-5877421559230542552 | General Sherman (tree) | General Sherman ( tree ) - wikipedia General Sherman ( tree ) Jump to : navigation , search A view of the General Sherman , the largest single stem tree in the world Panorama of General Sherman Tree , July 2013 A child standing under the tree . General Sherman is a giant sequoia ( Sequoiadendron giganteum ) tree located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in Tulare County , in the U.S. state of California . By volume , it is the largest known living single stem tree on Earth . While the General Sherman is the largest currently living tree , it is not the largest historically - recorded tree . The Crannell Creek Giant , a coast redwood ( Sequoia sempervirens ) near Trinidad , California , is estimated to have been 15 to 25 % larger than the General Sherman tree by volume . That tree was cut down in the mid-1940s . Another larger coast redwood , near 90,000 cubic feet , the Lindsey Creek tree , was reported in a 1905 Humboldt Times Standard article . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Dimensions 3 See also 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) The General Sherman was named after the American Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman , in 1879 by naturalist James Wolverton , who had served as a lieutenant in the 9th Indiana Cavalry under Sherman . In 1931 , following comparisons with the nearby General Grant tree , General Sherman was identified as the largest tree in the world . One result of this process was that wood volume became widely accepted as the standard for establishing and comparing the size of different trees . In January 2006 the largest branch on the tree ( seen most commonly , in older photos , as an `` L '' or golf - club shape , protruding from about a quarter of the way down the trunk ) broke off . There were no witnesses to the incident , and the branch -- larger than most tree trunks ; diameter over 2 m ( 6.6 ft ) and length over 30 m ( 98 ft ) -- smashed part of the perimeter fence and cratered the pavement of the surrounding walkway . The breakage is not believed to be indicative of any abnormalities in the tree 's health , and may even be a natural defense mechanism against adverse weather conditions . Dimensions ( edit ) Looking upward from the base of the General Sherman located in California 's Sequoia National Park While it is the largest tree known , the General Sherman Tree is neither the tallest known living tree on Earth ( that distinction belongs to the Hyperion tree , a Coast redwood ) , nor is it the widest ( both the largest cypress and largest baobab have a greater diameter ) , nor is it the oldest known living tree on Earth ( that distinction belongs to a Great Basin bristlecone pine ) . With a height of 83.8 meters ( 275 ft ) , a diameter of 7.7 m ( 25 ft ) , an estimated bole volume of 1,487 m ( 52,513 cu ft ) , and an estimated age of 2,300 -- 2,700 years , it is nevertheless among the tallest , widest , and longest - lived of all trees on the planet . Height above base 274.9 ft 83.8 m Circumference at ground 102.6 ft 31.3 m Maximum diameter at base 36.5 ft 11.1 m Diameter 4.5 ft ( 1.4 m ) above height point on ground 25.1 ft 7.7 m Girth Diameter 60 ft ( 18 m ) above base 17.5 ft 5.3 m Diameter 180 ft ( 55 m ) above base 14.0 ft 4.3 m Diameter of largest branch 6.8 ft 2.1 m Height of first large branch above the base 130.0 ft 39.6 m Average crown spread 106.5 ft 32.5 m Estimated bole volume 52,508 cu ft 1,487 m Estimated mass ( wet ) ( 1938 ) 2,105 short tons 1,910 t Estimated bole mass ( 1938 ) 2,472,000 lb 1,121 t See also ( edit ) List of largest giant sequoias List of superlative trees List of trees National Register of Big Trees References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` The General Sherman Tree '' .

He is one of only two players to win five Super Bowls ( the other being defensive player Charles Haley ) and the only player to win them all playing for one team . After playing college football for the University of Michigan , Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft . Due to his late draft selection , Brady is considered to be the biggest `` steal '' in the history of the NFL Draft . In Brady 's 16 seasons as a starter , he has quarterbacked the Patriots to eight Super Bowl appearances , the most for any player in history . Brady has been honored with four Super Bowl MVP awards ( Super Bowl XXXVI , XXXVIII , XLIX , and LI ) , the most ever by a single player , has won three league MVP awards ( 2007 , 2010 , 2017 ) , has been selected to 13 Pro Bowls , and has led his team to more division titles ( 15 ) than any other quarterback in NFL history . As of the end of the 2017 regular season , Brady is fourth all - time in total career passing yards , tied for third ( with Drew Brees ) in career touchdown passes , and third in career passer rating . His career postseason record is 27 -- 10 , winning more playoff games than any other quarterback , and he has appeared in more playoff games than any player at any position . Brady has never had a losing season as a starting quarterback in the NFL . His combined regular - season and postseason wins are also the most of any quarterback in NFL history . Because of his accomplishments and accolades , many analysts and sportswriters consider Brady to be among the greatest quarterbacks of all time . For his alleged involvement in the highly publicized Deflategate football tampering scandal , Brady was suspended for the first four games of the 2016 NFL season . Subsequently , Brady went on to win Super Bowl LI and was awarded Super Bowl MVP that season .

He was raised Catholic . His father is of Irish descent , while his mother has German , Norwegian , Polish and Swedish ancestry . Brady 's great - great - grandparents on his father 's side , John and Bridget Brady , were Irish refugees from the Great Famine who moved to San Francisco from Boston prior to the American Civil War . They were accompanied by Bridget 's sister Ann and her husband Lawrence Meegan , the parents of the 19th Century American Major League Baseball player `` Steady '' Pete Meegan . Brady 's great uncle , Michael Buckley Jr. was , also , the first American prisoner of war during World War II . In the 1980s , Brady regularly attended San Francisco 49ers games at Candlestick Park , where he was a fan of quarterback Joe Montana ; since then , Brady has mentioned Montana as his idol and one of his inspirations . At the age of four , Brady attended the 1981 NFC Championship against the Dallas Cowboys , in which Montana threw The Catch to Dwight Clark . As a child , Brady attended football camp at the College of San Mateo where he learned to throw the football from camp counselor and future NFL / AFL quarterback Tony Graziani . He grew up as a Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics fan . Brady attended Junípero Serra High School in San Mateo , where he graduated in 1995 ; the ceremony was held at St. Mary 's Cathedral . He played football , basketball , and baseball in high school . He played against Bellarmine College Preparatory rival Pat Burrell in both football and baseball . Brady 's football career started as the backup quarterback on the Padres junior varsity team . At first , Brady was not good enough to start on the 0 -- 8 JV team that had not scored a touchdown all year . However , when the starting quarterback went down with an injury , he ascended to the starting position . He became the varsity starter his junior year and held the position until he graduated . By Brady 's senior year , he struggled getting on the radar of college coaches . He created highlight tapes and sent them out to schools he would consider attending . This led to strong interest from many football programs around the nation . The process of recruiting was much different during Brady 's time , and athletes ' rankings were not as prominent . In terms of recruiting in the 2000s , Brady would have been considered a four - star recruit . In essence , he was a highly rated prospect . Brady was also on Blue Chip Illustrated as well as a Prep Football Report All - American selection . Following his recruiting process he narrowed down his list to five main schools . `` Probably the ones that we did hear from and ultimately pared the list to were Cal - Berkeley , UCLA , USC , Michigan , and Illinois , '' his father said . As a Cal fan , his father hoped that Brady would attend the nearby Cal , where Brady was a silent commit , and be able to watch his son play . Brady was also known as a great baseball player in high school . He was a left - handed - hitting catcher with power . His skill set impressed MLB scouts , and he was drafted in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft by the Montreal Expos . The Expos projected Brady as a potential All - Star , and offered him money typical of a late second - round or early third - round pick . Nevertheless , Brady was determined to play football at the next level . He was always more passionate about football , and when he found that there was significant interest in him , he decided to take the road of football . Brady was recruited by Michigan assistant Bill Harris , and he signed to play for the University of Michigan in 1995 . He finished his high school football career completing 236 of 447 passes for 3,702 yards and 31 touchdowns . He also won All - State and All - Far West honors as well as the team 's Most Valuable Player Award . During the summers of 1998 and 1999 , Brady was an intern at Merrill Lynch . He was inducted into the Junipero Serra High School Hall of Fame in 2003 , joining fellow Serra High graduates Barry Bonds , Lynn Swann , Gregg Jefferies , Jim Fregosi , and his older sister Maureen , among many others . When Brady revisited two weeks after Super Bowl XLVI in 2012 , school administrators announced that they had named the football stadium Brady Family Stadium . College career Brady played college football for the University of Michigan from 1995 to 1999 . He was a backup quarterback for his first two years , while teammate and future NFL quarterback Brian Griese led the 1997 Wolverines to an undefeated season , which was capped by a victory in the Rose Bowl and a share of the national championship . When he enrolled at Michigan , Brady was seventh on the depth chart , and he had an intense struggle to get some playing time . At one point , Brady hired a sports psychologist to help him cope with frustration and anxiety , and even considered transferring to California . He worked closely with assistant athletic director Greg Harden , who met with Brady every week to build his confidence and to maximize his performance on the field . Brady told 60 Minutes in 2014 : `` He will always be somebody I rely on for sound advice and mentorship . He has helped me with my own personal struggles in both athletics and in life . Greg really pushed me in a direction that I was n't sure I could go . '' Under Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr , Brady battled for the starting job with Drew Henson and ultimately started every game in the 1998 and 1999 seasons . During his first full year as starter , he set new Michigan records for most pass attempts and completions in a season , for a total of 214 . Brady was All - Big Ten honorable mention both seasons , and was the team captain in his senior year . The Wolverines won 20 of 25 games when he started , and he set a school record for completions in a 31 -- 16 loss against Ohio State in 1998 , a season in which Michigan shared the Big Ten Conference title . Brady capped that season with a 45 -- 31 win over Arkansas in the Citrus Bowl . In the 1999 season , Brady had to once again hold off Henson for the starting job . The two players platooned during the season 's first seven games , with Brady playing the first quarter , Henson the second and Carr then deciding upon a quarterback for the second half . The 1999 Michigan Wolverines started off with a 5 -- 0 record , including a 26 -- 22 win over Notre Dame , and a road win against eventual powerhouse Wisconsin . Against Michigan State , Brady was not chosen to play the second half ; however , he was reinserted into the game with Michigan down by 17 points , and he nearly led Michigan all the way back before losing 34 -- 31 . After a 300 - yard passing game the following week , Carr went exclusively with Brady for the remainder of the season . Brady went on to lead Michigan to multiple 4th - quarter comebacks , including a remarkable 31 -- 27 win against Penn State , and leading them out of a close game against Indiana , 34 -- 31 , heading into the regular season 's final game , winners of three straight , earning him the moniker of `` Comeback Kid '' . Michigan concluded the regular season against Ohio State ; this was a dramatic game with a trip to the Orange Bowl on the line . With five minutes left , tied 17 -- 17 , Brady led Michigan to the winning score . He led Michigan to an overtime win in the Orange Bowl over Alabama , throwing for 369 yards , four touchdowns , leading the team back from a pair of 14 - point deficits in regulation ( 14 -- 0 in the first half , and 28 -- 14 in the second ) . He threw the game - winning score on a bootleg to tight end Shawn Thompson . Michigan won the game when Alabama missed an extra point following its own touchdown . In the two seasons that Brady started at Michigan , he posted a 20 -- 5 record , including his two largest victories at the Citrus Bowl ( 1999 ) and the Orange Bowl ( 2000 ) . Brady finished his career ranking third in Michigan history with 710 attempts and 442 completions , fourth with 5,351 yards and 62.3 completion percentage , and fifth with 35 touchdown passes .

Since Brady became their starting quarterback in 2001 , the Patriots have never had a losing season and have won 14 division titles . The Patriots played in twelve AFC Championship Games from 2001 to 2017 -- including seven in a row from 2011 to 2017 -- and won eight of them . Brady and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick have combined to form the most successful quarterback - head coach tandem in NFL history , winning more regular season games and postseason games than any other such duo as well as appearing in eight Super Bowls . All of these events set new NFL records . In his second season , Brady took over as the starting quarterback after Drew Bledsoe was injured . He led the Patriots to first place in the AFC East and a victory over the favored St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI , winning his first Super Bowl MVP award . Despite the Patriots ' missing the playoffs the following season , Brady would then lead them to back - to - back World Championships in 2003 and 2004 , winning Super Bowl MVP honors again in 2003 . Along the way , the Patriots won an NFL - record 21 consecutive games ( including the playoffs ) between the 2003 and 2004 seasons . The 2005 season was Brady 's first to throw for 4,000 yards and lead the NFL in passing . That postseason , Brady would win his 10th consecutive playoff game , another NFL postseason record . Although Brady and the Patriots continued to win often , they did not return to the Super Bowl until the 2007 season . That year , Brady not only set an NFL record with 50 touchdown passes but he would also lead the Patriots to a 16 -- 0 finish , the first perfect regular - season record since the Miami Dolphins finished 14 - 0 in 1972 . Brady would win his first career NFL MVP Award , winning 49 out of 50 votes . The Associated Press also named him Male Athlete of the Year , the first such award given to an NFL player since Joe Montana won it in 1989 and 1990 . However , the Patriots suffered their first Super Bowl loss with Brady as quarterback , dropping a 17 - 14 decision to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII . Brady missed virtually the entire following season due to a knee injury in the season opener . But he would come back strong in the 2009 season to be named the league 's Comeback Player of the Year . In 2010 , Brady set the NFL record for consecutive passes without an interception ( 358 ) and broke his own record for the highest season touchdown to interception ratio ( among players who have started a full season ) at 9 : 1 , currently the third best TD : INT ratio for a single season by a quarterback . Brady would win his second league MVP award with all 50 votes in his favor . He was the first unanimous NFL MVP since Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor won the award in 1986 . He and Joe Montana are the only players in NFL history to win multiple NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP awards . Brady was also named the top player by his peers in the first NFL Top 100 list , released in 2011 . In the 2011 season , Brady led the Patriots to their first AFC Championship since 2007 and appeared in the Super Bowl for a fifth time ; but the Patriots would lose again to the Giants . Following AFC Championship Game losses in the following seasons ( 2012 and 2013 ) , Brady and the Patriots made their sixth trip to the Super Bowl after the 2014 season ( Brady 's 15th as a professional ) . There , he led the Patriots to a fourth - quarter comeback over the defending champion Seattle Seahawks . He would lift his fourth Super Bowl trophy ( the Patriots ' first in ten seasons ) and was named Super Bowl MVP for the third time . Despite missing the first four games of the 2016 season , Brady would lead the Patriots ( 3 - 1 before he rejoined them ) to win 11 out of the 12 remaining regular season games and two postseason games to make his seventh and most recent Super Bowl appearance . Brady and the Patriots would overcome a 25 - point deficit against the Atlanta Falcons ( down 28 - 3 in the third quarter ) to force the first overtime in Super Bowl history , winning 34 - 28 to give Brady his fifth Super Bowl title . He earned his fourth Super Bowl MVP award after setting title - game records for appearances , pass attempts , completions , passing yards and fourth - quarter comebacks . In 2018 , Brady threw for 505 yards at 40 years old , setting a record for most passing yards in a Super Bowl , but the Patriots lost to the Philadelphia Eagles , denying Brady his sixth Super Bowl ring . Notably , Brady has shaken the hand of the losing quarterback after all five of his wins but has beaten a hasty retreat to the locker room to avoid shaking the hand of his opponent in all three of his losses . Over his career , Brady has won three league MVP awards , five Super Bowls , and four Super Bowl MVP Awards . A 13 - time Pro Bowler , Brady has also twice led the NFL in passing yardage . As of November 2017 , he currently owns the third - highest career passer rating ( 97.9 ) among quarterbacks with at least 1,500 career passing attempts . He has thrown for more passing yards and touchdowns than any quarterback in NFL postseason history ; he also has won more playoff games than any other quarterback . As a result of his highly successful career , Brady is rated among the greatest quarterbacks of all time . 2000 season Brady was selected with pick # 199 , a compensatory pick , in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft . He and his family had believed that Brady would be drafted in the second or third round ; they watched the draft on television , stunned as six other quarterbacks were drafted before him . Brady was so embarrassed that he briefly left the family home during the sixth round , and cried when recalling the experience for an interview 11 years later . When the Patriots notified him that he would be drafted Brady was grateful that , he later said , he would not `` have to be an insurance salesman '' . According to Michael Holley 's book Patriot Reign , the Patriots were considering Brady and Tim Rattay , both of whom had received positive reviews from then - quarterbacks coach Dick Rehbein . Ultimately , the Patriots front office chose Brady . Considering his subsequent success , many analysts have called Brady the best NFL draft pick of all time . Brady started the season as the fourth string quarterback , behind starter Drew Bledsoe and backups John Friesz and Michael Bishop ; by season 's end , he was number two on the depth chart behind Bledsoe . During his rookie season , he was 1 - of - 3 passing , for six yards . Tight end Rod Rutledge caught Brady 's first and only completed pass of the season in a 34 -- 9 loss to the Detroit Lions on November 23 . 2001 season With Bledsoe as the starting quarterback , the Patriots opened the season with a 23 -- 17 loss at Cincinnati . In their second game and home opener on September 23 , the Patriots squared off against their AFC East rivals , the New York Jets . Bledsoe was again the starter ; in the fourth quarter , he suffered internal bleeding after a hit from Jets linebacker Mo Lewis . Bledsoe returned for the next series , but was replaced with Brady for the Patriots ' final series of the game . New York would hold on to win , 10 -- 3 , and the Patriots fell to 0 -- 2 on the season . Brady was named the starter for the season 's third game , against the Indianapolis Colts . In his first two games as starter , Brady posted unspectacular passer ratings of 79.6 and 58.7 , respectively , in a 44 -- 13 victory over the Colts ( in their last season in the AFC East ) and a 30 -- 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins . In the Patriots ' fifth game , Brady began to find his stride . Trailing the visiting San Diego Chargers 26 -- 16 in the fourth quarter , he led the Patriots on two scoring drives to force overtime , and another in overtime to set up a winning field goal . Brady finished the game with 33 pass completions on 54 attempts , for 364 yards , and two touchdowns and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career . The following week , Brady again played well during the rematch at Indianapolis , with a passer rating of 148.3 in a 38 -- 17 win . The Patriots went on to win eleven of the fourteen games Brady started , and six straight to finish the regular season , winning the AFC East and entering the 2001 -- 02 NFL playoffs with a first - round bye . In that stretch was a Week 11 34 -- 17 victory over the New Orleans Saints where he was 19 of 26 for 258 passing yards and four touchdowns to earn his second AFC Offensive Player of the Week nod in 2001 . Brady finished the 2001 season with 2,843 passing yards and 18 touchdowns and earned an invitation to the 2002 Pro Bowl . 2001 postseason In Brady 's first playoff game , he threw for 312 yards against the Oakland Raiders and led the Patriots back from a ten - point fourth - quarter deficit to send the game to overtime , where they won on an Adam Vinatieri field goal . A controversial play occurred in that game . Trailing by three points in the fourth quarter , Brady lost control of the ball after being hit by Raiders ' cornerback Charles Woodson . Oakland initially recovered the ball , but , citing the `` tuck rule , '' which states that any forward throwing motion by a quarterback begins a pass even if the quarterback loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body , referee Walt Coleman overturned the call on instant replay , ruling it an incomplete pass rather than a fumble . In the AFC Championship Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers , Brady injured his knee , and was relieved by Bledsoe . The Patriots won the game by a score of 24 -- 17 and were immediately instituted by Las Vegas oddsmakers as 14 - point underdogs against the NFC champion St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI . Brady returned from his knee injury in the AFC Championship Game to start in Super Bowl XXXVI a week later in New Orleans . Despite being heavy underdogs , the Patriots played well , holding the Rams ' high powered offense in check through the first three quarters . The Rams rallied from a 17 -- 3 deficit to tie the game with 1 : 30 left in regulation . The Patriots then got the ball back at their own 17 - yard line with no timeouts remaining . Sportscaster and former Super Bowl - winning coach John Madden said he thought the Patriots should run out the clock and try to win the game in overtime . Instead , Brady drove the Patriots ' offense down the field to the Rams ' 31 - yard line before spiking the ball with seven seconds left . Then kicker Adam Vinatieri converted a 48 - yard field goal as time expired to give the Patriots a 20 -- 17 win and their first ever league championship . Brady was named MVP of Super Bowl XXXVI while throwing for 145 yards , one touchdown , and no interceptions . At the age of 24 years and six months , Brady surpassed Joe Namath in Super Bowl III and Joe Montana in Super Bowl XVI , who were both 25 years , seven months , and 13 days old at the time of their victories , to earn the title of youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl . A possible quarterback controversy was averted when Bledsoe was traded to the Buffalo Bills during the offseason ; this event cemented Brady 's status as the starting quarterback . 2002 season In the 2002 season opener , Brady had 294 passing yards and three touchdowns in the 30 -- 14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers to earn his third AFC Offensive of the Week title . In Week 9 , in a 38 -- 7 victory over the Buffalo Bills , he had 265 passing yards and three touchdowns to earn another AFC Offensive Player of the Week nod . Brady and the Patriots finished the year at 9 -- 7 , tied with the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins for the best record in the division ; however , the Jets won the division on the third tiebreaker , and the Patriots missed the playoffs . Though Brady posted a career - low single - season passer rating of 85.7 and a career - high of 14 interceptions , he threw for a league - leading 28 touchdown passes and 921 more yards than in the 2001 season . However , Brady played much of the second half of the season with a shoulder injury , and New England head coach Bill Belichick later indicated that Brady would not have been able to play in their first playoff game if the Patriots had made the playoffs . 2003 season After opening the 2003 NFL season with a 2 -- 2 start , Brady led the Patriots to twelve consecutive victories to finish the regular season in winning the AFC East . In Week 9 , against the Denver Broncos , he had 350 passing yards , three touchdowns , and one interception in the 30 -- 26 victory to earn his fifth AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor . Statistically , Brady 's strongest game of the season was in Week 17 against the division rival Buffalo Bills , when he achieved a season - high quarterback rating of 122.9 , and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week . Brady finished with 3,620 passing yards and 23 touchdowns , and was third in NFL MVP voting to co-winners Peyton Manning and Steve McNair . 2003 postseason In the first two rounds of the playoffs , the Patriots defeated the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts . On February 1 , 2004 , Brady led the Patriots to a 32 -- 29 victory over the NFC champion Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII and was named Super Bowl MVP for the second time . During the game , Brady threw for 354 yards with three touchdowns and set the record for most completions by a quarterback in a Super Bowl with 32 . With 1 : 08 left in the fourth quarter and the score tied 29 -- 29 , Brady engineered a drive to put the Patriots in position for the game - winning 41 - yard field goal by Vinatieri . 2004 season Brady during Super Bowl XXXIX During the 2004 season , Brady helped the Patriots set an NFL record with 21 straight wins dating from the previous year , an accomplishment honored in the Pro Football Hall of Fame ( though for official records , the NFL considers it an 18 - game regular season winning streak ; it does not count playoff games ) . New England finished with a 14 -- 2 record , equaling their 2003 record and the best regular - season record ever for a defending champion . The Patriots also won the AFC East divisional title for the third time in four years . Brady threw for 3,692 yards and 28 touchdowns , with a 92.6 passer rating , and was voted to his second Pro Bowl . 2004 postseason In the AFC playoffs , Brady led the Patriots to victories over the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers . Brady played his best game of the year in Pittsburgh despite requiring intravenous treatment the previous night when he ran a temperature of 103 ° . Against the NFL 's best defense , he recorded a quarterback passer rating of 130.5 , his highest of the season . On February 6 , 2005 , the Patriots narrowly defeated the Philadelphia Eagles , 24 -- 21 , to win Super Bowl XXXIX . Brady threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns while capturing the Patriots ' third championship in four years . 2005 season During the 2005 season , injuries suffered by running backs Corey Dillon , Patrick Pass , and Kevin Faulk forced the Patriots to rely more on Brady 's passing . Brady also had to adjust to new center Russ Hochstein and running back Heath Evans . On October 9 , in a 31 -- 28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons , he had 350 passing yards , three touchdowns , and one interception to earn AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors . Brady finished first in the league with 4,110 passing yards and third in the league with 26 touchdowns . At 92.3 , his 2005 passer rating was the second - highest of his career at the time , although he equaled his career high for interceptions with 14 . He rushed for 89 yards and fumbled a career - low four times . He and the Patriots finished with a 10 -- 6 record , winning their third straight AFC East title . He was named to his third Pro Bowl at the end of the season . 2005 postseason In the playoffs , Brady led the Patriots to a 28 -- 3 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card Round ; however , on January 14 , 2006 , the Patriots lost 27 -- 13 to the Denver Broncos at INVESCO Field . Brady threw for 341 yards in the game with one touchdown and two interceptions , in the first playoff loss of his career after ten playoff victories . After the season 's end , it was revealed that Brady had been playing with a sports hernia since December . Linebacker Willie McGinest commented on it and said he knew , but Brady continued playing . Brady on the sideline at Giants Stadium with teammates Randy Moss and Jabar Gaffney , after throwing for his record - breaking 50th passing touchdown of the 2007 season 2006 season Brady led the Patriots to a 12 -- 4 record and the fourth seed in the AFC playoffs . In the regular season , Brady threw for 3,529 yards and 24 touchdowns . He was not among the players initially selected to the Pro Bowl , although he was offered an injury - replacement selection when San Diego Chargers Philip Rivers was forced to withdraw ( which he declined ) . 2006 postseason In the postseason , the Patriots first hosted their division rivals , the New York Jets , in the Wild Card Round . The Patriots defeated the Jets 37 -- 16 , as Brady went 22 -- 34 for 212 yards and two touchdowns . In the Divisional Round , the Patriots traveled to San Diego to take on the Chargers . This was Brady 's first playoff game in his home state of California . Brady and the Patriots struggled against the Chargers , whom many had picked as favorites to win Super Bowl XLI . With eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and the Patriots down by eight points , Brady and the Patriots started a key drive that would ultimately decide the game . After a 49 - yard pass play to wide receiver Reche Caldwell , a Stephen Gostkowski field goal gave the Patriots a 24 -- 21 win . In the AFC Championship , the Patriots faced the Indianapolis Colts . The Patriots and Colts had faced each other twice in the previous three postseasons at Foxborough ; this game , however , was played at Indianapolis . The Patriots led at halftime , 21 -- 6 ; however , the Colts and Peyton Manning staged a comeback , culminating in a last minute interception thrown by Brady , and the Patriots lost the game to the Colts , 34 -- 38 . 2007 season Playing with a dramatically overhauled receiver corps -- in the 2007 offseason , the Patriots acquired wide receivers Donté Stallworth , Wes Welker , Kelley Washington , and Randy Moss ; tight end Kyle Brady ; and running back Sammy Morris -- Brady enjoyed what some sportswriters described as one of the best seasons by a quarterback . The average score of a 2007 Patriots regular - season game would be 37 -- 17 by the end of the year . Brady led the Patriots to the first 16 -- 0 regular - season record in league history , outscoring opponents by more than a 2 - to - 1 margin , but also attained numerous career , franchise , and NFL records and milestones in the process . He was named as the AFC Offensive Player of the Week five separate times that year . While away at Dallas , he had a career - high five passing touchdowns in a 48 -- 27 win . The win tied him with Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach for the most wins ever by a starting quarterback in his first 100 regular - season games , with 76 . The next week , in part of a 49 -- 28 win at Miami , he had yet another record day , with six passing touchdowns , setting a franchise record . He also had the first perfect passer rating of his career . Two weeks later , as part of a come - from - behind 24 -- 20 victory at Indianapolis , he threw for another three touchdowns , the ninth consecutive game in which he had done so , breaking Peyton Manning 's NFL record of eight . During the last game of the year , Brady threw two touchdown passes ; his second touchdown was his 50th , breaking Peyton Manning 's 2004 record of 49 . Brady in December 2007 Brady finished the season with 4,806 passing yards , 50 touchdown passes , and only eight interceptions . It was unanimously voted the greatest passing season of all time by ESPN in 2013 . His 50 : 8 touchdown to interception ratio was , at the time , an NFL record . He became the first quarterback to pass for 50 touchdowns in a season and his 117.2 passer rating is the fourth highest in a single season . His 8.7 % touchdown passing percentage is the third highest ever in a season . He led the Patriots to becoming the first team to ever go undefeated in the regular season since the 16 game schedule was enforced and directed an offense that scored a then NFL record 589 points and 75 total touchdowns . Those records stood until they were eclipsed by the 2013 Denver Broncos . The team 's 50 total touchdown passes is the fourth most ever in a season .

Nevertheless , the Patriots won their 18th game of the season , 21 -- 12 , to advance to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in seven seasons .

The injury ended Brady 's streak of 111 consecutive starts ( seventh in the list of most consecutive starts by an NFL quarterback , behind Brett Favre , Peyton Manning , Ron Jaworski , and Joe Flacco ) . Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at the Los Angeles Kerlan - Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic October 6 , using Brady 's patellar tendon graft to replace the torn ligament , and also repaired his medial collateral ligament , through a separate incision in his left knee . An infection in the wound resulted in further debridement surgery several times since the original procedure . Brady received IV antibiotics for this infection which , at the time , threatened to delay his rehab . Despite Brady 's absence , the Patriots managed to finish the 2008 season with an 11 -- 5 record ; however , due to tiebreakers , the Patriots not only failed to win the AFC East division title , but missed the playoffs altogether for the first time since the 2002 season . 2009 season Brady in Landover , Maryland , on August 28 , 2009 , during warmups in a preseason game against the Washington Redskins .

The report concluded that , more likely than not , Brady was at least generally aware of the intentional deflation . On May 11 , Brady was suspended for four games by the NFL for his involvement based on `` substantial and credible evidence '' that Brady knew Patriots employees were deflating footballs and that he failed to cooperate with the investigators . On May 11 , Troy Vincent -- NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations -- penned a letter to Brady that stated in part : `` Your actions as set forth in the report clearly constitute conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the game of professional football . '' Vincent 's letter further stated : `` With respect to your particular involvement , the report established that there is substantial and credible evidence to conclude you were at least generally aware of the actions of the Patriots ' employees involved in the deflation of the footballs and that it was unlikely that their actions were done without your knowledge . Moreover , the report documents your failure to cooperate fully and candidly with the investigation , including by refusing to produce any relevant electronic evidence ( emails , texts , etc . ) , despite being offered extraordinary safeguards by the investigators to protect unrelated personal information , and by providing testimony that the report concludes was not plausible and contradicted by other evidence . '' Brady , through the NFL Players Association , officially appealed the suspension on May 14 . On July 28 , NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the upholding of Brady 's four game suspension . Brady gave permission to the NFLPA to appeal the suspension in federal court . Goodell cited Brady 's destruction of his cell phone as a critical factor in his decision to uphold Brady 's suspension . The NFL also filed papers in federal court seeking to confirm Roger Goodell 's decision . On July 29 Brady released a statement on his Facebook page that criticized Goodell 's decision to uphold the suspension , saying in part `` I am very disappointed by the NFL 's decision to uphold the 4 game suspension against me . I did nothing wrong , and no one in the Patriots organization did either ... I will not allow my unfair discipline to become a precedent for other NFL players without a fight . '' Brady in 2015 Commentary on the initial punishment was mixed . Bleacher Report writer Mike Freeman made a statement agreeing with Goodell 's decision , saying the penalties were `` brutal , but it deserved to be . '' Various commentators also implied that the prior reputation of the Patriots organization as a team that bends rules appeared to factor into the harshness of the punishment . Others described the punishment as `` firm but fair '' . On September 3 , 2015 , Judge Richard M. Berman of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York vacated Brady 's suspension ; this ruling allowed Brady to play in the first four games of the 2015 NFL season . In his decision , Judge Berman cited the NFL 's failure to provide proper notice to Brady of the charges against him and the potential for a suspension . Post-appeal commentary also criticized Goodell for `` manipulating Brady 's testimony '' at the appeal hearing in his decision . 2015 regular season In the NFL Kickoff Game , Brady led the Patriots to a 28 -- 21 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers .

The Patriots then lost three of their remaining five games to finish 12 -- 4 for a fourth straight season , tied with the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos for the AFC 's best record . Denver clinched the No. 1 seed due to their victories over both the Patriots and the Bengals , while the Patriots finished with the AFC 's No. 2 seed due to having a better record against common opponents than Cincinnati .

At the March 3 , 2016 , hearing in New York City , the three - judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit questioned Players Association lawyer Jeffrey L. Kessler more intensely than NFL lawyer Paul Clement , with Circuit Judge Denny Chin even stating that `` the evidence of ball tampering is compelling , if not overwhelming . '' On April 25 , 2016 , Judge Richard M. Berman 's decision to block Brady 's four - game suspension was overturned by the U.S. Appeals Court . Circuit Judge Barrington Daniels Parker Jr. , joined by Circuit Judge Chin , wrote that they could not `` second - guess '' the arbitration but were merely determining it `` met the minimum legal standards established by the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 '' . Circuit Chief Judge Robert Katzmann dissented , writing that the NFL 's fines for using stickum was `` highly analogous '' and that here `` the Commissioner was doling out his own brand of industrial justice . '' On May 23 , 2016 , Brady appealed for his case to be reheard by the full U.S. 2nd Circuit Court . The 2nd Circuit Court denied Brady 's request for an en banc hearing on July 13 .

"A lightly regarded prospect coming out of college,[59][60] Brady was selected by the New England Patriots with the 199th overall pick in the sixth round of 2000 NFL Draft and has since spent his entire 18-season career with the Patriots. Since Brady became their starting quarterback in 2001, the Patriots have never had a losing season and have won 14 division titles. The Patriots played in twelve AFC Championship Games from 2001 to 2017—including seven in a row from 2011 to 2017—and won eight of them. Brady and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick have combined to form the most successful quarterback-head coach tandem in NFL history, winning more regular season games and postseason games than any other such duo[61] as well as appearing in eight Super Bowls. All of these events set new NFL records.[62]"

The Honda VTX 1800 was launched in 2001 as a 2002 model . At the time this bike was introduced the Honda VTX engine was the largest displacement production V - twin in the world , but that distinction would be short - lived as the VTX1800 was superseded in 2004 by the 2 - liter Kawasaki Vulcan 2000. , Nevertheless , the VTX 1800 still produced better 0 - 60 mph and 1 / 4 mile times . VTX stands for V - Twin Extreme . A smaller VTX1300 line was introduced for the 2003 model year , which evolved into the VT1300C line starting with the 2010 model year . In addition to the 52 ° V - twin layout , commonalities for the 1800 and 1300 powertrains include : radiator with cooling fan ; cylinder heads with two intake valves and a single , larger , exhaust valve ; rocker arms with screw - and - locknut clearance adjusters ; electronic control unit with 3 - D ignition maps for each cylinder ; two spark plugs per cylinder ; dry sump oil system with the oil tank inside the gearbox case ; shaft final - drive . Contents ( hide ) 1 VTX1800 2 VTX1300 2.1 VT1300C 3 See also 4 Notes 5 References 6 External links VTX1800 ( edit ) Honda VTX1800 motorcycle engine Making amends for years of underperforming V - twins , Honda set out to produce a cruiser with the biggest CID ever and so designed a big bike with a muscular looking body that was long and low to the ground , featuring significant rake and trail . Honda claimed that the 1800 put out 159 N m ( 117 lbf ft ) of torque at only 3000 rpm and 75 kW ( 101 hp ) at 5000 rpm , making the VTX1800 one of the most powerful production V - twin motorcycles of its time . ( See infobox for measured horsepower and torque values . ) On the VTX1800 , Honda updated its linked braking feature , instead of having the usual separate hand and foot brakes , the hand brake operated two - thirds of the front pistons while the foot operated the other third in front and all the rear via a proportioning valve . The induction system was Honda 's programmed Fuel Injection ( PGM - FI ) system using a Manifold Air Pressure ( MAP ) sensor in the small throttle areas until the standard throttle position sensor ( Alpha N ) took over at greater throttle opening values . The VTX1800 also had an emission control system that utilized air injection and catalytic converter controlled by the ECU to reduce hydrocarbons , carbon monoxide , and oxides of nitrogen to levels surpassing emissions standards . The 52 - degree V - twin included an offset - dual - pin crankshaft , a design first used on the 1983 Honda Shadow to produce perfect primary balance , as well as two primary - shaft - mounted counterbalancer weights to reduce the inevitable rocking couple vibration in a large V - twin engine . There were three 2002 models , the initial VTX1800C Classic and then two Retro models , the VTX1800R with cast wheels plus the VTX1800S with spoke wheels ( and tube - type tires ) . When the VTX1800C was introduced in 2001 , it was known as the VTX1800 , or more often simply called the VTX . Honda of Japan announced the immediate importation of the American - manufactured VTX1800 cruiser model for their domestic market . Compared to the Retro models ( and the others that would follow ) the VTX1800 type C was identifiable by its two - into - one exhaust system , and its speedometer mounted within the handlebar risers . All the other models had staggered dual exhausts and a tank - mounted speedometer , as well as a larger radiator . Honda 's sales of the VTX1800 by late 2003 were approaching 30,000 units . A new model was introduced in late 2003 for the 2004 model year ; the VTX1800N took its Neo-Retro style cues from the limited edition Valkrie Rune . Honda added a more performance - oriented VTX1800F model in 2005 , which had low - profile radial tires on cast alloy wheels with a five twin - spoke design , and also incorporated an LCD tachometer and clock into the tank - mounted speedometer . As one of the motorcycles that helped to define the Performance Crusier market , the VTX1800F faced competition from the Yamaha Warrior , Victory Hammer , Kawasaki Mean Streak , and the Harley - Davidson Street Rod . A VTX1800T Tourer model equipped with saddlebags holding 24 liters ( 0.85 cu ft ) each , a windshield and a passenger backrest , was included in the 2007 line - up . 2008 was the final year for Honda 's jumbo twin , available in three models : VTX1800N ; VTX1800S ; and VTX1800T .

It sold quickly , and by the close of 2003 sales totaled almost 12,000 units . In contrast to the VTX1800 line , VTX1300 bikes used standard unlinked brakes , with a single large front disk , 336mm in diameter . The rear brake was a 296mm disc . Although it was similar to the 1800 , the 1300 was not the same engine with a smaller bore or shorter stroke , but a new design . The 1300 engine used a 38 mm constant velocity carburetor unlike the fuel injected 1800 . The single carb had a manual choke for cold starts , and was heated by engine coolant to improve cold - weather operation . The configuration of the new powerplant was the same liquid - cooled overhead - cam 52 - degree V - twin layout as its larger sibling , but the VTX1300 engine was designed around a single - pin crankshaft , unlike the 1800s dual - pin crank . As a result , the 1300 required dual two - axis primary counterbalancers to control engine vibration . The VTX1300 engine had a cable - operated clutch , instead of the hydraulic clutch of the VTX1800 . The 1300 engine used an air injection system and catalytic converters , similar to the bigger engine , as well as a lean fuel - air mixture to control emissions . The VTX1300 line employed the same two - into - two exhaust system across the board , as opposed to the model specific two - into - one system of the VTX1800C . In a road test on the Motorcycle USA website , editor Ken Hutchison observed that the VTX1300C had an `` extra-muffled exhaust note that may be politically correct but it really detracts from the Big Twin experience potential buyers might be looking for . '' Nevertheless , Motorcyclist magazine 's Art Friedman opined that the VTX1300 `` sound is classic V - twin '' , and that the bike had more responsive handling as well as a smoother drivetrain than its 1800cc lookalike . VTX1300 bikes came with the least possible instrumentation , one large analog speedometer ( with a digital odometer ) in a nacelle on top of the fuel tank , unaccompanied by so much as a clock or fuel gauge . The 2004 VTX1300S was joined by the lighter and shorter VTX1300C Custom with cast - alloy wheels , a drag - style handlebar , and without the floorboards and heel - and - toe shifter of the S model . The new C model also sold in large numbers in its first year , upwards of 11,000 units . 2005 saw the VTX1300 family grow to three models with the introduction of VTX1300R Retro , which combined traditional cruiser styling with cast - alloy wheels ( and tubeless tires ) in place of the wire wheels used on the otherwise identical VTX1300S . The R - model also did well on the showroom floor , with first - year sales over 8000 units . Honda continued on with those three models , type C , S and R , changing only the paintwork in 2006 and 2007 . Honda dropped the spoked - wheel VTX1300S in 2008 , but maintained lineup at three models by adding the VTX1300T Tourer variant ( with cast wheels ) . The Tourer was basically a type R bike equipped at the factory with what had been the three accessories most often added by Honda dealers ; saddlebags holding 24 litres ( 0.85 cu ft ) each , a windshield and a passenger backrest . In a Los Angeles Times road test , Susan Carpenter described the VTX1300T as a `` Midwesterner 's motorcycle '' , noting that many sales of the VTX1300 line were made in `` corn country . '' For 2008 , the two - into - two exhaust system was redesigned to be more compact . 2009 was the final year for the VTX1300 , available as type C , R and T models in new colors , but otherwise identical to the previous year . Competitive models included the Yamaha DragStar 1100 ( aka V Star 1100 ) and V Star 1300 , the Suzuki Boulevard S83 , the Harley - Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom , the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic and Vulcan 1500 Classic . Total sales for all types of VTX1300 cruisers amounted to 82,900 for all model years .

In January 2009 Honda introduced the Fury VT1300CX at the New York International Motorcycle Show . The Sabre VT1300CS and Stateline VT1300CR were introduced at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show , and the Interstate VT1300CT debuted at the Toronto Motorcycle Show in December of that year . The new VT1300C bikes used updated versions of the VTX1300 powertrain and brakes ; but with unusual frame geometry , new suspension components and bodywork designed collaboratively by Honda R&D Americas ( HRA ) and Honda 's Asaka R&D Center ( HGA ) in Japan . The carburetor that had been used on the VTX1300 engines was replaced with fuel injection ( PGM - FI ) for the VT1300C , and the new engines also received new cam profiles and a redesigned exhaust system . Exhaust emission controls included secondary air injection , the PGM - FI system and two catalytic converters . The Fury 's design went beyond the domain of traditional Honda cruisers and onto full - out chopper turf , having austere bodywork on a faux - hardtail frame with a high - mounted steering head and long fork tubes that made the rake angle conspicuous at 38 degrees , The caster angle being 32 degrees with 6 degrees added into the steering yokes , A wide rear tire was paired with a narrow front wheel , and the two were spanned by the longest wheelbase for any Honda production motorcycle . Honda also offered an extra-cost version of the Fury with CBS and ABS . There were only cosmetic changes to the VT1300CX ( aka VT13CX ) model in years 2011 through 2013 , and the Fury remains in the Honda lineup for 2014 . While the Fury name was not used in all markets , Honda sold the VT1300CX internationally , including Australia , New Zealand , India , South Africa , the UK and Northern Ireland , as well as the UAE and the GCC states . Motorcycle Cruiser magazine named the Honda Fury as their `` 2010 Cruiser of the Year . '' In 2011 , the Visordown website included the Fury in their list of `` Top 7 cruisers with huge engines '' , despite the fact that the Honda 's engine was the smallest of the lot . Beyond the chopper - style Fury , the VT1300C line offered three conventional cruiser models for 2010 , all of which remain in the lineup for 2014 : Sabre , Interstate and Stateline . Honda previously used both the Interstate and Sabre names for other models , the most recent being the VT1100C2 Shadow Sabre . In contrast to the Fury , the 2010 Sabre emphasized function over form with a less extreme seating position , narrower handlebar and lower steering head , making the VT1300CS ( aka VT13CS ) a fairly typical cruiser design , competing with other mid-size cruisers such as the Star Styker . Front forks on the Sabre were shorter as a consequence of the lower steering head , and so they did not need the large - diameter tubes used on the Fury . The Sabre had slightly more travel in its rear mono - shock and a steel swingarm rather than aluminum , plus a larger fuel tank that incorporated an instrument panel . The VT1300CS wheelbase was about an inch shorter that the Fury 's ( but 4.5 inches longer than the old VTX1300C ) . Of the three 2010 cruisers , The VT1300CR Stateline was the entry - level bike , by virtue of its lower price . It was also a more touring oriented bike , thanks to its wider seat , pull - back handlebars and larger , more valanced fenders . The Stateline used the same suspension and fuel tank as the Sabre . The VT1300CT Interstate used the same bodywork and running gear as the Stateline , but with additional amenities for touring , such as a windshield , saddlebags , floorboards for the rider and covers for the fork tubes . ABS was not available on the 2010 Interstate , the only model in the VT1300C line to not offer that option , however , Honda included the ABS option starting with the 2012 model year . The VT1300CT Interstate 's competitors were other mid-size Baggers , such as the Yamaha V Star 1300 tourer and Suzuki Boulevard C90T touring cruiser .

With the smaller VTX , Honda has created a bike that provides answers to the questions the VTX1800 left unanswered . For starters , the 1300 is nearly 2 inches shorter and a significant 60 lbs. lighter than the 1800 . This reduction is both size and weight has an immediate improvement in the handling characteristics versus the bigger bike . From the moment the 1300 is lifted off its kickstand the difference is noticeable . The bike does n't feel a lot lighter but it definitely feels smaller , and once the machine is moving it feels less intimidating as well .

"Making amends for years of underperforming V-twins, Honda set out to produce a cruiser with the biggest CID ever and so designed a big bike with a muscular looking body that was long and low to the ground, featuring significant rake and trail.[12] Honda claimed that the 1800 put out 159 N·m (117 lbf·ft) of torque at only 3000 rpm and 75 kW (101 hp) at 5000 rpm, making the VTX1800 one of the most powerful production V-twin motorcycles of its time.[2][4] (See infobox for measured horsepower and torque values.)"

'' The Leaves ' third release of `` Hey Joe '' Single by The Leaves B - side `` Be With You '' ( 1st pressing ) `` Girl From The East '' ( 2nd pressing ) `` Funny Little World '' ( 3rd pressing ) Released November 1965 ( 1965 - 11 ) April 1966 ( 1966 - 04 ) Format 7 - inch 45 rpm Genre Hard rock garage rock psychedelic rock Length 2 : 40 Label Mira 207 ( 1965 ) Mira 222 ( 1966 ) Composer ( s ) Billy Roberts Lyricist ( s ) Billy Roberts Producer ( s ) Norm Ratner The Leaves singles chronology `` Love Minus Zero '' ( 1965 ) `` Hey Joe , Where You Gonna Go ? '' ( 1965 ) `` You Better Move On '' ( 1965 ) `` Hey Joe '' is an American popular song from the 1960s that has become a rock standard and has been performed in many musical styles by hundreds of different artists . `` Hey Joe '' tells the story of a man who is on the run and planning to head to Mexico after shooting his unfaithful wife . The song was registered for copyright in the United States in 1962 by Billy Roberts . However , diverse credits and claims have led to confusion about the song 's authorship . The earliest known commercial recording of the song is the late - 1965 single by the Los Angeles garage band the Leaves ; the band then re-recorded the track and released it in 1966 as a follow - up single which became a hit . The best - known version is the Jimi Hendrix Experience 's 1966 recording . The song title is sometimes given as `` Hey Joe , Where You Gonna Go ? '' or similar variations . Contents 1 Authorship 2 Early recordings ( 1965 -- 1966 ) 3 Tim Rose and Jimi Hendrix ( 1966 ) 4 Later recordings ( 1967 -- present ) 5 Johnny Hallyday version ( in French ) 5.1 Track listings 5.2 Charts 6 Selected list of recorded versions 7 References 8 Sources 9 External links Authorship ( edit ) While claimed by singer Tim Rose to be a traditional song , or often erroneously attributed to the pen of American musician Dino Valenti ( who also went by the names Chester or Chet Powers , and Jesse Farrow ) , `` Hey Joe '' was registered for copyright in the U.S. in 1962 by Billy Roberts . Scottish folk singer Len Partridge has claimed that he helped write the song with Roberts when they both performed in clubs in Edinburgh in 1956 . Other sources ( including singer Pat Craig ) claim that Roberts assigned the rights to the song to his friend Valenti while Valenti was in jail , in order to give him some income upon release . Roberts was a relatively obscure California - based folk singer , guitarist , and harmonica player who performed on the West Coast coffeehouse circuit . He recorded the country rock album Thoughts of California with the band Grits in San Francisco in 1975 , produced by Hillel Resner . Roberts may have drawn inspiration for `` Hey Joe '' from three earlier works : his girlfriend Niela Miller 's 1955 song `` Baby , Please Do n't Go To Town '' ( which uses a similar chord progression based on the circle of fifths ) ; Carl Smith 's 1953 US country hit `` Hey Joe ! '' ( written by Boudleaux Bryant ) , which shared the title and the `` questioning '' format ; and the early 20th century traditional ballad `` Little Sadie '' , which tells of a man on the run after he has shot his wife . The lyrics to `` Little Sadie '' often locate the events in Thomasville , North Carolina , and `` down in '' Jericho , South Carolina ( a large rice plantation in the lowlands ) Roberts was himself born in South Carolina . Variations of `` Little Sadie '' have been recorded under various titles ( including `` Bad Lee Brown '' , `` Penitentiary Blues '' , `` Cocaine Blues '' , `` Whiskey Blues '' ) by many artists , including Clarence Ashley ( 1930 ) , Johnny Cash ( 1960 and 1968 ) , Slim Dusty ( 1961 ) , and Bob Dylan ( 1970 ) . Some versions change the southbound location from Jericho ( South Carolina ) to Mexico . No documentary evidence has been provided to support the claim , by Tim Rose and others , that `` Hey Joe '' is a wholly traditional work . ( See also the article `` Morning Dew '' regarding Rose and song copyrights . ) Rights to the song were administered from 1966 into the 2000s by the music publisher Third Story Music ( now Third Palm Music ) ; there the author is listed as Billy Roberts . Early recordings ( 1965 -- 1966 ) ( edit ) `` Hey Joe ( Where You Gonna Go ) '' Song by The Byrds from the album Fifth Dimension Released July 18 , 1966 ( 1966 - 07 - 18 ) Format LP record Recorded May 16 -- 19 , 1966 Studio Columbia , Hollywood , California Genre Garage rock Length 2 : 08 Label Columbia ( no . CS 9349 ) Producer ( s ) Allen Stanton Roberts ' song gained fans in the Los Angeles music scene of the mid-1960s , which led to fast - paced recordings in 1965 and 1966 by the Leaves , the Standells , the Surfaris , Love , the Music Machine , and the Byrds , swiftly making the song a garage rock classic . Both Dino Valenti and the Byrds ' David Crosby have been reported as helping to popularize the song before it was recorded by the Leaves in December 1965 . The Leaves , who had been introduced to the song while attending live concerts by the Byrds ( who had yet to record their own version of the song ) at Ciro 's on Sunset Boulevard , recorded and released three versions of `` Hey Joe '' between 1965 and 1966 . Their first version was released in November / December 1965 but sold poorly . The band 's third recorded version of the song became a hit in May / June 1966 , reaching No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 29 on the Canadian RPM Magazine charts . The Leaves ' version is notable for being the only recording of the song to reach the Top 40 of the Billboard chart . The Surfaris recording of the song , released on the B - side of their `` So Get Out '' single , is sometimes cited as being the first rock recording of the song , but a number of reliable sources contend that , in fact , the Surfaris ' version dates from 1966 , well after the Leaves ' original 1965 version . There is some dispute over exactly when the Surfaris ' recording of the song was released . Some sources list its release date as being late 1965 and other sources list it as being June 1966 . However , the catalogue number of the Surfari 's single is Decca 31954 , which when cross-referenced with other contemporaneous Decca single releases , allows the release to be conclusively dated to a May -- June 1966 time frame . A June 1966 release date is further corroborated by the discographical information on the website of the single 's producer , Gary Usher . The Standells recorded a version of the song , titled `` Hey Joe , Where You Gonna Go '' , which was included on their 1966 Dirty Water album . The garage rock band , the Music Machine , recorded a slow , moody , fuzz - laden version of the song in late 1966 which bears a strong resemblance to Jimi Hendrix 's later version . The Los Angeles band Love included a version of `` Hey Joe '' on their debut album , Love , recorded in January 1966 and released on Elektra Records in April . The song was brought to the band by guitarist and singer , Bryan MacLean , who had been introduced to the song by David Crosby during 1965 , while MacLean had been a roadie for the Byrds . The band 's lead vocalist , Arthur Lee , claimed in later years that it was Love 's version that turned Jimi Hendrix onto the song as well as most of the other Los Angeles acts who covered the song . Love 's recording of `` Hey Joe '' features slightly different lyrics to most versions of the song ; for example , the lyric `` gun in your hand '' became `` money in your hand '' in Love 's version . The Byrds recording of the song also features the same altered lyrics as Love 's version . Love guitarist Johnny Echols claims that Love 's and the Byrds ' lyrics are the authentic ones . According to Echols , the Leaves ( with whom they were friends ) had heard Love performing the song and asked them for the lyrics . He rewrote them to play the Leaves a `` dirty trick '' , accidentally authoring the version that everybody got to know . The Byrds included a recording of the song , titled `` Hey Joe ( Where You Gonna Go ) '' , on their 1966 album , Fifth Dimension . The lead vocalist on the Byrds ' version was David Crosby , who was instrumental in bringing the song to the group and in popularizing the song within the larger L.A. music community . Crosby had wanted to record the song almost since the band first formed in 1964 but the other members of the Byrds had been unenthusiastic about the song . By the time of the recording sessions for Fifth Dimension , several other bands had enjoyed success with covers of `` Hey Joe '' , leaving Crosby angered by his bandmates ' lack of faith in the song . Byrds ' guitarist and band leader Roger McGuinn recalled in an interview that `` The reason Crosby did lead on ' Hey Joe ' was because it was his song . He did n't write it but he was responsible for finding it . He 'd wanted to do it for years but we would never let him . Then both Love and the Leaves had a minor hit with it and David got so angry that we had to let him do it . '' General consensus within the band and among critics was that the Byrds ' version was n't an entirely successful reading of the song and was inferior to previous recordings of the song by Love and the Leaves . In later years , both McGuinn and the band 's manager , Jim Dickson , criticised Crosby 's vocal performance on the song for not being powerful enough to carry the aggressive subject matter and expressed regret that the song had been included on Fifth Dimension . Crosby himself later admitted that the recording of the song was an error on his part , stating `` It was a mistake , I should n't have done it . Everybody makes mistakes . '' The song would go on to become a staple of the Byrds ' live concert repertoire during 1966 and 1967 . The band also included the song in their performance at the Monterey Pop Festival , which is included on the 2002 The Complete Monterey Pop Festival DVD box set as well as on the 1992 The Monterey International Pop Festival CD box set . Tim Rose and Jimi Hendrix ( 1966 ) ( edit ) `` Hey Joe '' 1967 American picture sleeve . Single by The Jimi Hendrix Experience B - side `` Stone Free '' Released December 16 , 1966 ( 1966 - 12 - 16 ) Format 7 - inch 45 rpm record Recorded October 23 , 1966 Studio De Lane Lea , London Genre Blues rock Length 3 : 30 Label Polydor ( no . 56139 ) Producer ( s ) Chas Chandler The Jimi Hendrix Experience singles chronology `` Hey Joe '' ( 1966 ) `` Purple Haze '' ( 1967 ) Folk rock singer Tim Rose 's slower version of the song ( recorded in 1966 and claimed to be Rose 's arrangement of a wholly traditional song ) inspired the first single by the Jimi Hendrix Experience . The ex-bassist for the Animals , Chas Chandler , who was now focusing on managing other acts , had also seen Rose performing the song at the Cafe Wha ? in New York City and was looking for an artist to record a rock version of `` Hey Joe '' . Chandler discovered Jimi Hendrix , who had also been playing at the Cafe Wha ? in 1966 and performing an arrangement of `` Hey Joe '' inspired by Rose 's rendition . Chandler decided to take Hendrix with him to England in September 1966 , where he would subsequently turn the guitarist into a star . Rose re-recorded `` Hey Joe '' in the 1990s , re-titling it `` Blue Steel . 44 '' and again claimed the song as his own arrangement of a traditional song . Some accounts credit the slower version of the song by the British band the Creation as being the inspiration for Hendrix 's version ; Chandler and Hendrix saw them perform the song after Hendrix arrived in the UK , although the Creation 's version was not released until after Hendrix 's . It is unclear if the members of The Creation had heard Tim Rose 's version . Released in December 1966 , Hendrix 's version became a hit in the United Kingdom , entering the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart in January 1967 and peaking at number 6 . The single was released in the United States on May 1 , 1967 with the B - side `` 51st Anniversary '' , but failed to chart . `` Hey Joe '' , as recorded by the Jimi Hendrix Experience , with backing vocals by the Breakaways , remains the best - known version of the song and is listed as No. 201 on Rolling Stone magazine 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . In 2009 it was named the 22nd greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1 . `` Hey Joe '' was the last song Hendrix performed at the Woodstock festival in 1969 and as such , it was also the final song of the whole festival . The song was performed after the crowd , comprising the 80,000 who had not yet left the festival , cheered for an encore . Later recordings ( 1967 -- present ) ( edit ) `` Hey Joe '' Song by Deep Purple from the album Shades of Deep Purple Released June 1968 ( 1968 - 06 ) ( US ) , September 1968 ( 1968 - 09 ) ( UK ) Recorded May 1968 Studio Pye , London Length 7 : 33 Label Tetragrammaton , Parlophone Songwriter ( s ) Billy Roberts Producer ( s ) Derek Lawrence `` Hey Joe '' Single by Patti Smith B - side `` Piss Factory '' Released 1974 ( 1974 ) Recorded June 5 , 1974 Studio Electric Lady , New York City Length 4 : 41 Label Mer Songwriter ( s ) Billy Roberts ( additional lyrics by Patti Smith ) Producer ( s ) Lenny Kaye Cher recorded a version of `` Hey Joe '' on Imperial Records in late 1966 , which peaked at number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . It was included as a track on her 1967 album , With Love , Chér . Wilson Pickett released a version of the song that reached number 59 on the U.S. Hot 100 in August 1969 . Deep Purple included the song as the eighth and final track on their 1968 debut album , Shades of Deep Purple and initially listed their own bandmembers as the songwriters . Deep Purple 's seven and a half minute arrangement of the song includes elements of classical music , including parts from the Miller 's Dance , suite no . 2 , part 2 of El sombrero de tres picos ballet by Manuel de Falla , on a rhythm reminiscent of the Boléro by Maurice Ravel . Marmalade recorded a version of the song in 1968 because they needed a B - side to their single `` Lovin ' Things '' in a hurry , and because they thought it was a traditional song and as such , the band would get the songwriting royalties from it . Marmalade guitarist Junior Campbell stated in interview that `` Jimi Hendrix 's version had already sold about 200,000 copies and then we sold about 300,000 on the flip of ' Lovin ' Thing ' . But then the following year , the bloke who 'd written the bloody song suddenly turned up out of the woodwork ! '' . Frank Zappa recorded a parody of the song , titled `` Flower Punk '' , on the Mothers of Invention album We 're Only in It for the Money in 1968 . The song was one of several on the album that parodied the fashionable hippie lifestyle . Lyrics in Zappa 's version included `` Hey Punk , where you goin ' with that flower in your hand ? / Well , I 'm goin ' up to Frisco to join a psychedelic band . '' Zappa also included the opening chord riff of `` Hey Joe '' in the song `` Honey , Do n't You Want a Man Like Me ? '' from his Zappa in New York album . Patti Smith released a cover of the song as the A-side of her first single , `` Hey Joe '' b / w `` Piss Factory '' , in 1974 . The arrangement of Smith 's version is based on a recording by blues guitarist Roy Buchanan that was released the previous year ( and dedicated to Hendrix ) . Smith 's version is unique in that she includes a brief and salacious monologue about fugitive heiress Patty Hearst and her kidnapping and participation with the Symbionese Liberation Army . Smith 's version portrays Hearst as Joe with a `` gun in her hand '' . Sonic Youth 's song `` Hey Joni '' , included on their 1988 album , Daydream Nation , is titled in reference to `` Hey Joe '' and to Joni Mitchell , but it shares no lyrical themes with the Billy Roberts song . The rock band the Who occasionally performed `` Hey Joe '' during their 1989 tour . Their version was influenced by Hendrix 's arrangement and was dedicated to him . Willy DeVille recorded a mariachi version of the song that was a hit in Europe in 1992 , going to No. 1 in Spain . The song was released as a single in Europe and appeared on DeVille 's Backstreets of Desire album . Type O Negative re-titled the song as `` Hey Pete '' ( in reference to frontman Peter Steele ) on their 1992 The Origin of the Feces album and changed the song 's protagonist to an axe - murderer . This fit the song into a story arc spanning several of the band 's own compositions . 1,881 guitarists played `` Hey Joe '' in Wrocław on May 1 , 2007 , setting what was , at the time , a new Guinness record . The Brazilian group O Rappa recorded a version in Portuguese of Hey Joe . Written by Marcelo Yuka , then the band drummer , and Ivo Meilrelles , the version was recorded in the second album of the group , named Rappa Mundi . The song is about a poor man who lives in a ghetto and see himself obliged to take the way of the crime to survive . The Red Hot Chili Peppers were recorded on November 21 , 2006 , rehearsing the song for the Channel 4 TV program Live From Abbey Road . 1,572 guitarists played `` Hey Joe '' simultaneously in the town square of Wrocław , Poland on May 1 , 2006 , breaking a Guinness record . A new record was set when 1,881 guitarists played `` Hey Joe '' in Wrocław on May 1 , 2007 . Then on May 1 , 2008 , 1,951 guitarists played `` Hey Joe '' in Wrocław to set a new world record . The record was further broken in Wrocław on May 1 , 2009 , when 6,346 guitarists played the song in the same venue . A new record was set on May 1 , 2012 , when 7,273 guitarists turned out in Wrocław .

"\"Hey Joe\" is an American popular song from the 1960s that has become a rock standard and has been performed in many musical styles by hundreds of different artists.[2][3] \"Hey Joe\" tells the story of a man who is on the run and planning to head to Mexico after shooting his unfaithful wife.[4] The song was registered for copyright in the United States in 1962 by Billy Roberts.[5] However, diverse credits and claims have led to confusion about the song's authorship.[4] The earliest known commercial recording of the song is the late-1965 single by the Los Angeles garage band the Leaves; the band then re-recorded the track and released it in 1966 as a follow-up single which became a hit.[6] The best-known version is the Jimi Hendrix Experience's 1966 recording.[7] The song title is sometimes given as \"Hey Joe, Where You Gonna Go?\" or similar variations.\n"

He is the son of two meh emojis named Mel and Mary , and is able to make multiple expressions despite his parents ' upbringing . His parents are hesitant of him going to work , but Gene insists so that he can feel useful . Upon receiving a text from his crush Addie , Alex decides to send her an emoji . When Gene is selected , he panics , makes a confusing expression , and wrecks the text center . Gene is called in by Smiler , a smiley emoji and leader of the text center , who concludes that Gene is a `` malfunction '' and therefore must be deleted . Gene is chased by bots , but is rescued by Hi - 5 , a once popular emoji who has since lost his fame due to lack of use . He tells Gene that he can be fixed if they find a hacker , and Hi - 5 accompanies him so that he can reclaim his fame . Smiler sends more bots to look for Gene when she finds out that he has left Textopolis , as his actions have caused Alex to think that his phone needs to be fixed . Gene and Hi - 5 come to a piracy app where they meet a hacker emoji by the name of ' Jailbreak ' , who wants to reach Dropbox so that she can live in the cloud . The trio is attacked by Smiler 's bots , but manage to escape into the game Candy Crush . Jailbreak reveals that Gene can be fixed in the cloud , and the group goes off into the Just Dance app . While there , Jailbreak is revealed to be a princess emoji who fled home after tiring of being stereotyped . They are once again attacked by bots , and their actions cause Alex to delete the Just Dance app . Gene and Jailbreak escape , but Hi - 5 is taken along with the app and ends up in the trash . Mel and Mary go searching for Gene and have a very lethargic argument . They make up in the Instagram app when Mel reveals that he , too , is a malfunction , explaining Gene 's behavior . While traveling through Spotify , Jailbreak admits that she likes Gene just the way he is , and that he should not be ashamed of his malfunction . They make it to the trash and rescue Hi - 5 , but are soon attacked by an upgraded bot . They evade it and enter Dropbox , where they encounter a firewall . The gang get past it with a password being Addie 's name and make it to the cloud , where Jailbreak prepares to reprogram Gene . Gene admits his feelings for Jailbreak , but she wishes to stick to her plan of venturing into the cloud , unintentionally causing Gene to revert to his apathetic programming out of heartbreak . The upgraded bot takes Gene , and Hi - 5 and Jailbreak race after them on a Twitter bird summoned by Jailbreak . As Smiler prepares to delete Gene , Mel and Mary arrive and are also threatened . Jailbreak and Hi - 5 arrive and disable the bot , which falls on top of Smiler . Alex has since taken his phone to the store and asks to have his phone erased to fix the problem . Out of desperation , Gene prepares to have himself texted to Addie , making numerous faces to express himself . Realizing that Addie received a text from him , Alex stops his phone from getting erased , saving the emoji and finally getting to speak with Addie . Gene accepts himself for who he is and is celebrated by all of the emojis . In a mid-credits scene , Smiler has been relegated to the `` loser lounge '' with the other forgotten and unused emotions for her crimes , wearing numerous braces due to her teeth being cracked by the bot , and playing and losing a game of Go Fish .

Miller as Gene Meh , an outsider `` meh '' emoji who can show multiple expressions James Corden as Hi - 5 , a hand emoji representing a high five signal Anna Faris as Linda Jailbreak , a codebreaker emoji who is later revealed to be a princess emoji Maya Rudolph as Smiler , a smiley emoji and leader of the text center Steven Wright as Mel Meh , Gene 's emoji father Jennifer Coolidge as Mary Meh , Gene 's emoji mother Patrick Stewart as Poop , a poop emoji Christina Aguilera as Akiko Glitter , a `` super cool '' dancer that lives inside the Just Dance app Sofía Vergara as Flamenca , a flamenco dancer emoji Sean Hayes as Steven , a devil emoji Rachael Ray as Spam , a spam message Jeff Ross as an Internet troll Jake T. Austin as Alex , a human teenager who owns the phone where Gene and his emoji friends live Tati Gabrielle as Addie McCallister , Alex 's crush Rob Riggle as an ice cream emoji Production The film was inspired by director Tony Leondis ' love of Toy Story . Wanting to make a new take on the concept , he began asking himself , `` What is the new toy out there that has n't been explored ? '' At the same time , Leondis received a text message with an emoji , which helped him realize that this was the world he wanted to explore . In fleshing out the story , Leondis considered having the emojis visit the real world . However , his producer felt that the world inside a phone was much more interesting , which inspired Leondis to create the story of where and how the emojis lived . As Leondis is gay , he connected to Gene 's plight of `` being different in a world that expects you to be one thing , '' and in eventually realizing that the feeling held true for most people , Leondis has said the film `` was very personal '' . In July 2015 , it was announced that Sony Pictures Animation had won the bidding war against Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures over production rights to make the film , with the official announcement occurring at the 2016 CinemaCon . On World Emoji Day on June 17 , 2016 , Miller was announced as the lead . Leondis created the part with Miller in mind , although the actor was initially hesitant to play the role , only accepting after Leondis briefed him on the story . Leondis chose Miller because `` when you think of irrepressible , you think of TJ . But he also has this surprising ability to break your heart '' . in addition Miller also contributed some re-writes . In October 2016 , it was announced that Ilana Glazer and Corden would join the cast as well . Glazer was later replaced by Anna Faris . Singer Ricky Reed recorded the song `` Good Vibrations '' for the film . Release In November 2015 , Sony scheduled the film to be released on August 11 , 2017 . A year later , it was moved to August 4 , 2017 , with Baby Driver initially taking its previous date . In late March 2017 , the film was moved one week earlier , to July 28 , 2017 , switching places with Sony Pictures ' The Dark Tower . On December 20 , 2016 , a teaser trailer for the film was released . A second trailer was later released on May 16 , 2017 . Sony promoted the release of the latter trailer by hosting a press conference in Cannes , the day before the 2017 Cannes Film Festival , which featured T.J. Miller parasailing in . Variety called the event `` slightly awkward '' , and The Hollywood Reporter described it as `` promotional ridiculousness '' . The film 's theatrical release is preceded by Puppy ! , a Hotel Transylvania short directed by Genndy Tartakovsky . Home media The Emoji Movie was released on Blu - ray and DVD on October 24 , 2017 , by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment . Controversy Days prior the film 's release , Sony Pictures was criticized after the film 's official Twitter account posted a promotional picture of a parody of The Handmaid 's Tale , featuring Smiler . The parody was considered to be `` tasteless '' due to the overall themes of the work , and the image was deleted afterward . Reception Box Office As of December 10 , 2017 , The Emoji Movie has grossed $86.1 million in the United States and Canada and $130.9 million in other territories , for a worldwide total of $217 million , against a production budget of $50 million . The Emoji Movie was released alongside Atomic Blonde , and was projected to gross around $20 million from 4,075 theaters in its opening weekend . The film made $900,000 from Thursday night previews and $10.1 million on its first day . It went on to debut to $24.5 million , finishing second at the box office behind Dunkirk . Review embargoes for the film were lifted midday July 27 , only a few hours before the film premiered to the general public , in a move considered among one of several tactics studios are using to try to curb bad Rotten Tomatoes ratings . Speaking of the effect embargoing reviews until last minute had on the film 's debut , Josh Greenstein , Sony Pictures president of worldwide marketing and distribution , said , `` The Emoji Movie was built for people under 18 ... so we wanted to give the movie its best chance . What other wide release with a score under 8 percent has opened north of $20 million ? I do n't think there is one . '' In the film 's second weekend it dropped nearly 50 % , grossing $12.4 million and finishing in 3rd . Critical response Critics panned The Emoji Movie , calling it `` unfunny and a waste of time '' . On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 9 % based on 107 reviews , with an average rating of 2.7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus displays a no symbol emoji ( `` 🚫 '' ) in place of text . On Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating to reviews , the film has a weighted average score of 12 out of 100 , based on 26 critics , indicating `` overwhelming dislike '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B '' on an A+ to F scale . David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a D , writing : `` Make no mistake , The Emoji Movie is very , very , very bad ( we 're talking about a hyperactive piece of corporate propaganda in which Spotify saves the world and Sir Patrick Stewart voices a living turd ) , but real life is just too hard to compete with right now . '' Alonso Duralde of TheWrap was also critical of the film , calling it `` a soul - crushing disaster because it lacks humor , wit , ideas , visual style , compelling performances , a point of view or any other distinguishing characteristic that would make it anything but a complete waste of your time '' . Glen Kenny of The New York Times described the film as `` nakedly idiotic '' , stating that the film plays off a Hollywood idea that the `` panderingly , trendily idiotic can be made to seem less so '' . Owen Gleiberman of Variety lambasted the film as `` hectic situational overkill '' and `` lazy '' while viciously criticizing the film , writing : `` There have been worse ideas , but in this case the execution is n't good enough to bring the notion of an emoji movie to funky , surprising life .

The home of the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League ( NFL ) and Atlanta United FC of Major League Soccer ( MLS ) , it replaced the adjacent Georgia Dome , the Falcons ' home stadium for a quarter century , from 1992 through 2016 . Opened in 2017 , Mercedes - Benz Stadium is owned by the state of Georgia through the Georgia World Congress Center Authority , and operated by AMB Group , the parent organization of the Falcons and Atlanta United . The total cost is estimated at $1.6 billion , as of June 2016 . The stadium officially opened on August 26 with a Falcons preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals , despite the retractable roof system being incomplete . Contents ( hide ) 1 Proposal timeline 1.2 2011 1.3 2012 1.4 2013 1.5 2014 1.6 2015 2 Design 2.1 Construction delays 3 Costs and funding 4 Events 4.1 College sports 4.2 Other major events 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Proposal timeline ( edit ) In May 2010 , it was reported by multiple news outlets that the Atlanta Falcons were interested in demolishing the Georgia Dome and replacing it with a newly constructed open - air stadium . The team was pursuing a new stadium because of the team 's desire to play outdoors , as well as Falcons team owner Arthur Blank 's interest in hosting another Super Bowl . The stadium was also pursued as a possible bid for a venue of an upcoming FIFA World Cup . 2011 ( edit ) Kansas City - based architectural firm Populous released comprehensive plans for the proposed stadium in February 2011 . Populous ' early cost estimate for the project was $700 million . According to the master plan , the stadium would have a maximum capacity of 71,000 , but can expand to 75,000 for special events such as the Super Bowl . It will also feature multiple club levels , suites and exhibition area . 2012 ( edit ) In April 2012 , Populous released a new price estimate of $947.7 million , which was significantly higher than the previous proposal of $700 million . In April 2012 , The Atlanta Journal - Constitution reported that if a deal is reached , the new stadium 's construction would be expected to begin in 2014 , with the Falcons to begin regular - season play in 2017 . The proposed location of the new stadium is a large parking lot in Atlanta 's Vine City neighborhood , which is less than a mile north of the Georgia Dome 's current location . Once construction is complete , the Georgia Dome would subsequently be demolished . On August 24 , The Atlanta Journal - Constitution reported that an official deal could be reached on the construction of a new stadium by the end of 2012 . They also reported on September 10 that Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed said site improvements could likely bump the total cost to $1.2 billion ; however , that does not increase the actual building cost , which still remains at an estimated $948 million . On December 10 , the Georgia World Congress Center Authority , in a unanimous decision , approved the blueprint and most of the agreement terms for the new stadium plans . According to The Atlanta Journal - Constitution article , the term sheet is non-binding and changes could be made at any time as regards stadium construction . Stadium location , however , is yet to be worked out ; proposed locations being reported are within walking distance of the Georgia Dome , with one site located one - half mile north , and the other one block directly south , at the one of the stadium 's existing parking lots . The project made national headlines for the first time in 2012 on December 15 , with team owner Arthur Blank stating in The New York Times that he would rather a new stadium be constructed than a `` remodeling job '' of the Georgia Dome . 2013 ( edit ) During a January 10 , 2013 press conference , Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed expressed his optimism and confidence in the construction of the new stadium ; he also mentioned the possibility of the new stadium helping the city compete for its first Major League Soccer team . Aerial photo showing land next to Georgia Dome cleared for construction of the new stadium . On March 7 , 2013 , the Atlanta Falcons and the city of Atlanta agreed to build the new downtown stadium . The maximum public contribution for the project is $200 million , coming from the hotel - motel tax in Atlanta and unincorporated Fulton County . The Atlanta City Council officially approved the stadium on March 19 , 2013 . The council voted , 11 -- 4 , in favor of the use of city hotel - motel taxes to pay $200 million toward construction costs and potentially several times that toward costs of financing , maintaining and operating the stadium through 2050 . On May 21 , 2013 , the NFL approved a $200 million loan to the Falcons organization for the purpose of building the stadium . On June 18 , 2013 , it was announced that the Falcons have completed a full conceptual design of the proposed new stadium , and that they have secured the initial approval to proceed with the schematic design phase . According to Doug Farrar 's Shutdown Corner , `` The stadium will seat approximately 70,000 people , with 180 luxury suites and 7,500 club seats . '' The main agency involved will be 360 Architecture , partnered with three other architectural firms . 2014 ( edit ) Arthur Blank indicated the groundbreaking of the stadium would be conducted the last week of March 2014 . Just after Martin Luther King , Jr . Drive was closed permanently , the Mount Vernon Baptist Church held its last Sunday service on March 9 before the historic church was demolished . Due to legal issues surrounding the issuing of bonds , the stadium did not break ground in March 2014 . Instead the ground was officially broken in a ceremony led by Mayor Kasim Reed on May 19 , 2014 . 2015 ( edit ) Play media Construction site in November , 2015 . In a live broadcast on August 24 , 2015 , owner Arthur Blank announced that the new title of the stadium would be Mercedes - Benz Stadium . As the New Orleans Saints , the Falcons ' archrivals in the NFC South , play in the Mercedes - Benz Superdome , this gave the division two stadiums that were sponsored by the same company . A new logo was also introduced . Steve Cannon , then CEO of Mercedes - Benz USA , also spoke at the event about the company 's corporate move from New Jersey to Atlanta . Other speakers included Georgia Governor Nathan Deal and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed . Design ( edit ) Interior of the stadium in August 2017 Animation of the pinwheel - shaped roof opening The winning design , submitted by HOK , featured an eight - panel retractable roof that resembled a pinwheel , and a glass wall that would open with the roof to allow in fresh air . The roof design included eight triangular translucent panels , that when opened would create the illusion of a bird 's wings extended . Surrounding the opening of the roof would be a halo video board that would enclose the playing surface , stretching from one of the 10 - yard lines to the other and then curving around the end zones to complete the oval . Each of the eight panels operates on two parallel rails ; one rail is responsible for moving the panel while the other rail stabilizes the panel . In January 2015 , the Falcons announced the hiring of Daktronics , a South Dakota - based firm , to build the stadium 's electronics display . The announced features included a circular 58 - by - 1,100 - foot ( 18 by 335 m ) circular LED board that would ring the opening of the stadium 's roof , and would be `` three times as large as the current largest single display board in the NFL '' installed at EverBank Field in Jacksonville ( also built by Daktronics ) . In addition , the company installed more than 20,000 square feet ( 1,900 m ) of other LED boards , including field - level advertising boards for soccer games . The design included a 100 - yard bar that would stretch the length of the football field in the upper concourse , along with a fantasy football lounge and premium club seating at field level , behind the teams ' benches . Atlanta Falcon sculpture at Mercedes - Benz Stadium The stadium also incorporated contemporary art into its interior and exterior design , with over 180 specially commissioned works , including pieces by Nari Ward , Hank Willis Thomas , and Steven and William Ladd . The centerpiece of the art collection was to be Gábor Miklós Szőke 's steel sculpture `` Rise Up , '' which the artist claimed would be the largest freestanding bird sculpture in the world . The falcon , perched atop a 13 - foot - tall bronze football , is 41 feet high , with a wingspan of 70 feet . The over-73,000 - pound artwork , stands in front of the stadium , and as tall as a four - story building . Architect Bill Johnson said the circular opening in the roof was inspired by the Roman Pantheon ( `` Pantheon '' was also the working name for the building design ) . The roof was designed to be made of a clear , lightweight polymer material that can adjust its opacity to control light , and much of the exterior will be clear polymer or glass to allow views to the outside . The middle concourse and upper bowl were eliminated in the east end zone to allow for an unobstructed view of the Atlanta skyline . Atlanta United FC General Manager Jim Smith said the design had `` soccer in mind from the very beginning '' , pointing to the retracting lower bowl seats to widen the field , and mechanized curtains that limit the capacity to about 42,500 and make the stadium feel more intimate . The stadium features a Chick - fil - A location , a business that famously closes on Sundays , despite its main tenant , the Falcons , playing most of their home games on Sundays . The location opens when the Falcons have a Monday night or Thursday night home game , as well as non-Sunday home games of Atlanta United FC and other events at the stadium . On Sundays , the digital signs will be flipped and concessionaire Levy Restaurants will sell non-branded food and drinks at the location Construction delays ( edit ) Mercedes - Benz Stadium 's projected opening date was delayed three times due to the complexity of the eight - panel retractable roof . The stadium was originally intended to open on March 1 , 2017 ; however , the opening date was later delayed to June 1 , 2017 , then to July 30 , 2017 , and then to August 26 , 2017 . Steve Cannon , CEO of the Atlanta Falcons ' parent company AMB Group , stated that the Falcons ' preseason schedule and the Chick - fil - a Kickoff Games would not be affected by the new opening date ; however , three of Atlanta United 's matches would be affected . The July 30 game against Orlando City SC was moved to Atlanta United 's interim home of Bobby Dodd Stadium for July 29 while two home matches scheduled in August were moved to later dates . Additionally , the Georgia Dome 's demolition was put on hold until the new stadium 's certificate of occupancy could be issued . On June 9 , 2017 , stadium officials announced that they were confident that Mercedes - Benz Stadium would open as scheduled , and the decommissioning process for the Georgia Dome had resumed , with the Dome scheduled for implosion on November 20 , 2017 . On July 25 , 2017 , stadium officials reported that the roof would be in the closed position during the Falcons ' preseason games and the Chick - fil - A Kickoff games while contractors continue to fine tune the roof to allow all eight panels to work in sync . Falcons ' President Rich McKay also stated that the roof would remain closed whenever outside temperatures exceed 80 ° F ( 27 ° C ) . On August 16 , 2017 , Atlanta 's local NBC affiliate WXIA reported that construction of the retractable roof system was intentionally delayed by stadium and construction officials to ensure the roof 's long term operability and to ensure that other parts of the stadium would be completed on time . On September 10 , 2017 , the Falcons announced that , contrary to earlier plans , the stadium roof would in fact be open during the Falcon 's home opener on September 17 against the Green Bay Packers if weather permitted . Costs and funding ( edit ) In December 2014 , the Georgia World Congress Center 's board of governors approved a resolution to raise the cost of the stadium to $1.2 billion . The stadium was initially slated to cost $1 billion , then rose to $1.2 billion in October 2013 . The city has agreed to contribute $200 million in stadium bonds , but with additional tax revenues and with the state of Georgia contributing $40 million for parking expansion , public spending is expected to reach near $600 million . In January 2015 , the Falcons announced the sale of personal seat licenses ( PSL ) costing up to $45,000 per seat , depending on the section of the stadium . The most expensive tickets is priced at $385 per game , in addition to one - time PSL fees , for the first three years . On August 21 , 2015 , the Atlanta Journal - Constitution reported that Mercedes - Benz would acquire the naming rights for the stadium , and this was later confirmed by a press conference at the stadium site on August 24 . Under the stadium deal with the city of Atlanta and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority , the Falcons organization controls the stadium 's naming rights and receives all related revenue . Then - Mercedes - Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon , who would subsequently join the Falcons ' organization in 2016 as CEO of AMB Group , stated that the sponsorship would last 27 years , calling it the largest marketing deal in Mercedes - Benz ' history , but Cannon would not disclose the full value of the deal . Mercedes - Benz also holds a 10 - year naming rights contract for the former Louisiana Superdome signed in 2011 . Events ( edit ) College Sports ( edit ) In April 2014 , the Peach Bowl , one of the six rotating semifinal sites for the College Football Playoff , announced it would move to the new stadium from the Georgia Dome beginning with the 2017 season . On November 15 , 2014 , the NCAA announced Mercedes - Benz Stadium will hold the men 's college basketball Final Four in 2020 . On July 9 , 2015 , the Chick - fil - A Peach Bowl announced the stadium would host the college football Chick - fil - A Kickoff Game on September 2 , 2017 , featuring the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Florida State Seminoles . On July 20 , 2015 , it was announced the stadium would feature a second Chick - fil - A Kickoff Game on September 4 , 2017 , between the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Tennessee Volunteers . On September 8 , 2015 , it was announced that the SEC Championship Game would be held at the stadium beginning in 2017 and remain there until 2027 . On November 4 , 2015 , it was announced that the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship would be held at the stadium on January 8 , 2018 , beating out Houston , Miami Gardens , and Santa Clara . Other Major events ( edit ) On May 24 , 2016 , the NFL announced that the stadium would host Super Bowl LIII in 2019 . On June 22 , 2017 , Garth Brooks was announced as the venue 's inaugural musical performer . He will perform at the stadium on October 12 , 2017 . On September 16 , 2017 , Atlanta United played an MLS regular season match versus Orlando City at Mercedes - Benz Stadium in front of 70,425 spectators , the largest crowd in a stand - alone MLS match . On March 3 , 2018 , the stadium will host a round of the AMA Supercross Championship , replacing the Georgia Dome which had been part of the schedule since 1993 . On November 10 , 2018 , English singer - songwriter Ed Sheeran is scheduled to perform at the stadium as part of his ÷ Tour .

6192698747370082428 | Sixth form | Sixth form - wikipedia Sixth form Jump to : navigation , search This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( March 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Look up sixth form in Wiktionary , the free dictionary . In the education systems of England , Northern Ireland , Wales and some other Commonwealth countries , sixth form ( sometimes referred to as Key Stage 5 ) represents the final 1 - 3 years of secondary education ( high school ) , where students ( typically between 16 and 18 years of age ) prepare for their A-level ( or equivalent ) examinations . Contents ( hide ) 1 England and Wales 2 Northern Ireland 3 Scotland 4 Other countries 5 See also 6 Notes England and Wales ( edit ) The term sixth form describes the school years numbered 12 and 13 , which are called the Lower Sixth ( L6 ) and Upper Sixth ( U6 ) by many schools . The term survives from an earlier system when the first five years of English secondary schooling were known as forms ( which would originally have been long backless benches on which rows of pupils sat in the classroom ) . Pupils started their first year of secondary school in the first form or first year , and this was the academic year in which pupils would normally become 12 years of age . Pupils would move up a form each year before entering the fifth form in the academic year in which they would have their sixteenth birthday . Those who stayed on at school to study for A-levels moved up into the sixth form , which was divided into the Lower Sixth and the Upper Sixth . In some private schools , the term Middle Sixth was used in place of Upper Sixth , with the latter being used for those who stayed on for an extra term to take the entrance examinations that were previously set for candidates to Oxford or Cambridge universities . Other schools described these Oxbridge examination students as being in the Seventh Form or Third Year Sixth . The system was changed for the 1990 -- 1991 academic year and school years are now numbered consecutively from primary school onwards . Year 1 is the first year of primary school after Reception . The first year of secondary school ( the old first form ) is now known as Year 7 . The Lower Sixth is now Year 12 and the Upper Sixth is Year 13 . However , the term `` Sixth Form '' has still been retained as a vestige of the old system and is used as a collective term for Years 12 and 13 . Public ( fee - charging ) schools , along with some state schools , tend to use the old system of numbering . In some parts of the country , special sixth form colleges were introduced beginning in a particularly important phase of student life . A large proportion of English secondary schools no longer have an integral sixth form . This is mainly related to reforms in the later 20th century , where different political areas became a factor in the introduction of colleges instead of the original sixth forms . There are now numerous sixth form colleges throughout England and Wales , and in areas without these , sixth form schools and specialist further education ( FE ) colleges called tertiary colleges may fill the same role . Sixth form is not compulsory in England and Wales ( although from 2013 onwards , people of sixth form age must remain in some form of education or training in England only , the school leaving age remains 16 in Wales ) ; however , university entrance normally requires at least three A2 - level qualifications and perhaps one AS - level . Students usually select three or four subjects from the GCSEs they have just taken , for one `` AS '' year , the AS exams being taken at the end of Lower Sixth . Three subjects are then carried into the A2 year ( the dropped AS being `` cashed in '' as a qualification ) and further exams are taken at the end of that year . The marks attained in both sets of exams are converted into UCAS points , which must meet the offer made by the student 's chosen university . Northern Ireland ( edit ) In Northern Ireland , the equivalent of Reception is `` P1 '' , and the equivalent of the English Year 1 `` P2 '' , while the first year of secondary school is known as Year 8 or first year ( rather than Year 7 as in England ) , and following that Lower and Upper Sixth are Year 13 and Year 14 respectively . Scotland ( edit ) In the Scottish education system , the final year of school is known as Sixth Year or S6 . During this year , students typically study Advanced Higher and / or Higher courses in a wide range of subjects , taking SQA exams at the end of both S5 and S6 . Pupils in Scotland may leave once they have reached the age of 16 ; those who reach 16 before 30 September may leave after national examinations in May , whilst those who are 16 by the end of February may leave the previous Christmas . It is not essential for candidates to do a sixth year if they wish to attend a Scottish university , as they have obtained adequate Higher grades in S5 they may apply and receive acceptance , but this is conditional on being successful in the examinations . However , the vast majority of Scottish students return for S6 if they plan to attend university . Some English universities will also accept Scottish students who have obtained adequate Higher grades in S5 . It was announced in December 2008 that , as from 2010 , UCAS will increase the number of points awarded to those who achieve Highers and Advanced Highers . In some cases , particularly in independent schools , the term sixth form is also used for the last two years of secondary education . An increasing number of independent schools are offering their students the International Baccalaureate Programme . Preceded by Fifth year Sixth year 16.5 -- 18 Succeeded by Higher education Other countries ( edit ) In some secondary schools in Hong Kong , Jamaica , Barbados , Sierra Leone and Trinidad and Tobago , the sixth and seventh years are called Lower and Upper Sixth respectively . In India and Nepal , it is the `` + 2 '' part of the `` 10 + 2 '' educational system . In 2009 , Malaysia , which previously used Tingkatan Enam Bawah dan Atas ( Lower and Upper Sixth ) , switched to Pra - Universiti 1 ( Pre-University 1 , replacing Lower Sixth ) and Pra - Universiti 2 ( Pre-University 2 , replacing Upper Sixth ) to reflect that the sixth and seventh years prepare students for university . Similarly , the term sixth form is also used to define the final two years of education before entering university in Malta . In Singapore , however , the equivalent of a sixth form college would be called a junior college , where pupils take their Cambridge GCE A-levels after two years . Prior to the 1990s , these two years were known as `` Pre-University '' ( Pre-U ) 1 and 2 . In some college preparatory schools in the United States , such as The Hill School , Woodberry Forest School , Ethical Culture Fieldston School , Kent School , Pomfret School , The Church Farm School , The Haverford School , Portsmouth Abbey School and more , sixth form refers to the final year of education prior to college . It is the equivalent of twelfth grade in the US education system . In New Zealand , under the old system of Forms , Standards and Juniors , Sixth Form was the equivalent of Year 12 in today 's system . Year 13 was known as Seventh Form . Australia also sometimes uses the term for Year 12 , though the Australian Year 12 is equivalent to the NZ Year 13 / Seventh Form and the UK 's Upper Sixth / Year 13 . In Brunei , sixth form comprises Year 12 and 13 , which may also be referred to as Lower and Upper Six . At the end of the schooling , students sit for Brunei - Cambridge GCE A Level . Students may also opt to take Advanced Subsidiary Level or AS Level halfway at the end of Lower Six or halfway through Upper Six . Sixth form is not compulsory , but a preferable choice for students wishing to continue in academic studies leading to university level .

7701004216064633396 | Sati (practice) | Sati ( practice ) - wikipedia Sati ( practice ) `` Suttee '' redirects here . For other uses of `` sati '' , see Sati ( disambiguation ) . An 18th - century painting depicting sati Sati or suttee is an obsolete funeral custom where a widow immolates herself on her husband 's pyre or takes her own life in another fashion shortly after her husband 's death . Mention of the practice can be dated back to the 3rd century BC , while evidence of practice by widows of kings only appears beginning between the 5th and 9th centuries CE . The practice is considered to have originated within the warrior aristocracy in India , gradually gaining in popularity from the 10th century AD and spreading to other groups from the 12th through 18th century CE . The practice was particularly prevalent among some Hindu communities , observed in aristocratic Hindu families , and has been attested to outside South Asia in a number of localities in Southeast Asia , such as in Indonesia and Vietnam . Under British rule , the practice was initially tolerated . In the province of Bengal , sati was attended by a colonial government official , which states historian A.F. Salahuddin Ahmed , `` not only seemed to accord an official sanction , but also increased its prestige value '' . Between 1815 and 1818 , the number of sati in Bengal province doubled from 378 to 839 . Under sustained campaigning against sati by Christian missionaries such as William Carey and Brahmin Hindu reformers such as Ram Mohan Roy , the provincial government banned sati in 1829 . This was followed up by similar laws by the authorities in the princely states of India in the ensuing decades , with a general ban for the whole of India issued by Queen Victoria in 1861 . In Nepal , sati was banned in 1920 . The Indian Sati Prevention Act from 1988 further criminalised any type of aiding , abetting , and glorifying of sati .

The term sati was originally interpreted as `` chaste woman '' . Sati appears in Hindi and Sanskrit texts , where it is synonymous with `` good wife '' ; the term suttee was commonly used by Anglo - Indian English writers . Sati designates therefore originally the woman , rather than the rite ; the rite itself having technical names such as sahagamana ( `` going with '' ) or sahamarana ( `` dying with '' ) . Anvarohana ( `` ascension '' to the pyre ) is occasionally met , as well as satidaha as terms to designate the process . Satipratha is also , on occasion , used as a term signifying the custom of burning widows alive . Two other terms related to sati are sativrata and satimata . Sativrata , an uncommon and seldom used term , denotes the woman who makes a vow , vrata , to protect her husband while he is alive and then die with her husband . Satimata denotes a venerated widow who committed sati . The Indian Commission of Sati ( Prevention ) Act , 1987 Part I , Section 2 ( c ) defines sati as the act or rite itself . History ( edit ) Origins and comparisons ( edit ) Earliest records ( edit ) Few reliable records exist of the practice before the time of the Gupta empire , approximately 400CE although the Greek historian Aristobulus of Cassandreia , who traveled to India with the expedition of Alexander the Great , recorded that he had heard that among certain tribes widows were glad to burn along with their husbands , and that those who declined to die were disgraced . According to Axel Michaels , the first inscriptional evidence of the practice is from Nepal in 464 CE , and in India from 510 CE . The early evidence suggests that widow - burning practice was seldom carried out in the general population . Centuries later , instances of sati began to be marked by inscribed memorial stones called Sati stones . According to J.C. Harle , the medieval memorial stones appear in two forms -- viragal ( hero stone ) and satigal ( sati stone ) , each to memorialize something different . Both of these are found in many regions of India , but `` rarely if ever earlier in date than the 8th or 9th century '' . Numerous memorial sati stones appear 11th - century onwards , states Michaels , and the largest collections are found in Rajasthan . A description of sati appears in the Greek 1st - century BCE historian Diodorus Siculus 's account of the war fought in Iran between two of Alexander the Great 's generals , Eumenes of Cardia and Antigonus Monophthalmus . In 317 BCE Eumenes 's cosmopolitan army defeated that of Antigonus in the Battle of Paraitakene . Among the fallen was one Ceteus , the commander of Eumenes 's Indian soldiers . Diodorus writes that Ceteus had been followed on campaign by his two wives , at his funeral the two wives competed for the honour of joining their husband on the pyre . After the older wife was found to be pregnant , Eumenes 's generals ruled in favour of the younger . She was led to the pyre crowned in garlands to the hymns of her kinsfolk . The whole army then marched three times around the pyre before it was lit . According to Diodorus the practice of sati started because Indians married for love , unlike the Greeks who favoured marriages arranged by the parents . When inevitably many of these love marriages turned sour , the woman would often poison the husband and find a new lover . To end these murders , a law was therefore instituted that the widow should either join her husband in death or live in perpetual widowhood . Modern historians believe Diodorus 's source for this episode was the eyewitness account of the now lost historian Hieronymus of Cardia . Hieronymus ' explanation of the origin of sati appears to be his own composite , created from a variety of Indian traditions and practices to form a moral lesson upholding traditional Greek values . In the 1886 published Hobson - Jobson , Henry Yule and Arthur Coke Burnell mention the practice of Suttee ( sati ) as an early custom of Russians near Volga , tribes of Thracians in southeast Europe , and some tribes of Tonga and Fiji islands . Yule and Burnell also compiled a few dozen excerpts of historical descriptions of sati , the first being of Ceteus ( or Keteus ) mentioned above in 317 BC , and then a few before the 9th century AD , where the widow of a king had the choice to burn with him or abstain . Most of the compiled list on sati , by Yule and Burnell , date from 1200 AD through the 1870s AD .

Mallory Institutes Copenhagen Studies in Indo - European Publications Encyclopedia of Indo - European Culture The Horse , the Wheel and Language Journal of Indo - European Studies Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch Indo - European Etymological Dictionary The archaeologist Elena Efimovna Kuzmina enlists clear parallels between the burial practices of the ancient Asiatic steppe Andronovo cultures ( fl. 1800 -- 1400 BCE ) and the Vedic Age . In Kuzmina 's archaeological definition , sati is understood as a double burial , the co-cremation of a man and a woman / wife , a feature to be found in both cultures . Kuzmina states that in the Androvo culture and Vedic age , the practice was never strictly observed and was symbolic . The sacrifice of widow ( s ) or a great man 's retainers at his death is attested in various Indo - European cultures outside of India . As an example where the widows vied for the honour to die with their common husband , the 5th - century BCE historian Herodotus mentions the Krestones tribe among the Thracians . The woman found to have been held highest in the husband 's favour while he lived had her throat slit on his grave , the surviving wives reputedly regarding it as a great shame to have to live on . Citing the Gothic Wars of Procopius ( written circa AD 550 ) , Edward Gibbon notes that among the Germanic tribe of the Heruli , a widow typically hanged herself upon her husband 's tomb . Practice in Hindu - influenced cultures outside India ( edit ) The early 14th - century CE traveller Odoric of Pordenone mentions wife burning in Zampa ( Champa ) , in nowadays south / central Vietnam . Anant Altekar states that sati spread with Hindu migrants to Southeast Asian islands , such as to Java , Sumatra and Bali . According to Dutch colonial records , this was however a rare practice in Indonesia , one found in royal households . Description of the Balinese rite of self - sacrifice or Suttee , in Houtman 's 1597 Verhael vande Reyse ... Naer Oost Indien In Cambodia , both the lords and the wives of a dead king voluntarily burnt themselves in the 15th and 16th centuries . According to European traveller accounts , in 15th century Mergui , in present - day extreme south Myanmar , widow burning was practiced . A Chinese pilgrim from the 15th century seems to attest the practice on islands called Ma - i - tung and Ma - i ( possibly Belitung ( outside Sumatra ) and Northern Philippines , respectively ) . According to the historian K.M. de Silva , Christian missionaries in Sri Lanka with a substantial Hindu minority population , reported `` there were no glaring social evils associated with the indigenous religions - no sati , ( ... ) . There was thus less scope for the social reformer . '' However , although sati was non-existent in the colonial era , earlier Muslim travellers such as Sulaiman al - Tajir reported that sati was optionally practiced , which a widow could choose to undertake . Comparable practices in other non-hindu cultures ( edit ) In 1968 , Eberhard stated that the practice of widow burning was observed inside China , but was rare and influenced by India . Chinese sociology studies that followed suggest that the practice was historically more widespread , far removed from India ( near the Korean peninsula ) , and found among the Manchu people of China where a widow would ritually commit suicide after her husband died ( Chinese : xunsi , congxun ) . After her suicide , she was socially celebrated as a virtuous chaste widow . This Altaic tradition was not limited to the Manchu people of China , but also found in other Chinese ethnic groups . The practice of self - immolation and other forms of public suicide by widows were observed , for example , in Fukien province of southeast China , in some cases in duress after a rape attempt and in other cases voluntarily without duress . A similar practice of widow suicide to follow her husband or fiancé , states Hai - soon Lee , existed in medieval Korea , in accordance with the traditional Confucian ethos . According to Martina Deuchler , this practice was praised as misok ( beautiful custom ) , and the dead widow praised as `` faithful wife '' , in the historic Korean culture and literature . Historical documents attest to the public self - immolation practice ( self cremation , as shaoshen 燒 身 or zifen 自焚 ) among Buddhist nuns ( and monks ) in ancient and medieval China for religious reasons . This was considered as evidence of a renunciant bodhisattva , and may have been inspired by the Jataka tales wherein the Buddha in his earlier lives immolates himself to assist other living beings , or teachings in the Lotus Sutra . The Chinese Buddhist asceticism practices , states James Benn , were not an adaptation or import of Indian ascetic practices , but an invention of Chinese Buddhists , based on their unique interpretations of Buddhists texts . It may be an adoption of more ancient pre-Buddhist Chinese practices . In modern times , Buddhist nuns have used self - immolation as a form of protest . Thich Nu Thanh Quang , a Buddhist nun publicly burnt herself to death in front of Diệu Đế Pagoda in central Vietnam , as a mark of protest against the Vietnam War . Her death triggered a wave of similar self - immolations by other nuns and monks as the war continued . Cases of burning at funerals elsewhere , History and legends ( edit ) A well - known case is that of the 10th - century AD ship burial of the Rus ' described by Ibn Fadlan . Here , when a female slave had said she would be willing to die , her body was subsequently burned with her master on the pyre . Such rituals as widow sacrifice / widow burning have , presumably , prehistoric roots . Early 20th - century pioneering anthropologist James G. Frazer , for example , thought that the legendary Greek story of Capaneus , whose wife Evadne threw herself on his funeral pyre , might be a relic of an earlier custom of live widow - burning . The strangling of widows after their husbands ' deaths are attested from as disparate cultures as the Natchez people in present - day US state Louisiana , to a number of Pacific Islander cultures . Sati - like Hindu practice : jauhar ( edit ) Main article : Jauhar The Rajput practice of Jauhar , known from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh , was the collective suicide of widows who preferred death rather than being captured alive and dishonored by victorious Muslim soldiers in a war . According to Bose , jauhar practice grew in the 14th and 15th century with Hindu - Muslim wars of northwest India , where the Hindu women preferred death than slavery or rape they faced if captured . Sati - style jauhar custom was observed only during Hindu - Muslim wars in medieval India , but not during internecine Hindu - Hindu wars among the Rajputs . Arvind Sharma states that there was a distinction between jauhar and sati , because jauhar was principally motivated by a desire to avoid being captured by the invading Muslims , while sati was suicide of a devoted widow . John Hawley disagrees , and states there was a connection between jauhar and sati in terms of the insecurity and fears of the widow ( s ) , and that these customs reinforced each other . Further Jauhar was a custom for which special combustible rooms were built within the forts called Lakshagraha made of Lacquer and other inflammable substances . Practice within sikhs , Jains and Muslims ( edit ) Sati was observed within Sikh aristocracy . For example , when the founder of the Sikh Empire Ranjit Singh died in 1839 , four of his proper wives and seven of his concubines committed themselves to sati . Two wives committed sati when Sikh King Kharak Singh died , and five women joined the funeral pyre of Maharaja Basant Singh . When Raja Suchet Singh died in 1844 , 310 women committed sati . Sikh theology does not support the sati practice , however , as is evidenced by the criticism of the practice by the 3rd Sikh Guru Guru Amar Das ( 1479 -- 1554 ) . In ancient texts of Jainism , such as the Kalpa Sūtra the term Sati is found , and it means `` virtuous woman '' . Many texts include a list of sixteen Satis , ancient women that represent auspiciousness and virtue , names revered in the mythology of Hinduism as well . The connotation of the term Sati , states M Whitney Kelting , means the same `` virtuousness , chaste , dedication to her family '' as in Hinduism , and in both cases , it is different from the associated practice called suttee during colonial British India . Evidence suggests that there were instances of Sati practice ( self immolation ) by Jain women , including some in the 19th century . In the Epigraphia Carnatica , two of the 41 cases of sati in the time period 1400 to 1600 CE are those of Jain women . The low numbers of Jains known to have committed sati suggests that the practice was uncommon within this community . In Jainism , the alternate competing phenomenon of widows becoming nuns , after a husband 's death , has been recorded . In Bihar , the Muslim widows were stated to be carrying out a related practice . Buchanan Hamilton in his early 19th century Shahabad report wrote that Sati - like practice had spread to Muhammadans because he had heard that a widow had herself buried in the coffin of her dead husband . Models for the spread of sati ( edit ) Altekar 's chronology ( edit ) The earlier historian Anant Sadashiv Altekar , in his ( 1938 ) The Position of Women in Hindu Civilization From Prehistoric Times to the Present Day held the position that the Vedic Age saw an active discontinuation of pre-historic burning of widows , on basis that a 1000 BCE funerary custom describes that of symbolic sati , where the widow lies down by her deceased husband , but is then bidden to rise again , to enjoy the bliss of children and wealth remaining for her . In the following , a brief sketch on the chronology on the spread of sati , as proposed by Altekar is given . According to Altekar , there is no mention of actual sati in the period of Brahmana literature ( c. 1500 -- 700 BCE ) and the later Grhyusutras , roughly composed 600 -- 300 BCE on a number of rituals , but sati is not described or mentioned . In fact , what is written about funeral customs , is that the widow is brought back from the funeral pyre , typically by a trusted servant . Altekar thinks it significant that Gautama Buddha , who castigated customs of animal sacrifice , and other customs where pain was inflicted , is entirely silent about burning women alive . Altekar takes these elements as proofs that burning widows alive had long ago died out as a practice . Nor do the authors of the Dharmasutras ( c. 400 BCE -- 100 BCE ) or Yajnavalkya ( c. 100 CE -- 300 CE ) say anything about it being commendable to burn a widow alive on her husband 's funeral pyre . Although we have late fourth - century BCE evidence from Greek authors and the Mahabharata for the ' existence ' of the custom of sati , Altekar thinks it did not really begin to grow in popularity before 400 CE , by the manner of which it is infrequently mentioned in the Puranas of that time . A very early attested case from 510 CE is that of the wife of Goparaja , who immolated herself with her dead husband , according to the Eran inscription of king Bhanugupta , with another similar case attested from 606 CE . As the custom grew in popularity , Altekar highlights as determined opponents of this aristocratic custom in particular 7th - century poet Bāṇabhaṭṭa , but also 9th - century theologian Medhātithi and 12th - century Devana Bhatta . In Altekar 's view , their crusades against the custom were largely unsuccessful . According to Altekar , it is the period c. 700 -- 1100 CE that sees sati becoming really widespread in India , in particular in Kashmir . As the centuries wore on , Altekar provides a few statistics on the spread of the custom . In Rajputana , a later stronghold for sati there are two , possibly three reliably attested cases before 1000 CE . For the period from 1200 to 1600 CE , there are at least 20 such cases . For the Carnatic , we have about 11 inscriptions relative to sati from 1000 to 1400 CE ; for 1400 - 1600 CE we have 41 . Thus , a main view that Altekar espoused is that the spread of sati increased over time ( with local variations , for example reductions in territories governed by zealous rulers hostile to the practice ) , and probably was close to a maximum when the British began to intervene in the first decades of the nineteenth century . Modern causative models ( edit ) How , when , where and why the practice of sati spread are complex and much debated questions , without a consensus . According to one model , proposed by Yang , taking into account the association of sati with the warrior elite in particular , sati only became really widespread during the Muslim invasions of India , and the practice of sati now acquired an additional meaning as a means to preserve the honour of women whose men had been slain . Sashi states , `` the argument is that the practice came into effect during the Islamic invasion of India , to protect their honour from Muslims who were known to commit mass rape on the women of cities that they could capture successfully . '' Satigal ( sati stone ) near Kedareshvara Temple , Balligavi , Karnataka However , this theory does not address the evidence of occasional incidences of sati in pre-Islamic times . The first archeological evidence in the form of Sati stones extolling Sati appear around 700 CE , states John Hawley , including the great sati stones ( ma sati kal ) from 8th through 15th - century CE and hero - stones ( `` virgal '' ) from the 12th and 13th century . The practice remained limited to the warrior class among Hindus until the start of 2nd millennium CE . During the period of Muslim - Hindu conflict , Rajputs performed a distinct form of sati known as jauhar as a direct response to the onslaught they experienced . The earliest Islamic invasions of South Asia have been recorded from the early 8th century CE such as with the raids of Muhammad bin Qasim , and major wars of Islamic expansion after the 10th century . This chronology has led to the theory that the increase in sati practice in India may be related to the centuries of Islamic invasion and its expansion in South Asia . Alternate theories for the spread of sati include it expanding from Kshatriya caste to others castes , not because of wars , but on its own , as part of `` Sanskritization '' and cultural phenomenon that conflated sati as a caste status symbol . This theory has been challenged because it does not explain the spread of sati from Kashatriyas to Brahmins , and Brahmins were not considered to be of inferior caste status than Kshatriyas . Another theory , by Hawley , is that sati started as a `` nonreligious , ruling - class , patriarchal '' ideology but later spread as a gilded status symbol of `` valor '' , `` honor '' and `` purity '' , representing strength and courage in internecine Rajput wars , and after Muslim invasions where Hindu women feared becoming the `` booty for the captor '' and committed jauhar and sati to avoid `` rape , torture and other ignominies '' . The above theories do not explain how and why sati practice continued during the colonial era , particularly in significant numbers in colonial Bengal Presidency ( modern Bihar , Jharkhand , West Bengal , Bangladesh and Assam ) . Three theories have been proposed : first that sati was believed to be supported by Hindu scriptures by the 19th century , second that sati was encouraged by unscrupulous neighbors because it was a means of property annexation from a widow who had the right to inherit her dead husband 's property under Hindu law and sati helped eliminate the inheritor , and third theory being that poverty was so extreme during the 19th century that sati was a means of escape for a woman with no means or hope of survival . Daniel Grey states that the understanding of origins and spread of sati were distorted in the colonial era because of a concerted effort to push `` problem Hindu '' theories in the 19th and early 20th centuries . Mughal Empire ( edit ) A painting by Mohammad Rizā showing Hindu princess committing suttee against the wishes but reluctant approval of the Emperor Akbar . In the right foreground , attending the Sati on horseback , is the third son of Akbar , Prince Dāniyāl . According to Annemarie Schimmel , the Mughal Emperor Akbar was averse to the practice of Sati ; however , he expressed his admiration for `` widows who wished to be cremated with their deceased husbands '' . He was averse to abuse , and in 1582 , Akbar issued an order to prevent any use of compulsion in sati . According to M. Reza Pirbhai , a professor of South Asian and World history , it is unclear if a prohibition on sati was issued by Akbar , and other than a claim of ban by Monserrate upon his insistence , no other primary sources mention an actual ban . Instances of sati continued during and after the era of Akbar . For example , according to a poem , Sūz u gudāz ( `` Burning and melting '' ) by Muhammad Riza Nau'i of Khasbushan ( d . 1610 ) , Akbar attempted to prevent a sati by calling a widow before him and offering her wealth and protection . The poet reports hearing the story from Prince Dāniyāl , Akbar 's third son . According to Arvind Sharma , a professor of Comparative Religion specializing on Hinduism , the widow `` rejected all this persuasion as well as the counsel of the Brahmans , and would neither speak nor hear of anything but the Fire '' . Jahangir , who succeeded Akbar in the early 17th century , found sati prevalent among the Muslims of Rajaur ( Kashmir ) . They had been converted to Islam by Sultan Firoz . During this era , many Muslims and Hindus were ambivalent about the practice , with Muslim attitude leaning towards disapproval . According to Sharma , the evidence nevertheless suggests that sati was universally admired , and both `` Hindus and Muslims went in large numbers to witness a sati '' . According to Reza Pirbhai , the memoirs of Jahangir suggest sati continued in his regime , was practiced by Hindus and Muslims , he was fascinated by the custom , and that those Kashmiri Muslim widows who practiced sati either immolated themselves or buried themselves alive with their dead husbands . Jahangir prohibited such sati and other customary practices in Kashmir . Aurangzeb issued another order in 1663 , states Sheikh Muhammad Ikram , after returning from Kashmir , `` in all lands under Mughal control , never again should the officials allow a woman to be burnt '' . The Aurangzeb order , states Ikram , though not mentioned in the formal histories , is recorded in the official records of Aurangzeb 's time . Although Aurangzeb 's orders could be evaded with payment of bribes to officials , adds Ikram , later European travelers record that sati was not much practiced in Mughal empire , and that Sati was `` very rare , except it be some Rajah 's wives , that the Indian women burn at all '' by the end of Aurangzeb 's reign . The memoirs of European merchants and travelers , as well the colonial era Christian missionaries of British India described Sati practices under Mughal rulers . The Spanish missionary Domingo Navarrete wrote in 1670 of different styles of Sati during Aurangzeb 's time . British and other European colonial powers ( edit ) A Hindu widow burning herself with the corpse of her husband , 1820s by the London - based illustrator Frederic Shoberl from traveller accounts . Non-british colonial powers in India ( edit ) The Portuguese banned the practice in Goa after the conquest of Goa , however the practice continued in the region . The Dutch and the French banned it in Chinsurah and Pondichéry , their respective colonies . The Danes , who held the small territories of Tranquebar and Serampore , permitted it until the 19th century . The Danish strictly forbade , apparently early the custom of sati at Tranquebar , a colony they held from 1620 - 1845 ( whereas Serampore ( Frederiksnagore ) was Danish colony merely from 1755 - 1845 ) . Early British Policy ( edit ) Suttee , by James Atkinson 1831 Widow Burning in India ( August 1852 ) , by the Wesleyan Missionary Society . Attempts to limit or ban the practice had been made by individual British officers in the 18th century , but without the backing of the British East India Company . The first formal British ban was imposed in 1798 , in the city of Calcutta only . The practice continued in surrounding regions . In the beginning of the 19th century , the evangelical church in Britain , and its members in India , started campaigns against sati . Leaders of these campaigns included William Carey and William Wilberforce . These movements put pressure on the company to ban the act . William Carey , and the other missionaries at Serampore conducted in 1803 -- 04 a census on cases of sati for a region within a 30 - mile radius of Calcutta , finding more than 300 such cases there . The missionaries also approached Hindu theologians , who opined that the practice was encouraged , rather than enjoined by the Hindu scriptures . Serampore was a Danish colony , rather than British , and the reason why Carey started his mission in Danish India , rather than in British , was because The East India Company did not accept Christian missionary activity within their domains . In 1813 , in a speech to the House of Commons , William Wilberforce , with particular reference to the statistics on sati collected by Carey and the other Serampore missionaries , forced through a bill that made Christian missionary preaching in British India legal , to combat such perceived social evils as sati . Elijah Hoole in his book Personal Narrative of a Mission to the South of India , from 1820 to 1828 reports an instance of Sati at Bangalore , which he did not personally witness . Another missionary , Mr. England , reports witnessing Sati in the Bangalore Civil and Military Station on 9 June 1826 . However , these practices were very rare after the Government of Madras cracked down on the practice from the early 1800s ( p. 82 ) . The British authorities within the Bengal Presidency started systematically to collect figures on the practice in 1815 . Principal reformers and 1829 ban ( edit ) Plaque of Last Legal Sati of Bengal , Scottish Church College , Kolkata The ban on Sati , effected by Lord William Bentinck in 1829 , was largely due to the efforts of both Christian and Hindu reformers such as William Carey and Ram Mohan Roy . In 1799 Carey , a Baptist missionary from England , first witnessed the burning of a widow on her husband 's funeral pyre . Horrified by the practice , Carey and his coworkers Joshua Marshman and William Ward opposed sati from that point onward , lobbying for its abolishment . Known as the Serampore Trio , they published essays forcefully condemning the practice and presented an address against Sati to then Governor General of India , Lord Wellesley . In 1812 Raja Ram Mohan Roy , founder of Brahmo Samaj , began to champion the cause of banning sati practice . He was motivated by the experience of seeing his own sister - in - law being forced to commit sati . He visited Kolkata 's cremation grounds to persuade widows against immolation , formed watch groups to do the same , sought the support of other elite Bengali classes , and wrote and disseminated articles to show that it was not required by Hindu scripture . He was at loggerheads with Hindu groups which did not want the Government to interfere in religious practices . From 1815 - 1818 Sati deaths doubled . Ram Mohan Roy launched an attack on Sati that `` aroused such anger that for awhile his life was in danger '' In 1821 he published a tract opposing Sati , and in 1823 the Serampore missionaries led by Carey published a book containing their earlier essays , of which the first three chapters opposed Sati . Another Christian missionary published a tract against Sati in 1927 . Sahajanand Swami , the founder of the Swaminarayan sect , preached against the practice of sati in his area of influence , that is Gujarat . He argued that the practice had no Vedic standing and only God could take a life he had given . He also opined that widows could lead lives that would eventually lead to salvation . Sir John Malcolm , the Governor of Bombay supported Sahajanand Swami in this endeavor . In 1828 Lord William Bentinck came to power as Governor of India . When he landed in Calcutta , he said that he felt `` the dreadful responsibility hanging over his head in this world and the next , if ... he was to consent to the continuance of this practice ( sati ) one moment longer . '' Bentinck decided to put an immediate end to Sati . Ram Mohan Roy warned Bentinck against abruptly ending Sati . However , after observing that the judges in the courts were unanimously in favor of it , Bentinck proceeded to lay the draft before his council . Charles Metcalfe , the Governor 's most prominent counselor expressed apprehension that the banning of Sati might be `` used by the disaffected and designing '' as `` an engine to produce insurrection . '' However these concerns did n't deter him from upholding the Governor 's decision `` in the suppression of the horrible custom by which so many lives are cruelly sacrificed . '' Thus on Sunday morning of December 4 , 1829 Lord Bentinck issued Regulation XVII declaring Sati to be illegal and punishable in criminal courts . It was presented to William Carey for translation . His response is recorded as follows : `` Springing to his feet and throwing off his black coat he cried , ' No church for me to - day ... If I delay an hour to translate and publish this , many a widow 's life may be sacrificed , ' he said . By evening the task was finished . '' On February 2nd 1830 this law was extended to Madras and Bombay . The ban was challenged by a petition signed by `` several thousand ... Hindoo inhabitants of Bihar , Bengal , Orissa etc '' and the matter went to the Privy Council in London . Along with British supporters , Ram Mohan Roy presented counter-petitions to parliament in support of ending Sati . The Privy Council rejected the petition in 1832 , and the ban on Sati was upheld . After the ban , priests in Sindh region complained that the British colonial government was interfering with the rare local sati custom . Charles Napier clarified in 1843 that anyone involved in this custom would be executed and their property confiscated . According to an account of his administration , there were no more sati thereafter , in the region Napier administered . Princely states ( edit ) Sati Stone from the 18th century CE , now at the British Museum . Sati remained legal in some princely states for a time after it had been banned in lands under British control . Baroda and other princely states of Kathiawar Agency banned the practice in 1840 , whereas Kolhapur followed them in 1841 , the princely state of Indore some time before 1843 . According to a speaker at the East India House in 1842 , the princely states of Satara , Kingdom of Nagpur and Mysore had by then banned sati . Jaipur banned the practice in 1846 , while Hyderabad , Gwalior and Jammu and Kashmir did the same in 1847 . Awadh and Bhopal were actively suppressing sati by 1849 . Cutch outlawed it in 1852 with Jodhpur having banned sati about the same time . The 1846 abolition in Jaipur was regarded by many British as a catalyst for the abolition cause within the Rajputana ; within 4 months after Jaipur 's 1846 ban , 11 of the 18 independently governed states in Rajputana had followed Jaipur 's example . One paper says that in the year 1846 - 1847 alone , 23 states in the whole of India ( not just within Rajputana ) had banned sati . It was not before 1861 sati was legally banned in all princely states of India , Mewar resisting for a long time before that time . The last legal case within princely states was from 1861 Udaipur the capital of Mewar , but as Anant S. Altekar shows , local opinion had then shifted strongly against the practice . All the widows of Maharanna Sarup Singh flatly refused to become sati when asked , and the one who was burnt with him was a slave girl . Later the same year , the general ban on sati was issued by a proclamation from Queen Victoria . Some princely states , such as the major Salute state of Travancore , were perceived not to ever have sanctioned sati within their domains . For example , the regent Gowri Parvati Bayi was asked by the British Resident if he should permit a sati to take place in 1818 , but the regent urged him not to do so , since the custom of sati had never been acceptable in her domains . In another state , Sawunt Waree ( Sawantvadi ) , the king Khemsawant III ( r . 1755 -- 1803 ) is credited for having issued a positive prohibition of sati over a period of ten or twelve years . That prohibition from the 18th century may have lapsed , since in 1843 , the government in Sawunt Waree issued a new prohibition of sati . Modern Times ( edit ) Legislative status of sati in Present - Day India ( edit ) `` Ceremony of Burning a Hindu Widow with the Body of her Late Husband '' , from Pictorial History of China and India , 1851 . Following the outcry after the sati of Roop Kanwar , the Indian Government enacted the Rajasthan Sati Prevention Ordinance , 1987 on 1 October 1987 and later passed the Commission of Sati ( Prevention ) Act , 1987 . The Commission of Sati ( Prevention ) Act , 1987 Part I , Section 2 ( c ) defines sati as : The burning or burying alive of -- ( i ) any widow along with the body of her deceased husband or any other relative or with any article , object or thing associated with the husband or such relative ; or ( ii ) any woman along with the body of any of her relatives , irrespective of whether such burning or burying is claimed to be voluntary on the part of the widow or the women or otherwise A shrine to wives of the Maharajas of Jodhpur who have committed sati . The palmprints are typical . The Prevention of Sati Act makes it illegal to support , glorify or attempt to commit sati . Support of sati , including coercing or forcing someone to commit sati , can be punished by death sentence or life imprisonment , while glorifying sati is punishable with one to seven years in prison . Enforcement of these measures is not always consistent . The National Council for Women ( NCW ) has suggested amendments to the law to remove some of these flaws . Prohibitions of certain practices , such as worship at ancient shrines , is a matter of controversy . Current situation ( edit ) There have been 30 cases of sati or attempted sati over a 44 - year period ( 1943 - 1987 ) in India , the official number being 28 . A well - documented case from 1987 was that of 18 - year - old Roop Kanwar . In response to this incident , additional legislation against sati practice was passed , first within the state of Rajasthan , then nationwide by the central government of India . In 2002 , a 65 - year - old woman by the name of Kuttu died after sitting on her husband 's funeral pyre in the Indian Panna district . On 18 May 2006 , Vidyawati , a 35 - year - old woman allegedly committed sati by jumping into the blazing funeral pyre of her husband in Rari - Bujurg Village , Fatehpur district in the State of Uttar Pradesh . On 21 August 2006 , Janakrani , a 40 - year - old woman , burned to death on the funeral pyre of her husband Prem Narayan in Sagar district ; Janakrani had not been forced or prompted by anybody to commit the act . On 11 October 2008 a 75 - year - old woman , Lalmati Verma , committed sati by jumping into her 80 - year - old husband 's funeral pyre at Checher in the Kasdol block of Chhattisgarh 's Raipur district ; Verma killed herself after mourners had left the cremation site . Scholars debate whether these rare reports of sati suicide by widows are related to culture or are examples of mental illness and suicide such as those found among women worldwide . In the case of Roop Kanwar , Dinesh Bhugra states that there is a possibility that the suicides could be triggered by `` a state of depersonalization as a result of severe bereavement '' , then adds that it is unlikely that Kanwar had mental illness and culture likely played a role . However , Colucci and Lester state that none of the women reported by media to have committed sati had been given a psychiatric evaluation before their sati suicide and thus there is no objective data to ascertain if culture or mental illness was the primary driver behind their suicide . Inamdar , Oberfield and Darrell state that the women who commit sati are often `` childless or old and face miserable impoverished lives '' which combined with great stress from the loss of the only personal support may be the cause of a widow 's suicide . Practice ( edit ) Accounts describe numerous variants in the sati ritual . The majority of accounts describe the woman seated or lying down on the funeral pyre beside her dead husband . Many other accounts describe women walking or jumping into the flames after the fire had been lit , and some describe women seating themselves on the funeral pyre and then lighting it themselves . Variations in procedure ( edit ) Although sati is typically thought of as consisting of the procedure in which the widow is placed , or enters , or jumps , upon the funeral pyre of her husband , slight variations in funeral practice have been reported here as well , by region . For example , the mid-17th - century traveler Tavernier claims that in some regions , the sati occurred by construction of a small hut , within which the widow and her husband were burnt , while in other regions , a pit was dug , in which the husband 's corpse was placed along with flammable materials , into which the widow jumped after the fire had started . In mid-nineteenth - century Lombok , an island in today 's Indonesia , the local Balinese aristocracy practiced widow suicide on occasion ; but only widows of royal descent could burn themselves alive ( others were stabbed to death by a kris knife first ) . At Lombok , a high bamboo platform was erected in front of the fire and , when the flames were at their strongest , the widow climbed up the platform and dived into the fire . Live burials ( edit ) Hindus only bury the bodies of those under the age of two . Those older than two are customarily cremated . A few European accounts provide rare descriptions of Indian sati that included the burial of the widow with her dead husband . Jean - Baptiste Tavernier , a 17th - century world traveller and trader of gems , wrote that women were buried with their dead husbands along the Coast of Coromandel while people danced during the cremation rites . The 18th - century Flemish painter Frans Balthazar Solvyns provided the only known eyewitness account of an Indian sati involving a burial . Solvyns states that the custom included the woman shaving her head , music and the event was guarded by East India Trading company officials . He expresses admiration for the Hindu woman , but also calls the custom barbaric . The Commission of Sati ( Prevention ) Act , 1987 Part I , Section 2 ( c ) includes within its definition of sati not just the act of burning a widow alive , but also that of burying her alive . Compulsion ( edit ) Sati is often described as voluntary , although in some cases it may have been forced . In one narrative account in 1785 , the widow appears to have been drugged either with bhang or opium and was tied to the pyre which would have prevented her from escaping the fire , if she changed her mind . `` A Hindu Suttee '' , 1885 book The British local press of the time proffered several accounts of alleged forcing of the woman . As an example , The Calcutta Review published accounts as the following one : In 1822 , the Salt Agent at Barripore , 16 miles south of Calcutta , went out of his way to report a case which he had witnessed , in which the woman was forcibly held down by a great bamboo by two men , so as to preclude all chance of escape . In Cuttack , a woman dropt herself into a burning pit , and rose up again as if to escape , when a washerman gave her a push with a bamboo , which sent her back into the hottest part of the fire . This is said to be based on the set of official documents . Yet another such case appearing in official papers , transmitted into British journals , is case 41 , page 411 here , where the woman was , apparently , thrown twice back in the fire by her relatives , in a case from 1821 . Apart from accounts of direct compulsion , some evidence exists that precautions , at times , were taken so that the widow could not escape the flames once they were lit . Anant S. Altekar , for example , points out that it is much more difficult to escape a fiery pit you 've jumped in , than descending from a pyre you have entered on . He mentions the custom of the fiery pit as particularly prevalent in the Deccan and western India . From Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh , where the widow typically was placed in a hut along with her husband , her leg was tied to one of the hut 's pillars . Finally , from Bengal , where the tradition of the pyre held sway , the widow 's feet could be tied to posts fixed to the ground , she was asked three times if she wished to ascend to heaven , before the flames were lit . The historian Anant Sadashiv Altekar states that some historical records suggest without doubt that instances of sati were forced , but overall the evidence suggests most instances were a voluntary act on the woman 's part . Symbolic sati ( edit ) Funeral custom ( edit ) There have been accounts of symbolic sati in some Hindu communities . A widow lies down next to her dead husband , and certain parts of both the marriage ceremony and the funeral ceremonies are enacted , but without her death . An example in Sri Lanka is attested from modern times Although this form of symbolic sati has contemporary evidence , it should by no means be regarded as a modern invention . For example , the ancient and sacred Atharvaveda , one of the four Vedas , believed to have been composed around 1000 BCE , describes a funerary ritual where the widow lies down by her deceased husband , but is then asked to descend , to enjoy the blessings from the children and wealth left to her . Jivit tradition ( edit ) In 20th - century India , a tradition developed of venerating jivit ( living satis ) . A jivit is a woman who once desired to commit sati , but lives after having sacrificed her desire to die . Two famous jivit were Bala Satimata , and Umca Satimata , both living until the early 1990s . Prevalence ( edit ) Records of sati exist across the subcontinent . However , there seems to have been major differences historically , in different regions , and among communities . Furthermore , no reliable figures exist for the numbers who have died by sati , in general . The bride throws herself on her husband 's funeral pyre . This miniature painting made in Iran originates from the period of the Safavid dynasty , first half 17th century . ( Attributed to the painter Muhammad Qasim . ) Numbers ( edit ) An 1829 report by a Christian missionary organization includes among other things , statistics on sati . It begins with a declaration that `` the object of all missions to the heathen is to substitute for these systems the Gospel of Christ '' , thereafter lists sati for each year over the period 1815 - 1824 which totals 5,369 , followed by a statement that a total of 5,997 instances of women were burned or buried alive in the Bengal presidency over the 10 - year period , i.e. , average 600 per year . In the same report , it states that the Madras and Bombay presidencies totaled 635 instances of sati over the same ten - year period . The 1829 missionary report does not provide its sources and acknowledges that `` no correct idea can be formed of the number of murders occasioned by suttees '' , then states some of the statistics is based on `` conjectures '' . According to Yang , these `` numbers are fraught with problems '' . William Bentinck , in an 1829 report , stated without specifying the year or period , that `` of the 463 satis occurring in the whole of the Presidency of Fort William , 420 took place in Bengal , Behar , and Orissa , or what is termed the Lower Provinces , and of these latter 287 in the Calcutta Division alone '' . For the Upper Provinces , Bentinck added , `` in these Provinces the satis amount to forty three only upon a population of nearly twenty millions '' , i.e. , average one sati per 465,000 . Social composition and age distribution ( edit ) Anand Yang , speaking of the early nineteenth century CE , says that contrary to conventional wisdom , sati was not , in general , confined to being an upper class phenomenon , but spread through the classes / castes . In the 575 reported cases from 1823 , for example , 41 percent were Brahmins , some 6 percent were Kshatriyas , whereas 2 percent were Vaishiyas , and 51 percent Sudras . In Banaras , though , in the 1815 - 1828 British records , the upper castes were only for two years represented with less than 70 % of the total ; in 1821 , all sati were from the upper castes there . Yang notes that many studies seem to emphasize the young age of the widows who committed sati . However , by study of the British figures from 1815 to 1828 , Yang states the overwhelming majority were ageing women : The statistics from 1825 to 1826 about two thirds were above the age of 40 when committing sati . Regional variations of incidence ( edit ) Anand Yang summarizes the regional variation in incidence of sati as follows : ... the practice was never generalized ... but was confined to certain areas : in the north , ... the Gangetic Valley , Punjab and Rajasthan ; in the west , to the southern Konkan region ; and in the south , to Madurai and Vijayanagar . Konkan / Maharashtra ( edit ) Narayan H. Kulkarnee believes that sati became to be practiced in medieval days Maharashtra initially by the Maratha nobility claiming Rajput descent . Then , according to Kulkarnee , the practice of sati may have increased across caste distinctions as an honour saving custom in the face of Muslim advances into the territory . But , the practice never gained the type of prevalence as seen in Rajasthan or Bengal , and social customs of actively dissuading a widow from committing sati are well established . Apparently not a single instance of sati are attested for the 17th and 18th centuries CE . Vijayanagara Empire ( edit ) The sati stone evidence from the time of the empire is regarded as relatively rare ; only about 50 are clearly identified as such . Thus , Carla M. Sinopoli , citing Verghese , says that despite the attention European travellers paid the phenomenon , it should be regarded as having been fairly uncommon during the time of the Vijayanagara empire . Madurai ( edit ) Sangam literature ( 200 BCE ) mentions the Sati of a Chola queen . The Madurai Nayak dynasty , reigning 1529 - 1736 CE seems to have adopted the custom in larger measure ; one Jesuit priest observing in 1609 Madurai the burning of 400 women at the death of Nayak Muttu Krishnappa . Kongu Nadu ( edit ) Kongu Nadu region of Tamil Nadu has the highest number of Veera Maha Sati ( வீரமாசதி ) or Veeramathy temples ( வீரமாத்தி ) from all the native Kongu castes . Kongu Nadu ( edit ) Kongu Nadu region of Tamil Nadu has the highest number of Veera Maha Satis ( வீரமாசதி ) or Veeramathys ( வீரமாத்தி ) in South India . Sangam literature talk about the Sati of a Chola queen . Princely state of Mysore ( edit ) Established in 1799 , a few records exist from the Princely State of Mysore that say permission to commit sati could be granted . Dewan ( prime minister ) Purnaiah is said to have allowed it for a Brahmin widow in 1805 , whereas an 1827 eye - witness to the burning of a widow in Bangalore in 1827 says it was rather uncommon there . Gangetic plain ( edit ) In the Upper Gangetic plain , while it occurred , there is no indication that it was especially widespread . The earliest known attempt by a government to stop the practice took place here , that of Muhammad Tughlaq , in the Sultanate of Delhi in the 14th century . In the Lower Gangetic plain , the practice may have reached a high level fairly late in history . According to available evidence and the existing reports of the occurrences of it , the greatest incidence of sati in any region and period , in total numbers , occurred in Bengal and Bihar in the late 18th and early 19th centuries . Nepal and Bali ( edit ) The earliest stone inscription in South Asia relating to sati has been found in Nepal , dated to be from the 5th century , wherein the king successfully persuades his mother to not commit sati when his father died . This inscription suggests that sati practice was known but not compelled . Nepal formally banned sati in 1920 . On the Indonesian island of Bali , sati ( known as masatya ) was practised by the aristocracy as late as 1903 , until the Dutch colonial masters pushed for its termination , forcing the local Balinese princes to sign treaties containing the prohibition of sati as one of the clauses . Early Dutch observers of the particular Balinese custom in the 17th century said that only widows , themselves of royal blood , were to be burned alive . Concubines or others of inferior blood lines consenting to die with their princely husband could choose to be stabbed to death before burning .

Essentially , a woman on the path to become a sati goes through three stages being pativrata during her husband 's life , who , at his death , makes a solemn vow to burn by his side , gaining status as sativrata and finally , having endured being burnt alive , achieving the status of satimata . Pativrata ( edit ) The dutiful wife , the pativrata , is devoted and subservient to her husband , and also protective of him . If he dies before her , some culpability is attached to her for his death , as not having been sufficiently protective of him . Making the vow to burn alive beside him removes her own culpability , as well as within the afterlife , enables her to protect him from new dangers . Sativrata ( edit ) In Harlan 's model , having made the holy vow to burn herself transforms the woman to a sativrata , a transitional stage between the living and the dead , before ascending the funeral pyre . Once a woman committed herself to become sati , popular belief thought her to become endowed with many supernatural powers . Lourens P. Van Den Bosch enumerates some of them . The sati would gain the powers of prophecy and clairvoyance , as well as the ability to bless women with sons , who had not borne sons before . The gifts from a sati were venerated as valuable relics , and in her journey to the pyre , people would seek to touch her garments to benefit from her powers . Lindsey Harlan probes deeper into the sativrata stage : As a transitional figure on her path to become a powerful family protector as satimata , the sativrata dictates the terms , and obligations the family must fulfill in order for her to protect them once she has become satimata , by showing reverence to her by observing the conditions . These are generally called ok . A typical example of an ok is to place a restriction on the type of colours used in the family members 's clothing , or to forbid the use of some particular type of clothing . What can be termed curses , shrap is also within the sativrata 's power , understood to be a severe teaching to members of her family in how they have failed . One woman cursed her in - laws when they refused to bring neither a horse or a drummer to her pyre , saying that whenever in the future might have need of either ( and many religious rituals requires such a presence ) , it would not be available to them . Satimata ( edit ) After her death on the pyre , the woman is finally transformed into the shape of the satimata , an spiritual embodiment of goodness , with her principal concern of being a family protector . Typically , the satimata occurs in the dreams of the family members , teaching for example , the women how to be good pativratas , herself through her sacrifice having proved she was the perfect pativrata . However , although the satimata 's intentions are always for the good of the family , she is not averse to let , for example , children become sick , or the cows ' udders wither , if she thinks this is an appropriate lesson to the living wife who had neglected her duties as pativrata . In scriptures ( edit ) David Brick , in his 2010 review of ancient Indian literature , states There is no mention of sahagamana ( sati ) whatsoever in either Vedic literature or any of the early Dharmasutras or Dharmasastras . By `` early Dharmasutras or Dharmasastras '' , I refer specifically to both the early Dharmasutras of Apastamba , Hiranyakesin , Gautama , Baudhayana and Vasistha , and the later Dharmasastras of Manu , Narada , and Yajnavalkya . -- David Brick , Yale University The earliest scholarly discussion of sati , whether it is right or wrong , is found in the Sanskrit literature dated to 10th - to 12th - century . The earliest known commentary on sati by Medhatithi of Kashmir argues that sati is a form of suicide , which is prohibited by the Vedic tradition . Vijnanesvara , of the 12th - century Chalukya court , and the 13th - century Madhvacharya , argue that sati should not to be considered suicide , which was otherwise variously banned or discouraged in the scriptures . They offer a combination of reasons , both in favor and against sati . In the following , a historical chronology is given of the debate within Hinduism on the topic of sati . The oldest Vedic texts ( edit ) The most ancient texts still revered among Hindus today are the Vedas , where the Saṃhitās are the most ancient , four collections roughly dated in their composition to 1700 -- 1100 BCE . In two of these collections , the Rigveda and the Atharvaveda there is material relevant to the discussion of sati . In the Rig Veda ( edit ) Claims about the mention of sati in Rig Veda vary . There are differing interpretations of one of the passages which goes : इमा नारीरविधवाः सुपत्नीराञ्जनेन सर्पिषा संविशन्तु अनश्रवो. अनमीवाः सुरत्ना आ रोहन्तु जनयोयोनिमग्रे ( RV 10.18. 7 ) This passage and especially the last of these words has been interpretated in different ways , as can be seen from various English translations : May these women , who are not widows , who have good husbands , who are mothers , enter with unguents and clarified butter : without tears , without sorrow , let them first go up into the dwelling . ( Wilson , 1856 ) Let these women , whose husbands are worthy and are living , enter the house with ghee ( applied ) as collyrium ( to their eyes ) . Let these wives first step into the pyre , tearless without any affliction and well adorned . ( Kane , 1941 ) Verse 7 itself , unlike verse 8 , does not mention widowhood , but the meaning of the syllables yoni ( literally `` seat , abode '' ) have been rendered as `` go up into the dwelling `` ( by Wilson ) , as `` step into the pyre `` ( by Kane ) , as `` mount the womb `` ( by Jamison / Brereton ) and as `` go up to where he lieth `` ( by Griffith ) . A reason given for the discrepancy in translation and interpretation of verse 10.18. 7 , is that one consonant in a word that meant house , yonim agree ( '' foremost to the yoni `` ) , was deliberately changed by those who wished claim scriptural justification , to a word that meant fire , yomiagne . In addition , the following verse , which is unambiguously about widows , contradicts any suggestion of the woman 's death ; it explicitly states that the widow should return to her house . उदीर्ष्व नार्यभि जीवलोकं गतासुमेतमुप शेष एहि हस्तग्राभस्य दिधिषोस्तवेदं पत्युर्जनित्वमभि सम्बभूथ ( RV 10.18. 8 ) Rise , come unto the world of life , O woman -- come , he is lifeless by whose side thou liest . Wifehood with this thy husband was thy portion , who took thy hand and wooed thee as a lover . Dehejia states that Vedic literature has no mention of any practice resembling Sati . There is only one mention in the Vedas , of a widow lying down beside her dead husband who is asked to leave the grieving and return to the living , then prayer is offered for a happy life for her with children and wealth . Dehejia writes that this passage does not imply a pre-existing sati custom , nor of widow remarriage , nor that it is authentic verse because its solitary mention may also be explained as a later date insertion into the text . Dehejia writes that no ancient or early medieval era Buddhist texts mention sati , and if the practice existed it would likely have been condemned by these texts . 1st - millennium BCE texts ( edit ) Religious texts ( edit ) David Brick , a professor of South Asia Studies , states that neither sati nor equivalent terms such as sahagamana are ever mentioned in any Vedic literature ( Samhitas , Brahmanas , Aranyakas , Upanishads ) , or in any of the early Dharmasutras or Dharmasastras . The Brahmana literature , one of the layers within the ancient Vedic texts , dated about 1000 BCE -- 500 BCE are entirely silent about sati according to the historian Altekar . Similarly , the Grhyasutras , a body of text devoted to ritual , with composition date about the time of the youngest within Brahmana literature , sati is not mentioned , either . What is mentioned concerning funeral rites , though , is that the widow is to be brought back from her husband 's funeral pyre , either by his brother , or by a trusted servant . In the Taittiriya Aranyaka from about the same time , it is said that when leaving , the widow took from her husband 's side such objects as his bow , gold and jewels ( which previously would have been burnt with him ) , and a hope expressed that the widow and her relatives would lead a happy and prosperous life afterwards . According to Altekar , it is `` clear '' that the custom of actual widow burning had died out a long time previously at this stage . Nor is the practice of sati mentioned anywhere in the Dharmasutras , texts tentatively dated by Pandurang Vaman Kane to 600 - 100 BCE , while Patrick Olivelle thinks the bounds should be roughly 250 - 100 BCE instead Not only is sati not mentioned in Brahmana and Dharmasastra literature , Satapatha Brahmana explains that suicide by anyone is inappropriate ( adharmic ) . This Śruti prohibition became one of the several basis for arguments presented against sati by 11th - to 14th - century Hindu scholars such as Medhatithi of Kashmir , Therefore , one should not depart before one 's natural lifespan . -- Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa , 10.2. 6.7 Thus , in none of the principal religious texts believed composed before the Common Era is there any evidence at all for a sanctioning of the practice of sati . It is wholly unmentioned , although the archaic Atharvaveda do contain hints of a funeral practice of symbolic sati . In addition , the twelfth - century CE commentary of Apararka , claiming to quote the Dharmasutra text Apastamba , it says that the Apastamba prescribes that if a widow has made a vow of burning herself ( anvahorana , `` ascend the pyre '' ) , but then retracts her vow , she must expiate her sin by the penance ritual called Prajapatya - vrata Vālmīki Ramayana ( edit ) The oldest portion of the epic Ramayana , the Valmiki Ramayana , is tentatively dated for its composition by Robert P. Goldman to 750 -- 500 BCE . Anant S. Altekar says that no instances of sati occur in this earliest , archaic part of the whole Ramayana . According to Ramashraya Sharma , there is no conclusive evidence of the sati practice in the Ramayana . For instance , Tara , Mandodari and the widows of Ravana , all live after their respective husband 's deaths , though all of them announce their wish to die , while lamenting for their husbands . The first two remarry their brother - in - law . The only instance of sati appears in the Uttara Kanda -- believed to be a later addition to the original text -- in which Kushadhwaja 's wife performs sati . The Telugu adaptation of the Ramayana , the 14th - century Ranganatha Ramayana , tells that Sulochana , wife of Indrajit , became sati on his funeral pyre . Mahabharata ( edit ) Instances of sati are found in the Mahabharata . Madri , the second wife of Pandu , immolates herself . She believes she is responsible for his death , as he had been cursed with death if he ever had intercourse . He died while performing the forbidden act with Madri ; she blamed herself for not rejecting him , as she knew of the curse . Also , in the case of Madri the entire assembly of sages sought to dissuade her from the act , and no religious merit is attached to the fate she chooses against all advice . In the Musala - parvan of the Mahabharata , the four wives of Vasudeva are said to commit sati . Furthermore , as news of Krishna 's death reaches Hastinapur , five of his wives choose to burn themselves . Against these stray examples within the Mahabharata of sati , there are scores of instances in the same epic of widows who do not commit sati , none of them blamed for not doing so . Principal smrtis , c. 200 BCE -- 1200 CE ( edit ) The four works , Manusmṛti ( 200 BCE -- 200 CE ) , Yājñavalkya Smṛti ( 200 -- 500 CE ) , Nāradasmṛti ( 100 BCE -- 400 CE ) and the Viṣṇusmṛti ( 700 -- 1000 CE ) are the principal Smrti works in the Dharmaśāstra tradition , along with the Parasara Smrti , composed in the latter period , rather than in the earlier . Earliest phase , c. 200 BCE -- 700 CE ( edit ) The first three principal smrtis , those of Manu , Yājñavalkya and Nārada , do not contain any mention of sati . Emergence of Debate on sati , 700 CE -- 1200 CE ( edit ) Later smritis and sati ( edit ) Justifications for the practice are given in the Vishnu Smriti ( dated from 700 to 1000CE ) : When a woman 's husband has died , she should either practice ascetic celibacy or ascend ( the funeral pyre ) after him . -- Vishnu Smriti , 25.14 In contrast , Moriz Winternitz states that Brihaspati Smriti prohibits burning of widows . Brihaspati Smriti was authored after the three principal smritis of Manu , Yājñavalkya and Nārada . Passages of the Parasara Smriti say : If a woman adheres to a vow of ascetic celibacy ( brahmacarya ) after her husband has died , then when she dies , she obtains heaven , just like those who were celibate . Further , three and a half krores or however many hairs are on a human body -- for that long a time ( in years ) a woman who follows her husband ( in death ) shall dwell in heaven . -- Parasara Smriti , 4.29 - 31 Neither of these suggest sati as mandatory , but Parasara Smriti elaborates the benefits of sati in greater detail . Liberation versus ascension to heaven ( edit ) Within the dharmashastric tradition espousing sati as a justified , and even recommended , option to ascetic widowhood , there remained a curious conception worth noting the achieved status for a woman committing sati . Burning herself on the pyre would give her , and her husband , automatic , but not eternal , reception into heaven ( svarga ) , whereas only the wholly chaste widow living out her natural life span could hope for final liberation ( moksha ) and breaking the cycle of rebirth . Thus , acknowledging that performing sati only achieved an inferior otherworldy status than successful widowhood could achieve , sati became recommended when coupled with a dismissal of the effective possibility for a widow to remain truly chaste . Rules on Brahmin widows ( edit ) While some smriti passages allow sati as optional , others forbid the practice entirely . Vijñāneśvara ( c. 1076 -- 1127 ) , an early Dharmaśāstric scholar , claims that many smriti call for the prohibition of sati among Brahmin widows , but not among other social castes . Vijñāneśvara , quoting scriptures from Paithinasi and Angiras to support his argument , states : `` Due to Vedic injunction , a Brahmin woman should not follow her husband in death , but for the other social classes , tradition holds this to be the supreme Law of Women ... when a woman of Brahmin caste follows her husband in death , by killing herself she leaders neither herself nor her husband to heaven . '' However , as proof of the contradictory opinion of the smriti on sati , in his Mitākṣarā , Vijñāneśvara argues Brahmin women are technically only forbidden from performing sati on pyres other than those of their deceased husbands . Quoting the Yājñavalkya Smṛti , Vijñāneśvara states , `` a Brahmin woman ought not to depart by ascending a separate pyre . '' David Brick states that the Brahmin sati commentary suggests that the practice may have originated in the warrior and ruling class of medieval Indian society . In addition to providing arguments in support of sati , Vijñāneśvara offers arguments against the ritual . Those who supported the ritual , did however , put restrictions on sati . It was considered wrong for women who had young children to care for , those who were pregnant or menstruating . A woman who had doubts or did not wish to commit sati at the last moment , could be removed from the pyre by a man , usually a brother of the deceased or someone from her husband 's side of the family . Evolution over time ( edit ) David Brick , summarizing the historical evolution of scholarly debate on sati in medieval India , states : To summarize , one can loosely arrange Dharmasastic writings on sahagamana into three historical periods . In the first of these , which roughly corresponds to the second half of the 1st millennium CE , smrti texts that prescribe sahagamana begin to appear . However , during approximately this same period , other Brahmanical authors also compose a number of smrtis that proscribe this practice specifically in the case of Brahmin widows . Moreover , Medhatithi -- our earliest commentator to address the issue -- strongly opposes the practice for all women . Taken together , this textual evidence suggests that sahagamana was still quite controversial at this time . In the following period , opposition to this custom starts to weaken , as none of the later commentators fully endorses Medhatithi 's position on sahagamana . Indeed , after Vijnanesvara in the early twelfth century , the strongest position taken against sahagamana appears to be that it is an inferior option to brahmacarya ( ascetic celibacy ) , since its result is only heaven rather than moksa ( liberation ) . Finally , in the third period , several commentators refute even this attenuated objection to sahagamana , for they cite a previously unquoted smrti passage that specifically lists liberation as a result of the rite 's performance . They thereby claim that sahagamana is at least as beneficial an option for widows as brahmacarya and perhaps even more so , given the special praise it sometimes receives . These authors , however , consistently stop short of making it an obligatory act . Hence , the commentarial literature of the dharma tradition attests to a gradual shift from strict prohibition to complete endorsement in its attitude toward sahagamana . Legend of goddess sati ( edit ) Although the myth of the goddess Sati is that of a wife who dies by her own volition on a fire , this is not a case of the practice of sati . The goddess was not widowed , and the myth is quite unconnected with the justifications for the practice . Justifications for involuntary sati ( edit ) Julia Leslie points to an 18th - century CE text on the duties of the wife by Tryambakayajvan that contains statements she regards as evidence for a sub-tradition of justifying strongly encouraged , pressured , or even forced sati . Although the standard view of the sati within the justifying tradition is that of the woman who out of moral heroism chooses sati , rather than choosing to enter ascetic widowhood , Tryambaka is quite clear upon the automatic good effect of sati for the woman who was a ' bad ' wife : Women who , due to their wicked minds , have always despised their husbands ... whether they do this ( i.e. , sati ) , of their own free will , or out of anger , or even out of fear -- all of them are purified from sin . Thus , as Leslie puts it , becoming ( or being pressured into the role of ) a sati was , within Tryambaka 's thinking , the only truly effective method of atonement for the bad wife . Exegesis scholarship against sati ( edit ) Opposition to sati was expressed by several exegesis scholars such as the ninth - or tenth - century Kashmir scholar Medatithi -- who offers the earliest known explicit discussion of sati , the 12th - to 17th - century scholars Vijnanesvara , Apararka and Devanadhatta , as well as the mystical Tantric tradition , with its valorization of the feminine principle . Medhatithi ( edit ) Explicit criticisms were published by Medhatithi , a commentator on various theological works . He offered two arguments for his opposition . He considered sati a form of suicide , which was forbidden by the Vedas : One shall not die before the span of one 's life is run out . Medhatithi offered a second reason against sati , calling it against dharma ( adharma ) . He argued that there is a general prohibition against violence of any form against living beings in the Vedic dharma tradition , sati causes death which is sufficient proof of violence , and thus sati is against Vedic teachings . Vijñāneśvara ( edit ) Vijnanesvara presents both sides of the argument , for and against sati . He argues first that Vedas do not prohibit sacrifice aimed to stop an enemy and in pursuit of heaven , and sati for these reasons is thus not prohibited . He then presents two arguments against sati , calling it `` unobjectionable '' . The first is based on hymn 10.2. 6.7 of Satapatha Brahmana will forbids suicide . His second reason against sati is an appeal to relative merit between two choices . Death may grant a woman 's wish to enter heaven with her dead husband , but living offers her the possibility of reaching moksha through knowledge of the Self through learning , reflecting and meditating . In Vedic tradition , moksha is of higher merit than heaven , because moksha leads to eternal , unsurpassed bliss while heaven is impermanent and smaller happiness . Living gives her an option to discover deeper , fulfilling happiness than dying through sati does , according to Vijnanesvara . Apararka ( edit ) Apararka acknowledges that Vedic scripture prohibits violence against living beings and `` one should not kill '' ; however , he argues that this rule prohibits violence against another person , but does not prohibit killing oneself if one wants to . Thus sati is a woman 's choice and it is not prohibited by Vedic tradition , argues Apararka . Counter-arguments within Hinduism ( edit ) Reform and bhakti movements within Hinduism favoured egalitarian societies , and in line with the tenor of these beliefs , generally condemned the practice , sometimes explicitly . The 12th - century Virashaiva movement condemned the practice . Later , Sahajananda Swami , the founder of Vaishnavite Swaminarayana sampradaya preached against sati in the 18th century in western India . In a petition to the British East India Company in 1818 , Ram Mohan Roy wrote that : `` All these instances are murders according to every shastra . '' In culture ( edit ) European artists in the eighteenth century produced many images for their own native markets , showing the widows as heroic women , and moral exemplars . In her article `` Can the Subaltern Speak ? '' philosopher Gayatri Spivak discusses the British manipulation of sati practice , and how sati takes the form of imprisoning women in the double bind of self - expression attributed to mental illness and social rejection , or of self - incrimination according to British colonial law . The woman who commits sati takes the form of the subaltern in Spivak 's work , a form much of postcolonial studies takes very seriously . The Australian rock band Tlot Tlot 's song `` The Bonebass Suttee '' on their 1991 album A Day at the Bay is about the practice . The 2005 novel The Ashram by Indian writer Sattar Memon , deals with the plight of an oppressed young woman in India , under pressure to commit suttee and the endeavours of a western spiritual aspirant to save her .

