gravitational influence of the Galactic bars , the structure of the interstellar medium and stars in the disk of the Milky Way is organized into four spiral arms . Spiral arms typically contain a higher density of interstellar gas and dust than the Galactic average as well as a greater concentration of star formation , as traced by H II regions and molecular clouds . The Milky Way 's spiral structure is uncertain , and there is currently no consensus on the nature of the Milky Way 's spiral arms . Perfect logarithmic spiral patterns only crudely describe features near the Sun , because galaxies commonly have arms that branch , merge , twist unexpectedly , and feature a degree of irregularity . The possible scenario of the Sun within a spur / Local arm emphasizes that point and indicates that such features are probably not unique , and exist elsewhere in the Milky Way . Estimates of the pitch angle of the arms range from about 7 ° to 25 ° . There are thought to be four spiral arms that all start near the Milky Way 's center . These are named as follows , with the positions of the arms shown in the image at right : Observed ( normal lines ) and extrapolated ( dotted lines ) structure of the spiral arms . The gray lines radiating from the Sun 's position ( upper center ) list the three - letter abbreviations of the corresponding constellations . Color Arm ( s ) cyan 3 - kpc Arm ( Near 3 kpc Arm and Far 3 kpc Arm ) and Perseus Arm purple Norma and Outer arm ( Along with extension discovered in 2004 ) green Scutum -- Centaurus Arm pink Carina -- Sagittarius Arm There are at least two smaller arms or spurs , including : orange Orion -- Cygnus Arm ( which contains the Sun and Solar System ) Two spiral arms , the Scutum -- Centaurus arm and the Carina -- Sagittarius arm , have tangent points inside the Sun 's orbit about the center of the Milky Way . If these arms contain an overdensity of stars compared to the average density of stars in the Galactic disk , it would be detectable by counting the stars near the tangent point . Two surveys of near - infrared light , which is sensitive primarily to red giants and not affected by dust extinction , detected the predicted overabundance in the Scutum -- Centaurus arm but not in the Carina -- Sagittarius arm : the Scutum - Centaurus Arm contains approximately 30 % more red giants than would be expected in the absence of a spiral arm . This observation suggests that the Milky Way possesses only two major stellar arms : the Perseus arm and the Scutum -- Centaurus arm . The rest of the arms contain excess gas but not excess old stars . In December 2013 , astronomers found that the distribution of young stars and star - forming regions matches the four - arm spiral description of the Milky Way . Thus , the Milky Way appears to have two spiral arms as traced by old stars and four spiral arms as traced by gas and young stars . The explanation for this apparent discrepancy is unclear . Clusters detected by WISE used to trace the Milky Way 's spiral arms The Near 3 kpc Arm ( also called Expanding 3 kpc Arm or simply 3 kpc Arm ) was discovered in the 1950s by astronomer van Woerden and collaborators through 21 - centimeter radio measurements of HI ( atomic hydrogen ) . It was found to be expanding away from the central bulge at more than 50 km / s . It is located in the fourth galactic quadrant at a distance of about 5.2 kpc from the Sun and 3.3 kpc from the Galactic Center . The Far 3 kpc Arm was discovered in 2008 by astronomer Tom Dame ( Harvard - Smithsonian CfA ) . It is located in the first galactic quadrant at a distance of 3 kpc ( about 10,000 ly ) from the Galactic Center . A simulation published in 2011 suggested that the Milky Way may have obtained its spiral arm structure as a result of repeated collisions with the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy . It has been suggested that the Milky Way contains two different spiral patterns : an inner one , formed by the Sagittarius arm , that rotates fast and an outer one , formed by the Carina and Perseus arms , whose rotation velocity is slower and whose arms are tightly wound . In this scenario , suggested by numerical simulations of the dynamics of the different spiral arms , the outer pattern would form an outer pseudoring , and the two patterns would be connected by the Cygnus arm . The long filamentary molecular cloud dubbed `` Nessie '' probably forms a dense `` spine '' of the Scutum -- Centarus Arm Outside of the major spiral arms is the Monoceros Ring ( or Outer Ring ) , a ring of gas and stars torn from other galaxies billions of years ago . However , several members of the scientific community recently restated their position affirming the Monoceros structure is nothing more than an over-density produced by the flared and warped thick disk of the Milky Way . Halo The Galactic disk is surrounded by a spheroidal halo of old stars and globular clusters , of which 90 % lie within 100,000 light - years ( 30 kpc ) of the Galactic Center . However , a few globular clusters have been found farther , such as PAL 4 and AM1 at more than 200,000 light - years from the Galactic Center . About 40 % of the Milky Way 's clusters are on retrograde orbits , which means they move in the opposite direction from the Milky Way rotation . The globular clusters can follow rosette orbits about the Milky Way , in contrast to the elliptical orbit of a planet around a star . Although the disk contains dust that obscures the view in some wavelengths , the halo component does not . Active star formation takes place in the disk ( especially in the spiral arms , which represent areas of high density ) , but does not take place in the halo , as there is little gas cool enough to collapse into stars . Open clusters are also located primarily in the disk . Discoveries in the early 21st century have added dimension to the knowledge of the Milky Way 's structure . With the discovery that the disk of the Andromeda Galaxy ( M31 ) extends much further than previously thought , the possibility of the disk of the Milky Way extending further is apparent , and this is supported by evidence from the discovery of the Outer Arm extension of the Cygnus Arm and of a similar extension of the Scutum - Centaurus Arm . With the discovery of the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy came the discovery of a ribbon of galactic debris as the polar orbit of the dwarf and its interaction with the Milky Way tears it apart . Similarly , with the discovery of the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy , it was found that a ring of galactic debris from its interaction with the Milky Way encircles the Galactic disk . The Sloan Digital Sky Survey of the northern sky shows a huge and diffuse structure ( spread out across an area around 5,000 times the size of a full moon ) within the Milky Way that does not seem to fit within current models . The collection of stars rises close to perpendicular to the plane of the spiral arms of the Milky Way . The proposed likely interpretation is that a dwarf galaxy is merging with the Milky Way . This galaxy is tentatively named the Virgo Stellar Stream and is found in the direction of Virgo about 30,000 light - years ( 9 kpc ) away . Gaseous halo In addition to the stellar halo , the Chandra X-ray Observatory , XMM - Newton , and Suzaku have provided evidence that there is a gaseous halo with a large amount of hot gas . The halo extends for hundreds of thousand of light years , much further than the stellar halo and close to the distance of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds . The mass of this hot halo is nearly equivalent to the mass of the Milky Way itself . The temperature of this halo gas is between 1 and 2.5 million K ( 1.8 and 4.5 million F ) . Observations of distant galaxies indicate that the Universe had about one - sixth as much baryonic ( ordinary ) matter as dark matter when it was just a few billion years old . However , only about half of those baryons are accounted for in the modern Universe based on observations of nearby galaxies like the Milky Way . If the finding that the mass of the halo is comparable to the mass of the Milky Way is confirmed , it could be the identity of the missing baryons around the Milky Way . Sun 's location and Neighborhood Diagram of the Sun 's location in the Milky Way . The angles represent longitudes in the galactic coordinate system . Diagram of the stars in the Solar neighborhood The Sun is near the inner rim of the Orion Arm , within the Local Fluff of the Local Bubble , and in the Gould Belt , at a distance of 26.4 ± 1.0 kly ( 8.09 ± 0.31 kpc ) from the Galactic Center . The Sun is currently 5 -- 30 parsecs ( 16 -- 98 ly ) from the central plane of the Galactic disk . The distance between the local arm and the next arm out , the Perseus Arm , is about 2,000 parsecs ( 6,500 ly ) . The Sun , and thus the Solar System , is located in the Milky Way 's galactic habitable zone . There are about 208 stars brighter than absolute magnitude 8.5 within a sphere with a radius of 15 parsecs ( 49 ly ) from the Sun , giving a density of one star per 69 cubic parsecs , or one star per 2,360 cubic light - years ( from List of nearest bright stars ) . On the other hand , there are 64 known stars ( of any magnitude , not counting 4 brown dwarfs ) within 5 parsecs ( 16 ly ) of the Sun , giving a density of about one star per 8.2 cubic parsecs , or one per 284 cubic light - years ( from List of nearest stars ) . This illustrates the fact that there are far more faint stars than bright stars : in the entire sky , there are about 500 stars brighter than apparent magnitude 4 but 15.5 million stars brighter than apparent magnitude 14 . The apex of the Sun 's way , or the solar apex , is the direction that the Sun travels through space in the Milky Way . The general direction of the Sun 's Galactic motion is towards the star Vega near the constellation of Hercules , at an angle of roughly 60 sky degrees to the direction of the Galactic Center . The Sun 's orbit about the Milky Way is expected to be roughly elliptical with the addition of perturbations due to the Galactic spiral arms and non-uniform mass distributions . In addition , the Sun passes through the Galactic plane approximately 2.7 times per orbit . This is very similar to how a simple harmonic oscillator works with no drag force ( damping ) term . These oscillations were until recently thought to coincide with mass lifeform extinction periods on Earth . However , a reanalysis of the effects of the Sun 's transit through the spiral structure based on CO data has failed to find a correlation . It takes the Solar System about 240 million years to complete one orbit of the Milky Way ( a galactic year ) , so the Sun is thought to have completed 18 -- 20 orbits during its lifetime and 1 / 1250 of a revolution since the origin of humans . The orbital speed of the Solar System about the center of the Milky Way is approximately 220 km / s ( 490,000 mph ) or 0.073 % of the speed of light . The Sun moves through the heliosphere at 84,000 km / h ( 52,000 mph ) . At this speed , it takes around 1,400 years for the Solar System to travel a distance of 1 light - year , or 8 days to travel 1 AU ( astronomical unit ) . The Solar System is headed in the direction of the zodiacal constellation Scorpius , which follows the ecliptic . Galactic rotation Galaxy rotation curve for the Milky Way . Vertical axis is speed of rotation about the Galactic Center . Horizontal axis is distance from the Galactic Center in kpcs . The Sun is marked with a yellow ball . The observed curve of speed of rotation is blue . The predicted curve based upon stellar mass and gas in the Milky Way is red . Scatter in observations roughly indicated by gray bars . The difference is due to dark matter . The stars and gas in the Milky Way rotate about its center differentially , meaning that the rotation period varies with location . As is typical for spiral galaxies , the orbital speed of most stars in the Milky Way does not depend strongly on their distance from the center . Away from the central bulge or outer rim , the typical stellar orbital speed is between 210 and 240 km / s ( 470,000 and 540,000 mph ) . Hence the orbital period of the typical star is directly proportional only to the length of the path traveled . This is unlike the situation within the Solar System , where two - body gravitational dynamics dominate , and different orbits have significantly different velocities associated with them . The rotation curve ( shown in the figure ) describes this rotation . Toward the center of the Milky Way the orbit speeds are too low , whereas beyond 7 kpcs the speeds are too high to match what would be expected from the universal law of gravitation . If the Milky Way contained only the mass observed in stars , gas , and other baryonic ( ordinary ) matter , the rotation speed would decrease with distance from the center . However , the observed curve is relatively flat , indicating that there is additional mass that can not be detected directly with electromagnetic radiation . This inconsistency is attributed to dark matter . The rotation curve of the Milky Way agrees with the universal rotation curve of spiral galaxies , the best evidence for the existence of dark matter in galaxies . Alternatively , a minority of astronomers propose that a modification of the law of gravity may explain the observed rotation curve .

Also see : Human timeline and Life timeline Main article : Galaxy formation and evolution The Milky Way began as one or several small overdensities in the mass distribution in the Universe shortly after the Big Bang . Some of these overdensities were the seeds of globular clusters in which the oldest remaining stars in what is now the Milky Way formed . Nearly half the matter in the Milky Way may have come from other distant galaxies . Nonetheless , these stars and clusters now comprise the stellar halo of the Milky Way . Within a few billion years of the birth of the first stars , the mass of the Milky Way was large enough so that it was spinning relatively quickly . Due to conservation of angular momentum , this led the gaseous interstellar medium to collapse from a roughly spheroidal shape to a disk . Therefore , later generations of stars formed in this spiral disk . Most younger stars , including the Sun , are observed to be in the disk . Since the first stars began to form , the Milky Way has grown through both galaxy mergers ( particularly early in the Milky Way 's growth ) and accretion of gas directly from the Galactic halo . The Milky Way is currently accreting material from two of its nearest satellite galaxies , the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds , through the Magellanic Stream . Direct accretion of gas is observed in high - velocity clouds like the Smith Cloud . However , properties of the Milky Way such as stellar mass , angular momentum , and metallicity in its outermost regions suggest it has undergone no mergers with large galaxies in the last 10 billion years . This lack of recent major mergers is unusual among similar spiral galaxies ; its neighbour the Andromeda Galaxy appears to have a more typical history shaped by more recent mergers with relatively large galaxies . According to recent studies , the Milky Way as well as the Andromeda Galaxy lie in what in the galaxy color -- magnitude diagram is known as the `` green valley '' , a region populated by galaxies in transition from the `` blue cloud '' ( galaxies actively forming new stars ) to the `` red sequence '' ( galaxies that lack star formation ) . Star - formation activity in green valley galaxies is slowing as they run out of star - forming gas in the interstellar medium . In simulated galaxies with similar properties , star formation will typically have been extinguished within about five billion years from now , even accounting for the expected , short - term increase in the rate of star formation due to the collision between both the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy . In fact , measurements of other galaxies similar to the Milky Way suggest it is among the reddest and brightest spiral galaxies that are still forming new stars and it is just slightly bluer than the bluest red sequence galaxies . Age and cosmological History Night sky from a hypothetical planet within the Milky Way 10 billion years ago . Globular clusters are among the oldest objects in the Milky Way , which thus set a lower limit on the age of the Milky Way . The ages of individual stars in the Milky Way can be estimated by measuring the abundance of long - lived radioactive elements such as thorium - 232 and uranium - 238 , then comparing the results to estimates of their original abundance , a technique called nucleocosmochronology . These yield values of about 12.5 ± 3 billion years for CS 31082 - 001 and 13.8 ± 4 billion years for BD + 17 ° 3248 . Once a white dwarf is formed , it begins to undergo radiative cooling and the surface temperature steadily drops . By measuring the temperatures of the coolest of these white dwarfs and comparing them to their expected initial temperature , an age estimate can be made . With this technique , the age of the globular cluster M4 was estimated as 12.7 ± 0.7 billion years . Age estimates of the oldest of these clusters gives a best fit estimate of 12.6 billion years , and a 95 % confidence upper limit of 16 billion years . Several individual stars have been found in the Milky Way 's halo with measured ages very close to the 13.80 - billion - year age of the Universe . In 2007 , a star in the galactic halo , HE 1523 - 0901 , was estimated to be about 13.2 billion years old . As the oldest known object in the Milky Way at that time , this measurement placed a lower limit on the age of the Milky Way . This estimate was made using the UV - Visual Echelle Spectrograph of the Very Large Telescope to measure the relative strengths of spectral lines caused by the presence of thorium and other elements created by the R - process . The line strengths yield abundances of different elemental isotopes , from which an estimate of the age of the star can be derived using nucleocosmochronology . Another star , HD 140283 , is 14.5 ± 0.7 billion years old . The age of stars in the galactic thin disk has also been estimated using nucleocosmochronology . Measurements of thin disk stars yield an estimate that the thin disk formed 8.8 ± 1.7 billion years ago . These measurements suggest there was a hiatus of almost 5 billion years between the formation of the galactic halo and the thin disk . Recent analysis of the chemical signatures of thousands of stars suggests that stellar formation might have dropped by an order of magnitude at the time of disk formation , 10 to 8 billion years ago , when interstellar gas was too hot to form new stars at the same rate as before . The satellite galaxies surrounding the Milky way are not randomly distributed , but seemed to be the result of a break - up of some larger system producing a ring structure 500,000 light years in diameter and 50,000 light years wide . Close encounters between galaxies , like that expected in 4 billion years with the Andromeda Galaxy rips off huge tails of gas , which , over time can coalesce to form dwarf galaxies in a ring at right angles to the main disc . Environment Diagram of the galaxies in the Local Group relative to the Milky Way The position of the Local Group within the Virgo Supercluster Main article : Local Group The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are a binary system of giant spiral galaxies belonging to a group of 50 closely bound galaxies known as the Local Group , surrounded by a Local Void , itself being part of the Virgo Supercluster . Surrounding the Virgo Supercluster are a number of voids , devoid of many galaxies , the Microscopium Void to the `` north '' , the Sculptor Void to the `` left '' , the Bootes Void to the `` right '' and the Canes - Major Void to the South . These voids change shape over time , creating filamentous structures of galaxies . The Virgo Supercluster , for instance , is being drawn towards the Great Attractor , which in turn forms part of a greater structure , called Laniakea . Two smaller galaxies and a number of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group orbit the Milky Way . The largest of these is the Large Magellanic Cloud with a diameter of 14,000 light - years . It has a close companion , the Small Magellanic Cloud . The Magellanic Stream is a stream of neutral hydrogen gas extending from these two small galaxies across 100 ° of the sky . The stream is thought to have been dragged from the Magellanic Clouds in tidal interactions with the Milky Way . Some of the dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way are Canis Major Dwarf ( the closest ) , Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy , Ursa Minor Dwarf , Sculptor Dwarf , Sextans Dwarf , Fornax Dwarf , and Leo I Dwarf . The smallest dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way are only 500 light - years in diameter . These include Carina Dwarf , Draco Dwarf , and Leo II Dwarf . There may still be undetected dwarf galaxies that are dynamically bound to the Milky Way , which is supported by the detection of nine new satellites of the Milky Way in a relatively small patch of the night sky in 2015 . There are also some dwarf galaxies that have already been absorbed by the Milky Way , such as Omega Centauri . In 2014 researchers reported that most satellite galaxies of the Milky Way actually lie in a very large disk and orbit in the same direction . This came as a surprise : according to standard cosmology , the satellite galaxies should form in dark matter halos , and they should be widely distributed and moving in random directions . This discrepancy is still not fully explained . In January 2006 , researchers reported that the heretofore unexplained warp in the disk of the Milky Way has now been mapped and found to be a ripple or vibration set up by the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds as they orbit the Milky Way , causing vibrations when they pass through its edges . Previously , these two galaxies , at around 2 % of the mass of the Milky Way , were considered too small to influence the Milky Way . However , in a computer model , the movement of these two galaxies creates a dark matter wake that amplifies their influence on the larger Milky Way . Current measurements suggest the Andromeda Galaxy is approaching us at 100 to 140 km / s ( 220,000 to 310,000 mph ) . In 3 to 4 billion years , there may be an Andromeda -- Milky Way collision , depending on the importance of unknown lateral components to the galaxies ' relative motion . If they collide , the chance of individual stars colliding with each other is extremely low , but instead the two galaxies will merge to form a single elliptical galaxy or perhaps a large disk galaxy over the course of about a billion years . Velocity Although special relativity states that there is no `` preferred '' inertial frame of reference in space with which to compare the Milky Way , the Milky Way does have a velocity with respect to cosmological frames of reference . One such frame of reference is the Hubble flow , the apparent motions of galaxy clusters due to the expansion of space . Individual galaxies , including the Milky Way , have peculiar velocities relative to the average flow . Thus , to compare the Milky Way to the Hubble flow , one must consider a volume large enough so that the expansion of the Universe dominates over local , random motions . A large enough volume means that the mean motion of galaxies within this volume is equal to the Hubble flow . Astronomers believe the Milky Way is moving at approximately 630 km / s ( 1,400,000 mph ) with respect to this local co-moving frame of reference . The Milky Way is moving in the general direction of the Great Attractor and other galaxy clusters , including the Shapley supercluster , behind it . The Local Group ( a cluster of gravitationally bound galaxies containing , among others , the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy ) is part of a supercluster called the Local Supercluster , centered near the Virgo Cluster : although they are moving away from each other at 967 km / s ( 2,160,000 mph ) as part of the Hubble flow , this velocity is less than would be expected given the 16.8 million pc distance due to the gravitational attraction between the Local Group and the Virgo Cluster . Another reference frame is provided by the cosmic microwave background ( CMB ) . The Milky Way is moving at 552 ± 6 km / s ( 1,235,000 ± 13,000 mph ) with respect to the photons of the CMB , toward 10.5 right ascension , − 24 ° declination ( J2000 epoch , near the center of Hydra ) . This motion is observed by satellites such as the Cosmic Background Explorer ( COBE ) and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) as a dipole contribution to the CMB , as photons in equilibrium in the CMB frame get blue - shifted in the direction of the motion and red - shifted in the opposite direction . Etymology and mythology Main articles : List of names for the Milky Way and Milky Way ( mythology ) In Babylonia , the Milky Way was said to be the tail of Tiamat , set in the sky by Marduk after he had slain the salt water goddess . It is believed this account , from the Enuma Elish had Marduk replace an earlier Sumerian story when Enlil of Nippur had slain the goddess . Llys Dôn ( literally `` The Court of Dôn '' ) is the traditional Welsh name for the constellation Cassiopeia . At least three of Dôn 's children also have astronomical associations : Caer Gwydion ( `` The fortress of Gwydion '' ) is the traditional Welsh name for the Milky Way , and Caer Arianrhod ( `` The Fortress of Arianrhod '' ) being the constellation of Corona Borealis . In western culture the name `` Milky Way '' is derived from its appearance as a dim un-resolved `` milky '' glowing band arching across the night sky . The term is a translation of the Classical Latin via lactea , in turn derived from the Hellenistic Greek γαλαξίας , short for γαλαξίας κύκλος ( galaxías kýklos , `` milky circle '' ) . The Ancient Greek γαλαξίας ( galaxias ) -- from root γαλακτ - , γάλα ( `` milk '' ) + - ίας ( forming adjectives ) -- is also the root of `` galaxy '' , the name for our , and later all such , collections of stars . In Greek mythology it was supposedly made from the forceful suckling of Heracles , when Hera acted as a wetnurse for the hero . The Milky Way , or `` milk circle '' , was just one of 11 `` circles '' the Greeks identified in the sky , others being the zodiac , the meridian , the horizon , the equator , the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn , Arctic and Antarctic circles , and two colure circles passing through both poles . Astronomical History See also : Galaxy § Observation history The shape of the Milky Way as deduced from star counts by William Herschel in 1785 ; the Solar System was assumed near center In Meteorologica ( DK 59 A80 ) , Aristotle ( 384 -- 322 BC ) wrote that the Greek philosophers Anaxagoras ( c. 500 -- 428 BC ) and Democritus ( 460 -- 370 BC ) proposed that the Milky Way might consist of distant stars . However , Aristotle himself believed the Milky Way to be caused by `` the ignition of the fiery exhalation of some stars which were large , numerous and close together '' and that the `` ignition takes place in the upper part of the atmosphere , in the region of the world which is continuous with the heavenly motions . '' The Neoplatonist philosopher Olympiodorus the Younger ( c. 495 -- 570 A.D. ) criticized this view , arguing that if the Milky Way were sublunary , it should appear different at different times and places on Earth , and that it should have parallax , which it does not . In his view , the Milky Way is celestial . This idea would be influential later in the Islamic world . The Persian astronomer Abū Rayhān al - Bīrūnī ( 973 -- 1048 ) proposed that the Milky Way is `` a collection of countless fragments of the nature of nebulous stars '' . The Andalusian astronomer Avempace ( d 1138 ) proposed the Milky Way to be made up of many stars but appears to be a continuous image due to the effect of refraction in Earth 's atmosphere , citing his observation of a conjunction of Jupiter and Mars in 1106 or 1107 as evidence . Ibn Qayyim Al - Jawziyya ( 1292 -- 1350 ) proposed that the Milky Way is `` a myriad of tiny stars packed together in the sphere of the fixed stars '' and that these stars are larger than planets . According to Jamil Ragep , the Persian astronomer Naṣīr al - Dīn al - Ṭūsī ( 1201 -- 1274 ) in his Tadhkira writes : `` The Milky Way , i.e. the Galaxy , is made up of a very large number of small , tightly clustered stars , which , on account of their concentration and smallness , seem to be cloudy patches . Because of this , it was likened to milk in color . '' Actual proof of the Milky Way consisting of many stars came in 1610 when Galileo Galilei used a telescope to study the Milky Way and discovered that it is composed of a huge number of faint stars . In a treatise in 1755 , Immanuel Kant , drawing on earlier work by Thomas Wright , speculated ( correctly ) that the Milky Way might be a rotating body of a huge number of stars , held together by gravitational forces akin to the Solar System but on much larger scales . The resulting disk of stars would be seen as a band on the sky from our perspective inside the disk . Kant also conjectured that some of the nebulae visible in the night sky might be separate `` galaxies '' themselves , similar to our own . Kant referred to both the Milky Way and the `` extragalactic nebulae '' as `` island universes '' , a term still current up to the 1930s . The first attempt to describe the shape of the Milky Way and the position of the Sun within it was carried out by William Herschel in 1785 by carefully counting the number of stars in different regions of the visible sky . He produced a diagram of the shape of the Milky Way with the Solar System close to the center . In 1845 , Lord Rosse constructed a new telescope and was able to distinguish between elliptical and spiral - shaped nebulae . He also managed to make out individual point sources in some of these nebulae , lending credence to Kant 's earlier conjecture . Photograph of the `` Great Andromeda Nebula '' from 1899 , later identified as the Andromeda Galaxy In 1917 , Heber Curtis had observed the nova S Andromedae within the Great Andromeda Nebula ( Messier object 31 ) . Searching the photographic record , he found 11 more novae . Curtis noticed that these novae were , on average , 10 magnitudes fainter than those that occurred within the Milky Way . As a result , he was able to come up with a distance estimate of 150,000 parsecs . He became a proponent of the `` island universes '' hypothesis , which held that the spiral nebulae were actually independent galaxies . In 1920 the Great Debate took place between Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis , concerning the nature of the Milky Way , spiral nebulae , and the dimensions of the Universe . To support his claim that the Great Andromeda Nebula is an external galaxy , Curtis noted the appearance of dark lanes resembling the dust clouds in the Milky Way , as well as the significant Doppler shift . The controversy was conclusively settled by Edwin Hubble in the early 1920s using the Mount Wilson observatory 2.5 m ( 100 in ) Hooker telescope . With the light - gathering power of this new telescope , he was able to produce astronomical photographs that resolved the outer parts of some spiral nebulae as collections of individual stars . He was also able to identify some Cepheid variables that he could use as a benchmark to estimate the distance to the nebulae . He found that the Andromeda Nebula is 275,000 parsecs from the Sun , far too distant to be part of the Milky Way . Mapping The ESA spacecraft Gaia provides distance estimates by determining the parallax of a billion stars and is mapping the Milky Way with four planned releases of maps in 2022 .

Er betrachtete die Fixsterne nicht als ein ungeordnetes und ohne Absicht zerstreutes Gewimmel , sondern er fand eine systematische Verfassung im Ganzen , und eine allgemeine Beziehung dieser Gestirne gegen einen Hauptplan der Raume , die sie einnehmen .

He regarded the fixed stars not as a disorganized swarm that was scattered without a design ; rather , he found a systematic shape in the whole , and a general relation between these stars and the principal plane of the space that they occupy . ) Jump up ^ Kant ( 1755 ) , pages xxxiii -- xxxvi of the Preface ( Vorrede ) : Archived November 20 , 2016 , at the Wayback Machine . `` Ich betrachtete die Art neblichter Sterne , deren Herr von Maupertuis in der Abhandlung von der Figur der Gestirne gedenket , und die die Figur von mehr oder weniger offenen Ellipsen vorstellen , und versicherte mich leicht , daß sie nichts anders als eine Häufung vieler Fixsterne seyn können . Die jederzeit abgemessene Rundung dieser Figuren belehrte mich , daß hier ein unbegreiflich zahlreiches Sternenheer , und zwar um einen gemeinschaftlichen Mittelpunkt , müste geordnet seyn , weil sonst ihre freye Stellungen gegen einander , wohl irreguläre Gestalten , aber nicht abgemessene Figuren vorstellen würden . Ich sahe auch ein : daß sie in dem System , darinn sie sich vereinigt befinden , vornemlich auf eine Fläche beschränkt seyn müßten , weil sie nicht zirkelrunde , sondern elliptische Figuren abbilden , und daß sie wegen ihres blassen Lichts unbegreiflich weit von uns abstehen . '' ( I considered the type of nebulous stars , which Mr. de Maupertuis considered in his treatise on the shape of stars , and which present the figures of more or less open ellipses , and I readily assured myself , that they could be nothing else than a cluster of fixed stars . That these figures always measured round informed me that here an inconceivably numerous host of stars , ( which were clustered ) around a common center , must be orderly , because otherwise their free positions among each other would probably present irregular forms , not measurable figures . I also realized : that in the system in which they find themselves bound , they must be restricted primarily to a plane , because they display not circular , but elliptical figures , and that on account of their faint light , they are located inconceivably far from us . ) Jump up ^ Evans , J.C.

where does most star formation take place in the milky way
[ "Although the disk contains dust that obscures the view in some wavelengths, the halo component does not. Active star formation takes place in the disk (especially in the spiral arms, which represent areas of high density), but does not take place in the halo, as there is little gas cool enough to collapse into stars.[18] Open clusters are also located primarily in the disk.[133]", "Although the disk contains dust that obscures the view in some wavelengths, the halo component does not.

Released September 3 , 2013 ( 2013 - 09 - 03 ) Format CD digital download Recorded 2013 Genre Indie pop Length 3 : 49 Label Epic Songwriter ( s ) Ian Axel Chad King Mike Campbell Producer ( s ) Dan Romer A Great Big World singles chronology `` This Is the New Year '' ( 2013 ) `` Say Something '' ( 2013 ) `` Already Home '' ( 2014 ) `` This Is the New Year '' ( 2013 ) `` Say Something '' ( 2013 ) `` Already Home '' ( 2014 ) Christina Aguilera singles chronology `` Hoy Tengo Ganas Ti '' ( 2013 ) Hoy Tengo Ganas Ti 2013 `` Say Something '' ( 2013 ) Say Something2013 `` We Remain '' ( 2013 ) We Remain 2013 `` Say Something '' is a song by American indie pop duo A Great Big World from their debut album , Is There Anybody Out There ? ( 2013 ) . Written by the duo members -- Ian Axel and Chad King -- alongside Mike Campbell , the song was originally recorded by Axel for his solo album This Is the New Year ( 2011 ) . It was later released as a single by the duo on September 3 , 2013 , by Epic Records . Following its usage on American reality TV show So You Think You Can Dance , the track gained attention from singer Christina Aguilera , who wanted to collaborate with A Great Big World on the song . Quickly afterwards , a re-recorded version of `` Say Something '' with Aguilera was released on November 4 , 2013 . `` Say Something '' is a slow - tempo indie pop piano ballad which talks about a breakup , where the lover is implored to make a statement that could potentially cause the singer to change their mind , with the singers expressing humility , sadness and regret . In the single version with Aguilera , she plays a ghost of the lover to whom the song is addressed as she traces the steps of the lead vocal . The song was praised by music critics for its powerful lyrics , the emotional composition and Aguilera 's vocal delivery . At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards , the song earned A Great Big World and Aguilera a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo / Group Performance . `` Say Something '' did not sell significantly well until the version with Aguilera was available . It debuted at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after A Great Big World and Aguilera performed the song on The Voice . It eventually peaked at number four and has since sold over four million copies in the United States . It also topped the singles charts in Australia , Belgium , and Canada . A music video was released on November 19 , 2013 , featuring the trio singing as people `` act out the heartbreaking lyrics . '' To further promote `` Say Something '' , A Great Big World and Aguilera performed the track at the American Music Awards of 2013 .

This sparked a chain reaction that eventually made its way to Christina Aguilera . `` ' Say Something ' was danced to on So You Think You Can Dance almost two months ago , and so many people responded to it , '' Axel tells Billboard . `` In that whole process , someone on our team played it for someone on Christina 's team , and we got a call that Christina wanted to record it , and then , literally a week later , we were in L.A. recording it with her . '' The pair considers Aguilera as having `` one of the top voices in the world , '' says Chad King , and re-recorded `` Say Something '' with her in two hours . `` We look at Christina as this icon who can say anything and make it sound amazing . '' says King . About approaching to the duo to re-record the track , Aguilera said , `` Somebody sent me the song ( ... ) and it 's just the most simplest song that does n't have to fit a formula to be heard and to be appreciated , so I just heard it and I 've never done anything like this before and I was just like , ' You know ' , I just started to hear a harmony part over it and I was like , ' get in touch with these guys and see if they wan na get in the studio and sit behind the piano and just vibe together and see what happens ... ' and we did , and they 're so humble , so sweet , so down to earth , and I 'm all about that and supporting that , and we came together so organically and it was fun . '' Aguilera also added , `` It 's so quiet and still and steady and in a way pleading , '' she describes the song . `` I 'm only taking on projects that feel good to me and represent , as always , a purpose of the here and now in my life . '' Composition and lyrics ( edit ) `` Say Something '' A 23 second sample of `` Say Something '' . Problems playing this file ? See media help . `` Say Something '' was written by Ian Axel , Chad King , and Mike Campbell while production was handled by Dan Romer . Sonically , the indie pop , piano ballad is underlined by a piano and string arrangement , which was performed by Los Angeles string players Mark Robertson , Andrew Duckles , and Vanessa Freebairn - Smith . The lyrics evoke the emotion felt when choosing to leave a failed relationship even though love still remains , imploring the lover to make a statement that could potentially convince the singer to salvage the relationship instead . For Bill Lamb of About.com , the chorus `` Say something , I 'm giving up on you '' , `` is brilliant . '' Lamb also explained the song , writing that , `` instead of being filled with anger and desperation , it is a song expressing a powerful combination of humility , sadness and regret . '' The song was written at a time when both members were experiencing individual heartbreak . `` Writing the song was part of the healing process , '' says Axel . `` Whenever we perform it , it 's like revisiting the scar . It 's always a part of me , and I can always go there and feel it . '' Lewis Corner of Digital Spy noted that with its `` stripped - down melody and emotive lyrics '' , the song becomes the antithesis of the club - thumping blow - outs radio currently prefers . '' Critical response ( edit ) The personal lyrics , written by the band members ( pictured ) , were highly praised by critics . `` Say Something '' received universal acclaim from music critics , with significant acclaim going towards the emotional tone . Rick Florino of Artist Direct gave the song 5 out of 5 stars , calling it `` Oscar - worthy '' , with `` a cinematic heft to the track that makes it utterly vivid and vibrant . '' Florino also praised Aguilera 's performance , calling it `` one of her best ever , fortifying the hook and harmony masterfully . '' Lewis Corner of Digital Spy praised Aguilera for `` reminding us why she always sounds infinitely better when heading up a ballad '' , calling it `` a beautifully simplistic ode to heartache that evidently connects . '' Robert Copsey also of Digital Spy called it `` one of ( Aguilera 's ) most understated outings in recent memory , and it 's all the better for it . '' Jon O'Brien of Yahoo ! Music noted that the song features Aguilera 's `` most restrained and indeed impressive vocal in years '' , calling the song `` as emotive as it is theatrical . '' Melinda Newman of HitFix praised Aguilera for `` show ( ing ) admirable restraint vocally , beautifully pairing with Axel 's vocals . '' Sam Lansky of Idolator wrote that the song `` was already pretty heartrending , but Aguilera 's vocals provide some lovely support and additional pathos ; it 's a relief to hear that she enriches , rather than overwhelms , the track . '' Bradley Stern of MuuMuse praised the `` slow , sad piano melody '' , the `` mournful strings , '' calling it `` a haunting production -- made even better by the Stripped diva , proving once again that less is often more . '' Stern also praised Aguilera for showing a simple side of her voice , writing that she `` does n't even have her own verse or chorus -- she resigns to delivering subtle , yet effective , backing vocals for the entirety of the re-recording . It 's only in the song 's final few moments that she allows that powerhouse pipes to blow in the background . And those whispers at the very end ? ' Say something , I 'm giving up on you ... ' Gulp . '' Chart performance ( edit ) United States ( edit ) `` We still ca n't even believe that this happened . We can hardly put it into words . Not only did we get to perform on The Voice , but we were honored to do so alongside one of the best voices in the world , ' Christina Aguilera ' .

Music video ( edit ) A music video , directed by Christopher Sims , was already shot on November 8 , 2013 , with Aguilera posting to her Twitter , Facebook and Instagram page a picture of her standing next to a piano , where the duo is playing the track . The music video , which was shot in Los Angeles , was released on November 19 , 2013 , exclusively on Entertainment Tonight , while VEVO premiered the video on November 20 , 2013 . The video features Aguilera in a minimalistic black dress and natural make - up , reminiscent of her `` Beautiful '' days , according to MTV 's Natasha Chandel . In the video , the trio perform the ballad as people -- a child whose parents wo n't stop fighting , a young couple lying coldly side by side , an older man bidding his dying wife goodbye -- act out the heartbreaking lyrics . Reception ( edit ) The scene where Christina Aguilera is shown with tears welling in her eyes was praised by critics and fans alike due to her delivery . The video received widespread acclaim from critics . For Jason Lipshut of Billboard Magazine , `` Aguilera and AGBW 's Ian Axel look utterly sorrowful as they croon the break - up ballad together , with Axel carefully pounding away at the grand piano and Aguilera appearing on the verge of tears as the song reaches its climax . Meanwhile , various tear - inducing images accompany the majestic track , often in slow motion -- most strikingly , an older man climbing into a hospital bed with his peaceful female counterpart and emitting a silent shout . '' Peter Gicas of E ! Online praised Aguilera 's emotion on the video , writing that she `` serves up a certain subtleness to the clip , which is definitely appropriate given the tone of both the ballad and the video itself . '' Bradley Stern of MuuMuse agreed , writing that , `` Armed with nothing else but a piano and an old bed frame by her side , the ' Lotus ' legend bares her soul and gives you pure Stripped - era vulnerability , conjuring the simple - yet - effective one - take video for ' The Voice Within . ' No over-the - top diva theatrics , no wigs -- just raw emotion and a genuinely powerful performance . '' John Walker of MTV Buzzworthy called the video `` equal parts tragically beautiful and beautifully tragic . Like , hand us a bucket , because we are ugly - crying from our eyes , noses , mouths , ears , and at least 17 other places where tear ducts biologically should n't be located . Mike Wass of Idolator also praised the video , writing that , `` In keeping with the song 's soft and subtle tone , the visual is understated and classy . It centers around a bed and the universality of its occupants ' grief . Interspersed with those scenes is footage of the New York - based duo at the piano and Xtina looking utterly perfect in a sleek black dress . Grab a tissue and watch the emotional clip up top . '' Natasha Chandel of MTV praised `` a rare moment , when Xtina breaks down on camera as the hook , ' Say something , I 'm giving up on you ' crescendos , exposing a tender side to the singer that we have n't seen since her album ' Stripped ' . Live performances ( edit ) A Great Big World performing `` Say Something '' at Jonathan Law High School in Milford , Connecticut in May 2013 On November 5 , 2013 , on the 14th episode from the fifth season of The Voice , Christina Aguilera ( one of the competition 's coaches ) performed `` Say Something '' with A Great Big World . The performance consisted of a piano , some strings and a keyboard for instrumentation , while Aguilera `` reining in her voice 's natural power '' , according to Billboard 's Jason Lipshutz . Christina was wearing white t - shirt , jeans and a woolly hat . The performance was lauded by critics and other artists , such as OneRepublic , Christina Perri , Ingrid Michaelson , Cee Lo Green and Carson Daly . Caila Ball of Idolator wrote that , `` She was legendary , obviously . '' Michelle Stark of Tampa Bay Times wrote the performance `` gives us all of the goosebumps . '' British newspaper Daily Mail wrote that Christina `` gave the competitors a master class in subtlety in her touching duet . '' Douglas Cobb of Las Vegas Guardian Express called it `` a very emotional , low - key , cool performance . It was a very tender , touching song -- Christina did great , as usual , singing it . '' Bradley Stern of MuuMuse called the performance `` perfect '' , writing that , `` Christina keeps it as stripped as the studio version , allowing her naturally beautiful vocals to sound a whole lot more vulnerable than usual . The result ? One powerful , devastating performance -- you 'll be seeing your reflejo in the tears streaming down your face in no time . '' A Great Big World and Aguilera also performed the song at the 2013 American Music Awards on November 24 , 2013 . With her hair in a braid and wearing a muted black dress , Aguilera sang an original verse midway through the performance , which included a string section and a fairly bare stage . With A Great Big World 's Chad King manning the keyboard , the group 's Ian Axel sat at the grand piano and stamped his feet furiously as ' Say Something ' approached its emotional climax , '' according to Billboard 's Jason Lipshutz . Lindsay Dreyer of Wetpaint wrote that `` Taking her rightful place center stage in a floor - length black dress and braided updo , the 32 - year - old pop diva harmonized perfectly with the group 's lead singer Ian Axel , who worked the piano with passion and poise . Xtina 's rich yet breathy tone offered just the right amount of strength and vulnerability -- a side of Christina we have n't seen in a really long time . '' Dreyer finished the review stating , `` If tonight 's AMA performance is any indication , Christina is on the brink of a major music comeback -- and we ca n't wait ! . '' The band also performed the song at the 2013 Victoria 's Secret Fashion Show on December 10 , 2013 .

During the sixth week , the duo performed the song for the first time , with Sierra on the piano and Alex on guitar . The performance was praised by the judges , with Kelly Rowland , one of them , feeling like she was watching an awards show performance . Catriona Wightman of Digital Spy called it `` pretty simple , but showed how genuinely talented they are . '' The cover version of the song surpassed A Great Big World and Aguilera 's version on iTunes , climbing to number 1 the morning after they sang it onstage . Series creator and head judge Simon Cowell , who mentored the group , claimed that the duo success is proof that the show is still capable of turning small - town kids into bankable stars . The duo performed the song once again on the finale of the show , eventually winning the competition . On January 19 , 2014 , The Voice of the Philippines coaches Sarah Geronimo and Bamboo performed their own rendition of the song on ABS - CBN 's Sunday variety show ASAP 19 . Right after the performance , the hashtag ' SaySomethingAshBoo ' trended on Twitter . Joe Brooks and Tammin Sursok released a pop rock version of the song on March 29 , 2014 , as a single .

Social influence
Social influence - wikipedia Social influence Jump to : navigation , search Social influence occurs when a person 's emotions , opinions , or behaviors are affected by others . Social influence takes many forms and can be seen in conformity , socialization , peer pressure , obedience , leadership , persuasion , sales , and marketing . In 1958 , Harvard psychologist Herbert Kelman identified three broad varieties of social influence . Compliance is when people appear to agree with others but actually keep their dissenting opinions private . Identification is when people are influenced by someone who is liked and respected , such as a famous celebrity . Internalization is when people accept a belief or behavior and agree both publicly and privately . Morton Deutsch and Harold Gerard described two psychological needs that lead humans to conform to the expectations of others . These include our need to be right ( informational social influence ) and our need to be liked ( normative social influence ) . Informational influence ( or social proof ) is an influence to accept information from another as evidence about reality . Informational influence comes into play when people are uncertain , either because stimuli are intrinsically ambiguous or because there is social disagreement . Normative influence is an influence to conform to the positive expectations of others . In terms of Kelman 's typology , normative influence leads to public compliance , whereas informational influence leads to private acceptance . Contents ( hide ) 1 Types 1.1 Kelman 's varieties 1.1. 1 Compliance 1.1. 2 Identification 1.1. 3 Internalization 1.2 Conformity 1.3 Minority influence 1.4 Self - fulfilling prophecy 1.5 Reactance 1.6 Obedience 1.7 Persuasion 1.8 Psychological manipulation 2 Antecedents 2.1 Social impact theory 2.2 Cialdini 's `` weapons of influence '' 2.3 Unanimity 2.4 Status 2.5 Culture 2.6 Emotions 3 Social structure 3.1 Social networks 4 See also 5 References Types ( edit ) Social Influence is a broad term that relates to many different phenomena . Listed below are some major types of social influence that are being researched in the field of social psychology . For more information , follow the main article links provided . Kelman 's varieties ( edit ) There are three processes of attitude change as defined by Harvard psychologist Herbert Kelman in a 1958 paper published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution . The purpose of defining these processes was to help determine the effects of social influence : for example , to separate public conformity ( behavior ) from private acceptance ( personal belief ) . Compliance ( edit ) Main article : Compliance ( psychology ) Compliance is the act of responding favorably to an explicit or implicit request offered by others . Technically , compliance is a change in behavior but not necessarily in attitude ; one can comply due to mere obedience or by otherwise opting to withhold private thoughts due to social pressures . According to Kelman 's 1958 paper , the satisfaction derived from compliance is due to the social effect of the accepting influence ( i.e. , people comply for an expected reward or punishment - aversion ) . Identification ( edit ) Main article : Identification ( psychology ) Identification is the changing of attitudes or behaviors due to the influence of someone who is admired . Advertisements that rely upon celebrity endorsements to market their products are taking advantage of this phenomenon . According to Kelman , the desired relationship that the identifier relates to the behavior or attitude change . Internalization ( edit ) Main article : Internalization Internalization is the process of acceptance of a set of norms established by people or groups that are influential to the individual . The individual accepts the influence because the content of the influence accepted is intrinsically rewarding . It is congruent with the individual 's value system , and according to Kelman the `` reward '' of internalization is `` the content of the new behavior '' . Conformity ( edit ) Main article : Conformity Conformity is a type of social influence involving a change in behavior , belief , or thinking to align with those of others or with normative standards . It is the most common and pervasive form of social influence . Social psychology research in conformity tends to distinguish between two varieties : informational conformity ( also called social proof , or `` internalization '' in Kelman 's terms ) and normative conformity ( `` compliance '' in Kelman 's terms ) . In the case of peer pressure , a person is convinced to do something that they might not want to do ( such as taking illegal drugs ) but which they perceive as `` necessary '' to keep a positive relationship with other people ( such as their friends ) . Conformity from peer pressure generally results from identification with the group members or from compliance of some members to appease others . Conformity can be in appearance , or may be more complete in nature ; impacting an individual both publicly and privately . Compliance ( also referred to as acquiescence ) demonstrates a public conformity to a group majority or norm , while the individual continues to privately disagree or dissent , holding on to their original beliefs or to an alternative set of beliefs differing from the majority . Compliance appears as conformity , but there is a division between the public and the private self . Conversion includes the private acceptance that is absent in compliance . The individual 's original behaviour , beliefs , or thinking changes to align with that of others ( the influencers ) , both publicly and privately . The individual has accepted the behavior , belief , or thinking , and has internalized it , making it his own . Conversion may also refer to individual members of a group changing from their initial ( and varied ) opinions to adopt the opinions of others , which may differ from their original opinions . The resulting group position may be a hybrid of various aspects of individual initial opinions , or it may be an alternative independent of the initial positions reached through consensus . What appears to be conformity may in fact be congruence . Congruence occurs when an individual 's behavior , belief , or thinking is already aligned with that of the others , and no change occurs . In situations where conformity ( including compliance , conversion , and congruence ) is absent , there are non-conformity processes such as independence and anti-conformity . Independence , also referred to as dissent , involves an individual ( either through their actions or lack of action , or through the public expression of their beliefs or thinking ) being aligned with their personal standards but inconsistent with those of other members of the group ( either all of the group or a majority ) . Anti-conformity , also referred to as counter-conformity , may appear as independence , but it lacks alignment with personal standards and is for the purpose of challenging the group . Actions as well as stated opinions and beliefs are often diametrically opposed to that of the group norm or majority . The underlying reasons for this type of behavior may be rebelliousness / obstinacy or it may be to ensure that all alternatives and view points are given due consideration . Minority influence ( edit ) Main article : Minority influence Minority influence takes place when a majority is influenced to accept the beliefs or behaviors of a minority . Minority influence can be affected by the sizes of majority and minority groups , the level of consistency of the minority group , and situational factors ( such as the affluence or social importance of the minority ) . Minority influence most often operates through informational social influence ( as opposed to normative social influence ) because the majority may be indifferent to the liking of the minority . Self - fulfilling prophecy ( edit ) Main article : Self - fulfilling prophecy A self - fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true due to positive feedback between belief and behavior . A prophecy declared as truth ( when it is actually false ) may sufficiently influence people , either through fear or logical confusion , so that their reactions ultimately fulfill the once - false prophecy . This term is credited to sociologist Robert K. Merton from an article he published in 1948 . Reactance ( edit ) Main article : Reactance ( psychology ) Reactance is the adoption of a view contrary to the view that a person is being pressured to accept , perhaps due to a perceived threat to behavioral freedoms . This phenomenon has also been called anticonformity . While the results are the opposite of what the influencer intended , the reactive behavior is a result of social pressure . It is notable that anticonformity does not necessarily mean independence . In many studies , reactance manifests itself in a deliberate rejection of an influence , even if the influence is clearly correct . Obedience ( edit ) Main article : Obedience ( human behavior ) Obedience is a form of social influence that derives from an authority figure . The Milgram experiment , Zimbardo 's Stanford prison experiment , and the Hofling hospital experiment are three particularly well - known experiments on obedience , and they all conclude that humans are surprisingly obedient in the presence of perceived legitimate authority figures . Persuasion ( edit ) Main article : Persuasion Persuasion is the process of guiding oneself or another toward the adoption of an attitude by rational or symbolic means . Robert Cialdini defined six `` weapons of influence '' : reciprocity , commitment , social proof , authority , liking , and scarcity . These `` weapons of influence '' attempt to bring about conformity by directed means . Persuasion can occur through appeals to reason or appeals to emotion . Psychological manipulation ( edit ) Main article : Psychological manipulation Psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that aims to change the behavior or perception of others through abusive , deceptive , or underhanded tactics . By advancing the interests of the manipulator , often at another 's expense , such methods could be considered exploitative , abusive , devious , and deceptive . Social influence is not necessarily negative . For example , doctors can try to persuade patients to change unhealthy habits . Social influence is generally perceived to be harmless when it respects the right of the influenced to accept or reject it , and is not unduly coercive . Depending on the context and motivations , social influence may constitute underhanded manipulation . Antecedents ( edit ) Many factors can affect the impact of social influence . Social impact theory ( edit ) Main article : Social impact theory Social impact theory was developed by Bibb Latané in 1981 . This theory asserts that there are three factors which increase a person 's likelihood to respond to social influence : Strength : The importance of the influencing group to the individual Immediacy : Physical ( and temporal ) proximity of the influencing group to the individual at the time of the influence attempt Number : The number of people in the group Cialdini 's `` weapons of influence '' ( edit ) Robert Cialdini defines six `` weapons of influence '' that can contribute to an individual 's propensity to be influenced by a persuader : Reciprocity : People tend to return a favor . Commitment and consistency : People do not like to be self - contradictory . Once they commit to an idea or behavior , they are averse to changing their minds without good reason . Social proof : People will be more open to things that they see others doing . For example , seeing others compost their organic waste after finishing a meal may influence the subject to do so as well . Authority : People will tend to obey authority figures . Liking : People are more easily swayed by people they like . Scarcity : A perceived limitation of resources will generate demand . Unanimity ( edit ) Social Influence is strongest when the group perpetrating it is consistent and committed . Even a single instance of dissent can greatly wane the strength of an influence . For example , in Milgram 's first set of obedience experiments , 65 % of participants complied with fake authority figures to administer `` maximum shocks '' to a confederate . In iterations of the Milgram experiment where three people administered shocks ( two of whom were confederates ) , once one confederate disobeyed , only ten percent of subjects administered the maximum shocks . Status ( edit ) Main article : Appeal to authority See also : Reputation Those perceived as experts may exert social influence as a result of their perceived expertise . This involves credibility , a tool of social influence from which one draws upon the notion of trust . People believe an individual to be credible for a variety of reasons , such as perceived experience , attractiveness , knowledge , etc . Additionally , pressure to maintain one 's reputation and not be viewed as fringe may increase the tendency to agree with the group . This phenomenon is known as groupthink . Appeals to authority may especially affect norms of obedience . The compliance of normal humans to authority in the famous Milgram experiment demonstrate the power of perceived authority . Those with access to the media may use this access in an attempt to influence the public . For example , a politician may use speeches to persuade the public to support issues that he or she does not have the power to impose on the public . This is often referred to as using the `` bully pulpit . '' Likewise , celebrities do n't usually possess any political power , but they are familiar to many of the world 's citizens and , therefore , possess social status . Power is one of the biggest reasons an individual feels the need to follow through with the suggestions of another . A person who possesses more authority ( or is perceived as being more powerful ) than others in a group is an icon or is most `` popular '' within a group . This person has the most influence over others . For example , in a child 's school life , people who seem to control the perceptions of the students at school are most powerful in having a social influence over other children . Culture ( edit ) Culture appears to play a role in the willingness of an individual to conform to the standards of a group . Stanley Milgram found that conformity was higher in Norway than in France . This has been attributed to Norway 's longstanding tradition of social responsibility , compared to France 's cultural focus on individualism . Japan likewise has a collectivist culture and thus a higher propensity to conformity . However , a 1970 Asch - style study found that when alienated , Japanese students were more susceptible to anticonformity ( giving answers that were incorrect even when the group had collaborated on correct answers ) one third of the time , significantly higher than has been seen in Asch studies in the past . While gender does not significantly affect a person 's likelihood to conform , under certain conditions gender roles do affect such a likelihood . Studies from the 1950s and 1960s concluded that women were more likely to conform than men . But a 1971 study found that experimenter bias was involved ; all of the researchers were male , while all of the research participants were female . Studies thereafter found that the likelihood to conform almost equal between the genders . Furthermore , men conformed more often when faced with traditionally feminine topics , and women conformed more often when presented with masculine topics . In other words , ignorance about a subject can lead a person to defer to `` social proof '' . Emotions ( edit ) Main article : Appeal to emotion Emotion and disposition may affect an individual 's likelihood of conformity or anticonformity . In 2009 , a study concluded that fear increases the chance of agreeing with a group , while romance or lust increases the chance of going against the group . Social structure ( edit ) Social networks ( edit ) Main article : Social network analysis A social network is a social structure made up of nodes ( representing individuals or organizations ) which are connected ( through ties , also called edges , connections , or links ) by one or more types of interdependency ( such as friendship , common interests or beliefs , sexual relations , or kinship ) . Social network analysis uses the lens of network theory to examine social relationships . Social network analysis as a field has become more prominent since the mid-20th century in determining the channels and effects of social influence . For example , Christakis and Fowler found that social networks transmit states and behaviors such as obesity , smoking , drinking and happiness . Identifying the extent of social influence , based on large - scale observational data with a latent social network structure , is pertinent to a variety of collective social phenomena including crime , civil unrest , and voting behavior in elections . For example , methodologies for disentangling social influence by peers from external influences -- with latent social network structures and large - scale observational data -- were applied to US presidential elections , stock markets , and civil unrest .

Children's hospital
Children 's hospital - wikipedia Children 's hospital Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Children 's hospital ( disambiguation ) . Child at the St. Louis Children 's Hospital A children 's hospital is a hospital which offers its services exclusively to children and adolescents . Most children 's hospitals can serve children from birth up to the age of 18 , or in some instances , children 's hospitals ' doctors may treat children until they finish high school . The number of children 's hospitals proliferated in the 20th century , as pediatric medical and surgical specialties separated from internal medicine and adult surgical specialties . Children 's hospitals are characterized by greater attention to the psychosocial support of children and their families . Some children and young people have to spend relatively long periods in hospital , so having access to play and teaching staff can also be an important part of their care . With local partnerships this can include trips to local botanical gardens , zoo , and public libraries for instance . In addition to psychosocial support , children 's hospitals have the added benefit of being staffed by professionals who are trained in treating children . A medical doctor that undertakes vocational training in paediatrics must also be accepted for membership by a professional college before they can practice paediatrics . These include the Royal Australasian College of Physicians RACP , Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health RCPCH , and the American Board of Pediatrics . In New Zealand the RACP offers vocational training in paediatrics . Once RACP training is completed the doctor is awarded the Fellowship of the RACP ( FRACP ) in paediatrics . While many normal hospitals can treat children adequately , pediatric specialists may be a better choice when it comes to treating rare afflictions that may prove fatal or severely detrimental to young children , in some cases before birth . Also , many children 's hospitals will continue to see children with rare illnesses into adulthood , allowing for a continuity of care . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Early Voluntary Care 1.2 19th - century models 1.3 Professionalization of Children 's Hospitals 2 Utilization 3 Ranking 4 See also 5 References History ( edit ) Early voluntary care ( edit ) Prior to the 19th century hospital reforms , the well - being of the child was thought to be in the hands of the mother ; therefore , there was little discussion of children 's medicine , and as a result next to no widespread formal institutions which focused on healing children . There were however centres which focused on helping abandoned children and offering care in hopes that these children might survive into adulthood . Some examples include orphanages , dispensaries , and foundling hospitals . Florence 's Hospital of the Innocent ( Ospedale degli Innocenti ) was originally a charity based orphanage which opened in 1445 ; its aim was to nurse sick and abandoned infants back to health . A later example and better established institution whose goal it was to help rehabilitate infants was the Foundling Hospital founded by Thomas Coram in 1741 . Foundling hospitals were set up to receive abandoned infants , nurse them back to health , teach them a trade or skill , and integrate them back into society . Coram 's foundling hospital was revolutionary because it was one of the United Kingdoms first children charities . Moreover , it was largely made successful by the powerful people who donated money to the hospital . Coram 's hospital would eventually be faced with the fact that the number of infants needing care outweighed their hospitals capacity . In order to accommodate the number of children in need , there were attempts to set up similar hospitals throughout the UK ; they ultimately were unsuccessful due to the lack of funding . Simultaneously , dispensaries which were also funded by donations were being opened in order to provide medicine and medical attention to those who could not afford private care . Dispensaries and foundling hospitals were the earliest forms of what would later become children 's hospitals . The establishing of the Foundling Hospital by Thomas Coram was a direct response to the high infant mortality rate in London , England . Although foundling hospitals acknowledged the high infant mortality rate , infant mortality would not be addressed in a wide spread way until the early 19th century when children 's hospitals would begin to open in Vienna , Moscow , Prague , Berlin , and various other major cities throughout Europe . 19th - century models ( edit ) In America , by the mid-19th century middle - class women and physicians became increasingly concerned about the well - being of children in poor living conditions . Although infant mortality had begun to decline , it still remained a prominent issue . Social reformers blamed the emergence of the industrial society and poor parents for not properly caring for their children . In response , reformers and physicians founded children 's hospitals across the country . Early children 's hospitals were set up in converted houses not only to help the children transition from leaving their home to being in a hospital , but also because it was often the only space available . Early children 's hospitals focused more on short - term care and treating mild illnesses rather than long - term intensive care . Treating serious diseases and illnesses in early children 's hospitals could result in the disease spreading throughout the hospital which would drain their already limited resources . A serious disease outbreak in a children 's hospital would result in more deaths than lives saved and would therefore reinforce the previous notion that people often died while in the hospital . Like those found in the United States , children 's hospitals in the United Kingdom in the 19th century often resembled middle - class homes . British children 's hospitals introduced rules to which patients and their families were expected to adhere ; these rules carefully lined out middle - class values and expectations . British children 's hospitals , like their American and Canadian counterparts , relied heavily on donations from the rich . Donations came in the form of money , food , toys , and clothes for the children . The United Kingdom 's children 's hospitals were soon faced with the reality that their small and vulnerable patient would soon outnumber their resources . In order to maintain the cost of running these new hospitals throughout the United Kingdom , the upper classes needed to market their hospitals as centres for reform . In order to brand themselves as reformers , they had to contrast themselves against the parents ; this meant they had to portray the poor parents as incompetent . Despite their mission to save children , hospitals in Britain and Glasgow rarely admitted children under the age of two ; such children were deemed costly and needed constant attention . Similar to the American hospitals , those located in Europe were also hesitant to admit children who required long - term care in fear that those lives would be lost or that long - term care would block beds for those in immediate need . The intentions of the hospitals built in Europe were to provide care for those who could not afford care . Care was primarily provided to those who met the age requirements and were willing to adhere to the hospital 's rules . Since early children 's hospitals relied on donations , they were often underfunded , overcrowded , and lacking medical resources . The first formally recognized paediatrics hospital was the Hôpital des Enfants Malades in Paris , France , which opened in 1802 . The United Kingdom was slow to follow and established The Great Ormond Street Hospital in London , England , in 1852 , which marked the opening of the first British children 's hospital . The United States would soon follow and established The Children 's Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania in 1855 . Canada established their first children 's hospital in 1875 ; The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto , Ontario , along with the latter all remain open today . By the end of the 19th century , and the during the first two decades of the 20th century , the number of children 's hospitals tripled in both Canada and the United States . The first children 's hospital in Scotland opened in 1860 in Edinburgh . Professionalization of children 's hospitals ( edit ) In the 19th century , there was a societal shift in how children were viewed . This shift took away some of the parents ' control and placed it in the hands of medical professionals . By the early 20th century , a child 's health became increasingly tied to physicians and hospitals . Unlike the professionalization of nursing , the medical field professionalized at a greater speed . This was a result of licensing acts , the formation of medical associations , and new fields of medicine being introduced across countries . These new areas of medicine offered physicians the chance to build their careers by `` overseeing the medical needs of private patients , caring for and trying new therapies on the sick poor , and teaching medical students . '' In order to raise their status further , physicians began organizing children 's hospitals ; by doing so , it also brought attention and importance to their speciality in the modern health care system . This idea brought about the creation of children 's hospitals in Philadelphia , Boston , Washington , D.C , and San Francisco -- all which emphasized children as their focus . Along with specialized physicians , the 20th century brought the removal of voluntary or religiously associated female care and replaced it with professionally trained nurses . In addition to separate institutions for children and a professional staff , both medical and technological advancement helped solidify children 's hospitals as centres of physical healing . The discovery of vaccines , anaesthetics , and surgical improvements made children 's hospitals more reliable and more effective in the treatment of childhood disease and illness . Utilization ( edit ) Using hospital discharge data from 2003 - 2011 , the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality ( AHRQ ) studied trends in aggregate hospital costs , average hospital costs , and hospital utilization . The Agency found that for children aged 0 -- 17 , aggregate costs rose rapidly for the surgical hospitalizations and decreased for injury hospitalizations . Further , average hospital costs , or cost per discharge , increased at least 2 % for all hospitalizations and were expected to grow by at least 4 % through 2013 . The exception to this was mental health hospitalizations , which saw a lower percentage increase of 1.2 % , and was projected to increase only 0.9 % through 2013 . Despite the rising aggregate costs and costs per discharge , hospitalizations ( except for mental health hospitalizations ) for children aged 0 -- 17 decreased over the same time , and were projected to continue decreasing . In 2006 - 2011 , the rate of ED use in the United States was highest for patients aged under one year , but lowest for patients aged 1 -- 17 years . The rate of ED use for patients aged under one year declined over the same time period ; this was the only age group to see a decline . Between 2008 and 2012 , growth in mean hospital costs per stay in the United States was highest for patients aged 17 and younger . In 2012 there were nearly 5.9 million hospital stays for children in the United States , of which 3.9 million were neonatal stays and 104,700 were maternal stays for pregnant teens . Ranking ( edit ) Every year US News & World Report ranks the top children 's hospitals and pediatric specialties in the United States . For the year 2010 - 2011 , eight hospitals ranked in all 10 pediatric specialties . The ranking system used by US News & World Report depends on a variety of factors . In past years ( 2007 was the 18th year of Pediatric Ranking ) , ranking of hospitals has been done solely on the basis of reputation , gauged by random sampling and surveying of pediatricians and pediatric specialists throughout the country . The ranking system used is currently under review .

'' Bo Belinsky threw the first no - hitter in Angels history on May 5 , 1962 ; the most recent no - hitter was thrown by Jered Weaver on May 2 , 2012 . Two left - handed starting pitchers have thrown no - hitters in franchise history . The longest interval between no - hitters was between the games pitched by Langston / Witt and Santana , encompassing more than 21 years from April 11 , 1990 till July 27 , 2011 . Conversely , the shortest interval between no - hitters was between the games pitched by Nolan Ryan , encompassing 2 months from May 15 , 1973 to July 15 , 1973 . They no - hit the Baltimore Orioles the most , which occurred twice , which were no - hit by Belinsky in 1962 and Nolan Ryan in 1975 . There has been one no - hitter in which the team allowed at least a run . Ervin Santana 's no - hitter on July 27 , 2011 had an unearned run score on a wild pitch in the first inning , but then Santana settled down and completed his rare feat . The most baserunners allowed in a no - hitter was by Ryan ( in 1974 ) , who allowed eight . Six no - hitters were thrown at home , and four were thrown on the road . They threw one in April , three in May , one in June , three in July , and two in September . Of the 10 no - hitters , three have been won by a score of 1 -- 0 , more common than any other results . The largest margin of victory in a no - hitter was 9 -- 0 win by Jered Weaver on May 2 , 2012 . The smallest margin of victory was 1 -- 0 wins by Ryan in 1975 , Mike Witt in 1984 and a combined no - hitter led by Langston in 1990 . The umpire is also an integral part of any no - hitter . The task of the umpire in a baseball game is to make any decision `` which involves judgment , such as , but not limited to , whether a batted ball is fair or foul , whether a pitch is a strike or a ball , or whether a runner is safe or out ... ( the umpire 's judgment on such matters ) is final . '' Part of the duties of the umpire making calls at home plate includes defining the strike zone , which `` is defined as that area over homeplate ( sic ) the upper limit of which is a horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants , and the lower level is a line at the hollow beneath the kneecap . '' These calls define every baseball game and are therefore integral to the completion of any no - hitter . A different umpire presided over each of the franchise 's ten no - hitters . The manager is another integral part of any no - hitter . The tasks of the manager include determining the starting rotation as well as batting order and defensive lineup every game . Seven different managers have been involved in the franchise 's ten no - hitters .

Under the Constitution of Finland , executive power is vested in the President and the Finnish Government , with the former possessing only residual powers . The President is directly elected by universal suffrage for a term of six years . Since 1991 , no President may be elected for more than two consecutive terms . The President must be a jus soli Finnish citizen . The Presidential office was established in the Constitution Act of 1919 . Since March 1 , 2012 , the President of Finland has been Sauli Niinistö . Finland has , for most of its independence , had a semi-presidential system , but in the late 20th and early 21st centuries , the powers of the President have been subject to decrease . In constitution amendments , which came into effect in the years 1991 , 2000 , and 2012 , the President 's position has become increasingly symbolic . However , the President still leads the nation 's foreign politics in conjunction with the Government , and is the chief - in - command of the Finnish Defence Forces .

This is in contrast to the former presidents , who retain the title `` President '' . Election ( edit ) Candidates for president can be nominated by registered parties which have received at least one seat in the preceding parliamentary election . A candidate may also be nominated by 20,000 enfranchised citizens . Between 1919 and 1988 , the president was elected indirectly by an electoral college made up of electors chosen by voters in the presidential election . In the 1988 presidential election , a direct and an indirect election were conducted in parallel : if no candidate could gain a majority , the president was elected by an electoral college formed in the same elections . Since 1994 , the president has been elected by a direct popular vote . If only one candidate is nominated , that candidate becomes President without an election . Otherwise , the first round of balloting takes place on the third Sunday of January in the election year . The elections are two - staged . If one of the candidates receives more than half of the votes cast , that candidate is elected President . If no candidate wins a majority in the first stage , the top two candidates rerun in the second stage three weeks later . The candidate who then receives more votes is elected . In the event of a tie , the election is resolved by lot . The Council of State confirms the outcome of the election and , if necessary , conducts the drawing of lots . The President assumes office on the first day of the month following the election ( either 1 February or 1 March depending on whether there were one or two rounds ) . There have been several exceptional presidential elections . The first president , Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg , was chosen by the Finnish parliament due to the transition rule of the constitution and also due to the martial law . In 1940 and 1943 , the 1937 electoral college chose the president , as it was felt that a popular election could not be arranged due to the martial law ( 1940 ) and the Continuation War ( 1943 ) . In 1944 special legislation directly stipulated that Marshal Mannerheim be elected president for six years after Risto Ryti had resigned mid-term . In 1946 , special legislation empowered the Parliament to choose a successor for the remainder of Mannerheim 's term ( until 1950 ) , the latter having resigned . Parliament then chose Prime Minister Juho Kusti Paasikivi as president . In 1973 , special legislation extended President Urho Kekkonen 's term by four years until 1978 , when he was re-elected regularly . e d Candidate Party Votes % Sauli Niinistö Independent 1,875,342 62.6 Pekka Haavisto Green League VIHR 371,254 12.4 Laura Huhtasaari Finns Party PS 207,337 6.9 Paavo Väyrynen Independent 185,305 6.2 Matti Vanhanen Centre Party KESK 122,383 4.1 Tuula Haatainen Social Democratic Party SDP 97,294 3.2 Merja Kyllönen Left Alliance VAS 89,977 3.0 Nils Torvalds Swedish People 's Party RKP 44,776 1.5 Total 2,993,668 100 % Valid votes 2,993,668 99.7 Rejected votes 9,042 0.3 Turnout 3,002,710 66.8 Registered voters 4,498,004 Source : Ministry of Justice Inauguration ( edit ) The President - elect , accompanied by the Speaker of the Parliament and the outgoing President , assumes office on the first day of the month following the election by making a solemn affirmation in both Finnish and Swedish at a ceremony in Parliament House . The affirmation is specified in Section 56 of the Constitution : In Finnish : `` Minä N.N. , jonka Suomen kansa on valinnut Suomen tasavallan presidentiksi , vakuutan , että minä presidentintoimessani vilpittömästi ja uskollisesti noudatan tasavallan valtiosääntöä ja lakeja sekä kaikin voimin edistän Suomen kansan menestystä . '' In Swedish : `` Jag N.N. , som av Finlands folk har valts till president för republiken Finland , försäkrar att jag i utövningen av presidentämbetet redligt och troget skall följa republikens konstitution och lagar samt efter all min förmåga främja det finska folkets välfärd . '' In English : `` I , N.N. , whom the people of Finland have elected President of the Republic of Finland , affirm that in the execution of my office as President I shall sincerely and faithfully observe the Constitution and laws of the Republic and to the best of my ability promote the welfare of the Finnish people . '' The term of the President - elect begins at the moment the solemn affirmation has been made ( about 12 : 20 on the day of the inauguration ) . After the inauguration , the new President , accompanied by the President 's predecessor , inspects the guard of honour outside Parliament House . Presidential government sessions ( edit ) The President exercises his governmental powers `` in council '' with the Finnish Government , echoing the royal curia regis . The session ( presidentin esittely ) is customarily arranged once a week . There is quorum of five ministers and the Chancellor of Justice is present as well . In the session , the respective ministers present the topic and a proposal for decision . Based on the proposal , the President makes his decision . The President may depart from the proposal and may return the proposal to the Government for reconsideration . There is no voting and normally there are no speeches aside from the aforementioned proposals . Except for approvals of new laws and appointments , the Government may present the issue to the Parliament , which will make the final decision on the matter on the Government 's proposal . Duties and powers ( edit ) The Presidential Palace , Helsinki is the official state residence of the president The president 's functions and powers are directly defined in the Constitution . In addition to those specified there , the President also discharges functions assigned to the President in other laws . Under the Constitution of Finland , executive power is vested in the President and the council of state , which must enjoy the confidence of parliament . This principle is reflected in other provisions of the constitution concerning the president 's functions and powers dealing with legislation , decrees , and appointment of public officials . Custom dictates that the president upon taking office renounce any party affiliation , so that the President may appear neutral . The president 's powers were once so broad that it was said Finland was the only real monarchy in northern Europe . However , amendments passed in 1999 reduced his powers somewhat , and the president now shares executive authority with the prime minister . Mäntyniemi the private residence of the president Ordering premature parliamentary elections ( edit ) Upon the proposal of the prime minister , the president may , having consulted the parliamentary groups and while Parliament is in session , order the holding of premature parliamentary election . The new parliament is chosen for a normal four - year term . Parliament itself may decide when to end its session before the election day . From 1919 to 1991 the president 's power to order a premature election was unqualified and he could do so whenever considered necessary . Presidents have ordered premature parliamentary elections on seven occasions . The President declares each annual session of parliament open and closes the last Annual Session . This is done in a speech at each opening and closing ceremony . Appointing and Discharging ministers ( edit ) The prime minister and other members of the government are appointed and discharged by the President . After parliamentary elections or in any other situation where the government has resigned , the President , taking into account the result of consultations between the parliamentary groups and having heard the view of the speaker , submits a nominee for Prime Minister to Parliament . If confirmed by parliament with a majority of the votes cast , the President then proceeds to appoint the Prime Minister and other ministers . The President is constitutionally required to dismiss a government or any minister as soon as that government has lost the confidence of Parliament . Appointing powers ( edit ) Presidential Standard of 1944 - 1946 Presidential Standard of 1920 - 1944 and 1946 - 1978 Presidential Standard since 1978 The President appoints : Governor , and other members of the board of the Bank of Finland Chancellor of justice and the vice-chancellor of justice Prosecutor - general and the vice prosecutor - general Ambassadors and heads of diplomatic missions abroad Executive of Kela ( Social Insurance Institution ) Secretary general and presenters at Office of the President of the Republic Most of the appointment process is conducted at the respective ministry : The Office of the President does not process preparations or presentations of the appointment . Nevertheless , presidents have used these powers publicly , even against the internal recommendation of the agency . In addition , the president appoints or gives commission to : Officers of the Finnish Defence Forces and the Finnish Border Guard Permanent judges , including presidents and members of the supreme court and the Supreme Administrative Court , presidents and members of the courts of appeal and administrative courts of appeal International relations ( edit ) The president conducts Finland 's foreign policy in co-operation with the council of state . The provisions of treaties and other international obligations that affect domestic legislation are implemented by acts of parliament . Otherwise , international obligations are implemented by a presidential decree . Decisions on war and peace are taken by the president with the assent of parliament . Legislation ( edit ) The President must sign and approve all bills adopted by Parliament before they become law . The President must decide on ratification within three months of receiving the bill and may request an opinion from the Supreme Court or the Supreme Administrative Court before giving assent . Should the President refuse assent or fail to decide on the matter in time , Parliament reconsiders the bill and can readopt it with a majority of votes cast . The bill will then enter into force without ratification . If Parliament fails to readopt the bill , it is deemed to have lapsed . Presidential vetoes are generally successful in preventing the bill becoming law . Presidential pardon ( edit ) In single cases , the president has the power of pardon from any imprisonment , fine , or forfeiture . General pardon requires an act of parliament . The power of pardon has effectively become the instrument to limit `` life imprisonments '' to 12 years or more , since successive Presidents have eventually given pardon to all felons . The President , however , retains the power to deny pardon . In autumn 2006 , the regular paroling of convicts serving a life sentence power was transferred to the Helsinki Court of Appeals , and the peculiar arrangement , where the President exercises judicial power , ended . The presidential power of giving pardon is , however , retained , although its use will diminish . Commander - in - chief of the defence Forces ( edit ) The president is the commander - in - chief of the Finnish Defence Forces , but may delegate this position to another Finnish citizen . Delegation of the position of commander - in - chief is an exception to the principle that the president can not delegate functions to others . The last time this has occurred was in the Second World War . The president commissions officers and decides on the mobilisation of the defence forces . If parliament is not in session when a decision to mobilise is taken , it must be immediately convened . As commander - in - chief the president has the power to issue military orders concerning general guidelines for military defence , significant changes in military preparedness and the principles according to which military defence is implemented . Decisions concerning military orders are made by the president in conjunction with the prime minister , and the Minister of Defence . The president decides on military appointments in conjunction with the minister of defence . Emergency powers ( edit ) Under the Preparedness Act , in exceptional circumstances the president may issue a decree authorising the government to exercise emergency powers for up to one year at a time . The decree must be submitted to Parliament for its approval . Should the powers available under the Preparedness Act prove inadequate in an emergency , additional powers can be assumed under the State of Defence Act . The President may declare a state of defence by decree for a maximum of three months initially . If necessary , it can be extended for a maximum of one year at a time . A state of defence may also be declared in a region of the country . The decree must be submitted to parliament for approval . Decorations ( edit ) Main article : Orders , decorations , and medals of Finland The President , as Grand Master , awards decorations and medals belonging to the Order of the White Rose of Finland , the Order of the Lion of Finland and the Order of the Cross of Liberty to Finnish and foreign citizens . Likewise , titles of honor are awarded by the president ; these include , for example , Professor and different Counsellor titles . These titles are symbolic , carry no responsibilities and have a similar role as knighting in monarchies . The highest titles are valtioneuvos ( statesman ) and vuorineuvos ( industrial ) . Speeches ( edit ) The President makes a number of important public speeches and statements each year . The most notable of these are the annual New Year 's Speech on 1 January , and the speech at the opening of each annual session of parliament . Compensation ( edit ) The president receives an annual salary of 160,000 euros . The salary and other benefits are exempt from all taxes . Presidents of Finland ( edit ) Main article : List of presidents of Finland See also : List of Presidents of Finland by time in office Living former presidents ( edit ) Martti Ahtisaari ( 1994 -- 2000 ) ( 1937 - 06 - 23 ) 23 June 1937 ( age 80 ) Tarja Halonen ( 2000 -- 2012 ) ( 1943 - 12 - 24 ) 24 December 1943 ( age 74 ) Official residences ( edit ) The president has the use of three properties for residential and hospitality purposes : the Presidential Palace and Mäntyniemi , both in Helsinki , and Kultaranta in Naantali on the west coast near Turku . Incapacity and succession ( edit ) The President of Finland does not have a vice president . If the president is temporarily prevented from performing his or her duties , the prime minister or the deputy prime minister becomes acting president until the president 's incapacity ceases . If the president dies in office or if the Cabinet declares that the President is permanently unable to carry out the duties of office , a new president is elected as soon as possible . If the president , the prime minister , and the deputy prime minister are all temporarily unavailable , the most senior minister of the government , in years of service , becomes the acting president . The parliament can override these rules by means of an emergency constitutional amendment passed by a majority of at least 5 / 6 , and has done so on multiple occasions . Impeachment ( edit ) If the Chancellor of Justice , the Parliamentary Ombudsman or the Council of State deem that the President of the Republic is guilty of treason or high treason , or a crime against humanity , the matter shall be communicated to the parliament . If the parliament , by three - fourths of the votes cast , decides that charges are to be brought , the prosecutor - general prosecutes the president in the High Court of Impeachment and the president abstains from office for the duration of the proceedings . Independence day reception ( edit ) Main article : Independence Day Reception ( in Finland ) The traditional Independence Day Reception ( in Finnish : Linnanjuhlat , `` the Castle Ball '' ) at the presidential palace on 6 December is one of the key annual events in the presidential calendar . It originated as a celebration of Finland 's national independence and pride , and although nowadays it is seen by some as a glorified social party , the reception is broadcast every year on television and draws a large viewing audience . The number of guests invited has varied from about 1,600 to 2,000 . With the exception of ambassadors , only Finns are invited . The history of the Independence Day reception stretches back to 1919 , when the first afternoon reception was held at the presidential palace . In 1922 , President and Mrs Ståhlberg hosted the first evening reception at the presidential palace , with the reception beginning at nine o ' clock . Guests included the government , diplomats , members of parliament , high - ranking officers , senior civil servants , artists and other prominent people . Music and dancing were on the programme and the reception lasted until late night . Similar receptions have been held ever since , though less regularly in the beginning . Since 1946 the Independence Day reception has taken place at the presidential palace every year with five exceptions . In 1952 it was cancelled on account of President Paasikivi 's illness . In 1972 it was held at Finlandia Hall in connection with the Independence Day concert , with the prime minister as host , because the presidential palace was being renovated . In 1974 it was cancelled on account of the death of President Kekkonen 's wife only a few days prior to the reception . In 1981 it was held at Finlandia Hall after the independence day concert , with Deputy Prime Minister Eino Uusitalo as host , because President Kekkonen had resigned in October and Deputy President Mauno Koivisto was campaigning for president . In 2013 , the reception was held at the Tampere Hall in central Tampere , because the presidential palace in Helsinki was undergoing repairs at the time . This was the first time in the history of independent Finland that the reception was held outside Helsinki . The president and president 's spouse greet the guests individually in the State Hall at the beginning of the evening . Later on there is dancing , music provided by the Guards Band , and a traditional buffet . History ( edit ) After Finland 's independence and the Civil War in Finland the matter of whether Finland should be a republic or a constitutional monarchy was much debated ( see Frederick Charles of Hesse ) , and the outcome was a compromise : a rather monarchy - like , strong presidency with great powers over Finland 's foreign affairs , the appointment of the Council of State and the officers of the civil service . The Constitution was changed in 2000 , to redistribute some of this power to the parliament and the council of state . The new constitution specifies how the principles of parliamentarism are to be followed . Most significantly , the president can no longer nominate the prime minister or individual ministers independently . For example , this power was previously used to form governments where the party in plurality was excluded . Regarding the right to dissolve parliament , consultation with the prime minister and heads of parliamentary groups was made mandatory before the parliament could be dissolved and new elections ordered . Furthermore , some appointing powers , such as appointment of provincial governors and department heads at ministries , were transferred to the Cabinet of Finland . Pre-republican heads of state ( edit ) From the date of Finland 's independence on 6 December 1917 until the end of the Finnish Civil War in May 1918 , Pehr Evind Svinhufvud was the head of state of White Finland in his capacity as Chairman of the Senate . Between May 1918 and July 1919 , Finland had two Regents ( Finnish : valtionhoitaja , Swedish : stathållare , lit . Care - taker of State ) and , for a time , an elected King , although the latter renounced the throne : Pehr Evind Svinhufvud , Regent ( 18 May 1918 -- 12 December 1918 ) Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse , elected as King of Finland on 7 October 1918 but never took office and renounced the throne on 4 December after Germany 's defeat in World War I -- he had not time enough to arrive in Finland before the political climate changed following the end of the war . It is said that his regnal name was to be Väinö I of Finland ( ' Väinö ' obviously referring to Väinämöinen , one of the main characters in the Finnish national epic Kalevala ) , but due to there not being contemporary records of this name it is widely considered a popular misbelief , probably created by columnist Väinö Nuorteva .

