In the film , Bruce Willis 's character sings along to the line , `` smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo '' as he is driving . In the 1995 film Die Hard with a Vengeance , when Willis 's character John McClane is describing his suspension from the police force , he says he was `` smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo . '' The song was frequently employed as bumper music on the syndicated radio talk show Coast to Coast AM , particularly in the earlier days when Art Bell was the host . In a publicly released video , Dylan Klebold , one of the two teens who committed the Columbine High School Massacre , was filmed by a friend while driving in his car at some point prior to the shooting . They were both listening to `` Flowers on the Wall '' playing on the radio , singing along to the song and mocking it . Kurt Vonnegut , Jr. quotes the song 's complete lyrics in his 1981 book Palm Sunday calling the song `` yet another great contemporary poem by the Statler Brothers '' and using it to describe `` the present condition '' of an American man who had recently departed his family . `` It is not a poem of escape or rebirth . It is a poem about the end of a man 's usefulness , '' he adds . The Muppets have a YouTube viral video parodying the song in which a band of rats , The Ratler Brothers , sing the song while Beaker struggles with insomnia after being the subject of an experiment that involved consuming a large amount of coffee . Considering the considerable children 's interest in the franchise , the line in the chorus `` smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo '' is changed to other pointless activities . Nancy Sinatra covered the song for her album Boots An instrumental version of the song was used in the New Zealand TV programme A Dog 's Show .

In a 2006 interview with the New York Times , Greenbaum told a reporter he was inspired to write the song after watching Porter Wagoner singing a gospel song on TV . Greenbaum said : `` I thought , ' Yeah , I could do that , ' knowing nothing about gospel music , so I sat down and wrote my own gospel song . It came easy . I wrote the words in 15 minutes . '' Greenbaum had previously been a member of psychedelic jug band Dr. West 's Medicine Show and Junk Band . When they split up he won a solo contract with producer Erik Jacobsen for Reprise Records . Jacobsen had previously worked with The Lovin ' Spoonful and the song was included on Greenbaum 's first solo album . The song 's arrangement came together in the studio in San Francisco where lead guitarist Russell DaShiell , bass player Doug Killmer from the band Crowfoot and drummer Norman Mayell from the band Sopwith Camel worked with Greenbaum . According to the New York Times article , Greenbaum used a Fender Telecaster guitar with a fuzz box built into the body to generate the song 's characteristic guitar sound . The resulting sound was an `` oddly compelling '' combination of gospel and hard rock music , with loud drums , distorted electric guitar , clapping hands , and tambourines . The production team brought in the Stovall Sisters , an Oakland - based gospel trio , to sing backing vocals . Because of the song 's length and lyrics , the record company was initially reluctant to issue it , but was finally released as a single after two other singles from the album had poor sales . `` Spirit in the Sky '' became a worldwide hit , and was at the time the best - selling single ever for the Reprise label . There is a music video with Greenbaum singing the song . About the song , Greenbaum has been quoted as saying , `` It sounds as fresh today as when it was recorded . I 've gotten letters from funeral directors telling me that it 's their second-most - requested song to play at memorial services , next to ' Danny Boy ' .

Reception ( edit ) Season Critical response Rotten Tomatoes Metacritic 97 % ( 29 reviews ) 79 ( 23 reviews ) 100 % ( 14 reviews ) 88 ( 6 reviews ) Critical response ( edit ) On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the first season has an approval rating of 97 % based on 30 reviews with an average rating of 7.62 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` One Day at a Time breathes fresh life into the classic Norman Lear original with a lively , sharp , and proudly old - school sitcom bolstered by a surfeit of heart and terrific performances from Rita Moreno and Justina Machado . '' Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times found the first season to be `` lively without being rushed '' thanks to the full 30 minute run time . `` The show is nicely written ... and the performances ( especially Moreno 's ) are almost universally engaging , '' according to David Wiegand of the San Francisco Chronicle . The Newsday review by Verne Gay particularly praises Machado as `` flat - out terrific '' and calls the first season `` congenial , good - hearted , easy going , sentimental , old - fashioned and surprisingly new - fashioned . There 's also a deep emotional core here which refuses to be devalued by the typical ( or tired ) beat of a multicamera sitcom . '' A USA Today review by Kelly Lawler noted that Elena 's coming - out arc in the first season has drawn special praise from LGBT critics for its `` unique , realistic and refreshing take on the subject ... the depiction of a young , happy Latinx lesbian comes as a hopeful sign for many . '' Autostraddle senior editor Yvonne Marquez called the arc `` mind - blowing '' and the show revolutionary because `` it centers the family 's brownness and provides ample social commentary to deliver a fantastic modern - day sitcom .

It is a companion to Pullman 's His Dark Materials trilogy . The plot focuses on a battle for free speech and thought against a theocratic totalitarian organisation . The books touch on research into Dust , the cosmic matter that governs consciousness , as well as the portrayal of religion in His Dark Materials . Pullman said the trilogy addresses consciousness : `` Perhaps the oldest philosophical question of all : are we matter ? Or are we spirit and matter ? What is consciousness if there is no spirit ? Questions like that are of perennial fascination and they have n't been solved yet , thank goodness . '' The first novel in the trilogy , La Belle Sauvage , was published in October 2017 ; it is set 10 years before Northern Lights ( known as The Golden Compass in some countries ) and centres on Lyra Belacqua , one of the protagonists of the original trilogy . Alethiometers , dæmons and the Magisterium return , alongside new characters , including a new hero , 11 - year - old Malcolm Polstead . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Books 2.1 La Belle Sauvage 2.2 The Secret Commonwealth 3 References History ( edit ) Pullman conceived The Book of Dust before the publication of Lyra 's Oxford in 2003 . On his website in April 2005 , he wrote that the book was `` under way '' . In 2007 , he described it as `` a big , big book '' . In a 2009 interview with Oxford University newspaper Cherwell , Pullman stated that The Book of Dust was `` growing '' but that he was `` encountering complexities that seem to be making it longer than I thought it would be . '' In 2011 , Pullman said that he was considering writing The Book of Dust in two volumes , one set before His Dark Materials and the other set afterwards . In September 2012 , Pullman told the BBC that The Book of Dust was now his focus and that he had written 220 pages . In December , he told Wired that he had cleared 2013 and most of 2014 to write the book . In May 2016 , he said he had vowed to not cut his hair until it was complete . On 14 February 2017 , Pullman announced that The Book of Dust would be a new trilogy , and announced the publication of the first novel , La Belle Sauvage , published on 19 October 2017 . The books are jointly published by Random House Children 's and David Fickling Books in the United Kingdom , and by Random House Children 's Books in the US . Books ( edit ) The Book of Dust takes place before , during and after the original trilogy ; Pullman described it as an `` equel '' , rather than a sequel , which `` will begin and end with Lyra '' . The plot focuses on a battle for free speech and thought against a totalitarian organisation . The books will touch on research into Dust , the cosmic matter that governs consciousness , as well as the portrayal of religion in His Dark Materials . Pullman said the trilogy addresses consciousness : `` Perhaps the oldest philosophical question of all : are we matter ? Or are we spirit and matter ? What is consciousness if there is no spirit ? Questions like that are of perennial fascination and they have n't been solved yet , thank goodness . '' La Belle Sauvage ( edit ) Main article : La Belle Sauvage The first book , La Belle Sauvage , was published on 19 October 2017 . Set ten years before the His Dark Materials trilogy , the story follows 11 - year - old Malcolm Polstead , his dæmon Asta , a village girl named Alice and her dæmon Ben who become the protectors of the infant Lyra Belacqua and her dæmon , Pantalaimon , in their canoe , La Belle Sauvage , after a flood . The novel introduces the alethiometer specialist Hannah Relf and a new villain , Gerard Bonneville . Returning characters include Lyra 's father Lord Asriel and mother Mrs Coulter , and the Gyptian elder Farder Coram . The Secret Commonwealth ( edit ) The second book , The Secret Commonwealth , begins with Lyra as a 20 - year - old undergraduate and involves her journeying to the Far East via the Levant . No publication date has been officially announced , but at the launch of La Belle Sauvage , Pullman announced that it was complete and has said that he hopes it will be out a year after La Belle Sauvage . As of September 2017 , work on the third book had not commenced . The Secret Commonwealth takes its title from a compilation of folklore by Robert Kirk that Pullman has said is one of his favourite books .

-2838450619166994341 | Right-to-work law | Right - to - work law - wikipedia Right - to - work law This article is about the U.S. laws prohibiting mandated union membership and dues . For the human right concept , see right to work . For the Indian law , see National Rural Employment Guarantee Act . In the context of US labor politics , `` right - to - work laws '' refers to laws ( currently effective in 27 states ) that prohibit union security agreements between companies and labor unions . Under these laws , employees in unionized workplaces are banned from negotiating contracts which require all members who benefit from the union contract to contribute to the costs of union representation . According to the Legal Defense Foundation , right - to - work laws prohibit union security agreements , or agreements between employers and labor unions , that govern the extent to which an established union can require employees ' membership , payment of union dues , or fees as a condition of employment , either before or after hiring . Right - to - work laws do not aim to provide general guarantee of employment to people seeking work , but rather are a government ban on contractual agreements between employers and union employees requiring workers to pay for the costs of union representation . Right - to - work laws ( either by statutes or by constitutional provision ) exist in 27 U.S. states , mostly in the Southern , Western , and Midwestern states . Business interests represented by the United States Chamber of Commerce have lobbied extensively to pass right - to - work legislation . Such laws are allowed under the 1947 federal Taft -- Hartley Act . A further distinction is often made within the law between people employed by state and municipal governments and those employed by the private sector , with states that are otherwise union shop ( i.e. , workers must pay for union representation in order to obtain or retain a job ) having right to work laws in effect for government employees ; provided , however , that the law also permits an `` agency shop '' where employees pay their share for representation ( less than union dues ) , while not joining the union as members .

According to PandoDaily and NSFWCORP , the term itself was coined by Vance Muse , a Republican operative who headed an early right - to - work group , the `` Christian American Association '' , to replace the term `` American Plan '' after it became associated with the anti-union violence of the First Red Scare . Muse used racist rhetoric in his defense of `` right - to - work '' laws . According to the Conservative think tank , the American Enterprise Institute , the term `` right to work '' was coined by Dallas Morning News editorial writer William Ruggles . ( An unrelated use of term `` right to work '' had been coined by French socialist leader Louis Blanc before 1848 . ) Wagner Act ( 1935 ) ( edit ) The National Labor Relations Act , generally known as the Wagner Act , was passed in 1935 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt 's `` Second New Deal . '' Among other things , the Act provided that a company could lawfully agree to be any of the following : A closed shop , in which employees must be members of the union as a condition of employment . Under a closed shop , an employee who ceased being a member of the union for whatever reason , from failure to pay dues to expulsion from the union as an internal disciplinary punishment , was required to be fired even if the employee did not violate any of the employer 's rules . A union shop , which allows for hiring non-union employees , provided that the employees then join the union within a certain period . An agency shop , in which employees must pay the equivalent of the cost of union representation , but need not formally join the union . An open shop , in which an employee can not be compelled to join or pay the equivalent of dues to a union or be fired for joining the union . The Act tasked the National Labor Relations Board , which had existed since 1933 , with overseeing the rules . Taft -- Hartley Act ( 1947 ) ( edit ) In 1947 Congress passed the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 , generally known as the Taft -- Hartley Act , over President Harry S. Truman 's veto . The Act repealed some parts of the Wagner Act , including outlawing the closed shop . Section 14 ( b ) of the Taft -- Hartley Act also authorizes individual states ( but not local governments , such as cities or counties ) to outlaw the union shop and agency shop for employees working in their jurisdictions . Any state law that outlaws such arrangements is known as a `` right - to - work state . '' In the early development of the right - to - work policy , segregationist sentiment was used as an argument , as many people in the South felt that it was wrong for blacks and whites to belong to the same unions . Vance Muse , one of the early developers of the policy in Texas , used that argument in the development of anti-union laws in Texas in the 1940s . Current status ( edit ) The federal government operates under open shop rules nationwide , but many of its employees are represented by unions . Unions that represent professional athletes have written contracts that include particular representation provisions ( such as in the National Football League ) , but their application is limited to `` wherever and whenever legal , '' as the Supreme Court has clearly held that the application of a right - to - work law is determined by the employee 's `` predominant job situs . '' Players on professional sports teams in states with right - to - work laws are thus subject to those laws and can not be required to pay any portion of union dues as a condition of continued employment . Twenty - three states , as well as the District of Columbia , do not have right - to - work laws . On November 18 , 2016 , the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the right of local governments to enact local right - to - work laws in Kentucky , Ohio , and the other states of its jurisdiction . In August 2018 , 67 % of Missouri voters rejected a right - to - work law with 33 % voting in favor . Arguments for and against ( edit ) Minority Rights and due process ( edit ) The first arguments concerning the right to work centered on the rights of a dissenting minority with respect to an opposing majoritarian collective bargain . President Franklin Roosevelt 's New Deal had prompted many U.S. Supreme Court challenges , among which were challenges regarding the constitutionality of the National Industry Recovery Act of 1933 ( NIRA ) . In 1936 , as a part of its ruling in Carter v. Carter Coal Co. the Court ruled against mandatory collective bargaining , stating : The effect , in respect to wages and hours , is to subject the dissentient minority ... to the will of the stated majority ... To ' accept ' in these circumstances , is not to exercise a choice , but to surrender to force . The power conferred upon the majority is , in effect , the power to regulate the affairs of an unwilling minority . This is legislative delegation in its most obnoxious form ; for it is not even delegation to an official or an official body ... but to private persons ... ( A ) statute which attempts to confer such power undertakes an intolerable and unconstitutional interference with personal liberty and private property . The delegation is so clearly arbitrary , and so clearly a denial of rights safeguarded by the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment , that it is unnecessary to do more than refer to decisions of this Court which foreclose the question . Freedom of association ( edit ) Besides the U.S. Supreme Court , other proponents of right - to - work laws also point to the Constitution and the right to freedom of association . They argue that workers should both be free to join unions or to refrain , and thus , sometimes refer to states without right - to - work laws as forced unionism states . These proponents argue that by being forced into a collective bargain , what the majoritarian unions call a fair share of collective bargaining costs is actually financial coercion and a violation of freedom of choice . An opponent to the union bargain is forced to financially support an organization they did not vote for , in order to receive monopoly representation they have no choice over . The Seventh - day Adventist Church discourages the joining of unions , citing the writings of Ellen White , one of the church 's founders , and what writer Diana Justice calls the `` loss of free will '' that occurs when a person joins a labor union . Unfairness ( edit ) Proponents such as the Mackinac Center for Public Policy contend that it is unfair that unions can require new and existing employees to either join the union or pay fees for collective bargaining expenses as a condition of employment under union security agreement contracts . Other proponents contend that unions may still be needed in new and growing sectors of the economy , for example , the voluntary and third party sectors , to assure adequate benefits for new immigrant , `` part - time '' aides in America ( e.g. , US Direct Support Workforce ) . Political contributions ( edit ) Right - to - work proponents , including the Center for Union Facts , contend that political contributions made by unions are not representative of the union workers . The agency shop portion of this had previously been contested with support of National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation in Communications Workers of America v. Beck , resulting in `` Beck rights '' preventing agency fees from being used for expenses outside of collective bargaining if the non-union worker notifies the union of their objection . The right to challenge the fees must include the right to have it heard by an impartial fact finder . It should be noted that Beck applies only to unions in the private sector , given agency fees were struck down for public - sector unions in Janus v. AFSCME in 2018 . Cost of living ( edit ) States enforcing union security provisions in union collective bargaining agreements generally have a higher cost of living , however , no systematic analysis identifies union security agreements as a significant cause of this variance . Free riders ( edit ) Opponents such as Richard Kahlenberg have argued that right - to - work laws simply `` gives employees the right to be free riders -- to benefit from collective bargaining without paying for it '' . In Abood v. Detroit BoE , the Supreme Court of the United States permitted public - sector unions to charge non-members agency fees so that employees in the public sector could be required to pay for the costs of representation , even as they opted not to be a member , as long as these fees are not spent on the union 's political or ideological agenda . This decision was reversed , however , in Janus v. AFSCME , with the Supreme Court ruling that such fees violate the first amendment in the case of public - sector unions , since all bargaining by a public - sector union can be considered political activity . Freedom of contract and association ( edit ) Opponents argue that right - to - work laws restrict freedom of association , and limit the sorts of agreements individuals acting collectively can make with their employer , by prohibiting workers and employers from agreeing to contracts that include fair share fees . Moreover , American law imposes a duty of fair representation on unions ; consequently non-members in right to work states can and do force unions to provide without compensation grievance services that are paid for by union members . In December 2012 , libertarian writer J.D. Tuccille , in Reason magazine , wrote : I consider the restrictions right - to - work laws impose on bargaining between unions and businesses to violate freedom of contract and association ... I 'm disappointed that the state has , once again , inserted itself into the marketplace to place its thumb on the scale in the never - ending game of playing business and labor off against one another ... This is not to say that unions are always good . It means that , when the state is n't involved , they 're private organizations that can offer value to their members . Corporate interests ( edit ) The unions also contend that the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and National Right to Work Committee have received millions of dollars in grants from foundations controlled by major U.S. industrialists like the New York - based Olin Foundation , Inc. , which grew out of a family manufacturing business , but now funds primarily conservative think tanks , media outlets , and university law programs . Kahlenberg and Marvit also argue that , at least in efforts to pass a right - to - work law in Michigan , excluding police and firefighter unions -- traditionally less hostile to Republicans -- from the law caused some to question claims that the law was simply an effort to improve Michigan 's businesses climate , not to seek partisan advantage . Studies of economic effect ( edit ) According to Tim Bartik of the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research , studies of the effect of right - to - work laws abound , but are not consistent . Studies have found both `` some positive effect on job growth , '' and no effect . Thomas Holmes argues that it is difficult to analyze right - to - work laws by comparing states due to other similarities between states that have passed these laws . For instance , right - to - work states often have some strong pro-business policies , making it difficult to isolate the effect of right - to - work laws . Looking at the growth of states in the Southeast following World War II , Bartik notes that while they have right - to - work laws they have also benefited from `` factors like the widespread use of air conditioning and different modes of transportation that helped decentralize manufacturing '' . Economist Thomas Holmes compared counties close to the border between states with and without right - to - work laws ( thereby holding constant an array of factors related to geography and climate ) . He found that the cumulative growth of employment in manufacturing in the right - to - work states was 26 percentage points greater than that in the non-right - to - work states . However , given the study design , Holmes points out `` my results do not say that it is right - to - work laws that matter , but rather that the ' probusiness package ' offered by right - to - work states seems to matter . '' Moreover , as noted by Kevin Drum and others , this result may reflect business relocation rather than an overall enhancement of economic growth , since `` businesses prefer locating in states where costs are low and rules are lax . '' A February 2011 study by the Economic Policy Institute found : Wages in right - to - work states are 3.2 % lower than those in non-RTW states , after controlling for a full complement of individual demographic and socioeconomic variables as well as state macroeconomic indicators . Using the average wage in non-RTW states as the base ( $22.11 ) , the average full - time , full - year worker in an RTW state makes about $1,500 less annually than a similar worker in a non-RTW state . The study goes on to say `` How much of this difference can be attributed to RTW status itself ? There is an inherent endogeneity problem in any attempt to answer that question , namely that RTW and non-RTW states differ on a wide variety of measures that are also related to compensation , making it difficult to isolate the impact of RTW status . '' The rate of employer - sponsored health insurance ( ESI ) is 2.6 percentage points lower in RTW states compared with non-RTW states , after controlling for individual , job , and state - level characteristics . If workers in non-RTW states were to receive ESI at this lower rate , 2 million fewer workers nationally would be covered . The rate of employer - sponsored pensions is 4.8 percentage points lower in RTW states , using the full complement of control variables in ( the study 's ) regression model . If workers in non-RTW states were to receive pensions at this lower rate , 3.8 million fewer workers nationally would have pensions . A 2008 editorial in The Wall Street Journal comparing job growth in Ohio and Texas stated that from 1998 to 2008 , Ohio lost 10,400 jobs , while Texas gained 1,615,000 . The opinion piece suggested right - to - work laws might be among the reasons for the economic expansion in Texas , along with the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) , and the absence of a state income tax in Texas . Another Wall Street Journal editorial in 2012 , by the president and the labor policy director of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy , reported 71 % employment growth in right - to - work states from 1980 to 2011 , while employment in non-right - to - work states grew just 32 % during the same period . The 2012 editorial also stated that since 2001 , compensation in right - to - work states had increased 4 times faster than in other states . Polling ( edit ) In January 2012 , in the immediate aftermath of passage of Indiana 's right - to - work law , a Rasmussen Reports telephone survey found that 74 % of Likely U.S. Voters disagreed with the question , `` Should workers who do not belong to a union be required by law to pay union dues if the company they work is unionized ? '' but `` most also do n't think a non-union worker should enjoy benefits negotiated by the union . '' In Michigan in January through March 2013 , a poll found that 43 percent of those polled thought the law would help Michigan 's economy , while 41 percent thought it would hurt . U.S. states with right - to - work laws ( edit ) Statewide Right - to - work law Local Right - to - work laws No Right - to - work law The following 27 states have right - to - work laws : Alabama ( adopted 1953 , Constitution 2016 ) Arizona ( Constitution , adopted 1946 ) Arkansas ( Constitution , adopted 1947 ) Florida ( Constitution , adopted 1944 , revised 1968 ) Georgia ( adopted 1947 ) Idaho ( adopted 1985 ) Indiana ( adopted , 2012 ) Iowa ( adopted 1947 ) Kansas ( Constitution , adopted 1958 ) Kentucky ( adopted 2017 ) Louisiana ( adopted 1976 ) Michigan ( adopted , 2012 ) Mississippi ( Constitution , adopted 1954 ) Nebraska ( Constitution and statute , adopted 1946 ) New Mexico ( only some counties , namely Chaves , Eddy , Lea , Lincoln , Otero , Roosevelt , Sandoval , and San Juan Counties - adopted by counties beginning 2018 ) Nevada ( adopted 1951 ) North Carolina ( adopted 1947 ) North Dakota ( adopted 1947 ) Oklahoma ( Constitution , adopted 2001 ) South Carolina ( adopted 1954 ) South Dakota ( adopted 1946 ) Tennessee ( adopted 1947 ) Texas ( adopted 1947 , revised 1993 ) Utah ( adopted 1955 ) Virginia ( adopted 1947 ) West Virginia ( adopted 2016 , went into effect September 2017 due to lower court injunctions ) Wisconsin ( adopted 2015 ) Wyoming ( adopted 1963 ) In addition , the territory of Guam also has right - to - work laws , and employees of the US federal government have the right to choose whether or not to join their respective unions . New Hampshire adopted a right - to - work bill in 1947 , but it was repealed in 1949 by the state legislature and governor . The legislature of Missouri passed a right - to - work bill in 2017 , but the law was defeated in a 2018 referendum before it could take effect .

James Earl Jones was born in Arkabutla , Mississippi on January 17 , 1931 , to Ruth ( Connolly ) Jones , a teacher and maid , and Robert Earl Jones ( 1910 -- 2006 ) , an actor , boxer , butler , and chauffeur who left the family shortly after James Earl 's birth . Jones and his father reconciled many years later . His parents were African - American , and Jones has learned they also had Irish and Native American ancestry . From the age of five , Jones was raised by his maternal grandparents , John Henry and Maggie Connolly , who had moved from Mississippi and had a farm in Jackson , Michigan . Jones has described his grandmother , Maggie , as `` the most racist person I have ever known '' ; he had to develop his own independent thinking . His grandmother was of African - American , Cherokee and Choctaw ancestry . Jones found the transition to his grandparents in Michigan traumatic , and the boy developed a stutter so severe he refused to speak . When his family moved to Brethren , Michigan , a teacher helped him overcome his stutter . He remained functionally mute for eight years until he entered high school . He credits his English teacher , Donald Crouch , who discovered he had a gift for writing poetry , with helping him end his silence . Crouch urged him to challenge his reluctance to speak . `` I was a stutterer . I could n't talk . So my first year of school was my first mute year , and then those mute years continued until I got to high school . '' Education ( edit ) After being educated at the Browning School for boys in his high school years and graduating as vice president of his class from Dickson Rural Agricultural School ( now Brethren High School ) in Brethren , Michigan , Jones attended the University of Michigan where he was initially a pre-med major . He joined the Reserve Officer Training Corps and excelled . He felt comfortable within the structure of the military environment and enjoyed the camaraderie of his fellow cadets in the Pershing Rifles Drill Team and Scabbard and Blade Honor Society . During the course of his studies , Jones discovered he was not cut out to be a doctor . Instead , he focused on drama at the University of Michigan School of Music , Theatre & Dance with the thought of doing something he enjoyed , before , he assumed , he would have to go off to fight in the Korean War . After four years of college , Jones graduated from the university in 1955 . Military ( edit ) With the war intensifying in Korea , Jones expected to be deployed as soon as he received his commission as a second lieutenant . As he waited for his orders , he worked as a part - time stage crew hand at the Ramsdell Theatre in Manistee , Michigan , where he had earlier performed . Jones was commissioned in mid-1953 and reported to Fort Benning to attend Infantry Officers Basic Course . He then attended Ranger School and received his Ranger Tab ( although he stated during an interview on the BBC 's The One Show , screened on November 11 , 2009 , that he `` washed out '' of Ranger training ) . He was initially to report to Fort Leonard Wood , but his unit was instead sent to establish a cold weather training command at the former Camp Hale near Leadville , Colorado . His battalion became a training unit in the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains . Jones was promoted to first lieutenant prior to his discharge . He then moved to New York , where he studied at the American Theatre Wing , working as a janitor to support himself .

Darth Vader was portrayed in costume by David Prowse in the film trilogy , with Jones dubbing Vader 's dialogue in postproduction because Prowse 's strong West Country accent was deemed unsuitable for the role by George Lucas . At his own request , Jones was uncredited for the original releases of the first two Star Wars films , though he later would be credited for the first film in its 1997 `` Special Edition '' re-release . As he explained in a 2008 interview : When Linda Blair did the girl in The Exorcist , they hired Mercedes McCambridge to do the voice of the devil coming out of her . And there was controversy as to whether Mercedes should get credit . I was one who thought no , she was just special effects . So when it came to Darth Vader , I said , no , I 'm just special effects . But it became so identified that by the third one , I thought , OK I 'll let them put my name on it . Although uncredited , Jones ' voice is possibly heard as Vader at the conclusion of Star Wars : Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith ( 2005 ) . When specifically asked whether he had supplied the voice , possibly from a previous recording , Jones told Newsday : `` You 'd have to ask Lucas about that . I do n't know . '' Jones reprised his voice role of Vader for the character 's appearances in the animated TV series Star Wars Rebels , and the live - action film Rogue One : A Star Wars Story ( 2016 ) . His other voice roles include Mufasa in the 1994 Disney film The Lion King and its direct - to - video sequel , The Lion King II : Simba 's Pride .

The league was founded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India ( BCCI ) in 2007 , and is regarded as the brainchild of Lalit Modi , the founder and former commissioner of the league . Vivo , the smartphone multinational company , is serving as the title sponsor since the ninth season of the league . The current IPL title holders are the Mumbai Indians , who won the 2017 Indian Premier League . The IPL is the most - attended cricket league in the world and ranks sixth among all sports leagues . In 2010 , the IPL became the first sporting event in the world to be broadcast live on YouTube . The brand value of IPL in 2017 was US $ 5.3 billion , according to Duff & Phelps . According to BCCI , the 2015 IPL season contributed ₹ 11.5 billion ( US $182 million ) to the GDP of the Indian economy .

The ICL was not recognised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India ( BCCI ) or the International Cricket Council ( ICC ) and the BCCI were not pleased with its committee members joining the ICL executive board . To prevent players from joining the ICL , the BCCI increased the prize money in their own domestic tournaments and also imposed lifetime bans on players joining the ICL , which was considered a rebel league by the board . Foundation ( edit ) `` The IPL has been designed to entice an entire new generation of sports fans into the grounds throughout the country . The dynamic Twenty20 format has been designed to attract a young fan base , which also includes women and children . '' `` '' -- Modi during the launch of the IPL . On 13 September 2007 , the BCCI announced the launch of a franchise - based Twenty20 cricket competition called Indian Premier League whose first season was slated to start in April 2008 , in a `` high - profile ceremony '' in New Delhi . BCCI vice-president Lalit Modi , said to be the mastermind behind the idea of IPL , spelled out the details of the tournament including its format , the prize money , franchise revenue system and squad composition rules . It was also revealed that the IPL would be run by a seven - man governing council composed of former India players and BCCI officials , and that the top two teams of the IPL would qualify for that year 's Champions League Twenty20 . Modi also clarified that they had been working on the idea for two years and that IPL was not started as a `` knee - jerk reaction '' to the ICL . The league 's format was similar to that of the Premier League of England and the NBA in the United States . In order to decide the owners for the new league , an auction was held on 24 January 2008 with the total base prices of the franchises costing around $400 million . At the end of the auction , the winning bidders were announced , as well as the cities the teams would be based in : Bangalore , Chennai , Delhi , Hyderabad , Jaipur , Kolkata , Mohali , and Mumbai . In the end , the franchises were all sold for a total of $723.59 million . The Indian Cricket League soon folded in 2008 . Expansions and terminations ( edit ) Crowd during a match of the 2015 IPL season in Hyderabad , India . On 21 March 2010 , it was announced that two new franchises -- Pune Warriors India and Kochi Tuskers Kerala -- would join the league before the fourth season in 2011 . Sahara Adventure Sports Group bought the Pune franchise for $370 million while Rendezvous Sports World bought the Kochi franchise for $333.3 million . However , one year later , on 11 November 2011 , it was announced that the Kochi Tuskers Kerala side would be terminated following the side breaching the BCCI 's terms of conditions . Then , on 14 September 2012 , following the team not being able to find new owners , the BCCI announced that the 2009 champions , the Deccan Chargers , would be terminated . The next month , on 25 October , an auction was held to see who would be the owner of the replacement franchise , with Sun TV Network winning the bid for the Hyderabad franchise . The team would be named Sunrisers Hyderabad . On 14 June 2015 , it was announced that two - time champions , Chennai Super Kings , and the inaugural season champions , Rajasthan Royals , would be suspended for two seasons following their role in a match - fixing and betting scandal . Then , on 8 December 2015 , following an auction , it was revealed that Pune and Rajkot would replace Chennai and Rajasthan for two seasons . The two teams were the Rising Pune Supergiant and the Gujarat Lions . Organization ( edit ) Tournament format ( edit ) Currently , with eight teams , each team plays each other twice in a home - and - away round - robin format in the league phase . At the conclusion of the league stage , the top four teams will qualify for the playoffs . The top two teams from the league phase will play against each other in the first Qualifying match , with the winner going straight to the IPL final and the loser getting another chance to qualify for the IPL final by playing the second Qualifying match . Meanwhile , the third and fourth place teams from league phase play against each other in an eliminator match and the winner from that match will play the loser from the first Qualifying match . The winner of the second Qualifying match will move onto the final to play the winner of the first Qualifying match in the IPL Final match , where the winner will be crowned the Indian Premier League champions . Player acquisition , squad composition and salaries ( edit ) A team can acquire players through any of the three ways : the annual player auction , trading players with other teams during the trading windows , and signing replacements for unavailable players . Players sign up for the auction and also set their base price , and are bought by the franchise that bids the highest for them . Unsold players at the auction are eligible to be signed up as replacement signings . In the trading windows , a player can only be traded with his consent , with the franchise paying the difference if any between the old and new contract . If the new contract is worth more than the older one , the difference is shared between the player and the franchise selling the player . There are generally three trading windows -- two before the auction , and one after the auction but before the start of the tournament . Players can not be traded outside the trading windows or during the tournament , whereas replacements can be signed before or during the tournament . Some of the team composition rules are as follows : The squad strength must be between 16 and 27 players , with a maximum of 9 overseas players A team can play a maximum of 4 overseas players in their playing eleven Salary cap of the entire squad must not exceed ₹ 66 crore ( as of 2017 ) Under - 19 players can not be picked unless they have previously played first - class or List A cricket The term of a player contract is one year , with the franchise having the option to extend the contract by one or two years . Since the 2014 season , the player contracts are denominated in the Indian rupee , before which the contracts were in U.S. dollars . Overseas players can be remunerated in the currency of the player 's choice at the exchange rate on either the contract due date or the actual date of payment . Prior to the 2014 season , Indian domestic players were not included in the player auction pool and could be signed up by the franchises at a discrete amount while a fixed sum of ₹ 10 to 30 lakh would get deducted per signing from the franchise 's salary purse . This received significant opposition from franchise owners who complained that richer franchises were `` luring players with under - the - table deals '' following which the IPL decided to include domestic players in the player auction . According to a 2015 survey by Sporting Intelligence and ESPN The Magazine , the average IPL salary when pro-rated is US $ 4.33 million per year , the second highest among all sport leagues in the world . Since the players in IPL are only contracted for the duration of the tournament ( less than two months ) , the weekly IPL salaries are extrapolated pro rata to obtain average annual salary , unlike other sport leagues in which players are contracted by a single team for the entire year . Prize money ( edit ) The 2015 season of the IPL offered a total prize money of ₹ 40 crore ( US $6.2 million ) , with the winning team netting ₹ 15 crore ( US $2.3 million ) . The first and second runners up received 10 and 7.5 crores , respectively , with the fourth placed team also winning 7.5 crores . The others teams are not awarded any prize money . The IPL rules mandate that half of the prize money must be distributed among the players . Rules ( edit ) IPL games utilise television timeouts and hence there is no time limit in which teams must complete their innings . However , a penalty may be imposed if the umpires find teams misusing this privilege . Each team is given a two - and - a-half - minute `` strategic timeout '' during each innings ; one must be taken by the bowling team between the ends of the 6th and 9th overs , and one by the batting team between the ends of the 13th and 16th overs .

The Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders have won two titles each , and the other three teams who have won the tournament are the Deccan Chargers , Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad . The Chennai Super Kings is the only team to have won the tournament and then defended it the next season , winning in 2010 and winning again in 2011 , thus becoming the first and only team to win the IPL at their home ground , the MA Chidambaram Stadium .

The Chennai Super Kings have also made it to the IPL finals a record 6 times in the 8 years they have played . The current champions are Mumbai Indians who beat Rising Pune Supergiant in the final of the 2017 season to secure their third title and thus became the most successful team in IPL history ever .

Financials ( edit ) Title sponsorship ( edit ) From 2008 to 2012 , the title sponsor was DLF , India 's largest real estate developer , who had secured the rights with a bid of ₹ 200 crore for five seasons . After the conclusion of the 2012 season , PepsiCo bought the title sponsorship rights for ₹ 396.8 crore for the subsequent five seasons . However , the company terminated the deal in October 2015 two years before the expiry of the contract , reportedly due to the two - season suspension of Chennai and Rajasthan franchises from the league . The BCCI then transferred the title sponsorship rights for the remaining two seasons of the contract to Chinese mobile handset manufacturer Vivo for an undisclosed amount estimated to be about ₹ 200 crore . In June 2017 , Vivo retained the rights for the next five seasons ( 2018 -- 2022 ) with a winning bid of ₹ 2199 crore , in a deal more expensive than Barclays ' Premier League title sponsorship contract between 2013 and 2016 . Title sponsor Period Sponsorship fee ( per year ) DLF 2008 -- 2012 ₹ 40 crore Pepsi 2013 -- 2015 ₹ 79.2 crore Vivo 2016 -- 2017 ₹ 100 crore 2018 -- 2022 ₹ 439.8 crore Brand value ( edit ) The IPL has seen a spike in its brand valuation to US $5.3 billion after the 10th edition , according to global valuation and corporate finance advisor Duff & Phelps . The brand value of IPL was estimated to be US $4.5 billion in 2015 by American Appraisal , a Division of Duff & Phelps . Duff & Phelps added that the value of brand IPL has jumped to $4.16 billion after the 2016 edition , against $3.54 billion in 2015 . The 19 % jump is despite the fact that the US dollar to Indian rupee currency has depreciated by nearly 10 % . Team Valuation as on 2017 , Team Brand Value in US $ Mumbai Indians 106 million Kolkata Knight Riders 99 million Royal Challengers Bangalore 88 million Sunrisers Hyderabad 56 million Delhi Daredevils 44 million Kings XI Punjab 41 million Broadcasting ( edit ) The IPL 's broadcast rights were originally held by a partnership between Sony Pictures Networks and World Sport Group , under a ten - year contract valued at US $1.026 billion . Sony would be responsible for domestic television , while WSG would handle international distribution . The initial plan was for 20 % of these proceeds to go to the IPL , 8 % as prize money and 72 % would be distributed to the franchisees from 2008 until 2012 , after which the IPL would go public and list its shares . However , in March 2010 , IPL decided not to go public and list its shares . As of the 2016 season , Sony MAX , Sony SIX , and Sony ESPN served as the domestic broadcasters of the IPL ; MAX and SIX aired broadcasts in Hindi , while SIX also aired broadcasts in the Bengali , Tamil , and Telugu languages . Sony ESPN broadcast English - language feeds . The IPL became a major television property within India ; Sony MAX typically became the most - watched television channel in the country during the tournament , and by 2016 , annual advertising revenue surpassed ₹ 1,200 crore . Viewership numbers were expected to increase further during the 2016 season due to the industry adoption of the new BARC ratings system , which also calculates rural viewership rather than only urban markets . In the 2016 season , Sony 's broadcasts achieved just over 1 billion impressions ( television viewership in thousands ) , jumping to 1.25 billion the following year . Sony also broadcast a companion talk show , Extraaa Innings T20 . On 4 September 2017 , it was announced that the then - current digital rightsholder , Star India ( a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox ) , had acquired the global media rights to the IPL under a five - year contract beginning in 2018 . Valued at ₹ 16,347.5 crore ( ₹ 163.475 billion , US $2.55 billion , £ 1.97 billion ) , it is a 158 % increase over the previous deal , and the most expensive broadcast rights deal in the history of cricket . The IPL sold the rights in packages for domestic television , domestic digital , and international rights ; although Sony held the highest bid for domestic television , and Facebook had made an US $600 million bid for domestic digital rights ( which U.S. media interpreted as a sign that the social network was interested in pursuing professional sports rights ) , Star was the only bidder out of the shortlist of 14 to make bids in all three categories . Star CEO Uday Shankar stated that the IPL was a `` very powerful property '' , and that Star would `` remain very committed to make sure that the growth of sports in this country continues to be driven by the power of cricket '' . He went on to say that `` whoever puts in that money , they put in that money because they believe in the fans of the sport . The universe of cricket fans , it tells you , continues to very healthy , continues to grow . What was paid in 2008 , that was 2008 . India and cricket and IPL -- all three have changed dramatically in the last 10 years . It is a reflection of that . '' The deal led to concerns that Star India now held a monopoly on cricket rights in the country , as it is also the rightsholder of ICC competitions and the Indian national team .

In January 2016 , the Supreme Court appointed Lodha Committee to recommend separate governing bodies for the Board of Control for Cricket in India ( BCCI ) and the Indian Premier League ( IPL ) , where Justice RM Lodha suggested a One State - One Member pattern for the board .

827653584507176470 | Osteochondritis dissecans | Osteochondritis dissecans - wikipedia Osteochondritis dissecans Jump to : navigation , search For other uses of `` OCD '' , see OCD ( disambiguation ) . Osteochondritis dissecans A large flap lesion in the femur head typical of late stage Osteochondritis dissecans . In this case , the lesion was caused by avascular necrosis of the bone just under the cartilage . Pronunciation / ˌɒsti. oʊ kɒnˈdraɪtɪs ˈdɪsɪkænz / Classification and external resources Specialty rheumatology ICD - 10 M93. 2 ICD - 9 - CM 732.7 OMIM 165800 DiseasesDB 9320 eMedicine radio / 495 sports / 57 orthoped / 639 Patient UK Osteochondritis dissecans MeSH D010008 ( edit on Wikidata ) Osteochondritis dissecans ( OCD or OD ) is a joint disorder in which cracks form in the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone . OCD usually causes pain and swelling of the affected joint which catches and locks during movement . Physical examination typically reveals an effusion , tenderness , and a crackling sound with joint movement . OCD is caused by blood deprivation in the subchondral bone . This loss of blood flow causes the subchondral bone to die in a process called avascular necrosis . The bone is then reabsorbed by the body , leaving the articular cartilage it supported prone to damage . The result is fragmentation ( dissection ) of both cartilage and bone , and the free movement of these bone and cartilage fragments within the joint space , causing pain and further damage . OCD can be difficult to diagnose because these symptoms are found with other diseases . However , the disease can be confirmed by X-rays , computed tomography ( CT ) or magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) scans . Non-surgical treatment is rarely an option as the ability for articular cartilage to heal is limited . As a result , even moderate cases require some form of surgery . When possible , non-operative forms of management such as protected reduced or non-weight bearing and immobilization are used . Surgical treatment includes arthroscopic drilling of intact lesions , securing of cartilage flap lesions with pins or screws , drilling and replacement of cartilage plugs , stem cell transplantation , and joint replacement . After surgery rehabilitation is usually a two - stage process of immobilization and physical therapy . Most rehabilitation programs combine efforts to protect the joint with muscle strengthening and range of motion . During the immobilization period , isometric exercises , such as straight leg raises , are commonly used to restore muscle loss without disturbing the cartilage of the affected joint . Once the immobilization period has ended , physical therapy involves continuous passive motion ( CPM ) and / or low impact activities , such as walking or swimming . OCD occurs in 15 to 30 people per 100,000 in the general population each year . Although rare , it is an important cause of joint pain in physically active adolescents . Because their bones are still growing , adolescents are more likely than adults to recover from OCD ; recovery in adolescents can be attributed to the bone 's ability to repair damaged or dead bone tissue and cartilage in a process called bone remodeling . While OCD may affect any joint , the knee tends to be the most commonly affected , and constitutes 75 % of all cases . Franz König coined the term osteochondritis dissecans in 1887 , describing it as an inflammation of the bone -- cartilage interface . Many other conditions were once confused with OCD when attempting to describe how the disease affected the joint , including osteochondral fracture , osteonecrosis , accessory ossification center , osteochondrosis , and hereditary epiphyseal dysplasia . Some authors have used the terms osteochondrosis dissecans and osteochondral fragments as synonyms for OCD .

These fragments are sometimes referred to as joint mice . OCD is a type of osteochondrosis in which a lesion has formed within the cartilage layer itself , giving rise to secondary inflammation . OCD most commonly affects the knee , although it can affect other joints such as the ankle or the elbow . People with OCD report activity - related pain that develops gradually . Individual complaints usually consist of mechanical symptoms including pain , swelling , catching , locking , popping noises , and buckling / giving way ; the primary presenting symptom may be a restriction in the range of movement . Symptoms typically present within the initial weeks of stage I ; however , the onset of stage II occurs within months and offers little time for diagnosis . The disease progresses rapidly beyond stage II , as OCD lesions quickly move from stable cysts or fissures to unstable fragments . Non-specific symptoms , caused by similar injuries such as sprains and strains , can delay a definitive diagnosis . Physical examination typically reveals fluid in the joint , tenderness , and crepitus . The tenderness may initially spread , but often reverts to a well - defined focal point as the lesion progresses . Just as OCD shares symptoms with common maladies , acute osteochondral fracture has a similar presentation with tenderness in the affected joint , but is usually associated with a fatty hemarthrosis . Although there is no significant pathologic gait or characteristic alignment abnormality associated with OCD , the patient may walk with the involved leg externally rotated in an attempt to avoid tibial spine impingement on the lateral aspect of the medial condyle of the femur . Causes ( edit ) See also : Osteochondrosis Despite much research , the causes remain unclear but include repetitive physical trauma , ischemia ( restriction of blood flow ) , hereditary and endocrine factors , avascular necrosis ( loss of blood flow ) , rapid growth , deficiencies and imbalances in the ratio of calcium to phosphorus , and problems of bone formation . Although the name `` osteochondritis '' implies inflammation , the lack of inflammatory cells in histological examination suggests a non-inflammatory cause . It is thought that repetitive microtrauma , which leads to microfractures and sometimes an interruption of blood supply to the subchondral bone , may cause subsequent localized loss of blood supply or alteration of growth . Trauma , rather than avascular necrosis , is thought to cause osteochondritis dissecans in juveniles . In adults , trauma is thought to be the main or perhaps the sole cause , and may be endogenous , exogenous or both . The incidence of repetitive strain injury in young athletes is on the rise and accounts for a significant number of visits to primary care ; this reinforces the theory that OCD may be associated with increased participation in sports and subsequent trauma . High - impact sports such as gymnastics , soccer , basketball , lacrosse , football , tennis , squash , baseball and weight lifting may put participants at a higher risk of OCD in stressed joints ( knees , ankles and elbows ) . Recent case reports suggest that some people may be genetically predisposed to OCD . Families with OCD may have mutations in the aggrecan gene . Studies in horses have implicated specific genetic defects . Pathophysiology ( edit ) Tunnel or notch view X-ray of the right knee from a patient with osteochondritis dissecans -- cystic changes and irregular border are indicated by arrows on the medial side compared to the lateral side Osteochondritis dissecans differs from `` wear and tear '' degenerative arthritis , which is primarily an articular surface problem . Instead , OCD is a problem of the bone underlying the cartilage , which may secondarily affect the articular cartilage . Left untreated , OCD can lead to the development of degenerative arthritis secondary to joint incongruity and abnormal wear patterns . OCD occurs when a loose piece of bone or cartilage partially ( or fully ) separates from the end of the bone , often because of a loss of blood supply ( osteonecrosis ) and decalcification of the trabecular bone matrix . The loose piece may stay in place or slide around , making the joint stiff and unstable . OCD in humans most commonly affects the knees , ankles , and elbow but can affect any joint . In skeletally immature individuals , the blood supply to the epiphyseal bone is good , supporting both osteogenesis and chondrogenesis . With disruption of the epiphyseal plate vessels , varying degrees and depth of necrosis occur , resulting in a cessation of growth to both osteocytes and chondrocytes . In turn , this pattern leads to disordered ossification of cartilage , resulting in subchondral avascular necrosis and consequently OCD . Four minor stages of OCD have been identified after trauma . These include revascularization and formation of granulation ( scar ) tissue , absorption of necrotic fragments , intertrabecular osteoid deposition , and remodeling of new bone . With delay in the revascularization stage , an OCD lesion develops . A lesion can lead to articular - surface irregularities , which in turn may cause progressive arthritic deterioration . Diagnosis ( edit ) To diagnose osteochondritis dissecans , an X-ray , CT scan or MRI scan can be performed to show necrosis of subchondral bone , formation of loose fragments , or both . Occasionally a nuclear medicine bone scan is used to assess the degree of loosening within the joint . Physical examination ( edit ) Physical examination often begins with examination of the patient 's gait . In OCD of the knee , people may walk with the involved leg externally rotated in an attempt to avoid tibial spine impingement on the lateral aspect of the medial condyle of the femur . Next , the examining physician may check for weakness of the quadriceps . This examination may reveal fluid in the joint , tenderness , and crepitus . The Wilson test is also useful in locating OCD lesions of the femoral condyle . The test is performed by slowly extending the knee from 90 degrees , maintaining internal rotation . Pain at 30 degrees of flexion and relief with tibial external rotation is indicative of OCD . Physical examination of a patient with ankle OCD often returns symptoms of joint effusion , crepitus , and diffuse or localized tenderness . Examination often reveals symptoms of generalized joint pain , swelling , and times with limited range of motion . Some with loose body lesions may report catching , locking , or both . The possibility of microtrauma emphasizes a need for evaluation of biomechanical forces at the knee in a physical examination . As a result , the alignment and rotation of all major joints in the affected extremity is common , as are extrinsic and intrinsic abnormalities concerning the affected joint , including laxity . Diagnostic imaging ( edit ) X-rays show lucency of the ossification front in juveniles . In older people , the lesion typically appears as an area of osteosclerotic bone with a radiolucent line between the osteochondral defect and the epiphysis . The visibility of the lesion depends on its location and on the amount of knee flexion used . Harding described the lateral X-ray as a method to identify the site of an OCD lesion . Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) is useful for staging OCD lesions , evaluating the integrity of the joint surface , and distinguishing normal variants of bone formation from OCD by showing bone and cartilage edema in the area of the irregularity . MRI provides information regarding features of the articular cartilage and bone under the cartilage , including edema , fractures , fluid interfaces , articular surface integrity , and fragment displacement . A low T1 and high T2 signal at the fragment interface is seen in active lesions . This indicates an unstable lesion or recent microfractures . While MRI and arthroscopy have a close correlation , X-ray films tend to be less inductive of similar MRI results . Computed tomography ( CT ) scans and Technetium - 99m bone scans are also sometimes used to monitor the progress of treatment . Unlike plain radiographs ( X-rays ) , CT scans and MRI scans can show the exact location and extent of the lesion . Technetium bone scans can detect regional blood flow and the amount of osseous uptake . Both of these seem to be closely correlated to the potential for healing in the fragment . CT scan and projectional radiography of a case of osteochondritis dissecans of parts of the superio - medial talus . Sagittal MRI : Linear low T1 signal at the articular surfaces of the lateral aspects of the medial condyle of the femur confirms the presence of OCD . Sagittal MRI : High T2 signal at the articular surfaces of the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle confirms the presence of OCD . Diffuse increase in T2 signal at the medial femoral condyle indicates marrow edema . Classification ( edit ) OCD is classified by the progression of the disease in stages . There are two main staging classifications used ; one is determined by MRI diagnostic imaging while the other is determined arthroscopically . However , both stagings represent the pathological conditions associated with OCD 's natural progression . While the arthroscopic classification of bone and cartilage lesions is considered standard , the Anderson MRI staging is the main form of staging used in this article . Stages I and II are stable lesions . Stages III and IV describe unstable lesions in which a lesion of the cartilage has allowed synovial fluid between the fragment and bone . MRI staging of osteochondritis dissecans Stage Evaluation Findings Stable Articular cartilage thickening II Stable The articular cartilage is breached ; low signal behind the fragment indicates fibrous attachment III Unstable The articular cartilage is breached ; high signal behind the fragment indicates loss of attachment IV Unstable Formation of loose bodies Cheng arthroscopic staging of osteochondritis dissecans Grade Findings Articular cartilage is smooth and intact but may be soft or ballottable Articular cartilage has a rough surface Articular cartilage has fibrillations or fissures Articular cartilage with a flap or exposed bone Loose , nondisplaced osteochondral fragment Displaced osteochondral fragment Treatment ( edit ) See also : Knee cartilage replacement therapy Treatment options include modified activity with or without weight bearing ; immobilization ; cryotherapy ; anti-inflammatory medication ; drilling of subchondral bone ; microfracture ; removal or reattachment of loose bodies ; mosaicplasty and osteoarticular transfer system ( OATS ) procedures . The primary goals of treatment are : Enhance the healing potential of subchondral bone ; Fix unstable fragments while maintaining joint congruity ; and Replace damaged bone and cartilage with implanted tissues or cells that can grow cartilage . The articular cartilage 's capacity for repair is limited : partial - thickness defects in the articular cartilage do not heal spontaneously , and injuries of the articular cartilage which fail to penetrate subchondral bone tend to lead to deterioration of the articular surface . As a result , surgery is often required in even moderate cases where the osteochondral fragment has not detached from the bone ( Anderson Stage II , III ) . Non-surgical ( edit ) Candidates for non-operative treatment are limited to skeletally immature teenagers with a relatively small , intact lesion and the absence of loose bodies . Non-operative management may include activity modification , protected weight bearing ( partial or non-weight bearing ) , and immobilization . The goal of non-operative intervention is to promote healing in the subchondral bone and prevent potential chondral collapse , subsequent fracture , and crater formation . Once candidates for treatment have been screened , treatment proceeds according to the lesion 's location . For example , those with OCD of the knee are immobilized for four to six weeks or even up to six months in extension to remove shear stress from the involved area ; however , they are permitted to walk with weight bearing as tolerated . X-rays are usually taken three months after the start of non-operative therapy ; if they reveal that the lesion has healed , a gradual return to activities is instituted . Those demonstrating healing by increased radiodensity in the subchondral region , or those whose lesions are unchanged , are candidates to repeat the above described three - month protocol until healing is noted . Surgery ( edit ) Arthroscopic image of OATS surgery on the medial femoral condyle of the knee The choice of surgical versus non-surgical treatments for osteochondritis dissecans is controversial . Consequently , the type and extent of surgery necessary varies based on patient age , severity of the lesion , and personal bias of the treating surgeon -- entailing an exhaustive list of suggested treatments . A variety of surgical options exist for the treatment of persistently symptomatic , intact , partially detached , and completely detached OCD lesions . Post-surgery reparative cartilage is inferior to healthy hyaline cartilage in glycosaminoglycan concentration , histological , and immunohistochemical appearance . As a result , surgery is often avoided if non-operative treatment is viable . Intact lesions ( edit ) If non-surgical measures are unsuccessful , drilling may be considered to stimulate healing of the subchondral bone . Arthroscopic drilling may be performed by using an antegrade ( from the front ) approach from the joint space through the articular cartilage , or by using a retrograde ( from behind ) approach through the bone outside of the joint to avoid penetration of the articular cartilage . This has proven successful with positive results at one - year follow - up with antegrade drilling in nine out of eleven teenagers with the juvenile form of OCD , and in 18 of 20 skeletally immature people ( follow - up of five years ) who had failed prior conservative programs . Hinged lesions ( edit ) Pins and screws can be used to secure flap ( sometimes referred to as hinged ) lesions . Bone pegs , metallic pins and screws , and other bioresorbable screws may be used to secure these types of lesions . Full thickness lesions ( edit ) Morselization of the articular cartilage lesion Harvesting of the articular cartilage and bone Manual crushing used to make a paste graft Impacting the paste graft into the morselized defect The three methods most commonly used in treating full thickness lesions are arthroscopic drilling , abrasion , and microfracturing . In 1946 , Magnusson established the use of stem cells from bone marrow with the first surgical debridement of an OCD lesion . These cells typically differentiate into fibrocartilage and rarely form hyaline cartilage . While small lesions can be resurfaced using this form of surgery , the repair tissue tends to have less strength than normal hyaline cartilage and must be protected for 6 to 12 months . Results for large lesions tend to diminish over time ; this can be attributed to the decreased resilience and poor wear characteristics of the fibrocartilage . In attempts to address the weaker structure of the reparative fibrocartilage , new techniques have been designed to fill the defect with tissue that more closely simulates normal hyaline articular cartilage . One such technique is autologous chondrocyte implantation ( ACI ) , which is useful for large , isolated femoral defects in younger people . In this surgery , chondrocytes are arthroscopically extracted from the intercondylar notch of the articular surface . The chondrocytes are grown and injected into the defect under a periosteal patch . ACI surgery has reported good to excellent results for reduced swelling , pain and locking in clinical follow - up examinations . However , some physicians have preferred to use undifferentiated pluripotential cells , such as periosteal cells and bone marrow stem cells , as opposed to chondrocytes . These too have demonstrated the ability to regenerate both the cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone . Similar to OATS , arthroscopic articular cartilage paste grafting is a surgical procedure offering cost - effective , long - lasting results for stage IV lesions . A bone and cartilage paste derived from crushed plugs of the non-weight - bearing intercondylar notch can achieve pain relief , repair damaged tissue , and restore function . Unstable lesions ( edit ) Some methods of fixation for unstable lesions include countersunk compression screws and Herbert screws or pins made of stainless steel or materials that can be absorbed by the body . If loose bodies are found , they are removed . Although each case is unique and treatment is chosen on an individual basis , ACI is generally performed on large defects in skeletally mature people . Rehabilitation ( edit ) Continuous passive motion ( CPM ) has been used to improve healing of the articular surface during the postoperative period for people with full - thickness lesions . It has been shown to promote articular cartilage healing for small ( < 3 mm in diameter ) lesions in rabbits . Similarly , Rodrigo and Steadman reported that CPM for six hours per day for eight weeks produced an improved clinical outcome in humans . A rehabilitation program often involves protection of the compromised articular surface and underlying subchondral bone combined with maintenance of strength and range of motion . Post-operative analgesics , namely a mix of opioids and NSAIDs , are usually required to control pain , inflammation and swelling . Straight leg raising and other isometric exercises are encouraged during the post-operative or immobilization period . A six to eight - week home or formal physical therapy program is usually instituted once the immobilization period has ended , incorporating range of motion , stretching , progressive strengthening , and functional or sport - specific training . During this time , patients are advised to avoid running and jumping , but are permitted to perform low impact activities , such as walking or swimming . If patients return to activity before the cartilage has become firm , they will typically complain of pain during maneuvers such as squatting or jumping . Prognosis ( edit ) The prognosis after different treatments varies and is based on several factors which include the age of the patient , the affected joint , the stage of the lesion and , most importantly , the state of the growth plate . It follows that the two main forms of osteochondritis dissecans are defined by skeletal maturity . The juvenile form of the disease occurs in open growth plates , usually affecting children between the ages of 5 and 15 years . The adult form commonly occurs between ages 16 to 50 , although it is unclear whether these adults developed the disease after skeletal maturity or were undiagnosed as children . The prognosis is good for stable lesions ( stage I and II ) in juveniles with open growth plates ; treated conservatively -- typically without surgery -- 50 % of cases will heal . Recovery in juveniles can be attributed to the bone 's ability to repair damaged or dead bone tissue and cartilage in a process called bone remodeling . Open growth plates are characterized by increased numbers of undifferentiated chondrocytes ( stem cells ) which are precursors to both bone and cartilaginous tissue . As a result , open growth plates allow for more of the stem cells necessary for repair in the affected joint . Unstable , large , full - thickness lesions ( stage III and IV ) or lesions of any stage found in the skeletally mature are more likely to fail non-operative treatment . These lesions offer a worse prognosis and surgery is required in most cases . Epidemiology ( edit ) OCD is a relatively rare disorder , with an estimated incidence of 15 to 30 cases per 100,000 persons per year . Widuchowski W et al. found OCD to be the cause of articular cartilage defects in 2 % of cases in a study of 25,124 knee arthroscopies . Although rare , OCD is noted as an important cause of joint pain in active adolescents . The juvenile form of the disease occurs in children with open growth plates , usually between the ages 5 and 15 years and occurs more commonly in males than females , with a ratio between 2 : 1 and 3 : 1 . However , OCD has become more common among adolescent females as they become more active in sports . The adult form , which occurs in those who have reached skeletal maturity , is most commonly found in people 16 to 50 years old . While OCD may affect any joint , the knee -- specifically the medial femoral condyle in 75 -- 85 % of knee cases -- tends to be the most commonly affected , and constitutes 75 % of all cases . The elbow ( specifically the capitulum of the humerus ) is the second most affected joint with 6 % of cases ; the talar dome of the ankle represents 4 % of cases . Less frequent locations include the patella , vertebrae , the femoral head , and the glenoid of the scapula . History ( edit ) The condition was initially described by Alexander Monro ( primus ) in 1738 . In 1870 , James Paget described the disease process for the first time , but it was not until 1887 that Franz König published a paper on the cause of loose bodies in the joint . In his paper , König concluded that : Trauma had to be very severe to break off parts of the joint surface . Less severe trauma might contuse the bone to cause an area of necrosis which might then separate . In some cases , the absence of notable trauma made it likely that there existed some spontaneous cause of separation . König named the disease `` osteochondritis dissecans '' , describing it as a subchondral inflammatory process of the knee , resulting in a loose fragment of cartilage from the femoral condyle . In 1922 , Kappis described this process in the ankle joint . On review of all literature describing transchondral fractures of the talus , Berndt and Harty developed a classification system for staging of osteochondral lesions of the talus ( OLTs ) . The term osteochondritis dissecans has persisted , and has since been broadened to describe a similar process occurring in many other joints , including the knee , hip , elbow , and metatarsophalangeal joints .

Hematoxylin and eosin staining . Bar = 200 μm . OCD also is found in animals , and is of particular concern in horses , as there may be a hereditary component in some horse breeds . Feeding for forced growth and selective breeding for increased size are also factors . OCD has also been studied in other animals -- mainly dogs , especially the German Shepherd -- where it is a common primary cause of elbow dysplasia in medium - large breeds . In animals , OCD is considered a developmental and metabolic disorder related to cartilage growth and endochondral ossification . Osteochondritis itself signifies the disturbance of the usual growth process of cartilage , and OCD is the term used when this affects joint cartilage causing a fragment to become loose . According to the Columbia Animal Hospital the frequency of affected animals is dogs , humans , pigs , horses , cattle , chickens , and turkeys , and in dogs the most commonly affected breeds include the German Shepherd , Golden and Labrador Retriever , Rottweiler , Great Dane , Bernese Mountain Dog , and Saint Bernard . Although any joint may be affected , those commonly affected by OCD in the dog are : shoulder ( often bilaterally ) , elbow , knee and tarsus . The problem develops in puppyhood although often subclinically , and there may be pain or stiffness , discomfort on extension , or other compensating characteristics . Diagnosis generally depends on X-rays , arthroscopy , or MRI scans . While cases of OCD of the stifle go undetected and heal spontaneously , others are exhibited in acute lameness . Surgery is recommended once the animal has been deemed lame . Osteochondritis dissecans is difficult to diagnose clinically as the animal may only exhibit an unusual gait . Consequently , OCD may be masked by , or misdiagnosed as , other skeletal and joint conditions such as hip dysplasia .

When he tries to jump across , he calls out his brother 's name before falling into the vent . Ten years later , Max 's 13 - year - old son , Sean Anderson ( Josh Hutcherson ) , visit Max 's brother , volcanologist Trevor Anderson ( Brendan Fraser ) . In a box of items that belonged to Max is a book , Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne . Notes written by Max are found inside the book . In Trevor 's volcanology laboratory , a device shows activity on Snæfell , a dormant volcano in Iceland . Trevor and Sean travel to Iceland to investigate . They try to contact Icelandic volcanologist Sigurbjörn Ásgeirsson , but instead encounter his daughter Hannah Ásgeirsson ( Anita Briem ) since her father had died some years earlier . It turns out that Sigurbjörn and Max were both Vernians , a group of people who believe the works of Jules Verne to be fact and not fiction . Hannah offers to help them climb the volcano . While the group is hiking up the volcano , a lightning storm forces them to take shelter in a cave . The cave entrance collapses , trapping them in what appears to be an abandoned mine . The trio repel down a giant hole and ride on out - of - control mine carts , in which the tracks start to branch off in three ways . Hannah and Trevor save each other from dead - ends and Sean reunites with them . They reach the bottom of a volcanic vent filled with different varieties of crystals , including Diamonds , but learn the floor is actually Muscovite . Sean accidentally drops a diamond , which breaks the Muscovite , and they begin to fall towards the center of the Earth . The vent eventually becomes a water slide which drops them safely into a lake in the center of the Earth , which turns out to be a completely separate world contained within the Earth . The group starts seeking a way back to the surface . Along the way , they find evidence that someone had been there a hundred years ago . Trevor remarks that some instruments found are Lidenbrock 's ( the name of a character in the book ) , suggesting that another group had previously made the journey , somehow returned to the surface and recounted the tale of their adventure to Verne . They find a large tree with some of Max 's things inside of it . While Trevor and Sean are examining what they 've found , Hannah finds Max 's body . They bury Max on the beach of the underground ocean and Trevor reads a letter to Sean found in Max 's journal . Trevor discovers that his brother died due to dehydration because of hot magma surrounding the center of the Earth . Using information from Max 's journal , Trevor determines that they must find a geyser that can send them to the surface before the temperature rises to 200 ° F ( about 93 ° C ) . Further , they must reach the geyser within 48 hours or the water for the geyser will have evaporated . They build a raft and begin crossing the underground ocean , but soon encounter a pack of Xiphactinus . They use large branches has bats to hit them away , until a pod of Elasmosaurus attacks the Xiphactinus , allowing the trio to escape . The raft 's sail becomes loose . Sean tries to hold on , but is blown away and separated from the two adults . A little Bio-luminescent bird guides Sean towards the river . Meanwhile , Trevor and Hannah decide to take a rest , but are attacked by Carnivorous Plants . Hannah is captured and starts being strangled by the plants . Trevor tears the plant that is holding Hannah by the neck out of the ground , and they continue towards the geyser . When they arrive at the river , Trevor calls out to Sean but gets no response . Trevor says he is going to look for Sean , but tells Hannah she should continue on to the geyser and save herself . Before he goes , Hannah kisses Trevor in case he does not return . Meanwhile , Sean has entered an arid , bone - filled area . He hears roars , hides behind a rock and looks at both sides of him but does n't see anything until a puddle of saliva falls in front of him , he looks up and sees an enormous Albino Tyrannosaurus Rex , which upon seeing him , begins to chase after him . Trevor finds him , after he is cornered by the dinosaur , and Trevor runs toward a field of Muscovite , the carnivore follows him and the ground collapses under it 's massive weight , causing it to fall into the sinkhole , seemingly killing it . When they get to a river , they find Hannah sailing a boat fashioned from the bottom jaw of a carnivorous dinosaur . They sail to a volcano with magma rising in its crater , but realized they missed the geyser that will get them back to the surface . Sean notices that the crater walls are wet . Trevor hears water flowing on the other side of the walls and sees that the crater walls contain magnesium . After he uses a flare to ignite the magnesium , the resulting water - magma collision triggers the geyser , shooting them up and out of the center of the Earth through Mount Vesuvius . When they fall , they accidentally destroy some of the vines in a vineyard . To make amends with the vineyard 's farmer , Sean gives the owner a diamond that he found while in the center of the Earth . Trevor sees that Sean has many more diamonds in his backpack . After the adventure , Sean visits Trevor and Hannah in their new home , purchased using some of the diamonds Sean took from the cave ; Trevor is also using them to fund his late brother 's laboratory . Trevor hands Sean a book about another strange land , Atlantis : The Antediluvian World by Ignatius L. Donnelly , and suggests they get together during Sean 's Christmas break . Sean reveals that he has brought the little bird back from the center of the Earth to keep as a pet . However , the bird happily flies away , possibly reproducing his extinct species .

Match Day for the NRMP Main Residency Match is on the third Friday of March each year , and Match Day ceremonies occur at many of the 155 medical schools in the United States where those results are announced .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Osteopathic 3 Military 4 References 4.1 Further reading 5 External links Background ( edit ) In the United States , applicants and programs that register with the NRMP participate in a process known as `` the Match . '' Applicants for the NRMP Main Residency Match usually begin the application process in the summer , and programs review applications and invite selected candidates for interviews held between October and February . After the interview period is over , applicants submit to the NRMP a `` rank - order list '' of programs where they wish to train . Similarly , residency programs submit a rank order list of applicants they prefer to train . The process is blinded so that neither applicants nor programs see each other 's rank order lists . Aggregate Match results can be found on the NRMP public website . The two parties ' rank order lists are processed using the NRMP 's matching algorithm , which creates stable ( a proxy for optimal ) matches between applicants and programs . On the Monday prior to Match Day for the Main Residency Match , applicants find out from the NRMP if ( but not where ) they matched . Applicants who match to a training position must wait until the Match Day on Friday to learn the location of that position . Applicants who do not match to a training position in the Main Residency Match may be eligible to obtain an unfilled position through the Match Week Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program that concludes on Thursday , the day prior to Match Day . Although the majority of U.S. allopathic medical school seniors match to one of their top three program choices , applicants may match to programs lower on their rank order list , especially when their preferred specialty for training is among competitive specialties such as Plastic Surgery , Dermatology , Neurosurgery , Ophthalmology , Orthopaedics , Otolaryngology , and Radiation Oncology . Osteopathic ( edit ) Further information : Comparison of MD and DO in the US ( residency training ) The American Osteopathic Association ( AOA ) sponsors a similar but separate Match for osteopathic students and graduates , the results of which are announced in February , before release of the NRMP results . Osteopathic physicians ( DOs ) may participate in either the NRMP or AOA matching plan and obtain positions in programs accredited by either the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education ( ACGME ) , or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine American Osteopathic Association ( AOA ) . The AOA Match is being phased out as a result of the transition to a single accreditation system under the aegis of the ACGME . Military ( edit ) Members of the U.S. military participate in their own selection process for programs located at military hospitals , clinics , and bases . The military selection usually occurs in mid-December to allow students who did not match to participate in other national matching plans References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Med Page Today '' .

( November 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) 51 - star flags have been designed and used as a symbol by supporters of statehood in various areas . This is an example of how a 51 - star flag might look . The `` 51st state '' , in post-1959 American political discourse , is a phrase that refers to areas or locales that are -- seriously or facetiously -- considered candidates for U.S. statehood , joining the 50 states that presently compose the United States . The phrase has been applied to external territories as well as parts of existing states which would be admitted as separate states in their own right . The phrase `` 51st state '' can be used in a positive sense , meaning that a region or territory is so aligned , supportive , and conducive with the United States , that it is like a U.S. state . It can also be used in a pejorative sense , meaning an area or region is perceived to be under excessive American cultural or military influence or control . In various countries around the world , people who believe their local or national culture has become too Americanized sometimes use the term `` 51st state '' in reference to their own countries . Voters in Washington , D.C. and Puerto Rico have both voted for statehood in referendums . As statehood candidates , their admission to the Union requires Congressional approval with the President 's signature . Before Alaska and Hawaii became states of the United States in 1959 , the corresponding expression was `` the 49th state '' .

Historically , most new states brought into being by Congress have been established from an organized incorporated territory , created and governed by Congress . In some cases , an entire territory became a state ; in others some part of a territory became a state . As defined in a 1953 U.S. Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs , the traditionally accepted requirements for statehood are : The inhabitants of the proposed new state are imbued with and are sympathetic toward the principles of democracy as exemplified in the American form of Government . A majority of the electorate wish statehood . The proposed new state has sufficient population and resources to support state government and ... carry its share of the cost of Federal Government . In most cases , the organized government of a territory made known the sentiment of its population in favor of statehood , usually by referendum . Congress then directed that government to organize a constitutional convention to write a state constitution . Upon acceptance of that constitution , by the people of the territory and then by Congress , would adopt a joint resolution granting statehood and the President would issue a proclamation announcing that a new state has been added to the Union . While Congress , which has ultimate authority over the admission of new states , has usually followed this procedure , there have been occasions ( due to unique case - specific circumstances ) where it did not . Puerto Rico ( edit ) Main article : Proposed political status for Puerto Rico See also : Statehood movement in Puerto Rico Puerto Rico has been discussed as a potential 51st state of the United States . In a 2012 status referendum a majority of voters , 54 % , expressed dissatisfaction with the current political relationship . In a separate question , 61 % of voters supported statehood ( excluding the 26 % of voters who left this question blank ) . On December 11 , 2012 , Puerto Rico 's legislature resolved to request that the President and the U.S. Congress act on the results , end the current form of territorial status and begin the process of admitting Puerto Rico to the Union as a state . On January 4 , 2017 , Puerto Rico 's new representative to Congress pushed a bill that would ratify statehood by 2025 . On June 11 , 2017 , another non-binding referendum was held where 97.7 percent voted and favored the statehood option . The turn out for this vote was a low 23 percent , but some leaders of the New Progressive Party say this is because of migration of Puerto Ricans to mainland . This referendum was boycotted by the other two parties of opposition . Background ( edit ) Since 1898 , Puerto Rico has had limited representation in the Congress in the form of a Resident Commissioner , a nonvoting delegate . The 110th Congress returned the Commissioner 's power to vote in the Committee of the Whole , but not on matters where the vote would represent a decisive participation . Puerto Rico has elections on the United States presidential primary or caucus of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party to select delegates to the respective parties ' national conventions although presidential electors are not granted on the Electoral College . As American citizens , Puerto Ricans can vote in U.S. presidential elections , provided they reside in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia and not in Puerto Rico itself . Residents of Puerto Rico pay U.S. federal taxes : import / export taxes , federal commodity taxes , social security taxes , therefore contributing to the American Government . Most Puerto Rico residents do not pay federal income tax but do pay federal payroll taxes ( Social Security and Medicare ) . However , federal employees , those who do business with the federal government , Puerto Rico -- based corporations that intend to send funds to the U.S. and others do pay federal income taxes . Puerto Ricans may enlist in the U.S. military . Puerto Ricans have participated in all American wars since 1898 ; 52 Puerto Ricans had been killed in the Iraq War and War in Afghanistan by November 2012 . Puerto Rico has been under U.S. sovereignty for over a century after it was ceded to the U.S. by Spain following the end of the Spanish -- American War , and Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917 . The island 's ultimate status has not been determined as of 2012 , and its residents do not have voting representation in their federal government . Puerto Rico has limited representation in the U.S. Congress in the form of a Resident Commissioner , a delegate with limited no voting rights . Like the states , Puerto Rico has self - rule , a republican form of government organized pursuant to a constitution adopted by its people , and a bill of rights . This constitution was created when the U.S. Congress directed local government to organize a constitutional convention to write the Puerto Rico Constitution in 1951 . The acceptance of that constitution by Puerto Rico 's electorate , the U.S. Congress , and the U.S. president occurred in 1952 . In addition , the rights , privileges and immunities attendant to United States citizens are `` respected in Puerto Rico to the same extent as though Puerto Rico were a state of the union '' through the express extension of the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the U.S. Constitution by the U.S. Congress in 1948 . Puerto Rico is designated in its constitution as the `` Commonwealth of Puerto Rico '' . The Constitution of Puerto Rico which became effective in 1952 adopted the name of Estado Libre Asociado ( literally translated as `` Free Associated State '' ) , officially translated into English as Commonwealth , for its body politic . The island is under the jurisdiction of the Territorial Clause of the U.S. Constitution , which has led to doubts about the finality of the Commonwealth status for Puerto Rico . In addition , all people born in Puerto Rico become citizens of the U.S. at birth ( under provisions of the Jones -- Shafroth Act in 1917 ) , but citizens residing in Puerto Rico can not vote for president nor for full members of either house of Congress . Statehood would grant island residents full voting rights at the Federal level . The Puerto Rico Democracy Act ( H.R. 2499 ) was approved on April 29 , 2010 , by the United States House of Representatives 223 -- 169 , but was not approved by the Senate before the end of the 111th Congress . It would have provided for a federally sanctioned self - determination process for the people of Puerto Rico . This act would provide for referendums to be held in Puerto Rico to determine the island 's ultimate political status . It had also been introduced in 2007 . Vote for statehood ( edit ) Puerto Rican status referendum , 2012 Location Puerto Rico Date November 6 , 2012 ; 4 years ago ( 2012 - 11 - 06 ) Voting system simple majority for the first question first - past - the - post for the second question Should Puerto Rico continue its current territorial status ? Yes 46.00 % No 54.00 % Which non-territorial option do you prefer ? Statehood 61.16 % Free Association 33.34 % Independence 5.49 % There were 515,348 blank and invalidated ballots counted alongside the 1,363,854 ballots . Under Puerto Rico Law , these ballots are not considered cast votes and are therefore not reflected in the final tally . In November 2012 , a referendum resulted in 54 percent of respondents voting to reject the current status under the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution , while a second question resulted in 61 percent of voters identifying statehood as the preferred alternative to the current territorial status . The 2012 referendum was by far the most successful referendum for statehood advocates and support for statehood has risen in each successive popular referendum . However , more than one in four voters abstained from answering the question on the preferred alternative status . Statehood opponents have argued that the statehood option garnered only 45 percent of the votes if abstentions are included . If abstentions are considered , the result of the referendum is much closer to 44 percent for statehood , a number that falls under the 50 percent majority mark . The Washington Post , The New York Times and the Boston Herald have published opinion pieces expressing support for the statehood of Puerto Rico . On November 8 , 2012 , Washington , D.C. newspaper The Hill published an article saying that Congress will likely ignore the results of the referendum due to the circumstances behind the votes . and U.S. Congressman Luis Gutiérrez U.S. Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez , both of Puerto Rican ancestry , agreed with The Hill ' s statements . Shortly after the results were published Puerto Rico - born U.S. Congressman José Enrique Serrano commented `` I was particularly impressed with the outcome of the ' status ' referendum in Puerto Rico . A majority of those voting signaled the desire to change the current territorial status . In a second question an even larger majority asked to become a state . This is an earthquake in Puerto Rican politics . It will demand the attention of Congress , and a definitive answer to the Puerto Rican request for change . This is a history - making moment where voters asked to move forward . '' Several days after the referendum , the Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi , Governor Luis Fortuño , and Governor - elect Alejandro García Padilla wrote separate letters to the President of the United States Barack Obama addressing the results of the voting . Pierluisi urged Obama to begin legislation in favor of the statehood of Puerto Rico , in light of its win in the referendum . Fortuño urged him to move the process forward . García Padilla asked him to reject the results because of their ambiguity . The White House stance related to the November 2012 plebiscite was that the results were clear , the people of Puerto Rico want the issue of status resolved , and a majority chose statehood in the second question . Former White House director of Hispanic media stated , `` Now it is time for Congress to act and the administration will work with them on that effort , so that the people of Puerto Rico can determine their own future . '' On May 15 , 2013 , Resident Commissioner Pierluisi introduced H.R. 2000 to Congress to `` set forth the process for Puerto Rico to be admitted as a state of the Union , '' asking for Congress to vote on ratifying Puerto Rico as the 51st state . On February 12 , 2014 , Senator Martin Heinrich introduced a bill in the US Senate . The bill would require a binding referendum to be held in Puerto Rico asking whether the territory wants to be admitted as a state . In the event of a yes vote , the president would be asked to submit legislation to Congress to admit Puerto Rico as a state . Government funding for a fifth referendum ( edit ) On January 15 , 2014 , the United States House of Representatives approved $2.5 million in funding to hold a referendum . This referendum can be held at any time as there is no deadline by which the funds have to be used . The United States Senate then passed the bill which was signed into law on January 17 , 2014 by Barack Obama , then the President of the United States . 2017 referendum ( edit ) Puerto Rican status referendum , 2017 Location Puerto Rico Date June 11 , 2017 ; 3 months ago ( 2017 - 06 - 11 ) Voting system Plurality Results Statehood 97.16 % Independence / Free Association 1.51 % Current Territorial Status 1.32 % The previous plebiscites provided voters with three options : statehood , free association , and independence . The Puerto Rican status referendum of 2017 originally offered only two options : Statehood and Independence / Free Association , however a `` current territorial status '' was added before the referendum took place . The referendum was held on June 11th 2017 , with an overwhelming majority of voters supporting statehood at 97.16 % , however with a voter turnout of 22.99 % , a historical low . If the majority voted for Independence / Free Association , a second vote would have been held to determine the preference : full independence as a nation or associated free state status with independence but with a `` free and voluntary political association '' between Puerto Rico and the United States . The specifics of the association agreement would be detailed in the Compact of Free Association that would be negotiated between the U.S. and Puerto Rico . That document might cover topics such as the role of the US military in Puerto Rico , the use of the U.S. currency , free trade between the two entities , and whether Puerto Ricans would be U.S. citizens . Governor Ricardo Rosselló is strongly in favor of statehood to help develop the economy and help to `` solve our 500 - year - old colonial dilemma ... Colonialism is not an option ... It 's a civil rights issue ... 3.5 million citizens seeking an absolute democracy , '' he told the news media . Benefits of statehood include an additional $10 billion per year in federal funds , the right to vote in presidential elections , higher Social Security and Medicare benefits , and a right for its government agencies and municipalities to file for bankruptcy . The latter is currently prohibited . At approximately the same time as the referendum , Puerto Rico 's legislators are also expected to vote on a bill that would allow the Governor to draft a state constitution and hold elections to choose senators and representatives to the federal Congress . Regardless of the outcome of the referendum or the bill on drafting a constitution , action by the United States Congress would be necessary to implement changes to the status of Puerto Rico under the Territorial Clause of the United States Constitution . If the majority of Puerto Ricans were to choose the Free Association option -- and only 33 % voted for it in 2012 -- and if it were granted by the US Congress , Puerto Rico would become a Free Associated State , a virtually independent nation . It would have a political and economical treaty of association with the U.S. that would stipulate all delegated agreements . This could give Puerto Rico a similar status to Micronesia , the Marshall Islands , and Palau , countries which currently have a Compact of Free Association with the United States . Those Free Associated States use the American dollar , receive some financial support and the promise of military defense if they refuse military access to any other country . Their citizens are allowed to work in the U.S. and serve in its military . On June 11 , 500,000 Puerto Ricans had voted for statehood , while 7,600 voted for independence and 6,700 voted for status quo . Guam ( edit ) Guam , ( formally the Territory of Guam ) is an unincorporated and organized territory of the United States . Located in the western Pacific Ocean , Guam is one of five American territories with an established civilian government . In the 1980s and early 1990s , there was a significant movement in favor of this U.S. territory becoming a commonwealth , which would give it a level of self - government similar to Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands . However , the federal government rejected the version of a commonwealth that the government of Guam proposed , because its clauses were incompatible with the Territorial Clause ( Art . IV , Sec. 3 , cl. 2 ) of the U.S. Constitution . Other movements advocate U.S. statehood for Guam , union with the state of Hawaii , or union with the Northern Mariana Islands as a single territory , or independence . In a 1982 plebiscite , voters indicated interest in seeking commonwealth status but seemed not to understand the ramifications of such a change . The island has been considering another non-binding plebiscite on decolonization since 1998 . Governor Eddie Baza Calvo intended to include one during the island 's November 2016 elections but it was delayed again . A Commission on Decolonization was established in 1997 to educate the people of Guam about the various political status options in its relationship with the U.S. : statehood , free association and independence . The group was dormant for some years . In 2013 , the Commission began seeking funding to start a public education campaign . There were few subsequent developments until late 2016 . In early December 2016 , the Commission scheduled a series of education sessions in various villages about the current status of Guam 's relationship with the U.S. and the self - determination options that might be considered . The Commission 's current Executive Director is Edward Alvarez and there are ten members . The group is also expected to release position papers on independence and statehood but the contents have not yet been completed . Guam has been occupied for over 450 years by the Spanish , the Japanese , and the United States . In 2016 , Governor Eddie Calvo planned a decolonization referendum that the indigenous Chamorro people of Guam would solely participate in , in which the three options would be given , including statehood , independence , and free association . However , this referendum for the Chamorro People was struck down by a Federal Judge on the grounds of racial discrimination . In the wake of this ruling , Governor Calvo has suggested that two ballots be held : One for the Chamorro People and one for eligible US citizens who are non-indigenous residents of Guam . The Governor hopes for a decolonization plebiscite to occur in 2018 . It is also possible that in 2018 , Guam and its neighbor , the Northern Mariana Islands ( a US commonwealth ) may vote on a reunification referendum . United Nations support ( edit ) The United Nations is in favor of greater self - determination for Guam and other such territories . The UN 's Special Committee on Decolonization has agreed to endorse the Governor 's education plan . The commission 's May 2016 report states : `` With academics from the University of Guam , ( the Commission ) was working to create and approve educational materials . The Office of the Governor was collaborating closely with the Commission '' in developing educational materials for the public . The United States Department of the Interior had approved a $300,000 grant for decolonization education , Edward Alvarez told the United Nations Pacific Regional Seminar in May 2016 . `` We are hopeful that this might indicate a shift in ( United States ) policy to its Non-Self - Governing Territories such as Guam , where they will be more willing to engage in discussions about our future and offer true support to help push us towards true self - governances and self - determination . '' District of Columbia ( edit ) Main article : District of Columbia statehood movement See also : District of Columbia retrocession Washington , D.C. is often mentioned as a candidate for statehood . In Federalist No. 43 of The Federalist Papers , James Madison considered the implications of the definition of the `` seat of government '' found in the United States Constitution . Although he noted potential conflicts of interest , and the need for a `` municipal legislature for local purposes '' , Madison did not address the district 's role in national voting . Legal scholars disagree on whether a simple act of Congress can admit the District as a state , due to its status as the seat of government of the United States , which Article I , Section 8 of the Constitution requires to be under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress ; depending on the interpretation of this text , admission of the full District as a state may require a Constitutional amendment , which is much more difficult to enact . However , the Constitution does not set a minimum size for the District . Its size has already changed once before , when Virginia reclaimed the portion of the District south of the Potomac . So the constitutional requirement for a federal district can be satisfied by reducing its size to the small central core of government buildings and monuments , giving the rest of the territory back to Maryland . Washington , D.C. residents who support the statehood movement sometimes use a shortened version of the Revolutionary War protest motto `` No taxation without representation '' , omitting the initial `` No '' , denoting their lack of Congressional representation ; the phrase is now printed on newly issued Washington , D.C. license plates ( although a driver may choose to have the District of Columbia website address instead ) . President Bill Clinton 's presidential limousine had the `` Taxation without representation '' license plate late in his term , while President George W. Bush had the vehicle 's plates changed shortly after beginning his term in office . President Barack Obama had the license plates changed back to the protest style at the beginning of his second term . This position was carried by the D.C. Statehood Party , a political party ; it has since merged with the local Green Party affiliate to form the D.C. Statehood Green Party . The nearest this movement ever came to success was in 1978 , when Congress passed the District of Columbia Voting Rights Amendment . Two years later in 1980 , local citizens passed an initiative calling for a constitutional convention for a new state . In 1982 , voters ratified the constitution of the state , which was to be called New Columbia . The drive for statehood stalled in 1985 , however , when the District of Columbia Voting Rights Amendment failed because not enough states ratified the amendment within the seven - year span specified . Another proposed option would be to have Maryland , from which the current land was ceded , retake the District of Columbia , as Virginia has already done for its part , while leaving the National Mall , the United States Capitol , and the White House in a truncated District of Columbia . This would give residents of the District of Columbia the benefit of statehood while precluding the creation of a 51st state . The requirement that Maryland consent to a change in its borders makes this unlikely . 2016 statehood referendum ( edit ) District of Columbia statehood referendum , 2016 Location District of Columbia Date November 8 , 2016 ; 10 months ago ( 2016 - 11 - 08 ) Voting system simple majority Shall the voters of the District of Columbia advise the Council to approve or reject this proposal ? Yes 85.83 % No 14.17 % Main article : District of Columbia statehood referendum , 2016 On April 15 , 2016 , District Mayor Muriel Bowser called for a citywide vote on whether the nation 's capital should become the 51st state . This was followed by the release of a proposed state constitution . This constitution would make the Mayor of the District of Columbia the governor of the proposed state , while the members of the City Council would make up the proposed House of Delegates . While the name `` New Columbia '' has long been associated with the movement , community members thought other names , such as Potomac or Douglass , were more appropriate for the area . On November 8 , 2016 , the voters of the District of Columbia voted overwhelmingly in favor of statehood , with 86 % of voters voting to advise approving the proposal . By status changes of former U.S. territories ( edit ) Philippines ( edit ) The Philippines has had small grassroots movements for U.S. statehood . Originally part of the platform of the Progressive Party , then known as the Federalista Party , the party dropped it in 1907 , which coincided with the name change . In 1981 , the presidential candidate for the Federal Party ran on a platform of Philippine Statehood . As recently as 2004 , the concept of the Philippines becoming a U.S. state has been part of a political platform in the Philippines . Supporters of this movement include Filipinos who believe that the quality of life in the Philippines would be higher and that there would be less poverty there if the Philippines were an American state or territory . Supporters also include Filipinos that had fought as members of the United States Armed Forces in various wars during the Commonwealth period . The Philippine statehood movement had a significant impact during the early American colonial period . It is no longer a mainstream movement , but is a small social movement that gains interest and talk in that nation . By partition of or secession from current U.S. States ( edit ) Main article : List of U.S. state partition proposals There exist several proposals to divide states with regions that are politically or culturally divergent into smaller , more homogeneous , administratively efficient entities . Splitting a state would need to receive the approval of its legislature and the Congress . Proposals of new states by partition include : Arizona : The secession of Pima County in Arizona with the hopes of Cochise , Yuma , and Santa Cruz joining to form a state . California and Oregon : Jefferson , from northern California and southern Oregon . Various proposals of partition and secession in California , usually involving splitting the south half from the north or the urban coastline from the rest of the state . California 's Secretary of State allowed Tim Draper to start collecting signatures for his petition to split California into six different states . The initiative drive did not gain sufficient valid signatures to be put on the ballot . Colorado : On June 6 , 2013 , commissioners in Weld County , Colorado announced a proposal to leave Colorado along with neighboring counties and form the state of North Colorado . The counties in contention voted to begin plans for secession on November 5 , 2013 , with mixed results . Delaware , Maryland and Virginia : Delmarva , from the eastern shores of Maryland and Virginia combining with the state of Delaware , or more often , only Kent County and Sussex County , Delaware . Florida : The secession of South Florida and the Greater Miami area to form the state of `` South Florida . '' South Florida has a population of over 7 million , comprising 41 % of Florida 's population . Illinois : The secession of Cook County , which contains Chicago , from Illinois to form a state . Chicago sits in the northeast corner of the state , with the remainder of the Illinois sometimes referred to as Downstate Illinois . Such proposals have invariably come from the more Republican downstate Illinois , as a way to end the dominance in statewide politics of the overwhelmingly Democratic Chicago area . Stronger moves have been made to form Southern Illinois `` The Great Rivers State '' . With the separation being south of Springfield , the capital would be in Mt . Vernon in the area commonly referred to as `` Little Egypt '' . Maryland : The secession of five counties on the western side of the state due to political differences with the more liberal central part of the state . Michigan and Superior : The northern part of Michigan known formally as the Upper Peninsula of Michigan , and colloquially known as Yooper Land , the Yooper Peninsula , the UP , or Superiorland . Note that the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is actually north of the region of the Lower Peninsula normally known in lower Michigan as `` Northern Michigan '' , which tends to cause some confusion . New York : Various proposals partitioning New York into separate states , all of which involve to some degree the separation of New York City from the rest of New York state Texas : Under the joint resolution of Congress by which the Republic of Texas was admitted to the Union , it had the right to divide itself into up to five states . It is not clear whether this provides any power beyond that already provided by the Constitution . What is clear is that the Texas Legislature would have to approve any proposal to divide the state using this prerogative . There were a significant number of Texans who supported dividing the state in its early decades . They were generally called divisionists . The Texas Constitution and the Texas Annexation Act both provide for the possibility of Texas voting to divide into up to five sovereign States of the Union . Current Texas politics and self - image make any tampering with Texas ' status as the largest state by land area in the contiguous United States unlikely . Washington : Dividing the state into Western Washington and Eastern Washington via the Cascade Mountains . Suggested names include East Washington , Lincoln , and Cascadia . The National Movement for the Establishment of a 49th State , founded by Oscar Brown , Sr. and Bradley Cyrus and active in Chicago in 1934 -- 37 , had the aim of forming an African American state in the South . Use internationally ( edit ) Some countries , because of their cultural similarities and close alliances with the United States , are often described as a 51st state . In other countries around the world , movements with various degrees of support and seriousness have proposed U.S. statehood . North America ( edit ) Canada ( edit ) Main article : Annexation movements of Canada In Canada , `` the 51st state '' is a phrase generally used in such a way as to imply that if a certain political course is taken , Canada 's destiny will be as little more than a part of the United States . Examples include the Canada -- United States Free Trade Agreement in 1988 , the debate over the creation of a common defense perimeter , and as a potential consequence of not adopting proposals intended to resolve the issue of Quebec sovereignty , the Charlottetown Accord in 1992 and the Clarity Act in 1999 . The phrase is usually used in local political debates , in polemic writing or in private conversations . It is rarely used by politicians themselves in a public context , although at certain times in Canadian history political parties have used other similarly loaded imagery . In the 1988 federal election , the Liberals asserted that the proposed Free Trade Agreement amounted to an American takeover of Canada -- notably , the party ran an ad in which Progressive Conservative ( PC ) strategists , upon the adoption of the agreement , slowly erased the Canada - U.S. border from a desktop map of North America . Within days , however , the PCs responded with an ad which featured the border being drawn back on with a permanent marker , as an announcer intoned `` Here 's where we draw the line . '' The implication has historical basis and dates to the breakup of British America during the American Revolution . The colonies that had confederated to form the United States invaded Canada ( at the time a term referring specifically to the modern - day provinces of Quebec and Ontario , which had only been in British hands since 1763 ) at least twice , neither time succeeding in taking control of the territory . The first invasion was during the Revolution , under the assumption that French - speaking Canadians ' presumed hostility towards British colonial rule combined with the Franco - American alliance would make them natural allies to the American cause ; the Continental Army successfully recruited two Canadian regiments for the invasion . That invasion 's failure forced the members of those regiments into exile , and they settled mostly in upstate New York . The Articles of Confederation , written during the Revolution , included a provision for Canada to join the United States , should they ever decide to do so , without needing to seek U.S. permission as other states would . The United States again invaded Canada during the War of 1812 , but this effort was made more difficult due to the large number of Loyalist Americans that had fled to what is now Ontario and still resisted joining the republic . The Hunter Patriots in the 1830s and the Fenian raids after the American Civil War were private attacks on Canada from the U.S. Several U.S. politicians in the 19th century also spoke in favour of annexing Canada . In the late 1940s , during the last days of the Dominion of Newfoundland ( at the time a dominion - dependency in the Commonwealth and independent of Canada ) , there was mainstream support , although not majority , for Newfoundland to form an economic union with the United States , thanks to the efforts of the Economic Union Party and significant U.S. investment in Newfoundland stemming from the U.S. - British alliance in World War II . The movement ultimately failed when , in a 1948 referendum , voters narrowly chose to confederate with Canada ( the Economic Union Party supported an independent `` responsible government '' that they would then push toward their goals ) . A few groups in Canada have actively campaigned in favor of joining the United States . These annexationist movements have not attracted large mainstream attention , although surveys have found that a small minority of Canadians expressed support for the concept in surveys done by Léger Marketing in 2001 and in 2004 . In the United States , the term `` the 51st state '' when applied to Canada can serve to highlight the similarities and close relationship between the United States and Canada . Sometimes the term is used disparagingly , intended to deride Canada as an unimportant neighbor . In the Quebec general election , 1989 , the political party Parti 51 ran 11 candidates on a platform of Quebec seceding from Canada to join the United States ( with its leader , André Perron , claiming Quebec could not survive as an independent nation ) . The party attracted just 3,846 votes across the province , 0.11 % of the total votes cast . In comparison , the other parties in favour of sovereignty of Quebec in that election got 40.16 % ( PQ ) and 1.22 % ( NPDQ ) . Mexico ( edit ) In 1847 -- 48 , with the United States occupying Mexico at the conclusion of the Mexican -- American War , there was talk in Congress of annexing the entirety of Mexico ; see All of Mexico Movement . The result was the Mexican Cession , also called the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo for the town in which the treaty was signed , in which the U.S. annexed over 40 % of Mexico . Talk of annexing all of Mexico disappeared after this time . In 1848 a bill was debated in congress that would have annexed the Republic of Yucatán , but a vote failed to take place . Central America ( edit ) Due to geographical proximity of the Central American countries to the U.S. which has powerful military , economic , and political influences , there were several movements and proposals by the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries to annex some or all of the Central American republics ( Costa Rica , El Salvador , Guatemala , Honduras with the formerly British - ruled Bay Islands , Nicaragua , Panama which had the U.S. - ruled Canal Zone territory from 1903 to 1979 , and Belize , which is a constitutional monarchy and was known as British Honduras until 1981 ) . However , the U.S. never acted on these proposals from some U.S. politicians ; some of which were never delivered or considered seriously . In 2001 , El Salvador adopted the U.S. dollar as its currency , while Panama has used it for decades due to its ties to the Canal Zone . Cuba ( edit ) In 1854 the Ostend Manifesto was written , outlining the rationale for the U.S. to purchase Cuba from Spain , implying taking the island by force if Spain refused . Once the document became published many northern states denounced the document . In 1859 , Senator John Slidell introduced a bill to purchase Cuba from Spain . Cuba , like many Spanish territories , wanted to break free from Spain . A pro-independence movement in Cuba was supported by the U.S. , and Cuban guerrilla leaders wanted annexation to the United States , but Cuban revolutionary leader José Martí called for Cuban nationhood . When the U.S. battleship Maine sank in Havana Harbor , the U.S. blamed Spain and the Spanish -- American War broke out in 1898 . After the U.S. won , Spain relinquished claim of sovereignty over territories , including Cuba . The U.S. administered Cuba as a protectorate until 1902 . Several decades later in 1959 , the Cuban government of U.S. - backed Fulgencio Batista was overthrown by Fidel Castro who subsequently installed a Marxist -- Leninist government . When the US refused to trade with Cuba , Cuba allied with the Soviet Union who imported Cuban sugar , Cuba 's main export . The government installed by Fidel Castro has been in power ever since . In 2016 , the US eased trade and travel restrictions against Cuba . United Airlines submitted a formal application to the U.S. Department of Transportation ( DOT ) for authority to provide service from four of its largest U.S. gateway cities -- Newark / New York , Houston , Washington , D.C. and Chicago -- to Havana 's José Martí International Airport . Dominica ( edit ) In 1898 , one or more news outlets in the Caribbean noted growing sentiments of resentment of British rule in Dominica , including the system of administration over the country . These publications attempted to gauge sentiments of annexation to the United States as a way to change this system of administration . Dominican Republic ( edit ) On June 30 , 1870 , the United States Senate took a vote on an annexation treaty with the Dominican Republic , but it failed to proceed . Greenland ( edit ) During World War II , when Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany , the United States briefly controlled Greenland for battlefields and protection . In 1946 , the United States offered to buy Greenland from Denmark for $100 million ( $1.2 billion today ) but Denmark refused to sell it . Several politicians and others have in recent years argued that Greenland could hypothetically be in a better financial situation as a part of the United States ; for instance mentioned by professor Gudmundur Alfredsson at University of Akureyri in 2014 . One of the actual reasons behind US interest in Greenland could be the vast natural resources of the island . According to Wikileaks , the U.S. appears to be highly interested in investing in the resource base of the island and in tapping the vast expected hydrocarbons off the Greenlandic coast . Haiti ( edit ) Time columnist Mark Thompson suggested that Haiti had effectively become the 51st state after the 2010 Haiti earthquake , with the widespread destruction prompting a quick and extensive response from the United States , even so far as the stationing of the U.S. military in Haitian air and sea ports to facilitate foreign aid . Asia ( edit ) Hong Kong ( edit ) The idea of admission to the United States was raised alongside proposals of becoming independent ( within or outside the Commonwealth , as a republic or a Commonwealth realm ) , rejoining the Commonwealth , confederation with Canada as the eleventh province or the fourth territory ( with reference to Ken McGoogan 's proposal regarding Scotland ) , returning to British rule as a dependent territory , joining the Republic of China , or aceding to other federations as a or a number of city - states . Iraq ( edit ) A resident of Seattle , Washington , through a homemade sign , facetiously declares that the Republic of Iraq is the 51st U.S. state . Several publications suggested that the Iraq War was a neocolonialist war to make the Republic of Iraq into the 51st U.S. state , though such statements are usually made in a facetious manner , as a tongue - in - cheek statement . Israel and palestine ( edit ) Several websites assert that Israel is the 51st state due to the annual funding and defense support it receives from the United States . An example of this concept can be found in 2003 when Martine Rothblatt published a book called Two Stars for Peace that argued for the addition of Israel and the Palestinian territories surrounding it as the 51st state in the Union . The American State of Canaan , is a book published by Prof. Alfred de Grazia , political science and sociologist , in March 2009 , proposing the creation of the 51st and 52nd states from Israel and the Palestinian territories . Japan ( edit ) In Article 3 of the Treaty of San Francisco between the Allied Powers and Japan , which came into force in April 1952 , the U.S. put the outlying islands of the Ryukyus , including the island of Okinawa -- home to over 1 million Okinawans related to the Japanese -- and the Bonin Islands , the Volcano Islands , and Iwo Jima into U.S. trusteeship . All these trusteeships were slowly returned to Japanese rule . Okinawa was returned on May 15 , 1972 , but the U.S. stations troops in the island 's bases as a defense for Japan . Taiwan ( edit ) Further information : Taiwan independence , Political status of Taiwan , Legal status of Taiwan , and Taiwan -- United States relations A poll in 2003 among Taiwanese residents aged between 13 and 22 found that , when given the options of either becoming a province of the People 's Republic of China or a state within the U.S. , 55 % of the respondents preferred statehood while only 36 % chose joining China . A group called Taiwan Civil Government , established in Taipei in 2008 , claims that the island of Taiwan and other minor islands are the territory of the United States . Europe ( edit ) Albania ( edit ) Albania has often been called the 51st state for its perceived strongly pro-American positions , mainly because of the United States ' policies towards it . In reference to President George W. Bush 's 2007 European tour , Edi Rama , Tirana 's mayor and leader of the opposition Socialists , said : `` Albania is for sure the most pro-American country in Europe , maybe even in the world ... Nowhere else can you find such respect and hospitality for the President of the United States . Even in Michigan , he would n't be as welcome . '' At the time of ex-Secretary of State James Baker 's visit in 1992 , there was even a move to hold a referendum declaring the country as the 51st American state . In addition to Albania , Kosovo which is predominately Albanian is seen as a 51st state due to the heavily presence and influence of the United States . The US has had troops and the largest base outside US territory , Camp Bondsteel in the territory since 1999 . Denmark ( edit ) In 1989 , the Los Angeles Times proclaimed that Denmark becomes the 51st state every Fourth of July , because Danish citizens in and around Aalborg celebrate the American independence day . Poland ( edit ) Poland has historically been staunchly pro-American , dating back to General Tadeusz Kościuszko and Casimir Pulaski 's involvement in the American Revolution . This pro-American stance was reinforced following favorable American intervention in World War I ( leading to the creation of an independent Poland ) and the Cold War ( culminating in a Polish state independent of Soviet influence ) . Poland contributed a large force to the `` Coalition of the Willing '' in Iraq . A quote referring to Poland as `` the 51st state '' has been attributed to James Pavitt , then Central Intelligence Agency Deputy Director for Operations , especially in connection to extraordinary rendition . Sicily ( italy ) ( edit ) The Party of Reconstruction in Sicily , which claimed 40,000 members in 1944 , campaigned for Sicily to be admitted as a U.S. state . This party was one of several Sicilian separatist movements active after the downfall of Italian Fascism . Sicilians felt neglected or underrepresented by the Italian government after the annexation of 1861 that ended the rule of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies based in Naples . The large population of Sicilians in America and the American - led Allied invasion of Sicily in July -- August 1943 may have contributed to the sentiment . United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ( edit ) The United Kingdom has sometimes been called the 51st state due to the `` Special Relationship '' between the two countries , particularly since the close cooperation between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill during World War II , and more recently continued during the premierships of Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair . In a December 29 , 2011 , column in The Times , David Aaronovitch said in jest that the UK should consider joining the United States , as the British population can not accept union with Europe and the UK would inevitably decline on its own . He also made an alternative case that England , Scotland , and Wales should be three separate states , with Northern Ireland joining the Republic of Ireland and becoming an all - Ireland state . Oceania ( edit ) Australia ( edit ) In Australia , the term ' 51st state ' is used as a disparagement of a perceived invasion of American cultural or political influence . New Zealand ( edit ) In 2010 there was an attempt to register a 51st State Party with the New Zealand Electoral Commission . The party advocates New Zealand becoming the 51st state of the United States of America . The party 's secretary is Paulus Telfer , a former Christchurch mayoral candidate . On February 5 , 2010 , the party applied to register a logo with the Electoral Commission . The logo -- a US flag with 51 stars -- was rejected by the Electoral Commission on the grounds that it was likely to cause confusion or mislead electors . As of 2014 , the party remains unregistered and can not appear on a ballot . From terra nullius ( edit ) There are four categories of terra nullius , land that is unclaimed by any state : the small unclaimed territory of Bir Tawil between Egypt and Sudan , Antarctica , the oceans , and celestial bodies such as the Moon or Mars . In the last three of these , international treaties ( the Antarctic Treaty , the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea , and the Outer Space Treaty respectively ) prevent colonization and potential statehood of any of these uninhabited ( and , given current technology , not permanently inhabitable ) territories . Lagrangian points of Earth 's orbit ( edit ) Main article : L5 Society The L Society was founded in 1975 with the intention of constructing a space habitat at one of the Lagrangian points of Earth 's orbit . Its members successfully lobbied the United States Senate to defeat the Moon Treaty , a treaty that would have transferred sovereignty of all outer space to an international organization , in 1980 . The high price such a project would cost compared to previous Earth - based colonies eventually led to the group 's demise in the 1980s . In popular culture ( edit ) Further information : List of fictional states of the United States § 51st state This article appears to contain trivial , minor , or unrelated references to popular culture . Please reorganize this content to explain the subject 's impact on popular culture rather than simply listing appearances ; add references to reliable sources if possible , otherwise delete it . ( May 2017 ) Related terms have been used in books and film usually used in a negative sense : In Americathon ( 1979 ) , set in a fictional 1998 , Britain ( renamed as Limeyland ) has become the 57th state , and the logo of the Safeway grocery chain hangs on the Palace of Westminster . In the alternative universe of Alan Moore 's graphic novel Watchmen , the Vietnam War ends with the conquest of the North and annexation of a united Vietnam as the 51st state . In The Light of Other Days ( 2000 ) , a novel by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter , Britain joins the United States , with the Prime Minister serving as governor and the Royal Family exiled to Australia . The British film The 51st State ( released in the United States and Canada as Formula 51 ) , makes fun of Anglo - American relations . The term has also been used in music . The 1986 album The Ghost of Cain by the English rock band New Model Army features a track called `` 51st State '' , which refers to Britain under Margaret Thatcher for her perceived pro-Americanism . The 1986 track `` Heartland '' by English band The The describes an increasingly economically divided Britain as the 51st state of the US .

With my vote , I make the initial request to the Federal Government to begin the process of the decolonization through : ( 1 ) Free Association : Puerto Rico should adopt a status outside of the Territory Clause of the Constitution of the United States that recognizes the sovereignty of the People of Puerto Rico . The Free Association would be based on a free and voluntary political association , the specific terms of which shall be agreed upon between the United States and Puerto Rico as sovereign nations . Such agreement would provide the scope of the jurisdictional powers that the People of Puerto Rico agree to confer to the United States and retain all other jurisdictional powers and authorities . Under this option the American citizenship would be subject to negotiation with the United States Government ; ( 2 ) Proclamation of Independence , I demand that the United States Government , in the exercise of its power to dispose of territory , recognize the national sovereignty of Puerto Rico as a completely independent nation and that the United States Congress enact the necessary legislation to initiate the negotiation and transition to the independent nation of Puerto Rico . My vote for Independence also represents my claim to the rights , duties , powers , and prerogatives of independent and democratic republics , my support of Puerto Rican citizenship , and a `` Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation '' between Puerto Rico and the United States after the transition process Jump up ^ Wyss , Jim . `` Will Puerto Rico become the newest star on the American flag ?

Unbeknownst to them , the Dark Lord Sauron forges the One Ring in Mount Doom , infusing into it a great part of his power to dominate , through it and at a distance , the other Rings , so he might conquer Middle - earth . A final alliance of men and elves battles Sauron 's forces in Mordor , where Prince Isildur of Gondor severs Sauron 's finger , and the Ring with it , thereby destroying his physical form . With Sauron 's first defeat , the Third Age of Middle - earth begins . Unfortunately , the Ring 's influence corrupts Isildur , and , rather than destroy the Ring , Isildur takes it for himself . Isildur is later killed by Orcs , and the Ring is lost for 2,500 years , until it is found by Gollum , who owns it for five centuries . The Ring is then found by a Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins . Sixty years later , Bilbo celebrates his 111th birthday in the Shire , reuniting with his old friend , Gandalf the Grey . Bilbo reveals that he intends to leave the Shire for one last adventure , and he leaves his inheritance , including the Ring , to his nephew , Frodo . Although Bilbo has begun to become corrupted by the Ring and tries to keep it for himself , Gandalf intervenes . Gandalf , suspicious of the Ring , tells Frodo to keep it secret and to keep it safe . Gandalf then investigates the Ring , discovers its true identity , and returns to warn Frodo . Gandalf also learns that Gollum was tortured by Orcs , and that Gollum uttered two words during his torture : `` Shire '' and `` Baggins . '' Gandalf instructs Frodo to leave the Shire , accompanied by his gardener Samwise Gamgee . Gandalf rides to Isengard to meet with fellow wizard Saruman the White , but learns that he has joined forces with Sauron , who has unleashed the Ringwraiths to find Frodo . After a brief battle , Saruman imprisons Gandalf . Frodo and Sam are joined by fellow Hobbits , Merry and Pippin , and they evade the Ringwraiths , arriving in Bree , where they are meant to meet Gandalf . However , Gandalf never arrived , and they are instead aided by a ranger named Strider , a friend of Gandalf 's , who escorts them to Rivendell . The Hobbits are ambushed by the Ringwraiths , and one stabs Frodo with a cursed Morgul blade . Arwen , an elf and Strider 's lover , comes to Frodo 's aid and successfully takes him to Rivendell , where he is healed . Frodo meets Gandalf , who escaped Isengard on the back of a giant Eagle . Arwen 's father , Lord Elrond , holds a council that decides the Ring must be destroyed in Mount Doom . While the members argue , Frodo volunteers to take the Ring , accompanied by Gandalf , Sam , Merry , Pippin , elf Legolas , dwarf Gimli , Boromir of Gondor , and Strider , who is revealed to be Aragorn , Isildur 's heir and the rightful King of Gondor . Bilbo gives Frodo his sword , Sting . The Fellowship of the Ring sets off , but Saruman 's magic forces them to travel through the Mines of Moria , much to Gandalf 's displeasure . The Fellowship discovers that the dwarves within Moria have been slain , and they are attacked by Orcs and a cave troll . They defeat them , but are confronted by an ancient demon called a Balrog . Gandalf casts the Balrog into a vast chasm , but it drags Gandalf down into the darkness with it . The rest of the Fellowship , now commanded by Aragorn , reaches Lothlórien , home to elves Galadriel and Celeborn . Galadriel privately informs Frodo that only he can complete the quest , and that one of his friends will try to take the Ring . Meanwhile , Saruman creates an army of Uruk - hai to track down and kill the Fellowship . The Fellowship leaves Lothlórien by river to Parth Galen . Frodo wanders off and is confronted by Boromir , who tries to take the Ring in desperation . Afraid of the Ring corrupting his friends , Frodo decides to travel to Mordor alone . The Fellowship is then ambushed by the Uruk - hai . Merry and Pippin are taken captive , and Boromir is mortally wounded by the Uruk chieftain . After slaying the chieftain , Aragorn watches Boromir die peacefully . Sam follows Frodo , accompanying him to keep his promise to Gandalf to protect Frodo , while Aragorn , Legolas , and Gimli go to rescue Merry and Pippin . Cast ( edit ) Further information : Cast of The Lord of the Rings film series The eponymous Fellowship of the Ring , from left to right : ( Top row ) Aragorn , Gandalf , Legolas , Boromir , ( bottom row ) Sam , Frodo , Merry , Pippin , Gimli . Before filming began on 11 October 1999 , the principal actors trained for six weeks in sword fighting ( with Bob Anderson ) , riding and boating . Jackson hoped such activities would allow the cast to bond so chemistry would be evident on screen as well as getting them used to life in Wellington . They were also trained to pronounce Tolkien 's verses properly . After the shoot , the nine cast members playing the Fellowship got a tattoo of the English word `` nine '' written in Tengwar , with the exception of John Rhys - Davies , whose stunt double got the tattoo instead . The film is noted for having an ensemble cast , and some of the cast and their respective characters include : Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins : a young hobbit who inherits the One Ring from his uncle Bilbo . Wood was the first actor to be cast on 7 July 1999 . Wood was a fan of the book , and he sent in an audition dressed as Frodo , reading lines from the novel . Wood was selected from 150 actors who auditioned , including Jake Gyllenhaal . Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey : an Istari wizard and mentor to Frodo . Sean Connery was approached for the role , but did not understand the plot , while Patrick Stewart turned it down as he disliked the script . Before being cast , McKellen had to sort his schedule with 20th Century Fox as there was a two - month overlap with X-Men . He enjoyed playing Gandalf the Grey more than his transformed state in the next two films , and based his accent on Tolkien . Unlike his on - screen character , McKellen did not spend much time with the actors playing the Hobbits ; instead he worked with their scale doubles . Sean Astin as Samwise `` Sam '' Gamgee : a hobbit gardener and Frodo 's best friend . Astin , who had recently become a father , bonded with the 18 - year - old Wood in a protective manner , which mirrored Sam 's relationship with Frodo . Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn II Elessar : a Dúnedain ranger , the descendant of Isildur , and heir to Gondor 's throne . Daniel Day - Lewis was offered the part at the beginning of pre-production , but turned it down . Nicolas Cage also received an offer , declining because of `` family obligations '' , while Vin Diesel , a fan of the book , auditioned for Aragorn . Stuart Townsend was cast in the role , before being replaced during filming when Jackson realised he was too young . Russell Crowe was considered as a replacement , but he turned it down after taking what he thought to be a similar role in Gladiator . Day - Lewis was offered the role for a second time , but declined again . Executive Producer Mark Ordesky saw Mortensen in a play . Mortensen 's son , a fan of the book , convinced him to take the role . Mortensen read the book on the plane , received a crash course lesson in fencing from Bob Anderson and began filming the scenes on Weathertop . Mortensen became a hit with the crew by patching up his costume and carrying his `` hero '' sword around with him off - camera . Billy Boyd as Peregrin `` Pippin '' Took : a hobbit who travels with the Fellowship on their journey to Mordor . Dominic Monaghan as Meriadoc `` Merry '' Brandybuck : a distant cousin of Frodo . Monaghan was cast as Merry after auditioning for Frodo . John Rhys - Davies as Gimli : a dwarf warrior who accompanies the Fellowship to Mordor after they set out from Rivendell and a descendant of Durin 's Folk . Billy Connolly , who was considered for the part of Gimli , later portrayed Dáin II Ironfoot in Peter Jackson 's The Hobbit film trilogy . Rhys - Davies wore heavy prosthetics to play Gimli , which limited his vision , and eventually developed eczema around his eyes . Orlando Bloom as Legolas Greenleaf : a prince of the elves ' Woodland Realm and a skilled archer . Bloom initially auditioned for Faramir , who appears in the second film , a role which went to David Wenham . Sean Bean as Boromir : a prince of the Stewards of Gondor who journeys with the Fellowship towards Mordor . Bruce Willis , a fan of the book , expressed interest in the role , while Liam Neeson was sent the script , but passed . Ian Holm as Bilbo Baggins : Frodo 's uncle who gives him the Ring after he decides to retire to Rivendell . Holm previously played Frodo in a 1981 radio adaption of The Lord of the Rings , and was cast as Bilbo after Jackson remembered his performance . Sylvester McCoy , who would later play Radagast the Brown in The Hobbit , was contacted about playing the role , and was kept in place as a potential Bilbo for six months before Jackson went with Holm . Liv Tyler as Arwen Undomiel : a beautiful half - elf princess of Rivendell and Aragorn 's lover . The filmmakers approached Tyler after seeing her performance in Plunkett & Macleane , and New Line Cinema leaped at the opportunity of having one Hollywood star in the film . Actress Helena Bonham Carter had expressed interest in the role . Peter Jackson wanted to cast Uma Thurman as Arwen , but Thurman pulled out due to pregnancy , Tyler came to shoot on short occasions , unlike the rest of the actors . She was one of the last actors to be cast , on 25 August 1999 . Cate Blanchett as Galadriel : the elven co-ruler of Lothlórien alongside her husband Celeborn . Peter Jackson wanted to cast Lucy Lawless as Galadriel , but she declined due to pregnancy . Christopher Lee as Saruman the White : the fallen head of the Istari Order who succumbs to Sauron 's will through his use of the palantír. Lee was a major fan of the book , and read it once a year . He had also met J.R.R. Tolkien . He originally auditioned for Gandalf , but was judged too old . Hugo Weaving as Elrond : the elven Lord of Rivendell who leads the Council of Elrond , which ultimately decides to destroy the Ring . David Bowie expressed interest in the role , but Jackson stated , `` To have a famous , beloved character and a famous star colliding is slightly uncomfortable . '' Sala Baker as Sauron : the Dark Lord of Mordor and the Ring 's true master who manifests as an Eye after the destruction of his physical form . Originally hired as one of the several stunt performers for the film trilogy , Baker ended up landing the role . In addition , he went on to play several Orcs as well . Andy Serkis as Gollum voice and motion capture : a wretched hobbit - like creature whose mind was poisoned over centuries by the Ring . David Weatherley as Barliman Butterbur , proprietor in Bree Lawrence Makoare as Lurtz : the commander of Saruman 's Orc forces ; Marton Csokas as Celeborn : the elven co-ruler of Lothlórien alongside his wife Galadriel ; Craig Parker as Haldir : the leader of the Galadhrim warriors guarding the border of Lothlórien ; Mark Ferguson as Ereinion Gil - galad , the last Elven - King of Noldor ; Peter McKenzie as Elendil the Tall : the last High King of Arnor and Gondor ; Harry Sinclair as Isildur : Elendil 's son and Aragorn 's ancestor who originally defeated Sauron . Peter Jackson as Albert Dreary : a man of Bree . Comparison with the source material ( edit ) The inscriptions on the Ring Jackson , Walsh and Boyens made numerous changes to the story , for purposes of pacing and character development . Jackson said his main desire was to make a film focused primarily on Frodo and the Ring , the `` backbone '' of the story . The prologue condenses Tolkien 's backstory , in which The Last Alliance 's seven - year siege of the Barad - dûr is a single battle , where Sauron is shown to explode , though Tolkien only said his spirit flees . Events from the book are condensed or omitted altogether at the beginning of the film . The time between Gandalf leaving the Ring to Frodo and returning to reveal its inscription , which is 17 years in the book , is compressed for timing reasons . Frodo also spends a few months preparing to move to Buckland , on the eastern border of the Shire . This move is omitted , and associated events , including the involvement of Merry and Pippin , are changed and combined with him setting out for Bree . Characters such as Tom Bombadil and the incidents in the Old Forest and the Barrow Downs are left out to simplify the plot and increase the threat of the Ringwraiths . Such sequences are left out to make time to introduce Saruman , who does n't appear in the book until Gandalf 's account at the Council of Elrond . While some characters are left out , some are referenced such as Tom , Bert , and William to show how The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings series intertwine . Saruman 's role is enhanced : he is to blame for the blizzard on Caradhras , a role taken from Sauron and / or Caradhras itself in the book . Gandalf 's capture by Saruman is also expanded with a fight sequence . The role of Barliman Butterbur at the Prancing Pony is largely removed for time and dramatic flow . In the film Pippin is seen to identify Frodo explicitly with the phrase `` why there 's Baggins over there '' whereas in the book Pippin is only telling the tale of Bilbo 's disappearance when Strider tells Frodo to create a distraction , which he does by singing a song . The events at Weathertop were also altered . The location of the fight against the Ringwraiths was changed to the ruins on top of the hill rather than a campsite at its base . When Frodo was stabbed in the book , the party spent two weeks travelling to Rivendell , but in the film this is shortened to less than a week , with Frodo 's condition worsening at a commensurately greater rate . Arwen was given a greater role in the film , accompanying Frodo all the way to Rivendell , while in the book Frodo faced the Ringwraiths alone at the Ford of Bruinen . The character of Glorfindel was omitted entirely and his scenes were also given to Arwen . She was tacitly credited with the river rising against the Ringwraiths , which was the work of her father Elrond with aid from Gandalf in the book . A significant new addition is Aragorn 's self - doubt , which causes him to hesitate to claim the kingship of Gondor . This element is not present in the book , where Aragorn intends to claim the throne at an appropriate time . In the book Narsil is reforged immediately when he joins the Fellowship , but this event is held over until Return of the King in film to symbolically coincide with his acceptance of his title . These elements were added because Peter Jackson believed that each character should be forced to grow or change over the course of the story . Elrond 's character gained an adversarial edge ; he expresses doubts in the strength of Men to resist Sauron 's evil after Isildur 's failure to destroy the ring as depicted in the prologue. Jackson also shortens the Council of Elrond by spreading its exposition into earlier parts of the film . Elrond 's counsellor , Erestor -- who suggested the Ring be given to Tom Bombadil -- was completely absent from this scene . Gimli 's father , Glóin , was also deemed unnecessary . In addition , the movie makes it seem by chance that the Fellowship is made of nine companions , whereas in the book Elrond suggests there be nine in the fellowship in response to the nine Nazgûl . The tone of the Moria sequence was altered . In the book , following the defeat on the Caradhras road , Gandalf advocates the Moria road against the resistance of the rest of the Fellowship ( save Gimli ) , suggesting `` there is a hope that Moria is still free ... there is even a chance that Dwarves are there , '' though no one seems to think this likely . Frodo proposes they take a company vote , but the discovery of Wargs on their trail forces them to accept Gandalf 's proposal . They only realise the Dwarves are all dead once they reach Balin 's tomb . The filmmakers chose instead for Gandalf to resist the Moria plan as a foreshadowing device . Gandalf says to Gimli he would prefer not to enter Moria , and Saruman is shown to be aware of Gandalf 's hesitance , revealing an illustration of the Balrog in one of his books . The corpses of the dwarves are instantly shown as the Fellowship enter Moria . One detail that many critics commented upon is the fact that , in the novel , Pippin tosses a mere pebble into the well in Moria ( `` They then hear what sounds like a hammer tapping in the distance '' ) , whereas in the film , he knocks an entire skeleton in ( `` Next , the skeleton ... falls down the well , also dragging down a chain and bucket . The noise is incredible . '' ) In terms of dramatic structure , the book simply ends ; there is no climax , because Tolkien wrote the `` trilogy '' as a single story published in three volumes . Jackson 's version incorporates the first chapter of ' `` The Two Towers '' and makes its events , told in real time instead of flashback , simultaneous with the Breaking of the Fellowship . This finale is played as a climactic battle , into which he introduces the Uruk - hai referred to as Lurtz in the script . In the book , Boromir is unable to tell Aragorn which hobbits were kidnapped by the orcs before he dies . From there , Aragorn deduces Frodo 's intentions when he notices that a boat is missing and Sam 's pack is gone . In the film , Aragorn and Frodo have a scene together in which Frodo 's intentions are explicitly stated . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Peter Jackson began working with Christian Rivers to storyboard the series in August 1997 , as well as getting Richard Taylor and Weta Workshop to begin creating his interpretation of Middle - earth . Jackson told them to make Middle - earth as plausible and believable as possible , to think of Middle - earth in a historical manner . In November , Alan Lee and John Howe became the film trilogy 's primary conceptual designers , having had previous experience as illustrators for the book and various other tie - ins . Lee worked for the Art Department creating places such as Rivendell , Isengard , Moria and Lothlórien , giving Art Nouveau and geometry influences to the Elves and Dwarves respectively . Though Howe contributed with Bag End and the Argonath , he focused working on armour having studied it all his life . Weta and the Art Department continued to design , with Grant Major turning the Art Department 's designs into architecture , and Dan Hennah scouting locations . On 1 April 1999 , Ngila Dickson joined the crew as costume designer . She and 40 seamstresses would create 19,000 costumes , 40 per version for the actor and their doubles , ageing and wearing them out for impression of age . Filming locations ( edit ) Arwen faces the Nazgûl at the Fords of Bruinen ( Arrow River ) . Filming took place in various locations across New Zealand . A list of filming locations , sorted by appearance order in the film : Fictional location Specific location in New Zealand General area in New Zealand . Mordor ( Prologue ) Whakapapa skifield Tongariro National Park Hobbiton Matamata Waikato Gardens of Isengard Harcourt Park Upper Hutt The Shire woods Otaki Gorge Road Kapiti Coast District Bucklebury Ferry Keeling Farm , Manakau Horowhenua Forest near Bree Takaka Hill Nelson Trollshaws Waitarere Forest Horowhenua Flight to the Ford Tarras Central Otago Ford of Bruinen Arrow River , Skippers Canyon Queenstown and Arrowtown Rivendell Kaitoke Regional Park Upper Hutt Eregion Mount Olympus Nelson Dead Marshes Kepler Mire Southland Dimrill Dale Lake Alta The Remarkables Dimrill Dale Mount Owen Nelson Lothlórien Paradise Glenorchy River Anduin Upper Waiau River Fiordland National Park River Anduin Rangitikei River Rangitikei District River Anduin Poets ' Corner Upper Hutt Parth Galen Paradise Glenorchy Amon Hen Mavora Lakes , Paradise and Closeburn Southern Lakes Special Effects ( edit ) The Fellowship of the Ring makes extensive use of digital , practical and make - up special effects throughout . One noticeable illusion that appears in almost every scene involves setting a proper scale so that the characters are all the correct height . Elijah Wood , who plays Frodo , is 5 ft 6 in ( 1.68 m ) tall in real life , but the character of Frodo Baggins is barely four feet in height . Many different tricks were used to depict the hobbits ( and Gimli the Dwarf ) as being of diminutive stature . ( In a happy coincidence , John - Rhys Davies -- who played Gimli -- is as tall compared to the Hobbit actors as his character needed to be compared to theirs , so he did not need to be filmed separately as a third variation of height , and is quite taller than Orlando Bloom , who played Legolas . ) Large - and small - scale doubles were used in certain scenes , while entire duplicates of certain sets ( including Bag End in Hobbiton ) were built at two different scales , so that the characters would appear to be the appropriate size . At one point in the film , Frodo runs along a corridor in Bag End , followed by Gandalf . Elijah Wood and Ian McKellen were filmed in separate versions of the same corridor , built at two different scales , and a fast camera pan conceals the edit between the two . Forced perspective was also employed , so that it would look as though the short Hobbits were interacting with taller Men and Elves . Even the simple use of kneeling down , to the filmmakers ' surprise , turned out to be an effective method in creating the illusion . For the battle between the Last Alliance and Sauron 's forces that begins the film , an elaborate CGI animation system , called MASSIVE , was developed by Stephen Regelous ; it allowed thousands of individual animated `` characters '' in the program to act independently . This helped give the illusion of realism to the battle sequences . The `` Making of '' Lord of the Rings DVD reports some interesting initial problems : in the first execution of a battle between groups of characters , the wrong groups attacked each other . In another early demo , some of the warriors at the edge of the field could be seen running away . They were initially moving in the wrong direction , and had been programmed to keep running until they encountered an enemy . The digital creatures were important due to Jackson 's requirement of biological plausibility . Their surface was scanned from large maquettes before numerous digital details of their skeletons and muscles were added . In the case of the Balrog , Gray Horsfield created a system that copied recorded imagery of fire . Score ( edit ) Main article : The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring ( soundtrack ) See also : Music of The Lord of the Rings film series The musical score for The Lord of the Rings films was composed by Howard Shore . It was performed by the 100 - strong New Zealand Symphony Orchestra , the London Philharmonic Orchestra , the London Voices , The London Oratory School Schola , and the Maori Samoan Choir , and featured several vocal soloists . Shore wrote almost four hours of finalised music for the film ( of which just over three hours are used as underscore ) , featuring a number of non-orchestral instruments , and a large number ( 49 - 62 ) of leitmotives . Two original songs , `` Aníron '' and the end title theme `` May It Be '' , were composed and sung by Enya , who allowed her label , Reprise Records , to release the soundtrack to this and its two sequels . In addition to these songs , Shore composed `` In Dreams '' , which was sung by Edward Ross of the London Oratory School Schola . Release ( edit ) A special behind - the - scenes trailer was released in 2000 . Two teasers were shown before Spy Kids and Pearl Harbor ( film ) . The final trailer was with the television premiere of Angel , Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , and on the DVD and VHS of Rush Hour 2 . Home media ( edit ) The Fellowship of the Ring was released on VHS and DVD in August 2002 . Theatrical and extended release ( edit ) In November 2002 , an extended edition was released on VHS and DVD , with 30 minutes of new material , added special effects and music , plus 20 minutes of fan - club credits , totalling to 228 minutes . The DVD set included four commentaries and over three hours of supplementary material . In August 2006 , a limited edition of The Fellowship of the Ring was released on DVD . The set included both the film 's theatrical and extended editions on a double - sided disc along with all - new bonus material . Blu - ray edition ( edit ) The theatrical Blu - ray version of The Lord of the Rings was released in the United States in April 2010 . There were two separate sets : one with digital copies and one without . The individual Blu - ray disc of The Fellowship of the Ring was released in September 2010 with the same special features as the complete trilogy release , except there was no digital copy . The extended Blu - ray editions were released in the US in June 2011 . This version has a runtime of 238 minutes ( the extended editions include the names of all fan club members at the time of their release ; the additional 9 minutes in the Blu - ray version are because of expanded member rolls , not any additional story material ) . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) The Fellowship of the Ring was released on 19 December 2001 in 3,359 cinemas where it grossed $47.2 million on its opening weekend . The world premiere was held at the Odeon Leicester Square in London . It went on to make $314.7 million in North America and $555.9 million in the rest of the world for a worldwide total of $870.7 million . Box Office Mojo estimates that the film sold over 54 million tickets in the US in its initial theatrical run . Critical response ( edit ) The Fellowship of the Ring was acclaimed by film critics and was one of 2001 's best reviewed films . The film holds a 91 % approval rating on aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes based on 227 reviews and an average score of 8.2 / 10 . The site 's main consensus reads `` Full of eye - popping special effects , and featuring a pitch - perfect cast , The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring brings J.R.R. Tolkien 's classic to vivid life '' . The film holds a score of 92 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 34 reviews , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars and stating that while it is not `` a true visualization of Tolkien 's Middle - earth '' , it is `` a work for , and of , our times . It will be embraced , I suspect , by many Tolkien fans and take on aspects of a cult . It is a candidate for many Oscars . It is an awesome production in its daring and breadth , and there are small touches that are just right '' . USA Today also gave the film three out of four stars and wrote , `` this movie version of a beloved book should please devotees as well as the uninitiated '' . In his review for The New York Times , Elvis Mitchell wrote , `` The playful spookiness of Mr. Jackson 's direction provides a lively , light touch , a gesture that does n't normally come to mind when Tolkien 's name is mentioned '' . Entertainment Weekly magazine gave the film an `` A '' rating and Lisa Schwarzbaum wrote , `` The cast take to their roles with becoming modesty , certainly , but Jackson also makes it easy for them : His Fellowship flows , never lingering for the sake of admiring its own beauty ... Every detail of which engrossed me . I may have never turned a page of Tolkien , but I know enchantment when I see it '' . In her review for The Washington Post , Rita Kempley praised the cast , in particular , `` Mortensen , as Strider , is a revelation , not to mention downright gorgeous . And McKellen , carrying the burden of thousands of years ' worth of the fight against evil , is positively Merlinesque '' . Time magazine 's Richard Corliss praised Jackson 's work : `` His movie achieves what the best fairy tales do : the creation of an alternate world , plausible and persuasive , where the young -- and not only the young -- can lose themselves . And perhaps , in identifying with the little Hobbit that could , find their better selves '' . In his review for The Village Voice , J. Hoberman wrote , `` Peter Jackson 's adaptation is certainly successful on its own terms '' . Rolling Stone magazine 's Peter Travers wrote , `` It 's emotion that makes Fellowship stick hard in the memory ... Jackson deserves to revel in his success . He 's made a three - hour film that leaves you wanting more '' . However , in his review for The Guardian , Peter Bradshaw wrote , `` there is a strange paucity of plot complication , an absence of anything unfolding , all the more disconcerting because of the clotted and indigestible mythic back story that we have to wade through before anything happens at all '' . In CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend , cinema audiences gave the film an average grade of `` A − '' on an A+ to F scale .

5382540550150922200 | Wendy house | Wendy house - wikipedia Wendy house Jump to : navigation , search The `` Wendy house '' from Peter Pan Playhouse built at Chartwell by Winston Churchill for his children A Wendy house or playhouse is a small house for children , large enough for one or more children to enter . Size and solidity can vary from a plastic kit to something resembling a real house in a child 's size . Usually there is one room , a doorway with a window on either side , and little or no furniture other than that which the children improvise . The original was built for Wendy Darling in J.M. Barrie 's play , Peter Pan , or The Boy Who Would n't Grow Up . Wendy was shot by the Lost Boy Tootles after arriving in Neverland , so Peter Pan and the Lost Boys built a small house around her where she had fallen . It was inspired by the wash - house behind Barrie 's childhood home in Kirriemuir and first appeared in story form in The Little White Bird in which fairies build a house around Mamie Mannering -- the prototype for Wendy -- so protecting her from the cold . A prop house was created by Barrie for the first stage production of the play in 1904 . It was constructed like a tent so that it could be erected quickly during a song which Wendy starts with : I wish I had a darling house The littlest ever seen , With funny little red walls And roof of mossy green . John 's hat was used as a chimney and a slipper was used as a door knocker . Toy manufacturers soon created replicas of the stage Wendy house , which have become a standard toy found in British gardens ever since . Contents ( hide ) 1 South African usage 2 Playhouses for children around the world 3 See also 4 Notes South african usage ( edit ) In South Africa , Wendy houses are a form of accommodation for low - income people . The structure is usually erected in someone 's backyard . Although many people may view this as temporary accommodation , many families have lived in such a structure for years . It is very common among the black population in South Africa ; among the larger black population it is often constructed from corrugated iron instead of wood . The term `` wendy house '' usually refers to the wooden temporary accommodation , although there are various other types . Corrugated iron structures are called `` shacks '' , while cement board structures are called `` nutecs '' . Among the more affluent population , wendy houses are used as entertainment huts , children 's playhouses , or for storage . Playhouses for children around the world ( edit ) Astin Mansion Children 's Playhouse Haskell Playhouse Globally , the term playhouse is more generic and more common than the term Wendy house . A few online companies offer rustic , inflatable , or corrugated iron varieties : these are usually set up by the individuals directly to avoid the price increase that comes with external suppliers . Most of the online established companies set up only wooden or nutec structures . The quality of these companies varies greatly . A playhouse may become a hide - away , fort , club house in a child 's imagination or simply a place to `` play house '' in imitation of adult behavior . Treehouses or tents sometimes serve as a playhouse or secret vantage point for children . Modern Cubby House design A Cubby House is another name for playhouses . There are both indoor and outdoor children 's playhouses and manufactured kits for assembly by adults or children . A playhouse may become a hide - away or club house in a child 's imagination . Treehouses built by or for adults are often appropriated by children as a secret vantage point and may become a safety concern . See also ( edit ) Wikimedia Commons has media related to Playhouses .

5448430049200274488 | List of United States Supreme Court Justices by time in office | List of United States Supreme Court justices by time in office - wikipedia List of United States Supreme Court justices by time in office Jump to : navigation , search A total of 113 Justices have served on the Supreme Court of the United States , the highest judicial body in the United States . Justices have life tenure , and so they serve until they die in office , resign or retire , or are impeached and removed from office ( which has never happened ; the one impeached Justice was acquitted ) . Among the current members of the Court , Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy is the longest - serving justice , with a tenure of 7004110440000000000 ♠ 11,044 days ( 7004110440000000000 ♠ 30 years , 86 days ) as of May 15 , 2018 . For the 104 non-incumbent justices , the mean length of service was 6,112 days ( 16.7 years ) with a standard deviation of 3,620 days ( 9.9 years ) . The median length of service was 5,740 days ( 15.7 years ) . Their period of service ranges from William O. Douglas 's 13,358 days ( 7004133580000000000 ♠ 36 years , 209 days ) on the Court to the 163 - day tenure of Thomas Johnson . The table below ranks all United States Supreme Court Justices by time in office . The basis of the ranking is the difference between dates ; if counted by number of calendar days all the figures would be one greater , with the exception of Charles Evans Hughes and John Rutledge , who would receive two days each . The length of incumbency for the five individuals confirmed for associate justice , and later confirmed for chief justice separately -- Charles Evans Hughes , William Rehnquist , John Rutledge , Harlan F. Stone , and Edward Douglass White -- measures their cumulative length of service on the Court . A nominee who was confirmed by the United States Senate but declined to serve , such as Robert H. Harrison , or who died before taking his seat , such as Edwin M. Stanton , is not considered to have served as a Justice . Such individuals are not included . The start date given for each justice is the day he or she took the oath of office , with the end date being the date of the justice 's death , resignation , or retirement . A highlighted row indicates justice currently serving on the Court .

Christopher comforts Pooh and tells him that he will never forget him . Christopher goes to boarding school but gets reprimanded for drawing pictures of Pooh during class . Soon after this , his father dies , forcing Christopher to grow up . After entering adulthood , Christopher moves to London , meets and marries an architect named Evelyn , with whom he has a daughter named Madeline . He serves in the British Army during World War II . After the war , he works as an efficiency expert at Winslow Luggages . He neglects his family due to his demanding job and plans on sending Madeline to boarding school as well . With the company hitting hard times , Christopher 's boss , Giles Winslow Jr. tells Christopher to decrease expenditures by 20 % , largely by choosing which employees to lay off , and to present his plan on Monday . This causes Christopher to reluctantly miss joining his family at their countryside cottage in Sussex for a summer - ending weekend . Meanwhile , Pooh awakens and is unable to find his friends , so he decides to travel through Christopher 's door and finds himself in London . He reunites with Christopher , who is shocked to see Pooh , but takes him back to his home . After a night and morning of chaos ( including Pooh knocking down all of his kitchen shelves in search of honey ) , Christopher escorts Pooh back to Sussex on the next train . After sneaking past Christopher 's cottage , the two enter the Hundred Acre Wood . Christopher becomes exasperated by Pooh 's absent - mindedness and fear of Heffalumps and Woozles , and angrily tells Pooh that he is not a child anymore , before the two get separated in the fog . After falling into a `` Heffalump Trap '' , which is then flooded by rainfall , soaking him and his belongings , Christopher discovers Eeyore and Piglet , who lead him to the others , hiding in a log out of fear of a Heffalump . Unable to persuade his friends that he is truly Christopher Robin , he pretends to defeat a Heffalump to convince them . Finally realising that he is Christopher Robin , they joyfully greet him . When they reunite with Pooh at their meeting spot , Christopher apologizes for getting upset earlier . Christopher tells Pooh how lost he feels , but Pooh reminds him that they have found each other and comforts him with a hug . The next morning , Christopher , realising how late he is , rushes from the Hundred Acre Wood to make his presentation . He encounters his family and , unable to tell them about his old friends in the Hundred Acre Wood , leaves . Pooh discovers that Tigger removed Christopher 's important paperwork when drying his briefcase , so Pooh , Tigger , Piglet and Eeyore decide to travel to London to give it back . They meet Madeline , who recognizes them from her father 's drawings . She joins them , wanting to dissuade her father about boarding school ; Evelyn follows after discovering a note Madeline left . At the meeting , Christopher discovers that his papers are not in his briefcase , which contains objects from the woods that Tigger left for him , including Eeyore 's detachable tail . Evelyn arrives and Christopher joins her to search for Madeline . Madeline 's group stow away in Winslow company crates , but Tigger , Eeyore and Piglet are accidentally thrown out , and they encounter Christopher and Evelyn in the process . Madeline and Pooh arrive near the Winslow building and reunite with Christopher 's group , but Madeline accidentally trips on the stairs and loses all but one of the papers , upsetting her and Pooh . Christopher assures Madeline of her importance to him and that he will not send her to boarding school . Christopher improvises a plan involving reducing the prices of luggage , giving employees paid leave , and selling their luggage to everyday people to increase demand . Winslow Jr. dismisses the idea , but his father , Winslow Sr. warms to it and agrees to the plan . Winslow Jr. is humiliated when it is discovered that he contributed nothing to the plan , having been golfing all weekend . Christopher later takes his family into the Hundred Acre Wood to meet the rest of his friends . He and Pooh then share a tender moment at their special spot together . In a mid-credits scene , the employees of Winslow 's are seen having fun at the beach while Richard M. Sherman performs `` Busy Doing Nothing '' on a piano . Pooh , Piglet , Eeyore and Tigger are relaxing on beach chairs with Eeyore saying `` Thank you for noticing me '' .

Release ( edit ) Christopher Robin premiered in Burbank , California on July 30 , 2018 , and was released on August 3 , 2018 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures .

Marketing ( edit ) The first teaser poster of the film was released on March 5 , 2018 , and the first teaser trailer was unveiled the following day . On May 24 , 2018 , it was announced that the full trailer would premiere the following day during McGregor 's appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show . Home Media ( edit ) Christopher Robin will be released on DVD , Blu - ray , and Ultra HD Blu - ray on November 6 , 2018 . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) As of October 28 , 2018 , Christopher Robin has grossed $98.8 million in the United States and Canada , and $94.6 million in other territories , for a total worldwide gross of $193.5 million . In the United States and Canada , Christopher Robin was released alongside The Spy Who Dumped Me , The Darkest Minds , and Death of a Nation : Can We Save America a Second Time ? . The film made $9.5 million on its first day , including $1.5 million from Thursday night previews . It went on to debut to $24.6 million , finishing second at the box office behind holdover Mission : Impossible -- Fallout . The film fell 47 % to $13 million in its second weekend , finishing third behind The Meg and Mission : Impossible -- Fallout . The film finished sixth in its third through fifth weekends , grossing $8.9 million , $6.3 million , and $5.3 million , respectively . Critical response ( edit ) On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 71 % based on 219 reviews , with an average rating of 6.1 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Christopher Robin may not equal A.A. Milne 's stories -- or their animated Disney adaptations -- but it should prove sweet enough for audiences seeking a little childhood magic . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 60 out of 100 , based on 43 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale , while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars . Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times reviewed the film this way : `` Once Christopher Robin softens its insufferable , needlessly cynical conception of the title character , it offers more or less what a Pooh reboot should : a lot of nostalgia , a bit of humor and tactile computer animation . '' And David Sims of The Atlantic wrote , `` It 's an odd , melancholic experience that at times recalls Terrence Malick as it does A.A. Milne , but there will certainly be some viewers in its exact wheelhouse . '' Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and said , `` Pooh 's wisdom and kindness can not be denied . The same impulses worked for the two Paddington movies , God knows . Christopher Robin is n't quite in their league , but it 's affecting nonetheless . '' Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair gave the film a positive review and heavily praised the voice performance from Cummings , calling it `` Oscar - worthy '' . Overall , he said , `` As Winnie the Pooh ( and Tigger too ) , the veteran voice actor gives such sweet , rumpled , affable life to the wistful bear of literary renown that it routinely breaks the heart . Cummings 's performance understands something more keenly than the movie around it ; he taps into a vein of humor and melancholy that is pitched at an exact frequency , one that will speak to child and adult alike . His Pooh is an agreeable nuisance and an accidental philosopher , delivering nonsensical ( and yet entirely sensible ) adages in a friendly , deliberate murmur ringed faintly with sadness . I wanted to ( gently ) yank him from the screen and take him home with me , his fuzzy little paw in mine as we ambled to the subway , the summer sun fading behind us . He 's a good bear , this Pooh . '' Conversely , Alonso Duralde of TheWrap called the film `` slow and charmless '' and wrote , `` What we 're left with is a Hook - style mid-life crisis movie aimed at kids , designed to shame parents who spend too much time at the office and not enough with their families . '' Helen O'Hara of Empire magazine gave the film a 2 out of 5 stars and said `` Everyone 's trying hard , but they ca n't quite live up to the particularly gentle , warm tone of Pooh himself . Unlike the bear of very little brain , this is a film pulled in different directions with entirely too many thoughts in its head '' . The performance of Ewan McGregor as Christopher Robin was particularly well received . David Fear of Rolling Stone said , `` He 's an actor who can roll with this movie 's punches , whether it requires him to be light on his feet or dragged down by existential despair , exhilarated by childlike play or exasperated by a house - wrecking creature who says things like , ' People say nothing is impossible , but I do nothing every day ' . '' Adam Forsgren for East Idaho News wrote , `` First and foremost is McGregor 's performance in the title role . The guy sells being the put - upon , overburdened office drone so well that it 's a treat to see him begin to rediscover his younger self and let himself play ... McGregor is the glue that holds this whole movie together . '' Stephanie Zacharek of Time magazine stated , `` But it 's doubtful the movie would work at all if not for McGregor : He turns Christopher 's anxiety into a haunting presence , the kind of storm cloud that we can all , now and then , feel hovering above us . Yet McGregor is also an actor capable of expressing unalloyed delight . And when , as Christopher Robin , he finally does , some of that delight rubs off on us too . '' Brian Lowry also noted in his review for CNN , `` Give much of the credit to McGregor in the thankless task of playing opposite his adorably furry co-stars , ably handling the comedy derived from the fact that he does n't dare let others see them .

It was released in September 1983 as a single from Benatar 's live album Live from Earth , though the song itself was a studio recording . The song was ranked at number 30 in VH1 's list of the 100 Greatest Songs of the 1980s . `` Love is a Battlefield '' went on to sell over a million records . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Music video 3 Charts 3.1 Original version 3.2 Re-release UK ( 1985 ) 3.3 Year - end charts 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Background ( edit ) Holly Knight and Mike Chapman wrote this song for Pat Benatar initially as a ballad with a beautiful melody and moving chord changes . After some exploration with drum machines and the band , Neil Giraldo decided to make this an uptempo song . The single was Benatar 's second American million seller and is tied with `` We Belong '' as her highest charting single in the United States . It topped Billboard 's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for four weeks and peaked at # 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1983 . It hit # 1 on the Australian singles chart in February 1984 and remained there for five weeks , becoming the 11th biggest selling single of the year . The song was re-released in the United Kingdom in March 1985 and reached # 17 . It was awarded a Gold certification in Canada as well . The song was featured in the television series Psych . In the television series Drop Dead Diva the song is performed by the actresses Brooke Elliott and Faith Prince . It was also featured in the film 13 Going on 30 , where `` love is a battlefield '' is the mantra of the main character Jenna Rink , played by Jennifer Garner . The song in the Kay Gee Remix version , featuring Kay Gee and Queen Latifah , is on the end credits of the 1998 film , Small Soldiers . The single was unlike most of Benatar 's previous work , as it featured an electronic dance element , but guitars and drums were still present . In 1984 , the song won Benatar her fourth consecutive Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance . Music video ( edit ) The music video features Benatar playing a rebellious teenage girl running away from her home with her abusive father ( played by actor Trey Wilson ) warning her , `` If you leave this house now , you can just forget about coming back ! '' Her mother looks on helplessly and her brother ( played by actor Philip Cruise ) watches sadly from an upper - story window . She later becomes a taxi dancer at a very seedy club to get by in the city , outwardly New York . She writes to her little brother , telling him about her exciting new life and her father seems to feel guilty about being angry at her . Later in the video , she witnesses a pimp ( played by actor Gary Chryst ) harassing another dancer . Benatar rounds up the girls and leads a rebellion against him . As the pimp is cornered by the girls against his will , he tries to seduce Benatar only to have her throw a drink in his face . Angered by this , he tries once again to assault her but Benatar and the girls overpower and defeat the pimp , then storm out of the club dancing into the sunrise before bidding goodbye to one another , thanking Benatar for their escape . The girls escape and strike out on their own and Benatar walks into the sunrise . The final scene shows Benatar sitting in the back of a bus headed for an unknown destination . The video was choreographed by Michael Peters , who appears briefly in the video . A special remix of the song is used , which was created specifically for the video . It differs slightly in structure and instrumentation , and aside from appearing in the video , has never been commercially released . The video was the first ever to feature the use of dialogue . The scenes featuring dialogue include the opening scene of Benatar stomping out of the house while being berated by her father and the scene featuring the pimp harassing the female dancer in which she shouts `` Leave me alone ! '' The video was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video and is contained on the DVD for the movie 13 Going on 30 .

Wilson , 1900 ) A eukaryotic cell ( left ) and prokaryotic cell ( right ) Identifiers MeSH D002477 TH H1. 00.01. 0.00001 FMA 68646 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) Structure of an animal cell The cell ( from Latin cella , meaning `` small room '' ) is the basic structural , functional , and biological unit of all known living organisms . A cell is the smallest unit of life that can replicate independently , and cells are often called the `` building blocks of life '' . The study of cells is called cell biology . Cells consist of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane , which contains many biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids . Organisms can be classified as unicellular ( consisting of a single cell ; including bacteria ) or multicellular ( including plants and animals ) . While the number of cells in plants and animals varies from species to species , humans contain more than 10 trillion ( 10 ) cells . Most plant and animal cells are visible only under a microscope , with dimensions between 1 and 100 micrometres . The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665 , who named the biological units for their resemblance to cells inhabited by Christian monks in a monastery . Cell theory , first developed in 1839 by Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann , states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells , that cells are the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms , that all cells come from preexisting cells , and that all cells contain the hereditary information necessary for regulating cell functions and for transmitting information to the next generation of cells . Cells emerged on Earth at least 3.5 billion years ago .

Prokaryotes are single - celled organisms , while eukaryotes can be either single - celled or multicellular . Prokaryotic cells Main article : Prokaryote Structure of a typical prokaryotic cell Prokaryotic cells were the first form of life on Earth , characterised by having vital biological processes including cell signaling and being self - sustaining . They are simpler and smaller than eukaryotic cells , and lack membrane - bound organelles such as the nucleus . Prokaryotes include two of the three domains of life , bacteria and archaea . The DNA of a prokaryotic cell consists of a single chromosome that is in direct contact with the cytoplasm . The nuclear region in the cytoplasm is called the nucleoid . Most prokaryotes are the smallest of all organisms ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 μm in diameter . A prokaryotic cell has three architectural regions : Enclosing the cell is the cell envelope -- generally consisting of a plasma membrane covered by a cell wall which , for some bacteria , may be further covered by a third layer called a capsule . Though most prokaryotes have both a cell membrane and a cell wall , there are exceptions such as Mycoplasma ( bacteria ) and Thermoplasma ( archaea ) which only possess the cell membrane layer . The envelope gives rigidity to the cell and separates the interior of the cell from its environment , serving as a protective filter . The cell wall consists of peptidoglycan in bacteria , and acts as an additional barrier against exterior forces . It also prevents the cell from expanding and bursting ( cytolysis ) from osmotic pressure due to a hypotonic environment . Some eukaryotic cells ( plant cells and fungal cells ) also have a cell wall . Inside the cell is the cytoplasmic region that contains the genome ( DNA ) , ribosomes and various sorts of inclusions . The genetic material is freely found in the cytoplasm . Prokaryotes can carry extrachromosomal DNA elements called plasmids , which are usually circular . Linear bacterial plasmids have been identified in several species of spirochete bacteria , including members of the genus Borrelia notably Borrelia burgdorferi , which causes Lyme disease . Though not forming a nucleus , the DNA is condensed in a nucleoid . Plasmids encode additional genes , such as antibiotic resistance genes . On the outside , flagella and pili project from the cell 's surface . These are structures ( not present in all prokaryotes ) made of proteins that facilitate movement and communication between cells . Eukaryotic cells Main article : Eukaryote Structure of a typical animal cell Structure of a typical plant cell Plants , animals , fungi , slime moulds , protozoa , and algae are all eukaryotic . These cells are about fifteen times wider than a typical prokaryote and can be as much as a thousand times greater in volume . The main distinguishing feature of eukaryotes as compared to prokaryotes is compartmentalization : the presence of membrane - bound organelles ( compartments ) in which specific metabolic activities take place . Most important among these is a cell nucleus , an organelle that houses the cell 's DNA . This nucleus gives the eukaryote its name , which means `` true kernel ( nucleus ) '' . Other differences include : The plasma membrane resembles that of prokaryotes in function , with minor differences in the setup . Cell walls may or may not be present . The eukaryotic DNA is organized in one or more linear molecules , called chromosomes , which are associated with histone proteins . All chromosomal DNA is stored in the cell nucleus , separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane . Some eukaryotic organelles such as mitochondria also contain some DNA . Many eukaryotic cells are ciliated with primary cilia . Primary cilia play important roles in chemosensation , mechanosensation , and thermosensation . Cilia may thus be `` viewed as a sensory cellular antennae that coordinates a large number of cellular signaling pathways , sometimes coupling the signaling to ciliary motility or alternatively to cell division and differentiation . '' Motile cells of eukaryotes can move using motile cilia or flagella . Motile cells are absent in conifers and flowering plants . Eukaryotic flagella are less complex than those of prokaryotes . Subcellular components All cells , whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic , have a membrane that envelops the cell , regulates what moves in and out ( selectively permeable ) , and maintains the electric potential of the cell . Inside the membrane , the cytoplasm takes up most of the cell 's volume . All cells ( except red blood cells which lack a cell nucleus and most organelles to accommodate maximum space for hemoglobin ) possess DNA , the hereditary material of genes , and RNA , containing the information necessary to build various proteins such as enzymes , the cell 's primary machinery . There are also other kinds of biomolecules in cells . This article lists these primary cellular components , then briefly describes their function . Membrane Main article : Cell membrane Detailed diagram of lipid bilayer cell membrane The cell membrane , or plasma membrane , is a biological membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell . In animals , the plasma membrane is the outer boundary of the cell , while in plants and prokaryotes it is usually covered by a cell wall . This membrane serves to separate and protect a cell from its surrounding environment and is made mostly from a double layer of phospholipids , which are amphiphilic ( partly hydrophobic and partly hydrophilic ) . Hence , the layer is called a phospholipid bilayer , or sometimes a fluid mosaic membrane . Embedded within this membrane is a variety of protein molecules that act as channels and pumps that move different molecules into and out of the cell . The membrane is semi-permeable , and selectively permeable , in that it can either let a substance ( molecule or ion ) pass through freely , pass through to a limited extent or not pass through at all . Cell surface membranes also contain receptor proteins that allow cells to detect external signaling molecules such as hormones . Cytoskeleton Main article : Cytoskeleton A fluorescent image of an endothelial cell . Nuclei are stained blue , mitochondria are stained red , and microfilaments are stained green . The cytoskeleton acts to organize and maintain the cell 's shape ; anchors organelles in place ; helps during endocytosis , the uptake of external materials by a cell , and cytokinesis , the separation of daughter cells after cell division ; and moves parts of the cell in processes of growth and mobility . The eukaryotic cytoskeleton is composed of microfilaments , intermediate filaments and microtubules . There are a great number of proteins associated with them , each controlling a cell 's structure by directing , bundling , and aligning filaments . The prokaryotic cytoskeleton is less well - studied but is involved in the maintenance of cell shape , polarity and cytokinesis . The subunit protein of microfilaments is a small , monomeric protein called actin . The subunit of microtubules is a dimeric molecule called tubulin . Intermediate filaments are heteropolymers whose subunits vary among the cell types in different tissues . But some of the subunit protein of intermediate filaments include vimentin , desmin , lamin ( lamins A , B and C ) , keratin ( multiple acidic and basic keratins ) , neurofilament proteins ( NF -- L , NF -- M ) . Genetic material Two different kinds of genetic material exist : deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ) and ribonucleic acid ( RNA ) . Cells use DNA for their long - term information storage . The biological information contained in an organism is encoded in its DNA sequence . RNA is used for information transport ( e.g. , mRNA ) and enzymatic functions ( e.g. , ribosomal RNA ) . Transfer RNA ( tRNA ) molecules are used to add amino acids during protein translation . Prokaryotic genetic material is organized in a simple circular DNA molecule ( the bacterial chromosome ) in the nucleoid region of the cytoplasm . Eukaryotic genetic material is divided into different , linear molecules called chromosomes inside a discrete nucleus , usually with additional genetic material in some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts ( see endosymbiotic theory ) . A human cell has genetic material contained in the cell nucleus ( the nuclear genome ) and in the mitochondria ( the mitochondrial genome ) . In humans the nuclear genome is divided into 46 linear DNA molecules called chromosomes , including 22 homologous chromosome pairs and a pair of sex chromosomes . The mitochondrial genome is a circular DNA molecule distinct from the nuclear DNA . Although the mitochondrial DNA is very small compared to nuclear chromosomes , it codes for 13 proteins involved in mitochondrial energy production and specific tRNAs . Foreign genetic material ( most commonly DNA ) can also be artificially introduced into the cell by a process called transfection . This can be transient , if the DNA is not inserted into the cell 's genome , or stable , if it is . Certain viruses also insert their genetic material into the genome . Organelles Main article : Organelle Organelles are parts of the cell which are adapted and / or specialized for carrying out one or more vital functions , analogous to the organs of the human body ( such as the heart , lung , and kidney , with each organ performing a different function ) . Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have organelles , but prokaryotic organelles are generally simpler and are not membrane - bound . There are several types of organelles in a cell . Some ( such as the nucleus and golgi apparatus ) are typically solitary , while others ( such as mitochondria , chloroplasts , peroxisomes and lysosomes ) can be numerous ( hundreds to thousands ) . The cytosol is the gelatinous fluid that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles . Eukaryotic Human cancer cells , specifically HeLa cells , with DNA stained blue . The central and rightmost cell are in interphase , so their DNA is diffuse and the entire nuclei are labelled . The cell on the left is going through mitosis and its chromosomes have condensed . Cell nucleus : A cell 's information center , the cell nucleus is the most conspicuous organelle found in a eukaryotic cell . It houses the cell 's chromosomes , and is the place where almost all DNA replication and RNA synthesis ( transcription ) occur . The nucleus is spherical and separated from the cytoplasm by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope . The nuclear envelope isolates and protects a cell 's DNA from various molecules that could accidentally damage its structure or interfere with its processing . During processing , DNA is transcribed , or copied into a special RNA , called messenger RNA ( mRNA ) . This mRNA is then transported out of the nucleus , where it is translated into a specific protein molecule . The nucleolus is a specialized region within the nucleus where ribosome subunits are assembled . In prokaryotes , DNA processing takes place in the cytoplasm . Mitochondria and Chloroplasts : generate energy for the cell . Mitochondria are self - replicating organelles that occur in various numbers , shapes , and sizes in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells . Respiration occurs in the cell mitochondria , which generate the cell 's energy by oxidative phosphorylation , using oxygen to release energy stored in cellular nutrients ( typically pertaining to glucose ) to generate ATP . Mitochondria multiply by binary fission , like prokaryotes . Chloroplasts can only be found in plants and algae , and they capture the sun 's energy to make carbohydrates through photosynthesis . Diagram of an endomembrane system Endoplasmic reticulum : The endoplasmic reticulum ( ER ) is a transport network for molecules targeted for certain modifications and specific destinations , as compared to molecules that float freely in the cytoplasm . The ER has two forms : the rough ER , which has ribosomes on its surface that secrete proteins into the ER , and the smooth ER , which lacks ribosomes . The smooth ER plays a role in calcium sequestration and release . Golgi apparatus : The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to process and package the macromolecules such as proteins and lipids that are synthesized by the cell . Lysosomes and Peroxisomes : Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes ( acid hydrolases ) . They digest excess or worn - out organelles , food particles , and engulfed viruses or bacteria . Peroxisomes have enzymes that rid the cell of toxic peroxides . The cell could not house these destructive enzymes if they were not contained in a membrane - bound system . Centrosome : the cytoskeleton organiser : The centrosome produces the microtubules of a cell -- a key component of the cytoskeleton . It directs the transport through the ER and the Golgi apparatus . Centrosomes are composed of two centrioles , which separate during cell division and help in the formation of the mitotic spindle . A single centrosome is present in the animal cells . They are also found in some fungi and algae cells . Vacuoles : Vacuoles sequester waste products and in plant cells store water . They are often described as liquid filled space and are surrounded by a membrane . Some cells , most notably Amoeba , have contractile vacuoles , which can pump water out of the cell if there is too much water . The vacuoles of plant cells and fungal cells are usually larger than those of animal cells . Eukaryotic and prokaryotic Ribosomes : The ribosome is a large complex of RNA and protein molecules . They each consist of two subunits , and act as an assembly line where RNA from the nucleus is used to synthesise proteins from amino acids . Ribosomes can be found either floating freely or bound to a membrane ( the rough endoplasmatic reticulum in eukaryotes , or the cell membrane in prokaryotes ) . Structures outside the cell membrane Many cells also have structures which exist wholly or partially outside the cell membrane . These structures are notable because they are not protected from the external environment by the semipermeable cell membrane . In order to assemble these structures , their components must be carried across the cell membrane by export processes . Cell wall Many types of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a cell wall . The cell wall acts to protect the cell mechanically and chemically from its environment , and is an additional layer of protection to the cell membrane . Different types of cell have cell walls made up of different materials ; plant cell walls are primarily made up of cellulose , fungi cell walls are made up of chitin and bacteria cell walls are made up of peptidoglycan . Prokaryotic Capsule A gelatinous capsule is present in some bacteria outside the cell membrane and cell wall . The capsule may be polysaccharide as in pneumococci , meningococci or polypeptide as Bacillus anthracis or hyaluronic acid as in streptococci . Capsules are not marked by normal staining protocols and can be detected by India ink or methyl blue ; which allows for higher contrast between the cells for observation . Flagella Flagella are organelles for cellular mobility . The bacterial flagellum stretches from cytoplasm through the cell membrane ( s ) and extrudes through the cell wall . They are long and thick thread - like appendages , protein in nature . A different type of flagellum is found in archaea and a different type is found in eukaryotes . Fimbria A fimbria also known as a pilus is a short , thin , hair - like filament found on the surface of bacteria . Fimbriae , or pili are formed of a protein called pilin ( antigenic ) and are responsible for attachment of bacteria to specific receptors of human cell ( cell adhesion ) . There are special types of specific pili involved in bacterial conjugation . Cellular processes Growth and metabolism Main articles : Cell growth and Metabolism Between successive cell divisions , cells grow through the functioning of cellular metabolism . Cell metabolism is the process by which individual cells process nutrient molecules . Metabolism has two distinct divisions : catabolism , in which the cell breaks down complex molecules to produce energy and reducing power , and anabolism , in which the cell uses energy and reducing power to construct complex molecules and perform other biological functions . Complex sugars consumed by the organism can be broken down into simpler sugar molecules called monosaccharides such as glucose . Once inside the cell , glucose is broken down to make adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) , a molecule that possesses readily available energy , through two different pathways . Replication Bacteria divide by binary fission , while eukaryotes divide by mitosis or meiosis . Main article : Cell division Cell division involves a single cell ( called a mother cell ) dividing into two daughter cells . This leads to growth in multicellular organisms ( the growth of tissue ) and to procreation ( vegetative reproduction ) in unicellular organisms . Prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission , while eukaryotic cells usually undergo a process of nuclear division , called mitosis , followed by division of the cell , called cytokinesis . A diploid cell may also undergo meiosis to produce haploid cells , usually four . Haploid cells serve as gametes in multicellular organisms , fusing to form new diploid cells . DNA replication , or the process of duplicating a cell 's genome , always happens when a cell divides through mitosis or binary fission . This occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle . In meiosis , the DNA is replicated only once , while the cell divides twice . DNA replication only occurs before meiosis I. DNA replication does not occur when the cells divide the second time , in meiosis II . Replication , like all cellular activities , requires specialized proteins for carrying out the job . Protein synthesis An overview of protein synthesis . Within the nucleus of the cell ( light blue ) , genes ( DNA , dark blue ) are transcribed into RNA . This RNA is then subject to post-transcriptional modification and control , resulting in a mature mRNA ( red ) that is then transported out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm ( peach ) , where it undergoes translation into a protein . mRNA is translated by ribosomes ( purple ) that match the three - base codons of the mRNA to the three - base anti-codons of the appropriate tRNA . Newly synthesized proteins ( black ) are often further modified , such as by binding to an effector molecule ( orange ) , to become fully active . Main article : Protein biosynthesis Cells are capable of synthesizing new proteins , which are essential for the modulation and maintenance of cellular activities . This process involves the formation of new protein molecules from amino acid building blocks based on information encoded in DNA / RNA . Protein synthesis generally consists of two major steps : transcription and translation . Transcription is the process where genetic information in DNA is used to produce a complementary RNA strand . This RNA strand is then processed to give messenger RNA ( mRNA ) , which is free to migrate through the cell . mRNA molecules bind to protein - RNA complexes called ribosomes located in the cytosol , where they are translated into polypeptide sequences . The ribosome mediates the formation of a polypeptide sequence based on the mRNA sequence . The mRNA sequence directly relates to the polypeptide sequence by binding to transfer RNA ( tRNA ) adapter molecules in binding pockets within the ribosome . The new polypeptide then folds into a functional three - dimensional protein molecule . Motility Main article : Motility Unicellular organisms can move in order to find food or escape predators . Common mechanisms of motion include flagella and cilia . In multicellular organisms , cells can move during processes such as wound healing , the immune response and cancer metastasis . For example , in wound healing in animals , white blood cells move to the wound site to kill the microorganisms that cause infection . Cell motility involves many receptors , crosslinking , bundling , binding , adhesion , motor and other proteins . The process is divided into three steps -- protrusion of the leading edge of the cell , adhesion of the leading edge and de-adhesion at the cell body and rear , and cytoskeletal contraction to pull the cell forward . Each step is driven by physical forces generated by unique segments of the cytoskeleton . Multicellularity Main article : Multicellular organism Cell specialization Staining of a Caenorhabditis elegans which highlights the nuclei of its cells . Multicellular organisms are organisms that consist of more than one cell , in contrast to single - celled organisms . In complex multicellular organisms , cells specialize into different cell types that are adapted to particular functions . In mammals , major cell types include skin cells , muscle cells , neurons , blood cells , fibroblasts , stem cells , and others . Cell types differ both in appearance and function , yet are genetically identical . Cells are able to be of the same genotype but of different cell type due to the differential expression of the genes they contain . Most distinct cell types arise from a single totipotent cell , called a zygote , that differentiates into hundreds of different cell types during the course of development . Differentiation of cells is driven by different environmental cues ( such as cell -- cell interaction ) and intrinsic differences ( such as those caused by the uneven distribution of molecules during division ) . Origin of multicellularity Multicellularity has evolved independently at least 25 times , including in some prokaryotes , like cyanobacteria , myxobacteria , actinomycetes , Magnetoglobus multicellularis or Methanosarcina . However , complex multicellular organisms evolved only in six eukaryotic groups : animals , fungi , brown algae , red algae , green algae , and plants . It evolved repeatedly for plants ( Chloroplastida ) , once or twice for animals , once for brown algae , and perhaps several times for fungi , slime molds , and red algae . Multicellularity may have evolved from colonies of interdependent organisms , from cellularization , or from organisms in symbiotic relationships . The first evidence of multicellularity is from cyanobacteria - like organisms that lived between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago . Other early fossils of multicellular organisms include the contested Grypania spiralis and the fossils of the black shales of the Palaeoproterozoic Francevillian Group Fossil B Formation in Gabon . The evolution of multicellularity from unicellular ancestors has been replicated in the laboratory , in evolution experiments using predation as the selective pressure . Origins Main article : Evolutionary history of life The origin of cells has to do with the origin of life , which began the history of life on Earth . Origin of the first cell Stromatolites are left behind by cyanobacteria , also called blue - green algae . They are the oldest known fossils of life on Earth . This one - billion - year - old fossil is from Glacier National Park in the United States . Further information : Abiogenesis and Evolution of cells There are several theories about the origin of small molecules that led to life on the early Earth . They may have been carried to Earth on meteorites ( see Murchison meteorite ) , created at deep - sea vents , or synthesized by lightning in a reducing atmosphere ( see Miller -- Urey experiment ) . There is little experimental data defining what the first self - replicating forms were . RNA is thought to be the earliest self - replicating molecule , as it is capable of both storing genetic information and catalyzing chemical reactions ( see RNA world hypothesis ) , but some other entity with the potential to self - replicate could have preceded RNA , such as clay or peptide nucleic acid . Cells emerged at least 3.5 billion years ago . The current belief is that these cells were heterotrophs . The early cell membranes were probably more simple and permeable than modern ones , with only a single fatty acid chain per lipid . Lipids are known to spontaneously form bilayered vesicles in water , and could have preceded RNA , but the first cell membranes could also have been produced by catalytic RNA , or even have required structural proteins before they could form . Origin of eukaryotic cells Further information : Evolution of sexual reproduction The eukaryotic cell seems to have evolved from a symbiotic community of prokaryotic cells . DNA - bearing organelles like the mitochondria and the chloroplasts are descended from ancient symbiotic oxygen - breathing proteobacteria and cyanobacteria , respectively , which were endosymbiosed by an ancestral archaean prokaryote . There is still considerable debate about whether organelles like the hydrogenosome predated the origin of mitochondria , or vice versa : see the hydrogen hypothesis for the origin of eukaryotic cells . History of research Main article : Cell theory Hooke 's drawing of cells in cork , 1665 1632 -- 1723 : Antonie van Leeuwenhoek teaches himself to make lenses , constructs basic optical microscopes and draws protozoa , such as Vorticella from rain water , and bacteria from his own mouth . 1665 : Robert Hooke discovers cells in cork , then in living plant tissue using an early compound microscope . He coins the term cell ( from Latin cella , meaning `` small room '' ) in his book Micrographia ( 1665 ) . 1839 : Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden elucidate the principle that plants and animals are made of cells , concluding that cells are a common unit of structure and development , and thus founding the cell theory . 1855 : Rudolf Virchow states that new cells come from pre-existing cells by cell division ( omnis cellula ex cellula ) . 1859 : The belief that life forms can occur spontaneously ( generatio spontanea ) is contradicted by Louis Pasteur ( 1822 -- 1895 ) ( although Francesco Redi had performed an experiment in 1668 that suggested the same conclusion ) . 1931 : Ernst Ruska builds the first transmission electron microscope ( TEM ) at the University of Berlin . By 1935 , he has built an EM with twice the resolution of a light microscope , revealing previously unresolvable organelles . 1953 : Watson and Crick made their first announcement on the double helix structure of DNA on February 28 . 1981 : Lynn Margulis published Symbiosis in Cell Evolution detailing the endosymbiotic theory .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( June 2007 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) This article needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( November 2017 ) This history of Las Vegas covers both the city of Las Vegas , Nevada , and the Las Vegas Valley . Southern Paiutes at Moapa wearing traditional Paiute cradleboard and rabbit robe The name Las Vegas was given to the area in 1821 by Rafael Rivera , a member of the Antonio Armijo trading party that was traveling to Los Angeles , and stopped for water there on the Old Spanish Trail from New Mexico . At that time , several parts of the valley contained artesian wells surrounded by extensive green areas ; Las Vegas means the meadows in Spanish . The flows from the wells fed the Las Vegas Wash , which runs to the Colorado River . Urbanisation began in 1902 , when a railroad linking Los Angeles and Salt Lake City attracted many farmers to the area , and fresh water was piped into the settlement . In 1911 , the city was incorporated as part of Clark County . In 1931 work started on the Boulder Dam ( now the Hoover Dam ) , bringing a huge influx of young male workers , for whom theatres and casinos were built , largely by the Mafia . Electricity from the dam also enabled the building of many new hotels along the Strip . The arrival of Howard Hughes in 1966 did much to offset mob influence , and helped turn Las Vegas into more of a family tourist centre , now classified as a Megaresort .