"Under British rule, the practice was initially tolerated. In the province of Bengal, sati was attended by a colonial government official, which states historian A.F. Salahuddin Ahmed, \"not only seemed to accord an official sanction, but also increased its prestige value\".[10] Between 1815 and 1818, the number of sati in Bengal province doubled from 378 to 839. Under sustained campaigning against sati by Christian missionaries such as William Carey and Brahmin Hindu reformers such as Ram Mohan Roy, the provincial government banned sati in 1829.[11][12][13] This was followed up by similar laws by the authorities in the princely states of India in the ensuing decades, with a general ban for the whole of India issued by Queen Victoria in 1861. In Nepal, sati was banned in 1920. The Indian Sati Prevention Act from 1988 further criminalised any type of aiding, abetting, and glorifying of sati.\n",

-6347209096616619664 | List of New England Patriots seasons | List of New England Patriots seasons - wikipedia List of New England Patriots seasons Jump to : navigation , search Members of the Patriots organization pose with then - U.S. President George W. Bush following the Patriots ' victory in Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005 . The New England Patriots are an American football team based in Foxborough , Massachusetts . They compete in the National Football League ( NFL ) as a member club of the league 's American Football Conference ( AFC ) East division . Originally called the Boston Patriots , the team was founded as one of eight charter members of the American Football League ( AFL ) in 1960 under the ownership of Billy Sullivan . The team became part of the NFL when the two leagues merged in 1970 . The following year , they moved from Boston to nearby Foxborough , and changed their name to the New England Patriots . The modern NFL championship game , the Super Bowl , was founded in the 1966 season ; the first four were contested between the champions of the AFL and the NFL . After the merger , the Super Bowl became the united league 's championship . The Patriots made the 1963 AFL Championship Game , but struggled severely in the early years of the united league , not making the postseason until 1976 . After a few good seasons including a Super Bowl appearance against a champion Bears outfit , the Patriots reached a nadir between 1989 and 1993 when they won only 19 of 80 games . Since Bill Belichick was hired as the team 's head coach in 2000 , the Patriots have finished first or second in the AFC East every year except Belichick 's first season , with both second - place finishes caused by tiebreakers . Over that time , they have won five Super Bowls , eight AFC Championship Games , and fourteen AFC East titles , while amassing a regular season record of 201 -- 71 . The team 's quarterback over that same period , Tom Brady , has been awarded the NFL Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) three times , and the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player four times ; he is one of only five players named Super Bowl MVP more than once , and the only one named 4 times . The Patriots have won five Super Bowl championships ( XXXVI , XXXVIII , XXXIX , XLIX , and LI ) . They also played in and lost Super Bowls XX , XXXI , XLII , XLVI , and Super Bowl LII . During the 2007 regular season , the Patriots became the only NFL team in history to win 16 games , and the first since the 1972 Miami Dolphins ( in a 14 - game season ) to complete the regular campaign undefeated . Belichick 's Patriots are one of only two teams to win three Super Bowls in four years ( the other being the Dallas Cowboys from 1993 to 1996 ) . Overall , the Patriots have made 24 playoff appearances , one of which was before the merger . Since the merger , they have played fourteen AFC Championship Games , winning ten of them to advance to the Super Bowl . In the Patriots ' 56 - year history , they have an overall regular season record of 476 wins , 383 losses , and 9 ties , plus an overall postseason record of 32 wins and 19 losses . In the 2017 NFL season , the Patriots reached their 10th Super Bowl , breaking their own record for most Super Bowl appearances by any organization of all time .

present ) . The Team column links to an article about the Patriots ' season that year . The Finish , Won , Lost , and Ties columns list regular season results and exclude any postseason play . Regular season and postseason results are combined only at the bottom of the list . In the Finish column , a `` T - '' indicates a tie for that position . Beginning in 1974 , the NFL began playing a 15 - minute sudden - death overtime period if a regular season game finished regulation tied . Since this change , ties have been rarer . The Patriots and the Baltimore Colts finished tied . However , the Colts finished ahead of New England based on a better division record ( 7 -- 1 to Patriots ' 6 -- 2 ) . The NFL expanded from a 14 - game regular season schedule to 16 beginning in 1978 . The Patriots and Miami Dolphins finished the 1978 season with the same record . However , the Patriots were awarded the Division Championship based on a better division record ( 6 -- 2 to the Dolphins ' 5 -- 3 ) . The 1982 NFL season was shortened from 16 regular seasons games to nine due to a players ' strike . For playoff seedings , division standings were ignored and eight teams from each conference were seeded one through eight based on their regular season records . The 1987 NFL season was shortened from 16 regular season games to 15 due to a players ' strike . The Patriots and Dolphins finished the 1994 season tied . As the Dolphins had defeated the Patriots in both regular season meetings , the Dolphins were named division champions and the Patriots received a Wild Card berth in the playoffs . The Patriots and the Dolphins finished the 2001 season with the same record . However , the Patriots were named Division Champions based on a better division record ( 6 -- 2 to the Dolphins ' 5 -- 3 ) . The Patriots , Dolphins , and New York Jets finished the season with 9 -- 7 records in 2002 . For having the best record against common opponents , the Jets were awarded the division championship . Neither the Patriots nor the Dolphins qualified for the playoffs . The Patriots , Dolphins , and Baltimore Ravens ( AFC North ) finished the 2008 season tied with identical 11 -- 5 records . As the Dolphins and Ravens had 8 -- 4 records within the AFC , and the Patriots a 7 -- 5 AFC record , the Dolphins were awarded the AFC East title , and the Ravens were given a Wild Card berth in the playoffs . The Patriots did not qualify for the playoffs . Years here refer to the year in which the season was played . Playoff games are commonly played in the January and February of the following year .

The Easter dates also affect when Ash Wednesday , Good Friday , Holy Saturday , Maundy Thursday , the Ascension of the Lord and Pentecost occur . Easter may occur on different dates in the Gregorian Calendar and the Julian Calendar . The accompanying table provides both sets of dates , for recent decades and forthcoming years -- see the computus article for more details on the calculation . Contents ( hide ) 1 Earliest Easter 1.1 Western ( Gregorian ) 1.2 Orthodox ( Julian ) 2 Latest Easter 2.1 Western ( Gregorian ) 2.2 Orthodox ( Julian ) 3 Western and Orthodox Easter on the same date 4 Range of dates for Western and Orthodox Easter 5 Public holidays 6 References 7 External links Earliest Easter ( edit ) Western ( Gregorian ) ( edit ) In 1818 the Paschal Full Moon fell on Saturday , March 21 ( the equinox ) . Therefore , the following day , March 22 , was Easter . It will not fall as early again until 2285 , a span of 467 years . The next earliest Easter between 1818 and 2285 ( March 23 ) occurred in 1845 , 1856 , 1913 and 2008 , and will occur again in 2160 -- a 11 , 57 , 95 and 152 - year gap , respectively . Orthodox ( Julian ) ( edit ) The earliest dates for Easter in the Eastern Orthodox Church between 1875 and 2099 are April 4 , 1915 and April 4 , 2010 ( Gregorian ) . Both dates are equivalent to March 22 in the Julian Calendar . Latest Easter ( edit ) Western ( Gregorian ) ( edit ) In 1943 Easter fell on Sunday , April 25 . The ecclesiastical full moon did not occur until Saturday , March 20 ; because it came before the vernal equinox , the paschal full moon did not happen until Sunday , April 18 . Consequently , Easter was the following Sunday ( April 25 ) . Easter will not fall as late again until 2038 -- a span of 95 years . The second latest date for Easter , April 24 , occurred in 2011 . The latter occurred in 1859 and will not happen again until 2095 -- 152 and 84 years , respectively . However between years 5121 and 6482 , Easter will be no later than April 24 . Orthodox ( Julian ) ( edit ) The latest dates for Orthodox Easter between 1875 and 2099 are May 8 , 1983 , and May 8 , 2078 ( Gregorian ) . Both dates are equivalent to April 25 in the Julian Calendar . Orthodox Easter has never fallen on Gregorian May 7 yet ; it will happen in 2051 unless these churches change to another calendar . Western and Orthodox Easter on the same date ( edit ) Despite using calendars that are apart by 13 days , Easter 2014 fell on the same date . According to the Western ( Gregorian ) calendar , the first Paschal Full Moon after the Spring Equinox ( March 20 ) fell on Monday , April 14 , 2014 . The following Sunday , April 20 , was , therefore , Easter Day . According to the Orthodox ( Julian ) calendar ( which is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar ) , the Spring Equinox also falls on March 21 . However , in the Gregorian Calendar , this is April 3 . The first Orthodox Full Moon after the Equinox falls on ( Julian ) Tuesday , April 2 , 2014 ( Gregorian April 15 ) . The following Sunday , ( Julian ) April 7 , is , therefore , Easter Day ( Gregorian April 20 ) . Range of dates for Western and Orthodox Easter ( edit ) Both calendars ( Gregorian and Julian ) calculate Easter as falling on dates between March 22 and April 25 on their calendars . However , because of the 13 - day difference , any member of an Orthodox church would observe that the Western Easter falls between March 10 and April 12 on the Julian calendar . Conversely , any member of a Western church would observe that Orthodox Easter falls between April 4 and May 8 on the Gregorian calendar . Beginning March 14 , 2100 ( February 29 , 2100 , in the Julian Calendar ) , the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars will increase to 14 days . Public holidays ( edit ) This section needs expansion with : details of Easter holidays in other countries ; this section currently only mentions those with a four - day weekend . You can help by adding to it . ( April 2018 ) In Hungary , the United Kingdom except Scotland , Australia , Canada , South Africa , Germany , Switzerland and New Zealand , Easter comprises two public holidays , Good Friday and Easter Monday , making a four - day weekend . The moveable date of Easter sometimes brings it into conflict with other , fixed , public holidays . In the United Kingdom in 2000 and 2011 , the May Day bank holiday was one week after Easter Monday , causing there to be three consecutive weeks with a bank holiday . ( In Scotland this did not occur as Easter Monday is not a bank holiday . ) In 2011 , a bank holiday was declared on Friday 29 April for the Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton ; consequently there were four bank holidays within three consecutive calendar weeks ( including two in one week ) , creating two consecutive four - day weekends ( Friday 22 -- Monday 25 April and Friday 29 April -- Monday 2 May ) , with a three - day working week in between ( Tuesday 26 -- Thursday 28 April ) . In Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in 2008 , Saint Patrick 's Day ( Monday 17 March ) fell six days before Easter ( Sunday 23 March ) , creating a three - day week ( Tuesday 18 -- Thursday 20 March ) . This will next happen in 2035 , when Saint Patrick 's day falls on Saturday , so the public holiday is moved forward to the following Monday 19 March , again six days before Easter . Note that in the Catholic liturgical calendar , saints ' feasts are not observed when they fall during Holy Week ; this caused Saint Patrick not to appear in the liturgical calendar for 2008 ; 17 March was simply celebrated as Holy Monday . In Ireland , the Church chose to celebrate Saint Patrick on Saturday 15 March instead . In Australia , ANZAC Day is a public holiday on 25 April . In 2000 and 2011 , this created a five - day weekend over Easter : in 2000 , Easter Monday fell on 24 April , with Easter Tuesday , 25 April , then being ANZAC Day ; in 2011 , ANZAC Day and Easter Monday coincided on Monday 25 April , which led to a substitute public holiday being declared for Tuesday 26 April . In 2003 and 2014 , ANZAC Day fell on Easter Friday , and in 2019 it will fall on Easter Thursday , and in 2038 it will fall on Easter Sunday ; the consequence is three - day working weeks immediately following the Easter weekend . Easter is not a federal holiday in the United States . In North Carolina , however , it was a public holiday from 1935 to 1987 .

2785346170113701750 | Nerd | Nerd - wikipedia Nerd This is the latest accepted revision , reviewed on 23 May 2018 . Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Nerd ( disambiguation ) . A nerd is a person seen as overly intellectual , obsessive , introvert or lacking social skills . Such a person may spend inordinate amounts of time on unpopular , little known , or non-mainstream activities , which are generally either highly technical , abstract , or relating to topics of fiction or fantasy , to the exclusion of more mainstream activities . Additionally , many so - called nerds are described as being shy , quirky , pedantic , and unattractive . Originally derogatory , the term `` nerd '' was a stereotype , but as with other pejoratives , it has been reclaimed and redefined by some as a term of pride and group identity . Contents ( hide ) 1 Etymology 2 Nerd stereotype 3 Nerd pride 4 Bullying 5 In film , television , and music 6 See also 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External links Etymology ( edit ) The first documented appearance of the word nerd is as the name of a creature in Dr. Seuss 's book If I Ran the Zoo ( 1950 ) , in which the narrator Gerald McGrew claims that he would collect `` a Nerkle , a Nerd , and a Seersucker too '' for his imaginary zoo . The slang meaning of the term dates to the next year , 1951 , when Newsweek magazine reported on its popular use as a synonym for drip or square in Detroit , Michigan . By the early 1960s , usage of the term had spread throughout the United States , and even as far as Scotland . At some point , the word took on connotations of bookishness and social ineptitude . An alternate spelling , as nurd or gnurd , also began to appear in the mid-1960s or early 1970s . Author Philip K. Dick claimed to have coined the `` nurd '' spelling in 1973 , but its first recorded use appeared in a 1965 student publication at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ( RPI ) . Oral tradition there holds that the word is derived from knurd ( drunk spelled backward ) , which was used to describe people who studied rather than partied . The term gnurd ( spelled with the `` g '' ) was in use at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) by 1965 . The term `` nurd '' was also in use at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as early as 1971 but was used in the context for the proper name of a fictional character in a satirical `` news '' article . The Online Etymology Dictionary speculates that the word is an alteration of the 1940s term `` nert '' ( meaning `` stupid or crazy person '' ) , which is itself an alteration of `` nut '' ( nutcase ) . The term was popularized in the 1970s by its heavy use in the sitcom Happy Days . Nerd stereotype ( edit ) Because of the nerd stereotype , many smart people are often thought of as nerdy . This belief can be harmful , as it can cause high - school students to `` switch off their lights '' out of fear of being branded as a nerd , and cause otherwise appealing people to be nerdy simply for their intellect . It was once thought that intellectuals were nerdy because they were envied . However , Paul Graham stated in his essay , `` Why Nerds are Unpopular '' , that intellect is neutral , meaning that you are neither loved nor despised for it . He also states that it is only the correlation that makes smart teens automatically seem nerdy , and that a nerd is someone that is not socially adept enough . Additionally , he says that the reason why many smart kids are unpopular is that they `` do n't have time for the activities required for popularity . '' A child dressed up as a stereotypical nerd Stereotypical nerd appearance , often lampooned in caricatures , includes very large glasses , braces , severe acne and pants worn high at the waist . In the media , many nerds are males , portrayed as being physically unfit , either overweight or skinny due to lack of physical exercise . It has been suggested by some , such as linguist Mary Bucholtz , that being a nerd may be a state of being `` hyperwhite '' and rejecting African - American culture and slang that `` cool '' white children use . However , after the Revenge of the Nerds movie franchise ( with multicultural nerds ) , and the introduction of the Steve Urkel character on the television series Family Matters , nerds have been seen in all races and colors as well as more recently being a frequent young Asian or Indian male stereotype in North America . Portrayal of `` nerd girls '' , in films such as She 's Out of Control , Welcome to the Dollhouse and She 's All That depicts that smart but nerdy women might suffer later in life if they do not focus on improving their physical attractiveness . In the United States , a 2010 study published in the Journal of International and Intercultural Communication indicated that Asian Americans are perceived as most likely to be nerds , followed by White Americans , while non-White Hispanics and Black Americans were perceived as least likely to be nerds . These stereotypes stem from concepts of Orientalism and Primitivism , as discussed in Ron Eglash 's essay Race , Sex , and Nerds : From Black Geeks to Asian American Hipsters . Among Whites , Jews are perceived as the most nerdy and are stereotyped in similar ways to Asians . Nerd pride ( edit ) The rise of Silicon Valley and the American computer industry at large has allowed many so - called nerdy people to accumulate large fortunes . Many stereotypically nerdy interests , such as superhero and science fiction works , are now popular culture hits . Some measures of nerdiness are now allegedly considered desirable , as , to some , it suggests a person who is intelligent , respectful , interesting , and able to earn a large salary . Stereotypical nerd qualities are evolving , going from awkwardness and social ostracism to an allegedly more widespread acceptance and sometimes even celebration of their differences . Johannes Grenzfurthner , researcher , self - proclaimed nerd and director of nerd documentary Traceroute , reflects on the emergence of nerds and nerd culture : I think that the figure of the nerd provides a beautiful template for analyzing the transformation of the disciplinary society into the control society . The nerd , in his cliche form , first stepped out upon the world stage in the mid-1970s , when we were beginning to hear the first rumblings of what would become the Cambrian explosion of the information society . The nerd must serve as comic relief for the future - anxieties of Western society . ( ... ) The germ cell of burgeoning nerdism is difference . The yearning to be understood , to find opportunities to share experiences , to not be left alone with one 's bizarre interest . At the same time one derives an almost perverse pleasure from wallowing in this deficit . Nerds love deficiency : that of the other , but also their own . Nerds are eager explorers , who enjoy measuring themselves against one another and also compete aggressively . And yet the nerd 's existence also comprises an element of the occult , of mystery . The way in which this power is expressed or focused is very important . -- Johannes Grenzfurthner , interviewed by Thomas Kaestle , Boing Boing , 14 April 2016 In the 1984 film Revenge of the Nerds Robert Carradine worked to embody the nerd stereotype ; in doing so , he helped create a definitive image of nerds . Additionally , the storyline presaged , and may have helped inspire , the `` nerd pride '' that emerged in the 1990s . American Splendor regular Toby Radloff claims this was the movie that inspired him to become `` The Genuine Nerd from Cleveland , Ohio . '' In the American Splendor film , Toby 's friend , American Splendor author Harvey Pekar , was less receptive to the movie , believing it to be hopelessly idealistic , explaining that Toby , an adult low income file clerk , had nothing in common with the middle class kids in the film who would eventually attain college degrees , success , and cease being perceived as nerds . Many , however , seem to share Radloff 's view , as `` nerd pride '' has become more widespread in the years since . MIT professor Gerald Sussman , for example , seeks to instill pride in nerds : My idea is to present an image to children that it is good to be intellectual , and not to care about the peer pressures to be anti-intellectual . I want every child to turn into a nerd -- where that means someone who prefers studying and learning to competing for social dominance , which can unfortunately cause the downward spiral into social rejection . -- Gerald Sussman , quoted by Katie Hafner , The New York Times , 29 August 1993 The popular computer - related news website Slashdot uses the tagline `` News for nerds . Stuff that matters . '' The Charles J. Sykes quote `` Be nice to nerds . Chances are you 'll end up working for one '' has been popularized on the Internet and incorrectly attributed to Bill Gates . In Spain , Nerd Pride Day has been observed on May 25 since 2006 , the same day as Towel Day , another somewhat nerdy holiday . The date was picked because it 's the anniversary of the release of Star Wars : A New Hope . An episode from the animated series Freakazoid , titled `` Nerdator '' , includes the use of nerds to power the mind of a Predator - like enemy . Towards the middle of the show , he gave this speech . : ... most nerds are shy ordinary - looking types with no interest in physical activity . But , what they lack in physical prowess they make up in brains . Tell me , who writes all the best selling books ? Nerds . Who makes all the top grossing movies ? Nerds . Who designs computer programs so complex that only they can use them ? Nerds . And who is running for high public office ? No one but nerds ... Without nerds to lead the way , the governments of the world will stumble , they 'll be forced to seek guidance from good - looking , but vapid airheads . The Danish reality TV show FC Zulu , known in the internationally franchised format as FC Nerds , established a format wherein a team of nerds , after two or three months of training , competes with a professional soccer team . Some commentators consider that the word is devalued when applied to people who adopt a sub-cultural pattern of behaviour , rather than being reserved for people with a marked ability . Although originally being predominately an American stereotype , Nerd culture has grown across the globe and is now more acceptable and common than ever . Australian events such as Oz Comic - Con ( a large comic book and Cosplay convention , similar to San Diego Comic - Con International ) and Supernova , are incredibly popular events among the culture of people who identify themselves as nerds . In 2016 , Oz Comic - Con in Perth saw almost 20,000 cos - players and comic book fans meet to celebrate the event , hence being named a `` professionally organised Woodstock for geeks '' . Bullying ( edit ) Nerds are often the target of bullying due to a range of reasons that may include physical appearance or social background . Paul Graham has suggested that the reason nerds are frequently singled out for bullying is their indifference to popularity , in the face of a youth culture that views popularity as paramount . However , research findings suggest that bullies are often as socially inept as their academically better - performing victims , and that popularity fails to confer protection from bullying . Other commentators have pointed out that pervasive harassment of intellectually - oriented youth began only in the mid-twentieth century and some have suggested that its cause involves jealousy over future employment opportunities and earning potential . In film , television , and music ( edit ) Film has seen several memorable nerdy characters including , but not limited to : Anthony Michael Hall 's character of Brian Johnson in The Breakfast Club , Dr Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds , Fogell from Superbad , Peter Parker from the Spider - Man franchise , Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter franchise , Lewis Skolnick and Gilbert Lowe from Revenge of the Nerds , Steve Carell 's character of Andy Stitzer in The 40 - Year - Old Virgin , and various characters in The Big Bang Theory and Silicon Valley . The parody song and music video `` White & Nerdy '' by `` Weird Al '' Yankovic also prominently features and celebrates aspects of nerd culture .

Contents 1 Theravada Buddhism and the Pali canon 1.1 Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta 1.2 Dependent Origination 1.3 Anatta 1.4 Rebirth 2 Mahayana 2.1 Madhyamaka 2.2 East Asian conceptions 2.2. 1 Tendai 2.2. 2 Chan Buddhism 3 See also 4 Notes 5 References 6 Sources Theravada Buddhism and the Pali Canon ( edit ) Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta ( edit ) In the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism , the term `` Middle Way '' was used in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta , which the Buddhist tradition regards to be the first teaching that the Buddha delivered after his awakening . In this sutta , the Buddha describes the Noble Eightfold Path as the middle way of moderation , between the extremes of sensual indulgence and self - mortification : Monks , these two extremes ought not to be practiced by one who has gone forth from the household life . There is addiction to indulgence of sense - pleasures , which is low , coarse , the way of ordinary people , unworthy , and unprofitable ; and there is addiction to self - mortification , which is painful , unworthy , and unprofitable . Avoiding both these extremes , the Tathagata ( the Perfect One ) has realized the Middle Path ; it gives vision , gives knowledge , and leads to calm , to insight , to enlightenment and to Nibbana . And what is that Middle Path realized by the Tathagata ... ? It is the Noble Eightfold path , and nothing else , namely : right understanding , right thought , right speech , right action , right livelihood , right effort , right mindfulness and right concentration . According to the scriptural account , when the Buddha delivered the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta , he was addressing five ascetics with whom he had previously practiced severe austerities . Thus , it is this personal context as well as the broader context of Indian shramanic practices that gives particular relevancy to the caveat against the extreme ( Pali : antā ) of self - mortification ( Pali attakilamatha ) . Later Pali literature has also used the phrase Middle Way to refer to the Buddha 's teaching of dependent origination as a view between the extremes of eternalism and annihilationism . Dependent origination ( edit ) Main article : Pratītyasamutpāda Pratītyasamutpāda , or `` dependent origination '' , describes the existence of objects and phenomena as the result of causes . When one of these causes changes or disappears , the resulting object or phenomena will also change or disappear , as will the objects or phenomena depending on the changing object or phenomena . Thus , there is nothing with an eternal self or atman , only mutually dependent origination and existence . However , the absence of an eternal atman does not mean there is nothing at all . Early Buddhism adheres to a realistic approach which does not deny existence as such , but denies the existence of eternal and independent substances . This view is the Middle Way between eternalism and annihilationism : The understanding that sees a `` person '' as subsisting in the causal connectedness of dependent arising is often presented in Buddhist thought as `` the middle '' ( madhyama / majjhima ) between the views of `` eternalism '' ( śaśvata - / sassata - vāda ) and `` annihilationism '' ( uccheda - vāda ) . Anattā ( edit ) Dependent origination views human persons too as devoid of a personal essence or atman . In Theravadin literature , this usage of the term `` Middle Way '' can be found in 5th century CE Pali commentaries : The Tathāgata teaches the Dhamma by the middle without veering to either of these extremes -- eternalism or annihilationism -- having abandoned them without reservation . He teaches while being established in the middle way . What is that Dhamma ? By the formula of dependent origination , the effect is shown to occur through the cause and to cease with the cessation of the cause , but no agent or experiencer ( ... ) is described . In the Visuddhimagga , the following is found : `` Dependent origination '' ( paticca - samuppada ) represents the middle way , which rejects the doctrines , ' He who acts is he who reaps ' and ' One acts while another reaps ' ( S. ii. 20 ) ... '' In the Pali Canon itself , this view is not explicitly called the `` Middle Way '' but is literally referred to as `` teaching by the middle '' ( majjhena dhamma ) . Rebirth ( edit ) Paticcasamuppāda `` dependent origination '' also gives a rationale for rebirth : Conditioned Arising is ( ... ) a ' Middle Way ' which avoids the extremes of ' eternalism ' and ' annihilationism ' : the survival of an eternal self , or the total annihilation of a person at death . In Theravadin soteriology , the principle of anattā means there is neither a permanent self nor complete annihilation of the person at death ; there is only the arising and ceasing of causally related phenomena . Paticcasamuppāda also describes the Twelve Nidānas of dukkha `` suffering '' that lead to rebirth , from avijjā `` ignorance '' to jarāmaraṇa `` aging and death '' , and the parallel reverse - order interdependent cessation of these factors . In Theravada Buddhism , only nibbana is unconditioned ; nonetheless , even the arahant or tathāgata , upon passing , neither exists nor non-exists according to the Pāli Canon . Mahayana ( edit ) In Mahayana Buddhism , the Middle Way refers to the insight into śūnyatā `` emptiness '' that transcends the extremes of existence and non-existence , the two truths doctrine . According to Kalupahana , Two aspects of the Buddha 's teachings , the philosophical and the practical , which are mutually dependent , are clearly enunciated in two discourses , the Kaccāyanagotta - sutta and the Dhammacakkappavattana - sutta , both of which are held in high esteem by almost all schools of Buddhism in spite of their sectarian rivalries . The Kaccāyanagotta - sutta , quoted by almost all the major schools of Buddhism , deals with the philosophical `` middle path '' , placed against the backdrop of two absolutistic theories in Indian philosophy , namely , permanent existence ( atthitaa ) propounded in the early Upanishads and nihilistic non-existence ( natthitā ) suggested by the Materialists . Madhyamaka ( edit ) In Mahayana Buddhism , the Madhyamaka ( `` Middle Way '' ) school portrays a `` middle way '' position between metaphysical claims that things ultimately either exist or do not exist . Nagarjuna 's influential Mūlamadhyamakakārikā deconstructs the usage of terms describing reality , leading to the insight into śūnyatā `` emptiness '' . It contains only one reference to a sutta , the Kaccāyanagotta Sutta from the Samyutta Nikaya : `` Everything exists '' : That is one extreme . `` Everything does n't exist '' : That is a second extreme . Avoiding these two extremes , The Tathagata teaches the Dhamma via the middle . East asian conceptions ( edit ) Tendai ( edit ) In the Tendai school , the Middle Way refers to the synthesis of the thesis that all things are śūnyatā and the antithesis that all things have phenomenal existence . Chan Buddhism ( edit ) In Chan Buddhism , the Middle Way describes the realization of being free of the one - sidedness of perspective that takes the extremes of any polarity as objective reality . In chapter ten of the Platform Sutra , Huineng gives instructions for the teaching of the Dharma . Huineng enumerates 36 basic oppositions of consciousness and explains how the Way is free from both extremes : If one asks about the worldly , use the paired opposite of the saintly ; if asking about the saintly use the paired opposite of the worldly . The mutual causation of the Way of dualities , gives birth to the meaning of the Middle Way . So , for a single question , a single pair of opposites , and for other questions the single ( pair ) that accords with this fashion , then you do not lose the principle .

"In the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism, the term \"Middle Way\" was used in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, which the Buddhist tradition regards to be the first teaching that the Buddha delivered after his awakening.[b] In this sutta, the Buddha describes the Noble Eightfold Path as the middle way of moderation, between the extremes of sensual indulgence and self-mortification:[2]\n"

5200302065883719794 | Bobby Joe Hill | Bobby Joe Hill - wikipedia Bobby Joe Hill Bobby Joe Hill ( 1943 - 06 - 12 ) June 12 , 1943 Highland Park , Michigan December 8 , 2002 ( 2002 - 12 - 08 ) ( aged 59 ) El Paso , Texas Listed height 5 ft 11 in ( 1.80 m ) Career information High school Highland Park HS ( Highland Park , MI ) College UTEP ( 1961 -- 1966 ) NBA draft 1966 / Undrafted Position Guard Career highlights and awards NCAA champion ( 1966 ) Tyrone Bobby Joe Hill ( June 12 , 1943 -- December 8 , 2002 ) was an American basketball player and was the leading scorer of the 1965 -- 66 Texas Western College ( now the University of Texas at El Paso ) team , helping the Miners win the 1966 NCAA basketball championship . The victory is considered one of the most important wins in sports history -- Texas Western started an all - black starting lineup , against the all - white University of Kentucky . Bobby Joe Hill was the 5'11 point guard from Highland Park , Michigan on the Texas Western college basketball team that won the national title in 1966 . Texas Western 's win over the top - ranked Kentucky team , nicknamed `` Rupp 's Runts , '' in the title game in College Park , Maryland , is considered one of the most historic games in the annals of college basketball . The school 's all - black starting five defeated a white Kentucky team , 72 -- 65 . Bobby Joe Hill was one of the most prominent players on the court . In the first half , he stole the ball from both Louie Dampier and Tommy Kron twice within the span of a minute and converted both steals into easy layups . He led all scorers with twenty points , and his plays were complemented by talented teammates Harry Flournoy , Nevil Shed , David Lattin , and Willie Worsley . Don Haskins coached Texas Western , and Adolph Rupp directed Kentucky . The Miners ' victory over the Kentucky Wildcats was a landmark event in the history of civil right and sports desegregation , comparable to Jackie Robinson 's baseball tenure with the Brooklyn Dodgers , decisively proving that color of skin has no bearing on talent and ability . Of note is that Don Haskins and the entire Texas Western squad rose above racial threats , insults , vandalism , and violence throughout the 1965 -- 1966 season to their against - all - odds triumph . Bobby Joe Hill stayed in El Paso after his Texas Western career , married his college sweetheart Walltina Malachi , and retired as an executive with El Paso Natural Gas . He died in 2002 of a heart attack at age 59 , the first player from the starting lineup to die . Bobby Joe Hill is interred at Restlawn Memorial Park in El Paso , Texas . The story of Bobby Joe Hill and the 1966 Texas Western national championship has been immortalized in the film Glory Road , which was released in the U.S. in January , 2006 , forty years after the `` fabulous five '' forever altered the landscape of college basketball .

-5403415490207899440 | Boaz | Boaz - wikipedia Boaz Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Boaz ( disambiguation ) . Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld : Ruth in Boaz 's Field , 1828 This article contains special characters . Without proper rendering support , you may see question marks , boxes , or other symbols . Boaz ( / ˈboʊ. æz / ; Modern Hebrew : בועז Bốʿaz ; Massoretical Hebrew : בֹּ֫עַז Bṓʿaz ; Hebrew pronunciation : ( ˈboːʕaz ) ) is a biblical figure appearing in the Book of Ruth in the Hebrew Bible and in the genealogies of Jesus in the New Testament and also the name of a pillar in the portico of the historic Temple in Jerusalem . The word is found 24 times in the Scriptures , two being in Greek ( in the form `` Booz '' ) . The root בעז , just used in the Bible in relation to `` Boaz '' ( see The Temple ) , perhaps expresses ' quick ( ness ) ' ( cf . Ar . بَغْزٌ , ' swiftness ( of horse ) ' ) . The etymology of the name has been suggested by many as be'oz , `` in the strength of '' , or bo'oz , `` in him ( is ) strength '' from the root ' zz , `` to be strong '' , hence the use of the name `` Boaz '' for one of the pillars at the portico of the temple ( 1 Kings 7 : 21 ) , although Biblical scholar Martin Noth preferred `` of sharp mind '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 In the Bible 1.1 Old Testament 1.2 The Temple 1.3 New Testament 2 Rabbinic Jewish tradition 2.1 Conduct 2.2 Boaz and Ruth 3 In Israeli history 4 In popular culture 5 See also 6 References 7 Further reading In the Bible ( edit ) Top - Ruth Meets Boaz as she gleans Old Testament ( edit ) The son of Rahab ( who may be Rahab of Jericho ) and Salmon , Boaz was a wealthy landowner of Bethlehem in Judea , and kinsman of Elimelech , Naomi 's late husband . He noticed Ruth , the widowed Moabite daughter - in - law of Naomi , a relative of his ( see family tree ) , gleaning grain in his fields . He soon learns of the difficult circumstances her family is in and Ruth 's loyalty to Naomi . In response , Boaz invites her to eat with him and his workers , as well as deliberately leaving grain for her to claim while keeping a protective eye on her . Ruth approaches Boaz and asks him to exercise his right of kinship and marry her . Boaz accepts , provided that another with a superior claim declines . Since the first son of Ruth and a kinsman of her late husband would be deemed the legal offspring of the decedent and heir to Elimelech , the other kinsman defers to Boaz . In marrying Ruth , Boaz revives Elimelech 's lineage , and the patrimony is secured to Naomi 's family . Their son was Obed , father of Jesse , and grandfather of David . According to Josephus , he lived at the time of Eli . The Temple ( edit ) `` Boaz '' was the name of the left one of the two frontal columns of Solomon 's Temple , the other being `` Jachin '' . Its meaning is a subject of controversy . New Testament ( edit ) Boaz is mentioned in both the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke as an ancestor of Jesus . Rabbinic Jewish tradition ( edit ) Conduct ( edit ) In the Talmud , some rabbis identify Boaz with the judge Ibzan of Bethlehem . `` I.e. , Bethlehem in Zebulun '' ; cf . Joshua 19 : 15 . Let it be taken into consideration , however , that Boaz `` of Ruth '' was from Judah , whereas the two chieftains immediately ulterior to Ibzan were from Zebulun . A legend is given that he lost all his sixty children during his lifetime because he did not invite Manoah , Samson 's father , to any of the marriage festivities at his house . Since Manoah was at that time without children , Boaz thought that he did not need to consider on such occasions a childless man who could not pay him back in kind ( Bava Batra 91a ) . The Talmud tells that Boaz was a just , pious , and learned judge . The custom of using the Divine Name in greeting one 's fellow - man ( Rt - 2.4 ) formulated by him and his bet din ( `` court ( of ) law '' ) received the approval of even the heavenly bet din ( Babylonian Talmud Makkot 23b ; Yerushalmi Talmud Ber . ix . 14c ; Midrash Ruth Rabbah to ii. 4 ) . The midrash Ruth Rabbah states that being a pious man , Boaz on his first meeting with Ruth perceived her conscientiousness in picking up the grain , as she strictly observed the rules prescribed by the Law . This , as well as her grace and her chaste conduct during work , induced Boaz to inquire about the stranger , although he was not in the habit of inquiring after women ( Ruth Rabba to ii. 5 ; Talmudic tractate Shabbat 113b ) . In the conversation that followed between Boaz and Ruth , the pious proselyte said that , being a Moabite , she was excluded from association with the community of God ( Deuteronomy 23 : 4 ) . Boaz , however , replied that the prohibition in the Scripture applied only to the men of Moab -- and not to the women . He furthermore told her that he had heard from the prophets that she was destined to become the ancestress of kings and prophets ; and he blessed her with the words : `` May God , who rewards the pious , also reward you '' ( Targum Ruth ii. 10 , 11 ; Pesiḳ , ed . Buber , xvi . 124a ) . Boaz was especially friendly toward the poor stranger during the meal , when he indicated to her by various symbolic courtesies that she would become the ancestress of the Davidic royal house , including the Messiah ( Ruth R. to ii. 14 ; Shab . 113b ) . As toward Ruth , Boaz had also been kind toward his kinsmen , Naomi 's sons , on hearing of their death , taking care that they had an honorable burial ( Ruth Rabba to 2.20 ) . Boaz and Ruth ( edit ) Although Boaz was the prince of the people , he personally supervised the threshing of the grain in his barn , in order to circumvent any immorality or theft , both of which were rife in his days ( Tan. , Behar , ed . Buber , viii. ; Ruth Rabba to iii. 7 ) . Glad in his heart that the famine was over in Israel , he sought rest after having thanked God and studied for a while in the Torah ( Tan. , l.c. ; Targum Ruth iii. 7 ; and Ruth Rabba ib . ) . Aroused out of his first sleep by Ruth , he was greatly frightened , as he thought that she was a devil ; and he was convinced of the contrary only after touching the hair of her head , since devils were believed to be bald ( Tan. , l.c. ) . When he perceived the pure and holy intentions of Ruth he not only did not reprove her for her unusual behavior , but he blessed her , and gave her six measures of barley , indicating thereby that six pious men should spring from her , who would be gifted by God with six excellences ( cf . Isaiah 11 : 2 ; Sanhedrin 93b ; Numbers Rabba xiii. 11 ; Ruth Rabba and Targum to Ruth iii. 15 ; the names of the six men differ in these passages , but David and the Messiah are always among them ) . Boaz fulfilled the promises he had given to Ruth , and when his kinsman ( the sources differ as to the precise relationship existing between them ) would not marry her because he did not know the halakah which decreed that Moabite women were not excluded from the Israelitic community , Boaz himself married her ( Ruth Rabba to iv. 1 ) . Boaz was eighty and Ruth forty years old ( idem to iii. 10 ) , but their marriage did not remain childless , though Boaz died the day after his wedding ( Midrash Zutta , ed . Buber , 55 , below ) . In Israeli history ( edit ) In the early years of Jewish settlement , the term `` a boaz '' ( plural `` boazim '' ) , derived from the Biblical character , was used to refer to a rich private farmer or landowner , such as the ones who flourished during the First Aliya . The term was often used with a pejorative connotation by adherents of Socialist Zionism , who were strongly opposed to `` the boazim '' and counterposed to them the collective Kibbutz and cooperative Moshav forms of agricultural settlement . This use of `` Boaz '' became obsolete in later stages of Jewish and Israeli history , and is hardly remembered today . In contemporary Israel , `` Boaz '' is commonly used as a male first name and carries no special political or social connotations . In popular culture ( edit ) In the 1960 film adaptation The Story of Ruth , Boaz is played by Stuart Whitman .

2715111832480986799 | Most common words in English | Most common words in English - wikipedia Most common words in English Jump to : navigation , search Studies that estimate and rank the most common words in English examine texts written in English . Perhaps the most comprehensive such analysis is one that was conducted against the Oxford English Corpus ( OEC ) , a very large collection of texts from around the world that are written in the English language . A text corpus is a large collection of written works that are organised in a way that makes such analysis easier . In total , the texts in the Oxford English Corpus contain more than 2 billion words . The OEC includes a wide variety of writing samples , such as literary works , novels , academic journals , newspapers , magazines , Hansard 's Parliamentary Debates , blogs , chat logs , and emails . Another English corpus that has been used to study word frequency is the Brown Corpus , which was compiled by researchers at Brown University in the 1960s . The researchers published their analysis of the Brown Corpus in 1967 . Their findings were similar , but not identical , to the findings of the OEC analysis . According to The Reading Teacher 's Book of Lists , the first 25 words in the OEC make up about one - third of all printed material in English , and the first 100 words make up about half of all written English . According to a study cited by Robert McCrum in The Story of English , all of the first hundred of the most common words in English are of Anglo - Saxon origin . Some lists of common words distinguish between word forms , while others rank all forms of a word as a single lexeme ( the form of the word as it would appear in a dictionary ) . For example , the lexeme be ( as in to be ) comprises all its conjugations ( is , was , are , were , etc . ) , and contractions of those conjugations . Note also that these top 100 lemmas listed below account for 50 % of all the words in the Oxford English Corpus . Contents ( hide ) 1 100 most common words 1.1 Parts of speech 1.1. 1 Nouns 1.1. 2 Verbs 1.1. 3 Adjectives 1.1. 4 Prepositions 1.1. 5 Others 2 See also 2.1 Word lists 3 References 4 External links 100 most common words A list of 100 words that occur most frequently in written English is given below , based on an analysis of the Oxford English Corpus ( a collection of texts in the English language , comprising over 2 billion running words ) . A part of speech is provided for most of the words , but part of speech categories vary between analyses , and not all possibilities are listed . For example `` I '' may be a pronoun or a Roman numeral ; `` to '' may be a preposition or an infinitive marker ; `` time '' may be a noun or a verb . Also , a single spelling can represent more than one root word . For example `` singer '' may be a form of either `` sing '' or `` singe '' . Different corpora may treat such difference differently . The table also includes frequencies from other corpora , note that as well as usage differences , lemmatisation may differ from corpus to corpus - for example splitting the prepositional use of `` to '' from the use as a particle . Also the COCA list includes dispersion as well as frequency to calculate rank .

N verify ( what is ? ) Infobox references Phosphorous acid is the compound described by the formula H PO . This acid is diprotic ( readily ionizes two protons ) , not triprotic as might be suggested by this formula . Phosphorous acid is an intermediate in the preparation of other phosphorus compounds . Contents 1 Nomenclature and tautomerism 2 Preparation 3 Reactions 3.1 Acid -- base properties 3.2 Disproportionation 3.3 Reductions of metal ions 3.4 As a ligand 4 Uses 5 Organic derivatives 6 References 7 Further reading Nomenclature and tautomerism ( edit ) H PO is more clearly described with the structural formula HPO ( OH ) . In the solid state , HP ( O ) ( OH ) is tetrahedral with one shorter P =O bond of 148 pm and two longer P -- O ( H ) bonds of 154 pm . This species exists in equilibrium with an extremely minor tautomer P ( OH ) . IUPAC recommends that the latter be called phosphorous acid , whereas the dihydroxy form is called phosphonic acid . Only the reduced phosphorus compounds are spelled with an `` ous '' ending . Other important oxyacids of phosphorus are phosphoric acid ( H PO ) and hypophosphorous acid ( H PO ) . The reduced phosphorus acids are subject to similar tautomerism involving shifts of H between O and P . Preparation ( edit ) HPO ( OH ) is the product of the hydrolysis of its acid anhydride : P O + 6 H O → 4 HPO ( OH ) ( An analogous relationship connects H PO and P O ) . On an industrial scale , the acid is prepared by hydrolysis of phosphorus trichloride with water or steam : PCl + 3 H O → HPO ( OH ) + 3 HCl Potassium phosphite is also a convenient precursor to phosphorous acid : K HPO + 2 HCl → 2 KCl + H PO In practice aqueous potassium phosphite is treated with excess hydrochloric acid . By concentrating the solution and precipitations with alcohols , the pure acid can be separated from the salt . Reactions ( edit ) Acid -- base properties ( edit ) Phosphorous acid is a strong acid with ap K in the range 1.26 -- 1.3 . HP ( O ) ( OH ) → HP ( O ) ( OH ) + H pK = 1.3 It is a diprotic acid , the hydrogenphosphite ion , HP ( O ) ( OH ) is a moderately strong acid : HP ( O ) ( OH ) → HPO + H pK = 6.7 The conjugate base HP ( O ) ( OH ) is called hydrogen phosphite , and the second conjugate base , HPO , is the phosphite ion . ( Note that the IUPAC recommendations are hydrogen phosphonate and phosphonate respectively ) . The hydrogen atom bonded directly to the phosphorus atom is not readily ionizable . Chemistry examinations often test students ' appreciation of the fact that not all three hydrogen atoms are acidic under aqueous conditions , in contrast with H PO . Disproportionation ( edit ) On heating at 200 ° C , phosphorous acid disproportionates to phosphoric acid and phosphine : 4 H PO → 3 H PO + PH This reaction is used for laboratory - scale preparations of PH . Reductions of metal ions ( edit ) Both phosphorous acid and its deprotonated forms are good reducing agents , although not necessarily quick to react . They are oxidized to phosphoric acid or its salts . It reduces solutions of noble metal cations to the metals . When phosphorous acid is treated with a cold solution of mercuric chloride , a white precipitate of mercurous chloride forms : H PO + 2 HgCl + H O → Hg Cl + H PO + 2 HCl Mercurous chloride is reduced further by phosphorous acid to mercury on heating or on standing : H PO + Hg Cl + H O → 2 Hg + H PO + 2 HCl As a ligand ( edit ) Upon treatment with metals of d6 configuration , phosphorous acid is known to coordinate as the otherwise rare P ( OH ) tautomer . Examples include Mo ( CO ) ( P ( OH ) ) and ( Ru ( NH ) ( H O ) ( P ( OH ) ) ) . Uses ( edit ) The most important use of phosphorous acid ( phosphonic acid ) is the production of basic lead phosphite , which is a stabilizer in PVC and related chlorinated polymers . Phosphites have shown effectiveness in controlling a variety of plant diseases , in particular , treatment using either trunk injection or foliar containing phosphorous acid salts is indicated in response to infections by phytophthora and pythium - type plant pathogens ( both within class oomycetes , known as water molds ) , such as dieback / root rot and downy mildew . Anti-microbial products containing salts of phosphorous acid are marketed in Australia as ' Yates Anti-Rot ' ; and in the United States of America , for example , aluminum salts of the monoethyl ester of phosphorous acid ( known generically as ' Fosetyl - Al ' ) are sold under the trade name ' Aliette ' and potassium salts of phosphorous acid ( known generically as potassium phosphite ) are sold under the trade name ProPhyt . Phosphorous acid and its salts , unlike phosphoric acid , are somewhat toxic and should be handled carefully . Organic derivatives ( edit ) The IUPAC ( mostly organic ) name is phosphonic acid . This nomenclature is commonly reserved for substituted derivatives , that is , organic group bonded to phosphorus , not simply an ester . For example , ( CH ) PO ( OH ) is `` methylphosphonic acid '' , which may of course form `` methyl phosphonate '' esters . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` MSDS - 215112 '' . www.sigmaaldrich.com .

Foucault 's theories primarily address the relationship between power and knowledge , and how they are used as a form of social control through societal institutions . Though often cited as a post-structuralist and postmodernist , Foucault rejected these labels , preferring to present his thought as a critical history of modernity . His thought has influenced academics , especially those working in communication studies , sociology , cultural studies , literary theory , feminism , and critical theory . Activist groups have also found his theories compelling . Born in Poitiers , France , into an upper - middle - class family , Foucault was educated at the Lycée Henri - IV , at the École Normale Supérieure , where he developed an interest in philosophy and came under the influence of his tutors Jean Hyppolite and Louis Althusser , and at the University of Paris ( Sorbonne ) , where he earned degrees in philosophy and psychology . After several years as a cultural diplomat abroad , he returned to France and published his first major book , The History of Madness ( 1961 ) . After obtaining work between 1960 and 1966 at the University of Clermont - Ferrand , he produced The Birth of the Clinic ( 1963 ) and The Order of Things ( 1966 ) , publications which displayed his increasing involvement with structuralism , from which he later distanced himself . These first three histories exemplified a historiographical technique Foucault was developing called `` archaeology '' . From 1966 to 1968 , Foucault lectured at the University of Tunis before returning to France , where he became head of the philosophy department at the new experimental university of Paris VIII . Foucault subsequently published The Archaeology of Knowledge ( 1969 ) . In 1970 , Foucault was admitted to the Collège de France , a membership he retained until his death . He also became active in a number of left - wing groups involved in campaigns against racism and human rights abuses and for penal reform . Foucault later published Discipline and Punish ( 1975 ) and The History of Sexuality ( 1976 ) , in which he developed archaeological and genealogical methods which emphasized the role that power plays in society . Foucault died in Paris of neurological problems compounded by HIV / AIDS ; he became the first public figure in France to die from the disease . His partner Daniel Defert founded the AIDES charity in his memory .

Family tradition prescribed naming him after his father , Dr. Paul Foucault , but his mother insisted on the addition of `` Michel '' ; referred to as `` Paul '' at school , he expressed a preference for `` Michel '' throughout his life . His father ( 1893 -- 1959 ) , a successful local surgeon born in Fontainebleau , moved to Poitiers , where he set up his own practice and married local woman Anne Malapert . She was the daughter of prosperous surgeon Dr. Prosper Malapert , who owned a private practice and taught anatomy at the University of Poitiers ' School of Medicine . Paul Foucault eventually took over his father - in - law 's medical practice , while his wife took charge of their large mid-19th - century house , Le Piroir , in the village of Vendeuvre - du - Poitou . Together the couple had three children -- a girl named Francine and two boys , Paul - Michel and Denys -- who all shared the same fair hair and bright blue eyes . The children were raised to be nominal Roman Catholics , attending mass at the Church of Saint - Porchair , and while Michel briefly became an altar boy , none of the family were devout . `` I was n't always smart , I was actually very stupid in school ... ( T ) here was a boy who was very attractive who was even stupider than I was . And in order to ingratiate myself with this boy who was very beautiful , I began to do his homework for him -- and that 's how I became smart , I had to do all this work to just keep ahead of him a little bit , in order to help him . In a sense , all the rest of my life I 've been trying to do intellectual things that would attract beautiful boys . '' -- Michel Foucault , 1983 In later life , Foucault would reveal very little about his childhood . Describing himself as a `` juvenile delinquent '' , he claimed his father was a `` bully '' who would sternly punish him . In 1930 Foucault began his schooling , two years early , at the local Lycée Henry - IV . Here he undertook two years of elementary education before entering the main lycée , where he stayed until 1936 . He then undertook his first four years of secondary education at the same establishment , excelling in French , Greek , Latin and history but doing poorly at arithmetic and mathematics . In 1939 the Second World War broke out and in 1940 Nazi Germany occupied France ; Foucault 's parents opposed the occupation and the Vichy regime , but did not join the Resistance . In 1940 Foucault 's mother enrolled him in the Collège Saint - Stanislas , a strict Roman Catholic institution run by the Jesuits . Lonely , he described his years there as an `` ordeal '' , but he excelled academically , particularly in philosophy , history and literature . In 1942 he entered his final year , the terminale , where he focused on the study of philosophy , earning his baccalauréat in 1943 . Returning to the local Lycée Henry - IV , he studied history and philosophy for a year , aided by a personal tutor , the philosopher Louis Girard . Rejecting his father 's wishes that he become a surgeon , in 1945 Foucault went to Paris , where he enrolled in one of the country 's most prestigious secondary schools , which was also known as the Lycée Henri - IV . Here he studied under the philosopher Jean Hyppolite , an existentialist and expert on the work of 19th - century German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel . Hyppolite had devoted himself to uniting existentialist theories with the dialectical theories of Hegel and Karl Marx . These ideas influenced Foucault , who adopted Hyppolite 's conviction that philosophy must develop through a study of history . École Normale Supérieure : 1946 -- 51 ( edit ) Attaining excellent results , in autumn 1946 Foucault was admitted to the elite École Normale Supérieure ( ENS ) ; to gain entry , he undertook exams and an oral interrogation by Georges Canguilhem and Pierre - Maxime Schuhl . Of the hundred students entering the ENS , Foucault was ranked fourth based on his entry results , and encountered the highly competitive nature of the institution . Like most of his classmates , he was housed in the school 's communal dormitories on the Parisian Rue d'Ulm . He remained largely unpopular , spending much time alone , reading voraciously . His fellow students noted his love of violence and the macabre ; he decorated his bedroom with images of torture and war drawn during the Napoleonic Wars by Spanish artist Francisco Goya , and on one occasion chased a classmate with a dagger . Prone to self - harm , in 1948 Foucault allegedly undertook a failed suicide attempt , for which his father sent him to see the psychiatrist Jean Delay at the Sainte - Anne Hospital Center . Obsessed with the idea of self - mutilation and suicide , Foucault attempted the latter several times in ensuing years , praising suicide in later writings . The ENS 's doctor examined Foucault 's state of mind , suggesting that his suicidal tendencies emerged from the distress surrounding his homosexuality , because same - sex sexual activity was socially taboo in France . At the time , Foucault engaged in homosexual activity with men whom he encountered in the underground Parisian gay scene , also indulging in drug use ; according to biographer James Miller , he enjoyed the thrill and sense of danger that these activities offered him . Although studying various subjects , Foucault 's particular interest was soon drawn to philosophy , reading not only Hegel and Marx but also Immanuel Kant , Edmund Husserl and most significantly , Martin Heidegger . He began reading the publications of philosopher Gaston Bachelard , taking a particular interest in his work exploring the history of science . He graduated from the ENS with a DES ( diplôme d'études supérieures ( fr ) , roughly equivalent to an MA ) in Philosophy in 1949 . His DES thesis under the direction of Hyppolite was titled La Constitution d'un transcendental dans La Phénoménologie de l'esprit de Hegel ( The Constitution of a Historical Transcendental in Hegel 's Phenomenology of Spirit ) . In 1948 , the philosopher Louis Althusser became a tutor at the ENS . A Marxist , he proved to be an influence both on Foucault and a number of other students , encouraging them to join the French Communist Party ( Parti communiste français , PCF ) . Foucault did so in 1950 , but never became particularly active in its activities , and never adopted an orthodox Marxist viewpoint , refuting core Marxist tenets such as class struggle . He soon became dissatisfied with the bigotry that he experienced within the party 's ranks ; he personally faced homophobia and was appalled by the anti-semitism exhibited during the Doctors ' plot in the Soviet Union . He left the Communist Party in 1953 , but remained Althusser 's friend and defender for the rest of his life . Although failing at the first attempt in 1950 , he passed his agrégation in philosophy on the second try , in 1951 . Excused from national service on medical grounds , he decided to start a doctorate at the Fondation Thiers in 1951 , focusing on the philosophy of psychology , but he relinquished it after only one year in 1952 . Foucault was also interested in psychology and he attended Daniel Lagache 's lectures at the University of Paris , where he obtained a BA ( licence ) in Psychology in 1949 and a Diploma in Psychopathology ( Diplôme de psychopathologie ) from the University 's Institute of Psychology ( now Institut de psychologie de l'université Paris Descartes ( fr ) ) in June 1952 . Early career : 1951 -- 55 ( edit ) In the early 1950s , Foucault came under the influence of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche , who remained a core influence on his work throughout his life . Over the following few years , Foucault embarked on a variety of research and teaching jobs . From 1951 to 1955 , he worked as a psychology instructor at the ENS at Althusser 's invitation . In Paris , he shared a flat with his brother , who was training to become a surgeon , but for three days in the week commuted to the northern town of Lille , teaching psychology at the Université de Lille from 1953 to 1954 . Many of his students liked his lecturing style . Meanwhile , he continued working on his thesis , visiting the Bibliothèque Nationale every day to read the work of psychologists like Ivan Pavlov , Jean Piaget and Karl Jaspers . Undertaking research at the psychiatric institute of the Sainte - Anne Hospital , he became an unofficial intern , studying the relationship between doctor and patient and aiding experiments in the electroencephalographic laboratory . Foucault adopted many of the theories of the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud , undertaking psychoanalytical interpretation of his dreams and making friends undergo Rorschach tests . Embracing the Parisian avant - garde , Foucault entered into a romantic relationship with the serialist composer Jean Barraqué . Together , they tried to produce their greatest work , heavily used recreational drugs and engaged in sado - masochistic sexual activity . In August 1953 , Foucault and Barraqué holidayed in Italy , where the philosopher immersed himself in Untimely Meditations ( 1873 -- 76 ) , a set of four essays by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche . Later describing Nietzsche 's work as `` a revelation '' , he felt that reading the book deeply affected him , being a watershed moment in his life . Foucault subsequently experienced another groundbreaking self - revelation when watching a Parisian performance of Samuel Beckett 's new play , Waiting for Godot , in 1953 . Interested in literature , Foucault was an avid reader of the philosopher Maurice Blanchot 's book reviews published in Nouvelle Revue Française . Enamoured of Blanchot 's literary style and critical theories , in later works he adopted Blanchot 's technique of `` interviewing '' himself . Foucault also came across Hermann Broch 's 1945 novel The Death of Virgil , a work that obsessed both him and Barraqué . While the latter attempted to convert the work into an epic opera , Foucault admired Broch 's text for its portrayal of death as an affirmation of life . The couple took a mutual interest in the work of such authors as the Marquis de Sade , Fyodor Dostoyevsky , Franz Kafka and Jean Genet , all of whose works explored the themes of sex and violence . `` I belong to that generation who , as students , had before their eyes , and were limited by , a horizon consisting of Marxism , phenomenology and existentialism . For me the break was first Beckett 's Waiting for Godot , a breathtaking performance . '' -- Michel Foucault , 1983 Interested in the work of Swiss psychologist Ludwig Binswanger , Foucault aided family friend Jacqueline Verdeaux in translating his works into French . Foucault was particularly interested in Binswanger 's studies of Ellen West who , like himself , had a deep obsession with suicide , eventually killing herself . In 1954 , Foucault authored an introduction to Binswanger 's paper `` Dream and Existence '' , in which he argued that dreams constituted `` the birth of the world '' or `` the heart laid bare '' , expressing the mind 's deepest desires . That same year , Foucault published his first book , Mental Illness and Personality ( Maladie mentale et personalité ) , in which he exhibited his influence from both Marxist and Heideggerian thought , covering a wide range of subject matter from the reflex psychology of Pavlov to the classic psychoanalysis of Freud . Referencing the work of sociologists and anthropologists such as Émile Durkheim and Margaret Mead , he presented his theory that illness was culturally relative . Biographer James Miller noted that while the book exhibited `` erudition and evident intelligence '' , it lacked the `` kind of fire and flair '' which Foucault exhibited in subsequent works . It was largely critically ignored , receiving only one review at the time . Foucault grew to despise it , unsuccessfully attempting to prevent its republication and translation into English . Sweden , Poland , and West Germany : 1955 -- 60 ( edit ) Foucault spent the next five years abroad , first in Sweden , working as cultural diplomat at the University of Uppsala , a job obtained through his acquaintance with historian of religion Georges Dumézil . At Uppsala he was appointed a Reader in French language and literature , while simultaneously working as director of the Maison de France , thus opening the possibility of a cultural - diplomatic career . Although finding it difficult to adjust to the `` Nordic gloom '' and long winters , he developed close friendships with two Frenchmen , biochemist Jean - François Miquel and physicist Jacques Papet - Lépine , and entered into romantic and sexual relationships with various men . In Uppsala , he became known for his heavy alcohol consumption and reckless driving in his new Jaguar car . In spring 1956 , Barraqué broke from his relationship with Foucault , announcing that he wanted to leave the `` vertigo of madness '' . In Uppsala , Foucault spent much of his spare time in the university 's Carolina Rediviva library , making use of their Bibliotheca Walleriana collection of texts on the history of medicine for his ongoing research . Finishing his doctoral thesis , Foucault hoped it would be accepted by Uppsala University , but Sten Lindroth , a positivistic historian of science there , was unimpressed , asserting that it was full of speculative generalisations and was a poor work of history ; he refused to allow Foucault to be awarded a doctorate at Uppsala . In part because of this rejection , Foucault left Sweden . Later , Foucault admitted that the work was a first draft with certain lack of quality . Again at Dumézil 's recognition , in October 1958 Foucault arrived in the Polish capital - Warsaw , placed in charge of the University of Warsaw 's Centre Français . Foucault found life in Poland difficult due to the lack of material goods and services following the destruction of the Second World War . Witnessing the aftermath of the Polish October in which students had protested against the governing communist Polish United Workers ' Party , he felt that most Poles despised their government as a puppet regime of the Soviet Union , and thought that the system ran `` badly '' . Considering the university a liberal enclave , he traveled the country giving lectures ; proving popular , he adopted the position of de facto cultural attaché . As in France and Sweden , homosexual activity was legal but socially frowned upon in Poland , and he undertook relationships with a number of men ; one was a Polish security agent who hoped to trap Foucault in an embarrassing situation , which would therefore reflect badly on the French embassy . Wracked in diplomatic scandal , he was ordered to leave Poland for a new destination . Various positions were available in West Germany , and so Foucault relocated to the Institut français Hamburg ( de ) ( where he was director in 1958 -- 60 ) , teaching the same courses he had given in Uppsala and Warsaw . Spending much time in the Reeperbahn red light district , he entered into a relationship with a transvestite . Growing career ( edit ) Madness and Civilization : 1960 ( edit ) `` Histoire de la folie is not an easy text to read , and it defies attempts to summarise its contents . Foucault refers to a bewildering variety of sources , ranging from well - known authors such as Erasmus and Molière to archival documents and forgotten figures in the history of medicine and psychiatry . His erudition derives from years pondering , to cite Poe , ' over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore ' , and his learning is not always worn lightly . '' -- Foucault biographer David Macey , 1993 In West Germany , Foucault completed in 1960 his primary thesis ( thèse principale ) for his State doctorate , entitled Folie et déraison : Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique ( Madness and Insanity : History of Madness in the Classical Age ) , a philosophical work based upon his studies into the history of medicine . The book discussed how West European society had dealt with madness , arguing that it was a social construct distinct from mental illness . Foucault traces the evolution of the concept of madness through three phases : the Renaissance , the later 17th and 18th centuries , and the modern experience . The work alludes to the work of French poet and playwright Antonin Artaud , who exerted a strong influence over Foucault 's thought at the time . Histoire de la folie was an expansive work , consisting of 943 pages of text , followed by appendices and a bibliography . Foucault submitted it at the University of Paris , although the university 's regulations for awarding a State doctorate required the submission of both his main thesis and a shorter complementary thesis . Obtaining a doctorate in France at the period was a multi-step process . The first step was to obtain a rapporteur , or `` sponsor '' for the work : Foucault chose Georges Canguilhem . The second was to find a publisher , and as a result Folie et déraison would be published in French in May 1961 by the company Plon , whom Foucault chose over Presses Universitaires de France after being rejected by Gallimard . In 1964 , a heavily abridged version was published as a mass market paperback , then translated into English for publication the following year as Madness and Civilization . Folie et déraison received a mixed reception in France and in foreign journals focusing on French affairs . Although it was critically acclaimed by Maurice Blanchot , Michel Serres , Roland Barthes , Gaston Bachelard , and Fernand Braudel , it was largely ignored by the leftist press , much to Foucault 's disappointment . It was notably criticised for advocating metaphysics by young philosopher Jacques Derrida in a March 1963 lecture at the University of Paris . Responding with a vicious retort , Foucault criticised Derrida 's interpretation of René Descartes . The two remained bitter rivals until reconciling in 1981 . In the English - speaking world , the work became a significant influence on the anti-psychiatry movement during the 1960s ; Foucault took a mixed approach to this , associating with a number of anti-psychiatrists but arguing that most of them misunderstood his work . Foucault 's secondary thesis ( his thèse complémentaire written in Hamburg between 1959 and 1960 ) was a translation and commentary on German philosopher Immanuel Kant 's 1798 work Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View ( the title of his thesis was `` Introduction à l'Anthropologie '' , `` Introduction to Kant 's Anthropology '' ) . Largely consisting of Foucault 's discussion of textual dating -- an `` archaeology of the Kantian text '' -- he rounded off the thesis with an evocation of Nietzsche , his biggest philosophical influence . This work 's rapporteur was his old tutor and then director of the ENS , Hyppolite , who was well acquainted with German philosophy . After both theses were championed and reviewed , he underwent his public defense , the soutenance de thèse , on 20 May 1961 . The academics responsible for reviewing his work were concerned about the unconventional nature of his major thesis ; reviewer Henri Gouhier noted that it was not a conventional work of history , making sweeping generalisations without sufficient particular argument , and that Foucault clearly `` thinks in allegories '' . They all agreed however that the overall project was of merit , awarding Foucault his doctorate `` despite reservations '' . University of Clermont - Ferrand , the Birth of the Clinic , and the order of Things : 1960 -- 66 ( edit ) In October 1960 , Foucault took a tenured post in philosophy at the University of Clermont - Ferrand , commuting to the city every week from Paris , where he lived in a high - rise block on the rue du Dr Finlay . Responsible for teaching psychology , which was subsumed within the philosophy department , he was considered a `` fascinating '' but `` rather traditional '' teacher at Clermont . The department was run by Jules Vuillemin , who soon developed a friendship with Foucault . Foucault then took Vuillemin 's job when the latter was elected to the Collège de France in 1962 . In this position , Foucault took a dislike to another staff member whom he considered stupid : Roger Garaudy , a senior figure in the Communist Party . Foucault made life at the university difficult for Garaudy , leading the latter to transfer to Poitiers . Foucault also caused controversy by securing a university job for his lover , the philosopher Daniel Defert , with whom he retained a non-monogamous relationship for the rest of his life . Foucault adored the work of Raymond Roussel and authored a literary study of it . Foucault maintained a keen interest in literature , publishing reviews in amongst others the literary journals Tel Quel and Nouvelle Revue Française , and sitting on the editorial board of Critique . In May 1963 , he published a book devoted to poet , novelist , and playwright Raymond Roussel . It was written in under two months , published by Gallimard , and would be described by biographer David Macey as `` a very personal book '' that resulted from a `` love affair '' with Roussel 's work . It would be published in English in 1983 as Death and the Labyrinth : The World of Raymond Roussel . Receiving few reviews , it was largely ignored . That same year he published a sequel to Folie et déraison , entitled Naissance de la Clinique , subsequently translated as The Birth of the Clinic : An Archaeology of Medical Perception . Shorter than its predecessor , it focused on the changes that the medical establishment underwent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries . Like his preceding work , Naissance de la Clinique was largely critically ignored , but later gained a cult following . It was of interest within the field of medical ethics , as it considered the ways in which the history of medicine and hospitals , and the training that those working within them receive , bring about a particular way of looking at the body - the ' medical gaze ' . Foucault was also selected to be among the `` Eighteen Man Commission '' that assembled between November 1963 and March 1964 to discuss university reforms that were to be implemented by Christian Fouchet , the Gaullist Minister of National Education . Implemented in 1967 , they brought staff strikes and student protests . In April 1966 , Gallimard published Foucault 's Les Mots et les choses ( `` Words and Things '' ) , later translated as The Order of Things : An Archaeology of the Human Sciences . Exploring how man came to be an object of knowledge , it argued that all periods of history have possessed certain underlying conditions of truth that constituted what was acceptable as scientific discourse . Foucault argues that these conditions of discourse have changed over time , from one period 's episteme to another . Although designed for a specialist audience , the work gained media attention , becoming a surprise bestseller in France . Appearing at the height of interest in structuralism , Foucault was quickly grouped with scholars Jacques Lacan , Claude Lévi - Strauss , and Roland Barthes , as the latest wave of thinkers set to topple the existentialism popularized by Jean - Paul Sartre . Although initially accepting this description , Foucault soon vehemently rejected it . Foucault and Sartre regularly criticised one another in the press . Both Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir attacked Foucault 's ideas as `` bourgeois '' , while Foucault retaliated against their Marxist beliefs by proclaiming that `` Marxism exists in nineteenth - century thought as a fish exists in water ; that is , it ceases to breathe anywhere else . '' University of Tunis and Vincennes : 1966 -- 70 ( edit ) `` I lived ( in Tunisia ) for two and a half years . It made a real impression . I was present for large , violent student riots that preceded by several weeks what happened in May in France . This was March 1968 . The unrest lasted a whole year : strikes , courses suspended , arrests . And in March , a general strike by the students . The police came into the university , beat up the students , wounded several of them seriously , and started making arrests ... I have to say that I was tremendously impressed by those young men and women who took terrible risks by writing or distributing tracts or calling for strikes , the ones who really risked losing their freedom ! It was a political experience for me . '' -- Michel Foucault , 1983 In September 1966 , Foucault took a position teaching psychology at the University of Tunis in Tunisia . His decision to do so was largely because his lover , Defert , had been posted to the country as part of his national service . Foucault moved a few kilometres from Tunis , to the village of Sidi Bou Saïd , where fellow academic Gérard Deledalle lived with his wife . Soon after his arrival , Foucault announced that Tunisia was `` blessed by history '' , a nation which `` deserves to live forever because it was where Hannibal and St. Augustine lived . '' His lectures at the university proved very popular , and were well attended . Although many young students were enthusiastic about his teaching , they were critical of what they believed to be his right - wing political views , viewing him as a `` representative of Gaullist technocracy '' , even though he considered himself a leftist . Foucault was in Tunis during the anti-government and pro-Palestinian riots that rocked the city in June 1967 , and which continued for a year . Although highly critical of the violent , ultra-nationalistic and anti-semitic nature of many protesters , he used his status to try to prevent some of his militant leftist students from being arrested and tortured for their role in the agitation . He hid their printing press in his garden , and tried to testify on their behalf at their trials , but was prevented when the trials became closed - door events . While in Tunis , Foucault continued to write . Inspired by a correspondence with the surrealist artist René Magritte , Foucault started to write a book about the impressionist artist Édouard Manet , but never completed it . In 1968 , Foucault returned to Paris , moving into an apartment on the Rue de Vaugirard . After the May 1968 student protests , Minister of Education Edgar Faure responded by founding new universities with greater autonomy . Most prominent of these was the Centre Expérimental de Vincennes in Vincennes on the outskirts of Paris . A group of prominent academics were asked to select teachers to run the Centre 's departments , and Canguilheim recommended Foucault as head of the Philosophy Department . Becoming a tenured professor of Vincennes , Foucault 's desire was to obtain `` the best in French philosophy today '' for his department , employing Michel Serres , Judith Miller , Alain Badiou , Jacques Rancière , François Regnault , Henri Weber , Étienne Balibar , and François Châtelet ; most of them were Marxists or ultra-left activists . Lectures began at the university in January 1969 , and straight away its students and staff , including Foucault , were involved in occupations and clashes with police , resulting in arrests . In February , Foucault gave a speech denouncing police provocation to protesters at the Latin Quarter of the Mutualité . Such actions marked Foucault 's embrace of the ultra-left , undoubtedly influenced by Defert , who had gained a job at Vincennes ' sociology department and who had become a Maoist . Most of the courses at Foucault 's philosophy department were Marxist - Leninist oriented , although Foucault himself gave courses on Nietzsche , `` The end of Metaphysics '' , and `` The Discourse of Sexuality '' , which were highly popular and over-subscribed . While the right - wing press was heavily critical of this new institution , new Minister of Education Olivier Guichard was angered by its ideological bent and the lack of exams , with students being awarded degrees in a haphazard manner . He refused national accreditation of the department 's degrees , resulting in a public rebuttal from Foucault . Later life ( edit ) Collège de France and Discipline and Punish : 1970 -- 75 ( edit ) Foucault desired to leave Vincennes and become a fellow of the prestigious Collège de France . He requested to join , taking up a chair in what he called the `` history of systems of thought , '' and his request was championed by members Dumézil , Hyppolite , and Vuillemin . In November 1969 , when an opening became available , Foucault was elected to the Collège , though with opposition by a large minority . He gave his inaugural lecture in December 1970 , which was subsequently published as L'Ordre du discours ( The Discourse of Language ) . He was obliged to give 12 weekly lectures a year -- and did so for the rest of his life -- covering the topics that he was researching at the time ; these became `` one of the events of Parisian intellectual life '' and were repeatedly packed out events . On Mondays , he also gave seminars to a group of students ; many of them became a `` Foulcauldian tribe '' who worked with him on his research . He enjoyed this teamwork and collective research , and together they would publish a number of short books . Working at the Collège allowed him to travel widely , giving lectures in Brazil , Japan , Canada , and the United States over the next 14 years . In 1970 and 1972 , Foucault served as a professor in the French Department of the University at Buffalo in Buffalo , New York . In May 1971 , Foucault co-founded the Group d'Information sur les Prisons ( GIP ) along with historian Pierre Vidal - Naquet and journalist Jean - Marie Domenach . The GIP aimed to investigate and expose poor conditions in prisons and give prisoners and ex-prisoners a voice in French society . It was highly critical of the penal system , believing that it converted petty criminals into hardened delinquents . The GIP gave press conferences and staged protests surrounding the events of the Toul prison riot in December 1971 , alongside other prison riots that it sparked off ; in doing so it faced police crack down and repeated arrest . The group became active across France , with 2,000 to 3,000 , members , but disbanded before 1974 . Also campaigning against the death penalty , Foucault co-authored a short book on the case of the executed murderer Pierre Rivière . After his research into the penal system , Foucault published Surveiller et punir : Naissance de la prison ( Discipline and Punish ) in 1975 , offering a history of the system in western Europe . In it , Foucault examines the penal evolution away from corporal and capital punishment to the penitentiary system that began in Europe and the United States around the end of the 18th century . Biographer Didier Eribon described it as `` perhaps the finest '' of Foucault 's works , and it was well received . Foucault was also active in anti-racist campaigns ; in November 1971 , he was a leading figure in protests following the perceived racist killing of Arab migrant Dejellali Ben Ali . In this he worked alongside his old rival Sartre , the journalist Claude Mauriac , and one of his literary heroes , Jean Genet . This campaign was formalised as the Committee for the Defence of the Rights of Immigrants , but there was tension at their meetings as Foucault opposed the anti-Israeli sentiment of many Arab workers and Maoist activists . At a December 1972 protest against the police killing of Algerian worker Mohammad Diab , both Foucault and Genet were arrested , resulting in widespread publicity . Foucault was also involved in founding the Agence de Press - Libération ( APL ) , a group of leftist journalists who intended to cover news stories neglected by the mainstream press . In 1973 , they established the daily newspaper Libération , and Foucault suggested that they establish committees across France to collect news and distribute the paper , and advocated a column known as the `` Chronicle of the Workers ' Memory '' to allow workers ' to express their opinions . Foucault wanted an active journalistic role in the paper , but this proved untenable , and he soon became disillusioned with Libération , believing that it distorted the facts ; he would not publish in it until 1980 . The history of sexuality and Iranian Revolution : 1976 -- 79 ( edit ) In 1976 , Gallimard published Foucault 's Histoire de la sexualité : la volonté de savoir ( The History of Sexuality : The Will to Knowledge ) , a short book exploring what Foucault called the `` repressive hypothesis '' . It revolved largely around the concept of power , rejecting both Marxist and Freudian theory . Foucault intended it as the first in a seven - volume exploration of the subject . Histoire de la sexualité was a best - seller in France and gained positive press , but lukewarm intellectual interest , something that upset Foucault , who felt that many misunderstood his hypothesis . He soon became dissatisfied with Gallimard after being offended by senior staff member Pierre Nora . Along with Paul Veyne and François Wahl , Foucault launched a new series of academic books , known as Des travaux ( Some Works ) , through the company Seuil , which he hoped would improve the state of academic research in France . He also produced introductions for the memoirs of Herculine Barbin and My Secret Life . `` There exists an international citizenry that has its rights , and has its duties , and that is committed to rise up against every abuse of power , no matter who the author , no matter who the victims . After all , we are all ruled , and as such , we are in solidarity . '' -- Michel Foucault , 1981 Foucault remained a political activist , focusing on protesting government abuses of human rights around the world . He was a key player in the 1975 protests against the Spanish government to execute 11 militants sentenced to death without fair trial . It was his idea to travel to Madrid with 6 others to give their press conference there ; they were subsequently arrested and deported back to Paris . In 1977 , he protested the extradition of Klaus Croissant to West Germany , and his rib was fractured during clashes with riot police . In July that year , he organised an assembly of Eastern Bloc dissidents to mark the visit of Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev to Paris . In 1979 , he campaigned for Vietnamese political dissidents to be granted asylum in France . In 1977 , Italian newspaper Corriere della sera asked Foucault to write a column for them . In doing so , in 1978 he travelled to Tehran in Iran , days after the Black Friday massacre . Documenting the developing Iranian Revolution , he met with opposition leaders such as Mohammad Kazem Shariatmadari and Mehdi Bazargan , and discovered the popular support for Islamism . Returning to France , he was one of the journalists who visited the Ayatollah Khomeini , before visiting Tehran . His articles expressed awe of Khomeini 's Islamist movement , for which he was widely criticised in the French press , including by Iranian expatriates . Foucault 's response was that Islamism was to become a major political force in the region , and that the West must treat it with respect rather than hostility . In April 1978 , Foucault traveled to Japan , where he studied Zen Buddhism under Omori Sogen at the Seionji temple in Uenohara . Final years : 1980 -- 84 ( edit ) Although remaining critical of power relations , Foucault expressed cautious support for the Socialist Party government of François Mitterrand following its electoral victory in 1981 . But his support soon deteriorated when that party refused to condemn the Polish government 's crackdown on the 1982 demonstrations in Poland orchestrated by the Solidarity trade union . He and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu authored a document condemning Mitterrand 's inaction that was published in Libération , and they also took part in large public protests on the issue . Foucault continued to support Solidarity , and with his friend Simone Signoret traveled to Poland as part of a Médecins du Monde expedition , taking time out to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp . He continued his academic research , and in June 1984 Gallimard published the second and third volumes of Histoire de la sexualité . Volume two , L'Usage des plaisirs , dealt with the `` techniques of self '' prescribed by ancient Greek pagan morality in relation to sexual ethics , while volume three , Le Souci de soi , explored the same theme in the Greek and Latin texts of the first two centuries CE . A fourth volume , Les Aveux de la chair , was to examine sexuality in early Christianity , but it was not finished . In October 1980 , Foucault became a visiting professor at the University of California , Berkeley , giving the Howison Lectures on `` Truth and Subjectivity '' , while in November he lectured at the Humanities Institute at New York University . His growing popularity in American intellectual circles was noted by Time magazine , while Foucault went on to lecture at UCLA in 1981 , the University of Vermont in 1982 , and Berkeley again in 1983 , where his lectures drew huge crowds . Foucault spent many evenings in the San Francisco gay scene , frequenting sado - masochistic bathhouses , engaging in unprotected sex . He would praise sado - masochistic activity in interviews with the gay press , describing it as `` the real creation of new possibilities of pleasure , which people had no idea about previously . '' Foucault contracted HIV , which eventually developed into AIDS . Little was known of the virus at the time ; the first cases had only been identified in 1980 . In summer 1983 , he developed a persistent dry cough , which concerned friends in Paris , but Foucault insisted it was just a pulmonary infection . Only when hospitalized was Foucault correctly diagnosed ; treated with antibiotics , he delivered a final set of lectures at the Collège de France . Foucault entered Paris ' Hôpital de la Salpêtrière -- the same institution that he had studied in Madness and Civilisation -- on 10 June 1984 , with neurological symptoms complicated by septicemia . He died in the hospital on 25 June . On 26 June , Libération announced his death , mentioning the rumour that it had been brought on by AIDS . The following day , Le Monde issued a medical bulletin cleared by his family which made no reference to HIV / AIDS . On 29 June , Foucault 's la levée du corps ceremony was held , in which the coffin was carried from the hospital morgue . Hundreds attended , including activist and academic friends , while Gilles Deleuze gave a speech using excerpts from The History of Sexuality . His body was then buried at Vendeuvre in a small ceremony . Soon after his death , Foucault 's partner Daniel Defert founded the first national HIV / AIDS organisation in France , AIDES ; a pun on the French language word for `` help '' ( aide ) and the English language acronym for the disease . On the second anniversary of Foucault 's death , Defert publicly revealed that Foucault 's death was AIDS - related in The Advocate . Personal life ( edit ) Foucault 's first biographer , Didier Eribon , described the philosopher as `` a complex , many - sided character '' , and that `` under one mask there is always another '' . He also noted that he exhibited an `` enormous capacity for work '' . At the ENS , Foucault 's classmates unanimously summed him up as a figure who was both `` disconcerting and strange '' and `` a passionate worker '' . As he aged , his personality changed : Eribon noted that while he was a `` tortured adolescent '' , post-1960 , he had become `` a radiant man , relaxed and cheerful '' , even being described by those who worked with him as a dandy . He noted that in 1969 , Foucault embodied the idea of `` the militant intellectual '' . Foucault was an atheist . He was also a fan of classical music , particularly enjoying the work of Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , and became known for wearing turtleneck jumpers . After his death , Foucault 's friend Georges Dumézil described him as having possessed `` a profound kindness and goodness '' , also exhibiting an `` intelligence ( that ) literally knew no bounds . '' His life - partner Daniel Defert inherited his estate . Thought ( edit ) Further information : Michel Foucault bibliography Foucault 's colleague Pierre Bourdieu summarised the philosopher 's thought as `` a long exploration of transgression , of going beyond social limits , always inseparably linked to knowledge and power . '' `` The theme that underlies all Foucault 's work is the relationship between power and knowledge , and how the former is used to control and define the latter . What authorities claim as ' scientific knowledge ' are really just means of social control . Foucault shows how , for instance , in the eighteenth century ' madness ' was used to categorise and stigmatise not just the mentally ill but the poor , the sick , the homeless and , indeed , anyone whose expressions of individuality were unwelcome . '' -- Philip Stokes , Philosophy : 100 Essential Thinkers ( 2004 ) Philosopher Philip Stokes of the University of Reading noted that overall , Foucault 's work was `` dark and pessimistic '' , but that it did leave some room for optimism , in that it illustrates how the discipline of philosophy can be used to highlight areas of domination . In doing so , Stokes claimed , we are able to understand how we are being dominated and strive to build social structures that minimise this risk of domination . In all of this development there had to be close attention to detail ; it is the detail which eventually individualises people . Later in his life , Foucault explained that his work was less about analysing power as a phenomenon than about trying to characterise the different ways in which contemporary society has expressed the use of power to `` objectivise subjects . '' These have taken three broad forms : one involving scientific authority to classify and ' order ' knowledge about human populations . A second , and related form , has been to categorise and ' normalise ' human subjects ( by identifying madness , illness , physical features , and so on ) . The third relates to the manner in which the impulse to fashion sexual identities and train one 's own body to engage in routines and practices ends up reproducing certain patterns within a given society . Political ( edit ) Politically , Foucault was a leftist through much of his life , but his particular stance within the left often changed . Towards the end , as he suffered from AIDS , he adopted classical liberalism and had a strong interest in Stoic philosophy . In the early 1950s he had been a member of the French Communist Party , although he never adopted an orthodox Marxist viewpoint and left the party after three years , disgusted by the prejudice against Jews and homosexuals within its ranks . After spending some time working in Poland , then governed as a socialist state by the Polish United Workers ' Party , he became further disillusioned with communist ideology . As a result , in the early 1960s he was considered to be `` violently anticommunist '' by some of his detractors , even though he was involved in leftist campaigns along with most of his students and colleagues . Literature ( edit ) In addition to his philosophical work , Foucault also wrote on literature . Death and the Labyrinth : The World of Raymond Roussel was published in 1963 , and translated into English in 1986 . It is Foucault 's only book - length work on literature . Foucault described it as `` by far the book I wrote most easily , with the greatest pleasure , and most rapidly . '' Foucault explores theory , criticism , and psychology with reference to the texts of Raymond Roussel , one of the first notable experimental writers . Influence ( edit ) Foucault 's discussions on power and discourse have inspired many critical theorists , who believe that Foucault 's analysis of power structures could aid the struggle against inequality . They claim that through discourse analysis , hierarchies may be uncovered and questioned by way of analyzing the corresponding fields of knowledge through which they are legitimated . This is one of the ways that Foucault 's work is linked to critical theory . His discussion on power and discourse also influences the postcolonial critique in explaining the discursive formation of colonialism In 2007 , Foucault was listed as the most cited scholar in the humanities by the ISI Web of Science among a large quantity of French philosophers , the compilation 's author commenting that `` What this says of modern scholarship is for the reader to decide -- and it is imagined that judgments will vary from admiration to despair , depending on one 's view '' . Critiques and engagements ( edit ) Crypto - normativity ( edit ) Main article : Foucault -- Habermas debate A prominent critique of Foucault 's thought concerns his refusal to propose positive solutions to the social and political issues that he critiques . Since no human relation is devoid of power , freedom becomes elusive -- even as an ideal . This stance which critiques normativity as socially constructed and contingent , but which relies on an implicit norm in order to mount the critique led philosopher Jürgen Habermas to describe Foucault 's thinking as `` crypto - normativist '' , covertly reliant on the very Enlightenment principles he attempts to argue against . A similar critique has been advanced by Diana Taylor , and by Nancy Fraser who argues that `` Foucault 's critique encompasses traditional moral systems , he denies himself recourse to concepts such as ' freedom ' and ' justice ' , and therefore lacks the ability to generate positive alternatives . '' Likewise , scholar Nancy Pearcey points out Foucault 's paradoxical stance : `` ( when someone ) states that it is impossible to attain objectivity , is that an objective statement ? The theory undercuts its own claims . '' Genealogy as historical method ( edit ) The philosopher Richard Rorty has argued that Foucault 's ' archaeology of knowledge ' is fundamentally negative , and thus fails to adequately establish any ' new ' theory of knowledge per se . Rather , Foucault simply provides a few valuable maxims regarding the reading of history . Rorty writes : As far as I can see , all he has to offer are brilliant redescriptions of the past , supplemented by helpful hints on how to avoid being trapped by old historiographical assumptions . These hints consist largely of saying : `` do not look for progress or meaning in history ; do not see the history of a given activity , of any segment of culture , as the development of rationality or of freedom ; do not use any philosophical vocabulary to characterize the essence of such activity or the goal it serves ; do not assume that the way this activity is presently conducted gives any clue to the goals it served in the past . Foucault has frequently been criticized by historians for what they consider to be a lack of rigor in his analyses . For example , Hans - Ulrich Wehler harshly criticized Foucault in 1998 . Wehler regards Foucault as a bad philosopher who wrongfully received a good response by the humanities and by social sciences . According to Wehler , Foucault 's works are not only insufficient in their empiric historical aspects , but also often contradictory and lacking in clarity . For example , Foucault 's concept of power is `` desperatingly undifferentiated '' , and Foucault 's thesis of a `` disciplinary society '' is , according to Wehler , only possible because Foucault does not properly differentiate between authority , force , power , violence and legitimacy . In addition , his thesis is based on a one - sided choice of sources ( prisons and psychiatric institutions ) and neglects other types of organizations as e.g. factories . Also , Wehler criticizes Foucault 's `` francocentrism '' because he did not take into consideration major German - speaking theorists of social sciences like Max Weber and Norbert Elias . In all , Wehler concludes that Foucault is `` because of the endless series of flaws in his so - called empirical studies ... an intellectually dishonest , empirically absolutely unreliable , crypto - normativist seducer of Postmodernism '' . Feminist critiques ( edit ) Though American feminists have built on Foucault 's critiques of the historical construction of gender roles and sexuality , some feminists note the limitations of the masculinist subjectivity and ethical orientation that he describes . Queer theory ( edit ) Foucault 's approach to sexuality , which he sees as socially constructed , has become influential . Foucault 's resistance to identity politics , and his rejection of the psychoanalytic concept of object choice , stands at odds with some theories of queer identity . Social constructionism and human nature ( edit ) Foucault is sometimes criticized for his prominent formulation of principles of social constructionism , which some see as an affront to the concept of truth . In Foucault 's 1971 televised debate with Noam Chomsky , Foucault argued against the possibility of any fixed human nature , as posited by Chomsky 's concept of innate human faculties . Chomsky argued that concepts of justice were rooted in human reason , whereas Foucault rejected the universal basis for a concept of justice . Following the debate , Chomsky was stricken with Foucault 's total rejection of the possibility of a universal morality , stating `` He struck me as completely amoral , I 'd never met anyone who was so totally amoral ( ... ) I mean , I liked him personally , it 's just that I could n't make sense of him . It 's as if he was from a different species , or something . '' Education and authority ( edit ) Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa , while acknowledging that Foucault contributed to give a right of citizenship in cultural life to certain marginal and eccentric experiences ( of sexuality , of cultural repression , of madness ) , asserts that his radical critique of authority was detrimental to education . Foucault 's notion of observation , and its power to change individuals ' behavior as a subtle type of authority , influences many fields of education .

About Wikipedia | identify a french critical theorist who was concerned with power of institutions | [
"Foucault's theories primarily address the relationship between power and knowledge, and how they are used as a form of social control through societal institutions. Though often cited as a post-structuralist and postmodernist, Foucault rejected these labels, preferring to present his thought as a critical history of modernity. His thought has influenced academics, especially those working in communication studies, sociology, cultural studies, literary theory, feminism, and critical theory. Activist groups have also found his theories compelling."

It is a Grade I race run over a distance of 9.5 furlongs ( 1 ⁄ miles ( 1,900 m ) on dirt . Colts and geldings carry 126 pounds ( 57 kg ) ; fillies 121 lb ( 55 kg ) . It is the second jewel of the Triple Crown , held two weeks after the Kentucky Derby and two or three weeks before the Belmont Stakes . First run in 1873 , the Preakness Stakes was named by a former Maryland governor after a winning colt at Pimlico . The race has been termed `` The Run for the Black - Eyed Susans '' because a blanket of yellow flowers altered to resemble Maryland 's state flower is placed across the withers of the winning colt or filly . Attendance at the Preakness Stakes ranks second in North America among equestrian events , only surpassed by the Kentucky Derby . The 143rd running of the Preakness Stakes took place on Saturday , May 19 , 2018 .

Then Maryland governor Oden Bowie named the then mile and one - half ( 2.41 km ) race in honor of the colt Preakness from Milton Holbrook Sanford 's Preakness Stables in Preakness , Wayne Township , New Jersey , who won the Dinner Party Stakes on the day Pimlico opened ( October 25 , 1870 ) . The New Jersey name was said to have come from the Native American name Pra - qua - les ( `` Quail Woods '' ) for the area . After Preakness won the Dinner Party Stakes , his jockey , Billy Hayward , untied a silk bag of gold coins that hung from a wire stretched across the track from the judges ' stand . This was the supposed way that the `` wire '' at the finish line was introduced and how the awarding of `` purse '' money came to be . In reality , the term `` purse '' , meaning prize money , had been in use for well over a century . Sir Barton , winner in 1919 The first Preakness , held on May 27 , 1873 , drew seven starters . John Chamberlain 's three - year - old , Survivor , collected the $2,050 winning purse by galloping home easily by 10 lengths . This was the largest margin of victory until 2004 , when Smarty Jones won by 11 1 / 2 lengths . In 1890 Morris Park Racecourse in the Bronx , New York hosted the Preakness Stakes . This race was run under handicap conditions , and the age restriction was lifted . The race was won by a five - year - old horse named Montague . After 1890 , there was no race run for three years . For the 15 years from 1894 through 1908 , the race was held at Gravesend Race Track on Coney Island , New York . In 1909 it returned to Pimlico . Seven editions of the Preakness Stakes have been run under handicap conditions , in which more accomplished or favored horses are assigned to carry heavier weight . It was first run under these conditions in 1890 and again in the years 1910 - 1915 . During these years , the race was known as the Preakness Handicap . In March 2009 Magna Entertainment Corp. , which owns Pimlico , filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy thus throwing open the possibility the Stakes could move again . On April 13 , 2009 , the Maryland Legislature approved a plan to buy the Stakes and the Pimlico course if Magna Entertainment can not find a buyer . Attendance at the Preakness Stakes ranks second in North America and usually surpasses the attendance of all other stakes races including the Belmont Stakes , the Breeders ' Cup and the Kentucky Oaks . The attendance of the Preakness Stakes typically only trails the Kentucky Derby , for more information see American Thoroughbred Racing top Attended Events . In February 2017 , the Maryland Stadium Authority released the first phase of a study saying that Pimlico needed $250 million in renovations . As of May 2017 , no one showed interest in financing the work . The Stronach Group , owner of Pimlico Race Course and Laurel Park , was only interested in moving the Preakness Stakes to Laurel Park unless someone else financed work on Pimlico . Evolution of the Triple Crown series ( edit ) The Preakness is the second leg in American thoroughbred racing 's Triple Crown series and almost always attracts the Kentucky Derby winner , some of the other horses that ran in the Derby , and often a few horses that did not start in the Derby . The Preakness is 1 ⁄ miles , or 9 ⁄ furlongs ( 1.88 km ) , compared to the Kentucky Derby , which is 1 ⁄ miles / 10 furlongs ( 2km ) . It is followed by the third leg , the Belmont Stakes , which is 1 ⁄ miles / 12 furlongs ( 2.4 km ) . Since 1932 , the order of Triple Crown races has the Kentucky Derby first , followed by the Preakness Stakes and then the Belmont Stakes . Prior to 1932 , the Preakness was run before the Derby eleven times . On May 12 , 1917 , and again on May 13 , 1922 , the Preakness and the Derby were run on the same day . Today , the Preakness is run on the third Saturday in May , two weeks after the Kentucky Derby , and three weeks before the Belmont Stakes . Consequently , the race is run no earlier than May 15 , and no later than May 21 . Running the race ( edit ) The weather vane at Pimlico is painted with the winner 's colors Just after the horses for the Preakness are called to the post , the audience is invited to sing `` Maryland , My Maryland '' , the official state song of Maryland . Traditionally , the Baltimore Colts ' Marching Band led the song from the infield . Today , the United States Naval Academy Glee Club leads the song . As soon as the Preakness winner has been declared official , a painter climbs a ladder to the top of a replica of the Old Clubhouse cupola . The colors of the victorious owner 's silks are applied on the jockey and horse that are part of the weather vane atop the infield structure . The practice began in 1909 when a horse and rider weather vane sat atop the old Members ' Clubhouse , which was constructed when Pimlico opened in 1870 . The Victorian building was destroyed by fire in June 1966 . A replica of the old building 's cupola was built to stand in the Preakness winner 's circle in the infield . A blanket of yellow flowers daubed with black lacquer to recreate the appearance of a black - eyed Susan ( see Winning ) is placed around the winning horse 's neck at this time , and a replica of the Woodlawn Vase is given to the winning horse 's owner . Should that horse have also won the Kentucky Derby , speculation and excitement immediately begin to mount as to whether that horse will go on to win the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing at the Belmont Stakes in June . Winning the race ( edit ) In 1917 , the first Woodlawn Vase was awarded to the Preakness winner , who was not allowed to keep it . Eventually a half - size reproduction of the trophy was given to winners to keep permanently . The original trophy is kept at the Baltimore Museum of Art and brought to the race each year under guard , for the winner 's presentation ceremony . In 1940 , it was proposed to drape the winning horse in a garland of the Maryland State flower , Rudbeckia hirta , commonly called black - eyed Susans . This posed a problem , as the race is run nearly two months before the flowers come into bloom in late June or July . At first , yellow Viking daisies were painted to resemble black - eyed Susans . Painted flowers have been discontinued since the first decade of the current millennium and viking poms , a member of the chrysanthemum family , are now used . Although the Preakness is sometimes referred to as `` the race for the black - eyed Susans '' , no black - eyed Susan is ever used . In 1918 , 26 horses entered the race , and it was run in two divisions , providing for two winners that year . Currently , the race is limited to 14 horses . In 1948 , the Preakness was televised for the first time by CBS . The Preakness has been run at seven different distances : 1 ⁄ miles ( 2.41 km ) : 1873 -- 1888 , 1890 1 ⁄ miles ( 2.01 km ) : 1889 1 ⁄ miles ( 1.71 km ) : 1894 -- 1900 , 1908 1 mile 70 yards ( 1.67 km ) : 1901 -- 1907 1 mile ( 1.61 km ) : 1909 , 1910 1 ⁄ miles ( 1.81 km ) : 1911 -- 1924 1 ⁄ miles ( 1.91 km ) : 1925 -- present Purse money ( edit ) At its inauguration in 1873 , the Preakness carried a value of $1,000 . The first major increase occurred in 1919 when the race had a $25,000 value . It climbed to $100,000 in 1946 and in 1959 was raised to $150,000 . Subsequent increases occurred from 1979 to 1989 , when the purse rose four times from $200,000 to $500,000 , before going to $1 million in 1997 . On December 12 , 2013 , the Maryland Jockey Club announced for the 2014 running of the Preakness the purse would be increased from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 . InfieldFest ( edit ) The race has had something of a party atmosphere in the past , especially in the infield , which is general admission . The course had a `` bring your own booze '' policy until 2009 , formerly including kegs of beer but in the 2000s restricted to all the beer cans a person could carry in a cooler . However , despite crowds in excess of 100,000 , the BYOB policy was canceled in 2009 after videos of intoxicated people running along the tops of lines of portable toilets while being pelted by beer cans reached a large audience . In 2009 , with the alcohol ban , race attendance dropped to 77,850 after topping 100,000 for eight consecutive years . In 2010 , and the Maryland Jockey Club responded with a new event called `` InfieldFest '' with performances by musical acts , the `` Mug Club '' , which included an infield ticket and an unlimited - refill beer mug , and a mascot named `` Kegasus '' , a play on keg and pegasus ( though actually a centaur ) . The much - derided Kegasus was retired in 2013 . In 2010 , ticket sales had recovered to 95,760 and have since stayed high . Aside from InfieldFest , the race is known for its fancy hats and official cocktail , the Black - eyed Susan , made with vodka , St - Germain liqueur and pineapple , lime and orange juices . Records ( edit ) Speed record : 1 ⁄ miles ( 1.91 km ) - 1 : 53 - Secretariat ( 1973 ) Secretariat , the 1973 winner ( and ultimately Triple Crown winner ) was originally credited with a running time of 1 : 55 . Two Daily Racing Form clockers , however , had timed Secretariat 's Preakness in 1 : 53 ⁄ , which would be a new stakes record . A hearing was held over the time discrepancy , where a video replay showed Secretariat reached the wire faster than Canonero II , the then - current record holder , but instead of giving Secretariat the record , the Maryland Jockey Club decided to split the difference and make its official time that of Pimlico 's clocker , who had timed the race in 1 : 54 ⁄ . The matter was finally resolved in June 2012 , when a meeting of the Maryland Racing Commission unanimously ruled to change Secretariat 's final time to 1 : 53 based on testimony and analysis of the race replays . Consequently , Secretariat holds the current official record for all three Triple Crown races .

As Tonya grows up , LaVona takes her out of school to focus on her skating career , and she trains extensively under coach Diane Rawlinson . Tonya quickly becomes one of the best figure skaters in the United States , but is unable to move beyond her `` white trash '' reputation , homemade costumes and unconventional choice of performance music . At 15 , Tonya begins dating 18 - year - old Jeff Gillooly despite her mother 's disapproval . Tonya marries Jeff in order to move out of her mother 's home , but soon Jeff begins physically abusing her as well . LaVona scorns Tonya for putting up with it , but Tonya blames LaVona for raising her in an abusive environment . Meanwhile , Tonya takes on a new coach and becomes the first female figure skater to complete two triple axel jumps in one competition . However , Tonya fails to stick her landings and comes in fourth place at the Olympics . Defeated , she returns to Portland and takes a job as a waitress , but her first coach Diane Rawlinson convinces her to train for the 1994 Winter Olympics . Tonya visits her estranged mother who chastises her for seeking kindness , claiming that she made her a champion , knowing she 'd hate her for it . After Tonya 's confidence is shaken by an anonymous death threat prior to a performance , Jeff realizes he can do the same to Tonya 's main rival Nancy Kerrigan . However , Jeff 's delusional friend Shawn Eckhart , seeking notoriety and prestige , hires two inept crooks to attack Kerrigan after a practice session in Detroit . Kerrigan 's knee is badly injured by Shane Stant , and both men involved are soon arrested . Eckhardt 's bragging around town quickly leads the FBI to him . He points the finger at Jeff , who is horrified to learn that Eckhardt gave orders beyond sending death threats via letters . Tonya qualifies for the Olympic team amid the allegations that she was involved in Kerrigan 's attack . Realizing that she will be found guilty by the association , she goes to the FBI and tells them what Jeff and Shawn did , who then show her written testimony to Jeff during the interview , and he races to her house to attack her . Tonya leaves him for good and he implicates her to the authorities , claiming she knew about the attack . Back in Portland , Tonya finds herself in a media circus . LaVona visits Tonya and offers her kind words ; she finally tells her she is proud of her and that she is on her side . However , when LaVona asks if Tonya knew anything about the attack , Tonya realizes she is wearing a recording device and ejects her from her home . Jeff , Eckhardt and Stant are all sentenced , with Tonya 's trial postponed until after the Olympics . After a failed attempt at the triple axel , despite being given extensive wait time to fix her broken skate lace , Tonya comes in eighth place and Kerrigan wins the silver medal . Tonya avoids jail but is given three years probation , 500 hours of community service , and a $100,000 fine . She is also forced to withdraw from the 1994 World Figure Skating Championships and is banned from competitive figure skating for life . Heartbroken , she begs the judge to give her jail time rather than take away the one thing she knows how to do ; the judge declines . Jeff acknowledges that he ruined Tonya 's career , changes his name and remarries . Tonya embraces her notoriety and becomes a boxer , while becoming a nurturing mother to her own children . Cast ( edit ) Margot Robbie as Tonya Harding Mckenna Grace as young Tonya Harding Maizie Smith as Tonya Harding ( age 4 ) Sebastian Stan as Jeff Gillooly , Harding 's lover and friend , later husband Allison Janney as LaVona Golden , Harding 's mother Julianne Nicholson as Diane Rawlinson , Harding 's skating coach and Bob 's wife Caitlin Carver as Nancy Kerrigan , Harding 's skating rival and Olympic teammate , and the victim of the 1994 attack Bojana Novakovic as Dody Teachman , another of Harding 's coaches Paul Walter Hauser as Shawn Eckhardt , a bodyguard and friend of Gillooly Bobby Cannavale as Martin Maddox , a television producer Dan Triandiflou as Bob Rawlinson , Diane 's husband Ricky Russert as Shane Stant , hired by Jeff and Shawn to attack Nancy Production ( edit ) Screenwriter Steven Rogers was inspired to write the film after watching a documentary about ice skating which mentioned Tonya Harding. Rogers arranged interviews with Harding and ex-husband Jeff Gillooly . Both remembered the events of the 1994 attack on Nancy Kerrigan very differently . Rogers decided : `` Well , that 's my way in : to put everyone 's point of view out there , and then let the audience decide . '' Margot Robbie , who played Harding and co-produced the film , did not realize the screenplay was based on a real event until after she finished reading it . Immediately prior to filming , Robbie flew from Los Angeles to Portland , Oregon to meet Harding . To prepare for the skating scenes , Robbie trained for four months . Heidi Munger and Anna Malkova served as skating doubles and Sarah Kawahara provided coaching and choreography . Rogers wrote the role of Tonya 's mother LaVona for Allison Janney ; she was a longtime friend of Rogers , but the `` stars had ( not ) aligned '' for them to work together until he completed the script for I , Tonya . Janney said the part was one of the most challenging of her career . Principal photography began in late January 2017 in Macon , Georgia , where Macon Coliseum was used as a set . Throughout the shoot , Robbie suffered from a herniated disc in her neck and had routine MRIs to ensure it was safe for her to continue filming skating scenes . Filming wrapped in late February of that year , with pickups in Atlanta on May 16 . Music ( edit ) Some of the songs of the soundtrack were used in Harding 's real routines , such as ZZ Top 's `` Sleeping Bag '' . Others were selected by music supervisor Susan Jacobs : tracks from 1970s such as Fleetwood Mac 's `` The Chain '' or Supertramp 's `` Goodbye Stranger '' came from an era when music was `` powerful and full '' and `` warm . '' Jacobs felt the `` classic rock songs filled the picture without getting in the way of the story . '' Critic Emily Manning found that other , such as En Vogue 's `` Free Your Mind '' and Heart 's `` Barracuda '' , created `` an interesting parallel between Tonya 's tenacity and ambition . '' The film ends with Siouxsie and the Banshees ' cover of `` The Passenger '' ; Manning wrote : `` There was something really right about seeing Tonya skate to Siouxsie . '' Jacobs said that `` The Passenger '' was `` something obviously female and the lyrics ( resonated ) '' . The lyrics of Dire Straits ' `` Romeo and Juliet '' were also important as `` they felt like the story '' . A soundtrack was released on December 8 , 2017 , by Milan Records , featuring songs used in the film by various artists and tracks from the original score .

Shortly after , Neon acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film . It was theatrically released on December 8 , 2017 . Asked in January 2018 if she had seen the film , Kerrigan responded that she had not and that `` I was the victim '' and she was `` just busy living ( her ) life . '' Home media ( edit ) The film was released on DVD and Blu - Ray on March 13 , 2018 . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) I , Tonya has grossed $30 million in the United States and Canada , and $16.3 million in other territories , for a worldwide total of $46.3 million . After making $11.6 million over a month in limited release , the film made $2.9 million from 799 theaters in its wide weekend . After the film earned its three Oscar nominations , it was added to 161 theaters the following week and made $3 million . Critical response ( edit ) Allison Janney 's portrayal of LaVona Golden was highly praised and earned her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , I , Tonya holds an approval rating of 90 % based on 304 reviews , with an average rating of 7.7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads : `` Led by strong work from Margot Robbie and Alison Janney , I , Tonya finds the humor in its real - life story without losing sight of its more tragic -- and emotionally resonant -- elements . '' On Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating to reviews , the film has a weighted average score of 77 out of 100 , based on 46 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com gave the film three and a half out of four , describing it as `` an irresistible , soapy mix of jealousy , competition and class warfare , fortified by powerful performances and unexpected emotional resonance . '' In Rolling Stone , Peter Travers wrote that the film holds `` a mirror up to the class - conscious America most of us tend to ignore or dismiss -- and makes us see ourselves reflected in it , too . I , Tonya is funny as hell , but the pain is just as real . You 'll laugh till it hurts . '' Vulture praised Robbie 's performance , feeling she had found a new `` weight '' . Richard Brody of The New Yorker felt the film failed to find an original depiction of the working class , and `` treats Tonya 's background , her tastes , her habits , her way of talking , as a joke ... The result is a film that 's as derisive and dismissive toward Tonya Harding as it shows the world at large to have been '' . In The Guardian , Jean Hannah Eldestein felt that the film was `` played for laughs '' at the expense of its subject . Allison Janney was widely lauded for her performance as LaVona Golden , singled out for praise by critics . Christy Lemire of Roger Ebert.com said : `` Janney absolutely tears it up as the profane , chain - smoking LaVona Harding , constantly insulting Tonya and messing with her mind in the name of making her a champion . It 's a showy , scenery - chewing performance but it 's not one - note ; Janney brings an undercurrent of sorrow to the part in revealing LaVona 's twisted methodology . '' Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post wrote that : Janney steals every scene she 's in , playing LaVona , a harridan whose nodding goes beyond tough love . Helen O'Hara from Empire called Janney 's performance flawless and flamboyant , and an unforgettable one .

Total : 3,327 ( or 3,547 according to other sources ) Notes : Lifeboats : 20 ( sufficient for 1,178 people ) RMS Titanic ( / taɪˈtænɪk / ) was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912 , after it collided with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City . There were an estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard the ship , and more than 1,500 died , making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history . The RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time it entered service and was the second of three Olympic - class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line . The Titanic was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast . Thomas Andrews , her architect , died in the disaster . Titanic was under the command of Edward Smith , who also went down with the ship . The ocean liner carried some of the wealthiest people in the world , as well as hundreds of emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland , Scandinavia and elsewhere throughout Europe who were seeking a new life in the United States . The first - class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury , with an on - board gymnasium , swimming pool , libraries , high - class restaurants and opulent cabins . A high - powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger `` marconigrams '' and for the ship 's operational use . Although Titanic had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors , there were not enough lifeboats to accommodate all of those aboard , due to outdated maritime safety regulations . Titanic only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people -- slightly more than half of the number on board , and one third of her total capacity . After leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912 , Titanic called at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown ( now Cobh ) in Ireland before heading west to New York . On 14 April , four days into the crossing and about 375 miles ( 600 km ) south of Newfoundland , she hit an iceberg at 11 : 40 p.m. ship 's time . The collision caused the ship 's hull plates to buckle inwards along her starboard ( right ) side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea ; she could only survive four flooding . Meanwhile , passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats , many of which were launched only partially loaded . A disproportionate number of men were left aboard because of a `` women and children first '' protocol for loading lifeboats . At 2 : 20 a.m. , she broke apart and foundered -- with well over one thousand people still aboard . Just under two hours after the Titanic sank , the Cunard liner RMS Carpathia arrived at the scene , where she brought aboard an estimated 705 survivors . The disaster was met with worldwide shock and outrage at the huge loss of life and the regulatory and operational failures that had led to it . Public inquiries in Britain and the United States led to major improvements in maritime safety . One of their most important legacies was the establishment in 1914 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea ( SOLAS ) , which still governs maritime safety today . Additionally , several new wireless regulations were passed around the world in an effort to learn from the many missteps in wireless communications -- which could have saved many more passengers . The wreck of Titanic was first discovered in 1985 ( more than 70 years after the disaster ) , and the vessel remains on the seabed . The ship was split in two and is gradually disintegrating at a depth of 12,415 feet ( 3,784 m ) . Since her discovery in 1985 , thousands of artefacts have been recovered and put on display at museums around the world . Titanic has become one of the most famous ships in history ; her memory is kept alive by numerous works of popular culture , including books , folk songs , films , exhibits , and memorials . Titanic is the second largest ocean liner wreck in the world , only beaten by her sister HMHS Britannic , the largest ever sunk .

Built in Belfast , Ireland , in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ( as it was then known ) , the RMS Titanic was the second of the three Olympic - class ocean liners -- the first was the RMS Olympic and the third was the HMHS Britannic . They were by far the largest vessels of the British shipping company White Star Line 's fleet , which comprised 29 steamers and tenders in 1912 . The three ships had their genesis in a discussion in mid-1907 between the White Star Line 's chairman , J. Bruce Ismay , and the American financier J.P. Morgan , who controlled the White Star Line 's parent corporation , the International Mercantile Marine Co . ( IMM ) . The White Star Line faced an increasing challenge from its main rivals Cunard , which had recently launched the Lusitania and the Mauretania -- the fastest passenger ships then in service -- and the German lines Hamburg America and Norddeutscher Lloyd . Ismay preferred to compete on size rather than speed and proposed to commission a new class of liners that would be larger than anything that had gone before as well as being the last word in comfort and luxury . The company sought an upgrade in their fleet primarily in response to the Cunard giants but also to replace their oldest pair of passenger ships still in service , being the SS Teutonic of 1889 and SS Majestic of 1890 . Teutonic was replaced by Olympic while Majestic was replaced by Titanic . Majestic would be brought back into her old spot on White Star 's New York service after Titanic 's loss . The ships were constructed by the Belfast shipbuilders Harland and Wolff , who had a long - established relationship with the White Star Line dating back to 1867 . Harland and Wolff were given a great deal of latitude in designing ships for the White Star Line ; the usual approach was for the latter to sketch out a general concept which the former would take away and turn into a ship design . Cost considerations were relatively low on the agenda and Harland and Wolff was authorised to spend what it needed on the ships , plus a five percent profit margin . In the case of the Olympic - class ships , a cost of £ 3 million ( £ 250 million in 2015 money ) for the first two ships was agreed plus `` extras to contract '' and the usual five percent fee . Harland and Wolff put their leading designers to work designing the Olympic - class vessels . The design was overseen by Lord Pirrie , a director of both Harland and Wolff and the White Star Line ; naval architect Thomas Andrews , the managing director of Harland and Wolff 's design department ; Edward Wilding , Andrews ' deputy and responsible for calculating the ship 's design , stability and trim ; and Alexander Carlisle , the shipyard 's chief draughtsman and general manager . Carlisle 's responsibilities included the decorations , equipment and all general arrangements , including the implementation of an efficient lifeboat davit design . On 29 July 1908 , Harland and Wolff presented the drawings to J. Bruce Ismay and other White Star Line executives . Ismay approved the design and signed three `` letters of agreement '' two days later , authorising the start of construction . At this point the first ship -- which was later to become Olympic -- had no name , but was referred to simply as `` Number 400 '' , as it was Harland and Wolff 's four hundredth hull . Titanic was based on a revised version of the same design and was given the number 401 . Dimensions and layout Titanic in 1912 Titanic was 882 feet 9 inches ( 269.06 m ) long with a maximum breadth of 92 feet 6 inches ( 28.19 m ) . Her total height , measured from the base of the keel to the top of the bridge , was 104 feet ( 32 m ) . She measured 46,328 gross register tons and with a draught of 34 feet 7 inches ( 10.54 m ) , she displaced 52,310 tons . All three of the Olympic - class ships had ten decks ( excluding the top of the officers ' quarters ) , eight of which were for passenger use . From top to bottom , the decks were : The Boat Deck , on which the lifeboats were housed . It was from here during the early hours of 15 April 1912 that Titanic 's lifeboats were lowered into the North Atlantic . The bridge and wheelhouse were at the forward end , in front of the captain 's and officers ' quarters . The bridge stood 8 feet ( 2.4 m ) above the deck , extending out to either side so that the ship could be controlled while docking . The wheelhouse stood directly behind and above the bridge . The entrance to the First Class Grand Staircase and gymnasium were located midships along with the raised roof of the First Class lounge , while at the rear of the deck were the roof of the First Class smoke room and the relatively modest Second Class entrance . The wood - covered deck was divided into four segregated promenades : for officers , First Class passengers , engineers , and Second Class passengers respectively . Lifeboats lined the side of the deck except in the First Class area , where there was a gap so that the view would not be spoiled . A Deck , also called the Promenade Deck , extended along the entire 546 feet ( 166 m ) length of the superstructure . It was reserved exclusively for First Class passengers and contained First Class cabins , the First Class lounge , smoke room , reading and writing rooms and Palm Court . B Deck , the Bridge Deck , was the top weight - bearing deck and the uppermost level of the hull . More First Class passenger accommodations were located here with six palatial staterooms ( cabins ) featuring their own private promenades . On Titanic , the À La Carte Restaurant and the Café Parisien provided luxury dining facilities to First Class passengers . Both were run by subcontracted chefs and their staff ; all were lost in the disaster . The Second Class smoking room and entrance hall were both located on this deck . The raised forecastle of the ship was forward of the Bridge Deck , accommodating Number 1 hatch ( the main hatch through to the cargo holds ) , numerous pieces of machinery and the anchor housings . Aft of the Bridge Deck was the raised Poop Deck , 106 feet ( 32 m ) long , used as a promenade by Third Class passengers . It was where many of Titanic 's passengers and crew made their last stand as the ship sank . The forecastle and Poop Deck were separated from the Bridge Deck by well decks . C Deck , the Shelter Deck , was the highest deck to run uninterrupted from stem to stern . It included both well decks ; the aft one served as part of the Third Class promenade . Crew cabins were housed below the forecastle and Third Class public rooms were housed below the Poop Deck . In between were the majority of First Class cabins and the Second Class library . D Deck , the Saloon Deck , was dominated by three large public rooms -- the First Class Reception Room , the First Class Dining Saloon and the Second Class Dining Saloon . An open space was provided for Third Class passengers . First , Second and Third Class passengers had cabins on this deck , with berths for firemen located in the bow . It was the highest level reached by the ship 's watertight bulkheads ( though only by eight of the fifteen bulkheads ) . E Deck , the Upper Deck , was predominantly used for passenger accommodation for all three classes plus berths for cooks , seamen , stewards and trimmers . Along its length ran a long passageway nicknamed Scotland Road , in reference to a famous street in Liverpool . Scotland Road was used by Third Class passengers and crew members . F Deck , the Middle Deck , was the last complete deck and mainly accommodated Second and Third Class passengers and several departments of the crew . The Third Class dining saloon was located here , as were the swimming pool and Turkish bath . G Deck , the Lower Deck , was the lowest complete deck that carried passengers , and had the lowest portholes , just above the waterline . The squash court was located here along with the traveling post office where letters and parcels were sorted ready for delivery when the ship docked . Food was also stored here . The deck was interrupted at several points by orlop ( partial ) decks over the boiler , engine and turbine rooms . The Orlop Decks and the Tank Top below that were on the lowest level of the ship , below the waterline . The orlop decks were used as cargo spaces , while the Tank Top -- the inner bottom of the ship 's hull -- provided the platform on which the ship 's boilers , engines , turbines and electrical generators were housed . This area of the ship was occupied by the engine and boiler rooms , areas which passengers would have been prohibited from seeing . They were connected with higher levels of the ship by flights of stairs ; twin spiral stairways near the bow provided access up to D Deck . Features Power Rudder with central and port wing propellers for scale note the man at bottom of the photo Titanic was equipped with three main engines -- two reciprocating four - cylinder , triple - expansion steam engines and one centrally placed low - pressure Parsons turbine -- each driving a propeller . The two reciprocating engines had a combined output of 30,000 hp and a further 16,000 hp was contributed by the turbine . The White Star Line had used the same combination of engines on an earlier liner , the SS Laurentic , where it had been a great success . It provided a good combination of performance and speed ; reciprocating engines by themselves were not powerful enough to propel an Olympic - class liner at the desired speeds , while turbines were sufficiently powerful but caused uncomfortable vibrations , a problem that affected the all - turbine Cunard liners Lusitania and Mauretania . By combining reciprocating engines with a turbine , fuel usage could be reduced and motive power increased , while using the same amount of steam . The two reciprocating engines were each 63 feet ( 19 m ) long and weighed 720 tons , with their bedplates contributing a further 195 tons . They were powered by steam produced in 29 boilers , 24 of which were double - ended and five single - ended , which contained a total of 159 furnaces . The boilers were 15 feet 9 inches ( 4.80 m ) in diameter and 20 feet ( 6.1 m ) long , each weighing 91.5 tons and capable of holding 48.5 tons of water . They were heated by burning coal , 6,611 tons of which could be carried in Titanic 's bunkers , with a further 1,092 tons in Hold 3 . The furnaces required over 600 tons of coal a day to be shovelled into them by hand , requiring the services of 176 firemen working around the clock . 100 tons of ash a day had to be disposed of by ejecting it into the sea . The work was relentless , dirty and dangerous , and although firemen were paid relatively generously there was a high suicide rate among those who worked in that capacity . Exhaust steam leaving the reciprocating engines was fed into the turbine , which was situated aft . From there it passed into a surface condenser , to increase the efficiency of the turbine and so that the steam could be condensed back into water and reused . The engines were attached directly to long shafts which drove the propellers . There were three , one for each engine ; the outer ( or wing ) propellers were the largest , each carrying three blades of manganese - bronze alloy with a total diameter of 23.5 feet ( 7.2 m ) . The middle propeller was slightly smaller at 17 feet ( 5.2 m ) in diameter , and could be stopped but not reversed . Titanic 's electrical plant was capable of producing more power than an average city power station of the time . Immediately aft of the turbine engine were four 400 kW steam - driven electric generators , used to provide electrical power to the ship , plus two 30 kW auxiliary generators for emergency use . Their location in the stern of the ship meant they remained operational until the last few minutes before the ship sank . Technology Watertight compartments and funnels The interiors of the Olympic - class ships were subdivided into 16 primary compartments divided by 15 bulkheads which extended well above the waterline . Eleven vertically closing watertight doors could seal off the compartments in the event of an emergency . The ship 's exposed decking was made of pine and teak , while interior ceilings were covered in painted granulated cork to combat condensation . Standing above the decks were four funnels , each painted buff with black tops , ( though only three were functional -- the last one was a dummy , installed for aesthetic purposes and also for kitchen ventilation ) -- and two masts , each 155 feet ( 47 m ) high , which supported derricks for working cargo . Rudder and steering engines Titanic 's rudder was so large -- at 78 feet 8 inches ( 23.98 m ) high and 15 feet 3 inches ( 4.65 m ) long , weighing over 100 tons -- that it required steering engines to move it . Two steam - powered steering engines were installed though only one was used at any one time , with the other one kept in reserve . They were connected to the short tiller through stiff springs , to isolate the steering engines from any shocks in heavy seas or during fast changes of direction . As a last resort , the tiller could be moved by ropes connected to two steam capstans . The capstans were also used to raise and lower the ship 's five anchors ( one port , one starboard , one in the centreline and two kedging anchors ) . Water , ventilation and heating The ship was equipped with her own waterworks , capable of heating and pumping water to all parts of the vessel via a complex network of pipes and valves . The main water supply was taken aboard while Titanic was in port , but in an emergency the ship could also distil fresh water from seawater , though this was not a straightforward process as the distillation plant quickly became clogged by salt deposits . A network of insulated ducts conveyed warm air , driven by electric fans , around the ship , and First Class cabins were fitted with additional electric heaters . Radio communications Marconi company receiving equipment for a 5 kilowatt ocean liner station . Titanic 's radiotelegraph equipment ( then known as wireless telegraphy ) was leased to the White Star Line by the Marconi International Marine Communication Company , which also supplied two of its employees , Jack Phillips and Harold Bride , as operators . The service maintained a 24 - hour schedule , primarily sending and receiving passenger telegrams , but also handling navigation messages including weather reports and ice warnings . The radio room was located on the Boat Deck , in the officers ' quarters . A soundproofed `` Silent Room '' , next to the operating room , housed loud equipment , including the transmitter and a motor - generator used for producing alternating currents . The operators ' living quarters were adjacent to the working office . The ship was equipped with a ' state of the art ' 5 kilowatt rotary spark - gap transmitter , operating under the radio callsign MGY , and communication was conducted in Morse code . This transmitter was one of the first Marconi installations to use a rotary spark gap , which gave Titanic a distinctive musical tone that could be readily distinguished from other signals . The transmitter was one of the most powerful in the world , and guaranteed to broadcast over a radius of 350 miles ( 563 km ) . An elevated T - antenna that spanned the length of the ship was used for transmitting and receiving . The normal operating frequency was 500 kHz ( 600 m wavelength ) , however the equipment could also operate on the `` short '' wavelength of 1000 kHz ( 300 m wavelength ) that was employed by smaller vessels with shorter antennas .

( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Further information : First class facilities of the RMS Titanic and Second and Third - Class Facilities on the RMS Titanic The passenger facilities aboard Titanic aimed to meet the highest standards of luxury . According to Titanic 's general arrangement plans , the ship could accommodate 833 First Class Passengers , 614 in Second Class and 1,006 in Third Class , for a total passenger capacity of 2,453 . In addition , her capacity for crew members exceeded 900 , as most documents of her original configuration have stated that her full carrying capacity for both passengers and crew was approximately 3,547 . Her interior design was a departure from that of other passenger liners , which had typically been decorated in the rather heavy style of a manor house or an English country house . Titanic was laid out in a much lighter style similar to that of contemporary high - class hotels -- the Ritz Hotel was a reference point -- with First Class cabins finished in the Empire style . A variety of other decorative styles , ranging from the Renaissance to Louis XV , were used to decorate cabins and public rooms in First and Second Class areas of the ship . The aim was to convey an impression that the passengers were in a floating hotel rather than a ship ; as one passenger recalled , on entering the ship 's interior a passenger would `` at once lose the feeling that we are on board ship , and seem instead to be entering the hall of some great house on shore '' . Among the more novel features available to first - class passengers was a 7 ft. deep saltwater swimming pool , a gymnasium , a squash court , and a Turkish bath which comprised electric bath , steam room , cool room , massage room , and hot room . First - class common rooms were impressive in scope and lavishly decorated . They included a Lounge in the style of the Palace of Versailles , an enormous Reception Room , a men 's Smoking Room , and a Reading and Writing Room . There was an À la Carte Restaurant in the style of the Ritz Hotel which was run as a concession by the famous Italian restaurateur Gaspare Gatti . A Café Parisien decorated in the style of a French sidewalk café , complete with ivy covered trellises and wicker furniture , was run as an annex to the restaurant . For an extra cost , first - class passengers could enjoy the finest French haute cuisine in the most luxurious of surroundings . There was also a Verandah Café where tea and light refreshments were served , that offered grand views of the ocean . At 114 ft. long X 92 ft. wide , the Dining Saloon on D - Deck was the largest room afloat and could seat almost 600 passengers at a time . Third Class ( commonly referred to as Steerage ) accommodations aboard Titanic were not as luxurious as First or Second Class , but even so were better than on many other ships of the time . They reflected the improved standards which the White Star Line had adopted for trans - Atlantic immigrant and lower - class travel . On most other North Atlantic passenger ships at the time , Third Class accommodations consisted of little more than open dormitories in the forward end of the vessels , in which hundreds of people were confined , often without adequate food or toilet facilities . The White Star Line had long since broken that mould . As seen aboard Titanic , all White Star Line passenger ships divided their Third Class accommodations into two sections , always at opposite ends of the vessel from one another . The established arrangement was that single men were quartered in the forward areas , while single women , married couples and families were quartered aft . In addition , while other ships provided only open berth sleeping arrangements , White Star Line vessels provided their Third Class passengers with private , small but comfortable cabins capable of accommodating two , four , six , eight and 10 passengers . Third Class accommodations also included their own dining rooms , as well as public gathering areas including adequate open deck space , which aboard Titanic comprised the Poop Deck at the stern , the forward and aft well decks , and a large open space on D Deck which could be used as a social hall . This was supplemented by the addition of a smoking room for men and a General Room on C Deck which women could use for reading and writing . Although they were not as glamorous in design as spaces seen in upper class accommodations , they were still far above average for the period . Leisure facilities were provided for all three classes to pass the time . As well as making use of the indoor amenities such as the library , smoking rooms , and gymnasium , it was also customary for passengers to socialise on the open deck , promenading or relaxing in hired deck chairs or wooden benches . A passenger list was published before the sailing to inform the public which members of the great and good were on board , and it was not uncommon for ambitious mothers to use the list to identify rich bachelors to whom they could introduce their marriageable daughters during the voyage . One of Titanic 's most distinctive features was her First Class staircase , known as the Grand Staircase or Grand Stairway . Built of solid English oak with a sweeping curve , the staircase descended through seven decks of the ship , between the Boat Deck to E deck , before terminating in a simplified single flight on F Deck . It was capped with a dome of wrought iron and glass that admitted natural light to the stairwell . Each landing off the staircase gave access to ornate entrance halls paneled in the William & Mary style and lit by ormolu and crystal light fixtures . At the uppermost landing was a large carved wooden panel containing a clock , with figures of `` Honour and Glory Crowning Time '' flanking the clock face . The Grand Staircase was destroyed during the sinking and is now just a void in the ship which modern explorers have used to access the lower decks . During the filming of James Cameron 's Titanic in 1997 , his replica of the Grand Staircase was ripped from its foundations by the force of the inrushing water on the set . It has been suggested that during the real event , the entire Grand Staircase was ejected upwards through the dome . The gymnasium on the Boat Deck , which was equipped with the latest exercise machines The famous Grand Staircase , which connected Boat Deck and E Deck Swimming Pool on the Titanic Mail and cargo La Circassienne au Bain ; the most highly valued item of cargo lost on the Titanic . Although Titanic was primarily a passenger liner , she also carried a substantial amount of cargo . Her designation as a Royal Mail Ship ( RMS ) indicated that she carried mail under contract with the Royal Mail ( and also for the United States Post Office Department ) . For the storage of letters , parcels and specie ( bullion , coins and other valuables ) , 26,800 cubic feet ( 760 m ) of space in her holds was allocated . The Sea Post Office on G Deck was manned by five postal clerks ; three Americans and two Britons , who worked 13 hours a day , seven days a week sorting up to 60,000 items daily . The ship 's passengers brought with them a huge amount of baggage ; another 19,455 cubic feet ( 550.9 m ) was taken up by first - and second - class baggage . In addition , there was a considerable quantity of regular cargo , ranging from furniture to foodstuffs and even motor cars . Despite later myths , the cargo on Titanic 's maiden voyage was fairly mundane ; there was no gold , exotic minerals or diamonds , and one of the more famous items lost in the shipwreck , a jewelled copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam , was valued at only £ 405 ( £ 36,200 today ) . According to the claims for compensation filed with Commissioner Gilchrist , following the conclusion of the Senate Inquiry , the single most highly valued item of luggage or cargo was a large neoclassical oil painting entitled La Circassienne au Bain by French artist Merry - Joseph Blondel . The painting 's owner , first class passenger Mauritz Håkan Björnström - Steffansson , filed a claim for $100,000 ( $2.4 million equivalent in 2014 ) in compensation for the loss of the artwork . Titanic was equipped with eight electric cranes , four electric winches and three steam winches to lift cargo and baggage in and out of the hold . It is estimated that the ship used some 415 tons of coal whilst in Southampton , simply generating steam to operate the cargo winches and provide heat and light . Lifeboats Main article : Lifeboats of the RMS Titanic A collapsible lifeboat with canvas sides Titanic carried a total of 20 lifeboats : 14 standard wooden Harland and Wolff lifeboats with a capacity of 65 people each and four Englehardt `` collapsible '' ( wooden bottom , collapsible canvas sides ) lifeboats ( identified as A to D ) with a capacity of 47 people each . In addition , she had two emergency cutters with a capacity of 40 people each . Olympic herself did not even carry the four collapsibles A -- D during the 1911 -- 12 season . All of the lifeboats were stowed securely on the boat deck and , except for collapsible lifeboats A and B , connected to davits by ropes . Those on the starboard side were odd - numbered 1 -- 15 from bow to stern , while those on the port side were even - numbered 2 -- 16 from bow to stern . Both cutters were kept swung out , hanging from the davits , ready for immediate use , while collapsible lifeboats C and D were stowed on the boat deck ( connected to davits ) immediately inboard of boats 1 and 2 respectively . A and B were stored on the roof of the officers ' quarters , on either side of number 1 funnel . There were no davits to lower them and their weight would make them difficult to launch by hand . Each boat carried ( among other things ) food , water , blankets , and a spare life belt . Lifeline ropes on the boats ' sides enabled them to save additional people from the water if necessary . Titanic had 16 sets of davits , each able to handle four lifeboats . This gave Titanic the ability to carry up to 64 wooden lifeboats which would have been enough for 4,000 people -- considerably more than her actual capacity . However , the White Star Line decided that only 16 wooden lifeboats and four collapsibles would be carried , which could accommodate 1,178 people , only one - third of Titanic 's total capacity . At the time , the Board of Trade 's regulations required British vessels over 10,000 tons to only carry 16 lifeboats with a capacity of 990 occupants . Therefore , the White Star Line actually provided more lifeboat accommodation than was legally required . At the time , lifeboats were intended to ferry survivors from a sinking ship to a rescuing ship -- not keep afloat the whole population or power them to shore . Had the SS Californian responded to Titanic 's distress calls , the lifeboats may have been adequate to ferry the passengers to safety as planned . Building and preparing the ship Construction , launch and fitting - out Play media Titanic Disaster -- Genuine Footage ( 1911 -- 1912 ) The sheer size of Titanic and her sister ships posed a major engineering challenge for Harland and Wolff ; no shipbuilder had ever before attempted to construct vessels this size . The ships were constructed on Queen 's Island , now known as the Titanic Quarter , in Belfast Harbour . Harland and Wolff had to demolish three existing slipways and build two new ones , the largest ever constructed up to that time , to accommodate both ships . Their construction was facilitated by an enormous gantry built by Sir William Arrol & Co. , a Scottish firm responsible for the building of the Forth Bridge and London 's Tower Bridge . The Arrol Gantry stood 228 feet ( 69 m ) high , was 270 feet ( 82 m ) wide and 840 feet ( 260 m ) long , and weighed more than 6,000 tons . It accommodated a number of mobile cranes . A separate floating crane , capable of lifting 200 tons , was brought in from Germany . The construction of Olympic and Titanic took place virtually in parallel , with Olympic 's keel laid down first on 16 December 1908 and Titanic 's on 31 March 1909 . Both ships took about 26 months to build and followed much the same construction process . They were designed essentially as an enormous floating box girder , with the keel acting as a backbone and the frames of the hull forming the ribs . At the base of the ships , a double bottom 5 feet 3 inches ( 1.60 m ) deep supported 300 frames , each between 24 inches ( 61 cm ) and 36 inches ( 91 cm ) apart and measuring up to about 66 feet ( 20 m ) long . They terminated at the bridge deck ( B Deck ) and were covered with steel plates which formed the outer skin of the ships . The 2,000 hull plates were single pieces of rolled steel plate , mostly up to 6 feet ( 1.8 m ) wide and 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) long and weighing between 2.5 and 3 tons . Their thickness varied from 1 inch ( 2.5 cm ) to 1.5 inches ( 3.8 cm ) . The plates were laid in a clinkered ( overlapping ) fashion from the keel to the bilge . Above that point they were laid in the `` in and out '' fashion , where strake plating was applied in bands ( the `` in strakes '' ) with the gaps covered by the `` out strakes '' , overlapping on the edges . Commercial oxy - fuel and electric arc welding methods , ubiquitous in fabrication today , were still in their infancy ; like most other iron and steel structures of the era , the hull was held together with over three million iron and steel rivets , which by themselves weighed over 1,200 tons . They were fitted using hydraulic machines or were hammered in by hand . In the 1990s some material scientists concluded that the steel plate used for the ship was subject to being especially brittle when cold , and that this brittleness exacerbated the impact damage and hastened the sinking . It is believed that , by the standards of the time , the steel plate 's quality was good , not faulty , but that it was inferior to what would be used for shipbuilding purposes in later decades , owing to advances in the metallurgy of steelmaking . As for the rivets , considerable emphasis has also been placed on their quality and strength . One of the last items to be fitted on Titanic before the ship 's launch was her two side anchors and one centre anchor . The anchors themselves were a challenge to make with the centre anchor being the largest ever forged by hand and weighing nearly 16 tons . Twenty Clydesdale draught horses were needed to haul the centre anchor by wagon from the Noah Hingley & Sons Ltd forge shop in Netherton , near Dudley , United Kingdom to the Dudley railway station two miles away . From there it was shipped by rail to Fleetwood in Lancashire before being loaded aboard a ship and sent to Belfast . The work of constructing the ships was difficult and dangerous . For the 15,000 men who worked at Harland and Wolff at the time , safety precautions were rudimentary at best ; a lot of the work was dangerous and was carried out without any safety equipment like hard hats or hand guards on machinery . As a result , deaths and injuries were to be expected . During Titanic 's construction , 246 injuries were recorded , 28 of them `` severe '' , such as arms severed by machines or legs crushed under falling pieces of steel . Six people died on the ship herself while she was being constructed and fitted out , and another two died in the shipyard workshops and sheds . Just before the launch a worker was killed when a piece of wood fell on him . Titanic was launched at 12 : 15 p.m. on 31 May 1911 in the presence of Lord Pirrie , J. Pierpoint Morgan , J. Bruce Ismay and 100,000 onlookers. 22 tons of soap and tallow were spread on the slipway to lubricate the ship 's passage into the River Lagan . In keeping with the White Star Line 's traditional policy , the ship was not formally named or christened with champagne . The ship was towed to a fitting - out berth where , over the course of the next year , her engines , funnels and superstructure were installed and her interior was fitted out . Although Titanic was virtually identical to the class 's lead ship Olympic , a few changes were made to distinguish both ships . The most noticeable of these was that Titanic ( and the third vessel in class , Britannic ) had a steel screen with sliding windows installed along the forward half of the A Deck promenade . This was installed as a last minute change at the personal request of Bruce Ismay , and was intended to provide additional shelter to first class passengers . These changes made Titanic slightly heavier than her sister , and thus she could claim to be the largest ship afloat . The work took longer than expected due to design changes requested by Ismay and a temporary pause in work occasioned by the need to repair Olympic , which had been in a collision in September 1911 . Had Titanic been finished earlier , she might well have missed her collision with an iceberg . Construction in gantry , 1909 -- 11 Launch , 1911 ( unfinished superstructure ) Fitting - out , 1911 -- 12 Sea trials RMS Titanic leaving Belfast for her sea trials on 2 April 1912 Titanic 's sea trials began at 6 a.m. on Tuesday , 2 April 1912 , just two days after her fitting out was finished and eight days before she was due to leave Southampton on her maiden voyage . The trials were delayed for a day due to bad weather , but by Monday morning it was clear and fair . Aboard were 78 stokers , greasers and firemen , and 41 members of crew . No domestic staff appear to have been aboard . Representatives of various companies travelled on Titanic 's sea trials , Thomas Andrews and Edward Wilding of Harland and Wolff and Harold A. Sanderson of IMM . Bruce Ismay and Lord Pirrie were too ill to attend . Jack Phillips and Harold Bride served as radio operators , and performed fine - tuning of the Marconi equipment . Francis Carruthers , a surveyor from the Board of Trade , was also present to see that everything worked , and that the ship was fit to carry passengers . The sea trials consisted of a number of tests of her handling characteristics , carried out first in Belfast Lough and then in the open waters of the Irish Sea . Over the course of about 12 hours , Titanic was driven at different speeds , the turning ability was tested and a `` crash stop '' was performed in which the engines were reversed full ahead to full astern , bringing her to a stop in 850 yd ( 777 m ) or 3 minutes and 15 seconds . The ship covered a distance of about 80 nautical miles ( 92 mi ; 150 km ) , averaging 18 knots ( 21 mph ; 33 km / h ) and reaching a maximum speed of just under 21 knots ( 24 mph ; 39 km / h ) . On returning to Belfast at about 7 p.m. , the surveyor signed an `` Agreement and Account of Voyages and Crew '' , valid for 12 months , which declared the ship seaworthy . An hour later , Titanic departed Belfast to head to Southampton , a voyage of about 570 nautical miles ( 660 mi ; 1,060 km ) . After a journey lasting about 28 hours and arrived about midnight on 4 April and was towed to the port 's Berth 44 , ready for the arrival of her passengers and the remainder of her crew . Maiden voyage Both Olympic and Titanic registered Liverpool as their home port . The offices of the White Star Line as well as Cunard were in Liverpool , and up until the introduction of the Olympic , most British ocean liners for both Cunard and White Star , such as Lusitania and Mauretania , sailed out of Liverpool followed by a port of call in Queenstown , Ireland . Since the company 's founding in 1871 , a vast majority of their operations had taken place out of Liverpool . However , in 1907 White Star established another service out of the port of Southampton on England 's south coast , which became known as White Star 's `` Express Service '' . Southampton had many advantages over Liverpool , the first being its proximity to London . In addition , Southampton , being on the south coast , allowed ships to easily cross the English Channel and make a port of call on the northern coast of France , usually at Cherbourg . This allowed British ships to pick up clientele from continental Europe before recrossing the channel and picking up passengers at Queenstown . The Southampton - Cherbourg - New York run would become so popular that most British ocean liners began using the port after World War I. Out of respect for Liverpool , ships continued to be registered there until the early 1960s . Queen Elizabeth 2 was one of the first ships registered in Southampton when introduced into service by Cunard in 1969 . Titanic 's maiden voyage was intended to be the first of many trans - Atlantic crossings between Southampton and New York via Cherbourg and Queenstown on westbound runs , returning via Plymouth in England while eastbound . Indeed , her entire schedule of voyages through to December 1912 still exists . When the route was established , four ships were assigned to the service . In addition to Teutonic and Majestic , the RMS Oceanic and the brand new RMS Adriatic sailed the route . When the Olympic entered service in June 1911 , she replaced Teutonic , which after completing her last run on the service in late April was transferred to the Dominion Line 's Canadian service . The following August , Adriatic was transferred to White Star 's main Liverpool - New York service , and in November , Majestic was withdrawn from service impending the arrival of Titanic in the coming months , and was mothballed as a reserve ship . White Star 's initial plans for Olympic and Titanic on the Southampton run followed the same routine as their predecessors had done before them . Each would sail once every three weeks from Southampton and New York , usually leaving at noon each Wednesday from Southampton and each Saturday from New York , thus enabling the White Star Line to offer weekly sailings in each direction . Special trains were scheduled from London and Paris to convey passengers to Southampton and Cherbourg respectively . The deep - water dock at Southampton , then known as the `` White Star Dock '' , had been specially constructed to accommodate the new Olympic - class liners , and had opened in 1911 . Edward Smith , captain of Titanic , in 1911 Titanic at Southampton docks , prior to departure Display ad for Titanic 's first but never made sailing from New York on 20 April 1912 Crew Main article : Crew of the RMS Titanic Titanic had around 885 crew members on board for her maiden voyage . Like other vessels of her time , she did not have a permanent crew , and the vast majority of crew members were casual workers who only came aboard the ship a few hours before she sailed from Southampton . The process of signing up recruits had begun on 23 March and some had been sent to Belfast , where they served as a skeleton crew during Titanic 's sea trials and passage to England at the start of April . Captain Edward John Smith , the most senior of the White Star Line 's captains , was transferred from Olympic to take command of Titanic . Henry Tingle Wilde also came across from Olympic to take the post of Chief Mate . Titanic 's previously designated Chief Mate and First Officer , William McMaster Murdoch and Charles Lightoller , were bumped down to the ranks of First and Second Officer respectively . The original Second Officer , David Blair , was dropped altogether . The Third Officer was Herbert Pitman MBE , the only deck officer who was not a member of the Royal Naval Reserve . Pitman was the second to last surviving officer . Titanic 's crew were divided into three principal departments : Deck , with 66 crew ; Engine , with 325 ; and Victualling ( pronounced vi - tal - ling ) , with 494 . The vast majority of the crew were thus not seamen , but were either engineers , firemen , or stokers , responsible for looking after the engines , or stewards and galley staff , responsible for the passengers . Of these , over 97 % were male ; just 23 of the crew were female , mainly stewardesses . The rest represented a great variety of professions -- bakers , chefs , butchers , fishmongers , dishwashers , stewards , gymnasium instructors , laundrymen , waiters , bed - makers , cleaners , and even a printer , who produced a daily newspaper for passengers called the Atlantic Daily Bulletin with the latest news received by the ship 's wireless operators . Most of the crew signed on in Southampton on 6 April ; in all , 699 of the crew came from there , and 40 % were natives of the town . A few specialist staff were self - employed or were subcontractors . These included the five postal clerks , who worked for the Royal Mail and the United States Post Office Department , the staff of the First Class A La Carte Restaurant and the Café Parisien , the radio operators ( who were employed by Marconi ) and the eight musicians , who were employed by an agency and travelled as second - class passengers . Crew pay varied greatly , from Captain Smith 's £ 105 a month ( equivalent to £ 9,400 today ) to the £ 3 10 s ( £ 310 today ) that stewardesses earned . The lower - paid victualling staff could , however , supplement their wages substantially through tips from passengers . Passengers Main article : Passengers of the RMS Titanic John Jacob Astor IV in 1909 . He was the wealthiest person aboard Titanic . Titanic 's passengers numbered approximately 1,317 people : 324 in First Class , 284 in Second Class , and 709 in Third Class . Of these , 869 ( 66 % ) were male and 447 ( 34 % ) female . There were 107 children aboard , the largest number of which were in Third Class . The ship was considerably under capacity on her maiden voyage , as she could accommodate 2,453 passengers -- 833 First Class , 614 Second Class , and 1,006 Third Class . Usually , a high prestige vessel like Titanic could expect to be fully booked on its maiden voyage . However , a national coal strike in the UK had caused considerable disruption to shipping schedules in the spring of 1912 , causing many crossings to be cancelled . Many would - be passengers chose to postpone their travel plans until the strike was over . The strike had finished a few days before Titanic sailed ; however , that was too late to have much of an effect . Titanic was able to sail on the scheduled date only because coal was transferred from other vessels which were tied up at Southampton , such as SS City of New York and RMS Oceanic , as well as coal Olympic had brought back from a previous voyage to New York , which had been stored at the White Star Dock . Some of the most prominent people of the day booked a passage aboard Titanic , travelling in First Class . Among them were the American millionaire John Jacob Astor IV and his wife Madeleine Force Astor , industrialist Benjamin Guggenheim , Macy 's owner Isidor Straus and his wife Ida , Denver millionairess Margaret `` Molly '' Brown , Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon and his wife , couturière Lucy ( Lady Duff - Gordon ) , cricketer and businessman John Borland Thayer with his wife Marian and son Jack , the Countess of Rothes , author and socialite Helen Churchill Candee , journalist and social reformer William Thomas Stead , author Jacques Futrelle with his wife May , and silent film actress Dorothy Gibson , among others . Titanic 's owner J.P. Morgan was scheduled to travel on the maiden voyage but cancelled at the last minute . Also aboard the ship were the White Star Line 's managing director J. Bruce Ismay and Titanic 's designer Thomas Andrews , who was on board to observe any problems and assess the general performance of the new ship . The exact number of people aboard is not known , as not all of those who had booked tickets made it to the ship ; about 50 people cancelled for various reasons , and not all of those who boarded stayed aboard for the entire journey . Fares varied depending on class and season . Third Class fares from London , Southampton , or Queenstown cost £ 7 5s ( equivalent to £ 600 today ) while the cheapest First Class fares cost £ 23 ( £ 2,100 today ) . The most expensive First Class suites were to have cost up to £ 870 in high season ( £ 78,000 today ) . Collecting passengers On Wednesday 10 April 1912 Titanic 's maiden voyage began . Following the embarkation of the crew the passengers began arriving from 9 : 30 a.m. , when the London and South Western Railway 's boat train from London Waterloo station reached Southampton Terminus railway station on the quayside , alongside Titanic 's berth . In all , 923 passengers boarded Titanic at Southampton , 179 First Class , 247 Second Class and 494 Third Class . The large number of Third Class passengers meant they were the first to board , with First and Second Class passengers following up to an hour before departure . Stewards showed them to their cabins , and First Class passengers were personally greeted by Captain Smith on boarding . Third Class passengers were inspected for ailments and physical impairments that might lead to their being refused entry to the United States -- a prospect the White Star Line wished to avoid , as it would have to carry anyone who failed the examination back across the Atlantic . 922 passengers were recorded as having embarked Titanic at Southampton . Additional passengers were to be picked up at Cherbourg and Queenstown . The maiden voyage began on time , at noon . An accident was narrowly averted only a few minutes later as Titanic passed the moored liners SS City of New York of the American Line and what would have been her running mate on the service from Southampton , White Star 's Oceanic . Her huge displacement caused both of the smaller ships to be lifted by a bulge of water and then drop into a trough . New York 's mooring cables could not take the sudden strain and snapped , swinging her around stern - first towards Titanic . A nearby tugboat , Vulcan , came to the rescue by taking New York under tow , and Captain Smith ordered Titanic 's engines to be put `` full astern '' . The two ships avoided a collision by a matter of about 4 feet ( 1.2 m ) . The incident delayed Titanic 's departure for about an hour , while the drifting New York was brought under control . After making it safely through the complex tides and channels of Southampton Water and the Solent , Titanic headed out into the English Channel . She headed for the French port of Cherbourg , a journey of 77 nautical miles ( 89 mi ; 143 km ) . The weather was windy , very fine but cold and overcast . Because Cherbourg lacked docking facilities for a ship the size of Titanic , tenders had to be used to transfer passengers from shore to ship . The White Star Line operated two at Cherbourg , the SS Traffic and the SS Nomadic . Both had been designed specifically as tenders for the Olympic - class liners and were launched shortly after Titanic . ( Nomadic is today the only White Star Line ship still afloat . ) Four hours after Titanic left Southampton , she arrived at Cherbourg and was met by the tenders. 274 additional passengers were taken aboard , 142 First Class , 30 Second Class , and 102 Third Class . Twenty - four passengers who had booked passage only cross-channel from Southampton left aboard the tenders to be conveyed to shore . The process was completed within only 90 minutes and at 8 p.m. Titanic weighed anchor and left for Queenstown with the weather continuing cold and windy . At 11 : 30 a.m. on Thursday 11 April , Titanic arrived at Cork Harbour on the south coast of Ireland . It was a partly cloudy but relatively warm day , with a brisk wind . Again , the dock facilities were not suitable for a ship of Titanic 's size , and tenders were used to bring passengers aboard . In all , 123 passengers boarded Titanic at Queenstown , 3 First Class , 7 Second Class and 113 Third Class . In addition to the 24 cross-channel passengers who had disembarked at Cherbourg , another seven passengers had booked an overnight passage from Southampton to Queenstown . Among the seven was Father Francis Browne , a Jesuit trainee , who was a keen photographer and took many photographs aboard Titanic , including the last - ever known photograph of the ship . A decidedly unofficial departure was that of a crew member , stoker John Coffey , a Queenstown native who sneaked off the ship by hiding under mail bags being transported to shore . Titanic weighed anchor for the last time at 1 : 30 p.m. and departed on her westward journey across the Atlantic . Titanic ( right ) after the near - collision with City of New York ( left , together with Oceanic at the far left ) Titanic in Cork harbour , 11 April 1912 The route of Titanic 's maiden voyage , with the coordinates of its sinking Atlantic crossing Titanic was planned to arrive at New York Pier 54 on the morning of 17 April . After leaving Queenstown Titanic followed the Irish coast as far as Fastnet Rock , a distance of some 55 nautical miles ( 63 mi ; 102 km ) . From there she travelled 1,620 nautical miles ( 1,860 mi ; 3,000 km ) along a Great Circle route across the North Atlantic to reach a spot in the ocean known as `` the corner '' south - east of Newfoundland , where westbound steamers carried out a change of course . Titanic sailed only a few hours past the corner on a rhumb line leg of 1,023 nautical miles ( 1,177 mi ; 1,895 km ) to Nantucket Shoals Light when she made her fatal contact with an iceberg . The final leg of the journey would have been 193 nautical miles ( 222 mi ; 357 km ) to Ambrose Light and finally to New York Harbor . From 11 April to local apparent noon the next day , Titanic covered 484 nautical miles ( 557 mi ; 896 km ) ; the following day , 519 nautical miles ( 597 mi ; 961 km ) ; and by noon on the final day of her voyage , 546 nautical miles ( 628 mi ; 1,011 km ) . From then until the time of her sinking she travelled another 258 nautical miles ( 297 mi ; 478 km ) , averaging about 21 knots ( 24 mph ; 39 km / h ) . The weather cleared as she left Ireland under cloudy skies with a headwind . Temperatures remained fairly mild on Saturday 13 April , but the following day Titanic crossed a cold weather front with strong winds and waves of up to 8 feet ( 2.4 m ) . These died down as the day progressed until , by the evening of Sunday 14 April , it became clear , calm and very cold . The first three days of the voyage from Queenstown had passed without apparent incident . A fire had begun in one of Titanic 's coal bunkers approximately 10 days prior to the ship 's departure , and continued to burn for several days into its voyage , but passengers were unaware of this situation . Fires occurred frequently on board steamships of that day due to spontaneous combustion of the coal . The fires had to be extinguished with fire hoses , by moving the coal on top to another bunker and by removing the burning coal and feeding it into the furnace . Fortunately , the fire was over on 14 April . Titanic received a series of warnings from other ships of drifting ice in the area of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland . One of the ships to warn Titanic was the Atlantic Line 's Mesaba . Nevertheless , the ship continued to steam at full speed , which was standard practice at the time . Although the ship was not trying to set a speed record , timekeeping was a priority , and under prevailing maritime practices , ships were often operated at close to full speed , with ice warnings seen as advisories and reliance placed upon lookouts and the watch on the bridge . It was generally believed that ice posed little danger to large vessels . Close calls with ice were not uncommon , and even head - on collisions had not been disastrous . In 1907 SS Kronprinz Wilhelm , a German liner , had rammed an iceberg but still had been able to complete her voyage , and Captain Smith himself had declared in 1907 that he `` could not imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder . Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that . '' Sinking Main article : Sinking of the RMS Titanic At 11 : 40 p.m. ( ship 's time ) on 14 April , lookout Frederick Fleet spotted an iceberg immediately ahead of Titanic and alerted the bridge . First Officer William Murdoch ordered the ship to be steered around the obstacle and the engines to be stopped , but it was too late ; the starboard side of Titanic struck the iceberg , creating a series of holes below the waterline . The hull was not punctured by the iceberg , but rather dented such that the hull 's seams buckled and separated , allowing water to seep in . Five of the ship 's watertight compartments were breached . It soon became clear that the ship was doomed , as she could not survive more than four compartments being flooded . Titanic began sinking bow - first , with water spilling from compartment to compartment as her angle in the water became steeper . Those aboard Titanic were ill - prepared for such an emergency . In accordance with accepted practices of the time , where ships were seen as largely unsinkable and lifeboats were intended to transfer passengers to nearby rescue vessels , Titanic only had enough lifeboats to carry about half of those on board ; if the ship had carried her full complement of about 3,339 passengers and crew , only about a third could have been accommodated in the lifeboats . The crew had not been trained adequately in carrying out an evacuation . The officers did not know how many they could safely put aboard the lifeboats and launched many of them barely half - full . Third - class passengers were largely left to fend for themselves , causing many of them to become trapped below decks as the ship filled with water . The `` women and children first '' protocol was generally followed when loading the lifeboats , and most of the male passengers and crew were left aboard . At 2 : 20 a.m. , two hours and 40 minutes after Titanic struck the iceberg , her rate of sinking suddenly increased as her forward deck dipped underwater , and the sea poured in through open hatches and grates . As her unsupported stern rose out of the water , exposing the propellers , the ship began to break in two between the third and fourth funnels , due to the immense forces on the keel . With the bow underwater , and air trapped in the stern , the stern remained afloat and buoyant for a few minutes longer , rising to a nearly vertical angle with hundreds of people still clinging to it , before sinking . For many years it was generally believed the ship sank in one piece ; however , when the wreck was located many years later , it was discovered that the ship had fully broken in two . All remaining passengers and crew were immersed into lethally cold water with a temperature of 28 ° F ( − 2 ° C ) . Almost all of those in the water died of cardiac arrest or other bodily reactions to freezing water , within 15 -- 30 minutes . Only 13 of them were helped into the lifeboats , though these had room for almost 500 more people . Distress signals were sent by wireless , rockets , and lamp , but none of the ships that responded was near enough to reach Titanic before she sank . A radio operator on board the Birma , for instance , estimated that it would be 6 a.m. before the liner could arrive at the scene . Meanwhile , the SS Californian , which was the last to have been in contact before the collision , saw Titanic 's flares but failed to assist . Around 4 a.m. , RMS Carpathia arrived on the scene in response to Titanic 's earlier distress calls . About 710 people survived the disaster and were conveyed by Carpathia to New York , Titanic 's original destination , while at least 1,500 people lost their lives . Carpathia 's captain described the place as an ice field that had included 20 large bergs measuring up to 200 feet ( 61 m ) high and numerous smaller bergs , as well as ice floes and debris from Titanic ; passengers described being in the middle of a vast white plain of ice , studded with icebergs . This area is now known as Iceberg Alley . The sinking , according to J. Thayer , sketched onboard Carpathia , based on his description The iceberg thought to have been hit by Titanic , photographed on the morning of 15 April 1912 . `` Untergang der Titanic '' , as conceived by Willy Stöwer , 1912 Aftermath of sinking Arrival of Carpathia in New York London newsboy Ned Parfett with news of the disaster . RMS Carpathia took three days to reach New York after leaving the scene of the disaster . Her journey was slowed by pack ice , fog , thunderstorms and rough seas . She was , however , able to pass news to the outside world by wireless about what had happened . The initial reports were confused , leading the American press to report erroneously on 15 April that Titanic was being towed to port by the SS Virginian . Later that day , confirmation came through that Titanic had been lost and that most of her passengers and crew had died . The news attracted crowds of people to the White Star Line 's offices in London , New York , Montreal , Southampton , Liverpool and Belfast . It hit hardest in Southampton , whose people suffered the greatest losses from the sinking . Four out of every five crew members came from this town . Carpathia docked at 9 : 30 p.m. on 18 April at New York 's Pier 54 and was greeted by some 40,000 people waiting at the quayside in heavy rain . Immediate relief in the form of clothing and transportation to shelters was provided by the Women 's Relief Committee , the Travelers Aid Society of New York , and the Council of Jewish Women , among other organisations . Many of Titanic 's surviving passengers did not linger in New York but headed onwards immediately to relatives ' homes . Some of the wealthier survivors chartered private trains to take them home , and the Pennsylvania Railroad laid on a special train free of charge to take survivors to Philadelphia . Titanic 's 214 surviving crew members were taken to the Red Star Line 's steamer SS Lapland , where they were accommodated in passenger cabins . Carpathia was hurriedly restocked with food and provisions before resuming her journey to Fiume , Austria - Hungary . Her crew were given a bonus of a month 's wages by Cunard as a reward for their actions , and some of Titanic 's passengers joined together to give them an additional bonus of nearly £ 900 ( £ 80,000 today ) , divided among the crew members . The ship 's arrival in New York led to a frenzy of press interest , with newspapers competing to be the first to report the survivors ' stories . Some reporters bribed their way aboard the pilot boat New York , which guided Carpathia into harbour , and one even managed to get onto Carpathia before she docked . Crowds gathered outside newspaper offices to see the latest reports being posted in the windows or on billboards . It took another four days for a complete list of casualties to be compiled and released , adding to the agony of relatives waiting for news of those who had been aboard Titanic . Arrival of Titanic 's survivors at New York ( artist concept ) Cartoon demanding better safety from shipping companies , 1912 Carpathia 's captain Arthur Rostron awarded by Margaret Brown , 1912 Insurance and Aid for survivors In January 1912 , the hulls and equipment of Titanic and Olympic had been insured through Lloyd 's of London . The total coverage was £ 1,000,000 ( £ 89,000,000 today ) per ship . The policy was to be `` free from all average '' under £ 150,000 , meaning that the insurers would only pay for damage in excess of that sum . The premium , negotiated by brokers Willis Faber & Company ( now Willis Group ) , was 15 s ( 75 p ) per £ 100 , or £ 7,500 ( £ 670,000 today ) for the term of one year . Lloyd 's paid the White Star Line the full sum owed to them within 30 days . Many charities were set up to help the victims and their families , many of whom lost their sole breadwinner , or , in the case of many Third Class survivors , everything they owned . On 29 April opera stars Enrico Caruso and Mary Garden and members of the Metropolitan Opera raised $12,000 ( $300,000 in 2014 ) in benefits for victims of the disaster by giving special concerts in which versions of `` Autumn '' and `` Nearer My God To Thee '' were part of the programme . In Britain , relief funds were organised for the families of Titanic 's lost crew members , raising nearly £ 450,000 ( £ 40,000,000 today ) . One such fund was still in operation as late as the 1960s . Investigations into the disaster Main articles : United States Senate inquiry into the sinking of the RMS Titanic and British Wreck Commissioner 's inquiry into the sinking of the RMS Titanic Even before the survivors arrived in New York , investigations were being planned to discover what had happened , and what could be done to prevent a recurrence . Inquiries were held in both the United States and United Kingdom , the former more robustly critical of traditions and practices , and scathing of the failures involved , and the latter broadly more technical and expert - oriented . The U.S. Senate 's inquiry into the disaster was initiated on 19 April , a day after Carpathia arrived in New York . The chairman , Senator William Alden Smith , wanted to gather accounts from passengers and crew while the events were still fresh in their minds . Smith also needed to subpoena all surviving British passengers and crew while they were still on American soil , which prevented them from returning to the UK before the American inquiry was completed on 25 May . The British press condemned Smith as an opportunist , insensitively forcing an inquiry as a means of gaining political prestige and seizing `` his moment to stand on the world stage '' . Smith , however , already had a reputation as a campaigner for safety on U.S. railroads , and wanted to investigate any possible malpractices by railroad tycoon J.P. Morgan , Titanic 's ultimate owner . The British Board of Trade 's inquiry into the disaster was headed by Lord Mersey , and took place between 2 May and 3 July . Being run by the Board of Trade , who had previously approved the ship , it was seen by some as having little interest in its own or White Star 's conduct being found negligent . Each inquiry took testimony from both passengers and crew of Titanic , crew members of Leyland Line 's Californian , Captain Arthur Rostron of Carpathia and other experts . The British inquiry also took far greater expert testimony , making it the longest and most detailed court of inquiry in British history up to that time . The two inquiries reached broadly similar conclusions : the regulations on the number of lifeboats that ships had to carry were out of date and inadequate , Captain Smith had failed to take proper heed of ice warnings , the lifeboats had not been properly filled or crewed , and the collision was the direct result of steaming into a dangerous area at too high a speed . Neither inquiry 's findings listed negligence by IMM or the White Star Line as a factor . The American inquiry concluded that since those involved had followed standard practice the disaster was an act of God . The British inquiry concluded that Smith had followed long - standing practice that had not previously been shown to be unsafe , noting that British ships alone had carried 3.5 million passengers over the previous decade with the loss of just 10 lives , and concluded that Smith had done `` only that which other skilled men would have done in the same position '' . Lord Mersey did however find fault with the `` extremely high speed ( twenty - two knots ) which was maintained '' following numerous ice warnings , noting that without hindsight , `` what was a mistake in the case of the Titanic would without doubt be negligence in any similar case in the future '' . The recommendations included strong suggestions for major changes in maritime regulations to implement new safety measures , such as ensuring that more lifeboats were provided , that lifeboat drills were properly carried out and that wireless equipment on passenger ships was manned around the clock . An International Ice Patrol was set up to monitor the presence of icebergs in the North Atlantic , and maritime safety regulations were harmonised internationally through the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea ; both measures are still in force today . On 18 June 1912 , Guglielmo Marconi gave evidence to the Court of Inquiry regarding the telegraphy . Its final report recommended that all liners carry the system and that sufficient operators maintain a constant service . Role of the SS Californian The SS Californian , which had tried to warn Titanic of the danger from pack - ice One of the most controversial issues examined by the inquiries was the role played by SS Californian , which had been only a few miles from Titanic but had not picked up her distress calls or responded to her signal rockets . Californian had warned Titanic by radio of the pack ice that was the reason Californian had stopped for the night , but was rebuked by Titanic 's senior wireless operator , Jack Phillips . Testimony before the British inquiry revealed that at 10 : 10 p.m. , Californian observed the lights of a ship to the south ; it was later agreed between Captain Stanley Lord and Third Officer C.V. Groves ( who had relieved Lord of duty at 11 : 10 p.m. ) that this was a passenger liner . At 11 : 50 p.m. , the officer had watched that ship 's lights flash out , as if she had shut down or turned sharply , and that the port light was now visible . Morse light signals to the ship , upon Lord 's order , were made between 11 : 30 p.m. and 1 : 00 a.m. , but were not acknowledged . If Titanic were as far from the Californian as Lord claimed , then he knew , or should have known , that Morse signals would not be visible . A reasonable and prudent course of action would have been to awaken the wireless operator and to instruct him to attempt to contact Titanic by that method . Had Lord done so , it is possible he could have reached Titanic in time to save additional lives . Captain Lord had gone to the chartroom at 11 : 00 p.m. to spend the night ; however , Second Officer Herbert Stone , now on duty , notified Lord at 1 : 10 a.m. that the ship had fired five rockets . Lord wanted to know if they were company signals , that is , coloured flares used for identification . Stone said that he did not know and that the rockets were all white . Captain Lord instructed the crew to continue to signal the other vessel with the Morse lamp , and went back to sleep . Three more rockets were observed at 1 : 50 a.m. and Stone noted that the ship looked strange in the water , as if she were listing . At 2 : 15 a.m. , Lord was notified that the ship could no longer be seen . Lord asked again if the lights had had any colours in them , and he was informed that they were all white . Californian eventually responded . At around 5 : 30 a.m. , Chief Officer George Stewart awakened wireless operator Cyril Furmstone Evans , informed him that rockets had been seen during the night , and asked that he try to communicate with any ship . He got news of Titanic 's loss , Captain Lord was notified , and the ship set out to render assistance . She arrived well after Carpathia had already picked up all the survivors . The inquiries found that the ship seen by Californian was in fact Titanic and that it would have been possible for Californian to come to her rescue ; therefore , Captain Lord had acted improperly in failing to do so . Survivors and victims Main article : List of Titanic passengers The number of casualties of the sinking is unclear , due to a number of factors . These include confusion over the passenger list , which included some names of people who cancelled their trip at the last minute , and the fact that several passengers travelled under aliases for various reasons and were therefore double - counted on the casualty lists . The death toll has been put at between 1,490 and 1,635 people . The tables below use figures from the British Board of Trade report on the disaster . Fewer than a third of those aboard Titanic survived the disaster . Some survivors died shortly afterwards ; injuries and the effects of exposure caused the deaths of several of those brought aboard Carpathia . The figures show stark differences in the survival rates of the different classes aboard Titanic . Although only 3 % of first - class women were lost , 54 % of those in third class died . Similarly , five of six first - class and all second - class children survived , but 52 of the 79 in third class perished . The differences by gender were even bigger : nearly all female crew members , first and second class passengers were saved . Men from the First Class died at a higher rate than women from the Third Class . In total , 50 % of the children survived , 20 % of the men and 75 % of the women . The last living survivor , Millvina Dean from England , who at only nine weeks old was the youngest passenger on board , died aged 97 on 31 May 2009 . A special survivor was crew member Violet Jessop who survived the sinkings of both Titanic and Britannic and was aboard Olympic when she was rammed in 1911 .