Casualties 230,000 -- 280,000 dead and more missing The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake occurred at 00 : 58 : 53 UTC on 26 December with the epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra , Indonesia . The shock had a moment magnitude of 9.1 -- 9.3 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX ( Violent ) . The undersea megathrust earthquake was caused when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Burma Plate and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean , killing 230,000 -- 280,000 people in 14 countries , and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 metres ( 100 ft ) high . It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history . Indonesia was the hardest - hit country , followed by Sri Lanka , India , and Thailand . It is the third - largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph and had the longest duration of faulting ever observed , between 8.3 and 10 minutes . It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 centimetre ( 0.4 inches ) and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska . Its epicentre was between Simeulue and mainland Indonesia . The plight of the affected people and countries prompted a worldwide humanitarian response . In all , the worldwide community donated more than US $14 billion ( 2004 ) in humanitarian aid . The event is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra -- Andaman earthquake . The resulting tsunami was given various names , including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami , South Asian tsunami , Indonesian tsunami , the Christmas tsunami , and the Boxing Day tsunami .

Response Humanitarian See also Warning System Library damage 2005 Nias -- Simeulue earthquake The earthquake was initially documented as moment magnitude 8.8 . In February 2005 scientists revised the estimate of the magnitude to 9.0 . Although the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has accepted these new numbers , the United States Geological Survey has so far not changed its estimate of 9.1 . The most recent studies in 2006 have obtained a magnitude of M 9.1 -- 9.3 . Hiroo Kanamori of the California Institute of Technology believes that M 9.2 is a good representative value for the size of this great earthquake . The hypocentre of the main earthquake was approximately 160 km ( 100 mi ) off the western coast of northern Sumatra , in the Indian Ocean just north of Simeulue island at a depth of 30 km ( 19 mi ) below mean sea level ( initially reported as 10 km ( 6.2 mi ) ) . The northern section of the Sunda megathrust ruptured over a length of 1,300 km ( 810 mi ) . The earthquake ( followed by the tsunami ) was felt in Bangladesh , India , Malaysia , Myanmar , Thailand , Singapore , Sri Lanka and the Maldives . Splay faults , or secondary `` pop up faults '' , caused long , narrow parts of the sea floor to pop up in seconds . This quickly elevated the height and increased the speed of waves , completely destroying the nearby Indonesian town of Lhoknga . The epicenter of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and associated aftershocks in French . The epicentre of the earthquake , just north of Simeulue Island . Indonesia lies between the Pacific Ring of Fire along the north - eastern islands adjacent to New Guinea , and the Alpide belt that runs along the south and west from Sumatra , Java , Bali , Flores to Timor . Great earthquakes such as the Sumatra - Andaman event , which are invariably associated with megathrust events in subduction zones , have seismic moments that can account for a significant fraction of the global earthquake moment across century - scale time periods . Of all the seismic moment released by earthquakes in the 100 years from 1906 through 2005 , roughly one - eighth was due to the Sumatra - Andaman event . This quake , together with the Good Friday earthquake ( Alaska , 1964 ) and the Great Chilean earthquake ( 1960 ) , account for almost half of the total moment . Since 1900 the only earthquakes recorded with a greater magnitude were the 1960 Great Chilean earthquake ( magnitude 9.5 ) and the 1964 Good Friday earthquake in Prince William Sound ( 9.2 ) . The only other recorded earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 or greater were off Kamchatka , Russia , on 4 November 1952 ( magnitude 9.0 ) and Tōhoku , Japan ( magnitude 9.1 ) in March 2011 . Each of these megathrust earthquakes also spawned tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean . However , the death toll from these was significantly lower , primarily because of the lower population density along the coasts near affected areas and the much greater distances to more populated coasts and also due to the superior infrastructure and warning systems in MEDCs ( More Economically Developed Countries ) such as Japan . Other very large megathrust earthquakes occurred in 1868 ( Peru , Nazca Plate and South American Plate ) ; 1827 ( Colombia , Nazca Plate and South American Plate ) ; 1812 ( Venezuela , Caribbean Plate and South American Plate ) and 1700 ( western North America , Juan de Fuca Plate and North American Plate ) . All of them are believed to be greater than magnitude 9 , but no accurate measurements were available at the time . Foreshock ( edit ) The 2002 Sumatra earthquake is believed to have been a foreshock , predating the main event by over two years . Tectonic plates ( edit ) Main article : Plate tectonics A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release for the largest earthquakes from 1906 to 2005 compared to all other earthquakes for the same period The megathrust earthquake was unusually large in geographical and geological extent . An estimated 1,600 kilometres ( 1,000 mi ) of fault surface slipped ( or ruptured ) about 15 metres ( 50 ft ) along the subduction zone where the Indian Plate slides ( or subducts ) under the overriding Burma Plate . The slip did not happen instantaneously but took place in two phases over a period of several minutes : Seismographic and acoustic data indicate that the first phase involved a rupture about 400 kilometres ( 250 mi ) long and 100 kilometres ( 60 mi ) wide , located 30 kilometres ( 19 mi ) beneath the sea bed -- the largest rupture ever known to have been caused by an earthquake . The rupture proceeded at a speed of about 2.8 kilometres per second ( 1.7 miles per second ) ( 10,000 km / h or 6,200 mph ) , beginning off the coast of Aceh and proceeding north - westerly over a period of about 100 seconds . A pause of about another 100 seconds took place before the rupture continued northwards towards the Andaman and Nicobar Islands . However , the northern rupture occurred more slowly than in the south , at about 2.1 km / s ( 1.3 mi / s ) ( 7,500 km / h or 4,700 mph ) , continuing north for another five minutes to a plate boundary where the fault type changes from subduction to strike - slip ( the two plates slide past one another in opposite directions ) . The Indian Plate is part of the great Indo - Australian Plate , which underlies the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal , and is drifting north - east at an average of 6 centimetres per year ( 2.4 inches per year ) . The India Plate meets the Burma Plate ( which is considered a portion of the great Eurasian Plate ) at the Sunda Trench . At this point the India Plate subducts beneath the Burma Plate , which carries the Nicobar Islands , the Andaman Islands , and northern Sumatra . The India Plate sinks deeper and deeper beneath the Burma Plate until the increasing temperature and pressure drive volatiles out of the subducting plate . These volatiles rise into the overlying plate causing partial melting and the formation of magma . The rising magma intrudes into the crust above and exits the Earth 's crust through volcanoes in the form of a volcanic arc . The volcanic activity that results as the Indo - Australian Plate subducts the Eurasian Plate has created the Sunda Arc . As well as the sideways movement between the plates , the sea floor is estimated to have risen by several metres , displacing an estimated 30 cubic kilometres ( 7.2 cu mi ) of water and triggering devastating tsunami waves . The waves did not originate from a point source , as was inaccurately depicted in some illustrations of their paths of travel , but rather radiated outwards along the entire 1,600 - kilometre ( 1,000 mi ) length of the rupture ( acting as a line source ) . This greatly increased the geographical area over which the waves were observed , reaching as far as Mexico , Chile , and the Arctic . The raising of the sea floor significantly reduced the capacity of the Indian Ocean , producing a permanent rise in the global sea level by an estimated 0.1 millimetres ( 0.004 in ) . Aftershocks and other earthquakes ( edit ) Locations of initial earthquake and all aftershocks measuring greater than 4.0 from 26 December 2004 to 10 January 2005 . The site of the original quake is marked by the large star in the lower right square of the grid . Numerous aftershocks were reported off the Andaman Islands , the Nicobar Islands and the region of the original epicentre in the hours and days that followed . The magnitude 8.7 2005 Nias -- Simeulue earthquake , which originated off the coast of the Sumatran island of Nias , is not considered an aftershock , despite its proximity to the epicenter , and was most likely triggered by stress changes associated with the 2004 event . The earthquake produced its own aftershocks ( some registering a magnitude of as great as 6.1 ) and presently ranks as the third largest earthquake ever recorded on the moment magnitude or Richter magnitude scale . Other aftershocks of up to magnitude 6.6 continued to shake the region daily for up to three or four months . As well as continuing aftershocks , the energy released by the original earthquake continued to make its presence felt well after the event . A week after the earthquake , its reverberations could still be measured , providing valuable scientific data about the Earth 's interior . The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake came just three days after a magnitude 8.1 earthquake in an uninhabited region west of New Zealand 's subantarctic Auckland Islands , and north of Australia 's Macquarie Island . This is unusual , since earthquakes of magnitude 8 or more occur only about once per year on average . However , the U.S. Geological Survey sees no evidence of a causal relationship between these events . The December earthquake is thought to have triggered activity in both Leuser Mountain and Mount Talang , volcanoes in Aceh province along the same range of peaks , while the 2005 Nias -- Simeulue earthquake had sparked activity in Lake Toba , an ancient crater in Sumatra . Energy released ( edit ) The tsunami strikes Ao Nang , Thailand . The energy released on the Earth 's surface only ( M , which is the seismic potential for damage ) by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami was estimated at 1.1 × 10 joules , or 26 megatons of TNT . This energy is equivalent to over 1,500 times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb , but less than that of Tsar Bomba , the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated ; however , the total work done M ( and thus energy ) by the quake was 4.0 × 10 joules ( 4.0 × 10 ergs ) , the vast majority underground , which is over 360,000 times more than its M , equivalent to 9,600 gigatons of TNT equivalent ( 550 million times that of Hiroshima ) or about 370 years of energy use in the United States at 2005 levels of 1.08 × 10 J . The only recorded earthquakes with a larger M were the 1960 Chilean and 1964 Alaskan quakes , with 2.5 × 10 joules ( 250 ZJ ) and 7.5 × 10 joules ( 75 ZJ ) respectively . The earthquake generated a seismic oscillation of the Earth 's surface of up to 20 -- 30 cm ( 8 -- 12 in ) , equivalent to the effect of the tidal forces caused by the Sun and Moon . The seismic waves of the earthquake were felt across the planet ; as far away as the U.S. state of Oklahoma , where vertical movements of 3 mm ( 0.12 in ) were recorded . By February 2005 , the earthquake 's effects were still detectable as a 20 μm ( 0.02 mm ; 0.0008 in ) complex harmonic oscillation of the Earth 's surface , which gradually diminished and merged with the incessant free oscillation of the Earth more than 4 months after the earthquake . Because of its enormous energy release and shallow rupture depth , the earthquake generated remarkable seismic ground motions around the globe , particularly due to huge Rayleigh ( surface ) elastic waves that exceeded 1 cm ( 0.4 in ) in vertical amplitude everywhere on Earth . The record section plot displays vertical displacements of the Earth 's surface recorded by seismometers from the IRIS / USGS Global Seismographic Network plotted with respect to time ( since the earthquake initiation ) on the horizontal axis , and vertical displacements of the Earth on the vertical axis ( note the 1 cm scale bar at the bottom for scale ) . The seismograms are arranged vertically by distance from the epicenter in degrees . The earliest , lower amplitude , signal is that of the compressional ( P ) wave , which takes about 22 minutes to reach the other side of the planet ( the antipode ; in this case near Ecuador ) . The largest amplitude signals are seismic surface waves that reach the antipode after about 100 minutes . The surface waves can be clearly seen to reinforce near the antipode ( with the closest seismic stations in Ecuador ) , and to subsequently encircle the planet to return to the epicentral region after about 200 minutes . A major aftershock ( magnitude 7.1 ) can be seen at the closest stations starting just after the 200 minute mark . The aftershock would be considered a major earthquake under ordinary circumstances , but is dwarfed by the mainshock . Vertical - component ground motions recorded by the IRIS / USGS Global Seismographic Network . The shift of mass and the massive release of energy very slightly altered the Earth 's rotation . The exact amount is not yet known , but theoretical models suggest the earthquake shortened the length of a day by 2.68 microseconds , due to a decrease in the oblateness of the Earth . It also caused the Earth to minutely `` wobble '' on its axis by up to 2.5 cm ( 1 in ) in the direction of 145 ° east longitude , or perhaps by up to 5 or 6 cm ( 2.0 or 2.4 in ) . However , because of tidal effects of the Moon , the length of a day increases at an average of 15 μs per year , so any rotational change due to the earthquake will be lost quickly . Similarly , the natural Chandler wobble of the Earth , which in some cases can be up to 15 m ( 50 ft ) , will eventually offset the minor wobble produced by the earthquake . There was 10 m ( 33 ft ) movement laterally and 4 -- 5 m ( 13 -- 16 ft ) vertically along the fault line . Early speculation was that some of the smaller islands south - west of Sumatra , which is on the Burma Plate ( the southern regions are on the Sunda Plate ) , might have moved south - west by up to 36 m ( 120 ft ) , but more accurate data released more than a month after the earthquake found the movement to be about 20 cm ( 8 in ) . Since movement was vertical as well as lateral , some coastal areas may have been moved to below sea level . The Andaman and Nicobar Islands appear to have shifted south - west by around 1.25 m ( 4 ft 1 in ) and to have sunk by 1 m ( 3 ft 3 in ) . In February 2005 , the Royal Navy vessel HMS Scott surveyed the seabed around the earthquake zone , which varies in depth between 1,000 and 5,000 m ( 550 and 2,730 fathoms ; 3,300 and 16,400 ft ) . The survey , conducted using a high - resolution , multi-beam sonar system , revealed that the earthquake had made a huge impact on the topography of the seabed . 1,500 - metre - high ( 5,000 ft ) thrust ridges created by previous geologic activity along the fault had collapsed , generating landslides several kilometres wide . One such landslide consisted of a single block of rock some 100 m high and 2 km long ( 300 ft by 1.25 mi ) . The momentum of the water displaced by tectonic uplift had also dragged massive slabs of rock , each weighing millions of tons , as far as 10 km ( 6 mi ) across the seabed . An oceanic trench several kilometres wide was exposed in the earthquake zone . The TOPEX / Poseidon and Jason - 1 satellites happened to pass over the tsunami as it was crossing the ocean . These satellites carry radars that measure precisely the height of the water surface ; anomalies of the order of 50 cm ( 20 in ) were measured . Measurements from these satellites may prove invaluable for the understanding of the earthquake and tsunami . Unlike data from tide gauges installed on shores , measurements obtained in the middle of the ocean can be used for computing the parameters of the source earthquake without having to compensate for the complex ways in which close proximity to the coast changes the size and shape of a wave . Tsunami ( edit ) NOAA 's tsunami travel time ( TTT ) map for the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami . The TTT map calculates the first - arrival travel times of the tsunami , following their generation at the earthquake epicenter . Note that the maps do not provide the height or the strength of the wave , only the arrival times . The number tags represent hours after the initial event . Map contours represent 1 - hour intervals . Red indicates 1 - to 4 - hour arrival times , Yellow indicates 5 - to 6 - hour arrival times , Green indicates 7 - to 14 - hour arrival times , and Blue indicates 15 - to 21 - hour arrival times . Maps were generated from earthquake epicenters in the NGDC Global Historical Tsunami Database using NGDC 2 - Minute Gridded Global Relief Data bathymetry . The map was created through models based on quality - controlled source data , and an integration of many data sets together . Scale showing the size of the tsunami waves that hit Indonesia The sudden vertical rise of the seabed by several metres during the earthquake displaced massive volumes of water , resulting in a tsunami that struck the coasts of the Indian Ocean . A tsunami that causes damage far away from its source is sometimes called a teletsunami and is much more likely to be produced by vertical motion of the seabed than by horizontal motion . The tsunami , like all others , behaved very differently in deep water than in shallow water . In deep ocean water , tsunami waves form only a low , very broad hump , barely noticeable and harmless , which generally travels at a very high speed of 500 to 1,000 km / h ( 310 to 620 mph ) ; in shallow water near coastlines , a tsunami slows down to only tens of kilometres per hour but , in doing so , forms large destructive waves . Scientists investigating the damage in Aceh found evidence that the wave reached a height of 24 metres ( 80 ft ) when coming ashore along large stretches of the coastline , rising to 30 metres ( 100 ft ) in some areas when traveling inland . Radar satellites recorded the heights of tsunami waves in deep water : at two hours after the earthquake , the maximum height was 60 centimetres ( 2 ft ) . These are the first such observations ever made . These observations could not be used to provide a warning , since the satellites were not built for that purpose and the data took hours to analyze . According to Tad Murty , vice-president of the Tsunami Society , the total energy of the tsunami waves was equivalent to about five megatons of TNT ( 20 petajoules ) , which is more than twice the total explosive energy used during all of World War II ( including the two atomic bombs ) but still a couple of orders of magnitude less than the energy released in the earthquake itself . In many places the waves reached as far as 2 km ( 1.2 mi ) inland . Play media Tsunami wave field in the Bay of Bengal one hour after the M = 9.2 earthquake . View to the northwest . Because the 1,600 km ( 1,000 mi ) fault affected by the earthquake was in a nearly north - south orientation , the greatest strength of the tsunami waves was in an east - west direction . Bangladesh , which lies at the northern end of the Bay of Bengal , had very few casualties despite being a low - lying country relatively near the epicenter . It also benefited from the fact that the earthquake proceeded more slowly in the northern rupture zone , greatly reducing the energy of the water displacements in that region . Coasts that have a landmass between them and the tsunami 's location of origin are usually safe ; however , tsunami waves can sometimes diffract around such landmasses . Thus , the state of Kerala was hit by the tsunami despite being on the western coast of India , and the western coast of Sri Lanka suffered substantial impacts . Distance alone was no guarantee of safety , as Somalia was hit harder than Bangladesh despite being much farther away . Because of the distances involved , the tsunami took anywhere from fifteen minutes to seven hours to reach the coastlines . The northern regions of the Indonesian island of Sumatra were hit very quickly , while Sri Lanka and the east coast of India were hit roughly 90 minutes to two hours later . Thailand was struck about two hours later despite being closer to the epicentre , because the tsunami traveled more slowly in the shallow Andaman Sea off its western coast . The tsunami was noticed as far as Struisbaai in South Africa , some 8,500 km ( 5,300 mi ) away , where a 1.5 m ( 5 ft ) high tide surged on shore about 16 hours after the earthquake . It took a relatively long time to reach Struisbaai at the southernmost point of Africa , probably because of the broad continental shelf off South Africa and because the tsunami would have followed the South African coast from east to west . The tsunami also reached Antarctica , where tidal gauges at Japan 's Showa Base recorded oscillations of up to a metre ( 3 ft 3 in ) , with disturbances lasting a couple of days . Some of the tsunami 's energy escaped into the Pacific Ocean , where it produced small but measurable tsunamis along the western coasts of North and South America , typically around 20 to 40 cm ( 7.9 to 15.7 in ) . At Manzanillo , Mexico , a 2.6 m ( 8 ft 6 in ) crest - to - trough tsunami was measured . As well , the tsunami was large enough to be detected in Vancouver , British Columbia , Canada , which puzzled many scientists , as the tsunamis measured in some parts of South America were larger than those measured in some parts of the Indian Ocean . It has been theorized that the tsunamis were focused and directed at long ranges by the mid-ocean ridges which run along the margins of the continental plates . Signs and warnings ( edit ) Maximum recession of tsunami waters at Kata Noi Beach , Thailand , prior the third -- and strongest -- tsunami wave ( sea visible in the right corner , the beach is at the extreme left ) , 10 : 25 am local time . Despite a lag of up to several hours between the earthquake and the impact of the tsunami , nearly all of the victims were taken completely by surprise . There were no tsunami warning systems in the Indian Ocean to detect tsunamis or to warn the general population living around the ocean . Tsunami detection is not easy because while a tsunami is in deep water it has little height and a network of sensors is needed to detect it . Setting up the communications infrastructure to issue timely warnings is an even bigger problem , particularly in a relatively poor part of the world . Tsunamis are much more frequent in the Pacific Ocean because of earthquakes in the `` Ring of Fire '' , and an effective tsunami warning system has long been in place there . Although the extreme western edge of the Ring of Fire extends into the Indian Ocean ( the point where the earthquake struck ) , no warning system exists in that ocean . Tsunamis there are relatively rare despite earthquakes being relatively frequent in Indonesia . The last major tsunami was caused by the Krakatoa eruption of 1883 . It should be noted that not every earthquake produces large tsunamis ; on 28 March 2005 , a magnitude 8.7 earthquake hit roughly the same area of the Indian Ocean but did not result in a major tsunami . The first warning sign of a possible tsunami is the earthquake itself . However , tsunamis can strike thousands of kilometres away where the earthquake is only felt weakly or not at all . Also , in the minutes preceding a tsunami strike , the sea often recedes temporarily from the coast , which was observed on the eastern side of the rupture zone of the earthquake such as around the coastlines of Aceh province , Phuket island and Khao Lak area in Thailand , Penang island of Malaysia and the Andaman and Nicobar islands . Around the Indian Ocean , this rare sight reportedly induced people , especially children , to visit the coast to investigate and collect stranded fish on as much as 2.5 km ( 1.6 mi ) of exposed beach , with fatal results . However , not all tsunamis cause this `` disappearing sea '' effect . In some cases , there are no warning signs at all : the sea will suddenly swell without retreating , surprising many people and giving them little time to flee . Reportedly , scuba divers near the abundant coral reefs in Thailand and the Maldives were caught off guard by violent , swirling underwater currents . The divers described the experience like being in a ' washing machine ' . Coral reef animals such as fish were also absent as the tsunami passed by . One of the few coastal areas to evacuate ahead of the tsunami was on the Indonesian island of Simeulue , very close to the epicentre . Island folklore recounted an earthquake and tsunami in 1907 , and the islanders fled to inland hills after the initial shaking and before the tsunami struck . These tales and oral folklore from previous generations may have helped the survival of the inhabitants . On Maikhao beach in northern Phuket , Thailand , a 10 - year - old British tourist named Tilly Smith had studied tsunami in geography at school and recognised the warning signs of the receding ocean and frothing bubbles . She and her parents warned others on the beach , which was evacuated safely . John Chroston , a biology teacher from Scotland , also recognised the signs at Kamala Bay north of Phuket , taking a busload of vacationers and locals to safety on higher ground . Anthropologists had initially expected the aboriginal population of the Andaman Islands to be badly affected by the tsunami and even feared the already depopulated Onge tribe could have been wiped out . Many of the aboriginal tribes evacuated and suffered fewer casualties . Oral traditions developed from previous earthquakes helped the aboriginal tribes escape the tsunami . For example , the folklore of the Onges talks of `` huge shaking of ground followed by high wall of water '' . Almost all of the Onge people seemed to have survived the tsunami . Aceh province , Sumatra , Indonesia ( edit ) A two - story house damaged by the tsunami showing the tsunami inundation height in downtown Banda Aceh . The tsunami first struck the west and north coasts of northern Sumatra , Indonesia particularly in Aceh province in the fresh morning . At Ulee Lheue in Banda Aceh , a survivor described three waves , with the first wave rising only to the foundation of the buildings . This was followed by a large withdrawal of the sea before the second and third waves hit . The tsunami reached shore 15 -- 20 minutes after the earthquake , and the second was bigger than the first . This is the same as that in Khao Lak and Phuket Island in southern Thailand . A local resident living at Banda Aceh states that the giant wave was ' higher than my house ' . Another resident living 2 km ( 1.2 mi ) near the coast on the outskirt of the city informed that the tsunami was ' like a wall , very black ' in colour and had a ' distinct sound ' getting louder as it nears the coast . The maximum runup height of the tsunami was measured at a hill between Lhoknga and Leupung , located on the west coast of the northern tip of Sumatra , near Banda Aceh , and reached more than 30 m ( 100 ft ) . The tsunami heights in Sumatra : 15 -- 30 m ( 49 ft - 98 ft ) on the west coast of Aceh . 6 -- 12 m ( 19.7 ft - 39.4 ft ) on the Banda Aceh coast . 6 m ( 19.7 ft ) on the Krueng Raya coast ( 3 oil tanks floated out ) 5 m ( 16.4 ft ) on the Sigli coast . 3 -- 6 m ( 9.8 ft - 19.7 ft ) on the north coast of Weh Island directly facing the tsunami source . 3 m ( 9.8 ft ) on the opposite side of the coast of Weh Island facing the tsunami . The tsunami height on the Banda Aceh coast is lower than half of that on the west coast . Even within the Banda Aceh coast , the tsunami height was reduced by half from 12 m ( 39.4 ft ) at Ulee Lheue to 6 m ( 19.7 ft ) a further 8 km ( 4.97 miles ) to the northeast . The inundation was observed to lie 3 -- 4 km ( 1.86 -- 2.49 miles ) inland throughout the city . Flow depths over the ground were observed to be over 9 m ( 29.5 ft ) in the seaside section of Ulee Lheue and tapered landward . The level of destruction was more extreme on the northwestern flank of the city in the areas immediately inland of the aquaculture ponds . The area toward the sea was wiped clean of nearly every structure , while closer to the river -- dense construction in a commercial district showed the effects of severe flooding . The flow depth was just at the level of the second floor , and there were large amounts of debris piled along the streets and in the ground - floor storefronts . One of the reasons seems to be that there is an archipelago between Lhoknga and Banda Aceh. Within 2 -- 3 km ( 1.24 -- 1.86 miles ) from the shoreline , houses , except for strongly - built reinforced concrete ones with brick walls , which seemed to have been partially damaged by the earthquake before the tsunami attack , were completely swept away or destroyed by the tsunami . Three small islands : Weh , Breuh , and Deudap , lie just north of the capital city . The tsunami effects on two of the islands Breuh and Deudap were extreme , with a runup of 10 -- 20 m ( 33 -- 66 ft ) on the west - facing shores . Coastal villages were completely destroyed by the tsunami waves . On Pulau Weh , however , the island experienced strong surges in the port of Sabang , yet there was little damage with a reported runup values of 3 -- 5 m ( 9.8 -- 16.4 ft ) , which was most likely shadowed from the direct tsunami attack by the islands to the southwest . In Lhoknga , a town in Aceh Besar Regency , Aceh Special Region , Indonesia , located on the western side of the island of Sumatra , 13 km ( 8.08 miles ) southwest of Banda Aceh was completely flattened and destroyed by the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami , where its population dwindled from 7,500 to 400 . The tsunami waves were almost 30 m ( 98.4 ft ) high . Eyewitnesses reported 10 to 12 waves , the second and third ones being the highest . The sea receded ( drawback ) 10 minutes after the earthquake and the first wave came rapidly landward as a turbulent flow ( flood ) with depths ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 m ( 1.64 ft - 8.20 ft ) high . The second and third waves was 15 -- 30 m ( 49.2 ft - 98.4 ft ) high at the coast , described having an appearance to a surf wave ( cobra - shaped ) but ' taller than the coconut trees ' and was ' like a mountain ' . Consequently , the tsunami also stranded cargo ships and barges and destroyed a cement factory near the Lampuuk coast . Moreover , surveyed areas by scientists show runup heights over 20 m ( 65.6 ft ) on the northwest coast of Sumatra in the Aceh province with a maximum runup of 51 m ( 167.3 ft ) . In Meulaboh based on survivor testimonies , tsunami arrived after the sea receded about 500 m ( 0.31 miles ) , followed by an advancing small tsunami . The second and third destructive waves arrived later , which exceeded the height of the coconut trees . The inundation distance is about 5 km ( 3.1 miles ) . Such high and fast waves arising from the epicentre by a megathrust earthquake were later found to be due to splay faults , secondary faults arising due to cracking of the sea floor to jut upwards in seconds , causing waves ' speed and height to increase . A large slip of 30 m ( 98.4 ft ) was estimated on the subfault located off the west coast of Aceh province . Another factor is subsidence at Banda Aceh ( 20 -- 60 cm ) , Peukan Bada ( > 20 cm ) , Lhok Nga and Leupung ( > 1.5 m ) . An overturned cement carrier , the Sinar Andalas caused by the tsunami in Lhoknga . Other towns on Aceh 's west coast hit by the disaster included Leupung , Lhokruet , Lamno , Patek , Calang , Teunom , and the island of Simeulue . Affected or destroyed towns on the region 's north and east coast were Pidie Regency , Samalanga , Panteraja and Lhokseumawe . The very high fatality in the area is mainly due to the unpreparedness of the population from such an event . Helicopter survey showed entire settlements virtually destroyed with destruction miles inland with only some mosques left standing , which provided refuge for the people from the tsunami . Andaman and Nicobar Islands , India ( edit ) The major islands affected by the tsunami were in the South , Middle , and North Andaman Islands . The tsunami arrived in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands minutes after the earthquake , and it caused extensive devastation to the islands ' environment . Specifically , the Andaman Islands were moderately affected while the island of Little Andaman and the Nicobar Islands were severely affected by the tsunami . Waves nearly 3 - storeys high , devastated the Indian Air Force base near Malacca . The worst affected island in the Andaman & Nicobar chain is Katchall Island with 303 people confirmed dead and 4,354 missing out of a total population of 5,312 . Eyewitnesses at Port Blair recall that the water receded before the first wave , and the third wave was the tallest and caused the most damage . However , at Hut Bay , Malacca and Campbell Bay -- locations far south of Port Blair -- it was reported that the water level rose by about 1 -- 2 m ( 3.3 ft - 6.6 ft ) from the normal sea level and remained there before the first wave crashed ashore . Reports of tsunami wave height : 1.5 m ( 4.9 ft ) at Diglipur and Rangat at North Andaman Island . 8 m ( 26.2 ft ) high at Campbell Bay ( in Great Nicobar Island ) , 10 -- 12 m ( 32.8 ft - 39.4 ft ) high at Malacca ( in Car Nicobar Island ) and at Hut Bay ( in Little Andaman Island ) . 3 m ( 9.8 ft ) high at Port Blair ( in South Andaman Island ) . The significant shielding of Port Blair and Campbell Bay by steep mountainous outcrops may have contributed to the relatively low wave heights at these locations , whereas the open terrain along the eastern coast at Malacca and Hut Bay likely contributed to the great height of the tsunami waves Indeed , many infrastructures near the coasts and buildings were harshly damaged by the waves . Sri Lanka ( edit ) The tsunami first arrived on the eastern coast and subsequently refracted around the southern point of Sri Lanka ( Dondra Head ) . The refracted tsunami waves inundated the southwestern part of Sri Lanka after some of its energy had been reflected from impact with the Maldives . Sri Lanka is located 1,700 km ( 1056.33 miles ) far from the epicenter and the tsunami source , so no one felt the ground shake and the tsunami hit the entire coastline of Sri Lanka around 2 hours after the earthquake . It seems that the tsunami flooding consisted of three main waves , with the second being the largest and most destructive . The first tsunami waves had initially caused a small flood ( positive wave ) as it struck the Sri Lankan coastline . Moments later , the ocean floor was exposed to as much as 1 km ( 0.62 miles ) in places due to drawback ( negative wave ) , which was followed by a massive second tsunami wave , which is in the form of a flood . Certain locations managed to reduce the power of the waves through construction of seawalls and breakwaters . The largest run - up measured was at 12.5 m ( 41 ft ) with inundation distance of 390 m to 1.5 km ( 0.242 miles - 0.932 miles ) in Yala . In Hambantota , tsunami run - ups are measured at 11 m ( 36.1 ft ) with the greatest inundation distance of 2 km ( 1.24 miles ) , and tsunami run - up measurements along the Sri Lankan coasts are at 2.4 -- 11 m ( 7.87 ft - 36.1 ft ) . Tsunami waves measured on the east coast ranged from 4.5 m - 9 m ( 14.8 ft - 29.5 ft ) at Pottuvill to around Batticaloa , 2.6 m - 5 m ( 8.53 ft - 16.4 ft ) in the northeast around Trincomalee and 4 m - 5 m ( 13.1 ft - 16.4 ft ) in the west coast from Moratuwa to Ambalangoda . Fishermen 's boat stranded in Kallady , Batticaloa , Sri Lanka . Sri Lanka tsunami height survey : 9 m ( 29.5 Ft ) at Koggala . 6 m ( 19.7 ft ) at Galle port . 4.8 m ( 15.7 ft ) around the Galle coast . 8.71 m ( 28.6 ft ) at Nonagama . 4.9 m ( 16.1 ft ) at Weligama . 4 m ( 13.1 ft ) at Dodundawa . 4.7 m ( 15.4 ft ) at Ambalangoda . 4.7 m ( 15.4 ft ) at Hikkaduwa Fishery Harbour . 10 m ( 33 ft ) at Kahawa . 4.8 m ( 15.7 ft ) at North Beach of Beruwala . 6 m ( 19.7 ft ) at Paiyagala . The Sumudra Devi , a passenger train out of Colombo , was derailed and overturned by the tsunami . The tsunami caused the 2004 Sri Lanka tsunami - rail disaster which took at least 1,700 lives , making it the largest single rail disaster in world history by death toll . Estimates based on the state of the shoreline and a high - water mark on a nearby building place the tsunami 7.5 -- 9 m ( 24.6 ft to 29.5 ft ) above sea level and 2 -- 3 m ( 6.6 ft to 9.8 ft ) higher than the top of the train . In Sri Lanka , the civilian casualties were second only to those in Indonesia . Reports vary on the number of deaths since many people are still missing and the country lacks adequate communications . The eastern shores of Sri Lanka faced the hardest impact since they were facing the epicenter of the earthquake . The southwestern shores were hit later , but the death toll was just as severe . The southwestern shores are a hotspot for tourists as well as the fishing economy . Tourism and fishing industries created high population densities along the coast . The coastal lifestyle of people and degradation of the natural environment in Sri Lanka contributed to the high death tolls . In addition to the high number of fatalities , approximately 90,000 buildings were destroyed . Houses were easily destroyed since they were built mostly from wood . Thailand ( edit ) The tsunami hit the southwest coast of southern Thailand , which was about 500 km ( 310.69 miles ) from the epicenter . The region is prominent with tourists internationally . Since the tsunami hit during high tide , its damage was severe . Approximately 5,400 people were killed and 3,100 people were reported missing in Thailand . The places where the tsunami struck were Khao Lak , Phuket Island , the Phi Phi Islands , Koh Racha Yai , Koh Lanta Yai and Ao Nang of Krabi province , offshore archipelagos like the Surin Islands , the Similan Islands , and coastal areas of Satun , Ranong , Phang Nga , Trang and Krabi provinces . The country experienced the largest tsunami runup height of any location outside of Sumatra , which occurred at Khao Lak and the areas of Takua Pa district that are facing the Andaman Sea. The tsunami heights recorded : 6 -- 10 m ( 19.7 ft - 32.8 ft ) in Khao Lak . 3 -- 6 m ( 9.84 ft - 19.7 ft ) along the west coast of Phuket island . 3 m ( 9.84 ft ) along the south coast of Phuket island . 2 m ( 6.56 ft ) along the east coast of Phuket island . 4 -- 6 m ( 13.12 ft - 19.7 ft ) on the Phi Phi Islands . 19.6 m ( 64.3 ft ) at Ban Thung Dap . 5 m ( 16.4 ft ) at Ramson . 6.8 m ( 22.3 ft ) at Ban Thale Nok . 5 m ( 16.4 ft ) at Hat Praphat ( Ranong Coastal Resources Research Station ) . 6.3 m ( 20.7 ft ) at Thai Muang district . 6.8 m ( 22.3 ft ) at Rai Dan . The province of Phang - Nga was the most heavily affected area in Thailand by the gigantic tsunami . The northern part of Phang - Nga Province is a rural area with fishery and agricultural villages while the central part has several resort hotels . Khao Lak is located in the south of Phang - Nga Province with many luxurious hotels , popular to foreign tourists , especially from Europe . Khao Lak was hit by the gigantic tsunami after 10 : 00 a.m. and the death toll in the area was the largest in Thailand . Many local villagers and tourists lost their lives during the event . A maximum inundation of approximately 2 km ( 1.2 miles ) and the inundated depths were 4 -- 7 m ( 13.12 ft - 23 ft ) in Khao Lak . Surveys conducted show that the tsunami inundated the third floor of a resort hotel . The tsunami heights in Khao Lak were much higher than Phuket Island . The reason for the difference seems to have been caused by the local bathymetry off Khao Lak . According to some interviews with local residents and affected tourists , the leading wave produced an initial depression , called a tsunami drawback or ' disappearing sea ' effect and the second wave was largest . The highest recorded tsunami runup measured was at 19.6 m ( 64.3 ft ) at Ban Thung Dap , located on the southwest tip of Ko Phra Thong Island and the second highest at 15.8 m ( 51.8 ft ) at Ban Nam Kim . Thai navy boat 813 ( police boat ) stranded almost 2 km inland by the Khao Lak tsunami . At Phuket island , many of its west coast beaches were affected . At Patong Beach -- a tourist mecca -- the tsunami heights were 5 -- 6 m ( 16.4 ft - 19.7 ft ) and the inundated depth was about 2 m ( 6.6 ft ) . The tsunami heights became lower from the west coast , the south coast to the east coast of the island . On Karon beach on the west coast , the coastal road was built higher than the shore and it acted as a seawall , protecting a hotel which was behind it . On the east coast of Phuket Island , which was not facing the tsunami source , the tsunami height was about 2 m ( 6.6 ft ) . In one river mouth , many boats were damaged . The tsunami propagated anticlockwise around Phuket Island , as was the case at Okushiri Island in the 1993 Hokkaido earthquake . According to some interviews with the people , the leading wave produced an initial depression and the second wave was the largest . Tsunami wave striking Phuket coast . The Phi Phi Islands are a group of small islands that were affected by the tsunami . The north bay of Phi Phi Don Island opens to the northwest , thus it faced in the direction that the tsunami came from . The measured tsunami height on this beach was 5.8 m ( 19.02 ft ) . According to some eyewitnesses accounts , the tsunami came from the north and south , and totally washed the central area away . The ground level here was about 2 m ( 6.6 ft ) above sea level , but there were many cottages and hotels . Therefore , the tsunami waves from the north and south destroyed the area , the south bay opens to the southeast . It faces in the opposite direction to which the tsunami was propagated . Further , Phi Phi Le Island shields the port of Phi Phi Don Island . The measured tsunami height , however , was 4.6 m ( 15.1 ft ) in the port . It indicated that the tsunami propagated around the islands . Many amateur videos recorded by tourists and locals of the tsunami at Thailand were televised popularly in the media . Mainland India ( edit ) The tsunami arrived in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu along the southeast coast of the Indian mainland shortly after 9 : 00 a.m. At least two hours later , it arrived in the state of Kerala along the southwest coast . Tamil Nadu , the union territory of Pondicherry and Kerala were extensively damaged , while Andhra Pradesh sustained moderate damage . There were two to five waves of varying height that coincided with the local high tide in some areas . Tsunami destruction in Chennai , Tamil Nadu , India . The tsunami run - up was only 1.6 m ( 5.2 ft ) in areas in the state of Tamil Nadu that were shielded by the island of Sri Lanka , but was 4 -- 5 m ( 13.1 ft - 16.4 ft ) in coastal districts such as Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu that were directly across from Sumatra , which happen to be the highest on the Indian mainland . On the western coast , the runup elevations were 4.5 m ( 14.8 ft ) at Kanyakumari District in Tamil Nadu , and 3.4 m ( 11.2 ft ) each at Kollam and Ernakulam Districts in Kerala . The duration between the waves also varied from about 15 minutes to about 90 minutes . Additionally , the tsunami varies in height when it struck the Indian coast , ranging from 2 -- 10 m ( 6.6 ft - 33 ft ) on average based on survivor 's accounts . The tsunami runup height measured in mainland India by Ministry of Home Affairs : 3.4 m ( 11.2 ft ) at Kerala , inundation distance of 0.5 -- 1.5 km ( 0.31 -- 0.62 miles ) with 250 km ( 155.3 miles ) of coastline affected . 4.5 m ( 14.8 ft ) at southern coastline of Tamil Nadu , inundation distance of 0.2 -- 2.0 km ( 0.12 -- 1.24 miles ) with 100 km ( 62.1 miles ) of coast affected . 5 m ( 16.4 ft ) at eastern coastline of Tamil Nadu facing tsunami source , inundation distance of 0.4 -- 1.5 km ( 0.25 -- 0.93 miles ) with 800 km ( 497 miles ) of coastline affected . 4 m ( 13.1 ft ) at Pondicherry , inundation distance of 0.2 -- 2.0 km ( 0.12 -- 1.24 miles ) with 25 km ( 15.5 miles ) of coast affected . 2.2 m ( 7.22 ft ) at Andhra Pradesh , inundation distance of 0.2 -- 1.0 km ( 0.12 -- 0.62 miles ) with 985 km ( 612 miles ) of coast . The tsunami traveled 2.5 km ( 1.55 miles ) at its maximum inland at Karaikal city . The inundation distance varied between 100 -- 500 m ( 0.062 miles - 0.311 miles ) in most areas , except at river mouths , where it was more than 1 km ( 0.62 miles ) . The inundation distance varied with topology and vegetation . Areas with dense coconut groves or mangroves had much smaller inundation distances , and those with river mouths or backwaters saw much larger inundation distances . Presence of seawalls at the Kerala coast and some of Tamil Nadu coast helped to reduce the impact of the waves . However , when the seawalls were made of loose stones , the stones were displaced and carried a few metres inland . The state of Kerala experienced tsunami - related damage in three southern districts , Ernakulam , Alappuzha , and Kollam , which are densely populated with villagers , due to diffraction of the waves around Sri Lanka . The southernmost district of Thiruvananthpuram , however , escaped damage , possibly due to the wide turn of the diffracted waves at the peninsular tip . Major damage occurred in two narrow strips of land bound on the west by the Arabian Sea and on the east by a network of backwaters -- Kerala backwaters . The waves receded before the first tsunami with the highest fatality reported from the densely populated Alappad panchayat ( including the villages of Cheriya Azhikkal and Azhikkal ) at Kollam district , caused by a 4 m ( 13.1 ft ) tsunami . The worst affected area in Tamil Nadu was Nagapattinam district , with a reported 6,051 fatalities caused by a 5 m ( 16.4 ft ) tsunami , followed by Cuddalore district , with many villages destroyed . The 13 km ( 8.1 miles ) Marina Beach in Chennai was battered by the tsunami which swept across the beach taking morning walkers unaware . Besides that , a 10 m ( 33 ft ) black muddy tsunami reportedly ravaged the city of Karaikal , where 492 lives were lost . The city of Pondicherry , protected by seawalls relatively escaped unscathed in comparison to other areas in the state . At the same time , many villages from many districts at the state of Andhra Pradesh were destroyed . In the Krishna district , the tsunami created havoc in Manginapudi and on Machalipattanam Beach , which came like a running wall at the latter . The most affected was Prakasham District , recording 35 deaths , with maximum damage at Singraikonda , a beautiful beach hamlet . Given the enormous power of the tsunami , the fishing industry suffered the greatest . Moreover , the cost of damage in the transport sector was reported in the tens of thousands . Many buildings and infrastructures near the coast were obliterated . Conclusively , the tsunami effects varied greatly across different parts of the coast according to the number of waves experienced , the inundation distance and height of waves , and the population density of the area , as well as topological and geographical features that made some areas more vulnerable than others . Besides these factors , the number of lives lost was influenced by exposure to previous disasters and the local disaster management capability . Most of the people killed were members of the fishing community and , in some cases such as Marina Beach at Chennai and Velankanni in Nagapattinam , they were visitors on the beach . Maldives ( edit ) The tsunami of 26 December 2004 severely affected the Maldives at a distance of 2,500 km ( 1553.4 miles ) from the epicenter of the magnitude 9.0 earthquake . Identically to Sri Lanka , survivors reported three waves with the second wave being the most powerful . Being rich in coral reefs , the Maldives provides an opportunity for scientists to assess the impact of a tsunami on coral atolls . The significantly lower tsunami impact on the Maldives compared to Sri Lanka is largely due to the topography and bathymetry of the atoll chain with offshore coral reefs , deep channels separating individual atolls and its arrival within low tide which decreased the power of the tsunami . After the tsunami , there were some concern that the country might be totally submerged and become uninhabitable . However , this was proven untrue . The largest tsunami wave measured was 4 m ( 13.1 ft ) at Vilufushi Island ( Thaa Atoll ) . The tsunami arrived approximately 2 hours after the earthquake. The greatest tsunami inundation occurred at North Male Atoll , Male island at 250 m ( 0.155 miles ) along the streets . The Maldives tsunami wave analysis : 1.3 m - 2.4 m ( 4.27 ft - 7.87 ft ) at North Male Atoll , Male Island . 2 m ( 6.56 ft ) at North Male Atoll , Huhule Island . 1.7 m - 2.8 m ( 5.58 ft - 9.2 ft ) at South Male Atoll , Embudhu Finothu . 2.5 m - 3.3 m ( 8.2 ft - 10.8 ft ) at Laamu Atoll , Fonadhoo Island . 2.2 m - 2.9 m ( 7.2 ft - 9.51 ft ) at Laamu Atoll , Gan Island . 2.3 m - 3 m ( 7.5 ft - 9.8 ft ) at North Male Atoll , Dhiffushi Island . 2.2 m - 2.4 m ( 7.2 ft - 7.87 ft ) at North Male Atoll , Huraa Island . more than 1.5 m ( 4.92 ft ) at North Male Atoll , Kuda Huraa Island . Myanmar ( edit ) In Myanmar , the tsunami caused only moderate damage , which arrived between 2 and 5.5 hours after the earthquake . Although the country 's western Andaman Sea coastline lies at the proximity of the rupture zone , there were smaller tsunamis than the neighboring Thai coast , probably because the main tsunami source did not extend to the Andaman Islands . Another factor is that some coasts of Taninthayi Division was protected by offshore islands of the Myeik Archipelago . Based on scientific surveys from Ayeyarwaddy Delta through Taninthayi Division , it is revealed that tsunami heights along the Myanmar coast were between 0.4 -- 2.9 m ( 1.3 -- 9.5 ft ) . Eyewitnesses often compared the December tsunami heights with the `` rainy season high tide '' ; although at most locations , the tsunami height was similar or smaller than the `` rainy season high tide '' level . Tsunami survey heights : 0.6 m - 2.3 m ( 1.97 ft - 7.54 ft ) around the Ayeyarwady delta . 0.9 m - 2.9 m ( 2.95 ft - 9.5 ft ) at Dawei area . 0.7 m - 2.2 m ( 2.3 ft - 7.2 ft ) around Myeik . 0.4 m - 2.6 m ( 1.3 ft - 8.5 ft ) around Kawthaung . Interviews with local people indicate that they did not feel the earthquake in Taninthayi Division or in Ayeyarwaddy Delta . The 71 casualties can be attributed to poor housing infrastructure and additionally , the fact that the coastal residents in the surveyed areas live on flat land along the coast , especially in the Ayeyarwaddy Delta , and that there is no higher ground to evacuate . The tsunami heights from the 2004 December earthquake were not more than 3 m ( 9.8 ft ) along the Myanmar coast , the amplitudes are slightly large off the Ayeyarwaddy Delta , probably because the shallow delta cause a concentration in tsunami energy . Somalia ( edit ) The tsunami spawned from the megathrust earthquake near Sumatra travelled 5000 km ( 3106.86 miles ) west across the open ocean and ravaged the East African country of Somalia . Around 289 fatalities were reported in the Horn of Africa , drowned by four tsunami waves . The hardest hit was a 650 km ( 403.9 miles ) stretch of the Somalia coastline between Garacad ( Mudug region ) and Xaafuun ( Bari region ) , which forms part of the Puntland Province . Most of the victims were reported along the low - lying Xaafuun Peninsula . The Puntland coast in northern Somalia was by far the area hardest hit by the waves to the west of the Indian subcontinent . The waves arrived around noon local time . Consequently , tsunami runup heights vary from 5 m ( 16.4 ft ) to 9 m ( 29.5 ft ) with inundation distances varying from 44 m ( 0.027 miles ) to 704 m ( 0.44 miles ) . The maximum runup height of almost 9 m ( 29.5 ft ) was recorded in Bandarbeyla . An even higher runup point was measured on a cliff near the town of Eyl , solely on an eyewitness account . The highest death toll was in Xaafuun , also known as Hafun , with 19 bodies and 160 people presumed missing out of its 5000 inhabitants , which amounts to the highest number of casualties in a single African town and the largest tsunami death toll in a single town to the west of the Indian subcontinent . In Xaafuun , small drawbacks were observed before the third and most powerful tsunami flood the town . Numerous fishing boats and buildings were also devastated . Elsewhere in the Indian Ocean ( edit ) The tsunami also devastated Malaysia , mainly on the northern states such as Kedah , Perak and Penang and on offshore islands such as Langkawi island . Peninsular Malaysia was shielded by the full fury of the tsunami due to the protection offered by the island of Sumatra , which lies just off the western coast . Tsunami flooding the streets of Tanjung Tokong , George Town , Penang . In Bangladesh , located on the northern Bay of Bengal escaped major damage and deaths because the water displaced by the strike - slip fault was relatively little on the northern section of the rupture zone , which ruptured slowly . In Yemen , the tsunami killed 2 people with a maximum runup of 2 m ( 6.6 ft ) . The tsunami 's immense power was even detected as far away as Africa , where rough seas were reported , specifically on the eastern and southern coasts that faces the Indian Ocean . Countries apart from Somalia that were majorly affected with deaths include South Africa ( the furthest ) - 2 , Kenya - 1 , The Seychelles - 3 and Tanzania - 10 . Death toll and casualties ( edit ) Chennai 's Marina Beach after the tsunami . According to the U.S. Geological Survey a total of 227,898 people died ( see table below for details ) . Measured in lives lost , this is one of the ten worst earthquakes in recorded history , as well as the single worst tsunami in history . Indonesia was the worst affected area , with most death toll estimates at around 170,000 . However , another report by Siti Fadilah Supari , the Indonesian Minister of Health at the time , estimated the death total to be as high as 220,000 in Indonesia alone , giving a total of 280,000 fatalities . The tsunami caused serious damage and deaths as far as the east coast of Africa , with the farthest recorded death due to the tsunami occurring at Rooi Els in South Africa , 8,000 km ( 5,000 mi ) away from the epicentre . In total , eight people in South Africa died due to abnormally high sea levels and waves . Relief agencies reported that one - third of the dead appeared to be children . This was a result of the high proportion of children in the populations of many of the affected regions and because children were the least able to resist being overcome by the surging waters . Oxfam went on to report that as many as four times more women than men were killed in some regions because they were waiting on the beach for the fishermen to return and looking after their children in the houses . In addition to the large number of local residents , up to 9,000 foreign tourists ( mostly Europeans ) enjoying the peak holiday travel season were among the dead or missing , especially people from the Nordic countries . The European nation hardest hit may have been Sweden , whose death toll was 543 . Germany was close behind with 539 identified victims . Patong Beach , Thailand , after the tsunami States of emergency were declared in Sri Lanka , Indonesia , and the Maldives . The United Nations estimated at the outset that the relief operation would be the costliest in human history . Then - UN Secretary - General Kofi Annan stated that reconstruction would probably take between five and ten years . Governments and non-governmental organisations feared that the final death toll might double as a result of diseases , prompting a massive humanitarian response . In the end , this fear did not materialise . For purposes of establishing timelines of local events , the time zones of affected areas are : UTC + 3 : ( Kenya , Madagascar , Somalia , Tanzania ) ; UTC + 4 : ( Mauritius , Réunion , Seychelles ) ; UTC + 5 : ( Maldives ) ; UTC + 5 : 30 : ( India , Sri Lanka ) ; UTC + 6 : ( Bangladesh ) ; UTC + 6 : 30 : ( Cocos Islands , Myanmar ) ; UTC + 7 : ( Indonesia ( western ) , Thailand ) ; UTC + 8 : ( Malaysia , Singapore ) . Since the earthquake occurred at 00 : 58 : 53 UTC , add the above offsets to find the local time of the earthquake .

For more information on those deaths , see Countries affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake # S - Z Countries affected ( edit ) Countries most affected by the tsunami , with the earthquake 's epicenter . Main article : Countries affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake The earthquake and resulting tsunami affected many countries in Southeast Asia and beyond , including Indonesia , Sri Lanka , India , Thailand , the Maldives , Somalia , Myanmar , Malaysia , Seychelles and others . Many other countries , especially in Europe , had large numbers of citizens traveling in the region on holiday . Sweden lost 543 citizens in the disaster , while Germany had 539 identified victims . Event in Historical context ( edit ) See also : Library damage resulting from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake The last major tsunami in the Indian Ocean was about A.D. 1400 . In 2008 , a team of scientists working on Phra Thong , a barrier island along the hard - hit west coast of Thailand , reported evidence of at least three previous major tsunamis in the preceding 2,800 years , the most recent from about 700 years ago . A second team found similar evidence of previous tsunamis in Aceh , a province at the northern tip of Sumatra ; radiocarbon dating of bark fragments in soil below the second sand layer led the scientists to estimate that the most recent predecessor to the 2004 tsunami probably occurred between A.D. 1300 and 1450 . The 2004 earthquake and tsunami combined are the world 's deadliest natural disaster since the 1976 Tangshan earthquake . The earthquake was the third most powerful earthquake recorded since 1900 . The deadliest known earthquake in history occurred in 1556 in Shaanxi , China , with an estimated death toll of 830,000 , though figures from this period may not be as reliable . The 2004 tsunami is the deadliest in recorded history . Before 2004 , the tsunami created in both Indian and Pacific Ocean waters by the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa , thought to have resulted in anywhere from 36,000 to 120,000 deaths , had probably been the deadliest in the region . In 1782 about 40,000 people are thought to have been killed by a tsunami ( or a cyclone ) in the South China Sea . The most deadly tsunami before 2004 was Italy 's 1908 Messina earthquake on the Mediterranean Sea where the earthquake and tsunami killed about 123,000 . Humanitarian response ( edit ) Main article : Humanitarian response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake German tsunami relief mission team members of AGSEP visiting tsunami - hit Mullaitivu in Northern Province , Sri Lanka in January 2005 Memorial dedicated to victims of the tsunami , Batticaloa , Eastern Province , Sri Lanka A great deal of humanitarian aid was needed because of widespread damage of the infrastructure , shortages of food and water , and economic damage . Epidemics were of special concern due to the high population density and tropical climate of the affected areas . The main concern of humanitarian and government agencies was to provide sanitation facilities and fresh drinking water to contain the spread of diseases such as cholera , diphtheria , dysentery , typhoid and hepatitis A and B . There was also a great concern that the death toll could increase as disease and hunger spread . However , because of the initial quick response , this was minimized . In the days following the tsunami , significant effort was spent in burying bodies hurriedly due to fear of disease spreading . However , the public health risks may have been exaggerated , and therefore this may not have been the best way to allocate resources . The World Food Programme provided food aid to more than 1.3 million people affected by the tsunami . Further information : Health risks from dead bodies Nations all over the world provided over US $14 billion in aid for damaged regions , with the governments of Australia pledging US $819.9 million ( including a US $760.6 - million aid package for Indonesia ) , Germany offering US $660 million , Japan offering US $500 million , Canada offering US $343 million , Norway and the Netherlands offering both US $183 million , the United States offering US $35 million initially ( increased to US $350 million ) , and the World Bank offering US $250 million . Also Italy offered US $95 million , increased later to US $113 million of which US $42 million was donated by the population using the SMS system According to USAID , the US has pledged additional funds in long - term U.S. support to help the tsunami victims rebuild their lives . On 9 February 2005 , President Bush asked Congress to increase the U.S. commitment to a total of US $950 million . Officials estimated that billions of dollars would be needed . Bush also asked his father , former President George H.W. Bush , and former President Bill Clinton to lead a U.S. effort to provide private aid to the tsunami victims . In mid-March the Asian Development Bank reported that over US $4 billion in aid promised by governments was behind schedule . Sri Lanka reported that it had received no foreign government aid , while foreign individuals had been generous . Many charities were given considerable donations from the public . For example , in the United Kingdom the public donated roughly £ 330,000,000 sterling ( nearly US $600,000,000 ) . This considerably outweighed the donation by the government and came to an average of about £ 5.50 ( US $10 ) donated by every citizen . In August 2006 , fifteen local aid staff working on post-tsunami rebuilding were found executed in northeast Sri Lanka after heavy fighting , the main umbrella body for aid agencies in the country said . There had been reports and rumors that the local aid workers had been killed . Impact ( edit ) Economic Impacts ( edit ) The level of damage to the economy resulting from the tsunami depends on the scale examined . While local economies were devastated , the overall impact to the national economies was minor . The two main occupations affected by the tsunami were fishing and tourism . The impact on coastal fishing communities and the people living there , some of the poorest in the region , has been devastating with high losses of income earners as well as boats and fishing gear . In Sri Lanka artisanal fishery , where the use of fish baskets , fishing traps , and spears are commonly used , is an important source of fish for local markets ; industrial fishery is the major economic activity , providing direct employment to about 250,000 people . In recent years the fishery industry has emerged as a dynamic export - oriented sector , generating substantial foreign exchange earnings . Preliminary estimates indicate that 66 % of the fishing fleet and industrial infrastructure in coastal regions have been destroyed by the wave surges , which will have adverse economic effects both at local and national levels . While the tsunami destroyed many of the boats vital to Sri Lanka 's fishing industry , it also created demand for fiberglass reinforced plastic catamarans in boatyards of Tamil Nadu . Since over 51,000 vessels were lost to the tsunami , the industry boomed . However , the huge demand has led to lower quality in the process , and some important materials were sacrificed to cut prices for those who were impoverished by the tsunami . But some economists believe that damage to the affected national economies will be minor because losses in the tourism and fishing industries are a relatively small percentage of the GDP . However , others caution that damage to infrastructure is an overriding factor . In some areas drinking water supplies and farm fields may have been contaminated for years by salt water from the ocean . Even though only coastal regions were directly affected by the waters of the tsunami , the indirect effects have spread to inland provinces as well . Since the media coverage of the event was so extensive , many tourists cancelled vacations and trips to that part of the world , even though their travel destinations may not have been affected . This ripple effect could especially be felt in the inland provinces of Thailand , such as Krabi , which acted like a starting point for many other tourist destinations in Thailand . Both the earthquake and the tsunami may have affected shipping in the Malacca Straits , which separate Malaysia and the Indonesian island of Sumatra , by changing the depth of the seabed and by disturbing navigational buoys and old shipwrecks . In one area of the Strait , water depths were previously up to 4,000 feet ( 1,200 m ) , and are now only 100 feet ( 30 m ) in some areas , making shipping impossible and dangerous . These problems also made the delivery of relief aid more challenging . Compiling new navigational charts may take months or years . However , officials hope that piracy in the region will drop off as a result of the tsunami . Countries in the region appealed to tourists to return , pointing out that most tourist infrastructure is undamaged . However , tourists were reluctant to do so for psychological reasons . Even beach resorts in parts of Thailand which were completely untouched by the tsunami were hit by cancellations . Environmental impact ( edit ) Tsunami inundation , Khao Lak , North of Phuket , Thailand ASTER Images and SRTM Elevation Model . Beyond the heavy toll on human lives , the Indian Ocean earthquake has caused an enormous environmental impact that will affect the region for many years to come . It has been reported that severe damage has been inflicted on ecosystems such as mangroves , coral reefs , forests , coastal wetlands , vegetation , sand dunes and rock formations , animal and plant biodiversity and groundwater . In addition , the spread of solid and liquid waste and industrial chemicals , water pollution and the destruction of sewage collectors and treatment plants threaten the environment even further , in untold ways . The environmental impact will take a long time and significant resources to assess . According to specialists , the main effect is being caused by poisoning of the freshwater supplies and of the soil by saltwater infiltration and a deposit of a salt layer over arable land . It has been reported that in the Maldives , 16 to 17 coral reef atolls that were overcome by sea waves are completely without fresh water and could be rendered uninhabitable for decades . Uncountable wells that served communities were invaded by sea , sand , and earth ; and aquifers were invaded through porous rock . Salted - over soil becomes sterile , and it is difficult and costly to restore for agriculture . It also causes the death of plants and important soil micro-organisms . Thousands of rice , mango , and banana plantations in Sri Lanka were destroyed almost entirely and will take years to recover . On the island 's east coast , the tsunami contaminated wells on which many villagers relied for drinking water . The Colombo - based International Water Management Institute monitored the effects of saltwater and concluded that the wells recovered to pre-tsunami drinking water quality one and a half years after the event . IWMI developed protocols for cleaning wells contaminated by saltwater ; these were subsequently officially endorsed by the World Health Organization as part of its series of Emergency Guidelines . The United Nations Environment Programme ( UNEP ) is working with governments of the region in order to determine the severity of the ecological impact and how to address it . UNEP has decided to earmark a US $1,000,000 emergency fund and to establish a Task Force to respond to requests for technical assistance from countries affected by the tsunami . In response to a request from the Maldivian Government , the Australian Government sent ecological experts to help restore marine environments and coral reefs -- the lifeblood of Maldivian tourism . Much of the ecological expertise has been rendered from work with the Great Barrier Reef , in Australia 's northeastern waters . Other effects ( edit ) Tsunami aftermath in Aceh , Indonesia Psychological trauma Many health professionals and aid workers have reported widespread psychological trauma associated with the tsunami . Traditional beliefs in many of the affected regions state that a relative of the family must bury the body of the dead , and in many cases , no body remained to be buried . Women in Aceh required a special approach from foreign aid agencies , and continue to have unique needs . Conflicts and a cease - fire The hardest hit area , Aceh , is considered to be a religiously conservative Islamic society and has had no tourism nor any Western presence in recent years due to armed conflict between the Indonesian military and Acehnese separatists . Some believe that the tsunami was divine punishment for lay Muslims shirking their daily prayers and / or following a materialistic lifestyle . Others have said that Allah was angry that there were Muslims killing other Muslims in an ongoing conflict . Saudi cleric Muhammad Al - Munajjid attributed it to divine retribution against non-Muslim vacationers `` who used to sprawl all over the beaches and in pubs overflowing with wine '' during Christmas break . The widespread devastation caused by the tsunami led the main rebel group GAM to declare a cease - fire on 28 December 2004 followed by the Indonesian government , and the two groups resumed long - stalled peace talks , which resulted in a peace agreement signed 15 August 2005 . The agreement explicitly cites the tsunami as a justification . Media coverage In a poll conducted in 27 countries by GlobeScan for BBC World Service , 15 percent of respondents named the tsunami the most significant event of the year . Only the Iraq War was named by as many respondents . The extensive international media coverage of the tsunami , and the role of mass media and journalists in reconstruction , were discussed by editors of newspapers and broadcast media in tsunami - affected areas , in special video - conferences set up by the Asia Pacific Journalism Centre . Fraud , false alarms , and panic The 26 December 2004 Asian tsunami left both the people and government of India in a state of heightened alert . On 30 December 2004 , four days after the tsunami , the Portland , Oregon - based company Terra Research notified the India government that its sensors indicated there was a possibility of 7.9 to 8.1 magnitude tectonic shift in the next 12 hours between Sumatra and New Zealand . In response , the India Home Affairs minister announced that a fresh onslaught of deadly tsunami were likely along the India southern coast and Andaman and Nicobar Islands , even as there was no sign of turbulence in the region . The announcement generated panic in the Indian Ocean region and caused thousands to flee their homes , which resulted in jammed roads . The announcement was a false alarm and the Home Affairs minister withdrew their announcement . On further investigation , the India government learned that the consulting company Terra Research was run from the home of a self - described earthquake forecaster who had no telephone listing and maintained a website where he sold copies of his detection system . Three days after the announcement , Indian National Congress president Sonia Gandhi called Science & Technology minister Kapil Sibal to express her concern about Sibal 's 30 December public warning being `` hogwash '' . Impact on Sweden The tsunami had a severe humanitarian and political impact in Sweden . The hardest hit country outside Asia , 543 Swedish tourists , mainly in Thailand , died . With no single incident having killed more Swedish people since the battle of Poltava in 1709 , the cabinet of Göran Persson was heavily criticized for lack of action . Tsunami warning system Smith Dharmasaroja , a meteorologist who predicted the tsunami before it hit , was assigned the development of the Thai tsunami warning system . The Indian Ocean Tsunami warning system was formed in early 2005 immediately after the tragedy of 26 December 2004 to provide an early warning of tsunamis for inhabitants around the Indian Ocean coasts . Effect on the Earth The changes in the distribution of masses inside the Earth due to the earthquake had several consequences . It displaced the North Pole by 2.5 cm . It also changed slightly the shape of the Earth , more specifically it decreased Earth 's oblateness by about one part in 10 billion , consequentially increasing Earth 's rotation a little and thus shortening the length of the day by 2.68 microseconds . In popular culture ( edit ) Apung 1 ( edit ) Apung 1 , a 2,600 - ton ship , was flung some 2 -- 3 km inland by the tsunami , and has become a popular tourist attraction in Banda Aceh Films and television ( edit ) Children of Tsunami : No More Tears ( 2005 ) , a 24 - minute documentary film , and its full - length follow - up Children of Tsunami : The Journey Continues . Hafalan Shalat Delisa ( 2011 ) , an Indonesian movie . Tsunami : The Aftermath ( 2006 ) , a two - part television miniseries about its after - effects . The Impossible ( 2012 ) , an English - language Spanish film based on the story of María Belón and her family . Dasavathaaram ( 2008 ) , a Tamil disaster film which culminates with 2004 tsunami . Kayal ( 2014 ) , a Tamil drama film which culminates with the 2004 tsunami . The Wave That Shook The World ( 2005 ) , a PBS NOVA educational television - series documentary about the 2004 tsunami . Hereafter ( 2010 ) , a main character 's life is affected after surviving the tsunami while on vacation . Tsunami : Caught on Camera ( 2009 ) , a minute - by - minute account of the 2004 tsunami told through amateur video footage of witnesses from Indonesia , Thailand and Sri Lanka . Naked Science : Tsunami Warning ( 2009 ) , an episode of an American documentary television series that premiered in 2004 on the National Geographic Channel with the episode dedicated to the events of 26 December 2004 and implications of a worldwide tsunami warning system . Literature ( edit ) The Killing Sea , a 2006 novel by Richard Lewis , tells the story of two teenagers - a tourist and a local - as they struggle to survive in the days after the tsunami . Wave , a memoir by Sonali Daraniyagala , details the impact of the tsunami on Sri Lanka and the Indian subcontinent . Museum ( edit ) Aceh Tsunami Museum , located in Banda Aceh , Indonesia , was designed as a symbolic reminder of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami disaster , as well as an educational center and an emergency disaster shelter in case the area is ever hit by a tsunami again . Rediscovery of Mahabalipuram ( edit ) Another result of the tsunami , respective of Indian culture , was the water that washed away centuries of sand from some of the ruins of a 1,200 - year - old lost city at Mahabalipuram on the south coast of India . The site , containing such notable structures as a half - buried granite lion near a 7th - century Mahablipuram temple and a relic depicting an elephant , is part of what archaeologists believe to be an ancient port city that was swallowed by the sea hundreds of years ago . Music ( edit ) The song `` 12 / 26 '' by Kimya Dawson was written about the event and the humanitarian efforts by other countries afterward , from the perspective of a victim whose whole family died in the disaster .

where did the boxing day tsunami take place
[ "The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on 26 December with the epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The shock had a moment magnitude of 9.1–9.3 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent). The undersea megathrust earthquake was caused when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Burma Plate and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000–280,000 people in 14 countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 metres (100 ft) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand." ]