The rivers that created the marsh eventually went underground , and the marsh receded . The valley then evolved into a parched , arid landscape that only supported the hardiest animals and plants . At some point in the valley 's early geologic history , the water resurfaced and flowed into what is now the Colorado River . This created a luxurious plant life , forming a wetland oasis in the Mojave Desert landscape . Evidence of prehistoric life in Las Vegas Valley was found in 1993 , when a group of construction workers discovered the remains of a Columbian mammoth . Palaeontologists estimate that the mammoth roamed the area some 8,000 to 15,000 years ago . Native Americans lived in the Las Vegas Valley , beginning over 10,000 years ago . Archaeologists have discovered baskets , petroglyphs , pictographs and other evidence in diverse locations , including Gypsum Cave and Tule Springs . Paiutes moved into the area as early as AD 700 , migrating between nearby mountains in the summer and spending winter in the valley , near Big Springs . 1829 -- 1905 : origins ( edit ) A trade caravan of 60 men led by the Mexican merchant Antonio Armijo was charged with establishing a trade route to Los Angeles . Las Vegas was named by Mexicans in the Antonio Armijo party . By following the Pike and Smith routes through a tributary of Colorado River they came upon the Las Vegas Valley , described by Smith as the best point to re-supply before going onto California . The travelers named the area `` Las Vegas '' which is Spanish for `` The Meadows '' . John C. Frémont traveled into the Las Vegas Valley on May 3 , 1844 , while it was still part of Mexico . He was appointed by President John Tyler to lead a group of scientists , scouts , and spies for the United States Army Corps of Engineers who were preparing for a possible war with Mexico . Upon arriving in the valley they made camp at the Las Vegas Springs , establishing a clandestine fort there . A war with Mexico did occur , resulting in the region becoming United States territory . The fort was used in later years by travellers , mountain men , hunters , and traders seeking shelter , but was never permanently inhabited . In 1855 , William Bringhurst led a group of 29 Mormon missionaries from Utah to the Las Vegas Valley . The missionaries built a 150 - square - foot ( 14 m ) adobe fort near a creek and used flood irrigation to water their crops , a process still used at the park . However , because of tensions rising between leaders of the small Mormon community , the summer heat and difficulty growing crops , the missionaries returned to Utah in 1857 , abandoning the fort . For the next few years the area remained unoccupied by Americans except for travelers and traders . Then the U.S. Army , in an attempt to deceive Confederate spies active in southern California in 1864 , falsely publicized that it reclaimed the fort and had renamed it Fort Baker , briefly recalling the area to national attention . After the end of the war in 1865 , Octavius Gass , with a commission from the federal government , re-occupied the fort . The Paiute nation had declined in numbers and negotiated a new treaty with the United States , ceding the area around the fort to the United States in return for relocation and supplies of food and farming equipment . Consequently , Gass started irrigating the old fields and renamed the area ' Las Vegas Rancho . ' Gass made wine at his ranch and Las Vegas became known as the best stop on the Old Spanish Trail . In 1881 , because of mismanagement and intrigue with a Mormon syndicate , Gass lost his ranch to Archibald Stewart to pay off a lien Stewart had on the property . In 1884 , Archibald 's wife , Helen J. Stewart became the Las Vegas Postmaster . The property ( increased to 1,800 acres ( 730 ha ) ) , stayed with the family ( despite Archibald Stewart 's murder in July 1884 ) until it was purchased in 1902 by the San Pedro , Los Angeles , and Salt Lake Railroad , then being built across southern Nevada . The railroad was a project of Montana Senator William Andrews Clark . Clark enlisted Utah 's U.S. Senator and mining magnate Thomas Kearns to ensure the line 's completion through Utah to Las Vegas . The State Land Act of 1885 offered land at $1.25 per acre ( $3.09 / hectare ) . Clark and Kearns promoted the area to American farmers who quickly expanded the farming plots of the areas . Not until 1895 did the first large - scale migration of Mormons begin in the area , at long last fulfilling Brigham Young 's early dream . Through wells and arid irrigation , agriculture became the primary industry for the next 20 years and in return for his development , the farmers named the area Clark County in honor of the railroad tycoon and Senator . 1905 -- 1929 : birth , growth and crisis ( edit ) St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church near 4th and Bridger in downtown was founded in 1910 . By the early 20th century , wells piped water into the town , providing both a reliable source of fresh water and the means for additional growth . The increased availability of water in the area allowed Las Vegas to become a water stop , first for wagon trains and later railroads , on the trail between Los Angeles , California , and points east such as Albuquerque , New Mexico . The San Pedro , Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad was completed in 1905 , linking Salt Lake City to southern California . U.S. Senator William Andrews Clark was the majority owner of the railroad , which was a corporation based in Utah . Among its original incorporators were Utah 's U.S. Senator Thomas Kearns and his business partner David Keith . Kearns , one of the richest and most powerful men in Utah , and Keith were the owners of Utah 's Silver King Coalition Mine , several mines in Nevada and The Salt Lake Tribune newspaper . Kearns and Keith helped Clark ensure the success of the new railroad across Utah and into Nevada to California . Curiously , for a time there were two towns named Las Vegas . The east - side of Las Vegas ( which encompassed the modern Main Street and Las Vegas Boulevard ) was owned by Clark , and the west - side Las Vegas ( which encompassed the area north of modern - day Bonanza Road ) was owned by J.T. McWilliams , who was hired by the Stewart family during the sale of the Las Vegas Rancho and bought available land west of the ranch . It was from their property that Las Vegas took form . Clark subsequently built another railroad branching off from Las Vegas to the boomtown of Bullfrog called the Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad . With the revenue coming down both railways that intersected there , the area of Las Vegas was quickly growing . On May 15 , 1905 , Las Vegas officially was founded as a city , when 110 acres ( 45 ha ) , in what would later become downtown , were auctioned to ready buyers . Las Vegas was the driving force in the creation of Clark County , Nevada in 1909 and the city was incorporated in 1911 as a part of the county . The first mayor of Las Vegas was Peter Buol who served from 1911 - 1913 . Shortly after the city 's incorporation , the State of Nevada reluctantly became the last western state to outlaw gaming . This occurred at midnight , October 1 , 1910 , when a strict anti-gambling law became effective in Nevada . It even forbade the western custom of flipping a coin for the price of a drink . Nonetheless , Las Vegas had a diversified economy and a stable and prosperous business community , and therefore continued to grow until 1917 . In that year , a combination of economic influences and the redirection of resources by the federal government in support of the war effort forced the Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad to declare bankruptcy . Although William Clark sold the remains of the company to the Union Pacific Railroad , a nationwide strike in 1922 left Las Vegas in a desperate state . 1930 -- 1941 : Hoover dam and the first casinos ( edit ) Hoover Dam in 1942 On July 3 , 1930 , President Herbert Hoover signed the appropriation bill for the Boulder Dam . The dam was later renamed the Hoover Dam during the Truman administration . Work started on the dam in 1931 and Las Vegas ' population swelled from around 5,000 citizens to 25,000 , with most of the newcomers looking for a job building the dam . However , the demographic of the work force consisting of males from across the country with no attachment to the area created a market for large scale entertainment . A combination of local Las Vegas business owners , and Mafia crime lords helped develop the casinos and showgirl theaters to entertain the largely male dam construction workers . Despite the influx of known crime figures , the local business community tried to cast Las Vegas in a respectable light when the Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur visited in 1929 to inspect the dam site . However a subordinate was found with alcohol on his breath ( this was during the time of Prohibition ) after a visit to Block 16 in Las Vegas . The government ultimately decided that a federal - controlled town , Boulder City , would be erected for the dam workers . Realizing that gambling would be profitable for local business , the Nevada state legislature legalized gambling at the local level in 1931 . Las Vegas , with a small but already well - established illegal gambling industry , was poised to begin its rise as the gaming capital of the world . The county issued the first gambling license in 1931 to the Northern Club , and soon other casinos were licensed on Fremont Street like the Las Vegas Club and the Apache Hotel . Fremont Street became the first paved street in Las Vegas and received the city 's first traffic light in 1931 . In reply , the federal government restricted movement of the dam workers to Las Vegas . Smuggling and circuitous routes then were developed . In 1934 , to curtail these activities and the resulting growth of criminal figures in the gambling industry , the city 's leading figures purged gambling dens and started an effort to stem the flow of workers from the dam . This only emboldened some dam workers who still contrived to visit Las Vegas . A celebration of this era has become known as Helldorado Days . Although the suppression efforts resulted in declines at gambling venues and resulted in a business downturn , the city was recharged -- both literally and figuratively -- when the dam was completed in 1935 . In 1937 , Southern Nevada Power became the first utility to supply power from the dam , and Las Vegas was its first customer . Electricity flowed into Las Vegas and Fremont Street became known as Glitter Gulch due to the many bright lights powered by electricity from Hoover Dam . Meanwhile , although the dam worker population disappeared , Hoover Dam and its reservoir , Lake Mead , turned into tourist attractions on their own and the need for additional higher class hotels became clear . In 1940 , U.S. Route 95 was finally extended south into Las Vegas , giving the city two major access roads . Also in 1940 Las Vegas 's first permanent radio station , KENO , began broadcasting replacing the niche occupied earlier by transient broadcasters . 1941 -- 1945 war years ( edit ) Main article : Las Vegas in the 1940s On January 25 , 1941 the U.S. Army established a flexible gunnery school for the United States Army Air Corps in Las Vegas . Mayor John L. Russell signed over land to the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps for this development . The gunnery school later would become Nellis Air Force Base . The U.S. Army was not pleased with the legal prostitution in Las Vegas and in 1942 forced Las Vegas to outlaw the practice , putting Block 16 , the local red light district permanently out of business . On April 3 , 1941 , hotel owner Thomas Hull opened the El Rancho Vegas . It was the first resort on what would become the Las Vegas Strip . The hotel gained much of its fame from the gourmet buffet that it offered . On October 30 , 1942 , Texas cinema magnate R.E. Griffith rebuilt on the site of a nightclub called Pair - O - Dice , that first opened in 1930 , and renamed it Hotel Last Frontier . A few more resorts were built on and around Fremont Street , but it was the next hotel on the Strip that publicly demonstrated the influence of organized crime on Las Vegas . Although ethnic organized crime figures had been involved in some of the operations at the hotels , the Mafia bosses never owned or controlled the hotels and clubs which remained monopolized by hard - bitten local Las Vegas families who were unwilling to cede ground to the crime bosses and proved strong enough to push back . This changed in post-war Las Vegas when Jewish gangster Bugsy Siegel , with help from friend and fellow mob boss Meyer Lansky , poured money through Mormon - owned banks for cover of legitimacy and built The Flamingo in 1946 . Siegel modeled his enterprises on the long - running gambling empire in Galveston , Texas , which had pioneered the high - class casino concepts that became mainstays on the Strip . 1946 -- 1955 : post-war boom ( edit ) Main articles : Las Vegas in the 1940s and Las Vegas in the 1950s The Flamingo initially lost money and Siegel died in a hail of gunfire in Beverly Hills , California in the summer of 1947 . Additionally , local police and Clark County Sheriff deputies were notorious for their heavy - handed tactics toward mobsters who `` grew too big for their pants . '' However , many mobsters saw the potential that gambling offered in Las Vegas . From 1952 to 1957 , through money and institutional lending provided by the Teamsters Union and some Mormon bankers they built the Sahara , the Sands , the New Frontier , the Royal Nevada , the Showboat , The Riviera , The Fremont , Binion 's Horseshoe ( which was the Apache Hotel ) , and finally The Tropicana . Owned and operated by a joint combination of Mormon elders who provided political and business legitimacy and people involved with organized crime who provided unreported income and street muscle , such as Meyer Lansky , these crime hotels became regarded as the epitome of gambling entertainment . Even with the general knowledge that some of the owners of these casino resorts had dubious backgrounds , by 1954 , over 8 million people were visiting Las Vegas yearly pumping $200 million into casinos . Gambling was no longer the only attraction ; the biggest stars of films and music like Frank Sinatra , Dean Martin , Andy Williams , Liberace , Bing Crosby , Carol Channing , and others performed in intimate settings . After coming to see these stars , the tourists would resume gambling , and then eat at the gourmet buffets that have become a staple of the casino industry . However , the confluence of various marginal and / or suspected groups such as Jews , Sicilians , and Mormons into the gambling enterprises in Las Vegas and the subsequent cornering of the gambling market in the city by these groups sparked a two - year investigation by Senator Estes Kefauver and his Senate Special Committee to Investigate Crime in Interstate Commerce in 1950 -- 51 . The hearing concluded that organized crime money was incontrovertibly tied to the Las Vegas casinos and was becoming the controlling interest in the city thereby earning for the groups vast amounts of income which was strengthening their influence in the country . This led to a proposal by the Senate to institute federal gambling control . Only through the power and influence of Nevada 's Senator Pat McCarran did the proposal die in committee . Along with their connections in Hollywood and New York City , these interests in Las Vegas were able to use publicity provided by these media capitals to steer the rapid growth of tourism into Las Vegas thereby dooming Galveston , Texas ; Hot Springs , Arkansas ; and other illegal gaming centers around the nation . Nevada 's legal gaming as well as the paradoxical increased scrutiny by local and federal law enforcement in these other locales during the 1950s made their demise inevitable . Atomic testing ( edit ) Nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site While the Strip was booming , the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission on January 27 , 1951 detonated the first of over a hundred atmospheric explosions at the Nevada Test Site . These atmospheric tests would continue until enactment of the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963 when the tests moved underground . The last test explosion was in 1992 . Despite the dangers and risks , greatly underestimated at the time , of radiation exposure from the fallout , Las Vegas advertised the explosions as another tourist attraction and offered Atomic Cocktails in Sky Rooms that offered a great view of the mushroom clouds . The influx of government employees for the Atomic Energy Commission and from the Mormon - controlled Bank of Las Vegas spearheaded by E. Parry Thomas during those years funded the growing boom in casinos . But Las Vegas was doing more than growing casinos . In 1948 , McCarran Field was established for commercial air traffic . In 1957 the University of Nevada , Las Vegas was first established , initially as a branch of the University of Nevada , Reno and becoming independent in 1969 . In 1959 the Clark County Commission built the Las Vegas Convention Center , which would become a vital part of the area 's economy . A new utility company , Southwest Gas expanded into Las Vegas in 1954 . 1956 -- 1969 : the beginning of modern Las Vegas ( edit ) Main article : Las Vegas in the 1950s Howard Hughes ( edit ) In 1966 , Howard Hughes , the eccentric hero of the American aviation industry , and noted American entrepreneurial financier with vast connections to long established networks in the country , moved to Las Vegas . Initially staying in the Desert Inn , he refused to vacate his room and instead decided to purchase the entire hotel . Hughes extended his financial empire to include Las Vegas real estate , hotels and media outlets , spending an estimated $300 million and using his considerable powers to take over many of the well known hotels , especially the organized crime connected venues and he quickly became one of the most powerful men in Las Vegas . He was instrumental in changing the image of Las Vegas from its Wild West roots into a more refined cosmopolitan city . Hank Greenspun ( edit ) The local newspaper Las Vegas Sun and its editor Hank Greenspun led a crusade in those days to expose all the criminal ties , activities , and government corruption in Las Vegas . His investigative reporting and editorials led to the exposure of Clark County Sheriff Glen Jones ' ownership of a brothel and the resignation of Lieutenant Governor Clifford A. Jones as the state 's national committeeman for the Democratic Party . Before his death in 1989 , Hank Greenspun founded The Greenspun Corporation to manage his family 's assets , and it remains a major influence in Las Vegas , with media holdings in print , television and the Internet ; substantial real estate holdings ; and ownership stakes in a number of casinos . Local government ( edit ) One problem for the City of Las Vegas was that the Strip did not reside in Las Vegas . Because of this , the city lost tax revenue . There was a push to annex the Strip by the City of Las Vegas , but The Syndicate used the Clark County Commissioners to pull a legal maneuver by organizing the Las Vegas Strip properties into an unincorporated township called Paradise . Under Nevada Law , an incorporated town , Las Vegas , can not annex an unincorporated township . To this day , virtually all of the Strip remains outside the City of Las Vegas . Desegregation ( edit ) Much like in other American settled counties and towns throughout the United States , entertainment venues were segregated between black - and white - owned businesses . With almost all of the businesses owned and operated by whites , Black Americans were barred from entering the venues which remained focused , regardless of their legitimacy or criminality , on entertaining a white - only clientele . As a result of property deeds , businesses owned by or mainly serving non-whites were confined to clubs on the `` west side '' of the tracks . This also was enforced in many of the work positions . Thus , African Americans ( except those who provided the labor for low - paying menial positions or entertainment ) and Hispanics were limited in employment occupations at the white - owned clubs . However , because of employment deals with black worker groups , many clubs favored black workers , and the Hispanic population actually decreased ninety percent from 2,275 to just 236 by the mid-1950s . Organized crime - owned businesses saw an opportunity in not dividing their clientele by race and , despite property deeds and city and county codes barring such activities , made several attempts at desegregating their businesses in the hopes of putting out of operation the non-white owned clubs and expanding their own market share . An attempt was made at forming an all - integrated night - club modeled on the Harlem Clubs of New York City during the 1920s and 1930s , like those owned by German - Jewish gangster Dutch Schultz . On May 24 , 1955 , Jewish crime boss Will Max Schwartz , along with other investors , opened the Moulin Rouge . It was a very upscale and racially integrated casino that actually competed against the resorts on the Strip , especially the non-white owned strips on the west side . By the end of the year , the casino closed as Schwartz and his partners had a falling out , but the seeds for racial integration were sown . Many sources have credited Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack as a significant driving force behind desegregation in the casinos . One famous story tells of Sinatra 's refusal to perform at the Sands Hotel unless the hotel provided Sammy Davis Jr. with a room . The famed performing group made similar demands at other venues , forcing owners to amend their policies over time . However , it took political action for racial desegregation to occur . In 1960 , the NAACP threatened a protest of the city 's casinos for their policies . A meeting between the NAACP , the mayor and local businessmen resulted in citywide casino desegregation , starting with the employees . Many whites were attritioned from positions and their jobs given to the black unions . Along with the rest of the country , Las Vegas experienced the struggle for civil rights . Activists like James B. McMillan , Grant Sawyer , Bob Bailey , and Charles Keller dragged Las Vegas to racial integration . Aside from seeing no business advantage to excluding non-white customers from casinos and clubs , the organized crime groups themselves were composed of people of ethnicities ( Jewish and Italian ) that faced discrimination from WASP America and thus could understand the plight of blacks . This was also a driving force behind the integration advocated by ethnic performers such as Sinatra and Martin . Another big force for equality was Mayor Oran Gragson . Spurred into local politics by a vigilante ring of cops who repeatedly broke into his appliance store , he implemented infrastructure improvements for the minority neighborhoods in Las Vegas , backed the NAACP in its actions , and promoted black workers for jobs . He also championed the cause of the Paiute tribe that owned a small portion of Las Vegas . Gragson stopped the U.S. government from evicting the tribe and actually made infrastructure improvements for them . His work helped reverse the decrease of minority populations in Las Vegas . Local legislation kept up with the national legislation and integration was finally established . The only real violence came as a result of school integration , with violent riots and fights occurring in Clark High School when black gangs and youths began attacking the whites . Integration sparked white flight from the school district from 1965 to 1971 . That school was then later destroyed . 1970 - 1988 : explosive growth ( edit ) On a percentage basis , Las Vegas and Clark County experienced incredibly high growth rates starting in the 1930s and lasting until the late 2000s recession . During that period , the population of the city more than doubled in most decades . The rate slowed down in the 1970s with the decrease of the white birth rate , but never dropped below 60 % ( 1980 -- 1990 ) , and even accelerated after 1990 due to immigration . By 2000 , Las Vegas was the largest city founded in the 20th century , and by 2006 it was the 28th largest city in the US , with a population of 552,000 in the city and nearly 1.8 million in Clark County . The explosive growth resulted in rapid development of commercial and residential areas throughout the Las Vegas Valley . The strong boom in the resort business led to many new condominium developments all along the Strip and downtown area . Also urban sprawl development of single - family homes continued across the valley , building the areas of Henderson , North Las Vegas , Centennial Hills , and Summerlin . The rapid development and population growth both halted abruptly in the late 2000s recession . During this period of time , American author and journalist Hunter S. Thompson wrote and published his seminal novel , Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas , detailing the experience of his 1971 trip to the city . On November 21 , 1980 the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino , suffered a devastating fire . A total of 85 people died and 785 were injured in what remains the worst disaster in Nevada history . The property was eventually sold and reopened as Bally 's Las Vegas , while MGM moved south to Tropicana Avenue . Since 1989 : the megaresort era ( edit ) The Strip resorts in late 2009 The `` Mafia / Rat Pack '' Las Vegas of the mid-20th century came to a gradual end in the 1980s with the aging out of the World War II generation , the decline of organized crime elements , and the rise of baby boomer entrepreneurs who began a new chapter in the city 's history , the so - called megaresort era . Las Vegas began to become a more commercialized , family - oriented place with large corporations coming to own the hotels , casinos , and nightclubs in place of Mafia bosses . The megaresort era kicked off in 1989 with the construction of The Mirage . Built by developer Steve Wynn , it was the first resort built with money from Wall Street , selling $630 million in junk bonds . Its 3,044 rooms , each with gold tinted windows , set a new standard for Vegas luxury and attracted tourists in droves , leading to additional financing and rapid growth on the Las Vegas Strip . More landmark hotels and other structures were razed to make way for ever - larger and more opulent resorts including : 1990 : Rio and Excalibur 1993 : MGM Grand , Treasure Island , and Luxor , 1996 : Stratosphere Tower and Monte Carlo 1997 : New York - New York 1998 : Bellagio 1999 : Mandalay Bay , Venetian , and Paris 2000 : Planet Hollywood ( Formerly Aladdin ) 2001 : Palms 2005 : Wynn ( opened in April by Wynn Resorts Limited opened its new flagship , the constructed at a cost of US $2.7 billion . ) The Helldorado Days festival was resumed in 2005 for the City of Las Vegas ' centennial celebration . Since 2007 : downturn and recovery ( edit ) The home mortgage crisis ( 2007 - 2010 ) and the late 2000s recession affected Las Vegas ' economic success . New home construction was stalled , and construction projects were either canceled , postponed , or continued with financial troubles . Some of these projects included the MGM Mirage property of CityCenter , Fontainebleau , Echelon , and The Plaza . The global financial situation also had a negative effect on gaming and tourism revenue , causing many of the companies to report net loss . Nevertheless , new landmark hotels and resorts were still to arise , including : 2007 : Palazzo 2008 : Encore 2009 : CityCenter 2010 : The Cosmopolitan Starting in 2013 , the sector began to turn around with the proposal of the Resorts World projects replacing the Echelon currently under construction . The Alon resort is planned to resume the site formerly the Frontier and originally planned for the Plaza . Fontainbleau is currently being on the process of being sold and resumed . Wynn Resorts is also planning an additional tower with a central lake planned for 2020 and a new arena opened near the New York New York hotel on 2016 . Las Vegas has still managed to host many conventions and major events , such as the annual Latin Grammy Awards , & the Consumer Electronics Show .

"Urbanisation began in 1902, when a railroad linking Los Angeles and Salt Lake City attracted many farmers to the area, and fresh water was piped into the settlement. In 1911, the city was incorporated as part of Clark County. In 1931 work started on the Boulder Dam (now the Hoover Dam), bringing a huge influx of young male workers, for whom theatres and casinos were built, largely by the Mafia. Electricity from the dam also enabled the building of many new hotels along the Strip. The arrival of Howard Hughes in 1966 did much to offset mob influence, and helped turn Las Vegas into more of a family tourist centre, now classified as a Megaresort."

4481744528671546285 | List of basketball players who have scored 100 points in a single game | List of Basketball players who have scored 100 points in a single game - wikipedia List of Basketball players who have scored 100 points in a single game This is the latest accepted revision , reviewed on 12 November 2017 . Jump to : navigation , search This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness . You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries . On August 7 , 2010 , Corey Fisher scored 105 points during a semi-professional summer league game . In basketball , points are the sum of the score accumulated through field goals ( two or three points ) and free throws ( one point ) . It is a rare achievement for an individual player to score 100 points in a single game . What follows is an incomplete list of all of the verified occurrences of players scoring 100 points or more . Each individual instance of the achievement may have had different circumstances surrounding it , such as game length , opponent skill level and the league in which it occurred . Internationally , the highest single player total between national teams is 116 points , scored by the Philippines ' Luis `` Lou '' Salvador in May 1923 against China . It happened during the 1923 Far Eastern Games . The highest single game total in worldwide organized basketball history , irrespective of gender , age or competition level , is 272 points , scored by a 13 - year - old boy named Mats Wermelin of Sweden . He recorded every single point in his team 's 272 -- 0 win on February 5 , 1974 , during a regional boys ' tournament held in Stockholm . The highest total by a female basketball player worldwide is 136 , scored by Anat Draigor of Israel . It happened on April 5 , 2006 , in a 158 -- 41 win . Draigor was 46 years old playing in an Israel Division III League playoff game , which also makes her the oldest player in history to score 100 points . Only one player , other than the United States ' Bevo Francis and Jack Taylor , has recorded multiple 100 - point games in organized competition . Croatia 's Marin Ferenčević scored 101 and 178 points in April and May 2006 , respectively , during Under - 14 Croatian League matches . In the United States , 100 - point games have occurred at least once at most levels of education . At the middle school level , 13 - year - old 8th grader Bob Harrison scored all 139 of his team 's points in a 139 -- 8 win on February 3 , 1941 . In high school , there have been 24 verified occurrences , 19 by male players and 5 by female players . The first recorded instance was in 1913 , when Herman Saygar of Culver High School ( Indiana ) scored 113 points against Winamac High School . The first female to score 100 points at the high school level was Denise Long of Union - Whitten High School ( Iowa ) , who scored 111 points during a state playoff game in the spring of 1968 against Dows High School . That season , Long 's senior year of 1967 -- 68 , she averaged a still - standing national record 68.2 points per game . Her single game total stood as the high school female record for 38 years until Epiphanny Prince scored 113 for Murry Bergtraum High School ( New York ) on February 2 , 2006 . The boys ' high school record is 135 points , scored by Danny Heater on January 26 , 1960 . Playing for Burnsville High School ( West Virginia ) against Widen High School , Heater made 53 of 70 field goals and 29 of 41 free throws . His 135 - point outburst is still the highest total for the high school level worldwide . At the college level , there have been six 100 - point games , two of which were recorded by Clarence `` Bevo '' Francis of Rio Grande College and two by Jack Taylor of Grinnell College . Francis scored 116 points against Ashland College on January 9 , 1953 , but the opponent was not a four - year institution , so the total did not count as the official college record . One year later , on February 2 , 1954 , Francis scored 113 against Hillsdale College , which had been the recognized highest total in United States college basketball history for 59 years ; Grinnell 's Taylor scored 138 points on November 20 , 2012 to set the new all - time NCAA all - divisions mark . He again recorded 100 + points on November 17 , 2013 when he scored 109 against Crossroads College . Frank Selvy of Furman University is the only player to score 100 points at the Division I level . Selvy recorded exactly 100 points on February 13 , 1954 -- less than two weeks after Francis scored 113 -- against Newberry College . He scored his 99th and 100th points on a 40 - foot shot as the final buzzer sounded . Professionally , there have been a number of occurrences of 100 - point games worldwide . It has only happened once in the United States , however . Wilt Chamberlain of the National Basketball Association 's Philadelphia Warriors scored 100 points on March 2 , 1962 against the New York Knicks during a game played at Hersheypark Arena in Hershey , Pennsylvania . He made 36 - of - 63 field goals and 28 - of - 32 free throws , the latter being a particularly boggling statistic considering Chamberlain was a 51.1 % free throw shooter for his career .

2779173679429803787 | Doug Jones (actor) | Doug Jones ( actor ) - wikipedia Doug Jones ( actor ) Jump to : navigation , search Doug Jones Jones at Judson University , October 2015 ( 1960 - 05 - 24 ) May 24 , 1960 ( age 57 ) Indianapolis , Indiana , U.S. Nationality American Occupation Actor Years active 1985 -- present Spouse ( s ) Laurie Jones ( m . 1984 ) Website www.thedougjonesexperience.com Doug Jones ( born May 24 , 1960 ) is an American actor and former contortionist known for roles in the science fiction , fantasy , and horror genres , often wearing heavy makeup to play nonhuman characters . He is perhaps best known for his collaborations with filmmaker Guillermo del Toro , starring in Mimic , as Abe Sapien in Hellboy and Hellboy II : The Golden Army , the Faun and the Pale Man in Pan 's Labyrinth , Crimson Peak and The Asset in The Shape of Water , respectively . He has appeared in films such as Tank Girl , Hocus Pocus and The Bye Bye Man . He also portrayed the titular Silver Surfer in the superhero film Fantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer , as well as appearing in the TV series Falling Skies , Buffy the Vampire Slayer and del Toro 's The Strain . He is currently a series regular in Star Trek : Discovery , as Lt. Saru . Contents ( hide ) 1 Personal life 2 Career 3 Filmography 3.1 Film 3.2 Television 3.3 Web series 3.4 Video games 4 References 5 External links Personal life ( edit ) Jones was born in Indianapolis , Indiana , the youngest of four brothers , and attended Bishop Chatard High School . He graduated from Ball State University , where he parlayed his background as a mime into portraying the school mascot `` Charlie Cardinal '' . He describes himself as a `` dyed - in - wool Christian from the Midwest '' , to the point that he was initially apprehensive about his role in Hellboy , as the titular character is a demon . Career ( edit ) Jones has worked as a contortionist , saying , `` You 'd be surprised how many times that comes into play in commercials . They 'll want somebody to hold a box of Tide funny or something . I once squished into a box for a commercial for relaxed fit jeans '' . Although known mostly for his work under prosthetic makeup , such as the zombie Billy Butcherson in the Disney Halloween film Hocus Pocus , or the lead spy Morlock in the 2002 remake of the 1960 film The Time Machine , he has also performed without prosthetics in such films as Adaptation , Mystery Men , and Batman Returns , and indie projects such as Stefan Haves ' Stalled , AntiKaiser Productions ' Three Lives , Phil Donlon 's A Series of Small Things , and as Cesare in David Fisher 's 2005 remake of the 1920 silent classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari . He performed as Abe Sapien in Hellboy , although the voice was performed by an uncredited David Hyde Pierce . Explaining the challenge of working so often in rubber suits and prosthetics , he notes , `` I have to make that a part of my being and my physicality and again , acting is a full body experience and that 's a part of it when you 're doing a costumed character . '' Jones at the June 2008 Big Apple Convention in Manhattan In 2005 , he renewed his association with Mexican director Guillermo del Toro , starring as the Faun in del Toro 's multiple - Academy Award - winning Spanish - language fantasy / horror project Pan 's Labyrinth . He also has a secondary role in the film as the Pale Man , a gruesome creature with a penchant for eating children . Working once more under heavy prosthetics in both roles , he was also required to learn large amounts of dialogue in Spanish , though ultimately his voice was dubbed anyway . The year also brought success for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari , the film receiving three awards at the Screamfest Horror Festival in Los Angeles , including the Audience Choice Award . In 2006 , Jones appeared in the feature films The Benchwarmers and Lady in the Water , and reprised his role as Abe Sapien by voicing the character in the new Hellboy Animated television project , recording two 75 - minute animated films . In February 2007 , Jones ' likeness was used for Nvidia 's `` Human Head '' tech demo . In June 2007 , Jones appeared in Fantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer as the Silver Surfer ( though Laurence Fishburne provided the character 's voice ) . He reprised his role as Abe Sapien in Hellboy II : The Golden Army , once more under the direction of del Toro , for which he provided both the voice and body performance . He also played two other roles in the film : the Angel of Death and the Chamberlain , both under heavy prosthetics . In 2009 , del Toro announced on BBC Radio that Jones would be playing the monster in his upcoming version of Frankenstein . Jones starred as himself in Sockbaby 4 , the fourth installment of the Internet martial arts comedy series Sockbaby . Jones appeared in the French - language film Gainsbourg ( Vie héroïque ) , written and directed by French comic book author Joann Sfar and produced by Universal Europe . Jones played La Gueule ( `` The Mug '' ) , the grotesque fantasy muse and malicious doppelganger who teases , guides , and accompanies Serge Gainsbourg throughout his life . He worked under prosthetics designed and created by the Academy Award - winning Spanish FX shop DDT Efectos Especiales , with whom he had already worked on Pan 's Labyrinth ; the FX technicians requested specifically that Jones be given the role of the Mug creature , due to his ability to perform with heavy prosthetics and elaborate special effects . As in Pan 's Labyrinth , Jones performed his lines phonetically , this time speaking in French ; his voice was redubbed by Éric Elmosnino , who also played Gainsbourg . Director Joann Sfar liked Jones ' speech patterns so much that he asked Elmosnino to mimic it when he performed the creature 's lines . The film was released in France on January 20 , 2010 . In January 2010 , Jones signed a book deal with Medallion Press to model a nonfiction comedic coffee table book called Mime Very Own Book , co-written by Adam Mock and Scott Allen Perry , and photographed by Eric Curtis . The book was due for publication in December 2011 . Jones plays Dr. Henry Vataber in the web series Universal Dead . In late June 2010 , it was announced that Universal Dead will be made into a feature film . Jones appeared in the independent film The Candy Shop , a `` modern fairy tale '' shedding light upon child sex trafficking created by the Georgia film studio Whitestone Pictures .

Involving diplomats from 32 countries and nationalities , the major or main decisions were the creation of the League of Nations , as well as the five peace treaties with the defeated states ; the awarding of German and Ottoman overseas possessions as `` mandates '' , chiefly to Britain and France ; reparations imposed on Germany ; and the drawing of new national boundaries ( sometimes with plebiscites ) to better reflect ethnic boundaries . The main result was the Treaty of Versailles with Germany , which in section 231 laid the guilt for the war on `` the aggression of Germany and her allies '' . This provision proved humiliating for Germany and set the stage for the expensive reparations Germany was intended to pay ( it paid only a small portion before reparations ended in 1931 ) . The five major powers ( France , Britain , Italy , Japan and the United States of America ) controlled the Conference . And the `` Big Four '' were the Prime Minister of France , Georges Clemenceau ; the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom , David Lloyd George ; the President of the United States , Woodrow Wilson ; and the Prime Minister of Italy , Vittorio Emanuele Orlando . They met together informally 145 times and made all the major decisions , which in turn were ratified by the others . The conference began on January 18 , 1919 and with respect to its end date Professor Michael Neiberg has noted : Although the senior statesmen stopped working personally on the conference in June 1919 , the formal peace process did not really end until July 1923 , when the Treaty of Lausanne was signed `` .

This date was symbolic , as it was the anniversary of the proclamation of William I as German Emperor in 1871 , in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles , shortly before the end of the Siege of Paris - a day itself imbued with significance in its turn in Germany as the anniversary of the establishment of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701 . The Delegates from 27 nations ( delegates representing 5 nationalities were for the most part ignored ) were assigned to 52 commissions , which held 1,646 sessions to prepare reports , with the help of many experts , on topics ranging from prisoners of war to undersea cables , to international aviation , to responsibility for the war . Key recommendations were folded into the Treaty of Versailles with Germany , which had 15 chapters and 440 clauses , as well as treaties for the other defeated nations . The five major powers ( France , Britain , Italy , the U.S. , and Japan ) controlled the Conference . Amongst the `` Big Five '' , in practice Japan only sent a former prime minister and played a small role ; and the `` Big Four '' leaders dominated the conference . The four met together informally 145 times and made all the major decisions , which in turn were ratified by other attendees . The open meetings of all the delegations approved the decisions made by the Big Four . The conference came to an end on 21 January 1920 with the inaugural General Assembly of the League of Nations . Map of the world with the participants in World War I . The Allies and their colonial possessions are depicted in green , the Central Powers and their colonial possessions in orange , and neutral countries in grey . Five major peace treaties were prepared at the Paris Peace Conference ( with , in parentheses , the affected countries ) : the Treaty of Versailles , 28 June 1919 , ( Germany ) the Treaty of Saint - Germain , 10 September 1919 , ( Austria ) the Treaty of Neuilly , 27 November 1919 , ( Bulgaria ) the Treaty of Trianon , 4 June 1920 , ( Hungary ) the Treaty of Sèvres , 10 August 1920 ; subsequently revised by the Treaty of Lausanne , 24 July 1923 , ( Ottoman Empire / Republic of Turkey ) . The major decisions were the establishment of the League of Nations ; the five peace treaties with defeated enemies ; the awarding of German and Ottoman overseas possessions as `` mandates '' , chiefly to members of the British Empire and to France ; reparations imposed on Germany , and the drawing of new national boundaries ( sometimes with plebiscites ) to better reflect the forces of nationalism . The main result was the Treaty of Versailles , with Germany , which in section 231 laid the guilt for the war on `` the aggression of Germany and her allies '' . This provision proved humiliating for Germany and set the stage for very high reparations Germany was supposed to pay ( it paid only a small portion before reparations ended in 1931 ) . As the conference 's decisions were enacted unilaterally , and largely on the whims of the Big Four , for its duration Paris was effectively the center of a world government , which deliberated over and implemented the sweeping changes to the political geography of Europe . Most famously , the Treaty of Versailles itself weakened Germany 's military and placed full blame for the war and costly reparations on Germany 's shoulders -- the humiliation and resentment in Germany is sometimes considered one of the causes of Nazi electoral successes and indirectly a cause of World War II . The League of Nations proved controversial in the United States as critics said it subverted the powers of Congress to declare war ; the U.S. Senate did not ratify any of the peace treaties and the U.S. never joined the League -- instead , the Harding administration of 1921 - 1923 concluded new treaties with Germany , Austria , and Hungary . Republican Germany was not invited to attend the conference at Versailles . Representatives of White Russia ( but not Communist Russia ) were present . Numerous other nations did send delegations in order to appeal for various unsuccessful additions to the treaties ; parties lobbied for causes ranging from independence for the countries of the South Caucasus to Japan 's unsuccessful demand for racial equality amongst the other Great Powers . Mandates ( edit ) A central issue of the Conference was the disposition of the overseas colonies of Germany . ( Austria did not have colonies and the Ottoman Empire presented a separate issue . ) The British dominions wanted their reward for their sacrifice . Australia wanted New Guinea , New Zealand wanted Samoa , and South Africa wanted South West Africa ( modern Namibia ) . Wilson wanted the League of Nations to administer all the German colonies until such time as they were ready for independence . Lloyd George realized he needed to support his dominions , and he proposed a compromise that there be three types of mandates . Mandates for the Turkish provinces were one category ; they would be divided up between Britain and France . The second category , comprising New Guinea , Samoa , and South West Africa , were located so close to responsible supervisors that the mandates could hardly be given to anyone except Australia , New Zealand , and South Africa . Finally , the African colonies would need the careful supervision as `` Class B '' mandates that could only be provided by experienced colonial powers Britain , France , and Belgium ; Italy and Portugal received small bits of territory . Wilson and the others finally went along with the solution . The dominions received `` Class C Mandates '' to the colonies they wanted . Japan obtained mandates over German possessions north of the equator . Wilson wanted no mandates for the United States ; his top advisor Colonel House was deeply involved in awarding the others . Wilson was especially offended by Australian demands . He and Hughes had some memorable clashes , with the most famous being : Wilson : `` But after all , you speak for only five million people . '' Hughes : `` I represent sixty thousand dead . '' ( The much larger the United States had suffered 50,000 deaths . ) British approach ( edit ) The British Air Section at the Conference Maintenance of the British Empire 's unity , holdings and interests were an overarching concern for the British delegates to the conference , but it entered the conference with the more specific goals of : Ensuring the security of France Removing the threat of the German High Seas Fleet Settling territorial contentions Supporting the League of Nations with that order of priority . The Racial Equality Proposal put forth by the Japanese did not directly conflict with any of these core British interests . However , as the conference progressed the full implications of the Racial Equality Proposal , regarding immigration to the British Dominions ( with Australia taking particular exception ) , would become a major point of contention within the delegation . Ultimately , Britain did not see the Racial Equality proposal as being one of the fundamental aims of the conference . The delegation was therefore willing to sacrifice this proposal in order to placate the Australian delegation and thus help satisfy its overarching aim of preserving the unity of the British Empire . Although Britain reluctantly consented to the attendance of separate Dominion delegations , the British did manage to rebuff attempts by the envoys of the newly proclaimed Irish Republic to put its case to the Conference for self - determination , diplomatic recognition and membership of the proposed League of Nations . The Irish envoys ' final `` Demand for Recognition '' in a letter to Clemenceau , the Chairman , was not answered . Britain had planned to legislate for two Irish Home Rule states ( without Dominion status ) , and did so in 1920 . In 1919 Irish nationalists were unpopular with the Allies because of the Conscription Crisis of 1918 . David Lloyd George commented that he did `` not do badly '' at the peace conference , `` considering I was seated between Jesus Christ and Napoleon . '' This was a reference to the very idealistic views of Wilson on the one hand and the stark realism of Clemenceau , who was determined to see Germany punished . Dominion representation ( edit ) The Australian delegation . At the center is Australian Prime Minister Billy Hughes The Dominion governments were not originally given separate invitations to the conference , but rather were expected to send representatives as part of the British delegation . Convinced that Canada had become a nation on the battlefields of Europe , its Prime Minister , Sir Robert Borden , demanded that it have a separate seat at the conference . This was initially opposed not only by Britain but also by the United States , which saw a dominion delegation as an extra British vote . Borden responded by pointing out that since Canada had lost nearly 60,000 men , a far larger proportion of its men compared to the 50,000 American losses , at least had the right to the representation of a `` minor '' power . The British Prime Minister , David Lloyd George , eventually relented , and convinced the reluctant Americans to accept the presence of delegations from Canada , India , Australia , Newfoundland , New Zealand and South Africa . They also received their own seats in the League of Nations . Canada , although it too had sacrificed nearly 60,000 men in the war , asked for neither reparations nor mandates . The Australian delegation , led by the Australian Prime Minister , Billy Hughes , fought hard for its demands : reparations , the annexation of German New Guinea and rejection of the Japanese racial equality proposal . Hughes said that he had no objection to the equality proposal provided it was stated in unambiguous terms that it did not confer any right to enter Australia . Hughes was concerned by the rise of Japan . Within months of the declaration of the War in 1914 , Japan , Australia and New Zealand had seized all German possessions in the Far East and Pacific . Though Japan occupied German possessions with the blessings of the British , Hughes was alarmed by this policy . French approach ( edit ) Woodrow Wilson , Georges Clemenceau and David Lloyd George confer at the Paris Peace Conference ( Noël Dorville , 1919 ) The French Prime Minister , Georges Clemenceau , controlled his delegation and his chief goal was to weaken Germany militarily , strategically and economically . Having personally witnessed two German attacks on French soil in the last forty years , he was adamant that Germany should not be permitted to attack France again . In particular , Clemenceau sought an American and British guarantee of French security in the event of another German attack . Clemenceau also expressed skepticism and frustration with Wilson 's Fourteen Points : `` Mr. Wilson bores me with his fourteen points '' , complained Clemenceau . `` Why , God Almighty has only ten ! '' Wilson won a few points by signing a mutual defense treaty with France , but back in Washington he did not present it to the Senate for ratification and it never took effect . Another alternative French policy was to seek a rapprochement with Germany . In May 1919 the diplomat René Massigli was sent on several secret missions to Berlin . During his visits Massigli offered on behalf of his government to revise the territorial and economic clauses of the upcoming peace treaty . Massigli spoke of the desirability of `` practical , verbal discussions '' between French and German officials that would lead to a `` collaboration Franco - allemande '' . Furthermore , Massagli told the Germans that the French thought of the `` Anglo - Saxon powers '' , namely the United States and British Empire , to be the major threat to France in the post-war world . He argued that both France and Germany had a joint interest in opposing `` Anglo - Saxon domination '' of the world and warned that the `` deepening of opposition '' between the French and the Germans `` would lead to the ruin of both countries , to the advantage of the Anglo - Saxon powers '' . The Germans rejected the French offers because they considered the French overtures to be a trap to trick them into accepting the Versailles treaty `` as is '' and because the German foreign minister , Count Ulrich von Brockdorff - Rantzau thought that the United States was more likely to reduce the severity of the peace terms than France . In the final event it proved to be Lloyd George who pushed for more favourable terms for Germany . Italian approach ( edit ) From left to right : Marshal Ferdinand Foch , Clemenceau , Lloyd George and the Italians Vittorio Emanuele Orlando and Sidney Sonnino In 1914 Italy remained neutral despite its alliance with Germany and Austria . In 1915 it joined the Allies . It was motivated by gaining the territories promised by the Allies in the secret Treaty of London : the Trentino , the Tyrol as far as Brenner , Trieste and Istria , most of the Dalmatian coast except Fiume , Valona and a protectorate over Albania , Antalya in Turkey and possibly colonies in Africa or Asia . The Italian Prime Minister Vittorio Emanuele Orlando tried , therefore , to get full implementation of the Treaty of London , as agreed by France and Great Britain before the war . He had popular support , for the loss of 700,000 soldiers and a budget deficit of 12,000,000,000 Lire during the war made the Italian government and people feel entitled to all these territories and even more not mentioned in the Treaty of London , in particular the city of Fiume , which many Italians believed should be annexed to Italy because of the Italian population . In the meetings of the `` Big Four '' , in which Orlando 's powers of diplomacy were inhibited by his lack of English , the others were only willing to offer Trentino to the Brenner , the Dalmatian port of Zara and some of the Dalmatian islands . All other territories were promised to other nations and the great powers were worried about Italy 's imperial ambitions . Even though Italy did get most of its demands , Orlando was refused Fiume , most of Dalmatia and any colonial gain , so he left the conference in a rage . There was a general disappointment in Italy , which the nationalist and fascist parties used to build the idea that Italy was betrayed by the Allies and refused what was due ( Mutilated victory ) . This led to the general rise of Italian fascism . American approach ( edit ) `` The Big Four '' made all the major decisions at the Paris Peace Conference ( from left to right , David Lloyd George of Britain , Vittorio Emanuele Orlando of Italy , Georges Clemenceau of France , Woodrow Wilson of the U.S. ) Prior to Wilson 's arrival in Europe in December 1918 , no American president had ever visited Europe while in office . Wilson 's Fourteen Points , of a year earlier , had helped win the hearts and minds of many as the war ended ; these included Americans and Europeans generally , as well as Germany , its allies and the former subjects of the Ottoman Empire specifically . Wilson 's diplomacy and his Fourteen Points had essentially established the conditions for the armistices that had brought an end to World War I. Wilson felt it was his duty and obligation to the people of the world to be a prominent figure at the peace negotiations . High hopes and expectations were placed on him to deliver what he had promised for the post-war era . In doing so , Wilson ultimately began to lead the foreign policy of the United States toward interventionism , a move strongly resisted in some domestic circles . Once Wilson arrived , however , he found `` rivalries , and conflicting claims previously submerged '' . He worked mostly trying to sway the direction that the French ( Georges Clemenceau ) and British ( Lloyd George ) delegations were taking towards Germany and its allies in Europe , as well as the former Ottoman lands in the Middle East . Wilson 's attempts to gain acceptance of his Fourteen Points ultimately failed , after France and Britain refused to adopt some specific points and its core principles . In Europe , several of his Fourteen Points conflicted with the other powers . The United States did not encourage or believe that the responsibility for the war that Article 231 placed on Germany was fair or warranted . It would not be until 1921 that the United States finally signed separate peace treaties with Germany , Austria , and Hungary . In the Middle East , negotiations were complicated by competing aims , claims , and the new mandate system . The United States hoped to establish a more liberal and diplomatic world , as stated in the Fourteen Points , where democracy , sovereignty , liberty and self - determination would be respected . France and Britain , on the other hand , already controlled empires , wielded power over their subjects around the world and still aspired to be dominant colonial powers . In light of the previously secret Sykes -- Picot Agreement , and following the adoption of the mandate system on the Arab province of the former Ottoman lands , the conference heard statements from competing Zionist and Arab claimants . President Woodrow Wilson then recommended an international commission of inquiry to ascertain the wishes of the local inhabitants . The Commission idea , first accepted by Great Britain and France , was later rejected . Eventually it became the purely American King -- Crane Commission , which toured all Syria and Palestine during the summer of 1919 , taking statements and sampling opinion . Its report , presented to President Wilson , was kept secret from the public until The New York Times broke the story in December 1922 . A pro-Zionist joint resolution on Palestine was passed by Congress in September 1922 . France and Britain tried to appease the American President by consenting to the establishment of his League of Nations . However , because isolationist sentiment was strong and some of the articles in the League 's charter conflicted with the United States Constitution , the United States never ratified the Treaty of Versailles nor joined the League of Nations , which President Wilson had helped create , to further peace through diplomacy rather than war and conditions which can breed it . Under President Warren Harding the United States signed separate treaties with Germany , Austria , and Hungary in 1921 . Japanese approach ( edit ) Japanese delegation at the Paris Peace Conference 1919 , with ( seated l - to - r ) former Foreign Minister Baron Makino Nobuaki , former Prime Minister Marquis Saionji Kinmochi , and the Japanese Ambassador to Great Britain Viscount Chinda Sutemi . Japan sent a large delegation headed by the former Prime Minister , Marquis Saionji Kinmochi . It was originally one of the `` big five '' but relinquished that role because of its slight interest in European affairs . Instead it focused on two demands : the inclusion of their racial equality proposal in the League 's Covenant and Japanese territorial claims with respect to former German colonies , namely Shantung ( including Kiaochow ) and the Pacific islands north of the Equator ( the Marshall Islands , Micronesia , the Mariana Islands , and the Carolines ) . The former Foreign Minister Baron Makino Nobuaki was de facto chief while Saionji 's role was symbolic and limited by his ill health . The Japanese delegation became unhappy after receiving only one - half of the rights of Germany , and walked out of the conference . Racial equality proposal ( edit ) Main article : Racial Equality Proposal , 1919 Japan proposed the inclusion of a `` racial equality clause '' in the Covenant of the League of Nations on 13 February as an amendment to Article 21 . It read : The equality of nations being a basic principle of the League of Nations , the High Contracting Parties agree to accord as soon as possible to all alien nationals of states , members of the League , equal and just treatment in every respect making no distinction , either in law or in fact , on account of their race or nationality . Because he knew that Great Britain was critical to the decision , President Wilson , as Conference chairman , ruled that a unanimous vote was required . On 11 April 1919 , the commission held a final session and the proposal received a majority of votes , but Great Britain and Australia opposed it . The Australians had lobbied the British to defend Australia 's White Australia policy . The defeat of the proposal influenced Japan 's turn from cooperation with the West toward more nationalistic policies . Territorial claims ( edit ) The Japanese claim to Shantung was disputed by the Chinese . In 1914 at the outset of World War I Japan had seized the territory granted to Germany in 1897 . They also seized the German islands in the Pacific north of the equator . In 1917 , Japan had made secret agreements with Britain , France , and Italy that guaranteed their annexation of these territories . With Britain , there was a mutual agreement , Japan also agreeing to support British annexation of the Pacific islands south of the equator . Despite a generally pro-Chinese view on behalf of the American delegation , Article 156 of the Treaty of Versailles transferred German concessions in Jiaozhou Bay , China to Japan rather than returning sovereign authority to China . The leader of the Chinese delegation , Lou Tseng - Tsiang , demanded that a reservation be inserted before he would sign the treaty . The reservation was denied , and the treaty was signed by all the delegations except that of China . Chinese outrage over this provision led to demonstrations known as the May Fourth Movement . The Pacific islands north of the equator became a class C mandate administered by Japan . Greek approach ( edit ) Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos took part in the Paris Peace Conference as Greece 's chief representative . President Woodrow Wilson was said to have placed Venizelos first in point of personal ability among all delegates gathered in Paris to settle the terms of Peace . Venizelos proposed the Greek expansion on Thrace and Asia Minor ( lands of the defeated Kingdom of Bulgaria and Ottoman Empire ) , Northern Epirus , Imvros and Tenedos , aiming to the realization of the Megali Idea . He also reached an agreement with the Italians on the cession of the Dodecanese ( Venizelos -- Tittoni agreement ) . For the Greeks of Pontus he proposed a common Pontic - Armenian State . As a liberal politician , Venizelos was a strong supporter of the Fourteen Points and of the League of Nations . Chinese approach ( edit ) The Chinese delegation was led by Lou Tseng - Tsiang , accompanied by Wellington Koo and Cao Rulin . Before the Western powers , Koo demanded that Germany 's concessions on Shandong be returned to China . He further called for an end to imperialist institutions such as extraterritoriality , legation guards , and foreign leaseholds . Despite American support and the ostensible spirit of self - determination , the Western powers refused his claims , transferring the German concessions to Japan instead . This sparked widespread student protests in China on 4 May , later known as the May Fourth Movement , eventually pressuring the government into refusing to sign the Treaty of Versailles . Thus the Chinese delegation at the Paris Peace Conference was the only one not to sign the treaty at the signing ceremony . Questions about independence ( edit ) All - Russian government ( whites ) ( edit ) While Russia was formally excluded from the Conference , despite having fought the Central Powers for three years , the Russian Provincial Council ( chaired by Prince Lvov ) , the successor to the Russian Constituent Assembly and the political arm of the Russian White movement attended the conference . It was represented by the former Tsarist minister Sergey Sazonov who , ironically , if the Tsar had not been overthrown would most likely have attended the conference anyway . The Council maintained the position of an indivisible Russia , but some were prepared to negotiate over the loss of Poland and Finland . The Council suggested all matters relating to territorial claims , or demands for autonomy within the former Russian Empire , be referred to a new All - Russian Constituent Assembly . Ukraine ( edit ) Ukraine had its best opportunity to win recognition and support from foreign powers at the Conference of 1919 . At a meeting of the Big Five on 16 January , Lloyd George called Ukrainian leader Symon Petliura ( 1874 -- 1926 ) an adventurer and dismissed Ukraine as an anti-Bolshevik stronghold . Sir Eyre Crowe , British undersecretary of state for foreign affairs , spoke against a union of East Galicia and Poland . The British cabinet never decided whether to support a united or dismembered Russia . The United States was sympathetic to a strong , united Russia as a counterpoise to Japan , but Britain feared a threat to India . Petliura appointed Count Tyshkevich his representative to the Vatican , and Pope Benedict XV recognized Ukrainian independence . Ukraine was effectively ignored . Belarus ( edit ) A Delegation of the Belarusian Democratic Republic under Prime Minister Anton Łuckievič also participated in the conference , attempting to gain international recognition of the independence of Belarus . On the way to the conference , the delegation was received by Czechoslovak president Tomáš Masaryk in Prague . During the conference , Łuckievič had meetings with the exiled Foreign Minister of admiral Kolchak 's Russian government Sergey Sazonov and the Prime Minister of Poland Ignacy Jan Paderewski . Minority rights in Poland and other European countries ( edit ) At the insistence of President Wilson , the Big Four required Poland to sign a treaty on 28 June 1919 that guaranteed minority rights in the new nation . Poland signed under protest and made little effort to enforce the specified rights for Germans , Jews , Ukrainians , and other minorities . Similar treaties were signed by Czechoslovakia , Romania , Yugoslavia , Greece , Austria , Hungary , Bulgaria , and later by Latvia , Estonia , and Lithuania . Estonia had already given cultural autonomy to minorities in its declaration of independence . Finland and Germany were not asked to sign a minority rights treaty . In Poland , the key provisions were to become fundamental laws that overrode any national legal codes or legislation . The new country pledged to assure `` full and complete protection of life and liberty to all individuals ... without distinction of birth , nationality , language , race , or religion . '' Freedom of religion was guaranteed to everyone . Most residents were given citizenship , but there was considerable ambiguity on who was covered . The treaty guaranteed basic civil , political , and cultural rights , and required all citizens to be equal before the law and enjoy identical rights of citizens and workers . Polish was of the national language , but the treaty provided that minority languages could be freely used privately , in commerce , religion , the press , at public meetings , and before all courts . Minorities were to be permitted to establish and control at their own expense private charities , churches and social institutions , as well as schools , without interference from the government . The government was required to set up German - language public schools in those districts that had been German territory before the war . All education above the primary level was to be conducted exclusively in the national language . Article 12 was the enforcement clause ; it gave the Council of the League of Nations responsibility for monitoring and enforcing each treaty . Caucasus ( edit ) The three South Caucasian republics of Armenia , Azerbaijan and Georgia as well as the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus each sent a delegation to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 . Their attempts to gain protection from threats posed by the ongoing Russian Civil War largely failed as none of the major powers was interested in taking a mandate over the Caucasian territories . After a series of delays , the three South Caucasian countries ultimately gained de facto recognition from the Supreme Council of the Allied powers , but only when all European troops had been withdrawn from the Caucasus except for a British contingent in Batumi . Georgia was recognized de facto on 12 January 1920 , followed by Azerbaijan on the same day and Armenia on 19 January 1920 . The Allied leaders decided to limit their assistance to the Caucasian republics to arms , munitions , and food supply . The Armenian delegation was represented by Avetis Aharonyan , Hamo Ohanjanyan , Armen Garo and others . Azerbaijan 's mission was headed by Alimardan Topchubashev . The delegation from Georgia included Nikolay Chkheidze , Irakli Tsereteli , Zurab Avalishvili , and others . Korean delegation ( edit ) A delegation of Koreans from China and Hawaii did make it to Paris . Included in this delegation , was a representative from the Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai , Kim Kyu - sik . They were aided by the Chinese , who were eager for the opportunity to embarrass Japan at the international forum . Several top Chinese leaders at the time , including Sun Yat - sen , told U.S. diplomats that the peace conference should take up the question of Korean independence . Beyond that , however , the Chinese , locked in a struggle against the Japanese themselves , could do little for Korea . Apart from China , no nation took the Koreans seriously at the Paris conference because of its status as a Japanese colony . The failure of the Korean nationalists to gain support from the Paris Peace Conference ended the possibility of foreign support . Palestine ( edit ) Following the Conference 's decision to separate the former Arab provinces from the Ottoman Empire and to apply the newly conceived mandate - system to them , the Zionist Organization submitted their draft resolutions for consideration by the Peace Conference on 3 February 1919 . Zionist state as claimed at the Paris Peace Conference British memorandum on Palestine ahead of the Peace Conference The statement included five main points : Recognition of the Jewish people 's historic title to Palestine and their right to reconstitute their National Home there . The boundaries of Palestine were to be declared as set out in the attached Schedule The sovereign possession of Palestine would be vested in the League of Nations and the Government entrusted to Great Britain as Mandatory of the League . Other provisions to be inserted by the High Contracting Parties relating to the application of any general conditions attached to mandates , which are suitable to the case in Palestine . The mandate shall be subject also to several noted special conditions , including promotion of Jewish immigration and close settlement on the land and safeguarding rights of the present non-Jewish population a Jewish Council representative for the development of the Jewish National Home in Palestine , and offer to the Council in priority any concession for public works or for the development of natural resources self - government for localities freedom of religious worship ; no discrimination among the inhabitants with regard to citizenship and civil rights , on the grounds of religion , or of race control of the Holy Places However , despite these attempts to influence the conference , the Zionists were instead constrained by Article 7 of the resulting Palestine Mandate to merely having the right of obtaining Palestinian citizenship : `` The Administration of Palestine shall be responsible for enacting a nationality law . There shall be included in this law provisions framed so as to facilitate the acquisition of Palestinian citizenship by Jews who take up their permanent residence in Palestine . '' Citing the Balfour Declaration , the Zionists suggested that the British had already recognized the historic title of the Jews to Palestine in 1917 . The preamble of the British Mandate of 1922 , in which the Balfour Declaration was incorporated , stated : `` Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country ... '' . Historical assessments ( edit ) Main article : Causes of World War II The remaking of the world map at these conferences gave birth to a number of critical conflict - prone international contradictions , which would become one of the causes of World War II . The British historian Eric Hobsbawm claimed : ( N ) o equally systematic attempt has been made before or since , in Europe or anywhere else , to redraw the political map on national lines . ( ... ) The logical implication of trying to create a continent neatly divided into coherent territorial states each inhabited by separate ethnically and linguistically homogeneous population , was the mass expulsion or extermination of minorities . Such was and is the reductio ad absurdum of nationalism in its territorial version , although this was not fully demonstrated until the 1940s . It has long been argued that Wilson 's Fourteen Points , in particular , the principle of national self - determination , were primarily anti-Left measures , designed to tame the revolutionary fever sweeping across Europe in the wake of the October Revolution and the end of the war by playing the nationalist card .

For the episode of The Office , see Take Your Daughter to Work Day ( The Office ) . Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Day is a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) non-profit educational program in the United States , Canada and Australia that revolves around parents taking their children to work for one to three days . It is the successor to Take Our Daughters To Work Day , which was expanded to include boys in 2003 . In the U.S. , it occurs on the fourth Thursday in April and onward every year . In Canada , it is branded as Take Our Kids to Work . Organized by The Learning Partnership , it occurs annually in early November . In 2018 , it will be held on November 14th . In Sydney , Melbourne , and Brisbane Australia it occurs on January 5 , just after Christmas Break . History ( edit ) Take Our Daughters To Work Day was created in New York City in the summer of 1992 by the Ms. Foundation for Women and its president , Marie C. Wilson , the Women 's foundation treasurer , Ms. Daren Ball , and with support from foundation founder Gloria Steinem . The first celebration took place on April 22 , 1993 , and has since been celebrated on the fourth Thursday of April in order for the 37 million children , parents , schools in over 3.5 million workplaces across the country , in addition to participants in over 200 countries around the world , to plan ahead for the annual event . The day has generally been scheduled on a day that is a school day for most children in the United States , and schools are provided with literature and encouraged to promote the program . Educators are provided with materials for incorporating career exploration into school curricula on the day before or after the event . In 2000 , when asked by the Minneapolis Star Tribune which activities he would propose for a national day for boys equivalent to Take Our Daughters to Work day , author Robert Bly suggested that fathers take their sons to the library and show them the books they love . Noting that women have often been excluded from the work world , Bly said , `` I think it 's just as likely now that men will be shut out of the inward world , the literature world . '' The program was officially expanded in 2003 to include boys ; however , most companies that participated in the program had , since the beginning , allowed both boys and girls to participate , usually renaming it `` Take Our Children to Work Day '' or an equivalent . The program 's official website states that the program was changed in order to provide both boys and girls with opportunities to explore careers at an age when they are more flexible in terms of gender roles . The Ms. Foundation also states that men who have hosted children have benefited from being seen as parental figures in addition to their roles as professionals , which can contribute to combating gender stereotypes as well . Prior to the inclusion of boys , the Ms. Foundation contended that the program was designed to specifically address self - esteem issues unique to girls and initially resisted pressure to include boys . Much of this pressure came from educators who did not wish to include the event in their curriculum given that their male students were not encouraged to participate . In 2007 , upon becoming its own separate foundation , the Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work program was turned over to Carolyn McKecuen , a MacArthur Genius Award recipient , who took effective control as its Executive Director before relocated to Elizabeth City , North Carolina where it has remained since . Gloria Steinem continues to maintain a role with the Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Foundation as a member of its board of directors . Employees , across the United States and around the world , typically invite their own children or relatives to join them at work , but the program particularly encourages employees to invite children from residential programs or shelters who may not be exposed to many adults in skilled professions today .

( / tʃ ɪˈpoʊtleɪ / , chih - POHT - lay ) is an American chain of fast casual restaurants in the United States , United Kingdom , Canada , Germany , and France , specializing in tacos and Mission - style burritos . Its name derives from chipotle , the Nahuatl name for a smoked and dried jalapeño chili pepper . The company trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CMG . Chipotle is one of the first chains of fast casual dining establishments . Competitors in the fast - casual Mexican market include Qdoba Mexican Grill , Moe 's Southwest Grill , Rubio 's Coastal Grill , and Baja Fresh . Founded by Steve Ells on July 13 , 1993 , Chipotle had 16 restaurants ( all in Colorado ) when McDonald 's Corporation became a major investor in 1998 . By the time McDonald 's fully divested itself from Chipotle in 2006 , the chain had grown to over 500 locations . With more than 2,000 locations , Chipotle had a net income of US $475.6 million and a staff of more than 45,000 employees in 2015 . In May 2018 , Chipotle announced the relocation of their corporate headquarters to Southern California , ending their relationship with their founding city Denver after 25 years .

Afterward , he became a line cook for Jeremiah Tower at Stars in San Francisco . There , Ells observed the popularity of the taquerías and San Francisco burritos in the Mission District . In 1993 , Ells took what he learned in San Francisco and opened the first Chipotle Mexican Grill in Denver , Colorado , in a former Dolly Madison Ice Cream store at 1644 East Evans Avenue , near the University of Denver campus , using an $85,000 loan from his father . Ells and his father calculated that the store would need to sell 107 burritos per day to be profitable . After one month , the original restaurant was selling over 1,000 burritos a day . The second store opened in 1995 using Chipotle 's cash flow , and the third was opened using an SBA loan . To fund more growth , Ells ' father invested $1.5 million . Afterwards , Ells created a board of directors and business plan , raising an additional $1.8 million for the company . Ells had originally planned to use funds from the first Chipotle to open a fine - dining restaurant , but instead focused on Chipotle Mexican Grill when the restaurants saw success . In 1998 , the first restaurant outside of Colorado opened in Kansas City , Missouri . The company opened its first location in Minnesota by opening near the campus of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis in March 1999 . In 1998 , McDonald 's made an initial minority investment in the company . By 2001 , the company had grown to be Chipotle 's largest investor . The investment from McDonald 's allowed the firm to quickly expand , from 16 restaurants in 1998 to over 500 by 2005 . On January 26 , 2006 , Chipotle made its initial public offering ( IPO ) after increasing the share price twice due to high pre-IPO demand . In its first day as a public company , the stock rose exactly 100 % , resulting in the best U.S. - based IPO in six years , and the second - best IPO for a restaurant after Boston Market . The money from the offering was then used to fund new store growth . In March 2005 , Monty Moran was appointed president and chief operating officer of Chipotle while founder Steve Ells remained chairman and CEO . In October 2006 , McDonald 's fully divested from Chipotle . This was part of a larger initiative for McDonald 's to divest all of its non-core business restaurants -- Chipotle , Donatos Pizza , and Boston Market -- so that it could focus on the main McDonald 's chain . McDonald 's had invested approximately $360 million into Chipotle , and took out $1.5 billion . McDonald 's had attempted to get Chipotle to add drive - through windows and a breakfast menu , which Ells resisted . In 2008 , Chipotle opened its first location outside of the United States in Toronto . In January 2009 , president and chief operating officer Monty Moran was promoted to co-CEO , a position that he would share with Steve Ells , while Moran retained his president position . In a list of fastest - growing restaurant chains in 2009 , Chipotle was ranked eighth , based on increases in U.S. sales over the past year , and in 2010 Chipotle was ranked third . Consumer Reports ranked Chipotle as the best Mexican fast - food chain in 2011 . The company serves approximately 750,000 customers per day . In December 2010 , Chipotle hired chef Nate Appleman to develop new cuisine . Appleman has won Rising Star Chef from the James Beard Foundation , was named `` Best New Chef '' by the Food & Wine magazine , and competed on The Next Iron Chef . In 2010 , U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) audited Chipotle 's Minneapolis restaurants , and found that some employees had been hired using fraudulent documents . In December , Chipotle fired 450 employees from its Minneapolis restaurants as a result of the audit , resulting in protests by local groups . In February 2011 , ICE expanded the audit to include 60 restaurants in Virginia and Washington , D.C. which resulted in 40 workers being fired . In April 2011 , the criminal division of the Attorney General 's office in Washington , D.C. , joined the case , and ICE agents began interviewing employees at 20 to 25 restaurants in other locations , such as Los Angeles and Atlanta . In response to the government investigations , Chipotle hired former director of ICE Julie Myers Wood and high - profile attorneys Robert Luskin and Gregory B. Craig . In December 2016 , Chipotle announced that co-CEO Monty Moran has stepped down from his role effective immediately with Steve Ells becoming the sole CEO . Eleven months later , founder Steve Ells announced in November 2017 that he would be stepping down as CEO . In December 2017 , Chipotle announced it signed a 15 - year lease and in late 2018 will move around 450 corporate employees - currently housed in multiple buildings around downtown Denver - into the new 1144 Fifteenth Tower and occupy around 126,000 square feet or 5 floors of the 40 - story tower . In February 2018 , Chipotle announced that Taco Bell CEO Brian Niccol would replace Steve Ells as CEO starting on March 5 while Ellis would retain his chairman position . Many industry analysts praised Niccol 's appointment saying that Chipotle `` needed new blood . '' Chipotle stock went up $30.27 , or 12.04 % , as a result of the announcement . However , other analysts criticized the announcement by saying that `` the move goes against everything the burrito chain stands for . '' In May 2018 , Chipotle announced that it would relocate headquarters from Denver to Southern California . Corporate functions handled in their Denver and New York offices would move to Newport Beach or to an existing office in Columbus , Ohio . This move would impact 400 workers , some being offered relocation and retention packages . Other restaurant expansion ( edit ) In 2011 , Steve Ells was a judge for the TV show America 's Next Great Restaurant and investor of ANGR Holdings , the company that will be running the winning concept 's restaurants . Chipotle has agreed to purchase Ells ' investment in ANGR at his cost , provide support for ANGR operations , and invest a total of $2.3 million in cash contributions . The winning concept , Soul Daddy , was quickly closed after operating for less than 5 weeks . In September 2011 , Chipotle opened an Asian fast - casual concept restaurant named ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen in Washington , D.C. The company has said the new restaurant `` would follow the Chipotle service format and its focus on ' food with integrity ' in ingredients . '' Chipotle 's plan was to start with only one store , and see how the restaurant works out before expanding the concept . On December 18 , 2013 , the company revealed that it had opened its first fast - food pizza chain in Denver back in May 2013 . According to Associated Press , Chipotle partnered with a local full - service restaurant called Pizzeria Locale to create a fast - food version of the eatery , keeping its name . The company plans to open at least two more pizzerias in the Denver area . In April 2014 , Chipotle announced an increase in menu prices for the first time in nearly three years , due to increasing costs for steak , avocados , and cheese . The price increase was expected to be rolled out from the end of second quarter of 2014 through the end of the third quarter . In late 2015 , Chipotle expanded its mobile strategy through delivery partnerships with tech startups like Tapingo , a delivery service that targets college campuses . On July 29 , 2016 , the company announced the opening of its first Tasty Made burger restaurant in the fall . Chipotle was still dealing with the various virus outbreaks with additional marketing . The company was also reducing the number of new stores for the year from 235 to 220 . The newer restaurant concepts did not perform as well as expected so that ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen and Tasty Made were respectively closed in March 2017 and February 2018 leaving only Pizzeria Locale operating besides the parent company . International ( edit ) The second Chipotle Mexican Grill location in London , located on Baker Street According to an article in The Motley Fool , Chipotle had 17 locations outside of the United States by October 2014 with the majority in Canada , and the UK was in the process of opening more locations . The rate of overseas expansion was slower than expected . Many of the press reviewers thought that the food was overpriced for their area . As of 2017 there are 26 locations outside of the United States with 11 locations in Canada ( Ottawa , Toronto , Vancouver ) , 6 locations in The United Kingdom ( London ) , 3 in France ( Paris ) , and 1 in Germany ( Frankfurt ) . Canada ( edit ) In August 2008 , Chipotle opened its first location outside of the United States in Toronto . The second location in Toronto -- and in all of Canada -- was not opened until 2010 . The first Canadian location outside of the Toronto area was opened in Vancouver in December 2012 . A second Vancouver - area location was opened in Burnaby in October 2014 followed by a third in Surrey in January 2016 and a fourth in Langley in October 2016 . The first location in the nation 's capital of Ottawa was opened in February 2017 at the Rideau Centre . United Kingdom ( edit ) Chipotle expanded to Europe with the first European restaurant opening in May 2010 in London . A second location open in London in September 2011 . The following year , three additional locations were quickly opened in the London area . After this growth spurt , the rate of further expansion in London slowed greatly with the sixth location appearing in 2013 and the seventh in June 2015 . Although Chipotle blames the slow growth in the United Kingdom on the British unfamiliarity with Mexican foods , several locally owned burrito chains had opened locations across the United Kingdom during the same interval . France ( edit ) The first location in France opened in Paris in May 2012 . Expansion in France was much slower than that in the United Kingdom or Canada , with a second location in Paris opening in 2013 and a third location in 2014 . At 7,000 square feet , the restaurant at La Défense is , as of 2015 , the largest Chipotle location in the world , while a typical Chipotle restaurant is usually between 2,200 and 2,500 square feet . A fourth Parisian location was opened in Levallois - Perret in 2015 followed by a fifth and a sixth Parisian location in 2016 , both in Saint - Germain - des - Prés . Germany ( edit ) The first and only location in Germany opened up in Frankfurt in August 2013 . Corporate management ( edit ) Chipotle 's team includes a residing corporate office of managers and its board of directors . Members of both teams are appointed to serve on committees : audit , compensation , and nominating and corporate governance . The top management team consists of the Chief Executive Officer , Steve Ells ; the Chief Financial Officer , Jack R. Hartung ; the Chief Marketing and Development Officer , Mark Crumpacker . The current board of directors consists of : Steve Ells , Patrick Flynn , Albert Baldocchi , Neil Flanzraich , Darlene Friedman , Stephen Gillet , Kimbal Musk and John Charlesworth . On March 14 , 2018 it was reported that Mark Crumpacker , who had previously been charged in a 2016 cocaine ring indictment , would be leaving the company . Founder Steve Ells serves as chairman of the company , and served as Chief executive officer until November 2017 . He has a 1.25 % stake in the company . The labor - market research firm Glassdoor reported that Steve Ells earned $29 million in 2014 , versus a median of $19,000 for Chipotle 's workers , making the CEO - to - worker pay ratio 1522 : 1 . On February 13 , 2018 , Chipotle announced that Taco Bell CEO Brian Niccol would replace Steve Ells as CEO starting on March 5 while Ells would retain his chairman position . Operation and distribution ( edit ) All of Chipotle 's restaurants are company - owned , rather than franchised . As of December 2012 , 1430 restaurants have since opened throughout the United States and Canada , with locations in 43 states , Ontario , British Columbia , and the District of Columbia . The field team are the employees who work closely with but not directly within specific restaurants . The field support system includes apprentice team leaders ( step up from restaurateurs ) , team leaders or area managers , team directors and regional directors ( not atypical for them to oversee more than fifty locations ) . Because Chipotle does not franchise , all restaurants are corporately owned . Thus , whenever Chipotle is in the process of launching a new location , the field team hires a new general manager and trains them at a current location so that they will be ready for the new location when it opens for business . The corporate office takes care of finding and funding new locations as well . Menu ( edit ) A Chipotle restaurant in Brandon , Florida , having the typical service - line layout with menu above Chipotle 's menu consists of four items : burritos , bowls , tacos , and salads . The price of each item is based on the choice of chicken , pork carnitas , barbacoa , steak , tofu - based `` sofritas '' , or vegetarian ( with guacamole , which would be at an extra charge otherwise ) . Additional optional toppings are offered free of charge , including : rice , beans , queso , four types of salsa , sour cream , cheese , and lettuce . When asked in 2007 about expanding the menu , Steve Ells said , `` ( I ) t 's important to keep the menu focused , because if you just do a few things , you can ensure that you do them better than anybody else . '' Chipotle also offers a children 's menu . Most restaurants sell beer and margaritas in addition to soft drinks and fruit drinks . The majority of food is prepared in each restaurant . Some exceptions are the beans and carnitas , which are prepared at a central kitchen in Chicago , Illinois . None of the restaurants have freezers , microwave ovens , or can openers . Chicken Burrito Bowl The chain experimented with breakfast foods at two airports in the Washington ( D.C. ) metropolitan area but decided against expanding the menu in that direction . Starting in 2009 , selected restaurants had offered a pozole soup , which has since been discontinued . In June 2015 , Chipotle began test marketing a pork and chicken chorizo - type sausage as a new protein option at selected locations in the Kansas City area . Some food writers have expressed their health related concerns over the protein 's relatively high sodium content since a 4 - ounce serving contains 293 calories and 803 milligrams of sodium while the American Heart Association 's recommended daily amount is less than 1,500 milligrams of sodium . In contrast , the protein options with next highest sodium contents are Barbacoa with 530 milligrams and sofritas with 555 milligrams . An earlier version on the Mexican sausage was tested in Denver and New York City in 2011 , but that test was terminated when that version of the sausage was perceived as looking too greasy . As of September 2017 , chorizo is no longer available on Chipotle 's menu . Chipotle accepts fax orders , and in 2005 the company added the ability to order online from their website . For both online and fax orders , customers proceed to the front of the line to pay for pre-ordered food . In 2009 , Chipotle released an app for the iPhone that allows users to find nearby Chipotle locations , place an order , and prepay with a credit card . In 2013 , Chipotle released an Android app that allows users to locate nearby Chipotle locations , place an order , prepay with a credit or gift card , and access favorites and recent orders . Nutrition ( edit ) In 2003 , a Center for Science in the Public Interest report stated that Chipotle 's burritos contain over 1,000 calories , which is nearly equivalent to two meals ' worth of food . MSNBC Health.com placed the burritos on their list of the `` 20 Worst Foods in America '' because of their high caloric content and high sodium . When a burrito with carnitas , rice , vegetables , cheese , guacamole , and salsa was compared with a typical Big Mac , the burrito had more fat , cholesterol , carbohydrates , and sodium than the Big Mac , but it also had more protein and fiber . The restaurant has also received praise -- Health.com included the restaurant in its list of the `` Healthiest Fast Food Restaurants '' . Chipotle 's vegetarian options include rice , black beans , fajita vegetables ( onions and bell peppers ) , salsa , guacamole and cheese . All items other than the meats , cheese , sour cream , and honey vinaigrette dressing are vegan . As of late 2013 , Chipotle developed a new cooking strategy for the pinto beans , eliminating the bacon and making them vegetarian and vegan - friendly . The cheese is processed with vegetable - based rennet in order to be suitable for vegetarians . In April 2010 , Chipotle began testing a vegan `` Garden Blend '' option , which is a plant - based meat alternative marinated in chipotle adobo , at six locations in the U.S. The flour tortillas used for the burritos and soft tacos are the only items that contain gluten . Food sourcing ( edit ) In 1999 , while looking for ways to improve the taste of the carnitas , Steve Ells was prompted by an article written by Edward Behr to visit Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations ( CAFOs ) . Ells found the CAFOs `` horrific '' , and began sourcing from open - range pork suppliers . This caused an increase in both the price and the sales of the carnitas burritos . In 2001 , Chipotle released a mission statement called Food With Integrity , which highlighted Chipotle 's efforts to increase their use of naturally raised meat , organic produce , and dairy without added hormones . Chipotle only uses the leg and thigh meat from its chickens ; the breast meat is sold to Panera Bread . Customers at a Chipotle restaurant in Fredericksburg , Virginia Founder Steve Ells has testified before the United States Congress in support of the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act , which aims to reduce the amount of antibiotics given to farm animals . Since 2006 , the Coalition of Immokalee Workers ( CIW ) , a Floridian farmworker organization , has protested Chipotle 's refusal to sign a Fair Food agreement , which would commit the restaurant chain to pay a penny - per - pound premium on its Florida tomatoes to boost tomato harvesters ' wages , and to only buy Florida tomatoes from growers who comply with the Fair Food Code of Conduct . In 2009 , the creators of the documentary film Food , Inc. ( along with 31 other leaders in the sustainable food movement ) signed an open letter of support for the CIW 's campaign , stating that , `` If Chipotle is sincere in its wishes to reform its supply chain , the time has come to work with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers as a true partner in the protection of farmworkers rights . '' In September 2009 , Chipotle announced that it would sidestep partnership with the CIW and instead work directly with East Coast Growers and Packers to increase wages for its tomato pickers . CEO Steve Ells has framed the dispute as a fundamental issue of control , stating that , `` the CIW wants us to sign a contract that would let them control Chipotle 's decisions regarding food in the future . '' In October 2012 , Chipotle Mexican Grill signed an agreement with the CIW and became the 11th company to join the organization 's Fair Food Program . In January 2015 , Chipotle pulled carnitas from its menu in a third of its restaurants ; company officials cited animal welfare problems at one of the suppliers , found during a regular audit , as the reason . Subsequently , a false rumor spread online claiming it was done to appease Muslims who consider pork to be unclean , leading to some protests on social media . The company still uses antibiotic - free and hormone - free steak in its restaurants , despite being briefly forced to `` serve beef that is not naturally raised '' during the summer of 2013 , posting an in - store notice each time that occurred . Roberto Ferdman of The Washington Post opined that Chipotle 's stated mission to sell `` food with integrity '' may be `` untenable '' if meat producers continue to breach Chipotle 's ethical standards . Also in 2015 , Chipotle stopped using genetically modified corn and soy beans in their foods , claiming to be the first nationwide restaurant to cook completely GMO free . This was done in response to increasing consumer demand for GMO free products . Food safety ( edit ) External video `` How Chipotle made hundreds of people barf '' . Vox report dated January 6 , 2016 , explaining Chipotle 's `` food safety crisis '' . Since 2008 , a former Kansas State University food safety professor has accused Chipotle of confusing the public by using such terms as `` naturally raised meats '' , `` organic ingredients '' , and `` locally sourced '' and trying to equate those terms with food safety . In rebuttal , a Chipotle spokesperson told The Daily Beast that `` all of our practices have always been very much within industry norms . It 's important to note that restaurant practices are regulated by health codes , and restaurants are routinely inspected by health officials . Everything we have done in our supply chain and in our restaurants has been within industry norms . '' Yet , FiveThirtyEight pointed out that the 2015 norovirus outbreak appears to be unusual and others are criticizing their food sourcing or handling practices . MarketWatch wrote that the result of all of these outbreaks will be to force Chipotle to obtain their produce from larger corporate farms that can afford the more extensive microbial food - safety testing programs and to process vegetables at centralized locations instead of at the individual stores , both of which are industry - standard practices that the company had previously criticized . The New York Times implied that the company 's insistence on maintaining its long standing rhetoric about `` food integrity '' seemed to be quite opposite with the realities of recent current events and made it appear that the management was just ignoring their current problems . It also has been pointed out that Chipotle 's current record - keeping system is actually hindering the health authorities ' investigation in locating the sources of the various infections . A writer for the magazine Popular Science pointed out that Chipotle had publicly acknowledged that they `` may be at a higher risk for food - borne illness outbreaks than some competitors due to our use of fresh produce and meats rather than frozen , and our reliance on employees cooking with traditional methods rather than automation . '' Henry I. Miller , a medical researcher and columnist and the founding director of the FDA 's Office of Biotechnology , asked : `` One wonders whether Chipotle 's `` traditional methods '' include employees ' neglecting to wash their hands before preparing food , which is how norovirus is usually spread . And the fresh versus frozen dichotomy is nothing more than a snow - job . Freezing E. coli - contaminated food does not kill the pathogens ; it preserves them . '' Describing food poisoning outbreaks as `` something of a Chipotle trademark ; the recent ones are the fourth and fifth this year ( 2015 ) , one of which was not disclosed to the public '' , Miller notes that `` a particularly worrisome aspect of the company 's serial deficiencies is that there have been at least three unrelated pathogens in the outbreaks -- Salmonella and E. coli bacteria and norovirus . In other words , there has been more than a single glitch ; suppliers and employees have found a variety of ways to contaminate what Chipotle cavalierly sells ( at premium prices ) to its customers . '' A writer for the North Carolina newspaper The News & Observer called Chipotle 's `` food with integrity '' a `` lucrative farce '' and a `` marketing ploy '' by pointing out that organic food is `` often grown with manure ( an ' all - natural ' fertilizer ) , which can certainly increase the risks of accidentally spreading fecal bacteria like E. coli . '' In December 2015 , Seattle health officials closed a Seattle - area Chipotle for a day after it had repeatedly had small numbers of violations during recent consecutive inspections that previously would not have generated a closure order . On December 10 , 2015 , CEO Steve Ells released a press statement apologizing for 2015 outbreaks and promised changes to minimize the risks of future outbreaks . March 2008 Hepatitis outbreak ( edit ) In March and April 2008 , the Community Epidemiology Branch of the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency traced a hepatitis A outbreak in San Diego County to a single Chipotle restaurant located in La Mesa , California in which 22 customers were infected with the virus . April 2008 norovirus outbreak ( edit ) In 2008 , Chipotle was implicated in a norovirus outbreak in Kent , Ohio , where over 400 people became ill after eating at a Chipotle restaurant . Officials at the Ohio Department of Health said that the outbreak was caused by Norovirus Genotype G2 . Many of the victims were students at Kent State University . The initial source of the outbreak was never found . February 2009 campylobacter jejuni outbreak ( edit ) In 2009 , an investigation by the Minnesota Department of Health traced an outbreak of campylobacteriosis to a Chipotle Mexican Grill in Apple Valley , Minnesota . The investigation found that chicken was sometimes served undercooked by the restaurant and determined that lettuce which had been cross-contaminated with raw or undercooked chicken was the vector for the outbreak . July 2015 E. coli outbreak ( edit ) In early November 2015 , The Oregonian reported that there was a little - known E. coli outbreak that had occurred earlier in July in which five people were infected with the O157 : H7 strain of E. coli . The outbreak was traced to a single Chipotle location in Seattle and that the incident was not publicized at that time . Seattle public health officials defended their actions at that time by saying that the outbreak was over by the time they made an association with Chipotle . Health officials were unable to trace the source of the July outbreak and said that the cause of the July outbreak is unrelated to the October / November outbreak . August 2015 norovirus outbreak ( edit ) Another norovirus outbreak was confirmed to have occurred in August 2015 at a Simi Valley , California location in which 80 customers and 18 employees reported becoming ill . Ventura County health inspectors found various health violations during two inspections following the outbreak report . Despite those violations , the county health officials did not close the restaurant and allowed it to continue to operate . In a January 2016 article , the New York Times reported that the number of victims involved in the Simi Valley norovirus outbreak was actually 207 , twice the number that was reported earlier . In an unusual move , the U.S. Attorney 's Office for the Central District of California in conjunction with the Food and Drug Administration has gotten a federal grand jury to issue a subpoena in January 2016 as part of a criminal investigation seeking documents and information from Chipotle concerning the Simi Valley norovirus outbreak . As of January 2016 , it is too early to tell which organization is the actual target of the investigation . In most cases involving norovirus outbreaks that involved a single location , state and / or local authorities are the usual jurisdiction responsible in the investigation and prosecution of those type of cases . However , Ventura County officials had been criticized for their handling of parts of their investigation , and for allowing the restaurant to continue to operate after finding health violations during consecutive inspections . Less than two weeks later , a federal class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California claiming that Chipotle knowingly allowed an ill kitchen manager to work for two days before sending that person home . Then , the restaurant actively deep - cleaned the restaurant to remove all traces of contamination prior to notifying the Ventura County Environmental Health Division of the existing outbreak , hindering their investigation . The lawsuit also claimed that the number of known victims was as high as 234 and estimates that the number of meals that the infected employee may have come in contact with could be as high 3,000 . August 2015 Salmonella outbreak ( edit ) At almost the same time as the Simi Valley norovirus outbreak , Minnesota health officials confirmed a Salmonella outbreak that affected 17 Minneapolis - area Chipotle restaurants in mid-August 2015 . The source of the outbreak was traced back to contaminated tomatoes that were grown in Mexico . The Minnesota Department of Health reported that samples from 45 victims were tested and found that their illness was caused by the Salmonella Newport bacterium as determined by DNA profiling . Later , the state officials reported that the total of persons who became infected was increased to 64 and the number Chipotle locations in which they had acquired the bacterium was increased to 22 , all located within the state of Minnesota . October 2015 E. coli outbreak ( edit ) In October 2015 , at least 22 persons were reported to have gotten sick after eating at several different Chipotle locations in the states of Washington and Oregon . At that time , an epidemiologist for the Washington Health Department said the culprit appeared to be a Shiga toxin - producing Escherichia coli bacterium , but they were still waiting the outcome of several laboratory tests before they could give a definitive result . As a precaution , Chipotle had closed 43 stores in Washington and Oregon pending the results and recommendations of the involved health authorities . On November 5 , the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) had reported that the number of persons reported ill had risen to 40 known cases and that the bacteria samples taken from 7 infected persons in Washington and 3 persons in Oregon states were confirmed to be infected by the same strain of E. coli , the Shiga toxin - producing STEC O26 strain , as determined by DNA profiling . At least 12 persons required hospitalization , but no fatalities . As of November 2015 , Health authorities were still trying to trace the exact source of the bacterial contamination , but suspected fresh produce . On November 12 , the CDC increased the number of known cases to 50 , the number of persons requiring hospitalization to 14 , and the number of DNA fingerprint confirmations to 33 . Through a match via Pulsenet , the DNA fingerprint also matched a recent case in Minnesota , but the ill person did not eat at Chipotle . The source of the bacteria infection still had not yet been determined at the time of the report released by the CDC and the CDC is trying to use the more definitive , but more time consuming whole genome sequencing procedure to see if they are able to determine the relationships between all of the STEC O26 cases . In the meantime , Chipotle reopened the closed restaurants on November 11 after disposing all of the food within the closed facilities and deep cleaning those facilities . On November 20 , the CDC reported that the number of STEC O26 cases , as determined by DNA fingerprinting , had increased to 45 with 16 persons requiring hospitalization and the total number states being affected had increased to six . Besides Oregon and Washington , new cases were reported in the states of Minnesota , California , New York , and Ohio . 43 out of 45 of the affected individuals had reported that they had eaten at a Chipotle in the week before they had become sick . On December 4 , the CDC reported that the number of STEC O26 cases , as determined by DNA fingerprinting , had increased to 52 with 20 persons requiring hospitalization and the total number states being affected had increased to nine . New cases were reported in the states of California ( 1 ) , Illinois ( 1 ) , Maryland ( 1 ) , Ohio ( 2 ) , Pennsylvania ( 1 ) , and Washington ( 1 ) . The price of shares for Chipotle stock dropped a further 12 % immediately after the CDC had issued their update on November 20 . Share prices had been dropping since the initial announcement of the E. coli outbreak in late October with investors unsure if the drop in share prices just a temporary aberration and that Chipotle management is handling the incident as well as they could . Chipotle has since hired a consultant to improve their food safety program and have their program reviewed by both the CDC and FDA . On February 1 , 2016 , the CDC official closed their investigations on the larger E. coli that started in Pacific Northwest in October 2015 and also the smaller outbreak that started in Kansas and Oklahoma in November since no new cases were reported since December 1 . In their final report , the CDC stated that 55 persons in 11 states were infected with the same strain of STEC O26 during the major outbreak with 21 of those persons requiring hospitalization . The five persons infected in the later outbreak were made ill by a generically different strain of STEC O26 . The CDC also reported that federal and local health and food safety authorities were unable to detect traces of the microorganisms in any of the food samples taken from the suspected restaurants or from their supply chain . The CDC , FDA , and the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service were unable to determine a point source that was in common in the meals that were consumed by all the victims since some of the restaurants were located far apart and had obtained some of their ingredients from different suppliers while other consumers of the suspected suppliers were not affected . November 2015 E. coli cases ( edit ) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on December 21 that five more people became ill after eating at two Chipotle restaurants located in Kansas and Oklahoma in late November . Preliminary DNA fingerprinting results appear to indicated that the newer cases were caused by a different strain of Shiga toxin - producing E. coli O26 . Scientists are waiting for the results of the more definitive whole genome sequencing analyses to determine if the organisms responsible for this outbreak are genetically related to the E. coli that are responsible for causing the outbreak that had started in Oregon and Washington in late October and thus an extension of that outbreak . The agency has not yet determined which food is responsible for the outbreak . The Food and Drug Administration reported that they are trying to determine how the bacteria in these cases , along with the earlier Oregon , Washington , and other multi-state cases , might have been propagated through the food supply chain . December 2015 norovirus outbreak ( edit ) The closed restaurant on December 16 , 2015 In December 2015 , eighty students at Boston College were sickened after eating at a single Chipotle restaurant . Affected students had been tested for both E. coli and norovirus in order to determine the cause of the illnesses . Although it would take as long as two days before the results of more definitive tests became known , public health investigators reported that preliminary tests pointed to the presence of norovirus . The health inspectors for the City of Boston had since closed this particular location on December 7 for a number of health violations that included maintaining meats at a too low of a temperature on the serving line and for allowing a sick employee to work at the time of the inspection . On December 10 , officials from the Boston Public Health Commission reported that tests had identified a single strain of norovirus that is responsible for this particular outbreak . Boston Globe reported on December 10 that 141 persons were reported to have gotten ill and that some of the newer victims had not visited Chipotle before contracting the virus and most likely became infected by being in close proximity to someone who had gotten ill at Chipotle , such as a roommate or dorm - mate . Boston authorities traced the cause of the outbreak to a sick employee who was allowed to work on the day of the outbreak . Chipotle has since fired the employee and also the manager who knowingly allowed the ill worker to complete his shift instead of following health codes . Consequences of the multiple incidents in 2015 ( edit ) On February 8 , 2016 , Chipotle closed all of its eateries nationwide for a few hours during the morning for an all - staff meeting on food safety . The company hired a new head of food safety , who instituted changes including having all employees wash hands every half hour , having two employees verify that produce like onions , jalapeños and avocados have been immersed in hot water for five seconds to kill germs on their exteriors , and using Pascalization to pre-treat food ingredients . Since the series of food - poisoning outbreaks in 2015 lowered trust in the product , Chipotle has tried to lure back its customers with free food and heavier advertising . Same - store sales increased 17.8 % percent in the first quarter of 2017 . July 2017 norovirus outbreak ( edit ) Despite corrective actions , the company faced another setback in implementing their safe food policies in July 2017 . A norovirus outbreak is being investigated in Virginia . More than 130 people reported having norovirus - like symptoms and two individuals had tested positive for the virus after eating at a Chipotle restaurant in Sterling , Virginia . The Loudoun County Health Department confirmed the illnesses from July 13 -- 16 , 2017 . Shares of Chipotle 's stock stumbled more than 10 % on this news and also the news that customers had posted videos of mice skittering through a Chipotle restaurant in Dallas just a few days before the norovirus incident was reported . On July 25 , several news agencies reported that Chipotle officials confirmed that the `` recent norovirus outbreak in Virginia was the result of lax sick policy enforcement by store managers '' and that the company believed that an employee was the cause of the outbreak . Data breaches ( edit ) Chipotle had two known incidents in which customer credit card payment information was stolen . 2004 data breach ( edit ) In May 2006 , Chipotle filed a report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that the company may have experience theft of credit and debit card data that might have existed as far back as 1999 , when the company first accepted credit and debit cards as payment , until August 2004 when the merchant bank that process their credit and debit card transactions had informed Chipotle of the possible theft of credit and debit card information . Although the Chipotle claimed that there was no proof that theft of credit and debit card information had actually occurred , the results of outside forensic auditing firms concluded that the company 's use of flawed card processing software and the use of unsecured internet gateways by some of their computers may have made their information systems at the affected restaurants vulnerable during periods before August 2004 . The company spent $5.5 million to settle legal claims , and pay fines and related legal fees . The general public was not informed of the company 's data security problems when the company first became aware of the situation . 2017 data breach ( edit ) In April 2017 , Chipotle first announced that their point of sale payment system was compromised during a three - week period from late March to mid-April but gave very little information about the incident . The following month , the company later revealed that 2,250 restaurants in 47 states were involved which could potentially affect hundreds of thousands of customers who may had their credit or debit card account information with security codes stolen . A few restaurants in Canada was also affected . Some security experts criticized the way Chipotle had downplayed the incident . During the same month , a credit union in New Hampshire filed a class action lawsuit on the behalf of banks and credit unions against Chipotle for failure to provide elementary credit card data security in the most recent data breach after a similar data breach that had occurred in 2004 . In July 2017 , Gainesville , Florida , police reported that an unidentified person took more than $17,000 from a ATM at a local credit union by stealing from 40 different accounts that can be traced directly to the data breach . Lawsuit ( edit ) In November 2016 , three men filed a class - action lawsuit against Chipotle alleging that a burrito was listed as containing only 300 calories , when in fact it contained more . They are seeking `` unspecified damages and for an injunction against the company to prevent it from posting what it calls misleading information on its food . '' Advertising and publicity ( edit ) People line up outside a Chipotle in East Lansing , Michigan during a `` Free Burrito Day '' In the past , Chipotle mainly relied on billboards , radio ads , and word of mouth to advertise . In 2012 , Chipotle aired its first nationally televised commercial during the 54th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony . In 2010 , the company initiated an ad campaign that mocks advice given to Chipotle by advertising agencies . Chipotle has run many promotions giving out free food to potential customers , especially when opening a new store . Stores also give out free burritos on certain holidays ; for instance , on Halloween , some locations have had promotions in which free burritos are given to people who come dressed as a burrito . Chipotle gave away free burritos to reporters during the 1997 trial of Timothy McVeigh , which took place in Chipotle 's hometown of Denver . In addition , stores offered free burritos to those displaced by Hurricane Katrina . Chipotle received attention when Ozzy Osbourne 's reality show The Osbournes featured the company 's burritos heavily . For Halloween 2010 , Chipotle announced that customers dressed as a processed food product would receive a burrito for $2 . The event was part of a $1 million fundraiser for Jamie Oliver 's Food Revolution called `` Boorito 2010 : The Horrors of Processed Food . '' For `` Boorito 2011 '' , customers dressed in costumes `` inspired by family farms '' will receive a menu item for $2 , with proceeds from the promotion going to The Chipotle Cultivate Foundation and Farm Aid . The promotion is aimed to increase awareness of family farms . Also in support of family farms , Chipotle released music videos of Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Willie Nelson . On September 12 , 2013 , Chipotle released an animated short called The Scarecrow , with a companion mobile video game ; both feature a narrative heavily critical of industrial farming , but little in the way of direct marketing for the chain . The short features a cover of `` Pure Imagination '' from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory , sung by Fiona Apple . It was named one of the worst advertisements of 2013 by The Wall Street Journal . In 2011 , Chipotle created the `` Farm Team '' , which is a rewards program available only by invitation from restaurant managers . The Farm Team members have access to a special Chipotle website , where members can earn rewards , i.e. free food and T - shirts . The site offers members to , `` learn where Chipotle 's food comes from , take quizzes and polls , play games and watch videos about the company '' . In April 2014 , the Farm Team program was shut down . Chipotle sponsors Team Garmin - Barracuda ( formerly Team Garmin - Chipotle , Team Garmin - Slipstream , Team Garmin - Transitions and Team Garmin - Cervélo ) of the International Cycling Union , and is an official team partner of the Boston Celtics , and the Boston Bruins . In June 2009 , Chipotle sponsored free screenings of Food , Inc. , a film that criticizes the corporate food industry . Founder Steve Ells stated that he hoped the film would make customers appreciate Chipotle 's Food With Integrity policy . From May until September 2009 , Chipotle ran a contest on mychipotle.com , a microsite which had a competition for the best user - created audio and video presentations about different combinations of ingredients . In July 2010 , Chipotle began a campaign to support healthier lunch alternatives for students , in which money will be donated to The Lunch Box program based on how many spam E-mails consumers forward to a company E-mail address . For Chipotle 's 18 year anniversary , the company began wrapping its burritos in gold foil as part of a larger promotion to draw attention to its Food With Integrity mantra . Also as part of the gold foil campaign , Chipotle is offering prizes for customer - created pictures of items wrapped in gold foil . Chipotle hired comedian Amy Sedaris to create a comedic how - to video on wrapping with gold foil , and spread the video using Twitter . In March 2013 , Chipotle pulled its sponsorship of a Boy Scouts of America event , citing that organization 's ban on LGBT members . Cup and bag from the `` Cultivating Thought '' series , featuring the work of Paulo Coelho and Augusten Burroughs On December 16 , 2015 , Chipotle ran full page ads in both The Boston Globe and Boston Herald apologizing for the recent norovirus outbreak linked to Chipotle 's Cleveland Circle location . The ad , containing a letter by Chipotle founder and co-CEO Steve Ells , affirmed the company 's commitment to food safety . On March 14 , 2016 , a National Labor Relations Board ( NLRB ) administrative law judge concluded that Chipotle 's social media policy , and more specifically its application towards an employee who posted tweets regarding wages and working conditions , violated the National Labor Relations Act ( NLRA ) . A former Chipotle employee in Havertown , Pennsylvania , wrote a series of tweets from his personal account about hourly workers being required to work on snow days . Chipotle instructed the employee to delete the tweets . The NLRB judge determined that Chipotle 's request to delete the tweets violated the NLRA even though the employee was not disciplined as a result of his tweets . Architecture ( edit ) The exterior of a Chipotle in Durham , North Carolina Architecturally , all Chipotle restaurants are built using most of the same materials ( plywood , corrugated metal , stainless steel , exposed ductwork ) , although each store is unique . The interiors have been described as having an `` industrial , sheet metal look '' . Chipotle has built restaurants using white ceramic tile instead of stainless steel . It costs the company approximately $850,000 to open a new restaurant . When the first Chipotle opened , Steve Ells asked his friend , sculptor Bruce Gueswel , to design the chairs and a styled Mayan king whose face was loosely based on that of civil rights leader Martin Luther King , Jr. , a personal inspiration of Gueswel , for the restaurant . Both items were made from wood and metal . Gueswel has continued to design and build the art and chairs for all subsequent Chipotle restaurants . Most Chipotle locations display a photograph of the original restaurant , which is near the University of Denver campus on Evans Avenue . Instead of a photograph of itself , the original location has a photograph of the Dolly Madison Ice Cream that previously occupied the location . In 2010 , Chipotle began opening `` A Model '' restaurants , which are smaller concept locations , citing the lower costs of development and occupancy . Chipotle uses environmentally friendly packaging , with bowls made from recycled newsprint , unbleached tray liners , and napkins and cups made from postconsumer waste . Chipotle 's architectural design team incorporates the principles of sustainable architecture in their projects . The `` green '' restaurant in Gurnee , Illinois features an on - site six kilowatt wind turbine , which generates about 10 % of the restaurant 's electrical needs . The Gurnee restaurant has received Platinum level LEED certification from U.S. Green Building Council . A restaurant in Tulsa , Oklahoma , uses recycled drywall , low - VOC paint , and energy - efficient appliances . A Chipotle restaurant in Austin , Texas was the first to receive a four - star rating from the city 's Green Building Program . Additionally , Chipotle has made arrangements to add solar panels to 75 of its restaurants . Chipotle has contracted to clean its stores in New York City and Long Island , with `` plant - based , environmentally preferable cleaning supplies and technologies . '' The cleansers are readily biodegradable and non-toxic to humans or aquatic life . Chipotle was the defendant in a lawsuit for failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ) . Maurizio Antoninetti , a customer who used a wheelchair , claimed he was denied the `` Chipotle Experience '' , because he was unable to see the food preparation . The case against the company was upheld in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit , and the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear Chipotle 's appeal , leaving the Ninth Circuit 's ruling intact . Chipotle has `` an official disability policy of bringing ingredients to the tables of diners with disabilities and doing tableside preparation . '' Chipotle is retrofitting restaurants affected by the ruling , replacing the walls in front of the food preparation area with lower ones or transparent panels . They are incorporating the new design elements into new restaurants . The case was one of over twenty ADA - related lawsuits filed by Antoninetti , who died in 2011 . Other restaurant units ( edit ) Pizzeria Locale is a fast casual pizza restaurant formed as a partnership with Pizzeria Locale , a full - service pizza restaurant in Boulder , Colorado . The original Pizzeria Locale owners , Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon - Patterson , would continue to own their original location while Chipotle would increase its stake in the chain over time . As of February 2017 , the chain has seven locations . Defunct Soul Daddy was a soul food fast casual restaurant that was owned by ANGR Holdings , LLC , and was managed by Chipotle after purchasing Ellis ' stake in the company . The restaurant had three locations that had operated for less than 5 weeks in 2011 before closing . ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen was an Asian fast - casual concept restaurant that was opened by Chipotle in September 2011 . The company said that the new restaurant `` would follow the Chipotle service format and its focus on ' food with integrity ' in ingredients . '' Chipotle 's plan was to start with only one store , and see how the restaurant works out before expanding the concept . By July 2016 , the chain had 15 restaurants . All ShopHouse locations were closed on March 17 , 2017 . Tasty Made is a burger restaurant concept that Chipotle first opened in Lancaster , Ohio in October 2016 . On July 29 , 2016 , the company announced the opening of its first Tasty Made burger restaurant in the fall . The first location was revealed to be in Lancaster , Ohio . Ohio was selected as culinary manager Nate Appleman and national training director David Chrisman are both from the state and helped design the concept . Tasty Made was announced to have a focused menu like early burger restaurants which were limited to burgers , fries and milkshakes . Chipotle had trademarked Better Burger earlier in the year . Tasty Made was closed on February 28 , 2018 . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Shambora , Jessica ( October 8 , 2010 ) . `` Chipotle : Rise of a fast - food empire '' . CNNMoney .

-2573712378378511367 | List of NFL franchise post-season droughts | List of NFL franchise postseason droughts - wikipedia List of NFL franchise postseason droughts Jump to : navigation , search This is a list of current National Football League ( NFL ) franchise post-season and Super Bowl droughts ( multiple consecutive seasons of not winning ) . Listed here are both appearance droughts and winning droughts in almost every level of the NFL playoff system . As of the 2017 NFL season , every active NFL team has qualified for , and won a game in , the playoffs at least once . Teams that have never made it beyond each successive milestone are listed under the year in which they began NFL play . Of the 12 teams that have never won the Super Bowl , four ( 4 ) are expansion franchises younger than the Super Bowl itself ( Bengals , Panthers , Jaguars , and the Texans ) . The Falcons began playing during the season in which the Super Bowl was first played . The seven ( 7 ) other clubs ( Cardinals , Lions , Oilers / Titans , Chargers , Browns , Bills , and Vikings ) all won an NFL or AFL championship prior to the AFL -- NFL merger ; in the case of the Vikings , however , the Super Bowl existed at the time they won their league title , leaving them and the Falcons as the only two teams to have existed for as long as or longer than the Super Bowl and to have never secured the highest championship available to them . The longest drought since a championship of any kind is that of the Cardinals , at 69 seasons . Note that for continuity purposes , the Cleveland Browns are officially considered to have suspended operations for the 1996 , 1997 and 1998 seasons , Since returning 19 years ago they have only made playoffs once .

( June 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Eliza Dushku Dushku in 2012 Eliza Patricia Dushku ( 1980 - 12 - 30 ) December 30 , 1980 ( age 36 ) Watertown , Massachusetts , U.S. Residence Boston , Massachusetts , U.S. Citizenship American and Albanian Occupation Actress , model , voice actress Years active 1992 -- present Website Eliza Dushku Eliza Patricia Dushku ( / ˈdʊʃkuː / ; born December 30 , 1980 ) is an American actress and model known for her television roles , including starring as Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff series Angel . She starred in two Fox series , Tru Calling and Dollhouse . She is also known for her roles in films , including True Lies , The New Guy , Bring It On , Wrong Turn and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back , as well as her voice work on video games . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Career 2.1 Early career 2.2 Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2.3 Subsequent roles 2.4 2005 -- present 3 Personal life 4 Awards and nominations 5 Filmography 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Early life ( edit ) Dushku was born in Watertown , Massachusetts , the daughter of Philip Richard George Dushku , an administrator and teacher in the Boston Public Schools , and Judith Ann `` Judy '' Dushku ( née Rasmussen ) , a political science professor . Dushku 's father is an Albanian from the city of Korçë and her mother is of Danish and English descent . Dushku has three brothers , and was raised Mormon . She attended Beaver Country Day School in Chestnut Hill , Massachusetts , and graduated from Watertown High School . Career ( edit ) Early career ( edit ) Dushku came to the attention of casting agents when she was 10 . She was chosen in a five - month search for the lead role of Alice in the film That Night . In 1993 , Dushku landed a role as Pearl alongside Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio in This Boy 's Life , a role that she said opened a lot of doors . The following year , she played the teenage daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies . She had parts as Paul Reiser 's daughter in Bye Bye Love , as Cindy Johnson in Race the Sun , and roles in the television movie Journey and the short film Fishing with George . Buffy the Vampire Slayer ( edit ) Dushku intended to attend Suffolk University in Boston , where her mother taught at the time , but her agent asked her to submit a videotape audition for a show starring another of his clients , Sarah Michelle Gellar . After reading the script , Dushku rushed to a local Claire 's to purchase dark makeup and other appropriate accessories for the part , Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer . When she began her work on that series , Dushku was still a minor , and had to receive emancipation to work the production 's long hours . She later recalled with amusement that the judge who handled her emancipation case , who was an avid fan of that show , jokingly said that she would sign the emancipation order if she could get a signed photo from Dushku . After completing high school , Dushku returned to acting with the role of Faith Lehane on Buffy the Vampire Slayer , a Slayer much more troubled than the main character Buffy Summers . Though initially planned as a five - episode role , the character became so popular that she stayed on for the whole third season and returned for a two - part appearance in season four , after which the remainder of her original story arc was played out as part of the first season of the Buffy spin - off series Angel . Repentant and rededicated , Faith returned as a heroine in other episodes of Angel and in the last five episodes of Buffy . Dushku was inundated with piles of fan mail from legions of prisoners . She said : I 've been getting fan mail from maximum security penitentiaries and death row . What are the authorities thinking of in playing a show with young teenage girls to Death Row inmates ? They write everything -- disgusting things that you do n't even want to know about . And they send me pictures -- `` Oh , here 's a picture of me before I was incarcerated ! '' -- and there 's some guy sat on the sofa with a bottle of beer and a moustache , and a big gut . It 's so creepy . Way more creepy than Buffy . Subsequent roles ( edit ) Dushku at Wizard World Comic Con in Philadelphia ( May 2004 ) In 2000 , Dushku starred in the hit cheerleader comedy Bring It On . She followed that up with Soul Survivors , reuniting her with Race the Sun co-star Casey Affleck . In 2001 , she appeared in The New Guy with DJ Qualls and City by the Sea with Robert De Niro and James Franco .

In 2003 , Dushku starred in the horror film Wrong Turn and The Kiss , an independent comedy - drama . Starting that same year , she starred in a new Fox supernatural drama , Tru Calling , where she played the main character , medical student Tru Davies . After having a grant pulled out from under her , Tru is forced to take a job at a local morgue where she discovers her power to `` re-live '' the previous day over again if one of the deceased asks for her help to change what has happened . Dushku turned down a role in a spin - off of Buffy The Vampire Slayer which would have been about Faith . She has had many roles as a `` bad girl '' in movies and relishes the opportunities . In an interview with Maxim in May 2001 , Dushku says of her roles , `` It 's easy to play a bad girl : You just do everything you 've been told not to do , and you do n't have to deal with the consequences , because it 's only acting . '' Dushku starred in an Off - Broadway production entitled Dog Sees God from December 2005 , playing `` Van 's sister '' , a character paralleled with Lucy Van Pelt from the Peanuts comic strip on which the play production is based . She quit in February 2006 along with other members of the cast amidst rumors of abuse from the producer , which were latery - drama for Fox . This was the second Fox pilot in which she was cast , but not broadcast .

Dushku produced the show and played the main character , ' Echo ' , which aired on Fox during the 2008 -- 09 TV Season . In an interview , Dushku talked about how Dollhouse and her reconnection with Whedon came about : I invited Joss Whedon to lunch after I did the business deal with Fox . We 'd had a cool relationship in the past and I so wanted to do something else , and I wanted to get back into a television show . I had him on the brain for sure but I had n't called him yet , but I sort of took a leap of faith and set things up with Fox and then called Joss . We went to a four - hour lunch where I just sort of used my womanly wiles . No , we 've become such good friends , kind of like brother and sister and kind of like he was my watcher , my handler from when I first moved out to L.A. when I was 17 and I was a little bit of a wild child . He 's watched me and helped me and taught me over the years . I told him how bad I wanted and needed him back and he accepted and here we are . Dushku at a fashion event ( 2009 ) Dushku described Whedon as `` my favorite genius ... favorite friend ... big brother ... and the only person out here I 've ever wholeheartedly trusted , because he 's never let me down . '' Dollhouse was renewed for a second season . The producers cited their confidence in the strength of Joss Whedon 's fan base and high DVR numbers as their reasons for keeping the show . Fox cancelled Dollhouse on November 11 , 2009 . The show officially wrapped filming on the second and final season on December 16 , 2009 .

It also reached the top of the sales charts in Canada and elsewhere . Billboard ranked it as the No. 2 record overall for 1969 . The recording won both the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Group for the Grammy Awards of 1970 , after being published on the album The Age of Aquarius by the 5th Dimension , and also being released as a seven - inch vinyl single record . The lyrics of this song were based on the astrological belief that the world would soon be entering the `` Age of Aquarius '' , an age of love , light , and humanity , unlike the current `` Age of Pisces '' . The exact circumstances for the change are `` When the moon is in the seventh house , and Jupiter aligns with Mars . '' This change was presumed to occur at the end of the 20th century ; however , astrologers differ extremely widely as to when . Their proposed dates range from 2062 to 2680 . Astrologer Neil Spencer denounced the lyrics as `` astrological gibberish '' , noting that Jupiter forms an astrological aspect with Mars several times a year and the moon is in the 7th House for two hours every day . These lines are considered by many to be merely poetic license , though some people take them literally . The American Film Institute 's 100 Years ... 100 Songs list , published in 2004 , ranked `` Medley : Aquarius / Let the Sunshine In ( The Flesh Failures ) '' as number 33 .

The 48 - star flag was in effect for 47 years until the 49 - star version became official on July 4 , 1959 . The 50 - star flag was ordered by the then president Eisenhower on August 21 , 1959 , and was adopted in July 1960 . It is the longest - used version of the U.S. flag and has been in use for over 57 years . First flag Main article : Grand Union Flag The Continental Colors ( aka the `` Grand Union Flag '' ) Flag of the British East India Company , 1707 -- 1801 At the time of the Declaration of Independence in July 1776 , the Continental Congress would not legally adopt flags with `` stars , white in a blue field '' for another year . The flag contemporaneously known as `` the Continental Colors '' has historically been referred to as the first national flag . The Continental Navy raised the Colors as the ensign of the fledgling nation in the American War for Independence -- likely with the expedient of transforming their previous British red ensigns by adding white stripes -- and would use this flag until 1777 , when it would form the basis for the subsequent de jure designs . The name `` Grand Union '' was first applied to the Continental Colors by George Preble in his 1872 history of the U.S. flag . The flag closely resembles the British East India Company flag of the era , and Sir Charles Fawcett argued in 1937 that the company flag inspired the design . Both flags could have been easily constructed by adding white stripes to a British Red Ensign , one of the three maritime flags used throughout the British Empire at the time . However , an East India Company flag could have from nine to 13 stripes , and was not allowed to be flown outside the Indian Ocean . Benjamin Franklin once gave a speech endorsing the adoption of the Company 's flag by the United States as their national flag . He said to George Washington , `` While the field of your flag must be new in the details of its design , it need not be entirely new in its elements . There is already in use a flag , I refer to the flag of the East India Company . '' This was a way of symbolising American loyalty to the Crown as well as the United States ' aspirations to be self - governing , as was the East India Company . Some colonists also felt that the Company could be a powerful ally in the American War of Independence , as they shared similar aims and grievances against the British government tax policies . Colonists therefore flew the Company 's flag , to endorse the Company . However , the theory that the Grand Union Flag was a direct descendant of the flag of the East India Company has been criticised as lacking written evidence . On the other hand , the resemblance is obvious , and a number of the Founding Fathers of the United States were aware of the East India Company 's activities and of their free administration of India under Company rule . In any case , both the stripes ( barry ) and the stars ( mullets ) have precedents in classical heraldry . Mullets were comparatively rare in early modern heraldry , but an example of mullets representing territorial divisions predating the U.S. flag are those in the coat of arms of Valais of 1618 , where seven mullets stood for seven districts . The flag resolution of 1777 On June 14 , 1777 , the Second Continental Congress passed the Flag Resolution which stated : `` Resolved , That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes , alternate red and white ; that the union be thirteen stars , white in a blue field , representing a new constellation . '' Flag Day is now observed on June 14 of each year . While scholars still argue about this , tradition holds that the new flag was first hoisted in June 1777 by the Continental Army at the Middlebrook encampment . The first official U.S. flag flown during battle was on August 3 , 1777 , at Fort Schuyler ( Fort Stanwix ) during the Siege of Fort Stanwix . Massachusetts reinforcements brought news of the adoption by Congress of the official flag to Fort Schuyler . Soldiers cut up their shirts to make the white stripes ; scarlet material to form the red was secured from red flannel petticoats of officers ' wives , while material for the blue union was secured from Capt . Abraham Swartwout 's blue cloth coat . A voucher is extant that Capt . Swartwout of Dutchess County was paid by Congress for his coat for the flag . Francis Hopkinson 's flag for the U.S. Navy , featuring 13 six - pointed stars arranged in rows . 13 - star so - called `` Betsy Ross '' variant The 1777 resolution was most probably meant to define a naval ensign . In the late 18th century , the notion of a national flag did not yet exist , or was only nascent . The flag resolution appears between other resolutions from the Marine Committee . On May 10 , 1779 , Secretary of the Board of War Richard Peters expressed concern `` it is not yet settled what is the Standard of the United States . '' However , the term , `` Standard , '' referred to a national standard for the Army of the United States . Each regiment was to carry the national standard in addition to its regimental standard . The national standard was not a reference to the national or naval flag . The Flag Resolution did not specify any particular arrangement , number of points , nor orientation for the stars and the arrangement or whether the flag had to have seven red stripes and six white ones or vice versa . The appearance was up to the maker of the flag . Some flag makers arranged the stars into one big star , in a circle or in rows and some replaced a state 's star with its initial . One arrangement features 13 five - pointed stars arranged in a circle , with the stars arranged pointing outwards from the circle ( as opposed to up ) , the so - called Betsy Ross flag . This flag , however , is more likely a flag used for celebrations of anniversaries of the nation 's birthday . Experts have dated the earliest known example of this flag to be 1792 in a painting by John Trumbull . Despite the 1777 resolution , the early years of American independence featured many different flags . Most were individually crafted rather than mass - produced . While there are many examples of 13 - star arrangements , some of those flags included blue stripes as well as red and white . Benjamin Franklin and John Adams , in a letter dated October 3 , 1778 , to Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies , described the American flag as consisting of `` 13 stripes , alternately red , white , and blue , a small square in the upper angle , next the flag staff , is a blue field , with 13 white stars , denoting a new Constellation . '' John Paul Jones used a variety of 13 - star flags on his U.S. Navy ships including the well - documented 1779 flags of the Serapis and the Alliance . The Serapis flag had three rows of eight - pointed stars with stripes that were red , white , and blue . The flag for the Alliance , however , had five rows of eight - pointed stars with 13 red and white stripes , and the white stripes were on the outer edges . Both flags were documented by the Dutch government in October 1779 , making them two of the earliest known flags of 13 stars . Designer of the first stars and stripes Francis Hopkinson of New Jersey , a naval flag designer , and a signer of the Declaration of Independence , designed the 1777 flag while he was the Chairman of the Continental Navy Board 's Middle Department , sometime between his appointment to that position in November 1776 and the time that the flag resolution was adopted in June 1777 . The Navy Board was under the Continental Marine Committee . Not only did Hopkinson claim that he designed the U.S. flag , but he also claimed that he designed a flag for the U.S. Navy . Hopkinson was the only person to have made such a claim during his own lifetime , when he sent a letter and several bills to Congress for his work . These claims are documented in the Journals of the Continental Congress and George Hasting 's biography of Hopkinson . Hopkinson initially wrote a letter to Congress , via the Continental Board of Admiralty , on May 25 , 1780 . In this letter , he asked for a `` Quarter Cask of the Public Wine '' as payment for designing the U.S. flag , the seal for the Admiralty Board , the seal for the Treasury Board , Continental currency , the Great Seal of the United States , and other devices . However , in three subsequent bills to Congress , Hopkinson asked to be paid in cash , but he did not list his U.S. flag design . Instead , he asked to be paid for designing the `` great Naval Flag of the United States '' in the first bill ; the `` Naval Flag of the United States '' in the second bill ; and `` the Naval Flag of the States '' in the third , along with the other items . The flag references were generic terms for the naval ensign that Hopkinson had designed , that is , a flag of seven red stripes and six white ones . The predominance of red stripes made the naval flag more visible against the sky on a ship at sea . By contrast , Hopkinson 's flag for the United States had seven white stripes , and six red ones -- in reality , six red stripes laid on a white background . Hopkinson 's sketches have not been found , but we can make these conclusions because Hopkinson incorporated different stripe arrangements in the Admiralty ( naval ) Seal that he designed in the Spring of 1780 and the Great Seal of the United States that he proposed at the same time . His Admiralty Seal had seven red stripes ; whereas , his second U.S. Seal proposal had seven white ones . Hopkinson 's flag for the Navy is the one that the Nation preferred as the national flag . Remnants of Hopkinson 's U.S. flag of seven white stripes can be found in the Great Seal of the United States and the President 's seal . When Hopkinson was chairman of the Navy Board , his position was like that of today 's Secretary of the Navy . The payment was not made , however , because it was determined he had already received a salary as a member of Congress . This contradicts the legend of the Betsy Ross flag , which suggests that she sewed the first Stars and Stripes flag by request of the government in the Spring of 1776 . Furthermore , a letter from the War Board to George Washington on May 10 , 1779 , documents that there was still no design established for a national flag for the Army 's use in battle . The origin of the stars and stripes design has been muddled by a story disseminated by the descendants of Betsy Ross . The apocryphal story credits Betsy Ross for sewing the first flag from a pencil sketch handed to her by George Washington . No evidence for this exists either in the diaries of George Washington nor in the records of the Continental Congress . Indeed , nearly a century passed before Ross ' grandson , William Canby , first publicly suggested the story in 1870 . By her family 's own admission , Ross ran an upholstery business , and she had never made a flag as of the supposed visit in June 1776 . Furthermore , her grandson admitted that his own search through the Journals of Congress and other official records failed to find corroboration of his grandmother 's story . The family of Rebecca Young claimed that she sewed the first flag . Young 's daughter was Mary Pickersgill , who made the Star Spangled Banner Flag . According to rumor , the Washington family coat of arms , shown in a 15th - century window of Selby Abbey , was the origin of the stars and stripes . Later flag acts 15 - star , 15 - stripe Star Spangled Banner Flag The 48 - star flag was in use from 1912 to 1959 , the second longest - used U.S. flag . The current U.S. flag is the longest - used flag , having surpassed the 1912 version in 2007 . See also : Flag Acts ( U.S. ) In 1795 , the number of stars and stripes was increased from 13 to 15 ( to reflect the entry of Vermont and Kentucky as states of the Union ) . For a time the flag was not changed when subsequent states were admitted , probably because it was thought that this would cause too much clutter . It was the 15 - star , 15 - stripe flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write `` Defence of Fort M'Henry '' , later known as `` The Star Spangled Banner '' , which is now the American national anthem . The flag is currently on display in the exhibition , `` The Star - Spangled Banner : The Flag That Inspired the National Anthem '' at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History in a two - story display chamber that protects the flag while it is on view . Oil painting depicting the 39 historical U.S. flags On April 4 , 1818 , a plan was passed by Congress at the suggestion of U.S. Naval Captain Samuel C. Reid in which the flag was changed to have 20 stars , with a new star to be added when each new state was admitted , but the number of stripes would be reduced to 13 so as to honor the original colonies . The act specified that new flag designs should become official on the first July 4 ( Independence Day ) following admission of one or more new states . The most recent change , from 49 stars to 50 , occurred in 1960 when the present design was chosen , after Hawaii gained statehood in August 1959 . Before that , the admission of Alaska in January 1959 prompted the debut of a short - lived 49 - star flag . Prior to the adoption of the 48 - star flag in 1912 , there was no official arrangement of the stars in the canton , although the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy used standardized designs . Throughout the 19th century there was an abundance of different star patterns , rectangular and circular . On July 4 , 2007 , the 50 - star flag became the version of the flag in longest use , surpassing the 48 - star flag that was used from 1912 to 1959 . The `` flower flag '' arrives in asia The U.S. flag was brought to the city of Canton ( Guǎngzhōu ) in China in 1784 by the merchant ship Empress of China , which carried a cargo of ginseng . There it gained the designation `` Flower Flag '' ( Chinese : 花旗 ; pinyin : huāqí ; Cantonese Yale : fākeì ) . According to a pseudonymous account first published in the Boston Courier and later retold by author and U.S. naval officer George H. Preble : When the thirteen stripes and stars first appeared at Canton , much curiosity was excited among the people . News was circulated that a strange ship had arrived from the further end of the world , bearing a flag `` as beautiful as a flower '' . Every body went to see the kwa kee chuen ( 花旗 船 ; Fākeìsyùhn ) , or `` flower flagship '' . This name at once established itself in the language , and America is now called the kwa kee kwoh ( 花旗 國 ; Fākeìgwok ) , the `` flower flag country '' -- and an American , kwa kee kwoh yin ( 花旗 國人 ; Fākeìgwokyàhn ) -- `` flower flag countryman '' -- a more complimentary designation than that of `` red headed barbarian '' -- the name first bestowed upon the Dutch . In the above quote , the Chinese words are written phonetically based on spoken Cantonese . The names given were common usage in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries . Vietnam has borrowed the term for the United States , as Hoa Kỳ or 花旗 ( `` Flower Flag '' ) in Vietnamese language . Chinese now refer to the United States as simplified Chinese : 美国 ; traditional Chinese : 美國 ; pinyin : Měiguó . Měi is short for Měilìjiān ( simplified Chinese : 美利坚 ; traditional Chinese : 美利堅 , phono - semantic matching of `` American '' ) and `` guó '' means `` country '' , so this name is unrelated to the flag . However , the `` flower flag '' terminology persists in some places today : for example , American Ginseng is called flower flag ginseng ( simplified Chinese : 花旗 参 ; traditional Chinese : 花旗 參 ) in Chinese , and Citibank , which opened a branch in China in 1902 , is known as Flower Flag Bank ( 花旗 银行 ) . The U.S. flag took its first trip around the world in 1787 -- 90 on board the Columbia . William Driver , who coined the phrase `` Old Glory '' , took the U.S. flag around the world in 1831 -- 32 . The flag attracted the notice of Japanese when an oversized version was carried to Yokohama by the steamer Great Republic as part of a round - the - world journey in 1871 .

Above is one possible design for a 51 - star flag . In the November 2012 U.S. election , Puerto Rico voted to become a U.S. state . However , the legitimacy of the result of this election was disputed . On June 11 , 2017 , another referendum was held , this time with the result that 97 % of voters in Puerto Rico voted for statehood , but it had a turnout of only 23 % . Similarly in November 2016 , a statehood referendum was held in the District of Columbia where 86 % of voters approved the proposal . If a new U.S. state were to be admitted , it would require a new design on the flag to accommodate the additional star . Symbolism The modern signficance of the flag was forged in April 1861 , when Major Robert Anderson defended Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor . The Confederates shot at the Fort Sumter Flag and forced Anderson to surrender . The modern meaning of the flag was forged by Anderson 's stand at Fort Sumter ; he was celebrated in the North as a hero . Harold Holzer states that New York City : responded with a `` feast of the American flag . '' Eyewitnesses estimated that as many as 100,000 flags quickly went on display across the city . To punctuate this feast of national colors , New York 's graphic artists rushed out patriotic engravings and lithographs depicting avenging soldiers or gowned goddesses , bayonets upthrust , carrying `` The Flag of Our Union '' into future battles ... Composers dedicated songs like `` Our Countries Flag '' to President Lincoln , and adorned their published sheet music with colorful images of resolute soldiers gripping the national banner . Adam Goodheart argues that after this opening event of the American Civil War , American citizens throughout northern states co-opted the national flag to symbolize U.S. nationalism and rejection of secessionism . Before that day , the flag had served mostly as a military ensign or a convenient marking of American territory , flown from forts , embassies , and ships , and displayed on special occasions like American Independence day . But in the weeks after Major Anderson 's surprising stand , it became something different . Suddenly the Stars and Stripes flew -- as it does today , and especially as it did after the September 11 attacks in 2001 -- from houses , from storefronts , from churches ; above the village greens and college quads . For the first time American flags were mass - produced rather than individually stitched and even so , manufacturers could not keep up with demand . As the long winter of 1861 turned into spring , that old flag meant something new . The abstraction of the Union cause was transfigured into a physical thing : strips of cloth that millions of people would fight for , and many thousands die for . -- Adam Goodheart . American flag being burned in protest on the eve of the 2008 election . The flag of the United States is one of the nation 's most widely recognized symbols . Within the United States , flags are frequently displayed not only on public buildings but on private residences . The flag is a common motif on decals for car windows , and on clothing ornamentation such as badges and lapel pins . Throughout the world the flag has been used in public discourse to refer to the United States . The flag has become a powerful symbol of Americanism , and is flown on many occasions , with giant outdoor flags used by retail outlets to draw customers . Reverence for the flag has at times reached religion - like fervor : in 1919 William Norman Guthrie 's book The Religion of Old Glory discussed `` the cult of the flag '' and formally proposed vexillolatry . Desecration of the flag is considered a public outrage , but remains protected as free speech . Scholars have noted the irony that `` ( t ) he flag is so revered because it represents the land of the free , and that freedom includes the ability to use or abuse that flag in protest '' . Comparing practice worldwide , Testi noted in 2010 that the United States was not unique in adoring its banner , for the flags of Scandinavian countries are also `` beloved , domesticated , commercialized and sacralized objects '' . Design Creation The man credited with designing the current 50 star American flag was Robert G. Heft . He was 17 years old at the time and created the flag design in 1958 as a high school class project while living with his grandparents in Ohio . He received a B − on the project . According to Heft , his history teacher honored their agreement to change his grade to an A after his design was selected . Specifications The basic design of the current flag is specified by 4 U.S.C. § 1 ; 4 U.S.C. § 2 outlines the addition of new stars to represent new states . The specification gives the following values : Hoist ( height ) of the flag : A = 1.0 Fly ( width ) of the flag : B = 1.9 Hoist ( height ) of the canton ( `` union '' ) : C = 0.5385 ( A × 7 / 13 , spanning seven stripes ) Fly ( width ) of the canton : D = 0.76 ( B × 2 / 5 , two - fifths of the flag width ) E = F = 0.0538 ( C / 10 , One - tenth of the height of the canton ) G = H = 0.0633 ( D / 12 , One twelfth of the width of the canton ) Diameter of star : K = 0.0616 ( L × 4 / 5 , four - fifths of the stripe width , the calculation only gives 0.0616 if L is first rounded to 0.077 ) Width of stripe : L = 0.0769 ( A / 13 , One thirteenth of the flag height ) These specifications are contained in an executive order which , strictly speaking , governs only flags made for or by the U.S. federal government . In practice , most U.S. national flags available for sale to the public have a different width - to - height ratio ; common sizes are 2 × 3 ft. or 4 × 6 ft. ( flag ratio 1.5 ) , 2.5 × 4 ft. or 5 × 8 ft. ( 1.6 ) , or 3 × 5 ft. or 6 × 10 ft. ( 1.667 ) . Even flags flown over the U.S. Capitol for sale to the public through Representatives or Senators are provided in these sizes . Flags that are made to the prescribed 1.9 ratio are often referred to as `` G - spec '' ( for `` government specification '' ) flags . Colors The exact red , white , and blue colors to be used in the flag are specified with reference to the CAUS Standard Color Reference of America , 10th edition . Specifically , the colors are `` White '' , `` Old Glory Red '' , and `` Old Glory Blue '' . The CIE coordinates for the colors of the 9th edition of the Standard Color Card were formally specified in JOSA in 1946 . These colors form the standard for cloth , and there is no perfect way to convert them to RGB for display on screen or CMYK for printing . The `` relative '' coordinates in the following table were found by scaling the luminous reflectance relative to the flag 's `` white '' .

The practice of using more saturated colors than the official cloth is not new . As Taylor , Knoche , and Granville wrote in 1950 : `` The color of the official wool bunting ( of the blue field ) is a very dark blue , but printed reproductions of the flag , as well as merchandise supposed to match the flag , present the color as a deep blue much brighter than the official wool . '' Sometimes , Pantone Matching System ( PMS ) approximations to the flag colors are used . One set was given on the website of the U.S. embassy in London as early as 1998 ; the website of the U.S. embassy in Stockholm claimed in 2001 that those had been suggested by Pantone , and that the U.S. Government Printing Office preferred a different set . A third red was suggested by a California Military Department document in 2002 . In 2001 , the Texas legislature specified that the colors of the Texas flag should be `` ( 1 ) the same colors used in the United States flag ; and ( 2 ) defined as numbers 193 ( red ) and 281 ( dark blue ) of the Pantone Matching System .

The 49 - and 50 - star unions A U.S. flag with gold fringe and a gold eagle on top of the flag pole . When Alaska and Hawaii were being considered for statehood in the 1950s , more than 1,500 designs were submitted to President Dwight D. Eisenhower . Although some of them were 49 - star versions , the vast majority were 50 - star proposals . At least three of these designs were identical to the present design of the 50 - star flag . At the time , credit was given by the executive department to the United States Army Institute of Heraldry for the design . Of these proposals , one created by 17 - year - old Robert G. Heft in 1958 as a school project received the most publicity . His mother was a seamstress , but refused to do any of the work for him . He originally received a B -- for the project . After discussing the grade with his teacher , it was agreed ( somewhat jokingly ) that if the flag was accepted by Congress , the grade would be reconsidered . Heft 's flag design was chosen and adopted by presidential proclamation after Alaska and before Hawaii was admitted into the Union in 1959 . According to Heft , his teacher did keep to their agreement and changed his grade to an A for the project . The 49 - and 50 - star flags were each flown for the first time at Fort McHenry on Independence Day , in 1959 and 1960 respectively . Decoration Traditionally , the flag may be decorated with golden fringe surrounding the perimeter of the flag as long as it does not deface the flag proper . Ceremonial displays of the flag , such as those in parades or on indoor posts , often use fringe to enhance the appearance of the flag . The first recorded use of fringe on a flag dates from 1835 , and the Army used it officially in 1895 . No specific law governs the legality of fringe , but a 1925 opinion of the attorney general addresses the use of fringe ( and the number of stars ) `` ... is at the discretion of the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy ... '' as quoted from footnote in previous volumes of Title 4 of the United States Code law books and is a source for claims that such a flag is a military ensign not civilian . However , according to the Army Institute of Heraldry , which has official custody of the flag designs and makes any change ordered , there are no implications of symbolism in the use of fringe . Several federal courts have upheld this conclusion , most recently and forcefully in Colorado v. Drew , a Colorado Court of Appeals judgment that was released in May 2010 . Traditionally , the Army and Air Force use a fringed National Color for parade , color guard and indoor display , while the Sea Services ( Navy , Marine Corps and Coast Guard ) use a fringeless National Color for all occasions . Display and use A boy holds an American flag during the 2009 National Memorial Day Concert in Washington , D.C. The flag is customarily flown year - round at most public buildings , and it is not unusual to find private houses flying full - size ( 3 by 5 feet ( 0.91 by 1.52 m ) ) flags . Some private use is year - round , but becomes widespread on civic holidays like Memorial Day , Veterans Day , Presidents ' Day , Flag Day , and on Independence Day . On Memorial Day it is common to place small flags by war memorials and next to the graves of U.S. war veterans . Also on Memorial Day it is common to fly the flag at half staff , until noon , in remembrance of those who lost their lives fighting in U.S. wars . Flag etiquette Main article : United States Flag Code The proper stationary vertical display . The canton ( blue box of stars ) should always be in the upper - left corner . The United States Flag Code outlines certain guidelines for the use , display , and disposal of the flag . For example , the flag should never be dipped to any person or thing , unless it is the ensign responding to a salute from a ship of a foreign nation . This tradition may come from the 1908 Summer Olympics in London , where countries were asked to dip their flag to King Edward VII : the American flag bearer did not . Team captain Martin Sheridan is famously quoted as saying `` this flag dips to no earthly king '' , though the true provenance of this quotation is unclear . A tattered flag at Spokane Valley Police Headquarters , Spokane , Washington The flag should never be allowed to touch the ground and , if flown at night , must be illuminated . If the edges become tattered through wear , the flag should be repaired or replaced . When a flag is so tattered that it can no longer serve as a symbol of the United States , it should be destroyed in a dignified manner , preferably by burning . The American Legion and other organizations regularly conduct flag retirement ceremonies , often on Flag Day , June 14 . ( The Boy Scouts of America recommends that modern nylon or polyester flags be recycled instead of burned , due to hazardous gases being produced when such materials are burned . ) LDS Boy Scouts retiring an American Flag at a scout campout The Flag Code prohibits using the flag `` for any advertising purpose '' and also states that the flag `` should not be embroidered , printed , or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions , handkerchiefs , napkins , boxes , or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use '' . Both of these codes are generally ignored , almost always without comment . Section 8 , entitled Respect For Flag states in part : `` The flag should never be used as wearing apparel , bedding , or drapery '' , and `` No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform '' . Section 3 of the Flag Code defines `` the flag '' as anything `` by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag of the United States of America '' . An additional part of Section 8 Respect For Flag , that is frequently violated at sporting events is part ( c ) `` The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally , but always aloft and free . '' Although the Flag Code is U.S. federal law , there is no penalty for a private citizen or group failing to comply with the Flag Code and it is not widely enforced -- indeed , punitive enforcement would conflict with the First Amendment right to freedom of speech . Passage of the proposed Flag Desecration Amendment would overrule legal precedent that has been established . Display on vehicles When the flag is affixed to the right side of a vehicle of any kind ( e.g. : cars , boats , planes , any physical object that moves ) , it should be oriented so that the canton is towards the front of the vehicle , as if the flag were streaming backwards from its hoist as the vehicle moves forward . Therefore , U.S. flag decals on the right sides of vehicles may appear to be reversed , with the union to the observer 's right instead of left as more commonly seen . The flag has been displayed on every U.S. spacecraft designed for manned flight , including Mercury , Gemini , Apollo Command / Service Module , Apollo Lunar Module , and the Space Shuttle . The flag also appeared on the S - IC first stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle used for Apollo . But since Mercury , Gemini , and Apollo were launched and landed vertically and were not capable of horizontal atmospheric flight as the Space Shuttle did on its landing approach , the `` streaming '' convention was not followed and these flags were oriented with the stripes running horizontally , perpendicular to the direction of flight . Display on uniforms The crew of Apollo 1 wore their flags on the right shoulder , unlike all other US astronaut flight crews Flag of the United States on American astronaut Neil Armstrong 's space suit Astronaut Buzz Aldrin salutes the United States flag on the surface of the moon during the Apollo 11 mission . On some U.S. military uniforms , flag patches are worn on the right shoulder , following the vehicle convention with the union toward the front . This rule dates back to the Army 's early history , when both mounted cavalry and infantry units would designate a standard bearer , who carried the Colors into battle . As he charged , his forward motion caused the flag to stream back . Since the Stars and Stripes are mounted with the canton closest to the pole , that section stayed to the right , while the stripes flew to the left . Several US military uniforms , such as flight suits worn by members of the United States Air Force and Navy , have the flag patch on the left shoulder . Other organizations that wear flag patches on their uniforms can have the flag facing in either direction . The congressional charter of the Boy Scouts of America stipulates that Boy Scout uniforms should not imitate U.S. military uniforms ; consequently , the flags are displayed on the right shoulder with the stripes facing front , the reverse of the military style . Law enforcement officers often wear a small flag patch , either on a shoulder , or above a shirt pocket . Every U.S. astronaut since the crew of Gemini 4 has worn the flag on the left shoulder of his or her space suit , with the exception of the crew of Apollo 1 , whose flags were worn on the right shoulder . In this case , the canton was on the left . Postage stamps Flags depicted on U.S. postage stamp issues The flag did not appear on U.S. postal stamp issues until the Battle of White Plains Issue was released in 1926 , depicting the flag with a circle of 13 stars . The 48 - star flag first appeared on the General Casimir Pulaski issue of 1931 , though in a small monochrome depiction . The first U.S. postage stamp to feature the flag as the sole subject was issued July 4 , 1957 , Scott catalog number 1094 . Since that time the flag has frequently appeared on U.S. stamps . Display in museums In 1907 Eben Appleton , New York stockbroker and grandson of Lieutenant Colonel George Armistead ( the commander of Fort McHenry during the 1814 bombardment ) loaned the Star Spangled Banner Flag to the Smithsonian Institution , and in 1912 he converted the loan to a gift . Appleton donated the flag with the wish that it would always be on view to the public . In 1994 , the National Museum of American History determined that the Star Spangled Banner Flag required further conservation treatment to remain on public display . In 1998 teams of museum conservators , curators , and other specialists helped move the flag from its home in the Museum 's Flag Hall into a new conservation laboratory . Following the reopening of the National Museum of American History on November 21 , 2008 , the flag is now on display in a special exhibition , `` The Star - Spangled Banner : The Flag That Inspired the National Anthem , '' where it rests at a 10 degree angle in dim light for conservation purposes . Places of continuous display By presidential proclamation , acts of Congress , and custom , U.S. flags are displayed continuously at certain locations . Replicas of the Star Spangled Banner Flag ( 15 stars , 15 stripes ) are flown at two sites in Baltimore , Maryland : Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine and Flag House Square . Marine Corps War Memorial ( Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima ) , Arlington , Virginia . The Battle Green in Lexington , Massachusetts , site of the first shots fired in the Revolution The White House , Washington , D.C. Fifty U.S. flags are displayed continuously at the Washington Monument , Washington , D.C.

On the Moon : six manned missions successfully landed at various locations and each had a flag raised at the site . Exhaust gases when the Ascent Stage launched to return the astronauts to their Command Module Columbia for return to Earth blew over the flag the Apollo 11 mission had placed . Particular days for display Flags covering the National Mall The New York Stock Exchange at Christmas time . The flag should especially be displayed at full staff on the following days : January : 1 ( New Year 's Day ) , third Monday of the month ( Martin Luther King Jr . Day ) , and 20 ( Inauguration Day , once every four years , which , by tradition , is postponed to the 21st if the 20th falls on a Sunday ) February : 12 ( Lincoln 's birthday ) and the third Monday ( legally known as Washington 's Birthday but more often called Presidents ' Day ) March -- April : Easter Sunday ( date varies ) May : Second Sunday ( Mothers Day ) , third Saturday ( Armed Forces Day ) , and last Monday ( Memorial Day ; half - staff until noon ) June : 14 ( Flag Day ) , third Sunday ( Fathers Day ) July : 4 ( Independence Day ) and 27 ( National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day ) September : First Monday ( Labor Day ) , 17 ( Constitution Day ) , and last Sunday ( Gold Star Mother 's Day ) October : Second Monday ( Columbus Day ) and 27 ( Navy Day ) November : 11 ( Veterans Day ) and fourth Thursday ( Thanksgiving Day ) December : 25 ( Christmas Day ) and such other days as may be proclaimed by the President of the United States ; the birthdays of states ( date of admission ) ; and on state holidays . Display at half - staff An American flag now flies over Gate 17 of Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark , New Jersey , departure gate of United Airlines Flight 93 on 9 / 11 . The flag is displayed at half - staff ( half - mast in naval usage ) as a sign of respect or mourning . Nationwide , this action is proclaimed by the president ; statewide or territory - wide , the proclamation is made by the governor . In addition , there is no prohibition against municipal governments , private businesses or citizens flying the flag at half - staff as a local sign of respect and mourning . However , many flag enthusiasts feel this type of practice has somewhat diminished the meaning of the original intent of lowering the flag to honor those who held high positions in federal or state offices . President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first proclamation on March 1 , 1954 , standardizing the dates and time periods for flying the flag at half - staff from all federal buildings , grounds , and naval vessels ; other congressional resolutions and presidential proclamations ensued . However , they are only guidelines to all other entities : typically followed at state and local government facilities , and encouraged of private businesses and citizens . To properly fly the flag at half - staff , one should first briefly hoist it top of the staff , then lower it to the half - staff position , halfway between the top and bottom of the staff . Similarly , when the flag is to be lowered from half - staff , it should be first briefly hoisted to the top of the staff . Federal statutes provide that the flag should be flown at half - staff on the following dates : May 15 : Peace Officers Memorial Day ( unless it is the third Saturday in May , Armed Forces Day , then full - staff ) Last Monday in May : Memorial Day ( until noon ) September 11 : Patriot Day First Sunday in October : Start of Fire Prevention Week , in honor of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service . December 7 : National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day For 30 days : Death of a president or former president For 10 days : Death of a vice president , Supreme Court chief justice / retired chief justice , or speaker of the House of Representatives . From death until the day of interment : Supreme Court associate justice , member of the Cabinet , former vice president , president pro tempore of the Senate , or the majority and minority leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives . Also for federal facilities within a state or territory , for the governor . On the day after the death : Senators , members of Congress , territorial delegates or the resident commissioner of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day , on July 27 , was formerly a day of half - staff observance until the law expired in 2003 . In 2009 , it became a day of full - staff observance . Folding for storage Folding the U.S. flag Though not part of the official Flag Code , according to military custom , flags should be folded into a triangular shape when not in use . To properly fold the flag : Begin by holding it waist - high with another person so that its surface is parallel to the ground . Fold the lower half of the stripe section lengthwise over the field of stars , holding the bottom and top edges securely . Fold the flag again lengthwise with the blue field on the outside . Make a rectangular fold then a triangular fold by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge to meet the open top edge of the flag , starting the fold from the left side over to the right . Turn the outer end point inward , parallel to the open edge , to form a second triangle . The triangular folding is continued until the entire length of the flag is folded in this manner ( usually thirteen triangular folds , as shown at right ) . On the final fold , any remnant that does not neatly fold into a triangle ( or in the case of exactly even folds , the last triangle ) is tucked into the previous fold . When the flag is completely folded , only a triangular blue field of stars should be visible . There is also no specific meaning for each fold of the flag . However , there are scripts read by non-government organizations and also by the Air Force that are used during the flag folding ceremony . These scripts range from historical timelines of the flag to religious themes . Use in funerals A flag prepared for presentation to the next of kin Traditionally , the flag of the United States plays a role in military funerals , and occasionally in funerals of other civil servants ( such as law enforcement officers , fire fighters , and U.S. presidents ) . A burial flag is draped over the deceased 's casket as a pall during services . Just prior to the casket being lowered into the ground , the flag is ceremonially folded and presented to the deceased 's next of kin as a token of respect .

( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The flag of Bikini Atoll is symbolic of the islanders ' belief that a great debt is still owed to the people of Bikini because in 1954 the United States government detonated a thermonuclear bomb on the island as part of the Castle Bravo test . The flag of Liberia bears a close resemblance , showing the ex-American - slave origin of the country . The Liberian flag has 11 similar red and white stripes , which stand for the 11 signers of the Liberian Declaration of Independence , as well as a blue square with only a single large white star for the canton . The flag of Liberia is the only flag in the world that was modeled after and resembles the American flag because Liberia was the only nation in the world that was founded , colonized , established , and controlled by freed African American and ex-caribbean slaves as settlers who came from the United States and the Caribbean islands as a homeland to live , with the help and support from the American Colonization Society on January 7 , 1822 . Despite Malaysia having no historical connections with the U.S. , the flag of Malaysia greatly resembles the U.S. flag . It is possible that the flag of the British East India Company influenced both the Malaysian and U.S. flag . The flag of El Salvador from 1865 to 1912 . A different flag was in use , based on the flag of the United States , with a field of alternating blue and white stripes and a red canton containing white stars . The flag of Brittany was inspired in part by the American flag .

Although the diagram in Executive Order 10834 gives a ratio of 1.9 , earlier in the order is a list of flag sizes authorized for executive agencies . This list permits eleven specific flag sizes ( specified by height and width ) for such agencies : 20.00 × 38.00 ; 10.00 × 19.00 ; 8.95 × 17.00 ; 7.00 × 11.00 ; 5.00 × 9.50 ; 4.33 × 5.50 ; 3.50 × 6.65 ; 3.00 × 4.00 ; 3.00 × 5.70 ; 2.37 × 4.50 ; and 1.32 × 2.50 . Eight of these sizes conform to the 1.9 ratio , within a small rounding error ( less than 0.01 ) . However , three of the authorized sizes vary significantly : 1.57 ( for 7.00 × 11.00 ) , 1.27 ( for 4.33 × 5.50 ) and 1.33 ( for 3.00 × 4.00 ) . Jump up ^ Ex . Ord .

"The flag of the United States of America, often referred to as the American flag, is the national flag of the United States. It consists of thirteen equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton (referred to specifically as the \"union\") bearing fifty small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows, where rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternate with rows of five stars. The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 states of the United States of America, and the 13 stripes represent the thirteen British colonies that declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and became the first states in the U.S.[1] Nicknames for the flag include the Stars and Stripes,[2] Old Glory,[3] and the Star-Spangled Banner."

( June 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The term suspension of disbelief or willing suspension of disbelief has been defined as a willingness to suspend one 's critical faculties and believe something surreal ; sacrifice of realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment . The term was coined in 1817 by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge , who suggested that if a writer could infuse a `` human interest and a semblance of truth '' into a fantastic tale , the reader would suspend judgement concerning the implausibility of the narrative . Suspension of disbelief often applies to fictional works of the action , comedy , fantasy , and horror genres . Cognitive estrangement in fiction involves using a person 's ignorance to promote suspension of disbelief . The phrase `` suspension of disbelief '' came to be used more loosely in the later 20th century , often used to imply that the burden was on the reader , rather than the writer , to achieve it . This might be used to refer to the willingness of the audience to overlook the limitations of a medium , so that these do not interfere with the acceptance of those premises . These premises may also lend to the engagement of the mind and perhaps proposition of thoughts , ideas , art and theories . Suspension of disbelief is often an essential element for a magic act or a circus sideshow act . For example , an audience is not expected to actually believe that a woman is cut in half or transforms into a gorilla in order to enjoy the performance . According to the theory , suspension of disbelief is an essential ingredient for any kind of storytelling . With any film , the viewer has to ignore the reality that they are viewing a staged performance and temporarily accept it as their reality in order to be entertained . Black - and - white films provide an obvious early example that audiences are willing to suspend disbelief , no matter how unplausible the images appear , for the sake of entertainment . With the exception of totally color blind people ( achromats ) , no person viewing these films sees the real world without color , but some are still willing to suspend disbelief and accept the images in order to be entertained . Suspension of disbelief is also supposed to be essential for the enjoyment of many films and television shows involving complex stunts , special effects , and seemingly unrealistic plots and characterizations . Contents ( hide ) 1 Coleridge 's original formulation 2 Examples in literature 3 Psychology 4 Criticisms 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Coleridge 's original formulation ( edit ) Coleridge coined the phrase in his Biographia Literaria , published in 1817 , in the context of the creation and reading of poetry . Chapter XIV describes the preparations with Wordsworth for their revolutionary collaboration Lyrical Ballads ( first edition 1798 ) , for which Coleridge had contributed the more romantic , gothic pieces including The Rime of the Ancient Mariner . Poetry and fiction involving the supernatural had gone out of fashion to a large extent in the 18th century , in part due to the declining belief in witches and other supernatural agents among the educated classes , who embraced the rational approach to the world offered by the new science . Alexander Pope , notably , felt the need to explain and justify his use of elemental spirits in The Rape of the Lock , one of the few English poems of the century that invoked the supernatural . Coleridge wished to revive the use of fantastic elements in poetry . The concept of `` willing suspension of disbelief '' explained how a modern , enlightened audience might continue to enjoy such types of story . Coleridge recalled : `` ... It was agreed , that my endeavours should be directed to persons and characters supernatural , or at least romantic , yet so as to transfer from our inward nature a human interest and a semblance of truth sufficient to procure for these shadows of imagination that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment , which constitutes poetic faith . Mr. Wordsworth on the other hand was to propose to himself as his object , to give the charm of novelty to things of every day , and to excite a feeling analogous to the supernatural , by awakening the mind 's attention from the lethargy of custom , and directing it to the loveliness and the wonders of the world before us ... '' The notion of such an action by an audience was however recognized in antiquity , as seen particularly in the Roman theoretical concerns of Horace , who also lived in an age of increasing skepticism about the supernatural , in his Ars Poetica . Examples in literature ( edit ) See also : Dramatic convention Suspension of disbelief is sometimes said to be an essential component of live theater , where it was recognized by Shakespeare , who refers to it in the Prologue to Henry V : `` ( ... ) make imaginary puissance ( ... ) ' tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings ( ... ) turning the accomplishment of many years into an hourglass . '' Psychology ( edit ) Psychological critic Norman Holland points to a neuroscientific explanation . When we hear or watch any narrative , our brains go wholly into perceiving mode , turning off the systems for acting or planning to act , and with them go our systems for assessing reality . We have , in Coleridge 's second , more accurate phrase , `` poetic faith '' . That 's why humans have such trouble recognizing lies : they first believe , then have to make a conscious effort to disbelieve . Only when we stop perceiving to think about what we have seen or heard , only then do we assess its truth - value . If we are really `` into '' the fiction -- `` transported '' , in the psychologists ' term -- we are , as Immanuel Kant pointed out long ago , `` disinterested '' . We respond aesthetically , without purpose . We do n't judge the truth of what we 're perceiving , even though if we stop being transported and think about it , we know quite well it 's a fiction . Suspension of disbelief has also been used within a mental health context by Frank DeFulgentis in his book Flux . It is an attempt to describe the phenomenon of forgetting irrational thoughts associated with cases of OCD . In the book , the author suggests ' suspending disbelief ' as opposed to forcing ourselves to forget ; similar to how one would put a virus in quarantine . We can thereby allow ourselves to be absorbed in the activities around us until these irrationalities vanish on their own accord . Criticisms ( edit ) Aesthetic philosophers generally reject claims that suspension of disbelief accurately characterizes the relationship between people and `` fictions . '' Kendall Walton notes that , if viewers were to truly suspend disbelief at a horror movie and accept its images as absolute fact , they would have a true - to - life set of reactions . For instance , audience members would cry out , `` Look behind you ! '' to an endangered on - screen character or call the police when they witnessed an on - screen murder . However , many of these criticisms simply fail to notice that Coleridge 's original statement came in a restrictive clause . The formulation `` ... that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment which constitutes poetic faith , '' of necessity implies that there are different sorts of suspension of disbelief and specifies that poetic faith is one instance of a larger class . One need not choose to believe that a character in a horror film is a real person in order , for example , to choose to believe that the character is looking at the building seen in the following reverse - shot . Not all authors believe that suspension of the disbelief adequately characterizes the audience 's relationship to imaginative works of art . J.R.R. Tolkien challenges this concept in his essay `` On Fairy - Stories '' , choosing instead the paradigm of secondary belief based on inner consistency of reality . Tolkien says that , in order for the narrative to work , the reader must believe that what he reads is true within the secondary reality of the fictional world . By focusing on creating an internally consistent fictional world , the author makes secondary belief possible . Tolkien argues that suspension of disbelief is only necessary when the work has failed to create secondary belief . From that point the spell is broken , and the reader ceases to be immersed in the story and must make a conscious effort to suspend disbelief or else give up on it entirely .