Three other Canadian ships followed in the search : the cable ship Minia , lighthouse supply ship Montmagny and sealing vessel Algerine . Each ship left with embalming supplies , undertakers , and clergy . Of the 333 victims that were eventually recovered , 328 were retrieved by the Canadian ships and five more by passing North Atlantic steamships . The first ship to reach the site of the sinking , the CS Mackay - Bennett , found so many bodies that the embalming supplies aboard were quickly exhausted . Health regulations required that only embalmed bodies could be returned to port . Captain Larnder of the Mackay - Bennett and undertakers aboard decided to preserve only the bodies of first class passengers , justifying their decision by the need to visually identify wealthy men to resolve any disputes over large estates . As a result , many third class passengers and crew were buried at sea . Larnder identified many of those buried at sea as crew members by their clothing , and stated that as a mariner , he himself would be contented to be buried at sea . Bodies recovered were preserved for transport to Halifax , the closest city to the sinking with direct rail and steamship connections . The Halifax coroner , John Henry Barnstead , developed a detailed system to identify bodies and safeguard personal possessions . Relatives from across North America came to identify and claim bodies . A large temporary morgue was set up in the curling rink of the Mayflower Curling Club and undertakers were called in from all across eastern Canada to assist . Some bodies were shipped to be buried in their home towns across North America and Europe . About two - thirds of the bodies were identified . Unidentified victims were buried with simple numbers based on the order in which their bodies were discovered . The majority of recovered victims , 150 bodies , were buried in three Halifax cemeteries , the largest being Fairview Lawn Cemetery followed by the nearby Mount Olivet and Baron de Hirsch cemeteries . In mid-May 1912 , RMS Oceanic recovered three bodies over 200 miles ( 320 km ) from the site of the sinking who were among the original occupants of Collapsible A. When Fifth Officer Harold Lowe and six crewmen returned to the wreck site sometime after the sinking in a lifeboat to pick up survivors , they rescued a dozen males and one female from Collapsible A , but left the dead bodies of three of its occupants . After their retrieval from Collapsible A by Oceanic , the bodies were buried at sea . The last Titanic body recovered was steward James McGrady , Body No. 330 , found by the chartered Newfoundland sealing vessel Algerine on 22 May and buried at Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax on 12 June . Only 333 bodies of Titanic victims were recovered , one in five of the over 1500 victims . Some bodies sank with the ship while currents quickly dispersed bodies and wreckage across hundreds of miles making them difficult to recover . By June one of the last search ships reported that life jackets supporting bodies were coming apart and releasing bodies to sink . Wreck Main article : Wreck of the RMS Titanic The bow of the wrecked RMS Titanic , photographed in June 2004 Titanic was long thought to have sunk in one piece and , over the years , many schemes were put forward for raising the wreck . None came to fruition . The fundamental problem was the sheer difficulty of finding and reaching a wreck that lies over 12,000 feet ( 3,700 m ) below the surface , in a location where the water pressure is over 6,500 pounds per square inch ( 450 bar ) . A number of expeditions were mounted to find Titanic but it was not until 1 September 1985 that a Franco - American expedition led by Robert Ballard succeeded . The team discovered that Titanic had in fact split apart , probably near or at the surface , before sinking to the seabed . The separated bow and stern sections lie about a third of a mile ( 0.6 km ) apart in Titanic Canyon off the coast of Newfoundland . They are located 13.2 miles ( 21.2 km ) from the inaccurate coordinates given by Titanic 's radio operators on the night of her sinking , and approximately 715 miles ( 1,151 km ) from Halifax and 1,250 miles ( 2,012 km ) from New York . Both sections struck the sea bed at considerable speed , causing the bow to crumple and the stern to collapse entirely . The bow is by far the more intact section and still contains some surprisingly intact interiors . In contrast , the stern is completely wrecked ; its decks have pancaked down on top of each other and much of the hull plating was torn off and lies scattered across the sea floor . The much greater level of damage to the stern is probably due to structural damage incurred during the sinking . Thus weakened , the remainder of the stern was flattened by the impact with the sea bed . The two sections are surrounded by a debris field measuring approximately 5 by 3 miles ( 8.0 km × 4.8 km ) . It contains hundreds of thousands of items , such as pieces of the ship , furniture , dinnerware and personal items , which fell from the ship as she sank or were ejected when the bow and stern impacted on the sea floor . The debris field was also the last resting place of a number of Titanic 's victims . Most of the bodies and clothes were consumed by sea creatures and bacteria , leaving pairs of shoes and boots -- which have proved to be inedible -- as the only sign that bodies once lay there . Since its initial discovery , the wreck of Titanic has been revisited on numerous occasions by explorers , scientists , filmmakers , tourists and salvagers , who have recovered thousands of items from the debris field for conservation and public display . The ship 's condition has deteriorated significantly over the years , particularly from accidental damage by submersibles but mostly because of an accelerating rate of growth of iron - eating bacteria on the hull . It has been estimated that within the next 50 years the hull and structure of Titanic will eventually collapse entirely , leaving only the more durable interior fittings of the ship intermingled with a pile of rust on the sea floor . Bell from the Titanic Many artefacts from Titanic have been recovered from the sea bed by RMS Titanic Inc. , which exhibits them in touring exhibitions around the world and in a permanent exhibition at the Luxor Las Vegas hotel and casino in Las Vegas , Nevada . A number of other museums exhibit artefacts either donated by survivors or retrieved from the floating bodies of victims of the disaster . On 16 April 2012 , the day after the 100th anniversary of the sinking , photos were released showing possible human remains resting on the ocean floor . The photos , taken by Robert Ballard during an expedition led by NOAA in 2004 , show a boot and a coat close to Titanic 's stern which experts called `` compelling evidence '' that it is the spot where somebody came to rest , and that human remains could be buried in the sediment beneath them . The wreck of the Titanic falls under the scope of the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage . This means that all states party to the convention will prohibit the pillaging , commercial exploitation , sale and dispersion of the wreck and its artefacts . Because of the location of the wreck in international waters and the lack of any exclusive jurisdiction over the wreckage area , the convention provides a state co-operation system , by which states inform each other of any potential activity concerning ancient shipwreck sites , like the Titanic , and co-operate to prevent unscientific or unethical interventions . Legacy Safety Main article : Changes in safety practices after the sinking of the RMS Titanic An ice patrol aircraft inspecting an iceberg After the disaster , recommendations were made by both the British and American Boards of Inquiry stating that ships should carry enough lifeboats for all aboard , mandated lifeboat drills would be implemented , lifeboat inspections would be conducted , etc . Many of these recommendations were incorporated into the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea passed in 1914 . The convention has been updated by periodic amendments , with a completely new version adopted in 1974 . Signatories to the convention followed up with national legislation to implement the new standards . For example in Britain , new `` Rules for Life Saving Appliances '' were passed by the Board of Trade on 8 May 1914 and then applied at a meeting of British steamship companies in Liverpool in June 1914 . Further , the United States government passed the Radio Act of 1912 . This act , along with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea , stated that radio communications on passenger ships would be operated 24 hours a day , along with a secondary power supply , so as not to miss distress calls . Also , the Radio Act of 1912 required ships to maintain contact with vessels in their vicinity as well as coastal onshore radio stations . In addition , it was agreed in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea that the firing of red rockets from a ship must be interpreted as a sign of need for help . Once the Radio Act of 1912 was passed it was agreed that rockets at sea would be interpreted as distress signals only , thus removing any possible misinterpretation from other ships . Finally , the disaster led to the formation and international funding of the International Ice Patrol , an agency of the United States Coast Guard that to the present day monitors and reports on the location of North Atlantic Ocean icebergs that could pose a threat to transatlantic sea traffic . Coast Guard aircraft conduct the primary reconnaissance . In addition , information is collected from ships operating in or passing through the ice area . Except for the years of the two World Wars , the International Ice Patrol has worked each season since 1913 . During the period there has not been a single reported loss of life or property due to collision with an iceberg in the patrol area . In 1912 , the Board of Trade chartered the barque Scotia to act as a weather ship in the Grand Banks of Newfoundland , keeping a look - out for icebergs . A Marconi wireless was installed to enable her to communicate with stations on the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland . Cultural Main article : Cultural legacy of RMS Titanic Titanic Belfast , 2012 Titanic has gone down in history as the ship that was called unsinkable . For more than 100 years , she has been the inspiration of fiction and non-fiction . She is commemorated by monuments for the dead and by museums exhibiting artefacts from the wreck . Just after the sinking memorial postcards sold in huge numbers together with memorabilia ranging from tin candy boxes to plates , whiskey jiggers , and even black mourning teddy bears . Several survivors wrote books about their experiences but it was not until 1955 the first historically accurate book A Night to Remember was published . The first film about the disaster , Saved from the Titanic , was released only 29 days after the ship sank and had an actual survivor as its star -- the silent film actress Dorothy Gibson . The British film A Night to Remember ( 1958 ) is still widely regarded as the most historically accurate movie portrayal of the sinking . The most financially successful by far has been James Cameron 's Titanic ( 1997 ) , which became the highest - grossing film in history up to that time , as well as the winner of 11 Oscars at the 70th Academy Awards , including Best Picture and Best Director for Cameron . The Titanic disaster was commemorated through a variety of memorials and monuments to the victims , erected in several English - speaking countries and in particular in cities that had suffered notable losses . These included Southampton , Liverpool and Belfast in the United Kingdom ; New York and Washington , D.C. in the United States ; and Cobh ( formerly Queenstown ) in Ireland . A number of museums around the world have displays on Titanic . In Northern Ireland , the ship is commemorated by the Titanic Belfast visitor attraction , opened on 31 March 2012 , that stands on the site of the shipyard where Titanic was built . RMS Titanic Inc. , which is authorised to salvage the wreck site , has a permanent Titanic exhibition at the Luxor Las Vegas hotel and casino in Nevada which features a 22 - ton slab of the ship 's hull . It also runs an exhibition which travels around the world . In Nova Scotia , Halifax 's Maritime Museum of the Atlantic displays items that were recovered from the sea a few days after the disaster . They include pieces of woodwork such as panelling from the ship 's First Class Lounge and an original deckchair , as well as objects removed from the victims . In 2012 the centenary was marked by plays , radio programmes , parades , exhibitions and special trips to the site of the sinking together with commemorative stamps and coins . In a frequently commented - on literary coincidence , Morgan Robertson authored a novel called Futility in 1898 about a fictional British passenger liner with the plot bearing a number of similarities to the Titanic disaster . In the novel the ship is the SS Titan , a four - stacked liner , the largest in the world and considered unsinkable . But like the Titanic , she sinks after hitting an iceberg and does not have enough lifeboats .

Titanic replicas See also : Replica Titanic and Titanic II First Class Lounge of the Olympic which was almost identical to that of the Titanic , seen today as a dining room in the White Swan Hotel , Alnwick There have been several proposals and studies for a project to build a replica ship based on the Titanic . A project by South African businessman Sarel Gaus was abandoned in 2006 , and a project by Australian businessman Clive Palmer was announced in 2012 , known as the Titanic II . A Chinese shipbuilding company known as Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co. , Ltd commenced construction in January 2014 to build a replica ship of the Titanic for use in a resort . The vessel will house many features of the original , such as a ballroom , dining hall , theatre , first - class cabins , economy cabins and swimming pool . Tourists will be able to reside inside the Titanic during their time at the resort . It will be permanently docked at the resort and feature an audiovisual simulation of the sinking , which has caused some criticism . The RMS Olympic was the sister ship of the Titanic . The interior decoration of the dining salon and the grand staircase were in identical style and created by the same craftsmen . Large parts of the interior of the Olympic were later sold and are now in the White Swan Hotel , Alnwick , which gives an impression of how the interior of the Titanic looked .

Sir Alfred Chalmers , nautical adviser to the Board of Trade from 1896 to 1911 , had considered the matter of adjusting the scale `` from time to time '' , but because he not only assumed that experienced sailors would need to be carried `` uselessly '' aboard ship only to lower and man the extra lifeboats , but also anticipated the difficulty in getting away a greater number than 16 boats in any emergency , he `` did not consider it necessary to increase ( the scale ) '' . Jump up ^ He expressed deep disappointment about the decision before the voyage , but was presumably greatly relieved afterwards . Jump up ^ Titanic also had a ship 's cat , Jenny , who gave birth to a litter of kittens shortly before the ship 's maiden voyage ; all perished in the sinking . Jump up ^ Known afterward as the `` Unsinkable Molly Brown '' due to her efforts in helping other passengers while the ship sank Jump up ^ Captain Edward Smith had been in command of Titanic 's sister Olympic when she in 1911 collided with a warship . Even though that ship was designed to sink others by ramming them , it suffered greater damage than Olympic , thereby strengthening the image of the class being unsinkable . Jump up ^ The official enquiry found that damage extended about 300 feet , but both Edward Wilding 's testimony and modern ultrasound surveys of the wreck suggest the total area was perhaps a few narrow openings totalling perhaps no more than 12 to 13 square feet ( 1.1 to 1.2 m ) . Jump up ^ An incident confirmed this philosophy while Titanic was under construction : the White Star liner Republic was involved in a collision and sank . Even though she did not have enough lifeboats for all passengers , they were all saved because the ship was able to stay afloat long enough for them to be ferried to ships coming to assist . Jump up ^ Life expectancy in such temperatures is often under 15 minutes even for people who are young and fit . The victims would have died from bodily reactions to freezing water rather than hypothermia ( loss of core temperature ) . Immersed into freezing seas , around 20 % of victims die within two minutes from cold shock ( uncontrolled rapid breathing and gasping causing water inhalation , massive increase in blood pressure , cardiac strain leading to cardiac arrest , and panic ) , another 50 % die within 15 -- 30 minutes from cold incapacitation ( inability to use or control limbs and hands for swimming or gripping , as the body ' protectively ' shuts down peripheral muscles to protect its core ) , and exhaustion and unconsciousness cause drowning , claiming the rest within a similar time . Jump up ^ The Salvation Army newspaper , The War Cry , reported that `` none but a heart of stone would be unmoved in the presence of such anguish . Night and day that crowd of pale , anxious faces had been waiting patiently for the news that did not come . Nearly every one in the crowd had lost a relative . '' It was not until 17 April that the first incomplete lists of survivors came through , delayed by poor communications . Jump up ^ On 23 April , the Daily Mail reported : `` Late in the afternoon hope died out . The waiting crowds thinned , and silent men and women sought their homes . In the humbler homes of Southampton there is scarcely a family who has not lost a relative or friend . Children returning from school appreciated something of tragedy , and woeful little faces were turned to the darkened , fatherless homes . '' Jump up ^ According to an eyewitness report , there `` were many pathetic scenes '' when Titanic 's survivors disembarked at New York Jump up ^ Lord protested his innocence to the end of his life , and many researchers have asserted that the known positions of Titanic and Californian make it impossible that the former was the infamous `` mystery ship '' , a topic which has `` generated ... millions of words and ... hours of heated debates '' and continues to do so . Jump up ^ Most of the bodies were numbered , however , the five passengers buried at sea by Carpathia went unnumbered . Jump up ^ Thomas Beattie , a first class passenger , and two crew members , a fireman and a seaman . Jump up ^ An example is Daniel Butler 's book about RMS Titanic , titled Unsinkable ^ Jump up to : Ship 's time ; at the time of the collision , Titanic 's clocks were set to 2 hours 2 minutes ahead of Eastern Time Zone and 2 hours 58 minutes behind Greenwich Mean Time .

"The team discovered that Titanic had in fact split apart, probably near or at the surface, before sinking to the seabed. The separated bow and stern sections lie about a third of a mile (0.6 km) apart in Titanic Canyon off the coast of Newfoundland. They are located 13.2 miles (21.2 km) from the inaccurate coordinates given by Titanic's radio operators on the night of her sinking,[229] and approximately 715 miles (1,151 km) from Halifax and 1,250 miles (2,012 km) from New York."

Type Amphitheater Capacity 5,000 Opened August 1982 Website Altos de Chavón Amphitheater Altos de Chavón is a re-creation of a Mediterranean style European village located atop the Chavón River in La Romana , Dominican Republic . It is the most popular attraction in the city and hosts a cultural center , an archeological museum , and an amphitheater . The project was conceived by the Italian architect Roberto Copa , and the industrialist Charles Bluhdorn . History ( edit ) Chavón River The project began in 1976 when the construction of a nearby road and bridge crossing the Chavón River had to be blasted through a mountain of stone . Charles Bludhorn , chairman of Paramount then parent Gulf + Western , had the idea of using the stones to re-create a sixteenth - century style Mediterranean village , similar to some of the architecture found in the historic center of Santo Domingo . Construction was completed in the early 1980s . Charles Bluhdorn 's daughter , Dominique Bluhdorn , is the current president of the Altos de Chavón Cultural Center Foundation . Narrow , cobble - covered alleyways lined with lanterns and shuttered limestone walls yield several good Mediterranean - style restaurants , a number of quaint shops featuring the diverse craftwork of local artisans , and three galleries exhibiting the talents of students from the on - site design school ( La Escuela de Diseño , an affiliate of Parsons School of Design in New York City ) . Notable attendees of the Altos de Chavón Design School have included Lisa Thon and Mía Lourdes Taveras López . Altos de Chavon . Adding authenticity to the project is the charming St. Stanislaus Church ( Iglesia San Estanislao de Cracovia in Spanish ) with its plaza and sparkling fountain that is a popular wedding venue . The Church of St Stanislaus was named after the patron saint of Poland in tribute to Pope John Paul II , who visited Santo Domingo in 1979 and left some of the saint 's ashes behind . It was in this church that Louis Alphonse , Duke of Anjou married Venezuelan heiress Maria Margarita de Vargas y Santaella on November 6 , 2004 . Amphiteater . A Roman - styled 5,000 - seat amphitheater hosts 20th century musical acts -- The Pet Shop Boys , Frank Sinatra , and Julio Iglesias to name a few -- while Génesis nightclub provides a popular dance venue for guests from the Casa de Campo resort nearby . The Regional Museum of Archaeology ( El Museo Arqueológico Regional ) contains a collection of pre-Columbian Indian artifacts unearthed in the surrounding area . Altos de Chavón overlooks Rio Chavón and the Dye Fore golf course of Casa de Campo ; both built by former Gulf + Western chairman Charles Bluhdorn . The Concert for the Americas was held here in August 1982 . Performers included Frank Sinatra , Buddy Rich , Heart and Santana .

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 sex workers 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 , was married and had a daughter , a job , a bank account , and her own name and identity in the `` time before '' , 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 husband and daughter . The Waterfords , key players in the rise of Gilead , have their own conflicts with the realities of the society they have helped create . Cast and characters ( edit ) Main article : List of The Handmaid 's Tale characters Main ( edit ) Elisabeth Moss as June Osborne / Offred , a woman who was captured while attempting to escape to Canada with her husband , Luke , and daughter , Hannah . Due to her fertility , she is made a Handmaid to Commander Fred Waterford and his wife , Serena Joy , and is named `` Offred '' . 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 . He wishes to have more contact with June outside of what is lawful between a Handmaid and her master , and starts inviting her to play nightly games of Scrabble . 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 / Ofjoseph , 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 '' . Madeline Brewer as Janine / Ofwarren / Ofdaniel , a Handmaid who entered the Red Center for training at the same time as June and considers June a friend due to her kind treatment . Initially non-compliant , Janine 's right eye is removed as a punishment . She becomes mentally unstable due to her treatment and often behaves in temperamental or childlike ways . 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 . June and Nick develop an intimate relationship and she eventually discovers that he is an Eye , a spy for Gilead . Samira Wiley as Moira / Ruby , June 's best friend since college . She is already at the Red Center when June enters Handmaid training but escapes before being assigned to a home . She is recaptured and becomes `` Ruby '' , a Jezebel . She seems to have given up hope of ever being free , but on meeting June again regains the conviction to escape . Amanda Brugel as Rita ( recurring season 1 , main season 2 -- present ) , a Martha at the Waterford home . She had a son who died fighting in the civil war when he was 19 years old . Bradley Whitford as Commander Joseph Lawrence ( recurring season 2 , main season 3 ) , the founder of the Colonies . Recurring ( edit ) Ever Carradine as Naomi Putnam , Commander Warren Putnam 's wife . 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 . Nina Kiri as Alma / Ofrobert , another Handmaid who trained at the Red Center with June , Moira , and Janine . She is frank and chatty , and often trades gossip and news with June . 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 . Bahia Watson as Brianna / Oferic , another local Handmaid who is friends with June . Jordana Blake as Hannah Bankole , June and Luke 's daughter . She is later renamed Agnes .

Greg Bryk as Commander Ray Cushing ( season 2 ) Rohan Mead as Isaac ( season 2 ) , a Guardian assigned to the Waterford home . Julie Dretzin as Eleanor Lawrence ( season 2 ) , Joseph 's wife . Guest ( edit ) Kristen Gutoskie as Beth ( season 1 ) , a Martha at Jezebel 's . She has an arrangement with Nick whereby she trades illegal alcohol and other contraband for drugs , which the Jezebels use .

Showrunner Bruce Miller stated that he envisioned 10 seasons of the show , stating , `` Well , you know , honestly , when I started , I tried to game out in my head what would ten seasons be like ? If you hit a home run , you want energy to go around the bases , you want enough story to keep going , if you can hook the audience to care about these people enough that they 're actually crying at the finale . '' Season 2 was filmed primarily in Toronto , Ontario , but some scenes were shot in Hamilton , Ontario and in Cambridge , Ontario . Season 3 is to start production in Toronto in October 2018 .

Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Season Critical response Rotten Tomatoes Metacritic 95 % ( 107 reviews ) 92 ( 41 reviews ) 92 % ( 73 reviews ) 86 ( 28 reviews ) Season 1 ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the first season has an approval rating of 95 % based on 107 reviews , with an average rating of 8.7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Haunting and vivid , The Handmaid 's Tale is an endlessly engrossing adaptation of Margaret Atwood 's dystopian novel that 's anchored by a terrific central performance from Elisabeth Moss . '' On Metacritic , it has a weighted average score of 92 out of 100 based on 41 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter called it `` probably the spring 's best new show '' . Jen Chaney of Vulture gave it a highly positive review , and wrote that it is `` A faithful adaptation of the book that also brings new layers to Atwood 's totalitarian , sexist world of forced surrogate motherhood '' and that `` this series is meticulously paced , brutal , visually stunning , and so suspenseful from moment to moment that only at the end of each hour will you feel fully at liberty to exhale '' . There was much debate on whether parallels could be drawn between the series ( and by extension , the book it is based on ) and American society during the Presidency of Donald Trump . A comparison has also been made to the Salafi / Wahabbi extremism of ISIL , under which enslaved women of religious minorities are passed around and utilized as sex objects and vessels to bear new jihadis . Season 2 ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the second season has an approval rating of 92 % based on 74 reviews , with an average rating of 8.31 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Beautifully shot but dishearteningly relevant , The Handmaid 's Tale centers its sophomore season tightly around its compelling cast of characters , making room for broader social commentary through more intimate lenses . '' On Metacritic , it has a weighted average score of 86 out of 100 based on 28 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . However , the second season of the show received criticism for being excessive in its depictions of violence with critics questioning whether it was merely `` torture porn '' and going too far . The Atlantic 's Sophie Gilbert wrote : `` There came a point during the first episode where , for me , it became too much . '' Lisa Miller of The Cut wrote : `` I have pressed mute and fast forward so often this season , I am forced to wonder : ' Why am I watching this ' ? It all feels so gratuitous , like a beating that never ends . '' And The Daily Telegraph 's Rebecca Reid admitted she had an anxiety attack watching an episode of the show .

The film stars Jamie Kennedy as Tim Avery , an aspiring cartoonist from Fringe City who has just had his first child born with the powers of the Mask . It is the stand - alone sequel to the successful 1994 film The Mask , an adaptation of Dark Horse Comics which starred Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz . It also stars Alan Cumming as the god of mischief , Loki , whom Odin has ordered to find the Mask . It co-stars Traylor Howard , Kal Penn , Steven Wright , and Bob Hoskins as Odin .

Bill Farmer and Richard Steven Horvitz provide the voice and vocal effects of Masked Otis . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Reception 5 Video game 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Plot ( edit ) A decade after the events of the first film , Dr. Arthur Neuman is giving a tour of the hall of Norse mythology in Edge City Museum . When Dr. Neuman reaches the part concerning Loki 's mask , a man in black becomes increasingly anxious . Dr. Neuman mentions that Loki created the mask and unleashed it on Earth , and that those who wear the mask would have the powers of Loki . When Dr. Neuman mentions that Odin punished Loki with imprisonment , the stranger becomes very angry and transforms , revealing himself to be Loki . The tourists panic and flee , but Dr. Neuman stays to argue with the angry god . Loki takes the mask , but realizes it is a fake . In anger , he removes Dr. Neuman 's still talking face from his body and puts it on the mask stand , before getting rid of the guards and storming out of the museum in a whirlwind of rage . Meanwhile , the real mask , which was thrown in the river by Stanley Ipkiss and Tina Carlyle at the end of the previous film , makes its way to a town called Fringe City , not far from Edge City , and is found by a dog named Otis - who belongs to Tim Avery , an aspiring cartoonist at an animation company , is feeling reluctant to become a father . He has a beautiful wife , Tonya , and a best friend , Jorge . On a tropical island , Loki is relaxing until Odin confronts him and orders his son to find the mask . Loki asks Odin to help him , but Odin tells Loki that this is his mess and he has to clean it up . Later that night , Tim puts on the mask for a Halloween party , transforming into a party animal similar to the mask character from the first film . When the company party turns out to be a bore , Tim uses his mask powers to perform a remix of `` Ca n't Take My Eyes Off You '' , making the party a success , and giving Tim 's boss the idea for a new cartoon , resulting in his promotion the next day . Tim returns to his house and , while still wearing the mask , conceives a baby . The baby , when he is born , has the same powers as Loki . Meanwhile , Loki is trying to find the child born from the mask , as his father Odin , possessing a store clerk , tells him if he finds the child , he will find the mask . Later , Tonya goes on a business trip , leaving Tim with the baby . Tim , who has been promoted at work , desperately tries to work on his cartoon at home , but is continuously disrupted by baby Alvey . In order to get some peace and quiet , Tim lets Alvey watch TV , which shows Michigan J. Frog . Alvey devilishly obtains the idea to mess with his father 's head by using his mask powers . Meanwhile , Otis the dog , who has been feeling neglected by Tim because of Alvey , dons the mask by accident and becomes a crazed animal version of himself , who wishes to get rid of the baby , but all his attempts are overturned by Alvey . Tim starts to notice his son and dog 's wild cartoonish behavior when Alvey starts harassing him . Eventually , Loki finds the mask - born baby , and confronts Tim for the mask back , but is thwarted again and again by Alvey who uses his powers to protect his father . Eventually , Odin becomes fed up with Loki 's destructive approach and strips his son of his powers . A seemingly - deranged Tim is later fired after failing to impress his boss during a pitch , but is able to reconcile and bond with Alvey . Loki , still determined to please his father , manages to complete a summoning ritual and appeal to Odin to restore his powers . Odin agrees , but only for a limited time , stating this as his last chance . Loki then kidnaps Alvey to exchange for the mask , but decides to keep him despite the exchange , forcing Tim to don the mask again to fight Loki . The subsequent confrontation is relatively evenly matched due to Loki and Tim - in - the - Mask possessing equal powers , prompting Loki to halt the fight , and suggest that they let Alvey decide who he wants to live with . Although Loki tries to lure Alvey to him with toys and promises of fun , Tim wins when he removes the mask and asks Alvey to come back to him using the human connection he has forged with his son . Saddened and enraged , Loki tries to kill Tim , but his time runs out and Odin appears in person . Odin disowns Loki , calling him a failure , and begins to banish Loki , but Tim confronts the powerful Norse god and tells him that `` the most important thing in life is a relationship with your family '' , and Odin accepts Loki as a son , accepting the mask from Tim as well . Tim 's cartoon , based on his own experiences of a boy and a dog competing for the father 's attention ( with Jorge playing the father via motion capture performance ) , is a hit , and Tonya reveals that she is pregnant again before the film closes .

( January 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Not long after the release of The Mask , it was announced in Nintendo Power that Jim Carrey would be returning in a sequel called The Mask II . The magazine held a contest where the first prize would be awarded a walk - on role in the film . Director Chuck Russell , who helmed the original film , expressed his interest in a Mask sequel in his 1996 Laserdisc commentary . He was hoping Carrey would come back as the title character , along with Amy Yasbeck , who played reporter Peggy Brandt in the original . Russell decided to cut scenes when Peggy dies and leave the character open for the sequel , which became this film . In a 1995 Barbara Walters Special , Carrey revealed that he was offered $10 million to star in The Mask II , but turned it down , because his experiences on Ace Ventura : When Nature Calls convinced him that reprising a character he 'd previously played offered him no challenges as an actor . Due to Carrey declining to reprise his role , the project never came to fruition , and the concept for the sequel was completely changed . As a result , in the final issue of Nintendo Power , an apology was issued to the winner of the contest . Ben Stein reprises his role of Dr. Arthur Neuman from the original film . He is involved in the movie to re-establish the relationship between the mask and its creator , Loki . He is the only actor to appear in both films as well as in The Mask cartoon series . The dog 's name , Otis , connects with the dog from the original film and comic book , Milo , as a reference to the movie The Adventures of Milo and Otis . The naming of `` Tim Avery '' pays homage to famous cartoonist Tex Avery . Tim Avery wants to be a cartoonist throughout the film . The film was shot in Fox Studios Sydney . Reception ( edit ) Upon its release , the film was critically panned by various movie critics . On Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds a rating of 6 % , based on 104 reviews , with the site 's consensus reading : `` Overly frantic , painfully unfunny , and sorely missing the presence of Jim Carrey . '' The site ranked the film 75th in the 100 worst reviewed films of the 2000s . On Metacritic , the film has a score of 20 out of 100 , based on 26 critics , indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews '' . In his review Richard Roeper stated `` In the five years I 've been co-hosting this show , this is the closest I 've ever come to walking out halfway through the film , and now that I look back on the experience , I wish I had . '' Roger Ebert gave the film 1.5 stars and stated `` What we basically have here is a license for the filmmakers to do whatever they want to do with the special effects , while the plot , like Wile E. Coyote , keeps running into the wall . '' . He later named it the fifth worst film of 2005 . On their television show Ebert & Roeper gave the film `` Two Thumbs Down '' . Lou Lumerick of the New York Post said `` Parents who let their kids see this stinker should be brought up on abuse charges ; so should the movie ratings board that let this suggestive mess slip by with a PG rating . '' When placing blame for the film 's critical failure , critic Willie Waffle of WaffleMovies.com asserted , `` How far down the Hollywood food chain do you have to go before you get stuck with Jamie Kennedy as the star of your movie ? Was Carrot Top busy ? Did Pauly Shore refuse to return your calls ? '' It was the most nominated film at the 2005 Golden Raspberry Awards with eight , winning for Worst Remake or Sequel , and won several 2005 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards , including Worst Actor ( Jamie Kennedy ) , Worst Sequel , and Worst Couple . The film earned back $57.6 million of its $84 million budget , making it a box office bomb . When asked in an interview about whether the film 's negative critical reaction had damaged Kennedy 's morale in wanting do another project like this , Kennedy replied to the interviewer , `` Yes . You got me right after a batch of bad interviews so I 'm going to be honest with you about this . It does because I 'm just being killed , absolutely killed ... But honestly , doing this movie is an interesting experience because I just came off my show and Malibu 's Most Wanted where I had a good amount of control . And then in this movie I did n't have any control . I just ca n't do that . I have to have my voice in there . If I ca n't , I 'm just going to be like I 'm doing someone else 's thing . I have to have some of my voice because I have my own experiences that I lived through . All I can do is just try to make things independently . That 's the only way you can do it . The only way you can do that is if you 're a huge , huge , huge star . I 'm not there yet . I 'm just like a working actor . '' The largely negative reviews of Son of the Mask , some of which attacked Kennedy personally , inspired Kennedy to co-create the documentary film Heckler , an examination of both hecklers and professional critics . Video game ( edit ) A video game based on the film was released on Wireless Phone on February 10 , 2005 . The game was published and developed by Indiagames .

1565414499479338297 | Tornadoes in the United States | Tornadoes in the United States - wikipedia Tornadoes in the United States Jump to : navigation , search A tornado strikes Central Oklahoma . This was part of the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak on May 3 , 1999 . Tornadoes are more common in United States than in any other country . The United States receives more than 1,200 tornadoes annually -- four times the amount seen in Europe . Violent tornadoes -- those rated EF4 or EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale -- occur more often in the United States than in any other country . Most tornadoes in the United States occur east of the Rocky Mountains . The Great Plains , the Midwest , the Mississippi Valley and the southern United States are all areas that are vulnerable to tornadoes . They are relatively rare west of the Rockies and are also less frequent in the northeastern states . Tornado Alley is a colloquial term for an area particularly prone to tornadoes . There is no officially defined ' Tornado Alley ' -- at its broadest this area stretches from North Texas to Canada with its core centered on Oklahoma , Kansas and northern Texas . Another highly significant region -- colloquially known as Dixie Alley -- is the southern United States and particularly the northern and central parts of Alabama and Mississippi . Florida is one of the most tornado prone states . However , Florida tornadoes only rarely approach the strength of those that occur elsewhere . Although favorable conditions for tornadoes in the United States can occur at any time , they are most common in spring and least common in winter . Because spring is a transitional period for the climate , there are more chances of cooler air meeting with warmer air , resulting in more thunderstorms . Tornadoes can also be spawned by landfalling tropical cyclones , which usually occur in late summer and autumn . In the United States , thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes usually form when the temperature is at its highest , typically from 4 : 00 p.m. to 7 : 00 p.m. Although the period in which most tornadoes strike ( `` tornado season '' ) is March through June , tornadoes -- including violent tornadoes and major tornado outbreaks -- have been documented in the United States during every month of the year . Two examples of this are when a series of tornadoes hit the state of Indiana on November 22 , 1992 , and injured at least nine people . Another notable non-season tornado was where a tornado struck the area of McLean County , Illinois . Even though the tornado was during a winter month , it blew 20 railroad cars off their tracks , and hauled a camper over 100 yards ( 91 m ) . During the winter months of the year , tornadoes have been known to hit the Southern United States and Southeastern United States the most , but have hit other areas as well . One notable recent example of a winter tornado outbreak was the 2008 Super Tuesday tornado outbreak on February 5 and February 6 , 2008 . 84 tornadoes occurred over the course of the outbreak . The storm system produced several destructive tornadoes in heavily populated areas , most notably in the Memphis metropolitan area , in Jackson , Tennessee , and the northeastern end of the Nashville metropolitan area . At least 57 people were killed across four states and 18 counties , with hundreds of others injured . The outbreak was the deadliest of the modern NEXRAD doppler radar era , until the 2011 Super Outbreak killed over 348 people ( 324 of which were tornado - related ) . It was the deadliest single outbreak since the May 31 , 1985 outbreak , which killed 76 across Ohio and Pennsylvania , as well claiming 12 victims in Ontario , Canada . It was also the deadliest outbreak in both Tennessee and Kentucky since the 1974 Super Outbreak . Usually , tornadoes hit specific areas of the United States in specific seasons . During the winter months , tornadoes are usually spotted in the Southern area of the country , as well as states near the Gulf of Mexico . This is due to cold air moving southward reaching its southern limit of expansion , and stopping over the Gulf Coast . As spring comes , hot air progressively moves back into the Gulf Coast . This pushes the mass of colder air forward out of the Gulf States and into the Southeastern states , where tornado frequency is highest in April . As spring passes and summer begins , the mass of warm moist air moves northwest into the Great Plains and Midwestern states . During the months of May and June , tornado activity is as its peak in the southern Great Plains . The air mass then moves northward into the Northern Great Plains and the Great Lakes area , causing a tornado activity peak in these areas during the summer months . During the late summer and early fall months , tornado activity in the United States tapers off . This is due to the relatively small difference between the temperature at the boundary of the hot air mass and the cool air mass at that time and an extension of the Bermuda High sitting over parts of the United States . Though there may be some thunderstorms , they do n't often become severe enough to spawn tornadoes . Tornadoes may be formed out of season , especially during the months of hurricane season in the Gulf Coast states and Southeastern states . Because these areas are prone to hurricanes , they may be struck with tornadoes that are spawned from hurricanes . Tornadoes are most likely to form in the right - front quadrant of the hurricane , but can also form in rain bands associated with the storm . This is caused by the large amount of vertical wind shear to the right of the storm . Tornadoes are also spawned from U.S. hurricanes due to the moistness of the air at the landfall of the storm , which makes conditions favorable for a supercell storm to develop within the hurricane .

Tornadoes have been documented in every U.S. state ( not including the non-state territories of Guam , the Virgin Islands , American Samoa , and Puerto Rico ) at least once since 1950 , although some regions and states are hit by tornadoes far more than others . For example , the average number of tornadoes to hit the states of Alaska , Rhode Island , and Vermont is less than one , while the state of Oklahoma receives an average of 52 tornadoes per year , and the state of Texas is hit with 126 tornadoes in an average year . The state with the most tornadoes per unit area is Florida , though most are weak tornadoes of EF0 or EF1 intensity . A number of Florida 's tornadoes occur along the edge of hurricanes that strike the state . The state with the highest number of strong tornadoes per unit area is Oklahoma . States such as Oklahoma and Kansas have much lower population densities than Florida , so tornadoes may go unreported . Midwest ( edit ) The Midwestern states are very prone to tornado activity , as it is part of `` Tornado Alley . '' States included in the area that are hit by tornadoes the most are Kansas , Missouri , Nebraska , Iowa , and South Dakota . The Midwestern States are often hit by tornadoes during the late spring and early summer months , especially the months of May and June . This is due to the aforementioned air mass moving northward into the Midwest and combining with another air mass that move southward from Canada . This creates unstable air , creating the potential for storms to strike the most during these months . The frequency begins to decrease in the middle of the summer , as the air mass moves northward into the Great Lakes states . A Doppler On Wheels unit observing a tornado near Attica , Kansas . A very notable recent storm that has hit this area was the Northwood , Kansas tornado , in the May 2007 Tornado Outbreak . The tornado apparently strengthened as it neared Northwood , and at 9 : 38 pm CDT ( 0238 UTC ) , storm chasers reported that it had grown to over ⁄ mile ( 0.8 km ) in diameter . Several satellite tornadoes were observed as the very large wedge approached the town of Greensburg , Kansas . It was an estimated 1.7 miles ( 2.7 km ) in diameter and was later confirmed to have been an EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale ( the highest possible rating ) . Based on the damage produced , winds inside the tornado were estimated to have been in excess of 205 mph ( 330 km / h ) . Nebraska is fifth overall for sheer numbers of tornadoes , while Indiana has had 88 violent tornado reports from the 1950 -- 2006 period , more than any state except Oklahoma . Iowa reported 3'900 almost as many as Texas . The deadliest tornado in US history , the Tri-State Tornado , struck Missouri , Illinois , and Indiana in March 1925 . St. Louis , Missouri and neighboring East St. Louis , Illinois have been hit more than once by violent tornadoes , the most notorious of which was the St. Louis Tornado of May 1896 . The New Richmond Tornado of May 1899 and the Flint , Michigan tornado of June 1953 also rank amongst the deadliest tornadoes in US history . The region was badly hit by the Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak in April 1965 and by the Super Outbreak of April 1974 . According to NCDC figures for the 1950 to 2006 period , Nebraska reported 2,440 tornadoes followed by Iowa ( 2,185 ) , Illinois ( 2,086 ) , Missouri ( 1,922 ) , South Dakota ( 1,487 ) , Minnesota ( 1,477 ) , Indiana ( 1,327 ) , North Dakota ( 1,216 ) , Wisconsin ( 1,185 ) , Michigan ( 981 ) , and Ohio ( 916 ) . South ( edit ) The Southern United States has suffered more tornado fatalities than any other part of the country . Some areas experience repeated damaging tornado events , such as the Tennessee Valley and in northern Alabama . The state of Alabama is tied for the most reported F5 tornadoes . For the period 1950 to 2006 , three hundred and fifty eight people were killed by tornadoes in Alabama , ranking the state third nationwide behind Texas ( 521 ) and neighboring Mississippi ( 404 ) . Fourth is Arkansas ( 336 ) and fifth is Tennessee with 271 fatalities . Tornado disasters to affect the southern USA include the Great Natchez Tornado of May 1840 -- second deadliest on record in the US , behind only the Tri-State Tornado . Other outbreaks included the Tupelo - Gainesville tornado outbreak of April 1936 , the 1908 Southeast tornado outbreak of April 1908 and the Candlestick Park Tornado of 1966 . Alabama and Kentucky were very badly affected by the Super Outbreak of 1974 . The 2008 Super Tuesday tornado outbreak was the deadliest tornado outbreak in the USA in 23 years . 58 people lost their lives with Tennessee , Arkansas , and Kentucky particularly badly affected . The 2011 Super Outbreak devastated much of the South , leaving 348 people dead . Hurricanes and other tropical storms can also generate tornadoes . Louisiana and the coastal regions of Mississippi and Alabama are most at risk from these storms . The Atlantic seaboard states can be affected too . According to NCDC figures for the 1950 to 2006 period , Mississippi reported 1,787 tornadoes , followed by Arkansas ( 1,644 ) , Louisiana ( 1,608 ) , Alabama ( 1,579 ) , Georgia ( 1,324 ) , North Carolina ( 1,042 ) , Tennessee ( 892 ) , South Carolina ( 819 ) , Kentucky ( 710 ) and Virginia ( 565 ) . West Virginia , by contrast , is one of the least vulnerable states of all with just 120 tornadoes reported over the period . East and Northeast ( edit ) A waterspout near Florida . The Northeastern U.S. to the east of the Appalachian Mountains is much less vulnerable to violent tornadoes but is by no means immune . One of the most extraordinary tornadoes in history struck Worcester , Massachusetts . This F4 tornado struck the city on 9 June 1953 and killed 90 people . The tornado was generated by the same storm system that delivered a devastating tornado to the town of Flint , Michigan . Areas further south -- notably Pennsylvania and Maryland -- and areas to the west of the Appalachians are more vulnerable to tornadoes . NCDC figures for the period 1950 to 2006 show that Pennsylvania reported 697 tornadoes , followed by New York State ( 358 ) , Maryland ( 269 ) , Massachusetts ( 153 ) , New Jersey ( 144 ) , Maine ( 101 ) , New Hampshire ( 86 ) , Connecticut ( 82 ) , Delaware ( 58 ) , Vermont ( 37 ) , Rhode Island ( 9 ) , and the District of Columbia ( 1 ) . The worst tornado outbreak in the Northeast occurred in Pennsylvania on May 31 , 1985 , and produced the only F5 tornado in the region to date . Florida is one of the most tornado prone states , with only Texas , Kansas and Oklahoma reporting more storms . During the period 1950 to 2006 , Florida reported 2,884 tornadoes according to NCDC figures . However , Florida tornadoes are usually weak in comparison with those that strike the Plains and the Southern states -- there have been only four reports of F4 strength tornadoes since 1950 and none of F5 strength . Florida experiences more thunderstorms than any other state but fewer supercell storms . Florida tornadoes are more often spawned by the frequent ordinary thunderstorms that occur over the state . Hurricanes and other tropical storms can generate large numbers of tornadoes . Non-supercell tornadoes are rarely as strong as supercell - generated storms . Florida 's most violent tornadoes generally occur during the winter months , when the state is most vulnerable to invasions of cold air that help generate such storms . In recent years there have been some particularly disastrous tornado events . During the night of February 22 and 23 , 1998 , an F3 tornado struck Kissimmee and killed 25 people . Later that night , another F3 tornado struck Seminole and Volusia counties and killed 13 people ( see Kissimmee Tornado Outbreak ) . On February 2 , 2007 , an EF3 tornado struck Lake County with 21 fatalities resulting -- see 2007 Central Florida Tornadoes . West and southwest ( edit ) Of the states around the Rocky Mountains , Colorado reports by far the greatest numbers of tornadoes . Eastern Colorado , both climatically and physically , has much more in common with the neighboring Plains states of Kansas and Nebraska than with the mountainous areas further west . Small cities such as Limon , Kit Carson , Thurman , and Flagler are some places in Eastern Colorado that have experienced dangerous tornadoes . The same can be said , to a lesser extent , of eastern Wyoming . Tornadoes are less frequent in mountainous areas . Of the states in this region -- according to NCDC figures for the 1950 to 2006 period -- Colorado reported 1,617 tornadoes , followed by Wyoming with 560 , Montana ( 345 ) , Idaho ( 175 ) , and Utah ( 114 ) . In the Southwestern United States , New Mexico reported 485 tornadoes during the 1950 to 2006 period ( NCDC figures ) , California reported 355 , Arizona reported 209 , and Nevada reported 75 . New Mexico borders the notoriously tornado prone states of Texas and Oklahoma , hence the noticeably higher figures . Most of the tornadoes here happen in the very eastern part of the state . New Mexico 's region and the desert landscape of the state help prevent the amount of twisters that happen in Oklahoma and Texas . Arizona and New Mexico experience regular summer thunderstorms during their monsoon season . These are sometimes tornadic but rarely produce violent tornadoes . The Pacific Northwest is perhaps the least vulnerable region . NCDC figures for the 1950 to 2006 period show that Washington reported just 96 tornadoes for the entire period and that Oregon reported 91 . However , Portland , Oregon and neighboring Vancouver , Washington were hit by a deadly tornado on 5 April 1972 . This storm was the deadliest to hit the United States that year . Alaska and hawaii ( edit ) Alaska has only been hit by 2 tornadoes between 1950 and 2006 ( the first being November 4 , 1959 and the other was August 2 , 2005 ) ; both were only F0 . Hawaii has only been hit by 49 tornadoes since 1950 . Intensity ( edit ) This section relies largely or entirely on a single source . Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page . Please help improve this article by introducing citations to additional sources . ( April 2014 ) A powerful tornado hits the town of Dimmitt , Texas . Tornadoes creates different damage depending how fast its wind speeds it is . The Fujita Scale classifies a tornado by its wind speeds . For example , if the tornado 's wind speeds are low , then it is classified as a F0 tornado . If the tornado 's wind speeds are about 200 miles per hour or at 200 miles per hour , then it is classified as a F5 tornado . In the United States , tornadoes have been known to form at high and low intensities . The probability of a high intensity or violent tornado differs by location across the country . For example , due to the high frequency of tornadoes in the `` Tornado Alley '' area mentioned before , a more violent tornado would be more likely to form there due to the strength of the thunderstorms produced by the two bordering air masses . The states with the highest number of F5 and EF5 rated tornadoes since data was available in 1950 are Alabama and Oklahoma , each with seven tornadoes . Iowa , Kansas , and Texas each are tied for second most with six . The state with the highest number of F5 and EF5 tornadoes per square mile , however , was Iowa . The state with the most number of tornadoes classified as `` violent '' , or F4 and F5 , is Kentucky , and the state with the highest average intensity ranking for tornadoes is Alabama . Tornadoes that are classified as EF4 and EF5 ( or `` violent tornadoes '' ) on the Enhanced Fujita Scale only account for an average of two percent of all tornadoes in the United States each year . However , these high intensity storms do account for an average of seventy percent of all tornado - related deaths in the United States each year . These storms can have winds of over 200 miles per hour ( 320 km / h ) and stay on the ground for over an hour . The United States has seen 58 F5 and EF5 ( the highest intensity and damage ranking ) tornadoes since records began in 1950 . No tornadoes prior to 1950 were officially ranked F5 , due to inadequate engineering data and other information on the historical tornadoes . From 1950 -- 1970 tornadoes were assessed retrogressively , primarily using information recorded in government databases , and newspaper photographs and descriptions . Beginning in 1971 , tornadoes were rated by the NWS using on - site damage surveys . On May 3 , 1999 , a storm produced a violent tornado in the vicinity of Oklahoma City and was a part of the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak , which also brought many violent storms to the states of Kansas , Arkansas , and Tennessee . In total , the storm produced 66 tornadoes over four states . The strong F5 storm took place near the town of Bridge Creek , Oklahoma , located in Grady County . During the storm , a group of students in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma had chased the storm on a Doppler on Wheels ( or DOW ) , which scans storms while attached to a car . Doppler on Wheels data from the nearby storm revealed winds of 301 ± 20 miles per hour ( 484 ± 32 km / h ) , which was over the wind speed in the F5 classification of that time . Though the wind speed was over the F5 maximum , the tornado was not named the first ever F6 storm , as there was no F6 classification . Other scientists reviewed the DOW data taken by the students , and concluded that the estimated wind speed may have been inaccurate , but still over 300 miles per hour ( 130 m / s ) . Also , the wind speed recorded was taken from over 200 feet ( 61 m ) above ground level . The National Weather Service also did a damage check , and found that the damage was that of an average F5 tornado . Impacts ( edit ) Injuries and fatalities ( edit ) In the United States over 80 deaths and 1,500 injuries are associated with tornadoes each year . According to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration , most tornado deaths are caused by people not following instructions on what to do the right way . They also mention that some people are not even warned that a tornadic storm is coming , while others get a warning but do not believe that a tornado will hit their area . In 2012 , 68 people were killed by tornadoes in the United States . Kentucky had the most fatalities , 22 . Kentucky was followed by Indiana ( 13 ) , Illinois ( 9 ) , Missouri and Oklahoma ( 6 ) , Ohio ( 4 ) , Alabama and Tennessee ( 3 ) , and Florida and Kansas ( 1 ) . Over 39 percent of all tornado - related deaths and many injuries come from residents of mobile homes . It is a widespread myth that tornadoes are `` attracted '' to mobile home parks , and cause the most fatalities there because they hit there the most . This is not true . However , mobile homes do often have poor construction and do not provide adequate protection during a tornado event . An example to confirm this occurred in April 1991 , when a very powerful tornado struck the town of Andover , Kansas . When the town was hit , eighty - four homes and fourteen businesses were destroyed by the tornado , but with no fatalities and only minor injuries . After the tornado hit Andover , it swept through a mobile home park consisting of 223 trailers . The park did have a tornado shelter , to which over 200 residents fled and survived without injuries . Others that did not take shelter in the tornado shelter stayed in their mobile homes , and thirteen of them were killed by the tornado . Damages ( edit ) The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornado strength from weakest , an EF0 tornado , to strongest , an EF5 tornado , by the damage the tornado caused to property and infrastructure . An EF0 tornado has winds from 65 -- 85 MPH ( 105 -- 137 KPH ) , may take off a roof or damage gutters , and can bring down tree limbs . If a tornado causes no damage because it did not occur in a populated area , it is always classed as EF0 . An EF5 tornado has winds over 200 MPH ( 322 KPH ) and can totally destroy reinforced concrete structures , even throwing rail cars a considerable distance . Forecasting ( edit ) Until recently there was little hope of forecasting these systems . Meteorologists could identify those conditions that were likely to produce severe weather and generate a watch . If a tornado was spotted a warning was issued . More recently Doppler radar allows investigators to see a circulation develop in the storm . Because of their size and intensity , there are few storm observations . Increasing information has been gathered in the field from those chasing the storm . Research activities ( edit ) This section is empty . You can help by adding to it .

"Most tornadoes in the United States occur east of the Rocky Mountains. The Great Plains, the Midwest, the Mississippi Valley and the southern United States are all areas that are vulnerable to tornadoes. They are relatively rare west of the Rockies and are also less frequent in the northeastern states. Tornado Alley is a colloquial term for an area particularly prone to tornadoes. There is no officially defined 'Tornado Alley' – at its broadest this area stretches from North Texas to Canada with its core centered on Oklahoma, Kansas and northern Texas. Another highly significant region – colloquially known as Dixie Alley – is the southern United States and particularly the northern and central parts of Alabama and Mississippi. Florida is one of the most tornado prone states. However, Florida tornadoes only rarely approach the strength of those that occur elsewhere."

The Yankees compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member club of the American League ( AL ) East division . They are one of two major league clubs based in New York City , the other being the New York Mets of the National League . In the 1901 season , the club began play in the AL as the Baltimore Orioles ( no relation to the modern Baltimore Orioles ) . Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased the franchise ( which had ceased operations ) and moved it to New York City , renaming the club the New York Highlanders . The Highlanders were officially renamed the Yankees in 1913 . The team is owned by Yankee Global Enterprises , an LLC controlled by the family of the late George Steinbrenner , who purchased the team in 1973 . Brian Cashman is the team 's general manager , and Aaron Boone is the team 's field manager . The team 's home games were played at the original Yankee Stadium from 1923 to 1973 and from 1976 to 2008 . In 1974 and 1975 , the Yankees shared Shea Stadium with the Mets , in addition to the New York Jets , and New York Giants . In 2009 , they moved into a new ballpark of the same name after the previous facility was closed and demolished . The team is perennially among the leaders in MLB attendance ; in 2011 , the Yankees had the second - highest attendance . As one of the most successful sports clubs in the world , the Yankees have won 18 division titles , 40 AL pennants , and 27 World Series championships , all of which are MLB records . The Yankees have won more titles than any other franchise in the four major North American sports leagues . Forty - four Yankees players and eleven Yankees managers have been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame , including Babe Ruth , Lou Gehrig , Joe DiMaggio , Mickey Mantle , Yogi Berra , and Whitey Ford . In pursuit of winning championships , the franchise has used a large payroll to attract talent , particularly during the Steinbrenner era . According to Forbes , the Yankees are the second highest valued sports franchise in the United States and the second in the world , with an estimated value of approximately $3.7 billion . The Yankees have garnered enormous popularity and a dedicated fanbase , as well as widespread enmity from fans of other MLB teams . The team 's rivalry with the Boston Red Sox is one of the most well - known rivalries in U.S. sports .

( December 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : History of the New York Yankees Origins in Baltimore ( 1901 -- 1902 ) At the end of 1900 , Ban Johnson , president of the American League -- a minor league previously known as the Western League ( 1894 -- 1899 ) -- reorganized the league . He added teams in three East Coast cities , forming the American League ( AL ) as a major league in an attempt to challenge the National League ( NL ) for supremacy . Plans to add another a team in New York City were blocked by the NL 's New York Giants , who had enough political power in New York City to prevent the AL from establishing a team . Instead , a team was placed in Baltimore , Maryland , a city which the NL abandoned when it contracted from 12 to 8 teams in 1900 . Nicknamed the Orioles , the team began playing in 1901 and was managed and partly owned by John McGraw . During the 1902 season , McGraw feuded with Johnson and secretly jumped to the Giants . In the middle of the season , the Giants , aided and abetted by McGraw , gained controlling interest of the Orioles and began raiding it for players , until the AL stepped in and took control of the team . In January 1903 , a `` peace conference '' was held between the two leagues to settle disputes and try to coexist . At the conference , Johnson requested that an AL team be put in New York , to play alongside the NL 's Giants . It was put to a vote , and 15 of the 16 major league owners agreed on it , with only John T. Brush of the Giants opposing . The Orioles ' new owners , Frank J. Farrell and William S. Devery , found a ballpark location not blocked by the Giants , and Baltimore 's team moved to New York . Move to New York : the Highlanders years ( 1903 -- 1912 ) Hilltop Park , home of the Highlanders The team 's new ballpark , Hilltop Park ( formally known as `` American League Park '' ) , was constructed in one of Upper Manhattan 's highest points -- between 165th and 168th Streets -- just a few blocks away from the much larger Polo Grounds . The team came to be known as the New York Highlanders . The name was inspired by a combination of the team 's elevated location in Upper Manhattan , and to the noted Scottish military unit The Gordon Highlanders , which coincided with the team 's president Joseph Gordon whose family was of Scots Irish heritage . Newspapers initially called the team `` Gordon 's Highlanders '' ( e.g. New York World , April 15 , 1903 ) , which soon became just `` Highlanders '' . As was common with all members of the American League , the team was often called the New York Americans . They were also dubbed the `` Invaders '' for a short time in 1903 . New York Press Sports Editor Jim Price coined the unofficial nickname Yankees ( or `` Yanks '' ) for the club as early as 1904 , because it was easier to fit in headlines and because `` Yankee '' was and is a commonly - used synonym for `` American '' . A prophetic letter to the editor of the New York Sun , May 7 , 1903 , p. 8 , had raised this question : `` Name for the American New Yorks . If the new baseball team is to have a name that is in keeping with the ' Giants , ' does it not seem reasonable that if they are the ' New York Americans ' they might be called the ' Yankees ' or ' Yanks ' ? '' The most success the Highlanders achieved was finishing second in 1904 , 1906 and 1910 , 1904 being the closest they came to winning the AL pennant . That year , they lost the deciding game on the last day of the season to the Boston Americans , who later became the Boston Red Sox . This had much historical significance , as the Highlanders ' role in the pennant race caused the Giants to announce that they would not play in the World Series against the AL pennant winner . The World Series was not skipped again for another 90 years , when a strike truncated the entire 1994 season . It was the last time Boston would beat New York in a pennant - deciding game for a full century ( 2004 ) . In 1904 , pitcher Jack Chesbro set the single - season wins record at 41 , which still stands . Under current playing practices , this is most likely an unbreakable record , when you consider that the last thirty game winner was Denny McLain ( 31 ) in 1968 . New owners , a New home , and a New name : years at the Polo Grounds ( 1913 -- 1922 ) The Polo Grounds , home of the Yankees from 1913 to 1922 The original Polo Grounds burned down in 1911 and the Highlanders allowed the Giants to play in Hilltop Park during reconstruction . Relations between the two teams warmed , and the Highlanders would move into the newly rebuilt Polo Grounds in 1913 . Now playing on the Harlem River , a far cry from their high - altitude home , the name `` Highlanders '' no longer applied , and fell into disuse among the press . The media had already widely adopted the `` Yankees '' nickname coined by the New York Press , and in 1913 the team became officially known as the New York Yankees . By the middle of the decade , Yankees owners Farrell and Devery had become estranged and both were in dire need of money . At the start of 1915 , they sold the team to Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Captain Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston for $1.25 million . Ruppert inherited a brewery fortune , providing the Yankees with an owner who possessed deep pockets and a willingness to dig into them to produce a winning team . This would lead the team to more success and prestige than Ruppert could ever have envisioned . It is interesting to note that all the games of the 1921 and 1922 World Series were played in the Polo Grounds , when the Yankees squared off against their intracity rival Giants . Sluggers and the Stadium : Ruth , Gehrig , and murderer 's row ( 1923 -- 1935 ) With his hitting prowess , Babe Ruth ushered in an offensive - oriented era of baseball and helped lead the Yankees to four World Series titles . In the years around 1920 , the Yankees , the Red Sox , and the Chicago White Sox had a détente . The trades between the three ballclubs antagonized Ban Johnson and garnered the teams the nickname `` The Insurrectos '' . This détente paid off well for the Yankees as they increased their payroll . Most new players who would later contribute to the team 's success came from the Red Sox , whose owner , Harry Frazee , was trading them for large sums of money to finance his theatrical productions . Pitcher - turned - outfielder Babe Ruth was the most talented of all the acquisitions from Boston , and the outcome of the trade would haunt the Red Sox for the next 86 years , a span in which the team did not win a single World Series championship . The Red Sox often found themselves eliminated from the playoff hunt as a result of the Yankees ' success . This phenomenon eventually became known as the Curse of the Bambino as the failure of the Red Sox and the success of the Yankees seemed almost supernatural , and seemed to stem from that one trade . However , it would not be until 1990 when Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe wrote a book with the same title that the curse was publicized . Ruth 's multitude of home runs proved so popular that the Yankees began drawing more people than their National League counterpart , the Giants . In 1921 -- the year after acquiring Babe Ruth -- the Yankees played in their first World Series . They competed against the Giants , and all eight games of the series were played in the Polo Grounds . After the 1922 season , the Yankees were told to move out of the Polo Grounds . Giants manager John McGraw was said to have commented that the Yankees should `` move to some out - of - the - way place , like Queens '' , but they instead broke ground for a new ballpark in the Bronx , right across the Harlem River from the Polo Grounds . In 1922 , the Yankees returned to the World Series again , and were dealt a second defeat at the hands of the Giants . Important newcomers in this period were manager Miller Huggins and general manager Ed Barrow . The hiring of Huggins by Ruppert in 1918 would cause a rift between the owners that eventually led to Ruppert buying Huston out in 1923 . Lou Gehrig was the first Yankees player to have his number retired , in 1939 . In 1923 , the Yankees moved to their new home , Yankee Stadium . It was the first triple - deck venue in baseball and seated an astounding 58,000 people . In the first game at Yankee Stadium , Babe Ruth hit a home run , which was fitting as his home runs and drawing power paid for the stadium , giving it its nickname of `` The House That Ruth Built '' . At the end of the season , the Yankees faced the Giants in the World Series for the third straight year , and triumphed in the brand new ballpark for their first championship . Prior to that point , the Giants had been the city 's icon and dominant team . From 1923 onward , the Yankees would assume that role , and many years later the Giants would leave Coogan 's Bluff for San Francisco . In the 1927 season , the Yankees featured a lineup that became known as `` Murderers ' Row '' , and some consider this team to be the best in the history of baseball ( though similar claims have been made for other Yankee squads , notably those of 1939 , 1961 and 1998 ) . The Yankees won a then - AL record 110 games with only 44 losses , and swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series . Ruth 's home run total of 60 in 1927 set a single - season home run record that would stand until it was broken by Roger Maris in 1961 . Meanwhile , first baseman Lou Gehrig had his first big season , batting . 373 with 47 home runs and 175 RBIs , beating Ruth 's single - season RBI mark ( 171 in 1921 ) . The Yankees would win the World Series again in 1928 . In 1931 , Joe McCarthy was hired as manager and brought the Yankees back to the top of the AL . They swept the Chicago Cubs in the 1932 World Series , and brought the team 's streak of consecutive World Series game wins to 12 . This series was made famous by Babe Ruth 's `` Called Shot '' in game three of the series at Wrigley Field , a fitting `` swan song '' to his illustrious World Series career . In 1935 , Ruth would leave the Yankees to join the NL 's Boston Braves , and he made his last major league baseball appearance on May 30 of that year . Joltin ' Joe DiMaggio ( 1936 -- 1951 ) In 1941 , Joe DiMaggio set an MLB record with a 56 - game hitting streak that stands to this day and will probably never be broken . With Ruth retired , Gehrig finally had a chance to take center stage , but it was only one year before a new star appeared , Joe DiMaggio . The team would win an unprecedented four straight World Series titles from 1936 to 1939 . For most of 1939 , however , they had to do it without Gehrig , who took himself out of the lineup and retired due to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ( ALS ) , now nicknamed `` Lou Gehrig 's Disease '' in his memory . The Yankees declared July 4 , 1939 to be `` Lou Gehrig Day '' , on which they retired his number 4 ( the first retired number in baseball ) . Gehrig made a famous speech in which he declared himself to be `` the luckiest man on the face of the earth . '' He died two years later . The 1941 baseball season was often described as the last year of the `` Golden Era '' before World War II and other realities intervened . It was a thrilling year as America watched two major events unfold : Ted Williams of the Red Sox hitting for the elusive . 400 batting average and Joe DiMaggio getting hits in consecutive ballgames . By the end of his hitting streak , DiMaggio hit in 56 consecutive games , the current major league record and one often deemed unbreakable . Two months after the Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1941 World Series -- the first of seven October meetings between the two crosstown rivals before the Dodgers ultimately moved to California -- the United States was attacked at Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan , and many of their best players , including DiMaggio , were drafted into the military to fight in World War II . The Yankees still managed to pull out a win against the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1943 World Series . In 1945 construction magnate Del Webb and partners Dan Topping and Larry MacPhail purchased the team from the Ruppert estate for $2.8 million ; MacPhail was bought out in 1947 . After a few slumping seasons , McCarthy was fired early in 1946 . A few interim managers later , Bucky Harris took the job , righting the ship and taking the Yankees to a hard fought series victory against the Dodgers . Despite finishing only three games behind the Cleveland Indians in the 1948 pennant race , Harris was relieved of his duties and replaced by Casey Stengel , who had a reputation of being a clown and managing bad teams . His tenure as Yankee field manager , however , was marked with success . The `` underdog '' Yankees came from behind to catch and surprise a powerful Red Sox team on the last two days of the 1949 season , a face off that fueled the beginning of the modern Yankees -- Red Sox rivalry . By this time , however , DiMaggio 's career was winding down , and the `` Yankee Clipper '' retired after the 1951 season . This year marked the arrival of the `` Oklahoma Kid '' , Mickey Mantle , who was one of several new stars that would fill the gap . Stengel 's squad in the 1950s ( 1951 -- 1959 ) Opening Day of the 1951 baseball season at Griffith Stadium . President Harry Truman throws out the first ball as Casey Stengel looks on . Bettering the clubs managed by Joe McCarthy , the Yankees won the World Series five consecutive times from 1949 -- 1953 under Stengel , which continues to be the major league record . Led by players like center fielder Mickey Mantle , pitcher Whitey Ford , and catcher Yogi Berra , Stengel 's teams won ten pennants and seven World Series titles in his twelve seasons as the Yankees manager . Stengel was a master at publicity for the team and for himself , even landing a cover story in Time magazine in 1955 . The 1950 title was the only one of those five championships not to be won against either the New York Giants or Brooklyn Dodgers ; it was won in four straight games against the Whiz Kids of the Philadelphia Phillies . In 1954 , the Yankees won over 100 games , but the Indians took the pennant with an AL record 111 wins ; 1954 was famously referred to as The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant . In 1955 , the Dodgers finally beat the Yankees in the World Series , after five previous Series losses to them , but the Yankees came back strong the next year . On October 8 , 1956 , in Game Five of the 1956 World Series against the Dodgers , pitcher Don Larsen threw the only perfect game in World Series history , which remains the only perfect game in postseason play and was the only no - hitter of any kind to be pitched in postseason play until Roy Halladay pitched a no - hitter on October 6 , 2010 . The Yankees lost the 1957 World Series to the Milwaukee Braves when Lew Burdette incredibly won three games for the Braves . Following the Series , the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers both left for California , the former leaving for San Francisco and the latter moving to Los Angeles , leaving the Yankees as New York 's only baseball team . In the 1958 World Series , the Yankees got their revenge against the Braves , and became the second team to win the Series after being down three - games - to - one . For the decade , the Yankees won six World Series championships ( ' 50 , 51 , ' 52 , ' 53 , ' 56 , ' 58 ) and eight American League pennants ( those six plus ' 55 and ' 57 ) . Led by Mantle , Ford , Berra , Elston Howard ( the Yankees ' first African - American player ) , and the newly acquired Roger Maris , the Yankees entered the 1960s seeking to replicate their success of the 1950s . The M&M Boys : Mantle and Maris ( 1960 -- 1964 ) Mickey Mantle was one of the franchise 's most celebrated hitters , highlighted by his 1956 Triple Crown . Arnold Johnson , owner of the Kansas City Athletics , was a longtime business associate of then - Yankees co-owners Del Webb and Dan Topping . Because of this `` special relationship '' with the Yankees , he traded young players to them in exchange for cash and aging veterans . Invariably , these trades ended up being heavily tilted in the Yankees ' favor , leading to accusations that the Athletics were little more than a Yankee farm team at the major league level . Kansas City had been home to the Yankees ' top farm team for almost 20 years before the Athletics moved there from Philadelphia in 1954 . In 1960 , Charles O. Finley purchased the Athletics and put an end to the trades . But the Yankees had already strengthened their supply of future prospects , which included a young outfielder named Roger Maris . In 1960 , Maris led the league in slugging percentage , RBIs , and extra base hits . He finished second in home runs ( one behind Mantle ) and total bases , and won a Gold Glove , which garnered enough votes for the American League MVP award . The year 1961 would prove to be one of the most memorable in Yankee history . Throughout the summer , Mantle and Maris hit home runs at a fast pace , and became known as the `` M&M Boys '' . Ultimately , a severe hip infection forced Mantle to leave the lineup and drop out of the race . Maris continued though , and on October 1 ( the last day of the regular season ) , he hit home run number 61 , surpassing Babe Ruth 's single season home run record of 60 . However , MLB Commissioner Ford Frick ( who , as it was discovered later , had ghostwritten for Babe Ruth during his career ) decreed that since Maris had played in a 162 - game season , and Ruth ( in 1927 ) had played in a 154 - game season , two separate records would be kept . It would be 30 years before the dual record would be done away with , and Maris would hold the record alone until Mark McGwire broke it in 1998 . Maris still holds the American League record . The Yankees won the pennant with a 109 -- 53 record and went on to defeat the Cincinnati Reds in the 1961 World Series . The team finished the year with a then - record 240 home runs . After the 1957 departures of the Dodgers and Giants for the West Coast , New York City was a one - team town for the first time since professional play began . In 1962 , the sports scene in New York changed when the National League expanded to include a new expansion team , the New York Mets , who played at the Giants ' former home , the Polo Grounds , for two seasons while Shea Stadium was under construction in nearby Flushing , Queens . The Mets lost a record 120 games while the Yankees would win the 1962 World Series , their tenth in the past sixteen years , defeating the San Francisco Giants in seven games . It would be the Yankees ' last championship until 1977 . The Yankees reached the 1963 World Series , but were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers and their ace pitcher Sandy Koufax . After the season , Yogi Berra , who had just retired from playing , took over managerial duties . The aging Yankees returned the next year for a fifth straight World Series , but were beaten in seven games by the St. Louis Cardinals . It would be the Yankees ' last World Series appearance until 1976 , when they were swept by the Big Red Machine . New ownership and a steep decline ( 1965 -- 1972 ) After the 1964 season , CBS purchased 80 % of the Yankees from Topping and Webb for $11.2 million . With the new ownership , the team began to decline . In fact , the Yankees finished in the second division in 1965 -- their first losing record in 40 years , and only their second in 47 years . In 1966 , the Yankees finished last in the AL for the first time since 1912 . It also marked their first consecutive losing seasons since 1917 and 1918 . They finished next - to - last in 1967 . While their fortunes improved somewhat in the late 1960s and early 1970s , they only finished higher than fourth once during CBS ' ownership , in 1970 . Topping and Webb had owned the Yankees for 20 years , missing the World Series only five times and going 10 -- 5 in the ones they did get to . By contrast , the CBS - owned teams never went to the World Series . Various reasons have been given for the decline , but the single biggest one was the Yankees ' inability to replace their aging superstars with promising young talent , as they had consistently done in the previous five decades . As early as the 1961 - 62 off - season , longtime fans noticed that the pipeline of talent had started to dry up . This was worsened by the introduction of the major league amateur draft that year , which meant that the Yankees could no longer sign any player they wanted . While the Yankees usually drafted fairly early during this period due to their lackluster records , Thurman Munson was the only pick who lived up to his billing . At the start of this period , all - time `` Voice of the Yankees '' Mel Allen , the team 's top announcer since 1939 , was fired after the 1964 season , supposedly due to cost - cutting measures by longtime broadcast sponsor Ballantine Beer . During baseball 's centennial season in 1969 , the greatest players at each position for every team were named during a voting . The all - time Yankees were : Bill Dickey ( catcher ) , Whitey Ford ( left - handed pitcher ) , Red Ruffing ( right - handed pitcher ) , Johnny Murphy ( relief pitcher ) , Lou Gehrig ( first base ) , Tony Lazzeri ( second base ) , Phil Rizzuto ( shortstop ) , Red Rolfe ( third base ) , Joe DiMaggio ( center field , also named baseball 's `` Greatest Living Player '' ) , Babe Ruth ( right field ) , Mickey Mantle ( left field ) , and Casey Stengel ( manager ) . Steinbrenner , Martin , Jackson , and Munson : the Bronx Zoo ( 1973 -- 1981 ) A group of investors , led by Cleveland - based shipbuilder George Steinbrenner ( 1930 -- 2010 ) , purchased the club from CBS on January 3 , 1973 for $8.7 million . Mike Burke stayed on as president until he quit in April . Within a year , Steinbrenner bought out most of his other partners and became the team 's principal owner , although Burke continued to hold a minority share into the 1980s . One of Steinbrenner 's major goals was to renovate the Stadium . It had greatly deteriorated by the late 1960s , and the surrounding neighborhood had gone south as well . CBS initially suggested renovations , but the team would have needed to play elsewhere , and the Mets refused to open their home , Shea Stadium , to the Yankees . A new stadium in the Meadowlands , across the Hudson River in New Jersey , was suggested ( and was eventually built , as Giants Stadium , specifically for football ) . Finally , in mid-1972 , Mayor John Lindsay stepped in . The city bought the stadium and began an extensive two - year renovation period . Since the city owned Shea , the Mets had to allow the Yankees to play two seasons there . The renovations modernized the look of the stadium , significantly altered the dimensions , and reconfigured some of the seating . During 1974 and 1975 , Yankee Stadium was renovated into its final shape and structure , as shown here in 2002 , seven years before demolition . After the 1974 season , Steinbrenner made a move that started the modern era of free agency , signing star pitcher Catfish Hunter away from Oakland . Midway through the 1975 season , Steinbrenner made another move , hiring former second baseman Billy Martin as manager . With Martin at the helm , the Yankees reached the 1976 World Series , but were swept by the Cincinnati Reds and their famed `` Big Red Machine . '' After the 1976 campaign , Steinbrenner added star Oakland outfielder Reggie Jackson -- who had spent 1976 with the Baltimore Orioles -- to his roster . During spring training of 1977 , Jackson alienated his teammates with controversial remarks about the Yankees captain , catcher Thurman Munson . He had bad blood with manager Billy Martin , who had managed the Detroit Tigers when Jackson 's Athletics defeated them in the 1972 playoffs . Jackson , Martin , and Steinbrenner repeatedly feuded with each other throughout Jackson 's 5 - year contract . Martin would be hired and fired by Steinbrenner five times over the next 13 years . This conflict , combined with the extremely rowdy Yankees fans of the late 1970s and the bad conditions of the Bronx , led to the Yankee organization and stadium being referred to as the `` Bronx Zoo . '' Despite the turmoil , Jackson starred in the 1977 World Series , when he hit three home runs in the same game , and overall , four home runs on four consecutive pitches from four different pitchers . Jackson 's great performance in the postseason earned him the Series MVP Award , and the nickname `` Mr. October . '' Throughout the late 1970s , the race for the pennant was often a close competition between the Yankees and the Red Sox . In the 1950s and early 1960s , the Yankees had been dominant while the Red Sox were largely a non-factor . However , in the late 1960s and early 1970s , the Yankees were mired in second place and the Red Sox led the league . In the late 1970s the two teams were contending simultaneously and locked in a close fight . On July 14 , 1978 , the Yankees were 14 ⁄ games behind the Red Sox . In late July , Martin suspended Reggie Jackson for `` defiance '' after he bunted while Martin had the `` swing '' signal on . Upon Jackson 's return , Martin made a famous statement against both Jackson and owner Steinbrenner : `` They deserve each other . One 's a born liar ; the other 's convicted . '' Martin was forced to resign the next day and was replaced by Bob Lemon . This came while the team was winning five games in a row and Boston was losing five in a row . The Yankees continued to win games , making up ground and by the time they met Boston for a pivotal four - game series at Fenway Park in early September , they were only four games behind the Red Sox . The Yankees swept the Red Sox in what became known as the `` Boston Massacre '' , winning the games 15 -- 3 , 13 -- 2 , 7 -- 0 , and 7 -- 4 . The third game was a shutout pitched by `` Louisiana Lightning '' Ron Guidry , who would lead the majors with nine shutouts , a 25 -- 3 record , and a 1.74 ERA . Guidry finished with 248 strikeouts , but Nolan Ryan 's 260 strikeouts with the California Angels deprived Guidry of the pitching Triple Crown . On the last day of the season , the two clubs finished in a tie for first place in the AL East , and a one - game playoff ( the 163rd game of the regular season ) was held at Fenway Park . With Guidry pitching against former Yankee Mike Torrez , the Red Sox took an early 2 -- 0 lead . In the seventh inning , light - hitting Yankee shortstop Bucky Dent drove a three - run home run over the `` Green Monster '' ( Fenway Park 's famed left field wall ) , putting the Yankees up 3 -- 2 . Reggie Jackson 's solo home run in the following inning sealed the eventual 5 -- 4 win that gave the Yankees their one hundredth win of the season and their third straight AL East title and Guidry earned his 25th win of the season . After beating the Kansas City Royals for the third consecutive year in the ALCS , the Yankees faced the Dodgers again in the World Series . They lost the first two games in LA , but won all three games at Yankee Stadium and won Game 6 in Los Angeles , winning their 22nd World Championship . Changes occurred during the 1979 season . Former Cy Young Award - winning closer Sparky Lyle was traded to the Texas Rangers for several players , including Dave Righetti . Tommy John was acquired from the Dodgers and Luis Tiant from the hated Red Sox to bolster the pitching staff . During the season , Bob Lemon was replaced by Billy Martin . The mask and catcher 's mitt of Thurman Munson , the team captain who was killed in a plane crash in 1979 The 1970s ended on a tragic note for the Yankees . On August 2 , 1979 , Thurman Munson died after crashing his private plane while practicing `` Touch and Go '' landings . Four days later , the entire team flew out to Canton , Ohio for the funeral , despite having a game later that day against the Orioles . Martin adamantly stated that the funeral was more important , and that he did not care if they made it back in time . Bobby Murcer , a close friend of Munson 's , was chosen to give the eulogy at his funeral . In a nationally televised and emotional game , Murcer used Munson 's bat ( which he gave to his fallen friend 's wife after the game ) , and drove in all five of the team 's runs in a dramatic 5 -- 4 walk - off victory . Before the game , Munson 's locker sat empty except for his catching gear , a sad reminder for his teammates . His locker , labeled with his number 15 , has remained empty in the Yankee clubhouse as a memorial . When the Yankees moved across the street , Munson 's locker was torn out and installed in the new Stadium 's museum . The number 15 has been retired by the team . The 1980 season brought more changes to the Yankees . Billy Martin was fired once again and Dick Howser took his place . Chris Chambliss was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for catcher Rick Cerone . Thanks to Howser 's no - nonsense attitude , Reggie Jackson hit . 300 for the only time in his career with 41 homers , and finished 2nd in the MVP voting to Kansas City 's George Brett . The Yankees won 103 games and the AL East by three games over the 100 - win Baltimore Orioles , but were swept by the Royals in the 1980 ALCS . After the season ended , the Yankees signed Dave Winfield to a 10 - year contract . The Yankees fired Howser and replaced him with Gene Michael . Under Michael , the Yankees led the AL East before a strike hit in June 1981 . In the second half of the season , the Yankees struggled under Bob Lemon , who replaced Michael . Thanks to the split - season playoff format , the Yankees faced the second - half winner Milwaukee Brewers in the special 1981 American League Division Series . After narrowly defeating Milwaukee in five games , they breezed through Billy Martin and the Oakland Athletics in a three - game ALCS . In the World Series , the Yankees got off to a hot start by winning the first two games against the Los Angeles Dodgers . But the Dodgers fought back and stunned the Yankees by winning the next four games to clinch their first World Series title since 1965 . Struggles : the Mattingly years ( 1982 -- 1995 ) Don Mattingly headlined a Yankees franchise that struggled in the 1980s . Following the team 's loss to the Dodgers in the 1981 World Series , the Yankees began their longest absence from the playoffs since 1921 . Following the example set by the St. Louis Cardinals and the Big Red Machine that had defeated his team in the 1976 World Series , George Steinbrenner announced his plan to transform the Yankees from the Bronx Bombers into the `` Bronx Burners '' , increasing the Yankees ' ability to win games based on speed and defense instead of `` waiting around for a 3 run home run '' . As a first step towards this end , the Yankees signed Dave Collins from the Cincinnati Reds during the 1981 off - season . Collins was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays after the 1982 season in a deal that also included future All - Stars Fred McGriff and Mike Morgan . In return the Yankees got Dale Murray and Tom Dodd . The Yankees of the 1980s were led by All - Star first baseman Don Mattingly . In spite of accumulating the most total wins of any major league team , they failed to win a World Series ( the first such Yankees team since the 1910s ) and had only 1 playoff appearance . Although they consistently had a powerful offense -- Mattingly at various times was teammate to Dave Winfield ( whom Mattingly battled for the AL batting title throughout most of the 1984 season ) , Rickey Henderson , Don Baylor , Ken Griffey , Sr. , Mike Pagliarulo , Steve Sax , and Jesse Barfield , and the Yankees led the majors in runs scored for the decade -- the Yankees teams of the 1980s lacked sufficient starting pitching to win a championship . After posting a 22 -- 6 record in 1985 , arm problems caught up with Ron Guidry , and his performance declined over the next three years . Of the remaining mainstays of the Yankees ' rotation , only Dave Righetti stood out , pitching a no - hitter on July 4 , 1983 , but he was moved to the bullpen the next year where he helped to define the closer role . Despite the Yankees ' lack of pitching success during the 1980s , they had three of the premier pitchers of the early 1990s on their roster during these years in Al Leiter , Doug Drabek and José Rijo . All were mismanaged and dealt away before they could reach their full potential , with only Rijo returning much value -- he was traded to the Oakland A 's in the deal that brought Henderson to New York . The team came close to winning the AL East in 1985 and 1986 , finishing second to the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox ( who lost in the World Series that year to the Yankees ' cross-town rivals , the New York Mets ) respectively , but fell to fourth place in 1987 and fifth in 1988 , despite having mid-season leads in the AL East standings both years . Despite their lack of championships and playoff appearances the Yankees posted the highest winning percentage of all MLB teams during the 1980s . By the end of the decade , the Yankees ' offense was on the decline . Henderson and Pagliarulo had departed by the middle of 1989 , while back problems hampered both Winfield ( who missed the entire ' 89 season ) and Mattingly ( who missed almost the entire second half of 1990 ) . Winfield 's tenure with the team ended when he was dealt to the Angels . From 1989 to 1992 , the team had a losing record , spending significant money on free - agents and draft picks who did not live up to expectations . In 1990 , the Yankees had the worst record in the American League , and their fourth last - place finish in franchise history . On July 1 , 1990 , pitcher Andy Hawkins became the first Yankee ever to lose despite throwing a no - hitter . Third baseman Mike Blowers committed an error , followed by two walks and an error by the left fielder Jim Leyritz with the bases loaded , scoring all three runners and the batter . The 4 -- 0 loss to the Chicago White Sox was the largest margin of any no - hitter loss in the 20th century . Ironically , the Yankees ( and Hawkins ) were no - hit for six innings in a rain - shortened game against the White Sox 11 days later . During the 1990 season , Yankee fans started to chant `` 1918 ! '' to taunt the Red Sox , reminding them of the last time they won a World Series one weekend the Red Sox were there in 1990 . Each time the Red Sox were at Yankee Stadium afterward , demeaning chants of `` 1918 ! '' echoed through the stadium . Yankee fans also taunted the Red Sox with signs saying `` CURSE OF THE BAMBINO '' , pictures of Babe Ruth , and wearing `` 1918 ! '' T - shirts each time they were at the stadium . The poor showings in the 1980s and 1990s would soon change . Steinbrenner hired Howard Spira to uncover damaging information on Winfield and was subsequently suspended from day - to - day team operations by Commissioner Fay Vincent when the plot was revealed . This turn of events allowed management to implement a coherent acquisition / development program without owner interference . General Manager Gene Michael , along with manager Buck Showalter , shifted the club 's emphasis from high - priced acquisitions to developing talent through the farm system . This new philosophy developed key players such as outfielder Bernie Williams , shortstop Derek Jeter , catcher Jorge Posada , and pitchers Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera . The first significant success came in 1994 , when the Yankees had the best record in the AL , but the strike ended the season and Mattingly 's best chance for a World Series title and is remembered among the 10 worst moments in New York City sports history . Because the Yankees were last in a postseason in a season cut short by a strike , the news media constantly reminded the Yankees about the parallels between the two Yankee teams ( 1981 and 1994 ) , which included both Yankee teams having division leads taken away by strike . Throughout October , the media continued to speculate about what might have been if there had not been a strike , making references to the days games in the post-season would have been played . A year later , the team qualified for the playoffs in the new wild card slot in the strike shortened 1995 season . In the memorable 1995 American League Division Series against the Seattle Mariners , the Yankees won the first two games at home and dropped the next three in Seattle . Mattingly , suffering greatly from his back injury , retired after the 1995 season . He had the unfortunate distinction of beginning and ending his career on years bookended by Yankee World Series appearances ( 1981 and 1996 ) . New dynasty ( 1996 -- 2007 ) The Yankees ' success in the late 1990s and early 2000s was built from a core of productive players , including Jorge Posada , Mariano Rivera , and Derek Jeter . Joe Torre had a mediocre run as a manager in the National League , and the choice was initially derided ( `` Clueless Joe '' was a headline in the New York Daily News ) . However , his calm demeanor proved to be a good fit , and his tenure was the longest under George Steinbrenner 's ownership . The 1996 season saw the rise of three Yankees who would form the core of the team for years to come : rookie shortstop Derek Jeter , second - year starting pitcher Andy Pettitte , and second - year pitcher Mariano Rivera , who served as setup man in 1996 before becoming closer in 1997 . Aided by these young players , the Yankees won their first AL East title in 15 years in 1996 . They defeated the Texas Rangers in the ALDS , and in the ALCS beat the Baltimore Orioles in five games , which included a notable fan interference by young Jeffrey Maier that was called as a home run for the Yankees . In the World Series the team rebounded from an 0 -- 2 series deficit and defeated the defending champion Atlanta Braves , ending an 18 - year championship drought . Jeter was named Rookie of the Year . In 1997 , the Yankees lost the 1997 ALDS to the Cleveland Indians in five games . General manager Bob Watson stepped down and was replaced by assistant general manager Brian Cashman . The 1998 Yankees are widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest teams in baseball history , compiling a then - AL record 114 regular season wins against just 48 losses and then sweeping the San Diego Padres in the 1998 World Series . Their 125 combined regular and postseason wins is an MLB single - season record . On May 17 , 1998 , David Wells pitched a perfect game against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium . On July 18 , 1999 , which was `` Yogi Berra Day '' at the stadium , David Cone pitched a perfect game against the Montreal Expos , with both Berra and Don Larsen , the pitching battery for Larsen 's World Series perfect game on October 8 , 1956 , against the Brooklyn Dodgers , in attendance . The ALCS was the Yankees ' first meeting with the Red Sox in a post-season series . The Yankees would go on to win the 1999 World Series giving the 1998 -- 1999 Yankees a 22 -- 3 record ( including four series sweeps ) in six consecutive post-season series . In 2000 , the Yankees faced the New York Mets in the first Subway Series World Series since 1956 . The Yankees won the series in 5 games , but a loss in Game 3 snapped their streak of World Series wins at 14 , surpassing the club 's previous record of 12 ( in 1927 , 1928 , and 1932 ) . The Yankees are the last major league team to repeat as World Series champions and after the 2000 season they joined the Yankee teams of 1936 -- 1939 and 1949 -- 1953 , as well as the 1972 -- 1974 Oakland Athletics as the only teams to win at least three consecutive World Series . The Yankees dynasty of the 1990s was also part the Braves -- Mets rivalry . As noted above , three of their four World Series wins happened against either team ( Braves in 1996 and 1999 , Mets in 2000 ) . Joe Torre added further fuel to the dynasty being part of the rivalry , having played for and managed both teams and he becoming manager of the Yankees and the events of the 1996 season were seen as factors in that rivalry intensifying . In aftermath of the September 11 attacks , that year , Yankees defeated the Oakland A 's in the ALDS , and the Seattle Mariners in the ALCS . By winning the pennant for a fourth straight year , the 1998 -- 2001 Yankees joined the 1921 -- 1924 New York Giants , and the Yankee teams of ' 36 -- ' 39 , ' 49 -- ' 53 , ' 55 -- ' 58 and ' 60 -- ' 64 as the only teams to win at least four straight pennants . The Yankees won 11 consecutive postseason series in this 4 - year period . In the World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks , the Yankees lost the series when closer Mariano Rivera uncharacteristically blew a save in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 7 ; it was the second time in five years that a team lost the World Series after taking a lead into the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 7 ( following the Cleveland Indians in 1997 ) and the first time since 1991 that the home team won all seven games of a World Series . The Yankees were also the first American League team to lose a World Series in which the home team won all seven games . Also , despite a very poor series overall , batting under . 200 , Derek Jeter got the nickname , `` Mr. November '' , echoing comparisons Reggie Jackson 's `` Mr. October '' , for his walk - off home run in Game 4 , though it began October 31 , as the game ended in the first minutes of November 1 . In addition , the Yankees ' home field in the aftermath of the attacks served as hosts of a memorial service titled `` Prayer for America . '' A vastly revamped Yankees team finished the 2002 season with an AL best record of 103 -- 58 . The season was highlighted by Alfonso Soriano becoming the first second baseman ever to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in a season . In the ALDS the Yankees lost to the eventual champion Anaheim Angels in four games . In 2003 , the Yankees again had the best league record ( 101 -- 61 ) , highlighted by Roger Clemens ' 300th win and 4000th strikeout . In the ALCS , they defeated the Boston Red Sox in a dramatic seven game series , which featured a bench - clearing incident in Game 3 and a series - ending walk - off home run by Aaron Boone in the bottom of the 11th inning of Game 7 . In the World Series the Yankees lost in 6 games to the Florida Marlins , losing a World Series at home for the first time since 1981 . Yankees ' third baseman Alex Rodriguez , 2007 In 2004 , the Yankees acquired Alex Rodriguez , who moved to third base from his usual shortstop position to accommodate Derek Jeter . In the ALCS , the Yankees met the Boston Red Sox again , and became the first team in professional baseball history , and only the third team in North American pro sports history , to lose a best - of - seven series after taking a 3 -- 0 series lead . In 2005 Alex Rodriguez won the American League MVP award , becoming the first Yankee to win the award since Don Mattingly in 1985 . The Yankees again won the AL East by virtue of a tiebreaker but lost the ALDS in five games to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim . The 2006 season was highlighted by a 5 - game series sweep of the Red Sox at Fenway Park ( sometimes referred to as the `` Second Boston Massacre '' ) , outscoring the Red Sox 49 -- 26 . Despite winning the AL East for the ninth consecutive year , the Yankees lost again in the ALDS , this time to the Detroit Tigers . After the ALDS was over , tragedy struck when pitcher Cory Lidle died when his plane crashed into a highrise apartment building in Manhattan . Along with Thurman Munson , Lidle was the second active Yankee to be killed in a private plane crash . On June 18 , 2007 the Yankees broke new ground by signing the first two professional baseball players from the People 's Republic of China to the MLB , and became the first team in MLB history to sign an advertising deal with a Chinese company . The Yankees ' streak of nine straight AL East division titles ended in 2007 , but they still reached the playoffs with the AL Wild Card . For the third year in a row , the team lost in the first round of the playoffs , as the Cleveland Indians defeated the Yankees in the 2007 ALDS . After the series , Joe Torre declined a reduced - length and compensation contract offer from the Yankees and returned to the National League as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers . Back on top : championship run followed by struggles ( 2008 -- 2016 ) Former Yankees catcher Joe Girardi became manager in 2008 . After Torre 's departure the Yankees signed former catcher Joe Girardi to a three - year contract to manage the club . The 2008 season was the last season played at Yankee Stadium . To celebrate the final year and history of Yankee Stadium , the 2008 Major League Baseball All - Star Game was played there on July 15 , 2008 . The final regular - season game at Yankee Stadium was played on September 21 , 2008 . After the game , Jeter addressed the crowd , thanking them for their support over the years , and urging them to `` take the memories of this field , add them to the new memories that will come at the new Yankee Stadium and continue to pass them on from generation to generation . '' Despite multiple midseason roster moves , the team was hampered by injuries and missed the playoffs for the first time in 14 seasons . The new Yankee Stadium opened in 2009 and was christened with a World Series victory . Main articles : 2009 New York Yankees season and 2009 World Series During the off - season , the Yankees retooled their roster with several star free agent acquisitions , including CC Sabathia , Mark Teixeira , and A.J. Burnett . At the beginning of the 2009 season , the Yankees opened the new Yankee Stadium , located just a block north on River Avenue from their former home . The Yankees set a major league record by playing error - free ball for 18 consecutive games from May 14 to June 1 , 2009 . The Yankees finished first in the AL East . In the ALDS they defeated the Twins in a sweep before moving on to the ALCS where the Yankees defeated Angels in six games . They defeated the defending champions , the Philadelphia Phillies , in Game 6 of the World Series 7 -- 3 , to take the series 4 -- 2 , their 27th World Series title . Main article : 2010 New York Yankees season The 2010 season featured the rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox being revived to start and end the season . The Yankees and the Red Sox started and finished the season against each other at Fenway Park . This was the first time since 1950 this had happened . In June , Joe Torre 's Dodgers played games against the Yankees for the first time since he became manager of the Dodgers , with the Yankees taking two out of three games in the series . During the 2010 All - Star break , Pennsylvania announcer Bob Sheppard and principal owner George Steinbrenner died . Eight days later , another longtime Yankee icon , former player and manager Ralph Houk , died . The Yankees won the American League Wild Card . They swept the Minnesota Twins in the 2010 American League Division Series , but lost to the Texas Rangers in the 2010 American League Championship Series 4 games to 2 . In a 22 -- 9 win over the Athletics at home on August 25 , 2011 , the Yankees became the first team in Major League history to hit three grand slams in a single game . They were hit by Robinson Canó , Russell Martin , and Curtis Granderson . The Yankees won the AL East title for the second time in three seasons , finishing with 97 wins and took home field throughout the AL postseason . However , they were defeated by the Tigers in five games in the 2011 American League Division Series . In 2012 , the Yankees again finished the season with the AL 's best record at 95 -- 67 . In mid-July the Yankees traded two prospects to the Seattle Mariners for Ichiro Suzuki . They faced the Orioles in the 2012 American League Division Series . In Game 3 , Raúl Ibañez became the oldest player to hit two home runs in a game , the oldest to hit a walk - off homer , the first substitute position player in a postseason game to hit two home runs , and the first to hit two home runs in the 9th inning or later in a postseason game , in the Yankees ' 3 -- 2 win . The Yankees would defeat the Orioles in five games . But in the 2012 American League Championship Series , the Yankees lost to the Tigers again , this time in a four - game sweep , which was compounded with a struggling offense and a season - ending injury to Derek Jeter . The 2013 season was riddled with injuries . Mark Teixeira strained his elbow during the WBC and played only 15 games in the season , Alex Rodriguez played only 44 games after a hip surgery , Derek Jeter played only 17 games due to his ankle injury from the 2012 ALCS and Curtis Granderson played only 61 games due to forearm and knuckle injuries . On April 12 , 2013 , the Yankees made their second triple play ever in a home game playing the Baltimore Orioles . It was scored as 4 -- 6 -- 5 -- 6 -- 5 -- 3 -- 4 , the first triple play of its kind in baseball history . On September 25 , 2013 , the Yankees lost to the Tampa Bay Rays , which for the second time in the wild card era , eliminated them from any playoffs . They ended the season 85 - 77 , finishing in 3rd place in the AL East . During the 2013 -- 14 off - season , the Yankees went on a large free agent spending spree , signing players such as Brian McCann , Jacoby Ellsbury , Masahiro Tanaka , and Carlos Beltrán . Despite that , the Yankees missed the playoffs for the second straight season , the first time in the post-1994 strike era , finishing 2nd in the AL East with an 84 - 78 record . Rodriguez missed the entire season due to a 162 - game suspension for his participation in the Biogenesis baseball scandal . One notable moment happened on September 25 , 2014 , when Derek Jeter -- playing his final home game -- hit a walk - off single off pitcher Evan Meek to defeat the Baltimore Orioles in front of 48,613 fans who came to see the captain for the last time . Reliever Dellin Betances finished 3rd in voting for AL Rookie of the Year , while starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka finished 5th . The 2015 season saw the Yankees make the playoffs for the first time since 2012 . In his return from suspension , Rodriguez hit 33 home runs , his most since 2008 , and tied Hank Aaron 's record of fifteen 30 - homer seasons . Teixeira hit 31 home runs before a hit - by - pitch ended his season in August . Rookie first baseman Greg Bird had an impressive showing in Teixeira 's place , hitting 11 home runs in 46 games , while rookie starting pitcher Luis Severino went 5 - 3 with a 2.89 ERA in 62.1 innings after getting called up in August . Closer Andrew Miller won the AL Reliever of the Year Award . The Yankees led the AL East for most of the year before being felled by a surging Toronto Blue Jays team , ending the season 87 - 75 and in 2nd place . They were soundly defeated by the Houston Astros , 3 -- 0 in the 2015 American League Wild Card Game , shutout for six innings by opposing starter Dallas Keuchel , earning boos from the frustrated home crowd of Yankees fans . In the off - season , the Yankees traded for Cincinnati Reds ' closer Aroldis Chapman after a domestic violence allegation lowered his value . Chapman would later be suspended 30 games . The Yankees started the 2016 season on a rough note , starting 9 - 17 . The resurgent 2015 experienced by Rodriguez and Teixeira did not carry over , as they batted . 200 and . 204 for the season , respectively . Bird was ruled out for the season after undergoing shoulder surgery . Starting pitcher Michael Pineda struggled , going 6 - 12 with a 4.82 ERA , the 7th - highest in baseball . At the trade deadline , the Yankees stood at an uninspiring 52 - 52 , persuading ownership to trade away their most valuable assets and be sellers at the deadline . New era : Baby Bombers ( 2016 -- present ) On July 25 , 2016 , the Yankees traded Aroldis Chapman to the Chicago Cubs for a group of players that included top shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres , and traded Andrew Miller to the Cleveland Indians for prospects outfielder Clint Frazier and pitcher Justus Sheffield . In addition , the Yankees traded 39 - year - old designated hitter Carlos Beltran to the Texas Rangers for minor league prospects . The Yankees ' decision to be `` sellers '' rather than `` buyers '' at the trade deadline ( trading established , veteran players for young prospects ) was unusual , given the Yankees ' typical win - now approach . In discussing the midseason trades , Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that the Yankees recognized the `` need to look toward the future . '' In early August , both Teixeira and Rodriguez revealed their plans to retire by the season 's end . Rodriguez played his final game on August 12. . In his fourth - to - last game , Teixeira hit a walk - off grand slam against the Boston Red Sox , his 409th and last career home run . The Yankees called up Tyler Austin and outfielder Aaron Judge in August . They made their debuts on August 13 , hitting back - to - back home runs in their first career at - bats . Catcher Gary Sánchez hit 20 home runs in only 53 games , finishing 2nd in AL Rookie of the Year voting and setting the record at the time as the fastest to reach 20 career home runs . Sanchez , Judge and Austin , as well as the Yankees ' prosperous farm system in general , became nicknamed the `` Baby Bombers '' . After having traded Chapman to the Cubs during the 2016 season , the Yankees signed him as a free agent during the 2016 - 17 off - season ; Chapman agreed to a five - year , $86 million contract , the most lucrative for a relief pitcher in history . In 2017 , the Yankees finished the season with a record of 91 - 71 . This was the first time the Yankees won 90 or more games in a season since 2012 . They finished second in the AL East behind the Red Sox , but captured the first AL Wild Card spot . Judge and Sánchez combined for 85 home runs . Sanchez finished with 33 , the most by a Yankees catcher in a single season . Judge led the American League with 52 home runs , breaking Mark McGwire 's major league record for most home runs by a rookie in a single season ( McGwire hit 49 in 1987 ) . The Yankees starting pitching was led by ace Luis Severino , who rebounded from his last season to lead the Yankees ' pitching staff . On July 1 , Clint Frazier made his MLB debut where he went 2 for 4 with a home run . The Yankees sent Dellin Betances , Starlin Castro , Sánchez , Severino , and Judge to the 2017 Major League Baseball All - Star Game . Judge won the 2017 Home Run Derby , making the Yankees the team with the most players to win a Home Run Derby in history . After the 2017 All - Star break , the Yankees made a series of moves to acquire third baseman Todd Frazier , former Yankee reliever David Robertson , reliever Tommy Kahnle , starter Sonny Gray , and starter Jaime Garcia . In the 2017 AL Wild Card Game at Yankee Stadium , the Yankees defeated the Minnesota Twins 8 -- 4 to move on the ALDS ; this was the Yankees ' first playoff win since 2012 . In the ALDS , the Yankees lost the first two games to the Cleveland Indians before winning the final three games and taking the series . They played the Houston Astros in the 2017 American League Championship Series and lost the series in seven games . In the 2017 off - season , the Yankees hired Aaron Boone to succeed Joe Girardi , as their new manager on December 4 , 2017 . On December 11 , 2017 , the Yankees traded Starlin Castro and prospects Jorge Guzman and Jose Devers to the Miami Marlins for reigning National League Most Valuable Player Giancarlo Stanton . A right fielder who bats right - handed , Stanton hit 59 home runs and drove in 132 runs -- both major league highs -- in 2017 ; his contract is the largest player contract in the history of professional sports in North America . On December 12 , the Yankees traded third baseman Chase Headley and right - handed pitcher Bryan Mitchell to the San Diego Padres for outfielder Jabari Blash ; following the move , Yankees GM Brian Cashman stated that the trade `` create ( d ) payroll flexibility '' . Distinctions World Series rings See also : List of New York Yankees seasons and New York Yankees award winners and league leaders The Yankees have won a record 27 World Series in 40 appearances ( which , since the first World Series in 1903 , currently amounts to an average appearance every 2.7 seasons and a championship every 4.0 seasons ) ; the St. Louis Cardinals are second with 11 World Series victories . The Yankees ' number of World Series losses , 13 , leads Major League Baseball . The St. Louis Cardinals , Brooklyn / Los Angeles Dodgers and New York / San Francisco Giants are second in total World Series appearances with eighteen apiece . Of their 18 World Series appearances , the Dodgers have faced the Yankees eleven times , going 3 -- 8 , while the Giants have faced the Yankees seven times , going 2 -- 5 . Among North American major sports , the Yankees ' success is approached only by the 24 Stanley Cup championships of the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League . The Yankees have played in the World Series against every National League pennant winner except the Houston Astros and the Colorado Rockies . Through 2017 , the Yankees have an all - time regular season winning percentage of . 569 ( a 10,175 -- 7,719 record ) , the best of any team in baseball . World Series championships The Yankees have won 27 World Series Championships . Their most recent one came in 2009 , under manager Joe Girardi , when they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games .

'' Their most prominently used nickname is `` the Bronx Bombers '' or simply `` the Bombers '' , a reference to their home and their prolific hitting . A less used nickname is `` the Pinstripes '' , in reference to the iconic feature on their home uniforms . Critics often refer to the team and the organization as `` the Evil Empire '' , a term applied to the Yankees by Boston Red Sox president Larry Lucchino in a 2002 interview with the New York Times . A term from the team 's tumultuous late 70s , `` the Bronx Zoo '' , is sometimes used by detractors , as well as the `` Damn Yankees '' , after the musical of the same name . Ironically , even many Yankees supporters refer to their team as the `` Evil Empire '' as a badge of honor and in fact enjoy having their team play `` the villain '' . Logo , uniform , and dress code Main article : Logos and uniforms of the New York Yankees Popularity Fan support `` Freddy Sez '' holding one of his signs near the bleachers entrance before a game between the Yankees and the Texas Rangers With their recurring success since the 1920s , the Yankees have since been one of the most popular teams in the world , with their fan base coming from much further than the New York metropolitan area . The Yankees typically bring an upsurge in attendance at all or most of their various road - trip venues , drawing crowds of their own fans , as well as home - town fans whose interest is heightened when the Yankees come to town . The first 1 million - fan season was in 1920 , when 1,289,422 fans attended Yankee games at the Polo Grounds . The first 2 million - fan season was in 1946 , when 2,265,512 fans attended the games at Yankee Stadium . The Yankees have beaten the league average for home attendance 83 out of the last 87 years ( only during 1990 , 1991 , 1992 and 1994 did they not accomplish this ) . In the past seven years , the Yankees have drawn over three million fans each year , with an American League record - setting 4,090,696 in 2005 , becoming only the third franchise in sports history to draw over four million in regular season attendance in their own ballpark . The Yankees were the league leaders in `` road attendance '' each year from 2001 through 2006 . One famous fan was Freddy Schuman , popularly known as `` Freddy Sez . '' For over 50 years , he came to the Yankees ' home games with a baseball cap , a Yankees ' jersey ( which on the back bears his own name ) , and a cake pan with a shamrock painted on it , which was connected to a sign inscribed with words of encouragement for the home team . Schuman died on October 17 , 2010 at the age of 85 . To avoid unwanted publicity , Yankees members use aliases when registering for hotels . The Village Voice published a list of aliases used by Yankees members , and the contents were republished on The Smoking Gun . The Bleacher Creatures A shirt worn by a number of Bleacher Creatures Main article : Bleacher Creatures The `` Bleacher Creatures '' are a notorious group of season ticket holders who occupied Section 39 in the right field bleachers at the old Yankee Stadium , and occupy Section 203 in the new one . They are known for their strict allegiance to the Yankees , and are often merciless to opposing fans who sit in the section and cheer for the road team . They enjoy taunting the opposing team 's right fielder with a series of chanting and slandering . The `` creatures '' got their nickname from New York Daily News columnist Filip `` Flip '' Bondy , who spent the 2004 season sitting in the section for research on his book about the group , Bleeding Pinstripes : A Season with the Bleacher Creatures of Yankee Stadium , published in 2005 . Global expansion and business model The Yankees baseball club is formally owned by Yankee Global Enterprises which owns the team 's regional YES sports network . While the club has claimed it is operating under annual losses in excess of $47 million this figure is attributed only to the ballclub 's finances and not to finances attributed to YES or Yankees Global Enterprises . The Yankees have become well known for a winning reputation on a global level . In 2007 , they reached an agreement with the Chinese Baseball Association to allow coaches , scouts and trainers to work in China to promote baseball and judge talent . They are trying to do the same with the Yomiuri Giants and the Hanshin Tigers in Japan . The Yankees and Yomiuri Giants currently have a close relationship and share ideas and strategies . The Yomiuri Shimbun daily newspaper has an ad on the left - field wall at Yankee Stadium , and other Japanese ads appear on the scrolling backstop advertising board . The Yankees are hoping that close ties with countries such as China and Japan will give them personal , in depth judgments of baseball talent . In 2008 , the Yankees announced a joint venture with the Dallas Cowboys that would form the basis for a partnership in running food and beverage , and other catering services to both teams ' stadiums . In 2013 , Forbes magazine ranked New York Yankees as the fourth most valuable sports team in the world , behind Real Madrid of La Liga , Manchester United of the Premier League and Barcelona of La Liga , a value of $2.3 billion . In 2017 , Forbes magazine ranked the Yankees as the most valuable MLB team at $3.7 billion , up 9 % from 2016 , with the average MLB team worth $1.54 billion . Criticism With the long - term success of the franchise and a large Yankee fanbase , many fans of other teams have come to dislike the Yankees . The organization is sometimes referred to by detractors as `` the Bronx Zoo '' ( echoing the title of Sparky Lyle 's book ) or `` the Evil Empire . '' When the Yankees are on the road , it is common for the home fans to chant `` Yankees Suck '' , and T - shirts , bumper stickers and other items have been sold with this phrase . Much of the animosity toward the team may derive from its high payroll ( which was around $200 million at the start of the 2008 season , the highest of any American sports team ) , and the free agent superstars the team attracts in the off - season . Chicago Tribune columnist Mike Royko noted , `` Hating the Yankees is as American as pizza pie , unwed mothers , and cheating on your income tax . '' Fight and Theme songs The grounds crew at Yankee Stadium dancing to `` Y.M.C.A. '' The official fight song for the Yankees is `` Here Come the Yankees '' , written in 1967 by Bob Bundin and Lou Stallman . While it is not used as often , it is still heard frequently in instrumental form , most prominently in radio broadcasts . Another song strongly linked to the team is `` New York , New York '' , which is played in the stadium after home games . The Frank Sinatra cover version is traditionally played after victories , and the Liza Minnelli original version after losses . When the Yankees take the field before the start of every game , 2 Unlimited 's `` Get Ready For This '' is played , with the fans usually clapping along . When the Yankees score a run at home , a short snippet of 2 Unlimited 's `` Workaholic '' containing the bell chime of Westminster Quarters is played . A wide selection of songs are played regularly at the stadium , many of them live on the Stadium 's Hammond organ . `` God Bless America '' has been played during the 7th inning stretch since September 11 . The version typically played is an abbreviated version of Kate Smith 's rendition . However , during many important games ( including most play - off games ) and on noteworthy days , it is sung live a Capella and includes a longer introduction . During the 5th inning , the grounds crew , while performing their duties , dance to `` Y.M.C.A. '' . `` Cotton - Eyed Joe '' , once played during the 7th inning stretch , is now played in the 8th inning . On the DiamondVision screen , a man in farmer 's garb is shown dancing in the stadium 's control room , with the words `` Cotton - Eyed Joey '' at the bottom . The organist will sometimes play the `` Zorba the Greek Theme '' , accompanied by clapping from the audience , to excite the crowd and encourage a rally . Radio and television Main article : List of New York Yankees broadcasters The Yankees Entertainment and Sports ( YES ) Network launched in 2002 , and serves as the primary home of the New York Yankees . Michael Kay is the play - by - play announcer with Ken Singleton , David Cone , Al Leiter , John Flaherty , and Paul O'Neill working as commentators as part of a three - man , or occasionally two - man , booth . Bob Lorenz hosts the pre-game show and the post-game show with Jack Curry , and Meredith Marakovits and Nancy Newman are the on - site reporters . Some games are telecast on WPIX and formerly on WWOR - TV ; those broadcasts are produced by YES . Radio broadcasts are on the Yankees Radio Network , the flagship station being WFAN 660 AM , with John Sterling as the play - by - play announcer and Suzyn Waldman providing the commentary , with Spanish - language broadcasts on WADO 1280 AM . The history of Yankee radio broadcasters is : WJZ 770 ( 1939 -- ' 40 ) , WOR 710 ( 1942 ) , WINS 1010 ( 1944 -- ' 57 ) , WMGM 1050 ( 1958 -- ' 60 ) , WCBS 880 ( 1961 -- ' 66 ) , WHN 1050 ( 1967 -- ' 70 ) , WMCA 570 ( 1971 -- ' 77 ) , WINS 1010 ( 1978 -- ' 80 ) , WABC 770 ( 1981 -- 2001 ) , WCBS 880 ( 2002 -- 2013 ) , WFAN 660 AM and WFAN - FM 101.9 ( 2014 -- present ) . Past announcers Mel Allen was the team 's lead announcer from 1948 to 1964 . Red Barber called Yankees games for thirteen seasons ( 1954 -- 1966 ) . Frank Messer , Phil Rizzuto and Bill White teamed together in the 1970s and 1980s . Rizzuto , with 40 years in the broadcast booth , is the longest serving broadcaster in the history of the club . Messer and White each worked nearly two decades for the Yankees , with White notably moving on to become president of the National League in 1989 . Bobby Murcer also called games for over twenty years , and continued with the YES Network until shortly before his death from brain cancer .

When the franchise moved across the street to the new stadium , the numbers were incorporated into Monument Park that sits place in center field between both bullpens . The 21 numbers are placed on the wall in chronological order , beginning with Lou Gehrig 's number 4 . This was retired soon after Gehrig left baseball on July 4 , 1939 , the same day he gave his famous farewell speech . His was the first number retired in Major League Baseball history . Beneath the numbers are plaques with the names of the players and a descriptive paragraph . The first four in the row of retired numbers at the old Yankee Stadium The number 42 was retired throughout Major League Baseball in honor of Jackie Robinson on April 15 , 1997 , the 50th anniversary of his breaking the color barrier . The day was declared Jackie Robinson Day , and would later be observed by all of baseball , with select players from every team wearing the number 42 . Players who wore No. 42 at the time were allowed to continue to wear it until they left the team with which they played on April 15 , 1997 ; Mariano Rivera was the last active player covered under that grandfather clause . While other teams placed the number 42 with the rest of their retired numbers , the Yankees did not do so at first . Ten years later , on April 17 , 2007 , the Yankees honored Robinson by mounting the logo of Jackie Robinson Day with a corresponding plaque alongside the rest of the retired numbers . Because the Yankees were finishing a roadtrip in Oakland on Jackie Robinson Day , the ceremony took place two days later . When the Yankees moved to the second Yankee Stadium , they replaced the Jackie Robinson Day logo with a number 42 that resembled the other retired numbers . Later on they replaced the number 42 so that it resembled the Dodger 's style , and on September 22 , 2013 a plaque was dedicated to Robinson in Monument Park . Also , the number 42 dedicated to Robinson was removed entirely and replaced with one for Mariano Rivera . In 1972 , the number 8 was retired for two players on the same day , in honor of catcher Bill Dickey and his protege , catcher Yogi Berra . Berra inherited Dickey 's number in 1948 after Dickey ended his playing career and became a coach . Billy Martin is the only Yankee to have his number retired as a player / manager combination . He wore number 1 as a player in the 1950s and as a manager in the 1970s and 1980s . The numbers 37 and 6 , retired for Casey Stengel and Joe Torre respectively , are the only numbers retired by the Yankees for someone who served solely as manager of the team . Stengel managed the Yankees to ten pennants and seven world championships between 1949 and 1960 , including a record five consecutive world championships from 1949 through 1953 . Joe Torre managed the Yankees from 1996 to 2007 , winning six pennants and four World Series championships . On May 14 , 2017 , the Yankees retired number 2 in honor of Derek Jeter . This leaves 0 , which the Yankees have never issued in their history , as the only single - digit number available for future Yankees .

For over 100 years , the Boston Red Sox and the Yankees have been intense rivals . The rivalry is often termed `` the best '' and `` greatest rivalry in all of sports . '' Games between the two teams are often broadcast on national television , schedule permitting . The rivalry is sometimes so polarizing that it is often a heated subject , like religion or politics , in the Northeastern United States . Since the inception of the wild card team and an added Division Series , the American League East rivals have squared off in the American League Championship Series three times , with the Yankees winning twice in 1999 and 2003 and the Sox winning in 2004 . In addition , the teams have twice met in the last regular - season series of a season to decide the league title , in 1904 ( when the Red Sox won ) and 1949 ( when the Yankees won ) . The teams also finished tied for first in 1978 , when the Yankees won a high - profile one - game playoff for the division title . The 1978 division race is memorable for the Red Sox having held a 14 - game lead over the Yankees more than halfway through the season . Similarly , the 2004 ALCS is notable for the Yankees leading 3 games to 0 and ultimately losing a best of seven series . The Red Sox comeback was the only time in baseball history that a team has come back from a 0 -- 3 deficit to win a postseason series . Subway Series Main articles : Subway Series , Mets -- Yankees rivalry , Dodgers -- Yankees rivalry , and Giants -- Yankees rivalry The Subway Series is a series of games played between teams based in New York City . The term 's historic usage has been in reference to World Series games played between New York teams . The Yankees have appeared in all Subway Series games as they have been the only American League team in the city , and have compiled an 11 -- 3 record in the fourteen championship Subway Series . Since 1997 , the term Subway Series has also been applied to interleague play during the regular season between the Yankees and National League New York Mets .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 3.1 Filming 4 Release 4.1 Box office 4.2 Critical response 4.3 Accolades 4.4 Home media 5 References 6 External links Plot ( edit ) Dr. James Marcus , the original founder of the Umbrella Corporation , had a daughter who was dying of premature aging . Desperate to save her , Marcus discovered the T - virus . Unfortunately , the virus had the side effect of sudden and uncontrollable mutation ; in Cape Town , South Africa , a boy dies in a cable car ascending to Table Mountain , then suddenly reanimates and kills the other passengers . Marcus tried to have the program shut down , despite protests from his colleague Dr. Alexander Isaacs to continue to use it . When he refused , Isaacs ordered Albert Wesker to kill Marcus . The Red Queen is then created using the images of Marcus 's daughter from her childhood . Some time after the events of the previous film , Alice awakens in the now - ruined White House , after being betrayed once again by Wesker . While she is searching for survivors , the Red Queen appears and tells Alice she must return to the Hive in Raccoon City within 48 hours , where the Umbrella Corporation has developed an airborne antivirus , which can kill every organism infected by the T - virus , before the remainder of humankind is wiped out . When asked why she is betraying her creators , the Red Queen says that she will explain once Alice arrives at The Hive . Alice destroys a giant mutated flying creature to escape Washington , D.C. On her way to Raccoon City , Alice is captured by Isaacs , learning the one she previously killed was just a clone , but she escapes his convoy . Alice later arrives in the now - destroyed Raccoon City and is captured by a group of survivors , consisting of Doc , Abigail , Christian , Cobalt , Razor , and Claire Redfield , who is revealed to be alive after the attack on Arcadia . After learning a group of armored vehicles and a horde of zombies is coming their way , the group prepares to make their last stand . They defeat the enemy forces , although Cobalt is killed in the process . The group later realizes that a second horde is coming in their direction . With no defenses left , Alice and the crew decide to get to the Hive entrance , located at the bottom of the nuclear bomb crater which destroyed the city . However , Wesker , having taken control of the Hive , releases mutated guard dogs , killing Christian and one of the two survivors who joined the group earlier . Upon arriving at the Hive , the Red Queen appears again to Alice and explains the reason of her betrayal . She revealed that a video was uploaded to her program which contained the recording of Umbrella 's head executives , including Isaacs , having a meeting regarding the world , formulating a plan to release the T - virus on purpose in order to cleanse the world of man - made war and disease and environmental catastrophe , save the rich and powerful with cryogenic capsules hidden in the Hive , and later rebuild the world in their image . The Red Queen , although programmed to never hurt an Umbrella employee , was also programmed to value human life , which is why she enlists Alice 's help in order to stop Isaacs . The Red Queen also warns Alice that someone in her group is a spy for Umbrella . Entering the Hive , the group encounter several traps , resulting in the death of Abigail , who is sliced by a turbine , and Razor , who is eaten by a creature called Bloodshot . After planting bombs around the Hive , Alice confronts the real Isaacs , while she and Claire are captured by Wesker and Doc , Umbrella 's spy . A cryogenic capsule opens , revealing Alicia Marcus , Umbrella 's co-leader and Marcus 's daughter ; Alice is revealed to be a clone of Alicia . Isaacs plans to eliminate Alicia and gain full control of Umbrella , but Alicia then terminates Wesker 's employment with Umbrella , which allows the Red Queen to crush his legs with a security door . Doc tries to shoot Alice , but his gun is empty -- as Alice had deduced his treachery earlier -- and he is shot dead by Claire . Encouraged by Alicia 's words , Alice and Claire fight Isaacs . Their battle results in Alice being pushed into the Laser Corridor . She dodges the lasers , and survives , then defeats Isaacs , who is eventually killed by his own clone -- the one Alice had encountered en route to the city -- which is then killed by the undead , and Alice releases the antivirus , killing all of the undead around her . The bombs planted within the Hive explode , killing everyone inside , including Alicia , all the frozen Umbrella employees , and Wesker , who was holding the dead - man 's switch given to him by Alice and who subsequently died through blood loss . Claire later wakes Alice , who survived because the antivirus killed only the T - virus within her body , not the healthy cells . The Red Queen gives Alice an upload of all of Alicia 's memories of her childhood . Alice rides a motorcycle towards Manhattan , saying that the antivirus carried only by the winds will take years to reach all corners of the globe . Until then , Alice says , her mission is not over , while at the same time glancing in a rear view mirror at flying creatures pursuing her . Undaunted , Alice continues riding into Manhattan .

According to Paul W.S. Anderson , the director , Resident Evil : The Final Chapter was fully shot with 2D cameras and post-converted to 3D by the company : Legend 3D . It 's the first time that a movie from the Resident Evil saga has a 3D post-conversion , since the last two installments were shot in 3D . Release ( edit ) Sony first scheduled the film for release on September 12 , 2014 before delaying it over two years . The film was released in Japan on December 23 , 2016 , and in North America on January 27 , 2017 , by Screen Gems . Box Office ( edit ) Resident Evil : The Final Chapter grossed $26.8 million in the United States and Canada and $285.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $312.2 million , against a production budget of $40 million . In North America , the film was released alongside A Dog 's Purpose and Gold , and was projected to gross around $13 million from 3,050 theaters in its opening weekend . It made $1 million from Thursday night previews and $5.1 million on its first day . It ended up opening to $13.9 million , the lowest debut of the franchise , and finished 4th at the box office . Despite the film was trimmed by 7 minutes , totaling only 99 minutes , likely thanks to the violence intolerant State Administration of Press , Publication , Radio , Film and Television , the film opened on February 24 , 2017 , in China across 11,000 screens , earning $30 million on its opening day . Through its opening weekend , the film made 636.9 million yuan ( $92.7 million ) . This marks the biggest Friday through Sunday debut ever for an imported film , topping such heavyweights as Transformers : Age of Extinction ( 632 million yuan ) and Captain America : Civil War ( 628 million yuan ) and the second biggest for all films , behind only Lost in Thailand . However , figures varied slightly by different outlets -- Shanghai - based cinema consulting firm Artisan Gateway had its opening weekend at $93.9 million while the film 's studio , Sony Pictures came in even higher with $94.3 million . Mainland China eventually is the movie 's best grossing foreign market , contributing $160 million in box office . Critical response ( edit ) Resident Evil : The Final Chapter received mixed reviews from critics . On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 35 % based on 88 reviews , and an average rating of 4.4 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Resident Evil : The Final Chapter may prove mind - numbingly chaotic for the unconverted , but for fans of the venerable franchise , it offers a fittingly kinetic conclusion to its violent post-apocalyptic saga '' . On Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating , the film has a score 49 out of 100 , based on 19 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a grade of `` B '' on an A+ to F scale . Alex Welch of IGN was critical of the film , giving 3 / 10 and calling it `` a pointless mess from beginning to end '' , and `` nothing more than a barrage of cliched character beats , unbearable CGI action , and headache - inducing editing '' . Glenn Kenny for The New York Times writes , `` This is , I think , the weakest picture in the franchise '' . The decision not to bring back surviving characters from the previous films - notably Jill , Leon and Ada - was a particular draw for criticism , with many voicing disappointment over a lack of closure for said characters and a sense of anti-climax following the cliff - hanger ending of the previous movie that had implied their inclusion in a follow - up . In contrast , Bill Zwecker of Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 3 stars out of 4 , saying it `` ( gets ) the storyline right off the bat '' . He adds , `` For fans of Resident Evil , I believe this final film will not disappoint , but it also will likely encourage newcomers to the saga to go back and play a bit of catch - up by watching the earlier movies '' .

295297974750927667 | Rabies vaccine | Rabies vaccine - wikipedia Rabies vaccine Jump to : navigation , search Rabies vaccine Vaccine description Target disease Rabies Type Killed / Inactivated Clinical data AHFS / Drugs.com Monograph MedlinePlus a607023 ATC code J07BG01 ( WHO ) Identifiers ChemSpider none ( what is this ? ) ( verify ) Rabies vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent rabies . There are a number of vaccines available that are both safe and effective . They can be used to prevent rabies before and for a period of time after exposure to the virus such as by a dog or bat bite . The immunity that develops is long lasting after three doses . Doses are usually given by injection into the skin or muscle . After exposure vaccination is typically used along with rabies immunoglobulin . It is recommended that those who are at high risk of exposure be vaccinated before potential exposure . Vaccines are effective in humans and other animals . Vaccinating dogs is very effective in preventing the spread of rabies to humans . Rabies vaccines may be safely used in all age groups . About 35 to 45 percent of people develop a brief period of redness and pain at the injection site . About 5 to 15 percent of people may have fever , headaches , or nausea . After exposure to rabies there is no contraindication to its use . Most vaccines do not contain thimerosal . Vaccines made from nerve tissue are used in a few countries , mainly in Asia and Latin America , but are less effective and have greater side effects . Their use is thus not recommended by the World Health Organization . The first rabies vaccine was introduced in 1885 , which was followed by an improved version in 1908 . Millions of people globally have been vaccinated and it is estimated that this saves more than 250,000 people a year . It is on the World Health Organization 's List of Essential Medicines , the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system . The wholesale cost in the developing world is between 44 and 78 USD for a course of treatment as of 2014 . In the United States a course of rabies vaccine is more than 750 USD . Contents ( hide ) 1 Medical uses 1.1 Additional doses 2 Types 3 History 4 Veterinary use 4.1 Dogs 4.2 Wild animals 5 References Medical uses ( edit ) The World Health Organization recommends vaccinating in those who are at high risk of the disease including children who live in areas where it is common . Four doses are given over a one - month period . Additional doses ( edit ) Immunity following a course of doses is typically long lasting . Additional doses are not typically needed except in those at very high risk . Following administration of a booster dose , one study found 97 % of immuno - competent individuals demonstrate protective levels of neutralizing antibodies at 10 years . Types ( edit ) The human diploid cell rabies vaccine ( H.D.C.V. ) was started in 1967 . Human diploid cell rabies vaccines are inactivated vaccines made using the attenuated Pitman - Moore L503 strain of the virus . Human diploid cell rabies vaccines have been given to more than 1.5 million people as of 2006 . In addition to these developments , newer and less expensive purified chicken embryo cell vaccine , and purified Vero cell rabies vaccine are now available . The purified Vero cell rabies vaccine uses the attenuated Wistar strain of the rabies virus , and uses the Vero cell line as its host . History ( edit ) Virtually all infections with rabies resulted in death until two French scientists , Louis Pasteur and Émile Roux , developed the first rabies vaccination in 1885 . This vaccine was first used on a human on July 6 , 1885 , on nine - year - old Joseph Meister ( 1876 -- 1940 ) , who had been mauled by a rabid dog . Their vaccine consisted of a sample of the virus harvested from infected ( and necessarily dead ) rabbits that was weakened by allowing it to dry for 5 to 10 days . Similar nerve tissue - derived vaccines are still used now in some countries , and while they are much cheaper than modern cell culture vaccines , they are not as effective . Neural tissue vaccines also carry a certain risk of neurological complications . Veterinary use ( edit ) A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject . It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia 's content policies , particularly neutral point of view . Please discuss further on the talk page . ( February 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Baits with vaccine for oral vaccination Machine for distribution of baits from airplane Pre-exposure immunization has been used on domesticated and wild populations . In many jurisdictions , domestic dogs , cats , ferrets , and rabbits are required to be vaccinated . Dogs ( edit ) Aside from vaccinating humans , another approach was also developed by vaccinating dogs to prevent the spread of the virus . In 1979 the Van Houweling Research Laboratory of the Silliman University Medical Center in Dumaguete in the Philippines , developed and produced a dog vaccine that gave a three - year immunity from rabies . The development of the vaccine resulted in the elimination of rabies in many parts of the Visayas and Mindanao Islands . The successful program in the Philippines was later used as a model by other countries , such as Ecuador and the Yucatan State of Mexico , in their fight against rabies conducted in collaboration with the World Health Organization . In Tunisia a rabies control program was initiated to give dog owners free vaccination to promote mass vaccination which was sponsored by their government . The vaccine is known as Rabisin ( Mérial ) , which is a cell based rabies vaccine only used countrywide . Vaccinations are often administered when owners take in their dogs for check - ups and visits at the vet . Wild animals ( edit ) There is also vaccination in pellet form which can be left out for wild animals to produce a herd immunity effect . Oral rabies vaccination ( ORV ) is a preventive measure to eradicate rabies in wild animal vectors of disease , mainly foxes , raccoons , raccoon dogs , coyotes and jackals , but also can be used for dogs in developing countries . Baits are distributed by airplanes in rural areas and by hand in urban and suburban areas . The idea of wildlife vaccination was conceived during the 1960s , and modified - live rabies viruses were used for the experimental oral vaccination of carnivores by the 1970s . The development of safe and effective rabies virus vaccines applied in attractive baits resulted in the first field trials in Switzerland in 1978 to immunize red foxes . ORV programs have seen success in preventing the westward spread of raccoon variant rabies in the United States and even eradicating rabies in red foxes in Switzerland . Imrab is an example of a veterinary rabies vaccine containing the Pasteur strain of killed rabies virus . Several different types of Imrab exist , including Imrab , Imrab 3 , and Imrab Large Animal . Imrab 3 has been approved for ferrets and , in some areas , pet skunks . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` Rabies vaccines : WHO position paper '' ( PDF ) .

8594273823244324851 | Sare Jahan se Accha | Sāre Jahan se Accha - wikipedia Sāre Jahan se Accha Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the Urdu poem . For other use ( s ) , see Sare Jahan se Accha ( disambiguation ) . `` Sare Jahan se Accha '' Song Language Urdu English title Anthem of the People of India Published 16 August 1904 ( 1904 - 08 - 16 ) Genre Patriotic song Songwriter ( s ) Muhammad Iqbal `` Sare Jahan se Accha '' ( Urdu : سارے جہاں سے اچھا , Hindi : सारे जहां से अच्छा ; Sāre Jahāṉ se Acchā ) , formally known as `` Tarānah - i - Hindi '' ( Urdu : ترانۂ ہندی , Hindi : तराना - ए - हिंदी ; `` Anthem of the People of India '' ) , is an Urdu language patriotic song written for children by poet Muhammad Iqbal in the ghazal style of Urdu poetry . The poem was published in the weekly journal Ittehad on 16 August 1904 . Publicly recited by Iqbal the following year at Government College , Lahore , British India ( now in Pakistan ) it quickly became an anthem of opposition to the British Raj . The song , an ode to Hindustan -- the land comprising present - day Bangladesh , India and Pakistan , was later published in 1924 in the Urdu book Bang - i - Dara . The song has remained popular , especially in India . An abridged version is sung and played frequently as a patriotic song and as a marching song of the Indian Armed Forces . A satirical version of the same from a 1958 Hindi movie also remains popular . Contents ( hide ) 1 Composition 2 Iqbal 's transformation and Tarana - e-Milli 3 Text 4 English Translation 5 Popularity in India and in popular culture 6 Notes and references 6.1 Notes 6.2 Citations 7 See also 8 External links Composition ( edit ) Iqbal was a lecturer at the Government College , Lahore at that time , and was invited by a student Lala Har Dayal to preside over a function . Instead of delivering a speech , Iqbal sang `` Saare Jahan Se Achcha '' . The song , in addition to embodying yearning and attachment to the land of Hindustan , expressed `` cultural memory '' and had an elegiac quality . In 1905 , the 27 - year - old Iqbal viewed the future society of the subcontinent as both a pluralistic and composite Hindu - Muslim culture . Later that year he left for Europe for a three - year sojourn that was to transform him into an Islamic philosopher and a visionary of a future Islamic society . Iqbal 's transformation and Tarana - e-Milli ( edit ) In 1910 , Iqbal wrote another song for children , `` Tarana - e-Milli '' ( Anthem of the Religious Community ) , which was composed in the same metre and rhyme scheme as `` Saare Jahan Se Achcha '' , but which renounced much of the sentiment of the earlier song . The sixth stanza of `` Saare Jahan Se Achcha '' ( 1904 ) , which is often quoted as proof of Iqbal 's secular outlook : Maẕhab nahīṉ sikhātā āpas meṉ bair rakhnā Hindī haiṉ ham , wat̤an hai Hindūstāṉ hamārā Religion does not teach us to bear ill - will among ourselves We are of Hind , our homeland is Hindustan . contrasted significantly with the first stanza of Tarana - e-Milli ( 1910 ) reads : Cīn o - ʿArab hamārā , Hindūstāṉ hamārā Muslim haiṉ ham , wat̤an hai sārā jahāṉ hamārā Central Asia and Arabia are ours , Hindustan is ours We are Muslims , the whole world is our homeland . Iqbal 's world view had now changed ; it had become both global and Islamic . Instead of singing of Hindustan , `` our homeland , '' the new song proclaimed that `` our homeland is the whole world . '' Two decades later , in his presidential address to the Muslim League annual conference in Allahabad in 1930 , he supported a separate nation - state in the Muslim majority areas of the sub-continent , an idea that inspired the creation of Pakistan .

There is something about our existence for it does n't get wiped Even though , for centuries , the time - cycle of the world has been our enemy . Iqbal ! We have no confidant in this world What does any one know of our hidden pain ? Popularity in India and in popular culture ( edit ) Saare Jahan Se Achcha has remained popular in India for nearly a century . Mahatma Gandhi is said to have sung it over a hundred times when he was imprisoned at Yerawada Jail in Pune in the 1930s . In the 1930s and 1940s , it was sung to a slower tune . In 1945 , while working in Mumbai with IPTA ( Indian Peoples Theater Association ) , the sitarist Pandit Ravi Shankar was asked to compose the music for the K.A. Abbas movie Dharti ka Laal and the Chetan Anand movie Neecha Nagar . During this time , Ravi Shankar was asked to compose music for the song Saare jahan se accha . In an interview in 2009 with Shekhar Gupta , Ravi Shankar recounts that he felt that the existing tune was too slow and sad . To give it a more inspiring impact , he set it to a stronger tune which is today the popular tune of this song , which they then tried out as a group song . It was later recorded by the singer Lata Mangeshkar to a 3rd altogether different tune . Stanzas ( 1 ) , ( 3 ) , ( 4 ) , and ( 6 ) of the song became an unofficial national song in India , and the Ravi Shankar version was adopted as the official quick march of the Indian Armed Forces . Rakesh Sharma , the first Indian astronaut , employed the first line of the song in 1984 to describe to then prime minister Indira Gandhi how India appeared from outer space . In his inaugural speech , the former prime minister of India Manmohan Singh quoted this poem at his first press conference after becoming the Prime Minister . The song is popular in India in schools , and as a marching song for the Indian armed forces ( played during public events and parades including those for the Indian independence day , republic day and Beating the Retreat ) . A parody of the song was written by the Urdu poet Sahir Ludhianvi for the 1958 Hindi film Phir Subah Hogi and sung by Mukesh . With the title `` Cheeno arab hamara '' , the song drew the irony between the reality of life for the common and poor people , with the idealized context drawn in the original song . Notes and references ( edit ) Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` ' Taranah - e Hindi ' ( 1904 ) was explicitly written as a patriotic song for children ; Iqbal also composed a number of others meant for children , but this one has always been the most popular .

"\"Sare Jahan se Accha\" (Urdu: سارے جہاں سے اچھا, Hindi: सारे जहां से अच्छा; Sāre Jahāṉ se Acchā), formally known as \"Tarānah-i-Hindi\" (Urdu: ترانۂ ہندی, Hindi: तराना-ए-हिंदी ; \"Anthem of the People of India\"), is an Urdu language patriotic song written for children by poet Muhammad Iqbal in the ghazal style of Urdu poetry.[a] The poem was published in the weekly journal Ittehad on 16 August 1904.[1] Publicly recited by Iqbal the following year at Government College, Lahore, British India (now in Pakistan) it quickly became an anthem of opposition to the British Raj. The song, an ode to Hindustan—the land comprising present-day Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, was later published in 1924 in the Urdu book Bang-i-Dara.[2]"

According to the film 's official novelization , Eric had just turned 18 in the film , which would make him two years older than Ariel . Eric is voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes in the original film and Kingdom Hearts II , by Jeff Bennett in the prequel television series , and by Rob Paulsen in the direct - to - video sequel . For the original film , Joshua Finkel acted opposite Sherri Stoner as Ariel in providing live - action references for the animators . Prince Eric is the only prince in the `` Disney Princess '' franchise that does not sing in the original movie . Eric is a human prince who is rescued by Ariel when he almost drowns in a storm at sea . Ariel drags him to shore and sings to him , but before he can fully regain consciousness , Max and his servant Grimsby arrive , forcing Ariel to dive underwater . Eric is haunted by Ariel 's voice , and searches the kingdom for her to no avail . When he crosses paths with Ariel again , she has traded her voice for legs , and though he initially finds her familiar , her lack of a voice makes him think that she can not be the girl who rescued him . However , he brings her back to his palace and they spend time together . Eric develops feelings for Ariel , but before he can approach her about them , Ursula , disguised as a human girl named Vanessa , arrives and magically hypnotizes Eric into forgetting about Ariel and believing that she Vanessa is the one who saved his life . Eric almost marries Vanessa , but Ariel and her friends intervene , breaking Ursula 's spell and restoring Ariel 's voice to her . Eric realizes that Ariel is the girl he has been looking for , but before they can kiss , the sun sets and Ursula claims Ariel . Eric goes after them , diving into the sea to help Ariel . In the battle that follows , Eric climbs on to a ship and charges it towards Ursula , plunging the splintered prow into her belly . Eric manages to reach the shore , and when he wakes , he sees Ariel , transformed back into a human , and the two embrace . The film ends with their wedding . Eric makes cameo appearances in three episodes of the prequel television series : Thingamajigger ( a non-speaking appearance ) Scuttle and Ariel 's Treasures . In the 2000 direct - to - video sequel , Eric is a supporting character . Although he and Ariel are happily married , they are threatened by the sea witch Morgana , who wishes to avenge her dead sister , Ursula . He and Ariel decide to keep raise their daughter Melody away from the sea , and keeping her merfolk heritage secret . In the 2007 Broadway musical , the role of Eric was originated by Sean Palmer . It is explained through dialogue that Eric 's father has died , and it is Grimsby 's duty to help Eric find a bride so he can return to the throne properly , despite Eric 's affinity for exploring the seas . Eric contributes singing vocals to the opening song `` Fathoms Below '' , and performs two solo songs : `` Her Voice '' , a song about Eric 's obsession with Ariel 's voice that had been written for the original film but discarded , and `` One Step Closer '' , a new song where Eric helps Ariel express herself through dance . Eric also provides vocals in the quartet `` If Only '' , where he expresses confusion over his attraction to Ariel , and his fear that if he finds the girl with the right voice , he might lose Ariel . A new subplot in the stage musical is a singing competition where the eligible princesses in all the land are invited to sing for Eric . The princesses perform in the song `` The Contest '' , which is set to the tune of Ariel 's song `` Part of Your World '' . At the end of the performance , Ariel dances for Eric , and he chooses her . The role was also performed by Drew Seeley . Prince Eric appears in season three of the ABC series Once Upon A Time , where is played by actor Gil McKinney .

Eric is enchanted by Ariel at the ball , commenting that she appears familiar to him . Eric invites Ariel to join him on an expedition around the world which is leaving the following morning . He waits for her as long as he is able , but she does n't come to him due to events beyond her control . It is later revealed that Eric was transported to the town of Storybrooke after The Evil Queen / Regina Mills cast a curse over his land . Ariel , who now has the ability to become human whenever she wants , later finds Eric working as a fisherman in Storybrooke and the two of them reunite . Sebastian ( edit ) Main article : Sebastian ( Disney ) Sebastian is a red Jamaican crab and a servant of king Triton , and also his main musical composer . His main song is `` Under The Sea '' .