While scouting caves , Indy discovers a group of grave robbers who have found a golden crucifix belonging to Coronado and steals it from them , hoping to donate it to a museum . The men give chase through a passing circus train , leaving Indy with a bloody cut across his chin from a bullwhip and a new phobia of snakes . Indy escapes , but the local sheriff makes him return the cross to the robbers . Impressed with Indy 's bravery , the leader of the robbers gives Indy his fedora , and encourages him to not give up . In 1938 , Indy recovers the cross off the coast of Portugal and donates it to Marcus Brody 's museum . Later , Indy is introduced to Walter Donovan , who informs him that Indy 's father , Henry Jones Sr. , has vanished while searching for the Holy Grail , using an incomplete inscription as his guide . Indy then receives Henry 's Grail diary via mail from Venice . Realizing that he would not have sent the diary unless he was in trouble , Indy and Marcus travel to Venice , where they meet Henry 's Austrian colleague , Dr. Elsa Schneider . Beneath the library where Henry was last seen , Indy and Elsa discover the tomb of a First Crusade knight , which also contains a complete version of the inscription that Henry had used , this one revealing the location of the Grail . They flee , however , when the catacombs are set aflame by the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword , a secret society that protects the Grail from evildoers . Indy and Elsa capture one of the Brotherhood , Kazim , and Indy tells him that his goal is only to find his father and that he has no interest in finding the Grail . Kazim tells him that Henry is being held in Castle Brunwald on the Austrian - German border . Marcus later reveals a map drawn by Henry of the route to the Grail , which begins in Alexandretta . Indy removes the pages containing the map from the diary , gives it to Marcus for safekeeping and sends Marcus to İskenderun , the city built on the ruins of Alexandretta to rendezvous with their old friend Sallah , and he and Elsa head to Castle Brunwald . At Castle Brunwald , Indy rescues Henry , but learns that Elsa and Donovan are actually working with the Nazis , and are using him to find the Grail for them . Meanwhile , Marcus is captured in Hatay , while waiting with Sallah for the Joneses . The Joneses escape from Castle Brunwald . Henry tells Indy that to reach the Grail , one must face three booby traps and his diary contains the clues to guide them through the challenges safely . They recover the diary from Elsa at a book burning rally in Berlin . They then board a Zeppelin to leave Germany , but the Nazis soon discover the Joneses are aboard and they escape in a parasite biplane . They crash while engaging in a dogfight with Luftwaffe fighters . The two meet up with Sallah in Hatay , where they learn of Marcus 's abduction . The Nazis are already moving toward the Grail 's location , using the map possessed by Marcus . In exchange for a Rolls - Royce , the Sultan of Hatay has given the Nazis full access to his equipment for the expedition , including a large tank . Indy , Henry , and Sallah find the Nazi expedition , which is ambushed by the Brotherhood . During the battle , Henry is captured by SS Colonel Ernst Vogel while attempting to rescue Marcus from the tank ; Kazim and his comrades are killed . The younger Jones pursues the tank on horseback and , with the aid of Sallah , saves Henry and Marcus . He is then caught up in a fight with Vogel , and barely escapes before the tank goes over a cliff , crushing Vogel to death . Indy , Henry , Marcus , and Sallah catch up with the surviving Nazis , led by Donovan and Elsa , who have found the temple where the Grail is kept but are unable to pass through the three protective booby traps . Donovan mortally wounds Henry in order to force Indy to risk his life in the traps to find the Grail and use its healing power to save Henry . Using the information in the diary and followed by Donovan and Elsa , Indy safely overcomes the traps and reaches the Grail 's chamber , which is guarded by a knight . He has been kept alive for seven hundred years by the power of the Grail , which is hidden among dozens of false Grails ; only the true Grail brings life , while a false one claims it . Elsa purposefully selects the most princely grail , a golden chalice studded with emeralds , for Donovan , who ages into dust after drinking from it , because the one Elsa chose was a false one . Indy selects the true Grail , a simple wooden cup , which the knight warns can not be taken beyond the temple 's entrance . Indy fills the Grail with holy water and takes it to Henry , which heals him instantly . Elsa , disregarding the knight 's warning , then takes the Grail and attempts to leave with it . The temple begins to collapse and Elsa falls to her death trying to recover the Grail . Indy nearly suffers the same fate but Henry persuades him to let it go . The Joneses , Marcus , and Sallah escape the temple and ride off into the sunset . Cast ( edit ) See also : List of characters in the Indiana Jones series Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones : The archaeologist adventurer who seeks to rescue his father and find the Holy Grail . Ford said he loved the idea of introducing Indiana 's father because it allowed him to explore another side to Indiana 's personality : `` These are men who have never made any accommodation to each other . Indy behaves differently in his father 's presence . Who else would dare call Indy ' junior ' ? '' River Phoenix as the teenage Jones . Phoenix had portrayed the son of Ford 's character in The Mosquito Coast ( 1986 ) . Ford recommended Phoenix for the part ; he said that of the young actors working at the time , Phoenix looked the most like him when he was around that age . Sean Connery as Professor Henry Jones : Indiana 's father , a professor of Medieval literature who cared more about looking for the Grail than raising his son . Spielberg had Connery in mind when he suggested introducing Indiana 's father , though he did not tell Lucas at first . Consequently , Lucas wrote the role as `` a crazy , eccentric '' professor resembling Laurence Olivier , whose relationship with Indiana is `` strict schoolmaster and student rather than a father and son '' . Spielberg had been a fan of Connery 's work as James Bond and felt that no one else could perform the role as well . Spielberg biographer Joseph McBride wrote , `` Connery was already the father of Indiana Jones since the series had sprung from the desire of Lucas and Spielberg to rival ( and outdo ) Connery 's James Bond movies . '' Connery initially turned the role down as he is only twelve years older than Ford , but he relented . Connery -- a student of history -- began to reshape the character , and revisions were made to the script to address his concerns . `` I wanted to play Henry Jones as a kind of Sir Richard ( Francis ) Burton , '' Connery commented . `` I was bound to have fun with the role of a gruff , Victorian Scottish father . '' Connery believed Henry should be a match for his son , telling Spielberg that `` whatever Indy 'd done my character has done and my character has done it better '' . Connery signed to the film on March 25 , 1988 . He improvised the line , `` She talks in her sleep '' , which was left in because it made everyone laugh ; in Boam 's scripts , Henry telling Indiana that he slept with Elsa occurs later . Alex Hyde - White as Young Henry Jones , Sr . Alison Doody as Dr. Elsa Schneider : An Austrian art professor who is in league with the Nazis . She seduces the Joneses to trick them . Doody was 21 when she auditioned and was one of the first actresses who met for the part . Denholm Elliott as Dr. Marcus Brody : Indiana 's bumbling English colleague . Elliott returned after Spielberg sought to recapture the tone of Raiders of the Lost Ark ( 1981 ) , following the actor 's absence in the darker Temple of Doom ( 1984 ) . John Rhys - Davies as Sallah : A friend of Indiana and a professional excavator living in Cairo . Like Elliott 's , Rhys - Davies ' return was an attempt to recapture the spirit of Raiders of the Lost Ark . Julian Glover as Walter Donovan : An American businessman who sends the Joneses on their quest for the Holy Grail . Donovan works for the Nazis and desires immortality . Glover previously appeared as General Veers in Lucas 's The Empire Strikes Back . He originally auditioned for the role of Vogel . Glover , who is English , adopted an American accent for the film , but was dissatisfied with the result . Michael Byrne as Colonel Vogel : A brutal SS colonel . Byrne and Ford had previously starred in Force 10 from Navarone ( 1978 ) , in which they also respectively played a German and an American . Kevork Malikyan as Kazim : The leader of the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword , an organization that protects the Holy Grail . Malikyan had impressed Spielberg with his performance in Midnight Express ( 1978 ) and would have auditioned for the role of Sallah in Raiders of the Lost Ark had a traffic jam not delayed his meeting with the director . Robert Eddison as the Grail Knight : The guardian of the Grail who drank from the cup of Christ during the Crusades and is immortal as long as he stays within the temple . Eddison was a stage and television veteran only appearing once before in film ( a supporting role in Peter Ustinov 's 1948 comedy Vice Versa ) . Glover recalled Eddison was excited and nervous for his film debut , often asking if he had performed correctly . Laurence Olivier was originally considered to play the Grail Knight , but he was too ill and died the same year in which the film was released . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Lucas and Spielberg had intended to make a trilogy of Indiana Jones films since Lucas had first pitched Raiders of the Lost Ark to Spielberg in 1977 . After the mixed critical and public reaction to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom , Spielberg decided to complete the trilogy to fulfill his promise to Lucas and `` to apologize for the second one '' . The pair had the intention of revitalizing the series by evoking the spirit and tone of Raiders of the Lost Ark . Throughout the film 's development and pre-production , Spielberg admitted he was `` consciously regressing '' in making the film . Due to his commitment to the film , the director had to drop out of directing Big and Rain Man . Chris Columbus ' script featured the Monkey King in Africa Lucas initially suggested making the film `` a haunted mansion movie '' , for which Romancing the Stone writer Diane Thomas wrote a script . Spielberg rejected the idea because of the similarity to Poltergeist , which he had co-written and produced . Lucas first introduced the Holy Grail in an idea for the film 's prologue , which was to be set in Scotland . He intended the Grail to have a pagan basis , with the rest of the film revolving around a separate Christian artifact in Africa . Spielberg did not care for the Grail idea , which he found too esoteric , even after Lucas suggested giving it healing powers and the ability to grant immortality . In September 1984 , Lucas completed an eight - page treatment titled Indiana Jones and the Monkey King , which he soon followed with an 11 - page outline . The story saw Indiana battling a ghost in Scotland before finding the Fountain of Youth in Africa . Chris Columbus -- who had written the Spielberg - produced Gremlins , The Goonies , and Young Sherlock Holmes -- was hired to write the script . His first draft , dated May 3 , 1985 , changed the main plot device to a Garden of Immortal Peaches . It begins in 1937 , with Indiana battling the murderous ghost of Baron Seamus Seagrove III in Scotland . Indiana travels to Mozambique to aid Dr. Clare Clarke ( a Katharine Hepburn type according to Lucas ) , who has found a 200 - year - old pygmy . The pygmy is kidnapped by the Nazis during a boat chase , and Indiana , Clare and Scraggy Brier -- an old friend of Indiana -- travel up the Zambezi river to rescue him . Indiana is killed in the climactic battle but is resurrected by the Monkey King . Other characters include a cannibalistic African tribe ; Nazi Sergeant Gutterbuhg , who has a mechanical arm ; Betsy , a stowaway student who is suicidally in love with Indiana ; and a pirate leader named Kezure ( described as a Toshiro Mifune type ) , who dies eating a peach because he is not pure of heart . Columbus 's second draft , dated August 6 , 1985 , removed Betsy and featured Dash -- an expatriate bar owner for whom the Nazis work -- and the Monkey King as villains . The Monkey King forces Indiana and Dash to play chess with real people and disintegrates each person who is captured . Indiana subsequently battles the undead , destroys the Monkey King 's rod , and marries Clare . Location scouting commenced in Africa but Spielberg and Lucas abandoned Monkey King because of its negative depiction of African natives , and because the script was too unrealistic . Spielberg acknowledged that it made him `` ... feel very old , too old to direct it . '' Columbus 's script was leaked onto the Internet in 1997 , and many believed it was an early draft for the fourth film because it was mistakenly dated to 1995 . Unsatisfied , Spielberg suggested introducing Indiana 's father , Henry Jones , Sr. Lucas was dubious , believing the Grail should be the story 's focus , but Spielberg convinced him that the father -- son relationship would serve as a great metaphor in Indiana 's search for the artifact . Spielberg hired Menno Meyjes , who had worked on Spielberg 's The Color Purple and Empire of the Sun , to begin a new script on January 1 , 1986 . Meyjes completed his script ten months later . It depicted Indiana searching for his father in Montségur , where he meets a nun named Chantal . Indiana travels to Venice , takes the Orient Express to Istanbul , and continues by train to Petra , where he meets Sallah and reunites with his father . Together they find the grail . At the climax , a Nazi villain touches the Grail and explodes ; when Henry touches it , he ascends a stairway to Heaven . Chantal chooses to stay on Earth because of her love for Indiana . In a revised draft dated two months later , Indiana finds his father in Krak des Chevaliers , the Nazi leader is a woman named Greta von Grimm , and Indiana battles a demon at the Grail site , which he defeats with a dagger inscribed with `` God is King '' . The prologue in both drafts has Indiana in Mexico battling for possession of Montezuma 's death mask with a man who owns gorillas as pets . Indiana Jones ( River Phoenix ) finds the Cross of Coronado as a 13 - year - old Boy Scout . Spielberg suggested making Indiana a Boy Scout as both he and Harrison Ford were former Scouts . Spielberg suggested Innerspace writer Jeffrey Boam perform the next rewrite . Boam spent two weeks reworking the story with Lucas , which yielded a treatment that is largely similar to the final film . Boam told Lucas that Indiana should find his father in the middle of the story . `` Given the fact that it 's the third film in the series , you could n't just end with them obtaining the object . That 's how the first two films ended , '' he said , `` So I thought , let them lose the Grail , and let the father -- son relationship be the main point . It 's an archaeological search for Indy 's own identity and coming to accept his father is more what it 's about ( than the quest for the Grail ) . '' Boam said he felt there was not enough character development in the previous films . In Boam 's first draft , dated September 1987 , the film is set in 1939 . The prologue has adult Indiana retrieving an Aztec relic for a museum curator in Mexico and features the circus train . Henry and Elsa ( who is described as having dark hair ) were searching for the Grail on behalf of the Chandler Foundation , before Henry went missing . The character of Kazim is here named Kemal , and is an agent of the Republic of Hatay , which seeks the grail for its own . Kemal shoots Henry and dies drinking from the wrong chalice . The Grail Knight battles Indiana on horseback , while Vogel is crushed by a boulder when stealing the Grail . Boam 's February 23 , 1988 rewrite utilized many of Connery 's comic suggestions . It included the prologue that was eventually filmed ; Lucas had to convince Spielberg to show Indiana as a boy because of the mixed response to Empire of the Sun , which was about a young boy . Spielberg -- who was later awarded the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award -- had the idea of making Indiana a Boy Scout . Indiana 's mother , named Margaret in this version , dismisses Indiana when he returns home with the Cross of Coronado , while his father is on a long distance call . Walter Chandler of the Chandler Foundation features , but is not the main villain ; he plunges to his death in the tank . Elsa introduces Indiana and Brody to a large Venetian family that knows Henry . Leni Riefenstahl appears at the Nazi rally in Berlin . Vogel is beheaded by the traps guarding the Grail . Kemal tries to blow up the Grail Temple during a comic fight in which gunpowder is repeatedly lit and extinguished . Elsa shoots Henry , then dies drinking from the wrong Grail , and Indiana rescues his father from falling into the chasm while grasping for the Grail . Boam 's revision on March 1 showed Henry causing the seagulls to strike the plane , and has Henry saving Indiana at the end . Between an undated `` Amblin '' revision and a rewrite by Tom Stoppard ( under the pen name Barry Watson ) dated May 8 , 1988 , further changes were made . Stoppard polished most of the dialogue , and created the `` Panama Hat '' character to link the prologue 's segments featuring the young and adult Indianas . The Venetian family is cut . Kemal is renamed Kazim and now wants to protect the grail rather than find it . Chandler is renamed Donovan . The scene of Brody being captured is added . Vogel now dies in the tank , while Donovan shoots Henry and then drinks from the false grail , and Elsa falls into the chasm . The Grail trials are expanded to include the stone - stepping and leap of faith . Filming ( edit ) The Double Arch in the Arches National Park in Utah , United States The Bürresheim Castle ( de ) , near Mayen , in the German state of Rhineland - Palatinate , served as the `` Brunwald Castle '' in Austria near the German border Administration Building , on Treasure Island , in San Francisco , California , served as the `` Berlin Airport '' The Mónsul beach in the Cabo de Gata - Níjar Natural Park in Almería , Spain The tank chase was filmed in the Tabernas Desert in Almería , Spain Principal photography began on May 16 , 1988 , in the Tabernas Desert in Spain 's Almería province . Spielberg originally had planned the chase to be a short sequence shot over two days , but he drew up storyboards to make the scene an action - packed centerpiece . Thinking he would not surpass the truck chase from Raiders of the Lost Ark ( because the truck was much faster than the tank ) , he felt this sequence should be more story - based and needed to show Indiana and Henry helping each other . He later said he had more fun storyboarding the sequence than filming it . The second unit had begun filming two weeks before . After approximately ten days , the production moved to Bellas Artes to film the scenes set in the Sultan of Hatay 's palace . Cabo de Gata - Níjar Natural Park was used for the road , tunnel and beach sequence in which birds strike the plane . The shoot 's Spanish portion wrapped on June 2 , 1988 , in Guadix , Granada , with filming of Brody 's capture at İskenderun train station . The filmmakers built a mosque near the station for atmosphere , rather than adding it as a visual effect . Filming for the castle interiors took place in the United Kingdom from June 5 to 10 , 1988 , at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood , England . On June 16 Lawrence Hall , London , was used for the airport interiors . Filming returned to Elstree the next day to capture the motorcycle escape , continuing at the studio for interior scenes until July 18 . One day was spent at North Weald Airfield on June 29 to film Indiana leaving for Venice . Ford and Connery acted much of the Zeppelin table conversation without trousers on because of the overheated set . Spielberg , Marshall and Kennedy interrupted the shoot to make a plea to the Parliament of the United Kingdom to support the economically `` depressed '' British studios . July 20 -- 22 was spent filming the temple interiors . The temple set , which took six weeks to build , was supported on 80 feet of hydraulics and ten gimbals for use during the earthquake scene . Resetting between takes took twenty minutes while the hydraulics were put to their starting positions and the cracks filled with plaster . The shot of the Grail falling to the temple floor -- causing the first crack to appear -- was attempted on the full - size set , but proved too difficult . Instead , crews built a separate floor section that incorporated a pre-scored crack sealed with plaster . It took several takes to throw the Grail from six feet onto the right part of the crack . July 25 -- 26 was spent on night shoots at Stowe School , Stowe , Buckinghamshire , for the Nazi rally . Filming resumed two days later at Elstree , where Spielberg swiftly filmed the library , Portuguese freighter , and catacombs sequences . The steamship fight in the prologue 's 1938 portion was filmed in three days on a sixty - by - forty - feet deck built on gimbals at Elstree . A dozen dump tanks -- each holding three hundred imperial gallons ( 360 U.S. gallons ; 3000 lb . ) of water -- were used in the scene . Henry 's house was filmed at Mill Hill , London . Indiana and Kazim 's fight in Venice in front of a ship 's propeller was filmed in a water tank at Elstree . Spielberg used a long focus lens to make it appear the actors were closer to the propeller than they really were . Two days later , on August 4 , another portion of the boat chase using Hacker Craft sport boats , was filmed at Tilbury Docks in Essex . The shot of the boats passing between two ships was achieved by first cabling the ships off so they would be safe . The ships were moved together while the boats passed between , close enough that one of the boats scraped the sides of the ships . An empty speedboat containing dummies was launched from a floating platform between the ships amid fire and smoke that helped obscure the platform . The stunt was performed twice because the boat landed too short of the camera in the first attempt . The following day , filming in England wrapped at the Royal Masonic School in Rickmansworth , which doubled for Indiana 's college ( as it had in Raiders of the Lost Ark ) . Al Khazneh ( The Treasury ) at Petra , Jordan was used for the entrance to the temple housing the Holy Grail Shooting in Venice took place on August 8 . For scenes such as Indiana and Brody greeting Elsa , shots of the boat chase , and Kazim telling Indiana where his father is , Robert Watts gained control of the Grand Canal from 7 am to 1 pm , sealing off tourists for as long as possible . Cinematographer Douglas Slocombe positioned the camera to ensure no satellite dishes would be visible . San Barnaba di Venezia served as the library 's exterior . The next day , filming moved to the ancient city of Petra , Jordan , where Al Khazneh ( The Treasury ) stood in for the temple housing the Grail . The cast and crew became guests of King Hussein and Queen Noor . The Treasury had previously appeared in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger . The main cast completed their scenes that week , after 63 days of filming . The second unit filmed part of the prologue 's 1912 segment from August 29 to September 3 . The main unit began two days later with the circus train sequence at Alamosa , Colorado , on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad . They filmed at Pagosa Springs on September 7 , and then at Cortez on September 10 . From September 14 to 16 , filming of Indiana falling into the train carriages took place in Los Angeles . The production then moved to Utah 's Arches National Park to shoot more of the opening . A house in Antonito , Colorado was used for the Jones family home . The production had intended to film at Mesa Verde National Park , but Native American representatives had religious objections to its use . When Spielberg and editor Michael Kahn viewed a rough cut of the film in late 1988 , they felt it suffered from a lack of action . The motorcycle chase was shot during post-production at Mount Tamalpais and Fairfax near Skywalker Ranch . The closing shot of Indiana , Henry , Sallah and Brody riding into the sunset was filmed in Texas in early 1989 . Design ( edit ) Mechanical effects supervisor George Gibbs said the film was the most difficult one of his career . He visited a museum to negotiate renting a small French World War I tank , but decided he wanted to make one . The tank was based on the Tank Mark VIII , which was 36 feet ( 11 m ) long and weighed 28 short tons ( 25 t ) . Gibbs built the tank over the framework of a 28 - short - ton ( 25 t ) excavator and added 7 - short - ton ( 6.4 t ) tracks that were driven by two automatic hydraulic pumps , each connected to a Range Rover V8 engine . Gibbs built the tank from steel rather than aluminum or fiberglass because it would allow the realistically suspensionless vehicle to endure the rocky surfaces . Unlike its historical counterpart , which had only the two side guns , the tank had a turret gun added as well . It took four months to build and was transported to Almería on a Short Belfast plane and then a low loader truck . The tank broke down twice . The distributor 's rotor arm broke and a replacement had to be sourced from Madrid . Then two of the device 's valves used to cool the oil exploded , due to solder melting and mixing with the oil . It was very hot in the tank , despite the installation of ten fans , and the lack of suspension meant the driver was unable to stop shaking during filming breaks . The tank only moved at 10 to 12 miles per hour ( 16 to 19 km / h ) , which Vic Armstrong said made it difficult to film Indiana riding a horse against the tank while making it appear faster . A smaller section of the tank 's top made from aluminum and which used rubber tracks was used for close - ups . It was built from a searchlight trailer , weighed eight tons , and was towed by a four - wheel drive truck . It had safety nets on each end to prevent injury to those falling off . A quarter - scale model by Gibbs was driven over a 50 - foot ( 15 m ) cliff on location ; Industrial Light & Magic created further shots of the tank 's destruction with models and miniatures . Michael Lantieri , mechanical effects supervisor for the 1912 scenes , noted the difficulty in shooting the train sequence . `` You ca n't just stop a train , '' he said , `` If it misses its mark , it takes blocks and blocks to stop it and back up . '' Lantieri hid handles for the actors and stuntmen to grab onto when leaping from carriage to carriage . The carriage interiors shot at Universal Studios Hollywood were built on tubes that inflated and deflated to create a rocking motion . For the close - up of the rhinoceros that strikes at ( and misses ) Indiana , a foam and fiberglass animatronic was made in London . When Spielberg decided he wanted it to move , the prop was sent to John Carl Buechler in Los Angeles , who resculpted it over three days to blink , snarl , snort and wiggle its ears . The giraffes were also created in London . Because steam locomotives are very loud , Lantieri 's crew would respond to first assistant director David Tomblin 's radioed directions by making the giraffes nod or shake their heads to his questions , which amused the crew . For the villains ' cars , Lantieri selected a 1914 Ford Model T , a 1919 Ford Model T truck and a 1916 Saxon Model 14 , fitting each with a Ford Pinto V6 engine . Sacks of dust were hung under the cars to create a dustier environment . Spielberg used doves for the seagulls that Henry scares into striking the German plane because the real gulls used in the first take did not fly . In December 1988 , Lucasfilm ordered 1,000 disease - free gray rats for the catacombs scenes from the company that supplied the snakes and bugs for the previous films . Within five months , 5,000 rats had been bred for the sequence ; 1,000 mechanical rats stood in for those that were set on fire . Several thousand snakes of five breeds -- including a boa constrictor -- were used for the train scene , in addition to rubber ones onto which Phoenix could fall . The snakes would slither from their crates , requiring the crew to dig through sawdust after filming to find and return them . Two lions were used , which became nervous because of the rocking motion and flickering lights . Composite photograph of the tank on location Costume designer Anthony Powell found it a challenge to create Connery 's costume because the script required the character to wear the same clothes throughout . Powell thought about his own grandfather and incorporated tweed suits and fishing hats . Powell felt it necessary for Henry to wear glasses , but did not want to hide Connery 's eyes , so chose rimless ones . He could not find any suitable , so he had them specially made . The Nazi costumes were genuine and were found in Eastern Europe by Powell 's co-designer Joanna Johnston , to whom he gave research pictures and drawings for reference . The motorcycles used in the chase from the castle were a mixed bag : the scout model with sidecar in which Indy and Henry escape was an original Dnepr , complete with machine gun pintle on the sidecar , while the pursuing vehicles were more modern machines dressed up with equipment and logos to make them resemble German army models . Gibbs used Swiss Pilatus P - 2 army training planes standing in for Messerschmitt Bf - 109s . He built a device based on an internal combustion engine to simulate gunfire , which was safer and less expensive than firing blanks . Baking soda was applied to Connery to create Henry 's bullet wound . Vinegar was applied to create the foaming effect as the water from the Grail washes it away . At least one reproduction Kubelwagen was used during filming despite the film being set two years prior to manufacture of said vehicles . Effects ( edit ) Industrial Light & Magic ( ILM ) built an eight - foot foam model of the Zeppelin to complement shots of Ford and Connery climbing into the biplane . A biplane model with a two - foot wingspan was used for the shot of the biplane detaching . Stop motion animation was used for the shot of the German fighter 's wings breaking off as it crashes through the tunnel . The tunnel was a 210 feet model that occupied 14 of ILM 's parking spaces for two months . It was built in eight - foot sections , with hinges allowing each section to be opened to film through . Ford and Connery were filmed against bluescreen ; the sequence required their car to have a dirty windscreen , but to make the integration easier this was removed and later composited into the shot . Dust and shadows were animated onto shots of the plane miniature to make it appear as if it disturbed rocks and dirt before it exploded . Several hundred tim - birds were used in the background shots of the seagulls striking the other plane ; for the closer shots , ILM dropped feather - coated crosses onto the camera . These only looked convincing because the scene 's quick cuts merely required shapes that suggested gulls . ILM 's Wes Takahashi supervised the film 's effects sequences . Indiana discovers a bridge hidden by camouflage . Ford was filmed in front of a bluescreen for the scene , which was completed by a model of the bridge filmed against a matte painting Spielberg devised the three trials that guard the Grail . For the first , the blades under which Indiana ducks like a penitent man were a mix of practical and miniature blades created by Gibbs and ILM . For the second trial , in which Indiana spells `` Iehova '' on stable stepping stones , it was intended to have a tarantula crawl up Indiana after he mistakenly steps on `` J '' . This was filmed and deemed unsatisfactory , so ILM filmed a stuntman hanging through a hole that appears in the floor , 30 feet above a cavern . As this was dark , it did not matter that the matte painting and models were rushed late in production . The third trial , the leap of faith that Indiana makes over an apparently impassable ravine after discovering a bridge hidden by forced perspective , was created with a model bridge and painted backgrounds . This was cheaper than building a full - size set . A puppet of Ford was used to create a shadow on the 9 - foot - tall ( 2.7 m ) by 13 - foot - wide ( 4.0 m ) model because Ford had filmed the scene against bluescreen , which did not incorporate the shaft of light from the entrance . Spielberg wanted Donovan 's death shown in one shot , so it would not look like an actor having makeup applied between takes . Inflatable pads were applied to Julian Glover 's forehead and cheeks that made his eyes seem to recede during the character 's initial decomposition , as well as a mechanical wig that grew his hair . The shot of Donovan 's death was created over three months by morphing together three puppets of Donovan in separate stages of decay , a technique ILM mastered on Willow ( 1988 ) . A fourth puppet was used for the decaying clothes , because the puppet 's torso mechanics had been exposed . Complications arose because Alison Doody 's double had not been filmed for the scene 's latter two elements , so the background and hair from the first shot had to be used throughout , with the other faces mapped over it . Donovan 's skeleton was hung on wires like a marionette ; it required several takes to film it crashing against the wall because not all the pieces released upon impact . Ben Burtt designed the sound effects . He recorded chickens for the sounds of the rats , and digitally manipulated the noise made by a Styrofoam cup for the castle fire . He rode in a biplane to record the sounds for the dogfight sequence , and visited the demolition of a wind turbine for the plane crashes . Burtt wanted an echoing gunshot for Donovan wounding Henry , so he fired a . 357 Magnum in Skywalker Ranch 's underground car park , just as Lucas drove in . A rubber balloon was used for the earthquake tremors at the temple . The film was released in selected theaters in the 70 mm Full - Field Sound format , which allowed sounds to not only move from side to side , but also from the theater 's front to its rear . Matte paintings of the Austrian castle and German airport were based on real buildings ; the Austrian castle was a small West German castle that was made to look larger . Rain was created by filming granulated Borax soap against black at high speed . It was only lightly double exposed into the shots so it would not resemble snow . The lightning was animated . The airport used was at San Francisco 's Treasure Island , which already had appropriate art deco architecture . ILM added a control tower , Nazi banners , vintage automobiles and a sign stating `` Berlin Flughafen '' . The establishing shot of the Hatayan city at dusk was created by filming silhouetted cutouts that were backlit and obscured by smoke . Matte paintings were used for the sky and to give the appearance of fill light in the shadows and rim light on the edges of the buildings . Themes ( edit ) A son 's relationship with his estranged father is a common theme in Spielberg 's films , including E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Hook . The film 's exploration of fathers and sons coupled with its use of religious imagery is comparable to two other 1989 films , Star Trek V : The Final Frontier and Field of Dreams . Writing for The New York Times , Caryn James felt the combination in these films reflected New Age concerns , where the worship of God was equated to searching for fathers . James felt that neither Indiana or his father is preoccupied with finding the Grail or defeating the evil Nazis , but that , rather , both seek professional respect for one another in their boys ' own adventure . James contrasted the temple 's biblically epic destruction with the more effective and quiet conversation between the Joneses at the film 's end . James noted that Indiana 's mother does not appear in the prologue , being portrayed as already having died before the film 's events began . Cultural references ( edit ) The 1912 prologue refers to events in the lives of Indiana 's creators . When Indiana cracks the bullwhip to defend himself against a lion , he accidentally lashes and scars his chin . Ford gained this scar in a car accident as a young man . Indiana taking his nickname from his pet Alaskan Malamute is a reference to the character being named after Lucas 's dog . The train carriage Indiana enters is named `` Doctor Fantasy 's Magic Caboose '' , which was the name producer Frank Marshall used when performing magic tricks . Spielberg suggested the idea , Marshall came up with the false - bottomed box through which Indiana escapes , and production designer Elliott Scott suggested the trick be done in a single , uninterrupted shot . Spielberg intended the shot of Henry with his umbrella -- after he causes the bird strike on the German plane -- to evoke Ryan 's Daughter . Release ( edit ) Marketing ( edit ) See also : Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ( soundtrack ) The film 's teaser trailer debuted in November 1988 with Scrooged and The Naked Gun . Rob MacGregor wrote the tie - in novelization that was released in June 1989 ; it sold enough copies to be included on the New York Times Best Seller list . MacGregor went on to write the first six Indiana Jones prequel novels during the 1990s . Following the film 's release , Ford donated Indiana 's fedora and jacket to the Smithsonian Institution 's National Museum of American History . No toys were made to promote the film ; Indiana Jones `` never happened on the toy level '' , said Larry Carlat , senior editor of the journal Children 's Business . Rather , Lucasfilm promoted Indiana as a lifestyle symbol , selling tie - in fedoras , shirts , jackets and watches . Two video games based on the film were released by LucasArts in 1989 : Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade : The Graphic Adventure and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade : The Action Game . A third game was produced by Taito and released in 1991 for the Nintendo Entertainment System . Ryder Windham wrote another novelization , released in April 2008 by Scholastic , to coincide with the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull . Hasbro released toys based on The Last Crusade in July 2008 . Box Office ( edit ) The film was released in North America on May 24 , 1989 , in 2,327 theaters , earning $29,355,021 in its opening weekend . This was the third - highest opening weekend of 1989 , behind Ghostbusters II and Batman . Its opening day gross of $11,181,429 was the first time a film had made over $10 million on its first day . It broke the record for the best six - day performance , with almost $47 million , added another record with $77 million after twelve days , and $100 million in nineteen days . It grossed $195.7 million by the end of the year and $475 million worldwide by March 1990 . In France , the film broke a record by selling a million admissions within two and a half weeks . The film eventually grossed $197,171,806 in North America and $277 million internationally , for a worldwide total of $474,171,806 . At the time of its release , the film was the 11th highest - grossing film of all time . Despite competition from Batman , The Last Crusade became the highest - grossing film worldwide in 1989 . In North America , Batman took top position . Behind Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Raiders , The Last Crusade is the third - highest grossing Indiana Jones film in North America , though it is also behind Temple of Doom when adjusting for inflation . Box Office Mojo estimates that the film sold over 49 million tickets in North America . Critical response ( edit ) The film opened to mostly positive reviews . It was panned by Andrew Sarris in The New York Observer , David Denby in New York magazine , Stanley Kauffmann in The New Republic and Georgia Brown in The Village Voice . Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader called the film `` soulless '' . The Washington Post reviewed the film twice ; Hal Hinson 's review on the day of the film 's release was negative , describing it as `` nearly all chases and dull exposition '' . Although he praised Ford and Connery , he felt the film 's exploration of Indiana 's character took away his mystery and that Spielberg should not have tried to mature his storytelling . Two days later , Desson Thomson published a positive review praising the film 's adventure and action , as well as the father -- son relationship 's thematic depth . Joseph McBride of Variety observed the `` Cartoonlike Nazi villains of Raiders have been replaced by more genuinely frightening Nazis led by Julian Glover and Michael Byrne , '' and found the moment where Indiana meets Hitler `` chilling '' . In his biography of Spielberg , McBride added the film was less `` racist '' than its predecessors . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said the film was `` the wildest and wittiest Indy of them all '' . Richard Corliss of Time and David Ansen of Newsweek praised it , as did Vincent Canby of The New York Times . `` Though it seems to have the manner of some magically reconstituted B - movie of an earlier era , The Last Crusade is an endearing original , '' Canby wrote , deeming the revelation Indiana had a father he was not proud of to be a `` comic surprise '' . Canby believed that while the film did not match the previous two in its pacing , it still had `` hilariously off - the - wall sequences '' such as the circus train chase . He also said that Spielberg was maturing by focusing on the father -- son relationship , a call echoed by McBride in Variety . Roger Ebert praised the scene depicting Indiana as a Boy Scout with the Cross of Coronado ; he compared it to the `` style of illustration that appeared in the boys ' adventure magazines of the 1940s '' , saying that Spielberg `` must have been paging through his old issues of Boys ' Life magazine ... the feeling that you can stumble over astounding adventures just by going on a hike with your Scout troop . Spielberg lights the scene in the strong , basic colors of old pulp magazines . '' The Hollywood Reporter felt Connery and Ford deserved Academy Award nominations . The film was evaluated positively after its release . Internet reviewer James Berardinelli wrote that while the film did not reach the heights of Raiders of the Lost Ark , it `` ( avoided ) the lows of The Temple of Doom . A fitting end to the original trilogy , Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade captures some of the sense of fun that infused the first movie while using the addition of Sean Connery to up the comedic ante and provide a father / son dynamic . '' Neil Smith of the BBC praised the action , but said the drama and comedy between the Joneses was more memorable . He noted , `` The emphasis on the Jones boys means Julian Glover 's venal villain and Alison Doody 's treacherous beauty are sidelined , while the climax ( becomes ) one booby - trapped tomb too many . '' Based on 55 reviews listed by Rotten Tomatoes , 88 % of critics praised the film , giving it an average score of 8 / 10 . Metacritic calculated an average rating of 65 / 100 , based on 14 reviews . Influence ( edit ) Sean Connery received Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations for his performance The film won the Academy Award for Best Sound Editing ; it also received nominations for Best Original Score and Best Sound ( Ben Burtt , Gary Summers , Shawn Murphy and Tony Dawe ) , but lost to The Little Mermaid and Glory respectively . Sean Connery received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor . Connery and the visual and sound effects teams were also nominated at the 43rd British Academy Film Awards . The film won the 1990 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation , and was nominated for Best Motion Picture Drama at the Young Artist Awards . John Williams ' score won a BMI Award , and was nominated for a Grammy Award . The prologue depicting Indiana in his youth inspired Lucas to create The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles television series , which featured Sean Patrick Flanery as the young adult Indiana and Corey Carrier as the 8 - to 10 - year - old Indiana . The 13 - year - old incarnation played by Phoenix in the film was the focus of a Young Indiana Jones series of young adult novels that began in 1990 ; by the ninth novel , the series had become a tie - in to the television show . German author Wolfgang Hohlbein revisited the 1912 prologue in one of his novels , in which Indiana encounters the lead grave robber -- whom Hohlbein christens Jake -- in 1943 . The film 's ending begins the 1995 comic series Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny , which moves forward to depict Indiana and his father searching for the Holy Lance in Ireland in 1945 . Spielberg intended to have Connery cameo as Henry in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ( 2008 ) , but Connery turned it down as he had retired . Shops using imagery from this film and the fourth film to promote themselves outside the entrance to Petra Petra 's use for the movie 's climactic scenes greatly contributed to its popularity as an international tourist destination . Before the film 's release , only a few thousand visitors per year made the trip ; since then it has grown to almost a million annually . Shops and hotels near the site play up the connection , and it is mentioned prominently in itineraries of locations used in the film series . Jordan 's tourism board mentions the connection on its website . In 2012 the satirical news site The Pan-Arabia Enquirer ran a mock story claiming that the board had officially renamed Petra `` That Place from Indiana Jones '' to reflect how the world more commonly refers to it .

It consists of the Army , Marine Corps , Navy , Air Force , and Coast Guard . The President of the United States is the Commander - in - Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces and forms military policy with the U.S. Department of Defense ( DoD ) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) , both federal executive departments , acting as the principal organs by which military policy is carried out . All five armed services are among the seven uniformed services of the United States . From the time of its inception , the U.S. Armed Forces played a decisive role in the history of the United States . A sense of national unity and identity was forged as a result of victory in the First Barbary War and the Second Barbary War . Even so , the founders of the United States were suspicious of a permanent military force . It played a critical role in the American Civil War , continuing to serve as the armed forces of the United States , although a number of its officers resigned to join the military of the Confederate States . The National Security Act of 1947 , adopted following World War II and during the Cold War 's onset , created the modern U.S. military framework . The Act merged the previously Cabinet - level Department of War and the Department of the Navy into the National Military Establishment ( renamed the Department of Defense in 1949 ) , headed by the Secretary of Defense ; and created the Department of the Air Force and the National Security Council . The U.S. Armed Forces are one of the largest militaries in terms of the number of personnel . It draws its personnel from a large pool of paid volunteers . Although conscription has been used in the past in various times of both war and peace , it has not been used since 1972 , but the Selective Service System retains the power to conscript males , and requires that all male citizens and residents residing in the U.S. between the ages of 18 -- 25 register with the service . As of 2017 , the U.S. spends about US $610 billion annually to fund its military forces and Overseas Contingency Operations . Put together , the U.S. constitutes roughly 40 percent of the world 's military expenditures . The U.S. Armed Forces has significant capabilities in both defense and power projection due to its large budget , resulting in advanced and powerful technologies which enables a widespread deployment of the force around the world , including around 800 military bases outside the United States . The U.S. Air Force is the world 's largest air force , the U.S. Navy is the world 's largest navy by tonnage , and the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps combined are the world 's second largest air arm .

The Continental Navy , established on 13 October 1775 , and Continental Marines , established on 10 November 1775 , were created in close succession by the Second Continental Congress in order to defend the new nation against the British Empire in the American Revolutionary War . These forces demobilized in 1784 after the Treaty of Paris ended the War for Independence . The Congress of the Confederation created the current United States Army on 3 June 1784 . The United States Congress created the current United States Navy on 27 March 1794 and the current United States Marine Corps on 11 July 1798 . All three services trace their origins to their respective Continental predecessors . The 1787 adoption of the Constitution gave the Congress the power to `` raise and support armies '' , to `` provide and maintain a navy '' and to `` make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces '' , as well as the power to declare war . The President is the U.S. Armed Forces ' commander - in - chief . The United States Coast Guard traces its origin to the founding of the Revenue Cutter Service on 4 August 1790 which merged with the United States Life - Saving Service on 28 January 1915 to establish the Coast Guard . The United States Air Force was established as an independent service on 18 September 1947 ; it traces its origin to the formation of the Aeronautical Division , U.S. Signal Corps , which was formed 1 August 1907 and was part of the Army Air Forces before becoming an independent service as per the National Security Act of 1947 . Command structure ( edit ) Main article : Organizational structure of the United States Department of Defense Structure of the National Command Authority Command over the U.S. Armed Forces is established in the Constitution . The sole power of command is vested in the President by Article II as Commander - in - Chief . The Constitution also allows for the creation of `` executive Departments '' headed by `` principal officers '' whose opinion the President can require . This allowance in the Constitution formed the basis for creation of the Department of Defense in 1947 by the National Security Act . The DoD is headed by the Secretary of Defense , who is a civilian and member of the Cabinet . The Defense Secretary is second in the U.S. Armed Forces chain of command , with the exception of the Coast Guard , which is under the Secretary of Homeland Security , and is just below the President and serves as the principal assistant to the President in all defense - related matters . Together , the President and the Secretary of Defense comprise the National Command Authority , which by law is the ultimate lawful source of military orders . To coordinate military strategy with political affairs , the President has a National Security Council headed by the National Security Advisor . The collective body has only advisory power to the President , but several of the members who statutorily comprise the council ( the Secretary of State , the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of Defense ) possess executive authority over their own departments . Just as the President , the Secretary of Defense , and the Secretary of Homeland Security , are in charge of the entire military establishment , maintaining civilian control of the military , so too are each of the Defense Department 's constitutive military departments headed by civilians . The four DoD branches are organized into three departments , each with civilian heads . The Department of the Army is headed by the Secretary of the Army , the Department of the Navy is headed by the Secretary of the Navy and the Department of the Air Force is headed by the Secretary of the Air Force . The Marine Corps is organized under the Department of the Navy , however it is still considered a separate and equal service . The Coast Guard is under the Department of Homeland Security and receives its operational orders from the Secretary of Homeland Security . However , the Coast Guard may be transferred to the Department of the Navy by the President or Congress during a time of war , thereby placing it within the DoD . The President , Secretary of Defense and other senior executive officials are advised by a seven - member Joint Chiefs of Staff , which is headed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , the highest - ranking officer in the United States military and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff . The rest of the body is composed of the heads of each of the DoD 's service branches ( the Chief of Staff of the Army , the Chief of Naval Operations , the Commandant of the Marine Corps and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force ) as well as the Chief of the National Guard Bureau . Although commanding one of the five military branches , the Commandant of the Coast Guard is not a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff . Despite being composed of the highest - ranking officers in each of the respective branches , the Joint Chiefs of Staff does not possess operational command authority . Rather , the Goldwater - Nichols Act charges them only with advisory power . All of the branches work together during operations and joint missions in Unified Combatant Commands , under the authority of the Secretary of Defense with the typical exception of the Coast Guard . Each of the Unified Combatant Commands is headed by a Combatant Commander , a senior commissioned officer who exercises supreme command authority per 10 U.S.C. § 164 over all of the forces , regardless of branch , within his geographical or functional command . By statute , the chain of command flows from the President to the Secretary of Defense to each of the Combatant Commanders . In practice , the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff often acts as an intermediary between the Secretary of Defense and the Combatant Commanders . Budget ( edit ) Main article : Military budget of the United States U.S. military spending from 1910 to 2007 , adjusted for inflation to 2003 dollars ; the large spike represents World War II spending . American defense spending by GDP percentage 1910 to 2007 The United States has the world 's largest military budget . In the fiscal year 2016 , $580.3 billion in funding were enacted for the DoD and for `` Overseas Contingency Operations '' in the War on Terrorism . Outside of direct DoD spending , the United States spends another $218 to $262 billion each year on other defense - related programs , such as Veterans Affairs , Homeland Security , nuclear weapons maintenance and DoD . By military department , $146.9 billion was allocated for the Department of the Army , $168.8 billion for the Department of the Navy , $161.8 billion for the Department of the Air Force and $102.8 billion for DoD - wide spending . By function , $138.6 billion was requested for personnel , $244.4 billion for operations and maintenance , $118.9 billion for procurement , $69.0 billion for research and development , $1.3 billion for revolving and management funds , $6.9 billion for military construction and $1.3 billion for family housing . Personnel ( edit ) Active duty U.S. military personnel from 1950 to 2003 ; the two peaks correspond to the Korean War and the Vietnam War . The projected active duty end strength in the armed forces for fiscal year 2017 was 1,281,900 servicemembers , with an additional 801,200 people in the seven reserve components . It is an all - volunteer military , but conscription through the Selective Service System can be enacted at the President 's request and Congress ' approval . All males ages 18 through 25 who are living in the United States are required to register with the Selective Service for a potential future draft . The U.S. Armed Forces is the world 's third largest military , after the Chinese 's People 's Liberation Army and the Indian Armed Forces , and has troops deployed around the globe . As in most militaries , members of the U.S. Armed Forces hold a rank , either that of officer , warrant officer or enlisted , to determine seniority and eligibility for promotion . Those who have served are known as veterans . Rank names may be different between services , but they are matched to each other by their corresponding paygrade . Officers who hold the same rank or paygrade are distinguished by their date of rank to determine seniority , while officers who serve in certain positions of office of importance set by law , outrank all other officers in active duty of the same rank and paygrade , regardless of their date of rank . Currently , only one in four persons in the United States of the proper age meet the moral , academic and physical standards for military service .

Some of the largest deployments are : 103,700 in Afghanistan , 52,440 in Germany ( see list ) , 35,688 in Japan ( USFJ ) , 28,500 in South Korea ( USFK ) , 9,660 in Italy and 9,015 in the United Kingdom . These numbers change frequently due to the regular recall and deployment of units . U.S. global military presence Altogether , 77,917 military personnel are located in Europe , 141 in the former Soviet Union , 47,236 in East Asia and the Pacific , 3,362 in North Africa , the Near East and South Asia , 1,355 in sub-Saharan Africa and 1,941 in the Western Hemisphere excluding the United States itself . Domestic ( edit ) Including U.S. territories and ships afloat within territorial waters As of 31 December 2009 , a total of 1,137,568 personnel were on active duty within the United States and its territories ( including 84,461 afloat ) . The vast majority ( 941,629 personnel ) were stationed at bases within the contiguous United States . There were an additional 37,245 in Hawaii and 20,450 in Alaska while 84,461 were at sea , 2,972 in Guam and 179 in Puerto Rico . Types of personnel ( edit ) Enlisted ( edit ) Service members of the U.S. Armed Forces at an American football event : ( left to right ) U.S. Marine Corps , U.S. Air Force , U.S. Navy and U.S. Army personnel Prospective service members are often recruited from high school or college , the target age ranges being 18 -- 35 in the Army , 18 -- 28 in the Marine Corps , 18 -- 34 in the Navy , 18 -- 39 in the Air Force and 18 -- 27 ( up to age 32 if qualified for attending guaranteed `` A '' school ) in the Coast Guard . With the permission of a parent or guardian , applicants can enlist at age 17 and participate in the Delayed Entry Program ( DEP ) , in which the applicant is given the opportunity to participate in locally sponsored military activities , which can range from sports to competitions led by recruiters or other military liaisons ( each recruiting station 's DEP varies ) . After enlistment , new recruits undergo basic training ( also known as `` boot camp '' in the Marine Corps , Navy and Coast Guard ) , followed by schooling in their primary Military Occupational Specialty ( MOS ) , rating and Air Force Specialty Code ( AFSC ) at any of the numerous training facilities around the United States . Each branch conducts basic training differently . The Marine Corps send all non-infantry MOS 's to an infantry skills course known as Marine Combat Training prior to their technical schools . Air Force Basic Military Training graduates attend Technical Training and are awarded their Air Force Specialty Code ( AFSC ) at the apprentice ( 3 ) skill level . All Army recruits undergo Basic Combat Training ( BCT ) , followed by Advanced Individual Training ( AIT ) , with the exceptions of cavalry scouts , infantry , armor , combat engineers and military police recruits who go to One Station Unit Training ( OSUT ) , which combines BCT and AIT . The Navy sends its recruits to Recruit Training and then to `` A '' schools to earn a rating . The Coast Guard 's recruits attend basic training and follow with an `` A '' school to earn a rating . Initially , recruits without higher education or college degrees will hold the pay grade of E-1 and will be elevated to E-2 usually soon after basic training . Different services have different incentive programs for enlistees , such as higher initial ranks for college credit , being an Eagle Scout and referring friends who go on to enlist as well . Participation in DEP is one way recruits can achieve rank before their departure to basic training . There are several different authorized pay grade advancement requirements in each junior - enlisted rank category ( E-1 to E-3 ) , which differ by service . Enlistees in the Army can attain the initial pay grade of E-4 ( specialist ) with a four - year degree , but the highest initial pay grade is usually E-3 ( members of the Army Band program can expect to enter service at the grade of E-4 ) . Promotion through the junior enlisted ranks occurs after serving for a specified number of years ( which can be waived by the soldier 's chain of command ) , a specified level of technical proficiency or maintenance of good conduct . Promotion can be denied with reason . Non-commissioned and petty officers ( edit ) With very few exceptions , becoming a non-commissioned officer ( NCO ) or petty officer in the U.S. Armed Forces is accomplished by progression through the lower enlisted ranks . However , unlike promotion through the lower enlisted tier , promotion to NCO is generally competitive . NCO ranks begin at E-4 or E-5 , depending upon service and are generally attained between three and six years of service . Junior NCOs function as first - line supervisors and squad leaders , training the junior enlisted in their duties and guiding their career advancement . While considered part of the non-commissioned officer corps by law , senior non-commissioned officers ( SNCOs ) referred to as chief petty officers in the Navy and Coast Guard , or staff non-commissioned officers in the Marine Corps , perform duties more focused on leadership rather than technical expertise . Promotion to the SNCO ranks , E-7 through E-9 ( E-6 through E-9 in the Marine Corps ) is highly competitive . Personnel totals at the pay grades of E-8 and E-9 are limited by federal law to 2.5 percent and 1 percent of a service 's enlisted force , respectively . SNCOs act as leaders of small units and as staff . Some SNCOs manage programs at headquarters level and a select few wield responsibility at the highest levels of the military structure . Most unit commanders have a SNCO as an enlisted advisor . All SNCOs are expected to mentor junior commissioned officers as well as the enlisted in their duty sections . The typical enlistee can expect to attain SNCO rank after 10 to 16 years of service . Each of the five services employs a single Senior Enlisted Advisor at departmental level . This individual is the highest ranking enlisted member within that respective service and functions as the chief advisor to the service secretary , service chief and Congress on matters concerning the enlisted force . These individuals carry responsibilities and protocol requirements equivalent to three - star general or flag officers . They are as follows : Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman Sergeant Major of the Army Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard Warrant officers ( edit ) Additionally , all services except for the Air Force have an active warrant officer corps . Above the rank of warrant Officer One , these officers may also be commissioned , but usually serve in a more technical and specialized role within units . More recently , they can also serve in more traditional leadership roles associated with the more recognizable officer corps . With one notable exception ( Army helicopter and fixed - wing pilots ) , these officers ordinarily have already been in the military often serving in senior NCO positions in the field in which they later serve as a warrant officer as a technical expert . Most Army pilots have served some enlisted time . It is also possible to enlist , complete basic training , go directly to the Warrant Officer Candidate School at Fort Rucker , Alabama and then on to flight school . Warrant officers in the U.S. military garner the same customs and courtesies as commissioned officers . They may attend the officer 's club , receive a command and are saluted by junior warrant officers and all enlisted service members . The Air Force ceased to grant warrants in 1959 when the enlisted grades of E-8 and E-9 were created . Most non-flying duties performed by warrant officers in other services are instead performed by senior NCOs in the Air Force . Commissioned officers ( edit ) Officers receive a commission in one of the branches of the U.S. Armed Forces through one of the following routes . Service academies ( United States Military Academy ( Army ) , United States Naval Academy , United States Air Force Academy , United States Coast Guard Academy and the United States Merchant Marine Academy ) Reserve Officers ' Training Corps ( ROTC ) Officer Candidate School ( OCS ) ( Officer Training School ( OTS ) in the Air Force ) : this can be through active - duty schools , or through state - run schools in the case of the Army National Guard . Direct commission : civilians who have special skills that are critical to sustaining military operations and supporting troops may receive direct commissions . These officers occupy leadership positions in law , medicine , dentistry , pharmacy , intelligence , supply - logistics - transportation , engineering , public affairs , chaplain , oceanography and others . Battlefield commission : under certain conditions , enlisted personnel who have skills that separate them from their peers can become officers by direct commissioning of a commander so authorized to grant them . This type of commission is rarely granted and is reserved only for the most exceptional enlisted personnel ; it is done on an ad hoc basis , typically only in wartime . No direct battlefield commissions have been awarded since the Vietnam War . The Navy and Air Force do not employ this commissioning path . Limited Duty Officer : due to the highly technical nature of some officer billet s , the Marine Corps , Navy and Coast Guard employ a system of promoting proven senior enlisted members to the ranks of commissioned officers . They fill a need that is similar to , but distinct from that filled by warrant officers ( to the point where their accession is through the same school ) . While warrant officers remain technical experts , LDOs take on the role of a generalist , like that of officers commissioned through more traditional sources . LDOs are limited , not by their authority , but by the types of billets they are allowed to fill . However , in recent times they have come to be used more and more like their more - traditional counterparts . Officers receive a commission assigning them to the officer corps from the President with the Senate 's consent . To accept this commission , all officers must take an oath of office . Through their careers , officers usually will receive further training at one or a number of the many staff colleges . Company grade officers in pay grades O - 1 through O - 3 ( known as `` junior '' officers in the Navy and Coast Guard ) function as leaders of smaller units or sections of a unit , typically with an experienced SNCO ( or CPO in the Navy and Coast Guard ) assistant and mentor . Field grade officers in pay grades O - 4 through O - 6 ( known as `` senior '' officers in the Navy and Coast Guard ) lead significantly larger and more complex operations , with gradually more competitive promotion requirements . General officers , ( known as flag officers in the Navy and Coast Guard ) serve at the highest levels and oversee major portions of the military mission . Five - star ranking ( edit ) Main article : Five - star rank These are ranks of the highest honor and responsibility in the U.S. Armed Forces , but they are almost never given during peacetime and only a very small number of officers during wartime have held a five - star rank : General of the Army Fleet Admiral General of the Air Force No corresponding rank exists for the Marine Corps or the Coast Guard . As with three - and four - star ranks , Congress is the approving authority for a five - star rank confirmation . The rank of General of the Armies is considered senior to General of the Army , but was never held by active duty officers at the same time as persons who held the rank of General of the Army . It has been held by two people : John J. Pershing who received the rank in 1919 after World War I and George Washington who received it posthumously in 1976 as part of the American Bicentennial celebrations . Pershing , appointed to General of the Armies in active duty status for life , was still alive at the time of the first five - star appointments during World War II and was thereby acknowledged as superior in grade by seniority to any World War II -- era Generals of the Army . George Washington 's appointment by Public Law 94 - 479 to General of the Armies of the United States was established by law as having `` rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army , past or present '' , making him not only superior to Pershing , but superior to any grade in the Army in perpetuity . In the Navy , the rank of Admiral of the Navy theoretically corresponds to that of General of the Armies , though it was never held by active - duty officers at the same time as persons who held the rank of Fleet Admiral . George Dewey is the only person to have ever held this rank . After the establishment of the rank of Fleet Admiral in 1944 , the Department of the Navy specified that the rank of Fleet Admiral was to be junior to the rank of Admiral of the Navy . However , since Dewey died in 1917 before the establishment of the rank of Fleet Admiral , the six - star rank has not been totally confirmed . Women in the military ( edit ) From 2005 , the first all female C - 130 Hercules crew to fly a combat mission for the U.S. Air Force The Woman 's Army Auxiliary Corps was established in the United States in 1942 . Women saw combat during World War II , first as nurses in the Pearl Harbor attacks on 7 December 1941 . The Woman 's Naval Reserve , Marine Corps Women 's Reserve and Women Airforce Service Pilots ( WASPs ) were also created during this conflict . In 1944 , WACs arrived in the Pacific and landed in Normandy on D - Day . During the war , 67 Army nurses and 16 Navy nurses were captured and spent three years as Japanese prisoners of war . There were 350,000 American women who served during World War II and 16 were killed in action . In total , they gained over 1,500 medals , citations and commendations . Virginia Hall , serving with the Office of Strategic Services , received the second - highest U.S. combat award , the Distinguished Service Cross , for action behind enemy lines in France . After World War II , demobilization led to the vast majority of serving women being returned to civilian life . Law 625 , The Women 's Armed Services Act of 1948 , was signed by President Truman , allowing women to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces in fully integrated units during peace time , with only the WAC remaining a separate female unit . During the Korean War of 1950 -- 1953 , many women served in the Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals , with women serving in Korea numbering 120,000 during the conflict . During the Vietnam War , 600 women served in the country as part of the Air Force , along with 500 members of the WAC and over 6,000 medical personnel and support staff . The Ordnance Corps began accepting female missile technicians in 1974 and female crewmembers and officers were accepted into Field Artillery missile units . Sergeant Leigh Ann Hester , awarded the Silver Star for direct combat In 1974 , the first six women naval aviators earned their wings as Navy pilots . The Congressionally mandated prohibition on women in combat places limitations on the pilots ' advancement , but at least two retired as captains . In 1989 , Captain Linda L. Bray , 29 , became the first woman to command American soldiers in battle during the invasion of Panama . The 1991 Gulf War proved to be the pivotal time for the role of women in the U.S. Armed Forces to come to the attention of the world media ; there are many reports of women engaging enemy forces during the conflict . In the 2000s , women can serve on U.S. combat ships , including in command roles . They are permitted to serve on submarines . Women can fly military aircraft and make up 2 % of all pilots in the U.S. Military . In 2003 , Major Kim Campbell was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for landing her combat damaged A-10 Thunderbolt II with no hydraulic control and only one functional engine after being struck by hostile fire over Baghdad . On 3 December 2015 , U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter announced that all military combat jobs would become available to women . This gave women access to the roughly 10 % of military jobs which were previously closed off due to their combat nature . The decision gave military services until January 2016 to seek exceptions to the rule if they believe that certain jobs , such as machine gunners , should be restricted to men only . These restrictions were due in part to prior studies which stated that mixed gender units are less capable in combat . Physical requirements for all jobs remained unchanged , though . Many women believe this will allow for them to improve their positions in the military , since most high - ranking officers start in combat positions . Since women are now available to work in any position in the military , female entry into the draft has been proposed . Sergeant Leigh Ann Hester became the first woman to receive the Silver Star , the third - highest U.S. decoration for valor , for direct participation in combat . In Afghanistan , Monica Lin Brown was presented the Silver Star for shielding wounded soldiers with her body . In March 2012 , the U.S. military had two women , Ann E. Dunwoody and Janet C. Wolfenbarger , with the rank of four - star general . In 2016 , Air Force General Lori Robinson became the first female officer to command a major Unified Combatant Command ( USNORTHCOM ) in the history of the United States Armed Forces . Despite concerns of a gender gap , all personnel both men and women at the same rank and time of service are compensated the same rate across all branches . A study conducted by the RAND Corporation also suggests that women who make the military their career see an improved rate of promotion , as they climb through the military ranks at a faster rate . Order of precedence ( edit ) Under current Department of Defense regulation , the various components of the U.S. Armed Forces have a set order of seniority . Examples of the use of this system include the display of service flags , placement of Soldiers , Marines , Sailors , Airmen and Coast Guardsmen in formation , etc . When the Coast Guard shall operate as part of the Department of the Navy , United States Coast Guard Academy cadets , the United States Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Reserve shall take precedence after United States Naval Academy midshipmen ; the United States Navy ; and Navy Reserve , respectively . Cadets , U.S. Military Academy Midshipmen , U.S. Naval Academy Cadets , U.S. Coast Guard Academy ( when part of the Department of the Navy ) Cadets , U.S. Air Force Academy Cadets , U.S. Coast Guard Academy ( when part of the Department of Homeland Security ) Midshipmen , U.S. Merchant Marine Academy United States Army United States Marine Corps United States Navy United States Coast Guard ( when part of the Department of the Navy ) United States Air Force United States Coast Guard ( when part of Department of the Homeland Security ) Army National Guard of the United States United States Army Reserve United States Marine Corps Reserve United States Navy Reserve United States Coast Guard Reserve ( when part of the Department of the Navy ) Air National Guard of the United States United States Air Force Reserve United States Coast Guard Reserve ( when part of the Department of Homeland Security ) Other training and auxiliary organizations of the Army , Marine Corps , Merchant Marine , Civil Air Patrol and Coast Guard Auxiliary , as in the preceding order . The CAP was constituted through the Administrative Order 9 of 1 December 1941 and operated under the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II . The CAP became the official civilian auxiliary of the newly independent USAF with the enactment of Public Law 80 - 557 on 26 May 1948 . Note : While the U.S. Navy is older than the Marine Corps , the Marine Corps takes precedence due to previous inconsistencies in the Navy 's birth date . The Marine Corps has recognized its observed birth date on a more consistent basis . The Second Continental Congress is considered to have established the Navy on 13 October 1775 by authorizing the purchase of ships , but did not actually pass the `` Rules for the Regulation of the Navy of the United Colonies '' until 27 November 1775 . The Marine Corps was established by act of said Congress on 10 November 1775 . The Navy did not officially recognize 13 October 1775 as its birth date until 1972 , when then -- Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo Zumwalt authorized it to be observed as such .

It is the first series developed specifically for that service , and the first Star Trek series since Star Trek : Enterprise concluded in 2005 . Set roughly a decade before the events of the original Star Trek series and separate from the timeline of the concurrently produced feature films , Discovery explores the Federation -- Klingon war while following the crew of the USS Discovery . Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts serve as showrunners on the series , with producing support from Akiva Goldsman . Sonequa Martin - Green stars as Michael Burnham , the first officer of the USS Shenzhou and later the USS Discovery . Doug Jones , Shazad Latif , Anthony Rapp , Mary Wiseman , and Jason Isaacs also star . The new series was announced in November 2015 , with Fuller joining as showrunner and wanting to make an anthology series . CBS asked him to make a single , serialized show first , with the prequel to the original series idea further developed . After further disagreements with CBS and struggles with other commitments , Fuller left the series in October 2016 , replaced as showrunner by Berg and Harberts . Star Trek : Discovery premiered on September 19 , 2017 , at ArcLight Hollywood , before debuting on CBS and All Access on September 24 . The rest of the 15 - episode first season are streaming weekly on All Access . The series ' release led to record subscriptions for All Access , and positive reviews from critics who highlighted Martin - Green 's performance . A second season was ordered in October 2017 .

Cast and characters ( edit ) Main article : List of Star Trek : Discovery characters Sonequa Martin - Green as Michael Burnham : First officer of the USS Shenzhou , referred to as `` Number One '' to honor the character of the same name portrayed by Majel Barrett in the original Star Trek pilot `` The Cage '' . She was initially pitched to CBS as only being called Number One in the series . Burnham is a human who was raised following Vulcan culture and traditions by Sarek , and was not made a starship captain , like the protagonists of previous Star Trek series , `` to see a character from a different perspective on the starship -- one who has different dynamic relationships with a captain , with subordinates , it gave us richer context '' . Fuller deliberately gave the character a traditionally male name , which he had done with the female leads of his previous series . Doug Jones as Saru : A Science Officer serving as a Lieutenant Commander aboard the Discovery , and the first Kelpien to enter Starfleet . Kelpiens , a new species created for Discovery , were hunted as prey on their home planet and thus evolved the ability to sense the coming of death . They have a reputation for cowardice . Jones based Saru 's walk on that of a supermodel , out of necessity thanks to the boots he had to wear to portray the character 's hooved feet forcing Jones to walk on the balls of his feet . The producers compared Saru to the characters Spock and Data from previous series . Shazad Latif as Ash Tyler : A Starfleet lieutenant and former prisoner of war . Latif was originally cast in the role of Kol . Latif noted that Tyler 's PTSD would be explored in the show as he attempts to return to his Starfleet life , calling Tyler `` a very complex and painful and deep character . '' The character explores these issues with different characters , including Lorca due to their shared military background , and Burnham with whom `` there 's a chemistry , a relationship '' . Anthony Rapp as Paul Stamets : A science officer specializing in astromycology ( the study of fungi in space ) . The character is inspired by a real - life mycologist of the same name . He is the first openly gay character in a Star Trek series , and the showrunners `` wanted to roll out that character 's sexuality the way people would roll out their sexuality in life . '' Rapp noted that Hikaru Sulu was portrayed as gay in the film Star Trek Beyond , calling that `` a nice nod . But in this case , we actually get to see me with my partner in conversation , in our living quarters , you get to see our relationship over time , treated as any other relationship would be treated '' . Mary Wiseman as Sylvia Tilly : A cadet in her final year at Starfleet Academy , assigned to the Discovery . She works under Stamets aboard the Discovery , where she becomes roommates with Burnham . The character was included to represent people `` at the very bottom of this ladder '' of the Starfleet hierarchy . She is `` the most optimistic ... has the biggest heart '' , and showrunner Aaron Harberts described her as `` sort of the soul of our show . '' Jason Isaacs as Gabriel Lorca : Captain of the Discovery , a `` brilliant military tactician '' . Isaacs described the character as `` probably more f-d up than any of '' the previously seen Star Trek captains . He plays the character with a slight southern U.S. accent , and had initially wanted to ad - lib a catchphrase for the character feeling that all Star Trek captains should have one , coming up with `` git'r done '' which the writers turned down due to it being widely used and copyrighted by Larry the Cable Guy .

Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) On November 2 , 2015 , CBS announced a new Star Trek television series to premiere in January 2017 , `` on the heels '' of the original series ' 50th anniversary in 2016 . It is the first Star Trek series since Star Trek : Enterprise concluded in 2005 , and the first show to be developed specifically for the CBS All Access on demand service . Alex Kurtzman , co-writer of the films Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness , and Heather Kadin were set as executive producers on the series , which is `` not related '' to the 2016 film Star Trek Beyond . The January 2017 date was the earliest that CBS could release a new Star Trek series after an agreement the company made when it split with Viacom in 2005 . Showtime , Netflix , and Amazon Video all offered `` a lot of money '' for the rights to release the series , but after heavily investing in the new All Access service , CBS believed that a returning Star Trek could be `` the franchise that really puts All Access on the map '' and could earn more money in the long run . In January 2016 , CBS president Glenn Geller revealed that he and the CBS network were not involved in the production of the series , saying , `` It really is for All Access . While the network will be broadcasting the pilot , I actually ca n't answer any creative questions about it . '' The next month , Bryan Fuller , who began his career writing for the series Star Trek : Deep Space Nine and Star Trek : Voyager , was announced as the new series ' showrunner and co-creator alongside Kurtzman . Nicholas Meyer , writer and director of Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI : The Undiscovered Country , also joined the series as a writer and consulting producer . In March , Rod Roddenberry , the son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry , and Trevor Roth of Roddenberry Entertainment also joined the series , as executive producers . Fuller said that working with people previously involved with Star Trek was `` really about making sure that we maintain authenticity '' , and said that Meyer -- who is widely considered to have made the best Star Trek film in The Wrath of Khan -- brings `` a clarity and a cleanliness to the storytelling . An ability to ground science - fiction in a relatable way , and also making sure that we 're telling character stories . '' Fuller had publicly called for Star Trek to return to television for years , particularly because of its impact on minority groups , as he explained , `` I could n't stop thinking about how many black people were inspired by seeing Nichelle Nichols on the bridge of a ship . I could n't stop thinking about how many Asian people were inspired by seeing George Takei and feeling that gave them hope for their place in the future . I wanted to be part of that representation for a new era . '' When Fuller first met with CBS about the series , the company did not have a plan for what the new show would be . He proposed an anthology series with each season being a standalone , serialized show set in a different era , beginning with a prequel to the original series , then stories set during the original series , during Star Trek : The Next Generation , and then `` beyond to a time in Trek that 's never been seen before '' . Fuller compared this to what American Horror Story did for horror , and described the proposal as a platform for `` a universe of Trek shows '' . However , CBS told Fuller to just start with a single serialized show and see how that performs first , and he began further developing the concept of a prequel to the original series . Fuller announced in June 2016 that the first season would consist of 13 episodes , though he would prefer to produce 10 episodes a season moving forward . A month later , Fuller announced the series ' title to be Star Trek : Discovery , and revealed that it would be set in the `` Prime Timeline '' ( which includes the previous Star Trek series , but not the modern reboot films ) to keep the concurrent series and films separate , so `` we do n't have to track anything ( happening in the films ) and they do n't have to track what we 're doing '' . Also in July , CBS Studios International licensed the series to Netflix for release outside the United States and Canada , a `` blockbuster '' deal that paid for the show 's entire budget ( around US $6 -- 7 million per episode ) . During pre-production on the series , Fuller and CBS continued to disagree on the direction of the show , which was starting to overrun its per - episode budget , and was falling behind schedule due to Fuller supervising all aspects of the series as well as another new show , American Gods . This caused frustration among CBS executives who felt Fuller should be focused on having Discovery ready for release by the January 2017 premiere date . By August 2016 , Fuller had hired Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts , who he had worked with on Pushing Daisies , to serve as co-showrunners with him . A month later , he and Kurtzman asked CBS to delay the series ' release so they could meet the high expectations for it , and the studio pushed the series premiere back to May 2017 . '' At the end of October , CBS asked Fuller to step down as showrunner , and announced a restructuring of the production : Berg and Harberts were made sole showrunners , working from a broad story arc and overall mythology established by Fuller ; Kurtzman and Fuller would continue as executive producers , but with Fuller moving his attention fully to American Gods ; and Akiva Goldsman would join the series in a supporting producer role , similar to the role he held on Fringe alongside Kurtzman . CBS reiterated that they were `` extremely happy with ( Fuller 's ) creative direction '' for the series , though some elements of the series that came directly from Fuller were dropped , including some designs and `` more heavily allegorical and complex story '' points . Fuller later confirmed that he was no longer involved with the series , but expressed interest in returning for future seasons . With production set to finally begin in January , `` a lot of careful deliberation ( was ) continuing to go into making Discovery special , from the choice of directors , to set design , to the special effects . '' Ted Sullivan also joined the series to serve as supervising writing producer . At CBS 's 2017 upfront presentation , CBS Interactive president Marc DeBevoise confirmed a `` fall '' release date for the series , and announced that the episode order for the first season had been expanded to 15 episodes . In June , CBS announced a new premiere date of September 24 , 2017 , with the season airing through November 2017 , and then beginning again in January 2018 . This break gave more time to complete post-production on the second half of the season . Also that month , Kurtzman said that he and Fuller had discussed future seasons before the latter 's departure , and promised that `` what 's there in terms of story and certainly in terms of set - up , character , big ideas , the big movement of the season , that 's all stuff that Bryan and I talked about '' and would not be altered . Goldsman said in August that the producers wanted `` a hybridized ( anthology ) approach . I do n't think we 're looking for an endless , continuing nine or 10 year story . We 're looking at arcs which will have characters that we know and characters that we do n't know . '' Kurtzman added that the success of Discovery could lead to other new Star Trek series that could potentially use the anthology format . By the end of August , Berg and Harberts had developed a `` road map '' for a second season , and `` the beginnings of one '' for a third . It was also revealed that an average episode of the first season had ultimately cost US $8 -- 8.5 million each , making it one of the most expensive television series ever and exceeding the original Netflix deal , though CBS still considered the series to be paid for already due to the number of new All Access subscribers that the show was expected to draw . After the series ' premiere , Kurtzman said that the producers wanted to avoid announcing release dates and having to delay those for any future seasons , due to the external pressure that caused with the first season , but that he hoped a second season would be available in early 2019 . The second season was officially ordered a month later in October 2017 . Writing ( edit ) `` The defining factor of Roddenberry 's vision is the optimistic view of the future ... Once you lose that , you lose the essence of what Star Trek is . That being said ... Star Trek has always been a mirror to the time it reflected and ( the topical question now ) is how do you preserve and protect what Starfleet is in the weight of a challenge like war and the things that have to be done in war . '' -- Executive producer Alex Kurtzman on the balance between classic Star Trek and new elements in Discovery The series ' writers are based in Los Angeles , and include `` fans who all have very different relationships to Trek , '' which Kurtzman said is `` a healthy thing and it 's a good thing '' . Fuller wanted to differentiate the series from the previous 700 + episodes of Star Trek by taking advantage of the streaming format of All Access and telling a single story arc across the entire first season . He and Kurtzman developed this story from `` so many elements of Star Trek '' , taking certain episodes of the original series and using their `` DNA '' to find `` the spirit of what Star Trek offers , both in terms of high - concept science fiction storytelling and really wonderful metaphors for the human condition '' . Berg said that the series ' writers `` are so in love with '' The Original Series , The Next Generation , and the family aspect of those series , while Harberts added that Meyer 's Star Trek films were an especial influence on Discovery because `` his storytelling is complex and intellectual and yet there 's a lot of room for character voices '' . The titular ship was named after Discovery One from 2001 : A Space Odyssey , NASA 's Space Shuttle Discovery , and `` the sense of discovery ... what ( that ) means to Star Trek audiences who have been promised a future by Gene Roddenberry where we come together as a planet and seek new worlds and new alien races to explore and understand and collaborate with '' . Fuller saw the series as a bridge between Enterprise and the original series -- which are set around 150 years apart -- but set much closer to the latter to allow the series to `` play with all the iconography of those ships and those uniforms '' . In May 2017 , Sullivan described the series as `` a genuine prequel '' to the original series , with Goldsman later adding that there were many classic Star Trek elements that fans among the writers wished to include in the series , but could n't because they were included in the original series as something being discovered by Starfleet for the first time then . The choice to feature a single serlialized story throughout the first season was inspired by the general change in television to tell more realistic and serialized stories rather than the `` new destination - based adventure each week '' format mostly used in previous Star Trek series . Fuller had been one of several writers during the 1990s pushing for Deep Space Nine and Voyager to move towards this style . Also inspired by modern , `` peak television '' series such as Game of Thrones was a willingness to kill off major characters for dramatic reasons , though the writers wanted to avoid doing so gratuitously or for `` shock value '' . Fuller said the series could `` push the content envelope since it wo n't be constrained by broadcast standards '' , but `` it 's still Star Trek . It will probably be slightly more graphic content ... I imagine we 're going to shoot scenes a couple of ways and see what feels more authentic in the editing room . '' Harberts ultimately described the series as a `` hard PG - 13 '' , saying the series could include `` some violent things or ( a ) tiny bit of language '' but they still wanted the show to be for families and to `` honor what the franchise is . '' On using time travel in the series , a plot device used in at least two episodes of every previous live - action Star Trek season , Fuller said that it had not yet been used for any episode by the end of August 2016 , and , `` You never know when you want to pull out that device but I am not anticipating an over-reliance on time travel to tell this season 's stories . '' The series ' writers also chose to ignore Gene Roddenberry 's longstanding rule that Starfleet crew members not have any significant conflict with one another or be depicted negatively ( a rule that Roddenberry himself did not always strictly follow ) . Harberts explained , `` We 're trying to do stories that are complicated , with characters with strong points of view and strong passions . People have to make mistakes -- mistakes are still going to be made in the future . We 're still going to argue in the future ... the thing we 're taking from Roddenberry is how we solve those conflicts . '' Because of the show 's position as a prequel to the original series , the producers felt it was more important for Discovery to build towards Roddenberry 's ideals , and to show that `` you ca n't simply be accepting and tolerant without working for it , and so this show is about that struggle . '' Casting ( edit ) Sonequa Martin - Green portrays the series ' protagonist , Michael Burnham By June 2016 , Fuller had met with several actors , and said that `` we want to carry on what Star Trek does best , which is being progressive . So it 's fascinating to look at all of these roles through a colorblind prism and a gender - blind prism '' . A month later , Kadin clarified that the series would feature minority , female , and LGBTQ characters . In August , Fuller said the series would feature `` about seven '' lead characters , and would star a lieutenant commander , rather than a starship captain like previous Star Trek series , to be played by a non-white actress . He said the series would also include more alien characters than other Star Trek series , and would feature at least one openly gay character . Fuller , who is gay himself , had been determined to see this happen since receiving hate mail while working on Voyager when a character on that show was rumored to be coming out as gay . By this time , Fuller had discussed the series ' casting with Mae Jemison , the first black woman in space ( who made a cameo appearance in an episode of The Next Generation ) . Fuller anticipated casting announcements in October 2016 , but none had been made by the end of that month . The majority of the series main characters were believed to have been cast by then , but no actress had been cast for the series ' lead role . This was a source of `` some internal stress '' at CBS . Several African American and Latina actresses were being looked at for the role , with CBS `` not seeking a huge star and ( preferring ) a fresh face for the part . '' In October , the cast was believed to include `` a female admiral , a male Klingon captain , a male admiral , a male adviser and a British male doctor '' , with one of those male leads played by an openly gay actor . The next month , Doug Jones and Anthony Rapp were revealed to be cast , as Science Officers Saru and Stamets , respectively . The former is a Kelpien , an alien race created for the series , while the latter is the first Star Trek character to be conceived and announced as gay . Sonequa Martin - Green was cast in the lead role in December , which was officially confirmed in April 2017 , with the character 's name revealed to be Michael Burnham . Also in December , Shazad Latif was cast as the Klingon Kol . In March 2017 , Jason Isaacs was cast as Captain Lorca of the USS Discovery , and Mary Wiseman joined as Tilly , a cadet . At the end of April , Latif was revealed to have been recast to the role of Starfleet Lieutenant Tyler . Design ( edit ) Mark Worthington and Todd Cherniawsky served as initial production designers for the series ; Gersha Phillips and Suttirat Anne Larlarb designed the costumes ; veteran Star Trek designer John Eaves designed starships , along with Scott Schneider ; and Glenn Hetrick and Neville Page of Alchemy Studios provided prosthetics , props , and armor . Page previously served as the concept and creature designer on the three `` Kelvin Timeline '' Star Trek films . The series also employed seven art directors , over nine illustrators , more than thirty - five set designers , and over four hundred and fifty painters , carpenters , sculptors , model makers , welders , set dressers , and prop builders . Fuller said on the general approach to design on the show , `` we 're producing the show in 2016 . We have to update the style of the effects , the style of the sets , the style of the makeup ... all of the other series have been produced ( at a time that ) is n't as sophisticated as we are now with what we can do production-wise , we 're going to be reestablishing an entire look for the series '' and for Star Trek moving forward . Fuller had wanted the series ' uniforms to reflect the primary colors of the original series , but this was discarded after his departure . However , Fuller 's designs for the Klingons , which he `` really , really wanted '' to redesign , were retained . 3D Systems ' `` cutting edge '' 3D printing techniques were widely used in the making of the series . For the prosthetics , Page and Hetrick took detailed laser scans of the actors so they could simulate make - up and prosthetics in a virtual environment before creating the practical version . Fabric for the Starfleet uniforms seen in the series were custom - dyed in Switzerland ; the costumes were cut and assembled in Toronto by Phillips and her department . The main uniforms seen in the series are a navy blue specifically mixed for the show , with gold or silver embellishments depending on the division of the officer . Medical officers wear a `` hospital white '' variant , also custom - dyed in Switzerland , while the captain 's uniform is the standard navy blue but with additional gold piping on the shoulders . Starfleet insignia badges were molded from silicon bronze , and then polished and plated by a jeweler to create custom colors for the series , based on the division of the officer wearing the uniform : gold for command , silver for sciences and medical , and copper for operations . Props such as tricorders and hand scanners , communicators , and phasers were produced with 3D printing and heavily inspired by their designs in the original Star Trek series . The design of the USS Discovery is based on an unused Ralph McQuarrie design for the USS Enterprise from the unproduced film Star Trek : Planet of the Titans , which Fuller had noted in July 2016 was `` to a point that we ca n't legally comment on it until ( our legal team ) figures out some things '' . McQuarrie 's designs were based on the concepts created by Ken Adam to feature a vessel with a flattened secondary hull . Fuller wanted `` something distinct about what our Star Trek was going to look '' like , and after seeing McQuarrie 's design `` saw sort of harder lines of a ship and started talking about race cars and Lamborghinis in the ' 70s and James Bond cars and started working on the designs , taking those inspirations and coming up with something completely unique to us . '' The design for the Discovery went through several revisions and refinements before the final version was approved in December 2016 . The sickbay on the Discovery was inspired by that of the Enterprise from the original series . Other Federation starships created for the show include the USS Shenzhou and the USS Europa . Sets for the Discovery 's interiors were described as a `` tangle of corridors and rooms '' , and were designed to match with the exterior design of the ship , so `` the rooms ( could believably ) fit inside the house '' , but there was some artistic license taken in places . The graphics used for the Starfleet computer systems were designed to be believably more advanced than modern technology , but to also `` honor the look and feel '' of the designs used in previous series . The initial colors allowed for the graphics were mostly restricted to blues , with the intention of these becoming more colorful the closer the series gets to the time period of the original series . Filming ( edit ) Star Trek : Discovery is filmed at Pinewood Toronto Studios , with Vincenzo Natali serving as producing director for the series . Some of the series ' sets took over six weeks to create , and new sets were being built up until the end of production of the season . Discovery took advantage of multiple soundstages at the studio , including the largest soundstage in North America . Some episodes for the show were filmed solely on existing sets , making them bottle episodes , though Harberts said the series would not do anything `` as bottle - y as ' everyone is stuck in the mess hall ! ' '' For the visual scope of the series , Kurtzman felt that the show had to `` justify being on a premium cable service '' . The showrunners were particularly inspired by Star Trek : The Motion Picture and its `` wider scope '' , with Harberts explaining that the series is shot in a 2 : 1 aspect ratio which `` just lends itself to a very lyrical way of telling the story . '' He added that some of the series ' visuals were influenced by the modern Star Trek films from J.J. Abrams . Some of these influences , per Goldsman , are `` the ability to be creative cinematically ... the intimate discourse , the humanistic storytelling with the giant canvas that is Star Trek . A more kinetic camera , a more dynamic way of existing , a much greater use of practical sets so when you 're running down a corridor , you 're running down a corridor . A sense of rhythm ... there is a sense of litheness , a kind of fluidity in the characterizations . '' The producers worked closely with pilot director David Semel to make the series look as cinematic as possible , including filming the bridge of Starfleet 's ships in such a way as `` not to shoot in a sort of proscenium box ... to be able to get the camera into spaces where , you know , to shoot it in interesting ways , which is a combination of choreographing a scene to motivate the camera moving , and also lighting . '' The cinematographers for the series wanted to emphasize on set sourcing , with lighting built in wherever it would naturally appear to help create a more realistic feel , and distance the series from the `` stage '' feel of the original series . The lighting could also be controlled to create completely different situations , such as the lighting of a Starfleet red alert . Harberts said that the cinematographers wanted the series to have a `` Rembrandt texture '' . Visual effects ( edit ) Visual effects producers were hired to begin work on the series during the initial writing period , with Fuller explaining that the series would require such things as `` digital augmentation on certain alien species '' and `` the transporter beams '' . He said , `` We 're trying to cultivate distinct looks for all of those things that are unique to our version of Star Trek and carry through the themes we love seeing in fifty years of Star Trek , but doing a slightly different approach . '' Pixomondo is the primary visual effects vendor for the series , with Spin VFX also working on the show . Kurtzman noted that the series utilizes multiple CG environments which take several months to properly render . The shuttle bay of the Discovery is completely computer - generated , with actors performing in front of a green screen for scenes in that environment ; using the digital set is more expensive than any other set created for the series , including the practically - built ones . Music ( edit ) The first teaser for the series featured music composed by Fil Eisler , which he `` threw together as an audition '' within three weeks . Before production on the series began , Charles Henri Avelange had also composed and recorded music for the series , which he described as `` a showcase for CBS '' . In July 2017 , Jeff Russo was announced as composer for the series . Russo recorded the series ' score with a 60 - piece orchestra . The show 's main theme incorporates elements from the original Star Trek theme . Release ( edit ) The first episode of Star Trek : Discovery aired in a `` preview broadcast '' on CBS in the United States on September 24 , as well as being made available with the second episode on CBS All Access . Subsequent first - run episodes , making up the first chapter of the season , will be streamed weekly on All Access through November 12 . The second chapter will begin streaming January 2018 . CBS Studios International licensed the series to Bell Media for broadcast in Canada , and to Netflix for another 188 countries . In Canada , the premiere was simulcast with CBS on September 24 , 2017 , on both the CTV Television Network and on the specialty channel Space before being streamed on CraveTV ; it was also broadcast in French on the specialty channel Z . Subsequent episodes will be released through Space , Z , and CraveTV , with Space airing each episode 30 minutes before it 's streamed on All Access . In the other countries , Netflix will release each episode of the series for streaming within 24 hours of its U.S. debut . This agreement also saw Bell Media and Netflix acquire all previous Star Trek series to stream in their entirety , and to broadcast on Bell Media television channels . Marketing ( edit ) The first full trailer for the series was released in May 2017 . Forbes 's Merrill Barr noted that the trailer was a good sign for many who believed the series would never be released following the many production setbacks and delays , saying , `` Having a legitimate trailer that can be watched over and over again brings signs of hope , particularly for fans that have been waiting over a year for this moment . Star Trek : Discovery is real , and now we have proof . '' Chris Harnick of E ! News described the trailer as `` gorgeous '' and `` truly cinematic '' , and because of the appearances of Sarek and the Klingons in the footage , `` this is the Star Trek you know and love . '' Aja Romano at Vox called the trailer 's visuals `` sumptuous '' and `` modern , but still very much in keeping with the aesthetic of previous Trek series '' . She continued , `` What gets short shrift in this trailer is the series ' overarching plot ... In any case , seeing the Klingons in all their combative glory feels a bit like coming home for Trek fans . '' Also in May , McFarlane Toys signed a toy license deal with CBS to produce `` figures , role play weapons and accessories '' for Discovery . CBS Consumer Products senior vice president Veronica Hart explained that McFarlane was chosen as the first licensee for the series because of its `` commitment to quality and dedication to fans '' . The deal will also see the company `` create merchandise from the entire Star Trek universe , ranging from the classic Star Trek : The Original Series to its popular movie franchise . '' The first merchandise produced under the deal are set for release in mid-2018 . Reception ( edit ) Ratings and viewership ( edit ) According to Nielsen Media Research , the CBS broadcast of the first episode was watched by a `` decent '' audience of 9.5 million viewers . The premiere of the series led to record subscriptions for All Access , with the service having its biggest day of signups , as well as its biggest week and month of signups thanks to the series . According to `` app analytics specialist '' App Annie , the premiere of the series also caused the number of downloads of the All Access mobile app to more than double , with revenue from the app for CBS doubling compared to the average in - app revenue during the previous 30 days . Critical response ( edit ) The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 83 % approval rating for the first season , with an average rating of 7.13 / 10 based on 51 reviews . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Although it takes an episode to achieve liftoff , Star Trek : Discovery delivers a solid franchise installment for the next generation -- boldly led by the charismatic Sonequa Martin - Green . '' Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned a score of 72 out of 100 based on 20 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Other Media ( edit ) After Trek ( edit ) Main article : After Trek By July 2016 , CBS was working on an aftershow companion series to Discovery similar in format to AMC 's Talking Dead , a companion to The Walking Dead . The show would air live after each episode of Discovery , and would feature `` guests , celebrity Trekkies , former Star Trek actors , along with cast members and crew '' from Discovery . The companion series was confirmed in 2017 , with the title After Trek and host Matt Mira . It is produced by Embassy Row in association with Roddenberry Entertainment . Publishing ( edit ) In September 2016 , Discovery writer Kirsten Beyer announced that CBS was working with IDW and Simon & Schuster to produce more content revolving around the setting of the series , starting with at least one novel and a comic series tied to the television show . Beyer , the writer of many Star Trek : Voyager novels , explained that she would work with fellow Star Trek novelist David Mack and Star Trek comic writer Mike Johnson to ensure that all three media `` are coming from the same place '' . The release of the books and comics was set to coincide with the series ' premiere . Mack described writing around the continuity of Discovery as `` tricky to get right '' , as the time period `` is light on detail and almost unique within the Star Trek continuity . That made it a challenge to represent that era faithfully while also staying true to the new elements being introduced '' in the new series . In August 2017 , Beyer explained the series ' writers ' intentions for the additional content , saying , `` We want to be able to take the story opportunities that we 're just frankly not going to have time to cover in the show , and go as deep into those into the various formats as we can . It 's not that you have to read these stories to understand everything , but the story will be incredibly enhanced if you do . '' Regarding whether this content would be considered canonical , Beyer said that the stories of the comics and novels are briefed back to the show 's writing staff so `` the stories we created get integrated into their brains '' , but she also said , `` Because of the collaborative nature of this process , we 're able to go farther , take bigger risks . The danger is that , in the future , somebody will come upon with an amazing story idea that would incompatible with what we 've already established and just like always , the series is going to take priority . But the hope is that we can carve out these places that are safe and that we can continue to protect because as much as possible we want this to be one integrated universe ... we 're doing what we can to make sure these stories all fit together moving forward . '' Novels ( edit ) The first tie - in to the show is Desperate Hours , a prequel set a year before Discovery and a year after `` The Cage '' . Written by Mack , the novel is set for release on September 26 , and follows Burnham as she serves aboard the Shenzhou . Fuller had asked for a book to be written based on that premise , and Mack had worked with the Discovery writers to stay `` in the loop throughout the season with all the scripts and the story development . There were a few false starts , but eventually it allowed us to collaboratively create this story '' . Mack hinted that the USS Enterprise could also appear in the novel . The second Discovery novel is being written by Dayton Ward , is set 10 years before the show , and is intended to be released in early 2018 . Comics ( edit ) In July 2017 , IDW announced the first tie - in comic series , also titled Star Trek : Discovery , to be written by Johnson and Beyer with art by Tony Shasteen , who previously worked with Johnson on the comic Star Trek : Boldly Go . IDW described the comic as `` Klingon - centric '' , and set the first issue for release on October 25 . Johnson compared working with Beyer on the comic to his work on the Star Trek : Countdown comic , a tie - in to the 2009 Star Trek film that he wrote with Kurtzman and Roberto Orci , saying that her position as a staff writer on the Discovery show `` means we have all the inside access that we need . So the story in the comic will really matter and not just feel like a one - off . It is actually able to expand the story you guys are going to see in the show itself . '' In August , it was clarified that the first comic would be a four - issue miniseries focused on T'Kuvma and his followers , and that IDW intended to create a series of comic miniseries based on different aspects of the series to create `` targeted stories on some different subjects '' . Johnson stated that they were `` building out the characters in the Klingon world with these comics , and we ca n't wait to show you . '' He added that discussions were being held regarding the subject of the next miniseries . IDW editor Sarah Gaydos said , `` The access we 're getting to the show to create these comics that are integral to fleshing out the backstories of the characters is unheard of , and I do a lot of licensed comics . '' Star Trek Timelines ( edit ) In late 2017 , `` hours '' of Discovery - based content will be added to the role playing video game Star Trek Timelines , including Michael Burnham and Saru as new crew members for the game and new ships from the show , both Federation and otherwise . A month long `` Mega-Event '' based on the series will also take place .