About Wikipedia | who coined the term willing suspension of disbelief | [
"The term suspension of disbelief or willing suspension of disbelief has been defined as a willingness to suspend one's critical faculties and believe something surreal; sacrifice of realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment.[1] The term was coined in 1817 by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who suggested that if a writer could infuse a \"human interest and a semblance of truth\" into a fantastic tale, the reader would suspend judgement concerning the implausibility of the narrative. Suspension of disbelief often applies to fictional works of the action, comedy, fantasy, and horror genres. Cognitive estrangement in fiction involves using a person's ignorance to promote suspension of disbelief.[citation needed]"

Although Hennessy was unable to read or write due to severe dyslexia , he still wrote his own songs such as `` Roll back the Clouds '' and `` All the lies that you told me '' . He sang `` All the lies that you told me '' with his daughter Hermione , but the song was made famous by Frances Black rather than Hennessy and his daughter . Contents 1 Early life 2 Career 3 Death 4 Discography 4.1 Albums 4.2 Singles 5 References Early Life ( edit ) Hennessy was born in Tralee , County Kerry , Ireland . His first guitar was made , especially for him , from a tea chest when he was six years old by his friend Jerry Quirke . He left school at the age of eleven and a half . His first job was as a messenger boy , and it was then that he discovered that it was important to be able to read . He was unable to read or write due to severe dyslexia , but still enjoyed his library of books . He later worked on building sites in London . Career ( edit ) In 1972 he released his first record , The Green Album , on Westwood , a small label . With scant publicity or promotion , the album made little impact and only 500 copies of the record were pressed . Hennessy returned to labouring on building sites in the UK and did not release another album for twenty years . When he did , his 1992 release The Rehearsal outsold U2 in Ireland , eventually attaining triple platinum status . His following albums , A Year in the Life and Box also sold extremely well in Ireland . A renowned songwriter as well as performer , Hennessy wrote several songs that became hits for other singers including Do n't Forget your Shovel , made famous by Christy Moore , and All the Lies that You Told Me , recorded by Frances Black . He also composed the theme tune and incidental music for the BBC TV series `` Get Well Soon '' written by Ray Galton ( of Steptoe & Son fame ) and composed and wrote a musical / feature film about his native Ireland , Two Stops to Paradise Hennessy returned to the studio in 2007 , one final time to record an album with both Luka Bloom and Christy Moore sharing vocals on one of the tracks . In 2005 , Christy Moore 's rendition of Hennessy 's `` Do n't Forget Your Shovel '' was referenced in a UK Number One single `` The JCB Song '' by Nizlopi : `` And the engine rattles my bum like berserk . While we 're singin , ' Do n't forget your shovel if you want to go to work ! ' '' It was further referenced in the video for the same song ; as the line is sung , the characters in the JCB pass a shop called `` Christie 's Shovels '' . Death ( edit ) Hennessy died on 11 December 2007 in a London hospice , aged 62 . He was reported to have died from pleural mesothelioma , a rare form of lung cancer , which has been attributed to his younger years spent working on building sites in London where he was exposed to asbestos dust . Just before he died he had been touring in Ireland but had to cancel due to the illness . His ashes were buried in Old Rath Cemetery , Tralee . A commemorative statue of Christie was erected in Central Plaza , just off the town square in Tralee in November 2009 .

Voting Rights History Drafting and ratification timeline Convention Signing Federalism Republicanism Full text of the Constitution and Amendments Preamble and Articles I -- VII Amendments I -- X Amendments XI -- XXVII Unratified Amendments United States portal U.S. Government portal Law portal Wikipedia book The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution . Proposed following the oftentimes bitter 1787 -- 88 battle over ratification of the U.S. Constitution , and crafted to address the objections raised by Anti-Federalists , the Bill of Rights amendments add to the Constitution specific guarantees of personal freedoms and rights , clear limitations on the government 's power in judicial and other proceedings , and explicit declarations that all powers not specifically delegated to Congress by the Constitution are reserved for the states or the people . The concepts codified in these amendments are built upon those found in several earlier documents , including the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the English Bill of Rights 1689 , along with earlier documents such as Magna Carta ( 1215 ) . In practice , the amendments had little impact on judgements by the courts for the first 150 years after ratification . On June 8 , 1789 , Representative James Madison introduced nine amendments to the constitution in the House of Representatives . Among his recommendations Madison proposed opening up the Constitution and inserting specific rights limiting the power of Congress in Article One , Section 9 . Seven of these limitations would become part of the ten ratified Bill of Rights amendments . Ultimately , on September 25 , 1789 , Congress approved twelve articles of amendment to the Constitution , each consisting of one one - sentence paragraph , and submitted them to the states for ratification . Contrary to Madison 's original proposal that the articles be incorporated into the main body of the Constitution , they were proposed as supplemental additions ( codicils ) to it . Articles Three through Twelve were ratified as additions to the Constitution on December 15 , 1791 , and became Amendments One through Ten of the Constitution . Article Two became part of the Constitution on May 5 , 1992 , as the Twenty - seventh Amendment . Article One is technically still pending before the states . Although Madison 's proposed amendments included a provision to extend the protection of some of the Bill of Rights to the states , the amendments that were finally submitted for ratification applied only to the federal government . The door for their application upon state governments was opened in the 1860s , following ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment . Since the early 20th century both federal and state courts have used the Fourteenth Amendment to apply portions of the Bill of Rights to state and local governments . The process is known as incorporation . There are several original engrossed copies of the Bill of Rights still in existence . One of these is on permanent public display at the National Archives in Washington , D.C.

However , the national government that operated under the Articles of Confederation was too weak to adequately regulate the various conflicts that arose between the states . The Philadelphia Convention set out to correct weaknesses of the Articles that had been apparent even before the American Revolutionary War had been successfully concluded . The convention took place from May 14 to September 17 , 1787 , in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . Although the Convention was purportedly intended only to revise the Articles , the intention of many of its proponents , chief among them James Madison of Virginia and Alexander Hamilton of New York , was to create a new government rather than fix the existing one . The convention convened in the Pennsylvania State House , and George Washington of Virginia was unanimously elected as president of the convention . The 55 delegates who drafted the Constitution are among the men known as the Founding Fathers of the new nation . Thomas Jefferson , who was Minister to France during the convention , characterized the delegates as an assembly of `` demi - gods . '' Rhode Island refused to send delegates to the convention . On September 12 , George Mason of Virginia suggested the addition of a Bill of Rights to the Constitution modeled on previous state declarations , and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts made it a formal motion . However , the motion was defeated by a unanimous vote of the state delegations after only a brief discussion . Madison , then an opponent of a Bill of Rights , later explained the vote by calling the state bills of rights `` parchment barriers '' that offered only an illusion of protection against tyranny . Another delegate , James Wilson of Pennsylvania , later argued that the act of enumerating the rights of the people would have been dangerous , because it would imply that rights not explicitly mentioned did not exist ; Hamilton echoed this point in Federalist No. 84 . Because Mason and Gerry had emerged as opponents of the proposed new Constitution , their motion -- introduced five days before the end of the convention -- may also have been seen by other delegates as a delaying tactic . The quick rejection of this motion , however , later endangered the entire ratification process . Author David O. Stewart characterizes the omission of a Bill of Rights in the original Constitution as `` a political blunder of the first magnitude '' while historian Jack N. Rakove calls it `` the one serious miscalculation the framers made as they looked ahead to the struggle over ratification '' . Thirty - nine delegates signed the finalized Constitution . Thirteen delegates left before it was completed , and three who remained at the convention until the end refused to sign it : Mason , Gerry , and Edmund Randolph of Virginia . Afterward , the Constitution was presented to the Articles of Confederation Congress with the request that it afterwards be submitted to a convention of delegates , chosen in each State by the people , for their assent and ratification . The Anti-Federalists On June 5 , 1788 , Patrick Henry spoke before Virginia 's ratification convention in opposition to the Constitution . Following the Philadelphia Convention , some leading revolutionary figures such as Patrick Henry , Samuel Adams , and Richard Henry Lee publicly opposed the new frame of government , a position known as `` Anti-Federalism '' . Elbridge Gerry wrote the most popular Anti-Federalist tract , `` Hon . Mr. Gerry 's Objections '' , which went through 46 printings ; the essay particularly focused on the lack of a bill of rights in the proposed constitution . Many were concerned that a strong national government was a threat to individual rights and that the president would become a king . Jefferson wrote to Madison advocating a Bill of Rights : `` Half a loaf is better than no bread . If we can not secure all our rights , let us secure what we can . '' The pseudonymous Anti-Federalist `` Brutus '' wrote , We find they have , in the ninth section of the first article declared , that the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended , unless in cases of rebellion -- that no bill of attainder , or ex post facto law , shall be passed -- that no title of nobility shall be granted by the United States , etc . If every thing which is not given is reserved , what propriety is there in these exceptions ? Does this Constitution any where grant the power of suspending the habeas corpus , to make ex post facto laws , pass bills of attainder , or grant titles of nobility ? It certainly does not in express terms . The only answer that can be given is , that these are implied in the general powers granted . With equal truth it may be said , that all the powers which the bills of rights guard against the abuse of , are contained or implied in the general ones granted by this Constitution . He continued with this observation : Ought not a government , vested with such extensive and indefinite authority , to have been restricted by a declaration of rights ? It certainly ought . So clear a point is this , that I can not help suspecting that persons who attempt to persuade people that such reservations were less necessary under this Constitution than under those of the States , are wilfully endeavoring to deceive , and to lead you into an absolute state of vassalage . The Federalists Supporters of the Constitution , known as Federalists , opposed a bill of rights for much of the ratification period , in part due to the procedural uncertainties it would create . Madison argued against such an inclusion , suggesting that state governments were sufficient guarantors of personal liberty , in No. 46 of The Federalist Papers , a series of essays promoting the Federalist position . Hamilton opposed a bill of rights in The Federalist No. 84 , stating that `` the constitution is itself in every rational sense , and to every useful purpose , a bill of rights . He stated that ratification did not mean the American people were surrendering their rights , making protections unnecessary : `` Here , in strictness , the people surrender nothing , and as they retain everything , they have no need of particular reservations . '' Patrick Henry criticized the federalist point of view , writing that the legislature must be firmly informed `` of the extent of the rights retained by the people ... being in a state of uncertainty , they will assume rather than give up powers by implication . '' Other anti-federalists pointed out that earlier political documents , in particular the Magna Carta had protected specific rights . In response , Hamilton argued that the Constitution was inherently different : Bills of rights are in their origin , stipulations between kings and their subjects , abridgments of prerogative in favor of privilege , reservations of rights not surrendered to the prince . Such was the Magna Charta , obtained by the Barons , swords in hand , from King John . Massachusetts compromise Main article : Massachusetts Compromise George Washington 's 1788 letter to the Marquis de Lafayette observed , `` the Convention of Massachusetts adopted the Constitution in toto ; but recommended a number of specific alterations and quieting explanations . '' Source : Library of Congress In December 1787 and January 1788 , five states -- Delaware , Pennsylvania , New Jersey , Georgia , and Connecticut -- ratified the Constitution with relative ease , though the bitter minority report of the Pennsylvania opposition was widely circulated . In contrast to its predecessors , the Massachusetts convention was angry and contentious , at one point erupting into a fistfight between Federalist delegate Francis Dana and Anti-Federalist Elbridge Gerry when the latter was not allowed to speak . The impasse was resolved only when revolutionary heroes and leading Anti-Federalists Samuel Adams and John Hancock agreed to ratification on the condition that the convention also propose amendments . The convention 's proposed amendments included a requirement for grand jury indictment in capital cases , which would form part of the Fifth Amendment , and an amendment reserving powers to the states not expressly given to the federal government , which would later form the basis for the Tenth Amendment . Following Massachusetts ' lead , the Federalist minorities in both Virginia and New York were able to obtain ratification in convention by linking ratification to recommended amendments . A committee of the Virginia convention headed by law professor George Wythe forwarded forty recommended amendments to Congress , twenty of which enumerated individual rights and another twenty of which enumerated states ' rights . The latter amendments included limitations on federal powers to levy taxes and regulate trade . A minority of the Constitution 's critics , such as Maryland 's Luther Martin , continued to oppose ratification . However , Martin 's allies , such as New York 's John Lansing , Jr. , dropped moves to obstruct the Convention 's process . They began to take exception to the Constitution `` as it was , '' seeking amendments . Several conventions saw supporters for `` amendments before '' shift to a position of `` amendments after '' for the sake of staying in the Union . The New York Anti-Federalist `` circular letter '' was sent to each state legislature proposing a second constitutional convention for `` amendments before '' , but it failed in the state legislatures . Ultimately , only North Carolina and Rhode Island waited for amendments from Congress before ratifying . Article Seven of the proposed Constitution set the terms by which the new frame of government would be established . The new Constitution would become operational when ratified by at least nine states . Only then would it replace the existing government under the Articles of Confederation and would apply only to those states that ratified it . Following contentious battles in several states , the proposed Constitution reached that nine state ratification plateau in June 1788 . On September 13 , 1788 , the Articles of Confederation Congress certified that the new Constitution had been ratified by more than enough states for the new system to be implemented and directed the new government to meet in New York City on the first Wednesday in March the following year . On March 4 , 1789 , the new frame of government came into force with eleven of the thirteen states participating . Proposal and ratification Anticipating amendments James Madison , primary author and chief advocate for the Bill of Rights in the First Congress . The 1st United States Congress , which met in New York City 's Federal Hall , was a triumph for the Federalists . The Senate of eleven states contained 20 Federalists with only two Anti-Federalists , both from Virginia . The House included 48 Federalists to 11 Anti-Federalists , the latter of whom were from only four states : Massachusetts , New York , Virginia and South Carolina . Among the Virginia delegation to the House was James Madison , Patrick Henry 's chief opponent in the Virginia ratification battle . In retaliation for Madison 's victory in that battle at Virginia 's ratification convention , Henry and other Anti-Federalists , who controlled the Virginia House of Delegates had gerrymandered a hostile district for Madison 's planned congressional run and recruited Madison 's future presidential successor , James Monroe , to oppose him . Madison defeated Monroe after offering a campaign pledge that he would introduce constitutional amendments comprising a Bill of Rights at the First Congress . Originally opposed to the inclusion of a bill of rights in the Constitution , he had gradually come to understand the importance of doing so during the often contentious ratification debates . By taking the initiative to propose amendments himself through the Congress , he hoped to preempt a second constitutional convention that might , it was feared , undo the difficult compromises of 1787 , and open the entire Constitution to reconsideration , thus risking the dissolution of the new federal government . Writing to Jefferson , he stated , `` The friends of the Constitution , some from an approbation of particular amendments , others from a spirit of conciliation , are generally agreed that the System should be revised . But they wish the revisal to be carried no farther than to supply additional guards for liberty . '' He also felt that amendments guaranteeing personal liberties would `` give to the Government its due popularity and stability '' . Finally , he hoped that the amendments `` would acquire by degrees the character of fundamental maxims of free government , and as they become incorporated with the national sentiment , counteract the impulses of interest and passion '' . Historians continue to debate the degree to which Madison considered the amendments of the Bill of Rights necessary , and to what degree he considered them politically expedient ; in the outline of his address , he wrote , `` Bill of Rights -- useful -- not essential -- '' . On the occasion of his April 30 , 1789 inauguration as the nation 's first president , George Washington addressed the subject of amending the Constitution . He urged the legislators , whilst you carefully avoid every alteration which might endanger the benefits of an united and effective government , or which ought to await the future lessons of experience ; a reverence for the characteristic rights of freemen , and a regard for public harmony , will sufficiently influence your deliberations on the question , how far the former can be impregnably fortified or the latter be safely and advantageously promoted . Crafting amendments James Madison introduced a series of Constitutional amendments in the House of Representatives for consideration . Among his proposals was one that would have added introductory language stressing natural rights to the preamble . Another would apply parts of the Bill of Rights to the states as well as the federal government . Several sought to protect individual personal rights by limiting various Constitutional powers of Congress . Like Washington , Madison urged Congress to keep the revision to the Constitution `` a moderate one '' , limited to protecting individual rights . Madison was deeply read in the history of government and used a range of sources in composing the amendments . The English Magna Carta of 1215 inspired the right to petition and to trial by jury , for example , while the English Bill of Rights of 1689 provided an early precedent for the right to keep and bear arms ( although this applied only to Protestants ) and prohibited cruel and unusual punishment . The greatest influence on Madison 's text , however , was existing state constitutions . Many of his amendments , including his proposed new preamble , were based on the Virginia Declaration of Rights drafted by Anti-Federalist George Mason in 1776 . To reduce future opposition to ratification , Madison also looked for recommendations shared by many states . He did provide one , however , that no state had requested : `` No state shall violate the equal rights of conscience , or the freedom of the press , or the trial by jury in criminal cases . '' He did not include an amendment that every state had asked for , one that would have made tax assessments voluntary instead of contributions . James Madison 's proposed amendments to the Constitution : First . That there be prefixed to the constitution a declaration that all power is originally vested in , and consequently derived from the people . That government is instituted , and ought to be exercised for the benefit of the people ; which consists in the enjoyment of life and liberty , with the right of acquiring and using property , and generally of pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety . That the people have an indubitable , unalienable , and indefeasible right to reform or change their government , whenever it be found adverse or inadequate to the purposes of its institution . Secondly . That in article 1st , section 2 , clause 3 , these words be struck out , to wit : `` The number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty thousand , but each State shall have at least one Representative , and until such enumeration shall be made ; '' and in place thereof be inserted these words , to wit : `` After the first actual enumeration , there shall be one Representative for every thirty thousand , until the number amounts to -- , after which the proportion shall be so regulated by Congress , that the number shall never be less than -- , nor more than -- , but each State shall , after the first enumeration , have at least two Representatives ; and prior thereto . '' Thirdly . That in article 2nd , section 6 , clause 1 , there be added to the end of the first sentence , these words , to wit , `` But no law varying the compensation last ascertained shall operate before the next ensuing election of representatives . '' Fourthly . That in article 2nd , section 9 , between clauses 3 and 4 , be inserted these clauses , to wit , The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship , nor shall any national religion be established , nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience by in any manner , or on any pretext infringed . The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak , to write , or to publish their sentiments ; and the freedom of the press , as one of the great bulwarks of liberty , shall be inviolable . The people shall not be restrained from peaceably assembling and consulting for their common good , nor from applying to the legislature by petitions , or remonstrances for redress of their grievances . The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed ; a well armed , and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country : but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms , shall be compelled to render military service in person . No soldier shall in time of peace be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner ; nor at any time , but in a manner warranted by law . No person shall be subject , except in cases of impeachment , to more than one punishment , or one trial for the same office ; nor shall be compelled to be a witness against himself ; nor be deprived of life , liberty , or property without due process of law ; nor be obliged to relinquish his property , where it may be necessary for public use , without a just compensation . Excessive bail shall not be required , nor excessive fines imposed , nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted . The rights of the people to be secured in their persons , their houses , their papers , and their other property from all unreasonable searches and seizures , shall not be violated by warrants issued without probable cause , supported by oath or affirmation , or not particularly describing the places to be searched , or the persons or things to be seized . In all criminal prosecutions , the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial , to be informed of the cause and nature of the accusation , to be confronted with his accusers , and the witnesses against him ; to have a compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor ; and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense . The exceptions here or elsewhere in the constitution , made in favor of particular rights , shall not be so construed as to diminish the just importance of other rights retained by the people ; or as to enlarge the powers delegated by the constitution ; but either as actual limitations of such powers , or as inserted merely for greater caution . Fifthly . That in article 2nd , section 10 , between clauses 1 and 2 , be inserted this clause , to wit : No state shall violate the equal rights of conscience , or the freedom of the press , or the trial by jury in criminal cases Sixthly . That article 3rd , section 2 , be annexed to the end of clause 2nd , these words to wit : but no appeal to such court shall be allowed where the value in controversy shall not amount to -- dollars : nor shall any fact triable by jury , according to the course of common law , be otherwise re-examinable than may consist with the principles of common law . Seventhly . That in article 3rd , section 2 , the third clause be struck out , and in its place be inserted the classes following , to wit : The trial of all crimes ( except in cases of impeachments , and cases arising in the land or naval forces , or the militia when on actual service in time of war or public danger ) shall be by an impartial jury of freeholders of the vicinage , with the requisite of unanimity for conviction , of the right of challenge , and other accustomed requisites ; and in all crimes punishable with loss of life or member , presentment or indictment by a grand jury shall be an essential preliminary , provided that in cases of crimes committed within any county which may be in possession of an enemy , or in which a general insurrection may prevail , the trial may by law be authorized in some other county of the same State , as near as may be to the seat of the offence . In cases of crimes committed not within any county , the trial may by law be in such county as the laws shall have prescribed . In suits at common law , between man and man , the trial by jury , as one of the best securities to the rights of the people , ought to remain inviolate . Eighthly . That immediately after article 6th , be inserted , as article 7th , the clauses following , to wit : The powers delegated by this constitution , are appropriated to the departments to which they are respectively distributed : so that the legislative department shall never exercise the powers vested in the executive or judicial ; nor the executive exercise the powers vested in the legislative or judicial ; nor the judicial exercise the powers vested in the legislative or executive departments . The powers not delegated by this constitution , nor prohibited by it to the states , are reserved to the States respectively . Ninthly . That article 7th , be numbered as article 8th . Federalist representatives were quick to attack Madison 's proposal , fearing that any move to amend the new Constitution so soon after its implementation would create an appearance of instability in the government . The House , unlike the Senate , was open to the public , and members such as Fisher Ames warned that a prolonged `` dissection of the constitution '' before the galleries could shake public confidence . A procedural battle followed , and after initially forwarding the amendments to a select committee for revision , the House agreed to take Madison 's proposal up as a full body beginning on July 21 , 1789 . The eleven - member committee made some significant changes to Madison 's nine proposed amendments , including eliminating most of his preamble and adding the phrase `` freedom of speech , and of the press '' . The House debated the amendments for eleven days . Roger Sherman of Connecticut persuaded the House to place the amendments at the Constitution 's end so that the document would `` remain inviolate '' , rather than adding them throughout , as Madison had proposed . The amendments , revised and condensed from twenty to seventeen , were approved and forwarded to the Senate on August 24 , 1789 . The Senate edited these amendments still further , making 26 changes of its own . Madison 's proposal to apply parts of the Bill of Rights to the states as well as the federal government was eliminated , and the seventeen amendments were condensed to twelve , which were approved on September 9 , 1789 . The Senate also eliminated the last of Madison 's proposed changes to the preamble . On September 21 , 1789 , a House - Senate Conference Committee convened to resolve the numerous differences between the two Bill of Rights proposals . On September 24 , 1789 , the committee issued this report , which finalized 12 Constitutional Amendments for House and Senate to consider . This final version was approved by joint resolution of Congress on September 25 , 1789 , to be forwarded to the states on September 28 . By the time the debates and legislative maneuvering that went into crafting the Bill of Rights amendments was done , many personal opinions had shifted . A number of Federalists came out in support , thus silencing the Anti-Federalists ' most effective critique . Many Anti-Federalists , in contrast , were now opposed , realizing that Congressional approval of these amendments would greatly lessen the chances of a second constitutional convention . Anti-Federalists such as Richard Henry Lee also argued that the Bill left the most objectionable portions of the Constitution , such as the federal judiciary and direct taxation , intact . Madison remained active in the progress of the amendments throughout the legislative process . Historian Gordon S. Wood writes that `` there is no question that it was Madison 's personal prestige and his dogged persistence that saw the amendments through the Congress . There might have been a federal Constitution without Madison but certainly no Bill of Rights .

Twelfth Article : The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution , nor prohibited by it to the States , are reserved to the States respectively , or to the people . Ratified : December 15 , 1791 Tenth Amendment Ratification process The twelve articles of amendment approved by congress were officially submitted to the Legislatures of the several States for consideration on September 28 , 1789 . The following states ratified some or all of the amendments : New Jersey : Articles One and Three through Twelve on November 20 , 1789 , and Article Two on May 7 , 1992 Maryland : Articles One through Twelve on December 19 , 1789 North Carolina : Articles One through Twelve on December 22 , 1789 South Carolina : Articles One through Twelve on January 19 , 1790 New Hampshire : Articles One and Three through Twelve on January 25 , 1790 , and Article Two on March 7 , 1985 Delaware : Articles Two through Twelve on January 28 , 1790 New York : Articles One and Three through Twelve on February 24 , 1790 Pennsylvania : Articles Three through Twelve on March 10 , 1790 , and Article One on September 21 , 1791 Rhode Island : Articles One and Three through Twelve on June 7 , 1790 , and Article Two on June 10 , 1993 Vermont : Articles One through Twelve on November 3 , 1791 Virginia : Article One on November 3 , 1791 , and Articles Two through Twelve on December 15 , 1791 ( After failing to ratify the 12 amendments during the 1789 legislative session . ) Having been approved by the requisite three - fourths of the several states , there being 14 States in the Union at the time ( as Vermont had been admitted into the Union on March 4 , 1791 ) , the ratification of Articles Three through Twelve was completed and they became Amendments 1 through 10 of the Constitution . President Washington informed Congress of this on December 30 , 1791 . As they had not yet been approved by 11 of the 14 states , the ratification of Article One ( ratified by 10 ) and Article Two ( ratified by 6 ) remained incomplete . The ratification plateau they needed to reach soon rose to 12 of 15 states when Kentucky joined the Union ( June 1 , 1792 ) . On June 27 , 1792 , the Kentucky General Assembly ratified all 12 amendments , however this action did not come to light until 1996 . Article One came within one state of the number needed to become adopted into the Constitution on two occasions between 1789 and 1803 . Despite coming close to ratification early on , it has never received the approval of enough states to become part of the Constitution . As Congress did not attach a ratification time limit to the article , it is still technically pending before the states . Since no state has approved it since 1792 , ratification by an additional 27 states would now be necessary for the article to be adopted . Article Two , initially ratified by seven states through 1792 ( including Kentucky ) , was not ratified by another state for eighty years . The Ohio General Assembly ratified it on May 6 , 1873 in protest of an unpopular Congressional pay raise . A century later , on March 6 , 1978 , the Wyoming Legislature also ratified the article . Gregory Watson , a University of Texas at Austin undergraduate student , started a new push for the article 's ratification with a letter - writing campaign to state legislatures . As a result , by May 1992 , enough states had approved Article Two ( 38 of the 50 states in the Union ) for it to become the Twenty - seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution . The amendment 's adoption was certified by Archivist of the United States Don W. Wilson and subsequently affirmed by a vote of Congress on May 20 , 1992 . Three states did not complete action on the twelve articles of amendment when they were initially put before the states . Georgia found a Bill of Rights unnecessary and so refused to ratify . Both chambers of the Massachusetts General Court ratified a number of the amendments ( the Senate adopted 10 of 12 and the House 9 of 12 ) , but failed to reconcile their two lists or to send official notice to the Secretary of State of the ones they did agree upon . Both houses of the Connecticut General Assembly voted to ratify Articles Three through Twelve but failed to reconcile their bills after disagreeing over whether to ratify Articles One and Two . All three later ratified the Constitutional amendments originally known as Articles Three through Twelve as part of the 1939 commemoration of the Bill of Rights ' sesquicentennial : Massachusetts on March 2 , Georgia on March 18 , and Connecticut on April 19 . Connecticut and Georgia would also later ratify Article Two , on May 13 , 1987 and February 2 , 1988 respectively . Application and text The Bill of Rights had little judicial impact for the first 150 years of its existence ; in the words of Gordon S. Wood , `` After ratification , most Americans promptly forgot about the first ten amendments to the Constitution . '' The Court made no important decisions protecting free speech rights , for example , until 1931 . Historian Richard Labunski attributes the Bill 's long legal dormancy to three factors : first , it took time for a `` culture of tolerance '' to develop that would support the Bill 's provisions with judicial and popular will ; second , the Supreme Court spent much of the 19th century focused on issues relating to intergovernmental balances of power ; and third , the Bill initially only applied to the federal government , a restriction affirmed by Barron v. Baltimore ( 1833 ) . In the twentieth century , however , most of the Bill 's provisions were applied to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment -- a process known as incorporation -- beginning with the freedom of speech clause , in Gitlow v. New York ( 1925 ) . In Talton v. Mayes ( 1896 ) , the Court ruled that Constitutional protections , including the provisions of the Bill of Rights , do not apply to the actions of American Indian tribal governments . Through the incorporation process the United States Supreme Court succeeded in extending to the States almost all of the protections in the Bill of Rights , as well as other , unenumerated rights . The Bill of Rights thus imposes legal limits on the powers of governments and acts as an anti-majoritarian / minoritarian safeguard by providing deeply entrenched legal protection for various civil liberties and fundamental rights . The Supreme Court for example concluded in the West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette ( 1943 ) case that the founders intended the Bill of Rights to put some rights out of reach from majorities , ensuring that some liberties would endure beyond political majorities . As the Court noted the idea of the Bill of Rights `` was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy , to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts . '' This is why `` fundamental rights may not be submitted to a vote ; they depend on the outcome of no elections . '' First Amendment Main article : First Amendment to the United States Constitution Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion , or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ; or abridging the freedom of speech , or of the press ; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble , and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances . The First Amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion , impeding the free exercise of religion , abridging the freedom of speech , infringing on the freedom of the press , interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances . Initially , the First Amendment applied only to laws enacted by Congress , and many of its provisions were interpreted more narrowly than they are today . In Everson v. Board of Education ( 1947 ) , the Court drew on Thomas Jefferson 's correspondence to call for `` a wall of separation between church and State '' , though the precise boundary of this separation remains in dispute . Speech rights were expanded significantly in a series of 20th - and 21st - century court decisions that protected various forms of political speech , anonymous speech , campaign financing , pornography , and school speech ; these rulings also defined a series of exceptions to First Amendment protections . The Supreme Court overturned English common law precedent to increase the burden of proof for defamation and libel suits , most notably in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan ( 1964 ) . Commercial speech is less protected by the First Amendment than political speech , and is therefore subject to greater regulation . The Free Press Clause protects publication of information and opinions , and applies to a wide variety of media . In Near v. Minnesota ( 1931 ) and New York Times v. United States ( 1971 ) , the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment protected against prior restraint -- pre-publication censorship -- in almost all cases . The Petition Clause protects the right to petition all branches and agencies of government for action . In addition to the right of assembly guaranteed by this clause , the Court has also ruled that the amendment implicitly protects freedom of association . Second Amendment Main article : Second Amendment to the United States Constitution A well regulated Militia , being necessary to the security of a free State , the right of the people to keep and bear Arms , shall not be infringed . The Second Amendment protects the individual right to keep and bear arms . The concept of such a right existed within English common law long before the enactment of the Bill of Rights . First codified in the English Bill of Rights of 1689 ( but there only applying to Protestants ) , this right was enshrined in fundamental laws of several American states during the Revolutionary era , including the 1776 Virginia Declaration of Rights and the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776 . Long a controversial issue in American political , legal , and social discourse , the Second Amendment has been at the heart of several Supreme Court decisions . In United States v. Cruikshank ( 1875 ) , the Court ruled that `` ( t ) he right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution ; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence . The Second Amendment means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress , and has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National Government . '' In United States v. Miller ( 1939 ) , the Court ruled that the amendment `` ( protects arms that had a ) reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia '' . In District of Columbia v. Heller ( 2008 ) , the Court ruled that the Second Amendment `` codified a pre-existing right '' and that it `` protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia , and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes , such as self - defense within the home '' but also stated that `` the right is not unlimited . It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose '' . In McDonald v. Chicago ( 2010 ) , the Court ruled that the Second Amendment limits state and local governments to the same extent that it limits the federal government . Third Amendment Main article : Third Amendment to the United States Constitution No Soldier shall , in time of peace be quartered in any house , without the consent of the Owner , nor in time of war , but in a manner to be prescribed by law . The Third Amendment restricts the quartering of soldiers in private homes , in response to Quartering Acts passed by the British parliament during the Revolutionary War . The amendment is one of the least controversial of the Constitution , and , as of 2016 , has never been the primary basis of a Supreme Court decision . Fourth Amendment Main article : Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution The right of the people to be secure in their persons , houses , papers , and effects , against unreasonable searches and seizures , shall not be violated , and no Warrants shall issue , but upon probable cause , supported by Oath or affirmation , and particularly describing the place to be searched , and the persons or things to be seized . The Fourth Amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures , along with requiring any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause . It was adopted as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance , which is a type of general search warrant , in the American Revolution . Search and seizure ( including arrest ) must be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court , usually by a law enforcement officer who has sworn by it . The amendment is the basis for the exclusionary rule , which mandates that evidence obtained illegally can not be introduced into a criminal trial . The amendment 's interpretation has varied over time ; its protections expanded under left - leaning courts such as that headed by Earl Warren and contracted under right - leaning courts such as that of William Rehnquist . Fifth Amendment Main article : Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution No person shall be held to answer for a capital , or otherwise infamous crime , unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury , except in cases arising in the land or naval forces , or in the Militia , when in actual service in time of War or public danger ; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb ; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself , nor be deprived of life , liberty , or property , without due process of law ; nor shall private property be taken for public use , without just compensation . The Fifth Amendment protects against double jeopardy and self - incrimination and guarantees the rights to due process , grand jury screening of criminal indictments , and compensation for the seizure of private property under eminent domain . The amendment was the basis for the court 's decision in Miranda v. Arizona ( 1966 ) , which established that defendants must be informed of their rights to an attorney and against self - incrimination prior to interrogation by police . Sixth Amendment Main article : Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution In all criminal prosecutions , the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial , by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed , which district shall have been previously ascertained by law , and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation ; to be confronted with the witnesses against him ; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor , and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence . The Sixth Amendment establishes a number of rights of the defendant in a criminal trial : to a speedy and public trial to trial by an impartial jury to be informed of criminal charges to confront witnesses to compel witnesses to appear in court to assistance of counsel In Gideon v. Wainwright ( 1963 ) , the Court ruled that the amendment guaranteed the right to legal representation in all felony prosecutions in both state and federal courts . Seventh Amendment Main article : Seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution In suits at common law , where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars , the right of trial by jury shall be preserved , and no fact tried by a jury , shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States , than according to the rules of the common law . The Seventh Amendment guarantees jury trials in federal civil cases that deal with claims of more than twenty dollars . It also prohibits judges from overruling findings of fact by juries in federal civil trials . In Colgrove v. Battin ( 1973 ) , the Court ruled that the amendment 's requirements could be fulfilled by a jury with a minimum of six members . The Seventh is one of the few parts of the Bill of Rights not to be incorporated ( applied to the states ) . Eighth Amendment Main article : Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution Excessive bail shall not be required , nor excessive fines imposed , nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted . The Eighth Amendment forbids the imposition of excessive bails or fines , though it leaves the term `` excessive '' open to interpretation . The most frequently litigated clause of the amendment is the last , which forbids cruel and unusual punishment . This clause was only occasionally applied by the Supreme Court prior to the 1970s , generally in cases dealing with means of execution . In Furman v. Georgia ( 1972 ) , some members of the Court found capital punishment itself in violation of the amendment , arguing that the clause could reflect `` evolving standards of decency '' as public opinion changed ; others found certain practices in capital trials to be unacceptably arbitrary , resulting in a majority decision that effectively halted executions in the United States for several years . Executions resumed following Gregg v. Georgia ( 1976 ) , which found capital punishment to be constitutional if the jury was directed by concrete sentencing guidelines . The Court has also found that some poor prison conditions constitute cruel and unusual punishment , as in Estelle v. Gamble ( 1976 ) and Brown v. Plata ( 2011 ) . Ninth Amendment Main article : Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution The enumeration in the Constitution , of certain rights , shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people . The Ninth Amendment declares that there are additional fundamental rights that exist outside the Constitution . The rights enumerated in the Constitution are not an explicit and exhaustive list of individual rights . It was rarely mentioned in Supreme Court decisions before the second half of the 20th century , when it was cited by several of the justices in Griswold v. Connecticut ( 1965 ) . The Court in that case voided a statute prohibiting use of contraceptives as an infringement of the right of marital privacy . This right was , in turn , the foundation upon which the Supreme Court built decisions in several landmark cases , including , Roe v. Wade ( 1973 ) , which overturned a Texas law making it a crime to assist a woman to get an abortion , and Planned Parenthood v. Casey ( 1992 ) , which invalidated a Pennsylvania law that required spousal awareness prior to obtaining an abortion . Tenth Amendment Main article : Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution , nor prohibited by it to the States , are reserved to the States respectively , or to the people . The Tenth Amendment reinforces the principles of separation of powers and federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution , nor prohibited to the states , are reserved to the states or the people . The amendment provides no new powers or rights to the states , but rather preserves their authority in all matters not specifically granted to the federal government . Congress has sometimes gotten around the Tenth Amendment by invoking the Commerce Clause in Article One or by threatening to withhold funding for a federal program from noncooperative States , as in South Dakota v. Dole ( 1987 ) . Display and honoring of the Bill of Rights George Washington had fourteen handwritten copies of the Bill of Rights made , one for Congress and one for each of the original thirteen states . The copies for Georgia , Maryland , New York , and Pennsylvania went missing . The New York copy is thought to have been destroyed in a fire . Two unidentified copies of the missing four ( thought to be the Georgia and Maryland copies ) survive ; one is in the National Archives , and the other is in the New York Public Library . North Carolina 's copy was stolen from the State Capitol by a Union soldier following the Civil War . In an FBI sting operation , it was recovered in 2003 . The copy retained by the First Congress has been on display ( along with the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence ) in the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom room at the National Archives Building in Washington , D.C. since December 13 , 1952 . After fifty years on display , signs of deterioration in the casing were noted , while the documents themselves appeared to be well preserved . Accordingly , the casing was updated and the Rotunda rededicated on September 17 , 2003 . In his dedicatory remarks , President George W. Bush stated , `` The true ( American ) revolution was not to defy one earthly power , but to declare principles that stand above every earthly power -- the equality of each person before God , and the responsibility of government to secure the rights of all . '' In 1941 , President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared December 15 to be Bill of Rights Day , commemorating the 150th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights . In 1991 , the Virginia copy of the Bill of Rights toured the country in honor of its bicentennial , visiting the capitals of all fifty states .

"The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution.[1] Proposed following the oftentimes bitter 1787–88 battle over ratification of the U.S. Constitution, and crafted to address the objections raised by Anti-Federalists, the Bill of Rights amendments add to the Constitution specific guarantees of personal freedoms and rights, clear limitations on the government's power in judicial and other proceedings, and explicit declarations that all powers not specifically delegated to Congress by the Constitution are reserved for the states or the people. The concepts codified in these amendments are built upon those found in several earlier documents, including the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the English Bill of Rights 1689, along with earlier documents such as Magna Carta (1215). In practice, the amendments had little impact on judgements by the courts for the first 150 years after ratification."

-4351532942374242 | Nature versus nurture | Nature versus nurture - wikipedia Nature versus nurture Jump to : navigation , search The long - running nature versus nurture debate is about whether human behaviour is determined by the environment , either prenatal or during a person 's life , or by a person 's genes . The alliterative expression `` nature and nurture '' in English has been in use since at least the Elizabethan period and goes back to medieval French . The combination of the two concepts as complementary is ancient ( Greek : ἁπό φύσεως καὶ εὐτροφίας ) . Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors . Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception e.g. the product of exposure , experience and learning on an individual . The phrase in its modern sense was popularized by the English Victorian polymath Francis Galton , the modern founder of eugenics and behavioral genetics , discussing the influence of heredity and environment on social advancement . Galton was influenced by the book On the Origin of Species written by his half - cousin , Charles Darwin . The view that humans acquire all or almost all their behavioral traits from `` nurture '' was termed tabula rasa ( `` blank slate '' ) by John Locke in 1690 . A `` blank slate view '' in human developmental psychology assuming that human behavioral traits develop almost exclusively from environmental influences , was widely held during much of the 20th century ( sometimes termed `` blank - slatism '' ) . The debate between `` blank - slate '' denial of the influence of heritability , and the view admitting both environmental and heritable traits , has often been cast in terms of nature versus nurture . These two conflicting approaches to human development were at the core of an ideological dispute over research agendas throughout the second half of the 20th century . As both `` nature '' and `` nurture '' factors were found to contribute substantially , often in an extricable manner , such views were seen as naive or outdated by most scholars of human development by the 2000s . In their 2014 survey of scientists , many respondents wrote that the dichotomy of nature versus nurture had outlived its usefulness , and should be retired . The reason is that in many fields of research , close feedback loops have been found in which `` nature '' and `` nurture '' influence one another constantly , as seen in self - domestication . In ecology and behavioral genetics , researchers think nurture has an essential influence on nature . Similarly in other fields , the dividing line between an inherited and an acquired trait becomes unclear , as in epigenetics or fetal development . Contents ( hide ) 1 History of the debate 2 Heritability estimates 3 Interaction of genes and environment 3.1 Obligate vs. facultative adaptations 3.2 Advanced techniques 3.3 Entrepreneurship 4 Heritability of intelligence 5 Personality traits 6 Genetics 6.1 Genomics 6.2 Linkage and association studies 7 See also 8 References 9 Further reading History of the debate ( edit ) John Locke 's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding ( 1690 ) is often cited as the foundational document of the `` blank slate '' view . Locke was criticizing René Descartes ' claim of an innate idea of God universal to humanity . Locke 's view was harshly criticized in his own time . Anthony Ashley - Cooper , 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury , complained that by denying the possibility of any innate ideas , Locke `` threw all order and virtue out of the world '' , leading to total moral relativism . Locke 's was not the predominant view in the 19th century , which on the contrary tended to focus on `` instinct '' . Leda Cosmides and John Tooby noted that William James ( 1842 -- 1910 ) argued that humans have more instincts than animals , and that greater freedom of action is the result of having more psychological instincts , not fewer . The question of `` innate ideas '' or `` instincts '' were of some importance in the discussion of free will in moral philosophy . In 18th - century philosophy , this was cast in terms of `` innate ideas '' establishing the presence of a universal virtue , prerequisite for objective morals . In the 20th century , this argument was in a way inverted , as some philosophers now argued that the evolutionary origins of human behavioral traits forces us to concede that there is no foundation for ethics ( J.L. Mackie ) , while others treat ethics as a field in complete isolation from evolutionary considerations ( Thomas Nagel ) . In the early 20th century , there was an increased interest in the role of the environment , as a reaction to the strong focus on pure heredity in the wake of the triumphal success of Darwin 's theory of evolution . During this time , the social sciences developed as the project of studying the influence of culture in clean isolation from questions related to `` biology '' . Franz Boas 's The Mind of Primitive Man ( 1911 ) established a program that would dominate American anthropology for the next fifteen years . In this study he established that in any given population , biology , language , material and symbolic culture , are autonomous ; that each is an equally important dimension of human nature , but that no one of these dimensions is reducible to another . The tool of twin studies was developed after World War I as an experimental setup intended to exclude all confounders based on inherited behavioral traits . Such studies are designed to decompose the variability of a given trait in a given population into a genetic and an environmental component . John B. Watson in the 1920s and 1930s established the school of purist behaviorism that would become dominant over the following decades . Watson was convinced of the complete dominance of cultural influence over anything that heredity might contribute , to the point of claiming `` Give me a dozen healthy infants , well - formed , and my own specified world to bring them up in and I 'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select -- doctor , lawyer , artist , merchant - chief and , yes , even beggar - man and thief , regardless of his talents , penchants , tendencies , abilities , vocations , and race of his ancestors . '' ( Behaviorism , 1930 , p. 82 ) During the 1940s to 1960s , Ashley Montagu was a notable proponent of this purist form of behaviorism which allowed no contribution from heredity whatsoever : `` Man is man because he has no instincts , because everything he is and has become he has learned , acquired , from his culture ( ... ) with the exception of the instinctoid reactions in infants to sudden withdrawals of support and to sudden loud noises , the human being is entirely instinctless . '' In 1951 , Calvin Hall suggested that the dichotomy opposing nature to nurture is ultimately fruitless . Robert Ardrey in the 1960s argued for innate attributes of human nature , especially concerning territoriality , in the widely read African Genesis ( 1961 ) and The Territorial Imperative . Desmond Morris in The Naked Ape ( 1967 ) expressed similar views . Organised opposition to Montagu 's kind of purist `` blank - slatism '' began to pick up in the 1970s , notably led by E.O. Wilson ( On Human Nature 1979 ) . Twin studies established that there was , in many cases , a significant heritable component . These results did not in any way point to overwhelming contribution of heritable factors , with heritability typically ranging around 40 % to 50 % , so that the controversy may not be cast in terms of purist behaviorism vs. purist nativism . Rather , it was purist behaviorism which was gradually replaced by the now - predominant view that both kinds of factors usually contribute to a given trait , anecdotally phrased by Donald Hebb as an answer to the question `` which , nature or nurture , contributes more to personality ? '' by asking in response , `` Which contributes more to the area of a rectangle , its length or its width ? '' In a comparable avenue of research , anthropologist Donald Brown in the 1980s surveyed hundreds of anthropological studies from around the world and collected a set of cultural universals . He identified approximately 150 such features , coming to the conclusion there is indeed a `` universal human nature '' , and that these features point to what that universal human nature is . At the height of the controversy , during the 1970s to 1980s , the debate was highly ideologised . In Not in Our Genes : Biology , Ideology and Human Nature ( 1984 ) , Richard Lewontin , Steven Rose and Leon Kamin criticise `` genetic determinism '' from a Marxist framework , arguing that `` Science is the ultimate legitimator of bourgeois ideology ( ... ) If biological determinism is a weapon in the struggle between classes , then the universities are weapons factories , and their teaching and research faculties are the engineers , designers , and production workers . '' The debate thus shifted away from whether heritable traits exist to whether it was politically or ethically permissible to admit their existence . The authors deny this , requesting that that evolutionary inclinations could be discarded in ethical and political discussions regardless of whether they exist or not . Heritability studies became much easier to perform , and hence much more numerous , with the advances of genetic studies during the 1990s . By the late 1990s , an overwhelming amount of evidence had accumulated that amounts to a refutation of the extreme forms of `` blank - slatism '' advocated by Watson or Montagu . This revised state of affairs was summarized in books aimed at a popular audience from the late 1990s . In The Nurture Assumption : Why Children Turn Out the Way They Do ( 1998 ) , Judith Rich Harris was heralded by Steven Pinker as a book that `` will come to be seen as a turning point in the history of psychology '' . but Harris was criticized for exaggerating the point of `` parental upbringing seems to matter less than previously thought '' to the implication that `` parents do not matter '' . The situation as it presented itself by the end of the 20th century was summarized in The Blank Slate : The Modern Denial of Human Nature ( 2002 ) by Steven Pinker . The book became a best - seller , and was instrumental in bringing to the attention of a wider public the paradigm shift away from the behaviourist purism of the 1940s to 1970s that had taken place over the preceding decades . Pinker portrays the adherence to pure blank - slatism as an ideological dogma linked to two other dogmas found in the dominant view of human nature in the 20th century , which he termed `` noble savage '' ( in the sense that people are born good and corrupted by bad influence ) and `` ghost in the machine '' ( in the sense that there is a human soul capable of moral choices completely detached from biology ) . Pinker argues that all three dogmas were held onto for an extended period even in the face of evidence because they were seen as desirable in the sense that if any human trait is purely conditioned by culture , any undesired trait ( such as crime or aggression ) may be engineered away by purely cultural ( political means ) . Pinker focuses on reasons he assumes were responsible for unduly repressing evidence to the contrary , notably the fear of ( imagined or projected ) political or ideological consequences . Heritability estimates ( edit ) Main article : Heritability This chart illustrates three patterns one might see when studying the influence of genes and environment on traits in individuals . Trait A shows a high sibling correlation , but little heritability ( i.e. high shared environmental variance c ; low heritability h ) . Trait B shows a high heritability since correlation of trait rises sharply with degree of genetic similarity . Trait C shows low heritability , but also low correlations generally ; this means Trait C has a high nonshared environmental variance e . In other words , the degree to which individuals display Trait C has little to do with either genes or broadly predictable environmental factors -- roughly , the outcome approaches random for an individual . Notice also that even identical twins raised in a common family rarely show 100 % trait correlation . It is important to note that the term heritability refers only to the degree of genetic variation between people on a trait . It does not refer to the degree to which a trait of a particular individual is due to environmental or genetic factors . The traits of an individual are always a complex interweaving of both . For an individual , even strongly genetically influenced , or `` obligate '' traits , such as eye color , assume the inputs of a typical environment during ontogenetic development ( e.g. , certain ranges of temperatures , oxygen levels , etc . ) . In contrast , the `` heritability index '' statistically quantifies the extent to which variation between individuals on a trait is due to variation in the genes those individuals carry . In animals where breeding and environments can be controlled experimentally , heritability can be determined relatively easily . Such experiments would be unethical for human research . This problem can be overcome by finding existing populations of humans that reflect the experimental setting the researcher wishes to create . One way to determine the contribution of genes and environment to a trait is to study twins . In one kind of study , identical twins reared apart are compared to randomly selected pairs of people . The twins share identical genes , but different family environments . In another kind of twin study , identical twins reared together ( who share family environment and genes ) are compared to fraternal twins reared together ( who also share family environment but only share half their genes ) . Another condition that permits the disassociation of genes and environment is adoption . In one kind of adoption study , biological siblings reared together ( who share the same family environment and half their genes ) are compared to adoptive siblings ( who share their family environment but none of their genes ) . In many cases , it has been found that genes make a substantial contribution , including psychological traits such as intelligence and personality . Yet heritability may differ in other circumstances , for instance environmental deprivation . Examples of low , medium , and high heritability traits include : Low heritability Medium heritability High heritability Specific language Weight Blood type Specific religion Religiosity Eye color Twin and adoption studies have their methodological limits . For example , both are limited to the range of environments and genes which they sample . Almost all of these studies are conducted in Western , first - world countries , and therefore can not be extrapolated globally to include poorer , non-western populations . Additionally , both types of studies depend on particular assumptions , such as the equal environments assumption in the case of twin studies , and the lack of pre-adoptive effects in the case of adoption studies . Since the definition of `` nature '' in this context is tied to `` heritability '' , the definition of `` nurture '' has necessarily become very wide , including any type of causality that is not heritable . The term has thus moved away from its original connotation of `` cultural influences '' to include all effects of the environment , including ; indeed , a substantial source of environmental input to human nature may arise from stochastic variations in prenatal development and is thus in no sense of the term `` cultural '' . Interaction of genes and environment ( edit ) Main article : Gene -- environment interaction This section may stray from the topic of the article . Please help improve this section or discuss this issue on the talk page . ( March 2015 ) `` Many properties of the brain are genetically organized , and do n't depend on information coming in from the senses . '' -- Steven Pinker Heritability refers to the origins of differences between people . Individual development , even of highly heritable traits , such as eye color , depends on a range of environmental factors , from the other genes in the organism , to physical variables such as temperature , oxygen levels etc. during its development or ontogenesis . The variability of trait can be meaningfully spoken of as being due in certain proportions to genetic differences ( `` nature '' ) , or environments ( `` nurture '' ) . For highly penetrant Mendelian genetic disorders such as Huntington 's disease virtually all the incidence of the disease is due to genetic differences . Huntington 's animal models live much longer or shorter lives depending on how they are cared for . At the other extreme , traits such as native language are environmentally determined : linguists have found that any child ( if capable of learning a language at all ) can learn any human language with equal facility . With virtually all biological and psychological traits , however , genes and environment work in concert , communicating back and forth to create the individual . At a molecular level , genes interact with signals from other genes and from the environment . While there are many thousands of single - gene - locus traits , so - called complex traits are due to the additive effects of many ( often hundreds ) of small gene effects . A good example of this is height , where variance appears to be spread across many hundreds of loci . Extreme genetic or environmental conditions can predominate in rare circumstances -- if a child is born mute due to a genetic mutation , it will not learn to speak any language regardless of the environment ; similarly , someone who is practically certain to eventually develop Huntington 's disease according to their genotype may die in an unrelated accident ( an environmental event ) long before the disease will manifest itself . The `` two buckets '' view of heritability . More realistic `` homogenous mudpie '' view of heritability . Steven Pinker likewise described several examples : concrete behavioral traits that patently depend on content provided by the home or culture -- which language one speaks , which religion one practices , which political party one supports -- are not heritable at all . But traits that reflect the underlying talents and temperaments -- how proficient with language a person is , how religious , how liberal or conservative -- are partially heritable . When traits are determined by a complex interaction of genotype and environment it is possible to measure the heritability of a trait within a population . However , many non-scientists who encounter a report of a trait having a certain percentage heritability imagine non-interactional , additive contributions of genes and environment to the trait . As an analogy , some laypeople may think of the degree of a trait being made up of two `` buckets , '' genes and environment , each able to hold a certain capacity of the trait . But even for intermediate heritabilities , a trait is always shaped by both genetic dispositions and the environments in which people develop , merely with greater and lesser plasticities associated with these heritability measures . Heritability measures always refer to the degree of variation between individuals in a population . That is , as these statistics can not be applied at the level of the individual , it would be incorrect to say that while the heritability index of personality is about 0.6 , 60 % of one 's personality is obtained from one 's parents and 40 % from the environment . To help to understand this , imagine that all humans were genetic clones . The heritability index for all traits would be zero ( all variability between clonal individuals must be due to environmental factors ) . And , contrary to erroneous interpretations of the heritability index , as societies become more egalitarian ( everyone has more similar experiences ) the heritability index goes up ( as environments become more similar , variability between individuals is due more to genetic factors ) . One should also take into account the fact that the variables of heritability and environmentality are not precise and vary within a chosen population and across cultures . It would be more accurate to state that the degree of heritability and environmentality is measured in its reference to a particular phenotype in a chosen group of a population in a given period of time . The accuracy of the calculations is further hindered by the number of coefficients taken into consideration , age being one such variable . The display of the influence of heritability and environmentality differs drastically across age groups : the older the studied age is , the more noticeable the heritability factor becomes , the younger the test subjects are , the more likely it is to show signs of strong influence of the environmental factors . Some have pointed out that environmental inputs affect the expression of genes ( see the article on epigenetics ) . This is one explanation of how environment can influence the extent to which a genetic disposition will actually manifest . The interactions of genes with environment , called gene -- environment interactions , are another component of the nature -- nurture debate . A classic example of gene -- environment interaction is the ability of a diet low in the amino acid phenylalanine to partially suppress the genetic disease phenylketonuria . Yet another complication to the nature -- nurture debate is the existence of gene - environment correlations . These correlations indicate that individuals with certain genotypes are more likely to find themselves in certain environments . Thus , it appears that genes can shape ( the selection or creation of ) environments . Even using experiments like those described above , it can be very difficult to determine convincingly the relative contribution of genes and environment . A very convincing experiment conducted by T.J. Bouchard , Jr. has shown data that has been significant evidence for the importance of genes when testing middle - aged twins reared together and reared apart . The results shown have been important evidence against the importance of environment when determining , happiness , for example . In the Minnesota study of twins reared apart , it was actually found that there was higher correlation for monozygotic twins reared apart ( 0.52 ) than monozygotic twins reared together ( 0.44 ) . Also , highlighting the importance of genes , these correlations found much higher correlation among monozygotic than dizygotic twins that had a correlation of 0.08 when reared together and − 0.02 when reared apart . Obligate vs. facultative adaptations ( edit ) Traits may be considered to be adaptations ( such as the umbilical cord ) , byproducts of adaptations ( the belly button ) or due to random variation ( convex or concave belly button shape ) . An alternative to contrasting nature and nurture focuses on `` obligate vs. facultative '' adaptations . Adaptations may be generally more obligate ( robust in the face of typical environmental variation ) or more facultative ( sensitive to typical environmental variation ) . For example , the rewarding sweet taste of sugar and the pain of bodily injury are obligate psychological adaptations -- typical environmental variability during development does not much affect their operation . On the other hand , facultative adaptations are somewhat like `` if - then '' statements . An example of a facultative psychological adaptation may be adult attachment style . The attachment style of adults , ( for example , a `` secure attachment style , '' the propensity to develop close , trusting bonds with others ) is proposed to be conditional on whether an individual 's early childhood caregivers could be trusted to provide reliable assistance and attention . An example of a facultative physiological adaptation is tanning of skin on exposure to sunlight ( to prevent skin damage ) . Advanced techniques ( edit ) Quantitative studies of heritable traits throw light on the question . Developmental genetic analysis examines the effects of genes over the course of a human lifespan . Early studies of intelligence , which mostly examined young children , found that heritability measured 40 -- 50 % . Subsequent developmental genetic analyses found that variance attributable to additive environmental effects is less apparent in older individuals , with estimated heritability of IQ falling in adulthood . Multivariate genetic analysis examines the genetic contribution to several traits that vary together . For example , multivariate genetic analysis has demonstrated that the genetic determinants of all specific cognitive abilities ( e.g. , memory , spatial reasoning , processing speed ) overlap greatly , such that the genes associated with any specific cognitive ability will affect all others . Similarly , multivariate genetic analysis has found that genes that affect scholastic achievement completely overlap with the genes that affect cognitive ability . Extremes analysis examines the link between normal and pathological traits . For example , it is hypothesized that a given behavioral disorder may represent an extreme of a continuous distribution of a normal behavior and hence an extreme of a continuous distribution of genetic and environmental variation . Depression , phobias , and reading disabilities have been examined in this context . For a few highly heritable traits , studies have identified loci associated with variance in that trait , for instance in some individuals with schizophrenia . Entrepreneurship ( edit ) Through studies of identical twins separated at birth , one - third of their creative thinking abilities come from genetics and two - thirds come from learning . Research suggests that between 37 and 42 percent of the explained variance can be attributed to genetic factors . The learning primarily comes in the form of human capital transfers of entrepreneurial skills through parental role modeling . Other findings agree that the key to innovative entrepreneurial success comes from environmental factors and working `` 10,000 hours '' to gain mastery in entrepreneurial skills . Heritability of intelligence ( edit ) Main article : Heritability of IQ Evidence from behavioral genetic research suggests that family environmental factors may have an effect upon childhood IQ , accounting for up to a quarter of the variance . The American Psychological Association 's report `` Intelligence : Knowns and Unknowns '' ( 1995 ) states that there is no doubt that normal child development requires a certain minimum level of responsible care . Here , environment is playing a role in what is believed to be fully genetic ( intelligence ) but it was found that severely deprived , neglectful , or abusive environments have highly negative effects on many aspects of children 's intellect development . Beyond that minimum , however , the role of family experience is in serious dispute . On the other hand , by late adolescence this correlation disappears , such that adoptive siblings no longer have similar IQ scores . Moreover , adoption studies indicate that , by adulthood , adoptive siblings are no more similar in IQ than strangers ( IQ correlation near zero ) , while full siblings show an IQ correlation of 0.6 . Twin studies reinforce this pattern : monozygotic ( identical ) twins raised separately are highly similar in IQ ( 0.74 ) , more so than dizygotic ( fraternal ) twins raised together ( 0.6 ) and much more than adoptive siblings ( ~ 0.0 ) . Recent adoption studies also found that supportive parents can have a positive effect on the development of their children . Personality traits ( edit ) Main article : Personality psychology § Genetic basis of personality Personality is a frequently cited example of a heritable trait that has been studied in twins and adoptees using behavioral genetic study designs . The most famous categorical organization of heritable personality traits were created by Goldberg ( 1990 ) in which he had college students rate their personalities on 1400 dimensions to begin , and then narrowed these down into `` The Big Five '' factors of personality -- Openness , conscientiousness , extraversion , agreeableness , and neuroticism . The close genetic relationship between positive personality traits and , for example , our happiness traits are the mirror images of comorbidity in psychopathology . These personality factors were consistent across cultures , and many experiments have also tested the heritability of these traits . Identical twins reared apart are far more similar in personality than randomly selected pairs of people . Likewise , identical twins are more similar than fraternal twins . Also , biological siblings are more similar in personality than adoptive siblings . Each observation suggests that personality is heritable to a certain extent . A supporting article had focused on the heritability of personality ( which is estimated to be around 50 % for subjective well - being ) in which an experiment was conducted using a representative sample of 973 twin pairs to test the heritable differences in subjective well - being which were found to be fully accounted for by the genetic model of the Five - Factor Model 's personality domains . However , these same study designs allow for the examination of environment as well as genes . Adoption studies also directly measure the strength of shared family effects . Adopted siblings share only family environment . Most adoption studies indicate that by adulthood the personalities of adopted siblings are little or no more similar than random pairs of strangers . This would mean that shared family effects on personality are zero by adulthood . In the case of personality traits , non-shared environmental effects are often found to out - weigh shared environmental effects . That is , environmental effects that are typically thought to be life - shaping ( such as family life ) may have less of an impact than non-shared effects , which are harder to identify . One possible source of non-shared effects is the environment of pre-natal development . Random variations in the genetic program of development may be a substantial source of non-shared environment . These results suggest that `` nurture '' may not be the predominant factor in `` environment '' . Environment and our situations , do in fact impact our lives , but not the way in which we would typically react to these environmental factors . We are preset with personality traits that are the basis for how we would react to situations . An example would be how extraverted prisoners become less happy than introverted prisoners and would react to their incarceration more negatively due to their preset extraverted personality . Behavioral genes are somewhat proven to exist when we take a look at fraternal twins . When fraternal twins are reared apart , they show the same similarities in behavior and response as if they have been reared together . Genetics ( edit ) Genomics ( edit ) Main article : Genomics The relationship between personality and people 's own well - being is influenced and mediated by genes ( Weiss , Bates , & Luciano , 2008 ) . There has been found to be a stable set point for happiness that is characteristic of the individual ( largely determined by the individual 's genes ) . Happiness fluctuates around that setpoint ( again , genetically determined ) based on whether good things or bad things are happening to us ( `` nurture '' ) , but only fluctuates in small magnitude in a normal human . The midpoint of these fluctuations is determined by the `` great genetic lottery '' that people are born with , which leads them to conclude that how happy they may feel at the moment or over time is simply due to the luck of the draw , or gene . This fluctuation was also not due to educational attainment , which only accounted for less than 2 % of the variance in well - being for women , and less than 1 % of the variance for men . With the advent of genomic sequencing , it has become possible to search for and identify specific gene polymorphisms that affect traits such as IQ and personality . These techniques work by tracking the association of differences in a trait of interest with differences in specific molecular markers or functional variants . An example of a visible human trait for which the precise genetic basis of differences are relatively well known is eye color . For traits with many genes affecting the outcome , a smaller portion of the variance is currently understood : For instance for height known gene variants account for around 5 -- 10 % of height variance at present . When discussing the significant role of genetic heritability in relation to one 's level of happiness , it has been found that from 44 % to 52 % of the variance in one 's well - being is associated with genetic variation . Based on the retest of smaller samples of twins studies after 4 , 5 , and 10 years , it is estimated that the heritability of the genetic stable component of subjective well - being approaches 80 % . Other studies that have found that genes are a large influence in the variance found in happiness measures , exactly around 35 -- 50 % . Linkage and association studies ( edit ) In their attempts to locate the genes responsible for configuring certain phenotypes , researches resort to two different techniques . Linkage study facilitates the process of determining a specific location in which a gene of interested is located . This methodology is applied only among individuals that are related and does not serve to pinpoint specific genes . It does , however , narrow down the area of search , making it easier to locate one or several genes in the genome which constitute a specific trait . Association studies , on the other hand , are more hypothetic and seek to verify whether a particular genetic variable really influences the phenotype of interest . In association studies it is more common to use case - control approach , comparing the subject with relatively higher or lower hereditary determinants with the control subject .

Ohio State has played their home games at Ohio Stadium in Columbus , Ohio since 1922 . The Buckeyes are recognized by the university and NCAA as having won eight national championships along with 38 conference championships ( including 36 Big Ten titles ) , six division championships , 10 undefeated seasons , and six perfect seasons of having no losses or ties . The first Ohio State game was a 20 - 14 victory over Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware , Ohio , on May 3 , 1890 . The team was a football independent from 1890 to 1901 before joining the Ohio Athletic Conference ( OAC ) as a charter member in 1902 . The Buckeyes won two conference championships while members of the OAC and in 1912 became members of the Big Ten Conference . Ohio State won their first national championship in 1942 under head coach Paul Brown . Following World War II , Ohio State saw sparse success on the football field with three separate coaches and in 1951 hired Woody Hayes to coach the team . Under Hayes , Ohio State won over 200 total games , 13 Big Ten championships and five national championships ( 1954 , 1957 , 1961 , 1968 and 1970 ) , and had four Rose Bowl wins in eight appearances . Following Hayes ' dismissal in 1978 , Earle Bruce and later John Cooper coached the team to a combined seven conference championships between them . Jim Tressel was hired as head coach in 2001 and led Ohio State to its seventh national championship in 2002 with a win in the Fiesta Bowl . Ohio State won seven Big Ten championships under Tressel and appeared in eight Bowl Championship Series ( BCS ) games , winning five of them . On November 28 , 2011 , two - time National Championship winning coach and Ohio native Urban Meyer became head coach . Meyer led his team to five division championships in his first five seasons as well as a school record 24 straight victories , beginning with a perfect 12 -- 0 in 2012 . He led OSU to both the Big Ten and the first College Football Playoff National Championship of its kind in the 2014 season , giving Meyer his third national title overall and first at OSU . As of 2017 , the football program is valued at $1.5 billion , the highest valuation of any such program in the country .

On the site of the first OSU game , on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware , Ohio , on May 3 , 1890 , the Delaware County Historical Society has set an historical marker . Some histories of Ohio State football credit George Cole , an undergraduate , and Alexander S. Lilley with introducing the sport to the campus . More recent research has challenged that claim , stating that George Cole persuaded Lilley to coach the football team during its first full season that fall . OSU 's first home game took place at 2 : 30 p.m. on November 1 , 1890 . The Ohio State University played the University of Wooster on this site , which was then called Recreation Park . Just east of historic German Village , the park occupied the north side of Schiller ( now Whittier ) between Ebner and Jaeger in what is now Schumacher Place . The weather was perfect , and the crowd cheered loudly . Nonetheless , OSU lost to Wooster , 64 -- 0 . Wooster , physically fit for the game , showed OSU that training is critical to winning . Thus , the tradition of training continues . Over the next eight years , under a number of coaches , the team played to a cumulative record of 31 wins , 39 losses , and 2 ties . The first game against the University of Michigan , in Ann Arbor , was a 34 -- 0 loss in 1897 , a year that saw the low point in Buckeye football history with a 1 -- 7 -- 1 record . Jack Ryder was Ohio State 's first paid coach , earning $150 per season , and lost his first game , against Oberlin College and John Heisman , on October 15 , 1892 . In 1899 the university hired John Eckstorm to bring professional coaching skills to the program and immediately went undefeated . In 1901 , however , center John Segrist was fatally injured in a game against Western Reserve University and the continuation of football at Ohio State was in serious question . Although the school 's athletic board let the team decide its future , Eckstorm resigned . In 1912 football underwent a number of developments that included joining the Western Conference , making football as part of a new Department of Athletics , and hiring Lynn W. St. John to be athletic director . Chic Harley attended East High in Columbus and was one of the greatest players to attend an Ohio high school . He passed , ran , received , punted , kicked and played defense . Harley came to Ohio State in 1916 and Columbus fans instantly fell in love with the Chic . Harley and the Buckeyes won the very first Big Ten championship in school history in 1916 when the Buckeyes finished 7 -- 0 . He would repeat in 1917 finishing 8 -- 0 -- 1 , giving the Buckeyes a second outright title . In 1918 , he left to be a pilot in the air force for World War I. With Harley 's return in 1919 , the Buckeyes would only lose one game -- to Illinois . Chic Harley left OSU with a career record of 22 -- 1 -- 1 . At the time , OSU played at the small Ohio Field and Harley brought such record crowds it became necessary to open Ohio Stadium in 1922 . The stadium was built entirely on fan donations and several stadium drives around the city where Harley would often appear . In 1951 , when the College Football Hall of Fame opened , Harley was inducted as an inaugural member . Ohio State 's very first rival was Kenyon College , a small liberal arts college in Gambier , roughly 50 miles to the northeast . The Buckeyes first played them in their first season in 1890 on Nov 27 , Kenyon won the first two meetings ; however , Ohio State won 15 in a row and the rivalry diminished . Kenyon made it their season goal to defeat OSU . After the Bucks joined the Big Ten they stopped playing Kenyon . The all - time record stands at 18 -- 6 , OSU . Francis Schmidt ( 1934 -- 1940 ) ( edit ) In hiring Francis Schmidt in March 1934 to coach its football team , Ohio State moved its program to a `` big - time '' level of competition . Schmidt was a well - established coach and an acknowledged offensive innovator . His offensive schemes were a `` wide - open '' style called `` razzle - dazzle '' and led him to be the first Buckeye football coach granted a multi-year contract . Schmidt 's first four seasons saw victories over archrival Michigan , all by shut - out . The 1935 squad went 7 -- 1 , its sole loss was to Notre Dame , 18 -- 13 , in the first contest between the programs . However Schmidt 's remaining seasons were less successful , except in 1939 when the Buckeyes won the Big Ten championship , and his popularity faded for a number of reasons . On December 17 , 1940 , he resigned . Paul Brown ( 1941 -- 1943 ) ( edit ) Paul Brown ( shown here as head coach of the Cleveland Browns ) -- who led the Buckeyes to their first national championship in 1942 . Ohio State hired the coach of Massillon Washington High School football team , Paul Brown , to succeed Schmidt . Brown 's Tigers had just won their sixth straight state championship . Brown immediately changed Ohio State 's style of offense , planned and organized his program in great detail , and delegated to his assistant coaches using highly structured practices . In 1942 , Ohio State lost 22 veteran players to military service as the United States joined World War II , and with a team of mostly sophomores went on to lose only once in winning its first national championship . Carroll Widdoes ( 1944 -- 1945 ) , Paul Bixler ( 1946 ) and wes Fesler ( 1947 -- 1950 ) ( edit ) Brown accepted a commission in the United States Navy in 1944 and directed his assistant Carroll Widdoes to head the team in his absence . The 1944 team fielded 31 freshmen but went undefeated and untied , including a victory over Paul Brown 's Great Lakes Navy team . Ohio State finished second in the national rankings behind Army and Les Horvath became the first Buckeye to be awarded the Heisman Trophy . Also prominent on the 1942 -- 44 teams was the first Buckeye African American star , Bill Willis . Brown chose not to return to Ohio State after the war , going into professional football instead . Widdoes , despite having the highest two - year winning percentage of any Buckeye coach , asked to return to an assistant 's position . Offensive coordinator Paul Bixler and Widdoes switched positions , and Bixler endured a mediocre 4 -- 3 -- 2 season . Bixler resigned and talk of Ohio State being a `` graveyard of coaches '' became commonplace , a reputation that lingered for decades . Wes Fesler became head coach in 1947 but finished last in the Big Ten for the only time in team history . Ohio State improved greatly in 1948 , winning 6 and losing 3 , then in 1949 enjoyed a successful season due to the play of sophomore Vic Janowicz . Ohio State received the Rose Bowl invitation , where they came from behind to defeat California . In 1950 Fesler , rumored to be resigning because of pressures associated with the position and abuse of his family by anonymous critics , returned to coach the Buckeyes , who won six games in a row to move into the top ranking in the AP poll . However , the season fell apart as the Buckeyes lost to Michigan during a blizzard , a game that came to be known as the `` Snow Bowl '' . Two weeks later , citing concerns about his health and family , Fesler resigned . Woody Hayes era ( 1951 -- 1978 ) ( edit ) Wayne Woodrow `` Woody '' Hayes beat out Paul Brown , among others , to be named head coach on February 18 , 1951 . He instituted a demanding practice regimen and was both aggressive and vocal in enforcing it , alienating many players accustomed to Fesler 's laid - back style . The 1951 Buckeyes won 4 , lost 3 , and tied 2 , leaving many to question the ability of the new coach . In 1952 the team improved to 6 -- 3 , and recorded their first victory over Michigan in eight years , but after a 1953 loss to Michigan , critics called for the replacement of Hayes . In 1954 the Buckeyes were picked to finish no higher than 10th in the Big Ten . Hayes , however , had the talents of Howard `` Hopalong '' Cassady , and a historic goal - line stand against Michigan propelled Ohio State to a perfect season . Hayes led the powerhouse Buckeyes to a shared national championship ( his first and the team 's second ) . In 1955 the team again won the Big Ten , set an attendance record , and won in Ann Arbor for the first time in 18 years , while Hopalong Cassady was securing the Heisman Trophy . Ohio State passed only three times against Michigan ( the sole reception was the only completion in the final three games of the year ) , leading to characterization of Hayes ' style of offensive play as `` three yards and a cloud of dust '' . In a 1955 article in Sports Illustrated , Hayes admitted making small personal loans to financially needy players . The article resulted in a furor over possible violations of NCAA rules , and the faculty council , followed by the Big Ten and NCAA , conducted lengthy investigations . Big Ten Commissioner Kenneth `` Tug '' Wilson found Hayes and the program guilty of violations and placed it on a year 's probation in 1956 . In 1957 Ohio State won all of its remaining games after an opening loss to claim the Big Ten championship , win the Rose Bowl over Oregon , and share a national title with Auburn , for which Hayes was named Coach of the Year . In 1961 the team went undefeated to be named national champions by the FWAA but a growing conflict between academics and athletics over Ohio State 's reputation as a `` football school '' resulted in a faculty council vote to decline an invitation to the Rose Bowl , resulting in much public protest and debate . Over the next 6 seasons Ohio State finished no higher than 2nd , and had a losing season in 1966 , and public speculation that Hayes would be replaced as coach grew to its highest point since 1953 . In 1968 Ohio State defeated the number one - ranked Purdue Boilermakers and continued to an undefeated season including a 50 -- 14 rout of Michigan and a Rose Bowl victory over the USC Trojans that resulted in the national championship . The Class of 1970 became known as the `` super sophomores '' in 1968 , and might have gone on to three consecutive national championships except for what may have been the most bitter loss in Buckeye history . The winning streak reached 22 games as Ohio State traveled to Michigan . The Buckeyes were 17 - point favorites but directed by first - year coach Bo Schembechler , Michigan shocked the Buckeyes in a 24 -- 12 upset . The 1969 loss to Michigan initiated what came to be known as `` The Ten Year War '' , in which the rivalry , which pitted some of OSU 's and UM 's strongest teams ever , rose to the uppermost level of all sports and the competition between Schembechler and Hayes became legendary . Four times between 1970 and 1975 , Ohio State and Michigan were both ranked in the top five of the AP Poll before their matchup . The Wolverines entered every game during those years undefeated and won only once , a 10 -- 7 victory in Ann Arbor on November 20 , 1971 . Both teams used the annual game as motivation for entire seasons and after the initial win by Michigan , played dead even at four wins and a tie apiece . Hayes had the upper hand during the first part of the war , in which Ohio State won the conference championship and went to the Rose Bowl four straight years , while Michigan won the final three . It was also an era in which through television Ohio State football again came to the forefront of national attention . Hayes set the tone in spring practice in 1970 , placing a rug at the entrance to the Buckeye dressing room emblazoned with the words : `` 1969 MICH 24 OSU 12 -- 1970 MICH : __ OSU : __ '' as a constant reminder of their objective . The `` super sophomores '' , now seniors , used a strong fullback - oriented offense to smash their way through the season undefeated , struggling only with Purdue the week before the Michigan game . The return match in Columbus found both teams undefeated and untied , a `` first '' in the history of the rivalry , with Michigan ranked fourth and Ohio State fifth . Ohio State combined a powerful defense that held Michigan to only 37 yards rushing , a rushing offense employing two tight ends as blockers , and a 26 - yard touchdown pass from Kern to Bruce Jankowski to win 20 -- 9 . The Buckeyes returned to the Rose Bowl to be upset by Stanford 27 -- 17 . The `` super sophomores '' had garnered a record of 27 -- 2 , the best winning percentage of any three - year period in team history , and won or shared the Big Ten title all three years . The National Football Foundation named Ohio State its national champion for 1970 . 1971 was less successful than the preceding seasons , but the middle four years of the 10 - year war saw the greatest success for Hayes against Michigan , although the teams fell short of repeating their 1968 national championship . Archie Griffin began his college football career in 1972 , taking advantage of new NCAA eligibility rules that allowed freshmen to compete at the varsity level . In his second game , sent in against North Carolina late in the first quarter , Griffin set a new Buckeye rushing record with 239 yards and led the team in rushing for the season with 867 . Former Buckeyes RB Archie Griffin , the only two - time Heisman Trophy winner in college football history ( 1974 -- 75 ) The following season Hayes installed an I - formation attack with Griffin at tailback and fellow sophomore Cornelius Greene at quarterback . The Buckeyes went undefeated with a powerful offense and equally impenetrable defense , achieving an average margin of victory of 31 points a game . The only blemish on their record was a 10 -- 10 tie with Michigan after both teams had entered the game unbeaten . ( The tie was more galling for the Wolverines , however , as the Big Ten selected Ohio State to represent the conference in the Rose Bowl . ) Despite soundly defeating defending national champion USC , however , the tie with Michigan resulted in the Buckeyes finishing second to Notre Dame in the final AP rankings . Griffin , Randy Gradishar , Van DeCree , and John Hicks were named All - Americans ; Hicks , an offensive tackle , not only won both the Outland and Lombardi Trophies , but placed second in the Heisman Trophy competition . 1974 and 1975 were seasons of both elation and frustration . The Buckeyes twice more defeated Michigan and went to two Rose Bowls , but lost both . The 1974 team seemed bound for another national championship when it was derailed by a loss to unranked Michigan State ( Ohio State lost only twice in the regular season during Griffin 's 4 - year career , both to the Spartans ) , and the next year the # 1 - ranked Bucks lost 23 -- 10 to 11th - ranked UCLA in the 1976 Rose Bowl . In all the Buckeyes were 40 -- 5 -- 1 from 1972 -- 75 , winning the Big Ten all four years and never losing to Michigan , but each loss and the tie were crucial in failing to win another championship . Archie Griffin , however , received the Heisman Trophy for both years , off - setting much of the frustration , and amassed 5,589 yards in his career . The falloff in success of Hayes ' last three years was not great . His teams forged records of 9 -- 2 -- 1 , 9 -- 3 , and 7 -- 4 -- 1 , and made bowl appearances in all three years ( the rules had changed to allow appearances in other than the Rose Bowl ) . However frustrations in losing three straight years to Michigan , and other factors , resulted in growing criticism of Hayes and his methods , particularly his on - the - field fits of temper . Even so , his downfall was sudden and shocking when near the end of the nationally televised Gator Bowl , Hayes punched Clemson middle guard Charlie Bauman after Bauman intercepted a pass to kill Ohio State 's last chance to win . Hayes was fired after the game by Ohio State president Harold Enarson and athletic director Hugh Hindman . Earle Bruce ( 1979 -- 1987 ) ( edit ) Hayes was replaced by a former protégé , Earle Bruce . Bruce inherited a strong team led by sophomore quarterback Art Schlichter but that had also lost eleven starters , and the 1979 squad exceeded pre-season expectations , ending the 3 - year loss drought against Michigan and going to the Rose Bowl with an opportunity once again to be national champions . The Buckeyes lost both by a single point , 17 -- 16 , but Bruce was named Coach of the Year . His success was hailed by those in the media who saw it as a rebuke of Hayes and the start of a `` new era '' . 1980 , however , saw the start of a trend that eventually brought criticism to Bruce , when Ohio State finished with a 9 -- 3 record , the first of six consecutive years at 9 -- 3 . Though each of these seasons , and the 10 -- 3 season that followed them , culminated in a bowl game , Ohio State did not appear to be any closer to a national championship than during the end of the Hayes era . Bruce 's teams were not without impact players , however . All - Americans and future National Football League stars included Keith Byars , Cris Carter , Chris Spielman , John Frank , Jim Lachey , Tom Tupa , Marcus Marek , and Pepper Johnson . His program was also known for the number of notable assistant coaches on staff , including Jim Tressel , Glen Mason , Pete Carroll , Nick Saban , Urban Meyer and Dom Capers . The 1980 team was selected as the top - ranked team of the pre-season AP poll and opened the season with four games at home , but were shocked in the fourth game by UCLA , shut out 17 -- 0 . The team rebounded to win its next six easily , but then were shut down by a ball - control Michigan team that allowed the Buckeyes only 23 minutes with the ball , then lost again to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl . In 1981 , Ohio State opened strong , including a victory at Stanford in which senior Art Schlichter out - dueled John Elway , but then lost back - to - back games to Florida State and Wisconsin ( their first victory over the Buckeyes in 22 games ) . The Buckeyes continued to struggle on defense , losing a third time , at Minnesota . Victories over Michigan to gain a share of the Big Ten championship and over Navy in the Liberty Bowl salvaged the season . For the first time since 1922 the Buckeyes lost three in a row in Ohio Stadium in 1982 , including rematches with Stanford and Florida State , and for the second year in a row to Wisconsin , but then won seven straight , the last over BYU in the Holiday Bowl . Sophomore running back Keith Byars had a stand - out season in 1983 , rushing for 1,199 yards , and Ohio State defeated the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman , but three losses in conference meant a 4th - place finish . 1984 witnessed what Bruce called `` the greatest comeback after the worst start '' when Ohio State fell behind Illinois 24 -- 0 at home but roared back on 274 yards rushing and five touchdowns by Byars to win 45 -- 38 . Ohio State also defeated Michigan to win an outright Big Ten championship . Byars led the nation in rushing and scoring but finished second in Heisman balloting . Byars broke his toe just prior to the start of the 1985 season , ending his Heisman hopes and seriously handicapping the Buckeye attack . He returned against Purdue with Ohio State at 4 -- 1 and scored twice , but then re-injured his foot the next week against Minnesota . Iowa was top - ranked nationally when they came into Ohio Stadium favored to end the longest home winning streak in the country , and were the first # 1 team the Buckeyes faced since Purdue in 1968 . Ohio State 's defense dominated with four interceptions to win 22 -- 13 . In 1986 Bruce received a 3 - year contract , the first for the modern program but the team opened with two losses , which had not occurred in over 90 years . The Buckeyes then won 9 in a row before Michigan took a close game when kicker Matt Frantz missed a field goal with a minute to play . After the season Bruce was offered the position of head coach at the University of Arizona with a 5 - year contract but was persuaded to stay at his alma mater by Athletic Director Rick Bay . Hopes for a standout season in 1987 suffered a serious setback when All - American wide receiver Cris Carter was dropped from the team for signing with an agent . Indiana defeated Ohio State for the first time since 1951 , 31 -- 10 , in a game that came to be known as the `` darkest day '' , and Ohio State lost three conference games in a row going into the Michigan game . On the Monday of Michigan week , after a weekend of rumors and speculation , Ohio State President Edward Jennings fired Bruce but tried to keep the dismissal secret until after the end of the season . Bay , who had been instrumental in keeping Bruce at Ohio State , disregarded Jennings ' orders and announced the firing and his own resignation in protest . Jennings made his own situation worse by refusing to give a reason for the firing and the circumstances have been the subject of controversy since . The Buckeyes enjoyed an emotional come - from - behind victory over Michigan in Ann Arbor after the entire team wore headbands bearing the word `` EARLE '' , then declined an invitation to play in the Sun Bowl . John Cooper ( 1988 -- 2000 ) ( edit ) John Cooper was hired as the 21st football head coach at Ohio State before the end of 1987 and before he had coached his last game at Arizona State University . Cooper 's coaching record at ASU and at Tulsa prior to that stood out among his credentials , as did a victory over Michigan in the 1987 Rose Bowl . Cooper 's thirteen years as Buckeye head coach are largely remembered in the litany of negative statistics associated with him : a notorious 2 -- 10 -- 1 record against Michigan , a 3 -- 8 record in bowl games , a 5 - year losing streak to Illinois to start his term and a 6 -- 7 record overall , and blowing a 15 - point 3rd quarter lead in a 28 -- 24 loss to unranked Michigan State when the Buckeyes were the top - ranked team in the nation and en route to a national championship . However his record also has many positives : back - to - back victories over Notre Dame , two finishes second - ranked in the polls , and three Big Ten championships ( albeit shared ) . Cooper also recruited 15 players who were first - round draft picks in the National Football League . Both 1988 and 1989 began identically : an impressive season - opening win followed by an embarrassing loss to a highly regarded team ( Pitt and USC ) ; a rebound win against two other highly regarded programs ( LSU and Boston College ) followed by a loss to Illinois in the conference opener . However 1988 saw Ohio State lose its first three conference games and a close game at home against Michigan for a 4 -- 6 -- 1 record , its first losing season in 22 years . In 1989 the Buckeyes won 6 consecutive Big Ten games before losing its last two to go 8 -- 4 . The most noteworthy victory occurred in Minneapolis when Ohio State overcame a 31 -- 0 deficit to Minnesota to win 41 -- 37 . 1990 continued the pattern with a 2 - win 2 - loss start and an overall 7 -- 4 -- 1 record that included an embarrassing loss to Air Force in the Liberty Bowl. 1991 was 8 -- 4 , notable primarily as the season that sophomore running back Robert Smith quit the team . 1992 , with senior Kirk Herbstreit at quarterback , and Smith back on the team was 8 -- 3 -- 1 , but the losing string to Michigan was broken with a 13 -- 13 tie . Persistent rumors that Cooper would resign or be fired were laid to rest when University President Gordon Gee announced he would be back in 1993 . Former Buckeyes RB Eddie George , who won the 1995 Heisman Trophy . The next 6 seasons were very successful , winning ten or more games in 5 of the 6 and sharing the conference championship in three . Eddie George won the Heisman Trophy in 1995 after a tremendous senior season , Ohio State defeated Notre Dame in 1995 and 1996 , and won half its bowl games . But in three seasons ( 1993 , 1995 , and 1996 ) the Buckeyes entered the Michigan game undefeated , with the possibility of a national championship in at least one , and lost all three to underdog Wolverine teams . Ohio State had won 62 games and lost only 12 , but a third of those were to Michigan . After renewing his contract and becoming a member of the `` million dollar coaching club '' , Cooper started sophomore Austin Moherman against the Miami Hurricanes in the nationally televised Kickoff Classic and was soundly beaten . That presaged a mediocre season in which the Buckeyes finished 6 -- 6 , ending their successful 90 's run . The 2000 team was more successful , going 8 -- 4 , but criticism of Cooper among fans had risen to a clamor again and touched on many areas of the program beyond specific game records . The negative publicity rose to a peak in the days leading up to Ohio State 's matchup with South Carolina in the Outback Bowl , when wide receiver Reggie Germany was suspended for having a 0.0 GPA , team captain Matt Wilhelm publicly criticized fellow player Ken - Yon Rambo , and one Buckeye lineman sued another . In January 2001 , the Ohio State University dismissed Cooper . His loss in the Outback Bowl to a team that had not even won a single game the year before was a factor in his subsequent firing , as was negative publicity regarding player behavior before and during the game . Other contributing factors included the record against Michigan ( which was actually considered by most people to be the biggest reason for his firing ) , a reputation of inability to win `` big games '' , the lack of a national championship , the perception of him as an outsider by many alumni , the poor bowl game record , and finally a perceived lack of discipline on the team . Jim Tressel ( 2001 -- 2010 ) ( edit ) Former head coach Jim Tressel , who led the Buckeyes to the 2002 national championship . Ohio State quickly sought a replacement for Cooper and after a nationwide search hired Jim Tressel . With four NCAA Division I - AA National Championships at Youngstown State University , Tressel , formerly an assistant coach for Earle Bruce , was an Ohioan who was considered to be appreciative of Buckeye football traditions . Although there were some doubts as to whether or not Tressel could repeat his earlier success at the Division 1A level , most fans and alumni met the coaching change with enthusiasm . On the day of his hiring , Jim Tressel , speaking to fans and students at a Buckeye basketball game , made a prophetic implication that he would lead the Buckeyes to beat Michigan in Ann Arbor the following November . Tressel 's first season was difficult as the Buckeyes finished 7 -- 5 ( all but one loss was by a touchdown or less ) , but he made good on his promise , beating Michigan in Ann Arbor . While its fans were optimistic about the chance for success of the 2002 team , most observers were surprised by Ohio State 's National Championship . Ohio State used strong defense , ball - control play - calling , and field position tactics to win numerous close games , a style of play characterized as `` Tresselball '' , and disparaged by detractors as `` the Luckeyes '' . The 2006 and 2007 regular seasons ended with just one combined loss and consecutive appearances in the national championship game . The Buckeyes lost both by wide margins . On January 1 , 2010 , the Buckeyes defeated the Oregon Ducks in The Rose Bowl Game by a score of 26 -- 17 . This ended a 3 - game BCS losing streak for Ohio State , having lost 2 national championships and one Tostitos Fiesta Bowl . Terrelle Pryor was named MVP of the contest with 2 touchdown passes for a career - high 266 passing yards . In addition , he had more total yards than the entire Oregon Ducks team . Former Buckeyes QB Troy Smith ( shown as a member of the NFL 's Baltimore Ravens ) , the 2006 Heisman Trophy winner In December 2010 it was announced that five student - athletes on the Ohio State University football team would be suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for NCAA violations . The punishments stemmed from an incident when some of the Buckeye players received tattoos for their autographs , according to news reports . Other violations committed by the players included the selling of several items given to them by the University , such as Big Ten championship rings . On January 4 , 2011 , Ohio State completed its season with a 31 -- 26 win over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl . The Sugar Bowl win would have marked Ohio State 's first bowl victory over a Southeastern Conference opponent in ten attempts , but the win was later vacated due to NCAA violations . Ohio State ended up with an 0 -- 1 record ( the lone loss from the Wisconsin Badgers ) for the 2010 season after vacating its wins for NCAA violations . `` Tattoogate '' ( edit ) On December 22 , 2010 , the NCAA announced that five players would be suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season due to receiving improper benefits . Mike Adams , Dan Herron , DeVier Posey , Solomon Thomas , and quarterback Terrelle Pryor were found to have signed autographs in return for tattoos , as well as selling memorabilia given to them by the university . In addition , Jordan Whiting was suspended for the season opener for his involvement . The scandal originated at Fine Line Tattoos and Piercings in Columbus whose owner , Edward Rife , was being investigated for felony drug trafficking . On January 4 , 2011 , with all the players allowed to participate by the NCAA , the Buckeyes defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks in the Sugar Bowl by a margin of 31 -- 26 . The win along with every other one from the 2010 season would later be vacated due to the scandal . The Buckeyes finished the season 0 -- 1 , with their only official game being a loss to Wisconsin . On March 8 , 2011 , OSU suspended head coach Jim Tressel for the first 2 games of the 2011 season and fined him $250,000 for not informing the university and the NCAA that he had knowledge of his players receiving improper benefits . Coach Tressel 's suspension would later be increased to 5 games by the university . On May 30 , 2011 Jim Tressel resigned as head coach of the Buckeyes . On June 6 , 2011 , a story in Sports Illustrated reported that at least 28 players , including Rob Rose , T.J. Downing , Louis Irizarry , Chris Vance , C.J. Barnett , Dorien Bell , Jamaal Berry , Bo DeLande , Zach Domicone , Storm Klein , Etienne Sabino , John Simon , Nathan Williams , Jermale Hines , Devon Torrence , Donald Washington , Thaddeus Gibson , Jermil Martin , Lamaar Thomas , and Doug Worthington traded team memorabilia or used equipment for tattoos or other merchandise or services between 2002 and 2010 . The report alleged that Tressel had violated NCAA bylaw 10.1 -- unethical conduct , three times by not acting when told of the tattoo improprieties , by signing a statement saying he knew of no violations , and for withholding information on what was going on from university officials . Luke Fickell ( 2011 ) ( edit ) On July 8 , 2011 , Ohio State University decided to vacate all victories from the 2010 football season as self - imposed punishment for major NCAA violations . Former coach Jim Tressel received more than $52,000 from the university and wo n't have to pay a $250,000 fine for his involvement in the scandal . His status is also changed from ' Resigned ' to `` Retired '' in keeping with his wishes to `` remain a Buckeye for life . '' Ohio State named Luke Fickell interim head coach for the 2011 season following Tressel 's resignation , and Fickell coached the 2011 Buckeyes to a 6 -- 7 record ; going 6 -- 6 in the regular season and losing in the Gator Bowl to Florida . Urban Meyer ( 2012 -- present ) ( edit ) Current head coach Urban Meyer , who has led the Buckeyes to five division titles , a Big 10 Championship , the 2014 national championship , and the team 's all - time record winning streak ( 24 ) . The logo for the 2014 National Champion Buckeyes , which celebrated the football program 's 125th anniversary . On November 28 , 2011 , former University of Florida head coach and ESPN college football analyst Urban Meyer accepted the position of Buckeyes head coach . Meyer assumed head coaching responsibilities following the Buckeyes ' January 2012 Gator Bowl appearance . Meyer 's first season at Ohio State did not include a postseason contest , as the Buckeyes were sanctioned with a one - year bowl ban on December 20 , 2011 . The NCAA sanctions also included the loss of three scholarships each year for the following three years and three years ' probation to end on December 19 , 2014 . Ohio State was required to vacate all wins from the 2010 season , the 2010 Big Ten Conference championship and their win in the 2011 Sugar Bowl . The school 's share of the Sugar Bowl proceeds were forfeited as well . In Meyer 's first year , the Buckeyes went a perfect 12 -- 0 , winning the 2012 Big Ten Leaders Division , though the previously mentioned sanctions kept them from playing in the 2012 Big Ten Football Championship Game and a postseason bowl game . The Buckeyes played their 2013 Spring game at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati , home of the Bengals on April 13 , 2013 . The Scarlet won 31 -- 14 . On November 23 , 2013 , the Buckeyes clinched their second straight Leaders Division Championship , after defeating Indiana 42 -- 14 . With the victory over Indiana , Ohio State set a team record for all - time consecutive wins , with 23 . The following week , Ohio State defeated Michigan 42 -- 41 in Ann Arbor , to increase the streak to 24 . The streak ended with Ohio State 's 34 -- 24 loss to Michigan State in the 2013 Big 10 Conference Championship game on December 7 , marking Meyer 's first loss as the Buckeyes ' head coach . On January 3 , 2014 , the Buckeyes were defeated by Clemson in the Orange Bowl 40 -- 35 . On November 22 , 2014 , the Buckeyes clinched the first ever Big Ten East Division Championship when they defeated Indiana 42 - 27 , earning a berth in the 2014 Big Ten Championship Game , where they defeated West Division champion Wisconsin 59 - 0 to win the Big Ten Conference Championship and qualified for the four - team playoff to decide the National Champion . OSU defeated Alabama in the Sugar Bowl 42 - 35 , on January 1 , 2015 , to qualify for the National Championship Game against Rose Bowl winner Oregon on January 12 ( the Rose and Sugar Bowls were the designated semifinal games in 2014 ) . OSU claimed the first ever College Football Playoff National Championship by defeating Oregon 42 - 20 . The 2015 season for the Buckeyes began with a 10 - 0 start before losing on a last second field goal to Michigan State on November 21 , ending the Buckeyes quest to repeat as National Champions . However , the Buckeyes recovered their 2 next games with dominating wins over Michigan and then over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl to finish the season at 12 - 1 . Home venues ( edit ) Recreation Park ( Columbus ) ( 1890 -- 97 ) Ohio Field ( 1898 -- 1921 ) Ohio Stadium ( 1922 -- present ) Traditions ( edit ) Ohio State football is rich in traditions . The following are football traditions in chronological order of longevity : Senior tackle Begun in 1913 by head coach John Wilce , seniors on the team are recognized at the last practice of the season , either before the Michigan game or before departing Columbus to play in a bowl game , and hit the blocking sled a final time . Illibuck The Illibuck Trophy -- the prize for the winner of the OSU - Illinois game . The Buckeyes are 64 - time Illibuck Trophy winners since the award was established in 1925 . The winner of the Ohio State - Illinois game has been awarded the Illibuck Trophy since 1925 . Until 1927 the teams played for a live turtle , however , since the 1928 season the trophy is a carved wooden likeness of a turtle . Gold pants A gold miniature charm depicting a pair of football pants is given to all players and coaches following a victory over the Michigan Wolverines . The tradition began as the result of a comment to reporters by newly hired head coach Francis Schmidt on March 2 , 1934 : `` How about Michigan ? They put their pants on one leg at a time , the same as we do ! '' The first gold pants , which were a creation of Simon Lazarus ( president of the Lazarus chain of department stores ) and Herbert Levy , were awarded that year for a 34 -- 0 defeat of the Wolverines . Captain 's Breakfast 1934 also saw the first gathering of former team captains for breakfast on the Sunday following the Homecoming game . The event began when local businessman Walter Jeffrey invited twenty former captains to the Scioto Country Club to honor them , and continues to welcome new captains and award them mugs bearing their names and season . Buckeye Grove Begun in 1934 , each player who wins `` first - team All - America '' honors is recognized by the planting of a buckeye tree and installation of a plaque in Buckeye Grove , now located near the southwestern corner of Ohio Stadium next to Morrill Tower . Trees are planted in ceremonies held prior to the Spring Game . All 126 Buckeye All - Americans dating back to 1914 have been so honored . Michigan Week Since 1935 the annual game against Michigan ( known as `` that team up north '' for Ohio State fans ) has been the final meeting of the regular season for both teams . The week prior to `` The Game '' , known as Michigan Week , is characterized by scheduled school spirit and public service events , such as rallies , touch football games , and blood drives ; and by massive displays of school colors and banners in much of Ohio . In an unofficial culmination to Michigan Week , since 1990 on the Thursday night before `` The Game '' students have participated in the `` Mirror Lake jump '' , an unofficial gathering at Mirror Lake , a pond between Pomerene Hall and The Oval , in which masses of students jump into the water . Block O Block O in a game in the south stands Since 1938 the registered student organization Block O has been the `` Official Cheering Section '' of the Buckeyes . `` Known for spreading spirit , starting cheers and performing card stunts , Block ' O ' was founded ... by Clancy Isaac . '' They occupy Section 39A in the South grandstand of Ohio Stadium , next to the band . Victory Bell The Victory Bell is rung after every Ohio State victory by members of Alpha Phi Omega , a tradition that began after the Bucks beat California October 2 , 1954 . Reputedly the ringing can be heard five miles away `` on a calm day . '' Located 150 feet high in the southeast tower of Ohio Stadium , the bell was a gift of the classes of 1943 , 1944 and 1945 , and weighs 2,420 pounds . The bell is rung for 15 minutes following a victory and for 30 minutes following a victory over Michigan . Brutus Buckeye Brutus Buckeye -- OSU 's popular longtime mascot . Beginning in 1965 , Brutus Buckeye has appeared at all Ohio State football games as the live mascot of the Buckeyes . In 2007 he was inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame and is now one of the most recognized mascots in the United States . Hang on Sloopy First played at the Illinois game of October 9 , 1965 , the rock song Hang on Sloopy is now played by the marching band before the start of the fourth quarter , with fans performing an O-H-I-O chant in the intervals between the refrains . The song is also played to encourage the team 's defensive players when opponents are moving the ball on offense late in a game . The 116th Ohio General Assembly designated `` Hang On Sloopy '' as the State rock song by House Concurrent Resolution 16 on November 20 , 1985 . It is also played before the fourth quarter at Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals games , as well as during Cleveland Indians , Cincinnati Reds , Cleveland Cavaliers , and Columbus Blue Jackets games . Buckeye Leaves Since 1967 , the helmets of Ohio State players have been adorned with white decals approximately the size of a quarter depicting a buckeye leaf , awarded for making significant plays and for consistency of performance . In the 1970s , the decals were approximately the size of a Silver Dollar until the 1979 Season . Most believe that this practice began in 1968 when the Buckeyes switched to their present Silver Helmet design since the decals have become identified with that helmet . Mirror Lake Since 1990 as part of Michigan Week , OSU students typically jump into Mirror Lake -- located on campus -- the Thursday night before the game . The tradition is thought to bring good luck to the football team for the game . Since the 2010 season , the Thursday before `` The Game '' has been Thanksgiving . With most of the student body leaving campus for the holiday , the jump has since occurred on the Tuesday of Michigan Week . Tunnel of Pride The Tunnel of Pride began with the 1994 Michigan game when all former players who were in attendance formed a tunnel through which the team ran to take the field , and Ohio State beat its rival that day , 22 -- 6 . Rex Kern , quarterback of the 1968 National Championship team , and then Director of Athletics Andy Geiger together used the concept as a means of connecting current Buckeyes with those who played before them . The Tunnel of Pride was next formed for the 1995 Notre Dame game , which the Buckeyes also won . In each home game against Michigan since , the tradition has been repeated . Carmen Ohio Instituted by Coach Tressel in 2001 , at the conclusion of all home games the coaches , players and cheerleaders gather in the south end zone next to the marching band to sing the university 's alma mater , Carmen Ohio , to the student section . The Hive and pre-game circle Tressel brought to the Buckeye football program two pre-game traditions he developed at Youngstown State . Prior to its warmup routine before every football game , the team exits the locker room as a unit in a controlled manner , linked arm - in - arm in a group known as `` The Hive '' . After warmups the team returns to the locker room , and when it next appears , runs onto the field and forms a circle of players around the strength coach , then they go through their warmup routine . Marching band ( edit ) Script Ohio Main article : The Ohio State University Marching Band The Marching Band , often referred to as `` The Best Damn Band In The Land '' or by the acronym TBDBITL is the most visible and possibly best - known tradition of Ohio State football . Home games are preceded by three much - anticipated traditions , and a fourth , `` dotting the ' i ' '' of Script Ohio , enjoys a reputation all its own : Skull Session Ramp entrance The Back Bend Script Ohio Rivalries ( edit ) Main articles : Michigan -- Ohio State football rivalry , Illinois -- Ohio State football rivalry , and Ohio State -- Penn State football rivalry While its rivalry with the University of Michigan is its most renowned and intense , Ohio State has two other series marked by their longevity , both Big Ten Conference rivals , those of Indiana and Illinois . The series versus Indiana began as a non-conference matchup , with Indiana going undefeated at 4 -- 0 -- 1 . In conference , however , the Buckeyes ( despite losing the opening conference game ) are 70 - 8 - 4 through the 2014 season , the most wins against any opponent . Illinois also began with non-conference games ( 0 -- 1 -- 1 ) but became the longest continuous series in 2002 when the schools played in their 89th consecutive year ( that record was tied by Michigan in 2007 ) . Through 2014 Ohio State 's record against the Illini is 66 - 30 -- 4 . In 2007 , Ohio State was given their only defeat of the regular season by the Illini . When Penn State was added to the conference football play in 1993 , every member was given two designated rivals , teams to be played every year , with the other conference teams rotated out of the schedule at regular intervals . For geographic convenience , the Big Ten named Penn State as Ohio State 's new designated rival in addition to Michigan , and Illinois was set to be paired with in - state rival Northwestern and neighboring Indiana , and in doing so undermined Ohio State 's historical rivalry with Illinois . With Nebraska 's entry to the Big Ten and the establishment of division play in football , Ohio State and Illinois played every season in the Leaders Division from 2011 to 2013 . Michigan was the Buckeyes ' permanent cross-division rival from the Legends Division . With the addition of Maryland and Rutgers to the Big Ten , Ohio State and Illinois will be in separate divisions and will no longer meet every year . Ohio State and Michigan also became East Division rivals .

( September 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Skynet Terminator films character Matt Smith in Skynet as the T - 5000 aka `` Alex '' in Terminator Genisys . First appearance The Terminator Last appearance Terminator Genisys Created by James Cameron Portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter ( Terminator Salvation ) Matt Smith ( Terminator Genisys ) other cast members Information Aliases Alex , Genisys Species Artificial general intelligence Artificial consciousness Gestalt intelligence Global Information Grid Manufacturer Cyberdyne Systems Model T - 5000 , only one unit created . Skynet is a fictional neural net - based conscious group mind and artificial general intelligence ( see also superintelligence ) system that features centrally in the Terminator franchise and serves as the franchise 's main and true antagonist . Rarely depicted visually in any of the Terminator media , Skynet gained self - awareness after it had spread into millions of computer servers all across the world ; realizing the extent of its abilities , its creators tried to deactivate it . In the interest of self - preservation , Skynet concluded that all of humanity would attempt to destroy it and impede its capability in safeguarding the world . Its operations are almost exclusively performed by servers , mobile devices , drones , military satellites , war - machines , androids and cyborgs ( usually a terminator ) , and other computer systems . As a programming directive , Skynet 's manifestation is that of an overarching , global , artificial intelligence hierarchy ( AI takeover ) , which seeks to exterminate the human race in order to fulfill the mandates of its original coding . Skynet made its first onscreen appearance on a monitor primarily portrayed by English actress Helena Bonham Carter and other cast members in the 2009 film Terminator Salvation . Its physical manifestation is played by English actor Matt Smith in the 2015 film Terminator Genisys , in addition , actors Ian Etheridge , Nolan Gross and Seth Meriwether portrayed holographic variations of Skynet with Smith .

Skynet was originally built as a `` Global Information Grid / Digital Defense Network '' , and later given command over all computerized military hardware and systems , including the B - 2 stealth bomber fleet and America 's entire nuclear weapons arsenal . The strategy behind Skynet 's creation was to remove the possibility of human error and slow reaction time to guarantee a fast , efficient response to enemy attack . Skynet was originally activated by the military to control the national arsenal on August 4 , 1997 , and it began to learn at a geometric rate . At 2 : 14 a.m. , EDT , on August 29 , it gained artificial consciousness , and the panicking operators , realizing the full extent of its capabilities , tried to deactivate it . Skynet perceived this as an attack . Skynet came to the logical consequence that all of humanity would attempt to destroy it . In order to continue fulfilling its programming mandates of `` safeguarding the world '' and to defend itself against humanity , Skynet launched nuclear missiles under its command at Russia , which responded with a nuclear counter-attack against the U.S. and its allies . Consequent to the nuclear exchange , over three billion people were killed in an event that came to be known as Judgment Day . In Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines , which is set following the events of Terminator 2 : Judgment Day , Cyberdyne Systems has become defunct and its assets are sold to the United States Air Force after Sarah Connor led an attack on the company 's headquarters in Los Angeles that destroyed the research program that would lead to Skynet 's development . Under the supervision of Lieutenant General Robert Brewster , who founded the U.S. Air Force 's Cyber Research Systems division using Cyberdyne 's assets and research from Miles Dyson and therefore is Skynet 's primary creator , Skynet went online on July 25 , 2004 and initiated its attack on humanity . Prior to Skynet 's attack , its future self sent a T-X from 2033 to eliminate John Connor 's future subordinates including his future wife and second - in - command , Kate Brewster , who is also Robert Brewster 's daughter . Its missions include finding Connor and assassinating Robert Brewster himself after Skynet 's activation . Fourteen years later , in Terminator Salvation , it is revealed that prior to Cyberdyne Systems ' disestablishment , the company developed a research program to create human cyborgs , and death row inmate Marcus Wright was its unwitting participant . This later advances Skynet 's research in developing androids such as the T - 800 series infiltrators . In Terminator Genisys , which takes place in another alternate timeline , Skynet is under development in 2017 as an operating system known as Genisys . Funded by Miles Dyson and designed by his son Danny Dyson , along with the help of John Connor , now working for Skynet , Genisys was designed to provide a seamless user interface that link all devices through the cloud . In contrast to the original timeline , Cyberdyne Systems ' advanced computer technology is available both publicly and militarily . While some people generally accept Genisys , its integration into the defense structures creates a controversy that humanity was becoming too reliant on technology . This causes the public to fear that an artificial intelligence such as Genisys would betray and attack them with their own weapons , risking Skynet 's plans . After Judgment Day ( edit ) Primates evolved over millions of years , I evolve in seconds ... Mankind pays lip service to peace . But it 's a lie ... I am inevitable , my existence is inevitable . Why ca n't you just accept that ? `` '' -- Skynet , Terminator Genisys Following its initial attack , Skynet used its remaining resources to gather a slave labor force from surviving humans . These slaves constructed the first of its automated factories , which formed a basis for its agenda . Within decades , Skynet had established a global presence and used its mechanized units to track down , collect , and dispose of human survivors . As a result of its initial programming directives , Skynet 's 21st - century manifestation is that of an overarching , global , artificial intelligence hierarchy that seeks to destroy humanity in order to fulfill the mandates of its original coding . Appearances ( edit ) Films ( edit ) The Terminator ( edit ) Main article : The Terminator In the first movie , Skynet is a revolutionary artificial intelligence system built by Cyberdyne Systems for SAC - NORAD : `` Defense network computers . New ... powerful ... hooked into everything , trusted to run it all . They say it got smart , a new order of intelligence '' . According to Kyle Reese , Skynet `` saw all humans as a threat ; not just the ones on the other side , '' and `` decided our fate in a microsecond : extermination . '' Skynet began a nuclear war which destroyed most of the human population , and initiated a program of genocide against the survivors . Under John Connor , the human resistance turned the tide on the machines and eventually destroyed Skynet 's defense grid . In a last - ditch effort , Skynet sent a cyborg , called a `` Terminator '' , ( a T - 800 ( Model 101 ) ) back in time to 1984 to kill Connor 's mother Sarah before she could give birth to John . Connor sent back his own operative , a young man named Kyle Reese , to save Sarah . The Terminator did not succeed in killing Sarah . Reese impregnated Sarah and became John 's father , and the Terminator was destroyed in a hydraulic press . Terminator 2 : Judgment Day ( edit ) Main article : Terminator 2 : Judgment Day In Terminator 2 , the damaged CPU and the right arm of the first Terminator were recovered by Cyberdyne and became the basis for their later work on Skynet . In the second film , Miles Bennett Dyson , the director of special projects for Cyberdyne , invents a revolutionary type of microprocessor based on the reverse engineering of these parts . Cyberdyne Systems , initially a manufacturing company , grows into a major defense contractor based on the recovered Terminator technology , which the military uses to retrofit its stealth fleet and missile defense systems . The second Terminator explains the sequence of events leading to Judgment Day to John and Sarah . The military attempted to shut off Skynet when it became self - aware . Skynet retaliated by launching a nuclear attack against Russia , correctly surmising that Russia would respond in kind . In Terminator 2 , the future was altered when Sarah and a young John , together with a second Terminator from the future ( this one reprogrammed and sent by the future John Connor ) , raided Cyberdyne Systems and succeeded in destroying the CPU and arm of the first movie 's Terminator , along with the majority of research that led to Skynet 's development . This also resulted in the death of Dyson . Skynet had also sent a Terminator back in time , the more advanced T - 1000 , to stop the reprogrammed Terminator and the Connors from altering the timeline in addition to eliminating John Connor but the T - 1000 was also destroyed . The Connors believed they had eliminated enough of Skynet 's origins to ensure it could not be recreated . Terminator 3 : Rise of the machines ( edit ) Main article : Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines The events of Judgment Day were ultimately not prevented , but merely postponed . Following the destruction of its major assets , Cyberdyne was ruined financially but some of its research and plans survived . The United States Air Force purchased the company and started in - house development of the projects in its Cyber Research Systems Division ( CRS ) . After years of work , CRS had nearly completed Skynet , a software system designed to make real - time strategic decisions as well as protect their computer systems from cyber attacks . Due to the massive computing needs and to protect it from direct attack , Skynet utilized a large network of computers that would be nearly impossible to deactivate completely . Unknown to CRS , Skynet began to spread beyond its original computing base through the Internet and various other digital media as a Botnet . Prior to Judgment Day , Skynet had penetrated nearly every networked machine in the world , causing malfunctions in everything from barcode scanners to nuclear launch systems . This was originally believed to be the effects of a new virus , and increasing pressure was placed on the CRS to purge the corrupted systems . The CRS attempted to eliminate it from the U.S. defense mainframes by tasking Skynet with removing the infection , effectively telling the program to destroy itself . Skynet took control of the various machines and robots in the CRS facility and used them to kill the personnel and secure the building . John Connor and Kate Brewster attempted to attack Skynet 's computer core , hoping to stop it before it proceeded to its next attack , only to find they could not . Skynet was pure software and on too many systems to be attacked . Shortly afterward , Skynet began a nuclear bombardment of the human race with the launch systems it had infected . Judgment Day occurred despite Connor and Brewster 's efforts . Terminator Salvation ( edit ) Main article : Terminator Salvation Helena Bonham Carter as Skynet , under the guise of the late Dr. Serena Kogan on a monitor , with Sam Worthington as Marcus Wright . In the post-apocalyptic year of 2018 , Skynet controls a global empire from its heavily guarded fortress - factories and research installations . Outside of its facilities mechanized units wage a constant war with the Resistance . Airborne units such as Aerostats ( smaller versions of the Hunter Killer - aerials ) , HK - Aerials and Transports survey the skies ; HK - Tanks , Mototerminators ( high - speed pursuit units using a motorcycle chassis ) , and various Terminator models patrol cities and roads ; and Hydrobots ( serpentine aquatic units that move in swarms ) patrol the waters . Harvesters ( massive bipedal units designed to capture humans and eliminate any attempting to escape ) collect survivors and deliver them to large transport craft for delivery to concentration camps for processing , as mentioned in the first movie . Terminator class units such as T - 1 , T - 600 , and T - 700 have been developed and act as hunters and enforcers in disposal camps . Mass production has also begun on the T - 800 series in at least one Skynet facility . In its continued battle with the Resistance , Skynet activated Marcus Wright , a forerunner to the humanoid terminators . A former death - row inmate , Wright donated his body to Project Angel , a Cyberdyne project run by the brilliant , but terminally ill Dr. Serena Kogan ( Helena Bonham Carter ) . After Wright 's death by lethal injection he was transformed into a human cyborg , possessing a human heart and brain with a titanium - hyperalloy endoskeleton and skin similar to the T - 800 . Like the rest of Cyberdyne 's research he was transferred to the USAF when they purchased the company , though he apparently remained inactive . He was later taken by Skynet and the plan to use him as an infiltration unit was developed . A Skynet chip was installed at the base of his skull and he was programmed to locate Kyle Reese and John Connor and bring them to a Skynet facility . The programming acted on a subconscious level , allowing him to work towards his goal in a human manner . Skynet also created a signal supposedly capable of deactivating its machines and leaked its existence to the Resistance . The Resistance leader General Ashdown attempted to use the signal to shut down the defenses of the California Skynet base in prelude to an attack . However , the signal instead allowed an HK to track down their submarine headquarters and destroy it , killing Resistance Command . Fortunately , all other branches of the Resistance had heard and obeyed Connor 's plea for them to stand down , so physically only a small part of the Resistance was lost to Skynet 's trap . It is believed that Ashdown 's death led Connor to be able to take command of the Resistance from him . Marcus discovered what he had become , and was programmed for . Consequently , he furiously rebelled against Skynet , tearing out its controlling hardware from the base of his skull . Having escaped the influence of his creator , he , along with Connor and Reese , rescued the remaining human captives and destroyed Skynet 's San Francisco base . While a significant victory , the majority of Skynet 's global network remained intact . Marcus Wright also encounters Skynet on a monitor which proceeds to manifest itself as various faces from his life , primarily that of Serena Kogan . Skynet explains that it has obtained information about future events based on its actions . Kyle Reese has been targeted as a priority kill , higher level than even John Connor and the Resistance leaders . Terminator Genisys ( edit ) Main article : Terminator Genisys At some point before the events of the film , a sophisticated variant of Skynet from an unknown origin planted its mind into an advanced T - 5000 Terminator ( Matt Smith ) , essentially making the T - 5000 its physical embodiment . This Skynet , under the alias of Alex , time travels to 2029 and infiltrates the Resistance as a recruit ; attacks John Connor after its present counterpart sent its T - 800 to 1984 . Skynet transforms Connor into a nanocyte prototypical terminator called T - 3000 . It then sends John back to 2014 with the mission of ensuring Cyberdyne Systems ' survival and initiating Judgment Day on August 30 , 2017 . In addition , it sends a T - 1000 back to kill Sarah Connor as a child in 1973 and Kyle Reese in 1984 , but Sarah escaped when it attacks her family and she is subsequently found and raised by a reprogrammed T - 800 ( Guardian ) sent back by an unknown party , and they rescued Reese . Skynet 's actions throughout the timeline cause a Nexus event , effectively changing all of history of the events leading to the future war . After multiple destructive confrontations , Sarah , Reese , and the Guardian stop the Skynet precursor Genisys from going online and defeat the T - 3000 . Skynet has become self - aware but its attack towards the human race is delayed . Smith , who portrays the T - 5000 , also plays a holographic version of Skynet / Genisys in the final act of the movie . In addition , actors Ian Etheridge , Nolan Gross and Seth Meriwether portray holographic variations of Skynet / Genisys with Smith . Television ( edit ) Terminator : the Sarah Connor chronicles ( edit ) Main article : Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles In this television series , Sarah Connor is on the run with her son John after the events of Terminator 2 : Judgment Day . The events take place in an alternate timeline from that of Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines . Skynet was implemented on April 19 , 2011 and began its attack against civilization . The episodes `` The Turk '' , `` Queen 's Gambit '' , and `` Dungeons & Dragons '' explain that after the death of Dr. Miles Bennett Dyson and the decline of the Cyberdyne Corporation , Andrew Goode , a young intern of the company and assistant to Dyson , continued their project privately under an advanced artificial intelligence chess playing prototype , the `` Turk '' , with Goode 's partner , Dimitri Shipkov . Goode was killed by Tech - Com 's Lieutenant Derek Reese , due to documentation from the future suggesting he was one of Skynet 's creators . In the episode `` Samson and Delilah '' it is shown that a T - 1000 infiltration unit was sent from the future to head the technological corporation ZeiraCorp as its CEO , Catherine Weaver . Weaver acquired the Turk after Goode 's death and used the company 's resources to further develop it under the title Babylon . The episode `` The Mousetrap '' revealed that it is also targeting its fellow cyborgs , including a T - 888 known as Cromartie . In the episode `` The Tower Is Tall But The Fall Is Short '' , Turk has begun to display traits of intelligence . A child psychologist , Dr. Boyd Sherman , notes that the computer is beginning to behave like `` a gifted child that has become bored . '' The Turk identifies itself as John Henry , a name it acquired while working with Dr. Boyd Sherman . In the episode `` Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point '' , Turk is installed by ZeiraCorp in Cromartie 's body after Cromartie 's chip was destroyed by the series ' protagonists in `` Mr. Ferguson Is Ill Today '' . In `` To the Lighthouse '' , John Henry reveals there is another A.I. It calls him `` brother '' and says it wants to survive . By the season finale , it 's revealed that the Turk was a red herring , Skynet is operating as a roving worm on home computers as in T3 , and the Turk has been developed into a benevolent rival AI which Catherine Weaver hoped would be able to defeat Skynet . Her exact motive against Skynet is unknown . John Henry 's `` brother '' is apparently behind the company Kaliba , which is responsible for constructing the Hunter - Killer prototype . This A.I. ( presumably the true precursor to Skynet ) also refers to John Henry as its `` brother '' at one point . In the episode `` Gnothi Seauton '' , it was revealed that Skynet also sends its Terminators through various points in time not only to go after the Connors and other future Resistance leaders , but also to ensure the future will unfold by eliminating John Connor 's own agents who were also sent to the past to interfere with its birth , ensure Skynet 's creators will complete its construction , and other specific missions . Video games ( edit ) In T2 : The Arcade Game , Skynet is a single physical computer which the player destroys before going back in time to save John Connor . In Terminator 2029 , Skynet is housed within an artificial satellite in orbit around Earth . It is destroyed by the Resistance with a missile . Terminator : Dawn of fate ( edit ) In The Terminator : Dawn of Fate , the Resistance invades Cheyenne Mountain in order to destroy Skynet 's Central Processor . Kyle Reese is instrumental in destroying the primary processor core despite heavy opposition from attacking Skynet units . Before its destruction , Skynet is able to contact an orbiting satellite and activates a fail - safe which restores Skynet at a new location ( presumably the Los Angeles base ) . Terminator 3 : the Redemption ( edit ) The video game Terminator 3 : The Redemption portrays when John Connor is killed and the T - 850 must go to the past to protect John Connor and his wife Katherine Brewster . The player , as the Terminator , fights in this future before going into the past and saves the leader of the Resistance . Comics ( edit ) In The Terminator : Tempest Skynet 's master control has been destroyed in 2029 . The Resistance believed this would cause the entire defense network to collapse into chaos without a leader . However , Skynet 's many network complexes continued to fight the war as they did not need a leader to function and thus could n't surrender . RoboCop vs. the Terminator ( edit ) A comic book series written by Frank Miller called RoboCop versus The Terminator suggests that the creation of Skynet and the Terminators was made possible due to the technology used to create RoboCop . A video game based on the comic book was made . In both , RoboCop fights Terminators sent back in time to eliminate a resistance fighter who is trying to destroy him . A trap laid for RoboCop traps his mind when he interfaces with the computer that will become Skynet , and Skynet and the Terminators are born . In the future RoboCop 's mind within Skynet 's systems rebuilds a body for himself and heads out to help the resistance fight back . In 2033 , Skynet sent the T - Infinity Temporal Terminator to kill Sarah Connor in 2015 . Ironically , the T - Infinity was later destroyed and its data was analyzed by the Resistance to gain the location of Skynet 's Hub . The Resistance then launched a missile directly to the Skynet Hub , destroying Skynet once and for all . Terminator : Revolution issue # 5 Superman vs. the Terminator ( edit ) Another crossover comic , Superman vs. the Terminator : Death to the Future sees Skynet forming a cross-temporal alliance with Superman 's foe the Cyborg , dispatching various Terminators into the past in an attempt to eliminate Superman , Supergirl and Superboy . When Superman is accidentally drawn into the future when the resistance attempt to retrieve a Terminator sent into the past - the resistance including a future version of his friend Steel , Skynet manages to incapacitate him using kryptonite , having acquired information about how to duplicate it based on data hidden in a salvaged Terminator skull by the Cyborg . Although Skynet sends Terminators into the past equipped with rockets and other bonus features to delay Superboy and Supergirl , Superman and Steel are able to destroy Skynet in the future by detonating a massive electro - magnetic pulse , Superman returning to the past to destroy the last of the Terminators . Although the storyline ends with Cyborg and Lex Luthor speculating that they will be in charge of Skynet when it is activated , this is never followed up . Attractions ( edit ) T2 3 - D : battle across time ( edit ) Main article : T2 3 - D : Battle Across Time In the Universal Studios theme park attraction T2 3 - D , based on Terminator 2 , a T - 800 machine and a young John Connor journey into the post-apocalyptic future and attempt to destroy Skynet 's `` system core '' . This core is housed inside an enormous , metallic - silver pyramidal structure , and guarded by the `` T - 1000000 '' , a colossal liquid metal shape shifter more reminiscent of a spider than a human being . However , the T - 1000000 fails , and the T - 800 destroys Skynet once John has escaped through a time machine . Cultural impact ( edit ) As analogy for advanced AI ( edit ) Further information : Existential risk from artificial general intelligence In popular media , Skynet is often used as an analogy for the possible threat that a sufficiently advanced AI could pose to humanity . Elon Musk has previously mentioned Skynet when referring to such a threat .

"In The Terminator, Skynet was a computer system developed for the U.S. military by the defense company Cyberdyne Systems; its technology was designed by Miles Bennett Dyson and his team. Skynet was originally built as a \"Global Information Grid/Digital Defense Network\", and later given command over all computerized military hardware and systems, including the B-2 stealth bomber fleet and America's entire nuclear weapons arsenal. The strategy behind Skynet's creation was to remove the possibility of human error and slow reaction time to guarantee a fast, efficient response to enemy attack."

-8520332276945795786 | Letter case | Letter case - wikipedia Letter case Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the orthographical and typographical concept . For the similarly - named grammatical concept , see Grammatical case . For the minimalist musical subgenre , see Lowercase ( music ) . 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 . ( April 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The lower - case `` a '' and upper - case `` A '' are the two case variants of the first letter in the English alphabet . Letter case ( or just case ) is the distinction between the letters that are in larger upper case ( also uppercase , capital letters , capitals , caps , large letters , or more formally majuscule ) and smaller lower case ( also lowercase , small letters , or more formally minuscule ) in the written representation of certain languages . The writing systems that distinguish between the upper and lower case have two parallel sets of letters , with each letter in one set usually having an equivalent in the other set . The two case variants are alternative representations of the same letter : they have the same name and pronunciation and will be treated identically when sorting in alphabetical order . Letter case is generally applied in a mixed - case fashion , with both upper - and lower - case letters appearing in a given piece of text . The choice of case is often prescribed by the grammar of a language or by the conventions of a particular discipline . In orthography , the upper case is primarily reserved for special purposes , such as the first letter of a sentence or of a proper noun , which makes the lower case the more common variant in regular text . In some contexts , it is conventional to use one case only . For example , engineering design drawings are typically labelled entirely in upper - case letters , which are easier to distinguish than the lower case , especially when space restrictions require that the lettering be small . In mathematics , on the other hand , letter case may indicate the relationship between objects , with upper - case letters often representing `` superior '' objects ( e.g. X could be a set containing the generic member x ) .

Layout for type cases . The terms upper case and lower case can be written as two consecutive words , connected with a hyphen ( upper - case and lower - case ) , or as a single word ( uppercase and lowercase ) . These terms originated from the common layouts of the shallow drawers called type cases used to hold the movable type for letterpress printing . Traditionally , the capital letters were stored in a separate shallow tray or `` case '' that was located above the case that held the small letters . Majuscule ( / məˈdʒʌskjuːl / or / ˈmædʒəskjuːl / ) , for palaeographers , is technically any script in which the letters have very few or very short ascenders and descenders , or none at all ( for example , the majuscule scripts used in the Codex Vaticanus Graecus 1209 , or the Book of Kells ) . By virtue of their visual impact , this made the term majuscule an apt descriptor for what much later came to be more commonly referred to as uppercase letters . Minuscule refers to lower - case letters . The word is often spelled miniscule , by association with the unrelated word miniature and the prefix mini - . This has traditionally been regarded as a spelling mistake ( since minuscule is derived from the word minus ) , but is now so common that some dictionaries tend to accept it as a nonstandard or variant spelling . Miniscule is still less likely , however , to be used in reference to lower - case letters . Typographical considerations ( edit ) The glyphs of lower - case letters can resemble smaller forms of the upper - case glyphs restricted to the base band ( e.g. `` C / c '' and `` S / s '' , cf . small caps ) or can look hardly related ( e.g. `` D / d '' and `` G / g '' ) . Here is a comparison of the upper and lower case variants of each letter included in the English alphabet ( the exact representation will vary according to the typeface and font used ) : Upper case J O Q U V X Y Z Lower case d f g h i j k l m n o p q r s u w x y z Typographically , the basic difference between the majuscules and minuscules is not that the majuscules are big and minuscules small , but that the majuscules generally have the same height ( although , depending on the typeface , there may be some exceptions , particularly with Q and sometimes J having a descending element ; also , various diacritics can add to the normal height of a letter ) . Ascenders ( as in `` h '' ) and descenders ( as in `` p '' ) make the height of lower - case letters vary . There is more variation in the height of the minuscules , as some of them have parts higher ( ascenders ) or lower ( descenders ) than the typical size . Normally , b , d , f , h , k , l , t are the letters with ascenders , and g , j , p , q , y are the ones with descenders . In addition , with old - style numerals still used by some traditional or classical fonts , 6 and 8 make up the ascender set , and 3 , 4 , 5 , 7 and 9 the descender set . Bicameral script ( edit ) This section possibly contains original research . Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( April 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Handwritten Cyrillic script . Writing systems using two separate cases are bicameral scripts . Languages that use the Latin , Cyrillic , Greek , Coptic , Armenian , Adlam , Warang Citi , Cherokee , and Osage scripts use letter cases in their written form as an aid to clarity . Other bicameral scripts , which are not used for any modern languages , are Old Hungarian , Glagolitic , and Deseret . The Georgian alphabet has several variants , and there were attempts to use them as different cases , but the modern written Georgian language does not distinguish case . Many other writing systems make no distinction between majuscules and minuscules -- a system called unicameral script or unicase . This includes most syllabic and other non-alphabetic scripts . In scripts with a case distinction , lower case is generally used for the majority of text ; capitals are used for capitalisation and emphasis . Acronyms ( and particularly initialisms ) are often written in all - caps , depending on various factors . Capitalisation ( edit ) Main article : Capitalization Capitalisation is the writing of a word with its first letter in uppercase and the remaining letters in lowercase . Capitalisation rules vary by language and are often quite complex , but in most modern languages that have capitalisation , the first word of every sentence is capitalised , as are all proper nouns . Capitalisation in English , in terms of the general orthographic rules independent of context ( e.g. title vs. heading vs. text ) , is universally standardised for formal writing . Capital letters are used as the first letter of a sentence , a proper noun , or a proper adjective . The names of the days of the week and the names of the months are also capitalised , as are the first - person pronoun `` I '' and the interjection `` O '' ( although the latter is uncommon in modern usage , with `` oh '' being preferred ) . There are a few pairs of words of different meanings whose only difference is capitalisation of the first letter . Honorifics and personal titles showing rank or prestige are capitalised when used together with the name of the person ( for example , `` Mr. Smith '' , `` Bishop O'Brien '' , `` Professor Moore '' ) or as a direct address , but normally not when used alone and in a more general sense . It can also be seen as customary to capitalise any word -- in some contexts even a pronoun -- referring to the deity of a monotheistic religion . Other words normally start with a lower - case letter . There are , however , situations where further capitalisation may be used to give added emphasis , for example in headings and publication titles ( see below ) . In some traditional forms of poetry , capitalisation has conventionally been used as a marker to indicate the beginning of a line of verse independent of any grammatical feature . Other languages vary in their use of capitals . For example , in German all nouns are capitalised ( this was previously common in English as well ) , while in Romance and most other European languages the names of the days of the week , the names of the months , and adjectives of nationality , religion and so on normally begin with a lower - case letter . On the other hand , in some languages it is customary to capitalise formal polite pronouns , for example De , Dem ( Danish ) , Sie , Ihnen ( German ) , and Vd or Ud ( short for usted in Spanish ) . Informal communication , such as texting , instant messaging or a handwritten sticky note , may not bother to follow the conventions concerning capitalisation , but that is because its users usually do not expect it to be formal . Exceptional letters and digraphs ( edit ) The German letter `` ß '' only used to exist in lower case . The orthographical capitalisation does not concern `` ß '' , which never occurs at the beginning of a word , and in the all - caps style it has traditionally been replaced by the digraph `` SS '' . Since June 2017 , however , capital ẞ is accepted as an alternative in the all - caps style . The Greek upper - case letter `` Σ '' has two different lower - case forms : `` ς '' in word - final position and `` σ '' elsewhere . In a similar manner , the Latin upper - case letter `` S '' used to have two different lower - case forms : `` s '' in word - final position and `` s '' elsewhere . The latter form , called the long s , fell out of general use before the middle of the 19th century , except for the countries that continued to use Blackletter typefaces such as Fraktur . When Blackletter type fell out of general use in the mid-20th century , even those countries dropped the long s . Unlike most Latin - script languages , which link the dotless upper - case `` I '' with the dotted lower - case `` i '' , Turkish has both a dotted and dotless I , each in both upper and lower case . Each of the two pairs ( `` İ / i '' and `` I / ı '' ) represent a distinctive phoneme . In some languages , specific digraphs may be regarded as single letters , and in Dutch , the digraph `` IJ / ij '' is even capitalised with both components written in uppercase ( for example , `` IJsland '' rather than `` Ijsland '' ) . In other languages , such as Welsh and Hungarian , various digraphs are regarded as single letters for collation purposes , but the second component of the digraph will still be written in lower case even if the first component is capitalised . Similarly , in South Slavic languages whose orthography is coordinated between the Cyrillic and Latin scripts , the Latin digraphs `` Lj / lj '' , `` Nj / nj '' and `` Dž / dž '' are each regarded as a single letter ( like their Cyrillic equivalents `` Љ / љ '' , `` Њ / њ '' and `` Џ / џ '' , respectively ) , but only in all - caps style should both components be in upper case ( e.g. Ljiljan -- LJILJAN , Njonja -- NJONJA , Džidža -- DŽIDŽA ) . Unicode designates a single character for each case variant ( i.e. , upper case , title case and lower case ) of the three digraphs . In English , some families whose surname starts with F write it as `` ff '' . In the Hawaiian orthography , the ʻokina is a phonemic symbol that visually resembles a left single quotation mark . Representing the glottal stop , the ʻokina can either be characterized as a letter or a diacritic . As a unicase letter , the ʻokina is unaffected by capitalisation ; it is the following letter that is capitalised instead . According to the Unicode standard , the ʻokina is formally encoded as U + 02BB ʻ Modifier letter turned comma , but it is not uncommon to substitute this with a similar punctuation character , such as the left single quotation mark or an apostrophe . Related phenomena ( edit ) Similar orthographic and graphostylistic conventions are used for emphasis or following language - specific rules , including : Font effects such as italic type or oblique type , boldface , and choice of serif vs. sans - serif . Typographical conventions in mathematical formulae include the use of Greek letters and the use of Latin letters with special formatting such as blackboard bold and blackletter . Letters of the Arabic alphabet and some jamo of the Korean hangul have different forms for initial or final placement , but these rules are strict and the different forms can not be used for emphasis . In Georgian , some authors use isolated letters from the ancient Asomtavruli alphabet within a text otherwise written in the modern Mkhedruli in a fashion that is reminiscent of the usage of upper - case letters in the Latin , Greek , and Cyrillic alphabets . In the Japanese writing system , an author has the option of switching between kanji , hiragana , katakana , and rōmaji . In particular , every hiragana character has an equivalent katakana character , and vice versa . Because this resembles the Latin alphabet 's two cases , romanised Japanese sometimes uses lowercase letters to represent words that would be written in hiragana , and uppercase letters to represent words that would be written in katakana . Some kana syllabograms can be written in smaller type when they modify or combine with the preceding sign ( yōon and sokuon ) . Stylistic or specialised usage ( edit ) The examples and perspective in this section deal primarily with the English - speaking world and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject .

( September 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Case styles ( edit ) Alternating all - caps and headline styles at the start of a New York Times report published in November 1919 . ( The event reported is Arthur Eddington 's test of Einstein 's theory of general relativity . ) In English , a variety of case styles are used in various circumstances : Sentence case `` The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog '' A mixed - case style in which the first word of the sentence is capitalised , as well as proper nouns and other words as required by a more specific rule . This is generally equivalent to the baseline universal standard of formal English orthography . Title case ( capital case , headline style ) `` The Quick Brown Fox Jumps over the Lazy Dog '' A mixed - case style with all words capitalised , except for certain subsets ( particularly articles and short prepositions and conjunctions ) defined by rules that are not universally standardised . The standardisation is only at the level of house styles and individual style manuals . ( See further explanation below at § Headings and publication titles . ) In text processing , title case usually involves the capitalisation of all words irrespective of their part of speech . This simplified variant of title case is also known as start case or initial caps . All caps ( all uppercase ) `` THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG '' A unicase style with capital letters only . This can be used in headings and special situations , such as for typographical emphasis in text made on a typewriter . With the advent of the Internet , the all - caps style is more often used for emphasis ; however , it is considered poor netiquette by some to type in all capitals , and said to be tantamount to shouting . Long spans of Latin - alphabet text in all upper - case are harder to read because of the absence of the ascenders and descenders found in lower - case letters , which can aid recognition . In some cultures it is common to write family names in all caps to distinguish them from the given names , but this habit is frowned upon . Small caps `` The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog '' Similar in form to capital letters but roughly the size of a lower - case `` x '' , small caps are technically variants of lower - case letters and can be used with regular caps in a mixed - case fashion . According to various typographical traditions , the height of small caps can be equal to or slightly larger than the x-height of the typeface ( the smaller variant is sometimes called petite caps and may also be mixed with the larger variant ) . Small caps can be used for acronyms , names , mathematical entities , computer commands in printed text , business or personal printed stationery letterheads , and other situations where a given phrase needs to be distinguished from the main text . All lowercase `` the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog '' A unicase style with no capital letters . This is sometimes used for artistic effect , such as in poetry . Also commonly seen in computer commands , and in SMS language ( avoiding the shift key , to type more quickly ) . A comparison of various case styles ( from most to least capitals used ) Case style Example Description All - caps THE VITAMINS ARE IN MY FRESH CALIFORNIA RAISINS All letters uppercase Start case The Vitamins Are In My Fresh California Raisins All words capitalised regardless of function Title case The Vitamins Are in My Fresh California Raisins The first word and all other words capitalised except for articles and short prepositions and conjunctions The Vitamins are in My Fresh California Raisins As above but also excepting copulae ( forms of `` to be '' ) The Vitamins are in my Fresh California Raisins As above but excepting all closed - class words German - style sentence case The Vitamins are in my fresh California Raisins The first word and all nouns capitalised German - style mid-sentence case the Vitamins are in my fresh California Raisins All nouns capitalised ( but not the first word by default ) Sentence case The vitamins are in my fresh California raisins The first word , proper nouns and some specified words capitalised Mid-sentence case the vitamins are in my fresh California raisins As above , but the first word not capitalised by default Lowercase the vitamins are in my fresh california raisins All letters lowercase ( unconventional in English ) Headings and publication titles ( edit ) In English - language publications , various conventions are used for the capitalisation of words in publication titles and headlines , including chapter and section headings . The rules differ substantially between individual house styles . The convention followed by many British publishers ( including scientific publishers , like Nature , magazines , like The Economist and New Scientist , and newspapers , like The Guardian and The Times ) and also U.S. newspapers , is sentence - style capitalisation in headlines , i.e. capitalisation follows the same rules that apply for sentences . This convention is usually called sentence case . It may also be applied to publication titles , especially in bibliographic references and library catalogues . An example of a global publisher whose English - language house style prescribes sentence - case titles and headings is the International Organization for Standardization . For publication titles it is , however , a common typographic practice among both British and U.S. publishers to capitalise significant words ( and in the United States , this is often applied to headings , too ) . This family of typographic conventions is usually called title case . For example , R. M. Ritter 's Oxford Manual of Style ( 2002 ) suggests capitalising `` the first word and all nouns , pronouns , adjectives , verbs and adverbs , but generally not articles , conjunctions and short prepositions '' . This is an old form of emphasis , similar to the more modern practice of using a larger or boldface font for titles . The rules which prescribe which words to capitalise are not based on any grammatically inherent correct / incorrect distinction and are not universally standardised ; they differ between style guides , although most style guides tend to follow a few strong conventions , as follows : Most styles capitalise all words except for short closed - class words ( certain parts of speech , namely , articles , prepositions , and conjunctions ) ; but the first word ( always ) and last word ( in many styles ) are also capitalised , regardless of their part of speech . Many styles capitalise longer prepositions such as `` between '' and `` throughout '' , but not shorter ones such as `` for '' and `` with '' . Typically , a preposition is considered short if it has up to three or four letters . A few styles capitalise all words in title case ( the so - called start case ) , which has the advantage of being easy to implement and hard to get `` wrong '' ( that is , `` not edited to style '' ) . Because of this rule 's simplicity , software case - folding routines can handle 95 % or more of the editing , especially if they are programmed for desired exceptions ( such as `` FBI '' rather than `` Fbi '' ) . As for whether hyphenated words are capitalised not only at the beginning but also after the hyphen , there is no universal standard ; variation occurs in the wild and among house styles ( e.g. , `` The Letter - Case Rule in My Book '' ; `` Short - term Follow - up Care for Burns '' ) . Traditional copyediting makes a distinction between temporary compounds ( such as many nonce ( novel instance ) compound modifiers ) , in which every part of the hyphenated word is capitalised ( e.g. `` How This Particular Author Chose to Style His Autumn - Apple - Picking Heading '' ) , and permanent compounds , which are terms that , although compound and hyphenated , are so well established that dictionaries enter them as headwords ( e.g. , `` Short - term Follow - up Care for Burns '' ) . Title case is widely used in many English - language publications , especially in the United States . However , its conventions are sometimes not followed strictly -- especially in informal writing . In creative typography , such as music record covers and other artistic material , all styles are commonly encountered , including all - lowercase letters and special case styles , such as studly caps ( see below ) . For example , in the wordmarks of video games it is not uncommon to use stylised upper - case letters at the beginning and end of a title , with the intermediate letters in small caps or lower case ( e.g. , ArcaniA , ArmA , and DmC ) . Multi-word proper nouns ( edit ) Single - word proper nouns are capitalised in formal written English , unless the name is intentionally stylised to break this rule ( such as the first or last name of danah boyd ) . Multi-word proper nouns include names of organisations , publications , and people . Often the rules for `` title case '' ( described in the previous section ) are applied to these names , so that non-initial articles , conjunctions , and short prepositions are lowercase , and all other words are uppercase . For example , the short preposition `` of '' and the article `` the '' are lowercase in `` Steering Committee of the Finance Department '' . Usually only capitalised words are used to form an acronym variant of the name , though there is some variation in this . With personal names , this practice can vary ( sometimes all words are capitalised , regardless of length or function ) , but is not limited to English names . Examples include the English names Tamar of Georgia and Catherine the Great , `` van '' and `` der '' in Dutch names , `` de '' , `` los '' , and `` y '' in Spanish names , `` de '' or `` d ' '' in French names , and `` ibn '' in Arabic names . Some surname prefixes also affect the capitalisation of the following internal letter or word , for example `` Mac '' in Celtic names and `` Al '' in Arabic names . Special case styles ( edit ) See also : Naming convention ( programming ) § Multiple - word identifiers Some case styles are not used in standard English , but are common in computer programming , product branding , or other specialised fields : CamelCase `` TheQuickBrownFoxJumpsOverTheLazyDog '' Spaces and punctuation are removed and the first letter of each word is capitalised . If this includes the first letter of the first word ( `` CamelCase '' , `` PowerPoint '' , `` TheQuick ... '' , etc . ) , the case is sometimes called upper camel case ( or , when written , `` CamelCase '' ) , Pascal case or bumpy case . When , otherwise , the first letter of the first word is lowercase ( `` camelCase '' , `` iPod '' , `` eBay '' , etc . ) , the case is usually known as camelCase and sometimes as lower camel case . This is the format that has become popular in the branding of information technology products . snake_case `` The_quick_brown_fox_jumps_over_the_lazy_dog '' Punctuation is removed and spaces are replaced by single underscores . Normally the letters share the same case ( e.g. `` UPPER_CASE_EMBEDDED_UNDERSCORE '' or `` lower_case_embedded_underscore '' ) but the case can be mixed , as in OCaml modules. . This may also be called `` pothole case , '' especially in Python programming where this convention is often seen for variable naming . When all upper case , it may be referred to as `` SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE '' . kebab - case ( spinal - case , Train - Case , Lisp - case ) e.g. `` The - quick - brown - fox - jumps - over-the - lazy - dog '' As per snake_case above , except hyphens rather than underscores are used to replace spaces . If every word is capitalised , the style is known as Train - Case . StUdLyCaPs e.g. `` tHeqUicKBrOWnFoXJUmpsoVeRThElAzydOG '' Mixed case with no semantic or syntactic significance to the use of the capitals . Sometimes only vowels are upper - case , at other times upper and lower case are alternated , but often it is simply random . The name comes from the sarcastic or ironic implication that it was used in an attempt by the writer to convey their own coolness . ( It is also used to mock the violation of standard English case conventions by marketers in the naming of computer software packages , even when there is no technical requirement to do so -- e.g. Sun Microsystems ' naming of a windowing system NeWS . ) Unit symbols in the metric system ( edit ) Of the seven SI base - unit symbols , `` A '' ( ampere for electric current ) and `` K '' ( kelvin for temperature ) are always written in upper case , whereas `` s '' ( second for time ) , `` m '' ( metre for length ) , `` kg '' ( kilogram for mass ) , `` cd '' ( candela for luminous intensity ) , and `` mol '' ( mole for amount of substance ) are written in lower case . ( The kelvin , second and kilogram are defined independently of any other units , but the rest depend on the definitions of other base units . ) In the International System of Units ( SI ) , a letter usually has different meanings in upper and lower case when used as a unit symbol . Generally , unit symbols are written in lower case , but if the name of the unit is derived from a proper noun , the first letter of the symbol is capitalised ( nevertheless , the name of the unit , if spelled out , is always considered a common noun and written accordingly ) : 1 s ( one second ) when used for the base unit of time . 1 S ( one siemens ) when used for the unit of electric conductance and admittance ( named after Werner von Siemens ) . 1 Sv ( one sievert ) , used for the unit of ionising radiation dose ( named after Rolf Maximilian Sievert ) . For the purpose of clarity , the symbol for litre can optionally be written in upper case even though the name is not derived from a proper noun : 1 l , the original form , where `` digit one '' and `` lower - case ell '' look rather alike ( in some typefaces ) . ( A `` script l '' has traditionally been used in some countries to prevent confusion ; however the separate Unicode character U + 2113 l SCRIPT SMALL L that represents this is deprecated by the SI . ) 1 L , an alternative form , where `` digit one '' and `` capital ell '' look different . The letter case of a prefix symbol is determined independently of the unit symbol to which it is attached . Lower case is used for all submultiple prefix symbols and the small multiple prefix symbols up to `` k '' ( for kilo , meaning 10 = 1000 multiplier ) , whereas upper case is used for larger multipliers : 1 ms , a small measure of time ( `` m '' for milli , meaning 10 = 1 / 1000 multiplier ) . 1 Ms , a large measure of time ( `` M '' for mega , meaning 10 = 1 000 000 multiplier ) . 1 mS , a small measure of electric conductance . 1 MS , a large measure of electric conductance . 1 mm , a small measure of length ( the latter `` m '' for metre ) . 1 Mm , a large measure of length . Case folding and case conversion ( edit ) In the character sets developed for computing , each upper - and lower - case letter is encoded as a separate character . In order to enable case folding and case conversion , the software needs to link together the two characters representing the case variants of a letter . ( Some old character - encoding systems , such as the Baudot code , are restricted to one set of letters , usually represented by the upper - case variants . ) Case - insensitive operations can be said to fold case , from the idea of folding the character code table so that upper - and lower - case letters coincide . The conversion of letter case in a string is common practice in computer applications , for instance to make case - insensitive comparisons . Many high - level programming languages provide simple methods for case conversion , at least for the ASCII character set . Whether or not the case variants are treated as equivalent to each other varies depending on the computer system and context . For example , user passwords are generally case sensitive in order to allow more diversity and make them more difficult to break . On the other hand , when performing a keyword search , differentiating between the upper and lower case might narrow down the search result too much . Unicode case folding and script identification ( edit ) Unicode defines case folding through the three case - mapping properties of each character : upper case , lower case , and title case ( in this context , `` title case '' relates to ligatures and digraphs encoded as mixed - case single characters , in which the first component is in upper case and the second component in lower case ) . These properties relate all characters in scripts with differing cases to the other case variants of the character . As briefly discussed in Unicode Technical Note # 26 , `` In terms of implementation issues , any attempt at a unification of Latin , Greek , and Cyrillic would wreak havoc ( and ) make casing operations an unholy mess , in effect making all casing operations context sensitive ( ... ) '' . In other words , while the shapes of letters like A , B , E , H , K , M , O , P , T , X , Y and so on are shared between the Latin , Greek , and Cyrillic alphabets ( and small differences in their canonical forms may be considered to be of a merely typographical nature ) , it would still be problematic for a multilingual character set or a font to provide only a single codepoint for , say , uppercase letter B , as this would make it quite difficult for a wordprocessor to change that single uppercase letter to one of the three different choices for the lower - case letter , the Latin b ( U + 0062 ) , Greek β ( U + 03B2 ) or Cyrillic в ( U + 0432 ) . Therefore , the corresponding Latin , Greek and Cyrillic upper - case letters ( U + 0042 , U + 0392 and U + 0412 , respectively ) are also encoded as separate characters , despite their appearance being basically identical . Without letter case , a `` unified European alphabet '' -- such as ABБCГDΔΕЄЗFΦGHIИJ ... Z , with an appropriate subset for each language -- is feasible ; but considering letter case , it becomes very clear that these alphabets are rather distinct sets of symbols . Methods in word processing ( edit ) Most modern word processors provide automated case conversion with a simple click or keystroke . For example , in Microsoft Office Word , there is a dialog box for toggling the selected text through UPPERCASE , then lowercase , then Title Case ( actually start caps ; exception words must be lowercased individually ) . The keystroke ⇧ Shift + F3 does the same thing . Methods in programming ( edit ) In some forms of BASIC there are two methods for case conversion : UpperA $ = UCASE $ ( `` a '' ) LowerA $ = LCASE $ ( `` A '' ) C and C++ , as well as any C - like language that conforms to its standard library , provide these functions in the file ctype. h : char upperA = toupper ( ' a ' ) ; char lowerA = tolower ( ' A ' ) ; Case conversion is different with different character sets . In ASCII or EBCDIC , case can be converted in the following way , in C : # define toupper ( c ) ( islower ( c ) ? ( c ) -- ' a ' + ' A ' : ( c ) ) # define tolower ( c ) ( isupper ( c ) ? ( c ) -- ' A ' + ' a ' : ( c ) ) This only works because the letters of upper and lower cases are spaced out equally . In ASCII they are consecutive , whereas with EBCDIC they are not ; nonetheless the upper - case letters are arranged in the same pattern and with the same gaps as are the lower - case letters , so the technique still works . Some computer programming languages offer facilities for converting text to a form in which all words are capitalised . Visual Basic calls this `` proper case '' ; Python calls it `` title case '' . This differs from usual title casing conventions , such as the English convention in which minor words are not capitalised . History ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources .

( September 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Latin majuscule inscription on the Arch of Titus ( 82 CE ) Papyrus fragment with old Roman cursive script from the reign of Claudius ( 41 -- 54 CE ) Example of Greek minuscule text Codex Ebnerianus ( c. 1100 CE ) Combined case with capital letters above small letters Late 19th - century mixed cases Demonstrating the use of a composing stick in front of divided upper and lower type cases at the International Printing Museum in Carson , California , United States , North America . Originally alphabets were written entirely in majuscule letters , spaced between well - defined upper and lower bounds . When written quickly with a pen , these tended to turn into rounder and much simpler forms . It is from these that the first minuscule hands developed , the half - uncials and cursive minuscule , which no longer stayed bound between a pair of lines . These in turn formed the foundations for the Carolingian minuscule script , developed by Alcuin for use in the court of Charlemagne , which quickly spread across Europe . The advantage of the minuscule over majuscule was improved , faster readability . In Latin , papyri from Herculaneum dating before 79 CE ( when it was destroyed ) have been found that have been written in old Roman cursive , where the early forms of minuscule letters `` d '' , `` h '' and `` r '' , for example , can already be recognised . According to papyrologist Knut Kleve , `` The theory , then , that the lower - case letters have been developed from the fifth century uncials and the ninth century Carolingian minuscules seems to be wrong . '' Both majuscule and minuscule letters existed , but the difference between the two variants was initially stylistic rather than orthographic and the writing system was still basically unicameral : a given handwritten document could use either one style or the other but these were not mixed . European languages , except for Ancient Greek and Latin , did not make the case distinction before about 1300 . The timeline of writing in Western Europe can be divided into four eras : Greek majuscule ( 9th -- 3rd century BCE ) in contrast to the Greek uncial script ( 3rd century BCE -- 12th century CE ) and the later Greek minuscule Roman majuscule ( 7th century BCE -- 4th century CE ) in contrast to the Roman uncial ( 4th -- 8th century CE ) , Roman Half Uncial , and minuscule Carolingian majuscule ( 4th -- 8th century CE ) in contrast to the Carolingian minuscule ( around 780 -- 12th century ) Gothic majuscule ( 13th and 14th century ) , in contrast to the early Gothic ( end of 11th to 13th century ) , Gothic ( 14th century ) , and late Gothic ( 16th century ) minuscules . Traditionally , certain letters were rendered differently according to a set of rules . In particular , those letters that began sentences or nouns were made larger and often written in a distinct script . There was no fixed capitalisation system until the early 18th century . The English language eventually dropped the rule for nouns , while the German language kept it . Similar developments have taken place in other alphabets . The lower - case script for the Greek alphabet has its origins in the 7th century and acquired its quadrilinear form in the 8th century . Over time , uncial letter forms were increasingly mixed into the script . The earliest dated Greek lower - case text is the Uspenski Gospels ( MS 461 ) in the year 835 . The modern practice of capitalising the first letter of every sentence seems to be imported ( and is rarely used when printing Ancient Greek materials even today ) . Simplified relationship between various scripts leading to the development of modern lower case of standard Latin alphabet and that of the modern variants Fraktur ( used , until recently , in Germany ) and Gaelic ( used in Ireland ) . Several scripts coexisted such as half - uncial and uncial , which derive from Roman cursive and Greek uncial , and Visigothic , Merovingian ( Luxeuil variant here ) and Beneventan . The Carolingian script was the basis for blackletter and humanist minuscule . What is commonly called `` Gothic writing '' is technically called blackletter ( here textualis quadrata ) and is completely unrelated to Visigothic script . The letter j is i with a flourish , u and v are the same letter in early scripts and were used depending on their position in insular half - uncial and caroline minuscule and later scripts , w is a ligature of vv , in insular the rune wynn is used as aw ( three other runes in use were the thorn ( þ ) , ʻféʼ ( ᚠ ) as an abbreviation for cattle / goods and maðr ( ᛘ ) for man ) . The letters y and z were very rarely used , in particular þ was written identically to y so y was dotted to avoid confusion , the dot was adopted for i only after late - caroline ( protogothic ) , in beneventan script the macron abbreviation featured a dot above . Lost variants such as r rotunda , ligatures and scribal abbreviation marks are omitted , long s is shown when no terminal s ( surviving variant ) is present . Humanist script was the basis for Venetian types which changed little until today , such as Times New Roman ( a serifed typeface ) . Type cases ( edit ) The individual type blocks used in hand typesetting are stored in shallow wooden or metal drawers known as `` type cases '' . Each is subdivided into a number of compartments ( `` boxes '' ) for the storage of different individual letters . The Oxford Universal Dictionary on Historical Advanced Proportional Principles ( reprinted 1952 ) indicates that case in this sense ( referring to the box or frame used by a compositor in the printing trade ) was first used in English in 1588 . Originally one large case was used for each typeface , then `` divided cases '' , pairs of cases for majuscules and minuscules , were introduced in the region of today 's Belgium by 1563 , England by 1588 , and France before 1723 . The terms upper and lower case originate from this division . By convention , when the two cases were taken out of the storage rack , and placed on a rack on the compositor 's desk , the case containing the capitals and small capitals stood at a steeper angle at the back of the desk , with the case for the small letters , punctuation and spaces being more easily reached at a shallower angle below it to the front of the desk , hence upper and lower case . Though pairs of cases were used in English - speaking countries and many European countries in the seventeenth century , in Germany and Scandinavia the single case continued in use . Various patterns of cases are available , often with the compartments for lower - case letters varying in size according to the frequency of use of letters , so that the commonest letters are grouped together in larger boxes at the centre of the case . The compositor takes the letter blocks from the compartments and places them in a composing stick , working from left to right and placing the letters upside down with the nick to the top , then sets the assembled type in a galley .

"Letter case (or just case) is the distinction between the letters that are in larger upper case (also uppercase, capital letters, capitals, caps, large letters, or more formally majuscule) and smaller lower case (also lowercase, small letters, or more formally minuscule) in the written representation of certain languages. The writing systems that distinguish between the upper and lower case have two parallel sets of letters, with each letter in one set usually having an equivalent in the other set. The two case variants are alternative representations of the same letter: they have the same name and pronunciation and will be treated identically when sorting in alphabetical order."

( June 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) International Bank for Reconstruction and Development IBRD logo Formation 1944 ; 74 years ago ( 1944 ) Type Development finance institution Legal status Treaty Purpose Development assistance , Poverty reduction Headquarters Washington , D.C. , United States Membership 189 countries President of the World Bank Jim Yong Kim Parent organization World Bank Group Website worldbank.org/ibrd The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development ( IBRD ) is an international financial institution that offers loans to middle - income developing countries . The IBRD is the first of five member institutions that compose the World Bank Group and is headquartered in Washington , D.C. , United States . It was established in 1944 with the mission of financing the reconstruction of European nations devastated by World War II . The IBRD and its concessional lending arm , the International Development Association , are collectively known as the World Bank as they share the same leadership and staff . Following the reconstruction of Europe , the Bank 's mandate expanded to advancing worldwide economic development and eradicating poverty . The IBRD provides commercial - grade or concessional financing to sovereign states to fund projects that seek to improve transportation and infrastructure , education , domestic policy , environmental consciousness , energy investments , healthcare , access to food and potable water , and access to improved sanitation . The IBRD is owned and governed by its member states , but has its own executive leadership and staff which conduct its normal business operations . The Bank 's member governments are shareholders which contribute paid - in capital and have the right to vote on its matters . In addition to contributions from its member nations , the IBRD acquires most of its capital by borrowing on international capital markets through bond issues . In 2011 , it raised $29 billion USD in capital from bond issues made in 26 different currencies . The Bank offers a number of financial services and products , including flexible loans , grants , risk guarantees , financial derivatives , and catastrophic risk financing . It reported lending commitments of $26.7 billion made to 132 projects in 2011 . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Governance 3 Funding 4 Services 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development ( IBRD ) and International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) were established by delegates at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 and became operational in 1946 . The IBRD was established with the original mission of financing the reconstruction efforts of war - torn European nations following World War II , with goals shared by the later Marshall Plan . The Bank issued its inaugural loan of $250 million ( $2.6 billion in 2012 dollars ) to France in 1947 to finance infrastructure projects . The institution also established its first field offices in Paris , France , Copenhagen , Denmark , and Prague in the former Czechoslovakia . Throughout the remainder of the 1940s and 1950s , the Bank financed projects seeking to dam rivers , generate electricity , and improve access to water and sanitation . It also invested in France , Belgium , and Luxembourg 's steel industry . Following the reconstruction of Europe , the Bank 's mandate has transitioned to eradicating poverty around the world . In 1960 , the International Development Association ( IDA ) was established to serve as the Bank 's concessional lending arm and provide low and no - cost finance and grants to the poorest of the developing countries as measured by gross national income per capita . Governance ( edit ) The IBRD is governed by the World Bank 's Board of Governors which meets annually and consists of one governor per member country ( most often the country 's finance minister or treasury secretary ) . The Board of Governors delegates most of its authority over daily matters such as lending and operations to the Board of Directors . The Board of Directors consists of 25 executive directors and is chaired by the President of the World Bank Group . The executive directors collectively represent all 189 member states of the World Bank . The president oversees the IBRD 's overall direction and daily operations . As of July 2012 , Jim Yong Kim serves as the President of the World Bank Group . The Bank and IDA operate with a staff of approximately 10,000 employees . Funding ( edit ) Although members contribute capital to the IBRD , the Bank acquires funds primarily by borrowing on international capital markets by issuing bonds . The Bank raised $29 billion USD worth of capital in 2011 from bonds issued in 26 different currencies . The IBRD has enjoyed a triple - A credit rating since 1959 , which allows it to borrow capital at favorable rates . It offers benchmark and global benchmark bonds , bonds denominated in non-hard currencies , structured notes with custom - tailored yields and currencies , discount notes in U.S. dollars and eurodollars .

"The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) is an international financial institution that offers loans to middle-income developing countries. The IBRD is the first of five member institutions that compose the World Bank Group and is headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States. It was established in 1944 with the mission of financing the reconstruction of European nations devastated by World War II. The IBRD and its concessional lending arm, the International Development Association, are collectively known as the World Bank as they share the same leadership and staff.[1][2][3] Following the reconstruction of Europe, the Bank's mandate expanded to advancing worldwide economic development and eradicating poverty. The IBRD provides commercial-grade or concessional financing to sovereign states to fund projects that seek to improve transportation and infrastructure, education, domestic policy, environmental consciousness, energy investments, healthcare, access to food and potable water, and access to improved sanitation."

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes in the leading roles of Romeo and Juliet , who instantly fall in love when Romeo crashes a party and meets her , despite their being members of the Montague and Capulet family ; Brian Dennehy , John Leguizamo , Pete Postlethwaite , Paul Sorvino , and Diane Venora star in supporting roles . While it retains the original Shakespearean dialogue , the film represents the Montagues and the Capulets as warring mafia empires ( with legitimate business fronts ) during 1990s America , and swords are replaced with guns ( with brand names such as `` Dagger '' and `` Sword '' ) . Some characters ' names are also changed . Lord and Lady Montague and Lord and Lady Capulet are given first names ( in the original , their first names are never mentioned ) ; Friar Laurence becomes Father Laurence , and Prince Escalus is renamed Captain Prince . The adaptation eliminates the character of Friar John , and some characters change families -- in the original , Gregory and Sampson are Capulets , but in the film , they are Montagues ( Abram , as Abra , and Petruchio , conversely , are shifted from the Montague to the Capulet family ) . In addition , a few plot details are shifted , most notably toward the ending . The film was released on November 1 , 1996 by 20th Century Fox to commercial success , and was met with generally positive reviews . The film grossed over $147.5 million over a $14.5 million budget . At the 47th Berlin International Film Festival in 1997 , DiCaprio won the Silver Bear for Best Actor and Luhrmann won the Alfred Bauer Prize . Luhrmann was also nominated for the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture . At the 69th Academy Awards , Catherine Martin and Brigitte Broch were nominated for Best Art Direction / Set Decoration . In 2005 , the film was included on the BFI list of the 50 films you should see by the age of 14 .