Flounder scares easily , and is prone to panicking under stressful situations like a single shark breaching the sunken ship , but when Ariel is in trouble , he comes through for her without hesitation . In the film he is the only character to give unconditional support for Ariel 's fascination with human things , and at one point gives Ariel a statue of Eric as a gift . Flounder appears in all the episodes of the prequel television series , sharing constant adventures with Ariel and in the episode `` The Evil Manta '' , shown how he first met Ariel when they were children . According to the television series , Flounder 's real name is `` Guppy Number 35 '' . In the series , he is voiced by Edan Gross and Bradley Pierce . Flounder also appears in Jim Henson 's Little Mermaid 's Island where he has a twin sister named Sandy and is voiced by Veronica Taylor . Flounder has a small role in The Little Mermaid II : Return to the Sea , where he is reunited with a grown - up Ariel and takes part in the search for Ariel and Eric 's daughter Melody . He grew up and became a father himself , with five children of his own and he first meets Melody in Morgana 's lair . In this film , he is voiced by Cam Clarke . He has a larger role in The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning , which shows an alternate version of how he first meets Ariel and later unknowingly leads her to the Catfish Club . His characterization is notably different in this movie ; he does not scare as easily and is much more carefree and high - spirited . He performs beatboxing that kicks off a reprise of `` Jump In The Line ( Shake , Senora ) '' when he , Ariel , Sebastian and the Catfish Club Band are on the run from Atlantica . In this film , he is voiced by Parker Goris . Flounder appears in the Kingdom Hearts series , where his role as Ariel 's friend remains . His biggest role in the series is in Kingdom Hearts : Chain of Memories , where Ursula kidnapped him to force Ariel to give her the trident . He also sings his part in the song called `` A New Day is Dawning '' . He also appears in Disney Princess : Enchanted Journey as Ariel 's sidekick and is voiced by Anthony Skillman . He is also a remote - controlled playable character in the same game seen holding a big conch shell on his head with your help to catch the voice orbs . At the Disney theme parks , Flounder makes cameo appearances in the Mickey 's Philharmagic 3D show and in the Hong Kong Disneyland version of `` It 's a Small World '' . He has also appeared in the parks as a walk - around character , but mostly in parades , shows and special events such as `` Mickey 's Pirate & Princess Party '' . Flounder appears in the stage adaptation of The Little Mermaid . His supporting role is similar as in the film , but he does not give Ariel the statue of Eric , and does not help Ariel reach Eric 's wedding barge , as the Vanessa subplot has been removed . However , Flounder performs a new song titled `` She 's in Love '' , which he sings with Ariel 's sisters when they notice that Ariel has been acting `` fishy lately '' . The stage role was originated by Cody Hanford and J.J. Singleton , but the two actors had to leave the show when their height overshot that of Sierra Boggess , who originated Ariel . The role was taken over by Trevor Braun and Brian D'Addario . On the Original Broadway Cast Recording , Brian D'Addario performs as Flounder . Scuttle ( edit ) Scuttle First appearance The Little Mermaid ( 1989 ) Last appearance The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning ( 2008 ) Created by Ron Clements and John Musker Voiced by Buddy Hackett ( film , sequel & The Little Mermaid : Songs from the Sea ) Maurice LaMarche ( all other appearances except ride ) Chris Edgerly ( The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Undersea Adventure ) Scuttle ( scully ) is a seagull and friend of Ariel , voiced by Buddy Hackett in the 1989 film and 2000 sequel . He appears as an expert on human objects with whom Ariel consults about items she salvages , though his identifications consist of nonsense . He wrongly names a fork a `` dinglehopper '' and says that it is used as a comb , and a smoking pipe a `` snarfblatt '' while claiming it works like a trumpet . Despite his erroneous information on human things , Scuttle provides support and advice when he learns that Ariel has to win Eric 's heart in three days . On the third day , Scuttle is the one who discovers that Vanessa , the woman Eric has decided to marry instead , is actually Ursula . He immediately tells Ariel this information , and helps stall the wedding with help from other marine creatures so to allow Ariel to arrive and confront Eric ( as well as smashing Ursula 's shell that held Ariel 's voice , thus restoring it and freeing Eric from Ursula 's spell ) . Scuttle appears in a small role in The Little Mermaid II : Return to the Sea , where he helps Ariel find her daughter Melody , who has run away . Scuttle appears in two episodes of the third season of the prequel television series in which he is voiced by Maurice LaMarche . The episodes he appears in are `` Scuttle '' , where Ariel , Flounder and Sebastian meet him for the first time ( in which he claims his name was originally `` Scuttlebutt '' but he changed it `` for obvious reasons '' ) , and `` The Island of Fear '' . In these episodes , Scuttle 's explanation of human things is a mixture of correct and erroneous . Scuttle also made a cameo appearance in an episode of Quack Pack . In The Little Mermaid : Songs from the Sea , Scuttle performs a song called `` The Scuttle Strut '' on track 3 . Scuttle appears in the stage adaptation of the original film , where he sings two songs : `` Human Stuff '' , where he explains the human things Ariel has brought to him , and `` Positoovity '' , where he encourages a now - human Ariel to be positive in achieving her goal of winning Eric . The role is originated by Eddie Korbich . In the stage musical , Scuttle has a group of seagull friends , and together they perform a tap dance during the `` Positoovity '' number . Scuttle has a non-speaking cameo in The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning , appearing when Marina is on a rock at the surface ( animated the same way with Ariel when she sings a reprise for `` Part of Your World '' ) and is splashed by a wave . Ursula ( edit ) Main article : Ursula ( Disney ) Ursula appears in the 1989 film . She is voiced by Pat Carroll , who also provides her vocals for all the canonical animated media . Ursula is based on the `` sea witch / sorceress '' character in Hans Christian Andersen 's story `` The Little Mermaid '' . Triton ( edit ) Triton First appearance The Little Mermaid ( 1989 ) Last appearance The Little Mermaid II : Return to the Sea ( 2000 ) The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning ( 2008 ) Created by Hans Christian Andersen ( original story ) Ron Clements & John Musker ( adaptation ) Voiced by Kenneth Mars ( 1989 film , TV series , sequel , Kingdom Hearts series ) Jim Cummings ( prequel film ) Aliases King Triton Sea King Red Triton is the king of Atlantica and Ariel 's father . In the Hans Christian Andersen version , the sea king is unnamed . In the first two films , the TV series and the Kingdom Hearts games , he was voiced by Kenneth Mars ; in the prequel film , he is voiced by Jim Cummings . According to the film 's directors Ron Clements and John Musker , the clashes of personality between him and Ariel is because they are both strong - willed and independent , and it is revealed in the television series that Triton and Ariel are stubborn . Triton wields a powerful trident , which is the source of his supposedly unlimited power . The character is inspired by the son of the Greek sea god Poseidon , although the actual Triton is from Greek mythology and has two finned feet . In The Little Mermaid , Triton is prejudiced towards humans , believing them to be nothing but savage fish eaters , and Ariel 's fascination with humans has caused their relationship to become very strained . According to Triton , it is illegal to make contact between humans and merpeople ; and he orders his servant , Sebastian , to look after Ariel . When Triton discovers that Ariel saved the life of and has fallen in love with a human , he loses his temper and destroys most of her grotto filled with her collection of human artifacts despite his daughter 's objections ; this action of his ultimately damages their relationship . Devastated by his recent actions , Triton orders a search for Ariel to apologize , not knowing that she has accepted Ursula 's deal and become a human . Triton is distraught over his daughter 's disappearance , and when Sebastian arrives with news of Ursula 's scheme , Triton goes to Ursula , offering to take his daughter 's place . He is transformed into a polyp , but when Ursula is killed by Eric , he is restored to his original form and regains his crown and trident . Realizing that Ariel truly loves Eric and that all his beliefs about humans were completely wrong , Triton willingly transforms his daughter back into a human . Triton is a regular character in the prequel television series , in which he is explicitly called the son of Poseidon . A number of episodes show him getting into conflict with Ariel , but it is always resolved in a positive manner , showing a close relationship between father and daughter . ( For example , in the episode Charmed , when Ariel gets a human charm bracelet locked around her wrist , she could not return because Triton would lose his temper again after he destroyed a magnifying glass she discovered earlier . However , after Ariel gets lost , Triton eventually finds her and uses the key to unlock the bracelet and feels apologetic for his actions ) . In the episode `` Red '' , Triton regresses into a young merboy , reversing the role as Ariel has to worry and take care of him instead . As a young boy , his nickname is Red , for his red hair . Coincidentally , as a boy , Triton himself is fascinated with humans and human objects ; complete reversal of his prejudice towards humans as an adult . He sometimes agrees with Ariel in some episodes like `` Land of the Dinosaurs '' , in which he understands that the dinosaurs are good after they have been thawed . Triton appears in the sequel The Little Mermaid II : Return To The Sea , in which he has learned to trust humans and interact with them . His weakness is his love for his granddaughter Melody , which is exploited by Morgana . However , when Triton regains his trident , he traps Morgana in a massive ice cube . In the 2008 direct - to - DVD prequel The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning , the prologue shows Triton with his wife Athena . Athena is accidentally crushed to death by a pirate ship , and a distraught Triton bans music from Atlantica and forces everyone to follow a strict daily schedule . Ariel 's free - spirited personality causes a strain on their relationship . He eventually comes to realize his mistakes , pardons Sebastian , lifts the ban on music and appoints Sebastian as his court composer . Jim Cummings replaces Kenneth Mars as the voice of King Triton , due to Mars 's pancreatic cancer diagnosis . In the stage musical , Triton is Ursula 's older brother , and reveals that a reason he is overprotective of Ariel is because she reminds him of her late mother . In this version , Triton and Ursula are equals , and when their father died , they were each given equal share of the sea and one magical item each ; Triton received the trident and Ursula received a magic Nautilus shell . When Ursula began to abuse her power , Triton exiled her , though he did not take away her Nautilus shell . The musical contains new songs that were written for his character ; `` That World Above ( reprise ) '' in which he confronts Ariel in her grotto and destroys it , `` If Only ( quartet ) '' in which he expresses regret over his behavior towards Ariel , and `` If Only ( reprise ) '' in which he lets Ariel go to be with Eric . The stage role is originated by Norm Lewis . In the Kingdom Hearts series of video games , Triton still plays the role of over-protective father and king of Atlantica . In the first game , his relationship with Ariel becomes strained due to his daughter 's desire to see other worlds , and he initially distrusts Sora , Donald and Goofy when they first arrive in Atlantica , having somehow heard of the negative part of the Keyblade legend , but eventually respects Sora when Ursula is defeated and locks the world 's keyhole . In Kingdom Hearts II , Triton 's relationship with Ariel is strained , this time thanks to Ariel 's fascination with the human world . He asks Sora , Donald and Goofy to take part in the music concert with Ariel , but Sora ignores Triton 's request and helps Ariel become human to find and fall in love with Eric . He is also part of the song called `` A New Day is Dawning '' . After Ursula is defeated once again , he respectfully bids a final farewell to Sora . He also appears in The Princess and the Frog as a parade float . Ariel 's sisters ( edit ) Aunt Aquata , Aunt Andrina , Aunt Arista , Aunt Attina , Aunt Adella and Aunt Alana First appearance The Little Mermaid ( 1989 ) Last appearance The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning ( 2008 ) Created by Hans Christian Andersen ( original story ) Ron Clements & John Musker ( adaptation ) Voiced by Attina : Caroline Vasicek ( first film ) Kath Soucie ( TV episodes ) Christie Houser ( Kingdom Hearts II ) Kari Wahlgren ( prequel film ) Alana : Kimmy Robertson ( TV episodes and first film ) Jennifer Hale ( prequel film ) Adella : Kimmy Robertson ( first film ) Sherry Lynn ( TV episodes ) Tara Strong ( prequel film ) Aquata : Caroline Vasicek ( first film ) Mona Marshall ( TV episodes ) Grey DeLisle ( prequel film ) Arista : Kimmy Robertson ( first film ) Mary Kay Bergman ( TV episodes ) Grey DeLisle ( prequel film ) Andrina : Kimmy Robertson ( first film ) Catherine Cavadini ( TV episodes ) Susan Stevens Logan ( Kingdom Hearts II ) Tara Strong ( prequel film ) Aliases Mersisters Ariel has six older sisters named Aquata , Andrina , Arista , Attina , Adella and Alana . They are the maternal aunts of Melody and the sisters - in - law of Eric . In the 1989 film , they are voiced by Kimmy Robertson and Caroline Vasicek , and perform the song `` Daughters of Triton . '' Later on in the film , Andrina , Attina , Adella and Aquata make a brief appearance together with Ariel in what appears to be the palace dressing room intended for all the sisters . In that scene , Ariel emerges from behind a curtain of seaweed swimming dreamily and humming a few lines from `` Part of Your World '' . The sisters notice the change in Ariel 's conduct and conclude in front of their father that Ariel is in love . All six sisters appear again in the end of the film together with King Triton , smiling and waving to Ariel after she gets married to Eric . In the second film , the sisters play a minor role with only Attina , Andrina , Aquata and Adella having dialogue , and Arista appearing in a non-speaking role . The age order of the sisters is debatable . In the original film , they sing `` Daughter of Triton '' and announce themselves in this order : Aquata , Andrina , Arista , Attina , Adella , Alana . This had led many to believe that was the proper birth order . Various official Disney media that was released from 1989 onward also used seemed to this as their birth order . The comic `` Serpent Teen '' stated that Aquata is the eldest and the future ruler , but the comic `` Underwater Wedding , '' clearly stated that Attina was the eldest . The 2008 film The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning also made it clear that Attina was the oldest . Also , the DVD 's Vanity Game feature states that the age order is Attina - 21 , Alana - 20 , Adella - 19 , Aquata - 18 , Arista - 17 , Andrina - 16 and Ariel - 15 . However , in the same film , Adella states that she is two years older than Ariel , meaning she would only be 17 . Aquata has a blue tail and a matching seashell bra . She has brown eyes and wears her brown hair in a ponytail with white pearl decorations . In the prequel film she 's the fourth - born sister . She has a little pink seahorse doll named Mr. Fuzzyfinkle ; she argues with Arista because she steals her things and is hysterical and a very bad dancer . She is a minor character in the first and second film and the TV series and is a main character in the prequel . She is voiced by Caroline Vasicek in the first film , Mona Marshall in the TV series , and Grey DeLisle in the prequel . Andrina has a purple tail and a magenta seashell bra . She has hazel eyes and wears her blonde hair in a bun topped with a pink shell decoration . In the prequel film she 's the sixth - born sister and is a humorous genius who likes jokes and sarcasm . She is a minor character in the first and second film and the TV series and is a main character in the prequel . She 's voiced by Kimmy Robertson in the first film , Cathy Cavadini in the TV series , and Tara Strong in the prequel . Arista has a red tail and a matching seashell bra . She has ice blue eyes and wears her pale blonde hair in a ponytail with dark pink decorations . In the television series , it is revealed that Arista and Ariel have a troublesome relationship and Arista admits she 's jealous of Ariel 's free spirit and envies her adventures . She is vain , ironical , selfish yet kind and helps her sisters in need . She 's also athletic . In the prequel film she 's the fifth - born sister and is a ditzy , sweet - natured kleptomaniac who borrows Aquata 's personal belongings without permission and argues with her every time . She also has a love of music ( possibly because she was named after Arista Records ) , and quickly masters the trombone when she and her sisters watch Sabastian and his band perform . She is a minor character in the first film and makes a very brief cameo in the second film and is also a minor character in the TV series and is a main character in the prequel . She 's voiced by Kimmy Robertson in the first film , Mary Kay Bergman in the TV series , and Grey DeLisle in the prequel . Attina has an orange tail and a matching seashell bra .

In her second appearance in episode `` Eel - ectric City '' , she shows up at the palace to pick up Alana , who has been invited to a party at her house .

Because Archimedes goes to the surface very often , his knowledge on human culture is far more accurate than Ariel 's ; prior to the latter becoming human herself and her marriage to Eric .

However , to his surprise he encounters Ariel , to which his claims are verified . Later on , Archimedes , Sebastian , Flounder , The Crabscouts , and even King Triton appear to assist Andersen 's damaged vessel back to the surface . At the end of this episode , the character is inspired by the encounter to `` write '' the story of The Little Mermaid . This encounter contradicts the idea that Ariel 's first face to face contact with humans is with Prince Eric , and forces Ariel to confront her father with the fact that she , Triton , and all merfolk are half human when she appeals to Triton for help in saving Andersen 's life .

Ariel manages , with the help of Flounder and their friends to defeat the Manta . He then became a recurring character , intent on taking control of Atlantica for himself .

Melody grows up banned from entering the sea and is not told why , but by her 12th birthday has been regularly sneaking out of the palace to swim in secret . On said birthday , Melody finds the locket with her name , and questions Ariel about it . Ariel and Melody argue , and before Ariel can apologize and explain , Melody runs away from the castle in a boat . Melody is discovered by Undertow and convinced to meet Morgana , who uses Melody 's love of the sea against her .

Melody succeeds in stealing the trident , and returns to Morgana at the same time that her mother Ariel , who has been turned back into a mermaid in order to find Melody , also arrives . Melody is angered by Ariel 's decision to lie to her , and gives Morgana the trident .

Morgana uses the trident to subjugate the merfolk , but Melody , no longer a mermaid , is unaffected and steals the trident back .

In the aftermath , Melody apologizes to Ariel and Eric for her actions , and Ariel apologizes for not telling Melody the truth .

She openly attacks Melody 's birthday party and uses her as a hostage to gain Triton 's trident , a ploy that fails due to Ariel 's quick thinking . Morgana escapes , and for twelve years eludes Triton 's efforts to find her . Morgana eventually meets twelve - year - old Melody , who has rebelled against her mother 's overprotective ways . Morgana lures Melody with the promise of becoming a mermaid , using the last of Ursula 's magic potion to transform Melody temporarily into a mermaid . Morgana asks Melody to get the trident for her , claiming herself to be its rightful owner . Morgana succeeds in getting the trident thanks to Melody , and proclaims herself as the new ruler of the seven seas .

"Scuttle (scully) is a seagull and friend of Ariel, voiced by Buddy Hackett in the 1989 film and 2000 sequel. He appears as an expert on human objects with whom Ariel consults about items she salvages, though his identifications consist of nonsense. He wrongly names a fork a \"dinglehopper\" and says that it is used as a comb, and a smoking pipe a \"snarfblatt\" while claiming it works like a trumpet. Despite his erroneous information on human things, Scuttle provides support and advice when he learns that Ariel has to win Eric's heart in three days. On the third day, Scuttle is the one who discovers that Vanessa, the woman Eric has decided to marry instead, is actually Ursula. He immediately tells Ariel this information, and helps stall the wedding with help from other marine creatures so to allow Ariel to arrive and confront Eric (as well as smashing Ursula's shell that held Ariel's voice, thus restoring it and freeing Eric from Ursula's spell)."

It is not to be confused with junior ice hockey . Minor hockey is an umbrella term for amateur ice hockey which is played below the junior age level . Players are classified by age , with each age group playing in its own league . The rules , especially as it relates to body contact , vary from class to class . In North America , the rules are governed by the national bodies , Hockey Canada and USA Hockey , while local hockey associations administer players and leagues for their region . Many provinces and states organize regional and provincial championship tournaments , and the highest age groups in Canada and USA also participate in national championships . Minor hockey is not to be confused with minor league professional hockey .

Age categories ( edit ) To qualify in a category , the player must be under the age limit as of December 31 of the current season . Initiation ( Mini Mite , Tyke or H1 / H2 ) : under 7 years of age In some larger areas with multiple associations in close proximity , Tyke is broken up by age into Hockey 1 ( H1 ) for 5 year old players and Hockey 2 ( H2 ) for 6 years old players . Novice ( Mite or H3 / H4 ) : under 9 years of age In some larger areas , Novice is broken up by age into Hockey 3 ( H3 ) for 7 year old players and Hockey 4 ( H4 ) for 8 year old players . Atom ( Squirt ) : under 11 years of age Peewee : under 13 years of age Bantam : under 15 years of age Midget : under 18 years of age Juvenile under 20 years of age , for players who want to remain in hockey at a minor hockey association level . Those not playing Junior or playing Senior . Junior : under 21 years of age Junior : divided into Major Junior ( WHL , OHL and QMJHL ) , Junior A ( Tier II Junior ) , Junior B and Junior C ( in some locations ) . Senior : No age limit Skill categories ( edit ) There are two broad grouping of skill levels : competitive and non-competitive . From house league / recreation hockey , progression is made to competitive travel hockey . A competitive team will hold tryouts and players will be selected for the roster depending upon skill level and fit . At this level , players chosen to compete experience a higher level of on - ice competition and coaching . Players learn systems ; coaches maximize his / her potential and train them to work together as a unit . Non-competitive ( edit ) HL ( `` House League '' or Recreational ) teams are intra-city and players may be of any skill level . Rostered Select teams will consist of better House League players who in addition to HL play , will play in additional games and practices which are organized on an ad - hoc basis . League Select teams will consist of better House League Players but can also play in a league for a full season in addition to the House League Season . This is also known as Select in some areas . Competitive ( edit ) Higher - skilled players will typically play on `` representative '' or `` travel '' teams that will travel to play representative ( rep ) teams from other areas . These teams are classified by skill . Not all cities will have teams at all skill levels , depending on size and the popularity of hockey , however even small communities may field teams at multiple levels . ( For example : Orillia , Ontario , with a population of 30,000 , has four distinct skill divisions for 7 - year - olds . ) The classifications are typically not certified by any external organization , so there is speculation about what levels are truly better or stronger than others . AAA , AA , and A hockey are nationally recognized as competitive levels of organized hockey , with AAA being elite competition . The competitive level players generally engage in high levels of physical play from a young age . This physical play can lead to injuries and most often these are related to the head . Injuries have become more prevalent as physical play has increased in the sport . ' House Level ' Inter Association hockey never leaving own association ' C ' Playing other associations in a region . ' B ' ' A ' ' AA ' ' AAA ' is the highest caliber of minor hockey British Columbia ( edit ) In British Columbia , BC Hockey has a different system for competitive teams . Midget Rep has a BC run Midget AAA league . All other Rep teams ( Atom to Juvenile ) are exclusively inter association under the guidance of PCAHA ( Pacific Coast ) , OMAHA ( Okanagan ) , VIAHA ( Island ) , and are labeled as A1 , A2 , A3 , and A4 . No Atom level Provincial championship exist as Atom is considered developmental and non competitive . The Minor Hockey Associations of BC Hockey shall be categorized as A , and designated by the following tiers : Tier 1 , Tier 2 , Tier 3 and Tier 4 . For the purposes of affiliation regulations , each Tier designation will be considered a category . BC Hockey Registrations of male Midget , Bantam and Pee Wee players from the previous three ( 3 ) years with the Associations tiers are determined the according to the following schedule : Average Registration of Male Midget , Bantam & Peewee Players Designation 300 and greater Tier 1 Less than 300 , greater than or equal to 175 Tier 2 Less than 175 , greater than or equal to 80 Tier 3 Less than 80 Tier 4 The above chart shall be utilized to determine the tier of the `` initial entry '' team at each division ( i.e. the association 's top Midget , Bantam and Peewee team ) . 1.03 a ) Associations may register additional teams in any Division in accordance with the following chart : Association Designation Second Entry Team Third Entry Team Fourth Entry Team Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 Tier 4 Tier 3 Tier 4 Tier 4 Tier 4 Tier 4 Tier 4 Tier 4 Tier 4 b ) Any association registering more than two hundred and fifty ( 250 ) players in any Age division of Peewee , Bantam , Midget and Juvenile shall be required to register teams in that division in accordance with the following chart : First Entry , Second Entry Team Must register two Tier 1 teams Third Entry Team Tier 2 Fourth Entry Team Tier 3 Fifth Entry Team Tier 4 1.04 All Winter Clubs are designated Tier 1 . This designation is to be reviewed annually by the BC Hockey Executive Committee following consultation with the District Association . Quebec ( edit ) Quebec house leagues are labeled C , B , A. Competitive teams are urbanly known as the `` double letters '' and are labeled as BB , AA ( Atom through Midget Levels ) , and AAA ( urbanly considered as triple - A and higher than the double letters ) . AAA teams in Quebec only occur from categories Pee - Wee through Junior . The Midget category offers the ' Espoir ' Level ( primarily 15 - year - olds ) and falls between AA and AAA distinction . The following are the Levels currently played in the Province of Quebec , as sanctioned by Hockey Quebec : Pre-Novice 1 ( 5 Years of Age ) : MAHG 1 Pre-Novice 2 ( 6 Years of Age ) : MAHG 2 Novice ( Ages 7 -- 8 ) : C -- B -- A Atom ( Ages 9 -- 10 ) : C -- B -- A -- BB -- AA Pee - Wee ( Ages 11 -- 12 ) : C - B -- A -- BB -- AA -- AAA . Bantam ( Ages 13 -- 14 ) : B -- A -- BB -- AA -- AAA . Midget ( Ages 15 -- 17 ) : B - A - BB - AA - AAA . Junior ( Ages 18 -- 21 ) : B -- A -- BB -- AA Controversy regarding age distribution in Canadian minor hockey ( edit ) In a 2001 study published by the University of Toronto Press , the effects of minor hockey players who are born in the first half of the year ( January - June ) were directly compared to those who are born in the second half of the calendar year ( July - December ) . The study aimed to determine how age effects a young players probability of playing at a higher level in the future . Given the relatively short age brackets in Canadian minor hockey ( players move up 1 league every 2 years before the age of 15 ) , it was hypothesized that players who are born in the latter part of a calendar year are at a disadvantage ( theoretically , a child could be playing with peers who are 2.5 years older than themselves under the current Canadian Minor Hockey system ) . The findings in this research were consistent with the hypothesis ; upon extensive testing throughout several leagues and age divisions in Canada , Hurley , Lior and Tracze concluded that age plays a significant factor in a players ability to excel in hockey beyond the Houseleauge level . The findings of this study resulted in the proposal for redistribution of player slotting in minor hockey under a new ' quarter ' system . The system proposed would split a year into 4 quarters , consisting of 3 months each , for example `` 1992 ( 3 ) refers to players born in 1992 sometime in the third quarter ( i.e sometime in the months July , August or September ) `` . Under this proposed system players would be playing against players of a similar age , never playing opponents who are over 24 months older than them as the current system allows . The proposed system would operate under an 8 - year basis , moving players from division to division each year . The recommendations made in the study never materialized . However , the research that was conducted is valid and should be taken into account when revising minor league hockey policy in the future . Finland ( edit ) In Finland , the Finnish Ice Hockey Association roughly categorizes minor hockey players to under school - ages and school - ages . Children over 16 are considered as juniors , although the youngest juniors are still at the school - age . Minor and junior hockey levels are : G - and F - minors ( age 9 and younger ) E-minors ( ages 10 to 11 ) D - minors ( ages 12 to 13 ) C - juniors ( age 14 to 15 ) B - juniors ( age 16 to 17 ) A-juniors ( age 20 and younger ) France ( edit ) In France , hockey teams use the following levels : Moustiques ( age 9 and younger ) Poussins ( ages 10 -- 11 ) Benjamins ( ages 12 -- 13 ) Minimes ( ages 14 -- 15 ) Cadets ( ages 16 -- 17 ) Espoirs ( ages 18 -- 20 ) Germany ( edit ) In Germany , German Ice Hockey Federation designates the following levels : Kleinstschüler ( Bambini ) ( ages 9 and younger ) Kleinschüler ( ages 11 and younger ) Knaben ( ages 13 and younger ) Schüler ( ages 15 and younger ) Jugend ( ages 17 and younger ) Junioren ( ages 19 and younger ) All levels are administrated by the respective sub-federation in each province except for the federal leagues which are administrated directly by the German Ice Hockey Federation . Ages were raised in 2010 / 2011 . Sweden ( edit ) The Swedish Ice Hockey Federation designates the following levels : Linesmen in the middle of breaking up a youth hockey scrum . U9 ( ages 9 and younger ) U10 ( ages 10 and younger ) U11 ( ages 11 and younger ) U12 ( ages 12 and younger ) U13 ( ages 13 and younger ) U14 ( ages 14 and younger ) U15 ( ages 15 and younger ) U16 ( ages 16 and younger ) J18 ( Juniors 18 and younger ) J20 ( Juniors 20 and younger ) Some levels ( especially J18 and J20 ) are directly administrated by the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation , while lower divisions of the Juniors and below are administrated by the respective sub-federation in each landskap . Switzerland ( edit ) The Swiss Ice Hockey Federation designates the following levels : using terms from the national languages of Switzerland . Bambini ( ages 6 -- 9 ) , Italian for `` children '' . 2 categories : Bambi and Bini Piccolo ( ages 11 and under ) , Italian for `` little '' Moskitos ( ages 10 -- 12 ) , German for `` mosquito '' . 3 categories : Moskitos B , A and Top Mini ( ages 12 -- 14 ) , Latin for `` small '' . 3 categories : Minis B , A and Top Novizen , Novices or Novizi ( ages 15 -- 17 ) , meaning `` Novices '' . 3 categories : Novices A , Top and Elite Junioren , Juniors or Juniores ( ages 17 -- 20 ) , meaning `` Juniors '' . 4 categories : Juniors A , Top , Elite B and Elite A United States ( edit ) In the United States , USA Hockey designates the following levels : Mite ( ages 8 & under ) ( Red , White and Blue , played as cross-ice games ) Squirt ( ages 9 -- 10 ) ( Levels AAA , AA , A , B , C ) Peewee ( ages 11 -- 12 ) ( Levels AAA , AA , A , B , C ) Bantam ( ages 13 -- 14 ) ( Levels AAA , AA , A , B , C ) Midget Minor 15 and Under ( age 15 ) ( Level AAA ) Midget Minor 16 and Under ( ages 15 -- 16 ) ( Levels AAA , AA , junior varsity high school - A ) Midget Major 18 and Under ( ages 15 -- 18 ) ( Levels AAA , AA , varsity high school - AA and AAA ) Junior ( ages 16 to 20 ) ( Cut - off age varies depending on the league ) Girls hockey operates under their own age classifications , namely 10U , 12U , 14U , 16U and 19U . Many organizations and leagues that have larger numbers of registered players tend to delineate within the two year window allowed for each age group . In these situations , teams composed entirely or primarily of players in their second year of eligibility are designated ' major ' teams , while those with players in their 1st year of eligibility are designated ' minor ' teams . ( For example , ten - year - olds would be ' squirt majors ' while nine - year - olds would be ' squirt minors . ' ) This is especially true in `` AAA '' . Some leagues separate players six years old and younger into their own group , often referred to using names like `` Mini-Mites , '' `` Mosquitoes , '' or `` Microns . '' USA Hockey designates four skill levels : Tier 1 : The Highest Level of Competition , commonly called `` AAA '' , following the Canadian system . Tier 2 : The Next Higher Level of Competition , commonly called `` AA '' or `` A '' , following the Canadian system . Tier 3 : The Next Higher Level of Competition ( Not all districts use this designation ) , may also be called `` A '' , the lowest level of competitive hockey . Recreational / Developmental : Includes House League and Select ( House All - Star ) Teams . May be called `` B '' , `` C '' , etc . AAU ( edit ) The Amateur Athletic Union has returned to licensing the sport of Ice Hockey . During recent years , the AAU has sanctioned several High School Varsity , Junior Varsity and Middle School leagues within the state of New York . During the 2011 - 2012 season the AAU began licensing Junior and youth leagues as well . The Western States Hockey League ( WSHL ) moved their operations from USA Hockey into AAU and Hockey Michigan was formed , providing Mite ( 8&under ) conventional full - ice playing opportunities in the face of cross-ice mandates adopted by the USA Hockey district affiliate . During the 2012 - 2013 season , AAU Junior and Youth operations have been expanding rapidly and currently span coast to coast . Although some AAU clubs still use classification terms such as Mites - Midgets , the more correct AAU youth designations are : 6U ( ages 6 and younger ) 7U ( ages 7 and younger ) 8U ( ages 8 and younger ) 9U ( ages 9 and younger ) 10U ( ages 10 and younger ) 11U ( ages 11 and younger ) 12U ( ages 12 and younger ) 13U ( ages 13 and younger ) 14U ( ages 14 and younger ) 15U ( ages 15 and younger ) 16U ( ages 16 and younger ) 17U ( ages 17 and younger ) 18U ( ages 18 and younger ) Officials ( edit ) A youth hockey official signalling an icing call . Officials for youth hockey are often youth players themselves , calling games in lower levels than the one they participate in themselves . Just as players start out playing youth hockey , officials start their officiating career officiating youth hockey , making it up through the ranks as their officiating skill increases . USA Hockey defines certain levels of their officials and so does Hockey Canada and the International Ice Hockey Federation . Currently , many youth officials quit after a few games , mainly due to verbal abuse from parents , coaches and players . The other issue faced by young referees is a reluctance from older officials to give them more advanced games . In the US and Canada , news stories pop up from now and then that describes physical abuse on youth officials , in addition to verbal abuse . These problems were addressed in Hockey Canada 's `` Relax , it 's just a game '' - campaign , which started in 2002 . A youth official can usually move up the ladder to juniors after about 2 years of officiating , and after a few years move up to senior hockey . This is of course , just as with players , different for each individual as their skill - curves are differently shaped . Many current and former officials feel that their officiating career has aided them in their professional life as well , being more comfortable with handling critical decisions and upset individuals . The combinations of CEO or lower - level boss along with being an official and police officer along with officiating is quite common in many countries .

Additionally , a right of interstate travel may plausibly be inferred from the clause . Contents ( hide ) 1 Text 2 Prior to ratification of Constitution 3 Between ratification and Civil War 4 After Civil War 5 Right to travel 6 Miscellaneous 7 Footnotes 8 Bibliography 9 See also 10 External links Text ( edit ) The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States . Prior to ratification of Constitution ( edit ) The clause is similar to a provision in the Articles of Confederation : `` the free inhabitants of each of these States , paupers , vagabonds and fugitives from justice excepted , shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States . '' James Madison discussed that provision of the Articles of Confederation in Federalist No. 42 . Madison wrote : `` those who come under the denomination of free inhabitants of a State , although not citizens of such State , are entitled , in every other State , to all the privileges of free citizens of the latter ; that is , to greater privileges than they may be entitled to in their own State ... '' Madison apparently did not believe that this clause in the Articles of Confederation dictated how a state must treat its own citizens . Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 80 that the corresponding Privileges and Immunities Clause in the proposed federal Constitution is `` the basis of the union '' . Between ratification and Civil War ( edit ) In the federal circuit court case of Corfield v. Coryell , Justice Bushrod Washington wrote in 1823 that the protections provided by the clause are confined to privileges and immunities which are , `` in their nature , fundamental ; which belong , of right , to the citizens of all free governments ; and which have , at all times , been enjoyed by the citizens of the several states which compose this Union , from the time of their becoming free , independent , and sovereign . '' In his explanation of the scope of the rights protected by the clause , Justice Washington included the right to travel through and reside in states , the right to claim benefit of the writ of heabeas corpus , the right of access to the courts , the right to purchase and hold property , and an exemption from higher taxes than state residents pay . The Corfield case involved the rights of an out - of - state citizen , rather than the rights of an in - state citizen , and Justice Washington 's opinion did not suggest that this provision of the Constitution addresses how a legislature must treat its own citizens . On the contrary , Washington 's handwritten notes indicate his belief that this provision of the Constitution did not address how a legislature must treat its own citizens . Another pertinent federal circuit court case was decided by Justice Henry Baldwin , who succeeded Justice Washington . In the case of Magill v. Brown , Justice Baldwin addressed the Privileges and Immunities Clause : `` We must take it therefore as a grant by the people of the state in convention , to the citizens of all the other states of the Union , of the privileges and immunities of the citizens of this state . '' These federal circuit court statements by Justices Washington and Baldwin were not inconsistent with each other . They both became the settled doctrine of the U.S. Supreme Court after the Civil War . Justice Joseph Story also addressed this Clause of the Constitution , in 1833 : It is obvious , that , if the citizens of each state were to be deemed aliens to each other , they could not take , or hold real estate , or other privileges , except as other aliens . The intention of this clause was to confer on them , if one may so say , a general citizenship ; and to communicate all the privileges and immunities , which the citizens of the same state would be entitled to under the like circumstances . Thus , Story thought that this Clause of the Constitution was meant `` only to provide temporary visitors with equality in certain rights with the citizens of the states they were visiting . '' This Clause of the Constitution was also mentioned by the Supreme Court in the infamous Scott v. Sandford case in 1857 : Chief Justice Taney , speaking for the majority , said that this Clause gives state citizens , when in other states , the right to travel , the right to sojourn , the right to free speech , the right to assemble , and the right to keep and bear arms ; even as the Court excluded all African - Americans from citizenship , it indicated that citizens ' free speech was limited : `` full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its ( a slave State 's ) own citizens might speak . '' Justice McLean in his dissent speaks of the right to sue without expounding this Clause at length . Justice Curtis asserts in his dissent that this Clause does not confer any rights other than rights that a visited state chooses to guarantee to its own citizens . After Civil War ( edit ) In 1866 , during the congressional debates about the draft Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution , Senator Jacob Howard noted that the U.S. Supreme Court had never squarely addressed the meaning of the Privileges and Immunities Clause : It would be a curious question to solve what are the privileges and immunities of citizens of each of the States in the several States ... I am not aware that the Supreme Court have ever undertaken to define either the nature or extent of the privileges and immunities thus guarantied . The Fourteenth Amendment was ratified two years later , in 1868 , and still the Supreme Court had not spoken . The following year , on November 1 of 1869 , the Court finally addressed this issue . In the case of Paul v. Virginia , 75 U.S. 168 ( 1868 ) , the Court said the following : It was undoubtedly the object of the clause in question to place the citizens of each State upon the same footing with citizens of other States , so far as the advantages resulting from citizenship in those States are concerned . It relieves them from the disabilities of alienage in other States ; it inhibits discriminating legislation against them by other States ; it gives them the right of free ingress into other States , and egress from them ; it insures to them in other States the same freedom possessed by the citizens of those States in the acquisition and enjoyment of property and in the pursuit of happiness ; and it secures to them in other States the equal protection of their laws . The Court went on to explain that the laws of one state would not become effective in another : `` It was not intended by the provision to give to the laws of one State any operation in other States . They can have no such operation , except by the permission , express or implied , of those States . '' These sections of Paul v. Virginia are still good law , and were relied upon , for example , in Saenz v. Roe , 526 U.S. 489 ( 1999 ) . Other portions of Paul v. Virginia were reversed in U.S. v. South - Eastern Underwriters Ass'n , 322 U.S. 533 ( 1944 ) . The Court has never deviated from the principle stated in Paul that the Privileges and Immunities Clause in Article IV of the Constitution has no bearing on how a state treats its own citizens . In - state residents `` have no claim under the Privileges and Immunities Clause . '' United Building & Construction Trades Council v. Mayor and Council of Camden , 465 U.S. 208 ( 1984 ) . The Privileges and Immunities Clause prevents discrimination against people from out of state , but only with regard to basic rights . The Court uses a two - part test to determine if the Privileges and Immunities Clause has been violated . First , it looks to see if a law discriminates against people from out of state regarding fundamental rights ( e.g. protection by the government of the enjoyment of life , and liberty , the right to acquire and possess property of every kind , and to pursue and obtain happiness and safety ) . These rights often focus on the economic right to pursue a livelihood . The second part of the test focuses on whether the state is justified in the discrimination . It examines if there is a substantial reason for the difference in treatment , and if the discriminatory law has a substantial relationship to that reason . For example , the Court has asked : `` Does the distinction made by Montana between residents and nonresidents in establishing access to elk hunting threaten a basic right in a way that offends the Privileges and Immunities Clause ? '' See Baldwin v. Fish and Game Commission of Montana 436 U.S. 371 ( 1978 ) . The court held it did not , because hunting is a recreational sport , which is outside the fundamental rights protected by the Constitution . If the court had found that recreation and sports were fundamental rights , it would have still had to examine whether the state had a compelling interest ( protecting elk herds from being over-hunted ) , and whether the law was designed to address that problem . The Court 's decision in the Slaughterhouse Cases ( 1873 ) is consistent with the idea that the Privileges and Immunities Clause was intended only to guarantee that a citizen of one state could enjoy equality in another state , with regard to fundamental rights . Referring to the words of Justice Washington in Corfield , the Slaughterhouse Court stated : ( P ) rivileges and immunities ... are , in the language of Judge Washington , those rights which are fundamental . Throughout his opinion , they are spoken of as rights belonging to the individual as a citizen of a State ... The constitutional provision there alluded to did not create those rights ... It threw around them in that clause no security for the citizen of the State in which they were claimed or exercised . Nor did it profess to control the power of the State governments over the rights of its own citizens . Its sole purpose was to declare to the several States , that whatever those rights , as you grant or establish them to your own citizens , or as you limit or qualify , or impose restrictions on their exercise , the same , neither more nor less , shall be the measure of the rights of citizens of other States within your jurisdiction . ( emphasis added ) The Supreme Court has never interpreted the Privileges and Immunities Clause as requiring any state to protect general rights of citizenship beyond those that the state already protects for its own citizens , though even a state 's own citizens must be allowed to leave the state in order to enjoy privileges and immunities in any other state . Right to travel ( edit ) The Privileges and Immunities Clause says that a citizen of one state is entitled to the privileges in another state , from which a right to travel to that other state may be inferred . Indeed , in the 1982 case of Zobel v Williams , a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court agreed that the Privileges and Immunities Clause plausibly includes a right of interstate travel . In that case , Justice Sandra Day O'Connor explained : Article IV 's Privileges and Immunities Clause has enjoyed a long association with the rights to travel and migrate interstate . The Clause derives from Art . IV of the Articles of Confederation . The latter expressly recognized a right of `` free ingress and regress to and from any other State , '' in addition to guaranteeing `` the free inhabitants of each of these states ... ( the ) privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States . '' While the Framers of our Constitution omitted the reference to `` free ingress and regress , '' they retained the general guaranty of `` privileges and immunities . '' Charles Pinckney , who drafted the current version of Art . IV , told the Convention that this Article was `` formed exactly upon the principles of the 4th article of the present Confederation . '' Commentators , therefore , have assumed that the Framers omitted the express guaranty merely because it was redundant , not because they wished to excise the right from the Constitution . Early opinions by the Justices of this Court also traced a right to travel or migrate interstate to Art . IV 's Privileges and Immunities Clause ... Similarly , in Paul v. Virginia , the Court found that one of the `` undoubt ( ed ) '' effects of the Clause was to give `` the citizens of each State ... the right of free ingress into other States , and egress from them ... '' Despite scholarly and judicial opinions acknowledging that the Privileges and Immunities Clause may include a right to travel , the issue is not without controversy . Miscellaneous ( edit ) Unlike the Dormant Commerce Clause , there is no market participant exception to the Privileges and Immunities Clause . That means that even when a state is acting as a producer or supplier for a marketable good or service , the Privileges and Immunities Clause may prevent it from discriminating against non-residents . Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship by the Jones -- Shafroth Act in 1917 ; subsequently , the U.S. Congress passed a law ( signed by President Truman in 1947 ) which expressly extended this constitutional clause to the U.S. citizens in the jurisdiction of Puerto Rico : The rights , privileges , and immunities of citizens of the United States shall be respected in Puerto Rico to the same extent as though Puerto Rico were a State of the Union and subject to the provisions of paragraph 1 of section 2 of article IV of the Constitution of the United States . In the 1970s the Supreme Court began to recognize the application to Puerto Rico of several Constitutional protections contained in the Bill of Rights . In its opinions , the Court , without elaborating , relied on the insular cases of Downes and Balzac as precedent for the application of these constitutional rights .

The Chief Justice is one of nine Supreme Court justices ; the other eight have the title of Associate Justice . The Chief Justice , as the highest judicial officer in the country , serves as a spokesperson for the federal government 's judicial branch and acts as a chief administrative officer for the federal courts . The Chief Justice is also head of the Judicial Conference of the United States and , in that capacity , appoints the director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts . By law , the Chief Justice is also a member of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution and , by custom , is elected chancellor of the board . The Chief Justice leads the business of the Supreme Court and presides over oral arguments . When the court renders an opinion , the Chief Justice -- when in the majority -- decides who writes the court 's opinion . The Chief Justice also has significant agenda - setting power over the court 's meetings . In the case of an impeachment of a President of the United States , which has occurred twice , the Chief Justice presides over the trial in the U.S. Senate . Additionally , the presidential oath of office is typically administered by the Chief Justice ( although the Constitution does not assign this duty to anyone in particular ) . Since the Supreme Court was established in 1789 , 17 persons have served as chief justice . The first was John Jay ( 1789 -- 1795 ) . The current chief justice is John Roberts ( since 2005 ) . Four -- Edward Douglass White , Charles Evans Hughes , Harlan Fiske Stone , and William Rehnquist -- were previously confirmed for associate justice and subsequently confirmed for chief justice separately . Contents 1 Origin , title , and appointment to office 2 Duties 2.1 Impeachment trials 2.2 Seniority 2.3 Oath of office 2.4 Other duties 3 Disability or vacancy 4 List of Chief Justices 4.1 Notes 5 See also 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Origin , title , and appointment to office ( edit ) John Jay , by Gilbert Stuart The United States Constitution does not explicitly establish an office of Chief Justice , but presupposes its existence with a single reference in Article I , Section 3 , Clause 6 : `` When the President of the United States is tried , the Chief Justice shall preside . '' Nothing more is said in the Constitution regarding the office . Article III , Section 1 , which authorizes the establishment of the Supreme Court , refers to all members of the Court simply as `` judges . '' The Judiciary Act of 1789 created the distinctive titles of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States . In 1866 , at the urging of Salmon P. Chase , Congress restyled the chief justice 's title to the current Chief Justice of the United States . The first person whose Supreme Court commission contained the modified title was Melville Fuller in 1888 . The associate justices ' title was not altered in 1866 , and remains as originally created . The chief justice , like all federal judges , is nominated by the President and confirmed to office by the U.S. Senate . Article III , Section 1 of the Constitution specifies that they `` shall hold their Offices during good Behavior '' . This language means that the appointments are effectively for life , and that , once in office , a justice 's tenure ends only when they die , retire , resign , or are removed from office through the impeachment process . Since 1789 , 15 presidents have made a total of 22 official nominations to the position . The salary of the chief justice is set by Congress ; the current ( 2018 ) annual salary is $267,000 , which is slightly higher than that of associate justices , which is $255,300 . The practice of appointing an individual to serve as chief justice is grounded in tradition ; while the Constitution mandates that there be a chief justice , it is silent on the subject of how one is chosen and by whom . There is no specific constitutional prohibition against using another method to select the chief justice from among those justices properly appointed and confirmed to the Supreme Court . Constitutional law scholar Todd Pettys has proposed that presidential appointment of chief justices should be done away with , and replaced by a process that permits the Justices to select their own chief justice . Three incumbent associate justices have been nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate as chief justice : Edward Douglass White in 1910 , Harlan Fiske Stone in 1941 , and William Rehnquist in 1986 . A fourth , Abe Fortas , was nominated to the position in 1968 , but was not confirmed . As an associate justice does not have to resign his or her seat on the Court in order to be nominated as chief justice , Fortas remained an associate justice . Similarly , when associate justice William Cushing was nominated and confirmed as chief justice in January 1796 , but declined the office , he too remained on the Court . Two former associate justices subsequently returned to service on the Court as chief justice . John Rutledge was the first . President Washington gave him a recess appointment in 1795 . However , his subsequent nomination to the office was not confirmed by the Senate , and he left office and the Court . In 1933 , former associate justice Charles Evans Hughes was confirmed as chief justice . Additionally , in December 1800 , former chief justice John Jay was nominated and confirmed to the position a second time , but ultimately declined it ; opening the way for the appointment of John Marshall . Duties ( edit ) Along with his general responsibilities as a member of the Supreme Court , the Chief Justice has several unique duties to fulfill . Impeachment trials ( edit ) Article I , section 3 of the U.S. Constitution stipulates that the Chief Justice shall preside over impeachment trials of the President of the United States in the U.S. Senate . Two Chief Justices , Salmon P. Chase and William Rehnquist , have presided over the trial in the Senate that follows an impeachment of the president -- Chase in 1868 over the proceedings against President Andrew Johnson and Rehnquist in 1999 over the proceedings against President Bill Clinton . Both presidents were subsequently acquitted . Seniority ( edit ) John Marshall , the fourth and longest serving Chief Justice . Many of the procedures and inner workings of the Court turn on the seniority of the justices . Traditionally , the chief justice has been regarded as primus inter pares ( first among equals ) -- that is , the chief justice is the highest - ranking and foremost member of the Court , regardless of that officeholder 's length of service when compared against that of any associate justice . This seniority and added prestige enables a chief justice to define the Court 's culture and norms and , thus , influence how it functions . The chief justice sets the agenda for the weekly meetings where the justices review the petitions for certiorari , to decide whether to hear or deny each case . The Supreme Court agrees to hear less than one percent of the cases petitioned to it . While associate justices may append items to the weekly agenda , in practice this initial agenda - setting power of the chief justice has significant influence over the direction of the court . Nonetheless , a chief justice 's influence may be limited by circumstances and the associate justices ' understanding of legal principles ; it is definitely limited by the fact that he has only a single vote of nine on the decision whether to grant or deny certiorari . Despite the chief justice 's elevated stature , his vote carries the same legal weight as the vote of each associate justice . Additionally , he has no legal authority to overrule the verdicts or interpretations of the other eight judges or tamper with them . The task of assigning who shall write the opinion for the majority falls to the most senior justice in the majority . Thus , when the chief justice is in the majority , he always assigns the opinion . Early in his tenure , Chief Justice John Marshall insisted upon holdings which the justices could unanimously back as a means to establish and build the Court 's national prestige . In doing so , Marshall would often write the opinions himself , and actively discouraged dissenting opinions . Associate Justice William Johnson eventually persuaded Marshall and the rest of the Court to adopt its present practice : one justice writes an opinion for the majority , and the rest are free to write their own separate opinions or not , whether concurring or dissenting . The chief justice 's formal prerogative -- when in the majority -- to assign which justice will write the Court 's opinion is perhaps his most influential power , as this enables him to influence the historical record . He `` may assign this task to the individual justice best able to hold together a fragile coalition , to an ideologically amenable colleague , or to himself . '' Opinion authors can have a big influence on the content of an opinion ; two justices in the same majority , given the opportunity , might write very different majority opinions . A chief justice who knows well the associate justices can therefore do much -- by the simple act of selecting the justice who writes the opinion of the court -- to affect the general character or tone of an opinion , which in turn can affect the interpretation of that opinion in cases before lower courts in the years to come . Additionally , the chief justice chairs the conferences where cases are discussed and tentatively voted on by the justices . He normally speaks first and so has influence in framing the discussion . Although the chief justice votes first -- the Court votes in order of seniority -- he may strategically pass in order to ensure membership in the majority if desired . It is reported that : Chief Justice Warren Burger was renowned , and even vilified in some quarters , for voting strategically during conference discussions on the Supreme Court in order to control the Court 's agenda through opinion assignment . Indeed , Burger is said to have often changed votes to join the majority coalition , cast `` phony votes '' by voting against his preferred position , and declined to express a position at conference . Oath of office ( edit ) The Chief Justice typically administers the oath of office at the inauguration of the President of the United States . This is a tradition , rather than a constitutional responsibility of the Chief Justice ; the Constitution does not require that the oath be administered by anyone in particular , simply that it be taken by the president . Law empowers any federal and state judge , as well as notaries public ( such as John Calvin Coolidge , Sr . ) , to administer oaths and affirmations . William Rehnquist ( left ) takes the oath as Chief Justice from retiring Chief Justice Warren E. Burger in 1986 , as his wife , Natalie , holds the Bible and President Ronald Reagan ( far right ) looks on . If the Chief Justice is ill or incapacitated , the oath is usually administered by the next senior member of the Supreme Court . Seven times , someone other than the Chief Justice of the United States administered the oath of office to the President . Robert Livingston , as Chancellor of the State of New York ( the state 's highest ranking judicial office ) , administered the oath of office to George Washington at his first inauguration ; there was no Chief Justice of the United States , nor any other federal judge prior to their appointments by President Washington in the months following his inauguration . William Cushing , an associate justice of the Supreme Court , administered Washington 's second oath of office in 1793 . Calvin Coolidge 's father , a notary public , administered the oath to his son after the death of Warren Harding . This , however , was contested upon Coolidge 's return to Washington and his oath was re-administered by Judge Adolph A. Hoehling , Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia . John Tyler and Millard Fillmore were both sworn in on the death of their predecessors by Chief Justice William Cranch of the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia . Chester A. Arthur and Theodore Roosevelt 's initial oaths reflected the unexpected nature of their taking office . On November 22 , 1963 , after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy , Judge Sarah T. Hughes , a federal district court judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas , administered the oath of office to then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson aboard the presidential airplane . In addition , the Chief Justice ordinarily administers the oath of office to newly appointed and confirmed associate justices , whereas the senior associate justice will normally swear in a new Chief Justice or vice president . Other duties ( edit ) Since the tenure of William Howard Taft , the office of the Chief Justice has moved beyond just first among equals . The Chief Justice also : Serves as the head of the federal judiciary . Serves as the head of the Judicial Conference of the United States , the chief administrative body of the United States federal courts . The Judicial Conference is empowered by the Rules Enabling Act to propose rules , which are then promulgated by the Supreme Court ( subject to disapproval by Congress under the Congressional Review Act ) , to ensure the smooth operation of the federal courts . Major portions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Evidence have been adopted by most state legislatures and are considered canonical by American law schools . Appoints sitting federal judges to the membership of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ( FISC ) , a `` secret court '' which oversees requests for surveillance warrants by federal police agencies ( primarily the F.B.I. ) against suspected foreign intelligence agents inside the United States . ( see 50 U.S.C. § 1803 ) . Appoints the members of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation , a special tribunal of seven sitting federal judges responsible for selecting the venue for coordinated pretrial proceedings in situations where multiple related federal actions have been filed in different judicial districts . Serves ex officio as a member of the Board of Regents , and by custom as the Chancellor , of the Smithsonian Institution . Supervises the acquisition of books for the Law Library of the Library of Congress . Unlike Senators and Representatives who are constitutionally prohibited from holding any other `` office of trust or profit '' of the United States or of any state while holding their congressional seats , the Chief Justice and the other members of the federal judiciary are not barred from serving in other positions . Chief Justice John Jay served as a diplomat to negotiate the so - called Jay Treaty ( also known as the Treaty of London of 1794 ) , Justice Robert H. Jackson was appointed by President Truman to be the U.S. Prosecutor in the Nuremberg trials of leading Nazis , and Chief Justice Earl Warren chaired The President 's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy . As described above , the Chief Justice holds office in the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of Congress . Disability or vacancy ( edit ) Under 28 USC , when the Chief Justice is unable to discharge his functions , or that office is vacant , the duties are carried out by the most senior associate justice who is able to act , until the disability or vacancy ends , as chief justice . Clarence Thomas is the most senior associate justice .

Glade jul by Viggo Johansen ( 1891 ) A young woman decorates the Christmas tree , painting by Marcel Rieder ( 1862 -- 1942 ) from 1898 Christmas tree in Bethlehem , behind it Church of the Nativity , 2014 A Christmas tree is a decorated tree , usually an evergreen conifer such as spruce , pine , or fir or an artificial tree of similar appearance , associated with the celebration of Christmas . The modern Christmas tree was developed in medieval Livonia ( present - day Estonia and Latvia ) and early modern Germany , where Protestant Germans brought decorated trees into their homes . It acquired popularity beyond the Lutheran areas of Germany and the Baltic countries during the second half of the 19th century , at first among the upper classes . The tree was traditionally decorated with `` roses made of colored paper , apples , wafers , tinsel , ( and ) sweetmeats '' . In the 18th century , it began to be illuminated by candles , which were ultimately replaced by Christmas lights after the advent of electrification . Today , there is a wide variety of traditional ornaments , such as garlands , baubles , tinsel , and candy canes . An angel or star might be placed at the top of the tree to represent the Angel Gabriel or the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity . Edible items such as gingerbread , chocolate and other sweets are also popular and are tied to or hung from the tree 's branches with ribbons . In the Western Christian tradition , Christmas trees are variously erected on days such as the first day of Advent or even as late as Christmas Eve depending on the country ; customs of the same faith hold that the two traditional days when Christmas decorations , such as the Christmas tree , are removed are Twelfth Night and , if they are not taken down on that day , Candlemas , the latter of which ends the Christmas - Epiphany season in some denominations . The Christmas tree is sometimes compared with the `` Yule - tree '' , especially in discussions of its folkloric origins .

Painted by Oluf Olufsen Bagge . The relevance of ancient pre-Christian customs to the 16th - century German initiation of the Christmas tree custom is disputed . Resistance to the custom was often because of its supposed Lutheran origins . Other sources have offered a connection between the first documented Christmas trees in Alsace around 1600 and pre-Christian traditions . For example , according to the Encyclopædia Britannica , `` The use of evergreen trees , wreaths , and garlands to symbolize eternal life was a custom of the ancient Egyptians , Chinese , and Hebrews . Tree worship was common among the pagan Europeans and survived their conversion to Christianity in the Scandinavian customs of decorating the house and barn with evergreens at the New Year to scare away the devil and of setting up a tree for the birds during Christmas time . '' During the Roman mid-winter festival of Saturnalia , houses were decorated with wreaths of evergreen plants , along with other antecedent customs now associated with Christmas . The modern Christmas tree is frequently traced to the symbolism of trees in pre-Christian winter rites , wherein Viking and Saxon worshiped trees . The story of Saint Boniface cutting down Donar 's Oak illustrates the pagan practices in 8th century among the Germans . A later folk version of the story adds the detail that an evergreen tree grew in place of the felled oak , telling them about how its triangular shape reminds humanity of the Trinity and how it points to heaven . Alternatively , it is identified with the `` tree of paradise '' of medieval mystery plays that were given on 24 December , the commemoration and name day of Adam and Eve in various countries . In such plays , a tree decorated with apples ( to represent the forbidden fruit ) and wafers ( to represent the Eucharist and redemption ) was used as a setting for the play . Like the Christmas crib , the Paradise tree was later placed in homes . The apples were replaced by round objects such as shiny red balls . At the end of the Middle Ages , an early predecessor appears referred in the Regiment of the Order of Cister around 1400 , in Alcobaça , Portugal . The Regiment of the local high - Sacristans of the Cistercian Order refers to what may be considered one of the oldest references to the Christmas tree : `` Note on how to put the Christmas branch , scilicet : On the Christmas eve , you will look for a large Branch of green laurel , and you shall reap many red oranges , and place them on the branches that come of the laurel , specifically as you have seen , and in every orange you shall put a candle , and hang the Branch by a rope in the pole , which shall be by the candle of the altar - mor . '' Modern Christmas trees originated during the Renaissance of early modern Germany . Its 16th - century origins are sometimes associated with Protestant Christian reformer Martin Luther , who is said to have first added lighted candles to an evergreen tree . The first recorded Christmas tree can be found on the keystone sculpture of a private home in Turckheim , Alsace ( then part of Germany , today France ) , dating 1576 . Georgia ( edit ) Chichilaki , a Georgian Christmas tree variety Georgians have their own traditional Christmas tree called Chichilaki , made from dried up hazelnut or walnut branches that are shaped to form a small coniferous tree . These pale - colored ornaments differ in height from 20 cm ( 7.9 in ) to 3 meters ( 9.8 feet ) . Chichilakis are most common in the Guria and Samegrelo regions of Georgia near the Black Sea , but they can also be found in some stores around the capital of Tbilisi . Georgians believe that Chichilaki resembles the famous beard of St. Basil the Great , because Eastern Orthodox Church commemorates St. Basil on January 1 . Poland ( edit ) There was an old pagan custom , associated with Koliada , of suspending a branch of fir , spruce or pine called Podłaźniczka from the ceiling . The branches were decorated with apples , nuts , cookies , colored paper , stars made of straw , ribbons and colored wafers . Some people believed that the tree had magical powers that were linked with harvesting and success in the next year . In the late 18th and early 19th century , these traditions were almost completely replaced by the German custom of decorating the Christmas tree . Estonia , Latvia and Germany ( edit ) Girl with Christmas tree , painting 1892 by Franz Skarbina ( 1849 -- 1910 ) Customs of erecting decorated trees in wintertime can be traced to Christmas celebrations in Renaissance - era guilds in Northern Germany and Livonia . The first evidence of decorated trees associated with Christmas Day are trees in guildhalls decorated with sweets to be enjoyed by the apprentices and children . In Livonia ( present - day Estonia and Latvia ) , in 1441 , 1442 , 1510 and 1514 , the Brotherhood of Blackheads erected a tree for the holidays in their guild houses in Reval ( now Tallinn ) and Riga . On the last night of the celebrations leading up to the holidays , the tree was taken to the Town Hall Square , where the members of the brotherhood danced around it . A Bremen guild chronicle of 1570 reports that a small tree decorated with `` apples , nuts , dates , pretzels and paper flowers '' was erected in the guild - house for the benefit of the guild members ' children , who collected the dainties on Christmas Day . In 1584 , the pastor and chronicler Balthasar Russow in his Chronica der Provinz Lyfflandt ( 1584 ) wrote of an established tradition of setting up a decorated spruce at the market square , where the young men `` went with a flock of maidens and women , first sang and danced there and then set the tree aflame '' . After the Protestant Reformation , such trees are seen in the houses of upper - class Protestant families as a counterpart to the Catholic Christmas cribs . This transition from the guild hall to the bourgeois family homes in the Protestant parts of Germany ultimately gives rise to the modern tradition as it developed in the 18th and 19th centuries . 18th to early 20th centuries ( edit ) Germany ( edit ) A little Christmas tree on the table , painting by Ludwig Blume - Siebert in 1888 By the early 18th century , the custom had become common in towns of the upper Rhineland , but it had not yet spread to rural areas . Wax candles , expensive items at the time , are found in attestations from the late 18th century . Along the lower Rhine , an area of Roman Catholic majority , the Christmas tree was largely regarded as a Protestant custom . As a result , it remained confined to the upper Rhineland for a relatively long period of time . The custom did eventually gain wider acceptance beginning around 1815 by way of Prussian officials who emigrated there following the Congress of Vienna . In the 19th century , the Christmas tree was taken to be an expression of German culture and of Gemütlichkeit , especially among emigrants overseas . A decisive factor in winning general popularity was the German army 's decision to place Christmas trees in its barracks and military hospitals during the Franco - Prussian War . Only at the start of the 20th century did Christmas trees appear inside churches , this time in a new brightly lit form . Adoption by European nobility ( edit ) Christmas tree painting 1877 by H.J. Overbeek In the early 19th century , the custom became popular among the nobility and spread to royal courts as far as Russia . Princess Henrietta of Nassau - Weilburg introduced the Christmas tree to Vienna in 1816 , and the custom spread across Austria in the following years . In France , the first Christmas tree was introduced in 1840 by the duchesse d'Orléans . In Denmark a Danish newspaper claims that the first attested Christmas tree was lit in 1808 by countess Wilhemine of Holsteinborg . It was the aging countess who told the story of the first Danish Christmas tree to the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen in 1865 . He had published a fairy - tale called The Fir - Tree in 1844 , recounting the fate of a fir - tree being used as a Christmas tree . Britain ( edit ) An engraving published in the 1840s of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert created a craze for Christmas trees . The Christmas Tree 1911 by Albert Chevallier Tayler Although the tradition of decorating the home with evergreens was long established , the custom of decorating an entire small tree was unknown in Britain until some two centuries ago . At the time of the personal union with Hanover , George III 's German - born wife , Charlotte of Mecklenburg - Strelitz , introduced a Christmas tree at a party she gave for children in 1800 . The custom did not at first spread much beyond the royal family . Queen Victoria as a child was familiar with it and a tree was placed in her room every Christmas . In her journal for Christmas Eve 1832 , the delighted 13 - year - old princess wrote : After dinner ... we then went into the drawing - room near the dining - room ... There were two large round tables on which were placed two trees hung with lights and sugar ornaments . All the presents being placed round the trees ... After Victoria 's marriage to her German cousin Prince Albert , by 1841 the custom became even more widespread as wealthier middle - class families followed the fashion . In 1842 a newspaper advert for Christmas trees makes clear their smart cachet , German origins and association with children and gift - giving . An illustrated book , The Christmas Tree , describing their use and origins in detail , was on sale in December 1844 . On 2 January 1846 Elizabeth Fielding ( née Fox Strangways ) wrote from Laycock Abbey to William Henry Fox - Talbot : `` Constance is extremely busy preparing the Bohemian Xmas Tree . It is made from Caroline 's description of those she saw in Germany '' . In 1847 Prince Albert wrote : `` I must now seek in the children an echo of what Ernest ( his brother ) and I were in the old time , of what we felt and thought ; and their delight in the Christmas - trees is not less than ours used to be '' . A boost to the trend was given in 1848 when The Illustrated London News , in a report picked up by other papers , described the trees in Windsor Castle in detail and showed the main tree , surrounded by the royal family , on its cover . In fewer than ten years their use in better - off homes was widespread . By 1856 a northern provincial newspaper contained an advert alluding casually to them , as well as reporting the accidental death of a woman whose dress caught fire as she lit the tapers on a Christmas tree . They had not yet spread down the social scale though , as a report from Berlin in 1858 contrasts the situation there where `` Every family has its own '' with that of Britain , where Christmas trees were still the preserve of the wealthy or the `` romantic '' . Their use at public entertainments , charity bazaars and in hospitals made them increasingly familiar however , and in 1906 a charity was set up specifically to ensure even poor children in London slums ' who had never seen a Christmas tree ' would enjoy one that year . Anti-German sentiment after World War I briefly reduced their popularity but the effect was short - lived and by the mid-1920s the use of Christmas trees had spread to all classes . In 1933 a restriction on the importation of foreign trees led to the `` rapid growth of a new industry '' as the growing of Christmas trees within Britain became commercially viable due to the size of demand . By 2013 the number of trees grown in Britain for the Christmas market was approximately 8 million and their display in homes , shops and public spaces a normal part of the Christmas season . North America ( edit ) First published image of a Christmas tree , frontispiece to Hermann Bokum 's 1836 The Stranger 's Gift The Queen 's Christmas tree at Windsor Castle published in The Illustrated London News , 1848 The tradition was introduced to North America in the winter of 1781 by Hessian soldiers stationed in the Province of Québec ( 1763 -- 1791 ) to garrison the colony against American attack . General Friedrich Adolf Riedesel and his wife , the Baroness von Riedesel , held a Christmas party for the officers at Sorel , delighting their guests with a fir tree decorated with candles and fruits . The Christmas tree became very common in the United States in the early nineteenth century . The first image of a Christmas tree was published in 1836 as the frontispiece to The Stranger 's Gift by Hermann Bokum . The first mention of the Christmas tree in American literature was in a story in the 1836 edition of The Token and Atlantic Souvenir , titled `` New Year 's Day , '' by Catherine Maria Sedgwick , where she tells the story of a German maid decorating her mistress 's tree . Also , a woodcut of the British Royal family with their Christmas tree at Windsor Castle , initially published in The Illustrated London News December 1848 , was copied in the United States at Christmas 1850 , in Godey 's Lady 's Book . Godey 's copied it exactly , except for the removal of the Queen 's tiara and Prince Albert 's moustache , to remake the engraving into an American scene . The republished Godey 's image became the first widely circulated picture of a decorated evergreen Christmas tree in America . Art historian Karal Ann Marling called Prince Albert and Queen Victoria , shorn of their royal trappings , `` the first influential American Christmas tree '' . Folk - culture historian Alfred Lewis Shoemaker states , `` In all of America there was no more important medium in spreading the Christmas tree in the decade 1850 -- 60 than Godey 's Lady 's Book '' . The image was reprinted in 1860 , and by the 1870s , putting up a Christmas tree had become even more common in America . Several cities in the United States with German connections lay claim to that country 's first Christmas tree : Windsor Locks , Connecticut , claims that a Hessian soldier put up a Christmas tree in 1777 while imprisoned at the Noden - Reed House , while the `` First Christmas Tree in America '' is also claimed by Easton , Pennsylvania , where German settlers purportedly erected a Christmas tree in 1816 . In his diary , Matthew Zahm of Lancaster , Pennsylvania , recorded the use of a Christmas tree in 1821 , leading Lancaster to also lay claim to the first Christmas tree in America . Other accounts credit Charles Follen , a German immigrant to Boston , for being the first to introduce to America the custom of decorating a Christmas tree . August Imgard , a German immigrant living in Wooster , Ohio , is said to be the first to popularize the practice of decorating a tree with candy canes . In 1847 , Imgard cut a blue spruce tree from a woods outside town , had the Wooster village tinsmith construct a star , and placed the tree in his house , decorating it with paper ornaments , gilded nuts and Kuchen . German immigrant Charles Minnegerode accepted a position as a professor of humanities at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg , Virginia , in 1842 , where he taught Latin and Greek . Entering into the social life of the Virginia Tidewater , Minnigerode introduced the German custom of decorating an evergreen tree at Christmas at the home of law professor St. George Tucker , thereby becoming another of many influences that prompted Americans to adopt the practice at about that time . An 1853 article on Christmas customs in Pennsylvania defines them as mostly `` German in origin '' , including the Christmas tree , which is `` planted in a flower pot filled with earth , and its branches are covered with presents , chiefly of confectionary , for the younger members of the family . '' The article distinguishes between customs in different states however , claiming that in New England generally `` Christmas is not much celebrated '' , whereas in Pennsylvania and New York it is . When Edward H. Johnson was vice president of the Edison Electric Light Company , a predecessor of Con Edison , he created the first known electrically illuminated Christmas tree at his home in New York City in 1882 . Johnson became the `` Father of Electric Christmas Tree Lights '' . The lyrics sung in the United States to the German tune O Tannenbaum begin `` O Christmas tree ... '' , giving rise to the mistaken idea that the German word Tannenbaum ( fir tree ) means `` Christmas tree '' , the German word for which is instead Weihnachtsbaum . 18th to early 20th century representations The Christmas tree by Winslow Homer , 1858 Christmas in the Netherlands , c. 1899 Illustration for Harper 's Bazaar , published 1 January 1870 .

It became a fully secular icon of the New Year holiday , for example , the crowning star was regarded not as a symbol of Bethlehem Star , but as the Red star . Decorations , such as figurines of airplanes , bicycles , space rockets , cosmonauts , and characters of Russian fairy tales , were produced . This tradition persists after the fall of the USSR , with the New Year holiday outweighing the Christmas ( 7 January ) for a wide majority of Russian people . The TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas ( 1965 ) was influential on the pop culture surrounding the Christmas tree . Aluminum Christmas trees were popular during the early 1960s in the US . They were satirized in the Charlie Brown show and came to be seen as symbolizing the commercialization of Christmas . The term Charlie Brown Christmas tree , describing any poor - looking or malformed little tree , also derives from the 1965 TV special , based on the appearance of Charlie Brown 's Christmas tree . 1935 to present Christmas tree with presents Christmas Tree in the cozy room at the Wisconsin Governor 's mansion .

The use of fire retardant allows many indoor public areas to place real trees and be compliant with code . Licensed applicants of fire retardant solution spray the tree , tag the tree , and provide a certificate for inspection . Real trees are popular with high end visual merchandising displays around the world . Leading global retailers such as Apple often place real trees in their window displays . In 2009 , Apple placed two Fraser fir trees in every one of its retail establishments . The United States ' National Christmas Tree has been lit each year since 1923 on the South Lawn of the White House . Today , the lighting of the National Christmas Tree is part of what has become a major holiday event at the White House . President Jimmy Carter lit only the crowning star atop the tree in 1979 in honor of the Americans being held hostage in Iran . The same was true in 1980 , except that the tree was fully lit for 417 seconds , one second for each day the hostages had been in captivity . During most of the 1970s and 1980s , the largest decorated Christmas tree in the world was put up every year on the property of the National Enquirer in Lantana , Florida . This tradition grew into one of the most spectacular and celebrated events in the history of southern Florida , but was discontinued on the death of the paper 's founder in the late 1980s . In some cities , a charity event called the Festival of Trees is organized , in which multiple trees are decorated and displayed . The giving of Christmas trees has also often been associated with the end of hostilities . After the signing of the Armistice in 1918 the city of Manchester sent a tree , and £ 500 to buy chocolate and cakes , for the children of the much - bombarded town of Lille in northern France . In some cases the trees represent special commemorative gifts , such as in Trafalgar Square in London , where the City of Oslo , Norway presents a tree to the people of London as a token of appreciation for the British support of Norwegian resistance during the Second World War ; in Boston , where the tree is a gift from the province of Nova Scotia , in thanks for rapid deployment of supplies and rescuers to the 1917 ammunition ship explosion that leveled the city of Halifax ; and in Newcastle upon Tyne , where the main civic Christmas tree is an annual gift from the city of Bergen , in thanks for the part played by soldiers from Newcastle in liberating Bergen from Nazi occupation . Norway also annually gifts a Christmas tree to Washington , D.C. as a symbol of friendship between Norway and the US and as an expression of gratitude from Norway for the help received from the US during World War II .

First introduced by North American Lutherans in 1957 , the practice has rapidly spread to other Christian denominations , including Anglicans , Catholics , Methodists , and the Reformed . `` Chrismon '' ( plural `` Chrismons '' ) was adopted for the type of Christmas decoration and explained as a portmanteau of `` Christ - monogram '' ( a Christogram ) .

Traditionally , Christmas trees were not brought in and decorated until Christmas Eve ( 24 December ) or , in the traditions celebrating Christmas Eve rather than the first day of Christmas , 23 December , and then removed the day after Twelfth Night ( 5 January ) ; to have a tree up before or after these dates was even considered bad luck , and that to avoid bad luck from affecting the house 's residents , the tree must be left up until after the following Twelfth Night passes . In many areas , it has become customary to set up one 's Christmas tree at the beginning of the Advent season . Some families in the U.S. and Canada will put up a Christmas tree a week prior to American Thanksgiving ( the fourth Thursday of November ) , and Christmas decorations can show up even earlier in retail stores , often the day after Halloween ( 31 October ) . In Canada many families wait until after Remembrance Day , as to show respect to fallen soldiers . Some households do not put up the tree until the second week of December , and leave it up until 6 January ( Epiphany ) . In Germany , traditionally the tree is put up on 24 December and taken down on 7 January , though many start one or two weeks earlier , and in Roman Catholic homes the tree may be kept until February 2 ( Candlemas ) . In Italy , Ireland and Argentina , along with many countries in Latin America , the Christmas tree is put up on 8 December ( Immaculate Conception day ) and left up until 6 January . In Australia , the Christmas tree is usually put up on 1 December , which occurs about a 2 weeks before the school summer holidays ( except for South Australia , where most people put up their tree after in late November following the completion of the Adelaide Christmas Pageant , a time frame that has started to filter into other states as the official time Christmas decorations and in store Santa Claus start to appear ) and is left up until it is taken down . Some traditions suggest that Christmas trees may be kept up until no later than 2 February , the feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple ( Candlemas ) , when the Christmas season effectively closes . Superstitions say that it is a bad sign if Christmas greenery is not removed by Candlemas Eve .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( December 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) White House Christmas tree Christmas ornaments at the Christmas market , Strasbourg Christmas ornaments are decorations ( usually made of glass , metal , wood , or ceramics ) that are used to decorate a Christmas tree . The first decorated trees were adorned with apples , white candy canes and pastries in the shapes of stars , hearts and flowers . Glass baubles were first made in Lauscha , Germany , and also garlands of glass beads and tin figures that could be hung on trees . The popularity of these decorations grew into the production of glass figures made by highly skilled artisans with clay molds . Tinsel and several types of garland or ribbon are commonly used to decorate a Christmas tree . Silvered saran - based tinsel was introduced later . Delicate mold - blown and painted colored glass Christmas ornaments were a specialty of the glass factories in the Thuringian Forest , especially in Lauscha in the late 19th century , and have since become a large industry , complete with famous - name designers . Baubles are another common decoration , consisting of small hollow glass or plastic spheres coated with a thin metallic layer to make them reflective , with a further coating of a thin pigmented polymer in order to provide coloration . Lighting with electric lights ( Christmas lights or , in the United Kingdom , fairy lights ) is commonly done . A tree - topper , sometimes an angel but more frequently a star , completes the decoration . In the late 1800s , home - made white Christmas trees were made by wrapping strips of cotton batting around leafless branches creating the appearance of a snow - laden tree . In the 1940s and 1950s , popularized by Hollywood films in the late 1930s , flocking was very popular on the West Coast of the United States . There were home flocking kits that could be used with vacuum cleaners . In the 1980s some trees were sprayed with fluffy white flocking to simulate snow .

In 1998 , there were about 15,000 growers in America ( a third of them `` choose and cut '' farms ) . In that same year , it was estimated that Americans spent $1.5 billion on Christmas trees . By 2016 that had climbed to $2.04 billion for natural trees and a further $1.86 billion for artificial trees . In Europe , 75 million trees worth € 2.4 billion ( $3.2 billion ) are harvested annually .

The tree must experience three frosts to stabilize the needles before cutting . Natural trees ( edit ) See also : Christmas tree cultivation The most commonly used species are fir ( Abies ) , which have the benefit of not shedding their needles when they dry out , as well as retaining good foliage color and scent ; but species in other genera are also used . In northern Europe most commonly used are : Norway spruce Picea abies ( the original tree , generally the cheapest ) Silver fir Abies alba Nordmann fir Abies nordmanniana Noble fir Abies procera Serbian spruce Picea omorika Scots pine Pinus sylvestris Stone pine Pinus pinea ( as small table - top trees ) Swiss pine Pinus cembra In North America , Central America and South America most commonly used are : Douglas fir Pseudotsuga menziesii Balsam fir Abies balsamea Fraser Fir Abies fraseri Grand fir Abies grandis Guatemalan fir Abies guatemalensis Noble fir Abies procera Red fir Abies magnifica White fir Abies concolor Pinyon pine Pinus edulis Jeffrey pine Pinus jeffreyi Scots pine Pinus sylvestris Stone pine Pinus pinea ( as small table - top trees ) Norfolk Island pine Araucaria heterophylla Several other species are used to a lesser extent . Less - traditional conifers are sometimes used , such as giant sequoia , Leyland cypress , Monterey cypress and eastern juniper . Various types of spruce tree are also used for Christmas trees ( including the blue spruce and , less commonly , the white spruce ) ; but spruces begin to lose their needles rapidly upon being cut , and spruce needles are often sharp , making decorating uncomfortable . Virginia pine is still available on some tree farms in the southeastern United States ; however , its winter color is faded . The long - needled eastern white pine is also used there , though it is an unpopular Christmas tree in most parts of the country , owing also to its faded winter coloration and limp branches , making decorating difficult with all but the lightest ornaments . Norfolk Island pine is sometimes used , particularly in Oceania , and in Australia , some species of the genera Casuarina and Allocasuarina are also occasionally used as Christmas trees . But , by far , the most common tree is the Monterey pine . Adenanthos sericeus or Albany woolly bush is commonly sold in southern Australia as a potted living Christmas tree . Hemlock species are generally considered unsuitable as Christmas trees due to their poor needle retention and inability to support the weight of lights and ornaments . Some trees , frequently referred to as `` living Christmas trees '' , are sold live with roots and soil , often from a plant nursery , to be stored at nurseries in planters or planted later outdoors and enjoyed ( and often decorated ) for years or decades . Others are produced in a container and sometimes as topiary for a porch or patio . However , when done improperly , the combination of root loss caused by digging , and the indoor environment of high temperature and low humidity is very detrimental to the tree 's health ; additionally , the warmth of an indoor climate will bring the tree out of its natural winter dormancy , leaving it little protection when put back outside into a cold outdoor climate . Often Christmas trees are a large attraction for living animals , including mice and spiders . Thus , the survival rate of these trees is low . However , when done properly , replanting provides higher survival rates . European tradition prefers the open aspect of naturally grown , unsheared trees , while in North America ( outside western areas where trees are often wild - harvested on public lands ) there is a preference for close - sheared trees with denser foliage , but less space to hang decorations . In the past , Christmas trees were often harvested from wild forests , but now almost all are commercially grown on tree farms . Almost all Christmas trees in the United States are grown on Christmas tree farms where they are cut after about ten years of growth and new trees planted . According to the United States Department of Agriculture 's agriculture census for 2007 , 21,537 farms were producing conifers for the cut Christmas tree market in America , 5,717.09 square kilometres ( 1,412,724 acres ) were planted in Christmas trees . A Christmas tree farm near New Germany , Nova Scotia , Canada . The life cycle of a Christmas tree from the seed to a 2 - metre ( 7 ft ) tree takes , depending on species and treatment in cultivation , between 8 and 12 years . First , the seed is extracted from cones harvested from older trees . These seeds are then usually grown in nurseries and then sold to Christmas tree farms at an age of 3 -- 4 years . The remaining development of the tree greatly depends on the climate , soil quality , as well as the cultivation and how the trees are tended by the Christmas tree farmer . Artificial trees ( edit ) Main article : Artificial Christmas tree An artificial Christmas tree A lighted artificial Christmas tree with ornaments The first artificial Christmas trees were developed in Germany during the 19th century , though earlier examples exist . These `` trees '' were made using goose feathers that were dyed green. , as one response by Germans to continued deforestation . Feather Christmas trees ranged widely in size , from a small 2 - inch ( 51 mm ) tree to a large 98 - inch ( 2,500 mm ) tree sold in department stores during the 1920s . Often , the tree branches were tipped with artificial red berries which acted as candle holders . Over the years , other styles of artificial Christmas trees have evolved and become popular . In 1930 , the U.S. - based Addis Brush Company created the first artificial Christmas tree made from brush bristles . Another type of artificial tree is the aluminum Christmas tree , first manufactured in Chicago in 1958 , and later in Manitowoc , Wisconsin , where the majority of the trees were produced . Most modern artificial Christmas trees are made from plastic recycled from used packaging materials , such as polyvinyl chloride ( PVC ) . Approximately 10 % of artificial Christmas trees are using virgin suspension PVC resin ; despite being plastic most artificial trees are not recyclable or biodegradable . Other trends have developed in the early 2000s as well . Optical fiber Christmas trees come in two major varieties ; one resembles a traditional Christmas tree . One Dallas - based company offers `` holographic mylar '' trees in many hues . Tree - shaped objects made from such materials as cardboard , glass , ceramic or other materials can be found in use as tabletop decorations . Upside - down artificial Christmas trees became popular for a short time and were originally introduced as a marketing gimmick ; they allowed consumers to get closer to ornaments for sale in retail stores and opened up floor space for more products . Artificial trees became increasingly popular during the late 20th century . Users of artificial Christmas trees assert that they are more convenient , and , because they are reusable , much cheaper than their natural alternative . They are also considered much safer as natural trees can be a significant fire hazard . Between 2001 and 2007 artificial Christmas tree sales in the U.S. jumped from 7.3 million to 17.4 million . Currently it is estimated that around 58 % of Christmas trees used in the United States are artificial while numbers in the United Kingdom are indicated to be around 66 % . Artificial trees A tree with fibre optic lights Christmas tree and presents Athens , Greece White Christmas tree Spanish artificial Christmas tree A chrismon tree ( St. Alban 's Anglican Cathedral , Oviedo , Florida ) An artificial Aluminum Christmas tree Artificial tree Environmental issues ( edit ) Poinsettia flowers arranged into the conical shape of a `` Christmas tree '' , topped with a `` Star of Bethlehem '' , in San Diego ( 2005 ) The debate about the environmental impact of artificial trees is ongoing . Generally , natural tree growers contend that artificial trees are more environmentally harmful than their natural counterparts . However , trade groups such as the American Christmas Tree Association , continue to refute that artificial trees are more harmful to the environment , and maintain that the PVC used in Christmas trees has excellent recyclable properties . Christmas tree recycling point ( point recyclage de sapins ) in Paris , 22 January 2010 Live trees are typically grown as a crop and replanted in rotation after cutting , often providing suitable habitat for wildlife . Alternately , live trees can be donated to livestock farmers of such animals like goats who find that such trees uncontaminated by chemical additives are excellent fodder . In some cases management of Christmas tree crops can result in poor habitat since it sometimes involves heavy input of pesticides . Concerns have been raised about people cutting down old and rare conifers , such as the Keteleeria evelyniana and Abies fraseri , for Christmas trees . Discarded trees curbside in North Hollywood , Los Angeles Real or cut trees are used only for a short time , but can be recycled and used as mulch , wildlife habitat , or used to prevent erosion . Real trees are carbon - neutral , they emit no more carbon dioxide by being cut down and disposed of than they absorb while growing . However , emissions can occur from farming activities and transportation . An independent life - cycle assessment study , conducted by a firm of experts in sustainable development , states that a natural tree will generate 3.1 kg ( 6.8 lb ) of greenhouse gases every year ( based on purchasing 5 km ( 3.1 miles ) from home ) whereas the artificial tree will produce 48.3 kg ( 106 lb ) over its lifetime . Some people use living Christmas or potted trees for several seasons , providing a longer life cycle for each tree . Living Christmas trees can be purchased or rented from local market growers . Rentals are picked up after the holidays , while purchased trees can be planted by the owner after use or donated to local tree adoption or urban reforestation services . Most artificial trees are made of recycled PVC rigid sheets using tin stabilizer in the recent years . In the past , lead was often used as a stabilizer in PVC , but is now banned by Chinese laws . The use of lead stabilizer in Chinese imported trees has been an issue of concern among politicians and scientists over recent years . A 2004 study found that while in general artificial trees pose little health risk from lead contamination , there do exist `` worst - case scenarios '' where major health risks to young children exist . A 2008 United States Environmental Protection Agency report found that as the PVC in artificial Christmas trees aged it began to degrade . The report determined that of the 50 million artificial trees in the United States approximately 20 million were 9 or more years old , the point where dangerous lead contamination levels are reached . A professional study on the life - cycle assessment of both real and artificial Christmas trees revealed that one must use an artificial Christmas tree at least 20 years to leave an environmental footprint as small as the natural Christmas tree . Religious issues ( edit ) A 1931 edition of the Soviet magazine Bezbozhnik , distributed by the League of Militant Atheists , depicting an Orthodox Christian priest being forbidden to cut down a tree for Christmas The Christmas tree was first used by German Lutherans in the 16th century , with records indicating that a Christmas tree was placed in the Cathedral of Strassburg in 1539 , under the leadership of the Protestant Reformer , Martin Bucer . In the United States , these `` German Lutherans brought the decorated Christmas tree with them ; the Moravians put lighted candles on those trees . '' When decorating the Christmas tree , many individuals place a star at the top of the tree symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem , a fact recorded by The School Journal in 1897 . Professor David Albert Jones of Oxford University writes that in the 19th century , it became popular for people to also use an angel to top the Christmas tree in order to symbolize the angels mentioned in the accounts of the Nativity of Jesus . Under the Marxist - Leninist doctrine of state atheism in the Soviet Union , after its foundation in 1917 , Christmas celebrations -- along with other religious holidays -- were prohibited as a result of the Soviet anti-religious campaign . The League of Militant Atheists encouraged school pupils to campaign against Christmas traditions , among them being the Christmas tree , as well as other Christian holidays , including Easter ; the League established an anti-religious holiday to be the 31st of each month as a replacement . With the Christmas tree being prohibited in accordance with Soviet anti-religious legislation , people supplanted the former Christmas custom with New Year 's trees . In 1935 the tree was brought back as New Year tree and became a secular , not a religious holiday . Pope John Paul II introduced the Christmas tree custom to the Vatican in 1982 . Although at first disapproved of by some as out of place at the centre of the Roman Catholic Church , the Vatican Christmas Tree has become an integral part of the Vatican Christmas celebrations , and in 2005 Pope Benedict XVI spoke of it as part of the normal Christmas decorations in Catholic homes . In 2004 , Pope John Paul called the Christmas tree a symbol of Christ . This very ancient custom , he said , exalts the value of life , as in winter what is evergreen becomes a sign of undying life , and it reminds Christians of the `` tree of life '' of Genesis 2 : 9 , an image of Christ , the supreme gift of God to humanity . In the previous year he said : `` Beside the crib , the Christmas tree , with its twinkling lights , reminds us that with the birth of Jesus the tree of life has blossomed anew in the desert of humanity . The crib and the tree : precious symbols , which hand down in time the true meaning of Christmas . '' The Catholic Church 's official Book of Blessings has a service for the blessing of the Christmas tree in a home . Likewise the Protestant Episcopal Church in The Anglican Family Prayer Book , which has the imprimatur of The Rt. Rev. Catherine S. Roskam of the Anglican Communion , has long had a ritual titled Blessing of a Christmas Tree , as well as Blessing of a Crèche , for use in the church and the home . In 2005 , the city of Boston renamed the spruce tree used to decorate the Boston Common a `` Holiday Tree '' rather than a `` Christmas Tree '' . The name change drew a poor response from the public and it was reversed after the city was threatened with several lawsuits . Chrismon trees are a variety developed in 1957 by a Lutheran laywoman in Virginia , as a specifically religious version appropriate for a church 's Christmas celebrations , although most Christian churches continue to display the traditional Christmas tree in their sanctuaries during Christmastide .

When nothing happened , Boniface pointed out a young fir tree amid the roots of the oak and explained how this tree was a more fitting object of reverence as it pointed towards the Christian heaven and its triangular shape was reminiscent of the Christian trinity .

The main prop of a popular medieval play about Adam and Eve was a fir tree hung with apples ( paradise tree ) representing the Garden of Eden . The Germans set up a paradise tree in their homes on December 24 , the religious feast day of Adam and Eve . They hung wafers on it ( symbolizing the host , the Christian sign of redemption ) ; in a later tradition , the wafers were replaced by cookies of various shapes . Candles , too , were often added as the symbol of Christ . In the same room , during the Christmas season , was the Christmas pyramid , a triangular construction of wood , with shelves to hold Christmas figurines , decorated with evergreens , candles , and a star . By the 16th century , the Christmas pyramid and paradise tree had merged , becoming the Christmas tree .

Christmas was shifted to New Year 's Eve . At the beginning , stringent measures were put in place to see off any holdover of the old days : Christmas trees , introduced to Russia by Tsar Peter The Great in the 17th Century , were banned in 1916 by the Holy Synod as too German .

"A Christmas tree is a decorated tree, usually an evergreen conifer such as spruce, pine, or fir or an artificial tree of similar appearance, associated with the celebration of Christmas. The modern Christmas tree was developed in medieval Livonia (present-day Estonia and Latvia) and early modern Germany, where Protestant Germans brought decorated trees into their homes.[1][2] It acquired popularity beyond the Lutheran areas of Germany[1][3] and the Baltic countries during the second half of the 19th century, at first among the upper classes.[4]",

Justify , the 13th winner , at the 2018 Preakness Stakes . In the United States , the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing , commonly known as the Triple Crown , is a title awarded to a three - year - old Thoroughbred horse who wins the Kentucky Derby , Preakness Stakes , and Belmont Stakes . The three races were inaugurated in different years , the last being the Kentucky Derby in 1875 . These races are now run annually in May and early June of each year . The Triple Crown Trophy , commissioned in 1950 but awarded to all previous winners as well as those after 1950 , is awarded to a Triple Crown winner . The first winner of all three Triple Crown races was Sir Barton in 1919 . Some journalists began using the term Triple Crown to refer to the three races as early as 1923 , but it was not until Gallant Fox won the three events in 1930 that Charles Hatton of the Daily Racing Form put the term into common use . In the history of the Triple Crown , 13 horses have won all three races : Sir Barton ( 1919 ) , Gallant Fox ( 1930 ) , Omaha ( 1935 ) , War Admiral ( 1937 ) , Whirlaway ( 1941 ) , Count Fleet ( 1943 ) , Assault ( 1946 ) , Citation ( 1948 ) , Secretariat ( 1973 ) , Seattle Slew ( 1977 ) , Affirmed ( 1978 ) , American Pharoah ( 2015 ) , and Justify ( 2018 ) . As of 2018 , American Pharoah and Justify are the only living Triple Crown winners . James E. `` Sunny Jim '' Fitzsimmons was the first trainer to win the Triple Crown more than once ; he trained both Gallant Fox and his son Omaha for the Belair Stud breeding farm . Gallant Fox and Omaha are the only father - son duo to win the Triple Crown . Bob Baffert became the second trainer to win the Triple Crown twice , training American Pharoah and Justify . Belair Stud and Calumet Farm are tied as the owners with the most Triple Crown victories with two apiece . Calumet Farms won with Whirlaway and Citation . Eddie Arcaro rode both of Calumet Farms ' Triple Crown champions and is the only jockey to win more than one Triple Crown . Secretariat holds the stakes record time for each of the three races . His time of 2 : 24 for 1 ⁄ miles in the 1973 Belmont Stakes also set a world record that still stands . Contents 1 Development 2 Winners 2.1 Records 2.2 Other notable achievements 3 Gaps between wins 4 Unsuccessful bids 5 Sponsorship and broadcasting 6 Individual race winners 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Development ( edit ) The three Triple Crown races had been run for decades before the series received its name ; the Belmont Stakes was first run in 1867 ; the Preakness , in 1873 ; and the Kentucky Derby , in 1875 . The term was in use at least by 1923 , although Daily Racing Form writer Charles Hatton is commonly credited with originating the term in 1930 . Their order has varied . Before 1931 , the Preakness was run before the Kentucky Derby eleven times . On May 12 , 1917 , and May 13 , 1922 , the Kentucky Derby and Preakness were run on the same day . Since 1931 , the Kentucky Derby has been run first , followed by the Preakness , and then the Belmont . Each Triple Crown race is open to both colts and fillies . Although fillies have won each of the individual Triple Crown races , none has won the Triple Crown itself . Despite attempts to develop a `` Filly Triple Crown '' or a `` Triple Tiara '' for fillies only , no set series of three races has consistently remained in the public eye , and at least four different configurations of races have been used . Two fillies won the series of the Kentucky Oaks , the Pimlico Oaks ( now the Black - Eyed Susan Stakes ) , and the Coaching Club American Oaks , in 1949 and 1952 , but the racing press did not designate either accomplishment as a `` triple crown '' . In 1961 , the New York Racing Association created a filly triple crown of in - state races only , but the races changed over the years . Eight fillies won the NYRA Triple Tiara between 1968 and 1993 . Gelded colts may run in any of the three races today , but they were prohibited from entering the Belmont between 1919 and 1957 . Geldings have won each of the individual races , but like fillies , no gelding has ever won the Triple Crown . The closest was Funny Cide , who won the Derby and the Preakness in 2003 . All the races are held on dirt tracks , rather than the turf commonly used for important races in Europe . Triple Crown races Race Date Current Track Location Distance Background Cite Trophy Kentucky Derby `` The Run for the Roses '' First Saturday in May Churchill Downs Louisville , Kentucky 1 ⁄ miles ( 2,000 m ) Inaugurated in 1875 , the race was originally 1 ⁄ miles ( 2,400 m ) until 1896 when it was shortened to its current distance . It is the only one of the three races to have been continuously run from its inception . Colts and geldings carry 126 pounds ( 57 kg ) and fillies 121 pounds ( 55 kg ) . The field has been limited to 20 horses since 1975 . The Kentucky Derby Trophy Preakness Stakes `` The Run for the Black - Eyed Susans '' Third Saturday in May Pimlico Race Course Baltimore , Maryland 1 ⁄ miles ( 1,900 m ) Started in 1873 and continuously run since 1894 , it is the shortest of the three races . Pimlico was the home of the race from 1873 to 1889 and again from 1908 until the present . The Preakness was not run from 1891 to 1893 . Weights are the same as for the Derby . Field is limited to 14 horses . The Woodlawn Vase Belmont Stakes `` The Test of the Champion '' Third Saturday following the Preakness ( first or second Saturday in June ) Belmont Park Elmont , New York 1 ⁄ miles ( 2,400 m ) Begun in 1867 , it is the oldest of the three races and the longest , though not held in 1911 and 1912 due to anti-gambling legislation in New York . Race was held at various New York tracks until 1905 when Belmont Park became the permanent location . Distance varied from 1 ⁄ to 1 ⁄ miles ( 2,600 to 1,800 m ) until set at 1 ⁄ miles ( 2,400 m ) in 1926 . Weight assignments are the same as the other two races . Field is limited to 16 horses .

Gunther and † † During his 2018 bid for the Triple Crown , Justify used the colors of WinStar Farms ( white , green and black star ) for the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes . The colors of China Horse Club ( red , yellow stars and sleeves ) were used in the Belmont Stakes . At completion of the 2016 season , the three Triple Crown races have attracted 4,224 entrants . Of these , 292 horses have won a single leg of the Triple Crown , 52 horses have won two of the races ( 23 the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes , 18 the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes , and 11 the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes ) , and 13 horses have won all three races . Pillory won both the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes in 1922 , a year when it was impossible to win the Triple Crown because the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes were run on the same day . 10 of the 13 winners have been `` homebreds '' , owned at the time of their win by their breeders . Jim Fitzsimmons and Bob Baffert are the only two trainers to have two horses win the Triple Crown , with Fitzsimmons training the sire / son combination of 1930 winner Gallant Fox and 1935 winner Omaha and Baffert training 2015 winner American Pharoah and 2018 winner Justify . The wins by Fitzsimmons were also the first time that an owner and the first time that a breeder , Belair Stud holding both duties , had a repeat win of the Triple Crown . Calumet Farm is the only other owner with two Triple Crown horses , 1941 winner Whirlaway and 1948 winner Citation . Eddie Arcaro is the only jockey to ride two horses to the Triple Crown , both for Calumet , Whirlaway and Citation . Those two horses ' trainers , Ben Jones and Jimmy Jones , were father and son . All 13 horses , and most owners , trainers , and jockeys were born in the United States . The exceptions were jockey Johnny Longden , born in England and raised in Canada ; French - born jockey Jean Cruguet ; trainer Laz Barrera , from Cuba ; and jockey Victor Espinoza , from Mexico . Secretariat 's trainer , Lucien Laurin and jockey , Ron Turcotte were both Canadians . Owner Fannie Hertz was married to John D. Hertz , who was born in Slovakia ; owner Ahmed Zayat was born in Egypt . Jockey Willie Saunders is considered a Canadian jockey because he grew up and established his career there , but was born in Montana . The horse Sir Barton was foaled in the United States but had a Canadian owner , J.K.L. Ross , at the time of his Triple Crown win , while Justify 's owners were from both the United States and China . Records ( edit ) Secretariat holds the stakes record for each of the Triple Crown races , the Kentucky Derby ( 1 : 59 2 / 5 ) , the Preakness Stakes ( 1 : 53 ) , and the Belmont Stakes ( 2 : 24 ) . At 18 , Steve Cauthen became the youngest jockey to win the Triple Crown , riding Affirmed in 1978 . At 52 , Mike Smith became the oldest jockey to win the Triple Crown , riding Justify in 2018 . Other notable achievements ( edit ) Only one horse , Alydar , has placed ( finished second ) in all three races . He was defeated by Affirmed in all three races in 1978 by a combined margin of two lengths . His trainer John Veitch is the only trainer to have done this with one horse . In 1995 , D. Wayne Lukas became the first and only major figure ( owner , jockey , or trainer ) to win all three Triple Crown races with different horses , Thunder Gulch in the Derby and Belmont , Timber Country in the Preakness . Lukas also is the only trainer to have won six straight Triple Crown races , adding his 1995 wins , having won the 1994 Preakness and Belmont with Tabasco Cat and the 1996 Derby with Grindstone . Like Veitch , only with two different horses , Bob Baffert also had second - place finishes in all three legs of the Triple Crown , both owned by Ahmed Zayat : in 2012 , Bodemeister finished second in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness stakes to I 'll Have Another , then Paynter was entered and finished second to Union Rags . Baffert and Zayat teamed up again for the 2015 Triple Crown victory of American Pharoah . Gallant Fox is the only Triple Crown winner to sire another U.S. Triple Crown winner , Omaha . Affirmed sired Peteski , winner of the 1993 Canadian Triple Crown . Whirlaway , in addition to winning the 1941 Triple Crown , also won the Travers Stakes that year , becoming the first and only horse to date to accomplish that feat . American Pharoah , in addition to winning the 2015 Triple Crown , also won the Breeders ' Cup Classic that year . As the Breeders ' Cup was not established until 1984 , American Pharoah was the first ( and , as of 2018 , only ) horse to sweep all four races , a feat that came to be known as the Grand Slam . Gaps between wins ( edit ) California Chrome ( second from right ) was stepped on by the number 3 horse while leaving the starting gate at the 2014 Belmont Stakes After the first Triple Crown winner , Sir Barton , in 1919 , there was not another winner until Gallant Fox in 1930 , a gap of 11 years . Between 1930 and 1948 , seven horses won the Triple Crown , with five years being the longest gap between winners . However , following the 1948 win of Citation , there was a considerable gap of 25 years before Secretariat ended the drought of Triple Crown champions in 1973 . Between 1973 and 1978 , there were three Triple Crown winners . After Affirmed 's Triple Crown in 1978 , the longest drought in Triple Crown history began in 1979 with Spectacular Bid 's failed Triple Crown attempt at the Belmont Stakes , and lasted until American Pharoah won in 2015 . Between 1979 and 2014 thirteen horses won both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes , but either failed to win the Belmont Stakes or could not start in the race . Of those , Real Quiet came the closest to winning the Triple Crown , losing the Belmont Stakes by a nose in 1998 . Spectacular Bid finished 3rd in 1979 . Pleasant Colony finished 3rd in 1981 . Alysheba finished 4th in 1987 . Sunday Silence finished 2nd in 1989 . Real Quiet finished 2nd in 1998 . Charismatic finished 3rd in 1999 . War Emblem finished 8th in 2002 . Funny Cide finished 3rd in 2003 . Smarty Jones finished 2nd in 2004 . Big Brown did not finish in 2008 . I 'll Have Another did not start ( injury ) 2012 . California Chrome finished 4th in 2014 . In the 1979 - 2015 period , horses who contested all three races , losing the Kentucky Derby but winning the Preakness and the Belmont were Risen Star in 1988 , Hansel in 1991 , Tabasco Cat in 1994 , Point Given in 2001 , and Afleet Alex in 2005 . In 1984 , Swale and in 1995 , Thunder Gulch ran all three races , winning the Derby and the Belmont , but not the Preakness . The 37 - year gap between the Triple Crown wins of Affirmed and American Pharoah drew criticism of the system . As far back as 1986 , reporters noted that horses who were fresh for the Belmont had an advantage . In 2003 , Gary Stevens stated in an interview with Charlie Rose that he did not believe there would be another Triple Crown winner because of the tendency for owners to put fresh horses in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes . California Chrome co-owner Steve Coburn was particularly critical of the Triple Crown system in post-Belmont remarks in 2014 ; he considered the system to be unfair , arguing that there would never be another Triple Crown winner in his lifetime unless only horses that competed in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness competed at the Belmont . By 2014 , six of the previous eight Belmont winners had not competed in either of the first two legs of the Triple Crown . Additionally , from 2006 to 2014 , the Belmont winner was a horse who had not competed in the Preakness . American Pharoah was the first Belmont winner since Afleet Alex in 2005 to have run all three Triple Crown races . Unsuccessful bids ( edit ) Big Brown , the winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes , at the 2008 Belmont Stakes , where he was pulled up and did not finish . Since all three races were inaugurated , as of 2017 , 23 horses have won the Derby and Preakness but not the Belmont : 1932 : Burgoo King did not enter the Belmont due to lameness . 1936 : Bold Venture did not enter the Belmont due to lameness . 1944 : Pensive was the first horse to contest but lose the Belmont after winning the first two legs . He placed second to Bounding Home , who had neither run in the Derby nor the Preakness . 1958 : Tim Tam , defeated by six lengths by Cavan , who had neither contested the Derby nor Preakness . 1961 : Carry Back , `` sore '' after the race , was seventh of nine entries , 14 ⁄ lengths behind the winner , a longshot named Sherluck . 1964 : Northern Dancer , defeated by Quadrangle . 1966 : Kauai King , defeated by Amberoid . 1968 : Forward Pass , defeated by Stage Door Johnny by 1 ⁄ lengths . 1969 : Majestic Prince , second by 5 ⁄ lengths to Arts and Letters . Loss attributed to fatigue and lameness . 1971 : Cañonero II , fourth in the Belmont to 34 -- 1 longshot Pass Catcher , the loss attributed to a hoof problem . 1979 : Spectacular Bid , third in Belmont , was alleged to have stepped on a safety pin the morning of the race , though another theory blamed rider error by an inexperienced young jockey moving him too soon . He finished 3 ⁄ lengths behind Coastal and a neck behind the second - place horse , Golden Act . 1981 : Pleasant Colony , third in Belmont , 1 ⁄ lengths behind Summing and the second - place horse , Highland Blade . 1987 : Alysheba finished fourth in Belmont behind Bet Twice , Cryptoclearance , and Gulch . 1989 : Sunday Silence , second in Belmont , eight lengths behind Easy Goer . 1997 : Silver Charm , second in Belmont , ⁄ length behind Touch Gold . 1998 : Real Quiet , second in Belmont after a photo finish , a nose behind Victory Gallop . 1999 : Charismatic , third in Belmont , 1 ⁄ lengths behind Lemon Drop Kid and second - place Vision and Verse .

Sponsorship and broadcasting ( edit ) Main article : United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing on television Originally , the three races largely organized their own nominations procedure , marketing and television broadcast rights . In 1985 , Triple Crown Productions was created when the owner of Spend a Buck chose not to run in the other two Triple Crown races because of a financial incentive offered to any Kentucky Derby winner who could win a set of competing races in New Jersey . The organizers of the three races realized that they needed to work together . Efforts to unify the sponsorship and marketing of all three Triple Crown races began in 1987 when ABC Sports negotiated a deal with Chrysler to pay $5 million to any horse that swept all three races , and $1 million each year there was no Triple Crown sweep to the horse with the highest combined Triple Crown finish . This sponsorship lasted until 1993 . The end of the $1 million participation bonus was linked to the breakdown of Prairie Bayou at the Belmont Stakes that year and the uncomfortable situation that arose when the Kentucky Derby winner , Sea Hero , was given the bonus following a seventh - place finish . In 1995 , Visa USA took over the sponsorship with a 10 - year contract , naming the series the Visa Triple Crown and offering only the $5 million bonus to a horse that could sweep the Triple Crown . Along with sponsorship by VISA , NBC Sports paid $51.5 million for broadcast rights to all three races , with the revenue split giving 50 % of the total to Churchill Downs and 25 % each to Pimlico and to the New York Racing Association ( NYRA ) . The Visa deal -- and the cooperative effort -- ended after 2005 . The NYRA felt that they did not get a fair share of the revenue , particularly when the Belmont had the highest ratings of all three races in the years where a Triple Crown was on the line . From 2001 through 2013 , average viewership for the Belmont was 7 million when the Triple Crown was not at stake , whereas viewership averaged 13 million when it was . With the contract term ending , the NYRA went to ESPN on ABC for the 2006 Belmont , while the broadcasts of the Derby and Preakness remained with NBC . Visa chose to remain as a sponsor of only Kentucky Derby for the next five years . As a result of the divided broadcast , Triple Crown Productions was unable to obtain a new sponsor . Years Sponsor Bonuses 1987 -- 1993 Chrysler Corporation $1 million ( best overall record ) $5 million ( three wins ) 1995 -- 2005 Visa USA $5 million ( three wins ) 2006 -- present Triple Crown Productions None In February 2011 , ABC / ESPN dropped out of the negotiations to renew broadcast rights to the Belmont Stakes . NBC obtained the contract through 2015 , once again uniting all three races on the same network . In 2014 , NBC extended their contract for the Kentucky Derby through 2025 . As of August 2015 , NBC obtained a broadcast contract for the Belmont through 2020 and the Preakness through 2022 .

The United States Census officially recognizes six racial categories : White American , Black or African American , American Indian and Alaska Native , Asian American , Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander , and people of two or more races ; a category called `` some other race '' is also used in the census and other surveys , but is not official . The United States Census Bureau also classifies Americans as `` Hispanic or Latino '' and `` Not Hispanic or Latino '' , which identifies Hispanic and Latino Americans as an ethnicity ( not a race ) distinct from others , and comprising the largest minority group in the nation . The United States Supreme Court unanimously held that `` race '' is not limited to Census designations on the `` race question '' but extends to all ethnicities , and thus can include Jewish and Arab as well as Polish or Italian or Irish , etc . In fact , the Census asks an `` Ancestry Question '' which covers the broader notion of ethnicity initially in the 2000 Census long form and now in the American Community Survey . The ancestry question will return in the 2020 Census . As of July 2016 , White Americans are the racial majority . African Americans are the largest racial minority , amounting to an estimated 12.7 % of the population . Hispanic and Latino Americans amount to an estimated 17.8 % of the total U.S. population , making up the largest ethnic minority . The White , non-Hispanic or Latino population make up 61.3 % of the nation 's total , with the total White population ( including White Hispanics and Latinos ) being 76.9 % . White Americans are the majority in every census - defined region ( Northeast , Midwest , South , West ) and in every state except Hawaii , but contribute the highest proportion of the population in the Midwestern United States , at 85 % per the Population Estimates Program ( PEP ) , or 83 % per the American Community Survey ( ACS ) . Non-Hispanic Whites make up 79 % of the Midwest 's population , the highest ratio of any region . However , 35 % of White Americans ( whether all White Americans or non-Hispanic / Latino only ) live in the South , the most of any region . 55 % of the African American population lives in the South . A plurality or majority of the other official groups reside in the West . The latter region is home to 42 % of Hispanic and Latino Americans , 46 % of Asian Americans , 48 % of American Indians and Alaska Natives , 68 % of Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders , 37 % of the `` two or more races '' population ( Multiracial Americans ) , and 46 % of those self - designated as `` some other race '' .

Black or African American : those having origins in any of the native peoples of Sub-Saharan Africa . Native American or Alaska Native : those having origins in any of the original peoples of North , Central and South America , irrespective of whether they maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment . Asian American : those having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East , North Asia , Southeast Asia , and the Indian subcontinent . Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander : those having origins in any of the original peoples of Polynesia , Melanesia , or Micronesia . Middle Eastern American : Following consultations with MENA organizations , the Census Bureau announced in 2014 that it would establish a new MENA ethnic category for populations from the Middle East , North Africa and the Arab world . Some other race : respondents may write how they identify themselves , if different from the preceding categories ( e. g . Roma or Aboriginal / Indigenous Australian ) . However , 95 % of the people who report in this category are Hispanic Mestizos . This is not a standard OMB race category . Responses have included mixed - race terms such as Métis , Creole , and Mulatto , which are generally considered to be categories of multi-racial ancestry ( see below ) , but , write - in entries reported in the 2000 census also included nationalities ( as opposed to ethnicities ) , such as South African , Belizean , or Puerto Rican , as well as other terms for mixed - race groups like Wesort , Melungeon , mixed , interracial , and others . Two or more races , widely known as multiracial : those who check off and / or write in more than one race . There is no option labelled `` two or more races '' or `` multiracial '' on census and other forms ; people who report more than one of the foregoing six options are classified as people of `` two or more races '' in subsequent processing . Any respondent may identify with any number , up to all six , of the racial categories . Each person has two identifying attributes , racial identity and whether or not they are of Hispanic ethnicity . These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature . They have been changed from one census to another , and the racial categories include both `` racial '' and national - origin groups . In 2007 , the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission of the US Department of Labor finalized its update of the EEO - 1 report format and guidelines to come into an effect on September 30 , 2007 . In particular , this update concerns the definitions of racial / ethnic categories . Ethnicity : Hispanic or Latino origin ( edit ) See also : Race and ethnicity in Latin America and Ethnic groups in Latin America The question on Hispanic or Latino origin is separate from the question on race . Hispanic and Latino Americans have ethnic origins in the countries of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula . Latin American countries are , like the United States , racially diverse . Consequently , no separate racial category exists for Hispanic and Latino Americans , as they do not constitute a race , nor a national group . When responding to the race question on the census form , each person is asked to choose from among the same racial categories as all Americans , and are included in the numbers reported for those races . Each racial category may contain Non-Hispanic or Latino and Hispanic or Latino Americans . For example : the White ( European - American ) race category contains Non-Hispanic Whites and Hispanic Whites ( see White Hispanic and Latino Americans ) ; the Black or African - American category contains Non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanic Blacks ( see Black Hispanic and Latino Americans ) ; the Asian - American category contains Non-Hispanic Asians and Hispanic Asians ( see Asian Hispanic and Latino Americans ) ; and likewise for all the other categories . See the section on Hispanic and Latino Americans in this article . Self - identifying as both Hispanic or Latino and not Hispanic or Latino is neither explicitly allowed nor explicitly prohibited . Social definitions of race ( edit ) See also : African Americans § Identity , and Definitions of whiteness in the United States In the United States since its early history , Native Americans , Africans and Europeans were considered to belong to different races . For nearly three centuries , the criteria for membership in these groups were similar , comprising a person 's appearance , their social circle ( how they lived ) , and their known non-White ancestry . History played a part , as persons with known slave ancestors were assumed to be African ( or , in later usage , black ) , regardless of whether they also had European ancestry . The differences between how Native American and Black identities are defined today ( blood quantum versus one - drop and political assumptions ) have been based on different historical circumstances . According to the anthropologist Gerald Sider , such racial designations were a means to concentrate power , wealth , privilege and land in the hands of Whites in a society of White hegemony and privilege ( Sider 1996 ; see also Fields 1990 ) . The differences had little to do with biology and more to do with the history of slavery and its racism , and specific forms of White supremacy ( the social , geopolitical and economic agendas of dominant Whites vis - à - vis subordinate Blacks and Native Americans ) . They related especially to the different social places which Blacks and Amerindians occupied in White - dominated 19th - century America . Sider suggests that the blood quantum definition of Native American identity enabled mixed - race Whites to acquire Amerindian lands during the allotment process . The one - drop rule of Black identity , enforced legally in the early 20th century , enabled Whites to preserve their agricultural labor force in the South . The contrast emerged because , as peoples transported far from their land and kinship ties on another continent , Black labor was relatively easy to control , and they became reduced to valuable commodities as agricultural laborers . In contrast , Amerindian labor was more difficult to control ; moreover , Amerindians occupied large territories that became valuable as agricultural lands , especially with the invention of new technologies such as railroads . Sider thinks the blood quantum definition enhanced White acquisition of Amerindian lands in a doctrine of Manifest Destiny , which subjected Native Americans to marginalization and resulted in numerous conflicts related to American expansionism . The political economy of race had different consequences for the descendants of aboriginal Americans and African slaves . The 19th - century blood quantum rule meant that it was relatively easier for a person of mixed Euro - Amerindian ancestry to be accepted as White . The offspring of a few generations of intermarriage between Amerindians and Whites likely would not have been considered Amerindian ( at least not in a legal sense ) . Amerindians could have treaty rights to land , but because an individual with only one Amerindian great - grandparent no longer was classified as Amerindian , he lost a legal claim to Amerindian land , under the allotment rules of the day . According to Sider 's theory , Whites were more easily able to acquire Amerindian lands . On the other hand , the same individual who could be denied legal standing in a tribe , according to the government , because he was `` too White '' to claim property rights , might still have enough visually identifiable Amerindian ancestry to be considered socially as a `` half - breed '' or breed , and stigmatized by both communities . The 20th - century one - drop rule made it relatively difficult for anyone of known Black ancestry to be accepted as White . The child of an African - American sharecropper and a White person was considered Black by the local communities . In terms of the economics of sharecropping , such a person also would likely become a sharecropper as well , thus adding to the landholder or employer 's labor force . In short , this theory suggests that in a 20th - century economy that benefited from sharecropping , it was useful to have as many Blacks as possible . Although some scholars of the Jim Crow period agree that the 20th - century notion of invisible Blackness shifted the color line in the direction of paleness , and `` expanded '' the labor force in response to Southern Blacks ' Great Migration to the North . But , others ( such as the historians Joel Williamson , C. Vann Woodward , George M. Fredrickson , and Stetson Kennedy ) considered the one - drop rule a consequence of the need to define Whiteness as being pure , and justifying White - on - Black oppression . Over the centuries when Whites wielded power over both Blacks and Amerindians and believed in their inherent superiority over people of color , they created a social order of hypodescent , in which they assigned mixed - race children to the lower - status groups . They were often ignorant of the systems among Native American tribes of social classification , including kinship and hypodescent . The Omaha people , for instance , who had a patrilineal kinship system , classified all children with white fathers as `` white '' , and excluded them as members of the clans and tribe , unless one was formally adopted by a male member . Tribal members might care for mixed - race children of white fathers , but considered them outside the hereditary clan and kinship fundamental to tribal society . The hypodescent social construction related to the racial caste that was associated with African slavery and the conditions of the slave societies . It was made explicit by Virginia and other colonies ' laws as early as 1662 . Virginia incorporated the Roman principle of partus sequitur ventrem into slave law , saying that children of slave mothers were born into their status . Under English common law for subjects , children 's social status was determined by the father , not the mother . But the colonists put Africans outside the category of English subjects . Generally , white men were in positions of power to take sexual advantage of black women slaves . But , historian Paul Heinegg has shown that most free African - American families listed in the censuses of 1790 -- 1810 were , in fact , descended from unions between white women and African men in colonial Virginia , from the years when working classes lived and worked closely together , and before slavery had hardened as a racial caste . In the United States , social and legal conventions developed over time by whites that classified individuals of mixed ancestry into simplified racial categories ( Gossett 1997 ) , but these were always porous . The decennial censuses conducted since 1790 , after slavery was well established in the United States , included classification of persons by race : white , black , mulatto , and Indian ( Nobles 2000 ) . But , the inclusion of mulatto was an explicit acknowledgement of mixed race . In addition , before the Civil War , Virginia and some other states had legal definition of `` whiteness '' that provided for people being classified as white if no more than 1 / 8 black . ( For example , if not born into slavery , Thomas Jefferson 's children by his slave Sally Hemings would have been classified as legally white , as they were 7 / 8 white by ancestry . Three of the four surviving children entered white society as adults , and their descendants have identified as white . ) In the late 18th and 19th centuries , people of mixed race often migrated to frontiers where societies were more open , and they might be accepted as white if satisfying obligations of citizenship . The more familiar `` one - drop rule '' was not adopted by Virginia and other states until the 20th century , but it classified persons with any known African ancestry as black ( Davis 2001 ) . Passage of such laws was often urged by white supremacists and people promoting `` racial purity '' through eugenics , having forgotten the long history of multi-racial unions in the South that comprised the ancestry of many families . In other countries in the Americas , where mixing among groups was overtly more extensive , social categories have tended to be more numerous and fluid . In some cases , people may move into or out of categories on the basis of a combination of socioeconomic status , social class , ancestry , and appearance ( Mörner 1967 ) . The term Hispanic as an ethnonym emerged in the 20th century , with the rise of migration of laborers from Spanish - speaking countries of the western hemisphere to the United States . It includes people who may have been considered racially distinct ( Black , White , Amerindian or other mixed groups ) in their home countries . Today , the word `` Latino '' is often used as a synonym for `` Hispanic '' . Even if such categories were earlier understood as racial categories , today they have begun to represent ethno - linguistic categories ( regardless of perceived race ) . Similarly , `` Anglo '' is now used among many Hispanics to refer to non-Hispanic White Americans or European Americans , most of whom speak the English language but are not of primarily English descent . Historical Trends and influences ( edit ) The United States is a racially diverse country . The growth of the Hispanic population through immigration and high birth rates is noted as a partial factor for the US ' population gains in the last quarter - century . The 2000 census revealed that Native Americans had reached their highest documented population , 4.5 million , since the US was founded in 1776 . The immigrants to the New World came largely from widely separated regions of the Old World . In the Americas , the immigrant populations began to mix among themselves and with the indigenous inhabitants of the continents . In the United States , for example , most people who identify as African American have some European ancestors , as revealed by genetic studies . In one analysis of those genetic markers that have differing frequencies between continents , European ancestry ranged from an estimated 7 % for a sample of Jamaicans to ~ 23 % for a sample of African Americans from New Orleans , where there was historically a large class of mixed race ( now called Louisiana Creoles ) ( Parra et al. 1998 ) . In the United States since its early history , Native Americans , African Americans , and European Americans were classified as belonging to different races . For nearly three centuries , the criteria among whites for membership in these groups were similar , comprising physical appearance , assumption of non-European ancestry , and social circle . The criteria for membership in these races diverged in the late 19th century . During and after Reconstruction , after the emancipation of slaves after the Civil War , in the effort to restore white supremacy in the South , whites began to classify anyone with `` one drop '' of `` black blood '' , or known African ancestry , to be black . Such a legal definition was not put into law until the early 20th century in most southern states , but many established racial segregation of facilities during the Jim Crow era , after white Democrats regained control of state legislatures in the South . Efforts to track mixing between groups led to an earlier proliferation of historical categories ( such as `` mulatto '' and `` octaroon '' among persons with partial African descent ) and `` blood quantum '' distinctions , which became increasingly untethered from self - reported ancestry . In the 20th century , efforts to classify the increasingly mixed population of the United States into discrete categories generated many difficulties ( Spickard 1992 ) . By the standards used in past censuses , many mixed - race children born in the United States were classified as of a different race than one of their biological parents . In addition , a person may change personal racial identification over time because of cultural aspects , and self - ascribed race can differ from assigned race ( Kressin et al. 2003 ) . Until the 2000 census , Latinos were required to identify as one race , and none was Latino . Partly as a result of the confusion generated by the distinction , 32.9 % ( U.S. census records ) of Latino respondents in the 2000 census ignored the specified racial categories and checked `` some other race '' . ( Mays et al. 2003 claim a figure of 42 % ) Historical trends influencing the ethnic demographics of the United States include : Patterns of original settlement settlement of the Americas by a variety of Native American peoples , including Alaska Natives . settlement of Pacific islands by Polynesian people , including Native Hawaiians , Samoans , the Chamorro people in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands . settlement of Puerto Rico by the Taíno people . settlement of the United States Virgin Islands by the Ciboney , Carib , and Arawaks . Colonization Colonization of what is now eastern Canada and the area between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River as New France . Historical events , including the Expulsion of the Acadians , influenced the ethnic mix , especially in Louisiana , northern New England and New York State . Colonization of the Thirteen Colonies by the Dutch , British , and later immigrants such as Germans from northern Europe . Spanish colonization of the Americas , including Florida , the Southwest , and Puerto Rico , later acquired by the US . Denmark and other historical colonial powers influenced the ethnic makeup of what are now the United States Virgin Islands . The Atlantic slave trade , bringing millions of Africans to the South , Caribbean , and Latin America . Severe reduction of Native American populations in the contiguous United States , mostly because of new infectious diseases carried by European colonists , combined with warfare Forced migration Deportation and flight of United Empire Loyalists to Canada , the Caribbean and Britain after the American Revolution Forced removal of more than one million African Americans in the domestic slave trade from the Upper South to the Deep South during the early 19th century as Americans developed new lands for plantations Territorial conflict with Native Americans and the Indian removal policy of the 19th century displaced many remaining native populations from east of the Mississippi River to territories to the west , especially to what is now Oklahoma . Immigration Historical immigration to the United States from all countries of the world and throughout the history of the country , for religious , political and economic reasons . Since the late 19th century , the History of laws concerning immigration and naturalization in the United States and illegal immigration to the United States have influenced the ethnic balance of that immigration . Various groups have been denied entry due to discrimination , economic protectionism , and political conflict with their nation of origin . Other groups have received favored status , such as refugees and nationals of allied nations . Transatlantic migrations from Europe , especially in the 19th century , created ethnic enclaves in many eastern cities and settling many rural areas east of the Mississippi Immigration from Asia has had the most influence on Hawaii and the West Coast , but has also created predominantly Asian neighborhoods in many major cities across the country . Immigration from Mexico and other existing Latino populations has strongly influenced the Southwest . Westward expansion of the United States The Royal Proclamation of 1763 restricted the western boundary of European settlement to the watershed east of the Appalachian Mountains ; despite the Confederation Congress Proclamation of 1783 and Nonintercourse Acts prohibiting private purchase of Native American lands , the territory between the Mississippi River and Appalachian Mountains granted to the United States by the Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) was gradually opened to white settlers through public purchase of Indian lands . The Homestead Act promoting settlement west of the Mississippi after the Louisiana Purchase Mormon settlement of Utah California Gold Rush Oregon Trail Klondike Gold Rush promoting settlement of Alaska Internal migration African Americans escaped from slavery , sometimes via the Underground Railroad , reaching the free North before the American Civil War . In the 20th century , to seek jobs and escape racial violence , African Americans left the South in the Great Migration and Second Great Migration , moving to Northern , Midwestern , and Western cities , where they had to compete with recent European immigrants . Especially as transportation systems have improved over the centuries , it has become relatively easy for many Americans to move from one part of the country to another , given the lack of internal borders and dominance of English in most areas . Many do so for reasons of economic opportunity , climate , or culture . The American Industrial Revolution , promoted urbanization of what was previously a largely agrarian society Railroads , promoting migration westwards and streetcar suburbs , created significant ethnic shifts in urban areas . Economics and natural disasters have driven migration , for example during the Dust Bowl , World War II , and since the decline of the Rust Belt Suburbanization period after World War II , with `` white flight '' to new housing and away from later social unrest , followed by `` black flight '' The majority of Native Hawaiians who moved to the mainland U.S. have settled in California . Air conditioning has promoted migration from northern areas to the Sun Belt , aided by states ' rules against union labor and having low taxes for businesses . The Jet Age promoted vacationing and part - time living in warmer areas ( snowbirding ) . In some cases , immigrants and migrants form ethnic enclaves ; in others , mixture creates ethnically diverse neighborhoods . Racial makeup of the U.S. population ( edit ) ( For demographics by specific ethnic groups rather than general race , see `` Ancestry '' below . ) White and European Americans ( edit ) Main articles : European Americans , White Americans , and White Hispanic and Latino Americans The majority of people currently living in the United States are White and European Americans . The United States Census Bureau defines White people as those `` having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe , the Middle East , or North Africa . '' Like all official U.S. racial categories , `` White '' has a `` not Hispanic or Latino '' and a `` Hispanic or Latino '' component , the latter consisting mostly of White Mexican Americans and White Cuban Americans . White Americans are the majority in 49 of the 50 states , with Hawaii as the exception . Non-Hispanic Whites are the majority in 46 states ; Hawaii , New Mexico , California , and Texas ( and the District of Columbia ) are the exceptions . These five jurisdictions have `` minority majorities '' , i.e. minority groups compose the majority of the population . The non-Hispanic White percentage ( 63 % in 2012 ) tends to decrease every year , and this sub-group is expected to become a plurality of the overall U.S. population after the year 2043 . White Americans overall ( non-Hispanic Whites together with White Hispanics ) are projected to continue as the majority , at 73.1 % ( or 303 million out of 420 million ) in 2050 , from currently 77.1 % . Although a high proportion of the population is known to have multiple ancestries , in the 2000 census , the first with the option to choose more than one , most people still identified with one racial category . In the 2000 census , self - identified German Americans made up 17.1 % of the U.S. population , followed by Irish Americans at 12 % , as reported in the 2000 U.S. Census . This makes German and Irish the largest and second - largest self - reported ancestry groups in the United States . Both groups had high rates of immigration to the U.S. beginning in the mid-19th century , triggered by the Great Famine in Ireland and the failed 1848 Revolution in Germany . However , English Americans and British Americans are still considered the largest ethnic group due to a serious under count following the 2000 census whereby many English and British Americans self - identified under the new category entry ' American ' considering themselves ' indigenous ' because their families had resided in the US for so long or , if of mixed European ancestry , identified with a more recent and differentiated ethnic group . 7.2 % of the population listed their ancestry as American on the 2000 census ( see American ethnicity ) . According to the United States Census Bureau , the number of people in the U.S. who reported American and no other ancestry increased from 12.4 million in 1990 to 20.2 million in 2000 . This change in reporting represented the largest `` growth '' of any ethnic group in the United States during the 1990s , but it represented how people reported themselves more than growth through birth rates , for instance , and certainly did not reflect immigration . Most French Americans are believed descended from colonists of Catholic New France ; exiled Huguenots , much fewer in number and settling in the eastern English colonies in the late 1600s and early 1700s , needed to assimilate into the majority culture and have intermarried over generations . Isleños of Louisiana and the Hispanos of the Southwest have had , in part , direct Spanish ancestry ; most self - reported White Hispanics are of Mexican , Puerto Rican , and Cuban origins , each of which are multi-ethnic nations . Hispanic immigration has increased from nations of Central and South America . Black and African Americans ( edit ) Main articles : African Americans and Black Hispanic and Latino Americans Black and African Americans are citizens and residents of the United States with origins in Sub-Saharan Africa . According to the Office of Management and Budget , the grouping includes individuals who self - identify as African - American , as well as persons who emigrated from nations in the Caribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa . The grouping is thus based on geography , and may contradict or misrepresent an individual 's self - identification since not all immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa are `` Black '' . Among these racial outliers are persons from Cape Verde , Madagascar , various Hamito - Semitic populations in East Africa and the Sahel , and the Afrikaners of Southern Africa including such notable figures as the inventor Elon Musk and actress Charlize Theron . African Americans ( also referred to as Black Americans or Afro - Americans , and formerly as American Negroes ) are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa . According to the 2009 American Community Survey , there were 38,093,725 Black and African Americans in the United States , representing 12.4 % of the population . There were 37,144,530 non-Hispanic blacks , which comprised 12.1 % of the population . This number increased to 42 million according to the 2010 United States Census , when including Multiracial African Americans , making up 14 % of the total U.S. population . Black and African Americans make up the second largest group in the United States , but the third largest group after White Americans and Hispanic or Latino Americans ( of any race ) . The majority of the population ( 55 % ) lives in the South ; compared to the 2000 Census , there has also been a decrease of African Americans in the Northeast and Midwest . Most African Americans are the direct descendants of captives from West Africa , who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present United States . As an adjective , the term is usually written African - American . The first West Africans were brought to Jamestown , Virginia in 1619 . The English settlers treated these captives as indentured servants and released them after a number of years . This practice was gradually replaced by the system of race - based slavery used in the Caribbean . All the American colonies had slavery , but it was usually the form of personal servants in the North ( where 2 % of the people were slaves ) , and field hands in plantations in the South ( where 25 % were slaves ) ; by the beginning of the American Revolutionary War 1 / 5th of the total population was enslaved . During the revolution , some would serve in the Continental Army or Continental Navy , while others would serve the British Empire in Lord Dunmore 's Ethiopian Regiment , and other units . By 1804 , the northern states ( north of the Mason -- Dixon line ) had abolished slavery . However , slavery would persist in the southern states until the end of the American Civil War and the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment . Following the end of the Reconstruction Era , which saw the first African American representation in Congress , African Americans became disenfranchised and subject to Jim Crow laws , legislation that would persist until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 due to the Civil Rights Movement . According to US Census Bureau data , very few African immigrants self - identify as African - American . On average , less than 5 % of African residents self - reported as `` African - American '' or `` Afro - American '' on the 2000 US Census . The overwhelming majority of African immigrants ( ~ 95 % ) identified instead with their own respective ethnicities . Self - designation as `` African - American '' or `` Afro - American '' was highest among individuals from West Africa ( 4 % - 9 % ) , and lowest among individuals from Cape Verde , East Africa and Southern Africa ( 0 % - 4 % ) . Nonetheless , African immigrants often develop very successful professional and business working - relationships with African - Americans . Hispanic and Latino Americans ( edit ) Main article : Hispanic and Latino Americans Hispanic and Latino Americans by race ( 2010 ) Race Population % of all Hispanic and Latino Americans White 26,735,713 53.0 Some other race ( mestizo , mulatto , etc . ) 18,503,103 36.7 Two or more races 3,042,592 6.0 Black 1,243,471 2.5 American Indian and Alaska Native 685,150 1.4 Asian 209,128 0.4 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander 58,437 0.1 Total 50,477,594 100.0 In 2008 , `` Hispanic or Latino origin '' was the self - identification of 47 million Americans . They chiefly have origins in the Spanish - speaking nations of Latin America . Very few also come from other places , for example : 0.2 % of Hispanic and Latino Americans were born in Asia . The group is heterogeneous in race and national ancestry . The Census Bureau defines `` Hispanic or Latino origin '' thus : `` For Census 2000 , American Community Survey : People who identify with the terms `` Hispanic '' or `` Latino '' are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the Census 2000 or ACS questionnaire - `` Mexican , '' `` Puerto Rican , '' or `` Cuban '' - as well as those who indicate that they are `` other Spanish , Hispanic , or Latino . '' Origin can be viewed as the heritage , nationality group , lineage , or country of birth of the person , or the person 's parents or ancestors , before their arrival in the United States . People who identify their origin as Spanish , Hispanic , or Latino may be of any race . '' The leading country - of - origin for Hispanic Americans is Mexico ( 30.7 million ) , followed by Puerto Rico ( 4.2 million ) ( which actually has a special relationship with the US , of which its people are citizens ) , and Cuba ( 1.6 million ) , as of 2008 . However , as of 2010 , there were 1,648,968 Salvadorans in the United States , the largest of the U.S. - Central American community . Salvadorans are poised to become the third largest Hispanic group by the next census , significantly overtaking and replacing Cubans . Recent estimates already put the Salvadoran population as high as 2 million , as of 2013 , the third largest Hispanic - American group . 62.4 % of Hispanic and Latino Americans identified as white . 30.5 % identified as `` some other race '' ( other than the ones listed ) . According to the PEP 91.9 % of Latinos are white , as these official estimates do not recognize `` some other race '' . In the official estimates , Black or African American Hispanics are the second - largest group , with 1.9 million , or 4.0 % of the whole group . The remaining Hispanics are accounted as follows , first per the PEP : 1.6 % American Indian and Alaska Native , 1.5 % two or more races , 0.7 % Asian , and 0.03 % Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander . Per the ACS : 3.9 % two or more races , 1.9 % Black or African American , 1.0 % American Indian and Alaska Native , 0.4 % Asian , and 0.05 % Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander . In the United States the Hispanic and Latino population has reached 58 million in 2016 . According to Pew Research Center the Latino population has been the principal driver of United States demographic growth since 2000 . Mexicans make up most of the Hispanic and Latino population 35,758,000 . There is also a growth of Hispanics who are receiving a college education in 2015 , 40 % of Hispanics age 25 and older have had a college experience . In 2000 the percentage was at a low 30 % . In all the 50 US states California houses the largest population percentage of Latinos . In 2015 , 15.2 million Hispanics lived in California . The Hispanic or Latino population is young and fast - growing , due to immigration and higher birth rates . For decades it has contributed significantly to U.S. population increases , and this is expected to continue . The Census Bureau projects that by 2050 , one - quarter of the population will be Hispanic or Latino . Asian Americans ( edit ) Main articles : Asian Americans and Asian Hispanic and Latino Americans A third significant minority is the Asian American population , comprising 19.4 million in 2013 , or 6.0 % of the U.S. population . California is home to 4.5 million Asian Americans , whereas 495,000 live in Hawaii , where they compose the plurality , at 38.5 % of the islands ' people . This is their largest share of any state . Historically first concentrated on Hawaii and the West Coast , Asian Americans now live across the country , living and working in large numbers in New York City , Chicago , Boston , Houston , and other major urban centers . Their histories are diverse . As with the new immigration from central and eastern Europe to the East Coast from the mid-19th century on , Asians started immigrating to the United States in large numbers in the 19th century . This first major wave of immigration consisted predominantly of Chinese and Japanese laborers , but also included Korean and South Asian immigrants . Many immigrants also came during and after this period from the Philippines , which was a US colony from 1898 to 1946 . Exclusion laws and policies largely prohibited and curtailed Asian immigration until the 1940s . After the US changed its immigration laws during the 1940s to 1960s to make entry easier , a much larger new wave of immigration from Asia began . Today the largest self - identified Asian American sub-groups according to census data are Chinese Americans , Filipino Americans , Indian Americans , Vietnamese Americans , Korean Americans , and Japanese Americans , among other groups . Native Americans and Alaska Natives ( edit ) Main articles : Native Americans in the United States and Alaska Natives Indigenous peoples of the Americas , particularly Native Americans , made up 0.8 % of the population in 2008 , numbering 2.4 million . An additional 2.3 million persons declared part - American Indian or Alaska Native ancestry . The legal and official designation of who is Native American has aroused controversy by demographers , tribal nations , and government officials for many decades . Federally recognized tribes and state recognized tribes set their own membership requirements ; tribal enrollment may require residency on a reservation , documented lineal descent from recognized records , such as the Dawes Rolls , and other criteria . Some tribes have adopted the use of blood quantum , requiring members to have a certain percentage . The federal government requires individuals to certify documented blood quantum of ancestry for certain federal programs , such as education benefits , available to members of recognized tribes . But Census takers accept any respondent 's identification . Genetic scientists estimated that more than 15 million other Americans , including African Americans and Hispanic Americans ( specifically those of Mexican heritage ) , may have up to one quarter of American Indian ancestry . Once thought to face extinction as a race or culture , Native Americans of numerous tribes have achieved revival of aspects of their cultures , together with asserting their sovereignty and direction of their own affairs since the mid-20th century . Many have started language programs to revive use of traditional languages ; some have established tribally controlled colleges and other schools on their reservations , so that education is expressive of their cultures . Since the late 20th century , many tribes have developed gaming casinos on their sovereign land to raise revenues for economic development , as well as to promote the education and welfare of their people through health care and construction of improved housing . Today more than 800,000 to one million persons claim Cherokee descent in part or as full - bloods ; of these , an estimated 300,000 live in California , 70,000 -- 160,000 in Oklahoma , and 15,000 in North Carolina in ancestral homelands . The second largest tribal group is the Navajo , who call themselves Diné and live on a 16 - million acre ( 65,000 km2 ) Indian reservation covering northeast Arizona , northwest New Mexico , and southeast Utah . It is home to half of the 450,000 Navajo Nation members . The third largest group are the Lakota ( Sioux ) Nation , with distinct federally recognized tribes located in the states of Minnesota , Nebraska , Montana , Wyoming ; and North and South Dakota . Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders ( edit ) Main articles : Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islands Americans Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders numbered 427,810 in 2008 , or 0.1 % of the population . Additionally , nearly as many individuals identify as having partial Native Hawaiian ancestry , for a total of 829,949 people of full or part Native Hawaiian ancestry . This group constitutes the smallest minority in the United States . More than half identify as `` full - blooded '' , but historically most Native Hawaiians on the island chain of Hawaii are believed to have admixture with Asian and European ancestries . But , the Census takes reporting by individuals as to how they identify . Some demographers believe that by the year 2025 , the last full - blooded Native Hawaiian will die off , leaving a culturally distinct , but racially mixed population . The total number of persons who have identified as Native Hawaiian in 2008 was more than the estimated Hawaiian population when the US annexed the islands in 1898 . Native Hawaiians are receiving ancestral land reparations . Throughout Hawaii , they are working to preserve and assert adaptation of Native Hawaiian customs and the Hawaiian language . They have cultural schools solely for legally Native Hawaiian students . Middle easterners and North Africans ( edit ) Main articles : Middle Eastern Americans , Arab Americans , and North Africans in the United States According to the Arab American Institute ( AAI ) , countries of origin for Arab Americans include Algeria , Bahrain , Comoros , Djibouti , Egypt , Iraq , Jordan , Kuwait , Lebanon , Libya , Mauritania , Morocco , Oman , Qatar , Palestine , Saudi Arabia , Somalia , Sudan , Syria , Tunisia , United Arab Emirates and Yemen . There are an estimated 1.9 - 2.0 million Middle Eastern Americans according to the U.S. Census , including both Arab and non-Arab Americans , comprising 0.6 % of the total U.S. population ; however , the Arab American Institute estimates a population closer to 3.6 million . U.S. Census population estimates are based on responses to the ancestry question on the census , which makes it difficult to accurately count Middle Eastern Americans . Though Middle Eastern American communities can be found in each of the 50 states , the majority live in just 10 states with nearly `` one third of the total liv ( ing ) in California , New York , and Michigan '' . More Middle Eastern Americans live in California than any other state , but Middle Eastern Americans represent the highest percentage of the population of Michigan . In particular , Dearborn , Michigan has long been home to a high concentration of Middle Eastern Americans . The United States Census Bureau is presently finalizing the ethnic classification of MENA populations . In 2012 , prompted in part by post-9 / 11 discrimination , the American - Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee petitioned the Department of Commerce 's Minority Business Development Agency to designate the MENA populations as a minority / disadvantaged community . Following consultations with MENA organizations , the US Census Bureau announced in 2014 that it would establish a new MENA ethnic category for populations from the Middle East , North Africa and the Arab world , separate from the `` white '' classification that these populations had previously sought in 1909 . The expert groups , including some Jewish organizations , felt that the earlier `` white '' designation no longer accurately represents MENA identity , so they successfully lobbied for a distinct categorization . This process does not currently include ethnoreligious groups such as Jews or Sikhs , as the Bureau only tabulates these groups as followers of religions rather than members of ethnic groups . As of December 2015 , the sampling strata for the new MENA category includes the Census Bureau 's working classification of 19 MENA groups , as well as Turkish , Sudanese , Somali , Mauritanian , Armenian , Cypriot , Afghan , Azerbaijani and Georgian groups . Two or more races ( edit ) Main article : Multiracial Americans Self - identified multiracial Americans numbered 7.0 million in 2008 , or 2.3 % of the population . They have identified as any combination of races ( White , Black or African American , Asian , American Indian or Alaska Native , Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander , `` some other race '' ) and ethnicities . The U.S. has a growing multiracial identity movement . While the colonies and southern states protected white fathers by making all children born to slave mothers be classified as slaves , regardless of paternity , they also banned miscegenation or interracial marriage , most notably between whites and blacks . This did little to stop interracial relationships , except as legal , consensual unions . Demographers state that , due to new waves of immigration , the American people through the early 20th century were mostly multi-ethnic descendants of various immigrant nationalities , who maintained cultural distinctiveness until , over time , assimilation , migration and integration took place . The Civil Rights Movement through the 20th century gained passage of important legislation to enforce constitutional rights of minorities . According to James P. Allen and Eugene Turner from California State University , Northridge , by some calculations in the 2000 Census , the multiracial population that is part white ( which is the largest percentage of the multiracial population ) , is as follows : white / Native American and Alaskan Native , at 7,015,017 , white / black at 737,492 , white / Asian at 727,197 , and white / Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander at 125,628 . Genetic admixture ( edit ) A 2002 study found an average of 18.6 % European genetic contribution and 2.7 % Native American genetic contribution ( with standard errors 1.5 % and 1.4 % respectively ) in a sample of 232 African Americans . Meanwhile , in a sample of 187 European Americans from State College , Pennsylvania , there was an average of 0.7 % West African genetic contribution and 3.2 % Native American genetic contribution ( with standard errors 0.9 % and 1.6 % respectively ) . Most of the non-European admixture was concentrated in 30 % of the sample , with West African admixture ranging from 2 to 20 % , with an average of 2.3 % . In 1958 Robert Stuckert produced a statistical analysis using historical census data and immigration statistics . He concluded that the growth in the White population could not be attributed solely to births in the White population and immigration from Europe , but was also due to people identifying as white who were partly black . He concluded that 21 percent of white Americans had some recent African - American ancestors . He also concluded that the majority of Americans of known African descent were partly European and not entirely sub-Saharan African . More recently , many different DNA studies have shown that many African Americans have European admixture , reflecting the long history in this country of the various populations . Proportions of European admixture in African - American DNA have been found in studies to be 17 % and between 10.6 % and 22.5 % . Another recent study found the average to be 21.2 % , with a standard error of 1.2 % . The Race , Ethnicity , and Genetics Working Group of the National Human Genome Research Institute notes that `` although genetic analyses of large numbers of loci can produce estimates of the percentage of a person 's ancestors coming from various continental populations , these estimates may assume a false distinctiveness of the parental populations , since human groups have exchanged mates from local to continental scales throughout history . '' Members of other races ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( June 2016 ) In the 2000 census , the non-standard category of `` Other '' was especially intended to capture responses such as Mestizo and Mulatto , two large multiracial groups in most of the countries of origin of Hispanic and Latino Americans . However , many other responses are captured by the category . In 2008 15.0 million people , nearly 5 % of the total U.S. population , were estimated to be `` some other race '' , with 95 % of them being Hispanic or Latino . Due to this category 's non-standard status , statistics from government agencies other than the Census Bureau ( for example : the Centers for Disease Control 's data on vital statistics , or the FBI 's crime statistics ) , but also the Bureau 's own official Population Estimates , omit the `` some other race '' category and include most of the people in this group in the white population , thus including the vast majority ( about 90 % ) of Hispanic and Latino Americans in the white population . For an example of this , see The World Factbook , published by the Central Intelligence Agency . Ancestry ( edit ) The ancestry of the people of the United States of America is widely varied and includes descendants of populations from around the world . In addition to its variation , the ancestry of people of the United States is also marked by varying amounts of intermarriage between ethnic and racial groups . While some Americans can trace their ancestry back to a single ethnic group or population in Europe , Africa , or Asia , these are often first - and second - generation Americans . Generally , the degree of mixed heritage increases the longer one 's ancestors have lived in the United States ( see melting pot ) . In theory , there are several means available to discover the ancestry of the people residing in the United States , including genealogy , genetics , oral and written history , and analysis of Federal Population Census schedules . In practice , only few of these have been used for a larger part of the population . The plurality ( not majority ) ethnic background in each county in the US in 2000 : German English Norwegian Dutch Finnish Irish French Italian Mexican Native Spanish American African American Puerto Rican Plurality ancestry in each state , ranging from 11.8 % ( FL ) to 43.9 % ( ND ) .

-8820018061367412303 | Izzie Stevens | Izzie Stevens - wikipedia Izzie Stevens Dr. Izzie Stevens Grey 's Anatomy character The Season 6 Promotional Photo of Katherine Heigl as Dr. Izzie Stevens First appearance `` A Hard Day 's Night '' ( 1.01 ) March 27 , 2005 Last appearance `` I Like You So Much Better When You 're Naked '' ( 6.12 ) January 21 , 2010 Created by Shonda Rhimes Portrayed by Katherine Heigl Information Full name Isobel Katherine Stevens Title M.D. Family Robbie Stevens ( Mother ) Hannah Klein ( Daughter ) Spouse ( s ) Alex Karev ( divorced ) Significant other ( s ) Hank Denny Duquette ( fiancé , deceased ) George O'Malley ( deceased ) Alex Karev ( divorced ) Religion Catholicism Isobel `` Izzie '' Katherine Stevens , M.D. is a fictional character from the medical drama television series Grey 's Anatomy , which airs on the American Broadcasting Company ( ABC ) in the United States . The character was created by series producer Shonda Rhimes , and was portrayed by actress Katherine Heigl from 2005 to 2010 . Introduced as a surgical intern at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital , Izzie worked her way up to resident level , while her relationships with her colleagues Meredith Grey ( Ellen Pompeo ) , Cristina Yang ( Sandra Oh ) , George O'Malley ( T.R. Knight ) and Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ) formed a focal point of the series . Heigl garnered critical acclaim for her performance as Izzie and received numerous awards and nominations for her role , winning the `` Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series '' at the 2007 Emmy Awards . She was critical of the character 's development during the show 's fourth season , particularly her romance with George . She declined to put herself forward for the 2008 Emmy Awards , citing insufficient material in the role . After speculation that Izzie would be killed off in the fifth season , the character was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic melanoma . She married Alex in the series ' one - hundredth episode , and afterwards , her tumor was successfully removed . Izzie made her final appearance in the sixth season , leaving Seattle after Alex refused to resume their marriage . Heigl requested to be released from her contract 18 months early , in order to spend more time with her family . In January 2012 , Heigl reported that she would like to return to Grey 's Anatomy to give closure to her character , however , Rhimes confirmed that there were no plans to have the character return at that time and has since stated that she has no plans to ever re-approach Izzie 's storyline again . Contents 1 Storylines 2 Development 2.1 Casting and creation 2.2 Characterization 3 Reception 4 References 5 External links Storylines ( edit ) Izzie appears in the first episode of Grey 's Anatomy , meeting fellow interns Meredith Grey , Cristina Yang , Alex Karev , and George O'Malley . She and George move in with Meredith and become best friends . Izzie 's boyfriend , hockey player Hank ( Jonathan Scarfe ) , struggles to accept her new role as a surgeon , and the two break up . Izzie is hurt when Alex exposes her past as a lingerie model . However , the two later go on to begin a friendship and then a romance . Alex experiences sexual dysfunction with Izzie and cheats on her with nurse Olivia Harper ( Sarah Utterback ) . When Izzie finds out , she breaks up with him , though they briefly reunite following a bomb incident at the hospital . Izzie reveals while treating a pregnant teenager that she had a daughter at the age of 16 and gave her up for adoption . Izzie falls in love with cardiothoracic patient Denny Duquette ( Jeffrey Dean Morgan ) , and the two become engaged . When Denny 's condition deteriorates , Izzie deliberately worsens his health further by cutting his LVAD wire to move him up the donor register . Although Denny receives a new heart , he has a stroke hours later and dies . Izzie is the sole beneficiary of Denny 's will , inheriting $8.7 million . She uses the money to open a free clinic at the hospital : the Denny Duquette Memorial Clinic . Izzie disapproves of George 's relationship and marriage to orthopedic resident Callie Torres ( Sara Ramirez ) . She and George sleep together , and attempt to keep their liaison a secret . George and resident Miranda Bailey ( Chandra Wilson ) are the only people aware that Izzie gave birth to a daughter at the age of sixteen ; ultimately the child was given up for adoption . He supports Izzie when her daughter Hannah ( Liv Hutchings ) , diagnosed with leukemia , arrives at Seattle Grace Hospital in need of a bone marrow transplant from Izzie . Izzie 's feelings for George grow , and she reveals that she has fallen in love with him . When Callie discovers George has been unfaithful , the two separate , and George and Izzie embark on a short - lived relationship , only to discover there is no real chemistry between them . Izzie supports Alex when he discovers his new girlfriend has psychiatric problems , and convinces him to have her committed . She is also handed primary responsibility for the clinic , as Bailey cuts back on her responsibilities . Izzie and Alex go on to rekindle their relationship , though Izzie is concerned when she begins hallucinating Denny . She discovers she has metastatic melanoma ( Stage IV ) which has spread to her liver , skin , and brain , causing the hallucinations . Her survival chances are estimated at only 5 % . She is admitted to Seattle Grace as a patient , and Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) successfully removes a tumor from her brain . Izzie spends her time in the hospital planning Meredith and Derek 's wedding , but when her condition worsens and Derek discovers a second brain tumor , they give the ceremony to Izzie and Alex , who marry in front of all their friends . The procedure to remove the second tumor from Izzie 's brain causes her to lose her short - term memory , and although she soon regains it , she flatlines moments later . The fifth season ends with her friends ignoring her DNR order and attempting to resuscitate her , transposed with images of Izzie in an elevator encountering George , who has been in an accident and is also currently flatlining . Though George dies , Izzie is resuscitated and recovers enough to return to work . Izzie makes a treatment error that endangers the life of a patient , and is fired from the hospital 's surgical program . Believing Alex is partially to blame , she writes him a Dear John letter and leaves . Izzie later learns that Alex was not responsible for her lost job , and returns to make amends with him , but Meredith informs her that Alex is moving on . Izzie informs Alex that she no longer has cancer . Although he is pleased , Alex officially breaks up with Izzie , telling her that he loves her but deserves better . She leaves Seattle to start fresh . Several episodes later , Alex informs Meredith that Izzie sent divorce papers , which he signs in the episode `` How Insensitive '' . In the sixth - season finale , Alex is shot and asks for Izzie . Imagining that Meredith 's half - sister Lexie ( Chyler Leigh ) is Izzie , he apologizes and asks her never to leave him again . In the 300th episode , Alex reveals he never found out what happened to Izzie , but envisions a perfect , happy life for her , always smiling , now that he has moved on . Development ( edit ) Casting and creation ( edit ) Heigl refused to be considered for the 2008 Emmy Awards due to insufficient material on Grey 's Anatomy . Izzie was created by Grey 's Anatomy producer Shonda Rhimes , with actress Katherine Heigl cast in the role . Heigl originally wanted to play Izzie as a brunette , but was requested to retain her natural blond for the part . Heigl 's comprehension of medical procedures and terminology is slight ; the actress explained that while she has an admiration for doctors , she is not as fascinated by medicine as other cast members . When Kate Walsh 's character Addison Montgomery left Grey 's Anatomy to launch the spin - off show Private Practice , Heigl disclosed that she had hoped for a spin - off for Izzie . Heigl declined to put her name forward for consideration at the 2008 Emmy Awards , claiming that she had been given insufficient material on the series to warrant a nomination . Following Heigl 's statement , speculation arose that her character would suffer a brain tumor and be killed off Grey 's Anatomy , substantiated by the announcement Jeffrey Dean Morgan would return to the series as Denny , who died at the end of season two . ABC 's entertainment president Steve McPherson denied the rumor , stating : `` There is an unbelievable storyline for her this year , which is really central to everything that 's going to go on this season '' . Speculation resumed , however , when Dean Morgan returned to the show for a second time in its fifth season . Cast member James Pickens , Jr. announced that both Heigl and T.R. Knight were set to depart from the show , but he later retracted his comment . During the course of the fifth season , Izzie was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma ( Stage IV ) which spread to her liver , skin and brain . Following the show 's one - hundredth episode wrap party , Heigl revealed she did not know if Izzie would survive , as no one on the production team would disclose her character 's fate to her . It was confirmed in June 2009 that Heigl would return as Izzie for the show 's sixth season . Heigl 's appearances in the season were sporadic , seeing Izzie depart and return twice . Although she was scheduled to appear in the final five episodes of the season , Heigl requested that she be released from her contract 18 months early , and made her final appearance on January 21 , 2010 . Heigl explained that she wanted to spend more time with her family , and did not think it would be respectful to Grey 's Anatomy viewers to have Izzie return and depart yet again . Michael Ausiello spoke further on Katherine Heigl 's perspective on Izzie 's departure . He said , `` ( Katherine ) thinks her Jan. 21 farewell - while not originally intended to be her last episode - oddly works as a bookend to Izzie 's story . `` Even though there 's a part of me that would like to go back and do the quick Izzie farewell , '' she says , `` I also think that my last scene - where Meredith says to Izzie , ' Do n't go , we 're your family , ' and Izzie 's response was , ' No you 're not , you 're just a bunch of people I worked with , and I can find that anywhere ' - was kind of tragic and appropriate all at the same time . When I was playing the scene I was really trying to convey that , for Izzie , that was a lie that she had to tell herself to have the courage to have to move on . '' In August 2010 , Rhimes stated that she did not feel Izzie 's character arc -- specifically her relationship with Alex -- had fully concluded , and hoped to give proper closure to their relationship in the seventh season . She later confirmed that she had intended to kill off Izzie off - screen , but opted against this a day later as she felt that it would destroy Alex , rather than give him closure . Instead , she concluded : `` I 'm open to seeing Izzie again . So if she ( Katherine ) were to come back , we would be thrilled to ( wrap up her story ) . But if she does n't , we 'll just move on . '' Heigl also went on to say in October 2010 that the character returning to show looks bleak because , `` that chapter is closed , and it 's sad . And it 's hard . '' She also felt that Izzie coming back to the show would , `` just feel manipulative . '' However , in January 2012 , Heigl stated in an interview that she has asked the producers if she could return to the show to give closure to Izzie 's storyline : `` I 've told them I want to ( return ) , '' she said . `` I really , really , really want to see where ( Izzie ) is . I just want to know what happened to her and where she went and what she 's doing now . My idea is that she actually like figures it out , and finds some success and does really well in a different hospital . She was always floundering you know , and so she was always one step behind the eight ball and I want to see that girl take some power back . '' She later went on to say that she regrets leaving the show , `` Oh yeah , sometimes , yeah . You miss it . I miss my friends . It was a great work environment ... and it becomes a family . I spent six years together with these people every day ... you grow up together , in a way , '' and again commented on Izzie possibly returning to the show , `` I always felt that if they wanted me to come back and sort of wrap up that storyline ... I want them to know that I 'm down with it if they want me to , but I completely understand if it does n't necessarily work ... They 've got a lot of story lines going on there . '' But in March 2012 , Shonda Rhimes said that there are no plans at the moment for the character to return , `` I think it was really nice to hear her appreciating the show . At the same time we are on a track we have been planning . The idea of changing that track is not something we are interested in right now . '' Three years later , Rhimes said she has completely moved on from the idea of Izzie coming back , `` I 'm done with that story . I 've turned that idea over in my mind a thousand times and thought about how it would go . And I do n't think so . '' Characterization ( edit ) Heigl believes that the Grey 's Anatomy writers incorporate much of the actors ' personalities into their roles , and that Izzie is a `` super moral '' version of herself . Episode `` Bring the Pain '' , which aired as the fifth episode of the second season , was originally intended to be the final episode of the first season . Rhimes explained that Izzie 's character in this episode came `` full circle '' from her role in the pilot : `` Izzie , so vulnerable and underestimated when we first meet her , is the girl who removes her heart from her sleeve in `` Bring the Pain '' . '' Discussing Izzie 's personality in a 2006 Cosmopolitan interview , Heigl assessed that she is `` immensely kind '' and patient . When Denny died in the season two episode `` Losing My Religion '' , Rhimes discussed the impact it had on Izzie , noting that Izzie is forced to abandon her idealism , which in turn leads to her letting go of medicine . In the aftermath of Denny 's death , Heigl came to believe that Izzie was not cut out to be a doctor . Executive producer Betsy Beers explained , however , that Denny 's death served to make Izzie more mature , and Heigl affirmed that `` At the beginning of the ( third ) season they were trying to show how lost Izzie was . She lost her optimism . She realizes now that life is difficult , but she still tries very hard to see the best in people . '' In order to demonstrate Izzie 's dislike of George 's love - interest Callie , Rhimes penned a scene which she deemed one of her favorite moments on the show , in which Callie urinates in front of a stunned Izzie and Meredith . Rhimes assessed that : `` I love that Mer and Izzie respond with all the trauma of having viewed a car crash ( ... ) the point is Callie pees and Izzie tortures her a tiny bit about the hand washing and that made me overjoyed because that 's the kind of thing people do . '' Discussing Izzie 's relationship with Alex in a 2006 Cosmopolitan interview , Heigl assessed that `` Even when Alex was a complete dirtbag to her ( Izzie ) , she forgave him and gave him another chance . And he really screwed her over . ( ... ) To go for a guy like that is to say I want to be damaged . ' '' Writer Stacy McKee deemed Izzie 's moving on from Alex to patient Denny Duquette `` karma '' , as Alex previously treated Izzie badly , yet as he begins to realize his true feelings , he is forced to watch her embark on a romance with `` the undeniably handsome - and totally charming '' Denny . Series writer Blythe Robe commented on Izzie and Denny : `` I love the way Izzie lights up when she 's around him . I love their relationship because it 's so pure and honest and completely game free . '' Writer Elizabeth Klaviter noted at this time the way Izzie `` seems to be sacrificing her reputation because of her feelings for Denny . '' When Izzie deliberately worsened Denny 's condition to move him up the transplant list , series writer Mark Wilding questioned the morality of the actions , asking : `` is Izzie bad for doing it ? Is she tremendously irresponsible ? She cut the LVAD wire for love so does that make her action understandable ? '' Heigl was critical of Izzie 's relationship with George ( T.R. Knight ) , deeming it `` a ratings ploy '' . Rhimes discussed costuming choices in the scene which saw the interns gather around Denny 's deathbed , explaining : `` Meredith and George and Cristina and Callie and Alex are all dressed , not for a prom , but for a funeral . Everyone in dark colors , everyone dressed somberly . As if they were in mourning . Only Izzie is in happy pink . Only Izzie looks like she did n't know this was coming . '' Following Denny 's death , Heigl approached Rhimes to ask when her character would next have a romantic liaison . Rhimes explained that `` Izzie does n't sleep around '' . Heigl expressed a desire for Izzie to reunite with Alex , explaining : `` I believe on some level , there 's a connection between Izzie and Alex . He can do honorable things even though he 's cutting and sarcastic . I would like to ultimately see them together , if not this season , then next . '' Yahoo ! Voices wrote that Stevens in the third season `` has become more condescending and passive aggressive herself , more than anyone else . '' Heigl was critical of her character 's development in the show 's fourth season , particularly her affair with George , which she deemed `` a ratings ploy '' . Heigl explained : `` They really hurt somebody , and they did n't seem to be taking a lot of responsibility for it . I have a really hard time with that kind of thing . I 'm maybe a little too black and white about it . I do n't really know Izzie very well right now . She 's changed a lot . '' Attempting to rationalise Izzie 's actions , Heigl later assessed that : People who are so infallible , perfect and moral tend to be the first to slip and fall . But I would love to see how she deals with the consequences of what she 's done , because what 's interesting is when people make decisions that shake their world , they suddenly have to go , ' Woo , I did n't know I was capable of this . ' I 'd like to see Izzie take some culpability . Reception ( edit ) Heigl was nominated for the `` Best Supporting Actress in a TV Series '' award at the 2007 and 2008 Golden Globe Awards for her role as Izzie . She was named `` Favorite Female TV Star '' at the 34th People 's Choice Awards , and awarded `` Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series '' at the 2007 Emmy Awards . Prior to the ceremony , considering Heigl 's chances of winning the Emmy , Variety 's Stuart Levine assessed of her performance : `` Heigl has little difficulty reaching Izzie 's highest highs and lowest lows . Showrunner Shonda Rhimes puts a lot of pressure on Heigl to carry many intense storylines , and she 's up to the challenge . '' Levine also noted , however : `` There are times when Izzie becomes completely irrational during crisis situations , which may bother some . '' Fox News included Izzie in its list of `` The Best TV Doctors For Surgeon General '' . The character was listed in Wetpaint 's `` 10 Hottest Female Doctors on TV '' and in BuzzFeed 's `` 16 Hottest Doctors On Television '' . Heigl at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards where she won the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series Award . During the show 's third season , the New York Post 's Robert Rorke deemed Izzie to be `` the heart and soul '' of Grey 's Anatomy . He deemed her the show 's heroine , and wrote that : `` Izzie is a welcome , calming presence , despite the devastation she experienced when she failed to save her patient and fiance Denny Duquette . ( ... ) Besides the formidable Dr. Bailey ( Chandra Wilson ) , Izzie seems to be the only adult intern at Seattle Grace ; the character has achieved a depth lacking in her fellow interns . '' Eyder Peralta of The Houston Chronicle was critical of Izzie 's ethics in cutting Denny 's LVAD wire , writing that she `` should not be practising medicine '' and stating : `` That 's the reason I do n't watch Grey 's Anatomy , anymore , because the super hot blond chick can make an earth - shattering , fatal decision and she does n't get canned . '' The season four romance between Izzie and George proved unpopular with viewers , and resulted in a fan backlash among Alex and Izzie fans . The return of Izzie 's deceased fiancé Denny and the resumption of their romance during the show 's fifth season also proved unpopular with fans , and was deemed `` the world 's worst storyline '' by Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times . McNamara was also critical of the episode `` Now or Never '' , which saw Izzie flatline following neurosurgery , opining that Izzie ought to die . The episode in which Izzie married long - term love Alex received 15.3 million viewers , the largest television audience of the night . Izzie 's cancer storyline received a mixed response from the medical community . Otis Brawley , chief medical officer at the American Cancer Society , commented that Izzie 's treatment options were unrealistic . Whereas in the show she was offered the drug interleukin - 2 , in reality the drug is never recommended to patients when melanoma has spread to the brain , as it can cause bleeding and strokes . Brawley explained that such patients would instead be offered radiosurgery . Conversely however , Tim Turnham , executive director of the Melanoma Research Foundation , praised Grey 's Anatomy for bringing about greater public awareness of melanoma , stating : `` We welcome the national spotlight Grey 's Anatomy has created for melanoma and its efforts to encourage viewers to learn more about the importance of prevention , early detection and research .