where is the enterprise in star trek discovery
[ "The design of the USS Discovery is based on an unused Ralph McQuarrie design for the USS Enterprise from the unproduced film Star Trek: Planet of the Titans, which Fuller had noted in July 2016 was \"to a point that we can't legally comment on it until [our legal team] figures out some things\".[41] McQuarrie's designs were based on the concepts created by Ken Adam to feature a vessel with a flattened secondary hull.[81][82] Fuller wanted \"something distinct about what our Star Trek was going to look\" like, and after seeing McQuarrie's design \"saw sort of harder lines of a ship and started talking about race cars and Lamborghinis in the '70s and James Bond cars and started working on the designs, taking those inspirations and coming up with something completely unique to us.\"[83] The design for the Discovery went through several revisions and refinements before the final version was approved in December 2016.[84] The sickbay on the Discovery was inspired by that of the Enterprise from the original series.[85] Other Federation starships created for the show include the USS Shenzhou and the USS Europa.[86][87] Sets for the Discovery's interiors were described as a \"tangle of corridors and rooms\",[53] and were designed to match with the exterior design of the ship, so \"the rooms [could believably] fit inside the house\", but there was some artistic license taken in places. The graphics used for the Starfleet computer systems were designed to be believably more advanced than modern technology, but to also \"honor the look and feel\" of the designs used in previous series. The initial colors allowed for the graphics were mostly restricted to blues, with the intention of these becoming more colorful the closer the series gets to the time period of the original series.[76]" ]

Most arks feature a parokhet ( curtain ) placed either outside the doors of the holy ark ( Ashkenazi and Mizrachi custom ) or inside the doors of the ark ( Spanish and Portuguese and Moroccan Sephardi custom ) . The ark is known in Hebrew as the aron kodesh ( `` holy ark '' ) by the Ashkenazim and as the hekhál ( `` holy place '' ) among most Sefardim .

Placement ( edit ) Modena , Italy ( 1505 ) The ark is often placed on the wall of the sanctuary which is facing Jerusalem , however it is sometimes placed on the north wall or another wall for architectural reasons . In those cases where the ark does not show the direction to Jerusalem , traditional Judaism instructs the worshiper to face the true direction towards Jerusalem in prayers such as the Amidah . In some ancient synagogues , such as the fifth - century synagogue in Susia , the Torah scroll was not placed inside the synagogue at all , but in a room adjacent to it , signifying that the sacredness of the synagogue does not come from the ark but from its being a house of prayer . The Torah was brought into the synagogue for reading purposes .

Capital punishment in the United States
Capital punishment in the United states - wikipedia Capital punishment in the United states Jump to : navigation , search A map showing the use of the death penalty in the United States by individual states . The death penalty is used throughout the United States for certain federal crimes . Keeps death penalty Abolished for any offense Capital punishment is a legal penalty in the United States , currently used by 31 states , the federal government , and the military . Its existence can be traced to the beginning of the American colonies . The United States is the only Western country currently applying the death penalty , one of 58 countries worldwide applying it , and was the first to develop lethal injection as a method of execution , which has since been adopted by five other countries . There were no executions in the United States between 1967 and 1977 . In 1972 , the U.S. Supreme Court struck down capital punishment statutes in Furman v. Georgia , reducing all death sentences pending at the time to life imprisonment . Subsequently , a majority of states passed new death penalty statutes , and the court affirmed the legality of capital punishment in the 1976 case Gregg v. Georgia . Since then , more than 7,800 defendants have been sentenced to death ; of these , more than 1,400 have been executed , 161 who were sentenced to death in the modern era were exonerated before their execution , and more than 2,900 are still on death row .

The Bill of Rights adopted in 1789 included the Eighth Amendment which prohibited cruel and unusual punishment . The Fifth Amendment was drafted with language implying a possible use of the death penalty , requiring a grand jury indictment for `` capital crime '' and a due process of law for deprivation of `` life '' by the government . The Fourteenth Amendment adopted in 1868 also requires a due process of law for deprivation of life by any states . The Espy file , compiled by M. Watt Espy and John Ortiz Smykla , lists 15,269 people executed in the United States and its predecessor colonies between 1608 and 1991 . From 1930 to 2002 , there were 4,661 executions in the U.S. , about two - thirds of them in the first 20 years . Additionally , the United States Army executed 135 soldiers between 1916 and 1955 ( the most recent ) . Early Abolition movement ( edit ) Three states abolished the death penalty for murder during the 19th century : Michigan ( which has never executed a prisoner since achieving statehood ) in 1846 , Wisconsin in 1853 and Maine in 1887 . Rhode Island is also a state with a long abolitionist background , having repealed the death penalty in 1852 , though it was theoretically available for murder committed by a prisoner between 1872 and 1984 . Other states which abolished the death penalty for murder before Gregg v. Georgia include : Minnesota in 1911 , Vermont in 1964 , Iowa and West Virginia in 1965 and North Dakota in 1973 . Hawaii abolished the death penalty in 1948 and Alaska in 1957 , both before their statehood . Puerto Rico repealed it in 1929 and the District of Columbia in 1981 . Arizona and Oregon abolished the death penalty by popular vote in 1916 and 1964 respectively , but both reinstated it , again by popular vote , some years later : Arizona in 1918 and Oregon in 1978 . Puerto Rico and Michigan are the only two U.S. jurisdictions to have explicitly prohibited capital punishment in their constitutions : in 1952 and 1964 , respectively . Constitutional law developments ( edit ) Nevertheless , capital punishment continued to be used by a majority of states and the federal government for various crimes , especially murder and rape , from the creation of the United States up to the beginning of the 1960s . Until then , `` save for a few mavericks , no one gave any credence to the possibility of ending the death penalty by judicial interpretation of constitutional law '' , according to abolitionist Hugo Bedau . The possibility of challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty became progressively more realistic after the Supreme Court of the United States decided Trop v. Dulles in 1958 , when the court said explicitly for the first time that the Eighth Amendment 's cruel and unusual clause must draw its meaning from the `` evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society '' , rather than from its original meaning . Also in the 1932 case Powell v. Alabama , the court made the first step of what would be later be called `` death is different '' jurisprudence , when it held that any indigent defendant was entitled to a court - appointed attorney in capital cases - a right that was only later extended to non-capital defendants in 1963 , with Gideon v. Wainwright . Capital punishment suspended ( 1972 ) ( edit ) Further information : Furman v. Georgia In Furman v. Georgia , the U.S. Supreme Court considered a group of consolidated cases . The lead case involved an individual convicted under Georgia 's death penalty statute , which featured a `` unitary trial '' procedure in which the jury was asked to return a verdict of guilt or innocence and , simultaneously , determine whether the defendant would be punished by death or life imprisonment . The last pre-Furman execution was that of Luis Monge on June 2 , 1967 . In a 5 - 4 decision , the Supreme Court struck down the impositions of the death penalty in each of the consolidated cases as unconstitutional in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution . The Supreme Court has never ruled the death penalty to be per se unconstitutional . The five justices in the majority did not produce a common opinion or rationale for their decision , however , and agreed only on a short statement announcing the result . The narrowest opinions , those of Byron White and Potter Stewart , expressed generalized concerns about the inconsistent application of the death penalty across a variety of cases , but did not exclude the possibility of a constitutional death penalty law . Stewart and William O. Douglas worried explicitly about racial discrimination in enforcement of the death penalty . Thurgood Marshall and William J. Brennan Jr. expressed the opinion that the death penalty was proscribed absolutely by the Eighth Amendment as cruel and unusual punishment . The Furman decision caused all death sentences pending at the time to be reduced to life imprisonment , and was described by scholars as a `` legal bombshell '' . The next day , columnist Barry Schweid wrote that it was `` unlikely '' that the death penalty could exist anymore in the United States . Capital punishment reinstated ( 1976 ) ( edit ) Further information : Gregg v. Georgia U.S. Supreme Court seat in Washington , D.C. Instead of abandoning capital punishment , 37 states enacted new death penalty statutes that attempted to address the concerns of White and Stewart in Furman . Some states responded by enacting mandatory death penalty statutes which prescribed a sentence of death for anyone convicted of certain forms of murder . White had hinted that such a scheme would meet his constitutional concerns in his Furman opinion . Other states adopted `` bifurcated '' trial and sentencing procedures , with various procedural limitations on the jury 's ability to pronounce a death sentence designed to limit juror discretion . On July 2 , 1976 , the U.S. Supreme Court decided Gregg v. Georgia and upheld 7 - 2 a Georgia procedure in which the trial of capital crimes was bifurcated into guilt - innocence and sentencing phases . At the first proceeding , the jury decides the defendant 's guilt ; if the defendant is innocent or otherwise not convicted of first - degree murder , the death penalty will not be imposed . At the second hearing , the jury determines whether certain statutory aggravating factors exist , whether any mitigating factors exist , and , in many jurisdictions , weigh the aggravating and mitigating factors in assessing the ultimate penalty - either death or life in prison , either with or without parole . The same day , in Woodson v. North Carolina and Roberts v. Louisiana , the court struck down 5 - 4 statutes providing a mandatory death sentence . Executions resumed on January 17 , 1977 , when Gary Gilmore went before a firing squad in Utah . Although hundreds of individuals were sentenced to death in the United States during the 1970s and early 1980s , only ten people besides Gilmore ( who had waived all of his appeal rights ) were actually executed prior to 1984 . Supreme court narrows capital offenses ( edit ) In 1977 , the Supreme Court 's Coker v. Georgia decision barred the death penalty for rape of an adult woman . Previously , the death penalty for rape of an adult had been gradually phased out in the United States , and at the time of the decision , Georgia and the U.S. Federal government were the only two jurisdictions to still retain the death penalty for that offense . In the 1980 case Godfrey v. Georgia , the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that murder can be punished by death only if it involves a narrow and precise aggravating factor . The U.S. Supreme Court has placed two major restrictions on the use of the death penalty . First , the case of Atkins v. Virginia , decided on June 20 , 2002 , held that the execution of intellectually disabled inmates is unconstitutional . Second , in 2005 , the court 's decision in Roper v. Simmons struck down executions for offenders under the age of 18 at the time of the crime . In the 2008 case Kennedy v. Louisiana , the court also held 5 - 4 that the death penalty is unconstitutional when applied to non-homicidal crimes against the person , including child rape . Only two death row inmates ( both in Louisiana ) were affected by the decision . Nevertheless , the ruling came less than five months before the 2008 presidential election and was criticized by both major party candidates Barack Obama and John McCain . Repeal movements and legal challenges ( edit ) In 2004 , New York and Kansas capital sentencing schemes were struck down by their respective state highest courts . Kansas successfully appealed the Kansas Supreme Court decision to the United States Supreme Court , who reinstated the statute in Kansas v. Marsh ( 2006 ) , holding it did not violate the U.S. Constitution . The decision of New York Court of Appeals was based on the state constitution , making unavailable any appeal . The state lower house has since blocked all attempts to reinstate the death penalty by adopting a valid sentencing scheme . In 2016 , Delaware 's death penalty statute was also struck down by its state supreme court . In 2007 , New Jersey became the first state to repeal the death penalty by legislative vote since Gregg v. Georgia , followed by New Mexico in 2009 , Illinois in 2011 , Connecticut in 2012 , and Maryland in 2013 . The repeals were not retroactive , but in New Jersey , Illinois and Maryland , governors commuted all death sentences after enacting the new law . In Connecticut , the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that the repeal must be retroactive . New Mexico is the only state with remaining death row inmates and no present death penalty statute . Nebraska 's legislature also passed a repeal in 2015 , but a referendum campaign gathered enough signatures to suspend it . Capital punishment was reinstated by popular vote on November 8 , 2016 . The same day , California 's electorate defeated a proposal to repeal the death penalty , and adopted another initiative to speed up its appeal process . Since Furman , 11 states have organized popular votes dealing with the death penalty through the initiative and referendum process . All resulted in a vote for reinstating it , rejecting its abolition , expanding its application field , specifying in the state constitution that it is not unconstitutional , or expediting the appeal process in capital cases . Lethal injection era ( edit ) The lethal injection room in Florida State Prison . From 1976 to January 1 , 2018 , there were 1,465 executions , of which 1,290 were by lethal injection , 158 by electrocution , 11 by gas inhalation , 3 by hanging , and 3 by firing squad . Executions increased in frequency until 1999 ; 98 prisoners were executed that year . Since 1999 , the number of executions has greatly decreased , and the 20 executions in 2016 were the fewest since 1991 . The death penalty was a notable issue during the 1988 presidential election . It came up in the October 13 , 1988 , debate between the two presidential nominees George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis , when Bernard Shaw , the moderator of the debate , asked Dukakis , `` Governor , if Kitty Dukakis ( his wife ) were raped and murdered , would you favor an irrevocable death penalty for the killer ? '' Dukakis replied , `` No , I do n't , and I think you know that I 've opposed the death penalty during all of my life . I do n't see any evidence that it 's a deterrent , and I think there are better and more effective ways to deal with violent crime . '' Bush was elected , and many , including Dukakis himself , cite the statement as the beginning of the end of his campaign . In 1996 , Congress passed the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act to streamline the appeal process in capital cases . The bill was signed into law by President Bill Clinton , who had endorsed capital punishment during his 1992 presidential campaign . A study found that at least 34 of the 749 executions carried out in the U.S. between 1977 and 2001 , or 4.5 % , involved `` unanticipated problems or delays that caused , at least arguably , unnecessary agony for the prisoner or that reflect gross incompetence of the executioner '' . The rate of these `` botched executions '' remained steady over the period . A study published in The Lancet in 2005 found that in 43 % of cases of lethal injection , the blood level of hypnotics in the prisoner was insufficient to ensure unconsciousness . Nonetheless , the Supreme Court ruled in 2008 ( Baze v. Rees ) and again in 2015 ( Glossip v. Gross ) that lethal injection does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment . Women 's History and capital punishment ( edit ) In 1632 , 24 years after the first recorded male execution in the colonies , Jane Champion became the first woman to be lawfully executed . She was sentenced to death by hanging after she was convicted of murder in front of a grand jury . The second half of the 1600s saw the executions of 14 women and 6 men who were accused of witchcraft during the witch hunt hysteria and the Salem Witch Trials . While both men and women were executed , 80 % of the accusations were towards women , so the list of executions disproportionately affected men by a margin of 6 ( actual ) to 4 ( expected ) , i.e. 50 % more men were executed than expected from the percentage of accused who were men . Other notable female executions include Mary Surratt , Margie Velma Barfield and Wanda Jean Allen . Mary Surratt was executed by hanging in 1865 after being convicted of co-conspiring to assassinate Abraham Lincoln . Margie Velma Barfield was convicted of murder and when she was executed by lethal injection in 1984 , she became the first woman to be executed since the ban on capital punishment was lifted in 1976 . Wanda Jean Allen was convicted of murder in 1989 and had a high - profile execution by lethal injection in January 2001 . She was the first black woman to be executed in the US since 1954 . According to Allen 's lawyers , prosecutors capitalized on her low IQ , race and homosexuality in their representations of her as a murderer at trial . Capital crimes ( edit ) Aggravated murder ( edit ) Aggravating factors for seeking capital punishment of murder vary greatly among death penalty states . California has twenty - two ; New Hampshire has seven . Some aggravating circumstances are nearly universal , such as robbery - murder , murder involving rape of the victim , and murder of an on - duty police officer . Several states have included child murder to their list of aggravating factors , but the victim 's age under which the murder is punishable by death varies . In 2011 , Texas raised this age from six to ten . In some states , the high number of aggravating factors has been criticized on account of giving prosecutors too much discretion in choosing cases where they believe capital punishment is warranted . In California especially , an official commission proposed , in 2008 , to reduce these factors to five ( multiple murders , torture murder , murder of a police officer , murder committed in jail , and murder related to another felony ) . Columnist Charles Lane went further , and proposed that murder related to a felony other than rape should no longer be a capital crime when there is only one victim killed . Crimes against the state ( edit ) The opinion of the court in Kennedy v. Louisiana says that the ruling does not apply to `` treason , espionage , terrorism , and drug kingpin activity , which are offenses against the State '' . Since no one is on death row for such offenses , the court has yet to rule on the constitutionality of the death penalty applied for them . Treason , espionage and large - scale drug trafficking are all capital crimes under federal law . Treason is also punishable by death in six states ( Arkansas , California , Georgia , Louisiana , Mississippi , and Missouri ) . Vermont still has a pre-Furman statute providing the death penalty for treason despite removing capital punishment for murder in 1965 . Large - scale drug trafficking is punishable by death in two states ( Florida and Missouri ) . Aircraft hijacking is a capital crime in Georgia and Mississippi . Legal process ( edit ) The legal administration of the death penalty in the United States typically involves five critical steps : ( 1 ) prosecutorial decision to seek the death penalty ( 2 ) sentencing , ( 3 ) direct review , ( 4 ) state collateral review , and ( 5 ) federal habeas corpus . Clemency , through which the Governor or President of the jurisdiction can unilaterally reduce or abrogate a death sentence , is an executive rather than judicial process . Decision to seek the death penalty ( edit ) While judges in criminal cases can usually impose a harsher prison sentence than the one demanded by prosecution , the death penalty can be handed down only if the accuser has specifically decided to seek it . In the decades since Furman , new questions have emerged about whether or not prosecutorial arbitrariness has replaced sentencing arbitrariness . A study by Pepperdine University School of Law published in Temple Law Review , surveyed the decision - making process among prosecutors in various states . The authors found that prosecutors ' capital punishment filing decisions remain marked by local `` idiosyncrasies '' , suggesting they are not in keeping with the spirit of the Supreme Court 's directive . This means that `` the very types of unfairness that the Supreme Court sought to eliminate '' may still `` infect capital cases '' . Wide prosecutorial discretion remains because of overly broad criteria . California law , for example , has 22 `` special circumstances '' , making nearly all premeditated murders potential capital cases . A proposed remedy against prosecutorial arbitrariness is to transfer the prosecution of capital cases to the state attorney general . Sentencing ( edit ) Of the 31 states with the death penalty , 29 provide the sentence to be decided by a jury , and 28 require a unanimous sentence . The only state which does not require a unanimous jury decision is Alabama . In Alabama , at least 10 jurors must concur . A retrial happens if the jury deadlocks . Nebraska is the only state in which the sentence is decided by a three - judge panel . If one of the judges on the panel opposes death , the defendant is sentenced to life imprisonment . Montana is the only state where the trial judge decides the sentence alone . In all states in which the jury is involved , only death - qualified veniremen can be selected in such a jury , to exclude both people who will always vote for the death sentence and those who are categorically opposed to it . However , the states differ on what happens if the penalty phase results in a hung jury : In four states ( Arizona , California , Kentucky and Nevada ) , a retrial of the penalty phase will be conducted before a different jury ( the common - law rule for mistrial ) . In two states ( Indiana and Missouri ) , the judge will decide the sentence . In the 22 other states , a hung jury results in a life sentence , even if only one juror opposed death . Federal law also provides that outcome . The first outcome is referred as the `` true unanimity '' rule , while the third has been criticized as the `` single - juror veto '' rule . Direct review ( edit ) If a defendant is sentenced to death at the trial level , the case then goes into a direct review . The direct review process is a typical legal appeal . An appellate court examines the record of evidence presented in the trial court and the law that the lower court applied and decides whether the decision was legally sound or not . Direct review of a capital sentencing hearing will result in one of three outcomes . If the appellate court finds that no significant legal errors occurred in the capital sentencing hearing , the appellate court will affirm the judgment , or let the sentence stand . If the appellate court finds that significant legal errors did occur , then it will reverse the judgment , or nullify the sentence and order a new capital sentencing hearing . Lastly , if the appellate court finds that no reasonable juror could find the defendant eligible for the death penalty , a rarity , then it will order the defendant acquitted , or not guilty , of the crime for which he / she was given the death penalty , and order him sentenced to the next most severe punishment for which the offense is eligible . About 60 percent survive the process of direct review intact . State collateral review ( edit ) At times when a death sentence is affirmed on direct review , supplemental methods to attack the judgment , though less familiar than a typical appeal , do remain . These supplemental remedies are considered collateral review , that is , an avenue for upsetting judgments that have become otherwise final . Where the prisoner received his death sentence in a state - level trial , as is usually the case , the first step in collateral review is state collateral review , which is often called state habeas corpus . ( If the case is a federal death penalty case , it proceeds immediately from direct review to federal habeas corpus . ) Although all states have some type of collateral review , the process varies widely from state to state . Generally , the purpose of these collateral proceedings is to permit the prisoner to challenge his sentence on grounds that could not have been raised reasonably at trial or on direct review . Most often , these are claims , such as ineffective assistance of counsel , which requires the court to consider new evidence outside the original trial record , something courts may not do in an ordinary appeal . State collateral review , though an important step in that it helps define the scope of subsequent review through federal habeas corpus , is rarely successful in and of itself . Only around 6 percent of death sentences are overturned on state collateral review . In Virginia , state habeas corpus for condemned men are heard by the state supreme court under exclusive original jurisdiction since 1995 , immediately after direct review by the same court . This avoids any proceeding before the lower courts , and is in part why Virginia has the shortest time on average between death sentence and execution ( less than eight years ) and has executed 113 offenders since 1976 with only five remaining on death row as of June 2017 . To reduce litigation delays , other states require convicts to file their state collateral appeal before the completion of their direct appeal , or provide adjudication of direct and collateral attacks together in a `` unitary review '' . Federal habeas corpus ( edit ) After a death sentence is affirmed in state collateral review , the prisoner may file for federal habeas corpus , which is a unique type of lawsuit that can be brought in federal courts . Federal habeas corpus is a type of collateral review , and it is the only way that state prisoners may attack a death sentence in federal court ( other than petitions for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court after both direct review and state collateral review ) . The scope of federal habeas corpus is governed by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 ( AEDPA ) , which restricted significantly its previous scope . The purpose of federal habeas corpus is to ensure that state courts , through the process of direct review and state collateral review , have done a reasonable job in protecting the prisoner 's federal constitutional rights . Prisoners may also use federal habeas corpus suits to bring forth new evidence that they are innocent of the crime , though to be a valid defense at this late stage in the process , evidence of innocence must be truly compelling . According to Eric Freedman , 21 percent of death penalty cases are reversed through federal habeas corpus . James Liebman , a professor of law at Columbia Law School , stated in 1996 that his study found that when habeas corpus petitions in death penalty cases were traced from conviction to completion of the case , there was `` a 40 percent success rate in all capital cases from 1978 to 1995 '' . Similarly , a study by Ronald Tabak in a law review article puts the success rate in habeas corpus cases involving death row inmates even higher , finding that between `` 1976 and 1991 , approximately 47 percent of the habeas petitions filed by death row inmates were granted '' . The different numbers are largely definitional , rather than substantive : Freedam 's statistics looks at the percentage of all death penalty cases reversed , while the others look only at cases not reversed prior to habeas corpus review . A similar process is available for prisoners sentenced to death by the judgment of a federal court . The AEDPA also provides an expeditious habeas procedure in capital cases for states meeting several requirements set forth in it concerning counsel appointment for death row inmates . Under this program , federal habeas corpus for condemned prisoners would be decided in about three years from affirmance of the sentence on state collateral review . In 2006 , Congress conferred the determination of whether a state fulfilled the requirements to the U.S. attorney general , with a possible appeal of the state to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit . As of March 2016 , the Department of Justice has still not granted any certifications . Section 1983 ( edit ) If the federal court refuses to issue a writ of habeas corpus , the death sentence becomes final for all purposes . In recent times , however , prisoners have postponed execution through another way of federal litigation using the Civil Rights Act of 1871 - codified at 42 U.S.C. § 1983 - which allows people to bring lawsuits against state actors to protect their federal constitutional and statutory rights . While the aforementioned appeals are normally limited to one and automatically stay the execution of the death sentence , Section 1983 lawsuits are unlimited , but the petitioner will be granted a stay of execution only if the court believes he has a likelihood of success on the merits . Traditionally , Section 1983 was of limited use for a state prisoner under sentence of death because the Supreme Court has held that habeas corpus , not Section 1983 , is the only vehicle by which a state prisoner can challenge his judgment of death . In the 2006 Hill v. McDonough case , however , the United States Supreme Court approved the use of Section 1983 as a vehicle for challenging a state 's method of execution as cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment . The theory is that a prisoner bringing such a challenge is not attacking directly his judgment of death , but rather the means by which that the judgment will be carried out . Therefore , the Supreme Court held in the Hill case that a prisoner can use Section 1983 rather than habeas corpus to bring the lawsuit . Yet , as Clarence Hill 's own case shows , lower federal courts have often refused to hear suits challenging methods of execution on the ground that the prisoner brought the claim too late and only for the purposes of delay . Further , the Court 's decision in Baze v. Rees , upholding a lethal injection method used by many states , has narrowed the opportunity for relief through Section 1983 . Execution warrant ( edit ) While the execution warrant is issued by the governor in several states , in the vast majority it is a judicial order , issued by a judge or by the state supreme court at the request of the prosecution . The warrant usually sets an execution day . Some states instead provide a longer period , such as a week or 10 days to carry out the execution . This is designated to avoid issuing a new warrant in case of a last - minute stay of execution that would be vacated only few days or few hours later . Distribution of sentences ( edit ) Total number of prisoners on Death Row in the United States from 1953 to 2008 Within the context of the overall murder rate , the death penalty can not be said to be widely or routinely used in the United States ; in recent years the average has been about one death sentence for every 200 murder convictions . Alabama has the highest per capita rate of death sentences . This is because Alabama was one of the few states that allowed judges to override a jury recommendation in favor of life imprisonment , a possibility it removed in March 2017 . Among states ( edit ) The distribution of death sentences among states is loosely proportional to their populations and murder rates . California , which is the most populous state , has also the largest death row with over 700 inmates . Wyoming , which is the least populous state , has only one condemned man . But executions are more frequent ( and happen more quickly after sentencing ) in conservative states . Texas , which is the second most populous state of the Union , carried out over 500 executions during the post-Furman era , more than a third of the national total . California has carried out only 13 executions during the same period , and has carried out none since 2006 . Among races ( edit ) Main article : Race and capital punishment in the United States African Americans made up 41 % of death row inmates while making up only 12.6 % of the general population . They have made up 34 % of those actually executed since 1976 . However , this is an under - representation relative to the proportion of convicted murderers ; 52.5 % of all homicide offenders between 1980 and 2008 were African Americans . According to a 2003 Amnesty International report , blacks and whites were the victims of murder in almost equal numbers , yet 80 % of the people executed since 1977 were convicted of murders involving white victims . Approximately 13.5 % of death row inmates are of Hispanic or Latino descent , while they make up 17.4 % of the general population . Among sexes ( edit ) As of October 1 , 2016 , the Death Penalty Information Center reports that there are only 54 women on death row . This constitutes 1.86 % of the total death row population . 16 women have been executed since 1976 , while 1442 men have been executed . 15,391 total confirmed lawful executions have been carried out in the US since 1608 , and of these , 575 , or 3.6 % , were women . Women account for 1 / 50 death sentences , 1 / 67 people on death row , and 1 / 100 people whose executions are actually carried out . The states that have executed the most women are California , Texas and Florida . For women , the racial breakdown of those sentenced to death is 21 % black , 13 % Latina , 2 % American Indian , 61 % white and 3 % Asian . Methods ( edit ) Usage of lethal injection in the US . State uses only this method . State uses this method primarily but also has other methods . State once used this method , but does not today . State once adopted this method , but dropped before its use . State has never adopted this method . Number of executions each year by the method used in the United States and the earlier colonies from 1608 to 2004 . The adoption of electrocution caused a marked drop off in the number of hangings , which was used even less with the use of gas inhalation . After Gregg v. Georgia , most states changed to lethal injection , leading to its rise . All 31 states with the death penalty provide lethal injection as the primary method of execution . Some states allow other methods than lethal injection , but only as secondary methods to be used merely at the request of the prisoner or if lethal injection is unavailable . Several states continue to use the historical three - drug protocol : an anesthetic , pancuronium bromide a paralytic , and potassium chloride to stop the heart . Eight states have used a single - drug protocol , inflicting only an overdose of a single anesthetic to the prisoner . While some state statutes specify the drugs required , a majority do not , giving more flexibility to corrections officials . Pressures from anti-death penalty activists and shareholders have made it difficult for correctional services to get the chemicals . Hospira , the only U.S. manufacturer of sodium thiopental , stopped making the drug in 2011 . In 2016 , it was reported that more than 20 U.S. and European drug manufacturers including Pfizer ( the owner of Hospira ) had taken steps to prevent their drugs from being used for lethal injections . Since then , some states have used other anesthetics , such as pentobarbital , etomidate , or fast - acting benzodiazepines like midazolam . Many states have since bought lethal injection drugs from foreign furnishers , and most states have made it a criminal offense to reveal the identities of furnishers or execution team members . In November 2015 , California adopted regulations allowing the state to use its own public compounding pharmacies to make the chemicals . In 2009 , Ohio approved the use of an intramuscular injection of 500 mg of hydromorphone ( a 333-fold overdose for an opioid - naïve patient of this narcotic analgesic closely related to and five times stronger than morphine ; this is the equivalent of an entire 50 - ml bottle of Dilaudid HP , the most powerful commercially available form , although the advantage of hydromorphone is its very high solubility allowing for solutions of almost arbitrary concentration ; 500 mg of hydromorphone HCl as pure powder can be dissolved in isotonic saline in volumes as small as under 2 cc ) and a supratherapeutic dose of midazolam as a backup means of carrying out executions when a suitable vein can not be found for intravenous injection . Lethal injection was held to be a constitutional method of execution by the U.S. Supreme Court in two cases : Baze v. Rees ( 2008 ) and Glossip v. Gross ( 2015 ) . Offender - selected methods ( edit ) In the following states , death row inmates with an execution warrant may choose to be executed by : Electrocution in Alabama , Arkansas , Florida , Kentucky , South Carolina , Tennessee and Virginia . Gas inhalation in Arizona and California . Firing squad in Utah . Hanging in Washington . In five states ( Arizona , Arkansas , Kentucky , Tennessee and Utah ) , the alternative method is offered only to inmates sentenced to death for crimes committed prior to a specified date ( usually when the state switched from the earlier method to lethal injection ) . When an offender chooses to be executed by a means different from the state default method , which is always lethal injection , he / she loses the right to challenge its constitutionality in court . See Stewart v. LaGrand , 526 US 115 ( 1999 ) . The last executions by methods other than injection are as follows ( all chosen by the inmate ) : Method Date State Inmate Electrocution 000000002013 - 01 - 16 - 0000 January 16 , 2013 Virginia Robert Gleason Firing squad 000000002010 - 06 - 18 - 0000 June 18 , 2010 Utah Ronnie Lee Gardner Lethal gas 000000001999 - 03 - 03 - 0000 March 3 , 1999 Arizona Walter LaGrand Hanging 000000001996 - 01 - 25 - 0000 January 25 , 1996 Delaware William Bailey Backup methods ( edit ) Depending on the state , the following alternative methods are statutorily provided in the event that lethal injection is either found unconstitutional by a court or unavailable for practical reasons : Electrocution in Florida , Oklahoma , South Carolina and Tennessee . Gas inhalation in Alabama , California , Missouri , Oklahoma and Wyoming . Firing squad in Oklahoma and Utah . Hanging in New Hampshire . Oklahoma is the only state allowing more than two methods of execution in its statutes , providing lethal injection , nitrogen hypoxia , electrocution and firing squad to be used in that order in the event that all earlier methods are unavailable . The nitrogen option was added by the Oklahoma Legislature in 2015 and has never been used in a judicial execution , though it is routinely used to give a painless death in animal euthanasia . Three states ( Oklahoma , Tennessee and Utah ) have added back - up methods recently in 2014 or 2015 ( or have expanded their application fields ) in reaction to the shortage of lethal injection drugs . Some states such as Florida have a larger provision dealing with execution methods unavailability , requiring their state departments of corrections to use `` any constitutional method '' if both lethal injection and electrocution are found unconstitutional . This was designed to make unnecessary any further legislative intervention in that event , but the provision applies only to legal ( not practical ) infeasibility . In May 2016 , an Oklahoma grand jury recommended the state to use nitrogen hypoxia as its primary method of execution rather than as a mere backup , after experts testified that the method would be painless , easy and `` inexpensive '' . Federal executions ( edit ) The method of execution of federal prisoners for offenses under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 is that of the state in which the conviction took place . If the state has no death penalty , the judge must choose a state with the death penalty for carrying out the execution . The federal government has a facility ( at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute ) and regulations only for executions by lethal injection , but the United States Code allows U.S. Marshals to use state facilities and employees for federal executions . Execution attendance ( edit ) The over 200 witnesses to the execution of Timothy McVeigh were mostly survivors and victims ' relatives of the Oklahoma City bombing . The last public execution in the U.S. was that of Rainey Bethea in Owensboro , Kentucky , on August 14 , 1936 . It was the last execution in the nation at which the general public was permitted to attend without any legally imposed restrictions . `` Public execution '' is a legal phrase , defined by the laws of various states , and carried out pursuant to a court order . Similar to `` public record '' or `` public meeting '' , it means that anyone who wants to attend the execution may do so . Around 1890 , a political movement developed in the United States to mandate private executions . Several states enacted laws which required executions to be conducted within a `` wall '' or `` enclosure '' , or to `` exclude public view '' . Most states laws currently use such explicit wording to prohibit public executions , while others do so only implicitly by enumerating the only authorized witnesses . All states allow news reporters to be execution witnesses for information of the general public , except Wyoming which allow only witnesses authorized by the condemned . Several states also allow victims ' families and relatives selected by the prisoner to watch executions . An hour or two before the execution , the condemned is offered religious services and to choose his last meal ( except in Texas which abolished it in 2011 ) . The execution of Timothy McVeigh on June 11 , 2001 , was witnessed by over 200 people , most by closed - circuit television . Public opinion ( edit ) Gallup , Inc. monitors support for the death penalty in the United States since 1937 by asking `` Are you in favor of the death penalty for a person convicted of murder ? '' Gallup surveys document a sharp increase in support for capital punishment between 1966 and 1994 clearly in response to rising violent crime rates during this period ( e.g. Page and Shapiro 1992 . ) However , with the dramatic surge in arguments questioning the fairness of the sentence ( due , in part , to DNA exonerations of death row inmates in the national media in the late 1990s ( Baumgartner , De Boef , and Boydstun 2004 The Decline of the Death Penalty and the Discovery of Innocence ) , support then began to wane , falling from 80 % in 1994 to 66 % in 2000 . Moreover , approval varies substantially depending on the characteristics of the target and the alternatives posed , with much lower support for putting juveniles and the mentally ill to death ( 26 % and 19 % , respectively , in 2002 ) and for the alternative of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole ( 52 % in 2003 ) Gallup 2005 ) . Given the fact that attitudes toward this policy are often responsive to events , to characteristics of the target , and to alternatives , the conventional wisdom -- that death penalty attitudes are impervious to change -- is surely overstated . Accordingly , any analysis of death penalty attitudes must account for the responsiveness of such attitudes , as well as their reputed resistance to change In the October 2016 Gallup poll , 60 % of respondents said they were in favor and 37 % were opposed . Pew Research polls have demonstrated declining American support for the death penalty : 80 % in 1974 , 78 % in 1996 , 55 % in 2014 , and 49 % in 2016 . The 2014 poll showed significant differences by race : 63 % of whites , 40 % of Hispanics , and 36 % of blacks , respectively , supported the death penalty in that year . A 2010 poll found that 61 % of voters would choose a penalty other than the death sentence for murder . When persons surveyed are given a choice between the death penalty and life without parole for persons convicted of capital crimes , support for execution has traditionally been significantly lower than in polling that asks only if a person does or does not support the death penalty . In 2010 , for instance , a Gallup poll that offered a choice showed 49 % favoring the death penalty , and 46 % favoring life imprisonment . On the other hand , in November 2009 , another Gallup poll found that 77 % of Americans say that September 11 attacks ' mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should get the death penalty if convicted , including 12 who normally opposed the death penalty when asked the 1937 question . A similar result was found in 2001 when respondents were polled about the execution of Timothy McVeigh for the Oklahoma City Bombing that killed 168 victims . Debate ( edit ) The Morality , Ethicality and Effectiveness of Capital Punishment Main article : Capital punishment debate in the United States Capital punishment is a controversial issue , with many prominent organizations and individuals participating in the debate . Amnesty International and other groups oppose capital punishment on moral grounds . Some law enforcement organizations , and some victims ' rights groups support capital punishment . The United States is one of three developed countries , that still practice capital punishment , along with Japan , Singapore . Religious groups are widely split on the issue of capital punishment . The Fiqh Council of North America , a group of highly influential Muslim scholars in the United States , has issued a fatwa calling for a moratorium on capital punishment in the United States until various preconditions in the legal system are met . In October 2009 , the American Law Institute voted to disavow the framework for capital punishment that it had created in 1962 , as part of the Model Penal Code , `` in light of the current intractable institutional and structural obstacles to ensuring a minimally adequate system for administering capital punishment '' . A study commissioned by the institute had said that experience had proved that the goal of individualized decisions about who should be executed and the goal of systemic fairness for minorities and others could not be reconciled . As of 2017 , 159 prisoners have been exonerated due to evidence of their innocence . Advocates of the death penalty say that it deters crime , is a good tool for prosecutors in plea bargaining , improves the community by eliminating recidivism by executed criminals , provides `` closure '' to surviving victims or loved ones , and is a just penalty . The murder rate is highest in the South ( 6.5 per 100,000 in 2016 ) , where 80 % of executions are carried out , and lowest in the Northeast ( 3.5 per 100,000 ) , with less than 1 % of executions . A report by the US National Research Council in 2012 stated that studies claiming a deterrent effect are `` fundamentally flawed '' and should not be used for policy decisions . According to a survey of the former and present presidents of the country 's top academic criminological societies , 88 % of these experts rejected the notion that the death penalty acts as a deterrent to murder . ( Radelet & Lacock , 2009 ) Data shows that the application of the death penalty is strongly influenced by racial bias . Furthermore , some opponents argue that it is applied in an arbitrary manner by a criminal justice system that has been shown to be biased through the systemic influence of socio - economic , geographic , and gender factors . Another argument in the capital punishment debate is the cost . Various commentators predicted that the death penalty would likely have disappeared in the United States if Hillary Clinton had been elected U.S. President in November 2016 and allowed to appoint a liberal Supreme Court Justice to replace the late Antonin Scalia . Because Donald Trump won and citizens in three states voted the same day for ballot measures supporting capital punishment , columnists came to the conclusion that it will remain indefinitely . Clemency and commutations ( edit ) The largest number of clemencies was granted in January 2003 in Illinois when outgoing Governor George Ryan , who had already imposed a moratorium on executions , pardoned four death - row inmates and commuted the sentences of the remaining 167 to life in prison without the possibility of parole . When Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation abolishing the death penalty in Illinois in March 2011 , he commuted the sentences of the fifteen inmates on death row to life imprisonment . Previous post-Furman mass clemencies took place in 1986 in New Mexico , when Governor Toney Anaya commuted all death sentences because of his personal opposition to the death penalty . In 1991 , outgoing Ohio Governor Dick Celeste commuted the sentences of eight prisoners , among them all four women on the state 's death row . And during his two terms ( 1979 - 1987 ) as Florida 's Governor , Bob Graham , although a strong death penalty supporter who had overseen the first post-Furman involuntary execution as well as 15 others , agreed to commute the sentences of six people on the grounds of doubts about guilt or disproportionality . Execution hiatus ( edit ) All executions were suspended through the country between September 2007 and April 2008 . At that time , the U.S. Supreme Court was examining the constitutionality of lethal injection in Baze v. Rees . This was the longest period with no executions in the United States since 1982 . The Supreme Court ultimately upheld this method in a 7 - 2 ruling . In addition to the states that have no valid death penalty statute , the following states and jurisdictions are noted that have an official moratorium , or have had no executions for more than ten years , as of 2018 : State / Jurisdiction Status Hiatus status Federal de facto No executions since 2003 Military de facto No executions since 1961 Arizona by Attorney General In 2014 , Attorney General indefinitely stayed executions California de facto No executions since 2006 Colorado by Governor In 2013 , Governor set a moratorium Kentucky by court order In 2009 , a federal judge suspended executions pending a new protocol Montana by court order In 2015 , a federal judge ruled the state 's lethal injection protocol is unlawful , stopping executions Nebraska de facto Last execution took place in 1997 Nevada de facto Last execution in 2006 North Carolina de facto Last execution in 2006 Oklahoma by implementers In 2014 , state Dept. of Corrections recommended an indefinite hold on executions after a botched execution Oregon by Governor In 2011 , Governor announced a moratorium and a review Pennsylvania by Governor In 2015 , Governor announced a moratorium pending review Washington by Governor In 2014 , Governor announced a moratorium and reprieve for new cases Wyoming de facto No executions since 1992 Kansas , New Hampshire , Wyoming , and the U.S. Military have also had no executions for over ten years , but in these states it is because of the lack of death row inmates having exhausted the appeal process . Since 1976 , four states have executed only condemned prisoners who voluntarily waived further appeals : Pennsylvania has executed three inmates , Oregon two , Connecticut one , and New Mexico one . In North Carolina , executions are suspended following a decision by the state 's medical board that physicians can not participate in executions , which is a requirement under state law . In California , United States District Judge Jeremy Fogel suspended all executions in the state on December 15 , 2006 , ruling that the implementation used in California was unconstitutional but that it could be fixed . On November 25 , 2009 , the Kentucky Supreme Court suspended executions until the state adopts regulations for carrying out the penalty by lethal injection . In November 2011 , Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber announced a moratorium on executions in Oregon , canceling a planned execution and ordering a review of the death penalty system in the state . On February 11 , 2014 , Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced a capital punishment moratorium . All death penalty cases that come to Inslee will result in him issuing a reprieve , not a pardon or commutation . On February 13 , 2015 , Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf announced a moratorium on the death penalty . Wolf will issue a reprieve for every execution until a commission on capital punishment , which was established in 2011 by the Pennsylvania State Senate , produces a recommendation . Effectively there was a moratorium in place , as the state had not executed anyone since Gary M. Heidnik in 1999 .

Additionally , the states that carry the highest percent of executions since 1976 are in the southern region of the U.S. at 82 % of the total , while the northern states carry on 1 % of the total ( `` New Report from DPIC Death Penalty Information Center . '' ) . Every year since 1990 those states with capital punishment have held higher murder rates , and `` The Times reports that ten of the twelve states without the death penalty have homicide rates below the national average , whereas half of the states with the death penalty have homicide rates above . '' ( `` Deterrence : States Without the Death Penalty Have Had Consistently Lower Murder Rates Death Penalty Information Center . '' ) Although this outcome can not be explained with a single construct , a contributing factor could be the quality of defense counsel provided to someone charged with murder . For instance , Florida has promised to improve the quality of defense counsel after the execution of 77 death row inmates since 1976 - the most of any state , but have only set aside $400,000 to reopen a single public defender office . ( Emily , `` Two Americas '' ) The reason why there is the increasing use of the death penalty in Florida is that they do n't focus on the quality of provided defense counsel , and to compound the situation the legislature has committed to speed up of the pace of executions . This has led to 34 death row inmates missing the one - year deadline for filing an appeal in federal court and two of these inmates being executed due to this missed legal opportunity . Multiple states of The United States specifically tried shifting the law to limit crimes punishable by death such as in 1682 , in Pennsylvania , only the person who was charged with treason or murder would receive capital punishment . Today only 7 states have performed executions since January 1 , 2014 ( `` States and the Death Penalty '' ) . It is an indication that the decision for killing a person , regardless of their status as a citizen , has increasingly becoming a difficult decision for the U.S. government particularly as they compare themselves to the rest of the world . On November 30 , 1786 , Tuscany , a region in central Italy , was the first modern state to abolish the death penalty . Changing the history of the death penalty was a critical decision that had an impact on the rest of the world , because following that change multiple countries and states around the world abolished the death penalty , such as : France ( October 26 , 1795 ) , Rhode Island ( The first state of United States to abolish the death penalty in 1852 ) , Venezuela ( 1863 ) , Costa Rica ( 1877 ) , Uzbekistan ( 2008 ) , New Mexico State ( March , 2009 ) , Nebraska State ( May , 2015 ) and so on ( 13 Ways of Looking at the Death Penalty , Timeline : From Death to Life ) Human beings are attempting to get rid of the death penalty and it is a similar movement to when people were against slavery and child labor . Getting rid of capital punishment will have a positive effect on the entire world , especially from a moral point of view . Moreover , a lot of countries have already abolished the death penalty , which has proven that current humanity is in favor of a peaceful resolution when addressing punishment for gross criminal offenses in our society .

how many states in america use the death penalty
[ "Capital punishment is a legal penalty in the United States, currently used by 31 states, the federal government, and the military.[1] Its existence can be traced to the beginning of the American colonies. The United States is the only Western country currently applying the death penalty,[2] one of 58 countries worldwide applying it, and was the first to develop lethal injection as a method of execution, which has since been adopted by five other countries.[3]" ]

It ran for 27 episodes on Japan 's TV Tokyo between April 1 , 2007 , and September 30 , 2007 . It was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi , written by veteran playwright Kazuki Nakashima , and had been in development since the participation of the famed animator in the Abenobashi mecha - themed episodes by the same studio . Gurren Lagann takes place in a fictional future where Earth is ruled by the Spiral King , Lordgenome , who forces mankind to live in isolated subterranean villages . The plot focuses on two teenagers living in a subterranean village , Simon and Kamina , who wish to go to the surface . Using a mecha known as Lagann , Simon and Kamina reach the surface and start fighting alongside other humans against Lordgenome 's forces .

These villages have no contact with the surface world or other villages and are under constant threat of earthquakes . Selected villagers called diggers are conscripted to expand their homes deeper underground . Simon , a meek young digger ostracized by his peers , finds solace in his best friend and older brother figure , an eccentric delinquent named Kamina . Kamina encourages Simon to join his gang , Team Gurren , to help him achieve his dream of visiting the surface world . One day , Simon unearths a drill - shaped key called a Core Drill , followed by a small mecha resembling a face called a Gunmen . Shortly thereafter , a huge Gunmen crashes through the ceiling and begins attacking the village , followed by a girl named Yoko , who attempts to repel the Gunmen . Simon uses his Core Drill to activate the smaller Gunmen ( which Kamina names Lagann ) , and it is used to destroy the larger Gunmen and break through to the surface world . Simon and Kamina learn from Yoko that humans on the surface are attacked each day by Gunmen piloted by beastmen , humanoid creatures who serve as Lordgenome 's army . Kamina hijacks a Gunmen and names him Gurren , combining him with Lagann to form the mecha Gurren Lagann . Their actions inspire other humans to steal their own Gunmen and join Team Gurren , which makes Kamina rename it Team Dai - Gurren . Eventually Team Dai - Gurren captures an enemy Gunmen fortress to use as their base of operations , though Kamina is killed in the preceding battle by one of Lordgenome 's four generals . Rossiu , a boy from another village , takes over the job of piloting Gurren , but Kamina 's death causes Simon to sink into depression until he meets Nia , Lordgenome 's daughter . Team Dai - Gurren is initially distrustful of her but allows her to join when it becomes apparent that she was abandoned by her father , like many who came before her . Nia helps Simon come to terms with Kamina 's death , and the rest of Team Dai - Gurren prompt him to take up the role as the team 's leader , leading them and other humans , who captured other Gunmen and Gunmen fortresses , to Lordgenome 's palace . As the palace itself turns out to be a gigantic Gunmen called the Lazengann and launches armies of other Gunmen , the human forces hold them off while Simon , Nia , and Rossiu pilot Gurren Lagann against Lordgenome , who fights them in a similar Gunmen . When both Gunmen are damaged , he himself fights Simon in Lagann with his bare hands . Lordgenome emerges victorious , until Simon uses his Core Drill to defeat him once and for all . Over the next seven years , mankind prospers on the surface world with Simon and the members of Team Dai - Gurren serving as the world 's government . As soon as the world 's population reaches one million people , an alien race called the Anti-Spirals emerges and uses Nia to announce the Moon 's collision with Earth , which will wipe out all life on the planet and prevent them from evolving to such an extent that they will risk destroying the universe in a cataclysmic event called the Spiral Nemesis . With guidance from Lordgenome resurrected as a bio-computer , who was once part of an intergalactic group of warriors who fought the Anti-Spirals and had hidden mankind underground to protect them from the Anti-Spirals , and with help from Viral , an old enemy of Simon who pilots Gurren , Simon , Gurren Lagann and Team Dai - Gurren prevent the Moon 's collision , revealing it to be Lordgenome 's flagship that was reprogrammed by the Anti-Spirals . Using it , they retrieve the real Moon from the pocket dimension where the Anti-Spirals had hidden it and go to the Anti-Spiral homeworld , where after significant loss , they rescue Nia , and after a battle that spans the universe , Simon in Lagann finally destroys the Anti-Spirals . This , however , causes Nia to fade away and die as her own existence is tied to that of the Anti-Spirals . Simon , finding his life in battle over , hands his Core Drill over to Gimmy and spends the rest of his life wandering the planet as a nameless vagrant . In the epilogue , twenty years have passed since the team 's victory over the Anti-Spirals . With many of Team Dai - Gurren retired , it is up to the new generations of pilots to prevent the Spiral Nemesis and ensure the safety of the universe . Other races across the galaxy , freed from the Anti-Spirals , contacts Earth . President Rossiu of Kamina City joins forces with them and during the twenty years , he created the Galactic Spiral Peace Conference . Yoko , now as Miss Yomako , becomes the principal of the small school she was at during her seven years absence from the team . One of her students becomes a representative the galaxy in the Grapearl Squadron . Gimmy , along with Darry and Simon 's Core Drill , become the new pilots of Gurren Lagann . Viral becomes the captain of the Super Galaxy Dai - Gurren and an emissary for Earth . Nia 's grave and the wedding ring are placed next to Kamina 's grave . Simon , still living as Simon the Digger , watches over them as many Grapearls are seen flying over Kamina City . Main characters ( edit ) Main article : List of Gurren Lagann characters Simon ( シモン , Shimon ) Voiced by : Tetsuya Kakihara ( Japanese ) ; Yuri Lowenthal ( English ) Simon is the main protagonist of Gurren Lagann . He is introduced as a fourteen - year - old digger from Giha village who is looked down upon by many of his peers for his timid and weak character . He greatly admires Kamina , one of his few friends in the village , and refers to him as his brother despite them not being related by blood . Simon spends much of the first quarter of the series following after Kamina , but gradually acquires his own fighting spirit and determination over the course of the series , acting on his own more often until his personality mirrors that of Kamina . His discovery of the Core Drill and the Gunmen Lagann are what set the events of the series in motion . Throughout the series , Simon primarily pilots Lagann , which is capable of producing drills from any part of his body when he reacts to Simon 's Spiral energy . He uses this ability to combine with Kamina 's Gunmen , Gurren , to form Gurren Lagann . He can also take control of other Gunmen using this ability . Team Dai - Gurren Kamina ( カミナ ) Voiced by : Katsuyuki Konishi ( Japanese ) ; Kyle Hebert ( English ) Kamina is a refractory youth from Giha village who dreams of leaving his underground home and going to the surface world , which he saw as a child . His extremely passionate and self - confident personality causes him to act as a foil for the more timid and weak - willed Simon , and serves to instill courage within Simon . His actions greatly influence the entire series , as he forms Team Dai - Gurren and acts as his leader to combat the threat of Lordgenome and the beastmen . Early in the series , Kamina hijacks a Gunmen he names Gurren , which he pilots while combined with Simon 's Lagann to form Gurren Lagann . Yoko Littner ( ヨーコ ・ リットナー , Yōko Rittonā ) Voiced by : Marina Inoue ( Japanese ) ; Michelle Ruff ( English ) Yoko is a young woman from Littner , a village neighboring Giha , and is introduced as a member of a small resistance against the beastmen . She helps introduce Simon and Kamina to the surface world , and becomes a member of Team Gurren soon after . She falls in love with Kamina early in the series , and thinks little of Simon until he begins showing signs of self - confidence . After Kamina 's death , she tries to help Simon cope and forms a sisterly relationship with him . Instead of piloting a Gunmen , she wields a high - powered energy rifle and uses her superb marksmanship and wise counsel to help her teammates . Nia Teppelin ( ニア ・ テッペリン , Nia Tepperin ) Voiced by : Yukari Fukui ( Japanese ) ; Hynden Walch ( young ) , Bridget Hoffman ( English ) Nia is a major character introduced later on in the series . Having lived a sheltered life as the daughter of Lordgenome , the main antagonist of the first half of the series , she is ignorant of the war between the humans and Lordgenome until she is abandoned by her father and discovered by Simon . She is a very polite and naive girl who is curious about the world , and acts as a soothing influence for Simon following his depression caused by Kamina 's death . The two fall in love and become engaged at the start of the second half of the series , after which she is discovered to be an agent of the Anti-Spirals . During this time , Nia is taken over by a cold and uncaring personality called `` Messenger Nia '' and forced to fight Simon against her will until Simon rescues her . Because her existence is tied with that of the Anti-Spirals , however , she fades away with them after they are defeated , but keeps herself alive long enough to marry Simon . Production ( edit ) Gurren Lagann was first announced in July 2006 with Aniplex and Konami assisting Gainax in its making . Konami director Koichi Natsume suggested possibilities of the series getting multiple sequels . The series was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi who was a fan of the mecha genre , having previously done animation work for Neon Genesis Evangelion , and ever since he started working he had wanted to work in a mecha series . After working on Re : Cutey Honey with Kazuki Nakashima , Imaishi appointed him as the writer , believing him to be the best choice . Imaishi was surprised with how much material Nakashima could condense into 27 episodes . Imaishi had finished writing the main storyline long before the reaching the end which facilitated the staff in making the episodes . According to Gainax president Hiroyuki Yamaga the series was in planning phases for a long time . Producer Yasuhiro Takeda used the time to research how would the characters live underground although this aspect is briefly used . Once the series started production , the team did not have much time to research materials . In contrast to other popular series , Imaishi decided to include drills as the robot 's main weapons despite its impact on the suspension of disbelief . Imaishi also wanted the series to only have robots . The robots were made organic so that they would be easier to animate . Nevertheless , animating episode 15 was challenging to the staff due to the amount of shots it required . Its animator Sushio called himself the `` super animator '' for his work . Deciding the design of the Gurren Lagann was complicated since it was the basis for the other mechas appearing in the story . In the making of the series , the team wanted to focus more on the underground life and Simon 's imprisonment but their ideas could not be used . In the eighth episode Kamina dies in order to provide Simon character development and make him become the main character . Simon 's development kept on going until the final arc when staff planned ideas to make him surpass Kamina . The ending was written to finalize Simon 's growth and not leave signs of a sequel . The finale had the pre-planned tragic event of Nia 's death which left several staff members saddened . While the staff acknowledged how people were not satisfied with the sad conclusion , they noted that there were still issues that made her survival difficult for the characters . Once the series ended , Yamaga had the idea of releasing a film that retells the events of the series to expand the audience . Influences ( edit ) In an interview , the writer Kazuki Nakashima cites Ken Ishikawa , co-creator of Getter Robo , as one of Gurren Lagann 's influences . Gurren Lagann occasionally pays homage to Ishikawa 's Getter Robo , particularly towards the end of the series , where the scale becomes absurd , with the robots steadily becoming bigger and bigger , much like Getter Robo more specifically , the manga version of Getter Robo Go . The final enemy also bears a striking resemblance to La Gooth of Records of Nothingness , another work by Ishikawa . Nakashima , however , wanted to conclude the story of Gurren Lagann in a more reasonable fashion than what Ishikawa usually does in his works . According to Jason Green from Anime News Network , the anime was influenced by previous Gainax anime , particularly in the character development of the protagonist Simon , who goes through three stages in his character development during the three arcs of the series . Each of these stages in his development were influenced by protagonists from several previous Gainax anime : Shinji Ikari from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise , Noriko Takaya from Gunbuster , and Ken Kubo from Otaku no Video . The animation on the show pays special tribute to the animation and character designs of Yoshinori Kanada . Conflicts ( edit ) Takami Akai , the producer of the series and a co-founder of Gainax , announced that he would resign his position effective episode five , which aired on April 29 , 2007 , over comments that he made regarding posts on the Japanese textboard 2channel . Akai and another Gainax employee , Keiko Mimori , made disparaging remarks about comments criticizing the animation style of the fourth episode of Gurren Lagann , which was completely directed by guest and friend Osamu Kobayashi . With regard to reading the fan criticisms , Akai stated that it was `` like putting ( his ) face next to an anus and breathing deeply . '' Fans later became aware of his comments , and he announced his departure from the company he helped found . As a result of the series airing at a child - friendly time slot , the staff members had problems with episode 6 . Although that episode had a subplot involving peeking into the women 's bath , the television stations believed it was suitable when reading the script . After seeing the finished episode , the station said that it could not be aired , and a revised version of the episode was produced . Media ( edit ) Anime series ( edit ) See also : List of Gurren Lagann episodes Produced by the animation studio Gainax and directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi , Gurren Lagann aired in Japan on TXN stations between April 1 and September 30 , 2007 .

when does the gurren lagann movie take place
[ "Gurren Lagann takes place in a future where Earth is ruled by the Spiral King, Lordgenome, who forces mankind to live in isolated subterranean villages. These villages have no contact with the surface world or other villages and are under constant threat of earthquakes. Selected villagers called diggers are conscripted to expand their homes deeper underground. Simon, a meek young digger ostracized by his peers, finds solace in his best friend and older brother figure, an eccentric delinquent named Kamina. Kamina encourages Simon to join his gang, Team Gurren, to help him achieve his dream of visiting the surface world. One day, Simon unearths a drill-shaped key called a Core Drill, followed by a small mecha resembling a face called a Gunmen.[10][11] Shortly thereafter, a huge Gunmen crashes through the ceiling and begins attacking the village, followed by a girl named Yoko, who attempts to repel the Gunmen. Simon uses his Core Drill to activate the smaller Gunmen (which Kamina names Lagann), and it is used to destroy the larger Gunmen and break through to the surface world." ]

Tylo appeared as a regular continuously until 1994 when she took a hiatus for a few months before being written back into the series . In 1996 , she left the serial after being cast on Melrose Place , where she was soon fired on the grounds of being pregnant , and returned shortly after . In 2002 , Tylo and the show 's executive producer Bradley Bell had mutually agreed that the character was `` played out '' , and Taylor was subsequently killed off , last appearing on October 30 , 2002 .

A Los Angeles - based `` globally renowned '' psychiatrist , Taylor was introduced to facilitate social issues and act as a romantic lead . In her early years , Taylor was characterized as `` pristine '' and `` well - mannered '' , as well as being the `` good girl '' of the show . Most of her history revolved around her relationship with love interest Ridge Forrester . Tylo emerged as a fan favorite in the 1990s , with Ridge and Taylor considered a soap opera supercouple . Taylor rivaled Brooke Logan for Ridge 's affections , with a love triangle between the three becoming a focus on the soap opera for many years . The characters ' rivalry resulted in the `` Brooke and Taylor wars '' among fans , which has split audience opinions . Ridge and Taylor were married twice , and had three children : a son Thomas , and twin daughters Phoebe ( who died in 2008 ) and Steffy . After Taylor 's apparent death in 2002 , Ridge married Brooke . When Taylor returned in 2005 , she and Ridge had a short - lived reunion before the end of their marriage . Upon her reintroduction , Tylo stated that the character became `` more real '' , experiencing alcoholism and depression . In the years that ensued , she became involved with Ridge 's brother Thorne after accidentally causing the death of his wife in a hit and run accident , and also had short - lived marriages to Nick Marone and Whip Jones . The character relocated to Paris after a brief relationship with Ridge 's father Eric .