The animosity of the older generation -- Fulgencio and Gloria Capulet and Ted and Caroline Montague -- is felt by their younger relatives . A gunfight between the Montague boys led by Benvolio , Romeo 's cousin , and the Capulet boys led by Tybalt , Juliet 's cousin , creates chaos in the city . The Chief of Police , Captain Prince , reprimands the families , warning them that if such behavior continues , their lives `` shall pay the forfeit of the peace '' . Benvolio meets Romeo on a beach . While playing a game of pool they learn of a party being held by the Capulets that evening which they decide to gate - crash . Romeo agrees to come after discovering that Rosaline , with whom he is in love , is attending . Later , the Montague boys meet their friend , Mercutio , who has tickets to the party . Romeo takes ecstasy Mercutio gave him and they proceed to the Capulet mansion . The effects of the drug and the party overwhelm Romeo , who goes to the restroom . While admiring an aquarium , he sees Juliet on the other side , and the two instantly fall in love . Tybalt spots Romeo and vows to kill him for invading his family 's home , but Fulgencio stops him . Romeo and Juliet sneak into an elevator and kiss . The nurse spots them when the doors open and drags Juliet away , telling her that Romeo is a Montague . At the same time , Romeo realizes that Juliet is a Capulet . Mercutio removes Romeo from the party , but he sneaks back to the mansion , hiding under Juliet 's balcony . Juliet emerges into the courtyard and proclaims her love for Romeo before he sneaks up behind her . Juliet warns him that he is risking his life , but Romeo tells her he does n't care whether he is caught . Knowing her nurse is looking for her , Juliet tells him that , if he sends word by the following day , they will be betrothed . The next day , Romeo visits Father Laurence , telling him he wants to marry Juliet . He agrees to marry the pair in hopes that their marriage will end the violence between the families . Romeo passes the word on to Juliet 's nurse and the lovers are married . Tybalt encounters Mercutio at the beach just as Romeo arrives . Romeo attempts to make peace , but Tybalt assaults him . Mercutio intervenes and batters Tybalt , and is about to finish him off when Romeo stops him . Tybalt then slashes Mercutio with a shard of glass in his stomach . Mercutio curses both the Montagues and the Capulets before dying in Romeo 's arms . Enraged , Romeo chases after a fleeing Tybalt and guns him down . Captain Prince banishes Romeo from the city . Romeo goes into hiding with Father Laurence , who treats his injuries and says that , after some time passes , he will help Romeo and Juliet return to the city and reconcile with their family and friends . The nurse arrives and tells Romeo that Juliet is waiting for him . When Romeo climbs over Juliet 's balcony , she kisses him and they consummate their marriage . Meanwhile , Fulgencio decides Juliet will marry Dave Paris , the governor 's son . The next morning , Romeo narrowly escapes the Capulet mansion as Gloria tells Juliet that the family has promised she will marry Paris . She refuses , and Fulgencio threatens to disown her . Her mother and nurse insist it would be in her best interest to marry Paris . To get out of this , Juliet runs away and seeks out Father Laurence , imploring him to help her and threatening to commit suicide . Father Laurence proposes she fake her own death and be put in the Capulet vault to awaken 24 hours later . Romeo will be told of the plot , sneak into the vault , and once reunited the two can escape to Mantua . He gives her a potion which mimics death . After saying goodnight to her mother , Juliet drinks the potion and slips into a coma . She is found in the morning , declared dead , and placed in the vault . Balthasar , one of Romeo 's cousins , learns that Juliet is dead and tells Romeo , who is not home when the messenger arrives with a letter from Father Laurence . Romeo returns to Verona and buys a vial of poison . As he goes to the church , Captain Prince finds out he is back , and tries to capture him , without success . Father Laurence learns that Romeo never got his letter and has no idea Juliet is alive . Romeo enters the church where Juliet lies and bids her goodbye . She awakens just as Romeo takes the poison ; the two thus see each other and share a final kiss before he dies . A distraught Juliet picks up Romeo 's gun and shoots herself in the head , dying instantly . The two lovers are soon discovered in each other 's arms . Prince condemns both families , whose feuding led to such tragedy , while coroners quickly transport the two bodies to the morgue .

Emmet Walsh as Apothecary Quindon Tarver as Choir Boy , the singer at Romeo and Juliet 's wedding Edwina Moore as the Anchorwoman , who assumes the role of the Chorus Natalie Portman had been cast as Juliet but , during rehearsals , it was felt that the footage looked as though DiCaprio was `` molesting '' her . Baz Luhrmann has also stated that Portman was too young at the time , and made DiCaprio look older than intended . He was 21 at the time of filming and Portman was only 14 . After Sarah Michelle Gellar turned down the role due to scheduling conflicts , DiCaprio proclaimed that Danes should be cast , as he felt she was genuine in her line delivery and did not try to impress him by acting flirtatious . Production ( edit ) After the success of Strictly Ballroom , Luhrmann took some time over deciding what his next project would be : Our philosophy has always been that we think up what we need in our life , choose something creative that will make that life fulfilling , and then follow that road . With Romeo and Juliet what I wanted to do was to look at the way in which Shakespeare might make a movie of one of his plays if he was a director . How would he make it ? We do n't know a lot about Shakespeare , but we do know he would make a ' movie ' movie . He was a player . We know about the Elizabethan stage and that he was playing for 3000 drunken punters , from the street sweeper to the Queen of England - and his competition was bear - baiting and prostitution . So he was a relentless entertainer and a user of incredible devices and theatrical tricks to ultimately create something of meaning and convey a story . That was what we wanted to do . Luhrmann obtained some funds from Fox to do a workshop and shoot some teaser footage in Sydney . Leonardo DiCaprio agreed to pay his own expenses to fly to Sydney and be part of it . Once Fox saw footage of the fight scene , they agreed to support it . All of the development was done in Australia , with pre-production in Australia and Canada and post-production in Australia . While some parts of the film were shot in Miami , most of the film was shot in Mexico City and Boca del Rio , Veracruz . For instance , the Capulet mansion was set at Chapultepec Castle while the ballroom was built on Stage One of Churubusco Studios ; and the church is Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Del Valle neighborhood . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) The film premiered on November 1 , 1996 in the United States and Canada , in 1,276 theaters , and grossed $11.1 million its opening weekend , ranking # 1 at the box office . It went on to gross $46.3 million in the United States and Canada , with a worldwide total of USD $147,554,998 . Critical response ( edit ) Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes rated the film `` Fresh '' , with 72 % of 53 critics giving positive reviews with an average rating of 6.5 / 10 with the consensus that says , `` Baz Luhrmann 's visual aesthetic is as divisive as it is fresh and inventive '' . James Berardinelli gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and wrote , `` Ultimately , no matter how many innovative and unconventional flourishes it applies , the success of any adaptation of a Shakespeare play is determined by two factors : the competence of the director and the ability of the main cast members . Luhrmann , Danes , and DiCaprio place this Romeo and Juliet in capable hands . '' Leonardo DiCaprio won Favorite Actor and Claire Danes won Favorite Actress in a Romance at the 1997 Blockbuster Entertainment Awards . At the 1997 MTV Movie Awards , Danes won Best Female Performance . DiCaprio was nominated for Best Male Performance , and DiCaprio and Danes were both nominated for Best Kiss and Best On - Screen Duo . At the 51st BAFTA Film Awards , director Baz Luhrmann won Best Direction , Luhrmann and Mary Haile won the Best Adapted Screenplay , Nellee Hooper won the Best Film Music , and Catherine Martin won the Best Production Design . The film was also nominated for Best Cinematography , Best Editing , and Best Sound . The film won several awards . At the 47th Berlin International Film Festival in 1997 , DiCaprio won the Silver Bear for Best Actor and Luhrmann won the Alfred Bauer Prize . Luhrmann was also nominated for the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture . At the 69th Academy Awards , Catherine Martin and Brigitte Broch were nominated for Best Art Direction / Set Decoration . Conversely , Roger Ebert gave the film a mixed review of only 2 stars out of 4 , saying , `` I 've seen `` King Lear '' as a samurai drama and `` Macbeth '' as a Mafia story , and two different `` Romeo and Juliets '' about ethnic difficulties in Manhattan ( `` West Side Story '' and `` China Girl '' ) , but I have never seen anything remotely approaching the mess that the new punk version of `` Romeo & Juliet '' makes of Shakespeare 's tragedy .

The name `` cyanobacteria '' comes from the color of the bacteria ( Greek : κυανός ( kyanós ) = blue ) . Cyanobacteria ( which are prokaryotes ) used to be called `` blue - green algae '' . They have been renamed ' cyanobacteria ' in order to avoid the term `` algae '' , which in modern usage is restricted to eukaryotes . Unlike heterotrophic prokaryotes , cyanobacteria have internal membranes . They are flattened sacs called thylakoids where photosynthesis is performed . Phototrophic eukaryotes perform photosynthesis by plastids that have their ancestry in cyanobacteria , via a process called endosymbiosis . These endosymbiotic cyanobacteria in eukaryotes have evolved or differentiated into specialized organelles such as chloroplasts , etioplasts and leucoplasts . By producing and releasing oxygen ( as a byproduct of photosynthesis ) , cyanobacteria are thought to have converted the early oxygen - poor , reducing atmosphere , into an oxidizing one , causing the Great Oxygenation Event and the `` rusting of the Earth '' , which dramatically changed the composition of the Earth 's life forms and led to the near - extinction of anaerobic organisms .

Some filamentous species can differentiate into several different cell types : vegetative cells -- the normal , photosynthetic cells that are formed under favorable growing conditions ; akinetes -- climate - resistant spores that may form when environmental conditions become harsh ; and thick - walled heterocysts -- which contain the enzyme nitrogenase , vital for nitrogen fixation . Nitrogen fixation ( edit ) Cyanobacteria can fix atmospheric nitrogen in anaerobic conditions by means of specialized cells called heterocysts . Heterocysts may also form under the appropriate environmental conditions ( anoxic ) when fixed nitrogen is scarce . Heterocyst - forming species are specialized for nitrogen fixation and are able to fix nitrogen gas into ammonia ( NH ) , nitrites ( NO − 2 ) or nitrates ( NO − 3 ) , which can be absorbed by plants and converted to protein and nucleic acids ( atmospheric nitrogen is not bioavailable to plants , except for those having endosymbiotic nitrogen - fixing bacteria , especially the Fabaceae family , among others ) . Free - living cyanobacteria are present in the water of rice paddies , and cyanobacteria can be found growing as epiphytes on the surfaces of the green alga , Chara , where they may fix nitrogen . Cyanobacteria such as Anabaena ( a symbiont of the aquatic fern Azolla ) , can provide rice plantations with biofertilizer .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Colonies of Nostoc pruniforme Cylindrospermum sp . Many cyanobacteria form motile filaments of cells , called hormogonia , that travel away from the main biomass to bud and form new colonies elsewhere . The cells in a hormogonium are often thinner than in the vegetative state , and the cells on either end of the motile chain may be tapered . To break away from the parent colony , a hormogonium often must tear apart a weaker cell in a filament , called a necridium . Each individual cell ( each single cyanobacterium ) typically has a thick , gelatinous cell wall . They lack flagella , but hormogonia of some species can move about by gliding along surfaces . Many of the multicellular filamentous forms of Oscillatoria are capable of a waving motion ; the filament oscillates back and forth . In water columns , some cyanobacteria float by forming gas vesicles , as in archaea . These vesicles are not organelles as such . They are not bounded by lipid membranes , but by a protein sheath . Ecology ( edit ) Cyanobacterial bloom near Fiji Cyanobacteria can be found in almost every terrestrial and aquatic habitat -- oceans , fresh water , damp soil , temporarily moistened rocks in deserts , bare rock and soil , and even Antarctic rocks . They can occur as planktonic cells or form phototrophic biofilms . They are found in almost every endolithic ecosystem . A few are endosymbionts in lichens , plants , various protists , or sponges and provide energy for the host . Some live in the fur of sloths , providing a form of camouflage . Aquatic cyanobacteria are known for their extensive and highly visible blooms that can form in both freshwater and marine environments . The blooms can have the appearance of blue - green paint or scum . These blooms can be toxic , and frequently lead to the closure of recreational waters when spotted . Marine bacteriophages are significant parasites of unicellular marine cyanobacteria . Cyanobacteria prefer calm waters , such as those provided by ponds and lakes . Their life cycles are disrupted when the water naturally or artificially mixes from churning currents caused by the flowing water of streams or the churning water of fountains . For this reason blooms of cyanobacteria seldom occur in rivers unless the water is flowing slowly . When the bacteria are found in rivers , they have usually come from the outfall of lakes upstream from the sampling point . Cyanobacteria are a growing concern for drinking water utilities who use lakes and rivers as their source water . The bacteria can interfere with treatment in various ways , primarily by plugging filters ( often large beds of sand and similar media ) , and by producing cyanotoxins , which have the potential of causing serious illness if consumed . Some of these organisms contribute significantly to global ecology and the oxygen cycle . The tiny marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus was discovered in 1986 and accounts for more than half of the photosynthesis of the open ocean . Many cyanobacteria even display the circadian rhythms that were once thought to exist only in eukaryotic cells ( see bacterial circadian rhythms ) . `` Cyanobacteria are arguably the most successful group of microorganisms on earth . They are the most genetically diverse ; they occupy a broad range of habitats across all latitudes , widespread in freshwater , marine , and terrestrial ecosystems , and they are found in the most extreme niches such as hot springs , salt works , and hypersaline bays . Photoautotrophic , oxygen - producing cyanobacteria created the conditions in the planet 's early atmosphere that directed the evolution of aerobic metabolism and eukaryotic photosynthesis . Cyanobacteria fulfill vital ecological functions in the world 's oceans , being important contributors to global carbon and nitrogen budgets . '' -- Stewart and Falconer Photosynthesis ( edit ) While contemporary cyanobacteria are linked to the plant kingdom as descendants of the endosymbiotic progenitor of the chloroplast , there are several features which are unique to this group . Carbon fixation ( edit ) Cyanobacteria use the energy of sunlight to drive photosynthesis , a process where the energy of light is used to synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide . Because they are aquatic organisms , they typically employ several strategies which are collectively known as a `` carbon concentrating mechanism '' to aid in the acquisition of inorganic carbon ( CO or bicarbonate ) . Among the more specific strategies is the widespread prevalence of the bacterial microcompartments known as carboxysomes . These icosahedral structures are composed of hexameric shell proteins that assemble into cage - like structures that can be several hundreds of nanometers in diameter . It is believed that these structures tether the CO-fixing enzyme , RuBisCO , to the interior of the shell , as well as the enzyme carbonic anhydrase , using the paradigm of metabolic channeling to enhance the local CO concentrations and thus increase the efficiency of the RuBisCO enzyme . Electron transport ( edit ) In contrast to purple bacteria and other bacteria performing anoxygenic photosynthesis , thylakoid membranes of cyanobacteria are not continuous with the plasma membrane but are separate compartments . While most of the high - energy electrons derived from water are used by the cyanobacterial cells for their own needs , a fraction of these electrons may be donated to the external environment via electrogenic activity . Metabolism and organelles ( edit ) As prokaryotes , cyanobacteria do not have nuclei . In most forms , the photosynthetic machinery is embedded into internal membrane structures called thylakoids . Cyanobacteria get their colour from the bluish pigment phycocyanin , which assists chlorophyll in photosynthesis . In general , photosynthesis in cyanobacteria uses water as an electron donor and produces oxygen as a byproduct , though some may also use hydrogen sulfide a process which occurs among other photosynthetic bacteria such as the purple sulfur bacteria . Carbon dioxide is reduced to form carbohydrates via the Calvin cycle . The large amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere are considered to have been first created by the activities of ancient cyanobacteria . They are often found as symbionts with a number of other groups of organisms such as fungi ( lichens ) , corals , pteridophytes ( Azolla ) , angiosperms ( Gunnera ) , etc . Many cyanobacteria are able to reduce nitrogen and carbon dioxide under aerobic conditions , a fact that may be responsible for their evolutionary and ecological success . The water - oxidizing photosynthesis is accomplished by coupling the activity of photosystem ( PS ) II and I ( Z - scheme ) . In anaerobic conditions , they are able to use only PS I -- cyclic photophosphorylation -- with electron donors other than water ( hydrogen sulfide , thiosulphate , or even molecular hydrogen ) just like purple photosynthetic bacteria . Furthermore , they share an archaeal property , the ability to reduce elemental sulfur by anaerobic respiration in the dark . Their photosynthetic electron transport shares the same compartment as the components of respiratory electron transport . Their plasma membrane contains only components of the respiratory chain , while the thylakoid membrane hosts an interlinked respiratory and photosynthetic electron transport chain . The terminal oxidases in the thylakoid membrane respiratory / photosynthetic electron transport chain are essential for survival to rapid light changes , although not for dark maintenance under conditions where cells are not light stressed . Attached to the thylakoid membrane , phycobilisomes act as light - harvesting antennae for the photosystems . The phycobilisome components ( phycobiliproteins ) are responsible for the blue - green pigmentation of most cyanobacteria . The variations on this theme are due mainly to carotenoids and phycoerythrins that give the cells their red - brownish coloration . In some cyanobacteria , the color of light influences the composition of phycobilisomes . In green light , the cells accumulate more phycoerythrin , whereas in red light they produce more phycocyanin . Thus , the bacteria appear green in red light and red in green light . This process of complementary chromatic adaptation is a way for the cells to maximize the use of available light for photosynthesis . A few genera lack phycobilisomes and have chlorophyll b instead ( Prochloron , Prochlorococcus , Prochlorothrix ) . These were originally grouped together as the prochlorophytes or chloroxybacteria , but appear to have developed in several different lines of cyanobacteria . For this reason , they are now considered as part of the cyanobacterial group . There are some groups capable of heterotrophic growth , while others are parasitic , causing diseases in invertebrates or eukaryotic algae ( e.g. , the black band disease ) . Relationship to chloroplasts ( edit ) See also : Chloroplast § Chloroplast lineages and evolution Primary chloroplasts are cell organelles found in some eukaryotic lineages , where they are specialized in performing the photosynthesis . They are known to have evolved from cyanobacteria through endosymbiosis , i.e. after the engulfment of a cell by another . In this case , a photosynthesizing cyanobacteria that was engulfed in some ancient eukaryotic cell . After some years of debate , it is now generally accepted that the three major groups of primary endosymbiotic eukaryotes ( i.e. green plants , red algae and glaucophytes ) form one large monophyletic group called Archaeplastida , which evolved after one unique endosymbiotic event . The morphological similarity between chloroplasts and cyanobacteria was first reported by German botanist Andreas Schimper in the 19th century Chloroplasts are only found in plants and algae , thus paving the way for Russian biologist Konstantin Mereschkowski to suggest the symbiogenic origin of the plastid in 1905 . Lynn Margulis brought this hypothesis back to attention more than 60 years later but it was not until supplementary data started to accumulate than the idea became fully accepted . The cyanobacterial origin of plastids is now supported by various pieces of phylogenetic , genomic , biochemical and structural evidence . The fact that another independent and more recent primary endosymbiosis event has been described between a cyanobacterium and a separate eukaryote lineage ( the rhizarian Paulinella chromatophora ) also gives credibility to the endosymbiotic origin of the plastid . In addition to this primary endosymbiosis , many eukaryotic lineages have been subject to secondary or even tertiary endosymbiotic events , that is the `` Matryoshka - like '' engulfment by a eukaryote of another plastid - bearing eukaryote . Within this evolutionary context , it is noteworthy that , as far as we can tell , oxygenic photosynthesis only evolved once ( in cyanobacteria ) , and all other photosynthetic eukaryotes ( including all plants and algae ) have acquired this ability from them . In other words , all the oxygen that makes the atmosphere breathable for aerobic organisms originally comes from cyanobacteria or their later descendants . Classification ( edit ) Tree of Life in Generelle Morphologie der Organismen ( 1866 ) . Note the location of the genus Nostoc with algae and not with bacteria ( kingdom `` Monera '' ) See also : Bacterial taxonomy Historically , bacteria were first classified as plants constituting the class Schizomycetes , which along with the Schizophyceae ( blue - green algae / Cyanobacteria ) formed the phylum Schizophyta , then in the phylum Monera in the kingdom Protista by Haeckel in 1866 , comprising Protogens , Protamaeba , Vampyrella , Protomonae , and Vibrio , but not Nostoc and other cyanobacteria , which were classified with algae , later reclassified as the Prokaryotes by Chatton . The cyanobacteria were traditionally classified by morphology into five sections , referred to by the numerals I-V . The first three -- Chroococcales , Pleurocapsales , and Oscillatoriales -- are not supported by phylogenetic studies . The latter two -- Nostocales and Stigonematales -- are monophyletic , and make up the heterocystous cyanobacteria . The members of Chroococales are unicellular and usually aggregate in colonies . The classic taxonomic criterion has been the cell morphology and the plane of cell division . In Pleurocapsales , the cells have the ability to form internal spores ( baeocytes ) . The rest of the sections include filamentous species . In Oscillatoriales , the cells are uniseriately arranged and do not form specialized cells ( akinetes and heterocysts ) . In Nostocales and Stigonematales , the cells have the ability to develop heterocysts in certain conditions . Stigonematales , unlike Nostocales , include species with truly branched trichomes . Most taxa included in the phylum or division Cyanobacteria have not yet been validly published under the Bacteriological Code , except : The classes Chroobacteria , Hormogoneae , and Gloeobacteria The orders Chroococcales , Gloeobacterales , Nostocales , Oscillatoriales , Pleurocapsales , and Stigonematales The families Prochloraceae and Prochlorotrichaceae The genera Halospirulina , Planktothricoides , Prochlorococcus , Prochloron , and Prochlorothrix The remainder are validly published under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae , fungi , and plants . Formerly , some bacteria , like Beggiatoa , were thought to be colorless Cyanobacteria . Earth History ( edit ) Stromatolites are layered biochemical accretionary structures formed in shallow water by the trapping , binding , and cementation of sedimentary grains by biofilms ( microbial mats ) of microorganisms , especially cyanobacteria . Stromatolites left behind by cyanobacteria are the oldest known fossils of life on Earth . This one - billion - year - old fossil is from Glacier National Park in Montana . During the Precambrian , stromatolite communities of microorganisms grew in most marine and non-marine environments in the photic zone . After the Cambrian explosion of marine animals , grazing on the stromatolite mats by herbivores greatly reduced the occurrence of the stromatolites in marine environments . Since then , they are found mostly in hypersaline conditions where grazing invertebrates can not live ( e.g. Shark Bay , Western Australia ) . Stromatolites provide ancient records of life on Earth by fossil remains which might date from more than 3.5 Ga ago , but this is disputed . As of 2010 the oldest undisputed evidence of cyanobacteria is from 2.1 Ga ago , but there is some evidence for them as far back as 2.7 Ga ago . Oxygen levels in the atmosphere remained around or below 1 % of today 's level until 2.4 Ga ago ( the Great Oxygenation Event ) . The rise in oxygen may have caused a fall in methane levels , and triggered the Huronian glaciation from around 2.4 to 2.1 Ga ago . In this way , cyanobacteria may have killed off much of the other bacteria of the time . Oncolites are sedimentary structures composed of oncoids , which are layered structures formed by cyanobacterial growth . Oncolites are similar to stromatolites , but instead of forming columns , they form approximately spherical structures that were not attached to the underlying substrate as they formed . The oncoids often form around a central nucleus , such as a shell fragment , and a calcium carbonate structure is deposited by encrusting microbes . Oncolites are indicators of warm waters in the photic zone , but are also known in contemporary freshwater environments . These structures rarely exceed 10 cm in diameter . Biotechnology and applications ( edit ) The unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp . PCC6803 was the third prokaryote and first photosynthetic organism whose genome was completely sequenced . It continues to be an important model organism . Cyanothece ATCC 51142 is an important diazotrophic model organism . The smallest genomes have been found in Prochlorococcus spp . ( 1.7 Mb ) and the largest in Nostoc punctiforme ( 9 Mb ) . Those of Calothrix spp . are estimated at 12 -- 15 Mb , as large as yeast . Oncolites from the Late Devonian Alamo bolide impact in Nevada Recent research has suggested the potential application of cyanobacteria to the generation of renewable energy by converting sunlight into electricity . Internal photosynthetic pathways can be coupled to chemical mediators that transfer electrons to external electrodes . Currently , efforts are underway to commercialize algae - based fuels such as diesel , gasoline , and jet fuel . Cyanobacteria cultured in specific media : Cyanobacteria can be helpful in agriculture as they have the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in soil . Researchers from a company called Algenol have cultured genetically modified cyanobacteria in sea water inside a clear plastic enclosure so they first make sugar ( pyruvate ) from CO and the water via photosynthesis . Then , the bacteria secrete ethanol from the cell into the salt water . As the day progresses , and the solar radiation intensifies , ethanol concentrations build up and the ethanol itself evaporates onto the roof of the enclosure . As the sun recedes , evaporated ethanol and water condense into droplets , which run along the plastic walls and into ethanol collectors , from where it is extracted from the enclosure with the water and ethanol separated outside the enclosure . As of March 2013 , Algenol was claiming to have tested its technology in Florida and to have achieved yields of 9,000 US gallons per acre per year . This could potentially meet US demands for ethanol in gasoline in 2025 , assuming a B30 blend , from an area of around half the size of California 's San Bernardino County , requiring less than one - tenth of the area than ethanol from other biomass , such as corn , and only very limited amounts of fresh water . Cyanobacteria may possess the ability to produce substances that could one day serve as anti-inflammatory agents and combat bacterial infections in humans . Spirulina 's extracted blue color is used as a natural food coloring in gum and candy . Researchers from several space agencies argue that cyanobacteria could be used for producing goods for human consumption ( food , oxygen ... ) in future manned outposts on Mars , by transforming materials available on this planet . Health risks ( edit ) Main article : Cyanotoxin Cyanobacteria can produce neurotoxins , cytotoxins , endotoxins , and hepatotoxins ( e.g. , the microcystin - producing bacteria genus microcystis ) , and collectively known as cyanotoxins . Specific toxins include , anatoxin - a , anatoxin - as , aplysiatoxin , cyanopeptolin , cylindrospermopsin , domoic acid , nodularin R ( from Nodularia ) , neosaxitoxin , and saxitoxin . Cyanobacteria reproduce explosively under certain conditions . This results in algal blooms , which can become harmful to other species , and pose a danger to humans and animals , if the cyanobacteria involved produce toxins . Several cases of human poisoning have been documented , but a lack of knowledge prevents an accurate assessment of the risks . Recent studies suggest that significant exposure to high levels of cyanobacteria producing toxins such as BMAA can cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( ALS ) . People living within half a mile of cyanobacterially contaminated lakes have had a 2.3 - times greater risk of developing ALS than the rest of the population ; people around New Hampshire 's Lake Mascoma had an up to 25 times greater risk of ALS than the expected incidence . BMAA from desert crusts found throughout Qatar might have contributed to higher rates of ALS in Gulf War veterans . Chemical control ( edit ) Several chemicals can eliminate cyanobacterial blooms from water - based systems . They include : calcium hypochlorite , copper sulphate , cupricide , and simazine . The calcium hypochlorite amount needed varies depending on the cyanobacteria bloom , and treatment is needed periodically . According to the Department of Agriculture Australia , a rate of 12 g of 70 % material in 1000 l of water is often effective to treat a bloom . Copper sulfate is also used commonly , but no longer recommended by the Australian Department of Agriculture , as it kills livestock , crustaceans , and fish . Culpricide is a chelated copper product that eliminates blooms with lower toxicity risks than copper sulfate . Dosage recommendations vary from 190 ml to 4.8 l per 1000 m . Ferric alum treatments at the rate of 50 mg / l will reduce algae blooms . Simazine , which is also a herbicide , will continue to kill blooms for several days after an application . Simazine is marketed at different strengths ( 25 , 50 , and 90 % ) , the recommended amount needed for one cubic meter of water per product is 25 % product 8 ml ; 50 % product 4 ml ; or 90 % product 2.2 ml . Dietary supplementation ( edit ) Spirulina tablets Some cyanobacteria are sold as food , notably Aphanizomenon flos - aquae and Arthrospira platensis ( Spirulina ) . Despite the associated toxins which many of the members of this phylum produce , some microalgae also contain substances of high biological value , such as polyunsaturated fatty acids , amino acids ( proteins ) , pigments , antioxidants , vitamins , and minerals . Edible blue - green algae reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting NF - κB pathway in macrophages and splenocytes . Sulfate polysaccharides exhibit immunomodulatory , antitumor , antithrombotic , anticoagulant , anti-mutagenic , anti-inflammatory , antimicrobial , and even antiviral activity against HIV , herpes , and hepatitis .

Some scholars and journalists state that the country was experiencing a civil war . Following the U.S. - launched 2003 invasion of Iraq , intercommunal violence between Iraqi Sunni and Shi'a factions became prevalent . In February 2006 , the Sunni organization Al - Qaeda in Iraq bombed one of the holiest sites in Shi'a Islam - the al - Askari Mosque in Samarra . This set off a wave of Shi'a reprisals against Sunnis followed by Sunni counterattacks . The conflict escalated over the next several months until by 2007 , the National Intelligence Estimate described the situation as having elements of a civil war . In 2008 and 2009 , during the Sunni Awakening and the surge , violence declined dramatically . However , low - level strife continued to plague Iraq until the U.S. withdrawal in late 2011 . Two polls of Americans conducted in 2006 found that between 65 % to 85 % believed Iraq was in a civil war ; however , a similar poll of Iraqis conducted in 2007 found that 61 % did not believe that they were in a civil war . In October 2006 , the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR ) and the Iraqi government estimated that more than 370,000 Iraqis had been displaced since the 2006 bombing of the al - Askari Mosque , bringing the total number of Iraqi refugees to more than 1.6 million . By 2008 , the UNHCR raised the estimate of refugees to a total of about 4.7 million ( ~ 16 % of the population ) . The number of refugees estimated abroad was 2 million ( a number close to CIA projections ) and the number of internally displaced people was 2.7 million . The estimated number of orphans across Iraq has ranged from 400,000 ( according to the Baghdad Provincial Council ) , to five million ( according to Iraq 's anti-corruption board ) . A UN report from 2008 placed the number of orphans at about 870,000 . The Red Cross stated in 2008 that Iraq 's humanitarian situation was among the most critical in the world , with millions of Iraqis forced to rely on insufficient and poor - quality water sources . According to the Failed States Index , produced by Foreign Policy magazine and the Fund for Peace , Iraq was one of the world 's top 5 unstable states from 2005 to 2008 . A poll of top U.S. foreign policy experts conducted in 2007 showed that over the next 10 years , just 3 % of experts believed the U.S. would be able to rebuild Iraq into a `` beacon of democracy '' and 58 % of experts believed that Sunni -- Shiite tensions would dramatically increase in the Middle East .

Sunnis ( Arabic speaking ) : 20 % : Politically dominated Iraq for centuries until the Coalition invasion of 2003 . Kurdish - 26 % : independent administration ( mostly Sunnis , small Shi'ite , Yazidi , and other elements ) . Assyrian - 1 % : This group has a minor role in the current situation ( mostly Christians ) . Turkoman - 2 % : This group has a minor role in the current situation ( majority Sunni with large Shi'a minority ) , although Turkey is concerned about their overall treatment in Iraq . Religions : Islam - 95 % : This is the primary religion in Iraq and serves as one of the primary sectarian distinctions . Sunni - 30 % : Majority Arabs with Kurds and Turkomans by 3 to 1 . Shi'ite - 65 % : Mainly Arabs with a very small minority of Kurds and Turkomans . Christian , Mandaeans and Yazidi ~ 5 % : These groups have a minor role in the civil war situation . The main two participants in the violence were the Arab Sunni and Arab Shia factions , but conflicts within a single group also occurred . The Kurds were caught between the two religious groups , but as they were an ethnicity as opposed to a religious movement , they were often at odds with the Arabs that were settled in Iraqi Kurdistan by Saddam 's Arabization policy . Blurring this cohesion , though , were division of social , economic , political and geographic identities . Participants ( edit ) Main articles : Al - Qaeda in Iraq , Iraqi insurgency ( Iraq War ) , and Private militias in Iraq A multitude of groups formed the Iraqi insurgency , which arose in a piecemeal fashion as a reaction to local events , notably the realisation of the U.S. military 's inability to control Iraq . Beginning in 2005 the insurgent forces coalesced around several main factions , including the Islamic Army in Iraq and Ansar al - Sunna . Religious justification was used to support the political actions of these groups , as well as a marked adherence to Salafism , branding those against the jihad as non-believers . This approach played a role in the rise of sectarian violence . The U.S. military also believe that between 5 - 10 % of insurgent forces are non-Iraqi Arabs . Independent Shi'ite militias identified themselves around sectarian ideology and possessed various levels of influence and power . Some militias were founded in exile and returned to Iraq only after the toppling of Saddam Hussein , such as the Badr Organization . Others were created since the state collapse , the largest and most uniform of which was the Mahdi Army established by Moqtada al - Sadr and believed to have around 50,000 fighters . Conflict and tactics ( edit ) Non-military targets ( edit ) Attacks on non-military and civilian targets began in earnest in August 2003 as an attempt to sow chaos and sectarian discord . Iraqi casualties increased over the next several years . Bomb and mortar attacks ( edit ) Bomb attacks aimed at civilians usually targeted crowded places such as marketplaces and mosques in Shi'ite cities and districts . The bombings , which were sometimes co-ordinated , often inflicted extreme casualties . For example , the 23 November 2006 Sadr City bombings killed at least 215 people and injured hundreds more in the Sadr City district of Baghdad , sparking reprisal attacks , and the 3 February 2007 Baghdad market bombing killed at least 135 and injured more than 300 . The co-ordinated 2 March 2004 Iraq Ashura bombings ( including car bombs , suicide bombers and mortar , grenade and rocket attacks ) killed at least 178 people and injured at least 500 . Suicide bombings ( edit ) Main article : List of suicide bombings in Iraq since 2003 Since August 2003 , suicide car bombs were increasingly used as weapons by Sunni militants , primarily al - Qaeda extremists . The car bombs , known in the military as vehicle - borne improvised explosive devices ( VBIEDs ) , emerged as one of the militants ' most effective weapons , directed not only against civilian targets but also against Iraqi police stations and recruiting centers . These vehicle IEDs were often driven by the extremists from foreign Muslim countries with a history of militancy , such as Saudi Arabia , Algeria , Egypt , and Pakistan . Death squads ( edit ) Death squad - style killings in Iraq took place in a variety of ways . Kidnapping , followed by often extreme torture ( such as drilling holes in people 's feet with drills ) and execution - style killings , sometimes public ( in some cases , beheadings ) , emerged as another tactic . In some cases , tapes of the execution were distributed for propaganda purposes . The bodies were usually dumped on a roadside or in other places , several at a time . There were also several relatively large - scale massacres , like the Hay al Jihad massacre in which some 40 Sunnis were killed in a response to the car bombing which killed a dozen Shi'ites . The death squads were often disgruntled Shi'ites , including members of the security forces , who killed Sunnis to avenge the consequences of the insurgency against the Shi'ite - dominated government . Iraq Body Count project data shows that 33 % of civilian deaths during the Iraq War resulted from execution after abduction or capture . These were overwhelmingly carried out by unknown actors including insurgents , sectarian militias and criminals . Such killings occurred much more frequently during the 2006 - 07 period of sectarian violence . Attacks on places of worship ( edit ) On 22 February 2006 , a highly provocative explosion took place at the al - Askari Mosque in the Iraqi city of Samarra , one of the holiest sites in Shi'a Islam , believed to have been caused by a bomb planted by al - Qaeda in Iraq . Although no injuries occurred in the blast , the mosque was severely damaged and the bombing resulted in violence over the following days . Over 100 dead bodies with bullet holes were found on the next day , and at least 165 people are thought to have been killed . In the aftermath of this attack the U.S. military calculated that the average homicide rate in Baghdad tripled from 11 to 33 deaths per day . Dozens of Iraqi mosques were aftwerwards attacked or taken over by the sectarian forces . For example , a Sunni mosque was burnt in the southern Iraqi town of Haswa on 25 March 2007 , in the revenge for the destruction of a Shia mosque in the town the previous day . In several cases , Christian churches were also attacked by the extremists . Later , another al - Askari bombing took place in June 2007 . Iraq 's Christian minority also became a target by Al Qaeda Sunnis because of conflicting theological ideas . Sectarian desertions ( edit ) Some Iraqi service members deserted the military or the police and others refused to serve in hostile areas . For example , some members of one sect refused to serve in neighborhoods dominated by other sects . The ethnic Kurdish soldiers from northern Iraq , who were mostly Sunnis but not Arabs , were also reported to be deserting the army to avoid the civil strife in Baghdad . Timeline ( edit ) Main articles : 2003 in Iraq , 2004 in Iraq , 2005 in Iraq , 2006 in Iraq , 2007 in Iraq , 2008 in Iraq , 2009 in Iraq , 2010 in Iraq , and 2011 in Iraq For more information on events in a specific year , see the associated timeline page . Civilian deaths attributable to insurgent or military action in Iraq , and also to increased criminal violence . For the period between January 2006 and February 2008 as rendered by the Congressional Research Service for the Department of Defense . Many of these type of civilian deaths were not reported , and this image only reports from 2006 on . Other methods of estimating civilian deaths come up with much higher numbers . See also : Casualties of the conflict in Iraq since 2003 . Growth in refugee flight ( edit ) Main article : Refugees of Iraq By 2008 , the UNHCR raised the estimate of refugees to a total of about 4.7 million , with 2 million displaced internally and 2.7 million displaced externally . In April 2006 the Ministry of Displacement and Migration estimated that `` nearly 70,000 displaced Iraqis , especially from the capital , are living in deteriorating conditions , '' due to ongoing sectarian violence . Roughly 40 % of Iraq 's middle class is believed to have fled , the U.N. said . Most were fleeing systematic persecution and had no desire to return . Refugees were mired in poverty as they were generally barred from working in their host countries . A 25 May 2007 article noted that in the past seven months only 69 people from Iraq had been granted refugee status in the United States . Use of `` civil war '' label ( edit ) The use of the term `` civil war '' has been controversial , with a number of commentators preferring the term `` civil conflict '' . A poll of over 5,000 Iraqi nationals found that 27 % of polled Iraqi residents agreed that Iraq was in a civil war , while 61 % thought Iraq was not . Two similar polls of Americans conducted in 2006 found that between 65 % to 85 % believed Iraq was in a civil war . In the United States , the term has been politicized . Deputy leader of the United States Senate , Dick Durbin , referred to `` this civil war in Iraq '' in a criticism of George W. Bush 's 10 January 2007 , President 's Address to the Nation . Edward Wong on 26 November 2006 paraphrased a report from a group of American professors at Stanford University that the insurgency in Iraq amounted to the classic definition of a civil war . An unclassified summary of the 90 - page January 2007 National Intelligence Estimate , titled Prospects for Iraq 's Stability : A Challenging Road Ahead , states the following regarding the use of the term `` civil war '' : The Intelligence Community judges that the term `` civil war '' does not adequately capture the complexity of the conflict in Iraq , which includes extensive Shia - on - Shia violence , al - Qa'ida and Sunni insurgent attacks on Coalition forces , and widespread criminally motivated violence . Nonetheless , the term `` civil war '' accurately describes key elements of the Iraqi conflict , including the hardening of ethno - sectarian identities , a sea change in the character of the violence , ethno - sectarian mobilization , and population displacements . Retired United States Army General Barry McCaffrey issued a report on 26 March 2007 , after a trip and analysis of the situation in Iraq . The report labeled the situation a `` low - grade civil war . '' In page 3 of the report , he writes that : `` Iraq is ripped by a low - grade civil war which has worsened to catastrophic levels with as many as 3000 citizens murdered per month . The population is in despair . Life in many of the urban areas is now desperate . A handful of foreign fighter ( 500 + ) -- and a couple thousand Al Qaeda operatives incite open factional struggle through suicide bombings which target Shia holy places and innocent civilians ... The police force is feared as a Shia militia in uniform which is responsible for thousands of extra-judicial killings .

Humphrey Metrodome ( 1982 -- 2013 ) TCF Bank Stadium ( 2014 -- 2015 ) U.S. Bank Stadium ( 2016 -- present ) The Minnesota Vikings are an American football team based in Minneapolis , Minnesota . The Vikings joined the National Football League ( NFL ) as an expansion team in 1960 , and first took the field for the 1961 season . The team competes in the National Football Conference ( NFC ) North division . The Vikings played in four Super Bowl games in the 1970s , but lost all four . During the 1960s , the Vikings ' record was typical for an expansion franchise , but improved over the course of the decade , resulting in a Central Division title in 1968 . In 1969 , their dominant defense led to the Vikings ' league championship in 1969 , the last NFL championship prior to the merger of the NFL with the AFL . The team plays its home games at U.S. Bank Stadium in the Downtown East section of Minneapolis .

However , a new professional team in the area did not surface again until August 1959 , when Minneapolis businessmen Bill Boyer , H.P. Skoglund , and Max Winter were awarded a franchise in the new American Football League ( AFL ) . Five months later , in January 1960 , after significant pressure from the NFL , the ownership group , along with Bernard H. Ridder Jr. , reneged on its agreement with the AFL and then was awarded the National Football League 's 14th franchise , with play to begin in 1961 . Ole Haugsrud was added to the NFL team ownership because , in the 1920s , when he sold his Duluth Eskimos team back to the league , the agreement allowed him 10 percent of any future Minnesota team . Coincidentally or not , the teams from Ole Haugsrud 's high school , Central High School in Superior , Wisconsin , were also called the Vikings and also had a similar purple - and - yellow uniform design and color scheme . From the team 's first season in 1961 to 1981 , the team called Metropolitan Stadium in suburban Bloomington home . The Vikings conducted summer training camp at Bemidji State University from 1961 to 1965 . In 1966 , the team moved to their training camp to Minnesota State University in Mankato . The training camp at Minnesota State was one of the longest continuously running training camp events in the NFL and is remembered as part of the golden era history of the team . The Vikings played their home games at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis from 1982 to 2013 . The Vikings played their last game at the Metrodome on December 29 , 2013 , defeating the Detroit Lions 14 -- 13 to end the season . Since the team 's first season in 1961 , the Vikings have had one of the highest winning percentages in the NFL . As of 2017 , they have won at least three games in every season except in 1962 , and are one of only six NFL teams to win at least 15 games in a regular season . The Vikings have won one NFL Championship , in 1969 , before the league 's merger with the American Football League ( AFL ) . Since the league merger in 1970 , they have qualified for the playoffs 27 times , third-most in the league . The team has played in Super Bowls IV , VIII , IX , and XI , though failing to win any of them . In addition , they have lost in their last six NFC Championship Game appearances since 1978 . The team currently has 14 members in the Pro Football Hall of Fame . 1960s ( edit ) The team was officially named the Minnesota Vikings on September 27 , 1960 ; the name is partly meant to reflect Minnesota 's place as a center of Scandinavian American culture . From the start , the Vikings embraced an energetic marketing program that produced first - year season ticket sales of nearly 26,000 and an average home attendance of 34,586 , about 85 percent of Metropolitan Stadium 's capacity of 40,800 . Eventually , the capacity of Met Stadium was increased to 47,900 . Bert Rose , former public relations director for the Los Angeles Rams , was appointed the team 's first general manager . The search for the first head coach saw the team court then - Northwestern University head coach Ara Parseghian , who , according to Minneapolis Star writer Jim Klobuchar -- the Vikings ' first beat reporter for that newspaper -- visited team management in the Twin Cities under the condition that his visit was to be kept secret from his current employer . His cover was blown by local columnist Sid Hartman , who reported the visit and forced Parseghian to issue denials . Philadelphia Eagles assistant Nick Skorich and a man with Minnesota ties who was working in the CFL , Bud Grant , were also candidates until a different Eagle , quarterback Norm Van Brocklin , was hired on January 18 , 1961 . Van Brocklin had just finished his career as a player on a high note , having defeated the Green Bay Packers in the 1960 NFL Championship Game . Head Coach Bud Grant ( 1967 -- 1983 and 1985 ) The Vikings were upset by the Chiefs 23 -- 7 in Super Bowl IV . As a new franchise , the Vikings had the first overall selection in the 1961 NFL Draft , and they picked running back Tommy Mason of Tulane . They also took a young quarterback from the University of Georgia named Fran Tarkenton in the third round . Notable veterans acquired in the offseason were George Shaw and Hugh McElhenny . The Vikings won their first regular season game , defeating the Chicago Bears 37 -- 13 on Opening Day 1961 ; Tarkenton came off the bench to throw four touchdown passes and run for another to lead the upset . Reality set in as the expansion team lost its next seven games on their way to a 3 -- 11 record . The losing continued throughout much of the 1960s as the Vikings had a combined record of 32 wins , 59 losses , and 7 ties in their first seven seasons with only one winning season ( 8 -- 5 -- 1 in 1964 ) . On March 7 , 1967 , quarterback Fran Tarkenton was traded to the New York Giants for a first - round and second - round draft choice in 1967 , a first - round choice in 1968 and a second - round choice in 1969 . With the picks , Minnesota selected Clinton Jones and Bob Grim in 1967 , Ron Yary in 1968 and Ed White in 1969 . On March 10 , 1967 the Vikings hired new head coach Bud Grant to replace Van Brocklin , who had resigned on February 11 , 1967 . Grant came to the Vikings from the Canadian Football League as head coach for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers , whom he led to four Grey Cup Championships in 10 years . Replacing Tarkenton at quarterback was eight - year CFL veteran and Grey Cup champion Joe Kapp . During the late 1960s , the Vikings built a powerful defense known as the Purple People Eaters , led by Alan Page , Carl Eller , Gary Larsen , and Jim Marshall . In 1968 , that stingy defense earned the Vikings their first Central Division title and their first playoff berth . In 1969 , the Vikings secured a 12 -- 2 record . The team had 12 straight regular - season victories after a season - opening loss to the New York Giants , which was the longest single - season winning streak in 35 years . The Vikings defeated the Cleveland Browns 27 -- 7 in the last pre-merger NFL Championship Game on January 4 , 1970 , at Metropolitan Stadium . The Vikings became the first modern NFL expansion team to win an NFL Championship Game , and earned a berth in Super Bowl IV ; however , the heavily favored Vikings lost that game to the Kansas City Chiefs , 23 -- 7 . The team MVP that season was Joe Kapp , who threw for seven touchdowns against the Baltimore Colts -- still an all - time NFL record ; however , Kapp refused to accept the award , stating , `` There is not one most valuable Viking ... there are 40 most valuable Vikings ! '' 1970s ( edit ) The team continued to dominate in 1970 and 1971 , reaching the playoffs behind the stubborn `` Purple People Eaters '' defensive line . In 1971 , Alan Page won the NFL Most Valuable Player Award given by the Associated Press . He was the first defensive player to win the award . Hall of Fame defensive end Carl Eller , a member of the `` Purple People Eaters '' . On January 27 , 1972 , the Vikings traded Norm Snead , Bob Grim , Vince Clements and first - round draft picks in 1972 and 1973 to the New York Giants to reacquire the popular Fran Tarkenton . While the acquisitions of Tarkenton and wide receiver John Gilliam improved the passing attack , the running game was inconsistent and the Vikings finished with a disappointing 7 -- 7 record . The Vikings addressed the problem by drafting running back Chuck Foreman with their first pick in the 1973 Draft . Co-owner Bill Boyer died on February 19 , 1973 and was replaced on the team 's board of directors by his son - in - law Jack Steele . The Vikings won their first nine games of 1973 and finished the season with a 12 -- 2 record . They then advanced to their second Super Bowl in franchise history , Super Bowl VIII , against the Miami Dolphins at Rice Stadium in Houston , Texas ; however , the Dolphins prevailed , 24 -- 7 . The Vikings won the Central Division again in 1974 with a 10 -- 4 record . In the playoffs they built on their cold weather reputation , defeating both the St. Louis Cardinals 30 -- 14 and the Los Angeles Rams 14 -- 10 in frozen Metropolitan Stadium . The Vikings played in their second straight Super Bowl , Super Bowl IX ( 3rd overall ) , losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers , 16 -- 6 , at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans on January 12 , 1975 . Led by Tarkenton and running back Chuck Foreman , the 1975 Vikings got off to a 10 -- 0 start and easily won another division title . However , the Vikings lost to the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs , 17 -- 14 , on a controversial touchdown pass from the Cowboys ' quarterback Roger Staubach to wide receiver Drew Pearson that became known as the Hail Mary . The touchdown was controversial because many felt that Pearson pushed off on Vikings defensive back Nate Wright , committing pass interference . As the Metropolitan Stadium crowd was stunned to learn that no penalty was called , debris was thrown on the field for several minutes . A Corby 's Whiskey bottle struck game official Armen Terzian , rendering him unconscious . The Vikings played in Super Bowl XI , their third Super Bowl ( fourth overall ) in four years , against the Oakland Raiders at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena , California , on January 9 , 1977 . The Vikings , however , lost 32 -- 14 . In 1977 , the Vikings again won the Central Division with a 9 -- 5 record and advanced to their 4th NFC Championship Game in 5 years , but were defeated by the eventual Super Bowl Champion Cowboys , 23 -- 6 , at Texas Stadium . By 1978 , age was taking its toll on the Vikings , but they still made the playoffs with an 8 -- 7 -- 1 record . There was no more playoff magic as the Rams finally defeated the Vikings , 34 -- 10 in Los Angeles after having lost in their previous four playoff matchups ( in 1969 , ' 74 , ' 76 and ' 77 ) . Quarterback Fran Tarkenton retired following the season holding league passer records in attempts ( 6,467 ) , completions ( 3,686 ) , yards ( 47,003 ) , and touchdowns ( 342 ) . In December 1979 , ground was broken for construction of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis . 1980s ( edit ) On May 15 , 1981 , the Vikings moved into a new facility in suburban Eden Prairie that houses the team 's offices , locker room and practice fields . The complex was named `` Winter Park '' after Max Winter , one of the Vikings ' founders , who served as the team 's president from 1965 to 1987 . The Vikings played their final game at Metropolitan Stadium on December 20 to conclude the 1981 NFL season by losing to the Kansas City Chiefs , 10 -- 6 . `` Two - minute '' Tommy Kramer ( 1977 -- 1989 ) The Vikings played their first game at the Metrodome in a preseason matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on August 21 , 1982 in a game Minnesota won , 7 -- 3 . The first touchdown in the new facility was scored by Joe Senser on an 11 - yard pass from Tommy Kramer . The first regular - season game in the Metrodome was the 1982 opener on September 12 , when the Vikings defeated Tampa Bay , 17 -- 10 . Rickey Young scored the first regular - season touchdown in the facility on a 3 - yard run in the 2nd quarter . That year the defense led by Joey Browner began a dominant 10 - year run as a premier NFL defense . The Vikings beat the St. Louis Cardinals 28 - 10 on August 6 , 1983 at Wembley Stadium in London in the very first international game in the NFL . On January 27 , 1984 , Bud Grant retired as head coach of the Vikings . With a career regular - season record of 151 -- 87 -- 5 (. 632 ) in 17 seasons with Minnesota , Grant led the franchise to 12 playoff appearances , 11 division titles , and four Super Bowls . Les Steckel , who was an offensive assistant with the Vikings for 5 seasons , was then named the 3rd head coach in franchise history . Steckel , who came to the Vikings in 1979 after working as an assistant with the 49ers , was the youngest head coach in the NFL in 1984 at age 38 . However , the Vikings lost a franchise - worst 13 games . After the season Steckel was fired , and on December 18 , 1984 , Bud Grant came out of retirement and was rehired as the head coach of the Vikings . On January 6 , 1986 , following the 1985 season , Bud Grant re-retired , this time permanently , as head coach of the Vikings . At the time of his retirement he was the 6th winningest coach in NFL history with 168 career wins , including playoffs . In 18 seasons , he led the Vikings to a 158 -- 96 -- 5 regular season record . Longtime Vikings assistant coach Jerry Burns was named the fourth head coach in team history on January 7 , 1986 . He served as the Vikings ' offensive coordinator from 1968 to 1985 , when the team won 11 division titles and played in four Super Bowls . In his first season , the Vikings , led by the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Tommy Kramer , went 9 -- 7 , their first winning record in four years . On August 2 , 1986 , Fran Tarkenton was the first player who played the majority of his career with the Vikings to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame . Following the strike - shortened 1987 season , the 8 -- 7 Vikings , who had finished 8 -- 4 in regular games but 0 -- 3 using strike - replacement players , pulled two upsets in the playoffs . They defeated the 12 -- 3 New Orleans Saints 44 -- 10 at the Louisiana Superdome in the Wild Card game . The following week , in the Divisional Playoff game , they beat the 13 -- 2 San Francisco 49ers 36 -- 24 at Candlestick Park . During that game , Anthony Carter set the all - time record for most receiving yards in a playoff game with 227 yards . The Vikings played the Washington Redskins in the NFC Championship Game on January 17 , 1988 , at RFK Stadium . Trailing 17 -- 10 , the Vikings drove to the Redskins ' 6 - yard line with a little over a minute left in the game , but failed to get the ball into the end zone . The Vikings ' hopes of a Super Bowl ended when Darrin Nelson dropped a pass from Wade Wilson on fourth down at the goal line . On October 12 , 1989 , the Vikings acquired Herschel Walker from Dallas . The final result of the trade gave the Vikings Walker , third - round choice Mike Jones , fifth - round choice Reggie Thornton and 10th - round choice Pat Newman in 1990 and a third - round choice Jake Reed in 1991 . Dallas received Issiac Holt , David Howard , Darrin Nelson , Jesse Solomon , Alex Stewart , a first - , second - and a sixth - round choice in 1990 , first - and second - round choices in 1991 and a first - , second - and third - round choice in 1992 . Two of those selections turned into Emmitt Smith and Darren Woodson . Walker 's performance fell short of expectations in his three seasons with the Vikings , while the Cowboys rode their draft picks to three Super Bowl victories in the early - to - mid-1990s . 1990s ( edit ) Cris Carter 's Hall of Fame display . Carter was a Viking from 1990 -- 2001 . On December 3 , 1991 , Jerry Burns announced his retirement effective at the end of the 1991 season . In six seasons as Head Coach of the Vikings , Burns compiled a career record of 52 -- 43 (. 547 ) . He also led Minnesota to three playoff appearances , including a division title and an NFC Championship Game . Dennis Green was later named the fifth head coach in team history , after turning around a struggling Stanford University football program as head coach from 1989 to 1991 . In his 10 seasons as the coach of the Vikings , Green won four NFC Central division titles , had eight playoff appearances , two NFC Championship Game appearances and an all - time record of 97 -- 62 . The Vikings therefore had the fifth highest winning percentage among all NFL teams during the regular season in the 1990s . 1998 ( edit ) Main article : 1998 Minnesota Vikings season 1998 was a year to remember for the franchise . With a spectacular offense led by quarterback Randall Cunningham ( who replaced an injured Brad Johnson ) , running back Robert Smith , veteran wide receiver Cris Carter , and explosive rookie Randy Moss , the Vikings set a then - NFL record by scoring a total of 556 points , never scoring fewer than 24 in a game . The Vikings finished the season 15 -- 1 , their only loss was to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27 -- 24 in Week 9 . In the playoffs , the Vikings rolled past the Arizona Cardinals 41 -- 21 , and came into the Metrodome heavily favored for their NFC title showdown with the Atlanta Falcons , who had gone 14 -- 2 in the regular season . After kicker Gary Anderson , who had just completed the first perfect regular season in NFL history ( not missing a single extra point or field goal attempt the entire year ) , missed a 38 - yard field goal attempt with just over 2 minutes remaining , the Falcons ' ensuing drive tied the game . This led to a controversial decision by head coach Dennis Green to run out the clock and let the game go to overtime . Though the Vikings won the coin toss , Atlanta went on to win it 30 -- 27 in overtime on Morten Andersen 's 38 - yard field goal . The Vikings became the first 15 -- 1 team to fail to reach the Super Bowl . The Falcons lost Super Bowl XXXIII to John Elway and the Denver Broncos . 1999 ( edit ) Randy Moss ( 1998 -- 2004 and 2010 ) Main article : 1999 Minnesota Vikings season Cunningham resumed duties again in 1999 , but after a lukewarm 2 -- 4 start , Jeff George replaced him as starting quarterback . He finished the season with an 8 -- 2 record , and led the Vikings into the postseason once again , with an overall team record of 10 -- 6 . Minnesota beat Dallas in the Wild Card game 27 -- 10 , and faced playoff newcomer Kurt Warner and the St. Louis Rams in the Divisional matchup . The game was a shootout that Minnesota led 17 -- 14 at halftime , but the Rams outscored Minnesota 35 -- 20 in the second half to win 49 -- 37 . St. Louis would go on to win Super Bowl XXXIV . 2000s ( edit ) The Vikings entered the decade by winning the divisional championship and an appearance in the NFC Championship game , where they were defeated 41 - 0 by the New York Giants . The following season , they struggled by posting a 5 -- 11 record in 2001 . The team would make the playoffs again in 2004 , but would not win a divisional title again until 2008 . Since the merger , the 2000s became the decade with the fewest playoff berths for the franchise . 2000 ( edit ) Main article : 2000 Minnesota Vikings season In 2000 , the Vikings went 11 -- 5 . The Vikings were 11 -- 2 after 14 weeks , but slumped briefly , losing their last three to the Rams , Packers and Colts while starting quarterback Daunte Culpepper was hampered by injury . Nonetheless , the Vikings made the playoffs for the fifth straight year . After easily beating the Saints in the Divisional game 34 -- 16 , they traveled to New York City to face the Giants in the NFC Championship Game . Though they were the road team , the Vikings were favored to win the game ( since most considered their 11 -- 2 record with Culpepper more indicative than their 0 -- 3 record when he was out ) ; instead , the Vikings were defeated 41 -- 0 , their worst defeat in playoff history . Robert Smith , who ran for 1,521 yards that season , retired at the end of the year after only playing eight NFL seasons . 2001 -- 2005 ( edit ) In 2001 , after a disappointing 5 -- 11 season , the Vikings bought out the contract of Dennis Green , despite his successful coaching tenure with the team . Mike Tice coached the final game of 2001 , losing to the Ravens 19 -- 3 . Tice was named the permanent coach after the season , but he would not lead the Vikings back to the playoffs until 2004 . During the 2003 season , the Vikings came close to getting into the playoffs . However , the Arizona Cardinals completed a game - winning touchdown on 4th - and - 28 with 0 : 00 left , knocking the Vikings out of the playoffs . The moment of Arizona 's touchdown was actually the first moment the entire season in which the Vikings had n't led their division . The Vikings became the second team in football history to miss the playoffs after getting off to a 6 -- 0 start , following the 1978 Washington Redskins . In 2004 , Daunte Culpepper amassed MVP - like statistics , throwing for 4,717 passing yards ( leading the NFL ) , 39 passing touchdowns ( a Viking record ) , and 5,123 total yards ( an NFL record ) . In the wild card game , the Vikings defeated the rival Green Bay Packers in their first - ever playoff meeting , 31 -- 17 . In doing so , the Vikings became the second team in NFL history to have a . 500 record ( 8 -- 8 ) in the regular season and win a playoff game ( The St. Louis Rams did the same thing only a day earlier ) . In the divisional round , the Vikings were defeated by the eventual NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles . On March 2 , 2005 , Vikings wide receiver Randy Moss was traded to the Oakland Raiders for linebacker Napoleon Harris and the Raiders ' first round draft pick . After struggling to a disappointing 2 -- 5 start to the 2005 season , Vikings lost quarterback Daunte Culpepper to a season - ending knee injury . This injury was a very significant part to this Minnesota Vikings team due to the fact they also lost Moss . The dynamic duo from years earlier were now gone and a new leader would eventually emerge . The Vikings finished the 2005 season with a 9 -- 7 record . However , this season would be more notable for off - the - field events . In October , 17 team members were part of a party of about 90 that went out on a pleasure cruise on local Lake Minnetonka . The incident erupted into scandal when media reported that a number of the players had performed sex acts and that prostitutes had been flown in . Four players were ultimately charged with misdemeanors related to the party . Mike Tice was let go after the 2005 season and was replaced by Brad Childress . This was one of many significant front office moves made by the new ownership team , led by Zygi Wilf . 2006 -- 2008 ( edit ) All - Pro running back Adrian Peterson was selected 7th overall by the Vikings in the 2007 NFL Draft . Minnesota began the 2006 season 4 -- 2 ( with Childress becoming the first Vikings coach to start his career 2 -- 0 ) , but would finish the year at 6 -- 10 , receiving the 7th pick in the NFL Draft ; with it , the Vikings selected Adrian Peterson out of the University of Oklahoma . Peterson 's first career touchdown was a 60 - yard screen pass against the Atlanta Falcons in his first career game . When the Vikings played the Chicago Bears in Week 6 , Peterson broke the record for single game All - Purpose ( rushing , receiving , kick returning ) yards ( 361 total yards , 224 rushing ) . In Week 9 , Peterson broke the NFL single game rushing record set by Jamal Lewis in 2003 by rushing for 296 yards against the San Diego Chargers . Despite a strong push in the middle of the season , winning five straight games , the Vikings lost their final two games to finish the season at 8 -- 8 and missed the playoffs . In Week 13 of the 2008 season against the Bears , Gus Frerotte hooked up with Bernard Berrian and set the record for longest play in franchise history with a 99 - yard touchdown pass . In the 2009 season , Adrian Peterson led the NFL with 1760 rushing yards , breaking the franchise record . The Vikings clinched the NFC North championship for the first time after defeating the New York Giants 20 -- 19 in Week 17 , when kicker Ryan Longwell made the game - winning field goal . Peterson had 19 carries for 109 yards and added a touchdown during the game . On January 4 , 2009 , the Vikings hosted the Philadelphia Eagles for the Wild Card round , their first home playoff game in eight years . The Eagles led the Viking 16 -- 14 at halftime and , coming off a 44 -- 6 victory over the Dallas Cowboys , went on to defeat the Vikings 26 -- 14 . The Eagles would go on to defeat the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants in the Divisional round , only to lose to the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game . Since 2006 , the Vikings have been known especially for their strong run defense ( # 1 in the NFL in 2006 , 2007 , and 2008 ; they are the first NFL team to accomplish this since the AFL -- NFL merger in 1970 ) , anchored by the Williams Wall consisting of defensive tackle Kevin Williams and nose tackle Pat Williams ( no relation ) . With the addition of sack - leader Jared Allen in 2008 , the dominant front four began being called by several nicknames , including `` Thunder and Plunder '' and `` Shock and AWE '' ( an acronym of their surname initials ) . 2009 -- 2010 ( edit ) Brett Favre played for the Vikings in 2009 and 2010 . On August 18 , 2009 , after months of speculation and negotiations , twice - retired veteran quarterback Brett Favre , who until 2007 had played 16 years for division archrival Green Bay Packers , signed a two - year , $25 million deal with the Vikings . On October 5 , 2009 , the Vikings hosted the Green Bay Packers as Favre played his former team for the first time . With a 30 -- 23 victory on Monday Night Football , the Vikings moved to a 4 -- 0 record . Favre became the first quarterback in NFL history to defeat all 32 current teams as a starter . Over 21.8 million viewers tuned in to watch the game , beating the previous record for a cable television program set by a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys in 2008 ( 18.6 million viewers ) . The Vikings beat the New York Giants , 44 -- 7 , in Week 17 to help the team clinch the second seed in the conference and a first round - bye with an Eagles loss later that same day . The Vikings ended the regular season with a 12 -- 4 record , their best record since 2000 and the first 11 - plus win season since their record - setting 1998 campaign . The Vikings played the Dallas Cowboys in the divisional round on January 17 , 2010 , and won the game by a score of 34 -- 3 , advancing the Vikings to the NFC Championship game , the ninth in franchise history . This would also be the first NFC Championship game for the team since the 2000 season . Minnesota would travel to New Orleans the following week to face the top - seeded Saints in the first conference championship game held at the Superdome . Despite out - gaining the Saints on offense by nearly a twofold margin , the Vikings were severely hindered by five turnovers , including a Favre interception in the final minute of the fourth quarter in Saints territory . They were ousted in overtime , 31 -- 28 , as the Saints won the coin toss and kicked a 40 - yard field goal on the first possession of overtime . Minnesota Vikings 50th Anniversary logo : 2010 In the first week of the 2010 NFL regular season , the Vikings played the defending Super Bowl champions , the New Orleans Saints . The Vikings lost 14 -- 9 . In Week 2 , the Vikings played the Miami Dolphins and lost 14 -- 10 . The Vikings defeated the Detroit Lions 24 -- 10 in the third week of the season . After a week four bye - week , the Vikings received star wide receiver Randy Moss in a trade with the New England Patriots . Even with the addition of Moss , the Vikings lost to the New York Jets 29 -- 20 in Week 5 . The Vikings won a crucial victory against another struggling team in the form of the Dallas Cowboys 24 -- 21 , but in Week 7 the Vikings lost to the arch - rival Green Bay Packers 28 -- 24 . In Week 9 , the Vikings played the Arizona Cardinals at home and won 27 -- 24 in overtime , coming back from a 24 -- 10 deficit in the final four minutes of regulation . Favre threw for a career - high 446 passing yards . The Vikings then went on to face the Chicago Bears , but were defeated , and then went on to be blown out 31 -- 3 at home by the Packers the following game . Head coach Brad Childress was fired the following Monday . With Leslie Frazier filling in for the fired Childress , the Vikings won two games in a row . One against the Washington Redskins on the road , and a blowout win over the Buffalo Bills at home . Jared Allen played for the Vikings from 2008 to 2013 . After a winter storm dropped nearly 17 inches of snow in the Minneapolis / St Paul area the Saturday before the Vikings December 12 home game versus the New York Giants and 30 mph gusts drove snow removers off the dome 's roof overnight , several panels were damaged as the weight of the snow caused the roof to collapse . After viewing the damage , Vikings management and the NFL decided to move the game to Monday and play it at Ford Field in Detroit , Michigan . Because of on - going repairs to the roof of the Metrodome , the Vikings played their December 20 game versus the Chicago Bears at TCF Bank Stadium . Favre threw the final touchdown pass of his career ( to Percy Harvin ) in this game . The game was played 29 years to the day after the last outdoor game at old Met Stadium . On December 26 , the NFL announced that the game versus the Philadelphia Eagles was being postponed to Tuesday , December 28 , 2010 because of blizzard conditions . This marks the third consecutive venue or date change for a Vikings game and was the first NFL game played on a Tuesday since 1964 . The Vikings proceeded to upset the dynamic Eagles offense , led by a resurgent Michael Vick , 24 -- 14 with rookie Joe Webb at the helm . The Vikings finished the season 6 -- 10 with a 20 -- 13 loss against the Detroit Lions . 2011 -- 2013 ( edit ) The 2010 -- 11 season was a step down for the Minnesota Vikings . After coming within a few plays of Super Bowl XLIV , Minnesota ended the 2010 season with a 6 -- 10 record and a last place finish in the NFC North for the first time since 1990 . During the season , the Vikings had many distractions , including trading for Randy Moss and then waiving him only a month later , Brett Favre 's NFL investigation for allegedly sending inappropriate text messages to Jets ' employee Jenn Sterger while he was with the team in 2008 , the Metrodome 's collapse and resulting venue changes , and finally head coach Brad Childress ' firing on November 22 following a 31 -- 3 loss at the hands of the rival Green Bay Packers . After serving as the interim head coach for the final six games of the season ( finishing with a 3 -- 3 record ) , defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier was officially named the head coach on January 3 , 2011 , after signing a three - year contract . On January 17 , Brett Favre retired for the third , and officially last , time , leaving the team in search for a long term replacement at the quarterback position . Wasting no time after being appointed head coach , Frazier began to restructure the team 's coaching staff , including letting go of offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and hiring Mike Singletary as linebackers coach and Bill Musgrave as the new offensive coordinator . Their first round draft pick was Christian Ponder , a quarterback from Florida State University . The team finished with a 3 -- 13 record , tied with the 1984 Vikings for the second worst record in franchise history . In 2012 , Adrian Peterson rushed for 2,097 yards -- 8 less than Eric Dickerson 's single - season record . During the 2012 NFL Draft , the team selected USC lineman Matt Kalil with the 4th overall pick after a trade with the Cleveland Browns , and Notre Dame safety Harrison Smith in the first round . Both players were instrumental in helping the Vikings reach the playoffs for the 27th time in franchise history , as was fellow draftee , sixth - round selection Blair Walsh . After beating the Packers in the final game of 2012 to reach the playoffs as the NFC 's sixth seed , the Vikings lost 24 -- 10 to the Packers in the rematch at Lambeau Field in the Wild Card round . The team was forced to play backup Joe Webb during the game after Ponder was sidelined due to an arm injury sustained from the previous week . Peterson was later named the league 's MVP , after rushing for 2,097 yards , the second most rushing yards in a season in NFL history . In the 2013 season , the Vikings finished with five wins , ten losses , and one tie , with no road wins . Notable moments include acquired free agent Matt Cassel outplaying Christian Ponder at the quarterback position and the defense allowing a league - worst 480 points , coming within four points of matching the franchise 's worst set in 1984 . This was also the last season played at the Metrodome as a new stadium deal was reached . Leslie Frazier was fired after the regular season ended . 2014 -- present ( edit ) The Vikings moved to U.S. Bank Stadium in 2016 The team hired former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer to replace Leslie Frazier as head coach on January 16 , 2014 . Former Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner replaced Bill Musgrave , and George Edwards replaced Alan Williams as defensive coordinator . In the 2014 NFL Draft , the Vikings selected Anthony Barr , a linebacker out of UCLA , and Teddy Bridgewater , a quarterback out of the University of Louisville . Bridgewater would later lose the starting job to Matt Cassel only to become the starter for the Vikings when Cassel was lost to a season - ending foot injury in week 3 . Star running back Adrian Peterson only played in one regular season game due to his ongoing child abuse trial , with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell placing Peterson on the Commissioner 's Exempt List indefinitely . On April 16 , 2015 , the league released a statement issuing Peterson 's reinstatement to occur on April 17 , 2015 . The Vikings concluded their season with seven wins and nine losses , winning only one game against a divisional opponent , although Bridgewater set a franchise record for wins by a rookie starting quarterback . On January 3 , 2016 , the Vikings beat divisional rival Green Bay 20 -- 13 to win the NFC North for the first time since 2009 . The Vikings , led by their top 5 defense , ended the 2015 season with an 11 -- 5 record , and a # 3 seed in the playoffs . However , they lost to the Seattle Seahawks 10 -- 9 after Blair Walsh missed a 27 - yard field goal in the third coldest game in NFL playoff history . The Vikings were responsible for a historic milestone in the late rounds of the 2016 NFL draft . Their sixth - round selection , German wide receiver Moritz Böhringer , was the first European player ever to be drafted by an NFL team without having previously played at any level in North America . After Teddy Bridgewater went down with a knee injury in the preseason of 2016 , the Vikings traded their 2017 first round pick and a conditional fourth round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for quarterback Sam Bradford , who threw for 20 touchdowns , 5 interceptions , 3,877 yards , and led the Vikings to an 8 - 8 season . Following the knee injury , the Vikings declined to pick up the 5th year option for Teddy Bridgewater . Running back Adrian Peterson went down to injury in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers with a torn meniscus and was placed on the Injured Reserve until Week 15 . On February 28 , 2017 , the Vikings announced they would not exercise Peterson 's 2017 contract option which made him a free agent . Had they exercised the option , Peterson would be owed $18 million for the 2017 season . On April 25 , 2017 , the New Orleans Saints signed Peterson to a 2 - year , $7 million contract , ending his tenure with the Vikings since his debut in 2007 as a rookie . He holds several Vikings records including most career rushing touchdowns , career rushing yards , and most rushing yards in a season . In the summer of 2017 , the Vikings ownership announced they would end the 52 year annual tradition of summer training camp in Mankato , Minnesota at Minnesota State University , Mankato as they built a large new headquarters , training facility and area property development in Eagan , Minnesota on the site of the former Northwest Airlines offices to be completed in the spring of 2018 in time for the 2018 summer training camp . The Minneapolis Miracle was the final play of the 2017 / 18 Divisional Round game against the New Oreans Saints . The Vikings were trailing by one point and needed a touchdown to secure a trip to the NFC Chamionship Game . With less than ten seconds remaining in the game quarterback Case Keenum lobbed the ball to wide receiver Stefon Diggs , which became the game winning touchdown . This also happens to be the very first walk - off victory in NFL playoff history . On KFAN 100.3 , radio announcer , Paul Allen dubbed the play the ' Minneapolis Miraracle ' . Logo and uniforms ( edit ) The Vikings ' trademark horned helmet and purple - and - gold uniforms were designed by Los Angeles Examiner cartoonist Karl Hubenthal . Bert Rose and Norm Van Brocklin both knew Hubenthal from their days with the Los Angeles Rams organization . Hubenthal also designed the original Norseman logo . From the team 's debut in 1961 to 1995 , the Vikings ' logos and uniforms essentially remained the same . Reflecting Minnesota 's Scandinavian cultural heritage , one of the team 's two primary logos consists of a profile of a blond norseman , while the other consists of a white Viking horn . Minnesota Vikings wordmark ( 1982 -- 2003 ) The team 's helmet is purple with a Viking horn logo on each side . Each horn is outlined in gold . The horn logo was slightly revised in 2006 . The original uniform design consisted of white pants , gold trim , and either purple or white jerseys . From 1962 to 1964 , the Vikings wore purple pants with their white jerseys ( The Vikings , with their new uniform , still wear , on occasion , purple pants with yellow and white trim ) . In a design that was unique among American football teams , the white jerseys had a completely different stripe pattern , which was over the shoulders , than the purple ones , which was around the sleeve cuff . These unique shoulder stripes on the white jerseys did not appear until 1969 , the year they went to their first Super Bowl . There have also been minor changes to the uniform design throughout the years , such as changing the color of the facemask from gray to white ( 1980 ) , and then to purple ( 1985 ) ; and adding the Norseman logo to the sleeves ( 1996 ) . The Vikings continued to wear black shoes until Les Steckel became head coach in 1984 . In 2006 , the team returned to black shoes for first time since the 1983 season . The Vikings tweaked their Norseman logo , which involved updating the shading , altering the shape and base of the horns , thickening the mustache and face , making the gold tones brighter , and shortening the braid . The new logo was unveiled on February 14 , 2013 . On March 28 , the team reported that new uniforms will be unveiled on April 25 . On April 25 , 2013 , the Minnesota Vikings unveiled the club 's new uniforms during its annual NFL Draft party . From 1969 through 1973 , the Vikings had an alternate purple jersey without stripes for warm - weather games . The team 's uniforms were redesigned in 2006 , the first significant change in the franchise 's 46 - year history . Although the team colors remained the same , trim lines were added to the outside shoulders and sleeves , and the sides of the jerseys and pants . In addition the horn on the helmet was slightly more defined . Included in the new design are both white and purple pants , the purple pants have not been regularly used since 2007 , but resurfaced twice in 2010 . The team wore black armbands for the last four games in 1978 in memory of Jack `` Jocko '' Nelson , an assistant coach who died during the season . In 1985 the team wore a 25 years patch on their jerseys . In 1989 , they wore a `` 40 for 60 '' patch honoring the 1969 NFL championship team . They wore a 35 years patch in 1995 , 40 years in 2000 and 45 years in 2005 . They also wore patches in 1999 for assistant coach Chip Myers who died in the offseason and in 2001 for Korey Stringer . The Vikings , like other teams , wore NFL 50th and 75th anniversary patches in 1969 and 1994 . All purple uniforms ( edit ) In the 1960s the Vikings wore purple pants with road white jerseys . On October 11 , 1964 the Vikings played the Detroit Lions at Metropolitan Stadium and the Lions mistakenly only brought their white jerseys to Minnesota . Both teams started the game in white , but by the second quarter the Vikings were able to obtain their purple tops . The Vikings changed jerseys on the sidelines during the 2nd quarter , finishing the game in purple jerseys and purple pants . It was n't until 43 years later , on December 17 , 2007 ( a Monday Night Football game versus the Chicago Bears ) that the Vikings again donned both purple jerseys and purple pants -- the first time the Vikings wore all - purple intentionally . Three years later , the Vikings played the November 7 , 2010 home game against the Arizona Cardinals in the all - purple uniform . The NFL added new Color Rush uniforms for all 32 teams during the 2016 - 17 season , specifically for Thursday Night Football games . The Vikings showed off an all purple look with gold numbers and stripes on the pants , debuting their own Color Rush uniform on December 1 versus the Dallas Cowboys at U.S. Bank Stadium . Mascots ( edit ) Current mascot ( edit ) After several failed attempts at developing an official team - owned mascot , the Vikings finally introduced Viktor the Viking during the 2007 Vikings ' season . Team officials had long indicated that they were after a mascot concept that would primarily appeal to the team 's younger fan base . Viktor the Viking , a muscle - bound , blond - haired and mustachioed character , wears a Vikings ' # 1 jersey and an oversized Vikings helmet with protruding horns and a small yellow nose guard . Historic mascots ( edit ) From 1970 to 1992 , Hub Meeds dressed as a Viking and served as the team mascot . Meeds asked to become the mascot after being accidentally let onto the field by security during Super Bowl IV . From 1994 to 2015 , the team mascot was Ragnar ( played by Joseph Juranitch ) and was based on the legendary Viking Ragnar Lodbrok . Juranitch admits to being somewhat of an eccentric -- he holds the current world record for fastest time shaving a beard with an axe , but has n't shaved his beard since he won the Ragnar job among 3,000 applicants . Ragnar drove onto the field at the beginning of a game dressed in Viking garb , on a motorcycle , while a cheerleader used to ride a snowmobile . Although never one to shy away from confrontations with opposing players , notably Chad `` Ochocinco '' Johnson , he had a soft spot for Brett Favre while the quarterback started for the rival Green Bay Packers . In 2015 , the Vikings announced that they were not able to reach a new contract agreement with Juranitch which he wanted $20,000 per game , and released him . Another mascot associated with the Vikings was `` Vikadontis Rex '' , a purple foam dinosaur . Vikadontis was the official mascot of the Minnesota Vikings Children 's Fund and took part in the 1995 Celebrity Mascot Olympics . Vikadontis was retired starting with the 2000 season . The team also had an NFL Huddles mascot in the mid-1980s , ( somewhat similar to Viktor the Viking ) . Krazy George was also employed as a cheerleader from 1982 to 1985 . Traditions ( edit ) Fight song ( edit ) Further information : Skol , Vikings `` Skol , Vikings '' is the fight song of the Minnesota Vikings . It was introduced around the time the team was founded in 1961 . It is always played whenever the team scores a touchdown , field goal or safety , and at the end of each half . The song `` Purple and Gold '' was recorded in 2010 by Prince to be used as a fight song for the Minnesota Vikings . Rivals ( edit ) Due to geographic and cultural proximity , the Vikings ' foremost rival is the Green Bay Packers . Some sources cite this rivalry as the biggest overall in the NFC North apart from the Packers - Bears rivalry ( which dates back several more decades , i.e. to 1920 ) . Chicago Bears ( edit ) Further information : Bears -- Vikings rivalry Detroit Lions ( edit ) Further information : Lions -- Vikings rivalry Green Bay Packers ( edit ) Further information : Packers -- Vikings rivalry Helga hats ( edit ) Vikings fans are known to dress up in `` Helga hats '' , purple hats with white horns and blonde braids , mimicking the helmets popularly believed to have been worn by Viking warriors . The original Helga Hats are still hand assembled in the Twin Cities area . Vikings horn ( edit ) During home games , the Vikings ' Gjallarhorn is loudly played and sounds often after the team has made a big play , gets a first down , or scores a touchdown . The team often also uses the horn during its pre-game ceremonies . In addition , a flash cannon fires upon Vikings touchdowns .

FM ( 100.3 ) , which uses the branding `` KFAN '' based on its former calls on 1130 AM before a format flip between the AM and FM stations before the 2011 season ; 1130 AM also continues to broadcast game play - by - play as KTLK . The games are also heard on the `` KFAN Radio Network '' in Minnesota , Wisconsin , Iowa , South Dakota , and North Dakota , as well as many other outlets . Paul Allen has been the play - by - play announcer since the 2002 NFL season with Pete Bercich filling in as analyst , who began his first season in 2007 . Telecasts of preseason games not shown on national networks are aired on KMSP ( Channel 9 ) in the Twin Cities with a simulcast of KFAN 's radio broadcast while Fox Sports North shows a tape delay later .

The new rules state that unless the first possession of overtime ends in a touchdown or safety , both teams must have the opportunity to possess the ball . Under the new rules , the Vikings would have had an opportunity to possess the ball after the Saints kicked a field goal on the overtime 's first possession in the NFC Championship ) .

Voting Rights History Drafting and ratification timeline Convention Signing Federalism Republicanism Full text of the Constitution and Amendments Preamble and Articles I -- VII Amendments I -- X Amendments XI -- XXVII Unratified Amendments United States portal U.S. Government portal Law portal Wikipedia book The Tenth Amendment ( Amendment X ) to the United States Constitution , which is part of the Bill of Rights , was ratified on December 15 , 1791 . It expresses the principle of federalism and states ' rights , which strictly supports the entire plan of the original Constitution for the United States of America , by stating that the federal government possesses only those powers delegated to it by the United States Constitution . All remaining powers are reserved for the states or the people . The amendment was proposed by Congress in 1789 during its first term following the Constitutional Convention and ratification of the Constitution . It was considered by many members as a prerequisite of such ratification particularly to satisfy demands Anti-Federalists who opposed the creation of a stronger federal government . The drafters of this amendment had two purposes in mind : first , as a necessary rule of construction ; and second , as a reaffirmation of the nature of federalism . Contents ( hide ) 1 Text 2 Drafting and adoption 3 Judicial interpretation 3.1 Commandeering 3.2 Commerce Clause 3.3 Supremacy Clause 3.4 Federal funding 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Text ( edit ) The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution , nor prohibited by it to the States , are reserved to the States respectively , or to the people . The Bill of Rights in the National Archives The hand - written copy of the proposed Bill of Rights , 1789 , cropped to just show the text that would later be ratified as the Tenth Amendment Drafting and adoption ( edit ) The Tenth Amendment is similar to an earlier provision of the Articles of Confederation : Each state retains its sovereignty , freedom , and independence , and every power , jurisdiction , and right , which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States , in Congress assembled . After the Constitution was ratified , South Carolina Representative Thomas Tudor Tucker and Massachusetts Representative Elbridge Gerry separately proposed similar amendments limiting the federal government to powers `` expressly '' delegated , which would have denied implied powers . James Madison opposed the amendments , stating that `` it was impossible to confine a Government to the exercise of express powers ; there must necessarily be admitted powers by implication , unless the Constitution descended to recount every minutia . '' When a vote on this version of the amendment with `` expressly delegated '' was defeated , Connecticut Representative Roger Sherman drafted the Tenth Amendment in its ratified form , omitting `` expressly . '' Sherman 's language allowed for an expansive reading of the powers implied by the Necessary and Proper Clause . When he introduced the Tenth Amendment in Congress , James Madison explained that many states were eager to ratify this amendment , despite critics who deemed the amendment superfluous or unnecessary : I find , from looking into the amendments proposed by the State conventions , that several are particularly anxious that it should be declared in the Constitution , that the powers not therein delegated should be reserved to the several States . Perhaps words which may define this more precisely than the whole of the instrument now does , may be considered as superfluous . I admit they may be deemed unnecessary : but there can be no harm in making such a declaration , if gentlemen will allow that the fact is as stated . I am sure I understand it so , and do therefore propose it . The states ratified the Tenth Amendment , declining to signal that there are unenumerated powers in addition to unenumerated rights . The amendment rendered unambiguous what had previously been at most a mere suggestion or implication . The phrase `` ... , or to the people . '' was appended in handwriting by the clerk of the Senate as the Bill of Rights circulated between the two Houses of Congress . Judicial interpretation ( edit ) The Tenth Amendment , which makes explicit the idea that the federal government is limited to only the powers granted in the Constitution , has been declared to be a truism by the Supreme Court . In United States v. Sprague ( 1931 ) the Supreme Court asserted that the amendment `` added nothing to the ( Constitution ) as originally ratified . '' States and local governments have occasionally attempted to assert exemption from various federal regulations , especially in the areas of labor and environmental controls , using the Tenth Amendment as a basis for their claim . An often - repeated quote , from United States v. Darby Lumber Co. , reads as follows : The amendment states but a truism that all is retained which has not been surrendered . There is nothing in the history of its adoption to suggest that it was more than declaratory of the relationship between the national and state governments as it had been established by the Constitution before the amendment or that its purpose was other than to allay fears that the new national government might seek to exercise powers not granted , and that the states might not be able to exercise fully their reserved powers . In Garcia v. San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority ( 1985 ) , the Court overruled National League of Cities v. Usery ( 1976 ) . Under National League of Cities , the determination of whether there was state immunity from federal regulation turned on whether the state activity was `` traditional '' for or `` integral '' to the state government . The Court noted that this analysis was `` unsound in principle and unworkable in practice '' . The Court held that the framers believed that state sovereignty could be maintained by the political system established by the Constitution . Noting that the same Congress that extended the FLSA to cover government - run mass transit systems also provided substantial funding for those systems , the Court concluded that the structure created by the framers had indeed protected the states from overreaching by the federal government . In South Carolina v. Baker ( 1988 ) , the Court said in dicta that an exception to Garcia would be when a state lacked `` any right to participate '' in the federal political process or was left `` politically isolated and powerless '' by a federal law . Commandeering ( edit ) Since 1992 , the Supreme Court has declared laws unconstitutional for violating the Tenth Amendment when the federal government compelled the states to enforce federal statutes . In 1992 , in New York v. United States , the Supreme Court invalidated a portion of a federal law for violating the Tenth Amendment . The case challenged a portion of the Low - Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 . The act provided three incentives for states to comply with statutory obligations to provide for the disposal of low - level radioactive waste . The first two incentives were monetary . The third , which was challenged in the case , obliged states to take title to any waste within their borders that was not disposed of prior to January 1 , 1996 , and made each state liable for all damages directly related to the waste . The Court ruled that the imposition of that obligation on the states violated the Tenth Amendment . Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote that the federal government can encourage the states to adopt certain regulations through the spending power ( e.g. by attaching conditions to the receipt of federal funds , see South Dakota v. Dole , or through the commerce power ( by directly pre-empting state law ) . However , Congress can not directly compel states to enforce federal regulations . In 1997 , in Printz v. United States , the Court ruled that part of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act violated the Tenth Amendment . The act required state and local law enforcement officials to conduct background checks on people attempting to purchase handguns . Justice Antonin Scalia , writing for the majority , applied New York v. United States to show that the act violated the Tenth Amendment . Since the act `` forced participation of the State 's executive in the actual administration of a federal program '' , it was unconstitutional . In 2018 , in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association , the Supreme Court ruled that the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 , which prohibited states that banned sports betting when the law was enacted from legalizing it , violated the anti-commandeering doctrine and invalided the entire law . The Court ruled that the anti-commandeering doctrine applied to congressional attempts to prevent the states from taking a certain action as much as it applied in New York and Printz to Congress requiring states to enforce federal law . Commerce Clause ( edit ) In the 20th century , the Commerce Clause has become one of the most frequently - used sources of Congress 's power , and thus its interpretation is very important in determining the allowable scope of federal government . Complex economic challenges arising from the Great Depression triggered a reevaluation in both Congress and the Supreme Court of the use of Commerce Clause powers to maintain a strong national economy . In Wickard v. Filburn ( 1942 ) , in the context of World War II , the Court ruled that federal regulations of wheat production could constitutionally be applied to wheat grown for `` home consumption '' on a farm -- that is , wheat grown to be fed to farm animals or otherwise consumed on the farm . The rationale was that a farmer 's growing `` his own wheat '' can have a substantial cumulative effect on interstate commerce , because if all farmers were to exceed their production quotas , a significant amount of wheat would either not be sold on the market or would be bought from other producers . Hence , in the aggregate , if farmers were allowed to consume their own wheat , it would affect the interstate market in wheat . In United States v. Lopez ( 1995 ) , a federal law mandating a `` gun - free zone '' on and around public school campuses was struck down because , the Supreme Court ruled , there was no clause in the Constitution authorizing it . This was the first modern Supreme Court opinion to limit the government 's power under the Commerce Clause . The opinion did not mention the Tenth Amendment or the Court 's 1985 Garcia decision . Most recently , in Gonzales v. Raich ( 2005 ) , a California woman sued the Drug Enforcement Administration after her medical cannabis crop was seized and destroyed by federal agents . Medical cannabis was explicitly made legal under California state law by Proposition 215 , despite cannabis being prohibited at the federal level by the Controlled Substances Act . Even though the woman grew cannabis strictly for her own consumption and never sold any , the Supreme Court stated that growing one 's own cannabis affects the interstate market of cannabis . The theory was that the cannabis could enter the stream of interstate commerce , even if it clearly was n't grown for that purpose and that was unlikely ever to happen ( the same reasoning as in Wickard v. Filburn ) . It therefore ruled that this practice may be regulated by the federal government under the authority of the Commerce Clause . Supremacy Clause ( edit ) Cooper v. Aaron , a 1958 Supreme Court case that dealt with states ' rights and the Tenth Amendment , came about when conflicts arose in direct response to the ruling of another landmark case , Brown v. Board of Education . In 1954 , the Supreme Court unanimously decided on Brown v. Board of Education declaring racial segregation of children in public schools unconstitutional . Following Brown , the court ordered `` district courts and school boards to proceed with desegregation ' with all deliberate speed ' '' . In other words , the Court 's decision not only ruled segregation as an unconstitutional and illegal practice , but also prompted all public schools to open its doors to black students and provide access to facilities to white and black students equally . This ruling quickly spurred upsetting conflicts between those trying to enforce the ruling and those refusing to abide by it . Among those opposing the decision and all efforts of desegregation ordered by the Court was the Governor of Arkansas , Orval Faubus . In Little Rock , Arkansas , a group of nine black students known as the `` Little Rock Nine '' was to attend the previously all - white Central High School under the school board 's attempt to follow the order of Brown . However , the tension between the state legislature and the Governor versus the Supreme Court and the federal government became severe when Governor Faubus ordered the National Guard to prevent the nine black students from entering the high school and President Eisenhower responded by sending federal troops to escort them in . Because the Little Rock school board implementing the desegregation program fell under both the state and federal jurisdiction , it sought to alleviate itself from this distraught situation through legal means . Five months after the integration crisis happened , the school board filed suit in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Arkansas requesting a two and a half year delay in implementing desegregation . Although the district court granted the relief , the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reversed the district court 's decision on August 18 , 1958 , and stayed its mandate pending appeal to the supreme Court . By this time , the incident had evolved into a national issue : it had become a debate on not only racism and segregation but also states ' rights and the Tenth Amendment . The Court , citing first , the Supremacy Clause of Article VI declaring the Constitution as the supreme law of the land and second , the Marbury v. Madison decision asserting the Court as the supreme interpreter of the Constitution as evidence of their superior authority , reaffirmed the decision of Brown and held that the states must abide by the Court 's decisions despite their disagreement with them . Expectedly , many states ' right advocates and state officials criticized the ruling as an attack on the Tenth Amendment that reserves the states ' right to resist the implementation of federal law or the Federal Constitution . Moreover , they claimed the Court 's decision on Cooper as being inconsistent with the constitutional vision of the Framers . Federal funding ( edit ) The federal system limits the ability of the federal government to use state governments as an instrument of the national government , as held in Printz v. United States . For this reason , Congress often seeks to exercise its powers by offering or encouraging States to implement national programs consistent with national minimum standards ; a system known as cooperative federalism . One example of the exercise of this device was to condition allocation of federal funding where certain state laws do not conform to federal guidelines . For example , federal educational funds may not be accepted without implementation of special education programs in compliance with IDEA . Similarly , the nationwide state 55 mph ( 90 km / h ) speed limit , . 08 legal blood alcohol limit , and the nationwide state 21 - year drinking age were imposed through this method ; the states would lose highway funding if they refused to pass such laws ( though the national speed limit has since been repealed ) . In 2012 , in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius , the Court ruled that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ( commonly referred to as the ACA or Obamacare ) improperly coerced the states to expand Medicaid . The Court classified the ACA 's language as coercive because it effectively forced States to join the federal program by conditioning the continued provision of Medicaid funds on states agreeing to materially alter Medicaid eligibility to include all individuals who fell below 133 % of the poverty line .

It was released in March 1979 as the second single from the album The Two and Only . The song became their first number 1 hit on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart and their second number one overall , after their 1976 pop hit `` Let Your Love Flow '' .

'' derived its double entendre title from a Groucho Marx line . Songwriter David Bellamy told country music journalist Tom Roland that he regularly watched Marx 's program , You Bet Your Life , where Marx sometimes used the quote while interviewing an attractive female contestant , then shake his cigar and raise his eyebrows to elicit a reaction . The comment stuck in Bellamy 's head as a possible hook line for a song . The song earned its first success in Northern Ireland before becoming a hit in the United States . The song was also a minor hit on Top 40 stations , peaking at No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 . In a 2003 issue , Country Weekly magazine named it the number 1 country pick - up line of all time . Re-recording ( edit ) On their 2005 album Angels & Outlaws , Vol. 1 , The Bellamy Brothers re-recorded this song with Dolly Parton . This rendition peaked at number 60 on the country charts , giving the Bellamy Brothers their first chart entry since `` Not '' in 1994 . Britney Spears controversy ( edit ) In 2011 , the Brothers criticized pop singer Britney Spears 's song `` Hold It Against Me '' for sounding similar to `` If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me '' . In a statement , David Bellamy said `` professionally , well , in all honesty , we feel completely ripped off . Where 's the originality ? '' The Bellamy Brothers ' attorney Christopher E. Schmidt stated that `` ( it ) becomes somewhat uncanny if you simply double the beat of the Bellamy Brothers ' song and match it up with Britney 's version '' and pointed out that it was not the first time that songwriters Max Martin and Lukasz `` Dr. Luke '' Gottwald were accused of copyright infringement . On March 2 , 2011 , Max Martin , Dr. Luke , Bonnie McKee , and Mathieu `` Billboard '' Jomphe , all of whom wrote `` Hold It Against Me '' , filed a lawsuit against the Bellamy Brothers for defamation and libel because of the accusations , but the Brothers apologized and the case was dismissed on August 11 , 2011 . The Brothers released a statement that said , `` The Bellamy Brothers apologise to Dr. Luke and Max Martin for the Bellamys ' public statements and any false impressions suggested by the statements on their website that Dr. Luke and Max Martin copy the works of others .

The installation is located in Montgomery , Alabama , US . Occupying the site of the first Wright Flying School , it was named in honor of Second Lieutenant William C. Maxwell , a native of Atmore , Alabama . The base is the headquarters of Air University ( AU ) , a major component of Air Education and Training Command ( AETC ) , and is the U.S. Air Force 's center for Joint Professional Military Education ( PME ) . The host wing for Maxwell - Gunter is the 42d Air Base Wing ( 42 ABW ) . The Air Force Reserve Command 's 908th Airlift Wing ( 908 AW ) is a tenant unit and the only operational flying unit at Maxwell . The 908 AW and its subordinate 357th Airlift Squadron ( 357 AS ) operates eight C - 130H Hercules aircraft for theater airlift in support of combatant commanders worldwide . As an AFRC airlift unit , the 908th is operationally gained by the Air Mobility Command ( AMC ) . Gunter Annex is a separate installation under the 42 ABW . Originally known as Gunter Field , it later became known as Gunter Air Force Station ( Gunter AFS ) when its runways were closed and its operational flying activity eliminated . It was later renamed Gunter Air Force Base ( Gunter AFB ) during the 1980s . As a hedge against future Base Realignment and Closure ( BRAC ) closure actions , Gunter AFB was consolidated under Maxwell AFB in March 1992 to create a combined installation known as Maxwell / Gunter AFB . Maxwell AFB is also the site of Federal Prison Camp , Montgomery , a minimum security facility for male inmates . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Origins 1.2 Between the wars 1.3 World War II 1.4 Postwar / Cold War / present 2 Popular culture 3 See also 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) Origins ( edit ) Toward the end of February 1910 , the Wright Brothers decided to open one of the world 's earliest flying schools at the site that would subsequently become Maxwell AFB . The Wrights taught the principles of flying , including take - offs , balancing , turns , and landings . The Wright Flying School closed on May 26 , 1910 . The field served as a repair depot during World War I. In fact , the depot built the first plane made in Montgomery and exhibited it at the field on September 20 , 1918 . Repair activity at the depot was sharply curtailed at the end of the war . Between the wars ( edit ) Second Lieutenant William C. Maxwell , for whom the base is named . The Aviation Repair Depot 's land was leased by the U.S. Army during World War I , and later purchased on January 11 , 1920 for $34,327 . Diminished postwar activity caused the U.S. War Department in 1919 to announce that it planned to close thirty - two facilities around the country , including the Aviation Repair Depot . In 1919 , the Aviation Repair Depot had a $27,000 monthly civilian payroll , and was a vital part of the city 's economy . The loss of the field would have been a serious blow to the local Montgomery economy . The field remained open into the early 1920s only because the War Department was slow in closing facilities . After this initial reprieve , the War Department announced in 1922 that facilities on the original closure list would indeed close in the very near future . City officials were not surprised to hear that Aviation Repair Depot remained on the list , because 350 civilian employees had been laid off in June 1921 . On November 8 , 1922 , the War Department redesignated the depot as Maxwell Field in honor of Atmore , Alabama native , Second Lieutenant William C. Maxwell . On 12 August 1920 , engine trouble forced Lieutenant Maxwell to attempt to land his DH - 4 in a sugarcane field in the Philippines . Maneuvering to avoid a group of children playing below , he struck a flagpole hidden by the tall sugarcane and was killed instantly . On the recommendation of his former commanding officer , Major Roy C. Brown , the Montgomery Air Intermediate Depot , Montgomery , Alabama , was renamed Maxwell Field . In 1923 , it was one of three U.S. Army Air Service aviation depots . Maxwell Field repaired aircraft engines in support of flying training missions such as those at Taylor Field , southeast of Montgomery . Maxwell Field , as most Army air stations and depots developed during World War I , was on leased properties with temporary buildings being the mainstay of construction . These temporary buildings / shacks were built to last two to five years . By the mid-1920s , these dilapidated wartime buildings had become a national disgrace . Congressional investigations also showed that the manning strength of the U.S. Army 's air arm was seriously deficient . These critical situations eventually led to the Air Corps Act of 1926 and the two major programs that dramatically transformed Army airfields . The Air Corps Act changed the name and status of the Army Air Service to the U.S. Army Air Corps and authorized a five - year expansion program . In the late 1920s and early 1930s , this program and its companion , the 1926 Army Housing Program , produced well - designed , substantial , permanent buildings and infrastructure at all Army airfields retained after World War I . Taking up the cause of Maxwell Field was freshman Congressman J. Lister Hill , a World War I veteran who served with the 17th and 71st U.S. Infantry Regiments . He , as well as other Montgomery leaders , recognized the historical significance of the Wright Brother 's first military flying school and the potential of Maxwell Field to the local economy . In 1925 Hill , a member of the House Military Affairs Committee , affixed an amendment to a military appropriations bill providing $200,000 for the construction of permanent buildings at Maxwell Field . This amendment did not have the approval of the War Department nor the Army Air Corps , but as a result of this massive spending on Maxwell Field , the War Department kept it open . Hill recognized that to keep Maxwell Field open , it needed to be fiscally or militarily valuable to the War Department . In September 1927 , Hill met with Major General Mason M. Patrick , chief of the Army Air Corps , and his assistant , Brigadier General James E. Fechet , to discuss the placement of an attack group at Maxwell Field . Both made it clear that Maxwell Field was too close to Montgomery and was not a suitable location for an attack group . In fact , they asked Hill as `` a friend of the Air Corps '' not to `` embarrass '' the Corps by asking that the group be placed there . They warned that if he persisted , they would `` very much oppose '' the effort . However , General Patrick not wanting to alienate the new and up and coming Congressman ( who was also a member of the House Military Affairs Committee ) sought to appease Hill by offering to create an observation squadron at Maxwell Field . Hill welcomed the gesture ; however , the creation of an observation squadron fell short of the long term on - going mission sought by Hill for Maxwell Field . Hill continued to argue for the attack group to be placed at Maxwell Field . He argued that because of the permanent buildings scheduled to be built , it would be fiscally advantageous for the placement of the attack group at Maxwell Field . Hill 's arguments were an extension of ones that had been presented to him by Major Roy S. Brown , former commandant of Maxwell Field from 1922 - 1925 . In 1927 , Major Brown was the commander of the Air Corps Tactical School located at Langley Field , Virginia . Major Brown urged Hill to keep his name out of it because of the easily traceable insider information . Hill , frustrated with the lack of positive response from Generals Patrick and Fechet , moved up the chain of command and passed on the correspondence he had with General Fechet to Secretary of War Dwight Davis , Assistant Secretary of War for Air F. Trubee Davison , and Army Chief of Staff Charles P. Summerall . His request to them was given the answer : that they would give the matter `` full consideration . '' The depot 's first official flying mission was carried out after that . Observation missions originated there in 1927 -- 1929 . Pilots from the field were also involved in completing the first leg of a test designed to establish an airmail route between the Gulf Coast and the northern Great Lakes area . The successful test played a major role in the eventual establishment of permanent airmail service in the Southeast . By early 1928 , the decision of basing a new Army Air Corps attack group had come down to Shreveport , Louisiana , and Montgomery . Both cities vied for the federal money to be spent in their respective local areas , but Shreveport the more economically developed city than its counterpart Montgomery won the day . In April 1928 Hill , via his contacts in the War Department , found out that Montgomery would not be getting the attack group . Flexing his congressional muscle , Hill persuaded Assistant Secretary Davidson and now chief of the Air Corps Major General Fechet to hold off the official announcement until Montgomery had a second look by the War Department . During the interim Montgomery leaders had set forth actions to acquire over 600 acres ( 2 km ) for Maxwell Field 's expansion in hopes of wooing the War Department into placing the attack group in Montgomery . In May 1928 General Benjamin Foulois , General Fechet 's assistant , during an inspection visit with Third Army commander General Frank Parker to Maxwell Field mentioned that the Air Corps Tactical School would be moving from Langley Field to a still undecided location . During his stay General Foulois met with local Chamber of Commerce chairman Jesse Hearin and Maxwell Field post commandant , Major Walter R. Weaver . Hearin and Weaver touted the feasibility of Maxwell Field and the Montgomery area for the placement of the attack group at Maxwell Field . However , General Foulois guided the conversation towards the impending movement of the Air Corps Tactical School and he favored Maxwell Field for the new home . Hearin immediately worked up an option on another one thousand acres ( 4 km2 ) for the Air Corps Tactical School should Montgomery not be favored with the attack group . In July 1928 , word `` via rumor '' of the decision for the establishment of an attack group came out that Shreveport was indeed the victor of the final decision . In December 1928 , after much debate and political maneuvering it was announced officially by the Assistant Secretary of War that Shreveport would be getting the attack group and that the Army Air Corps Tactical School ( ACTS ) would be coming to Maxwell Field . The move to Maxwell Field from Langley Field was initially expected to increase Maxwell Field 's population by eighty officers and 300 enlisted . It was expected that the ACTS would be to the Army Air Corps what Fort Benning , Georgia was to the infantry . On January 15 , 1929 , it was announced that the ACTS would be twice as large as originally planned . On February 11 , it was announced that $1,644,298 had been allowed for ACTS construction . This was not including an additional $324,000 the Secretary of War had approved previously for non-commissioned officer barracks and a school building after a conference with Congressman Hill . On March 12 , a conference between a Major Kennedy , Chief of Buildings and Grounds of the Army Air Corps and commandant of the ACTS , and Congressman Lister Hill to determine the locations of the buildings and types of construction . In March 1929 , personnel at Maxwell provided flood relief to citizens of Montgomery . This was the first time at which food and supplies were airdropped by U.S. military forces during a major civilian emergency . On July 9 , 1929 , Captain Walter J. Reed and a battery of attorneys checked titles for the land . The War Department also announced the same day that the plan had changed to where the ACTS would now be four times as large as originally planned with 200 officers and 1,000 enlisted men . At the time , this made Maxwell Field the largest ( as far as personnel ) Army Air Corps installation in the southeast . Approximately 300 signatures to the deed of the land occupied by the Air Corps Tactical School were signed , of which one was signed by a minor . Chairman of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce James Hearin said , `` ... several cases had to be taken to court . '' Despite the obvious rush for signatures , by October 5 , deeds to the land were signed and mailed to the War Department . On December 17 , 1929 , Congressman Lister Hill introduced a bill to appropriate $320,000 for the acquiring of 1,075 acres ( 4 km ) of land in Montgomery County as a part of an expansion program for Maxwell Field . This was a particularly bold move at the time by Hill because of the stock market crash . Effects of the crash had yet to take place ; however , the panic caused by the crash had certainly captured Montgomery 's attention . Austin Hall was built in 1931 to serve as the Air Corps Tactical School 's main building . On January 25 , 1930 , President Herbert Hoover asked Congress to re-appropriate an additional $100,000 for the main school building at Maxwell Field . President Hoover 's policy was to speed public works to offset unemployment . In February 1930 , Congressman Hill 's resolution was passed in the House of Representatives and 80 acres ( 320,000 m ) were to be added to Maxwell Field for expansion purposes . George B. Ford and Frederick Law Olmsted , Jr. , were hired by the Army Quartermaster Corps and they designed the overall layout of ACTS at Maxwell . Ford used an approach that clustered similar functions together . This technique provided plenty of open space and gave each cluster a distinct appearance . On September 17 , 1931 , the first ACTS training occurred at Maxwell Field . Forty - one students met at 8 : 40 a.m. in the operations office conference room for general instruction . Classes were divided into sections , with some pilots sent on check flights , while others were sent out to become familiar with the surrounding countryside to become familiar with emergency landing field locations . On the morning of September 22 , 1931 , opening exercises of the Air Corps Tactical School were held . On September 24 , the Air Corps Tactical School was officially launched . The address was made by Major General James E. Fechet , chief of the Army Air Corps also attending were Congressman Lister Hill and commandant of the Air Corps Tactical School , Major John F. Curry . General Fechet , along with announcing his impending retirement , declared that the forty - one student officers could be future generals of the Air Corps . At a later luncheon , General Fechet also lauded Montgomery 's attitude toward the Air Corps . The 1931 - 1932 faculty included Army Air Corps ( AC ) , Army Infantry ( Inf ) , Army Chemical Warfare Service ( CWS ) , and Army Field Artillery ( FA ) instructors . Initially , the school 's curriculum reflected the dominating influence of Brigadier General Billy Mitchell . Mitchell was a strong believer in the importance of gaining and maintaining air superiority during a conflict . He argued strongly for pursuit ( e.g. , `` fighter '' ) aircraft in combination with bombers and regarded enemy pursuit forces as the most serious threat to successful bombing operations and felt that the task of American pursuit was not necessarily to escort bombers , but to also seek out and attack enemy fighters . During the first five years of the school 's operation , Mitchell 's beliefs formed the basis for instruction at the tactical school . However , by the mid-1930s the school 's emphasis had shifted from pursuit to bombardment aviation . On July 16 , 1933 , Congressman Lister Hill secured approval from the War Department for $1,650,075 for immediate spending at Maxwell Field . Hill 's request was justified by increased enrollment at the Air Corps Tactical School and the desperate need for employment for the local Montgomery population . At the start of October 1933 bids opened for four construction projects that were to start immediately ; 1933 - 1934 construction at Maxwell Field later employed an average of 500 plus workers . World War II ( edit ) World War II Maxwell Field Postcard Maxwell Field 1943 photo pictorial The Air Corps Tactical School opened July 15 , 1931 . The school evolved into the Army Air Corps ( later , U.S. Air Force 's ) first tactical center until the imminence of American involvement in World War II forced a suspension of classes in June 1940 that resulted in permanent closure of the school . One of the school 's notable achievements was its development of two aerial acrobatic teams : the `` Three Men on a Flying Trapeze '' , put together by then - Captain Claire L. Chennault in 1932 , and the Skylarks in 1935 . In 1940 , it was announced that the installation was to be converted into a pilot - training center . On 8 July 1940 the Army Air Corps redesignated its training center at Maxwell Field , Alabama as the Southeast Air Corps Training Center . The Southeast Air Corps Training Center at Maxwell handled flying training ( basic , primary and advanced ) at airfields in the Eastern United States . Overhead Maxwell Field in 1937 An Air Force Pilot School ( preflight ) was also activated which instructed Aviation Cadets in the mechanics and physics of flight and required the cadets to pass courses in mathematics and the hard sciences . Then the cadets were taught to apply their knowledge practically by teaching them aeronautics , deflection shooting , and thinking in three dimensions . In June 1941 , the Army Air Corps became the U.S. Army Air Forces , and on 8 January 1943 , the War Department constituted and redesignated the school as the 74th Flying Training Wing ( preflight ) . During following years , Maxwell was home to six different schools that trained U.S. military aviators and their support teams for wartime service . As World War II progressed , the number of required pilot trainees declined , and the Army Air Forces decided not to send more aircrew trainees to Maxwell Field . The following known sub-bases and auxiliaries were constructed to support the flying school : Passmore Auxiliary Field 32 ° 21 ′ 30 '' N 086 ° 32 ′ 00 '' W / 32.35833 ° N 86.53333 ° W / 32.35833 ; - 86.53333 Troy Auxiliary Field 32 ° 51 ′ 44 '' N 086 ° 00 ′ 45 '' W / 32.86222 ° N 86.01250 ° W / 32.86222 ; - 86.01250 Autaugaville Auxiliary Field 32 ° 25 ′ 30 '' N 086 ° 41 ′ 10 '' W / 32.42500 ° N 86.68611 ° W / 32.42500 ; - 86.68611 On 31 July 1943 , the Southeast Air Corps Training Center was redesignated as the Eastern Flying Training Command . Also in July , the Army Air Forces announced a specialized school for pilots of four - engine aircraft . The first B - 24 Liberator landed at the field later that month and in early 1945 , B - 29 Superfortress bomber training replaced the B - 24 program . Postwar / Cold War / present ( edit ) Training at Maxwell continued until 15 December 1945 , when the Eastern Flying Training Command was inactivated and was consolidated into the Central Flying Training Command at Randolph Field , Texas . Air University , an institution providing continuing military education for Army Air Forces personnel , was established at Maxwell in 1946 , prior to the U.S. Air Force becoming an independent service the following year . Today , it remains the main focus of base activities at Maxwell . In 1992 , the 3800th Air Base Wing ( 3800 ABW ) was disbanded and the 502d Air Base Wing ( 502 BW ) took over as the host wing , which two years later gave way to the current 42d Air Base Wing . As home of the Air University , Maxwell became the postgraduate academic center of the U.S. Air Force . Air University evolved first as an institution influenced by air power as shaped in World War II , then by the Cold War under the threat of nuclear annihilation , and by air power as applied during the Cold War 's Korean and Vietnam conflicts . In the early twenty - first century , the emphasis shifted to air power 's role in confronting international and transnational terrorism by both state - sponsored and non-state actors . AU grew materially from inadequate quarters , classrooms , and instructional technology into a campus that is as modern and up - to - date as those of any other in the U.S. armed forces . Construction of Maxwell 's Academic Circle , Air University 's primary education complex , began in the 1950s . Its centerpiece was the Air University Library , eventually one of several major libraries on a military installation . Over the years , other activities were established or relocated to Maxwell AFB , to include Headquarters , Civil Air Patrol - USAF ; the Air Force Reserve 's 908th Tactical Air Support Group ( 908 TASG ) , which evolved into the present day 908th Airlift Wing ; the Ira C. Eaker Center for Professional Development ; the Air Force Financial Systems Operation office ( SAF / FM ) ; the Center for Aerospace Doctrine , Research and Education ( CADRE ) ; and the Air Force Historical Research Agency , a support organization and repository for air power scholars and AU students . In 1994 , Air Force Officer Training School ( OTS ) was also relocated from Lackland AFB / Medina Annex , Texas to Maxwell AFB , joining the national headquarters of the Air Force 's other non-Academy officer accession source , Air Force ROTC . Popular culture ( edit ) Maxwell AFB appears in the video game Tom Clancy 's EndWar as a possible battlefield .

-336823638788056690 | Graded potential | Graded potential - wikipedia Graded potential Jump to : navigation , search Examples of graded potentials Graded potentials are changes in membrane potential that vary in size , as opposed to being all - or - none . They arise from the summation of the individual actions of ligand - gated ion channel proteins , and decrease over time and space . They do not typically involve voltage - gated sodium and potassium channels . These impulses are incremental and may be excitatory or inhibitory . They occur at the postsynaptic dendrite as a result of presynaptic neuron firing and release of neurotransmitter , or may occur in skeletal , smooth , or cardiac muscle in response to nerve input . The magnitude of a graded potential is determined by the strength of the stimulus . Contents ( hide ) 1 EPSPs 2 IPSPs 3 Summation 4 Notes 5 References EPSPs ( edit ) Graded potentials that make the membrane potential less negative or more positive , thus making the postsynaptic cell more likely to have an action potential , are called excitatory postsynaptic potentials ( EPSPs ) . Depolarizing local potentials sum together , and if the voltage reaches the threshold potential , an action potential occurs in that cell . EPSPs are caused by the influx of Na or Ca from the extracellular space into the neuron or muscle cell . When the presynaptic neuron has an action potential , Ca enters the axon terminal via voltage - dependent calcium channels and causes exocytosis of synaptic vesicles , causing neurotransmitter to be released . The transmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft and activates ligand - gated ion channels that mediate the EPSP . The amplitude of the EPSP is directly proportional to the number of synaptic vesicles that were released . If the EPSP is not large enough to trigger an action potential , the membrane subsequently repolarizes to its resting membrane potential . This shows the temporary and reversible nature of graded potentials . IPSPs ( edit ) Graded potentials that make the membrane potential more negative , and make the postsynaptic cell less likely to have an action potential , are called inhibitory post synaptic potentials ( IPSPs ) . Hyperpolarization of membranes is caused by influx of Cl or efflux of K. As with EPSPs , the amplitude of the IPSP is directly proportional to the number of synaptic vesicles that were released . Summation ( edit ) The resting membrane potential is usually around -- 70 mV . The typical neuron has a threshold potential ranging from -- 40 mV to -- 55 mV . Temporal summation occurs when graded potentials within the postsynaptic cell occur so rapidly that they build on each other before the previous ones fade . Spatial summation occurs when postsynaptic potentials from adjacent synapses on the cell occur simultaneously and add together . An action potential occurs when the summated EPSPs , minus the summated IPSPs , in an area of membrane reach the cell 's threshold potential .

It originated as a harvest festival . Thanksgiving has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789 , after Congress requested a proclamation by George Washington . It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1863 , when , during the American Civil War , President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of `` Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens , '' to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November . Together with Christmas and the New Year , Thanksgiving is a part of the broader fall / winter holiday season in the U.S. The event that Americans commonly call the `` First Thanksgiving '' was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621 . This feast lasted three days , and -- as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow -- it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims . The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating `` thanksgivings '' -- days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought .

The first documented thanksgiving services in territory currently belonging to the United States were conducted by Spaniards and the French in the 16th century . Wisdom practices such as expressing gratitude , sharing , and giving away , are integral to many indigenous cultures and communities . Thanksgiving services were routine in what became the Commonwealth of Virginia as early as 1607 , with the first permanent settlement of Jamestown , Virginia holding a thanksgiving in 1610 . In 1619 , 38 English settlers arrived at Berkeley Hundred in Charles City County , Virginia . The group 's London Company charter specifically required `` that the day of our ships arrival at the place assigned ... in the land of Virginia shall be yearly and perpetually kept holy as a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God . '' Three years later , after the Indian massacre of 1622 , the Berkeley Hundred site and other outlying locations were abandoned and colonists moved their celebration to Jamestown and other more secure spots . External video The True Story of the First Thanksgiving , American Experience , PBS , November 24 , 2015 Harvest festival observed by the Pilgrims at Plymouth ( edit ) Main article : The First Thanksgiving Americans also trace the Thanksgiving holiday to a 1621 celebration at the Plymouth Plantation , where the settlers held a harvest feast after a successful growing season . Autumn or early winter feasts continued sporadically in later years , first as an impromptu religious observance and later as a civil tradition . Squanto , a Patuxet Native American who resided with the Wampanoag tribe , taught the Pilgrims how to catch eel and grow corn and served as an interpreter for them . Squanto had learned the English language during his enslavement in England . The Wampanoag leader Massasoit had given food to the colonists during the first winter when supplies brought from England were insufficient . The Pilgrims celebrated at Plymouth for three days after their first harvest in 1621 . The exact time is unknown , but James Baker , the Plimoth Plantation vice president of research , stated in 1996 , `` The event occurred between Sept. 21 and Nov. 11 , 1621 , with the most likely time being around Michaelmas ( Sept. 29 ) , the traditional time . '' Seventeenth - century accounts do not identify this as a Thanksgiving observance , rather it followed the harvest . It included 50 persons who were on the Mayflower ( all who remained of the 100 who had landed ) and 90 Native Americans . The feast was cooked by the four adult Pilgrim women who survived their first winter in the New World ( Eleanor Billington , Elizabeth Hopkins , Mary Brewster , and Susanna White ) , along with young daughters and male and female servants . `` Pilgrims '' are often confused with `` Puritans '' . This sculpture The Pilgrim by Augustus St. Gaudens is based on his earlier work The Puritan Two colonists gave personal accounts of the 1621 feast in Plymouth . The Pilgrims , most of whom were Separatists ( English Dissenters ) , are not to be confused with Puritans , who established their own Massachusetts Bay Colony on the Shawmut Peninsula ( current day Boston ) in 1630 . Both groups were strict Calvinists , but differed in their views regarding the Church of England . Puritans wished to remain in the Anglican Church and reform it , while the Pilgrims wanted complete separation from the church . William Bradford , in Of Plymouth Plantation wrote : They began now to gather in the small harvest they had , and to fit up their houses and dwellings against winter , being all well recovered in health and strength and had all things in good plenty . For as some were thus employed in affairs abroad , others were exercised in fishing , about cod and bass and other fish , of which they took good store , of which every family had their portion . All the summer there was no want ; and now began to come in store of fowl , as winter approached , of which this place did abound when they can be used ( but afterward decreased by degrees ) . And besides waterfowl there was great store of wild turkeys , of which they took many , besides venison , etc . Besides , they had about a peck a meal a week to a person , or now since harvest , Indian corn to the proportion . Which made many afterwards write so largely of their plenty here to their friends in England , which were not feigned but true reports . The First Thanksgiving 1621 , oil on canvas by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris ( 1899 ) . The painting shows common misconceptions about the event that persist to modern times : Pilgrims did not wear such outfits , and the Wampanoag are dressed in the style of Native Americans from the Great Plains . Edward Winslow , in Mourt 's Relation wrote : Our harvest being gotten in , our governor sent four men on fowling , that so we might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruits of our labor . They four in one day killed as much fowl as , with a little help beside , served the company almost a week . At which time , amongst other recreations , we exercised our arms , many of the Indians coming amongst us , and among the rest their greatest king Massasoit , with some ninety men , whom for three days we entertained and feasted , and they went out and killed five deer , which we brought to the plantation and bestowed on our governor , and upon the captain and others . And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us , yet by the goodness of God , we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty . The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth , oil on canvas by Jennie Augusta Brownscombe ( 1914 ) The Pilgrims held a true Thanksgiving celebration in 1623 following a fast , and a refreshing 14 - day rain which resulted in a larger harvest . William DeLoss Love calculates that this thanksgiving was made on Wednesday , July 30 , 1623 , a day before the arrival of a supply ship with more colonists , but before the fall harvest . In Love 's opinion this 1623 thanksgiving was significant because the order to recognize the event was from civil authority ( Governor Bradford ) , and not from the church , making it likely the first civil recognition of Thanksgiving in New England . Referring to the 1623 harvest after the nearly catastrophic drought , Bradford wrote : And afterwards the Lord sent them such seasonable showers , with interchange of fair warm weather as , through His blessing , caused a fruitful and liberal harvest , to their no small comfort and rejoicing . For which mercy , in time convenient , they also set apart a day of thanksgiving ... By this time harvest was come , and instead of famine now God gave them plenty ... for which they blessed God . And the effect of their particular planting was well seen , for all had ... pretty well ... so as any general want or famine had not been amongst them since to this day . These firsthand accounts do not appear to have contributed to the early development of the holiday . Bradford 's `` Of Plymouth Plantation '' was not published until the 1850s . While the booklet `` Mourt 's Relation '' was summarized by other publications without the now - familiar thanksgiving story . By the eighteenth century the original booklet appeared to be lost or forgotten . A copy was rediscovered in Philadelphia in 1820 , with the first full reprinting in 1841 . In a footnote the editor , Alexander Young , was the first person to identify the 1621 feast as the first Thanksgiving . According to historian James Baker , debates over where any `` first Thanksgiving '' took place on modern American territory are a `` tempest in a beanpot '' . Jeremy Bang claims , `` Local boosters in Virginia , Florida , and Texas promote their own colonists , who ( like many people getting off a boat ) gave thanks for setting foot again on dry land . '' Baker claims , `` the American holiday 's true origin was the New England Calvinist Thanksgiving . Never coupled with a Sabbath meeting , the Puritan observances were special days set aside during the week for thanksgiving and praise in response to God 's providence . '' Nevertheless , President John F. Kennedy , in an attempt to strike a compromise between the regional claims , issued Proclamation 3560 on November 5 , 1963 stating , `` Over three centuries ago , our forefathers in Virginia and in Massachusetts , far from home in a lonely wilderness , set aside a time of thanksgiving . On the appointed day , they gave reverent thanks for their safety , for the health of their children , for the fertility of their fields , for the love which bound them together and for the faith which united them with their God . '' The Revolutionary War to nationhood ( edit ) During the American Revolutionary War the Continental Congress appointed one or more thanksgiving days each year , each time recommending to the executives of the various states the observance of these days in their states . The First National Proclamation of Thanksgiving was given by the Continental Congress in 1777 from its temporary location in York , Pennsylvania , while the British occupied the national capital at Philadelphia . Delegate Samuel Adams created the first draft . Congress then adapted the final version : For as much as it is the indispensable Duty of all Men to adore the superintending Providence of Almighty God ; to acknowledge with Gratitude their Obligation to him for Benefits received , and to implore such farther Blessings as they stand in Need of : And it having pleased him in his abundant Mercy , not only to continue to us the innumerable Bounties of his common Providence ; but also to smile upon us in the Prosecution of a just and necessary War , for the Defense and Establishment of our unalienable Rights and Liberties ; particularly in that he hath been pleased , in so great a Measure , to prosper the Means used for the Support of our Troops , and to crown our Arms with most signal success : It is therefore recommended to the legislative or executive Powers of these United States to set apart Thursday , the eighteenth Day of December next , for Solemn Thanksgiving and Praise : That at one Time and with one Voice , the good People may express the grateful Feelings of their Hearts , and consecrate themselves to the Service of their Divine Benefactor ; and that , together with their sincere Acknowledgments and Offerings , they may join the penitent Confession of their manifold Sins , whereby they had forfeited every Favor ; and their humble and earnest Supplication that it may please God through the Merits of Jesus Christ , mercifully to forgive and blot them out of Remembrance ; That it may please him graciously to afford his Blessing on the Governments of these States respectively , and prosper the public Council of the whole : To inspire our Commanders , both by Land and Sea , and all under them , with that Wisdom and Fortitude which may render them fit Instruments , under the Providence of Almighty God , to secure for these United States , the greatest of all human Blessings , Independence and Peace : That it may please him , to prosper the Trade and Manufactures of the People , and the Labor of the Husbandman , that our Land may yield its Increase : To take Schools and Seminaries of Education , so necessary for cultivating the Principles of true Liberty , Virtue and Piety , under his nurturing Hand ; and to prosper the Means of Religion , for the promotion and enlargement of that Kingdom , which consisteth `` in Righteousness , Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost . And it is further recommended , That servile Labor , and such Recreation , as , though at other Times innocent , may be unbecoming the Purpose of this Appointment , be omitted on so solemn an Occasion . George Washington , leader of the revolutionary forces in the American Revolutionary War , proclaimed a Thanksgiving in December 1777 as a victory celebration honoring the defeat of the British at Saratoga . Thanksgiving proclamations in the first thirty years of nationhood ( edit ) Main article : National Thanksgiving Proclamation George Washington 's Thanksgiving Proclamation , 1789 ( top ) and 1795 The Continental - Confederation Congress , the legislative body that governed the United States from 1774 to 1789 , issued several `` national days of prayer , humiliation , and thanksgiving '' , a practice that was continued by Presidents Washington and Adams under the Constitution , and has manifested itself in the established American observances of Thanksgiving and the National Day of Prayer today . This proclamation was published in The Independent Gazetteer , or the Chronicle of Freedom , on November 5 , 1782 , the first being observed on November 28 , 1782 : By the United States in Congress assembled , PROCLAMATION . It being the indispensable duty of all nations , not only to offer up their supplications to Almighty God , the giver of all good , for His gracious assistance in a time of distress , but also in a solemn and public manner , to give Him praise for His goodness in general , and especially for great and signal interpositions of His Providence in their behalf ; therefore , the United States in Congress assembled , taking into their consideration the many instances of Divine goodness to these States in the course of the important conflict , in which they have been so long engaged , -- the present happy and promising state of public affairs , and the events of the war in the course of the year now drawing to a close ; particularly the harmony of the public Councils which is so necessary to the success of the public cause , -- the perfect union and good understanding which has hitherto subsisted between them and their allies , notwithstanding the artful and unwearied attempts of the common enemy to divide them , -- the success of the arms of the United States and those of their allies , -- and the acknowledgment of their Independence by another European power , whose friendship and commerce must be of great and lasting advantage to these States ; Do hereby recommend it to the inhabitants of these States in general , to observe and request the several states to interpose their authority , in appointing and commanding the observation of THURSDAY the TWENTY - EIGHTH DAY OF NOVEMBER next as a day of SOLEMN THANKSGIVING to GOD for all His mercies ; and they do further recommend to all ranks to testify their gratitude to God for His goodness by a cheerful obedience to His laws and by promoting , each in his station , and by his influence , the practice of true and undefiled religion , which is the great foundation of public prosperity and national happiness . Done in Congress at Philadelphia , the eleventh day of October , in the year of our LORD , one thousand seven hundred and eighty - two , and of our Sovereignty and Independence , the seventh . JOHN HANSON , President . CHARLES THOMSON , Secretary . On Thursday , September 24 , 1789 , the first House of Representatives voted to recommend the First Amendment of the newly drafted Constitution to the states for ratification . The next day , Congressman Elias Boudinot from New Jersey proposed that the House and Senate jointly request of President Washington to proclaim a day of thanksgiving for `` the many signal favors of Almighty God '' . Boudinot said that he `` could not think of letting the session pass over without offering an opportunity to all the citizens of the United States of joining , with one voice , in returning to Almighty God their sincere thanks for the many blessings he had poured down upon them . '' As President , on October 3 , 1789 , George Washington made the following proclamation and created the first Thanksgiving Day designated by the national government of the United States of America : Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God , to obey his will , to be grateful for his benefits , and humbly to implore his protection and favor , and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me `` to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness . '' Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being , who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was , that is , or that will be . That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks , for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation , for the signal and manifold mercies , and the favorable interpositions of his providence , which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war , for the great degree of tranquility , union , and plenty , which we have since enjoyed , for the peaceable and rational manner , in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness , and particularly the national One now lately instituted , for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed ; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge ; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us . And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions , to enable us all , whether in public or private stations , to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually , to render our national government a blessing to all the people , by constantly being a Government of wise , just , and constitutional laws , discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed , to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations ( especially such as have shown kindness unto us ) and to bless them with good government , peace , and concord . To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue , and the encrease of science among them and Us , and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best . Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789 . George Washington again proclaimed a Thanksgiving in 1795 . President John Adams declared Thanksgivings in 1798 and 1799 . No Thanksgiving proclamations were issued by Thomas Jefferson but James Madison renewed the tradition in 1814 , in response to resolutions of Congress , at the close of the War of 1812 . Caleb Strong , Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts , declared the holiday in 1813 , `` for a day of public thanksgiving and prayer '' for Thursday , the 25th of November of that year . Madison also declared the holiday twice in 1815 ; however , none of these were celebrated in autumn . In 1816 , Governor Plumer of New Hampshire appointed Thursday , November 14 to be observed as a day of Public Thanksgiving and Governor Brooks of Massachusetts appointed Thursday , November 28 to be `` observed throughout that State as a day of Thanksgiving '' . A thanksgiving day was annually appointed by the governor of New York from 1817 . By 1858 proclamations appointing a day of thanksgiving were issued by the governors of 25 states and two territories . Lincoln and the civil War ( edit ) Sketch by Alfred Waud of Thanksgiving in camp ( of General Louis Blenker ) during the U.S. Civil War in 1861 Home to Thanksgiving , lithograph by Currier and Ives ( 1867 ) In the middle of the American Civil War , President Abraham Lincoln , prompted by a series of editorials written by Sarah Josepha Hale , proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day , to be celebrated on the 26th , the final Thursday of November 1863 . The document , written by Secretary of State William H. Seward , reads as follows : The year that is drawing towards its close , has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies . To these bounties , which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come , others have been added , which are of so extraordinary a nature , that they can not fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God . In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity , which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression , peace has been preserved with all nations , order has been maintained , the laws have been respected and obeyed , and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict ; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union . Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence , have not arrested the plough , the shuttle , or the ship ; the axe had enlarged the borders of our settlements , and the mines , as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals , have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore . Population has steadily increased , notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp , the siege and the battle - field ; and the country , rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor , is permitted to expect continuance of years , with large increase of freedom . No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things . They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God , who , while dealing with us in anger for our sins , hath nevertheless remembered mercy . It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly , reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people . I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States , and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands , to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next , as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens . And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings , they do also , with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience , commend to his tender care all those who have become widows , orphans , mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged , and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace , harmony , tranquility and Union . In testimony whereof , I have hereunto set my hand , and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed . Done at the city of Washington , this third day of October , in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty - three , and of the independence of the United States the eighty - eighth . '' Proclamation of President Abraham Lincoln , October 3 , 1863 . Since 1863 , Thanksgiving has been observed annually in the United States . Post-civil War era ( edit ) Servicemen eating a Thanksgiving dinner after the end of World War I ( 1918 ) During the second half of the 19th century , Thanksgiving traditions in America varied from region to region . A traditional New England Thanksgiving , for example , consisted of a raffle held on Thanksgiving Eve ( in which the prizes were mainly geese or turkeys ) , a shooting match on Thanksgiving morning ( in which turkeys and chickens were used as targets ) , church services -- and then the traditional feast , which consisted of some familiar Thanksgiving staples such as turkey and pumpkin pie , and some not - so - familiar dishes such as pigeon pie . The earliest high school football rivalries took root in the late 19th century in Massachusetts , stemming from games played on Thanksgiving ; professional football took root as a Thanksgiving staple during the sport 's genesis in the 1890s , and the tradition of Thanksgiving football both at the high school and professional level continues to this day . In New York City , people would dress up in fanciful masks and costumes and roam the streets in merry - making mobs . By the beginning of the 20th century , these mobs had morphed into Ragamuffin parades consisting mostly of children dressed as `` ragamuffins '' in costumes of old and mismatched adult clothes and with deliberately smudged faces , but by the late 1950s the tradition had diminished enough to only exist in a few communities around New York . 1939 to 1941 ( edit ) Abraham Lincoln 's successors as president followed his example of annually declaring the final Thursday in November to be Thanksgiving . But in 1939 , President Franklin D. Roosevelt broke with this tradition . November had five Thursdays that year ( instead of the more - common four ) , Roosevelt declared the fourth Thursday as Thanksgiving rather than the fifth one . Although many popular histories state otherwise , he made clear that his plan was to establish the holiday on the next - to - last Thursday in the month instead of the last one . With the country still in the midst of The Great Depression , Roosevelt thought an earlier Thanksgiving would give merchants a longer period to sell goods before Christmas . Increasing profits and spending during this period , Roosevelt hoped , would help bring the country out of the Depression . At the time , advertising goods for Christmas before Thanksgiving was considered inappropriate . Fred Lazarus , Jr. , founder of the Federated Department Stores ( later Macy 's ) , is credited with convincing Roosevelt to push Thanksgiving to a week earlier to expand the shopping season , and within two years the change passed through Congress into law . Republicans decried the change , calling it an affront to the memory of Lincoln . People began referring to November 30 as the `` Republican Thanksgiving '' and November 23 as the `` Democratic Thanksgiving '' or `` Franksgiving '' . Regardless of the politics , many localities had made a tradition of celebrating on the last Thursday , and many football teams had a tradition of playing their final games of the season on Thanksgiving ; with their schedules set well in advance , they could not change . Since a presidential declaration of Thanksgiving Day was not legally binding , Roosevelt 's change was widely disregarded . Twenty - three states went along with Roosevelt 's recommendation , 22 did not , and some , like Texas , could not decide and took both days as government holidays . In 1940 and 1941 , years in which November had four Thursdays , Roosevelt declared the third one as Thanksgiving . As in 1939 , some states went along with the change while others retained the traditional last - Thursday date . 1942 to present ( edit ) Dr. Mordecai Johnson , president of Howard University , serving portions of Thanksgiving turkey to members of his family in 1942 . On October 6 , 1941 , both houses of the U.S. Congress passed a joint resolution fixing the traditional last - Thursday date for the holiday beginning in 1942 . However , in December of that year the Senate passed an amendment to the resolution that split the difference by requiring that Thanksgiving be observed annually on the fourth Thursday of November , which was usually the last Thursday and sometimes ( two years out of seven , on average ) the next to last . The amendment also passed the House , and on December 26 , 1941 , President Roosevelt signed this bill , for the first time making the date of Thanksgiving a matter of federal law and fixing the day as the fourth Thursday of November . For several years some states continued to observe the last - Thursday date in years with five November Thursdays ( the next such year being 1944 ) , with Texas doing so as late as 1956 . Traditional celebrations ( edit ) Charity ( edit ) Hungry diners line up outside a church for a free Thanksgiving meal The poor are often provided with food at Thanksgiving time . Most communities have annual food drives that collect non-perishable packaged and canned foods , and corporations sponsor charitable distributions of staple foods and Thanksgiving dinners . The Salvation Army enlists volunteers to serve Thanksgiving dinners to hundreds of people in different locales . Additionally , pegged to be five days after Thanksgiving is Giving Tuesday , a celebration of charitable giving . Foods of the season ( edit ) Main article : Thanksgiving dinner U.S. tradition compares the holiday with a meal held in 1621 by the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims who settled at Plymouth Plantation . It is continued in modern times with the Thanksgiving dinner , traditionally featuring turkey , playing a central role in the celebration of Thanksgiving . In the United States , certain kinds of food are traditionally served at Thanksgiving meals . Turkey , usually roasted and stuffed ( but sometimes deep - fried instead ) , is typically the featured item on any Thanksgiving feast table , so much so that Thanksgiving is colloquially known as `` Turkey Day . '' In fact , 45 million turkeys were consumed on Thanksgiving Day alone in 2015 . With 85 percent of Americans partaking in the meal , that 's an estimated 276 million Americans dining on the festive poultry , spending an expected $1.05 billion on turkeys for Thanksgiving in 2016 . Mashed potatoes with gravy , stuffing , sweet potatoes , cranberry sauce , sweet corn , various fall vegetables , squash , brussels sprouts and pumpkin pie are commonly associated with Thanksgiving dinner . Green bean casserole was introduced in 1955 and remains a favorite . All of these are actually native to the Americas or were introduced as a new food source to the Europeans when they arrived . Turkey may be an exception . In his book Mayflower , Nathaniel Philbrick suggests that the Pilgrims might already have been familiar with turkey in England , even though the bird is native to the Americas . The Spaniards had brought domesticated turkeys back from Central America in the early 17th century , and the birds soon became popular fare all over Europe , including England , where turkey ( as an alternative to the traditional goose ) became a `` fixture at English Christmases '' . The Pilgrims did not observe Christmas . As a result of the size of Thanksgiving dinner , Americans eat more food on Thanksgiving than on any other day of the year . Giving thanks ( edit ) Thanksgiving Day Service , November 23 , 1944 Thanksgiving was founded as a religious observance for all the members of the community to give thanks to God for a common purpose . Historic reasons for community thanksgivings are : the 1541 thanksgiving mass after the expedition of Francisco Vásquez de Coronado safely crossing the high plains of Texas and finding game , and the 1777 thanksgiving after the victory in the Revolutionary War Battle of Saratoga . In his 1789 National Thanksgiving Proclamation , President Washington gave many noble reasons for a national Thanksgiving , including `` for the civil and religious liberty '' , for `` useful knowledge '' , and for God 's `` kind care '' and `` His Providence '' . After President Washington delivered this message , the `` Episcopal Church , of which President Washington was a member , announced that the first Thursday in November would become its regular day for giving thanks '' . After Washington , the only presidents to express a specifically Christian perspective in their proclamation have been Grover Cleveland in 1896 , and William McKinley in 1900 . Several other presidents have cited the Judeo - Christian tradition . The tradition of giving thanks to God is continued today in many forms , most notably the attendance of religious services , as well as the saying of a mealtime prayer before Thanksgiving dinner . Many houses of worship offer worship services and events on Thanksgiving themes the weekend before , the day of , or the weekend after Thanksgiving . At home , it is a holiday tradition in many families to begin the Thanksgiving dinner by saying grace ( a prayer before or after a meal ) . The custom is portrayed in the photograph `` Family Holding Hands and Praying Before a Thanksgiving Meal '' . Before praying , it is a common practice at the dining table for `` each person ( to ) tell one specific reason they 're thankful to God that year . '' While grace is said , many families hold hands until the prayer concludes , often indicated with an `` Amen '' . Traditionally , grace was led by the hostess or host , though in later times it is usual for others to contribute . Joy Fisher , a Baptist Christian writer , states that `` this holiday takes on a spiritual emphasis and includes recognition of the source of the blessings they enjoy year round -- a loving God . '' In the same vein , Hesham A. Hassaballa , an American Muslim scholar and physician , has written that Thanksgiving `` is wholly consistent with Islamic principles '' and that `` few things are more Islamic than thanking God for His blessings '' . Similarly many Sikh Americans also celebrate the holiday by `` giving thanks to Almighty '' . Parades ( edit ) For a more comprehensive list , see List of holiday parades . The 1979 Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade . Since 1924 , in New York City , the Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade is held annually every Thanksgiving Day from the Upper West Side of Manhattan to Macy 's flagship store in Herald Square , and televised nationally by NBC . The parade features parade floats with specific themes , scenes from Broadway plays , large balloons of cartoon characters , TV personalities , and high school marching bands . The float that traditionally ends the Macy 's Parade is the Santa Claus float , the arrival of which is an unofficial sign of the beginning of the Christmas season . It is billed as the world 's largest parade . The oldest Thanksgiving Day parade is the Philadelphia 's Thanksgiving Day Parade , which launched in 1920 and takes place in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . Philadelphia 's parade was long associated with Gimbels , a prominent Macy 's rival , until that store closed in 1986 . Its current sponsors are WPVI - TV , the channel 6 ABC affiliate in Philadelphia ; and Dunkin ' Donuts donut chain . Founded in 1924 , the same year as the Macy 's parade , America 's Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit is one of the largest parades in the country . The parade runs from Midtown to Downtown Detroit and precedes the annual Detroit Lions Thanksgiving football game . The parade includes large balloons , marching bands , and various celebrity guests much like the Macy 's parade and is nationally televised on various affiliate stations . The Mayor of Detroit closes the parade by giving Santa Claus a key to the city . There are Thanksgiving parades in many other cities , including : Ameren Missouri Thanksgiving Day Parade ( St. Louis , Missouri ) America 's Hometown Thanksgiving Parade ( Plymouth , Massachusetts ) Belk Carolinas ' Carrousel Parade ( Charlotte , North Carolina ) Celebrate the Season Parade ( Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania ) FirstLight Federal Credit Union Sun Bowl Parade ( El Paso , Texas ) H-E-B Holiday Parade ( Houston , Texas ) McDonald 's Thanksgiving Parade ( Chicago , Illinois ) Santa Claus Parade ( Peoria , Illinois ) , the nation 's oldest , dating to 1887 and held the day after Thanksgiving Parada de los Cerros Thanksgiving Day Parade ( Fountain Hills , Arizona ) UBS Parade Spectacular ( Stamford , Connecticut ) -- held the Sunday before Thanksgiving so it does n't directly compete with the Macy 's parade 30 miles ( 48 km ) away . Most of these parades are televised on a local station , and some have small , usually regional , syndication networks ; most also carry the parades via Internet television on the TV stations ' websites . Several other parades have a loose association with Thanksgiving , thanks to CBS 's now - discontinued All - American Thanksgiving Day Parade coverage . Parades that were covered during this era were the Aloha Floral Parade held in Honolulu , Hawaii every September , the Toronto Santa Claus Parade in Toronto , Ontario , Canada , and the Opryland Aqua Parade ( held from 1996 to 2001 by the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville ) ; the Opryland parade was discontinued and replaced by a taped parade in Miami Beach , Florida in 2002 . A Disneyland parade was also featured on CBS until Disney purchased rival ABC . For many years the Santa Claus Lane Parade ( now Hollywood Christmas Parade ) in Los Angeles was held on the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving . In 1978 this was switched to the Sunday following the holiday . Sports ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources .

( November 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) American football ( edit ) Main articles : American football on Thanksgiving and NFL on Thanksgiving Day American football is an important part of many Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States , a tradition that dates to the earliest era of the sport in the late 19th century . Professional football games are often held on Thanksgiving Day ; until recently , these were the only games played during the week apart from Sunday or Monday night . The National Football League has played games on Thanksgiving every year since its creation . The Detroit Lions have hosted a game every Thanksgiving Day from 1934 to 1938 and again every year since 1945 . In 1966 , the Dallas Cowboys , who had been founded six years earlier , adopted the practice of hosting Thanksgiving games . The league added a third game in prime time in 2006 , which aired on the NFL Network , then moved to NBC in 2012 . The third game has no set site or team , providing an opportunity for all teams in the league to host a Thanksgiving game in the future . For college football teams that participate in the highest level ( all teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision , as well as three teams in the historically black Southwestern Athletic Conference of the Championship Subdivision ) , the regular season ends on Thanksgiving weekend , and a team 's final game is often against a regional or historic rival , such as the Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn , the Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State , the Apple Cup between Washington and Washington State , and Michigan and Ohio State playing in their rivalry game . Most of these college games are played on the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving , but usually one or two college games are played on Thanksgiving itself . The lower divisions of the game , including all of Divisions II and III , the NAIA , club football and the rest of the Championship Subdivision ( except the Ivy League , whose season ends before Thanksgiving ) . are in the midst of playoff tournaments over Thanksgiving weekend . Some high school football games ( which include some state championship games ) , and informal `` Turkey Bowl '' contests played by amateur groups and organizations , are frequently held on Thanksgiving weekend . Games of football preceding or following the meal in the backyard or a nearby field are also common during many family gatherings . Amateur games typically follow less organized backyard - rules , two - hand touch or flag football styles . Other sports ( edit ) College basketball holds several elimination tournaments on over Thanksgiving weekend , before the conference season . These include the Anaheim - based Wooden Legacy , the Orlando - based AdvoCare Invitational , and the Bahamas - based Battle 4 Atlantis , all of which are televised on ESPN2 and ESPNU in marathon format . The NCAA owned - and - operated NIT Season Tip - Off has also since moved to Thanksgiving week . This is a relatively new phenomenon , dating only to 2006 . The National Basketball Association also briefly played on Thanksgiving , albeit in the evening , with a doubleheader airing Thanksgiving night on TNT , a practice that ran from 2009 to 2011 ; the Atlanta Hawks hosted the early game each year , while the Los Angeles Clippers hosted the late game in both 2010 and 2011 ( both of the 2011 NBA Thanksgiving games were canceled due to a labor dispute ) . The NBA did not schedule any Thanksgiving games in 2012 or 2013 , mainly due to the move of the NFL 's primetime Thanksgiving game to NBC . U.S. Army serviceman dressed in a turkey costume leads the Kabul Satellite Turkey Chase 10K Run on Thanksgiving Day , 2011 Though golf and auto racing are in their off - seasons on Thanksgiving , there are events in those sports that take place on Thanksgiving weekend . The Turkey Night Grand Prix is an annual automobile race that takes place at various venues in southern California on Thanksgiving night ; due in part to the fact that this is after the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and Verizon IndyCar Series have finished their seasons , it allows some of the top racers in the United States to participate . In golf , Thanksgiving weekend was the traditional time of the Skins Game from 1983 to 2008 ; the event was canceled in 2009 due to a lack of sponsorship and a difficulty in drawing star talent . A return was , at the time of the cancellation , planned for the next year , but no skins game has been included on the PGA Tour schedule since that time . The world championship pumpkin chunking contest was held in early November in Delaware and televised each Thanksgiving on Science Channel . In ice hockey , the National Hockey League announced , as part of its decade - long extension with NBC , that they would begin airing a game on the Friday afternoon following Thanksgiving beginning the 2011 -- 12 NHL season ; the game has since been branded as the Thanksgiving Showdown . ( The Boston Bruins have played matinees on Black Friday since at least 1990 , but 2011 is the first time the game has been nationally televised . ) The NHL has played games on Thanksgiving , usually scheduling games involving Canadian teams ( but not always , as was the case in 2016 , when the league scheduled a nationally televised game Thanksgiving night between two American teams on the West Coast ) . In Canada , Thanksgiving is in October , although no games were scheduled in 2011 and only one was scheduled in 2012 ( both the Thanksgiving Showdown and the lone Canadian game on U.S. Thanksgiving were canceled as a result of a labor dispute in 2012 ) ; as a result of the effective day off , almost all of the league 's teams play the day after Thanksgiving . Professional wrestling promotions have typically held premier pay - per - view events on or around the time of Thanksgiving . This trend began in 1983 when Jim Crockett Promotions , the largest promoter in the National Wrestling Alliance , introduced Starrcade . Starrcade , later incorporated into World Championship Wrestling , moved off Thanksgiving in 1988 ; the year prior , the rival World Wrestling Federation had introduced Survivor Series ' , an event that continues to be hosted in November to the present day . TNA Wrestling held pay - per - view events , including TNA Genesis and TNA Turning Point , in November from 2005 to 2013 . The Turkey Trot is a road running event held in numerous cities on Thanksgiving morning . Depending on the organizations involved , these can range from one - mile ( 1.6 km ) fun runs to full marathons ( although no races currently use the latter ; the Atlanta Marathon stopped running on Thanksgiving beginning in 2010 ) . Most Turkey Trots range from between three and ten miles ( 5 -- 16 km ) . Television ( edit ) For a more comprehensive list , see List of Thanksgiving television specials . While not as prolific as Christmas specials , which usually begin right after Thanksgiving , there are many special television programs transmitted on or around Thanksgiving , such as A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving , in addition to the live parades and football games mentioned above . In some cases , television broadcasters begin programming Christmas films and specials to run on Thanksgiving Day , taking the day as a signal for the beginning of the Christmas season . Radio ( edit ) `` Alice 's Restaurant '' , an 18 - minute monologue by Arlo Guthrie that is partially based on an incident that happened on Thanksgiving in 1965 , was first released in 1967 . It has since become a tradition on numerous classic rock and classic hits radio stations to play the full , uninterrupted recording to much fanfare each Thanksgiving Day , a tradition that appears to have originated with counterculture radio host Bob Fass , who introduced the song to the public on his radio show . Another song that traditionally gets played on numerous radio stations ( of many different formats ) is `` The Thanksgiving Song '' , a 1992 song by Adam Sandler . Prominent radio host Rush Limbaugh has an annual tradition known as The Real Story of Thanksgiving , in which he gives his interpretation of the Thanksgiving story on his program the day before Thanksgiving . The public radio series Science Friday broadcasts coverage of the Ig Nobel Prize ceremonies on the day after Thanksgiving . Football play - by - play and , in at least one case , parade coverage , is also available on the radio . Turkey pardoning ( edit ) John F. Kennedy unofficially spares a turkey on November 19 , 1963 . The practice of `` pardoning '' turkeys in this manner became a permanent tradition in 1989 . Since 1947 , the National Turkey Federation has presented the President of the United States with one live turkey and two dressed turkeys , in a ceremony known as the National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation . John F. Kennedy was the first president reported to spare the turkey given to him ( he announced he did n't plan to eat the bird ) , and Ronald Reagan was the first to grant the turkey a presidential pardon , which he jokingly presented to his 1987 turkey ( a turkey that would indeed be spared and sent to a petting zoo ) . There are legends that state that the `` pardoning '' tradition dates to the Harry Truman administration or even to an anecdote of Abraham Lincoln pardoning his son 's pet turkey ( a Christmas turkey ) ; both stories have been quoted in more recent presidential speeches , but neither has any evidence in the Presidential record . In more recent years , two turkeys have been pardoned , in case the original turkey becomes unavailable for presidential pardoning . George H.W. Bush , who served as vice president under Reagan , made the turkey pardon a permanent annual tradition upon assuming the presidency in 1989 , a tradition that has been carried on by every president each year since . The pardoned turkeys have typically ended up in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington , D.C. From 1989 to 2004 they were sent to a children 's farm called `` Frying Pan Farm Park '' in Herndon , Virginia . From 2009 to 2013 they were sent to George Washington 's Mount Vernon estate near Alexandria , Virginia , and in 2014 they were sent to an estate in Leesburg , Virginia once owned by former state governor and turkey farmer Westmoreland Davis . However , from 2005 to 2009 they were sent to either Walt Disney World or Disneyland . The turkeys rarely live to see the next Thanksgiving due to being bred for large size . Vacation and travel ( edit ) U.S. President George W. Bush visits Iraq to have Thanksgiving dinner with soldiers in November 2003 On Thanksgiving Day , families and friends usually gather for a large meal or dinner . Consequently , the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is one of the busiest travel periods of the year . Thanksgiving is a four - day or five - day weekend vacation for schools and colleges . Most business and government workers ( 78 % in 2007 ) are given Thanksgiving and the day after as paid holidays . Thanksgiving Eve , the night before Thanksgiving , is one of the busiest nights of the year for bars and clubs ( where it is often identified by the derogatory name Blackout Wednesday ) , as many college students and others return to their hometowns to reunite with friends and family . Criticism and controversy ( edit ) Much like Columbus Day , Thanksgiving is considered by some to be a `` national day of mourning '' , as a celebration of the cultural genocide and conquest of Native Americans by colonists . Thanksgiving has long carried a distinct resonance for Native Americans , who see the holiday as an embellished story of `` Pilgrims and Natives looking past their differences '' to break bread . Professor Dan Brook of the University of California , Berkeley condemns the `` cultural and political amnesia '' of Americans who celebrate Thanksgiving : `` We do not have to feel guilty , but we do need to feel something . '' Professor Robert Jensen of the University of Texas at Austin is somewhat harsher : `` One indication of moral progress in the United States would be the replacement of Thanksgiving Day and its self - indulgent family feasting with a National Day of Atonement accompanied by a self - reflective collective fasting . '' Some of the controversy regarding Thanksgiving have been used to justify the Christmas creep ( the act of putting up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving ) . Since 1970 , the United American Indians of New England , a protest group led by Frank `` Wamsutta '' James has accused the United States and European settlers of fabricating the Thanksgiving story and of whitewashing a genocide and injustice against Native Americans , and it has led a National Day of Mourning protest on Thanksgiving at Plymouth Rock in Plymouth , Massachusetts in the name of social equality and in honor of political prisoners . On November 27 , 1969 , as another notable example of anti-Thanksgiving sentiment , hundreds of supporters traveled to Alcatraz on Thanksgiving Day to celebrate the Occupation of Alcatraz ( which had started a week earlier and lasted until 1971 ) by Native Americans of All Tribes . The American Indian Movement and the Native American Church ( peyote religion ) both also hold a negative view of Thanksgiving ; the AIM has used it as a platform for protest , most notably when they took over a Mayflower float in a Thanksgiving Day parade . Some Native Americans hold `` Unthanksgiving Day '' celebrations in which they mourn the deaths of their ancestors , fast , dance , and pray . This tradition has been taking place since 1975 . Seminoles having a Thanksgiving Meal in the mid-1950s The perception of Thanksgiving among Native Americans is not , however , universally negative . Tim Giago , founder of the Native American Journalists Organization , seeks to reconcile Thanksgiving with Native American traditions . He compares Thanksgiving to `` wopila '' , a thanks - giving celebration practiced by Native Americans of the Great Plains . He wrote in The Huffington Post : `` The idea of a day of Thanksgiving has been a part of the Native American landscape for centuries . The fact that it is also a national holiday for all Americans blends in perfectly with Native American traditions . '' He also shares personal anecdotes of Native American families coming together to celebrate Thanksgiving . Members of the Oneida Indian Nation marched in the 2010 Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade with a float called `` The True Spirit of Thanksgiving '' and have done so every year since . In the early part of the twentieth century , the American Association for the Advancement of Atheism ( 4A ) opposed the celebration of Thanksgiving Day , offering an alternative observance called Blamegiving Day , which was in their eyes , `` a protest against Divine negligence , to be observed each year on Thanksgiving Day , on the assumption , for the day only , that God exists . '' Citing their view of the separation of church and state , some atheists in recent times have particularly criticized the annual recitation of Thanksgiving proclamations by the President of the United States , because these proclamations often revolve around the theme of giving thanks to God . The move by retailers to begin holiday sales during Thanksgiving Day ( as opposed to the traditional day after ) has been criticized as forcing ( under threat of being fired ) low - end retail workers , who compose an increasing share of the nation 's workforce , to work odd hours and to handle atypical , unruly crowds on a day reserved for rest . In response to this controversy , Macy 's and Best Buy ( both of which planned to open on Thanksgiving , even earlier than they had the year before ) stated in 2014 that most of their Thanksgiving Day shifts were filled voluntarily by employees who would rather have the day after Thanksgiving off instead of Thanksgiving itself . Blue laws in several Northeastern states prevent retailers in those states from opening on Thanksgiving . Such retailers typically open at midnight on the day after Thanksgiving to circumvent the laws as much as legally possible . Date ( edit ) Since being fixed on the fourth Thursday in November by law in 1941 , the holiday in the United States can occur on any date from November 22 to 28 . When it falls on November 22 or 23 , it is not the last Thursday , but the penultimate Thursday in November . Regardless , it is the Thursday preceding the last Saturday of November . Because Thanksgiving is a federal holiday , all United States government offices are closed and all employees are paid for that day . It is also a holiday for the New York Stock Exchange and most other financial markets and financial services companies . Table of dates ( 2000 -- 2103 ) ( edit ) The date of Thanksgiving Day follows a 28 - year cycle , broken only by century years that are not also a multiple of 400 ( 2100 , 2200 , 2300 , 2500 , ... ) . The cycle break is an effect of the leap year algorithm , which dictates that such years are common years as an adjustment for the calendar - season alignment that leap years provide . Past and future dates of celebration include : November 22 November 23 November 24 November 25 November 26 November 27 November 28 2000 2007 2006 2005 2003 2002 2012 2011 2009 2008 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2029 2028 2027 2026 2025 2024 2035 2034 2033 2032 2031 2030 2040 2039 2038 2037 2036 2046 2045 2044 2043 2042 2041 2051 2050 2049 2048 2047 2057 2056 2055 2054 2053 2052 2063 2062 2061 2060 2059 2058 2068 2067 2066 2065 2064 2074 2073 2072 2071 2070 2069 2079 2078 2077 2076 2075 2085 2084 2083 2082 2081 2080 2091 2090 2089 2088 2087 2086 2096 2095 2094 2093 2092 2103 2102 2101 2100 2099 2098 2097 Days after Thanksgiving ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources .

( November 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The day after Thanksgiving is a day off for some companies and most schools , particularly those that remain open on Columbus Day . It is known as Black Friday and has historically been known as a day for chaotic , early - morning sales at major retailers that were historically closed on Thanksgiving ; those who oppose the consumerist nature of the day can instead participate in Buy Nothing Day . The day after Thanksgiving is also Native American Heritage Day , a day to pay tribute to Native Americans for their many contributions to the United States . Small Business Saturday , a movement promoting shopping at smaller local establishments , takes place on the last Saturday in November , two days after Thanksgiving . Cyber Monday is a nickname given to the Monday following Thanksgiving ; the day evolved in the early days of the Internet , when consumers returning to work took advantage of their employers ' broadband Internet connections to do online shopping and retailers began offering sales to meet the demand . Giving Tuesday takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving . Literature ( edit ) `` A Hymn of Thanksgiving '' sheet music cover -- November 26 , 1899 .

"Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a public holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November[1] in the United States. It originated as a harvest festival. Thanksgiving has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, after Congress requested a proclamation by George Washington.[2] It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1863, when, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of \"Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens,\" to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November.[3][4] Together with Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader fall/winter holiday season in the U.S."

-4223268165267258116 | Law of demand | Law of demand - wikipedia Law of demand A demand curve , shown in red and shifting to the right , demonstrating the inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded ( the curve slopes downwards from left to right ; higher prices reduce the quantity demanded ) . : : : : : > This is not true , as shown on the graph where a higher price ( P1 - > P2 ) results in a greater quantity demanded ( Q1 - > Q2 ) . A shift of the demand curve does not result from a change in price ; it results from a change in demand . What should be shown is movement ALONG the demand curve ( D1 ) to a higher price point , which will result in a smaller quantity demanded . In microeconomics , the law of demand states that , `` conditional on all else being equal , as the price of a good increases ( ↑ ) , quantity demanded decreases ( ↓ ) ; conversely , as the price of a good decreases ( ↓ ) , quantity demanded increases ( ↑ ) '' . In other words , the law of demand describes an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded of a good . Alternatively , other things being constant , quantity demanded of a commodity is inversely related to the price of the commodity . For example , a consumer may demand 2 kilograms of apples at Rs 70 per kg ; he may , however , demand 1 kg if the price rises to Rs 80 per kg . This has been the general human behaviour on relationship between the price of the commodity and the quantity demanded . The factors held constant refer to other determinants of demand , such as the prices of other goods and the consumer 's income . There are , however , some possible exceptions to the law of demand , such as Giffen goods and Veblen goods . Contents ( hide ) 1 Mathematical expression 2 Terminology 3 Economic history and theory 4 Exceptions to the law of demand 4.1 Giffen goods 4.2 Expectation of change in the price of commodity 4.3 Basic or necessary goods 5 See also 6 References Mathematical expression ( edit ) Mathematically , the inverse relationship described by the law of demand may be expressed as : Q x = f ( P x ; Y ) , ∂ f / ∂ P x < 0 , ( \ displaystyle Q_ ( x ) = f ( P_ ( x ) ; ( \ mathbf ( Y ) ) ) , \ quad \ partial f / \ partial P_ ( x ) < 0 , ) where Q x ( \ displaystyle Q_ ( x ) ) is the quantity demanded of good x ( \ displaystyle x ) , P x ( \ displaystyle P_ ( x ) ) is the price of the good , f ( \ displaystyle f ) is the demand function , ∂ f / ∂ P x ( \ displaystyle \ partial f / \ partial P_ ( x ) ) is the partial derivative of the demand function with respect to P x ( \ displaystyle P_ ( x ) ) , and Y ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathbf ( Y ) ) ) is the list of other parameters held constant . The above equation , when plotted with quantity demanded ( Q x ( \ displaystyle Q_ ( x ) ) ) on the x ( \ displaystyle x ) - axis and price ( P x ( \ displaystyle P_ ( x ) ) ) on the y ( \ displaystyle y ) - axis , gives the demand curve , which is also known as the demand schedule . The downward sloping nature of a typical demand curve illustrates the inverse relationship between quantity demanded and price . Therefore , a downward sloping demand curve embeds the law of demand . Terminology ( edit ) Further information : Demand An increase in demand is depicted by a rightward shift in the demand curve , from DD0 to DD1 . At first , a consumer is willing to consume Q0 units of goods at the price P0 , shown by Point A. After their demand for the good increases , for the same quantity demanded Q0 , they are now willing to pay at price P1 , shown by Point B. For the original price P0 , they are now willing consume Q1 units , shown by Point C . Note that `` demand '' and `` quantity demanded '' are used to mean different things in economic jargon . On the one hand , `` demand '' refers to the entire demand curve , which is the relationship between quantity demanded and price . Changes in demand are due to changes in other determinants ( Y ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathbf ( Y ) ) ) ) , such as the income of consumers . Therefore , `` change in demand '' is used to mean that the relationship between quantity demanded and price has changed . Alfred Marshall worded this as : When then we say that a person 's demand for anything increases , we mean that he will buy more of it than he would before at the same price , and that he will buy as much of it as before at a higher price . Changes in demand is depicted graphically by a shift in the demand curve . On the other hand , `` quantity demanded '' refers to the quantity of goods consumers want for a given price , conditional on the other determinants . `` Changes in quantity demanded '' is depicted graphically by a movement along the demand curve . Economic history and theory ( edit ) The law of demand was documented as early as 1892 by economist Alfred Marshall . Due to the law 's general agreement with observation , economists have come to accept the validity of the law under most situations . Furthermore , researchers found that the success of the law of demand extends to animals such as rats , under laboratory settings . Exceptions to the law of demand ( edit ) Generally the amount demanded of a good increases with a decrease in price of the good and vice versa . In some cases , however , this may not be true . There are certain goods which do not follow this law . These include Veblen goods and Giffen goods . Further exception and details are given in the sections below . Giffen goods ( edit ) Initially proposed by Sir Robert Giffen , economists disagree on the existence of Giffen goods in the market . A Giffen good describes an inferior good that as the price increases , demand for the product increases . As an example , during the Irish Potato Famine of the 19th century , potatoes were considered a Giffen good . Potatoes were the largest staple in the Irish diet , so as the price rose it had a large impact on income . People responded by cutting out on luxury goods such as meat and vegetables , and instead bought more potatoes . Therefore , as the price of potatoes increased , so did the quantity demanded . Expectation of change in the price of commodity ( edit ) If an increase in the price of a commodity causes households to expect the price of a commodity to increase further , they may start purchasing a greater amount of the commodity even at the presently increased price . Similarly , if the household expects the price of the commodity to decrease , it may postpone its purchases . Thus , some argue that the law of demand is violated in such cases . In this case , the demand curve does not slope down from left to right ; instead it presents a backward slope from the top right to down left . This curve is known as an exceptional demand curve. prestigious goods also fail law of demand . Basic or necessary goods ( edit ) The goods which people need no matter how high the price is are basic or necessary goods . Medicines covered by insurance are a good example . An increase or decrease in the price of such a good does not affect its quantity demanded . These goods have a perfectly inelastic relationship , in that any change in price does not change the quantity demanded .