"Izzie supports Alex when he discovers his new girlfriend has psychiatric problems, and convinces him to have her committed. She is also handed primary responsibility for the clinic, as Bailey cuts back on her responsibilities.[18] Izzie and Alex go on to rekindle their relationship, though Izzie is concerned when she begins hallucinating Denny.[19] She discovers she has metastatic melanoma (Stage IV) which has spread to her liver, skin, and brain, causing the hallucinations. Her survival chances are estimated at only 5%.[20] She is admitted to Seattle Grace as a patient, and Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) successfully removes a tumor from her brain.[21] Izzie spends her time in the hospital planning Meredith and Derek's wedding, but when her condition worsens and Derek discovers a second brain tumor, they give the ceremony to Izzie and Alex, who marry in front of all their friends.[22] The procedure to remove the second tumor from Izzie's brain causes her to lose her short-term memory, and although she soon regains it, she flatlines moments later. The fifth season ends with her friends ignoring her DNR order and attempting to resuscitate her, transposed with images of Izzie in an elevator encountering George, who has been in an accident and is also currently flatlining.[23] Though George dies, Izzie is resuscitated and recovers enough to return to work.[24]\n"

He was best known for his leading role in the Starz television series Spartacus : Blood and Sand . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life and career 2 Personal life 3 Filmography 4 References 5 External links Early life and career ( edit ) Whitfield was born in Amlwch , Anglesey , Wales . He studied construction at Sheffield Hallam University in England . He moved to Australia in 1999 to work as a construction laborer in Lidcombe , before later settling in Sydney . He appeared in several Australian television series , such as Opening Up , All Saints , The Strip , Packed to the Rafters , and McLeod 's Daughters . Whitfield gained his first prominent role in the Australian supernatural film Gabriel . He also starred in the 2010 television series Spartacus : Blood and Sand , which was filmed in New Zealand . He portrays a version of the historical Spartacus , although in this retelling he is a conscripted soldier condemned to death who defeats all four of his executioners and is thereby recycled as a gladiator . The actual Spartacus , like this fictional version , led a rebellion against the Romans ( the Third Servile War ) . Whitfield also appeared in the Australian thriller The Clinic starring opposite Tabrett Bethell ( of Legend of the Seeker fame ) which was shot in Deniliquin . In August 2010 , Whitfield teamed up with Freddie Wong and created a 2 - minute YouTube video named `` Time Crisis '' , based on the game Time Crisis . Whitfield made a brief , uncredited voice - only appearance in the prequel mini-series Spartacus : Gods of the Arena , which premiered on 21 January 2011 . Personal life ( edit ) Whitfield met Vashti , an Iranian Australian , in London . The couple moved to Sydney and married in 2001 . They had two children together . In March 2010 , Whitfield was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and began undergoing treatment immediately in New Zealand . This delayed production of season two of Spartacus : Vengeance . While waiting for Whitfield 's treatment and expected recovery , the network produced a six - part prequel , Spartacus : Gods of the Arena , with only a brief uncredited voiceover from the actor . Although declared cancer - free in June 2010 , a routine medical check in September 2010 revealed a relapse and Whitfield was compelled to abandon the role . Starz recast Australian actor Liam McIntyre as Whitfield 's successor . Whitfield died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Sydney , Australia , on 11 September 2011 , 18 months after his initial cancer diagnosis .

( September 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The path of the Via Appia and of the Via Appia Traiana Remains of the Appian Way in Rome , near Casal Rotondo just 7 , 3 km from Porta San Sebastiano at Aurelian Walls , South - East off Colosseum , Rome Near Rome The Appian Way ( Latin and Italian : Via Appia ) is one of the earliest and strategically most important Roman roads of the ancient republic . It connected Rome to Brindisi , in southeast Italy . Its importance is indicated by its common name , recorded by Statius : Appia longarum ... regina viarum `` the Appian Way the queen of the long roads '' The road is named after Appius Claudius Caecus , the Roman censor who began and completed the first section as a military road to the south in 312 BC during the Samnite Wars .

The Appian Way was the first long road built specifically to transport troops outside the smaller region of greater Rome ( this was essential to the Romans ) . The few roads outside the early city were Etruscan and went mainly to Etruria . By the late Republic , the Romans had expanded over most of Italy and were masters of road construction . Their roads began at Rome , where the master itinerarium , or list of destinations along the roads , was located , and extended to the borders of their domain -- hence the expression , `` All roads lead to Rome '' . The Samnite Wars ( edit ) Romans had an affinity for the people of Campania , who , like themselves , traced their backgrounds to the Etruscans . The Samnite Wars were instigated by the Samnites when Rome attempted to ally itself with the city of Capua in Campania . The Italic speakers in Latium had long ago been subdued and incorporated into the Roman state . They were responsible for changing Rome from a primarily Etruscan to a primarily Italic state . Dense populations of sovereign Samnites remained in the mountains north of Capua , which is just north of the Greek city of Neapolis . Around 343 BC , Rome and Capua attempted to form an alliance , a first step toward a closer unity . The Samnites reacted with military force . The barrier of the Pontine Marshes ( edit ) Priscilla tomb Grave monument of Caius Rabirius Postumus Hermodorus , Lucia Rabiria Demaris and Usia Prima , priestess of Isis along the Via Appia , near Quarto Miglio San Sebastiano fuori le Mura , located on the catacombs of San Sebastiano Between Capua and Rome lay the Pontine Marshes ( Pomptinae paludes ) , a swamp infested with malaria . A tortuous coastal road wound between Ostia at the mouth of the Tiber and Neapolis . The via Latina followed its ancient and scarcely more accessible path along the foothills of Monti Laziali and Monti Lepini , which are visible towering over the former marsh . In the First Samnite War ( 343 -- 341 BC ) the Romans found they could not support or resupply troops in the field against the Samnites across the marsh . A revolt of the Latin League drained their resources further . They gave up the attempted alliance and settled with Samnium . Colonization to the southeast ( edit ) The Romans were only biding their time while they looked for a solution . The first answer was the colonia , a `` cultivation '' of settlers from Rome , who would maintain a permanent base of operations . The Second Samnite War ( 327 -- 304 BC ) erupted when Rome attempted to place a colony at Cales in 334 and again at Fregellae in 328 on the other side of the marshes . The Samnites , now a major power after defeating the Greeks of Tarentum , occupied Neapolis to try to ensure its loyalty . The Neapolitans appealed to Rome , which sent an army and expelled the Samnites from Neapolis . Appius Claudius ' beginning of the works ( edit ) In 312 BC , Appius Claudius Caecus became censor at Rome . He was of the gens Claudia , who were patricians descended from the Sabines taken into the early Roman state . He had been given the name of the founding ancestor of the gens . He was a populist , i.e. , an advocate of the common people . A man of inner perspicacity , in the years of success he was said to have lost his outer vision and thus acquired the name caecus , `` blind '' . Without waiting to be told what to do by the Senate , Appius Claudius began bold public works to address the supply problem . An aqueduct ( the Aqua Appia ) secured the water supply of the city of Rome . By far the best known project was the road , which ran across the Pontine Marshes to the coast northwest of Naples , where it turned north to Capua . On it , any number of fresh troops could be sped to the theatre of operations , and supplies could be moved en masse to Roman bases without hindrance by either enemy or terrain . It is no surprise that , after his term as censor , Appius Claudius became consul twice , subsequently held other offices , and was a respected consultant to the state even during his later years . The success of the road ( edit ) The road achieved its purpose . The outcome of the Second Samnite War was at last favorable to Rome . In a series of blows the Romans reversed their fortunes , bringing Etruria to the table in 311 BC , the very year of their revolt , and Samnium in 304 . The road was the main factor that allowed them to concentrate their forces with sufficient rapidity and to keep them adequately supplied , wherein they became a formidable opponent . Construction of the road ( edit ) The main part of the Appian Way was started and finished in 312 BC . The road began as a leveled dirt road upon which small stones and mortar were laid . Gravel was laid upon this , which was finally topped with tight fitting , interlocking stones to provide a flat surface . The historian Procopius said that the stones fit together so securely and closely that they appeared to have grown together rather than to have been fitted together . The road was cambered in the middle ( for water runoff ) and had ditches on either side of the road which were protected by retaining walls . Between Rome and lake albano ( edit ) The Circus of Maxentius . The road began in the Forum Romanum , passed through the Servian Wall at the porta Capena , went through a cutting in the clivus Martis , and left the city . For this stretch of the road , the builders used the via Latina . The building of the Aurelian Wall centuries later required the placing of another gate , the Porta Appia . Outside of Rome the new via Appia went through well - to - do suburbs along the via Norba , the ancient track to the Alban hills , where Norba was situated . The road at the time was a via glarea , a gravel road . The Romans built a high - quality road , with layers of cemented stone over a layer of small stones , cambered , drainage ditches on either side , low retaining walls on sunken portions , and dirt pathways for sidewalks . The via Appia is believed to have been the first Roman road to feature the use of lime cement . The materials were volcanic rock . The surface was said to have been so smooth that you could not distinguish the joints . The Roman section still exists and is lined with monuments of all periods , although the cement has eroded out of the joints , leaving a very rough surface . Across the marsh ( edit ) The road concedes nothing to the Alban hills , but goes straight through them over cuts and fills . The gradients are steep . Then it enters the former Pontine Marshes . A stone causeway of about 31 kilometers ( 19 mi ) led across stagnant and foul - smelling pools blocked from the sea by sand dunes . Appius Claudius planned to drain the marsh , taking up earlier attempts , but he failed . The causeway and its bridges subsequently needed constant repair . No one enjoyed crossing the marsh . In 162 BC , Marcus Cornelius Cathegus had a canal constructed along the road to relieve the traffic and provide an alternative when the road was being repaired . Romans preferred using the canal . Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella and the castrum Caetani Along the coast ( edit ) The via Appia picked up the coastal road at Tarracina ( Terracina ) . However , the Romans straightened it somewhat with cuttings , which form cliffs today . From there the road swerved north to Capua , where , for the time being , it ended . Caudine Forks was not far to the north . The itinerary was Aricia ( Ariccia ) , Tres Tabernae , Forum Appii , Tarracina , Fundi ( Fondi ) , Formiae ( Formia ) , Minturnae ( Minturno ) , Suessa ( ( ( S.P.Q.S ) ) ) , Casilinum and Capua , but some of these were colonies added after the Samnite Wars . The distance was 212 kilometers ( 132 mi ) . The original road had no milestones , as they were not yet in use . A few survive from later times , including a first milestone near the porta Appia . Extension to Beneventum ( edit ) Via Appia within the ancient Minturno The Third Samnite War ( 298 -- 290 BC ) is perhaps misnamed . It was an all - out attempt by all the neighbors of Rome : Italics , Etruscans and Gauls , to check the power of Rome . The Samnites were the leading people of the conspiracy . Rome dealt the northerners a crushing blow at the Battle of Sentinum in Umbria in 295 . The Samnites fought on alone . Rome now placed 13 colonies in Campania and Samnium . It must have been during this time that they extended the via Appia 35 miles beyond Capua past the Caudine forks to a place the Samnites called Maloenton , `` passage of the flocks '' . The itinerary added Calatia , Caudium and Beneventum ( not yet called that ) . Here also ended the via Latina . Extension to Apulia and Calabria ( edit ) By 290 BC , the sovereignty of the Samnites had ended . The heel of Italy lay open to the Romans . The dates are somewhat uncertain and there is considerable variation in the sources , but during the Third Samnite War the Romans seem to have extended the road to Venusia , where they placed a colony of 20,000 men . After that they were at Tarentum . Roman expansion alarmed Tarentum , the leading city of the Greek presence ( Magna Graecia ) in southern Italy . They hired the mercenary , King Pyrrhus of Epirus , in neighboring Greece to fight the Romans on their behalf . In 280 BC the Romans suffered a defeat at the hands of Pyrrhus at the Battle of Heraclea on the coast west of Tarentum . The battle was costly for both sides , prompting Pyrrhus to remark `` One more such victory and I am lost . '' Making the best of it , the Roman army turned on Greek Rhegium and effected a massacre of Pyrrhian partisans there . Rather than pursue them , Pyrrhus went straight for Rome along the via Appia and then the via Latina . He knew that if he continued on the via Appia he could be trapped in the marsh . Wary of such entrapment on the via Latina also , he withdrew without fighting after encountering opposition at Anagni . Wintering in Campania , he withdrew to Apulia in 279 BC , where , pursued by the Romans , he won a second costly victory at the Battle of Asculum . Withdrawing from Apulia for a Sicilian interlude , he returned to Apulia in 275 BC and started for Campania up the nice Roman road . Supplied by that same road , the Romans successfully defended the region against Pyrrhus , crushing his army in a two - day fight at the Battle of Beneventum in 275 BC . The Romans renamed the town from `` Maleventum '' ( `` site of bad events '' ) to Beneventum ( `` site of good events '' ) as a result . Pyrrhus withdrew to Greece , where he died in a street fight in Argos in 272 BC . Tarentum fell to the Romans that same year , who proceeded to consolidate their rule over all of Italy . The Romans pushed the via Appia to the port of Brundisium in 264 BC . The itinerary from Beneventum was now Venusia , Silvium , Tarentum , Uria and Brundisium . The Roman Republic was the government of Italy , for the time being . Appius Claudius died in 273 , but in extending the road a number of times , no one has tried to displace his name upon it . Extension by Trajan ( edit ) The emperor Trajan built the Via Traiana , an extension of the Via Appia from Beneventum , reaching Brundisium via Canusium and Barium rather than via Tarentum . This was commemorated by an arch at Beneventum . Travellers could cross the Adriatic Sea through the Otranto Strait towards Albania either by landing at present day Durrës through the Via Egnatia or near ancient town of Apollonia and continue towards present day Rrogozhina in central Albania . Notable historical events along the road ( edit ) The crucifixion of Spartacus ' army ( edit ) Emperor Trajan built a deviation of Via Appia . This is a tract of Via Appia Traiana near Egnatia . The column in Brindisi , marking the end of the Via Appia Further information : Third Servile War In 73 BC , a slave revolt ( known as the Third Servile War ) under the ex-gladiator of Capua , Spartacus , began against the Romans . Slavery accounted for roughly every third person in Italy . Spartacus defeated many Roman armies in a conflict that lasted for over two years . While trying to escape from Italy at Brundisium he unwittingly moved his forces into the historic trap in Apulia / Calabria . The Romans were well acquainted with the region . Legions were brought home from abroad and Spartacus was pinned between armies . The ex-slave army was defeated at Siler River by Crassus . Pompey 's armies captured and killed several thousand rebels that escaped from the battle and Crassus captured several thousand more . The Romans judged that the slaves had forfeited their right to live . In 71 BC , 6,000 slaves were crucified along the 200 - kilometer ( 120 mi ) Via Appia from Rome to Capua . The World War II Battle of Anzio ( edit ) Main article : Operation Shingle In 1943 , during World War II , the Allies fell into the same trap Pyrrhus had retreated to avoid , in the Pomptine fields , the successor to the Pomptine marshes . The marsh remained , despite many efforts to drain it , until engineers working for Benito Mussolini finally succeeded . ( Even so , the fields were infested with malarial mosquitos until the advent of DDT in 1950s . ) Hoping to break a stalemate at Monte Cassino , the Allies landed on the coast of Italy at Nettuno , ancient Antium , which was midway between Ostia and Terracina . They found that the place was undefended . They intended to move along the line of the via Appia to take Rome , outflanking Monte Cassino , but they did not do so quickly enough . The Germans occupied Mounts Laziali and Lepini along the track of the old Via Latina , from which they rained down shells on Anzio . Even though the Allies expanded into all the Pomptine region , they gained no ground . The Germans counterattacked down the via Appia from the Alban hills in a front four miles wide , but could not retake Anzio . The battle lasted for four months , one side being supplied by sea , the other by land through Rome . In May 1944 , the Allies broke out of Anzio and took Rome . The German forces escaped to the north of Florence . 1960 Summer Olympics ( edit ) For the 1960 Summer Olympics , it served as part of the men 's marathon course that was won by Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia . Main sights ( edit ) Via Appia Antica 4.1 km South - East from Porta Appia ( Porta San Sebastiano ) , the gate of the Aurelian Walls Via Appia Antica ( edit ) After the fall of the Western Roman Empire , the road fell out of use ; Pope Pius VI ordered its restoration . A new Appian Way was built in parallel with the old one in 1784 as far as the Alban Hills region . The new road is the Via Appia Nuova ( `` New Appian Way '' ) as opposed to the old section , now known as Via Appia Antica . The old Appian Way close to Rome is now a free tourist attraction . It was extensively restored for Rome 's Millennium and Great Jubilee celebrations . The first 5 kilometers ( 3 mi ) are still heavily used by cars , buses and coaches but from then on traffic is very light and the ruins can be explored on foot in relative safety . The Church of Domine Quo Vadis is in the second mile of the road . Along or close to the part of the road closest to Rome , there are three catacombs of Roman and early Christian origin and one of Jewish origin . The construction of Rome 's ring road , the Grande Raccordo Anulare or GRA , in 1951 caused the Appian Way to be cut in two . More recent improvements to the GRA have rectified this through the construction of a tunnel under the Appia , so that it is now possible to follow the Appia on foot for about 16 km ( 10 mi ) from its beginning near the Baths of Caracalla . Many parts of the original road beyond Rome 's environs have been preserved , and some are now used by cars ( for example , in the area of Velletri ) . The road inspires the last movement of Ottorino Respighi 's Pini di Roma . To this day the Via Appia contains the longest stretch of straight road in Europe , totaling 62 km ( 39 mi ) . Monuments along the via Appia ( edit ) The Appian Way as it appeared in Piranesi 's imagination ( 1756 ) 1st to 4th mile ( edit ) Porta Appia ( Porta San Sebastiano ) , the gate of the Aurelian Walls Church of Domine Quo Vadis Tomb of Priscilla Catacomb of Callixtus Hypogeum of Vibia San Sebastiano fuori le mura Catacombs of St Sebastian Vigna Randanini Jewish catacombs Circus of Maxentius Tomb of Caecilia Metella Roman baths of Capo di Bove Tomb of Hilarus Fuscus 5th mile ( edit ) The Mausoleum of the Curiazi has been dated to between the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Empire Mausoleum of the Orazi and Curiazi Villa dei Quintili , with nympheum , theatre , and baths Mausoleum of Casal Rotondo Torre Selce , a 12th - century tower built on a much older mausoleum 6th mile and beyond ( edit ) Minucia tomb Torre Selce Temple of Hercules Berrettia di Prete ( tomb and later church ) Mausoleum of Gallienus Tres Tabernae Villa of Publius Clodius Pulcher ( in the Villa Santa Caterina , owned by the Pontifical North American College ) , 14th mile Villa of Pompey Roman bridges along the road ( edit ) For an overview of the location of Roman bridges , see List of Roman bridges . There are the remains of several Roman bridges along the road , including the Ponte di Tre Ponti , Ponte di Vigna Capoccio , Viadotta di Valle Ariccia , Ponte Alto and Ponte Antico .

It combines an instrumental introduction , `` Foreplay '' , to the main song `` Long Time '' , generally played as one on the radio and listed as one track on the album . `` Long Time '' peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week ending March 5 , 1977 . It reached the Top 10 in Canada , peaking at No. 9 . The standalone `` Foreplay '' was released as the B - side of Boston 's next single `` Peace of Mind '' , which was released in April . In an interview for the Best of Boston CD , Scholz said that `` Foreplay '' was the first song he ever recorded , and he did this on a two - track machine in his basement . Scholz also stated that it was the first piece of music he ever wrote , and that he wrote it as far back as 1969 . An alternate mix of the song is available on the Epic Records Promo LP It 's a Knockout . It was a sampler LP of artists that had releases coming up in 1976 . This version has various differences in the mix and effects and also includes extra lyrics towards the end of the song . This version has never been available officially anywhere else . Contents ( hide ) 1 Content 2 In popular culture 3 Chart performance 3.1 Weekly charts 3.2 Year - end charts 4 Personnel 4.1 Foreplay 4.2 Long Time 5 Cover versions 6 References 7 External links Content ( edit ) `` Foreplay '' is a progressive instrumental prelude , primarily consisting of rapid triplet arpeggios on a Hammond M - 3 organ ( contrary to popular belief , the song was not recorded on a B - 3 , as Tom Scholz had a limited budget at the time and was unable to afford one ) with a bass part doubled by a clavinet , and drums , with lead guitar joining at the end . According to Scholz , leader and producer of Boston , the synthesizer - like swoops were produced by scraping a pick across the strings of an electric guitar in conjunction with distortion and delay . The three guitar solos on `` Long Time '' are played by Barry Goudreau , rather than Scholz , who played most of the guitar parts on Boston . Goudreau also plays the solo in `` Let Me Take You Home Tonight '' . Scholz played the solos in `` More Than a Feeling '' , `` Peace of Mind '' , `` Rock & Roll Band '' , and `` Something About You '' . Rolling Stone described `` Foreplay / Long Time '' as `` a perfect marriage of Led Zeppelin and Yes that plays musical chairs with electric and acoustic sounds . '' In popular culture ( edit ) In 2004 , `` Long Time '' was used as the background music for a series of television commercials , titled `` Timeless '' , for NASCAR , featuring a hypothetical race between drivers and cars of all eras of NASCAR competition . It was featured on YouTube on a Best of NASCAR 2013 video . In 2006 , `` Foreplay '' is featured near the end of The Sopranos episode The Fleshy Part of the Thigh ( Season 6 , Episode 4 ) .

It is only then that she discovers that he was actually an undercover CIA agent . When she learns he had been murdered , she recruits Mac Harper , a former Special Forces Operator , to help her find her husband 's killers . Henry Towler , her husband 's boss , then offers her the late husband 's job . Dani would pretend she was still a photographer and Mac would be her model . Henry would send them anywhere in the world where Americans are in trouble or criminals need to be caught . Once there , they act pretty much on their own . After the death of actor Jon - Erik Hexum , who played Mac , the episode `` Writer 's Block '' introduced Dani 's new assistant , Jack Striker .

He began playing Russian roulette with what he believed was a harmless . 44 Magnum prop gun and jokingly placed it to his temple and pulled the trigger . The shot sent the wadding from the blank cartridge at Hexum 's skull , driving a bone fragment the size of a quarter into his brain and causing massive hemorrhaging . Hexum was rushed to the hospital , where he eventually was declared brain dead . On October 18 , he was taken off life support .

It resulted in an Allied victory against the German armies in the west . The battle was the culmination of the German advance into France and pursuit of the Allied armies which followed the Battle of the Frontiers in August and had reached the eastern outskirts of Paris . A counter-attack by six French armies and the British Expeditionary Force ( BEF ) along the Marne River forced the Imperial German Army to retreat north - west , leading to the First Battle of the Aisne and the Race to the Sea . The battle was a victory for the Allied Powers but led to four years of trench warfare stalemate on the Western Front . The battle of the Marne was a major turning point of World War I. By the end of August 1914 , the whole Allied army on the Western Front had been forced into a general retreat back towards Paris . Meanwhile , the two main German armies continued through France . It seemed that Paris would be taken as both the French and the British fell back towards the Marne River . The war became a stalemate when the Allied Powers won the Battle of the Marne . It was the first major clash on the Western Front and one of the most important single events in the entire war . The German retreat left the Schlieffen Plan in ruins and Germany had no hope of a quick victory in France . Its army was left to fight a long war on two fronts . Field Marshall Sir John French , commander of the British Expeditionary Force ( BEF ) , began to plan for a full British retreat to port cities on the English Channel for an immediate evacuation . The military governor of Paris , Joseph Simon Gallieni , wanted to organise the French and British armies to counter the weight of the German army 's advance . After consulting Lord Kitchener about the use of British forces , Gallieni secured the overall command of the BEF , thus stopping Sir John 's planned withdrawal . Gallieni 's plan was simple . All Allied units would counter-attack the Germans along the Marne River , thus halting the German advance . As this was going on , Allied reserves would be thrown in to restore the ranks and attack the German flanks . On September 5 , in the mid afternoon , battle commenced when the French Sixth Army stumbled into the forward guard of the German First Army . By September 9 , it looked as though the German First and Second Armies would be totally encircled and destroyed . General von Moltke suffered a nervous breakdown upon hearing of the danger to his two armies . His subordinates took over and ordered a general retreat to the Aisne River in order to regroup . The retreating armies were pursued by the French and British , although the pace of the Allied advance was slow - a mere 19 km ( 12 miles ) in one day . The German armies ceased their retreat after 65 km ( 40 miles ) at a point north of the Aisne River , where they dug in , preparing trenches that were to last for several years . The German retreat between September 9 and September 13 marked the abandonment of the Schlieffen Plan . Moltke is said to have reported to the Kaiser : `` Your Majesty , we have lost the war . '' In the aftermath of the battle , both sides dug in and four years of stalemate ensued .

A series of encounter battles began between the German , French and Belgian armies on the German - French frontier and in southern Belgium on 4 August 1914 . Liège was occupied by the Germans on 7 August . The first units of the British Expeditionary Force ( BEF ) landed in France and French troops crossed the German frontier . The Battle of Mulhouse ( Battle of Alsace 7 -- 10 August ) was the first French offensive of World War I . The French captured Mulhouse , until forced out by a German counter-attack on 11 August , and fell back toward Belfort . On 12 August , the Battle of Haelen was fought by German and Belgian cavalry and infantry , resulting in a Belgian defensive success . The BEF completed its move of four divisions and a cavalry division to France on 16 August , as the last Belgian fort of the Fortified Position of Liège ( Position fortifiée de Liège ) surrendered . The Belgian government withdrew from Brussels on 18 August . The main French offensive , the Battle of Lorraine ( 14 -- 25 August ) , began with the Battles of Morhange and Sarrebourg ( 14 -- 20 August ) advances by the First Army on Sarrebourg and the Second Army towards Morhange . Château - Salins near Morhange was captured on 17 August and Sarrebourg the next day . The German 6th and 7th Armies counter-attacked on 20 August , and the Second Army was forced back from Morhange and the First Army was repulsed at Sarrebourg . The German armies crossed the border and advanced on Nancy , but were stopped to the east of the city . The Belgian 4th Division , the solitary part of the Belgian army not to retreat to the defensive lines around Antwerp , dug in to defend Namur , which was besieged on 20 August . Further west , the French Fifth Army had concentrated on the Sambre by 20 August , facing north on either side of Charleroi and east towards Namur and Dinant . Additional support was given to the Belgians at Namur by the French 45th Infantry Brigade . On the left , the Cavalry Corps of General Sordet linked up with the BEF at Mons . France , Germany , Luxembourg and Belgium , 1914 To the south , the French retook Mulhouse on 19 August and then withdrew . By 20 August , a German counter-offensive in Lorraine had begun and the German 4th and 5th Armies advanced through the Ardennes on 19 August towards Neufchâteau . An offensive by the French Third and Fourth Armies through the Ardennes began on 20 August in support of the French invasion of Lorraine . The opposing armies met in thick fog ; the French mistook the German troops for screening forces . On 22 August , the Battle of the Ardennes ( 21 -- 28 August ) began with French attacks , which were costly to both sides and forced the French into a disorderly retreat late on 23 August . The Third Army recoiled towards Verdun , pursued by the 5th Army , and the Fourth Army retreated to Sedan and Stenay . Mulhouse was recaptured again by German forces and the Battle of the Meuse ( 26 -- 28 August ) , caused a temporary halt of the German advance .

( September 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : Great Retreat German and Allied positions , 23 August -- 5 September 1914 The Great Retreat took place from 24 August to 5 September ; the French Fifth Army fell back about 15 kilometres ( 10 mi ) from the Sambre during the Battle of Charleroi ( 22 August ) and began a greater withdrawal from the area south of the Sambre on 23 August . That evening , the 12,000 Belgian troops at Namur withdrew into French - held territory and at Dinant , 674 men , women and children were summarily executed by Saxon troops of the German 3rd Army ; the first of several civilian massacres committed by the Germans in 1914 . At the Battle of Mons ( 23 August ) , the BEF attempted to hold the line of the Mons -- Condé Canal against the advancing German 1st Army . The British were eventually forced to withdraw due to being outnumbered by the Germans and the sudden retreat of the French Fifth Army , which exposed the British right flank . Though planned as a simple tactical withdrawal and executed in good order , the British retreat from Mons lasted for two weeks , and covered 400 kilometres ( 250 mi ) . During the retreat , BEF commander Sir John French began to make contingency plans for a full retreat to the ports on the English Channel followed by an immediate British evacuation . On 1 September Lord Kitchener , the British Secretary of State for War , met with French ( and French Prime Minister Viviani and War Minister Millerand ) , and ordered him not to withdraw to the Channel . The BEF retreated to the outskirts of Paris , before it counter-attacked in concert with the French , in the Battle of the Marne . The French First and Second Armies had been pushed back , by attacks of the German 7th and 6th Armies between St. Dié and Nancy . The Third Army held positions east of Verdun against attacks by the German 5th Army ; the Fourth Army held positions from the junction with the Third Army south of Montmédy , westwards to Sedan , Mezières , and Fumay , facing the German 4th Army ; the Fifth Army was between Fumay and Maubeuge ; the Third Army was advancing up the Meuse valley from Dinant and Givet , into a gap between the Fourth and Fifth Armies and the Second Army pressed forward into the angle between the Meuse and Sambre , directly against the Fifth Army . On the far west flank of the French , the BEF prolonged the line from Maubeuge to Valenciennes against the German 1st Army and Army Detachment von Beseler masked the Belgian army at Antwerp . On 26 August , German forces captured Valenciennes and began the Siege of Maubeuge ( 24 August -- 7 September ) . Leuven , ( Louvain ) was sacked by German troops and the Battle of Le Cateau was fought by the BEF and the First Army . Longwy was surrendered by its garrison and next day , British marines and a party of the Royal Naval Air Service ( RNAS ) landed at Ostend ; German troops occupied Lille and Mezières . Arras was occupied on 27 August and a French counter-offensive began at the Battle of St. Quentin ( Battle of Guise 29 -- 30 August ) . On 29 August , the Fifth Army counter-attacked the German 2nd Army south of the Oise , from Vervins to Mont - d'Origny and west of the river from Mont - d'Origny to Moy towards St. Quentin on the Somme , while the British held the line of the Oise west of La Fère . German troops captured Laon , La Fère , and Roye on 30 August and Amiens the next day . On 1 September , the Germans entered Craonne and Soissons . On 5 September German troops reached Claye - Souilly , 15 kilometres ( 10 mi ) from Paris , captured Reims , and withdrew from Lille , and the BEF ended its retreat from Mons . Also on that day French troops counterattacked in the Battle of the Ourcq 5 -- 12 September , marking the end of the Great Retreat of the western flank of the Franco - British armies . In the east , the Second Army had withdrawn its left flank , to face north between Nancy and Toul ; the First and Second Armies had slowed the advance of the German 7th and 6th Armies west of St. Dié and east of Nancy by 4 September . There was a gap between the left of the Second Army and the right of the Third Army at Verdun , which faced north - west , on a line towards Revigny , against the Fifth Army advance west of the Meuse between Varennes and Sainte - Menehould . The Fourth Army had withdrawn to Sermaize , westwards to the Marne at Vitry - le - François and crossed the river to Sompons , against the German 4th Army , which had advanced from Rethel to Suippes and the west of Châlons . The new French Ninth Army held a line from Mailly against the German 3rd Army , which had advanced from Mézières , over the Vesle and the Marne west of Chalons . The Second Army had advanced from Marle on the Serre , across the Aisne and the Vesle , between Reims and Fismes to Montmort , north of the junction of the French 9th and 5th Armies at Sézanne . The Fifth Army and the BEF had withdrawn south of the Oise , Serre , Aisne , and Ourq , pursued by the German 2nd Army on a line from Guise to Laon , Vailly , and Dormans and by the 1st Army from Montdidier , towards Compiègne and then south - east towards Montmirail . French garrisons were besieged at Metz , Thionville , Longwy , Montmédy , and Maubeuge . The Belgian army was invested at Antwerp in the National Redoubt and Belgian fortress troops continued the defence of the Liège forts . The Military governor of Paris , General Joseph Gallieni , was tasked with the defence of the city . Prelude ( edit ) French infantry charge , 1914 Western flank ( edit ) Battle of the Marne positions on 9 September Taxi cab of the Marne Late on 4 September , Joffre ordered the Sixth Army to attack eastwards over the Ourcq towards Château Thierry as the BEF advanced towards Montmirail , and the Fifth Army attacked northwards with its right flank protected by the Ninth Army along the St. Gond marshes . On 5 September , the Battle of the Ourcq commenced when the Sixth Army advanced eastwards from Paris . That morning it came into contact with cavalry patrols of the IV Reserve Corps of General Hans von Gronau , on the right flank of the 1st Army west of the Ourcq River . Seizing the initiative in the early afternoon , the two divisions of IV Reserve Corps attacked with field artillery and infantry into the gathering Sixth Army and pushed it back . Overnight , the IV Reserve Corps withdrew to a better position 10 kilometres ( 6.2 mi ) east , while Von Kluck , alerted to the approach of the Allied forces , began to wheel his army to face west . Gronau ordered the II Corps to move back to the north bank of the Marne , which began a redeployment of all four 1st Army corps to the north bank which continued until 8 September . The swift move to the north bank prevented the Sixth Army from crossing the Ourcq . In this move against the French threat from the west , von Kluck ignored the Franco - British forces advancing from the south against his left flank and opened a 50 - kilometre ( 30 mi ) gap in the German lines between the 1st Army and the 2nd Army on its left ( east ) . Allied air reconnaissance observed German forces moving north to face the Sixth Army and discovered the gap . The Allies were prompt in exploiting the break in the German lines , sending the BEF and the Fifth Army into the gap between the two German armies . The right wing of the Fifth Army attacked on 6 September and pinned the 2nd Army in the Battle of the Two Morins , named for the two rivers in the area , the Grand Morin and Petit Morin . The BEF advanced on 6 -- 8 September , crossed the Petit Morin , captured bridges over the Marne , and established a bridgehead 8 kilometres ( 5 mi ) deep . The Fifth Army by 8 September crossed the Petit Morin , which forced Bülow to withdraw the right flank of the 2nd Army . Next day the Fifth Army recrossed the Marne , and the German 1st and 2nd Armies began to retire . The Germans had still hoped to smash the Sixth Army between 6 and 8 September , but the Sixth Army was reinforced on the night of 7 / 8 September by 10,000 French reserve infantry ferried from Paris . This included about 3,000 men from the Seventh Division who were transported in a fleet of Paris taxicabs requisitioned by General Gallieni . On 7 September 1914 , General Gallieni gathered about six hundred taxicabs at Les Invalides in central Paris to carry soldiers to the front at Nanteuil - le - Haudouin , fifty kilometres away . Each taxi carried five soldiers , four in the back and one next to the driver . Only the back lights of the taxis were lit ; the drivers were instructed to follow the lights of the taxi ahead . Most of the taxis were demobilised on September 8 but some remained longer to carry the wounded and refugees . The taxis , following city regulations , dutifully ran their meters . The French treasury reimbursed the total fare of 70,012 francs . The arrival of six thousand soldiers by taxi has traditionally been described as critical in stopping a possible German breakthrough against the 6th Army . However , in 2001 , Strachan described the course of the battle without mentioning taxis and in 2009 , Herwig called the matter a legend : he wrote that many French soldiers travelled in lorries and all the artillery left Paris by train . The impact on morale was undeniable , the taxis de la Marne were perceived as a manifestation of the union sacrée of the French civilian population and its soldiers at the front , reminiscent of the people in arms who had saved the French Republic Campaign of 1794 : a symbol of unity and national solidarity beyond their strategical role in the battle . It was also the first large - scale use of motorised infantry in battle ; a Marne taxicab is prominently displayed in the exhibit on the battle at the Musée de l'Armée at Les Invalides in Paris . The reinforced Sixth Army held its ground . The following night , on 8 September , the Fifth Army launched a surprise attack against the 2nd Army , further widening the gap between the 1st and 2nd Armies . Moltke , at OHL in Luxembourg , was effectively out of communication with the German army HQs . He sent his intelligence officer , Oberstleutnant Richard Hentsch to visit the HQs . On 8 September , Hentsch met with Bülow , and they agreed that the 2nd Army was in danger of encirclement and would retreat immediately . On 9 September , Hentsch reached the 1st Army 's HQ , met with von Kluck 's chief of staff , and issued orders for the 1st Army to retreat to the Aisne River . Moltke suffered a nervous breakdown upon hearing of the danger . His subordinates took over and ordered a general retreat to the Aisne , to regroup for another offensive . The Germans were pursued by the French and British , although the pace of the exhausted Allied forces was slow and averaged only 19 km ( 12 mi ) per day . The Germans ceased their retreat after 65 km ( 40 mi ) , at a point north of the Aisne River , where they dug in , preparing trenches . By 10 September the German armies west of Verdun were retreating towards the Aisne . Joffre ordered Allied troops to pursue , leading to the First Battle of the Aisne ( see below ) . The German retreat from 9 -- 13 September marked the end of the Schlieffen Plan . Moltke is said to have reported to the Kaiser : `` Your Majesty , we have lost the war . '' ( Majestät , wir haben den Krieg verloren ) . Whether General von Moltke actually said to the Emperor , `` Majesty , we have lost the war , '' we do not know . We know anyhow that with a prescience greater in political than in military affairs , he wrote to his wife on the night of the 9th , `` Things have not gone well . The fighting east of Paris has not gone in our favour , and we shall have to pay for the damage we have done '' . Eastern flank ( edit ) See also : Battle of Grand Couronné The German 3rd , 4th and 5th Armies attacked the French Second , Third , Fourth and Ninth Armies in the vicinity of Verdun beginning 5 -- 6 September . German attacks against the Second Army south of Verdun from 5 September almost forced the French to retreat . South - east of Verdun , the Third Army was forced back to the west of Verdun by German attacks on the Meuse Heights , but maintained contact with Verdun and the Fourth Army to the west . Other fighting included the capture of the village of Revigny in the Battle of Revigny ( Bataille de Revigny ) , the Battle of Vitry ( Bataille de Vitry ) around Vitry - le - François , and the Battle of the Marshes of Saint - Gond around Sézanne . On 7 September German advances created a salient south of Verdun at St. Mihiel , which threatened to separate the Second and Third Armies . General Castelnau prepared to abandon the French position around Nancy , but his staff contacted Joffre , who ordered Castelnau to hold for another 24 hours . German attacks continued through 8 September but soon began to taper off as Moltke began shifting troops to the west . By 10 September the Germans had received orders to stop attacking and withdrawal towards the frontier became general . Aftermath ( edit ) Analysis ( edit ) At the start of the war both sides had plans that they counted on to deliver a short war . However , both sides were ultimately disappointed . The Battle of the Marne was the second great battle on the Western Front , after the Battle of the Frontiers , and one of the most important events of the war . While the German Schlieffen Plan failed to decisively defeat the Allied Powers in France , the German army occupied a good portion of northern France as well as most of Belgium and it was the failure of the French Plan 17 that caused that situation . It is generally agreed among historians that the battle was an Allied victory that saved Paris and kept France in the war , but there is considerable disagreement as to the extent of the victory . After the battle of the Marne the German Armies retreated for up to 90 kilometres ( 56 mi ) and lost 11,717 prisoners , 30 field guns and 100 machine - guns to the French and 3,500 prisoners to the British before reaching the Aisne . The German retreat ended their hope of pushing the French beyond the Verdun -- Marne -- Paris line and winning a quick victory . Following the battle and the failures by both sides to turn the opponent 's northern flank during the Race to the Sea , the war of movement ended with the Germans and the Allied Powers facing each other across a stationary front line . Both sides were faced with the prospect of costly siege warfare operations if they chose to continue an offensive strategy in France . Historians ' interpretations characterise the Allied advance as a success . While Terraine contemporised that `` nowhere , and at no time , did it present the traditional aspect of victory '' , he stated that the French and British stroke into the breach between the 1st and 2nd German Armies `` made the battle of the Marne the decisive battle of the war '' . Tuchman and Doughty wrote that Joffre 's victory at the Marne was far from decisive , Tuchman calling it an `` ... incomplete victory of the Marne ... '' and Doughty ( the ) `` ... opportunity for a decisive victory had slipped from his hands . '' Sumner called it a flawed victory and that it proved impossible to deal the German armies `` a decisive blow '' . Tuchman wrote that Kluck explained the German failure at the Marne as : `` ... the reason that transcends all others was the extraordinary and peculiar aptitude of the French soldier to recover quickly . ( ... ) That men will let themselves be killed where they stand , that is well - known and counted on in every plan of battle . But that men who have retreated for ten days , sleeping on the ground and half dead with fatigue , should be able to take up their rifles and attack when the bugle sounds , is a thing upon which we never counted . It was a possibility not studied in our war academy . '' The significance of the battle centres on its undermining of the Schlieffen Plan , which forced Germany to fight a two - front war against France and Russia -- the exact scenario that its strategists had long feared . Historian Richard Brooks claimed that , `` By frustrating the Schlieffen Plan , Joffre had won the decisive battle of the war , and perhaps of the century . '' The Battle of the Marne was also one of the first battles in which reconnaissance aircraft played a decisive role , by discovering weak points in the German lines , which the Allied Powers were able to exploit . Casualties ( edit ) Over two million men fought in the First Battle of the Marne and although there are no exact official casualty counts for the battle , estimates for the actions of September along the Marne front for all armies are often given as c. 500,000 killed or wounded . French casualties totalled 250,000 men , of whom 80,000 were killed . Some notable people died in the battle , such as Charles Péguy , who was killed while leading his platoon during an attack at the beginning of the battle . Tuchman gave French casualties for August as 206,515 from Armées Françaises and Herwig gave French casualties for September as 213,445 , also from Armées Françaises for a total of just under 420,000 in the first two months of the war . According to Roger Chickering , German casualties for the 1914 campaigns on the Western Front were 500,000 . British casualties were 13,000 men , with 1,700 killed . The Germans suffered c. 250,000 casualties . No future battle on the Western Front would average so many casualties per day . In 2009 , Herwig re-estimated the casualties for the battle . He wrote that the French Official History , Les armées françaises dans la grande guerre , gave 213,445 French casualties in September and assumed that c. 40 % occurred during the Battle of the Marne . Using the German Sanitätsberichte , Herwig recorded that from 1 -- 10 September , the 1st Army had 13,254 casualties , the 2nd Army had 10,607 casualties , the 3rd Army had 14,987 casualties , the 4th Army had 9,433 casualties , the 5th Army had 19,434 casualties , the 6th Army had 21,200 casualties and the 7th Army had 10,164 casualties . Herwig estimated that the five German Armies from Verdun to Paris had 67,700 casualties during the battle and assumed 85,000 casualties for the French . Herwig wrote that there were 1,701 British casualties ( the British Official History noted that these losses were incurred from 6 -- 10 September ) . Herwig estimated 300,000 casualties for all sides at the Marne but questioned whether isolating the battle was justified . In 2010 , Ian Sumner wrote that there were 12,733 British casualties , including 1,700 dead . Sumner cites the same overall casualty figure for the French for September as Herwig from Armées Françaises , which includes the losses at the battle of the Aisne , as 213,445 but provides a further breakdown : 18,073 killed , 111,963 wounded and 83,409 missing . Subsequent operations ( edit ) First Battle of the Aisne , 13 -- 28 September ( edit ) Main article : First Battle of the Aisne Opposing positions : 5 September ( dashed line ) 13 September ( black line ) On 10 September , Joffre ordered the French armies and the BEF to advance and for four days , the Armies on the left flank moved forward and gathered up German stragglers , wounded and equipment , opposed only by rearguards . On 11 and 12 September , Joffre ordered outflanking manoeuvres by the armies on the left flank but the advance was too slow to catch the Germans , who ended their withdrawal on 14 September , on high ground on the north bank of the Aisne and began to dig in . Frontal attacks by the Ninth , Fifth , and Sixth Armies were repulsed from 15 -- 16 September . This led Joffre to transfer the Second Army west to the left flank of the Sixth Army , the first phase of Allied attempts to outflank the German armies in `` The Race to the Sea '' . French troops had begun to move westwards on 2 September , using the undamaged railways behind the French front , which were able to move a corps to the left flank in 5 -- 6 days . On 17 September , the French Sixth Army attacked from Soissons to Noyon , at the westernmost point of the French flank , with the XIII and IV corps , which were supported by the 61st and 62nd divisions of the 6th Group of Reserve Divisions . After this the fighting moved north to Lassigny and the French dug in around Nampcel . The French Second Army completed a move from Lorraine and took over command of the left - hand corps of the Sixth Army , as indications appeared that German troops were also being moved from the eastern flank . The German IX Reserve Corps arrived from Belgium by 15 September and next day joined the 1st Army for an attack to the south - west , with the IV Corps and the 4th and 7th cavalry divisions , against the attempted French envelopment . The attack was cancelled and the IX Reserve Corps was ordered to withdraw behind the right flank of the 1st Army . The 2nd and 9th Cavalry divisions were dispatched as reinforcements next day but before the retirement began , the French attack reached Carlepont and Noyon , before being contained on 18 September . The German armies attacked from Verdun westwards to Reims and the Aisne at the Battle of Flirey ( 19 September -- 11 October ) , cut the main railway from Verdun to Paris and created the St. Mihiel salient , south of the Verdun fortress zone . The main German effort remained on the western flank , which was revealed to the French by intercepted wireless messages . By 28 September , the Aisne front had stabilised and the BEF began to withdraw on the night of 1 / 2 October , with the first troops arriving in the Abbeville on the Somme on the night of 8 / 9 October . The BEF prepared to commence operations in French Flanders and Flanders in Belgium , joining with the British forces that had been in Belgium since August . Race to the Sea ( edit ) Main article : Race to the Sea German and Allied operations , Artois and Flanders , September -- November 1914 From 17 September -- 17 October the belligerents made reciprocal attempts to turn the northern flank of their opponent . Joffre ordered the French Second Army to move to the north of the French Sixth Army , by moving from eastern France from 2 -- 9 September and Falkenhayn who had replaced Moltke on 14 September , ordered the German 6th Army to move from the German - French border to the northern flank on 17 September . By the next day , French attacks north of the Aisne led Falkenhayn to order the 6th Army to repulse the French and secure the flank . The French advance at the First Battle of Picardy ( 22 -- 26 September ) met a German attack rather than an open flank and by the end of the Battle of Albert ( 25 -- 29 September ) , the Second Army had been reinforced to eight Corps but was still opposed by German forces at the Battle of Arras ( 1 -- 4 October ) , rather than advancing around the German northern flank . The German 6th Army had also found that on arrival in the north , it was forced to oppose the French attack rather than advance around the flank and that the secondary objective , to protect the northern flank of the German Armies in France , had become the main task . By 6 October , the French needed British reinforcements to withstand German attacks around Lille . The BEF had begun to move from the Aisne to Flanders on 5 October and reinforcements from England assembled on the left flank of the Tenth Army , which had been formed from the left flank units of the 2nd Army on 4 October . The Allied Powers and the Germans attempted to take more ground after the `` open '' northern flank had disappeared . The Franco - British attacks towards Lille in October at the battles of La Bassée , Messines and Armentières ( October -- November ) were followed up by attempts to advance between the BEF and the Belgian army by a new French Eighth Army . The moves of the 7th and then the 6th Army from Alsace and Lorraine had been intended to secure German lines of communication through Belgium , where the Belgian army had sortied several times , during the period between the Great Retreat and the Battle of the Marne ; in August , British marines had landed at Dunkirk . In October , a new 4th Army was assembled from the III Reserve Corps , the siege artillery used against Antwerp , and four of the new reserve corps training in Germany . A German offensive began by 21 October but the 4th and 6th Armies were only able to take small amounts of ground , at great cost to both sides at the Battle of the Yser ( 16 -- 31 October ) and further south in the First Battle of Ypres ( 19 October -- 22 November ) . Falkenhayn then attempted to achieve a limited goal of capturing Ypres and Mont Kemmel .

"The Battle of the Marne (French: Première bataille de la Marne, also known as the Miracle of the Marne, Le Miracle de la Marne) was a World War I battle fought from 6–10 September 1914.[1] It resulted in an Allied victory against the German armies in the west. The battle was the culmination of the German advance into France and pursuit of the Allied armies which followed the Battle of the Frontiers in August and had reached the eastern outskirts of Paris. A counter-attack by six French armies and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) along the Marne River forced the Imperial German Army to retreat north-west, leading to the First Battle of the Aisne and the Race to the Sea. The battle was a victory for the Allied Powers but led to four years of trench warfare stalemate on the Western Front."

The people that support Sa Huynh civilization were sea faring Austronesian - speaking people . The Sa Huynh relics can be found in several sites on the coasts of South China Sea , from Palawan in the Philippines to Orchid Island near Taiwan , suggesting that they sailed , settled and traded around the coasts of South China Sea . 3rd century BC ( edit ) It has been claimed by the People 's Republic of China on the argument that since 200 BC Chinese fishermen have used the Spratly islands . 3rd century ( edit ) Two famous Chinese books authored by Wan Zhen of the Eastern Wu State and published during the Three Kingdoms period ( 220 -- 280 AD ) and a work titled Guangzhou Ji ( Chronicles of Guangzhou ) authored by Pei Yuan of the Jin Dynasties described the Paracel and Spratly islands . The local government of the Jin Dynasties exercised jurisdiction over the islands by sending patrolling naval boats to the surrounding sea areas . 5th -- 13th centuries ( edit ) Naval forces of the Song State of the Southern Dynasties ( 420 -- 479 AD ) patrolled the Paracel and Spratly islands . In the Tang dynasty ( 618 -- 907 AD ) , the islands were placed under the administration and authority of the Qiongzhou Perfecture ( now Hainan Province ) . Chinese administration of the South China Sea continued into the North and South Song dynasties ( 970 -- 1279 ) . Archaeologists have found Chinese made potteries porcelains and other historical relics from the Southern dynasties ( 420 -- 589 ) , the Sui dynasties ( 581 -- 618 ) , the Tang dynasty ( 618 -- 907 ) , the Song Dynasties ( 960 -- 1279 ) , the Yuan dynasties ( 1206 -- 1368 ) , the Ming dynasty ( 1368 -- 1644 ) and later eras up to modern times on the South China Sea islands . 6th -- 15th centuries ( edit ) The South China Sea was known as the `` Champa Sea '' by sailors and traders in the region . It was named after a Hindu thalassocratic empire Champa that flourished in the area around that period . 19th century ( edit ) French soldiers and local townsfolk pose for the camera in front of a temple in Makung in the Pescadores Islands . Paklung , Fangchenggang on an 1888 map Ka Long old bridge on Ka Long river in Móng Cái , actual Nord - East border of China and Vietnam Guangzhouwan , actual Zhanjiang 1816 -- Annamese emperor Gia Long ordered a company to the Paracel Islands to make a survey and draw a map . 1835 -- Annam erects a pagoda in the Paracel Islands 1870 - Captain Meads explores the islands and lays official claim to both Spratly and Parcel groups . The Kingdom of Humanity is established . 1876 -- China makes its earliest documented claim to the Paracel Islands 1883 -- When the Spratlys and Paracels were surveyed by Germany in 1883 , China issued protests . 1884 -- 1885 Sino - French War . In December 1884 , alarmed by Japanese ambitions in Korea , Empress Dowager Cixi ordered her ministers to extricate China from the undeclared war with France that had broken out on 23 August . Important French victories in Tonkin and Formosa in February and early March 1885 strengthened her desire to end the Sino - French War , and although the Chinese won an unexpected victory in Tonkin in late March , defeating General de Négrier 's 2nd Brigade at Bang Bo and reoccupying Lang Son , this success was counterbalanced by the simultaneous French capture of the Pescadores Islands . China 's position in early April 1885 was critical . Seizing the opportunity offered by the fall of the Ferry ministry , the Chinese agreed to implement the provisions of the May 1884 Tientsin Accord , which recognised France 's protectorate over Vietnam . In return , the French dropped their longstanding demand for an indemnity for the Bac Le Ambush . After a flurry of negotiations in Paris in the first days of April 1885 , peace was made on this basis . 11 May 1884 - The Tientsin Accord or Li -- Fournier Convention , concluded on 11 May 1884 , was intended to settle an undeclared war between France and China over the sovereignty of Tonkin ( northern Vietnam ) . The convention , negotiated by Li Hung - chang for China and capitaine de vaisseau François - Ernest Fournier for France , provided for a Chinese troop withdrawal from Tonkin in return for a comprehensive treaty that would settle details of trade and commerce between France and China and provide for the demarcation of its disputed border with Vietnam . 9 June 1885 - The Treaty of Tientsin , signed on 9 June 1885 , officially ended the Sino - French War . The unequal treaty restated in greater detail the main provisions of the Tientsin Accord , signed between France and China on 11 May 1884 . As Article 2 required China to recognise the French protectorate over Annam and Tonkin established by the Treaty of Hue in June 1884 , implicitly abandoning her own claims to suzerainty over Vietnam , the treaty formalised France 's victory in the Sino - French War . 1887 -- In the 19th century , Europeans found that Chinese fishermen from Hainan annually visited the Spratly islands for part of the year , while in 1877 it was the British who launched the first modern legal claims to the Spratlys . 1887 -- The Convention Respecting the Delimitation of the Frontier Between China and Tonkin between France and the Qing Empire set the maritime boundary in the Gulf of Tonkin . The 1887 Chinese - Vietnamese Boundary convention signed between France and China after the Sino - French War said that China was the owner of the Spratly and Paracel islands . The 1887 Convention Respecting the Delimitation of the Frontier Between China and Tonkin between France and the Qing Empire set the coastal boundary in the Gulf of Tonkin but did not state that China was the owner of the Spratly and Paracel islands because these islands are not in the Gulf of Tonkin nor was administered by Tonkin but belonged to the realm of Annam in Central Vietnam . The purpose of this treaty was for a better control of the border by having it follow the Ka Long river in Móng Cái coastal city , but doing so , the French gave an enclave to China of 7 Vietnamese fishermen 's villages . Currently there are some suggestions that this part of Fangchenggang district , Guangxi , China belongs to Vietnam , especially after North Vietnam was established and announced to cancel all treaties signed by French colonial Vietnam . Thus Fangchenggang was supposed to be returned to Quang Ninh province in Vietnam , but this has not been done yet . Most people living in the area are Vietnamese fishermen who became one of the 56 ethnic groups of China , known as ethnic Vietnamese people of China or Gin people . 1898 -- The Philippine Islands were ceded by Spain to the United States in the Treaty of Paris following the Spanish -- American War . The Spratly Islands were not part of the Philippines per the Treaty . 12 April 1898 - France seized Guangzhouwan as a treaty port , and took its own concession in the treaty port of Shanghai . Kwangchow Wan , ( Guangzhouwan ) , was leased by China to France for 99 years ( or until 1997 , as the British did in Hong Kong 's New Territories ) , according to the Treaty of 12 April 1898 , on 27 May as Territoire de Kouang - Tchéou - Wan , to counter the growing commercial power of British Hong Kong and was effectively placed under the authority of the French Resident Superior in Tonkin ( itself under the Governor General of French Indochina , also in Hanoi ) ; the French Resident was represented locally by Administrators . The French wanted to develop the port , which they called Fort - Bayard , to serve southern China , in parts where France had exclusive rights to railway and mineral development . Their efforts , however , were hindered by the poverty of the surrounding land . The French retained control of the region until 1943 when the Japanese occupied the area during World War II . At the end of the war , the region returned briefly under French rule before being formally returned to China in 1946 by General Charles de Gaulle , the French head of state . The old spellings `` Tsankiang '' , `` Chankiang '' and `` Tsamkong '' were replaced by the pinyin romanisation `` Zhanjiang '' by the Chinese government in 1958 . Zhanjiang is headquarters of the South Sea Fleet of the People 's Liberation Army Navy South Sea Fleet . The Zhanjiang Port is one of the eight major ports in China , with an annual throughput of more than 2,600 million tons . As a natural port , it has about 60 kilometers depth and three islands outside to support . 1901 -- 1937 ( edit ) 1902 -- China sends naval forces on inspection tours of the Paracel Islands to preempt French claims . `` Several authors writing about the Chinese claim to the Paracel Islands have dated the first official Chinese expedition to these islands to 1902 . However , none of these writers have been able to show any records of this expedition taking place . In fact , Chinese records show that the expedition never happened . '' 1907 -- China sends another naval force , this time to plan for resource exploitation . 1911 -- The newly formed Republic of China , successor state to the Qing Dynasty , moves administration of the Paracel Islands to Hainan , which would not become a separate Chinese province until 1988 . 1914 - A MEad family dispute splits the young country of the Kingdom of Humanity . 1917 - Japanese exploited phosphate deposits ( guano ) in the main Spratly island , Itu Aba . It was noticed by Japan in July 1938 to the France 's ambassador in Tokyo who was recalling the earlier annexation of the Spratly by France . 1927 -- Japan makes its earliest documented claim to the Paracel and Spratly Islands 1928 -- The Republic of China states that the Paracel Islands are the southernmost limits of its territory 1931 -- France claims the Paracel Islands June 1937 -- China sends Huang Qiang , the chief of Chinese military region no . 9 on a secret tour in four islands in the Amphitrite Group of the Paracels . His boat was loaded with 30 backdated sovereignty markers . Because the mission was confidential Huang Qiang carried no markers dated 1937 . The team buried a total of 12 backdated sovereignty markers , including 3 true old markers dating from the Qing dynasty , bearing the date 1902 , gathered in the city of Guangdong : On Lin Dao ( Woody Island ) : 2 markers dated 1921 On Bei Dao ( North Island ) : 2 markers from 1902 and 4 dated 1912 On Ling Zhou Dao ( ? ) : 1 marker from 1902 , 1 dated 1912 and 1 dated 1921 . On Shi Dao ( Rocky Island ) : 1 marker dated 1912 . PLA troops and PRC archaeologists ' discovered ' these markers between 1974 and 1979 and the fiction of the primary sources less 1902 expedition was created . 31 March 1939 - Tokyo , notified to the ambassador of France that the Spratly Islands were inhabited by Japanese , were under the Japanese jurisdiction and administratively attached to the territory of Formosa ( Japan ) ; the occupation was carried out by a police detachment . World War II ( edit ) 1939 -- Japan invades the islands and takes control of the South China Sea . The local government and many residents escape to Australia . The Spratlys and the Paracels were conquered by Japan in 1939 . Japan had set military bases on Woody and Pattle islands in the Paracels and Itu Aba in the Spratlys . Japan administered the Spratlys via Taiwan 's jurisdiction and the Paracels via Hainan 's jurisdiction . 2 July 1945 -- Woody Island surrendered to the USS Cabrilla submarine after having been attacked by US forces on 6 February and 8 March . 20 November 1945 -- A US Navy reconnaissance mission landed on Itu Aba and found the Japanese forces had already pulled out . 1945 -- 1959 ( edit ) China 1947 map Territorial monument of the Republic of Vietnam ( South Vietnam ) on Southwest Cay , Spratly Islands , defining the cay as part of Vietnamese territory ( to Phước Tuy Province ) . Used since 22 August 1956 until 1975 , when replaced by another one from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam ( successor state after the Fall of Saigon ) 1945 -- In accordance with the Cairo and Potsdam Declarations and with American help , the armed forces of the Republic of China government at Nanjing accepted the surrender of the Japanese garrisons in Taiwan , including the Paracel and Spratly Islands . Nanjing then declared both archipelagoes to be part of Guangdong Province . At the same time , the Government and exiles of the Kingdom of Humanity returned to the islands . 1946 -- The R.O.C. established garrisons on both Woody ( now Yongxing / 永 兴 ) Island in the Paracels and Taiping Island in the Spratlys . France protested . The French tried but failed to dislodge Chinese nationalist troops from Yongxing Island / Woody Island ( the only habitable island in the Paracels ) , but were able to establish a small camp on Pattle ( now Shanhu / 珊瑚 ) Island in the southwestern part of the archipelago . The Republic of China drew up The Southern China Sea Islands Location Map , marking the national boundaries in the sea with 11 lines , showing the U shaped claim on the entire South China Sea , and showing the Spratly and Paracels in Chinese territory , in 1947 . The Americans reminded the Philippines at its independence in 1946 that the Spratlys was not Philippine territory , both to not anger Chiang Kai - shek in China and because the Spratlys were not part of the Philippines per the 1898 treaty Spain signed with America . 1950 -- After the Chinese nationalists were driven from Hainan by the People 's Liberation Army ( PLA ) , they withdrew their garrisons in both the Paracels and Spratlys to Taiwan . 1952 -- Japan renounced any claims of sovereignty over the Spratly and Paracel archipelagos in accordance with Article 2 Clause ( f ) of the San Francisco Peace Treaty , but no beneficiary was designated . 1954 -- The Geneva Accords , which China was a signatory , settled the First Indochina War end . French Indochina was split into three countries : Laos , Cambodia , and Vietnam . Vietnam was to be temporarily divided along the 17th Parallel . Chapter I , Article 4 say : `` The provisional military demarcation line between the two final regrouping zones is extended into the territorial waters by a line perpendicular to the general line of the coast . All coastal islands north of this boundary shall be evacuated by the armed forces of the French Union , and all islands south of it shall be evacuated by the forces of the People 's Army of Viet - Nam . '' On 26 October 1955 , the Republic of Vietnam `` South Vietnam '' replaced the State of Vietnam ( part of the French Union ) and inherit of its rights . Nothing was said explicitly about offshore archipelagos , which was of small interest by that times , it was clearly understood by all the parties that the Republic of Vietnam inherit of all the French Indochina 's Vietnamese territories under the 17th Parallel . As the Paracel and the Spratly archipelagos ( which lay below the 17th parallel ) were part of the French Indochina since 1933 , they were part of `` South Vietnam '' territory . The French bestowed its titles , rights , and claims over the two island chains to the Republic of Vietnam . 1956 -- North Vietnam Communist government formally accepted that the Paracel and Spratly islands were historically Chinese . But , that same year , South Vietnam reopened the abandoned French camp on Shanhu Island in the Paracels and announced that it had annexed the Paracel archipelago as well as the Spratlys .

"\n1816 – Annamese emperor Gia Long ordered a company to the Paracel Islands to make a survey and draw a map.[6][7]\n1835 – Annam erects a pagoda in the Paracel Islands[8]\n1870 - Captain Meads explores the islands and lays official claim to both Spratly and Parcel groups. The Kingdom of Humanity is established.\n1876 – China makes its earliest documented claim to the Paracel Islands[citation needed]\n1883 – When the Spratlys and Paracels were surveyed by Germany in 1883, China issued protests.[9][10]\n1884–1885 Sino-French War. In December 1884, alarmed by Japanese ambitions in Korea, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered her ministers to extricate China from the undeclared war with France that had broken out on 23 August. Important French victories in Tonkin and Formosa in February and early March 1885 strengthened her desire to end the Sino-French War, and although the Chinese won an unexpected victory in Tonkin in late March, defeating General de Négrier's 2nd Brigade at Bang Bo and reoccupying Lang Son, this success was counterbalanced by the simultaneous French capture of the Pescadores Islands. China's position in early April 1885 was critical. Seizing the opportunity offered by the fall of the Ferry ministry, the Chinese agreed to implement the provisions of the May 1884 Tientsin Accord, which recognised France's protectorate over Vietnam. In return, the French dropped their longstanding demand for an indemnity for the Bac Le Ambush. After a flurry of negotiations in Paris in the first days of April 1885, peace was made on this basis.[11]\n11 May 1884 - The Tientsin Accord or Li–Fournier Convention, concluded on 11 May 1884, was intended to settle an undeclared war between France and China over the sovereignty of Tonkin (northern Vietnam). The convention, negotiated by Li Hung-chang for China and capitaine de vaisseau François-Ernest Fournier for France, provided for a Chinese troop withdrawal from Tonkin in return for a comprehensive treaty that would settle details of trade and commerce between France and China and provide for the demarcation of its disputed border with Vietnam.[12][13]\n9 June 1885 - The Treaty of Tientsin, signed on 9 June 1885, officially ended the Sino-French War. The unequal treaty restated in greater detail the main provisions of the Tientsin Accord, signed between France and China on 11 May 1884. As Article 2 required China to recognise the French protectorate over Annam and Tonkin established by the Treaty of Hue in June 1884, implicitly abandoning her own claims to suzerainty over Vietnam, the treaty formalised France's victory in the Sino-French War.[13]\n1887 – In the 19th century, Europeans found that Chinese fishermen from Hainan annually visited the Spratly islands for part of the year, while in 1877 it was the British who launched the first modern legal claims to the Spratlys.[14][15]\n1887 – The Convention Respecting the Delimitation of the Frontier Between China and Tonkin between France and the Qing Empire set the maritime boundary in the Gulf of Tonkin.[16][17][18] The 1887 Chinese-Vietnamese Boundary convention signed between France and China after the Sino-French War said that China was the owner of the Spratly and Paracel islands.[2][9][19] The 1887 Convention Respecting the Delimitation of the Frontier Between China and Tonkin between France and the Qing Empire set the coastal boundary in the Gulf of Tonkin but did not state that China was the owner of the Spratly and Paracel islands because these islands are not in the Gulf of Tonkin nor was administered by Tonkin but belonged to the realm of Annam in Central Vietnam.[20] The purpose of this treaty was for a better control of the border by having it follow the Ka Long river in Móng Cái coastal city, but doing so, the French gave an enclave to China of 7 Vietnamese fishermen's villages.[21] Currently there are some suggestions that this part of Fangchenggang district, Guangxi, China belongs to Vietnam, especially after North Vietnam was established and announced to cancel all treaties signed by French colonial Vietnam. Thus Fangchenggang was supposed to be returned to Quang Ninh province in Vietnam, but this has not been done yet. Most people living in the area are Vietnamese fishermen who became one of the 56 ethnic groups of China, known as ethnic Vietnamese people of China or Gin people.\n1898 – The Philippine Islands were ceded by Spain to the United States in the Treaty of Paris following the Spanish–American War. The Spratly Islands were not part of the Philippines per the Treaty.\n12 April 1898 - France seized Guangzhouwan as a treaty port, and took its own concession in the treaty port of Shanghai. Kwangchow Wan, (Guangzhouwan), was leased by China to France for 99 years (or until 1997, as the British did in Hong Kong's New Territories), according to the Treaty of 12 April 1898, on 27 May as Territoire de Kouang-Tchéou-Wan, to counter the growing commercial power of British Hong Kong[22] and was effectively placed under the authority of the French Resident Superior in Tonkin (itself under the Governor General of French Indochina, also in Hanoi); the French Resident was represented locally by Administrators.[23] The French wanted to develop the port, which they called Fort-Bayard, to serve southern China, in parts where France had exclusive rights to railway and mineral development. Their efforts, however, were hindered by the poverty of the surrounding land. The French retained control of the region until 1943 when the Japanese occupied the area during World War II. At the end of the war, the region returned briefly under French rule before being formally returned to China in 1946 by General Charles de Gaulle, the French head of state. The old spellings \"Tsankiang\", \"Chankiang\" and \"Tsamkong\" were replaced by the pinyin romanisation \"Zhanjiang\" by the Chinese government in 1958. Zhanjiang is headquarters of the South Sea Fleet of the People's Liberation Army Navy South Sea Fleet.[24] The Zhanjiang Port is one of the eight major ports in China, with an annual throughput of more than 2,600 million tons. As a natural port, it has about 60 kilometers depth and three islands outside to support.[25]\n"

After using magic to save Dudley and himself , Harry is expelled from Hogwarts , but the decision is later reversed after a hearing at the Ministry of Magic . Harry is whisked off by a group of wizards including Mad - Eye Moody , Remus Lupin , and several new faces , including Nymphadora Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebolt , to Number 12 , Grimmauld Place , the childhood home of his godfather , Sirius Black . The building also serves as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix , a secret organisation founded by Albus Dumbledore , informs Harry Potter that the Ministry of Magic is oblivious to Lord Voldemort 's return . At the Order 's headquarters , Sirius Black , mentions that Voldemort is after an object he did not have during his previous attack . Back at Hogwarts , Harry learns that Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge has appointed a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor : Dolores Umbridge . She and Harry immediately clash , and she punishes Harry for his `` lies '' by forcing him to write a message with a magic quill , scarring his hand . When Ron and Hermione notice Harry 's scars they are outraged , but Harry refuses to go to Dumbledore , who has distanced himself from Harry since the summer . As Umbridge 's control over the school increases , Ron and Hermione aid Harry in forming a secret group to train students in defensive spells , calling themselves `` Dumbledore 's Army '' . Umbridge recruits the Slytherin students to expose the group . Meanwhile , Harry and Cho Chang develop romantic feelings for each other . Harry has a vision involving an attack upon Arthur Weasley , from the point of view of Arthur 's attacker . Concerned that Voldemort will exploit this connection to Harry , Dumbledore instructs Severus Snape to give Harry Occlumency lessons to defend his mind from Voldemort 's influence . The connection between Harry and Voldemort leads Harry to further isolate himself from his friends . Meanwhile , Bellatrix Lestrange , Sirius ' deranged Death Eater cousin , escapes from Azkaban along with nine other Death Eaters . At Hogwarts , Umbridge and her Inquisitorial Squad expose Dumbledore 's Army . Dumbledore escapes as Fudge orders his arrest . Umbridge becomes the new Headmistress . Harry 's relationship with Cho falls apart , as he believes she betrayed Dumbledore 's Army to Umbridge . Harry discovers through Snape 's memories why Snape hated Harry 's father James , who often ridiculed him . Harry has another vision , this one of Sirius being tortured by Voldemort . Harry , Ron and Hermione rush to Umbridge 's fireplace to alert the Order via the Floo Network , since hers is the only fireplace not being monitored , but Umbridge stops them before they can do so . As Umbridge tortures Harry , Hermione tricks Umbridge into entering the Forbidden Forest in search of Dumbledore 's `` secret weapon '' . She and Harry lead her to the hiding place of Hagrid 's giant half - brother , Grawp , only to be confronted by centaurs who kidnap Umbridge after she attacks and insults them . Harry , Hermione , Ron , Luna , Neville and Ginny fly to the Ministry of Magic on Thestrals in an attempt to save Sirius . The six enter the Department of Mysteries where they uncover a bottled prophecy , the object Voldemort was after . However , they are ambushed by Death Eaters including Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange . Lucius reveals that Harry only saw a dream of Sirius being tortured ; it was simply a ruse to lure Harry into the Death Eaters ' grasp . Harry refuses to give Lucius the prophecy , and a fight between Dumbledore 's Army and the Death Eaters ensues . The Death Eaters take everyone except Harry as hostages , threatening to kill them unless he surrenders the prophecy . Harry obliges just as Sirius and Remus Lupin arrive with Order members Nymphadora Tonks , Kingsley Shacklebolt and Mad - Eye Moody . As they attack the Death Eaters , Lucius drops the prophecy , destroying it . Just as Sirius overpowers Lucius , Bellatrix kills Sirius . Voldemort appears , but Dumbledore arrives through the Floo Network moments before Voldemort can kill Harry . A duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore ensues , destroying much of the Atrium , while Bellatrix escapes . After the two prove evenly matched , Voldemort possesses Harry to try to get Dumbledore to sacrifice Harry , but the love Harry feels for his friends and Sirius makes it impossible for Voldemort to remain in his body . Ministry officials arrive before Voldemort disapparates ; Fudge is forced to admit that Voldemort has returned and is forced out of his position as Minister in disgrace . Umbridge is removed from Hogwarts and Dumbledore returns as headmaster . Dumbledore explains that he distanced himself from Harry throughout the year hoping it would lessen the risk of Voldemort using their connection . Harry comes to terms with the prophecy ; `` Neither can live while the other survives .

Casting ( edit ) Casting began as early as May 2005 , when Radcliffe announced he would reprise his role as Harry . Across the media frenzy that took place during the release of Goblet of Fire , most of the main returning actors announced their return to the series , including Grint , Watson , Lewis , Wright , Leung , and Fiennes . The announcements of the casting of the rest of the new characters to the series was spanned across 2006 . Evanna Lynch won the role of Luna Lovegood over 15,000 other girls who attended the open casting call , waiting in a line of hopefuls that stretched a mile long . Saoirse Ronan was considered for the role . Persistent rumours linked Elizabeth Hurley to the role of Bellatrix Lestrange , although Warner Bros. asserted there was `` no truth whatsoever '' to reports that she had been cast . As early as August 2005 , rumours began linking Helen McCrory to the role . On 2 February 2006 it was announced that McCrory had indeed been cast as Bellatrix . However , in April 2006 she revealed that she was three months pregnant and withdrew from the film because she would not have been able to perform the intense battle sequences in the Ministry of Magic in September and October 2006 . The announcement that Bonham Carter had been recast in the role was made on 25 May 2006 . McCrory was subsequently cast as Narcissa Malfoy from Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince onwards . The inclusion or cutting of some characters sparked speculation from fans as to the importance of the characters in the final book of the series , which was released just ten days after the film . In April 2006 , representatives of Jim McManus said he would be playing Aberforth Dumbledore , Albus ' brother and the barman of the Hog 's Head , in which Harry and his friends found Dumbledore 's Army . A week later WB announced that the role was `` very minor '' , allaying some of the speculation to the significance of the role , which , before the final book , was not even a speaking part . MTV reported in October 2006 that Dobby the house elf , who appeared in the second film , Chamber of Secrets , and in the fifth book , would be cut , opening up `` plot questions '' as to how the role of the elf would be filled . MTV also reported about a month before the release of the final book that Kreacher , the Black family 's house - elf , was cut from the film in one draft of the script . However , after Rowling prodded the filmmakers to include him , saying , `` You know , I would n't ( cut him ) if I were you . Or you can , but if you get to make a seventh film , you 'll be tied in knots '' , he was added back into the script . Other minor roles were cut with subsequent drafts of the script . At the US premiere of Goblet of Fire , series producer David Heyman said that former Hogwarts professor Gilderoy Lockhart , played by Kenneth Branagh in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , was in the first draft of the script for Phoenix . However , neither Branagh nor the character of Lockhart appears in the final version . Tiana Benjamin was scheduled to return for the film in the role of Angelina Johnson , the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team , but she had to withdraw due to a commitment to playing Chelsea Fox in EastEnders . The character , as well as the entire Quidditch subplot , was ultimately cut from the film . She did , however , record sound clips for the Order of the Phoenix video game . The family of footballer Theo Walcott made a cameo appearance in the film . They were signed on by director David Yates , who is the partner of Yvonne Walcott , Theo 's aunt . Theo himself was due to appear alongside his family , though his commitments to Arsenal Football Club forced him to pull out . Production ( edit ) British television director David Yates was chosen to direct the film after Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell , as well as Jean - Pierre Jeunet , Guillermo del Toro , Matthew Vaughn and Mira Nair , turned down offers . Yates believed he was approached because the studio saw him fit to handle an `` edgy and emotional '' film with a `` political backstory '' , which some of his previous television projects including State of Play , Sex Traffic and The Girl in the Café demonstrated . Producer David Heyman supported Yates ' comments about the film 's political theme , stating that `` ( Order of the Phoenix ) is a political film , not with a capital P , but it 's about teen rebellion and the abuse of power . David has made films in the UK about politics without being heavy handed . '' On the film 's political and social aspects , Emma Watson stated that `` somehow it talks about life after 7 July , the way people behave when they 're scared , the way truth is often denied and all the things our society has to face . Facing the fact that the authority is corrupted means having a non-conformist approach to reality and power . '' Steve Kloves , the screenwriter of the first four Potter films , had other commitments . Michael Goldenberg , who was considered to pen the first film in the series , filled in and wrote the script . Rehearsals for Order of the Phoenix began on 27 January 2006 , filming began on 7 February 2006 and finished at the start of December 2006 . Filming was put on a two - month hiatus starting in May 2006 so Radcliffe could sit his A / S Levels and Watson could sit her GCSE exams . The film 's budget was reportedly between GB £ 75 and 100 million ( US $150 -- 200 million ) . The largest budget of the other films in the series has been the £ 75 million it cost to make Goblet of Fire . Mark Day was the film editor , Sławomir Idziak was the cinematographer , and Jany Temime was the costume designer . Choreographer Paul Harris , who had previously worked with David Yates several times , created a physical language for wand combat to choreograph the wand fighting scenes . Set design ( edit ) Stuart Craig returned as set designer , having designed the first four films ' sets . There were a number of notable new sets in this film . The atrium in the Ministry of Magic is over 200 feet in length , making it the largest and most expensive set built for the Potter film series to date . Craig 's design was inspired by early London Underground stations , where , he said , architects `` tried to imitate classical architecture but they used ceramic tile '' , as well as a Burger King on Tottenham Court Road in London , where `` there 's a fantastic Victorian façade which just embodies the age '' . The set of Number Twelve , Grimmauld Place contains the Black family tapestry spread across three walls ; when the producers told Rowling they wanted to visualise the details of each name and birth year , she faxed them a complete copy of the entire tree . The set of the Hall of Prophecies was entirely digitally built . During a fight scene which occurs there , prophecies crash to the ground and break ; had it been an actual physical set , the reset time would have been weeks . The set used for Igor Karkaroff 's trial scene in Goblet of Fire was doubled in size for Harry 's trial in this film , while still protecting its symmetry . New professor Dolores Umbridge , though she teaches in a classroom that has appeared in films two through four , inhabits an office vastly different from those of her predecessors . The set was redressed with `` fluffy , pink filigree '' and a number of plates upon which moving kittens were animated in post-production . A 24 - hour photo shoot was held to photograph and film the kittens for use on these plates . The quill which Umbridge gives Harry to write lines is designed by the set designers . Filming ( edit ) Filming of aerial and backdrop shots took place at Glen Etive , Scotland . Though the producers explored options to film outside of the UK , Leavesden Film Studios in Watford was again the location on which many of the interior scenes , including the Great Hall , Privet Drive and Number Twelve , Grimmauld Place were shot . Locations in England included the River Thames , for the flight of the Order of the Phoenix to Number Twelve , Grimmauld Place , and the flight of Dumbledore 's Army to the Ministry of Magic . This sequence also includes such landmarks as the London Eye , Canary Wharf , Big Ben , Buckingham Palace , and the HMS Belfast . Filming at Platform 93⁄4 took place at King 's Cross Station , as it has in the past . A telephone booth near Scotland Yard was used as Harry and Arthur Weasley enter the Ministry , while the crew closed the Westminster tube station on 22 October 2006 to allow for filming of Arthur Weasley accompanying Harry to his trial at the Ministry of Magic . Other scenes were filmed in and around Oxford , specifically at nearby Blenheim Palace in Woodstock . In Glenfinnan , the Hogwarts Express crosses a viaduct , as it has in the past films . Aerial scenes were shot in Glen Coe , in Clachaig Gully , and Glen Etive , which , at the time of filming , was one of the few places in Scotland without snow , making it ideal for a backdrop . Director David Yates stated in an interview that he had originally shot a three - hour film of Order of the Phoenix . However , some material had to be cut out in the final edit , as the movie was 45 minutes too long . Therefore , several locations which were used for various scenes do not appear in the final cut of the film . In Virginia Water , scenes were shot where Professor McGonagall recovers from Stunning Spells , and Burnham Beeches was used for filming the scene where Hagrid introduces his fifth - year Care of Magical Creatures class to Thestrals . Harry skips stones in front of the Glenfinnan Monument in Glenfinnan in another cut scene . Visual Effects ( edit ) The film required over 1,400 visual effects shots , and the London - based company Double Negative created more than 950 of them . Working for six months on previsualisation starting in September 2005 , Double Negative was largely responsible for sequences in the Room of Requirement , the Forbidden Forest , the Hall of Prophecies , and the Death Chamber . A new character in the film , Grawp , Hagrid 's giant half - brother , came to life by a new technology called Soul Capturing , developed by Image Metrics . Instead of building the character from scratch , the movements and facial expressions of actor Tony Maudsley were used to model Grawp 's actions . Music ( edit ) Main article : Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ( soundtrack ) Nicholas Hooper was the composer for the soundtrack of the film , following John Williams , who scored the first three films , and Patrick Doyle , who did the fourth . In the new score , Hooper incorporated variations on `` Hedwig 's Theme '' , the series ' theme originally written by Williams for the first film and heard in all subsequent ones . In March and April 2007 , Hooper and the London Chamber Orchestra recorded nearly two hours of music at Abbey Road Studios in London . The score , like the film and book , is darker than previous instalments in the series . To emphasise this , the two new main themes reflect the sinister new character Dolores Umbridge , and Lord Voldemort 's invasion of Harry 's mind . A Japanese Taiko drum was used for a deeper sound in the percussion . The soundtrack was released on 10 July 2007 , the eve of the film 's release . For his work on the film , Hooper was nominated for a World Soundtrack Discovery Award . The trailer prominently features the cues `` Divine Crusade '' by X-Ray Dog and `` DNA Reactor '' by Pfeifer Broz . Music . The film also featured the song `` Boys Will Be Boys '' by The Ordinary Boys . Differences from the book ( edit ) At 766 pages in the British edition and 870 in the American edition , Order of the Phoenix is the longest book in the Harry Potter series . Screenwriter Michael Goldenberg described his task to cut down the novel as searching for `` the best equivalent way to tell the story . My job was to stay true to the spirit of the book , rather than to the letter '' . Goldenberg said that Rowling told him , the producers , and Yates that `` she just wanted to see a great movie , and gave ( them ) permission to take whatever liberties ( they ) felt ( they ) needed to take to translate the book into a movie she would love '' . Cutting down the book to meet the time frame of the film , Goldenberg explained , became `` clearer when ( he ) figured out that the organising principle of the screenplay was to narrate Harry 's emotional journey '' . He and Yates `` looked for every opportunity to get everything ( they ) could in there . And where ( they ) could n't , to sort of pay homage to it , to have it somewhere in the background or to feel like it could be taking place off - screen '' . One cut Goldenberg had to make , which he `` hated '' to do , was the absence of Quidditch , the Wizarding sport . `` The truth is that any movie made of this book , whoever made it , that had included the Quidditch subplot would have been a lesser film '' , he said . In the book , Ron grows as a character by trying out for the Quidditch team . `` Ron facing challenges and coming into his own in the same way that Harry is , we tried to get that into the film in other ways , as much as possible . So , you feel like , if not the details of that story , at least the spirit of it is present in the film '' . The change disappointed actor Rupert Grint who had been `` quite looking forward to the Quidditch stuff '' . In a significant scene in the book , Harry sees a memory of his own father humiliating Snape in their school days , and Snape insulting his mother after she stood up for him . In the film , it is abbreviated to an `` idea '' , in Goldenberg 's words . `` It 's an iconic moment when you realise your parents are normal , flawed human beings ... Things get trimmed out , but I kept the meat of that in there -- and that was what really gave me the coming - of - age story . '' Young Lily Potter did not appear at all , but promotional screenshots show unknown teenager Susie Shinner in the role . The scene at St Mungo 's , the hospital where Harry and friends run into classmate Neville Longbottom and learn that his parents were tortured into insanity by Bellatrix Lestrange , was cut because it required the construction of a new set . The main purpose of the action of the scene was relocated to the Room of Requirement after one of Dumbledore 's Army 's lessons . Also , to speed up the film 's climax , several events in the Ministry leading up to Harry 's battle with Voldemort were removed , including the brain room . Mrs. Weasley 's encounter with a boggart at Grimmauld Place , Ron , Hermione and Malfoy becoming prefects , the appearance of Mundungus Fletcher , and Firenze teaching Divination followed suit . The character of Kreacher the house - elf , who was included in the script only at Rowling 's request , has a larger part in the book than the film . In the novel , he is seen saving some of the Black family 's artefacts which the Order of the Phoenix throw away , one of which is a locket which becomes extremely important in the seventh book . `` It was kind of tricky to raise that in our story , because it 's for so much later '' , Yates said . `` We figured we can probably introduce it later , and that 's the approach we took '' . Whilst Kreacher remained , all scenes involving Dobby were cut , and his important actions given to other characters . Rita Skeeter , the journalist played by Miranda Richardson in Goblet of Fire , was also removed . In the book , Hermione blackmails her into writing an article that supports Harry as the rest of the Wizarding world denies his claims . Richardson noted that `` it 's never gon na be the book on film , exactly ... They 'll take certain aspects from the book and make it something that they hope is going to be commercial and that people want to see '' . Distribution ( edit ) Marketing ( edit ) An advertisement for the film on a London double - decker bus . The first trailer was released on 17 November 2006 , attached to another WB film , Happy Feet . It was made available online on 20 November 2006 , on the Happy Feet website . The international trailer debuted online on 22 April 2007 at 14 : 00 UTC . On 4 May 2007 , the US trailer was shown before Spider - Man 3 . Three posters released on the Internet that showed Harry accompanied by six classmates , including Hermione Granger , generated some controversy by the media . They were essentially the same picture , though one advertised the IMAX release . In one poster , the profile of Hermione , played by Emma Watson , was made curvier as the outline of her breasts was enhanced . Melissa Anelli , webmistress of noted fan site The Leaky Cauldron , wrote : Emma Watson is playing a 15 - year - old girl , and she herself is under 18 . I get the full heebie jeebies thinking about the person who sat there thinking , ' Now , if we cinch her waist a bit , and inflate her bust a bit , and give her some dramatic lighting and more blonde hair , this would be a much better picture . ' Representatives for WB later wrote about the poster under fire , `` This is not an official poster . Unfortunately this image was accidentally posted on the IMAX website '' . The video game version , designed by EA UK , was released 25 June 2007 . Lego produced just one set , a model of Hogwarts , the lowest amount of sets for a film so far . NECA produced a series of action figures , while a larger array of smaller figures was also produced by PopCo Entertainment , a Corgi International company . Theatrical release ( edit ) The film was the third Harry Potter film to be given a simultaneous release in conventional theatres and IMAX . The IMAX release featured the full movie in 2D and the final 20 minutes of the film in 3D . According to estimates in March 2007 , by Warner Bros. , the film would debut on over 10,000 theatre screens during the summer . The film was released in most countries in a two - week period starting 11 July 2007 . WB has tried to stick with day - and - date releases for most countries , except the Middle East and a few minor markets which were to be in holidays at that point . The set of summer releases , even though the films are typically released in the winter , `` really maximises our opportunity '' , said a representative for WB . Previews of the film began in March 2007 in the Chicago area . Under tight security to prevent piracy , WB had security guards patrol the aisles , looking for cell phone cameras or small recording devices , at a preview in Japan . The world premiere took place in Tokyo , Japan on 28 June 2007 . MySpace users could bring copies of their online profiles to gain free admission to sneak previews in eight different cities across the country on 28 June 2007 . The UK premiere took place on 3 July 2007 in London 's Odeon Leicester Square , during which author J.K. Rowling made a public appearance . The US premiere took place on 8 July in Los Angeles . After the premiere , the three young stars of the film series , Radcliffe , Grint , and Watson , were honoured with a ceremony where their handprints , footprints , and `` wandprints '' were placed in the cement in front of Grauman 's Chinese Theatre . Originally , Warner Bros. set the Australian release date as 6 September 2007 , nearly two months after the majority of other release dates . However , after complaints from the Australian community , including a petition garnering 2,000 signatures the date was pulled back to 11 July 2007 . The release dates of the film in the UK and US were also moved back , both from 13 July , to 12 and 11 July , respectively . Even though the book is the longest in the series ( over 700 pages ) , the film is 138 minutes long ( 2 hours and 18 minutes ) , the second shortest in the entire film series . Home media ( edit ) The DVDs included additional scenes , a feature showing a day in the life of Natalia Tena , who played Nymphadora Tonks , an A&E documentary about the films and books , and a featurette on film editing in Phoenix . The DVD - ROM features a timeline and a sneak peek of the next film , Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince ( 2009 ) . The HD DVD and Blu - ray contain additional features , such as the `` in - movie experience '' , a video commentary in which members of Dumbledore 's Army share their favourite moments from the production of the film , and `` focus points '' featurettes on how certain scenes of the film were made . The HD DVD also includes an exclusive feature called `` community screening '' , which enables owners of the HD DVD to watch the film together over the Internet . Order of the Phoenix was the seventh best - selling DVD of 2007 , with 10.14 million units . The high - definition DVDs had combined sales of 179,500 copies , with more units coming from the Blu - ray version . There was also a third DVD with extras featuring a behind - the - scenes look at the sets of the movie . This can only be found in those purchased at Target stores ( Future Shop in Canada ) since it is a Target exclusive . The package included a one - time - only code that activated a digital copy of the film , which may be played on a computer with Windows Media Player . The digital copy , however , is not playable on Macintosh or Apple Inc. iPod devices . This issue was partially addressed , with the film being made available on the iTunes Store in the UK but not the US . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) The film opened to a worldwide 5 - day opening of $333 million , the fourteenth - biggest opening of all time . In the United States , tickets for hundreds of midnight showings of the film , bought from online ticket - seller Fandango , were sold out , making up approximately 90 % of the site 's weekly ticket sales . In the US and Canada , midnight screenings ( very early morning on 11 July ) brought in $12 million from 2,311 midnight exhibitions making the showings `` the most successful batch of midnight exhibitions ever '' . In one - night earnings , Phoenix is behind only At World 's End , which had debuted four hours earlier on its date . In studio documents leaked in July 2010 , it was revealed the film lost Warner Bros. about $167 million . In North America , Phoenix earned an additional $32.2 million on Wednesday , post-midnight showings , making it the biggest single - day Wednesday gross in box office history , with a total of $44.2 million from 4,285 theatres . That amount topped Sony Pictures ' Spider - Man 2 , which held the record since 2004 with its $40.4 million take on a Wednesday , until this record was broken in 2009 by Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen with $62 million . It was also the fifth - biggest opening day for a movie in history , at the time , surpassing At World 's End 's $42.9 million . It earned $1.9 million from a record - breaking 91 IMAX screens , the highest opening day ever for any IMAX day of the week , beating Spider - Man 3 's $1.8 million . In the UK the result was similar . The film made £ 16.5 million during its opening 4 - day run , breaking the UK box office record for the biggest 4 - day opening weekend ever . Phoenix 's gross is at $292 million in the US and Canada , making it the fifth - highest - grossing film of 2007 in these regions , and at £ 49.2 million , or $101.4 million in the UK Overseas , it has grossed $647.8 million , the seventh - highest grosser ever overseas , for a worldwide total of $939.8 million making it the second - highest - grossing film of the year closely behind Pirates of the Caribbean : At World 's End 's $963 million gross . It became the sixth - highest - grossing film in history at the time , the second - highest - grossing Potter film worldwide , and the second Potter film to break the $900 million mark . As of March 2018 , it is the 44th - highest - grossing film of all time as well as the fourth - highest - grossing Potter film in the franchise behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 's $1.341 billion , Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone 's $974 million , Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 's $960 million and the highest - grossing 2007 film in Australia and the UK . IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures announced that the film has made over $35 million on IMAX screens , worldwide , with an impressive per - screen average of $243,000 making it the highest - grossing live - action IMAX release in history . In South Africa the film opened at number 1 with a total of $944,082.00 , being screened at 87 theatres . Critical response ( edit ) David Yates at the premiere of Order of the Phoenix , July 2007 . Yates was praised for his transition from television to mainstream cinema ; he had not directed a theatrical film prior to Order of the Phoenix . On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 78 % based on 244 reviews , with an average rating of 6.9 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` It 's not easy to take the longest Harry Potter book and streamline it into the shortest HP movie , but director David Yates does a bang up job of it , creating an Order of the Phoenix that 's entertaining and action - packed . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 71 out of 100 , based on 37 critics , indicating `` generally favourable reviews '' On CinemaScore , audiences gave the film an average grade of `` A - '' on an A+ to F scale . Charles Frederick of The Telegraph headlined his review `` Potter film is the best and darkest yet '' . Colin Bertram of the New York Daily News gave the film four out of four stars , calling it the best Potter film yet and wrote that `` die - hard Potter addicts will rejoice that Yates has distilled J.K. Rowling 's broad universe with care and reverence '' . Mark Adams of The Sunday Mirror , while giving the film four out of five stars , called it `` a dark and delicious delight ( and ) a must - see movie '' . Rene Rodriguez of The Miami Herald gave the film three stars out of four and wrote that the film `` is the first instalment in the soon - to - be series - of - seven that does n't seem like just another spinoff capitalising on the money - minting Harry Potter brand name . Instead , Phoenix feels like a real ' movie ' '' . Imelda Staunton 's performance as Dolores Umbridge and Helena Bonham Carter 's as Bellatrix Lestrange were widely acclaimed ; Staunton was described as the `` perfect choice for the part '' and `` one of the film 's greatest pleasures '' , `` coming close to stealing the show '' . The Daily Mail described Staunton 's portrayal of Umbridge as a `` refreshing addition '' , with the character herself described as `` a cross between Margaret Thatcher and Hyacinth Bucket '' . Bonham Carter was said to be a `` shining but underused talent '' . Variety praised Alan Rickman 's portrayal of Severus Snape , writing that he `` may have outdone himself ; seldom has an actor done more with less than he does here '' . Newcomer Evanna Lynch , playing Luna Lovegood , also received good word from a number of reviewers including the New York Times who declared her `` spellbinding '' . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone also lauded the three principal actors ' achievements , especially Radcliffe : `` One of the joys of this film is watching Daniel Radcliffe grow so impressively into the role of Harry . He digs deep into the character and into Harry 's nightmares . It 's a sensational performance , touching all the bases from tender to fearful '' . Rolling Stone 's review also classified the film as better than the previous four instalments in the series , by losing the `` candy - ass aspect '' of the first two and `` raising the bar '' from the `` heat and resonance '' of the third and fourth . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called the film `` the best of the series so far , ( with ) the laughs , the jitters and the juice to make even nonbelievers wild about Harry '' . Leo Lewis of The Times ( London ) expressed disappointment that the three main actors were not able to fully advance the emotional sides of their respective characters , weakening the film . The San Francisco Chronicle complained about a `` lousy '' storyline , alleging that the first twenty minutes of the film , when Harry is put on trial for performing magic outside of school and threatened with expulsion , but is cleared of all charges , did not advance the plot . Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Phoenix is `` quite possibly the least enjoyable of the ( series ) so far '' , and that despite `` several eye - catching moments '' , `` the magic -- movie magic , that is -- is mostly missing '' . The review also criticised the under use of the `` cream of British acting '' , noting the brief appearances of Helena Bonham Carter , Maggie Smith , Emma Thompson , David Thewlis , Richard Griffiths , and Julie Walters . Accolades ( edit ) Before it was released , Order of the Phoenix was nominated in a new category at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards , Best Summer Movie You Have n't Seen Yet .

It was directed by Guy Hamilton , and stars Peter Ustinov in his second theatrical appearance as the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Filming locations 5 Notes 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) A hiker finds a dead woman on the Yorkshire moors ; the victim , who has been strangled , is identified as Alice Ruber . Shortly afterwards , Belgian detective Hercule Poirot ( Peter Ustinov ) examines a diamond belonging to millionaire industrialist Sir Horace Blatt ( Colin Blakely ) , and declares it a fake . Assured that Sir Horace gave a real diamond to his mistress and she later returned the fake to him , Poirot agrees to meet Sir Horace at an exclusive Adriatic island resort to confront her . The hotel is the former summer palace of the reigning King of Tyrania , now owned by Daphne Castle ( Maggie Smith ) , who had received the palace `` for services rendered '' . Sir Horace 's former mistress is actress Arlena Stuart Marshall ( Diana Rigg ) , who is on holiday with her husband Kenneth ( Denis Quilley ) . Arlena is emotionally abusive to her stepdaughter , Linda ( Emily Hone ) , and flirts with handsome young Patrick Redfern ( Nicholas Clay ) , who is himself married to the meek Christine ( Jane Birkin ) . Patrick is on the island only because Arlena arranged it . Kenneth turns to his old friend , Daphne , who reviles the way that Arlena treats both him and Linda . Arlena has also caused financial problems for Odell and Myra Gardener ( James Mason and Sylvia Miles ) by walking out of a major play , and refusing another . Writer Rex Brewster ( Roddy McDowall ) has already spent the royalties advanced to him for a tell - all biography of Arlena , but she refuses to give him a release . Early one morning , Arlena takes a paddle - boat to Ladder Bay . Patrick and Myra go for a boat trip around the island and see a body lying motionless on the beach . Patrick approaches the body and recognizes Arlena , announcing that she has been strangled . Poirot must determine which of his eight fellow guests -- or Daphne -- is the murderer . Daphne had heard Kenneth in his room typing at the time of the murder , and Christine was with Linda at Gull Cove and did not leave until 11 : 55 for a 12 : 30 tennis match . Sir Horace argued with Arlena about the diamond at Ladder Bay at 11 : 30 , which is confirmed by his yacht crew and by Daphne . Arlena kept the diamond , promising an explanation that evening , and Poirot finds the fake jewel nearby in a grotto . Patrick left at 11 : 30 with Myra , seeing Sir Horace 's yacht coming , and hearing the noon cannon . Rex met Linda entering Gull Cove at 12 : 00 , and reports that a bottle flung from the top of a cliff nearly hit him . Odell was seen reading by Daphne and her staff . He claims low water pressure hindered his 12 : 15 wash before tennis , but nobody admits to bathing at that time . Assembling the suspects together , Poirot accuses Christine and Patrick of the crime : Christine knocked out Arlena and hid her in the nearby grotto , and Patrick strangled the helpless Arlena later . Christine posed as Arlena with makeup to simulate a suntan , Arlena 's swimsuit and large red hat , to be purposely mis - identified by Patrick in Myra 's presence . But Poirot had smelled Arlena 's perfume in the grotto . Christine set Linda 's watch twenty minutes fast , suggested a swim cap to muffle the noon cannon , and corrected the watch afterward . She tossed out the lotion bottle , almost hitting Rex , and bathed off her tan , thus depriving the leaky hotel water system of pressure . Poirot suspects that Patrick switched Sir Horace 's jewel with a paste one , and that Patrick and Christine killed Arlena to protect the theft . The Redferns scoff at the detective 's accusations , as he has no real proof . On leaving the hotel , Patrick pays by cheque , signing the `` R '' in `` Redfern '' in a distinctive way that Poirot recognizes as the same way `` Felix Ruber '' , husband of the Yorkshire moor victim , signed his name . The hiker that found the body had been Christine , establishing Patrick 's alibi . Poirot knows photos from the British police will show Patrick and Felix to be the same person . Patrick puts a pipe in his mouth that has never been lit during his stay ; Poirot empties the pipe bowl to reveal the genuine diamond . The Redferns are then arrested as Poirot and the other guests leave the island . Cast ( edit ) Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot , the famous Belgian detective Maggie Smith as Daphne Castle , the owner of the island resort Colin Blakely as Sir Horace Blatt , a millionaire industrialist Diana Rigg as glamorous actress Arlena Stuart Marshall Denis Quilley as Kenneth Marshall , Arlena 's husband Emily Hone as Linda Marshall , Kenneth 's teenage daughter from an earlier marriage Roddy McDowall as Rex Brewster , a pompous writer and theatre critic James Mason and Sylvia Miles as Odell and Myra Gardener , New York City theatrical producers Nicholas Clay and Jane Birkin as Patrick and Christine Redfern , a handsome young man and his mousy wife Production ( edit ) The screenplay was written by Anthony Shaffer ( who had worked on previous Christie adaptations ) and an uncredited Barry Sandler . The adaptation stayed fairly close to Christie 's work but truncated scenes for time constraints , removed minor characters , and added humorous elements that were not present in the novel . Additionally , the novel was set in Devon , but the film was set on an Adriatic island in the fictional kingdom of Tyrania ( based on Albania ) . The characters of Rosamund Darnley and Mrs. Castle were merged , the characters of Major Barry and Reverend Stephen Lane were omitted , and the female character of Emily Brewster was written as a man named Rex Brewster , played by McDowall . Ustinov made his second film appearance as Poirot , having previously played the Belgian detective in Death on the Nile ( 1978 ) ; Smith and Birkin also appeared in both films . Quilley and Blakely appeared in the earlier Brabourne - produced Murder on the Orient Express ( 1974 ) . Guy Hamilton had previously directed another Agatha Christie film , The Mirror Crack 'd , in 1980 . Costumes for the film were designed by Academy Award winner Anthony Powell . Filming locations ( edit ) Dragonera from Majorca . The film was shot at Lee International Studios in Wembley , London , and on location in Majorca , Spain . The actual island used for aerial shots is Sa Dragonera , an uninhabited islet with `` natural park '' status , located just off the west coast of Majorca near Sant Elm . Other locations used were Cala Blanca as Ladder Bay , and offshore at Sant Elm for the south of France ( Sir Horace 's boat scenes ) . Cala d'en Monjo was used for the exteriors of Daphne 's Cove and Hotel ; the hotel itself was a private estate later bought by the Island Council of Majorca ( along with Ajuntament de Calvià - Municipal ) to create a natural park , which was demolished to its foundations . Gull Cove is the remote Cala en Feliu on the Formentor Peninsula . The other hotel exterior shots were filmed at the Raixa Estate , a large Italian style villa surrounded by Pietro Lazzarini - designed gardens , located in Bunyola , north of Palma . Once owned by the German designer Jil Sander , it was subsequently purchased by the Island Council of Majorca . Finally , Poirot boards his boat to the island from Cala de Deià , the coastal area of the exclusive town . The early scenes on the moors were shot in the Yorkshire Dales , England , with the exterior of the police station being the former Literary Institute in Muker , Swaledale .

Park Geun - hye ( Hangul : 박근혜 ; Hanja : 朴槿惠 ; RR : Bak Geun ( - ) hye ; IPA : ( pak ‿ k͈ɯn. hje ) ; born 2 February 1952 ) is a former South Korean politician who served as the 18th President of South Korea from 2013 to 2017 . Park was the first woman to be President of South Korea and also the first female president popularly elected as head of state in East Asia . She was also the first South Korean president to be born after the country 's founding ; her predecessors were either born during Japanese rule or during the post-World War II transitional period . Prior to her presidency , Park was chairwoman of the conservative Grand National Party ( GNP ) ( which changed its name to Saenuri Party in February 2012 ) from 2004 to 2006 and 2011 to 2012 . She was also a member of the National Assembly , serving four consecutive parliamentary terms between 1998 and 2012 .

She has a younger brother , Park Ji - man , and a younger sister , Park Geun - ryeong . She is unmarried with no children . Pew Research Center described her as an atheist with a Buddhist and Roman Catholic upbringing . In addition to her native Korean , Park also speaks English , French , Spanish , and Mandarin with varying degrees of fluency . In 1953 , Park 's family moved to Seoul and she graduated from Seoul 's Jangchung Elementary School and Sungshim ( literal : Sacred Heart ) Girls ' Middle and High School in 1970 , going on to receive a bachelor 's degree in electronic engineering from Sogang University in 1974 . She briefly studied at Joseph Fourier University , but left France following the murder of her mother . Park 's mother was killed on 15 August 1974 in the National Theater of Korea ; Mun Se - gwang , a Japanese - born ethnic Korean sympathizer of North Korea and member of the Chongryon , was attempting to assassinate President Park Chung - hee. Park was regarded as First Lady until the assassination of her father by his own intelligence chief , Kim Jae - gyu , on 26 October 1979 . During this time , activists who were political opponents of her father claimed to be subject to arbitrary detention . Further , human rights were considered subordinate to economic development . In 2007 , Park expressed regret at the treatment of activists during this period . Park received honorary doctoral degrees from the Chinese Culture University in Taiwan in 1987 , Pukyong National University and KAIST in 2008 , Sogang University in 2010 , and TU Dresden in 2014 . Career ( edit ) Assembly woman ( edit ) Park was elected a Grand National Party ( GNP ) assemblywoman for Dalseong County , Daegu , in 1998 by - election , and three more times in the same electoral district between 1998 and 2008 , being the incumbent assemblywoman till April 2012 . In 2012 , she announced that she would not run for a constituency representative seat for the 19th election in Dalseong or anywhere else , but for a proportional representative position for the Saenuri Party instead , in order to lead the party 's election campaign . She was elected as a proportional representative in the April 2012 election . GNP chairwoman and `` Queen of elections '' ( edit ) Due to the failed attempt to impeach President Roh Moo - hyun and the bribery scandal of its 2002 presidential candidate , Lee Hoi - chang ( revealed in 2004 ) , the GNP was facing a severe defeat in the 2004 general election . Park was appointed as the chairwoman of the party and led the election efforts . In the election , the GNP lost its majority position but managed to gain 121 seats , which is largely considered a great achievement under such inhospitable circumstances for the party . As the chairwoman of the GNP , Park helped her party make significant gains in local elections and actually obtain a majority in 2006 . During the campaign , on 20 May 2006 , Ji Chung - ho , a 50 - year - old man with eight criminal convictions , slashed Park 's face with a utility knife , causing an 11 - centimeter wound that required 60 stitches and several hours of surgery . A famous anecdote from this incident occurred when Park was hospitalized after the attack . The first word that she said to her secretary after her recovery from her wound was `` How is Daejeon ? '' After this , the candidate from the Grand National Party won the election for mayor of the city of Daejeon despite having trailed by more than 20 percentage points in opinion polls up to the point of the attack . In addition , during her term as the GNP chairwoman between 2004 and 2006 , the party won all 40 reelections and by - elections held , which was largely credited to her influence and efforts . This feat gave Park a nickname `` Queen of Elections '' . On 12 February 2007 , Park made a much - publicized visit to Harvard University in Cambridge , Massachusetts , United States . Her visit culminated in an address to a packed audience at the John F. Kennedy School of Government , where she said she wanted to save Korea and advocated a stronger relationship between South Korea and the United States . 2007 presidential bid ( edit ) Park hoped to emulate her father 's success by becoming the presidential nominee of the Grand National Party . She eventually lost to Lee Myung - bak by a narrow margin . Lee had a commanding lead at the beginning of the primary season , but Park was able to narrow the gap through allegations of Lee 's corruption . Park won the `` party members ' bid '' , but she lost the `` national bid '' , which is a larger percentage of the total presidential bid . 2008 general election ( edit ) After the 2007 presidential election , President Lee Myung - bak formed a government of mostly close supporters . Park 's supporters argued that this was a kind of political reprisal , and that they should secede from the Grand National Party . Eventually , they formed parties named Pro-Park Coalition and Solidarity for Pro-Park Independents ( 친박 무소속 연대 ; Chin Park Musosok Yeondae ) . Park herself did not join them , but indirectly supported them by announcing `` I hope these people will come back alive . '' After the mass secession , the rebels announced that they would rejoin GNP after the general election , but the GNP prohibited it . In the following 2008 general election , the rebels won 26 seats : 14 from the Pro-Park Coalition and 12 as independents . Together , they played a pivotal role in the GNP 's narrow majority . Park continually insisted that GNP should allow the return of her supporters . As of 2011 , most of these rebels had returned to the GNP , resulting in approximately 50 to 60 assembly members who support Park out of 171 in the GNP . Head of Saenuri party ( edit ) As a response to the dwindling approval rating of the GNP , the party formed an emergency committee and changed the name of the political party from the Grand National Party to the Saenuri Party , meaning `` New Frontier '' Party . On 19 December 2011 , Park was appointed as the chairwoman of GNP 's Emergency Committee , the de facto leader of the party . 2012 parliamentary election ( edit ) The Saenuri Party achieved a surprise win against the opposing Democratic United Party in the 2012 General Election , winning 152 seats and retaining its majority position . Because of the corruption scandals of the Lee administration revealed before the election , the Saenuri Party was widely expected to win no more than 100 seats . During the 13 - day campaign period , Park traveled about 7,200 km ( 4,500 mi ) around South Korea , visiting more than 100 constituencies . It is the consensus of Korean news media and political experts that the most important factor leading to Saenuri Party 's victory was Park 's leadership . For this reason , the 2012 election was often dubbed the `` return of the Queen of Election '' . Saenuri 's defeat in the populous Seoul metropolitan area in this election , however , revealed the limitation of Park 's political influence . 2012 presidential campaign ( edit ) Main article : South Korean presidential election , 2012 Park had been the leading candidate for the 2012 presidential election in every national - level poll in South Korea between 2008 , when the Lee Myung - bak administration began , and September 2011 , with an approval rating of 25 % to 45 % , more than twice that of the second candidate . Park 's approval rating was highest when the 2008 National Assembly election showed her strong influence and lowest in early 2010 as a result of her political stance against the Lee administration in Sejong City issue . In September 2011 , Ahn Cheol - soo , a former venture IT businessman and the Dean of Graduate School of Convergence Science and Technology at Seoul National University , emerged as a strong independent candidate for the presidency . In national - level presidential polls in September 2011 , Ahn and Park Geun Hye closely competed for the status of front - runner , with Park losing the top seat in some polls for the first time since 2008 . After her victory in the 2012 General Election , Park 's approval rating increased significantly . In a national - level survey by Mono Research on 30 August Park was the top presidential candidate with an approval rating of 45.5 % when competing with all potential candidates , and according to another recent national survey result , had a higher approval rating ( 50.6 % ) than Ahn ( 43.9 % ) in a two - way competition with him as of 11 September . On 10 July , Park formally announced her 2012 presidential bid at the Time Square , Yeongdeungpo District , Seoul . In this event she emphasized the right to pursue happiness , a democratic economy , and customized welfare services for the Korean people . The opposing Democratic Party elected Moon Jae - in as its presidential candidate on 17 September , while Ahn Cheol - soo announced his presidential bid on 19 September . Although still a leading candidate , Park had a lower approval rating than both Ahn and Moon when engaged in two - way competition , according to a 22 September national survey . She was elected as the President of the Republic of Korea on 19 December 2012 with the approval of 51.6 % of Korean voters . In 2017 , the NSI has admitted it conducted an illicit campaign to influence the South Korea 's 2012 presidential election , mobilising teams of experts in psychological warfare to ensure that the conservative candidate , Park Geun - hye , beat her liberal rival Moon Jae - in . Positions ( edit ) President Park Geun - hye ( center ) smiles and shows a portrait drawn by a girl in Cheong Wa Dae , Seoul , at Children 's Day 5 May 2013 In a 2012 survey by Korean Research assessing the political stance of 12 potential presidential candidates of South Korea , Park was considered the most conservative candidate . Her conservative , market - oriented political stance was well reflected in her campaign pledge for 2008 presidential bid to cut taxes , reduce regulation , and establish strong law and order . Since 2009 , however , Park started to focus more on welfare issues , advocating customized welfare services to the South Korean people . Park is well known for her strict , no - compromise adherence to political promises . In 2010 , for example , she successfully stopped the Lee administration 's attempt to cancel the plan to establish Sejong City , a new national center of administration , arguing the plan was a promise made to people . This conflict between Park and Lee Administration cost her a considerable decrease in her approval rating at the time . In 2012 , Park also vowed to construct a new airport in the southeastern region , a 2008 presidential campaign promise made by GNP but cancelled in 2011 , despite claims of economic infeasibility of the plan . The administrative vision of President Park Geun - hye 's new government is `` a new era of hope and happiness '' . The five Administrative Goals of the government are `` a jobs - centered creative economy '' , `` tailored employment and welfare '' , `` creativity - oriented education and cultural enrichment '' , `` a safe and united society '' and `` strong security measures for sustainable peace on the Korean Peninsula '' . The Park Geun - hye administration plans to create a trustworthy , clean , and capable government through carrying out these goals , related strategies , and tasks . Park chose not to vote in the 2017 South Korean presidential election . Presidency ( 2013 -- 17 ) ( edit ) Inauguration ( edit ) Park became the 18th president of South Korea on 25 February 2013 . At midnight , she took over all presidential authorities including the prerogative of supreme command of South Korea 's armed forces from her predecessor Lee Myung - bak . In her inauguration speech at the National Assembly building , Park spoke of her plan to open a new era of hope through `` economic prosperity , people 's happiness , and cultural enrichment '' . She particularly expressed her hope that North Korea would give up its nuclear arms and walk on the path of peace and mutual development , and declared that the foundation for a happy era of unification in which all Korean people will be able to enjoy prosperity and freedom and realize their dreams would be built through the Korean Peninsula Trust - building Process . In her inauguration speech , Park presented four guiding principles to realize her administrative vision : economic prosperity , people 's happiness , cultural enrichment , and establishment of foundation for peaceful unification . Park 's inauguration ceremony was the largest one in South Korean history with 70,000 participants . Diplomatic representatives in Korea as well as high - level delegates specially sent from 24 countries around the world including Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra , U.S. National Security Advisor Thomas Donilon , Taiwanese Legislative Speaker Wang Jin - pyng and former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda also participated in the event to congratulate Park . First year ( February 2013 -- February 2014 ) ( edit ) Administrative Philosophy ( edit ) The goal of the newly launched Park Geun - hye Administration for governing state affairs is to open `` a new era of hope and happiness for all the people '' . Park avowed that South Korea will break away from its long - pursued development model that centers around the nation , and shift the focus of government administration from the state to individual citizens . Through this process the structure of co-prosperity , in which the citizens become happy and as a result the nation develops , will be created . Park 's administrative vision and basic principles for governing the nation are concretely outlined in her policy plans for the economy , society , welfare , diplomacy , and unification . The administration 's keywords in managing state affairs are `` people '' , `` happiness '' , `` trust '' , `` co-prosperity '' and `` principle '' . Government restructuring ( edit ) Right after taking office , Park restructured the Blue House and government organization to carry out her administrative vision . The Office of National Security at the Blue House , Ministry of Science , ICT and Future Planning , and Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries were newly launched , and the seat of Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs was revived . The Chief of the National Security Office would act as a `` control tower '' for diplomatic , security , and national defense issues , and the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs for economic , social , and welfare issues . Foreign policy ( edit ) United States ( edit ) Park Geun - hye at a bilateral meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama on 7 May 2013 After taking office , Park met with John Kerry and U.S. President Barack Obama . Park 's trip to the United States in May 2013 was her first foreign trip after taking office . Like many of her predecessors , Park has maintained a close relationship with the U.S. , which has over 20,000 soldiers stationed in South Korea . During her visit to the U.S. , she addressed a joint session of the U.S. Congress , where she called for a united front against any North Korean provocations . Park also called for a strong global relationship between South Korea and the United States . Park assesses the security situation on the Korean Peninsula and emphasized that deterrence capabilities were the most important factor for security . Thus , Park considers the American - South Korean alliance as the most successful one in the world . And she hopes the American - South Korean relationship can be upgraded from a comprehensive strategic alliance to a global partnership . Park visited the United States on her first overseas trip as president . She traveled to Washington , D.C. , New York City , and Los Angeles on 5 -- 9 May 2013 . During summit talks in May at the White House , Presidents Park and Obama adopted a joint declaration for the American - South Korean alliance and discussed ways to further develop the bilateral relations in a future - forward manner . Also , two leaders discussed ways to promote cooperation in building peace in the Northeast Asian region and strength the partnership between Seoul and Washington . The two leaders of South Korea and the United States agreed to adopt a joint statement on comprehensive energy cooperation to build a foundation for a future growth engine and establish a policy cooperation committee on information and communication technology . In addition , President Park urged her U.S. counterpart to expand the annual U.S. visa quota for South Korean professionals in order to promote co-development of both economies . In particular , the `` Joint declaration in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Alliance between the Republic of Korea and the United States of America '' adopted by South Korea and the United States will become a meaningful document looking back at the past six decades of the alliance and spelling out a new direction for the development of bilateral relations over the coming decade . North Korea ( edit ) North Korea had engaged in provocations such as violating a UN Security Council resolution and firing a long - range missile on 12 December 2012 , just before 19 December presidential election . After Park was elected , North Korea conducted its third nuclear test 12 February 2013 , nullified the non-aggression agreements between the two countries on 8 March and withdrew North Korean workers from the Kaesong Industrial Complex on 8 April . Park maintained her stance that South Korea will not succumb to the North 's provocations and threats , and will endeavor to elicit policy coordination towards North Korea with major powers such as the United States , China and the UN . Her response to North Korean issues gained the support of many South Koreans and also the United States , China , and Russia , and played a significant role in the unanimous adoption by the UN Security Council of Resolution 2094 regarding North Korea on 7 March 2013 . Due to Park 's response and the international community 's actions , on 6 June North Korea ceased provocations and threats towards the South and suggested holding discussions on reopening the Kaesong Industrial Complex . Park said that peace and unification on the Korean peninsula is the wish of all 70 million Koreans and that as president she will do her utmost to meet such a goal . As well , `` the ultimate objective of reunification efforts is to improve the quality of life of people in both Koreas , to further expand freedom and human rights , and ( from there ) build a prosperous Korean Peninsula . '' She later stated , `` to open a new era of peace and hope on the peninsula , North Korea needs to accept her administration 's trust building policy initiative '' . Park 's policy vision and initiative on issues concerning North Korea and unification are reflected in her Korean Peninsula Trust - building Process . The Ministry of Unification has announced a new vision statement `` realizing a new unified Korea that ensures everyone 's happiness '' . The administrative tasks for this cause include normalizing inter-Korean relations through a trust - building process , embarking on small - scale unification projects that will lead to a complete integration of the two Koreas , and taking practical measures to prepare for unification by strengthening unification capabilities . According to Park , peaceful unification will be achieved in a three - stage unification initiative : starting from securing peace , going through economic integration , and finally reaching political integration . To achieve sustainable peace by the initiative , the new administration will offer humanitarian assistance for the people in North Korea , inter-Korean exchange and cooperation in economic , social and cultural areas , and will apply ' Vision Korea project ' for establishing a single economic community in the Korean Peninsula , conditioned on sufficient mutual trust and progress in denuclearizing North Korea . China ( edit ) Park Geun - hye and Chinese President Xi Jinping , Beijing , 27 June 2013 On 27 -- 30 June 2013 , Park visited China with a South Korean delegation , where she met with Xi Jinping , the Chinese president . During the meetings , Park explained the government 's stance on North Korea and gained his support . Russia ( edit ) On 13 November 2013 , Park held an extended summit with President Vladimir Putin , whose visit to South Korea was the first among leaders of 4 major powers including the United States , China , and Japan . During the summit , Park and Putin had a comprehensive and productive dialogue with focus on improving economic relations such as logistics cooperation projects ( through Russia and North Korea ) , expanding people - to - people exchanges , and strengthening political ties between South Korea and Russia . Park , especially , emphasized on making preparations to produce an outcome that corresponds to common interests by combining Korea 's Eurasian Initiative and Russia 's Asia - Pacific Policy . After the summit , both presidents issued a joint communique and held a joint press conference . Earlier , Park attended the G - 20 Summit at St. Petersburg in September 2013 , where she met Putin for a separate dialogue discussing economic cooperation and seeking support on North Korean issues . It marked the first Korea - Russia summit talk since Park 's inauguration . When Park met with Russian Minister for the Development of Russian Far East Viktor Ishaev , who headed the Russian delegation to Park 's inaugural ceremony , she stated that Russia is one of Korea 's key strategic partners , and the successful launch of the Naro rocket is the outcome of mutually beneficial relations and demonstrates that relations will grow stronger in the future . She also noted that Russia 's active participation in the six - party talks will contribute to alleviating tension on the Korean Peninsula . Economic policy ( edit ) Park announced her plan to build a `` Creative Economy '' on 5 June 2013 , representing her vision for economic revival and job creation . In April , Park said `` Timing is very important for our economic policy , jobs and livelihood mainly ordinary people should organize a supplementary budget in a timely manner . '' On 8 April 2014 , Park signed the Australia -- Korea Free Trade Agreement with Australia 's Prime Minister Tony Abbott . Social policy ( edit ) Park has proposed as one item on the national agenda the eradication of `` Four Major Social Evils '' ( 사 대회 악 : `` sam ( 4 ) dae - sahweak '' ) -- sexual violence , domestic violence , school violence and unsafe food . Statistics show that sexual violence and domestic violence are increasing in these years . Without referring to statistical data , aggravating school violence or food safety is a public concern in South Korea . She also launched the National Unity Committee on 17 June with the purpose to advise the president in the process of resolving various conflicts in South Korean society and establishing a culture of co-existence and co-prosperity . Former Democratic United Party Advisor Han Kwang - ok was named as the head . National ( edit ) On 18 May 2013 , President Park Geun - hye attended the 33rd anniversary of the Gwangju massacre , and gave voice to sorrow for the victims ' family members . Second year ( February 2014 -- February 2015 ) ( edit ) Park Geun - hye and U.S. President Barack Obama , 25 April 2014 Foreign policy ( edit ) North Korea ( edit ) Park proposed three steps to North Korea to help move toward the reunification of the Korean Peninsula , on 28 March in Dresden during her state visit to Germany . And marking the Korean Peninsula 's liberation from Japan 's colonial rule Friday ( 8.15 ) , President Park said , as anguish from the two Koreas ' separation passes from one generation to the next , abnormalities on the divided peninsula have become the norm . The South Korean president then highlighted the urgent need to increase understanding and to help merge the lives of South and North Koreans for reunification . `` Starting with jointly managing rivers and forests running through the two Koreas , we need to expand joint projects that benefit both sides . In that respect , I hope North Korea will attend the UN Convention on Biological Diversity conference to be held in South Korean city of Pyeongchang in October . '' President Park Geun - hye has warned that a new nuclear test by North Korea could lead to , `` a nuclear domino effect '' , that might provide its neighbors with a pretext to arm themselves with nuclear weapons , as she sat down with Wall Street Journal Managing Editor Gerard Baker in Seoul on 28 May . Government restructuring ( edit ) On 18 May 2014 , Park announced South Korea 's `` plans to break up its coastguard '' after failing to respond well during the MV Sewol ferry disaster . According to Park , `` investigation and information roles would be transferred to the South Korea National Police while the rescue and salvage operation and ocean security roles would be transferred to the Department for National Safety , not to be confused with the Korean Ministry of Security and Public Administration , which will be newly established '' . On 19 November 2014 , the Korea Coast Guard and National Emergency Management Agency ceased control as the Ministry of Public Safety and Security was founded at the same day . Third year ( February 2015 -- February 2016 ) ( edit ) Foreign policy ( edit ) Park Geun - hye with then - president of Brazil Dilma Rousseff China ( edit ) On 26 May 2015 , Park urged the head of the Asian Development Bank to cooperate with South Korea and the China - led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank after South Korea had officially applied to join the Chinese - led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in late March 2015 . Fourth and fifth year ( February 2016 -- March 2017 ) ( edit ) Foreign policy ( edit ) Iran ( edit ) Park Geun - hye being welcomed by Iran 's business minister , Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh in Mehrabad Airport On 1 May 2016 , Park became the first South Korean president to visit Iran . She was at the head of a 236 - member delegation of businessmen and entrepreneurs during a three - day visit to Tehran to discuss bilateral trade and other matters of mutual interest . She met Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and held talks with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei . The two countries also signed 19 basic agreements to expand mutual cooperation over a variety of areas . Earlier , Iran 's President Rouhani emphasized that Iran and South Korea are set to boost their trade volume from the current $6 billion to $18 billion . 2016 general elections ( edit ) Park suffered a serious setback in the 2016 general elections on 13 April 2016 , as the Saenuri Party lost both its majority and its status as first party in the National Assembly . Park had been criticized for her involvement in the elections and the party 's nomination process , and other Saenuri members blamed the pro-Park faction in the party for the defeat . Park loyalists fared badly in constituency elections . The result was seen to hinder the chances of Park 's passing her proposed economic reforms , and in the aftermath of the results the conservative The Chosun Ilbo stated that Park 's `` lame duck period has started earlier than any other administration in the past '' . Approval ratings ( edit ) Park Geun - hye 's Presidential Job Approval Rating Approval ratings by age In July 2013 , public support for Park 's method of governing state affairs reached up to 63 percent , much higher than the percentage of the votes she had won in the presidential election , which is 52 percent . The Korean media explained that such a high level of support comes from Park 's principled North Korea policy , constructive outcome from visits to the United States and China , and distancing away from internal political disputes . By January 2015 , Park 's approval rating had fallen to 30 percent , partly due to the sinking of MV Sewol and disputes with North Korea . By September 2015 , Park 's approval had increased to 54 percent due to her diplomacy that defused a military standoff with North Korea , but in the aftermath of her party 's 2016 election loss , her ratings fell back to 31.5 percent , plunging 8.1 percentage points compared to the week before the election . On 4 November 2016 , Park 's ratings fell to 4 -- 5 % as details of her relationship with Choi Soon - sil were investigated and exposed in what became the 2016 South Korean political scandal . Arrest and detention ( edit ) Park was arrested on 31 March 2017 , and held in pre-trial detention at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang , Gyeonggi Province . On 17 April 2017 , Park was formally charged with abuse of power , bribery , coercion , and leaking government secrets . Park denied the charges during five rounds of interrogation while in jail . Trial ( edit ) Prosecutors sought a 30 - year jail term for Park , along with a fine of ₩ 118,500,000,000 ( US $ 110,579,397 ) . On 6 April 2018 , a three - judge panel of the Central District Court in Seoul sentenced Park to 24 years in prison and a fine of ₩ 18,000,000,000 ( US $ 16,798,683 ) , finding her guilty of 16 out of 18 charges brought before her . In June 2018 three former NIS directors ( Lee Byung - kee , Lee Byung - ho , and Nam Jae - joon ) who served in the Park administration were found guilty of bribing , related to the 2016 Park Geun - hye scandals . They illegally transferred money from the NIS budget to Park 's presidential office . This illegally obtained money was used by Park and her associates for private use and to pay bribes . Controversies ( edit ) Parentage controversy ( edit ) Park had been often criticized for being the `` daughter of a dictator ( Park Chung - hee ) '' and for not actively supporting the Lee administration by supporters of Lee Myung - bak . A national - level poll conducted in July 2012 by a conservative newspaper reported that 59 % of participants responded they did not believe Park was a `` daughter of a dictator '' while 36 % agreed with the characterization . During a recent interview with the Cheongju broadcast station CJB , Park commented regarding her stance that her father 's May 16 coup was a `` revolution to save the country '' by stating , `` I do n't think it 's the place of politicians to be fighting over whether ( the events of 1961 ) were a ' coup d'etat ' or a ' revolution ' . '' In a July 2012 survey , 50 % of respondents answered that they disagreed with Park 's assessment that her father 's 1961 coup was `` unavoidable , the best possible choice , and an advisable decision '' , as opposed to 37 % that agreed . From another survey conducted in July 2012 , 42 % of respondents agreed with her opinion that her father 's 1961 coup was `` unavoidable '' , while 46 % disagreed . Bu - il foundation accusations ( edit ) Park has faced much scrutiny over an educational foundation , Jeongsoo Scholarship Foundation , formerly known as Buil ( in reference to the stock it controls in the newspaper `` Busan Ilbo '' ) , which her father , and later she , headed . Its original owners claimed in court they were forced to turn it over to her father . Party criticism ( edit ) A Saenuri Party assemblyman Nam Kyung - pil criticized the Park - centered nature of the party , regarding its preparation for the 2012 presidential election , and stated , `` If we keep seeing the same situation where Park Geun - hye gives a press conference before a general meeting of lawmakers is held , and what she says then gets decided on as the party 's position , then the public is going to think democracy has disappeared from the party . '' Furthermore , some have said Park 's behavior in the lead - up to 2012 presidential election was a mixture of trend - following and corner - cutting -- a stark contrast with the vehement insistence on principle that she showed when she opposed a revision of the plan for a multifunctional administrative city in Sejong City . For instance , Yim Tae - hee , another presidential candidate of the party , pointed to Park 's voting down of a motion to arrest Chung Doo - un , a lawmaker implicated with bribery related to saving banks . Another candidate , Ahn Sang - soo , accused Park of `` saying one thing yesterday and another today '' . Spokesman scandal ( edit ) Further information : Yoon Chang - jung Park fired Yoon Chang - jung , a Blue House spokesman who was alleged by Washington police to have committed sexual assault against a young woman hired as an intern at the South Korean Embassy in Washington during President Park 's first visit to the United States . Park has been criticized for picking the wrong people for senior government posts . Election - meddling scandal ( edit ) Main article : 2012 NIS public opinion manipulation scandal This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( November 2016 ) Just a week before the presidential election date , the opposing party alleged that the public servants from National Intelligence Service ( NIS ) have organized to promote Park 's election campaign by way of posting online articles favorable to Park and slanderous to the opposing candidates . This political behavior by public servants is strictly prohibited by Korean Constitution . To prove their allegation , the opposing Democratic Party , along with the police and Central Election Assistance Commission , swooped in the house where the alleged agent of NIS has resided . From there , the 29 - year - old female agent , later known as Ha - Young Kim , who was running an illegal online election campaign operation such as spreading slanderous postings about the opposing candidate had locked herself in . The police could not force to enter the house and the standoff lasted for three days , provoking a tense political standoff . The opposition accused the intelligence service of blocking an investigation . Park and her party accused the opposition of harassing the woman . Park even said the standoff of the self - lock - in was a violation of a female right in the presidential candidate debate that took place three days before the election . Later that night of the presidential debate , Kim Yong - pan , then the chief of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency , publicly announced there was no evidence of illegal online postings from the collected laptop of the female agent . This announcement , which took place three days before the election , was believed to have significantly affected the outcome of the presidential election according to the opposing party . After months of probes into the alleged election meddling , the prosecution concluded in mid-June 2013 that Won Sei - hoon , then NIS chief who headed the intelligence agency for around four years under former President Lee Myung - bak , ordered agents to conduct online smear campaign against opposition presidential candidates . The special investigation drew a conclusion that the agents systemically intervened in domestic politics by writing thousands of postings on politics in cyberspace through hundreds of different user IDs . Kim Yong - pan , then chief of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency ( SMPA ) , was prosecuted without physical detention on charges of abusing his authority to hamper police investigation into the case . CCTV conversation between the computer analysts who were analyzing the laptop at police revealed that the police already knew there were illegal online postings against the opposing party 's candidates , but the chief of SMPA publicly announced otherwise , an announcement that indicates intentional meddling into the presidential election . The investigation and the trial at court are on - going , and Park faces a political blow . However , the leading Saenuri party along with government leaders has attempted to dodge its political fall - out . Their effort has involved tipping a rumor to a major conservative media , Chosun Ilbo , about an extramarital child of the Chae Dong - wook , former Prosecutor General , who has approved the prosecution of Won Se - hoon and Kim Yong - pan , which eventually led to his resignation . Yoon Suk - ryul , the director of the special investigation team , which was leading the probe into the election meddling , was fired and returned to his original position , head of Yeoju branch Supreme Prosecutors Office . The investigation of his team has further revealed that the NIS is suspected of having posted 55,689 messages on Twitter for three months until the presidential election . Whether or not the election meddling of the NIS by way of online posts has actually affected the outcome of the presidential election is controversial . However , the false announcement by Kim Yong - pan , then chief of the SMPA , has appeared to do so . Had the police announced honestly , 14 % of the electorate who voted for Park said they would have voted for Moon Jae - In , the first runner - up of the election . Lack of communication ( edit ) Park has been criticized for holding press conferences with questions and answers submitted in advance . As of 11 January 2015 , she held press conferences four times since she took office in February 2013 . Among the four press conferences , three of them were public speeches without questions and answers . Even in the remaining press conference , the questions were submitted in advance and she read prepared answers . Her opponents labeled her as `` No communication '' ( 불통 , Bultong ) . November 2015 protests ( edit ) On 15 November 2015 , around 80,000 anti-government protesters clashed with government forces on the streets of Seoul , demanding that Park step down , with many of the protesters chanting `` Park Geun - hye , step down '' . The rally was triggered by Park 's adopting business - friendly labour policies and a decision to require middle and high schools to use only state - issued history textbooks in classes starting in 2017 , combined with plans to make labour markets more flexible by giving employers more leeway in dismissing workers . Security forces fired tear gas and sprayed water cannons into the crowd when protesters attempted to break through police barricades . Censorship ( edit ) In the wake of the April 2014 capsize of the Sewol ferry , public outcry arose over the government 's handling of the situation . In response , the Park administration established a commission to monitor and prosecute social media critics of Park . Tatsuya Kato , Japanese journalist who was a Seoul Bureau chief of South Korea at Sankei Shimbun was indicted on charges of defamation for reporting the relationship of President Park Geun - hye and Choi Soon - sil 's husband , Chung Yoon - hoi , by the Supreme Prosecutors ' Office of the Republic of Korea after the MV Sewol sank . Controversy about violating public official election Act ( edit ) On 25 June 2015 Park said that `` Betrayal which breaks the trust should n't be accepted in politics and this should be punished by election with people 's own hands '' . This mention was aimed to Yu Seungmin who was a member of Saenuri Party . Her mention was criticized by professor Jo Guk and politician Moon Jae - in because it had a purpose of losing Yu Seungmin 's election which is protected by Public Official Election Act . But the National Election Commission decided not to treat Park 's mention as a violation of Public Official Election Act . Choi Soon - sil scandal and impeachment ( edit ) Main article : 2016 South Korean political scandal See also : Impeachment of Park Geun - hye In late October 2016 , investigations into Park 's relationship with Choi Soon - sil , daughter of the late Church of Eternal Life cult leader and President Park 's mentor Choi Tae - min began . Several news media including JTBC and the Hankyoreh reported that Choi , who has no official government position , had access to confidential documents and information for the president , and acted as a close confidant for the president . Choi and President Park 's senior staffs including both Ahn Jong - bum and Jeong Ho - sung used their influence to extort ₩ 77.4 billion ( approximately $75 million ) from Korean chaebols -- family - owned large business conglomerates -- and set up two culture and sports - related foundations , Mir and K - sports foundations . Choi is also accused of having influenced Ewha Womans University to change their admission criteria in order for her daughter Chung Yoo - ra to be given a place there . Ahn Jong - bum and Jeong Ho - sung , top presidential aides , were arrested for abuse of power and helping Choi ; they denied wrongdoing and claimed that they were simply following President Park 's orders . On 25 October 2016 , Park publicly acknowledged her close ties with Choi . On 28 October , Park dismissed key members of her top office staff while her approval ratings fell to 4 % . Her approval rating ranged from 1 to 3 % for Korean citizens under 60 years of age , while it remained higher , at 13 % , for the over 60 age group . It was the worst ever approval rate in Korean history and is worse than the 6 % approval rating of former President Kim Young - sam , who was widely blamed for forcing the Korean economy into the 1997 Asian financial crisis . The controversy led to mass protests and rallies in October and November 2016 calling for her resignation . On 12 November , more than 1 million citizens participated in the protests at Gwanghwamun Square close to presidential residence demanding President Park 's resignation or impeachment . On 19 November , another 1 million people participated in the national protest after Park refused to help in the investigation . Protest held in November 2016 Park then fired a number of her cabinet members and the prime minister . In particular , the sacking of the prime minister Hwang Kyo - ahn resulted in a controversy , due to the claim that his firing was carried out via a text message . The Supreme Prosecutors ' Office of Korea ( SPO ) , in laying charges against Choi and two former presidential aides , have alleged that President Park colluded with the three in certain criminal activities . The president would be questioned by prosecutors , the first time this has occurred with a serving South Korean president . Following the scandal , there were a series of massive demonstrations that started in the first week of November 2016 . On 29 November 2016 , Park offered to resign as President , and invited the National Assembly to arrange a transfer of power . The opposition parties rejected the offer , accusing Park of attempting to avoid the process of impeachment . The National Assembly instead filed a motion for impeachment , which was put to a vote on 9 December 2016 and passed with 234 supports . Due to the ratification of her impeachment proposal , her presidential powers and duties were suspended , and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo - ahn assumed those powers and duties as Acting President . Park was finally ousted from office by the Constitutional Court on 10 March 2017 . The decision was unanimous , 8 -- 0 in favour of impeachment , as announced shortly thereafter . On 26 March 2017 , South Korean prosecutors announced they were seeking an arrest warrant against Park . This warrant was granted by the Seoul Central District Court on 30 March 2017 and Park was arrested later that day .

Cullen gets hired by the railroad and supervises an all - black `` cut crew '' , including Elam ( Common ) , whose job is to prepare the terrain for track laying . Through conversation with the railroad foreman , Daniel Johnson ( Ted Levine ) , Cullen learns more about his wife 's death , but tragedy strikes before Johnson reveals her killer 's name . Thomas `` Doc '' Durant ( Colm Meaney ) begins his `` mad , noble quest '' to expand his Union Pacific westward , in order to complete the transcontinental railroad . Lily Bell ( Dominique McElligott ) accompanies her ailing husband , Robert ( Robert Moloney ) , as he surveys the landscape for the Union Pacific ; when Robert is killed by the Cheyenne natives , Lily must cope with being a widow on foreign soil . Reverend Nathaniel Cole ( Tom Noonan ) baptizes Joseph Black Moon ( Eddie Spears ) , a Cheyenne , then takes him under his tutelage in the church .

Season three ( 2013 ) ( edit ) Main article : Hell on Wheels ( season 3 ) Bohannon abandons his quest to avenge his wife and son 's deaths , in order to battle Durant for control of the Union Pacific Railroad .

The Swede takes up with a Mormon family on their way to the fictional Fort Smith and later reveals his true nature . Season four ( 2014 ) ( edit ) Main article : Hell on Wheels ( season 4 ) Conflict arises among the government and businesses , ranchers , homesteaders , and the railroad , as all of those interests compete with one another for control of Cheyenne , Wyoming , the most important railroad hub in 1867 .

Season five ( 2015 -- 16 ) ( edit ) Main article : Hell on Wheels ( season 5 ) In Season 5 , set in California and Laramie , Wyoming , Bohannon is hired by the Central Pacific Railroad to build the transcontinental railroad eastward over the Sierra Nevada Mountains .

On May 18 , 2010 , AMC placed a pilot order for Hell on Wheels with Endemol USA . Joe and Tony Gayton wrote the pilot , David Von Ancken was attached to the project as director , and Jeremy Gold , Joe Gayton , and Tony Gayton served as executive producers . On July 6 , 2010 , Endemol USA announced that they had entered into a partnership with Entertainment One , which would serve as the production studio on the project . Part of the deal between the two companies included provisions of international distribution , with Endemol retaining rights to the series across Europe , while Entertainment One acquired rights to Hell on Wheels in all remaining territories . As a result of the deal , Entertainment One also holds global rights for DVD and Blu - ray sales , as well as video - on - demand and other digital distribution services . The Canadian production company Nomadic Pictures was brought onto the project to serve as co-producers alongside Entertainment One . The pilot was delivered to AMC executives in November 2010 . On November 12 , 2010 it was reported by Deadline that the executives at AMC were impressed with the pilot , and , coupled with the fact that the network had just cancelled their drama series , Rubicon , were likely to order Hell on Wheels to series . On December 15 , 2010 , AMC green - lighted the series with an order of 10 episodes . Along with the series pickup , AMC announced that Nomadic Pictures would again co-produce the series , as they had done for the pilot , with Mike Frislev and Chad Oakes joining the series as producers , while John Shiban and David Von Ancken joined the series as executive producers ; Von Ancken had previously served as director on the pilot . The network also announced that John Morayniss and Michael Rosenberg would oversee production for Entertainment One , while Joel Stillerman and Susie Fitzgerald would oversee production for AMC . On July 28 , 2011 , AMC announced that Hell on Wheels would premiere on November 6 , 2011 . The series is produced by Entertainment One and Nomadic Pictures . On November 8 , 2011 , co-creator Joe Gayton spoke of the series ' origins : `` We ( Tony and I ) started talking and remembered this story , American Experience , which was this really great documentary , and I thought , ' God , that 's great . I just learned a bunch of stuff I had never learned before . ' You just have this cursory information that the Chinese and the Irish built the railroad , but it got in underneath all the dirt and stuff that went on , with the financing of it , and the greed and corruption . And then , I heard about this Hell on Wheels place and I went , ' What a great setting for a western . ' So , we pitched that to Jeremy Gold ( at Endemol ) and ended up taking it to AMC , and they loved it , '' he said . On October 29 , 2012 , AMC renewed Hell on Wheels for a third season , however it was also announced that the series creators and showrunners , Joe and Tony Gayton , `` will no longer be involved day - to - day on the show '' and series producer / writer / director John Shiban would take over . Following the departure of Shiban , the renewal was put on hold until a replacement could be found . On December 12 , 2012 , AMC announced that John Wirth , a writer for Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles , will be the new showrunner , starting with the show 's third season . Casting ( edit ) Cullen Bohannon ( Anson Mount ) is the central character of the series . Casting announcements began in July 2010 , with Common first to be cast . Common portrays Elam Ferguson , `` an emancipated slave who is working to achieve true freedom in a world entrenched in prejudice '' . Next to join the series were Anson Mount and Dominique McElligott , with Mount playing Cullen Bohannon , `` a former soldier hell bent on avenging his wife 's death '' , and McElligott playing Lily Bell , `` a newly widowed woman trying to survive in a man 's world '' . Colm Meaney was next to be cast as Thomas `` Doc '' Durant , a `` greedy entrepreneur taking full advantage of the changing times '' . Ben Esler , Phil Burke and Eddie Spears were the last actors to be cast , with Esler playing Seán McGinnes and Burke playing Mickey McGinnes , `` two young brothers looking to find their fortune in the new West '' . Spears was cast as Joseph Black Moon , `` a Native American man torn between his culture and the changing world around him '' . It was later announced that Jesse Lipscombe , Gerald Auger , Robert Moloney and Ted Levine had joined the series as recurring guest stars . Jennifer Ferrin joined the cast as a series regular for season three , playing a New York Sun journalist covering the construction of the railroad . AMC announced that Dohn Norwood ( Psalms ) became a series regular for season three . Jake Weber joined the fourth season 's cast . He was initially to portray a carpetbagger seeking to profit from the frontier , but his role changed to John Allen Campbell , first governor of Wyoming . MacKenzie Porter has also been cast . She will replace Siobhan Williams in the role of Naomi , Bohannon 's Mormon bride . Cast quotes ( edit ) `` There 's a lot of just being in the right place at the right time , as well as being in the right place and time in my life . I could n't have played this role 10 years ago -- I needed a little bit of life behind me . I 'd been wanting to do a western for years but never had the opportunity to do that . So I immediately responded to this project , and I especially responded to the fact that the lead was a southern character who 's not stereotyped and not villainized . '' -- Anson Mount `` I usually read a script from an audience perspective first , and then look more closely at the character . With this , it was a complete page - turner . It was fantastically entertaining . And then , specifically looking at the character that they wanted me to play , it really got my juices going . You do n't see writing like this , nowadays . The vocabulary he uses is just fantastic . There was no hesitation . '' -- Colm Meaney Common spoke about the challenges of playing a former slave : `` Very challenging . And that 's why I took it on . It 's a lot of responsibility because what black people went through in slavery , within that system of slavery , was really treacherous . And for me , I felt like I owed it to the people that lived during that time to bring something truthful to the character . And even just revisiting some of the experiences of it , ( there ) was just a lot of emotion and a lot of pain . At the same time , a lot of strength came from it . What I enjoy most about the character is the fact that he was written so strong , not as just a person that was oppressed and kept his head down . '' Canadian actor Christopher Heyerdahl talks about how he got his role and the rarity of a Scandinavian character : `` Well , luck and providence , I suppose . They say , ' What 's luck ? Preparation and opportunity . ' So , I guess the opportunity came , in the form of an audition . I put myself on tape , and they responded to it . I went in and did a call - back audition , and they felt that we were on the same track . My idea of who The Swede was , was the same as theirs , and vice versa . This kind of character is very rare , with the fact that it fit so well with my background and my understanding of a Norwegian man . It all just fell into place . I still get a little choked up thinking about how often a character like this comes along . For the viewer , it 's quite interesting . It 's not a character that we see very often , and certainly not in this form . As an actor , it seemed to be tailor - made for me . It 's quite wonderful . '' Irish actress Dominique McElligott never expected to be cast in a period American role : `` I was hanging out in London , having drinks with friends who are all flight attendants , and they said that they would get me over to America for free , and I could stay and do some meetings and auditions . Hell on Wheels was the first one . I arrived on the 5th of July , and the Hell on Wheels audition was on the 6th or the 7th . It was crazy ! They did n't know me , at all . Obviously , I loved the pilot and I loved the character , but I did n't anticipate ever actually getting the chance to do it . When you go up for these brilliant parts , you just figure , ' Okay , well , they 're going to pick some American actress , and that will be that . ' But , the opportunity was there , and I really enjoyed the audition . It was fun . '' Exterior filming ( edit ) Filming of the first season took place in Calgary , as well as areas in central and southern Alberta , Canada . The T'suu T'ina Native Indian Reservation , an Indian reserve in southern Alberta , was the location for most of the exteriors . Exterior filming of the second season was near the Bow River in Calgary . Interior filming was in a building near the city 's airport . Series producers expected the filming of the season 's ten episodes to take about 80 days . Filming of the third season was suspended part way through the sixth episode when the location was included in the mandatory evacuation area due to the flooding in southern Alberta . Originally , producers had announced a two - day shut down , when the only road to the location was underwater . Later , on June 21 , producers announced that the production hiatus , scheduled to begin June 27 , would take effect immediately . Anson Mount shared pictures of the nearby river and exterior sets flooding on June 20 and 21 . Filming of the fourth season 's 13 episodes took place along the Bow River . Filming occurred from April 24 to September 24 , 2014 . The fifth season 's production filming occurred on the CL Ranch , west of Calgary , for the Truckee , California , and Laramie , Wyoming , locations . The Kananaskis Country park system , 40 miles west of the ranch , served as the Sierra Nevada mountains the Central Pacific must cross . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The first season was given 63 % on Metacritic based on 28 reviews , indicating a `` generally favorable '' impression . The second season was given 60 % on Metacritic , indicating `` mixed or average '' reviews . The Washington Post 's Hank Stuever rated the show highly , commenting , `` Hands down , the most intriguing show on the fall slate . Though imbued with epic sweep , Hell on Wheels is a western at heart , even if that heart is cold . Plenty of guns , knives , arrows , scalpings -- mixed with the incendiary socio - psychological wounds left in the Civil War 's wake . '' Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times says the show `` ... takes its cues more from the movies than from life . Never , in the episodes I watched , did I feel as if I were actually seeing how a railroad got built , and sometimes it took a bit of squinting not to see the characters as actors in a field , reading lines . Still , for all the unlikely things ( the creators ) make happen in order to get their characters into place , and the dogged refusal of a couple of those characters to become interesting at all , the show gathers steam as it goes on . '' The Wall Street Journal 's Nancy Dewolf Smith comments : `` ' Hell on Wheels ' finds enough beauty , danger and emotion to make some part of every episode seem fresh and worth waiting for . Not that new is always a good thing . Despite striking performances even in many of the smaller roles , the actors sometimes are made to symbolize very modern obsessions , e.g. with race and gender . The sight of modern sensibilities lurking behind the curtains can break ye olde spell . '' Brian Lowry of Variety writes : `` While the diverse mix of characters could work to the program 's advantage over the long haul , jumping to and fro among them creates a diluted , herky - jerky ride in the early going . '' The Washington Post reported that the series has been criticized for not depicting Chinese immigrants during the transcontinental railroad construction scenes . Creator Joe Gayton said `` budget-wise and time-wise ... we could really only concentrate on one side of ( the railroad building ) , and that 's probably why we , you know , that 's why we chose the ( emanating from the East Coast ) Union Pacific as opposed to the ( emanating from the West Coast ) Central Pacific . '' By the fifth season , the show expanded its focus to include a significant look at the role of Chinese immigrant workers in the growth of the railroad . Ratings ( edit ) The pilot , premiering November 6 . 2011 , was watched by 4.4 million viewers -- AMC 's second - highest series premiere in history , following The Walking Dead . Among key demographics , the pilot episode was viewed by 2.4 million viewers in the adults 18 -- 49 category , and 2.3 million viewers in the adults 25 -- 54 demographics , according to Nielsen . The total viewership bested network slot rivals CSI : Miami and Pan Am . The sixth episode was watched by 2.15 million viewers , the lowest viewership of the first season and had a 0.6 rating in the 18 -- 49 age range . The viewership numbers eventually rebounded with the season one finale being watched by 2.84 million viewers , maintaining its steady 0.7 rating in the 18 -- 49 age range . In January 2012 , following the season one finale , AMC confirmed Hell on Wheels as the network 's second - highest rated original series , behind The Walking Dead , averaging three million viewers per episode .