Bell introduced the role of psychiatrist Dr. Taylor Hamilton Hayes , played by actress Hunter Tylo , during the episode dated June 6 , 1990 . According to Variety , Bell created Taylor as `` a romantic leading lady but also as a character who could facilitate social issues -- and directly partake in a few , too '' . Previously , Tylo was dismissed from two other soaps , All My Children and Days of Our Lives . The actress noted that her `` crazy sense of humor '' and `` funny business '' could have won her the role of Taylor , and she said : `` After the audition , they told me I was the only one right for the role . I think they liked my ' a woman 's got ta do what a woman 's got ta do ' attitude . '' Sherilyn Wolter temporarily replaced Tylo in 1990 . Tylo vacated the role in May 1994 to pursue other projects , but the soap opera left the door open for her to return , which she did months later . During her absence , the character was presumed to be dead . In March 1996 , following Taylor 's decreased airtime and rumors circulating of her exit , it was confirmed that the actress was to leave The Bold and the Beautiful after her contract expired that June , to pursue a primetime role on the Fox television drama Melrose Place . Taylor 's final appearance was in May 1996 . However , in July 1996 , Tylo was controversially fired from Melrose Place on the grounds of being pregnant and was replaced by Lisa Rinna . In response , she sued that show 's executive producer Aaron Spelling and Spelling Productions for millions of US dollars , and won her case . It was immediately reported that she would return to The Bold and the Beautiful , with head writer and executive producer Bradley Bell issuing the statement : `` I am certain that Hunter 's talent and ability will continue to be an asset to the show . '' In October 2001 , reports surfaced that Tylo was to exit the series again following unsuccessful contract negotiations , although two months later in December she signed a new contract which gave her more flexibility to pursue other projects . In October 2002 , Bradley Bell killed off the character and Tylo 's last appearance was on October 30 , 2002 . In March 2004 , she made a multiple - episode guest appearance as Taylor 's ghost . Following this , she told Soaps in Depth that `` I knew it my heart I would not be going back '' , stating that she wanted to `` let the character go '' . During her time off the show , she had turned down offers to appear on other soaps including As the World Turns . In 2005 , Deanna Barnert of Soap Opera Digest wrote that according to an industry insider , a character from the show `` may come back from the world of the beyond '' , leading fans to speculate whether either Macy Alexander ( Bobbie Eakes ) or Taylor would be returning . Taylor was revealed to be alive , with Tylo returning on - screen during the April 25 , 2005 episode . She was said to be `` having fun surprising her castmates '' with her reappearance on set . The show 's producers wanted to keep her on - screen return a secret , with Tylo wearing a wig when travelling to the set , and the character 's name being changed on scripts . In May 2013 , Tylo announced online that she was exiting the soap , possibly for good . In a post on her website , she wrote : `` For me , contract talks ended 4 weeks ago . I am moving forward and opening back up to the thousands of acting roles available , writing , and persuing ( sic ) my skin care line . My friends and B&B fans will be sorely missed . '' Tylo 's final appearance aired on her birthday : July 3 , 2013 . Dan Kroll of the website Soap Central was shocked by her exit , though felt that a future return was possible , judging from her previous departures . The news of Tylo 's exit came just months after the high - profile departures of Ronn Moss and Susan Flannery from the series . Tylo has since returned to The Bold and the Beautiful for a number of guest appearances . She made a one - episode appearance which aired on February 28 , 2014 . The actress then made several guest appearances in April and May 2014 , for a May sweeps story arc which revisited Taylor 's accidental killing of Darla years earlier , with Darla 's now teen daughter Aly ( Ashlyn Pearce ) struggling to deal with the issue of her mother 's death . Tylo appeared again on November 5 , 12 and 24 2014 . Tylo made a surprise return to The Bold and the Beautiful on April 12 , 2018 . Discussing her secret return to the set , she said : `` It was just so out of the blue ( ... ) They had me hidden away ... I had a code name ... They kept it quiet from everybody . '' Character development ( edit ) Characterization ( edit ) A promotional still of Taylor during her first episode in 1990 . Taylor is a globally renowned psychiatrist and works at the UCLA Medical Center . When she debuted , the character emerged as the `` good girl '' alongside other female characters , but still had a strong demeanor . Network Ten writes : `` This Freudian Doc always seems to lose out to Brooke when it comes to matters of the heart . Taylor is as sophisticated and intelligent as they come , always able to analyze the problems of others , and sometimes even her own . '' The writers wanted Taylor to retain a `` pristine '' and `` well - mannered '' personality , according to Tylo , to contrast her from rival Brooke Logan ( Katherine Kelly Lang ) who was `` feisty and reckless '' , the different facets which attracted Ridge to each of them . However , Tylo criticized a storyline in 2000 where Ridge is tricked into sleeping with his mentally unstable high school lover Morgan DeWitt ( Sarah G. Buxton ) , who becomes pregnant with his child . She said : `` I just wish that Taylor would get a clue , period ! I wish that her psychiatric expertise would kick in already . I mean , she 's retarded ! '' , also observing that the character can be absentminded . In the years following Taylor 's 2005 return , her storylines changed significantly . After Ridge leaves Taylor , she becomes depressed and struggles with alcoholism . Tylo explained how this affected the character : `` The love of her life throws her away after she struggled so hard to come back to him . It was painful and humiliating . That made her more real and now , after everything she 's been through , Taylor gets to be a little manipulative spiteful and even resentful . '' Taylor , who is usually resilient , falls into a tailspin : accidentally killing Darla Forrester ( Schae Harrison ) in a hit and run accident and lying about it , later being arrested for driving under the influence . Tylo confessed , `` These were the kinds of stories I was begging for '' , as she thought `` it was very believable '' . The actress also wanted to portray Taylor as less `` serious '' . Taylor often loses out to Brooke , as Thorne ( Ridge 's brother ) loses out to Ridge . When asked in 2011 where she would like her storyline to go , Tylo said : `` I think we should see Thorne and Taylor get strong and stand up to these people who mowed them down . '' In March 2012 , Tylo said that Taylor is finally learning to pursue what she wants instead of always putting others first . She said , `` In psychology , they tell you to be true to yourself . Maybe she is finally doing that , even though in her moral compass she knows that it is better to put other people first . She has been going after what she wants instead . It is a very good growing place for Taylor to go back to reality and realize that she is not perfect and that she needs to try not looking so perfect so much . '' Between 2014 and 2018 , the character was off - screen , said to be living in Paris , where Tylo felt that she was `` declining '' , noting : `` I think with all she 's been through , she would probably have no choice but to deteriorate . '' Reflecting on Taylor being revealed as Bill Spencer Jr. 's ( Don Diamont ) shooter , Tylo loved `` the idea of a crazy psychiatrist '' , `` I 've always said that Taylor is the good doc who ca n't take her medicine ; that 's how I 've always described her , and this story just gives her so many things to do . '' Relationships ( edit ) Ridge Forrester ( edit ) Taylor and Ridge on their wedding day ( 1992 ) . Taylor 's major love interest is Ridge Forrester ( Ronn Moss ) . The couple faces challenges at first , such as interference from their respective exes , Brooke Logan ( Katherine Kelly Lang ) and Blake Hayes ( Peter Brown ) , and Ridge 's mother , Stephanie Forrester ( Susan Flannery ) , initially disliking Taylor . By July 1991 , John Goudas of The Gadsden Times wrote that Taylor was `` hooked '' by Ridge but was `` no - nonsense '' . Taylor refuses to marry Ridge unless he was serious about the end of his relationship with Brooke ; Goudas noted that Taylor wanted `` insurance '' and deemed her `` upfront '' approach as the `` polar opposite '' to that of Brooke . Ridge and Taylor ultimately marry in 1992 . The actors were under pressure during the shooting of the wedding as it was filmed on the day of the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles . The love triangle between Taylor , Ridge and Brooke continued into Ridge and Taylor 's first marriage . When Brooke has Ridge 's child , Bridget Forrester ( Ashley Jones ) , Taylor helps raise the baby ( although it was later revealed in 1996 that Bridget was fathered by Ridge 's father Eric , not him ) . Speaking on Ridge 's decision to remain married to Taylor , Tylo said that the actors were `` so sick of this triangle '' and revealed : `` One of the things Bradley 's going to do is have Ridge pick Taylor over Brooke . For a change , instead of women breaking couples up or getting pregnant to trap a man , we 're going to see how couples work through their problems . '' After Taylor is presumed dead in a plane crash in 1994 only to return months later , Tylo felt that Taylor would be feeling `` quite cheated '' by Ridge marrying Brooke , and joked that `` Taylor was n't even cold yet '' . Ridge and Taylor divorce , although soon become involved once more , and get back together when Ridge finds out that he fathered Taylor 's son , Thomas Forrester ( Adam Gregory ) . Ridge and Taylor remarry on June 24 , 1998 . Despite Ridge and Taylor 's remarriage , Brooke continues her attempts at winning Ridge back . Stephanie encourages Taylor to see Brooke 's intent , with Tylo observing : `` It was so obvious she was going after Ridge . How can you explain away that she always kept ending up in the elevator in her bra and underwear over and over again ? Stephanie 's whole mission was to get Taylor to smell the coffee and ( realize ) that not everybody has as altruistic an agenda as she does . '' Ridge and Taylor 's twins , Stephanie ( `` Steffy '' ) and Phoebe , are born in 1999 . During the pregnancy Taylor experiences tuberculosis after interacting with a man who has it . Her pregnancy becomes high risk and she refuses treatment to protect the babies . Tylo said that this was `` a great way to bring awareness about the disease and the threat it poses to pregnant women '' . When Taylor dies in 2002 , supervising producer Rhonda Friedman noted that Ridge refuses to accept the `` horrible reality '' , saying : `` He begs Taylor to come back to him . He just does n't want to let go of this woman who he has loved for so many years , someone he say himself growing old with . '' Devin Owens of Soap Opera Digest called Taylor Ridge 's soulmate . Taylor 's `` ghost '' visits Ridge in 2004 and encourages him to be with Brooke . Following Taylor 's return to the show , her marriage to Ridge fell apart in 2006 and they divorce . They have since reunited on several occasions but he continues going back to Brooke , despite Taylor 's efforts to thwart this from happening . Daytime Confidential 's Jamey Giddens noted that Steffy and Thomas `` grew up watching their daddy basically climb out of their mom 's bed and right into the sack with Rick ( Jacob Young ) and Hope 's ( Kimberly Matula ) mom , over and over again . '' Other relationships ( edit ) Taylor has been romantically linked to Ridge 's half - brother Thorne ( Winsor Harmon ) multiple times . They were briefly involved from 1997 to 1998 , when Ridge is in jail and urges Taylor to forget about him . Taylor also briefly lies about Thorne being Thomas ' father . After accidentally killing Thorne 's wife Darla in 2006 , Taylor falls in love with Thorne , who is `` forgiving and loving '' towards her , even helping her attend AA . They nearly marry , but split up due to his then 4 - year - old daughter Alexandria Forrester learning that Taylor killed Darla . Of working with Tylo , Harmon said , `` I am so comfortable with Hunter . We have that ( comfort ) around each other , and when that happens as an artist , you are allowed to open up more and there is more spontaneity . '' Thorne and Taylor later become involved again in 2011 , when they team up against the Forresters for mistreating them . Tylo said : `` ( Taylor ) probably equally feels that Thorne deserves to have a shot at Forrester in the driver 's seat . Taylor does not like the way Brooke has been running everything through Ridge . '' However , Tylo saw that there was a `` sticky point '' between them because of Darla , and noted that Taylor `` would do anything to make up for that '' . The actress said , `` I think it 's very cool that there is so much history behind the two characters . First of all , it does not seem like a sexually based relationship . So I think the audience can appreciate it and go , ' Wow . I can understand these two emotionally bonding , ' and then let it grow into something that does n't look forced . '' In 2008 , Taylor becomes involved with Brooke 's son , the much younger Rick Forrester ( Kyle Lowder ) , who was previously in a relationship with Phoebe . Lowder described playing the storyline as `` challenging '' and one that `` stirs the pot '' . It began after Tylo and Lowder were tested for chemistry in scenes . When the news of Rick and Taylor becoming closer reaches Brooke and Ridge , they both protest against it ; Tylo described this as `` two pots calling the kettle black '' . Brooke accuses Taylor of being with Rick as a form of revenge against her , and enlists Phoebe 's help in stopping the relationship . Tylo told Soap Opera Digest that Taylor 's revenge is `` a subconscious thing '' , explaining : `` Taylor sort of feels like Brooke stole her child , so this is kind of retribution . Taylor is like , ' Well then I 'll take your kid ' . '' Phoebe accepts Rick and Taylor being together , wanting both of them to be happy and giving Taylor the `` green light she was looking for '' . Lowder believed that the tables were turning on Brooke , and said `` now Brooke 's son is in love with ( Taylor ) , and she 's in love with him -- and it 's legit ( ... ) Taylor wins , Brooke loses -- and Brooke 's going crazy '' . Rick and Taylor get engaged but she ends the relationship due to her feelings for Ridge . Taylor becomes involved with Whipple `` Whip '' Jones III ( Rick Hearst ) through internet dating , in 2009 . Tommy Garret of Canyon News said that Whip and Taylor 's `` chemistry is magnificent '' . Whip was previously involved with Brooke ; Garret wrote : `` Now he 's in love with Brooke 's mortal enemy Taylor Hayes Forrester ... Hearst is magnificently suited for the role and fans want to see Whip and Taylor find happiness . At least for a few months . '' Of their romance , Tylo said : `` I think Taylor has found true love with Whip . I think if she was a smart psychiatrist , and able to apply her knowledge in her own world , she would be with Whip . She would know this is a healthy relationship . But Taylor does n't see it . She still wants to fix people . '' Taylor and Whip marry in April 2010 . Whip becomes jealous when Taylor admits to Stephanie that she still has feelings for Ridge . Whip 's frustration with Taylor 's feelings for Ridge leads to the demise of their relationship the following year , and they end the marriage . Rivalry with Brooke , and baby Jack ( edit ) Beginning in 1990 , Brooke ( Katherine Kelly Lang ) and Taylor would fight over Ridge 's affection for years . In 2013 , Tylo revealed that she and Lang would distance themselves from each other to make their on - screen rivalry convincing : `` We can not look comfortable with each other . We need to look like we are in a place of competition . '' In 2007 , Brooke and Taylor 's rivalry intensified when Brooke begins pursuing Nick Marone ( Jack Wagner ) while he is married to Taylor . Soap Opera Digest noted that the women were `` crossing swords once again for the same man '' . Tylo observed that both Brooke and Taylor were being written with `` more intelligence '' this time around , and was happy in revisiting the rivalry between them as `` long as it was n't over Ridge '' again . Taylor becomes pregnant with Nick 's child through In vitro fertilisation ( IVF ) , having struggled to conceive a child , and gives birth to Jack Marone . However , because of a mistake that Bridget had made in the lab , it was Brooke 's eggs which were implanted in Taylor and not the donor 's ; making Brooke Jack 's biological mother . She fears that her baby will be drawn to Brooke . Taylor begins drinking and becomes mentally unstable , with her parental rights being taken away . The scenes where Taylor loses custody and suffers a breakdown in court were filmed shortly after Tylo 's own son died . Tylo told On - Air On - Soaps : `` I got a lot of emails from people worrying . They would go from worrying about me to saying , ' Was I okay with those scenes and after them ? ' '' The actress said that she tapped into her own tragedy when portraying those scenes , and allowed herself to feel the `` feeling that will never go away which is , ' It 's not fair ' '' . Taylor is soon awarded joint custody of Jack when she passes a mental health evaluation . However , she can not bond with him and ends up giving Jack to Brooke in the end . In 2010 , Lang and Tylo recreated a 1983 lily pond cat - fight between Krystle Carrington and Alexis Colby in the drama Dynasty , shooting the scenes in a koi pond at the CBS Studios . Tommy Garrett of Canyon News said the `` two Mrs. Ridge Forresters '' had escalated to `` all out war '' . After Stephanie 's death , Taylor and Brooke 's animosity against one another reignites as Taylor grows closer to Eric in 2013 . Tylo said that `` When Brooke and Taylor go at it , it really gets a lot of people wound up . I said this brings the show around full circle with everything Stephanie was fighting for , and now the battle has been set for these two to really go at it . '' Departure ( 2002 ) ( edit ) `` Taylor either needed to die or she needed to go berserk and lose her mind or something , which I think would have made a lot of people mad . '' Tylo explaining why her character was killed off ( 2004 ) In October 2002 , it was announced that Bradley Bell had decided to kill off Taylor , and Tylo would depart the role after twelve years . In a statement on her website , she wrote : `` It is with great sadness I have to tell you that Brad has decided to kill off the character Taylor . He feels the character is too good and has too much integrity to take her down other paths -- in a word , played out . '' The actress confessed that she was unhappy with her character 's direction at the time of her exit , saying : `` I really felt like Taylor had lost the wind from her sails and was going nowhere . '' Tylo said that `` It just seemed like everything had to do with whether or not there was a woman after her husband '' and that she was `` done with it '' , revealing that her unhappiness with the writing began when the character of Morgan appeared on the show . Furthermore , both Tylo and Bell agreed that Taylor was at a `` brick wall '' , but Bell was `` afraid to go beyond that '' and have the character go `` off the deep end '' , in fear of destroying her integrity . However , Tylo believed that `` in reality that 's what she needed -- to be more human . But she just got boring instead '' . Taylor is gunned down by Sheila Carter ( Kimberlin Brown ) and appears to die in hospital a few days later due to her injuries . Tylo eventually returned to the soap , with Taylor revealed to be alive in 2005 . Reception ( edit ) After three years in the role , Tylo had become a fan favorite with viewers . Marla Hart of the Chicago Tribune noted that she fit in well with the show 's `` signature glamor casting '' . Discussing Tylo 's 1994 temporary exit , Kathleen Sloan of the Toronto Star observed that `` fans of the soap could n't have been more open - mouthed '' over the matter . In 2004 , Soaps In Depth called Taylor `` daytime 's sexiest shrink '' . Tommy Garret of Canyon News described Taylor as being the `` epitome of grace and dignity '' . The character appeared on the Spartanburg Herald - Journal in an article titled `` Stars with 9 Lives : Death is Not Forever in Soaps '' after her airplane crash in 1994 resulted in her assumed death . Debashine Thangevelo of Independent Online observed , `` Tylo is an actress who wields as much influence in the world of soaps as Taylor Hayes in The Bold and the Beautiful . Having inhabited this role for almost two decades , barring a sabbatical , she has made an indelible impression on viewers . '' Chris Eades of CBS Soaps In Depth noted that `` Fans were absolutely stunned '' by the `` all - too - rare surprise '' of Taylor 's 2018 return , writing : `` With Steffy in desperate need of support , it was the perfect time for Taylor to return to town and offer her daughter some help . '' Reacting to Taylor being revealed as Bill 's shooter , Canyon News wrote : `` Tylo delivered some riveting scenes , as a mother concerned about her daughter 's well - being '' , stating that her return `` causes all types of problems which make for interesting TV '' . For her portrayal of Taylor , Tylo was nominated for `` Favorite Hottest Female Star '' at the 1995 Soap Opera Digest Awards , however Kristina Wagner of General Hospital won . Tylo was nominated for the same award at the 1999 Soap Opera Digest Awards ( Days Of Our Lives star Kristian Alfonso won that year ) . The actress received a Telvis Award for Foreign Female TV Performer ( Finnish : Ulkomainen naisesiintyjä ) in 2002 for the role . Daily Mail described the Brooke , Ridge and Taylor love triangle as `` epic '' . Widely famed , the triangle was seen by Soap Opera Digest as one of the genre 's greatest during the early 1990s . In 1991 , John Goudas of The Gadsden Times felt that `` So far , Taylor has viewer sympathy '' in the triangle , but also wrote : `` we do n't see Dr. Taylor Hayes do much practicing , or ever see her making hospital rounds . Air time means time with Ridge or with ex-husband Blake . So much for medicine . '' In 2008 , Darren Lomas from Daytime Confidential noted that the `` Taylor and Brooke wars have lasted for two decades . Even when Taylor was taking a dirt nap , fan messageboards still buzzed with Taylor and Brooke fans taking swipes at each other . '' Tommy Garrett recognized Brooke and Taylor the queen of soap opera cat - fights and noted that `` at least half of the show 's fans '' had supported Taylor in the love triangle . Ridge and Taylor are considered a soap opera supercouple and are referred to by the portmanteau `` Tridge '' on social media . Speaking on the beginning of the relationship , Michael Idato of The Sydney Morning Herald wrote , `` Taylor was Caroline 's doctor , which made her affair with Ridge , as the bleep bleep machine was flatlining , slightly inappropriate . But then , nothing in daytime soap opera is ever appropriate . '' Their 1992 wedding was ranked at number 18 by The Huffington Post on a list of the `` Top 20 Most Memorable Soap Weddings of All Time '' . Michael Fairman referred to Taylor and Thorne as `` the screwed - over couple of B&B '' .

The show revolves around contestants competing to identify accurate pricing of merchandise to win cash and prizes . Contestants are selected from the studio audience when the announcer proclaims the show 's famous catchphrase , `` Come on down ! '' The program premiered on September 4 , 1972 on CBS . Bob Barker was the series ' longest - running host from its 1972 debut until his retirement in June 2007 , when Drew Carey took over . Barker was accompanied by a series of announcers , beginning with Johnny Olson , followed by Rod Roddy and then Rich Fields . In April 2011 , George Gray became the announcer . The show has used several models , most notably Anitra Ford , Janice Pennington , Dian Parkinson , Holly Hallstrom and Kathleen Bradley . While retaining some elements of the original version of the show , the 1972 version has added many new distinctive gameplay elements . The Price Is Right has aired over 8,000 episodes since its debut and is one of the longest - running network series in United States television history . In a 2007 article , TV Guide named The Price Is Right the `` greatest game show of all time . '' The show 's 46th season premiered on September 18 , 2017 .

One bid ( edit ) At the beginning of the show , four contestants are called from the audience by the announcer to take a spot on the front row behind bidding podiums , which are embedded into the front edge of the stage . This area is known as `` Contestants ' Row '' . The announcer shouts `` Come on down ! '' after calling each selected contestant 's name , a phrase which has become a trademark of the show . The four contestants in Contestants ' Row compete in a bidding round to determine which contestant will play the next pricing game ( the round is known as `` One Bid , '' which gets its name and format from one of two types of bidding rounds that existed on the 1950s version of the show ) . A prize is shown and each contestant gives a single bid for the item . In the first One - Bid game of each episode , bidding begins with the contestant on the viewer 's left - to - right . In subsequent One - Bid rounds , the order of bidding still moves from the viewer 's left - to - right , but it begins with the contestant most recently called down . Contestants are instructed to bid in whole dollars since the retail price of the item is rounded to the nearest dollar and another contestant 's bid can not be duplicated . If a contestant thinks the others have overbid , he or she bids $1 on the item . The contestant whose bid is closest to the actual retail price of the prize without going over wins that prize and gets to play the subsequent pricing game . If all four contestants overbid , short buzzer tones sound , the lowest bid is announced and the bids are erased . The host then instructs the contestants to re-bid below the lowest previous bid . If a contestant bids the actual retail price , a bell rings and the contestant wins a cash bonus in addition to the prize . From the introduction of the bonus in 1977 until 1998 , the `` perfect bid '' bonus was $100 ; it was permanently increased to the current $500 in 1998 . On The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular , the bonus was $1,000 . After each pricing game , another contestant is called to `` come on down '' to fill the spot of the contestant that won the previous round . The newest contestant bids first in each One Bid round . Contestants who fail to win a One Bid round -- thus never making it onstage to play a pricing game -- receive consolation prizes , currently $300 , often sponsored by companies revealed by the announcer near the end of the show , before the Showcase . Pricing games ( edit ) See also : List of The Price Is Right pricing games After winning the One Bid , the contestant joins the host onstage for the opportunity to win additional prizes or cash by playing a pricing game . After the pricing game ends , a new contestant is selected for Contestants ' Row and the process is repeated . Six pricing games are played on each hour - long episode ; three games per episode were played in the original half - hour format . Pricing game formats vary widely , ranging from simple dilemma games in which a contestant chooses one of two options to win to complex games of chance or skill in which guessing prices increases the odds of winning . On a typical hour - long episode , two games are played for a car , one game is played for a cash prize and the other three games offer expensive household merchandise or trips . Usually , at least one of the six games involves the pricing of grocery items , while another usually involves smaller prizes that can be used to win a larger prize package . Originally , five pricing games were in the rotation . Since then , more games have been created and added to the rotation and , starting with the 60 - minute expansion in 1975 , the rate at which games premiered increased . Some pricing games were eventually discontinued , while others have been a mainstay since the show 's debut in 1972 . As of 2017 , the rotation is among 77 games . On the 1994 syndicated version hosted by Doug Davidson , the rules of several games were modified and other aesthetic changes were made . Notably , the grocery products used in some games on the daytime version were replaced by small merchandise prizes , generally valued at less than $100 . Beginning in 2008 , episodes of The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular featured rule changes to some pricing games which rewarded a $1 million bonus to the contestant if specific goals were achieved while playing the pricing game . Showcase Showdown ( edit ) `` Showcase Showdown '' redirects here . For the band , see Showcase Showdown ( band ) . Since the show 's expansion to 60 minutes in 1975 , each episode features two playings of the Showcase Showdown , occurring after the third and sixth pricing games . Each playing features the three contestants who played the preceding pricing games spinning `` The Big Wheel '' to determine who advances to the Showcase , the show 's finale . The contestants play in the order of the value of his or her winnings thus far ( including the One Bid ) , with the contestant who has won the most spinning last . The wheel contains 20 sections showing values from 5 ¢ to $1.00 , in increments of five cents . Contestants are allowed a maximum of two spins . The first contestant spins the wheel and may choose to stop with his or her score or spin again , adding the value of the second spin to their first . The second contestant then spins the wheel and tries to match or beat the leader 's score ; if he or she fails to do so , the contestant must spin again . If the second contestant 's first spin matches or beats the score of the first contestant , he or she has the option of stopping or spinning again . The third contestant then spins ; if his or her score is less than the leader then he or she will be required to spin again . In the event the second or third contestant 's first spin ties the score of the leader , he or she will be given the option of spinning again as an alternative to entering a `` spin - off '' as described below . If their total score of any contestant is less than that of the current leader , is beaten by the score of any subsequent contestant , or over $1.00 , the contestant is eliminated from the game . The contestant whose score is nearest to $1.00 without going over advances to the Showcase at the end of the episode . Any spin that fails to make at least one complete revolution does not count ; the contestant is given the opportunity to spin again , and if the contestant has visible difficulty in physically performing the task , the host can assist them . If the first two contestants both spin twice and go over $1.00 , the last contestant automatically advances to the Showcase and is given only one spin to determine their score ; this is to ensure that a contestant advances to the showcase , avoiding a potential `` triple over '' scenario in which no one would advance . Any contestant whose score equals $1.00 ( from either the first spin or the sum of two spins ) receives a $1,000 bonus and , since December 1978 , is allowed a bonus spin . The contestant wins an additional $10,000 for landing on either 5 ¢ or 15 ¢ ( which are adjacent to the $1.00 space and painted green ) , or an additional $25,000 for landing on $1.00 . From December 1978 to September 22 , 2008 , the bonuses were $5,000 and $10,000 for landing on a green section and the $1.00 , respectively . If the wheel stops on any other amount or fails to make at least one revolution , the contestant wins no more money . The wheel is positioned on 5 ¢ prior to the bonus spin so that it can not land on a winning prize without making a complete revolution . Two or more contestants who are tied with the leading score compete in a `` spin - off '' . Each contestant is allowed one additional spin and the contestant with the higher score advances to the Showcase . Multiple spin - offs are played until the tie is broken . Those who hit $1.00 in their spin - off spin still get $1,000 and a bonus spin . If two or more contestants tie with a score of $1.00 , their bonus spins also determine their spin - off score . Only the spin - off score , not any bonus money won , determines which contestant moves on to the Showcase ; thus , a person who wins the $10,000 bonus for landing on 15 ¢ would still lose the spin - off if their opponent lands on 20 ¢ or more . A tie in a bonus spin spin - off means the ensuing second spin - off will be spun with no bonuses available . Each spin must make one complete revolution in order to qualify . If a player 's bonus spin spin - off does not make a complete revolution , the contestant must spin again , and the spin will be scored as in a second round of a spin - off ( no bonuses ) . The Showcase ( edit ) At the end of the episode , the two contestants with the highest winnings , or since 1975 on hour - long episodes , the two Showcase Showdown winners , advance to the Showcase . A `` showcase '' of prizes ( currently two or three prizes ) is presented and the top winner has the option of placing a bid on the total value of the showcase or passing the showcase to the runner - up , who is then required to bid . A second showcase is then presented and the contestant who had not bid on the first showcase makes his or her bid . Unlike the One Bid , the contestant bidding on the second showcase may bid the same amount as their opponent on the first showcase , since the two contestants are bidding on different prize packages . The contestant who has bid nearer to the price of their own showcase without going over wins the prizes in his or her showcase . Any contestant who overbids is disqualified regardless of their opponent 's result . A double overbid results in neither contestant winning a showcase . Since 1974 , any contestant who comes within a specified amount from the actual retail price of their own showcase without going over wins both showcases . Until 1998 , the amount was less than $100 . In 1998 , it became the current $250 or less . Personnel ( edit ) Hosts ( edit ) Bob Barker ( host from September 1972 to June 2007 ) Drew Carey ( host since October 2007 ) Bob Barker began hosting The Price Is Right on September 4 , 1972 and completed a 35 - year tenure on June 15 , 2007 . Barker was hired as host while still hosting the stunt comedy show Truth or Consequences . His retirement coincided with his 50th year as a television host . His final show aired on June 15 , 2007 and was repeated in primetime , leading into the network 's coverage of the 34th Daytime Emmy Awards . In addition to hosting , Barker became Executive Producer of the show in March 1988 when Frank Wayne died and continued as such until his retirement , gaining significant creative control over the series between 2000 and his 2007 retirement . He also was responsible for creating several of the show 's pricing games , as well as launching The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular primetime spin - off . Reruns of Barker 's final season were aired throughout the summer from the Monday after his final show ( June 18 , 2007 ) until the Friday before Drew Carey 's debut as host ( October 12 , 2007 ) , when the season 35 finale was re-aired . During his time as host , Barker missed only one taping of four episodes ; Dennis James , then hosting the syndicated nighttime version of the show , filled in for him on these shows in December 1974 . After he became a noted animal rights advocate in 1981 shortly after the death of his wife Dorothy Jo , Barker signed off each broadcast , informing viewers with the public service message , `` Help control the pet population : have your pets spayed or neutered . '' Carey continued the tradition upon becoming the new host . On October 31 , 2006 , Barker announced that he would retire from the show at the end of season 35 . In March 2007 , CBS and FremantleMedia began a search for the next host of the show . Carey , who was hosting Power of 10 at the time , was chosen and , in a July 23 , 2007 interview on Late Show with David Letterman , made the announcement . Carey 's first show aired October 15 , 2007 . Barker has made several guest appearances since Carey took over as host : on the April 16 , 2009 episode to promote his autobiography , Priceless Memories ; on the December 12 , 2013 , as part of `` Pet Adoption Week '' that coincided with his 90th birthday ; and on the episode which aired on April Fools ' Day in 2015 , hosting the first One Bid and pricing game as part of April Fool 's Day . The 2013 April Fools ' show featured Carey and announcer George Gray modeling the prizes while the show 's models performed hosting and announcing duties for the day . On the April Fools ' Day episode in 2014 , Craig Ferguson , Carey 's former castmate from The Drew Carey Show , and Shadoe Stevens hosted and announced , swapping places with Carey and Gray respectively , who performed the same roles on the previous night 's episode of The Late Late Show . Announcers ( edit ) Johnny Olson , the announcer for many Goodson - Todman shows of the era , was the program 's original announcer until his death in October 1985 . Olson was replaced by Rod Roddy in February 1986 , who remained with the program until shortly before his death in October 2003 . Los Angeles meteorologist Rich Fields took over as the announcer in April 2004 and stayed on until the end of season 38 in August 2010 . Following a change of direction and a search for an announcer with more experience in improvisational comedy , veteran TV host George Gray was confirmed as the show 's current announcer on the April 18 , 2011 episode . After Olson 's and Roddy 's deaths in 1985 and 2003 , respectively and Fields ' departure in 2010 , a number of announcers auditioned before a permanent replacement was hired . In addition to Roddy , Gene Wood , Rich Jeffries , and Bob Hilton auditioned to replace Olson . Former Family Feud announcer Burton Richardson , Paul Boland , and former Supermarket Sweep announcer Randy West substituted for Roddy during his illnesses . In addition to West and Richardson , Daniel Rosen , Art Sanders , Roger Rose , Don Bishop and current Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton also auditioned for the role eventually filled by Fields . Richardson substituted for Fields while he recovered from laryngitis in December 2006 . In addition to Gray , TV host JD Roberto , comedians Jeff B. Davis , Brad Sherwood , and David H. Lawrence XVII , and actor / comedian Steve White also auditioned for the role . Models ( edit ) Main article : The Price Is Right models To help display its many prizes , the show has featured several models who were known , during Barker 's time on the show , as `` Barker 's Beauties '' . Some longer - tenured Barker 's Beauties included Kathleen Bradley ( 1990 -- 2000 ) , Holly Hallstrom ( 1977 -- 1995 ) , Dian Parkinson ( 1975 -- 1993 ) , and Janice Pennington ( 1972 -- 2000 ) . Pennington and Bradley were both dismissed from the program in 2000 , allegedly because they had given testimony on Hallstrom 's behalf in the wrongful termination litigation she pursued against Barker and the show . Following the departures of Nikki Ziering , Heather Kozar and Claudia Jordan in the 2000s , producers decided to use a rotating cast of models ( up to ten ) until the middle of season 37 , after which the show reverted to five regular models . Since March 2008 , the models include Rachel Reynolds , Amber Lancaster and Gwendolyn Osbourne ; Manuela Arbeláez joined the cast in April 2009 , replacing Brandi Sherwood and James O'Halloran joined the cast in December 2014 . Carey does not use a collective name for the models , but refers to them by name , hoping that the models will be able to use the show as a `` springboard '' to further their careers . In a change from previous policy , the models appearing on a given episode are named individually in the show 's credits and are formally referred as `` The Price Is Right models '' when collectively grouped at events . Since season 37 , the show often uses a guest model for certain prizes , often crossing over from another CBS property or come courtesy of the company providing the prize . Some such models have been male , especially for musical instruments , tools , trucks and motorcycles , and used in guest appearances during the Showcase . Owing to the traditionally female demographic of daytime television shows , along with the pregnancies of Reynolds and Osbourne , CBS announced that the game show would add a male model for a week during season 41 , fitting with other countries with the franchise that have used an occasional male model . The show held an internet search for the man in an online competition that featured Mike Richards , the show 's executive producer , Reynolds , Lancaster , Osbourne and Arbeláez serving as judges and mentors during the web series , narrated by Gray . Viewers selected the winner in October 2012 . On October 5 , 2012 , CBS announced that the winner of the male model online competition was Rob Wilson of Boston , Massachusetts . Wilson appeared as a model on episodes through April 15 , 2014 . This contest was scheduled to be repeated in 2014 , with auditions taking place during the FIFA World Cup break between May and July 2014 . On December 8 , 2014 , CBS announced that the winner of the second male model online competition was James O'Halloran . Production staff ( edit ) The game show production team of Mark Goodson and Bill Todman was responsible for producing the original as well as the revival versions of the game show . Goodson - Todman staffer Bob Stewart is credited with creating the original version of The Price Is Right . Roger Dobkowitz was the producer from 1984 to 2008 , having worked with the program as a production staffer since the show 's debut after graduating from San Francisco State University . Occasionally , Dobkowitz appeared on - camera when answering a question posed by the host , usually relating to the show 's history or records . When he left the show at the end of season 36 , Variety reported that it was unclear whether he was retiring or was fired , although Carey indicated in a later interview with Esquire that Dobkowitz was fired . As of 2011 , the show uses multiple producers , all long - time staffers . Adam Sandler ( not to be confused with the actor ) is the producer of the show . Stan Blits , who joined the show in 1980 and Sue MacIntyre are the co-producers . Kathy Greco joined the show in 1975 and became producer in 2008 ; she announced her retirement October 8 , 2010 on the show 's website , effective at the end of the December 2010 tapings . Her last episode as producer , which aired January 27 , 2011 , featured a theme in tribute to her . The show 's official website featured a series of videos including an interview with Greco as a tribute to her 35 years in the days leading up to her final episode . Frank Wayne , a Goodson - Todman staffer since the 1950s , was the original executive producer of the CBS version of the show . Barker assumed that role after Wayne 's death in March 1988 , as previously stated . Previous producers have included Jay Wolpert , Barbara Hunter and Phil Wayne Rossi ( Wayne 's son ) . Michael Dimich assumed the director 's chair in June 2011 . Marc Breslow , Paul Alter , Bart Eskander and Rich DiPirro each served long stints previously as director . Former associate directors Andrew Felsher and Fred Witten , as well as technical director Glenn Koch , have directed episodes strictly on a fill - in basis . Sandler began directing episodes in 2012 , and became the official director in 2013 . Aside from Barker , the show 's production staff remained intact after Carey became host . FremantleMedia executive Syd Vinnedge was named the program 's new executive producer , with Richards becoming co-executive producer after Dobkowitz 's departure . Richards was a candidate to replace Barker as host in 2007 , before Carey was ultimately chosen . Richards succeeded Vinnedge as executive producer when the 2009 -- 10 season started , with Tracy Verna Soiseth joining Richards as co-executive producer in 2010 . Vinnedge remains credited as an executive consultant to the show . Production ( edit ) Audience and contestant selection ( edit ) Many audience members arrive early on the day of a taping , and often camp out the night before to attend . Most have already received tickets for that day 's show , although some hope to get same - day tickets . Audience members are then given the iconic name tags with a temporary identification number , which is also written on the person 's ticket . A Social Security Number ( or some national I.D. number for non-U.S. audience members ) is also required to be submitted . Audience members are eventually brought through in groups of twelve for brief interviews with the production staff . Contrary to popular belief , contestant names are not chosen at random ; rather , the interviews determine possible selections for the nine contestants per taping from among the pool of approximately 325 audience members . Since 1988 , the minimum age for audience members has been 18 ; prior to 1988 , teenagers and children as young as 12 were present in the audience . With few exceptions , anyone at least 18 years old who attends a taping of the show has the potential to become a contestant . Those ineligible include current candidates for political office , employees of CBS Corporation or its affiliates , RTL Group or any firm involved in offering prizes for the show . Contestants who have appeared on a different game show within the previous year or either two other game shows or any version of The Price Is Right itself within the past ten years are also ineligible . The show 's staff alerts potential contestants -- in person , on the show 's website and on the tickets themselves -- to dress in `` street clothes '' and not to wear costumes , such as those used to attract attention on Let 's Make a Deal , another show that featured contestants selected from the audience . Those who have attended tapings in June 2008 noted that producers disallowed audience members from wearing fake eyeglasses designed to look similar to those worn by Carey , a restriction that has since been relaxed . Instead , contestants will often wear shirts with hand - decorated slogans . Members of the Armed Forces are often in uniform . Cell phones , tape recorders , backpacks , price lists and portable electronic devices are not allowed in the studio . Prospective contestants obtain tickets by contacting a third - party ticketing operator via the show 's website , which is promoted on - air during the broadcast . Prior to 2011 , ticketing was directly through CBS , originally via mail , with online ticket access added in 2005 . The mail practice ended after CBS began outsourcing ticketing to the third - party operator . Occasionally , episodes are taped with special audience restrictions . For Memorial Day in 1991 , an episode was taped with an audience composed entirely of those who had served in the Armed Forces . Similar primetime episodes were taped in 2002 , honoring each branch of the United States military and a sixth episode honoring police officers and firefighters . An annual military episode has been taped starting Season 38 in 2008 , originally on Veteran 's Day , but moved in Season 41 ( 2013 ) to Independence Day , features an all - military audience , a Marine band playing the winner 's service anthem , and contestants being called by rank . The 2008 episode contained a unique rule in which each One Bid featured one contestant from the Army , Navy , Air Force and Marines , and One Bid winners also won a $1,000 gift card . As each contestant won his / her way onstage , he / she was replaced by a member of the same branch of service . Most civilian attendees were retired or disabled veterans or family members of military . The 2009 version eliminated the service member from the same branch replacing another after advancing from Contestants ' Row rule . Additionally , members from the United States Coast Guard were invited to the show . Beginning in 2009 , some episodes have featured special themes with two contestants competing as teams , such as married or engaged couples for Valentine 's Day and the `` Ultimate Wedding Shower '' episode . There have also been episodes with children who are minors ( normally not allowed to compete ) teamed with a parent ( for Mother 's Day and Father 's Day ) or grandparent ( for Grandparents Day ) , as well as teen drivers and students for `` Ultimate Spring Break '' and `` Back to School '' . In these cases the adult player ( not the minor ) must make all final decisions in the game play , such as when calling numbers or prices . Two taped episodes had to be replaced as a contestant was related to a CBS employee and therefore ineligible to be on the show . The other contestants who appeared on that episode were awarded their prizes , but the episode was never aired and can not be shown because of policies imposed by Barker over prizes on the show . There have been similar instances over the years of ineligible contestants appearing on stage , but these individuals were not edited out of the final broadcast since it was discovered in post-production . Usually , these episodes air with a disclaimer from the announcer added in post-production that one of the contestants was found ineligible ( not specifying which one ) . Standards and Practices guidelines for game shows state that if an ineligible contestant wins a One - Bid and the other contestants on Contestants ' Row at the time do not win a subsequent One - Bid , they are not considered to have made an appearance on the show and are immediately eligible again once the error has been discovered . Taping ( edit ) Except for the 30th Anniversary Special , which was taped at Harrah 's Rio in Las Vegas , Nevada , The Price Is Right has been taped in Studio 33 in CBS Television City in Hollywood , California for its entire run . The studio , which is also used for other television productions , was renamed the Bob Barker Studio in the host 's honor on the ceremonial 5,000 th episode taped in March 1998 . When Carey became host , there was talk of the show traveling in the future . The program is usually produced in about an hour , although if there is a guest involved , some tapings will last longer because of question and answer sessions by the audience and the guest , which the host usually moderates . Two episodes are usually taped each day , normally with three taping days per week ( Monday through Wednesday , with one episode taped at 12 : 00 pm and another at 4 : 00 pm ) . The program is taped in advance of its airdate . For example , the show broadcast on February 28 , 2008 was taped on January 16 . As with many other shows that start production in the summer , the lead time varies during the season , as many as fifteen weeks to as little as one day . The audience is entertained by the announcer before taping begins and in case of guests , the guest will answer questions from the audience . After the taping session , there is a drawing for a door prize . On some episodes , all members of the audience receive a prize from a sponsor or celebrity guest ; those prizes are usually mentioned in the Showcase ( such as a complimentary slice of Papa John 's Pizza , an NHL Winter Classic game puck , a couples ' gift box from Hershey 's or a book authored by a guest ) . Television and Internet viewers have also been directed to the show 's official website to enter a drawing for a similar prize offered to all viewers or another prize related to the special offer ( such as the Rock of Ages signed CD ) . Some episodes are taped `` out - of - order '' so that a specific episode will air after other episodes have aired . Notably , the Christmas Week episodes are usually taped in early December outside of the regular rotation . An episode may be taped out - of - order if a prize package reflects a trip to an event that is taking place close to the date that episode will air ( primarily with CBS properties such as the Academy of Country Music Awards , NCAA Men 's Division I Basketball Championship , and various NFL on CBS games , most notably CBS Super Bowl years since Carey took over , but other games are offered ) . Other episodes may be aired out - of - order because of game - related incidents or situations beyond the network 's control . Most episodes which have aired out of order have occurred when the show is taped far in advance , but in the time between the show taping and its airdate , a natural disaster took place at the trip venue . This happened in June 2005 with episodes that featured trips to New Orleans ( which was later struck by Hurricane Katrina ) , with airdates moved to May and June 2006 and again in April 2010 with episodes that featured trips to Nashville , Tennessee ( due to the May 2010 Tennessee floods ) , with airdates moved to September 2010 . Production company ( edit ) The version of the series that began in 1972 was originally `` A Mark Goodson -- Bill Todman Production '' in association with CBS . After Todman died in July 1979 , the unit became known as simply Mark Goodson Productions and was announced as such on The Price Is Right from 1984 to June 2007 . Today , the series is produced by FremantleMedia and copyrighted by The Price Is Right Productions , Inc. , a joint venture of RTL Group and CBS . For the sake of tradition and through special permission from RTL 's subsidiary FremantleMedia , the show continued to use the Mark Goodson Productions name , logo and announcement at the end of each episode until Barker 's retirement , even after FremantleMedia purchased and absorbed the Goodson - Todman holdings . The show is now credited as a FremantleMedia production . Broadcast history ( edit ) The Price Is Right premiered on September 4 , 1972 at 10 : 30 am ET ( 9 : 30 CT ) on CBS , one of three game shows to debut that day , the other two being The Joker 's Wild at 10 : 00 am ET and Gambit at 11 : 00 am ET . The show was first billed as The New Price Is Right to distinguish itself from the earlier / original version ( 1956 -- 65 ) hosted by Bill Cullen , but it proved so popular in its own right that , in June 1973 , the producers decided to drop the word `` New '' from its title . On March 26 , 1973 , CBS moved The Price Is Right to 3 : 00 pm ET , pairing it with Match Game as part of what became the highest - rated pairing in daytime . The show remained in that time slot until August 11 , 1975 when it permanently returned to the morning lineup at 10 : 30am ET . During one week ( September 8 -- 12 , 1975 ) , the show bumped Gambit off as it experimented with sixty - minute episodes . The result of the experiment led to the permanent expansion on November 3 , 1975 , moving its start time to 10 : 00 am EST . On March 7 , 1977 , The Price Is Right moved back to 10 : 30am and remained there until April 23 , 1979 , when it assumed its 11 : 00 am EST slot , where it has been since then . The format of the show has since remained virtually unchanged . New pricing games are generally added each year , while others are removed . In addition , prizes and pricing games have kept pace with inflation , with games originally designed for four - digit prices of prizes ( most often cars ) to be adjusted to allow for five - digit prices . While the set has been redesigned and upgraded , the show maintained a similar aesthetic element from its premiere in 1972 . In season 36 , CBS began offering full episodes of the show available for free viewing on the network 's website . The show also began broadcasting in high definition with The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular primetime specials ( the normal daytime version continued to air in 4 : 3 standard definition ) . The show made the full transition to HD broadcasts beginning with season 37 . During the weeks of September 28 , 2009 , September 20 and October 4 , 2010 , two new episodes aired each weekday on CBS . In 2009 , the additional episodes filled a gap between the cancellation of the daytime drama Guiding Light and the debut of Let 's Make a Deal . In 2010 , the extra episodes aired between the cancellation of As the World Turns and the debut of The Talk . The intervening week offered a second episode of Let 's Make a Deal . The 2009 second episode aired in the time slot vacated by Guiding Light at 10 : 00 am or 3 : 00 pm ET / PT , depending on the affiliate 's choice . In 2010 , the second episode aired in the former As the World Turns time slot , at 2 : 00 pm ET / PT . Syndicated Productions ( edit ) Three syndicated versions of The Price Is Right have aired . The first two followed the same format as the half - hour daytime version but were intended to air on most stations in the early evening in the pre-prime time slot , and as such they were referred by the announcer as `` the nighttime Price Is Right . '' 1972 -- 1980 ( edit ) Dennis James hosted the original nighttime syndicated version of The Price Is Right from 1972 to 1977 . A weekly syndicated version debuted the week after the daytime show and continued to air until September 1980 . It was distributed by Viacom Enterprises , which had started as the syndication arm of CBS . When Mark Goodson devised the revival of Price for the 1972 -- 73 season , it was intended for a nighttime broadcast under new rules for early - prime syndication and Goodson named Dennis James to host the show . ( When CBS commissioned a new daily daytime version , Goodson also wanted James to host the show , but CBS wanted Barker , who was hosting Truth or Consequences at the time , to take it . Barker offered to compromise by hosting The Joker 's Wild , but CBS again insisted Barker host Price instead . ) James eventually hosted a taping day ( four half - hour episodes ) of the daytime show in December 1974 when Barker fell ill and was unable to participate in the episode tapings . The two versions were largely similar at the beginning , as both were called The New Price Is Right . Some games had rule differences because of the larger budget and less commercial time on the nighttime show ; for example , Double Prices was played for two prizes instead of one . This version retained the 1972 half - hour format for its entire run and never adopted the daytime show 's Double Showcase rule or the Showcase Showdown added to the daytime format when it expanded to an hour in 1975 . As of season two , the word `` New '' was dropped from the program 's name . It was titled The Price Is Right ( as the daytime show was by this time as well ) , often referred to on the air as `` the nighttime Price Is Right . '' In most of the U.S. , stations carried the syndicated Price as one of several weekly programs aired in one of the time slots in the hour before prime time which were created by the 1971 FCC Prime Time Access Rule . Though the nighttime version originally had higher ratings , by 1975 , the ratings started to drop . After the fifth nighttime season in 1977 , when the contract with NBC 's owned and operated stations ended , James ' contract was not renewed . CBS ' owned and operated stations picked the show up and the decision was made to hire Barker , whose Truth or Consequences was taped two years ahead and had stopped production in 1975 . The series taped its 300th and final episode on March 12 , 1980 and was canceled after weekly syndicated game shows had fallen out of popularity in favor of daily offerings ( such as Family Feud , which expanded to daily syndication the same year The Nighttime Price Is Right ended ) . With a run of eight seasons , it was one of the longest - running weekly syndicated game shows of the era and the longest - running regularly scheduled prime - time version of Price ( the 1957 -- 1964 run was seven seasons ) . 1985 -- 86 ( edit ) Five years later , veteran host Tom Kennedy starred in a new daily syndicated version , which also used the traditional half - hour format and was syndicated by The Television Program Source . Like the previous syndicated series , this version had a slightly larger budget than its daytime counterpart . A perfect bid during the One - Bids won that contestant a $500 bonus ( compared to $100 awarded on the daytime show during the same period ) ; this bonus would permanently carry over to the daytime show in 1998 . This version used the same models as the daytime show as well as announcer Johnny Olson , who as noted above died during the season . Unlike the daytime series , which employed a series of guest announcers until a permanent replacement was decided upon , the syndicated series brought Gene Wood in to fill in for Olson . When the daytime series decided on Rod Roddy as the permanent replacement for Olson , he took over the syndicated series from Wood as well . Like its predecessor , this syndicated edition of Price was intended to be aired in the Prime Time Access slots on local stations . However , local stations found themselves bombarded with game shows and other series looking for spots on stations in an increasingly crowded market . This often resulted in shows like Price airing anywhere that they could be fit into a station 's programming lineup , such as in the early morning period or in late - night slots . As a consequence , the show would not be able to find its intended audience and the ratings reports would reflect this . Price was no exception , as many of the stations that bought the series placed it in these less desirable slots and the show could not find a foothold against the popular shows of the day , such as the runaway success of the syndicated Wheel of Fortune . Compared to some of the other shows on the market during this period , Price was a modest success , but it did not meet the very high expectations stations and producers had for the series . As a result , the show was not renewed beyond its first season . A total of 170 episodes were produced , and they aired in first - run from September 9 , 1985 to May 30 , 1986 . During the six years it held the rights to Price , the Kennedy version is the only one of the three syndicated versions that was rerun by GSN . The New Price Is Right ( edit ) Main article : The New Price Is Right ( 1994 game show ) Eight years after the cancellation of Kennedy 's Price Is Right , a new syndicated version premiered on September 12 , 1994 , hosted by Doug Davidson and distributed by Paramount Domestic Television . This series featured several significant changes : eliminating Contestants ' Row , a different format for the Showcase Showdown , a Showcase featuring only one contestant , a completely different set and a much larger budget ( even when compared to the two previous syndicated runs ) that gave contestants the potential to win up to five times what they could win on the daytime show . However , this version found even more trouble finding an audience than the two previous syndicated series did and ended its run on January 27 , 1995 , after only 16 weeks of first - run shows . Several stylistic elements of this series , as well as many of its music cues , were later integrated into both the daytime version and nighttime specials . CBS primetime specials and series ( edit ) CBS attempted to break NBC 's dominance of Thursday night prime time by The Cosby Show and Family Ties with a six - episode summer series , The Price Is Right Special , beginning in August 1986 . On August 23 , 1996 , CBS aired an hour - long 25th Anniversary Special , using the half - hour gameplay format and featuring a number of retrospective clips . The 30th Anniversary Special was recorded at Harrah 's Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and aired on January 31 , 2002 . This one - time road trip enticed 5,000 potential contestants to line up for 900 available tickets , causing an incident that left one person injured . A second six - episode primetime series saluting various branches of the United States armed forces , police officers and firefighters aired during the summer of 2002 , as a tribute to the heroes of the terrorist attacks of 2001 . During the series The Price Is Right Salutes , spinning $1.00 in a bonus spin during the Showcase Showdown was worth $100,000 instead of the usual $10,000 . The success of the primetime series , which aired mostly in the summer , along with the rise of `` million dollar '' game shows , led to CBS launching another primetime series in 2003 , titled The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular . The 2007 -- 08 Writers Guild of America strike and original success in the Nielsen ratings led CBS to commission ten more episodes of the primetime series . This series introduced set changes as the show was broadcast in high definition television for the first time and the set used for these episodes ( except for the black floor ) was moved to the daytime show in 2008 . On the primetime series , larger and more expensive prizes were generally offered than on the daytime show . The Showcase frequently offered multiple or very - expensive cars . In the first sixteen $1,000,000 Spectaculars all hosted by Barker , the payoff for landing on the $1.00 during a bonus spin in the Showcase Showdown was increased to $1 million . Beginning with the seventh special , if nobody had received a bonus spin in either Showcase Showdown , the winner of the Showcase received one bonus spin for a chance at $1 million . If both contestants overbid , an audience member was chosen at random to spin the wheel . This rule was later changed so that in the event of a double overbid , the contestant who overbid by the lower amount received the bonus spin for a chance at $1 million . The million - dollar spin was eliminated in 2008 , and instead contestants were given two ways to winning the prize . One pricing game per episode was selected as a `` million - dollar game '' , with a secondary objective needing to be met in order for the contestant to win the money . Contestants were also awarded the million dollar bonus if they managed to win both Showcases , and the range the players had to come within was initially increased to $1,000 , then reduced to $500 . This format lasted one season ( 2008 ) , which was made as replacement programming . On February 12 , 2016 , CBS announced that it would air three primetime Price is Right specials themed around its reality show franchises The Amazing Race , Big Brother , and Survivor along with the appearance of their respective hosts from all three franchises Phil Keoghan , Julie Chen and Jeff Probst . The episodes featured fans of the three programs playing alongside past participants from them . The specials were filmed in March 2016 , and aired over three consecutive nights , May 23 -- 25 , 2016 . Gameshow Marathon ( edit ) On May 31 , 2006 , The Price Is Right was featured on the series Gameshow Marathon , one of seven classic game shows hosted by talk show host and actress Ricki Lake . This version combined aspects of the Barker and Davidson versions with the celebrity contestants playing three pricing games , followed by a Showcase Showdown where the two contestants with the highest scores moved on to the Showcase . The winner of the Showcase also earned a spot in Finalists ' Row . This version was announced by Fields and taped in Studio 46 . It also marked the first Price Is Right episode directed by DiPirro , who replaced Eskander as the director on the daytime show in January 2009 . Reality web show spinoffs ( edit ) Road to Price ( edit ) Road to Price is a six episode reality documentary show aired on the now - defunct CBS Innertube from September 20 to 27 in 2006 . The program featured nine teenage boys driving to Los Angeles in a refurbished mini-school bus as they leave their hometown of Merrimack , New Hampshire in order to be on The Price is Right . The episode of The Price is Right featuring the cast aired September 27 , 2006 . The Price Is Right male model search ( edit ) Five episodes aired on their official website priceisright.com from October 27 to November 11 , 2014 . The series was created in order to replace the first male Price model Rob Wilson as he pursued an acting career in the online version of the ABC daytime soap opera All My Children . During the webisode series , hopeful contestants attempt to be selected as the next male model . Judges included Mike Richards , Manuela Arbeláez , Amber Lancaster , Gwendolyn Osborne - Smith , Rachel Reynolds , Rob Wilson and former Miss America Shanna Moakler . The three finalists appeared on the CBS daytime talk show The Talk . Online voting determined the winner , and James O'Halloran became the newest cast member . He began appearing with the episode which aired December 15 , 2014 . Documentary film ( edit ) Perfect Bid : The Contestant Who Knew Too Much was released on October 13 , 2017 and was directed by CJ Wallis and was produced by FortyFPS Productions and MK Ultra Productions , this documentary explores how contestant Ted Slauson became adept at memorizing the prices of the prizes and products on the show since its inception in 1972 by culminating with Slauson helping a contestant bid perfectly on a showcase in 2008 which resulted in one of the biggest controversies in game show history that was covered by Time , Esquire , TMZ and more . It also featured guest appearances by Bob Barker , Roger Dobkowitz , Kevin Pollak and Drew Carey . Prizes ( edit ) As of November 2009 , the show had given away approximately $250 million in cash and prizes . Furs have not been offered as prizes since Barker 's tenure as host ( although wool and leather are now permitted ) . Several Barker - imposed prohibitions have been lifted since his departure , such as offering products made of leather or leather seats in vehicles and showing simulated meat props on barbecues and in ovens . The show has also offered couture clothing and accessories , featuring designers such as Coach Inc. , Louis Vuitton and Limited Brands in an attempt to attract a younger demographic , as well as backyard play equipment such as JumpSport Trampolines and electronics such as smartphones , personal computer systems , video game systems and entertainment centers . Other prizes which have frequently appeared on the show since its beginnings include automobiles , furniture , trips and cash . The most expensive prize offered on this version of the show was a Ferrari 458 Italia Spider sports car , priced at $285,716 , that appeared on the April 25 , 2013 episode during `` Big Money Week '' . The prize was offered during the 3 Strikes pricing game . Prior to this , the most expensive prize was a Tesla Roadster ( valued at $112,845 ) , featured on the April 22 , 2010 episode in the pricing game Golden Road . Automobiles ( edit ) Since the show 's debut , automobiles have been a signature prize on The Price Is Right . Most hour - long episodes have two pricing games that are each played for an automobile and in most episodes ( although not all ) , at least one showcase will include an automobile . For special episodes , such as the 5,000 th episode , there will often be more cars offered . From 1991 to 2008 , almost all automobiles offered on the show were made by companies based in the United States , specifically Detroit 's Big Three ( although cars made by these companies ' foreign subsidiaries or in a joint - venture with a foreign company were also offered ) . The move was made by Barker , in his capacity as executive producer , as a sign of patriotism during the first Iraq war in 1991 and as a show of support to the American car industry , which was particularly struggling at that time . When Chrysler merged with German automaker Daimler - Benz in 1998 to form Daimler Chrysler AG ( now simply Daimler AG after Chrysler split from the automaker ; Chrysler is now controlled by Italian automaker Fiat ) , the foreign ownership of Chrysler did not affect carrying any Chrysler - related models . Since Barker 's retirement , cars made by foreign companies have been offered , most notably Honda , which has several factories throughout Ohio ( the home state of Carey and then - announcer Fields ) . Through product placement , certain episodes in 2008 and 2009 featured Honda as the exclusive automobile manufacturer for vehicles offered on that episode . The major European ( Volkswagen , BMW , Daimler , Fiat and Volvo ) and Asian ( Hyundai - Kia , Toyota , Mitsubishi , Mazda , Nissan and Honda ) manufacturers have all provided cars on the show since the ban was lifted , with premium foreign cars almost exclusively used for games that generally offer higher - priced cars , such as Golden Road and 3 Strikes . Starting around 2010 , vintage and classic cars have occasionally been offered as prizes for games which do not involve pricing them . Among them have been a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 1964 Bentley S3 . These cars are usually offered in games where their prices are irrelevant to gameplay , such as Hole in One and Bonus Game . Winnings records ( edit ) The record for the largest individual total in cash and prizes on a daytime episode is held by Christen Freeman . On the October 28 , 2016 episode , which aired during Big Money Week , Freeman won $210,000 in cash during a playing of Cliff Hangers . During the episode , game rules were modified to offer a top prize of $250,000 , which was reduced by $10,000 for every step the mountain climber took . In addition to her One Bid prize and an additional $1,000 won during the Showcase Showdown , Freeman 's grand total was $212,879 . The record for winnings on the primetime show is currently held by Adam Rose . On February 22 , 2008 , the first The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular episode since Carey became host , Rose won $20,000 playing Grand Game and won both showcases , which included a Cadillac XLR convertible in his own showcase and a Ford Escape Hybrid in his opponent 's showcase , plus a $1 million bonus for being within $1,000 of the actual retail price of his own showcase , bringing his total to $1,153,908 . Terry Kniess holds the record for the closest bid on a showcase without going over , guessing the exact price of the showcase he was given . Kniess , an avid viewer of the show , recorded and watched every episode for four months prior to when he and his wife had tickets to attend in September 2008 . Kniess learned that many prizes were repeatedly used ( always at the same price ) and began taking notes . Kniess was selected as a contestant on September 22 , 2008 , lost his pricing game ( the only contestant to do so that episode ) , made it to the final showcase and guessed the exact amount of $23,743 for his showcase . Many show staffers , including Carey , were worried that the show was rigged and that Kniess was cheating . Kniess later explained that he had seen all three items of the showcase before and knew the general prices in the thousands . The 743 he used because it was his PIN , based on his wedding date and his wife 's birth month . Carey attributed his subdued reaction to the perfect bid by saying , `` Everybody thought someone had cheated . We 'd just fired Roger Dobkowitz , and all the fan groups were upset about it ... I remember asking , ' Are we ever going to air this ? ' And nobody could see how we could . So I thought the show was never going to air . I thought somebody had cheated us , and I thought the whole show was over . I thought they were going to shut us down , and I thought I was going to be out of a job . '' Kniess later defended his actions , claiming that he never cheated , and in the end , was awarded his prizes . ( His feat can be comparable to the actions of Michael Larson , who appeared on the CBS 1980s game show Press Your Luck , and won $110,237 by memorizing the board sequence . ) Reception ( edit ) Awards ( edit ) The Price Is Right has received seven Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Game / Audience Participation Show , in 1988 , 1996 , 1997 , 2004 , 2007 , 2013 and 2016 . Critical reaction ( edit ) The Price Is Right has generally been praised and remained a stalwart in television ratings over its long history . In a 2007 article , TV Guide named the program the `` greatest game show of all time . '' The introduction of the program ushered in a new era of game shows -- moving away from the knowledge - based quiz show format , creating `` a noisy , carnival atmosphere that challenged cultural norms and assumptions represented in previous generations of quiz shows '' . The show 's early reception was not as universally positive , as critics lamented the show 's stark departure from the highbrow norms of the Golden Age of Television ; original nighttime host Dennis James admitted that even his own housekeeper did not watch the show for that reason , but also defended the series , saying `` CBS , who never wanted game shows , just put three game shows on the air , so they know they had better join the fight or lose out , because game shows have a tremendous appeal . The critics will always look down their noses , but you ca n't have The Bell Telephone Hour on and still stay in competition ( ... ) If you want to read books , read books . '' Controversy ( edit ) Lawsuits ( edit ) Since the mid-1990s , the program production company and in some cases the executive producer ( both Barker and Richards , the executive producer since September 2009 ) have been sued by numerous women . Most of the lawsuits involved models and other staff members in cases of sexual harassment , wrongful termination and racial discrimination . Allegations of sexual harassment brought by Parkinson led to Barker calling a press conference to admit a past consensual sexual relationship with her , while denying any harassment and alleging instead that she was only angry with him for calling off the relationship . Barker was widowed in 1981 following the death of his wife , Dorothy Jo . It has also been alleged that Barker and senior staff created a hostile work environment , particularly to those who testified for the plaintiffs suing Barker . Responding to the controversy just before his retirement , Barker told William Keck of USA Today , `` ( The allegations have ) been such a problem . I do n't want to say anything about them . They ( were ) disgusting ; I do n't want to mention them . '' The Barker - era lawsuits , except for one , were settled out of court . After Barker dropped his slander suit against Hallstrom , she eventually countersued and received millions in settlement . There are two lawsuits in litigation : a pregnancy discrimination suit involving Sherwood and a sexual harassment suit involving Lanisha Cole , filed in September 2011 . Plinko board incident ( edit ) The Plinko board is often used by RTL Group - licensed lottery promotions , CBS affiliates and Fremantle 's Ludia video game division to promote the show . For the promotions , two fishing lines ( one on each side of the board , hanging from the side down towards the center slot ) are used to rig the game so the dropped chip always lands in the $10,000 slot . After an advertisement for the show 's Ludia video game was taped , the wires were mistakenly left in place for the 1 : 00 pm taping of The Price Is Right on July 22 , 2008 . As a contestant was playing the game , three consecutive chips she dropped landed in the $10,000 slot . As the fourth chip was being dropped , a co-producer realized that the wires were still in place and stopped the chip as it bounced down the board , informing Carey of the situation . The wires were removed and the entire segment was re-shot for the show from the point where the contestant began dropping chips . CBS Standards and Practices allowed the contestant to keep the $30,000 won prior to the removal of the wires as well as the money won with the five chips after the mistake had been corrected . However , the segment that aired ( when the show was broadcast on December 5 , 2008 ) did not refer to the mistake or the amount of money won prior to the removal of the wires . 40th Anniversary ( edit ) The show aired a 40th Anniversary Special on September 4 , 2012 . The entire audience was made up of former contestants . Barker did not appear , stating that he believed that he had been excluded for criticizing some of the prizes given away after Carey became host , such as a trip to the Calgary Stampede rodeo . Although he did not appear in person , vintage clips of Barker hosting the show were shown during the episode . Barker appeared on the show twice afterwards , once in December 2013 during Pet Adoption Week , celebrating his 90th birthday , and again on April 1 , 2015 as the guest host for the first pricing game , part of an April Fool 's Day storyline involving Carey and Plinko being kidnapped to Let 's Make a Deal . Merchandise ( edit ) The Price Is Right has expanded beyond television to home and casino - based games . DVD release ( edit ) A four - disc DVD box set , titled The Best of `` The Price Is Right , '' was released on March 25 , 2008 . The set features four episodes of the 1956 -- 1965 Bill Cullen series , 17 episodes of the Barker 1972 -- 1975 daytime series and the final five daytime episodes hosted by Barker . In accordance with Barker 's animal - rights wishes , which remain in effect beyond his retirement , any episodes with fur coats as prizes can not be aired or released into home media formats . This includes the first three daytime shows recorded in 1972 , plus most of the 1970s syndicated run . Board games ( edit ) Seven board games have been produced . One of them was a variation of a card game , using prizes and price tags from the 1956 version . The second was based more closely on the original version of the show . Three games were produced during the 1970s by Milton Bradley , with Contestants ' Row , some pricing games and , in the case of the third version , a spinner for the Big Wheel . In the first two versions , decks of cards had various grocery items , small prizes and larger prizes . The third version simply had cards for each game that included ten sets of `` right '' answers , all using the same price choices . The instruction book specified what color cards were necessary for each round . The 1986 version , again by Milton Bradley , was similar in scope to the earlier version , with new prizes and more games , but lacking the Big Wheel , similar to the Davidson version . The instruction book refers to Contestants ' Row as the `` Qualifying Round '' and the pricing games as `` Solo Games . '' The book also instructs players to use items priced under $100 as One Bids . The 1998 version of the game , by Endless Games , was virtually identical to the 1986 release , with the same games , prizes and even the same prices . The only changes were that the number tiles were made of cardboard bits instead of plastic and the cars from the deck of prizes with four - digit prices were removed . The 2004 version , again by Endless Games , was a complete departure from previous home versions . Instead of different prize cards and games , the game consisted of everything needed to play 45 games and enough materials to create all the games not technically included if the `` host '' wished to and knew their rules . The Big Wheel spinner was also restored , this time with the numbers in the correct order . Additionally , the prices , instead of being random numbers that could change each time the game was played , were actual prices taken from episodes of the TV show . To fit everything in the box , grocery items and prizes were listed in the instruction book and games were played on dry erase boards . A spinner determined the game to be played next , although its use was not necessarily required if the `` host '' wished to build his own game lineup .

[ "Except for the 30th Anniversary Special, which was taped at Harrah's Rio in Las Vegas, Nevada, The Price Is Right has been taped in Studio 33 in CBS Television City in Hollywood, California for its entire run.[39] The studio, which is also used for other television productions, was renamed the Bob Barker Studio in the host's honor on the ceremonial 5,000th episode taped in March 1998.[40] When Carey became host, there was talk of the show traveling in the future.[22] The program is usually produced in about an hour, although if there is a guest involved, some tapings will last longer because of question and answer sessions by the audience and the guest, which the host usually moderates.[41] Two episodes are usually taped each day, normally with three taping days per week (Monday through Wednesday, with one episode taped at 12:00 pm and another at 4:00 pm). The program is taped in advance of its airdate. For example, the show broadcast on February 28, 2008 was taped on January 16.[42] As with many other shows that start production in the summer, the lead time varies during the season, as many as fifteen weeks to as little as one day. The audience is entertained by the announcer before taping begins and in case of guests, the guest will answer questions from the audience. After the taping session, there is a drawing for a door prize. On some episodes, all members of the audience receive a prize from a sponsor or celebrity guest; those prizes are usually mentioned in the Showcase (such as a complimentary slice of Papa John's Pizza, an NHL Winter Classic game puck, a couples' gift box from Hershey's or a book authored by a guest).[43] Television and Internet viewers have also been directed to the show's official website to enter a drawing for a similar prize offered to all viewers or another prize related to the special offer (such as the Rock of Ages signed CD). Some episodes are taped \"out-of-order\" so that a specific episode will air after other episodes have aired. Notably, the Christmas Week episodes are usually taped in early December outside of the regular rotation. An episode may be taped out-of-order if a prize package reflects a trip to an event that is taking place close to the date that episode will air (primarily with CBS properties such as the Academy of Country Music Awards, NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship, and various NFL on CBS games, most notably CBS Super Bowl years since Carey took over, but other games are offered). Other episodes may be aired out-of-order because of game-related incidents or situations beyond the network's control. Most episodes which have aired out of order have occurred when the show is taped far in advance, but in the time between the show taping and its airdate, a natural disaster took place at the trip venue. This happened in June 2005 with episodes that featured trips to New Orleans (which was later struck by Hurricane Katrina), with airdates moved to May and June 2006 and again in April 2010 with episodes that featured trips to Nashville, Tennessee (due to the May 2010 Tennessee floods), with airdates moved to September 2010." ]

Depending on its location and strength , a tropical cyclone is referred to by different names , including hurricane ( / ˈhʌrɪkən , - keɪn / ) , typhoon ( / taɪˈfuːn / ) , tropical storm , cyclonic storm , tropical depression , and simply cyclone . A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean and a typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean ; while in the south Pacific or Indian Ocean , comparable storms are referred to simply as `` tropical cyclones '' or `` severe cyclonic storms '' . `` Tropical '' refers to the geographical origin of these systems , which form almost exclusively over tropical seas . `` Cyclone '' refers to their winds moving in a circle , whirling round their central clear eye , with their winds blowing counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and blowing clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere . The opposite direction of circulation is due to the Coriolis effect . Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water . They derive their energy through the evaporation of water from the ocean surface , which ultimately recondenses into clouds and rain when moist air rises and cools to saturation . This energy source differs from that of mid-latitude cyclonic storms , such as nor'easters and European windstorms , which are fueled primarily by horizontal temperature contrasts . Tropical cyclones are typically between 100 and 2,000 km ( 62 and 1,243 mi ) in diameter . The strong rotating winds of a tropical cyclone are a result of the conservation of angular momentum imparted by the Earth 's rotation as air flows inwards toward the axis of rotation . As a result , they rarely form within 5 ° of the equator . Tropical cyclones are also almost completely absent from Earth 's southwestern quartersphere , mainly because the shapes of the African and South American continents permit the Benguela and Humboldt Currents to cover ocean basins as far north as 5 _̊ N with excessively cool water . These powerful cold currents also produce much stronger vertical wind shear in the South Atlantic and Southeast Pacific , which typically prevent tropical depressions and minor storms there from developing into cyclones and prevent even the waters of the Brazil Current from being so hot as analogous western boundary currents or ocean gyres . Also , the African easterly jet and areas of atmospheric instability which gives rise to cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea , along with the Asian monsoon and Western Pacific Warm Pool , are feature of the Northern Hemisphere and Australia . Coastal regions are particularly vulnerable to the impact of a tropical cyclone , compared to inland regions . The primary energy source for these storms is warm ocean waters , therefore these forms are typically strongest when over or near water , and weaken quite rapidly over land . Coastal damage may be caused by strong winds and rain , high waves ( due to winds ) , storm surges ( due to severe pressure changes ) , and the potential of spawning tornadoes . Tropical cyclones also draw in air from a large area -- which can be a vast area for the most severe cyclones -- and concentrate the precipitation of the water content in that air ( made up from atmospheric moisture and moisture evaporated from water ) into a much smaller area . This continual replacement of moisture - bearing air by new moisture - bearing air after its moisture has fallen as rain , may cause extremely heavy rain and river flooding up to 40 kilometres ( 25 mi ) from the coastline , far beyond the amount of water that the local atmosphere holds at any one time . Though their effects on human populations are often devastating , tropical cyclones can relieve drought conditions . They also carry heat energy away from the tropics and transport it toward temperate latitudes , which may play an important role in modulating regional and global climate .