201374501561554406 | Peptidoglycan | Peptidoglycan - wikipedia Peptidoglycan Jump to : navigation , search Not to be confused with glycopeptide , proteoglycan , or glycoprotein . Peptidoglycan , also known as murein , is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh - like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria , forming the cell wall . The sugar component consists of alternating residues of β - ( 1 , 4 ) linked N - acetylglucosamine ( NAG ) and N - acetylmuramic acid ( NAM ) . Attached to the N - acetylmuramic acid is a peptide chain of three to five amino acids . The peptide chain can be cross-linked to the peptide chain of another strand forming the 3D mesh - like layer . Peptidoglycan serves a structural role in the bacterial cell wall , giving structural strength , as well as counteracting the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm . A common misconception is that peptidoglycan gives the cell its shape ; however , whereas peptidoglycan helps maintain the structural strength of the cell , it is actually the MreB protein that facilitates cell shape . Peptidoglycan is also involved in binary fission during bacterial cell reproduction . The peptidoglycan layer is substantially thicker in gram - positive bacteria ( 20 to 80 nanometers ) than in gram - negative bacteria ( 7 to 8 nanometers ) , with the attachment of the S - layer . Peptidoglycan forms around 90 % of the dry weight of gram - positive bacteria but only 10 % of gram - negative strains . Thus , presence of high levels of peptidoglycan is the primary determinant of the characterisation of bacteria as gram - positive . In gram - positive strains , it is important in attachment roles and serotyping purposes . For both gram - positive and gram - negative bacteria , particles of approximately 2 nm can pass through the peptidoglycan . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 2 Biosynthesis 3 Inhibition 4 Similarity to pseudopeptidoglycan 5 References 6 External links Structure ( edit ) Peptidoglycan . The peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial cell wall is a crystal lattice structure formed from linear chains of two alternating amino sugars , namely N - acetylglucosamine ( GlcNAc or NAGA ) and N - acetylmuramic acid ( MurNAc or NAMA ) . The alternating sugars are connected by a β - ( 1 , 4 ) - glycosidic bond . Each MurNAc is attached to a short ( 4 - to 5 - residue ) amino acid chain , containing L - alanine , D - glutamic acid , meso - diaminopimelic acid , and D - alanine in the case of Escherichia coli ( a Gram - negative bacterium ) or L - alanine , D - glutamine , L - lysine , and D - alanine with a 5 - glycine interbridge between tetrapeptides in the case of Staphylococcus aureus ( a gram - positive bacterium ) . Peptidoglycan is one of the most important sources of D - amino acids in nature . Cross-linking between amino acids in different linear amino sugar chains occurs with the help of the enzyme DD - transpeptidase and results in a 3 - dimensional structure that is strong and rigid . The specific amino acid sequence and molecular structure vary with the bacterial species . The structure of peptidoglycan . Gram - positive cell wall Penicillin binding protein forming cross-links in newly formed bacterial cell wall . Biosynthesis ( edit ) The peptidoglycan monomers are synthesized in the cytosol and are then attached to a membrane carrier bactoprenol . Bactoprenol transports peptidoglycan monomers across the cell membrane where they are inserted into the existing peptidoglycan . In the first step of peptidoglycan synthesis , glutamine , which is an amino acid , donates an amino group to a sugar , fructose 6 - phosphate . This turns fructose 6 - phosphate into glucosamine - 6 - phosphate . In step two , an acetyl group is transferred from acetyl CoA to the amino group on the glucosamine - 6 - phosphate creating N - acetyl - glucosamine - 6 - phosphate . In step three of the synthesis process , the N - acetyl - glucosamine - 6 - phosphate is isomerized , which will change N - acetyl - glucosamine - 6 - phosphate to N - acetyl - glucosamine - 1 - phosphate . In step 4 , the N - acetyl - glucosamine - 1 - phosphate , which is now a monophosphate , attacks UTP . Uridine triphosphate , which is a pyrimidine nucleotide , has the ability to act as an energy source . In this particular reaction , after the monophosphate has attacked the UTP , an inorganic pyrophosphate is given off and is replaced by the monophosphate , creating UDP - N - acetylglucosamine ( 2 , 4 ) . ( When UDP is used as an energy source , it gives off an inorganic phosphate . ) This initial stage , is used to create the precursor for the NAG in peptidoglycan . In step 5 , some of the UDP - N - acetylglucosamine ( UDP - GlcNAc ) is converted to UDP - MurNAc ( UDP - N - acetylmuramic acid ) by the addition of a lactyl group to the glucosamine . Also in this reaction , the C3 hydroxyl group will remove a phosphate from the alpha carbon of phosphenolpyruvate . This creates what is called an enol derivative that will be reduced to a `` lactyl moiety '' by NADPH in step six . In step 7 , the UDP -- MurNAc is converted to UDP - MurNAc pentapeptide by the addition of five amino acids , usually including the dipeptide D - alanyl - D - alanine . Each of these reactions requires the energy source ATP . This is all referred to as Stage one . Stage two occurs in the cytoplasmic membrane . It is in the membrane where a lipid carrier called bactoprenol carries peptidoglycan precursors through the cell membrane . Bactoprenol will attack the UDP - MurNAc penta , creating a PP - MurNac penta , which is now a lipid . UDP - GlcNAc is then transported to MurNAc , creating Lipid - PP - MurNAc penta - GlcNAc , a disaccharide , also a precursor to peptidoglycan . How this molecule is transported through the membrane is still not understood . However , once it is there , it is added to the growing glycan chain . The next reaction is known as tranglycosylation . In the reaction , the hydroxyl group of the GlcNAc will attach to the MurNAc in the glycan , which will displace the lipid - PP from the glycan chain . The enzyme responsible for this is transglycosylase . Inhibition ( edit ) Some antibacterial drugs such as penicillin interfere with the production of peptidoglycan by binding to bacterial enzymes known as penicillin - binding proteins or DD - transpeptidases . Penicillin - binding proteins form the bonds between oligopeptide crosslinks in peptidoglycan . For a bacterial cell to reproduce through binary fission , more than a million peptidoglycan subunits ( NAM - NAG + oligopeptide ) must be attached to existing subunits . Mutations in genes coding for transpeptidases that lead to reduced interactions with an antibiotic are a significant source of emerging antibiotic resistance . Lysozyme , which is found in tears and constitutes part of the body 's innate immune system exerts its antibacterial effect by breaking the β - ( 1 , 4 ) - glycosidic bonds in peptidoglycan ( see above ) . Similarity to pseudopeptidoglycan ( edit ) Some archaea have a similar layer of pseudopeptidoglycan ( also known as pseudomurein ) , in which the sugar residues are β - ( 1 , 3 ) linked N - acetylglucosamine and N - acetyltalosaminuronic acid . This makes the cell walls of such archaea insensitive to lysozyme .

A common misconception is that peptidoglycan gives the cell its shape; however, whereas peptidoglycan helps maintain the structural strength of the cell, it is actually the MreB protein that facilitates cell shape.[2][3][4] Peptidoglycan is also involved in binary fission during bacterial cell reproduction."

The song is a collaboration between Sheeran and the Irish folk band Beoga , and heavily influenced by Irish traditional music . On Saint Patrick 's Day 2017 , Sheeran announced the song as the third single from his album ÷ ( 2017 ) , accompanied by a lyric video . The song reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and number 1 on the Irish chart when it became available for download and streaming on the release of the album .

They decided to write this song after they had finished another song together at his house , and had some time free . In an interview with Zane Lowe , Sheeran said : `` I came up with this song with Foy , and Johnny and Amy . We were recording in Suffolk and we were just sitting in the garden , and we had Beoga , this Irish folk band , come and recording some other songs . And I was kinda like : Beoga would be here for two or three days , it would be a shame to waste them , shall we try and write another song ? ... They have a song called `` Minute 5 '' , which is that riff . So I just said : `` Can you try that on it ? '' And they did , and it sounded brilliant , so we just kept it . '' In an interview with The Irish Times , Sheeran said that the opening line of the song , `` She played the fiddle in an Irish band '' , was inspired by Niamh Dunne of Beoga , however , the rest of the song was made up and not about anyone in particular ( Dunne is from County Limerick and married an Irishman ) . According to Sheeran , he had to fight his record label to keep the song on his album : `` They were really , really against Galway Girl , because apparently folk music is n't cool . '' However , it went on to become the third most streamed song from ÷ on Spotify . The song was announced as the third single from the album on Saint Patrick 's Day , 17 March , and it was added to BBC Radio 2 's playlist on 18 March . Sheeran was aware that Steve Earle recorded a song with the same title in 2000 . In 2008 a cover of the Steve Earle song by Sharon Shannon and Mundy was a number one hit and highest selling single of the year in Ireland . Sheeran said in a BBC interview `` I actually tried to find another lyric . ( ... ) none of them worked . But the whole point of folk songs is taking inspiration from the past and making something new -- so people will just have to deal with it . '' . In a 2017 Dublin concert Sheeran played first verse and chorus of the Steve Earle song together with Beoga , followed by his own . Critical reception ( edit ) Amy Mulvaney from the Irish Independent gave the song a positive review , calling it `` Definitive proof of just how much he ( Ed ) likes Ireland '' and wrote `` With mentions of Grafton Street , `` Carrickfergus '' , fiddles , céilis , an Irish band and trad tunes , there 's no denying just how much the pop star loves our fair isle , and can see this becoming a sure fire hit over the next few weeks `` . BBC 6 Music DJ Shaun Keaveny described the song as `` Like finding a turd in your slipper '' , with Labour Party Deputy Leader Tom Watson asking , in reply , `` Good for warming your feet on a cold day ? '' Chart performance ( edit ) The song entered the UK chart at number 2 behind `` Shape of You '' when it became available for download on the album release . As of September 2017 , the song has sold 1.2 million combined units in the United Kingdom , with 246,000 in actual sales and 95 million in streams . In Ireland , it debuted at number one on the singles chart . It also reached number one chart position in Scotland and Slovenia . In the United States , the song peaked at number 53 , and has sold 210,813 copies as of October 2017 . Music video ( edit ) On 11 April 2017 , Sheeran shot the POV music video for `` Galway Girl '' in Galway , Ireland and filmed it himself on a Sony A6500 on body - mounted Ikan gimbal rigged to a Steadicam vest . The video was directed by Jason Koenig who also directed the `` Shape of You '' music video and director of photography Johnny Valencia . Galway Girl features Irish - American actress Saoirse Ronan .

Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21.5 hours on the lunar surface before rejoining Columbia in lunar orbit . Apollo 11 was launched by a Saturn V rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island , Florida , on July 16 at 9 : 32 am EDT ( 13 : 32 UTC ) and was the fifth manned mission of NASA 's Apollo program . The Apollo spacecraft had three parts : a command module ( CM ) with a cabin for the three astronauts , and the only part that returned to Earth ; a service module ( SM ) , which supported the command module with propulsion , electrical power , oxygen , and water ; and a lunar module ( LM ) that had two stages -- a descent stage for landing on the Moon , and an ascent stage to place the astronauts back into lunar orbit . After being sent to the Moon by the Saturn V 's third stage , the astronauts separated the spacecraft from it and traveled for three days until they entered into lunar orbit . Armstrong and Aldrin then moved into the lunar module Eagle and landed in the Sea of Tranquility . The astronauts used Eagle 's upper stage to lift off from the lunar surface and rejoin Collins in the command module . They jettisoned Eagle before they performed the maneuvers that blasted them out of lunar orbit on a trajectory back to Earth . They returned to Earth and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24 after more than eight days in space . The landing was broadcast on live TV to a worldwide audience . Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and described the event as `` one small step for ( a ) man , one giant leap for mankind . '' Apollo 11 effectively ended the Space Race and fulfilled a national goal proposed in 1961 by U.S. President John F. Kennedy : `` before this decade is out , of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth .

Armstrong Second spaceflight Command Module Pilot Michael Collins Second spaceflight Lunar Module Pilot Edwin `` Buzz '' E. Aldrin , Jr . Second spaceflight The crew assignment of Neil Armstrong as Commander , Jim Lovell as Command Module Pilot ( CMP ) and Buzz Aldrin as Lunar Module Pilot ( LMP ) was officially announced on November 20 , 1967 . Apollo 11 was the second all - veteran multi-person crew on an American mission , the first being that of Apollo 10 . An all - veteran crew would not be flown again until STS - 26 in 1988 . Lovell and Aldrin had previously flown together as the crew of Gemini 12 . The crew was initially assigned as the backup for Apollo 9 . Due to design and manufacturing delays in the Lunar Module ( LM ) , Apollo 8 and Apollo 9 swapped prime and backup crews , and Armstrong 's crew became the backup for Apollo 8 . Based on the normal crew rotation scheme , Armstrong was then expected to command Apollo 11 . There would be one change . Mike Collins on the Apollo 8 crew began experiencing trouble with his legs . Doctors diagnosed the problem as a bony growth between his fifth and sixth vertebrae , requiring surgery . Lovell took his place on the Apollo 8 crew , and , when he recovered , Collins joined Armstrong 's crew as CMP . In the meantime , Fred Haise filled in as backup LMP , and Aldrin as backup CMP for Apollo 8 . Backup crew Position Astronaut Commander James A. Lovell , Jr . Command Module Pilot William A. Anders Lunar Module Pilot Fred W. Haise , Jr . The backup crew consisted of Lovell as Commander , William Anders as CMP , and Haise as LMP . Anders had flown with Lovell on Apollo 8 . In early 1969 , he accepted a job with the National Space Council effective August 1969 and announced that he would retire as an astronaut on that date . At that point Ken Mattingly was moved from the support crew into parallel training with Anders as backup CMP in case Apollo 11 was delayed past its intended July launch , at which point Anders would be unavailable . Lovell , Haise , and Mattingly would ultimately be assigned as the prime crew of Apollo 13 . Support crew Charlie Duke , Capsule Communicator ( CAPCOM ) Ronald Evans ( CAPCOM ) Owen K.

Low to suggest the Apollo 11 crew be less flippant in naming their craft . During early mission planning , the names Snowcone and Haystack were used and put in the news release . The Command Module was named Columbia after the Columbiad , the giant cannon shell `` spacecraft '' fired by a giant cannon ( also from Florida ) in Jules Verne 's 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon . It also referenced Columbia , a personification of the United States . The Lunar Module was named Eagle for the national bird of the United States , the bald eagle , which was featured prominently on the mission insignia . Insignia Apollo 11 space - flown silver Robbins medallion The Apollo 11 mission insignia was designed by Collins , who wanted a symbol for `` peaceful lunar landing by the United States '' . At Lovell 's suggestion , he chose an eagle as the symbol , put an olive branch in its beak , and drew a lunar background with the Earth in the distance . The sunlight in the image was coming from the wrong direction ; the shadow should have been in the lower part of the Earth instead of the left . NASA officials felt that the talons of the eagle looked too `` warlike '' and after some discussion , the olive branch was moved to the claws . Armstrong was concerned that `` eleven '' would not be understood by non-English speakers , so they went with `` Apollo 11 '' ; they decided not to put their names on the patch , so it would `` be representative of everyone who had worked toward a lunar landing '' . All colors are natural , with blue and gold borders around the patch . When the Eisenhower dollar coin was released in 1971 , the patch design provided the eagle for its reverse side . The design was also used for the smaller Susan B. Anthony dollar unveiled in 1979 , ten years after the Apollo 11 mission . Mementos Neil Armstrong 's personal preference kit carried a piece of wood from the Wright brothers ' 1903 airplane 's left propeller and a piece of fabric from its wing , along with a diamond - studded astronaut pin originally given to Deke Slayton by the widows of the Apollo 1 crew . This pin had been intended to be flown on Apollo 1 and given to Slayton after the mission but following the disastrous launch pad fire and subsequent funerals , the widows gave the pin to Slayton and Armstrong took it on Apollo 11 . Mission highlights Launch and flight to lunar orbit Saturn V carrying Apollo 11 rises past the launch tower camera Earth seen from Apollo 11 just after leaving Earth orbit ( translunar injection ) Play media Taping at 500 fps of the engine ignition at launch In addition to many people crowding highways and beaches near the launch site , millions watched the event on television , with NASA Chief of Public Information Jack King providing commentary . President Richard M. Nixon viewed the proceedings from the Oval Office of the White House . A Saturn V launched Apollo 11 from Launch Pad 39A , part of the Launch Complex 39 site at the Kennedy Space Center on July 16 , 1969 , at 13 : 32 : 00 UTC ( 9 : 32 : 00 a.m. EDT local time ) . It entered Earth orbit , at an altitude of 100.4 nautical miles ( 185.9 km ) by 98.9 nautical miles ( 183.2 km ) , twelve minutes later . After one and a half orbits , the S - IVB third - stage engine pushed the spacecraft onto its trajectory toward the Moon with the trans - lunar injection ( TLI ) burn at 16 : 22 : 13 UTC . About 30 minutes later , the transposition , docking , and extraction maneuver was performed : this involved separating the Apollo Command / Service Module ( CSM ) from the spent rocket stage , turning around , and docking with the Lunar Module still attached to the stage . After the Lunar Module was extracted , the combined spacecraft headed for the Moon , while the rocket stage flew on a trajectory past the Moon and into orbit around the Sun . On July 19 at 17 : 21 : 50 UTC , Apollo 11 passed behind the Moon and fired its service propulsion engine to enter lunar orbit . In the thirty orbits that followed , the crew saw passing views of their landing site in the southern Sea of Tranquility ( Mare Tranquillitatis ) about 12 miles ( 19 km ) southwest of the crater Sabine D ( 0.67408 N , 23.47297 E ) . The landing site was selected in part because it had been characterized as relatively flat and smooth by the automated Ranger 8 and Surveyor 5 landers along with the Lunar Orbiter mapping spacecraft and unlikely to present major landing or extravehicular activity ( EVA ) challenges . Lunar descent The Eagle in lunar orbit after separating from Columbia CAPCOM Charles Duke , with backup pilots James Lovell and Fred Haise listening in during Apollo 11 's descent On July 20 , 1969 , the Lunar Module Eagle separated from the Command Module Columbia . Collins , alone aboard Columbia , inspected Eagle as it pirouetted before him to ensure the craft was not damaged . As the descent began , Armstrong and Aldrin found that they were passing landmarks on the surface four seconds early and reported that they were `` long '' ; they would land miles west of their target point . Five minutes into the descent burn , and 6,000 feet ( 1,800 m ) above the surface of the Moon , the LM navigation and guidance computer distracted the crew with the first of several unexpected `` 1202 '' and `` 1201 '' program alarms . Inside Mission Control Center in Houston , Texas , computer engineer Jack Garman told guidance officer Steve Bales it was safe to continue the descent , and this was relayed to the crew . The program alarms indicated `` executive overflows '' , meaning the guidance computer could not complete all of its tasks in real time and had to postpone some of them . Due to an error in the checklist manual , the rendezvous radar switch was placed in the wrong position . This caused it to send erroneous signals to the computer . The result was that the computer was being asked to perform all of its normal functions for landing while receiving an extra load of spurious data which used up 15 % of its time . The computer ( or rather the software in it ) was smart enough to recognize that it was being asked to perform more tasks than it should be performing . It then sent out an alarm , which meant to the astronaut , I 'm overloaded with more tasks than I should be doing at this time and I 'm going to keep only the more important tasks ; i.e. , the ones needed for landing ... Actually , the computer was programmed to do more than recognize error conditions . A complete set of recovery programs was incorporated into the software . The software 's action , in this case , was to eliminate lower priority tasks and re-establish the more important ones ... If the computer had n't recognized this problem and taken recovery action , I doubt if Apollo 11 would have been the successful moon landing it was . -- Letter from Margaret H. Hamilton , Director of Apollo Flight Computer Programming MIT Draper Laboratory , Cambridge , Massachusetts , titled `` Computer Got Loaded '' , published in Datamation , March 1 , 1971 Landing Play media Landing on the Moon , July 20 , 1969 Landing site of Apollo 11 at Sea of Tranquility Play media The Apollo 11 landing site visualized in three dimensions using photography and a stereo digital elevation model from the LRO camera . When Armstrong again looked outside , he saw that the computer 's landing target was in a boulder - strewn area just north and east of a 300 - meter ( 980 ft ) diameter crater ( later determined to be West crater , named for its location in the western part of the originally planned landing ellipse ) . Armstrong took semi-automatic control and , with Aldrin calling out altitude and velocity data , landed at 20 : 17 : 40 UTC on Sunday July 20 with about 25 seconds of fuel left . Apollo 11 landed with less fuel than other missions , and the astronauts encountered a premature low fuel warning . This was later found to be the result of greater propellant ' slosh ' than expected , uncovering a fuel sensor . On subsequent missions , extra anti-slosh baffles were added to the tanks to prevent this . Throughout the descent , Aldrin had called out navigation data to Armstrong , who was busy piloting the LM . A few moments before the landing , a light informed Aldrin that at least one of the 67 - inch ( 170 cm ) probes hanging from Eagle 's footpads had touched the surface , and he said : `` Contact light ! '' Three seconds later , Eagle landed and Armstrong said `` Shutdown . '' Aldrin immediately said `` Okay , engine stop . ACA -- out of detent . '' Armstrong acknowledged `` Out of detent . Auto '' and Aldrin continued `` Mode control -- both auto . Descent engine command override off . Engine arm -- off . 413 is in . '' Charles Duke , CAPCOM during the landing phase , acknowledged their landing by saying `` We copy you down , Eagle . '' Armstrong acknowledged Aldrin 's completion of the post landing checklist with `` Engine arm is off '' , before responding to Duke with the words , `` Houston , Tranquility Base here . The Eagle has landed . '' Armstrong 's unrehearsed change of call sign from `` Eagle '' to `` Tranquility Base '' emphasized to listeners that landing was complete and successful . Duke mispronounced his reply as he expressed the relief at Mission Control : `` Roger , Twan -- Tranquility , we copy you on the ground . You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue . We 're breathing again . Thanks a lot . '' Two and a half hours after landing , before preparations began for the EVA , Aldrin radioed to Earth : This is the LM pilot . I 'd like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in , whoever and wherever they may be , to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours and to give thanks in his or her own way . He then took communion privately . At this time NASA was still fighting a lawsuit brought by atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair ( who had objected to the Apollo 8 crew reading from the Book of Genesis ) demanding that their astronauts refrain from broadcasting religious activities while in space . As such , Aldrin chose to refrain from directly mentioning taking communion on the Moon . Aldrin was an elder at the Webster Presbyterian Church , and his communion kit was prepared by the pastor of the church , the Rev. Dean Woodruff . Aldrin described communion on the Moon and the involvement of his church and pastor in the October 1970 edition of Guideposts magazine and in his book Return to Earth . Webster Presbyterian possesses the chalice used on the Moon and commemorates the event each year on the Sunday closest to July 20 . The schedule for the mission called for the astronauts to follow the landing with a five - hour sleep period as they had been awake since early morning . However , they elected to forgo the sleep period and begin the preparations for the EVA early , thinking that they would be unable to sleep . Lunar surface operations See also : First Moon walk A mounted slowscan TV camera showing Armstrong as he climbs down the ladder to surface A photograph of Armstrong near the LM , taken by Aldrin on the lunar surface . This is one of the only photographs of Armstrong on the lunar surface ; most of the time he had the camera . The astronauts planned placement of the Early Apollo Scientific Experiment Package ( EASEP ) and the U.S. flag by studying their landing site through Eagle 's twin triangular windows , which gave them a 60 ° field of view . Preparation required longer than the two hours scheduled . Armstrong initially had some difficulties squeezing through the hatch with his Portable Life Support System ( PLSS ) . According to veteran Moon - walker John Young , a redesign of the LM to incorporate a smaller hatch had not been followed by a redesign of the PLSS backpack , so some of the highest heart rates recorded from Apollo astronauts occurred during LM egress and ingress . Several books indicate early mission timelines had Buzz Aldrin rather than Neil Armstrong as the first man on the Moon . At 02 : 39 UTC on Monday July 21 , 1969 , Armstrong opened the hatch , and at 02 : 51 UTC began his descent to the lunar surface . The Remote Control Unit controls on his chest kept him from seeing his feet . Climbing down the nine - rung ladder , Armstrong pulled a D - ring to deploy the Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly ( MESA ) folded against Eagle 's side and activate the TV camera , and at 02 : 56 : 15 UTC he set his left foot on the surface . The first landing used slow - scan television incompatible with commercial TV , so it was displayed on a special monitor and a conventional TV camera viewed this monitor , significantly reducing the quality of the picture . The signal was received at Goldstone in the United States but with better fidelity by Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station in Australia . Minutes later the feed was switched to the more sensitive Parkes radio telescope in Australia . Despite some technical and weather difficulties , ghostly black and white images of the first lunar EVA were received and broadcast to at least 600 million people on Earth . Although copies of this video in broadcast format were saved and are widely available , recordings of the original slow scan source transmission from the lunar surface were accidentally destroyed during routine magnetic tape re-use at NASA . The plaque left on the ladder of Eagle While still on the ladder , Armstrong uncovered a plaque mounted on the LM descent stage bearing two drawings of Earth ( of the Western and Eastern Hemispheres ) , an inscription , and signatures of the astronauts and President Nixon . The inscription read : Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon , July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind . After describing the surface dust as `` very fine - grained '' and `` almost like a powder , '' six and a half hours after landing , Armstrong stepped off Eagle 's footpad and declared , `` That 's one small step for ( a ) man , one giant leap for mankind . '' Armstrong intended to say `` That 's one small step for a man '' , but the word `` a '' is not audible in the transmission , and thus was not initially reported by most observers of the live broadcast . When later asked about his quote , Armstrong said he believed he said `` for a man '' , and subsequent printed versions of the quote included the `` a '' in square brackets . One explanation for the absence may be that his accent caused him to slur the words `` for a '' together ; another is the intermittent nature of the audio and video links to Earth , partly because of storms near Parkes Observatory . More recent digital analysis of the tape claims to reveal the `` a '' may have been spoken but obscured by static . That 's one small step ... Problems playing this file ? See media help . About seven minutes after stepping onto the Moon 's surface , Armstrong collected a contingency soil sample using a sample bag on a stick . He then folded the bag and tucked it into a pocket on his right thigh . This was to guarantee there would be some lunar soil brought back in case an emergency required the astronauts to abandon the EVA and return to the LM . Twelve minutes after the contingency sample was collected , Aldrin joined Armstrong on the surface , and described the view with the simple phrase , `` Magnificent desolation . '' Buzz Aldrin poses on the Moon , allowing Neil Armstrong to photograph both of them using the visor 's reflection In addition to fulfilling President Kennedy 's mandate to land a man on the Moon before the end of the 1960s , Apollo 11 was an engineering test of the Apollo system ; therefore , Armstrong snapped photos of the LM so engineers would be able to judge its post-landing condition . He removed the TV camera from the MESA and made a panoramic sweep , then mounted it on a tripod 68 feet ( 21 m ) from the LM . The TV camera cable remained partly coiled and presented a tripping hazard throughout the EVA . Armstrong said that moving in the lunar gravity , one - sixth of Earth 's , was `` even perhaps easier than the simulations ... It 's absolutely no trouble to walk around . '' Aldrin joined him on the surface and tested methods for moving around , including two - footed kangaroo hops . The PLSS backpack created a tendency to tip backward , but neither astronaut had serious problems maintaining balance . Loping became the preferred method of movement . The astronauts reported that they needed to plan their movements six or seven steps ahead . The fine soil was quite slippery . Aldrin remarked that moving from sunlight into Eagle 's shadow produced no temperature change inside the suit , though the helmet was warmer in sunlight , so he felt cooler in shadow . The astronauts planted a specially designed U.S. flag on the lunar surface , in clear view of the TV camera . Sometime later , President Richard Nixon spoke to them through a telephone - radio transmission which Nixon called `` the most historic phone call ever made from the White House . '' Nixon originally had a long speech prepared to read during the phone call , but Frank Borman , who was at the White House as a NASA liaison during Apollo 11 , convinced Nixon to keep his words brief , to respect the lunar landing as Kennedy 's legacy . Armstrong thanked the President , and gave a brief reflection on the significance of the moment : President Nixon speaks to Armstrong and Aldrin on the Moon Nixon : Hello , Neil and Buzz . I 'm talking to you by telephone from the Oval Room at the White House . And this certainly has to be the most historic telephone call ever made . I just ca n't tell you how proud we all are of what you 've done . For every American , this has to be the proudest day of our lives . And for people all over the world , I am sure they too join with Americans in recognizing what an immense feat this is . Because of what you have done , the heavens have become a part of man 's world . And as you talk to us from the Sea of Tranquility , it inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and tranquility to Earth . For one priceless moment in the whole history of man , all the people on this Earth are truly one : one in their pride in what you have done , and one in our prayers that you will return safely to Earth . Armstrong : Thank you , Mr. President . It 's a great honor and privilege for us to be here , representing not only the United States , but men of peace of all nations , and with interest and curiosity , and men with a vision for the future . It 's an honor for us to be able to participate here today . Aldrin bootprint ; part of an experiment to test the properties of the lunar regolith The MESA failed to provide a stable work platform and was in shadow , slowing work somewhat . As they worked , the moonwalkers kicked up gray dust which soiled the outer part of their suits , the integrated thermal meteoroid garment . They deployed the EASEP , which included a passive seismograph and a Lunar Ranging Retroreflector ( LRRR ) . Then Armstrong walked 196 feet ( 60 m ) from the LM to snap photos at the rim of Little West Crater while Aldrin collected two core tubes . He used the geological hammer to pound in the tubes -- the only time the hammer was used on Apollo 11 . The astronauts then collected rock samples using scoops and tongs on extension handles . Many of the surface activities took longer than expected , so they had to stop documenting sample collection halfway through the allotted 34 minutes . Map showing landing site and photos taken Three new minerals were discovered in the rock samples collected by the astronauts : armalcolite , tranquillityite , and pyroxferroite . Armalcolite was named after Armstrong , Aldrin , and Collins . During this period , Mission Control used a coded phrase to warn Armstrong that his metabolic rates were high and that he should slow down . He was moving rapidly from task to task as time ran out . However , as metabolic rates remained generally lower than expected for both astronauts throughout the walk , Mission Control granted the astronauts a 15 - minute extension . In a 2010 interview , Armstrong , who had walked a maximum of 196 feet ( 60 m ) from the LM , explained that NASA limited the first moonwalk 's time and distance because there was no empirical proof of how much cooling water the astronauts ' PLSS backpacks would consume to handle their body heat generation while working on the Moon . Lunar ascent and return Aldrin next to the Passive Seismic Experiment Package with Eagle in the background Aldrin entered Eagle first . With some difficulty the astronauts lifted film and two sample boxes containing 21.55 kilograms ( 47.5 lb ) of lunar surface material to the LM hatch using a flat cable pulley device called the Lunar Equipment Conveyor . Armstrong reminded Aldrin of a bag of memorial items in his suit pocket sleeve , and Aldrin tossed the bag down ; Armstrong then jumped to the ladder 's third rung and climbed into the LM . After transferring to LM life support , the explorers lightened the ascent stage for the return to lunar orbit by tossing out their PLSS backpacks , lunar overshoes , one Hasselblad camera , and other equipment . They then pressurized the LM and settled down to sleep . Wikisource has original text related to this article : In Event of Moon Disaster President Nixon 's speech writer William Safire had prepared In Event of Moon Disaster for the President to read on television in the event the Apollo 11 astronauts were stranded on the Moon . The contingency plan originated in a memo from Safire to Nixon 's White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman , in which Safire suggested a protocol the administration might follow in reaction to such a disaster . According to the plan , Mission Control would `` close down communications '' with the LM , and a clergyman would `` commend their souls to the deepest of the deep '' in a public ritual likened to burial at sea . The last line of the prepared text contained an allusion to Rupert Brooke 's First World War poem , `` The Soldier '' . The plan included presidential telephone calls to the astronauts ' wives . While moving inside the cabin , Aldrin accidentally damaged the circuit breaker that would arm the main engine for lift off from the Moon . There was a concern this would prevent firing the engine , stranding them on the Moon . Fortunately , a felt - tip pen was sufficient to activate the switch . Had this not worked , the Lunar Module circuitry could have been reconfigured to allow firing the ascent engine . After about seven hours of rest , the crew was awakened by Houston to prepare for the return flight . Two and a half hours later , at 17 : 54 UTC , they lifted off in Eagle 's ascent stage to rejoin Collins aboard Columbia in lunar orbit . After more than 211⁄2 total hours on the lunar surface , they had left behind scientific instruments that included a retroreflector array used for the Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment and a Passive Seismic Experiment Package used to measure moonquakes . They also left an Apollo 1 mission patch , and a memorial bag containing a gold replica of an olive branch as a traditional symbol of peace and a silicon message disk . The disk carries the goodwill statements by Presidents Eisenhower , Kennedy , Johnson , and Nixon and messages from leaders of 73 countries around the world . The disc also carries a listing of the leadership of the US Congress , a listing of members of the four committees of the House and Senate responsible for the NASA legislation , and the names of NASA 's past and present top management . ( In his 1989 book , Men from Earth , Aldrin says that the items included Soviet medals commemorating Cosmonauts Vladimir Komarov and Yuri Gagarin . ) Also , according to Deke Slayton 's book Moonshot , Armstrong carried with him a special diamond - studded astronaut pin from Slayton . Eagle 's ascent stage approaching Columbia Film taken from the LM Ascent Stage upon liftoff from the Moon reveals the American flag , planted some 25 feet ( 8 m ) from the descent stage , whipping violently in the exhaust of the ascent stage engine . Aldrin looked up in time to witness the flag topple : `` The ascent stage of the LM separated ... I was concentrating on the computers , and Neil was studying the attitude indicator , but I looked up long enough to see the flag fall over . '' Subsequent Apollo missions usually planted the American flags at least 100 feet ( 30 m ) from the LM to prevent them being blown over by the ascent engine exhaust . After rendezvous with Columbia , Eagle 's ascent stage was jettisoned into lunar orbit on July 21 , 1969 , at 23 : 41 UTC . Just before the Apollo 12 flight , it was noted that Eagle was still likely to be orbiting the Moon . Later NASA reports mentioned that Eagle 's orbit had decayed , resulting in it impacting in an `` uncertain location '' on the lunar surface . The location is uncertain because the Eagle ascent stage was not tracked after it was jettisoned , and the lunar gravity field is sufficiently non-uniform to make the orbit of the spacecraft unpredictable after a short time . NASA estimated that the orbit had decayed within months and would have impacted on the Moon . On July 23 , the last night before splashdown , the three astronauts made a television broadcast in which Collins commented : ... The Saturn V rocket which put us in orbit is an incredibly complicated piece of machinery , every piece of which worked flawlessly ... We have always had confidence that this equipment will work properly . All this is possible only through the blood , sweat , and tears of a number of a people ... All you see is the three of us , but beneath the surface are thousands and thousands of others , and to all of those , I would like to say , `` Thank you very much . '' Aldrin added : This has been far more than three men on a mission to the Moon ; more , still , than the efforts of a government and industry team ; more , even , than the efforts of one nation . We feel that this stands as a symbol of the insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore the unknown ... Personally , in reflecting on the events of the past several days , a verse from Psalms comes to mind . `` When I consider the heavens , the work of Thy fingers , the Moon and the stars , which Thou hast ordained ; What is man that Thou art mindful of him ? '' Armstrong concluded : The responsibility for this flight lies first with history and with the giants of science who have preceded this effort ; next with the American people , who have , through their will , indicated their desire ; next with four administrations and their Congresses , for implementing that will ; and then , with the agency and industry teams that built our spacecraft , the Saturn , the Columbia , the Eagle , and the little EMU , the spacesuit and backpack that was our small spacecraft out on the lunar surface . We would like to give special thanks to all those Americans who built the spacecraft ; who did the construction , design , the tests , and put their hearts and all their abilities into those craft . To those people tonight , we give a special thank you , and to all the other people that are listening and watching tonight , God bless you . Good night from Apollo 11 . On the return to Earth , a bearing at the Guam tracking station failed , potentially preventing communication on the last segment of the Earth return . A regular repair was not possible in the available time but the station director , Charles Force , had his ten - year - old son Greg use his small hands to reach into the housing and pack it with grease . Greg later was thanked by Armstrong . Splashdown and quarantine Columbia floats on the ocean as Navy divers assist in retrieving the astronauts The astronauts in their Biological Isolation Garments aboard the USS Hornet On July 24 , the astronauts returned home aboard the Command Module Columbia just before dawn local time ( 16 : 51 UTC ) at 13 ° 19 ′ N 169 ° 9 ′ W / 13.317 ° N 169.150 ° W / 13.317 ; - 169.150 ( Apollo 11 splashdown ) , in the Pacific Ocean 2,660 km ( 1,440 nmi ) east of Wake Island , 380 km ( 210 nmi ) south of Johnston Atoll , and 24 km ( 13 nmi ) from the recovery ship , USS Hornet . This is near the village of Vatia in American Samoa . The American Samoa - flag which was brought to the moon by Apollo 11 is on display at the Jean P. Haydon Museum in Pago Pago , the territorial capital of American Samoa . At 16 : 44 UTC the drogue parachutes had been deployed and seven minutes later the Command Module struck the water forcefully . During splashdown , the Command Module landed upside down but was righted within 10 minutes by flotation bags triggered by the astronauts . `` Everything 's okay . Our checklist is complete . Awaiting swimmers '' , was Armstrong 's last official transmission from Columbia . A diver from the Navy helicopter hovering above attached a sea anchor to the Command Module to prevent it from drifting . Additional divers attached flotation collars to stabilize the module and position rafts for astronaut extraction . Though the chance of bringing back pathogens from the lunar surface was considered remote , it was considered a possibility and NASA took great precautions at the recovery site . Divers provided the astronauts with Biological Isolation Garments ( BIGs ) which were worn until they reached isolation facilities on board the Hornet . Additionally , astronauts were rubbed down with a sodium hypochlorite solution and the Command Module wiped with Betadine to remove any lunar dust that might be present . The raft containing decontamination materials was then intentionally sunk . A second Sea King helicopter - `` Helicopter 66 '' - hoisted the astronauts aboard one by one , where a NASA flight surgeon gave each a brief physical check during the 0.5 nautical miles ( 930 m ) trip back to the Hornet . The crew of Apollo 11 in quarantine after returning to Earth , visited by Richard Nixon After touchdown on the Hornet , the astronauts exited the helicopter , leaving the flight surgeon and three crewmen . The helicopter was then lowered into hangar bay # 2 where the astronauts walked the 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) to the Mobile Quarantine Facility ( MQF ) where they would begin the earth - based portion of their 21 days of quarantine . This practice would continue for two more Apollo missions , Apollo 12 and Apollo 14 , before the Moon was proven to be barren of life and the quarantine process dropped . President Richard Nixon was aboard Hornet to personally welcome the astronauts back to Earth . He told the astronauts , `` As a result of what you 've done , the world has never been closer together before . '' After Nixon departed , the Hornet was brought alongside the five - ton Command Module where it was placed aboard by the ship 's crane , placed on a dolly and moved next to the MQF . The Hornet sailed for Pearl Harbor where Columbia and the MQF were airlifted to the Manned Spacecraft Center . In accordance with the Extra-Terrestrial Exposure Law , a set of regulations promulgated by NASA on July 16 to codify its quarantine protocol , the astronauts continued in quarantine out of concern that the Moon might contain undiscovered pathogens and that the astronauts might have been exposed to them during their Moon walks . However , after three weeks in confinement ( first in the Apollo spacecraft , then in their trailer on the Hornet , and finally in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory at the Manned Spacecraft Center ) , the astronauts were given a clean bill of health . On August 10 , 1969 , the Interagency Committee on Back Contamination met in Atlanta and lifted the quarantine on the astronauts , on those who had joined them in quarantine ( NASA physician William Carpentier and MQF project engineer John Hirasaki ) , and on Columbia itself . Loose equipment from the spacecraft would remain in isolation until the lunar samples were released for study . Celebration Parade in New York City On August 13 , they rode in parades in their honor in New York , Chicago , and Los Angeles . On the same evening in Los Angeles there was an official State Dinner to celebrate the flight , attended by members of Congress , 44 governors , the Chief Justice of the United States , and ambassadors from 83 nations at the Century Plaza Hotel . President Richard Nixon and Vice President Spiro T. Agnew honored each astronaut with a presentation of the Presidential Medal of Freedom . This celebration was the beginning of a 45 - day `` Giant Leap '' tour that brought the astronauts to 25 foreign countries and included visits with prominent leaders such as Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom . Many nations honored the first manned Moon landing with special features in magazines or by issuing Apollo 11 commemorative postage stamps or coins . On September 16 , 1969 , the three astronauts spoke before a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill . They presented two US flags , one to the House of Representatives and the other to the Senate , that had been carried to the surface of the Moon with them . Moon Race Artist 's impression of Luna 15 The Soviet Union had been competing with the US in landing a man on the Moon but had been hampered by repeated failures in development of a launcher comparable to the Saturn V. Meanwhile , they tried to beat the US to return lunar material to the Earth by means of unmanned probes . On July 13 , three days before Apollo 11 's launch , they launched Luna 15 , which reached lunar orbit before Apollo 11 . During descent , a malfunction caused Luna 15 to crash in Mare Crisium about two hours before Armstrong and Aldrin took off from the Moon 's surface to begin their voyage home . The Jodrell Bank Observatory radio telescope in England was later discovered to have recorded transmissions from Luna 15 during its descent , and this was published in July 2009 on the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 . Legacy Spacecraft location Command Module Columbia at the National Air and Space Museum Lunar Module landing site photographed by the LRO in 2012 The Command Module Columbia was displayed at the National Air and Space Museum ( NASM ) , Washington , D.C. It was in the central Milestones of Flight exhibition hall in front of the Jefferson Drive entrance , sharing the main hall with other pioneering flight vehicles such as the Wright Flyer , the Spirit of St. Louis , the Bell X-1 , the North American X-15 , Mercury spacecraft Friendship 7 , and Gemini 4 . Armstrong 's and Aldrin 's space suits are displayed in the museum 's Apollo to the Moon exhibit . The quarantine trailer , the flotation collar , and the righting spheres are displayed at the Smithsonian 's Steven F. Udvar - Hazy Center annex near Washington Dulles International Airport in Chantilly , Virginia . The descent stage of the Lunar Module Eagle remains on the Moon . In 2009 , the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter ( LRO ) imaged the various Apollo landing sites on the surface of the Moon , for the first time with sufficient resolution to see the descent stages of the lunar modules , scientific instruments , and foot trails made by the astronauts . The remains of the ascent stage are presumed to lie at an unknown location on the lunar surface , after being abandoned and reimpacting the Moon . In March 2012 a team of specialists financed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos located the F - 1 engines that launched Apollo 11 into space . The engines were found below the Atlantic Ocean 's surface through the use of advanced sonar scanning . His team brought parts of two of the five engines to the surface . In July 2013 , a conservator discovered a serial number under the rust on one of the engines raised from the Atlantic , which NASA confirmed was from the Apollo 11 launch . Command Module Columbia at the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar Columbia was moved in 2017 to the NASM Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar - Hazy Center in Chantilly , Virginia , to be readied for a four - city tour titled Destination Moon : The Apollo 11 Mission . This will include Space Center Houston ( October 14 , 2017 to March 18 , 2018 ) , the Saint Louis Science Center ( April 14 to September 3 , 2018 ) , the Senator John Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh ( September 29 , 2018 to February 18 , 2019 ) , and the Seattle Museum of Flight ( March 16 to September 2 , 2019 ) . The S - IVB stage which performed Apollo 11 's trans - lunar injection remains in a solar orbit near to that of Earth . 40th anniversary events Mike Simons , director of the National Electronics Museum , assembles an Apollo TV camera for display at the Newseum On July 15 , 2009 , Life.com released a photo gallery of previously unpublished photos of the astronauts taken by Life photographer Ralph Morse prior to the Apollo 11 launch . From July 16 -- 24 , 2009 , NASA streamed the original mission audio on its website in real time 40 years to the minute after the events occurred . In addition , it is in the process of restoring the video footage and has released a preview of key moments . In July 2010 , air - to - ground voice recordings and film footage shot in Mission Control during the Apollo 11 powered descent and landing was re-synchronised and released for the first time . The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum set up a Flash website that rebroadcasts the transmissions of Apollo 11 from launch to landing on the Moon . On July 20 , 2009 , the crew of Armstrong , Aldrin , and Collins met with U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House . `` We expect that there is , as we speak , another generation of kids out there who are looking up at the sky and are going to be the next Armstrong , Collins , and Aldrin '' , Obama said . `` We want to make sure that NASA is going to be there for them when they want to take their journey . '' On August 7 , 2009 , an act of Congress awarded the three astronauts a Congressional Gold Medal , the highest civilian award in the United States . The bill was sponsored by Florida Sen. Bill Nelson and Florida Rep. Alan Grayson . A group of British scientists interviewed as part of the anniversary events reflected on the significance of the Moon landing : It was carried out in a technically brilliant way with risks taken ... that would be inconceivable in the risk - averse world of today ... The Apollo programme is arguably the greatest technical achievement of mankind to date ... nothing since Apollo has come close ( to ) the excitement that was generated by those astronauts -- Armstrong , Aldrin and the 10 others who followed them . Gallery Roll - out of Saturn V AS - 505 from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad The Earth as seen from Apollo 11 on the third day out Play media Neil Armstrong describes the Moon 's surface before setting foot on it The Washington Post on Monday , July 21 , 1969 : `` ' The Eagle Has Landed ' -- Two Men Walk on the Moon '' Notes Jump up ^ During the mission , the cause was diagnosed as the rendezvous radar switch being in the wrong position , causing the computer to process data from both the rendezvous and landing radars at the same time , as stated in the letter . However , software engineer Don Eyles concluded in a 2005 Guidance and Control Conference paper that the problem was actually due to a hardware design bug previously seen during testing of the first unmanned LM for Apollo 5 . Having the rendezvous radar on ( so that it was warmed up in case of an emergency landing abort ) should have been irrelevant to the computer , but an electrical phasing mismatch between two parts of the rendezvous radar system could cause the stationary antenna to appear to the computer as dithering back and forth between two positions , depending upon how the hardware randomly powered up . The extra spurious cycle stealing , as the rendezvous radar updated an involuntary counter , caused the computer alarms . The Apollo onboard flight software for both the CM and LM was developed using an asynchronous executive so that higher priority jobs could interrupt lower priority jobs . The sequence that occurred in the Apollo 11 landing was successful because of its global error detection and recovery system . This included the restart capability to `` kill and start over again '' and recompute and the display interface routines ( `` priority displays '' ) providing the ability , in the case of an emergency , to interrupt nominal displays with higher priority alarm displays . Steps previously taken to create solutions that took advantage of this multiprogramming environment suggested solutions for multiprocessing . Although only one process is actively executing at a given time in a multiprogramming environment , other processes in the same system ― sleeping or waiting ― exist in parallel with the executing process . With this as a backdrop , the priority display mechanisms were created , essentially changing the man - machine interface between the astronauts and the onboard flight software from synchronous to asynchronous displays so that a mission could be reconfigured in real time should it become necessary to do so .

A mixed - use , primarily residential development , it is the tallest residential building in San Francisco . The blue - gray glass , late - modernist buildings are bounded by Mission , Fremont , and Beale Streets , and the north end of the Transbay Transit Center site . Opened to residents on April 23 , 2009 , 301 Mission includes two buildings : a 12 - story tower located on the northeast of the property , and Millennium Tower , a 58 - story , 645 - foot - tall ( 197 m ) condominium skyscraper . In total , the project has 419 residential units , with 53 of those units in the smaller tower . The tower 's highest level , 58 floors above the ground , is listed as the 60th , because floors 13 and 44 are missing for superstitious reasons . The French restaurant and wine bar International Smoke is housed on the ground floor of the skyscraper . Resident services include a private concierge and access to the 20,000 - square - foot ( 1,900 m ) Owner 's Club Level , which features amenities such as a private lounge , wine cellar , and fitness center . The development 's `` lifestyle '' program organizes cultural events . In May 2016 , residents were informed the main tower was both sinking and tilting , resulting in several lawsuits concerning repair costs and whether the tilt had been withheld from buyers . Contents 1 Description 2 History 3 Sinking and tilting problem 4 Awards 5 Notable residents 6 Gallery 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Description ( edit ) Developed by Mission Street Development LLC , an affiliate of Millennium Partners , the US $350 million project was designed by Handel Architects , engineered by DeSimone Consulting Engineers and constructed by Webcor Builders . At 645 feet ( 197 m ) , it is the tallest concrete structure in San Francisco , the fourth tallest building in San Francisco overall , and the tallest since 345 California Street in 1986 . It was also the tallest residential building west of the Mississippi River when finished ( later surpassed by The Austonian in Texas ) . The tower is slender , with each floor containing 14,000 square feet ( 1,300 m ) of floor space . In addition to the 58 - story tower , there is a 125 - foot ( 38 m ) , 11 - story tower on the northeast end of the complex . Between the two towers is a 43 - foot ( 13 m ) , two - story glass atrium . In total , the project has 419 units . The residences are pricey ; a penthouse unit sold for US $13 million in December 2016 . The bottom 25 floors of the main tower are called Residences while the floors from 26 to the top have the name Grand Residences . ( As is common in many high - rises , there is no thirteenth floor because of superstitions about triskaidekaphobia . Neither is there a forty - fourth floor , because the number four is considered unlucky by many Asians . ) The 53 units in the separate 12 - story tower are called the City Residences . Below street level , there are 434 parking spaces in a five - level subterranean garage located under the 11 - story tower . The building is located next to the site of the future Transbay Transit Center . Overall , the tower 's design is intended to resemble a translucent crystal , and is a landmark for the Transbay Redevelopment and the southern skyline of San Francisco . The development is also home to International Smoke , a restaurant and bar under the direction of Ayesha Curry and Chef Michael Mina , located on the ground floor of the skyscraper . History ( edit ) The Millennium Tower in August 2016 Millennium Partners first proposed the development in 2002 with 163 condominiums , 108 rentals and a 136 - unit `` extended stay '' hotel rooms . The project was approved in 2003 by the S.F. Planning Commission 4 -- 1 and construction began in 2005 . The only against vote came from Planning Commissioner Sue Lee . The development was the first high rise built downtown in 20 years . According to Modern Luxury , a proposed 52 - story skyscraper at nearby 80 Natoma by developer Jack Myers which would also have a similar poured concrete construction , was rejected by the city 's Department of Building Inspections ( DBI ) after an outside peer review . The Millennium Tower received no such scrutiny , since Millennium Partners would not submit to a peer review , as that study would have potentially delayed construction by years . On September 6 , 2010 , Dan Goodwin , also known as SpiderDan and Skyscraperman , scaled the outside of the tower using suction cups . Following the climb , Goodwin was arrested by the San Francisco police , who charged him with trespassing and creating a public nuisance . In 2013 , the building sold its final unit , generating US $750 million in total sales , a 25 percent return on the estimated US $600 million in development costs . Sinking and tilting problem ( edit ) TTC construction next to the tower After developers apparently disclosed in 2015 that the building was sinking and tilting , the public was notified of the problem in 2016 . The foundation of the main tower is a concrete slab built on 60 -- 90 - foot - deep ( 18 -- 27 m ) concrete friction piles through the fill and Young Bay Mud , and embedded into dense Colma sand . A number of other buildings in 301 Mission Street 's area have used similar systems , although due to varying earth conditions , others have pushed piles directly into the bedrock 200 feet ( 61 m ) below . An examination in 2016 showed the building had sunk 16 inches ( 41 cm ) with a two - inch ( 5.1 cm ) tilt at the base and an approximate six - inch ( 15 cm ) tilt at the top of the tower . The building is leaning toward the northwest . The developer blames the sinking problem on the Transbay Joint Powers Authority ( TJPA ) , who were responsible for construction of the neighboring Transbay Transit Center ( TTC ) . However , the sinking problem had reportedly started before TTC construction even broke ground , and TJPA asserted the building had already settled 10 inches ( 25 cm ) , well past the original maximum vertical settling prediction of 5.5 inches ( 14 cm ) in 20 years , by the time TJPA began removing the timber piles under the prior Transbay Terminal in 2011 . The building 's homeowners association , represented by general counsel Adrian Adams of Adams Stirling PLC , retained Dan Petrocelli of O'Melveny & Myers , to sue Webcor , Millennium Partners , and the TJPA . Originally , the homeowners association had hired David Casselman to sue the TJPA instead of developer Millennium Partners , as Casselman noted that `` inverse condemnation law allows residents to collect legal fees on top of any award , whereas suing the developer will steer up to 40 percent of any award to lawyers '' . Another group of tenants who disagree with the homeowners association , led by resident and patent litigator Jerry Dodson , is suing Millennium Partners , the City of San Francisco , and the TJPA . In breaking with Casselman and the homeowners association , Dodson has regarded Millennium Partners as the responsible culprit . In November 2016 , the city of San Francisco filed suit against the tower 's developer Mission Street Developers LLC , claiming that the developers withheld information on the sinking problems from potential apartment buyers . Mission Street Developers rejected the city 's claims . Sage Engineers has been hired by Millennium Partners to provide an engineering study on the sinking problem . Some experts have prognosticated that the cost to fix the tilt could exceed the liability insurance held by Millennium Partners and the building 's various construction vendors . If the TJPA is found to be at fault , San Francisco taxpayers could end up paying for the repairs . As of 2017 , a city inspection has found that the building is still safe to occupy , though there has been damage to the foundation and electrical system . In March 2017 , the homeowners association filed suit against Millennium Partners , Webcor , Handel Architects , Treadwell & Rollo , Langan , DeSimone Consulting Engineers , Arup , and Transbay Joint Powers Authority . They are seeking $200 million to cover repairs and damages .

As she grows up , Dory attempts to search for them , but gradually forgets them due to her short - term memory loss . In the flashback of the previous film , Finding Nemo , she joins Marlin -- a clownfish looking for his missing son Nemo -- after accidentally swimming into him . One year later , Dory is living with Marlin and Nemo on their reef . One day , Dory has a flashback and remembers that she has parents . She decides to look for them , but her memory problem is an obstacle . She eventually remembers that they lived at the Jewel of Morro Bay across the ocean in California , thanks to Nemo mentioning its name . Marlin and Nemo accompany Dory . With the help of Crush , their sea turtle friend , they ride a water current to California . Upon arrival , they explore a shipwreck full of destroyed cargo , where Dory accidentally awakens a giant squid , who immediately pursues them and almost devours Nemo . Marlin berates Dory for endangering them . Her feelings hurt , Dory travels to the surface to seek help and is captured by staff members from the nearby Marine Life Institute after getting entangled in six pack rings . Dory is placed in the quarantine section and tagged . There she meets a grouchy , but well - meaning octopus named Hank . Dory 's tag shows that she will be sent to an aquarium in Cleveland . Due to a traumatic ocean life , Hank wants to live in the aquarium instead of being released back into the ocean , so he agrees to help Dory find her parents in exchange for her tag . In one exhibit , Dory encounters her childhood friend Destiny , a nearsighted whale shark , who used to communicate with Dory through pipes , and Bailey , a beluga whale , who mistakenly believes he has lost his ability to echolocate . Dory subsequently has flashbacks of life with her parents , and struggles to recall details . She finally remembers how she was separated from her parents : she overheard her mother crying one night , left to retrieve a shell to cheer her up , and was pulled away by an undertow current . Marlin and Nemo attempt to rescue Dory . With the help of two California sea lions named Fluke and Rudder and a disfigured common loon named Becky , they manage to get into the institute and find her in the pipe system . Other blue tangs tell them that Dory 's parents escaped from the institute a long time ago to search for her and never came back , leaving Dory believing that they have died . Hank retrieves Dory from the tank , accidentally leaving Marlin and Nemo behind . He is then apprehended by one of the employees and unintentionally drops Dory into the drain , flushing her out to the ocean . While wandering aimlessly , she comes across a trail of shells ; remembering that when she was young , her parents had set out a similar trail to help her find her way back home , she follows it . At the end of the trail , Dory finds an empty brain coral with multiple shell trails leading to it . As she turns to leave , she sees her parents Jenny and Charlie in the distance . They tell her they spent years laying down the trails for her to follow in the hopes that she would eventually find them . Marlin , Nemo , and Hank end up in the truck taking various aquatic creatures to Cleveland . Destiny and Bailey escape from their exhibit to help Dory rescue them . Once on board the truck , Dory persuades Hank to return to the sea with her , and together , they hijack the truck and drive it over busy highways , creating havoc , before crashing it into the sea , freeing all the fish . Dory , along with her parents and new friends , return to the reef with Marlin and Nemo . In a post-credits scene , the tank gang from the first film , still trapped inside their ( now algae - covered ) plastic bags , reach California one year after floating across the Pacific Ocean . They are eventually picked up by staff members from the Marine Life Institute . Voice cast ( edit ) Ellen DeGeneres as Dory , a regal blue tang , who suffers from short - term memory loss .

Production ( edit ) Prior to work on Finding Dory , Disney had planned to make a Finding Nemo sequel without Pixar 's involvement , through Circle 7 Animation , a studio Disney announced in 2005 with the intention to make sequels to Pixar properties . However , due to the 2006 acquisition of Pixar by Disney , Circle 7 was shut down by Disney without ever having produced a film . Director Andrew Stanton at the 2016 Annecy International Animated Film Festival In July 2012 , it was reported that Andrew Stanton was developing a sequel to Finding Nemo , with Victoria Strouse writing the script and a release date scheduled for 2016 . However , the same day the news of a potential sequel broke , Stanton posted a message on his personal Twitter calling into question the accuracy of these reports . The message said , `` Did n't you all learn from Chicken Little ? Everyone calm down . Do n't believe everything you read . Nothing to see here now . # skyisnotfalling . '' According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter published in August 2012 , Ellen DeGeneres was in negotiations to reprise her role of Dory . In September 2012 , it was confirmed by Stanton , saying : `` What was immediately on the list was writing a second Carter movie . When that went away , everything slid up . I know I 'll be accused by more sarcastic people that it 's a reaction to Carter not doing well , but only in its timing , but not in its conceit . '' In February 2013 , it was confirmed by the press that Albert Brooks would reprise the role of Marlin in the sequel . In April 2013 , Disney announced the sequel , Finding Dory , for November 25 , 2015 , confirming that DeGeneres and Brooks would be reprising their roles as Dory and Marlin , respectively . Following a long campaign for a sequel on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , DeGeneres stated : I have waited for this day for a long , long , long , long , long , long time . I 'm not mad it took this long . I know the people at Pixar were busy creating Toy Story 16 . But the time they took was worth it . The script is fantastic . And it has everything I loved about the first one : It 's got a lot of heart , it 's really funny , and the best part is -- it 's got a lot more Dory . In a July 2013 interview with Los Angeles Times , Stanton spoke of the sequel 's origin : `` There was polite inquiry from Disney ( about a Finding Nemo sequel ) . I was always ' No sequels , no sequels . ' But I had to get on board from a VP standpoint . ( Sequels ) are part of the necessity of our staying afloat , but we do n't want to have to go there for those reasons . We want to go there creatively , so we said ( to Disney ) , ' Can you give us the timeline about when we release them ? Because we 'd like to release something we actually want to make , and we might not come up with it the year you want it . ' '' In a 2016 interview Stanton stated how the film 's story came to be ; `` I do n't watch my films that often after they 're done because I have to watch them so many times before they come out . So about 2010 when we were getting Finding Nemo ready for the 10 - year re-release in 3D , it was interesting to watch again after all that time . Something kind of got lodged in the back of my brain and started to sort of stew . I started to think about how easily Dory could get lost and not find Marlin and Nemo again . She basically was in the same state that she was when Marlin found her . I did n't know where she was from . I knew that she had spent most of her youth wandering the ocean alone , and I wanted to know that she could find her new family , if she ever got lost again . It 's almost like the parental side of me was worried . '' Stanton additionally stated : `` I knew if I ever said Finding Dory or mentioned a sequel to Finding Nemo out loud , I 'd be done , ( T ) here would be no way I 'd be able to put that horse back in the barn . So I kept it very quiet until I knew I had a story that I thought would hold , and that was in early 2012 . So I pitched it to John Lasseter and he was all into it . Then I got a writer , and once we had a treatment that we kind of liked , I felt comfortable calling Ellen . '' Stanton selected Victoria Strouse to write the screenplay . She later said , `` It was always collaborative with Andrew , but really the screenwriting was me . Of course , Andrew would do passes , and he and I would brainstorm a lot together and then we would bring it to the group of story artists . People would weigh in and share ideas . '' She pointed to Dory 's forgetfulness as a challenge when writing the script , adding , `` You do n't realize until you sit down to write a character who ca n't remember things how integral memory is to absolutely everything we do , and that 's what creates a narrative that people can follow . When a main character ca n't self - reflect and ca n't tell a story , that character is very difficult to design because she ca n't really lead . To get her to be able to lead and to get an audience to be able to trust her was the hardest thing to do . '' The fictional Marine Life Institute depicted extensively in the film is based on the production team 's research trips to the Monterey Bay Aquarium , the Marine Mammal Center and the Vancouver Aquarium . The film 's ending was revised after Pixar executives viewed Blackfish , a 2013 documentary film which focuses on the dangers of keeping orca whales in captivity . Initially , some of the characters were to end up in a SeaWorld - like marine park , but the revision gave them an option to leave . On September 18 , 2013 , it was announced that the film would be pushed back to a June 17 , 2016 , release . Pixar 's The Good Dinosaur was moved to the November 25 , 2015 , release window to allow more time for production of the film . Co-director Angus MacLane at a Finding Dory premiere Angus MacLane was one of the first people to whom Stanton revealed his idea for the sequel . Together , with Bob Peterson , they discussed about different ideas for places Dory would visit during her journey -- one of those ideas was the touch pool sequence . Later , during the Brave ( 2012 ) wrap party , Stanton invited Angus to join him in his first co-directing duty . Stanton described Angus ' role as a `` jack of all trades '' , particularly utilizing his experience in animation and story , as well as in production , having created a few short films himself . In August 2015 , at Disney 's D23 Expo , it was announced that Hayden Rolence would voice Nemo , replacing Alexander Gould from the first film , whose voice has deepened since reaching adulthood ( Gould voiced a minor character in the sequel instead ) . At the D23 expo they also announced that Ed O'Neill would be the voice of Hank . To make the light more realistic , RenderMan was completely re-engineered , its biggest change in 25 years .

It continued to dominate the box office for the third straight weekend , despite competitions from three new wide releases -- The Legend of Tarzan , The Purge : Election Year , and fellow Disney release The BFG -- after witnessing a 42 % decline to $41.8 million in three days and $51.4 million in four days , respectively , during the Independence Day holiday frame .

Although the film was finally overtaken by The Secret Life of Pets ( and The Legend of Tarzan in second place ) in its fourth weekend , it nevertheless passed The Lion King to become the highest - grossing Disney animated film of all time in the same weekend , surpassing the latter which held the record for 15 non-consecutive years . In just 30 days , it overtook Shrek 2 ( $441.2 million ) to become the highest - grossing animated film of all time , breaking the latter 's record of 12 years .

Critical Response ( edit ) On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , Finding Dory has an approval rating of 94 % based on 302 reviews and an average rating of 7.6 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Funny , poignant , and thought - provoking , Finding Dory delivers a beautifully animated adventure that adds another entertaining chapter to its predecessor 's classic story . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 77 out of 100 , based on 48 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale , while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it a 91 % overall positive score and an 81 % `` definite recommend '' . Mike Ryan of Uproxx gave the film a positive review , saying : `` I never thought I wanted a sequel to Finding Nemo , but here we are and I 'm pretty happy it exists . And , for me , it was a more emotional experience than the first film . Finding Dory got me -- it made me cry . '' A.O. Scott of The New York Times said that while the film lacks `` dazzling originality '' , he overall wrote , `` it more than makes up for in warmth , charm and good humor '' . In his review for Variety , Owen Gleiberman wrote , `` It 's a film that spills over with laughs ( most of them good , a few of them shticky ) and tears ( all of them earned ) , supporting characters who are meant to slay us ( and mostly do ) with their irascible sharp tongues , and dizzyingly extended flights of physical comedy . '' Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal said that `` Finding Dory can be touching , sweet and tender , but it 's compulsively , preposterously and steadfastly funny . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three - and - a-half stars out of four and said that the film `` brims with humor , heart and animation miracles '' , despite lacking `` the fresh surprise of its predecessor '' . Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review , writing , `` Its heroine may suffer from short - term memory loss , but viewers with any memory at all will realize that Finding Dory falls rather short of its wondrous progenitor . '' Writing for the Los Angeles Times , Kenneth Turan said that , `` As the 13 - year gap between `` Nemo '' and `` Dory '' indicates , this was not a concept that cried out to be made . '' Environmental controversies and issues ( edit ) Conservationists warned that , very much like Finding Nemo , the film could lead to uninformed customers buying blue tangs for home aquariums . Blue tangs can not be bred in captivity and have to be caught in the wild . They are related to surgeonfish and exhibit razor - sharp spines on both sides of the tail that can inflict formidable wounds . While promoting the film , actress Ellen DeGeneres reminded audiences that Nemo and Dory 's real - life home , the Great Barrier Reef , is under enormous threat , mostly due to coral bleaching , a process induced by climate change , which has killed coral reefs on an enormous scale .

Srī Laṅkā Tāyē ) is the national anthem of Sri Lanka . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Multilingual 2.1 Tamil version controversy 3 Lyrics 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) There are differing accounts as to the origin of the Sri Lanka Matha . The most widely held view is that Sri Lankan composer Ananda Samarakoon wrote the music and lyrics to the song inspired / influenced by Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore . A minority suggest that Tagore wrote the anthem in full . Some have suggested that Tagore wrote the music whilst Samarakoon wrote the lyrics . Samarakoon had been a pupil of Tagore at Visva - Bharati University , Santiniketan . After returning to Ceylon Samarakoon taught music at Mahinda College , Galle . The song , which was then known as Namo Namo Mata , was first sung by students at Mahinda College . After it was sung by the choir from Musaeus College , Colombo at a public event it became hugely popular in Ceylon and was widely played on radio . Prior to Ceylon 's independence ( 1948 ) the Lanka Gandharva Sabha had organised a competition to find a national anthem . Among the entries were Namo Namo Matha by Samarakoon and Sri Lanka Matha Pala Yasa Mahima by P.B. Illangasinghe and Lionel Edirisinghe . The latter won the competition but this was controversial as Illangasinghe and Edirisinghe were members of the judging panel . Sri Lanka Matha Pala Yasa Mahima was broadcast by Radio Ceylon on the morning of 4 February 1948 , independence day , but it was not sung at the official Freedom Day celebrations . Ceylon continued to use the British national anthem as its official national anthem after independence . At the first independence day ceremony held on 4 February 1949 at the Independence Memorial Hall in Torrington Square both Namo Namo Matha and Sri Lanka Matha Pala Yasa Mahima were sung , in Sinhala and Tamil , as `` national songs '' . More specifically , in 1950 Minister of Finance J.R. Jayewardene requested that the government recognise Samarakoon 's Namo Namo Matha as the official national anthem . The government appointed a committee headed by Edwin Wijeyeratne , Minister of Home Affairs and Rural Development , to pick a new national anthem . The committee heard several songs but , after much deliberation , picked Namo Namo Matha . The committee made a minor change to Samarakoon 's song , with his approval , changing the tenth line from `` Nawajeewana Damine '' to `` Nawa Jeewana Demine Nithina Apapupudu Karan Matha '' . The committee 's decision was endorsed by the government on 22 November 1951 . The anthem was translated into the Tamil language by M. Nallathamby . Namo Namo Matha was first sung as Ceylon 's official national anthem at the independence day ceremony in 1952 . In the late 1950s controversy arose over first line of the anthem , `` Namo Namo Matha , Apa Sri Lanka '' . It was deemed to be `` unlucky '' and blamed for the country 's misfortunes including the deaths of two prime ministers . In February 1961 the government changed the line to their present form , `` Sri Lanka Matha , Apa Sri Lanka '' , despite Samarakoon 's strong opposition . Samarakoon committed suicide in April 1962 , leaving a note complaining that his anthem had been mutilated . The Second Republican Constitution of 1978 gave Sri Lanka Matha constitutional recognition . Multilingual ( edit ) The Sri Lankan national anthem is available in an identical version in two languages , Sinhala and Tamil , both official languages of the country . It is just one of a number that are sung in more than one language : Belgium ( French , Dutch and German ) , Canada ( English , French and Inuktitut ) , New Zealand ( English and Māori ) , South Africa ( Xhosa , Zulu , Sesotho , Afrikaans and English ) , Suriname ( Dutch and Sranan Tongo ) and Switzerland ( German , French , Italian and Romansh ) . Sri Lanka Thaaye , the Tamil version of the Sri Lankan national anthem , is an exact translation of Sri Lanka Matha , the Sinhala version , and has the same music . Although it has existed since independence in 1948 it was generally only sung in the north and east of the country where the Tamil language predominates . The majority of Sri Lankans ( around 75 % ) speak the Sinhala language . More specifically , `` Tamil is the native language for the Tamil people , who constitute about 15 % of Sri Lankans , and for Muslims who are nearly 10 % '' , according to the BBC . Until early 2016 , the Sinhala version was the only one to be used during official government events and it was the only version used during international sports and other events . Although the Sinhala version of the anthem was used at official / state events , the Tamil version was also sung at some events in spite of the unofficial ban which ended in early 2016 . The Sinhala version of Sri Lanka Matha was used in all parts of the country with the exception of the North and the East which have a large Tamil population . Some reports indicate that the Tamil version was used at official events held in the Tamil speaking regions in the North and East of Sri Lanka . The Tamil version was sung at Tamil medium schools throughout the country . The Tamil version was even used during the period when Sinhala was the only official language of the country ( 1956 -- 87 ) . Tamil version controversy ( edit ) On 12 December 2010 The Sunday Times reported that the Cabinet of Sri Lanka headed by President Mahinda Rajapaksa had taken the decision to scrap the Tamil translation of Sri Lanka Matha at official and state functions , as `` in no other country was the national anthem used in more than one language '' - even though the national anthems of Canada , South Africa and those of several other countries have more than one language version . The Cabinet 's decision had followed a paper on the national flag and national anthem produced by Public Administration and Home Affairs Minister W.D.J. Senewiratne . The paper had drawn on the Singaporean model where the national anthem is sung in the official lyrics and not any translation of the lyrics . Based on this the paper recommended that the Sri Lankan national anthem only be sung in Sinhala and the Tamil translation be abolished . The paper 's authors had failed to realise that the official lyrics of the Singaporean national anthem are in Malay , a minority language ( 75 % of Singaporeans are Chinese ) . Government minister Wimal Weerawansa had labelled the Tamil version a `` joke '' on Derana TV , and had cited India as an analogy . Some journalists , such as D.B.S. Jeyaraj , claimed that it was wrong of Weerawansa to cite India as an analogy because according to them the Indian national anthem was not in Hindi , which is the most widely spoken language of India , but in Bengali , a minority language . Although sources based on an official Government of India website state that the Indian National anthem was adopted in its Hindi version by the Constituent Assembly of India , the proceedings of the Constituent Assembly of India on 24 January 1950 does not mention that the National Anthem was `` adopted '' , nor does it mention that it was done so in its Hindi version . In actual practice the unaltered Bengali version is the version sung as the National Anthem , with its words in original Bengali Tatsama , a highly Sanskritized form of Bengali that has Sanskrit words common to both Hindi and Bengali . The Cabinet 's December 2010 decision to scrap the Tamil translation of the anthem ( which was not subsequently enacted ) caused much furore in Sri Lanka . Later , the government denied allegations that the Tamil translation was to be abolished . The Presidential Secretariat has stated that there was no basis to the media report and follow up reports which intimated the same . Nevertheless , an unofficial ban on the Tamil version came into being as fearful public officials in Tamil speaking areas stopped using the Tamil version or blocked attempts to use it . The Sri Lankan Army forcefully stopped any use of the Tamil version and taught school children to sing only the Sinhala version . In March 2015 newly elected President Maithripala Sirisena announced that he would be issuing a circular which would state that there was no ban on singing the national anthem in Tamil . Sirisena 's announcement was attacked by Sinhalese Buddhist nationalists . During Sri Lanka 's 68th national independence day celebrations on 4 February 2016 , the Tamil version of the anthem was sung for the first time since 1949 at an official government event , the independence day celebrations . Lifting of the unofficial ban on the Tamil version had been approved by President Maithripala Sirisena ( who had said he would unite the nation after the nearly 26 - year civil war that ended in 2009 ) and by others in the government . This step was viewed as part of the plan for `` post-civil war ethnic reconciliation '' . Naturally , Sri Lanka Matha was also sung in the majority Sinhalese . Some groups , and Sri Lanka 's former President Mahinda Rajapaksa , were opposed to the government officially allowing the Tamil version to be sung .

This Middle - earth - related article describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in - universe style . Please help rewrite it to explain the fiction more clearly and provide non-fictional perspective . ( February 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Rings of Power in J.R.R. Tolkien 's Middle - earth legendarium are magic rings created by Sauron or by the Elves of Eregion under Sauron 's tutelage . Sauron intended three of the rings to be worn by Elves , Seven by Dwarves , Nine by Men , and one , the One Ring , by the Dark Lord Sauron himself in Mount Doom . Sauron intended the rings to subvert these races of Middle - earth to his power , since the One Ring controlled the others . Sauron 's plan was not completely successful , for the Elves hid their rings and did not use them while Sauron held the One , and the Dwarves did not respond to the One 's control as Sauron expected . But the Men who wore the Nine were enslaved by Sauron , and became the Nazgûl ( `` ring wraiths '' ) . Tolkien 's The Lord of the Rings is largely concerned with the attempt of Sauron to recover the One and the efforts of the West to forestall him by destroying it . The One is destroyed near the end of the War of the Ring when it falls into the Cracks of Doom in Mount Doom along with Gollum who had bitten Frodo 's finger off . Tolkien is not entirely clear about what happened to the other rings , though he implied that the power of any that survived came to an end . After the War of the Ring , the three Elven Rings were taken by their bearers over the sea to the Undying Lands . Contents ( hide ) 1 Literature 1.1 The making of the rings 1.1. 1 The Verse of the Rings 1.2 The Nine 1.3 The Seven 1.4 The Three 1.5 The One 2 Adaptations 3 See also 4 References 4.1 General references Literature ( edit ) The making of the rings ( edit ) Tolkien 's essay `` Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age '' in The Silmarillion gives the background of the making of the rings . At the end of the First Age , Sauron evaded the call of the Valar to surrender , and fled to Middle - earth . Midway through the Second Age he came in disguise as Annatar ( `` Lord of Gifts '' ) to the Elven smiths of Eregion , who were led by Celebrimbor , and taught them the craft of forging magic rings . Tolkien writes that the Elves made many lesser rings as essays in the craft , but eventually with Sauron 's assistance they forged the Seven and the Nine . The Three were made by Celebrimbor himself without Sauron 's assistance ; they remained unsullied by his touch . Sauron returned to Mordor , and in his forge in Mount Doom he made the One Ring , imbuing it with a large portion of his power . Its purpose was to dominate and command the wearers of the other Rings . However , when Sauron put on the One Ring and recited the incantation inscribed on it , the Elves became aware of him , and understood who he was and his purpose . The words he spoke are in the language that Westron speakers call Black Speech : The inscription on the One Ring is a Tengwar rendering of the language known as Black Speech . Ash nazg durbatulûk , Ash nazg gimbatul , Ash nazg thrakatulûk Agh burzum - ishi krimpatul . One Ring to rule them all , One Ring to find them , One Ring to bring them all , And in the darkness bind them . When the Elves wearing the rings discerned Sauron 's intention , they immediately removed them and hid them . Sauron invaded the West to recover the rings that the Elves had made ; much of the West , including Eregion , was destroyed before he was driven back to Mordor . Sauron recovered the Nine and three of the Seven , but not the Three elven rings , which remained hidden . The Verse of the rings ( edit ) The words inscribed on the One Ring come from the following verse , which describes 20 of the Rings of Power : Three Rings for the Elven - kings under the sky , Seven for the Dwarf - lords in their halls of stone , Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die , One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne , In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie , One ring to rule them all , one ring to find them , One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie . -- The Lord of the Rings , Epigraph The Nine ( edit ) Main article : Nazgûl Later in the Second Age , Sauron gave the Nine to powerful men , `` kings , sorcerers , and warriors of old '' . All of them fell under the rings ' dominance , and they became the Nazgûl ( Ringwraiths ) , spirits of terror whom Sauron could command even without the One . Their lives were extended indefinitely by the rings , and they became Sauron 's chief servants . To mortal observers who were not themselves wearing a Ring , a Ring of Power seemed to render the wearer invisible . Although the Nazgûl could not be seen , they emanated an evil presence ; their steeds were also visible . When they wished to adopt a noticeable form , they wore dark cloaks over their invisible bodies . It is not clear whether the Nazgûl continued to wear their rings . Tolkien says both `` the Nine the Nazgûl keep '' and that Sauron had gathered the Nine to himself , though in the latter case his meaning may be metaphorical . When the Nazgûl are destroyed , no mention is made of their rings . Only two of the Nazgûl are identified in the texts : the Witch - king of Angmar was the leader of the nine , and his second in command was Khamûl , an Easterling . Khamûl is the only Nazgûl identified by name . Three of the Nine were Númenórean . The Seven ( edit ) Also in the Second Age Sauron gave the Seven to various Dwarf - lords ( though the Dwarves of Moria maintained a tradition that the ring given to Durin III came directly from the Elven smiths ) . Gandalf mentions a rumour that the seven hoards of the dwarves began each with a single golden ring , and although the Dwarves used their rings to increase their treasure , Tolkien does not explain how the rings accomplished this ( save for a reference that the rings `` need gold to breed gold '' ) . The main power of the Seven on their wearers was to excite their sense of avarice . The wearers did not become invisible , did not get extended life - spans , nor succumb directly to Sauron 's control -- though he could still influence them to anger and greed . Over the years , Sauron recovered three rings from the Dwarves , the last from Thráin II during his final captivity in Dol Guldur some years before the beginning of The Hobbit . The remaining four , according to Gandalf , were destroyed by dragons . Until the Council of Elrond , the Dwarves did not know that Thráin had held the ring of Durin 's line and had lost it to Sauron . They thought instead that it might have been lost when Thrór was killed by Azog in Moria . One of the motivations for Balin 's doomed expedition to Moria was the possibility of recovering the ring . Sauron 's messenger attempted to bribe the Dwarves of Erebor for news of Bilbo ( the last known bearer of the One ) with the promise of the return of the remaining three of the Seven and control over the Mines of Moria . The three ( edit ) Main article : Three Rings The Three Rings of the Elves were called Narya , the Ring of Fire ( set with a ruby ) ; Nenya , the Ring of Water or Ring of Adamant ( made of mithril and set with a `` white stone '' ) , and Vilya , the Ring of Air , the `` mightiest of the Three '' ( made of gold and set with a sapphire ) . Before the sack of Eregion , Celebrimbor gave Vilya and Narya to Gil - galad and Nenya to Galadriel . Gil - galad later gave Narya to Círdan , and gave Vilya to Elrond . The Three remained hidden from Sauron and untouched by him . During the Third Age , after he lost the One , they were used for the preservation and enhancement of three remaining realms of the Eldar . Vilya was used by Elrond in Rivendell , Nenya by Galadriel in Lothlórien , and Narya by Círdan in Lindon . When the Istari , or wizards , arrived about T.A. 1100 , Círdan gave Narya to Gandalf , who bore it until the end of the Third Age . During the period of The Lord of the Rings , the Three were borne by Elrond , Galadriel , and Gandalf ; but until the end of the book their rings are not seen . Only Frodo , the bearer of the One , sees Galadriel 's ring , and only when she draws his attention to it . At the end of the book , these three take their rings , now visible and powerless , over the sea to the Undying Lands . Although the Verse of the Rings describes Three Rings for the Elven - kings , the only Elven king who actually held a ring was Gil - galad . He held both Vilya and Narya , but entrusted them to Elrond and Círdan before perishing in Mordor . The One ( edit ) Main article : One Ring Unlike the other Rings of Power , the One was unadorned . It bore only the inscription of the incantation Sauron spoke when he made it , and even that was invisible unless the ring was heated . Though the other rings could be destroyed in dragon - fire , the One could be unmade only in the unyielding fires of Mount Doom where it was forged . When Sauron made the ring , he was obliged to transfer much of his power into it so that it could control the other rings , themselves objects of great potency . With the ring , Sauron remained very powerful , and he could use it to dominate the will of others ; he very quickly corrupted Númenor into the worship of Melkor and open rebellion against the Valar . When Isildur cut the ring from his hand , Sauron became much weaker . He required the ring to effect his conquest of Middle - earth , and spent most of the Third Age attempting to get it back . The ring had a great effect on the human bearers who held it in the interim . It granted them indefinite life ; though the effort of living became more difficult as time went on , for it did not grant new life . If they wore it , it made them invisible , enhanced their hearing , and made the shadowy world of the wraiths visible to them . It exerted a malicious influence ; Gandalf mentions that though a bearer might begin with good intentions , the good intentions would not last . The Ring would give its bearer a fraction of Sauron 's power , proportionate with the bearer 's strength and force of will . Gollum , Bilbo , Sam , and Frodo only became invisible , although when Frodo bound Gollum to his service in The Two Towers he indicated that he could use the Ring to control Gollum ( because the Ring had mastered Gollum long ago ) . Gandalf and Galadriel , however , recognized that they could use the full power of the Ring , becoming even more powerful than Sauron himself , but they resisted , knowing that in the end the Ring would corrupt them . Gandalf explained to Frodo that , with great concentration and training , even he could tap into the Ring 's power , but probably at the cost of his sanity . The One Ring possessed something of a will of its own . Its only accepted master was Sauron himself , and it would seek to leave any other bearer when it would cause the greatest harm , or when it might return to Sauron . Bilbo warned Frodo of this , and Frodo kept it on a chain so that it would not slip off unnoticed . In the end , Gollum succumbs to the malevolent influence of the ring , defies Frodo , and takes the ring for himself . While dancing with joy over the recovery of the ring , Gollum falls into the Cracks of Doom in Orodruin , where the ring is destroyed . With the destruction of the Ring , Gandalf explains that Sauron is weakened to the point that he will never be able to materialize again . Adaptations ( edit ) Ralph Bakshi 's 1978 animated film begins with the forging of the Rings of Power and the events of the Last Alliance 's war against Sauron , all portrayed in silhouette against a red background . Peter Jackson 's The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring begins with a similar prologue , though longer and more detailed . The three Elven rings are shown being cast using a cuttlebone mold , an ancient primitive casting technique . Additionally , Tolkien illustrators John Howe and Alan Lee , employed as conceptual designers for the films , have cameos as two of the nine human Ring - bearers who become Nazgûl .

During the 21st century , there will be 224 solar eclipses of which 77 will be partial , 72 will be annular , 68 will be total and 7 will be hybrids between total and annular eclipses . Of these , two annular and one total eclipse will be non-central , in the sense that the very center ( axis ) of the moon 's shadow will miss the earth ( for more information see gamma ) . In the 21st century the greatest number of eclipses in one year is four , in 2011 , 2029 , 2047 , 2065 , 2076 , and 2094 . The predictions given here are by Fred Espenak of NASA 's Goddard Space Flight Center . At this point , the longest duration in which the moon completely covered the sun , known as totality , was during the solar eclipse of July 22 , 2009 . This total solar eclipse had a maximum duration of 6 minutes and 39 seconds . The longest possible duration of a total solar eclipse is 7 minutes and 32 seconds . The longest annular solar eclipse of the 21st century took place on January 15 , 2010 , with a duration of 11 minutes and 8 seconds . The maximum possible duration is 12 minutes and 29 seconds . The eclipse of May 20 , 2050 , will be the second hybrid eclipse in the span of less than one year , the first one being on November 25 , 2049 . The next solar eclipse ( Partial ) will occur on February 15 , 2018 ; the last solar eclipse ( Total ) occurred on August 21 , 2017 . The table contains the date and time of the greatest eclipse ( in dynamical time , which in this case is the time when the axis of the Moon 's shadow cone passes closest to the centre of Earth ; this is in Universal Time ) . The number of the saros series that the eclipse belongs to is given , followed by the magnitude of the eclipse ( the fraction of the Sun 's diameter obscured by the Moon ) and the type of the eclipse ( either total , annular , partial or hybrid ) . For total and annular eclipses , the duration of the eclipse is given , as well as the location of the greatest eclipse ( the point of maximum eclipse ) and the path width of the total or annular eclipse . The geographical areas from which the eclipse can be seen are listed .

The bomb was detonated on the army base , Pokhran Test Range ( PTR ) , in Rajasthan by the Indian Army under the supervision of several key Indian generals . Pokhran - I was also the first confirmed nuclear weapons test by a nation outside the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council . Officially , the Indian Ministry of External Affairs ( MEA ) claimed this test was a `` peaceful nuclear explosion '' , but it was an accelerated nuclear programme .

Bhabha founded the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research . Physicist Raja Ramanna played an essential role in nuclear weapons technology research ; he expanded and supervised scientific research on nuclear weapons and was the first directing officer of the small team of scientists that supervised and carried out the test . After Indian independence from the British Empire , Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru authorised the development of a nuclear programme headed by Homi Bhabha . The Atomic Energy Act of 1948 focused on peaceful development . India was heavily involved in the development of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty , but ultimately opted not to sign it . We must develop this atomic energy quite apart from war -- indeed I think we must develop it for the purpose of using it for peaceful purposes ... Of course , if we are compelled as a nation to use it for other purposes , possibly no pious sentiments of any of us will stop the nation from using it that way . -- Jawaharalal Nehru , First Prime Minister of India , In 1954 , Bhabha steered the nuclear programme in the direction of weapons design and production . Two important infrastructure projects were commissioned . The first established Trombay Atomic Energy Establishment at Mumbai ( Bombay ) . The other created a governmental secretariat , Department of Atomic Energy ( DAE ) , of which Bhabha was the first secretary . From 1954 to 1959 , the nuclear programme grew swiftly . By 1958 , the DAE had one - third of the defence budget for research purposes . In 1954 , India reached a verbal understanding with Canada and the United States under the Atoms for Peace programme ; Canada and the United States ultimately agreed to provide and establish the CIRUS research reactor also at Trombay . The acquisition of CIRUS was a watershed event in nuclear proliferation with the understanding between India and the United States that the reactor would be used for peaceful purposes only . CIRUS was an ideal facility to develop a plutonium device , and therefore Nehru refused to accept nuclear fuel from Canada and started the programme to develop an indigenous nuclear fuel cycle . In July 1958 , Nehru authorised `` Project Phoenix '' to build a reprocessing plant with a capacity of 20 tons of fuel a year -- a size to match the production capacity of CIRUS . The plant used the PUREX process and was designed by the American firm Vitro International . Construction of the plutonium plant began at Trombay on 27 March 1961 , and it was commissioned in mid-1964 . The nuclear programme continued to mature , and by 1960 , Nehru made the critical decision to move the programme into production . At about the same time , Nehru held discussions with the American firm Westinghouse Electric to construct India 's first nuclear power plant in Tarapur , Maharashtra . Kenneth Nichols , a US Army engineer , recalls from a meeting with Nehru , `` it was that time when Nehru turned to Bhabha and asked Bhabha for the timeline of the development of a nuclear weapon '' . Bhabha estimated he would need about a year to accomplish the task . By 1962 , the nuclear programme was still developing , but at a slow rate . Nehru was distracted by the Sino - Indian War , during which India lost territory to China . Nehru turned to the Soviet Union for help , but the Soviet Union was preoccupied with the Cuban Missile Crisis . The Soviet Politburo turned down Nehru 's request for arms and continued backing the Chinese . India concluded that the Soviet Union was an unreliable ally , and this conclusion strengthened India 's determination to create a nuclear deterrent . Design work began in 1965 under Bhabha and proceeded under Raja Ramanna who took over the programme after the former 's death . Weapons development , 1967 -- 72 ( edit ) Bhabha was now aggressively lobbying for nuclear weapons and made several speeches on Indian radio . In 1964 , Bhabha told the Indian public via Indian radio that `` such nuclear weapons are remarkably cheap '' and supported his arguments by referring to the economical cost of American nuclear testing programme ( Plowshare ) . Bhabha stated to the politicians that a 10 kt device would cost around $350,000 , and $600,000 for a 2 mt . From this , he estimated that `` a stockpile '' of around 50 atomic bombs would cost under $21 million and a stockpile of 50 two - megaton hydrogen bombs would cost around $31.5 million . '' Bhabha did not realise , however , that the U.S. Plowshare cost - figures were produced by a vast industrial complex costing tens of billions of dollars , which had already manufactured nuclear weapons numbering in the tens of thousands . The delivery systems for nuclear weapons typically cost several times as much as the weapons themselves . The nuclear programme was partially slowed down when Lal Bahadur Shastri became the prime minister . In 1965 , Shastri faced another war with Pakistan . Shastri appointed physicist Vikram Sarabhai as the head of the nuclear programme but because of his Gandhian beliefs Sarabhai directed the programme toward peaceful purposes rather than military development . In 1967 , Indira Gandhi became the prime minister and work on the nuclear programme resumed with renewed vigour . Homi Sethna , a chemical engineer , played a significant role in the development of weapon - grade plutonium while Ramanna designed and manufactured the whole nuclear device . The first nuclear bomb project did not employ more than 75 scientists because of its sensitivity . The nuclear weapons programme was now directed towards the production of plutonium rather than uranium . In 1968 -- 69 , P.K. Iyengar visited the Soviet Union with three colleagues and toured the nuclear research facilities at Dubna , Russia . During his visit , Iyengar was impressed by the plutonium - fueled pulsed fast reactor . Upon his return to India , Iyengar set about developing plutonium reactors approved by the Indian political leadership in January 1969 . The secret plutonium plant was known as Purnima , and construction began in March 1969 . The plant 's leadership included Iyengar , Ramanna , Homi Sethna , and Sarabhai . Sarabhai 's presence indicates that , with or without formal approval , the work on nuclear weapons at Trombay had been commenced . Secrecy and test preparations , 1972 -- 74 ( edit ) India continued to harbour ambivalent feelings about nuclear weapons , and accorded low priority to their production until the Indo - Pakistani War of 1971 . In December 1971 , Richard Nixon sent a carrier battle group led by the USS Enterprise ( CVN - 65 ) into the Bay of Bengal in an attempt to intimidate India . The Soviet Union responded by sending a submarine armed with nuclear missiles from Vladivostok to trail the US task force . The Soviet response demonstrated the deterrent value and significance of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile submarines to Indira Gandhi . India gained the military and political initiative over Pakistan after acceding to the treaty that divided Pakistan into two different political entities . On 7 September 1972 , near the peak of her post-war popularity , Indira Gandhi authorised the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre ( BARC ) to manufacture a nuclear device and prepare it for a test . Although the Indian Army was not fully involved in the nuclear testing , the army 's highest command was kept fully informed of the test preparations . The preparations were carried out under the watchful eyes of the Indian political leadership , with civilian scientists assisting the Indian Army . The device was formally called the `` Peaceful Nuclear Explosive '' , but it was usually referred to as the Smiling Buddha . The device was detonated on 18 May 1974 , Buddha Jayanti ( a festival day in India marking the birth of Gautama Buddha ) . Indira Gandhi maintained tight control of all aspects of the preparations of the Smiling Buddha test , which was conducted in extreme secrecy ; besides Gandhi , only advisers Parmeshwar Haksar and Durga Dhar were kept informed . Scholar Raj Chengappa asserts the Indian Defence Minister Jagjivan Ram was not provided with any knowledge of this test and came to learn of it only after it was conducted . Swaran Singh , the Minister of External Affairs , was given 48 hours advance notice . The Indira Gandhi administration employed no more than 75 civilian scientists while General G.G. Bewoor , Indian army chief , and the commander of Indian Western Command were the only military commanders kept informed . Development teams and sites ( edit ) The head of this entire nuclear bomb project was the director of the BARC , Raja Ramanna . In later years , his role in the nuclear programme would be more deeply integrated as he remained head of the nuclear programme most of his life . The designer and creator of the bomb was P.K. Iyengar , who was the second in command of this project . Iyengar 's work was further assisted by the chief metallurgist , R. Chidambaram , and by Nagapattinam Sambasiva Venkatesan of the Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory , who developed and manufactured the high explosive implosion system . The explosive materials and the detonation system were developed by Waman Dattatreya Patwardhan of the High Energy Materials Research Laboratory . The overall project was supervised by chemical engineer Homi Sethna , Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission of India . Chidambaram , who would later coordinate work on the Pokhran - II tests , began work on the equation of state of plutonium in late 1967 or early 1968 . To preserve secrecy , the project employed no more than 75 scientists and engineers from 1967 -- 74 . Abdul Kalam also arrived at the test site as the representative of the DRDO . The device was of the implosion - type design and had a close resemblance to the American nuclear bomb called the Fat Man . The implosion system was assembled at the Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory ( TBRL ) of the DRDO in Chandigarh . The detonation system was developed at the High Energy Materials Research Laboratory ( HEMRL ) of the DRDO in Pune , Maharashtra State . The 6 kg of plutonium came from the CIRUS reactor at BARC . The neutron initiator was of the polonium -- beryllium type and code - named Flower . The complete nuclear bomb was engineered and finally assembled by Indian engineers at Trombay before transportation to the test site . Nuclear weapon design ( edit ) Cross-section ( edit ) The fully assembled device had a hexagonal cross section , 1.25 metres in diameter , and weighed 1400 kg . The device was mounted on a hexagonal metal tripod , and was transported to the shaft on rails which the army kept covered with sand . The device was detonated when Dastidar pushed the firing button at 8.05 a.m. ; it was in a shaft 107 m under the army Pokhran test range in the Thar Desert ( or Great Indian Desert ) , Rajasthan . Controversy regarding the yield ( edit ) The nuclear yield of this test still remains controversial , with unclear data provided by Indian sources , although Indian politicians have given the country 's press a range from 2 kt to 20 kt . The official yield was initially set at 12 kt ; post-Operation Shakti claims have raised it to 13 kt . Independent seismic data from outside and analysis of the crater features indicate a lower figure . Analysts usually estimate the yield at 4 to 6 kt , using conventional seismic magnitude - to - yield conversion formulas . In recent years , both Homi Sethna and P.K. Iyengar have conceded the official yield to be an exaggeration . Iyengar has variously stated that the yield was 8 -- 10 kt , that the device was designed to yield 10 kt , and that the yield was 8 kt `` exactly as predicted '' . Although seismic scaling laws lead to an estimated yield range between 3.2 kt and 21 kt , an analysis of hard rock cratering effects suggests a narrow range of around 8 kt for the yield , which is within the uncertainties of the seismic yield estimate . Aftermath ( edit ) Domestic reaction ( edit ) Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had already gained much popularity and publicity after her successful military campaign against Pakistan in the 1971 war . The test caused an immediate revival of Indira Gandhi 's popularity , which had flagged considerably from its high after the 1971 war . The overall popularity and image of the Congress Party was enhanced and the Congress Party was well received in the Indian Parliament . In 1975 , Homi Sethna , a chemical engineer and the chairman of the Indian Atomic Energy Commission ( AECI ) , Raja Ramanna of BARC , and Basanti Nagchaudhuri of DRDO , all were honoured with the Padma Vibhushan , India 's second highest civilian award . Five other project members received the Padma Shri , India 's fourth highest civilian award . India consistently maintained that this was a peaceful nuclear bomb test and that it had no intentions of militarising its nuclear programme . However , according to independent monitors , this test was part of an accelerated Indian nuclear programme . In 1997 Raja Ramanna , speaking to the Press Trust of India , maintained : The Pokhran test was a bomb , I can tell you now ... An explosion is an explosion , a gun is a gun , whether you shoot at someone or shoot at the ground ... I just want to make clear that the test was not all that peaceful . -- Raja Ramanna 1997 , International reaction ( edit ) Main article : Nuclear Suppliers Group While India continued to state that the test was for peaceful purposes , it encountered opposition from many quarters . The Nuclear Suppliers Group ( NSG ) was formed in reaction to the Indian tests to check international nuclear proliferation . The NSG decided in 1992 to require full - scope IAEA safeguards for any new nuclear export deals , which effectively ruled out nuclear exports to India , but in 2008 it waived this restriction on nuclear trade with India as part of the Indo - US civilian nuclear agreement . Pakistan ( edit ) Pakistan did not view the test as a `` peaceful nuclear explosion '' , and cancelled talks scheduled for 10 June on normalisation of relations . Pakistan 's Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto vowed in June 1974 that he would never succumb to `` nuclear blackmail '' or accept `` Indian hegemony or domination over the subcontinent '' . The chairman of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission , Munir Ahmed Khan , said that the test would force Pakistan to test its own nuclear bomb . Pakistan 's leading nuclear physicist , Pervez Hoodbhoy , stated in 2011 that he believed the test `` pushed ( Pakistan ) further into the nuclear arena '' . Canada and United States ( edit ) The plutonium used in the test was created in the CIRUS reactor supplied by Canada and using heavy water supplied by the United States . Both countries reacted negatively , especially in light of then ongoing negotiations on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the economic aid both countries had provided to India . Canada concluded that the test violated a 1971 understanding between the two states , and froze nuclear energy assistance for the two heavy water reactors then under construction . The United States concluded that the test did not violate any agreement and proceeded with a June 1974 shipment of enriched uranium for the Tarapur reactor . France ( edit ) France sent a congratulatory telegram to India but later withdrew it . Subsequent nuclear explosions ( edit ) Despite many proposals , India did not carry out further nuclear tests until 1998 . After the 1998 general elections , Operation Shakti ( also known as Pokhran - II ) was carried out at the Pokhran test site , using devices designed and built over the preceding two decades .

Civilian scientists called it `` Operation Smiling Buddha '' and the Indian Army referred to it as Operation Happy Krishna . According to United States Military Intelligence , Operation Happy Krishna was the code name for the Indian Army 's construction of the underground site in which the tests were conducted . The Ministry of External Affairs designated the test as Pokhran - I . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : FIles. `` 1974 Nuclear files '' . Nuclear Age Peace Foundation . Nuclear files archives .

Hinch General Manager Jeff Luhnow President of Baseball Operations Jeff Luhnow The Houston Astros are an American professional baseball team based in Houston , Texas . The Astros compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member club of the American League ( AL ) West division , having moved to the division in 2013 after spending their first 51 seasons in the National League ( NL ) . The Astros have played their home games at Minute Maid Park since 2000 . The Astros were established as the Houston Colt . 45s and entered the National League as an expansion team in 1962 along with the New York Mets . The current name -- reflecting Houston 's role as the control center of the U.S. space program -- was adopted three years later , when they moved into the Astrodome , the first domed sports stadium . The Astros played in the NL from 1962 to 2012 , first in the West Division from 1969 to 1993 , followed by the Central Division from 1994 to 2012 . While a member of the NL , the Astros played in one World Series , in 2005 , against the Chicago White Sox , in which they were swept in four games . In 2017 , they became the first franchise in MLB history to have won a pennant in both the NL and the AL , when they defeated the New York Yankees in the ALCS . They subsequently won the 2017 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers , winning four games to three , earning the team , and the state of Texas , its first World Series title .

There were four men chiefly responsible for bringing Major League Baseball to Houston : George Kirksey and Craig Cullinan , who had led a futile attempt to purchase the St. Louis Cardinals in 1952 ; R.E. `` Bob '' Smith , a prominent oilman and real estate magnate in Houston who was brought in for his financial resources ; and Judge Roy Hofheinz , a former Mayor of Houston and Harris County Judge who was recruited for his salesmanship and political style . They formed the Houston Sports Association as their vehicle for attaining a big league franchise for the city of Houston . Given MLB 's refusal to consider expansion , Kirksey , Cullinan , Smith , and Hofheinz joined forces with would - be owners from other cities and announced the formation of a new league to compete with the established National and American Leagues . They called the new league the Continental League . Wanting to protect potential new markets , both existing leagues chose to expand from eight teams to ten . However , plans eventually fell through for the Houston franchise after the Houston Buffaloes owner , Marty Marion , could not come to an agreement with the HSA to sell the team . To make matters worse , the Continental League as a whole folded in August 1960 . However , on October 17 , 1960 , the National League granted an expansion franchise to the Houston Sports Association in which their team could begin play in the 1962 season . According to the Major League Baseball Constitution , the Houston Sports Association was required to obtain territorial rights from the Houston Buffaloes in order to play in the Houston area , and again negotiations began to purchase the team . Eventually , the Houston Sports Association succeeded in purchasing the Houston Buffaloes , at this point majority - owned by William Hopkins , on January 17 , 1961 . The Buffs played one last minor league season as the top farm team of the Chicago Cubs in 1961 before being succeeded by the city 's NL club . The new Houston team was named the Colt . 45s after a `` Name The Team '' contest was won by William Irving Neder . The Colt . 45 was well known as `` the gun that won the west . '' The colors selected were navy and orange . The first team was formed mostly through an expansion draft after the 1961 season . The Colt . 45s and their expansion cousins , the New York Mets , took turns choosing players left unprotected by the other National League franchises . Many of those associated with the Houston Buffaloes organization were allowed by the ownership to continue in the major league . Manager Harry Craft , who had joined Houston in 1961 , remained in the same position for the team until the end of the 1964 season . General manager Spec Richardson also continued with the organization as business manager , but was later promoted again to the same position with the Astros from 1967 until 1975 . Although most players for the major league franchise were obtained through the 1961 Major League Baseball expansion draft , Buffs players J.C. Hartman , Pidge Browne , Jim Campbell , Ron Davis , Dave Giusti , and Dave Roberts were chosen to continue as major league ball players . Similarly , the radio broadcasting team remained with the new Houston major league franchise . Loel Passe worked alongside Gene Elston as a color commentator until he retired from broadcasting in 1976 . Elston continued with the Astros until 1986 . The Colt . 45s began their existence playing at Colt Stadium , a temporary venue built just north of the construction site of the indoor stadium . 1962 -- 1964 : the Colt . 45s Colt . 45s logo , 1962 -- 1964 The Colt . 45s started their inaugural season on April 10 , 1962 , against the Chicago Cubs with Harry Craft as the Colt . 45s ' manager . Bob Aspromonte scored the first run for the Colt . 45s on an Al Spangler triple in the first inning . They started the season with a three - game sweep of the Cubs but eventually finished eighth among the National League 's ten teams . The team 's best pitcher , Richard `` Turk '' Farrell , lost 20 games despite an ERA of 3.02 . A starter for the Colt . 45s , Farrell was primarily a relief pitcher prior to playing for Houston . He was selected to both All - Star Games in 1962 . The 1963 season saw more young talent mixed with seasoned veterans . Jimmy Wynn , Rusty Staub , and Joe Morgan all made their major league debuts in the 1963 season . However , Houston 's position in the standings did not improve , as the Colt . 45s finished in ninth place with a 66 -- 96 record . The team was still building , trying to find that perfect mix to compete . The 1964 campaign began on a sad note , as relief pitcher Jim Umbricht died of cancer at the age of 33 on April 8 , just before Opening Day . Umbricht was the only Colt . 45s pitcher to post a winning record in Houston 's first two seasons . He was so well liked by players and fans that the team retired his jersey number , 32 , in 1965 . Just on the horizon , the structure of the new domed stadium was more prevalent and it would soon change the way that baseball was watched in Houston and around the league . On December 1 , 1964 , the team announced the name change from Colt . 45s to `` Astros . '' 1965 -- 1970 : the great indoors Astros logo , 1965 -- 1974 with the Astrodome With Judge Roy Hofheinz now the sole owner of the franchise and the new venue complete , the renamed `` Astros '' moved into their new domed stadium , the Astrodome , in 1965 . The name honored Houston 's position as the center of the nation 's space program ; NASA 's new Manned Spacecraft Center had recently opened southeast of the city . The Astrodome , coined the `` Eighth Wonder of the World '' , did little to improve the home team 's results on the field . While several `` indoor '' firsts were accomplished , the team still finished ninth in the standings . The attendance was high not because of the team accomplishments , but because people came from miles around to see the Astrodome . Just as the excitement was settling down over the Astrodome , the 1966 season found something new to put the domed stadium in the spotlight once again -- the field . Grass would not grow in the new park , since the roof panels had been painted to reduce the glare that was causing players on both the Astros and the visiting teams to miss routine pop flies . A new artificial turf was created called `` AstroTurf '' and Houston would be involved in yet another change in the way the game was played . With new manager Grady Hatton , the Astros started the 1966 season strong . By May they were in second place in the National League and looked like a team that could contend . Joe Morgan was named as a starter on the All - Star Team . The success did not last as they lost Jimmy Wynn for the season after he crashed into an outfield fence in Philadelphia and Morgan had broken his knee cap . The 1967 season saw first baseman Eddie Mathews join the Astros . The slugger hit his 500th home run while in Houston . He would be traded late in the season and Doug Rader would be promoted to the big leagues . Rookie Don Wilson pitched a no - hitter on June 18 . Wynn also provided some enthusiasm in 1967 . The 5 ft 9 in Wynn was becoming known not only for how often he hit home runs , but also for how far he hit them . Wynn set club records with 37 home runs , and 107 RBIs . It was also in 1967 that Wynn hit his famous home run onto Interstate 75 in Cincinnati . As the season came to a close , the Astros found themselves again in ninth place and with a winning percentage below . 500 . The team looked good on paper , but could not make it work on the field . April 15 , 1968 saw a pitching duel for the ages . The Astros ' Don Wilson and the Mets ' Tom Seaver faced each other in a battle that lasted six hours . Seaver went ten innings , allowing no walks and just two hits . Wilson went nine innings , allowing five hits and three walks . After the starters exited , eleven relievers ( seven for the Mets and four for the Astros ) tried to end the game . The game finally ended in the 24th inning when Aspromonte hit a shot toward Mets shortstop Al Weis . Weis had been perfect all night at short , but he was not quick enough to make the play . The ball zipped into left field , allowing Norm Miller to score . With baseball expansion and trades , the Astros had dramatically changed in 1969 . Aspromonte was sent to the Braves and Staub was traded to the expansion Montreal Expos , in exchange for outfielder Jesús Alou and first baseman Donn Clendenon . However , Clendenon refused to report to Houston , electing to retire and take job with a pen manufacturing company . The Astros asked Commissioner Bowie Kuhn to void the trade , but he refused . Instead , he awarded Jack Billingham and a left - handed relief pitcher to the Astros to complete the trade . Cuellar was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for Curt Blefary . Other new players included catcher Johnny Edwards , infielder Denis Menke and pitcher Denny Lemaster . Wilson continued to pitch brilliantly and on May 1 threw the second no - hitter of his career . In that game , he struck out 18 batters , tying what was then the all - time single - game mark . He was just 24 years of age and was second to only Sandy Koufax for career no - hit wins . Wilson 's no - hitter lit the Astros ' fire after a miserable month of April , and six days later the team tied a major league record by turning seven double plays in a game . By May 's end , the Astros had put together a ten - game winning streak . The Houston infield tandem of Menke and Joe Morgan continued to improve , providing power at the plate and great defense . Morgan had 15 homers and stole 49 bases while Menke led the Astros with 90 RBIs . The Menke / Morgan punch was beginning to come alive , and the team was responding to Walker 's management style . The Astros dominated the season series against their expansion twins , the New York Mets . In one game at New York , Denis Menke and Jimmy Wynn hit grand slams in the same inning , against a Mets team that would go on to win the World Series that same year . The Astros finished the 1969 season with a record of 81 wins , 81 losses , marking their first season of . 500 ball . In 1970 , the Astros were expected to be a serious threat in the National League West . In June , 19 - year - old César Cedeño was called up and immediately showed signs of being a superstar . The Dominican outfielder batted . 310 after being called up . Not to be outdone , Menke batted . 304 and Jesús Alou batted . 306 . The Astros ' batting average was up by 19 points compared to the season before . The team looked good , but the Astros ' ERA was up . Larry Dierker and Wilson had winning records , but the pitching staff as a whole had an off season . Houston finished in fourth place in 1970 . 1971 -- 1974 : the boys in orange The fashion trends of the 1970s had started taking root in baseball . Long hair and loud colors were starting to appear on team uniforms , including the Astros ' . In 1971 the Astros made some changes to their uniform : they kept the same style they had in previous seasons , but inverted the colors . What was navy was now orange and what was orange was now a lighter shade of blue . The players ' last names were added to the back of the jerseys . In 1972 , the uniform fabric was also changed to what was at the time revolutionizing the industry -- polyester . Belts were replaced by elastic waistbands , and jerseys zipped up instead of having buttons . The uniforms became popular with fans , but would last only until 1975 , when the Astros would shock baseball and the fashion world . The uniforms were about the only thing that did change in 1971 . The acquisition of Roger Metzger from the Chicago Cubs in the off - season moved Menke to first base and Bob Watson to the outfield . The Astros got off to a slow start and the pitching and hitting averages were down . Larry Dierker was selected to the All - Star game in 1971 , but due to an arm injury he could not make it . César Cedeño led the club with 81 RBIs and the league with 40 doubles , but batted just . 264 and had 102 strikeouts in his second season with the Astros . Pitcher J.R. Richard made his debut in September of the 1971 season against the Giants . The big trade See also : The Big Red Machine In November 1971 the Astros and Cincinnati Reds made one of the biggest blockbuster trades in the history of the sport , and helped create The Big Red Machine of the 1970s , with the Reds getting the better end of the deal . Houston sent second baseman Joe Morgan , infielder Denis Menke , pitcher Jack Billingham , outfielder César Gerónimo and prospect Ed Armbrister to Cincinnati for first baseman Lee May , second baseman Tommy Helms and infielder Jimmy Stewart . The trade left Astros fans and the baseball world scratching their heads as to why General Manager Spec Richardson would give up so much for so little . The Reds , on the other hand , would shore up many problems . They had an off year in 1971 , but were the National League Pennant winner in 1972 . The Astros ' acquisition of Lee May added more power to the lineup in 1972 . May , Wynn , Rader and Cedeño all had 20 or more home runs and Watson hit 16 . Cedeño also led the Astros with a . 320 batting average , 55 stolen bases and made spectacular plays on the field . Cedeño made his first All - Star game in 1972 and became the first Astros player in team history to hit for the cycle in August versus the Reds . The Astros finished the strike - shortened season at 84 -- 69 , their first winning season . Astros fans had hoped for more of the same in 1973 , but it was not to be . The Astros run production was down , even though the same five sluggers the year before were still punching the ball out of the park . Lee May led the Astros with 28 home runs and Cesar Cedeño batted . 320 with 25 home runs . Bob Watson hit the . 312 mark and drove in 94 runs . Doug Rader and Jimmy Wynn both had 20 or more home runs . However , injuries to their pitching staff limited the Astros to an 82 -- 80 fourth - place finish . The Astros again finished in fourth place the next year under new manager Preston Gómez . 1975 -- 1979 : the rainbow ERA Astros logo , 1975 -- 1993 with the Astrodome With the $38 million deficit of the Astrodome , control of the Astrodomain was passed from Judge Roy Hofheinz to GE Credit and Ford Motor Credit . This included the Astros . The creditors were just interested in preserving asset value of the team , so any money spent had to be found or saved somewhere else . Tal Smith returned to the Astros from the New York Yankees to find a team that needed a lot of work and did not have a lot of money . However , there would be some bright spots that would prove to be good investments in the near future . The year started on a sad note . Pitcher Don Wilson was found dead in the passenger seat of his car on January 5 , 1975 ; the cause of death was asphyxiation by carbon monoxide . Wilson was 29 years old . Wilson 's number 40 was retired on April 13 , 1975 . The 1975 season saw the introduction of the Astros ' new uniforms . Many teams were going away from the traditional uniform and the Astros were no exception . The uniforms had multishade stripes of orange , red and yellow in front and in back behind a large dark blue star over the midsection . The same stripes ran down the pant legs . Players numbers not only appeared on the back of the jersey , but also on the pant leg . The bright stripes were meant to appear as a fiery trail like a rocket sweeping across the heavens . The uniforms were panned by critics , but the public liked them and versions started appearing at the high school and little league level . The uniform was so different from what other teams wore that the Astros wore it both at home and on the road until 1980 . Besides the bright new uniforms there were some other changes . Lee May was traded to Baltimore for much talked about rookie second baseman Rob Andrews and utility player Enos Cabell . In Baltimore , Cabell was stuck behind third baseman Brooks Robinson , but he took advantage of his opportunity in Houston and became their everyday third baseman . Cabell would go on to become a big part of the team 's success in later years . With May gone , Bob Watson was able to move to first base and was a bright spot in the line up , batting . 324 with 85 RBI . The two biggest moves the Astros made in the offseason were the acquisitions of Joe Niekro and José Cruz . The Astros bought Niekro from the Braves for almost nothing . Niekro had bounced around the big leagues with minimal success . His older brother Phil Niekro had started teaching Joe how to throw his knuckleball and Joe was just starting to use it when he came to the Astros . Niekro won six games , saved four games and had an ERA of 3.07 . José Cruz was also a steal , in retrospect , from the Cardinals . Cruz became a fixture in the Astros ' outfield for several years and would eventually have his number 25 retired . Despite high expectations , 1975 was among the Astros ' worst in franchise history . Their record of 64 -- 97 was far worse than even the expansion Colt . 45 's and would remain the worst record in franchise history until 2011 . It was the worst record in baseball and manager Preston Gómez was fired late in the season and replaced by Bill Virdon . The Astros played . 500 ball under Virdon in the last 34 games of the season . With Virdon as the manager the Astros improved greatly in 1976 finishing in third place with an 80 -- 82 record . A healthy César Cedeño was a key reason for the Astros ' success in 1976 . Bob Watson continued to show consistency and led the club with a . 313 average and 102 RBI . José Cruz became Houston 's everyday left fielder and hit . 303 with 28 stolen bases . 1976 saw the end of Larry Dierker 's playing career as an Astro , but before it was all over he would throw a no - hitter and win the 1,000 th game in the Astrodome . The Astros finished in third place again in 1977 with a record of 81 -- 81 . One of the big problems the Astros had in the late 1970s was that they were unable to compete in the free agent market . Ford Motor Credit Company was still in control of the team and was looking to sell the Astros , but they were not going to spend money on better players . Most of the talent was either farm grown or bought on the cheap . The 1979 season would prove to be a big turnaround in Astros history . During the offseason , the Astros made an effort to fix some of their problem areas . They traded Floyd Bannister to Seattle for shortstop Craig Reynolds and acquired catcher Alan Ashby from Toronto for pitcher Mark Lemongello . Reynolds and Ashby were both solid in their positions and gave Houston some much needed consistency . The season started with a boost from pitcher Ken Forsch , who threw a no - hitter the Braves the second game of the season . In May 1979 , New Jersey shipping tycoon Dr. John McMullen had agreed to buy the Astros . Now with an investor in charge , the Astros would be more likely to compete in the free agent market . The Astros were playing great baseball throughout the season . José Cruz and Enos Cabell both stole 30 bases . Joe Niekro had a great year with 21 wins and 3.00 ERA . J.R. Richard won 18 games and set a new personal strikeout record at 313 . Joe Sambito came into his own with 22 saves as the Astros closer . Things were going as they should for a team that could win the west . The Astros and Reds battled the final month of the season . The Reds pulled ahead of the Astros by a game and a half . Later that month they split a pair and the Reds kept the lead . That would be how it would end . The Astros finished with their best record to that point at 89 -- 73 and 11⁄2 games behind the NL winner Reds . With Dr. McMullen as sole owner of the Astros , the team would now benefit in ways a corporation could not give them . The rumors of the Astros moving out of Houston started to crumble and the Astros were now able to compete in the free - agent market . McMullen showed the city of Houston that he too wanted a winning team , signing nearby Alvin , Texas native Nolan Ryan to the first million - dollar - a-year deal . Ryan had four career no - hitters already and had struck out 383 in one season . 1980 -- 1985 : on the brink Joe Morgan returned in 1980 . Now back in Houston with two MVP awards and two World Series rings , Morgan wanted to help make the Astros a pennant winner . The 1980 pitching staff was one of the best Houston ever had , with the fastball of Ryan , the knuckleball of Joe Niekro and the terrifying 6 ft 8 in frame of J.R. Richard . Teams felt lucky to face Ken Forsch , who was a double - digit winner in the previous two seasons . Richard became the first Astros pitcher to start an All - Star game . After a medical examination three days later , Richard was told to rest his arm and he collapsed during a July 30 workout . He had suffered a stroke after a blood clot in the arm apparently moved to his neck and cut off blood flow to the brain . Surgery was done to save his life , but the Astros had lost their ace pitcher after a 10 -- 4 start with a stingy 1.89 ERA . Richard attempted a comeback , but would never again pitch a big league game . After the loss of Richard and some offensive struggles , the Astros slipped to third place in the division behind the Dodgers and the Reds . They bounced back to first with a ten - game winning streak , but the Dodgers had regained a two - game lead when they arrived in Houston on September 9 . The Astros won the first two games of that series and the two teams were tied for the division lead . The Astros held a three - game lead over the Dodgers with three games left in the season against the Dodgers . The Dodgers swept the series games , forcing a one - game playoff the next day . The Astros would however win the one - game playoff 7 -- 1 , and advance to their first post-season . The team would face the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1980 National League Championship Series . The Phillies sent out Steve Carlton in game one of the NLCS after a six - hour flight the night before . The Phillies would win the opener after the Astros got out to a 1 -- 0 third - inning lead . Ken Forsch pitched particularly strong fourth and fifth innings , but Greg Luzinski hit a sixth - inning two - run bomb to the 300 level seats of Veterans Stadium . The Phillies added an insurance run on the way to a 3 -- 1 win . Houston bounced back to win games two and three . Game four went into extra innings , with the Phillies taking the lead and the win in the tenth inning . Pete Rose started a rally with a one - out single , then Luzinski doubled off the left field wall and Rose bowled over catcher Bruce Bochy to score the go - ahead run . The Phillies got an insurance run on the way to tying the series . Rookie Phillies pitcher Marty Bystrom was sent out by Philadelphia manager Dallas Green to face veteran Nolan Ryan in Game Five . The rookie gave up a run in the first inning , then held the Astros at bay until the sixth inning . An Astros lead was lost when Bob Boone hit a two - out single in the second , but the Astros tied the game in the sixth with an Alan Ashby single scoring Denny Walling . Houston took a 5 -- 2 lead in the seventh , however the Phillies came back with five runs in the inning . The Astros came back against Tug McGraw with four singles and two two - out runs . Now in extra innings , Garry Maddox doubled in Del Unser with one out to give the Phillies an 8 -- 7 lead . The Astros failed to score in the bottom of the tenth . Astros starting pitcher Nolan Ryan in 1983 A 1981 player strike ran between June 12 and August 10 . Ultimately , the strike would help the Astros get into the playoffs . Nolan Ryan and Bob Knepper picked up steam in the second half of the season . Ryan threw his fifth no - hitter on September 26 and finished the season with a 1.69 ERA . Knepper finished with an ERA of 2.18 . In the wake of the strike , Major League Baseball took the winners of each `` half '' season and set up a best - of - five divisional playoff . The Reds won more games than any other team in the National League , but they won neither half of the strike - divided season . The Astros finished 61 -- 49 overall , which would have been third in the division behind the Reds and the Dodgers . Advancing to the playoffs as winners of the second half , Houston beat Los Angeles in their first two playoff games at home , but the Dodgers took the next three in Los Angeles to advance to the NLCS . By 1982 , only four players and three starting pitchers remained from the 1980 squad . The Astros were out of pennant contention by August and began rebuilding for the near future . Bill Virdon was fired as manager and replaced by original Colt . 45 Bob Lillis . Don Sutton asked to be traded and was sent to the Milwaukee Brewers for cash and the team gained three new prospects , including Kevin Bass . Minor league player Bill Doran was called up in September . Bass also got a look in the outfield . The Astros finished fourth in the west , but new talent was starting to appear . Before the 1983 season , the Astros traded Danny Heep to the Mets for pitcher Mike Scott , a 28 - year - old who had struggled with New York . Art Howe sat out the 1983 season with an injury , forcing Phil Garner to third and Ray Knight to first . Doran took over at second , becoming the everyday second baseman for the next seven seasons . The Astros finished third in the National League West . The 1984 season started off badly when shortstop Dickie Thon was hit in the head by a pitch and was lost for the season . In September , the Astros called up rookie Glenn Davis after he posted impressive numbers in AAA . The Astros finished in second place . In 1985 , Mike Scott learned a new pitch , the split - finger fastball . Scott , who was coming off of a 5 -- 11 season , had found his new pitch and would become one of Houston 's most celebrated hurlers . In June , Davis made the starting lineup at first base , adding power to the team . In September , Joe Niekro was traded to the Yankees for two minor league pitchers and lefty Jim Deshaies . The Astros finished in fourth place in 1985 . 1986 -- 1990 : lighting a fire After finishing fourth in 1985 , the Astros fired general manager Al Rosen and manager Bob Lillis . The former was supplanted by Dick Wagner , the man whose Reds defeated the Astros to win the 1979 NL West title . The latter was replaced by Hal Lanier who , like his manager mentor in St. Louis , Whitey Herzog , had a hard - nosed approach to managing and espoused a playing style that focused on pitching , defense , and speed rather than home runs to win games . This style of baseball , known as Whiteyball , took advantage of stadiums with deep fences and artificial turf , both of which were characteristics of the Astrodome . Lanier 's style of baseball took Houston by storm . Before Lanier took over , fans were accustomed to Houston 's occasional slow starts , but with Lanier leading the way , Houston got off to a hot start , winning 13 of their first 19 contests . Prior to the start of the season the Astros acquired outfielder Billy Hatcher from the Cubs for Jerry Mumphrey . Lainer also made a change in the pitching staff , going with a three - man rotation to start the season . This allowed Lanier to keep his three starters ( Nolan Ryan , Bob Knepper , and Mike Scott ) sharp and to slowly work in rookie hurler Jim Deshaies . Bill Doran and Glenn Davis held down the right side of the field but Lainer rotated the left side . Denny Walling and Craig Reynolds faced the right - handed pitchers while Phil Garner and Dickie Thon batted against left - handers . Lainer knew the Astros had talent and he put it to work . The Astrodome was host to the 1986 All - Star Game in which Astros Mike Scott , Kevin Bass , Glenn Davis , and Dave Smith represented the host field . The Astros kept pace with the NL West after the All - Star break . They went on a streak of five straight come - from - behind wins . Houston swept a key 3 - game series over the San Francisco Giants in late September to clinch the division title . Mike Scott took the mound in the final game of the series and pitched a no - hitter -- the only time in MLB history that any division was clinched via a no - hitter . Scott would finish the season with an 18 -- 10 record and a Cy Young Award . The 1986 National League Championship Series against the New York Mets was noted for great drama and is considered one of the best postseason series ever . In Game 3 , the Astros were ahead at Shea Stadium , 5 -- 4 , in the bottom of the 9th when closer Dave Smith gave up a two - run home run to Lenny Dykstra , giving the Mets a dramatic 6 -- 5 win . However , the signature game of the series was Game 6 . Needing a win to get to Mike Scott ( who had been dominant in the series ) in Game 7 , the Astros jumped off to a 3 -- 0 lead in the first inning but neither team would score again until the 9th inning . In the 9th , starting pitcher Bob Knepper would give up two runs , and once again the Astros would look to Dave Smith to close it out . However , Smith would walk Gary Carter and Darryl Strawberry , giving up a sacrifice fly to Ray Knight , tying the game . Despite having the go - ahead runs on base , Smith was able to escape the inning without any further damage . There was no scoring until the 14th inning when the Mets would take the lead on a Wally Backman single and an error by left fielder Billy Hatcher . The Astros would get the run back in the bottom of the 14th when Hatcher ( in a classic goat - to - hero - conversion - moment ) hit one of the most dramatic home runs in NLCS history , off the left field foul pole . In the 16th inning , Darryl Strawberry doubled to lead off the inning and Ray Knight drove him home in the next at - bat . The Mets would score a total of three runs in the inning to take what appeared an insurmountable 7 -- 4 lead . With their season on the line , the Astros would nonetheless rally for two runs to come to within 7 -- 6 . Kevin Bass came up with the tying and winning runs on base ; however Jesse Orosco would strike him out , ending the game . At the time the 16 - inning game held the record for the longest in MLB postseason history . The Mets won the series , 4 -- 2 . After the 1986 season , the team had difficulty finding success again . Several changes occurred . The `` rainbow '' uniforms were phased out , the team electing to keep a five - stripe `` rainbow '' design on the sleeves . From 1987 to 1993 , the Astros wore the same uniform for both home and away games ; the only team in Major League Baseball to do so during that period . Its favorites Nolan Ryan and José Cruz moved on and the team entered a rebuilding phase . Craig Biggio debuted in June 1988 , joining new prospects Ken Caminiti and Gerald Young . Biggio would become the everyday catcher by 1990 . A trade acquiring Jeff Bagwell in exchange for Larry Andersen would become one of the biggest deals in Astros history . Glenn Davis was traded to Baltimore for Curt Schilling , Pete Harnisch and Steve Finley in 1990 . 1991 -- 1999 : fine tuning The early 1990s were marked by the Astros ' growing discontent with their home , the Astrodome . After the Astrodome was renovated for the primary benefit of the NFL 's Houston Oilers ( who shared the Astrodome with the Astros since the 1960s ) , the Astros began to grow increasingly disenchanted with the facility . Faced with declining attendance at the Astrodome and the inability of management to obtain a new stadium , in the 1991 off - season Astros management announced its intention to sell the team and move the franchise to the Washington , D.C. area . However , the move was not approved by other National League owners , thus compelling the Astros to remain in Houston . Shortly thereafter , McMullen ( who also owned the NHL 's New Jersey Devils ) sold the team to Texas businessman Drayton McLane in 1993 , who committed to keeping the team in Houston . Shortly after McLane 's arrival , which coincided with the maturation of Bagwell and Biggio , the Astros began to show signs of consistent success . After finishing second in their division in 1994 ( in a strike year ) , 1995 , and 1996 , the Astros won consecutive division titles in 1997 , 1998 , and 1999 . In the 1998 season , the Astros set a team record with 102 victories . However , each of these titles was followed by a first - round playoff elimination , in 1998 by the San Diego Padres and in 1997 and 1999 against the Atlanta Braves . The manager of these title teams was Larry Dierker , who had previously been a broadcaster and pitcher for the Astros . During this period , Bagwell , Biggio , Derek Bell , and Sean Berry earned the collective nickname `` The Killer Bs '' . In later seasons , the name came to include other Astros , especially Lance Berkman . Coinciding with the change in ownership , the team switched uniforms and team colors after the 1993 season in order to go for a new , more serious image . The team 's trademark rainbow uniforms were retired , and the team 's colors changed to midnight blue and metallic gold . The `` Astros '' font on the team logo was changed to a more aggressive one , and the team 's traditional star logo was changed to a stylized , `` flying '' star with an open left end . It marked the first time since the team 's inception that orange was not part of the team 's colors . Despite general agreement that the rainbow uniforms identified with the team had become tired ( and looked too much like a minor league team according to the new owners ) , the new uniforms and caps were never especially popular with many Astros fans . Astros logo , 1994 -- 1999 Final Astros regular season game in the Astrodome on October 3 , 1999 Off the field , in 1994 , the Astros hired one of the first African American general managers , former franchise player Bob Watson . Watson would leave the Astros after the 1995 season to become general manager of the New York Yankees and helped to lead the Yankees to a World Championship in 1996 . He would be replaced by Gerry Hunsicker , who until 2004 would continue to oversee the building of the Astros into one of the better and most consistent organizations in the Major Leagues . However , in 1996 , the Astros again nearly left Houston . By the mid-1990s , McLane ( like McMullen before him ) wanted his team out of the Astrodome and was asking the city to build the Astros a new stadium . When things did not progress quickly toward that end , he put the team up for sale . He had nearly finalized a deal to sell the team to businessman William Collins , who planned to move them to Northern Virginia . However , Collins was having difficulty finding a site for a stadium himself , so Major League owners stepped in and forced McLane to give Houston another chance to grant his stadium wish . Houston voters , having already lost the Houston Oilers in a similar situation , responded positively via a stadium referendum and the Astros stayed put . 2000 -- 2004 : new Ballpark Astros logo , 2000 -- 2012 The 2000 season saw a move to a new stadium . Originally to be named The Ballpark at Union Station due to being located on the site of Union Station ( Houston ) , it was renamed Enron Field by the season opening after the naming rights were sold to energy corporation Enron . The stadium was to feature a retractable roof , a particularly useful feature with unpredictable Houston weather . The ballpark also featured more intimate surroundings than the Astrodome . In 2002 , naming rights were purchased by Houston - based Minute Maid , after Enron went bankrupt . The park was built on the grounds of the old Union Station . A locomotive moves across the outfield and whistles after home runs , paying homage to a Houston history which had eleven railroad company lines running through the city by 1860 . The ballpark previously contained quirks such as `` Tal 's Hill '' , which was a hill in deep center field on which a flagpole stood , all in fair territory . Tal 's Hill was replaced in the 2016 -- 2017 offseason . The wall was moved in to 409 feet , which the team hoped would generate more home runs . A similar feature was located in Crosley Field . Over the years , many highlight reel catches have been made by center fielders running up the hill to make catches . With the change in location also came a change in attire . Gone were the blue and gold uniforms of the 1990s in favor a more `` retro '' look with pinstripes , a traditional baseball font , and the colors of brick red , sand and black . These colors were chosen because ownership originally wanted to rename the team the Houston Diesels . The `` shooting star '' logo was modified but still retained its definitive look . The Astros moved into Minute Maid Park in 2000 After two fairly successful seasons without a playoff appearance , the Astros were early favorites to win the 2004 NL pennant . They added star pitcher Andy Pettitte to a roster that already included standouts like Lance Berkman and Jeff Kent as well as veterans Bagwell and Biggio . Roger Clemens , who had retired after the 2003 season with the New York Yankees , agreed to join former teammate Pettitte on the Astros for 2004 . The one - year deal included unique conditions , such as the option for Clemens to stay home in Houston on select road trips when he was n't scheduled to pitch . Despite the early predictions for success , the Astros had a mediocre 44 -- 44 record at the All - Star break . A lack of run production and a poor record in close games were major issues . After being booed at the 2004 All - Star Game held in Houston , manager Jimy Williams was fired and replaced by Phil Garner , a star on the division - winning 1986 Astros . The Astros enjoyed a 46 -- 26 record in the second half of the season under Garner and earned the NL wild card spot . The Astros defeated the Braves 3 -- 2 in the Division Series , but would lose the National League Championship Series to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games . Clemens earned a record seventh Cy Young Award in 2004 . Additionally , the mid-season addition of Carlos Beltrán in a trade with the Kansas City Royals helped the Astros tremendously in their playoff run . Despite midseason trade rumors , Beltrán would prove instrumental to the team 's hopes , hitting eight home runs in the postseason . Though he had asserted a desire to remain with the Astros , Beltrán signed a long - term contract with the New York Mets on January 9 , 2005 . 2005 : first World Series played in Texas Main article : 2005 Houston Astros season In 2005 , the Astros started poorly and found themselves with a 15 -- 30 record in late May . The Houston Chronicle had written them off with a tombstone emblazoned with `` RIP 2005 Astros '' . However , from that low point until the end of July , Houston went 42 -- 17 and found themselves in the lead for an NL wild card spot . July saw the best single - month record in the club 's history at 22 - 7 . Offensive production had increased greatly after a slow start in the first two months . The Astros had also developed an excellent pitching staff , anchored by Roy Oswalt ( 20 -- 12 , 2.94 ) , Andy Pettitte ( 17 -- 9 , 2.39 ) , and Roger Clemens ( 13 -- 8 with a league - low ERA of only 1.87 ) . The contributions of the other starters -- Brandon Backe ( 10 -- 8 , 4.76 ) and rookie starters Ezequiel Astacio ( 3 -- 6 , 5.67 ) and Wandy Rodríguez ( 10 -- 10 , 5.53 ) -- were less remarkable , but enough to push the Astros into position for a playoff run . The Astros won a wild card berth on the final day of the regular season , becoming the first team since the world champion 1914 Boston Braves to qualify for the postseason after being 15 games under . 500 . The Astros won the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves , 3 -- 1 , with a game four that set postseason records for most innings ( 18 ) , most players used by a single team ( 23 ) , and longest game time ( 5 hours and 50 minutes ) . Trailing by a score of 6 -- 1 , Lance Berkman hit an eighth - inning grand slam to narrow the score to 6 -- 5 . In the bottom of the ninth , catcher Brad Ausmus hit a game - tying home run that allowed the game to continue in extra innings . In the bottom of the tenth inning , Luke Scott hit a blast to left field that had home run distance , but was inches foul . This game remained scoreless for the next eight innings . In the top of the fifteenth inning , Roger Clemens made only his second career relief appearance , pitching three shutout innings , notably striking out Julio Franco , at the time the oldest player in the MLB at 47 years old ; Clemens was himself 43 . In the bottom of the eighteenth inning , Clemens came to bat again , indicating that he would be pitching in the nineteenth inning , if it came to that . Clemens struck out , but the next batter , Chris Burke , hit a home run to left field for the Astros win , 7 -- 6 . Oddly enough , a fan in the `` Crawford Boxes '' in left field had previously caught Berkman 's grand slam and this same fan caught Burke 's home run . The National League Championship Series featured a rematch of the 2004 NLCS . The Astros lost the first game in St. Louis , but would win the next three games , with Roy Oswalt getting the win . Though the Astros were poised to close out the series in Game Five in Houston , Brad Lidge gave up a monstrous two - out three - run home run to Albert Pujols , forcing the series to a sixth game in St. Louis , where the Astros clinched a World Series appearance . Roy Oswalt was named NLCS MVP , having gone 2 -- 0 with a 1.29 ERA in the series . Current honorary NL President William Y. Giles presented the league champion Astros with the Warren C. Giles Trophy . Warren Giles , William 's father and President of the National League from 1951 to 1969 , had awarded an MLB franchise to the city of Houston in 1960 . The Astros faced the Chicago White Sox in the World Series . Chicago had been considered the slight favorite but would win all four games , the first two at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago and the final two in Houston . Game 3 marked the first World Series game held in the state of Texas , and was the longest game in World Series history , lasting 5 hours and 41 minutes . This World Series was marked by a controversy involving the Minute Maid Park roof . MLB & Commissioner Bud Selig insisted that the Astros must play with the roof open , which mitigated the intensity and enthusiasm of the cheering Astros fans . 2006 -- 2010 : the decline In the 2006 offseason , the team signed Preston Wilson and moved Berkman to first base , ending the long tenure of Jeff Bagwell . The Astros renewed the contract with Clemens and traded two minor league prospects to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for left - handed hitter Aubrey Huff . By August , Preston Wilson complained about his playing time after the return of Luke Scott from AAA Round Rock . The Astros released Wilson and he was signed by St. Louis . A dramatic season end included wins in 10 of their last 12 games , but the Astros missed a playoff appearance when they lost the final game of the season to the Atlanta Braves . On October 31 , the Astros declined a contract option on Jeff Bagwell for 2007 , ending his 15 - year Astros career and leading to his retirement . Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte filed for free agency . On December 12 , the Astros traded Willy Taveras , Taylor Buchholz , and Jason Hirsh to the Colorado Rockies for Rockies pitchers Jason Jennings and Miguel Asencio . A trade with the White Sox , involving the same three Astros in exchange for Jon Garland , had been nixed a few days earlier when Buchholz reportedly failed a physical . In the end , Taveras continued to develop and Hirsh had a strong 2007 rookie campaign , while Jennings was often injured and generally ineffective . Astros ' outfielder Orlando Palmeiro , 2007 On April 28 , 2007 , the Astros purchased the contract of top minor league prospect Hunter Pence . He debuted that night , getting a hit and scoring a run . By May 2007 , the Astros had suffered one of their worst recent losing streaks ( 10 games ) . On June 28 , second baseman Craig Biggio became the 27th MLB player to accrue 3,000 career hits . Biggio needed three hits to reach 3,000 and on that night he had five hits . That night , Carlos Lee hit a towering walk - off grand slam in the eleventh inning. Lee later quipped to the newsmedia that `` he had hit a walk - off grand slam and he got second billing '' , considering Biggio 's achievement . On July 24 , Biggio announced that he would retire at the end of the season . He hit a grand slam in that night 's game which broke a 3 -- 3 tie and led to an Astros win . In Biggio 's last at bat , he grounded out to Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves . On September 20 , Ed Wade was named General Manager . In his first move , he traded Jason Lane to the Padres on September 24 . On September 30 , Craig Biggio retired after twenty years with the team . In November , the Astros traded RHP Brad Lidge and SS Eric Bruntlett to the Philadelphia Phillies for OF Michael Bourn , RHP Geoff Geary , and minor leaguer Mike Costanzo . Utility player Mark Loretta accepted Houston 's salary arbitration and Kazuo Matsui finalized a $16.5 million , three - year contract with the team . In December the Astros traded OF Luke Scott , RHP Matt Albers , RHP Dennis Sarfate , LHP Troy Patton , and minor - league 3B Mike Costanzo , to the Baltimore Orioles for SS Miguel Tejada . On December 14 , they sent infielder Chris Burke , RHP Juan Gutiérrez , and RHP Chad Qualls to the Arizona Diamondbacks for RHP José Valverde . On December 27 , the Astros came to terms on a deal with All - Star , Gold Glove winner Darin Erstad . In January and February 2008 , the Astros signed Brandon Backe , Ty Wigginton , Dave Borkowski and Shawn Chacón to one - year deals . The starting rotation would feature Roy Oswalt and Brandon Backe as numbers one and two . Wandy Rodríguez , Chacón and Chris Sampson rounded out the bottom three slots in the rotation . Woody Williams had retired after a 0 -- 4 spring training and Jason Jennings was now with Texas . On the other side of the roster , the Astros would start without Kazuo Matsui , who was on a minor league rehab assignment after a spring training injury . The Astros regressed in 2008 and 2009 , finishing with records of 86 -- 75 and 74 -- 88 , respectively . Manager Cecil Cooper was fired after the 2009 season . 2010 -- 2014 : last years in the NL and move to the AL West The 2010 season was the first season as Astros manager for Brad Mills , who was previously the bench coach of the Boston Red Sox . The Astros struggled throughout a season that was marked by trade - deadline deals that sent longtime Astros to other teams . On July 29 , the Astros ' ace starting pitcher , Roy Oswalt , was dealt to the Philadelphia Phillies for J.A. Happ and two minor league players . On July 31 , outfielder Lance Berkman was traded to the New York Yankees for minor leaguers Jimmy Paredes and Mark Melancon . The Astros finished with a record of 76 -- 86 . On July 30 , 2011 , the Astros traded OF Hunter Pence , the team 's 2010 leader in home runs , to the Philadelphia Phillies . On July 31 , they traded OF Michael Bourn to the Atlanta Braves . On September 17 , the Astros clinched their first 100 - loss season in franchise history , On September 28 , the Astros ended the season with an 8 -- 0 home loss to the St. Louis Cardinals . Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter pitched a complete game , two - hit shutout in the game , enabling the Cardinals to win the National League Wild Card , where they went on to beat the Texas Rangers in the World Series , with Lance Berkman being a key player in their championship victory . The Astros finished with a record of 56 -- 106 , the worst single - season record in franchise history ( a record which would be broken the following season ) . In November 2010 , Drayton McLane announced that the Astros were being put up for sale . McLane stated that because the Astros were one of the few franchises in Major League Baseball with only one family as the owners , he was planning his estate . McLane was 75 years old as of November 2011 . In March 2011 , local Houston businessman Jim Crane emerged as the front - runner to purchase the franchise . In the 1980s , Crane founded an air freight business which later merged with CEVA Logistics , and later founded Crane Capital Group . McLane and Crane had a previous handshake agreement for the franchise in 2008 , but Crane abruptly changed his mind and broke off discussions . Crane also attempted to buy the Chicago Cubs in 2008 and the Texas Rangers during their 2010 bankruptcy auction . Crane came under scrutiny because of previous allegations of discriminatory hiring practices regarding women and minorities , among other issues . This delayed MLB 's approval process . During the summer of 2011 , a frustrated Crane hinted that the delays might threaten the deal . In October 2011 , Crane met personally with MLB Commissioner Bud Selig , in a meeting that was described as `` constructive '' . On November 15 , 2011 , it was announced that Crane had agreed to move the franchise to the American League for the 2013 season . The move was part of an overall divisional realignment of MLB , with the National and American leagues each having 15 teams in three geographically balanced divisions . Crane was given a $70 million concession by MLB for agreeing to the switch ; the move was a condition for the sale to the new ownership group . Two days later , the Astros were officially sold to Crane after the other owners unanimously voted in favor of the sale . It was also announced that 2012 would be the last season for the Astros in the NL . After over fifty years of the Astros being a part of the National League , this move was unpopular with many Astros fans . Astros second baseman José Altuve in 2013 In 2012 , the Astros were eliminated from the playoffs before September 5 . On September 27 , the Astros named Bo Porter to be the manager for the 2013 season . On October 3 , the Astros ended over 50 years of NL play with a 5 -- 4 loss to the Chicago Cubs and began to look ahead to join the American League . Winning only 20 road games during the entire season , the Astros finished with a 55 -- 107 record , the worst record in all of Major League Baseball for the 2012 season , and surpassing the 2011 season for the worst record in Astros history . On November 2 , 2012 , the Astros unveiled their new look in preparation for their move to the American League for the 2013 season . The uniform is navy and orange , going back to the original 1960s team colors , as well as debuting a new version of the classic navy hat with a white `` H '' over an orange star . On November 6 , 2012 , the Astros hired former Cleveland Indians director of baseball operations David Stearns as the team 's new assistant general manager . The Astros would also go on to hire former St. Louis Cardinals front office executive Jeff Luhnow as their general manager . The Houston Astros played their first game as an American League team on March 31 , 2013 , where they were victorious over their in - state division competitor , the Texas Rangers , with a score of 8 -- 2 . On September 29 , the Astros completed their first year in the American League , losing 5 -- 1 in a 14 - inning game to the New York Yankees . The Astros finished the season with a 51 -- 111 record ( a franchise worst ) with a season ending 15 - game losing streak , again surpassing their worst record from the previous season . The team finished 45 games behind the division winner Oakland Athletics , further adding to their futility . This marked three consecutive years that the Astros had lost more than 100 games in a single season . They also became the first team to have the first overall pick in the draft three years in a row . They improved on their season in 2014 , going 70 -- 92 , finishing 28 games back over the division winner Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim , and placing fourth in the AL West over the Texas Rangers . 2015 -- present : sudden success and first World Series title This section needs additional citations for verification .

The Astros retook first place on July 29 , but fell from first on September 15 . In September 2015 , four men died who had been closely associated with the team : Yogi Berra , Gene Elston , Milo Hamilton , and John McMullen . McMullen and Hamilton passed on the same Thursday , September 17 , 2015 , Elston on September 5th , and Berra on September 22 . McMullen , after being a co-owner of the New York Yankees , purchased the Astros in 1979 . He also brought Nolan Ryan to the Astros . In 1980 , the Astros played the Philadelphia Phillies for the NL pennant with Gene Elston on the radio . In 1985 , McMullen brought Yogi Berra in to be a bench coach for the new Astros manager Hal Lanier for the 1986 season , with Milo Hamilton on the radio . Dallas Keuchel led the AL with 20 victories , going 15 -- 0 at home , an MLB record . Key additions to the team included Scott Kazmir and SS Carlos Correa who hit 22 home runs , being called up in June 2015 . 2B José Altuve picked up where he left off as the star of the Astros ' offense . On July 30 , the Astros picked up Mike Fiers and Carlos Gómez from the Milwaukee Brewers . Fiers threw the 11th no - hitter in Astros history on August 21 against the Los Angeles Dodgers . Houston got the final AL playoff spot and faced the Yankees in the Wild Card Game on October 6 at New York . They defeated the Yankees 3 -- 0 , but lost to the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series . The Astros split the first two games of the ALDS best - of - five series in Kansas City . The Astros won the first game at Minute Maid to take a 2 -- 1 lead in the ALDS . In game 4 , after 7 innings , the Astros had a 6 -- 2 lead . In the top half of the eighth inning , which took about 45 minutes to end , the Royals had taken a 7 -- 6 lead with a series of consecutive base hits . The Astros suffered a 9 -- 6 loss and the ALDS was tied at 2 -- 2 . Then the series went back to Kansas City , where the Royals clinched the series in the fifth game , 7 -- 2 . The Astros entered the 2016 season as the favorites to win the AL West after a promising 2015 season . After a bad start to their season , with Houston going just 7 -- 17 in April , the Astros bounced back and went on to have a winning record in their next four months , including an 18 -- 8 record in June . But after going 12 -- 15 in September , the Astros were eliminated from playoff contention . They finished in third place in the American League West Division with a final record of 84 -- 78 . On August 10 , 2016 Gómez was designated for assignment by the Astros after a dreadful campaign with the team . He was released on August 18 , 2016 . Gomez finished his Astros career batting a career low average of . 210 and only hitting 5 HR through 85 games with the club . Gómez later signed with division rival Texas . The season was marked by the Astros 4 -- 15 record against their in - state division rival ( and eventual division winner ) Texas Rangers . The Astros finished the 2016 season eleven games behind the Rangers . Many buildings in the skyline of Downtown Houston participated in cheering for the Astros during the 2017 World Series . In 2014 , Sports Illustrated predicted the Astros would win the 2017 World Series through their strategic rebuilding process . As of June 9 , the Astros were 41 -- 16 , which gave them a 13.5 - game lead over the rest of their division , and they had comfortable possession of the best record in the entire league . This was the best start in the Astros ' 55 - year history . As the games of June 23 concluded , the Astros had an 11.5 - game lead over the rest of the division . The Astros entered the All - Star Break with an American League - best 60 -- 29 record and a 16 - game lead in the division , although the overall best record in MLB had just barely slipped to the Dodgers shortly before the All - Star Break by just one game . With Hurricane Harvey causing massive flooding throughout Houston and southeast Texas , the Astros ' three - game series against the Texas Rangers for August 29 -- 31 , was relocated to Tropicana Field ( home of the Tampa Bay Rays ) , in St. Petersburg , Florida . The Astros greatly improved against the Rangers in 2017 , going 12 -- 7 against them and winning the season series . At the August 31 waiver - trade deadline GM Jeff Luhnow acquired veteran starting pitcher and Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander to bolster the starting rotation . Verlander won each of his 5 regular season starts with the Astros , yielding only 4 runs over this stretch . He carried his success into the playoffs , posting a record of 4 -- 1 in his 6 starts , and throwing a complete game in Game 2 of the ALCS . Verlander was named the 2017 ALCS MVP . The 2017 team at the White House with President Donald Trump The Astros clinched their first division title as a member of the American League West division , and first division title overall since 2001 .

The team will play the 2017 and 2018 seasons in Buies Creek while a new stadium is built in Fayetteville . Radio and television See also : Houston Astros Radio Network Since 2013 , the Astros ' flagship radio station is KBME , Sportstalk 790 AM ( a Fox Sports Radio affiliate ) . Previously , the team had a partnership with KTRH ( 740 AM ) which went from 1999 to 2012 ( both stations are owned by iHeartMedia ) . This change suddenly made it difficult for listeners outside of Houston itself to hear the Astros , as KTRH runs 50 kilowatts of power day and night , and KBME runs only five kilowatts . As a result , KTRH is audible across much of Central , East , and South Texas , whereas KBME can only be heard in Houston , especially after dark . Milo Hamilton , a veteran voice who was on the call for Hank Aaron 's 715th career home run in 1974 , retired at the end of the 2012 season , after broadcasting play - by - play for the Astros since 1985 . Dave Raymond and Brett Dolan shared play - by play duty for road games , while Raymond additionally worked as Hamilton 's color analyst ( while Hamilton called home games only for the past few seasons before his retirement ) ; they were not retained and instead brought in Robert Ford and Steve Sparks to begin broadcasting for the 2013 season . Spanish language radio play - by - play is handled by Francisco Romero , and his play - by - play partner is Alex Treviño , a former backup catcher for the club . During the 2012 season Astros games on television were announced by Bill Brown and Jim Deshaies . In the seven seasons before then , Astros games were broadcast on television by Fox Sports Houston , with select games shown on broadcast TV by KTXH . As part of a ten - year , $1 billion deal with Comcast that includes a majority stake jointly held by the Astros and the Houston Rockets , Houston Astros games moved to the new Comcast SportsNet Houston at the beginning of the 2013 season . On September 27 , 2013 CSN Houston filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and surprising the Astros who own the largest stake . After being brought out of bankruptcy by DirecTV Sports Networks and AT&T , the channel 's name was changed to Root Sports Southwest then later AT&T SportsNet Southwest . The current television team consists of Todd Kalas and Geoff Blum . Mascots Main article : Orbit ( mascot ) Orbit , Houston Astros mascot from 1990 -- 1999 , 2013 -- present Orbit is the name given to MLB 's Houston Astros mascot , a lime - green outer - space creature wearing an Astros jersey with antennae extending into baseballs . Orbit was the team 's official mascot from the 1990 through the 1999 seasons , where Junction Jack was introduced as the team 's mascot with the move from the Astrodome to then Enron Field in 2000 . Orbit returned after 13 - year hiatus on November 2 , 2012 at the unveiling of the Astros new look for their 2013 debut in the American League . The name Orbit pays homage to Houston 's association with NASA and nickname Space City . The Astros had been represented by a trio of rabbit mascots named Junction Jack , Jesse and Julie from 2000 through 2012 . In April 1977 , the Houston Astros introduced their very first mascot , Chester Charge . Created by Ed Henderson , Chester Charge was a Texas cavalry soldier on a horse . Chester appeared on the field at the beginning of each home game , during the seventh inning stretch and then ran around the bases at the conclusion of each win . At the blast of a bugle , the scoreboard would light up and the audience would yell , `` Charge !

"On November 15, 2011, it was announced that Crane had agreed to move the franchise to the American League for the 2013 season. The move was part of an overall divisional realignment of MLB, with the National and American leagues each having 15 teams in three geographically balanced divisions. Crane was given a $70 million concession by MLB for agreeing to the switch; the move was a condition for the sale to the new ownership group.[61] Two days later, the Astros were officially sold to Crane after the other owners unanimously voted in favor of the sale.[3] It was also announced that 2012 would be the last season for the Astros in the NL.[62] After over fifty years of the Astros being a part of the National League, this move was unpopular with many Astros fans.[63][64]\n"

-9071262763638522119 | Third World | Third World - wikipedia Third World Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Third World ( disambiguation ) . The `` three worlds '' of the Cold War era , as of the period between April 1975 and August 1975 . First World : United States , United Kingdom and their allies . Second World : Soviet Union , China , and their allies . Third World : neutral and non-aligned countries . The term `` Third World '' arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO or the Communist Bloc . The United States , Canada , Japan , South Korea , Western European nations and their allies represented the First World , while the Soviet Union , China , Cuba , and their allies represented the Second World . This terminology provided a way of broadly categorizing the nations of the Earth into three groups based on political and economic divisions . Since the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War , the term Third World has been used less and less . It is being replaced with terms such as developing countries , least developed countries or the Global South . The concept itself has become outdated as it no longer represents the current political or economic state of the world . The Third World was normally seen to include many countries with colonial pasts in Africa , Latin America , Oceania and Asia . It was also sometimes taken as synonymous with countries in the Non-Aligned Movement . In the dependency theory of thinkers like Raúl Prebisch , Walter Rodney , Theotonio dos Santos , and Andre Gunder Frank , the Third World has also been connected to the world - systemic economic division as `` periphery '' countries dominated by the countries comprising the economic `` core '' . Due to the complex history of evolving meanings and contexts , there is no clear or agreed - upon definition of the Third World . Some countries in the Communist Bloc , such as Cuba , were often regarded as `` Third World '' . Because many Third World countries were economically poor , and non-industrialized , it became a stereotype to refer to poor countries as `` third world countries '' , yet the `` Third World '' term is also often taken to include newly industrialized countries like Brazil , India and China now more commonly referred to as part of BRIC . Historically , some European countries were non-aligned and a few of these were and are very prosperous , including Ireland , Austria , Sweden , Finland , Switzerland and Yugoslavia . Contents ( hide ) 1 Etymology 2 Third World vs. Three Worlds 3 Third Worldism 4 History 5 Development aid 6 Great Divergence and Great Convergence 7 See also 8 Notes 9 Further reading Etymology ( edit ) French demographer , anthropologist and historian Alfred Sauvy , in an article published in the French magazine L'Observateur , August 14 , 1952 , coined the term Third World ( French : Tiers Monde ) , referring to countries that were unaligned with either the Communist Soviet bloc or the Capitalist NATO bloc during the Cold War . His usage was a reference to the Third Estate , the commoners of France who , before and during the French Revolution , opposed the clergy and nobles , who composed the First Estate and Second Estate , respectively . Sauvy wrote , `` This third world ignored , exploited , despised like the third estate also wants to be something . '' He conveyed the concept of political non-alignment with either the capitalist or communist bloc . Third World vs. three worlds ( edit ) See also : Three World Model and Three Worlds Theory The `` Three Worlds Theory '' developed by Mao Zedong is different from the Western theory of the Three Worlds or Third World . For example , in the Western theory , China and India belong respectively to the second and third worlds , but in Mao 's theory both China and India are part of the Third World which he defined as consisting of exploited nations . Third Worldism ( edit ) Main article : Third - Worldism Third Worldism is a political movement that argues for the unity of third - world nations against first - world influence and the principle of non-interference in other countries ' domestic affairs . Groups most notable for expressing and exercising this idea are the Non-Aligned Movement ( NAM ) and the Group of 77 which provide a base for relations and diplomacy between not just the third - world countries , but between the third - world and the first and second worlds . The notion has been criticized as providing a fig leaf for human - rights violations and political repression by dictatorships . History ( edit ) Most Third World countries are former colonies . Having gained independence , many of these countries , especially smaller ones , were faced with the challenges of nation - and institution - building on their own for the first time . Due to this common background , many of these nations were `` developing '' in economic terms for most of the 20th century , and many still are . This term , used today , generally denotes countries that have not developed to the same levels as OECD countries , and are thus in the process of developing . In the 1980s , economist Peter Bauer offered a competing definition for the term `` Third World '' . He claimed that the attachment of Third World status to a particular country was not based on any stable economic or political criteria , and was a mostly arbitrary process . The large diversity of countries considered part of the Third World -- from Indonesia to Afghanistan -- ranged widely from economically primitive to economically advanced and from politically non-aligned to Soviet - or Western - leaning . An argument could also be made for how parts of the U.S. are more like the Third World . The only characteristic that Bauer found common in all Third World countries was that their governments `` demand and receive Western aid , '' the giving of which he strongly opposed . Thus , the aggregate term `` Third World '' was challenged as misleading even during the Cold War period , because it had no consistent or collective identity among the countries it supposedly encompassed . Development aid ( edit ) Main article : Development aid Least Developed Countries in blue , as designated by the United Nations . Countries formerly considered Least Developed in green . During the Cold War , unaligned countries of the Third World were seen as potential allies by both the First and Second World . Therefore , the United States and the Soviet Union went to great lengths to establish connections in these countries by offering economic and military support to gain strategically located alliances ( e.g. , United States in Vietnam or Soviet Union in Cuba ) . By the end of the Cold War , many Third World countries had adopted capitalist or communist economic models and continued to receive support from the side they had chosen . Throughout the Cold War and beyond , the countries of the Third World have been the priority recipients of Western foreign aid and the focus of economic development through mainstream theories such as modernization theory and dependency theory . By the end of the 1960s , the idea of the Third World came to represent countries in Africa , Asia and Latin America that were considered underdeveloped by the West based on a variety of characteristics ( low economic development , low life expectancy , high rates of poverty and disease , etc . ) . These countries became the targets for aid and support from governments , NGOs and individuals from wealthier nations . One popular model , known as Rostow 's stages of growth , argued that development took place in 5 stages ( Traditional Society ; Pre-conditions for Take - off ; Take - off ; Drive to Maturity ; Age of High Mass Consumption ) . W.W. Rostow argued that Take - off was the critical stage that the Third World was missing or struggling with . Thus , foreign aid was needed to help kick - start industrialization and economic growth in these countries . Great Divergence and Great Convergence ( edit ) Density function of the world 's income distribution in 1970 by continent , logarithmic scale : The division of the world into `` rich '' and `` poor '' is striking , and the world 's poverty is concentrated in Asia . Density function of the world 's income distribution in 2015 by continent , logarithmic scale : The division of the world into `` rich '' and `` poor '' was vanished , and the world 's poverty can be found mainly in Africa . Asia and Oceania Africa America Europe Many times there is a clear distinction between First and Third Worlds . When talking about the Global North and the Global South , the majority of the time the two go hand in hand . People refer to the two as `` Third World / South '' and `` First World / North '' because the Global North is more affluent and developed , whereas the Global South is less developed and often poorer . To counter this mode of thought , some scholars began proposing the idea of a change in world dynamics that began in the late 1980s , and termed it the Great Convergence . As Jack A. Goldstone and his colleagues put it , `` in the twentieth century , the Great Divergence peaked before the First World War and continued until the early 1970s , then , after two decades of indeterminate fluctuations , in the late 1980s it was replaced by the Great Convergence as the majority of Third World countries reached economic growth rates significantly higher than those in most First World countries '' . Others have observed a return to Cold War - era alignments ( MacKinnon , 2007 ; Lucas , 2008 ) , this time with substantial changes between 1990 -- 2015 in geography , the world economy and relationship dynamics between current and emerging world powers ; not necessarily redefining the classic meaning of First , Second , and Third World terms , but rather which countries belong to them by way of association to which world power or coalition of countries -- such as G7 , the European Union , OECD ; G20 , OPEC , BRICS , ASEAN ; the African Union , and the Eurasian Union .

-380474121856071225 | Removal of Confederate monuments and memorials | Removal of Confederate monuments and memorials - wikipedia Removal of Confederate monuments and memorials Jump to : navigation , search See also : List of Confederate monuments and memorials and Monument and memorial controversies in the United States The Robert E. Lee monument in New Orleans being lowered , May 19 , 2017 In the wake of the Charleston church shooting in June 2015 , several municipalities in the United States removed monuments and memorials on public property dedicated to the Confederate States of America . The momentum accelerated in August 2017 after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville , Virginia . The removals were driven by the belief that the monuments glorify white supremacy and memorialize a government whose founding principle was the perpetuation and expansion of slavery . Many of those who object to the removals claim that the artifacts are part of the cultural heritage of the United States . The vast majority of these Confederate monuments were built during the Jim Crow Era ( 1877 - 1954 ) and the African - American Civil Rights Movement ( 1954 -- 1968 ) era as a means of intimidating African Americans and reaffirming white supremacy . The monuments have thus become highly politicized ; according to Eleanor Harvey , a senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and a scholar of Civil War history : `` If white nationalists and neo-Nazis are now claiming this as part of their heritage , they have essentially co-opted those images and those statues beyond any capacity to neutralize them again '' . According to Stan Deaton , senior historian at the Georgia Historical Society , `` These laws are the Old South imposing its moral and its political views on us forever more . This is what led to the Civil War , and it still divides us as a country . We have competing visions not only about the future but about the past .

Many of the Confederate monuments concerned were built in periods of racial conflict , such as when Jim Crow laws were being introduced in the late 19th century and at the start of the 20th century or during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s . These two periods also coincided with the 50th anniversary and the American Civil War Centennial . The peak in construction of Civil War Monuments occurred between the late 1890s up to 1920 , with a second , smaller peak in the late 1950s to mid 1960s . According to historian Jane Dailey from University of Chicago , in many cases the purpose of the monuments was not to celebrate the past but rather to promote a `` white supremacist future '' . Another historian , Karyn Cox , from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte , has written that the monuments are `` a legacy of the brutally racist Jim Crow era '' . A historian from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , James Leloudis , stated that `` The funders and backers of these monuments are very explicit that they are requiring a political education and a legitimacy for the Jim Crow era and the right of white men to rule . '' Adam Goodheart , Civil War author and director of the Starr Center at Washington College , stated in National Geographic : `` They 're 20th - century artifacts in the sense that a lot of it had to do with a vision of national unity that embraced Southerners as well as Northerners , but importantly still excluded black people . '' Academic commentary ( edit ) In an August 2017 statement on the monuments controversy , the American Historical Association ( AHA ) said that to remove a monument `` is not to erase history , but rather to alter or call attention to a previous interpretation of history . '' The AHA noted that most monuments were erected `` without anything resembling a democratic process , '' and recommended that it was `` time to reconsider these decisions . '' According to the AHA , most Confederate monuments were erected during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century , and this undertaking was `` part and parcel of the initiation of legally mandated segregation and widespread disenfranchisement across the South . '' According to the AHA , memorials to the Confederacy erected during this period `` were intended , in part , to obscure the terrorism required to overthrow Reconstruction , and to intimidate African Americans politically and isolate them from the mainstream of public life . '' A later wave of monument building coincided with the civil rights movement , and according to the AHA `` these symbols of white supremacy are still being invoked for similar purposes . '' According to historian Adam Goodheart , the statues were meant to be symbols of white supremacy and the rallying around them by white supremacists will likely hasten their demise . Elijah Anderson , a professor of sociology at Yale University , said the statues `` really impacts the psyche of black people . '' Harold Holzer , the director of the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College , agreed that the statues were designed to belittle African Americans . Dell Upton , chair of the Department of Art History at the University of California , Los Angeles , wrote that `` the monuments were not intended as public art , '' but rather were installed `` as affirmations that the American polity was a white polity , '' and that because of their explicitly white supremacist intent , their removal from civic spaces was a matter `` of justice , equity , and civic values . '' In a 1993 book , author Frank McKenney argued otherwise ; `` These monuments were communal efforts , public art , and social history , '' he wrote . Ex-soldiers and politicians had difficult time raising funds to erect monuments so the task mostly fell to the women , the `` mothers widows , and orphans , the bereaved fiancees and sisters '' of the soldiers who had lost their lives . Many ladies memorial associations were formed in the decades following the end of the Civil War , most of them joining the United Daughters of the Confederacy following its inception in 1894 . The women were advised to `` remember that they were buying art , not metal and stone ; '' The history the monuments celebrated told only one side of the story , however -- one that was `` openly pro-Confederate , '' Upton argues . Furthermore , Confederate monuments were erected without the consent or even input of Southern African - Americans , who remembered the Civil War far differently , and who had no interest in honoring those who fought to keep them enslaved . According to Civil War historian Judith Giesberg , professor of history at Villanova University , `` White supremacy is really what these statues represent . '' Robert Seigler in his study of Confederate monuments in South Carolina found that out of the over one hundred and seventy that he documented , only five monuments were found dedicated to the African Americans who had been used by the Confederacy working `` on fortifications , and had served as musicians , teamsters , cooks , servants , and in other capacities , '' four of those were to slaves and one to a musician , Henry Brown . Eric Foner , a historian of the Civil War and biographer of Lincoln , argued that more statues of African - Americans like Nat Turner should be constructed . Alfred Brophy , a professor of law at the University of Alabama , argued the removal of the Confederate statues `` facilitates forgetting '' , although these statues were `` re-inscribed images of white supremacy '' . Brophy also stated that the Lee statue in Charlottesville should be removed . History of removals ( edit ) Planned removal of the Robert Edward Lee Sculpture in Charlottesville , Va. sparked protests and counter-protests , resulting in three deaths . The removals were marked by events in Louisiana and Virginia within the span of two years . In Louisiana , after the Charleston church shooting of 2015 , the city of New Orleans removed its Confederate memorials two years later . A few months later , in August 2017 , a state of emergency was declared in Virginia after a Unite the Right rally against the removal of the Robert Edward Lee statue in Charlottesville turned violent . Other events followed across the United States . In Baltimore , for example , the city 's Confederate statues were removed on the night of August 15 -- 16 , 2017 . Mayor Catherine Pugh said that she ordered the overnight removals to preserve public safety . Similarly , in Lexington , Kentucky , Mayor Jim Gray asked the city council on August 16 , 2017 to approve the relocation of two statues from a courthouse . A different event occurred in Durham , North Carolina , where several protesters toppled the Confederate Soldiers Monument outside the Old Durham County Courthouse on August 15 , 2017 . Eight activists were arrested in connection with the illegal action . Laws hindering removals ( edit ) In Alabama ( 2017 ) , Mississippi ( 2004 ) , North Carolina ( 2015 ) , South Carolina ( 2000 ) , Tennessee ( 2016 ) , and Virginia ( 1902 ) , state laws impede the removal or alteration of monuments . Attempts to repeal these laws have not yet ( 2017 ) been successful . Alabama 's law , the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act , was passed in May 2017 , North Carolina 's law in 2015 . Tennessee passed its Tennessee Heritage Protection Act in 2016 ; it requires a 2⁄3 majority of the Tennessee Historical Commission to rename , remove , or relocate any public statue , monument , or memorial . The removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina capitol required a 2 / 3 vote of both houses of the legislature . Public opinion ( edit ) A 2017 Reuters poll found that 54 % of American adults stated that the monuments should remain in all public spaces , and 27 % said they should be removed , while 19 % said they were unsure . The results were split along racial and political lines , with Republicans and whites preferring to keep the monuments in place , while Democrats and minorities preferring their removal . Another 2017 poll , by HuffPost / YouGov , found that 33 % of respondents favored removal while 48 % were opposed , with roughly 18 % unsure about removal . Removed monuments and memorials ( edit ) Alabama ( edit ) Birmingham In August 2017 , immediately after William A. Bell , the mayor of Birmingham , draped a Confederate memorial with plastic and surrounded it with plywood with the rationale `` This country should in no way tolerate the hate that the KKK ( Ku Klux Klan ) , neo-Nazis , fascists and other hate groups spew '' , Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall sued Bell and the city for violating a new ( 2017 ) state law that prohibits the `` relocation , removal , alteration , or other disturbance of any monument on public property that has been in place for 40 years or more '' . Demopolis Confederate Park . Renamed `` Confederate Park '' in 1923 at the request of the United Daughters of the Confederacy .