"Hell on Wheels is an American Western television series about the construction of the First Transcontinental Railroad across the United States. The series, which featured Anson Mount, Colm Meaney, Common, and Dominique McElligott, chronicled the Union Pacific Railroad and its laborers, mercenaries, prostitutes, surveyors, and others who lived, worked, and died in the mobile encampment, called \"Hell on Wheels\", that followed the railhead west across the Great Plains. In particular, the story focused on Cullen Bohannon (Mount), a former Confederate soldier who, while working as foreman and chief engineer on the railroad, initially attempted to track down the Union soldiers who murdered his wife and young son during the American Civil War. The series, which broadcast in the United States and Canada on the cable channel AMC, aired from November 6, 2011[2] to July 23, 2016.\n"

It follows the Neogene Period and spans from 2.588 ± 0.005 million years ago to the present . The Quaternary Period is divided into two epochs : the Pleistocene ( 2.588 million years ago to 11.7 thousand years ago ) and the Holocene ( 11.7 thousand years ago to today ) . The informal term `` Late Quaternary '' refers to the past 0.5 -- 1.0 million years . The Quaternary Period is typically defined by the cyclic growth and decay of continental ice sheets associated with Milankovitch cycles and the associated climate and environmental changes that occurred . Contents ( hide ) 1 Research history 2 Geology 3 Climate 4 Quaternary glaciation 4.1 Last glacial period 5 Journals relating to the Quaternary Period 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Research history ( edit ) The term Quaternary ( `` fourth '' ) was proposed by Giovanni Arduino in 1759 for alluvial deposits in the Po River valley in northern Italy . It was introduced by Jules Desnoyers in 1829 for sediments of France 's Seine Basin that seemed clearly to be younger than Tertiary Period rocks . The Quaternary Period follows the Neogene Period and extends to the present . The Quaternary covers the time span of glaciations classified as the Pleistocene , and includes the present interglacial time - period , the Holocene . This places the start of the Quaternary at the onset of Northern Hemisphere glaciation approximately 2.6 million years ago . Prior to 2009 , the Pleistocene was defined to be from 1.805 million years ago to the present , so the current definition of the Pleistocene includes a portion of what was , prior to 2009 , defined as the Pliocene . Subdivisions of the Quaternary System System / Period Series / Epoch Stage / Age Age ( Ma ) Quaternary Holocene 0 0.0117 Pleistocene Tarantian 0.0117 0.126 Ionian 0.126 0.781 Calabrian 0.781 1.80 Gelasian 1.80 2.58 Neogene Pliocene Piacenzian older Subdivision of the Quaternary period according to the ICS , as of 2017 . In Europe and North America , the Holocene is subdivided into Preboreal , Boreal , Atlantic , Subboreal , and Subatlantic stages of the Blytt -- Sernander time scale . There are many regional subdivisions for the Upper or Late Pleistocene ; usually these represent locally recognized cold ( glacial ) and warm ( interglacial ) periods . The last glacial period ends with the cold Younger Dryas substage . Quaternary stratigraphers usually worked with regional subdivisions . From the 1970s , the International Commission on Stratigraphy ( ICS ) tried to make a single geologic time scale based on GSSP 's , which could be used internationally . The Quaternary subdivisions were defined based on biostratigraphy instead of paleoclimate . This led to the problem that the proposed base of the Pleistocene was at 1.805 Mya , long after the start of the major glaciations of the northern hemisphere . The ICS then proposed to abolish use of the name Quaternary altogether , which appeared unacceptable to the International Union for Quaternary Research ( INQUA ) . In 2009 , it was decided to make the Quaternary the youngest period of the Cenozoic Era with its base at 2.588 Mya and including the Gelasian stage , which was formerly considered part of the Neogene Period and Pliocene Epoch . The Anthropocene has been proposed as a third epoch as a mark of the anthropogenic impact on the global environment starting with the Industrial Revolution , or about 200 years ago . The Anthropocene is not officially designated by the ICS , however , but a working group is currently aiming to complete a proposal for the creation of an epoch or sub-period by 2016 . Geology ( edit ) Further information : Quaternary geology The 2.6 million years of the Quaternary represents the time during which recognizable humans existed . Over this short time period , there has been relatively little change in the distribution of the continents due to plate tectonics . The Quaternary geological record is preserved in greater detail than that for earlier periods . The major geographical changes during this time period included the emergence of the Strait of Bosphorus and Skagerrak during glacial epochs , which respectively turned the Black Sea and Baltic Sea into fresh water , followed by their flooding ( and return to salt water ) by rising sea level ; the periodic filling of the English Channel , forming a land bridge between Britain and the European mainland ; the periodic closing of the Bering Strait , forming the land bridge between Asia and North America ; and the periodic flash flooding of Scablands of the American Northwest by glacial water . The current extent of Hudson Bay , the Great Lakes and other major lakes of North America are a consequence of the Canadian Shield 's readjustment since the last ice age ; different shorelines have existed over the course of Quaternary time . Climate ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( May 2015 ) The climate was one of periodic glaciations with continental glaciers moving as far from the poles as 40 degrees latitude . There was a major extinction of large mammals in Northern areas at the end of the Pleistocene Epoch . Many forms such as saber - toothed cats , mammoths , mastodons , glyptodonts , etc. , became extinct worldwide . Others , including horses , camels and American cheetahs became extinct in North America . Quaternary glaciation ( edit ) Main article : Quaternary glaciation Glaciation took place repeatedly during the Quaternary Ice Age -- a term coined by Schimper in 1839 that began with the start of the Quaternary about 2.58 Mya and continues to the present day . Last glacial Period ( edit ) Artist 's impression of Earth during the Last Glacial Maximum Main article : Last glacial period In 1821 , a Swiss engineer , Ignaz Venetz , presented an article in which he suggested the presence of traces of the passage of a glacier at a considerable distance from the Alps . This idea was initially disputed by another Swiss scientist , Louis Agassiz , but when he undertook to disprove it , he ended up affirming his colleague 's hypothesis . A year later , Agassiz raised the hypothesis of a great glacial period that would have had long - reaching general effects . This idea gained him international fame and led to the establishment of the Glacial Theory . In time , thanks to the refinement of geology , it has been demonstrated that there were several periods of glacial advance and retreat and that past temperatures on Earth were very different from today . In particular , the Milankovitch cycles of Milutin Milankovitch are based on the premise that variations in incoming solar radiation are a fundamental factor controlling Earth 's climate . During this time , substantial glaciers advanced and retreated over much of North America and Europe , parts of South America and Asia , and all of Antarctica . The Great Lakes formed and giant mammals thrived in parts of North America and Eurasia not covered in ice . These mammals became extinct when the glacial period Age ended about 11,700 years ago . Modern humans evolved about 315,000 years ago . During the Quaternary Period , mammals , flowering plants , and insects dominated the land .

These Olympic medal counts do not include the 1906 Intercalated Games which are no longer recognized by the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) as official Games . The IOC itself does not publish all - time tables , and publishes unofficial tables only per single Games . This table was thus compiled by adding up single entries from the IOC database . The results are attributed to the IOC country code as currently displayed by the IOC database . Usually , a single code corresponds to a single National Olympic Committee ( NOC ) . When different codes are displayed for different years , medal counts are combined in the case of a simple change of IOC code ( such as from HOL to NED for the Netherlands ) or simple change of country name ( such as from Ceylon to Sri Lanka ) . As the medals are attributed to each NOC , not all totals include medals won by athletes from that country for another NOC , such as before independence of that country ( see individual footnotes for special cases such as combined teams ) . Names in italic are national entities that no longer exist . The totals of NOCs are not combined with those of their predecessors and successors .

wrestling ) award or have previously awarded two bronze medals per competition . Some tied performances have resulted in multiple medals of the same colour being awarded for an event . If this tie is for gold or silver , there will be a consequent absence of a silver or bronze medal for that event . Not all medals which have been revoked have been re-awarded . Some early events , such as cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics had only two entrants . Retroactively awarding gold , silver and bronze medals for the 1896 and 1900 games results in some anomalies , such as the 100 metre freestyle swimming event in 1896 where no surviving records distinguish the places of those who finished between 3rd and 10th position . NOCs without medals ( edit ) After the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , 71 of the current 206 National Olympic Committees have yet to win an Olympic medal .

Various sources deal with some of the entries in the preceding sections differently . Early Olympics ( edit ) For the 1900 Summer Olympics several countries are credited with appearances that are not considered official by the IOC . Only one of these cases concerns a medal . A gold medal that is officially added to France 's total is given to Luxembourg . Similar cases of disputed nationality affect the 1904 Summer Olympics . France is credited with a silver medal and Norway with two gold medals . In the table above these medals are listed under the United States . Furthermore , Newfoundland is occasionally listed as a separate country at the 1904 Olympics , and would be listed as a historical NOC without medals . Other differences from the official table are based on disagreements about which events were Olympic . This affects several of the events in the 1900 and 1904 Olympics . In addition , some sources include the 1906 Intercalated Games when compiling their medal tables . Germany ( edit ) Germany has competed under five different designations , including as two separate teams at several Games . Sources vary in how they present the medals won by these teams . The table below shows sourced combinations of these teams , when applied to the updated medal totals from the main table . Summer Games Winter Games Combined Total Team ( IOC code ) No 01 ! 02 ! 03 !

The Soviet Union is sometimes combined with the post-union team that competed in 1992 . Few sources combine the Soviet Union and Russia as many republics which subsequently gained independence ( Armenia , Azerbaijan , Belarus , Estonia , Georgia , Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan , Latvia , Lithuania , Moldova , Tadjikistan , Turkmenistan , Ukraine , Uzbekistan ) contributed to the medal tally of the USSR .

They competed together during the 1908 and 1912 Games . → → , Prior to the foundation of Czechoslovakia ( TCH ) after World War I , athletes from Bohemia ( BOH ) ( now part of the present - day Czech Republic ) competed in 1900 , 1908 , and 1912 Games . Czechoslovakia competed in 1920 -- 1992 , from 1994 represented by successor NOCs of Czech Republic ( CZE ) and Slovakia ( SVK ) . → , , Athletes from Barbados ( BAR ) , Jamaica ( JAM ) , and Trinidad and Tobago ( TRI ) competed as the British West Indies ( BWI ) at the 1960 Games . The West Indies Federation only existed as a nation from 1958 -- 1962 , so the constituent nations once again competed independently in 1964 . , , , → Germany ( GER ) competed 1896 -- 1952 and from 1992 . Due to the partition of Germany after World War II , Germany was represented by two teams at the 1952 Games -- Germany ( GER ) and the Saar ( SAA ) . The Saar was reintegrated back into the Federal Republic of Germany on 1 January 1957 , and Saar athletes then competed for Germany . East Germany did not contribute athletes to the 1952 team , as the National Olympic Committee for the German Democratic Republic was only granted `` provisional '' recognition by the IOC in 1955 . For the Games of 1956 -- 1964 , Germany participated as a United Team of Germany ( EUA ) , representing the National Olympic Committees of both West Germany and East Germany . Retrospectively , the IOC uses the country code EUA for this team . After the NOC for the German Democratic Republic was granted full recognition by the IOC in 1968 , East Germany ( GDR ) and West Germany ( FRG ) competed as two independent teams from the 1968 to the 1988 Games . , → Athletes from Malaya ( MAL ) and North Borneo ( NBO ) competed as independent teams at the 1956 Games and Malaya also competed at the 1960 Games , prior to the formation of the Federation of Malaysia ( MAS ) in 1963 . The Netherlands Antilles ( AHO ) , an autonomous country within the Netherlands ( NED ) , competed 1952 -- 2008 .

Yugoslavia ( YUG , 1920 - 1992 Winter ) competed as Kingdom of Yugoslavia ( officially the Kingdom of Serbs , Croats and Slovenes until 1929 ) in five Games ( 1920 -- 1936 ) before the Second World War . They later competed as Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for the Games ( 1948 -- 1992 Winter ) . This ended with the Breakup of Yugoslavia . Some ex-Yugoslavian nations ( Croatia , Slovenia , Bosnia and Herzegovina ) have competed as independent teams since 1992 . Individual athletes from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( Serbia and Montenegro ) competed as Independent Olympic Participants ( IOP ) at the 1992 Summer Games because of sanctions placed by the United Nations . Athletes representing Macedonia likewise competed as independent olympic participants because their NOC had not yet been formed . Since 1996 Macedonia has competed as independent team . The combined team Serbia and Montenegro ( SCG , 2004 - 2006 ) consisted of the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Montenegro . They competed as Yugoslavia from ( YUG , 1996 -- 2002 ) and then changed to State Union of Serbia and Montenegro ( 2004 -- 2006 ) . After 96 years Serbia returned to the Olympics as an independent team at the 2008 Games .

In 1979 , the IOC started to use Chinese Taipei to refer to the NOC , a compromise that was acceptable for the People 's Republic of China ( CHN ) that led to the start of its participation in the Olympic Games . The name Chinese Taipei was first used in 1984 . Participation of the Republic of China , representing all of China ( including Taiwan ) , in 1932 , 1936 and 1948 Games are not counted in Taiwan 's total participation count .

This participation is not counted in Brunei 's participation total . Djibouti at the 2004 Games took part in the Opening Ceremony , but neither athlete competed , so this participation is not counted in Djibouti 's participation total . Liberia 's athletes withdrew from 1980 Games after marching in the Opening Ceremony and took part in the boycott . This participation is not counted in Liberia 's participation total .

Does not include medals won as part of mixed teams with athletes from other nations ( 1896 -- 1904 ) . Disputed participation notes ( edit ) The Bulgarian Olympic Committee claims that Charles Champaud , a Swiss gymnastics teacher living in Sofia , competed for the nation in 1896 . Bulgarian participation at the 1896 Games is recognized by the IOC . The Chilean Olympic Committee claims that Luis Subercaseaux Errázuriz , a Chilean diplomat and athlete , competed for the nation in 1896 . Chilean participation at the 1896 Games is recognized by the IOC . Some sources consider Léon Thiércelin , a fencer who competed at the 1900 Games , of Haitian nationality and therefore the first Olympic appearance by Haiti . Participation of Haiti at the 1900 Games not recognized by the IOC , so this participation is not counted in Haiti 's participation total . Some sources consider Freydoun Malkom , a fencer who competed at the 1900 Games , of Persian nationality and therefore the first Olympic appearance by Iran . Participation of Iran at the 1900 Games is not recognized by the IOC , so this participation is not counted in Iran 's participation total . Some sources consider Carlos de Candamo , a fencer who competed at the 1900 Games , of Peruvian nationality and therefore the first Olympic appearance by Peru . Participation of Peru at the 1900 Games is not recognized by the IOC , so this participation is not counted in Peru 's participation total . Enrico Brusoni 's gold medal in the Cycling Men 's Points Race at the 1900 Summer Olympics is recognized by the Italian National Olympic Committee , but this race is not recognized by the IOC as a 1900 Summer Olympics event . Monaco earned a bronze in the art competitions at the 1924 Summer Olympics . However , medals in art competitions are no longer recognized by the IOC . Michel Théato , a French athlete who won the gold medal in marathon at the 1900 Games , was born in Luxembourg . The IOC does not recognize Luxembourg participation at the 1900 Games and attributes his medal to France . The nationalities of many medalists at the 1904 Olympics are disputed as many competitors were recent immigrants to the United States who had not yet been granted US citizenship . Sources are inconsistent regarding Albert Corey 's participation in 1904 . Although the Games report refers to Corey as a `` Frenchman wearing the colors of the Chicago Athletic Association '' , the IOC attributes his medal in the marathon to the United States instead of France , and in contradiction , the medal in the four mile team race ( that was won by a team of three Americans and Corey ) to a mixed team composed of athletes from multiple nations instead of just the United States . The International Olympic Committee considers Norwegian - American wrestlers Charles Ericksen and Bernhoff Hansen to have competed for the United States ; each won a gold medal . In 2012 , Norwegian historians however found documentation showing that Ericksen did not receive American citizenship until March 22 , 1905 , and that Hansen , who was registered as an `` alien '' as late as 1925 , probably never received American citizenship . The historians have therefore petitioned to have the athletes registered as Norwegians . In May 2013 it was reported that the Norwegian Olympic Committee had filed a formal application for changing the nationality of the wrestlers in IOC 's medal database . Bob Fowler , an American marathon runner who competed at the 1904 Games , was a native Newfoundlander , Newfoundland is occasionally listed as a separate country at the 1904 Olympics , and would be listed as an historical NOC without medals . Participation of Newfoundland at the 1904 Games is not recognized by the IOC . In 2009 , historians from the International Society of Olympic Historians discovered that cyclist Frank Bizzoni formerly thought to be an American athlete was still an Italian citizen when he competed in 1904 being granted US citizenship in 1917 .

Liberia and Sierra Leone have expressed an interest in joining the eco . The Economic Community of West African States , also known as ECOWAS ( French : Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest , CEDEAO ; Portuguese : Comunidade Económica dos Estados da África Ocidental , CEDEAO ) , is a regional economic union of fifteen countries located in West Africa . Collectively , these countries comprise an area of 5,114,162 km ( 1,974,589 sq mi ) , and in 2015 had an estimated population of over 349 million . The union was established on 28 May 1975 , with the signing of the Treaty of Lagos , with its stated mission to promote economic integration across the region . A revised version of the treaty was agreed and signed on 24 July 1993 in Cotonou . Considered one of the pillar regional blocs of the continent - wide African Economic Community ( AEC ) , the states goal of ECOWAS is to achieve `` collective self - sufficiency '' for its member states by creating a single large trade bloc by building a full economic and trading union . ECOWAS also serves as a peacekeeping force in the region , with member states occasionally sending joint military forces to intervene in the bloc 's member countries at times of political instability and unrest . In recent years these included interventions in Ivory Coast in 2003 , Liberia in 2003 , Guinea - Bissau in 2012 , Mali in 2013 , and Gambia in 2017 . ECOWAS includes two sub-regional blocs : The West African Economic and Monetary Union ( also known by its French - language acronym UEMOA ) is an organization of eight , mainly French - speaking , states within the ECOWAS which share a customs union and currency union . Established in 1994 and intended to counterbalance the dominance of English - speaking economies in the bloc ( such as Nigeria and Ghana ) , members of UEMOA are mostly former territories of French West Africa . The currency they all use is the CFA franc , which is pegged to the euro . The West African Monetary Zone ( WAMZ ) , established in 2000 , comprises six mainly English - speaking countries within ECOWAS which plan to work towards adopting their own common currency , the eco . ECOWAS operates in three co-official languages -- French , English , and Portuguese , and consists of two institutions to implement policies : the ECOWAS Commission and the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development ( EBID ) , formerly known as the Fund for Cooperation until it was renamed in 2001 . A few members of the organization have come and gone over the years . In 1976 Cape Verde joined ECOWAS , and in December 2000 Mauritania withdrew , having announced its intention to do so in December 1999 . In 2011 , ECOWAS adopted its development blueprint for the next decade , Vision 2020 , and , to accompany it , a Policy on Science and Technology ( ECOPOST ) .

All current members joined the community as founding members in May 1975 , except Cape Verde which joined in 1977 . The only former member of ECOWAS is Arabic - speaking Mauritania , which was also one of the founding members in 1975 and decided to withdraw in December 2000 . Morocco officially requested to join ECOWAS in February 2017 . The application was endorsed at the summit of heads of state in June 2017 .

They also signed a Protocol on Mutual Defence Assistance in Freetown , Sierra Leone , on 29 May 1981 , that provided for the establishment of an Allied Armed Force of the Community . Community Parliament ( edit ) The Community Parliament consists of 115 members , distributed based on the population of each member state . This body is headed by the Speaker of the Parliament , who is above the Secretary General .

The first was when it revised its treaty on 24 July 1993 ; the second was in 2007 when the Secretariat was transformed into a Commission . As of July 2013 , ECOWAS now has six new departments ( Human Resources Management ; Education , Science and Culture ; Energy and Mines ; Telecommunications and IT ; Industry and Private Sector Promotion . Finance and Administration to Sierra Leone has been decoupled , to give the incoming Ghana Commissioner the new portfolio of Administration and Conferences ) Community Court of Justice ( edit ) Main article : ECOWAS Court The ECOWAS Community Court of Justice was created by a protocol signed in 1991 and was later included in Article 6 of the Revised Treaty of the Community in 1993 . However , the Court did not officially begin operations until the 1991 protocol came into effect on 5 November 1996 . The jurisdiction of the court is outlined in Article 9 and Articles 76 of the Revised Treaty and allows rulings on disputes between states over interpretations of the Revised Treaty . It also provides the ECOWAS Council with advisory opinions on legal issues ( Article 10 ) . Like its companion courts the European Court of Human Rights and East African Court of Justice , it has jurisdiction to rule on fundamental human rights breaches . Sporting and cultural exchange ( edit ) ECOWAS nations organize a broad array of cultural and sports event under the auspices of the body , including the CEDEAO Cup in football , the 2012 ECOWAS Games and the Miss CEDEAO beauty pageant . Economic integration ( edit ) West African Economic and Monetary union ( UEMOA ) ( edit ) See also : CFA franc and Economic and monetary union UEMOA WAMZ ECOWAS only ( Cape Verde ) The West African Economic and Monetary Union ( also known as UEMOA from its name in French , Union économique et monétaire ouest - africaine ) is an organization of eight , mainly francophone West African states within the ECOWAS , that was dominated otherwise by anglophone heavyweights like Nigeria and Ghana . It was established to promote economic integration among countries that share the CFA franc as a common currency . UEMOA was created by a Treaty signed at Dakar , Senegal , on 10 January 1994 , by the heads of state and governments of Benin , Burkina Faso , Côte d'Ivoire , Mali , Niger , Senegal , and Togo . On 2 May 1997 , Guinea - Bissau , a former Portuguese colony , became the organization 's eighth ( and only non-Francophone ) member state . UEMOA is a customs union and currency union between the members of ECOWAS . Its objectives include the following : Greater economic competitiveness , through open markets , in addition to the rationalisation and harmonisation of the legal environment The convergence of macro-economic policies and indicators The creation of a common market The co-ordination of sectoral policies The harmonisation of fiscal policies Among its achievements , the UEMOA has successfully implemented macro-economic convergence criteria and an effective surveillance mechanism . It has adopted a customs union and common external tariff and has combined indirect taxation regulations , in addition to initiating regional structural and sectoral policies . A September 2002 IMF survey cited the UEMOA as `` the furthest along the path toward integration '' of all the regional groupings in Africa . ECOWAS and UEMOA have developed a common plan of action on trade liberalisation and macroeconomic policy convergence . The organizations have also agreed on common rules of origin to enhance trade , and ECOWAS has agreed to adopt UEMOA 's customs declaration forms and compensation mechanisms .

The six member states of WAMZ are Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Nigeria and Sierra Leone who founded the organization together in 2000 and Liberia who joined on 16 February 2010 . Apart from Guinea , which is Francophone , they are all English - speaking countries . Along with Mauritania , Guinea opted out of the CFA franc currency shared by all other former French colonies in West and Central Africa . The WAMZ attempts to establish a strong stable currency to rival the CFA franc , whose exchange rate is tied to that of the Euro and is guaranteed by the French Treasury . The eventual goal is for the CFA franc and Eco to merge , giving all of West and Central Africa a single , stable currency . The launch of the new currency is being developed by the West African Monetary Institute based in Accra , Ghana .

-8421092532594763708 | Pas de deux | Pas de deux - wikipedia Pas de deux This article is about the ballet term . For other uses , see Pas de deux ( disambiguation ) . Dancers performing Paquita grand pas de deux entrée In ballet , a pas de deux ( pɑ d ( ə ) dø ) ( French , literally `` step of two '' ) is a dance duet in which two dancers , typically a male and a female , perform ballet steps together . The pas de deux is characteristic of classical ballet and can be found in many well - known ballets , including Sleeping Beauty , Swan Lake , and Giselle . It is most often performed by a male and a female ( a danseur and a ballerina ) though there are exceptions , such as in the film White Nights , in which a pas de deux is performed by Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines . Contents ( hide ) 1 Grand pas de deux 1.1 Entrée 1.2 Adagio 1.3 Variations 1.4 Coda 2 History 3 Notable Pas de deux 4 See also 5 References 6 External links 7 Further reading Grand pas de deux ( edit ) A grand pas de deux is a structured pas de deux that typically has five parts , consisting of an entrée ( introduction ) , an adagio , two variations ( a solo for each dancer ) , and a coda ( conclusion ) . It is effectively a suite of dances that share a common theme , often symbolic of a love story or the partnership inherent in love , with the dancers portraying expressions of affectionate feelings and thoughts between romantic partners . It is often considered to be the pièce de résistance and bravura highlight of a ballet and is usually performed by a leading pair of principal dancers . Entrée ( edit ) A grand pas de deux usually begins with an entrée ( literally `` entrance '' ) , which serves as a short prelude to and also unequivocally denotes the beginning of the dance suite . During the entrée , the dancers first appear on the stage and , typically with great pageantry , acknowledge each other and position themselves near each other in preparation for the subsequent adagio . Depending on the choreography , the ballerina and danseur may enter the stage simultaneously or at different times . Adagio ( edit ) The adagio or adage ( meaning `` slowly '' ) part of a grand pas de deux features graceful and elaborate partnering by the dancing pair . In the adagio , the ballerina performs elegant , often slow and sustained movements while the danseur supports her . The danseur , in turn , strives to maintain a display of poise and seemingly effortless strength while providing support for the ballerina . The danseur may support the ballerina in a variety of common ways , including lifting her , holding and steadying her during turns , and offering a steady arm or hand for her to use as a `` virtual barre '' when she performs balancing feats that would be difficult or impossible without assistance . Because of this support the adagio is sometimes called supported adagio . Examples Penché A partnering lift Pirouettes Variations ( edit ) Upon completion of the adagio , the dancers separate and each dancer , in turn , takes center stage and performs a variation ( a solo dance ) . In general , the variations are intended to showcase spectacular , acrobatic leaps and turns , as well as the skills and athleticism of the individual dancers . The danseur 's variation is usually performed first , followed by the ballerina 's variation . Examples Coda ( edit ) The coda ( literally `` tail '' ) is the concluding segment of a grand pas de deux . Typically , it is a recapitulation of earlier segments of the grand pas de deux , consisting of elements that are characteristic of the adagio , variations , or both , and ends during a grand musical climax . History ( edit ) Elements of the grand pas de deux first appeared in the early 18th century as opening acts of operas and ballets in which a couple would perform identical dance steps , sometimes while holding hands . At that time and throughout the Baroque period , ballet partner dancing was evolving to show more dramatic content . For example , in The Loves of Mars and Venus ballet of 1717 , Mars ( the male dancer ) strove to portray gallantry , respect , ardent love and adoration , while Venus showed bashfulness , reciprocal love , and wishful looks . In the late 18th and early 19th centuries a romantic pas de deux emerged that involved closer physical contact , with ballerinas dancing on their toes in the hands of their partners . As the 19th century progressed , the form became a showcase for the skills of the increasingly sophisticated ballerina . The ballets of the late 19th Century -- particularly of those of Marius Petipa -- introduced the concept of the grand pas de deux , which often served as the climax of a scene or an entire performance . This involved a consistent format of entrée and adagio by a pair of leading male and female dancers , followed by virtuosic solos ( first by the male and then the female ) and a finale . During the 20th century , the grand pas de deux became more integrated with the story of the ballet , with increasingly acrobatic content .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Ab or Av ( ʾĀḇ ; related to Akkadian abu ) , sometimes Aba or Abba , means `` father '' in most Semitic languages . Contents ( hide ) 1 Arabic 2 Aramaic 2.1 Judaism 2.2 Christendom 3 Hebrew 4 See also 5 References Arabic ( edit ) Further information : Kunya ( Arabic ) Ab ( أَب ) , from a theoretical , abstract form ʼabawun ( triliteral ʼ - b - w ) is Arabic for `` father '' . The dual is ʼabawāni or ʼabāni `` two fathers '' or `` mother and father '' ( ʼābāʼi - ka meaning `` thy parents '' ) . Li - llāhi ʼabū - ka is an expression of praise , meaning `` to God is attributable ( the excellence of ) your father '' . As a verb , ʼ - b-w means `` to become ( as ) a father to ( somebody ) '' ( ʼabawtu ) or `` to adopt ( him ) as a father '' ( ta'abbā - hu or ista'bā - hu ) . In the construct state , Abū ( أبو ) is followed by another word to form a complete name , e.g. : Abu Mazen , another name for Mahmoud Abbas . Abu may be used as a kunya , an honorific . To refer to a man by his fatherhood ( of male offspring ) is polite , so that ʼabū takes the function of an honorific . Even a man that is as yet childless may still be known as abū of his father 's name , implying that he will yet have a son called after his father . The combination is extended beyond the literal sense : a man may be described as acting as a father in his relation to animals , e.g. , Abu Bakr , `` the father of a camel 's foal '' ; Abu Huraira , `` father of kittens '' . In some cases , a man 's enemies will refer to him in such a way to besmirch him , e.g. Abu Jahl , `` the father of ignorance '' . A man may be described as being the possessor of some quality , as Abu'l Na'ama `` father of grace '' , or `` the graceful one '' ; Abu'l Fida , `` father of devotion '' , or `` the devout one '' . An object or a place may be given a nickname , such as Abu'l hawl , `` father of terror '' , ( the Sphinx at Giza ) . Abu'l fulus , `` father of money '' , is frequently used to refer to a place where rumors have been told of a treasure being hidden there . The Swahili word Bwana , meaning `` mister '' , `` sir '' , or `` lord '' , is derived from the Arabic Abuna ( أبونا ) , `` our father '' . Aramaic ( edit ) The Aramaic term for father is אבא ( abba ) . Judaism ( edit ) The Aramaic term abba ( Hebrew : אבא , `` father '' ) appears in traditional Jewish liturgy and Jewish prayers to God , e.g. in the Kaddish ( קדיש , Qaddish Aramaic : `` holy '' ) . Pirke Avot ( Hebrew : פרקי אבות , Chapters of the Fathers ) ' are a Mishnaic tractate of Avot , the second - to - last tractate in the order of Nezikin in the Talmud . The tractate of Pirkei Avot is dealing with ethical and moral principles . Christendom ( edit ) A transliteration of the Aramaic term abba also appears three times in the Greek New Testament of The Bible . Each time the term appears in transliteration it is followed immediately by the translation ho pater in Greek , which literally means `` the father . '' In each case it is used with reference to God . Mark records that Jesus used the term when praying in Gethsemane shortly before his death , saying : `` Abba , Father , all things are possible to you ; remove this cup from me . Yet not what I want , but what you want . '' ( Mark 14 : 36 ) The two other occurrences are in Paul 's letters , at Romans 8 : 15 and Galatians 4 : 6 . It seems evident from these texts that , in apostolic times , the Christians made use of the term ' Abba in their prayers to God . In Evangelical Christian teachings , Abba is sometimes translated as `` daddy '' , suggesting that it is a childlike , intimate term for one 's father . This has been rejected by most scholars because abba , unlike `` daddy '' , is used by adult children as well as young children . In the time of Jesus , it was neither markedly a term of endearment nor a formal word , but the word normally used by sons and daughters , throughout their lives , in the family context . Indeed , the usage of abba in Galatians 3 : 22 - 4 : 7 suggests that abba `` asserts not childlike relation to God , but the privileged status of the adult son ( not daughter ) and heir '' . The name Barabbas in the New Testament comes from the Aramaic phrase Bar Abba meaning `` son of the father '' . Hebrew ( edit ) For a month on the Hebrew calendar , see Av . Av ( Hebrew : אָב , Standard Av Tiberian ʾĀḇ Aramaic אבא Abba ; related to Akkadian abu ; `` father '' ; plural : Hebrew : אבות Avot or Abot ) means `` father '' in Hebrew . The exact meaning of the element ab ( אב ) or abi ( אבי ) in Hebrew personal names ( such as Ab - ram , Ab - i - ram , Ah - ab , Jo - ab ) is a matter of dispute . The identity of the - i - with the first person pronominal suffix ( as in Adona - i ) , changing `` father '' to `` my father '' , is uncertain ; it might also be simply a connecting vowel . The compound may either express a nominal phrase ( Av ( i ) ram = `` ( my ) father is exalted '' ) or simply an apposition . In the case of an apposition the second word would require a definite article ( Av ( i ) hasafa = `` father of the language '' , Ha = the ) . The word generally used today for father in Hebrew is abba .

Two fungiform papillæ are shown . On some of the filiform papillæ the epithelial prolongations stand erect in one they are spread out , and in three they are folded in . Details Identifiers Latin caliculus gustatererius MeSH A03. 556.500. 885.779 Code TH H3. 04.01. 0.02116 TH H3. 04.01. 0.03013 TA A15. 4.00. 002 TH H3. 04.01. 0.02116 , H3. 04.01. 0.03013 FMA 54825 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) Taste buds contain the taste receptor cells , which are also known as gustatory cells . The taste receptors are located around the small structures known as papillae found on the upper surface of the tongue , soft palate , upper esophagus , the cheek and epiglottis . These structures are involved in detecting the five elements of taste perception : salty , sour , bitter , sweet and umami ; through the combination of these elements we detect `` flavors . '' A popular myth assigns these different tastes to different regions of the tongue ; in reality these tastes can be detected by any area of the tongue . Via small openings in the tongue epithelium , called taste pores , parts of the food dissolved in saliva come into contact with the taste receptors . These are located on top of the taste receptor cells that constitute the taste buds . The taste receptor cells send information detected by clusters of various receptors and ion channels to the gustatory areas of the brain via the seventh , ninth and tenth cranial nerves . On average , the human tongue has 2,000 -- 8,000 taste buds . Contents ( hide ) 1 Types of papillae 2 See also 3 References 4 External links Types of papillae ( edit ) The taste buds on the tongue sit on raised protrusions of the tongue surface called papillae . There are three types of lingual papillae that contain taste buds present on the human tongue : Fungiform papillae - as the name suggests , these are slightly mushroom - shaped if looked at in longitudinal section . These are present mostly at the dorsal surface of the tongue , as well as at the sides . Innervated by facial nerve . Foliate papillae - these are ridges and grooves towards the posterior part of the tongue found at the lateral borders . Innervated by facial nerve ( anterior papillae ) and glossopharyngeal nerve ( posterior papillae ) . Circumvallate papillae - there are only about 10 to 14 of these papillae on most people , and they are present at the back of the oral part of the tongue . They are arranged in a circular - shaped row just in front of the sulcus terminalis of the tongue . They are associated with ducts of Von Ebner 's glands , and are innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve . The fourth type of papillae the filiform papillae are the most numerous but do not contain taste buds . They are characterized by increased keratinisation and are involved in the mechanical aspect of providing abrasion . Salt , sweet , sour and umami tastes causes depolarization of the taste cells , although different mechanisms are applied . Bitter causes an internal release of Ca , no external Ca is required . The bud is formed by two kinds of cells : supporting cells and gustatory cells . The supporting ( sustentacular cells ) are mostly arranged like the staves of a cask , and form an outer envelope for the bud . Some , however , are found in the interior of the bud between the gustatory cells . The gustatory ( taste ) cells , a chemoreceptor , occupy the central portion of the bud ; they are spindle - shaped , and each possesses a large spherical nucleus near the middle of the cell . The peripheral end of the cell terminates at the gustatory pore in a fine hair filament , the gustatory hair . The central process passes toward the deep extremity of the bud , and there ends in single or bifurcated varicosities . The nerve fibrils after losing their medullary sheaths enter the taste bud , and end in fine extremities between the gustatory cells ; other nerve fibrils ramify between the supporting cells and terminate in fine extremities ; these , however , are believed to be nerves of ordinary sensation and not gustatory . The average life of a taste bud is 10 days . See also ( edit ) Tongue map References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Shier , David ( 2016 ) . Hole 's Human Anatomy and Physiology .

China - United States relations China United States Diplomatic Mission Chinese Embassy , Washington , D.C. United States Embassy , Beijing Envoy Ambassador Cui Tiankai Ambassador Terry Branstad Embassy of the United States in China Embassy of China in the United States United States - China relations , more often known as U.S. -- Chinese relations , Chinese -- U.S. relations , or Sino - American relations , refer to international relations between the United States of America and the People 's Republic of China ( PRC ) . The partnership between China and the United States , in which each nation regards the other as a potential adversary as well as an economic partner , has been described by world leaders and academics as the world 's most important bilateral relationship of the century . As of 2017 , the United States has the world 's largest economy and China the second largest , although China has a larger GDP when measured by PPP . Though the US has the most in terms of national wealth . Relations between the two countries have generally been stable with some periods of open conflict , most notably during the Korean War and the Vietnam War . Currently , China and the United States have mutual political , economic , and security interests , including but not limited to the proliferation of nuclear weapons , although there are unresolved concerns relating to the role of democracy in government in China and human rights in both respective countries . China is the largest foreign creditor of the United States . The two countries remain in dispute over territorial issues in the South China Sea . The election and ascension of current U.S. President Donald Trump has considerably strained U.S. - China relations with multiple news outlets anticipating potential trade or military conflict between the United States and China . This is largely due to comments made during his presidential campaign citing Chinese currency manipulation and outsourcing of American trade to China . Public opinion of the other country tends to fluctuate around 40 to 50 percent favorability . As of 2015 , China 's public opinion of the U.S. is at 44 % , while the United States ' public opinion of China is somewhat lower at 38 % . The highest recorded favorable opinion of the United States was at 58 % ( 2010 ) and the lowest at 38 % ( 2007 ) . Conversely , the highest recorded favorable opinion of China was at 52 % ( 2006 ) and the lowest at 35 % ( 2014 ) . As of April 2017 , ongoing maritime disputes in the South China Sea have strained relations between the two . America has conducted freedom of navigation patrols in the region to underscore the US ' position that the artificial islands constructed by China are located in international waters .

From 1784 consuls were sent to Guangzhou , the treaty port open to traders from the United States . Old China trade ( edit ) An example of a Chinese - made lap desk from the early 1800s . Lap desks such as these were especially popular among American merchants , who used them to write letters or conduct business during their lengthy voyages at sea . Main articles : Old China Trade , Canton System , Maritime fur trade , Levant Company , and History of opium in China Coins , ginseng , and furs , and more prominently tea , cotton , silk , lacquerware , porcelain , and furniture were once traded as commodities between the two countries . Opium wars ( edit ) Main articles : First Opium War and Second Opium War After the Treaty of Nanking at the end of the First Opium War in 1842 , many Chinese ports were forced to open to foreign trade , which threatened American trade in the region . President John Tyler , however , secured the 1844 Treaty of Wanghia , which gave Americans the right of extraterritoriality , and placed American trade on par with British trade . This treaty effectively ended the era of the Old China Trade , giving to the rise of the United States as an emergent power . During the Second Opium War , American and Qing forces briefly clashed at the Battle of the Barrier Forts , the first instance of military engagement between the United States and China . After China 's defeat in the Second Opium War , the then emperor of China , Xianfeng , fled Beijing . His brother Yixin , the Prince Gong , ratified the Treaty of Tientsin in the Convention of Peking on October 18 , 1860 . This treaty stipulated , among other terms , that along with Britain , France , and Russia , the United States would have the right to station administrative offices in Beijing , which was closed prior to the war . Taiwan ( edit ) Some Americans advocated for the annexation of Taiwan from China . Aboriginals on Taiwan often attacked and massacred shipwrecked western sailors . In 1867 , during the Rover incident , Taiwanese aborigines attacked shipwrecked American sailors , killing the entire crew . They subsequently skirmished against and defeated a retaliatory expedition by the American military and killed another American during the battle . The Burlingame Treaty and the Chinese Exclusion Act ( edit ) Main articles : Burlingame Treaty and Chinese Exclusion Act The first page of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 In 1868 , the Qing government appointed Anson Burlingame as their emissary to the United States . Burlingame toured the country to build support for equitable treatment for China and for Chinese emigrants . The 1868 Burlingame Treaty embodied these principles . In 1871 , the Chinese Educational Mission brought the first of two groups of 120 Chinese boys to study in the United States . They were led by Yung Wing , the first Chinese man to graduate from an American university . During the California Gold Rush and the construction of the transcontinental railroad , large numbers of Chinese emigrated to the U.S. , spurring animosity from American citizens . After being forcibly driven from the mines , most Chinese settled in Chinatowns in cities such as San Francisco , taking up low - end wage labor , such as restaurant and cleaning work . With the post-Civil War economy in decline by the 1870s , anti-Chinese animosity became politicized by labor leader Denis Kearney and his party , as well as by the California governor John Bigler . Both blamed Chinese coolies for depressed wage levels . In the first significant restriction on free immigration in U.S. history , Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act on May 6 , 1882 , following revisions made in 1880 to the Burlingame Treaty . Those revisions allowed the United States to suspend immigration , and Congress acted quickly to implement the suspension of Chinese immigration and exclude Chinese skilled and unskilled laborers from entering the country for ten years , under penalty of imprisonment and deportation . The ban was renewed a number of times , lasting for over 60 years . Searching for the China market ( edit ) The American China Development Company , founded in 1895 by J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie , sought to provide the American capital and management that would generate a rapid industrialization of China . It started building the Hankow - Canton Railroad , to link central and southern China . It only managed to finish 30 miles of line . Americans soon grew disillusioned , and sold out to a rival Belgian syndicate . On the whole , the American dream of getting rich by investing in China or selling to hundreds of millions of Chinese was almost always a failure . Standard Oil did succeed in selling kerosene to the China market , but few others made a profit . The Boxer Rebellion ( edit ) Main article : Boxer Rebellion US troops in China during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 . In 1899 , a movement of Chinese nationalists calling themselves the Society of Right and Harmonious Fists started a violent revolt in China , referred to by Westerners as the Boxer Rebellion , against foreign influence in trade , politics , religion , and technology . The campaigns took place from November 1899 to September 7 , 1901 , during the final years of Manchu rule in China under the Qing dynasty . The uprising began as an anti-foreign , anti-imperialist , peasant - based movement in northern China , in response to foreign westerners seizing land from locals , concession grabbing , and granting immunity to criminals who converted to Catholicism . The insurgents attacked foreigners , who were building railroads and violating Feng shui , and Christians , who were held responsible for the foreign domination of China . In June 1900 , the Boxers entered Peking , and ransacked the area around the Foreign Legations . On June 21 , in response to the Western attack on the Chinese Dagu Forts Empress Dowager Cixi declared war against all Western powers . Diplomats , foreign civilians , soldiers , and Chinese Christians were besieged during the Siege of the International Legations for 55 days . A coalition called the Eight - Nation Alliance comprising Austria - Hungary , France , Germany , Italy , Japan , Russia , Britain and the United States rushed 20,000 troops to their rescue . The multinational forces were initially defeated by a Chinese Muslim army at the Battle of Langfang , but the second attempt in the Gaselee Expedition was successful due to internal rivalries among the Chinese forces . The Chinese government was forced to indemnify the victims and make many additional concessions . Subsequent reforms implemented after the rebellion contributed to the end of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the modern Chinese Republic . The United States played a secondary but significant role in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion , largely due to the presence of US ships and troops deployed in the Philippines since the American conquest of the Spanish -- American and Philippine -- American War . Within the United States Armed Forces , the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion was known as the China Relief Expedition . The Chinese paid indemnities to each of the powers . The U.S. used its $11 million share to promote cultural and educational exchanges and help China modernize . A number of schools were established in China , such as Tsinghua College in Peking . Open Door policy ( edit ) Main article : Open Door Policy `` Putting his foot down '' Uncle Sam in 1899 demands Open Door while major powers plan to cut up China for themselves ; Germany , Italy , England , Austria , Russia & France are represented by Wilhelm II , Umberto I , John Bull , Franz Joseph I ( in rear ) Uncle Sam , Nicholas II , and Emile Loubet . Punch Aug 23 , 1899 by J.S. Pughe In the 1890s the major world powers ( France , the Britain , Germany , Japan , and Russia ) began carving out spheres of influence for themselves in China , which was then under the Qing dynasty . The United States demanded this practice to end so that all nations could trade on an equal footing . In 1899 , U.S. Secretary of State John Hay sent diplomatic letters to these nations , asking them to guarantee the territorial and administrative integrity of China and to not interfere with the free use of treaty ports within their respective spheres of influence . The major powers evaded commitment , saying they could not agree to anything until the other powers had consented first . Hay took this as acceptance of his proposal , which came to be known as the Open Door Policy . While respected internationally , the Open Door Policy was ignored by Russia and Japan when they encroached in Manchuria . The U.S. protested Russia 's actions . Japan and Russia fought the Russo - Japanese War in 1904 , in which the U.S. mediated a peace . Japan also presented a further challenge to the policy with its Twenty - One Demands in 1915 made on the then - Republic of China . Japan also made secret treaties with the Allies promising Japan the German territories in China . In 1931 , Japan invaded and occupied Manchuria . The United States along with other countries condemned the action , leading to U.S. support for China in its war with Japan after 1937 . Residence of China 's envoy Wu Tingfang The Republic of China and the United States ( edit ) First few decades ( edit ) After the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 , the United States government recognized the Republic of China ( ROC ) government as the sole and legitimate government of China despite a number of governments ruling various parts of China . China was reunified by a single government , ROC , led by the Kuomintang ( KMT ) in 1928 . The first winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature for writing about China was an American , born in the United States but raised in China , Pearl S. Buck , whose 1938 Nobel lecture was titled The Chinese Novel . World War II ( edit ) Chiang Kai - shek , Franklin D. Roosevelt , and Winston Churchill at the Cairo Conference in 1943 . The outbreak of the Second Sino - Japanese War in 1937 saw aid flow into the Republic of China , from the United States under President Franklin D. Roosevelt . A series of Neutrality Acts had been passed in the US with the support of isolationists who forbade American aid to countries at war . Because the Second Sino - Japanese War was undeclared , however , Roosevelt denied that a state of war existed in China and proceeded to send aid to Chiang . American public sympathy for the Chinese was aroused by reports from missionaries , novelists such as Pearl S. Buck , and Time Magazine of Japanese brutality in China , including reports surrounding the Nanking Massacre , also known as the ' Rape of Nanking ' . Japanese - American relations were further soured by the USS Panay incident during the bombing of Nanjing , in which a gunboat of the US Navy was accidentally sunk by Japanese aircraft . Roosevelt demanded an apology and compensation from the Japanese , which was received , but relations between the two countries continued to deteriorate . American public opinion overwhelmingly favored China and denounced Japan . The United States formally declared war on Japan in December 1941 following the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor . The Roosevelt administration gave massive amounts of aid to Chiang 's beleaguered government , now headquartered in Chungking . Madame Chiang Kai - shek , who had been educated in the United States , addressed the US Congress and toured the country to rally support for China . Congress amended the Chinese Exclusion Act and Roosevelt moved to end the unequal treaties by establishing the Treaty for Relinquishment of Extraterritorial Rights in China . However , the perception that Chiang 's government was unable to effectively resist the Japanese or that he preferred to focus more on defeating the Communists grew . China Hands such as Joseph `` Vinegar Joe '' Stilwell -- who spoke fluent Mandarin Chinese -- argued that it was in American interest to establish communication with the Communists to prepare for a land - based counteroffensive invasion of Japan . The Dixie Mission , which began in 1943 , was the first official American contact with the Communists . Other Americans , such as Claire Lee Chennault , argued for air power and supported Chiang 's position . In 1944 , successfully demanded that Stilwell be recalled . General Albert Coady Wedemeyer replaced Stilwell , and Patrick J. Hurley became ambassador . Civil War in mainland China ( edit ) After World War II ended in 1945 , the hostility between the Republic of China and the Communist Party of China exploded into open civil war . The KMT lost effective control of mainland China in the Chinese Civil War in 1949 . In the China White Paper in August 1949 drafted by the US State Department that the United States was announcing the hands - off policy to the ROC in Taiwan to the upcoming military attacks from the People 's Liberation Army . Chinese Military forces under Chiang Kai - shek went to the island of Taiwan to accept the surrender of Japanese troops , thus beginning the military occupation of Taiwan . American general George Marshall spent most of the years 1946 in China trying to broker a truce between the Republic of China and the Communist Party of China in 1946 , but he failed . In February 1948 , Marshall , now the Secretary of State , testified to Congress in secret session that he had realized from the start that the Nationalists could never defeat the Communists in the field , so some sort of negotiated settlement was necessary or else the United States would have to fight the war . He warned : any large - scale United States effort to assist the Chinese Government to oppose the Communists would most probably degenerate into a direct U.S. undertaking and responsibility , involving the commitment of sizable forces and resources over an indefinite period . Such a dissipation of U.S. resources would inevitably play into the hands of the Russians , or would provoke a reaction which would possibly , even probably , we to another Spanish type of revolution or general hostilities ... the cost of an all - out effort to see Communist forces resisted and destroyed in China ... would clearly be out of all proportion to the results to be obtained . The Kuomintang ( Nationalist ) cause declined until 1949 , when the Communists emerged victorious and drove the Nationalists from the Chinese mainland onto Taiwan and other islands . Mao Zedong established the People 's Republic of China in mainland China , while Taiwan and other islands are still retained under the Republic of China rule to this day . Cold War relations ( edit ) After the Korean War broke out , the Truman administration resumed economic and military aid to the ROC and neutralized Taiwan Strait by United States Seventh Fleet to stop a Communist invasion of Formosa . Until the US formally recognized China in 1979 , Washington provided ROC with financial grants based on the Foreign Assistance Act , Mutual Security Act and Act for International Development enacted by the US Congress . A separate Sino - American Mutual Defense Treaty was signed between the two governments of US and ROC in 1954 and lasted until 1979 . Eisenhower , Soong Mei - ling , and Chinese president Chiang Kai - shek in Taiwan . 1960 . With President Chiang Kai - shek , the U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower waved hands to crowds during his visit to Taipei , Taiwan in June 1960 . The U.S. State Department 's official position in 1959 was : That the provisional capital of the Republic of China has been at Taipei , Taiwan ( Formosa ) since December 1949 ; that the Government of the Republic of China exercises authority over the island ; that the sovereignty of Formosa has not been transferred to China ; and that Formosa is not a part of China as a country , at least not as yet , and not until and unless appropriate treaties are hereafter entered into . Formosa may be said to be a territory or an area occupied and administered by the Government of the Republic of China , but is not officially recognized as being a part of the Republic of China . '' Termination of diplomatic relations ( edit ) See also : Taiwan -- United States relations On January 1 , 1979 , the United States changed its diplomatic recognition of China from Taipei to Beijing . In the U.S. - PRC Three Communiqués that announced the change , the United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China . Since then , the ROC has often been referred to as ' Taiwan ' to avoid confusion . Meanwhile , the U.S. negotiated with Taiwan on what the change meant . Trade continued and the U.S. provided military security . The People 's Republic of China and the United States ( edit ) Origins of the People 's Republic of China ( edit ) The United States did not formally recognize the People 's Republic of China ( PRC ) for 30 years after its founding . Instead , the US maintained diplomatic relations with the Republic of China government on Taiwan , recognizing it as the sole legitimate government of China . However , the Taiwan - based Republic of China government did not trust the United States . An enemy of the Chiang family , K.C. Wu , was removed from his position as governor of Taiwan by Chiang Ching - kuo and fled to America in 1953 . Chiang Kai - shek , president of the Republic of China , suspected that the American CIA was engineering a coup with Sun Li - jen , an American - educated Chinese man who attended the Virginia Military Institute , with the goal of making Taiwan an independent state . Chiang placed Sun under house arrest in 1955 . Chiang Ching - kuo , educated in the Soviet Union , initiated Soviet - style military organization in the Republic of China military , reorganizing and Sovietizing the political officer corps and surveillance . Kuomintang party activities were propagated throughout the military . Sun Li - jen opposed this action . As the People 's Liberation Army moved south to complete the conquest of mainland China in 1949 , the American embassy followed Chiang Kai - shek 's Republic of China government to Taipei , while US consular officials remained in mainland China . However , the People 's Republic of China was hostile to the American presence , and all US personnel were withdrawn from the mainland in early 1950 . In December 1950 , the People 's Republic seized all American assets and properties , totaling $196.8 million , after the US had frozen Chinese assets in America following the PRC 's entry into the Korean War in November . Korean War ( edit ) Main article : Korean War Truman administration announced on January 5 , 1950 , that the United States would not become involved in any dispute about Taiwan Strait , and that he would not intervene in the event of an attack by the PRC , but these plans were quickly undone when the Korean War began on 25 June with the invasion of the US - backed Republic of Korea by the communist Democratic People 's Republic of Korea . A US - led international coalition of troops drove the North Korean forces from the South . In response to the Soviet - backed North Korean invasion of South Korea , the United Nations Security Council was convened and passed UNSC Resolution 82 , declaring war on North Korea unanimously . The resolution was adopted mainly because the Soviet Union , a veto - wielding power , had been boycotting UN proceedings since January , in protest that the Republic of China and not the People 's Republic of China held a permanent seat on the council . The American - led allied forces pushed the invading Korean People 's Army back into North Korea , past the North - South border at the 38th parallel and began to approach the Yalu River on the China - North Korea border . Chinese warnings for the UN forces to not venture too close to their border were ignored , and in November , a massive Chinese counterattack was launched . The Chinese army struck in the west along the Chongchon River and completely overran several South Korean divisions , successfully landing a heavy blow to the flank of the remaining forces . The defeat of the US Eighth Army resulted in the longest retreat of any American military unit in history . Both sides sustained heavy casualties before the allied forces were able to push Chinese forces back , near the original division . In late March 1951 , after the Chinese army had moved large numbers of new forces near the Korean border , US bomb loading pits at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa were made operational . On April 5 , the US Joint Chiefs of Staff released orders for immediate retaliatory attacks using nuclear weapons against Manchurian bases to prevent new Chinese troops from entering the battles or bombing attacks originating from those bases . On the same day , Truman gave his approval for transfer of nine Mark IV nuclear capsules `` to the Air Force 's Ninth Bomb Group , the designated carrier of the weapons , '' signing an order to use them against Chinese and Korean targets . Two years of continued fighting ended in a stalemate , until the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed on July 27 , 1953 . Since then , a divided Korea has become an important factor in US - China relations . Also , the entry of China in the Korean War caused a major change in US policy from minimal support of the Nationalist government in Taiwan to Taiwan as protected by the United States . Vietnam War ( edit ) Main article : Vietnam War China 's involvement in the Vietnam War began in 1949 , when China was reunified under Communist rule . The People 's Republic of China provided resources and training to Communists in Vietnam , and in the summer of 1962 , Chairman Mao Zedong agreed to supply Hanoi with 90,000 rifles and guns free of charge . After the launch of the America 's Operation `` Rolling Thunder '' , China sent anti-aircraft units and engineering battalions to North Vietnam to repair the damage caused by American bombing , rebuild roads and railroads , and perform other engineering work , freeing the North Vietnamese army units for combat in the South . The United States lost 58,159 troops in the Vietnam War . The Chinese presence in North Vietnam was well - known to US officials , and can explain a number of factors surrounding American strategy in the conflict . In particular , President Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara ruled out the possibility of a ground invasion of North Vietnam early on , for fear of repeating the Korean War but with a now nuclear - armed China . However , it is unclear exactly what Beijing 's reaction to a US invasion of North Vietnam would have been -- Mao Zedong reportedly told journalist Edgar Snow in 1965 that China had no intention of fighting to save the Hanoi regime and would not engage the US military unless it crossed into Chinese territory . On other occasions , Mao expressed confidence that the People 's Liberation Army could take on the US again , much like it did in Korea . Whatever Chinese plans might have been , the Johnson Administration was unwilling to tempt fate and so ground troops never crossed into North Vietnam . Relations frozen ( edit ) The United States continued to work to prevent the PRC from taking China 's seat in the United Nations and encouraged its allies not to deal with the PRC . The United States placed an embargo on trading with the PRC , and encouraged allies to follow it . The PRC developed nuclear weapons in 1964 and , as later declassified documents revealed , President Lyndon B. Johnson considered preemptive attacks to halt its nuclear program . He ultimately decided the measure carried too much risk and it was abandoned . For most of the 22 years between 1949 and 1971 , Sino - US relations were uniformly hostile , with Mao Zedong frequently referring to the United States as `` the most dangerous imperialist power '' , and the U.S. frequently attacked by Chinese propaganda . President Kennedy believed that US policy towards China was `` nonsensical '' , and he considered reestablishing diplomatic ties in his second term . However , Kennedy 's assassination in late 1963 , followed by the Vietnam War and Cultural Revolution , ended any possibility of normalized relations with Beijing for years . Despite this official non-recognition , the United States and the People 's Republic of China held 136 meetings at the ambassadorial level beginning in 1954 and continuing until 1970 , first in Geneva and in 1958 -- 1970 in Warsaw . The Cultural Revolution brought about near - complete isolation of China from the outside world and vocal denunciations of both U.S. imperialism and Soviet revisionism . Beginning in 1967 , the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission established the China Claims Program , in which American citizens could denominate the sum total of their lost assets and property following the Communist seizure of foreign property in 1950 . American companies were reluctant to invest in China despite ( future Chairman ) Deng Xiaoping 's reassurances of a stable business environment . Rapprochement ( edit ) The end of the 1960s brought a period of transformation . For China , when American president Johnson decided to wind down the Vietnam war in 1968 , it gave China an impression that the US had no interest of expanding in Asia anymore while the USSR became a more serious threat as it intervened in Czechoslovakia to displace a communist government and might well interfere in China . This became an especially important concern for the People 's Republic of China after the Sino - Soviet border conflict of 1969 . The PRC was diplomatically isolated and the leadership came to believe that improved relations with the United States would be a useful counterbalance to the Soviet threat . Zhou Enlai , the Premier of China , was at the forefront of this effort with the committed backing of Chairman Mao Zedong . In 1969 , the United States initiated measures to relax trade restrictions and other impediments to bilateral contact , to which China responded . However , this rapprochement process was stalled by the Vietnam War where China was supporting the enemies of the United States . Communication between Chinese and American leaders , however , was conducted with Pakistan and Poland as intermediaries . Henry Kissinger , shown here with Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong , made two secret trips to the PRC in 1971 before Nixon 's groundbreaking visit in 1972 . In the United States , academics such as John K. Fairbank and A. Doak Barnett pointed to the need to deal realistically with the Beijing government , while organizations such as the National Committee on United States -- China Relations sponsored debates to promote public awareness . Many saw the specter of Communist China behind communist movements in Vietnam , Cambodia , and Laos , but a growing number concluded that if the PRC would align with the US it would mean a major redistribution of global power against the Soviets . Mainland China 's market of nearly one billion consumers appealed to American business . Senator J. William Fulbright , Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee , held a series of hearings on the matter . Richard M. Nixon mentioned in his inaugural address that the two countries were entering an era of negotiation after an era of confrontation . Although Nixon during his 1960 presidential campaign had vociferously supported Chiang Kai - Shek , by the second half of the decade , he increasingly began to speak of there `` being no reason to leave China angry and isolated '' . Nixon 's election as president in 1968 was initially met with hostility by Beijing -- an editorial in the People 's Daily denounced him as `` a chieftain whom the capitalist world had turned to out of desperation '' . Nixon believed it was in the American national interest to forge a relationship with China , even though there were enormous differences between the two countries . He was assisted in this by his National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger . Domestic politics also entered into Nixon 's thinking , as the boost from a successful courting of the PRC could help him in the 1972 American presidential election . He also worried that one of the Democrats would preempt him and go to the PRC before he had the opportunity . In 1971 , an unexpectedly friendly encounter between the American and Chinese ping - pong athletes in Japan opened the way for a visit to China , which Chairman Mao personally approved . In April 1971 , the athletes became the first Americans to officially visit China since the communist takeover . The smooth acceptance of this so - called `` ping - pong diplomacy '' gave confidence to both sides . In July 1971 , Henry Kissinger feigned illness while on a trip to Pakistan and did not appear in public for a day . He was actually on a top - secret mission to Beijing to negotiate with Zhou Enlai . Kissinger and his aides did not receive a warm welcome in Beijing , and the hotel they stayed in was equipped with pamphlets excoriating US imperialism . However , the meeting with Zhou Enlai was productive , and the Chinese premier expressed his hope for improved Sino - US relations . He commented that the US had intentionally isolated China , not vice-versa , and any initiative to restore diplomatic ties had to come from the American side . Zhou spoke of the late President Kennedy 's plans to restore relations with China and told Kissinger `` We are willing to wait as long as we need to . If these negotiations fail , in time another Kennedy or another Nixon will come along . '' On July 15 , 1971 , President Richard Nixon revealed the mission to the world and that he had accepted an invitation to visit the PRC . This announcement caused immediate shock around the world . In the United States , some hard - line anti-communists ( most notably Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater ) denounced the decision , but most public opinion supported the move and Nixon saw the jump in the polls he had been hoping for . Since Nixon had sterling anti-communist credentials he was all but immune to being called `` soft on communism . '' Nixon and his aides wanted to ensure that press coverage offered dramatic imagery . Nixon was particularly eager for strong news coverage . President Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon walk with the American delegation and their Chinese hosts on the Great Wall of China . President Nixon and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai toast during Nixon 's 1972 visit to China Within the PRC there was also opposition from left - wing elements . This effort was allegedly led by Lin Biao , head of the military , who died in a mysterious plane crash over Mongolia while trying to defect to the Soviet Union . His death silenced most internal dissent over the visit . Internationally , reactions varied . In the communist world , the Soviets were very concerned that two major enemies seemed to have resolved their differences , and the new world alignment contributed significantly to the policy of détente . Romania 's president Nicolai Ceausescu praised the US initiative as a `` move for world peace '' . Several communist regimes , including Cuba , Albania , and North Vietnam , accused China of `` capitulationism to the imperialists '' . North Korea proclaimed that it was the reverse and that the US had been forced to capitulate to China , having failed to isolate it . America 's European allies and Canada were pleased by the initiative , especially since many of them had already recognized the PRC . In Asia , the reaction was far more mixed . Japan was annoyed that it had not been told of the announcement until fifteen minutes before it had been made , and feared that the Americans were abandoning them in favor of the PRC . A short time later , Japan also recognized the PRC and committed to substantial trade with the continental power . South Korea and South Vietnam were both concerned that peace between the United States and the PRC could mean an end to American support for them against their communist enemies . Throughout the period of rapprochement , both countries had to be regularly assured that they would not be abandoned . From February 21 to February 28 , 1972 , President Nixon traveled to Beijing , Hangzhou , and Shanghai . At the conclusion of his trip , the US and the PRC issued the Shanghai Communiqué , a statement of their respective foreign policy views . In the Communiqué , both nations pledged to work toward the full normalization of diplomatic relations . This did not lead to immediate recognition of the People 's Republic of China but ' liaison offices ' were established in Beijing and Washington . The US acknowledged the PRC position that all Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait maintain that there is only one China and that Taiwan is part of China . The statement enabled the US and PRC to temporarily set aside the issue of Taiwan and open trade and communication . Also , the US and China both agreed to take action against ' any country ' that is to establish ' hegemony ' in the Asia - Pacific . On several issues , such as the ongoing conflicts in Korea , Vietnam , and Israel , the US and China were unable to reach a common understanding . Most major anti-US propaganda disappeared in China after the Nixon visit ; although there was still occasional criticism of US imperialism , the Soviet Union had definitively become China 's arch - foe in the 1970s . The rapprochement with the United States benefited the PRC immensely and greatly increased its security for the rest of the Cold War . It has been argued that the United States , on the other hand , saw fewer benefits than it had hoped for , inasmuch as China continued to back America 's enemies in Hanoi and Pyongyang . Eventually , however , the PRC 's suspicion of Vietnam 's motives led to a break in Sino - Vietnamese cooperation and , upon the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in 1979 , the Sino - Vietnamese War . Both China and the United States backed combatants in Africa against Soviet and Cuban - supported movements . The economic benefits of normalization were slow as it would take decades for American products to penetrate the vast Chinese market . While Nixon 's China policy is regarded by many as the highlight of his presidency , others such as William Bundy have argued that it provided very little benefit to the United States . Liaison office ( 1973 -- 1978 ) ( edit ) President Gerald Ford makes remarks at a Reciprocal Dinner in Beijing on December 4 , 1975 . In May 1973 , in an effort to build toward formal diplomatic relations , the US and the PRC established the United States Liaison Office ( USLO ) in Beijing and a counterpart PRC office in Washington . In 1973 to 1978 , such distinguished Americans as David K.E. Bruce , George H.W. Bush , Thomas S. Gates , Jr. , and Leonard Woodcock served as chiefs of the USLO with the personal rank of ambassador . China made clear that it considered the Soviet Union its chief adversary , and urged the United States to be powerful , thereby distracting Moscow . Liaison officer George Bush concluded , `` China keeps wanting us to be strong , wanting us to defend Europe , wanting us to increase our defense budgets , etc . '' Bush concluded that American engagement was essential to support markets , allies , and stability in Asia and around the world . President Gerald Ford visited the PRC in 1975 and reaffirmed American interest in normalizing relations with Beijing . Shortly after taking office in 1977 , President Jimmy Carter again reaffirmed the goals of the Shanghai Communiqué . Secretary of State Cyrus Vance , Carter 's National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski , and senior staff member of the National Security Council Michel Oksenberg encouraged Carter to seek full diplomatic and trade relations with China . Although Brzezinksi sought to quickly establish a security relationship with Beijing to counter the Soviet Union , Carter sided with Vance in believing that such a deal would threaten existing U.S. - Soviet relations , including the SALT II negotiations . Thus , the administration decided to cautiously pursue political normalization and not military relations . Vance , Brzezinski , and Oksenberg traveled to Beijing in early 1978 to work with Leonard Woodcock , then head of the liaison office , to lay the groundwork to do so . The United States and the People 's Republic of China announced on December 15 , 1978 that the two governments would establish diplomatic relations on January 1 , 1979 . Normalization ( edit ) Jimmy Carter , Zbigniew Brzezinski , and other U.S. officials meet in the White House Cabinet Room with Deng Xiaoping , 29 January 1979 In the Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations , dated January 1 , 1979 , the United States transferred diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing . The US reiterated the Shanghai Communiqué 's acknowledgment of the Chinese position that there is only one China and that Taiwan is a part of China ; Beijing acknowledged that the American people would continue to carry on commercial , cultural , and other unofficial contacts with the people of Taiwan . Much like the Nixon visit to Beijing six years earlier , the formal establishment of Sino - US ties met with a mixed response from many countries . Taiwan , although fully expecting this step , nonetheless expressed disappointment at having not been consulted first . The reaction of the communist world was similar to 1972 , with the Soviet Union and its allies in Eastern Europe mostly being noncommittal , Romania welcoming the move , and Cuba and Albania being strongly against it . North Korea issued a statement congratulating `` our brotherly neighbors for ending long - hostile relations with the US '' . Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping 's January 1979 visit to Washington initiated a series of important , high - level exchanges which continued until the spring of 1989 . This resulted in many bilateral agreements , especially in the fields of scientific , technological , and cultural interchange , as well as trade relations . Since early 1979 , the United States and the PRC have initiated hundreds of joint research projects and cooperative programs under the Agreement on Cooperation in Science and Technology , the largest bilateral program . On March 1 , 1979 , the two countries formally established embassies in each other 's capitals . In 1979 , outstanding private claims were resolved and a bilateral trade agreement was completed . Vice President Walter Mondale reciprocated Vice Premier Deng 's visit with an August 1979 trip to China . This visit led to agreements in September 1980 on maritime affairs , civil aviation links , and textile matters , as well as a bilateral consular convention . Sino - US military cooperation also began in 1979 ; American arms sales to China were initiated , and in 1981 it was revealed that a joint Sino - US listening post had been operated in Xinjiang , near the Soviet border . Chinese demands for advanced technology from the US were not always met , in part due to opposition from Congressmen who either distrusted technology transfer to a communist nation out of principle , or concern that there was no guarantee that such technology would not end up in the hands of unfriendly third parties . In 1983 , the US State Department changed its classification of China to `` a friendly , developing nation '' , thereby increasing the amount of technology and armaments that could be sold . The skepticism of some US Congressmen was not entirely unmerited as China during the 1980s continued to sell arms to Iran and other states that were openly hostile to American interests . Deng Xiaoping with US President Jimmy Carter As a consequence of high - level and working - level contacts initiated in 1980 , New York City and Beijing become sister cities , US dialogue with the PRC broadened to cover a wide range of issues , including global and regional strategic problems , political - military questions , including arms control , UN , and other multilateral organization affairs , and international narcotics matters . High - level exchanges continued to be a significant means for developing US - PRC relations in the 1980s . President Ronald Reagan and Premier Zhao Ziyang made reciprocal visits in 1984 . Reagan 's visit to Beijing went well , however a speech he made criticizing the Soviet Union and praising capitalism , democracy , and freedom of religion was not aired on Chinese state TV . In July 1985 , President Li Xiannian traveled to the United States , the first such visit by a PRC head of state . Vice President Bush visited the PRC in October 1985 and opened the US Consulate General in Chengdu , the US 's fourth consular post in the PRC . Further exchanges of cabinet - level officials occurred between 1985 and 1989 , capped by President Bush 's visit to Beijing in February 1989 . Shortly after being elected president in 1980 , Ronald Reagan made a speech criticizing the PRC and welcoming restoration of ties with Taiwan . These remarks aroused initial panic in Beijing , but Reagan 's advisers quickly apologized for his comments , and the president - elect soon retracted them . Reagan 's first two years in office saw some deterioration in Sino - US relations due to the president 's vociferous anti-communism , as well as the inability of the two nations to come to a common understanding over the Korean standoff , the Israel - Palestine conflict , or the Falkland War . In 1982 , Deng Xiaoping , in a reiteration of Mao Zedong 's `` Three Worlds '' theory , criticized both the US and Soviet Union for imperialism . In 1983 , there were quarrels over a Chinese tennis player , Hu Na , who defected to the US , and over an incident where an Olympic parade float in New York City displayed the flag of Taiwan rather than the PRC 's flag . In the period before the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 , a growing number of cultural exchange activities gave the American and Chinese peoples broad exposure to each other 's cultural , artistic , and educational achievements . Numerous mainland Chinese professional and official delegations visited the United States each month . Many of these exchanges continued after the suppression of the Tiananmen protests . Taiwan issue ( edit ) The expanding relationship that followed normalization was threatened in 1981 by PRC objections to the level of US arms sales to the Republic of China on Taiwan . Secretary of State Alexander Haig visited China in June 1981 in an effort to resolve Chinese concerns about America 's unofficial relations with Taiwan . Vice President Bush visited the PRC in May 1982 . Eight months of negotiations produced the US - PRC Joint Communiqué of August 17 , 1982 . In this third communiqué , the US stated its intention to gradually reduce the level of arms sales to the Republic of China , and the PRC described as a fundamental policy their effort to strive for a peaceful resolution to the Taiwan question . The Taiwan Relations Act made the necessary changes in US domestic law to permit such unofficial relations with Taiwan to flourish . After the announcement of the intention to establish diplomatic relations with China on 15 December 1978 , the Republic of China immediately condemned the United States , leading to rampant protests in both Taiwan and in the US . Tiananmen protests to 9 / 11 attacks ( 1989 -- 2001 ) ( edit ) Bill Clinton and Jiang Zemin holding a joint press conference at the White House , October 29 , 1997 . Following China 's violent suppression of political protests in June 1989 , the US and other governments enacted a number of measures against China 's violation of human rights . The US suspended high - level official exchanges with the PRC and weapons exports from the US to the PRC . The US also imposed a number of economic sanctions . In the summer of 1990 , at the G7 Houston summit , the West called for renewed political and economic reforms in mainland China , particularly in the field of human rights . Tiananmen event disrupted the US - China trade relationship , and US investors ' interest in mainland China dropped dramatically . Tourist traffic fell off sharply . The Bush administration denounced the repression and suspended certain trade and investment programs on June 5 and 20 , 1989 , however Congress was responsible for imposing many of these actions , and the White House itself took a far less critical attitude of Beijing , repeatedly expressing hope that the two countries could maintain normalized relations . Some sanctions were legislated while others were executive actions . Examples include : The US Trade and Development Agency ( TDA ) : new activities in mainland China were suspended from June 1989 until January 2001 , when President Bill Clinton lifted this suspension . Overseas Private Insurance Corporation ( OPIC ) : new activities have been suspended since June 1989 . Development Bank Lending / International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) Credits : the United States does not support development bank lending and will not support IMF credits to the PRC except for projects that address basic human needs . Munitions List Exports : subject to certain exceptions , no licenses may be issued for the export of any defense article on the US Munitions List . This restriction may be waived upon a presidential national interest determination . Arms Imports -- import of defense articles from the PRC was banned after the imposition of the ban on arms exports to the PRC . The import ban was subsequently waived by the Administration and reimposed on May 26 , 1994 . It covers all items on the BATFE ' Munitions Import List . During this critical period , J. Stapleton Roy , a career US Foreign Service Officer , served as ambassador to Beijing . After Tiananmen Square , Sino - US relations deteriorated sharply , falling to their worst since the 1960s , with Beijing accusing the US of `` a decades - long conspiracy to subvert Chinese socialism '' . The 2 - 1 / 2 years from 1989 to 1992 also witnessed a revival of hard - line Maoist ideologies and increased paranoia by the PRC as communist regimes collapsed in Eastern Europe . Nonetheless , China continued to seek foreign business and investment . Sino - US military ties and arms sales were abruptly terminated in 1989 and as of 2017 have never been restored . In 1996 , the PRC conducted military exercises in the Taiwan Strait in an apparent effort to intimidate the Republic of China electorate before the pending presidential elections , triggering the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis . The United States dispatched two aircraft carrier battle groups to the region . Subsequently , tensions in the Taiwan Strait diminished and relations between the US and the PRC improved , with increased high - level exchanges and progress on numerous bilateral issues , including human rights , nuclear proliferation , and trade . China 's paramount leader Jiang Zemin visited the United States in the fall of 1997 , the first state visit to the US by a PRC president since 1985 . In connection with that visit , the two sides came to a consensus on implementation of their 1985 agreement on Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation , as well as a number of other issues . President Clinton visited the PRC in June 1998 . He traveled extensively in mainland China , and had direct interaction with the Chinese people , including live speeches and a radio show which allowed the President to convey a sense of American ideals and values . President Clinton was criticized by some , however , for failing to pay adequate attention to human rights abuses in mainland China . Relations were damaged for a time by the United States bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in May 1999 , which was stated by the White House to be miscoordination between intelligence and the military , although which some Chinese believed to be deliberate . In any case , Beijing for several days was rocked by massive anti-US demonstrations . By the end of 1999 , relations began to gradually improve . In October 1999 , the two countries reached an agreement on compensation for families of those who were victims , as well as payments for damages to respective diplomatic properties in Belgrade and China . Sino - US relations in 1999 were also damaged by accusations that a Chinese - American scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory had given US nuclear secrets to Beijing . In April 2001 , a PRC J - 8 fighter jet collided with a US EP - 3 reconnaissance aircraft flying south of the PRC in what became known as the Hainan Island incident . The EP - 3 was able to make an emergency landing on PRC 's Hainan Island despite extensive damage ; the PRC aircraft crashed with the loss of its pilot , Wang Wei . The crew were detained by the PLA after destroying all classified documents pertaining to the aircraft 's operation . It was widely believed that the EP - 3 recon aircraft was conducting a spying mission on the PLA before the collision , which however took place over international waters . Following extensive negotiations resulting in the `` letter of the two sorries , '' the crew of the EP - 3 was released from imprisonment and allowed to leave the PRC eleven days later . The US aircraft was returned by Beijing three months later in pieces , after which the relationship between the US and the PRC gradually improved once more . George W. Bush 's tenure ( 2001 -- 2009 ) ( edit ) Presidents George W. Bush , and Hu Jintao with first ladies Laura Bush , and Liu Yongqing wave from the White House in April 2006 . Sino - US relations improved following the plane attacks that happened in New York City and elsewhere in the U.S. in September 2001 . Two PRC citizens died in the attacks on the World Trade Center . Chinese companies and individuals sent expressions of condolences to their American counterparts . The PRC , itself troubled by Muslim separatists in Xinjiang , offered strong public support for the War on Terror . The PRC voted in favor of UNSCR 1373 , publicly supported the coalition campaign in Afghanistan , and contributed $150 million of bilateral assistance to Afghan reconstruction following the defeat of the Taliban . Shortly after 9 / 11 , the US and PRC also commenced a counterterrorism dialogue . The third round of that dialogue was held in Beijing in February 2003 . In the United States , the terrorist attacks greatly changed the nature of discourse . It was no longer plausible to argue , as the Blue Team had earlier asserted , that the PRC was the primary security threat to the United States , and the need to focus on the Middle East and the War on Terror made the avoidance of potential distractions in East Asia a priority for the United States . There were initial fears among the PRC leadership that the war on terrorism would lead to an anti-PRC effort by the US , especially as the US began establishing bases in Central Asian countries like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan and renewed efforts against Iraq . Because of setbacks in America 's Iraq campaign , these fears have largely subsided . The application of American power in Iraq and continuing efforts by the United States to cooperate with the PRC has significantly reduced the popular anti-Americanism that had developed in the mid-1990s . The PRC and the US have also worked closely on regional issues , including those pertaining to North Korea and its nuclear weapons program . The People 's Republic of China has stressed its opposition to North Korea 's decision to withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons , its concerns over North Korea 's nuclear capabilities , and its desire for a non-nuclear Korean Peninsula . It also voted to refer North Korea 's noncompliance with its International Atomic Energy Agency obligations to the UN Security Council . Taiwan remains a volatile issue , but one that remains under control . The United States policy toward Taiwan has involved emphasizing the Four Noes and One Without . On occasion the United States has rebuked Republic of China President Chen Shui - bian for provocative pro-independence rhetoric . However , in 2005 , the PRC passed the Anti-Secession Law which stated that the PRC would be prepared to resort to `` non-peaceful means '' if Taiwan declared formal independence . Many critics of the PRC , such as the Blue Team , argue that the PRC was trying to take advantage of the US war in Iraq to assert its claims on Republic of China 's territory . In 2008 , Taiwan voters elected Ma Ying - jeou . Ma , representing the Kuomintang , campaigned on a platform that included rapprochement with mainland China . His election has significant implications for the future of cross-strait relations . China 's paramount leader Hu Jintao visited the United States in April 2006 . Clark Randt , U.S. Ambassador to China from 2001 to 2008 examined `` The State of U.S. - China Relations in a 2008 lecture at the USC U.S. - China Institute . Obama ′ S. tenure ( 2009 -- 2017 ) ( edit ) Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan , center , holds the autographed basketball given to him by President Barack Obama following their Oval Office meeting Tuesday , July 28 , 2009 , to discuss the outcomes of the first US -- China Strategic and Economic Dialogue . Looking on at left is Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo . The 2008 US presidential election centered on issues of war and economic recession , but candidates Barack Obama and John McCain also spoke extensively regarding US policy toward China . Both favored cooperation with China on major issues , but they differed with regard to trade policy . Obama expressed concern that the value of China 's currency was being deliberately set low to benefit China 's exporters . McCain argued that free trade was crucial and was having a transformative effect in China . Still , McCain noted that while China might have shared interests with the US , it did not share American values . Barack Obama 's presidency has fostered hopes for increased co-operation and heightened levels of friendship between the two nations . On November 8 , 2008 , Hu Jintao and Barack Obama shared a phone conversation in which the Chinese President congratulated Obama on his election victory . During the conversation both parties agreed that the development of US - China relations is not only in the interest of both nations , but also in the interests of the world . Other organizations within China also held positive reactions to the election of Barack Obama , particularly with his commitment to revising American climate change policy . Greenpeace published an article detailing how Obama 's victory would spell positive change for investment in the green jobs sector as part of a response to the financial crisis gripping the world at the time of Obama 's inauguration . A number of organizations , including the US Departments of Energy and Commerce , NGOs such as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Brookings Institution , and universities , have been working with Chinese counterparts to discuss ways to address climate change . Both US and Chinese governments have addressed the economic downturn with massive stimulus initiatives . The Chinese have expressed concern that `` Buy American '' components of the US plan discriminate against foreign producers , including those in China . As the two most influential and powerful countries in the world , there have been increasingly strong suggestions within American political circles of creating a G - 2 ( Chimerica ) relationship for the United States and China to work out solutions to global problems together . Obama meets with Wen Jiabao and members of the Chinese delegation after a bilateral meeting at the United Nations in New York City . The Strategic Economic Dialogue initiated by then - US President Bush and Chinese President Hu and led by US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi in 2006 has been broadened by the Obama administration . Now called the U.S. -- China Strategic and Economic Dialogue , it is led by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and US Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner for the United States and Vice Premier Wang Qishan and Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo for China . The focus of the first set of meetings in July 2009 was in response to the economic crisis , finding ways to cooperate to stem global warming and addressing issues such as the proliferation of nuclear weapons and humanitarian crises . US President Barack Obama visited China on November 15 -- 18 , 2009 to discuss economic worries , concerns over nuclear weapon proliferation , and the need for action against climate change . The USC US - China Institute produced a digest of press comments on this visit and on earlier presidential trips . In January 2010 , the US proposed a $6.4 billion arms sale to the Republic of China . In response , the PRC threatened to impose sanctions on US companies supplying arms to Taiwan and suspend cooperation on certain regional and international issues . U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry speaks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping , July 10 , 2014 . On February 19 , 2010 , President Obama met with the Dalai Lama , accused by China of `` fomenting unrest in Tibet . '' After the meeting , China summoned the US ambassador to China , Jon Huntsman , but Time has described the Chinese reaction as `` muted , '' speculating that it could be because `` the meeting came during the Chinese New Year ... when most officials are on leave . '' Some activists criticized Obama for the relatively low profile of the visit . In 2012 , the PRC criticized Obama 's new defense strategy , which was widely viewed as aiming to isolate China in the East Asian region . Obama is looking to increase US military influence in the area with a rotating presence of forces in friendly countries . In March 2012 , China suddenly began cutting back its purchases of oil from Iran , along with some signs on sensitive security issues like Syria and North Korea , showed some coordination with the Obama administration . In March 2013 , the US and China agreed to impose stricter sanctions on North Korea for conducting nuclear tests , which sets the stage for UN Security Council vote . Such accord might signal a new level of cooperation between the US and China . In an effort to build a `` new model '' of relations , President Obama met President Xi Jinping for two days of meetings , between 6 June and 8 June 2013 , at the Sunnylands estate in Rancho Mirage , California . The summit was considered `` the most important meeting between an American president and a Chinese leader in 40 years , since Nixon and Mao , '' according to Joseph Nye , a political scientist at Harvard University . The leaders concretely agreed to combat climate change and also found strong mutual interest in curtailing North Korea 's nuclear program . However , the leaders remained sharply divided over cyber espionage and U.S. arms sales to Taiwan . Xi was dismissive of American complaints about cyber security . Tom Donilon , the outgoing U.S. National Security Adviser , stated that cyber security `` is now at the center of the relationship , '' adding that if China 's leaders were unaware of this fact , they know now . Relations between the military leadership of the two nations improved in 2013 . General Qi said that over the long term the shared interests of the two would outweigh their differences . In May 2015 , U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter warned China to halt its rapid island - building in the South China Sea . President Obama hosted President Xi Jinping of the People 's Republic of China for a bilateral meeting on the margins of the Nuclear Security Summit on March 31 , 2016 . Trump ′ S. tenure ( 2017 -- ) ( edit ) See also : Foreign policy of Donald Trump § China and Taiwan Secretary of State Rex Tillerson shakes hands with President Xi Jinping upon arrival in Beijing , March 19 , 2017 . President - elect Donald Trump ′ s telephone conversation with Tsai Ing - wen , President of the Republic of China , on 2 December 2016 , the first such contact with Taiwan by a U.S. president - elect or president since 1979 , provoked the People 's Republic of China to lodge a diplomatic protest ( `` stern representations '' ) . Trump went on to clarify his move by telling the Fox News , `` I fully understand the ' one China ' policy , but I do n't know why we have to be bound by a ' one China ' policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things , including trade . '' On Donald Trump ′ s inauguration day , an official from the People 's Liberation Army wrote on the official website that the US 's military build - up in Asia , and its push to arm South Korea with the THAAD missile - defense system were provocative `` hot spots getting closer to ignition '' and that the chances of war had become `` more real '' . On 23 January , speaking about China 's claims to sovereignty over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea , White House spokesman Sean Spicer said , `` It 's a question of if those islands are in fact in international waters and not part of China proper , then yeah , we 're going to make sure that we defend international territories from being taken over by one country . '' On 4 January , on a visit to Japan , U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis reaffirmed Washington 's commitment under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan to defending Japan , including the Senkaku Islands ( the East China Sea ) that are claimed by China . On 9 February , Trump spoke with China 's leader Xi Jinping over the phone discussing a wide range of issues ; Trump was said to have re-iterated the U.S. ′ commitment to the status quo ' one - China ' policy . President Xi Jinping reiterated before President Trump , in a telephone conversation held between the two men on 3 July 2017 , that `` China - US relations have made great progress in recent days , but they have also been affected by some negative factors . '' By `` negative factors , '' Geng Shuan , a Chinese government spokesmen , explained in a televised briefing : `` Under the pretext of navigational freedom , the American side once again sent military vessels into the Chinese territorial waters of Xisha ( Paracel ) Islands . It has violated Chinese and international law , infringed upon Chinese sovereignty , and disrupted order , peace and security of the relevant waters and put in jeopardy facilities and personnel on the relevant Chinese islands . It is a serious political and military provocation . The Chinese side is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to the relevant actions by the US . '' Economic relations ( edit ) This article needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( May 2010 ) Imports and exports between China and the United States . US census.gov data . The PRC and the US resumed trade relations in 1972 and 1973 . Direct investment by the US in mainland China covers a wide range of manufacturing sectors , several large hotel projects , restaurant chains , and petrochemicals . US companies have entered agreements establishing more than 20,000 equity joint ventures , contractual joint ventures , and wholly foreign - owned enterprises in mainland China . More than 100 US - based multinationals have projects in mainland China , some with multiple investments . Cumulative US investment in mainland China is valued at $48 billion . The US trade deficit with mainland China exceeded $350 billion in 2006 and was the United States ' largest bilateral trade deficit . Some of the factors that influence the U.S. trade deficit with mainland China include : US Import Valuation Overcounts China : there has been a shift of low - end assembly industries to mainland China from newly industrialized countries in Asia . Mainland China has increasingly become the last link in a long chain of value - added production . Because US trade data attributes the full value of a product to the final assembler , mainland Chinese value added is overcounted . US demand for labor - intensive goods exceeds domestic output : the PRC has restrictive trade practices in mainland China , which include a wide array of barriers to foreign goods and services , often aimed at protecting state - owned enterprises . These practices include high tariffs , lack of transparency , requiring firms to obtain special permission to import goods , inconsistent application of laws and regulations , and leveraging technology from foreign firms in return for market access . Mainland China 's accession to the World Trade Organization is meant to help address these barriers . The undervaluation of the Renminbi relative to the United States dollar . Beginning in 2009 , the US and China agreed to hold regular high - level talks about economic issues and other mutual concerns by establishing the Strategic Economic Dialogue , which meets biannually . Five meetings have been held , the most recent in December 2008 . Economic nationalism seems to be rising in both countries , a point the leaders of the two delegations noted in their opening presentations . The United States and China have also established the high - level US - China Senior Dialogue to discuss international political issues and work out resolutions . The first round of the U.S. -- China Strategic and Economic Dialogue was held in Washington , D.C. , from 27 to 28 July 2009 In September 2009 a trade dispute emerged between China and the United States , which came after the US imposed tariffs of 35 percent on Chinese tire imports . The Chinese commerce minister accused the United States of a `` grave act of trade protectionism , '' while a USTR spokesperson said the tariff `` was taken precisely in accordance with the law and our international trade agreements . '' Additional issues were raised by both sides in subsequent months . When a country joins the World Trade Organization they commit to keep their Tariffs beneath the bound rate , which is generally around 39 percent . China 's reaction is due to the fact that nations usually keep their Tariffs at an average of 9 percent , but when the U.S raised their Tariff on Chinese imported tires to 35 percent , it was still below the average bound rate . Pascal Lamy cautioned : `` The statistical bias created by attributing commercial value to the last country of origin perverts the true economic dimension of the bilateral trade imbalances . This affects the political debate , and leads to misguided perceptions . Take the bilateral deficit between China and the US . A series of estimates based on true domestic content can cut the overall deficit -- which was $252 bn in November 2010 -- by half , if not more . '' In early 2012 , a dispute over rare earth minerals was brought into the light between the two countries . President Obama made an announcement that the United States would be one of a few countries to file a dispute with China . Amongst the United States , Japan and other Western European countries would also be filing disputes as well . This is simply just one of few disputes between the United States and China . It is believed by many experts , including Chris Isidore , a writer for CNN Money , that `` any one of the disputes could damage the economies of both countries as well as the relationship between them . '' The dispute was filed , and China was charged with putting unfair restrictions on the exportation of rare earth minerals . These minerals were crucial and in high demand by all countries . President Obama believed the United States should have those minerals in the United States whereas China disagreed . China denied all of the said charges brought forth `` saying its rules are defensible on grounds of environmental and economic sustainability , and suggests there would be consequences if the United States presses the case . '' It is important to understand the relationship between the United States and China , especially economically . There is not one without the other . China 's state news agency commented that `` past experiences have shown that policymakers in Washington should treat such issues with more prudence , because maintaining sound China - U.S. trade relations is in the fundamental interests of both sides '' Currency dispute ( edit ) Main article : Renminbi currency value From 2003 to 2014 , China was a major currency manipulator . Economist C. Fred Bergsten , writing for the Peterson Institute for International Economics , wrote that `` During this ' decade of manipulation , ' China bought more than $300 billion annually to resist upward movement of its currency by artificially keeping the exchange rate of the dollar strong and the renminbi 's exchange rate weak . China 's competitive position was thus strengthened by as much as 30 to 40 percent at the peak of the intervention . Currency manipulation explained most of China 's large trade surpluses , which reached a staggering 10 percent of its entire GDP in 2007 . '' During this period , China 's currency manipulation was a point of conflict with the United States . Domestic leaders within the United States pressured the Obama administration to take a hard - line stance against China and compel them to raise the value of their currency , and legislation was introduced to the United States Congress calling on the President to impose tariffs on Chinese imports until China properly values its currency . Since 2014 , the situation changed dramatically , as China stopped artificially deflating its currency , as the growth in the Chinese economy slowed and Chinese investors made more investments outside the country , leading to a drop in the yuan 's value in relation to the dollar , as well as a decline in China 's reserves . Chinese Perspective on the US economy ( edit ) China is a major creditor and the second largest foreign holder of US public debt and has been critical of US deficits and fiscal policy , advising for policies that maintain the purchasing value of the dollar although it had little few options other than to continue to buy United States Treasury bonds . China condemned the US monetary policy of quantitative easing , responding to S&P 's downgrade of U.S. credit rating , and advised the United States not to continue with the accumulation of debt , concluding with the statement that America can not continue to borrow to solve financial problems . Important issues ( edit ) Military spending and planning ( edit ) Main articles : Military budget of China and Military budget of the United States The PRC 's military budget is often mentioned as a threat by many , including the Blue Team . The PRC 's investment in its military is growing rapidly . The United States , along with independent analysts , remains convinced that the PRC conceals the real extent of its military spending . According to the PRC government , China spent $45 billion on defense in 2007 . In contrast , the United States had a $623 - billion budget for the military in 2008 , $123 billion more than the combined military budgets of all other countries in the world . Some very broad US estimates maintain that the PRC military spends between $85 billion and $125 billion . According to official figures , the PRC spent $123 million on defense per day in 2007 . In comparison , the US spent $1.7 billion ( $1,660 million ) per day that year . General Xu Caihou of the People 's Liberation Army and U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates at the Pentagon The concerns over the Chinese military budget may come from US worries that the PRC is attempting to threaten its neighbors or challenge the United States . Concerns have been raised that China is developing a large naval base near the South China Sea and has diverted resources from the People 's Liberation Army Ground Force to the People 's Liberation Army Navy and to air force and missile development . Even still , China 's military spending is only a fourth of US spending . Andrew Scobell wrote that under President Hu , objective civilian control and oversight of the PLA appears to be weakly applied . On October 27 , 2009 , American Defense Secretary Robert Gates praised the steps China has taken to increase transparency of defense spending . In June 2010 , however , he said that the Chinese military was resisting efforts to improve military - to - military relations with the United States . Gates has also said that the United States will `` assert freedom of navigation '' in response to Chinese complaints about United States Navy deployments in international waters near China . Admiral Michael Mullen has said that the United States seeks closer military ties to China , but will continue to operate in the western Pacific . A recent report stated that five of six US Air Force bases in the area are potentially vulnerable to Chinese missiles and called for increased defenses . Meanwhile , the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists wrote in a 2010 report that the Chinese continue to invest in modernization of their nuclear forces because they perceive that their deterrent force is vulnerable to American capabilities and that further improvement in American missile defenses will drive further Chinese spending in this area . Chinese defense minister Liang Guanglie has said that China is 20 years behind the United States in military technology . Territorial claims in the South China Sea The International Institute for Strategic Studies in a 2011 report argued that if spending trends continue China will achieve military equality with the United States in 15 -- 20 years . China and the United States have been described as engaging in a race of military technology . Expansion and development of new weapons by China has been seen as so threatening as to cause planning for withdrawal of US forces from close proximity to China , dispersal of US bases in the region , and development of various new weapon systems . China is also developing capacity for attacking satellites and for cyberwarfare . In 2012 , it was reported that the United States would invite a team of senior Chinese logisticians to discuss the possibility of a first - ever logistics cooperation agreement between the two countries . Professor James R. Holmes , Chinese specialist at the U.S. Naval War College , has said that China 's investments towards a potential future conflict are closer to those of the United States than may first appear , because the Chinese understate their spending , the internal price structures of the two countries are different , and the Chinese only need to concentrate on projecting military force a short distance from their own shores . The balance may shift to the advantage of the Chinese very quickly if they continue double digit yearly growth while the Americans and their allies cut back . In line with power transition theory , the idea that `` wars tend to break out ... when the upward trajectory of a rising power comes close to intersecting the downward trajectory of a declining power , '' some have argued that conflict between China , an emerging power , and the United States , the reigning superpower , is all but inevitable . The US military has developed an AirSea Battle plan that calls for a total war with China ( rather than a limited one ) and starts with a major attack on China 's main land , because that is where the Chinese anti-ship missiles are placed . They prevent ( US warships from carrying out their mission in the area ) . Human rights ( edit ) This article contains weasel words : vague phrasing that often accompanies biased or unverifiable information . Such statements should be clarified or removed . ( September 2014 ) Wikinews has related news : China ' furious ' at U.S. over Dalai Lama award Civil rights activist Chen Guangcheng ( left ) with former United States ambassador to China Gary Locke ( center ) and former Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt M. Campbell ( right ) at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing on 1 May 2012 China Daily published a cartoon of a shadowed Statue of Liberty holding a tape recorder and microphone instead of a tablet and torch Main articles : Human rights in China and Human Rights Record of the United States In 2003 , the United States declared that despite some positive momentum that year and greater signs that the People 's Republic of China was willing to engage with the US and others on human rights , there was still serious backsliding . China has acknowledged in principle the importance of protection of human rights and has claimed to have taken steps to bring its own human rights practices into conformity with international norms . Among these steps are the signing of the International Covenant on Economic , Social and Cultural Rights in October 1997 , ratified in March 2001 , and signing of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in October 1998 , which has not yet been ratified . In 2002 , China released a significant number of political and religious prisoners and agreed to interact with United Nations experts on torture , arbitrary detention , and religion . However , international human rights groups assert that there has been virtually no movement on these promises , with more people being arrested for similar offences since . Such groups maintain that China still has a long way to go in instituting the kind of fundamental systemic change that will protect the rights and liberties of all its citizens in mainland China . The US State Department publishes an annual report on human rights around the world , which includes an evaluation of China 's human rights record . In a decision that was criticized by human rights groups , the State Department did not list China as one of the world 's worst human rights violators in its 2007 report of human rights practices in countries and regions outside the United States . However , the then - assistant secretary of the State Department 's Bureau of Democracy , Human Rights , and Labor Jonathan D. Farrar stated that China 's overall human rights record in 2007 remained poor . Since 1998 , China has annually published a White Paper detailing the human rights abuses by the United States and since 2005 has also published a White Paper on its own political system and democratic progress . On February 27 , 2014 the United States released its China report on human rights practices for 2013 which , according to its executive summary , described the PRC as an authoritarian state and a place in which repression and coercion were routine . On February 28 , 2014 , China published a report on human rights in the United States citing surveillance on its own citizens , mistreatment of inmates , gun violence , and homelessness despite having a vibrant economy as important issues . Influence in Asia ( edit ) China 's economic rise has led to some geo - political friction between the US and China in the East Asian region . For example , in response to China 's response to the Bombardment of Yeonpyeong by North Korea , `` Washington is moving to redefine its relationship with South Korea and Japan , potentially creating an anti-China bloc in Northeast Asia that officials say they do n't want but may need . '' For its part , the Chinese government fears a US Encirclement Conspiracy . China and the US have recently led competing efforts to gain influence in Asian trade and development . In 2015 , China led the creation of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank , with the goal of financing projects which would spur the development of the lower - tier Asian economies , thus facilitating improved economic ties across the region . It has been suggested that the United States considered the AIIB to be a challenge to the US - backed Asian Development Bank and the World Bank , and sees the Chinese effort as an attempt to set the global economic agenda on terms formulated by the government in Beijing . The Obama administration led an effort to enact the Trans - Pacific Partnership Agreement , a multilateral trade pact between a number of Pacific Rim countries , which excluded China . According to the US Trade Representative , the agreement was designed to `` promote economic growth ; support the creation and retention of jobs ; enhance innovation , productivity and competitiveness ; raise living standards ; reduce poverty in the signatories ' countries ; and promote transparency , good governance , and enhanced labor and environmental protections . '' The deal was placed on hold after the US withdrew from the agreement on 23 January 2017 . These efforts are among the attempts by both the US and China to increase their influence over the Asia - Pacific by strengthening their economic ties within the region . According to an article published on Jura Gentium , Journal of Philosophy of International Law and Global Politics , there is a `` new Sphere of Influence 2 '' shaped mainly by China and the US . Even on social media , if the Western , Japanese and South Korean events and daily life are linked through Facebook , Chinese and American habits and customs are disconnected lacking in social media sharing . This strategy to avoid American influences through social networks is preserved by the Chinese government . In response to increased American drone strikes against militants on Pakistan 's border areas during the Obama administration , the PRC has offered additional fighter jets to Pakistan . Countries in Southeast Asia have responded to Chinese claims for sea areas by seeking closer relations with the United States . American Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said that in spite of budget pressures , the United States will expand its influence in the region , in order to counter China 's military buildup . On 7 June 2013 , Denny Roy , a senior fellow at the East -- West Center in Honolulu , argued in The Diplomat that the United States and China must stop striving for trust and instead emphasize verification . `` The argument that trust leads to peace is built on the premise that the suspicions between China and the U.S. are unfounded and would evaporate with more and deeper dialogue . Unfortunately , however , at least some of these suspicions are all too warranted . '' Whether international law should govern regional affairs in Asia ; whether China should be allowed to make expansive sovereignty claims ; and what the future strategic roles of South Korea and Japan should be , are issues that , according to Roy , are irreconcilable between China and the U.S. Strategic trust , therefore , is not attainable . `` The two countries should strive to manage their inevitable bilateral strategic tensions by reaching agreements where both see a benefit and where compliance is measurable ... for these inherent rivals and potential adversaries , the emphasis belongs on ' verify , ' not ' trust . ' '' In the context of US - China relations , a potential application of MAR would be the U.S. pledging not to move its forces into North Korea in the event of a regime collapse , which could be followed by a commitment from China not to move its troops to the DMZ in such an event .

Formal recognition by the United States of the Empire of China , and by the Empire of China of the United States , came on or about June 16 , 1844 , when U.S. Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary Caleb Cushing presented his credentials and met with Chinese official Qiying to discuss treaty negotiations . Prior to this , the United States had dispatched consuls to Guangzhou as early as 1784 -- the first was Samuel Shaw , the supercargo on the Empress of China -- but these had never been formally received by Chinese officials as state representatives . The two countries had acknowledged each other 's existence before 1844 , but the negotiations and treaty of that year marked the first recognition under international law .

"On March 1, 1979, the two countries formally established embassies in each other's capitals. In 1979, outstanding private claims were resolved and a bilateral trade agreement was completed. Vice President Walter Mondale reciprocated Vice Premier Deng's visit with an August 1979 trip to China. This visit led to agreements in September 1980 on maritime affairs, civil aviation links, and textile matters, as well as a bilateral consular convention."

-1001531070201985556 | Alaska Permanent Fund | Alaska Permanent Fund - wikipedia Alaska Permanent Fund Jump to : navigation , search The Alaska Permanent Fund is a constitutionally established permanent fund managed by a state - owned corporation , the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation ( APFC ) . It was established in Alaska in 1976 by Article 9 , Section 15 of the Alaska State Constitution under Governor Jay Hammond . From February 1976 until April 1980 , the Department of Revenue Treasury Division managed the state 's Permanent Fund assets , until , in 1980 , the Alaska State Legislature created the APFC . As of the end of 2016 , the fund is worth nearly $55 billion that has been funded by oil revenues .

It was designed to be an investment where at least 25 % of the oil money would be put into a dedicated fund for future generations , who would no longer have oil as a resource . This does not mean the fund is solely funded by oil revenue . The Fund includes neither property taxes on oil company property nor income tax from oil corporations , so the minimum 25 % deposit is closer to 11 % if those sources were also considered . The Alaska Permanent Fund sets aside a certain share of oil revenues to continue benefiting current and all future generations of Alaskans . Many citizens also believed that the legislature too quickly and too inefficiently spent the $900 million bonus the state got in 1969 after leasing out the oil fields . This belief spurred a desire to put some oil revenues out of direct political control . The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation manages the assets of both the Permanent Fund and other state investments , but spending Fund income is up to the Legislature . The Corporation is to manage for maximum prudent return , and not -- as some Alaskans at first wanted -- as a development bank for in - state projects . The Fund grew from an initial investment of $734,000 in 1977 to approximately $53.7 billion as of July 9 , 2015 . Some growth was due to good management , some to inflationary re-investment , and some via legislative decisions to deposit extra income during boom years . Each year , the fund 's realized earnings are split between inflation - proofing , operating expenses , and the annual Permanent Fund Dividend . In June 2011 , the Fund 's chief investment officer announced he would leave the sovereign wealth fund and re-enter the private sector , joining consulting firm Wurts and Associates . His replacement will be Jay Willoughby , a businessman from the private sector . The fund is a member of the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds and has therefore signed up to the Santiago Principles on best practice in managing sovereign wealth funds . The fund 's current CIO is Russell Read . Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation ( edit ) The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation is a government instrumentality of the State of Alaska created to manage and invest the assets of the Alaska Permanent Fund and other funds designated by law . Board of Trustees ( edit ) The Board of Trustees are governor - appointed Bill Moran , Chair , reappointed 2014 Carl Brady , Vice-Chair , reappointed 2015 Larry Cash , appointed 2013 Gary Dalton , appointed 2012 Randall Hoffbeck , appointed 2014 Craig Richards , appointed 2015 Permanent Fund dividend ( edit ) The Permanent Fund Dividend ( PFD ) is a dividend paid to Alaska residents that have lived within the state for a full calendar year ( January 1 -- December 31 ) , and intend to remain an Alaska resident indefinitely . This means if residency is taken on January 2 , the `` calendar year '' would n't start until next January 1 . However , an individual is not eligible for a PFD for a dividend year when : ( 1 ) during the qualifying year , the individual was sentenced as a result of conviction in this state of a felony ; ( 2 ) during all or part of the qualifying year , the individual was incarcerated as a result of the conviction in this state of a ( A ) felony ; or ( B ) misdemeanor if the individual has been convicted of ( i ) a prior felony as defined in AS 11.81. 900 ; or ( ii ) two or more prior misdemeanors as defined in AS 11.81. 900 The amount of each payment is based upon a five - year average of the Permanent Fund 's performance and varies widely depending on the stock market and many other factors . The PFD is calculated by the following steps : Add Fund Statutory Net Income from the current plus the previous four fiscal years . Multiply by 21 % Divide by 2 Subtract prior year obligations , expenses and PFD program operations Divide by the number of eligible applicants The lowest individual dividend payout was $331.29 in 1984 and the highest was $2,072 in 2015 . However , in 2008 Governor Sarah Palin signed Senate Bill 4002 that used revenues generated from the state 's natural resources and provided a one - time special payment of $1,200 to every Alaskan eligible for the PFD . Although the principal or corpus of the Fund is constitutionally protected , income earned by the Fund , like nearly all State income , is constitutionally defined as general fund money . The first dividend plan would have paid Alaskans $50 for each year of residency up to 20 years , but the U.S. Supreme Court in Zobel v. Williams , 457 U.S. 55 ( 1982 ) disapproved the $50 per year formula as an invidious distinction burdening interstate travel . As a result , each qualified resident now receives the same annual amount , regardless of age or years of residency . One mathematical effect of an equal - amount dividend is that the dividend contributes a greater percentage of added income for people of lower incomes . Conversely , any cut , limit , cap , or end of the equal - amount PFD would mean low - income Alaskans would experience the greatest percentage loss of income . The PFD payout , which comes in or near October of each year , is acknowledged to have a substantial effect on Alaska 's economy , both in total and especially in rural Alaska where unemployment can reach 60 % and where cash is scarce . Annual individual payout ( edit ) This is the fund 's history of annual individual payouts , in nominal USD . Year Amount 1982 $1,000.00 $386.15 1984 $331.29 1985 $404.00 1986 $556.26 $708.19 $826.93 $873.16 $952.63 1991 $931.34 $915.84 $949.46 $983.90 1995 $990.30 $1,130.68 $1,296.54 1998 $1,540.88 1999 $1,769.84 2000 $1,963.86 $1,850.28 2002 $1,540.76 2003 $1,107.56 $919.84 2005 $845.76 2006 $1,106.96 2007 $1,654.00 2008 $2,069.00 + $1,200 Alaska Resource Rebate 2009 $1,305.00 $1,281.00 2011 $1,174.00 2012 $878.00 2013 $900.00 2014 $1,884.00 2015 $2,072.00 2016 $1,022.00 ( dividend was estimated to be $2,052 however Governor Walker 's veto reduced it ) 2017 $1,100.00 ( dividend was estimated to be over $2,300 however Governor Walker 's administration reduced it a second year in a row ) Constitutional budget Reserve ( CBR ) ( edit ) The Constitutional Budget Reserve is a companion fund to the Permanent Fund which was established in 1991 to deal with the problem of short - term oil revenue variability . Deposits into the CBR consist of settlements of back taxes and other revenues owed to the state . Draws from the CBR into the general fund require a 3 / 4 vote of each house of the legislature and must be repaid . To date , the general fund has amassed a debt of approximately $4 billion to the CBR to maintain a stable level of public spending . Issues with the Constitutional budget Reserve ( edit ) The size of the debt as related to that of the budget has spawned doubt over the probability of eventual repayment . The CBR is based on the assumption that the general fund deficit will remain constant over time ( allowing paybacks to balance draws ) . Believing this to be mistaken , critics allege the state uses resources from the CBR to avoid reducing the budget , acknowledging debt , or increasing taxes . According to them , falling oil revenues and growing spending requirements will leave paybacks consistently lower than draws , causing the CBR to fail . Former state senator Dave Donley ( R - Anchorage ) recognized that the high vote requirement to spend CBR money ( 3 / 4 of each house ) had a perverse and unintended consequence , The high vote requirement was meant to ensure that draws from the CBR would be rare , but in fact such draws are common . Donley explained that the high vote requirement really empowers the minority party ( in the 2000 - 07 era , Democratic Party ) , who can then get what they want in a Christmas tree bill ( presents for everyone , both majority and minority ) in exchange for their votes ( which minority votes would not be needed with the usual 51 % voting rule ) . Donley thus explains why both parties can and do use the higher voting rule requirement to more frequently spend from the CBR . Issues with the Permanent Fund ( edit ) Dividends and spending ( edit ) While the Permanent Fund generally generated large surpluses even after payment of the Dividend ( PFD ) , the state general fund operated at a substantial deficit . However , the consolidated account of both General and Permanent Funds usually shows a surplus . The Funds ' ultimate uses were never clearly spelled out at its inception , leaving no current consensus over what role Fund earning should play in the current and expected state budget shortfalls . However , some people argue that the original intent was to fund state government after the temporary oil riches ceased , while others note that the Fund 's intent changed from its 1976 origin when in 1982 the Dividend program began . Public opinion strongly favors the Dividend program . Indeed , in 1999 , with oil prices going as low as $9 per barrel and Alaska 's oil consultant Daniel Yergin forecasting low prices `` for the foreseeable future '' , the State put an advisory vote before Alaskans , asking if government could spend `` some '' part of Permanent Fund earning for government purposes . Gov. Knowles , Lt. Gov. Ulmer , and many other elected officials urged a `` yes '' vote . Campaign spending greatly favored the `` yes '' side . The public voted `` no '' by nearly 84 % . ( Oil prices rose dramatically , starting about two weeks after Yergin 's prediction , to above $60 per barrel , though the quantity produced continues to fall . ) Perceived support of the dividend program is so universally strong that it ensures the dividend 's continuity and the protection of the Fund 's principal , since any measure characterized as negatively impacting dividend payouts represents a loss to the entire populace . That is , legislators willing to appropriate the Fund 's annual earnings are constrained by the politically suicidal nature of any decrease in the public 's dividend . Percent of market value ( PoMV ) proposal ( edit ) In 2000 , the APFC Board of Trustees proposed changing the Permanent Fund 's management system to a Percent of Market Value ( PoMV ) approach which would require an amendment to the state constitution . The PoMV proposal would limit withdrawals to five percent of the fund 's value each year , to be spent at the discretion of the Legislature . Currently the Legislature has authority to appropriate all of the fund 's realized earnings . Tentative , unapproved proposals indicate that half of this five percent withdrawal would go to the dividend and half to government spending -- but POMV died in the Legislature because most there saw POMV as unambiguously tied to such politically unpopular spending proposals . Most Alaskans ( 84 % in 1999 ) disapprove of allowing the government to tamper with the fund , especially if that means government might spend Fund income .

"The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation manages the assets of both the Permanent Fund and other state investments, but spending Fund income is up to the Legislature.[citation needed] The Corporation is to manage for maximum prudent return, and not—as some Alaskans at first wanted—as a development bank for in-state projects. The Fund grew from an initial investment of $734,000 in 1977 to approximately $53.7 billion as of July 9, 2015.[7] Some growth was due to good management, some to inflationary re-investment, and some via legislative decisions to deposit extra income during boom years. Each year, the fund's realized earnings are split between inflation-proofing, operating expenses, and the annual Permanent Fund Dividend."

Established by a resolution of the Congress on June 14 , 1775 , it was created to coordinate the military efforts of the Thirteen Colonies in their revolt against the rule of Great Britain . The Continental Army was supplemented by local militias and troops that remained under control of the individual states or were otherwise independent . General George Washington was the commander - in - chief of the army throughout the war . Most of the Continental Army was disbanded in 1783 after the Treaty of Paris ended the war . The 1st and 2nd Regiments went on to form the nucleus of the Legion of the United States in 1792 under General Anthony Wayne . This became the foundation of the United States Army in 1796 .

When the American Revolutionary War began at the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19 , 1775 , the colonial revolutionaries did not have an army . Previously , each colony had relied upon the militia , made up of part - time citizen - soldiers , for local defense , or the raising of temporary `` provincial regiments '' during specific crises such as the French and Indian War of 1754 -- 63 . As tensions with Great Britain increased in the years leading to the war , colonists began to reform their militias in preparation for the perceived potential conflict . Training of militiamen increased after the passage of the Intolerable Acts in 1774 . Colonists such as Richard Henry Lee proposed forming a national militia force , but the First Continental Congress rejected the idea . On April 23 , 1775 , the Massachusetts Provincial Congress authorized the raising of a colonial army consisting of 26 company regiments . New Hampshire , Rhode Island , and Connecticut soon raised similar but smaller forces . On June 14 , 1775 , the Second Continental Congress decided to proceed with the establishment of a Continental Army for purposes of common defense , adopting the forces already in place outside Boston ( 22,000 troops ) and New York ( 5,000 ) . It also raised the first ten companies of Continental troops on a one - year enlistment , riflemen from Pennsylvania , Maryland , Delaware and Virginia to be used as light infantry , who became the 1st Continental Regiment in 1776 . On June 15 , 1775 , the Congress elected by unanimous vote George Washington as Commander - in - Chief , who accepted and served throughout the war without any compensation except for reimbursement of expenses . On July 18 , 1775 , the Congress requested all colonies form militia companies from `` all able bodied effective men , between sixteen and fifty years of age . '' It was not uncommon for men younger than sixteen to enlist as most colonies had no requirement of parental consent for those under twenty - one ( adulthood ) . Four major - generals ( Artemas Ward , Charles Lee , Philip Schuyler , and Israel Putnam ) and eight brigadier - generals ( Seth Pomeroy , Richard Montgomery , David Wooster , William Heath , Joseph Spencer , John Thomas , John Sullivan , and Nathanael Greene ) were appointed by the Second Continental Congress in the course of a few days . After Pomeroy did not accept , John Thomas was appointed in his place . General George Washington was appointed Commander - in - Chief of the Continental Army on June 15 , 1775 . As the Continental Congress increasingly adopted the responsibilities and posture of a legislature for a sovereign state , the role of the Continental Army became the subject of considerable debate . Some Americans had a general aversion to maintaining a standing army ; but on the other hand the requirements of the war against the British required the discipline and organization of a modern military . As a result , the army went through several distinct phases , characterized by official dissolution and reorganization of units . Soldiers in the Continental Army were citizens who had volunteered to serve in the army ( but were paid ) , and at various times during the war , standard enlistment periods lasted from one to three years . Early in the war the enlistment periods were short , as the Continental Congress feared the possibility of the Continental Army evolving into a permanent army . The army never numbered more than 17,000 men . Turnover proved a constant problem , particularly in the winter of 1776 -- 77 , and longer enlistments were approved . Broadly speaking , Continental forces consisted of several successive armies , or establishments : The Continental Army of 1775 , comprising the initial New England Army , organized by Washington into three divisions , six brigades , and 38 regiments . Major General Philip Schuyler 's ten regiments in New York were sent to invade Canada . The Continental Army of 1776 , reorganized after the initial enlistment period of the soldiers in the 1775 army had expired . Washington had submitted recommendations to the Continental Congress almost immediately after he had accepted the position of Commander - in - Chief , but the Congress took time to consider and implement these . Despite attempts to broaden the recruiting base beyond New England , the 1776 army remained skewed toward the Northeast both in terms of its composition and of its geographical focus . This army consisted of 36 regiments , most standardized to a single battalion of 768 men strong and formed into eight companies , with a rank - and - file strength of 640 . The Continental Army of 1777 -- 80 evolved out of several critical reforms and political decisions that came about when it became apparent that the British were sending massive forces to put an end to the American Revolution . The Continental Congress passed the `` Eighty - eight Battalion Resolve '' , ordering each state to contribute one - battalion regiments in proportion to their population , and Washington subsequently received authority to raise an additional 16 battalions . Enlistment terms extended to three years or to `` the length of the war '' to avoid the year - end crises that depleted forces ( including the notable near - collapse of the army at the end of 1776 , which could have ended the war in a Continental , or American , loss by forfeit ) . The Continental Army of 1781 -- 82 saw the greatest crisis on the American side in the war . Congress was bankrupt , making it very difficult to replenish the soldiers whose three - year terms had expired . Popular support for the war reached an all - time low , and Washington had to put down mutinies both in the Pennsylvania Line and in the New Jersey Line . Congress voted to cut funding for the Army , but Washington managed nevertheless to secure important strategic victories . The Continental Army of 1783 -- 84 was succeeded by the United States Army , which persists to this day . As peace was restored with the British , most of the regiments were disbanded in an orderly fashion , though several had already been diminished . In addition to the Continental Army regulars , local militia units , raised and funded by individual colonies / states , participated in battles throughout the war . Sometimes the militia units operated independently of the Continental Army , but often local militias were called out to support and augment the Continental Army regulars during campaigns . ( The militia troops developed a reputation for being prone to premature retreats , a fact that Brigadier - General Daniel Morgan integrated into his strategy at the Battle of Cowpens in 1781 . ) The financial responsibility for providing pay , food , shelter , clothing , arms , and other equipment to specific units was assigned to states as part of the establishment of these units . States differed in how well they lived up to these obligations . There were constant funding issues and morale problems as the war continued . This led to the army offering low pay , often rotten food , hard work , cold , heat , poor clothing and shelter , harsh discipline , and a high chance of becoming a casualty . Operations ( edit ) Infantry of the Continental Army . 1778 drawing showing a Stockbridge Mahican Indian , Patriot soldier , of the Stockbridge Militia , in Stockbridge , Massachusetts , from the Revolutionary War diary of Hessian officer , Johann Von Ewald 1781 drawing of American soldiers from the Yorktown campaign showing a black infantryman , on the far left , from the 1st Rhode Island Regiment , one of the regiments in the Continental Army having the largest majority of black patriot soldiers . An estimated 4 % of the Continental Army was black ( see African Americans in the Revolutionary War ) . At the time of the Siege of Boston , the Continental Army at Cambridge , Massachusetts , in June 1775 , is estimated to have numbered from 14 -- 16,000 men from New England ( though the actual number may have been as low as 11,000 because of desertions ) . Until Washington 's arrival , it remained under the command of Artemas Ward , while John Thomas acted as executive officer and Richard Gridley commanded the artillery corps and was chief engineer . It was during this siege that Washington allegedly uttered his famous words , `` It is cold out here . '' This was a poetic representation of the harsh conditions the men endured during the summer of the siege , and a reference to a political cartoon by Benjamin Franklin . It served as a piece of satire as it was a remark about cold conditions , while the men experienced some of the hottest temperatures of that year . The British force in Boston was increasing by fresh arrivals . It numbered then about 10,000 men . Major Generals Howe , Clinton , and Burgoyne , had arrived late in May and joined General Gage in forming and executing plans for dispersing the rebels . Feeling strong with these veteran officers and soldiers around him -- and the presence of several Men - of - War under Admiral Graves -- the governor issued a proclamation , declaring martial law , branding the entire Continental Army and supporters as `` rebels '' and `` parricides of the Constitution . '' Amnesty was offered to those who gave up their allegiance to the Continental Army and Congress in favor of the British authorities , though Samuel Adams and John Hancock were still wanted for high treason . This proclamation only served to strengthen the resolve of the Congress and Army . After the British evacuation of Boston ( prompted by the placement of Continental artillery overlooking the city in March 1776 ) , the Continental Army relocated to New York . For the next five years , the main bodies of the Continental and British armies campaigned against one another in New York , New Jersey , and Pennsylvania . These campaigns included the notable battles of Trenton , Princeton , Brandywine , Germantown , and Morristown , among many others . The Continental Army was racially integrated , a condition the United States Army would not see again until Truman ordered the desegregation of the military in 1948 . African American slaves were promised freedom in exchange for military service in New England , and made up one fifth of the Northern Continental Army . Throughout its existence , the Army was troubled by poor logistics , inadequate training , short - term enlistments , interstate rivalries , and Congress 's inability to compel the states to provide food , money or supplies . In the beginning , soldiers enlisted for a year , largely motivated by patriotism ; but as the war dragged on , bounties and other incentives became more commonplace . Two major mutinies late in the war drastically diminished the reliability of two of the main units , and there were constant discipline problems . The army increased its effectiveness and success rate through a series of trials and errors , often at great human cost . General Washington and other distinguished officers were instrumental leaders in preserving unity , learning and adapting , and ensuring discipline throughout the eight years of war . In the winter of 1777 -- 1778 , with the addition of Baron von Steuben , of Prussian origin , the training and discipline of the Continental Army began to vastly improve . ( This was the infamous winter at Valley Forge . ) Washington always viewed the Army as a temporary measure and strove to maintain civilian control of the military , as did the Continental Congress , though there were minor disagreements about how this was carried out . Near the end of the war , the Continental Army was augmented by a French expeditionary force ( under General Rochambeau ) and a squadron of the French navy ( under the Comte de Barras ) , and in the late summer of 1781 the main body of the army travelled south to Virginia to rendezvous with the French West Indies fleet under Admiral Comte de Grasse . This resulted in the Siege of Yorktown , the decisive Battle of the Chesapeake , and the surrender of the British southern army . This essentially marked the end of the land war in America , although the Continental Army returned to blockade the British northern army in New York until the peace treaty went into effect two years later , and battles took place elsewhere between British forces and those of France and its allies . Demobilization ( edit ) See also : Newburgh Conspiracy A small residual force remained at West Point and some frontier outposts until Congress created the United States Army by their resolution of June 3 , 1784 . Planning for the transition to a peacetime force had begun in April 1783 at the request of a congressional committee chaired by Alexander Hamilton . The commander - in - chief discussed the problem with key officers before submitting the army 's official views on 2 May . Significantly , there was a broad consensus of the basic framework among the officers . Washington 's proposal called for four components : a small regular army , a uniformly trained and organized militia , a system of arsenals , and a military academy to train the army 's artillery and engineer officers . He wanted four infantry regiments , each assigned to a specific sector of the frontier , plus an artillery regiment . His proposed regimental organizations followed Continental Army patterns but had a provision for increased strength in the event of war . Washington expected the militia primarily to provide security for the country at the start of a war until the regular army could expand -- the same role it had carried out in 1775 and 1776 . Steuben and Duportail submitted their own proposals to Congress for consideration . Although Congress declined on May 12 to make a decision on the peace establishment , it did address the need for some troops to remain on duty until the British evacuated New York City and several frontier posts . The delegates told Washington to use men enlisted for fixed terms as temporary garrisons . A detachment of those men from West Point reoccupied New York without incident on November 25 . When Steuben 's effort in July to negotiate a transfer of frontier forts with Major General Frederick Haldimand collapsed , however , the British maintained control over them , as they would into the 1790s . That failure and the realization that most of the remaining infantrymen 's enlistments were due to expire by June 1784 led Washington to order Knox , his choice as the commander of the peacetime army , to discharge all but 500 infantry and 100 artillerymen before winter set in . The former regrouped as Jackson 's Continental Regiment under Colonel Henry Jackson of Massachusetts . The single artillery company , New Yorkers under John Doughty , came from remnants of the 2nd Continental Artillery Regiment . Congress issued a proclamation on October 18 , 1783 , which approved Washington 's reductions . On November 2 , Washington then released his Farewell Order to the Philadelphia newspapers for nationwide distribution to the furloughed men . In the message he thanked the officers and men for their assistance and reminded them that `` the singular interpositions of Providence in our feeble condition were such , as could scarcely escape the attention of the most unobserving ; while the unparalleled perseverance of the Armies of the United States , through almost every possible suffering and discouragement for the space of eight long years , was little short of a standing miracle . '' Continental Army Plaza , Williamsburg , Brooklyn Washington believed that the blending of persons from every colony into `` one patriotic band of Brothers '' had been a major accomplishment , and he urged the veterans to continue this devotion in civilian life . Washington said farewell to his remaining officers on December 4 at Fraunces Tavern in New York City . On December 23 he appeared in Congress , then sitting at Annapolis , and returned his commission as commander - in - chief : `` Having now finished the work assigned me , I retire from the great theatre of Action ; and bidding an Affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long acted , I here offer my Commission , and take my leave of all the employments of public life . '' Congress ended the War of American Independence on January 14 , 1784 , by ratifying the definitive peace treaty that had been signed in Paris on September 3 . Congress had again rejected Washington 's concept for a peacetime force in October 1783 . When moderate delegates then offered an alternative in April 1784 which scaled the projected army down to 900 men in one artillery and three infantry battalions , Congress rejected it as well , in part because New York feared that men retained from Massachusetts might take sides in a land dispute between the two states . Another proposal to retain 350 men and raise 700 new recruits also failed . On June 2 Congress ordered the discharge of all remaining men except twenty - five caretakers at Fort Pitt and fifty - five at West Point . The next day it created a peace establishment acceptable to all interests . The plan required four states to raise 700 men for one year 's service . Congress instructed the Secretary at War to form the troops into eight infantry and two artillery companies . Pennsylvania , with a quota of 260 men , had the power to nominate a lieutenant colonel , who would be the senior officer . New York and Connecticut each were to raise 165 men and nominate a major ; the remaining 110 men came from New Jersey . Economy was the watchword of this proposal , for each major served as a company commander , and line officers performed all staff duties except those of chaplain , surgeon , and surgeon 's mate . Under Josiah Harmar , the First American Regiment slowly organized and achieved permanent status as an infantry regiment of the new Regular Army . The lineage of the First American Regiment is carried on by the 3rd United States Infantry Regiment ( The Old Guard ) . However the United States military realized it needed a well - trained standing army following St. Clair 's Defeat on November 4 , 1791 , when a force led by General Arthur St. Clair was almost entirely wiped out by the Western Confederacy near Fort Recovery , Ohio . The plans , which were supported by U.S. President George Washington and Henry Knox , Secretary of War , led to the disbandment of the Continental Army and the creation of the Legion of the United States . The command would be based on the 18th - century military works of Henry Bouquet , a professional Swiss soldier who served as a colonel in the British army , and French Marshal Maurice de Saxe . In 1792 Anthony Wayne , a renowned hero of the American Revolutionary War , was encouraged to leave retirement and return to active service as Commander - in - Chief of the Legion with the rank of Major General . The legion was recruited and raised in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . It was formed into four sub-legions . These were created from elements of the 1st and 2nd Regiments from the Continental Army . These units then became the First and Second Sub-Legions . The Third and Fourth Sub-Legions were raised from further recruits . From June 1792 to November 1792 , the Legion remained cantoned at Fort LaFayette in Pittsburgh . Throughout the winter of 1792 -- 93 , existing troops along with new recruits were drilled in military skills , tactics and discipline at Legionville on the banks of the Ohio River near present - day Baden , Pennsylvania . The following Spring the newly named Legion of the United States left Legionville for the Northwest Indian War , a struggle between American Indian tribes affiliated with the Western Confederacy in the area south of the Ohio River . The overwhelmingly successful campaign was concluded with the decisive victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers on August 20 , 1794 , Maj. Gen. Anthony Wayne applied the techniques of wilderness operations perfected by Sullivan 's 1779 expedition against the Iroquois . The training the troops received at Legionville was also seen as an instrumental to this overwhelming victory . Nevertheless , Steuben 's Blue Book remained the official manual for the legion , as well as for the militia of most states , until Winfield Scott in 1835 . In 1796 , the United States Army was raised following the discontinuation with the legion of the United States . This preceded the graduation of the first cadets from United States Military Academy at West Point , New York , which was established in 1802 . Rank insignia ( edit ) Ribands as rank insignia : Aide - de-camp , commander - in - chief , brigadier - general . During the American Revolutionary War , the Continental Army initially wore ribbons , cockades and epaulettes of various colors as an ad hoc form of rank insignia , as General George Washington wrote in 1775 : `` As the Continental Army has unfortunately no uniforms , and consequently many inconveniences must arise from not being able to distinguish the commissioned officers from the privates , it is desired that some badge of distinction be immediately provided ; for instance that the field officers may have red or pink colored cockades in their hats , the captains yellow or buff , and the subalterns green . '' In 1776 captains were to have buff or white cockades . Rank insignia of the Continental Army 1775 Ribands across the breast Cockades in the hats Epaulettes or stripes on the right shoulder General and commander - in - chief Major general Brigadier general Aide - de-camp Colonel , Lieutenant colonel , Major Captain Lieutenant , Ensign Sergeant Corporal Later on in the war , the Continental Army established its own uniform with a black cockade ( as used in much of the British Army ) among all ranks and the following insignia : Ranks and insignia of the Continental Army 1780 General and Commander - in - Chief Major general Brigadier general Colonel Lieutenant colonel Aide - de-camp Major Captain Subaltern Lieutenant Ensign Sergeant major Sergeant Corporal Private Gold epaulets Jacket with gold trim Silver epaulets Gold epaulets Hat with green cockade Gold epaulets Gold epaulet ( Right shoulder ) Gold epaulet ( Left shoulder ) No epaulets Red epaulets Red epaulet ( Right shoulder ) Green epaulet ( Right shoulder ) No epaulets Major battles ( edit ) Siege of Boston Battle of Long Island Battle of Harlem Heights Battle of Trenton Battle of Princeton Battle of Brandywine Battle of Germantown Battle of Saratoga Battle of Monmouth Siege of Charleston Battle of Camden Battle of Cowpens Battle of Guilford Court House Siege of Yorktown See also ( edit ) American Revolutionary War portal United States Army portal Pluckemin Continental Artillery Cantonment Site History of the United States Army Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States Peter Francisco , Revolutionary War soldier and hero Middlebrook encampment near Middlebrook , New Jersey First Middlebrook encampment ( 1777 ) Second Middlebrook encampment ( 1778 -- 79 ) Jockey Hollow , near Morristown , New Jersey , winter of 1779 -- 80 New Jersey Brigade Encampment Site , adjacent to Jockey Hollow , winter of 1779 -- 80 Badge of Military Merit Fidelity Medallion Service stripe List of infantry weapons in the American Revolution References ( edit ) Citations ( edit ) Jump up ^ Wright , 1983 , pp. 10 - 11 ^ Jump up to : Cont'l Cong. , Formation of the Continental Army , in 2 Journals of the Continental Congress , 1774 -- 1789 89 -- 90 ( Library of Cong . eds. , 1905 ) .

"The Continental Army was formed by the Second Continental Congress after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War by the colonies that became the United States of America. Established by a resolution of the Congress on June 14, 1775, it was created to coordinate the military efforts of the Thirteen Colonies in their revolt against the rule of Great Britain. The Continental Army was supplemented by local militias and troops that remained under control of the individual states or were otherwise independent. General George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the army throughout the war."

Smith Screenplay by Peter Sauder Narrated by Mickey Rooney Music by Patricia Cullen Edited by Jim Erickson Tom Joerin Gordon Kidd Stephen Mitchell Sheila Murray Steve Weslak Michael O'Farrell Production company Nelvana Limited American Greetings Distributed by The Samuel Goldwyn Company ( United States ) Astral Films Criterion Pictures Corporation ( Canada ) Release date March 24 , 1985 ( 1985 - 03 - 24 ) ( Washington , D.C. ) March 29 , 1985 ( 1985 - 03 - 29 ) ( North America ) Running time 75 minutes Country Canada United States Language English Budget $2 million Box office $34 million The Care Bears Movie is a 1985 Canadian - American animated fantasy film and the second feature film from the Canadian animation studio Nelvana . One of the first films based directly on a toy line , it introduced the Care Bears characters and their companions the Care Bear Cousins . In the film , an orphanage owner ( Mickey Rooney ) tells a story about the Care Bears , who live in a cloud - filled land called Care - a-Lot . Traveling across Earth , the Bears help two lonely children named Kim and Jason find new parents , and also save a young magician 's apprentice named Nicholas from an evil spirit 's influence . Deep within a place called the Forest of Feelings , Kim , Jason , and their friends soon meet another group of creatures , the Care Bear Cousins . American Greetings , the owners of the Care Bears characters , began development of a feature film adaptation in 1981 . Later on , the card company chose Nelvana to produce it , granted them rights to the characters , and financed the film along with cereal manufacturer General Mills and television syndicator LBS Communications . Nelvana 's founders served as producers , while fellow employee Arna Selznick directed the film . Production lasted eight months , with a production budget of at least $2 million , and took place in Canada , Taiwan , and South Korea . The voice cast included Mickey Rooney , Georgia Engel , Jackie Burroughs and Cree Summer . Two pop music stars , Carole King and John Sebastian , contributed several songs . Although major American film studios passed on the project , newly established independent distributor The Samuel Goldwyn Company acquired the distribution rights to the film and soon spent a record $24 million promoting it . The film premiered on March 24 , 1985 , in Washington , D.C. , and was released in North America on March 29 , 1985 . Another Nelvana work , Strawberry Shortcake Meets the Berrykins , played alongside the feature in theatres . The Care Bears Movie received mixed reviews from critics , who raised concern over its potential as a full - length advertisement for the title characters among other aspects . It went on to earn $23 million domestically ; as Canada 's highest - grossing film during 1985 ( with C $1.845 million ) , it won a Golden Reel Award . With over $34 million in worldwide sales , it set a box - office record for Canadian and non-Disney animation , and has remained one of Goldwyn 's largest - earning releases . The film 's success saved Nelvana from closing and helped revive films aimed at children in the US market . It has since been cited as inspiring a spate of toy - based animated and live - action features . It was soon followed by two sequels , A New Generation ( 1986 ) and Adventure in Wonderland ( 1987 ) ; neither surpassed the original financially or critically . The Care Bears franchise continues and has included television series , specials , videos , and films .

Mr. Cherrywood tells the orphans a story about the Care Bears and Care - a-Lot , their home in the clouds . In the story , Friend Bear and Secret Bear travel looking for people to cheer up . They meet Kim and Jason , two lonely orphaned children , who lost their parents in a car accident . Friend Bear and Secret Bear introduce themselves and remind the children of their ambitions , but neither of them are interested . At an amusement park , Tenderheart Bear spots a magician 's apprentice named Nicholas . While unloading a trunk of goods for his master , the `` Great Fettucini '' , Nicholas finds an old book with a diary - style lock . When he unlocks it , an evil spirit appears as a woman 's face , and starts corrupting him . With his help , it lays waste to the park , and begins a quest to remove all caring from the world . Back at Care - a-Lot , some of the other bears are working on their new invention : the Rainbow Rescue Beam , a portal that can send any bear to Earth and back . The two Care Bear cubs belonging to Grams Bear , Baby Hugs and Baby Tugs , interfere with it and bring forth a group of unexpected visitors : Friend Bear , Secret Bear , Kim , and Jason . The bears introduce themselves to the children , and give them a tour of their home . Tenderheart Bear returns on his now out of control Rainbow Roller just before a `` Cloud Quake '' caused by the spirit , which ruins Care - a-Lot . He informs the others of Nicholas ' troubles on Earth . Using the Rainbow Rescue Beam , he sends Kim and Jason to the park , along with Friend Bear and Secret Bear . They end up in the Forest of Feelings when the portal malfunctions . From a nearby river , the rest of the bears begin searching for them aboard a cloud ship called the Cloud Clipper , leaving behind Good Luck Bear , Grumpy Bear , Grams Bear and the cubs in Care - a-Lot . Within the Forest , the children and their friends are introduced to Brave Heart Lion and Playful Heart Monkey , two of the Care Bear Cousins . Later on , the other bears discover more of these creatures , among them Cozy Heart Penguin , Lotsa Heart Elephant , Swift Heart Rabbit , and Bright Heart Raccoon . During their stay , the spirit attacks them in several disguises : a spearfish , tree , and eagle . After the Care Bears and their Cousins defeat it , they venture back to Earth to save Nicholas from its influence . At the park , Nicholas obtains the ingredients for his spell against the children and the creatures . After he casts it , the Care Bears and company engage in a long battle . The bears shoot beams of bright light on him , forming their `` Stare '' ; the Cousins help with their `` Call '' - Good Luck Bear and Grumpy Bear arriving in time to help after fixing the Rainbow Rescue Beam . As the creatures ' power drains away , Nicholas and the spirit briefly regain control . After Kim and Jason assist him , he finally realizes his misdeeds . With Secret Bear 's help , he closes the spirit 's face back into the book and saves himself , the park , and the world . He thanks the group and reunites with Fettucini , while Tenderheart Bear inducts the Care Bear Cousins into the Care Bear Family , and Kim and Jason find new parents who take them to one of Nicholas ' shows . As Mr. Cherrywood finishes his story , it is revealed that he is actually Nicholas ... and that his wife is actually Kim . ( Neither mentions what became of Jason . ) Tenderheart Bear , who has been listening from outside a window , returns to Care - a-Lot in his Cloudmobile .

That same year , the title characters made their debut on greeting cards by Elena Kucharik , while American Greetings began to develop a feature - length film using the characters . Kucharik , along with Linda Denham , Linda Edwards , Muriel Fahrion , Dave Polter , Tom Schneider , Ralph Shaffer , and Clark Wiley , created the original characters . Early in their tenure , the Bears appeared as toys from the Kenner company , and starred in two syndicated television specials from a Canadian animation studio , Atkinson Film - Arts of Ottawa : The Care Bears in the Land Without Feelings ( 1983 ) and The Care Bears Battle the Freeze Machine ( 1984 ) . Production of the first feature took place at another Canadian outlet , Toronto 's Nelvana studio . This came in a period in the company 's history which Nelvana co-founder Michael Hirsh refers to as its `` dark years '' . At the time , Nelvana had just finished production of its first full - length film , 1983 's Rock & Rule , which was produced using almost all of its resources ( for around US $8 million ) , and failed to find proper distribution . The film put them on the verge of closing down . Soon after , the Nelvana team began doing work on television shows like Inspector Gadget ( from DIC Entertainment ) , 20 Minute Workout ( from Orion Television ) , and Mr. Microchip . During this period , they also made syndicated specials based on American Greetings properties : Strawberry Shortcake , The Get Along Gang , and Herself the Elf . `` In some instances , '' noted Harvey Levin , vice-president of marketing and entertainment communications at TCFC , `` their capabilities ( on the Strawberry Shortcake specials ) surpassed Disney quality . '' Various companies vied to produce a Care Bears feature , and Nelvana was the first to do so ; Hirsh sought to seize the opportunity after hearing of its development . DIC Entertainment also expressed interest . Thanks to the Strawberry Shortcake specials and their experience on Rock & Rule , Nelvana acquired the rights to the characters and gained a contract from American Greetings to create the script . To convince the production partnership of TCFC and Kenner Toys , Hirsh held a competition inspired by Pepsi - Cola 's `` Pepsi Challenge '' commercials of the time , in which he tested clips from Nelvana and other vying studios and checked the `` animation quality , music , sound effects , and colour '' of each . He then asked the producers to decide on the best demo , and Nelvana scored highest . Hirsh later recalled the words of his partners : `` We know you 've rigged this against everybody else because you 've chosen the clips . But we like the approach . '' Producers and crew ( edit ) The Care Bears Movie was one of the first films to be based directly on an established toy line . It featured the ten original Bears , along with six additions to the line - up , and marked the media debut of the Care Bear Cousins . Produced for at least US $2 million , the film was financed by American Greetings , the owners of the Care Bears franchise ; General Mills , the toys ' distributor ; and television syndicator LBS Communications . The Kenner company also took part in the production . Brought in under budget , The Care Bears Movie became Nelvana 's second feature - length production , and was made over an eight - month period that lasted until February 1985 . Michael Hirsh is quoted as saying in Daniel Stoffman 's 2002 book , The Nelvana Story : `` Nobody had ever made an animated movie for theatrical release for as little money and in as little time . '' In 2009 his partner , Clive A. Smith , told Canadian Business magazine : `` I swear I grimaced at the thought of doing a Care Bears feature . But Michael ( Hirsh ) went out and actually brought that project in . '' Nelvana was responsible for the script , several special effects , including those for the `` Care Bear Stare '' , and hired musicians and voice actors . With this project , Arna Selznick became the third of only four women ever to direct an animated feature ; prior to this , she worked on several Nelvana productions , including Strawberry Shortcake and the Baby Without a Name . Nelvana 's founders -- Michael Hirsh , Patrick Loubert , and Clive A. Smith -- participated as the main producers . The studio 's roster included Charles Bonifacio , the director of animation , and supervising animator D. Brewster , who previously took part in the animation courses at Ontario 's Sheridan College . Dale Schott , who served as a storyboard artist , remarked that `` Nelvana had a lot to do with reviving the low - budget feature '' with its efforts on The Care Bears Movie . Four employees of the film 's financiers served as executive producers : Louis Gioia Jr. , president of Kenner 's Marketing Services division ; Jack Chojnacki , co-president of TCFC ; Carole MacGillvray , who became president of General Mills ' M.A.D. ( Marketing and Design ) division in February 1984 ; and Robert Unkel , LBS ' senior vice-president of programming . A fifth producer , American Greetings staffer W. Ray Peterson , went uncredited . Three associate producers worked on the film : Paul Pressler , another employee at Kenner ; John Bohach , who later became LBS ' executive vice-president ; and Harvey Levin . Lenora Hume , the director of photography on Rock & Rule , was the supervising producer . Animation ( edit ) Along with Inspector Gadget , The Care Bears Movie was Nelvana 's first foray into animation outsourcing . Production took place at Nelvana 's facilities , Taiwan 's Wang Film Productions ( Cuckoo 's Nest Studio ) , and the newly established Hanho Heung - Up and Mihahn studios in South Korea . Delaney and Friends , a Vancouver - based outlet , did uncredited work . Nelvana faced several problems with their Korean contractors , among them the language barrier between the Canadian crew and the overseas staff , and the unwieldy processes through which the film reels were shipped to the West . At one point , Loubert , Smith , and fellow staffer David Altman spent three days trying to persuade several unpaid animators to return important layout sketches . In exchange for the layouts , Nelvana gave them US $20,000 in Korean won . By then , the production was falling behind schedule , and an opening date was already set ; Loubert sent half of the work to Taiwan ( where Lenora Hume supervised ) , while the remainder stayed in Korea under Loubert 's and Smith 's watch . Back in the Americas , Hirsh tried to promote the unfinished feature before its deadline ; unable to get available footage , he instead managed to show potential marketers some Leica reels and a few moments of completed colour animation . According to him , it was the first time an animated `` work in progress '' was screened to exhibitors ; this ploy has since been used by the Disney company , particularly in the case of Beauty and the Beast ( at the 1991 New York Film Festival ) . `` People loved the movie anyway , '' he said of this experiment . `` I was told it was considered great salesmanship . It made ( them ) feel that they were part of the process because they were seeing unfinished work . '' Music ( edit ) The Care Bears Movie : Original Soundtrack Album US cover Soundtrack album by Carole King , John Sebastian , NRBQ , and the Tower of Power Released January 1 , 1985 Genre Children 's music / Soundtrack Label United States : Kid Stuff Records DAR 3901 ( LP ) / DT 4901 ( Cassette ) United Kingdom : Cherry Lane Records Producer Lou Adler John Sebastian Walt Woodward The music for The Care Bears Movie was composed by Patricia Cullen . The soundtrack album was released in LP and cassette format by Kid Stuff Records in the United States , and on Cherry Lane Records in the United Kingdom . Six songs were performed by Carole King , John Sebastian , NRBQ , and the Tower of Power ; actor Harry Dean Stanton had a guest appearance as Brave Heart Lion for the song `` Home is in Your Heart '' . The songs were produced by Lou Adler and John Sebastian , with additional lyrics and music by Ken Stephenson , Walt Woodward , and David Bird ; Nelvana crewmember Peter Hudecki prepared the song sequences . Before The Care Bears Movie , Sebastian contributed to several other Nelvana specials , including The Devil and Daniel Mouse ( 1978 ) . When asked to compose three tracks for the film , he learned about the characters since he was unfamiliar with the franchise . Despite his misgivings on the marketing aspects , Sebastian said in April 1985 , `` I think their central theme -- being candid about your feelings , sharing your feelings -- is a very positive message for children . '' Adele Freedman of Toronto 's The Globe and Mail wrote positively about the music in the film : A lot of caring has gone into the soundtrack . It does n't attack the eardrum in the manner of so much current kids ' stuff . It supposes that a child 's ear can discriminate between good music and aural pollution as well as anybody else 's . Carole King ( of Tapestry fame ) wrote and performed the theme song , `` Nobody Cares Like A Bear '' . ( sic ) The remaining songs , written by John Sebastian , are likewise entertaining and imaginatively arranged . The music does a lot to make the kingdom of Care - a-lot , where the goody - goody bears hang out on clouds monitoring life below on their Caring Meter , a slightly less irritable place . Other critics tended to differ . The Houston Chronicle 's Stephen Hunter found that `` the film integrates its music into the story very clumsily . It 's not merely that the numbers are forgettable -- they are -- it 's that they 're shoe - horned so obviously into the story that they do n't amplify it , they stop it cold . '' Likewise , Michael Blowen of The Boston Globe said that `` the uninspired songs ... add nothing to the banal plot .