On Earth , the pressures recorded at the centers of tropical cyclones are among the lowest ever observed at sea level . The environment near the center of tropical cyclones is warmer than the surroundings at all altitudes , thus they are characterized as `` warm core '' systems . Wind field The near - surface wind field of a tropical cyclone is characterized by air rotating rapidly around a center of circulation while also flowing radially inwards . At the outer edge of the storm , air may be nearly calm ; however , due to the Earth 's rotation , the air has non-zero absolute angular momentum . As air flows radially inward , it begins to rotate cyclonically ( counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere , and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere ) in order to conserve angular momentum . At an inner radius , air begins to ascend to the top of the troposphere . This radius is typically coincident with the inner radius of the eyewall , and has the strongest near - surface winds of the storm ; consequently , it is known as the radius of maximum winds . Once aloft , air flows away from the storm 's center , producing a shield of cirrus clouds . The previously mentioned processes result in a wind field that is nearly axisymmetric : Wind speeds are low at the center , increase rapidly moving outwards to the radius of maximum winds , and then decay more gradually with radius to large radii . However , the wind field often exhibits additional spatial and temporal variability due to the effects of localized processes , such as thunderstorm activity and horizontal flow instabilities . In the vertical direction , winds are strongest near the surface and decay with height within the troposphere . Eye and Center Play media NASA animation of Hurricane Arthur in 2014 showing rain rates and internal structure from GPM satellite data At the center of a mature tropical cyclone , air sinks rather than rises . For a sufficiently strong storm , air may sink over a layer deep enough to suppress cloud formation , thereby creating a clear `` eye '' . Weather in the eye is normally calm and free of clouds , although the sea may be extremely violent . The eye is normally circular in shape , and is typically 30 -- 65 km ( 19 -- 40 mi ) in diameter , though eyes as small as 3 km ( 1.9 mi ) and as large as 370 km ( 230 mi ) have been observed . The cloudy outer edge of the eye is called the `` eyewall '' . The eyewall typically expands outward with height , resembling an arena football stadium ; this phenomenon is sometimes referred to as the stadium effect . The eyewall is where the greatest wind speeds are found , air rises most rapidly , clouds reach to their highest altitude , and precipitation is the heaviest . The heaviest wind damage occurs where a tropical cyclone 's eyewall passes over land . In a weaker storm , the eye may be obscured by the central dense overcast , which is the upper - level cirrus shield that is associated with a concentrated area of strong thunderstorm activity near the center of a tropical cyclone . The eyewall may vary over time in the form of eyewall replacement cycles , particularly in intense tropical cyclones . Outer rainbands can organize into an outer ring of thunderstorms that slowly moves inward , which is believed to rob the primary eyewall of moisture and angular momentum . When the primary eyewall weakens , the tropical cyclone weakens temporarily . The outer eyewall eventually replaces the primary one at the end of the cycle , at which time the storm may return to its original intensity . Rapid deepening Typhoon Nabi as seen from the International Space Station , on September 3 , 2005 . Main article : Rapid deepening On occasion , tropical cyclones may undergo a process known as rapid deepening , a period in which the minimum sea - level pressure of a tropical cyclone decreases by 42mb in a 24 - hour period . In order for rapid deepening to occur , several conditions must be in place . Water temperatures must be extremely high ( near or above 30 ° C , 86 ° F ) , and water of this temperature must be sufficiently deep such that waves do not upwell cooler waters to the surface . Wind shear must be low ; when wind shear is high , the convection and circulation in the cyclone will be disrupted . Usually , an anticyclone in the upper layers of the troposphere above the storm must be present as well -- for extremely low surface pressures to develop , air must be rising very rapidly in the eyewall of the storm , and an upper - level anticyclone helps channel this air away from the cyclone efficiently . Size Size descriptions of tropical cyclones ROCI Type Less than 2 degrees latitude Very small / midget 2 to 3 degrees of latitude Small 3 to 6 degrees of latitude Medium / Average 6 to 8 degrees of latitude Large Over 8 degrees of latitude Very large There are a variety of metrics commonly used to measure storm size . The most common metrics include the radius of maximum wind , the radius of 34 - knot wind ( i.e. gale force ) , the radius of outermost closed isobar ( ROCI ) , and the radius of vanishing wind . An additional metric is the radius at which the cyclone 's relative vorticity field decreases to 1 × 10 s . On Earth , tropical cyclones span a large range of sizes , from 100 -- 2,000 kilometres ( 62 -- 1,243 mi ) as measured by the radius of vanishing wind . They are largest on average in the northwest Pacific Ocean basin and smallest in the northeastern Pacific Ocean basin . If the radius of outermost closed isobar is less than two degrees of latitude ( 222 km ( 138 mi ) ) , then the cyclone is `` very small '' or a `` midget '' . A radius of 3 -- 6 latitude degrees ( 333 -- 670 km ( 207 -- 416 mi ) ) is considered `` average sized '' . `` Very large '' tropical cyclones have a radius of greater than 8 degrees ( 888 km ( 552 mi ) ) . Observations indicate that size is only weakly correlated to variables such as storm intensity ( i.e. maximum wind speed ) , radius of maximum wind , latitude , and maximum potential intensity . Size plays an important role in modulating damage caused by a storm . All else equal , a larger storm will impact a larger area for a longer period of time . Additionally , a larger near - surface wind field can generate higher storm surge due to the combination of longer wind fetch , longer duration , and enhanced wave setup . The upper circulation of strong hurricanes extends into the tropopause of the atmosphere , which at low latitudes is 15,000 -- 18,000 metres ( 50,000 -- 60,000 ft ) . Physics. and energetics Tropical cyclones exhibit an overturning circulation where air inflows at low levels near the surface , rises in thunderstorm clouds , and outflows at high levels near the tropopause . The three - dimensional wind field in a tropical cyclone can be separated into two components : a `` primary circulation '' and a `` secondary circulation '' . The primary circulation is the rotational part of the flow ; it is purely circular . The secondary circulation is the overturning ( in - up - out - down ) part of the flow ; it is in the radial and vertical directions . The primary circulation is larger in magnitude , dominating the surface wind field , and is responsible for the majority of the damage a storm causes , while the secondary circulation is slower but governs the energetics of the storm . Secondary circulation : a Carnot heat engine A tropical cyclone 's primary energy source is heat from the evaporation of water from the ocean surface , which ultimately recondenses into clouds and rain when the warm moist air rises and cools to saturation . The energetics of the system may be idealized as an atmospheric Carnot heat engine . First , inflowing air near the surface acquires heat primarily via evaporation of water ( i.e. latent heat ) at the temperature of the warm ocean surface ( during evaporation , the ocean cools and the air warms ) . Second , the warmed air rises and cools within the eyewall while conserving total heat content ( latent heat is simply converted to sensible heat during condensation ) . Third , air outflows and loses heat via infrared radiation to space at the temperature of the cold tropopause . Finally , air subsides and warms at the outer edge of the storm while conserving total heat content . The first and third legs are nearly isothermal , while the second and fourth legs are nearly isentropic . This in - up - out - down overturning flow is known as the secondary circulation . The Carnot perspective provides an upper bound on the maximum wind speed that a storm can attain . Scientists estimate that a tropical cyclone releases heat energy at the rate of 50 to 200 exajoules ( 10 J ) per day , equivalent to about 1 PW ( 10 watt ) . This rate of energy release is equivalent to 70 times the world energy consumption of humans and 200 times the worldwide electrical generating capacity , or to exploding a 10 - megaton nuclear bomb every 20 minutes . Primary circulation : rotating winds The primary rotating flow in a tropical cyclone results from the conservation of angular momentum by the secondary circulation . Absolute angular momentum on a rotating planet M ( \ displaystyle M ) is given by M = 1 2 f r 2 + v r ( \ displaystyle M = ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ) fr ^ ( 2 ) + vr ) where f ( \ displaystyle f ) is the Coriolis parameter , v ( \ displaystyle v ) is the azimuthal ( i.e. rotating ) wind speed , and r ( \ displaystyle r ) is the radius to the axis of rotation . The first term on the right hand side is the component of planetary angular momentum that projects onto the local vertical ( i.e. the axis of rotation ) . The second term on the right hand side is the relative angular momentum of the circulation itself with respect to the axis of rotation . Because the planetary angular momentum term vanishes at the equator ( where f = 0 ( \ displaystyle f = 0 ) ) , tropical cyclones rarely form within 5 ° of the equator . As air flows radially inward at low levels , it begins to rotate cyclonically in order to conserve angular momentum . Similarly , as rapidly rotating air flows radially outward near the tropopause , its cyclonic rotation decreases and ultimately changes sign at large enough radius , resulting in an upper - level anti-cyclone . The result is a vertical structure characterized by a strong cyclone at low levels and a strong anti-cyclone near the tropopause ; from thermal wind balance , this corresponds to a system that is warmer at its center than in the surrounding environment at all altitudes ( i.e. `` warm - core '' ) . From hydrostatic balance , the warm core translates to lower pressure at the center at all altitudes , with the maximum pressure drop located at the surface . Maximum potential intensity Due to surface friction , the inflow only partially conserves angular momentum . Thus , the sea surface lower boundary acts as both a source ( evaporation ) and sink ( friction ) of energy for the system . This fact leads to the existence of a theoretical upper bound on the strongest wind speed that a tropical cyclone can attain . Because evaporation increases linearly with wind speed ( just as climbing out of a pool feels much colder on a windy day ) , there is a positive feedback on energy input into the system known as the Wind - Induced Surface Heat Exchange ( WISHE ) feedback . This feedback is offset when frictional dissipation , which increases with the cube of the wind speed , becomes sufficiently large . This upper bound is called the `` maximum potential intensity '' , v p ( \ displaystyle v_ ( p ) ) , and is given by v p 2 = C k C d T s − T o T o Δ k ( \ displaystyle v_ ( p ) ^ ( 2 ) = ( \ frac ( C_ ( k ) ) ( C_ ( d ) ) ) ( \ frac ( T_ ( s ) - T_ ( o ) ) ( T_ ( o ) ) ) \ Delta k ) where T s ( \ displaystyle T_ ( s ) ) is the temperature of the sea surface , T o ( \ displaystyle T_ ( o ) ) is the temperature of the outflow ( ( K ) ) , Δ k ( \ displaystyle \ Delta k ) is the enthalpy difference between the surface and the overlying air ( ( J / kg ) ) , and C k ( \ displaystyle C_ ( k ) ) and C d ( \ displaystyle C_ ( d ) ) are the surface exchange coefficients ( dimensionless ) of enthalpy and momentum , respectively . The surface - air enthalpy difference is taken as Δ k = k s ∗ − k ( \ displaystyle \ Delta k = k_ ( s ) ^ ( * ) - k ) , where k s ∗ ( \ displaystyle k_ ( s ) ^ ( * ) ) is the saturation enthalpy of air at sea surface temperature and sea - level pressure and k ( \ displaystyle k ) is the enthalpy of boundary layer air overlying the surface . The maximum potential intensity is predominantly a function of the background environment alone ( i.e. without a tropical cyclone ) , and thus this quantity can be used to determine which regions on Earth can support tropical cyclones of a given intensity , and how these regions may evolve in time . Specifically , the maximum potential intensity has three components , but its variability in space and time is due predominantly to the variability in the surface - air enthalpy difference component Δ k ( \ displaystyle \ Delta k ) . Derivation A tropical cyclone may be viewed as a heat engine that converts input heat energy from the surface into mechanical energy that can be used to do mechanical work against surface friction . At equilibrium , the rate of net energy production in the system must equal the rate of energy loss due to frictional dissipation at the surface , i.e. W i n = W o u t ( \ displaystyle W_ ( in ) = W_ ( out ) ) The rate of energy loss per unit surface area from surface friction , W o u t ( \ displaystyle W_ ( out ) ) , is given by W o u t = C d ρ u 3 ( \ displaystyle W_ ( out ) = C_ ( d ) \ rho \ mathbf ( u ) ^ ( 3 ) ) where ρ ( \ displaystyle \ rho ) is the density of near - surface air ( ( kg / m ) ) and u ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( u ) ) is the near surface wind speed ( ( m / s ) ) . The rate of energy production per unit surface area , W i n ( \ displaystyle W_ ( in ) ) is given by W i n = ε Q i n ( \ displaystyle W_ ( in ) = \ epsilon Q_ ( in ) ) where ε ( \ displaystyle \ epsilon ) is the heat engine efficiency and Q i n ( \ displaystyle Q_ ( in ) ) is the total rate of heat input into the system per unit surface area . Given that a tropical cyclone may be idealized as a Carnot heat engine , the Carnot heat engine efficiency is given by ε = T s − T o T s ( \ displaystyle \ epsilon = ( \ frac ( T_ ( s ) - T_ ( o ) ) ( T_ ( s ) ) ) ) Heat ( enthalpy ) per unit mass is given by k = C p T + L v q ( \ displaystyle k = C_ ( p ) T + L_ ( v ) q ) where C p ( \ displaystyle C_ ( p ) ) is the heat capacity of air , T ( \ displaystyle T ) is air temperature , L v ( \ displaystyle L_ ( v ) ) is the latent heat of vaporization , and q ( \ displaystyle q ) is the concentration of water vapor . The first component corresponds to sensible heat and the second to latent heat . There are two sources of heat input . The dominant source is the input of heat at the surface , primarily due to evaporation . The bulk aerodynamic formula for the rate of heat input per unit area at the surface , Q i n : k ( \ displaystyle Q_ ( in : k ) ) , is given by Q i n : k = C k ρ u Δ k ( \ displaystyle Q_ ( in : k ) = C_ ( k ) \ rho \ mathbf ( u ) \ Delta k ) where Δ k = k s ∗ − k ( \ displaystyle \ Delta k = k_ ( s ) ^ ( * ) - k ) represents the enthalpy difference between the ocean surface and the overlying air . The second source is the internal sensible heat generated from frictional dissipation ( equal to W o u t ( \ displaystyle W_ ( out ) ) ) , which occurs near the surface within the tropical cyclone and is recycled to the system . Q i n : f r i c t i o n = C d ρ u 3 ( \ displaystyle Q_ ( in : friction ) = C_ ( d ) \ rho \ mathbf ( u ) ^ ( 3 ) ) Thus , the total rate of net energy production per unit surface area is given by W i n = T s − T o T s ( C k ρ u Δ k + C d ρ u 3 ) ( \ displaystyle W_ ( in ) = ( \ frac ( T_ ( s ) - T_ ( o ) ) ( T_ ( s ) ) ) \ left ( C_ ( k ) \ rho \ mathbf ( u ) \ Delta k + C_ ( d ) \ rho \ mathbf ( u ) ^ ( 3 ) \ right ) ) Setting W i n = W o u t ( \ displaystyle W_ ( in ) = W_ ( out ) ) and taking u ≈ v ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( u ) \ approx v ) ( i.e. the rotational wind speed is dominant ) leads to the solution for v p ( \ displaystyle v_ ( p ) ) given above . This derivation assumes that total energy input and loss within the system can be approximated by their values at the radius of maximum wind . The inclusion of Q i n : f r i c t i o n ( \ displaystyle Q_ ( in : friction ) ) acts to multiply the total heat input rate by the factor T s T o ( \ displaystyle ( \ frac ( T_ ( s ) ) ( T_ ( o ) ) ) ) . Mathematically , this has the effect of replacing T s ( \ displaystyle T_ ( s ) ) with T o ( \ displaystyle T_ ( o ) ) in the denominator of the Carnot efficiency . An alternative definition for the maximum potential intensity , which is mathematically equivalent to the above formulation , is v p = T s T o C k C d ( C A P E s ∗ − C A P E b ) m ( \ displaystyle v_ ( p ) = ( \ sqrt ( ( \ frac ( T_ ( s ) ) ( T_ ( o ) ) ) ( \ frac ( C_ ( k ) ) ( C_ ( d ) ) ) ( CAPE_ ( s ) ^ ( * ) - CAPE_ ( b ) ) _ ( m ) ) ) ) where CAPE stands for the Convective Available Potential Energy , C A P E s ∗ ( \ displaystyle CAPE_ ( s ) ^ ( * ) ) is the CAPE of an air parcel lifted from saturation at sea level in reference to the environmental sounding , C A P E b ( \ displaystyle CAPE_ ( b ) ) is the CAPE of the boundary layer air , and both quantities are calculated at the radius of maximum wind . Characteristic values and variability on Earth On Earth , a characteristic temperature for T s ( \ displaystyle T_ ( s ) ) is 300 K and for T o ( \ displaystyle T_ ( o ) ) is 200 K , corresponding to a Carnot efficiency of ε = 1 / 3 ( \ displaystyle \ epsilon = 1 / 3 ) . The ratio of the surface exchange coefficients , C k / C d ( \ displaystyle C_ ( k ) / C_ ( d ) ) , is typically taken to be 1 . However , observations suggest that the drag coefficient C d ( \ displaystyle C_ ( d ) ) varies with wind speed and may decrease at high wind speeds within the boundary layer of a mature hurricane . Additionally , C k ( \ displaystyle C_ ( k ) ) may vary at high wind speeds due to the effect of sea spray on evaporation within the boundary layer . A characteristic value of the maximum potential intensity , v p ( \ displaystyle v_ ( p ) ) , is 80 metres per second ( 180 mph ; 290 km / h ) . However , this quantity varies significantly across space and time , particularly within the seasonal cycle , spanning a range of 0 to 100 metres per second ( 0 to 224 mph ; 0 to 360 km / h ) . This variability is primarily due to variability in the surface enthalpy disequilibrium ( Δ k ( \ displaystyle \ Delta k ) ) as well as in the thermodynamic structure of the troposphere , which are controlled by the large - scale dynamics of the tropical climate . These processes are modulated by factors including the sea surface temperature ( and underlying ocean dynamics ) , background near - surface wind speed , and the vertical structure of atmospheric radiative heating . The nature of this modulation is complex , particularly on climate time - scales ( decades or longer ) . On shorter time - scales , variability in the maximum potential intensity is commonly linked to sea surface temperature perturbations from the tropical mean , as regions with relatively warm water have thermodynamic states much more capable of sustaining a tropical cyclone than regions with relatively cold water . However , this relationship is indirect via the large - scale dynamics of the tropics ; the direct influence of the absolute sea surface temperature on v p ( \ displaystyle v_ ( p ) ) is weak in comparison . Interaction with the upper Ocean Chart displaying the drop in surface temperature in the Gulf of Mexico as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita passed over The passage of a tropical cyclone over the ocean causes the upper layers of the ocean to cool substantially , which can influence subsequent cyclone development . This cooling is primarily caused by wind - driven mixing of cold water from deeper in the ocean with the warm surface waters . This effect results in a negative feedback process that can inhibit further development or lead to weakening . Additional cooling may come in the form of cold water from falling raindrops ( this is because the atmosphere is cooler at higher altitudes ) . Cloud cover may also play a role in cooling the ocean , by shielding the ocean surface from direct sunlight before and slightly after the storm passage . All these effects can combine to produce a dramatic drop in sea surface temperature over a large area in just a few days .

These organizations are designated by the World Meteorological Organization and are responsible for tracking and issuing bulletins , warnings , and advisories about tropical cyclones in their designated areas of responsibility . In addition , there are six Tropical Cyclone Warning Centers ( TCWCs ) that provide information to smaller regions . The RSMCs and TCWCs are not the only organizations that provide information about tropical cyclones to the public . The Joint Typhoon Warning Center ( JTWC ) issues advisories in all basins except the Northern Atlantic for the purposes of the United States Government . The Philippine Atmospheric , Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration ( PAGASA ) issues advisories and names for tropical cyclones that approach the Philippines in the Northwestern Pacific to protect the life and property of its citizens . The Canadian Hurricane Center ( CHC ) issues advisories on hurricanes and their remnants for Canadian citizens when they affect Canada . On March 26 , 2004 , Hurricane Catarina became the first recorded South Atlantic cyclone , striking southern Brazil with winds equivalent to Category 2 on the Saffir - Simpson Hurricane Scale . As the cyclone formed outside the authority of another warning center , Brazilian meteorologists initially treated the system as an extratropical cyclone , but later on classified it as tropical . Formation Main article : Tropical cyclogenesis Map of the cumulative tracks of all tropical cyclones during the 1985 -- 2005 time period . The Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line sees more tropical cyclones than any other basin , while there is almost no activity in the southern hemisphere between Africa and 160 _̊ W . Map of all tropical cyclone tracks from 1945 to 2006 . Equal - area projection . Worldwide , tropical cyclone activity peaks in late summer , when the difference between temperatures aloft and sea surface temperatures is the greatest . However , each particular basin has its own seasonal patterns . On a worldwide scale , May is the least active month , while September is the most active month . November is the only month in which all the tropical cyclone basins are active . Times In the Northern Atlantic Ocean , a distinct cyclone season occurs from June 1 to November 30 , sharply peaking from late August through September . The statistical peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is September 10 . The Northeast Pacific Ocean has a broader period of activity , but in a similar time frame to the Atlantic . The Northwest Pacific sees tropical cyclones year - round , with a minimum in February and March and a peak in early September . In the North Indian basin , storms are most common from April to December , with peaks in May and November . In the Southern Hemisphere , the tropical cyclone year begins on July 1 and runs all year - round encompassing the tropical cyclone seasons , which run from November 1 until the end of April , with peaks in mid-February to early March .

The formation of tropical cyclones is the topic of extensive ongoing research and is still not fully understood . While six factors appear to be generally necessary , tropical cyclones may occasionally form without meeting all of the following conditions . In most situations , water temperatures of at least 26.5 ° C ( 79.7 ° F ) are needed down to a depth of at least 50 m ( 160 ft ) ; waters of this temperature cause the overlying atmosphere to be unstable enough to sustain convection and thunderstorms . For tropical transitioning cyclones ( i.e. Hurricane Ophelia ( 2017 ) ) a water temperature of at least 22.5 ° C ( 72.5 ° F ) has been suggested . Another factor is rapid cooling with height , which allows the release of the heat of condensation that powers a tropical cyclone . High humidity is needed , especially in the lower - to - mid troposphere ; when there is a great deal of moisture in the atmosphere , conditions are more favorable for disturbances to develop . Low amounts of wind shear are needed , as high shear is disruptive to the storm 's circulation . Tropical cyclones generally need to form more than 555 km ( 345 mi ) or five degrees of latitude away from the equator , allowing the Coriolis effect to deflect winds blowing towards the low pressure center and creating a circulation . Lastly , a formative tropical cyclone needs a preexisting system of disturbed weather . Tropical cyclones will not form spontaneously . Low - latitude and low - level westerly wind bursts associated with the Madden - Julian oscillation can create favorable conditions for tropical cyclogenesis by initiating tropical disturbances . Locations Most tropical cyclones form in a worldwide band of thunderstorm activity near the equator , referred to as the Intertropical Front ( ITF ) , the Intertropical Convergence Zone ( ITCZ ) , or the monsoon trough . Another important source of atmospheric instability is found in tropical waves , which contribute to the development of about 85 % of intense tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean and become most of the tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific . The majority forms between 10 and 30 degrees of latitude away of the equator , and 87 % forms no farther away than 20 degrees north or south . Because the Coriolis effect initiates and maintains their rotation , tropical cyclones rarely form or move within 5 degrees of the equator , where the effect is weakest . However , it is still possible for tropical systems to form within this boundary as Tropical Storm Vamei and Cyclone Agni did in 2001 and 2004 , respectively . Movement The movement of a tropical cyclone ( i.e. its `` track '' ) is typically approximated as the sum of two terms : `` steering '' by the background environmental wind and `` beta drift '' . Environmental steering Environmental steering is the dominant term . Conceptually , it represents the movement of the storm due to prevailing winds and other wider environmental conditions , similar to `` leaves carried along by a stream '' . Physically , the winds , or flow field , in the vicinity of a tropical cyclone may be treated as having two parts : the flow associated with the storm itself , and the large - scale background flow of the environment in which the storm takes place . In this way , tropical cyclone motion may be represented to first - order simply as advection of the storm by the local environmental flow . This environmental flow is termed the `` steering flow '' . Climatologically , tropical cyclones are steered primarily westward by the east - to - west trade winds on the equatorial side of the subtropical ridge -- a persistent high - pressure area over the world 's subtropical oceans . In the tropical North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific oceans , the trade winds steer tropical easterly waves westward from the African coast toward the Caribbean Sea , North America , and ultimately into the central Pacific Ocean before the waves dampen out . These waves are the precursors to many tropical cyclones within this region . In contrast , in the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific in both hemispheres , tropical cyclogenesis is influenced less by tropical easterly waves and more by the seasonal movement of the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone and the monsoon trough . Additionally , tropical cyclone motion can be influenced by transient weather systems , such as extratropical cyclones . Beta drift In addition to environmental steering , a tropical cyclone will tend to drift slowly poleward and westward , a motion known as `` beta drift '' . This motion is due to the superposition of a vortex , such as a tropical cyclone , onto an environment in which the Coriolis force varies with latitude , such as on a sphere or beta plane . It is induced indirectly by the storm itself , the result of a feedback between the cyclonic flow of the storm and its environment . Physically , the cyclonic circulation of the storm advects environmental air poleward east of center and equatorial west of center . Because air must conserve its angular momentum , this flow configuration induces a cyclonic gyre equatorward and westward of the storm center and an anticyclonic gyre poleward and eastward of the storm center . The combined flow of these gyres acts to advect the storm slowly poleward and westward . This effect occurs even if there is zero environmental flow . Multiple storm interaction Main article : Fujiwhara effect A third component of motion that occurs relatively infrequently involves the interaction of multiple tropical cyclones . When two cyclones approach one another , their centers will begin orbiting cyclonically about a point between the two systems . Depending on their separation distance and strength , the two vortices may simply orbit around one another or else may spiral into the center point and merge . When the two vortices are of unequal size , the larger vortex will tend to dominate the interaction , and the smaller vortex will orbit around it . This phenomenon is called the Fujiwhara effect , after Sakuhei Fujiwhara . Interaction with the mid-latitude Westerlies See also : Westerlies Storm track of Typhoon Ioke , showing recurvature off the Japanese coast in 2006 Though a tropical cyclone typically moves from east to west in the tropics , its track may shift poleward and eastward either as it moves west of the subtropical ridge axis or else if it interacts with the mid-latitude flow , such as the jet stream or an extratropical cyclone . This motion , termed `` recurvature '' , commonly occurs near the western edge of the major ocean basins , where the jet stream typically has a poleward component and extratropical cyclones are common . An example of tropical cyclone recurvature was Typhoon Ioke in 2006 . Landfall See also : Tropical cyclogenesis § Unusual areas of formation The landfall of a tropical cyclone occurs when a storm 's surface center moves over a coastline . Storm conditions may be experienced on the coast and inland hours before landfall ; in fact , a tropical cyclone can launch its strongest winds over land , yet not make landfall . NOAA uses the term `` direct hit '' to describe when a location ( on the left side of the eye ) falls within the radius of maximum winds ( or twice that radius if on the right side ) , whether or not the hurricane 's eye made landfall . Dissipation Factors Tropical Storm Franklin , an example of a strongly sheared tropical cyclone in the North Atlantic hurricane basin during 2005 A tropical cyclone can cease to have tropical characteristics in several different ways . One such way is if it moves over land , thus depriving it of the warm water it needs to power itself , quickly losing strength . Most strong storms lose their strength very rapidly after landfall and become disorganized areas of low pressure within a day or two , or evolve into extratropical cyclones . There is a chance a tropical cyclone could regenerate if it managed to get back over open warm water , such as with Hurricane Ivan . If it remains over mountains for even a short time , weakening will accelerate . Many storm fatalities occur in mountainous terrain , when diminishing cyclones unleash their moisture as torrential rainfall . This rainfall may lead to deadly floods and mudslides , as was the case with Hurricane Mitch around Honduras in October 1998 . Without warm surface water , the storm can not survive . A tropical cyclone can dissipate when it moves over waters significantly below 26.5 ° C ( 79.7 ° F ) . This will cause the storm to lose its tropical characteristics , such as a warm core with thunderstorms near the center , and become a remnant low - pressure area . These remnant systems may persist for up to several days before losing their identity . This dissipation mechanism is most common in the eastern North Pacific . Weakening or dissipation can occur if it experiences vertical wind shear , causing the convection and heat engine to move away from the center ; this normally ceases development of a tropical cyclone . In addition , its interaction with the main belt of the Westerlies , by means of merging with a nearby frontal zone , can cause tropical cyclones to evolve into extratropical cyclones . This transition can take 1 -- 3 days . Even after a tropical cyclone is said to be extratropical or dissipated , it can still have tropical storm force ( or occasionally hurricane / typhoon force ) winds and drop several inches of rainfall . In the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean , such tropical - derived cyclones of higher latitudes can be violent and may occasionally remain at hurricane or typhoon - force wind speeds when they reach the west coast of North America . These phenomena can also affect Europe , where they are known as European windstorms ; Hurricane Iris 's extratropical remnants are an example of such a windstorm from 1995 . A cyclone can also merge with another area of low pressure , becoming a larger area of low pressure . This can strengthen the resultant system , although it may no longer be a tropical cyclone . Studies in the 2000s have given rise to the hypothesis that large amounts of dust reduce the strength of tropical cyclones . Artificial dissipation In the 1960s and 1970s , the United States government attempted to weaken hurricanes through Project Stormfury by seeding selected storms with silver iodide . It was thought that the seeding would cause supercooled water in the outer rainbands to freeze , causing the inner eyewall to collapse and thus reducing the winds . The winds of Hurricane Debbie -- a hurricane seeded in Project Stormfury -- dropped as much as 31 % , but Debbie regained its strength after each of two seeding forays . In an earlier episode in 1947 , disaster struck when a hurricane east of Jacksonville , Florida promptly changed its course after being seeded , and smashed into Savannah , Georgia . Because there was so much uncertainty about the behavior of these storms , the federal government would not approve seeding operations unless the hurricane had a less than 10 % chance of making landfall within 48 hours , greatly reducing the number of possible test storms . The project was dropped after it was discovered that eyewall replacement cycles occur naturally in strong hurricanes , casting doubt on the result of the earlier attempts . Today , it is known that silver iodide seeding is not likely to have an effect because the amount of supercooled water in the rainbands of a tropical cyclone is too low . Other approaches have been suggested over time , including cooling the water under a tropical cyclone by towing icebergs into the tropical oceans . Other ideas range from covering the ocean in a substance that inhibits evaporation , dropping large quantities of ice into the eye at very early stages of development ( so that the latent heat is absorbed by the ice , instead of being converted to kinetic energy that would feed the positive feedback loop ) , or blasting the cyclone apart with nuclear weapons . Project Cirrus even involved throwing dry ice on a cyclone . These approaches all suffer from one flaw above many others : tropical cyclones are simply too large and short - lived for any of the weakening techniques to be practical . Effects The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in Gulfport , Mississippi . Main article : Effects of tropical cyclones Tropical cyclones out at sea cause large waves , heavy rain , flood and high winds , disrupting international shipping and , at times , causing shipwrecks . Tropical cyclones stir up water , leaving a cool wake behind them , which causes the region to be less favorable for subsequent tropical cyclones . On land , strong winds can damage or destroy vehicles , buildings , bridges , and other outside objects , turning loose debris into deadly flying projectiles . The storm surge , or the increase in sea level due to the cyclone , is typically the worst effect from landfalling tropical cyclones , historically resulting in 90 % of tropical cyclone deaths . The broad rotation of a landfalling tropical cyclone , and vertical wind shear at its periphery , spawns tornadoes . Tornadoes can also be spawned as a result of eyewall mesovortices , which persist until landfall . Over the past two centuries , tropical cyclones have been responsible for the deaths of about 1.9 million people worldwide . Large areas of standing water caused by flooding lead to infection , as well as contributing to mosquito - borne illnesses . Crowded evacuees in shelters increase the risk of disease propagation . Tropical cyclones significantly interrupt infrastructure , leading to power outages , bridge destruction , and the hampering of reconstruction efforts . On average , the Gulf and east coasts of the United States suffer approximately US $5 billion ( 1995 US $ ) in cyclone damage every year . The majority ( 83 % ) of tropical cyclone damage is caused by severe hurricanes , category 3 or greater . However , category 3 or greater hurricanes only account for about one - fifth of cyclones that make landfall every year . Although cyclones take an enormous toll in lives and personal property , they may be important factors in the precipitation regimes of places they impact , as they may bring much - needed precipitation to otherwise dry regions . Tropical cyclones also help maintain the global heat balance by moving warm , moist tropical air to the middle latitudes and polar regions , and by regulating the thermohaline circulation through upwelling . The storm surge and winds of hurricanes may be destructive to human - made structures , but they also stir up the waters of coastal estuaries , which are typically important fish breeding locales . Tropical cyclone destruction spurs redevelopment , greatly increasing local property values . When hurricanes surge upon shore from the ocean , salt is introduced to many freshwater areas and raises the salinity levels too high for some habitats to withstand . Some are able to cope with the salt and recycle it back into the ocean , but others can not release the extra surface water quickly enough or do not have a large enough freshwater source to replace it . Because of this , some species of plants and vegetation die due to the excess salt . In addition , hurricanes can carry toxins and acids onto shore when they make landfall . The flood water can pick up the toxins from different spills and contaminate the land that it passes over . The toxins are very harmful to the people and animals in the area , as well as the environment around them . The flooding water can also spark many dangerous oil spills . Observation and Forecasting Observation Main article : Tropical cyclone observation Sunset view of Hurricane Isidore 's rainbands photographed at 7,000 feet ( 2,100 m ) `` Hurricane Hunter '' - WP - 3D Orion is used to go into the eye of a hurricane for data collection and measurements purposes . Intense tropical cyclones pose a particular observation challenge , as they are a dangerous oceanic phenomenon , and weather stations , being relatively sparse , are rarely available on the site of the storm itself . In general , surface observations are available only if the storm is passing over an island or a coastal area , or if there is a nearby ship . Real - time measurements are usually taken in the periphery of the cyclone , where conditions are less catastrophic and its true strength can not be evaluated . For this reason , there are teams of meteorologists that move into the path of tropical cyclones to help evaluate their strength at the point of landfall . Tropical cyclones far from land are tracked by weather satellites capturing visible and infrared images from space , usually at half - hour to quarter - hour intervals . As a storm approaches land , it can be observed by land - based Doppler weather radar . Radar plays a crucial role around landfall by showing a storm 's location and intensity every several minutes . In situ measurements , in real - time , can be taken by sending specially equipped reconnaissance flights into the cyclone . In the Atlantic basin , these flights are regularly flown by United States government hurricane hunters . The aircraft used are WC - 130 Hercules and WP - 3D Orions , both four - engine turboprop cargo aircraft . These aircraft fly directly into the cyclone and take direct and remote - sensing measurements . The aircraft also launch GPS dropsondes inside the cyclone . These sondes measure temperature , humidity , pressure , and especially winds between flight level and the ocean 's surface . A new era in hurricane observation began when a remotely piloted Aerosonde , a small drone aircraft , was flown through Tropical Storm Ophelia as it passed Virginia 's Eastern Shore during the 2005 hurricane season . A similar mission was also completed successfully in the western Pacific Ocean . This demonstrated a new way to probe the storms at low altitudes that human pilots seldom dare . A general decrease in error trends in tropical cyclone path prediction is evident since the 1970s Forecasting See also : Tropical cyclone track forecasting , Tropical cyclone prediction model , and Tropical cyclone rainfall forecasting Because of the forces that affect tropical cyclone tracks , accurate track predictions depend on determining the position and strength of high - and low - pressure areas , and predicting how those areas will change during the life of a tropical system . The deep layer mean flow , or average wind through the depth of the troposphere , is considered the best tool in determining track direction and speed . If storms are significantly sheared , use of wind speed measurements at a lower altitude , such as at the 70 kPa pressure surface ( 3,000 metres or 9,800 feet above sea level ) will produce better predictions . Tropical forecasters also consider smoothing out short - term wobbles of the storm as it allows them to determine a more accurate long - term trajectory . High - speed computers and sophisticated simulation software allow forecasters to produce computer models that predict tropical cyclone tracks based on the future position and strength of high - and low - pressure systems . Combining forecast models with increased understanding of the forces that act on tropical cyclones , as well as with a wealth of data from Earth - orbiting satellites and other sensors , scientists have increased the accuracy of track forecasts over recent decades . However , scientists are not as skillful at predicting the intensity of tropical cyclones . The lack of improvement in intensity forecasting is attributed to the complexity of tropical systems and an incomplete understanding of factors that affect their development . New tropical cyclone position and forecast information is available at least every twelve hours in the Southern Hemisphere and at least every six hours in the Northern Hemisphere from Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers and Tropical Cyclone Warning Centers . Classifications , Terminology , and naming Intensity classifications Main article : Tropical cyclone scales Three tropical cyclones of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season at different stages of development . The weakest ( left ) demonstrates only the most basic circular shape . A stronger storm ( top right ) demonstrates spiral banding and increased centralization , while the strongest ( lower right ) has developed an eye . Tropical cyclones are classified into three main groups , based on intensity : tropical depressions , tropical storms , and a third group of more intense storms , whose name depends on the region . For example , if a tropical storm in the Northwestern Pacific reaches hurricane - strength winds on the Beaufort scale , it is referred to as a typhoon ; if a tropical storm passes the same benchmark in the Northeast Pacific Basin , or in the North Atlantic , it is called a hurricane . Neither `` hurricane '' nor `` typhoon '' is used in either the Southern Hemisphere or the Indian Ocean . In these basins , storms of a tropical nature are referred to as either tropical cyclones , severe tropical cyclones or very intense tropical cyclones . As indicated in the table below , each basin uses a separate system of terminology , which can make comparisons between different basins difficult . In the Pacific Ocean , hurricanes from the Central North Pacific sometimes cross the 180th meridian into the Northwest Pacific , becoming typhoons ( such as Hurricane / Typhoon Ioke in 2006 ) ; on rare occasions , the reverse will occur . It should also be noted that typhoons with 1 - minute sustained winds greater than 67 metres per second ( m / s ) , over 150 miles per hour ( 240 km / h ) , are called Super Typhoons by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center . Tropical depression `` Tropical Depression '' redirects here . For the Filipino reggae band , see Tropical Depression ( band ) . For the EP by Elephant Micah , see Tropical Depression ( EP ) . A tropical depression or tropical low is a tropical disturbance that has a clearly defined surface circulation with maximum sustained winds of less than 34 kn ( 39 mph ; 63 km / h ) . Within the Southern Hemisphere , the depression can have gale force or stronger winds in one or more quadrants , but not near the centre . Tropical storm `` Tropical Storm '' redirects here . For the album , see Tropical Storm ( album ) . A tropical storm is an organized system of strong thunderstorms with a defined surface circulation and maximum sustained winds between 34 knots ( 63 km / h ) and 64 knots ( 119 km / h ) . At this point , the distinctive cyclonic shape starts to develop , although an eye is not usually present . Government weather services first assign names to systems that reach this intensity ( thus the term named storm ) . Although tropical storms are less intense than a hurricane they can produce significant damage . The shear force of winds can blow off shingles , and air borne objects can cause damage to power lines , roofing and siding . More dangerous is the heavy rainfall causing inland flooding . Hurricane or Typhoon Main articles : Atlantic hurricane , Pacific hurricane , and typhoon A hurricane or typhoon ( sometimes simply referred to as a tropical cyclone , as opposed to a depression or storm ) is a system with sustained winds of at least 34 m / s ( 66 kn ; 76 mph ; 120 km / h ) . A cyclone of this intensity tends to develop an eye , an area of relative calm ( and lowest atmospheric pressure ) at the center of circulation . The eye is often visible in satellite images as a small , circular , cloud - free spot . Surrounding the eye is the eyewall , an area about 16 kilometres ( 9.9 mi ) to 80 kilometres ( 50 mi ) wide in which the strongest thunderstorms and winds circulate around the storm 's center . Maximum sustained winds in the strongest tropical cyclones have been estimated at about 95 m / s ( 185 kn ; 210 mph ; 340 km / h ) .

The related Portuguese word tufão , used in Portuguese for typhoons , is also derived from Typhon . The word is also similar to Chinese `` táifēng '' ( Simplified Chinese : 台风 , Traditional Chinese : 颱風 ) ( fēng = wind ) , `` toifung '' in Cantonese , `` taifū '' ( 台風 ) in Japanese , and `` taepung '' ( 태풍 ) in Korean . The word hurricane , used in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific , is derived from huracán , the Spanish word for the Carib / Taino storm god , Juracán . This god is believed by scholars to have been at least partially derived from the Mayan creator god , Huracan . Huracan was believed by the Maya to have created dry land out of the turbulent waters . The god was also credited with later destroying the `` wooden people '' , the precursors to the `` maize people '' , with an immense storm and flood . Huracan is also the source of the word orcan , another word for a particularly strong European windstorm . Naming Main articles : Tropical cyclone naming and History of tropical cyclone naming The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back many years , with systems named after places or things they hit before the formal start of naming . The system currently used provides positive identification of severe weather systems in a brief form , that is readily understood and recognized by the public . The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is generally given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge who named systems between 1887 and 1907 . This system of naming weather systems subsequently fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired , until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific . Formal naming schemes have subsequently been introduced for the North and South Atlantic , Eastern , Central , Western and Southern Pacific basins as well as the Australian region and Indian Ocean . At present tropical cyclones are officially named by one of eleven meteorological services and retain their names throughout their lifetimes to provide ease of communication between forecasters and the general public regarding forecasts , watches , and warnings . Since the systems can last a week or longer and more than one can be occurring in the same basin at the same time , the names are thought to reduce the confusion about what storm is being described . Names are assigned in order from predetermined lists with one , three , or ten - minute sustained wind speeds of more than 65 km / h ( 40 mph ) depending on which basin it originates . However , standards vary from basin to basin with some tropical depressions named in the Western Pacific , while tropical cyclones have to have a significant amount of gale - force winds occurring around the center before they are named within the Southern Hemisphere . The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean , Pacific Ocean , and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name . Notable tropical cyclones Main articles : List of notable tropical cyclones , List of Atlantic hurricanes , and List of Pacific hurricanes Tropical cyclones that cause extreme destruction are rare , although when they occur , they can cause great amounts of damage or thousands of fatalities . The 1970 Bhola cyclone is the deadliest tropical cyclone on record , killing more than 300,000 people and potentially as many as 1 million after striking the densely populated Ganges Delta region of Bangladesh on November 13 , 1970 . Its powerful storm surge was responsible for the high death toll . The North Indian cyclone basin has historically been the deadliest basin . Elsewhere , Typhoon Nina killed nearly 100,000 in China in 1975 due to a 100 - year flood that caused 62 dams including the Banqiao Dam to fail . The Great Hurricane of 1780 is the deadliest North Atlantic hurricane on record , killing about 22,000 people in the Lesser Antilles . A tropical cyclone does not need to be particularly strong to cause memorable damage , primarily if the deaths are from rainfall or mudslides . Tropical Storm Thelma in November 1991 killed thousands in the Philippines , although the strongest typhoon to ever make landfall on record was Typhoon Haiyan on November 2013 , causing widespread devastation in Eastern Visayas and killing at least 6,300 people in that country alone . In 1982 , the unnamed tropical depression that eventually became Hurricane Paul killed around 1,000 people in Central America . Hurricane Harvey is estimated as the costliest tropical cyclone worldwide , with an estimated $198.6 billion in damages ( 2017 USD ) . Harvey killed at least 90 people in August 2017 after making landfall in Texas as a low - end Category 4 hurricane . Hurricane Katrina is estimated as the second - costliest tropical cyclone worldwide , causing $81.2 billion in property damage ( 2008 USD ) with overall damage estimates exceeding $100 billion ( 2005 USD ) . Katrina killed at least 1,836 people after striking Louisiana and Mississippi as a major hurricane in August 2005 . Hurricane Sandy is the third most destructive tropical cyclone in U.S history , with damage totaling $68 billion ( 2012 USD ) , and with damage costs at $37.5 billion ( 2012 USD ) , Hurricane Ike is the fourth most destructive tropical cyclone in U.S history . The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 is the deadliest natural disaster in the United States , killing an estimated 6,000 to 12,000 people in Galveston , Texas . Hurricane Mitch caused more than 10,000 fatalities in Central America , making it the second deadliest Atlantic hurricane in history . Hurricane Iniki in 1992 was the most powerful storm to strike Hawaii in recorded history , hitting Kauai as a Category 4 hurricane , killing six people , and causing U.S. $3 billion in damage . Kauai was also struck by Hurricanes Dot ( 1959 ) and Iwa ( 1982 ) ( see List of Hawaii hurricanes ) . Other destructive Eastern Pacific hurricanes include Pauline and Kenna , both causing severe damage after striking Mexico as major hurricanes . In March 2004 , Cyclone Gafilo struck northeastern Madagascar as a powerful cyclone , killing 74 , affecting more than 200,000 , and becoming the worst cyclone to affect the nation for more than 20 years . The relative sizes of Typhoon Tip , Cyclone Tracy , and the Contiguous United States The most intense storm on record was Typhoon Tip in the northwestern Pacific Ocean in 1979 , which reached a minimum pressure of 870 hectopascals ( 25.69 inHg ) and maximum sustained wind speeds of 165 knots ( 85 m / s ) or 190 miles per hour ( 310 km / h ) . The highest maximum sustained wind speed ever recorded was 185 knots ( 95 m / s ) or 215 miles per hour ( 345 km / h ) in Hurricane Patricia in 2015 , which is the most intense cyclone ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere . Typhoon Nancy in 1961 also had recorded wind speeds of 185 knots ( 95 m / s ) or 215 miles per hour ( 346 km / h ) , but recent research indicates that wind speeds from the 1940s to the 1960s were gauged too high , and this is no longer considered the storm with the highest wind speeds on record . Likewise , a surface - level gust caused by Typhoon Paka on Guam in late 1997 was recorded at 205 knots ( 105 m / s ) or 235 miles per hour ( 378 km / h ) . Had it been confirmed , it would be the strongest non-tornadic wind ever recorded on the Earth 's surface , but the reading had to be discarded since the anemometer was damaged by the storm . The World Meteorological Organization established Barrow Island as the location of the highest non-tornado related wind gust at 408 km / h ( 253 mph ) . The gust occurred on 10 April 1996 , during Severe Tropical Cyclone Olivia and is documented in the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Journal . In addition to being the most intense tropical cyclone on record based on pressure , Tip was the largest cyclone on record , with tropical storm - force winds 2,170 kilometres ( 1,350 mi ) in diameter . The smallest storm on record , Tropical Storm Marco , formed during October 2008 , and made landfall in Veracruz . Marco generated tropical storm - force winds only 37 kilometres ( 23 mi ) in diameter . Hurricane John is the longest - lasting tropical cyclone on record , lasting 31 days in 1994 . Before the advent of satellite imagery in 1961 , however , many tropical cyclones were underestimated in their durations . John is also the longest - tracked tropical cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere on record , which had a path of 8,250 mi ( 13,280 km ) . Cyclone Rewa of the 1993 -- 94 South Pacific and Australian region cyclone seasons had one of the longest tracks observed within the Southern Hemisphere , traveling a distance of over 5,545 mi ( 8,920 km ) during December 1993 and January 1994 . Changes caused by El Niño -- Southern oscillation See also : El Niño -- Southern Oscillation Most tropical cyclones form on the side of the subtropical ridge closer to the equator , then move poleward past the ridge axis before recurving into the main belt of the Westerlies . When the subtropical ridge position shifts due to El Niño , so will the preferred tropical cyclone tracks . Areas west of Japan and Korea tend to experience much fewer September -- November tropical cyclone impacts during El Niño and neutral years . During El Niño years , the break in the subtropical ridge tends to lie near 130 ° E which would favor the Japanese archipelago . During El Niño years , Guam 's chance of a tropical cyclone impact is one - third more likely than of the long - term average . The tropical Atlantic Ocean experiences depressed activity due to increased vertical wind shear across the region during El Niño years . During La Niña years , the formation of tropical cyclones , along with the subtropical ridge position , shifts westward across the western Pacific Ocean , which increases the landfall threat to China and much greater intensity in the Philippines . Long - term activity Trends See also : Atlantic hurricane reanalysis Atlantic Multidecadal Cycle since 1950 , using accumulated cyclone energy ( ACE ) Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation Timeseries , 1856 -- 2013 While the number of storms in the Atlantic has increased since 1995 , there is no obvious global trend ; the annual number of tropical cyclones worldwide remains about 87 ± 10 ( Between 77 and 97 tropical cyclones annually ) . However , the ability of climatologists to make long - term data analysis in certain basins is limited by the lack of reliable historical data in some basins , primarily in the Southern Hemisphere , while noting that a significant downward trend in tropical cyclone numbers has been identified for the region near Australia ( based on high quality data and accounting for the influence of the El Niño - Southern Oscillation ) . In spite of that , there is some evidence that the intensity of hurricanes is increasing . Kerry Emanuel stated , `` Records of hurricane activity worldwide show an upswing of both the maximum wind speed in and the duration of hurricanes . The energy released by the average hurricane ( again considering all hurricanes worldwide ) seems to have increased by around 70 % in the past 30 years or so , corresponding to about a 15 % increase in the maximum wind speed and a 60 % increase in storm lifetime . '' Atlantic storms are becoming more destructive financially , as evidenced by the fact that five of the ten most expensive storms in United States history have occurred since 1990 . According to the World Meteorological Organization , `` recent increase in societal impact from tropical cyclones has been caused largely by rising concentrations of population and infrastructure in coastal regions . '' Political scientist Pielke et al. ( 2008 ) normalized mainland US hurricane damage from 1900 -- 2005 to 2005 values and found no remaining trend of increasing absolute damage . The 1970s and 1980s were notable because of the extremely low amounts of damage compared to other decades . The decade 1996 -- 2005 was the second most damaging among the past 11 decades , with only the decade 1926 -- 1935 surpassing its costs . Often in part because of the threat of hurricanes , many coastal regions had sparse population between major ports until the advent of automobile tourism ; therefore , the most severe portions of hurricanes striking the coast may have gone unmeasured in some instances . The combined effects of ship destruction and remote landfall severely limit the number of intense hurricanes in the official record before the era of hurricane reconnaissance aircraft and satellite meteorology . Although the record shows a distinct increase in the number and strength of intense hurricanes , therefore , experts regard the early data as suspect . The number and strength of Atlantic hurricanes may undergo a 50 -- 70 year cycle , also known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation . Nyberg et al. reconstructed Atlantic major hurricane activity back to the early 18th century and found five periods averaging 3 -- 5 major hurricanes per year and lasting 40 -- 60 years , and six other averaging 1.5 -- 2.5 major hurricanes per year and lasting 10 -- 20 years . These periods are associated with the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation . Throughout , a decadal oscillation related to solar irradiance was responsible for enhancing / dampening the number of major hurricanes by 1 -- 2 per year . Although more common since 1995 , few above - normal hurricane seasons occurred during 1970 -- 94 . Destructive hurricanes struck frequently from 1926 to 1960 , including many major New England hurricanes . Twenty - one Atlantic tropical storms formed in 1933 , a record only recently exceeded in 2005 , which saw 28 storms . Tropical hurricanes occurred infrequently during the seasons of 1900 -- 25 ; however , many intense storms formed during 1870 -- 99 . During the 1887 season , 19 tropical storms formed , of which a record 4 occurred after November 1 and 11 strengthened into hurricanes . Few hurricanes occurred in the 1840s to 1860s ; however , many struck in the early 19th century , including an 1821 storm that made a direct hit on New York City . Some historical weather experts say these storms may have been as high as Category 4 in strength . These active hurricane seasons predated satellite coverage of the Atlantic basin . Before the satellite era began in 1960 , tropical storms or hurricanes went undetected unless a reconnaissance aircraft encountered one , a ship reported a voyage through the storm , or a storm hit land in a populated area . Proxy records based on paleotempestological research have revealed that major hurricane activity along the Gulf of Mexico coast varies on timescales of centuries to millennia . Few major hurricanes struck the Gulf coast during 3000 -- 1400 BC and again during the most recent millennium . These quiescent intervals were separated by a hyperactive period during 1400 BC and 1000 AD , when the Gulf coast was struck frequently by catastrophic hurricanes and their landfall probabilities increased by 3 -- 5 times . This millennial - scale variability has been attributed to long - term shifts in the position of the Azores High , which may also be linked to changes in the strength of the North Atlantic oscillation . According to the Azores High hypothesis , an anti-phase pattern is expected to exist between the Gulf of Mexico coast and the Atlantic coast . During the quiescent periods , a more northeasterly position of the Azores High would result in more hurricanes being steered towards the Atlantic coast . During the hyperactive period , more hurricanes were steered towards the Gulf coast as the Azores High was shifted to a more southwesterly position near the Caribbean . Such a displacement of the Azores High is consistent with paleoclimatic evidence that shows an abrupt onset of a drier climate in Haiti around 3200 C years BP , and a change towards more humid conditions in the Great Plains during the late - Holocene as more moisture was pumped up the Mississippi Valley through the Gulf coast . Preliminary data from the northern Atlantic coast seem to support the Azores High hypothesis . A 3000 - year proxy record from a coastal lake in Cape Cod suggests that hurricane activity increased significantly during the past 500 -- 1000 years , just as the Gulf coast was amid a quiescent period of the last millennium . Climate Change Main article : Tropical cyclones and climate change The 2007 IPCC report noted many observed changes in the climate , including atmospheric composition , global average temperatures , ocean conditions , and others . The report concluded the observed increase in tropical cyclone intensity is larger than climate models predict . In addition , the report considered that it is likely that storm intensity will continue to increase through the 21st century , and declared it more likely than not that there has been some human contribution to the increases in tropical cyclone intensity . P.J. Webster and others published in 2005 an article in Science examining the `` changes in tropical cyclone number , duration , and intensity '' over the past 35 years , the period when satellite data has been available . Their main finding was although the number of cyclones decreased throughout the planet excluding the north Atlantic Ocean , there was a great increase in the number and proportion of very strong cyclones . According to 2006 studies by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , `` the strongest hurricanes in the present climate may be upstaged by even more intense hurricanes over the next century as the earth 's climate is warmed by increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere '' . Studies published since 2008 , by Kerry Emanuel from MIT , indicate that global warming is likely to increase the intensity but decrease the frequency of hurricane and cyclone activity . In an article in Nature , Kerry Emanuel stated that potential hurricane destructiveness , a measure combining hurricane strength , duration , and frequency , `` is highly correlated with tropical sea surface temperature , reflecting well - documented climate signals , including multidecadal oscillations in the North Atlantic and North Pacific , and global warming '' . Emanuel predicted `` a substantial increase in hurricane - related losses in the twenty - first century '' . Research reported in the September 3 , 2008 issue of Nature found that the strongest tropical cyclones are getting stronger , in particular over the North Atlantic and Indian oceans . Wind speeds for the strongest tropical storms increased from an average of 225 km / h ( 140 mph ) in 1981 to 251 km / h ( 156 mph ) in 2006 , while the ocean temperature , averaged globally over all the regions where tropical cyclones form , increased from 28.2 ° C ( 82.8 ° F ) to 28.5 ° C ( 83.3 ° F ) during this period . A 2017 study looked at compounding effects from floods , storm surge , and terrestrial flooding ( rivers ) , and projects an increase due to global warming . Related cyclone types Gustav on September 9 , 2002 , the first system to be given a name as a subtropical cyclone See also : Cyclone , Extratropical cyclone , and Subtropical cyclone In addition to tropical cyclones , there are two other classes of cyclones within the spectrum of cyclone types . These kinds of cyclones , known as extratropical cyclones and subtropical cyclones , can be stages a tropical cyclone passes through during its formation or dissipation . An extratropical cyclone is a storm that derives energy from horizontal temperature differences , which are typical in higher latitudes . A tropical cyclone can become extratropical as it moves toward higher latitudes if its energy source changes from heat released by condensation to differences in temperature between air masses ; although not as frequently , an extratropical cyclone can transform into a subtropical storm , and from there into a tropical cyclone . From space , extratropical storms have a characteristic `` comma - shaped '' cloud pattern . Extratropical cyclones can also be dangerous when their low - pressure centers cause powerful winds and high seas . A subtropical cyclone is a weather system that has some characteristics of a tropical cyclone and some characteristics of an extratropical cyclone . They can form in a wide band of latitudes , from the equator to 50 ° . Although subtropical storms rarely have hurricane - force winds , they may become tropical in nature as their cores warm . From an operational standpoint , a tropical cyclone is usually not considered to become subtropical during its extratropical transition . Popular culture Main article : Tropical cyclones in popular culture In popular culture , tropical cyclones have made several appearances in different types of media , including films , books , television , music , and electronic games . These media often portray tropical cyclones that are either entirely fictional or based on real events . For example , George Rippey Stewart 's Storm , a best - seller published in 1941 , is thought to have influenced meteorologists on their decision to assign female names to Pacific tropical cyclones . Another example is the hurricane in The Perfect Storm , which describes the sinking of the Andrea Gail by the 1991 Perfect Storm . Hypothetical hurricanes have been featured in parts of the plots of series such as The Simpsons , Invasion , Family Guy , Seinfeld , Dawson 's Creek , Burn Notice and CSI : Miami . The 2004 film The Day After Tomorrow includes several mentions of actual tropical cyclones and features fantastical `` hurricane - like '' , albeit non-tropical , Arctic storms .

where does a tropical cyclone or hurricane get its energy
[ "“Tropical” refers to the geographical origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively over tropical seas. “Cyclone” refers to their winds moving in a circle,[5] whirling round their central clear eye, with their winds blowing counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and blowing clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The opposite direction of circulation is due to the Coriolis effect. Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water. They derive their energy through the evaporation of water from the ocean surface, which ultimately recondenses into clouds and rain when moist air rises and cools to saturation. This energy source differs from that of mid-latitude cyclonic storms, such as nor'easters and European windstorms, which are fueled primarily by horizontal temperature contrasts. Tropical cyclones are typically between 100 and 2,000 km (62 and 1,243 mi) in diameter." ]

Week
Week - wikipedia Week Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Week ( disambiguation ) and Weeks ( disambiguation ) . An Italian cameo bracelet representing the days of the week by their eponymous deities ( mid-19th century , Walters Art Museum ) Circular diagrams showing the division of the day and of the week , from a Carolingian ms . ( Clm 14456 fol . 71r ) of St. Emmeram Abbey . The week is divided into seven days , and each day into 96 puncta ( quarter - hours ) , 240 minuta ( tenths of an hour ) and 960 momenta ( 40th parts of an hour ) . A week is a time unit equal to seven days . It is the standard time period used for cycles of rest days in most parts of the world , mostly alongside -- although not strictly part of -- the Gregorian calendar . The days of the week were named after the classical planets ( derived from the astrological system of planetary hours ) in the Roman era . In English , the names are Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday , Thursday , Friday , Saturday and Sunday . ISO 8601 includes the ISO week date system , a numbering system for weeks within a given year -- each week begins on a Monday and is associated with the year that contains that week 's Thursday ( so that if a year starts in a long weekend Friday -- Sunday , week number one of the year will start after that ) . ISO 8601 assigns numbers to the days of the week , running from 1 to 7 for Monday through to Sunday . The term `` week '' is sometimes expanded to refer to other time units comprising a few days , such as the nundinal cycle of the ancient Roman calendar or the `` work week '' or `` school week '' referring only to the days spent on those activities .

The Germanic word probably had a wider meaning prior to the adoption of the Roman calendar , perhaps `` succession series '' , as suggested by Gothic wikō translating taxis `` order '' in Luke 1 : 8 . The seven - day week is named in many languages by a word derived from `` seven '' . The archaism sennight ( `` seven - night '' ) preserves the old Germanic practice of reckoning time by nights , as in the more common fortnight ( `` fourteen - night '' ) . Hebdomad and hebdomadal week both derive from the Greek hebdomás ( ἑβδομάς , `` a seven '' ) . The obsolete septimane is cognate with the Romance terms derived from Latin septimana ( `` a seven '' ) . Slavic has a formation * tъ ( žь ) dьnь ( Serbo - Croatian тједан , Ukrainian тиждень , Czech týden , Polish tydzień ) , from * tъ `` this '' + * dьnь `` day '' , in some cases alongside nedělja ( OCS нєдѣлꙗ ) , a loan - translation of Latin feria and sedmitsa ( седмица ) , as ἑβδομάς derived from `` seven '' . Chinese has 星期 , as it were `` planetary time unit '' . Definition and duration ( edit ) A week is defined as an interval of exactly seven days , so that technically , except at daylight saving time transitions or leap seconds , 1 week = 7 days = 168 hours = 10,080 minutes = 604,800 seconds . With respect to the Gregorian calendar : 1 Gregorian calendar year = 52 weeks + 1 day ( 2 days in a leap year ) 1 week = ​ ⁄ ≈ 22.9984 % of an average Gregorian month In a Gregorian mean year , there are 365.2425 days , and thus exactly ​ 52 ⁄ or 52.1775 weeks ( unlike the Julian year of 365.25 days or ​ 52 ⁄ ≈ 52.1786 weeks , which can not be represented by a finite decimal expansion ) . There are exactly 20,871 weeks in 400 Gregorian years , so 10 April 1618 was a Tuesday just like 10 April 2018 . Relative to the path of the Moon , a week is 23.659 % of an average lunation , or 94.637 % of an average quarter lunation . Historically , the system of Dominical letters ( letters A to G identifying the weekday of the first day of a given year ) has been used to facilitate calculation of the day of week . The day of the week can be easily calculated given a date 's Julian day number ( JD , i.e. the integer value at noon UT ) : Adding one to the remainder after dividing the Julian day number by seven ( JD modulo 7 + 1 ) yields that date 's ISO 8601 day of the week ( for example , the Julian day number of 10 April 2018 is 2458219 . Calculating ( 2458219 mod 7 + 1 ) yields 2 , corresponding to Tuesday . ) . Days of the week ( edit ) Main article : Names of the days of the week Schematic comparison of the ordering of the classical planets ( arranged in a circle ) and the sequence of days in the week ( forming a ( 7 / 3 ) heptagram within the circle ) . The days of the week were originally named for the classical planets . This naming system persisted alongside an `` ecclesiastical '' tradition of numbering the days , in ecclesiastical Latin beginning with dominica ( the Day of the Lord ) as the first day . The Greco - Roman gods associated with the classical planets were rendered in their interpretatio germanica at some point during the late Roman Empire , yielding the Germanic tradition of names based on indigenous deities . The ordering of the weekday names is not the classical order of the planets ( by distance in the planetary spheres model , or , equivalently , by their apparent speed of movement in the night sky ) . Instead , the planetary hours systems resulted in succeeding days being named for planets that are three places apart in their traditional listing . This characteristic was apparently discussed in Plutarch in a treatise written in c . AD 100 , which is reported to have addressed the question of Why are the days named after the planets reckoned in a different order from the actual order ? ( the text of Plutarch 's treatise has been lost ) . Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Planet Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturn Greco - Roman deity Helios - Sol Selene - Luna Ares - Mars Hermes - Mercury Zeus - Jupiter Aphrodite - Venus Cronus - Saturn Greek : ἡμέρα Ἡλίου ἡμέρα Σελήνης ἡμέρα Ἄρεως ἡμέρα Ἑρμοῦ ἡμέρα Διός ἡμέρα Ἀφροδίτης ἡμέρα Κρόνου Latin : dies Sōlis dies Lūnae dies Martis dies Mercuriī dies Iovis dies Veneris dies Saturnī interpretatio germanica Sun Moon Tiwaz Wodanaz Þunraz Frige -- Old English sunnandæg mōnandæg tiwesdæg wōdnesdæg þunresdæg frīgedæg sæterndæg An ecclesiastical , non-astrological , system of numbering the days of the week was adopted in Late Antiquity . This model also seems to have influenced ( presumably via Gothic ) the designation of Wednesday as `` mid-week '' in Old High German ( mittawehha ) and Old Church Slavonic ( срѣда ) . Old Church Slavonic may have also modeled the name of Monday , понєдѣльникъ , after the Latin feria secunda . The ecclesiastical system became prevalent in Eastern Christianity , but in the Latin West it remains extant only in modern Icelandic , Galician and Portuguese . 1 . Sunday ( Christian Sabbath ) 2 .

Saturday ( Jewish Sabbath ) Greek Κυριακὴ ἡμέρα / kiriaki iméra / Δευτέρα ἡμέρα / devtéra iméra / Τρίτη ἡμέρα / tríti iméra / Τετάρτη ἡμέρα / tetárti iméra / Πέμπτη ἡμέρα / pémpti iméra / Παρασκευὴ ἡμέρα / paraskevi iméra / Σάββατον / sáb : aton / Latin ( dies ) dominica ; rarely feria prima , feria dominica feria secunda feria tertia feria quarta ; rarely media septimana feria quinta feria sexta Sabbatum ; dies sabbatinus , dies Sabbati ; rarely feria septima , feria Sabbati History ( edit ) A continuous seven - day cycle that runs throughout history paying no attention whatsoever to the phases of the moon was probably first practiced in Judaism , dated to the 6th century BC at the latest . There are several hypotheses concerning the origin of the biblical seven - day cycle . Friedrich Delitzsch and others suggested that the seven - day week being approximately a quarter of a lunation is the implicit astronomical origin of the seven - day week , and indeed the Babylonian calendar used intercalary days to synchronize the last week of a month with the new moon . According to this theory , the Jewish week was adopted from the Babylonians while removing the moon - dependency . However , Niels - Erik Andreasen , Jeffrey H. Tigay and others claimed that the sabbath is mentioned as a day of rest in some of the earliest layers of the Pentateuch dated to the 9th century BC at the latest , centuries before Judea 's Babylonian exile . They also find the resemblance between the biblical Sabbath and the Babylonian system weak . Therefore they suggested that the seven - day week may reflect an independent Israelite tradition . Tigay writes : It is clear that among neighboring nations that were in position to have an influence over Israel - and in fact which did influence it in various matters - there is no precise parallel to the Israelite Sabbatical week . This leads to the conclusion that the Sabbatical week , which is as unique to Israel as the Sabbath from which it flows , is an independent Israelite creation . The seven - day week seems to have been adopted , at different stages , by the Persian Empire , in Hellenistic astrology , and ( via Greek transmission ) in Gupta India and Tang China . The Babylonian system was received by the Greeks in the 4th century BC ( notably via Eudoxus of Cnidus ) . However the designation of the seven days of the week to the seven planets is an innovation introduced in the time of Augustus . The astrological concept of planetary hours is rather an original innovation of Hellenistic astrology , probably first conceived in the 2nd century BC . The seven day week was widely known throughout the Roman Empire by the 1st century AD , along with references to the Jewish Sabbath by Roman scholars such as Seneca and Ovid . The seven day cycle ultimately replaced the older Roman system of the nundinal cycle , probably during the 4th century . Ancient near East ( edit ) The earliest evidence of an astrological significance of a seven - day period is connected to Gudea , priest - king of Lagash in Sumer during the Gutian dynasty , who built a seven - room temple , which he dedicated with a seven - day festival . In the flood story of the Assyro - Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh the storm lasts for seven days , the dove is sent out after seven days , and the Noah - like character of Utnapishtim leaves the ark seven days after it reaches firm ground . It seems likely that the Hebrew seven - day week is based on the Babylonian tradition , although going through certain adaptations . George Aaron Barton speculated that the seven - day creation account of Genesis is connected to the Babylonian creation epic , Enûma Eliš , which is recorded on seven tablets . Counting from the new moon , the Babylonians celebrated the 7th , 14th , 21st and 28th as `` holy - days '' , also called `` evil days '' ( meaning `` unsuitable '' for prohibited activities ) . On these days , officials were prohibited from various activities and common men were forbidden to `` make a wish '' , and at least the 28th was known as a `` rest - day '' . On each of them , offerings were made to a different god and goddess . In a frequently - quoted suggestion going back to the early 20th century the Hebrew Sabbath is compared to the Sumerian sa - bat `` mid-rest '' , a term for the full moon . The Sumerian term has been reconstructed as rendered Sapattu or Sabattu in Babylonian , possibly present in the lost fifth tablet of the Enûma Eliš , tentatively reconstructed `` ( Sa ) bbath shalt thou then encounter , mid ( month ) ly '' . Achaemenid period ( edit ) The Zoroastrian calendar follows the Babylonian in relating the seventh and other days of the month to Ahura Mazda . The forerunner of all modern Zoroastrian calendars is the system used to determine dates in the Persian Empire , adopted from the Babylonian calendar by the 4th century BC . Frank C. Senn in his book Christian Liturgy : Catholic and Evangelical points to data suggesting evidence of an early continuous use of a seven - day week ; referring to the Jews during the Babylonian Captivity in the 6th century BC , after the destruction of the Temple of Solomon . While the seven - day week in Judaism is tied to Creation account in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible ( where God creates the heavens and the earth in six days and rests on the seventh ; Genesis 1 : 1 -- 2 : 3 , in the Book of Exodus , the fourth of the Ten Commandments is to rest on the seventh day , Shabbat , which can be seen as implying a socially instituted seven - day week ) , it is not clear whether the Genesis narrative predates the Babylonian Captivity of the Jews in the 6th century BC . At least since the Second Temple period under Persian rule , Judaism relied on the seven - day cycle of recurring Sabbaths . Tablets from the Achaemenid period indicate that the lunation of 29 or 30 days basically contained three seven - day weeks , and a final week of eight or nine days inclusive , breaking the continuous seven - day cycle . The Babylonians additionally celebrated the 19th as a special `` evil day '' , the `` day of anger '' , because it was roughly the 49th day of the ( preceding ) month , completing a `` week of weeks '' , also with sacrifices and prohibitions . Difficulties with Friedrich Delitzsch 's origin theory connecting Hebrew Shabbat with the Babylonian lunar cycle include reconciling the differences between an unbroken week and a lunar week , and explaining the absence of texts naming the lunar week as Shabbat in any language . Hellenistic and Roman era ( edit ) Main article : Nundinae In Jewish sources by the time of the Septuagint , the term `` Sabbath '' ( Greek Sabbaton ) by synecdoche also came to refer to an entire seven - day week , the interval between two weekly Sabbaths . Jesus 's parable of the Pharisee and the Publican ( Luke 18 : 12 ) describes the Pharisee as fasting `` twice in the week '' ( Greek δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου dis tou sabbatou ) . The ancient Romans traditionally used the eight - day nundinum but , after the Julian calendar had come into effect in 45 BC , the seven - day week came into increasing use . For a while , the week and the nundinal cycle coexisted , but by the time the week was officially adopted by Constantine in AD 321 , the nundinal cycle had fallen out of use . The association of the days of the week with the Sun , the Moon and the five planets visible to the naked eye dates to the Roman era ( 2nd century ) . The continuous seven - day cycle of the days of the week can be traced back to the reign of Augustus ; the first identifiable date cited complete with day of the week is 6 February AD 60 , identified as a `` Sunday '' ( as viii idus Februarius dies solis `` eighth day before the ides of February , day of the Sun '' ) in a Pompeiian graffito . According to the currently - used Julian calendar , 6 February 60 was , however , a Wednesday . This is explained by the existence of two conventions of naming days of the weeks based on the planetary hours system : 6 February was a `` Sunday '' based on the sunset naming convention , and a `` Wednesday '' based on the sunrise naming convention . Adoption in asia ( edit ) China ( edit ) The earliest known reference in Chinese writings to a seven - day week is attributed to Fan Ning , who lived in the late 4th century in the Jin Dynasty , while diffusions from the Manichaeans are documented with the writings of the Chinese Buddhist monk Yi Jing and the Ceylonese or Central Asian Buddhist monk Bu Kong of the 7th century ( Tang Dynasty ) . The Chinese variant of the planetary system was brought to Japan by the Japanese monk Kobo Daishi ( 9th century ) . Surviving diaries of the Japanese statesman Fujiwara Michinaga show the seven - day system in use in Heian Japan as early as 1007 . In Japan , the seven - day system was kept in use for astrological purposes until its promotion to a full - fledged Western - style calendrical basis during the Meiji era . India ( edit ) The seven - day week was known in India by the 6th century , referenced in the Pañcasiddhāntikā . Shashi ( 2000 ) mentions the Garga Samhita , which he places in the 1st century BC or AD , as a possible earlier reference to a seven - day week in India . He concludes `` the above references furnish a terminus ad quem ( viz . 1st century ) The terminus a quo can not be stated with certainty '' . Christian europe ( edit ) Further information : Holy Week and Easter Week The seven - day weekly cycle has remained unbroken in Christendom , and hence in Western history , for almost two millennia , despite changes to the Coptic , Julian , and Gregorian calendars , demonstrated by the date of Easter Sunday having been traced back through numerous computistic tables to an Ethiopic copy of an early Alexandrian table beginning with the Easter of AD 311 . A tradition of divinations arranged for the days of the week on which certain feast days occur develops in the Early Medieval period . There are many later variants of this , including the German Bauern - Praktik and the versions of Erra Pater published in 16th to 17th century England , mocked in Samuel Butler 's Hudibras . South and East Slavic versions are known as koliadniki ( from koliada , a loan of Latin calendae ) , with Bulgarian copies dating from the 13th century , and Serbian versions from the 14th century . Medieval Christian traditions associated with the lucky or unlucky nature of certain days of the week survived into the modern period . This concerns primarily Friday , associated with the crucifixion of Jesus . Sunday , sometimes personified as Saint Anastasia , was itself an object of worship in Russia , a practice denounced in a sermon extant in copies going back to the 14th century . Sunday , in the ecclesiastical numbering system also counted as the feria prima or the first day of the week ; yet , at the same time , figures as the `` eighth day '' , and has occasionally been so called in Christian liturgy . Justin Martyr wrote : `` the first day after the Sabbath , remaining the first of all the days , is called , however , the eighth , according to the number of all the days of the cycle , and ( yet ) remains the first '' . A period of eight days , starting and ending on a Sunday , is called an octave , particularly in Roman Catholic liturgy . In German , the phrase in acht Tagen ( literally `` in eight days '' ) means one week from today . Week numbering ( edit ) Further information : Leap week calendar Weeks in a Gregorian calendar year can be numbered for each year . This style of numbering is commonly used ( for example , by schools and businesses ) in some European and Asian countries , but rare elsewhere . ISO 8601 includes the ISO week date system , a numbering system for weeks -- each week begins on a Monday and is associated with the year that contains that week 's Thursday ( so that if a year starts in a long weekend Friday -- Sunday , week number one of the year will start after that ) . For example , week 1 of 2004 ( 2004W01 ) ran from Monday , 29 December 2003 to Sunday , 4 January 2004 , because its Thursday was 1 January 2004 , whereas week 1 of 2005 ( 2005W01 ) ran from Monday , 3 January 2005 to Sunday , 9 January 2005 , because its Thursday was 6 January 2005 and so the first Thursday of 2005 . The highest week number in a year is either 52 or 53 ( it was 53 in the year 2004 ) . Schematically , this ISO convention translates as follows : Dates in January Effect Week number Week assigned to 5 6 7 New year 5 6 New year 5 New year New year 53 Previous year 53 when leap year , 52 when normal year Previous year 52 Previous year In some countries , though , the numbering system is different from the ISO standard . At least six numberings are in use : System First day of week First week of year contains Can also be last week of previous year Used by / in ISO - 8601 Monday 4 January 1st Thursday 4 -- 7 days of year yes EU and most of other European countries , most of Asia and Oceania ( Middle Eastern ) Saturday 1 January 1st Friday 1 -- 7 days of year yes Much of the Middle East ( North American and islamic ) Sunday 1 January 1st Saturday 1 -- 7 days of year yes Canada , United States , India , Japan , Taiwan , Hong Kong , Macau , Israel , South Africa , most of Latin America The semiconductor package date code is often a 4 digit date code YYWW where the first two digits YY are the last 2 digits of the calendar year and the last two digits WW are the two - digit week number . The tire date code mandated by the US DOT is a 4 digit date code WWYY with two digits of the week number WW followed by the last two digits of the calendar year YY . `` Weeks '' in other calendars ( edit ) The term `` week '' is sometimes expanded to refer to other time units comprising a few days . Such `` weeks '' of between four and ten days have been used historically in various places . Intervals longer than 10 days are not usually termed `` weeks '' as they are closer in length to the fortnight or the month than to the seven - day week . Pre-modern calendars ( edit ) Calendars unrelated to the Chaldean , Hellenistic , Christian or Jewish traditions often have time cycles between the day and the month of varying lengths , sometimes also called `` weeks '' . An eight - day week was used in Ancient Rome and possibly in the pre-Christian Celtic calendar . Traces of a nine - day week are found in Baltic languages and in Welsh . The ancient Chinese calendar had a ten - day week , as did the ancient Egyptian calendar ( and , incidentally , the French Republican Calendar , dividing its 30 - day months into thirds ) . A six - day week is found in the Akan Calendar . Several cultures used a five - day week , including the 10th century Icelandic calendar , the Javanese calendar , and the traditional cycle of market days in Korea . The Igbo have a `` market week '' of four days . Evidence of a `` three - day week '' has been derived from the names of the days of the week in Guipuscoan Basque . The Aztecs and Mayas used the Mesoamerican calendars . The most important of these calendars divided a ritual cycle of 260 days ( known as Tonalpohualli in Nahuatl and Tzolk'in in Yucatec Maya ) into 20 weeks of 13 days ( known in Spanish as trecenas ) . They also divided the solar year into 18 periods of 20 days and five nameless days , creating a 20 - day month divided into four five - day weeks . The end of each five - day week was a market day . The Balinese Pawukon is a 210 - day calendar consisting of 10 different simultaneously running weeks of 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 and 10 days , of which the weeks of 4 , 8 and 9 days are interrupted to fit into the 210 - day cycle . Modern calendar reforms ( edit ) Further information : Decimal calendar , French Revolutionary Calendar § Ten days of the week , Bahá'í calendar , International Fixed Calendar , and Soviet calendar A 10 - day week , called décade , was used in France for nine and a half years from October 1793 to April 1802 ; furthermore , the Paris Commune adopted the Revolutionary Calendar for 18 days in 1871 . The Bahá'í calendar features a 19 - day period which some classify as a month and others classify as a week . The International Fixed Calendar ( also known as the `` Eastman plan '' ) fixed every date always on the same weekday . This plan kept a 7 - day week while defining a year of 13 months with 28 days each . It was the official calendar of the Eastman Kodak Company for decades . Soviet calendar `` Twenty - first year of the socialist revolution '' 12 December 1937 ( Below 12 : ) `` Sixth day of the six - day week '' -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- `` Election day for the Supreme Soviet of the USSR '' Between 1929 and 1931 , the USSR changed from the seven - day week to a five - day week . There were 72 weeks and an additional five national holidays inserted within three of them , totaling a year of 365 days . In 1931 , after its brief experiment with a five - day week , the Soviet Union changed to a six - day week . Every sixth day ( 6th , 12th , 18th , 24th and 30th ) of the Gregorian Calendar was a state rest day . The five additional national holidays in the earlier five - day week remained and did not fall on the state rest day . But , as January , March , May , July , August , October and December have 31 days , the week after the state rest day of the 30th was seven days long ( 31st -- 7th ) . This extra day was a working day for most or an extra holiday for others . Also as February is only 28 or 29 days depending on whether it is a leap year or not , the first of March was also made a state rest day , although not every enterprise conformed to this . To clarify , the week after the state rest day , 24 / 25 February to 1 March , was only five or six days long , depending on whether it was a leap year or not . The week after that , 2 to 6 March , was only five days long . The calendar was abandoned 26 June 1940 and the seven - day week reintroduced the next day .

The CJI also heads their administrative functions . As head of the supreme court , the chief justice is responsible for the allocation of cases and appointment of constitutional benches which deal with important matters of law . In accordance with Article 145 of the Constitution of India and the Supreme Court Rules of Procedure of 1966 , the Chief Justice allocates all work to the other judges who are bound to refer the matter back to him or her ( for re-allocation ) in any case where they require it to be looked into by a larger bench of more judges . On the administrative side , the Chief Justice carries out the following functions : maintenance of the roster ; appointment of court officials and general and miscellaneous matters relating to the supervision and functioning of the Supreme Court . It has been an unbroken convention for decades now , to appoint the senior-most judge of the supreme court as the CJI . The present CJI is Justice Dipak Misra and is the 45th CJI since January 1950 , the year the Constitution came into effect and the supreme court came into being . He succeeded Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar on 28 August 2017 and will remain in office till 2 October 2018 , the day he retires on turning 65 years in age . Contents ( hide ) 1 Appointment 2 Removal 3 Acting President 4 List of Chief Justices of India 5 Remuneration 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Appointment ( edit ) Article 124 of the Constitution of India provides for the manner of appointing judges to the Supreme Court . Though no specific provision exists in the Constitution for appointing the Chief Justice , who , as a result , is appointed like the other judges conventionally , the outgoing CJI recommends the name of the senior-most judge ( i.e. by date of appointment to the Supreme Court ) for appointment by the President of India , as his successor . Once earlier , when prime minister Nehru wanted to see Justice M.C. Mahajan , next in line to become the CJI , superseded on Justice Patanjali Sastri 's retirement , three judges of the supreme court , including Justice Mukherjea , who Nehru wanted as the next Chief Justice , offered to resign . He relented before the judges and the convention of seniority in appointment was left undisturbed . On the contrary , this convention has been breached on a few occasions during the tenure of prime minister Indira Gandhi . She got Justice A.N. Ray appointed as CJI , superseding three judges senior to him allegedly because he had favoured her government , and when Justice H.R. Khanna was overlooked for the post for upholding the constitution as superior to her government 's acts and for curtailing her powers which she had arrogated to herself during the Emergency Removal ( edit ) Article 124 ( 4 ) of Constitution of India lays down the procedure for removal of a Judge of Supreme Court which is applicable to Chief Justice as well . Once appointed , the Chief Justice remains in s office until the age of 65 years . He can be removed only through a process of impeachment by Parliament as follows : A Judge of the Supreme Court shall not be removed from his office except by an order of the President passed after an address by each House of Parliament supported by a majority of the total membership of that House and by a majority of not less than two - thirds of the members of that House present and voting has been presented to the President in the same session for such removal on the ground of proved misbehaviour or incapacity . -- Article 124 ( 4 ) , Constitution of India , Source : Acting President ( edit ) The President ( Discharge of Functions ) Act , 1969 of India provides that the Chief Justice of India ( CJI ) shall act as the President of India in the event of the offices of both the President and the Vice President being vacant . When President Zakir Hussain died in office , the Vice President V.V. Giri , acted as the President . Later , Mr. Giri resigned as the Vice President . The CJI , Justice Mohammad Hidayatullah then became the acting President of India . The senior-most judge of the Supreme Court became the acting CJI . When the newly elected President took office a month later , Justice Hidayatullah reverted as the Chief Justice of India , List of Chief Justices of India ( edit ) Number Hon'ble Justice Mr .

who appoints the chief justice of supreme court of india
[ "Article 124 of the Constitution of India provides for the manner of appointing judges to the Supreme Court. Though no specific provision exists in the Constitution for appointing the Chief Justice, who, as a result, is appointed like the other judges[6] conventionally, the outgoing CJI recommends the name of the senior-most judge (i.e. by date of appointment to the Supreme Court) for appointment by the President of India, as his successor.[7][8]" ]

Academy Award for Best Director
Academy award for Best director - wikipedia Academy award for Best director Jump to : navigation , search Academy Award for Best Director Current recipient : Guillermo del Toro Awarded for Excellence in Cinematic Direction Achievement Country United States Presented by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ( AMPAS ) First awarded 1929 ( for direction in films released during the 1927 / 1928 film season ) Currently held by Guillermo del Toro The Shape of Water ( 2017 ) Website oscars.org The Academy Award for Best Director ( officially known as the Academy Award for Best Directing ) is an award presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ( AMPAS ) . It is given in honor of a film director who has exhibited outstanding directing while working in the film industry . The 1st Academy Awards ceremony was held in 1929 with the award being split into `` Dramatic '' and `` Comedy '' categories ; Frank Borzage and Lewis Milestone won for 7th Heaven and Two Arabian Knights , respectively . However , these categories were merged for all subsequent ceremonies . Nominees are determined by single transferable vote within the directors branch of AMPAS ; winners are selected by a plurality vote from the entire eligible voting members of the Academy . For the first eleven years of the Academy Awards , directors were allowed to be nominated for multiple films in the same year . However , after the nomination of Michael Curtiz for two films , Angels with Dirty Faces and Four Daughters , at the 11th Academy Awards , the rules were revised so that an individual could only be nominated for one film at each ceremony . That rule has since been amended , although the only director who has received multiple nominations in the same year was Steven Soderbergh for Erin Brockovich and Traffic in 2000 , winning the award for the latter . The Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture have been very closely linked throughout their history . Of the 90 films that have been awarded Best Picture , 64 have also been awarded Best Director . Since its inception , the award has been given to 69 directors or directing teams . John Ford has received the most awards in this category with four . William Wyler was nominated on twelve occasions , more than any other individual . Damien Chazelle became the youngest director in history to receive this award , at the age of 32 for his work on La La Land . Two directing teams have shared the award ; Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins for West Side Story in 1961 and Joel and Ethan Coen for No Country for Old Men in 2007 . The Coen brothers are the only siblings to have won the award . Kathryn Bigelow is the only woman to have won the award , for 2009 's The Hurt Locker . As of the 2018 ceremony , Guillermo del Toro is the most recent winner in this category for his work on The Shape of Water .