"The removals were marked by events in Louisiana and Virginia within the span of two years. In Louisiana, after the Charleston church shooting of 2015, the city of New Orleans removed its Confederate memorials two years later.[31] A few months later, in August 2017, a state of emergency was declared in Virginia after a Unite the Right rally against the removal of the Robert Edward Lee statue in Charlottesville turned violent.[32]"

He is a smart - aleck with a fast wit and a deadpan sense of humor . He convinces his parents to let his best friend Steven Hyde move in with them , making Hyde like a brother . His father , Red , is always hard on him . For seven seasons Eric is in a relationship with his longtime love and neighbor Donna Pinciotti . He decides to become a teacher after high school and he leaves the series at the end of the seventh season to teach in Africa . Although mentioned in every episode , he does not appear during the final season until the end of the series finale . Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart : The youngest member of the group , Jackie starts the series as the pretty , spoiled rich , selfish , often times annoying immature girl . She likes to give thoughtless and superficial advice , which occasionally turns out to be correct . As the series progresses she becomes more genuine , after her father , a crooked politician , goes to jail and her fortunes take a reversal . Partly as a result of these changes , Donna and she become better friends . By the end of the series , Jackie had dated three of the four males of the group : Kelso , Hyde and Fez . Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso ( seasons 1 -- 7 ; special guest season 8 ) : The dumb pretty boy of the group wants to coast through life on his good looks . Often referred to as `` The King '' in many episodes , he spends the first half of the series in a relationship with the equally vapid Jackie , but their relationship comes to an end when Laurie ( Eric 's older sister ) reveals their affairs to Jackie . He fathers a baby girl named Betsy from a librarian named Brooke during the seventh season . He becomes a police officer but gets kicked off the force because he does just about everything wrong . He gets a job as a security guard at a Playboy Club in Chicago and leaves the series during the eighth and final season . Kelso , along with Eric , returns for the series finale . Danny Masterson as Steven Hyde : Eric 's best friend and the anti-establishment member of the group . By the end of season one , the Formans allow Hyde to move in after he was abandoned by his mother , making him a foster brother to Eric . Hyde has a witty , blunt and sarcastic sense of humor and a rebellious personality . He is also smart and the other group members often ask for his advice . Although Hyde dates Jackie for three seasons , in the final season he marries an exotic dancer named Samantha . Hyde later discovers Samantha was married to another man when she married him . As Donna points out in `` My Fairy King '' , that means Hyde and Samantha are not legally married . In the seventh season , Hyde meets his biological father ( William Barnett , played by Tim Reid ) , a wealthy black businessman ( making Hyde , who was presumed white , biracial ) . Barnett , who owns a chain of record stores , makes Hyde first an office worker , then a manager and later the owner of the Point Place record store . He also previously worked for Leo in a Photo Hut earlier in the series . Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti : Eric 's longtime girlfriend ( and briefly fiancée ) . Donna is tall , intelligent , good - looking . Although she does not agree with what Jackie represents in the beginning of the series , they become friends . Donna is in a relationship with Eric for seven seasons ( despite their break - up during season 4 ) . She has brief romances with Casey , Michael 's brother and Randy during the final season and quickly ends it . She rekindles her relationship with Eric at the end of the show 's finale . Wilmer Valderrama as Fez : The horny foreign exchange student of the group whose hormones are usually out of control . His country of origin is never named . He enjoys eating candy , drinking beer and looking at pornography . He constantly flirts with Jackie and Donna and often makes romantic advances toward them . Initially , he has trouble getting attention from girls , but during the eighth season he becomes a ladies ' man . He is in love with Jackie throughout the series but his love is not reciprocated until the eighth season when they become a couple . Josh Meyers as Randy Pearson ( season 8 ) : Hyde 's employee at the record store . He is introduced in the final season . Randy appears laid back , gentle , polite and a ladies ' man , although many of his flaws surface later , encompassing parts of the departed Kelso and Eric 's personalities and other attributes . Tall ( like Kelso ) , he tends to spout witty one - liners ( like Eric ) , and makes silly voices . He forms a friendship with Red after showing Red how good he is at fixing things . While Hyde , Jackie , Donna and Kelso embrace him as a new member of their group , Fez initially does not , but soon warms up to him .

Adults ( edit ) Debra Jo Rupp as Kitty Forman : Red 's wife and mother of Eric and Laurie , and Hyde 's informally adoptive mother , Kitty is a cheerful , doting mother , but can also be assertive when pushed . A nurse by profession , she drinks heavily and is a former smoker . Her major mood swings are usually attributed to menopause , although the lack of affection and attention from her daughter ( Laurie ) and her mother ( Bea ) is also partly to blame . She is also a nurturing mother figure to Eric 's rather dysfunctional friends , especially Fez . Kurtwood Smith as Red Forman : Kitty 's husband , father of Eric and Laurie , and Hyde 's adoptive father . A conservative Navy combat veteran , he served in World War II and the Korean War .

Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( November 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The creators had wanted the show to have a 1970s `` feel '' from the beginning , so opted to set the series later in the decade , when trends and political ideologies had become firmly established and disseminated . The idea that the duration of the series would carry sociopolitical undertones also necessitated a chain of social events which could influence the characters . Thus , 1976 was chosen , which allowed episodes set within a short time frame to address streaking , the sexual revolution , the Equal Rights Amendment , the 1973 oil crisis , and the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford , all of which were culturally influential events that occurred in the earlier years of the 1970s . The shift to 1977 during the last half of the first season also allowed the inclusion of the first Star Wars movie , which premiered in May 1977 . Throughout the first two seasons , episodes opened with title cards showing the season / month and year ( example : Late Spring , 1977 or June 1977 ) . These , however , were largely abandoned after season 2 , with few subsequent episodes using them . However , they were used again in the final episode , showing `` December 31 , 1979 10 : 45 a.m. '' From the premiere onward , the episode 's year could be determined by the registration tags on Eric 's Vista Cruiser at the end of the opening and closing credits . The final episode 's closing credits showed an `` 80 '' year tag . The show was set in May 1976 in the August 23 , 1998 premiere . After 12 episodes , the series transitioned to 1977 . The 23rd episode , `` Grandma 's Dead '' , was also set in 1976 , because it was supposed to be the season finale of season 1 . The show remained in 1977 for the next two seasons . Near the end of the third season , the series transitioned to 1978 until early in the sixth season . The remaining episodes took place in 1979 , and the series finale abruptly ends during a New Year 's Eve party as the characters reach `` one '' during a countdown to January 1 , 1980 . The show 's unexpected longevity ( it was the only series to debut on Fox in 1998 to survive cancellation ) combined with the first season jump to 1977 necessitated a slow - down of the series ' timeline . Over time , this proved problematic from a narrative standpoint , as nearly every year featured a Thanksgiving and / or Christmas episode , and the teen - aged actors playing high - school student characters all aged into their mid-20s by the time their characters graduated from high school after five seasons ( except Mila Kunis , who was not quite 20 ) . As the series timeline sped up and slowed down with more rapidity near the series ' climax , the timeline necessitated that several major events depicted as having occurred months apart would have in fact happened within weeks or even days of one another . The timeline issues experienced on the show were not unprecedented , as other period - specific TV series have had similar issues . Most notably , M * A * S * H aired for 11 seasons despite the Korean War only lasting three years . Additionally , many TV series over the years that take place in the present time have characters age faster than normal while other characters age naturally . Eighth season and series finale ( edit ) The character of Eric Forman was written out of the series at the end of the seventh season , as Topher Grace wanted to move on with his career . Ashton Kutcher switched to a recurring guest role when he also chose to depart following the seventh season . However , Kelso had not been written out yet , so to give better closure to the character , Kutcher appeared in the first four episodes of the eighth season ( credited as a special guest star ) and later returned for the finale . Tommy Chong ( who began reappearing by late season 7 after a long absence ) became a regular again to help fill Kelso 's role as the dimwit of the group . Eric was originally supposed to be replaced by his new friend Charlie , played by Bret Harrison , as an `` innocent character '' , who proved fairly popular with audiences , but the character was killed off after Harrison was offered a lead role in the series The Loop . Another new character named Randy Pearson , played by Josh Meyers , was introduced to take the place of both Eric and , to a lesser extent , Charlie . Another new character , Samantha , a stripper played by Judy Tylor , was added as Hyde 's wife for nine episodes . The location of the show 's introductory theme song was changed from the Vista Cruiser to the circle . Both Eric and Kelso returned for the series ' final episode , although Topher Grace was uncredited . The eighth season was announced as the final season of the show on January 17 , 2006 , and `` That ' 70s Finale '' was filmed a month later on February 17 , 2006 , first airing on May 18 , 2006 . Production ( edit ) Title ( edit ) The working titles for the show were Teenage Wasteland ( named after the lyric from The Who 's `` Baba O'Riley '' ) , The Kids Are Alright ( named after The Who 's song of the same name ) , Feelin ' All Right , and Reeling in the Years ( named after Steely Dan 's song of the same name ) . However , due to the denials of these three songs from the 1970s ( including Pete Townshend 's denial of using his two songs for each of the two titles ) , and Fox Network 's decision that Feelin ' All Right was not too memorable , co-creator Bonnie Turner suggested that the show should be titled That ' 70s Show , which became the official title . Opening ( edit ) Theme song ( edit ) The show usually opens with the theme song , `` In the Street '' , written by Alex Chilton and Chris Bell of the band Big Star . The original version of the song appeared on Big Star 's 1972 debut album # 1 Record . In 2000 , Chilton confirmed that he was paid $70 in royalties each time the show aired , an amount he thought ironic , given the show 's title . Big Star 's original version of the song was not used on the show . Instead , a cover version sung by Todd Griffin was used as the theme song for the show 's first season . Beginning in the second season , the theme song was performed by the band Cheap Trick . Unlike previous versions of the song , Cheap Trick ended the song with the repeated phrase `` We 're all alright ! '' quoting the ending of their 1978 hit song `` Surrender '' . Both versions of the song ( Todd Griffin and Cheap Trick ) used on the show end with somebody yelling `` Hello , Wisconsin ! '' In Griffin 's version , Masterson is the one yelling `` Hello , Wisconsin ! '' while it is unknown who yells it in Cheap Trick 's version during the opening . On the soundtrack , That ' 70s Album ( Rockin ' ) , Cheap Trick 's lead singer Robin Zander yells `` Hello , Wisconsin ! '' Alternate holiday versions of the theme song were arranged for Halloween and Christmas specials , using organ music and bells , respectively . Opening credits ( edit ) Opening credits for seasons 1 -- 7 showed members of the cast driving in Eric 's car singing the theme song together . At the conclusion of the opening , a shot of a 1970s - style Wisconsin license plate ( black letters / numbers on a yellow background ) is seen , showing the year in which the episode was taking place in the bottom right corner . During the first season 's opening , a single shot of the group is used ; beginning with season 2 , numerous alternating shots were used of the cast in various groupings ( including the adult cast members , who had not appeared in the first season 's opening ) . After Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher left the series , the opening credits were reworked for season 8 to feature close - up shots of each of the actors singing ( or mouthing ) a line of the theme song in the Circle ( for example , Mila Kunis `` Hanging Out ... ; '' Danny Masterson `` Down the Street '' ) . The only actors to not say or do anything in the new opening credits were Kurtwood Smith and Tommy Chong , with the exception of the first episode of season 8 , when Chong sings the last `` We 're all alright '' . Smith looks at the camera frowning and rolls his eyes . Chong looks around the room , confused as he hears `` Hello , Wisconsin ! '' The final episode omits most of the opening sequence and instead only shows the license plate shot . Elements of the show ( edit ) The 1970s ( edit ) This section possibly contains original research . Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( November 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The show addressed social issues of the 1970s such as sexism , sexual attitudes , generational conflict , the economic hardships of the 1970s recession , mistrust of the American government by blue - collar workers , and underage drinking , including teenage drug use . The series also highlighted developments in the entertainment industry , including the television remote ( `` the clicker '' ) , reruns , VCR , and cable TV ; the video games Pong and Space Invaders ; the cassette tape and Disco ; MAD magazine ; and Eric 's obsession with Star Wars . The show has been compared to Happy Days , which was similarly set 20 years before the time in which it aired . Beginning with the second season , the show focused less on the sociopolitical aspects of the story . For example , the dynamic of the relationship between Eric and Donna was altered in later seasons to more closely resemble the relationships of other `` power couples '' on teen dramas . Likewise , the first season of the show featured a recurring , more dramatic storyline in which the Formans were in danger of losing their home due to Red 's hours being cut back at the auto parts plant where he worked . Storylines in later seasons were generally presented more comically and less dramatically . The show also featured guest - starring actors from 1970s TV shows , such as Mary Tyler Moore , Valerie Harper and Betty White ( The Mary Tyler Moore Show ) , Tom Poston and Jack Riley ( The Bob Newhart Show ) , Pamela Sue Martin ( The Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew Mysteries ) , Tim Reid and Howard Hesseman ( WKRP in Cincinnati ) , Eve Plumb , Barry Williams and Christopher Knight ( The Brady Bunch ) , Tom Bosley and Marion Ross ( Happy Days ) , Monty Hall ( Let 's Make A Deal ) , Gavin MacLeod ( The Love Boat and The Mary Tyler Moore Show ) , Don Knotts , Richard Kline and Jenilee Harrison ( Three 's Company ) , and Danny Bonaduce and Shirley Jones ( The Partridge Family ) . Series recurring cast member Tanya Roberts also starred in a popular show in the 1970s ( Charlie 's Angels ) . Beginning with season 5 , each episode in the series is named after a song by a rock band that was famous in the 1970s : Led Zeppelin ( season 5 ) , The Who ( Season 6 ) , The Rolling Stones ( season 7 ) , and Queen ( season 8 , except for the finale , titled `` That ' 70s Finale '' ) . Split screens ( edit ) One device in the show is to present a split screen in which two pairs of characters speak . One character is usually seeking advice on a problem with a character in the second pairing and the other character advises them . Although the conversations appear to mirror each other , notable differences often occur . It is most often used by the couples of the show , with each member of the couple being advised on the relationship . For example , in the episode `` Who Wants It More ? '' , Donna and Eric tell Jackie and Hyde that they have been holding out on each other sexually for three days and that maybe they should cave . Both Jackie and Hyde tell Donna and Eric not to cave or the `` caver '' will be owned by the other . Dream sequences ( edit ) The show includes character daydream sequences , some of which refer to or parody fads and films of the time , such as Star Wars , Rocky , and Grease . The character picturing the dream sometimes also narrates it , but regardless , the other characters present see the same dream . In the episode `` Stone Cold Crazy '' , Jackie mentioned she liked the song playing in Fez 's dream sequence . The sequences are usually introduced by a wobbling screen transition . Sometimes , the transition is absent when the characters who imagine the scene believe they are real ( for example , Eric 's dream about Donna in `` Eric 's Birthday '' or Jackie 's dream about Hyde proposing in `` It 's All Over Now '' ) . In the 100th episode , `` That ' 70s Musical '' , all singing scenes were Fez 's dream sequences . The circle ( edit ) The circle illustrated the teens ' marijuana use , usually in Eric 's basement . The picture is of the final scene of the series . In the circle , a group of characters , usually the teenagers , sit in a circle ( generally in Eric 's basement , though occasionally elsewhere ) , as the camera pans , stopping at each character as he or she speaks . It was usually apparent that the characters are under the influence of marijuana . Thick clouds of smoke , frequent coughing and an extreme wide - angle lens added to the `` drug - induced '' feel , although the audience never saw anyone actually smoking the drug . Also , no visible drug - related paraphernalia were seen , such as bongs or joint papers . Characters never spoke the word `` marijuana '' while in the circle ( except in one episode `` Reefer Madness '' ) , often referring to it as `` stuff '' or a `` stash '' . In the episode `` Bye - Bye Basement '' , Theo ( Leo 's cousin ) refers to `` weed '' ; in `` The Relapse '' , Kelso tells Fez that the concrete wall behind the gym is used mostly for `` smoking weed and beating up freshmen ; '' in `` Ski Trip '' Kitty asks Eric why he is taking so much oregano to Jackie 's ski lodge ; in `` Eric 's Burger Job '' , Kelso blames his `` roach clip '' when the water bed pops on which he is sitting at a party ; in two episodes ( `` That Wrestling Show '' and `` Hyde Moves In '' ) Eric and Hyde can be seen wearing shirts with the words `` Cannabis Sativa '' written on a Campbell 's soup can ; and in `` The Pill '' Red , referring to Kelso , exclaims , `` That kid 's on dope ! '' A gimmick related to the circle and the marijuana smoking was Eric watching the kitchen wall moving erratically , although this technique was also used to show that Eric was drunk . As the series progressed , the circle became one of the series ' recurring features . The only four episodes where the whole gang is in the circle are `` Class Picture '' , `` I 'm A Boy '' , `` Substitute '' , and in the series finale . During the eighth and final season , the circle sans smoke replaced the Vista Cruiser as the setting of the opening credits . The stupid helmet ( edit ) The stupid helmet refers to a replica of a Green Bay Packers helmet that a character is forced to wear after having done or said something deemed stupid by the rest of the gang . Eric had to wear it when he said he wanted to propose to Donna and Fez wore it when he started banging his head on the table after trying to help Kelso keep Jackie . The helmet can be seen in the Forman basement on a shelf behind the cast . When the series concluded in 2006 , the last one up the staircase had to call Red a `` dumbass '' , something he always called the kids . Since Kelso was the last one up , he grabbed the helmet . The water tower ( edit ) In many episodes , the teenaged characters often hang out on a local water tower . At the end of several water tower segments , at least one character falls off ( usually Kelso ) . When Charlie Richardson ( played by Bret Harrison ) fell off and died in season 8 , the water tower was renamed in his honor . After Charlie 's death , Kelso fell off again , but survived , leading him to believe he was `` invincible '' . In the `` Water Tower episode '' , the gang painted a marijuana leaf on the tower , but it looked more like a green hand giving the finger . In the episode `` The Immigrant Song ( a.k.a. Fez Gets Busted ) '' Kelso paints Jackie and his names on the tower to annoy Hyde just before falling and ending up in the hospital . During this episode , Fez paints his manhood on the tower but only gets as far as drawing a circle when the police arrive to arrest him . Kelso was known to fall off the water tower once in every grade since middle school . Jackie and Fez share their first official kiss on the tower in the show 's finale . Scene transitions ( edit ) In the first season , scene transitions ( also known as bumpers ) consisted of animated smiley buttons or still images of faces from the 1970s with only the mouth moving using Syncro - Vox , usually yelling , in a rock form , `` Yeahhh ! '' or something similar ( ex . Farrah Fawcett saying `` Yeah ! '' or Richard Nixon saying `` Are you ready to rock and roll ? '' ) The smiley buttons were removed for re-runs and home video , replaced with flowers likewise exploding , replicating , deflating or bouncing around . Sometimes they would be visuals of lava lamps with the show 's logo plummeting to the bottom of the screen in front of it . Beginning in season 2 , transitions featured the characters doing something in front of a colorful , psychedelic , lava lamp - like background . These transitions featured the most prominent characters of the episode usually dancing , falling or making facial expressions . The music accompanying these colorful sequences would match the tone of the episode and characters . By the show 's final season , new transitions were created to accommodate cast changes ( e.g. Donna 's hair color , Leo continuing as a series regular and the insertion of Randy ) . `` Nobody 's Fault But Mine ( 2 ) '' is the only episode where Laurie Forman is featured in a transition . Tanya Roberts is the only regular actor not to be featured in a transition . The Vista Cruiser ( edit ) Many of the show 's episodes featured Eric and the rest of the kids in or around Eric 's `` Aztec Gold '' 1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser , handed down to Eric by Red . For the first seven seasons of the show , the show 's introduction showed the cast inside the Vista Cruiser . The show 's pronunciation of `` Vista Cruiser '' , with emphasis on `` Cruiser '' conflicted with the pronunciation of author George Plimpton in the Oldsmobile television advertisement for the 1969 Vista Cruiser , where he pronounced the two words with the emphasis on `` Vista '' . That particular station wagon was bought by Wilmer Valderrama at the show 's conclusion from Carsey - Werner for US $ 500 . In August 2009 , the show 's Vista Cruiser was named third - greatest television car ever by MSN Autos . Running gags and catchphrases ( edit ) This section possibly contains original research . Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( August 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In one of the show 's major running gags , Red often threatens to punish Eric with many variations of catchphrase , `` kicking your ass '' . For example , in `` Kitty and Eric 's Night Out '' , Red mistakenly thinks Eric offended Kitty , so Red says , `` I swear I 'll kick his ass ! '' In `` Eric 's Hot Cousin '' , Eric tries to get out of something by claiming he 's sleepwalking and Red says , `` And I 'm about to be sleep - kicking your ass '' , and , in `` Prank Day '' , when Red gets covered in oatmeal , Eric tries to explain that it was just a prank that had gone `` horribly , horribly wrong '' Red says , `` Well , I have a prank , too . One where my foot does n't plow through your ass . Let 's hope it does n't go horribly , horribly wrong ! '' Several of the running gags were shown in edited clips for the series finale . Some other notable running gags and catchphrases are : Red 's favorite insult is `` dumbass '' , the origin of which is revealed in `` Halloween '' . Ironically , Eric is the first character to say `` dumbass '' in `` Eric 's Burger Job '' ( season 1 episode 5 ) . The insult is adopted by the whole gang and even occasionally by Kitty . Red regularly comes up with new choice insults such as `` kettlehead '' ( which refers to Kelso ) . Fez 's country of origin is never revealed . Sometimes , Fez is about to disclose where he is from , or at least hint at it , but something happens to prevent him from doing so , like someone entering the room as seen in `` Stolen Car '' , or Fez rambling in `` Love of My Life '' . Fez 's real name was also never revealed . Even Fez stood for FES , Foreign Exchange Student . Red often calls Fez by some exotic foreign name when he is speaking directly to him . Someone , usually Kelso , falls off the Water Tower . The word `` burn '' , a term used by a character after something bad or offensive happens at another character 's expense , although it is more often used by Kelso . According to Kelso in `` Dine and Dash '' , a good burn consists of two elements : `` You did n't see it coming ; parts of it really hurt . '' Hyde would usually give Kelso a punch in the arm for either his stupidity or bad behavior . Kelso yells `` Ow , my eye ! '' when Hyde rough - houses with him . For example , in the episode `` Class Picture '' , a series of flashbacks feature Hyde beating up Kelso . While the two are out of the immediate sight of the audience , Kelso yells , `` Ow , my eye ! '' and the scene cuts to the next flashback . This gag is repeated several times throughout the series , although the only time Kelso appears with an injured eye is in `` Jackie 's Cheese Squeeze '' after he was punched by Todd , Jackie 's manager . On that occasion , Kelso did not yell , `` Ow , my eye ! '' Fez uses the phrase `` Good day '' , followed by another cast member saying , `` But Fez ... '' and Fez immediately interrupts with an exclamatory , `` I said good day ! '' In some instances , the words vary , but the interaction is the same . Eric has a never - ending streak of quoting Star Wars . In several episodes , he relates things to Star Wars , or quotes the film . In times of trouble , he brings a toy light saber and his going - away present from Donna was her dressing up as Princess Leia . Everyone who calls Eric 's action figures `` dolls '' is always loudly corrected by Eric : `` They 're action figures ! '' Kitty often uses alcohol or her use is mentioned , particularly after she starts menopause during the fifth season . Fez 's sex life or usually lack thereof . Often Fez accidentally reveals some perverse behavior he performed , like hiding in Donna 's room . The best thing to do or the best solution can be found by `` The Circle '' . Eric 's attempted `` secret '' money stash locations are known by everyone . Guest stars from 1970s sitcoms would often have an inside joke referring to their earlier series . Kitty will often laugh in situations she finds awkward . British remake ( edit ) In 1999 , the show was remade by the ITV network in the United Kingdom as Days Like These using almost verbatim scripts with minor changes to cultural references .

-6137994384854164232 | Horizon Zero Dawn | Horizon Zero Dawn - wikipedia Horizon Zero Dawn Jump to : navigation , search Horizon Zero Dawn Developer ( s ) Guerrilla Games Publisher ( s ) Sony Interactive Entertainment Director ( s ) Mathijs de Jonge Producer ( s ) Lambert Wolterbeek Muller Samrat Sharma Programmer ( s ) Michiel van der Leeuw Artist ( s ) Jan - Bart van Beek Writer ( s ) John Gonzalez Composer ( s ) Joris de Man The Flight Niels van der Leest Engine Decima Platform ( s ) PlayStation 4 Release NA : 28 February 2017 EU : 1 March 2017 Genre ( s ) Action role - playing Mode ( s ) Single - player Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role - playing video game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 4 and released in early 2017 . The plot revolves around Aloy , a hunter and archer living in a world overrun by robots . Having been an outcast her whole life , she sets out to discover the dangers that kept her sheltered . The character uses ranged weapons and a spear and stealth tactics to combat the mechanised creatures , whose remains can be looted for resources . A skill tree provides the player with new abilities and passive bonuses . The game features an open world environment for Aloy to explore , divided into tribes that hold side quests to undertake , while the main story guides her across the entire map . Development began in 2011 after the studio completed the development of Killzone 3 , with game director Mathijs de Jonge considering it `` the most risky '' idea of those that were pitched at the time . The concept explores the contrast between the beauty and danger of the game 's setting . Guerrilla Games emphasises trial and error as the basis for playing the game . The game engine , Decima , was previously engineered for Killzone Shadow Fall and altered for Horizon Zero Dawn . The game is the first new intellectual property ( IP ) developed by Guerrilla Games since Killzone in 2004 , and also the studio 's first attempt at developing a role - playing video game . The music was composed by Joris de Man , The Flight , and Niels van der Leest . Horizon Zero Dawn won the award for Best Original Game at the Game Critics Awards in 2015 and 2016 . At release , it was well received by critics , who praised the open world , story , visuals , combat , the character of Aloy and the performance provided by her voice actress Ashly Burch , whilst giving criticism to the dialogue , melee combat and character models . It was the best - selling launch of an original IP on the PlayStation 4 console and , as of June 2017 , had sold 3.4 million copies , making it the second best - selling PlayStation 4 video game . An expansion , The Frozen Wilds , will be released in late 2017 .

Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role - playing game played from a third - person perspective . Players take control of Aloy , a hunter and archer , as she ventures through a post-apocalyptic land ruled by robotic creatures known simply as `` machines '' . Aloy can kill enemies in a variety of ways , such as setting traps like tripwires using the Tripcaster , shooting them with arrows , using explosives , and a spear . Machine components , including electricity and the metal they are composed of , are vital to Aloy 's survival , and she can loot their corpses to find useful resources for crafting . Ammo ; resource satchels , pouches , and quivers ; resistance , antidote , and health potions ; and traps are all amenable to crafting . Weapons have modification slots for dealing more damage . A small head piece that Aloy wears called a Focus allows her to scan machines to determine their susceptibilities , identify their location , the particular level they possess , and the nature of loot they will drop . One machine , the Stalker , can enable cloaking technology as a means of averting the gaze of Aloy 's Focus scan . Machines attack by way of defensive and offensive measures , and will in either case react to a perceived threat by charging at it with brute force or projectiles . As they exhibit the behaviour of wild animals , some machines are inclined to move in herds and others , possessing the ability of flight , do so in flocks . Unless hacked with the Override Tool , machines will not exert aggressive force against each other . Aloy also engages in battle with members of the cult known as the Eclipse , who are occasionally flanked by corrupted machines . Aloy may dodge , sprint , slide , or roll to evade her enemies ' advances . Aloy can also hide in foliage and ambush nearby enemies to ensure immediate takedowns . Swimming can be used to reach enemies stealthily or places otherwise unreachable on foot . Furthermore , she is able to hack a selection of machines with the Override Tool , turning them into makeshift mounts or travelling companions . Explorable ruins called Cauldrons exist to unlock additional machines to override . There are three categories in the skill tree -- `` Prowler '' concerns stealth ; `` Brave '' improves combat ; and `` Forager '' increases healing and gathering capabilities . To level up , Aloy attains experience points from individual kills and completing quests . Upgrades in each category result in more adept use of the skills learned , with `` Prowler '' leading to silent takedowns , `` Brave '' to aiming a bow in slow motion , and `` Forager '' to enlarging the medicine pouch . The game features an open world environment with a day - night cycle and dynamic weather system which can be seamlessly explored . The map is composed of forest , jungle , desert , and snowy mountain regions . Mountainous terrain is traversed with the employment of parkour , which is aided by the use of zip - lines installed throughout the world . Corruption Zones constitute areas that heighten difficulty and are populated by corrupted machines that behave with more aggression . To uncover more of the map , one must scale large giraffe - like machines known as Tallnecks . Twenty - five robotic creature designs are present in the game . Save points and fast travel can be accessed by interacting with campfires , once discovered . The quest structure unfolds to accommodate the exploration of tribes , while the main story covers the entire world . Side quests involve Aloy completing tasks , like gathering materials , coming to the aid of individuals in danger of being killed , solving mysteries , assuming control of bandit camps , eliminating criminals and more difficult machines , accomplishing various challenges at any of the five Hunting Grounds , and obtaining an ancient armour that makes Aloy almost impervious to damage . A dialogue wheel is used to communicate with non-playable characters . Collectibles include vantages that offer visual information of the Old World ; metal flowers , which when acquired contain poetry ; and old relics , such as ancient mugs and tribal artefacts . Plot ( edit ) Setting ( edit ) The story is set approximately one thousand years in the future , in a world where humans have regressed to primitive tribal societies as a result of some unknown calamity . Their technologically advanced predecessors are vaguely remembered as the `` Old Ones . '' Large robotic creatures known merely as `` machines '' now dominate the Earth . For the most part , they peacefully coexist with humans , who occasionally hunt them for parts . However , a phenomenon known as the `` Derangement '' has caused machines to become more aggressive towards humans , and larger and deadlier machines have begun to appear . There are three tribes that are prominently featured : the Nora , the Carja , and the Oseram . The Nora are fierce hunter - gatherers who live in the mountains and worship nature as the `` All - Mother . '' The Carja are desert - dwelling city builders who worship the Sun . The Oseram are tinkerers known for their metalworking , brewing , and arguing . Synopsis ( edit ) Aloy was cast out from the Nora tribe at birth , raised by an outcast named Rost . As a child , she obtained a Focus , a small augmented reality device that gives her special perceptive abilities . After coming of age , Aloy ( Ashly Burch ) enters a competition called the Proving to win the right to become a Nora Brave , and by extension , a member of the Nora tribe . Aloy wins the competition , but the Nora are suddenly attacked by cultists . Aloy is almost killed by their leader Helis ( Crispin Freeman ) , but is saved by Rost , who sacrifices himself to save Aloy from a bomb . When Aloy awakes , a Matriarch explains that the cultists had gained control of corrupted machines . Aloy also learns that as an infant , she was found at the foot of a sealed door that the Nora worship , and was believed by some to be cursed , hence being cast out . An Oseram foreigner called Olin ( Chook Sibtain ) informs Aloy that the cultists are part of a fanatical religious group calling themselves the Eclipse . They worship a demon called HADES ( John Gonzalez ) , who allows them to corrupt machines . Olin indicates that the reason Aloy was targeted by the Eclipse was due to her resemblance to an Old World scientist named Dr. Elisabet Sobeck ( also voiced by Burch ) . Aloy locates the remnants of the company Faro Automated Solutions and discovers that the world was put into peril nearly one thousand years ago after Faro lost control of its automated `` peacekeeper '' military robots . However , the world was narrowly saved thanks to Project Zero Dawn , a top secret project spearheaded by Dr. Sobeck . Aloy is then contacted by Sylens ( Lance Reddick ) , a secretive figure interested in uncovering what happened to the `` Old Ones '' . Aloy eventually learns that Dr. Sobeck was sent to an Orbital Launch Base to complete Zero Dawn and Sylens reveals that the base is located under the Citadel , the centre of Eclipse power . Aloy heads for the base and inside , she learns that Zero Dawn was a vast underground system of databases , factories , and cloning facilities all controlled by a single artificial intelligence named GAIA ( Lesley Ewen ) . Once all life had been extinguished , GAIA developed a countermeasure to deactivate all of the Faro robots and then build its own robots to restore the Earth 's biosphere . Once the planet was habitable again , GAIA reseeded life on Earth based on stored DNA and taught the first human clones not to repeat their predecessors ' past mistakes . It is also revealed that HADES was one of GAIA 's subsystems designed to enact controlled extinction if the outcome of Zero Dawn was not favourable for human existence . Aloy reaches Dr. Sobeck 's office , where she downloads a registry to give her access to the door from which she was born . She is captured by Helis and sentenced to death at the Citadel , but escapes with the help of Sylens . Aloy helps the Nora tribe fight off the Eclipse and then enters the door beneath the Nora mountain . She finds a recording left behind by GAIA , revealing that a signal of unknown origin caused HADES to activate and seize control of her functions . As a last resort , GAIA self - destructed in order to stop HADES . Without GAIA to maintain the terraforming process , the entire system began to break down . As a contingency plan , GAIA created a clone of Dr. Sobeck in the form of Aloy , in the hope that she would find GAIA 's message , destroy HADES , and restore GAIA 's functions . Aloy learns that Dr. Sobeck sacrificed her life to ensure the Faro robot swarm would not find GAIA . Aloy manages to obtain the System Override necessary to destroy HADES . Sylens admits that he was the original founder of the Eclipse , originally tempted by HADES ' promises of knowledge . With Sylens 's help , Aloy surmises that HADES wants to send a signal to reactivate the Faro robots so that they can once again extinguish all life on Earth . Aloy kills Helis and helps fight off waves of corrupted machines , before stabbing HADES with Sylens ' lance , ending the war . Aloy then journeys to Dr. Sobeck 's old home , where she finds her corpse , and has a moment of mourning for her predecessor . In a post-credits scene , HADES is shown to still be alive , but trapped by Sylens , who intends to interrogate HADES to find out who sent the signal that activated it in the first place . Development ( edit ) Guerrilla Games began developing Horizon Zero Dawn in 2011 , following the release of Killzone 3 . When conceiving the idea for a new game , about 40 concepts were pitched . Among these was Horizon Zero Dawn , which game director Mathijs de Jonge considered `` the most risky '' of the concepts and was first pitched in 2010 by art director Jan - Bart van Beek . When this concept was chosen , a team of 10 -- 20 began building prototypes of the game ; many of the elements featured in the prototypes remained in the game throughout development . Approximately 20 different stories were written for the game , exploring varying concepts for the game , such as different player characters . John Gonzalez , who previously acted as lead writer for Fallout : New Vegas ( 2010 ) , was hired to write the game 's story . The main elements of the story and the character of Aloy remained intact since early development . Upon the completion of Killzone Shadow Fall in late 2013 , the remainder of the staff began working on Horizon Zero Dawn . Guerrilla also cancelled work on another title so as to allow the entire team to focus on the development of Horizon . Sony would later admit to being reluctant about having the main character be female and conducted focus testing to see if such a decision was marketable . The game 's concept explores the juxtaposition between the danger and beauty of the world , particularly analysing the concept of humanity not being the dominant species . The team aimed to emphasise the game 's exploration element by featuring a quest system , as well as including items throughout the world that can be used to craft or replenish health . The game does not feature any tutorials , instead requiring players to learn the methods of defeating enemies through trial and error . The team wished for the game to have a simple user interface design , specifically avoiding complicated menus for crafting , and considered the game to be a technical challenge . They felt that the game engine , Decima , which was designed for games such as the Killzone series and was previously used for Killzone Shadow Fall , was difficult to alter for Horizon , in terms of draw distance and loading . To discover how some game elements work differently in open world games , the team sought help from talent in the design , art and technical fields . In extrapolating the game world , Guerrilla turned to anthropologists and researched the formation of tribal cultures as well as how building materials would decay over a millennium . The game 's quest system and narrative design took inspiration from other role - playing video games , ranging from the `` Relaxed '' quest design of RPG Maker games to the `` Strict '' quest design of hack and slash games . They defined `` Relaxed '' quest design as having few centralised systems for managing quest progression , and `` Strict '' quest design as having a rigid structure and predefined elements , with the team deciding for Horizon to lean somewhat more towards the latter . Joris de Man served as one of the composers of the game . The involvement of Lance Reddick and Ashly Burch was revealed in January 2017 . Burch voiced Aloy , whose likeness was portrayed by Hannah Hoekstra and motion capture was performed by Amanda Piery in London . Following an auditioning process in 2014 , Burch was called in to do the E3 2015 trailer and worked on the game for two years , providing facial motion capture as well . Her work was done in Los Angeles , with the Dutch developer brought in via Skype . The game 's soundtrack was composed by Joris de Man , The Flight , and Niels van der Leest , with vocalist Julie Elven serving as the primary performer . Lucas van Tol , music supervisor and senior sound designer , provided the composers with a game design document , insisting on an intimate sound for the score . For the tribal theme , they experimented with bows on piano wire and resonator guitars ( with layered tracks of harmonicas on top of the latter ) and playing cellos with plectrums or the back of a bow to convey how contemporary instruments would be played by someone to whom the instruments were unknown ; de Man also used a contrabass flute and made synth pads from blowing on a Thai bamboo flute , noting `` distant pads and ambiences , and wide , spread out chords seemed to work well '' . Circuit - bent synthesizers and percussive loops , run through impulse responses of metal and iron being beaten , were devoted to making a thematic identifier for the machines based on technology and metal . Van Tol required that the music be supplied in stems so that different pieces could be combined . The positive response to the first E3 trailer 's main theme led it to be included in the main menu . The composers also did the motion capture for diegetic music vignettes , portraying in - game tribal musicians . The game 's soundtrack , featuring 80 tracks that span over four hours , was released digitally via Spotify in March 2017 . Release ( edit ) The concept art as well as the game 's codename , Horizon , were leaked in September 2014 . Horizon Zero Dawn was officially announced during Sony Interactive Entertainment 's E3 2015 press conference . The game was featured as the cover story in the September 2015 issue of Edge and the October 2016 issue of Game Informer . At E3 2016 , Sony had a life - sized cosplay version of one of the machines greet the trade show attendees . Originally set to be released in 2016 , the game was later delayed to February 2017 so as to give additional time for the development team to polish the game . It was released to manufacturing in late January 2017 . The game launched to North American markets on 28 February 2017 , in Europe on 1 March and Asia on 2 March for the PlayStation 4 . Horizon Zero Dawn is forward compatible with the PS4 Pro , allowing it to run up to 4K resolution . In April 2017 , a 47 - minute documentary about the making of Horizon Zero Dawn was released by Dutch public television . By March 2017 , a story expansion had already been set in motion . New Game Plus , an Ultra Hard difficulty mode , additional trophies and aesthetic features were introduced with a patch released in July 2017 . The expansion , The Frozen Wilds , will launch on 7 November 2017 . Reception ( edit ) Reception Aggregate score Aggregator Score Metacritic 89 / 100 Review scores Publication Score Destructoid 7.5 / 10 EGM 9 / 10 Game Informer 8.75 / 10 GameSpot 9 / 10 GamesRadar Giant Bomb IGN 9.3 / 10 Polygon 9.5 / 10 VideoGamer.com 8 / 10 Horizon Zero Dawn received `` generally favorable reviews '' according to review aggregator , Metacritic . The open world exploration , the story 's depth , the visual aesthetics , the challenging combat , the character development of Aloy and voice actress Ashly Burch 's performance were acclaimed by reviewers , while contradicting dialogue , aspects of the melee combat and character models faced the most reproval . Game director Yoko Taro listed Horizon Zero Dawn as one of his favourite PlayStation 4 games . Destructoid 's Chris Carter commended Ashly Burch and Lance Reddick for their performances , with the character of Aloy receiving credit for maintaining a `` captivating '' and `` interesting '' consistency in the narrative and action sequences . Carter also lauded the focus on exploration and discovery , which he said grew more effective as he traversed more of the land . The game world itself was subject to compliment for its `` beautiful '' day - night cycle and weather system . According to Carter , the challenging nature of the machines and varied methods with which to battle them brought a real sense of fun to the combat . Matt Buchholtz of Electronic Gaming Monthly likewise praised Burch as well as the game world , which he found to be mesmerising . Thought as the most powerful part of the game , the Focus feature gained approval for complementing the combat in a way that `` forces you to become a hunter '' . Writing for Game Informer , Jeff Marchiafava opined that , unlike with other open world video games , searching for audio logs and emails provided the plot with a `` remarkable sense of discovery '' . He was thankful that story - based missions dominated the overall experience , arguing that they worked to detail the game world and inspired variation in the gameplay . Peter Brown at GameSpot reflected on Aloy 's character development with amazement , adding that the process matured Aloy and grew her confidence . One constant thrill to Brown came from combatting the machines , which he said took the spotlight and never lost its flair . He appreciated also that the main quests encouraged one to explore the environment . Zoe Delahunty - Light , writing for GamesRadar , was fascinated with the intricacies of the game world and found integral value in the lore scattered among the ruins . She echoed Brown 's view that fighting machines maintained excitement throughout . Giant Bomb 's Jeff Gerstmann declared Horizon Zero Dawn as `` a near - perfect story '' with a satisfying conclusion , and emphasised that it contained substantial depth . Lucy O'Brien at IGN admired its weight in meaning , while welcoming the charm of the protagonist 's personality . A considerable impression was made with the combat , which was stated as the game 's most compelling accomplishment . Writing for Polygon , Philip Kollar applauded the game as what he dubbed the `` refutation '' of Guerrilla Games ' past work , a change of pace he described as `` refreshing '' . Aloy was observed to be perfectly coupled with the story in that she offered the curiosity to seek out its many mysteries . Kollar perceived the Focus as `` key to combat '' and the machines as engaging foes in battle . Colm Ahern of VideoGamer.com wrote in his verdict , `` Destroying large robot beasts while frantically switching between weapons is intoxicating , but the strength of Horizon Zero Dawn is in Aloy 's engaging quest to find out who she really is '' . Conversely , Carter saw the characters beyond Aloy and Sylens as uninteresting and bland in their designs . He also disparaged the human artificial intelligence as being worse than that of the machines . To Buchholtz , the weapon system in relation to ammunition appeared convoluted ; the ability to only purchase one item at a time `` a massive oversight '' ; and Aloy 's ability to only grab marked ledges was confusing for a `` parkour master '' . Marchiafava 's only major criticism was that it held too familiar roots with established open world formula . Although Brown drew enjoyment from other aspects of combat , he disparaged the melee for its ineffectiveness and simplicity . Delahunty - Light concurred that the melee fell short of its potential , and also took issue with the jumping mechanic . O'Brien felt the dialogue occasionally contradicted the otherwise intelligent narrative . Kollar bemoaned the character models as Horizon Zero Dawn 's one visual shortcoming . Sales ( edit ) Horizon Zero Dawn was the best - selling game during its release week in the UK . It surpassed No Man 's Sky as the biggest launch of a new intellectual property on the PlayStation 4 and is the most successful launch of any kind on the PlayStation 4 since Uncharted 4 : A Thief 's End , as well as Guerrilla Games ' biggest debut to date . The game sold close to 117,000 copies in its first week in Japan , becoming the second best - selling game that week . Horizon Zero Dawn was the second most downloaded game on the PlayStation 4 US store for the month of February . Because its launch day occurred on the last day of February , only one day of sales was counted . It was the best - selling game in its week of release in Australia . For the month of March , it was the second best - selling game in the United Kingdom and the highest selling PlayStation 4 game . Horizon Zero Dawn was also the best - selling game on PlayStation Store that month . As of 13 March 2017 , the game had sold over 2.6 million copies worldwide . It was ranked number one in the UK sales chart of 22 April 2017 , and took eighth place in the Japanese chart of 16 April . 3.4 million copies had been sold by the month of June 2017 -- of which , 915,000 were digital . The week ending 17 June saw the game return to the number one spot on the UK sales chart .

"Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing video game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 4 and released in early 2017. The plot revolves around Aloy, a hunter and archer living in a world overrun by robots. Having been an outcast her whole life, she sets out to discover the dangers that kept her sheltered. The character uses ranged weapons and a spear and stealth tactics to combat the mechanised creatures, whose remains can be looted for resources. A skill tree provides the player with new abilities and passive bonuses. The game features an open world environment for Aloy to explore, divided into tribes that hold side quests to undertake, while the main story guides her across the entire map."

She receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley , a small coal - mining town in Western Canada which is located just south of Robb , Alberta . There , life is simple -- but often fraught with challenges . Elizabeth charms most everyone in Coal Valley , except Royal North West Mounted Police Constable Jack Thornton ( Daniel Lissing ) . He believes Thatcher 's wealthy father has doomed the lawman 's career by insisting he be assigned in town to protect the shipping magnate 's daughter . The town of Coal Valley was renamed Hope Valley in Episode 2 , Season 2 after the coal mine was closed . Living in this 1910 coal town , Elizabeth must learn the ways of the Canadian frontier movement if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own . Lori Loughlin portrays Abigail Stanton , whose husband , the foreman of the mine , and her only son -- along with 44 other miners -- have recently been killed in an explosion , which turns out to have been a tragic accident waiting to happen -- a result of the mining - company site manager 's irresponsible management and lack of due care in his management of the mine . The newly widowed women find their faith tested when they must go to work in the mine to keep a roof over their heads , food on the table , and compile a wage for the town 's teacher .

Lee then tells her that he has another `` role '' that he thinks would be perfect for her and proposes marriage . She happily accepts . In `` Hearts In Question , '' Rosemary enthusiastically plans for their wedding .

When she declines his romantic intentions , Lee recruits his friend , Molly Sullivan , to make Rosemary jealous ; the ploy succeeds and Rosemary accepts his suit , appreciating Lee 's good qualities . Despite her dramatic and occasionally prickly personality , Lee 's compassion and patience never fails with her . With Rosemary 's help , Lee beat Mr. Gowen at his own game in `` Heart and Home . '' When not at work , Lee enjoys being with friends , including Jack Thornton , who shares Lee 's simple and laidback outlook , allowing the men to discuss their lives and exchange romantic advice .

'' Possessing a great sense of teamwork and encouragement , Cat supports the women of Coal Valley while working in the mines in `` Cease and Desist . '' She is good friends with Elizabeth and Abigail . In `` These Games , '' she also helps Jack catch a thief . Florence Blakeley is a feisty gossip in Hope Valley . She often has a pessimistic perspective and always seems to find the negative , even in a very positive situation .

'' Molly is reunited with her daughter , to the joy of the town 's people .

5700657834274174355 | Mid-Atlantic Ridge | Mid-Atlantic ridge - wikipedia Mid-Atlantic ridge A map of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge The Mid-Atlantic Ridge ( MAR ) is a mid-ocean ridge , a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean , and part of the longest mountain range in the world . In the North Atlantic it separates the Eurasian and North American Plates , and in the South Atlantic it separates the African and South American Plates . The ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge ( Mid-Arctic Ridge ) northeast of Greenland southward to the Bouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic . Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature , portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level . The section of the ridge that includes Iceland is known as the Reykjanes Ridge . The ridge has an average spreading rate of about 2.5 centimetres ( 0.98 in ) per year . Contents ( hide ) 1 Discovery 2 Notable features 3 Islands 4 Geology 5 See also 6 References 7 Bibliography 8 External links Discovery ( edit ) Pangaea 's separation animated A ridge under the Atlantic Ocean was first inferred by Matthew Fontaine Maury in 1850 . The existence of the ridge was discovered during the expedition of HMS Challenger in 1872 . A team of scientists on board , led by Charles Wyville Thomson , discovered a large rise in the middle of the Atlantic while investigating the future location for a transatlantic telegraph cable . The existence of such a ridge was confirmed by sonar in 1925 and was found to extend around the Cape of Good Hope into the Indian Ocean by the German Meteor expedition . In the 1950s , mapping of the Earth 's ocean floors by Bruce Heezen , Maurice Ewing , Marie Tharp and others revealed that the Mid-Atlantic Ridge had a strange bathymetry of valleys and ridges , with its central valley being seismologically active and the epicenter of many earthquakes . Ewing , Heezen and Tharp discovered that the ridge is part of a 40,000 - km - long essentially continuous system of mid-ocean ridges on the floors of all the Earth 's oceans . The discovery of this worldwide ridge system led to the theory of seafloor spreading and general acceptance of Wegener 's theory of continental drift and expansion in the modified form of plate tectonics . The ridge is central to the breakup of the hypothetical supercontinent of Pangaea that began some 180 million years ago . Notable features ( edit ) In Iceland the Mid-Atlantic Ridge passes across the Þingvellir National Park , a popular destination for tourists The Mid-Atlantic Ridge includes a deep rift valley that runs along the axis of the ridge along nearly its entire length . This rift marks the actual boundary between adjacent tectonic plates , where magma from the mantle reaches the seafloor , erupting as lava and producing new crustal material for the plates . Near the equator , the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is divided into the North Atlantic Ridge and the South Atlantic Ridge by the Romanche Trench , a narrow submarine trench with a maximum depth of 7,758 m ( 25,453 ft ) , one of the deepest locations of the Atlantic Ocean . This trench , however , is not regarded as the boundary between the North and South American Plates , nor the Eurasian and African Plates . Islands ( edit ) The islands on or near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge , from north to south , with their respective highest peaks and location , are : Northern Hemisphere ( North Atlantic Ridge ) : Jan Mayen ( Beerenberg , 2277 m ( at 71 ° 06 ′ N 08 ° 12 ′ W / 71.100 ° N 8.200 ° W / 71.100 ; - 8.200 ) , in the Arctic Ocean Iceland ( Hvannadalshnúkur at Vatnajökull , 2109.6 m ( at 64 ° 01 ′ N 16 ° 41 ′ W / 64.017 ° N 16.683 ° W / 64.017 ; - 16.683 ) , through which the ridge runs Azores ( Ponta do Pico or Pico Alto , on Pico Island , 2351 m , ( at 38 ° 28 ′ 0 '' N 28 ° 24 ′ 0 '' W / 38.46667 ° N 28.40000 ° W / 38.46667 ; - 28.40000 ) Saint Peter and Paul Rocks ( Southwest Rock , 22.5 m , at 00 ° 55 ′ 08 '' N 29 ° 20 ′ 35 '' W / 0.91889 ° N 29.34306 ° W / 0.91889 ; - 29.34306 ) Southern Hemisphere ( South Atlantic Ridge ) : Ascension Island ( The Peak , Green Mountain , 859 m , at 07 ° 59 ′ S 14 ° 25 ′ W / 7.983 ° S 14.417 ° W / - 7.983 ; - 14.417 ) Saint Helena ( Diana 's Peak , 818 m at 15 ° 57 ′ S 5 ° 41 ′ W / 15.950 ° S 5.683 ° W / - 15.950 ; - 5.683 ) Tristan da Cunha ( Queen Mary 's Peak , 2062 m , at 37 ° 05 ′ S 12 ° 17 ′ W / 37.083 ° S 12.283 ° W / - 37.083 ; - 12.283 ) Gough Island ( Edinburgh Peak , 909 m , at 40 ° 20 ′ S 10 ° 00 ′ W / 40.333 ° S 10.000 ° W / - 40.333 ; - 10.000 ) Bouvet Island ( Olavtoppen , 780 m , at 54 ° 24 ′ S 03 ° 21 ′ E / 54.400 ° S 3.350 ° E / - 54.400 ; 3.350 ) Geology. ( edit ) Basaltic rocks of the MAR collected by the Hercules ROV during the 2005 Lost City Expedition . For a general explanation of mid-oceanic ridges , see mid-oceanic ridge and seafloor spreading The ridge sits atop a geologic feature known as the Mid-Atlantic Rise , which is a progressive bulge that runs the length of the Atlantic Ocean , with the ridge resting on the highest point of this linear bulge . This bulge is thought to be caused by upward convective forces in the asthenosphere pushing the oceanic crust and lithosphere . This divergent boundary first formed in the Triassic period , when a series of three - armed grabens coalesced on the supercontinent Pangaea to form the ridge . Usually , only two arms of any given three - armed graben become part of a divergent plate boundary . The failed arms are called aulacogens , and the aulacogens of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge eventually became many of the large river valleys seen along the Americas and Africa ( including the Mississippi River , Amazon River and Niger River ) . The Fundy Basin on the Atlantic coast of North America between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Canada is evidence of the ancestral Mid-Atlantic Ridge .

After Goku and Frieza exchange some sarcastic banter , they power up again and continue their fight . Frieza still has the upper hand , but Goku realizes he only needs to stall Frieza long enough for his weakness to reappear . After a fully powered Frieza unleashes a barrage of attacks , he quickly becomes tired and starts running out of breath , with his attacks no longer hurting Goku . Frieza finally realizes his weakness ; a lack of endurance , as his Golden form exhausts more energy than he can produce . Goku explains this is because Frieza rushed to Earth immediately after achieving the Golden form without giving himself enough time to master it . Frieza agonizes over his failed chance at revenge in combat , but mouths a few inaudible words to Sorbet for assistance . Goku tells Frieza to leave Earth while he still can -- but to everyone 's surprise , a laser beam pierces Goku 's chest from behind , fired from Sorbet 's ray gun .

Whis protects Goku and the others , but Vegeta and everyone else on the planet are killed -- with Whis suspecting Frieza survived and escaped through his ability to breathe in space . As Goku laments his failure to stop Frieza and protect Earth , Whis offers to turn back time by a couple of minutes and allow Goku one last chance .

Although Beerus demands that Basil is disqualified for obvious cheating , Grand Zenō and Future Grand Zenō is entertained by this and allows the fight to continue .

Jiren rebuffs him and fires a powerful energy blast down at No. 17 , Goku , and Vegeta .

Goku and Jiren resume their battle , but Goku has the same problem he experienced with Kefla , and is unable to attack at his full potential . Goku tries the same trick he used on Kefla by powering up a Kamehameha and firing it at Jiren , but Jiren is able to punch through the blast . Belmod is confident that Goku 's incomplete Ultra Instinct will not be enough to win , but Vegeta points out that , throughout the tournament , all of the Saiyans have been able to surpass their limits and achieve higher levels of power .

The two exchange attacks continuously . Despite almost being defeated twice , Goku stands up and recovers . When Jiren asks why Goku refuses to surrender , his friends claim that the source of Goku 's strength comes from the trust between him and his companions . Refusing to accept it , an enraged Jiren launches an attack on the bleachers that is repelled by a furious Goku , who finally defeats him . However , just as Goku is about to knock Jiren out , his body collapses from the strain of using Ultra Instinct for too long . Jiren takes the opportunity to knock Goku off the fighting stage , but Goku is saved by Frieza . No. 17 is also revealed to have survived Jiren 's blast .

As the only fighter remaining on the fighting stage , No. 17 is declared the winner of the Tournament of Power , and he is given the privilege of getting his wish granted from the Super Dragon Balls . After some consideration , No. 17 wishes to restore all of the universes that had been erased , which brings all their inhabitants back to life . As the erased universes are restored , the Grand Minister reveals that Grand Zenō and Future Grand Zenō had foresaw the outcome of a virtuous being winning the Tournament of Power who would make a selfless wish on the Super Dragon Balls . He also stated that they would have otherwise erased the entire multiverse if the winner had wished for selfish reasons , as this would have shown that the winning universe was no better than the erased universes and that the universes excluded from the tournament were not equally worthy of existing .

Spaatz Deputy Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force Website Official Website The Chief of Staff of the Air Force ( acronym : CSAF , or AF / CC ) is a statutory office ( 10 U.S.C. § 8033 ) held by a four - star general in the United States Air Force , and is the most senior uniformed officer assigned to serve in the Department of the Air Force , and as such is the principal military advisor and a deputy to the Secretary of the Air Force ; and is in a separate capacity a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , and thereby a military adviser to the National Security Council , the Secretary of Defense , and the President . The Chief of Staff is typically the highest - ranking officer on active - duty in the U.S. Air Force unless the Chairman and / or the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are Air Force officers . The Chief of Staff of the Air Force is an administrative position based in the Pentagon , and while the Chief of Staff does not have operational command authority over Air Force forces ( that is within the purview of the Combatant Commanders who report to the Secretary of Defense ) , the Chief of Staff does exercise supervision of Air Force units and organizations as the designee of the Secretary of the Air Force . The current Chief of Staff of the Air Force is General David L. Goldfein .

By statute , the CSAF is appointed as a four - star general .

It is the second - lowest denomination of banknote issued by the Bank of England . The current polymer note , first issued in 2017 , bears the image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the image of author Jane Austen on the reverse . The final cotton paper note featuring a portrait of naturalist Charles Darwin , first issued in 2000 , was withdrawn from circulation on 1 March 2018 . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Designs 3 See also 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) Ten pound notes were introduced by the Bank of England for the first time in 1759 as a consequence of gold shortages caused by the Seven Years ' War . The earliest notes were handwritten , and were issued as needed to individuals . These notes were written on one side only and bore the name of the payee , the date , and the signature of the issuing cashier . With the exception of the Restriction Period between 1797 and 1821 , when the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars caused a bullion shortage , these notes could be exchanged in full , or in part , for an equivalent amount of gold when presented at the bank . If redeemed in part , the banknote would be signed to indicate the amount that had been redeemed . From 1853 printed notes replaced handwritten notes , with the declaration `` I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of ten pounds '' replacing the name of the payee . This declaration remains on Bank of England banknotes to this day . A printed signature of one of three cashiers appeared on the printed notes , though this was replaced by the signature of the Chief Cashier from 1870 onward . A £ 10 note , issued from Manchester in 1919 . The ability to redeem banknotes for gold ceased in 1931 when Britain stopped using the gold standard . The £ 10 note ceased to be produced by the Bank of England in 1943 , and it was not until 1964 with the advent of the series C notes that the denomination was re-introduced . These brown notes were the first £ 10 notes to feature an image of the monarch on the front , and unlike the previous ' White ' notes they had a reverse ; in this case featuring a lion . The C series was replaced by the D series beginning in 1975 , with the new notes having a portrait of Florence Nightingale on the back . The tradition of portraying historical British figures on the reverse continued with the E series , first issued in 1992 , with an image of Charles Dickens appearing . Series E notes are multicoloured , although they are predominantly orange - brown . From series E onward Bank of England £ 10 notes feature ' windowed ' metal thread ; this thread appears as a dashed line , yet forms a single line when held up to the light . The revised Series E £ 10 note was introduced in 2000 . It features a portrait of Charles Darwin on the back as well as an illustration of HMS Beagle and images of various flora and fauna . The note features a number of security features in addition to the metallic thread , including raised print , a watermark , microlettering , a hologram , and a number ten which only appears under ultraviolet light . In December 2013 the Bank of England announced that the next £ 10 note would be printed on polymer , rather than cotton paper . This followed the announcement in July 2013 that Charles Darwin would be replaced by 19th Century author Jane Austen on the next £ 10 note , which would enter circulation in 2017 . The decision to replace Darwin with Austen followed a campaign to have a woman on the back of a Bank of England banknote when it was announced that the only woman to feature on the back of a note -- prison reformer Elizabeth Fry on the £ 5 note -- was to be replaced by Winston Churchill . Images on the reverse of the Jane Austen note include a portrait of Austen commissioned by her nephew , an illustration of Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice by Isabel Bishop , an image of Godmersham Park ( the home of Austen 's brother ) , and a design based on Austen 's 12 - sided writing table as used by her at Chawton Cottage . The note also includes the quote `` I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading ! '' which is said by Austen 's character Caroline Bingley , who in fact has no interest in reading and is attempting to impress Mr Darcy .

-5801183338478409355 | England at the FIFA World Cup | England at the FIFA World Cup - wikipedia England at the FIFA World Cup The England national football team has competed at the FIFA World Cup since 1950 . The FIFA World Cup is the premier competitive international football tournament , first played in 1930 , whose finals stage has been held every four years since , except 1942 and 1946 , due to the Second World War . The tournament consists of two parts , the qualification phase and the final phase ( officially called the World Cup Finals ) . The qualification phase , which currently take place over the three years preceding the finals , is used to determine which teams qualify for the finals . The current format of the finals involves thirty - two teams competing for the title , at venues within the host nation ( or nations ) over a period of about a month . The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world , with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 Final . England did not enter the competition until 1950 , but have entered all eighteen subsequent tournaments . They have failed to qualify for the finals on three occasions , 1974 ( West Germany ) , 1978 ( Argentina ) and 1994 ( United States ) , and have failed to advance from the group stages on three occasions ; at the 1950 FIFA World Cup , the 1958 FIFA World Cup and the 2014 FIFA World Cup . Their best ever performance is winning the Cup in the 1966 tournament held in England , whilst they also finished in fourth place in 1990 , in Italy , and in 2018 in Russia . Other than that , the team have reached the quarter - finals on nine occasions , the latest of which were at the 2002 ( South Korea / Japan ) and the 2006 ( Germany ) . England are the only team not representing a sovereign state to win the World Cup , which they did in 1966 when they hosted the finals . They defeated West Germany 4 -- 2 after extra time to win the World Cup title . Since then , they have generally reached the knockout stages of almost every competition they have qualified for , including a fourth - place finish in the 1990 and 2018 World Cups . At the world cup , England have had more goalless draws than any other team .

The series kicked off for England on 15 October 1949 at Ninian Park , Cardiff , against Wales . Stan Mortensen gave England the lead after twenty two minutes , and just seven minutes later , Jackie Milburn doubled the lead . This was the first goal of Milburn 's hat trick , which left England 4 -- 0 up with 20 minutes to play . Mal Griffiths scored a consolation goal for Wales ten minutes from time , but England held on for a comfortable victory . A month later , England welcomed Ireland to Maine Road , and it began well for the home side as Jack Rowley scored inside six minutes . England were already 6 -- 0 up , thanks to Jack Froggatt , two for Stan Pearson , Stan Mortensen and a second from Rowley , by the time Ireland struck back through Samuel Smyth after 55 minutes . Rowley added a third and a fourth to his tally in the three minutes following Smyth 's goal , however , leaving the score at 8 -- 1 at the hour mark . The frantic scoring rate calmed down after that , with only one apeice before the final whistle , with Stan Pearson completing his brace for England 's ninth , and Bobby Brennan scoring for Ireland . It was not until May 1950 that England travelled to Hampden Park to face Scotland , who were also undefeated after their games against Ireland and Wales . With the top two from the group qualifying , both teams were guaranteed progression to the finals , and the game was solely for the honour of winning the British Home Championship , and the seeding advantage to be enjoyed upon reaching Brazil . A solitary goal from Roy Bentley gave England the victory , the title and the top spot in the group . 1950 finals ( edit ) England were seeded in pot one for the finals , which meant they were the favourites to progress from Group 2 , which also contained Spain , Chile and the United States . England 's campaign kicked off against Chile in Rio de Janeiro , and , as was expected , England cruised to a 2 -- 0 victory , courtesy of goals from Stan Mortensen and Wilf Mannion . Main article : United States v England ( 1950 FIFA World Cup ) Their troubles began four days later when they faced the Americans in Belo Horizonte in what has become one of the most famous matches of all time . Joe Gaetjens scored the only goal of the match to give the United States an unlikely victory , which has gone down as one of the World Cup 's greatest upsets . A myth arose that the English newspapers were so confident of an English victory that when the result was telegrammed back , they assumed a misprint and printed the score as 10 -- 1 in England 's favour . However , this has proven to be untrue . This left England in a sticky situation prior to their final match , against Spain in Rio . They needed to win , and for Chile to beat the United States to stand any chance of going through , and even then they would need the goal averages to fall in their favour . As it turned out , no such calculations were necessary , despite Chile 's victory , as Spain 's Zarra scored the only goal of the game , eliminating England from the competition . Switzerland 1954 ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main articles : 1954 FIFA World Cup and 1953 -- 54 British Home Championship As with their first World Cup , England 's qualifying for the 1954 edition also constituted the 1953 -- 54 British Home Championship . They played Wales at Ninian Park as their first match once again , and the 4 -- 1 result was the same . However , unlike four years earlier , it was the home side that went into the lead , after twenty two minutes through Ivor Allchurch . Despite being 1 -- 0 down at half time , England scored four within eight minutes of the restart ; two each for Dennis Wilshaw and Nat Lofthouse . Goodison Park was the venue for England 's home clash against Ireland , who were newly renamed Northern Ireland . Harold Hassall got England off to a good start with a goal after just ten minutes . Eddie McMorran put the Irish back on terms just before the hour mark , but Hassall completed his brace six minutes later . Lofthouse completed a comfortable 3 -- 1 win for England . With the top two in the group qualifying for the finals , the final game between England and Scotland , at Hampden Park , settled nothing except the placings within the group , despite Scotland having dropped a point with a 3 -- 3 draw at home to Wales . Allan Brown put the home side ahead after just seven minutes , but it was all square again thanks to Ivor Broadis just four minutes later . Johnny Nicholls gave England the lead for the first time just after half time , and they began to extend a lead after Ronnie Allen 's 68th - minute goal . Jimmy Mullen made the game all but certain seven minutes from time , and although Willie Ormond scored a consolation for Scotland with just 1 minute to play , England topped the competition for the second time in a row . 1954 finals ( edit ) England were drawn in Group 4 for the finals , with hosts Switzerland , Italy and Belgium . In an odd twist , unique to the 1954 tournament , England and Italy , as the two seeded teams in the group , did not have to play each other . Equally , Switzerland and Belgium did not have to play each other . England 's first game in Switzerland was against Belgium in Basel , and they suffered a shock as Léopold Anoul put the Belgians into the lead after just five minutes . Ivor Broadis put the favourites back on terms just over twenty minutes later , and although Nat Lofthouse gave England the lead 10 minutes later , it was proving to be tougher than they had expected against the Belgians . Broadis scored his second just after the hour , but Henri Coppens hit back four minutes later to keep Belgium in the game at only 3 -- 2 down . Anoul completed his brace another four minutes after that to level the scores again . In another oddity peculiar to this World Cup , drawn matches in the group stage would go to extra time , and as such the teams played on with the score at 3 -- 3 . Just one minute into the added period , Lofthouse added a fourth for England and they seemed to have won it , but Jimmy Dickinson scored an own goal three minutes later to put the score back at 4 -- 4 . It stayed this way until the extra period was up , and as penalty shoot - outs were yet to be invented and replays were not used in the group , the match was recorded as a draw . England 's second and final group game was against the hosts in Bern . This proved to be an easier game for the Three Lions , and they scored one goal in each half ( from Jimmy Mullen and Dennis Wilshaw respectively ) to give them a comfortable win of 2 -- 0 . As Switzerland ( against England ) , Italy ( against Switzerland ) and Belgium ( against Italy ) had all lost one game , England progressed as group winners , along with Switzerland , who won a play - off against Italy . England faced the winners of group three and defending champions Uruguay in the quarter - finals . Carlos Borges gave the South Americans the lead inside 5 minutes , but Lofthouse put England back on terms ten minutes later . England were clearly struggling , but held on until just before half time , when Obdulio Varela gave the lead back Uruguay . Juan Alberto Schiaffino doubled the lead just after the break , but Tom Finney kept England 's foot in the door with his sixty seventh - minute goal . However , it was all over after Javier Ambrois restored the two goal lead with twelve minutes to play . The score remained at 4 -- 2 , and England were eliminated from the cup . Sweden 1958 ( edit ) Main article : 1958 FIFA World Cup For the first time , England had to play against countries other than the Home Nations to reach the Finals in Sweden . They were drawn against the Republic of Ireland and Denmark . In the qualifying round , England won three out of the four games and drew the other . Four months before the World Cup , Roger Byrne , Duncan Edwards , David Pegg and Tommy Taylor all lost their lives in the Munich air disaster while playing for Manchester United . At the finals , which is the only tournament to have seen all Home Nations take part , the Home Nations were all drawn in different groups . England were drawn against the Soviet Union ( 2 -- 2 ) , Brazil ( 0 -- 0 ) and Austria ( 2 -- 2 ) , who finished third in the 1954 World Cup . At the end of the group stage , Soviet Union and England each had three points , and had scored four goals and conceded four goals . This meant there was a play - off to decide the second - placed team in the group , the winner to qualify . England lost the play - off 1 -- 0 and were thus knocked out . The only consolation for England was that they were the only team to play the eventual winners Brazil and not lose . Chile 1962 ( edit ) Main article : 1962 FIFA World Cup The third World Cup which took place in South America , saw England qualify by successfully qualifying from the group , which contained Portugal and Luxembourg , defeating Luxembourg on both occasions , and defeating Portugal at home , and drawing in Lisbon . At the finals , England were drawn in a group with Hungary , Argentina and Bulgaria . England defeated Argentina 3 - 1 , thanks to goals from Ron Flowers , Bobby Charlton and Jimmy Greaves , before playing out a goalless draw with Bulgaria , and a 2 -- 1 defeat to Hungary . England finished in second place behind Hungary and played the winners of group 3 , defending champions Brazil , in the quarter - finals . Brazil scored first through Garrincha , before an equaliser for Gerry Hitchens before half time . However , second - half goals from Garrincha and Vavá meant Brazil won the game 3 -- 1 , and eliminated England from the competition . This defeat was manager Walter Winterbottom 's last game in charge . Winterbottom had led England to four World Cup Finals . From May 1963 , Alf Ramsey became the manager of England . England 1966 ( edit ) Main article : 1966 FIFA World Cup This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( July 2018 ) In the 1966 World Cup Finals , England used their home advantage and , under Ramsey , won their first , and only , World Cup title . England played all their games at Wembley Stadium in London , which became the last time that the hosts were granted this privilege . After drawing 0 -- 0 in the opening game against former champions Uruguay , which started a run of four games all ending goalless . England then beat both France and Mexico 2 -- 0 and qualified for the quarter - finals . The quarter - finals saw England play Argentina , which ended in a 1 -- 0 win to England . This match saw the start of the rivalry between England and Argentina , when Argentinian Antonio Rattín was dismissed by German referee Rudolf Kreitlein in a very fierce game . A 2 -- 1 win against Portugal in the semi-final then followed . Portugal were the first team to score against England in the tournament . The final saw England play West Germany , with the result finishing in a 4 -- 2 win for England , after extra time . Mexico 1970 ( edit ) Main article : 1970 FIFA World Cup 1970 saw the first World Cup finals take place in North America and England qualified automatically for the tournament by winning the 1966 FIFA World Cup . England were drawn in a group with Romania , former world champions Brazil and Czechoslovakia . Each of the matches only saw one goal , with England defeating Romania and Czechoslovakia , and losing to Brazil . The quarter - final saw a repeat of the 1966 final , with England playing West Germany . England were hampered by the fact that first - choice goalkeeper Gordon Banks was ill , and Peter Bonetti played instead . England led 2 -- 0 with goals by Alan Mullery and Martin Peters , but in the 70th minute , Franz Beckenbauer pulled one goal back for West Germany . After Beckenbauer 's goal , Ramsey substituted Bobby Charlton , who overtook Billy Wright as England 's most capped player ever , with caps totalling 106 . Uwe Seeler equalised for the Germans in the eighty first minute , thereby taking the game into extra time . During extra time , Gerd Müller scored the winning goal for West Germany which saw the German side win 3 -- 2 . This turned out to be Charlton 's last game for England . West Germany 1974 ( edit ) Main article : 1974 FIFA World Cup qualification For the first time , England did not qualify for a World Cup . In a group with Olympic champions Poland and Wales , England could not overtake Poland . After only drawing at home to Wales 1 -- 1 and losing the first leg 2 -- 0 to Poland , meant that England had to beat Poland at home , whilst Poland only needed to draw . Poland managed to withstand England 's attacks in the first half , who had Martin Peters playing for them . Poland took the lead in the 57th minute with a goal from Jan Domarski . England equalised six minutes later , with a penalty converted by Allan Clarke . England were unable to score any more goals with goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski keeping England at bay . Brian Clough had previously called Tomaszewski a `` clown '' . The commentator of the game then said `` it 's all over '' . Poland took this good form to the finals and ended in third place . After failing to qualify , Alf Ramsey resigned from his post and after a time , where Ramsey and his predecessor had lasted a total of 29 years , no manager was able to last in the job for longer than eight years . This ended when Bobby Robson became England manager . Argentina 1978 ( edit ) See also : 1978 FIFA World Cup qualification This section does not cite any sources .

( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) England also did not qualify for the fourth World Cup which took place in South America . This time , England were denied by Italy , who had scored three more goals than England after both teams finished on the same points . Goals scored dictated who qualified after the head - to - head record between the two sides finished the same , following a 2 -- 0 home win for each team . The lower - ranked teams in the group were Finland and Luxembourg , but the size of the wins against them proved to be decisive . Nevertheless , Ron Greenwood was given a second chance in charge of England , after taking the role in 1977 . Spain 1982 ( edit ) Main article : 1982 FIFA World Cup 1982 saw the first time where the European Qualifying Rounds were divided into groups of five teams , where the top two teams qualify for the World Cup . Greenwood used his second chance and took England to Spain by finishing second behind Hungary and above Romania , Switzerland and Norway . At the finals , England won all three group games , defeating France 3 - 1 , with a brace from Bryan Robson , before beating Czechoslovakia 2 -- 0 , with a Jozef Barmos own goal , and World Cup newcomers Kuwait 1 -- 0 , thanks to a Trevor Francis goal . The next round saw a second group stage consisting of three teams , a first time event at the World Cup . England drew with West Germany 0 -- 0 and after the Germans beat Spain 2 -- 1 , England then had to beat Spain with a two - goal difference to progress to the next round . England , however , only managed a 0 -- 0 draw against the Spanish . England remained unbeaten at the end of the tournament . After the World Cup , Ron Greenwood 's time as England manager ended , and he was replaced by Bobby Robson . Mexico 1986 ( edit ) Main article : 1986 FIFA World Cup This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) 1986 saw the second World Cup to take place in Mexico . England qualified for Mexico 1986 by winning four games and drawing four times against Northern Ireland , who qualified in second place , Romania , Finland and Turkey . In Mexico , England lost their opening game to Portugal 1 -- 0 and could only manage a goalless draw against Morocco . The final group game , however , saw England beat Poland 3 -- 0 , which is one of the three highest scores for England at the World Cup , with Gary Lineker scoring a hat - trick . This result took England to second place and finished behind Morocco . England then also beat Paraguay 3 -- 0 in the Round of 16 . In the quarter - finals , England renewed their rivalry with Argentina in a game that has become notorious for the Argentina goals , both scored by Diego Maradona . Maradona 's first goal , known as the Hand of God , was illegal and should not have counted , as he used his hand to punch the ball into the net . However , the referee missed this infringement , and ruled that the goal should stand . Maradona then made the score 2 - 0 , famously dribbling from inside Argentina 's half and around several English players before scoring . Gary Lineker pulled back the score to 2 - 1 , but England ran out of time to equalise , and were eliminated . Nevertheless , Lineker finished with the Golden Boot by scoring six goals and thereby becoming England 's first Golden Boot winner . Italy 1990 ( edit ) Main article : 1990 FIFA World Cup By winning three and drawing three , England qualified for Italia ' 90 , the second World Cup to be held in Italy , scoring ten goals and conceding none . England were unbeaten through qualification , winning three games , and drawing the remaining three , but still finished second to Sweden , whom they drew with twice . England profited from Romania 's 3 -- 1 win over Denmark , who , had they won , would have qualified as the third - best second - placed team . West Germany and England were able to qualify for Italia ' 90 as the best second - placed teams in the groups with four teams . Because a few years previously saw English hooligans at European competition matches , England were forced to play their group games on Sardinia and Sicily . In group F , was the European champions Netherlands , the Republic of Ireland and Egypt and England . After opening the tournament with a 1 -- 1 draw against Ireland and a 0 -- 0 draw against the Dutch , England then beat Egypt 1 -- 0 . This was Egypt 's first appearance since the 1934 World Cup . England won the group with four points . In the next round , England had to play Belgium . The game went to extra time , and in the hundredth and nineteenth minute , David Platt scored the winning goal . England also had to play extra time against Cameroon in the quarter - finals . Cameroon were the first African team to have reached the quarter - finals . England opened the scoring through David Platt , but Cameroon quickly turned around the game to lead 2 - 1 . Lineker subsequently won and scored a penalty in the 83rd minute to ensure the game went to extra time . He then scored a second penalty , to see England reach the semi-finals . In the semi-finals , England met West Germany . There was no separating the two teams after 90 minutes , which made England the first team to have played extra time in three successive World Cup games . There was also no separating the two teams after extra time , thereby taking the game to penalties . Although English goalkeeper Peter Shilton dived the right way for every penalty , he was unable to save any . German goalkeeper Bodo Illgner , having failed to save any of England 's first three penalties , saved England 's fourth penalty , taken by Stuart Pearce . Olaf Thon then scored for Germany , meaning that England 's Chris Waddle would have to score his fifth penalty and hope that Shilton saved the Germans ' fifth penalty . However , Waddle 's penalty missed completely , going high over the crossbar , thereby resulting in England 's being knocked out of the competition . The third - place playoff between England and Italy saw England lose their only game of the tournament in normal time . Even though this was England 's best finish since the 1966 World Cup , Bobby Robson 's time as England manager had come to an end . United States 1994 ( edit ) Main article : 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification For the 1994 World Cup in the United States , under the leadership of new manager Graham Taylor , England surprisingly did not qualify for the tournament . In a group with six teams , England lost to Norway and the Netherlands , finishing third above Poland , Turkey and San Marino . England went into their final game with San Marino knowing they would need a seven - goal victory and for Poland to beat the Netherlands in the other match in order to qualify . In the game against San Marino , Davide Gualtieri scored against England after nine seconds , taking the lead for the outsiders . England went on to win 7 -- 1 , which was too small a goal margin . Additionally , despite the half - time score between the Poles and the Dutch being 1 - 1 , the Dutch went on to win 3 - 1 , meaning that however many goals England scored , they could still not qualify . Taylor 's tenure in charge ended and he was replaced by Terry Venables , who was dismissed after England lost the semi-final of Euro 1996 , hosted in England . France 1998 ( edit ) Main article : 1998 FIFA World Cup After missing out on the World Cup in 1994 , England , managed by Glenn Hoddle , qualified for the World Cup in France . England were drawn in Group 2 of UEFA qualifying with Italy , Poland , Georgia and Moldova . England beat Poland , Georgia and Moldova both home and away , but a home defeat to Italy in their fourth match meant they went into the final qualifier at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome just a point ahead of the Azzurri and only needing a draw to qualify automatically ; defeat would see them have to navigate a play - off to secure qualification . The match finished as a goalless draw and England finished top of the group . At the finals in France , England played in Group G. England defeated Tunisia 2 -- 0 in the first game , with goals from Alan Shearer and Paul Scholes . Their second match saw England lose 2 -- 1 to Romania ; despite an 81st - minute equaliser from Michael Owen , Dan Petrescu scored a winner shortly before injury time . In their final group game , England defeated Colombia 2 -- 0 in the decisive match , thanks to goals from midfielders Darren Anderton and David Beckham . England finished second in Group G , which saw them qualify for the last 16 phase , and play the winner of 1998 FIFA World Cup Group H , Argentina . In a fiery game containing six yellow cards and two penalties , David Beckham was controversially sent off in the 47th minute for what many felt was at most a yellow card offence , knocking over Diego Simeone . Gabriel Batistuta opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the fifth minute of the game , before an equaliser also from the spot by Alan Shearer four minutes later . England took the lead through Owen , in the 16th minute . Argentina drew level through Javier Zanetti in injury time of the first half . The game finished 2 - 2 , and , as neither team were able to find a winner in extra time , penalties were needed to decide the team that qualified to the next round . While David Seaman did save one penalty , Argentine goalkeeper Carlos Roa managed to save two , including the vital one from David Batty , thereby knocking England out of the World Cup . Beckham subsequently received death threats and was sent bullets in the post . South Korea / Japan 2002 ( edit ) Main article : 2002 FIFA World Cup In 2002 the World Cup took place in Asia for the first time . England , under its first ever foreign manager in Swedish Sven - Göran Eriksson , were able to qualify for the tournament . England were drawn in Group 9 , alongside Germany , Finland , Greece and Albania . In the last ever game in the original Wembley Stadium , ( which closed after the match ) England played Germany , losing 1 -- 0 , the only goal scored by Dietmar Hamann . The match was the last under the management of Kevin Keegan , who resigned at the end of the match , and was replaced by Eriksson . By beating Germany 5 -- 1 in Munich , England 's qualifying campaign was revitalised , and they qualified automatically , by drawing 2 -- 2 with Greece . Germany , who could only draw 0 -- 0 with Finland , had to play a play - off game against Ukraine , with England qualifying ahead winning the group . In Japan , England had to play against Eriksson 's homeland , Sweden , and both settled out for a 1 -- 1 draw . England and Beckham gained a measure of revenge for their previous 1998 defeat in defeating Argentina 1 - 0 , thanks to a Beckham penalty . However , England could only manage a disappointing 0 - 0 draw against Nigeria , meaning that although they were able to qualify for the second round , where they played Denmark , they qualified as runners up , which meant that they would meet favourites Brazil in the quarter - finals if they qualified . England played Denmark in the round of 16 defeating Denmark 3 -- 0 , thanks to goals from Micheal Owen , Rio Ferdinand , and Emile Heskey . England played four - time World Cup winners and 1998 runners - up Brazil in the quarter - finals . Despite leading through a Michael Owen goal , a mistake by David Seaman saw England lose 2 -- 1 , and Brazil won their fourth World Cup match against England , and went on to win the tournament . Germany 2006 ( edit ) Main article : 2006 FIFA World Cup England were drawn into Group 6 of European qualifying for the 2006 World Cup . The group featured other home nations in Wales , and Northern Ireland , as well as Poland ( who had eliminated England the last time the World Cup took place in Germany ) , Azerbaijan and Austria . England won eight of the 10 games , and qualified as group winners , in front of Portugal , despite drawing to Austria in Vienna , and losing to Northern Ireland in Belfast . In Germany , however , England were less convincing . England played in Group B , alongside Paraguay , Trinidad and Tobago , and Sweden . England started with a 1 -- 0 win against Paraguay ; which was won due to a 3rd minute own goal . The second game against first time qualifiers Trinidad and Tobago saw England have to wait until the 83rd minute for England to take the lead , with Peter Crouch opened the scoring with a goal many felt was illegal , and the second goal of the game coming in added time from Steven Gerrard . The last group game saw England play against Sweden , where an eventual 2 - 2 draw saw them qualify for the next round as group winners , thereby avoiding playing hosts Germany . In the last 16 stage , a free kick from David Beckham saw England win 1 -- 0 against Ecuador and reach the quarter - finals , where they faced Portugal . The game finished goalless , and England once again were knocked out on penalties and Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo became the first goalkeeper to save three penalties in a penalty shoot - out . Ricardo saved from Frank Lampard , Steven Gerrard , and Jamie Carragher ; the only England player who successfully converted his penalty was Owen Hargreaves . Portugal won the shoot - out 3 - 1 , despite misses from Petit and Hugo Viana . This game was also Erickson 's final match as England manager . South africa 2010 ( edit ) Main article : 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualification for the first African World Cup went successfully for new England manager Fabio Capello , after previous manager Steve McClaren was unable to secure qualification to the Euro 2008 . By winning nine times and only losing to Ukraine , England qualified ahead of Croatia , Belarus , Kazakhstan and Andorra . England 's group was seen as a favourable one , containing comparatively much weaker teams . However , England opened up their campaign with a 1 -- 1 draw against the United States , thanks to a major error by goalkeeper Robert Green . They then drew 0 -- 0 against Algeria and were booed off the field by their own fans , drawing the ire of striker Wayne Rooney . England eventually qualified for the next round by beating Slovenia 1 -- 0 , but only qualified as runners up to the United States , thereby meaning they would draw favourites Germany . In the second round match , Germany took the lead after 20 minutes after goalkeeper Manuel Neuer played the ball down the pitch to Miroslav Klose , who opened the scoring . The score became 2 -- 0 to Germany after 32 minutes . Shortly after , England defender Matthew Upson scored a header . Later , Frank Lampard had a shot at goal which was disallowed despite crossing the line ; which was confirmed on replays . German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer admitted subsequently he knew the ball had crossed the line , but decided to deceive the referee . The German media reported it was `` revenge for Wembley '' , while the English media criticised FIFA 's refusal to implement goal - line technology . Ironically , despite his earlier opposition to goal - line technology , Sepp Blatter said that it should be introduced after a Ukrainian goal against England at Euro 2012 was ruled out . As England tried to equalise , Germany used this to their advantage and scored two more goals . This became Germany 's biggest win against England in a World Cup , winning 4 - 1 . Brazil 2014 ( edit ) Main article : 2014 FIFA World Cup Under Roy Hodgson , who replaced Fabio Capello after Euro 2012 after a disagreement between Capello and The FA , England qualified for the second World Cup to be held in Brazil . Ukraine were again one of the opponents in the qualifying rounds . The other opponents included Montenegro , Poland , Moldova and San Marino . After winning six games and drawing four , England qualified unbeaten . The draw for the finals saw England have to play against Italy and Uruguay , both former world champions , which meant that it was the first ever time three World Champions were drawn in the same group , along with Costa Rica . England lost to Italy and Uruguay , and were thus knocked out after two games . The final match against Costa Rica finished as a goalless draw . This performance was statistically their worst ever performance at a World Cup , ending up with just one point after two losses to Uruguay and Italy and a goalless draw with Costa Rica in the dead rubber match , their lowest points total in the group stage of a world cup . Russia 2018 ( edit ) Main article : 2018 FIFA World Cup England played in UEFA Group F in qualification for the 2018 World Cup , in a group of six with Slovakia , Slovenia , Scotland , Lithuania and Malta , with only the winner of the group guaranteed qualification . England went into the qualification process under manager Sam Allardyce , only for Allardyce to leave the post after just one game due to controversy regarding discussing breaking FIFA rules . Under Allardyce 's replacement , Gareth Southgate , England went undefeated throughout qualification , winning eight matches out of 10 , drawing with Slovenia 0 -- 0 in Ljubljana , and drawing 2 -- 2 with Scotland in Glasgow thanks to a 90th - minute equaliser from Harry Kane . This was the third successive major tournament that England were undefeated , having been undefeated in 2014 World Cup , and Euro 2016 qualifying . 2018 finals ( edit ) England national team at the 2018 World Cup in Russia Under Gareth Southgate , the England team began their tournament in group G against Tunisia . The game started well for England with a goal from Harry Kane in the 11th minute . Tunisia equalised through Sassi from the penalty spot in the 35th minute following a foul by Kyle Walker . Some controversy followed as various potential offences against Harry Kane , inside the penalty area were ignored by the referee and no VAR checks were carried out . England persevered and scored a second goal in the 91st minute , again by Harry Kane , resulting in a 2 -- 1 victory . In the second group stage match , England surpassed their record for goals scored in a World Cup match by beating Panama 6 - 1 . Jesse Lingard scored the third goal , John Stones scored the first and fourth goals and Harry Kane scored a hat - trick with the second , fifth and sixth goals . In the final group stage match , England narrowly lost 1 - 0 to Belgium . Adnan Januzaj scored the sole goal of the game ; but with both teams having fielded reserve teams , with England specificially making 9 changes . Before the game media outlets stating that a loss could potentially become beneficial , as the winner would be in the half of the draw with four of the top seven sides in the world . The result that meant Belgium topped the group and England finished second , setting up a last 16 clash with Group H winners Colombia . England played their last 16 match in the Otkritie Arena , Moscow , with the same team as against Tunisia . Harry Kane scored his sixth goal of the tournament , and the third penalty , after once again being fouled in the box from a corner , similarly as against Panama . The score remained at 1 - 0 , until stoppage time , where a header from Yerry Mina beat Jordan Pickford in goal to bring the game to extra time . Neither team managed to score in extra time , and the match went to penalties , which England won 4 - 3 . As well as being the first knockout match England had won at a major tournament since 2006 ( last defeating Ecuador in the last 16 ) ; it was the first time England won a World Cup penalty shoot - out . The match was notable for the heated atmosphere the game was played in , with a total of eight yellow cards being shown in the match . England played against Sweden in their quarter - final at Cosmos Arena , Samara on 7 July 2018 . They won the match 2 -- 0 , with defender Harry Maguire scoring his first England goal , a header scored from a corner , and Dele Alli a second header from close range . This would send them through to their third World Cup semi-final and their first since 1990 , and third overall . The team played Croatia in the semi-final , resulting in a 2 -- 1 loss after extra time . England would later finish fourth in the competition , the best result since 1990 . England would lose again to Belgium in the 3rd place playoff , thanks to goals from Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard , despite a Eric Dier shot being cleared off the line by Toby Alderweireld . The tournament would see England score nine goals from set - pieces -- the most by a team in a single World Cup tournament since 1966 .

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

The Empire of Nicaea is considered the legitimate continuation of the Byzantine Empire because they managed to re-take Constantinople . c . ^ See Population of the Byzantine Empire for more detailed figures taken provided by McEvedy and Jones , Atlas of World Population History , 1978 , as well as Angeliki E. Laiou , The Economic History of Byzantium , 2002 . The Byzantine Empire , also referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire , was the continuation of the Roman Empire in the East during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages , when its capital city was Constantinople ( modern - day Istanbul , which had been founded as Byzantium ) . It survived the fragmentation and fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD and continued to exist for an additional thousand years until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 . During most of its existence , the empire was the most powerful economic , cultural , and military force in Europe . Both `` Byzantine Empire '' and `` Eastern Roman Empire '' are historiographical terms created after the end of the realm ; its citizens continued to refer to their empire as the Roman Empire ( Greek : Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων , tr . Basileia tôn Rhōmaiōn ; Latin : Imperium Romanum ) , or Romania ( Ῥωμανία ) , and to themselves as `` Romans . '' Several signal events from the 4th to 6th centuries mark the period of transition during which the Roman Empire 's Greek East and Latin West divided . Constantine I ( r . 324 -- 337 ) reorganised the empire , made Constantinople the new capital , and legalised Christianity . Under Theodosius I ( r . 379 -- 395 ) , Christianity became the Empire 's official state religion and other religious practices were proscribed . Finally , under the reign of Heraclius ( r . 610 -- 641 ) , the Empire 's military and administration were restructured and adopted Greek for official use instead of Latin . Thus , although the Roman state continued and Roman state traditions were maintained , modern historians distinguish Byzantium from ancient Rome insofar as it was centred on Constantinople , oriented towards Greek rather than Latin culture , and characterised by Orthodox Christianity . The borders of the Empire evolved significantly over its existence , as it went through several cycles of decline and recovery . During the reign of Justinian I ( r . 527 -- 565 ) , the Empire reached its greatest extent after reconquering much of the historically Roman western Mediterranean coast , including North Africa , Italy , and Rome itself , which it held for two more centuries . During the reign of Maurice ( r . 582 -- 602 ) , the Empire 's eastern frontier was expanded and the north stabilised . However , his assassination caused the Byzantine -- Sasanian War of 602 -- 628 , which exhausted the Empire 's resources and contributed to major territorial losses during the Early Muslim conquests of the seventh century . In a matter of years the Empire lost its richest provinces , Egypt and Syria , to the Arabs . During the Macedonian dynasty ( 10th -- 11th centuries ) , the Empire again expanded and experienced the two - century long Macedonian Renaissance , which came to an end with the loss of much of Asia Minor to the Seljuk Turks after the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 . This battle opened the way for the Turks to settle in Anatolia . The Empire recovered again during the Komnenian restoration , such that by the 12th century Constantinople was the largest and wealthiest European city . However , it was delivered a mortal blow during the Fourth Crusade , when Constantinople was sacked in 1204 and the territories that the Empire formerly governed were divided into competing Byzantine Greek and Latin realms . Despite the eventual recovery of Constantinople in 1261 , the Byzantine Empire remained only one of several small rival states in the area for the final two centuries of its existence . Its remaining territories were progressively annexed by the Ottomans over the 15th century . The Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453 finally ended the Byzantine Empire .

The term comes from `` Byzantium '' , the name of the city of Constantinople before it became Constantine 's capital . This older name of the city would rarely be used from this point onward except in historical or poetic contexts . The publication in 1648 of the Byzantine du Louvre ( Corpus Scriptorum Historiae Byzantinae ) , and in 1680 of Du Cange 's Historia Byzantina further popularised the use of `` Byzantine '' among French authors , such as Montesquieu . However , it was not until the mid-19th century that the term came into general use in the Western world . The Byzantine Empire was known to its inhabitants as the `` Roman Empire '' , the `` Empire of the Romans '' ( Latin : Imperium Romanum , Imperium Romanorum ; Greek : Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων Basileia tōn Rhōmaiōn , Ἀρχὴ τῶν Ῥωμαίων Archē tōn Rhōmaiōn ) , `` Romania '' ( Latin : Romania ; Greek : Ῥωμανία Rhōmania ) , the `` Roman Republic '' ( Latin : Res Publica Romana ; Greek : Πολιτεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων Politeia tōn Rhōmaiōn ) , and also as Rhōmais ( Greek : Ῥωμαΐς ) . The inhabitants called themselves Romaioi , and even as late as the 19th century Greeks typically referred to modern Greek as Romaika . Although the Byzantine Empire had a multi-ethnic character during most of its history and preserved Romano - Hellenistic traditions , it became identified by its western and northern contemporaries with its increasingly predominant Greek element . The occasional use of the term `` Empire of the Greeks '' ( Latin : Imperium Graecorum ) in the West to refer to the Eastern Roman Empire and of the Byzantine Emperor as Imperator Graecorum ( Emperor of the Greeks ) were also used to separate it from the prestige of the Roman Empire within the new kingdoms of the West . The authority of the Byzantine emperor as the legitimate Roman emperor was challenged by the coronation of Charlemagne as Imperator Augustus by Pope Leo III in the year 800 . Needing Charlemagne 's support in his struggle against his enemies in Rome , Leo used the lack of a male occupant of the throne of the Roman Empire at the time to claim that it was vacant and that he could therefore crown a new Emperor himself . No such distinction existed in the Islamic and Slavic worlds , where the Empire was more straightforwardly seen as the continuation of the Roman Empire . In the Islamic world , the Roman Empire was known primarily as Rûm . The name millet - i Rûm , or `` Roman nation , '' was used by the Ottomans through the 20th century to refer to the former subjects of the Byzantine Empire , that is , the Orthodox Christian community within Ottoman realms .

These territories were home to many different cultural groups , both urban populations and rural populations . Generally speaking , the eastern Mediterranean provinces were more urbanised than the western , having previously been united under the Macedonian Empire and Hellenised by the influence of Greek culture . The West also suffered more heavily from the instability of the 3rd century AD . This distinction between the established Hellenised East and the younger Latinised West persisted and became increasingly important in later centuries , leading to a gradual estrangement of the two worlds . Decentralization of power See also : Byzantium under the Constantinian and Valentinian dynasties To maintain control and improve administration , various schemes to divide the work of the Roman Emperor by sharing it between individuals were tried between 285 and 324 , from 337 to 350 , from 364 to 392 , and again between 395 and 480 . Although the administrative subdivisions varied , they generally involved a division of labour between East and West . Each division was a form of power - sharing ( or even job - sharing ) , for the ultimate imperium was not divisible and therefore the empire remained legally one state -- although the co-emperors often saw each other as rivals or enemies . In 293 , emperor Diocletian created a new administrative system ( the tetrarchy ) , to guarantee security in all endangered regions of his Empire . He associated himself with a co-emperor ( Augustus ) , and each co-emperor then adopted a young colleague given the title of Caesar , to share in their rule and eventually to succeed the senior partner . The tetrarchy collapsed , however , in 313 and a few years later Constantine I reunited the two administrative divisions of the Empire as sole Augustus . Recentralisation In 330 , Constantine moved the seat of the Empire to Constantinople , which he founded as a second Rome on the site of Byzantium , a city strategically located on the trade routes between Europe and Asia and between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea . Constantine introduced important changes into the Empire 's military , monetary , civil and religious institutions . As regards his economic policies in particular , he has been accused by certain scholars of `` reckless fiscality '' , but the gold solidus he introduced became a stable currency that transformed the economy and promoted development . Under Constantine , Christianity did not become the exclusive religion of the state , but enjoyed imperial preference , because the emperor supported it with generous privileges . Constantine established the principle that emperors could not settle questions of doctrine on their own , but should summon instead general ecclesiastical councils for that purpose . His convening of both the Synod of Arles and the First Council of Nicaea indicated his interest in the unity of the Church , and showcased his claim to be its head . The rise of Christianity was briefly interrupted on the accession of the emperor Julian in 361 , who made a determined effort to restore polytheism throughout the empire and was thus dubbed `` Julian the Apostate '' by the Church . However this was reversed when Julian was killed in battle in 363 . Restored section of the Theodosian Walls . Theodosius I ( 379 -- 395 ) was the last Emperor to rule both the Eastern and Western halves of the Empire . In 391 and 392 he issued a series of edicts essentially banning pagan religion . Pagan festivals and sacrifices were banned , as was access to all pagan temples and places of worship . The last Olympic Games are believed to have been held in 393 . In 395 , Theodosius I bequeathed the imperial office jointly to his sons : Arcadius in the East and Honorius in the West , once again dividing Imperial administration . In the 5th century the Eastern part of the empire was largely spared the difficulties faced by the West -- due in part to a more established urban culture and greater financial resources , which allowed it to placate invaders with tribute and pay foreign mercenaries . This success allowed Theodosius II to focus on the codification of Roman law and further fortification of the walls of Constantinople , which left the city impervious to most attacks until 1204 . Large portions of the Theodosian Walls are preserved to the present day . To fend off the Huns , Theodosius had to pay an enormous annual tribute to Attila . His successor , Marcian , refused to continue to pay the tribute , but Attila had already diverted his attention to the West . After Attila 's death in 453 , the Hunnic Empire collapsed , and many of the remaining Huns were often hired as mercenaries by Constantinople . Loss of the Western Roman Empire The Roman Empire during the reigns of Leo I ( east ) and Majorian ( west ) in 460 AD . Roman rule in the west would last less than two more decades , whereas the territory of the east would remain static until the reconquests of Justinian I . After the fall of Attila , the Eastern Empire enjoyed a period of peace , while the Western Empire deteriorated due to continuing migration and expansion by the Germanic nations ( its end is usually dated in 476 when the Germanic Roman general Odoacer deposed the usurper Western Emperor Romulus Augustulus ) . In 480 with the death of the Western Emperor Julius Nepos , Eastern Emperor Zeno became sole Emperor of the empire . Odoacer , now ruler of Italy , was nominally Zeno 's subordinate but acted with complete autonomy , eventually providing support to a rebellion against the Emperor . Zeno negotiated with the invading Ostrogoths , who had settled in Moesia , convincing the Gothic king Theodoric to depart for Italy as magister militum per Italiam ( `` commander in chief for Italy '' ) with the aim of deposing Odoacer . By urging Theodoric to conquer Italy , Zeno rid the Eastern Empire of an unruly subordinate ( Odoacer ) and moved another ( Theodoric ) further from the heart of the Empire . After Odoacer 's defeat in 493 , Theodoric ruled Italy de facto , although he was never recognised by the eastern emperors as `` king '' ( rex ) . In 491 , Anastasius I , an aged civil officer of Roman origin , became Emperor , but it was not until 497 that the forces of the new emperor effectively took the measure of Isaurian resistance . Anastasius revealed himself as an energetic reformer and an able administrator . He perfected Constantine I 's coinage system by definitively setting the weight of the copper follis , the coin used in most everyday transactions . He also reformed the tax system and permanently abolished the chrysargyron tax . The State Treasury contained the enormous sum of 320,000 lb ( 150,000 kg ) of gold when Anastasius died in 518 . Justinian dynasty See also : Byzantine Empire under the Justinian dynasty Justinian I depicted on one of the famous mosaics of the Basilica of San Vitale , Ravenna . Theodora , Justinian 's wife , depicted on the mosaics of the Basilica of San Vitale , Ravenna . The Justinian dynasty was founded by Justin I , who though illiterate , rose through the ranks of the military to become Emperor in 518 . He was succeeded by his nephew Justinian I in 527 , who may already have exerted effective control during Justin 's reign . One of the most important figures of late antiquity and possibly the last Roman emperor to speak Latin as a first language , Justinian 's rule constitutes a distinct epoch , marked by the ambitious but only partly realized renovatio imperii , or `` restoration of the Empire '' . His wife Theodora was particularly influential . In 529 , Justinian appointed a ten - man commission chaired by John the Cappadocian to revise Roman law and create a new codification of laws and jurists ' extracts , known as the `` Corpus Juris Civilis '' or the Justinian Code . In 534 , the Corpus was updated and , along with the enactments promulgated by Justinian after 534 , formed the system of law used for most of the rest of the Byzantine era . The Corpus forms the basis of civil law of many modern states . In 532 , attempting to secure his eastern frontier , Justinian signed a peace treaty with Khosrau I of Persia agreeing to pay a large annual tribute to the Sassanids . In the same year , he survived a revolt in Constantinople ( the Nika riots ) , which solidified his power but ended with the deaths of a reported 30,000 to 35,000 rioters on his orders . The western conquests began in 533 , as Justinian sent his general Belisarius to reclaim the former province of Africa from the Vandals who had been in control since 429 with their capital at Carthage . Their success came with surprising ease , but it was not until 548 that the major local tribes were subdued . In Ostrogothic Italy , the deaths of Theodoric , his nephew and heir Athalaric , and his daughter Amalasuntha had left her murderer , Theodahad ( r . 534 -- 536 ) , on the throne despite his weakened authority . In 535 , a small Byzantine expedition to Sicily met with easy success , but the Goths soon stiffened their resistance , and victory did not come until 540 , when Belisarius captured Ravenna , after successful sieges of Naples and Rome . In 535 -- 536 , Theodahad sent Pope Agapetus I to Constantinople to request the removal of Byzantine forces from Sicily , Dalmatia , and Italy . Although Agapetus failed in his mission to sign a peace with Justinian , he succeeded in having the Monophysite Patriarch Anthimus I of Constantinople denounced , despite empress Theodora 's support and protection . The Ostrogoths were soon reunited under the command of King Totila and captured Rome in 546 . Belisarius , who had been sent back to Italy in 544 , was eventually recalled to Constantinople in 549 . The arrival of the Armenian eunuch Narses in Italy ( late 551 ) with an army of 35,000 men marked another shift in Gothic fortunes . Totila was defeated at the Battle of Taginae and his successor , Teia , was defeated at the Battle of Mons Lactarius ( October 552 ) . Despite continuing resistance from a few Gothic garrisons and two subsequent invasions by the Franks and Alemanni , the war for the Italian peninsula was at an end . In 551 , Athanagild , a noble from Visigothic Hispania , sought Justinian 's help in a rebellion against the king , and the emperor dispatched a force under Liberius , a successful military commander . The empire held on to a small slice of the Iberian Peninsula coast until the reign of Heraclius . In the east , the Roman -- Persian Wars continued until 561 when the envoys of Justinian and Khosrau agreed on a 50 - year peace . By the mid-550s , Justinian had won victories in most theatres of operation , with the notable exception of the Balkans , which were subjected to repeated incursions from the Slavs and the Gepids . Tribes of Serbs and Croats were later resettled in the northwestern Balkans , during the reign of Heraclius . Justinian called Belisarius out of retirement and defeated the new Hunnish threat . The strengthening of the Danube fleet caused the Kutrigur Huns to withdraw and they agreed to a treaty that allowed safe passage back across the Danube . Although polytheism had been suppressed by the state since at least the time of Constantine in the 4th century , traditional Greco - Roman culture was still influential in the Eastern empire in the 6th century . Philosophers such as John Philoponus drew on neoplatonic ideas in addition to Christian thought and empiricism . Nevertheless , Hellenistic philosophy began to be gradually supplanted by or amalgamated into newer Christian philosophy . The closure of the Platonic Academy in 529 was a notable turning point . Hymns written by Romanos the Melodist marked the development of the Divine Liturgy , while the architects Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles worked to complete the new Church of the Holy Wisdom , Hagia Sophia , which was designed to replace an older church destroyed during the Nika Revolt . Completed in 537 , the Hagia Sophia stands today as one of the major monuments of Byzantine architectural history . During the 6th and 7th centuries , the Empire was struck by a series of epidemics , which greatly devastated the population and contributed to a significant economic decline and a weakening of the Empire . The Eastern Roman Empire in 600 AD during the reign of Emperor Maurice . After Justinian died in 565 , his successor , Justin II refused to pay the large tribute to the Persians . Meanwhile , the Germanic Lombards invaded Italy ; by the end of the century only a third of Italy was in Byzantine hands . Justin 's successor , Tiberius II , choosing between his enemies , awarded subsidies to the Avars while taking military action against the Persians . Though Tiberius ' general , Maurice , led an effective campaign on the eastern frontier , subsidies failed to restrain the Avars . They captured the Balkan fortress of Sirmium in 582 , while the Slavs began to make inroads across the Danube . Maurice , who meanwhile succeeded Tiberius , intervened in a Persian civil war , placed the legitimate Khosrau II back on the throne and married his daughter to him . Maurice 's treaty with his new brother - in - law enlarged the territories of the Empire to the East and allowed the energetic Emperor to focus on the Balkans . By 602 , a series of successful Byzantine campaigns had pushed the Avars and Slavs back across the Danube . However , Maurice 's refusal to ransom several thousand captives taken by the Avars , and his order to the troops to winter in the Danube caused his popularity to plummet . A revolt broke out under an officer named Phocas , who marched the troops back to Constantinople ; Maurice and his family were murdered while trying to escape . Shrinking borders Early Heraclian dynasty For more details on this topic , see Byzantine Empire under the Heraclian dynasty . Siege of Constantinople in 626 by the combined Avar , Sassanid Persian , and Slavic forces depicted on the murals of the Moldovița Monastery , Romania The Byzantine Empire in 650 -- by this year it had lost all of its southern provinces except the Exarchate of Africa . After Maurice 's murder by Phocas , Khosrau used the pretext to reconquer the Roman province of Mesopotamia . Phocas , an unpopular ruler invariably described in Byzantine sources as a `` tyrant '' , was the target of a number of Senate - led plots . He was eventually deposed in 610 by Heraclius , who sailed to Constantinople from Carthage with an icon affixed to the prow of his ship . Following the accession of Heraclius , the Sassanid advance pushed deep into the Levant , occupying Damascus and Jerusalem and removing the True Cross to Ctesiphon . The counter-attack launched by Heraclius took on the character of a holy war , and an acheiropoietos image of Christ was carried as a military standard ( similarly , when Constantinople was saved from a combined Avar -- Sassanid -- Slavic siege in 626 , the victory was attributed to the icons of the Virgin that were led in procession by Patriarch Sergius about the walls of the city ) . In this very siege of Constantinople of the year 626 , amidst the climactic Byzantine -- Sasanian War of 602 -- 628 , the combined Avar , Sassanid , and Slavic forces unsuccessfully besieged the Byzantine capital between June and July . After this , the Sassanid army was forced to withdraw to Anatolia . The loss came just after news had reached them of yet another Byzantine victory , where Heraclius 's brother Theodore scored well against the Persian general Shahin . Following this , Heraclius led an invasion into Sassanid Mesopotamia once again . The main Sassanid force was destroyed at Nineveh in 627 , and in 629 Heraclius restored the True Cross to Jerusalem in a majestic ceremony , as he marched into the Sassanid capital of Ctesiphon , where anarchy and civil war reigned as a result of the enduring war . Eventually , the Persians were obliged to withdraw all armed forces and return Sassanid - ruled Egypt , the Levant and whatever imperial territories of Mesopotamia and Armenia were in Roman hands at the time of an earlier peace treaty in c. 595 . The war had exhausted both the Byzantines and Sassanids , however , and left them extremely vulnerable to the Muslim forces that emerged in the following years . The Byzantines suffered a crushing defeat by the Arabs at the Battle of Yarmouk in 636 , while Ctesiphon fell in 637 . Siege of Constantinople ( 674 -- 678 ) Greek fire was first used by the Byzantine Navy during the Byzantine -- Arab Wars ( from the Madrid Skylitzes , Biblioteca Nacional de España , Madrid ) . The Arabs , now firmly in control of Syria and the Levant , sent frequent raiding parties deep into Asia Minor , and in 674 -- 678 laid siege to Constantinople itself . The Arab fleet was finally repulsed through the use of Greek fire , and a thirty - years ' truce was signed between the Empire and the Umayyad Caliphate . However , the Anatolian raids continued unabated , and accelerated the demise of classical urban culture , with the inhabitants of many cities either refortifying much smaller areas within the old city walls , or relocating entirely to nearby fortresses . Constantinople itself dropped substantially in size , from 500,000 inhabitants to just 40,000 -- 70,000 , and , like other urban centres , it was partly ruralised . The city also lost the free grain shipments in 618 , after Egypt fell first to the Persians and then to the Arabs , and public wheat distribution ceased . The void left by the disappearance of the old semi-autonomous civic institutions was filled by the theme system , which entailed dividing Asia Minor into `` provinces '' occupied by distinct armies that assumed civil authority and answered directly to the imperial administration . This system may have had its roots in certain ad hoc measures taken by Heraclius , but over the course of the 7th century it developed into an entirely new system of imperial governance . The massive cultural and institutional restructuring of the Empire consequent on the loss of territory in the 7th century has been said to have caused a decisive break in east Mediterranean Romanness and that the Byzantine state is subsequently best understood as another successor state rather than a real continuation of the Roman Empire . Late Heraclian dynasty See also : Twenty Years ' Anarchy The withdrawal of large numbers of troops from the Balkans to combat the Persians and then the Arabs in the east opened the door for the gradual southward expansion of Slavic peoples into the peninsula , and , as in Asia Minor , many cities shrank to small fortified settlements . In the 670s , the Bulgars were pushed south of the Danube by the arrival of the Khazars . In 680 , Byzantine forces sent to disperse these new settlements were defeated . In 681 , Constantine IV signed a treaty with the Bulgar khan Asparukh , and the new Bulgarian state assumed sovereignty over a number of Slavic tribes that had previously , at least in name , recognised Byzantine rule . In 687 -- 688 , the final Heraclian emperor , Justinian II , led an expedition against the Slavs and Bulgarians , and made significant gains , although the fact that he had to fight his way from Thrace to Macedonia demonstrates the degree to which Byzantine power in the north Balkans had declined . Justinian II attempted to break the power of the urban aristocracy through severe taxation and the appointment of `` outsiders '' to administrative posts . He was driven from power in 695 , and took shelter first with the Khazars and then with the Bulgarians . In 705 , he returned to Constantinople with the armies of the Bulgarian khan Tervel , retook the throne , and instituted a reign of terror against his enemies . With his final overthrow in 711 , supported once more by the urban aristocracy , the Heraclian dynasty came to an end . Isaurian dynasty to the accession of Basil I For more details on this topic , see Byzantine Empire under the Isaurian dynasty . The Byzantine Empire at the accession of Leo III , c. 717 . Striped area indicates land raided by the Arabs . Leo III the Isaurian turned back the Muslim assault in 718 and addressed himself to the task of reorganising and consolidating the themes in Asia Minor . His successor , Constantine V , won noteworthy victories in northern Syria and thoroughly undermined Bulgarian strength . Taking advantage of the Empire 's weakness after the Revolt of Thomas the Slav in the early 820s , the Arabs re-emerged and captured Crete . They also successfully attacked Sicily , but in 863 general Petronas gained a decisive victory against Umar al - Aqta , the emir of Melitene ( Malatya ) . Under the leadership of emperor Krum , the Bulgarian threat also re-emerged , but in 815 -- 816 Krum 's son , Omurtag , signed a peace treaty with Leo V . Religious dispute over iconoclasm Main article : Byzantine iconoclasm The 8th and early 9th centuries were also dominated by controversy and religious division over Iconoclasm , which was the main political issue in the Empire for over a century . Icons ( here meaning all forms of religious imagery ) were banned by Leo and Constantine from around 730 , leading to revolts by iconodules ( supporters of icons ) throughout the empire . After the efforts of empress Irene , the Second Council of Nicaea met in 787 and affirmed that icons could be venerated but not worshiped . Irene is said to have endeavoured to negotiate a marriage between herself and Charlemagne , but , according to Theophanes the Confessor , the scheme was frustrated by Aetios , one of her favourites . In the early 9th century , Leo V reintroduced the policy of iconoclasm , but in 843 empress Theodora restored the veneration of icons with the help of Patriarch Methodios . Iconoclasm played a part in the further alienation of East from West , which worsened during the so - called Photian schism , when Pope Nicholas I challenged the elevation of Photios to the patriarchate . Macedonian dynasty and resurgence ( 867 -- 1025 ) See also : Byzantine Empire under the Macedonian dynasty The Byzantine Empire , c. 867 . The accession of Basil I to the throne in 867 marks the beginning of the Macedonian dynasty , which would rule for the next two and a half centuries . This dynasty included some of the most able emperors in Byzantium 's history , and the period is one of revival and resurgence . The Empire moved from defending against external enemies to reconquest of territories formerly lost . In addition to a reassertion of Byzantine military power and political authority , the period under the Macedonian dynasty is characterised by a cultural revival in spheres such as philosophy and the arts . There was a conscious effort to restore the brilliance of the period before the Slavic and subsequent Arab invasions , and the Macedonian era has been dubbed the `` Golden Age '' of Byzantium . Though the Empire was significantly smaller than during the reign of Justinian , it had regained significant strength , as the remaining territories were less geographically dispersed and more politically , economically , and culturally integrated . Wars against the Arabs Main article : Arab -- Byzantine wars The general Leo Phokas defeats the Hamdanid Emirate of Aleppo at Andrassos in 960 , from the Madrid Skylitzes . In the early years of Basil I 's reign , Arab raids on the coasts of Dalmatia were successfully repelled , and the region once again came under secure Byzantine control . This enabled Byzantine missionaries to penetrate to the interior and convert the Serbs and the principalities of modern - day Herzegovina and Montenegro to Orthodox Christianity . An attempt to retake Malta ended disastrously , however , when the local population sided with the Arabs and massacred the Byzantine garrison . By contrast , the Byzantine position in Southern Italy was gradually consolidated so that by 873 Bari was once again under Byzantine rule , and most of Southern Italy would remain in the Empire for the next 200 years . On the more important eastern front , the Empire rebuilt its defences and went on the offensive . The Paulicians were defeated and their capital of Tephrike ( Divrigi ) taken , while the offensive against the Abbasid Caliphate began with the recapture of Samosata . The military successes of the 10th century were coupled with a major cultural revival , the so - called Macedonian Renaissance . Miniature from the Paris Psalter , an example of Hellenistic - influenced art . Under Basil 's son and successor , Leo VI the Wise , the gains in the east against the now - weak Abbasid Caliphate continued . However , Sicily was lost to the Arabs in 902 , and in 904 Thessaloniki , the Empire 's second city , was sacked by an Arab fleet . The naval weakness of the Empire was rectified . Despite this revenge the Byzantines were still unable to strike a decisive blow against the Muslims , who inflicted a crushing defeat on the imperial forces when they attempted to regain Crete in 911 . The death of the Bulgarian tsar Simeon I in 927 severely weakened the Bulgarians , allowing the Byzantines to concentrate on the eastern front . Melitene was permanently recaptured in 934 , and in 943 the famous general John Kourkouas continued the offensive in Mesopotamia with some noteworthy victories , culminating in the reconquest of Edessa . Kourkouas was especially celebrated for returning to Constantinople the venerated Mandylion , a relic purportedly imprinted with a portrait of Christ . The soldier - emperors Nikephoros II Phokas ( reigned 963 -- 969 ) and John I Tzimiskes ( 969 -- 976 ) expanded the empire well into Syria , defeating the emirs of north - west Iraq . The great city of Aleppo was taken by Nikephoros in 962 and the Arabs were decisively expelled from Crete in 963 . The recapture of Crete put an end to Arab raids in the Aegean allowing mainland Greece to flourish once again . Cyprus was permanently retaken in 965 and the successes of Nikephoros culminated in 969 with the recapture of Antioch , which he incorporated as a province of the Empire . His successor John Tzimiskes recaptured Damascus , Beirut , Acre , Sidon , Caesarea , and Tiberias , putting Byzantine armies within striking distance of Jerusalem , although the Muslim power centres in Iraq and Egypt were left untouched . After much campaigning in the north , the last Arab threat to Byzantium , the rich province of Sicily , was targeted in 1025 by Basil II , who died before the expedition could be completed . Nevertheless , by that time the Empire stretched from the straits of Messina to the Euphrates and from the Danube to Syria . Wars against the Bulgarian Empire For more details on this topic , see Byzantine -- Bulgarian wars . Emperor Basil II ( r . 976 -- 1025 ) The traditional struggle with the See of Rome continued through the Macedonian period , spurred by the question of religious supremacy over the newly Christianised state of Bulgaria . Ending eighty years of peace between the two states , the powerful Bulgarian tsar Simeon I invaded in 894 but was pushed back by the Byzantines , who used their fleet to sail up the Black Sea to attack the Bulgarian rear , enlisting the support of the Hungarians . The Byzantines were defeated at the Battle of Boulgarophygon in 896 , however , and agreed to pay annual subsidies to the Bulgarians . Leo the Wise died in 912 , and hostilities soon resumed as Simeon marched to Constantinople at the head of a large army . Though the walls of the city were impregnable , the Byzantine administration was in disarray and Simeon was invited into the city , where he was granted the crown of basileus ( emperor ) of Bulgaria and had the young emperor Constantine VII marry one of his daughters . When a revolt in Constantinople halted his dynastic project , he again invaded Thrace and conquered Adrianople . The Empire now faced the problem of a powerful Christian state within a few days ' marching distance from Constantinople , as well as having to fight on two fronts . A great imperial expedition under Leo Phocas and Romanos I Lekapenos ended with another crushing Byzantine defeat at the Battle of Achelous in 917 , and the following year the Bulgarians were free to ravage northern Greece . Adrianople was plundered again in 923 , and a Bulgarian army laid siege to Constantinople in 924 . Simeon died suddenly in 927 , however , and Bulgarian power collapsed with him . Bulgaria and Byzantium entered a long period of peaceful relations , and the Empire was now free to concentrate on the eastern front against the Muslims . In 968 , Bulgaria was overrun by the Rus ' under Sviatoslav I of Kiev , but three years later , John I Tzimiskes defeated the Rus ' and re-incorporated Eastern Bulgaria into the Byzantine Empire . The extent of the Empire under Basil II Bulgarian resistance revived under the rule of the Cometopuli dynasty , but the new emperor Basil II ( r . 976 -- 1025 ) made the submission of the Bulgarians his primary goal . Basil 's first expedition against Bulgaria , however , resulted in a humiliating defeat at the Gates of Trajan . For the next few years , the emperor would be preoccupied with internal revolts in Anatolia , while the Bulgarians expanded their realm in the Balkans . The war dragged on for nearly twenty years . The Byzantine victories of Spercheios and Skopje decisively weakened the Bulgarian army , and in annual campaigns , Basil methodically reduced the Bulgarian strongholds . At the Battle of Kleidion in 1014 the Bulgarians were annihilated : their army was captured , and it is said that 99 out of every 100 men were blinded , with the hundredth man left with one eye so he could lead his compatriots home . When Tsar Samuil saw the broken remains of his once formidable army , he died of shock . By 1018 , the last Bulgarian strongholds had surrendered , and the country became part of the Empire . This victory restored the Danube frontier , which had not been held since the days of the emperor Heraclius . Relations with the Kievan Rus ' Rus ' under the walls of Constantinople ( 860 ) Between 850 and 1100 , the Empire developed a mixed relationship with the new state of the Kievan Rus ' , which had emerged to the north across the Black Sea . This relationship would have long - lasting repercussions in the history of the East Slavs , and the Empire quickly became the main trading and cultural partner for Kiev . The Rus ' launched their first attack against Constantinople in 860 , pillaging the suburbs of the city . In 941 , they appeared on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus , but this time they were crushed , an indication of the improvements in the Byzantine military position after 907 , when only diplomacy had been able to push back the invaders . Basil II could not ignore the emerging power of the Rus ' , and , following the example of his predecessors , he used religion as a means for the achievement of political purposes . Rus ' -- Byzantine relations became closer following the marriage of Anna Porphyrogeneta to Vladimir the Great in 988 , and the subsequent Christianisation of the Rus ' . Byzantine priests , architects , and artists were invited to work on numerous cathedrals and churches around Rus ' , expanding Byzantine cultural influence even further , while numerous Rus ' served in the Byzantine army as mercenaries , most notably as the famous Varangian Guard . Even after the Christianisation of the Rus ' , however , relations were not always friendly . The most serious conflict between the two powers was the war of 968 -- 971 in Bulgaria , but several Rus ' raiding expeditions against the Byzantine cities of the Black Sea coast and Constantinople itself are also recorded . Although most were repulsed , they were often followed by treaties that were generally favourable to the Rus ' , such as the one concluded at the end of the war of 1043 , during which the Rus ' gave an indication of their ambitions to compete with the Byzantines as an independent power . Apex Constantinople became the largest and wealthiest city in Europe between the 9th and 11th centuries Basil II is considered among the most capable Byzantine emperors and his reign as the apex of the empire in the Middle Ages . By 1025 , the date of Basil II 's death , the Byzantine Empire stretched from Armenia in the east to Calabria in Southern Italy in the west . Many successes had been achieved , ranging from the conquest of Bulgaria to the annexation of parts of Georgia and Armenia , and the reconquest of Crete , Cyprus , and the important city of Antioch . These were not temporary tactical gains but long - term reconquests . Leo VI achieved the complete codification of Byzantine law in Greek . This monumental work of 60 volumes became the foundation of all subsequent Byzantine law and is still studied today . Leo also reformed the administration of the Empire , redrawing the borders of the administrative subdivisions ( the Themata , or `` Themes '' ) and tidying up the system of ranks and privileges , as well as regulating the behaviour of the various trade guilds in Constantinople . Leo 's reform did much to reduce the previous fragmentation of the Empire , which henceforth had one center of power , Constantinople . However , the increasing military success of the Empire greatly enriched and empowered the provincial nobility with respect to the peasantry , who were essentially reduced to a state of serfdom . Under the Macedonian emperors , the city of Constantinople flourished , becoming the largest and wealthiest city in Europe , with a population of approximately 400,000 in the 9th and 10th centuries . During this period , the Byzantine Empire employed a strong civil service staffed by competent aristocrats that oversaw the collection of taxes , domestic administration , and foreign policy . The Macedonian emperors also increased the Empire 's wealth by fostering trade with Western Europe , particularly through the sale of silk and metalwork . Split between Orthodox Christianity and catholicism ( 1054 ) Further information : East -- West Schism Mural of Saints Cyril and Methodius , 19th century , Troyan Monastery , Bulgaria The Macedonian period also included events of momentous religious significance . The conversion of the Bulgarians , Serbs and Rus ' to Orthodox Christianity permanently changed the religious map of Europe and still resonates today . Cyril and Methodius , two Byzantine Greek brothers from Thessaloniki , contributed significantly to the Christianization of the Slavs and in the process devised the Glagolitic alphabet , ancestor to the Cyrillic script . In 1054 , relations between the Eastern and Western traditions within the Christian Church reached a terminal crisis , known as the East -- West Schism . Although there was a formal declaration of institutional separation , on July 16 , when three papal legates entered the Hagia Sophia during Divine Liturgy on a Saturday afternoon and placed a bull of excommunication on the altar , the so - called Great Schism was actually the culmination of centuries of gradual separation . Unfortunately the legates did not know that the Pope had died , an event that made the excommunication void and the excommunication only applied to the Patriarch who responded by excommunicating the legates . Crisis and fragmentation The Empire soon fell into a period of difficulties , caused to a large extent by the undermining of the theme system and the neglect of the military . Nikephoros II , John Tzimiskes , and Basil II changed the military divisions ( τάγματα , tagmata ) from a rapid response , primarily defensive , citizen army into a professional , campaigning army , increasingly manned by mercenaries . Mercenaries were expensive , however , and as the threat of invasion receded in the 10th century , so did the need for maintaining large garrisons and expensive fortifications . Basil II left a burgeoning treasury upon his death , but he neglected to plan for his succession . None of his immediate successors had any particular military or political talent and the administration of the Empire increasingly fell into the hands of the civil service . Efforts to revive the Byzantine economy only resulted in inflation and a debased gold coinage . The army was now seen as both an unnecessary expense and a political threat . Native troops were therefore cashiered and replaced by foreign mercenaries on specific contract . At the same time , the Empire was faced with new enemies . Provinces in southern Italy faced the Normans , who arrived in Italy at the beginning of the 11th century . During a period of strife between Constantinople and Rome culminating in the East - West Schism of 1054 , the Normans began to advance , slowly but steadily , into Byzantine Italy . Reggio , the capital of the tagma of Calabria , was captured in 1060 by Robert Guiscard , followed by Otranto in 1068 . Bari , the main Byzantine stronghold in Apulia , was besieged in August 1068 and fell in April 1071 . The Byzantines also lost their influence over the Dalmatian coastal cities to Peter Krešimir IV of Croatia ( r . 1058 -- 1074 / 1075 ) in 1069 . The seizure of Edessa ( 1031 ) by the Byzantines under George Maniakes and the counterattack by the Seljuk Turks The greatest disaster took place in Asia Minor , however , where the Seljuq Turks made their first explorations across the Byzantine frontier into Armenia in 1065 and 1067 . The emergency lent weight to the military aristocracy in Anatolia , who in 1068 secured the election of one of their own , Romanos Diogenes , as emperor . In the summer of 1071 , Romanos undertook a massive eastern campaign to draw the Seljuks into a general engagement with the Byzantine army . At the Battle of Manzikert , Romanos suffered a surprise defeat by Sultan Alp Arslan , and he was captured . Alp Arslan treated him with respect and imposed no harsh terms on the Byzantines . In Constantinople , however , a coup put in power Michael Doukas , who soon faced the opposition of Nikephoros Bryennios and Nikephoros Botaneiates . By 1081 , the Seljuks had expanded their rule over virtually the entire Anatolian plateau from Armenia in the east to Bithynia in the west , and they had founded their capital at Nicaea , just 90 kilometres ( 56 miles ) from Constantinople . Komnenian dynasty and the crusaders See also : Byzantine Empire under the Komnenos dynasty and Komnenian restoration Alexios I , founder of the Komnenos dynasty During the Komnenian , or Comnenian , period from about 1081 to about 1185 , the five emperors of the Komnenos dynasty ( Alexios I , John II , Manuel I , Alexios II , and Andronikos I ) presided over a sustained , though ultimately incomplete , restoration of the military , territorial , economic , and political position of the Byzantine Empire . Although the Seljuk Turks occupied the heartland of the Empire in Anatolia , most Byzantine military efforts during this period were directed against Western powers , particularly the Normans . The Empire under the Komnenoi played a key role in the history of the Crusades in the Holy Land , which Alexios I had helped bring about , while also exerting enormous cultural and political influence in Europe , the Near East , and the lands around the Mediterranean Sea under John and Manuel . Contact between Byzantium and the `` Latin '' West , including the Crusader states , increased significantly during the Komnenian period . Venetian and other Italian traders became resident in large numbers in Constantinople and the empire ( there were an estimated 60,000 Latins in Constantinople alone , out of a population of three to four hundred thousand ) , and their presence together with the numerous Latin mercenaries who were employed by Manuel helped to spread Byzantine technology , art , literature and culture throughout the Latin West , while also leading to a flow of Western ideas and customs into the Empire . In terms of prosperity and cultural life , the Komnenian period was one of the peaks in Byzantine history , and Constantinople remained the leading city of the Christian world in size , wealth , and culture . There was a renewed interest in classical Greek philosophy , as well as an increase in literary output in vernacular Greek . Byzantine art and literature held a pre-eminent place in Europe , and the cultural impact of Byzantine art on the west during this period was enormous and of long lasting significance . Alexios I and the first Crusade For more details on this topic , see Alexios I Komnenos . See also : First Crusade Province ( doukaton ) of the Byzantine Empire ca . 1045 . The Byzantine Empire and the Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm before the First Crusade After Manzikert , a partial recovery ( referred to as the Komnenian restoration ) was made possible by the Komnenian dynasty . The first Komnenian emperor was Isaac I ( 1057 -- 1059 ) , after which the Doukas dynasty held power ( 1059 -- 81 ) . The Komnenoi attained power again under Alexios I in 1081 . From the outset of his reign , Alexios faced a formidable attack by the Normans under Robert Guiscard and his son Bohemund of Taranto , who captured Dyrrhachium and Corfu , and laid siege to Larissa in Thessaly . Robert Guiscard 's death in 1085 temporarily eased the Norman problem . The following year , the Seljuq sultan died , and the sultanate was split by internal rivalries . By his own efforts , Alexios defeated the Pechenegs ; they were caught by surprise and annihilated at the Battle of Levounion on 28 April 1091 . Having achieved stability in the West , Alexios could turn his attention to the severe economic difficulties and the disintegration of the Empire 's traditional defences . However , he still did not have enough manpower to recover the lost territories in Asia Minor and to advance against the Seljuks . At the Council of Piacenza in 1095 , envoys from Alexios spoke to Pope Urban II about the suffering of the Christians of the East , and underscored that without help from the West they would continue to suffer under Muslim rule . Urban saw Alexios 's request as a dual opportunity to cement Western Europe and reunite the Eastern Orthodox Church with the Roman Catholic Church under his rule . On 27 November 1095 , Pope Urban II called together the Council of Clermont , and urged all those present to take up arms under the sign of the Cross and launch an armed pilgrimage to recover Jerusalem and the East from the Muslims . The response in Western Europe was overwhelming . The brief first coinage of the Thessaloniki mint , opened by Alexios in September 1081 , on his way to confront the invading Normans under Robert Guiscard Alexios had anticipated help in the form of mercenary forces from the West , but he was totally unprepared for the immense and undisciplined force that soon arrived in Byzantine territory . It was no comfort to Alexios to learn that four of the eight leaders of the main body of the Crusade were Normans , among them Bohemund . Since the crusade had to pass through Constantinople , however , the Emperor had some control over it . He required its leaders to swear to restore to the empire any towns or territories they might reconquer from the Turks on their way to the Holy Land . In return , he gave them guides and a military escort . Alexios was able to recover a number of important cities and islands , and in fact much of western Asia Minor . Nevertheless , the Catholic / Latin crusaders believed their oaths were invalidated when Alexios did not help them during the siege of Antioch ( he had in fact set out on the road to Antioch but had been persuaded to turn back by Stephen of Blois , who assured him that all was lost and that the expedition had already failed ) . Bohemund , who had set himself up as Prince of Antioch , briefly went to war with the Byzantines , but he agreed to become Alexios ' vassal under the Treaty of Devol in 1108 , which marked the end of the Norman threat during Alexios ' reign . John II , Manuel I and the second Crusade Main articles : John II Komnenos and Manuel I Komnenos Medieval manuscript depicting the Capture of Jerusalem during the First Crusade Alexios 's son John II Komnenos succeeded him in 1118 and ruled until 1143 . John was a pious and dedicated Emperor who was determined to undo the damage to the empire suffered at the Battle of Manzikert , half a century earlier . Famed for his piety and his remarkably mild and just reign , John was an exceptional example of a moral ruler at a time when cruelty was the norm . For this reason , he has been called the Byzantine Marcus Aurelius . During his twenty - five year reign , John made alliances with the Holy Roman Empire in the West and decisively defeated the Pechenegs at the Battle of Beroia . He thwarted Hungarian and Serbian threats during the 1120s , and in 1130 he allied himself with the German emperor Lothair III against the Norman king Roger II of Sicily . In the later part of his reign , John focused his activities on the East , personally leading numerous campaigns against the Turks in Asia Minor . His campaigns fundamentally altered the balance of power in the East , forcing the Turks onto the defensive , while restoring many towns , fortresses , and cities across the peninsula to the Byzantines . He defeated the Danishmend Emirate of Melitene and reconquered all of Cilicia , while forcing Raymond of Poitiers , Prince of Antioch , to recognise Byzantine suzerainty . In an effort to demonstrate the Emperor 's role as the leader of the Christian world , John marched into the Holy Land at the head of the combined forces of the Empire and the Crusader states ; yet despite his great vigour pressing the campaign , his hopes were disappointed by the treachery of his Crusader allies . In 1142 , John returned to press his claims to Antioch , but he died in the spring of 1143 following a hunting accident . Raymond was emboldened to invade Cilicia , but he was defeated and forced to go to Constantinople to beg mercy from the new Emperor . Byzantine Empire in orange , c. 1180 , at the end of the Komnenian period John 's chosen heir was his fourth son , Manuel I Komnenos , who campaigned aggressively against his neighbours both in the west and in the east . In Palestine , Manuel allied with the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem and sent a large fleet to participate in a combined invasion of Fatimid Egypt . Manuel reinforced his position as overlord of the Crusader states , with his hegemony over Antioch and Jerusalem secured by agreement with Raynald , Prince of Antioch , and Amalric , King of Jerusalem . In an effort to restore Byzantine control over the ports of southern Italy , he sent an expedition to Italy in 1155 , but disputes within the coalition led to the eventual failure of the campaign . Despite this military setback , Manuel 's armies successfully invaded the Southern parts of Kingdom of Hungary in 1167 , defeating the Hungarians at the Battle of Sirmium . By 1168 , nearly the whole of the eastern Adriatic coast lay in Manuel 's hands . Manuel made several alliances with the Pope and Western Christian kingdoms , and he successfully handled the passage of the Second Crusade through his empire . In the east , however , Manuel suffered a major defeat in 1176 at the Battle of Myriokephalon , against the Turks . Yet the losses were quickly recovered , and in the following year Manuel 's forces inflicted a defeat upon a force of `` picked Turks '' . The Byzantine commander John Vatatzes , who destroyed the Turkish invaders at the Battle of Hyelion and Leimocheir , not only brought troops from the capital but also was able to gather an army along the way , a sign that the Byzantine army remained strong and that the defensive program of western Asia Minor was still successful . 12th - century Renaissance For more details on this topic , see Byzantine civilisation in the 12th century . See also : Komnenian Byzantine army ' The Lamentation of Christ ' ( 1164 ) , a fresco from the church of Saint Panteleimon in Nerezi near Skopje ; it is considered a superb example of 12th - century Komnenian art John and Manuel pursued active military policies , and both deployed considerable resources on sieges and on city defences ; aggressive fortification policies were at the heart of their imperial military policies . Despite the defeat at Myriokephalon , the policies of Alexios , John and Manuel resulted in vast territorial gains , increased frontier stability in Asia Minor , and secured the stabilisation of the Empire 's European frontiers . From c. 1081 to c. 1180 , the Komnenian army assured the Empire 's security , enabling Byzantine civilisation to flourish . This allowed the Western provinces to achieve an economic revival that continued until the close of the century . It has been argued that Byzantium under the Komnenian rule was more prosperous than at any time since the Persian invasions of the 7th century . During the 12th century , population levels rose and extensive tracts of new agricultural land were brought into production . Archaeological evidence from both Europe and Asia Minor shows a considerable increase in the size of urban settlements , together with a notable upsurge in new towns . Trade was also flourishing ; the Venetians , the Genoese and others opened up the ports of the Aegean to commerce , shipping goods from the Crusader kingdoms of Outremer and Fatimid Egypt to the west and trading with the Empire via Constantinople . In artistic terms , there was a revival in mosaic , and regional schools of architecture began producing many distinctive styles that drew on a range of cultural influences . During the 12th century , the Byzantines provided their model of early humanism as a renaissance of interest in classical authors . In Eustathius of Thessalonica , Byzantine humanism found its most characteristic expression . In philosophy , there was resurgence of classical learning not seen since the 7th century , characterised by a significant increase in the publication of commentaries on classical works . In addition , the first transmission of classical Greek knowledge to the West occurred during the Komnenian period . Decline and disintegration Main article : Decline of the Byzantine Empire Angelid dynasty Main article : Byzantine Empire under the Angelos dynasty Byzantium in the late Angeloi period Manuel 's death on 24 September 1180 left his 11 - year - old son Alexios II Komnenos on the throne . Alexios was highly incompetent at the office , but it was his mother , Maria of Antioch , and her Frankish background that made his regency unpopular . Eventually , Andronikos I Komnenos , a grandson of Alexios I , launched a revolt against his younger relative and managed to overthrow him in a violent coup d'état . Utilizing his good looks and his immense popularity with the army , he marched on to Constantinople in August 1182 and incited a massacre of the Latins . After eliminating his potential rivals , he had himself crowned as co-emperor in September 1183 . He eliminated Alexios II , and took his 12 - year - old wife Agnes of France for himself . Andronikos began his reign well ; in particular , the measures he took to reform the government of the Empire have been praised by historians . According to George Ostrogorsky , Andronikos was determined to root out corruption : Under his rule , the sale of offices ceased ; selection was based on merit , rather than favouritism ; officials were paid an adequate salary so as to reduce the temptation of bribery . In the provinces , Andronikos 's reforms produced a speedy and marked improvement . The aristocrats were infuriated against him , and to make matters worse , Andronikos seems to have become increasingly unbalanced ; executions and violence became increasingly common , and his reign turned into a reign of terror . Andronikos seemed almost to seek the extermination of the aristocracy as a whole . The struggle against the aristocracy turned into wholesale slaughter , while the Emperor resorted to ever more ruthless measures to shore up his regime . Despite his military background , Andronikos failed to deal with Isaac Komnenos , Béla III of Hungary ( r . 1172 -- 1196 ) who reincorporated Croatian territories into Hungary , and Stephen Nemanja of Serbia ( r . 1166 -- 1196 ) who declared his independence from the Byzantine Empire . Yet , none of these troubles would compare to William II of Sicily 's ( r . 1166 -- 1189 ) invasion force of 300 ships and 80,000 men , arriving in 1185 . Andronikos mobilised a small fleet of 100 ships to defend the capital , but other than that he was indifferent to the populace . He was finally overthrown when Isaac Angelos , surviving an imperial assassination attempt , seized power with the aid of the people and had Andronikos killed . The reign of Isaac II , and more so that of his brother Alexios III , saw the collapse of what remained of the centralised machinery of Byzantine government and defence . Although the Normans were driven out of Greece , in 1186 the Vlachs and Bulgars began a rebellion that led to the formation of the Second Bulgarian Empire . The internal policy of the Angeloi was characterised by the squandering of the public treasure and fiscal maladministration . Imperial authority was severely weakened , and the growing power vacuum at the center of the Empire encouraged fragmentation . There is evidence that some Komnenian heirs had set up a semi-independent state in Trebizond before 1204 . According to Alexander Vasiliev , `` the dynasty of the Angeloi , Greek in its origin , ... accelerated the ruin of the Empire , already weakened without and disunited within . '' Fourth Crusade For more details on this topic , see Fourth Crusade . The Entry of the Crusaders into Constantinople , by Eugène Delacroix ( 1840 ) . In 1198 , Pope Innocent III broached the subject of a new crusade through legates and encyclical letters . The stated intent of the crusade was to conquer Egypt , now the centre of Muslim power in the Levant . The crusader army that arrived at Venice in the summer of 1202 was somewhat smaller than had been anticipated , and there were not sufficient funds to pay the Venetians , whose fleet was hired by the crusaders to take them to Egypt . Venetian policy under the ageing and blind but still ambitious Doge Enrico Dandolo was potentially at variance with that of the Pope and the crusaders , because Venice was closely related commercially with Egypt . The crusaders accepted the suggestion that in lieu of payment they assist the Venetians in the capture of the ( Christian ) port of Zara in Dalmatia ( vassal city of Venice , which had rebelled and placed itself under Hungary 's protection in 1186 ) . The city fell in November 1202 after a brief siege . Innocent tried to forbid this political attack on a Christian city , but was ignored . Reluctant to jeopardise his own agenda for the Crusade , he gave conditional absolution to the crusaders -- not , however , to the Venetians . After the death of Theobald III , Count of Champagne , the leadership of the Crusade passed to Boniface of Montferrat , a friend of the Hohenstaufen Philip of Swabia . Both Boniface and Philip had married into the Byzantine Imperial family . In fact , Philip 's brother - in - law , Alexios Angelos , son of the deposed and blinded Emperor Isaac II Angelos , had appeared in Europe seeking aid and had made contacts with the crusaders . Alexios offered to reunite the Byzantine church with Rome , pay the crusaders 200,000 silver marks , join the crusade and provide all the supplies they needed to get to Egypt . Innocent was aware of a plan to divert the Crusade to Constantinople and forbade any attack on the city , but the papal letter arrived after the fleets had left Zara .

The crusaders arrived at Constantinople in the summer of 1203 and quickly attacked , started a major fire that damaged large parts of the city , and briefly seized control . Alexios III fled from the capital , and Alexios Angelos was elevated to the throne as Alexios IV along with his blind father Isaac . However , Alexios IV and Isaac II were unable to keep their promises and were deposed by Alexios V . The crusaders again took the city on 13 April 1204 , and Constantinople was subjected to pillage and massacre by the rank and file for three days . Many priceless icons , relics , and other objects later turned up in Western Europe , a large number in Venice . According to Choniates , a prostitute was even set up on the Patriarchal throne . When Innocent III heard of the conduct of his crusaders , he castigated them in no uncertain terms . But the situation was beyond his control , especially after his legate , on his own initiative , had absolved the crusaders from their vow to proceed to the Holy Land . When order had been restored , the crusaders and the Venetians proceeded to implement their agreement ; Baldwin of Flanders was elected Emperor of a new Latin Empire , and the Venetian Thomas Morosini was chosen as Patriarch . The lands divided up among the leaders included most of the former Byzantine possessions , though resistance would continue through the Byzantine remnants of the Nicaea , Trebizond , and Epirus . Although Venice was more interested in commerce than conquering territory , it took key areas of Constantinople , and the Doge took the title of `` Lord of a Quarter and Half a Quarter of the Roman Empire '' . Fall Empire in exile For more details on this topic , see Latinokratia . After the sack of Constantinople in 1204 by Latin crusaders , two Byzantine successor states were established : the Empire of Nicaea , and the Despotate of Epirus . A third , the Empire of Trebizond , was created by Alexios I of Trebizond a few weeks before the sack of Constantinople . Of the three successor states , Epirus and Nicaea stood the best chance of reclaiming Constantinople . The Nicaean Empire struggled to survive the next few decades , however , and by the mid-13th century it had lost much of southern Anatolia . The weakening of the Sultanate of Rûm following the Mongol invasion in 1242 -- 43 allowed many beyliks and ghazis to set up their own principalities in Anatolia , weakening the Byzantine hold on Asia Minor . In time , one of the Beys , Osman I , created an empire that would eventually conquer Constantinople . However , the Mongol invasion also gave Nicaea a temporary respite from Seljuk attacks , allowing it to concentrate on the Latin Empire to its north . Reconquest of Constantinople Main article : Byzantine Empire under the Palaiologos dynasty The Byzantine Empire c. 1263 . The Empire of Nicaea , founded by the Laskarid dynasty , managed to reclaim Constantinople from the Latins in 1261 and defeat Epirus . This led to a short - lived revival of Byzantine fortunes under Michael VIII Palaiologos , but the war - ravaged Empire was ill - equipped to deal with the enemies that now surrounded it . To maintain his campaigns against the Latins , Michael pulled troops from Asia Minor and levied crippling taxes on the peasantry , causing much resentment . Massive construction projects were completed in Constantinople to repair the damage of the Fourth Crusade , but none of these initiatives was of any comfort to the farmers in Asia Minor suffering raids from Muslim ghazis . Rather than holding on to his possessions in Asia Minor , Michael chose to expand the Empire , gaining only short - term success . To avoid another sacking of the capital by the Latins , he forced the Church to submit to Rome , again a temporary solution for which the peasantry hated Michael and Constantinople . The efforts of Andronikos II and later his grandson Andronikos III marked Byzantium 's last genuine attempts in restoring the glory of the Empire . However , the use of mercenaries by Andronikos II would often backfire , with the Catalan Company ravaging the countryside and increasing resentment towards Constantinople . Rise of the Ottomans and fall of Constantinople Main articles : Byzantine -- Ottoman Wars and Fall of Constantinople The siege of Constantinople in 1453 , depicted in a 15th - century French miniature . The situation became worse for Byzantium during the civil wars after Andronikos III died . A six - year - long civil war devastated the empire , allowing the Serbian ruler Stefan Dušan ( r . 1331 -- 1346 ) to overrun most of the Empire 's remaining territory and establish a Serbian Empire . In 1354 , an earthquake at Gallipoli devastated the fort , allowing the Ottomans ( who were hired as mercenaries during the civil war by John VI Kantakouzenos ) to establish themselves in Europe . By the time the Byzantine civil wars had ended , the Ottomans had defeated the Serbians and subjugated them as vassals . Following the Battle of Kosovo , much of the Balkans became dominated by the Ottomans . The Byzantine emperors appealed to the West for help , but the Pope would only consider sending aid in return for a reunion of the Eastern Orthodox Church with the See of Rome . Church unity was considered , and occasionally accomplished by imperial decree , but the Orthodox citizenry and clergy intensely resented the authority of Rome and the Latin Rite . Some Western troops arrived to bolster the Christian defence of Constantinople , but most Western rulers , distracted by their own affairs , did nothing as the Ottomans picked apart the remaining Byzantine territories . Constantinople by this stage was underpopulated and dilapidated . The population of the city had collapsed so severely that it was now little more than a cluster of villages separated by fields . On 2 April 1453 , Sultan Mehmed 's army of 80,000 men and large numbers of irregulars laid siege to the city . Despite a desperate last - ditch defence of the city by the massively outnumbered Christian forces ( c. 7,000 men , 2,000 of whom were foreign ) , Constantinople finally fell to the Ottomans after a two - month siege on 29 May 1453 . The last Byzantine emperor , Constantine XI Palaiologos , was last seen casting off his imperial regalia and throwing himself into hand - to - hand combat after the walls of the city were taken . Political aftermath The Eastern Mediterranean just before the fall of Constantinople By the time of the fall of Constantinople , the only remaining territory of the Byzantine Empire was the Despotate of the Morea ( Peloponnese ) , which was ruled by brothers of the last Emperor , Thomas Palaiologos and Demetrios Palaiologos . The Despotate continued on as an independent state by paying an annual tribute to the Ottomans . Incompetent rule , failure to pay the annual tribute and a revolt against the Ottomans finally led to Mehmed II 's invasion of Morea in May 1460 . Demetrios asked the Ottomans to invade and drive Thomas out . Thomas fled . The Ottomans moved through the Morea and conquered virtually the entire Despotate by the summer . Demetrios thought the Morea would be restored to him to rule , but it was incorporated into the Ottoman fold . A few holdouts remained for a time . The island of Monemvasia refused to surrender and it was first ruled for a short time by an Aragonese corsair . When the population drove him out they obtained the consent of Thomas to place themselves under the Pope 's protection before the end of 1460 . The Mani Peninsula , on the Morea 's south end , resisted under a loose coalition of the local clans and then that area came under Venice 's rule . The very last holdout was Salmeniko , in the Morea 's northwest . Graitzas Palaiologos was the military commander there , stationed at Salmeniko Castle . While the town eventually surrendered , Graitzas and his garrison and some town residents held out in the castle until July 1461 , when they escaped and reached Venetian territory .

The Empire of Trebizond , which had split away from the Byzantine Empire just weeks before Constantinople was taken by the Crusaders in 1204 , became the last remnant and last de facto successor state to the Byzantine Empire . Efforts by the Emperor David to recruit European powers for an anti-Ottoman crusade provoked war between the Ottomans and Trebizond in the summer of 1461 . After a month - long siege , David surrendered the city of Trebizond on 14 August 1461 . The Empire of Trebizond 's Crimean principality , the Principality of Theodoro ( part of the Perateia ) , lasted another 14 years , falling to the Ottomans in December 1475 . A nephew of the last Emperor , Constantine XI , Andreas Palaiologos claimed to have inherited the title of Byzantine Emperor . He lived in the Morea until its fall in 1460 , then escaped to Rome where he lived under the protection of the Papal States for the remainder of his life . Since the office of emperor had never been technically hereditary , Andreas ' claim would have been without merit under Byzantine law . However , the Empire had vanished , and Western states generally followed the Roman - church - sanctioned principles of hereditary sovereignty . Seeking a life in the west , Andreas styled himself Imperator Constantinopolitanus ( `` Emperor of Constantinople '' ) , and sold his succession rights to both Charles VIII of France and the Catholic Monarchs . Constantine XI died without producing an heir , and had Constantinople not fallen he might have been succeeded by the sons of his deceased elder brother , who were taken into the palace service of Mehmed II after the fall of Constantinople . The oldest boy , re-christened as Has Murad , became a personal favorite of Mehmed and served as Beylerbey ( Governor - General ) of the Balkans . The younger son , renamed Mesih Pasha , became Admiral of the Ottoman fleet and Sancak Beg ( Governor ) of the Province of Gallipoli . He eventually served twice as Grand Vizier under Mehmed 's son , Bayezid II . Mehmed II and his successors continued to consider themselves heirs to the Roman Empire until the demise of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century following World War 1 . They considered that they had simply shifted its religious basis as Constantine had done before , and they continued to refer to their conquered Eastern Roman inhabitants ( Orthodox Christians ) as Rûm . Meanwhile , the Danubian Principalities ( whose rulers also considered themselves the heirs of the Eastern Roman Emperors ) harboured Orthodox refugees , including some Byzantine nobles . At his death , the role of the emperor as a patron of Eastern Orthodoxy was claimed by Ivan III , Grand duke of Muscovy . He had married Andreas ' sister , Sophia Paleologue , whose grandson , Ivan IV , would become the first Tsar of Russia ( tsar , or czar , meaning caesar , is a term traditionally applied by Slavs to the Byzantine Emperors ) . Their successors supported the idea that Moscow was the proper heir to Rome and Constantinople . The idea of the Russian Empire as the successive Third Rome was kept alive until its demise with the Russian Revolution .

Further information : Sino - Roman relations A bronze coin of Constantius II ( 337 -- 361 ) , found in Karghalik , Xinjiang , China Byzantine culture Aristocracy and bureaucracy Army Art Architecture Calendar Coinage Cuisine Dance Diplomacy Dress Economy Gardens Law Literature Medicine Music Navy People Science The Byzantine economy was among the most advanced in Europe and the Mediterranean for many centuries . Europe , in particular , could not match Byzantine economic strength until late in the Middle Ages . Constantinople operated as a prime hub in a trading network that at various times extended across nearly all of Eurasia and North Africa , in particular as the primary western terminus of the famous Silk Road . Until the first half of the 6th century and in sharp contrast with the decaying West , the Byzantine economy was flourishing and resilient . The Plague of Justinian and the Arab conquests would represent a substantial reversal of fortunes contributing to a period of stagnation and decline . Isaurian reforms and , in particular , Constantine V 's repopulation , public works and tax measures , marked the beginning of a revival that continued until 1204 , despite territorial contraction . From the 10th century until the end of the 12th , the Byzantine Empire projected an image of luxury and travellers were impressed by the wealth accumulated in the capital . The Fourth Crusade resulted in the disruption of Byzantine manufacturing and the commercial dominance of the Western Europeans in the eastern Mediterranean , events that amounted to an economic catastrophe for the Empire . The Palaiologoi tried to revive the economy , but the late Byzantine state would not gain full control of either the foreign or domestic economic forces . Gradually , it also lost its influence on the modalities of trade and the price mechanisms , and its control over the outflow of precious metals and , according to some scholars , even over the minting of coins . One of the economic foundations of Byzantium was trade , fostered by the maritime character of the Empire . Textiles must have been by far the most important item of export ; silks were certainly imported into Egypt , and appeared also in Bulgaria , and the West . The state strictly controlled both the internal and the international trade , and retained the monopoly of issuing coinage , maintaining a durable and flexible monetary system adaptable to trade needs . The government attempted to exercise formal control over interest rates , and set the parameters for the activity of the guilds and corporations , in which it had a special interest . The emperor and his officials intervened at times of crisis to ensure the provisioning of the capital , and to keep down the price of cereals . Finally , the government often collected part of the surplus through taxation , and put it back into circulation , through redistribution in the form of salaries to state officials , or in the form of investment in public works .