An element from this scene was featured in an advertising campaign aimed at the film 's potential older viewers , despite its target audience being young children . In 1984 , before the film 's completion , Carole MacGillvray offered The Care Bears Movie for consideration to major studios in the US Since they did not see the financial potential in a picture aimed strictly at children , they declined the offer . MacGillvray told Adweek magazine in April 1985 , `` I made several trips , and I was really disappointed . They kept telling me things like ' Animated movies wo n't sell ' and ' Maybe we 'd consider it if you were Disney , ' but most just said , ' You 're very nice , good - bye . ' '' When few takers were left , she took it to the Samuel Goldwyn Company . A newcomer in the independent market , it agreed to release the film . Comparing the title characters ' appeal to Hollywood stars like Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford , founder Samuel Goldwyn Jr. remarked : `` Having my ( two ) children , I know these bears are stars , too . '' According to the 1985 edition of Guinness Film Facts and Feats , the Samuel Goldwyn Company spent up to US $24 million on the publicity budget for The Care Bears Movie , the largest at that time . The film 's advertising budget was US $4 million ; Variety reported that `` the beneficiaries of ( its ) merchandising tie - ins have earmarked ( the remaining ) $20,000,000 to promo Care Bear products in step with the film 's release '' . For the film 's promotion , Goldwyn 's staff partnered with Kenner Toys and the fast food chain Pizza Hut ; there were also tie - ins on Trix cereal boxes . Parker Brothers published two tie - in books , Meet the Care Bear Cousins and Keep On Caring , shortly after the film 's release ; both were reissued in October 1985 by Children 's Press . The Goldwyn staff came up with two advertising strategies , which tested well with the company -- one was aimed at the film 's target audience of children as young as age five ; another targeted grown - ups , parents , and older children . In the words of Cliff Hauser , the distributor 's executive director of marketing , `` We did n't want parents to think the movie was threatening . So the big debate was -- although the formula for success in animated film is the triumph of good over evil -- how can you do that in single - image ads ? '' Jeff Lipsky , vice-president of theatrical at Goldwyn , referred to the first one as `` the cheery approach '' ; ads therein featured the Care Bears on clouds , and carried the tagline `` A movie that 'll make the whole family care - a-lot '' . Hauser said , `` That 's one that a mother can look at and know she can take the 2 - year - old to it and not worry . '' The other campaign , which Lipsky called `` more Disney-esque '' , featured an evil tree whose hands reached out to capture the Bears ; its tagline , `` What happens when the world stops caring ? '' , was also seen on the official poster . Bingham Ray , Goldwyn 's vice-president of distribution , was involved in the promotional efforts . Around opening time , Hirsh predicted that The Care Bears Movie would be its decade 's response to Pinocchio and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , both from Walt Disney Productions . Loubert added , `` These characters say something important to children . Our challenge has been to create a very distinct character for each Care Bear . A lot of effort went into bringing out their individuality . '' Some time afterward , Hirsh conceded that parents had to come to the film , out of respect for the dark content within . `` Frightening scenes , '' he said , `` are a necessity for the reality of the hero and villain -- just as it works in nursery rhymes . Kids work out their fears this way . '' TCFC 's Jack Chojnacki offered this vindication in the Wall Street Journal : `` We consider a film one of the many products we license . When we started the whole Care Bears project we knew the importance of bears in the market but that there was a void . There were no specific bears . In the movie marketplace there was a void for good family - fare films . '' And , in the words of Carole MacGillvray , `` Toy recognition drives this movie . '' North America ( edit ) `` Nelvana has proven that pure , wholesome entertainment for the 2 - to - 10 age group can be successful . '' Edward Hansen , vice-president of animation , administration and production for Disney `` ( W ) hen watching a movie as sweet and tasty as The Care Bears Movie , a 4 - year - old girl needs to have all the luxuries a Saturday matinee brings to stay in the right mood . '' Dan Bennett , in a San Diego Union - Tribune report on the film 's popularity with young viewers `` The Care Bears Movie has become a word - of - mouth success -- out of the mouths of babes , so to speak . '' Betsy Sharkey The Care Bears Movie premiered in Washington , D.C. , on March 24 , 1985 , as part of a Special Olympics benefit ; Georgia Engel , the voice of Love - a-lot Bear , attended this event . The film opened on March 29 , 1985 , in the United States and Canada , as Nelvana 's first widely released feature . It became surprisingly successful at the North American box office , playing primarily at matinees and early evening showings . At the time , the North American film industry was bereft of children 's and family fare ; with The Care Bears Movie , Hirsh said , `` There 's such a large audience for a film that appeals primarily to 6 - year - olds . '' He remarked later on , `` What we 've done ( at Nelvana ) is tailor the film to a pre-literate audience , the very young . It 's interesting to see the audience . The kids are fixated on the screen . ( It 's ) awesome to them . '' Clive A. Smith observed that some children came to showings with their Bears ; long line - ups held back its audience in several cities . Among those attending the matinee screenings was John Waters , a filmmaker known for Pink Flamingos and Polyester . The film made an appearance at the USA Film Festival in Dallas , Texas , during its release . When shown in theatres , the feature was immediately followed by Nelvana 's TV special , Strawberry Shortcake Meets the Berrykins . It was directed by Laura Shepherd and produced by Nelvana 's founders along with Lenora Hume . The story involves Strawberry Shortcake and a tiny group of creatures called the Berrykins as they work to clear their home of Strawberryland of the `` world 's favourite perfume '' , a pungent odour which was unleashed from a purple cloud . LBS Communications syndicated it on US television around the time of The Care Bears Movie 's theatrical tenure ; a video release from Family Home Entertainment soon followed . The Care Bears Movie ranked fourth at the North American box office on its first two weekends , grossing US $3.7 million and US $3.2 million respectively . It was screened in 1,003 venues during its first four weeks . After three months , it grossed about US $23 million in the United States , and placed 40th among 1985 's major films ; it brought in US $9,435,000 in rentals for the Goldwyn company . In Canada , the film was released by Astral Films and Criterion Pictures Corporation , and made C $ 1,845,000 by the end of 1985 . It was the year 's highest - grossing release in that market , followed by Disney 's One Magic Christmas and a Quebec production called The Alley Cat ( Le Matou ) . Several months after The Care Bears Movie , Walt Disney Pictures released its animated feature The Black Cauldron . Costing US $25 million , it was the most expensive animated film of its time , but grossed nearly as much as Nelvana 's production ( US $21.3 million ) . As a result , The Care Bears Movie 's performance alarmed animators at the Disney Studios ; Don Bluth , a former recruit , dismissed the `` public taste '' factor that it demonstrated . Another animator , Ron Clements , later reflected on this : `` Everyone was kind of scared about the future of Disney animation . It was n't a good time . It was really a terrible time . '' This sentiment was echoed in Waking Sleeping Beauty , Disney 's 2010 documentary on the revival of its animation unit . While comparing The Black Cauldron with The Care Bears Movie , The Atlanta Journal - Constitution singled out the `` putrid pastels '' of Nelvana 's production and commented that they `` do n't even deserve to be mentioned in the same review . '' Months afterward , a re-issue of Disney 's One Hundred and One Dalmatians surpassed both The Care Bears Movie and The Black Cauldron , with over US $30 million in sales . Sometime after the film 's release , Children 's Video Library ( a division of Vestron Video ) picked up the video rights to The Care Bears Movie for US $1.8 million . It was released in the United States on July 10 , 1985 , in VHS and Betamax formats . On August 10 , 1985 , it debuted in 26th place on Billboard 's Top Videocassette Rentals chart . It ranked fourth on the first edition of the magazine 's Top Kid Video chart ( on October 5 ) . It was tracked by Video Insider 's children 's chart ( on August 30 , 1985 ) , as one of five toy - related titles on tape ( along with two compilations of Hasbro 's Transformers series ; another with Hallmark Cards ' Rainbow Brite ; and the last with Strawberry Shortcake ) . By 1988 , Vestron 's edition sold over 140,000 copies . In 1990 Video Treasures reissued it on videocassette ; on October 10 , 1995 , Hallmark Home Entertainment published another VHS edition as part of a six - title package from Goldwyn and Britain 's Rank Organisation . On September 5 , 2000 , MGM Home Entertainment re-released the film on video as part of its Family Entertainment Collection ; the DVD edition premiered on August 6 , 2002 , and was packaged with the 1978 British family film The Water Babies . In 2003 the film was inducted into the MGM Kids line . In honour of the Care Bears ' 25th anniversary , another DVD edition of the film was released on March 20 , 2007 , with restored picture quality ; it contained the franchise 's second Atkinson Film - Arts special , The Care Bears Battle the Freeze Machine , as an extra . American Greetings launched an official anniversary website and a Dodge Grand Caravan giveaway as part of the proceedings . By 2007 , home video sales of The Care Bears Movie totalled over five million units . The Care Bears Movie was scheduled to premiere on the US premium television network , Disney Channel , on June 28 , 1986 , but did so one month in advance . In September 1987 , the film made its terrestrial broadcast premiere on the ABC network 's Saturday morning schedule . It also aired on American Movie Classics in July 7 , 1991 , and on Showtime and The Movie Channel in the 2000s . The film aired on Starz Entertainment 's Encore channel in September 2007 , as part of its `` Big ' 80s '' Labour Day marathon , chronicling various releases from that decade . It was among the first films shown on Canada 's Moviepix channel in October 1994 . Overseas ( edit ) Amid the US and Canadian success of The Care Bears Movie , Goldwyn took the film to the 38th edition of the Cannes Film Festival , where it was highly received ; a group of costumed Care Bears strolled along the Croisette to promote the picture . Among its overseas distributors was Germany 's Filmwelt , which released it on March 20 , 1986 , under the title Der Glücksbärchi Film . It sold 538,487 tickets in that territory , placing 47th among new releases , and grossed over DM 4,013,000 ( € 2,051,600 ; US $2,868,000 ) . The film was released on VHS in October 1986 by the local division of CBS / Fox Video , and aired on national broadcaster ARD during the 1988 Christmas season . The Care Bears Movie was released in the United Kingdom by Miracle Films in August 1985 , and did well in matinee - only engagements ; a video edition from Vestron 's local branch came out some months later . In February 1986 the film was released by France 's Artédis under the franchise name Les Bisounours ; publishing rights were held by Hachette Livre . It opened on March 20 , 1986 , in the Netherlands as De Troetelbeertjes . On July 21 , 1986 , the Bermudez de Castro company opened the film in Madrid , Spain , as Los osos amorosos ; it grossed over 23,728,000 Pts ( € 142,606 ; US $199,500 ) from 93,294 admissions . Among that country 's Catalan speakers , it is known as Els Óssos Amorosos . The film was released in Czechoslovakia by Ústřední půjčovna filmů on December 1 , 1988 , as Starostliví medvídci . It was advertised in Italy as Orsetti del cuore , and in Poland as Opowieść o Troskliwych Misiach . In Mexico and most of South America , The Care Bears Movie was released on April 24 , 1986 , as Los ositos cariñositos . In Brazil , the film was promoted as As novas aventuras dos ursinhos carinhosos . Television airings occurred on Australia 's Nine Network in 1987 , and Malaysia 's TV2 ( in August 1993 ) and Disney Channel in April 2002 . Aftermath ( edit ) As opposed to Rock & Rule ( which Nelvana owned outright ) , the characters in The Care Bears Movie were the property of American Greetings , who paid Nelvana a service fee to work on the film . Nelvana , however , hardly received any profits from the production ; this caused its founders to express regret about the situation . In The Nelvana Story , Patrick Loubert explained the catch - 22 that they would face numerous times in the years to come : `` We could have waived our fee and taken a big piece of the film . We were offered that deal . But if we had waived the fee , we could n't have made the payroll . Once the picture was hugely successful , we thought we should have waived the fee . But we could n't have . '' At the time of production , Nelvana had begun embarking on service work that other companies provided them , not only to help ease the debts the studio incurred after Rock & Rule , but also because it proved profitable in due time . By 1989 , The Care Bears Movie made over US $34 million worldwide , according to Maclean 's magazine ; this made it the highest - grossing animated feature film to come from Canada . It became the highest - grossing animated film not produced by the Disney company , surpassing the US $11 million of Atlantic Entertainment Group 's 1983 release The Smurfs and the Magic Flute ; Don Bluth 's An American Tail ( 1986 ) and The Land Before Time ( 1988 ) later took over this position . As of 2018 , that title is held by Illumination Entertainment 's Minions ( 2015 ) , with US $1.157 billion . The film virtually saved a fledgling Nelvana from going out of business , and was the company 's highest - grossing venture . It is also among the highest - grossing releases from either incarnation of Samuel Goldwyn . Reception ( edit ) Critical analysis ( edit ) `` Movies for 6 - year - old girls are as scarce these days as hot fudge sundaes in the Sahara and , if The Care Bears Movie satisfies a first - grader 's craving for diversion , then I am satisfied . '' Scott Cain , The Atlanta Journal - Constitution `` No one but a grinch would point out that The Care Bears Movie has a strange similarity to a 75 - minute commercial for the snuggly little greeting card varmints on which it is based . `` No one but a craven wretch would stoop to pointing out that the animation in this theatrical release is no better than the goshawful techniques used to grind out those despicable Saturday morning TV cartoons . After all , even the Disney people are n't making them like the Disney people used to do . '' Arkansas Democrat - Gazette `` Understand that Care Bears : The Movie simply and logically in the merchandisers ' minds follows Care Bears : The Pyjamas , Care Bears : The Lunchboxes , Care Bears : The Pillow Cases and , of course , Care Bears : The Bears , the stuffed toys that started it all . '' Joe Fox , The Windsor Star `` These multi-coloured ursine cartoon characters , with names like Funshine Bear , Love - a-lot Bear , Baby Hugs Bear -- I wo n't go on -- are about as nourishing for children as sugar is for their teeth . Why even the Americans should bother to create this syrupy bear garden called Care - a-lot , dripping with singing quadrupeds who want to save the world from evil , is a mystery to anyone who has seen the fun and fibre that can be obtained from infinitely better children 's stories , especially the droll moral fables in Winnie the Pooh . '' Lain Johnstone , The Times The Care Bears Movie received mixed reviews . During its original release , The Care Bears Movie had varying degrees of success with critics . The New York Times ' Richard Grenier wrote , `` ( The film ) recalls vintage Walt Disney , both in substance and in the style of hand animation . '' Rick Lyman of Knight Ridder News Services said in his review : `` Any movie -- even an animated one -- that has characters with names such as Funshine Bear , Love - a-lot Bear , and Lotsa Heart Elephant is obviously going to rank quite high on the cute meter . And this one sends the needle right off the chart . You 've never seen such cuteness . '' Adele Freedman also gave it a positive review , commenting : `` ( It ) has a lot going for it if you can tolerate the Bears . '' Edward Jones of Virginia 's The Free Lance - Star praised it , but stated that `` More comedy would have helped broaden ( its ) appeal to older youngsters . '' The Deseret News of Utah gave it three stars out of four ( a `` Good '' grade ) with this comment : `` Sticky sweet , but a nice message . '' Michael Blowen began his review of the film by stating that `` ( it ) satisfies the primary obligation of a bedtime story -- before it 's half over the children will be fast asleep . '' He added that `` this sugar - coated trifle could only satisfy the most ardent Care Bears fan '' , and that `` the characters themselves lack definition '' . The Arkansas Democrat - Gazette said , `` Who except a callous scrooge would carp about the fact that The Care Bears Movie espouses a psychopop philosophy of ' sharing our feelings ' that seems drawn straight from the pages on one of those insufferable self - motivation tomes ? No one , that 's who . '' In the words of The Washington Post reviewer Paul Attanasio , `` The best cartoons recognize the dark side of kids , their penchant for violence , their fearful fantasies . ( This movie ) just patronizes them . It even has a child chortling , ' Are n't parents great ! ' Well , they are and they are n't , and kids know that . '' The animation in the film received mixed reviews as well . Adele Freedman praised the style and backgrounds , and called the special effects `` stunning '' . Likewise , John Stanley wrote that `` The style is cartoonish and cute '' in his 1988 film guide , Revenge of the Creature Features . While complimenting it as `` a harmless film diversion '' , Stephen Hunter said that `` the movie has the lustrous , glossy look of the very best in children 's book illustrations '' . `` On the other hand , '' he added , `` the producers obviously could n't afford an expensive ( multiplane ) camera , the staple of the Disney product , and so the scenes have a depressing flatness to them . And the backgrounds , so brilliantly developed in Disney , tend to be blurry and hastily done . '' Jim Moorhead of Florida 's The Evening Independent said , `` ( Nelvana 's ) animation is not the best . Far from it . Everything 's in pastels , fine details are largely missing , mouth movements are minimal and the motions of the figures are scarcely better than some of those awful Saturday morning cartoons on TV . '' The staff at Variety magazine stated that the `` style ... tends towards a primer reading level . '' Halliwell 's Film Guide called it `` sluggishly animated and narrated '' . As with the Atlanta Journal - Constitution , The New York Times ' Janet Maslin found that the quality paled in comparison to Disney features ( in this case , 1940 's Pinocchio ) . The Los Angeles Times ' Charles Solomon ( in his 1989 book Enchanted Drawings : The History of Animation ) , and Michael Janusonis of Rhode Island 's Providence Journal , faulted the plot . The Evening Independent 's Moorhead and Jim Davidson of the Pittsburgh Press noticed at least two parallel storylines in the film , one of which involved the magician Nicholas . The National Coalition on Television Violence counted at least 20 acts of violence throughout the picture . Critics questioned its purpose as a feature - length advertisement for Care Bears merchandise ; among them were Charles Solomon , Paul Attanasio , The Morning Call of Pennsylvania , and Bill Cosford of The Miami Herald . The Boca Raton News ' Skip Sheffield commented , `` I could n't help being bothered by the blatant commercialism of this whole venture . '' The British magazine Films and Filming remarked : `` The purpose of the film is presumably to sell more toys as it unashamedly pushes the message that without at least one Care Bear around life can be very lonely . '' Stoffman observed , `` one of the youngest target audiences of any animated movie '' , as did the Halliwell 's staff ; film critic Leonard Maltin ( in his Movie Guide ) ; and Henry Herx ( in his Family Guide to Movies on Video ) . The 1986 International Film Guide called it `` an elementary piece of animation lacking colour and character , with not much humour , quite lacking in charm , and indifferently scored '' . Maltin gave it two stars out of four in his Movie Guide ; similarly , the Gale Group publication , VideoHound 's Golden Movie Retriever , gave it two bones out of four in its 1997 edition . According to Derek Owen of Time Out 's Film Guide , `` Adults forced to accompany three - year - olds to the movie would have had a little moment of satisfaction when the time came to shovel the Care Bears toys out of the house into landfill sites . '' The mixed reception carried on in the years ahead : in her 1995 book Inside Kidvid , Loretta MacAlpine said of the film and its subsequent follow - ups , `` If you can hack the sugarcoated attitudes of this group of cuddly bears , more power to you ! There 's nothing insidious about the Care Bears , but their overbearing sweetness may not appeal to all viewers . '' She cautioned parents of the merchandising aspect behind the tapes . Dave Gathman of Illinois ' Courier - News wrote in 1998 , `` One Care Bears Movie ... can give all G - rated entertainment a bad name . '' In 2003 the Erie Times - News acknowledged its financial success , but commented on its `` lack of a creative title '' . Animation expert Jerry Beck wrote in his 2005 book , The Animated Movie Guide , `` It 's a simple , serviceable adventure with several standout sequences ... There 's no doubt about it , this is a children 's film aimed at the under - seven crowd . But it 's one of the better animated children 's films produced during this period . '' Allusions ( edit ) Critics of the film saw comparisons between the Spirit ( voiced by Jackie Burroughs ) and The Queen from Disney 's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs . In his Christian Science Monitor review , David Sterritt observed that The Care Bears Movie was mostly influenced by The Sorcerer 's Apprentice , a 1797 poem by German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , along with `` a trace of H.P. Lovecraft `` that probably was n't intended '' . He went on to say , `` I also noticed a subtle sexism at work . Why must it be the little girl ( Kim ) who dreams of being a nurse and the little boy ( Jason ) of being a jet pilot -- and not the other way around , to stimulate young imaginations instead of echoing past patterns ? '' Blowen wrote that the two children both get turned `` from cynics to idealists '' . Joe Fox of Ontario 's The Windsor Star , and Stephen Hunter , compared the Bears ' home of Care - a-lot to King Arthur 's mythical castle of Camelot ; Blowen commented that in this place , `` altruism is king '' . Hunter noted that `` the celestial physics are left vague '' , concerning Kim and Jason 's trip from Care - a-lot to the Forest of Feelings . Critics compared at least two aspects of the film to Disney 's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs : the Spirit received similarities to the Magic Mirror and the Wicked Queen , but Charles Solomon felt that the Bears lacked the individual qualities of the Dwarfs . Solomon noted that in animated features of that era , villains such as the Spirit `` lacked motivation -- if the viewer accepts their evil intentions , it 's only because he 's been told to '' . According to Tom Ogden ( in his 1997 book Wizards and Sorcerers : From Abracabadra to Zoroaster ) , the Bears ' Stare against the Spirit serves as a kind of white magic . `` Such a non-violent solution , '' wrote Bruce Bailey in The Montreal Gazette , `` should sit well with peace lobbyists '' . According to a 2005 article in The Times of London , an Internet reviewer called The Care Bears Movie `` a fine example of Christian socialism '' . Accolades ( edit ) At the 1985 Genie Awards in its native Canada , The Care Bears Movie won the Golden Reel Award for being the country 's highest - grossing film of the year . Ron Cohen , president of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television , presented the award to producers Hirsh , Loubert , and Smith . John Sebastian 's `` Nobody Cares Like a Bear '' received a Genie nomination for Best Original Song ; his performance was part of CBC 's live telecast of the ceremony on March 20 , 1986 . The film received a Young Artist Award nomination for `` Best Family Animation Series or Special '' , but lost to the CBS series The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show . During its 21st annual award ceremony on October 17 , 1985 , Nashville 's performance rights organization SESAC honoured Woodward and Bird for their songwriting efforts . Legacy ( edit ) In the words of Jerry Beck , `` ( The Care Bears Movie 's ) box - office gross signalled to Hollywood a renewed interest in animated features , albeit for children . This is something The Secret of NIMH tried to accomplish but failed to do . '' A plethora of children 's and family film entertainment followed in its wake , such as Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird from Warner Bros. , and a re-issue of Universal Studios ' E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial . Atlantic Releasing joined this movement by establishing Clubhouse Pictures , which showed G - rated films during 1986 . Nelvana 's film helped to bring back matinee engagements to prominence across North America . Mentioning The Care Bears Movie as `` the most recent example '' , Charles Solomon brought up the subject of feature - length toy adaptations in an April 1985 interview on Los Angeles ' KUSC - FM . He spoke to Warner Bros. animator Chuck Jones , who replied : `` I feel that it 's proper -- after all , that 's the way Alice in Wonderland was written : the dolls were all made first , then they made the picture about the dolls , right ? '' In July 1985 Sarah Stiansen of United Press International ( UPI ) called The Care Bears Movie `` another licensing innovation for TCFC '' , following the department 's previous endeavours . UPI 's Vernon Scott ( in 1985 ) , and Bruce A. Austin ( in his 1989 book Immediate Seating ) , observed how the merchandising arrived in advance of the film 's release . In forthcoming years , several media adaptations based on established toy lines would follow a similar marketing tactic . Examples included films based on Hasbro 's Transformers ( in 1986 and 2007 ) and My Little Pony ; features with Tonka 's Gobots ( Battle of the Rock Lords ) and Pound Puppies ( Legend of Big Paw ) ; and a television series and feature with Hallmark 's Rainbow Brite . The Care Bears Movie was parodied in `` At the Movies '' , a 1991 episode of Nickelodeon and Klasky Csupo 's animated series Rugrats . In that episode , the Pickles family goes to see The Land Without Smiles , starring the Dummi Bears ( who are patterned after the Care Bears ) . Follow - ups ( edit ) After the release of The Care Bears Movie , DIC Entertainment produced a syndicated 11 - episode television series featuring the title characters . Another series , Nelvana 's The Care Bears Family , premiered on ABC in the US and Canada 's Global in September 1986 , and was subsequently broadcast in 140 countries . Nelvana followed the first film with another two theatrical instalments , Care Bears Movie II : A New Generation ( 1986 ) and The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland ( 1987 ) ; neither made as much of a critical or commercial impact . A New Generation , released by Columbia Pictures , made over US $8.5 million in North America and US $12 million worldwide . Adventure in Wonderland was self - financed by Nelvana and released by Cineplex Odeon Films , and grossed US $2.608 million domestically , with worldwide earnings of US $6 million ; it barely recovered its costs . Because of this , Michael Hirsh later declared , `` It was just one sequel too many . '' The Bears returned for one more animated production , Care Bears Nutcracker Suite , which debuted on video and television in December 1988 . The franchise 's next feature film , 2004 's Journey to Joke - a-lot , also premiered on video ( via Lionsgate and Family Home Entertainment ) .

"The Care Bears Movie is a 1985 Canadian-American animated fantasy film and the second feature film from the Canadian animation studio Nelvana. One of the first films based directly on a toy line, it introduced the Care Bears characters and their companions the Care Bear Cousins.[nb 2] In the film, an orphanage owner (Mickey Rooney) tells a story about the Care Bears, who live in a cloud-filled land called Care-a-Lot. Traveling across Earth, the Bears help two lonely children named Kim and Jason find new parents, and also save a young magician's apprentice named Nicholas from an evil spirit's influence. Deep within a place called the Forest of Feelings, Kim, Jason, and their friends soon meet another group of creatures, the Care Bear Cousins.\n"

In October , when Hersheypark is decorated in a Halloween theme ( Hersheypark in the Dark ) , the ride is dubbed `` Scarerush . '' Contents 1 History 2 Awards 3 See also 4 References History ( edit ) The attraction was proposed to Derry Township on August 17 , 2010 . The attraction was described as reaching a maximum height of 212.6 - foot ( 64.8 m ) . In a subsequent meeting , the park shared a potential blueprint of a roller coaster . Preceding the announcement of the ride , Hersheypark engaged in a viral marketing campaign to promote the attraction ( called `` Project 2012 '' - see the sections below ) . The campaign released concepts about the attraction in a series of clues , though none of them were officially confirmed . However , certain things came out from governmental sources , due to the attraction 's interaction with Spring Creek , a creek that runs through the park . It includes work in and around the creek , the mentioned diagram , as well as a potential name of the ride , Skyrush . Part of Skyrush 's track Skyrush was announced on August 2 , 2011 , in the Comet Hollow section of Hersheypark , approximately where the station of the ride will be . An on - board POV video of the ride was shown , as well the announcement of the name , Skyrush . The ride will reach a maximum height of 212 feet ( 65 m ) , drop 200 feet ( 61 m ) , reach speeds of approximately 75 miles per hour ( 121 km / h ) , with a 3,600 - foot ( 1,100 m ) long track . The coaster will have trains that are of extended width of the traditional 2 - across Intamin trains with two additional seats that hang off the width of the chassis , allowing guests to `` ride on the edge . '' The other two Intamin coasters in the park : Fahrenheit and Storm Runner , have the two across trains . Each train weighs 13 tons when empty . By August 15 , 2011 , bright goldenrod painted pieces of single and double spine Intamin track began to appear at the park for the coaster 's construction . Then in December 2011 , the park added a webcam of the ride construction on their official website to allow park fans and roller coaster enthusiasts to watch the progress . On May 2 , 2012 , Hersheypark began testing Skyrush with water dummies and opened Skyrush to the public on May 26 , 2012 , attracting many more guests than usual at Hersheypark . Skyrush closed early in the 2012 season due to a maintenance issue and reopened April 6 , 2013 .

It is connected with the Oasis at the Gold Spike , a 50 - room three floor hotel located in downtown Las Vegas . It was owned by entrepreneur Tony Hsieh and his Downtown Project , having bought it from The Siegel Group ; and the casino was operated by Golden Gaming . Hsieh closed the casino on April 14 , 2013 . After a three - week remodel , Gold Spike re-opened the casino as a restaurant and bar on May 6 , 2013 . The hotel portion of the building was recently converted into permanent and temporary workforce housing for Downtown Project , entrepreneurs , and Zappos ; Oasis hotel is a separate building on the same property .

In 1983 Jackie Gaughan purchased the property after it had been closed for several months . Gold Spike hotel & casino ( 1985 - 2013 ) ( edit ) The Gold Spike for years has been known as an inexpensive hotel with few amenities . On December 6 , 2002 , Gaughan agreed to sell the Gold Spike and three other casinos to Barrick Gaming . This sale , along with several other downtown Las Vegas hotel / casinos , was completed in 2004 , for a combined total of about $82 million . Barrick Gaming Corp was in partnership with Tamares Group . After the purchase , management discontinued the table games and only offered slot machines . In a few years the property was offered for sale . Gold Spike shortly after its extensive remodeling in 2009 Remodeling of the bar after its purchase by Hsieh . On July 23 , 2007 , Greg Covin bought the property for $15.6 million with the intention of turning it into a boutique hotel . He sold it on February 4 , 2008 for $21 million to The Siegel Group . The Siegel Group set out to completely renovate the property and combine it with an old and forgotten 52 - room motel located next to the property . As one author wrote , the Gold Spike now has `` Quartz walls , tile floors , wood accents , and new everything '' , making it `` a very modern boutique hotel in the heart of downtown '' . The first floor , containing the gaming floor , the bar , and the restaurant , was completely renovated by February 2009 . By April 2010 , all guest floors and the exterior of the hotel has been completely remodeled and renovated . In May 2010 , the Oasis Pool opened , giving Gold Spike a swimming pool . In April 2013 , it was reported that the property 's debt had been acquired by Tony Hsieh 's Downtown Project , a campaign to revitalize downtown Las Vegas . Casino closure ( edit ) Siegel then announced that it had sold the Gold Spike to the Downtown Project , and that the casino would close on April 14 . Siegel retained rights to the Gold Spike name , and said that the company needed to dispose of smaller properties on its way to owning larger casinos on the Strip . Hsieh was reported to be considering several ideas for the property , including a boutique hotel , specialty retail space , or a club , but ruled out a casino , saying that he was `` trying to help build a community '' . In 2014 , Gold Spike reopened the former casino area as a bar and lounge with social games . Gold Spike renovated its top floor into a penthouse suite for the thirty - first season of the MTV television series Real World , Real World : Go Big or Go Home . This suite can now be rented by the public and it is in the Gold Spike property and not The Oasis . Oasis at the Gold Spike ( edit ) The adjacent 3 - story motel was originally built in 1962 as a 57 - room Travel Inn Motel . The property was abandoned , becoming a blight between the Fremont Street Experience and Las Vegas City Hall . The Siegel Group purchased this property in August 2007 for $5 million and started making plans to renovate it and reopen the property . Plans were put on hold when they purchased the neighboring Gold Spike . Finally , by April 2010 , the rooms had been completely renovated and renamed `` The Oasis at The Gold Spike '' and connected to the Gold Spike via an outdoor lounge and walkway . After a reconfiguration of the property , it was left with 50 - rooms , which have been modernized and turned into bungalow suites . The Oasis at the Gold Spike had the distinction of being the only downtown hotel with a Las Vegas Blvd . address . In May 2010 , the City of Las Vegas changed the entire Gold Spike property to this address .

Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( October 2015 ) Hyper - V A component of Windows Server Details Type Native hypervisor Included with Windows Server 2008 and later Select editions of Windows 8 and later Replaces Windows Virtual PC Related components App - V , MED - V , Remote Desktop Connection Microsoft Hyper - V , codenamed Viridian and formerly known as Windows Server Virtualization , is a native hypervisor ; it can create virtual machines on x86 - 64 systems running Windows . Starting with Windows 8 , Hyper - V superseded Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT . A server computer running Hyper - V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks . Hyper - V was first released alongside Windows Server 2008 , and has been available without charge for all the Windows Server and some client operating systems since . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Hyper - V Server 2 Architecture 3 System requirements 3.1 Microsoft Hyper - V Server 4 Supported guests 4.1 Windows Server 2008 R2 4.2 Linux support 4.3 Windows Server 2012 5 Backward compatibility 6 Limitations 6.1 Audio / Sound 6.2 Optical drives pass - through 6.3 Graphics issues on the host 6.4 Live migration 6.5 Degraded performance for Windows XP VMs 6.6 NIC teaming 6.7 Administration tools 6.8 VT - x handling 7 Client operating systems 8 Features added per version 8.1 Windows Server 2012 8.2 Windows Server 2012 R2 8.3 Windows Server 2016 9 See also 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links History ( edit ) A beta version of Hyper - V was shipped with certain x86 - 64 editions of Windows Server 2008 . The finalized version was released on June 26 , 2008 and was delivered through Windows Update . Hyper - V has since been released with every version of Windows Server . Microsoft provides Hyper - V through two channels : Part of Windows : Hyper - V is an optional component of Windows Server 2008 and later . It is also available in x64 SKUs of Pro and Enterprise editions of Windows 8 , Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 . Hyper - V Server : It is a freeware edition of Windows Server with limited functionality and Hyper - V component . Hyper - V Server ( edit ) Hyper - V Server 2008 was released on October 1 , 2008 . It consists of Windows Server 2008 Server Core and Hyper - V role ; other Windows Server 2008 roles are disabled , and there are limited Windows services . Hyper - V Server 2008 is limited to a command - line interface used to configure the host OS , physical hardware , and software . A menu driven CLI interface and some freely downloadable script files simplify configuration . In addition , Hyper - V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection . However , administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network , using either Microsoft Management Consoles on another Windows computer or System Center Virtual Machine Manager . This allows much easier `` point and click '' configuration , and monitoring of the Hyper - V Server . Hyper - V Server 2008 R2 ( an edition of Windows Server 2008 R2 ) was made available in September 2009 and includes Windows PowerShell v2 for greater CLI control . Remote access to Hyper - V Server requires CLI configuration of network interfaces and Windows Firewall . Also using a Windows Vista PC to administer Hyper - V Server 2008 R2 is not fully supported . Architecture ( edit ) Hyper - V architecture Hyper - V implements isolation of virtual machines in terms of a partition . A partition is a logical unit of isolation , supported by the hypervisor , in which each guest operating system executes . A hypervisor instance has to have at least one parent partition , running a supported version of Windows Server ( 2008 and later ) . The virtualization stack runs in the parent partition and has direct access to the hardware devices . The parent partition then creates the child partitions which host the guest OSs . A parent partition creates child partitions using the hypercall API , which is the application programming interface exposed by Hyper - V . A child partition does not have access to the physical processor , nor does it handle its real interrupts . Instead , it has a virtual view of the processor and runs in Guest Virtual Address , which , depending on the configuration of the hypervisor , might not necessarily be the entire virtual address space . Depending on VM configuration , Hyper - V may expose only a subset of the processors to each partition . The hypervisor handles the interrupts to the processor , and redirects them to the respective partition using a logical Synthetic Interrupt Controller ( SynIC ) . Hyper - V can hardware accelerate the address translation of Guest Virtual Address - spaces by using second level address translation provided by the CPU , referred to as EPT on Intel and RVI ( formerly NPT ) on AMD . Child partitions do not have direct access to hardware resources , but instead have a virtual view of the resources , in terms of virtual devices . Any request to the virtual devices is redirected via the VMBus to the devices in the parent partition , which will manage the requests . The VMBus is a logical channel which enables inter-partition communication . The response is also redirected via the VMBus . If the devices in the parent partition are also virtual devices , it will be redirected further until it reaches the parent partition , where it will gain access to the physical devices . Parent partitions run a Virtualization Service Provider ( VSP ) , which connects to the VMBus and handles device access requests from child partitions . Child partition virtual devices internally run a Virtualization Service Client ( VSC ) , which redirect the request to VSPs in the parent partition via the VMBus . This entire process is transparent to the guest OS . Virtual devices can also take advantage of a Windows Server Virtualization feature , named Enlightened I / O , for storage , networking and graphics subsystems , among others . Enlightened I / O is a specialized virtualization - aware implementation of high level communication protocols , like SCSI , that allows bypassing any device emulation layer and takes advantage of VMBus directly . This makes the communication more efficient , but requires the guest OS to support Enlightened I / O . Currently only the following operating systems support Enlightened I / O , allowing them therefore to run faster as guest operating systems under Hyper - V than other operating systems that need to use slower emulated hardware : Windows Server 2008 and later Windows Vista and later Linux with a 3.4 or later kernel FreeBSD System Requirements ( edit ) See also : Windows Server 2008 § System requirements Host operating system : The Hyper - V role is only available in the x64 variants of Windows Server 2008 , Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard , Enterprise or Datacenter edition , Windows Server 2012 Standard or Datacenter edition , Windows 8 ( or 8.1 ) Pro or Enterprise edition , or Windows 10 Pro , Education or Enterprise edition . It can be installed regardless of whether the installation is a full or core installation . Processor : An x86 - 64 processor Hardware - assisted virtualization support : This is available in processors that include a virtualization option ; specifically , Intel VT or AMD Virtualization ( AMD - V , formerly code - named `` Pacifica '' ) . An NX bit - compatible CPU must be available and Hardware Data Execution Prevention ( DEP ) must be enabled . Although this is not an official requirement , Windows Server 2008 R2 and a CPU with second - level address translation support are recommended for workstations . Second - level address translation is a mandatory requirement for Hyper - V in Windows 8 . Memory Minimum 2 GB . ( Each virtual machine requires its own memory , and so realistically much more . ) Minimum 4 GB if run on Windows 8 Windows Server 2008 Standard ( x64 ) Hyper - V full GUI or Core supports up to 31 GB of memory for running VMs , plus 1 GB for the Hyper - V parent OS . Maximum total memory per system for Windows Server 2008 R2 hosts : 32 GB ( Standard ) or 2 TB ( Enterprise , Datacenter ) . Maximum total memory per system for Windows Server 2012 hosts : 4 TB . Guest operating systems : Hyper - V in Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 supports virtual machines with up to 4 processors each ( 1 , 2 , or 4 processors depending on guest OS - see below ) Hyper - V in Windows Server 2012 supports virtual machines with up to 64 processors each . Hyper - V in Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 supports up to 384 VMs per system Hyper - V in Windows Server 2012 supports up to 1024 active virtual machines per system . Hyper - V in Windows Server 2016 supports up to 8000 active virtual machines per cluster and per node . Hyper - V supports both 32 - bit ( x86 ) and 64 - bit ( x64 ) guest VMs . Microsoft Hyper - V Server ( edit ) Stand - alone Hyper - V Server variant does not require an existing of Windows Server 2008 nor Windows Server 2008 R2 . The standalone installation is called Microsoft Hyper - V Server for the non-R2 version and Microsoft Hyper - V Server 2008 R2 . Microsoft Hyper - V Server is built with components of Windows and has a Windows Server Core user experience . None of the other roles of Windows Server are available in Microsoft Hyper - V Server . This version supports up to 64 VMs per system . System requirements of Microsoft Hyper - V Server are the same for supported guest operating systems and processor , but differ in the following : RAM : Minimum : 1 GB RAM ; Recommended : 2 GB RAM or greater ; Maximum 1 TB . Available disk space : Minimum : 8 GB ; Recommended : 20 GB or greater . Hyper - V Server 2012 R2 has the same capabilities as the standard Hyper - V role in Windows Server 2012 R2 and supports 1024 active VMs . Supported guests ( edit ) Windows Server 2008 R2 ( edit ) The following table lists supported guest operating systems on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 . Guest operating system Virtual CPUs OS Editions Number Architecture Windows Server 2012 Hyper - V , Standard , Datacenter 1 -- 4 x86 - 64 Windows Home Server 2011 Standard 1 -- 4 x86 - 64 Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Web , Standard , Enterprise , Datacenter 1 -- 4 x86 - 64 Windows Server 2008 SP2 Web , Standard , Enterprise , Datacenter 1 -- 4 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 Windows Server 2003 R2 SP3 Web , Standard , Enterprise , Datacenter 1 or 2 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 Windows 2000 SP4 Professional , Server , Advanced Server IA - 32 Windows 7 Professional , Enterprise , Ultimate 1 -- 4 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 Windows Vista Business , Enterprise , Ultimate 1 -- 4 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 Windows XP SP3 Professional 1 or 2 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP4 or 11 SP1 -- SP3 N / A 1 -- 4 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 -- 7.0 N / A 1 -- 4 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 CentOS 5.5 -- 7.0 N / A 1 -- 4 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 Ubuntu 12.04 -- 14.04 N / A 1 -- 4 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 Debian 7.0 N / A 1 -- 4 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 Oracle Linux 6.4 Red Hat Compatible Kernel 1 -- 4 IA - 32 , x86 - 64 Jump up ^ Windows Server 2012 is supported and runs only on a host system Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM or SP1 , with a hotfix applied . Jump up ^ Web edition does not have an x64 version . Fedora 8 or 9 are unsupported ; however , they have been reported to run . Third - party support for FreeBSD 8.2 and later guests is provided by a partnership between NetApp and Citrix . This includes both emulated and paravirtualized modes of operation , as well as several HyperV integration services . Windows 10 Home does not support Hyper - V . Desktop virtualization ( VDI ) products from third - party companies ( such as Quest Software vWorkspace , Citrix XenDesktop , Systancia AppliDis Fusion and Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect ) provide the ability to host and centrally manage desktop virtual machines in the data center while giving end users a full PC desktop experience . Guest operating systems with Enlightened I / O and a hypervisor - aware kernel such as Windows Server 2008 and later server versions , Windows Vista SP1 and later clients and offerings from Citrix XenServer and Novell will be able to use the host resources better since VSC drivers in these guests communicate with the VSPs directly over VMBus . Non - `` enlightened '' operating systems will run with emulated I / O ; however , integration components ( which include the VSC drivers ) are available for Windows Server 2003 SP2 , Windows Vista SP1 and Linux to achieve better performance . Xen - enabled Linux guest distributions can also be paravirtualized in Hyper - V. As of 2013 Microsoft officially supports only SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 / SP2 x86 and x64 Editions in this way , though any Xen - enabled Linux should be able to run . In February 2008 , Red Hat and Microsoft signed a virtualization pact for hypervisor interoperability with their respective server operating systems , to enable Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to be officially supported on Hyper - V . Linux support ( edit ) In July 2009 , Microsoft submitted Hyper - V drivers to the kernel , which improve the performance of virtual Linux guest systems in a Windows hosted environment . Microsoft was forced to submit the code when it was discovered that Microsoft had incorporated a Hyper - V network driver with GPL - licensed components statically linked to closed - source binaries . Hyper - V provides basic virtualization support for Linux guests out of the box . Paravirtualization support is , however , available by installing the Linux Integration Components or Satori InputVSC drivers . On July 20 , 2009 , Microsoft submitted these drivers for inclusion in the Linux kernel under the terms of the GPL , so that kernels from 2.6. 32 may include inbuilt Hyper - V paravirtualization support . Windows Server 2012 ( edit ) Hyper - V in Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 changes the support list above as follows : Hyper - V in Windows Server 2012 adds support for Windows 8.1 ( up to 32 CPUs ) and Windows Server 2012 R2 ( 64 CPUs ) ; Hyper - V in Windows Server 2012 R2 adds support for Windows 10 ( 32 CPUs ) and Windows Server 2016 ( 64 CPUs ) . Minimum supported version of CentOS is 6.0 . Minimum supported version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux is 5.7 . Maximum number of supported CPUs for Windows Server and Linux operating systems is increased from four to 64 . Backward compatibility ( edit ) Hyper - V , like Microsoft Virtual Server and Windows Virtual PC , saves each guest OS to a single virtual hard disk file . It supports the older . vhd format , as well as the newer . vhdx . Older . vhd files from Virtual Server 2005 , Virtual PC 2004 and Virtual PC 2007 can be copied and used in Hyper - V , but any old virtual machine integration software ( equivalents of Hyper - V Integration Services ) must be removed from the virtual machine . After the migrated guest OS is configured and started using Hyper - V , the guest OS will detect changes to the ( virtual ) hardware . Installing `` Hyper - V Integration Services '' installs five services to improve performance , at the same time adding the new guest video and network card drivers . Limitations ( edit ) Audio / sound ( edit ) Hyper - V does not virtualize audio hardware . Before Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 , it was possible to work around this issue by connecting to the virtual machine with Remote Desktop Connection over a network connection and use its audio redirection feature . Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 add the enhanced session mode which provides redirection without a network connection . Optical drives pass - through ( edit ) Optical drives virtualized in the guest VM are read - only . Officially Hyper - V does not support the host / root operating system 's optical drives to pass - through in guest VMs . As a result , burning to discs , audio CDs , video CD / DVD - Video playback are not supported ; however , a workaround exists using the iSCSI protocol . Setting up an iSCSI target on the host machine with the optical drive can then be talked to by the standard Microsoft iSCSI initiator . Microsoft produces their own iSCSI Target software or alternative third party products can be used . Graphics issues on the host ( edit ) On CPUs without Second Level Address Translation , installation of most WDDM accelerated graphics drivers on the primary OS will cause a dramatic drop in graphic performance . This occurs because the graphics drivers access memory in a pattern that causes the Translation lookaside buffer to be flushed frequently . In Windows Server 2008 , Microsoft officially supported Hyper - V only with the default VGA drivers , which do not support Windows Aero , higher resolutions , rotation , or multi-monitor display . However , unofficial workarounds were available in certain cases . Older non-WDDM graphics drivers sometimes did not cause performance issues , though these drivers did not always install smoothly on Windows Server . Intel integrated graphics cards did not cause TLB flushing even with WDDM drivers . Some NVidia graphics drivers did not experience problems so long as Windows Aero was turned off and no 3D applications were running . In Windows Server 2008 R2 , Microsoft added support for Second Level Address Translation to Hyper - V. Since SLAT is not required to run Hyper - V with Windows Server , the problem will continue to occur if a non-SLAT CPU is used with accelerated graphics drivers . However , SLAT is required to run Hyper - V on client versions of Windows 8 . Live migration ( edit ) Hyper - V in Windows Server 2008 does not support `` live migration '' of guest VMs ( where `` live migration '' is defined as maintaining network connections and uninterrupted services during VM migration between physical hosts ) . Instead , Hyper - V on Server 2008 Enterprise and Datacenter Editions supports `` quick migration '' , where a guest VM is suspended on one host and resumed on another host . This operation happens in the time it takes to transfer the active memory of the guest VM over the network from the first host to the second host . However , with the release of Windows Server 2008 R2 , live migration is supported with the use of Cluster Shared Volumes ( CSVs ) . This allows for failover of an individual VM as opposed to the entire host having to failover ( it seems that when a node ( Hyper - V server , not a VM ) fails then each `` VM running on the failed node '' may migrate to other live nodes independently of `` other VMs on the same LUN running on other nodes that share the LUN with the failed node '' . In Hyper - V we are clustering the Hyper - V nodes not the VMs . ) . See also Cluster Shared Volumes . Windows Server 2012 's implementation of Hyper - V ( Version 3.0 ) introduced many new features to increase VM mobility , including the ability to execute simultaneous live migrations ( Windows Server 2008 R2 only supported live migrating a single VM at a time , significantly increasing the time required to carry administrative tasks , such as draining a node for scheduled maintenance ) . The only real limiting factor here is hardware and network bandwidth available . Windows Server 2012 also supports a new `` shared nothing live migration '' option , where no traditional shared storage is required in order to complete a migration . Also referred to as `` Live System Migration '' , a shared nothing live migration will move a running VM and its storage from one Hyper - V host to another without any perceived downtime . Live Migration between different host OS versions is not possible , although this is soon to be addressed in Windows Server 2012 R2 . Windows Server 2012 also introduced the ability to use simple SMB shares as a shared storage option ( in conjunction with the new Scale out File Services role in Server 2012 for highly available environments ) , alleviating the need for expensive SANs . This is particularly useful for low budget environments , without the need to sacrifice performance due to the many new improvements to the SMB3 stack . Windows Server 2012 will fully support the live migration of VMs running on SMB shares , whether it be a live or live system migration . Hyper - V under Windows Server 2012 also supports the ability to migrate a running VM 's storage , whereby an active Virtual Machines storage can be moved from one infrastructure to another without the VM 's workload being affected , further reducing the limitations associated with VM mobility . With the introduction of Windows Server 2012 R2 , SMB 3.0 was introduced as a transport option for Live Migration , either between clustered or non-clustered virtualization hosts . This enables Hyper - V Live Migration to leverage the additional benefits that SMB 3.0 brings , such as SMB Multichannel and SMB Direct ( in conjunction with RDMA NICs ) for increased Live Migration performance . Degraded performance for Windows XP VMs ( edit ) Windows XP frequently accesses CPU 's APIC task - priority register ( TPR ) when interrupt request level changes , causing a performance degradation when running as guests on Hyper - V. Microsoft has fixed this problem in Windows Server 2003 and later . Intel adds TPR virtualization ( FlexPriority ) to VT - x on Intel Core 2 stepping E onwards to alleviate this problem . AMD has a similar feature on AMD - V but uses a new register for the purpose . This however means that the guest has to use different instructions to access this new register . AMD provides a driver called `` AMD - V Optimization Driver '' that has to be installed on the guest to do that . NIC teaming ( edit ) Network card teaming or link aggregation is n't supported if the NIC manufacturer supplied drivers support NIC teaming . However , Windows Server 2012 and thus the version of Hyper - V included with it supports software NIC teaming . Administration tools ( edit ) Hyper - V management tools are not compatible with Windows Vista Home Basic or Home Premium or Windows 7 Home Premium , Home Basic or Starter . Hyper - V 2012 can only be managed by Windows 8 , Windows Server 2012 or their successors . VT - x handling ( edit ) Hyper - V uses the VT - x x86 virtualization . Since Hyper - V is a native hypervisor , as long as it is installed , third - party software can not use VT - x . For instance , the HAXM Android device emulator ( used by Android Studio or Microsoft Visual Studio ) can not run while Hyper - V is installed . Client operating systems ( edit ) 64 - bit SKUs of Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise , or later , come with a special version Hyper - V called Client Hyper - V . Features added per version ( edit ) Windows Server 2012 ( edit ) Windows Server 2012 introduced many new features in Hyper - V . Hyper - V Extensible Virtual Switch Network virtualization Multi-tenancy Storage Resource Pools . vhdx disk format supporting virtual hard disks as large as 64 TB with power failure resiliency Virtual Fibre Channel Offloaded data transfer Hyper - V replica Cross-premises connectivity Cloud backup Windows Server 2012 R2 ( edit ) With Windows Server 2012 R2 Microsoft introduced another set of new features . Shared virtual hard disk Storage quality of service Virtual machine generation Enhanced session mode Automatic virtual machine activation Windows Server 2016 ( edit ) Hyper - V in Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 adds Nested virtualization ( Intel processors only , both the host and guest instances of Hyper - V must be Windows Server 2016 or Windows 10 or later ) Windows containers ( to achieve isolation at the app level rather than the OS level ) Shielded VMs using remote attestation servers Monitoring of host CPU resource utilization by guests and protection ( limiting CPU usage by guests ) See also ( edit ) Comparison of platform virtualization software Features new to Windows 8 Virtual disk image Microsoft Open Specification Promise Virtual private server References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Microsoft to ship Windows Server 2008 , over time , in eight flavors '' .

-3152114718338177718 | List of Olympic Games host cities | List of Olympic Games host cities - wikipedia List of Olympic Games host cities Jump to : navigation , search This is a list of host cities of the Olympic Games , both summer and winter , since the modern Olympics began in 1896 . Since then , summer games have usually -- but not always -- celebrated a four - year period known as an Olympiad . There have been 28 Summer Olympic Games held in 23 cities , and 23 Winter Olympic Games held in 20 cities . In addition , three summer and two winter editions of the Games were scheduled to take place but later cancelled due to war : Berlin ( summer ) in 1916 ; Tokyo / Helsinki ( summer ) and Sapporo / Garmisch - Partenkirchen ( winter ) in 1940 ; and London ( summer ) and Cortina d'Ampezzo , Italy ( winter ) in 1944 . The 1906 Summer Olympics were officially sanctioned and held in Athens . However , in 1949 , the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) , decided to unrecognize the 1906 Games . Four cities have been chosen by the IOC to host upcoming Olympic Games : Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics , Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics , Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics , and Los Angeles for the 2028 Summer Olympics . In 2022 , Beijing will become the only city that has held both the summer and the winter Olympic Games . Nine cities will have hosted the Olympic Games more than once : Athens ( 1896 and 2004 Summer Olympics ) , Paris ( 1900 , 1924 and 2024 Summer Olympics ) , London ( 1908 , 1948 and 2012 Summer Olympics ) , St. Moritz ( 1928 and 1948 Winter Olympics ) , Lake Placid ( 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics ) , Los Angeles ( 1932 , 1984 and 2028 Summer Olympics ) , Innsbruck ( 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics ) , Tokyo ( 1964 and 2020 Summer Olympics ) and Beijing ( 2008 Summer Olympics and 2022 Winter Olympics ) . In addition , Stockholm hosted the 1912 Summer Olympics and the equestrian portion of the 1956 Summer Olympics . London became the first city to have hosted three Games with the 2012 Summer Olympics . Paris will become the second city to do this with the 2024 Summer Olympics , followed by Los Angeles as the third in 2028 . The United States has hosted a total of eight Olympic Games , more than any other country , followed by France with five editions . Canada , Germany , Italy , Japan , and the United Kingdom have each hosted three Games . The Games have primarily been hosted in the continents of Europe ( 36 editions ) and North America ( 12 editions ) ; eight Games have been hosted in Asia and two have been hosted in Oceania . In 2016 , Rio de Janeiro became South America 's first Olympic host city , while the African continent has yet to hold the Games . Other major geographic regions which have never hosted the Olympics include the Middle East , the Indian subcontinent , the Caribbean , and Southeast Asia . Host cities are selected by the IOC membership , usually seven years in advance . The selection process lasts approximately two years . In the first stage , any city in the world may submit an application to become a host city . After 10 months , the Executive Board of the IOC decides which applicant city will become official candidates as based on the recommendation of a working group that reviews the applications . In a second stage , the candidate cities are investigated thoroughly by an Evaluation Commission , which then submits a final short list of cities to be considered for selection . The host city is then chosen by vote of the IOC session , a general meeting of IOC members .

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

Ripley began adding items unrelated to sports , and in October 1919 , he changed the title to Believe It or Not . When the Globe folded in 1923 , Ripley moved to the New York Evening Post . That same year , Ripley hired Norbert Pearlroth as his researcher , and Pearlroth spent the next 52 years of his life in the New York Public Library , working ten hours a day and six days a week in order to find unusual facts for Ripley . Other writers and researchers included Lester Byck . In 1930 , Ripley moved to the New York American and was picked up by the King Features Syndicate , being quickly syndicated on an international basis . Those working on the syndicated newspaper panel after Ripley included Joe Campbell ( 1946 -- 1956 ) , Art Sloggatt ( 1917 -- 1975 ) , Clem Gretter ( 1941 -- 1949 ) , Carl Dorese , Bob Clarke ( 1943 -- 1944 ) , Stan Randall , Paul Frehm ( 1938 -- 1978 ; he became the full - time artist in 1949 ) , and his brother Walter Frehm ( 1948 -- 1989 ) ; Walter worked part - time with his brother Paul and became a full - time Ripley artist from 1978 to 1989 . Paul Frehm won the National Cartoonists Society 's Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for 1976 for his work on the series . Clarke later created parodies of Believe It or Not ! for Mad , as did Wally Wood and Ernie Kovacs , who also did a recurring satire called `` Strangely Believe It ! '' on his TV programs . The current artist is John Graziano and current researcher is Sabrina Sieck . At the peak of its popularity , the syndicated feature was read daily by about 80 million readers , and during the first three weeks of May 1932 alone , Ripley received over two million pieces of fan mail . Dozens of paperback editions reprinting the newspaper panels have been published over the decades . Other strips and books borrowed the Ripley design and format , such as Ralph Graczak 's Our Own Oddities , John Hix 's Strange as it Seems , and Gordon Johnston 's It Happened in Canada . Recent Ripley 's Believe It or Not ! books containing new material have supplemented illustrations with photographs . Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz 's first publication of artwork was published by Ripley . It was a cartoon claiming his dog was `` a hunting dog who eats pins , tacks , screws , nails and razor blades . '' Schulz 's dog Spike later became the model for Peanuts ' Snoopy .

The company produces the New York Times bestselling Ripley 's Believe It or Not ! Annuals , the children 's fiction series Ripley 's RBI , an educational series called the Ripley 's Twists , the Ripley 's Believe It or Not ! Special Edition in conjunction with Scholastic USA and a number of other titles . At the height of his popularity Robert Ripley received thousands of letters a day from the public , and Ripley Entertainment continues to encourage submissions from readers who have strange stories and photographs that could be featured in Ripley 's Believe It or Not ! books and media . The people whose items are featured in such books as Strikingly True , have what Edward Meyer , Vice President of Exhibits and Archives at Ripley Entertainment Inc. describes as an obsession . `` Whatever it is they 're after , it is so important to them that all the rest of the world can go on without them . They want to make something that makes them immortal , makes them a little different than you and me . '' Despite the wide range of true and unbelievable art , sculpture , photographs , interactive devices , animal oddities , and recycled objects contained within the Ripley 's collection , rarely considered are alien or witchcraft - type stories , which are , according to Meyers , difficult to prove . To be included in Ripley 's Believe It or Not books , museums , or television shows , items must undergo scrutiny from Ripley 's staff and be 100 % authenticated . Radio ( edit ) On April 14 , 1930 , Ripley brought `` Believe It or Not '' to radio , the first of several series heard on NBC , CBS and the Mutual Broadcasting System . As noted by Ripley On Radio , Ripley 's broadcasts varied in length from 15 minutes to 30 minutes and aired in numerous different formats . When Ripley 's 1930 debut on The Collier Hour brought a strong listener reaction , he was given a Monday night NBC series beginning April 14 , 1930 , followed by a 1931 -- 32 series airing twice a week . After his strange stories were dramatized on NBC 's Saturday Party , Ripley was the host of The Baker 's Broadcast from 1935 to 1937 . He was scheduled in several different 1937 -- 38 NBC timeslots and then took to the road with popular remote broadcasts . See America First with Bob Ripley ( 1938 -- 40 ) on CBS expanded geographically into See All the Americas , a 1942 program with Latin music . In 1944 , he was heard five nights a week on Mutual in shows with an emphasis on World War II . Romance , Rhythm and Ripley aired on CBS in 1945 , followed by Pages from Robert L. Ripley 's Radio Scrapbook ( 1947 -- 48 ) . Robert Ripley is known for several radio firsts . He was the first to broadcast nationwide on a radio network from mid-ocean , and he also participated in the first broadcast from Buenos Aires to New York . Assisted by a corps of translators , he was the first to broadcast to every nation in the world simultaneously . As the years went on , the show became less about oddities and featured guest - driven entertainment such as comedy routines . Sponsors over the course of the program included Pall Mall cigarettes and General Foods . The program ended its successful run in 1948 as Ripley prepared to convert the show format to television . Films , television , Internet , and computer game ( edit ) The newspaper feature has been adapted into more than a few films and TV shows . Film ( edit ) Ripley hosted a series of two dozen Believe It or Not ! theatrical short films between 1930 and 1932 for Warner Bros. Vitaphone .

Ripley 's short films were parodied in a 1939 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon titled Believe It or Else . Released on June 25 , 1939 , directed by Tex Avery and written by Dave Monahan , it featured a running gag in which Egghead ( a prototype Elmer Fudd ) appeared to declare , `` I do n't believe it ! '' On 5 November of the same year , another Avery documentary parody , Fresh Fish , was released . Written by Jack Miller , this cartoon 's running gag was a two - headed fish that kept swimming onto the screen to ask , `` Pardon me , but can you tell me where I can find Mister Ripley ? '' 20th Century Fox produced another film short titled Acquitted By The Sea , released September 27 , 1940 , produced by Truman Talley and directed by Earl Allvine . This told an unusual story involving the Titanic . Planned film ( edit ) On October 4 , 2004 , Paramount Pictures announced plans for a film that would chronicle the life of Robert Ripley . The film would be produced by James Jacks and his Alphaville Films company , associated with Paramount . Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski were hired to write the script . Jacks explained , `` It 's about the exploits of Robert Ripley , one of the most popular newspaper cartoonists in the ' 30s and ' 40s , who was well known for going around the world and looking for oddities and getting into adventures while doing so . We want to make a series of movies that , if not quite the truth , are the adventures that should have happened . '' Jacks also said , `` We want to turn it into an Indiana Jones , a goofy version , as played by Johnny Depp . When they saw we had the writers from Larry Flynt , they thought that we wanted to make the kinky version , but we saw a chance to do a Spielberg - type movie with one of their characters . '' On November 29 , 2005 , it was announced that Tim Burton would direct the film , with Jim Carrey starring as Robert Ripley . Filming was to begin in October 2006 , for a 2007 release . Paramount hinted that the film , if successful , could be the start of a Ripley 's film series . In addition to Jacks , Sean Daniel and Richard D. Zanuck were also to serve as producers for the film . Zanuck spent six weeks in China to scout filming locations for the project . On June 12 , 2006 , Paramount delayed the start of production on the film for at least a year because its projected budget went over the allowed $150 million . Carrey had waived his entire upfront salary to help keep costs low , but the project remained over budget . Burton and Carrey also wanted to have Alexander and Karaszewski make changes to the film 's script to focus more on Ripley 's Believe It or Not column . Carrey was adamant on avoiding what happened with his previous project , Fun with Dick and Jane , which required reshoots and additional editing as a result of beginning production without a script . Filming had been scheduled to begin in China in November 2006 . Although Paramount could have delayed production to spring 2007 , the film was delayed further to allow Burton to film Sweeney Todd . In December 2006 , Burton and Carrey approved writer Steve Oedekerk to rewrite the script . Oedekerk had worked with Carrey on several previous projects . Production was to begin in China in winter 2008 , for a 2009 release . In January 2007 , Zanuck said he was no longer involved with the project , and that he was unaware that it was proceeding . Oedekerk 's draft was completed in June 2007 , and was approved that month by Paramount , Burton , and Carrey . At that time , Carrey hoped to have production finished by summer 2008 . Later that month , it was reported that Paramount may be searching for a new director . In October 2008 , Chris Columbus pitched an idea for the film that was approved by Carrey and Paramount . Columbus ' idea involved scrapping the previous China - based storyline entirely . Negotiations were underway that month to hire Columbus as director , with plans to hire a writer afterwards . Paramount planned to release the film in 2011 , and hoped that it would be the start of a Ripley 's film series . In January 2011 , Eric Roth was hired to write the script , with Carrey still attached to star . Ken Atchity and Chi - Li Wong joined the project as producers , alongside Jacks and Daniel .

One claim which had previously appeared in Ripley 's books , concerning an accidental execution of 1,200 Turkish prisoners ordered under Napoleon Bonaparte , has had its accuracy called into question by Snopes . Ripley 's has reported the urban legend of Frank Tower - an individual who was supposed to have survived the sinkings of the RMS Titanic , RMS Empress of Ireland , and RMS Lusitania - as being factual . However , this story has been debunked by several sources .

"Ripley first called his cartoon feature, originally involving sports feats, Champs and Chumps, and it premiered on December 19, 1918, in the New York Globe. Ripley began adding items unrelated to sports, and in October 1919, he changed the title to Believe It or Not. When the Globe folded in 1923, Ripley moved to the New York Evening Post. That same year, Ripley hired Norbert Pearlroth as his researcher, and Pearlroth spent the next 52 years of his life in the New York Public Library, working ten hours a day and six days a week in order to find unusual facts for Ripley.[1]"

Crowd reaction is heard on audio . Play media Time - lapse footage of Falls Park on the Reedy in Greenville , South Carolina during the eclipse The solar eclipse of August 21 , 2017 was a total eclipse visible within a band across the entire contiguous United States , passing from the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts . As a partial solar eclipse , it was visible on land from Nunavut in northern Canada to as far south as northern South America . In northwestern Europe and Africa , it was partially visible in the late evening . In Asia it was visible only at the eastern extremity , the Chukchi Peninsula . Play media Video of shadow bands on the ground as seen in Simpsonville , South Carolina . Prior to this event , no solar eclipse had been visible across the entire contiguous United States since June 8 , 1918 ; not since the February 1979 eclipse had a total eclipse been visible from anywhere in the mainland United States . The path of totality touched 14 states , and the rest of the U.S. had a partial eclipse . The area of the path of totality was about 16 percent of the area of the United States , with most of this area over the ocean , not land . The event 's shadow began to cover land on the Oregon coast as a partial eclipse at 4 : 05 p.m. UTC ( 9 : 05 a.m. PDT ) , with the total eclipse beginning there at 5 : 16 p.m. UTC ( 10 : 16 a.m. PDT ) ; the total eclipse 's land coverage ended along the South Carolina coast at about 6 : 44 p.m. UTC ( 2 : 44 p.m. EDT ) . Visibility as a partial eclipse in Honolulu , Hawaii began with sunrise at 4 : 20 p.m. UTC ( 6 : 20 a.m. HST ) and ended by 5 : 25 p.m. UTC ( 7 : 25 a.m. HST ) . This total solar eclipse marked the first such event in the smartphone and social media era in America . Information , personal communication , and photography were widely available as never before , capturing popular attention and enhancing the social experience . Logistical problems were expected with the influx of visitors , especially for smaller communities . The sale of counterfeit eclipse glasses was also anticipated to be a hazard for eye injuries . Future total solar eclipses will cross the United States in April 2024 ( 12 states ) and August 2045 ( 10 states ) , and annular solar eclipses -- wherein the Moon appears smaller than the Sun -- will occur in October 2023 ( 9 states ) and June 2048 ( 9 states ) .

The dot in the centre of the moving oval represents the path of totality . View of the lunar shadow tracking across Earth from the Deep Space Climate Observatory ( DSCOVR ) satellite The total eclipse had a magnitude of 1.0306 and was visible within a narrow corridor 70 miles ( 110 km ) wide , crossing fourteen of the contiguous United States : Oregon , Idaho , Montana , Wyoming , Nebraska , Kansas , Iowa , Missouri , Illinois , Kentucky , Tennessee , Georgia , North Carolina , and South Carolina . It was first seen from land in the U.S. shortly after 10 : 15 a.m. PDT ( 17 : 15 UTC ) at Oregon 's Pacific coast , and then it progressed eastward through Salem , Oregon ; Idaho Falls , Idaho ; Casper , Wyoming ; Lincoln , Nebraska ; Kansas City , Missouri ; St. Louis , Missouri ; Hopkinsville , Kentucky ; Nashville , Tennessee ; Columbia , South Carolina about 2 : 41 p.m. ; and finally Charleston , South Carolina . A partial eclipse was seen for a greater time period , beginning shortly after 9 : 00 a.m. PDT along the Pacific Coast of Oregon . Weather forecasts predicted clear skies in Western U.S. and some Eastern states , but clouds in the Midwest and East Coast . The longest ground duration of totality was 2 minutes 41.6 seconds at about 37 ° 35 ′ 0 '' N 89 ° 7 ′ 0 '' W / 37.58333 ° N 89.11667 ° W / 37.58333 ; - 89.11667 in Giant City State Park , just south of Carbondale , Illinois , and the greatest extent ( width ) was at 36 ° 58 ′ 0 '' N 87 ° 40 ′ 18 '' W / 36.96667 ° N 87.67167 ° W / 36.96667 ; - 87.67167 near the village of Cerulean , Kentucky , located in between Hopkinsville and Princeton . This was the first total solar eclipse visible from the Southeastern United States since the solar eclipse of March 7 , 1970 . Two NASA WB - 57F flew above the clouds , prolonging the observation time spent in the umbra . A partial solar eclipse was seen from the much broader path of the Moon 's penumbra , including all of North America , particularly areas just south of the totality pass , where the eclipse lasted about 3 -- 5 hours , northern South America , Western Europe , and some of Africa and north - east Asia . Other eclipses over the United States ( edit ) This was the first total solar eclipse visible from the United States since that of July 11 , 1991 -- which was seen only from part of Hawaii -- and the first visible from the contiguous United States since 1979 . An eclipse of comparable length ( up to 3 minutes , 8 seconds , with the longest eclipse being 6 minutes and 54 seconds ) occurred over the contiguous United States on March 7 , 1970 along the southern portions of the Eastern Seaboard , from Florida to Virginia . The path of totality of the solar eclipse of February 26 , 1979 crossed only the states of Washington , Oregon , Idaho , Montana , and North Dakota . Many enthusiasts traveled to the Pacific Northwest to view the eclipse , since it would be the last chance to view such an eclipse in the contiguous United States for almost four decades . Some American scientists and interested amateurs who wanted to experience a total eclipse participated in a four - day Atlantic Ocean cruise to view the solar eclipse of July 10 , 1972 as it passed near Nova Scotia . ( This is referenced in the Carly Simon hit song `` You 're So Vain '' in the lyric , `` Then you flew your Lear Jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the Sun . '' ) Organizers of the cruise advertised in astronomical journals and in planetarium announcements , emphasizing the rarity of the event . The path of totality across the United States The August 2017 eclipse was the first with a path of totality crossing the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the U.S. since 1918 . Also , its path of totality made landfall exclusively within the United States , making it the first such eclipse since the country 's declaration of independence in 1776 . Prior to this , the path of totality of the eclipse of June 13 , 1257 , was the last to make landfall exclusively on lands currently part of the United States . The path of the 2017 eclipse crosses with the path of the upcoming total solar eclipse of April 8 , 2024 , with the intersection of the two paths being in southern Illinois in Makanda Township at Cedar Lake , just south of Carbondale . An area of about 9,000 square miles , including the cities of Makanda , Carbondale , Cape Girardeau , Missouri , and Paducah , Kentucky , will thus experience two total solar eclipses within a span of less than seven years . The cities of Benton , Carbondale , Chester , Harrisburg , Marion , and Metropolis in Illinois ; Cape Girardeau , Farmington , and Perryville in Missouri , as well as Paducah , Kentucky , will also be in the path of the 2024 eclipse , thereby earning the distinction of witnessing two total solar eclipses in seven years . The solar eclipse of August 12 , 2045 will have a very similar path of totality over the U.S. to the 2017 eclipse : about 400 km ( 250 mi ) to the southwest , also crossing the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the country ; however , totality will be more than twice as long .

A viewing party was held at the White House , during which President Donald Trump appeared on the Truman Balcony with First Lady Melania Trump . With the sun partially eclipsed , President Trump looked briefly in the general direction of the sun before using solar viewing glasses . The rapper Joey Badass boasted of watching the solar eclipse without viewing glasses , considering that `` our ancestors ai n't have no fancy eyewear ( and ) they ai n't all go blind '' . Unlike the US president , he did not wear viewing glasses during the entire eclipse . Later , he complained of vision problems and had to cancel his Cleveland , Chicago & Toronto shows on the Everybody Tour , due to `` unforeseen circumstances '' . The eclipse generated reports of abnormal behavior in animal and plant life . Some farm animals including domestic chickens came out from under their coops and began grooming , usually an evening activity . Horses also displayed increased whinnying , running , and jumping after the event . Cicadas were reported to grow louder before going silent during totality . Various birds were also observed flying in unusually large formations . Flowers such as the Hibiscus closed their petals which typically happens at night , before opening again after the solar event . NASA reported over 90 million page views of the eclipse on its websites , making it the agency 's biggest online event ever , beating the previous web traffic record about seven times over . Counterfeit eclipse glasses ( edit ) See also : Solar viewer In the months leading up to the eclipse , many counterfeit glasses were put up for sale . Effective eclipse glasses must not only block most visible light , but most UV and infrared light as well . For visible light , the user should only be able to see the Sun , sunglint reflected off shiny metal , halogen bulbs , the filament in unfrosted incandescent bulbs , and similarly intense sources . Determining whether the glasses effectively block enough UV and infrared light requires the use of spectrophotometer , which is a rather expensive piece of lab equipment . The eye 's retina lacks pain receptors , and thus damage can occur without one 's awareness . The American Astronomical Society ( AAS ) said products meeting the ISO 12312 - 2 standard avoid risk to one 's eyes , and issued a list of reputable vendors of eclipse glasses . The organization warned against products claiming ISO certification or even citing the same number , but not tested by an accredited laboratory . Another problem was counterfeits of reputable vendors ' products , some even claiming the company 's name such as with American Paper Optics which published information detailing the differences between its glasses and counterfeits . Andrew Lund , the owner of a company which produces eclipse glasses , noted that not all counterfeit glasses were necessarily unsafe . He stated to Quartz that the counterfeits he tested blocked the majority of harmful light spectrum , concluding that `` the IP is getting ripped off , but the good news is there are no long - term harmful effects . '' As one example , the Springdale Library in metropolitan Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , accidentally passed out dozens of pairs of counterfeit eclipse glasses , but as of August 23 had not received any reports of eye damage . On July 27 , 2017 , Amazon required all eclipse viewing products sold on its website have a submission of origin and safety information , and proof of an accredited ISO certification . In mid-August 2017 , Amazon recalled and pulled listings for eclipse viewing glasses that `` may not comply with industry standards '' , and gave refunds to customers who had purchased them . Eye damage ( edit ) Short - term damage includes solar keratitis , which is similar to sunburn of the cornea . Symptoms usually occur within twenty - four hours and include eye pain and light sensitivity . Long - term or permanent damage includes solar retinopathy , which occurs when the sun burns a hole in the retina , usually at the fovea ( the focus of the retina ) . Symptoms can occur as long as several weeks after the incident , and can include loss of central vision and / or other vision , as well as eye pain and light sensitivity , afterimages , and changes in color vision . Depending on the severity of damage , vision problems can last for several months or be permanent . Dr. Avnish Deobhakta , an ophthalmologist in New York , states that , `` `` If you 're looking at the sun you 're actually focusing , intentionally , the light of the sun onto the spot ( fovea ) where you want the most precise vision . '' Following a total eclipse in the United Kingdom in 1999 , at least 14 cases of permanent damage were confirmed . One story of solar eclipse danger was illustrated by the case of Mr. Tomososki , who damaged his eyesight when viewing a 1962 eclipse , leaving him with a pea - sized blind spot for the rest of his life . During the 2017 eclipse he warned the country to not make the mistake he did . While some can recover , the danger of an eclipse comes in part because the excitement can override the instinct to not look at the sun .

Smaller towns struggled to arrange viewing sites and logistics for what could have been a tourism boom or a disaster . In the American West , illegal camping was a major concern , including near cities like Jackson Hole , Wyoming . Idaho 's Office of Emergency Management said Idaho was a prime viewing state , and advised jurisdictions to prepare for service load increases ; nearly every hotel and motel room , campground , and in some cases backyards for nearly 100 miles ( 160 km ) north and south of the path of totality had been reserved several months , if not years , in advance . The state anticipated up to 500,000 visitors to join its 1.6 million residents . Oregon deployed six National Guard aircraft and 150 soldiers because the influx of visitors coincided with the state 's fire season . Hospital staffing , and supplies of blood and anti -- snake bite antidote , were augmented along the totality line . In Oregon , there were reports of hoteliers canceling existing reservations made at the regular market rate and increasing their rate , sometimes threefold or more , for guests staying to view the eclipse . The Oregon Department of Justice ( DOJ ) investigated various complaints and reached settlements with affected customers of at least 10 hotels in the state . These settlements included refunds to the customers and fines paid to the DOJ . Post-eclipse traffic problems ( edit ) Although traffic to areas within the path of totality was somewhat spread out over the days prior to the eclipse , there were widespread traffic problems across the United States after the event ended . Michael Zeiler , an eclipse cartographer , had estimated that between 1.85 million and 7.4 million people would travel to the path of the eclipse . In Oregon , an estimated one million people were expected to arrive that the Oregon National Guard was called in to help manage traffic in Madras along US 26 and US 97 . Madras Municipal Airport received more than 400 mostly personal planes that queued for hours while waiting to leave after the eclipse . Officials in Idaho , where the totality path crossed the center of the state , began planning for the eclipse a year in advance . The state Transportation Department suspended construction projects along Interstate 15 , which traverses Eastern Idaho , from August 18 -- 22 in order to have all lanes open ; their counterparts in neighboring Utah , where many were expected to travel the 220 miles ( 350 km ) north via the highway from the Salt Lake City metropolitan area , did the same . On the morning of the eclipse , many drivers left before dawn , creating traffic volume along I - 15 normally not seen until morning rush hour ; northbound traffic on the interstate in Box Elder County north of Salt Lake City slowed to 10 -- 15 miles per hour ( 16 -- 24 km / h ) . The Idaho State Police ( ISP ) stationed a patrol car along I - 15 every 15 miles ( 24 km ) between Shelley and the Utah border . Traffic backed up on I - 15 / US 26 south of Idaho Falls After the eclipse , traffic more than doubled along I - 15 southbound , with extensive traffic jams continuing for eight hours as viewers who had traveled north into the totality path from Utah returned there and to points south . The ISP tweeted a picture of bumper - to - bumper traffic stalled on the interstate just south of Idaho Falls . Motorists reported to local news outlets that it was taking them two hours to travel the 47 miles ( 76 km ) from that city to Pocatello to the south , a journey that normally takes 45 minutes , and another hour to reach Blackfoot , 30 miles ( 48 km ) further south . In the rest of the state the impact was less severe . Traffic nearly doubled on US 93 , and was up 55 percent on US 20 . For some northbound travelers on I - 15 , the Montana Department of Transportation had failed to make similar plans to those in Idaho , scheduling a road construction project to begin on August 21 that narrowed a section of the highway to a single northbound lane near the exit to Clark Canyon Dam south of Dillon . Though that stretch of highway generally has a traffic count of less than 1000 vehicles per day , on the day of the eclipse there were over a thousand vehicles per hour at peak times . As a result , traffic backed up as far as Lima , creating a delay of at least an hour for travelers heading northward . Further , as construction had not yet begun , drivers observed cones set up but no workers present on the road . While the state traditionally halts construction projects during high traffic periods , a state official admitted `` we ... probably made a bad mistake here in this regard . '' Traffic waiting to get on Interstate 25 at Glendo , Wyoming , after the eclipse In Wyoming , estimates were that the population of the state , officially 585,000 , may have doubled or even tripled , with traffic counts on August 21 showing 536,000 more cars than the five - year average for the third Monday in August ; a 68 percent increase . One official offered an estimate of `` two people in every car '' to arrive at a one - million - visitor figure , and others noted that one million was a conservative estimate based on a one - day traffic count of limited portions of major highways . There were additional arrivals by aircraft , plus travelers who arrived early or stayed for additional days . Two days before the eclipse , traffic increased 18 percent over a five - year average , with an additional 131,000 vehicles on the road . Sunday saw an additional 217,000 - vehicle increase . Following the eclipse , more than 500,000 vehicles traveled Wyoming roads , creating large traffic jams , particularly on southbound and eastbound highways . Drivers reported that it took up to 10 hours to travel 160 miles ( 260 km ) into northern Colorado . There was one traffic fatality , and another fatality related to an off - highway ATV accident , but in general there were far fewer incidents and traffic citations than authorities had anticipated . In Tennessee , the Knoxville News Sentinel described the traffic problems created by the eclipse as the worst ever seen in that part of the state . One backup along Interstate 75 reached 34 miles ( 55 km ) in length , between Niota and the Interstate 40 interchange at Farragut . A spokesman for the state 's Department of Transportation allowed that the traffic jams were the worst he had seen in six and a half years on the job , noting that accidents had aggravated the already heavy traffic flows , attributed the I - 75 congestion to Knoxville - area residents heading for the totality path at Sweetwater and returning during what was the city 's normal afternoon rush hour . Before the eclipse , state officials had described their traffic expectations as equivalent to that generated by the Bonnaroo Music Festival , the twice - a-season NASCAR Monster Energy Cup races at Bristol or the formerly - held Boomsday fireworks festival . `` Maybe they should have considered a tsunami of traffic combining all three of those heavily attended events '' , the News Sentinel commented . The Tennessee Highway Patrol made sure that `` ( e ) very trooper not on sick leave or military leave or pre-approved leave ( wa ) s working '' the day of the eclipse ; the state DOT made sure its full complement of emergency - aid HELP trucks were available as well . Alert signs on the highways also warned motorists not to pull over onto the shoulders to watch the eclipse as it could increase the risk of dangerous accidents and block the path of emergency vehicles . In North Carolina , the Department of Transportation added cameras , message boards and safety patrols in the counties where the total eclipse would take place , as well as stopping road work . The department warned that due to `` unprecedented '' traffic ordinary activities requiring driving might prove difficult , and advised people to act as if there were snow . Impact on solar power ( edit ) An eclipse causes a reduction of solar power generation where the Moon shadow covers any solar panel , as do clouds . The North American Electric Reliability Corporation predicted minor impacts , and attempted to measure the impact of the 2017 eclipse . In California , solar power was projected to decrease by 4 -- 6,000 megawatts at 70 MW / minute , and then ramp up by 90 MW / minute as the shadow passes . CAISO 's typical ramp rate is 29 megawatts per minute . Around 4 GW mainly in North Carolina and Georgia were expected to be 90 percent obscured . After the 2017 eclipse , grid operators in California reported having lost 3,000 -- 3,500 megawatts of utility - scale solar power , which was made up for by hydropower and gas reliably and as expected , mimicking the usual duck curve . Energy demand management was also used to mitigate the solar drop . NV Energy prepared for the solar eclipse months in advance and collaborated with 17 western states . When the eclipse began covering California with partial darkness , which reduced its usual amount of solar - generated electricity , NV Energy sent power there . Likewise , when Nevada received less sunlight , other west coast states supplied electricity to it . During the solar eclipse , the state of Nevada lost about 450 megawatts of electricity , the amount used by about a quarter million typical residences . The 2015 eclipse caused manageable solar power decreases in Europe ; in Germany , solar power dropped from 14 GW to 7 GW , of a 38 GW solar power capacity . Commemorative stamp ( edit ) Main article : 2017 Total Solar Eclipse stamp On June 20 , 2017 , the United States Postal Service released the first application of thermochromic ink to postage stamps in its Total Eclipse of the Sun Forever stamp to commemorate the solar eclipse of August 21 , 2017 . When pressed with a finger , body heat turns the black circle in the center of the stamp into an image of the full moon . The stamp image is a photo of the solar eclipse of March 29 , 2006 seen in Jalu , Libya . The photo was taken by retired NASA astrophysicist Fred Espenak . Related eclipses ( edit ) Photograph of the 1871 eclipse . Solar eclipses are prized by artists and scientists alike because they allow for the normally obscured corona of the Sun to be photographed ( see Astrophotography ) . Astronomers Without Borders began collecting eclipse glasses for redistribution to Latin America for the total solar eclipse occurring on July 2 , 2019 and to Asia for the annular eclipse on December 26 , 2019 . A partial lunar eclipse took place on August 7 , 2017 , in the same eclipse season . It was visible over Africa , Asia , Australia , and eastern Europe . Solar eclipses 2015 -- 2018 ( edit ) Each member in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours ( a semester ) at alternating nodes of the Moon 's orbit .

Saros series 145 ( edit ) This solar eclipse is a part of Saros cycle 145 , repeating every 18 years , 11 days , 8 hours , containing 77 events . The series started with a partial solar eclipse on January 4 , 1639 , and reached a first annular eclipse on June 6 , 1891 . It was a hybrid event on June 17 , 1909 , and total eclipses from June 29 , 1927 , through September 9 , 2648 . The series ends at member 77 as a partial eclipse on April 17 , 3009 . The longest eclipse will occur on June 25 , 2522 , with a maximum duration of totality of 7 minutes , 12 seconds .

"The solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 was a total eclipse visible within a band across the entire contiguous United States, passing from the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts. As a partial solar eclipse, it was visible on land from Nunavut in northern Canada to as far south as northern South America. In northwestern Europe and Africa, it was partially visible in the late evening. In Asia it was visible only at the eastern extremity, the Chukchi Peninsula."

Holder ( 2013 ) The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a landmark piece of federal legislation in the United States that prohibits racial discrimination in voting . It was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson during the height of the Civil Rights Movement on August 6 , 1965 , and Congress later amended the Act five times to expand its protections . Designed to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution , the Act secured the right to vote for racial minorities throughout the country , especially in the South . According to the U.S. Department of Justice , the Act is considered to be the most effective piece of federal civil rights legislation ever enacted in the country . The Act contains numerous provisions that regulate elections . The Act 's `` general provisions '' provide nationwide protections for voting rights . Section 2 is a general provision that prohibits every state and local government from imposing any voting law that results in discrimination against racial or language minorities . Other general provisions specifically outlaw literacy tests and similar devices that were historically used to disenfranchise racial minorities . The Act also contains `` special provisions '' that apply to only certain jurisdictions . A core special provision is the Section 5 preclearance requirement , which prohibits certain jurisdictions from implementing any change affecting voting without receiving preapproval from the U.S. Attorney General or the U.S. District Court for D.C. that the change does not discriminate against protected minorities . Another special provision requires jurisdictions containing significant language minority populations to provide bilingual ballots and other election materials . Section 5 and most other special provisions apply to jurisdictions encompassed by the `` coverage formula '' prescribed in Section 4 ( b ) . The coverage formula was originally designed to encompass jurisdictions that engaged in egregious voting discrimination in 1965 , and Congress updated the formula in 1970 and 1975 . In Shelby County v. Holder ( 2013 ) , the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the coverage formula as unconstitutional , reasoning that it was no longer responsive to current conditions . The Court did not strike down Section 5 , but without a coverage formula , Section 5 is unenforceable .

After the Civil War , the three Reconstruction Amendments were ratified and limited this discretion . The Thirteenth Amendment ( 1865 ) prohibits slavery ; the Fourteenth Amendment ( 1868 ) grants citizenship to anyone `` born or naturalized in the United States '' and guarantees every person due process and equal protection rights ; and the Fifteenth Amendment ( 1870 ) provides that `` ( t ) he right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race , color , or previous condition of servitude . '' These Amendments also empower Congress to enforce their provisions through `` appropriate legislation '' . To enforce the Reconstruction Amendments , Congress passed the Enforcement Acts in the 1870s . The Acts criminalized the obstruction of a citizen 's voting rights and provided for federal supervision of the electoral process , including voter registration . However , in 1875 the Supreme Court struck down parts of the legislation as unconstitutional in United States v. Cruikshank and United States v. Reese . After the Reconstruction Era ended in 1877 , enforcement of these laws became erratic , and in 1894 , Congress repealed most of their provisions . Southern states generally sought to disenfranchise racial minorities during and after Reconstruction . From 1868 to 1888 , electoral fraud and violence throughout the South suppressed the African - American vote . From 1888 to 1908 , Southern states legalized disenfranchisement by enacting Jim Crow laws ; they amended their constitutions and passed legislation to impose various voting restrictions , including literacy tests , poll taxes , property - ownership requirements , moral character tests , requirements that voter registration applicants interpret particular documents , and grandfather clauses that allowed otherwise - ineligible persons to vote if their grandfathers voted ( which excluded many African Americans whose grandfathers had been slaves or otherwise ineligible ) . During this period , the Supreme Court generally upheld efforts to discriminate against racial minorities . In Giles v. Harris ( 1903 ) , the Court held that irrespective of the Fifteenth Amendment , the judiciary did not have the remedial power to force states to register racial minorities to vote . In the 1950s , the Civil Rights Movement increased pressure on the federal government to protect the voting rights of racial minorities . In 1957 , Congress passed the first civil rights legislation since Reconstruction : the Civil Rights Act of 1957 . This legislation authorized the Attorney General to sue for injunctive relief on behalf of persons whose Fifteenth Amendment rights were denied , created the Civil Rights Division within the Department of Justice to enforce civil rights through litigation , and created the Commission on Civil Rights to investigate voting rights deprivations . Further protections were enacted in the Civil Rights Act of 1960 , which allowed federal courts to appoint referees to conduct voter registration in jurisdictions that engaged in voting discrimination against racial minorities . Although these acts helped empower courts to remedy violations of federal voting rights , strict legal standards made it difficult for the Department of Justice to successfully pursue litigation . For example , to win a discrimination lawsuit against a state that maintained a literacy test , the Department needed to prove that the rejected voter - registration applications of racial minorities were comparable to the accepted applications of whites . This involved comparing thousands of applications in each of the state 's counties in a process that could last months . The Department 's efforts were further hampered by resistance from local election officials , who would claim to have misplaced the voter registration records of racial minorities , remove registered racial minorities from the electoral rolls , and resign so that voter registration ceased . Moreover , the Department often needed to appeal lawsuits several times before the judiciary provided relief because many federal district court judges opposed racial minority suffrage . Thus , between 1957 and 1964 , the African - American voter registration rate in the South improved only marginally even though the Department litigated 71 voting rights lawsuits . Congress responded to rampant discrimination against racial minorities in public accommodations and government services by passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . The Act included some voting rights protections ; it required registrars to equally administer literacy tests in writing to each voter and to accept applications that contained minor errors , and it created a rebuttable presumption that persons with a sixth - grade education were sufficiently literate to vote . However , despite lobbying from civil rights leaders , the Act did not prohibit most forms of voting discrimination . President Lyndon B. Johnson recognized this , and shortly after the 1964 elections in which Democrats gained overwhelming majorities in both chambers of Congress , he privately instructed Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach to draft `` the goddamndest , toughest voting rights act that you can '' . However , Johnson did not publicly push for the legislation at the time ; his advisers warned him of political costs for vigorously pursuing a voting rights bill so soon after Congress had passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , and Johnson was concerned that championing voting rights would endanger his Great Society reforms by angering Southern Democrats in Congress . Following the 1964 elections , civil rights organizations such as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference ( SCLC ) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee ( SNCC ) pushed for federal action to protect the voting rights of racial minorities . Their efforts culminated in protests in Alabama , particularly in the city of Selma , where County Sheriff Jim Clark 's police force violently resisted African - American voter registration efforts . Speaking about the voting rights push in Selma , James Forman of SNCC said : Our strategy , as usual , was to force the U.S. government to intervene in case there were arrests -- and if they did not intervene , that inaction would once again prove the government was not on our side and thus intensify the development of a mass consciousness among blacks . Our slogan for this drive was `` One Man , One Vote . '' In January 1965 , Martin Luther King , Jr. , James Bevel , and other civil rights leaders organized several demonstrations in Selma that led to violent clashes with police . These marches received national media coverage and drew attention to the issue of voting rights . King and other demonstrators were arrested during a march on February 1 for violating an anti-parade ordinance ; this inspired similar marches in the following days , causing hundreds more to be arrested . On February 4 , civil rights leader Malcolm X gave a militant speech in Selma in which he said that many African Americans did not support King 's nonviolent approach ; he later privately said that he wanted to frighten whites into supporting King . The next day , King was released and a letter he wrote addressing voting rights , `` Letter From A Selma Jail '' , appeared in The New York Times . With the nation paying increasing attention to Selma and voting rights , President Johnson reversed his decision to delay voting rights legislation , and on February 6 , he announced he would send a proposal to Congress . However , he did not reveal the proposal 's content or when it would come before Congress . On February 18 in Marion , Alabama , state troopers violently broke up a nighttime voting - rights march during which officer James Bonard Fowler shot and killed young African - American protester Jimmie Lee Jackson , who was unarmed and protecting his mother . Spurred by this event , and at the initiation of Bevel , on March 7 SCLC and SNCC began the Selma to Montgomery marches in which Selma residents proceeded to march to Alabama 's capital , Montgomery , to highlight voting rights issues and present Governor George Wallace with their grievances . On the first march , demonstrators were stopped by state and county police on horseback at the Edmund Pettus Bridge near Selma . The police shot tear gas into the crowd and trampled protesters . Televised footage of the scene , which became known as `` Bloody Sunday '' , generated outrage across the country . In the wake of the events in Selma , President Johnson , addressing a televised joint session of Congress on March 15 , called on legislators to enact expansive voting rights legislation . He concluded his speech with the words `` we shall overcome '' , a major theme of the Civil Rights Movement . The legislation that Johnson referred to was the Voting Rights Act of 1965 , which was introduced in Congress two days later while civil rights leaders , now under the protection of federal troops , led a march of 25,000 people from Selma to Montgomery . Legislative history ( edit ) President Lyndon B. Johnson , Martin Luther King , Jr. , and Rosa Parks at the signing of the Voting Rights Act on August 6 , 1965 Original bill ( edit ) Senate ( edit ) The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was introduced in Congress on March 17 , 1965 as S. 1564 , and it was jointly sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield ( D - MT ) and Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen ( R - IL ) , both of whom had worked with Attorney General Katzenbach to draft the bill 's language . Although Democrats held two - thirds of the seats in both chambers of Congress after the 1964 Senate elections , Johnson worried that Southern Democrats would filibuster the legislation , as they had opposed other civil rights efforts . He enlisted Dirksen to help gain Republican support . Dirksen did not originally intend to support voting rights legislation so soon after supporting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , but he expressed willingness to accept `` revolutionary '' legislation after learning about the police violence against marchers in Selma on Bloody Sunday . Given Dirksen 's key role in helping Katzenbach draft the legislation , it became known informally as the `` Dirksenbach '' bill . After Mansfield and Dirksen introduced the bill , 64 additional Senators agreed to cosponsor it , with a total 46 Democratic and 20 Republican cosponsors . The bill contained several special provisions that targeted certain state and local governments : a `` coverage formula '' that determined which jurisdictions were subject to the Act 's other special provisions ( `` covered jurisdictions '' ) ; a `` preclearance '' requirement that prohibited covered jurisdictions from implementing changes to their voting procedures without first receiving approval from the U.S. Attorney General or the U.S. District Court for D.C. that the changes were not discriminatory ; and the suspension of `` tests or devices '' , such as literacy tests , in covered jurisdictions . The bill also authorized the assignment of federal examiners to register voters , and of federal observers to monitor elections , to covered jurisdictions that were found to have engaged in egregious discrimination . The bill set these special provisions to expire after five years . The scope of the coverage formula was a matter of contentious Congressional debate . The coverage formula reached a jurisdiction if : ( 1 ) the jurisdiction maintained a `` test or device '' on November 1 , 1964 , and ( 2 ) less than 50 % of the jurisdiction 's voting - age residents either were registered to vote on November 1 , 1964 or cast a ballot in the November 1964 presidential election . This formula reached few jurisdictions outside the Deep South . To appease legislators who felt that the bill unfairly targeted Southern jurisdictions , the bill included a general prohibition on racial discrimination in voting that applied nationwide . The bill also included provisions allowing a covered jurisdiction to `` bail out '' of coverage by proving in federal court that it had not used a `` test or device '' for a discriminatory purpose or with a discriminatory effect during the 5 years preceding its bailout request . Additionally , the bill included a `` bail in '' provision under which federal courts could subject discriminatory non-covered jurisdictions to remedies contained in the special provisions . The bill was first considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee , whose chair , Senator James Eastland ( D - MS ) , opposed the legislation with several other Southern Senators on the committee . To prevent the bill from dying in committee , Mansfield proposed a motion to require the Judiciary Committee to report the bill out of committee by April 9 , which the Senate overwhelmingly passed by a vote of 67 to 13 . During the committee 's consideration of the bill , Senator Ted Kennedy ( D - MA ) led an effort to amend the bill to prohibit poll taxes . Although the Twenty - fourth Amendment -- which banned the use of poll taxes in federal elections -- was ratified a year earlier , Johnson 's administration and the bill 's sponsors did not include a provision in the voting rights bill banning poll taxes in state elections because they feared courts would strike down the legislation as unconstitutional . Additionally , by excluding poll taxes from the definition of `` tests or devices '' , the coverage formula did not reach Texas or Arkansas , mitigating opposition from those two states ' influential congressional delegations . Nonetheless , with the support of liberal committee members , Kennedy 's amendment to prohibit poll taxes passed by a 9 - 4 vote . In response , Dirksen offered an amendment that exempted from the coverage formula any state that had at least 60 % of its eligible residents registered to vote or that had a voter turnout that surpassed the national average in the preceding presidential election . This amendment , which effectively exempted all states from coverage except Mississippi , passed during a committee meeting in which three liberal members were absent . Dirksen offered to drop the amendment if the poll tax ban were removed . Ultimately , the bill was reported out of committee on April 9 by a 12 - 4 vote without a recommendation . On April 22 , the full Senate started debating the bill . Dirksen spoke first on the bill 's behalf , saying that `` legislation is needed if the unequivocal mandate of the Fifteenth Amendment ... is to be enforced and made effective , and if the Declaration of Independence is to be made truly meaningful . '' Senator Strom Thurmond ( R - SC ) retorted that the bill would lead to `` despotism and tyranny '' , and Senator Sam Ervin ( D - NC ) argued that the bill was unconstitutional because it deprived states of their right under Article I , Section 2 of the Constitution to establish voter qualifications and because the bill 's special provisions targeted only certain jurisdictions . On May 6 , Ervin offered an amendment to abolish the coverage formula 's automatic trigger and instead allow federal judges to appoint federal examiners to administer voter registration . This amendment overwhelmingly failed , with 42 Democrats and 22 Republicans voting against it . After lengthy debate , Ted Kennedy 's amendment to prohibit poll taxes also failed 49 - 45 on May 11 . However , the Senate agreed to include a provision authorizing the Attorney General to sue any jurisdiction , covered or non-covered , to challenge its use of poll taxes . An amendment offered by Senator Robert Kennedy ( D - NY ) to enfranchise English - illiterate citizens who had attained at least a sixth - grade education in a non-English - speaking school also passed by 48 - 19 . Southern legislators offered a series of amendments to weaken the bill , all of which failed . On May 25 , the Senate voted for cloture by a 70 - 30 vote , thus overcoming the threat of filibuster and limiting further debate on the bill . On May 26 , the Senate passed the bill by a 77 - 19 vote ( Democrats 47 - 16 , Republicans 30 - 2 ) ; only Senators representing Southern states voted against it .

See media help . Emanuel Celler ( D - NY ) , Chair of the House Judiciary Committee , introduced the Voting Rights Act in the House of Representatives on March 19 , 1965 as H.R. 6400 . The House Judiciary Committee was the first committee to consider the bill . The committee 's ranking Republican , William McCulloch ( R - OH ) , generally supported expanding voting rights , but he opposed both the poll tax ban and the coverage formula , and he led opposition to the bill in committee . The committee eventually approved the bill on May 12 , but it did not file its committee report until June 1 . The bill included two amendments from subcommittee : a penalty for private persons who interfered with the right to vote , and a prohibition of all poll taxes . The poll tax prohibition gained Speaker of the House John McCormack 's support . The bill was next considered by the Rules Committee , whose chair , Howard W. Smith ( D - VA ) , opposed the bill and delayed its consideration until June 24 , when Celler initiated proceedings to have the bill discharged from committee . Under pressure from the bill 's proponents , Smith allowed the bill to be released a week later , and the full House started debating the bill on July 6 . To defeat the Voting Rights Act , McCulloch introduced an alternative bill , H.R. 7896 . It would have allowed the Attorney General to appoint federal registrars after receiving 25 serious complaints of discrimination about a jurisdiction , and it would have imposed a nationwide ban on literacy tests for persons who could prove they attained a sixth - grade education . McCulloch 's bill was co-sponsored by House Minority Leader Gerald Ford ( R - MI ) and supported by Southern Democrats as an alternative to the Voting Rights Act . The Johnson administration viewed H.R. 7896 as a serious threat to passing the Voting Rights Act . However , support for H.R. 7896 dissipated after William M. Tuck ( D - VA ) publicly said he preferred H.R. 7896 because the Voting Rights Act would legitimately ensure that African Americans could vote . His statement alienated most supporters of H.R. 7896 , and the bill failed on the House floor by a 171 - 248 vote on July 9 . Later that night , the House passed the Voting Rights Act by a 333 - 85 vote ( Democrats 221 - 61 , Republicans 112 - 24 ) . Conference committee ( edit ) The chambers appointed a conference committee to resolve differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill . A major contention concerned the poll tax provisions ; the Senate version allowed the Attorney General to sue states that used poll taxes to discriminate , while the House version outright banned all poll taxes . Initially , the committee members were stalemated . To help broker a compromise , Attorney General Katzenbach drafted legislative language explicitly asserting that poll taxes were unconstitutional and instructed the Department of Justice to sue the states that maintained poll taxes . To assuage concerns of liberal committee members that this provision was not strong enough , Katzenbach enlisted the help of Martin Luther King , Jr. , who gave his support to the compromise . King 's endorsement ended the stalemate , and on July 29 , the conference committee reported its version out of committee . The House approved this conference report version of the bill on August 3 by a 328 - 74 vote ( Democrats 217 - 54 , Republicans 111 - 20 ) , and the Senate passed it on August 4 by a 79 - 18 vote ( Democrats 49 - 17 , Republicans 30 - 1 ) . On August 6 , President Johnson signed the Act into law with King , Rosa Parks , John Lewis , and other civil rights leaders in attendance at the signing ceremony . Amendments ( edit ) Main article : Amendments to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 President George W. Bush signs amendments to the Act in July 2006 Congress enacted major amendments to the Act in 1970 , 1975 , 1982 , 1992 , and 2006 . Each amendment coincided with an impending expiration of some or all of the Act 's special provisions . Originally set to expire by 1970 , Congress repeatedly reauthorized the special provisions in recognition of continuing voting discrimination . Congress extended the coverage formula and special provisions tied to it , such as the Section 5 preclearance requirement , for five years in 1970 , seven years in 1975 , and 25 years in both 1982 and 2006 . In 1970 and 1975 , Congress also expanded the reach of the coverage formula by supplementing it with new 1968 and 1972 trigger dates . Coverage was further enlarged in 1975 when Congress expanded the meaning of `` tests or devices '' to encompass any jurisdiction that provided English - only election information , such as ballots , if the jurisdiction had a single language minority group that constituted more than five percent of the jurisdiction 's voting - age citizens . These expansions brought numerous jurisdictions into coverage , including many outside of the South . To ease the burdens of the reauthorized special provisions , Congress liberalized the bailout procedure in 1982 by allowing jurisdictions to escape coverage by complying with the Act and affirmatively acting to expand minority political participation . In addition to reauthorizing the original special provisions and expanding coverage , Congress amended and added several other provisions to the Act . For instance , Congress expanded the original ban on `` tests or devices '' to apply nationwide in 1970 , and in 1975 , Congress made the ban permanent . Separately , in 1975 Congress expanded the Act 's scope to protect language minorities from voting discrimination . Congress defined `` language minority '' to mean `` persons who are American Indian , Asian American , Alaskan Natives or of Spanish heritage . '' Congress amended various provisions , such as the preclearance requirement and Section 2 's general prohibition of discriminatory voting laws , to prohibit discrimination against language minorities . Congress also enacted a bilingual election requirement in Section 203 , which requires election officials in certain jurisdictions with large numbers of English - illiterate language minorities to provide ballots and voting information in the language of the language minority group . Originally set to expire after 10 years , Congress reauthorized Section 203 in 1982 for seven years , expanded and reauthorized it in 1992 for 15 years , and reauthorized it in 2006 for 25 years . The bilingual election requirements have remained controversial , with proponents arguing that bilingual assistance is necessary to enable recently naturalized citizens to vote and opponents arguing that the bilingual election requirements constitute costly unfunded mandates . Several of the amendments responded to judicial rulings with which Congress disagreed . In 1982 , Congress amended the Act to overturn the Supreme Court case Mobile v. Bolden ( 1980 ) , which held that the general prohibition of voting discrimination prescribed in Section 2 prohibited only purposeful discrimination . Congress responded by expanding Section 2 to explicitly ban any voting practice that had a discriminatory effect , regardless of whether the practice was enacted or operated for a discriminatory purpose . The creation of this `` results test '' shifted the majority of vote dilution litigation brought under the Act from preclearance lawsuits to Section 2 lawsuits . In 2006 , Congress amended the Act to overturn two Supreme Court cases : Reno v. Bossier Parish School Board ( 2000 ) , which interpreted the Section 5 preclearance requirement to prohibit only voting changes that were enacted or maintained for a `` retrogressive '' discriminatory purpose instead of any discriminatory purpose , and Georgia v. Ashcroft ( 2003 ) , which established a broader test for determining whether a redistricting plan had an impermissible effect under Section 5 than assessing only whether a minority group could elect its preferred candidates . In 2014 , the Voting Rights Amendments Act was introduced in Congress to create a new coverage formula and amend various other provisions in response to the Supreme Court case Shelby County v. Holder ( 2013 ) , which struck down the coverage formula as unconstitutional . It was referred to the Constitution and Civil Justice congressional subcommittee on February 11 , 2015 , but no action was taken on it , and it expired . Provisions ( edit ) The first page of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 The Act contains two types of provisions : `` general provisions '' , which apply nationwide , and `` special provisions '' , which apply to only certain states and local governments . Most provisions are designed to protect the voting rights of racial and language minorities . The term `` language minority '' means `` persons who are American Indian , Asian American , Alaskan Natives or of Spanish heritage . '' The Act 's provisions have been colored by numerous judicial interpretations and congressional amendments . General provisions ( edit ) General prohibition of discriminatory voting laws ( edit ) Section 2 prohibits any jurisdiction from implementing a `` voting qualification or prerequisite to voting , or standard , practice , or procedure ... in a manner which results in a denial or abridgement of the right ... to vote on account of race , '' color , or language minority status . The Supreme Court has allowed private plaintiffs to sue to enforce this prohibition . In Mobile v. Bolden ( 1980 ) , the Supreme Court held that as originally enacted in 1965 , Section 2 simply restated the Fifteenth Amendment and thus prohibited only those voting laws that were intentionally enacted or maintained for a discriminatory purpose . In 1982 , Congress amended Section 2 to create a `` results '' test , which prohibits any voting law that has a discriminatory effect irrespective of whether the law was intentionally enacted or maintained for a discriminatory purpose . The 1982 amendments provided that the results test does not guarantee protected minorities a right to proportional representation . When determining whether a jurisdiction 's election law violates this general prohibition , courts have relied on factors enumerated in the Senate Judiciary Committee report associated with the 1982 amendments ( `` Senate Factors '' ) , including : The history of official discrimination in the jurisdiction that affects the right to vote ; The degree to which voting in the jurisdiction is racially polarized ; The extent of the jurisdiction 's use of majority vote requirements , unusually large electoral districts , prohibitions on bullet voting , and other devices that tend to enhance the opportunity for voting discrimination ; Whether minority candidates are denied access to the jurisdiction 's candidate slating processes , if any ; The extent to which the jurisdiction 's minorities are discriminated against in socioeconomic areas , such as education , employment , and health ; Whether overt or subtle racial appeals in campaigns exist ; The extent to which minority candidates have won elections ; The degree that elected officials are unresponsive to the concerns of the minority group ; and Whether the policy justification for the challenged law is tenuous . The report indicates not all or a majority of these factors need to exist for an electoral device to result in discrimination , and it also indicates that this list is not exhaustive , allowing courts to consider additional evidence at their discretion . Section 2 prohibits two types of discrimination : `` vote denial '' , in which a person is denied the opportunity to cast a ballot or to have their vote properly counted , and `` vote dilution '' , in which the strength or effectiveness of a person 's vote is diminished . Most Section 2 litigation has concerned vote dilution , especially claims that a jurisdiction 's redistricting plan or use of at - large / multimember elections prevents minority voters from casting sufficient votes to elect their preferred candidates . An at - large election can dilute the votes cast by minority voters by allowing a cohesive majority group to win every legislative seat in the jurisdiction . Redistricting plans can be gerrymandered to dilute votes cast by minorities by `` packing '' high numbers of minority voters into a small number of districts or `` cracking '' minority groups by placing small numbers of minority voters into a large number of districts . In Thornburg v. Gingles ( 1986 ) , the Supreme Court used the term `` vote dilution through submergence '' to describe claims that a jurisdiction 's use of an at - large / multimember election system or gerrymandered redistricting plan diluted minority votes , and it established a legal framework for assessing such claims under Section 2 . Under the Gingles test , plaintiffs must show the existence of three preconditions : The racial or language minority group `` is sufficiently numerous and compact to form a majority in a single - member district '' ; The minority group is `` politically cohesive '' ( meaning its members tend to vote similarly ) ; and The `` majority votes sufficiently as a bloc to enable it ... usually to defeat the minority 's preferred candidate . '' The first precondition is known as the `` compactness '' requirement and concerns whether a majority - minority district can be created . The second and third preconditions are collectively known as the `` racially polarized voting '' or `` racial bloc voting '' requirement , and they concern whether the voting patterns of the different racial groups are different from each other . If a plaintiff proves these preconditions exist , then the plaintiff must additionally show , using the remaining Senate Factors and other evidence , that under the `` totality of the circumstances '' , the jurisdiction 's redistricting plan or use of at - large or multimember elections diminishes the ability of the minority group to elect candidates of its choice . Subsequent litigation further defined the contours of `` vote dilution through submergence '' claims . In Bartlett v. Strickland ( 2009 ) , the Supreme Court held that the first Gingles precondition can be satisfied only if a district can be drawn in which the minority group comprises a majority of voting - age citizens . This means that plaintiffs can not succeed on a submergence claim in jurisdictions where the size of the minority group , despite not being large enough to comprise a majority in a district , is large enough for its members to elect their preferred candidates with the help of `` crossover '' votes from some members of the majority group . In contrast , the Supreme Court has not addressed whether different protected minority groups can be aggregated to satisfy the Gingles preconditions as a coalition , and lower courts have split on the issue . The Supreme Court provided additional guidance on the `` totality of the circumstances '' test in Johnson v. De Grandy ( 1994 ) . The Court emphasized that the existence of the three Gingles preconditions may be insufficient to prove liability for vote dilution through submergence if other factors weigh against such a determination , especially in lawsuits challenging redistricting plans . In particular , the Court held that even where the three Gingles preconditions are satisfied , a jurisdiction is unlikely to be liable for vote dilution if its redistricting plan contains a number of majority - minority districts that is proportional to the minority group 's population . The decision thus clarified that Section 2 does not require jurisdictions to maximize the number of majority - minority districts . The opinion also distinguished the proportionality of majority - minority districts , which allows minorities to have a proportional opportunity to elect their candidates of choice , from the proportionality of election results , which Section 2 explicitly does not guarantee to minorities . An issue regarding the third Gingles precondition remains unresolved . In Gingles , the Supreme Court split as to whether plaintiffs must prove that the majority racial group votes as a bloc specifically because its members are motivated to vote based on racial considerations and not other considerations that may overlap with race , such as party affiliation . A plurality of justices said that requiring such proof would violate Congress 's intent to make Section 2 a `` results '' test , but Justice White maintained that the proof was necessary to show that an electoral scheme results in racial discrimination . Since Gingles , lower courts have split on the issue . Although most Section 2 litigation has involved claims of vote dilution through submergence , courts also have addressed other types of vote dilution under this provision . In Holder v. Hall ( 1994 ) , the Supreme Court held that claims that minority votes are diluted by the small size of a governing body , such as a one - person county commission , may not be brought under Section 2 . A plurality of the Court reasoned that no uniform , non-dilutive `` benchmark '' size for a governing body exists , making relief under Section 2 impossible . Another type of vote dilution may result from a jurisdiction 's requirement that a candidate be elected by a majority vote . A majority - vote requirement may cause a minority group 's candidate of choice , who would have won the election with a simple plurality of votes , to lose after a majority of voters unite behind another candidate in a runoff election . The Supreme Court has not addressed whether such claims may be brought under Section 2 , and lower courts have reached different conclusions on the issue . In addition to claims of vote dilution , courts have considered vote denial claims brought under Section 2 . The Supreme Court , in Richardson v. Ramirez ( 1974 ) , held that felony disenfranchisement laws can not violate Section 2 because , among other reasons , Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment permits such laws . A federal district court in Mississippi held that a `` dual registration '' system that requires a person to register to vote separately for state elections and local elections may violate Section 2 if the system has a racially disparate impact in light of the Senate Factors . Starting in 2013 , lower federal courts began to consider various challenges to voter ID laws brought under Section 2 . Specific prohibitions ( edit ) The Act contains several specific prohibitions on conduct that may interfere with a person 's ability to cast an effective vote . One of these prohibitions is prescribed in Section 201 , which prohibits any jurisdiction from requiring a person to comply with any `` test or device '' to register to vote or cast a ballot . The term `` test or device '' is defined as literacy tests , educational or knowledge requirements , proof of good moral character , and requirements that a person be vouched for when voting . Before the Act 's enactment , these devices were the primary tools used by jurisdictions to prevent racial minorities from voting . Originally , the Act suspended tests or devices temporarily in jurisdictions covered by the Section 4 ( b ) coverage formula , but Congress subsequently expanded the prohibition to the entire country and made it permanent . Relatedly , Section 202 prohibits jurisdictions from imposing any `` durational residency requirement '' that requires persons to have lived in the jurisdiction for more than 30 days before being eligible to vote in a presidential election . Several further protections for voters are contained in Section 11 . Section 11 ( a ) prohibits any person acting under color of law from refusing or failing to allow a qualified person to vote or to count a qualified voter 's ballot . Similarly , Section 11 ( b ) prohibits any person from intimidating , harassing , or coercing another person for voting or attempting to vote . Two provisions in Section 11 address voter fraud : Section 11 ( c ) prohibits people from knowingly submitting a false voter registration application to vote in a federal election , and Section 11 ( e ) prohibits voting twice in a federal election . Finally , under Section 208 , a jurisdiction may not prevent anyone who is English - illiterate or has a disability from being accompanied into the ballot box by an assistant of the person 's choice . The only exceptions are that the assistant may not be an agent of the person 's employer or union . Bail - in ( edit ) Section 3 ( c ) contains a `` bail - in '' or `` pocket trigger '' process by which jurisdictions that fall outside the coverage formula of Section 4 ( b ) may become subject to preclearance . Under this provision , if a jurisdiction has racially discriminated against voters in violation of the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendments , a court may order the jurisdiction to have future changes to its election laws preapproved by the federal government . Because courts have interpreted the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to prohibit only intentional discrimination , a court may bail in a jurisdiction only if the plaintiff proves that the jurisdiction enacted or operated a voting practice to purposely discriminate . Section 3 ( c ) contains its own preclearance language and differs from Section 5 preclearance in several ways . Unlike Section 5 preclearance , which applies to a covered jurisdiction until such time as the jurisdiction may bail out of coverage under Section 4 ( a ) , bailed - in jurisdictions remain subject to preclearance for as long as the court orders . Moreover , the court may require the jurisdiction to preclear only particular types of voting changes . For example , the bail - in of New Mexico in 1984 applied for 10 years and required preclearance of only redistricting plans . This differs from Section 5 preclearance , which requires a covered jurisdiction to preclear all of its voting changes . During the Act 's early history , Section 3 ( c ) was little used ; no jurisdictions were bailed in until 1975 . Between 1975 and 2013 , 18 jurisdictions were bailed in , including 16 local governments and the states of Arkansas and New Mexico . Although the Supreme Court held the Section 4 ( b ) coverage formula unconstitutional in Shelby County v. Holder ( 2013 ) , it did not hold Section 3 ( c ) unconstitutional . Therefore , jurisdictions may continue to be bailed - in and subjected to Section 3 ( c ) preclearance . In the months following Shelby County , courts began to consider requests by the Attorney General and other plaintiffs to bail in the states of Texas and North Carolina , and in January 2014 a federal court bailed in Evergreen , Alabama . A more narrow bail - in process pertaining to federal observer certification is prescribed in Section 3 ( a ) . Under this provision , a federal court may certify a non-covered jurisdiction to receive federal observers if the court determines that the jurisdiction violated the voting rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendments . Jurisdictions certified to receive federal observers under Section 3 ( a ) are not subject to preclearance . Special provisions ( edit ) See also : List of jurisdictions subject to the special provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 Coverage formula ( edit ) States and counties encompassed by the Act 's coverage formula in January 2008 ( excluding bailed - out jurisdictions ) . Several counties subsequently bailed out , but the majority of the map accurately depicts covered jurisdictions before the Supreme Court 's decision in Shelby County v. Holder ( 2013 ) , which declared the coverage formula unconstitutional . Section 4 ( b ) contains a `` coverage formula '' that determines which states and local governments may be subjected to the Act 's other special provisions ( except for the Section 203 ( c ) bilingual election requirements , which fall under a different formula ) . Congress intended for the coverage formula to encompass the most pervasively discriminatory jurisdictions . A jurisdiction is covered by the formula if : As of November 1 , 1964 , 1968 , or 1972 , the jurisdiction used a `` test or device '' to restrict the opportunity to register and vote ; and Less than half of the jurisdiction 's eligible citizens were registered to vote on November 1 , 1964 , 1968 , or 1972 ; or less than half of eligible citizens voted in the presidential election of November 1964 , 1968 , or 1972 . As originally enacted , the coverage formula contained only November 1964 triggering dates ; subsequent revisions to the law supplemented it with the additional triggering dates of November 1968 and November 1972 , which brought more jurisdictions into coverage . For purposes of the coverage formula , the term `` test or device '' includes the same four devices prohibited nationally by Section 201 -- literacy tests , educational or knowledge requirements , proof of good moral character , and requirements that a person be vouched for when voting -- and one further device defined in Section 4 ( f ) ( 3 ) : in jurisdictions where more than 5 % of the citizen voting age population are members of a single language minority group , any practice or requirement by which registration or election materials are provided only in English . The types of jurisdictions that the coverage formula applies to include states and `` political subdivisions '' of states . Section 14 ( c ) ( 2 ) defines `` political subdivision '' to mean any county , parish , or `` other subdivision of a State which conducts registration for voting . '' The 1965 coverage formula included the whole of Alabama , Alaska , Georgia , Louisiana , Mississippi , South Carolina , and Virginia ; and some subdivisions ( usually counties ) in Arizona , Hawaii , Idaho , and North Carolina . The 1968 coverage resulted in the partial coverage of Alaska , Arizona , California , Connecticut , Idaho , Maine , Massachusetts , New Hampshire , New York , and Wyoming . Connecticut , Idaho , Maine , Massachusetts , and Wyoming filed successful `` bailout '' lawsuits , as also provided by section 4 . The 1972 coverage formula covered the whole of Alaska , Arizona , and Texas , and parts of California , Florida , Michigan , New York , North Carolina , and South Dakota . The special provisions of the Act were due to expire in 1970 , and Congress renewed them for another five years . In 1975 , the Act 's special provisions were extended for another seven years . In 1982 , the coverage formula was extended again , this time for 25 years , but no changes were made to the coverage , and in 2006 , the coverage formula was again extended for 25 years . Throughout its history , the coverage formula remained controversial because it singled out certain jurisdictions , most of which were in the Deep South . In Shelby County v. Holder ( 2013 ) , the Supreme Court declared the coverage formula unconstitutional because the criteria used were outdated and thus violated principles of equal state sovereignty and federalism . The other special provisions that are dependent on the coverage formula , such as the Section 5 preclearance requirement , remain valid law . However , without a valid coverage formula , these provisions are unenforceable . Preclearance requirement ( edit ) Section 5 requires that covered jurisdictions receive federal approval , known as `` preclearance '' , before implementing changes to their election laws . A covered jurisdiction has the burden of proving that the change does not have the purpose or effect of discriminating on the basis of race or language minority status ; if the jurisdiction fails to meet this burden , the federal government will deny preclearance and the jurisdiction 's change will not go into effect . The Supreme Court broadly interpreted Section 5 's scope in Allen v. State Board of Election ( 1969 ) , holding that any change in a jurisdiction 's voting practices , even if minor , must be submitted for preclearance . The Court also held that if a jurisdiction fails to have its voting change precleared , private plaintiffs may sue the jurisdiction in the plaintiff 's local district court before a three - judge panel . In these Section 5 `` enforcement actions '' , a court considers whether the jurisdiction made a covered voting change , and if so , whether the change has been precleared . If the jurisdiction improperly failed to obtain preclearance , then the court will order the jurisdiction to obtain preclearance before implementing the change . However , the court may not consider the merits of whether the change should be approved . Jurisdictions may seek preclearance through either an `` administrative preclearance '' process or a `` judicial preclearance '' process . If a jurisdiction seeks administrative preclearance , the Attorney General will consider whether the proposed change has a discriminatory purpose or effect . After the jurisdiction submits the proposed change , the Attorney General has 60 days to interpose an objection to it . The 60 - day period may be extended an additional 60 days if the jurisdiction later submits additional information . If the Attorney General interposes an objection , then the change is not precleared and may not be implemented . The Attorney General 's decision is not subject to judicial review , but if the Attorney General interposes an objection , the jurisdiction may independently seek judicial preclearance , and the court may disregard the Attorney General 's objection at its discretion . If a jurisdiction seeks judicial preclearance , it must file a declaratory judgment action against the Attorney General in the U.S. District Court for D.C. A three - judge panel will consider whether the voting change has a discriminatory purpose or effect , and the losing party may appeal directly to the Supreme Court . Private parties may intervene in judicial preclearance lawsuits . In several cases , the Supreme Court has addressed the meaning of `` discriminatory effect '' and `` discriminatory purpose '' for Section 5 purposes . In Beer v. United States ( 1976 ) , the Court held that for a voting change to have a prohibited discriminatory effect , it must result in `` retrogression '' ( backsliding ) . Under this standard , a voting change that causes discrimination , but does not result in more discrimination than before the change was made , can not be denied preclearance for having a discriminatory effect . For example , replacing a poll tax with an equally expensive voter registration fee is not a `` retrogressive '' change because it causes equal discrimination , not more . Relying on the Senate report for the Act , the Court reasoned that the retrogression standard was the correct interpretation of the term `` discriminatory effect '' because Section 5 's purpose is `` ' to insure that ( the gains thus far achieved in minority political participation ) shall not be destroyed through new ( discriminatory ) procedures ' `` . The retrogression standard applies irrespective of whether the voting change allegedly causes vote denial or vote dilution . In 2003 , the Supreme Court held in Georgia v. Ashcroft that courts should not determine that a new redistricting plan has a retrogressive effect solely because the plan decreases the number of minority - majority districts . The Court emphasized that judges should analyze various other factors under the `` totality of the circumstances '' , such as whether the redistricting plan increases the number of `` influence districts '' in which a minority group is large enough to influence ( but not decide ) election outcomes . In 2006 , Congress overturned this decision by amending Section 5 to explicitly state that `` diminishing the ability ( of a protected minority ) to elect their preferred candidates of choice denies or abridges the right to vote within the meaning of '' Section 5 . Uncertainty remains as to what this language precisely means and how courts may interpret it . Before 2000 , the `` discriminatory purpose '' prong of Section 5 was understood to mean any discriminatory purpose , which is the same standard used to determine whether discrimination is unconstitutional . In Reno v. Bossier Parish ( Bossier Parish II ) ( 2000 ) , the Supreme Court extended the retrogression standard , holding that for a voting change to have a `` discriminatory purpose '' under Section 5 , the change must have been implemented for a retrogressive purpose . Therefore , a voting change intended to discriminate against a protected minority was permissible under Section 5 so long as the change was not intended to increase existing discrimination . This change significantly reduced the number of instances in which preclearance was denied based on discriminatory purpose . In 2006 , Congress overturned Bossier Parish II by amending Section 5 to explicitly define `` purpose '' to mean `` any discriminatory purpose . '' Federal examiners and observers ( edit ) Until the 2006 amendments to the Act , Section 6 allowed the appointment of `` federal examiners '' to oversee certain jurisdictions ' voter registration functions . Federal examiners could be assigned to a covered jurisdiction if the Attorney General certified that The Department of Justice received 20 or more meritorious complaints that the covered jurisdiction denied its residents the right to vote based on race or language minority status ; or The assignment of federal examiners was otherwise necessary to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendments . Federal examiners had the authority to register voters , examine voter registration applications , and maintain voter rolls . The goal of the federal examiner provision was to prevent jurisdictions from denying protected minorities the right to vote by engaging in discriminatory behavior in the voter registration process , such as refusing to register qualified applicants , purging qualified voters from the voter rolls , and limiting the hours during which persons could register . Federal examiners were used extensively in the years following the Act 's enactment , but their importance waned over time ; 1983 was the last year that a federal examiner registered a person to vote . In 2006 , Congress repealed the provision . Under the Act 's original framework , in any jurisdiction certified for federal examiners , the Attorney General could additionally require the appointment of `` federal observers '' . By 2006 , the federal examiner provision was used solely as a means to appoint federal observers . When Congress repealed the federal examiner provision in 2006 , Congress amended Section 8 to allow for the assignment of federal observers to jurisdictions that satisfied the same certification criteria that had been used to appoint federal examiners . Federal observers are tasked with observing poll worker and voter conduct at polling places during an election and observing election officials tabulate the ballots . The goal of the federal observer provision is to facilitate minority voter participation by deterring and documenting instances of discriminatory conduct in the election process , such as election officials denying qualified minority persons the right to cast a ballot , intimidation or harassment of voters on election day , or improper vote counting . Discriminatory conduct that federal observers document may also serve as evidence in subsequent enforcement lawsuits . Between 1965 and the Supreme Court 's 2013 decision in Shelby County v. Holder to strike down the coverage formula , the Attorney General certified 153 local governments across 11 states . Because of time and resource constraints , federal observers are not assigned to every certified jurisdiction for every election . Separate provisions allow for a certified jurisdiction to `` bail out '' of its certification . Bailout ( edit ) Under Section 4 ( a ) , a covered jurisdiction may seek exemption from coverage through a process called `` bailout . '' To achieve an exemption , a covered jurisdiction must obtain a declaratory judgment from a three - judge panel of the District Court for D.C. that the jurisdiction is eligible to bail out . As originally enacted , a covered jurisdiction was eligible to bail out if it had not used a test or device with a discriminatory purpose or effect during the 5 years preceding its bailout request . Therefore , a jurisdiction that requested to bail out in 1967 would have needed to prove that it had not misused a test or device since at least 1962 . Until 1970 , this effectively required a covered jurisdiction to prove that it had not misused a test or device since before the Act was enacted five years earlier in 1965 , making it impossible for many covered jurisdictions to bail out . However , Section 4 ( a ) also prohibited covered jurisdictions from using tests or devices in any manner , discriminatory or otherwise ; hence , under the original Act , a covered jurisdiction would become eligible for bailout in 1970 by simply complying with this requirement . But in the course of amending the Act in 1970 and 1975 to extend the special provisions , Congress also extended the period of time that a covered jurisdiction must not have misused a test or device to 10 years and then to 17 years , respectively . These extensions continued the effect of requiring jurisdictions to prove that they had not misused a test or device since before the Act 's enactment in 1965 . In 1982 , Congress amended Section 4 ( a ) to make bailout easier to achieve in two ways . First , Congress provided that if a state is covered , local governments in that state may bail out even if the state is ineligible to bail out . Second , Congress liberalized the eligibility criteria by replacing the 17 - year requirement with a new standard , allowing a covered jurisdiction to bail out by proving that in the 10 years preceding its bailout request : The jurisdiction did not use a test or device with a discriminatory purpose or effect ; No court determined that the jurisdiction denied or abridged the right to vote based on racial or language minority status ; The jurisdiction complied with the preclearance requirement ; The federal government did not assign federal examiners to the jurisdiction ; The jurisdiction abolished discriminatory election practices ; and The jurisdiction took affirmative steps to eliminate voter intimidation and expand voting opportunities for protected minorities . Additionally , Congress required jurisdictions seeking bailout to produce evidence of minority registration and voting rates , including how these rates have changed over time and in comparison to the registration and voting rates of the majority . If the court determines that the covered jurisdiction is eligible for bailout , it will enter a declaratory judgment in the jurisdiction 's favor . The court will retain jurisdiction for the following 10 years and may order the jurisdiction back into coverage if the jurisdiction subsequently engages in voting discrimination . The 1982 amendment to the bailout eligibility standard went into effect on August 5 , 1984 . Between that date and 2013 , 196 jurisdictions bailed out of coverage through 38 bailout actions ; in each instance , the Attorney General consented to the bailout request . Between that date and 2009 , all jurisdictions that bailed out were located in Virginia . In 2009 , a municipal utility jurisdiction in Texas bailed out after the Supreme Court 's opinion in Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District No. 1 v. Holder ( 2009 ) , which held that local governments that do not register voters have the ability to bail out . After this ruling , jurisdictions succeeded in at least 20 bailout actions before the Supreme Court held in Shelby County v. Holder ( 2013 ) that the coverage formula was unconstitutional . Separate provisions allow a covered jurisdiction that has been certified to receive federal observers to bail out of its certification alone . Under Section 13 , the Attorney General may terminate the certification of a jurisdiction if 1 ) more than 50 % of the jurisdiction 's minority voting age population is registered to vote , and 2 ) there is no longer reasonable cause to believe that residents may experience voting discrimination . Alternatively , the District Court for D.C. may order the certification terminated . Bilingual election requirements ( edit ) Two provisions require certain jurisdictions to provide election materials to voters in multiple languages : Section 4 ( f ) ( 4 ) and Section 203 ( c ) . A jurisdiction covered by either provision must provide all materials related to an election -- such as voter registration materials , ballots , notices , and instructions -- in the language of any applicable language minority group residing in the jurisdiction . Language minority groups protected by these provisions include Asian Americans , Hispanics , Native Americans , and Native Alaskans . Congress enacted the provisions to break down language barriers and combat pervasive language discrimination against the protected groups . Section 4 ( f ) ( 4 ) applies to any jurisdiction encompassed by the Section 4 ( b ) coverage formula where more than 5 % of the citizen voting age population are members of a single language minority group . Section 203 ( c ) contains a formula that is separate from the Section 4 ( b ) coverage formula , and therefore jurisdictions covered solely by 203 ( c ) are not subject to the Act 's other special provisions , such as preclearance . The Section 203 ( c ) formula encompasses jurisdictions where the following conditions exist : A single language minority is present that has an English - illiteracy rate higher than the national average ; and Either : The number of `` limited - English proficient '' members of the language minority group is at least 10,000 voting - age citizens or large enough to comprise at least 5 % of the jurisdiction 's voting - age citizen population ; or The jurisdiction is a political subdivision that contains an Indian reservation , and more than 5 % of the jurisdiction 's American Indian or Alaska Native voting - age citizens are members of a single language minority and are limited - English proficient . Section 203 ( b ) defines `` limited - English proficient '' as being `` unable to speak or understand English adequately enough to participate in the electoral process '' . Determinations as to which jurisdictions satisfy the Section 203 ( c ) criteria occur once a decade following completion of the decennial census ; at these times , new jurisdictions may come into coverage while others may have their coverage terminated . Additionally , under Section 203 ( d ) , a jurisdiction may `` bail out '' of Section 203 ( c ) coverage by proving in federal court that no language minority group within the jurisdiction has an English illiteracy rate that is higher than the national illiteracy rate . After the 2010 census , 150 jurisdictions across 25 states were covered under Section 203 ( c ) , including statewide coverage of California , Texas , and Florida . Impact ( edit ) Final page of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 , signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson , President of the Senate Hubert Humphrey , and Speaker of the House John McCormack After its enactment in 1965 , the law immediately decreased racial discrimination in voting . The suspension of literacy tests and the assignments of federal examiners and observers allowed for high numbers of racial minorities to register to vote . Nearly 250,000 African Americans registered in 1965 , one - third of whom were registered by federal examiners . In covered jurisdictions , less than one - third ( 29.3 % ) of the African American population was registered in 1965 ; by 1967 , this number increased to more than half ( 52.1 % ) , and a majority of African American residents became registered to vote in 9 of the 13 Southern states . Similar increases were seen in the number of African Americans elected to office : between 1965 and 1985 , African Americans elected as state legislators in the 11 former Confederate states increased from 3 to 176 . Nationwide , the number of African American elected officials increased from 1,469 in 1970 to 4,912 in 1980 . By 2011 , the number was approximately 10,500 . Similarly , registration rates for language minority groups increased after Congress enacted the bilingual election requirements in 1975 and amended them in 1992 . In 1973 , the percent of Hispanics registered to vote was 34.9 % ; by 2006 , that amount nearly doubled . The number of Asian Americans registered to vote in 1996 increased 58 % by 2006 . After the Act 's initial success in combating tactics designed to deny minorities access to the polls , the Act became predominately used as a tool to challenge racial vote dilution . Starting in the 1970s , the Attorney General commonly raised Section 5 objections to voting changes that decreased the effectiveness of racial minorities ' votes , including discriminatory annexations , redistricting plans , and election methods such as at - large election systems , runoff election requirements , and prohibitions on bullet voting . In total , 81 % ( 2,541 ) of preclearance objections made between 1965 and 2006 were based on vote dilution . Claims brought under Section 2 have also predominately concerned vote dilution . Between the 1982 creation of the Section 2 results test and 2006 , at least 331 Section 2 lawsuits resulted in published judicial opinions . In the 1980s , 60 % of Section 2 lawsuits challenged at - large election systems ; in the 1990s , 37.2 % challenged at - large election systems and 38.5 % challenged redistricting plans . Overall , plaintiffs succeeded in 37.2 % of the 331 lawsuits , and they were more likely to succeed in lawsuits brought against covered jurisdictions . By enfranchising racial minorities , the Act facilitated a political realignment of the Democratic and Republican parties . Between 1890 and 1965 , minority disenfranchisement allowed conservative Southern Democrats to dominate Southern politics . After Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Act into law , newly enfranchised racial minorities began to vote for liberal Democratic candidates throughout the South , and Southern white conservatives began to switch their party registration from Democrat to Republican en masse . These dual trends caused the two parties to ideologically polarize , with the Democratic Party becoming more liberal and the Republican Party becoming more conservative . The trends also created competition between the two parties , which Republicans capitalized on by implementing the Southern strategy . Over the subsequent decades , the creation of majority - minority districts to remedy racial vote dilution claims also contributed to these developments . By packing liberal - leaning racial minorities into small numbers of majority - minority districts , large numbers of surrounding districts became more solidly white , conservative , and Republican . While this increased the elected representation of racial minorities as intended , it also decreased white Democratic representation and increased the representation of Republicans overall . By the mid-1990s , these trends culminated in a political realignment : the Democratic Party and the Republican Party became more ideologically polarized and defined as liberal and conservative parties , respectively ; and both parties came to compete for electoral success in the South , with the Republican Party controlling most of Southern politics . A 2016 study in the American Journal of Political Science found `` that members of Congress who represented jurisdictions subject to the preclearance requirement were substantially more supportive of civil rights -- related legislation than legislators who did not represent covered jurisdictions . '' A 2018 study in The Journal of Politics found that Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act `` increased black voter registration by 14 -- 19 percentage points , white registration by 10 -- 13 percentage points , and overall voter turnout by 10 -- 19 percentage points . Additional results for Democratic vote share suggest that some of this overall increase in turnout may have come from reactionary whites . '' Constitutionality ( edit ) Voter eligibility provisions ( edit ) Early in the Act 's enforcement history , the Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of several provisions relating to voter qualifications and prerequisites to voting . In Katzenbach v. Morgan ( 1966 ) , the Court upheld the constitutionality of Section 4 ( e ) . This section prohibits jurisdictions from administering literacy tests to citizens who attain a sixth - grade education in an American school in which the predominant language was Spanish , such as schools in Puerto Rico . Although the Court had earlier held in Lassiter v. Northampton County Board of Elections ( 1959 ) that literacy tests did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment , in Morgan the Court held that Congress could enforce Fourteenth Amendment rights -- such as the right to vote -- by prohibiting conduct it deemed to interfere with such rights , even if that conduct may not be independently unconstitutional . After Congress created a nationwide ban on all literacy tests and similar devices in 1970 by enacting Section 201 , the Court upheld the ban as constitutional in Oregon v. Mitchell ( 1970 ) . Also in Oregon v. Mitchell , the Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of various other provisions relating to voter qualifications and prerequisites to voting . The Court upheld Section 202 , which prohibits any state or local jurisdiction from requiring people to live in their borders for longer than 30 days before allowing them to vote in a presidential election . Additionally , the Court upheld the provision lowering the minimum voting age to 18 in federal elections , but it held that Congress exceeded its power by lowering the voting age to 18 in state elections ; this precipitated the ratification of the Twenty - sixth Amendment the following year , which lowered the voting age in all elections to 18 . The Court was deeply divided in Oregon v. Mitchell , and a majority of justices did not agree on a rationale for the holding . Section 2 results test ( edit ) The constitutionality of Section 2 , which contains a general prohibition on discriminatory voting laws , has not been definitively explained by the Supreme Court . As amended in 1982 , Section 2 prohibits any voting practice that has a discriminatory effect , irrespective of whether the practice was enacted or is administered for the purpose of discriminating . This `` results test '' contrasts with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments , both of which directly prohibit only purposeful discrimination . Given this disparity , whether the Supreme Court would uphold the constitutionality of Section 2 as appropriate legislation passed to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments , and under what rationale , remains unclear . In Mississippi Republican Executive Opinion v. Brooks ( 1984 ) , the Supreme Court summarily affirmed , without a written opinion , a lower court 's decision that 1982 amendment to Section 2 is constitutional . Justice Rehnquist , joined by Chief Justice Burger , dissented from the opinion . Their reasoning was that the case presented complex constitutional issues that should have warranted a full hearing . In later cases , the Supreme Court is more likely to disregard one of its previous judgments that lacks a written opinion , but lower courts must respect the Supreme Court 's unwritten summary affirmances as being as equally binding on them as Supreme Court judgments with written opinions . Partially due to Brooks , the constitutionality of the Section 2 results test has since been unanimously upheld by lower courts . Coverage formula and preclearance ( edit ) The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of the Section 5 preclearance requirement in three cases . The first case was South Carolina v. Katzenbach ( 1966 ) , which was decided about five months after the Act 's enactment . The Court held that Section 5 constituted a valid use of Congress 's power to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment , reasoning that `` exceptional circumstances '' of pervasive racial discrimination , combined with the inadequacy of case - by - case litigation in ending that discrimination , justified the preclearance requirement . The Court also upheld the constitutionality of the 1965 coverage formula , saying that it was `` rational in both practice and theory '' and that the bailout provision provided adequate relief for jurisdictions that may not deserve coverage . The Supreme Court again upheld the preclearance requirement in City of Rome v. United States ( 1980 ) . The Court held that because Congress had explicit constitutional power to enforce the Reconstruction Amendments `` by appropriate legislation '' , the Act did not violate principles of federalism . The Court also explicitly upheld the `` discriminatory effect '' prong of Section 5 , stating that even though the Fifteenth Amendment directly prohibited only intentional discrimination , Congress could constitutionally prohibit unintentional discrimination to mitigate the risk that jurisdictions may engage in intentional discrimination . Finally , the Court upheld the 1975 extension of Section 5 because of the record of discrimination that continued to persist in the covered jurisdictions . The Court further suggested that the temporary nature of the special provisions was relevant to Section 5 's constitutionality . The final case in which the Supreme Court upheld Section 5 was Lopez v. Monterey County ( Lopez II ) ( 1999 ) . In Lopez II , the Court reiterated its reasoning in Katzenbach and Rome , and it upheld as constitutional the requirement that covered local governments obtain preclearance before implementing voting changes that their parent state required them to implement , even if the parent state was not itself a covered jurisdiction . The 2006 extension of Section 5 was challenged before the Supreme Court in Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District No. 1 v. Holder ( 2009 ) . The lawsuit was brought by a municipal water district in Texas that elected members to a water board . The District wished to move a voting location from a private home to a public school , but that change was subject to preclearance because Texas was a covered jurisdiction . The District did not register voters , and thus it did not appear to qualify as a `` political subdivision '' eligible to bail out of coverage . Although the Court indicated in dicta ( a non-binding part of the court 's opinion ) that Section 5 presented difficult constitutional questions , it did not declare Section 5 unconstitutional ; instead , it interpreted the law to allow any covered local government , including one that does not register voters , to obtain an exemption from preclearance if it meets the bailout requirements . On November 9 , 2012 , the Supreme Court granted certiorari in the case of Shelby County v. Holder limited to the question of `` whether Congress ' decision in 2006 to reauthorize Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act under the pre-existing coverage formula of Section 4 ( b ) ... exceeded its authority under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments , thus violating the Tenth Amendment and Article IV of the United States Constitution '' . On June 25 , 2013 , the Court struck down Section 4 ( b ) as unconstitutional . The Court reasoned that the coverage formula violates the constitutional principles of `` equal sovereignty of the states '' and federalism because its disparate treatment of the states is `` based on 40 year - old facts having no logical relationship to the present day '' , which makes the formula unresponsive to current needs . The Court did not strike down Section 5 , but without Section 4 ( b ) , no jurisdiction may be subject to Section 5 preclearance unless Congress enacts a new coverage formula . After the decision , several states that were fully or partially covered -- including Texas , Mississippi , North Carolina , and South Carolina -- implemented laws that were previously denied preclearance . This prompted new legal challenges to these laws under other provisions unaffected by the Court 's decision , such as Section 2 . Racial gerrymandering ( edit ) Main article : Gerrymandering in the United States : Affirmative racial gerrymandering While Section 2 and Section 5 prohibit jurisdictions from drawing electoral districts that dilute the votes of protected minorities , the Supreme Court has held that in some instances , the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prevents jurisdictions from drawing district lines to favor protected minorities . The Court first recognized the justiciability of affirmative `` racial gerrymandering '' claims in Shaw v. Reno ( 1993 ) . In Miller v. Johnson ( 1995 ) , the Court explained that a redistricting plan is constitutionally suspect if the jurisdiction used race as the `` predominant factor '' in determining how to draw district lines . For race to `` predominate '' , the jurisdiction must prioritize racial considerations over traditional redistricting principles , which include `` compactness , contiguity , ( and ) respect for political subdivisions or communities defined by actual shared interests . '' If a court concludes that racial considerations predominated , then the redistricting plan is considered `` racially gerrymandered '' and must be subjected to strict scrutiny , meaning that the redistricting plan will be upheld as constitutional only if it is narrowly tailored to advance a compelling state interest . In Bush v. Vera ( 1996 ) , a plurality of the Supreme Court assumed that complying with Section 2 or Section 5 constituted compelling interests , and lower courts have allowed only these two interests to justify racial gerrymandering .

The Court later held , in Growe v. Emison , 507 U.S. 25 ( 1993 ) , that the Gingles test also applies to claims that a redistricting plan results in vote dilution through the arrangement of single - member districts .

Jump up ^ Courts of Appeals in the Second Circuit and Fourth Circuit have held that such proof is not an absolute requirement for liability but is a relevant additional factor under the `` totality of the circumstances '' test . In contrast , the Fifth Circuit has held that such proof is a required component of the third precondition .

"The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a landmark piece of federal legislation in the United States that prohibits racial discrimination in voting.[7][8] It was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson during the height of the Civil Rights Movement on August 6, 1965, and Congress later amended the Act five times to expand its protections.[7] Designed to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, the Act secured the right to vote for racial minorities throughout the country, especially in the South. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the Act is considered to be the most effective piece of federal civil rights legislation ever enacted in the country.[9]"

During the beginning of the movie , he is working on a machine that automatically chops up firewood . Once it is successfully working , he leaves for the County Fair to display his invention . However , he is unable to make it to the fair due to getting lost in the woods . After going down a path that results in the loss of his horse and cart , and being attacked and nearly killed by a pack of rabid wolves , he winds up at the gate of a dark castle . When he enters the castle to stay for the night , he ends up being locked up by the Beast , the castle 's master .

Nichols to the then entirely male cast of servants , and was originally a more integral character named `` Madame Armoire '' . Her role was later expanded upon and ultimately taken over by Mrs. Potts . Wardrobe is known as `` Madame de la Grande Bouche '' in the stage adaptation of the film . Her stage name supposedly means `` Mistress of the Big Mouth '' in a semi-literal English translation . The Marvel Comics serial for the movie , taking place during the movie , referred to her status as an opera singer that performed even to the king . She later appears in Kingdom Hearts II in her homeworld , Beast 's Castle . In the game , she blocks Sora 's way to the undercroft to free the servants from the dungeon , forcing Sora to push her out of the way while she is sleeping .

After learning that the Beast exists , he accompanies Gaston and the rest of the lynch mob to the castle to kill the Beast singing `` The Mob Song '' with everybody . He picks up Lumière upon entering the castle , and Lumiere 's signal begins the battle . During the battle , Le Fou attempts to kill Lumiere by waving a torch perilously close to Lumiere 's head , but Cogsworth saves him by jabbing scissors hard in Le Fou 's rear end . He is last seen escaping with the rest of the villagers . It is left unknown if he knew Gaston died against the Beast , though it 's possible that Gaston 's absence from then on gave him that message . In the beginning of The Enchanted Christmas , despite the rest of the villagers being invited to the castle for a Christmas party , Le Fou is not present . In the movie , Le Fou was voiced by Venezuelan voice actor Jesse Corti , who also voiced Le Fou in the Spanish - language dub of the film , making Le Fou one of the few characters to share the same voice actor in two different dubs of the movie . In the 2017 live - action adaptation , Le Fou is portrayed by Josh Gad . In the version with Gad , the character is gay , becoming the first homosexual in a Disney film . In one deleted scene , Le Fou helped Gaston to break up the headmaster leading the villagers into destroying Belle 's laundry invention by shooting the gun in the air twice with the second time having a cow accidentally killed .

One deleted scene had him given a bad encounter with Monsieur Toilette which causes him to run out of the room he was in . In another deleted scene following the spell being broken , Le Fou runs into Monsieur Toilette 's true form which identified from the bathroom smell . At the end of this version , he briefly dances with the ( presumably gay ) Stanley , who was also a friend and minion of Gaston 's .

The triplets also appear in the Marvel Comics serial for Beauty and the Beast , which was set during Belle 's stay at the castle . They are generally within the B - stories , where they try to sabotage Gaston 's plans to marry Belle , with varying success . In the Musical , their roles are the same , although they are given more dialogue and their role is expanded slightly . They have made regular appearances on `` Disney 's House of Mouse . '' They are now all voiced by Kath Soucie ( who had originally just voiced Paulette ) , due to Mary Kay Bergman 's suicide by the time the show was made . They also appear in the 2017 live - action remake . Although their overall roles were the same , they are in fact among the mob late in the film unlike in the 1991 original . In addition , the triplets were given a significantly different appearance , where they wore similarly - colored pink dresses , and possessed heavy makeup , a beauty spot , and brunette hair , as well as explicitly disliking Belle ( Bill Condon and Rafaëlle Cohen both indicated the triplets ' dislike of Belle dealt with their own mom neglecting them and doting on the latter ) .

The three of them are among the villagers that accompany Gaston to the Beast 's castle to kill the Beast where they end up fighting the servants . One deleted scene had the Triplets chasing Frou - Frou into the kitchen where Cuisiner throws food on them . It is left unknown if they knew Gaston died against the Beast , though it 's possible that Gaston 's absence from then on gave them that message .

The Baker later provides the birthday cake for Gaston 's wedding proposal for Belle which does n't go well . After Belle returned from the Beast 's castle , the Baker is among the villagers gathered by Gaston at the time when Gaston as Monsieur D'Arque comes to collect Maurice . After Belle uses the Beast 's mirror to show that the Beast exists , the Baker is among the villagers that accompany Gaston and Le Fou to the Beast 's Castle to kill the Beast only for the villagers to be fended off by the transformed servants .

The Baker was seen when the Headmaster had roused the villagers into destroying Belle 's laundry invention after the Headmaster caught Belle teaching a girl how to read .

She pays a visit to the castle one cold winter night and poses as an ugly , old peddler woman , offering a single rose for shelter . After being turned away by the prince twice , she reveals her true self ( young and beautiful , yet cruel and hypocritical ) and punishes him by transforming him into the Beast , his servants into objects , and his castle into a horrific version of itself laden with ugly gargoyles and grotesque statues . The Enchantress left the Beast with only two items , a magic mirror as the only window to the outside world , and the rose she had tried to give him . It turns out the rose is enchanted , working as an hourglass : it will bloom until his 21st birthday , when its petals will begin to fall . When the last petal falls , the prince will remain a Beast forever . The spell can only be broken if he can learn to love and receives love in return . Her spell is broken at the last second by Belle 's confession of love for the Beast . In The Enchanted Christmas , it is revealed that the Enchantress ' visit that resulted in the curse occurred on Christmas Day , which resulted in Adam 's dislike for the holiday .

Introduced in Beauty and the Beast : the Enchanted Christmas Forte Forte First appearance Beauty and the Beast : The Enchanted Christmas ( 1997 ) Voiced by Tim Curry Forte is the composer of the castle and serves as the main antagonist of The Enchanted Christmas . When the Enchantress curses the Beast , he is transformed into a pipe organ . Unlike the other cursed denizens , he enjoys the new form that he has for its power , as he feels that he 's more useful to the Beast in this form than as his human form . As such , he intends to sabotage the Beast and Belle 's relationship to ensure that the spell is never broken . He also uses Fife the Piccolo to carry out his plan , promising him his own musical solo when he succeeds ( though he never actually intends to give the solo to him ) . He tries to lure Belle away from the castle to get a Christmas tree in an area beyond a frozen lake . While she 's away , Forte tells the Beast that Belle has abandoned him , thus fueling more anger into the Beast . He then proceeds to tell the Beast to destroy the Enchanted Rose , but the Beast ultimately decides not to when a rose petal lands on the storybook from Belle , thus allowing the Beast to regain his senses . Enraged at this failure , and refusing to `` fade away '' , he decides to destroy the entire castle with his music , as the Beast and Belle ca n't fall in love if they are both dead . He ultimately meets his end when the Beast rips out his keyboard and wrecks it , causing Forte to try to kill the Beast by lunging at him . He ends up being dislodged from the wall causing Forte to crash to the ground . NOTE : When The Enchanted Christmas was originally conceived as a direct sequel to the first film , the character of Forte was written as Avenant , Gaston 's vengeful younger brother who would also be determined to ruin Belle and Adam 's lives before meeting his own end . Though plans for the sequel were scrapped , many of Avenant 's characteristics were integrated into Forte . Fife Fife First appearance Beauty and the Beast : The Enchanted Christmas ( 1997 ) Voiced by Paul Reubens Fife is a resident of the castle . When the Enchantress curses the Beast , he is transformed into a piccolo . He is tricked by Forte into trying to sabotage the relationship under the promise of his own solo . Fife lures Belle into Forte 's room for him to tell Belle where a suitable Christmas tree is located . However , shortly after she leaves , Forte tells Fife to follow her to the tree ( presumably so he can cause the ice to break with his sound ) . Fife later regrets this action and decides to help Belle and Beast mend their relationship . Forte decides to destroy the castle and Fife tries to stop him . Forte reveals that he never intended to give him a musical solo ( via expelling blank note sheets ) . No longer loyal to Forte , Fife tells the Beast that Forte 's power comes from the keyboard and Beast uses this knowledge to depower him . In the ending of the movie ( taking place in the present ) , Fife seems to have taken over Forte 's job as the composer of the castle . Angelique Angelique First appearance Beauty and the Beast : The Enchanted Christmas ( 1997 ) Voiced by Bernadette Peters Angelica is the castle decorator . When the Enchantress curses the Beast , she transforms into a Christmas angel ornament .

Introduced in Belle 's Magical World Webster Webster First appearance Belle 's Magical World ( 1998 ) Voiced by Jim Cummings Webster is the castle 's scribe who was transformed into a dictionary by the Enchantress ' spell . While he means well , he has a rather long tongue , often speaking out of the right moment . This leads to the other servants , particularly Lumiere and Cogsworth , to dislike him greatly . During the first segment of Belle 's Magical World , he infuriates the Beast by giving unwanted synonyms to Belle 's insults during a row leading the Beast to strike him . Wracked with guilt after Belle and the Beast stop speaking to each other , he forges a letter of apology from Belle with his two best friends Crane and LePlume . He is exiled from the castle when the Beast finds out , but amends are made after Belle brings him back .

In contrast , he is an intelligent pigeon in charge of delivering the Beast 's messages to the village for placing orders or anything similar . While it is possible that he was already a pigeon before the Enchantress placed the spell on the castle , his previously being a human servant may be the only possible explanation of his capability of understanding English with no apparent problem .

"Lumière is played by Scottish actor, Ewan McGregor in the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast. This depiction of Lumiere has him as a charismatic bouteiller who has been transformed into a human-shaped candelabra with a bronze human-like face, arms tipped with candles and legs to walk with as well. Despite the differences, Lumiere's design as a candelabra with three branches still remains only by shape shifting and can be self litten. He is lover of Plumette who has been transformed into a feather duster. \n"

Americans are citizens of both the federal republic and of the state in which they reside , due to the shared sovereignty between each state and the federal government . Kentucky , Massachusetts , Pennsylvania , and Virginia use the term commonwealth rather than state in their full official names . States are the primary subdivisions of the United States . They possess all powers not granted to the federal government , nor prohibited to them by the United States Constitution . In general , state governments have the power to regulate issues of local concern , such as : regulating intrastate commerce , running elections , creating local governments , public school policy , and non-federal road construction and maintenance . Each state has its own constitution grounded in republican principles , and government consisting of executive , legislative , and judicial branches . All states and their residents are represented in the federal Congress , a bicameral legislature consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives . Each state is represented by two Senators , and at least one Representative , while the size of a state 's House delegation depends on its total population , as determined by the most recent constitutionally - mandated decennial census . Additionally , each state is entitled to select a number of electors to vote in the Electoral College , the body that elects the President of the United States , equal to the total of Representatives and Senators in Congress from that state . Article IV , Section 3 , Clause 1 of the Constitution grants to Congress the authority to admit new states into the Union . Since the establishment of the United States in 1776 , the number of states has expanded from the original 13 to 50 . Each new state has been admitted on an equal footing with the existing states . The following table is a list of all 50 states and their respective dates of statehood . The first 13 became states in July 1776 upon agreeing to the United States Declaration of Independence , and each joined the first Union of states between 1777 and 1781 , upon ratifying the Articles of Confederation , its first constitution . ( A separate table is included below showing AoC ratification dates . ) These states are presented in the order in which each ratified the 1787 Constitution , thus joining the present federal Union of states . The date of admission listed for each subsequent state is the official date set by Act of Congress .

Also , the Constitution is silent on the question of whether states have the power to secede from the Union , but the Supreme Court held that a state can not unilaterally do so in Texas v. White ( 1869 ) . Jump up ^ Also known as the `` Three Lower Counties Upon Delaware '' . Delaware became a state on June 15 , 1776 , when the Delaware Assembly formally adopted a resolution declaring an end to Delaware 's status as a colony of Great Britain and establishing the three counties as an independent state under the authority of `` the Government of the Counties of New Castle , Kent and Sussex Upon Delaware '' . Jump up ^ Between 1749 and 1764 the provincial governor of New Hampshire , Benning Wentworth , issued approximately 135 grants for unoccupied land claimed by New Hampshire west of the Connecticut River ( in what is today southern Vermont ) , territory that was also claimed by New York . The resulting `` New Hampshire Grants '' dispute led to the rise of the Green Mountain Boys , and the later establishment of the Vermont Republic . New Hampshire 's claim upon the land was extinguished in 1764 by royal order of George III , and in 1790 the State of New York ceded its land claim to Vermont for 30,000 dollars . Jump up ^ The Virginia General Assembly adopted legislation on December 18 , 1789 separating its `` District of Kentucky '' from the rest of the State and approving its statehood . Jump up ^ The exact date upon which Ohio became a state is unclear . On April 30 , 1802 the 7th Congress had passed an act `` authorizing the inhabitants of Ohio to form a Constitution and state government , and admission of Ohio into the Union '' ( Sess. 1 , ch. 40 , 2 Stat. 173 ) . On February 19 , 1803 the same Congress passed an act `` providing for the execution of the laws of the United States in the State of Ohio '' ( Sess. 2 , ch. 7 , 2 Stat. 201 ) . Neither act , however , set a formal date of statehood . An official statehood date for Ohio was not set until 1953 , when the 83rd Congress passed a Joint resolution `` for admitting the State of Ohio into the Union '' , ( Pub. L. 83 -- 204 , 67 Stat. 407 , enacted August 7 , 1953 ) which designated March 1 , 1803 , as that date .