Peter Pan (1954 musical)
Peter Pan ( 1954 musical ) - wikipedia Peter Pan ( 1954 musical ) Jump to : navigation , search Peter Pan Original Cast Recording Music Jule Styne Mark Charlap Trude Rittmann ( dance arrangements ) Lyrics Betty Comden Adolph Green Carolyn Leigh Book Sir James M. Barrie Basis Sir J.M. Barrie 's play Peter Pan Productions 1954 Broadway 1955 television 1956 television 1960 television 1979 Broadway revival 1990 Broadway revival 1998 Broadway revival 2014 television Peter Pan is a musical based on J.M. Barrie 's 1904 play Peter Pan and Barrie 's own novelization of it , Peter and Wendy . The music is mostly by Mark `` Moose '' Charlap , with additional music by Jule Styne , and most of the lyrics were written by Carolyn Leigh , with additional lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green . The original 1954 Broadway production , starring Mary Martin as Peter and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook , earned Tony Awards for both stars . It was followed by NBC telecasts of it in 1955 , 1956 , and 1960 with the same stars , plus several rebroadcasts of the 1960 telecast . In 2014 , the musical was broadcast on NBC featuring several new numbers , and starring Allison Williams and Christopher Walken . The show has enjoyed several revivals onstage . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background and original 1954 production 2 Television productions 3 Casts of major productions 4 Later revivals 5 Synopsis 5.1 Act I 5.2 Act II 5.3 Act III 6 Musical numbers 7 Roles 8 Awards and nominations 8.1 Original Broadway production 8.2 1979 Broadway revival 8.3 1990 Broadway revival 8.4 1998 Broadway revival 9 References 10 Further reading 11 External links Background and original 1954 production ( edit ) Several productions of Peter Pan were staged early in the 20th century , starting in London in 1904 , starring Nina Boucicault as Peter and on Broadway in 1905 , starring Maude Adams . In a nod to the original play , and the pantomime tradition it derives from , the title role of Peter Pan in the musical is usually played by a woman , including Mary Martin , Sandy Duncan and Cathy Rigby , among others . Producer Edwin Lester , founder and director of the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera , acquired the American rights to adapt Peter Pan as a play with music for Mary Martin . The show was not successful in its pre-Broadway West Coast tour , so director Jerome Robbins hired lyricists Comden and Green and composer Jule Styne to add more songs , including `` Never Never Land , '' `` Distant Melody '' and several other numbers , turning the show into a full - scale musical . The musical , instead of using Barrie 's original ending , in which Peter simply let Wendy and the other children return home , includes an additional scene that Barrie had written later and titled An Afterthought ( later included by Barrie in his 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy ) . In this ending , Peter returns after many years to take Wendy back to Never Never Land for spring cleaning . He finds that he has been away so long that Wendy is now an adult , married woman with a daughter . Despondent at first , he is delighted when Wendy 's daughter Jane offers to be his new mother , and instead takes her with him . The musical premiered at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco on July 19 , 1954 . The initial four - week run was followed by an eight - week engagement in Los Angeles . The show opened on Broadway on October 20 , 1954 at the Winter Garden Theatre for a planned limited run of 152 performances . The busy 1954 Broadway season also included The Boy Friend , Fanny , Silk Stockings and Damn Yankees . While still in tryouts , a deal was made for Peter Pan to be broadcast on the NBC anthology series Producers ' Showcase on March 7 , 1955 , which ensured that it was a financial success despite the limited run . The revised score and Tony Award - winning performances by Martin and Cyril Ritchard made the musical a critical success , and tickets sold out throughout the Broadway run . The show closed on February 26 , 1955 to prepare for the television broadcast . A Broadway cast album was made of the songs , and it is still in print today . Television productions ( edit ) In 1954 , Fred Coe , production manager for NBC in New York , began producing Producers ' Showcase , a 90 - minute anthology series that aired every fourth Monday for three seasons . One aim of the series was to broadcast expensive color spectaculars to promote the new color television system developed by NBC 's parent company RCA . Martin as Peter Pan . On March 7 , 1955 , NBC presented Peter Pan live as part of Producers ' Showcase ( with nearly all of the show 's original cast ) as the first full - length Broadway production on color TV . The show attracted a then - record audience of 65 - million viewers , the highest ever up to that time for a single television program . Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard had already won Tony Awards for their stage performances , and Martin won an Emmy Award for the television production . It was so well received that the musical was restaged live for television ( again on Producers ' Showcase ) on January 9 , 1956 . Both of these broadcasts were produced live and in color , but only black - and - white kinescope recordings survive . Peter Pan was restaged on December 8 , 1960 , this time in a 100 - minute version rather than 90 minutes ( not counting the commercials ) , and with a slightly different cast because the original children had outgrown their roles . Producers ' Showcase had long since gone off the air , so the 1960 production was intended as a `` stand alone '' special instead of an episode of an anthology series . Act II was split into two acts , for a total of five acts instead of three , to allow for more commercial breaks . This version was videotaped in color at NBC 's Brooklyn studio . Martin was also starring in Broadway 's The Sound of Music at the time . The production was directed for television by Vincent J. Donehue , who received a Director 's Guild Award for it . Peter Foy re-created the signature flying sequences he had staged for the 1954 Broadway production and the two Producers ' Showcase broadcasts . This 1960 version was rebroadcast in 1963 , 1966 and 1973 . The video tape of that production was restored and rebroadcast by NBC on March 24 , 1989 , then again on March 31 , 1991 , after which it went to the Disney Channel , where it was shown several times more . Beginning in 1989 , the program was slightly cut to make room for more commercial time . Eliminated completely was a dance that Liza ( the Darling family maid ) and the animals of Neverland perform to an orchestral version of Never Never Land . Also eliminated was Mary Martin 's curtain speech at the end thanking NBC for making the program possible , which , in the 1960 , 1963 , and 1966 telecasts led directly into the closing credits . Gone also was the intertitle bearing the credit Peter Pan : Act III , but not the other intertitle credits , so that the show seemed to be performed in three acts , just as in the stage version . This 1960 production of Peter Pan was released on VHS home video in 1990 and on DVD on October 19 , 1999 . None of the three Mary Martin television versions of Peter Pan was telecast from a theatre with a live audience . All three were performed in the NBC studios . In 2014 , NBC broadcast Peter Pan Live ! , a new production of the musical starring Allison Williams as Peter , Christopher Walken as Captain Hook , Kelli O'Hara as Mrs. Darling , Christian Borle as Mr. Darling / Mr. Smee and Minnie Driver as the adult Wendy . Critical reviews were mixed , with many reviewers expressing relief that the broadcast was not a disaster .

Marks Arnold Soboloff Don Potter Michael Nostrand Christian Borle Later revivals ( edit ) The show was revived in 1979 on Broadway at the Lunt - Fontanne Theatre , produced by Nancy and Ronnie Horowitz , starring Sandy Duncan and George Rose , and ran for 554 performances . Duncan was nominated for the Best Actress Tony , and the show was nominated for Best Revival of a Musical . A third Broadway production was mounted in 1990 , originally at the Lunt - Fontanne , running for 45 performances . A return engagement opened 10 months later , this time at the Minskoff Theatre , running for an additional 48 performances . Both engagements starred former Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby as Peter ; the first co-starred Stephen Hanan and the second J.K. Simmons . The production was nominated for Best Revival of a Musical at the 1991 Tonys , and Rigby was nominated for Best Actress . Rigby returned to Broadway as Peter Pan in 1998 at the Marquis Theatre , with Paul Schoeffler co-starring . This production ran for 48 performances . A return engagement with the same stars opened in 1999 at the George Gershwin Theatre and ran for 166 performances . This engagement was nominated for the 1999 Tony for Best Revival of a Musical . It was then recorded at the La Mirada Theater for broadcast in October 2000 on the A&E Network . The video release cuts the program to about 96 minutes and was shot using eight cameras , produced by Line By Line Productions for McCoy / Rigby Entertainment , directed by Gary Halvorson and produced by Marc Bauman . Designers of the production were John Iacovelli ( set ) , Shigeru Yaji ( costumes ) and Martin Aronstein ( lights ) . Flying illusions are by ZFX Inc . Craig Barna is the musical director . It reconceived the potentially offensive `` Ugg - a-Wugg '' song about Native Americans as a percussive dance number . The flying effects were changed to include some flights that were not practical to do in the theatrical version , such as the somersault flips during `` I 'm Flying '' , and electronically erasing the wires . Jack Noseworthy is the only male actor to have played Peter Pan on Broadway ; he was an understudy in the revue Jerome Robbins ' Broadway . Synopsis ( edit ) Act I ( edit ) The Darling Nursery As Mr. and Mrs. Darling prepare for an evening out , two of their children , Wendy and John , play at being their parents . When Mrs. Darling notices Michael is left out , she gets him into the game and joins in with all of them ( `` 1 , 2 , 3 '' ) watched by the dog Nana , their nursemaid . When Mr. Darling comes in to have his tie tied , he questions having a dog as a nursemaid , but Mrs. Darling defends her . The previous week , while the children slept , Nana saw a boy in the room who flew out of the window before she could catch him , leaving behind his shadow , which Mrs. Darling has put away in a drawer . In spite of this , Mr. Darling insists on Nana spending the night downstairs . Mrs. Darling and the children sing a lullaby ( `` Tender Shepherd '' ) . Peter Pan shows the Darling children he can fly . The children fall asleep . A fairy , Tinker Bell , and Peter Pan fly in through the window to look for his shadow . Wendy is woken up by the boy 's cries when he is unable to re-attach his shadow and helps him by sewing it back on . Peter is thrilled when his shadow is re-attached ( `` I 've Gotta Crow '' ) and tells her that he lives in Neverland ( `` Never Never Land '' ) with the Lost Boys . Wendy wakes her brothers up , and Peter invites them all to Neverland , and promises to teach them to fly . Peter happily launches himself into the air ( `` I 'm Flying '' ) . Peter sprinkles the children with fairy dust and tells them to `` think lovely thoughts '' ( `` I 'm Flying -- Reprise '' ) . The children follow Peter , but Michael goes back when maid Liza comes into the room , giving her some of his fairy dust and inviting her to come to Neverland with them . Act II ( edit ) Never Land Peter 's `` Lost Boys '' are standing outside their underground lair , wondering when he will return , when they hear Captain Hook and his pirates ( `` Pirate Song '' ) . The boys hide . Hook tells Smee , his right - hand man , that he wants to kill Peter , because he cut off his hand and threw it to a crocodile , which has since then developed a taste for Hook and follows him around . Luckily for Hook , the crocodile has swallowed a clock that ticks and alerts Hook to its presence . Hook accidentally stumbles upon the entrance to the hideout , and summons Smee and his men to provide background music while he plans the Boys ' demise ( `` Hook 's Tango '' ) , a rich cake with poisonous icing . Hook suddenly hears a loud tick - tock ; the crocodile appears but Hook escapes . The pirates flee , and the Boys reappear , thinking they are safe . Suddenly , a group of `` Indians '' appears , led by Tiger Lily ( `` Indians '' ) . They leave the Boys alone , and go on hunting the pirates . The Lost Boys suddenly spot Wendy in the sky and taking her for a bird , one of them shoots an arrow . Peter , Michael and John land to find the arrow lodged in her heart , although she is n't dead . The Lost Boys build a house around her , hoping that she will become their mother ( `` Wendy '' ) , to which , when she wakes up , she agrees . Hook plants the cake , but Wendy does n't let the children eat it as she knows it would n't be good for them ; instead , she tells the Boys stories . Hook is infuriated that the Boys have found a mother . He plots to kidnap Wendy and the Boys , while Smee and the pirates play a `` Tarantella '' . After the pirates leave for their ship , Liza arrives and dances with the animals of Neverland while Peter keeps watch outside the house . A few days pass with everyone having adventures . One day in the forest , after Peter leads the Boys in their anthem ( `` I Wo n't Grow Up '' ) , they almost run into the pirates , who have captured Tiger Lily and tie her to a tree . Peter hides and mimics Hook 's voice , ordering the men to release her . When Hook arrives , he is enraged and demands that the `` spirit of the forest '' speak to him . Peter tricks them all into thinking he is Hook , and that the real Hook is a codfish . Hook asks the `` spirit '' to reveal its true identity . Peter obliges , pretending to be a `` beautiful lady '' ( `` Oh , My Mysterious Lady '' ) and Hook and his pirates try to ambush Peter , but they are chased away by Tiger Lily and her tribe of Native Americans . Back at the hideout , Tiger Lily and her tribe are almost shot by the Boys , until Peter reveals the truce between them . They smoke a peace pipe and vow eternal friendship ( `` Ugg - a-Wugg '' ) . Tiger Lily and her Indians leave to stand guard around the house above . Wendy asks Peter to sing the Boys a lullaby ( `` Distant Melody '' ) . Michael and John want to return home , and Wendy admits to being homesick , too . The Boys wish they had parents , and Wendy offers hers to all of them . Everyone is excited about being adopted , except Peter , who says he will not go because he knows he will grow up if he does . Wendy tells him she will come back once a year to do his spring cleaning . The pirates attack and subdue the Indians . They give Peter a fake all - clear signal , so Peter sadly sends Wendy , her brothers , and the Lost Boys on their way . Before she leaves , Wendy sets out Peter 's `` medicine '' for him to take before bed . After she tearfully leaves , Peter , who pretended not to care , throws himself on a bed and cries himself to sleep . As they leave the underground house , Wendy and the boys are captured by the pirates . Hook then sneaks into the lair and poisons Peter 's medicine . Tinker Bell awakens Peter , tells him of the ambush , and warns him about the poison , but he waves her off as he prepares for a rescue . Desperate , she drinks the poison herself . Dying , she tells Peter that if every boy and girl who believes in fairies would clap their hands , she would live . Peter asks the audience to believe and clap their hands . They do , and Tinker Bell is saved . Peter grabs his sword and heads off to rescue Wendy and the Boys . Act III ( edit ) The Jolly Roger Hook revels in his success ( `` Hook 's Waltz '' ) . As the plank is prepared , Hook hears the tick - tock of the crocodile and panics . It is actually Peter with a clock , and while Hook cowers Peter and the Boys help the Indians , the animals and Liza onto the ship and hide . Peter hides in a closet and kills two pirates Hook sends in . A third pirate , Starkey , refuses to obey Hook 's order to go in and jumps overboard . The pirates then carry the Boys in , and the Boys pretend to be afraid as they are carried in . Peter disguises himself as a pirate , and the pirates think the `` doodle - doo '' ( named so because Peter still crows after killing the pirates ) killed all the Boys . Hook believes the ship is now cursed , and everyone thinks Wendy is the source . The pirates push Wendy to the plank . Peter ditches his disguise and the Indians and animals attack , as well as the Boys who are alive and armed . The pirates are all defeated , and Peter challenges Hook to a duel and defeats him . Hook threatens to blow up the ship with a bomb , but runs into the real crocodile ( whom Peter also brought on the ship ) . Peter catches the dropped bomb and tosses it in the sea after Hook slides down the plank ( which is shaped like a slide ) with the crocodile chasing behind him . As Peter puts his fingers in his ears , the bomb explodes and Hook is either blown to smithereens or is eaten by the crocodile . Everyone sings Peter 's praises ( `` I 've Gotta Crow '' ( reprise ) ) . Before the Darling children and the Lost Boys go to London , Liza asks Peter to teach her to crow ( `` I Gotta Crow '' ( 2nd reprise ) ) . Back home , the Darlings sit by the nursery window night after night , hoping for the return of their children . The children silently reappear and sing to their mother ( `` Tender Shepherd '' ( reprise ) ) . The Darlings happily agree to adopt the Lost Boys ( `` We Will Grow Up '' ) . Wendy promises to wait for Peter , hoping that one day he will return for her . Years pass , and Peter returns to the nursery , surprising a much older Wendy , who no longer expected him . He has come to take her to Neverland for Spring cleaning , but she declines as she is now grown up ; married with a daughter of her own , Jane . Peter starts to cry , and Wendy leaves the room at the sound of her husband 's offstage voice . Jane awakes and , like her mother before her , asks , `` Boy , why are you crying ? '' Peter introduces himself , but Jane knows all about him from her mother 's stories . She has been waiting for him to come take her to Neverland and to learn to fly . Peter , now happy again , throws fairy dust on her , but as they are about to leave , Wendy tries to stop them , saying , `` Oh , if only I could go with you ! '' In the most poignant moment of the show , Peter answers with a sad but understanding smile , `` You ca n't . You see , Wendy ... you 're too grown up '' . And so Wendy reluctantly lets Jane go , `` just for Spring cleaning . '' Her daughter and the `` boy who would n't grow up '' fly off into the night as Wendy watches from the window .

It is the sixth installment of the Call of Duty series and the direct sequel to Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare , continuing the same storyline . It was released in conjunction with two other Call of Duty games : Call of Duty : Modern Warfare : Mobilized for the Nintendo DS , and Call of Duty : Modern Warfare : Reflex , a port of Call of Duty 4 adapted by Treyarch for the Wii console . The game 's campaign follows the Task Force 141 , a special forces unit fronted by Captain Soap MacTavish , as they hunt Vladimir Makarov , leader of the Russian Ultranationalist party , and the United States Army Rangers , who are defending the country from a Russian invasion . The game 's main playable characters are Gary `` Roach '' Sanderson , of the 141 , and James Ramirez , of the Army Rangers , with Captain MacTavish becoming playable later in the campaign . An expansive multiplayer mode is featured in the game , with several new features and modes that were not seen in its predecessor . Development for the game began in 2008 , when it was still known as Call of Duty 6 . It uses the IW 4.0 engine , an improved version of Call of Duty 4 's IW 3.0 . Infinity Ward was inspired by real - life conflicts when developing the campaign mode . They initially tested the multiplayer mode by playing an in - house beta version of the game . Modern Warfare 2 was officially announced on February 11 , 2009 . Teasing of the game began in March , with short trailers being released for the game and , eventually , a full reveal trailer . The multiplayer mode was revealed shortly after . Two downloadable content packs were released for it post-release , each containing four new maps . Modern Warfare 2 has been critically acclaimed by various gaming websites as one of the greatest first person shooters of all time . Within 24 hours of release , the game sold approximately 4.7 million copies in North America and the United Kingdom . As of early 2018 , the game has sold over 25 million copies and still has an active multiplayer base with third party servers being hosted in Melbourne , Australia . In addition to its release , a comic book series based on one of the game 's characters was also produced , entitled Modern Warfare 2 : Ghost . Despite the game 's success , it was subject to some controversies , with one surrounding a playable level that had the player carry out a terror attack on an airport . A sequel , Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3 , was released in 2011 and finishes the Modern Warfare storyline . According to a number of sources , a remastered version of Modern Warfare 2 developed by Beenox is set to be released on April 30 , 2018 , however the game will only feature the single player mode .

The player controls a soldier , and can perform several actions , including jump , sprint , crouch , lay prone , and aim down their gun 's iron sights . When the player is shot by an enemy , blood will splatter their heads - up display ( HUD ) , denoting that they have taken damage ; if the player avoids gunfire by taking cover , their health will recover . The HUD also displays other information , such as a compass , a mini-map , and the player 's current ammunition count . The game features traditional guns , including assault rifles , shotguns , handguns , and sniper rifles . The player will be given specific guns at the beginning of each level , but may switch them out with another gun they find . Some guns have attachments , such as suppressors , and heartbeat sensors . The player can also use grenades and flashbangs when faced with a large group of enemies , as well as a knife for close quarters combat . In some levels , the player will be given special equipment , such as night vision goggles , or a laser designator . Players can compete against each other in Multiplayer mode Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 has three different game modes : Campaign , Spec Ops , and Multiplayer . Campaign is a single - player mode where the player completes eighteen levels connected by an overarching plot . Each level features a series of objectives to fulfill , and the player will often switch characters between levels . If the player dies during a level , they will respawn at the most recent checkpoint . Levels can be played on one of four difficulties , and each level can be replayed after it has been completed . Spec Ops mode features twenty - three additional levels that can be played individually or cooperatively with a partner . These levels provide specific challenges , such as defusing three bombs within a short period of time . If one player is shot down while playing cooperatively , they will begin crawling , and can shoot enemies with a handgun . If they are not revived by the other player , then they will die and fail the level . There are five tiers of Spec Ops levels , with each tier harder than the previous . Only the first tier is available from the beginning , as later tiers can be unlocked with enough stars . The player earns stars by completing the levels on one of three difficulties , with the number of stars earned corresponding to the difficulty chosen . Multiplayer mode allows players to compete against each other in team - based and deathmatch - based game types on various maps . Each game type has an objective that requires unique strategies to complete . If the player kills three or more players in a row without dying , they achieve a `` killstreak '' , which gives the player a tactical advantage during a match . These include a Predator missile , a sentry gun , and a `` tactical nuke '' . Alternatively , if the player dies several times without a kill , they will be rewarded with a `` deathstreak '' bonus , which evens the match for the player . A match ends when either a team or player has reached a predefined number of points , or the allotted time expires in which case the team or player with the most points wins . The player 's performance in the Multiplayer is tracked with experience points , which can be earned by killing opposing players , completing objectives , or by completing a match . As the player gains experience , they advance in level , unlocking new weapons . The player will also unlock perks , which modify gameplay elements such as unlimited sprint and increased bullet damage . Plot ( edit ) Characters and setting ( edit ) During the single - player campaign , the player controls five different characters from a first - person perspective . The player primarily controls Sergeant Gary `` Roach '' Sanderson , a British member of an international Special Forces unit named Task Force 141 . In addition to Roach , the player will also assume control of Private First Class Joseph Allen ( Troy Baker ) and Private James Ramirez of the United States Army Rangers . The now Captain John `` Soap '' MacTavish ( Kevin McKidd ) serves as a senior member of Task Force 141 , acting as Roach 's superior officer and becomes the playable character in the final three missions of the game . Lastly , the player briefly assumes the role of an astronaut stationed on the International Space Station during the height of the war between the United States and Russia . The game 's non-playable characters ( NPCs ) feature prominently in the story : For Task Force 141 , Lieutenant Simon `` Ghost '' Riley ( Craig Fairbrass ) , who conceals his face with a skull print balaclava serves as Soap 's second in command . For the United States Army Rangers , Sergeant Foley ( Keith David ) , along with his subordinate , Corporal Dunn ( Barry Pepper ) , is initially Joseph Allen 's squad leader , and becomes James Ramirez 's squad leader later in the story . Lieutenant General Shepherd ( Lance Henriksen ) is the commander of the United States Army Rangers and Task Force 141 . Other supporting characters returning from Call of Duty 4 include Captain John Price ( Billy Murray ) , MacTavish 's former commanding officer in the British Special Air Service who was imprisoned in Russia , and Russian informant `` Nikolai '' ( Sven Holmberg ) . The primary and hidden antagonist is General Shepherd ( Lance Henriksen ) , who is seemingly an ally for the first half , before he later turns on his own forces . The secondary antagonist is Vladamir Makarov , ( Roman Varshavsky ) , a Russian terrorist who assumed command of the Russian ultranationalist party shortly after Imran Zhakaev 's death . Story ( edit ) In 2016 , Private First Class Joseph Allen participates in a military operation alongside United States Army Rangers stationed in Afghanistan , by assisting them in taking back a city from insurgents . Impressed by Allen 's capabilities , General Shepherd recruits him into Task Force 141 . While Allen prepares for an upcoming assignment , Captain John `` Soap '' MacTavish and Sergeant Gary `` Roach '' Sanderson infiltrate a Russian airbase in the Tian Shan mountains to retrieve an Attack Characterization System ( ACS ) module from a downed American satellite . Allen is soon sent on an undercover mission for the CIA , joining Vladimir Makarov in a mass shooting at an airport in Moscow , Russia . Afterwards , Makarov kills Allen , aware of his true identity , and leaves his body behind to spark a war between Russia and the United States . Outraged by an apparent American - sponsored terrorist attack , Russia retaliates by launching a surprise invasion on the East Coast of the United States . With no evidence of Makarov 's involvement in the airport massacre , Task Force 141 is sent to Rio de Janeiro to capture his arms dealer . They succeed and learn that Makarov 's nemesis is being held in a Russian gulag . They assault the gulag and rescue the prisoner : Captain Price , Soap 's previous commanding officer in the SAS . Price agrees to help Task Force 141 but insists on ending the United States ' war with Russia . After raiding a Russian port , Price launches a ballistic missile towards Washington , D.C. and detonates it in the upper atmosphere . The resulting EMP blast disables all electronic devices across the eastern seaboard , giving the Americans a much - needed advantage . Soldiers fighting in D.C. narrowly avoid a bombing run of Russian - occupied strategic structures by the United States Air Force , lighting green flares atop the White House to show that the city remains in American hands . Meanwhile , Task Force 141 narrows Makarov 's hiding place to two locations ; an aircraft boneyard in Afghanistan , and Makarov 's safehouse on the Georgian - Russian border . Roach and Simon `` Ghost '' Riley successfully raid the safehouse , but are then betrayed and murdered by Shepherd . It soon becomes evident that Shepherd is the catalyst of the Russian - U.S. war , intent on cementing his status as a national hero . Price and Soap learn of Shepherd 's betrayal and escape a battle between his and Makarov 's forces at the boneyard . After learning of Shepherd 's mountain base in Afghanistan from Makarov , Price and Soap raid the base to take revenge on Shepherd in a suicide mission . The duo pursue Shepherd 's boat , and Price manages to shoot down his helicopter extraction as he and Soap tumble over a waterfall . A dazed Soap stumbles towards the crash site and attempts to kill Shepherd , but is stabbed in the chest . While Price arrives and engages Shepherd in a fist fight , Soap pulls the knife out of his chest and throws it at Shepherd , killing him . Nikolai arrives and helps Price evacuate Soap for medical attention . Development ( edit ) Modern Warfare 2 was originally announced as Call of Duty 6 . The game was first announced under the title Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 by Activision on December 3 , 2008 . Activision subsequently retracted its announcement , stating that any information about an upcoming Call of Duty game was `` speculative . '' Infinity Ward then asserted that it had not officially confirmed its latest project at that time . On February 11 , 2009 , Activision officially announced Modern Warfare 2 and set a tentative release date for `` Holiday 2009 . '' The game was tested in an internal beta by the development team . While both Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty : World at War had been preceded by public multiplayer betas , no such beta was released for Modern Warfare 2 because it was determined that , according to Community Manager Robert Bowling , no public beta was needed unless the internal beta did not provide adequate feedback . Infinity Ward announced on October 2009 that the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 would not support the use of user - run dedicated servers or in - game console commands . This announcement was received poorly by some members of the PC community , eventually instigating a response from Infinity Ward in an attempt to put the community at ease . During brainstorming sessions , an idea came forth on what if the ending of Modern Warfare was a loss , leading to the sequel . In an interview with Jesse Stern , he talked to producers of Infinity Ward with ideas such as `` outbreaks , viruses , chemical warfare , and even outlandish things such as aliens and the living dead . '' Stern mentioned having the game based on real - life conflicts before they halted further planning at first due to events in the 2008 South Ossetia war and in the Mumbai terrorist attacks . Game engine ( edit ) The game utilizes the in - house IW 4.0 game engine , which is claimed to be a generation beyond the capabilities of the engine used in Call of Duty 4 . Although proprietary , the game is based on an unspecified id Tech engine , and can accommodate larger worlds , enhanced graphic detail , and more efficient rendering . Infinity Ward has addressed the issue of enemies that continually respawn at different points of a level . The developer demonstrated that the game engine uses a `` dynamic AI '' , which has replaced the infinite respawn system and allows enemies to act more independently . These `` smarter '' enemies are designed to actively seek out and drive the player forward through a level , and can break away from set behaviors such as following a designated route in order to attack . The player can not depend on enemies to be found in the same locations as a previous play - through because enemies will behave differently each time a level is played . Audio ( edit ) On August 20 , 2009 , Robert Bowling revealed through Twitter that Kevin McKidd , Craig Fairbrass , Barry Pepper , Keith David , and Glenn Morshower were confirmed voice actors for the game . It was later confirmed that McKidd would voice the protagonist , `` Soap '' MacTavish . Fairbrass , who voiced Gaz in Call of Duty 4 , provided voice work for `` Ghost '' . Billy Murray reprised his role as Captain Price from Call of Duty 4 . Rapper 50 Cent provided voice work for the Special Ops and multiplayer modes , portraying `` one of the squad ( member ) voices . '' The main theme of Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 was provided by Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer , while the rest of the score was composed by Lorne Balfe . The soundtrack was released on June 1 , 2010 . The iTunes page for the soundtrack incorrectly lists Zimmer as the soundtrack 's only composer .

The teaser was posted on Infinity Ward 's website , and released on the Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Network a short time later . A second teaser was released on May 10 , 2009 and showed gameplay features such as snowmobile driving and underwater actions . The teaser announced that the game would be `` revealed '' on TNT during the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on May 24 , 2009 . The `` reveal '' was the first full - length trailer , which debuted extended sequences of actual in - game scenes and combat ; the trailer was subsequently made available on the Modern Warfare 2 official website , which was kept updated for the occasion . A fourth trailer was released on July 27 , 2009 , and showed the first footage of the game 's multiplayer mode . On October 4 , 2009 , a second full - length cinematic trailer was released and revealed that part of the game would take place in a war - torn Washington , D.C. On July 21 , 2009 , Infinity Ward 's Robert Bowling revealed through Twitter that a Modern Warfare 2 controller was in the works . Peripherals manufacturer Mad Catz was contracted by Activision to create a line of Modern Warfare 2 controllers and accessories for all platforms that the game would be available on . Activision stated , in its quarterly earnings report , that pre-orders for the game had broken a company record ; more copies of Modern Warfare 2 had been pre-ordered than any other game that the company had published before . In September 2009 , Monster Energy teamed up with Activision to bring special redeemable codes on the Monster Energy website , where people may submit codes included in Monster Energy packs to redeem items such as Xbox 360 Premium Themes and a Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack code . Title ( edit ) The original teaser trailer confirmed that the game 's title of Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 was officially shortened to just Modern Warfare 2 . After photographs of the official retail boxes were posted by Robert Bowling , Activision confirmed that the standard - edition Modern Warfare 2 packaging would feature the Call of Duty brand logo in order to reflect the game 's association with the Call of Duty franchise . It is speculated that the decision was influenced by findings that brand awareness for the game was significantly lower without the Call of Duty logo . However , the developers still prefer to simply call the game Modern Warfare 2 as they consider it a new IP . The menus in the game also refer to the title as simply Modern Warfare 2 . Retail versions ( edit ) Modern Warfare 2 was released in four different retail versions across the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms : Standard , Hardened , Veteran , and Prestige . The standard version consists of the game and an instructional manual , and is the only version available for the Microsoft Windows platform . The Hardened Edition consists of the game and manual ( which are packaged in a steel book case ) , an art book , and a token that allows one to download Call of Duty Classic , a hi - definition version of the original Call of Duty game , from Xbox Live Arcade or the PlayStation Store ( Classic was released individually on December 2 , 2009 ) . The Prestige Edition contains all of the elements of the Hardened Edition , but also includes a set of fully functioning night vision goggles , imprinted with the Modern Warfare 2 logo , and a stand modeled after the head of the character `` Soap '' MacTavish . The goggles are powered by five AA batteries and can see up to 50 feet in absolute darkness . On September 15 , 2009 , Activision and Microsoft jointly announced a special , limited Modern Warfare 2 version of the Xbox 360 with a 250GB hard disk . The unit is highlighted by special game product branding and includes two wireless controllers and a headset . This is the first Xbox 360 to come with a 250GB hard drive . On September 18 , UK and rep of Ireland retailer GAME announced a Veteran Edition of Modern Warfare 2 would be exclusive to rep of Ireland and UK . It will come with a 12 '' ( 30.5 cm ) tall statue of `` Soap '' MacTavish with interchangeable arms and weapons ; has the same contents as the Hardened Edition . In September 2009 , a Veteran Statue Bundle of Modern Warfare 2 was posted on the EB Games website and is available for all platforms . Modern Warfare 2 was ported to OS X by Aspyr years after the game 's original release . This version was released on May 20 , 2014 , alongside the OS X port for Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3 . Downloadable content ( edit ) Activision announced that two downloadable map packs would be released for Modern Warfare 2 . At E3 2009 , Microsoft stated that these map packs would first be made available for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live before they would be released for other platforms . Robert Bowling stated that the community response to the game and the first ten downloadable map packs would be used in designing other potential map packs . The first map pack , titled the `` Stimulus Package , '' was released first for Xbox Live on March 30 , 2010 and for PlayStation Network and PC on May 4 , 2010 in North America . The pack contains five maps : reincarnations of the Crash and Overgrown maps from Call of Duty 4 , and three new maps : Bailout , a multi-level apartment complex ; Storm , an industrial park littered with heavy machinery ; and Salvage , an abandoned car junkyard in the middle of the snow . Within 24 hours of its release , it was downloaded over one million times . Within the first week it had been downloaded 2.5 million times , breaking Xbox Live DLC records . In addition to integrating the maps into all existing game types , the Stimulus Package adds two new game modes , randomizing the built - in game types in either normal or hardcore mode . Activision released the second downloadable map pack , titled the `` Resurgence Package '' , exclusively for Xbox Live on June 3 , 2010 in North America . This release was followed by the PlayStation Network and PC versions on July 6 in North America and on July 7 worldwide . The package includes five new multiplayer maps : reincarnations of the Strike and Vacant maps from Call of Duty 4 , and three new maps : Carnival , a desolated amusement park ; Trailer Park , a mobile home park ; and Fuel , an oil refinery . Both of the map packs were made available for purchase on OS X on May 20 , 2014 , when the OS X port of the game was released . Comic ( edit ) Main article : Modern Warfare 2 : Ghost A six - part comic book mini-series related to the game has also been produced . Announced by Robert Bowling on August 17 , 2009 , Modern Warfare 2 : Ghost is focused on the backstory of the character Ghost , who appears in the video game as a member of Task Force 141 . The series is published by WildStorm . The first issue of the series debuted on November 11 , 2009 .

Activision contacted We Can Pretend about the video and helped produce a second canon short film , Find Makarov : Operation Kingfish . The prequel tells the story of how Task Force 141 first tried to capture Vladimir Makarov , who was known then as Kingfish . It also tells how Soap got his facial scars , and how Price was captured and incarcerated in a gulag .

Reviewers praised the in - depth story mode , mini missions , and multiplayer . 1UP.com stated `` Mixing real - world locations with bombastic set - pieces MW2 continues the guided , thrill - ride experiences of its predecessor , and adds even more depth to its multiplayer offerings . It might not have fixed all the problems from the first game , but there 's just so much quality content packed into this game that it will almost certainly be one of the most - played games in your library for a long time to come '' . Game Informer noted `` Modern Warfare 2 is a masterpiece of careful iteration , with an unmatched presentation and a well of content that will take months to run dry '' . IGN commented `` For those planning to check out everything Modern Warfare 2 has to offer -- online competition , full co-op Spec Ops mode , as well as the campaign -- you 're looking at a no - brainer purchase '' . GameTrailers stated `` The air of unpredictability and the care that was paid to each separate element puts it in lofty company . The multiplayer has n't received an overhaul , but considering most shooters are still playing catch - up with Call of Duty 4 , the tweaks and twists make it the best multiplayer shooting experience in the industry . Few games manage to meet such high expectations '' . Computer and Video Games called the game `` Loud , epic and incredibly polished , ( and ) this year 's biggest must - have shooter '' . Criticisms of the game are directed towards a variety of aspects , but focus on the short length of the single player campaign . IGN 's Mark Bozon remarks that the single - player of `` Modern Warfare 2 is surprisingly short , and does n't live up to the standard set by previous Call of Duty games . '' In addition , many reviewers have complained about the lack of innovation to the formula of the series . Famitsu named Modern Warfare 2 as the number one game on the top 10 video games sold in 2009 , beating games such as Metal Gear Solid 4 , Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves , Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV . It also gave the game a score of 39 / 40 , being one of the few Western games released in Japan to have the same score as Grand Theft Auto IV . Sales and revenue ( edit ) According to preliminary sales figures from Activision , Modern Warfare 2 sold approximately 4.7 million units in the United States and the UK combined in the first 24 hours of its release .

Controversy ( edit ) Main article : Controversies surrounding Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 In `` No Russian '' , the player can shoot at a group of civilians at an airport . Various portions of the campaign have caused some controversy , including the depiction of a massacre carried out in a Russian airport , on the mission `` No Russian '' , the fourth mission in the game . Anders Behring Breivik claims in his manifesto that he used this video game to perpetrate the 2011 Norway attacks . Coop Norway , a chain of retail stores in Norway , removed the game from its shelves as a result of this attack . A YouTube user pointed out that two paintings in the multiplayer map Favela offended Muslims . Activision removed the controversial paintings and apologized for its offense to Muslims . The amended Favela map was added back into the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game , however was permanently taken out of the PC version . Technical problems ( edit ) After the successful hack on the PlayStation 3 in January 2011 , some Modern Warfare 2 players on the PlayStation 3 have had their stats hacked or completely deleted .

The single 's first pressing was labelled simply `` Tomorrow '' , then lengthened later . When first presented with the song , lead singer Shirley Owens ( later known as Shirley Alston - Reeves ) did not want to record it , because she thought it was `` too country . '' She relented after a string arrangement was added . However , Owens recalled on Jim Parsons ' syndicated oldies radio program , Shake Rattle Showtime , that some radio stations had banned the record because they had felt the lyrics were too sexually charged . The song is in AABA form . Reception ( edit ) In 1961 , the Shirelles took their single `` Will You Love Me Tomorrow '' to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . Their version of the song , with session musicians Paul Griffin on piano and Gary Chester on drums , is currently ranked as the 162nd greatest song of all time , as well as the best song of 1960 , by Acclaimed Music . The Shirelles version was ranked among Rolling Stone ' s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time at number 126 . Billboard named the song # 3 on their list of 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time . The song later appeared on the soundtrack of Michael Apted 's Stardust . Answer songs ( edit ) Bertell Dache , a black demo singer for the Brill Building songwriters , recorded an answer song entitled `` Not just Tomorrow , But Always '' . It has been erroneously claimed by some historians that Dache was a pseudonym for Epic recording artist Tony Orlando , whose recording of the original song had not been released as Don Kirshner thought the lyric was convincing only as sung by a woman . However , an ad for United Artists Records which appeared in Billboard during 1961 featured a photo of the singer which conclusively proved that Dache was not Tony Orlando . The Satintones , an early Motown group , also recorded an answer song called `` Tomorrow and Always , '' which used the same melody as the original but initially neglected to credit King and Goffin . Following a threat of litigation , later pressings of the record included proper credit . The Satintones ' versions are included in the box set The Complete Motown Singles , Volume 1 : 1959 -- 1961 . Carole King version ( edit ) Background ( edit ) In 1971 Carole King , the co-writer of the song , recorded a version of `` Will You Love Me Tomorrow '' for her landmark studio album Tapestry , with Joni Mitchell and James Taylor on background vocals . King 's version of the song was taken at a considerably slower tempo and with a more contemplative , melancholy feel than in the Shirelles original recording . It gained considerable album - oriented rock airplay due to the large scale commercial success of the album . The song became a feature of King 's live shows . Taylor recreated his part during their joint arena - based Troubadour Reunion Tour of 2010 . In the 2013 Broadway Beautiful : The Carole King Musical , the song is featured in part four times : once during its writing , once during King recording a demo of it , then with the Shirelles performing it , and then King singing and playing it later during an especially bad time in her marriage with Goffin . No other song is featured as frequently in the musical . Personnel ( edit ) Carole King -- piano , vocals Additional musicians Danny `` Kootch '' Kortchmar -- acoustic guitar Russ Kunkel -- drums Charles `` Charlie '' Larkey -- bass guitar Joni Mitchell -- background vocals James Taylor -- acoustic guitar , backing vocals Other versions ( edit ) Dusty Springfield recorded the song for her 1964 debut solo album A Girl Called Dusty . She also recorded a version with French lyrics entitled Demain tu peux changer for her 1965 EP Mademoiselle Dusty , which included four songs she had previously recorded in English . Brenda Lee released her version in 1961 as a single . Helen Shapiro recorded a version for her 1962 album ' Tops ' with Me . Little Eva released a version on her 1962 album Llllloco - Motion . Cher recorded a version for her 1966 album Chér . Jackie DeShannon recorded a version for her 1966 album Are You Ready for This ? . Sandy Posey recorded the song for her 1968 album Looking at You . The Four Seasons had a number 24 hit with the song on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968 . Linda Ronstadt released a version on her 1970 album , Silk Purse .

My Country, 'Tis of Thee
My country , ' Tis of thee - wikipedia My country , ' Tis of thee Jump to : navigation , search Sheet music version `` My Country , ' Tis of Thee '' , also known as `` America '' , is an American patriotic song , whose lyrics were written by Samuel Francis Smith . The melody used is the same as that of the national anthem of the United Kingdom , `` God Save the Queen '' , arranged by Thomas Arne . The song served as one of the de facto national anthems of the United States ( along with songs like `` Hail , Columbia '' ) before the adoption of `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' as the official U.S. national anthem in 1931 . `` My Country , ' Tis of Thee '' Piano and violin arrangement of `` My Country , ' Tis of Thee '' Problems playing this file ? See media help . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Lyrics 3 Notable performances 4 See also 5 References 6 Bibliography 7 External links History ( edit ) Samuel Francis Smith wrote the lyrics to `` My Country ' Tis of Thee '' in 1831 , while he was a student at the Andover Theological Seminary in Andover , Massachusetts . His friend Lowell Mason had asked him to translate the lyrics in some German school songbooks or to write new lyrics . A melody in Muzio Clementi 's Symphony No. 3 ( also called ' The Great National ' and contains the melody of ' God Save the Queen ' as a tribute to Clementi 's adopted country ) caught his attention . Rather than translating the lyrics from German , Smith wrote his own American patriotic hymn to the melody , completing the lyrics in thirty minutes . Smith gave Mason the lyrics he had written and the song was first performed in public on July 4 , 1831 , at a children 's Independence Day celebration at Park Street Church in Boston . First publication of `` America '' was in 1832 . Lyrics ( edit ) My country , ' tis of thee , Sweet land of liberty , Of thee I sing ; Land where my fathers died , Land of the pilgrims ' pride , From ev'ry mountainside Let freedom ring ! My native country , thee , Land of the noble free , Thy name I love ; I love thy rocks and rills , Thy woods and templed hills ; My heart with rapture thrills , Like that above . Let music swell the breeze , And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom 's song ; Let mortal tongues awake ; Let all that breathe partake ; Let rocks their silence break , The sound prolong . Our fathers ' God to Thee , Author of liberty , To Thee we sing . Long may our land be bright , With freedom 's holy light , Protect us by Thy might , Great God our King . Additional verse to celebrate Washington 's Centennial : 5 Our joyful hearts today , Their grateful tribute pay , Happy and free , After our toils and fears , After our blood and tears , Strong with our hundred years , O God , to Thee . Additional verses by Henry van Dyke : 6 We love thine inland seas , Thy groves and giant trees , Thy rolling plains ; Thy rivers ' mighty sweep , Thy mystic canyons deep , Thy mountains wild and steep , -- All thy domains . 7 Thy silver Eastern strands , Thy Golden Gate that stands Fronting the West ; Thy flowery Southland fair , Thy North 's sweet , crystal air : O Land beyond compare , We love thee best ! Additional Abolitionist verses by A.G. Duncan , 1843 : 8 My country , ' tis of thee , Stronghold of slavery , of thee I sing ; Land where my fathers died , Where men man 's rights deride , From every mountainside thy deeds shall ring ! 9 My native country , thee , Where all men are born free , if white 's their skin ; I love thy hills and dales , Thy mounts and pleasant vales ; But hate thy negro sales , as foulest sin . 10 Let wailing swell the breeze , And ring from all the trees the black man 's wrong ; Let every tongue awake ; Let bond and free partake ; Let rocks their silence break , the sound prolong . 11 Our father 's God ! to thee , Author of Liberty , to thee we sing ; Soon may our land be bright , With holy freedom 's right , Protect us by thy might , Great God , our King . 12 It comes , the joyful day , When tyranny 's proud sway , stern as the grave , Shall to the ground be hurl 'd , And freedom 's flag , unfurl 'd , Shall wave throughout the world , O'er every slave . 13 Trump of glad jubilee ! Echo o'er land and sea freedom for all . Let the glad tidings fly , And every tribe reply , `` Glory to God on high , '' at Slavery 's fall . Notable performances ( edit ) Aretha Franklin at the first inauguration of Barack Obama Marian Anderson performed the song at the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday , April 9 , 1939 . Martin Luther King , Jr. recited the first verse of the song toward the end of his famous `` I Have a Dream '' speech at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28 , 1963 .

Martin 's fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire and its television adaptation Game of Thrones , where it is spoken by the Dothraki , nomadic inhabitants of the Dothraki Sea . The language was developed for the TV series by the linguist David J. Peterson based on the Dothraki words and phrases in Martin 's novels . As of September 2011 , the language comprised 3163 words , not all of which have been made public . In 2012 , 146 newborn girls in the United States were named `` Khaleesi '' , the Dothraki term for the wife of a khal or ruler , and the title adopted in the series by Daenerys Targaryen . Dothraki , alongside Valyrian , has been described as `` the most convincing fictional tongues since Elvish '' .

Peterson , creator of the Dothraki spoken language for Game of Thrones The Dothraki vocabulary was created by David J. Peterson well in advance of the adaptation . HBO hired the Language Creation Society to create the language , and after an application process involving over thirty conlangers , David Peterson was chosen to develop the Dothraki language . He delivered over 1700 words to HBO before the initial shooting . Peterson drew inspiration from George R.R. Martin 's description of the language , as well as from such languages as Turkish , Russian , Estonian , Inuktitut and Swahili . David J. Peterson and his development of the Dothraki language were featured on an April 8 , 2012 episode of CNN 's The Next List . He went on to create the Valyrian languages for season 3 of Game of Thrones . Peterson and his development of Dothraki were also featured on the January 8 , 2017 episode of To Tell the Truth . Language constraints ( edit ) The Dothraki language was developed under two significant constraints . First , the language had to match the uses already put down in the books . Secondly , it had to be easily pronounceable or learnable by the actors . These two constraints influenced the grammar and phonology of the language : for instance , as in English , there is no contrast between aspirated and unaspirated stops . Phonology and Romanization ( edit ) See also : Help : IPA for Dothraki David Peterson has said , `` You know , most people probably do n't really know what Arabic actually sounds like , so to an untrained ear , it might sound like Arabic . To someone who knows Arabic , it does n't . I tend to think of the sound as a mix between Arabic ( minus the distinctive pharyngeals ) and Spanish , due to the dental consonants . '' Regarding the orthography , the Dothraki themselves do not have a writing system -- nor do many of the surrounding peoples ( e.g. the Lhazareen ) . If there were to be any written examples of Dothraki in the A Song of Ice and Fire universe , it would be in a writing system developed in the Free Cities and adapted to Dothraki , or in some place like Ghis or Qarth , which do have writing systems . Consonants ( edit ) There are twenty - three consonant phonemes in the Dothraki language . Here the romanized form is given on the left , and the IPA in brackets . Labial Dental Alveolar Postalveolar Velar Uvular Glottal Plosive voiceless t ( t̪ ) k ( k ) q ( q ) voiced d ( d̪ ) g ( ɡ ) Affricate voiceless ch ( tʃ ) voiced j ( dʒ ) Fricative voiceless f ( f ) th ( θ ) s ( s ) sh ( ʃ ) kh ( x ) h ( h ) voiced v ( v ) z ( z ) zh ( ʒ ) Nasal m ( m ) n ( n̪ ) Trill r ( r ) Tap r ( ɾ ) Approximant central w ( w ) y ( j ) lateral l ( l̪ ) The letters c and x never appear in Dothraki , although c appears in the digraph ch . b and p seem to appear only in names , as in Bharbo and Pono . These consonants were used in the past but have since developed into ( f ) and ( v ) . They can still be used as variants of ( f ) and ( v ) . Voiceless stops may be aspirated . This does not change word meaning . The geminates of consonants marked with digraphs have a reduced orthography : kkh is pronounced / xx / ( not / kx / ) tth is pronounced / θθ / ( not / tθ / ) ssh is pronounced / ʃʃ / ( not / sʃ / ) zzh is pronounced / ʒʒ / ( not / zʒ / ) cch is pronounced / tt͡ʃ / Vowels ( edit ) Dothraki has a four vowel system shown below : Vowels i / i / e / e / o / o / a / a / There are no diphthongs . In the A Song of Ice and Fire books , u never occurs as a vowel , appearing only after q , and only in names , as in Jhiqui and Quaro . In sequence of multiple vowels , each such vowel represents a separate syllable . Examples : shierak ( ʃi. e. ˈɾak ) - star , rhaesh ( ɾha. ˈeʃ ) - country , khaleesi ( ˈxa. l̪e.e.si ) - queen . The vowels / i , e , o , a / turn into ( e , ɛ , ɔ , ɑ ) after / q /. / o / turns into ( ɤ ) after dental consonants . / o / can be pronounced as ( u ) after ( g ) , ( k ) and ( x ) . Grammar ( edit ) Parts of speech ( edit ) Though prepositions are also sometimes employed , the language is foremost inflectional . Prefixes , suffixes and circumfixes are all used . Verbs conjugate in infinitive , past , present , future , two imperatives and ( archaic ) participle ; they also agree with person , number and polarity . Nouns divide into two classes , inanimate and animate . They decline in five cases , nominative , accusative , genitive , allative and ablative . Animate nouns also decline according to number . Word order ( edit ) Basic word order is SVO ( subject -- verb -- object ) . In a basic sentence , the order of these elements ( when all three are present ) is as in English : First comes the subject ( S ) , then comes the verb ( V ) , then comes the object ( O ) . Khal ahhas arakh . The Khal ( S ) sharpened ( V ) the arakh ( O ) . When only a subject is present , the subject precedes the verb , as it does in English : Arakh hasa . The arakh ( S ) is sharp ( V ) . In noun phrases there is a specific order as well . The order is as follows : demonstrative , noun , adverb , adjective , genitive noun , prepositional phrase . Prepositions always precede their noun complements . but adjectives , possessor and prepositional phrases all follow the noun : jin ave sekke verven anni m'orvikoon this father very violent of. mine with. a. whip this very violent father of mine with a whip Adverbs normally are sentence final , but they can also immediately follow the verb . Modal particles precede the verb . In the episode `` Andy 's Ancestry '' from the United States television show The Office , Dwight Schrute created the Dothraki phrase `` throat rip '' by placing `` throat '' in front to make it the accusative . David J. Peterson adapted that language technique and called it the `` Schrutean compound '' . Sample ( edit ) Nevakhi vekha ha maan : Rekke , m'aresakea norethi fitte . ( ˈn̪evaxi ˈvexa ha maˈan̪ ˈrekːe ˈmaɾesakea ˈn̪oɾeθi ˈfit̪ːe ) seat. GEN exist. 3SG. PRES for 3SG. ALL there. ACC with.coward.ALL.PL hair. GEN short There is a place for him : There , with the short - haired cowards . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Examples of demonstratives include : rakh haj strong boy ( rakh boy , haj strong ) alegra ivezh wild duck ( alegra duck , ivezh wild ) jin arakh this arakh ( jin this , arakh arakh ( type of blade ) ) rek hrakkares that lion ( rek that , hrakkares lion ) References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Do you speak Dothraki ?

Miracle on Ice
Miracle on ice - wikipedia Miracle on ice Jump to : navigation , search Miracle on Ice Total Soviet Union 0 United States 0 Date February 22 , 1980 Arena Olympic Center City Lake Placid , New York , U.S. Attendance 8,500 The Herb Brooks Arena in the Olympic Center at Lake Placid , New York hosted the match The `` Miracle on Ice '' refers to a medal - round game during the men 's ice hockey tournament at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid , New York , played between the hosting United States , and the defending gold medalists , the Soviet Union . The Soviet Union had won the gold medal in five of the six previous Winter Olympic Games , and were the favorites to win once more in Lake Placid . The team consisted primarily of professional players with significant experience in international play . By contrast , the United States ' team -- led by head coach Herb Brooks -- consisted exclusively of amateur players , and was the youngest team in the tournament and in U.S. national team history . In the group stage , both the Soviet and U.S. teams were undefeated ; the U.S. achieved several notable results , including a 2 -- 2 draw against Sweden , and a 7 -- 3 upset victory over second - place favorites Czechoslovakia . For the first game in the medal round , the United States played the Soviets . Finishing the first period tied at 2 -- 2 , and the Soviets leading 3 -- 2 following the second , the U.S. team scored two more goals to take their first lead during the third and final period , winning the game 4 -- 3 in a major upset against the Cold War rival . Following the game , the U.S. went on to clinch the gold medal by beating Finland in their final match of the tournament . Likewise , the Soviet Union took the silver medal by beating Sweden . The victory became one of the most iconic moments of the Games and in U.S. sports . Equally well - known was the television call of the final seconds of the game by Al Michaels for ABC , in which he famously declared in the final seconds , `` Do you believe in miracles ? ! YES ! '' In 1999 , Sports Illustrated named the `` Miracle on Ice '' the top sports moment of the 20th century . As part of its centennial celebration in 2008 , the International Ice Hockey Federation ( IIHF ) named the `` Miracle on Ice '' as the best international ice hockey story of the past 100 years .

The Americans scored two goals against him before he was pulled from the game at the end of the first period . The Soviet Union entered the Lake Placid games as the heavy favorite , having won the previous four ice hockey gold medals dating back to the 1964 games . In the four Olympics following their 1960 bronze medal finish with two losses and one tie at Squaw Valley , Soviet teams had gone 27 -- 1 -- 1 ( wins - losses - ties ) and outscored their opponents 175 -- 44 . In head - to - head match - ups against the United States , the cumulative score over that period was 28 -- 7 . Until 1977 , professional players were not able to participate in the World Championship , and it was not until 1988 that they could play in the Winter Olympics . The Soviet team was populated with amateur players who were actually full - time athletes hired as regular workers of a company ( aircraft industry , food workers , tractor industry ) or organization ( KGB , Red Army , Soviet Air Force ) that sponsored what would be presented as an after - hours social sports society hockey team for their workers . Soviet Championship League was on par with the National Hockey League at the time . Soviets were led by legendary players in world ice hockey , such as Boris Mikhailov ( a top line right winger and team captain ) , Vladislav Tretiak ( the consensus best goaltender in the world at the time ) , the speedy and skilled Valeri Kharlamov , as well as talented , young , and dynamic players such as defenseman Viacheslav Fetisov and forwards Vladimir Krutov and Sergei Makarov . From that team , Tretiak , Kharlamov , Makarov , and Fetisov would eventually be enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame . Many of the Soviet players had gained attention in the Summit Series eight years before and , in contrast to the American players , were de facto seasoned professionals with long histories of international play . U.S. head coach Herb Brooks had tryouts in Colorado Springs in the summer of 1979 . Of the 20 players who eventually made the final Olympic roster , Buzz Schneider was the only one returning from the 1976 Olympic team . Nine players had played under Brooks at the University of Minnesota , which included Rob McClanahan , Mike Ramsey , and Phil Verchota ; while four more were from Boston University : Dave Silk , Jack O'Callahan , goalie Jim Craig , and team captain Mike Eruzione . Boston University and Minnesota were perennial rivals in college hockey and the hostility carried over from some of the players on the Olympic team for the first few months . But part of Brooks ' selection process was a 300 - question psychological test that would give him insight on how every player would react under stress . Anyone who refused to take the test would be flunked . Brooks had to select from 68 players who started the tryout . The average age of the U.S. team was 21 years old , making it the youngest team in U.S. team history to play in the Olympics . It would be the youngest team in the Olympic tournament . But Brooks had selected carefully and knew the limits of every player . As forward John Harrington said , `` He knew exactly where to quit . He 'd push you right to the limit where you were ready to say , ' I 've had it , I 'm throwing it in ' -- and then he 'd back off . '' Brooks continued the organization by campaigning for the players ' selection of Eruzione as the captain , and Craig had been the goalie for him in the 1979 World Championship tournament . Assistant coach Craig Patrick had played with Brooks on the 1967 U.S. national team . The Soviet and American teams were natural rivals due to the decades - old Cold War . In addition , President Jimmy Carter was at the time considering a U.S. boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics , to be held in Moscow , in protest of the December 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan . On February 9 , the same day the American and Soviet teams met in an exhibition game in New York City , U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance denounced the impending Moscow games at a meeting of the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) . President Carter eventually decided in favor of the boycott . Exhibitions ( edit ) Mark Johnson 's goal in the last second of the first period tied the game In exhibitions that year , Soviet club teams went 5 -- 3 -- 1 against National Hockey League ( NHL ) teams , and a year earlier , the Soviet national team had routed the NHL All - Stars 6 -- 0 to win the Challenge Cup . In 1979 -- 80 , virtually all the top North American players were Canadians , although the number of U.S. - born professional players had been on the rise throughout the 1970s . The 1980 U.S. Olympic team featured several young players who were regarded as highly promising , and some had signed contracts to play in the NHL immediately after the tournament . In September 1979 , before the Olympics , the American team started exhibition play . They played a total of 61 games in five months against teams from Europe and America . Through these games , Herb Brooks instilled a European style of play in the American team , emphasizing wide open play with sufficient body contact . He believed it would be the only way for the Americans to compete with the Soviets . From the start of the exhibitions , he conducted the team through skating windsprints consisting of end line to blue line and back , then end line to red line and back , then end line to far blue line and back , and finally end line all the way down and back . Some of the players took to calling these Herbies . On September 17 , 1979 , the team played to a 3 - 3 tie in Norway . Brooks had them skate Herbies after the game , and after a while , the lights were turned off by custodians and the practice continued in the dark . Near the end of the exhibition season , although he had supported them throughout , Brooks threatened because of subpar play to cut Eruzione ( the captain ) and replace Craig as the starting goalie with Steve Janaszak . In the last exhibition game against the Soviets at Madison Square Garden on February 9 , 1980 , the Soviets crushed the Americans 10 -- 3 . Soviet head coach Viktor Tikhonov later said that this victory `` turned out to be a very big problem '' by causing the Soviets to underestimate the American team . The game was also costly for the Americans off - ice , as defenseman Jack O'Callahan pulled a ligament in his knee ; however , Brooks kept O'Callahan on the roster which meant virtually playing with only 19 players throughout the tournament . O'Callahan would eventually return for the game against the Soviets playing limited minutes . Olympic group play ( edit ) In Olympic group play , the Americans surprised many observers with their physical , cohesive play . In their first game against favored Sweden , Team USA earned a dramatic 2 -- 2 draw by scoring with 27 seconds left after pulling goalie Jim Craig for an extra attacker . Had Team USA not scored this goal and all other results remained the same , the Soviet Union would have emerged with the gold medal on goal differential over the U.S. in the medal round . Then came a stunning 7 -- 3 victory over Czechoslovakia , who were a favorite for the silver medal . With its two toughest games in the group phase out of the way , the U.S. team reeled off three more wins , beating Norway 5 -- 1 , Romania 7 -- 2 , and West Germany 4 -- 2 to go 4 -- 0 -- 1 and advance to the medal round from its group , along with Sweden . In the other group , the Soviets stormed through their opposition undefeated , often by grossly lopsided scores . They defeated Japan 16 -- 0 , the Netherlands 17 -- 4 , Poland 8 -- 1 , Finland 4 -- 2 , and Canada 6 -- 4 to easily qualify for the next round , although both the Finns and the Canadians gave the Soviets tough games for two periods . In the end , the Soviet Union and Finland advanced from their group . Preparing for the medal round ( edit ) The U.S. and Soviet teams prepared for the medal round in different ways . Soviet coach Viktor Tikhonov rested most of his best players , preferring to let them study plays rather than actually skate . U.S. coach Herb Brooks , however , continued with his tough , confrontational style , skating hard practices and berating his players for perceived weaknesses and to build stamina . Brooks ' goal was to have his team be able to keep up with the Soviets through all three periods . The day before the match , columnist Dave Anderson wrote in The New York Times , `` Unless the ice melts , or unless the United States team or another team performs a miracle , as did the American squad in 1960 , the Russians are expected to easily win the Olympic gold medal for the sixth time in the last seven tournaments . '' Game summary ( edit ) Prior to the game , ABC requested that it be rescheduled from 5 : 00 p.m. to 8 : 00 p.m. Eastern Time , so that it could be broadcast live in primetime hours . However , the request was declined by the IIHF , after the Soviets complained that it would cause the game to air at 4 a.m. Moscow Time , as opposed to 1 a.m. Moscow Time . As a result , ABC decided not to broadcast the game live for the U.S. audience , and tape delayed it for broadcast during its primetime block of Olympics coverage instead . Before the game aired , ABC 's Olympics host Jim McKay openly stated that the game had already occurred , but that they had promised not to spoil its results . In order to accommodate coverage of the men 's slalom competition , portions of the game were also edited for time . To this day some of the people that watched the game on television still believe that it was live . With a capacity of 8,500 , the Field House was packed . The home crowd waved U.S. flags and sang patriotic songs such as `` God Bless America '' . Before the game , Brooks read his players a statement he had written out on a piece of paper , telling them that `` You were born to be a player . You were meant to be here . This moment is yours . '' Brooks believed they could win and later said , `` The Russians were ready to cut their own throats . But we had to get to the point to be ready to pick up the knife and hand it to them . So the morning of the game I called the team together and told them , ' It 's meant to be . This is your moment and it 's going to happen . ' It 's kind of corny and I could see them thinking , ' Here goes Herb again ... ' But I believed it . '' First period ( edit ) As in several previous games , the U.S. team fell behind early . Vladimir Krutov deflected a slap shot by Alexei Kasatonov past U.S. goaltender Jim Craig at the 9 : 12 mark to give the Soviets a 1 -- 0 lead , and after Buzz Schneider scored for the United States on a 50 - foot shot from the left boards at 14 : 03 to tie the game , the Soviets struck again with a Sergei Makarov goal with 17 : 34 gone . With his team down 2 -- 1 , Craig improved his play , turning away many Soviet shots before the U.S. team had another shot on goal ( the Soviet team had 39 shots on goal in the game , the Americans 16 ) . In the waning seconds of the first period , Dave Christian fired a slap shot on Tretiak from 100 feet ( 30 m ) away . The Soviet goalie saved the shot but misplayed the rebound , which bounced out some 20 feet ( 6.1 m ) in front of him . Mark Johnson sliced between the two defenders , found the loose puck , and fired it past a diving Tretiak to tie the score with one second left in the period . This would be an important judgment call by the officials , as an official announcement confirming the goal did not come until many Soviet players were off the ice and heading to the locker room for intermission . The first period ended with the game tied 2 -- 2 . Second period ( edit ) Tikhonov replaced Tretiak with backup goaltender Vladimir Myshkin immediately after Johnson 's tying goal , a move which shocked players on both teams . Tikhonov later identified this as the `` turning point of the game '' , and called it `` the biggest mistake of my career '' . Years later , when Johnson asked Viacheslav Fetisov , now an NHL teammate , about the move , Fetisov responded with `` Coach crazy '' . Myshkin allowed no goals in the second period . The Soviets dominated play in the second period , outshooting the Americans 12 -- 2 , but scored only once , on a power play goal by Aleksandr Maltsev 2 : 18 into play . After two periods the Soviet Union led 3 -- 2 . Third period ( edit ) Vladimir Krutov was sent to the penalty box at the 6 : 47 mark of the third period for high - sticking . The Americans , who had managed only two shots on Myshkin in 27 minutes , had a power play and a rare offensive opportunity . Myshkin stopped a Mike Ramsey shot , then U.S. team captain Mike Eruzione fired a shot wide . Late in the power play , Dave Silk was advancing into the Soviet zone when Valeri Vasiliev knocked him to the ice . The puck slid to Mark Johnson . Johnson fired off a shot that went under Myshkin and into the net at the 8 : 39 mark , as the power play was ending , tying the game at 3 . Only a couple of shifts later , Mark Pavelich passed to Eruzione , who was left undefended in the high slot . Eruzione , who had just come onto the ice , fired a shot past Myshkin , who was screened by Vasili Pervukhin . This goal gave Team USA a 4 -- 3 lead , its first of the game , with exactly 10 minutes remaining to play . The Soviets , trailing for the first time in the game , attacked ferociously . Moments after Eruzione 's goal , Maltsev fired a shot which ricocheted off the right goal post . As the minutes wound down , Brooks kept repeating to his players , `` Play your game . Play your game . '' Instead of going into a defensive crouch , the United States continued to play offense , even getting off a few more shots on goal . The Soviets began to shoot wildly , and Sergei Starikov admitted that `` we were panicking '' . As the clock ticked down below a minute , the Soviets got the puck back into the American zone , and Mikhailov passed to Vladimir Petrov , who shot wide . The Soviets never pulled Myshkin for an extra attacker , much to the Americans ' disbelief . Starikov later explained that `` We never did six - on - five '' , not even in practice , because `` Tikhonov just did n't believe in it '' . Craig kicked away a Petrov slap shot with 33 seconds left . Kharlamov fired the puck back in as the clock ticked below 20 seconds . A wild scramble for the puck ensued , ending when Johnson found it and passed it to Ken Morrow . As the U.S. team tried to clear the zone ( move the puck over the blue line , which they did with seven seconds remaining ) , the crowd began to count down the seconds left . Sportscaster Al Michaels , who was calling the game on ABC along with former Montreal Canadiens goalie Ken Dryden , picked up on the countdown in his broadcast , and delivered his famous call : 11 seconds , you 've got 10 seconds , the countdown going on right now ! Morrow , up to Silk . Five seconds left in the game . Do you believe in miracles ? YES ! The March 3 , 1980 cover of Sports Illustrated ran without any accompanying captions or headlines . As his team ran all over the ice in celebration , Herb Brooks sprinted back to the locker room and cried . In the locker room afterwards , players spontaneously broke into a chorus of `` God Bless America '' and received a congratulatory phone call from President Jimmy Carter . During the broadcast wrap - up after the game , ABC Olympic sports anchor Jim McKay compared the American victory over the Soviet professionals to a group of Canadian college football players defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers ( the recent Super Bowl champions and at the height of their dynasty ) . American aftermath ( edit ) Gold medal ( edit ) Jim Craig 's gear from 1980 , at the Hockey Hall of Fame The United States did not immediately win the gold medal upon defeating the USSR . In 1980 , the medal round was a round - robin , not a single elimination format as it is today . Under Olympic rules at the time , the group game with Sweden was counted along with the medal round games versus the Soviet Union and Finland so it was mathematically possible for the United States to finish anywhere from first to fourth . Needing to win to secure the gold medal , Team USA came back from a 2 -- 1 third period deficit to defeat Finland 4 -- 2 . According to Mike Eruzione , coming into the dressing room in the second intermission , Brooks turned to his players , looked at them and said , `` If you lose this game , you 'll take it to your fucking graves . He then walked towards the locker room door , paused and looked over his shoulder and said to us again `` Your fucking graves '' . '' At the time , the players ascended a podium to receive their medals and then lined up on the ice for the playing of the national anthem , as the podium was only meant to accommodate one person . Only the team captains remained on the podium for the duration . After the completion of the anthem , Eruzione motioned for his teammates to join him on the podium . Today , podiums are not used for ice hockey ; the teams line up on their respective bluelines after the final game . The cover of the March 3 , 1980 , issue of Sports Illustrated was a photograph by Heinz Kluetmeier of the American players celebrating and waving an American flag ; it did not feature any explanatory captions or headlines , because , as Kluetmeier put it , `` It did n't need it . Everyone in America knew what happened '' . The U.S. team also received the magazine 's `` Sportsmen of the Year '' award , as well as being named as Athlete of the Year by the Associated Press and ABC 's Wide World of Sports . In 2004 , ESPN , as part of its 25th anniversary , declared the Miracle on Ice to be the top sports headline moment , and game of the period 1979 -- 2004 . The victory was voted the greatest sports moment of the 20th century by Sports Illustrated . The U.S. team had the honor of lighting the Olympic cauldron at the 2002 Winter Olympics . After 1980 Winter Olympics ( edit ) At the 1981 Canada Cup , the United States , with seven players from their 1980 Olympic team , again faced the Soviet Union . The Soviets took the opening round encounter 4 -- 1 in Edmonton . At the 1982 World Championship in Finland , with Mike Ramsey , Mark Johnson , Buzz Schneider , and John Harrington , the Americans again met the Soviets , but once again the U.S. lost , 8 -- 4 . Later careers ( edit ) Of the 20 players on Team USA , 13 eventually played in the NHL . Five of them went on to play over 500 NHL games , and three would play over 1,000 NHL games . Neal Broten played one more season for the Golden Gophers before moving on to the NHL , and appeared in 1,099 NHL games over 17 seasons , with 992 of them being with the Minnesota North Stars / Dallas Stars franchise . He captained the Stars before being traded midway through the 1994 -- 95 season to the New Jersey Devils . A two - time All - Star , he tallied 923 career points ( 289 goals , 634 assists ) , became the first American player to record 100 points in a season , and won a Stanley Cup as a member of the Devils in 1995 . Broten had already won the NCAA championship in 1979 at the University of Minnesota ; this , combined with the Olympic gold medal in 1980 and the 1995 Cup win ( Broten scored the Cup - winning goal in Game 4 as Viacheslav Fetisov , playing for the Red Wings , fell down ) , made him the first player in the history of the sport to win a championship at the collegiate , professional , and Olympic levels . The Dallas Stars have since retired number 7 for Broten . Ken Morrow won the Stanley Cup in 1980 as a member of the New York Islanders , becoming the first hockey player to win an Olympic gold medal and the Cup in the same year . He went on to play 550 NHL games and win three more Cups , all with the Islanders . Morrow later worked for the Islanders as Director of Pro Scouting . Mike Ramsey played in 1,070 games over 18 years . Fourteen of those years were spent with the Buffalo Sabres , with whom he played 911 games and was a five - time All - Star , captaining the team from 1990 to 1992 . In 1995 , he played in the Stanley Cup Finals while with the Detroit Red Wings , but got swept by Neal Broten and the New Jersey Devils . In 2000 , Ramsey became an assistant coach for the Minnesota Wild . Dave Christian spent 14 years in the NHL , the bulk of them for the original Winnipeg Jets ( for whom he served as team captain ) and Washington Capitals . In 1990 , Christian played in the Stanley Cup Finals while on the Boston Bruins , but lost in five games to the Edmonton Oilers . He ended his career with 783 points ( 340 goals , 443 assists ) in 1,009 games and made the All - Star team in 1991 . Mark Johnson played for several teams in the NHL before finding a home in New Jersey , tallying 508 career points ( 203 goals , 305 assists ) in 669 games over 11 seasons . Like Christian , Ramsey , and Broten , he became an NHL All - Star ( in 1984 ) and served as team captain with the Hartford Whalers . In 2002 Johnson became the coach of the University of Wisconsin -- Madison women 's team , leading the Badgers to National Championships in 2006 , 2007 ( won in the same Lake Placid arena ) , 2009 and 2011 . Johnson also served as head coach of the women 's ice hockey team that won the silver medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics . Jack O'Callahan played 390 NHL regular season games between 1982 and 1989 for the Chicago Blackhawks and New Jersey Devils . Mark Pavelich played 355 NHL regular season games in the NHL for the New York Rangers , Minnesota North Stars and San Jose Sharks between 1981 and 1992 . Dave Silk played 249 NHL regular season games for the Boston Bruins , Winnipeg Jets , Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers between 1980 and 1985 . The Miracle on Ice launched the professional careers of several players , and made broadcaster Al Michaels famous . Jim Craig appeared in 30 NHL games for the Atlanta Flames , Boston Bruins and Minnesota North Stars between 1980 and 1984 . Team captain Mike Eruzione did not play any high - level ice hockey after the 1980 Olympics , as he felt that he had accomplished all of his hockey goals with the gold medal win . He did work as a hockey television analyst in the 1980s and 1990s . Craig Patrick , Brooks ' assistant coach and assistant general manager , went on to both manage and coach the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL . As a result of his success with the Penguins , who won two Stanley Cups while Patrick was the GM , he was enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2002 . During that same year , he also served as GM to the Brooks - coached 2002 US Hockey team that won the silver medal at the Salt Lake City games . Herb Brooks , the team coach , coached several NHL teams following the Olympics , with mixed results . He returned to the Olympics as coach of the French team in 1998 , the first Olympics in which NHL professionals competed . Brooks then led Team USA to the silver medal in 2002 , which included a 2 -- 2 round robin draw and a 3 -- 2 semi-final victory over Russia ( the successor to the Soviet Union ) , the semi-final match coming 22 years to the day after the `` Miracle on Ice '' game . Brooks died in a car crash near Forest Lake , Minnesota on August 11 , 2003 at the age of 66 . In 2005 , the Olympic Center ice arena in Lake Placid where the Miracle on Ice took place was renamed in his honor . Al Michaels got the job as play - by - play man for ice hockey at Lake Placid because he was the only member of ABC 's announcing team who had previously called the sport ( at the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo , Japan ) . Michaels was named `` Sportscaster of the Year '' in 1980 for his coverage of the event . Soviet aftermath ( edit ) Silver medal ( edit ) In the Soviet locker room , Tikhonov singled out first - line players Tretiak , Kharlamov , Petrov , and Mikhailov , and told each of them , `` This is your loss ! '' Two days after the Miracle on Ice , the Soviet team defeated Sweden 9 -- 2 , winning the silver medal . The Soviet players were so upset at their loss that they did not turn in their silver medals to get their names inscribed on them , as is custom . The result stunned the Soviet Union and its news media . After 1980 Winter Olympics ( edit ) Despite the loss , the USSR remained the pre-eminent power in Olympic hockey until its 1991 break - up . The Soviet team did not lose a World Championship game until 1985 and did not lose to the United States again until 1991 . Throughout the 1980s , NHL teams continued to draft Soviet players in hopes of enticing them to eventually play in North America . Soviet emigrant Victor Nechayev made a brief appearance with the Los Angeles Kings in the 1982 -- 83 season , and during the 1988 -- 89 season , the Soviet Ice Hockey Federation agreed to let veteran Sergei Pryakhin join the Calgary Flames . NHL careers ( edit ) Former Soviet National team player , Helmuts Balderis pictured in 2014 . Balderis played a season late in his career with the Minnesota North Stars of the NHL In the 1989 / 90 season , six 1980 Soviet Olympians joined NHL clubs : Helmuts Balderis , Viacheslav Fetisov , Alexei Kasatonov , Vladimir Krutov , Sergei Makarov and Sergei Starikov . Fetisov was a teammate of Mike Ramsey on the 1995 Detroit Red Wings team that lost the Stanley Cup Final . Fetisov completed his career by winning Cups with the Red Wings in 1997 and 1998 ; the first Cup win also made Fetisov a member of the Triple Gold Club , consisting of individuals who have won a Stanley Cup plus gold medals at the Olympics and World Championships . Makarov won the Calder Memorial Trophy as NHL Rookie of the Year in 1989 / 90 , becoming the oldest player to win that award . That same season , younger Soviet star Alexander Mogilny defected to play for the Buffalo Sabres , followed the next year by Sergei Fedorov who defected to play for the Detroit Red Wings . Then , with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 , a flood of ex-Soviet stars joined the NHL , including Pavel Bure and Vladimir Konstantinov . Since then , many of the NHL 's top players have come from the post-Soviet states . Notable rematches ( edit ) The U.S. and the Soviet Union next met at the Olympics at the 1988 games . The Soviets won the first round encounter 7 -- 5 . The Soviets went on to win the gold medal , while the U.S. placed seventh . The two teams met again at the 1992 Olympics in a semi-final . There , the Unified Team ( the successor to the Soviet Union ) won 5 -- 2 . The Unified Team eventually won the gold medal , while the U.S. placed fourth . The U.S. and Russia met twice at the 1996 World Cup of Hockey , Americans won both games 5 - 2 en route to the gold medal . The U.S. , coached by Herb Brooks , and Russia , coached by Slava Fetisov , met twice in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City , which included a 2 -- 2 round robin draw and a 3 -- 2 semi-final in favor of USA , with the semi-final match coming 22 years to the day after the `` Miracle on Ice '' game . The two teams met at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey . The U.S. obtained a decisive victory 5 - 3 in the quarterfinal . The U.S. and Russia played each other in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi . The round robin game was tied 2 -- 2 after overtime and was won by the Americans in an 8 - round shootout , with T.J. Oshie scoring on 4 of 6 attempts for the USA . The match has been dubbed by some as the `` Marathon on Ice '' . Film , television and music ( edit ) A made - for - TV movie Miracle on Ice , starring Karl Malden as Brooks and Steve Guttenberg as Craig , aired on ABC television in March 1981 . It incorporated actual game footage and original commentary from the 1980 Winter Games . Miami punk band Principles recorded their lone cash - in single , ' USA 423 , ' on Grey Dome Records in 1980 in celebration of the United States victory . The documentary film Do You Believe in Miracles ? , narrated by Liev Schreiber , premiered on HBO in February 2001 and was subsequently released on home video . In 2004 , Walt Disney Pictures released the film Miracle , starring Kurt Russell as Brooks . Al Michaels recreated his commentary for most of the games . The final ten seconds , however , and his `` Do you believe in miracles ? YES ! '' call , were from the original broadcast and used in the film since the filmmakers felt that they could not ask him to recreate the emotion he felt at that moment . The film was dedicated to Herb Brooks , who died shortly after principal photography was completed . The movie was released by Walt Disney Pictures , by that point a sister company to ABC . The documentary Of Miracles And Men , which was directed by Jonathan Hock , premiered on ESPN on February 8 , 2015 as part of the channel 's 30 for 30 series . The story of the 1980 matchup is told from the Soviet perspective while also branching out to include what happened in the years that immediately followed . Slava Fetisov 's return to Lake Placid was focused on heavily , as he takes his daughter Anastasia on the trip to reminisce .