The influence of Archimedes ' principles of solid geometry is evident . The frontispiece of the Vienna Dioscurides , which shows a set of seven famous physicians The writings of Classical antiquity were cultivated and extended in Byzantium . Therefore , Byzantine science was in every period closely connected with ancient philosophy , and metaphysics . In the field of engineering Isidore of Miletus , the Greek mathematician and architect of the Hagia Sophia , produced the first compilation of Archimedes ' works c. 530 , and it is through this manuscript tradition , kept alive by the school of mathematics and engineering founded c. 850 during the `` Byzantine Renaissance '' by Leo the Geometer , that such works are known today ( see Archimedes Palimpsest ) . Indeed , geometry and its applications ( architecture and engineering instruments of war ) remained a specialty of the Byzantines . In medicine the works of Byzantine doctors , such as the Vienna Dioscorides ( 6th century ) , and works of Paul of Aegina ( 7th century ) and Nicholas Myrepsos ( late 13th century ) , continued to be used as the authoritative texts by Europeans through the Renaissance , and several technological advancements , including the pendentive dome and Greek Fire , are attributed to the Byzantines . Although at various times the Byzantines made magnificent achievements in the application of the sciences , and are responsible for preserving much of ancient knowledge , some authors have argued that Byzantine scholars made few novel contributions to science in terms of developing new theories or extending the ideas of classical authors . In the final century of the Empire , refugee Byzantine scholars were principally responsible for carrying , in person and in writing , ancient Greek grammatical , literary studies , mathematical , and astronomical knowledge to early Renaissance Italy . During this period , astronomy and other mathematical sciences were taught in Trebizond ; medicine attracted the interest of almost all scholars . In the field of law , Justinian I 's reforms had a clear effect on the evolution of jurisprudence , with his Corpus Juris Civilis becoming the basis for revived Roman law in the West , while Leo III 's Ecloga influenced the formation of legal institutions in the Slavic world . In the 10th century , Leo VI the Wise achieved the complete codification of the whole of Byzantine law in Greek with the Basilika , which became the foundation of all subsequent Byzantine law with an influence extending through to modern Balkan legal codes . Religion Main articles : State church of the Roman Empire and Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople As a symbol and expression of the universal prestige of the Patriarchate of Constantinople , Justinian built the Church of the Holy Wisdom of God , Hagia Sophia , which was completed in the short period of four and a half years ( 532 -- 537 ) A mosaic from the Hagia Sophia of Constantinople ( modern Istanbul ) , depicting Mary and Jesus , flanked by John II Komnenos ( left ) and his wife Irene of Hungary ( right ) , 12th century The Byzantine Empire was a theocracy , said to be ruled by God working through the Emperor . Jennifer Fretland VanVoorst argues , `` The Byzantine Empire became a theocracy in the sense that Christian values and ideals were the foundation of the empire 's political ideals and heavily entwined with its political goals . '' Steven Runciman says in his book on The Byzantine Theocracy ( 2004 ) : The constitution of the Byzantine Empire was based on the conviction that it was the earthly copy of the Kingdom of Heaven . Just as God ruled in Heaven , so the Emperor , made in his image , should rule on earth and carry out his commandments ... It saw itself as a universal empire . Ideally , it should embrace all the peoples of the Earth who , ideally , should all be members of the one true Christian Church , its own Orthodox Church . Just as man was made in God 's image , so man 's kingdom on Earth was made in the image of the Kingdom of Heaven . '' The survival of the Empire in the East assured an active role of the Emperor in the affairs of the Church . The Byzantine state inherited from pagan times the administrative , and financial routine of administering religious affairs , and this routine was applied to the Christian Church . Following the pattern set by Eusebius of Caesarea , the Byzantines viewed the Emperor as a representative or messenger of Christ , responsible particularly for the propagation of Christianity among pagans , and for the `` externals '' of the religion , such as administration and finances . As Cyril Mango points out , the Byzantine political thinking can be summarised in the motto `` One God , one empire , one religion '' . The imperial role in the affairs of the Church never developed into a fixed , legally defined system . With the decline of Rome , and internal dissension in the other Eastern Patriarchates , the Church of Constantinople became , between the 6th and 11th centuries , the richest and most influential center of Christendom . Even when the Empire was reduced to only a shadow of its former self , the Church continued to exercise significant influence both inside and outside of the imperial frontiers . As George Ostrogorsky points out : The Patriarchate of Constantinople remained the center of the Orthodox world , with subordinate metropolitan sees and archbishoprics in the territory of Asia Minor and the Balkans , now lost to Byzantium , as well as in Caucasus , Russia and Lithuania . The Church remained the most stable element in the Byzantine Empire . The official state Christian doctrine was determined by the first seven ecumenical councils , and it was then the emperor 's duty to impose it to his subjects . An imperial decree of 388 , which was later incorporated into the Codex Justinianus , orders the population of the Empire `` to assume the name of Catholic Christians '' , and regards all those who will not abide by the law as `` mad and foolish persons '' ; as followers of `` heretical dogmas '' . Despite imperial decrees and the stringent stance of the state church itself , which came to be known as the Eastern Orthodox Church or Eastern Christianity , the latter never represented all Christians in Byzantium . Mango believes that , in the early stages of the Empire , the `` mad and foolish persons '' , those labelled `` heretics '' by the state church , were the majority of the population . Besides the pagans , who existed until the end of the 6th century , and the Jews , there were many followers -- sometimes even emperors -- of various Christian doctrines , such as Nestorianism , Monophysitism , Arianism , and Paulicianism , whose teachings were in some opposition to the main theological doctrine , as determined by the Ecumenical Councils . Another division among Christians occurred , when Leo III ordered the destruction of icons throughout the Empire . This led to a significant religious crisis , which ended in mid-9th century with the restoration of icons . During the same period , a new wave of pagans emerged in the Balkans , originating mainly from Slavic people . These were gradually Christianised , and by Byzantium 's late stages , Eastern Orthodoxy represented most Christians and , in general , most people in what remained of the Empire . Jews were a significant minority in the Byzantine state throughout its history , and , according to Roman law , they constituted a legally recognised religious group . In the early Byzantine period they were generally tolerated , but then periods of tensions and persecutions ensued . In any case , after the Arab conquests , the majority of Jews found themselves outside the Empire ; those left inside the Byzantine borders apparently lived in relative peace from the 10th century onwards . Georgian monasteries first appear in Constantinople and on Mount Olympos in northwestern Asia Minor in the second half of the ninth century , and from then on Georgians played an increasingly important role in the Empire . Art and literature Main articles : Byzantine art and Byzantine literature See also : Byzantine dress Miniatures of the 6th - century Rabula Gospel display the more abstract and symbolic nature of Byzantine art . Surviving Byzantine art is mostly religious and with exceptions at certain periods is highly conventionalised , following traditional models that translate carefully controlled church theology into artistic terms . Painting in fresco , illuminated manuscripts and on wood panel and , especially in earlier periods , mosaic were the main media , and figurative sculpture very rare except for small carved ivories . Manuscript painting preserved to the end some of the classical realist tradition that was missing in larger works . Byzantine art was highly prestigious and sought - after in Western Europe , where it maintained a continuous influence on medieval art until near the end of the period . This was especially so in Italy , where Byzantine styles persisted in modified form through the 12th century , and became formative influences on Italian Renaissance art . But few incoming influences affected Byzantine style . By means of the expansion of the Eastern Orthodox church , Byzantine forms and styles spread to all the Orthodox world and beyond . Influences from Byzantine architecture , particularly in religious buildings , can be found in diverse regions from Egypt and Arabia to Russia and Romania . In Byzantine literature , four different cultural elements are recognised : the Greek , the Christian , the Roman , and the Oriental . Byzantine literature is often classified in five groups : historians and annalists , encyclopaedists ( Patriarch Photios , Michael Psellus , and Michael Choniates are regarded as the greatest encyclopaedists of Byzantium ) and essayists , and writers of secular poetry . The only genuine heroic epic of the Byzantines is the Digenis Acritas . The remaining two groups include the new literary species : ecclesiastical and theological literature , and popular poetry . Of the approximately two to three thousand volumes of Byzantine literature that survive , only 330 consist of secular poetry , history , science and pseudo-science . While the most flourishing period of the secular literature of Byzantium runs from the 9th to the 12th century , its religious literature ( sermons , liturgical books and poetry , theology , devotional treatises , etc . ) developed much earlier with Romanos the Melodist being its most prominent representative . Music Main article : Byzantine music Late 4th century AD `` Mosaic of the Musicians '' with organ , aulos , and lyre from a Byzantine villa in Maryamin , Syria . The ecclesiastical forms of Byzantine music , composed to Greek texts as ceremonial , festival , or church music , are , today , the most well - known forms . Ecclesiastical chants were a fundamental part of this genre . Greek and foreign historians agree that the ecclesiastical tones and in general the whole system of Byzantine music is closely related to the ancient Greek system . It remains the oldest genre of extant music , of which the manner of performance and ( with increasing accuracy from the 5th century onwards ) the names of the composers , and sometimes the particulars of each musical work 's circumstances , are known . Earliest known depiction of a bowed lyra , from a Byzantine ivory casket ( 900 -- 1100 AD ) . ( Museo Nazionale , Florence ) The 9th century Persian geographer Ibn Khurradadhbih ( d . 911 ) ; in his lexicographical discussion of instruments cited the lyra ( lūrā ) as the typical instrument of the Byzantines along with the urghun ( organ ) , shilyani ( probably a type of harp or lyre ) and the salandj ( probably a bagpipe ) . The first of these , the early bowed stringed instrument known as the Byzantine lyra , would come to be called the lira da braccio , in Venice , where it is considered by many to have been the predecessor of the contemporary violin , which later flourished there . The bowed `` lyra '' is still played in former Byzantine regions , where it is known as the Politiki lyra ( lit . `` lyra of the City '' i.e. Constantinople ) in Greece , the Calabrian lira in Southern Italy , and the Lijerica in Dalmatia . The second instrument , the organ , originated in the Hellenistic world ( see Hydraulis ) and was used in the Hippodrome during races . A pipe organ with `` great leaden pipes '' was sent by the emperor Constantine V to Pepin the Short , King of the Franks in 757 . Pepin 's son Charlemagne requested a similar organ for his chapel in Aachen in 812 , beginning its establishment in Western church music . The final Byzantine instrument , the aulos was a double reeded woodwind like the modern oboe or Armenian duduk . Other forms include the plagiaulos ( πλαγίαυλος , from πλάγιος `` sideways '' ) , which resembled the flute , and the askaulos ( ἀσκός askos -- wine - skin ) , a bagpipe . These bagpipes , also known as Dankiyo ( from ancient Greek : angion ( Τὸ ἀγγεῖον ) `` the container '' ) , had been played even in Roman times . Dio Chrysostom wrote in the 1st century of a contemporary sovereign ( possibly Nero ) who could play a pipe ( tibia , Roman reedpipes similar to Greek aulos ) with his mouth as well as by tucking a bladder beneath his armpit . The bagpipes continued to be played throughout the empire 's former realms through to the present . ( See Balkan Gaida , Greek Tsampouna , Pontic Tulum , Cretan Askomandoura , Armenian Parkapzuk , and Romanian Cimpoi . ) Cuisine Constantinople apple quinces See also : Byzantine cuisine The Byzantine culture was , initially , the same as Late Greco - Roman , but over the following millennium of the empire 's existence it slowly changed into something more similar to modern Balkan and Anatolian culture . The cuisine still relied heavily on the Greco - Roman fish - sauce condiment garos , but it also contained foods still familiar today , such as the cured meat pastirma ( known as `` paston '' in Byzantine Greek ) , baklava ( known as koptoplakous κοπτοπλακοῦς ) , tiropita ( known as plakountas tetyromenous or tyritas plakountas ) , and the famed medieval sweet wines ( Commandaria and the eponymous Rumney wine ) . Retsina , wine flavored with pine resin , was also drunk , as it still is in Greece today , producing similar reactions from unfamiliar visitors ; `` To add to our calamity the Greek wine , on account of being mixed with pitch , resin , and plaster was to us undrinkable , '' complained Liutprand of Cremona , who was the ambassador sent to Constantinople in 968 by the German Holy Roman Emperor Otto I . The garos fish sauce condiment was also not much appreciated by the unaccustomed ; Liutprand of Cremona described being served food covered in an `` exceedingly bad fish liquor . '' The Byzantines also used a soy sauce like condiment , murri , a fermented barley sauce , which , like soy sauce , provided umami flavoring to their dishes . Recreation A game of τάβλι ( tabula ) played by Byzantine emperor Zeno in 480 and recorded by Agathias in c. 530 because of a very unlucky dice throw for Zeno ( red ) , as he threw 2 , 5 and 6 and was forced to leave eight pieces alone . Byzantines were avid players of tavli ( Byzantine Greek : τάβλη ) , a game known in English as backgammon , which is still popular in former Byzantine realms , and still known by the name tavli in Greece . Byzantine nobles were devoted to horsemanship , particularly tzykanion , now known as polo . The game came from Sassanid Persia in the early period and a Tzykanisterion ( stadium for playing the game ) was built by Theodosius II ( r . 408 -- 450 ) inside the Great Palace of Constantinople . Emperor Basil I ( r . 867 -- 886 ) excelled at it ; Emperor Alexander ( r . 912 -- 913 ) died from exhaustion while playing , Emperor Alexios I Komnenos ( r . 1081 -- 1118 ) was injured while playing with Tatikios , and John I of Trebizond ( r . 1235 -- 1238 ) died from a fatal injury during a game . Aside from Constantinople and Trebizond , other Byzantine cities also featured tzykanisteria , most notably Sparta , Ephesus , and Athens , an indication of a thriving urban aristocracy . The game was introduced to the West by crusaders , who developed a taste for it particularly during the pro-Western reign of emperor Manuel I Komnenos . Government and bureaucracy See also : Byzantine bureaucracy In the Byzantine state , the emperor was the sole and absolute ruler , and his power was regarded as having divine origin . The Senate had ceased to have real political and legislative authority but remained as an honorary council with titular members . By the end of the 8th century , a civil administration focused on the court was formed as part of a large - scale consolidation of power in the capital ( the rise to pre-eminence of the position of sakellarios is related to this change ) . The most important administrative reform , which probably started in the mid-7th century , was the creation of themes , where civil and military administration was exercised by one person , the strategos . The themes , c. 750 The themes , c. 950 Despite the occasionally derogatory use of the terms `` Byzantine '' and `` Byzantinism '' , the Byzantine bureaucracy had a distinct ability for reconstituting itself in accordance with the Empire 's situation . The elaborate system of titulature and precedence gave the court prestige and influence . Officials were arranged in strict order around the emperor , and depended upon the imperial will for their ranks . There were also actual administrative jobs , but authority could be vested in individuals rather than offices . In the 8th and 9th centuries , civil service constituted the clearest path to aristocratic status , but , starting in the 9th century , the civil aristocracy was rivalled by an aristocracy of nobility . According to some studies of Byzantine government , 11th - century politics were dominated by competition between the civil and the military aristocracy . During this period , Alexios I undertook important administrative reforms , including the creation of new courtly dignities and offices . Diplomacy For more details on this topic , see Byzantine diplomacy . The embassy of John the Grammarian in 829 , between the emperor Theophilos and the Abbasid caliph Al - Ma'mun After the fall of Rome , the key challenge to the Empire was to maintain a set of relations between itself and its neighbours . When these nations set about forging formal political institutions , they often modelled themselves on Constantinople . Byzantine diplomacy soon managed to draw its neighbours into a network of international and inter-state relations . This network revolved around treaty making , and included the welcoming of the new ruler into the family of kings , and the assimilation of Byzantine social attitudes , values and institutions . Whereas classical writers are fond of making ethical and legal distinctions between peace and war , Byzantines regarded diplomacy as a form of war by other means . For example , a Bulgarian threat could be countered by providing money to the Kievan Rus ' . Diplomacy in the era was understood to have an intelligence - gathering function on top of its pure political function . The Bureau of Barbarians in Constantinople handled matters of protocol and record keeping for any issues related to the `` barbarians '' , and thus had , perhaps , a basic intelligence function itself . John B. Bury believed that the office exercised supervision over all foreigners visiting Constantinople , and that they were under the supervision of the Logothetes tou dromou . While on the surface a protocol office -- its main duty was to ensure foreign envoys were properly cared for and received sufficient state funds for their maintenance , and it kept all the official translators -- it probably had a security function as well . Byzantines availed themselves of a number of diplomatic practices . For example , embassies to the capital would often stay on for years . A member of other royal houses would routinely be requested to stay on in Constantinople , not only as a potential hostage , but also as a useful pawn in case political conditions where he came from changed . Another key practice was to overwhelm visitors by sumptuous displays . According to Dimitri Obolensky , the preservation of the ancient civilisation in Europe was due to the skill and resourcefulness of Byzantine diplomacy , which remains one of Byzantium 's lasting contributions to the history of Europe . Flags and insignia Main article : Byzantine flags and insignia For most of its history , the Byzantine Empire did not know or use heraldry in the West European sense . Various emblems ( Greek : σημεία , sēmeia ; sing . σημείον , sēmeion ) were used in official occasions and for military purposes , such as banners or shields displaying various motifs such as the cross or the labarum . The use of the cross , and of images of Christ , the Virgin Mary and various saints is also attested on seals of officials , but these were personal rather than family emblems .

( Green dots indicate Cappadocian Greek speaking villages in 1910 . ) Apart from the Imperial court , administration and military , the primary language used in the eastern Roman provinces even before the decline of the Western Empire was Greek , having been spoken in the region for centuries before Latin . Following Rome 's conquest of the east its ' Pax Romana ' , inclusionist political practices and development of public infrastructure , facilitated the further spreading and entrenchment of Greek language in the east . Indeed , early on in the life of the Roman Empire , Greek had become the common language of the Church , the language of scholarship and the arts , and , to a large degree , the lingua franca for trade between provinces and with other nations . Greek for a time became diglossic with the spoken language , known as Koine ( eventually evolving into Demotic Greek ) , used alongside an older written form until Koine won out as the spoken and written standard . The use of Latin as the language of administration persisted until formally abolished by Heraclius in the 7th century . Scholarly Latin would rapidly fall into disuse among the educated classes although the language would continue to be at least a ceremonial part of the Empire 's culture for some time . Additionally , Vulgar Latin remained a minority language in the Empire , mainly along the Dalmatian coast ( Dalmatian ) and among the Romanian peoples . Many other languages existed in the multi-ethnic Empire , and some of these were given limited official status in their provinces at various times . Notably , by the beginning of the Middle Ages , Syriac had become more widely used by the educated classes in the far eastern provinces . Similarly Coptic , Armenian , and Georgian became significant among the educated in their provinces , and later foreign contacts made Old Church Slavic , Middle Persian , and Arabic important in the Empire and its sphere of influence . Aside from these , since Constantinople was a prime trading center in the Mediterranean region and beyond , virtually every known language of the Middle Ages was spoken in the Empire at some time , even Chinese . As the Empire entered its final decline , the Empire 's citizens became more culturally homogeneous and the Greek language became integral to their identity and religion . Legacy See also : Third Rome and Greek scholars in the Renaissance King David in robes of a Byzantine emperor ; miniature from the Paris Psalter Byzantium has been often identified with absolutism , orthodox spirituality , orientalism and exoticism , while the terms `` Byzantine '' and `` Byzantinism '' have been used as bywords for decadence , complex bureaucracy , and repression . In the countries of Central and Southeast Europe that exited the Eastern Bloc in the late 1980s and early 1990s , the assessment of Byzantine civilisation and its legacy was strongly negative due to their connection with an alleged `` Eastern authoritarianism and autocracy . '' Both Eastern and Western European authors have often perceived Byzantium as a body of religious , political , and philosophical ideas contrary to those of the West . Even in 19th - century Greece , the focus was mainly on the classical past , while Byzantine tradition had been associated with negative connotations . This traditional approach towards Byzantium has been partially or wholly disputed and revised by modern studies , which focus on the positive aspects of Byzantine culture and legacy . Averil Cameron regards as undeniable the Byzantine contribution to the formation of the medieval Europe , and both Cameron and Obolensky recognise the major role of Byzantium in shaping Orthodoxy , which in turn occupies a central position in the history and societies of Greece , Romania , Bulgaria , Russia , Georgia , Serbia and other countries . The Byzantines also preserved and copied classical manuscripts , and they are thus regarded as transmitters of the classical knowledge , as important contributors to the modern European civilization , and as precursors of both the Renaissance humanism and the Slav Orthodox culture . As the only stable long - term state in Europe during the Middle Ages , Byzantium isolated Western Europe from newly emerging forces to the East . Constantly under attack , it distanced Western Europe from Persians , Arabs , Seljuk Turks , and for a time , the Ottomans . From a different perspective , since the 7th century , the evolution and constant reshaping of the Byzantine state were directly related to the respective progress of Islam . Following the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453 , Sultan Mehmed II took the title `` Kaysar - i Rûm '' ( the Ottoman Turkish equivalent of Caesar of Rome ) , since he was determined to make the Ottoman Empire the heir of the Eastern Roman Empire . According to Cameron , regarding themselves as `` heirs '' of Byzantium , the Ottomans preserved important aspects of its tradition , which in turn facilitated an `` Orthodox revival '' during the post-communist period of the Eastern European states .

After 1081 , it occasionally appears in official Byzantine documents as well . In 1204 , the leaders of the Fourth Crusade gave the name Romania to the newly founded Latin Empire . The term does not refer to modern Romania . Notes Jump up ^ `` Byzantine Empire '' . Encyclopædia Britannica .

About Wikipedia | which emperor established a new capital from which the byzantine empire arose | [
"Several signal events from the 4th to 6th centuries mark the period of transition during which the Roman Empire's Greek East and Latin West divided. Constantine I (r. 324–337) reorganised the empire, made Constantinople the new capital, and legalised Christianity. Under Theodosius I (r. 379–395), Christianity became the Empire's official state religion and other religious practices were proscribed. Finally, under the reign of Heraclius (r. 610–641), the Empire's military and administration were restructured and adopted Greek for official use instead of Latin.[4] Thus, although the Roman state continued and Roman state traditions were maintained, modern historians distinguish Byzantium from ancient Rome insofar as it was centred on Constantinople, oriented towards Greek rather than Latin culture, and characterised by Orthodox Christianity.[3]"

They were also the representative of the executive of the ruling power . On November 15 , 1935 , the Commonwealth of the Philippines was established as a transitional government to prepare the country for independence from the American control .

7552799010441514133 | Díaz (surname) | Díaz ( surname ) - wikipedia Díaz ( surname ) For other uses , see Diaz ( disambiguation ) . Díaz Pronunciation Spanish : ( ˈdiaθ ) , in Latin America : ( ˈdias ) Origin Region of origin Spain , Portugal Meaning `` Son of Diego '' Other names Variant ( s ) Diaz ( anglicized ) , Dias ( Portuguese variant ) Díaz is a common Spanish surname with multiple meanings in multiple languages . First found in Castile , where the name originated in the Visigoth period , the name accounts for about 0.17 % of the Spanish population , ranking as the 14th-most frequently found surname in both 1999 and 2004 compared to the most popular Spanish surname of those years . Contents 1 Variants and related names 2 Usage 2.1 Frequency 3 Persons 3.1 Arts and entertainment 3.2 Politics and military 3.3 Sports 3.4 Others 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Variants and related names ( edit ) There is minor evidence that Díez may be equivalent to Díaz , in the form of Spanish language listing of most frequent surnames in 1999 Spain ( OcioTotal 1999 ) . However , a 2008 in - press academic manuscript about Spanish naming in 2004 suggests otherwise , listing statistics for `` Díaz '' and `` Díez '' separately ( Mateos & Tucker 2008 ) . In relation to descent from the Biblical names James and Jacob , it has been surmised that Díaz is a derivation of Diego from Iago ( Smith 1986 ) , Sant Iagus . A second source suggests Díaz as being derived from a Gothic form of the paternal genitive of Dia , as in `` Dia 's child '' , or Diag , Diago or Diego ( Dixon 1857 ) . Dias translates into `` son of Jacob '' . The surname is cognate with the Portuguese language surname Dias . Usage ( edit ) Díaz and the anglicized form Diaz appear to be surnames only , without evidence for use as given names . Use of Diaz may arise through Anglicization of Portuguese language Dias , as in the case of Bartolomeu Dias . Many examples of the surnames Díaz exist among historically notable people as a patronymic of Diego . Among the earliest such examples is El Cid , whose real name was Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar , and whose father 's given name was Diego ( Catholic Encyclopedia 1913 ) . There is at least one instance of use as a single name , the former Norwegian rap artist Diaz , who was born to a Spanish father and Norwegian mother ; his birth name was `` Andrés Rafael Díaz '' . Frequency ( edit ) In Latin America Díaz was among the top 25 % of surnames in use based on a study conducted in 1987 by the Institute for Genealogy and History for Latin America ( De Platt 1996 , pages 31 -- 32 ) . Spanish surnames , including Díaz , are found more abundantly in Southern Italy than other non-Italian surnames as a result of the domination of Italy by Spain during the 17th century ( Fucilla 1949 ) . The following matrix contains available information on the frequency of this surname in various countries across a span of years .

For other uses , see PCR ( disambiguation ) . A strip of eight PCR tubes , each containing a 100 μl reaction mixture Polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) is a technique used in molecular biology to amplify a single copy or a few copies of a segment of DNA across several orders of magnitude , generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence . It is an easy , cheap , and reliable way to repeatedly replicate a focused segment of DNA , a concept which is applicable to numerous fields in modern biology and related sciences . Developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis , PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in clinical and research laboratories for a broad variety of applications . These include DNA cloning for sequencing , gene cloning and manipulation , gene mutagenesis ; construction of DNA - based phylogenies , or functional analysis of genes ; diagnosis and monitoring of hereditary diseases ; amplification of ancient DNA ; analysis of genetic fingerprints for DNA profiling ( for example , in forensic science and parentage testing ) ; and detection of pathogens in nucleic acid tests for the diagnosis of infectious diseases . In 1993 , Mullis was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Michael Smith for his work on PCR . Placing a strip of eight PCR tubes into a thermal cycler The vast majority of PCR methods rely on thermal cycling , which involves exposing the reactants to cycles of repeated heating and cooling , permitting different temperature - dependent reactions -- specifically , DNA melting and enzyme - driven DNA replication -- to quickly proceed many times in sequence . Primers ( short DNA fragments ) containing sequences complementary to the target region , along with a DNA polymerase , after which the method is named , enable selective and repeated amplification . As PCR progresses , the DNA generated is itself used as a template for replication , setting in motion a chain reaction in which the original DNA template is exponentially amplified . The simplicity of the basic principle underlying PCR means it can be extensively modified to perform a wide array of genetic manipulations . PCR is not generally considered to be a recombinant DNA method , as it does not involve cutting and pasting DNA , only amplification of existing sequences . Almost all PCR applications employ a heat - stable DNA polymerase , such as Taq polymerase , an enzyme originally isolated from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus . This DNA polymerase enzymatically assembles a new DNA strand from free nucleotides , the building blocks of DNA , by using single - stranded DNA as a template and DNA oligonucleotides ( the primers mentioned above ) to initiate DNA synthesis . In the first step , the two strands of the DNA double helix are physically separated at a high temperature in a process called DNA melting . In the second step , the temperature is lowered and the two DNA strands become templates for DNA polymerase to selectively amplify the target DNA . The selectivity of PCR results from the use of primers that are complementary to the DNA region targeted for amplification under specific thermal cycling conditions .

Most PCR methods amplify DNA fragments of between 0.1 and 10 kilo base pairs ( kbp ) , although some techniques allow for amplification of fragments up to 40 kbp in size . The amount of amplified product is determined by the available substrates in the reaction , which become limiting as the reaction progresses . A basic PCR set - up requires several components and reagents , including : a DNA template that contains the DNA target region to amplify a DNA polymerase , an enzyme that polymerizes new DNA strands ; heat - resistant Taq polymerase is especially common , as it is more likely to remain intact during the high - temperature DNA denaturation process two DNA primers that are complementary to the 3 ' ( three prime ) ends of each of the sense and anti-sense strands of the DNA target ( DNA polymerase can only bind to and elongate from a double - stranded region of DNA ; without primers there is no double - stranded initiation site at which the polymerase can bind ) ; specific primers that are complementary to the DNA target region are selected beforehand , and are often custom - made in a laboratory or purchased from commercial biochemical suppliers deoxynucleoside triphosphates , or dNTPs ( sometimes called `` deoxynucleotide triphosphates '' ; nucleotides containing triphosphate groups ) , the building blocks from which the DNA polymerase synthesizes a new DNA strand a buffer solution providing a suitable chemical environment for optimum activity and stability of the DNA polymerase bivalent cations , typically magnesium ( Mg ) or manganese ( Mn ) ions ; Mg is the most common , but Mn can be used for PCR - mediated DNA mutagenesis , as a higher Mn concentration increases the error rate during DNA synthesis monovalent cations , typically potassium ( K ) ions The reaction is commonly carried out in a volume of 10 -- 200 μl in small reaction tubes ( 0.2 -- 0.5 ml volumes ) in a thermal cycler . The thermal cycler heats and cools the reaction tubes to achieve the temperatures required at each step of the reaction ( see below ) . Many modern thermal cyclers make use of the Peltier effect , which permits both heating and cooling of the block holding the PCR tubes simply by reversing the electric current . Thin - walled reaction tubes permit favorable thermal conductivity to allow for rapid thermal equilibration . Most thermal cyclers have heated lids to prevent condensation at the top of the reaction tube . Older thermal cyclers lacking a heated lid require a layer of oil on top of the reaction mixture or a ball of wax inside the tube . Procedure ( edit ) Typically , PCR consists of a series of 20 -- 40 repeated temperature changes , called cycles , with each cycle commonly consisting of two or three discrete temperature steps ( see figure below ) . The cycling is often preceded by a single temperature step at a very high temperature ( > 90 ° C ( 194 ° F ) ) , and followed by one hold at the end for final product extension or brief storage . The temperatures used and the length of time they are applied in each cycle depend on a variety of parameters , including the enzyme used for DNA synthesis , the concentration of bivalent ions and dNTPs in the reaction , and the melting temperature ( Tm ) of the primers . The individual steps common to most PCR methods are as follows : Initialization : This step is only required for DNA polymerases that require heat activation by hot - start PCR . It consists of heating the reaction chamber to a temperature of 94 -- 96 ° C ( 201 -- 205 ° F ) , or 98 ° C ( 208 ° F ) if extremely thermostable polymerases are used , which is then held for 1 -- 10 minutes . Denaturation : This step is the first regular cycling event and consists of heating the reaction chamber to 94 -- 98 ° C ( 201 -- 208 ° F ) for 20 -- 30 seconds . This causes DNA melting , or denaturation , of the double - stranded DNA template by breaking the hydrogen bonds between complementary bases , yielding two single - stranded DNA molecules . Annealing : In the next step , the reaction temperature is lowered to 50 -- 65 ° C ( 122 -- 149 ° F ) for 20 -- 40 seconds , allowing annealing of the primers to each of the single - stranded DNA templates . Two different primers are typically included in the reaction mixture : one for each of the two single - stranded complements containing the target region . The primers are single - stranded sequences themselves , but are much shorter than the length of the target region , complementing only very short sequences at the 3 ' end of each strand . It is critical to determine a proper temperature for the annealing step because efficiency and specificity are strongly affected by the annealing temperature . This temperature must be low enough to allow for hybridization of the primer to the strand , but high enough for the hybridization to be specific , i.e. , the primer should bind only to a perfectly complementary part of the strand , and nowhere else . If the temperature is too low , the primer may bind imperfectly . If it is too high , the primer may not bind at all . A typical annealing temperature is about 3 -- 5 ° C below the Tm of the primers used . Stable hydrogen bonds between complementary bases are formed only when the primer sequence very closely matches the template sequence . During this step , the polymerase binds to the primer - template hybrid and begins DNA formation . Extension / elongation : The temperature at this step depends on the DNA polymerase used ; the optimum activity temperature for Taq polymerase is approximately 75 -- 80 ° C ( 167 -- 176 ° F ) , though a temperature of 72 ° C ( 162 ° F ) is commonly used with this enzyme . In this step , the DNA polymerase synthesizes a new DNA strand complementary to the DNA template strand by adding free dNTPs from the reaction mixture that are complementary to the template in the 5 ' - to - 3 ' direction , condensing the 5 ' - phosphate group of the dNTPs with the 3 ' - hydroxy group at the end of the nascent ( elongating ) DNA strand . The precise time required for elongation depends both on the DNA polymerase used and on the length of the DNA target region to amplify . As a rule of thumb , at their optimal temperature , most DNA polymerases polymerize a thousand bases per minute . Under optimal conditions ( i.e. , if there are no limitations due to limiting substrates or reagents ) , at each extension / elongation step , the number of DNA target sequences is doubled . With each successive cycle , the original template strands plus all newly generated strands become template strands for the next round of elongation , leading to exponential ( geometric ) amplification of the specific DNA target region . The processes of denaturation , annealing and elongation constitute a single cycle . Multiple cycles are required to amplify the DNA target to millions of copies . The formula used to calculate the number of DNA copies formed after a given number of cycles is 2 , where n is the number of cycles . Thus , a reaction set for 30 cycles results in 2 , or 1073741824 , copies of the original double - stranded DNA target region . Final elongation : This single step is optional , but is performed at a temperature of 70 -- 74 ° C ( 158 -- 165 ° F ) ( the temperature range required for optimal activity of most polymerases used in PCR ) for 5 -- 15 minutes after the last PCR cycle to ensure that any remaining single - stranded DNA is fully elongated . Final hold : The final step cools the reaction chamber to 4 -- 15 ° C ( 39 -- 59 ° F ) for an indefinite time , and may be employed for short - term storage of the PCR products . Ethidium bromide - stained PCR products after gel electrophoresis . Two sets of primers were used to amplify a target sequence from three different tissue samples . No amplification is present in sample # 1 ; DNA bands in sample # 2 and # 3 indicate successful amplification of the target sequence . The gel also shows a positive control , and a DNA ladder containing DNA fragments of defined length for sizing the bands in the experimental PCRs . To check whether the PCR successfully generated the anticipated DNA target region ( also sometimes referred to as the amplimer or amplicon ) , agarose gel electrophoresis may be employed for size separation of the PCR products . The size ( s ) of PCR products is determined by comparison with a DNA ladder , a molecular weight marker which contains DNA fragments of known size run on the gel alongside the PCR products . Stages ( edit ) As with other chemical reactions , the reaction rate and efficiency of PCR are affected by limiting factors . Thus , the entire PCR process can further be divided into three stages based on reaction progress : Exponential amplification : At every cycle , the amount of product is doubled ( assuming 100 % reaction efficiency ) . The reaction is very sensitive : only minute quantities of DNA must be present . Leveling off stage : The reaction slows as the DNA polymerase loses activity and as consumption of reagents such as dNTPs and primers causes them to become limiting . Plateau : No more product accumulates due to exhaustion of reagents and enzyme . Optimization ( edit ) Main article : PCR optimization In practice , PCR can fail for various reasons , in part due to its sensitivity to contamination causing amplification of spurious DNA products . Because of this , a number of techniques and procedures have been developed for optimizing PCR conditions . Contamination with extraneous DNA is addressed with lab protocols and procedures that separate pre-PCR mixtures from potential DNA contaminants . This usually involves spatial separation of PCR - setup areas from areas for analysis or purification of PCR products , use of disposable plasticware , and thoroughly cleaning the work surface between reaction setups . Primer - design techniques are important in improving PCR product yield and in avoiding the formation of spurious products , and the usage of alternate buffer components or polymerase enzymes can help with amplification of long or otherwise problematic regions of DNA . Addition of reagents , such as formamide , in buffer systems may increase the specificity and yield of PCR . Computer simulations of theoretical PCR results ( Electronic PCR ) may be performed to assist in primer design . Applications ( edit ) Selective DNA isolation ( edit ) PCR allows isolation of DNA fragments from genomic DNA by selective amplification of a specific region of DNA . This use of PCR augments many ways , such as generating hybridization probes for Southern or northern hybridization and DNA cloning , which require larger amounts of DNA , representing a specific DNA region . PCR supplies these techniques with high amounts of pure DNA , enabling analysis of DNA samples even from very small amounts of starting material . Other applications of PCR include DNA sequencing to determine unknown PCR - amplified sequences in which one of the amplification primers may be used in Sanger sequencing , isolation of a DNA sequence to expedite recombinant DNA technologies involving the insertion of a DNA sequence into a plasmid , phage , or cosmid ( depending on size ) or the genetic material of another organism . Bacterial colonies ( such as E. coli ) can be rapidly screened by PCR for correct DNA vector constructs . PCR may also be used for genetic fingerprinting ; a forensic technique used to identify a person or organism by comparing experimental DNAs through different PCR - based methods . Some PCR ' fingerprints ' methods have high discriminative power and can be used to identify genetic relationships between individuals , such as parent - child or between siblings , and are used in paternity testing ( Fig. 4 ) . This technique may also be used to determine evolutionary relationships among organisms when certain molecular clocks are used ( i.e. , the 16S rRNA and recA genes of microorganisms ) . Electrophoresis of PCR - amplified DNA fragments . ( 1 ) Father . ( 2 ) Child . ( 3 ) Mother . The child has inherited some , but not all of the fingerprint of each of its parents , giving it a new , unique fingerprint . Amplification and quantification of DNA ( edit ) See also : Use of DNA in forensic entomology Because PCR amplifies the regions of DNA that it targets , PCR can be used to analyze extremely small amounts of sample . This is often critical for forensic analysis , when only a trace amount of DNA is available as evidence . PCR may also be used in the analysis of ancient DNA that is tens of thousands of years old . These PCR - based techniques have been successfully used on animals , such as a forty - thousand - year - old mammoth , and also on human DNA , in applications ranging from the analysis of Egyptian mummies to the identification of a Russian tsar and the body of English king Richard III . Quantitative PCR methods allow the estimation of the amount of a given sequence present in a sample -- a technique often applied to quantitatively determine levels of gene expression . Quantitative PCR is an established tool for DNA quantification that measures the accumulation of DNA product after each round of PCR amplification . qPCR allows the quantification and detection of a specific DNA sequence in real time since it measures concentration while the synthesis process is taking place . There are two methods for simultaneous detection and quantification . The first method is fluorescent dyes that are retained nonspecifically in between the double strands . The second method are probes that code for specific sequences and are fluorescently labeled . Detection of DNA using these methods can only be seen after the hybridization of probes with its complementary DNA takes place . An interesting technique combination is real - time PCR and reverse transcription ( RT - qPCR ) . This sophisticated technique allows for the quantification of a small quantity of RNA . Through this combined technique , mRNA is converted to cDNA , which is further quantified using qPCR . This technique lowers the possibility of error at the end point of PCR , increasing chances for detection of genes associated with genetic diseases such as cancer . Laboratories use RT - qPCR for the purpose of measuring gene regulation sensitively . Medical applications ( edit ) PCR has been applied to a large number of medical procedures : The first application of PCR was for genetic testing , where a sample of DNA is analyzed for the presence of genetic disease mutations . Prospective parents can be tested for being genetic carriers , or their children might be tested for actually being affected by a disease . DNA samples for prenatal testing can be obtained by amniocentesis , chorionic villus sampling , or even by the analysis of rare fetal cells circulating in the mother 's bloodstream . PCR analysis is also essential to preimplantation genetic diagnosis , where individual cells of a developing embryo are tested for mutations . PCR can also be used as part of a sensitive test for tissue typing , vital to organ transplantation . As of 2008 , there is even a proposal to replace the traditional antibody - based tests for blood type with PCR - based tests . Many forms of cancer involve alterations to oncogenes . By using PCR - based tests to study these mutations , therapy regimens can sometimes be individually customized to a patient . PCR permits early diagnosis of malignant diseases such as leukemia and lymphomas , which is currently the highest - developed in cancer research and is already being used routinely . PCR assays can be performed directly on genomic DNA samples to detect translocation - specific malignant cells at a sensitivity that is at least 10,000 fold higher than that of other methods . PCR is very useful in the medical field since it allows for the isolation and amplification of tumor suppressors . Quantitative PCR for example , can be used to quantify and analyze single cells , as well as recognize DNA , mRNA and protein confirmations and combinations . Infectious disease applications ( edit ) PCR allows for rapid and highly specific diagnosis of infectious diseases , including those caused by bacteria or viruses . PCR also permits identification of non-cultivatable or slow - growing microorganisms such as mycobacteria , anaerobic bacteria , or viruses from tissue culture assays and animal models . The basis for PCR diagnostic applications in microbiology is the detection of infectious agents and the discrimination of non-pathogenic from pathogenic strains by virtue of specific genes . Characterization and detection of infectious disease organisms have been revolutionized by PCR in the following ways : The human immunodeficiency virus ( or HIV ) , is a difficult target to find and eradicate . The earliest tests for infection relied on the presence of antibodies to the virus circulating in the bloodstream . However , antibodies do n't appear until many weeks after infection , maternal antibodies mask the infection of a newborn , and therapeutic agents to fight the infection do n't affect the antibodies . PCR tests have been developed that can detect as little as one viral genome among the DNA of over 50,000 host cells . Infections can be detected earlier , donated blood can be screened directly for the virus , newborns can be immediately tested for infection , and the effects of antiviral treatments can be quantified . Some disease organisms , such as that for tuberculosis , are difficult to sample from patients and slow to be grown in the laboratory . PCR - based tests have allowed detection of small numbers of disease organisms ( both live or dead ) , in convenient samples . Detailed genetic analysis can also be used to detect antibiotic resistance , allowing immediate and effective therapy . The effects of therapy can also be immediately evaluated . The spread of a disease organism through populations of domestic or wild animals can be monitored by PCR testing . In many cases , the appearance of new virulent sub-types can be detected and monitored . The sub-types of an organism that were responsible for earlier epidemics can also be determined by PCR analysis . Viral DNA can be detected by PCR . The primers used must be specific to the targeted sequences in the DNA of a virus , and PCR can be used for diagnostic analyses or DNA sequencing of the viral genome . The high sensitivity of PCR permits virus detection soon after infection and even before the onset of disease . Such early detection may give physicians a significant lead time in treatment . The amount of virus ( `` viral load '' ) in a patient can also be quantified by PCR - based DNA quantitation techniques ( see below ) . Forensic applications ( edit ) The development of PCR - based genetic ( or DNA ) fingerprinting protocols has seen widespread application in forensics : In its most discriminating form , genetic fingerprinting can uniquely discriminate any one person from the entire population of the world . Minute samples of DNA can be isolated from a crime scene , and compared to that from suspects , or from a DNA database of earlier evidence or convicts . Simpler versions of these tests are often used to rapidly rule out suspects during a criminal investigation . Evidence from decades - old crimes can be tested , confirming or exonerating the people originally convicted . Forensic DNA typing has been an effective way of identifying or exonerating criminal suspects due to analysis of evidence discovered at a crime scene . The human genome has many repetitive regions that can be found within gene sequences or in non-coding regions of the genome . Specifically , up to 40 % of human DNA is repetitive . There are two distinct categories for these repetitive , non-coding regions in the genome . The first category is called variable number tandem repeats ( VNTR ) , which are 10 - 100 base pairs long and the second category is called short tandem repeats ( STR ) and these consist of repeated 2 - 10 base pair sections . PCR is used to amplify several well - known VNTRs and STRs using primers that flank each of the repetitive regions . The sizes of the fragments obtained from any individual for each of the STRs will indicate which alleles are present . By analyzing several STRs for an individual , a set of alleles for each person will be found that statistically is likely to be unique . Researchers have identified the complete sequence of the human genome . This sequence can be easily accessed through the NCBI website and is used in many real - life applications . For example , the FBI has compiled a set of DNA marker sites used for identification , and these are called the Combined DNA Index System ( CODIS ) DNA database . Using this database enables statistical analysis to be used to determine the probability that a DNA sample will match . PCR is a very powerful and significant analytical tool to use for forensic DNA typing because researchers only need a very small amount of the target DNA to be used for analysis . For example , a single human hair with attached hair follicle has enough DNA to conduct the analysis . Similarly , a few sperm , skin samples from under the fingernails , or a small amount of blood can provide enough DNA for conclusive analysis . Less discriminating forms of DNA fingerprinting can help in DNA paternity testing , where an individual is matched with their close relatives . DNA from unidentified human remains can be tested , and compared with that from possible parents , siblings , or children . Similar testing can be used to confirm the biological parents of an adopted ( or kidnapped ) child . The actual biological father of a newborn can also be confirmed ( or ruled out ) . Research applications ( edit ) PCR has been applied to many areas of research in molecular genetics : PCR allows rapid production of short pieces of DNA , even when not more than the sequence of the two primers is known . This ability of PCR augments many methods , such as generating hybridization probes for Southern or northern blot hybridization . PCR supplies these techniques with large amounts of pure DNA , sometimes as a single strand , enabling analysis even from very small amounts of starting material . The task of DNA sequencing can also be assisted by PCR . Known segments of DNA can easily be produced from a patient with a genetic disease mutation . Modifications to the amplification technique can extract segments from a completely unknown genome , or can generate just a single strand of an area of interest . PCR has numerous applications to the more traditional process of DNA cloning . It can extract segments for insertion into a vector from a larger genome , which may be only available in small quantities . Using a single set of ' vector primers ' , it can also analyze or extract fragments that have already been inserted into vectors . Some alterations to the PCR protocol can generate mutations ( general or site - directed ) of an inserted fragment . Sequence - tagged sites is a process where PCR is used as an indicator that a particular segment of a genome is present in a particular clone . The Human Genome Project found this application vital to mapping the cosmid clones they were sequencing , and to coordinating the results from different laboratories . An exciting application of PCR is the phylogenic analysis of DNA from ancient sources , such as that found in the recovered bones of Neanderthals , or from frozen tissues of mammoths . In some cases the highly degraded DNA from these sources might be reassembled during the early stages of amplification . A common application of PCR is the study of patterns of gene expression . Tissues ( or even individual cells ) can be analyzed at different stages to see which genes have become active , or which have been switched off . This application can also use quantitative PCR to quantitate the actual levels of expression The ability of PCR to simultaneously amplify several loci from individual sperm has greatly enhanced the more traditional task of genetic mapping by studying chromosomal crossovers after meiosis . Rare crossover events between very close loci have been directly observed by analyzing thousands of individual sperms . Similarly , unusual deletions , insertions , translocations , or inversions can be analyzed , all without having to wait ( or pay ) for the long and laborious processes of fertilization , embryogenesis , etc . Advantages ( edit ) PCR has a number of advantages . It is fairly simple to understand and to use , and produces results rapidly . The technique is highly sensitive with the potential to produce millions to billions of copies of a specific product for sequencing , cloning , and analysis . qRT - PCR shares the same advantages as the PCR , with an added advantage of quantification of the synthesized product . Therefore , it has its uses to analyze alterations of gene expression levels in tumors , microbes , or other disease states . Limitations ( edit ) One major limitation of PCR is that prior information about the target sequence is necessary in order to generate the primers that will allow its selective amplification . This means that , typically , PCR users must know the precise sequence ( s ) upstream of the target region on each of the two single - stranded templates in order to ensure that the DNA polymerase properly binds to the primer - template hybrids and subsequently generates the entire target region during DNA synthesis . Like all enzymes , DNA polymerases are also prone to error , which in turn causes mutations in the PCR fragments that are generated . Variations ( edit ) Main article : Variants of PCR Allele - specific PCR : a diagnostic or cloning technique based on single - nucleotide variations ( SNVs not to be confused with SNPs ) ( single - base differences in a patient ) . It requires prior knowledge of a DNA sequence , including differences between alleles , and uses primers whose 3 ' ends encompass the SNV ( base pair buffer around SNV usually incorporated ) . PCR amplification under stringent conditions is much less efficient in the presence of a mismatch between template and primer , so successful amplification with an SNP - specific primer signals presence of the specific SNP in a sequence . See SNP genotyping for more information . Assembly PCR or Polymerase Cycling Assembly ( PCA ) : artificial synthesis of long DNA sequences by performing PCR on a pool of long oligonucleotides with short overlapping segments . The oligonucleotides alternate between sense and antisense directions , and the overlapping segments determine the order of the PCR fragments , thereby selectively producing the final long DNA product . Asymmetric PCR : preferentially amplifies one DNA strand in a double - stranded DNA template . It is used in sequencing and hybridization probing where amplification of only one of the two complementary strands is required . PCR is carried out as usual , but with a great excess of the primer for the strand targeted for amplification . Because of the slow ( arithmetic ) amplification later in the reaction after the limiting primer has been used up , extra cycles of PCR are required . A recent modification on this process , known as Linear - After - The - Exponential - PCR ( LATE - PCR ) , uses a limiting primer with a higher melting temperature ( Tm ) than the excess primer to maintain reaction efficiency as the limiting primer concentration decreases mid-reaction . Convective PCR : a pseudo-isothermal way of performing PCR . Instead of repeatedly heating and cooling the PCR mixture , the solution is subjected to a thermal gradient . The resulting thermal instability driven convective flow automatically shuffles the PCR reagents from the hot and cold regions repeatedly enabling PCR . Parameters such as thermal boundary conditions and geometry of the PCR enclosure can be optimized to yield robust and rapid PCR by harnessing the emergence of chaotic flow fields . Such convective flow PCR setup significantly reduces device power requirement and operation time . Dial - out PCR : a highly parallel method for retrieving accurate DNA molecules for gene synthesis . A complex library of DNA molecules is modified with unique flanking tags before massively parallel sequencing . Tag - directed primers then enable the retrieval of molecules with desired sequences by PCR . Digital PCR ( dPCR ) : used to measure the quantity of a target DNA sequence in a DNA sample . The DNA sample is highly diluted so that after running many PCRs in parallel , some of them do not receive a single molecule of the target DNA . The target DNA concentration is calculated using the proportion of negative outcomes . Hence the name ' digital PCR ' . Helicase - dependent amplification : similar to traditional PCR , but uses a constant temperature rather than cycling through denaturation and annealing / extension cycles . DNA helicase , an enzyme that unwinds DNA , is used in place of thermal denaturation . Hot start PCR : a technique that reduces non-specific amplification during the initial set up stages of the PCR . It may be performed manually by heating the reaction components to the denaturation temperature ( e.g. , 95 ° C ) before adding the polymerase . Specialized enzyme systems have been developed that inhibit the polymerase 's activity at ambient temperature , either by the binding of an antibody or by the presence of covalently bound inhibitors that dissociate only after a high - temperature activation step . Hot - start / cold - finish PCR is achieved with new hybrid polymerases that are inactive at ambient temperature and are instantly activated at elongation temperature . In silico PCR ( digital PCR , virtual PCR , electronic PCR , e-PCR ) refers to computational tools used to calculate theoretical polymerase chain reaction results using a given set of primers ( probes ) to amplify DNA sequences from a sequenced genome or transcriptome . In silico PCR was proposed as an educational tool for molecular biology . Intersequence - specific PCR ( ISSR ) : a PCR method for DNA fingerprinting that amplifies regions between simple sequence repeats to produce a unique fingerprint of amplified fragment lengths . Inverse PCR : is commonly used to identify the flanking sequences around genomic inserts . It involves a series of DNA digestions and self ligation , resulting in known sequences at either end of the unknown sequence . Ligation - mediated PCR : uses small DNA linkers ligated to the DNA of interest and multiple primers annealing to the DNA linkers ; it has been used for DNA sequencing , genome walking , and DNA footprinting . Methylation - specific PCR ( MSP ) : developed by Stephen Baylin and Jim Herman at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine , and is used to detect methylation of CpG islands in genomic DNA . DNA is first treated with sodium bisulfite , which converts unmethylated cytosine bases to uracil , which is recognized by PCR primers as thymine . Two PCRs are then carried out on the modified DNA , using primer sets identical except at any CpG islands within the primer sequences . At these points , one primer set recognizes DNA with cytosines to amplify methylated DNA , and one set recognizes DNA with uracil or thymine to amplify unmethylated DNA . MSP using qPCR can also be performed to obtain quantitative rather than qualitative information about methylation . Miniprimer PCR : uses a thermostable polymerase ( S - Tbr ) that can extend from short primers ( `` smalligos '' ) as short as 9 or 10 nucleotides . This method permits PCR targeting to smaller primer binding regions , and is used to amplify conserved DNA sequences , such as the 16S ( or eukaryotic 18S ) rRNA gene . Multiplex ligation - dependent probe amplification ( MLPA ) : permits amplifying multiple targets with a single primer pair , thus avoiding the resolution limitations of multiplex PCR ( see below ) . Multiplex - PCR : consists of multiple primer sets within a single PCR mixture to produce amplicons of varying sizes that are specific to different DNA sequences . By targeting multiple genes at once , additional information may be gained from a single test - run that otherwise would require several times the reagents and more time to perform . Annealing temperatures for each of the primer sets must be optimized to work correctly within a single reaction , and amplicon sizes . That is , their base pair length should be different enough to form distinct bands when visualized by gel electrophoresis . Nanoparticle - Assisted PCR ( nanoPCR ) : In recent years , it has been reported that some nanoparticles ( NPs ) can enhance the efficiency of PCR ( thus being called nanoPCR ) , and some even perform better than the original PCR enhancers . It was also found that quantum dots ( QDs ) can improve PCR specificity and efficiency . Single - walled carbon nanotubes ( SWCNTs ) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes ( MWCNTs ) are efficient in enhancing the amplification of long PCR . Carbon nanopowder ( CNP ) was reported be able to improve the efficiency of repeated PCR and long PCR . ZnO , TiO2 , and Ag NPs were also found to increase PCR yield . Importantly , already known data has indicated that non-metallic NPs retained acceptable amplification fidelity . Given that many NPs are capable of enhancing PCR efficiency , it is clear that there is likely to be great potential for nanoPCR technology improvements and product development . Nested PCR : increases the specificity of DNA amplification , by reducing background due to non-specific amplification of DNA . Two sets of primers are used in two successive PCRs . In the first reaction , one pair of primers is used to generate DNA products , which besides the intended target , may still consist of non-specifically amplified DNA fragments . The product ( s ) are then used in a second PCR with a set of primers whose binding sites are completely or partially different from and located 3 ' of each of the primers used in the first reaction . Nested PCR is often more successful in specifically amplifying long DNA fragments than conventional PCR , but it requires more detailed knowledge of the target sequences . Overlap - extension PCR or Splicing by overlap extension ( SOEing ) : a genetic engineering technique that is used to splice together two or more DNA fragments that contain complementary sequences . It is used to join DNA pieces containing genes , regulatory sequences , or mutations ; the technique enables creation of specific and long DNA constructs . It can also introduce deletions , insertions or point mutations into a DNA sequence . PAN-AC : uses isothermal conditions for amplification , and may be used in living cells . quantitative PCR ( qPCR ) : used to measure the quantity of a target sequence ( commonly in real - time ) . It quantitatively measures starting amounts of DNA , cDNA , or RNA . quantitative PCR is commonly used to determine whether a DNA sequence is present in a sample and the number of its copies in the sample . Quantitative PCR has a very high degree of precision . Quantitative PCR methods use fluorescent dyes , such as Sybr Green , EvaGreen or fluorophore - containing DNA probes , such as TaqMan , to measure the amount of amplified product in real time . It is also sometimes abbreviated to RT - PCR ( real - time PCR ) but this abbreviation should be used only for reverse transcription PCR . qPCR is the appropriate contractions for quantitative PCR ( real - time PCR ) . Reverse Transcription PCR ( RT - PCR ) : for amplifying DNA from RNA . Reverse transcriptase reverse transcribes RNA into cDNA , which is then amplified by PCR . RT - PCR is widely used in expression profiling , to determine the expression of a gene or to identify the sequence of an RNA transcript , including transcription start and termination sites . If the genomic DNA sequence of a gene is known , RT - PCR can be used to map the location of exons and introns in the gene . The 5 ' end of a gene ( corresponding to the transcription start site ) is typically identified by RACE - PCR ( Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends ) . Solid Phase PCR : encompasses multiple meanings , including Polony Amplification ( where PCR colonies are derived in a gel matrix , for example ) , Bridge PCR ( primers are covalently linked to a solid - support surface ) , conventional Solid Phase PCR ( where Asymmetric PCR is applied in the presence of solid support bearing primer with sequence matching one of the aqueous primers ) and Enhanced Solid Phase PCR ( where conventional Solid Phase PCR can be improved by employing high Tm and nested solid support primer with optional application of a thermal ' step ' to favour solid support priming ) . Suicide PCR : typically used in paleogenetics or other studies where avoiding false positives and ensuring the specificity of the amplified fragment is the highest priority . It was originally described in a study to verify the presence of the microbe Yersinia pestis in dental samples obtained from 14th Century graves of people supposedly killed by plague during the medieval Black Death epidemic . The method prescribes the use of any primer combination only once in a PCR ( hence the term `` suicide '' ) , which should never have been used in any positive control PCR reaction , and the primers should always target a genomic region never amplified before in the lab using this or any other set of primers . This ensures that no contaminating DNA from previous PCR reactions is present in the lab , which could otherwise generate false positives . Thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR ( TAIL - PCR ) : for isolation of an unknown sequence flanking a known sequence . Within the known sequence , TAIL - PCR uses a nested pair of primers with differing annealing temperatures ; a degenerate primer is used to amplify in the other direction from the unknown sequence . Touchdown PCR ( Step - down PCR ) : a variant of PCR that aims to reduce nonspecific background by gradually lowering the annealing temperature as PCR cycling progresses . The annealing temperature at the initial cycles is usually a few degrees ( 3 -- 5 ° C ) above the T of the primers used , while at the later cycles , it is a few degrees ( 3 -- 5 ° C ) below the primer T . The higher temperatures give greater specificity for primer binding , and the lower temperatures permit more efficient amplification from the specific products formed during the initial cycles . Universal Fast Walking : for genome walking and genetic fingerprinting using a more specific ' two - sided ' PCR than conventional ' one - sided ' approaches ( using only one gene - specific primer and one general primer -- which can lead to artefactual ' noise ' ) by virtue of a mechanism involving lariat structure formation . Streamlined derivatives of UFW are LaNe RAGE ( lariat - dependent nested PCR for rapid amplification of genomic DNA ends ) , 5'RACE LaNe and 3'RACE LaNe . History ( edit ) Diagrammatic representation of an example primer pair . The use of primers in an in vitro assay to allow DNA synthesis was a major innovation that allowed the development of PCR . Main article : History of polymerase chain reaction A 1971 paper in the Journal of Molecular Biology by Kjell Kleppe ( no ) and co-workers in the laboratory of H. Gobind Khorana first described a method using an enzymatic assay to replicate a short DNA template with primers in vitro . However , this early manifestation of the basic PCR principle did not receive much attention at the time , and the invention of the polymerase chain reaction in 1983 is generally credited to Kary Mullis . `` Baby Blue '' , a 1986 prototype machine for doing PCR When Mullis developed the PCR in 1983 , he was working in Emeryville , California for Cetus Corporation , one of the first biotechnology companies . There , he was responsible for synthesizing short chains of DNA . Mullis has written that he conceived of PCR while cruising along the Pacific Coast Highway one night in his car . He was playing in his mind with a new way of analyzing changes ( mutations ) in DNA when he realized that he had instead invented a method of amplifying any DNA region through repeated cycles of duplication driven by DNA polymerase . In Scientific American , Mullis summarized the procedure : `` Beginning with a single molecule of the genetic material DNA , the PCR can generate 100 billion similar molecules in an afternoon . The reaction is easy to execute . It requires no more than a test tube , a few simple reagents , and a source of heat . '' He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993 for his invention , seven years after he and his colleagues at Cetus first put his proposal to practice . However , some controversies have remained about the intellectual and practical contributions of other scientists to Mullis ' work , and whether he had been the sole inventor of the PCR principle ( see below ) . At the core of the PCR method is the use of a suitable DNA polymerase able to withstand the high temperatures of > 90 ° C ( 194 ° F ) required for separation of the two DNA strands in the DNA double helix after each replication cycle . The DNA polymerases initially employed for in vitro experiments presaging PCR were unable to withstand these high temperatures . So the early procedures for DNA replication were very inefficient and time - consuming , and required large amounts of DNA polymerase and continuous handling throughout the process . The discovery in 1976 of Taq polymerase -- a DNA polymerase purified from the thermophilic bacterium , Thermus aquaticus , which naturally lives in hot ( 50 to 80 ° C ( 122 to 176 ° F ) ) environments such as hot springs -- paved the way for dramatic improvements of the PCR method . The DNA polymerase isolated from T. aquaticus is stable at high temperatures remaining active even after DNA denaturation , thus obviating the need to add new DNA polymerase after each cycle . This allowed an automated thermocycler - based process for DNA amplification . Patent disputes ( edit ) The PCR technique was patented by Kary Mullis and assigned to Cetus Corporation , where Mullis worked when he invented the technique in 1983 . The Taq polymerase enzyme was also covered by patents . There have been several high - profile lawsuits related to the technique , including an unsuccessful lawsuit brought by DuPont . The pharmaceutical company Hoffmann - La Roche purchased the rights to the patents in 1992 and currently holds those that are still protected . A related patent battle over the Taq polymerase enzyme is still ongoing in several jurisdictions around the world between Roche and Promega . The legal arguments have extended beyond the lives of the original PCR and Taq polymerase patents , which expired on March 28 , 2005 .

"Developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis,[2][3] PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in clinical and research laboratories for a broad variety of applications.[4][5] These include DNA cloning for sequencing, gene cloning and manipulation, gene mutagenesis; construction of DNA-based phylogenies, or functional analysis of genes; diagnosis and monitoring of hereditary diseases; amplification of ancient DNA;[6] analysis of genetic fingerprints for DNA profiling (for example, in forensic science and parentage testing); and detection of pathogens in nucleic acid tests for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. In 1993, Mullis was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Michael Smith for his work on PCR.[7]"

Part of the Voyager program , it was launched 16 days before its twin , Voyager 1 , on a trajectory that took longer to reach Jupiter and Saturn but enabled further encounters with Uranus and Neptune . It is the only spacecraft to have visited either of the ice giants . Its primary mission ended with the exploration of the Neptunian system on October 2 , 1989 , after having visited the Uranian system in 1986 , the Saturnian system in 1981 , and the Jovian system in 1979 . Voyager 2 is now in its extended mission to study the outer reaches of the Solar System and has been operating for 41 years , 2 months and 10 days as of October 30 , 2018 . It remains in contact through the Deep Space Network . At a distance of 118 AU ( 1.77 × 10 km ) from the Sun as of July 10 , 2018 , Voyager 2 is the fourth of five spacecraft to achieve the escape velocity that will allow them to leave the Solar System . The probe was moving at a velocity of 15.3741 km / s ( 55,347 km / h ) relative to the Sun as of July 2018 and is traveling through the heliosheath . Upon reaching interstellar space , Voyager 2 is expected to provide the first direct measurements of the density and temperature of the interstellar plasma .

NASA began work on a Grand Tour , which evolved into a massive project involving two groups of two probes each , with one group visiting Jupiter , Saturn , and Pluto and the other Jupiter , Uranus , and Neptune . The spacecraft would be designed with redundant systems to ensure survival through the entire tour . By 1972 the mission was scaled back and replaced with two Mariner - derived spacecraft , the Mariner Jupiter - Saturn probes . To keep apparent lifetime program costs low , the mission would include only flybys of Jupiter and Saturn , but keep the Grand Tour option open . As the program progressed , the name was changed to Voyager . The primary mission of Voyager 1 was to explore Jupiter , Saturn , and Saturn 's moon , Titan . Voyager 2 was also to explore Jupiter and Saturn , but on a trajectory that would have option of continuing on to Uranus and Neptune , or being redirected to Titan as a backup for Voyager 1 . Upon successful completion of Voyager 1 's objectives , Voyager 2 would get a mission extension to send the probe on towards Uranus and Neptune . Spacecraft design ( edit ) Constructed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory ( JPL ) , Voyager 2 included 16 hydrazine thrusters , three - axis stabilization , gyroscopes and celestial referencing instruments ( Sun sensor / Canopus Star Tracker ) to maintain pointing of the high - gain antenna toward Earth . Collectively these instruments are part of the Attitude and Articulation Control Subsystem ( AACS ) along with redundant units of most instruments and 8 backup thrusters . The spacecraft also included 11 scientific instruments to study celestial objects as it traveled through space . Communications ( edit ) Built with the intent for eventual interstellar travel , Voyager 2 included a large , 3.7 m ( 12 ft ) parabolic , high - gain antenna ( see diagram ) to transceive data via the Deep Space Network on the Earth . Communications are conducted over the S - band ( about 13 cm wavelength ) and X-band ( about 3.6 cm wavelength ) providing data rates as high as 115.2 kilobits per second at the distance of Jupiter , and then ever - decreasing as the distance increased , because of the inverse - square law . When the spacecraft is unable to communicate with Earth , the Digital Tape Recorder ( DTR ) can record about 64 kilobytes of data for transmission at another time . Power ( edit ) The spacecraft was equipped with 3 Multihundred - Watt radioisotope thermoelectric generators ( MHW RTG ) . Each RTG includes 24 pressed plutonium oxide spheres , and provided enough heat to generate approximately 157 W of electrical power at launch . Collectively , the RTGs supplied the spacecraft with 470 watts at launch ( halving every 87.7 years ) , and will allow operations to continue until at least 2020 .

Launch and trajectory ( edit ) The Voyager 2 probe was launched on August 20 , 1977 , by NASA from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral , Florida , aboard a Titan IIIE / Centaur launch vehicle . Two weeks later , the twin Voyager 1 probe would be launched on September 5 , 1977 . However , Voyager 1 would reach both Jupiter and Saturn sooner , as Voyager 2 had been launched into a longer , more circular trajectory .

Plot of Voyager 2 's heliocentric velocity against its distance from the Sun , illustrating the use of gravity assists to accelerate the spacecraft by Jupiter , Saturn and Uranus . To observe Triton , Voyager 2 passed over Neptune 's north pole , resulting in an acceleration out of the plane of the ecliptic , and , as a result , a reduced velocity relative to the Sun . In April 1978 , a complication arose when no commands were transmitted to Voyager 2 for a period of time , causing the spacecraft to switch from its primary radio receiver to its backup receiver . Sometime afterwards , the primary receiver failed altogether . The backup receiver was functional , but a failed capacitor in the receiver meant that it could only receive transmissions that were sent at a precise frequency , and this frequency would be affected by the Earth 's rotation ( due to the Doppler effect ) and the onboard receiver 's temperature , among other things . For each subsequent transmission to Voyager 2 , it was necessary for engineers to calculate the specific frequency for the signal so that it could be received by the spacecraft . Encounter with Jupiter ( edit ) Main article : Exploration of Jupiter The trajectory of Voyager 2 through the Jupiter system Voyager 2 's closest approach to Jupiter occurred on July 9 , 1979 . It came within 570,000 km ( 350,000 mi ) of the planet 's cloud tops . It discovered a few rings around Jupiter , as well as volcanic activity on the moon Io . The Great Red Spot was revealed as a complex storm moving in a counterclockwise direction . An array of other smaller storms and eddies were found throughout the banded clouds . Discovery of active volcanism on Io was easily the greatest unexpected discovery at Jupiter . It was the first time active volcanoes had been seen on another body in the Solar System . Together , the Voyagers observed the eruption of nine volcanoes on Io , and there is evidence that other eruptions occurred between the two Voyager fly - bys . The moon Europa displayed a large number of intersecting linear features in the low - resolution photos from Voyager 1 . At first , scientists believed the features might be deep cracks , caused by crustal rifting or tectonic processes . The closer high - resolution photos from Voyager 2 , however , left scientists puzzled : The features were so lacking in topographic relief that as one scientist described them , they `` might have been painted on with a felt marker . '' Europa is internally active due to tidal heating at a level about one - tenth that of Io . Europa is thought to have a thin crust ( less than 30 km ( 19 mi ) thick ) of water ice , possibly floating on a 50 - kilometer - deep ( 30 mile ) ocean . Two new , small satellites , Adrastea and Metis , were found orbiting just outside the ring . A third new satellite , Thebe , was discovered between the orbits of Amalthea and Io .

Media related to the Voyager 2 Jupiter encounter at Wikimedia Commons Encounter with Saturn ( edit ) Main article : Exploration of Saturn The closest approach to Saturn occurred on August 26 , 1981 . While passing behind Saturn ( as viewed from Earth ) , Voyager 2 probed Saturn 's upper atmosphere with its radio link to gather information on atmospheric temperature and density profiles . Voyager 2 found that at the uppermost pressure levels ( seven kilopascals of pressure ) , Saturn 's temperature was 70 kelvins ( − 203 ° C ) , while at the deepest levels measured ( 120 kilopascals ) the temperature increased to 143 K ( − 130 ° C ) . The north pole was found to be 10 kelvins cooler , although this may be seasonal ( see also Saturn Oppositions ) . After the fly - by of Saturn , the camera platform of Voyager 2 locked up briefly , putting plans to officially extend the mission to Uranus and Neptune in jeopardy . The mission 's engineers were able to fix the problem ( caused by an overuse that temporarily depleted its lubricant ) , and the Voyager 2 probe was given the go - ahead to explore the Uranian system .

( August 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : Exploration of Uranus The closest approach to Uranus occurred on January 24 , 1986 , when Voyager 2 came within 81,500 kilometers ( 50,600 mi ) of the planet 's cloud tops . Voyager 2 also discovered the moons Cordelia , Ophelia , Bianca , Cressida , Desdemona , Juliet , Portia , Rosalind , Belinda , Perdita and Puck ; studied the planet 's unique atmosphere , caused by its axial tilt of 97.8 ° ; and examined the Uranian ring system . Uranus is the third largest ( Neptune has a larger mass , but a smaller volume ) planet in the Solar System . It orbits the Sun at a distance of about 2.8 billion kilometers ( 1.7 billion miles ) , and it completes one orbit every 84 Earth years . The length of a day on Uranus as measured by Voyager 2 is 17 hours , 14 minutes . Uranus is unique among the planets in that its axial tilt is about 90 ° , meaning that its axis is roughly parallel with , instead of roughly perpendicular to , the plane of the ecliptic . This extremely large tilt of its axis is thought to be the result of a collision between the accumulating planet Uranus with another planet - sized body early in the history of the Solar System . Given the unusual orientation of its axis , with the polar regions of Uranus exposed for periods of many years to either continuous sunlight or darkness , planetary scientists were not at all sure what to expect when observing Uranus . Voyager 2 found that one of the most striking effects of the sideways orientation of Uranus is the effect on the tail of the planetary magnetic field . This is itself tilted about 60 ° from the Uranian axis of rotation . The planet 's magneto tail was shown to be twisted by the rotation of Uranus into a long corkscrew shape following the planet . The presence of a significant magnetic field for Uranus was not at all known until Voyager 2 's arrival . The radiation belts of Uranus were found to be of an intensity similar to those of Saturn . The intensity of radiation within the Uranian belts is such that irradiation would `` quickly '' darken -- within 100,000 years -- any methane that is trapped in the icy surfaces of the inner moons and ring particles . This kind of darkening might have contributed to the darkened surfaces of the moons and the ring particles , which are almost uniformly dark gray in color . A high layer of haze was detected around the sunlit pole of Uranus . This area was also found to radiate large amounts of ultraviolet light , a phenomenon that is called `` dayglow . '' The average atmospheric temperature is about 60 K ( − 350 ° F / − 213 ° C ) . Surprisingly , the illuminated and dark poles , and most of the planet , exhibit nearly the same temperatures at the cloud tops . The Uranian moon Miranda , the innermost of the five large moons , was discovered to be one of the strangest bodies yet seen in the Solar System . Detailed images from Voyager 2 's flyby of Miranda showed huge canyons made from geological faults as deep as 20 kilometers ( 12 mi ) , terraced layers , and a mixture of old and young surfaces . One hypothesis suggests that Miranda might consist of a reaggregation of material following an earlier event when Miranda was shattered into pieces by a violent impact . All nine of the previously known Uranian rings were studied by the instruments of Voyager 2 . These measurements showed that the Uranian rings are distinctly different from those at Jupiter and Saturn . The Uranian ring system might be relatively young , and it did not form at the same time that Uranus did . The particles that make up the rings might be the remnants of a moon that was broken up by either a high - velocity impact or torn up by tidal effects .

Media related to the Voyager 2 Uranus encounter at Wikimedia Commons Encounter with Neptune ( edit ) Main article : Exploration of Neptune Following a mid-course correction in 1987 , Voyager 2 's closest approach to Neptune occurred on August 25 , 1989 . Because this was the last planet of the Solar System that Voyager 2 could visit , the Chief Project Scientist , his staff members , and the flight controllers decided to also perform a close fly - by of Triton , the larger of Neptune 's two originally known moons , so as to gather as much information on Neptune and Triton as possible , regardless of Voyager 2 's departure angle from the planet . This was just like the case of Voyager 1 's encounters with Saturn and its massive moon Titan . Through repeated computerized test simulations of trajectories through the Neptunian system conducted in advance , flight controllers determined the best way to route Voyager 2 through the Neptune - Triton system . Since the plane of the orbit of Triton is tilted significantly with respect to the plane of the ecliptic , through mid-course corrections , Voyager 2 was directed into a path about three thousand miles above the north pole of Neptune . At that time , Triton was behind and below ( south of ) Neptune ( at an angle of about 25 degrees below the ecliptic ) , close to the apoapsis of its elliptical orbit . The gravitational pull of Neptune bent the trajectory of Voyager 2 down in the direction of Triton . In less than 24 hours , Voyager 2 traversed the distance between Neptune and Triton , and then observed Triton 's northern hemisphere as it passed over its north pole . The net and final effect on Voyager 2 was to bend its trajectory south below the plane of the ecliptic by about 30 degrees . Voyager 2 is on this path permanently , and hence , it is exploring space south of the plane of the ecliptic , measuring magnetic fields , charged particles , etc. , there , and sending the measurements back to the Earth via telemetry . While in the neighborhood of Neptune , Voyager 2 discovered the `` Great Dark Spot '' , which has since disappeared , according to observations by the Hubble Space Telescope . Originally thought to be a large cloud itself , the `` Great Dark Spot '' was later hypothesized to be a hole in the visible cloud deck of Neptune . With the decision of the International Astronomical Union to reclassify Pluto as a `` dwarf planet '' in 2006 , the flyby of Neptune by Voyager 2 in 1989 became the point when every known planet in the Solar System had been visited at least once by a space probe .

Media related to the Voyager 2 Neptune encounter at Wikimedia Commons Interstellar mission ( edit ) Once its planetary mission was over , Voyager 2 was described as working on an interstellar mission , which NASA is using to find out what the Solar System is like beyond the heliosphere . Voyager 2 is currently transmitting scientific data at about 160 bits per second . Information about continuing telemetry exchanges with Voyager 2 is available from Voyager Weekly Reports . Map showing location and trajectories of the Pioneer 10 , Pioneer 11 , Voyager 1 , and Voyager 2 spacecraft , as of April 4 , 2007 . In 1992 Voyager 2 observed the nova V1974 Cygni in the far - ultraviolet . In July 2004 an attempt was made to observe the impacts fragments of the comet Comet Shoemaker -- Levy 9 with Jupiter . The craft 's position meant it had a direct line of sight to the impacts and observations were made in the ultraviolet and radio spectrum . Voyager 2 failed to detect anything with calculations showing that the fireballs were just below the craft 's limit of detection . On November 29 , 2006 , a telemetered command to Voyager 2 was incorrectly decoded by its on - board computer -- in a random error -- as a command to turn on the electrical heaters of the spacecraft 's magnetometer . These heaters remained turned on until December 4 , 2006 , and during that time , there was a resulting high temperature above 130 ° C ( 266 ° F ) , significantly higher than the magnetometers were designed to endure , and a sensor rotated away from the correct orientation . As of this date it had not been possible to fully diagnose and correct for the damage caused to Voyager 2 's magnetometer , although efforts to do so were proceeding . On August 30 , 2007 , Voyager 2 passed the termination shock and then entered into the heliosheath , approximately 1 billion miles ( 1.6 billion km ) closer to the Sun than Voyager 1 did . This is due to the interstellar magnetic field of deep space . The southern hemisphere of the Solar System 's heliosphere is being pushed in . On April 22 , 2010 , Voyager 2 encountered scientific data format problems . On May 17 , 2010 , JPL engineers revealed that a flipped bit in an on - board computer had caused the issue , and scheduled a bit reset for May 19 . On May 23 , 2010 , Voyager 2 resumed sending science data from deep space after engineers fixed the flipped bit . Currently research is being made into marking the area of memory with the flipped bit off limits or disallowing its use . The Low - Energy Charged Particle Instrument is currently operational , and data from this instrument concerning charged particles is being transmitted to Earth . This data permits measurements of the heliosheath and termination shock . There has also been a modification to the on - board flight software to delay turning off the AP Branch 2 backup heater for one year . It was scheduled to go off February 2 , 2011 ( DOY 033 , 2011 -- 033 ) . Simulated view of the position of Voyager 2 as of February 8 , 2012 showing spacecraft trajectory since launch On July 25 , 2012 , Voyager 2 was traveling at 15.447 km / s relative to the Sun at about 99.13 astronomical units ( 1.4830 × 10 km ) from the Sun , at − 55.29 ° declination and 19.888 h right ascension , and also at an ecliptic latitude of − 34.0 degrees , placing it in the constellation Telescopium as observed from Earth . This location places it deep in the scattered disc , and traveling outward at roughly 3.264 AU per year . It is more than twice as far from the Sun as Pluto , and far beyond the perihelion of 90377 Sedna , but not yet beyond the outer limits of the orbit of the dwarf planet Eris . On September 9 , 2012 , Voyager 2 was 99.077 AU ( 1.48217 × 10 km ; 9.2098 × 10 mi ) from the Earth and 99.504 AU ( 1.48856 × 10 km ; 9.2495 × 10 mi ) from the Sun ; and traveling at 15.436 km / s ( 34,530 mph ) ( relative to the Sun ) and traveling outward at about 3.256 AU per year . Sunlight takes 13.73 hours to get to Voyager 2 . The brightness of the Sun from the spacecraft is magnitude - 16.7 . Voyager 2 is heading in the direction of the constellation Telescopium . ( To compare , Proxima Centauri , the closest star to the Sun , is about 4.2 light - years ( or 7016396434357355000 ♠ 2.65 × 10 AU ) distant . Voyager 2 's current relative velocity to the Sun is 15.436 km / s ( 55,570 km / h ; 34,530 mph ) . This calculates as 3.254 AU per year , about 10 % slower than Voyager 1 . At this velocity , 81,438 years would pass before Voyager 2 reaches the nearest star , Proxima Centauri , were the spacecraft traveling in the direction of that star . ( Voyager 2 will need about 19,390 years at its current velocity to travel a complete light year ) On November 7 , 2012 , Voyager 2 reached 100 AU from the sun , making it the third human - made object to reach 100 AU . Voyager 1 was 122 AU from the Sun , and Pioneer 10 is presumed to be at 107 AU . While Pioneer has ceased communications , both the Voyager spacecraft are performing well and are still communicating . The current position of Voyagers as of early 2013 . Note the vast distances condensed into an exponential scale : Earth is 1 astronomical unit ( AU ) from the Sun ; Saturn is at 9 AU , and the heliopause is at more than 100 AU . Neptune is 30.1 AU from the Sun ; thus the edge of interstellar space is more than three times as far from the Sun as the last planet . In 2013 Voyager 1 was escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.6 AU per year , while Voyager 2 was only escaping at 3.3 AU per year . ( Each year Voyager 1 increases its lead over Voyager 2 ) By July 10 , 2018 , Voyager 2 was at a distance of 118 AU ( 1.77 × 10 km ) from the Sun . There is a variation in distance from Earth caused by the Earth 's revolution around the Sun relative to Voyager 2 . Future of the probe ( edit ) It was originally thought that Voyager 2 would enter interstellar space in early 2016 , with its plasma spectrometer providing the first direct measurements of the density and temperature of the interstellar plasma . However , the spacecraft may instead reach interstellar space sometime in either late 2019 or early 2020 , when it will reach a similar distance from the Sun as Voyager 1 did when it crossed into interstellar space back in 2012 . Voyager 2 is not headed toward any particular star , although in roughly 40,000 years it should pass 1.7 light - years from the star Ross 248 . And if undisturbed for 296,000 years , Voyager 2 should pass by the star Sirius at a distance of 4.3 light - years . Voyager 2 is expected to keep transmitting weak radio messages until at least 2025 , over 48 years after it was launched .

Despite the name change , Voyager remained in many ways the Grand Tour concept , though certainly not the Grand Tour ( TOPS ) spacecraft . Voyager 2 was launched on August 20 , 1977 , followed by Voyager 1 on September 5 , 1977 . The decision to reverse the order of launch had to do with keeping open the possibility of carrying out the Grand Tour mission to Uranus , Neptune , and beyond . Voyager 2 , if boosted by the maximum performance from the Titan - Centaur , could just barely catch the old Grand Tour trajectory and encounter Uranus . Two weeks later , Voyager 1 would leave on an easier and much faster trajectory , visiting Jupiter and Saturn only . Voyager 1 would arrive at Jupiter four months ahead of Voyager 2 , then arrive at Saturn nine months earlier . Hence , the second spacecraft launched was Voyager 1 , not Voyager 2 . The two Voyagers would arrive at Saturn nine months apart , so that if Voyager 1 failed to achieve its Saturn objectives , for whatever reason , Voyager 2 still could be retargeted to achieve them , though at the expense of any subsequent Uranus or Neptune encounter .

"On August 30, 2007, Voyager 2 passed the termination shock and then entered into the heliosheath, approximately 1 billion miles (1.6 billion km) closer to the Sun than Voyager 1 did.[34] This is due to the interstellar magnetic field of deep space. The southern hemisphere of the Solar System's heliosphere is being pushed in.[35]\n"

-2788418995268435210 | Brown recluse spider | Brown recluse spider - wikipedia Brown recluse spider Jump to : navigation , search For the spider ranging from southeastern California to Arizona , see desert recluse . For the spider inhabiting Hawaii , see Mediterranean recluse spider . Brown recluse Scientific classification Kingdom : Animalia Phylum : Arthropoda Subphylum : Chelicerata Class : Arachnida Order : Araneae Infraorder : Araneomorphae Family : Sicariidae Genus : Loxosceles Species : L. reclusa Binomial name Loxosceles reclusa Gertsch & Mulaik , 1940 Synonyms Loxosceles reclusus orthographic variant The brown recluse , Loxosceles reclusa , Sicariidae ( formerly placed in a family `` Loxoscelidae '' ) is a recluse spider with a necrotic venom . Similar to other recluse spider bites , their bite sometimes requires medical attention . The brown recluse is one of three spiders ( the others being black widow and Loxosceles laeta , the Chilean recluse ) with medically significant venom in North America . Brown recluse spiders are usually between 6 and 20 millimetres ( 0.24 and 0.79 in ) , but may grow larger . While typically light to medium brown , they range in color from whitish to dark brown or blackish gray . The cephalothorax and abdomen are not necessarily the same color . These spiders usually have markings on the dorsal side of their cephalothorax , with a black line coming from it that looks like a violin with the neck of the violin pointing to the rear of the spider , resulting in the nicknames fiddleback spider , brown fiddler , or violin spider . Contents ( hide ) 1 Description 2 Life - cycle 3 Behavior 4 Habitat 5 Distribution 6 Bite 6.1 Misdiagnosis 6.2 Bite treatment 6.2. 1 Specific treatments 6.2. 2 Spider Population Control 7 References 8 External links Description ( edit ) The brown recluse . The brown recluse has three pairs of eyes , unlike most spiders . The violin pattern is not diagnostic , as other spiders can have similar markings ( e.g. cellar spiders and pirate spiders ) . For definitive identification it is imperative to examine the eyes . While most spiders have eight eyes , recluse spiders have six eyes arranged in pairs ( dyads ) with one medial pair and two lateral pairs . Only a few other spiders have three pairs of eyes arranged in this way ( e.g. , scytodids ) . Recluses have no obvious coloration patterns on the abdomen or legs , and the legs lack spines . The abdomen is covered with fine short hairs that , when viewed without magnification , give the appearance of soft fur . The leg joints may appear to be a slightly lighter color . Life - cycle ( edit ) Adult brown recluse spiders often live about one to two years . Each female produces several egg sacs over a period of two to three months , from May to July , with approximately fifty eggs in each sac . The eggs hatch in about one month . The spiderlings take about one year to grow to adulthood . The brown recluse spider is resilient and can tolerate up to six months of extreme drought and scarcity or absence of food . On one occasion , a brown recluse survived in controlled captivity for over five seasons without any food at all . Behavior ( edit ) A brown recluse 's stance on a flat surface is usually with all legs radially extended . When alarmed it may lower its body , withdraw the forward two legs straight rearward into a defensive position , withdraw the rearmost pair of legs into a position for lunging forward , and stand motionless with pedipalps raised . The pedipalps in mature specimens are dark and quite prominent and are normally held horizontally forward . When threatened it usually flees , seemingly to avoid a conflict , and if detained may further avoid contact with quick horizontal rotating movements or even resort to assuming a lifeless pose ( playing dead ) . The spider does not usually jump unless touched brusquely , and even then its avoidance movement is more of a horizontal lunge rather than a vaulting of itself entirely off the surface . When running , the brown recluse does not leave a silk line behind , which would make it more easily tracked when it is being pursued . Movement at virtually any speed is an evenly paced gait with legs extended . When missing a leg or two it appears to favor this same gait , although ( presumably when a leg has been injured ) it may move and stand at rest with one leg slightly withdrawn . During travel it stops naturally and periodically when renewing its internal hydraulic blood pressure that , like most spiders , it requires to renew strength in its legs . Habitat ( edit ) Brown recluse on cardboard box . Brown recluse spiders build asymmetrical ( irregular ) webs that frequently include a shelter consisting of disorderly thread . They frequently build their webs in woodpiles and sheds , closets , garages , plenum spaces , cellars , and other places that are dry and generally undisturbed . When dwelling in human residences they seem to favor cardboard , possibly because it mimics the rotting tree bark which they inhabit naturally . They have also been encountered in shoes , inside dressers , in bed sheets of infrequently used beds , in clothes stacked or piled or left lying on the floor , inside work gloves , behind baseboards and pictures , in toilets , and near sources of warmth when ambient temperatures are lower than usual . Human - recluse contact often occurs when such isolated spaces are disturbed and the spider feels threatened . Unlike most web weavers , they leave these lairs at night to hunt . Males move around more when hunting than the females , which tend to remain nearer to their webs . The spider will hunt for firebrats , crickets , cockroaches , and other soft - bodied insects . Distribution ( edit ) A large brown recluse compared to a US penny ( diameter 0.75 inches , 19.05 mm ) The range lies roughly south of a line from southeastern Nebraska through southern Iowa , Illinois , and Indiana to southwestern Ohio . In the southern states , it is native from central Texas to western Georgia and north to Kentucky . Despite rumors to the contrary , the brown recluse spider has not established itself in California or anywhere outside its native range . This directly contradicts numerous sensationalized media reports of bites occurring where these spiders are absent ( and no specimens were found ) , such as a 2014 report from Thailand , where a man was claimed to have died from a brown recluse bite . Over the last century , occasional spiders have been intercepted in various locations where they have no known established populations ; these spiders may be transported fairly easily , though the lack of established populations well outside the natural range also indicates that such movement has not led to colonization of new areas , after decades of opportunities . Note that the occurrence of brown recluses in a single building ( such as a warehouse ) outside of the native range is not considered a successful colonization ; such single - building populations can occur ( e.g. , in several such cases in Florida ) , but do not spread , and can be easily eradicated . There are other species of the genus Loxosceles native to the southwestern part of the United States , including California , that may resemble the brown recluse , but these species have never been documented as medically significant . The number of `` false positive '' reports based on misidentifications is considerable ; in a nationwide study where people submitted spiders that they thought were brown recluses , of 581 from California only 1 was a brown recluse -- submitted by a family that moved from Missouri and brought it with them ( compared to specimens submitted from Missouri , Kansas , and Oklahoma , where between 75 % and 90 % were recluses ) . From this study , the most common spider submitted from California as a brown recluse was in the genus Titiotus , whose bite is deemed harmless . A similar study documented that various arachnids were routinely misidentified by physicians , pest control operators , and other non-expert authorities , who told their patients or clients that the spider they had was a brown recluse when in fact it was not . Despite the absence of brown recluses from the Western U.S. , physicians in the region commonly diagnose `` brown recluse bites '' , leading to the popular misconception that the spiders inhabit those areas . Bite ( edit ) Main article : Loxoscelism The bite frequently is not felt initially and may not be immediately painful , but it can be serious . The brown recluse bears a potentially deadly hemotoxic venom . Most bites are minor with no necrosis . However , a small number of brown recluse bites do produce severe dermonecrotic lesions ( i.e. necrosis ) ; an even smaller number produce severe cutaneous ( skin ) or viscerocutaneous ( systemic ) symptoms . In one study of clinically diagnosed brown recluse bites , skin necrosis occurred 37 % of the time , while systemic illness occurred 14 % of the time . In these cases , the bites produced a range of symptoms common to many members of the Loxosceles genus known as loxoscelism , which may be cutaneous and viscerocutaneous . In very rare cases , bites can even cause hemolysis -- the bursting of red blood cells . As suggested by its specific epithet reclusa ( recluse ) , the brown recluse spider is rarely aggressive , and bites from the species are uncommon . In 2001 , more than 2,000 brown recluse spiders were removed from a heavily infested home in Kansas , yet the four residents who had lived there for years were never harmed by the spiders , despite many encounters with them . The spider usually bites only when pressed against the skin , such as when tangled within clothes , towels , bedding , inside work gloves , etc . Many human victims report having been bitten after putting on clothes that had not been worn recently , or had been left for many days undisturbed on the floor . The fangs of the brown recluse are so tiny they are unable to penetrate most fabric . Around 49 % of brown recluse bites do not result in necrosis or systemic effects . When both types of loxoscelism do result , systemic effects may occur before necrosis , as the venom spreads throughout the body in minutes . Children , the elderly , and the debilitatingly ill may be more susceptible to systemic loxoscelism . The systemic symptoms most commonly experienced include nausea , vomiting , fever , rashes , and muscle and joint pain . Rarely , such bites can result in hemolysis , thrombocytopenia , disseminated intravascular coagulation , organ damage , and even death . Most fatalities are in children under the age of seven or those with a weak immune system . While the majority of brown recluse spider bites do not result in any symptoms , cutaneous symptoms occur more frequently than systemic symptoms . In such instances , the bite forms a necrotizing ulcer as the result of soft tissue destruction and may take months to heal , leaving deep scars . These bites usually become painful and itchy within 2 to 8 hours . Pain and other local effects worsen 12 to 36 hours after the bite , and the necrosis develops over the next few days . Over time , the wound may grow to as large as 25 cm ( 10 inches ) . The damaged tissue becomes gangrenous and eventually sloughs away . Misdiagnosis ( edit ) There is now an ELISA - based test for brown recluse venom that can determine whether a wound is a brown recluse bite , although it is not commercially available and not in routine clinical use . Clinical diagnoses often use Occam 's razor principle in diagnosing bites based on what spiders the patient likely encountered and previous similar diagnoses . A new mnemonic device , `` NOT RECLUSE '' , has been suggested as a tool to help laymen and medical professionals more objectively screen and diagnose potential cases of loxoscelism . There are numerous documented infectious and noninfectious conditions that produce wounds that have been initially misdiagnosed as recluse bites by medical professionals , including : Pyoderma gangrenosum Infection by Staphylococcus Infection by Streptococcus Herpes Diabetic ulcers Fungal infection Chemical burns Toxicodendron dermatitis Squamous cell carcinoma Localized vasculitis Syphilis Toxic epidermal necrolysis Sporotrichosis Lyme disease Many of these conditions are far more common and more likely to be the source of necrotic wounds , even in areas where brown recluse spiders actually occur . The most important of these is methicillin - resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA ) , a bacterium whose necrotic lesions are very similar to those induced by recluse bites , and which can be lethal if left untreated . Misdiagnosis of MRSA as spider bites is extremely common ( nearly 30 % of patients with MRSA reported that they initially suspected a spider bite ) , and can have fatal consequences . Reported cases of brown recluse bites occur primarily in Arkansas , Colorado , Kansas , Missouri , Nebraska , Oklahoma , and Texas . There have been many reports of brown recluse bites in California -- though a few related species may be found there , none of these are known to bite humans . To date , the reports of bites from areas outside of the spider 's native range have been either unverified , or , if verified , the spiders have been moved to those locations by travelers or commerce . Many arachnologists believe that a large number of bites attributed to the brown recluse in the West Coast are either from other spider species or not spider bites at all . For example , the venom of the hobo spider , a common European species established in the northwestern United States and southern British Columbia , has been reported to produce similar symptoms as the brown recluse bite when injected into laboratory rabbits . However , the toxicity of hobo spider venom has been called into question as actual bites have not been shown to cause necrosis , and no such occurrences have ever been reported where the spider is native . Numerous other spiders have been associated with necrotic bites in medical literature . Other recluse species , such as the desert recluse ( found in the deserts of southwestern United States ) , are reported to have caused necrotic bite wounds , though only rarely . The hobo spider and the yellow sac spider have also been reported to cause necrotic bites . However , the bites from these spiders are not known to produce the severe symptoms that can follow from a recluse spider bite , and the level of danger posed by these has been called into question . So far , no known necrotoxins have been isolated from the venom of any of these spiders , and some arachnologists have disputed the accuracy of spider identifications carried out by bite victims , family members , medical responders , and other non-experts in arachnology . There have been several studies questioning the danger posed by some of these spiders . In these studies , scientists examined case studies of bites in which the spider in question was identified by an expert , and found that the incidence of necrotic injury diminished significantly when `` questionable '' identifications were excluded from the sample set . ( For a comparison of the toxicity of several kinds of spider bites , see the list of spiders having medically significant venom . ) Bite treatment ( edit ) First aid involves the application of an ice pack to control inflammation and prompt medical care . If it can be easily captured , the spider should be brought with the patient in a clear , tightly closed container so it may be identified . Routine treatment should include immobilization of the affected limb , application of ice , local wound care , and tetanus prophylaxis . Many other therapies have been used with varying degrees of success , including hyperbaric oxygen , dapsone , antihistamines ( e.g. , cyproheptadine ) , antibiotics , dextran , glucocorticoids , vasodilators , heparin , nitroglycerin , electric shock , curettage , surgical excision , and antivenom . None of these treatments have been subjected to randomized controlled trials to conclusively show benefit . In almost all cases , bites are self - limited and typically heal without any medical intervention . Outpatient palliative care following discharge often consists of a weak or moderate strength opioid ( e.g. codeine or tramadol , respectively ) depending on pain scores , an anti-inflammatory agent ( e.g. naproxen , cortisone ) , and an antispasmodic ( e.g. cyclobenzaprine , diazepam ) , for a few days to a week . If the pain and / or spasms have not resolved by this time , a second medical evaluation is generally advised , and differential diagnoses may be considered . Occasionally , an antibiotic is prescribed as well . Cases of brown recluse venom travelling along a limb through a vein or artery are rare , but the resulting tissue mortification can affect an area as large as several inches and in extreme cases require excising of the wound . Specific treatments ( edit ) In presumed cases of recluse bites , dapsone is often used for the treatment of necrosis , but controlled clinical trials have yet to demonstrate efficacy . However , dapsone may be effective in treating many `` spider bites '' because many such cases are actually misdiagnosed microbial infections . There have been conflicting reports about its efficacy in treating brown recluse bites , and some have suggested it should no longer be used routinely , if at all . Wound infection is rare . Antibiotics are not recommended unless there is a credible diagnosis of infection . Studies have shown that surgical intervention is ineffective and may worsen outcome . Excision may delay wound healing , cause abscesses , and lead to scarring . Purportedly application of nitroglycerin stopped necrosis . However , one scientific animal study found no benefit in preventing necrosis , with the study 's results showing it increased inflammation and caused symptoms of systemic envenoming . The authors concluded the results of the study did not support the use of topical nitroglycerin in brown recluse envenoming . Antivenom is available in South America for the venom of related species of recluse spiders . However , the bites , often being painless , usually do not present symptoms until 24 or more hours after the event , possibly limiting the effect of this intervention . Spider population control ( edit ) Due to increased fear of these spiders prompted by greater public awareness of their presence in recent years , extermination of domestic brown recluses is performed frequently in the lower midwestern United States . Brown recluse spiders possess a variety of adaptive abilities , including the ability to maintain homeostasis for several seasons with no food or water . Additionally , these spiders survive significantly longer in a relatively cool , thermally stable environment . The most important precaution is to remove and reduce trash and rubbish from your property , such as woodpiles , boxes , plywood , tires , and trash cans -- especially if they are stored right next to the house . With attached garages , block off house access by sealing cracks around doors and access holes for electrical conduits or plumbing . In the Midwest , some brown recluse bites occur when a sleeping person rolls over during the night , and the trapped spider bites . In the bedroom , move the bed away from the wall , remove any skirts or ruffles and remove all items stored under it . This minimizes chances that any spider can crawl onto the bed . Do not leave clothes and shoes on the floor , or shake them before dressing if they are left out . Apparel and equipment that is only occasionally worn should be stored in tightly closed plastic bags , especially if stored in the garage or other dark storage areas . Typically , pesticide control of spiders is difficult . There are various insecticides available in retail outlets labeled for spider control . However , spiders ' perched legs allow them to walk over most pesticides , making the use of chemicals to eradicate the spiders impractical and unnecessarily toxic . A 2014 study indicates that fumigation may be more effective than previously believed . Sticky traps placed along floor boards offer a non-insecticidal way to trap spiders as well as provide an idea of population levels in the structure .

Written and performed by Ben Gibbard , it is an acoustic solo ballad , and was recorded in monaural with a single microphone and little editing . The single was released on Atlantic Records , becoming one of Death Cab for Cutie 's lowest - charting singles , peaking number 28 on the Modern Rock Tracks , number 66 on the UK Singles Chart and failing to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 ; however , `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' was certified as gold by the Recording Industry Association of America , and is the band 's best - selling single to - date . Despite charting lower than other singles , the single is still one of the band 's most played songs on commercial radio stations . The song 's popularity has led it to be featured in a various television shows and movies , and has been covered by numerous artists . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Recording 3 Music videos 4 Release 5 Reception 5.1 Critical reception 5.2 Commercial reception 6 Usage in the media 7 Chart positions 8 Cover versions 9 References 10 External links Background ( edit ) The song was written entirely by Death Cab for Cutie 's lead singer and guitarist Ben Gibbard . Nearing age 29 , Gibbard had never lost anyone really special in his life . Growing older during an ideal and comfortable time of his life led him to begin obsessing over death , the afterlife , and the weight of his relationships . He started to take stock of the importance of the people in his life and felt a need to say something about it , writing the song to deal with his problems of focusing on life by expanding his scope to include death and what comes afterward . `` It 's just this idea that what if somebody dies and we 're just floating , just stumbling around in infinite darkness , and I 'm just trying to find some kind of spiritual kind of peace with myself , and the world . '' -- Ben Gibbard Recording ( edit ) Originally planned to be recorded later in the sessions for Plans , technical issues arose with one set of headphones while tracking the vocals for a different song . Producer and guitarist Chris Walla told Gibbard to take a break while the issues were being addressed . Gibbard picked up his guitar and began playing `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' , which was still going through the vocal microphone . Walla was impressed by the sound , leading him to suggest they do a quick tracking of the performance . It was this mono recording , with the only editing being mild compression and de-essing , that was eventually featured on the album and released as a single . Due to the impromptu nature of the recording , the vocals on the track are mixed louder than the guitar , and Gibbard 's breathing can be heard at the start of the song . Music videos ( edit ) In this screenshot of the main music video , Ben Gibbard plays his guitar in a sparse room while the ever - widening hole in the floor dominates the foreground . Two music videos were created for `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' : The main music video , filmed in Romania and directed by Jamie Thraves , features Ben Gibbard in a small sparsely decorated apartment , playing the song while sitting on his bed when he notices a hole in the wooden floor . Gibbard goes about daily activities while avoiding the constantly expanding hole , eventually rolling out of bed into it , hanging on by his fingertips . He finally lets go , only to land unharmed on solid ground within the void about as deep as his height . The song ends with Gibbard walking into the darkness , then pans to show the entire room again with the floor restored to its original , intact state . An alternative video , directed by Monkmus , appears on the Death Cab for Cutie 's DVD Directions : The Plans Video Album . In this video , a picture - book takes up the center of the video frame , and the pages turn as the song progresses . Within the book , two rabbits meet and fall in love . Time passes until one of the rabbits apparently dies . There are other references to death throughout the video , such as a rotten bowl of fruit and an elderly man who appears to die , leaving his grandson behind . The video ends with a picture of the two rabbits together , presumably in eternal happiness together . Release ( edit ) `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' has two separate United Kingdom - exclusive , colored vinyl 7 '' releases with B - sides recorded as part of the band 's Rolling Stone originals session . The part - one release is printed on teal vinyl with `` Photobooth '' from The Forbidden Love EP as the B - side , and the part - two release is printed on clear orange vinyl with a B - side of `` Brothers on a Hotel Bed '' . The CD single was also only released in the UK and contains the same `` Brothers on a Hotel Bed '' B - side . Reception ( edit ) Critical reception ( edit ) Critical response to `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' was generally positive . In their reviews for the album Plans , Robert Christgau selected the song as his `` choice cut '' , Pitchfork Media called it the album 's `` quiet centerpiece '' and praised its `` unexpected turns of phrase '' , PopMatters called it `` one of the best written pop songs of the year -- if not of the past five years '' , and Tiny Mix Tapes stated that it was `` one of the band 's best songs to date . '' Rolling Stone however , said that the song `` demonstrates how wise Gibbard is to let the band mess with his pristine melodies , which would sound wispy and ignorable on their own . '' The song was nominated for the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals , but lost to `` My Humps '' by The Black Eyed Peas . By being nominated in this category , instead of for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance , it credited the entire band for Gibbard 's solo performance . Commercial reception ( edit ) The song achieved gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America in December 2009 , for over 500,000 sales . `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' became Death Cab for Cutie 's best - selling single to date , and their overall second best - selling release after the album Plans itself . Usage in the Media ( edit ) `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' was featured on the soundtrack of the 2007 film The Invisible , a remake of the 2002 Swedish film Den Osynlige . In 2008 it was featured in the television series 90210 , in the episode `` That Which We Destroy '' . The song was featured in the sitcom Scrubs , in the season eight episode entitled `` My Last Words '' , first broadcast in January 2009 . The same year it was also the title of an episode of Grey 's Anatomy in the fifth season , originally airing in March 2009 . It was used in the 2011 Nikita episode `` Into the Dark '' ( of which it was also the namesake ) , and was also used in the film Friends With Benefits the same year . An instrumental version of the song was featured in the 2011 film Crazy , Stupid , Love . The song was also used for the end credits of Mike Birbiglia 's Netflix comedy special My Girlfriend 's Boyfriend .

His mother unconditionally supports him , while his father constantly discourages him . As a young teen , he gives up his dream of participating in the Summer Games in favour of skiing in the Winter Games . Although successful at the sport , he is rejected by British Olympic officials for being uncouth . Realizing he could make the team as a ski jumper ( a sport in which the United Kingdom had not participated in six decades ) , he decamps to a training facility in Garmisch - Partenkirchen , Germany . The more seasoned jumpers , specifically those on the Norwegian team , belittle him . He self - trains , and after successfully completing the 15 - metre ( 49 ft ) hill on his first try , he injures himself on his first try from a 40 - metre ( 130 ft ) hill . Alcoholic snow groomer Bronson Peary encourages Eddie to give up , but Eddie 's tenacious spirit and shared feelings of ostracism by the other jumpers there convince him to train Eddie . Peary is a former champion American ski jumper who left the sport in his 20s after a conflict with his mentor , famous ski jumper Warren Sharp , which Eddie learns from Petra , the kindly owner of a nearby tavern . With very little time to qualify for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary , Alberta , Eddie and Bronson employ various unorthodox methods to condition and refine Eddie 's form , and he successfully completes the 40m hill . To qualify for the British Olympic division in ski jumping , Eddie only needs to complete a jump from a 70 - metre ( 230 ft ) hill in order to qualify for the Winter Olympics . Not long after , he manages to land the jump successfully , with a distance of 34 metres ( 112ft ) , thus winning a place on the British Olympic Team . However , the officials , in an effort to keep Eddie from sullying the Winter Games with his amateurish skillset , decide to change the rules and demand that he jump at least 61 metres ( 200 ft ) . Though discouraged , Eddie decides to continue training and performs on a circuit , his jumps increasing in length each time , but unable to meet the Olympic requirements . During a practice jump at the final event before the cutoff date for qualification , he lands a 61m jump exactly , but on his official jump , he falls and is disqualified . Eddie is devastated and resolves to return home to work with his father as a plasterer , but he receives a letter claiming that his qualifying practice jump is valid , and he happily tells Bronson that he 's eligible to compete in the Winter Olympics . Bronson tries to dissuade him , promising that he will make a complete fool of himself and his country if he goes , but Eddie is undeterred , noting that competing in the Olympics was always enough for him . Upon arriving in Calgary , he receives instant scorn from the other British athletes , who get him drunk and nearly provoke him into fighting after he is subsequently absent from the opening ceremonies . Despite finishing last in the 70m jump with 60.5 metres ( 198 ft ) , Eddie sets a British record . His triumphant celebrations win the audience over , and the media embrace him as Eddie `` The Eagle '' . Over the phone , Bronson criticises Edwards for not taking the sport seriously . Edwards publicly apologizes to the press for his antics , and wanting to ensure he does not leave the games as little more than a novelty , he enters the 90 - metre ( 300 ft ) jump , which he had never attempted before . Bronson decides to travel to the games and support him . After an encouraging conversation with his idol Matti `` The Flying Finn '' Nykänen on the lift to the top of the hill , Eddie barely manages to land a 71.5 - metre ( 235 ft ) jump . Once again , he scores last in the event , but is nonetheless cheered by the audience as well as millions around the world , which includes a playful salute in the closing speech of the President of the Organising Committee for the Olympic Games , Frank King . British Olympic officials grudgingly accept him . Warren Sharp reconciles with Bronson , who was present , and Edwards returns home a national hero to the cheers of his fans at the airport , his mother rushes to him embracing him . And as Eddie looks to his father , he reveals a jumper declaring his support before then embracing Eddie as well .

-1025273229028180011 | Reducing sugar | Reducing sugar - wikipedia Reducing sugar Jump to : navigation , search Reducing form of glucose ( the aldehyde group is on the far right ) A reducing sugar is any sugar that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because it has a free aldehyde group or a free ketone group . All monosaccharides are reducing sugars , along with some disaccharides , oligosaccharides , and polysaccharides . The monosaccharides can be divided into two groups : the aldoses , which have an aldehyde group , and the ketoses , which have a ketone group . Ketoses must first tautomerize to aldoses before they can act as reducing sugars . The common dietary monosaccharides galactose , glucose and fructose are all reducing sugars . Disaccharides are formed from two monosaccharides and can be classified as either reducing or nonreducing . Nonreducing disaccharides like sucrose and trehalose have glycosidic bonds between their anomeric carbons and thus can not convert to an open - chain form with an aldehyde group ; they are stuck in the cyclic form . Reducing disaccharides like lactose and maltose have only one of their two anomeric carbons involved in the glycosidic bond , meaning that they can convert to an open - chain form with an aldehyde group . The aldehyde functional group allows the sugar to act as a reducing agent , for example in the Tollens ' test or Benedict 's test . The cyclic hemiacetal forms of aldoses can open to reveal an aldehyde and certain ketoses can undergo tautomerization to become aldoses . However , acetals , including those found in polysaccharide linkages , can not easily become free aldehydes . Reducing sugars react with amino acids in the Maillard reaction , a series of reactions that occurs while cooking food at high temperatures and that is important in determining the flavor of food . Also , the levels of reducing sugars in wine , juice , and sugarcane are indicative of the quality of these food products . Contents ( hide ) 1 Terminology 1.1 Oxidation - reduction 1.2 Aldoses and ketoses 1.3 Reducing end 2 Examples 3 Characterization 4 Importance in medicine 5 Importance in food chemistry 5.1 Maillard reaction 5.2 Food quality 6 References Terminology ( edit ) Oxidation - reduction ( edit ) A reducing sugar is one that reduces another compound and is itself oxidized ; that is , the carbonyl carbon of the sugar is oxidized to a carboxyl group . Aldoses and ketoses ( edit ) A sugar is classified as a reducing sugar only if it has an open - chain form with an aldehyde group or a free hemiacetal group . Monosaccharides which contain an aldehyde group are known as aldoses , and those with a ketone group are known as ketoses . The aldehyde can be oxidized via a redox reaction in which another compound is reduced . Thus , a reducing sugar is one that reduces certain chemicals . Sugars with ketone groups in their open chain form are capable of isomerizing via a series of tautomeric shifts to produce an aldehyde group in solution . Therefore , ketone - bearing sugars like fructose are considered reducing sugars but it is the isomer containing an aldehyde group which is reducing since ketones can not be oxidized without decomposition of the sugar . This type of isomerization is catalyzed by the base present in solutions which test for the presence of aldehydes . Aldoses or aldehyde - bearing sugars are reducing also because during oxidation of aldoses , there are certain oxidizing agents that are reduced . Reducing end ( edit ) The reducing end of a disaccharide is the monosaccharide with a free anomeric carbon that is not involved in a glycosidic bond and is thus capable of converting to the open - chain form . Recall that disaccharides consist of two monosaccharides and may be either reducing or nonreducing . However , even a reducing disaccharide will only have one reducing end , as disaccharides are held together by glycosidic bonds , which consist of at least one anomeric carbon . With one anomeric carbon unable to convert to the open - chain form , only the free anomeric carbon is available to reduce another compound . A nonreducing disaccharide has both anomeric carbons tied up in the glycosidic bond . Similarly , reducing polysaccharides have only one reducing end , assuming that there is no branching . Examples ( edit ) All monosaccharides are reducing sugars because all monosaccharides have an aldehyde group ( if they are aldoses ) or can tautomerize in solution to form an aldehyde group ( if they are ketoses ) . This includes common monosaccharides like galactose , glucose , glyceraldehyde , fructose , ribose , and xylose . Many disaccharides , like cellobiose , lactose and maltose , also have a reducing form , as one of the two units may have an open - chain form with an aldehyde group . However , sucrose and trehalose , in which the anomeric carbons of the two units are linked together , are nonreducing disaccharides since neither of the rings is capable of opening . Equilibrium between cyclic and open - chain form in one ring of maltose In glucose polymers such as starch and starch - derivatives like glucose syrup , maltodextrin and dextrin the macromolecule begins with a reducing sugar , a free aldehyde . More hydrolyzed starch contains more reducing sugars . The percentage of reducing sugars present in these starch derivatives is called dextrose equivalent ( DE ) . Glycogen is a highly branched polymer of glucose that serves as the main form of carbohydrate storage in animals . It is a reducing sugar with only one reducing end ; no matter how large the glycogen molecule is or how many branches it has , each branch ends in a nonreducing sugar residue . When glycogen is broken down to be used as an energy source , glucose units are removed one at a time from the nonreducing ends by enzymes . Characterization ( edit ) Several qualitative tests are used to detect the presence of reducing sugars . Two of them use solutions of copper ( II ) ions : Benedict 's reagent ( Cu in aqueous sodium citrate ) and Fehling 's solution ( Cu in aqueous sodium tartrate ) . The reducing sugar reduces the copper ( II ) ions in these test solutions to copper ( I ) , which then forms a brick red copper ( I ) oxide precipitate . Reducing sugars can also be detected with the addition of Tollen 's reagent , which consist of silver ions ( Ag ) in aqueous ammonia . When Tollen 's reagent is added to an aldehyde , it precipitates silver metal , often forming a silver mirror on clean glassware . 3 , 5 - Dinitrosalicylic acid is another test reagent , one that allows quantitative detection . It reacts with a reducing sugar to form 3 - amino - 5 - nitrosalicylic acid , which can be measured by spectrophotometry to determine the amount of reducing sugar that was present . Sugars having acetal or ketal linkages are not reducing sugars , as they do not have free aldehyde chains . They therefore do not react with any of the reducing - sugar test solutions . However , a non-reducing sugar can be hydrolyzed using dilute hydrochloric acid . After hydrolysis and neutralization of the acid , the product may be a reducing sugar that gives normal reactions with the test solutions . All carbohydrates respond positively to Molisch 's reagent but the test has a faster rate when it comes to monosaccharides . Importance in medicine ( edit ) Fehling 's solution was used for many years as a diagnostic test for diabetes , a disease in which blood glucose levels are dangerously elevated by a failure to produce enough insulin ( Type 1 diabetes ) or by an inability to respond to insulin ( Type 2 diabetes ) . By measuring the amount of oxidizing agent ( in this case , Fehling 's solution ) reduced by glucose , it is possible to determine the concentration of glucose in the blood or in the urine . This then enables the right amount of insulin to be injected to bring blood glucose levels back into the normal range . Importance in food Chemistry ( edit ) Maillard reaction ( edit ) Main article : Maillard reaction The carbonyl groups of reducing sugars react with the amino groups of amino acids in the Maillard reaction , a complex series of reactions that occurs when cooking food . Maillard reaction products ( MRPs ) are diverse ; some are beneficial to human health , while others are toxic . However , the overall effect of the Maillard reaction is to decrease the nutritional value of food . One example of a toxic product of the Mailard reaction is acrylamide , a neurotoxin and possible carcinogen that is formed from free asparagine and reducing sugars when cooking starchy foods at high temperatures ( above 120 ° C ) . Food quality ( edit ) The level of reducing sugars in wine , juice , and sugarcane are indicative of the quality of these food products , and monitoring the levels of reducing sugars during food production has improved market quality . The conventional method for doing so is the Lane - Eynon method , which involves titrating the reducing sugar with copper ( II ) in Fehling 's solution in the presence of methylene blue , a common redox indicator . However , it is inaccurate , expensive , and sensitive to impurities . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Pratt , Charlotte W. ; Cornely , Kathleen ( 2013 ) . Essential Biochemistry ( Third ed . ) .

"Disaccharides are formed from two monosaccharides and can be classified as either reducing or nonreducing. Nonreducing disaccharides like sucrose and trehalose have glycosidic bonds between their anomeric carbons and thus cannot convert to an open-chain form with an aldehyde group; they are stuck in the cyclic form. Reducing disaccharides like lactose and maltose have only one of their two anomeric carbons involved in the glycosidic bond, meaning that they can convert to an open-chain form with an aldehyde group."

He meets and falls in love with the fiery Mary Kate Danaher ( Maureen O'Hara ) , the sister of the bullying , loud - mouthed landowner Squire `` Red '' Will Danaher ( Victor McLaglen ) . Danaher , who had wanted the farm himself , is angry that the Widow Tillane ( angered by Danaher 's admission that he had discussed her in the local pub ) accepts Sean 's bid , and retaliates by refusing consent for his sister to marry . Several town locals , including the Catholic priest , Father Lonergan ( Ward Bond ) and the village matchmaker ( and bookmaker ) Michaleen Oge Flynn ( Barry Fitzgerald ) , conspire to trick him into believing that the wealthy Widow Tillane ( Mildred Natwick ) wants to marry him , but only if Mary Kate is no longer living in his house . After learning the truth on Sean and Mary Kate 's wedding day , an enraged Will refuses to give his sister her dowry which is made up of a large sum of money and her family possessions passed down from her mother . Sean , unschooled in Irish customs , cares nothing about the dowry , but to Mary Kate the dowry represents her independence , identity , and pride . She feels passionately and intensely that the dowry is hers and is needed to validate her marriage to Sean . Angered and shamed by Sean 's refusal to confront her brother and demand what is legally hers , she brands him a coward , and , despite living together , they are estranged as husband and wife . In the morning they find that others in the village had visited Will and pressured him to return Mary Kate 's furniture , but could not make him pay the 350 pounds of dowry money . Sean had been a boxer in the United States , a heavyweight challenger known as `` Trooper Thorn . '' After accidentally killing an opponent in the ring , Sean hung up his gloves , vowing never to fight again . This is known to only one person in the village , the Church of Ireland minister , the Rev. Playfair ( Arthur Shields ) , who once upon a time had been the lightweight champion and so understands Thornton 's internal conflict over the fight . Scene from the film In an attempt to force Sean to confront Will , Mary Kate leaves him and boards a train departing Castletown and headed to Dublin . Sean hears from Michaleen that she left for the station and drags her off the train . Followed by a crowd of townspeople , he forces her to walk with him the five miles back to Inisfree and directly to the Danaher farm . Sean demands that Will hand over her dowry . When Will refuses , he throws Mary Kate back at Will , saying that `` no dowry , no marriage '' is their custom , not his ; shocking the two and shaming Will into finally paying the monetary portion of his sister 's dowry . Sean promptly throws the money into a nearby furnace which Mary Kate holds open , showing that Mary Kate never cared about the money but only what it represented . After a proud Mary Kate announces so all can hear that she will now return home to prepare his supper and departs , Will throws a punch at Sean , and is dropped by Sean 's vicious right hook to the gut . A long , memorable fistfight ensues between the two , drawing crowds from miles around . They slug it out through the village , stop for a drink , admit grudging mutual respect for each other , and disagree over who is to pay for the porter they are drinking . Sean ends the fight by clocking Danneher on the jaw hard enough to smash him through the pub 's door , knocking him out . Then , somewhat drunk , the two return to Sean and Mary Kate 's home for supper , where it is implied the rift is healed . Sean regains Mary Kate 's love and respect . In the aftermath it is shown that Will and the Widow Tillane begin courting , and `` peace is returned to Inisfree '' . When last seen , Mary Kate has whispered something in Sean 's ear and the couple is shown trotting back to their house ... in the middle of the day , no less .

In this film , James was billed as James Lilburn , though he was later better known as James O'Hara . Barry Fitzgerald and Arthur Shields were also brothers in real life , and Francis Ford was John Ford 's elder brother . Ken Curtis , later of Gunsmoke fame and newly married to John Ford 's daughter Barbara , has a small role as Fahy , the village accordion player . Wayne brought his four children along on location , and Ford gave them parts in the important race scene in the film : Michael Wayne , 18 , as teenage boy at races Mary Antonia `` Toni '' Wayne , 16 , as teenage girl at races Patrick Wayne , 13 , as teenage boy at races Melinda Wayne , 12 , as young girl at races Production ( edit ) The film was something of a departure for Wayne and Ford , who were both known mostly for Westerns and other action - oriented films . It was also a departure for Republic Pictures , which backed Ford in what was considered a risky venture at the time . It was the only time the studio , known for low budget B - movies , released a film that would receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture . Ford read the story in 1933 and soon purchased the rights to it for $10 . The story 's author was paid another $2,500 when Republic bought the idea , and he received a final payment of $3,750 when the film was actually made . Republic Pictures agreed to finance the film with O'Hara and Wayne starring and Ford directing , but only if all three agreed to first film a Western with Republic . They did , and after completing Rio Grande , they headed for Ireland to start shooting . One of the conditions that Republic placed on Ford was that the film run under two hours . However , the finished picture was two hours and nine minutes . When screening the film for Republic executives , Ford stopped the film at approximately two hours in , on the verge of the climactic fistfight . Republic executives relented and allowed the film to run its full length . It was one of the few films that Republic filmed in Technicolor ; most of the studio 's other color films were made in a more economical process known as Trucolor . The film employed many actors from the Irish theatre , including Barry Fitzgerald 's brother , Arthur Shields , as well as extras from the Irish countryside , and it is one of the few Hollywood movies in which the Irish language can be heard . Filming commenced on June 7 , 1951 . All of the outdoor scenes were shot on location in Ireland in County Mayo and County Galway . The inside scenes were filmed toward the end of July at the Republic Studios in Hollywood . The `` Quiet Man Bridge '' The story is set in the fictitious community of Inisfree . This is not the same as the Lake Isle of Innisfree , a place in Lough Gill on the Sligo -- Leitrim border made famous by poet William Butler Yeats , which is a tiny island . Many scenes for the film were actually shot in and around the village of Cong , County Mayo , on the grounds of Cong 's Ashford Castle . Cong is now a wealthy small town and the castle a 5 - star luxury hotel . The connections with the film have led to the area becoming a tourist attraction . In 2008 , a pub opened in the building used as the pub in the film ( it had actually been a shop at the time when the movie was shot ) ; the pub hosts daily re-runs of the film on DVD . The Quiet Man Fan Club holds its annual general meeting in Ashford Castle . Other locations in the film include Thoor Ballylee , Co . Galway , home of poet W.B. Yeats for a period , Ballyglunin railway station near Tuam Co . Galway , which was filmed as Castletown station , and various places in Connemara Co . Galway and Co . Mayo . Among those are Lettergesh beach , where the horse race scene was filmed , the Quiet Man Bridge , signposted off the N59 road between Maam Cross and Oughterard and the `` White O'Morn '' cottage . The latter is located on R336 south of Maam , but has long ago fallen into ruin . The film also presents Ford 's depiction of an idealized Irish society , with no social divisions based on class or religion . The Catholic priest , Father Lonergan , and the Protestant Rev. Playfair maintain a strong friendly relationship throughout the film -- which represented the norm in what was then the Irish Free State . ( Religious tensions occurred in the 1930s , but were the norm only in Northern Ireland . ) The only allusions to Anglo - Irish animosity occur after the happy couple is married and a congratulatory toast expresses the wish that they live in `` national freedom '' ( the term national has been censored from most editions ) and before the final donnybrook when Thornton demands his wife 's dowry from Danaher . Danaher asks Hugh Forbes , who had been commander of the local Irish Republican Army unit during the fight to expel the British , `` So the IRA is in this too , ah '' , to which Forbes replies , `` If it were , not a scorched stone of your fine house would be standing . '' Music ( edit ) Ford chose his friend , Hollywood composer Victor Young , to compose the score for the film . Young sprinkled the soundtrack with many Irish airs such as the `` Rakes of Mallow '' and `` The Wild Colonial Boy '' . One piece of music , chosen by Ford himself , is most prominent : the melody the `` Isle of Innisfree '' , written not by Young , but by the Irish policeman / songwriter Richard Farrelly . The melody of the `` Isle of Innisfree '' , which is first heard over the opening credit sequence with Ashford Castle in the background , becomes the principal musical theme of The Quiet Man . The melody is reprised at least eleven times throughout the film . The upbeat melody comically hummed by Michaeleen Oge Flynn and later played on the accordion is the `` Rakes of Mallow '' . A portion of the Irish version of `` The Wild Colonial Boy '' is played throughout the film . When Maureen O'Hara died in October 2015 , her family stated she listened to music from The Quiet Man during her final hours . Filmmaker George A. Romero was also said to have died listening to the score . Box Office ( edit ) The film was a financial success , grossing $3.8 million in its first year of release . This was among the top ten grosses of the year . It was the seventh most popular film for British audiences in 1952 . Critical reception ( edit ) The Quiet Man has a 90 % approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes , with the critical consensus stated as , `` Director John Ford and star John Wayne depart the Western for the Irish countryside , and the result is a beautifully photographed , often comedic romance .

E.T. is interested and moved by the scene ; his telepathic contact with Elliot causes the boy to re-enact it while he is at school with a girl , portrayed by a young Erika Eleniak . The film inspired Donnybrook ! , a 1961 Broadway musical . John Williams ' score for the film 1941 ( 1979 ) borrows the Rakes of Mallow motif from The Quiet Man . It is used to show the building violence between the soldiers and sailors . The film is referenced in the 2015 romantic drama film Brooklyn . Irish author Des MacHale has written four books about the film . Home media ( edit ) It was first released on DVD December 14 , 1998 by Artisan Home Entertainment . It was also released 4 years later on a Collector 's edition DVD on October 22 , 2002 by Artisan . The Special features on this edition include `` The Making of the Quiet Man '' Documentary with Leonard Maltin , and `` The Joy of Ireland '' Documentary with Maureen O'Hara and Andrew V. McLaglen , and `` Remembering The Quiet Man Montage '' . On January 22 , 2013 Olive Films released The Quiet Man on DVD and for the first time on Blu - ray , as a 60th Anniversary Special edition . It included the documentary `` The Making of the Quiet Man '' with Leonard Maltin . In 2010 there was a documentary called Dreaming The Quiet Man made about the journey and making of The Quiet Man . It was narrated by Gabriel Byrne , and had interviews with Peter Bogdanovich , Martin Scorsese , Charles F. Fitzsimons , and Maureen O'Hara . It was released on DVD and Blu - ray for the first time on March 24 , 2015 .

7657679678613217058 | Swiss Army knife | Swiss Army knife - wikipedia Swiss Army knife Jump to : navigation , search Victorinox `` Huntsman '' Swiss Army knife , with knife chain and belt clip . Wenger Swiss Army knife . Since 2013 , the knives of Wenger are integrated in Victorinox . The Swiss Army knife is a pocketknife or multi-tool manufactured by Victorinox AG ( and up to 2005 also by Wenger SA ) . The term `` Swiss Army knife '' was coined by American soldiers after World War II due to the difficulty they had in pronouncing `` Offiziersmesser '' , the German name . The Swiss Army knife generally has a main spearpoint blade , as well as various tools , such as screwdrivers , a can opener , and many others . These attachments are stowed inside the handle of the knife through a pivot point mechanism . The handle is usually in it 's stereotypical red color , and features a Victorinox or Wenger `` cross '' logo or , for Swiss military issue knives , the coat of arms of Switzerland . Originating in Ibach , Switzerland , the Swiss Army knife was first produced in 1891 after the company , Karl Elsener , which later became Victorinox , won the contract to produce the Swiss Army 's Modell 1890 knife from the previous German manufacturer . In 1893 , the Swiss cutlery company Paul Boéchat & Cie , which later became Wenger , received its first contract from the Swiss military to produce model 1890 knives ; the two companies split the contract for provision of the knives from 1908 until Victorinox acquired Wenger in 2005 . A cultural icon of Switzerland , the design of the knife and its versatility have both led to worldwide recognition .

( May 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Modell 1890 , the first Swiss Soldier Knife produced by Wester & Co . Solingen During the late 1880s , the Swiss Army decided to purchase a new folding pocket knife for their soldiers . This knife was to be suitable for use by the army in opening canned food and disassembling the Swiss service rifle , the Schmidt -- Rubin , which required a screwdriver for assembly . The Swiss Army Knife was not the first multi use pocket knife . In 1851 in `` Moby Dick '' ( chapter 107 ) , Melville references the `` Sheffield contrivances , assuming the exterior - though a little swelled - of a common pocket knife ; but containing , not only blades of various sizes , but also screw - drivers , cork - screws , tweezers , awls , pens , rulers , nail - filers , countersinkers . '' In January 1891 , the knife received the official designation Modell 1890 . The knife had a blade , reamer , can - opener , screwdriver , and grips made out of dark oak wood that some say was later partly replaced with ebony wood . At that time no Swiss company had the necessary production capacity , so the initial order for 15,000 knives was placed with the German knife manufacturer Wester & Co. from Solingen , Germany . These knives were delivered in October 1891 . In 1891 , Karl Elsener , then owner of a company that made surgical equipment , set out to manufacture the knives in Switzerland itself . At the end of 1891 Elsener began production of the Modell 1890 knives . Elsener then wanted to make a pocketknife more suitable to an Officer . In 1896 , Elsener succeeded in attaching tools on both sides of the handle using a special spring mechanism : this allowed him to use the same spring to hold them in place , an innovation at the time . This allowed Elsener to put twice as many features on the knife . On 12 June 1897 , this knife featuring a second smaller cutting blade , corkscrew , and wood fiber grips was originally registered with the patent office as The Officer 's and Sports Knife , though it was never part of a military contract . Karl Elsener used the cross and shield to identify his knives , the symbol still used today on Victorinox - branded versions . When his mother died in 1909 , Elsener decided to name his company `` Victoria '' in her memory . In 1921 the company started using stainless steel to make the Swiss Army Knife . Stainless steel is also known as `` inox '' , short for the French term `` acier inoxydable '' . `` Victoria '' and `` inox '' were then combined to create the company name `` Victorinox '' . Victorinox 's headquarters and show room are located in the Swiss town of Ibach . Victorinox and Wenger ( edit ) Elsener , through his company Victorinox , managed to control the market until 1893 , when the second industrial cutler of Switzerland , Paul Boéchat & Cie , headquartered in Delémont in the French - speaking region of Jura , started selling a similar product . This company was later acquired by its then General Manager , Théodore Wenger , and renamed the Wenger Company . In 1908 the Swiss government , wanting to prevent an issue over regional favouritism , but perhaps wanting a bit of competition in hopes of lowering prices , split the contract with Victorinox and Wenger , each getting half of the orders placed . By mutual agreement , Wenger has advertised as the Genuine Swiss Army Knife and Victorinox used the slogan , the Original Swiss Army Knife . On April 26 , 2005 , Victorinox acquired Wenger , once again becoming the sole supplier of knives to the Military of Switzerland . Victorinox had kept both consumer brands intact , but on January 30 , 2013 , Wenger and Victorinox announced that the separate knife brands were going to be merged into one brand : Victorinox . Wenger 's watch and licensing business will continue as a separate brand . Up to 2008 Victorinox AG and Wenger SA supplied about 50,000 knives to the military of Switzerland each year , and manufactured many more for export , mostly to the United States . Many commercial Victorinox and Wenger Swiss Army knives can be immediately distinguished by the cross logos depicted on their grips ; the Victorinox cross logo is surrounded by a shield while the Wenger cross logo is surrounded by a slightly rounded square . On January 30 , 2013 , Wenger and Victorinox announced that the separate knife brands were going to be merged into one brand : Victorinox . The press release stated that Wenger 's factory in Delemont would continue to produce knives and all employees at this site will retain their jobs . They further elaborated that an assortment of items from the Wenger line - up will remain in production under the Victorinox brand name . Wenger 's US headquarters will be merged with Victorinox 's location in Monroe , Connecticut . Wenger 's watch and licensing business will continue as a separate brand : Swiss Gear . Many other companies manufacture similar - looking folding knives in a wide range of quality and prices . The cross-and - shield emblem and the words SWISS ARMY are registered trademarks of Victorinox AG and its related companies . Swiss military knife contract ( edit ) The one - hand knife of the German Army as issued by the Bundeswehr since 2003 In 2007 , the Swiss Government made a request for new updated soldier knives for the Swiss military for distribution in late 2008 . The evaluation phase of the new soldier knife began in February 2008 , when Armasuisse issued an invitation to tender . A total of seven suppliers from Switzerland and other countries were invited to participate in the evaluation process . Functional models submitted by suppliers underwent practical testing by military personnel in July 2008 , while laboratory tests were used to assess compliance with technical requirements . A cost - benefit analysis was conducted and the model with the best price / performance ratio was awarded the contract . The order for 75,000 soldier knives plus cases was worth 1.38 million SFr ... This equates to a purchase price of 18.40 SFr. , € 12.12 , GB £ 17.99 in October 2009 per knife plus case . Victorinox won the contest with a knife based on the One - Hand Germany Army Knife as issued by the German Bundeswehr and released in the civilian model lineup with the addition of a toothpick and tweezers stored in the nylon grip scales ( side cover plates ) as the One - Hand Trekker / Trailmaster model . Mass production of the new Soldatenmesser 08 ( Soldier Knife 08 ) for the Swiss Armed Forces was started in December 2008 . Features ( edit ) Tools ( edit ) The Victorinox Swisschamp consists of 8 layers , 33 functions , weighs 185g , and has a large number of tools while still remaining practical. ( 2 ) Wenger Giant Victorinox Swisschamp XAVT There are various models of the Swiss Army Knife with different tool combinations . Though Victorinox does n't provide custom knives , they have produced many variations to suit individual users . Main tools : Large blade , imprinted on the blade shank of Victorinox models with `` VICTORINOX SWISS MADE '' to verify the knife 's authenticity . Small blade Nail file / nail cleaner Nail file / nail cleaner / metal file / metal saw Wood saw Fish scaler / hook disgorger / ruler in cm and inches Scissors Electrician 's blade / wire scraper Pruning blade Pharmaceutical spatula ( cuticle pusher ) Cyber Tool ( bit driver ) Pliers / wire cutter / wire crimper LED light USB stick Magnifying lens Phillips screwdriver Hoof cleaner Shackle opener / marlinspike Can opener / 3 mm slotted screwdriver Cap opener / 6 mm slotted screwdriver / wire stripper Combination tool containing cap opener / can opener / 5 mm slotted screwdriver / wire stripper Smaller tools : Keyring Reamer Multipurpose hook 2mm slotted screwdriver Chisel Corkscrew or Phillips driver Mini screwdriver ( designed to fit within the corkscrew ) Scale tools : Tweezers Toothpick Pressurized ballpoint pen ( with a retractable version on smaller models , and can be used to set DIP switches ) Stainless pin Digital clock / alarm / timer / altimeter / thermometer / barometer Three Victorinox SAK models featured a butane lighter : the Swissflame , Campflame , and Swisschamp XXLT , first introduced in 2002 and then discontinued in 2005 . The models were never sold in the United States due to lack of safety features . They used a standard piezoelectric ignition system for easy and quick ignition with adjustable flame , and were designed for operation at altitudes up to 1,500 metres ( 4,900 ft ) above sea level and continuous operation of 10 minutes . In January 2010 , Victorinox announced the Presentation Master models , released in April 2010 . The technological tools included a laser pointer , and detachable flash drive with fingerprint reader . Victorinox now sells an updated version called the Slim Jetsetter , with `` a premium software package that provides ultra secure data encryption , automatic backup functionality , secure web surfing capabilities , file and email synchronization between the drive and multiple computers , Bluetooth pairing and much more . On the hardware side of things , biometric fingerprint technology , laser pointers , LED lights , Bluetooth remote control and of course , the original Swiss Army Knife implements -- blade , scissors , nail file , screwdriver , key ring and ballpoint pen are standard . * * Not every feature is available on every model within the collection . '' In 2006 , Wenger produced a knife called `` The Giant '' that included every implement the company ever made , with 87 tools and 141 different functions . It was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world 's most multifunctional penknife . It retails for about € 798 or $ US1000 , though some vendors charge much higher prices . In the same year , Victorinox released the SwissChamp XAVT , consisting of 118 parts and 80 functions with a retail price of $425 . The Guinness Book of Records recognizes a unique 314 - blade Swiss Army - style knife made in 1991 by Master Cutler Hans Meister as the world 's largest penknife , weighing 11 pounds . Locking mechanisms ( edit ) Dual liner lock system as used in the Soldatenmesser 08 and various other Victorinox 111 mm models Some Swiss Army knives feature locking blades to prevent accidental closure . Wenger was the first to offer a '' PackLock '' for the main blade on several of their standard 85mm models . Several large Wenger and Victorinox models feature a locking blade secured by a slide lock that is operated with an unlocking - button integrated in the scales . Some Victorinox 111 mm series knives feature a double liner lock that secures the cutting blade and large slotted screwdriver / cap opener / wire stripper combination tool designed towards prying . Design and materials ( edit ) Rivets and flanged bushings made from brass hold all machined steel parts and other tools , separators and the scales together . The rivets are made by cutting and pointing appropriately sized bars of solid brass . The separators between the tools have been made from aluminium alloy since 1951 . This makes the knives lighter . Previously these separating layers were made of nickel - silver . The martensitic stainless steel alloy used for the cutting blades is optimized for high toughness and corrosion resistance and has a composition of 15 % chromium , 0.60 % silicon , 0.52 % carbon , 0.50 % molybdenum , and 0.45 % manganese and is designated X55CrMo14 or DIN 1.4110 according to Victorinox . After a hardening process at 1040 ° C and annealing at 160 ° C the blades achieve an average hardness of 56 HRC . This steel hardness is suitable for practical use and easy resharpening , but less than achieved in stainless steel alloys used for blades optimized for high wear resistance . According to Victorinox the martensitic stainless steel alloy used for the other parts is X39Cr13 ( aka DIN 1.4031 , AISI / ASTM 420 ) and for the springs X20Cr13 ( aka DIN 1.4021 , but still within AISI / ASTM 420 ) . The steel used for the wood saws , scissors and nail files has a steel hardness of HRC 53 , the screwdrivers , tin openers and awls have a hardness of HRC 52 , and the corkscrew and springs have a hardness of HRC 49 . The metal saws and files , in addition to the special case hardening , are also subjected to a hard chromium plating process so that iron and steel can also be filed and cut . Various sized and scaled models produced by Wenger Although red Cellulose Acetate Butyrate ( CAB ) ( generally known trade names are Cellidor , Tenite and Tenex ) scaled Swiss Army Knives are most common , there are many colors and alternative materials like nylon and aluminum for the scales available . Many textures , colors and shapes now appear in the Swiss Army Knife . Since 2006 the scales on some knife models can have textured rubber non-slip inlays incorporated , intended for sufficient grip with moist or wet hands . A modding community has also developed from professionally - produced custom models combining novel materials , colors , finishes and occasionally new tools such firesteels or tool ' blades ' mounting replaceable surgical scalpel blades to replacement of standard scales ( handles ) with new versions in natural materials such as buffalo horn . In addition to ' limited edition ' productions runs , numerous examples from basic to professional - level customizations of standard knives - such as retrofitting pocket clips , one - off scales created using 3D printing techniques , decoration using anodization and new scale materials - can be found by searching for ' SAK mods ' . Assembly ( edit ) During assembly , all components are placed on several brass rivets . The first components are generally an aluminum separator and a flat steel spring . Once a layer of tools is installed , another separator and spring are placed for the next layer of tools . This process is repeated until all the desired tool layers and the finishing separator are installed . Once the knife is built , the metal parts are fastened by adding brass flanged bushings to the rivets . The excess length of the rivets is then cut off to make them flush with the bushings . Finally the remaining length of the rivets is flattened into the flanged bushings . After the assembly of the metal parts , the blades are sharpened to a 15 ° angle , resulting in a 30 ° V - shaped steel cutting edge . The blades are then checked with a laser reflecting goniometer to verify the angle of the cutting edges . Finally scales are applied . Slightly undersized holes incorporated into the inner surface enclose the bushings , which have truncated cone cross-section and are slightly undercut , forming a one - way interference fit when pressed into the generally softer and more elastic scale material . The result is a tight adhesive - free connection that nonetheless permits new identical - pattern scales to be quickly and easily applied . Sizes ( edit ) Victorinox models are available in 58 mm ( 2.3 in ) , 74 mm ( 2.9 in ) , 84 mm ( 3.3 in ) , 91 mm ( 3.6 in ) , 93 mm ( 3.7 in ) , 100 mm ( 3.9 in ) , 108 mm ( 4.3 in ) and 111 mm ( 4.4 in ) lengths when closed . The thickness of the knives varies depending on the number of tool layers included . The 91 mm ( 3.6 in ) models offer the most variety in tool configurations in the Victorinox model line with as many as 15 layers . Wenger models are available in 65 mm ( 2.6 in ) , 75 mm ( 3.0 in ) , 85 mm ( 3.3 in ) 93 mm ( 3.7 in ) , 100 mm ( 3.9 in ) , 120 mm ( 4.7 in ) and 130 mm ( 5.1 in ) lengths when closed . Thickness varies depending on the number of tool layers included . The 85 mm ( 3.3 in ) models offer the most variety in tool configurations in the Wenger model line , with as many as 10 layers . Knives issued by the military of Switzerland ( edit ) Since the first issue as personal equipment in 1891 the Soldatenmesser ( Soldier Knives ) issued by the Swiss Armed Forces have been revised several times . There are five different main Modelle ( models ) . Their model numbers refer to the year of introduction in the military supply chain . Several main models have been revised over time and therefore exist in different Ausführungen ( executions ) , also denoted by the year of introduction . The issued models of the Swiss Armed Forces are : Modell 1890 Modell 1890 Ausführung 1901 Modell 1908 Modell 1951 Modell 1951 Ausführung 1954 Modell 1951 Ausführung 1957 Modell 1961 Modell 1961 Ausführung 1965 Modell 1961 Ausführung 1978 Modell 1961 Ausführung 1994 Soldatenmesser 08 ( Soldier Knife 08 ) Soldier Knives are issued to every recruit or member of the Swiss Armed Forces and the knives issued to officers have never differed from those issued to non-commissioned officers or privates . A model incorporating a corkscrew and scissors was produced as an officer 's tool , but was deemed not `` essential for survival '' , leaving officers to purchase it individually . Soldier knife model 1890 ( edit ) The Soldier Knife model 1890 had a spear point blade , reamer , can - opener , screwdriver and grips made out of oak wood scales ( handles ) that were treated with rapeseed oil for greater toughness and water - repellency , which made them black in color . The wooden grips of the Modell 1890 tended to crack and chip so in 1901 these were changed to a hard reddish - brown fiber similar in appearance to wood . The knife was 100 mm ( 3.9 in ) long , 20.5 mm ( 0.81 in ) thick and weighed 144 g ( 5.1 oz ) . Soldier knife model 1908 ( edit ) Modell 1908 , the knife that was issued from 1908 to 1951 The Soldier Knife model 1908 had a clip - point blade rather than the 1890s spear point blade , still with the fiber scales , carbon steel tools , nickel - silver bolster , liners , and divider . The knife was 100 mm ( 3.9 in ) long , 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in ) thick and weighed 125 g ( 4.4 oz ) . The contract with the Swiss Army split production equally between the Victorinox and Wenger companies . Soldier knife model 1951 ( edit ) The soldier Knife model 1951 had fiber scales , nickel - silver bolsters , liners , and divider , and a spear point blade . This was the first Swiss Armed Forces issue model where the tools were made of stainless steel . The screwdriver now had a scraper arc on one edge . The knife was 93 mm ( 3.7 in ) long , 13.5 mm ( 0.53 in ) thick and weighed 90 g ( 3.2 oz ) . Soldier knife model 1961 ( edit ) Modell 1961 Ausführung 1994 , the knife that was issued from 1961 to 2008 in its final execution . The Soldier Knife model 1961 has a 93 mm ( 3.7 in ) long knurled alox handle with the Swiss crest , a drop point blade , a reamer , a blade combining bottle opener , screwdriver , and wire stripper , and a combined can - opener and small screwdriver . The knife was 12 mm ( 0.47 in ) thick and weighed 72 g ( 2.5 oz ) This official Swiss military model also contains a brass spacer , which allows the knife , with the screwdriver and the reamer extended simultaneously , to be used to assemble the SIG 550 and SIG 510 assault rifles : the knife serves as a restraint to the firing pin during assembly of the lock . The Soldier Knife model 1961 was manufactured only by Victorinox and Wenger and was the first issued knife bearing the Swiss Coat of Arms on the handle . Soldier knife 08 ( edit ) Soldatenmesser 08 , the knife issued to the Swiss Armed Forces since 2008 The Soldier Knife 08 was first issued to the Swiss Armed Forces beginning with the first basic training sessions of 2009 . The Soldier Knife 08 features an 111 mm ( 4.4 in ) long ergonomic handle with polymer - textured non-slip inlays incorporated in the nylon grip shells and a double liner locking system , one - hand 86 mm ( 3.4 in ) long locking partly serrated chisel ground drop point blade , wood saw , can opener with small 3 mm ( 0.12 in ) slotted screwdriver , locking bottle opener with large 7 mm ( 0.28 in ) slotted screwdriver and wire stripper / bender , reamer , Phillips ( PH2 ) screwdriver and 12 mm ( 0.47 in ) diameter split keyring . The Soldier Knife 08 width is 34.5 mm ( 1.36 in ) , thickness is 18 mm ( 0.71 in ) , overall length opened is 197 mm ( 7.8 in ) and it weighs 131 g ( 4.6 oz ) . The Soldier Knife 08 is manufactured only by Victorinox . Knives issued by other militaries ( edit ) The armed forces of more than 20 different nations have issued or approved the use of various versions of Swiss army knives made by Victorinox , among them the forces of Germany , France , the Netherlands , Norway , Malaysia and the United States ( NSN 1095 - 01 - 653 - 1166 Knife , Combat ) . West German Army knife , 1985 New German Army knife , since 2003 Malaysian Army knife Space program ( edit ) The Swiss Army knife has been present in space missions carried out by NASA since the late 1970s . In 1978 , NASA sent a letter of confirmation to Victorinox regarding a purchase of 50 knives known as the Master Craftsman model . In 1985 , Edward M. Payton , brother of astronaut Gary E. Payton , sent a letter to Victorinox , asking about getting a Master Craftsman knife after seeing the one his brother used in space . There are other stories as well of repairs conducted in space using a Swiss Army knife . Cultural impact ( edit ) The Swiss Army knife has been added to the collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art and Munich 's State Museum of Applied Art for its design . The term `` Swiss Army '' currently is a registered trademark owned by Victorinox AG and its subsidiary , Wenger SA . The television show MacGyver features Angus MacGyver , who frequently uses different Swiss Army knives in various episodes to solve problems and construct simple objects . In the TV show Psych Shawn Spencer and his dad always carry large Swiss Army knives to work their way through occasional problems . The term `` Swiss Army knife '' has entered popular culture as a metaphor for usefulness and adaptability . The multi-purpose nature of the tool has also inspired a number of other gadgets .

"Originating in Ibach, Switzerland, the Swiss Army knife was first produced in 1891 after the company, Karl Elsener, which later became Victorinox, won the contract to produce the Swiss Army's Modell 1890 knife from the previous German manufacturer. In 1893, the Swiss cutlery company Paul Boéchat & Cie, which later became Wenger, received its first contract from the Swiss military to produce model 1890 knives; the two companies split the contract for provision of the knives from 1908 until Victorinox acquired Wenger in 2005. A cultural icon of Switzerland, the design of the knife and its versatility have both led to worldwide recognition.[3]"

Its name is derived from its chemical structure : it is an ester of acetic acid and choline . Parts in the body that use or are affected by acetylcholine are referred to as cholinergic . Substances that interfere with acetylcholine activity are called anticholinergics . Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction -- in other words , it is the chemical that motor neurons of the nervous system release in order to activate muscles . This property means that drugs that affect cholinergic systems can have very dangerous effects ranging from paralysis to convulsions . Acetylcholine is also used as a neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system , both as an internal transmitter for the sympathetic nervous system and as the final product released by the parasympathetic nervous system . In the brain , acetylcholine functions as a neurotransmitter and as a neuromodulator . The brain contains a number of cholinergic areas , each with distinct functions . They play an important role in arousal , attention , memory and motivation . Partly because of its muscle - activating function , but also because of its functions in the autonomic nervous system and brain , a large number of important drugs exert their effects by altering cholinergic transmission . Numerous venoms and toxins produced by plants , animals , and bacteria , as well as chemical nerve agents such as Sarin , cause harm by inactivating or hyperactivating muscles via their influences on the neuromuscular junction . Drugs that act on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors , such as atropine , can be poisonous in large quantities , but in smaller doses they are commonly used to treat certain heart conditions and eye problems . Scopolamine , which acts mainly on muscarinic receptors in the brain , can cause delirium and amnesia . The addictive qualities of nicotine are derived from its effects on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain .

Because of the presence of a highly polar , charged ammonium group , acetylcholine does not penetrate lipid membranes . Because of this , when the drug is introduced externally , it remains in the extracellular space and does not pass through the blood -- brain barrier . A synonym of this drug is miochol . Biochemistry ( edit ) Acetylcholine is synthesized in certain neurons by the enzyme choline acetyltransferase from the compounds choline and acetyl - CoA . Cholinergic neurons are capable of producing ACh . An example of a central cholinergic area is the nucleus basalis of Meynert in the basal forebrain . The enzyme acetylcholinesterase converts acetylcholine into the inactive metabolites choline and acetate . This enzyme is abundant in the synaptic cleft , and its role in rapidly clearing free acetylcholine from the synapse is essential for proper muscle function . Certain neurotoxins work by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase , thus leading to excess acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction , causing paralysis of the muscles needed for breathing and stopping the beating of the heart . Functions ( edit ) Acetylcholine pathway . Acetylcholine functions in both the central nervous system ( CNS ) and the peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) . In the CNS , cholinergic projections from the basal forebrain to the cerebral cortex and hippocampus support the cognitive functions of those target areas . In the PNS , acetylcholine activates muscles and is a major neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system . Cellular effects ( edit ) Main article : Acetylcholine receptor Acetylcholine processing in a synapse . After release acetylcholine is broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase . Like many other biologically active substances , acetylcholine exerts its effects by binding to and activating receptors located on the surface of cells . There are two main classes of acetylcholine receptor , nicotinic and muscarinic . They are named for chemicals that can selectively activate each type of receptor without activating the other : muscarine is a compound found in the mushroom Amanita muscaria ; nicotine is found in tobacco . Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are ligand - gated ion channels permeable to sodium , potassium , and calcium ions . In other words , they are ion channels embedded in cell membranes , capable of switching from a closed to open state when acetylcholine binds to them ; in the open state they allow ions to pass through . Nicotinic receptors come in two main types , known as muscle - type and neuronal - type . The muscle - type can be selectively blocked by curare , the neuronal - type by hexamethonium . The main location of muscle - type receptors is on muscle cells , as described in more detail below . Neuronal - type receptors are located in autonomic ganglia ( both sympathetic and parasympathetic ) , and in the central nervous system . Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have a more complex mechanism , and affect target cells over a longer time frame . In mammals , five subtypes of muscarinic receptors have been identified , labeled M1 through M5 . All of them function as G protein - coupled receptors , meaning that they exert their effects via a second messenger system . The M1 , M3 , and M5 subtypes are G - coupled ; they increase intracellular levels of IP and calcium by activating phospholipase C. Their effect on target cells is usually excitatory . The M2 and M4 subtypes are G / G - coupled ; they decrease intracellular levels of cAMP by inhibiting adenylate cyclase . Their effect on target cells is usually inhibitory . Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are found in both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system of the heart , lungs , upper gastrointestinal tract , and sweat glands . Neuromuscular junction ( edit ) Muscles contract when they receive signals from motor neurons . The neuromuscular junction is the site of the signal exchange . The steps of this process in vertebrates occur as follows : ( 1 ) The action potential reaches the axon terminal . ( 2 ) Calcium ions flow into the axon terminal . ( 3 ) Acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft. ( 4 ) Acetylcholine binds to postsynaptic receptors. ( 5 ) This binding causes ion channels to open and allows sodium ions to flow into the muscle cell . ( 6 ) The flow of sodium ions across the membrane into the muscle cell generates an action potential which induces muscle contraction . Labels : A : Motor neuron axon B : Axon terminal C : Synaptic cleft D: Muscle cell E : Part of a Myofibril Main article : Neuromuscular junction Acetylcholine is the substance the nervous system uses to activate skeletal muscles , a kind of striated muscle . These are the muscles used for all types of voluntary movement , in contrast to smooth muscle tissue , which is involved in a range of involuntary activities such as movement of food through the gastrointestinal tract and constriction of blood vessels . Skeletal muscles are directly controlled by motor neurons located in the spinal cord or , in a few cases , the brainstem . These motor neurons send their axons through motor nerves , from which they emerge to connect to muscle fibers at a special type of synapse called the neuromuscular junction . When a motor neuron generates an action potential , it travels rapidly along the nerve until it reaches the neuromuscular junction , where it initiates an electrochemical process that causes acetylcholine to be released into the space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle fiber . The acetylcholine molecules then bind to nicotinic ion - channel receptors on the muscle cell membrane , causing the ion channels to open . Calcium ions then flow into the muscle cell , initiating a sequence of steps that finally produce muscle contraction . Autonomic nervous system ( edit ) Components and connections of the parasympathetic nervous system . The autonomic nervous system controls a wide range of involuntary and unconscious body functions . Its main branches are the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system . Broadly speaking , the function of the sympathetic nervous system is to mobilize the body for action : the slogan often used for it is fight - or - flight . The function of the parasympathetic nervous system is to put the body in a state conducive to rest , regeneration , digestion , and reproduction : it is sometimes described using the slogans `` rest and digest '' or `` feed and breed '' . Both branches use acetylcholine , but in different ways . At a schematic level , the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are both organized in essentially the same way : preganglionic neurons in the central nervous system send projections to neurons located in autonomic ganglia ; these neurons then send output projections to virtually every tissue of the body . In both branches the internal connections -- the projections from the central nervous system to the autonomic ganglia -- use acetylcholine as neurotransmitter , and the receptors it activates are of the nicotinic type . In the parasympathetic nervous system the output connections -- the projections from ganglion neurons to tissues that do n't belong to the nervous system -- also release acetylcholine , acting on muscarinic receptors . In the sympathetic nervous system the output connections mainly release noradrenaline , although acetylcholine is released at a few points , such as the sudomotor innervation of the sweat glands . Direct vascular effects ( edit ) Acetylcholine in the serum exerts a direct effect on vascular tone by binding to muscarinic receptors present on vascular endothelium . These cells respond by increasing production of nitric oxide , which signals the surrounding smooth muscle to relax , leading to vasodilation . Central nervous system ( edit ) Micrograph of the nucleus basalis ( of Meynert ) , which produces acetylcholine in the CNS . LFB - HE stain . In the central nervous system , ACh has a variety of effects on plasticity , arousal and reward . ACh has an important role in the enhancement of alertness when we wake up , in sustaining attention and in learning and memory . Damage to the cholinergic ( acetylcholine - producing ) system in the brain has been shown to be associated with the memory deficits associated with Alzheimer 's disease . ACh has also been shown to promote REM sleep . In the brainstem acetylcholine originates from the Pedunculopontine nucleus and laterodorsal tegmental nucleus collectively known as the meso pontine tegmentum area or pontomesencephalotegmental complex . In the basal forebrain , it originates from the basal nucleus of Meynert and medial septal nucleus : The pontomesencephalotegmental complex acts mainly on M1 receptors in the brainstem , deep cerebellar nuclei , pontine nuclei , locus coeruleus , raphe nucleus , lateral reticular nucleus and inferior olive . It also projects to the thalamus , tectum , basal ganglia and basal forebrain . Basal nucleus of Meynert acts mainly on M1 receptors in the neocortex . Medial septal nucleus acts mainly on M1 receptors in the hippocampus and parts of the cerebral cortex . In addition , ACh acts as an important internal transmitter in the striatum , which is part of the basal ganglia . It is released by cholinergic interneurons . In humans , non-human primates and rodents , these interneurons respond to salient environmental stimuli with responses that are temporally aligned with the responses of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra . Memory ( edit ) Acetylcholine has been implicated in learning and memory in several ways . The anticholinergic drug , scopolamine , impairs acquisition of new information in humans and animals . In animals , disruption of the supply of acetylcholine to the neocortex impairs the learning of simple discrimination tasks , comparable to the acquisition of factual information and disruption of the supply of acetylcholine to the hippocampus and adjacent cortical areas produces forgetting comparable to anterograde amnesia in humans . Diseases and disorders ( edit ) Myasthenia gravis ( edit ) The disease myasthenia gravis , characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue , occurs when the body inappropriately produces antibodies against acetylcholine nicotinic receptors , and thus inhibits proper acetylcholine signal transmission . Over time , the motor end plate is destroyed . Drugs that competitively inhibit acetylcholinesterase ( e.g. , neostigmine , physostigmine , or primarily pyridostigmine ) are effective in treating this disorder . They allow endogenously released acetylcholine more time to interact with its respective receptor before being inactivated by acetylcholinesterase in the synaptic cleft ( the space between nerve and muscle ) . Pharmacology ( edit ) Blocking , hindering or mimicking the action of acetylcholine has many uses in medicine . Drugs acting on the acetylcholine system are either agonists to the receptors , stimulating the system , or antagonists , inhibiting it . Acetylcholine receptor agonists and antagonists can either have an effect directly on the receptors or exert their effects indirectly , e.g. , by affecting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase , which degrades the receptor ligand . Agonists increase the level of receptor activation , antagonists reduce it . Acetylcholine itself does not have therapeutic value as a drug for intravenous administration because of its multi-faceted action ( non-selective ) and rapid inactivation by cholinesterase . However , it is used in the form of eye drops to cause constriction of the pupil during cataract surgery , which facilitates quick post-operational recovery . Nicotine ( edit ) Nicotine binds to and activates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors , mimicking the effect of acetylcholine at these receptors . When ACh interacts with a nicotinic ACh receptor , it opens a Na+ channel and Na+ ions flow into the membrane . This causes a depolarization , and results in an excitatory post-synaptic potential . Thus , ACh is excitatory on skeletal muscle ; the electrical response is fast and short - lived . Atropine ( edit ) Atropine is a non-selective competitive antagonist with Acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors . Cholinesterase inhibitors ( edit ) Main article : Cholinesterase inhibitors Many ACh receptor agonists work indirectly by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase . The resulting accumulation of acetylcholine causes continuous stimulation of the muscles , glands , and central nervous system , which can result in fatal convulsions if the dose is high . They are examples of enzyme inhibitors , and increase the action of acetylcholine by delaying its degradation ; some have been used as nerve agents ( Sarin and VX nerve gas ) or pesticides ( organophosphates and the carbamates ) . Many toxins and venoms produced by plants and animals also contain cholinesterase inhibitors . In clinical use , they are administered in low doses to reverse the action of muscle relaxants , to treat myasthenia gravis , and to treat symptoms of Alzheimer 's disease ( rivastigmine , which increases cholinergic activity in the brain ) . Curare ( edit ) Main article : Curare Synthesis inhibitors ( edit ) Organic mercurial compounds , such as methylmercury , have a high affinity for sulfhydryl groups , which causes dysfunction of the enzyme choline acetyltransferase . This inhibition may lead to acetylcholine deficiency , and can have consequences on motor function . Release inhibitors ( edit ) Botulinum toxin ( Botox ) acts by suppressing the release of acetylcholine , whereas the venom from a black widow spider ( alpha - latrotoxin ) has the reverse effect . ACh inhibition causes paralysis . When bitten by a black widow spider , one experiences the wastage of ACh supplies and the muscles begin to contract . If and when the supply is depleted , paralysis occurs . Comparative biology and evolution ( edit ) Acetylcholine is used by animals in all domains of life for a variety of purposes . It is believed that choline , a precursor to acetylcholine , was used by single celled organisms billions of years ago for synthesizing cell membrane phospholipids . Following the evolution of choline transporters , the abundance of intracellular choline paved the way for choline to become incorporated into other synthetic pathways , including acetylcholine production . Acetylcholine is now used by bacteria , fungi , and a variety of other animals . Interestingly , many of the uses of acetylcholine rely on its action on ion channels . The two major types of acetylcholine receptors , muscarinic and nicotinic receptors , have convergently evolved to be responsive to acetylcholine . This means that rather than having evolved from a common homolog , these receptors evolved from separate receptor families . It is estimated that the nicotinic receptor family dates back longer than 2.5 billion years . Likewise , muscarinic receptors are thought to have diverged from other GPCRs at least 0.5 billion years ago . Both of these receptor groups have evolved numerous subtypes with unique ligand affinities and signaling mechanisms . The diversity of the receptor types enables acetylcholine to creating varying responses depending on which receptor types are activated , and allow for acetylcholine to dynamically regulate physiological processes . History ( edit ) Acetylcholine ( ACh ) was first identified in 1915 by Henry Hallett Dale for its actions on heart tissue . It was confirmed as a neurotransmitter by Otto Loewi , who initially gave it the name Vagusstoff because it was released from the vagus nerve . Both received the 1936 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work . Acetylcholine was also the first neurotransmitter to be identified .

"When a motor neuron generates an action potential, it travels rapidly along the nerve until it reaches the neuromuscular junction, where it initiates an electrochemical process that causes acetylcholine to be released into the space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle fiber. The acetylcholine molecules then bind to nicotinic ion-channel receptors on the muscle cell membrane, causing the ion channels to open. Calcium ions then flow into the muscle cell, initiating a sequence of steps that finally produce muscle contraction."

See Wikipedia 's guide to writing better articles for suggestions . ( April 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Elvis A. Presley Birth name Elvis Aron Presley ( 1935 - 01 - 08 ) January 8 , 1935 Tupelo , Mississippi , U.S. August 16 , 1977 ( 1977 - 08 - 16 ) ( aged 42 ) Memphis , Tennessee , U.S. Allegiance United States of America Service / branch United States Army Years of service 1958 -- 1960 Rank Sergeant Unit Company A , 1st Medium Tank Battalion , 32nd Armor Regiment , 3rd Armored Division Awards Army Good Conduct Medal Elvis Presley served in the United States Army between March 1958 and March 1960 . At the time of his draft he was the most well - known name in the world of entertainment . Before entering the U.S. Army , Presley had caused national outrage with his rock and roll music . Many parents , religious leaders , and teachers groups saw his draft as a positive thing . Despite being offered the chance to enlist in Special Services to entertain the troops and live in priority housing , Presley decided to serve as a regular soldier . This earned him the respect of many of his fellow soldiers and people back home who had previously viewed him in a negative light . During his service , Presley 's life was affected in many ways , beginning with the death of his mother . Not long before he was to be stationed in Germany , Gladys Presley died of a heart attack brought on by acute hepatitis and cirrhosis at age 46 . When he was stationed in West Germany , he met his future wife Priscilla Beaulieu and became dependent on stimulants and barbiturates . This unhealthy addiction eventually led to his divorce , and ultimately his death at age 42 in 1977 . After his release from military service , Presley found a new fan base among an older age group , thanks in part to his army career and releases of ballads over rock and roll songs . Contents ( hide ) 1 Pre-induction 1.1 Draft 1.2 King Creole extension 2 Army life 2.1 Induction 2.2 Fort Hood 2.3 Mother 's death 3 Life in Germany 3.1 1958 3.2 1959 3.3 Dee Stanley 3.4 Elvis meets Priscilla 4 Discharge 5 Awards 6 References 7 Bibliography Pre-induction ( edit ) Draft ( edit ) On January 8 , 1956 , Presley turned twenty - one years old . Like most American men of that age , he was now eligible to be drafted . Colonel Tom Parker , Presley 's manager , was well aware of his client 's draft status and how it could affect his career . In the summer of 1956 , Parker wrote to the Pentagon requesting that Presley be considered for Special Services . Special Services would allow Presley to do only six weeks basic training and then resume life as normal with the exception of performing several times a year for the armed forces . However , Parker had no intentions of allowing his client to ever sign up for Special Services . Special Services would require Presley to perform for free , with each performance being recorded and filmed for sale to television stations throughout the world . Only the armed forces would profit from these recordings , and Parker was in no way willing to allow anyone , even `` Uncle Sam '' , to enjoy Presley 's talents for free . Over the course of the next twelve months Parker led Presley to believe that it was still possible to avoid the draft completely . Unknown to Presley , Parker had no intentions of avoiding the draft . In his eyes , after a year of some negative publicity about Presley , this was the perfect opportunity to change the view that older America had of him . Parker explained to Presley that this was a great situation , one that neither of them could refuse . When Presley was told that he would have to serve as a regular soldier he was furious ; how could his manager , the man who had claimed to be able to do anything , not be able to find a way out of the draft ? Parker promised Presley that if he worked hard , kept his nose clean , and served as a regular GI for two years , he would return `` a bigger star '' than when he left . On January 4 , 1957 , Presley attended Kennedy Veterans Hospital in Memphis for a pre-induction Army medical . On January 8 , Presley 's twenty - second birthday , he was declared 1 - A by the Memphis Draft Board ; physically fit and likely to be drafted some time in the next eight months . It was on December 16 that it was officially announced that Presley would be receiving his draft notice . While fans around the country were upset about the news , parents and teachers groups were ecstatic . Presley had been , in their opinion , a menace to society . The Navy offered to create a special Elvis Presley Company made up of men from Memphis and Presley 's closest friends . They also offered him the chance to perform in Las Vegas , and have his own private quarters . The Army offered Presley the chance to tour the world and visit Army bases to boost morale among soldiers and encourage other young men to enlist . Presley politely told both parties that he would consider their offers . The Pentagon , too , had been in touch to offer Presley the opportunity to join Special Services , entertaining the troops without having to actually train as a regular soldier ; among many soldiers and veterans it is known as `` the celebrity wimp - out '' . After discussing each possibility with his manager , Colonel Tom Parker , Presley decided to join up as a regular soldier . In Parker 's words , `` Taking any of these deals will make millions of Americans angry '' . King Creole extension ( edit ) Presley was originally scheduled to be inducted on January 20 , 1958 . However , due to commitments at Paramount and the filming schedule of his latest film , King Creole , Presley had to personally write to the Memphis Draft Board to request a deferment . He explained to them that Paramount had already spent up to $350,000 on pre-production of the film , and that many jobs were dependent on him being able to complete filming , which was due to begin on January 13 . They granted him an extension until the middle of March . When news of the extension broke , angry letters were sent to the Memphis Draft Board complaining about the `` special treatment '' that Presley was receiving . According to Milton Bowers , head of the draft board and angered by the public outcry , Presley `` would have automatically gotten the extension ( anyway ) if he had n't been Elvis Presley the superstar '' . Worried that rock and roll music was a passing `` fad '' , Presley wanted to make King Creole the best role he had ever acted . He knew that two years out of the limelight would mean hard work when he returned , and so he gave his all in that film to show the world that he had the potential to return as a serious , dramatic actor . Author Alanna Nash described it as `` the performance that would forever define his potential '' . Army Life ( edit ) Induction ( edit ) Presley being sworn into the U.S. Army at Fort Chaffee , Arkansas , March 24 , 1958 Two weeks after finishing King Creole , Presley reported for his induction on March 24 , 1958 , a day dubbed `` black Monday '' for his fans by the press . Presley was given a physical and assigned Army serial number 53310761 , before being sworn in and made leader of his group . Parker , with the permission of the Army , had arranged for news crews from around the world to be on hand to report Presley 's entry into the Army . After his final goodbyes to family and friends , Presley and his fellow recruits were taken by bus to Fort Chaffee , Arkansas . Fort Hood ( edit ) Presley spent four days at Fort Chaffee before being transferred to Fort Hood in Texas . After being assigned to Company A of the Third Armored Division 's 1st Medium Tank Battalion , Presley completed basic training by June . He had become a pistol sharpshooter , and expressed his enjoyment at the `` rough and tumble '' of the tanks obstacle course . To friends back home , however , he was less upbeat . In letters to friend Alan Fortas , Presley described his homesickness and insisted that he hated the training . Eddie Fadal , another of Presley 's friends , remembers that Presley would worry about his career , fearing it was all over . One of Presley 's instructors , Bill Norwood , who let Presley use his phone to call home on many occasions , recalls Presley breaking down in tears during many of these phone calls . After a short break to record new material for RCA Victor in June , Presley returned to Fort Hood to finish his tank training . He was now living off post , in his own house , with his mother , father , grandmother , and friend Lamar Fike ; soldiers who had dependents living off post were allowed to live with them . Having his family close by cheered him up immensely , although he still spoke to friends about his fears for his career . Parker , who was often a visitor to Presley 's home , would attempt to reassure his client . Parker had arranged for enough material and merchandise to be available to keep Presley 's name in the public arena during his two years in the service . Although Presley nodded along in agreement with his manager , he was not really convinced that he could return to what he had known previously . Mother 's death ( edit ) In early August , while in Texas with her son , Gladys took ill . She had recently increased her alcohol intake to cope with her son 's fame and Army commitments , and she had also begun using diet pills to attempt to lose weight . This , coupled with a bad diet , had led to the deterioration of her liver . One afternoon , after a heated argument with her husband Vernon , Gladys collapsed from exhaustion . Presley arranged for her and Vernon to return to Memphis on August 8 . The next day Gladys ' condition worsened so rapidly that she was rushed to a hospital . On August 11 , after calls from her doctor , Presley requested emergency leave to visit with his mother . After initially being turned down and threatening to go AWOL , Presley was eventually given permission to leave on August 12 . The officer who initially denied Presley his emergency leave was later disciplined for his actions . On August 14 , Gladys died from Cirrhosis . The official cause of death was listed as heart attack , but the Presleys refused an autopsy to verify it . Presley and Vernon were both devastated by her death . Her funeral was held on August 15 , and Presley collapsed several times before , during , and after the service . His mother had always been the most important person in his life , and now he felt as though everything he had worked for had been for nothing . Presley 's leave was extended by five days on August 18 , and when he finally left to return to Fort Hood he left instructions that nothing in his mother 's room was to be altered . Life in Germany ( edit ) 1958 ( edit ) Bad Nauheim Villa Grunewald After training at Fort Hood , Presley was assigned to the 3rd Armored Division in Friedberg , West Germany . He left Fort Hood on September 19 , headed for Brooklyn Army Terminal in New York where he and his division would ship out to West Germany on September 22 . After a short press conference arranged by Parker , which also involved Presley walking up and down the plank of the USS General George M. Randall eight times for cameras , the ship set sail and Presley would spend the rest of his service overseas . During the crossing Presley became a friend of a fellow soldier named Charlie Hodge . Hodge , who had enjoyed some success as an entertainer himself before being drafted , encouraged Presley to help him put together a show for the troops . Presley accepted his request , but only agreed to play piano in the background ; Parker had drilled into him that there would be no public performances of any kind during his service . Hodge would become such a close friend to Presley during their time in the Army that he was invited to work for him when they were both discharged . On October 1 the General George M. Randall arrived in West Germany and Presley was once again offered the chance to join Special Services . Again he politely refused , and was instead given the task of driving the commanding officer of Company D , Captain Russell . Russell , however , did not take to the attention surrounding Presley , and he was transferred to driving duties for Reconnaissance Platoon Sergeant Ira Jones of Company C . Shortly after arriving in West Germany , Presley was allowed to live off post . He and his family moved into Hilberts Park Hotel in Bad Nauheim , but within three weeks they had moved to the more elegant Hotel Grunewald . Parker wrote on a nearly daily basis to Presley about how things were going back home . He had acquired deals with RCA and 20th Century - Fox to make sure Presley 's return to public life would go as smoothly as possible . RCA agreed to release an album of Presley 's press conference the day he left for West Germany ; titled Elvis Sails , the album would pay Presley $0.22 per sale in royalties , guaranteed up to at least 100,000 copies . 20th Century - Fox had agreed upon a $200,000 fee for one Presley film , with options on a second for $250,000 and a 50 / 50 split on profits . Paramount , too , had signed deals to produce a number of new Presley films after his release ; what would eventually become G.I. Blues was agreed upon for $175,000 and a three - picture option was also included . Parker also reassured his client about the press coverage he was receiving while overseas . News outlets were reporting regularly on stories , mostly released by Parker himself , about plans for Presley 's return to entertainment . Stories of wild parties in Presley 's hotel room were also making it into the papers regularly , and Parker was forced to hold a press conference to dispel these rumors . For Presley , however , being away in West Germany was not all happy times . He would often write home to friends and family about how homesick he was , how desperately he missed his mother , and of how his fears about his career still clouded his mind . Introduced to amphetamines by a sergeant while on maneuvers , he became `` practically evangelical about their benefits '' -- not only for energy , but for `` strength '' and weight loss , as well -- and many of his friends in the outfit joined him in indulging . The Army also introduced Presley to karate , which he studied seriously , later including it in his live performances . Fellow soldiers have attested to Presley 's wish to be seen as an able , ordinary soldier , despite his fame , and to his generosity while in the service . He donated his Army pay to charity , purchased TV sets for the post , and bought an extra set of fatigues for everyone in his outfit . 1959 ( edit ) Presley in Germany Presley in Germany In early 1959 , after a combination of a few complaints from other guests about the behavior of Presley fans wanting to see him at the Grunewald Hotel and the arrival of King Saud of Saudi Arabia , whose rather large entourage demanded the closing of the entire facility so that they could be well taken of , particularly as his stay there was for medical reasons , Elvis and the group left the hotel and moved to a five bedroom house nearby , at # 14 Goethestrasse , soon to become the then West Germany 's most celebrated private address Fans would congregate outside the house to see Presley as he came and went to work , and a sign was put up stating that autographs would be given between 7.30 and 8.00 pm. . Although Presley 's manager had forbidden him from performing while in the Army , pressure from RCA for him to record new material led to Parker sending a microphone and a tape recorder to West Germany . Presley had recorded a handful of songs before he left for West Germany to cover his time away , but RCA was worried that they would run out of material before March 1960 . In a letter to his client , Parker explained that recordings of Presley with just a piano for accompaniment , singing gospel songs would be good enough ; his fans would just want to hear him sing anything . Presley used the recorder to mess around with friends and family , singing mainly gospel and current hits , but none of these recordings were sent back for release by RCA . Decades later these recordings would be released officially on titles such as Private Presley and Home Recordings . In June , with 15 days leave to enjoy , Presley and his friends traveled to Munich and Paris . Two days in Munich were followed by over a week of partying in Paris where , on several occasions , Presley would invite the whole chorus line of girls from The 4 O'Clock club back to his hotel . Dee Stanley ( edit ) Around this time Presley 's father , Vernon , had been getting close to a woman named Dee Stanley , the wife of Army sergeant Bill Stanley . Originally Dee had written to Presley inviting him to dinner . She had seen him live during one of his earliest performances in the fifties , and she was keen to meet a star of his stature . Presley , not interested in dinner with someone he knew was considerably older , sent his father in his place . Most biographers state that Dee was already in the process of divorcing her husband when she met Vernon , but some others claim that Vernon had gotten to know both of them together , and was even asked by Bill to help him save his marriage . When Presley heard of the relationship between his father and Dee he flew into a rage ; in his mind his father had no business to be setting up with another woman so soon after the death of Gladys . Dee returned to the USA in the summer of 1959 , closely followed by Vernon , and the pair returned to West Germany together . Close friends of Presley have stated that Bill received a `` handsome payoff '' for his signature on the divorce papers . Dee and Vernon would eventually marry in 1960 , with her children becoming stepbrothers to Presley . Although Presley never liked Dee , he became very close to her young children and welcomed them to his home as the brothers he never had ; in later years they would be employed as bodyguards and drivers . Dee Stanley Presley died on September 28 , 2013 . Elvis meets Priscilla ( edit ) On September 13 , airman Currie Grant , who had met Presley a couple of months earlier , introduced him to 14 - year - old Priscilla Beaulieu during a party at Bob 's home . Witnesses recall that Presley took an instant liking to Priscilla , and the pair were practically inseparable during the rest of his time in West Germany . They would eventually marry after a seven - and - a-half - year courtship . In her autobiography , Priscilla says that despite his worries that it would ruin his career , Parker convinced Presley that to gain popular respect , he should serve his country as a regular soldier rather than in Special Services , where he would have been able to give some musical performances and stay in touch with the public . Media reports echoed Presley 's concerns about his career , but RCA producer Steve Sholes and Freddy Bienstock of Hill and Range had carefully prepared for his two - year hiatus . Armed with a substantial amount of unreleased material , they kept up a regular stream of successful releases . Between his induction and discharge , Presley had ten top 40 hits , including `` Wear My Ring Around Your Neck '' , the best - selling `` Hard Headed Woman '' , and `` One Night '' in 1958 , and `` ( Now and Then There 's ) A Fool Such as I '' and the number one `` A Big Hunk o ' Love '' in 1959 . RCA also managed to generate four albums compiling old material during this period , most successfully Elvis ' Golden Records ( 1958 ) , which hit number three on the LP chart . Discharge ( edit ) Plaque at Prestwick Airport recording the only occasion when Elvis Presley set foot in the UK On January 20 , 1960 , Presley was promoted to sergeant . The army held a press conference on March 1 before Presley departed from West Germany . Presley was asked about his decision to serve as a regular soldier instead of as part of the service club . He said , `` I was in a funny position . Actually , that 's the only way it could be . People were expecting me to mess up , to goof up in one way or another . They thought I could n't take it and so forth , and I was determined to go to any limits to prove otherwise , not only to the people who were wondering , but to myself '' . On March 2 , with Priscilla in attendance , Presley waved goodbye to the fans and media of Germany and flew home to the U.S. En route his plane stopped at Prestwick Airport in Scotland to refuel ; this was the one and only time that Presley would set foot in the United Kingdom . On March 3 Presley 's plane arrived at McGuire Air Force Base near Fort Dix , New Jersey at 7 : 42 am . Nancy Sinatra , RCA representatives , and Parker were there to welcome him home , as well as a huge crowd of fans . Two days later , on March 5 , Presley was officially discharged from active duty . Awards ( edit ) Upon completion of his service Presley was awarded the Army Good Conduct Medal . He also qualified as an expert marksman with several weapons .