The current situation is different only in that six Indiana counties have since been moved from the Central time zone to the Eastern time zone . The history of standard time in the United States began November 18 , 1883 , when United States and Canadian railroads instituted standard time in time zones . Before then , time of day was a local matter , and most cities and towns used some form of local solar time , maintained by some well - known clock ( for example , on a church steeple or in a jeweler 's window ) . The new standard time system was not immediately embraced by all . Use of standard time gradually increased because of its obvious practical advantages for communication and travel . Standard time in time zones was not established in U.S. law until the Standard Time Act of 1918 of March 19 , 1918 , also known as the Calder Act ( 15 USC 260 ) . The act also established daylight saving time , itself a contentious idea . Daylight saving time was repealed in 1919 , but standard time in time zones remained in law , with the Interstate Commerce Commission ( ICC ) having the authority over time zone boundaries . Daylight time became a local matter . It was re-established nationally early in World War II , and was continuously observed until the end of the war . After the war its use varied among states and localities . The Uniform Time Act of 1966 provided standardization in the dates of beginning and end of daylight time in the U.S. but allowed for local exemptions from its observance . The act also continued the authority of the ICC over time zone boundaries . In subsequent years , the United States Congress transferred the authority over time zones to the U.S. Department of Transportation ( DOT ) , modified ( several times ) the beginning date of daylight time , and renamed the three westernmost time zones . Time zone boundaries have changed greatly since their original introduction and changes still occasionally occur . DOT issues press releases when these changes are made . Generally , time zone boundaries have tended to shift westward . Places on the eastern edge of a time zone can effectively move sunset an hour later ( by the clock ) by shifting to the time zone immediately to their east . If they do so , the boundary of that zone is locally shifted to the west ; the accumulation of such changes results in the long - term westward trend . The process is not inexorable , however , since the late sunrises experienced by such places during the winter may be regarded as too undesirable . Furthermore , under the law , the principal standard for deciding on a time zone change is the `` convenience of commerce '' . Proposed time zone changes have been both approved and rejected based on this criterion , although most such proposals have been accepted . Contents ( hide ) 1 War Time 1918 and 1942 2 Daylight Saving Time 1945 to 1966 3 DST 1966 4 DST 2007 5 Start and end dates of United States Daylight Saving Time 6 See also 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links War time 1918 and 1942 ( edit ) `` War Time '' redirects here . This usage refers to the changes of the US War Time Act , not a general period of war . Daylight saving time was established by the Standard Time Act of 1918 . The Act was intended to save electricity for seven months of the year , during World War I. DST was repealed in 1919 over a Presidential veto , but standard time in time zones remained in law , with the Interstate Commerce Commission ( ICC ) having the authority over time zone boundaries . Daylight time became a local matter . During World War II , Congress enacted the War Time Act ( 56 Stat. 9 ) on January 20 , 1942 . Year - round DST was reinstated in the United States on February 9 , 1942 , again as a wartime measure to conserve energy resources . This remained in effect until after the end of the war . The Amendment to the War Time Act ( 59 Stat. 537 ) , enacted September 25 , 1945 , ended DST as of September 30 , 1945 . During this period , the official designation War Time was used for year - round DST . For example , Eastern War Time ( EWT ) would be the equivalent of Eastern Daylight Time during this period . Daylight saving time 1945 to 1966 ( edit ) From 1945 to 1966 U.S. federal law did not address DST . States and cities were free to observe DST or not , and most places that did observe DST did so from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in September . In the mid-1950s many areas in the northeastern United States began extending DST to the last Sunday in October . The lack of standardization led to a patchwork where some areas observed DST while adjacent areas did not , and it was not unheard of to have to reset a clock several times during a short trip ( e.g. , bus drivers operating on West Virginia Route 2 between Moundsville , West Virginia , and Steubenville , Ohio had to reset their watches seven times over 35 miles ) . In summer 1960 April -- October Daylight Time was nearly universal in Pennsylvania , Maryland , Delaware and states east and north of there . In Minnesota , Iowa , Missouri , Kentucky and Virginia and states north and east of there , some areas had it and some did not . Except for California and Nevada , which had April - Sept Daylight Time , 99 % of the rest of the country used Standard Time year - round . ( The Official Guide says `` State law prohibits the observance of `` Daylight Saving '' time in Kentucky but Anchorage , Louisville and Shelbyville will advance their clocks one hour from Central Standard time for the period April 24 to October 29 , inclusive. `` ) In the middle 1960s the airline and other transportation industries lobbied for uniformity of Daylight dates in the United States . DST 1966 ( edit ) The U.S. federal Uniform Time Act became law on April 13 , 1966 and it mandated that DST begin nationwide on the last Sunday in April and end on the last Sunday in October , effective in 1967 . The act explicitly preempted all previously enacted state laws related to the beginning and ending of DST . Any state that wanted to be exempt from DST could do so by passing a state law , provided that it exempted the entire state , and Alaska , Arizona , Hawaii , Indiana , and Michigan chose to do so . However , Alaska , Indiana , and Michigan subsequently chose to observe DST . The law was amended in 1972 to permit states that straddle a time zone boundary to exempt the entire area of the state lying in one time zone . Indiana chose to exempt the portion of the state lying in the Eastern Time Zone ; however , that exemption was eliminated in 2006 and the entire state of Indiana now observes DST , leaving Arizona ( with the exception of the Navajo Indian Reservation ) and Hawaii as the only two states not to observe DST . On July 8 , 1986 , President Ronald Reagan signed the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1986 into law that contained a daylight saving rider authored by Senator Slade Gorton ( R - WA ) . The starting date of DST was amended to the first Sunday in April effective in 1987 . DST continued to end on the last Sunday in October . While the states retain the capability to exempt themselves from DST , they are forbidden by the 1966 federal law ( 15 USC 260a ( b ) ) from increasing a state 's time spent on DST , unless the United States Congress does this for the entire nation . In response to the 1973 energy crisis , DST in the United States began earlier in both 1974 and 1975 , commencing on the first Sunday in January ( January 6 ) in the former year and the last Sunday in February ( February 23 ) in the latter . The extension of daylight saving time was not continued due to public opposition to late sunrise times during the winter months . In 1976 , the United States reverted to the schedule set in the Uniform Time Act . DST 2007 ( edit ) Starting March 11 , 2007 , DST was extended another four to five weeks , from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November . The change was introduced by Representatives Fred Upton ( R - MI ) and Edward Markey ( D - MA ) and added to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ; the House had originally approved a motion that would have extended DST even farther from the first Sunday in March to the last Sunday in November , but Senators Jeff Bingaman ( D - NM ) and Pete Domenici ( R - NM ) agreed to scale back the proposal in conference committee due to complaints from farmers and the airline industry . Proponents claimed that the extension would save `` the equivalent of '' 10,000 barrels ( 1,600 m ) of oil per day , but this figure was based on U.S. Department of Energy information from the 1970s , the accuracy and relevance of which the DoE no longer stands by . Later studies by the U.S. Department of Energy and the California Energy Commission have predicted much smaller energy benefits . There is very little recent research on what the actual positive effects , if any , might be . Since DST moves sunrise one hour later by the clock , late sunrise times become a problem when DST is observed either too far before the vernal equinox or too far after the autumnal equinox . Because of this , the extension was greeted with criticism by those concerned for the safety of children who would have been forced to travel to school before sunrise , especially in the month of March . In addition , the airline industry was especially concerned if DST were to be extended through to the last Sunday in November , as this is very often ( 6 out of every 7 years ) the Sunday after Thanksgiving . This is one of the busiest travel days at American airports , and could have resulted in much havoc among travelers who forgot that the clocks were changing that day . If the original proposal to extend DST through the last Sunday in November had been adopted , the entire United States , with the exception of the states that exempted themselves , would have experienced the latest sunrises of the year during the month of November , which would have approached the extremely late sunrise times when DST went into effect on January 6 , 1974 due to the 1973 energy crisis creeping after 9 am in places like New Salem , North Dakota at the northwestern edges of time zones .

Founded in 1693 by letters patent issued by King William III and Queen Mary II , it is the second - oldest institution of higher education in the United States , after Harvard University . William & Mary educated American Presidents Thomas Jefferson ( third ) , James Monroe ( fifth ) , and John Tyler ( tenth ) as well as other key figures important to the development of the nation , including the fourth U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall of Virginia , Speaker of the House of Representatives Henry Clay of Kentucky , sixteen members of the Continental Congress , and four signers of the Declaration of Independence , earning it the nickname `` the Alma Mater of the Nation . '' A young George Washington ( 1732 -- 1799 ) also received his surveyor 's license through the college . W&M students founded the Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society in 1776 and W&M was the first school of higher education in the United States to install an honor code of conduct for students . The establishment of graduate programs in law and medicine in 1779 makes it one of the earliest higher level universities in the United States . In addition to its undergraduate program ( which includes an international joint degree program with the University of St Andrews in Scotland and a joint engineering program with Columbia University in New York City ) , W&M is home to several graduate programs ( including computer science , public policy , physics , and colonial history ) and four professional schools ( law , business , education , and marine science ) . In his 1985 book Public Ivies : A Guide to America 's Best Public Undergraduate Colleges and Universities , Richard Moll categorized William & Mary as one of eight `` Public Ivies '' .

The college was founded on February 8 , 1693 , under a royal charter ( legally , letters patent ) to `` make , found and establish a certain Place of Universal Study , a perpetual College of Divinity , Philosophy , Languages , and other good arts and sciences ... to be supported and maintained , in all time coming . '' Named in honor of the reigning monarchs King William III and Queen Mary II , the college is the second oldest college in the United States . The original plans for the college date back to 1618 but were thwarted by the Indian Massacre of 1622 , a change in government ( in 1624 , the Virginia Company 's charter was revoked by King James I and the Virginia Colony was transferred to royal authority as a crown colony ) , events related to the English Civil War , and Bacon 's Rebellion . In 1695 before the town of Williamsburg existed , construction began on the College Building , now known as the Sir Christopher Wren Building , in what was then called Middle Plantation ( Virginia ) . It is the oldest college building in America . The college is one of the country 's nine Colonial Colleges founded before the American Revolution . The Charter named James Blair as the college 's first president ( a lifetime appointment which he held until his death in 1743 ) . William & Mary was founded as an Anglican institution ; students were required to be members of the Church of England , and professors were required to declare adherence to the Thirty - Nine Articles . In 1693 , the college was given a seat in the House of Burgesses and it was determined the college would be supported by tobacco taxes and export duties on furs and animal skins . The college acquired a 330 acres ( 1.3 km ) parcel for the new school , 8 miles ( 13 km ) from Jamestown . In 1694 , the new school opened in temporary buildings . Williamsburg was granted a royal charter as a city in 1722 by The Crown and served as the capital of Colonial Virginia from 1699 to 1780 . During this time , the college served as a law center and lawmakers frequently used its buildings . It educated future U.S. Presidents Thomas Jefferson , James Monroe , and John Tyler . The college has been called `` the Alma Mater of a Nation '' because of its close ties to America 's founding fathers . A 17 - year - old George Washington received his surveyor 's license through the college and would return as its first American chancellor . William & Mary is famous for its firsts : the first U.S. institution with a royal charter , the first Greek - letter society ( Phi Beta Kappa , founded in 1776 ) , the first collegiate society in the country ( F.H.C. Society , founded in 1750 ) , the first student honor code and the first law school in America . The college became a state - supported school in 1906 and became coeducational in 1918 . In 1928 , John D. Rockefeller , Jr. chose the College Building as the first building to be returned to its 18th - century appearance as part of the iconic Colonial Williamsburg restoration . Revolution and transition ( edit ) James Monroe , 5th President of US , W&M alumnus During the period of the American Revolution , freedom of religion was established in Virginia notably with the 1786 passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom . Future U.S. President James Madison was a key figure in the transition to religious freedom in Virginia , and Right Reverend James Madison , his cousin and Thomas Jefferson , who was on the Board of Visitors , helped the College of William & Mary to make the transition as well . In 1779 the college became the first American university with the establishment of the graduate schools in law and medicine . As its president , Reverend Madison worked with the new leaders of Virginia , most notably Jefferson , on a reorganization and changes for the college which included the abolition of the Divinity School and the Indian School and the establishment of the first elective system of study and honor system . The College of William and Mary is home to the nation 's first collegiate secret society , the F.H.C. Society , popularly known as the Flat Hat Club , founded November 11 , 1750 . On December 5 , 1776 , students John Heath and William Short ( Class of 1779 ) founded Phi Beta Kappa as a secret literary and philosophical society . Other secret societies known to currently exist at the college include : The 7 Society , 13 Club , Alpha Club , Bishop James Madison Society , The Society , The Spades , W Society , and Wren Society . In 1842 , alumni of the college formed the Society of the Alumni which is now the sixth oldest alumni organization in the United States . In 1859 , a great fire caused destruction to the College Building . The Alumni House is one of the few original antebellum structures remaining on campus ; notable others include the Wren Building , the President 's House , the Brafferton , and Prince George House . Civil War , reconstruction , and the early 20th century ( edit ) College Building , 1859 -- 1862 At the outset of the American Civil War ( 1861 -- 1865 ) , enlistments in the Confederate States Army depleted the student body ; and on May 10 , 1861 , the faculty voted to close the college for the duration of the conflict . The College Building was used as a Confederate barracks and later as a hospital , first by Confederate , and later Union forces . The Battle of Williamsburg was fought nearby during the Peninsula Campaign on May 5 , 1862 , and the city was captured by the Union army the next day . The Brafferton building of the college was used for a time as quarters for the commanding officer of the Union garrison occupying the town . On September 9 , 1862 , drunken soldiers of the 5th Pennsylvania Cavalry set fire to the College Building , purportedly in an attempt to prevent Confederate snipers from using it for cover . Much damage was done to the community during the Union occupation , which lasted until September 1865 . Following restoration of the Union , Virginia was destitute from the War . The college 's 16th president , Benjamin Stoddert Ewell , finally reopened the school in 1869 using his personal funds but the college closed in 1882 due to lack of funds . In 1888 , William & Mary resumed operations under a substitute charter when the Commonwealth of Virginia passed an act appropriating $10,000 to support the college as a state teacher - training institution . Lyon Gardiner Tyler ( son of US President and alumnus John Tyler ) became the 17th president of the college following President Ewell 's retirement . Tyler , along with 18th president J.A.C. Chandler , expanded the college into a modern institution . In March 1906 , the General Assembly passed an act taking over the grounds of the colonial institution , and it has remained publicly supported ever since . In 1918 , William & Mary became one of the first universities in Virginia to admit women and become coeducational . During this time , enrollment increased from 104 students in 1889 to 1269 students by 1932 . The college , c. 1902 Largely thanks to the vision of a William and Mary instructor , Reverend Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin , the College Building , the President 's House and the Brafferton ( originally the Indian School ) were restored to their 18th century appearance between 1928 and 1932 with substantial financial support from John D. Rockefeller , Jr. and his wife , Abby Aldrich Rockefeller . Together , they led the establishment and beginnings of Colonial Williamsburg . 1930 -- present ( edit ) In 1930 , William & Mary expanded its territorial range by establishing a branch in Norfolk , Virginia -- The Norfolk Division of the College of William & Mary . This extension would eventually become the independent state - supported institution known as Old Dominion University . Significant campus construction continued under the college 's nineteenth president , John Stewart Bryan . President Franklin D. Roosevelt received an honorary degree from the college on October 20 , 1934 . In 1935 , the Sunken Garden was constructed , just west of the Wren Building . The sunken design is taken from a similar landscape feature at Royal Hospital Chelsea in London , designed by Sir Christopher Wren . The college has a history of supporting freedom of the press dating back at least to the 1940s . In 1945 , for example , the college administration sanctioned the student Marilyn Kaemmerle for an article she had written in The Flat Hat supporting the end of racist policies of segregation , anti-miscegenation laws and white supremacy . According to Time magazine , in response , over one - thousand William & Mary students held `` a spirited mass meeting protesting infringement of the sacred principles of freedom of the press bequeathed by Alumnus Thomas Jefferson . '' She was pardoned by the college Board of Visitors decades later . The college admitted Hulon Willis into a graduate program in 1951 because the program was unavailable at Virginia State . However , the college did not open all programs to African - American students until around 1970 . In 1960 , The Colleges of William & Mary , a short - lived five campus university system , was founded . It included the College of William & Mary , the Richmond Professional Institute , the Norfolk Division of the College of William & Mary , Christopher Newport College , and Richard Bland College . It was dissolved in 1962 . In 1974 , Jay Winston Johns willed Highland , the 535 - acre ( 2.17 km ) historic Albemarle County , Virginia estate of alumnus and U.S. President James Monroe , to the college . The college restored this historic presidential home near Charlottesville and opened it to the public . Earl Gregg Swem Library at The College of William & Mary in Virginia . On July 25 , 2012 , Eastern Virginia Medical School ( EVMS ) , in nearby Norfolk , Virginia made a joint announcement with William & Mary that the two schools were considering merging so that EVMS would become the William & Mary School of Medicine . Any such merger would have to be confirmed by the two schools and then confirmed by the Virginia General Assembly and Governor . A pilot relationship , supported by a $200,000 grant in the Virginia budget , was subsequently agreed upon by both universities to examine this possible union in reality . Campus ( edit ) The college is located on a 1,200 - acre ( 490 ha ) campus in Williamsburg , Virginia . In 2011 , Travel + Leisure named William & Mary one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States . The Sir Christopher Wren Building is the oldest college building in the United States and a National Historic Landmark . The building , colloquially referred to as the `` Wren Building '' , was named upon its renovation in 1931 to honor the English architect Sir Christopher Wren . The basis for the 1930s name is a 1724 history in which Hugh Jones stated the 1699 design was `` first modelled by Sir Christopher Wren '' and then was adapted `` by the Gentlemen there '' in Virginia ; little is known about how it looked , since it burned within a few years of its completion . Today 's Wren Building is based on the design of its 1716 replacement . The college 's alumni association has suggested that Wren 's connection to the 1931 building is a viable subject of investigation . Two other buildings around the Wren Building complete a triangle known unofficially as `` Ancient Campus '' : the Brafferton ( built in 1723 and originally housing the Indian School , now the President and Provost 's offices ) and the President 's House ( built in 1732 ) . In addition to the `` Ancient Campus '' , which dates to the 18th century , the college also consists of `` Old Campus '' and `` New Campus . '' `` Old Campus '' consists of academic buildings and dormitories built in close proximity to the Wren Building and match the Georgian and Anglo - Dutch architecture of the colonial buildings of `` Ancient Campus '' and Colonial Williamsburg . Located directly to the west of the Wren Building , the majority of `` Old Campus '' was constructed during the 1920s and 1930s and is dominated by the Sunken Gardens and the college 's football stadium , Zable Stadium . Also located within `` Old Campus '' are Sorority Court , the majority of upperclassmen dormitories , and the offices and classrooms of the History , Economics , Government , Philosophy , Religion , Music , Modern Language , and English Departments . Adjoining `` Old Campus '' to the north and west is `` New Campus . '' It was constructed primarily between 1950 and 1980 , and it consists of academic buildings and dormitories that , while of the same brick construction as `` Old Campus '' , fit into the vernacular of modern architecture . Beginning with the college 's tercentenary in 1993 , the college has embarked on a building and renovation program that favors the traditional architectural style of `` Old Campus '' , while incorporating energy - efficient technologies . Several buildings constructed since the 1990s have been LEED certified . Additionally , as the buildings of `` New Campus '' are renovated after decades of use , several have been remodeled to incorporate more traditional architectural elements in an effort to unify the appearance of the entire college campus . `` New Campus '' is dominated by William and Mary Hall , Earl Gregg Swem Library , and Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Hall . It also includes the offices and classrooms of the Mathematics , Physics , Psychology , Biology , and Chemistry Departments , the majority of freshman dormitories , the fraternity complex , and the majority of the college 's athletic fields . The newest addition to `` New Campus '' is Alan B. Miller Hall , the headquarters of the college 's Mason School of Business . The renovated Matoaka Amphitheater scenically located on the shore of Lake Matoaka . The recent wave of construction at William and Mary has resulted in a new building for the School of Education , located not far from William and Mary Hall . Additionally , new facilities have freed up space in existing structures . The offices and classrooms of the Government , Economics , and Classical Language Departments , which share a building on `` New Campus '' ( Morton Hall ) , could potentially be separated and some relocated to vacant buildings recently renovated within the `` Old Campus '' . The vast majority of William and Mary 's 1,200 acres ( 4.9 km ) consists of woodlands and Lake Matoaka , an artificial lake created by colonists in the early 18th century . The college has shown a dedication to the stewardship and preservation of these natural elements , which are accessible via the trails running throughout the campus . The college also has property and buildings not contiguous to campus , including the William and Mary School of Law and the McCormack - Nagelsen Tennis Center , both located on a piece of property approximately four blocks southeast of the Wren Building . Additionally , approximately a mile northwest of `` New Campus '' is the Dillard Complex ( located across from the modern campus of Virginia 's Eastern State Hospital ) , which is home to several offices , two former dormitories , and Plumeri Park , the college 's baseball stadium . Organization and administration ( edit ) See also : List of presidents of the College of William & Mary and Chancellor of the College of William & Mary Current president W. Taylor Reveley III The Board of Visitors is a corporation established by the General Assembly of Virginia to govern and supervise the operation of the College of William & Mary and of Richard Bland College . The corporation is composed of 17 members appointed by the Governor of Virginia , based upon the recommendations made by the Society of the Alumni , to a maximum of two - successive four - year terms . The Board elects a Rector , Vice Rector , and Secretary and the Board meets four times annually . The Board is responsible for appointing a president , related administrative officers , and an honorary chancellor , approving degrees , admission policies , departments , and schools , and executing the fiduciary duties of supervising the college 's property and finances . The Chancellor of the College of William and Mary is largely a ceremonial role . Until 1776 , the position was held by an English subject , usually the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Bishop of London , who served as the college 's advocate to the crown , while a colonial President oversaw the day - to - day activities of the Williamsburg campus . Following the Revolutionary War , General George Washington was appointed as the first American chancellor ; later United States President John Tyler held the post . The college has recently had a number of distinguished chancellors : former Chief Justice of the United States Warren E. Burger ( 1986 -- 1993 ) , former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher ( 1993 -- 2000 ) , former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger ( 2000 -- 2005 ) , and former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor ( 2005 -- 2012 ) . Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates , himself an alumnus of the college , succeeded O'Connor in February 2012 . The Board of Visitors delegates to a president the operating responsibility and accountability for the administrative , fiscal , and academic performance of the college as well as representing the college on public occasions such as conferral of degrees . In September 2008 , W. Taylor Reveley III became the 27th President of the college , succeeding Gene Nichol . The president is assisted by a provost , the senior academic officer of the university , and several vice presidents . Faculty members are organized into separate faculties of the Faculty of Arts and Science as well as those for the respective schools of Business , Education , Law , and Virginia Institute of Marine Science . Each faculty is presided over by a dean , who reports to the provost , and governs itself through separate by - laws approved by the Board of Visitors .

Several members of the socially elite and politically influential Tucker family , including Nathaniel Beverley , St. George , and Henry St. George Tucker Sr. ( who penned the original honor code pledge for the University of Virginia that remains in use there today ) , taught at William & Mary . More recently , William & Mary recruited the constitutional scholar William Van Alstyne from Duke Law School .

These organizations hold events to promote the spread and awareness of different cultures from around the world . Honor system ( edit ) Thomas Jefferson William & Mary 's honor system was first established by alumnus Thomas Jefferson in 1779 and is widely believed to be the nation 's first . During the orientation week , every entering student recites the Honor Pledge in the Great Hall of the Wren Building pledging : As a Member of the William & Mary community I pledge , on my Honor , not to lie , cheat , or steal in either my academic or personal life . I understand that such acts violate the Honor Code and undermine the community of trust of which we are all stewards . The basis of W&M 's Honor Pledge was written over 150 years ago by alumnus and law professor Henry St. George Tucker Sr. While teaching law at the University of Virginia , Tucker proposed students attach a pledge to all exams confirming on their honor they did not receive any assistance . Tucker 's honor pledge was the early basis of the Honor System at the University of Virginia . At W&M , the Honor System stands as one of the college 's most important traditions ; it remains student - administered through the Honor Council with the advice of the faculty and administration of the college . The college 's Honor System is codified such that students found guilty of cheating , stealing or lying are subject to sanctions ranging anywhere from a verbal warning up to expulsion . Student code of conduct ( edit ) William and Mary considers the observance of public laws of equal importance to the observance of its own regulations . William and Mary 's Board of Visitors delegates authority for discipline to its president . The President oversees a hierarchy of disciplinary authorities to enforce local laws as it pertains to William and Mary 's interest as well as its internal regulatory system . Traditions ( edit ) Crim Dell bridge in the heart of W&M 's wooded campus William & Mary has a number of traditions , including the Yule Log Ceremony , at which the president dresses as Santa Claus and reads a rendition of `` How the Grinch Stole Christmas '' , the Vice-President of Student Affairs reads `` Twas the Night Before Finals '' , and The Gentlemen of the College sing the song `` The Twelve Days of Christmas '' . Christmas is a grand celebration at the college ; decorated Christmas trees abound on campus . This popular tradition in fact started when German immigrant Charles Minnegerode , a humanities professor at the college in 1842 who taught Latin and Greek , brought one of the first Christmas trees to America . Entering into the social life of post-colonial Virginia , Minnigerode introduced the German custom of decorating an evergreen tree at Christmas at the home of law professor St. George Tucker , thereby becoming another of many influences that prompted Americans to adopt the practice at about that time . Incoming freshmen participate in Opening Convocation , at which they pass through the entrance of the Wren Building and are officially welcomed as the newest members of the college . Freshmen also have the opportunity , during orientation week , to serenade the president of the college at his home with the Alma Mater song . The Senior Walk is similar , in that graduating seniors walk through the Wren Building in their `` departure '' from the college . On the last day of classes , Seniors are invited to ring the bell in the cupola of the Wren Building . One unofficial tradition is the Triathlon , a set of three tasks completed by many students prior to graduation . These include jumping the wall of the Governor 's Palace in Colonial Williamsburg after hours ( and if so inclined , running through the Boxwood Maze to the Palace itself ) , streaking through the Sunken Garden , and swimming in the Crim Dell pond . William and Mary also takes pride in their connections to their colonial past during Charter Day festivities . Charter Day is technically February 8 , based on the date ( from the Julian Calendar ) that the Reverend James Blair , first president of the college received the charter from the Court of William III and Mary II at Kensington Palace in 1693 . Past Charter Day speakers have included former US President John Tyler , Henry Kissinger , Margaret Thatcher , and Robert Gates . A unique tradition at William and Mary is the annual Raft Debate . Described by the college as `` ... a ' delicate balance of comedy and lecture , ' the annual Raft Debate features four W&M faculty members from diverse disciplines , stranded on a desolate island with only a one - person life raft for escape to civilization . Based on the volume of applause , the audience chooses the sole survivor as the professors cajole , plead , pontificate , and resort shamelessly to props and costumes . The quirky event originated in the mid-1900s and was revived during the 2000s by the Graduate Center , the A&S Office of Graduate Studies and Research , and the A&S Graduate Student Association . Faculty participants represent the Humanities , the Social Sciences , or the Natural and Computational Sciences . The Devil 's Advocate , who argues sarcastically that none of the academic disciplines are worth saving , has on rare occasion emerged victoriously . '' Commencement exercises each year begin with the senior class walking through the Wren Building and across the campus , crossing the Crim Dell bridge , and arriving at William & Mary Hall for the commencement ceremony . The graduating class processes into the arena as the Choir of the College of William & Mary sings the William & Mary Hymn . Fraternities and sororities ( edit ) Main article : College of William & Mary fraternity and sorority system William & Mary has a long history of fraternities and sororities dating back to Phi Beta Kappa , the first `` Greek - letter '' organization , which was founded there in 1776 . Today , Greek organizations play an important role in the college community , along with other social organizations ( e.g. theatre and club sports organizations ) . Overall , about one - third of its undergraduates are active members of 16 national fraternities and 13 sororities . William & Mary is also home to several unique non-Greek social fraternities , notably the Nu Kappa Epsilon music sorority , the Alpha Phi Omega co-ed service fraternity , and the Queens ' Guard .

Other musical ensembles at the college include an Early Music Ensemble , featuring medieval , renaissance and baroque music , a Jazz combo ensemble , a Jazz ensemble , the Wham Bam Big Band , a Mixed Ensemble which features chamber music , an Opera workshop , a percussion ensemble , saxophone ensemble , string ensemble , viol ensemble and wind ensemble . In addition to these traditional groups W&M offers a number of non-traditional and world music ensembles such as The Appalachian Music Ensemble , Indonesian Gamelan , Middle Eastern Music Ensemble , and performance art ensemble . Prior to 1996 the college also had a formal Marching Band , however from 1996 to present the college has joined the likes of Columbia University in having a scramble band on campus , known as the William & Mary Pep Band . Additionally , though not formally affiliated with the college , the William and Mary Bookstore hosts an Irish seisiún once a week . William and Mary 's radio station , WCWM , has been on the air since 1959 . Student and faculty DJs broadcast a variety of original programming and organize music performances such as the annual WCWM Fest . Comedy groups ( edit ) William and Mary has multiple campus comedy groups . I.T. ( short for Improvisational Theatre ) has been around since 1986 , The sketch comedy ensemble 7th Grade Sketch Comedy has been in existence since 1997 . In 2012 a new improvisational group , Sandbox Improv , was formed . While I.T. performs short form improv , Sandbox Improv is the only long - form improvisational team on William and Mary 's Campus . Dad Jeans Improv , around since 2016 , is an improv troupe that specializes in long - form improvisation with a technical element of some sort in each show . Athletics ( edit ) Main article : William & Mary Tribe Formerly known as the `` Indians '' , William & Mary 's athletic teams are now known as the `` Tribe '' . The college fields NCAA Division I teams for men and women in basketball , cross country , golf , gymnastics , soccer , swimming , tennis , and indoor and outdoor track and field . In addition , there are women 's field hockey , lacrosse and volleyball squads as well as men 's baseball and football . In the 2004 -- 05 season , the Tribe garnered five Colonial Athletic Association titles , and it leads the conference with over 80 titles . In that same year , several teams competed in the NCAA Championships , with the football team appearing in the Division I - AA national semifinals . The men 's cross country team finished 8th and 5th at the Division I NCAA Men 's Cross Country Championship in 2006 and 2009 , respectively . The William & Mary men 's basketball team is one of four original Division I schools that has never been to the NCAA Division I Men 's Basketball Tournament . There have been many recent notable athletes who competed for the Tribe . On the men 's soccer team , goalkeeper Adin Brown was a back - to - back NCAA First Team All - American in 1998 and 1999 . The track program has produced several All - Americans , including Brian Hyde , an Olympian and collegiate record holder in the 1500 - meter run , and Ed Moran , a gold medalist in the 5000 - meter run at the 2007 Pan American Games . The baseball program boasts a handful of current MLB players , including relief pitcher Bill Bray with the Cleveland Indians organization , 11 year MLB career Curtis Pride Montreal Expos , New York Yankees , Atlanta Braves , Detroit Tigers , and Colorado Rockies utility infielder Brendan Harris . The football program has also produced numerous NFL players and coaches : All - Pro safety Darren Sharper , current Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin , cornerback Derek Cox , kicker Steve Christie , long snapper Mike Leach , Walter Payton Award - winning quarterback Lang Campbell , wide receiver Dominique Thompson , Pro Football Hall of Fame coaches Marv Levy and Lou Holtz , and Jacksonville Jaguars linebackers coach Mark Duffner . In May 2006 , the NCAA ruled that the athletic logo , which includes two green and gold feathers , could create an environment that is offensive to the American Indian community , even though the Florida State Seminoles logo and Utah Utes logo were considered unoffensive . The college 's appeal regarding the use of the institution 's athletic logo to the NCAA Executive Committee was rejected . The `` Tribe '' nickname , by itself , was found to be neither hostile nor abusive , but rather communicates ennobling sentiments of commitment , shared idealism , community and common cause . The college stated it would phase out the use of the two feathers by the fall of 2007 , although they can still be seen prominently painted on streets throughout the campus . History of the W&M mascot and nicknames 1896 : The W&M football team was nicknamed `` The Orange and White '' after the team colors . 1909 : The uniform colors changed to the `` Orange and Black '' , because the white became dirty too quickly , according to one report . The team was consequently called `` The Orange and Black . '' 1916 : The nickname `` Indians '' was first referenced in the 1916 edition of the Colonial Echo referring to the basketball team . The teams adopted the nickname and a logo of an Indian with a knife and tomahawk . ( As part of its charter of 1693 , the college included an Indian School to evangelize and educate local Native American boys . ) 1923 : The college earned the nickname `` Fighting Virginians '' from the `` Northern Press '' as a result of the team 's effort in a 24 -- 7 loss to the Syracuse Orangemen . 1924 : The college 's colors were changed to green , gold and silver . The colors came from the college 's coat of arms . The change was officially made so that the college and athletic colors would be identical . 1924 : The term `` Tribe '' was first referenced in the 1924 edition of the Colonial Echo . Other nicknames that were given to the college 's teams during this time period and the years following it include Big Green , Braves and Warriors . Late 1930s to 1942 : An Indian pony WAMPO was used on the sidelines as a mascot . The pony often carried a rider in full Indian attire . WAMPO 's name was derived from `` William And Mary POny . '' 1947 : One sports write dubbed the W&M football team `` The Big Green Indians '' during its first post-season bowl bid . 1953 : The team became known as the `` Iron Indians '' , after the name appeared in a Richmond Times - Dispatch article . Mid-to - late - 1950s to mid-1990s : WAMI ( William And Mary Indian ) , a caricature similar to that used by the Cleveland Indians was used as a logo . The WAMPO and rider in buckskins tradition continued sporadically until the late 1980s . Often as part of cheerleading at William and Mary , including for games and parades , a man and / or woman wore Native American inspired costume . This was common from the 1950s through the early 1990s . The 1992 Colonial Echo yearbook includes mention of student Shawn Wilkins who dressed as the mascot . She wore a white dress with fringe , a headband with feathers , and her face was painted ( p. 309 ) . 1974 : A `` WM '' with feathers logo first appeared in a 1974 Football Yearbook and then on the helmets of the 1977 football team . 1978 : The Indian images were removed from the athletic logo . The term `` Indian '' was phased out by the early 1980s . The `` WM ' with two feathers became the college 's official new logo , and the term `` Tribe '' continued to be used . 1989 : A committee to examine school spirit and tradition was convened to discuss whether the Tribe nickname should be phased out . 2001 to 2005 : Briefly , a green costumed character named Colonel Ebirt served as an unofficial mascot . The character 's name was derived from the word Tribe spelled backwards . 2006 : In May , the National Collegiate Athletic Association determined that William and Mary could keep its Tribe nickname but had to do away with its logo because the two feathers potentially could be offensive . The college appealed the NCAA decision but received notice in August that the appeal had been denied . Subsequently , a selection process was conducted to select the college 's new mascot . In December 2009 , five finalists -- including a Griffin , King and Queen , the Phoenix , a Pug and the Wren -- were announced from more than 800 submissions . 2010 to present : On April 6 , 2010 , President Taylor Reveley announced that the college has selected the Griffin as its new mascot . The new mascot does not replace the university 's nickname of Tribe , nor the use of the stylized `` Tribe '' logo .

5367162184245280378 | White blood cell | White blood cell - wikipedia White blood cell This article is about the cells of the immune system also known as white blood cells . For the album by the band the White Stripes , see White Blood Cells ( album ) . White blood cell A scanning electron microscope image of normal circulating human blood . In addition to the irregularly shaped leukocytes , both red blood cells and many small disc - shaped platelets are visible . Details System Immune system Identifiers Acronym ( s ) WBC MeSH D007962 TH H2. 00.04. 1.02001 FMA 62852 Anatomical terms of microanatomy ( edit on Wikidata ) White blood cells ( also called leukocytes or leucocytes and abbreviated as WBCs ) are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders . All white blood cells are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as hematopoietic stem cells . Leukocytes are found throughout the body , including the blood and lymphatic system . All white blood cells have nuclei , which distinguishes them from the other blood cells , the anucleated red blood cells ( RBCs ) and platelets . Types of white blood cells can be classified in standard ways . Two pairs of broadest categories classify them either by structure ( granulocytes or agranulocytes ) or by cell lineage ( myeloid cells or lymphoid cells ) . These broadest categories can be further divided into the five main types : neutrophils , eosinophils ( acidophiles ) , basophils , lymphocytes , and monocytes . These types are distinguished by their physical and functional characteristics . Monocytes and neutrophils are phagocytic . Further subtypes can be classified ; for example , among lymphocytes , there are B cells , T cells , and NK cells . The number of leukocytes in the blood is often an indicator of disease , and thus the white blood cell count is an important subset of the complete blood count . The normal white cell count is usually between 4 × 10 / L and 1.1 × 10 / L. In the US , this is usually expressed as 4,000 to 11,000 white blood cells per microliter of blood . White blood cells make up approximately 1 % of the total blood volume in a healthy adult , making them substantially less numerous than the red blood cells at 40 % to 45 % . However , this 1 % of the blood makes a large difference to health , because immunity depends on it . An increase in the number of leukocytes over the upper limits is called leukocytosis . It is normal when it is part of healthy immune responses , which happen frequently . It is occasionally abnormal , when it is neoplastic or autoimmune in origin . A decrease below the lower limit is called leukopenia . This indicates a weakened immune system .

White cells are found in the buffy coat , a thin , typically white layer of nucleated cells between the sedimented red blood cells and the blood plasma . The scientific term leukocyte directly reflects its description . It is derived from the Greek roots leuk - meaning `` white '' and cyt - meaning `` cell '' . The buffy coat may sometimes be green if there are large amounts of neutrophils in the sample , due to the heme - containing enzyme myeloperoxidase that they produce . Types ( edit ) Overview ( edit ) 3D rendering of various types of white blood cells All white blood cells are nucleated , which distinguishes them from the anucleated red blood cells and platelets . Types of leukocytes can be classified in standard ways . Two pairs of broadest categories classify them either by structure ( granulocytes or agranulocytes ) or by cell lineage ( myeloid cells or lymphoid cells ) . These broadest categories can be further divided into the five main types : neutrophils , eosinophils , basophils , lymphocytes , and monocytes . These types are distinguished by their physical and functional characteristics . Monocytes and neutrophils are phagocytic . Further subtypes can be classified . Granulocytes are distinguished from agranulocytes by their nucleus shape ( lobed versus round , that is , polymorphonuclear versus mononuclear ) and by their cytoplasm granules ( present or absent , or more precisely , visible on light microscopy or not thus visible ) . The other dichotomy is by lineage : Myeloid cells ( neutrophils , monocytes , eosinophils and basophils ) are distinguished from lymphoid cells ( lymphocytes ) by hematopoietic lineage ( cellular differentiation lineage ) . Lymphocytes can be further classified as T cells , B cells , and natural killer cells .

Monocyte 5.3 % 15 -- 30 Monocytes migrate from the bloodstream to other tissues and differentiate into tissue resident macrophages , Kupffer cells in the liver . Kidney shaped None Hours to days Neutrophil ( edit ) Main article : Neutrophil Neutrophil engulfing anthrax bacteria Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cell , constituting 60 - 70 % of the circulating leukocytes , and including two functionally unequal subpopulations : neutrophil - killers and neutrophil - cagers . They defend against bacterial or fungal infection . They are usually first responders to microbial infection ; their activity and death in large numbers form pus . They are commonly referred to as polymorphonuclear ( PMN ) leukocytes , although , in the technical sense , PMN refers to all granulocytes . They have a multi-lobed nucleus , which consists of three to five lobes connected by slender strands . This gives the neutrophils the appearance of having multiple nuclei , hence the name polymorphonuclear leukocyte . The cytoplasm may look transparent because of fine granules that are pale lilac when stained . Neutrophils are active in phagocytosing bacteria and are present in large amount in the pus of wounds . These cells are not able to renew their lysosomes ( used in digesting microbes ) and die after having phagocytosed a few pathogens . Neutrophils are the most common cell type seen in the early stages of acute inflammation . The life span of a circulating human neutrophil is about 5.4 days . Eosinophil ( edit ) Main article : Eosinophil Eosinophils compose about 2 - 4 % of the WBC total . This count fluctuates throughout the day , seasonally , and during menstruation . It rises in response to allergies , parasitic infections , collagen diseases , and disease of the spleen and central nervous system . They are rare in the blood , but numerous in the mucous membranes of the respiratory , digestive , and lower urinary tracts . They primarily deal with parasitic infections . Eosinophils are also the predominant inflammatory cells in allergic reactions . The most important causes of eosinophilia include allergies such as asthma , hay fever , and hives ; and also parasitic infections . They secrete chemicals that destroy these large parasites , such as hook worms and tapeworms , that are too big for any one WBC to phagocytize . In general , their nucleus is bi-lobed . The lobes are connected by a thin strand . The cytoplasm is full of granules that assume a characteristic pink - orange color with eosin staining . Basophil ( edit ) Main article : Basophil Basophils are chiefly responsible for allergic and antigen response by releasing the chemical histamine causing the dilation of blood vessels . Because they are the rarest of the white blood cells ( less than 0.5 % of the total count ) and share physicochemical properties with other blood cells , they are difficult to study . They can be recognized by several coarse , dark violet granules , giving them a blue hue . The nucleus is bi - or tri-lobed , but it is hard to see because of the number of coarse granules that hide it . They excrete two chemicals that aid in the body 's defenses : histamine and heparin . Histamine is responsible for widening blood vessels and increasing the flow of blood to injured tissue . It also makes blood vessels more permeable so neutrophils and clotting proteins can get into connective tissue more easily . Heparin is an anticoagulant that inhibits blood clotting and promotes the movement of white blood cells into an area . Basophils can also release chemical signals that attract eosinophils and neutrophils to an infection site . Lymphocyte ( edit ) Main article : Lymphocyte Lymphocytes are much more common in the lymphatic system than in blood . Lymphocytes are distinguished by having a deeply staining nucleus that may be eccentric in location , and a relatively small amount of cytoplasm . Lymphocytes include : B cells make antibodies that can bind to pathogens , block pathogen invasion , activate the complement system , and enhance pathogen destruction . T cells : CD4 + helper T cells : T cells displaying co-receptor CD4 are known as CD4+ T cells . These cells have T - cell receptors and CD4 molecules that , in combination , bind antigenic peptides presented on major histocompatibility complex ( MHC ) class II molecules on antigen - presenting cells . Helper T cells make cytokines and perform other functions that help coordinate the immune response . In HIV infection , these T cells are the main index to identify the individual 's immune system integrity . CD8 + cytotoxic T cells : T cells displaying co-receptor CD8 are known as CD8+ T cells . These cells bind antigens presented on MHC I complex of virus - infected or tumour cells and kill them . Nearly all nucleated cells display MHC I . γδ T cells possess an alternative T cell receptor ( different from the αβ TCR found on conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells ) . Found in tissue more commonly than in blood , γδ T cells share characteristics of helper T cells , cytotoxic T cells , and natural killer cells . Natural killer cells are able to kill cells of the body that do not display MHC class I molecules , or display stress markers such as MHC class I polypeptide - related sequence A ( MIC - A ) . Decreased expression of MHC class I and up - regulation of MIC - A can happen when cells are infected by a virus or become cancerous . Monocyte ( edit ) Main article : Monocyte Monocytes , the largest type of WBCs , share the `` vacuum cleaner '' ( phagocytosis ) function of neutrophils , but are much longer lived as they have an extra role : they present pieces of pathogens to T cells so that the pathogens may be recognized again and killed . This causes an antibody response to be mounted . Monocytes eventually leave the bloodstream and become tissue macrophages , which remove dead cell debris as well as attack microorganisms . Neither dead cell debris nor attacking microorganisms can be dealt with effectively by the neutrophils . Unlike neutrophils , monocytes are able to replace their lysosomal contents and are thought to have a much longer active life . They have the kidney shaped nucleus and are typically agranulated . They also possess abundant cytoplasm . Fixed leucocytes ( edit ) HSC = Hematopoietic stem cell , Progenitor = Progenitor cell , L - blast = Lymphoblast , Lymphocyte , Mo - blast = Monoblast , Monocyte , Myeloblast , Pro-M = Promyelocyte , Myelocyte , Meta - M = Metamyelocyte , Neutrophil , Eosinophil , Basophil , Pro-E = Proerythroblast , Baso - E = Basophilic erythroblast , poly - E = Polychromatic erythroblast , Ortho - E = Orthochromatic erythroblast , Erythrocyte , Promegakaryocyte , Megakaryocyte , Platelet Some leucocytes migrate into the tissues of the body to take up a permanent residence at that location rather than remaining in the blood . Often these cells have specific names depending upon which tissue they settle in , such as fixed macrophages in the liver , which become known as Kupffer cells . These cells still serve a role in the immune system . Histiocytes Dendritic cells ( Although these will often migrate to local lymph nodes upon ingesting antigens ) Mast cells Microglia Disorders ( edit ) The two commonly used categories of white blood cell disorders divide them quantitatively into those causing excessive numbers ( proliferative disorders ) and those causing insufficient numbers ( leukopenias ) . Leukocytosis is usually healthy ( e.g. , fighting an infection ) , but it also may be dysfunctionally proliferative . WBC proliferative disorders can be classed as myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative . Some are autoimmune , but many are neoplastic . Another way to categorize disorders of white blood cells is qualitatively . There are various disorders in which the number of white blood cells is normal but the cells do not function normally . Neoplasia of WBCs can be benign but is often malignant . Of the various tumors of the blood and lymph , cancers of WBCs can be broadly classified as leukemias and lymphomas , although those categories overlap and are often grouped as a pair . Leucopenias ( edit ) Main article : Leucopenia A range of disorders can cause decreases in white blood cells . This type of white blood cell decreased is usually the neutrophil . In this case the decrease may be called neutropenia or granulocytopenia . Less commonly , a decrease in lymphocytes ( called lymphocytopenia or lymphopenia ) may be seen . Neutropenia ( edit ) Main article : Neutropenia Neutropenia can be acquired or intrinsic . A decrease in levels of neutrophils on lab tests is due to either decreased production of neutrophils or increased removal from the blood . The following list of causes is not complete . Medications - chemotherapy , sulfas or other antibiotics , phenothiazenes , benzodiazepines , antithyroids , anticonvulsants , quinine , quinidine , indomethacin , procainamide , thiazides Radiation Toxins - alcohol , benzenes Intrinsic disorders - Fanconi 's , Kostmann 's , cyclic neutropenia , Chédiak -- Higashi Immune dysfunction - disorders of collagen , AIDS , rheumatoid arthritis Blood cell dysfunction - megaloblastic anemia , myelodysplasia , marrow failure , marrow replacement , acute leukemia Any major infection Miscellaneous - starvation , hypersplenism Symptoms of neutropenia are associated with the underlying cause of the decrease in neutrophils . For example , the most common cause of acquired neutropenia is drug - induced , so an individual may have symptoms of medication overdose or toxicity . Treatment is also aimed at the underlying cause of the neutropenia . One severe consequence of neutropenia is that it can increase the risk of infection . Lymphocytopenia ( edit ) Main article : Lymphocytopenia Defined as total lymphocyte count below 1.0 x10 / L , the cells most commonly affected are CD4+ T cells . Like neutropenia , lymphocytopenia may be acquired or intrinsic and there are many causes . This is not a complete list . Inherited immune deficiency - severe combined immunodeficiency , common variable immune deficiency , ataxia - telangiectasia , Wiskott - Aldrich syndrome , immunodeficiency with short - limbed dwarfism , immunodeficiency with thymoma , purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency , genetic polymorphism Blood cell dysfunction - aplastic anemia Infectious diseases - viral ( AIDS , SARS , West Nile encephalitis , hepatitis , herpes , measles , others ) , bacterial ( TB , typhoid , pneumonia , rickettsiosis , ehrlichiosis , sepsis ) , parasitic ( acute phase of malaria ) Medications - chemotherapy ( antilymphocyte globulin therapy , alemtuzumab , glucocorticoids ) Radiation Major surgery Miscellaneous - ECMO , kidney or bone marrow transplant , hemodialysis , kidney failure , severe burn , celiac disease , severe acute pancreatitis , sarcoidosis , protein - losing enteropathy , strenuous exercise , carcinoma Immune dysfunction - arthritis , systemic lupus erythematosus , Sjögren syndrome , myasthenia gravis , systemic vasculitis , Behcet - like syndrome , dermatomyositis , granulomatosis with polyangiitis Nutritional / Dietary - alcohol abuse , zinc deficiency Like neutropenia , symptoms and treatment of lymphocytopenia are directed at the underlying cause of the change in cell counts . Proliferative disorders ( edit ) Main article : Leukocytosis An increase in the number of white blood cells in circulation is called leukocytosis . This increase is most commonly caused by inflammation . There are four major causes : increase of production in bone marrow , increased release from storage in bone marrow , decreased attachment to veins and arteries , decreased uptake by tissues . Leukocytosis may affect one or more cell lines and can be neutrophilic , eosinophilic , basophilic , monocytosis , or lymphocytosis . Neutrophilia ( edit ) Main article : Neutrophilia Neutrophilia is an increase in the absolute neutrophil count in the peripheral circulation . Normal blood values vary by age . Neutrophilia can be caused by a direct problem with blood cells ( primary disease ) . It can also occur as a consequence of an underlying disease ( secondary ) . Most cases of neutrophilia are secondary to inflammation . Primary causes Conditions with normally functioning neutrophils -- hereditary neutrophilia , chronic idiopathic neutrophilia Pelger -- Huet anomaly Down syndrome Leukocyte adhesion deficiency Familial cold urticaria Leukemia ( chronic myelogenous ( CML ) ) and other myeloproliferative disorders Surgical removal of spleen Secondary causes Infection Chronic inflammation -- especially juvenile rheumatoid arthritis , rheumatoid arthritis , Still 's disease , Crohn 's disease , ulcerative colitis , granulomatous infections ( for example , tuberculosis ) , and chronic hepatitis Cigarette smoking -- occurs in 25 -- 50 % of chronic smokers and can last up to 5 years after quitting Stress -- exercise , surgery , general stress Medication induced -- corticosteroids ( for example , prednisone , β - agonists , lithium ) Cancer -- either by growth factors secreted by the tumor or invasion of bone marrow by the cancer Increased destruction of cells in peripheral circulation can stimulate bone marrow . This can occur in hemolytic anemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura Eosinophilia ( edit ) Main article : Eosinophilia A normal eosinophil count is considered to be less than 0.65 × 10 / L. Eosinophil counts are higher in newborns and vary with age , time ( lower in the morning and higher at night ) , exercise , environment , and exposure to allergens . Eosinophilia is never a normal lab finding . Efforts should always be made to discover the underlying cause , though the cause may not always be found . Counting and reference ranges ( edit ) The complete blood cell count is a blood panel that includes the overall WBC count and various subsets such as the absolute neutrophil count . Reference ranges for blood tests specify the typical counts in healthy people . TLC - ( Total leucocyte count ) : Normal TLC in an adult person is 6000 - 8000WBC / mm ^ 3 of blood . DLC - ( Differential leucocyte count ) : Number / ( % ) of different type of leucocyte in per cubic mm. of blood .

"White blood cells (also called leukocytes or leucocytes and abbreviated as WBCs) are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All white blood cells are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as hematopoietic stem cells. Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the blood and lymphatic system.[1]\n"

He is prone to angry , profane rants . As a parent , Frank often responds to his children with profanity and emotional abuse . The Murphy children often go out of their way to avoid upsetting their father . Frank works as a baggage handler at the local Mohican Airlines , and is promoted to management after his boss dies in a violent workplace accident . Frank is usually seen spending many hours in front of his television set while at home . Frank 's favorite show is an action series called Colt Luger . Luger , an overweight middle - aged character who is portrayed as an unerringly victorious hero . When facing dire situations , Luger utters the phrase `` Sometimes , a man 's got to do ... what a man does '' , much to Frank 's excitement . Laura Dern as Sue Murphy -- Frank 's wife who is a housewife , and also sells Plast - a-Ware ( a play on words of Tupperware . ) Justin Long as Kevin Murphy -- Frank 's teenage son who is a juvenile delinquent and a struggling rock musician . Despite his rebellious personality , Kevin often shows signs of love and respect for his parents and a desire to better himself ( although he rarely , if ever , follows through on the latter ) . Haley Reinhart as Bill Murphy , Frank 's younger son . Bill tends to be shy and is skinny . He gets bullied frequently . Despite his seemingly weak persona , Bill can often let his anger get the best of him . He is 11 years old in the first season . Debi Derryberry as Maureen Murphy -- Frank 's young daughter who he often refers to as `` Princess '' . However , even though Frank sees Maureen as a princess , Maureen is an intelligent child and can be destructive like the rest of her family members . However , Maureen is smart enough to hide it . Despite her generally girly appearance , Maureen can act somewhat tomboyish at times , much to Frank 's chagrin . Sam Rockwell as Vic -- Frank 's wealthy , womanizing neighbor , who brags a lot . Frank loathes him for his playboy lifestyle , laid - back attitude and successful career .

He was brought up by his father after his mother left when Carlyle was four years old . He left school at the age of 16 without any qualifications and worked for his father as a painter and decorator ; however , he continued his education by attending night classes at Cardonald College in Glasgow . Career ( edit ) Carlyle became involved in drama at the Glasgow Arts Centre at the age of 21 ( having been inspired by reading Arthur Miller 's The Crucible ) , and subsequently graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama ( RSAMD ) . In 1991 , he and four friends founded a theatre company , Raindog ( which was involved in television and film work ) . The same year he guest starred in The Bill and also starred in his first movie , Riff - Raff , directed by Ken Loach . In 1994 , he played the gay lover of Father Greg in the film Priest . Carlyle 's first high - profile role came as murderer Albert `` Albie '' Kinsella in an October 1994 episode of Cracker opposite Robbie Coltrane ( in which Kinsella killed five people , including Christopher Eccleston 's DCI David Bilborough ) . This highly acclaimed role showcased Carlyle 's `` pure intensity '' . Shortly after his appearance in Cracker , he landed the role of Highland policeman Hamish Macbeth in the BBC comedy - drama Hamish Macbeth . The series ran for three seasons from 1995 to 1997 . In 1996 and 1997 , he appeared in the two highest - profile roles of his career to date : as the psychopathic Francis Begbie in Trainspotting and Gaz , the leader of a group of male amateur strippers , in The Full Monty . The latter earned Carlyle a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role . He also starred with Ray Winstone in the 1997 film Face . Carlyle played the senior Malachy McCourt ( father of author Frank McCourt ) in the 1999 film adaptation of McCourt 's first memoir , Angela 's Ashes ; the arch villain Renard in the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough ; and a cannibalistic soldier in the 1999 Ravenous . Robert Carlyle in July 2009 . Carlyle appeared in the 2002 Oasis music video for `` Little By Little '' . He played Adolf Hitler in the 2003 miniseries Hitler : The Rise of Evil . In 2006 he played the villain Durza in Eragon . In 2007 Carlyle played one of the main characters in the film 28 Weeks Later . He also played the lead role as a marine engineer attempting to save London from total devastation in the disaster film Flood . That year he also portrayed Father Joseph Macavoy in the film The Tournament . In 2008 Carlyle narrated a BBC audiobook version of The Cutting Room . In 2008 , he was cast as Dr. Nicholas Rush in the television series Stargate Universe . His role in the series has been described thus : `` As ( the team fights ) to survive , Dr. Rush ( Carlyle ) works to unlock the mysteries of the ship and return the group home , but evidence of his ulterior motives soon arises . '' His was touted by the studio as the `` leading role '' in Universe . In December 2008 , Carlyle appeared in 24 : Redemption , a television movie based on the popular TV series 24 , starring alongside Kiefer Sutherland . In 2009 , Carlyle appeared in a long - form commercial for Johnnie Walker whisky , titled `` The Man Who Walked Around The World . '' Carlyle was shown walking down a path and talking for six minutes in a single long take . The ad took two days to film . The director , Jamie Rafn , afterwards referred to Carlyle as an `` utter genius '' . He voices the character of Gabriel Belmont , and his counterpart , Dracula in the video game Castlevania : Lords of Shadow , as well as its sequels Mirror of Fate and Lords of Shadow 2 . Since October 2011 Carlyle has portrayed Mr. Gold ( Rumplestiltskin ) in the fantasy - drama television series Once Upon A Time . The character is a wizard , deal - maker , and master manipulator . In 2018 , Carlyle will portray Ogilvy in a three part television adaption of The War of the Worlds for the BBC . Acting style ( edit ) Known for his commitment to authenticity in roles , Carlyle has often altered his lifestyle and physical appearance to gain a better understanding of a character -- much akin to method acting . Before playing a homeless character in Antonia Bird 's Safe , for example , he went to live in the Waterloo area of London where the film was set . For his role as a bus driver in Ken Loach 's Carla 's Song , he passed the test for a PSV licence ( a licence to drive a bus with passengers ) in a Glasgow Leyland Atlantean bus . Carlyle also removed two of his teeth before reprising his role as Begbie in T2 Trainspotting . Writing of Carlyle 's performance in The Full Monty , Andrew Johnston stated : `` Carlyle was brilliant as the savage psycho Begbie in Trainspotting ; here , he proves he can be almost as good when kept on a short leash . We do n't know much about Gaz , but he 's the most interesting character in the movie , largely because of Carlyle 's down - to - earth warmth . '' Personal Life ( edit ) Carlyle has been married to make - up artist Anastasia Shirley since 1997 . They have three children : Ava ( born 2002 ) , Harvey ( born 2004 ) , and Pearce Joseph ( born 2006 ) . The family lives in Glasgow . Carlyle is a patron of School For Life in Romania .

-587226068899228903 | Tablets of Stone | Tablets of stone - wikipedia Tablets of stone Jump to : navigation , search For funeral or commemorative tablets carved in stone , see Stele . Part of a series on The Ten Commandments I am the LORD thy God No other gods before me No graven images or likenesses Not take the LORD 's name in vain Remember the sabbath day Honour thy father and thy mother Thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not commit adultery Thou shalt not steal Thou shalt not bear false witness Thou shalt not covet Related articles Tablets of Stone Ritual Decalogue Catholic theology The Tables of the Law as they are widely known in English , or Tablets of Stone , Stone Tablets , or Tablets of Testimony ( in Hebrew : לוחות הברית Luchot HaBrit - `` the tablets ( of ) the covenant '' ) in the Hebrew Bible , were the two pieces of stone inscribed with the Ten Commandments when Moses ascended Mount Sinai as written in the Book of Exodus . Exodus 31 : 18 refers to the tablets as the `` Tablets of ( the ) Testimony '' . According to the Bible , there were two sets . The first , inscribed by God , ( Exodus 31 : 18 ) were smashed by Moses when he was enraged by the sight of the Children of Israel worshipping a golden calf ( Exodus 32 : 19 ) and the second were later cut by Moses and rewritten by God . ( Exodus 34 : 1 ) According to traditional teachings of Judaism in the Talmud , they were made of blue sapphire stone as a symbolic reminder of the sky , the heavens , and ultimately of God 's throne . Many Torah scholars , however , have opined that the Biblical `` sapir '' was , in fact , the lapis lazuli ( see Exodus 24 : 10 , lapis lazuli is a possible alternate rendering of `` sapphire '' the stone pavement under God 's feet when the intention to craft the tablets of the covenant is disclosed Exodus 24 : 12 ) . According to the bible , both the first shattered set and the second unbroken set were stored in the Ark of the Covenant ( the Aron Habrit in Hebrew ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Appearance of the tablets 2 Content 3 Christian replicas 4 In the Qur'an 5 Gallery 6 See also 7 References Appearance of the tablets ( edit ) A popular image of the Tablets as rounded - off rectangles bears little relationship with religious traditions about their appearance . In this case , the Ten Commandments are represented by the first ten letters of the Hebrew alphabet , which in Hebrew usage may be used interchangeably with the numbers 1 - 10 . Rectangular tablets passed down by the Hand of God in the 10th century Byzantine Leo Bible . In recent centuries the tablets have been popularly described and depicted as round - topped rectangles but this has little basis in religious tradition . According to Rabbinic tradition , they were rectangles , with sharp corners , and indeed they are so depicted in the 3rd century paintings at the Dura - Europos Synagogue and in Christian art throughout the 1st millennium , drawing on Jewish traditions of iconography . The rounded tablets appear in the Middle Ages , following in size and shape contemporary hinged writing tablets for taking notes ( with a stylus on a layer of wax on the insides ) . For Michelangelo and Andrea Mantegna they still have sharp corners ( see gallery ) , and are about the size found in Rabbinic tradition . Later artists such as Rembrandt tended to combine the rounded shape with the larger size . While , as mentioned above , Rabbinic tradition teaches that the tablets were squared , according to some authorities , the Rabbis themselves approved of rounded depictions of the tablets in replicas so that the replicas would not exactly match the historical tablets . According to the Talmud , the length and width of each of the Tablets was six Tefachim , and each was three Tefachim thick - respectively roughly 20 and ten inches , though they tend to be shown larger in art . Also according to tradition , the words were not engraved on the surface , but rather were bored fully through the stone . Content ( edit ) In Jewish religious tradition , the arrangement of the commandments on the two tablets is interpreted in different ways . Rabbi Hanina ben Gamaliel said that each tablet contained five commandments , `` but the Sages say ten on one tablet and ten on the other '' . Because the commandments establish a covenant , it is likely that they were duplicated on both tablets . This can be compared to diplomatic treaties of Ancient Egypt , in which a copy was made for each party . But the tablets may have contained not only the Ten Commandments but also additional precepts and words as can be inferred from the verses Exodus 31 : 18 , Exodus 34 : 1 , Exodus 34 : 27 - 28 . Christian replicas ( edit ) Replicas of the tablets , known as tabots or sellats , are a vital part of the practice of Ethiopian Orthodox Church , which claims that the original Ark of the Covenant is kept in the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Axum . In the qur'an ( edit ) Musa Mūsa ٰمُوسَى Moses Ten Commandments Tawrat Ṣuḥuf Mūsā ( Biblical and Quranic narratives Prophets and messengers in Islam Golden calf Asiya Balaam Samiri Ulu'l azm prophets Islam portal See also : Moses in Islam and Islamic ethics § Moral commandments The Quran states that tablets were given to Moses , without quoting their contents explicitly : `` And We ordained laws for him in the tablets in all matters , both commanding and explaining all things , ( and said ) : ' Take and hold these with firmness , and enjoin thy people to hold fast by the best in the precepts : soon shall I show you the homes of the wicked , - ( How they lie desolate ) . ' '' ( Quran 7 : 145 ) These tablets are not broken in the Quran , but picked up later : `` When Moses came back to his people , angry and grieved , he said : ' Evil it is that ye have done in my place in my absence : did ye make haste to bring on the judgment of your Lord ? ' He put down the tablets , seized his brother by ( the hair of ) his head , and dragged him to him ... '' ( Quran 7 : 150 ) . `` When the anger of Moses was appeased , he took up the tablets : in the writing thereon was guidance and Mercy for such as fear their Lord . '' ( Quran 7 : 154 ) .

The peninsula is principally divided between Portugal and Spain , comprising most of their territory . It also includes Andorra , the disputed Catalan Republic , and a small part of France along the peninsula 's northeastern edge , as well as Gibraltar on its south coast , a small peninsula that forms an overseas territory of the United Kingdom . With an area of approximately 582,000 km ( 225,000 sq mi ) , it is the second largest European peninsula , after the Scandinavian .

At that time , the name did not describe a single political entity or a distinct population of people . Strabo 's ' Iberia ' was delineated from Keltikē ( Gaul ) by the Pyrenees and included the entire land mass southwest ( he says `` west '' ) of there . The ancient Greeks reached the Iberian Peninsula , of which they had heard from the Phoenicians , by voyaging westward on the Mediterranean . Hecataeus of Miletus was the first known to use the term Iberia , which he wrote about circa 500 BC . Herodotus of Halicarnassus says of the Phocaeans that `` it was they who made the Greeks acquainted with ... Iberia . '' According to Strabo , prior historians used Iberia to mean the country `` this side of the Ἶβηρος ( Ibēros ) '' as far north as the river Rhône in France , but currently they set the Pyrenees as the limit . Polybius respects that limit , but identifies Iberia as the Mediterranean side as far south as Gibraltar , with the Atlantic side having no name . Elsewhere he says that Saguntum is `` on the seaward foot of the range of hills connecting Iberia and Celtiberia . '' Strabo refers to the Carretanians as people `` of the Iberian stock '' living in the Pyrenees , who are distinct from either Celts or Celtiberians . Roman names ( edit ) Main article : Hispania According to Charles Ebel , the ancient sources in both Latin and Greek use Hispania and Hiberia ( Greek : Iberia ) as synonyms . The confusion of the words was because of an overlapping in political and geographic perspectives . The Latin word Hiberia , similar to the Greek Iberia , literally translates to `` land of the Hiberians '' . This word was derived from the river Ebro , which the Romans called Hiberus . Hiber ( Iberian ) was thus used as a term for peoples living near the river Ebro . The first mention in Roman literature was by the annalist poet Ennius in 200 BC . Virgil refers to the Ipacatos Hiberos ( `` restless Iberi '' ) in his Georgics . The Roman geographers and other prose writers from the time of the late Roman Republic called the entire peninsula Hispania . As they became politically interested in the former Carthaginian territories , the Romans began to use the names Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior for ' near ' and ' far ' Hispania . At the time Hispania was made up of three Roman provinces : Hispania Baetica , Hispania Tarraconensis , and Lusitania . Strabo says that the Romans use Hispania and Iberia synonymously , distinguishing between the near northern and the far southern provinces . ( The name `` Iberia '' was ambiguous , being also the name of the Kingdom of Iberia in the Caucasus . ) Whatever language may generally have been spoken on the peninsula soon gave way to Latin , except for that of the Vascones , which was preserved as a language isolate by the barrier of the Pyrenees . Etymology ( edit ) Northeast Iberian script from Huesca . The Iberian Peninsula has always been associated with the Ebro , Ibēros in ancient Greek and Ibērus or Hibērus in Latin . The association was so well known it was hardly necessary to state ; for example , Ibēria was the country `` this side of the Ibērus '' in Strabo . Pliny goes so far as to assert that the Greeks had called `` the whole of Spain '' Hiberia because of the Hiberus River . The river appears in the Ebro Treaty of 226 BC between Rome and Carthage , setting the limit of Carthaginian interest at the Ebro . The fullest description of the treaty , stated in Appian , uses Ibērus . With reference to this border , Polybius states that the `` native name '' is Ibēr , apparently the original word , stripped of its Greek or Latin - os or - us termination . The early range of these natives , which geographers and historians place from today 's southern Spain to today 's southern France along the Mediterranean coast , is marked by instances of a readable script expressing a yet unknown language , dubbed `` Iberian . '' Whether this was the native name or was given to them by the Greeks for their residence on the Ebro remains unknown . Credence in Polybius imposes certain limitations on etymologizing : if the language remains unknown , the meanings of the words , including Iber , must also remain unknown . In modern Basque , the word ibar means `` valley '' or `` watered meadow '' , while ibai means `` river '' , but there is no proof relating the etymology of the Ebro River with these Basque names . In Serbia , there is river Ibar , but there is no proof relating the etymology of the Ebro River with this Serbian river name . Pre-history ( edit ) Main article : Prehistoric Iberia Schematic rock art from the Iberian Peninsula . Iberian Late Bronze Age since c. 1300 BC Palaeolithic ( edit ) The Iberian Peninsula has been inhabited for at least 1.2 million years as remains found in the sites in the Atapuerca Mountains demonstrate . Among these sites is the cave of Gran Dolina , where six hominin skeletons , dated between 780,000 and one million years ago , were found in 1994 . Experts have debated whether these skeletons belong to the species Homo erectus , Homo heidelbergensis , or a new species called Homo antecessor . Around 200,000 BP , during the Lower Paleolithic period , Neanderthals first entered the Iberian Peninsula . Around 70,000 BP , during the Middle Paleolithic period , the last glacial event began and the Neanderthal Mousterian culture was established . Around 37,000 BP , during the Upper Paleolithic , the Neanderthal Châtelperronian cultural period began . Emanating from Southern France , this culture extended into the north of the peninsula . It continued to exist until around 30,000 BP , when Neanderthal man faced extinction . About 40,000 years ago , anatomically modern humans entered the Iberian Peninsula from Southern France . Here , this genetically homogeneous population ( characterized by the M173 mutation in the Y chromosome ) , developed the M343 mutation , giving rise to Haplogroup R1b , still the most common in modern Portuguese and Spanish males . On the Iberian Peninsula , modern humans developed a series of different cultures , such as the Aurignacian , Gravettian , Solutrean and Magdalenian cultures , some of them characterized by the complex forms of the art of the Upper Paleolithic . Neolithic ( edit ) During the Neolithic expansion , various megalithic cultures developed in the Iberian Peninsula . An open seas navigation culture from the east Mediterranean , called the Cardium culture , also extended its influence to the eastern coasts of the peninsula , possibly as early as the 5th millennium BC . These people may have had some relation to the subsequent development of the Iberian civilization . Chalcolithic ( edit ) In the Chalcolithic ( c. 3000 BC ) , a series of complex cultures developed that would give rise to the peninsula 's first civilizations and to extensive exchange networks reaching to the Baltic , Middle East and North Africa . Around 2800 -- 2700 BC , the Beaker culture , which produced the Maritime Bell Beaker , probably originated in the vibrant copper - using communities of the Tagus estuary in Portugal and spread from there to many parts of western Europe . Bronze Age ( edit ) Bronze Age cultures developed beginning c. 1800 BC , when the civilization of Los Millares was followed by that of El Argar . From this centre , bronze technology spread to other cultures like the Bronze of Levante , South - Western Iberian Bronze and Las Cogotas . In the Late Bronze Age , the urban civilisation of Tartessos developed in the area of modern western Andalusia , characterized by Phoenician influence and using the Southwest Paleohispanic script for its Tartessian language , not related to the Iberian language . Early in the first millennium BC , several waves of Pre-Celts and Celts migrated from Central Europe , thus partially changing the peninsula 's ethnic landscape to Indo - European - speaking in its northern and western regions . In Northwestern Iberia ( modern Northern Portugal , Asturias and Galicia ) , a Celtic culture developed , the Castro culture , with a large number of hill forts and some fortified cities . Proto - History ( edit ) Main article : Pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula By the Iron Age , starting in the 7th century BC , the Iberian Peninsula consisted of complex agrarian and urban civilizations , either Pre-Celtic or Celtic ( such as the Lusitanians , Celtiberians , Gallaeci , Astures , Celtici and others ) , the cultures of the Iberians in the eastern and southern zones and the cultures of the Aquitanian in the western portion of the Pyrenees . The seafaring Phoenicians , Greeks and Carthaginians successively settled along the Mediterranean coast and founded trading colonies there over a period of several centuries . Around 1100 BC , Phoenician merchants founded the trading colony of Gadir or Gades ( modern day Cádiz ) near Tartessos . In the 8th century BC , the first Greek colonies , such as Emporion ( modern Empúries ) , were founded along the Mediterranean coast on the east , leaving the south coast to the Phoenicians . The Greeks coined the name Iberia , after the river Iber ( Ebro ) . In the sixth century BC , the Carthaginians arrived in the peninsula while struggling with the Greeks for control of the Western Mediterranean . Their most important colony was Carthago Nova ( modern - day Cartagena , Spain ) . History ( edit ) Roman rule ( edit ) Main article : Hispania Roman conquest : 220 BC - 19 BC In 218 BC , during the Second Punic War against the Carthaginians , the first Roman troops invaded the Iberian Peninsula ; however , it was not until the reign of Augustus that it was annexed after two centuries of war with the Celtic and Iberian tribes and the Phoenician , Greek and Carthaginian colonies . The result was the creation of the province of Hispania . It was divided into Hispania Ulterior and Hispania Citerior during the late Roman Republic , and during the Roman Empire , it was divided into Hispania Tarraconensis in the northeast , Hispania Baetica in the south and Lusitania in the southwest . Hispania supplied the Roman Empire with silver , food , olive oil , wine , and metal . The emperors Trajan , Hadrian , Marcus Aurelius , and Theodosius I , the philosopher Seneca the Younger , and the poets Martial and Lucan were born from families living on the Iberian Peninsula . Germanic kingdoms ( edit ) Main articles : Visigothic Kingdom and Spania Germanic and Byzantine rule c. 560 In the early fifth century , Germanic peoples invaded the peninsula , namely the Suebi , the Vandals ( Silingi and Hasdingi ) and their allies , the Alans . Only the kingdom of the Suebi ( Quadi and Marcomanni ) would endure after the arrival of another wave of Germanic invaders , the Visigoths , who conquered all of the Iberian Peninsula and expelled or partially integrated the Vandals and the Alans . The Visigoths eventually conquered the Suebi kingdom and its capital city , Bracara ( modern day Braga ) , in 584 -- 585 . They would also conquer the province of the Byzantine Empire ( 552 -- 624 ) of Spania in the south of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands . Islamic Caliphate ( edit ) Main articles : Al - Andalus , Islam in Spain , and Islam in Portugal Islamic rule : al - Andalus c. 1000 In 711 , a Muslim army invaded the Visigothic Kingdom in Hispania . Under Tariq ibn Ziyad , the Islamic army landed at Gibraltar and , in an eight - year campaign , occupied all except the northern kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula in the Umayyad conquest of Hispania . Al - Andalus ( Arabic : الإندلس , tr . al - ʾAndalūs , possibly `` Land of the Vandals '' ) , is the Arabic name given to what is today southern Spain by its Muslim Berber and Arab occupiers . From the 8th -- 15th centuries , only the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula was incorporated into the Islamic world and became a center of culture and learning , especially during the Caliphate of Córdoba , which reached its height under the rule of Abd - ar - Rahman III . The Muslims , who were initially Arabs and Berbers , included some local converts , the so - called Muladi . The Muslims were referred to by the generic name , Moors . The Reconquista gained momentum on c. 718 , when the Christian Asturians opposed the Moors , the southern march to push out the Muslims continued for three hundred years , so for another four hundred years , only the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula was transformed into a Romance - speaking and Arabic - speaking Muslim land , along with pockets of a large minority of Arabic - speaking Sephardi Jews . Reconquest ( edit ) Main article : Reconquista Many of the ousted Gothic nobles took refuge in the unconquered north Kingdom of Asturias . From there , they aimed to reconquer their lands from the Moors ; this war of reconquest is known as the Reconquista . Christian and Muslim kingdoms fought and allied among themselves . The Muslim taifa kings competed in patronage of the arts , the Camino de Santiago attracted pilgrims from all Western Europe , and the Jewish population set the basis of Sephardi culture . During the Middle Ages , the peninsula housed many small states including the Kingdom of Castile , Crown of Aragon , Kingdom of Navarre , Kingdom of León and the Kingdom of Portugal . The peninsula was part of the Almohad Caliphate until they were finally uprooted . The last major Muslim stronghold was Granada , which was conquered by a combined Castilian and Aragonese force in 1492 . Muslims and Jews throughout the period were variously tolerated or shown intolerance in different Christian kingdoms . However , after the fall of Granada , all Muslims and Jews were ordered to convert to Christianity or face expulsion . Many Jews and Muslims fled to North Africa and the Ottoman Empire , while others publicly converted to Christianity and became known respectively as Marranos and Moriscos . However , many of these continued to practice their religion in secret . The Moriscos revolted several times and were ultimately forcibly expelled from Spain in the early 17th century . Map of Spain and Portugal , Atlas historique , dated approximately 1705 -- 1739 , of H.A. Chatelain . Post-reconquest ( edit ) Main articles : History of Andorra , History of Gibraltar , History of Portugal , and History of Spain The small states gradually amalgamated over time , with the exception of Portugal , even if for a brief period ( 1580 -- 1640 ) the whole peninsula was united politically under the Iberian Union . After that point , the modern position was reached and the peninsula now consists of the countries of Spain and Portugal ( excluding their islands -- the Portuguese Azores and Madeira and the Spanish Canary Islands and Balearic Islands ; and the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla ) , Andorra , French Cerdagne and Gibraltar . An 18th - century map of the peninsula depicting various topographical features of the land , as published in Robert Wilkinson 's General Atlas , circa 1794 . Geography and geology ( edit ) Main articles : Geography of Portugal and Geography of Spain The Iberian Peninsula is the westernmost of the three major southern European peninsulas -- the Iberian , Italian , and Balkan . It is bordered on the southeast and east by the Mediterranean Sea , and on the north , west , and southwest by the Atlantic Ocean . The Pyrenees mountains are situated along the northeast edge of the peninsula , where it adjoins the rest of Europe . Its southern tip is very close to the northwest coast of Africa , separated from it by the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea . The Iberian Peninsula extends from the southernmost extremity at Punta de Tarifa ( 36 ° 00 ′ 15 '' N 5 ° 36 ′ 37 '' W / 36.00417 ° N 5.61028 ° W / 36.00417 ; - 5.61028 ) to the northernmost extremity at Punta de Estaca de Bares ( 43 ° 47 ′ 38 '' N 7 ° 41 ′ 17 '' W / 43.79389 ° N 7.68806 ° W / 43.79389 ; - 7.68806 ) over a distance between lines of latitude of about 865 km ( 537 mi ) based on a degree length of 111 km ( 69 mi ) per degree , and from the westernmost extremity at Cabo da Roca ( 38 ° 46 ′ 51 '' N 9 ° 29 ′ 54 '' W / 38.78083 ° N 9.49833 ° W / 38.78083 ; - 9.49833 ) to the easternmost extremity at Cap de Creus ( 42 ° 19 ′ 09 '' N 3 ° 19 ′ 19 '' E / 42.31917 ° N 3.32194 ° E / 42.31917 ; 3.32194 ) over a distance between lines of longitude at 40 ° N latitude of about 1,155 km ( 718 mi ) based on an estimated degree length of about 90 km ( 56 mi ) for that latitude . The irregular , roughly octagonal shape of the peninsula contained within this spherical quadrangle was compared to an ox - hide by the geographer Strabo . About three quarters of that rough octagon is the Meseta Central , a vast plateau ranging from 610 to 760 m in altitude . It is located approximately in the centre , staggered slightly to the east and tilted slightly toward the west ( the conventional centre of the Iberian Peninsula has long been considered Getafe just south of Madrid ) . It is ringed by mountains and contains the sources of most of the rivers , which find their way through gaps in the mountain barriers on all sides . Coastline ( edit ) The coastline of the Iberian Peninsula is 3,313 km ( 2,059 mi ) , 1,660 km ( 1,030 mi ) on the Mediterranean side and 1,653 km ( 1,027 mi ) on the Atlantic side . The coast has been inundated over time , with sea levels having risen from a minimum of 115 -- 120 m ( 377 -- 394 ft ) lower than today at the Last Glacial Maximum ( LGM ) to its current level at 4,000 years BP . The coastal shelf created by sedimentation during that time remains below the surface ; however , it was never very extensive on the Atlantic side , as the continental shelf drops rather steeply into the depths . An estimated 700 km ( 430 mi ) length of Atlantic shelf is only 10 -- 65 km ( 6.2 -- 40.4 mi ) wide . At the 500 m ( 1,600 ft ) isobath , on the edge , the shelf drops off to 1,000 m ( 3,300 ft ) . The submarine topography of the coastal waters of the Iberian Peninsula has been studied extensively in the process of drilling for oil . Ultimately , the shelf drops into the Bay of Biscay on the north ( an abyss ) , the Iberian abyssal plain at 4,800 m ( 15,700 ft ) on the west , and Tagus abyssal plain to the south . In the north , between the continental shelf and the abyss , is an extension called the Galicia Bank , a plateau that also contains the Porto , Vigo , and Vasco da Gama seamounts , which form the Galicia interior basin . The southern border of these features is marked by Nazaré Canyon , which splits the continental shelf and leads directly into the abyss .

The major rivers flow through the wide valleys between the mountain systems . These are the Ebro , Douro , Tagus , Guadiana and Guadalquivir . All rivers in the Iberian Peninsula are subject to seasonal variations in flow . The Tagus is the longest river on the peninsula and , like the Douro , flows westwards with its lower course in Portugal . The Guadiana river bends southwards and forms the border between Spain and Portugal in the last stretch of its course . Mountains ( edit ) Major Geologic Units of the Iberian Peninsula The terrain of the Iberian Peninsula is largely mountainous . The major mountain systems are : The Pyrenees and their foothills , the Pre-Pyrenees , crossing the isthmus of the peninsula so completely as to allow no passage except by mountain road , trail , coastal road or tunnel . Aneto in the Maladeta massif , at 3,404 m , is the highest point The Cantabrian Mountains along the northern coast with the massive Picos de Europa . Torre de Cerredo , at 2,648 m , is the highest point The Galicia / Trás - os - Montes Massif in the Northwest is made up of very old heavily eroded rocks . Pena Trevinca , at 2,127 m , is the highest point The Sistema Ibérico , a complex system at the heart of the Peninsula , in its central / eastern region . It contains a great number of ranges and divides the watershed of the Tagus , Douro and Ebro rivers . Moncayo , at 2,313 m , is the highest point The Sistema Central , dividing the Iberian Plateau into a northern and a southern half and stretching into Portugal ( where the highest point of Continental Portugal ( 1,993 m ) is located in the Serra da Estrela ) . Pico Almanzor in the Sierra de Gredos is the highest point , at 2,592 m The Montes de Toledo , which also stretches into Portugal from the La Mancha natural region at the eastern end . Its highest point , at 1,603 m , is La Villuerca in the Sierra de Villuercas , Extremadura The Sierra Morena , which divides the watershed of the Guadiana and Guadalquivir rivers . At 1,332 m , Bañuela is the highest point The Baetic System , which stretches between Cádiz and Gibraltar and northeast towards Alicante Province . It is divided into three subsystems : Prebaetic System , which begins west of the Sierra Sur de Jaén , reaching the Mediterranean Sea shores in Alicante Province . La Sagra is the highest point at 2,382 m . Subbaetic System , which is in a central position within the Baetic Systems , stretching from Cape Trafalgar in Cádiz Province across Andalusia to the Region of Murcia . The highest point , at 2,027 m ( 6,650 ft ) , is Peña de la Cruz in Sierra Arana . Penibaetic System , located in the far southeastern area stretching between Gibraltar across the Mediterranean coastal Andalusian provinces . It includes the highest point in the peninsula , the 3,478 m high Mulhacén in the Sierra Nevada . Geology ( edit ) Main article : Geology of the Iberian Peninsula The Iberian Peninsula contains rocks of every geological period from the Ediacaran to the Recent , and almost every kind of rock is represented . World - class mineral deposits can also be found there . The core of the Iberian Peninsula consists of a Hercynian cratonic block known as the Iberian Massif . On the northeast , this is bounded by the Pyrenean fold belt , and on the southeast it is bounded by the Baetic System . These twofold chains are part of the Alpine belt . To the west , the peninsula is delimited by the continental boundary formed by the magma - poor opening of the Atlantic Ocean . The Hercynian Foldbelt is mostly buried by Mesozoic and Tertiary cover rocks to the east , but nevertheless outcrops through the Sistema Ibérico and the Catalan Mediterranean System . Climate ( edit ) Main articles : Climate of Portugal and Climate of Spain The Iberian peninsula has two dominant climate types . One of these is the oceanic climate seen in the Atlantic coastal region resulting in evenly temperatures with relatively cool summers . However , most of Portugal and Spain have a mediterranean climate with various precipitation and temperatures depending on latitude and position versus the sea . There are also more localized semi-arid climates in central Spain , with temperatures resembling a more continental mediterranean climate . In other extreme cases highland alpine climates such as in Sierra Nevada and areas with extremely low precitipation and desert climates nor semi-arid climates such as the Almería area , Murcia area and southern Alicante area . In the Spanish interior the hottest temperatures in Europe are found , with Córdoba averaging around 37 ° C ( 99 ° F ) in July . The Spanish mediterranean coast usually averages around 30 ° C ( 86 ° F ) in summer . In sharp contrast A Coruña at the northern tip of Galicia has a summer daytime high average at just below 23 ° C ( 73 ° F ) . This cool and wet summer climate is replicated throughout most of the northern coastline . Winter temperatures are more consistent throughout the peninsula , although frosts are common in the Spanish interior , even though daytime highs are usually above the freezing point . In Portugal , the warmest winters of the country are found in the area of Algarve , very similar to the ones from Huelva in Spain , while most of the Portuguese Atlantic coast has fresh and humid winters , similar to Galicia .

Ecology ( edit ) Forests ( edit ) Main article : Forests of the Iberian Peninsula The woodlands of the Iberian Peninsula are distinct ecosystems . Although the various regions are each characterized by distinct vegetation , there are some similarities across the peninsula . While the borders between these regions are not clearly defined , there is a mutual influence that makes it very hard to establish boundaries and some species find their optimal habitat in the intermediate areas . East Atlantic flyway ( edit ) The Iberian Peninsula in an important stopover on the East Atlantic flyway for birds migrating from northern Europe to Africa . For example , curlew sandpipers rest in the region of the Bay of Cádiz . In addition to the birds migrating through , some seven million wading birds from the north spend the winter in the estuaries and wetlands of the Iberian Peninsula , mainly at locations on the Atlantic coast . In Galicia are Ría de Arousa ( a home of grey plover ) , Ria de Ortigueira , Ria de Corme and Ria de Laxe . In Portugal , the Aveiro Lagoon hosts Recurvirostra avosetta , the common ringed plover , grey plover and little stint . Ribatejo Province on the Tagus supports Recurvirostra arosetta , grey plover , dunlin , bar - tailed godwit and common redshank . In the Sado Estuary are dunlin , Eurasian curlew , grey plover and common redshank . The Algarve hosts red knot , common greenshank and turnstone . The Guadalquivir Marshes region of Andalusia and the Salinas de Cádiz are especially rich in wintering wading birds : Kentish plover , common ringed plover , sanderling , and black - tailed godwit in addition to the others . And finally , the Ebro delta is home to all the species mentioned above . Languages ( edit ) Main article : Languages of Iberia Further information : Languages of Andorra , Languages of Gibraltar , Languages of Spain , and Languages of Portugal With the sole exception of Basque , which is of unknown origin , all modern Iberian languages descend from Vulgar Latin and belong to the Western Romance languages . Throughout history ( and pre-history ) , many different languages have been spoken in the Iberian Peninsula , contributing to the formation and differentiation of the contemporaneous languages of Iberia ; however , most of them have become extinct or fallen into disuse . Basque is the only non-Indo - European surviving language in Iberia and Western Europe . In modern times , Spanish ( cf. 30 to 40 million speakers ) , Portuguese ( cf . around 10 million speakers ) , Catalan ( cf . around 9 million speakers ) , Galician ( cf . around 3 million speakers ) and Basque ( cf . around 1 million speakers ) are the most widely spoken languages in the Iberian Peninsula . Spanish and Portuguese have expanded beyond Iberia to the rest of world , becoming global languages . Economy ( edit ) Major industries include mining , tourism , small farms , and fishing . Because the coast is so long , fishing is popular , especially sardines , tuna , cod and anchovies . Most of the mining happens in the Pyrenees mountains ; iron , gold , coal , valuable minerals -- such as lead , silver , zinc , and salt -- are all mined .

"The Iberian Peninsula /aɪˈbɪəriən pəˈnɪnsjʊlə/,[a] also known as Iberia /aɪˈbɪəriə/,[b] is located in the southwest corner of Europe. The peninsula is principally divided between Portugal and Spain, comprising most of their territory. It also includes Andorra, the disputed Catalan Republic, and a small part of France along the peninsula's northeastern edge, as well as Gibraltar on its south coast, a small peninsula that forms an overseas territory of the United Kingdom. With an area of approximately 582,000 km2 (225,000 sq mi), it is the second largest European peninsula, after the Scandinavian."

The series focuses on a boy named Ryder who leads a pack of search and rescue dogs known as the PAW Patrol . They work together on missions to protect the shoreside community of Adventure Bay . Each dog has a specific set of skills based on a real - life profession , such as a firefighter and a police officer . They all reside in doghouses that can transform into customized vehicles when necessary . They are also equipped with backpacks called `` pup packs '' that contain tools that relate to the pups ' jobs . Spin Master has developed the show into a media franchise and released an ongoing line of toys based on it . PAW Patrol toy sales have generated millions of dollars in revenue for the corporation and increased Spin Master 's presence in the preschool toy market .

Episodes normally open with a scene depicting the dogs going about their everyday lives , often playing with dog toys or engaging in activities at the local playground . Ryder , a ten - year - old boy , is advised of a problem by receiving a call for help or by witnessing a situation himself . His most frequent caller is an accident - prone marine biologist named Cap'n Turbot , who knows much about Adventure Bay 's wildlife . Ryder always alerts the dogs via their blinking pet tags . The team members report to their base , the Lookout , and enter its elevator . Marshall typically arrives last causing a humorous mishap that makes the other dogs laugh as the elevator rises . When they reach the top floor , they arrange themselves in a line . Chase announces that the team is ready for action as Ryder tells the pups what has happened . He chooses several members of the team , normally two first responders , to help solve whatever problem has emerged . They ride a slide down to their vehicles and complete their mission . When they have finished , Ryder says his catchphrase : `` Whenever you 're in trouble , just yelp for help ! '' , and congratulates the pups .

Production ( edit ) According to Spin Master , the concept for PAW Patrol stemmed from a prototype for a transforming truck toy that Spin Master co-founder Ronnen Harary designed in 2010 . Later the same year , the company requested proposals for a television show based on the transforming toy , and accepted one from Bob the Builder creator Keith Chapman . Chapman sketched early designs of the PAW Patrol team under the working title Raffi & the Rescue Dogs . Spin Master hired toy designers to develop the format further ; after the concept was in place , they began designing merchandise . Chapman 's original pitch focused on the idea that the six PAW Patrol dogs were rescued by Ryder before joining the team . Scott Kraft , the show 's first writer , and Jamie Whitney , the show 's first director , decided to abandon the rescued dog theme in 2012 . The name of the series ' protagonist , Ryder , was changed multiple times during production ; he was originally called Raffi , Roddy , and Robbie before Spin Master settled on Ryder . Early models of the PAW Patrol pups According to a 2017 Spin Master interview , `` everything pup - related was debated endlessly : names , sizes , ages , breeds . '' The pups ' designs underwent major changes after Chapman 's pitch ; they were originally very realistic , with unique fur and textures based on their breeds , but they were later simplified and made more cartoonish . The visual appearance of Cap'n Turbot , mainly his distinctive bead eyes and large nose , was based on the design of Chapman 's Bob the Builder character . Ryder 's hairstyle was based on that of Ronnen Harary . In January 2012 , Spin Master began approaching television broadcasters . The company negotiated a broadcast partnership with Nickelodeon , and the network first announced that it had picked up PAW Patrol at the 2013 Licensing Expo in Las Vegas , Nevada . The series became Spin Master 's first solely - owned intellectual property ( IP ) once it was released in August 2013 . Since it began production , the show 's animation has been provided by Guru Studio . In a 2016 interview with Maclean 's Magazine , Guru president Frank Falcone stated that his studio 's animators were originally suspicious of the show 's `` toyetic '' concept . The series ' rock - inspired original score was composed by the Ontario - based group Voodoo Highway Music & Post . The opening theme song , and the ending song used in each episode include vocals performed by Scott Simons . With each season of the show , new supporting characters and themes are introduced in its episodes . In a May 2016 interview for the Toronto Star , Spin Master president Ben Gadbois stated that his company would continue to introduce additional characters and concepts to increase the franchise 's longevity and to expand upon the success of tie - in merchandise . In August of the same year , Ronnen Harary explained that these changes were intended to keep the show 's content `` fresh '' and `` relevant '' . The first season aired from August 2013 to August 2014 . The second season premiered in August 2014 ; in Canada , it concluded in September 2015 and in the United States , it concluded in December 2015 . A third season premiered in November 2015 . A fourth season premiered February 6 , 2017 . Spin Master has confirmed that fifth and sixth seasons are in development . The fifth season premiered on February 6 , 2018 . Release ( edit ) Broadcast ( edit ) The series has been sold to TV networks in over 160 countries . In Canada , the series is shown on TVOKids , Knowledge Kids , Télé - Québec and City Kids . In the United States , the series is aired on Nickelodeon with reruns on Nick Jr . As required for Canadian programs aired on federally - funded networks , PAW Patrol has been dubbed in French for Quebec broadcasts and for its broadcast in France on TF1 . Canal Panda airs a European Portuguese dub . A British English dub , which uses the same scripts as the Canadian version with minor changes , is shown on Channel 5 and Nick Jr . UK . Anione , JEI TV , and KBS have all broadcast the Korean - dubbed version . The show has been aired in the Icelandic language on Iceland 's public broadcaster RÚV since 2015 . The first two seasons were shown in Finnish on Yle TV2 . The video on demand platform Le.com obtained broadcast rights for a Mandarin Chinese - dubbed version of PAW Patrol in April 2016 . In July 2016 , film distribution company Notorious Pictures acquired the rights to an Italian theatrical release of the series . Six episodes of PAW Patrol were screened as a package film in select Italian cinemas from December 22 , 2016 until January 8 of the following year . Sabahat Khan , of Spin Master partner RBC Capital Markets , has stated that he `` would n't be surprised by a ( North American ) feature film down the line . '' In November 2017 , Ronnen Harary confirmed that Spin Master is `` currently considering whether to extend the PAW Patrol franchise into feature films at some point in the next 12 to 24 months .

Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman cited the series as a source of Nickelodeon 's 2014 ratings growth . It ranked as the highest - rated , preschool TV program in the United States in November 2013 and held that position throughout the spring 2014 season . The spot was briefly overtaken by Team Umizoomi reruns in July 2016 , but PAW Patrol reclaimed the title later the same month . Bloomberg L.P. described PAW Patrol as part of a `` creative resurgence '' that increased the Nick Jr. channel 's viewership in 2016 . At Nickelodeon 's 2016 upfront presentation for future advertisers , Cyma Zarghami named PAW Patrol one of two preschool shows to have significantly helped boost ratings for the network ( the other being Blaze and the Monster Machines ) . In March 2015 , two back - to - back premieres of the show ranked among the top twenty weekday showings ( among total viewers ) in Australia . In May 2015 , it was reported that PAW Patrol broadcasts on TF1 had been viewed by 45 per cent of households in France with preschool - aged children . Critical reception ( edit ) Common Sense Media reviewer Emily Ashby gave the show a four - star rating , stating that `` perhaps the show 's best attribute is how it demonstrates the value of thoughtful problem - solving '' . Randy Miller of DVD Talk recommended the show , calling it `` packed with all the harmless action and cornball jokes that kids ... ca n't help but snicker at '' . Stuff.co.nz reviewer Pattie Pegler also wrote favourably of the series , but felt that some of the characters `` seem rather arbitrary , like Rocky the Recycling Pup '' . The About Group 's Carey Bryson gave the series a mixed review , criticizing its `` formulaic '' nature but affirming that the `` show is not without funny moments '' . A research study , commissioned by Sky in March 2016 , reported that 16 per cent of surveyed British and Irish children named PAW Patrol as their favourite program . Criticism has been directed toward the show 's unequal gender representation because the team of dogs is primarily male and includes only one main female . Cat Conway of Dan Abrams ' The Mary Sue rhetorically asked , `` the police pup , firefighting pup , builder pup , sea - rescue pup , and whatever the hell Rocky does are all coded male , because of course you could n't have a female police dog , could you ? '' Brandy King of the Center on Media and Child Health `` found the gender imbalance immediately noticeable '' while watching the program . Today 's Parent noted in April 2015 that PAW Patrol images appeared frequently on Twitter with the hashtag `` # IncludeTheGirls '' . Accolades ( edit ) In 2014 , the series ' theme song was nominated for Outstanding Original Song -- Main Title and Promo in the 41st Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards . In 2016 , the season two episode `` Pups Save a Mer - Pup '' was nominated for Best Animated Television / Broadcast Production for Preschool Children in the 43rd Annie Awards . As of 2017 , PAW Patrol has received four Canadian Screen Award nominations , winning one of them in 2016 and two in 2017 .

The line was not distributed to international markets until June 22 of the same year . Dion Vlachos , a representative from Nickelodeon , was in charge of the U.S. product launch . PAW Patrol has since become one of Spin Master 's most profitable brands . Analysts for the National Bank of Canada reported that toys and games based on the show accounted for approximately $245 million U.S. ( or 25 per cent ) of Spin Master 's gross product sales for 2015 . Spin Master chairman Anton Rabie noted in August 2016 that the `` continuing strength '' of PAW Patrol toys , in addition to new acquisitions and movie licenses , made up 40.5 per cent of the firm 's second quarter revenue . Marketing manager Emma Eden said that the toys were responsible for increasing the company 's presence in the preschool market . Throughout 2016 , Spin Master 's revenue grew more in this market than in any other toy category . PAW Patrol has been cited as the sole reason for this . The NPD Group named PAW Patrol the top new toy brand of 2015 in the United Kingdom . The group also reported that it was the best - selling preschool license in France in the first quarter of 2015 . Dave Brandon , the chief executive officer of Toys `` R '' Us , listed the PAW Patroller vehicle toy as one of the 2015 holiday season 's `` hottest '' items . Argos the U.K. catalogue retailer included the PAW Patrol Air Patroller vehicle on its list of the toys it predicts will be bestsellers during the Christmas 2016 season . Live events ( edit ) In April 2016 , a stage show titled PAW Patrol Live : Race to the Rescue was announced . The show features the PAW Patrol characters competing in a race . It toured Canada , the United States , Mexico , Australia and the Philippines . A sequel show , titled PAW Patrol Live : The Great Pirate Adventure , was announced in June 2017 . It follows the PAW Patrol as they rescue Cap'n Turbot from a cavern , and it will tour the same countries as its predecessor . The shows are produced by VStar Entertainment Group , which is best known for producing the popular Sesame Street Live touring shows for 37 years . Mascots based on the PAW Patrol characters have appeared at events across Canada , the United States , and the United Kingdom . They joined an `` Etch A Sketch Day '' celebration at Spin Master 's office in Toronto on July 26 , 2016 . The characters , along with replicas of the Lookout tower from the program , were included as part of the Nick Jr . Play Date Tour in autumn 2015 . Marshall and Chase made appearances at shopping malls throughout Nottingham , Suffolk , and Somerset in the U.K. in the summer of 2016 . Multiple meet - and - greet events attracted far more attendees than expected , with some reaching over 5,000 visitors . They appeared for the first time in Northern Ireland at Glenarm Castle on July 13 , 2016 . They are scheduled to appear regularly in a Nickelodeon - themed area of the Thurrock 's Lakeside Shopping Centre located on the outskirts of London , England . Unauthorized productions and events featuring the show 's characters have attracted the attention of the show 's distributor . In February 2016 , several Greene King pubs in the U.K. scheduled breakfast events with costumed characters modelled after the pups . Nickelodeon forced the chain to stop every event by threatening a lawsuit if they went ahead . There was some consumer backlash as a result , but the events were not held .

798368215798016170 | In the Heat of the Night (film) | In the Heat of the Night ( film ) - wikipedia In the Heat of the Night ( film ) In the Heat of the Night Theatrical release poster Directed by Norman Jewison Produced by Walter Mirisch Screenplay by Stirling Silliphant Based on a novel by John Ball Starring Sidney Poitier Rod Steiger Music by Quincy Jones Cinematography Haskell Wexler , A.S.C. Edited by Hal Ashby Production company The Mirisch Corporation Distributed by United Artists Release date August 2 , 1967 ( 1967 - 08 - 02 ) Running time 109 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $2 million Box office $24.3 million In the Heat of the Night is a 1967 American mystery drama film directed by Norman Jewison . It is based on John Ball 's 1965 novel of the same name and tells the story of Virgil Tibbs , a black police detective from Philadelphia , who becomes involved in a murder investigation in a small town in Mississippi . It stars Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger , and was produced by Walter Mirisch . The screenplay was by Stirling Silliphant . The film won five Academy Awards , including the 1967 awards for Best Picture and Rod Steiger for Best Actor . The film was followed by two sequels , They Call Me Mister Tibbs ! in 1970 , and The Organization in 1971 . In 1988 , it also became the basis of a television series adaptation of the same name . Although the film was set in the fictional Mississippi town of Sparta ( with supposedly no connection to the real Sparta , Mississippi ) , most of the movie was filmed in Sparta , Illinois , where many of the film 's landmarks can still be seen . The quote `` They call me Mister Tibbs ! '' was listed as number 16 on the American Film Institute 's 100 Years ... 100 Movie Quotes , a list of top film quotes . In 2002 , the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' .

One night , police officer Sam Wood discovers that Colbert has been murdered . Chief Gillespie leads the investigation . A doctor estimates that Colbert had been dead for a few hours . Wood finds a black man named Virgil Tibbs at the train station and arrests him . Gillespie quickly assumes that Tibbs is the culprit and tries to get Tibbs to make a confession . However , he is embarrassed to learn that Tibbs is a top homicide detective from Philadelphia . Gillespie phones Tibbs ' chief , who confirms this and recommends that Tibbs should assist them . This idea does not appeal to Gillespie or Tibbs , but they reluctantly agree . Gillespie arrests another suspect , but Tibbs clears him . The victim 's widow is frustrated by the ineptitude of the local police and impressed by Tibbs . She threatens to stop the construction of the factory unless Tibbs leads the investigation . Despite the rocky start , the two policemen begin to respect each other as they are forced to work together . Tibbs initially suspects plantation owner Endicott , a racist who publicly opposes the new factory . When Tibbs attempts to interrogate Endicott , Endicott slaps him in the face and Tibbs slaps him back . Endicott sends a gang of hooligans after Tibbs . Gillespie rescues him from the fight and tells him to leave town for his safety , but Tibbs is convinced he can solve the case . He examines Colbert 's body and suggests the murder happened earlier than initially thought . He examines Colbert 's car and deduces that Colbert was murdered elsewhere and the culprit moved the body . Tibbs asks Wood to retrace his car patrol route on the night of the murder , and Gillespie joins them . When Tibbs notices that Wood has changed his route , Gillespie starts suspecting Wood , though Tibbs hints there is another reason . Gillespie discovers that Wood made a sizable deposit into his bank account the day after the murder while Purdy , a local , files charges against Wood for getting his 16 - year - old sister Delores pregnant . Gillespie arrests Wood , despite Tibbs ' protests , and Delores is interrogated . Purdy is offended that a black man was present at the interrogation , and he gathers a mob to get revenge . Tibbs reveals that the murder was committed at the site of the planned factory and clears Wood . He also admits that he knew why Wood had changed his route : Delores is an exhibitionist and Wood has been spying on her . Tibbs visits a backstreet abortionist , who reveals that someone paid for Delores to have an abortion . When Delores arrives , Tibbs follows her outside and is confronted by the murderer , Ralph . Purdy 's mob tracks down Tibbs and holds him at gunpoint ; he responds by proving that Ralph got Delores pregnant . Ralph shoots Purdy dead before Tibbs disarms him . Ralph is arrested ( presumptively for both murders ) and confesses to Colbert 's : he robbed Colbert to fund Delores 's abortion but accidentally killed him . The final scene shows Tibbs boarding a train bound for Philadelphia , as Gillespie respectfully bids him farewell .

However , despite their reservations , Jewison decided to film part of the film in Dyersburg ( Endicott 's house ) and Union City , Tennessee , anyway while the rest was filmed in Sparta , Chester ( Harvey Oberst chase scene ) , and Freeburg ( Compton 's diner ) , Illinois . The famous scene of Tibbs slapping Endicott is not present in the novel . According to Poitier , the scene was almost not in the movie . In the textbook `` Civil Rights and Race Relations in the USA 1850 - 2009 ( Access to History ) , '' Poitier states : `` I said , ' I 'll tell you what , I 'll make this movie for you if you give me your absolute guarantee when he slaps me I slap him right back and you guarantee that it will play in every version of this movie . ' I try not to do things that are against nature . '' However , Poitier 's version of the story is contradicted by Mark Harris in his book , Pictures at a Revolution . Harris states that copies of the original draft of the screenplay that he obtained clearly contain the scene as filmed , which is backed up by Jewison and Silliphant . The film is also important for being the first major Hollywood film in color that was lit with proper consideration for a black person . Haskell Wexler recognized that standard strong lighting used in filming tended to produce too much glare on dark complexions and rendered the features indistinct . Accordingly , Wexler toned it down to feature Poitier with better photographic results . Reception ( edit ) In contrast to films like The Chase and Hurry Sundown , which offered confused visions of the South , In the Heat of the Night offered a tough , edgy vision of a Southern town that seemed to hate outsiders more than itself , a theme reflecting the uncertain mood of the time as the Civil Rights Movement attempted to take hold . Canadian director Jewison wanted to tell an anti-racist story of a white man and a black man working together in spite of difficulties . Jewison said that this film proved a conviction he had held for a long time : `` It 's you against the world . It 's like going to war . Everybody is trying to tell you something different and they are always putting obstacles in your way . '' In one famous scene , Gillespie mocks the name ' Virgil ' by saying `` That 's a funny name for a nigger boy that comes from Philadelphia ! What do they call you up there ? '' An irritated Tibbs replies : `` They call me Mr. Tibbs ! '' The line was later listed as number 16 on the American Film Institute 's 100 Years ... 100 Movie Quotes , a list of top film quotes , and was also the title of the sequel . An iconic scene that surprised and perhaps shocked audiences at the time occurs when Tibbs is slapped by Endicott . Tibbs responds by slapping him back . In a San Francisco pre-screening , Jewison was concerned when the young audience was laughing at the film as if it were a comedy . The audience 's stunned reaction to the slapping scene convinced Jewison that the film was effective as drama . That scene helped make the film so popular for audiences , finally seeing the top black film actor physically strike back against bigotry , that the film earned the nickname , Super-spade Versus the Rednecks . During the film 's initial run , Steiger and Poitier occasionally went to the Capitol Theatre in New York to amuse themselves seeing how many black and white audience members there were , which could be immediately ascertained by listening to the former cheering Tibbs 's retaliatory slap and the latter whispering `` Oh ! '' in astonishment . Critical response ( edit ) Then - freshman critic Roger Ebert in 1967 gave In the Heat of the Night a positive review and placed it at number ten on his top ten list of 1967 films . AD Murphy of Variety magazine felt it was a good but uneven film . With the release of the film in the United States in August , Poitier was starring in two movies simultaneously at the box office , as To Sir , with Love had been released the previous June . The film , as of July 2017 , holds a 96 % `` Certified Fresh '' rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes , out of 44 reviews collected with an average rating of 8.2 out of 10 . It 's consensus states , `` Tense , funny , and thought - provoking all at once , and lifted by strong performances from Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger .

Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic Allmusic 's Steven McDonald said the soundtrack had `` a tone of righteous fury woven throughout '' and that `` the intent behind In the Heat of the Night was to get a Southern , blues - inflected atmosphere to support the angry , anti-racist approach of the picture ... although the cues from In the Heat of the Night show their age '' . The Vinyl Factory said `` this soundtrack to a film about racism in the South has a cool , decidedly Southern - fried sound with funk - bottomed bluesy touches , like on the strutting ' Cotton Curtain ' , the down ' n ' dirty ' Whipping Boy ' or the fat ' n ' sassy ' Chief 's Drive to Mayor ' '' .

Scheuer 's Movies on TV ( 1972 -- 73 edition ) gives In the Heat of the Night its highest rating of 4 stars , recommending it as an `` ( E ) xciting , superbly acted and directed film about prejudice , manners and morals in a small Mississippi town '' , with the concluding sentences stating , `` ( D ) irector Norman Jewison does an outstanding job in creating the subsurface tension of life in a ' sleepy ' Southern town , and the supporting performances are uniformly fine . A first - rate film in all respects . '' Leonard Maltin 's TV Movies & Video Guide ( 1989 edition ) follows Scheuer 's example with its own highest rating of 4 stars , concluding that `` ( M ) arvelous social thriller has n't dated one bit -- tough , funny , and atmospheric , with unbeatable acting and splendid Quincy Jones score . Five Oscars include Best Picture ... '' Mick Martin 's & Marsha Porter 's DVD & Video Guide ( 2007 edition ) also puts its rating high , at 4 stars ( out of 5 ) , finding it `` ( A ) rousing murder mystery elevated by the excellent acting of Rod Steiger and Sidney Poitier . '' British references likewise show high regard for the film , with David Shipman in his 1984 The Good Film and Video Guide giving 3 ( out of 4 ) stars , noting that `` ( A ) s mystery or detective story this film is only fair but it has enormous tension . Within its given framework , it is good on the colour question . There is tension in the eyes of the black ( Sidney Poitier ) , who happens to be a homicide officer , and malevolence in those of the local police chief ( Rod Steiger ) . These are two remarkable performances , well supported by Warren Oates , Lee Grant and Larry Gates . '' Another British film critic with a highly personal Film Guide , Leslie Halliwell , gave 2 stars ( out of 4 ) describing it in the 5th edition ( 1985 ) as an `` ( O ) verrated policier in which the personality clash is amusing ( and was timely ) but the murder puzzle is a complete throwaway . '' The Guide continued to be published after Halliwell 's death in 1989 and , in the 21st edition , Halliwell 's Film Video & DVD Guide 2007 , John Walker , who took over as the Guide 's author , raised the rating to the highest level of 4 stars and rewrote the evaluation to state that it is `` ( A ) tense and exciting thriller that also explores racism through the explosive clash of two contrasting personalities .

5885305784175437138 | Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree | Rockefeller Center Christmas tree - wikipedia Rockefeller Center Christmas tree Jump to : navigation , search Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree photographed in December 1987 , a 78 foot ( 24 m ) high Norway Spruce decorated with 18,000 lights . The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a large Christmas tree placed annually in Rockefeller Center , in Midtown Manhattan . The tree is erected in mid November and lit in a public ceremony in late November or early December . Since 1997 , the lighting has been broadcast live , to hundreds of millions , on NBC 's Christmas in Rockefeller Center telecast on a Wednesday after Thanksgiving . The tree lighting ceremony is aired at the end of every broadcast , following live entertainment and the tree is lit by the current Mayor of New York City and special guests . An estimated 125 million people visit the attraction each year . The tree , usually a Norway spruce 69 to 100 feet ( 21 to 30 m ) tall , has been a national tradition each year since 1933 . The 2016 Christmas Tree Lighting took place on November 30 , 2016 ; the tree remained on display until January 7 , 2017 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Selection and decoration 2 History 3 Broadcasting 4 Yearly tree details 5 See also 6 References 7 Bibliography 8 Further reading 9 External links Selection and decoration ( edit ) Trees are traditionally donated to Rockefeller Center , which in turn donates the lumber after display . Until his death in 2009 , the late David Murbach , Manager of the Gardens Division of Rockefeller Center , scouted for the desired tree in upstate New York and surrounding states , and even Ottawa , Canada . The trees are now scouted by Erik Pauzé , Head Gardener at Rockefeller Center . Pauzé visits nurseries throughout the tri-state area while keeping his eye out for one - of - a-kind backyard trees . Trees may also be submitted for consideration through Rockefeller Center 's web site . Pauzé and his team choose each year 's tree based on its heartiness and `` Christmas tree shape , '' as well as its ability to support the heavy ornaments . Once a tree is selected , a crane supports the tree while it is cut , then moved to a custom telescoping trailer able to transport trees up to 125 feet ( 38 m ) tall , although the width of city streets around Rockefeller Center limits the height of the tree to 100 feet ( 30 m ) . Local business Christmas Tree Brooklyn provides support in delivering the tree safely into the city . On its way to Manhattan , the tree is often dressed in giant red bows or banners extending holiday greetings to witnesses . Trucks , barges , and even a transport plane have all been used to help the tree make the trip . Once at Rockefeller Center , the tree is supported by four guy - wires attached at its midpoint and by a steel spike at its base . Scaffolding is erected around the tree to assist workers in hanging about 50,000 multi-colored LED lights and the star top . The crystal star that has topped the tree since 2004 is 9.5 feet ( 2.9 m ) in diameter and weighs 550 pounds ( 250 kg ) . This `` Swarovski Star , '' containing 25,000 Swarovski crystals , 1 million facets , and LED lights , was created by German artist Michael Hammers . History ( edit ) The first tree at Rockefeller Center , erected by construction workers in 1931 shortly after the site was cleared . Above , the workers line up for pay beside the tree , adorned with garlands made by workers ' families . Although the official Christmas tree tradition at Rockefeller Center began in 1933 ( the year 30 Rockefeller Plaza opened ) , an unofficial tradition began during the Depression - era construction of the Center , when workers decorated a smaller 20 foot ( 6.1 m ) balsam fir with `` strings of cranberries , garlands of paper , and even a few tin cans '' on Christmas Eve ( December 24 , 1931 ) , as recounted by Daniel Okrent in his history of Rockefeller Center . According to Rockefeller Center , workers pooled their money for that unlit tree , with the garlands made by workers ' families . With the lighting of the first official tree , a 50 footer ( 15 m ) , two years later , the tree became what Rockefeller Center dubbed `` a holiday beacon for New Yorkers and visitors alike . '' A skating rink was opened below the tree in the plaza in 1936 . Rockefeller Center has observed the tree to be `` from the beginning ... a gathering place and reflection of what was happening in the world around it . '' World War II ushered in simple , patriotic decorations , including red , white and blue unlit globes and painted wooden stars . In 1942 , instead of one large tree , three more modest trees were raised , each decorated in one of the flag 's colors . From 1944 until the war 's end in 1945 , the tree went unlit due to blackout regulations . After the war , the year of darkness was left behind , as six ultraviolet light projectors were employed to make it appear as though the tree 's 700 fluorescent globes were glowing in the dark . By the 1950s , workers began using scaffolding to decorate the tree , as larger trees were accommodated . Before the decade was over , the decorating process called for 20 workers and nine days . 1951 marked the first time that NBC televised the tree lighting with a special on `` The Kate Smith Show . '' In 1969 , artist Valerie Clarebout 's towering wire herald angels were added to the Channel Gardens in front of the tree near Fifth Avenue . Clarebout created the 12 sculptures using 75 points of metal wire each . The 1971 tree , a 65 - footer from East Montpelier , Vt. , was the first to be mulched and recycled . It was turned into 30 three - bushel bags of mulch for the nature trails of upper Manhattan . Though the tree typically makes its journey on a truck bed , in 1998 it was flown in from Richfield , Ohio on the world 's largest transport plane . The 2016 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree , a 94 foot ( 29 m ) high Norway Spruce from Oneonta , N.Y. , with 50,000 lights . Photographed December 2 , 2016 by Michael Vadon . 1999 saw Rockefeller Center 's tallest tree , a 100 foot ( 30 m ) spruce from Killingworth , Conn . In 2001 , following the events of September 11 , the tree was again decorated in hues of red , white and blue . In 2007 , the tree went `` green '' , converting to energy - efficient lighting with LEDs . The LEDs use 1,200 fewer kilowatts of electricity per day , enough to power a 2,000 - square - foot home for a month . Also since 2007 , each year after display , the tree has been milled into lumber and donated to Habitat for Humanity for use in house construction . The 2016 tree , a Norway Spruce from Oneonta , N.Y. , is at 94 feet high the second tallest ever erected at Rockefeller Center . At 56 feet wide and over 30,000 pounds , the tree is the widest and heaviest to date , according to construction crews . Since 2011 , the tree lighting ceremony has been followed by the singing of Joy to the World . The decorated tree remains on display at Rockefeller Plaza , between West 48th and 51st Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues , at least through January 6 of the new year . More than a half million people pass by the tree each day while it is on display , according to Rockefeller Center . Broadcasting ( edit ) Since 1997 , the lighting ceremony has been broadcast live on NBC from 8 : 00 PM Eastern Standard Time to 9 : 00 PM Eastern Standard Time . The ceremony is hosted by Today Show anchors Matt Lauer , Al Roker , and Savannah Guthrie .

The Government of India conceived the ceremony to honour films made across India , on a national scale , to encourage the furthering of Indian art and culture . Since 1973 , the Indian Directorate of Film Festivals administers the ceremony along with other major film events in India annually . It is the highest award given for films in India . Juries and rules ( edit ) The National Film Awards are presented in two main categories : Feature Films and Non-Feature Films . The juries are appointed by the Directorate of Film Festivals in India . Neither the Government nor the Directorate have influence over which films are selected for consideration and which films ultimately win awards . There are strict criteria as to whether a film is eligible for consideration by the jury panels . Over 100 films made across the country are entered in each category ( Feature and Non-Feature ) for the awards and deemed eligible each year . A list of rules is presented every year in a document of regulations known as the National Film Award Regulations . The criteria for eligibility contains many clauses . Among them , there is a direct requirement for the makers of a film , and particularly the director , to be Indian nationals . Films entering the competition should be produced in India , and in case of co-production involving a foreign entity , there are as many as six conditions which should be fulfilled in order for the film to qualify . According to the criteria , in order to be eligible for consideration of the jury , a film should be certified by the Central Board of Film Certification between 1 January and 31 December . Whether a film is considered a feature film or a non-feature film shall be decided by the Feature Film jury . The eligibility list includes a section of rules determining which films shall not be eligible for entry in the competition . Awards ( edit ) The Awards are categorised in three sections ; Feature Films , Non-Feature Films and Best Writing on Cinema . With each section having its individual aims , Feature Film and Non-Feature Film sections aim at encouraging the production of films of aesthetic and technical excellence and social relevance , contributing to the understanding and appreciation of cultures of different regions of the country in cinematic form , thereby promoting unity and integrity of the nation . The Best Writing on Cinema section aims to encourage the study and appreciation of cinema as an art form and dissemination of information and critical appreciation of the art form through publication of various books , articles , reviews , newspaper coverage and studies . In addition , a lifetime achievement award , named after the father of Indian cinema Dadasaheb Phalke , is awarded to a film personality for the outstanding contribution to the growth and development of Indian Cinema . All the award winners are awarded with a Medallion , cash prize and a certificate of merit . Six categories from Feature Films section , two from Non-Feature Films and Best Writing on Cinema sections each have been made eligible for Swarna Kamal ( Golden Lotus Award ) and rest of the categories for Rajat Kamal ( Silver Lotus Award ) .

Created by Garry Marshall , the series presented an idealized vision of life in the mid-1950s to mid-1960s Midwestern United States , and starred Ron Howard as teenager Richie Cunningham , Henry Winkler as his friend Arthur `` Fonzie '' / `` The Fonz '' Fonzarelli , and Tom Bosley and Marion Ross as Richie 's parents , Howard and Marion Cunningham . Happy Days became one of the biggest hits in television history and heavily influenced the television style of its time . The series began as an unsold pilot starring Howard , Ross and Anson Williams , which aired in 1972 as a segment entitled `` Love and the Television Set '' ( later retitled `` Love and the Happy Days '' for syndication ) on ABC 's anthology show Love , American Style . Based on the pilot , director George Lucas cast Howard as the lead in his 1973 hit film American Graffiti , causing ABC to take a renewed interest in the pilot . The first two seasons of Happy Days focused on the experiences and dilemmas of `` innocent teenager '' Richie Cunningham , his family , and his high school friends , attempting to `` honestly depict a wistful look back at adolescence '' . Initially a moderate hit , the series ' ratings began to fall during its second season , causing Marshall to retool it emphasizing broad comedy and spotlighting the previously minor character of Fonzie , a `` cool '' biker and high school dropout . Following these changes , Happy Days became the number - one program in television in 1976 - 1977 , Fonzie became one of the most merchandised characters of the 1970s , and Henry Winkler became a major star . The series also spawned a number of spin - offs , including the hit shows Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy .

The earlier episodes revolve around Richie and his friends , Potsie Weber and Ralph Malph , with Fonzie as a secondary character . However , as the series progressed , Fonzie proved to be a favorite with viewers and soon more story lines were written to reflect his growing popularity , and Winkler was eventually credited with top billing in the opening credits alongside Howard as a result . Fonzie befriended Richie and the Cunningham family , and when Richie left the series for military service , Fonzie became the central figure of the show , with Winkler receiving sole top billing in the opening credits . In later seasons , other characters were introduced including Fonzie 's young cousin , Charles `` Chachi '' Arcola , who became a love interest for Joanie Cunningham . The eleven seasons of the series roughly track the eleven years from 1955 to 1965 , inclusive , in which the show was set . The series ' pilot was originally shown as Love and the Television Set , later retitled Love and the Happy Days for syndication , a one - episode teleplay on the anthology series Love , American Style , aired on February 25 , 1972 . Happy Days spawned the hit television shows Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy as well as three failures , Joanie Loves Chachi , Blansky 's Beauties featuring Nancy Walker as Howard 's cousin , and Out of the Blue . The show is the basis for the Happy Days musical touring the United States since 2008 . The leather jacket worn by Winkler during the series was acquired by the Smithsonian Institution for the permanent collection at the National Museum of American History .

Originally , the character Spike ( mentioned as Fonzie 's nephew in the episode `` Not With My Sister You Do n't , '' but also claimed to be his cousin , as was stated in one episode ) was supposed to be the character who became Chachi . Season five also saw the introduction of more outlandish and bizarre plots including Fonzie making a bet with the Devil , and the appearance of Mork ( Robin Williams ) , an alien who wanted to take Richie back to his homeworld . Although when first aired this ended with it all simply being a dream Richie was having , this episode was retconned in subsequent airings by way of additional footage to have actually taken place , with Mork having wiped everyone 's memory except Richie 's and then deciding to time travel to the present day ( the setting of Mork & Mindy ) . Lynda Goodfriend joined the cast as semi-regular character Lori Beth Allen , Richie 's steady girlfriend , in season five , and became a permanent member of the cast between seasons eight and nine , after Lori Beth married Richie . After Ron Howard ( Richie ) left the series , Ted McGinley joined the cast as Roger Phillips , the new physical education teacher at Jefferson High and nephew to Howard and Marion . He took over from the departed Richie Cunningham character , acting as counterpoint to Fonzie . Cathy Silvers also joined the cast as Jenny Piccalo , Joanie 's best friend who was previously referenced in various episodes from earlier seasons and remained as a main cast member until the final season . Both actors were originally credited as guest stars but were promoted to the main cast during season ten after several series regulars left the show . The real focus of the series was now on the Joanie and Chachi characters , and often finding ways to incorporate Fonzie into them as a shoulder to cry on , advice - giver , and savior as needed . The Potsie character , who had already been spun off from the devious best friend of Richie to Ralph 's best friend and confidante , held little grist for the writers in this new age , and was now most often used as the occasional `` dumb '' foil for punchlines ( most often from Mr. C. , whom he later worked for at Cunningham Hardware , or Fonzie ) . Billy Warlock joined the cast in season 10 as Roger 's brother Flip , along with Crystal Bernard as Howard 's niece K.C. They were intended as replacements for Erin Moran and Scott Baio ( who departed for their own show , Joanie Loves Chachi ) and were credited as part of the semi-regular cast . Both characters left with the return of Moran and Baio , following the cancellation of Joanie Loves Chachi . Al Molinaro also left Happy Days in season 10 for Joanie Loves Chachi . Pat Morita then returned to the cast as Arnold in his absence . In season 11 , the story line of Richie and Lori Beth is given closure with the two - part episode `` Welcome Home . '' Richie returns home from the Army , but barely has time to unpack when he learns that his parents have lined up a job interview at the Milwaukee Journal for him . However , they are taken aback when he tells them he prefers to take his chances in California to become a Hollywood screenwriter . They remind him of his responsibilities and while Richie gives in , he becomes angry and discontented , torn between his obligations to his family and fulfilling his dream . After a confrontation that ends with a conversation with Fonzie , he decides to face his family and declare his intentions . While somewhat reluctant at first , they support him and bid Richie , Lori Beth , and Little Richie an emotional farewell . Characters ( edit ) Main ( edit ) Richie Cunningham -- The protagonist for the first seven years of the series ( 1974 -- 80 ) . When Ron Howard left the show due to his burgeoning directorial career , Richie was written out by leaving to join the United States Army . He marries his girlfriend , Lori Beth , in season eight by phone , while Fonzie stands - in for him in the wedding . Howard returned for guest appearances as Richie during the show 's final season . He came back with Lori Beth and their son , Richie Jr. , and Ralph in the season 11 two - part episode , `` Welcome Home '' , and then left for California with Lori Beth and Richie Jr. to pursue a career in screenwriting . He also returned in `` Passages '' , when he and his family attended Joanie and Chachi 's wedding . Marion `` Mrs. C '' Cunningham -- Wife of Howard Cunningham , mother of Richie and Joanie , and a traditional homemaker . She is the only character who is allowed to call Fonzie by his real first name , Arthur , which she does affectionately . She sometimes gets tired of being at home , such as in `` Marion Rebels '' where she gets into an argument with Howard and briefly gets a job as a waitress at Arnold 's . In `` Empty Nest '' when Joanie left for Chicago to pursue her music career , Marion had `` empty nest syndrome '' and was thrilled when her and Howard 's niece , K.C. , moved in with them . Marion was one of only four characters to remain with the show throughout its entire run . Howard `` Mr. C '' Cunningham -- Husband of Marion Cunningham , father of Richie and Joanie , business owner of a hardware store called `` Cunningham 's Hardware '' , he is a lodge member , and family man . Frequently seen reading the daily newspaper in his easy chair . Enjoys driving his beloved 1948 DeSoto Suburban . In `` Letting Go '' , he did not want Joanie to go to Chicago , still seeing her as his `` little girl '' . But after talking with Fonzie and realizing how much she has grown up , he supports her going . In `` Passages '' , Howard says that he is proud of Richie and Joanie in Joanie and Chachi 's wedding . Howard is one of only two characters ( the other being Fonzie ) to appear in every episode of the series . Joanie Cunningham -- Richie 's younger sister . In early seasons , she is sometimes snooping on Richie 's activities and would occasionally be sent to her room by her parents . She is affectionately called `` Shortcake '' by Fonzie . Later on , Joanie briefly joins a motorcycle gang after going on a date with a boy , whom she considered to be `` dull '' . In `` Smokin ' Ai n't Cool '' , Joanie started smoking in order to be in a cool club , until Fonzie sets her straight . For years , Fonzie 's cousin , Chachi , had been chasing her until she eventually agreed to a date with him . She and Chachi would eventually form a band together ; and in `` Letting Go '' , they leave for Chicago to pursue their music career ( which spun off the short - lived series Joanie Loves Chachi ) . Joanie , however , eventually left the band to return home to pursue a teaching career . She and Chachi then broke up for a time until Chachi proposes to her and they get married in the series finale . Arthur `` Fonzie '' Fonzarelli -- Initially a minor character , he was a hugely popular breakout character and was made a series regular . Fonzarelli 's `` Fonzie '' nickname and comeback phrase , `` Sit on it , '' were created by the show 's producer , Bob Brunner . Known for being especially cool and for his catchphrases `` ( H ) eyyyy ! '' and `` Whoa ! '' His coolness gave him special powers , such as making machinery ( such as Arnold 's jukebox and other vending machines , electric lights , and car engines ) function by pounding on them with his fist , or getting the attention of girls by snapping his fingers . His parents abandoned him as a child and his grandmother raised him from the age of four . Warren `` Potsie '' Weber -- Richie 's best friend and an aspiring talented singer . He is somewhat more carefree and worldly than Richie in early seasons , then in mid-seasons , he becomes more often paired with Ralph for plots , and the two became inseparable . In later seasons , his character evolves to increasingly emphasize his dimwitted side , and Ralph would often say to him `` You 're such a Potsie '' . Potsie often lightheartedly mentioned the supposed hatred his father ( who never appeared on the show ) had for him . Potsie remained with the show after Richie and Ralph joined the Army ; however , he was seen less frequently . While Potsie 's character became underdeveloped in these later episodes ( and he , along with Ralph , was one of the few characters absent from the finale ) , he is mentioned to regularly bowl with the Cunninghams and still continues his position as assistant manager of Cunningham Hardware , and as pledge master of the Leopard Lodge . Ralph Malph -- In the first season , Ralph was more of a side character to plots , but when Most became a main cast member in season two , Ralph was more commonly seen , and he , Richie , and Potsie ( these two also later became roommates ) became the three amigos . Known for saying `` I still got it ! '' after delivering one of his jokes . Ralph left with Richie after the 1979 -- 80 season to join the Army . Malph returned as a guest star in the final season , although he is absent in the finale ( along with Potsie ) -- he is mentioned as having left to continue college to become an optometrist like his father .

Chachi becomes `` one of the guys '' as he gets older , joining Richie , Potsie , Ralph , and Fonzie in their antics . After Richie and Ralph leave the show , Chachi and Fonzie often have plots together . Chachi has a crush on Joanie Cunningham from the moment he meets her in season 5 , but she initially thinks of him as a little kid , calling him names like `` shrimp , '' `` drip , '' etc . But as they enter high school , she too begins to find him attractive . In season 11 , they broke up for a short period . But as the season progresses , they get back together and Chachi eventually proposes to Joanie and she says yes . The series finale features Chachi and Joanie 's wedding . Al Delvecchio -- From seasons four to nine ( 1976 -- 82 ) , Al became the new owner / cook of the drive - in after Arnold got married the previous season . Al later married Chachi 's mother Louisa , thereby becoming Chachi 's stepfather and Fonzie 's uncle . Molinaro left Happy Days in 1982 to take his `` Al '' character to Joanie Loves Chachi , and returned as Al in three later episodes of Happy Days . Known for sighing `` Yeeep , yep , yep , yep , yep '' when he was disappointed or when things did not go his way .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( March 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Happy Days originated during a time of 1950s nostalgic interest as evident in 1970s film , television , and music . Beginning as an unsold pilot filmed in late 1971 called New Family in Town , with Harold Gould in the role of Howard Cunningham , Marion Ross as Marion , Ron Howard as Richie , Anson Williams as Potsie , Ric Carrott as Charles `` Chuck '' Cunningham , and Susan Neher as Joanie , Paramount passed on making it into a weekly series , and the pilot was recycled with the title Love and the Television Set ( later retitled Love and the Happy Days for syndication ) , for presentation on the television anthology series Love , American Style . In 1972 , George Lucas asked to view the pilot to determine if Ron Howard would be suitable to play a teenager in American Graffiti , then in pre-production . Lucas immediately cast Howard in the film , which became one of the top - grossing films of 1973 . Show creator Garry Marshall and ABC recast the unsold pilot to turn Happy Days into a series . According to Marshall in an interview , executive producer Tom Miller said while developing the sitcom , `` If we do a TV series that takes place in another era , and when it goes into reruns , then it wo n't look old . '' This made sense to Marshall while on the set of the show . Gould had originally been tapped to reprise the role of Howard Cunningham on the show . However , during a delay before the start of production he found work doing a play abroad and when he was notified the show was ready to begin production , he declined to return because he wanted to honor his commitment . Bosley was then offered the role . Production and scheduling notes ( edit ) Jerry Paris , who played next - door neighbor Jerry Helper on The Dick Van Dyke Show and directed several episodes of that series , directed every episode of Happy Days from season three on , except for three episodes in season three ( `` Jailhouse Rock '' , `` Dance Contest '' and `` Arnold 's Wedding '' ) . Producer and writer Bob Brunner created Arthur Fonzarelli 's `` Fonzie '' nickname and his iconic comeback phrase , `` Sit on it . '' Until the show went out of production , reruns of the show were syndicated under the title Happy Days Again . Happy Days was produced by Miller - Milkis Productions , a teaming of Thomas L. Miller with former film editor Edward K. Milkis , which became Miller - Milkis - Boyett Productions when Robert L. Boyett joined the company in 1980 , and was the first ever show to be produced by the company 's most recent incarnation , Miller - Boyett Productions , which followed Milkis 's resignation from the partnership . It was also produced by Henderson Productions and was one of the popular shows produced in association with Paramount Television . In its 11 seasons on the air , Happy Days is the second - longest running sitcom in ABC 's history ( behind The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet , which ran 14 seasons , from 1952 to 1966 ) , and one of the longest - running primetime programs in the network 's history . It is also unique in that it remained in the Tuesday at 8 : 00 p.m. time slot for the series ' first ten seasons . Tuesdays at 8 p.m. became a signature timeslot for ABC , with Who 's The Boss ? instantly becoming a Top 10 hit when it was moved from Thursdays and staying in that time slot for six seasons , followed by the equally family - friendly sitcom Full House ( another Miller - Boyett co-production ) . That sitcom also hit the Top 10 immediately after inheriting the Tuesday at 8 p.m. slot and then stayed there for four seasons . Happy Days also proved to be quite popular in daytime reruns ; they joined the ABC daytime schedule in 1975 , airing reruns at 11 : 30 a.m. ( ET ) , being moved to 11 a.m. in 1977 , paired with Family Feud following at 11 : 30 a.m. It was replaced on the daytime schedule by reruns of its spin - off , Laverne & Shirley , in April 1979 . CBS programming head Fred Silverman scheduled the Maude spin - off Good Times directly against Happy Days during their respective second seasons in an attempt to kill the ABC show 's growing popularity . In a way this move backfired on Silverman , as he was named president of ABC in 1975 -- thus forcing him to come up with a way to save the show he tried to kill the year before . After having knocked Happy Days out of the top 20 programs on television his last year at CBS , Silverman had the series at the top of the Nielsen ratings by 1977 ( see below ) . Good Times was later cancelled in 1979 . Ron Howard later revealed that many of the exterior scenes filmed in Happy Days were actually shot in Munster , Indiana . Production styles ( edit ) The first two seasons of Happy Days ( 1974 -- 75 ) were filmed using a single - camera setup and laugh track . One episode of season two ( `` Fonzie Gets Married '' ) was filmed in front of a studio audience with three cameras as a test run . From the third season on ( 1975 -- 84 ) , the show was a three - camera production in front of a live audience ( with a cast member , usually Tom Bosley , announcing in voice - over , `` Happy Days is filmed before a live audience '' at the start of most episodes ) , giving these later seasons a markedly different style . A laugh track was still used during post-production to smooth over live reactions . Gary Marshall 's earlier television series The Odd Couple had undergone an identical change in production style after its first season in 1970 -- 71 . Sets ( edit ) Richie and Fonzie view his destroyed motorcycle in his living room , 1976 . Fonzie 's apartment was over the Cunninghams ' garage The show had two main sets : the Cunningham home and Arnold 's / Al 's Drive - in . In seasons one and two , the Cunningham house was arranged with the front door on the left and the kitchen on the right of screen , in a triangular arrangement . From season three on , the house was rearranged to accommodate multiple cameras and a studio audience . The Cunninghams ' official address is 565 North Clinton Drive , Milwaukee , Wisconsin . The house that served as the exterior of the Cunningham residence is actually located at 565 North Cahuenga Boulevard ( south of Melrose Avenue ) in Los Angeles , several blocks from the Paramount lot on Melrose Avenue . The Milky Way Drive - In , located on Port Washington Road in the North Shore suburb of Glendale , Wisconsin ( now Kopp 's Frozen Custard Stand ) , was the inspiration for the original Arnold 's Drive - In ; it has since been demolished . The exterior of Arnold 's was a standing set on the Paramount Studios lot that has since been demolished . This exterior was close to Stage 19 , where the rest of the show 's sets were located . The set of the diner in the first season was a room with the same vague details of the later set , such as the paneling , and the college pennants . When the show changed to a studio production in 1975 , the set was widened and the entrance was hidden , but allowed an upstage , central entrance for cast members . The barely - seen kitchen was also upstaged and seen only through a pass - through window . The diner had orange booths , downstage center for closeup conversation , as well as camera left . There were two restroom doors camera right , labeled `` Guys '' and `` Dolls '' . A 1953 Seeburg Model G jukebox ( with replaced metal pilasters from Wico Corp . ) was positioned camera right , and an anachronistic `` Nip - It '' pinball machine ( actually produced in 1972 ) was positioned far camera right . Potsie , Richie , Fonzie , and Ralph Malph at Arnold 's College pennants adorned the walls , including Purdue and University of Wisconsin -- Milwaukee , along with a blue and white sign reading `` Jefferson High School '' . Milwaukee 's Washington High School provided the inspiration for the exteriors of the fictional Jefferson . In a two - part episode from the seventh season , the original Arnold 's Drive - In was written out of the series as being destroyed by fire ( see List of Happy Days episodes , episodes 159 and 160 ) . In the last seasons that covered the 60s timeline , a new Arnold 's Drive - In set ( to portray the new Arnold 's that replaced the original Arnold 's destroyed by the fire ) emerged in a 60s decor with wood paneling and stained glass . In 2004 , two decades after the first set was destroyed , the Happy Days 30th Anniversary Reunion requested that the reunion take place in Arnold 's . The set was rebuilt by production designer James Yarnell based on the original floor plan . The reunion special was taped at CBS Television City 's Bob Barker Studio in September 2004 . Theme music ( edit ) Main article : Happy Days ( TV theme ) Season one used a newly recorded version of `` Rock Around the Clock '' by Bill Haley & His Comets ( recorded in the fall of 1973 ) as the opening theme song . This recording was not commercially released at the time , although the original 1954 recording returned to the American Billboard charts in 1974 as a result of the song 's use on the show . The `` Happy Days '' recording had its first commercial release in 2005 by the German label Hydra Records . ( When Happy Days entered syndication in 1979 , the series was retitled Happy Days Again and used an edited version of the 1954 recording instead of the 1973 version ) . In some prints intended for reruns and overseas broadcasts , the original `` Rock Around the Clock '' opening theme is replaced by the more standard `` Happy Days '' theme . The show 's closing theme song in seasons one and two was a fragment from `` Happy Days '' ( although in a different recording with different lyrics to that which would become the standard version ) , whose music was composed by Charles Fox and whose lyrics were written by Norman Gimbel . According to SAG , this version was performed by Jimmy Haas on lead vocals , Ron Hicklin of the Ron Hicklin Singers , Stan Farber , Jerry Whitman , and Gary Garrett on backing vocals , and studio musicians . From seasons three to ten inclusive , a longer version of `` Happy Days '' replaced `` Rock Around the Clock '' at the beginning of the show . Released as a single in 1976 by Pratt & McClain , `` Happy Days '' cracked the Top 5 . The show itself finished the 1976 -- 77 television season at # 1 , ending the five - year Nielsen reign of All in the Family . On the Season 2 DVD set release & later re releases of the Season 1 DVD set , the song `` Rock Around the Clock '' was replaced with a reconstructed version of `` Happy Days '' because of music rights issues . For the show 's 11th and final season ( 1983 -- 84 ) , the theme was rerecorded in a more modern style . It featured Bobby Arvon on lead vocals , with several back - up vocalists . To accompany this new version , new opening credits were filmed , and the flashing Happy Days logo was reanimated to create an overall `` new '' feel which incorporated 1980s sensibilities with 1950s nostalgia ( although by this time the show was set in 1965 ) .

Specifically , the term arose from the season five episode `` Hollywood ( Part 3 ) '' that first aired on September 20 , 1977 , in which a water - skiing Fonzie ( clad in swim trunks and signature leather jacket ) jumps over a confined shark . Despite the decline in ratings , Happy Days continued for several years until its cancellation in 1984 . The program never received an Emmy nomination for writing during its entire run ; comedy writing Emmy nominations during Happy Days broadcast history were routinely awarded to the writers of such shows as M * A * S * H , The Mary Tyler Moore Show , and All in the Family . Syndication ( 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 . ( March 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Happy Days has been syndicated by many networks . It aired in the United States on TBS from 1989 to 1995 , Nick at Nite from 1995 to 2000 ( and again in 2002 -- 03 ) , Odyssey Network / Hallmark Channel from 1999 to 2002 ( and again from January to April 2013 ) , TV Land from 2002 to 2007 , WGN America from 2002 until 2008 , and FamilyNet from 2009 to 2010 , INSP from 2012 to 2013 , The Hub Network from 2010 to 2014 . It currently airs reruns on MeTV . In the United Kingdom reruns aired on Five USA and on Channel 4 between the early 1990s and the early 2000s . Original - run episodes in the 1970s and 1980s were shown on various regions of the ITV network usually on a weekday afternoon at 17 : 15 . It is currently ( 2015 -- 16 ) being shown on the True Entertainment channel . When reruns first went into syndication on local stations while the series was still producing new episodes , the reruns were re-titled Happy Days Again . The series went into off - network syndication in fall 1979 , just as season seven began on ABC . There are also some episodes still aired with the Happy Days Again title . Merchandising revenue lawsuit ( edit ) On April 19 , 2011 , five Happy Days co-stars ; Erin Moran , Don Most , Marion Ross , Anson Williams and the estate of Tom Bosley , who died in 2010 , filed a $10 million breach - of - contract lawsuit against CBS , which owns the show , claiming they had not been paid for merchandising revenues owed under their contracts . The cast members claimed they had not received revenues from show - related items , including comic books , T - shirts , scrapbooks , trading cards , games , lunch boxes , dolls , toy cars , magnets , greeting cards and DVDs where their images appear on the box covers . Under their contracts , they were supposed to be paid 5 % of the net proceeds of merchandising if their sole image were used , and half that amount if they were in a group . CBS said it owed the actors $8,500 and $9,000 each , most of it from slot machine revenues , but the group said they were owed millions . The lawsuit was initiated after Ross was informed by a friend playing slots at a casino of a `` Happy Days '' machine on which players win the jackpot when five Marion Rosses are rolled . In October 2011 , a judge rejected the group 's fraud claim , which meant they could not receive millions of dollars in potential damages . On June 5 , 2012 , a judge denied a motion filed by CBS to have the case thrown out , which meant it would go to trial on July 17 if the matter was not settled by then . In July 2012 , the actors settled their lawsuit with CBS . Each received a payment of $65,000 and a promise by CBS to continue honoring the terms of their contracts . DVD releases ( edit ) Paramount Home Entertainment and CBS DVD have released the first six seasons of Happy Days on DVD in Region 1 , as of December 2 , 2014 . For the second season , CBS features music replacements due to copyright issues , including the theme song `` Rock Around the Clock '' . ( The Complete First Season retains the original opening , as it was released before CBS was involved ) . Each DVD release after season 2 has contained the original music . ( except for seasons 5 and 6 ) The Sixth Season was released on December 2 , 2014 . As of June 2016 , no more seasons have been planned for release . Seasons 1 to 4 have also been released on DVD in the UK and in regions 2 and 4 . DVD name No. of episodes Release dates Region 1 Region 2 Region 4 The Complete First Season 16 August 17 , 2004 August 27 , 2007 September 19 , 2007 The Second Season 23 April 17 , 2007 November 12 , 2007 March 6 , 2008 The Third Season 24 November 27 , 2007 April 7 , 2008 September 4 , 2008 The Fourth Season 25 December 9 , 2008 January 9 , 2011 February 5 , 2009 The Fifth Season 26 May 20 , 2014 The Sixth Season 27 December 2 , 2014 Spin - offs ( edit ) Happy Days , itself a spin - off from Love , American Style , resulted in seven different spin - off series , including two that were animated : Laverne & Shirley , Blansky 's Beauties , Mork & Mindy , Out of the Blue , Joanie Loves Chachi , The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang ( animated ) and Laverne & Shirley with Special Guest Star the Fonz ( animated ) . The most successful of these spin - offs , Laverne & Shirley ( starring Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams , respectively ) , also took place in early / mid-1960s Milwaukee . As Shotz Brewery workers , modeled after the Miller , Schlitz , and Pabst Breweries once located in Milwaukee , Laverne and Shirley find themselves in adventures with The Fonz , Lenny and Squiggy and even the Cunninghams also living in the midwestern city . The two starring characters eventually moved to Los Angeles in the show 's later years . Penny Marshall is the sister of producer Garry Marshall . Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley had a crossover episode , `` Shotgun Wedding '' , in which Richie and Fonzie get into trouble with a farmer for courting his daughters and Laverne and Shirley try to help them . Part one is the season seven premiere of Happy Days and part two is the season five premiere of Laverne & Shirley . Robin Williams made his first appearance as `` Mork '' on Happy Days . In his own sitcom , Mork & Mindy , his character of Mork , the alien from the planet Ork , landed in 1970s Boulder , Colorado , to study humans and took up residence with Pam Dawber 's character of Mindy McConnell . Originally , Mork 's appearance was explained as a dream of Richie 's , but after the spin - off was established , a new ending was tagged on to the repeat of the Happy Days episode explaining that Mork would return to Earth in 1978 . Joanie Loves Chachi was a short - lived show about Richie 's younger sister Joanie and Fonzie 's younger cousin Chachi 's relationship during their years as musicians in Chicago . While commonly believed that the show was canceled due to low ratings , the program finished in the Top 20 its first season , but ABC determined that the show was losing too much of its lead - in , suggesting low appeal if the show were moved ( a suggestion that came to be realized , as the show 's ratings dropped dramatically after a move to another time slot in its second season ) . This type of cancellation seemed strange in the early 1980s , but soon became a commonplace part of TV audience research . Out of the Blue is a spin - off of Happy Days , though a scheduling error had the series airing prior to the main character 's introduction on Happy Days . Blansky 's Beauties ( 1977 ) starred Nancy Walker as former Las Vegas showgirl Nancy Blansky . One week before the show 's premiere , the Blansky character appeared on Happy Days as a cousin of Howard Cunningham . Scott Baio and Lynda Goodfriend co-starred before joining Happy Days the following fall , and Pat Morita reprised his role of Arnold . Similarly , Eddie Mekka of Laverne & Shirley played the cousin of his Carmine character , while pulling double duty as a regular in both shows . Books ( edit ) A series of novels based on characters and dialog of the series was written by William Johnston and published by Tempo Books in the 1970s . Animation ( edit ) There are two animated series . Both were produced by Hanna - Barbera Productions in association with Paramount Television ( now known as CBS Television Distribution ) . The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang ran from 1980 to 1982 . There are also animated spin - offs of Laverne & Shirley ( Laverne & Shirley in the Army ) and Mork and Mindy ( centering on a young Mork and Mindy in high school ) . The following season , they were connected together as The Mork & Mindy / Laverne & Shirley / Fonz Hour ( 1982 ) . Musicals ( edit ) In the late 1990s , a touring arena show called Happy Days , The Arena Spectacular toured Australia 's major cities . The story featured a property developer , and former girlfriend of Fonzie called Miss Frost ( Rebecca Gibney ) wanting to buy the diner and redevelop it . It starred Craig McLachlan as Fonzie , Max Gillies and Wendy Hughes as Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham , Doug Parkinson as Al and Jo Beth Taylor as Richie 's love interest Laura . Tom Bosley presented an introduction before each performance live on stage , and pop group Human Nature played a 1950s - style rock group . Another stage show , Happy Days : A New Musical began touring in 2008 . Reunions ( edit ) There have been two reunion shows which aired on ABC : the first was The Happy Days Reunion Special , originally aired in March 1992 , followed by a second special in 2005 to commemorate the program 's 30th anniversary . Both were set up in interview / clip format . See also ( edit ) Television in the United States portal Fonz ( video game ) References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` Happy Days Actor Tom Bosley Dies '' .

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is 149.60 million km ( 92.96 million mi ) , and one complete orbit takes 365.256 days ( 1 sidereal year ) , during which time Earth has traveled 940 million km ( 584 million mi ) . Earth 's orbit has an eccentricity of 0.0167 . As seen from Earth , the planet 's orbital prograde motion makes the Sun appear to move with respect to other stars at a rate of about 1 ° ( or a Sun or Moon diameter every 12 hours ) eastward per solar day . Earth 's orbital speed averages about 30 km / s ( 108,000 km / h ; 67,000 mph ) , which is fast enough to cover the planet 's diameter in 7 minutes and the distance to the Moon in 4 hours . From a vantage point above the north pole of either the Sun or Earth , Earth would appear to revolve in a counter clockwise direction around the Sun . From the same vantage point , both the Earth and the Sun would appear to rotate also in a counterclockwise direction about their respective axes . Contents ( hide ) 1 History of study 2 Influence on Earth 3 Events in the orbit 4 Future 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 External links History of study ( edit ) Main article : Heliocentrism Heliocentric Solar System Heliocentrism ( lower panel ) in comparison to the geocentric model ( upper panel ) Heliocentrism is the scientific model that first placed the Sun at the center of the Solar System and put the planets , including Earth , in its orbit . Historically , heliocentrism is opposed to geocentrism , which placed the Earth at the center . Aristarchus of Samos already proposed a heliocentric model in the 3rd century BC . In the 16th century , Nicolaus Copernicus ' De revolutionibus presented a full discussion of a heliocentric model of the universe in much the same way as Ptolemy had presented his geocentric model in the 2nd century . This `` Copernican revolution '' resolved the issue of planetary retrograde motion by arguing that such motion was only perceived and apparent . `` Although Copernicus 's groundbreaking book ... had been ( printed ) over a century earlier , ( the Dutch mapmaker ) Joan Blaeu was the first mapmaker to incorporate his revolutionary heliocentric theory into a map of the world . '' Influence on Earth ( edit ) Main article : Season Because of Earth 's axial tilt ( often known as the obliquity of the ecliptic ) , the inclination of the Sun 's trajectory in the sky ( as seen by an observer on Earth 's surface ) varies over the course of the year . For an observer at a northern latitude , when the north pole is tilted toward the Sun the day lasts longer and the Sun appears higher in the sky . This results in warmer average temperatures , as additional solar radiation reaches the surface . When the north pole is tilted away from the Sun , the reverse is true and the weather is generally cooler . Above the Arctic Circle and below the Antarctic Circle , an extreme case is reached in which there is no daylight at all for part of the year . This is called a polar night . This variation in the weather ( because of the direction of the Earth 's axial tilt ) results in the seasons . Events in the orbit ( edit ) By astronomical convention , the four seasons are determined by the solstices -- the two points in the Earth 's orbit of the maximum tilt of the Earth 's axis , towards the Sun or away from the Sun -- and the equinoxes -- the two points in the Earth 's orbit where the Earth 's tilted axis and an imaginary line drawn from the Earth to the Sun are exactly perpendicular to one another . The solstices and equinoxes divide the year up into four approximately equal parts . In the northern hemisphere winter solstice occurs on or about December 21 ; summer solstice is near June 21 ; spring equinox is around March 20 ; and autumnal equinox is about September 23 . The effect of the Earth 's axial tilt in the southern hemisphere is the opposite of that in the northern hemisphere , thus the seasons of the solstices and equinoxes in the southern hemisphere are the reverse of those in the northern hemisphere ( e.g. the northern summer solstice is at the same time as the southern winter solstice ) . In modern times , Earth 's perihelion occurs around January 3 , and the aphelion around July 4 ( for other eras , see precession and Milankovitch cycles ) . The changing Earth -- Sun distance results in an increase of about 6.9 % in total solar energy reaching the Earth at perihelion relative to aphelion . Since the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun at about the same time that the Earth reaches the closest approach to the Sun , the southern hemisphere receives slightly more energy from the Sun than does the northern over the course of a year . However , this effect is much less significant than the total energy change due to the axial tilt , and most of the excess energy is absorbed by the higher proportion of water in the southern hemisphere . The Hill sphere ( gravitational sphere of influence ) of the Earth is about 1,500,000 kilometers ( 0.01 AU ) in radius , or approximately 4 times the average distance to the moon . This is the maximal distance at which the Earth 's gravitational influence is stronger than the more distant Sun and planets . Objects orbiting the Earth must be within this radius , otherwise they can become unbound by the gravitational perturbation of the Sun . Orbital characteristics epoch J2000. 0 aphelion 152.10 × 10 ^ km ( 94.51 × 10 ^ mi ) 1.0167 AU perihelion 147.10 × 10 ^ km ( 91.40 × 10 ^ mi ) 0.98329 AU semimajor axis 149.60 × 10 ^ km ( 92.96 × 10 ^ mi ) 1.000001018 AU eccentricity 0.0167086 inclination 7.155 ° to Sun 's equator 1.578690 ° to invariable plane longitude of the ascending node 174.9 ° longitude of perihelion 102.9 ° argument of periapsis 288.1 ° period 365.256 363 004 days average speed 29.78 km / s ( 18.50 mi / s ) 107,200 km / h ( 66,600 mph ) The following diagram shows the relation between the line of solstice and the line of apsides of Earth 's elliptical orbit . The orbital ellipse goes through each of the six Earth images , which are sequentially the perihelion ( periapsis -- nearest point to the Sun ) on anywhere from January 2 to January 5 , the point of March equinox on March 19 , 20 , or 21 , the point of June solstice on June 20 , 21 , or 22 , the aphelion ( apoapsis -- farthest point from the Sun ) on anywhere from July 3 to July 5 , the September equinox on September 22 , 23 , or 24 , and the December solstice on December 21 , 22 , or 23 . The diagram shows an exaggerated shape of Earth 's orbit ; the actual orbit is less eccentric than pictured . Because of the axial tilt of the Earth in its orbit , the maximal intensity of Sun rays hits the Earth 23.4 degrees north of equator at the June Solstice ( at the Tropic of Cancer ) , and 23.4 degrees south of equator at the December Solstice ( at the Tropic of Capricorn ) . Future ( edit ) Main article : Stability of the Solar System Mathematicians and astronomers ( such as Laplace , Lagrange , Gauss , Poincaré , Kolmogorov , Vladimir Arnold , and Jürgen Moser ) have searched for evidence for the stability of the planetary motions , and this quest led to many mathematical developments and several successive `` proofs '' of stability for the Solar System . By most predictions , Earth 's orbit will be relatively stable over long periods . In 1989 , Jacques Laskar 's work indicated that the Earth 's orbit ( as well as the orbits of all the inner planets ) can become chaotic and that an error as small as 15 meters in measuring the initial position of the Earth today would make it impossible to predict where the Earth would be in its orbit in just over 100 million years ' time . Modeling the Solar System is a subject covered by the n - body problem .

A full orbit has 360 ° . That fact demonstrates that each day , the Earth travels roughly 1 ° in its orbit . Thus , the Sun will appear to move eastward across the sky relative to the stars by that same amount .

Jump up ^ The reference lists the longitude of perihelion , which is the sum of the longitude of the ascending node and the argument of perihelion . Subtracting from that ( 102.937 ° ) the node longitude of 174.873 ° gives − 71.936 ° . Adding 360 ° gives 288.064 ° . That addition does not change the angle but expresses it in the usual 0 -- 360 ° range for longitudes . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Sun : Facts & Figures '' . Solar System Exploration .

In baseball , the batting average ( BA ) is defined by the number of hits divided by at bats . It is usually reported to three decimal places and pronounced as if it were multiplied by 1,000 : a player with a batting average of . 300 is `` batting three - hundred . '' A point ( or percentage point ) is understood to be . 001 . If necessary to break ties , batting averages could be taken to more than three decimal places . Outfielder Ty Cobb , whose career ended in 1928 , has the highest batting average in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) history . He batted . 366 over 24 seasons , mostly with the Detroit Tigers . In addition , he won a record 11 batting titles for leading the American League in BA over the course of an entire season . He batted over . 360 in 11 consecutive seasons from 1909 to 1919 . Rogers Hornsby has the second highest BA of all - time , at . 358 . He won seven batting titles in the National League ( NL ) and has the highest NL average in a single season since 1900 , when he batted . 424 in 1924 . He batted over . 370 in six consecutive seasons . Shoeless Joe Jackson is the only other player to finish his career with a batting average over . 350 . He batted . 356 over 13 seasons before he was permanently suspended from organized baseball in 1921 for his role in the Black Sox Scandal . Lefty O'Doul first came to the major leagues as a pitcher , but after developing a sore arm , he converted to an outfielder and won two batting titles . The fifth player on the list , and the last with at least a . 345 BA , is Ed Delahanty . Delahanty 's career was cut short when he fell into the Niagara Falls and died during the 1903 season . The last player to bat . 400 in a season , Ted Williams , ranks tied for seventh on the all - time career BA list . Babe Ruth hit for a career . 342 average and is tenth on the list .