With this chaos , the totalitarian , theonomic government of `` Gilead '' establishes rule in the former United States in the aftermath of a civil war . Society is organized by power - hungry leaders along with a new , militarized , hierarchical regime of fanaticism and newly created social classes , in which women are brutally subjugated , and by law are not allowed to work , own property , handle money , or read . Worldwide infertility has resulted in the conscription of the few remaining fertile women in Gilead , called `` Handmaids '' , according to an extremist interpretation of the Biblical account of Bilhah . They are assigned to the homes of the ruling elite , where they must submit to ritualized rape by their male masters in order to become pregnant and bear children for those men and their wives . Alongside the Handmaids , much of society is now grouped into classes that dictate their freedoms and duties . Women are divided into a small range of social categories , each one signified by a plain dress in a specific color : Handmaids wear red , Marthas ( who are housekeepers and cooks , named after the biblical figure ) wear green , and Wives ( who are expected to run their households ) wear blue and turquoise . Econowives , the lower - class women who still have minimal agency , are a sort of mixture of all these categories , and they wear gray ( a departure from the book in which Econowives wear clothing striped with the aforementioned colors ) . Women prisoners are called Unwomen and are worked to death clearing toxic waste in the Colonies . Another class of women , Aunts ( who train and oversee the Handmaids ) , wear brown . Additionally , the Eyes are a secret police watching over the general populace for signs of rebellion , Hunters track down people attempting to flee the country , and Jezebels are prostitutes in secret brothels catering to the elite ruling class . June Osborne , renamed Offred ( Elisabeth Moss ) , is the Handmaid assigned to the home of the Gileadan Commander Fred Waterford ( Joseph Fiennes ) and his wife Serena Joy ( Yvonne Strahovski ) . Offred is subject to strict rules and constant scrutiny ; an improper word or deed on her part can lead to brutal punishment . Offred , who is named after her male master ( `` Of Fred '' ) like all Handmaids , can remember the `` time before '' , when she was married and had a daughter , a job , a bank account , and her own name and identity , but all she can safely do now is follow the rules of Gilead in hopes that she can someday live free again and be reunited with her daughter . The Waterfords , key players in the rise of Gilead , have their own conflicts with the realities of the society they have helped create .

Joseph Fiennes as Commander Fred Waterford , a high - ranking government official and June 's master . Both he and his wife played an instrumental role in Gilead 's founding .

Yvonne Strahovski as Serena Joy Waterford , Fred 's wife and a former conservative cultural activist . She appears to have accepted her new role in a society that she helped create . She is poised and deeply religious , but capable of great cruelty and is often callous to June . She is desperate to become a mother . Alexis Bledel as Emily / Ofglen / Ofsteven , June 's shopping partner . Although June is initially wary of her , it is revealed Ofglen is not as pious as she seems , and the two become friends . Ofglen had a wife and son , and was a university lecturer in cellular biology . Being homosexual is punishable by death in Gilead , and most university professors are sent to labour camps , but Ofglen was spared and made a Handmaid , due to her fertility . She is later captured and cruelly punished for her relationship with a Martha , and is sent to another household where she becomes `` Ofsteven '' . She is involved with a resistance movement called `` Mayday '' .

She gives birth to a child for Warren and Naomi Putnam , whom they name `` Angela '' , but Janine insists the baby 's name is `` Charlotte '' . Janine is later reassigned and becomes `` Ofdaniel '' . She was temporarily assigned to the Colonies until a bombing at the new Rachel and Leah Center . Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia , a woman in charge of overseeing the Handmaids in their sexual reeducation and duties . She is brutal and subjects insubordinate Handmaids to harsh physical punishment , but she also cares for her charges and believes deeply in the Gileadean mission and doctrine . She appears to have a soft spot for Janine , and even goes so far as to address her by her given name on occasion . O.T. Fagbenle as Lucas `` Luke '' Bankole , June 's husband from before Gilead . Because he and June began their relationship before his divorce from his first wife , their union is considered invalid in the new society . June is considered an adulteress and their daughter , Hannah , is considered illegitimate . Initially , June believes he has been killed , but it is later revealed Luke managed to escape to Canada . Max Minghella as Nick Blaine , Commander Waterford 's driver and a former drifter from Michigan who has feelings for June .

Tattiawna Jones as Lillie Fuller / Ofglen No. 2 , who replaces Emily in the position after Emily is captured by the Eyes . She initially follows the rules and does not wish to upset the status quo , but this is because she believes her life as a Handmaid is better than the difficult , impoverished life she led prior to Gilead , rather than out of religious piety .

She is also involved with Mayday and becomes June 's first contact with the resistance group . Jenessa Grant as Dolores / Ofsamuel , a local Handmaid with a friendly and talkative nature .

When Offred asks how Ofglen knows this information , she reveals that she is part of a resistance movement against the government , but Offred declines to join . Commander Waterford 's driver , Nick , tells Offred that the Commander wants to see her alone later that night , which is forbidden , and warns her that Ofglen is dangerous .

In the present , Serena takes Offred to see Ofwarren and the baby , and Offred fears Ofwarren is delusional . Back home , Offred is interrogated by an Eye and Aunt Lydia about her knowledge of Ofglen . Offred eventually reveals she knew Ofglen was gay and for this , Aunt Lydia shocks Offred with a cattle prod . Before she can leave the room , Offred quotes one of the Beatitudes from the Bible , which would have earned her a much more serious beating , but Serena intervenes , believing that Offred is pregnant . When Offred later tells Serena that she 's not pregnant , Serena angrily locks her in her room . In a flashback , June and Moira attend a protest against the new laws amidst automatic gunfire and explosives .

When Rita , the Commander 's housekeeper , finds Offred lying on the closet floor , Offred tells her that she fainted . Serena then has Offred sent to the hospital for a check - up . During the examination the physician remarks that the Commander is most likely sterile , as is common . He offers to personally impregnate her but she declines .

Commander Waterford has an unsuccessful Ceremony night with Offred , but later that night , they have another game of Scrabble . She asks him about the Latin phrase , and he tells her it means , Do n't let the bastards grind you down . When she inquires about the previous Offred , he tells her that she committed suicide because life was unbearable . He then releases Offred from her solitary confinement . 5 5 `` Faithful '' Mike Barker Dorothy Fortenberry May 10 , 2017 ( 2017 - 05 - 10 ) Serena suggests to Offred that she have sex with Nick in case Commander Waterford is sterile . Later that day , Serena leads Offred up to Nick 's room and waits by the door while Offred and Nick have detached sex . Flashbacks detail Luke and June 's first meeting and courtship . At the grocery store , Offred talks to the original Ofglen , now called Ofsteven , but Ofsteven is not as responsive as she used to be . During a Ceremony night , the Commander touches Offred 's thigh , which she later tells him never to do again . In their ensuing conversation , the Commander admits that while they thought they were building a better world , they knew that `` better never means better for everyone .

She pleads for their help , but in response , the Mexican ambassador explains her own country 's dire situation . However , the ambassador 's assistant quietly claims June 's husband is alive and that he can deliver a message to Luke . A flashback details Serena and Fred 's life at the beginnings of the Gilead movement when Serena was a conservative cultural activist with passion and intelligence equal to her husband 's .

He reaches a small abandoned town and , after passing out from his wounds , is rescued by a resistance group traveling to Canada . These survivors included a Roman Catholic nun , a seemingly mute escaped Handmaid , a homosexual man , and a daughter of a US Army soldier . Initially reluctant , Luke joins them after one of the survivors , Zoe , shows him that Gileadan authorities hanged townspeople from the rafters of their church for resisting . As they board a boat , Gileadan guards open fire , killing several members of the group , but Luke and Erin , the escaped Handmaid , survive . A further flashback shows Luke , June , and their daughter Hannah before they were separated . June and Luke are helped by Mr. Whitford , a man who knew June 's mother . He leaves them at a secluded cabin in the woods while he arranges documentation for them to escape to Canada . Later , a local hunter tells them Whitford has been caught and hanged , but the hunter helps them cross the border .

Her age at death was 110 years , 93 days . When Pouder was twelve years old , her family emigrated to the United States . There she lived the following 98 years of her life in Baltimore , Maryland . She married Nepalese American Citizen Alexander Poudar , although became a widow very early and had no children . Her extreme longevity claim was certified by Alexander Graham Bell . In her last few months , she was bedridden , blind , and almost deaf , but her mind remained sharp . Florence Knapp ( edit ) Florence Knapp ( October 10 , 1873 -- January 11 , 1988 ) was , for the last two weeks of her life , recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest person in the world . Born in Lansdale , Pennsylvania , she lived in nearby Montgomery Square much of her life and came from a large and long - lived family , eight of her siblings dying in their 80s and 90s and one sister reaching age 108 . By October 1987 , when she was honored by the Pennsylvania legislature , she was recognized by Guinness as the oldest person in the United States , and the death of Anna Eliza Williams on December 27 , 1987 , meant that Knapp became the oldest verified living person . Her death , aged 114 years 93 days , just 15 days after , meant that she never appeared in a Guinness Book as the oldest living person . Her death caused some confusion as to who her successor was , with Guinness recognition and press publicity alighting first on Orpha Nusbaum ( August 1875 -- March 1988 ) , who died before the 1989 edition 's deadline , then Birdie May Vogt ( August 1876 -- July 1989 ) , who appeared in the 1989 edition 's main text , then Jeanne Calment , mentioned in the addenda section , and finally in November 1988 on Carrie C. White , whose claim to birth in November 1874 was accepted . However , with recent census research calling White 's authentication into question , Calment may very well have been Florence Knapp 's actual immediate successor . Ettie Mae Greene ( edit ) Ettie Mae Greene née Thomas ( September 8 , 1877 -- February 26 , 1992 ) was an American supercentenarian who was recognized by Guinness World Records as the ' oldest living American ' in 1991 ( later , the SSA study would replace her with Lucy Hannah , who was apparently older ) . She was born in Wayside , West Virginia , and worked as a seamstress and a farmer . Greene died of a cold at the Springfield Comprehensive Care Center in Springfield , West Virginia . At the time of her death at the age of 114 years , 171 days , she had nine children ( four of whom she had outlived ) , 21 grandchildren , 47 great - grandchildren and 37 great - great - grandchildren . She still holds the record for being the oldest person in the state of West Virginia . Wilhelmina Kott ( edit ) Wilhelmina Kott née Geringer ( March 7 , 1880 -- September 6 , 1994 ) was an American supercentenarian recognized by Guinness World Records as the ' oldest living American ' in its 1995 edition , following the death of Margaret Skeete . She was born in Peru , Illinois , as one of 16 children to George and Sophia Geringer . She moved to Chicago in 1881 , where she lived almost her entire life . She married Charles Kott in 1899 . She died on September 6 , 1994 , aged 114 years 183 days . Mary Bidwell ( edit ) Mary Electa Bidwell née Nobel ( May 19 , 1881 -- April 25 , 1996 ) was an American supercentenarian . She died at age 114 years , 342 days on April 25 , 1996 . She is the oldest person ever to die in Connecticut . Her parents were Charles Woodruff Bidwell and Alice Beach Nobel . She was a descendant of John Bidwell , one of the founders of Hartford , Connecticut . Bidwell worked as a teacher in a one - room school house for six years . She married Charles Hubbell Bidwell , a distant cousin , in 1906 . Bidwell lived on her own in North Haven , Connecticut , until she was 110 . Bidwell died at the Arden House , a nursing home in Hamden , Connecticut . Maggie Barnes ( edit ) Maggie Pauline Barnes née Hinnant ( March 6 , 1882 -- January 19 , 1998 ) was an American supercentenarian . She was a resident of Johnston County , North Carolina . Barnes died from complications following a minor foot infection . Barnes , who was born to a slave and married a tenant farmer , was survived by four children ; 11 of her children preceded her in death . Some dispute exists as to her date of birth . Though the 1882 date is written in the family 's bible , the 1900 US Census lists her as having been born in 1881 , and her marriage license says she was born in 1880 . Authenticating to the latest of those dates , Barnes was 115 years , 319 days old when she died . Barnes is the oldest person ever in U.S. state of North Carolina on record . Mae Harrington ( edit ) Mae Harrington ( née Maxwell ; January 20 , 1889 -- December 29 , 2002 ) was an American supercentenarian who became the world 's oldest living person upon the death of Adelina Domingues . Harrington was also the oldest living American and the oldest person ever from the state of New York , breaking the record held since the 1920s by then world 's oldest person Delina Filkins , also 113 , but her own record was subsequently broken on May 28 , 2005 by Grace Thaxton , who was born in the state before moving to and dying in Kentucky . Because her age was not authenticated during her lifetime , the public recognition she was due went to another 113 - year - old , Mary Parr ( January 29 , 1889 -- October 29 , 2002 ) , who was born nine days after her , dying two months before her , as her age was only validated posthumously . Mary Christian ( edit ) Mary Dorothy Christian ( née Perry , June 12 , 1889 -- April 20 , 2003 ) was an American supercentenarian who became the oldest recognized person in the United States at age 113 upon the death of 113 - year - old Mae Harrington and was succeeded in this title by another 113 - year - old , Elena Slough . Perry was born in Taunton , Massachusetts to parents whose name had been anglicized from Perreira ( she was of Portuguese descent ) . She spent much of her life in California , where she died in a San Pablo , California nursing home at 113 years and 312 days . Elena Slough ( edit ) Elena Proctor Slough née Rodenbaugh ( July 4 , 1889 -- October 5 , 2003 ) was the oldest recognized person in the United States from the death of Mary Christian on April 20 , 2003 , until Slough 's own death , aged 114 years 93 days , six months later . After her death , the oldest recognized person in the United States was Charlotte Benkner . Born in Horsham , Pennsylvania , she married twice and had children by each marriage . Her 90 - year - old daughter died three days before her , at the same Cape May , New Jersey nursing home . Some sources date her birth to 1888 , but the oldest records state that she was born in 1889 . Charlotte Benkner ( edit ) Charlotte Benkner ( née Enterlein ; November 16 , 1889 -- May 14 , 2004 ) was an American supercentenarian and the oldest verified living person from Mitoyo Kawate 's death in 2003 until sufficient documentation was found to validate the age of Ramona Trinidad Iglesias - Jordan of Puerto Rico in March 2004 . The subsequent recognition of María Capovilla of Ecuador in December 2005 moved Benkner down to third place at the time of her death . Benkner was born in Leipzig , Germany , and emigrated to the U.S. in 1896 . She grew up in Peekskill , New York , where her family ran the Albert Hotel , and as a young woman once met then President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt . On her 1908 marriage to Karl Benkner , she moved west , living in Pennsylvania and Ohio before retiring to Arizona . Already a supercentenarian and the oldest person in Arizona , Benkner returned to Ohio to live in North Lima . She became the oldest recognized person in the United States when 114 - year - old Elena Slough died in October 2003 . She lived with her sister Tillie O'Hare ( the youngest of the siblings ) , whom she once cared for when their parents were running the hotel , until Tillie ( born February 15 , 1904 ) died , just three weeks shy of becoming a centenarian , on January 25 , 2004 . Benkner survived her sister by only four months , dying at age 114 years 180 days after she was briefly hospitalized in Youngstown , Ohio , and was buried in Peekskill . Emma Verona Johnston ( edit ) Emma Verona Johnston ( née Calhoun ) ( August 6 , 1890 -- December 1 , 2004 ) was an American supercentenarian recognized as the `` oldest living American '' from Charlotte Benkner 's death in May 2004 until her own death almost 7 months later at age 114 years , 117 days . Johnston was born in Indianola , Iowa to a large family . She was the oldest living graduate of Drake University , where she was a member of the Class of 1912 . At age 98 , she moved from Iowa to Ohio in order to live with her daughter and son - in - law . She continued to be in good health even after turning 110 , still being able to walk up steps , and was also alert and able to engage in conversations . Charlotte Benkner 's death on May 14 , 2004 left Johnston as the oldest documented person in the United States . She died in Worthington , Ohio on December 1 , 2004 .

She lived in her own home in Dallas until the age of 113 , after breaking her hip at her birthday party , she was moved into a personal care home , where she eventually died nine days after having reached the age of 114 .

He credited his longevity to nature , and enjoyed a rich diet of pork , eggs , milk and lard . He gave up smoking cigars at the age of 75 . Francis attempted to join the army in World War I but was rejected for service in 1918 as being too short and small ( he weighed only about 100 pounds ( 45.35 kg ) ) . Despite this , he later was a boxer before becoming a barber and then a chauffeur . Francis claimed to have met Louis Armstrong and Booker T. Washington and to have seen Babe Ruth hit a home run . His wife died in 1964 .

Having previously hosted both the 1900 and 1924 Summer Olympics , Paris will become only the second city to host the Olympic Games three times , after London ( 1908 , 1948 and 2012 ) . The 2024 Games also mark the centennial of the 1924 Games , which were the last Summer Olympics to be held in Paris . They will be the sixth overall Olympic Games held in France ( including summer and winter Games ) . Bidding to host these Games began in 2015 with five candidate cities in contention , but Hamburg , Rome and Budapest withdrew , leaving Paris and Los Angeles as the only two candidates remaining . A proposal to elect the 2024 and 2028 Olympic host cities at the same time was approved by an Extraordinary IOC Session on 11 July 2017 in Lausanne . On 31 July 2017 , the IOC made a deal with Los Angeles to host the 2028 Summer Olympics , making Paris the host of the 2024 Summer Olympics . The formal announcement of the hosts for both Olympiads took place at the 131st IOC Session in Lima , Peru , on 13 September 2017 .

However , the process was hit by withdrawals , with political uncertainty and cost cited as deterring bidding cities . Hamburg withdrew its bid on 29 November 2015 after holding a referendum . Rome withdrew its bid on 21 September 2016 citing fiscal difficulties . On 22 February 2017 , Budapest withdrew its bid after a petition against the bid collected more signatures than necessary for a referendum . Following these withdrawals , the IOC Executive Board met in Lausanne , Switzerland to discuss the 2024 and 2028 bid processes on 9 June 2017 . The International Olympic Committee formally proposed electing the 2024 and 2028 Olympic host cities at the same time in 2017 , a proposal which was approved by an Extraordinary IOC Session on 11 July 2017 in Lausanne . The IOC set up a process whereby the LA 2024 and Paris 2024 bid committees would meet with the IOC to discuss who would host the 2024 Games , who would host the 2028 Games , and whether it were actually possible to select the host city for both at the same time . Following the decision to award the 2024 and 2028 Games simultaneously , Paris was understood to be the preferred host for the 2024 Games . On 31 July 2017 , the IOC announced Los Angeles as the sole candidate for the 2028 Games , opening Paris up to be confirmed as hosts for the 2024 Games . Both decisions were ratified at the 131st IOC Session on 13 September 2017 . Host city election ( edit ) Paris was elected as the host city on September 13 , 2017 at the 131st IOC Session in Lima , Peru . The two French IOC members , Guy Drut and Tony Estanguet were ineligible to vote in this host city election under the rules of the Olympic Charter . 2024 Summer Olympics bidding results City NOC name Votes Paris France Unanimous Sports ( edit ) In 2007 , the IOC established the concept of Olympics including 28 sports : 25 permanent ' core ' sports with 3 additional sports selected for each individual Games . On 8 September 2013 , IOC added wrestling to the Olympic programme for the 2020 and 2024 Games , representing one of these additional sports . FILA ( now known as United World Wrestling ) changed freestyle and Greco - Roman wrestling weight classes for men and decreased to 6 categories in order to add more weights for women . However , in August 2016 , the IOC added five sports to the 2020 Olympics , with plans to separately evaluate the existing 28 sports . No indication was given how this would affect the number of sports in 2024 . The Paris organizers are also in discussions with the IOC and various professional eSport organizations to introduce eSports as a medal - winning sport during the Olympics . Tony Estanguet of the Paris committee said that introducing eSports would help to make the Olympics more relevant to the younger generations : `` The youth , yes they are interested in esport and this kind of thing . Let 's look at it . Let 's meet them . Let 's try if we can find some bridges . '' The final decision as to whether video games will be featured in the 2024 Olympics will be made in 2020 . During the Lima Session , the IOC approved the Rio 2016 sports program for Paris 2024 . New sports will be chosen during the 134th IOC Session in 2019 in Milan , Italy , subject to final approval by the IOC Executive Board in December 2020 . The 2024 Summer Olympic programme is scheduled to feature 28 sports encompassing 319 events , though this is likely to change depending on success of the five additional sports added to the Tokyo Olympics . This means there could be up to 33 sports , and any new sports which are added to the Olympic programme . The number of events in each discipline is noted in parentheses .

Crisis of the Roman Republic
Crisis of the Roman Republic - wikipedia Crisis of the Roman Republic Ancient Rome This article is part of a series on the politics and government of ancient Rome Periods Roman Kingdom 753 -- 509 BC Roman Republic 509 -- 27 BC Roman Empire 27 BC -- AD 395 Principate Dominate Western AD 395 -- 476 Eastern AD 395 -- 1453 Empire of Trebizond AD 1204 -- 1461 Timeline Roman Constitution Constitution of the Kingdom Constitution of the Republic Constitution of the Empire Constitution of the Late Empire Senate Legislative assemblies Executive magistrates Ordinary magistrates Consul Praetor Quaestor Promagistrate Aedile Tribune Censor Governor Extraordinary magistrates Dictator Magister equitum Consular tribune Rex Triumviri Decemviri Titles and honours Emperor Legatus Dux Officium Praefectus Vicarius Vigintisexviri Lictor Magister militum Imperator Princeps senatus Pontifex maximus Augustus Caesar Tetrarch Precedent and law Roman law Ius Imperium Mos maiorum Collegiality Auctoritas Roman citizenship Cursus honorum Senatus consultum Senatus consultum ultimum Assemblies Centuriate Curiate Plebeian Tribal Other countries Atlas The crisis of the Roman Republic refers to an extended period of political instability and social unrest that culminated in the demise of the Roman Republic and the advent of the Roman Empire , from about 134 BC to 44 BC . The exact dates of the Crisis are unclear because `` Rome teetered between normality and crisis '' for many decades . Likewise , the causes and attributes of the crises changed throughout the decades , including the forms of slavery , brigandage , wars internal and external , land reform , the invention of excruciating new punishments , the expansion of Roman citizenship , and even the changing composition of the Roman army . Modern scholars also disagree about the nature of the crisis . Traditionally , the expansion of citizenship ( with all its rights , privileges , and duties ) was looked upon negatively by Sallust , Gibbon , and others of their schools , because it caused internal dissension , disputes with Rome 's Italian allies , slave revolts , and riots . However , other scholars have argued that as the Republic was meant to be res publica -- the essential thing of the people -- the poor and disenfranchised can not be blamed for trying to redress their legitimate and legal grievances . Contents 1 Dating the crisis 1.1 Arguments for an early start - date ( c. 134 to 73 BC ) 1.2 Arguments for a later start date ( 69 to 44 BC ) 1.3 Arguments for an end date ( 49 to 27 BC ) 2 Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus 3 Gaius Marius and Sulla 4 Pompey 5 See also 6 References 7 Major sources and further reading 8 External links Dating the crisis ( edit ) The Roman Republic at 100 BC . For centuries , historians have argued about the start , specific crises involved , and end date for the Crisis of the Roman Republic . As a culture ( or `` web of institutions '' ) , Florence Dupont and Christopher Woodall wrote , `` no distinction is made between different periods . '' However , without question , the Romans lost liberty through plunder , by `` their morally undermining consequences . '' Arguments for an early start - date ( c. 134 to 73 BC ) ( edit ) Harriet I. Flower and Jurgen Von Ungern - Sternberg argue for an exact start date of 10 December 134 BC , with the inauguration of Tiberius Gracchus as tribune , or alternately , when he first issued his proposal for land reform in 133 BC . Appian of Alexandria wrote that this political crisis was `` the preface to ... the Roman civil wars '' . Velleius commented that it was Gracchus ' unprecedented standing for re-election as tribune in 133 BC , and the riots and controversy it engendered , which started the crisis : This was the beginning of civil bloodshed and of the free reign ( sic ) of swords in the city of Rome . From then on justice was overthrown by force and the strongest was preeminent . -- Velleius , Vell . Pat . 2.3. 3 -- 4 , translated and cited by Harriet I. Flower In any case , the assassination of Tiberius Gracchus in 133 BC marked `` a turning point in Roman history and the beginning of the crisis of the Roman Republic . '' Barbette S. Spaeth specifically refers to `` the Gracchan crisis at the beginning of the Late Roman Republic ... '' . Nic Fields , in his popular history of Spartacus , argues for a start date of 135 BC with the beginning of the First Servile War in Sicily . Fields asserts : The rebellion of the slaves in Italy under Spartacus may have been the best organized , but it was not the first of its kind . There had been other rebellions of slaves that afflicted Rome , and we may assume that Spartacus was wise enough to profit by their mistakes . The start of the Social War ( 91 -- 88 BC ) , when Rome 's nearby Italian allies rebelled against her rule , may be thought of as the beginning of the end of the Republic . Fields also suggests that things got much worse with the Samnite engagement at the Battle of the Colline Gate in 82 BC , the climax of the war between Sulla and the supporters of Gaius Marius . Barry Strauss argues that the crisis really started with `` The Spartacus War '' in 73 BC , adding that , because the dangers were unappreciated , `` Rome faced the crisis with mediocrities '' . Arguments for a later start date ( 69 to 44 BC ) ( edit ) Thornton Wilder , in his novel , The Ides of March , focuses on the period c. 69 BC to 44 BC as the Crisis . Pollio and Ronald Syme date the Crisis only from the time of Julius Caesar in 60 BC . Caesar 's crossing of the Rubicon river , the northern boundary of Roman Italy , with his army in 49 BC , a flagrant violation of Roman law , has become the clichéd point of no return for the Republic , as noted in many books , including Tom Holland 's Rubicon : The Last Years of the Roman Republic . Arguments for an end date ( 49 to 27 BC ) ( edit ) The end of the Crisis can likewise either be dated from the assassination of Julius Caesar on 15 March 44 BC , after he and Sulla had done so much `` to dismantle the government of the Republic , '' or alternately when Octavian was granted the title of Augustus by the Senate in 27 BC , marking the beginning of the Roman Empire . The end could also be dated earlier , to the time of the constitutional reforms of Julius Caesar in 49 BC . Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus ( edit ) A fanciful 16th century portrayal of Tiberius Gracchus from Guillaume Rouillé 's Promptuarii Iconum Insigniorum This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( August 2012 ) Tiberius Gracchus took office as a tribune of the plebs in late 134 BC while `` everything in the Roman Republic seemed to be in fine working order . '' There were a few apparently minor problems , such as `` the annoyance of a slave revolt in Sicily '' ( the First Servile War ) . At the same time , Roman society was a highly stratified class system whose divisions were bubbling below the surface . This system consisted of noble families of the senatorial rank , the knight or equestrian class , citizens ( grouped into two or three classes depending on the time period - self - governing allies of Rome , landowners , and plebs or tenant freemen ) , non-citizens who lived outside of southwestern Italy , and at the bottom , slaves . By law , only men who were citizens could vote in certain assemblies , and only those men who owned a certain amount of real property could serve in the military , which would gain them social prestige and additional benefits of citizenship . The government owned large tracts of farmland ( ager publicus ) that it had gained through conquest or escheat ( acquisition from owners who had died without heirs ) ; this it rented out to large landholders who used their slaves to till it or who sub-leased it to small tenant farmers . There was some social mobility and limited suffrage . The plebs ( or plebeians ) were a socio - economic class , but also had possible origins as an ethnic group with its own cult to the goddess Ceres , and ultimately , were a political party during much of the Roman Republic . Beginning in 133 BC , Gracchus tried to redress the grievances of displaced smallholders . He bypassed the Roman senate and used the plebeian assembly to pass a law limiting the amount of land belonging to the state that any individual could farm . This would have resulted in the breakup of the large plantations maintained by the rich on public land and worked by slaves . Gracchus ' moderate plan of agrarian reform was motivated `` to increase the number of Roman citizens who owned land and consequently the number who would qualify as soldiers according to their census rating . '' The plan included a method to quiet title , and had a goal of increasing the efficiency of farmland , while doling out small parcels of land to tenant farmers , his populist constituency . Gracchus used a law that had been in place for over a century , the lex Hortensia of 287 BC , which allowed the assembly of plebs to bypass the Senate . However , another tribune , Marcus Octavius , used his veto to scuttle the plan . It was widely believed that the rich Senators had bribed Octavius to veto the proposal . The crisis escalated : Gracchus pushed the assembly to impeach and remove Octavius ; the Senate denied funds to the commission needed for land reform ; Gracchus then tried to use money out of a trust fund left by Attalus III of Pergamum ; and the Senate blocked that , too . At one point , Gracchus had `` one of his freedmen ... drag Octavius from the speaker 's platform . '' This assault violated the Lex sacrata , which prohibited people of lower status from violating the person of a person of higher class . Rome 's unwritten constitution hampered reform . So Gracchus sought re-election to his one - year term , which was unprecedented in an era of strict term limits . The oligarchic nobles responded by murdering Gracchus . Because Gracchus had been highly popular with the poor , and he had been murdered while working on their behalf , mass riots broke out in the city in reaction to the assassination . Barbette Stanley Spaeth asserts that Ceres ' roles as ( a ) patron and protector of plebeian laws , rights and Tribunes and ( b ) `` normative / liminal '' crimes , continued throughout the Republican era . These roles were `` exploited for the purposes of political propaganda during the Gracchan crisis ... '' Ceres ' Aventine Temple served the plebeians as cult centre , legal archive , treasury , and court of law , founded contemporaneously with the passage of the Lex sacrata ; the lives and property of those who violated this law were forfeit to Ceres , whose judgment was expressed by her aediles . The official decrees of the Senate ( senatus consulta ) were placed in her Temple , under her guardianship ; Livy bluntly states this was done so that the consuls could no longer arbitrarily tamper with the laws of Rome . The Temple might also have offered asylum for those threatened with arbitrary arrest by patrician magistrates . Ceres was thus the patron goddess of Rome 's written laws ; the poet Vergil later calls her legifera Ceres ( Law - bearing Ceres ) , a translation of Demeter 's Greek epithet , thesmophoros . Those who approved the murder of Tiberius Gracchus in 133 BC justified his death as punishment for his offense against the Lex sacrata of the goddess Ceres : those who deplored this as murder appealed to Gracchus ' sacrosanct status as tribune under Ceres ' protection . In 70 BC , Cicero refers to this killing in connection with Ceres ' laws and cults . Spaeth believed that he was killed because : Tiberius Gracchus had transgressed the laws that protected the equilibrium of the social and political order , the laws on the tribunician sacrosanctitas and attempted tyranny , and hence was subject to the punishment they prescribed , consecration of his goods and person ( to Ceres ) . -- Barbette S. Spaeth , The Roman goddess Ceres , p. 74 . Rather than attempting to atone for the murder , the Senate used a mission to Ceres ' temple at Henna ( in Sicily ) to justify his execution . The agrarian reforms were only partially implemented by the commission ; yet Gracchi colonies were set up both Italy and Carthage . About nine years later Tiberius 's younger brother , Gaius , passed more radical reforms . In addition to settling the poor in colonies on land conquered by Rome , he passed the lex frumentaria , which gave the poor the right to buy grain at subsidized prices . In the past , the senate eliminated political rivals either by establishing special judicial commissions or by passing a senatus consultum ultimum ( `` ultimate decree of the senate '' ) . Both devices allowed the senate to bypass the ordinary due process rights that all citizens had . Some of Gaius ' followers caused the death of a man , many historians contend they were attacked and were acting in self - defense . In any case , the death was used by Gaius Gracchus 's political rival , Lucius Opimius , to suspend the constitution again with another senatus consultum ultimum . Gaius fled , but he was also probably murdered by the oligarchs . According to one ancient source , Gaius was not killed directly by them , but ordered his slave Philocrates to do the deed in a murder - suicide . Gaius Marius and Sulla ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( August 2012 ) A Roman denarius depicting Sulla The next major reformer of the time was Gaius Marius , who like the Gracchi , was a populist . Unlike them , he was also a general . He abolished the property requirement for becoming a soldier . The poor enlisted in large numbers . This opening of the Army 's ranks to the capite censii enfranchised the plebs , thus creating an esprit de corps in the enlarged army . Some elites complained that the army now became unruly due to the commoners in its ranks , but this is without good cause : Marius stands accused of paving the way for the so - called lawless , greedy soldiery whose activities were thought to have contributed largely to the decline and fall of the Republic a few generations later . Yet we should not lose sight of the fact that Marius was not the first to enrol the capite censi . Rome was ruled by an aristocratic oligarchy embedded in the Senate . Thus at times of extreme crisis in the past the Senate had impressed them , along with convicts and slaves , for service as legionaries . -- Nic Fields Marius employed his soldiers to defeat an invasion by the Germanic Cimbri and Teutons . His political influence and military leadership allowed him to obtain six terms as consul in 107 , and 103 to 99 BC , an unprecedented honour . However , on 10 December 100 BC the senate declared another senatus consultum ultimum , this time in order to bring down Lucius Appuleius Saturninus , a radical tribune in the mould of the Gracchi who had been inciting violence in Rome on behalf of Marius ' interests . The Senate ordered Marius to put down Saturninus and his supporters , who had taken defensive positions on the Capitol . Marius proceeded to do this , but imprisoned Saturninus inside the Curia Hostilia , intending it seems to keep him alive . However , a senatorial mob lynched the tribune regardless , by climbing atop the Senate House and throwing dislodged roof tiles down onto Saturninus and his supporters below . Sulla , who was appointed as Marius ' quaestor in 107 , later contested with Marius for supreme power . In 88 , the senate awarded Sulla the lucrative and powerful post of commander in the war against Mithridates over Marius . However , Marius managed to secure the position anyway , through political deal - making with Publius Sulpicius Rufus . Sulla initially went along , but finding support among his troops , seized power in Rome and marched to Asia Minor with his soldiers anyway . There , he fought a largely successful military campaign and was not persecuted by the senate . Marius himself launched a coup with Cinna in Sulla 's absence and put to death some of his enemies . He instituted a populist regime , but died soon after . Sulla made peace with Rome 's enemies in the east and began to arrange for his return to Rome . Cinna , Marius 's populist successor , was killed by his own men as they moved to meet Sulla on foreign soil . When Sulla heard of this , he ceased negotiations with Rome and openly rebelled in 84 . Invading the peninsula , he was joined by many aristocrats including Crassus and Pompey and defeated all major opposition within a year . He began a dictatorship and purged the state of many populists through proscription . A reign of terror followed in which some innocents were denounced just so their property could be seized for the benefit of Sulla 's followers . Sulla 's coup resulted in a major victory for the oligarchs . He reversed the reforms of the Gracchi and other populists , stripped the tribunes of the people of much of their power and returned authority over the courts to the senators . See also : Constitutional reforms of Lucius Cornelius Sulla Pompey ( edit ) Main article : Pompey Bust of Pompey the Great in the Residenz , Munich Pompey the Great , the next major leader who aggravated the crisis , was born Gnaeus Pompeius , but took his own cognomen of Magnus ( `` the Great '' ) . Pompey as a young man was allied to Sulla , but in the consular elections of 78 BC , he supported Lepidus against Sulla 's wishes . When Sulla died later that year , Lepidus revolted , and Pompey suppressed him on behalf of the senate . Then he asked for proconsular imperium in Hispania , to deal with the populares general Quintus Sertorius , who had held out for the past three years against Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius , one of Sulla 's most able generals . Pompey 's career seems to have been driven by desire for military glory and disregard for traditional political constraints . Pompey served next to Crassus and Julius Caesar as part of the first triumvirate of Rome , however , before this , the Roman aristocracy turned him down -- as they were beginning to fear the young , popular and successful general . Pompey refused to disband his legions until his request was granted . The senate acceded , reluctantly granted him the title of proconsul and powers equal to those of Metellus , and sent him to Hispania . Pompey infamously wiped out what remained of Spartacus ' troops in 71 BC , who had been pinned down by Marcus Crassus . He received Rome 's highest honor , the triumph , while Crassus only received the honorable mention of an ovation , which hurt Crassus ' pride . In 69 BC , he conquered Syria , defeated King Tigranes of Armenia , and replaced one puppet king , Seleucus VII Philometor with his brother Antiochus XIII Asiaticus . Four years later , he deposed the monarchy , replacing it with a governor . This not only finished off the Seleucids , but brought in thousands of slaves and strange peoples , including the Judeans , to Rome , thus creating the Jewish diaspora . This generated swarms of refugees , which can only have created its own discord . While many of Pompey 's reckless actions ultimately increased discord in Rome , his unlucky alliance with Crassus and Caesar is cited as being especially dangerous to the Republic . In January 49 B.C. , Caesar led his legions across the Rubicon River from Cisalpine Gaul to Italy , thus declaring war against Pompey and his forces . In August 48 B.C. , with Pompey in pursuit , Caesar paused near Pharsalus , setting up camp at a strategic location . When Pompey 's senatorial forces fell upon Caesar 's smaller army , they were entirely routed , and Pompey fled to Egypt . Pompey hoped that King Ptolemy , his former client , would assist him , but the Egyptian king feared offending the victorious Caesar . On September 28 , Pompey was invited to leave his ships and come ashore at Pelusium . As he prepared to step onto Egyptian soil , he was treacherously struck down and killed by an officer of Ptolemy .

Danger zone (food safety)
Danger zone ( Food Safety ) - wikipedia Danger zone ( Food Safety ) Jump to : navigation , search Food safety Terms Foodborne illness Hazard analysis and critical control points ( HACCP ) Hazard analysis and risk - based preventive controls ( HARPC ) Critical control point Critical factors FAT TOM pH Water activity ( a ) Bacterial pathogens Clostridium botulinum Escherichia coli Listeria Salmonella Vibrio cholerae Cronobacter spp Viral pathogens Enterovirus Hepatitis A Norovirus Rotavirus Parasitic pathogens Cryptosporidium Entamoeba histolytica Giardia Trichinella The temperature range in which food - borne bacteria can grow is known as the danger zone . Food safety agencies , such as the United States ' Food Safety and Inspection Service ( FSIS ) , define the danger zone as roughly 4 to 60 ° C ( 39 to 140 ° F ) . The FSIS stipulates that potentially hazardous food should not be stored at temperatures in this range in order to prevent foodborne illness ( for example , a refrigerator 's temperature must be kept below 4 ° C ( 40 ° F ) ) , and that food that remains in this zone for more than two hours should not be consumed . Foodborne microorganisms grow much faster in the middle of the zone , at temperatures between 21 and 47 ° C ( 70 and 117 ° F ) . Food - borne bacteria , in large enough numbers , may cause food poisoning , symptoms similar to gastroenteritis or `` stomach flu '' ( a misnomer , as true influenza primarily affects the respiratory system ) . Some of the symptoms include stomach cramps , nausea , vomiting , diarrhea , and fever . Food - borne illness becomes more dangerous in certain populations , such as people with weakened immune systems , young children , the elderly , and pregnant women . In Canada , there are approximately 11 million cases of food - borne disease per year . These symptoms can begin as early as shortly after and as late as weeks after consumption of the contaminated food . Time and temperature control plays a critical role in food safety . To prevent time - temperature abuse , the amount of time food spends in the danger zone must be minimized . A logarithmic relationship exists between microbial cell death and temperature : a significantly large number of cells may survive slightly lower temperatures . In addition to reducing the time spent in the danger zone , foods should be moved through the danger zone as few times as possible when reheating or cooling . Foods that are potentially hazardous inside the danger zone : Meat : beef , poultry , pork , seafood Eggs and other protein - rich foods Dairy products Cut or peeled fresh produce Cooked vegetables , beans , rice , pasta Sauces , such as gravy Sprouts Any foods containing the above , e.g. casseroles , salads , quiches See also ( edit ) Food safety Food portal Science portal References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Danger Zone ( 41 ° F - 141 ° F ) Food Safety and Inspection Service '' .

Michael Straczynski Mark Protosevich Based on Thor by Stan Lee Larry Lieber Jack Kirby Starring Chris Hemsworth Natalie Portman Tom Hiddleston Stellan Skarsgård Colm Feore Ray Stevenson Idris Elba Kat Dennings Rene Russo Anthony Hopkins Music by Patrick Doyle Cinematography Haris Zambarloukos Edited by Paul Rubell Production company Marvel Studios Distributed by Paramount Pictures Release date April 17 , 2011 ( 2011 - 04 - 17 ) ( Sydney ) May 6 , 2011 ( 2011 - 05 - 06 ) ( United States ) Running time 114 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $150 million Box office $449.3 million Thor is a 2011 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name , produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures . It is the fourth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) . The film was directed by Kenneth Branagh , written by the writing team of Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz along with Don Payne , and stars Chris Hemsworth as the title character , alongside Natalie Portman , Tom Hiddleston , Stellan Skarsgård , Colm Feore , Ray Stevenson , Idris Elba , Kat Dennings , Rene Russo , and Anthony Hopkins . The film sees Thor banished to Earth from Asgard , stripped of his powers and his hammer Mjölnir , after reigniting a dormant war . As his brother Loki plots to take the Asgardian throne , Thor must prove himself worthy . Sam Raimi first developed the concept of a film adaptation of Thor in 1991 , but soon abandoned the project , leaving it in `` development hell '' for several years . During this time , the rights were picked up by various film studios until Marvel signed Mark Protosevich to develop the project in 2006 , and planned to finance it and release it through Paramount . Matthew Vaughn was originally assigned to direct the film for a tentative 2010 release . However , after Vaughn was released from his holding deal in 2008 , Branagh was approached and the film 's release was rescheduled to 2011 . The main characters were cast in 2009 , and principal photography took place in California and New Mexico from January to May 2010 . The film was converted to 3D in post-production . Thor premiered on April 17 , 2011 , in Sydney , Australia and was released on May 6 , 2011 , in the United States . The film was a financial success and many in the cast received praise , including Hemsworth , although the Earth - based elements of the film received some criticism . A sequel , Thor : The Dark World , was released on November 8 , 2013 . A third film , Thor : Ragnarok , was released on November 3 , 2017 .

The Asgardian warriors defeat the Frost Giants and seize the source of their power , the Casket of Ancient Winters . In the present , Odin 's son Thor prepares to ascend to the throne of Asgard , but is interrupted when Frost Giants attempt to retrieve the Casket . Against Odin 's order , Thor travels to Jotunheim to confront Laufey , accompanied by his brother Loki , childhood friend Sif and the Warriors Three : Volstagg , Fandral , and Hogun . A battle ensues until Odin intervenes to save the Asgardians , destroying the fragile truce between the two races . For Thor 's arrogance , Odin strips his son of his godly power and exiles him to Earth as a mortal , accompanied by his hammer Mjölnir , now protected by an enchantment that allows only the worthy to wield it . Thor lands in New Mexico , where astrophysicist Dr. Jane Foster , her assistant Darcy Lewis , and mentor Dr. Erik Selvig find him . The local populace finds Mjolnir , which S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson soon commandeers before forcibly acquiring Foster 's data about the wormhole that delivered Thor to Earth . Thor , having discovered Mjolnir 's nearby location , seeks to retrieve it from the facility that S.H.I.E.L.D. has constructed , but he finds himself unable to lift it and is captured . With Selvig 's help , he is freed and resigns himself to exile on Earth as he develops a romance with Foster . Loki discovers that he is Laufey 's biological son , adopted by Odin after the war ended . A weary Odin falls into the deep `` Odinsleep '' to recover his strength . Loki seizes the throne in Odin 's stead and offers Laufey the chance to kill Odin and retrieve the Casket . Sif and the Warriors Three , unhappy with Loki 's rule , attempt to return Thor from exile , convincing Heimdall , gatekeeper of the Bifröst -- the means of traveling between worlds -- to allow them passage to Earth . Aware of their plan , Loki sends the Destroyer , a seemingly indestructible automaton , to pursue them and kill Thor . The warriors find Thor , but the Destroyer attacks and defeats them , prompting Thor to offer himself instead . Struck by the Destroyer and near death , Thor 's sacrifice proves him worthy to wield Mjölnir . The hammer returns to him , restoring his powers and enabling him to defeat the Destroyer . Kissing Foster goodbye and vowing to return , he and his fellow Asgardians leave to confront Loki . In Asgard , Loki betrays and kills Laufey , revealing his true plan to use Laufey 's attempt on Odin 's life as an excuse to destroy Jotunheim with the Bifröst Bridge , thus proving himself worthy to his adoptive father . Thor arrives and fights Loki before destroying the Bifröst Bridge to stop Loki 's plan , stranding himself in Asgard . Odin awakens and prevents the brothers from falling into the abyss created in the wake of the bridge 's destruction , but Loki apparently commits suicide by allowing himself to fall when Odin rejects his pleas for approval . Thor makes amends with Odin , admitting he is not ready to be king ; meanwhile , on Earth , Foster and her team search for a way to open a portal to Asgard . In a post-credits scene , Selvig is taken to a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility , where Nick Fury opens a briefcase and asks him to study a mysterious cube - shaped object , which Fury says may hold untold power . An invisible Loki prompts Selvig to agree , and he does . Cast ( edit ) Hemsworth promoting the film in London in April 2011 . Chris Hemsworth as Thor : The crown prince of Asgard , based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name . Director Kenneth Branagh and Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige chose Hemsworth after a back - and - forth process in which the 27 - year - old actor was initially dropped from consideration and then given a second chance to read for the part . Hemsworth stated that he gained 20 pounds for the role by eating non-stop and revealed that `` It was n't until Thor that I started lifting weights , it was all pretty new to me . '' Regarding his take on the character , Hemsworth said , `` We just kept trying to humanize it all , and keep it very real . Look into all the research about the comic books that we could , but also bring it back to ' Who is this guy as a person , and what 's his relationship with people in the individual scenes ? ' '' About approaching Thor 's fighting style , he remarked , `` First , we looked at the comic books and the posturing , the way ( Thor ) moves and fights , and a lot of his power seems to be drawn up through the ground . We talked about boxers , you know , Mike Tyson , very low to the ground and big open chest and big shoulder swings and very sort of brutal but graceful at the same time , and then as we shot stuff things became easier . '' Dakota Goyo portrays a young Thor . Natalie Portman as Jane Foster : A scientist and Thor 's love interest . Marvel Studios stated in an announcement that the character was updated from the comics ' initial portrayal for the feature adaptation . When asked why she took the role , Portman replied , `` I just thought it sounded like a weird idea because Kenneth Branagh 's directing it , so I was just like , ' Kenneth Branagh doing Thor is super-weird , I 've got ta do it . ' '' Portman stated that she really wanted to do a big effects film that emphasized character , and getting to do it with Branagh was a new way of approaching it , relative to Star Wars . Regarding her preparation for the role Portman remarked , `` I signed on to do it before there was a script . And Ken , who 's amazing , who is so incredible , was like , ' You can really help create this character ' . I got to read all of these biographies of female scientists like Rosalind Franklin who actually discovered the DNA double helix but did n't get the credit for it . The struggles they had and the way that they thought -- I was like , ' What a great opportunity , in a very big movie that is going to be seen by a lot of people , to have a woman as a scientist ' . She 's a very serious scientist . Because in the comic she 's a nurse and now they made her an astrophysicist . Really , I know it sounds silly , but it is those little things that makes girls think it 's possible . It does n't give them a ( role ) model of ' Oh , I just have to dress cute in movies ' '' . Hiddleston promoting the film in London in April 2011 . Tom Hiddleston as Loki : Thor 's adoptive brother and nemesis based on the deity of the same name . Hiddleston was chosen after previously working with Branagh on Ivanov and Wallander . Initially , Hiddleston auditioned to play Thor but Branagh decided his talent would be better harnessed playing Loki . Hiddleston stated that , `` Loki 's like a comic book version of Edmund in King Lear , but nastier . '' Hiddleston stated that he had to keep a strict diet before the start of filming because `` Ken ( Branagh ) wants Loki to have a lean and hungry look , like Cassius in Julius Caesar . Physically , he ca n't be posing as Thor '' . Hiddleston looked at Peter O'Toole as inspiration for Loki as well , explaining , `` Interestingly enough , ( Kenneth Branagh ) said to look at Peter O'Toole in two specific films , The Lion in Winter and Lawrence of Arabia . What 's interesting about ... his performance ( as King Henry ) is you see how damaged he is . There 's a rawness ( to his performance ) ; it 's almost as if he 's living with a layer of skin peeled away . He 's grandiose and teary and , in a moment , by turns hilarious and then terrifying . What we wanted was that emotional volatility . It 's a different acting style , it 's not quite the same thing , but it 's fascinating to go back and watch an actor as great as O'Toole head for those great high hills '' . Ted Allpress portrays a young Loki . Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig : A scientist doing research in New Mexico who encounters Thor . Skarsgård stated that he was not initially familiar with the comic book version of Thor . As to why he took the part , Skarsgård remarked , I `` chose Thor because of ( director ) Kenneth Branagh . The script was nice and we got to rehearse and talk to the writers and do some collaborating in the process to make it fit us . So I had a very happy time on it . What I always try to do is immediately do something I just have n't done so I get variation in my life . I 've made about 90 films and if I did the same thing over and over again I would be bored by now . I try to pick different films , I go and do those big ones and having done that I can usually afford to go and do some really small obscure films and experiment a little '' . Colm Feore as Laufey : King of the Frost Giants and Loki 's biological father , based on the mythological being of the same name , who in myth was actually Loki 's mother . Feore stated it took five hours for his makeup to be applied . About his character , Feore remarked , `` I am the King of Frost Giants . And if you 've seen any of the Frost Giants , you know that I am , of course , the Napoleon of Frost Giants . We 've got some massive , fabulous guys who dwarf me and come in at around eight - and - a-half feet , nine feet . But , no . Ca n't you tell by the commanding presence ? I am the boss '' . He said the Shakespearean training he shared with Hopkins and director Branagh helped keep production moving briskly , saying that `` during the breaks , Tony , myself and Ken would be talking in Shakespearean shorthand about what the characters were doing , what we thought they may be like , and how we could focus our attention more intelligently . These were discussions that took no more than a few minutes between takes , but they allowed Ken , Tony and ( me ) to understand each other instantly without Ken taking an hour away to explain to the actors exactly what was going on . So that was enormously helpful . '' Ray Stevenson as Volstagg : A member of the Warriors Three ; a group of three Asgardian adventurers who are among Thor 's closest comrades , known for both his hearty appetite and wide girth . Stevenson previously worked with Kenneth Branagh in the 1998 film The Theory of Flight , and with Marvel Studios as the titular character in Punisher : War Zone . Stevenson wore a fat suit for the role , stating , `` I 've tried the suit on , and what they 've done is kind of sex him up : he 's sort of slimmer but rounder . '' . Stevenson said , `` He 's got every bit of that Falstaffian verve and vigor , and a bit of a beer gut to suggest that enormous appetite , but he 's not the sort of Weeble - shaped figure he is in the comics . He 's Falstaff with muscles . I 've got this amazing foam - injected undersuit that flexes with me . '' Idris Elba as Heimdall : The all - seeing , all - hearing Asgardian sentry of the bifröst bridge , based on the mythological deity of the same name . Elba said Branagh 's involvement was a major incentive to take the role : `` ( Branagh ) called me up personally and said , ' I know this is n't a big role , but I would really love to see you play it . ' It 's Kenneth Branagh . I was like , ' Definitely ' '' . About the role Elba remarked , `` I did green screen for the first time ! I would n't like to do a whole movie of green screen , though . You kind of forget the plot a little -- like being in a Broadway play and doing it over and over and forgetting your line halfway through '' . Elba stated he has made a four - picture commitment with Marvel Studios . Elba 's casting prompted a proposed boycott by the Council of Conservative Citizens and a debate amongst comic book fans , some insisting it was wrong for a black man to play a Nordic god . In response Elba called the debate `` ridiculous '' . Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis : A political science major who is Jane Foster 's intern . Dennings described her character as Foster 's `` little helper gnome '' . Dennings stated that her role was expanded during the rehearsal process . Dennings explained , `` She 's kind of like a cute , clueless , little puppy or maybe a hamster . There was n't much on the page for the Darcy role to begin with and I did n't even see a script before I took the job so I did n't really know who Darcy was at first . But she really evolved -- she 's so much fun now even . She 's very Scooby - Doo if that makes sense . She 's always three steps behind and reacting to what 's happening with these great expressions ... She gets things wrong and does n't care . '' Rene Russo as Frigga : The wife of Odin , queen of Asgard , mother of Thor and adoptive mother of Loki , based on the mythological deity of the same name . Russo stated in March 2011 interview that she has signed on for possible sequels , joking that , `` Eventually they 'll kick me out , so who knows how many I 'll do '' . Anthony Hopkins as Odin : The ruler of Asgard , father of Thor , and adoptive father of Loki , based on the mythological deity of the same name . In an interview Hopkins stated he knew nothing of the comic . About the film he said , `` It 's a superhero movie , but with a bit of Shakespeare thrown in '' . Hopkins stated , `` I 'm very interested in that relationship between fathers and sons '' , and that , `` My father 's relationship with me was cold . He was a hot - blood character but to me , cold . When I was young , he expressed his disappointment because I was bad in school and all of that . He did n't mean any harm , but I felt I could never meet up to his expectations . '' Hopkins expressed that he found a personal resonance in the Odin role , saying , `` He 's a stern man . He 's a man with purpose . I play the god who banishes his son from the kingdom of Asgard because he screwed up . He 's a hot - headed , temperamental young man ... probably a chip off of the old block but I decide he 's not really ready to rule the future kingdom , so I banish him . I 'm harsh and my wife complains and I say , ' That is why I 'm king . ' He 's ruthless , take - it - or - leave - it . Women are much more forgiving ; men are not so forgiving . I know in my life , my karma is , ' If you do n't like it , tough , move on . ' And I move on . I 'm a little like Odin myself '' . In May 2016 , Mel Gibson stated he was approached about the role but `` did n't do it '' . Tadanobu Asano as Hogun : A member of the Warriors Three , primarily identified by his grim demeanor and as the only member who is not an Æsir . Ray Stevenson said of Asano 's character , `` He does n't speak much but when he does , everybody shuts up . But also in the healing room where everyone licks their wounds , he 's the guy who just goes about his business '' . Josh Dallas as Fandral : A member of the Warriors Three , characterized as an irrepressible swashbuckler and romantic . Stuart Townsend was initially cast after Zachary Levi was forced to vacate the role due to a scheduling conflict . However , days before filming began , Townsend was replaced by Dallas citing `` creative differences '' . Dallas said he believed that Fandral `` would like to think of himself a philanderer . He would like to think of himself , I was saying , as the R. Kelly of Asgard . He 's a lover , not a fighter '' . Dallas mentioned that Errol Flynn was an inspiration for the character stating , `` He was a big inspiration for the character and for me . I watched a lot of his movies and kind of got that into my bones . I tried to bring out that little bit of Flynn - ness in it . Flynn had a lot of that boyish charm that Fandral 's got ... '' Jaimie Alexander as Sif : A warrior and Thor 's childhood friend based on the mythological deity of the same name . Alexander was best known for her portrayal of Jessi XX on the ABC Family series Kyle XY . Alexander said that she was familiar with Marvel Comics before having taken the part , having grown up with four brothers . Alexander said the part required hours a day in the gym , though training is not unfamiliar to her , explaining she was one of few girls on her Colleyville , Texas , high - school wrestling team . Alexander described her character as `` one of the guys '' and that , `` She 's a very talented , skilled warrior and can stand on her own against any villain in the film '' . About her relationship with Thor she stated , `` She is very loyal to Thor and cares a lot about protecting him and protecting Asgard '' . Additionally , Clark Gregg reprises his role as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson from the Iron Man films . Adriana Barraza plays diner owner Isabella Alvarez and Maximiliano Hernández plays S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jasper Sitwell . Joseph Gatt , Joshua Cox , and Douglas Tait portray Frost Giants . Stan Lee and J. Michael Straczynski have cameo appearances as pick - up truck drivers , Walter Simonson has a cameo appearance as one of the guests at a large Asgardian banquet , and Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Renner have uncredited cameos as Nick Fury and Clint Barton , respectively . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) `` Thor 's powers are godly , yes ... But at the end of the day , he 's a man ... Odin sends him to Earth because he 's not perfect . He 's brash , arrogant . Even over-confident ... he also bleeds . He struggles . Life kicks him where it hurts the most ... You want to feel Thor 's rage when he rages . You want to see him fight like hell , and take as much as he dishes out -- maybe more . You want to have a visceral reaction to the guy , and what happens to him . You do n't want his adventures to be clean and antiseptic . You want to see the dirt , and grime and blood . You want to feel every bone crunching moment of every fight . And when he unleashes the storm , you want to feel like you 're seeing the power of a GOD at work . '' -- Ashley Miller , co-writer of Thor , about the project Sam Raimi originally envisioned the idea for Thor after making Darkman ( 1990 ) ; he met Stan Lee and pitched the concept to 20th Century Fox , but they did not understand it . Thor was abandoned until April 1997 , when Marvel Studios was beginning to expand rapidly . The film gained momentum after the success of X-Men ( 2000 ) . The plan was for Thor to be made for television . UPN was in talks for airing it ; excited by the prospect , they pushed for a script and approached Tyler Mane to play Thor . In May 2000 , Marvel Studios brought Artisan Entertainment to help finance it as a film , but by June 2004 the project still had yet to be patronised by a studio . Sony Pictures Entertainment finally purchased the film rights , and in December 2004 David S. Goyer was in negotiations to write and direct . By 2005 , though there were talks between Goyer and Marvel , Goyer was no longer interested , though at this point the film was still set to be distributed through Sony Pictures . Mark Protosevich , a fan of the Thor comic book , agreed to write the script in April 2006 , and the project moved to Paramount Pictures , after it acquired the rights from Sony . That year the film was announced to be a Marvel Studios production . In December 2007 , Protosevich described his plans for it `` to be like a superhero origin story , but not one about a human gaining super powers , but of a god realizing his true potential . It 's the story of an Old Testament god who becomes a New Testament god '' . In August 2007 Marvel Studios signed Matthew Vaughn to direct the film . Vaughn then rewrote Protosevich 's script in order to bring down the budget to $150 million , as Protosevich 's first draft would have cost $300 million to produce . He intended to start filming in late 2008 and after the success of Iron Man , Marvel Studios announced that they intended to release Thor on June 4 , 2010 , with Iron Man 2 being used to introduce the character of Thor . Pre-production ( edit ) `` Thor , at his best , has always had a classic bent in terms of his history , the way he speaks and the often Shakespearean dramas that surround him . That kind of dialogue and character needs someone who comes from a classically trained background in order for it not to sound forced or artificial . Branagh is the perfect choice . '' -- J Michael Straczynski , co-writer of Thor , on Kenneth Branagh Vaughn was released when his holding deal expired in May 2008 , at which point Marvel set Protosevich to work on a new draft and began searching for a new director . Guillermo del Toro entered talks to direct the film . Del Toro was a fan of Jack Kirby 's work on the comics , and said that he loved the character of Loki , but wished to incorporate more of the original Norse mythology into the film , including a `` really dingy Valhalla , ( with ) Vikings and mud '' . However , del Toro ultimately turned down Thor to direct The Hobbit . By September 2008 D.J. Caruso had been discussing taking on the project , though he did not read the script . Later that month , Kenneth Branagh entered into negotiations to direct , and by December 2008 , Branagh confirmed that he had been hired . He described it as `` a human story right in the center of a big epic scenario . '' Branagh stated that he hoped to begin filming in January 2010 and Marvel Studios set back the release date of the film from its scheduled July 16 , 2010 date to June 17 , 2011 , almost a full year later . They later moved the release date to May 20 , 2011 , to distance the film 's release from that of Captain America : The First Avenger , another Marvel Studios film that was scheduled to be released on July 22 , 2011 . In October 2008 , Daniel Craig was offered the role , but ultimately turned it down , citing his commitments to the James Bond franchise . In February 2009 , Samuel L. Jackson , who had briefly portrayed Nick Fury at the end of the film Iron Man , signed on to reprise the role in Thor as part of an unprecedented nine - picture deal with Marvel Studios . However , in an April 2010 interview , Jackson stated that he would not be appearing in Thor . When asked why not Jackson explained , `` I have no idea . I 'm not in charge of making those kinds of decisions . I thought I was ; they said I was in the trades , and I was like , ' Ooh ! I got a job ! ' I called my agent he said , ' Naw , you 're not in it . ' I was like , ' Well shit , they need to pay me if they 're gon na put my name in it . ' '' Later in the month , Jackson revealed that he would be filming a scene for Thor to serve as `` connective tissue '' for The Avengers . Also in February , a casting call went out looking for actors with certain physical attributes to audition for the role of Thor . In May 2009 , Chris Hemsworth was in negotiations to portray the title role after a back - and - forth process in which the 25 - year - old actor was refused early on , then given a second chance to read for the part . Hemsworth 's brother , Liam also auditioned for the role , but was passed on by Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige . The next day , Marvel announced that Tom Hiddleston , who had worked with Branagh before and had initially been considered to portray the lead role , had been cast as Loki . In June 2009 , Feige confirmed that both Hemsworth and Hiddleston had signed on . Feige mentioned that the film would take place on both modern day Earth and Asgard but Thor 's human host , Dr. Donald Blake , would not be included . In July 2009 , Marvel announced that Natalie Portman would portray Jane Foster . Jaimie Alexander and Colm Feore were reported to have joined the cast in September , with Alexander portraying Sif and Feore 's role unrevealed , though it was thought to be a villain . In an interview with Swedish news site Ystads Allehanda , Stellan Skarsgård stated that he had joined the cast , though he did not specify his role . By late October Anthony Hopkins had been cast as Odin in the film . The following month , Marvel announced that they had cast the Warriors Three ; Fandral was to be played by Stuart Townsend , Hogun was to be played by Tadanobu Asano and Volstagg was to be played by Ray Stevenson . Idris Elba was announced to have joined the cast , portraying Heimdall . Natalie Portman revealed that Kat Dennings would be involved in the project , portraying Darcy , a coworker of Portman 's Jane Foster . In December 2009 , Rene Russo was cast as Frigga , Thor 's stepmother and Odin 's wife . Later that month , actors Joseph Gatt , Troy Brenna , and Joshua Cox had been cast in the film , though none of their roles were revealed . In January 2010 , Adriana Barraza had joined the film 's cast , in a supporting capacity . Only days before filming began , Stuart Townsend was replaced by Joshua Dallas as Fandral , citing `` creative differences '' . When Spider - Man 4 's production stalled , Paramount and Marvel Entertainment pushed up the release of Thor by two weeks to the then vacated date of May 6 , 2011 . The Science & Entertainment Exchange introduced Marvel Entertainment , Kenneth Branagh , `` the screenwriter , and a few people on the design and production side of things '' to three physicists ( Sean Carroll , Kevin Hand , and Jim Hartle ) , as well as physics student Kevin Hickerson , to provide a realistic science background for the Thor universe . The consultation resulted in a change in Jane Foster 's profession , from nurse to particle physicist , and the terminology ( Einstein - Rosen bridge ) to describe the Bifrost Bridge . Filming ( edit ) Director Kenneth Branagh promoting the film in London in April 2011 . In October 2008 , Marvel Studios signed a long - term lease agreement with Raleigh Studios to photograph their next four films -- Iron Man 2 , Thor , Captain America : The First Avenger and The Avengers -- at Raleigh 's Manhattan Beach , California facility . Production Weekly reported that filming on Marvel 's Thor was scheduled to begin in Los Angeles mid-January , then move to Santa Fe , New Mexico from March until late - April . Principal photography began on January 11 , 2010 . A few days after filming began , Clark Gregg signed on to reprise his role from Iron Man and Iron Man 2 as Agent Coulson . In February , Paramount Pictures entered negotiations with Del Mar , California to use a 300 - yard stretch of beach to film a scene for Thor involving six horses running down the terrain . Paramount said this coastline was ideal because its gradual slope of sand down to the waterline creates excellent reflective opportunities on film . On March 15 , 2010 , production of Thor moved to Galisteo , New Mexico where Cerro Pelon Ranch , an old - fashioned Western film town , was extensively modified for the shoot . Branagh , a fan of the comic book since childhood , commented on the challenge of bridging Asgard and the modern world : `` Inspired by the comic book world both pictorially and compositionally at once , we 've tried to find a way to make a virtue and a celebration of the distinction between the worlds that exist in the film but absolutely make them live in the same world . It 's about finding the framing style , the color palette , finding the texture and the amount of camera movement that helps celebrate and express the differences and the distinctions in those worlds . If it succeeds , it will mark this film as different ... The combination of the primitive and the sophisticated , the ancient and the modern , I think that potentially is the exciting fusion , the exciting tension in the film '' . By April , the prospect for filming parts of Thor in Del Mar , California had fallen through . Paramount Pictures sent a letter informing the city that it has instead chosen an undisclosed Northern California location to film a beachfront scene for the film . The letter cited cost concerns with moving production too far away from its headquarters . Filming wrapped on May 6 , 2010 . Post-production ( edit ) The film 's Bifröst travel sequences ( top ) were inspired by Hubble photography ( bottom ) . In October 2010 , casting calls revealed the film would be undergoing an undisclosed number of reshoots . In March 2011 , scenes involving Adriana Barraza were removed from the theatrical cut of the film during the editing process . Branagh sent a letter of apology explaining the reasons for the cut and desire to work with Barraza again in the future . In response Barraza stated , `` It saddens me because the movie is great and because I was acting alongside some tremendous actors that I admire very much , but I understand the nature of films , and it 's not the first or last time that scenes will be cut '' . Barraza appears in only one scene in the film 's theatrical cut . In that same month , Douglas Tait revealed that he performed for motion capture of the Frost Giants . On his hiring , Tait said `` I am 6'5 '' and have a lean , athletic build , and they hired guys who were 6'7 '' and taller , and weighed over 250 pounds ( 110 kg ) . When the film was being edited , they wanted to make them even bigger and move faster . They auditioned people again and Kenneth Branagh chose me to perform the motion capture movements of the Frost Giants `` . In April 2011 , the IMAX Corporation , Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment announced that they have finalized an agreement to release the film in IMAX 3D , continuing the partnership which began on Iron Man 2 . Branagh stated that the 3 - D process initially made him cringe but said `` We came to feel that in our case 3 - D could be the very good friend of story and character for a different kind of experience '' . Although the film was shot in 2D , Feige stated that the `` special effects for the film were conceived and executed from the beginning in 3D '' . The post-credits scene that sees Nick Fury approach Erik Selvig to ask him to study the Tesseract , was directed by The Avengers 's director , Joss Whedon . BUF Compagnie served as the lead visual effects vendor working on the film , with Digital Domain also providing work on the film . Branagh stated that BUF , who developed the effects for the race through space , were inspired by Hubble photography and other images of deep space . Branagh stated he sent paintings from classic studies by J.M.W. Turner to Digital Domain when creating Jotunheim . Peter Butterworth , VFX supervisor and co-founder of Fuel VFX , said the most challenging task was interpreting what the Bifröst would look like , `` You ca n't Google what these things look like -- they are totally imagined and within the heads of the stakeholders . So to extract that and interpret it for the big screen was an interesting challenge creatively . Technically , probably creating fluid simulations that could be art - directed and used for both the Bifröst and Odin 's chamber shots . Part of the difficulty with solving these is that we had to ensure they would work in stereo . In the film , Odin enters what is known as the `` Odinsleep '' in his chamber to regenerate . Butterworth stated , `` For Odin 's Chamber , we developed a dome and curtain of light rays that hover over Odin 's bed . This dome of light suggests harnessed power and energy that revitalizes him as he sleeps . We took a lot of reference from the natural world such as the corona of the sun and gave the sleep effect plenty of volume and space '' . Music ( edit ) Further information : Thor ( soundtrack ) and Music of the Marvel Cinematic Universe The film 's score was written by composer Patrick Doyle , a frequent collaborator of Branagh . Doyle described Thor as `` the most commercially high profile film I have done since Frankenstein '' , adding that the composing process had the challenge of trying to find a tone that fit the duality of Asgard and Earth . Thus Doyle and Branagh had frequent discussions on the musical direction , with the director suggesting a contemporary feel and having a balance between the music and `` grand images ( that ) were not in any way hyperbolized '' , and the composer in turn implementing `` a strong sense of melody , which he responds to in my work '' . As Doyle declared that his own Celtic background made him familiar with Norse mythology , an old Celtic folk song also provided the inspiration for Thor 's leitmotif . A soundtrack album was released by Buena Vista Records in April 2011 . The film also features a song by the Foo Fighters , `` Walk '' , in both a scene where a powerless Thor shares some boilermakers with Selvig in a roadhouse , and the film 's closing credits . Marvel president Kevin Feige stated that `` Walk '' was a last minute addition , that the crew felt had `` these eerie appropriate lyrics and themes '' upon hearing it . Branagh in particular thought that `` these lyrics about learning to walk again '' were appropriate `` of ( a ) movie about redemption , learning to be a hero . '' Release ( edit ) Thor held its world premiere at the Event Cinemas theatre in George Street , Sydney on April 17 , 2011 , with the film opening on April 21 , 2011 in Australia . The following weekend it opened in 56 markets , while the premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles , California took place on May 2 , 2011 . Thor opened on May 6 , 2011 in the United States , in 3,955 theaters ( of which 214 were IMAX 3D and 2,737 in 3D , a record amount ) . Marketing ( edit ) Hemsworth , Portman , Dennings and Hiddleston at the 2010 San Diego Comic - Con International . In July 2010 Marvel Studios held a Thor panel at the 2010 San Diego Comic - Con International during which Kenneth Branagh and Chris Hemsworth , Natalie Portman , Kat Dennings , Tom Hiddleston , and Clark Gregg discussed the film and showed some clips from it . A few days later , this footage was leaked on the internet . The first television advertisement was broadcast during Super Bowl XLV on the Fox network in the United States . The rate for advertising during the game was approximately $3 million per 30 - second spot . Marvel Studios and Acura launched a joint viral marketing promotion at the 2011 Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo . Other official promotional partners included Burger King , Dr. Pepper , 7 Eleven , and Visa . In May 2011 Marvel Entertainment 's President of Print , Animation and Digital , Dan Buckley , and Marvel Comics Editor - In - Chief , Axel Alonso , rang the NYSE closing bell in celebration of the theatrical release of Thor . A post-credits scene in the film Iron Man 2 showed Coulson reporting the discovery of a large hammer in the desert . Rick Marshall of MTV News believed it to be the weapon Mjöllnir belonging to Thor , writing , `` It continues the grand tradition of connecting the film to another property in development around the Marvel movie universe . '' In the commentary track of Iron Man 2 ' home media , Iron Man 2 's director , Jon Favreau , stated that `` this is a scene from ( the set of ) Thor `` . Marvel Animation announced a 26 - episode animated series in November 2008 , to air in late 2010 before the release of Marvel Studios ' film . The company released an animated direct - to - video film , Thor : Tales of Asgard , to coincide with the live - action film . A video game titled Thor : God of Thunder based on the film was developed by Sega using the voices and likenesses of actors Chris Hemsworth , Tom Hiddleston and Jaimie Alexander , and was released on May 3 , 2011 . Home media ( edit ) In July 2011 , Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures announced the release of Thor on Blu - ray 3D , Blu - ray Disc and DVD .

The 2 - disc and 3 - disc packs includes a digital copy , the first in a series of Marvel One - Shots , The Consultant , and 7 behind - the - scenes featurettes . Branagh said that the DVD includes at least 20 minutes of deleted scenes . Branagh stated the footage contains `` things like the Asgardian parents , Odin and Frigga , played by the beautiful Rene Russo , there 's some beautiful scenes in there that I think people will enjoy . And certainly Thor and Loki interacting in different ways that just fill in a little bit of a back story , that was part of our rehearsal and research . '' In its first week of release , Thor took the number one spot on Blu - ray / DVD sales chart and topped Home Media Magazine 's rental chart for the week . The film was also collected in a 10 - disc box set titled `` Marvel Cinematic Universe : Phase One -- Avengers Assembled '' which includes all of the Phase One films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . It was released by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on April 2 , 2013 .

The film 's highest grossing markets were the United Kingdom ( $22.5 million ) , Australia ( $20.1 million ) and Mexico ( $19.5 million ) . Critical response ( edit ) The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 77 % approval rating with an average rating of 6.7 / 10 based on 271 reviews . The website 's consensus reads , `` A dazzling blockbuster that tempers its sweeping scope with wit , humor , and human drama , Thor is mighty Marvel entertainment . '' Metacritic assigned a weighted average score of 57 / 100 based on reviews from 40 film critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Richard Kuipers of Variety stated , `` Thor delivers the goods so long as butt is being kicked and family conflict is playing out in celestial dimensions , but is less thrilling during the Norse warrior god 's rather brief banishment on Earth '' . Megan Lehmann of The Hollywood Reporter wrote , `` The hammer - hurling god of thunder kicks off this superhero summer with a bang '' . In the Chicago Sun - Times , Richard Roeper liked the film `` Thanks in large part to a charming , funny and winning performance from Australian actor Chris Hemsworth in the title role , Thor is the most entertaining superhero debut since the original Spider - Man '' . Conversely , Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave it a negative review stating , `` Thor is a failure as a movie , but a success as marketing , an illustration of the ancient carnival tactic of telling the rubes anything to get them into the tent '' . A.O. Scott of The New York Times also disliked the film , calling it `` an example of the programmed triumph of commercial calculation over imagination '' . Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times had mixed feelings , describing the film as `` an aesthetic stand - off between predictable elements and unexpected ones '' . Turan praised the performances of Hemsworth , Hopkins , and Elba , but found the special effects inconsistent and the Earth storyline derivative .