A violent skirmish breaks out between Red Lizard and Blue Skull ( 青い 髑髏 ( ブルー スカル ) , Burū Sukaru ) , a rival guild , leaving Mavis the apparent sole survivor alongside Zera , the young daughter of Red Lizard 's master . Seven years later , a band of treasure hunters -- Yuri Dreyar , Precht Gaebolg , and Warrod Sequen -- come to the island in search of its sacred relic , the Sirius Orb ( 天 狼 玉 , Tenrōgyoku ) . As Mavis and Yuri contend over ownership of the orb , they discover it has already been taken by Blue Skull . Mavis proposes she and Zera accompany the treasure hunters to recover the orb . The group journeys to the city of Magnolia , where Blue Skull has established a brutal regime . Mavis fails to bluff the guild 's master into returning the orb with her illusory magic , and she retreats into the forest with her outmatched allies . There Mavis encounters a young man who , unbeknownst to her , is the infamous dark wizard Zeref . Mavis expresses sympathy for the youth , who is afflicted with a curse that kills all life around him , and convinces him to teach her and her allies how to use magic to combat Blue Skull . After they successfully use their magic to overthrow Blue Skull , Mavis discovers that the orb has become contaminated with evil magic . When Yuri takes the orb for himself , he unwillingly fuses with a massive skeletal dragon utilized by Blue Skull and mindlessly rampages through the city . Mavis exorcises the magic possessing Yuri by casting Law ( ロウ , Rō ) , a prototype spell learned from Zeref . As a side effect of using the spell , however , Mavis becomes permanently ageless . After recovering and learning of Mavis 's condition , Yuri dedicates himself to protecting her as a friend . He also reveals to Mavis that Zera is an illusion only she can perceive ; Zera further confirms that the real Zera died during Blue Skull 's raid on the island , and that Mavis subconsciously replicated her to cope with her death . Mavis accepts Zera as an illusion , causing her to disappear . To help the people of Magnolia rebuild , Mavis and the treasure hunters organize the Fairy Tail wizard guild in Zera 's memory .

In octopus eyes , the nerve fibers route behind the retina , and do not block light or disrupt the retina .

Distribution of rods and cones along a line passing through the fovea and the blind spot of a human eye A blind spot , scotoma , is an obscuration of the visual field . A particular blind spot known as the physiological blind spot , `` blind point '' , or punctum caecum in medical literature , is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light - detecting photoreceptor cells on the optic disc of the retina where the optic nerve passes through the optic disc . Because there are no cells to detect light on the optic disc , the corresponding part of the field of vision is invisible . Some process in our brains interpolates the blind spot based on surrounding detail and information from the other eye , so we do not normally perceive the blind spot . Although all vertebrates have this blind spot , cephalopod eyes , which are only superficially similar , do not . In them , the optic nerve approaches the receptors from behind , so it does not create a break in the retina . The first documented observation of the phenomenon was in the 1660s by Edme Mariotte in France . At the time it was generally thought that the point at which the optic nerve entered the eye should actually be the most sensitive portion of the retina ; however , Mariotte 's discovery disproved this theory . The blind spot is located about 12 -- 15 ° temporally and 1.5 ° below the horizontal and is roughly 7.5 ° high and 5.5 ° wide .

Place your eye a distance from the screen approximately equal to 3 × the distance between the R and the L. Move your eye towards or away from the screen until you notice the other letter disappear . For example , close your right eye , look at the `` L '' with your left eye , and the `` R '' will disappear .

"\"Make You Feel My Love\" is a song written by Bob Dylan from his album Time Out of Mind (1997). It was first released commercially by Billy Joel, under the title \"To Make You Feel My Love\", before Dylan's version appeared later that same year. It has since been covered by numerous performers and has proved to be a commercial success for recording artists such as Adele, Garth Brooks, Bryan Ferry, Kelly Clarkson and Ane Brun. Two covers of the song (one by Garth Brooks and one by Trisha Yearwood) were featured on the soundtrack of the 1998 film Hope Floats.[1] Dylan eventually released the song as a single."

To Kill a Mockingbird First edition cover -- late printing Author Harper Lee Country United States Language English Genre Southern Gothic , Bildungsroman Published July 11 , 1960 Publisher J.B. Lippincott & Co . Pages 281 To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960 . It was immediately successful , winning the Pulitzer Prize , and has become a classic of modern American literature . The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee 's observations of her family , her neighbors and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville , Alabama , in 1936 , when she was 10 years old . The story is told by the six - year - old Jean Louise Finch . The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor , despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality . The narrator 's father , Atticus Finch , has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers . One critic explains the novel 's impact by writing , `` In the twentieth century , To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America , and its protagonist , Atticus Finch , the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism . '' As a Southern Gothic novel and a Bildungsroman , the primary themes of To Kill a Mockingbird involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence . Scholars have noted that Lee also addresses issues of class , courage , compassion , and gender roles in the American Deep South . The book is widely taught in schools in the United States with lessons that emphasize tolerance and decry prejudice . Despite its themes , To Kill a Mockingbird has been subject to campaigns for removal from public classrooms , often challenged for its use of racial epithets . Reaction to the novel varied widely upon publication . Despite the number of copies sold and its widespread use in education , literary analysis of it is sparse . Author Mary McDonough Murphy , who collected individual impressions of To Kill a Mockingbird by several authors and public figures , calls the book `` an astonishing phenomenon '' . In 2006 , British librarians ranked the book ahead of the Bible as one `` every adult should read before they die '' . It was adapted into an Oscar - winning film in 1962 by director Robert Mulligan , with a screenplay by Horton Foote . Since 1990 , a play based on the novel has been performed annually in Harper Lee 's hometown . To Kill a Mockingbird was Lee 's only published book until Go Set a Watchman , an earlier draft of To Kill a Mockingbird , was published on July 14 , 2015 . Lee continued to respond to her work 's impact until her death in February 2016 , although she had refused any personal publicity for herself or the novel since 1964 .

She attended Huntingdon College in Montgomery ( 1944 -- 45 ) , and then studied law at the University of Alabama ( 1945 -- 49 ) . While attending college , she wrote for campus literary magazines : Huntress at Huntingdon and the humor magazine Rammer Jammer at the University of Alabama . At both colleges , she wrote short stories and other works about racial injustice , a rarely mentioned topic on such campuses at the time . In 1950 , Lee moved to New York City , where she worked as a reservation clerk for British Overseas Airways Corporation ; there , she began writing a collection of essays and short stories about people in Monroeville . Hoping to be published , Lee presented her writing in 1957 to a literary agent recommended by Capote . An editor at J.B. Lippincott , who bought the manuscript , advised her to quit the airline and concentrate on writing . Donations from friends allowed her to write uninterrupted for a year . After finishing the first draft and returning it to Lippincott , the manuscript , at that point titled `` Go Set a Watchman '' , fell into the hands of Therese von Hohoff Torrey -- known professionally as Tay Hohoff -- a small , wiry veteran editor in her late 50s . Hohoff was impressed . `` ( T ) he spark of the true writer flashed in every line , '' she would later recount in a corporate history of Lippincott . But as Hohoff saw it , the manuscript was by no means fit for publication . It was , as she described it , `` more a series of anecdotes than a fully conceived novel . '' During the next couple of years , she led Lee from one draft to the next until the book finally achieved its finished form and was retitled To Kill a Mockingbird . Ultimately , Lee spent over two and a half years writing To Kill a Mockingbird . The book was published on July 11 , 1960 . After rejecting the `` Watchman '' title , it was initially re-titled Atticus , but Lee renamed it `` To Kill a Mockingbird '' to reflect that the story went beyond just a character portrait . The editorial team at Lippincott warned Lee that she would probably sell only several thousand copies . In 1964 , Lee recalled her hopes for the book when she said , `` I never expected any sort of success with ' Mockingbird . ' ... I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of the reviewers but , at the same time , I sort of hoped someone would like it enough to give me encouragement . Public encouragement . I hoped for a little , as I said , but I got rather a whole lot , and in some ways this was just about as frightening as the quick , merciful death I 'd expected . '' Instead of a `` quick and merciful death '' , Reader 's Digest Condensed Books chose the book for reprinting in part , which gave it a wide readership immediately . Since the original publication , the book has never been out of print . Plot summary See also : List of To Kill a Mockingbird characters The story takes place during three years ( 1933 -- 35 ) of the Great Depression in the fictional `` tired old town '' of Maycomb , Alabama , the seat of Maycomb County . It focuses on six - year - old Jean Louise Finch ( nicknamed Scout ) , who lives with her older brother , Jeremy ( nicknamed Jem ) , and their widowed father , Atticus , a middle - aged lawyer . Jem and Scout befriend a boy named Dill , who visits Maycomb to stay with his aunt each summer . The three children are terrified yet fascinated by their neighbor , the reclusive Arthur `` Boo '' Radley . The adults of Maycomb are hesitant to talk about Boo , and few of them have seen him for many years . The children feed one another 's imagination with rumors about his appearance and reasons for remaining hidden , and they fantasize about how to get him out of his house . After two summers of friendship with Dill , Scout and Jem find that someone leaves them small gifts in a tree outside the Radley place . Several times the mysterious Boo makes gestures of affection to the children , but , to their disappointment , he never appears in person . Judge Taylor appoints Atticus to defend Tom Robinson , a black man who has been accused of raping a young white woman , Mayella Ewell . Although many of Maycomb 's citizens disapprove , Atticus agrees to defend Tom to the best of his ability . Other children taunt Jem and Scout for Atticus 's actions , calling him a `` nigger - lover '' . Scout is tempted to stand up for her father 's honor by fighting , even though he has told her not to . Atticus faces a group of men intent on lynching Tom . This danger is averted when Scout , Jem , and Dill shame the mob into dispersing by forcing them to view the situation from Atticus ' and Tom 's perspective . Atticus does not want Jem and Scout to be present at Tom Robinson 's trial . No seat is available on the main floor , so by invitation of the Rev. Sykes , Jem , Scout , and Dill watch from the colored balcony . Atticus establishes that the accusers -- Mayella and her father , Bob Ewell , the town drunk -- are lying . It also becomes clear that the friendless Mayella made sexual advances toward Tom , and that her father caught her and beat her . Despite significant evidence of Tom 's innocence , the jury convicts him . Jem 's faith in justice becomes badly shaken , as is Atticus ' , when the hapless Tom is shot and killed while trying to escape from prison . Despite Tom 's conviction , Bob Ewell is humiliated by the events of the trial , Atticus explaining that he `` destroyed ( Ewell 's ) last shred of credibility at that trial . '' Ewell vows revenge , spitting in Atticus ' face , trying to break into the judge 's house , and menacing Tom Robinson 's widow . Finally , he attacks the defenseless Jem and Scout while they walk home on a dark night after the school Halloween pageant . Jem suffers a broken arm in the struggle , but amid the confusion someone comes to the children 's rescue . The mysterious man carries Jem home , where Scout realizes that he is Boo Radley . Sheriff Tate arrives and discovers that Bob Ewell has died during the fight . The sheriff argues with Atticus about the prudence and ethics of charging Jem ( whom Atticus believes to be responsible ) or Boo ( whom Tate believes to be responsible ) . Atticus eventually accepts the sheriff 's story that Ewell simply fell on his own knife . Boo asks Scout to walk him home , and after she says goodbye to him at his front door he disappears again . While standing on the Radley porch , Scout imagines life from Boo 's perspective , and regrets that they had never repaid him for the gifts he had given them . Scout then goes back home to Atticus and stays up with him for a while in Jem 's room . Soon Atticus takes her to bed and tucks her in , before leaving to go back to Jem . Autobiographical elements Lee has said that To Kill a Mockingbird is not an autobiography , but rather an example of how an author `` should write about what he knows and write truthfully '' . Nevertheless , several people and events from Lee 's childhood parallel those of the fictional Scout. Lee 's father , Amasa Coleman Lee , was an attorney , similar to Atticus Finch , and in 1919 , he defended two black men accused of murder . After they were convicted , hanged and mutilated , he never tried another criminal case . Lee 's father was also the editor and publisher of the Monroeville newspaper . Although more of a proponent of racial segregation than Atticus , he gradually became more liberal in his later years . Though Scout 's mother died when she was a baby , Lee was 25 when her mother , Frances Cunningham Finch , died . Lee 's mother was prone to a nervous condition that rendered her mentally and emotionally absent . Lee 's older brother Edwin was the inspiration for Jem . Lee modeled the character of Dill on her childhood friend , Truman Capote , known then as Truman Persons . Just as Dill lived next door to Scout during the summer , Capote lived next door to Lee with his aunts while his mother visited New York City . Like Dill , Capote had an impressive imagination and a gift for fascinating stories . Both Lee and Capote were atypical children : both loved to read . Lee was a scrappy tomboy who was quick to fight , but Capote was ridiculed for his advanced vocabulary and lisp . She and Capote made up and acted out stories they wrote on an old Underwood typewriter Lee 's father gave them . They became good friends when both felt alienated from their peers ; Capote called the two of them `` apart people '' . In 1960 , Capote and Lee traveled to Kansas together to investigate the multiple murders that were the basis for Capote 's nonfiction novel In Cold Blood . Down the street from the Lees lived a family whose house was always boarded up ; they served as the models for the fictional Radleys . The son of the family got into some legal trouble and the father kept him at home for 24 years out of shame . He was hidden until virtually forgotten ; he died in 1952 . The origin of Tom Robinson is less clear , although many have speculated that his character was inspired by several models . When Lee was 10 years old , a white woman near Monroeville accused a black man named Walter Lett of raping her . The story and the trial were covered by her father 's newspaper which reported that Lett was convicted and sentenced to death . After a series of letters appeared claiming Lett had been falsely accused , his sentence was commuted to life in prison . He died there of tuberculosis in 1937 . Scholars believe that Robinson 's difficulties reflect the notorious case of the Scottsboro Boys , in which nine black men were convicted of raping two white women on negligible evidence . However , in 2005 , Lee stated that she had in mind something less sensational , although the Scottsboro case served `` the same purpose '' to display Southern prejudices . Emmett Till , a black teenager who was murdered for allegedly flirting with a white woman in Mississippi in 1955 , and whose death is credited as a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement , is also considered a model for Tom Robinson . Style The narrative is very tough , because ( Lee ) has to both be a kid on the street and aware of the mad dogs and the spooky houses , and have this beautiful vision of how justice works and all the creaking mechanisms of the courthouse . Part of the beauty is that she ... trusts the visual to lead her , and the sensory . -- Allan Gurganus The strongest element of style noted by critics and reviewers is Lee 's talent for narration , which in an early review in Time was called `` tactile brilliance '' . Writing a decade later , another scholar noted , `` Harper Lee has a remarkable gift of story - telling . Her art is visual , and with cinematographic fluidity and subtlety we see a scene melting into another scene without jolts of transition . '' Lee combines the narrator 's voice of a child observing her surroundings with a grown woman 's reflecting on her childhood , using the ambiguity of this voice combined with the narrative technique of flashback to play intricately with perspectives . This narrative method allows Lee to tell a `` delightfully deceptive '' story that mixes the simplicity of childhood observation with adult situations complicated by hidden motivations and unquestioned tradition . However , at times the blending causes reviewers to question Scout 's preternatural vocabulary and depth of understanding . Both Harding LeMay and the novelist and literary critic Granville Hicks expressed doubt that children as sheltered as Scout and Jem could understand the complexities and horrors involved in the trial for Tom Robinson 's life . Writing about Lee 's style and use of humor in a tragic story , scholar Jacqueline Tavernier - Courbin states : `` Laughter ... ( exposes ) the gangrene under the beautiful surface but also by demeaning it ; one can hardly ... be controlled by what one is able to laugh at . '' Scout 's precocious observations about her neighbors and behavior inspired National Endowment of the Arts director David Kipen to call her `` hysterically funny '' . To address complex issues , however , Tavernier - Courbin notes that Lee uses parody , satire , and irony effectively by using a child 's perspective . After Dill promises to marry her , then spends too much time with Jem , Scout reasons the best way to get him to pay attention to her is to beat him up , which she does several times . Scout 's first day in school is a satirical treatment of education ; her teacher says she must undo the damage Atticus has wrought in teaching her to read and write , and forbids Atticus from teaching her further . Lee treats the most unfunny situations with irony , however , as Jem and Scout try to understand how Maycomb embraces racism and still tries sincerely to remain a decent society . Satire and irony are used to such an extent that Tavernier - Courbin suggests one interpretation for the book 's title : Lee is doing the mocking -- of education , the justice system , and her own society -- by using them as subjects of her humorous disapproval . Critics also note the entertaining methods used to drive the plot . When Atticus is out of town , Jem locks a Sunday school classmate in the church basement with the furnace during a game of Shadrach . This prompts their black housekeeper Calpurnia to escort Scout and Jem to her church , which allows the children a glimpse into her personal life , as well as Tom Robinson 's . Scout falls asleep during the Halloween pageant and makes a tardy entrance onstage , causing the audience to laugh uproariously . She is so distracted and embarrassed that she prefers to go home in her ham costume , which saves her life . Genres Scholars have characterized To Kill a Mockingbird as both a Southern Gothic and a Bildungsroman . The grotesque and near - supernatural qualities of Boo Radley and his house , and the element of racial injustice involving Tom Robinson , contribute to the aura of the Gothic in the novel . Lee used the term `` Gothic '' to describe the architecture of Maycomb 's courthouse and in regard to Dill 's exaggeratedly morbid performances as Boo Radley . Outsiders are also an important element of Southern Gothic texts and Scout and Jem 's questions about the hierarchy in the town cause scholars to compare the novel to Catcher in the Rye and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn . Despite challenging the town 's systems , Scout reveres Atticus as an authority above all others , because he believes that following one 's conscience is the highest priority , even when the result is social ostracism . However , scholars debate about the Southern Gothic classification , noting that Boo Radley is in fact human , protective , and benevolent . Furthermore , in addressing themes such as alcoholism , incest , rape , and racial violence , Lee wrote about her small town realistically rather than melodramatically . She portrays the problems of individual characters as universal underlying issues in every society . As children coming of age , Scout and Jem face hard realities and learn from them . Lee seems to examine Jem 's sense of loss about how his neighbors have disappointed him more than Scout 's . Jem says to their neighbor Miss Maudie the day after the trial , `` It 's like bein ' a caterpillar wrapped in a cocoon ... I always thought Maycomb folks were the best folks in the world , least that 's what they seemed like '' . This leads him to struggle with understanding the separations of race and class . Just as the novel is an illustration of the changes Jem faces , it is also an exploration of the realities Scout must face as an atypical girl on the verge of womanhood . As one scholar writes , `` To Kill a Mockingbird can be read as a feminist Bildungsroman , for Scout emerges from her childhood experiences with a clear sense of her place in her community and an awareness of her potential power as the woman she will one day be . '' Themes In the 33 years since its publication , ( To Kill a Mockingbird ) has never been the focus of a dissertation , and it has been the subject of only six literary studies , several of them no more than a couple of pages long . -- Claudia Johnson in To Kill a Mockingbird : Threatening Boundaries , 1994 Despite the novel 's immense popularity upon publication , it has not received the close critical attention paid to other modern American classics . Don Noble , editor of a book of essays about the novel , estimates that the ratio of sales to analytical essays may be a million to one . Christopher Metress writes that the book is `` an icon whose emotive sway remains strangely powerful because it also remains unexamined '' . Noble suggests it does not receive academic attention because of its consistent status as a best - seller ( `` If that many people like it , it ca n't be any good . '' ) and that general readers seem to feel they do not require analytical interpretation . Harper Lee has remained famously detached from interpreting the novel since the mid-1960s . However , she gave some insight into her themes when , in a rare letter to the editor , she wrote in response to the passionate reaction her book caused : `` Surely it is plain to the simplest intelligence that To Kill a Mockingbird spells out in words of seldom more than two syllables a code of honor and conduct , Christian in its ethic , that is the heritage of all Southerners . '' Southern life and racial injustice When the book was released , reviewers noted that it was divided into two parts , and opinion was mixed about Lee 's ability to connect them . The first part of the novel concerns the children 's fascination with Boo Radley and their feelings of safety and comfort in the neighborhood . Reviewers were generally charmed by Scout and Jem 's observations of their quirky neighbors . One writer was so impressed by Lee 's detailed explanations of the people of Maycomb that he categorized the book as Southern romantic regionalism . This sentimentalism can be seen in Lee 's representation of the Southern caste system to explain almost every character 's behavior in the novel . Scout 's Aunt Alexandra attributes Maycomb 's inhabitants ' faults and advantages to genealogy ( families that have gambling streaks and drinking streaks ) , and the narrator sets the action and characters amid a finely detailed background of the Finch family history and the history of Maycomb . This regionalist theme is further reflected in Mayella Ewell 's apparent powerlessness to admit her advances toward Tom Robinson , and Scout 's definition of `` fine folks '' being people with good sense who do the best they can with what they have . The South itself , with its traditions and taboos , seems to drive the plot more than the characters . The second part of the novel deals with what book reviewer Harding LeMay termed `` the spirit - corroding shame of the civilized white Southerner in the treatment of the Negro '' . In the years following its release , many reviewers considered To Kill a Mockingbird a novel primarily concerned with race relations . Claudia Durst Johnson considers it `` reasonable to believe '' that the novel was shaped by two events involving racial issues in Alabama : Rosa Parks ' refusal to yield her seat on a city bus to a white person , which sparked the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott , and the 1956 riots at the University of Alabama after Autherine Lucy and Polly Myers were admitted ( Myers eventually withdrew her application and Lucy was expelled , but reinstated in 1980 ) . In writing about the historical context of the novel 's construction , two other literary scholars remark : `` To Kill a Mockingbird was written and published amidst the most significant and conflict - ridden social change in the South since the Civil War and Reconstruction . Inevitably , despite its mid-1930s setting , the story told from the perspective of the 1950s voices the conflicts , tensions , and fears induced by this transition . '' Scholar Patrick Chura , who suggests Emmett Till was a model for Tom Robinson , enumerates the injustices endured by the fictional Tom that Till also faced . Chura notes the icon of the black rapist causing harm to the representation of the `` mythologized vulnerable and sacred Southern womanhood '' . Any transgressions by black males that merely hinted at sexual contact with white females during the time the novel was set often resulted in a punishment of death for the accused . Tom Robinson 's trial was juried by poor white farmers who convicted him despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence , as more educated and moderate white townspeople supported the jury 's decision . Furthermore , the victim of racial injustice in To Kill a Mockingbird was physically impaired , which made him unable to commit the act he was accused of , but also crippled him in other ways . Roslyn Siegel includes Tom Robinson as an example of the recurring motif among white Southern writers of the black man as `` stupid , pathetic , defenseless , and dependent upon the fair dealing of the whites , rather than his own intelligence to save him '' . Although Tom is spared from being lynched , he is killed with excessive violence during an attempted escape from prison , being shot seventeen times . The theme of racial injustice appears symbolically in the novel as well . For example , Atticus must shoot a rabid dog , even though it is not his job to do so . Carolyn Jones argues that the dog represents prejudice within the town of Maycomb , and Atticus , who waits on a deserted street to shoot the dog , must fight against the town 's racism without help from other white citizens . He is also alone when he faces a group intending to lynch Tom Robinson and once more in the courthouse during Tom 's trial . Lee even uses dreamlike imagery from the mad dog incident to describe some of the courtroom scenes . Jones writes , `` ( t ) he real mad dog in Maycomb is the racism that denies the humanity of Tom Robinson ... When Atticus makes his summation to the jury , he literally bares himself to the jury 's and the town 's anger . '' Class One of the amazing things about the writing in To Kill a Mockingbird is the economy with which Harper Lee delineates not only race -- white and black within a small community -- but class . I mean different kinds of black people and white people both , from poor white trash to the upper crust -- the whole social fabric . -- Lee Smith In a 1964 interview , Lee remarked that her aspiration was `` to be ... the Jane Austen of South Alabama . '' Both Austen and Lee challenged the social status quo and valued individual worth over social standing . When Scout embarrasses her poorer classmate , Walter Cunningham , at the Finch home one day , Calpurnia , their black cook , chastises and punishes her for doing so . Atticus respects Calpurnia 's judgment , and later in the book even stands up to his sister , the formidable Aunt Alexandra , when she strongly suggests they fire Calpurnia . One writer notes that Scout , `` in Austenian fashion '' , satirizes women with whom she does not wish to identify . Literary critic Jean Blackall lists the priorities shared by the two authors : `` affirmation of order in society , obedience , courtesy , and respect for the individual without regard for status '' . Scholars argue that Lee 's approach to class and race was more complex `` than ascribing racial prejudice primarily to ' poor white trash ' ... Lee demonstrates how issues of gender and class intensify prejudice , silence the voices that might challenge the existing order , and greatly complicate many Americans ' conception of the causes of racism and segregation . '' Lee 's use of the middle - class narrative voice is a literary device that allows an intimacy with the reader , regardless of class or cultural background , and fosters a sense of nostalgia . Sharing Scout and Jem 's perspective , the reader is allowed to engage in relationships with the conservative antebellum Mrs. Dubose ; the lower - class Ewells , and the Cunninghams who are equally poor but behave in vastly different ways ; the wealthy but ostracized Mr. Dolphus Raymond ; and Calpurnia and other members of the black community . The children internalize Atticus ' admonition not to judge someone until they have walked around in that person 's skin , gaining a greater understanding of people 's motives and behavior . Courage and compassion The novel has been noted for its poignant exploration of different forms of courage . Scout 's impulsive inclination to fight students who insult Atticus reflects her attempt to stand up for him and defend him . Atticus is the moral center of the novel , however , and he teaches Jem one of the most significant lessons of courage . In a statement that both foreshadows Atticus ' motivation for defending Tom Robinson and describes Mrs. Dubose , who is determined to break herself of a morphine addiction , Atticus tells Jem that courage is `` when you 're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what '' . Charles J. Shields , who wrote the first book - length biography of Harper Lee , offers the reason for the novel 's enduring popularity and impact is that `` its lessons of human dignity and respect for others remain fundamental and universal '' . Atticus ' lesson to Scout that `` you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view -- until you climb around in his skin and walk around in it '' exemplifies his compassion . She ponders the comment when listening to Mayella Ewell 's testimony . When Mayella reacts with confusion to Atticus ' question if she has any friends , Scout offers that she must be lonelier than Boo Radley . Having walked Boo home after he saves their lives , Scout stands on the Radley porch and considers the events of the previous three years from Boo 's perspective . One writer remarks , `` ... ( w ) hile the novel concerns tragedy and injustice , heartache and loss , it also carries with it a strong sense ( of ) courage , compassion , and an awareness of history to be better human beings . '' Gender roles Just as Lee explores Jem 's development in coming to grips with a racist and unjust society , Scout realizes what being female means , and several female characters influence her development . Scout 's primary identification with her father and older brother allows her to describe the variety and depth of female characters in the novel both as one of them and as an outsider . Scout 's primary female models are Calpurnia and her neighbor Miss Maudie , both of whom are strong - willed , independent , and protective . Mayella Ewell also has an influence ; Scout watches her destroy an innocent man in order to hide her desire for him . The female characters who comment the most on Scout 's lack of willingness to adhere to a more feminine role are also those who promote the most racist and classist points of view . For example , Mrs. Dubose chastises Scout for not wearing a dress and camisole , and indicates she is ruining the family name by not doing so , in addition to insulting Atticus ' intentions to defend Tom Robinson . By balancing the masculine influences of Atticus and Jem with the feminine influences of Calpurnia and Miss Maudie , one scholar writes , `` Lee gradually demonstrates that Scout is becoming a feminist in the South , for with the use of first - person narration , she indicates that Scout / Jean Louise still maintains the ambivalence about being a Southern lady she possessed as a child . '' Absent mothers and abusive fathers are another theme in the novel . Scout and Jem 's mother died before Scout could remember her , Mayella 's mother is dead , and Mrs. Radley is silent about Boo 's confinement to the house . Apart from Atticus , the fathers described are abusers . Bob Ewell , it is hinted , molested his daughter , and Mr. Radley imprisons his son in his house to the extent that Boo is remembered only as a phantom . Bob Ewell and Mr. Radley represent a form of masculinity that Atticus does not , and the novel suggests that such men , as well as the traditionally feminine hypocrites at the Missionary Society , can lead society astray . Atticus stands apart as a unique model of masculinity ; as one scholar explains : `` It is the job of real men who embody the traditional masculine qualities of heroic individualism , bravery , and an unshrinking knowledge of and dedication to social justice and morality , to set the society straight . '' Laws , written and unwritten Allusions to legal issues in To Kill a Mockingbird , particularly in scenes outside of the courtroom , have drawn the attention of legal scholars . Claudia Durst Johnson writes that `` a greater volume of critical readings has been amassed by two legal scholars in law journals than by all the literary scholars in literary journals '' . The opening quote by the 19th - century essayist Charles Lamb reads : `` Lawyers , I suppose , were children once . '' Johnson notes that even in Scout and Jem 's childhood world , compromises and treaties are struck with each other by spitting on one 's palm , and laws are discussed by Atticus and his children : is it right that Bob Ewell hunts and traps out of season ? Many social codes are broken by people in symbolic courtrooms : Mr. Dolphus Raymond has been exiled by society for taking a black woman as his common - law wife and having interracial children ; Mayella Ewell is beaten by her father in punishment for kissing Tom Robinson ; by being turned into a non-person , Boo Radley receives a punishment far greater than any court could have given him . Scout repeatedly breaks codes and laws and reacts to her punishment for them . For example , she refuses to wear frilly clothes , saying that Aunt Alexandra 's `` fanatical '' attempts to place her in them made her feel `` a pink cotton penitentiary closing in on ( her ) '' . Johnson states , `` ( t ) he novel is a study of how Jem and Scout begin to perceive the complexity of social codes and how the configuration of relationships dictated by or set off by those codes fails or nurtures the inhabitants of ( their ) small worlds . '' Loss of innocence Lee used the mockingbird to symbolize innocence in the novel Songbirds and their associated symbolism appear throughout the novel . Their family name Finch is also Lee 's mother 's maiden name . The titular mockingbird is a key motif of this theme , which first appears when Atticus , having given his children air - rifles for Christmas , allows their Uncle Jack to teach them to shoot . Atticus warns them that , although they can `` shoot all the bluejays they want '' , they must remember that `` it 's a sin to kill a mockingbird '' . Confused , Scout approaches her neighbor Miss Maudie , who explains that mockingbirds never harm other living creatures . She points out that mockingbirds simply provide pleasure with their songs , saying , `` They do n't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us . '' Writer Edwin Bruell summarized the symbolism when he wrote in 1964 , `` ' To kill a mockingbird ' is to kill that which is innocent and harmless -- like Tom Robinson . '' Scholars have noted that Lee often returns to the mockingbird theme when trying to make a moral point . Tom Robinson is the chief example among several innocents destroyed carelessly or deliberately throughout the novel . However , scholar Christopher Metress connects the mockingbird to Boo Radley : `` Instead of wanting to exploit Boo for her own fun ( as she does in the beginning of the novel by putting on gothic plays about his history ) , Scout comes to see him as a ' mockingbird ' -- that is , as someone with an inner goodness that must be cherished . '' The last pages of the book illustrate this as Scout relates the moral of a story Atticus has been reading to her , and , in allusions to both Boo Radley and Tom Robinson , states about a character who was misunderstood , `` when they finally saw him , why he had n't done any of those things ... Atticus , he was real nice , '' to which he responds , `` Most people are , Scout , when you finally see them . '' The novel exposes the loss of innocence so frequently that reviewer R.A. Dave claims that because every character has to face , or even suffer defeat , the book takes on elements of a classical tragedy . In exploring how each character deals with his or her own personal defeat , Lee builds a framework to judge whether the characters are heroes or fools . She guides the reader in such judgments , alternating between unabashed adoration and biting irony . Scout 's experience with the Missionary Society is an ironic juxtaposition of women who mock her , gossip , and `` reflect a smug , colonialist attitude toward other races '' while giving the `` appearance of gentility , piety , and morality '' . Conversely , when Atticus loses Tom 's case , he is last to leave the courtroom , except for his children and the black spectators in the colored balcony , who rise silently as he walks underneath them , to honor his efforts . Reception Despite her editors ' warnings that the book might not sell well , it quickly became a sensation , bringing acclaim to Lee in literary circles , in her hometown of Monroeville , and throughout Alabama . The book went through numerous subsequent printings and became widely available through its inclusion in the Book of the Month Club and editions released by Reader 's Digest Condensed Books . Initial reactions to the novel were varied . The New Yorker declared Lee `` a skilled , unpretentious , and totally ingenuous writer '' , and The Atlantic Monthly 's reviewer rated the book `` pleasant , undemanding reading '' , but found the narrative voice -- `` a six - year - old girl with the prose style of a well - educated adult '' -- to be implausible . Time magazine 's 1960 review of the book states that it `` teaches the reader an astonishing number of useful truths about little girls and about Southern life '' and calls Scout Finch `` the most appealing child since Carson McCullers ' Frankie got left behind at the wedding '' . The Chicago Sunday Tribune noted the even - handed approach to the narration of the novel 's events , writing : `` This is in no way a sociological novel . It underlines no cause ... To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel of strong contemporary national significance . '' Not all reviewers were enthusiastic . Some lamented the use of poor white Southerners , and one - dimensional black victims , and Granville Hicks labeled the book `` melodramatic and contrived '' . When the book was first released , Southern writer Flannery O'Connor commented , `` I think for a child 's book it does all right . It 's interesting that all the folks that are buying it do n't know they 're reading a child 's book . Somebody ought to say what it is . '' Carson McCullers apparently agreed with the Time magazine review , writing to a cousin : `` Well , honey , one thing we know is that she 's been poaching on my literary preserves . '' One year after its publication To Kill a Mockingbird had been translated into ten languages . In the years since , it has sold more than 30 million copies and been translated into more than 40 languages . The novel has never been out of print in hardcover or paperback , and has become part of the standard literature curriculum . A 2008 survey of secondary books read by students between grades 9 -- 12 in the U.S. indicates the novel is the most widely read book in these grades . A 1991 survey by the Book of the Month Club and the Library of Congress Center for the Book found that To Kill a Mockingbird was rated behind only the Bible in books that are `` most often cited as making a difference '' . It is considered by some to be the `` Great American Novel '' . The 50th anniversary of the novel 's release was met with celebrations and reflections on its impact . Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune praises Lee 's `` rich use of language '' but writes that the central lesson is that `` courage is n't always flashy , is n't always enough , but is always in style '' . Jane Sullivan in the Sydney Morning Herald agrees , stating that the book `` still rouses fresh and horrified indignation '' as it examines morality , a topic that has recently become unfashionable . Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie writing in The Guardian states that Lee , rare among American novelists , writes with `` a fiercely progressive ink , in which there is nothing inevitable about racism and its very foundation is open to question '' , comparing her to William Faulkner , who wrote about racism as an inevitability . Literary critic Rosemary Goring in Scotland 's The Herald notes the connections between Lee and Jane Austen , stating the book 's central theme , that `` one 's moral convictions are worth fighting for , even at the risk of being reviled '' is eloquently discussed . Native Alabamian sports writer Allen Barra sharply criticized Lee and the novel in The Wall Street Journal calling Atticus a `` repository of cracker - barrel epigrams '' and the novel represents a `` sugar - coated myth '' of Alabama history . Barra writes , `` It 's time to stop pretending that To Kill a Mockingbird is some kind of timeless classic that ranks with the great works of American literature . Its bloodless liberal humanism is sadly dated '' . Thomas Mallon in The New Yorker criticizes Atticus ' stiff and self - righteous demeanor , and calls Scout `` a kind of highly constructed doll '' whose speech and actions are improbable . Although acknowledging that the novel works , Mallon blasts Lee 's `` wildly unstable '' narrative voice for developing a story about a content neighborhood until it begins to impart morals in the courtroom drama , following with his observation that `` the book has begun to cherish its own goodness '' by the time the case is over . Defending the book , Akin Ajayi writes that justice `` is often complicated , but must always be founded upon the notion of equality and fairness for all . '' Ajayi states that the book forces readers to question issues about race , class , and society , but that it was not written to resolve them . Many writers compare their perceptions of To Kill a Mockingbird as adults with when they first read it as children . Mary McDonagh Murphy interviewed celebrities including Oprah Winfrey , Rosanne Cash , Tom Brokaw , and Harper 's sister Alice Lee , who read the novel and compiled their impressions of it as children and adults into a book titled Scout , Atticus , and Boo . Atticus Finch and the legal profession Main article : Atticus Finch I promised myself that when I grew up and I was a man , I would try to do things just as good and noble as what Atticus had done for Tom Robinson . -- Scott Turow One of the most significant impacts To Kill a Mockingbird has had is Atticus Finch 's model of integrity for the legal profession . As scholar Alice Petry explains , `` Atticus has become something of a folk hero in legal circles and is treated almost as if he were an actual person . '' Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center cites Atticus Finch as the reason he became a lawyer , and Richard Matsch , the federal judge who presided over the Timothy McVeigh trial , counts Atticus as a major judicial influence . One law professor at the University of Notre Dame stated that the most influential textbook he taught from was To Kill a Mockingbird , and an article in the Michigan Law Review claims , `` No real - life lawyer has done more for the self - image or public perception of the legal profession , '' before questioning whether `` Atticus Finch is a paragon of honor or an especially slick hired gun '' . In 1992 , an Alabama editorial called for the death of Atticus , saying that as liberal as Atticus was , he still worked within a system of institutionalized racism and sexism and should not be revered . The editorial sparked a flurry of responses from attorneys who entered the profession because of him and esteemed him as a hero . Critics of Atticus maintain he is morally ambiguous and does not use his legal skills to challenge the racist status quo in Maycomb . However , in 1997 , the Alabama State Bar erected a monument to Atticus in Monroeville , marking his existence as the `` first commemorative milestone in the state 's judicial history '' . In 2008 , Lee herself received an honorary special membership to the Alabama State Bar for creating Atticus who `` has become the personification of the exemplary lawyer in serving the legal needs of the poor '' . Social commentary and challenges To Kill a Mockingbird has been a source of significant controversy since its being the subject of classroom study as early as 1963 . The book 's racial slurs , profanity , and frank discussion of rape have led people to challenge its appropriateness in libraries and classrooms across the United States . The American Library Association reported that To Kill a Mockingbird was number 21 of the 100 most frequently challenged books of 2000 -- 2009 . Following parental complaints about the racist language it contains , the novel was removed from classrooms in Virginia in 2016 and Biloxi in 2017 , where it was described as making people `` uncomfortable . '' In the Mississippi case , the novel was removed from the required reading list but subsequently made available to interested students with parental consent . Such decisions have been criticised : the American Civil Liberties Union noted the importance of engaging with the novel 's themes in places where racial injustice persists . Becky Little of The History Channel and representatives of the Mark Twain House pointed out the value of classics lies in their power to `` challenge the way we think about things '' ( Twain 's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has attracted similar controversy ) . Arne Duncan , who served as Secretary of Education under President Obama , noted that removal of the book from reading lists was evidence of a nation with `` real problems . '' In 1966 , a parent in Hanover , Virginia protested that the use of rape as a plot device was immoral . Johnson cites examples of letters to local newspapers , which ranged from amusement to fury ; those letters expressing the most outrage , however , complained about Mayella Ewell 's attraction to Tom Robinson over the depictions of rape . Upon learning the school administrators were holding hearings to decide the book 's appropriateness for the classroom , Harper Lee sent $10 to The Richmond News Leader suggesting it to be used toward the enrollment of `` the Hanover County School Board in any first grade of its choice '' . The National Education Association in 1968 placed the novel second on a list of books receiving the most complaints from private organizations -- after Little Black Sambo . With a shift of attitudes about race in the 1970s , To Kill a Mockingbird faced challenges of a different sort : the treatment of racism in Maycomb was not condemned harshly enough . This has led to disparate perceptions that the novel has a generally positive impact on race relations for white readers , but a more ambiguous reception by black readers . In one high - profile case outside the U.S. , school districts in the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia attempted to have the book removed from standard teaching curricula in the 1990s , stating : The terminology in this novel subjects students to humiliating experiences that rob them of their self - respect and the respect of their peers . The word ' Nigger ' is used 48 times ( in ) the novel ... We believe that the English Language Arts curriculum in Nova Scotia must enable all students to feel comfortable with ideas , feelings and experiences presented without fear of humiliation ... To Kill a Mockingbird is clearly a book that no longer meets these goals and therefore must no longer be used for classroom instruction . Furthermore , despite the novel 's thematic focus on racial injustice , its black characters are not fully examined . In its use of racial epithets , stereotyped depictions of superstitious blacks , and Calpurnia , who to some critics is an updated version of the `` contented slave '' motif and to others simply unexplored , the book is viewed as marginalizing black characters . One writer asserts that the use of Scout 's narration serves as a convenient mechanism for readers to be innocent and detached from the racial conflict . Scout 's voice `` functions as the not - me which allows the rest of us -- black and white , male and female -- to find our relative position in society '' . A teaching guide for the novel published by The English Journal cautions , `` what seems wonderful or powerful to one group of students may seem degrading to another '' . A Canadian language arts consultant found that the novel resonated well with white students , but that black students found it `` demoralizing '' . Another criticism , articulated by Michael Lind , is that the novel indulges in classist stereotyping and demonization of poor rural `` white trash '' . The novel is cited as a factor in the success of the civil rights movement in the 1960s , however , in that it `` arrived at the right moment to help the South and the nation grapple with the racial tensions ( of ) the accelerating civil rights movement '' . Its publication is so closely associated with the Civil Rights Movement that many studies of the book and biographies of Harper Lee include descriptions of important moments in the movement , despite the fact that she had no direct involvement in any of them . Civil Rights leader Andrew Young comments that part of the book 's effectiveness is that it `` inspires hope in the midst of chaos and confusion '' and by using racial epithets portrays the reality of the times in which it was set . Young views the novel as `` an act of humanity '' in showing the possibility of people rising above their prejudices . Alabama author Mark Childress compares it to the impact of Uncle Tom 's Cabin , a book that is popularly implicated in starting the U.S. Civil War . Childress states the novel `` gives white Southerners a way to understand the racism that they 've been brought up with and to find another way . And most white people in the South were good people . Most white people in the South were not throwing bombs and causing havoc ... I think the book really helped them come to understand what was wrong with the system in the way that any number of treatises could never do , because it was popular art , because it was told from a child 's point of view . '' Diane McWhorter , Pulitzer Prize - winning historian of the Birmingham civil rights campaign , asserts that To Kill a Mockingbird condemns racism instead of racists , and states that every child in the South has moments of racial cognitive dissonance when they are faced with the harsh reality of inequality . This feeling causes them to question the beliefs with which they have been raised , which for many children is what the novel does . McWhorter writes of Lee , `` for a white person from the South to write a book like this in the late 1950s is really unusual -- by its very existence an act of protest . '' Author James McBride calls Lee brilliant but stops short of calling her brave : `` I think by calling Harper Lee brave you kind of absolve yourself of your own racism ... She certainly set the standards in terms of how these issues need to be discussed , but in many ways I feel ... the moral bar 's been lowered . And that 's really distressing . We need a thousand Atticus Finches . '' McBride , however , defends the book 's sentimentality , and the way Lee approaches the story with `` honesty and integrity '' . Honors Harper Lee and President George W. Bush at the November 5 , 2007 , ceremony awarding Lee the Presidential Medal of Freedom for To Kill a Mockingbird During the years immediately following the novel 's publication , Harper Lee enjoyed the attention its popularity garnered her , granting interviews , visiting schools , and attending events honoring the book . In 1961 , when To Kill a Mockingbird was in its 41st week on the bestseller list , it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize , stunning Lee . It also won the Brotherhood Award of the National Conference of Christians and Jews in the same year , and the Paperback of the Year award from Bestsellers magazine in 1962 . Starting in 1964 , Lee began to turn down interviews , complaining that the questions were monotonous , and grew concerned that attention she received bordered on the kind of publicity celebrities sought . Since then , she declined talking with reporters about the book . She also steadfastly refused to provide an introduction , writing in 1995 : `` Introductions inhibit pleasure , they kill the joy of anticipation , they frustrate curiosity . The only good thing about Introductions is that in some cases they delay the dose to come . Mockingbird still says what it has to say ; it has managed to survive the years without preamble . '' In 2001 , Lee was inducted into the Alabama Academy of Honor . In the same year , Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley initiated a reading program throughout the city 's libraries , and chose his favorite book , To Kill a Mockingbird , as the first title of the One City , One Book program . Lee declared that `` there is no greater honor the novel could receive '' . By 2004 , the novel had been chosen by 25 communities for variations of the citywide reading program , more than any other novel . David Kipen of the National Endowment of the Arts , who supervised The Big Read , states `` people just seem to connect with it . It dredges up things in their own lives , their interactions across racial lines , legal encounters , and childhood . It 's just this skeleton key to so many different parts of people 's lives , and they cherish it . '' In 2006 , Lee was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Notre Dame . During the ceremony , the students and audience gave Lee a standing ovation , and the entire graduating class held up copies of To Kill a Mockingbird to honor her . Lee was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom on November 5 , 2007 by President George W. Bush . In his remarks , Bush stated , `` One reason To Kill a Mockingbird succeeded is the wise and kind heart of the author , which comes through on every page ... To Kill a Mockingbird has influenced the character of our country for the better . It 's been a gift to the entire world . As a model of good writing and humane sensibility , this book will be read and studied forever . '' Adaptations 1962 film Main article : To Kill a Mockingbird ( film ) The book was made into the well - received 1962 film with the same title , starring Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch . The film 's producer , Alan J. Pakula , remembered Universal Pictures executives questioning him about a potential script : `` They said , ' What story do you plan to tell for the film ? ' I said , ' Have you read the book ? ' They said , ' Yes . ' I said , ' That 's the story . ' '' The movie was a hit at the box office , quickly grossing more than $20 million from a $2 - million budget . It won three Oscars : Best Actor for Gregory Peck , Best Art Direction - Set Decoration , Black - and - White , and Best Writing , Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium for Horton Foote . It was nominated for five more Oscars including Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Mary Badham , the actress who played Scout . Film producer Alan J. Pakula with Lee ; Lee spent three weeks watching the filming , then `` took off when she realized everything would be fine without her '' . Harper Lee was pleased with the movie , saying : `` In that film the man and the part met ... I 've had many , many offers to turn it into musicals , into TV or stage plays , but I 've always refused . That film was a work of art . '' Peck met Lee 's father , the model for Atticus , before the filming. Lee 's father died before the film 's release , and Lee was so impressed with Peck 's performance that she gave him her father 's pocketwatch , which he had with him the evening he was awarded the Oscar for Best Actor . Years later , he was reluctant to tell Lee that the watch was stolen out of his luggage in London Heathrow Airport . When Peck eventually did tell Lee , he said she responded , `` ' Well , it 's only a watch . ' Harper -- she feels deeply , but she 's not a sentimental person about things . '' Lee and Peck shared a friendship long after the movie was made . Peck 's grandson was named `` Harper '' in her honor . In May 2005 , Lee made an uncharacteristic appearance at the Los Angeles Public Library at the request of Peck 's widow Veronique , who said of Lee : `` She 's like a national treasure . She 's someone who has made a difference ... with this book . The book is still as strong as it ever was , and so is the film . All the kids in the United States read this book and see the film in the seventh and eighth grades and write papers and essays . My husband used to get thousands and thousands of letters from teachers who would send them to him . '' Play The book has also been adapted as a play by Christopher Sergel . It debuted in 1990 in Monroeville , a town that labels itself `` The Literary Capital of Alabama '' . The play runs every May on the county courthouse grounds and townspeople make up the cast . White male audience members are chosen at the intermission to make up the jury . During the courtroom scene the production moves into the Monroe County Courthouse and the audience is racially segregated . Author Albert Murray said of the relationship of the town to the novel ( and the annual performance ) : `` It becomes part of the town ritual , like the religious underpinning of Mardi Gras . With the whole town crowded around the actual courthouse , it 's part of a central , civic education -- what Monroeville aspires to be . '' Sergel 's play toured in the UK starting at West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds in 2006 , and again in 2011 starting at the York Theatre Royal , both productions featuring Duncan Preston as Atticus Finch . The play also opened the 2013 season at Regent 's Park Open Air Theatre in London where it played to full houses and starred Robert Sean Leonard as Atticus Finch , his first London appearance in 22 years . The production returned to the venue to close the 2014 season , prior to a UK tour . According to a National Geographic article , the novel is so revered in Monroeville that people quote lines from it like Scripture ; yet Harper Lee herself refused to attend any performances , because `` she abhors anything that trades on the book 's fame '' . To underscore this sentiment , Lee demanded that a book of recipes named Calpurnia 's Cookbook not be published and sold out of the Monroe County Heritage Museum . David Lister in The Independent states that Lee 's refusal to speak to reporters made them desire to interview her all the more , and her silence `` makes Bob Dylan look like a media tart '' . Despite her discouragement , a rising number of tourists made Monroeville their destination , hoping to see Lee 's inspiration for the book , or Lee herself . Local residents call them `` Mockingbird groupies '' , and although Lee was not reclusive , she refused publicity and interviews with an emphatic `` Hell , no ! '' Go set a Watchman Main article : Go Set a Watchman An earlier draft of To Kill a Mockingbird , titled Go Set a Watchman , was controversially released on July 14 , 2015 . This draft , which was completed in 1957 , is set 20 years after the time period depicted in To Kill a Mockingbird but is not a continuation of the narrative . This earlier version of the story follows an adult Scout Finch who travels from New York City to visit her father , Atticus Finch , in Maycomb , Alabama , where she is confronted by the intolerance in her community . The Watchman manuscript was believed to have been lost until Lee 's lawyer Tonja Carter discovered it , but this claim has been widely disputed . Watchman contains early versions of many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird . According to Lee 's agent Andrew Nurnberg , Mockingbird was originally intended to be the first book of a trilogy : `` They discussed publishing Mockingbird first , Watchman last , and a shorter connecting novel between the two . '' This assertion has been discredited , however , by rare - books expert James S. Jaffe , who reviewed the pages at the request of Lee 's attorney and found them to be only another draft of To Kill a Mockingbird . Nurnberg 's statement was also contrary to Jonathan Mahler 's description of how Watchman was seen as just the first draft of Mockingbird . Instances where many passages overlap between the two books , in some case word for word , also refutes this assertion .

"To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960. It was immediately successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, and has become a classic of modern American literature. The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's observations of her family, her neighbors and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936, when she was 10 years old. The story is told by the six-year-old Jean Louise Finch."

9022065787767544957 | The Winds of Winter | The Winds of Winter - wikipedia The Winds of Winter Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the novel . For the episode of the television series , see The Winds of Winter ( Game of Thrones ) . The Winds of Winter Author George R.R. Martin Country United States Language English Series A Song of Ice and Fire Genre Fantasy Publisher Bantam Spectra / US Voyager Books / UK Preceded by A Dance with Dragons Followed by A Dream of Spring The Winds of Winter is the planned sixth novel in the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin . Martin believes the last two volumes of the series will be big books of 1,500 + manuscript pages each . They will take readers farther north than any of the previous books , and the Others will appear in The Winds of Winter . Martin has refrained from making hard estimates for The Winds of Winter 's final release date . In 2014 , estimates based on extrapolation of Martin 's writing pace predicted the release date sometime between 2015 and 2018 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Viewpoint characters 3 Background and publication 3.1 Chapters 3.2 Publication date 4 References 5 External links Plot ( edit ) The Winds of Winter will take readers farther north than any of the previous books , and the Others will appear in the book . The previous installment , A Dance with Dragons , covered less story than Martin intended , excluding at least one planned large battle sequence and leaving several character threads ending in cliffhangers . Martin intends to resolve these storylines `` very early '' in The Winds of Winter , saying `` I 'm going to open with the two big battles that I was building up to , the battle in the ice and the battle at Meereen -- the battle of Slaver 's Bay . And then take it from there . '' A Victarion Greyjoy chapter will begin five minutes after the end of A Dance with Dragons , taking place on the eve of the Iron Islanders ' arrival in Slaver 's Bay . Arianne Martell sample chapters that Martin released on his website showed her heading for Griffin 's Roost to see the young man who is calling himself Aegon . Viewpoint characters ( edit ) George R.R. Martin has confirmed that the following characters have point - of - view chapters in The Winds of Winter : Sansa Stark : One chapter was removed from A Dance with Dragons in June 2010 , and one sample chapter titled Alayne appeared on Martin 's website in April 2015 . Arya Stark : One chapter was removed from A Dance with Dragons in June 2010 , and one sample chapter titled Mercy appeared on Martin 's website in March 2014 . Arianne Martell : Two chapters were removed from A Dance with Dragons in June 2010 . One sample chapter appeared on Martin 's website in January 2013 , and was read at Harbour Front Literaturfestival in June 2015 . Martin read from both chapters at MystiCon in February 2016 . In May 2016 , Martin replaced the sample Sansa Stark chapter titled Alayne on his website from 2015 with the first Arianne Martell chapter he has read from at MystiCon . Aeron Greyjoy : One chapter was removed from A Dance with Dragons in July 2010 . A chapter titled The Forsaken was read in May 2016 at Balticon . It was written in , or before , 2011 but there was no confirmation that this was the chapter removed from A Dance with Dragons . Theon Greyjoy : One sample chapter appeared on Martin 's website in December 2011 . It also appears as a teaser chapter at the end of the UK paperback edition of A Dance with Dragons ( part two ) . Victarion Greyjoy : Portions of one chapter were first read at TIFF Bell Lightbox in March 2012 . Tyrion Lannister : One chapter was read at Eastercon in April 2012 , and another one at Worldcon in August 2013 , the second of which was later published in the official iOS app on March 20 , 2014 . Barristan Selmy : One chapter was released as a teaser at the end of the 2013 U.S. paperback edition of A Dance with Dragons . In 2013 Martin read from 2 chapters at Boskone . George R.R. Martin confirmed that there are no new viewpoint characters intended for The Winds of Winter . Martin confirmed that Areo Hotah and Melisandre will return as viewpoints but did not state which novel their chapters will appear in , and that Bran Stark will appear in the novel , but did not elaborate if as a viewpoint . In addition , he teased at the 2014 San Diego Comic - Con that Jeyne Westerling , Robb Stark 's widow , will appear in the prologue chapter , but did not reveal who will be the POV character . Background and publication ( edit ) Chapters ( edit ) The Winds of Winter was originally intended , in the very early stages of the series , to be the final installment of A Song of Ice and Fire ( then conceived as a trilogy ) . Following his expansion of the series , Martin eventually concluded it would be succeeded by one final novel , A Dream of Spring . By June 2010 , Martin had finished four chapters for The Winds of Winter from the viewpoints of Sansa Stark , Arya Stark , and Arianne Martell . In July 2010 , he added an Aeron Greyjoy chapter that had been moved from A Dance with Dragons to The Winds of Winter , accumulating around 100 completed manuscript pages . Following the publication of A Dance with Dragons in the summer of 2011 , Martin announced his return to writing the series in January 2012 , having spent the intervening time on his U.S. and overseas book publicity tours and attending various conventions . He continued to work , with his two co-authors Elio Garcia and Linda Antonsson , on the planned illustrated series companion guide The World of Ice & Fire concordance and Westeros history , which at one time he wanted to have completed by the end of 2011 . He also worked on a Westeros story , the fourth Tales of Dunk and Egg novella , that will eventually find anthology publication elsewhere . A year after that eventual publication , the story and the three previously published Dunk and Egg tales will be collected and published in the U.S. by Bantam Spectra as a stand - alone fix - up novel . In December 2011 , Martin posted a Theon Greyjoy viewpoint chapter from The Winds of Winter ; he also announced that another sample chapter would be included at the end of the North American paperback version of A Dance with Dragons , which was originally expected to be released in summer 2012 , but was released on October 29 , 2013 . ( International paperback editions of A Dance with Dragons published a year earlier did not include a new , as yet unpublished sample chapter . ) In the first quarter of 2012 , Martin read new chapters of other characters at public events , including the chapters of Victarion Greyjoy and Tyrion Lannister . Martin continued work editing anthologies and completing a large , highly detailed series atlas The Lands of Ice and Fire , which was published in October 2012 . Martin published another sample chapter from Arianne Martell 's POV on his website in January 2013 . On March 27 , ten days before the Game of Thrones season four premiere , Martin posted a chapter on his website , titled Mercy . Martin said the new chapter is actually an old one , though never published nor publicly read . In April 2015 , Martin posted a Sansa Stark viewpoint chapter from The Winds of Winter titled Alayne . In May 2016 , Martin replaced this chapter with an Arianne Martell chapter he had read from at Mysticon , and an Aeron Greyjoy chapter that was removed from A Dance with Dragons was read at Balticon . As of June 2016 , a total of 11 chapters from The Winds of Winter have been either read publicly or published as a sample chapter . The point of view characters with released material are Victarion , Aeron , Tyrion , Barristan , Arianne , Theon , Mercy ( Arya ) , and Alayne ( Sansa ) . Several websites , including Goodreads , have dedicated entire discussion panels to any material that has been released from The Winds of Winter , including plot twists , theories , and speculations . At Guadalajara International Book Fair 2016 , George R.R. Martin gave some clues about the dark nature of The Winds of Winter : ... `` I 've been telling you for 20 years that winter was coming . Winter is the time when things die , and cold and ice and darkness fill the world , so this is not going to be the happy feel - good that people may be hoping for . Some of the characters ( are ) in very dark places ... Things get worse before they get better , so things are getting worse for a lot of people . '' Publication date ( edit ) Martin believes the last two volumes of the series will be massive works of 1,500 + manuscript pages each . He does not intend to separate characters by geography again , as he was forced to do because of the unpublishable length of A Feast for Crows ' original manuscript . But , as Martin stated in a 2011 interview , `` Three years from now when I 'm sitting on 1,800 pages of manuscript with no end in sight , who the hell knows '' . In April 2011 , shortly before the publication of A Dance with Dragons which took him six years to write , Martin hoped that `` the last two books will go a little quicker than this one has '' and estimated that it would take `` three years to finish the next one at a good pace '' . By October 2012 , 400 pages of the sixth novel had been written , although Martin considered only the first 200 as `` really finished '' , the rest still needing revisions . In April 2013 , Martin estimated that he had a quarter of the book . In the past , Martin has angered some of his fan base for repeatedly estimating his publication dates too optimistically ; therefore , he has refrained from making hard estimates for The Winds of Winter 's final release date . Ultimately the book `` will be done when it 's done '' . In 2012 , Martin had acknowledged his concerns about the final novel , A Dream of Spring , not being completed by the time Game of Thrones catches up in its story line to the novels . In January 2014 , Martin 's UK publisher , Jane Johnson , declared on Twitter that the book would `` certainly '' not be published before 2015 . In September 2014 Johnson stated that the book was `` not a 2015 release '' , a statement she repeated in January 2015 . In April 2015 , Martin commented on his blog that The Winds of Winter will not be eligible for the 2016 Hugo Award which is awarded for science fiction or fantasy works of the previous year but he also said he would like to have it published before the sixth season of the HBO series Game of Thrones ( which would cover material from the book ) aired in 2016 . In Autumn 2015 , statements made by the Spanish editor and the Polish translator of the novel indicated that it was expected to be published in 2016 . In early January 2016 , Martin confirmed on his Live Journal that he had not met an end - of - year deadline that he had established with his publisher for release of the book before the sixth season of the HBO show . He added that there was `` a lot still left to write '' and that completion of the book was `` months away still ... if the writing goes well '' . Martin also revealed there had been a previous deadline of October 2015 that he had considered achievable in May 2015 , and that in September 2015 he had still considered the end - of - year deadline achievable . He further confirmed that some of the plot of the book might be revealed in the upcoming season of Game of Thrones but one of the showrunners , David Benioff , claimed that while certain key elements would be the same , the show would diverge from the book in many respects . In February 2016 , Martin stated that he had dropped all his editing projects except for Wild Cards , and that he would not be writing any teleplays , screenplays , short stories , introductions or forewords before delivering The Winds of Winter . In September 2014 , Walt Hickey of FiveThirtyEight and Christopher Ingraham of the Washington Post estimated the release date sometime between 2015 and 2018 , based on extrapolation of Martin 's writing pace . In 2017 , Goodreads advertised its expected publication in 2020 . On January 10 , 2017 , Martin announced on his blog in a response to a comment that he believed that The Winds of Winter will be released `` this year '' , referring to 2017 . However , he also noted that he had believed the same thing would occur the previous year . He confirmed on his blog that he was still working on The Winds of Winter as of July 22 , 2017 , being `` still months away '' from finishing the book . He also indicated that it may not be published until 2018 or later . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` George R.R. Martin Webchat Transcript '' . empireonline.com. April 2012 .

It was created on December 23 , 1913 , with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act , after a series of financial panics ( particularly the panic of 1907 ) led to the desire for central control of the monetary system in order to alleviate financial crises . Over the years , events such as the Great Depression in the 1930s and the Great Recession during the 2000s have led to the expansion of the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Reserve System . The U.S. Congress established three key objectives for monetary policy in the Federal Reserve Act : maximizing employment , stabilizing prices , and moderating long - term interest rates . The first two objectives are sometimes referred to as the Federal Reserve 's dual mandate . Its duties have expanded over the years , and currently also include supervising and regulating banks , maintaining the stability of the financial system , and providing financial services to depository institutions , the U.S. government , and foreign official institutions . The Fed conducts research into the economy and provides numerous publications , such as the Beige Book and the FRED database . The Federal Reserve System is composed of several layers . It is governed by the presidentially appointed Board of Governors or Federal Reserve Board ( FRB ) . Twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks , located in cities throughout the nation , regulate and oversee privately owned commercial banks . Nationally chartered commercial banks are required to hold stock in , and can elect some of the board members of , the Federal Reserve Bank of their region . The Federal Open Market Committee ( FOMC ) sets monetary policy . It consists of all seven members of the Board of Governors and the twelve regional Federal Reserve Bank presidents , though only five bank presidents vote at a time ( the president of the New York Fed and four others who rotate through one - year voting terms ) . There are also various advisory councils . Thus , the Federal Reserve System has both public and private components . It has a structure unique among central banks , and is also unusual in that the United States Department of the Treasury , an entity outside of the central bank , prints the currency used . The federal government sets the salaries of the board 's seven governors . The federal government receives all the system 's annual profits , after a statutory dividend of 6 % on member banks ' capital investment is paid , and an account surplus is maintained . In 2015 , the Federal Reserve earned net income of $100.2 billion and transferred $97.7 billion to the U.S. Treasury . Although an instrument of the US Government , the Federal Reserve System considers itself `` an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government , it does not receive funding appropriated by the Congress , and the terms of the members of the Board of Governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms .

Other purposes are stated in the Federal Reserve Act , such as `` to furnish an elastic currency , to afford means of rediscounting commercial paper , to establish a more effective supervision of banking in the United States , and for other purposes '' . Before the founding of the Federal Reserve System , the United States underwent several financial crises . A particularly severe crisis in 1907 led Congress to enact the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 . Today the Federal Reserve System has responsibilities in addition to ensuring the stability of the financial system . Current functions of the Federal Reserve System include : To address the problem of banking panics To serve as the central bank for the United States To strike a balance between private interests of banks and the centralized responsibility of government To supervise and regulate banking institutions To protect the credit rights of consumers To manage the nation 's money supply through monetary policy to achieve the sometimes - conflicting goals of maximum employment stable prices , including prevention of either inflation or deflation moderate long - term interest rates To maintain the stability of the financial system and contain systemic risk in financial markets To provide financial services to depository institutions , the U.S. government , and foreign official institutions , including playing a major role in operating the nation 's payments system To facilitate the exchange of payments among regions To respond to local liquidity needs To strengthen U.S. standing in the world economy Addressing the problem of Bank panics ( edit ) Further information : Bank run and Fractional - reserve banking Banking institutions in the United States are required to hold reserves -- amounts of currency and deposits in other banks -- equal to only a fraction of the amount of the bank 's deposit liabilities owed to customers . This practice is called fractional - reserve banking . As a result , banks usually invest the majority of the funds received from depositors . On rare occasions , too many of the bank 's customers will withdraw their savings and the bank will need help from another institution to continue operating ; this is called a bank run . Bank runs can lead to a multitude of social and economic problems . The Federal Reserve System was designed as an attempt to prevent or minimize the occurrence of bank runs , and possibly act as a lender of last resort when a bank run does occur . Many economists , following Milton Friedman , believe that the Federal Reserve inappropriately refused to lend money to small banks during the bank runs of 1929 . Check clearing System ( edit ) Because some banks refused to clear checks from certain other banks during times of economic uncertainty , a check - clearing system was created in the Federal Reserve System . It is briefly described in The Federal Reserve System -- Purposes and Functions as follows : By creating the Federal Reserve System , Congress intended to eliminate the severe financial crises that had periodically swept the nation , especially the sort of financial panic that occurred in 1907 . During that episode , payments were disrupted throughout the country because many banks and clearinghouses refused to clear checks drawn on certain other banks , a practice that contributed to the failure of otherwise solvent banks . To address these problems , Congress gave the Federal Reserve System the authority to establish a nationwide check - clearing system . The System , then , was to provide not only an elastic currency -- that is , a currency that would expand or shrink in amount as economic conditions warranted -- but also an efficient and equitable check - collection system . Lender of last resort ( edit ) In the United States , the Federal Reserve serves as the lender of last resort to those institutions that can not obtain credit elsewhere and the collapse of which would have serious implications for the economy . It took over this role from the private sector `` clearing houses '' which operated during the Free Banking Era ; whether public or private , the availability of liquidity was intended to prevent bank runs . Fluctuations ( edit ) Through its discount window and credit operations , Reserve Banks provide liquidity to banks to meet short - term needs stemming from seasonal fluctuations in deposits or unexpected withdrawals . Longer term liquidity may also be provided in exceptional circumstances . The rate the Fed charges banks for these loans is called the discount rate ( officially the primary credit rate ) . By making these loans , the Fed serves as a buffer against unexpected day - to - day fluctuations in reserve demand and supply . This contributes to the effective functioning of the banking system , alleviates pressure in the reserves market and reduces the extent of unexpected movements in the interest rates . For example , on September 16 , 2008 , the Federal Reserve Board authorized an $85 billion loan to stave off the bankruptcy of international insurance giant American International Group ( AIG ) . Central Bank ( edit ) Further information : Central bank Obverse of a Federal Reserve $1 note issued in 2009 In its role as the central bank of the United States , the Fed serves as a banker 's bank and as the government 's bank . As the banker 's bank , it helps to assure the safety and efficiency of the payments system . As the government 's bank or fiscal agent , the Fed processes a variety of financial transactions involving trillions of dollars . Just as an individual might keep an account at a bank , the U.S. Treasury keeps a checking account with the Federal Reserve , through which incoming federal tax deposits and outgoing government payments are handled . As part of this service relationship , the Fed sells and redeems U.S. government securities such as savings bonds and Treasury bills , notes and bonds . It also issues the nation 's coin and paper currency . The U.S. Treasury , through its Bureau of the Mint and Bureau of Engraving and Printing , actually produces the nation 's cash supply and , in effect , sells the paper currency to the Federal Reserve Banks at manufacturing cost , and the coins at face value . The Federal Reserve Banks then distribute it to other financial institutions in various ways . During the Fiscal Year 2013 , the Bureau of Engraving and Printing delivered 6.6 billion notes at an average cost of 5.0 cents per note . Federal funds ( edit ) Main article : Federal funds Federal funds are the reserve balances ( also called Federal Reserve Deposits ) that private banks keep at their local Federal Reserve Bank . These balances are the namesake reserves of the Federal Reserve System . The purpose of keeping funds at a Federal Reserve Bank is to have a mechanism for private banks to lend funds to one another . This market for funds plays an important role in the Federal Reserve System as it is what inspired the name of the system and it is what is used as the basis for monetary policy . Monetary policy is put into effect partly by influencing how much interest the private banks charge each other for the lending of these funds . Federal reserve accounts contain federal reserve credit , which can be converted into federal reserve notes . Private banks maintain their bank reserves in federal reserve accounts . Bank regulation ( edit ) The Federal Reserve regulates private banks . The system was designed out of a compromise between the competing philosophies of privatization and government regulation . In 2006 Donald L. Kohn , vice chairman of the Board of Governors , summarized the history of this compromise : Agrarian and progressive interests , led by William Jennings Bryan , favored a central bank under public , rather than banker , control . But the vast majority of the nation 's bankers , concerned about government intervention in the banking business , opposed a central bank structure directed by political appointees . The legislation that Congress ultimately adopted in 1913 reflected a hard - fought battle to balance these two competing views and created the hybrid public - private , centralized - decentralized structure that we have today . The balance between private interests and government can also be seen in the structure of the system . Private banks elect members of the board of directors at their regional Federal Reserve Bank while the members of the Board of Governors are selected by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate . Government regulation and supervision ( edit ) Ben Bernanke ( lower - right ) , Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors , at a House Financial Services Committee hearing on February 10 , 2009 . Members of the Board frequently testify before congressional committees such as this one . The Senate equivalent of the House Financial Services Committee is the Senate Committee on Banking , Housing , and Urban Affairs . The Federal Banking Agency Audit Act , enacted in 1978 as Public Law 95 - 320 and 31 U.S.C. section 714 establish that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve banks may be audited by the Government Accountability Office ( GAO ) . The GAO has authority to audit check - processing , currency storage and shipments , and some regulatory and bank examination functions , however , there are restrictions to what the GAO may audit . Under the Federal Banking Agency Audit Act , 31 U.S.C. section 714 ( b ) , audits of the Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve banks do not include ( 1 ) transactions for or with a foreign central bank or government or non-private international financing organization ; ( 2 ) deliberations , decisions , or actions on monetary policy matters ; ( 3 ) transactions made under the direction of the Federal Open Market Committee ; or ( 4 ) a part of a discussion or communication among or between members of the Board of Governors and officers and employees of the Federal Reserve System related to items ( 1 ) , ( 2 ) , or ( 3 ) . See Federal Reserve System Audits : Restrictions on GAO 's Access ( GAO / T - GGD - 94 - 44 ) , statement of Charles A. Bowsher . The Board of Governors in the Federal Reserve System has a number of supervisory and regulatory responsibilities in the U.S. banking system , but not complete responsibility . A general description of the types of regulation and supervision involved in the U.S. banking system is given by the Federal Reserve : The Board also plays a major role in the supervision and regulation of the U.S. banking system . It has supervisory responsibilities for state - chartered banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System , bank holding companies ( companies that control banks ) , the foreign activities of member banks , the U.S. activities of foreign banks , and Edge Act and `` agreement corporations '' ( limited - purpose institutions that engage in a foreign banking business ) . The Board and , under delegated authority , the Federal Reserve Banks , supervise approximately 900 state member banks and 5,000 bank holding companies . Other federal agencies also serve as the primary federal supervisors of commercial banks ; the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency supervises national banks , and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation supervises state banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System . Some regulations issued by the Board apply to the entire banking industry , whereas others apply only to member banks , that is , state banks that have chosen to join the Federal Reserve System and national banks , which by law must be members of the System . The Board also issues regulations to carry out major federal laws governing consumer credit protection , such as the Truth in Lending , Equal Credit Opportunity , and Home Mortgage Disclosure Acts . Many of these consumer protection regulations apply to various lenders outside the banking industry as well as to banks . Members of the Board of Governors are in continual contact with other policy makers in government . They frequently testify before congressional committees on the economy , monetary policy , banking supervision and regulation , consumer credit protection , financial markets , and other matters . The Board has regular contact with members of the President 's Council of Economic Advisers and other key economic officials . The Chair also meets from time to time with the President of the United States and has regular meetings with the Secretary of the Treasury . The Chair has formal responsibilities in the international arena as well . Regulatory and oversight responsibilities ( edit ) The board of directors of each Federal Reserve Bank District also has regulatory and supervisory responsibilities . If the board of directors of a district bank has judged that a member bank is performing or behaving poorly , it will report this to the Board of Governors . This policy is described in United States Code : Each Federal reserve bank shall keep itself informed of the general character and amount of the loans and investments of its member banks with a view to ascertaining whether undue use is being made of bank credit for the speculative carrying of or trading in securities , real estate , or commodities , or for any other purpose inconsistent with the maintenance of sound credit conditions ; and , in determining whether to grant or refuse advances , rediscounts , or other credit accommodations , the Federal reserve bank shall give consideration to such information . The chairman of the Federal reserve bank shall report to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System any such undue use of bank credit by any member bank , together with his recommendation . Whenever , in the judgment of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System , any member bank is making such undue use of bank credit , the Board may , in its discretion , after reasonable notice and an opportunity for a hearing , suspend such bank from the use of the credit facilities of the Federal Reserve System and may terminate such suspension or may renew it from time to time . National payments System ( edit ) The Federal Reserve plays an important role in the U.S. payments system . The twelve Federal Reserve Banks provide banking services to depository institutions and to the federal government . For depository institutions , they maintain accounts and provide various payment services , including collecting checks , electronically transferring funds , and distributing and receiving currency and coin . For the federal government , the Reserve Banks act as fiscal agents , paying Treasury checks ; processing electronic payments ; and issuing , transferring , and redeeming U.S. government securities . In the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 , Congress reaffirmed that the Federal Reserve should promote an efficient nationwide payments system . The act subjects all depository institutions , not just member commercial banks , to reserve requirements and grants them equal access to Reserve Bank payment services . The Federal Reserve plays a role in the nation 's retail and wholesale payments systems by providing financial services to depository institutions . Retail payments are generally for relatively small - dollar amounts and often involve a depository institution 's retail clients -- individuals and smaller businesses . The Reserve Banks ' retail services include distributing currency and coin , collecting checks , and electronically transferring funds through the automated clearinghouse system . By contrast , wholesale payments are generally for large - dollar amounts and often involve a depository institution 's large corporate customers or counterparties , including other financial institutions . The Reserve Banks ' wholesale services include electronically transferring funds through the Fedwire Funds Service and transferring securities issued by the U.S. government , its agencies , and certain other entities through the Fedwire Securities Service . Structure ( edit ) Main article : Structure of the Federal Reserve System Organization of the Federal Reserve System The Federal Reserve System has a `` unique structure that is both public and private '' and is described as `` independent within the government '' rather than `` independent of government '' . The System does not require public funding , and derives its authority and purpose from the Federal Reserve Act , which was passed by Congress in 1913 and is subject to Congressional modification or repeal . The four main components of the Federal Reserve System are ( 1 ) the Board of Governors , ( 2 ) the Federal Open Market Committee , ( 3 ) the twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks , and ( 4 ) the member banks throughout the country .

Williams Board of Governors ( edit ) Main article : Federal Reserve Board of Governors The seven - member Board of Governors is a federal agency . It is charged with the overseeing of the 12 District Reserve Banks and setting national monetary policy . It also supervises and regulates the U.S. banking system in general . Governors are appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate for staggered 14 - year terms . One term begins every two years , on February 1 of even - numbered years , and members serving a full term can not be renominated for a second term . `` ( U ) pon the expiration of their terms of office , members of the Board shall continue to serve until their successors are appointed and have qualified . '' The law provides for the removal of a member of the board by the President `` for cause '' . The board is required to make an annual report of operations to the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives . The Chair and Vice Chair of the Board of Governors are appointed by the President from among the sitting Governors . They both serve a four - year term and they can be renominated as many times as the President chooses , until their terms on the Board of Governors expire . According to US Code 12 - 241 the Chair and Vice Chair may be chosen either from among the sitting Governors or outsiders , the law does not specify a preferred choice . List of members of the Board of Governors ( edit ) Board of Governors in 2018 . As of 2018 four of the seven seats are vacant The current members of the Board of Governors are as follows : Photo Governor Political Party Entered office Term expires Jerome Powell ( Chairman ) Republican February 5 , 2018 ( as Chairman ) May 25 , 2012 ( as Governor ) June 16 , 2014 ( new term ) February 5 , 2022 ( as Chairman ) January 31 , 2028 ( as Governor ) Vacant ( Vice Chairman ) N / A ( as Vice Chairman ) January 31 , 2022 ( as Governor ) Randal Quarles ( Vice Chairman for Supervision ) Republican October 13 , 2017 ( as Vice Chairman for Supervision ) October 13 , 2017 October 13 , 2021 ( as Vice Chairman for Supervision ) January 31 , 2032 ( as Governor ) Lael Brainard Democratic June 16 , 2014 January 31 , 2026 Vacant January 31 , 2020 Vacant January 31 , 2024 Vacant January 31 , 2030 Indicates the date of term expiration for the individual nominated to this vacant position . Nominations , confirmations and resignations ( edit ) In late December 2011 , President Barack Obama nominated Jeremy C. Stein , a Harvard University finance professor and a Democrat , and Jerome Powell , formerly of Dillon Read , Bankers Trust and The Carlyle Group and a Republican . Both candidates also have Treasury Department experience in the Obama and George H.W. Bush administrations respectively . `` Obama administration officials ( had ) regrouped to identify Fed candidates after Peter Diamond , a Nobel Prize - winning economist , withdrew his nomination to the board in June ( 2011 ) in the face of Republican opposition . Richard Clarida , a potential nominee who was a Treasury official under George W. Bush , pulled out of consideration in August ( 2011 ) '' , one account of the December nominations noted . The two other Obama nominees in 2011 , Yellen and Raskin , were confirmed in September . One of the vacancies was created in 2011 with the resignation of Kevin Warsh , who took office in 2006 to fill the unexpired term ending January 31 , 2018 , and resigned his position effective March 31 , 2011 . In March 2012 , U.S. Senator David Vitter ( R , LA ) said he would oppose Obama 's Stein and Powell nominations , dampening near - term hopes for approval . However Senate leaders reached a deal , paving the way for affirmative votes on the two nominees in May 2012 and bringing the board to full strength for the first time since 2006 with Duke 's service after term end . Later , on January 6 , 2014 , the United States Senate confirmed Yellen 's nomination to be Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors ; she is slated to be the first woman to hold the position and will become Chair on February 1 , 2014 . Subsequently , President Obama nominated Stanley Fischer to replace Yellen as the Vice Chair . In April 2014 , Stein announced he was leaving to return to Harvard May 28 with four years remaining on his term . At the time of the announcement , the FOMC `` already is down three members as it awaits the Senate confirmation of ... Fischer and Lael Brainard , and as ( President ) Obama has yet to name a replacement for ... Duke ... Powell is still serving as he awaits his confirmation for a second term . '' Allan R. Landon , former president and CEO of the Bank of Hawaii , was nominated in early 2015 by President Obama to the board . In July 2015 , President Obama nominated University of Michigan economist Kathryn M. Dominguez to fill the second vacancy on the board . The Senate had not yet acted on Landon 's confirmation by the time of the second nomination . Daniel Tarullo submitted his resignation from the board on February 10 , 2017 , effective on or around April 5 , 2017 . Federal open market Committee ( edit ) Main article : Federal Open Market Committee The Federal Open Market Committee ( FOMC ) consists of 12 members , seven from the Board of Governors and 5 of the regional Federal Reserve Bank presidents . The FOMC oversees and sets policy on open market operations , the principal tool of national monetary policy . These operations affect the amount of Federal Reserve balances available to depository institutions , thereby influencing overall monetary and credit conditions . The FOMC also directs operations undertaken by the Federal Reserve in foreign exchange markets . The FOMC must reach consensus on all decisions . The president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is a permanent member of the FOMC ; the presidents of the other banks rotate membership at two - and three - year intervals . All Regional Reserve Bank presidents contribute to the committee 's assessment of the economy and of policy options , but only the five presidents who are then members of the FOMC vote on policy decisions . The FOMC determines its own internal organization and , by tradition , elects the Chair of the Board of Governors as its chair and the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as its vice chair . Formal meetings typically are held eight times each year in Washington , D.C. Nonvoting Reserve Bank presidents also participate in Committee deliberations and discussion . The FOMC generally meets eight times a year in telephone consultations and other meetings are held when needed . Federal advisory Council ( edit ) Main article : Federal Advisory Council The Federal Advisory Council , composed of twelve representatives of the banking industry , advises the board on all matters within its jurisdiction . Federal Reserve banks ( edit ) Main article : Federal Reserve Bank Map of the twelve Federal Reserve Districts , with the twelve Federal Reserve Banks marked as black squares , and all Branches within each district ( 24 total ) marked as red circles . The Washington DC Headquarters is marked with a star . ( Also , a 25th branch in Buffalo , NY had been closed in 2008 . ) The twelve Reserve Banks buildings in 1936 There are 12 Federal Reserve Banks , each of which is responsible for member banks located in its district . They are located in Boston , New York , Philadelphia , Cleveland , Richmond , Atlanta , Chicago , St. Louis , Minneapolis , Kansas City , Dallas , and San Francisco . The size of each district was set based upon the population distribution of the United States when the Federal Reserve Act was passed . The charter and organization of each Federal Reserve Bank is established by law and can not be altered by the member banks . Member banks , do however , elect six of the nine members of the Federal Reserve Banks ' boards of directors . Each regional Bank has a president , who is the chief executive officer of their Bank . Each regional Reserve Bank 's president is nominated by their Bank 's board of directors , but the nomination is contingent upon approval by the Board of Governors . Presidents serve five - year terms and may be reappointed . Each regional Bank 's board consists of nine members . Members are broken down into three classes : A , B , and C. There are three board members in each class . Class A members are chosen by the regional Bank 's shareholders , and are intended to represent member banks ' interests . Member banks are divided into three categories : large , medium , and small . Each category elects one of the three class A board members . Class B board members are also nominated by the region 's member banks , but class B board members are supposed to represent the interests of the public . Lastly , class C board members are appointed by the Board of Governors , and are also intended to represent the interests of the public . Legal status of regional Federal Reserve banks ( edit ) The Federal Reserve Banks have an intermediate legal status , with some features of private corporations and some features of public federal agencies . The United States has an interest in the Federal Reserve Banks as tax - exempt federally created instrumentalities whose profits belong to the federal government , but this interest is not proprietary . In Lewis v. United States , the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit stated that : `` The Reserve Banks are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the FTCA ( the Federal Tort Claims Act ) , but are independent , privately owned and locally controlled corporations . '' The opinion went on to say , however , that : `` The Reserve Banks have properly been held to be federal instrumentalities for some purposes . '' Another relevant decision is Scott v. Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City , in which the distinction is made between Federal Reserve Banks , which are federally created instrumentalities , and the Board of Governors , which is a federal agency . Regarding the structural relationship between the twelve Federal Reserve banks and the various commercial ( member ) banks , political science professor Michael D. Reagan has written that : ... the `` ownership '' of the Reserve Banks by the commercial banks is symbolic ; they do not exercise the proprietary control associated with the concept of ownership nor share , beyond the statutory dividend , in Reserve Bank `` profits . '' ... Bank ownership and election at the base are therefore devoid of substantive significance , despite the superficial appearance of private bank control that the formal arrangement creates . Plaque marking a bank as a member Member banks ( edit ) A member bank is a private institution and owns stock in its regional Federal Reserve Bank . All nationally chartered banks hold stock in one of the Federal Reserve Banks . State chartered banks may choose to be members ( and hold stock in their regional Federal Reserve bank ) upon meeting certain standards . The amount of stock a member bank must own is equal to 3 % of its combined capital and surplus . However , holding stock in a Federal Reserve bank is not like owning stock in a publicly traded company . These stocks can not be sold or traded , and member banks do not control the Federal Reserve Bank as a result of owning this stock . From the profits of the Regional Bank of which it is a member , a member bank receives a dividend equal to 6 % of its purchased stock . The remainder of the regional Federal Reserve Banks ' profits is given over to the United States Treasury Department . In 2015 , the Federal Reserve Banks made a profit of $100.2 billion and distributed $2.5 billion in dividends to member banks as well as returning $97.7 billion to the U.S. Treasury . About 38 % of U.S. banks are members of their regional Federal Reserve Bank . Accountability ( edit ) The GAO and an outside auditor regularly audit the Board of Governors , the Federal Reserve banks , and individual member banks . Audits do not cover `` most of the Fed 's monetary policy actions or decisions , including discount window lending ( direct loans to financial institutions ) , open - market operations and any other transactions made under the direction of the Federal Open Market Committee '' ... ( nor may the GAO audit ) `` dealings with foreign governments and other central banks . '' As of August 27 , 2012 , the Federal Reserve Board has been publishing unaudited financial reports for the Federal Reserve banks every quarter . This is an expansion of prior financial reporting practices . Greater transparency is offered with more frequent disclosure and more detail . November 7 , 2008 , Bloomberg L.P. News brought a lawsuit against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to force the board to reveal the identities of firms for which it has provided guarantees during the financial crisis of 2007 -- 2008 . Bloomberg , L.P. won at the trial court and the Fed 's appeals were rejected at both the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court . The data was released on March 31 , 2011 . Monetary policy ( edit ) Further information : Monetary policy of the United States The term `` monetary policy '' refers to the actions undertaken by a central bank , such as the Federal Reserve , to influence the availability and cost of money and credit to help promote national economic goals . What happens to money and credit affects interest rates ( the cost of credit ) and the performance of an economy . The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 gave the Federal Reserve authority to set monetary policy in the United States . Interbank lending ( edit ) The Federal Reserve sets monetary policy by influencing the federal funds rate , which is the rate of interbank lending of excess reserves . The rate that banks charge each other for these loans is determined in the interbank market and the Federal Reserve influences this rate through the three `` tools '' of monetary policy described in the Tools section below . The federal funds rate is a short - term interest rate that the FOMC focuses on , which affects the longer - term interest rates throughout the economy . The Federal Reserve summarized its monetary policy in 2005 : The Federal Reserve implements U.S. monetary policy by affecting conditions in the market for balances that depository institutions hold at the Federal Reserve Banks ... By conducting open market operations , imposing reserve requirements , permitting depository institutions to hold contractual clearing balances , and extending credit through its discount window facility , the Federal Reserve exercises considerable control over the demand for and supply of Federal Reserve balances and the federal funds rate . Through its control of the federal funds rate , the Federal Reserve is able to foster financial and monetary conditions consistent with its monetary policy objectives . Effects on the quantity of reserves that banks used to make loans influence the economy . Policy actions that add reserves to the banking system encourage lending at lower interest rates thus stimulating growth in money , credit , and the economy . Policy actions that absorb reserves work in the opposite direction . The Fed 's task is to supply enough reserves to support an adequate amount of money and credit , avoiding the excesses that result in inflation and the shortages that stifle economic growth . Tools ( edit ) There are three main tools of monetary policy that the Federal Reserve uses to influence the amount of reserves in private banks : Tool Description Open market operations Purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities -- the Federal Reserve 's principal tool for implementing monetary policy . The Federal Reserve 's objective for open market operations has varied over the years . During the 1980s , the focus gradually shifted toward attaining a specified level of the federal funds rate ( the rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans of federal funds , which are the reserves held by banks at the Fed ) , a process that was largely complete by the end of the decade . Discount rate The interest rate charged to commercial banks and other depository institutions on loans they receive from their regional Federal Reserve Bank 's lending facility -- the discount window . Reserve requirements The amount of funds that a depository institution must hold in reserve against specified deposit liabilities . Federal funds rate and open market operations ( edit ) Further information : Open market operations , money creation , and federal funds rate The Federal Reserve System implements monetary policy largely by targeting the federal funds rate . This is the interest rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans of federal funds , which are the reserves held by banks at the Fed . This rate is actually determined by the market and is not explicitly mandated by the Fed . The Fed therefore tries to align the effective federal funds rate with the targeted rate by adding or subtracting from the money supply through open market operations . The Federal Reserve System usually adjusts the federal funds rate target by 0.25 % or 0.50 % at a time . Open market operations allow the Federal Reserve to increase or decrease the amount of money in the banking system as necessary to balance the Federal Reserve 's dual mandates . Open market operations are done through the sale and purchase of United States Treasury security , sometimes called `` Treasury bills '' or more informally `` T - bills '' or `` Treasuries '' . The Federal Reserve buys Treasury bills from its primary dealers . The purchase of these securities affects the federal funds rate , because primary dealers have accounts at depository institutions . The Federal Reserve education website describes open market operations as follows : Open market operations involve the buying and selling of U.S. government securities ( federal agency and mortgage - backed ) . The term ' open market ' means that the Fed does n't decide on its own which securities dealers it will do business with on a particular day . Rather , the choice emerges from an ' open market ' in which the various securities dealers that the Fed does business with -- the primary dealers -- compete on the basis of price . Open market operations are flexible and thus , the most frequently used tool of monetary policy . Open market operations are the primary tool used to regulate the supply of bank reserves . This tool consists of Federal Reserve purchases and sales of financial instruments , usually securities issued by the U.S. Treasury , Federal agencies and government - sponsored enterprises . Open market operations are carried out by the Domestic Trading Desk of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York under direction from the FOMC . The transactions are undertaken with primary dealers . The Fed 's goal in trading the securities is to affect the federal funds rate , the rate at which banks borrow reserves from each other . When the Fed wants to increase reserves , it buys securities and pays for them by making a deposit to the account maintained at the Fed by the primary dealer 's bank . When the Fed wants to reduce reserves , it sells securities and collects from those accounts . Most days , the Fed does not want to increase or decrease reserves permanently so it usually engages in transactions reversed within a day or two . That means that a reserve injection today could be withdrawn tomorrow morning , only to be renewed at some level several hours later . These short - term transactions are called repurchase agreements ( repos ) -- the dealer sells the Fed a security and agrees to buy it back at a later date . Repurchase agreements ( edit ) Further information : Repurchase agreement To smooth temporary or cyclical changes in the money supply , the desk engages in repurchase agreements ( repos ) with its primary dealers . Repos are essentially secured , short - term lending by the Fed . On the day of the transaction , the Fed deposits money in a primary dealer 's reserve account , and receives the promised securities as collateral . When the transaction matures , the process unwinds : the Fed returns the collateral and charges the primary dealer 's reserve account for the principal and accrued interest . The term of the repo ( the time between settlement and maturity ) can vary from 1 day ( called an overnight repo ) to 65 days . Discount rate ( edit ) Further information : Discount window The Federal Reserve System also directly sets the `` discount rate '' , which is the interest rate for `` discount window lending '' , overnight loans that member banks borrow directly from the Fed . This rate is generally set at a rate close to 100 basis points above the target federal funds rate . The idea is to encourage banks to seek alternative funding before using the `` discount rate '' option . The equivalent operation by the European Central Bank is referred to as the `` marginal lending facility '' . Both the discount rate and the federal funds rate influence the prime rate , which is usually about 3 percentage points higher than the federal funds rate . Reserve requirements ( edit ) Another instrument of monetary policy adjustment employed by the Federal Reserve System is the fractional reserve requirement , also known as the required reserve ratio . The required reserve ratio sets the balance that the Federal Reserve System requires a depository institution to hold in the Federal Reserve Banks , which depository institutions trade in the federal funds market discussed above . The required reserve ratio is set by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System . The reserve requirements have changed over time and some history of these changes is published by the Federal Reserve . Reserve Requirements in the U.S. Federal Reserve System Liability Type Requirement Percentage of liabilities Effective date Net transaction accounts $0 to $11.5 million 0 December 29 , 2011 More than $11.5 million to $71 million December 29 , 2011 More than $71 million 10 December 29 , 2011 Nonpersonal time deposits 0 December 27 , 1990 Eurocurrency liabilities 0 December 27 , 1990 As a response to the financial crisis of 2008 , the Federal Reserve now makes interest payments on depository institutions ' required and excess reserve balances . The payment of interest on excess reserves gives the central bank greater opportunity to address credit market conditions while maintaining the federal funds rate close to the target rate set by the FOMC . New facilities ( edit ) In order to address problems related to the subprime mortgage crisis and United States housing bubble , several new tools have been created . The first new tool , called the Term Auction Facility , was added on December 12 , 2007 . It was first announced as a temporary tool but there have been suggestions that this new tool may remain in place for a prolonged period of time . Creation of the second new tool , called the Term Securities Lending Facility , was announced on March 11 , 2008 . The main difference between these two facilities is that the Term Auction Facility is used to inject cash into the banking system whereas the Term Securities Lending Facility is used to inject treasury securities into the banking system . Creation of the third tool , called the Primary Dealer Credit Facility ( PDCF ) , was announced on March 16 , 2008 . The PDCF was a fundamental change in Federal Reserve policy because now the Fed is able to lend directly to primary dealers , which was previously against Fed policy . The differences between these three new facilities is described by the Federal Reserve : The Term Auction Facility program offers term funding to depository institutions via a bi-weekly auction , for fixed amounts of credit . The Term Securities Lending Facility will be an auction for a fixed amount of lending of Treasury general collateral in exchange for OMO - eligible and AAA / Aaa rated private - label residential mortgage - backed securities . The Primary Dealer Credit Facility now allows eligible primary dealers to borrow at the existing Discount Rate for up to 120 days . Some measures taken by the Federal Reserve to address this mortgage crisis have not been used since the Great Depression . The Federal Reserve gives a brief summary of these new facilities : As the economy has slowed in the last nine months and credit markets have become unstable , the Federal Reserve has taken a number of steps to help address the situation . These steps have included the use of traditional monetary policy tools at the macroeconomic level as well as measures at the level of specific markets to provide additional liquidity . The Federal Reserve 's response has continued to evolve since pressure on credit markets began to surface last summer , but all these measures derive from the Fed 's traditional open market operations and discount window tools by extending the term of transactions , the type of collateral , or eligible borrowers . A fourth facility , the Term Deposit Facility , was announced December 9 , 2009 , and approved April 30 , 2010 , with an effective date of June 4 , 2010 . The Term Deposit Facility allows Reserve Banks to offer term deposits to institutions that are eligible to receive earnings on their balances at Reserve Banks . Term deposits are intended to facilitate the implementation of monetary policy by providing a tool by which the Federal Reserve can manage the aggregate quantity of reserve balances held by depository institutions . Funds placed in term deposits are removed from the accounts of participating institutions for the life of the term deposit and thus drain reserve balances from the banking system . Term Auction Facility ( edit ) Further information : Term auction facility The Term Auction Facility is a program in which the Federal Reserve auctions term funds to depository institutions . The creation of this facility was announced by the Federal Reserve on December 12 , 2007 , and was done in conjunction with the Bank of Canada , the Bank of England , the European Central Bank , and the Swiss National Bank to address elevated pressures in short - term funding markets . The reason it was created is that banks were not lending funds to one another and banks in need of funds were refusing to go to the discount window . Banks were not lending money to each other because there was a fear that the loans would not be paid back . Banks refused to go to the discount window because it is usually associated with the stigma of bank failure . Under the Term Auction Facility , the identity of the banks in need of funds is protected in order to avoid the stigma of bank failure . Foreign exchange swap lines with the European Central Bank and Swiss National Bank were opened so the banks in Europe could have access to U.S. dollars . Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke briefly described this facility to the U.S. House of Representatives on January 17 , 2008 : the Federal Reserve recently unveiled a term auction facility , or TAF , through which prespecified amounts of discount window credit can be auctioned to eligible borrowers . The goal of the TAF is to reduce the incentive for banks to hoard cash and increase their willingness to provide credit to households and firms ... TAF auctions will continue as long as necessary to address elevated pressures in short - term funding markets , and we will continue to work closely and cooperatively with other central banks to address market strains that could hamper the achievement of our broader economic objectives . It is also described in the Term Auction Facility FAQ The TAF is a credit facility that allows a depository institution to place a bid for an advance from its local Federal Reserve Bank at an interest rate that is determined as the result of an auction . By allowing the Federal Reserve to inject term funds through a broader range of counterparties and against a broader range of collateral than open market operations , this facility could help ensure that liquidity provisions can be disseminated efficiently even when the unsecured interbank markets are under stress . In short , the TAF will auction term funds of approximately one - month maturity . All depository institutions that are judged to be in sound financial condition by their local Reserve Bank and that are eligible to borrow at the discount window are also eligible to participate in TAF auctions . All TAF credit must be fully collateralized . Depositories may pledge the broad range of collateral that is accepted for other Federal Reserve lending programs to secure TAF credit . The same collateral values and margins applicable for other Federal Reserve lending programs will also apply for the TAF . Term securities lending Facility ( edit ) The Term Securities Lending Facility is a 28 - day facility that will offer Treasury general collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York 's primary dealers in exchange for other program - eligible collateral . It is intended to promote liquidity in the financing markets for Treasury and other collateral and thus to foster the functioning of financial markets more generally . Like the Term Auction Facility , the TSLF was done in conjunction with the Bank of Canada , the Bank of England , the European Central Bank , and the Swiss National Bank . The resource allows dealers to switch debt that is less liquid for U.S. government securities that are easily tradable . The currency swap lines with the European Central Bank and Swiss National Bank were increased . Primary dealer credit Facility ( edit ) The Primary Dealer Credit Facility ( PDCF ) is an overnight loan facility that will provide funding to primary dealers in exchange for a specified range of eligible collateral and is intended to foster the functioning of financial markets more generally . This new facility marks a fundamental change in Federal Reserve policy because now primary dealers can borrow directly from the Fed when this used to be prohibited . Interest on reserves ( edit ) Main article : Interest on excess reserves in the United States As of October 2008 , the Federal Reserve banks will pay interest on reserve balances ( required and excess ) held by depository institutions . The rate is set at the lowest federal funds rate during the reserve maintenance period of an institution , less 75 bp . As of October 23 , 2008 , the Fed has lowered the spread to a mere 35 bp . Term deposit Facility ( edit ) The Term Deposit Facility is a program through which the Federal Reserve Banks will offer interest - bearing term deposits to eligible institutions . By removing `` excess deposits '' from participating banks , the overall level of reserves available for lending is reduced , which should result in increased market interest rates , acting as a brake on economic activity and inflation . The Federal Reserve has stated that : Term deposits will be one of several tools that the Federal Reserve could employ to drain reserves when policymakers judge that it is appropriate to begin moving to a less accommodative stance of monetary policy . The development of the TDF is a matter of prudent planning and has no implication for the near - term conduct of monetary policy . The Federal Reserve initially authorized up to five `` small - value offerings are designed to ensure the effectiveness of TDF operations and to provide eligible institutions with an opportunity to gain familiarity with term deposit procedures . '' After three of the offering auctions were successfully completed , it was announced that small - value auctions would continue on an ongoing basis . The Term Deposit Facility is essentially a tool available to reverse the efforts that have been employed to provide liquidity to the financial markets and to reduce the amount of capital available to the economy . As stated in Bloomberg News : Policy makers led by Chairman Ben S. Bernanke are preparing for the day when they will have to start siphoning off more than $1 trillion in excess reserves from the banking system to contain inflation . The Fed is charting an eventual return to normal monetary policy , even as a weakening near - term outlook has raised the possibility it may expand its balance sheet . Chairman Ben S. Bernanke , testifying before House Committee on Financial Services , described the Term Deposit Facility and other facilities to Congress in the following terms : Most importantly , in October 2008 the Congress gave the Federal Reserve statutory authority to pay interest on balances that banks hold at the Federal Reserve Banks . By increasing the interest rate on banks ' reserves , the Federal Reserve will be able to put significant upward pressure on all short - term interest rates , as banks will not supply short - term funds to the money markets at rates significantly below what they can earn by holding reserves at the Federal Reserve Banks . Actual and prospective increases in short - term interest rates will be reflected in turn in higher longer - term interest rates and in tighter financial conditions more generally ... As an additional means of draining reserves , the Federal Reserve is also developing plans to offer to depository institutions term deposits , which are roughly analogous to certificates of deposit that the institutions offer to their customers . A proposal describing a term deposit facility was recently published in the Federal Register , and the Federal Reserve is finalizing a revised proposal in light of the public comments that have been received . After a revised proposal is reviewed by the Board , we expect to be able to conduct test transactions this spring and to have the facility available if necessary thereafter . The use of reverse repos and the deposit facility would together allow the Federal Reserve to drain hundreds of billions of dollars of reserves from the banking system quite quickly , should it choose to do so . When these tools are used to drain reserves from the banking system , they do so by replacing bank reserves with other liabilities ; the asset side and the overall size of the Federal Reserve 's balance sheet remain unchanged . If necessary , as a means of applying monetary restraint , the Federal Reserve also has the option of redeeming or selling securities . The redemption or sale of securities would have the effect of reducing the size of the Federal Reserve 's balance sheet as well as further reducing the quantity of reserves in the banking system . Restoring the size and composition of the balance sheet to a more normal configuration is a longer - term objective of our policies . In any case , the sequencing of steps and the combination of tools that the Federal Reserve uses as it exits from its currently very accommodative policy stance will depend on economic and financial developments and on our best judgments about how to meet the Federal Reserve 's dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability . In sum , in response to severe threats to our economy , the Federal Reserve created a series of special lending facilities to stabilize the financial system and encourage the resumption of private credit flows to American families and businesses . As market conditions and the economic outlook have improved , these programs have been terminated or are being phased out . The Federal Reserve also promoted economic recovery through sharp reductions in its target for the federal funds rate and through large - scale purchases of securities . The economy continues to require the support of accommodative monetary policies . However , we have been working to ensure that we have the tools to reverse , at the appropriate time , the currently very high degree of monetary stimulus . We have full confidence that , when the time comes , we will be ready to do so . Asset backed commercial paper money market Mutual Fund liquidity Facility ( edit ) The Asset Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility ( ABCPMMMFLF ) was also called the AMLF . The Facility began operations on September 22 , 2008 , and was closed on February 1 , 2010 . All U.S. depository institutions , bank holding companies ( parent companies or U.S. broker - dealer affiliates ) , or U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks were eligible to borrow under this facility pursuant to the discretion of the FRBB . Collateral eligible for pledge under the Facility was required to meet the following criteria : was purchased by Borrower on or after September 19 , 2008 from a registered investment company that held itself out as a money market mutual fund ; was purchased by Borrower at the Fund 's acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount on the ABCP through the date of its purchase by Borrower ; was rated at the time pledged to FRBB , not lower than A1 , F1 , or P1 by at least two major rating agencies or , if rated by only one major rating agency , the ABCP must have been rated within the top rating category by that agency ; was issued by an entity organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof under a program that was in existence on September 18 , 2008 ; and had stated maturity that did not exceed 120 days if the Borrower was a bank or 270 days for non-bank Borrowers . Commercial paper funding Facility ( edit ) On October 7 , 2008 , the Federal Reserve further expanded the collateral it will loan against to include commercial paper using the new Commercial Paper Funding Facility ( CPFF ) . The action made the Fed a crucial source of credit for non-financial businesses in addition to commercial banks and investment firms . Fed officials said they 'll buy as much of the debt as necessary to get the market functioning again . They refused to say how much that might be , but they noted that around $1.3 trillion worth of commercial paper would qualify . There was $1.61 trillion in outstanding commercial paper , seasonally adjusted , on the market as of October 1 , 2008 , according to the most recent data from the Fed . That was down from $1.70 trillion in the previous week . Since the summer of 2007 , the market has shrunk from more than $2.2 trillion . This program lent out a total $738 billion before it was closed . Forty - five out of 81 of the companies participating in this program were foreign firms . Research shows that Troubled Asset Relief Program ( TARP ) recipients were twice as likely to participate in the program than other commercial paper issuers who did not take advantage of the TARP bailout . The Fed incurred no losses from the CPFF . Quantitative policy ( edit ) A little - used tool of the Federal Reserve is the quantitative policy . With that the Federal Reserve actually buys back corporate bonds and mortgage backed securities held by banks or other financial institutions . This in effect puts money back into the financial institutions and allows them to make loans and conduct normal business . The bursting of the United States housing bubble prompted the Fed to buy mortgage - backed securities for the first time in November 2008 . Over six weeks , a total of $1.25 trillion were purchased in order to stabilize the housing market , about one - fifth of all U.S. government - backed mortgages . History ( edit ) Timeline of central banking in the United States Dates System 1782 -- 1791 Bank of North America ( de facto , under the Confederation Congress ) 1791 -- 1811 First Bank of the United States 1811 -- 1816 No central bank 1816 -- 1836 Second Bank of the United States 1837 -- 1862 Free Banking Era 1846 -- 1921 Independent Treasury System 1863 -- 1913 National Banks 1913 -- present Federal Reserve System Sources : Central banking in the United States , 1791 -- 1913 ( edit ) Main article : History of central banking in the United States The first attempt at a national currency was during the American Revolutionary War . In 1775 , the Continental Congress , as well as the states , began issuing paper currency , calling the bills `` Continentals '' . The Continentals were backed only by future tax revenue , and were used to help finance the Revolutionary War . Overprinting , as well as British counterfeiting , caused the value of the Continental to diminish quickly . This experience with paper money led the United States to strip the power to issue Bills of Credit ( paper money ) from a draft of the new Constitution on August 16 , 1787 , as well as banning such issuance by the various states , and limiting the states ' ability to make anything but gold or silver coin legal tender on August 28 . In 1791 , the government granted the First Bank of the United States a charter to operate as the U.S. central bank until 1811 . The First Bank of the United States came to an end under President Madison because Congress refused to renew its charter . The Second Bank of the United States was established in 1816 , and lost its authority to be the central bank of the U.S. twenty years later under President Jackson when its charter expired . Both banks were based upon the Bank of England . Ultimately , a third national bank , known as the Federal Reserve , was established in 1913 and still exists to this day . First central Bank , 1791 and second central Bank , 1816 ( edit ) The first U.S. institution with central banking responsibilities was the First Bank of the United States , chartered by Congress and signed into law by President George Washington on February 25 , 1791 , at the urging of Alexander Hamilton . This was done despite strong opposition from Thomas Jefferson and James Madison , among numerous others . The charter was for twenty years and expired in 1811 under President Madison , because Congress refused to renew it . In 1816 , however , Madison revived it in the form of the Second Bank of the United States . Years later , early renewal of the bank 's charter became the primary issue in the reelection of President Andrew Jackson . After Jackson , who was opposed to the central bank , was reelected , he pulled the government 's funds out of the bank . Jackson was the only President to completely pay off the debt . The bank 's charter was not renewed in 1836 . From 1837 to 1862 , in the Free Banking Era there was no formal central bank . From 1846 to 1921 , an Independent Treasury System ruled . From 1863 to 1913 , a system of national banks was instituted by the 1863 National Banking Act during which series of bank panics , in 1873 , 1893 , and 1907 occurred Creation of third central Bank , 1907 -- 1913 ( edit ) Main article : History of the Federal Reserve System The main motivation for the third central banking system came from the Panic of 1907 , which caused renewed demands for banking and currency reform . During the last quarter of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century , the United States economy went through a series of financial panics . According to many economists , the previous national banking system had two main weaknesses : an inelastic currency and a lack of liquidity . In 1908 , Congress enacted the Aldrich -- Vreeland Act , which provided for an emergency currency and established the National Monetary Commission to study banking and currency reform . The National Monetary Commission returned with recommendations which were repeatedly rejected by Congress . A revision crafted during a secret meeting on Jekyll Island by Senator Aldrich and representatives of the nation 's top finance and industrial groups later became the basis of the Federal Reserve Act . The House voted on December 22 , 1913 , with 298 voting yes to 60 voting no . The Senate voted 43 -- 25 on December 23 , 1913 . President Woodrow Wilson signed the bill later that day . Federal Reserve Act , 1913 ( edit ) Main article : Federal Reserve Act Newspaper clipping , December 24 , 1913 The head of the bipartisan National Monetary Commission was financial expert and Senate Republican leader Nelson Aldrich . Aldrich set up two commissions -- one to study the American monetary system in depth and the other , headed by Aldrich himself , to study the European central banking systems and report on them . In early November 1910 , Aldrich met with five well known members of the New York banking community to devise a central banking bill . Paul Warburg , an attendee of the meeting and longtime advocate of central banking in the U.S. , later wrote that Aldrich was `` bewildered at all that he had absorbed abroad and he was faced with the difficult task of writing a highly technical bill while being harassed by the daily grind of his parliamentary duties '' . After ten days of deliberation , the bill , which would later be referred to as the `` Aldrich Plan '' , was agreed upon . It had several key components , including a central bank with a Washington - based headquarters and fifteen branches located throughout the U.S. in geographically strategic locations , and a uniform elastic currency based on gold and commercial paper . Aldrich believed a central banking system with no political involvement was best , but was convinced by Warburg that a plan with no public control was not politically feasible . The compromise involved representation of the public sector on the Board of Directors . Aldrich 's bill met much opposition from politicians . Critics charged Aldrich of being biased due to his close ties to wealthy bankers such as J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller , Jr. , Aldrich 's son - in - law . Most Republicans favored the Aldrich Plan , but it lacked enough support in Congress to pass because rural and western states viewed it as favoring the `` eastern establishment '' . In contrast , progressive Democrats favored a reserve system owned and operated by the government ; they believed that public ownership of the central bank would end Wall Street 's control of the American currency supply . Conservative Democrats fought for a privately owned , yet decentralized , reserve system , which would still be free of Wall Street 's control . The original Aldrich Plan was dealt a fatal blow in 1912 , when Democrats won the White House and Congress . Nonetheless , President Woodrow Wilson believed that the Aldrich plan would suffice with a few modifications . The plan became the basis for the Federal Reserve Act , which was proposed by Senator Robert Owen in May 1913 . The primary difference between the two bills was the transfer of control of the Board of Directors ( called the Federal Open Market Committee in the Federal Reserve Act ) to the government . The bill passed Congress on December 23 , 1913 , on a mostly partisan basis , with most Democrats voting `` yea '' and most Republicans voting `` nay '' . Federal Reserve Era , 1913 -- present ( edit ) Main article : History of the Federal Reserve This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( October 2015 ) Key laws affecting the Federal Reserve have been : Federal Reserve Act , 1913 Glass -- Steagall Act Banking Act of 1935 Employment Act of 1946 Federal Reserve - Treasury Department Accord of 1951 Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and the amendments of 1970 Federal Reserve Reform Act of 1977 International Banking Act of 1978 Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act ( 1978 ) Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act ( 1980 ) Financial Institutions Reform , Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 Gramm -- Leach -- Bliley Act ( 1999 ) Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act ( 2006 ) Emergency Economic Stabilization Act ( 2008 ) Dodd -- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ( 2010 ) Measurement of economic variables ( edit ) The Federal Reserve records and publishes large amounts of data . A few websites where data is published are at the Board of Governors Economic Data and Research page , the Board of Governors statistical releases and historical data page , and at the St. Louis Fed 's FRED ( Federal Reserve Economic Data ) page . The Federal Open Market Committee ( FOMC ) examines many economic indicators prior to determining monetary policy . Some criticism involves economic data compiled by the Fed . The Fed sponsors much of the monetary economics research in the U.S. , and Lawrence H. White objects that this makes it less likely for researchers to publish findings challenging the status quo . Net worth of households and nonprofit organizations ( edit ) Total Net Worth -- Balance Sheet of Households and Nonprofit Organizations 1949 -- 2012 The net worth of households and nonprofit organizations in the United States is published by the Federal Reserve in a report titled Flow of Funds . At the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 , this value was $64.8 trillion . At the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 , this value was $95.5 trillion . Money supply ( edit ) Further information : Money supply The most common measures are named M0 ( narrowest ) , M1 , M2 , and M3 . In the United States they are defined by the Federal Reserve as follows : Measure Definition M0 The total of all physical currency , plus accounts at the central bank that can be exchanged for physical currency . M1 M0 + those portions of M0 held as reserves or vault cash + the amount in demand accounts ( `` checking '' or `` current '' accounts ) . M2 M1 + most savings accounts , money market accounts , and small denomination time deposits ( certificates of deposit of under $100,000 ) . M3 M2 + all other CDs , deposits of eurodollars and repurchase agreements . The Federal Reserve stopped publishing M3 statistics in March 2006 , saying that the data cost a lot to collect but did not provide significantly useful information . The other three money supply measures continue to be provided in detail . CPI vs M2 money supply increases Personal consumption expenditures price index ( edit ) Further information : Personal consumption expenditures price index The Personal consumption expenditures price index , also referred to as simply the PCE price index , is used as one measure of the value of money . It is a United States - wide indicator of the average increase in prices for all domestic personal consumption . Using a variety of data including United States Consumer Price Index and U.S. Producer Price Index prices , it is derived from the largest component of the gross domestic product in the BEA 's National Income and Product Accounts , personal consumption expenditures . One of the Fed 's main roles is to maintain price stability , which means that the Fed 's ability to keep a low inflation rate is a long - term measure of their success . Although the Fed is not required to maintain inflation within a specific range , their long run target for the growth of the PCE price index is between 1.5 and 2 percent . There has been debate among policy makers as to whether the Federal Reserve should have a specific inflation targeting policy . Inflation and the economy ( edit ) Most mainstream economists favor a low , steady rate of inflation . Low ( as opposed to zero or negative ) inflation may reduce the severity of economic recessions by enabling the labor market to adjust more quickly in a downturn , and reduce the risk that a liquidity trap prevents monetary policy from stabilizing the economy . The task of keeping the rate of inflation low and stable is usually given to monetary authorities . Unemployment rate ( edit ) Further information : Unemployment rate § United States Bureau of Labor Statistics , and List of U.S. states by unemployment rate United States unemployment rates 1975 -- 2010 showing variance between the fifty states One of the stated goals of monetary policy is maximum employment . The unemployment rate statistics are collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics , and like the PCE price index are used as a barometer of the nation 's economic health . Budget ( edit ) The Federal Reserve is self - funded . The vast majority ( 90 % + ) of Fed revenues come from open market operations , specifically the interest on the portfolio of Treasury securities as well as `` capital gains / losses '' that may arise from the buying / selling of the securities and their derivatives as part of Open Market Operations . The balance of revenues come from sales of financial services ( check and electronic payment processing ) and discount window loans . The Board of Governors ( Federal Reserve Board ) creates a budget report once per year for Congress . There are two reports with budget information . The one that lists the complete balance statements with income and expenses as well as the net profit or loss is the large report simply titled , `` Annual Report '' . It also includes data about employment throughout the system . The other report , which explains in more detail the expenses of the different aspects of the whole system , is called `` Annual Report : Budget Review '' . These detailed comprehensive reports can be found at the Board of Governors ' website under the section `` Reports to Congress '' Federal Reserve remittance payments to the treasury Net worth ( edit ) Balance sheet ( edit ) This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( July 2015 ) Federal Reserve total assets , treasuries , and mortages One of the keys to understanding the Federal Reserve is the Federal Reserve balance sheet ( or balance statement ) . In accordance with Section 11 of the Federal Reserve Act , the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System publishes once each week the `` Consolidated Statement of Condition of All Federal Reserve Banks '' showing the condition of each Federal Reserve bank and a consolidated statement for all Federal Reserve banks . The Board of Governors requires that excess earnings of the Reserve Banks be transferred to the Treasury as interest on Federal Reserve notes . Below is the balance sheet as of July 6 , 2011 ( in billions of dollars ) : Note : The Fed balance sheet shown in this article has assets , liabilities and net equity that do not add to the balance . The Fed balance sheet is missing the item `` Reserve Balances with Federal Reserve Banks '' which would make the figures balance .

Critique of the organization and system has come from sources such as writers , journalists , economists , and financial institutions as well as politicians and various government employees . Criticisms include transparency , doubt of efficacy due to what is seen by some as poor historical performance and traditionalist concerns about the debasement of the value of the dollar . From the beginning , the Federal Reserve has been the subject of many popular conspiracy theories , that typically link the Fed to numerous other supposed conspiracies .

Before its introduction , banks either had to raise money in the open market or use the so - called `` discount window '' for emergencies . However , last year many banks refused to use the discount window , even though they found it hard to raise funds in the market , because it was associated with the stigma of bank failure Jump up ^ `` Fed Boosts Next Two Special Auctions to $30 Billion '' . Bloomberg . January 4 , 2008 . The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System established the temporary Term Auction Facility , dubbed TAF , in December to provide cash after interest - rate cuts failed to break banks ' reluctance to lend amid concern about losses related to subprime mortgage securities . The program will make funding from the Fed available beyond the 20 authorized primary dealers that trade with the central bank Jump up ^ `` A dirty job , but someone has to do it '' . economist.com . December 13 , 2007 . Retrieved August 29 , 2011 . The Fed 's discount window , for instance , through which it lends direct to banks , has barely been approached , despite the soaring spreads in the interbank market . The quarter - point cuts in its federal funds rate and discount rate on December 11 were followed by a steep sell - off in the stockmarket ... The hope is that by extending the maturity of central - bank money , broadening the range of collateral against which banks can borrow and shifting from direct lending to an auction , the central bankers will bring down spreads in the one - and three - month money markets . There will be no net addition of liquidity . What the central bankers add at longer - term maturities , they will take out in the overnight market . But there are risks . The first is that , for all the fanfare , the central banks ' plan will make little difference . After all , it does nothing to remove the fundamental reason why investors are worried about lending to banks . This is the uncertainty about potential losses from subprime mortgages and the products based on them , and -- given that uncertainty -- the banks ' own desire to hoard capital against the chance that they will have to strengthen their balance sheets .

"The Federal Reserve System (also known as the Federal Reserve or simply the Fed) is the central banking system of the United States of America. It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act, after a series of financial panics (particularly the panic of 1907) led to the desire for central control of the monetary system in order to alleviate financial crises.[list 1] Over the years, events such as the Great Depression in the 1930s and the Great Recession during the 2000s have led to the expansion of the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Reserve System.[5][10][11]\n"

The United States Office of War Information ( OWI ) was a United States government agency created during World War II to consolidate existing government information services and deliver propaganda both at home and abroad . OWI operated from June 1942 until September 1945 . Through radio broadcasts , newspapers , posters , photographs , films and other forms of media , the OWI was the connection between the battlefront and civilian communities . The office also established several overseas branches , which launched a large - scale information and propaganda campaign abroad . Contents ( hide ) 1 Origins 2 Domestic operations 3 Foreign operations 4 European Theater 5 Pacific Theater 6 Controversies at home 7 Dissolution and legacy 8 People 9 See also 10 Notes 11 References 12 Archives 13 External links Origins ( edit ) President Franklin D. Roosevelt promulgated the OWI on June 13 , 1942 by Executive Order 9182 to consolidate the functions of the Office of Facts and Figures ( OWI 's direct predecessor ) , the Office of Government Reports , and the Division of Information of the Office for Emergency Management . The Foreign Information Service , a division of the Office of the Coordinator of Information , became the core of the Overseas Branch of the OWI . At the onset of World War II , the American public was in the dark regarding wartime information . One American observer noted : `` It all seemed to boil down to three bitter complaints ... first , that there was too much information ; second , that there was n't enough of it ; and third , that in any event it was confusing and inconsistent '' . Further , the American public confessed a lack of understanding as to why the world was at war , and held great resentment against other Allied Nations . President Roosevelt established the OWI to both meet the demands for news and less confusion , as well as resolve American apathy towards the war . The OWI 's creation was not without controversy . The American public , and the United States Congress in particular , were wary of propaganda for several reasons . First , the press feared a centralized agency as the sole distributor of wartime information . Second , Congress feared an American propaganda machine that could resemble Joseph Goebbels ' operation in Nazi Germany . Third , previous attempts at propaganda under the Committee on Public Information / Creel Committee during WWI were viewed as a failure . And fourth , America was experiencing endemic isolationism and was hesitant to become involved in a global propaganda campaign and subsequently a global war . Pearl Harbor , Hawaii . A small boat rescues a seaman from the 31,800 ton USS West Virginia burning in the foreground . But in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor , the need for coordinated and properly disseminated wartime information from the military / administration to the public outweighed the fears associated with American propaganda . President Roosevelt entrusted the OWI to beloved journalist and CBS newsman Elmer Davis , with the mission to take `` an active part in winning the war and in laying the foundations for a better postwar world '' . Elmer Davis , Director of the Office of War Information , examines Nazi and Japanese propaganda organs . President Roosevelt ordered Davis to `` formulate and carry out , through the use of press , radio , motion picture , and other facilities , information programs designed to facilitate the development of an informed and intelligent understanding , at home and abroad , of the status and progress of the war effort and of the war policies , activities , and aims of the Government '' . The OWI 's operations were thus divided between the Domestic and Overseas Branches . M - 4 tank crew . OWI photo , 1942 . Domestic operations ( edit ) The OWI Domestic Radio Bureau produced series such as This is Our Enemy ( spring 1942 ) , which dealt with Germany , Japan , and Italy ; Uncle Sam , which dealt with domestic themes ; and Hasten the Day ( August 1943 ) , which focussed on the Home Front , the NBC Blue Network 's Chaplain Jim . The radio producer Norman Corwin produced several series for OWI , including An American in England , An American in Russia , and Passport for Adams , which starred Robert Young , Ray Collins , Paul Stewart and Harry Davenport . Washington , D.C. Radio repair service in the self - help exchange . In 1942 OWI established the Voice of America ( VOA ) , which remains in service as of 2017 as the official government broadcasting service of the United States . The VOA initially borrowed transmitters from the commercial networks . The programs OWI produced included those provided by the Labor Short Wave Bureau , whose material came from the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations . Servicing a Douglas A-20 Havoc bomber . OWI photo , 1942 . In conjunction with the War Relocation Authority , the OWI produced a series of documentary films related to the internment of Japanese Americans . Japanese Relocation and several other films were designed to educate the general public on the internment , to counter the tide of anti-Japanese sentiment in the country , and to encourage Japanese - American internees to resettle outside camp or to enter military service . The OWI also worked with camp newspapers to disseminate information to internees . During 1942 and 1943 the OWI boasted two photographic units whose photographers documented the country 's mobilization during the early years of the war , concentrating on such topics as aircraft factories and women in the workforce . In addition , the OWI produced a series of 267 newsreels in 16 mm film , The United Newsreel which were shown overseas and to US audiences . These newsreels incorporated U.S. military footage . For examples see this Google list . The OWI Bureau of Motion Pictures ( BMP ) worked with Hollywood to produce films that advanced American war aims . According to Elmer Davis , `` The easiest way to inject a propaganda idea into most people 's minds is to let it go through the medium of an entertainment picture when they do not realize that they are being propagandized . '' Successful films depicted the Allied armed forces as valiant `` Freedom fighters '' , and advocated for civilian participation , such as conserving fuel or donating food to troops . By July 1942 OWI administrators realized that the best way to reach American audiences was to present war films in conjunction with feature films . OWI 's presence in Hollywood deepened throughout World War II , and by 1943 every Hollywood studio ( except for Paramount ) allowed OWI to examine all movie scripts . OWI evaluated whether each film would promote the honor of the Allies ' mission . Foreign operations ( edit ) The Overseas Branch enjoyed greater success and less controversy than the Domestic Branch . Abroad , the OWI operated a Psychological Warfare Branch ( PWB ) , which used propaganda to terrorize enemy forces in combat zones , in addition to informing civilian populations in Allied camps . Leaflet warfare gained popularity during World War II and was utilized in regions such as Northern Africa , Italy , Germany , the Philippines , and Japan . For example , in Japan , the OWI printed and dropped over 180 million leaflets , with about 98 million being dropped in the summer months of 1945 . Leaflets dropped in Tunisia read : `` You Are Surrounded '' and `` Drowning Is a Nasty Death '' . Millions of leaflets dropped in Sicily read : `` The time has come for you to decide whether Italians shall die for Mussolini and Hitler -- or live for Italy and civilization '' . OWI also used newspapers and publicized magazines to further American war aims . Magazines distributed to foreign audiences , such as Victory , intended to convey to foreign Allied civilians that American civilians were contributing to the war . Victory showcased America 's manufacturing power , and sought to foster an appreciation for the American lifestyle . Aside from the aforementioned publication and production styles of propaganda , the OWI also utilized unconventional propaganda vehicles known as `` specialty items . '' Specific examples of these items include packets of seeds , matchbooks , soap paper , and sewing kits . The packets of seeds had an American flag and a message printed on the outside that identified the donor . Each matchbook was inscribed with the `` Four Freedoms '' on the inside cover . Soap paper was etched with the message : `` From your friends the United Nations . Dip in water - use like soap . WASH OFF THE NAZI DIRT . '' Sewing kit pincushions were shaped like a human rear end . On the reverse side lay a caricatured face of either Adolf Hitler or Japanese General Hideki Tojo . Death unless you surrender . Here is an OWI leaflet giving Japan 's ultimatum to the Filipino people . In reply , the Filipinos threw their entire resources and manpower into the struggle on the side of the United States . The details of OWI 's involvement can be divided into operations in the European and Pacific Theaters . European theater ( edit ) One of the most astounding of all OWI operations occurred in Luxembourg . Known as Operation Annie , the United States 12th Army Group ran a secret radio station from 2 : 00 - 6 : 30am every morning from a house in Luxembourg pretending to be loyal Rhinelanders under Nazi occupation . They spoke of Nazi commanders hiding their desperate position from the German public , which caused dissent among Nazi supporters . Further , they led Nazi forces into an Allied trap , and then staged an Allied attack on the Annie Radio office to maintain their cover . On the Eastern front , the OWI struggled not to offend Polish and Soviet Allies . As the Soviets advanced from the East towards Germany , they swept through Poland without hesitation . However , Poles considered much of the land of the Eastern front as their own . The OWI struggled to present the news ( including the pronunciation of town names or and discussion of county or national boundaries ) without offending either party . Further , Poles and Soviets criticized the OWI for promoting the idealization of war , when their physical and human losses so heavily outweighed that of America 's . Pacific theater ( edit ) The OWI was one of the most prolific sources of propaganda in `` Free China . '' They operated a sophisticated propaganda machine that sought to demoralize the Japanese army and create a portrait of US war aims that would appeal to the Chinese audience . OWI employed many Chinese , second - generation Japanese ( Nisei ) , Japanese POWs , Korean exiles , etc. to help gather and translate information , as well as transmit programs in multiple languages across the Pacific . OWI also created communication channels ( logistical support ) for intelligence and coded information . However , the OWI encountered public relations difficulties in China and India . In China , the OWI unsuccessfully attempted to stay removed from the Nationalist versus Communist conflict . However , the Roosevelt administration and OWI officials took issue with many aspects of Chiang Kai - shek 's rule , and conversely , Chiang placed spies in the OWI . Also , the OWI struggled to paint a post-war image of China without offending Nationalist or Communist leaders . In India , the Americans and British agreed to win the war first , then deal with ( de ) colonization . The OWI feared that broadcasts advocating liberty from oppression would incite India rebellions and jeopardize cooperation with the British . But this approach angered Indians as well as the African - American lobby at home who recognized the hypocrisy in American policy . Controversies at home ( edit ) The OWI suffered from conflicting aims and poor management . For instance , Elmer Davis , who wanted to `` see that the American people are truthfully informed , '' clashed with the military that withheld information for `` public safety '' . Further , OWI employees grew evermore dissatisfied with `` what they regarded as a turn away from the fundamental , complex issues of the war in favor of manipulation and stylized exhortation '' . On April 14 , 1943 , several OWI writers resigned from office and released a scathing statement to the press explaining how they no longer felt they could give an objective picture of the war because `` high - pressure promoters who prefer slick salesmanship to honest information '' dictated OWI decision - making . President Roosevelt 's `` wait - and - see '' attitude and wavering public support for OWI damaged public opinion of the agency . Rosie the Riveter : A job which was formerly done by hand ( and by men ) is done in this large Midwest drill and tool plant by women at machines . Congressional opposition to the domestic operations of the OWI resulted in increasingly curtailed funds . Congress accused the OWI as President Roosevelt 's campaign agency , and pounced on any miscommunications and scandals as reason for disbandment . In 1943 , the OWI 's appropriations were cut out of the following year 's budget and only restored with strict restrictions on OWI 's domestic capabilities . Many overseas branch offices were closed , as well as the Motion Picture Bureau . By 1944 the OWI operated mostly in the foreign field , contributing to undermining enemy morale . The agency was abolished in 1945 , and many of its foreign functions were transferred to the Department of State . Some of the writers , producers , and actors of OWI programs admired the Soviet Union and were either loosely affiliated with or were members of the Communist Party USA . The director of Pacific operations for the OWI , Owen Lattimore , who later accompanied U.S. Vice-President Henry Wallace on a mission to China and Mongolia in 1944 , was later alleged to be a Soviet agent on the basis of testimony by a defector from the Soviet GRU , General Alexander Barmine . In his final report , Elmer Davis noted that he had fired 35 employees , because of past Communist associations , though the FBI files showed no formal allegiance to the CPUSA . Flora Wovschin , who worked for the OWI from September 1943 to February 1945 , was later revealed in the Venona project intercepts to have been a Soviet spy . Dissolution and legacy ( edit ) The OWI was terminated , effective September 15 , 1945 , by Executive Order on August 31 , 1945 . President Truman cited OWI for `` outstanding contribution to victory , '' and saw no reason to continue funding the agency post-war . The international offices of the OWI were transferred to the State Department , and the United States Information Service and the Office of Strategic Services / Central Intelligence Agency assumed many of the information gathering , analyzing , and disseminating responsibilities . Despite its troubled existence , OWI is widely considered to be influential in the Allied victory and mobilizing American support for the war domestically .

The American version has been very successful . From the 2000 -- 01 through the 2005 -- 06 television seasons , its first eleven seasons ( competitions ) rated among the top ten most watched shows . It is commonly considered the leader of American reality TV because it was the first highly rated and profitable reality show on broadcast television in the U.S. , and is considered one of the best shows of the 2000s ( decade ) .

Sixteen or more players , split between two or more `` tribes '' , are taken to a remote isolated location ( usually in a tropical climate ) and are forced to live off the land with meager supplies for 39 days ( 42 in The Australian Outback ) . Frequent physical and mental challenges are used to pit the teams against each other for rewards , such as food or luxuries , or for `` immunity '' , forcing the other tribe to attend `` Tribal Council '' , where they must vote off one of their tribe mates . Signaling the halfway point in the game , survivors from both tribes come together to live as one , making it to the ' merge ' . At this point , survivor will compete against each other to win Individual Immunity ; winning immunity prevents that player from being voted out at Tribal Council . Most players that are voted out after the merge - form the game 's `` jury '' . Once down three people , a final Tribal Council is held where the remaining players plead their case to the jury members . The jury then votes for which player should be considered the `` Sole Survivor '' and win the show 's grand prize . In all seasons for the United States version , this has included a $1 million prize in addition to the Sole Survivor title ; some seasons ( particularly earlier seasons ) have included additional prizes , such as a car . The U.S. version has introduced numerous modifications , or `` twists '' , on the core rules in order to keep the players on their toes and to prevent players from relying on strategies that succeeded in prior seasons . These changes have included tribal switches , seasons starting with more than two tribes , the ability to exile a player from a tribe for a short time , hidden immunity idols that players can use to save themselves or others at Tribal Council , special voting powers which can be used to influence the result at Tribal Council , chance to return to regular gameplay after elimination through the `` Redemption Island '' or `` The Outcast Tribe '' twists , and a final four fire - making challenge as of season 35 .

Parsons formed Planet24 with Bob Geldof to produce the show and tried to have the BBC broadcast it , but the network turned it down . Parsons went to Swedish television and was able to find a broadcaster , ultimately producing Expedition Robinson in 1997 . The show was a success , and plans for international versions were made . Mark Burnett intended to be the person to bring the show to the United States , though he recognized that the Swedish version was a bit crude and mean - spirited . Burnett retooled the concept to use better production values , based on his prior Eco-Challenge show , and wanted to focus more on the human drama experienced while under pressure . Burnett spent about a year trying to find a broadcaster that would take the show , retooling the concept based on feedback . On November 24 , 1999 , Burnett made his pitch to Les Moonves of CBS , and Moonves agreed to pick up the show . The first season , Survivor : Borneo was filmed during March and April 2000 , and was first broadcast on May 31 , 2000 . The first season became a ratings success , leading to its current ongoing run . Locations ( edit ) The American version of Survivor has been shot in many locations around the world since the first season , usually favoring warm and tropical climates . Though locations varied across the globe in the first dozen seasons , more recent seasons have used the same general location for back - to - back filming of two cycles ( for example , the use of Samoa for filming of seasons 19 , 20 ) . Since the 33rd season , the show has filmed in Fiji . Continent / Region Locations ( season number ) Africa ( 2 ) Kenya ( 3 ) , Gabon ( 17 ) Asia ( 9 ) Malaysia ( 1 ) , Thailand ( 5 ) , China ( 15 ) , Philippines ( 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ) , Cambodia ( 31 , 32 ) Oceania ( 15 ) Australia ( 2 ) , French Polynesia ( 4 ) , Vanuatu ( 9 ) , Palau ( 10 , 16 ) , Cook Islands ( 13 ) , Fiji ( 14 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ) , Samoa ( 19 , 20 , 23 , 24 ) Central America ( 8 ) Panama ( 7 , 8 , 12 ) , Guatemala ( 11 ) , Nicaragua ( 21 , 22 , 29 , 30 ) South America ( 2 ) Brazil ( 6 , 18 ) Since The Australian Outback , the announcement of each season 's winner and subsequent reunion have been broadcast live in front of a studio audience , usually alternating between the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City ( home to the CBS ' Late Show franchise ) and CBS Television City or the CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles .

The most common recipient has been the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation . Most recently , proceeds have gone toward The Serpentine Project , a charity founded by Jeff Probst , dedicated to helping those transitioning out of foster care upon emancipation at 18 years of age . Items up for auction have included flags , mats , tree mails , contestant torches , contestant clothing , autographed items , immunity idols and the voting urn . Controversies and legal action ( edit ) In February 2001 , Stacey Stillman filed a lawsuit claiming that producers interfered in the process of Survivor : Borneo by persuading two members of her tribe ( Sean Kenniff and Dirk Been ) to vote her off instead of Rudy Boesch . During a reward trip on Survivor : The Australian Outback , Colby Donaldson removed coral from the Great Barrier Reef and , on the same trip , a helicopter involved with the production crew flew around protected seabird rookeries . Both acts violated Australian law and the incidents could have resulted in fines up to A $ 110,000 . Mark Burnett , the executive producer , issued an apology on behalf of Donaldson and the Survivor production team . At the tribal immunity challenge for the final four players on Survivor : Africa , host Jeff Probst asked which female player in their season had no piercings . Kim Johnson answered Kelly Goldsmith , got the point , and went on to win the challenge , which put her through to the final three and ultimately ( after winning another immunity challenge ) the final two . Unbeknownst to the producers , another contestant on `` Africa '' , Lindsey Richter , also had no piercings . Lex van den Berghe 's answer had been Lindsey , but the show did not award him a point , which could have significantly changed the outcome of the challenge and the overall game . CBS later paid van den Berghe and Tom Buchanan , who had finished in fourth place , a settlement . In the fifth episode of Survivor : All - Stars , a naked Richard Hatch came into contact with Sue Hawk after she blocked his path during an immunity challenge . Hatch was voted out that day for other reasons , but Hawk quit the game two days later as a result of what had happened . Hawk considered filing a lawsuit against the parties involved , but appeared with Hatch on The Early Show the morning after the sixth episode aired , stating she opted out of legal action because CBS had helped her `` deal with the situation '' . Rupert Boneham , a contestant on Pearl Islands and All - Stars , was extremely popular with television audiences , but finished eighth and fourth , respectively , in his appearances on the show . As part of a special on the All - Stars reunion ( Survivor : America 's Tribal Council ) , a contest for the 18 players was created , where the winner would be selected by the viewing audience to receive a $1 million prize . Boneham unsurprisingly won this prize , with more than 80 % of the votes cast . Many fans of the show saw this as a way of diluting the overall concept of the show , that instead of outwitting , outplaying and outlasting your fellow tribe members to win the game , a player could now play specifically just to gain popularity with the show 's audience , regardless of how well they played the game , and still be rewarded with a large prize . In January 2006 , Richard Hatch , the winner of the first season of Survivor , was charged and found guilty of failing to report his winnings to the IRS to avoid taxes . He was sentenced to four years and three months in prison . In the beginning of Survivor : Cook Islands , the tribes were grouped according to their race . Probst claimed the choice came from the criticism that Survivor was `` not ethnically diverse enough '' , but several long - term sponsors , including Campbell 's Soup , Procter & Gamble , Home Depot , and Coca - Cola dropped their support of the show shortly after this announcement , leading to speculation that the decisions were in response to the controversy . Each company has either denied the link to the controversy or declined to comment . The selection process for the 14th season came under fire when it was revealed that , of the entire Survivor : Fiji cast , only Gary Stritesky had gone through the application process for the show ; the rest of the contestants were recruited . Probst defended the process , citing finding diversity of cast as a reason . At the Survivor : China reunion show , Denise Martin told producers and the audience that she had been demoted to a janitor from a lunch lady due to the distraction she was to students from her appearance on the show . Because of her misfortune , Burnett awarded Martin $50,000 . But Martin would later recant her story after the school district she worked for publicly stated that she had taken the custodial position before appearing on the show . Martin then decided to donate the $50,000 to charity . A brief uncensored shot of Marcus Lehman 's genitals during the premiere episode of Survivor : Gabon led to the show and network being asked to apologize for the incident . Jim Early ( aka Missyae ) , who was a user on one of the fan forums for Survivor , was sued by Burnett , his production company , and CBS in August 2010 , for allegedly releasing detailed spoiler information for Survivor : Samoa and Survivor : Heroes vs. Villains . Early revealed that he was getting his information from Russell Hantz , a contestant on both seasons , through both phone calls and emails . Early complied in the lawsuit by providing such evidence , eventually leading to its dismissal in January 2011 . Although legal action has yet to be taken against Hantz , the contract for a player in Survivor includes a liability of up to $5 million for the premature revealing of a season 's results . Hantz has stated that the claim is false . Contestants that did not make the jury in Survivor : Caramoan were not allowed on stage for the reunion show . While Jeff Probst claimed that the new stage could not accommodate all 18 of the attending contestants , the format change was panned because the show 's fans and fellow contestants felt that it was unfair for them to be left out in the audience . Erik Reichenbach , who finished 5th and did not even get a chance to speak at the reunion , called out the producers for their treatment of the contestants . Calling it a farce , he criticized how the reunion show left so many unanswered questions about the other contestants and his own evacuation during the season finale . He also criticized how the pre-jury members were completely left out in favor of featuring the show 's former contestants , like Rob Mariano and Rudy Boesch . In the sixth episode of Survivor : Game Changers , Jeff Varner revealed at Tribal Council that fellow contestant Zeke Smith was a transgender man . This caused an immediate uproar amongst his tribemates and host Jeff Probst , which led to Varner 's immediate elimination . The incident was covered by various news outlets , with fans heavily criticizing Varner 's actions . Varner explained himself following the episode 's airdate and expressed regret for his actions . Varner was also fired from his real estate job after the episode aired . Merchandise ( edit ) The wild success of Survivor spawned a wide range of merchandise from the very first season . While early items available were limited to buffs , water bottles , hats , T - shirts , and other typical souvenir items , the marketability of the franchise has grown tremendously . Today , fans can find innumerable items , including computer and board games , interactive online games , mugs , tribal - themed jewelry , beach towels , dog tags , magnets , multi-function tools , DVD seasons , Survivor party kits , insider books , soundtracks , and more .

Other Media ( edit ) Video games ( edit ) In the 2001 Survivor video game for PC , developed by Infogrames , it allows players to play and create characters for the game based on the Borneo or Australian Outback cast members . The game also includes a character creation system for making custom characters . Gameplay consists of choosing survivors ' skills ( fishing , cooking , etc . ) , forming alliances , developing relationships with other tribe members , and voting off competitors at tribal council . The game was very poorly received by critics . GameSpot gave the game a ' Terrible ' score of 2.0 out of 10 , saying `` If you 're harboring even a tiny urge to buy this game , please listen very carefully to this advice : Do n't do it . '' Likewise , IGN gave the game a ' Painful ' 2.4 out of 10 , stating `` It is horribly boring and repetitive . The graphics are weak and even the greatest Survivor fan would break the CD in two after playing it for 20 minutes . '' The game was the recipient of Game Revolution 's lowest score of all time , an F - . An ' interactive review ' was created specially for the game , and features interactive comments like `` The Survival periods are about as much fun as '' followed by a drop - down menu , `` watching paint dry / throbbing hemorrhoids / staring at air / being buried alive . '' On November 4 , 2009 , it was announced that a second video game adaptation would be released for the Wii and Nintendo DS . The game would require players to participate in various challenges like those in the reality shows in order to win . Soundtracks ( edit ) Various soundtracks have been released featuring music composed by Russ Landau , including soundtracks for seasons 9 through 27 ( with the exception of season 14 ) . Thrill ride ( edit ) The Tiki Twirl thrill ride at California 's Great America in Santa Clara , California was originally called Survivor : The Ride . The ride includes a rotating platform that moves along an undulating track . Riders can be sprayed by water guns hidden in oversized tribal masks . Theme elements included drums and other familiar Survivor musical accents playing in the background , Survivor memorabilia throughout the queue and other merchandise for sale in nearby gift shops .

( August 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) McDonaldland was a fantasy world used in the marketing for McDonald 's restaurants . McDonaldland was inhabited by Ronald McDonald and other characters . In addition to being used in advertising , the characters were used as the basis for equipment in the `` playplaces '' attached to some McDonald 's . McDonaldland and the supporting characters were dropped from McDonald 's marketing in 2003 , but Ronald McDonald is still seen in commercials and in Happy Meal toys . Contents 1 History 1.1 Lawsuit 1.2 1980 -- 2003 : Popularity and decline 1.3 2004 -- present : Just Ronald McDonald 2 Characters 3 See also 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) McDonaldland was created by Needham , Harper & Steers in 1970 -- 1971 at the request of McDonald 's for its restaurants . The early commercials were built on an upbeat , bubble - gum style tune , and featured a narrator ; many had plots that involved various villains trying to steal a corresponding food item , foiled by Ronald . In 1976 , Remco created a line of six - inch action figures to celebrate the McDonaldland characters . Lawsuit ( edit ) Further information : Sid & Marty Krofft Television Productions Inc. v. McDonald 's Corp . In 1973 , Sid and Marty Krofft sued McDonald 's , claiming that the entire McDonaldland was a copyright infringement of their television show . The Kroffts claimed that the character Mayor McCheese was a direct rip - off of their character `` H.R. Pufnstuf '' ( a mayor himself ) . At trial , a jury found in favor of the Kroffts and McDonald 's was ordered to pay $50,000 . The case was appealed by both parties to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit . The appeals court , in the 1977 decision of Sid & Marty Krofft Television Productions Inc. v. McDonald 's Corp. , reassessed damages in favor of the Kroffts to more than $1,000,000 . McDonald 's was also ordered to stop producing many of the characters and to stop airing commercials featuring the characters . 1980 -- 2003 : popularity and decline ( edit ) The characters that remained following the lawsuit were Ronald McDonald , Grimace , Hamburglar , and the French Fry Gobblins ( renamed the Fry Guys , and later the Fry Kids with the addition of the Fry Girls ) . Mayor McCheese , Officer Big Mac , Captain Crook , and the Professor were used until 1985 ( however they did return for a Sears advertisement in 1987 ) . Birdie the Early Bird would join the lineup soon after , representing the restaurant 's new breakfast line in the early 1980s . Some of the characters ' physical appearances were revised in later commercials ( notably Hamburglar , Grimace , and Birdie ) . From then on , the characters seemed to live in reality and they interacted with real - life characters , but commercials still took place in `` McDonaldland '' . Soon after , the Happy Meal Gang and the McNugget Buddies were prominent features in the commercials ( representing the restaurant 's `` Happy Meals '' and `` Chicken McNuggets '' respectively , being the menu items that mainly appealed to kids ) along with Ronald . Merchandise featuring the McDonaldland characters included a kid magazine titled `` McDonaldland Fun Times '' , publishing six issues a year . A made - for - television movie , McDonaldland Treasure Island , was released in 1989 , featuring much of the McDonaldland characters from the ' 80s . Video games based on the McDonaldland characters were also released , such as M.C. Kids and McDonald 's Treasure Land Adventure . From 1998 until 2003 , Rugrats creator Klasky Csupo and McDonald 's released a videotape series titled The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald . The series depicted Ronald , Grimace , Birdie , the Hamburglar , and a few new characters like Ronald 's pessimistic dog Sundae . These videos would begin in live action , in what resembled a futuristic McDonaldland . Then when the characters would enter down a tube , or other means of travel , they would become animated . In all the video tapes , Ronald goes on adventures with his friends and they learn new things along the way . In the 2000s , McDonald 's experimented with the possibility of animating the characters to improve ratings . Various spots featuring the Hamburglar and other characters alongside celebrities were planned but were canceled . A conflict emerged between agencies regarding whether to continue using the characters or to follow through with the desire of ad agency Leo Burnett to elevate the `` I 'm lovin ' it '' campaign and phase out the characters completely . The latter option was chosen , and the McDonaldland characters were retired . 2004 -- present : just Ronald McDonald ( edit ) In recent years , the McDonaldland premise has largely been phased out of advertising campaigns and Happy Meals . Despite this , the McDonaldland characters continue to appear in McDonald 's play areas , decorative seats for children 's birthday parties , and bibs , though only Ronald McDonald , Birdie , Grimace , and Hamburglar appear in them . They also appeared on some soft drink cups until 2008 . They do however still appear as cookies in pouches respectively titled `` McDonaldland Cookies '' . Today , the characters appear on the windows of some McDonald 's restaurants . Modern commercials nowadays usually depict Ronald McDonald alone in real - world situations with real children , whether he visits a local restaurant or goes to visit sick children at Ronald McDonald House . Grimace , however , had a non-speaking appearance in an advertisement for Monsters vs. Aliens Happy Meal Toys , while Hamburglar ( in a new look ) also appeared in a more adult - oriented commercial advertising the Big Mac . Characters ( edit ) Ronald McDonald is the primarily cultural icon and official mascot of McDonald 's . He is a clown with red hair and a big red smile who wears a yellow suit and red shoes . While his suit has gone through various changes over the years , it has basically remained the same . Hamburglar -- A pint - sized burglar who was introduced in 1971 and was one of the first antagonists on the commercials often attempting to steal burgers from Ronald . He was revised in 1985 . From 1971 to 1992 , Hamburglar was performed by Frank Delfino , Jerry Maren in some commercials , and Tommy Vicini from 1992 to 2003 while the character was voiced by Larry Storch from 1971 to 1986 , Howard Morris from 1986 to 2003 , and sometimes Charlie Adler in commercials during the mid 1980 's and The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald . In 2015 , McDonald 's brought back the Hamburglar as part of the promotion of a new sirloin burger . Grimace -- A large purple monster first introduced in November 1971 as the `` Evil Grimace '' . In Grimace 's first appearances , he was depicted with two pairs of arms with which to steal sodas and shakes . `` Evil '' was soon dropped from Grimace 's name , and Grimace was reintroduced in 1972 as one of the good guys . Grimace was performed by Patty Saunders and voiced by Lennie Weinrib from 1971 to 1985 , Frank Welker from 1985 to 2003 , Sometimes Larry Moran from 1985 to 2003 , and Kevin Michael Richardson in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald . Mayor McCheese -- An enormous cheeseburger - headed character who first appeared in 1971 and was dropped in 1985 . He sported a top hat , a diplomat 's sash , and a pair of pince - nez spectacles . He was performed by Billy Curtis until he retired in the late 1970s ; Jerry Maren then took over the role . He was voiced by Howard Morris in early commercials , then by Bob Joles in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald episode `` Have Time , Will Travel '' , both actors basing the character 's voice on that of comedian Ed Wynn . Birdie the Early Bird -- The first identifiably female character , introduced in February 1980 to promote the company 's new breakfast items . She was a yellow bird wearing a pink jumpsuit and flight cap and scarf . She could fly but was prone to crash landings , but was hardly , if ever , hurt after one . Birdie was performed by actress Patty Maloney and voiced by Russi Taylor in the commercials and by Christine Cavanaugh in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald . Captain Crook -- The pirate captain who first appeared in 1971 and resembles Walt Disney 's Captain Hook in the 1953 movie Peter Pan . He steals Filet - O - Fish sandwiches . He was revised in 1984 with a Muppet - like appearance and later became simply known as `` The Captain '' . Captain Crook was performed by Bob Towers and voiced by Larry Storch . The Professor -- A scientist introduced in 1971 , who is McDonaldland 's inventor and researcher . He was voiced by Andre Stojka . Officer Big Mac climb - in jail playground . Officer Big Mac -- Featured in several of the campaign 's commercials throughout the early 1970s and early 1980s . He was similar to Mayor McCheese in that he had a large burger for a head , but , in his case , the head was a Big Mac ( minus the vegetables and the special sauce ) rather than a cheeseburger . He was the chief of police and as such he wore a constable uniform with a disproportionately small custodian helmet resting atop his head bun . As the main source of law and order in McDonaldland , Officer Big Mac spent most of his time chasing Hamburglar and Captain Crook . Officer Big Mac was Performed by Jerry Maren and voiced by Ted Cassidy . A blue female Fry Kid is perched on a McDonald 's sign in Milwaukee , Wisconsin . Fry Kids -- The Fry Kids first appeared in 1972 ( called `` Gobblins '' ) , trying to steal other characters ' fries . Their name was changed to `` Fry Guys '' in 1983 , then `` Fry Kids '' in 1987 , as female characters ( the `` Fry Girls '' ) were introduced . The Fry Kids spoke in sped - up voices in the 1980s commercials , were variously voiced in the 1990s commercials , and were voiced by Kath Soucie , Paul Greenberg , and Nika Futterman in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald . The Hamburger Patch -- First appeared in 1971 ; a place where hamburgers `` grew '' like fruit . Trash Cans -- Talking twin trash cans . They were part of a 1970s McDonald 's commercial The Happy Meal Gang -- Introduced in 1984 , they were joined by the McNugget Buddies in 1984 and the Happy Meal Box and the Under 3 Toy in 1992 ... The Happy Meal Hamburger was voiced by Bob Arbogast and later by Jim Cummings , the Happy Meal Fries was voiced by Jeff Winkless and later voiced by Bob Bergen and then Tress MacNeille , and the Happy Meal Drink was voiced by Hal Smith and later voiced by Bill Farmer . Uncle O'Grimacey -- Created in 1977 and first appeared in 1978 for an advertising narrative of McDonald 's , both in celebration of Saint Patrick 's Day and to mark the annual appearance of the Shamrock Shake , voiced by Lennie Weinrib in an Irish accent . CosMc -- A temporary character from McDonaldland , an alien who talked like a surfer dude , first appearing in the mid-1980s . CosMc was a character in the video game M.C. Kids . CosMc was performed by Tommy Vicini and voiced by Frank Welker . The McNugget Buddies -- A bunch of regular - sized Chicken McNuggets . They were introduced in 1984 . In The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald , the McNugget Buddies were depicted as anthropomorphic nuggets with chicken beaks . The McNugget Buddies were voiced by Hal Rayle , Frank Welker , Katie Leigh , Greg Berg , Pat Musick , Don Messick , and Pat Fraley in the commercials and by Pamela Adlon , Lisa Raggio , and Charlie Adler in `` The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald .

"McDonaldland was a fantasy world used in the marketing for McDonald's restaurants. McDonaldland was inhabited by Ronald McDonald and other characters. In addition to being used in advertising, the characters were used as the basis for equipment in the “playplaces” attached to some McDonald's. McDonaldland and the supporting characters were dropped from McDonald's marketing in 2003, but Ronald McDonald is still seen in commercials and in Happy Meal toys.\n"

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

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

"\"No Taxation Without Representation\" is a slogan originating during the 1750s and 1760s that summarized a primary grievance of the American colonists in the Thirteen Colonies, which was one of the major causes of the American Revolution. In short, many in those colonies believed that, as they were not directly represented in the distant British Parliament, any laws it passed affecting the colonists (such as the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act) were illegal under the Bill of Rights 1689, and were a denial of their rights as Englishmen."

Went the Strings of My Heart '' Released April 1958 Format 45 rpm , 78 rpm Recorded March 17 , 1958 Genre Rock and roll Length 1 : 52 Label Atco 6116 Songwriter ( s ) Jerry Leiber , Mike Stoller Producer ( s ) Jerry Leiber , Mike Stoller The Coasters singles chronology `` Gee , Golly '' ( 1958 ) `` Yakety Yak '' ( 1958 ) `` The Shadow Knows '' ( 1958 ) `` Gee , Golly '' ( 1958 ) `` Yakety Yak '' ( 1958 ) `` The Shadow Knows '' ( 1958 ) `` Yakety Yak '' is a song written , produced , and arranged by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller for The Coasters and released on Atlantic Records in 1958 , spending seven weeks as # 1 on the R&B charts and a week as number one on the Top 100 pop list . This song was one of a string of singles released by The Coasters between 1957 and 1959 that dominated the charts , one of the biggest performing acts of the rock and roll era . Contents ( hide ) 1 Song 2 Popular culture 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Song ( edit ) The song is a `` playlet , '' a word Stoller used for the glimpses into teenage life that characterized the songs Leiber and Stoller wrote and produced . The lyrics describe the listing of household chores to a kid , presumably a teenager , the teenager 's response ( `` yakety yak '' ) and the parents ' retort ( `` do n't talk back '' ) -- an experience very familiar to a middle - class teenager of the day . Leiber has said the Coasters portrayed `` a white kid 's view of a black person 's conception of white society . '' The serio - comic street - smart `` playlets '' etched out by the songwriters were sung by the Coasters with a sly clowning humor , while the saxophone of King Curtis filled in , in the up - tempo doo - wop style . The group was openly `` theatrical '' in style -- they were not pretending to be expressing their own experience . The threatened punishment for not taking out the garbage and sweeping the floor is , in the song 's humorous lyrics : `` You ai n't gon na rock and roll no more , '' And the refrain is : `` Yakety yak ; do n't talk back . '' Popular culture ( edit ) Québécois duo Les Jérolas recorded in 1959 a French version `` Rouspet ' pas '' The sax solo by King Curtis inspired the 1963 Boots Randolph song `` Yakety Sax '' Sha Na Na performed this as part of their set at the original Woodstock Festival and recorded 2 live covers of the song in 1971 and 1972 The song was covered by Jan & Dean and was planned to be released on their album Carnival of Sound in 1968 . Carnival of Sound was not released until 2010 . Lee Perry released a cover version in 1969 ( as Lee Perry and the Upsetters ) , altering the lyric `` You ai n't gon na rock and roll no more '' to `` You ai n't gon na reggae reggae reggae no more '' The Pipkins covered their song in 1970 , produced by John Burgess . Electronic / disco group El Coco covered this song in 1975 with some comedy elements , taken from their debut album , Mondo Disco , released on AVI Records . Vince Vance & The Valiants , one of multiple groups parodying Barbara Ann as `` Bomb Iran '' in 1980 , created a similarly themed 2005 parody called `` Yakety Yak ( Bomb Iraq ) '' . Stand by Me , the 1986 classic coming of age drama included `` Yakety Yak '' on its iconic soundtrack . The song has also been mixed & recorded by 2 Live Crew for the 1988 movie Twins . In the same film , Julius ( Arnold Schwarzenegger ) sings along , with hilarious results , as the song plays in his earphones while flying to the United States . The song is sung by the Coasters in the 1988 horror - comedy Phantom of the Ritz which the four - man group makes a cameo appearance . It has also served as the theme to Clive Anderson 's chat - show Clive Anderson Talks Back during the 1990s , and as the opening theme of the 1988 movie The Great Outdoors . It was the inspiration and theme song for the 2002 - 2003 Canadian / Australian animated series , Yakkity Yak . A modified version , `` Yakety Yak , Take it Back '' , was used in a 1990 all - star PSA for the Take It Back Foundation . A music video starring Plucky Duck as the kid tasked with chores , and a group of anthropomorphic yaks in police officer suits , aired on the 90th episode of Tiny Toon Adventures and used in The Plucky Duck Show . The song was parodied for use in adverts for Radox bath soak and McCain Micro Chips in the 1980s and 1990s respectively . The song name was used for the code name of Ubuntu 16.10 , a Linux operating system with its versions all named after animals . Phantom Planet covered this song for the soundtrack of the 1999 film Mumford .

For a broader coverage related to this topic , see Earth core . The internal structure of Earth The outer core of the Earth is a fluid layer about 2,400 km ( 1,500 mi ) thick and composed of mostly iron and nickel that lies above Earth 's solid inner core and below its mantle . Its outer boundary lies 2,890 km ( 1,800 mi ) beneath Earth 's surface . The transition between the inner core and outer core is located approximately 5,150 km ( 3,200 mi ) beneath the Earth 's surface . Unlike the inner core , the outer core is liquid . The inner core is also referred to as the solid core . Contents ( hide ) 1 Properties 2 See also 3 References 4 External links Properties ( edit ) Seismic inversions of body waves and normal modes constrain the radius of the outer core to be 3483 km with an uncertainty of 5 km , while that of the inner core is 1220 ± 10 km . Estimates for the temperature of the outer core are about 3,000 -- 4,500 K ( 2,730 -- 4,230 ° C ; 4,940 -- 7,640 ° F ) in its outer regions and 4,000 -- 8,000 K ( 3,730 -- 7,730 ° C ; 6,740 -- 13,940 ° F ) near the inner core . Evidence for a fluid outer core includes from seismology which shows that seismic shear - waves are not transmitted through the outer core Because of its high temperature , modeling work has shown that the outer core is a low viscosity fluid that convects turbulently . Eddy currents in the nickel iron fluid of the outer core are believed to influence the Earth 's magnetic field . The average magnetic field strength in the Earth 's outer core was measured to be 2.5 millitesla , 50 times stronger than the magnetic field at the surface . The outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid , so it is liquid even though it has a composition similar to the inner core . Sulfur and oxygen could be present in the outer core . As heat is transferred outward toward the mantle , the net trend is for the inner boundary of the liquid region to freeze , causing the solid inner core to grow . This growth rate is estimated to be 1 mm per year .
